We have some very special guests, Dave Reggina and Mike Parelli from the No Snooze Podcast came down to Hilton Head to join us. If you haven’t heard of the No Snooze podcast, Mike and Dave talk about life, business, motivation, and now as new dads, parenting from their perspective. Beav also did an episode of their podcast, so go check that our HERE. If you value time, or are looking for ways to have more time (really, who isn’t) This is an episode to listen too. Time management is an incredible asset to posses. It's much easier to talk about than it is to actually execute on. Beav gives some great insight on how his time management has changed and evolved, especially now with a 3rd baby girl. The guys get deep on starting, and running different businesses, looking forward even after job promotions or awards, and how and why they keep moving forward. Much of this is from how they were parented and the experiences they had growing up, even in very different situations, but the end results become the same. Hard work and motivation can’t always be taught, but it can be passed down. Hear about all of this and more on this weeks episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

No Snooze Dads

Baby Hannah’s first appearance on the podcast, and she sat through it like a champ! Brandy and Beav discuss the first 5 weeks with a newborn, adapting schedules, figuring out what Hannah likes and especially what she doesn’t like, sound machines, swaddles, night lights, pacifiers, you name it…. Also, they get into how the older sisters are reacting to the new baby, and how that has changed Beav and Brandy’s day to day interactions with all 3. The older girls are definitely Daddy’s Girls. Do you think Hannah will follow the trend? Beav has a pretty solid opinion.  Does a baby with more hair cause mom heart burn? Could be an old wives tale, but hear what Brandy has to say now that Hannah was born with a thick set of locks.  p.s. is "love" a tennis term?? All of this and a ton more on this episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast. 

First 5 weeks with a newborn. Brandy and Baby Hannah

Beav and Brandy had baby #3, Hannah May 27th. Alex is back to talk to Beav about the hospital delivery experience, and what it’s like 7 years later since the last kid. Why they did labor induction, what its like for a Dad in a delivery room, and how you as a dad SHOULD act. Beav has some strong opinions on that last one. In the first week, challenges have already risen as Beav and Brandy take their newborn to the hospital daily for check ups and bilirubin level checks. This go-around has already been different, especially on the home front with two girls at home. The sibling jealousy is real… Alex give us an update on his oldest son that just had his cast taken off from breaking his arm. Speaking of arms, there is a really sensitive subject for Alex with clothing and sleeves. You don’t want to miss that! All of this and a ton more on this weeks episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

Baby Hannah has arrived

This week we have a special guest, the world famous YouTuber, Alex Mazhukhin, better known as Mr. Build It. Alex is a father of 2 boys and an 11 month old baby girl. About 7 years ago, Alex’s wife was wanting some upgrades to their first house, but as a young couple they couldn’t afford to have things built for them. Enter the beginning of Mr. Build it, where Alex was doing home improvement projects in blog form and on Pinterest. With a small following building, the Mr. Built It YouTube channel was created and as they say, the rest is history. Balancing content creation full time and 3 kids has been the trickiest job Alex has come across yet. Hear how he goes from Dad in the mornings, to YouTube star mid day, back into Dad mode when he has to pick up the kids and gets them dinner and to bed in the evenings. All of this and a ton more on this weeks episode of The Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

Welp, we knew this day was going to come, but it’s hard to believe the time has already come. Brandy is 36 weeks pregnant, and won’t be joining us again. At least not until several weeks after the baby is born. Get the scoop on what the last 36 weeks have been like and how number 3 is vastly different than her first 2 pregnancies. From first trimester struggles, the second trimester bliss, and now the third trimester misery. What was the biggest difference? And what do the final weeks have to bring? All of this and more on this weeks episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

Brandy's Last Episode / 36 Week Preggo Update

On the number one rated podcast (according to us) detective Beav is on the case after he finds a piece of paper with certain bad works written on it on the kitchen floor. Alex has his own battles at home with “potty” words as they try to potty train the boys in-between Sweet Home Alabama jam sessions…..yeah.  On a more serious note, a little one has a trip to the ER Saturday night after an accident jumping off the couch. A lot of great points as the guys talk thru the mindset of dealing with an emergency at night with a child.  We end on a high note with some pretty interesting stories from Beav’s camping trip with 9 people and a 7 month pregnant wife. Raccoon invasions, bored kids, and car alarms made for a trip they won’t soon forget.  All of this and a ton more on the Tactical Baby Gear® Podcast.

