When I am Home Alone With the Kids
Each parent in every couple may parent their children they have together differently than the other. It is important for your children to be under instruction of both parents separately at times. This weekend Boog and GQ tap into the importance of it and how it affects the overall well being of children. Instagram: @diaper.dads @iamlawrencedavis
Militant Mind State
First and foremost, we want to thank all of our active duty and veterans who serve(d) to keep not only our nation safe, but most importantly their families. After serving in the military you are conditioned mentally to think in a certain structure. But how does those skills transfer into parenthood? This week, we have Banks who has served and raising to phenomenal young boys. Tap in and listen to his story! Instagram: @iamlawrencedavis @diaper.dads
Super Bowl Mentality
When you come from a lineage of Athletes it tends to become a lifestyle in other aspects of life. This week we have been blessed by Emanuel McPhearson (@emac_1) ,who has siblings who have performed at a high level. Even so, having a little brother playing in Super Bowl LVII. Now being a parent it seems as though those skill shave translated to parenthood.
Halftime

Coaching vs. Parenting
To those athletes out there we've always heard players looking at their coach as a parent figure in their lives one way or another. How does that look or feel from the coaches side? Today we have our special guest, Justin (@coachmccoy21) who is the head coach of a high school basketball team, and has such an incredible bond with his family and players.
Thanks to Justin for touching base with our Diaper Dad family!

My Priorities vs. Having a Child
In the beginning of parenthood we may have overwhelming feelings of what to do next. We know were to start with our priorities, but what when it comes to taking care of ourself?

Pregaming Before The Kids
We all have a time in our life where partying is life and we have no cares in the world. Now that we are parents, we so much more responsibility now it can overwhelming to some! This is the episode where the two worlds collide! Thank you Pregame on The Hill for going us. Obi and Njegan (@njegan23) for coming onboard.
Is it patience or delicacy?
Patience and delicacy are two perspectives that can easily be confused with each other. We think because we have patience we automatically display delicacy. This week we have the pleasure of having a very special guest Shane ( @the_kid_fresh) , who brought nothing but positivity and refreshing conversations to Diaper Dads. Thank you Shane for delivering such an outlook that is life changing. Instagram: @iamlawrencedavis @he_kid_fresh

I Am Not Her Stepdad… I Am That Girls Father!
This week we have a very special guest on the show @karathrihcardson. From day one, he has always said he is the Father of his baby girl whether or not she is biologically his. To Karath, blood has nothing to to with the bond, love, and relationship he has with her. There has even been instance that he has went to battle against bullies on social media for her without a second thought! Check in to the best podcast in the parenting world!
Why Can't You Ball Like Your Dad?
We see these tremendous athletes bless pro sports with their amazing talents every day. They are amazing fathers and raise their kids who sometimes aspire to play the sport they love. But what happens when their child doesn't amount to the level of talent they posses/possessed? As fans we always wonder why their child didn't become great since they have all the tools necessary to achieve greatness. Tap in!
I Am a Better Parent When You Aren't Here
Do men really show off their parenting skills when their lady is around? Or do we become kind of the yes men to keep the peace in the housed bottle it up? Generally speaking we show how much of a parent we are when our lady leaves the house leaving us and our child at home. Men find out more about themselves as a parent when they are taking this storm head on versus when we are working cohesively as a team to parent.
I Decided to Go to Therapy
Why isn't therapy an option for men? Who does the boss lean on when everyone leans on the boss? Therapy does not mean nor show a sign of weakness within men. Why won't we go? Boog, found a way and decided it was time because he wanted to improve for his family but most importantly HIMSELF. Being vulnerable isn't an easy thing to do for men. Maybe Boog's story may change the minds of men to encourage help when needed.
Your Child isn't As Great As You Think
Oh I am sure he was just an angel... The first statement from the parents of mass shooters is " well we had know idea" or " he wouldn't hurt anyone" . Turns out those parents obviously may not know their child as well as they once thought. Our question to you is, do you really pay attention to the signs? Or do you claim to know your child as well as you ?
I Only Worry About My Kids
Of course we are fully responsible for our kids, but what about when your partner as other children from a different man? Technically you are only responsible for your child alone, however is it morally correct to forget about the others. Children are innocent people who always deserve to be taken care of. LISTEN UP!
This Generation of Parents Are Weak
With various outlets that we are exposed to as parents could be a gift and a curse. From social media outlets to books, we may sometimes tend to follow instead of lead. Some may see it as beneficial as they can learn from those before them who choose to tell their story. Experience is the greatest teacher in life and we should trust our natural abilities before we learn from another point of view..... TAP IN!
"Oh, are you trying to set my kids up?!"
There are many theories as to how one becomes racist or dislikes another enthinicity, race, or gender. But where does that all start from? We are ALL are born with a CLEAN SLATE and somehow individuals dislike other because of their skin hue. GQ and Boog look at it from a parents perspective when our children are faced with others who dislike them without knowing them. Take a listen!
Father Time Always Wins
Man, ain't funny how relatable life is to the music we listen to? Kendrick Lamar dropped a mean gem for all of the fathers out there who are walking this path. Boog and GQ breakdown this beautiful masterpiece to help others realize how true and real this song is. Tune in!
Not The Babies!
So much has been going on in the world and children's lives have been put to risk and unfortunately lost. Many prayers to all of the loved ones who are suffering in Uvalde, TX. GQ and Boog take the time to remember those sweet souls as well as catch up on life! Tune in!
You only love me for my money.
As men, our mothers just want us to be as successful as we can and make something of ourself. Meanwhile, when a man chooses a moment to commit to she does not settle for anything less than what he could provide for her. What a crazy way of looking at it right? Listen to GQ and Boog as they take a stab at this twisted narrative.
My kids will know more than me
This generation of children are and will be exposed to so many things that we never would've have thought of at that age. To some parents we find it scary, while other parents expect it as society is constantly evolving. Take a listen to what GQ and Boog have to say!
I Suffer From Imposter Syndrome
We as humans naturally evolved into different beings throughout life. Can imposter syndrome hold an individual back from being the greatness they deserve to be whether in work, relationships or... fatherhood? Boog and GQ dive deep into this topic with interesting view points. Check in!
"I don't need a father, I have a father figure."
Is being a father different than being a father figure? Or do you even have to father child to claim that title of a Father Figure? Sometimes men with a child(ren) do not posses the ability to be a father figure, while men without kids could thrive in that aspect. Listen into what GQ and Boog have to say...
I think it's okay to miss the birth of my child.
Take a second to think about all of the events you had growing up? Did you have your parents there for EVERY single event? Or was one of your parents seasonal to these monumental moments? Boog and GQ talk about all the events in a Childs life that there is no excuse to miss. Check it out!
You don't know EVERYTHING
We all have our own parenting styles, so how do we make them gel when trying to raise a beautiful child with your partner? So many factors arise when situations get tough. As always, hear what your host Boog and GQ have to say.

To be an elite celebrity must be a tough lifestyle as it is. Bt having multiple kids by MULTIPLE women is a completely different ball game. Boog and GQ take a deep look into the lifestyle of American Icon Nick Cannon.
I want to be a dad like Ray J!
We always think money would make parenthood easier. Does it actually though? Being a parent is a demanding job, however being famous and in the lime light is too as well! We all want to be there but when money is on the line are we going to step up even harder to the plate at home? Tap in once again!
I'm a MAN... I'm not suppose to express myself.
Being a father is harder than being a mother? Or do you feel otherwise? GQ and Boog breakdown both side step by step and have come up to an interesting and complex answer. Take a listen as they are taking a deep look into this topic.
