    Dad Life 74-2 — Half-Term Dad Hacks: Big Memories, Small Budget

    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, happy kids 🥾 Walks and hikes — bonus points if there’s mud, sticks, or snacks involved 🎣 Fishing trips — patience, peace, and probably someone getting tangled 🏕️ Garden camping — all the fun of camping, but with your own toilet nearby ⚽ Park games and kickabouts — simple, free, and usually chaos 🧰 Learning practical skills — because knowing how things work is never wasted Sean’s also planning a few hands-on life lessons, including bike maintenance and some basic electrical knowledge — because you never know when you’ll need to wire a plug or fix something five minutes before leaving the house. So escape the chaos, sneak off for a long sit down on the throne, and listen along as we share some half-term ideas to keep the kids entertained and the memories rolling.

    Everyday Life 74-1 — Scary Movies, Cat-tastrophes & Garden Prep

    We’re back to our regular schedule, which means you’re getting two episodes this week — and we’re kicking things off with a classic Everyday Life catch-up. Nick’s been watching scary movies with Mrs Nick, but the real horror story comes from Domino the cat, who decided that Nick’s filament box looked less like 3D printing supplies and more like a personal potty. Absolute CAT-tastrophe. 🐱 Meanwhile, Sean’s been busy cleaning cars, working, and getting the garden ready for the kids being off during the May half-term holiday in the UK. Because nothing says “relaxing school break” quite like trying to make the garden child-proof before chaos arrives. So pull up a lawn chair, grab yourself an ice-cold beverage, and come hang out with us for another round of dad life, laughs, and the usual tangents.

    Episode 73 — Mother’s Day, Massive Walks & Questionable Food Choices

    This week’s episode is another long catch-up, because once again life, parenting, work, and everything in between made lining up our schedules a challenge. That’s dad life for you! Nick fills us in on Mother’s Day and celebrating the important ladies in his life, while Sean talks about absolutely walking his legs off in the Yorkshire Dales — because apparently ignoring your surgeon’s advice is easier when you’re 56,000 steps deep into a hike. Once we finally sit down together, we catch up on all of it: family life, busy schedules, poor food choices, what we’ve been playing, and that strange feeling of being constantly busy doing everything… and somehow nothing at the same time. It’s a longer, relaxed episode full of laughs, tangents, and two dads just trying to keep up with life. So grab a drink, get comfy, and come hang out with us.

    Dad Life Episode 72-2 — The Invisible Load of Dads

    This week’s Dad Life topic is a big one: the invisible load of dads — the stuff no one always sees, but we’re constantly thinking about. There’s been a real shift over the generations. The classic 70s sitcom dad — the Al Bundy style figure — would go out to work, come home, and the home was mostly seen as Mum’s domain. Through the 80s and 90s, that started to change, with more mums working and dads becoming a more active part of the day-to-day parenting picture. Now we’re in the era where Sean and Nick sit — the modern dad era. We’re trying to pull our weight, be present, do the school runs, cook, clean, shop when we’re trusted with the list, organise family help, support Mum, support the kids, and still somehow keep everything else moving. But that comes with a cost. Because while we’re trying to be present dads, we’re also still trying to work hard, fix things, keep the house running, tackle the DIY, manage money, plan ahead, remember schedules, and be emotionally available when the family needs us. Sometimes that invisible load gets heavy, and sometimes it means we’re not quite on our A-game. In this episode, we talk honestly about what that feels like, why dads often carry it quietly, and why it’s so important to actually talk about it instead of just pushing through. So to all the dads listening: You’re not alone. It’s good to talk. And you’re doing an amazing job — even with the stuff no one sees.

