As members of the Dead Dad Club, we know a thing or two about grief. How do you talk about a loved one who's died without it becoming a whole thing? And what's the right way to support a grieving friend?

In this episode, we share our experiences, discuss the awkward moments no one prepares you for, and explore what actually helps when someone is grieving.

Thank you so much for listening!

- Standing up for yourself sounds simple until you are actually in the moment and your voice is doing something weird and you are pretty sure you are about to cry. This episode we talk about what to do when it goes wrong, why sometimes the second conversation matters more than the first.

For this milestone episode, we're joined by our brother, who has completed long-distance swims, a marathon, and both half and full Ironman races.

We talk about what inspired him to take on these endurance challenges, what training for an Ironman actually looks like, the mental and physical hurdles along the way, and the lessons he's learned from pushing his limits.

Whether you're thinking about signing up for your first race, training for an endurance event, or just curious about whether Ian peed himself during the race, this episode is for you.

Tune in as we put Ironman training to the test.

Nobody teaches you how to study. They just hand you a textbook and wish you luck. This episode, we get into the habits that actually helped, the ones that did absolutely nothing, and whether any of us retained anything past the exam. Spoiler. Consider this the episode your teachers never gave you.

Seeing as we’re both at the 3- and 7-year marks in our relationships, we thought it was fitting to do an episode on this topic. One of us definitely experienced a shift right around the 3-year point.

Is the “3-year glitch” (or is it “itch”?) a real thing, or just an overhyped fad? Listen in as we share our opinions, experiences, and unofficial tips.

Let us know what your thoughts are on this topic. Thank you for listening!

We all know we're supposed to love ourselves. But what does that actually mean and is it possible without tipping into arrogance? This episode, we get honest about that pressure, what it actually looks like in real life, and whether self-love is a radical act or just a rebranded excuse to stop growing.

We also end up in one of our favourite conversations yet about ... white guy confidence. That specific kind of unshakeable self-belief that some people just seem to walk around with, completely unbothered by what anyone thinks. We dig into why that feeling comes so naturally to some and feels completely out of reach for others, and why we think everyone deserves to feel that way about themselves. Not because you have earned it or because you have everything figured out. Just because.

Turning 18 doesn’t make you an adult—hosting your first dinner party does.

In this chaotic episode, we attempt to play host… and quickly realise we have no idea what we’re doing. From forgetting to ask about dietary restrictions (oops) to uncovering all the little ways we’re wildly unprepared, it’s less of a how-to guide and more of a “learn from our mistakes” situation.

If you’ve ever hosted—or are brave enough to try—listen in for the laughs, the fails, and maybe a few accidental lessons along the way.

This week we set out to design our dream school. It starts off hopeful and quickly turns into a list of things we would change, fix, and question. Somewhere along the way, we may or may not go on a bit of a rant about the role of parents and what actually needs to happen for kids to thrive. It’s part vision, part frustration, and very real.
