KD is back this month to pit steel against stone as the Shaolin Monks take on the Maori. Are there multiple Hakas? Yes. Is everything basically a club? Yes. Is someone oddly racist at a computer at the very end? You bet your ass.

Journalist and returning guest Jasper Craven recently went through security guard training and six months of employment to write about the experience. It's a mix of bad training, worse instructors, and a lot of people just trying to get a job. You can read his reporting here in Harpers Magazine

Stickers, patches, pins, and apparel. Have you ever wanted to wear a hat with the opening scroll of Master and Commander on it? Maybe a mashup of Jurassic Park and Starship Troopers. All this and more coming at What a Hell of a Way to Dad

We discuss the news up to September 20th. Any news happening after that we cannot be accountable for. This week, it's the first piece of "history" gun guys go for (because they're dirt cheap), the SKS. We also talk about the North Carolina governor race and a bailiff getting a little wild in the judges chambers.

This is a preview episode of one of our many monthly bonus episodes. You can access this and more at the $5 level of Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/Hellofawaytodie

It’s another DadChat featuring Nate and Francis, and in this week’s episode we’re talking all sorts of things: relocation expenses, pre-positioning supplies when changing babies, and the surprisingly varied ways in which people make coffee on the eastern side of the Atlantic. Which is to say, Francis has never actually had someone explain to him what espresso actually is. We also answer a lot of Ask A Dad questions!

This week Francis and Carey watch two more episodes of MASH. We are nearly done with Season 2, and the characters really start to come out. Klinger is better dressed, Radar is getting some (theoretically), and Hawkeye's eyes have never been so blue.

For this week’s DadChat, we have a special guest: Jack Forman, who’s been on before and who is now helping produce the show while Nate navigates the alpine labyrinth of Swiss bureaucracy. And in this episode, Jack discusses his experience as a former elementary school teacher, and what the oft-discussed ‘back to school’ period is like for teachers and school staff. We very much hope you enjoy it!

Jack is a highly accomplished musician making music for kids, and he’s got a Patreon! Check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/jackforman

Francis has missed his train, or at least one of them, and Nate took a train to enjoy the air conditioning in the middle of a European heat wave. We discuss the travails of being an Amtrak passenger, the experience of riding in the jungle gym car on CFF trains, and much more.

Nate’s finally moved to yet another country even further from Indiana, and for this week’s episode he and Francis discuss the travails of being the single member of your family who speaks the language of the country you’re in, the inevitability of your kids making fun of you for speaking that language badly, and much more.
