Sean and Nick are back for another catch-up, and this week there’s plenty to get through!

First up, Apple has apparently decided that what everyone really needs is a very expensive device that folds in half.

Sean is firmly in the “yeah… that’s probably not for me” camp, while Nick is already looking at it like something that might mysteriously find its way into his hands somewhere down the line.

From ...

For once… we actually managed to record a Dad Life episode! 🎉

And with the summer holidays over, there was really only one place to start:

It’s back to school you go!

After weeks of later nights, longer lie-ins and routines slowly disappearing into the abyss, it’s time to start dragging the kiddos back towards something resembling normality.

We chat about getting bedtimes and mornings back under control, what th...

For the first time in what feels like forever, Sean and Nick finally get the chance to just sit down and chat.

No recording from holiday. No clock watching. No kids deciding that somebody suddenly needs to be somewhere. No reason to rush whatsoever.

And, as it turns out, giving the two of us unlimited time might have been a terrible idea. 😂

We’re entirely unapologetic for the sheer number of tangents this episode takes becau...

It’s a slightly shorter Everyday Life this week, and our only episode of the week, because Sean is away in Wales with the family — but apparently even going on holiday isn’t enough to escape podcast duties!

Sean managed to squeeze in a bit of time to jump on with Nick and give us the full update on how Lyndsey’s surprise 40th party went, whether all that planning actually paid off, and what the family have b...

We’re back with another Everyday Life episode, and after a couple of slightly different weeks it feels like there’s a lot to catch up on.

Last time we properly checked in, Nick was mentally preparing himself for camp while Sean was winding down and getting ready for a very busy few weeks of holidays, birthdays and trying to keep surprises… well, actually surprising.

So how did it all go?

Nick finally gets to repo...

This week’s episode is another Daddy-Daughter special, and this time Nick is joined by his daughter, Ariel!

Get ready for a wholesome, funny, and slightly chaotic chat as we find out what happens when father and daughter take over the microphones together. We talk about who is actually funnier, what on earth is meant by “infinite bodies”, and plenty more brilliant moments that only make sense when you hear them un...

This week on Dad Life, we’re talking about the completely normal, totally reasonable things dads take far too seriously.

You know the ones:

🌱 Getting the lawn stripes perfectly straight 🍽️ Loading the dishwasher the correct way 🔥 Maintaining the ideal BBQ temperature 🚗 Parking with surgical precision 🌡️ Protecting the thermostat from unnecessary interference 🔌 Coiling an extension lead without creating a tangled monstro...

This week on Everyday Life, Nick and Sean catch up on everything that’s been going on over the last seven days as they both prepare for very different kinds of chaos.

Nick is mentally getting himself ready for camp next week, which means plenty of planning, organising, and trying to convince himself he’s fully prepared for whatever is about to be thrown his way.

Meanwhile, Sean is starting to wind down ahead of a surpri...

That’s right — we actually managed it… a double episode week!

This week on Dad Life, we’re talking about that strange parenting moment when you suddenly realise your kids aren’t just little kids anymore.

They’ve got proper opinions. Their own sense of humour. Music tastes you may or may not approve of. Strong views on the world. And worst of all… arguments that are sometimes annoyingly lo...

This week on Everyday Life, we’re back catching up on another busy week of dad life, gaming, work, and everything in between.

We kick things off by talking about England’s World Cup journey, the disappointment of defeat, and ultimately finishing in 3rd place. It might not have ended exactly how we wanted, but there’s still plenty to be proud of!

Nick gives us an update on his healing and recovery journey, while Se...

This week’s episode is another one-off, as real life once again had absolutely no respect for our usual schedule.

Nick’s surgery and recovery, theatre camp for the kiddos, and the show they performed meant things were already fairly hectic. Then Sean added to the chaos by taking his eldest to the pub to watch England take on Norway — and thankfully, they got the win!

But being short on time certainly didn’t ...

This week’s episode is another one of those longer catch-ups — because life got in the way, as it so often does.

We missed last week while Sean celebrated his eldest turning 20 (how is that even possible?!), and then our schedules decided they had absolutely no interest in lining up. So after some July 4th fun, a busy week of fixing things for Nick, and Sean doing his usual running around helping everyone he can, we fin...

If fatherhood was an RPG, what skills have you unlocked along the way?

In this episode, Sean and Nick dive into the unofficial Dad Skill Tree and compare the abilities they’ve picked up over the years. From carrying every shopping bag in a single trip to developing an almost supernatural ability to spot a lie before it’s even finished, some skills are earned… and some are simply unlocked through years of sleep de...

Nick’s back! After his trip to Orlando, where he packed in the parks and made Sean incredibly jealous in the process, he’s finally returned to tell us all about the rides, the food, the highlights, and a surprise he brought home for Sean.

Meanwhile, Sean’s had one of those weeks. Between work, the gym, sleep… and then doing it all over again, there hasn’t been much room for anything else. He has, howe...

This week’s episode is a little different as Nick is off living his best life in Universal, so Sean is joined by a very special guest — his 14-year-old daughter, Emily.

Emily is into video games like Far Cry, Stray and Little Nightmares, loves anime-style drawing, and has a music taste that ranges from country to pop punk and emo. So basically, she’s cooler than Se...

This week’s episode is another one of those long Everyday Life catch-ups, because there’s been plenty going on for both Sean and Nick.

Nick is getting ready to head off to Florida to visit Universal, and while Sean is absolutely green with envy, we do of course wish him all the best… through slightly gritted teeth.

Sean shares all about his recent workplace visit with the children he’s been mentoring, givin...

This week’s Dad Life episode is a little different as Sean and Nick sit down for a game of Parenting Would You Rather.

We start off with the silly stuff, move into very real parenting situations, and somehow end up in the deep and meaningful corner — because apparently even daft questions can turn into emotional damage when you’re two dads trying to answer honestly.

Expect plenty of awkward pauses, big laughs, and...

This week’s Everyday Life episode kicks off with not one, but two brilliant Nick stories involving his daughter and baked beans — yes, the breakfast food for the Brits. We promise it makes sense… eventually. 🫘

Sean then fills Nick in on all the May half-term fun he’s been having, from ridiculously hot UK weather and paddling pools to family BBQs and, of course, more car washing. We know. We’re sorry....

Off the back of Sean’s prep for the May half-term, this week’s Dad Life episode is all about making the most of time with the kiddos without needing to spend a fortune.

We chat through what we’ve got planned, how to keep the kids busy, and how sometimes the best memories come from the simple stuff rather than the expensive days out.

A few low-cost ideas we cover include:

🚲 Bike rides — fresh air, tired legs...
