This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the differences in planning vacations with younger vs older kids. Are cruises really the way to go when it comes to vacation destinations? Kyle just got back from a cruise with the family and he recounts the good, the bad, and the ugly of a weeklong family trip. Tune in to find out which popular bourbon actually kinda sucked in a blind taste test, what "Launching Torpedoes" is code for, and how to pass the time during long flight delays (spoilers, it's reading). As always, thanks for listening!

This week, the guys recap a great Father's Day weekend which included donuts, beer, waffle house, but barely any extra sleep! Kyle recaps some wild golf trip stories about a pterodactyl attack which only grew in the telling. Robert and Kyle also pass on a bit of fatherly wisdom from their dads on the importance of being grateful for what you have and the value of sportsmanship in everyday life. Finally, the guys discuss a fun filled afternoon with Slip N Slide shenanigans, overworked Amazon drivers, and some hilarious stories about making a mess in the mud. Also - if you have any suggestions for Kyle's 1000th book, send them to DeepHopics@gmail.com. As always, thanks for listening!

Just in time for the 4th of July, Kyle and Robert grab their hoppy beers and breakdown the 1972 horror movie Frogs. The movie stars a mustache-less Sam Elliott as an ecological photographer and it only gets weirder from there. The local wildlife seem intent on getting revenge against a patriarchal millionaire and his family who are vacationing at the island. The island is filled with dangers including snakes, spiders, alligators, geckos, komodo dragons, sentient vines, and Toads (but for some inexplicable reason, no Frogs). Were the amphibious assassins calling the shots all along? Or were these rich dummies just really bad at staying alive? Tune in this week to find out! As always, thanks for listening!

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!
