So, you're gonna be a father. You know you need to buy a bigger house. You need more room for the child. You need more than a one-bedroom apartment. You must have a new crib¿you can't use the one your neighbor said you could borrow. And you know you gotta replace your car. It must have six airbags at least. It must come with an AC straight from the manufacturer. What comedian Marcos Piangers found out when he became a young parent is that all these concerns don't make any difference. It's not worth it to pay for the best daycare, if you're the last one picking up your child. It isn't about buying the most expensive gifts, because children really like playing games that are available for free. What the entertaining and emotional stories in Dad's Cool show us is that, deep down, you only need to be there¿not physically there while thinking about something else, but REALLY there.

Marcos Piangers has been working with youth-targeted communication and digital platforms at the largest media group in southern Brazil since 2001. He was born in Florianópolis and moved to Porto Alegre in 2006, where he joined "Pretinho Básico" [Black Cocktail Dress], a radio show that is hit with the audience and winner of iTunes Best of 2014. His internet videos have more than 30 million views. He taught classes on humor and creative thinking. But there's no way better to describe him than saying that he's Anita and Aurora's dad. His plan is to have a daughter every seven years, until his first granddaughter is born, but his wife and daughters are against it.
