Featured guests:
Special guests Derryck Green and Stacy M. Swimp to talk “Current Events.”
Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.”
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, How to Embarrass Your Kids and, more likely, current events in the world since so MUCH is going on, like the goings on in Egypt!
It’s the eternal debate. Cats vs. dogs. Are you a cat or a dog person? Sort of like are you are you a Beatles or a Stones person. Let’s have a catfight – or dogfight, if you prefer, this Sunday at #PetRap at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET. I expect some PASSION and some persuasive arguments on both sides. I’ll declare now that I am DEFINITELY a dog dude!
So, this is our first Movie Trivia Contest. I’ll be doing it on an irregular basis. I hope it’s fun for you. I love old movies so mostly we’ll focus on older, classic films. The first ten correct answers will win a PDF copy of either of my books – cover images are below. I’m asking for the Honor System and asking that you not use Google to find the answer. Beyond the correct answer, the ten winners will be determined by what interesting facts about this particular movie they share.
I used to comment on various blogs ALL the time. It was an indispensible part of growing my Social Media presence. For a variety of reasons, my commenting has slowed down to a trickle. I still advocate the value of commenting in tweets, on #blogchat (where I’m a regular participant), my own #DadChat, and in columns and even when I speak at conferences. So, why have I slowed down so significantly?
Last week’s Because I Said So looked at The Generation Gap from “Dad’s” point-of-view. This week we see it from “Son’s” point-of-view with the art of multitasking. It’s only fair!

Featured guests:
Pastor Drew Sams for “Spiritual Talk.”
Bob and Suzanne McCullough talking Hollywood, Marriage, and DOMA. Bob’s very cool website – click HERE.
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Men vs. Women: Summer Vacations, but will be veering in other directions!
Teaching our kids empathy is this Thursday’s #DadChat topic on June 27 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. EVERY parent knows that our kids tend to see the world through one view – their own. Then they become teenagers and ONLY see it ALL from a self-centered POV. How do we parents teach them to care about others, the world at large, and away from their own immediate needs and wants? That is what we’ll discuss with co-host Marie Roker-Jones this week.
Ahhh, the generation gap. It always strikes when we least expect it. And, this new Because I Said So comic strip – number 87 – hits it right on with a reference from “Dad” that “Son” doesn’t get. The Generation Gap strikes again!
