Responding to our discussion about what to call a baby shower for a dad-to-be, one listener suggests the term bro bath. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Another Name for a Dad-centric Baby Shower”
When we had our discussion before about baby showers for men,
Jennifer Acampora was listening to the podcast version of the show,
And she says,
I had to press pause during the bit about the dad baby shower
And send this email because I found myself shouting at the computer,
It’s a bro bath.
It’s a bro bath.
A dad baby shower has got to be a bro bath.
Bro bath? Yeah, as opposed to a baby shower. I have to tell you,
Too many of these suggestions sound like something that you’ll find as an
Offering in the back of alternative newspapers for a thing you can pay money
To have done to you. Like a man shower. Yeah.
It does not sound like something I want to do with my friends.
You can do it yourself, but I’m not going to be involved in that.
I don’t know. Kind of like bro bath. Bro bath. But why the word bath?
Because it’s got the B?
A lot of people suggested baby storm
As opposed to a shower
Because it’s somehow more macho.
Masculine.
But I kind of like bro bath.
Because you wouldn’t do a baby misting for, right?
Baby fog.
