Oi, lads & ladies! This week on DADS United, Rob and Dave take to the pitch with a proper legend of the force, Stephen – a retired copper and detective with 40 years on the clock. This isn’t your usual kickabout; it’s part one of a cracking deep dive into life as a top-tier dad while patrolling the mean streets. Stephen opens up about raising his two lads (now fully grown strikers in life) while keeping law and order. It’s a mix of the good, the bad, and the downright ugly sides of parenting – straight from the bobby’s mouth. We’re talking honest reflections on handling kids, the fine line between discipline and support, and why you shouldn’t rush to point fingers at those who’ve had a dodgy run-in with the law. There’s plenty of extra-time banter too, including tips on spotting if your kids are hanging out with the wrong crowd, handling the offside traps of drugs and booze, and staying on the ball with your youngsters’ mates.

It’s one for the dads, the fans, and anyone trying to score some parenting goals. Cheers!

Hold onto your scarves, lads, because this week Rob, John, and Dave are lacing up their boots and taking on a tricky away fixture – the woke world. 🌈🏳️‍🌈 From VAR-style reviews on pronouns to tackling non-traditional parenting head-on, the boys are stepping onto a pitch that’s as unpredictable as an English cup tie. As middle-aged dads who grew up in simpler times—when the biggest debate was who nicked the last pint—they’re now grappling with the modern rules of play. Sexuality, cultures, politics… you name it, they’re kicking it around. Are they experts? Not a chance. But like a mid-table side taking on a top-six club, they’re giving it a proper go. Expect honest chats, plenty of laughs, and maybe even the odd red card moment as they fumble their way through the maze of wokeness. This episode opens the door for dads to start their own half-time team talks with their kids, partners, and mates. So grab your headphones, settle into your dugout, and let’s take on this woke world together. After all, this isn’t about winning the league; it’s about staying onside. ⚽ Available now on all podcast streaming platforms!🏟️ Join the conversation and share your thoughts with the team on social media. #DADSunited #WokeWorldFC #ParentingMatchday

This week, we’ve got a guest appearance like no other! Rob’s partner Jakki joins us on the pitch to give the domestic league lowdown, offering the ultimate female perspective on the DADS United banter.

More importantly, what should we be talking about to keep our female fans from switching off? We’re pulling no punches here – Jakki takes us through the lineup of household duties and frustrations. Is John up to scratch with his sweeping game? Can Rob clean up after himself, or is he still sliding around the kitchen like a dodgy defender?

Are we keeping a close eye on what they're actually watching, or are we just letting the devices babysit while we kick back on the sofa? If you reckon it's all harmless fun, have a think about why some governments are red-carding social media for kids under 14. They’re not doing it for a laugh – there’s a reason behind the bans, and it’s high time we got off the bench and took a serious interest. As dads, parents, and proper footy fans, we care about the future of our kids and the welfare of the next generation. We may not know all the risks yet, but we do know it’s our job to play defence. So, grab a pint, settle in, and join us as we tackle the tricky questions around social media, screen time, and what it means for our young'uns.
