September 15, 2025 Everyday Life 43-1 – Hunger Games, High Points & Hungry Dads
This week’s Everyday Life episode kicks off with a friendly game of Sharks and Minnows that somehow turned into The Hunger Games: Part 2 — because of course it did! 🏹😂
Sean shares a nostalgic story about feeling sorry for his mum, remembering how it was like WrestleMania every day growing up with his brother. He also explains why he went 58 hours without eating (spoiler: it’s very on-brand for Sean) and how he can’t resist climbing to the highest point possible — whether in games or life.
We round things off by checking in on our Robinhood investments, giving a little update on our current growth (or lack thereof!). It’s the usual mix of laughs, dad chaos, and life updates you know and love.

Meanwhile, Nick fills us in on what’s been going on with him and his family while Sean’s been away. From kids’ antics to gaming chatter, we share a long-overdue conversation full of laughs, dad life updates, and our usual mix of parenting chaos and geeky tangents.

September 03, 2025 A families Journey into Foster Parenting
Nick and Sean sit down with Duane (aka "the Duke") to discuss his family's foster care journey — why they felt called to help, the licensing and home‑study process, and what it was like to take in placements during COVID. Duane shares honest stories about balancing three biological daughters with infants and older placements, and the emotional highs and lows that come with welcoming kids into your home.
Listeners will hear practical tips and takeaways: the importance of training and home studies, available community resources, asking for respite and support, setting family boundaries, and first steps for anyone interested in fostering. This episode blends faith, real-life advice, and encouragement for dads considering foster parenting.

August 27, 2025 Dad Life 40-2 – Paternity Pay: Modern Dads in a Modern World
This week’s Dad Life episode takes on a big, dicey topic: Paternity Pay.
We dive into the differences between the US and UK systems, and ask the important question: should paternity leave and pay be brought into the modern world?
As we move away from the old “1950s dad” model towards a more hands-on, present style of fatherhood, we believe dads should be supported so that we can support our partners too.
We want to be clear — this isn’t about taking away from the incredible work that mothers do. It’s about recognising that modern dads want to do their fair share, and that families are stronger when both parents are given the chance to be there from the very beginning.
It’s thoughtful, honest, and an important conversation we hope will resonate with parents everywhere.

August 25, 2025 Everyday Life 40-1 – Hunger Games, Holiday Prep & Hitting 40!
That’s right — we’ve officially hit Episode 40! This week’s Everyday Life episode is packed with dad chaos, laughs, and catching up on what’s been going on in our worlds.
We kick things off with Nick’s kiddos dueling like it’s The Hunger Games, before diving into some of the games we’ve been playing recently. Then it’s on to life updates: Nick’s crew are back in school which means the return of routines, and of course Noah changing his mind (again!) on his sweet treat of choice.
Meanwhile, Sean is in full holiday prep mode, fresh from moving Jaia out of her uni residence for a few weeks and juggling all the family tasks that come with dad duty.
It’s a milestone episode, and it’s full of the usual banter, laughs, and dad-life updates you’ve come to expect.

August 20, 2025Dad Life 39-2 – Kids Pushing Boundaries & Parenting as a Team
This week, we dive into the tough moments of parenting — when kids test limits, don’t listen, and sometimes leave mum and dad on opposite sides of the fence. Nick shares a real-life story that sparks our chat about how disagreements can lead to bickering in front of the kiddos.
We talk openly about:
How kids push boundaries (and why it’s normal)

The importance of backing each other up as parents

Healthy ways to resolve differences without letting it spill into family tension

Because at the end of the day, parenting isn’t about being perfect — it’s about working together to build a stronger family.

August 18, 2025 Everyday Life 39-1 – Robinhood, Repairs & Random Dad Life
This week’s Everyday Life episode is packed with updates, laughs, and the usual dad banter!
We kick things off with an update on our Robinhood investment journey — are we up? are we down? let’s just say the stock market rollercoaster is real. Sean talks about his love-hate relationship with Balatro+ and how he’s found a new favorite in Grounded 2 on Xbox.
Then the tables turn as Nick shares his attempt at repairing the family dryer… which somehow leads to a Vicks vs Vaseline mix-up story you won’t want to miss. 🤦‍♂️
Outside of that, it’s been work, family, and keeping the kids entertained. With Nick’s holidays wrapping up and Sean’s just beginning, it’s safe to say dad life never slows down!

August 13, 2025Dad Life 38-2 – Back to School, Back to Reality
The summer break is officially over, which means it’s time to swap lazy mornings for alarm clocks and coffee on the go.
We dive into the dad life realities of:
Earlier bedtimes (and the negotiations that come with them)

Making packed lunches that might come home half-eaten

School drop-offs and the parking lot shuffle

The morning rush — socks missing, shoes on the wrong feet, and homework suddenly remembered at the door

Finding that one clean uniform… five minutes before you leave

Relearning how to function before 8am without losing your cool

If you’re in the trenches of the school year kick-off, you’ll feel this one.
