Disney World Disasters & Baby's First Flight: Gen X Fatherhood Advice: Episode 34 Part 1

Welcome back to Gray Hair & Daycare, the parenting podcast for dads who remember life before the internet but are now navigating life with a Gen Beta baby. In this episode, Frank and Carlo prove that raising kids at a combined age of 111 is mostly about survival, humor in life, and very sore knees. Frank dives into "what just happened," detailing a high-stakes dress rehearsal for dad life: Baby Josie's first flight and a whirlwind trip to Disney's Magic Kingdom. From "North Side Leans" in stroller parking to the exhaustion of carrying a 16-pound person through Orlando's humidity, this is the raw fatherhood advice you didn't know you needed. Whether you're looking for parenting comedy, baby advice on air pressure ear-popping, or just some solid dad humor about a dog named Watson peeing on the Christmas tree, we've got it all. We also touch on the "I Was Wrong" segment, where Frank admits he might have actually been a decent dad in his younger years—even if Chris from third grade is the only one who thinks so. Tune in for relatable parent advice, fatherhood tips for the "Older and Wiser" crowd, and a look at why parenting today involves 17 meetings for a school move while our Gen X parents just told us "good luck in Zimbabwe".