Poop knife, a broken arm and a camping trip

Alex is back … and he has a parenting failure to confess. Beav gets a concerning message from a teacher and may be drowning his concerns in tacos. Or maybe that’s just his normal amount of taco consumption. Meanwhile, Alex is still dealing with The Great Bathroom Flood of 2021. And because we can’t go a single episode without some sort of poop story, there’s one of those too. And with Brandy’s due date almost here (early June!) Beav is shopping for all the baby gear and reminiscing about when Cameron and Kendall were babies. Also discussed in this episode: With Siri calling out direction, will kids even know how to read a map when they go up? Does anybody memorize phone numbers anymore? Is there a better way to teach our kids that emphasizes real-world application? Catch it on this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

Dont Check the Costco Bill

Wind em up and watch em go. Alex and Beav sit down and have A LOT to say. Alex catches us up to date on the situation at his house. (It’s a mess.) But shout out to his childhood chemistry class that definitely saved his life while he was mixing cleaning chemicals to kill some mold. Meanwhile, Beav is planning a family camping trip with his wife Brandy who is 7+ months pregnant. There’s talk of turd nuggets, peeing in the bathtub, a dog on the loose and a crawling baby. You never know what’s gonna come out when these two sit down, and today is no different. Only one place to hear it all! Catch it on this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

Those are my turd nuggets

Brandy Has Some Opinions

Alex is having a time of it. Beav is bracing for life as parent to a newborn and a pre-teen. This ?is getting real. Literally. Alex digs out his septic tanks and rips up brand new flooring (again) while trying to figure out why he’s allergic to everything, and Beav celebrates the fact his oldest can now cook herself breakfast and wonders if that means she can raise the baby.

Everything Went Downhill

https://getsaltybritches.com/ Amy Tucker was desperate. Faced with a problem that was ruining family vacations and reducing her son to tears, she got busy. The solution she found would, four years later, lead her and her husband to sell their house, move to a rural cabin, and risk everything on a start-up with no guarantee of success. In just a few years, Amy’s journey has led her places she never could have imagined, including helping other moms just like herself, endurance athletes, and even US Military special forces. Hear it all on this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

Matt Overton has spent most of his professional life with his head between his legs. That’s kind of the job description for an NFL long snapper. But an 8-year NFL career, including a 2013 Pro Bowl selection, didn’t come easy. From failing to make a highly competitive youth football team at just 7 years old to his first NFL training camp experience lasting all of 3 days, Matt has fought for this every step of the way. Now newly married (to Breanna, a former Colts cheerleader he swears was the one chasing him) with his first child on the way, he talks with Beav about looking forward to fatherhood, what’s next in his career, and the type of legacy he wants to leave. Hear it all on this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

It survived countless road trips, camping adventures, Little League games, and fishing excursions. And it did not look pretty. You might even say it looked SHITI. Self-described “below average outdoorsman” Trevor Zacny first noticed the luxury cooler trend in 2016. Struck by the lack of character in these new brands, Trevor wanted to celebrate cheap AF coolers that have a story and family history behind them. And so SHITI coolers was born. Hear how a dad joke and a day off work launched an entire business on this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

Ep. 055 - Talk Shiti To Me // Trevor from SHITI Coolers

This might be the most personal story we’ve ever shared. We’ve never shied away from the realities of life, but Alex never thought he would be telling everyone about this on the podcast. After Alex shares about his recent experience, he and Beav re-examine the importance of Tactical Baby Gear’s® roots, and how 2020 has shown that our mission is more important than ever. This year especially, a little empathy (and maybe some Valium), will go a long way. Hear all about Alex’s story and the impact this year has had on he and Beav in this week’s episode of the Tactical Baby Gear® podcast!

Ep. 054 - 2020: Everyone Needs a Valium

On this show we have conversations about life and parenting with some of the most interesting people we can find.
