Are dads allowed to be tired, too?
Look it's a tricky one. Mums do soooo much, and their bodies go through more than we dads can ever imagine, we all agree on that. But as dads, are we allowed to be tired too? Or is parenting a never ending competition to see who is the tired-est? Also Jordan has hearing aids now, and we are so dum…
Extra curricular activities
This week we tackle (pun intended) the topic of the stuff your kids wanna do outside of school hours, because it can be a lot, especially if you've got multiple kids! Somehow, this also becomes a "what health problems does Clint have" episode too. We try to solve snoring OH AND JORDAN HAS A BIG VAS…
Men's Health Week
It's men's health week here in New Zealand so this week we are having a frank discussion about how we look after ourselves as dads, and what we could do better. Do we go to the doctor enough, and why are we so weird about anything to do with butts?? It's a fairly honest and revealing chat - hopefu…

Confident kids
Like the song says "it's all about confidence, baby!" This week we discuss raising strong, confident children who are ready to take on the world (or at least the monkey bars). We also ask where our own confidence comes from, and what it allows us to do in life. ------------------------------------…
Fashion
We are attending the very fancy New Zealand podcast awards in two weeks and Jordan is losing sleep over what to wear! Like many dads, he has fallen into a fashion rut of round-the-house clothes and one pair of "going out" jeans. So how do we, as dads, fix that, and put our best-dressed foot forward…
Adventures with Dad (and Mother's Day)
Hamish Blake instilled in us, on his episode, the importance of going on as many adventures as you can with your kids while they are young. This weekend just gone, we did just that! Two very different adventures but with the same great outcome. Plus who won mother's day 2024: redemption round? -…
Jono and Ben
Legendary kiwi comedians Jono and Ben are our guests this week on TPH! This episode was recorded live as Jordan, Jono and Ben played handball non-stop for 24 hours. Clint joined them for a bit and the boys chatted about everything dad-life. Heads up - it sounds a bit different because it's not in …
Starting school
We're back! We took the school holidays off from the pod and forgot to mention that we now take the holidays off (opps) but WE'RE BACK! Clint's daughter is one term away from starting school so today it's all about that transition, and to be honest, it's probably more of a transition for us parent…
