A big episode here, we have a name, and we are tackling the big topics..not by design!

In this episode, we cover burping, our dads being dads, what age should kids remember their own shoes, swearing in front of kids and much more!

Moogy drops out halfway through the call with his ‘reliable’ phone and Pat shares a beautiful story and insight about his relationship with his late mum and the connections he hopes to make with his daughter Harri through his mum’s values. He demonstrates precisely why we want to do this show and demonstrates vulnerability at its core. We love it, and we love him for it!

Episodes will come out occasionally between nappies, sleep deprivation, family time and of course, surfing!
