Welcome to Woodstock online radio for woodworkers by woodworkers.

Now here are three guys that are actually under the illusion that woodworking is cool

Mark, Matt and Shannon.

Welcome to Wood Talk Online Number 88, and this is a very special episode because we told you

we were going on summer break and psych we're back except

Matt and I ditched Mark ha ha ha that's right do one solo without us we'll teach you buddy. That's right. So really you guys out

there in the ether may have already heard that our friend Marx-Bagnolo and his

beautiful wife Nicole are expecting a little woodworking tyke and we figure Mark and

Nicole have given us all so much it's time to give them a little bit of advice.

So Matt what words of wisdom do you have for the soon to be mom and dad?

Oh, where do we start? Now I should premise this whole thing with when Mark first broke the news to me and well I should say to us I think he did

it separately I don't remember I was having the conversation about it was afraid we

were fight over custody that was pretty much it and I'm going to be the godfather

well I am the podfather so I should be the God

father. That's true I won't fight you for that. But anyways one thing I had

promised him was I said Mark I'm going to do you a favor which nobody ever

did me and that is I'm not going to do you a favor, which nobody ever did me.

And that is, I'm not going to give you that unsolicited father advice

because nothing is worse than all these people coming up

and giving you just tons of advice. And for me me it was rather comical because by the time my first

well Aidan came along we had already had Madison for say like four years and so I already

kind of knew what I was getting into but we had all these people giving me this constant advice as if I had never been with a child before.
