Everybody Poops - Episode 53
You ever changed a poopy diaper? You ever changed a poopy diaper 1500-2000 times? Man it gets OLD. But when it comes time to start potty training it's not like you just throw away those diapers and say "here's the toilet" (well for most of us it doesn't happen that way). On this weeks episode the dads are talking about potty training. We'll go through a brief, somewhat confusing, timeline of the history of potty training, talk about how the age of potty training has shifted to later in a child's life, and discuss some of the general DO's and DON'Ts of potty training. So pull up a seat on the toilet and enjoy this weeks episode of the Raising Nashville Podcast.
That One Global Pandemic Movie - Episode 52
In a world where everyone is stuck at home, three dads decide to watch a movie about a global pandemic, but then they realize that movie cost $4.99 on Amazon, so they open up Netflix and decide to watch that OTHER global pandemic movie. Will they make it through the movie? Will Bucky figure out who that security guard is? Does Oldboy really think Cuba was flying that helicopter? Will we say the name Patrick Dempsey more or less than 25 times?
Stay Home, Listen to Podcasts - Episode 51

Gettin' Crunk Like A Mutha - Episode 50
A few weeks back the dads got together to record something special for their 50th episode.

Panic At The Costco - Episode 49
This wasn't the episode we planned on putting out. But a lot of things changed last Wednesday, and the Coronavirus, AKA COVID-19, became front and center in everyone's mind (although it probably already should have been). We're diving into the timeline of the spread of this virus. From when the first case was reported on December 31, up to where we are today, (well Sunday). We talk about the cascade of cancellations and closures and the effects they have on working parents. Then, when things are at their heaviest, Bucky hits us with a Paul Walker conspiracy that leaves us all speechless.

Transportainment - Episode 35
Pedal Taverns, a limo decked out to look like a boat, a tractor pulling a trailer, a bus with a hot tub. Chances are, if you've been to downtown Nashville, or any other tourist trap, you've seen at least one of these slow moving vehicles, usually with drunk people hanging off yelling "Wooooo" at the top of their lungs. This week we're discussing the "Transportainment" movement in Nashville. We'll go through a list of all the Transportainment vehicles currently operating in our city, and come up with some of our own. We also flew friend of the show, Shane LaRue, in from L.A. just to make him go downtown and experience a few of these slow moving, binge drinkeries and report back to us, because we sure as hell weren't going to do it.
You Don't Want To Do This - Episode 34
A few weeks back, before we sat down to record our Hot Chicken episode, Bucky came rolling in, fired up about some "Haunted House" called McKamey Manor. He proceeded to describe to Juicebox and Old Boy, in detail, the history of this "Haunt" and it's owner/proprietor Russ McKamey. After 45 minutes of Bucky trying to convince us that he could make it through the Haunted House that no one has made it through Juicebox finally got fed up, yelling "Shut up about this stupid torture house!" Fast forward three weeks and here we are talking about it on a podcast, much to Juicebox's displeasure. We'll dive into some of the things that could happen to you if you decide to attempt the Manor (spoiler, it's torture), speculate on what the real point of all of this is and ponder what type of person would want to attempt this (Bucky). Enjoy?
