003 – Friends Mike, Ed and Denis

Humor and Heart in the Face of Life’s Challenges with friends Mike, Ed and Denis

What happens when childhood friends navigate through the maze of grief, humor, and life's chaotic moments together? Join me, Nick Gaylord, with my three close friends—Mike, Ed, and Denis—as we explore the profound impact of losing our dads and the importance of openly discussing grief and trauma. From the hilarity of technical difficulties and morning chaos to the nostalgic memories of junior high school pranks and heartfelt stories of friendship spanning 37 years, our journey is one of resilience and camaraderie.

Ever wondered how navigating career paths, dealing with parental separation, and adjusting to blended families shape one's outlook on life? Our candid conversations cover it all, from feeling like outsiders in high school to finding our footing in the adult world. We share personal anecdotes about career changes, the emotional toll of family dynamics, and the bittersweet reality of witnessing a loved one succumb to illness. Our experiences reveal the complexities of family relationships, the strength found in friendships, and the transformative power of love and perseverance.

Life is a series of unpredictable events, and our episode captures these moments with humor and honesty. Listen as we tackle topics ranging from favorite junk food and dream cars to the sudden and tragic loss of a parent. Through laughter, tears, and everything in between, "Our Dead Dads" aims to change the world, one damaged soul at a time. Join us for an emotional, insightful, and often hilarious journey through life's inevitable changes and the enduring bonds of friendship and family.
