  • Everyday Life 44 – Elephant Ears, Nintendo Direct & A Needed Reminder

    This week’s episode is a big one — at 50 minutes, we’re combining Everyday Life and Dad Life into a single, packed conversation.

    We kick things off with everything we’ve been up to lately, including an unexpected deep dive into elephant ears (the delicious kind you eat, not the animal’s!). Then we give our late-to-the-party thoughts on this month’s Nintendo Direct and share what we’ve been playing recently.

    To close things out, Nick takes a heartfelt moment to tell Sean to stop selling himself short — a lovely sentiment that reminds us all about the power of friendship and encouragement.

    It’s laughs, gaming chatter, dad updates, and a bit of warmth to wrap it up — the perfect blend of what Dad Crossing is all about.

  • Dad Life 43-2 – The Games That Made Us

    This week’s Dad Life episode takes a nostalgic deep dive into the video games that shaped us as dads. From the classics that taught us patience (looking at you, Mario Kart rage-quits) to the co-op adventures that helped us bond with our kiddos, we explore how gaming has influenced the way we parent, problem-solve, and even handle life’s tantrums.

    We chat about:

    🎮 Games that taught us perseverance and teamwork
    😂 Hilarious rage-quit moments that mirror parenting meltdowns
    👨‍👧‍👦 Titles we now share with our kids to pass on lessons (and laughs)
    🕹️ How gaming has helped shape our values as modern dads

    It’s equal parts nostalgia, laughter, and real talk about what video games can teach us about fatherhood and patience.

  • 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.

    This week’s Everyday Life episode is a proper catch-up after Sean’s week away on holiday. He gives the full lowdown on his time in County Durham—from family 4-wheeling adventures to plenty of long walks and downtime together.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dad 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.
