Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into fatherhood after 50! In this episode of Gray Hair & Daycare, Frank and Carlo continue the saga of Baby Josie’s adventures at sea. If you’re looking for a parenting podcast for dads that balances humor in life with actual baby advice, you’ve found it.
Frank recounts the "happiest moment" of his dad life—watching his daughter being transfixed by a Disney Broadway show—before pivoting to the high-stakes world of the "Diaper Dash." This isn't just parenting; it's a full-contact sport involving roaring fathers, terrifying cheers, and a baby who only has a "reverse gear" for crawling.
We also explore the reality of being a dad trying to relax, featuring a $500 couple’s massage where the therapist went so hard it felt like a personal vendetta. Whether you're an older dad looking for fatherhood tips on "blackout years" for travel or just here for the parenting comedy, we’re covering the "madness of dadness" from every angle.
