In Part 2 of our 35th episode, Frank and Carlo dive deep into the \"Crash Test Daddy\" files. If you are looking for new dad advice on how to survive a plastic tea party without losing your dignity, Frank has some hilarious fatherhood tips regarding the \"diuretic\" nature of imaginary tea. Raising kids at 56 and 57 comes with a unique set of challenges, from navigating \"percentile panic\" at the pediatrician to managing a dad life that now includes a \"VTech Prance and Rock Learning Unicorn\". We also offer some baby advice for the budget-conscious: Frank's \"Check, Please\" segment reveals the running total for baby Josie has officially hit $8,785—and that's before the new car seat!. This episode is packed with parenting comedy, including Josie's new \"piggy snort\" that is currently terrorizing the pews at church and the aisles of Wegmans. We also tackle the \"Silver Fox Mailbox,\" where we defend the Cradlewise crib against YouTube \"haters\". Whether you're an older dad or just someone who enjoys humor in life, this episode provides the fatherhood advice, parent advice, and dad humor you need to survive parenting. Join us as we celebrate a Gen X fatherhood journey that Frank calls \"the best year of my life\". Being a dad has never been this funny—or this expensive.
