A quick message from Dad Scraps...

Hey scrappers, before everything went haywire with COVID-19, we had recorded a regular ol' Dad Scrap chat. We wanted to share that with you now, in hopes that maybe it'll take your mind off the current moment and remind you of the delightfully small headaches that are just around the bend. Or are they? Who knows.  We hope you all are well and safe. The recipe for this episode is from Bon Appetít: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/weeknight-pad-thai Thanks -- Matt, Mark and John --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dadscraps/message

Episode 11: Pre-Corona Throwback! Dentists, Dad-Bods and Disney

On this special episode, Matt contemplates joining a family pod, a small group of like-minded families vowing to self-isolate with one another during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current members of their own family pod, Mark and John help him weigh the decision. Plus, the guys briefly reminisce about the 2004 film, The Aviator.
