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 gray hair is real and dad humor is vintage. We recap 43 hilarious episodes of raising kids as older dads, reflecting on the journey from an 18-week pregnancy to a North Side Leaning toddler. This parenting comedy wrap-up shares new dad advice and fatherhood tips, including the mystery of meconium, the $80 Ergobaby carrier struggle, and Frank's basement flood during labor. Being a dad at 55+ means finding humor in life's chaos, from 20-terabyte hard drives crashing to bath water told 'deadly' by a toy duck. Join us for parenting humor, sciencebased parenting insights, and the madness of dadness in this heartfelt finale.
