Better off Dad

Whilst Shannon has fled the country due to tax fraud (*allegedly) and James remains on a podcast vow of silence, Nathan is left to hold the fort.
Luckily he is joined by Tasmanian Young Australian Of The Year, Speak up Stay ChatTY founder and proud dad Mitch McPherson. They discuss a range of topics from mental health, parenting, work/life balance and Mitch produces arguably the best dad hack of the year. 
Mitch has a story that we need to hear and most importantly, we need to learn from. He is a ripping bloke who shares with us his dad life experiences so far,  in an honest and compelling episode.

A kid from Georgetown Tasmania, captaining his country in junior cricket and trialling with Manchester United at 15,  Brad Green went on to be an elite AFL footballer at the Melbourne Football Club.
254 Games, captaincy, a best & fairest and leading goalkicker, Brad discusses his career covering the highs and the lows. Yet this is more than just another footy story.
He is a proud dad of two boys, who went through the unimaginable tragedy of losing his wife suddenly in 2019.
Hearing Brad's story makes you feel sad, uplifted, inspired and ultimately happy. It is certainly one that needs to be heard.

The Dads return after a long hiatus.  James is back, yet not much has really changed there apart from better internet.  Shannon is selling up and saying goodbyes.  Halloween has been and gone with a few dodgy characters.  The dads discuss challenges with kids having to move away. We answer some hard hitting questions and there is the usual non helpful dad hacks.

The boys catch up with proud new Dad, teacher and fitness enthusiast Alex Baldock to discuss life and how it has changed in the past month.  Alex describes his experiences becoming a dad including the joys, challenges and everything else that comes with it.  James makes a cameo appearance when his dial up modem kicks in and Shannon gets a bit awkward in parts.
A must listen for any expecting or new dad.  It is also an episode which will likely trigger some fond memories for the more seasoned parents.

Richmond Football club CEO Brendon Gale joins the dads for a conversation about dad life in lockdown, life lessons from a football club environment, positive mental health, self care and Nick Cave.

The dads are in the same room recording for the first time. James has had cat issues .  Liam the work experience kid has landed a new job so he can earn above award wages. What the boys got up to grand final day and what Shannon shamefully did to Jen.  Oh and Luca has a new Mrs.

2/3 of the Dads are in the shed and they sound like it. How to get your kids out of furniture when they get stuck and other useless information.  Hear how life has changed now the twins are 15 month old.  How is Shannon's dad bod progressing and why is he not allowed to watch the grand final?  What the Dads did on Fathers day, as well as the usual lame dad hacks and even worse dad jokes.  If you are looking for the Tim Paine interview, this one probably isn't for you.

The Dads welcome James back from a soft injury.  Find out why he has a lot of money yet no private health insurance.  Shannon exploits young workers and the lads discuss the health risks associated with living at doctors rocks.  Some new sponsors are shamelessly promoted and there is a dad joke that is again, pretty average. If this does not make you want to download, what will.

Former Newcastle Knights captain, NSW State of origin captain and NRL legend Kurt Gidley joins the boys to discuss dad life and the joys and challenges that come with it.  We discuss Kurt's journey and what he has learnt along the way.  The usual bad jokes are here, but we openly talk about mental and physical health and how we can incorporate that into every day dad life.

What is Shannon's big news that has the other boys excited?  The dad's discuss their own dads.  Why is Shannon's father in law so happy with himself?  James has new ink.  Nathan has a crappy intro.  Mr Tickles is in big trouble.
