Fartzilla & 20-Terabyte Fails: Gen X Dad Life Season 1 Finale Extravaganza!

Welcome to the Season 1 Finale of Gray Hair & Daycare, the premier parenting podcast for dads where the gray hair is real and the dad humor is vintage. We are recapping 43 episodes of raising kids as older dads, reflecting on an 18-month journey that took us from an 18-week pregnancy to a "North Side Leaning" toddler. In this parenting comedy wrap-up, we revisit the arrival of "Fartzilla," the mystery of "meconium" (it's not Kryptonite!), and the time Frank's basement flooded while Kelly was in labor. If you're looking for new dad advice or fatherhood tips, you won't want to miss our "Crash Test Daddy" highlights, featuring the "Cadillac of nursing pillows" and the $80 Ergobaby carrier struggle. Being a dad at 55+ means finding the humor in life when your 20-terabyte hard drive crashes or when a toy duck tells you your bath water is "deadly". We dive into fatherhood advice from our "Silver Fox Mailbox," tackle parent advice on why we don't film crying babies for clicks, and reveal the final Season 1 bill in "Check, Please". Parenting isn't always easy, but as we've learned, you aren't a whole person until you've experienced the "madness of dadness". This is fatherhood in the fast lane (with a diaper bag).
