Episode 11: Pre-Corona Throwback! Dentists, Dad-Bods and Disney

Hey scrappers, before everything went haywire with COVID-19, we had recorded a regular ol' Dad Scrap chat. We wanted to share that with you now, in hopes that maybe it'll take your mind off the current moment and remind you of the delightfully small headaches that are just around the bend. Or are they? Who knows? We hope you all are well and safe. The recipe for this episode is from Bon Appetít: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/weeknight-pad-thai Thanks -- Matt, Mark and John

Episode 10: Pod Families

On this special episode, Matt contemplates joining a family pod, a small group of like-minded families vowing to self-isolate with one another during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current members of their own family pod, Mark and John help him weigh the decision. Plus, the guys briefly reminisce about the 2004 film, The Aviator. If you have any questions, comments, or family-pod-related questions for us, feel free to visit anchor.fm/dadscraps and leave us a message.

Episode 9: Insults, Bathroom Behavior, and Self-Care

On this week's episode we discuss being insulted by our kids,  the strange things they do in the bathroom, and try to figure out how to take care of our mental and physical health during quarantine. The key word is try. No meal this time, but if you happen to have an excess amount of celery in your fridge, Matt has a delicious recipe for you to try: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/02/warm-spanish-style-giat-bean-salad-recipe.html If you have any questions, comments, or well-meaning insults for us, feel free to visit anchor.fm/dadscraps and leave us a message.
