The Rad Daddy Family Drive Podcast

After a looooooong break, the podcast is back! I'm back BABY! I, the dad, sit with my boys, the ninjas, and we craft an insane story of a robo-oven who plays rock and roll! Can it be more epic? We also do a short quiz on family and children's movies.

Pretty rad songs and stories to keep loud kids quiet(er) when you need it. Not your typical kids show, way more awesome. I keep it exciting and always original. 4 out of 5 pandas agree that parents will like it too, and that 5th panda is a liar!

Join Steve by the fireplace as he shares Christmas songs and a very unique holiday story. Markers: 1:15 Little Drummer Boy (Dude) 2:53 Jingle Bells 5:51 Story about a generous robot 18:26 Feliz Navidad 20:52 Joy To the World

Trick or Treat and all your favorite monsters are interviewed in this special halloween show! Steve gives you the master trick or treat plan and then travels the world to track down the famous movie monsters for an interview, only to find that all the monsters have grown up.

Just in time for Halloween, this little book will freak you out and make you laugh. Join Steve as he tells us about things that don't scare him. His world is turned up-side-down when normal, everyday things turn horrific. 

In this episode, I attempt to create a story with my boys. We gathered a couple toys for inspiration and set off to craft a tale of dreams, ghost planes, monster planes, beasts and giant birds. It. Is. A. Doozey. I also create this podcast while out on a walk with my family and test out my new Bossjock app. Fall is a beautiful time of year here in Sweden. I took some photos of our time out on the trails.

These short trips are random, improvised fun to hold people over while the the Family Drive episodes are being carefully crafted with quality songs and stories. Next Friday's Family Drive is all about brothers! In this episode: Steve plays his guitar after being apart from it for over a year, and gets a little emotional. "Keep Your Nasty Feet to Yourself", Steve creates a random song from an online topic generator that said to write about feet. Steve and his boys talk about life with brothers, but it doesn't go well. "Planet Travellers", 7yr old Manny makes his artist debut Remember, the podcast needs your reviews to grow.

My boys ran a kids marathon!   Brain Facts: Brains are really important. The average number of thoughts a person has each day is 70,000. There are 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the brain. The distance around the world at the equator is 24,900 miles. The average adult human brain weighs three pounds, has a texture like firm jelly and is made up of 75 percent water Size doesn’t matter in the brain. There is no evidence that a larger brain is smarter than a smaller brain. Song: “Feed Your Brain”, by Steve Ferris Story: “Eddie and the Brain from Space”, by Steve Ferris Here is the poem that inspired this story: “One kid was good in a class full of jerks Who thought it wouldn’t work to not do their work. So his brain grew strong while their’s grew lame, And that was how it was until this one day. A man-eating brain from space came looking for food And when it smelled all the weak minds, and ate the entire room. But when it came upon the kid focused on his book, He turned away and flew to space Without a second look.”

Full episodes are released every other Friday. This "Short Trip" is a small bit of fun, news and whatever else Steve finds laying around. This episode features: Updates for the upcoming "Brain" show.  Steve chats with his son Emanuel and shares some news.  Steve's other son, Simeon gets in a "mood" and starts growling, hitting the table and shooting his dad with a Nerf gun.  WANTED: Contributors for songs and stories.
