This week, Robert couldn't say 'No' when his daughter asked to paint his nails 'Mermaid Sparkle Blue', and he was pleasantly surprised by the public reaction. As a result, Robert wanted to tell Kyle about his experience as a loud and proud Girl Dad and ask whether the concept of masculinity has changed over the years. From ancient cultures to modern times, masculinity (and femininity) has been in constant flux. We discuss Spartans and Athenians, the cultural icons of past generations, and what it is like to be Girl Dads in the modern age. Tune in for some very fun and goofy stories peppered through a chat on a normally dry and serious topic. As always, thank you for listening!

For June, Robert and Kyle continue their on-going discussion on Great Dad Topics. Our hope is to inspire other parents to model healthy behavior as they raise awesome kids. Many of these topics were drawn from a selection of e-mails received through 'The Daily Dad' mailing list, hosted by author Ryan Holiday. The Topics this week:

1) Show Them the Wow in the World

2) Now is the Time

3) It's Supposed to be Difficult

4) You'd Give it All Up for This

5) What Your Children Learn from Your Anger

6) Help Them Build the Habit

7) We Can Choose to Get Back on Track

8) Worry is Not Love

9) You Have the Perfect Teenager

As always, if you have other parenting topics worthy of discussion, please email us at DeepHopics@gmail.com with suggestions. Thanks for listening!
