Dad and Buried is a podcast about parenting from a couple of guys who hate parenting. Don't get them wrong, they love their kids - to different degrees, depending on the day (and the kid) - but being a parent is tough, time-consuming, stressful, thankless, expensive, exhausting, largely unrewarding, really loud, often quite boring - did I say expensive yet?,or thankless? - emotionally draining work. Join Mike and Pete as they mock children, bash parenting, and talk about the stuff that most parents don't usually talk about. At least not out loud.

The Burieds in Paradise

August 16, 2023 09:16 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

Take a trip to paradise with the Burieds as they tell you all about the amazing vacation they took to the Paradisus Cancun! Mom and Dad and Buried partnered with the all-inclusive resort where they took advantage of the beautiful beaches, multiple pools, and bottomless drinks-- because they brought their kids along too. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Which, as every parent knows, technically made it a "trip" and not a vacation. Hear all about it - including their triumphant Escape Room experience (thanks to M...

The Dad and Buried Podcast returns with Dad and Buried and Mom and Buried, who kick off a new season of the show with a recap of what they’ve been up to - a surprisingly fun trip to Disney World, a first grader losing his teeth, an almost-teen gaining an attitude - and what is in store for the rest of the summer - a vacation in paradise, life with a new teenager, and a much-needed cleaning of the junk drawer.

The Art & Science of Giving Gifts this Holiday Season - #118 | Dad & Buried

December 23, 2021 14:59 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB

Ahh Christmas. The holiday that tries to be one thing but ultimately is about another.  Parents seem to fall into two camps; those who listened attentively to their spouse and kids throughout the year and bought all presents by November 1st and those of us who now blame lack of presents on "supply chain issues." There are those that give physical gifts and and those that give experiences. In Mike's case he was able to give his wife heather both! When he gave her a physical gift of a dehumidi...

Holidays = In Laws: The One Problem Parents Will Never be Able to Solve - #116 | Dad & Buried

December 09, 2021 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.7 MB

Let me drop a little math on you; Holidays = In-laws. Boom. Bam. Move over Hawking. Thanks Newton, but I'm good. I just proved the transient property of how your In-Laws WILL show up at your house for holidays. [Nasal voice} "But we normally go to them." Whatever dude, Math isn't an exact science, everyone knows that. Here's the point: you can't have the holidays without the In Laws. For better or worse it' just  a fact and I just "mathed" it. You know who else "mathed" it? Mike and Pete who...

Parenting rule #101: Date Night Makes Right - #116 | Dad & Buried

December 03, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MB

Have you heard? Parenting kids is hard! Yeah, the new study just came in, from me, and it's true #science. As parents, the number 1 thing you need to do is keep a united front. To do that you need to be, y'know, "united."  How do you unite after all the screaming and crying (not to mention what your kids are doing)? You have a date night. It's a time to reconnect. But more importantly, it's time alone, together. Y'know, to strategize how to keep those little buggers in place. Some of the mos...

All the Ways Your Kids Can Surprise You (It's Only a Few) - #115 | D&B

November 18, 2021 15:59 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MB

There are times as a parent your kid, the same kid who barely talks to you, will stand up in front of guests at a party and recite Shakespeare. Ok, fine, that's almost never happened. But, BUT, there are things similar that your kids will do or you're told your kid did that leave you with one simple question "My kid did that?!" Mike and Pete get to the bottom of all the different ways your kid has blown you away in the most surprising way (it's just two). Enjoy! Support us 🙏 https://www.pa...

Do Parents Use Tough Love Anymore? - #114 | Dad & Buried

October 28, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MB

We know parents have it tough, but do our kids? A lot's changed since we were kids. Enrique Iglesias was crushing the charts, Smashmouth was a thing, and flying cars is what we had to look forward to in 2021. Maybe the biggest thing that's changed has been parenting styles. Have we gone from "suck" to "blow" in one generation? Too many participation trophies? Too few boundaries? Have we overcorrected? No, no. It's the KIDS who are wrong! Yeah, it's always those damn kids. Well an entire gene...

Empty Nest Syndrome: A post Covid reality for many? - #113 | Dad & Buried

October 21, 2021 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.9 MB

It's been a year and a half since parents took on the mantle of being full time teachers on top of everything else we have going on. While in some households lockdowns meant that child mortality skyrocketed, especially around bedtime [JUST BRUSH YOUR TEEEEEEETH!!], others have lived some kind of Swiss Family Robinson kinda life  and now it's all come crashing down as their kids are FINALLY back in school. Hard to relate I know, but here on the Dad & Buried podcast we're nothing if not 1) wel...

Are Parents Prepping Our Kids for the Future? - #112 | Dad & Buried

October 14, 2021 09:00 - 59 minutes - 55.3 MB

I believe the children are the future. We have to teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside...Ahem, had to be done. But are we really getting our kids ready for what the future brings? Are we too over protective? Or are we not protective enough over things like social media habits? Or how are kids use the internet? As always Mike and Pete tackle this hefty topic with a mix research, skill and aplomb. JK they just wing it. Enjoy! Support us 🙏 ht...

Give it Up For Parenting! - #110 | Dad & Buried

September 30, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50.7 MB

The great parenting philosopher Thanos summed it up best when asked by a small child, "what did it cost?" [Thanos]: "Everything." The sacrifice is real and... [looks down at shoes and kicks a stone] worth it. When you become a parent there are some things you know you have to give up like being in a rock band, or wingsuiting. But then there's other things that you never thought you'd have to give up like going out with friends, video games or doing class A drugs. The two other great parentin...

How to Raise Well Rounded Kids in 3 Excruciatingly Painful Steps - #108 | Dad & Buried

July 22, 2021 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

Is it even possible to raise well rounded kids these days? We all fall into our niche interests so quickly.  And by niche interests I obviously mean watching stuff on the internet. Are the goalposts too narrow? We want our kids to be polite, but not so polite they don't stand up for themselves. We want them to be good at sports, school, and social stuff but not too focused on any one of those. Well thankfully Mike and Pete have the 3 specific steps that will work EVERY time, or not.  Enjoy! ...

When Parents are Jealous of Other People's Kids - #107 | Dad & Buried

July 01, 2021 09:00 - 56 minutes - 52.6 MB

Every kid has their own unique gift, right? So why do we parents see someone else's kid doing something awesome like a backflip or talking nicely to their parents and immediately think why the hell can't my kid do that?! Yeah, ok my kid's "gift" is that they are an  incredibly generous, giving spirit, but I'm talking BACKFLIP people, c'umon! Mike and Pete get into it. Enjoy!

As Parents Are We Overcorrecting? - #106

June 17, 2021 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MB

Participation trophies were originally used as a way to incentivise kids at a key point (when they are young) to want to keep playing that sport rather than quit after one season. However, now the absence of any merit based trophies means none of our kids are really incentivized to win. In some cases we let our kids off the hook if they don't want to show up for team practice. To Pete it's all gone too far. To Mike it hasn't gone far enough and wants all sports canceled. It's a cracker. Enjo...

Don't Expect Anything When You're Expecting: Things Parents Wish They Knew Before Kids - #97

April 09, 2021 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

Look, it’s not possible to prepare for a kid. Period. Oh, so you "kinda get it" cause you "look after" your "nieces" and "nephews"? That's some low-rent, pitiful, pre-baby thinking right there. Babies are like a box of chocolates; you never know how you got them. Another chocolate/baby difference is instead of eating them you have to FEED them. That’s a big one. So to sum up, don’t eat babies, you can't bank sleep, your kid may do crack cocaine, but if you can watch the movie Terminator with...
