  • Everyday Life 85 - Vacation life

    It’s a slightly shorter Everyday Life this week, and our only episode of the week, because Sean is away in Wales with the family — but apparently even going on holiday isn’t enough to escape podcast duties!

    Sean managed to squeeze in a bit of time to jump on with Nick and give us the full update on how Lyndsey’s surprise 40th party went, whether all that planning actually paid off, and what the family have been getting up to so far on their Welsh getaway.

    Nick brings us up to speed with what he’s been playing recently and how the kiddos have taken to heading back to school and getting themselves back into the routine.

    And then, in perfect Dad Crossing fashion, Sean’s power went out mid-recording and he simply vanished from the podcast. 😂

    So Nick was left holding the fort and keeping things going until the Welsh electricity supply decided whether Sean was allowed back.

    A shorter one, a slightly more chaotic one, but still plenty of catching up from both sides of the Atlantic.

    Come hang out with us for Everyday Life Episode 85!

  • Everyday Life 84 - Ketchup Life

    We’re back with another Everyday Life episode, and after a couple of slightly different weeks it feels like there’s a lot to catch up on.

    Last time we properly checked in, Nick was mentally preparing himself for camp while Sean was winding down and getting ready for a very busy few weeks of holidays, birthdays and trying to keep surprises… well, actually surprising.

    So how did it all go?

    Nick finally gets to report back from camp, while Sean has been deep in full-on dad and husband mode with Lyndsey’s 40th celebrations, surprise planning and the usual last-minute chaos that somehow comes with trying to organise something nice.

    Throw in gaming, gym updates, kids, questionable decisions and all the other random conversations that somehow become part of an Everyday Life episode, and we’ve got plenty to get through.

    No big topic. No real plan.

    Just two dads catching up on life, taking the piss out of each other and inevitably disappearing down several completely unrelated rabbit holes along the way.

    It’s good to be back.

  • Episode 83 — Daddy-Daughter Special with Nick & Ariel

    This week’s episode is another Daddy-Daughter special, and this time Nick is joined by his daughter, Ariel!

    Get ready for a wholesome, funny, and slightly chaotic chat as we find out what happens when father and daughter take over the microphones together. We talk about who is actually funnier, what on earth is meant by “infinite bodies”, and plenty more brilliant moments that only make sense when you hear them unfold.

    It’s one of those episodes that reminds you how special the dad-and-kid bond can be — full of little jokes, unexpected answers, genuine laughs, and that lovely feeling of listening to two best friends who just happen to be father and daughter.

    So come hang out with Nick and Ariel for a fun, warm, and properly wholesome Dad Crossing episode.

  • Dad Life 82-2 — Things Dads Take Weirdly Seriously

    This week on Dad Life, we’re talking about the completely normal, totally reasonable things dads take far too seriously.

    You know the ones:

    🌱 Getting the lawn stripes perfectly straight

    🍽️ Loading the dishwasher the correct way
    🔥 Maintaining the ideal BBQ temperature
    🚗 Parking with surgical precision
    🌡️ Protecting the thermostat from unnecessary interference
    🔌 Coiling an extension lead without creating a tangled monstrosity

    Why do these things matter so much? Why does watching someone load a dishwasher badly raise our blood pressure? And why does every dad believe their method is the only method worth using?

    Unfortunately, we had to cut the episode slightly short when Sean’s boy emerged from his bedroom and redecorated the hallway with the contents of his stomach — because nothing brings a podcast recording to an end quite like sudden dad duty.

    That also explains why this episode has arrived a little later than planned. Our apologies, but as always, family comes first.

    So straighten those lawn stripes, check the thermostat, and come laugh along as we unpack the strangely serious world of dad habits.

  • Everyday Life 82-1 — Camp Countdown, Holiday Mode & One Last Gaming Session

    This week on Everyday Life, Nick and Sean catch up on everything that’s been going on over the last seven days as they both prepare for very different kinds of chaos.

    Nick is mentally getting himself ready for camp next week, which means plenty of planning, organising, and trying to convince himself he’s fully prepared for whatever is about to be thrown his way.

    Meanwhile, Sean is starting to wind down ahead of a surprise holiday, while also attempting to squeeze in as much gym time and gaming as humanly possible before switching into full holiday mode.

    It’s another relaxed catch-up filled with life updates, dad chat, gaming, fitness, and the usual tangents that somehow take us miles away from where we started.

