About Two Sweary Dads
From the publisher's feed
Your hosts are Ben Slinger (father of a 2 year old boy and twin 9 month old girls) and Trevor Scott (father of a 3 year old boy). Together they discuss the vagaries of fatherhood in Australia, tell stories of joy and frustration, and go off on tangents that don't involve their children at all (because not everything is about being a Dad).
Topics include the trouble with toilet training, the fun of sharing hobbies with your kids (and when not to), those funny little things that kids do, and plenty of discussion on video games and game development, technology, movies, TV and music.
Ben and Trevor have been friends since high school and have bonded even further during this next phase of their friendship: surviving fatherhood (and loving it) to become Two Sweary Dads.
