This week we’ve got one longer episode for you because… well… we got carried away chatting. What started as a quick catch-up about our day-to-day turned into a relaxed one-hour episode covering a bit of everything from Everyday Life and Dad Life.

We dive into our usual mix of:

Along the way we also touch on the idea of kids getting their first job and earning a little money for themselves — something we’re planning to explore properly in a future Dad Life episode.

So this one’s a laid-back hangout.

Last week, while appreciating our amazing grandparents (thank you again — you legends), we hinted at a topic that’s been bubbling away: children and mobile phones.

This week, we tackle it head-on.

It’s not an easy one. Every child is different. Every family is different. And the “right age” isn’t a universal number — it’s a moving target based on maturity, trust, and circumstance.

We talk about:

We share our own thoughts, the grey areas, and the stuff that genuinely keeps us thinking at night.

If you’re entering that phase where “Can I have a phone?” is becoming a weekly question, come listen along. We might not have all the answers — but we might help you ask better questions and feel a little more confident in your decision.

This week’s Everyday Life episode sees Nick and Sean catching up on all the goings-on from the past week.

Nick kicks things off with a classic DoorDash story, involving collecting pizzas for church group volunteers and discovering that even something as simple as pizza pickup can turn into a full dad-side quest. 🍕😅

Meanwhile, Sean shares updates on kitchen removals and the ambitious plan to shuffle bedrooms around to make better use of the house. What could possibly go wrong when tools, walls, and timelines get involved? We’ve all seen how this movie ends.

Those are just the highlights from a week of ordinary, chaotic, occasionally heroic dadding. So grab a coffee, settle in, and come listen to all the other stories we’ve got lined up.

This week’s Dad Life episode is all about the absolute gift (and occasional chaos) of having supportive parents for us and grandparents for the kiddos.

We talk about how much it helps — from sleepovers and school pick-ups to stepping in so we can actually get some adulting done without someone asking for snacks every six minutes.

We also cover the real stuff:

But alongside the funny frustrations, we highlight the massive positives:

It’s not always perfect. Boundaries sometimes blur. But when it works, it’s a powerful thing — for us and for our kids.

So come along and listen as we unpack the beauty, the boundaries, and the biscuits that somehow always appear at Grandma’s house.

This week’s Everyday Life episode starts with what might be one of the most unexpected stories we’ve told — an egg… that got left behind. 🥚 You’ll just have to listen.

Sean then updates us on all the Goopin’ he’s been doing lately (yes, we’re still in full Arc Raiders mode), even going as far as calling Nick mid-session… while Nick was, let’s say, otherwise occupied. Hence the title: Goopin’ & Poopin’. You’re welcome.

We also catch up on how we spent Valentine’s Day, and celebrate Noah turning 12 — happy birthday, legend! 🎉

As always, expect plenty of tangents, laughs, and two dads just chatting about life, gaming, and whatever else pops into our heads.

Come hang out.

This week’s Dad Life episode tackles a topic that’s bigger than it first appears: dad friendships and isolation.

We talk about how many men struggle to make and maintain friendships once kids enter the picture — how playground small talk rarely turns into real connection, and why it often feels like mums have whole groups… while dads have a respectful nod and a mutual understanding that life is busy.

It’s a very real, very relatable conversation about:

We joke, we reflect, and we acknowledge that both things can be true at once: wanting connection and enjoying solitude. And honestly? That’s okay.

If you’ve ever felt a bit isolated, or wondered why it’s so hard to make dad friends — this one’s for you.

This week’s Everyday Life episode feels like the end of a long, long week, and Nick and Sean finally sit down to catch up.

Nick’s still under the weather, waiting to see if his current meds do the trick or if further tests are needed. The Metzger household is also in full prep mode — excited for the Olympics, deep-cleaning the house ahead of Super Bowl LX, and flying the flag for the Patriots… even if the Lions aren’t making it this year.

Over on Sean’s side, he’s been in full Goop mode on Arc Raiders, with absolutely no sleep schedule and far too much late-night gaming. He’s also looking ahead to some well-earned half-term time off with the kiddos and Mrs A, which couldn’t come soon enough.

It’s a laid-back catch-up full of life updates, gaming chat, and the usual dad banter — so come listen along as we check in and unwind together.

This week’s Dad Life episode is all about Valentine’s Day — from the full-blown last-minute panic buying to the beautifully planned, thoughtful gestures that actually land.

We talk honestly about how not all treasures come wrapped in shiny paper. Sometimes it’s:

We chat about what really matters, how expectations change over time, and how showing you care doesn’t have to be expensive or flashy — it just has to be real.

So join us as we pass on what little Valentine’s wisdom we’ve gathered over the years (and trust us… it’s not much), have a laugh at our own mistakes, and hopefully help you feel a bit more confident heading into the day.

Happy Valentine’s Day from both of us 💕

This week’s Everyday Life episode finally sees us sitting down for a long-overdue catch-up.

Nick somehow gamer-fied his upper respiratory infection, upgraded it to full-blown pneumonia, and briefly lost his voice altogether. Achievement unlocked… unfortunately. 🎮🤒 He’s on the mend now, still sounding a little rough around the edges, but recovering well.

Sean’s been juggling collecting his dad from hospital, work, and all the usual life admin that seems to pile up when you least expect it.

So this one’s exactly what it needed to be: no agenda, no big topic, just two dads chatting through everything we’ve been up to since we last spoke, easing back into the rhythm, and enjoying being back behind the mic together.

Thanks for sticking with us — it’s good to be back.

This week we’re dropping just one episode, and it’s an Everyday Life special.

Nick’s been battling an upper respiratory infection, spending most of the week coughing through calls and meetings — which has left him with a surprisingly deep, radio-ready voice after his vocal cords took a bit of a beating.

On my side, I haven’t had the headspace to plan out a Dad Life topic this week as my own Dad has been in hospital. Because of that, we decided the best thing to do was what we do best: sit down, catch up, and chat through everything that’s been going on beyond what you hear here.

It’s a slightly longer episode, more relaxed, more reflective — just two dads talking life, checking in, and keeping things real.

Thank you, genuinely, for your understanding and continued support. We appreciate every single one of you more than you know. ❤️