    So grab a brew, get comfortable, and come hang out with us before next week’s chaos begins.

  • Dad Life 81-2 — When Did Our Kids Become People?!

    That’s right — we actually managed it… a double episode week!

    This week on Dad Life, we’re talking about that strange parenting moment when you suddenly realise your kids aren’t just little kids anymore.

    They’ve got proper opinions.

    Their own sense of humour.
    Music tastes you may or may not approve of.
    Strong views on the world.
    And worst of all… arguments that are sometimes annoyingly logical.

    We chat about those little moments that make you stop and think, “Hang on… when did you become an actual person?”

    From having real conversations instead of one-word answers, to watching their personalities develop, seeing their confidence grow, and realising they’re starting to make choices completely independent of you — it’s equal parts amazing, hilarious, and slightly terrifying.

    There’s pride in seeing them grow, but also that bittersweet feeling of missing the tiny version of them that needed you for absolutely everything.

    So come get all warm and fuzzy with us as we share the moments where our babies suddenly started becoming proper little humans — and somehow, far too quickly, all grown up.

  • Everyday Life 81-1 — Football Heartbreak, Healing & The Dad Crossing Lifting Club

    This week on Everyday Life, we’re back catching up on another busy week of dad life, gaming, work, and everything in between.

    We kick things off by talking about England’s World Cup journey, the disappointment of defeat, and ultimately finishing in 3rd place. It might not have ended exactly how we wanted, but there’s still plenty to be proud of!

    Nick gives us an update on his healing and recovery journey, while Sean proceeds to absolutely thrill everybody with fascinating tales of… working hard all week. Riveting podcast content, we know.

    BUT — Sean does actually have some pretty exciting news!

    Dad Crossing has officially teamed up with Power Fitness UK! 💪

  • Everyday Life Episode 80 — Surgery Stories, Theatre Camp & an England Win

    This week’s episode is another one-off, as real life once again had absolutely no respect for our usual schedule.

    Nick’s surgery and recovery, theatre camp for the kiddos, and the show they performed meant things were already fairly hectic. Then Sean added to the chaos by taking his eldest to the pub to watch England take on Norway — and thankfully, they got the win!

    But being short on time certainly didn’t leave us short on things to talk about.

    Nick fills us in on all his antics from before and after surgery, while Sean shares what he got up to during his final free weekend before the UK school holidays begin. We also find time to chat about the games we’re looking forward to playing soon, alongside the usual tangents, laughs, and everyday dad-life chaos.

    So grab a drink, get comfortable, and come hang out with us for another full-length catch-up.

  • Everyday Life Episode 79 — Info Dumps, July 4th & Sending Love to Nick

    This week’s episode is another one of those longer catch-ups — because life got in the way, as it so often does.

    We missed last week while Sean celebrated his eldest turning 20 (how is that even possible?!), and then our schedules decided they had absolutely no interest in lining up. So after some July 4th fun, a busy week of fixing things for Nick, and Sean doing his usual running around helping everyone he can, we finally sat down and just… info dumped.

    It’s one of those classic Everyday Life episodes where there’s no big plan, no major structure, just two dads catching up on everything that’s been happening and trying to make sense of another hectic couple of weeks.

    By the time you’re listening, Nick could potentially be undergoing surgery, so please take a moment to keep him in your thoughts. We love you, man. ❤️

    So pull up a chair, make yourself an Earl Grey, and settle in for a long, relaxed catch-up with your two favourite average joes.

  • Dad Life – Episode 78-1 | The Dad Skill Tree

    If fatherhood was an RPG, what skills have you unlocked along the way?

    In this episode, Sean and Nick dive into the unofficial Dad Skill Tree and compare the abilities they’ve picked up over the years. From carrying every shopping bag in a single trip to developing an almost supernatural ability to spot a lie before it’s even finished, some skills are earned… and some are simply unlocked through years of sleep deprivation.

    Skill Tree Highlights:

    • 
🎒 Level 1: Carrying three bags of shopping in one trip.

    • 🕵️ Level 10: Detecting lies instantly.

    • 😴 Level 25: Falling asleep in under 30 seconds.

    • 🔧 Level 50: Fixing things simply by staring at them.
    • Along the way, we invent plenty more dad abilities, share the stories behind how we unlocked them, and decide which legendary perks every dad should be aiming for.

      So, what level are you? Grab a brew, get comfy, and join us as we level up the ultimate Dad Skill Tree.
