About this episode
Hey legends,
Recorded at Principal Brewing for Episode 69, this episode brings together myself, dad and Riggsy for a raw and unexpectedly moving Father’s Day chat that jumps from childhood chaos to the lessons that actually stick. There are laughs, plenty of tangents, and a few stories you’ll absolutely want to hear for yourself, but underneath it all is a simple message: show up, make it fun, and never stop making the effort.You’ll discover:
- Why being a single dad is less about rules and more about who you are when you’re with your kids
- The small moments that build a lifelong bond, from weekend escapes to ridiculous road trip memories
- How kids read energy, not just parenting tactics
- Why letting go of the past can matter more than being “right”
- The long game of fatherhood, and how it changes when your kids become parents too
The episode also goes off the rails in the best way, with stories about dusty DVD rentals, motel weekends, dodgy dating site catfish, and the kind of family nostalgia that only makes sense when you’ve lived it. But the emotional core never leaves the room: the love between a dad and his sons, and the reminder that even imperfect parenting can still leave a legacy.Essential listening if you care about family, fatherhood, or the kind of honest conversation that cuts through the noise and stays with you after it ends. Perfect for Father’s Day, but worth hearing any day of the year.
