Adrian curses a lot through this show, so be warned. Should random Irish companies have sleep pods? Probably not but the Dads waste a good five minutes on it anyway, remember the times you could just have random chats? This is freeform, almost jazz-like parenting. Sibling rivalry, sleep deprivation and loads more. Email us on [email protected]

It turns out whenever you have a miscarriage a load of people you know will tell you they've had one too. It's like a shitty secret club you don't really want to be in, but once you're there you're glad the room is full. Nathan and Ger talk about their personal experiences and how different it can be for the Dads and Mas (is the plural of Ma really Mas?). 

They also talk this week about the bits of advice they wished they'd got earlier - have your kids young and book your holidays in October/November. Plus there's a ringing endorsement for a particular family hotel in Gorey from Ger! (It's Amber Springs).

This week's guest is Peter Cosgrove, author of Family Fun Unplugged. His new book is packed full of puzzles, tricks and riddles to keep families talking instead of screen-timing. The chat is wide-ranging and touches on when's good to get your kids a phone, the dangers inherent in it and how to navigate the choppy transition from kid to teenager.

In Part 2 Nathan also reveals why he's been controversially snubbed by the school PTA after an attempted carve-up went wrong. 

Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.  

The book is for sale now in all good book shops.

Dave, Nathan and Adrian are in studio to chew the fat about nights out, lack of sleep, going back to the start and revealing the family secrets. One take is that no matter what we say it's nothing on what our kids are saying in school.

McIntyre has come prepared this week and he has lots of questions which we delve into in the 39th version of Dadcast...

Kevin Kilbane's dog piractically takes over the entire show which ultimately leads to Kev promising he'll do a full episode some day with us. We'll see if that actually happens, bit like his Ireland career, we live in hope, eh?? REVIEW THIS SHOW ON ITUNES PLEASE - JUST CLICK HERE

The Dads are back in studio, in captivity, Adrian refuses to let us talk about the Picnic. Dave's snip deadline comes up in his absence and there's more talk of the dangers of the snip...

Paul Howard joins Dave, Adrian and Ger in studio to talk about being the parent of one of Ireland's most dysfunctional yet beloved families.

The first-ever Dadcast on the road is potentially the last one we'll ever be allowed to do. Dave makes a promise to a bunch of strangers that his wife has been asking him for years; Ger + Nathan reveal too much about recent trips to the pharmacy; Adrian tops the pregnancy snoring revelation. No really.

Do you lose your bottle when you become a dad? Probably, but does it come back and when? Does it matter? Dave has help with the soother removal and Adrian is giving up current affairs...
