Great interview! Jeremy, you have a lot of great ideas that really keeps your site fresh...Spotlight on Dads is really cool.

Joeprah, sorry I'm a little late in commenting....Mother's Day put me behind a bit. Anyway, I'll be stopping by your site frequently. Good stuff!

All Hail Joeprah! Or at least give him a well-deserved high five. I think all of the dad bloggers I know owe at least part of their success and/or recognition to him. He is tireless in helping us get recognized for what we do (playing dad and blogging). And I had to crack up at "keeping a straight face when disciplining." HOW TRUE.

Thanks Jason for checking out my interview. I hope your wife gets the girl she wants. Happy Mother's Day to her BTW.

Another excellent Spotlight. Joeprah is awesome and now I know much more about him. Although, my wife is really jealous of his house full of girls. She wants a little girl so bad. Hopefully the next one.

As usual, I look forward to reading the next Spotlight.

Nuke Dad is right, I am amazing. He is correct to emulate me, but the scary part is he is way smarter and probably even funnier. :D

Thanks James! I hope to see you around the house of Joeprah. I really think that is first time someone said I have life. :D

Joe's actually holding out on us. He's a closet billionaire who owns a yacht. or two. I have the pictures to prove it. Think Thurston Howell The 3rd from "Gilligan's Island". Seriously, though, Joeprah's blog is one ot the first ones I found when I started blogging, and one that I wanted to emulate. There is something to be said about someone who can make poingnant observations while making you laugh at the same time. Joeprah does it daily. Keep up the great work, my friend!

Great interview Joe, and kudos to you once again Jeremy. Here is another great dad blog that I have not been to before. This series has exposed me to several dad blogging brethern. Seems like Joe is one of the fist interviews who actually has a guy life outside the house though. Say it aint so, Joe! I really need to get out more.

I'd like to add to Joeprah's comment about hoping that our girls are in an even fairer world when they grow up. I have two kids, both girls, and being a Dad and in particular a SAH dad has really made me want them to be all they can be. I hold their mom as a great example, she can do it all. Got an Ivy League degree, followed by a Masters and then promplty quit to follow me around the world and raise our kids. She is extremely talented and its her turn now. I've had my day in the sun so to speak. I want to my girls to grow up to be just like her...great at raising kids and being able to support the family financially.

Momo, you too remind me of my cool playgroup moms, and like I said before, you're my hero. I really appreciate your comment here. What can I say? I love my ladies and they need respect. Also, for not having any hair experience for like 25 years I think I am doing dam good. :D

Wow, Am I a clown to you? Am I here for your amusement? Is that what you're saying? LOL, couldn't resist the Good Fellas take off. Maybe I should submit to being more open on my site...stay tuned?

XBox, thanks man! I really do try to actually write all the time, but I totally know what you are saying. Wish you lived closer so we could discuss it over a beer or twelve.

Huckdial, thanks for the props. It's funny, you remind me of some of my cool playgroup moms. They say things like, "you're a better woman than I am." or "you're so gay" which means the same thing...I hope.

I'm sure I win the "old" contest guys.

I love what Joe said about being "feminized in a way" and that it's "a good thing". You can see the respect he has for his wife and girls, and can grasp what a great Dad he is because of it. In return, his readers (I'm a daily one) have a lot of respect for him. Not really for his hair-brushing techniques, but for him as a Dad. Joeprah rocks!
