New Problem Roulette w/ Fabian Rafael - Amateur Dads - Ep. 18

Welcome to Amateur Dads, the show about being a dad and all the joys, stresses and concerns that come with it.

Keith, Jae and Fabian have a “normal” episode of Amateur Dads with anecdotes, advice, and lamentations! 

In this episode:

  • Potty training
  • Kids dressing themselves
  • Kids got opinions
  • Footies with pre-existing conditions
  • Mother’s Day review
  • Speaking into the Void
  • A cornbread story
  • Cookies are like steaks?

If you’re in Fort Worth, TX, visit Fabian at Niles City Hall Saloon (@nilescityhall) in the Stockyards, and let him know the Amateur Dads sent you there. 

If you’re in the Maryland area, check out The Manor at Silo Falls. That’s where Keith got his killer grocery haul.

Please remember to stay hydrated, keep in touch with loved ones, and support your local businesses as much as possible.

Recorded on Day 64 of the COVID-19 lockdown.

There is Going to be an After This w/ Fabian Rafael - Amateur Dads - Ep. 17

Welcome to Amateur Dads, the show about being a dad and all the joys, stresses and concerns that come with it. 

Jae and Keith welcome back (still?) special guest and father of two, Fabian Rafael (@proper_bartender). 

Jae gives kudos to the creative adaptors to this new world. Keith has a kickass grocery haul. Fabian’s reopening the bar. 

So what’s the future definition of personal space? What’s the future of school? What do our kids have to look forward to tomorrow? What's the plan for the fall? Who knows, but remember there is going to be an “after this”. 

But first, Jae and Keith reminisce about the tastes of New York. 

Please remember to stay hydrated, keep in touch with loved ones, and support your local businesses as much as possible. Thanks for listening and stay awesome.

Kids Don’t Deserve Dessert w/ SPECIAL GUEST Fabian Rafael - Amateur Dads - Ep. 15 - EXPLICIT

Welcome to Amateur Dads, the show about being a dad and all the joys, stresses and concerns that come with it. 

Jae and Keith are joined on this unofficial Day 26 of the new COVID-19 reality with special guest and father of two, Fabian Rafael (@proper_bartender).

In this episode, we're flipping from a downer to uppers! We cover what we're eating, what we're drinking, and what we've discovered so far during this great time of change in our society.

But first, a disclaimer (F*** yeah!) and what exactly constitutes "an egg product"?

Potty Training and our Goals for 2020 - Amateur Dads - Ep. 10

It’s 2020 and the Amateur Dads are back! We’re talking potty training, goals for the year, and at what point someone decides it’s ok to have a phone call on the toilet at work. But first, Jae stepped on a Starting Lineup toy and his foot hurts. :::::::It seems the mantra for the year will be “Finished, not Perfect” as the Anchor app gave us some issues. But what matters is we delivered our first episode of the year.

Nationals:Astros Game 6 - World Series - Amateur Dads - Ep. 8

Bang Zoom go the fireworks and the Washington Nationals have forced a Game 7 in the 2019 World Series. It was quite a game, but with the Nats finding their bats and Strasburg dominating from the mound, their mission was clear. Keith and Jae discuss the game and the controversial call at first that could have swung the momentum in the Astros’ favor. (Go get ‘em Davey!) But first, a story about butts.

Nationals:Astros Game 5 - World Series - Amateur Dads - Ep. 7

Game 5 loss got you down? It’s got the Amateur Dads feeling some things. Jae wants Dave to treat those sunflower seeds better. Keith is livid, but did witness the best Jack@$$ery after a sporting event. What’s going on with the rest of the Nats fans?

Super Soldiers and the Best/Worst Parents in Story with Jason Inman - Amateur Dads - Ep. 2

Super Soldiers and the Best/Worst Parents in Story with Jason Inman - Amateur Dads - Ep. 2

The military has fathered many a superhero and villain in the comic book industry, and this week we discuss its impact with Jason Inman, author of the new book Super Soldiers: A Salute to the Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country.
The book comes out on June 18th and my brother and I really look forward to getting our hands on a copy. You can pre-order the book on Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, IndieBound or your local book store. It’s available on Audible as well (unfortunately, Jason, the owner of sweet, sweet podcast/host voice does not narrate the book).
We got into why Jason included villains in his book, the least represented branches of the military, and getting vaccinated to the nines. We believe Jason has a very unique take on the characters in his book, and really look forward to reading Super Soldiers.
Jae learns the difference between Captain Atom and THE Atom. Keith’s mind gets blown. And Jason lets us know the worst dad in film.
Mentioned in the episode:

Operation Gratitude accepts donations throughout the year of various supplies and necessities, but in November (the month of Veteran’s Day) Jason runs the JAWIIN Comic Drive for Service Members. Please visit their site and consider donating to the troops.
Jason’s podcast with his wife Ashley Victoria Robinson, Geek History Lesson, can teach you even more about geeky characters and stories.
Read comics on Hoopla! It’s part of your local library
Follow Jason on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube at @Jawiin.
