    Dad Life Episode 66-2 — Helping Our Kids Choose a Career Path

    This week on Dad Life, Nick and Sean dive into a topic every parent eventually faces: how to help your kids think about their future careers. Sean shares how his own path has been fairly linear, spending over 20 years working in the power industry, steadily building experience and progressing in one field. Nick’s journey, on the other hand, has been a little more varied, and he talks about the reasons behind the different turns his career has taken over the years. Together we reflect on what we’ve learned along the way and how we might pass that wisdom on to our kids, including ideas like: Work to be happy, not miserable — a job shouldn’t drain your life away Find something you enjoy or at least something that gives you purpose Don’t be afraid to make changes if a path isn’t working Skills are transferable — what you learn in one role can open doors elsewhere Careers take time — very few people figure it all out straight away It’s an honest chat about expectations, pressure, and the reality that most careers aren’t a straight line. Hopefully it’s a conversation that helps both parents and kids feel a little more relaxed about the journey ahead.

    Everyday Life 66-1 — Cozy Pokémon, Cracked Ribs & Contractor Waiting Rooms

    This week Nick and Sean sit down for another catch-up, kicking things off with a chat about Pokémon Pokopia. Nick is firmly in his element as the king of cozy, crafty games, while Sean… well… let’s just say it’s not exactly his usual wheelhouse. But how is he feeling about the mechanics so far? Nick also gives us a health update. After finally shaking off the previous round of ailments, he’s somehow managed to pick up another illness and even pop a rib in the process. Safe to say it’s been an eventful few weeks on the Metzger side. Meanwhile, Sean has been busy as ever with work and the gym, while the home DIY projects have slowed down slightly as everyone waits on contractors to come in and do their thing. It’s a normal-length episode this week, packed with the usual catch-up, tangents, and everyday dad life moments — so come along and hang out with us.

    This week we’ve got one longer episode for you because… well… we got carried away chatting. What started as a quick catch-up about our day-to-day turned into a relaxed one-hour episode covering a bit of everything from Everyday Life and Dad Life. We dive into our usual mix of: 🎮 What we’ve been playing lately 👨‍👧‍👦 What the kiddos have been getting up to 😂 The funny stories that seem to happen every single week Along the way we also touch on the idea of kids getting their first job and earning a little money for themselves — something we’re planning to explore properly in a future Dad Life episode. So this one’s a laid-back hangout. Pop your headphones in, put your feet up, and come listen along as we chat about life, fatherhood, and everything in between.

    Dad Life 64-2 — Kids & Mobile Phones: Freedom, Filters & Find My

    Last week, while appreciating our amazing grandparents (thank you again — you legends), we hinted at a topic that’s been bubbling away: children and mobile phones. This week, we tackle it head-on. It’s not an easy one. Every child is different. Every family is different. And the “right age” isn’t a universal number — it’s a moving target based on maturity, trust, and circumstance. We talk about: 📱 When a mobile phone becomes a regular topic of discussion 🌐 Access to social media and the reality of inappropriate content 🔒 How to lock things down with parental controls 🛰️ The fine line between healthy oversight and full-blown helicopter parenting 📍 Using built-in tools like Find My on iPhone to balance safety and independence We share our own thoughts, the grey areas, and the stuff that genuinely keeps us thinking at night. If you’re entering that phase where “Can I have a phone?” is becoming a weekly question, come listen along. We might not have all the answers — but we might help you ask better questions and feel a little more confident in your decision.

    Everyday Life 64-1 — DoorDash Drama & DIY Decisions

    This week’s Everyday Life episode sees Nick and Sean catching up on all the goings-on from the past week. Nick kicks things off with a classic DoorDash story, involving collecting pizzas for church group volunteers and discovering that even something as simple as pizza pickup can turn into a full dad-side quest. 🍕😅 Meanwhile, Sean shares updates on kitchen removals and the ambitious plan to shuffle bedrooms around to make better use of the house. What could possibly go wrong when tools, walls, and timelines get involved? We’ve all seen how this movie ends. Those are just the highlights from a week of ordinary, chaotic, occasionally heroic dadding. So grab a coffee, settle in, and come listen to all the other stories we’ve got lined up.

    Dad Life Episode 63-2 — Grandparents, Backup & Beautiful Chaos

    This week’s Dad Life episode is all about the absolute gift (and occasional chaos) of having supportive parents for us and grandparents for the kiddos. We talk about how much it helps — from sleepovers and school pick-ups to stepping in so we can actually get some adulting done without someone asking for snacks every six minutes. We also cover the real stuff: The spoiling The questionable TV choices The “we don’t do that at home” moments The extra sweets that somehow “don’t count” But alongside the funny frustrations, we highlight the massive positives: 👵 Teaching family history and traditions 🚗 Helping with childcare in a pinch 🍽️ Passing down cooking skills (or at least trying to) 💬 Offering wisdom, perspective, and a different kind of love 🧡 Giving our kids another safe place to land It’s not always perfect. Boundaries sometimes blur. But when it works, it’s a powerful thing — for us and for our kids. So come along and listen as we unpack the beauty, the boundaries, and the biscuits that somehow always appear at Grandma’s house.

    Everyday Life 63-1 — Goopin’ & Poopin’ (and the Egg That Got Left Behind)

    This week’s Everyday Life episode starts with what might be one of the most unexpected stories we’ve told — an egg… that got left behind. 🥚 You’ll just have to listen. Sean then updates us on all the Goopin’ he’s been doing lately (yes, we’re still in full Arc Raiders mode), even going as far as calling Nick mid-session… while Nick was, let’s say, otherwise occupied. Hence the title: Goopin’ & Poopin’. You’re welcome. We also catch up on how we spent Valentine’s Day, and celebrate Noah turning 12 — happy birthday, legend! 🎉 As always, expect plenty of tangents, laughs, and two dads just chatting about life, gaming, and whatever else pops into our heads. Come hang out.

    Dad Life Episode 62-2 — Dad Friendships, Isolation & the Sacred Head Nod

    This week’s Dad Life episode tackles a topic that’s bigger than it first appears: dad friendships and isolation. We talk about how many men struggle to make and maintain friendships once kids enter the picture — how playground small talk rarely turns into real connection, and why it often feels like mums have whole groups… while dads have a respectful nod and a mutual understanding that life is busy. It’s a very real, very relatable conversation about: 👋 The difference between chatting and actually connecting 🧍‍♂️ Why making friends as a dad can feel awkward or forced 🎮 And why, despite all that, we’re also very guilty of loving our own space — a bit of quiet, some gaming time, and not having to talk to anyone after work, parenting, and adulting all day We joke, we reflect, and we acknowledge that both things can be true at once: wanting connection and enjoying solitude. And honestly? That’s okay. If you’ve ever felt a bit isolated, or wondered why it’s so hard to make dad friends — this one’s for you.
