Rob and John are back answering your parenting questions—but this time, Rob’s partner Jakki joins the crew, bringing a woman’s perspective to the chaos of dad life.

From Spiderman-obsessed kids and lying toddlers to phone-distracted partners and housework arguments, no topic is off-limits. They also dive into big questions like:
– Should kids quit sport mid-season?
– How do you connect with a teenage daughter?
– Is it OK to argue in front of your kids?
– What’s the best way to apologise when you lose it?

It’s funny, raw, and real—as always.

Lads, it’s a whole new season — and we’re not just talking footy! This week, we tackle the brave new world of raising kids in the age of AI. From ChatGPT helping with homework to Spotify DJs who know your guilty pleasures, we’re diving headfirst into the tech that's shaping our parenting playbooks.

Rob, John and special guest Jakki (the real one… we think) chat about AI’s creeping presence in our homes, schools, and even dinner plates. Are our kids getting an assist or losing their learning boots? Is homework becoming a thing of the past? And what on earth is a pen licence in 2025?

Tune in for laughs, honest dad chat, and a few tech-fuelled truth bombs. Whether you’re AI-curious or just trying to get the shopping list off the fridge and onto your phone, this one’s for you.

Back for round two, Steve jumps off the bench and straight into the thick of it with Rob and Dave in this no-holds-barred episode of Dads United. We’re talking parenting as a team sport—where being caught offside can mean your kid's talking to strangers online, and the goal is just keeping your sanity until full-time.

From teenage tech traps and online predators to navigating your role as both coach and teammate in the household, it’s all here—with a few sideline laughs and classic dad tangents along the way. Steve also gets real about life after retirement, backing your partner like a solid backline, and making sure your kids know who to pass the ball to when life gets messy.

Warning: contains strong parenting advice, questionable footy analogies, and the occasional dad joke.

The boys are back and feeling every ache and pain as Rob hits the big 5-0. This episode, we dive deep into what it's really like ageing as a dad — from dodgy knees and gym injuries to the guilt of not keeping up with the kids. We reflect on parenting past 40, the physical vs mental game of fatherhood, the fine art of injury prevention, and yes, even being mistaken for grandads. Whether you're rocking a dad bod, dodging monkey bars, or embracing elastic bands over barbells, this one's for the seasoned (and slightly sore) fathers out there.

It’s match day at home, lads! In this episode of the Dads United Podcast, we tackle the toughest opposition of all—daily routine. From morning mayhem to bedtime battles, we chat tactics, slip-ups, and golden goals in parenting. It’s a proper dad dugout discussion—grab your boots (or just a brew) and join the squad!

With election season heating up in Australia this week, the dads dive deep into the chaos, comedy, and contradictions of the campaign trail. From the disappearance of Stobie pole posters (RIP moustache-drawn candidates) to serious debates about nuclear energy, childcare funding, and the skyrocketing cost of milk, Rob, John, and Dave offer up their signature blend of insight, irreverence, and relatable dad commentary.

They break down what really matters for families — cost of living pressures, who we trust to represent us, and whether free energy will ever actually be free. It’s a raw and real discussion about voting not just for politics, but for the future our kids will grow up in. Oh, and yes — democracy sausages do get a mention.

🎧 Tune in for:

• Why the dads aren't buying the nuclear energy sell

• Election promises that might actually help your family

• How the cost of living is punching parents in the wallet

• A fair few laughs at the expense of politicians (and each other)

Perfect for any Aussie parent trying to make sense of modern politics without falling asleep at the wheel.

It’s the school & Easter holidays, and we’re knee-deep in Easter eggs, Holiday planning, and dodgy knees (cheers, Rob). Join Rob, John, and Dave as they take on the holy trinity of chaos: Easter, school holidays, and Anzac Day. Expect Dave's holiday hacks, caravan capers, and the Dads biggest dilemma in the current cost of living crisis? The definitive ruling on Best Before vs. Use By. Yes, we almost go aisle by aisle! It’s locker room banter meets dad life – with a side of mouldy cheese. So strap in for a proper laugh and a few useful tips (probably).

This week on the Dad United Podcast, we’re diving into the chaos and wonder of milestone moments, birthdays and icon ages as the kids grow up,—whether it’s your toddler mastering toilet training or your teen disappearing into the night with their L-plates and an app-based game of hide and seek (yep, that’s a thing now).

With Robs son turning 16, the dads reflect on what it means to give your kids more independence while holding onto your sanity. From teen sleepovers, to the hormonal rollercoasters of puberty, to toddlers throwing fists and tantrums just to get noticed—this one’s got it all.

We also unpack the different challenges across ages, the dynamics between siblings, and how we navigate those “I hate him / I love him” moments that somehow happen five minutes apart.

Grab your coffee (or a beer, wine for the ladies), and let’s celebrate the madness that comes with watching our kids grow up.

Tune in wherever you get your podcasts, and make sure youdon’t forget to follow and leave a review– we’d love to hear about the milestones in your world.