    Everyday Life Episode 72-1 — Patience Tests, Power Washing & Two Dudes Catching Up

    This week’s episode starts with Logan putting Sean’s patience firmly to the test — and they do say never work with animals or children… especially when one of them knows exactly which buttons to press. Nick has finally slowed his roll a little after an absolutely packed week of driving, soccer, bowling, theatre rehearsals, shows, and even fundraising to help build more homes for people. Honestly, what an absolute legendary powerhouse. Speaking of power, Sean has been on a full power washing rampage — causing chaos with the neighbours, cleaning Grandma’s back yard, and somehow turning that into planning the materials, cost, and madness involved in laying his own artificial turf. Sometimes with Dad Crossing, you just get to listen along as Sean and Nick catch up. No big script. No major talking points. Just two best dudes hanging out, laughing, rambling, and making sense of another busy week of dad life. So grab a brew, get comfy, and come hang out with us.

    Episode 71 — Bowling, Soccer & Renovation Recovery

    This week’s episode is another long catch-up, because after our Mario movie special, there was a lot for us to unpack from normal dad life. Nick and Sean finally sit down to catch up on everything that’s been going on — from bowling and soccer weekends, to packed family schedules, to the never-ending world of home renovations for Grandma. Because apparently DIY projects don’t end… they just evolve like a Pokémon with a toolbox. Nick also shares a proper proud dad moment as his little soccer star seems to have really started “getting it” this year — reading the game, understanding where to be, and showing just how much those little moments of growth can mean from the sidelines. As always, it’s full of laughs, updates, tangents, and the kind of real dad chat that makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with us. And because it’s Dad Crossing, here’s your legally required dad joke: I tried to organise a hide-and-seek tournament for dads… but good players are really hard to find. Grab a drink, get comfy, and join us for another long, laid-back catch-up.

    Episode 71 — Super Mario Galaxy Movie Breakdown (⚠️ SPOILERS!)

    This is the first of our special episodes — recorded and kept in the bag for those weeks when dad life gets a little too busy to line things up. And honestly… we couldn’t think of a better one to kick it off. Nick and Sean both took the kiddos to see the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and we knew straight away we had to sit down and talk about it. We held off releasing this so everyone had a fair chance to watch it first… but now? 🚨 ALL bets are off — FULL SPOILERS AHEAD 🚨 Before we dive into the chaos, here’s a quick spoiler-free, kid-friendly overview: The movie follows Mario and friends on a big space adventure, exploring new worlds beyond the Mushroom Kingdom. There’s teamwork, bravery, plenty of laughs, and some really heartwarming moments — all wrapped up in colourful visuals and classic Mario-style fun. It’s a story about friendship, courage, and stepping up when it matters most, with lots of action and familiar characters along the way. After that, we go all in — breaking down the story, the characters, what we loved, what surprised us, and what it was like watching it through both dad eyes and kid eyes. So if you’ve seen the film, come join us and hear what we thought. If you haven’t… maybe bookmark this one and come back later 👀 #DadCrossing #MarioMovie #GamingDads #MovieBreakdown #SpoilerAlert Social Media: Facebook - https://bit.ly/DadCrossing  X - https://bit.ly/Dadcrossing  TikTok - https://bit.ly/DaDcrossing   Discord - https://bit.ly/Dadcrossing-Discord  Email:  Team@dadcrossing.com  Website: www.dadcrossing.com

    Dad Life 70-2 — Bedtime Battles, Big Questions & Plushie Dance-Offs

    This week Nick and Sean are talking all about bedtimes… and no, not ours (we know what you were thinking 😏). Getting kids to bed can feel like a full-on event. From the endless “can I have…” requests, to sudden deep questions about life, to full-blown plushie dance parties when they’re supposed to be asleep — it’s chaos, it’s cute, and it’s very, very real. We chat about our own kiddos, why they seem to avoid sleep like it’s optional DLC, and what might actually be going on in those busy little minds at bedtime. We also share a few strategies that have helped us (sometimes 😅): 🛏️ Consistent routine — same time, same order, every night 📖 Wind-down time — reading or quiet activities to lower the energy 💬 Pre-bed chat time — let them get all the “big questions” out before lights out 🎵 Calm environment — dim lights, soft music, or white noise ⏳ Set clear boundaries — a limit on “one more thing” requests (and stick to it!) It’s a relatable one for every parent who’s ever said “right, that’s it, lights out”… five times in a row. So grab your best pillow, settle in, and let’s all hit the hay.
