Dad and Buried
121 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 months ago - ★★★★★ - 259 ratingsDad 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.

May 07, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBHow early is too early to show my toddler the original "IT"? How is my 7yr old going to appreciate great filmmaking if she doesn't watch the opening scene of "Narc"? These are VERY good questions that we, as parents, should be asking ourselves and EACH OTHER .
