Daddy Dogpile
Well, I’m going to miss an episode today. My wife busted her foot (I mean literally, she broke her foot). She has needed to be down and between playing with mah beh-behs and keeping this house from ker-sploding, my tiredness is brinking into the unhealthy.
So, after I played several games including Daddy Dogpile with the kids and in hopes that I will not pass out at the wheel on my way to work tomorrow, I’m going to leave you with the previous 239 episodes you can choose from. Enjoy and we will see you this Friday for The Real Family Guys Podcast.
You can click HERE to go to our Search for a Topic page, click “Ctrl F” or “Command F” on a Mac and search for any topic you want to listen to. Likely, I’ll have an episode on it, and if not, shoot me a topic suggestion. BOOM BABY!
