World’s Best Dad — Ep. 11 — Christian Jacobs and Jimmy Arrighi bring in the legendary Steve Caballero this week. Once the duo stop praising Cab for his influence in their lives, namely the time he (didn’t actually) beat Christian Hosoi in a high air contest featured in Thrasher Magazine they begin to discuss fatherhood, their skating children, Steve’s band The Faction, The Bones Brigade and toy collecting. The most poignant points brought up in the punk/parenting pod were Caballero being a child of divorce and how that influences his ability to co-parent today.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
