38. 'This Has Been Mostly Tangents' - The Dad Who Made Bombs* (ft. Dan Thomas)
*allegedlyWould you be impressed if a dwarf was playing basketball?Would you be impressed if Max and Joe managed to get Dan Thomas to open up about his dad? Well, get ready to be impressed because they've only gone and bloody done it!Due to Dan's busy, bigshot, BAFTA-winning schedule, we only had time to record two episodes with him, hence this episode being absolutely jam-packed with enough dad content for TWO FULL EPISODES.In the episode, Dan tells all about communicating with David, which includes: their last text exchange, their annual get-together, how many times Dan thinks they've actually broken bread together, David's status as an 'iPad dad,' and the time David came to see the live recording of Dan's comedy special.We also delve into David's hobbies and interests, which include: his stint in the 'Free Wales Army' in his youth, his career in Buddhist literature, holidays in Ibiza, and the one time he made a square pizza.Finally, we come up with a new podcast called 'Tryna Vomit on Bezos,' attempt to work out when Dan was conceived, and do some research into the darkness of humanity. Also in this episode: Dan has a therapeutic breakthrough about his childhood, talks about how he's such a loving father that his children hate him, and tells the stories of the two times he's been on 'Pobol Y Cwm.' Dan and Joe discuss the history of the IRA and Joe reveals that he's getting back into 'doodle jump.'Dan's upcoming movie: https://ihaveabomb.com/Joe and Harri's Edinburgh show: https://freefringe.org.uk/shows/escape-north-wales/Got a dad story for us?Email: [email protected] else: https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpodLogo Design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino Dada

37. 'The Ball Trembler' - The Dad Who Became a Buddhist (ft. Dan Thomas)
What do you want?If the answer is "40 minutes of BAFTA-winning TV producer and comedian Dan Thomas struggling to come up with the most basic information about his dad" then, my god, have we got a treat for you.Yes, we welcome Dan to Dadpod HQ this week to see if he can muster up a few of his dad's father figures which, given Dan's distant relationship with his dad, proves somewhat challenging and chaotic. That father I speak of is David Thomas: a petrochemical-engineer-turned-Buddhist-author who once drank 22 pints in an afternoon at the Eisteddfod. In the episode, Dan tells us about how his parents divorced before he was able to form memories, David's time working in Indonesia, the only two moments he's seen David angry (a rugby match in Swansea and seeing 'George of the Jungle' in the cinema), and the time David brought Dan some custard slices shortly after the US invasion of Grenada, much to Dan's chagrin. We also discuss David's love for sherry, John Denver, Woody Allen films (before the allegations), and any film with Gene Hackman looking gruff.Also in this episode: Dan and Joe tell tales of doing the 'Hot Ones' challenge and Max lets everyone down with his lacklustre mathematical abilities.'The Idiot Brain' by Dr Dean Burnett: https://www.deanburnett.com/books/the-idiot-brainWatch BAFTA Winning show ' The Golden Cobra' on BBC iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0021r5c/the-golden-cobra'Chilli of the Valley' hot sauce company: https://www.chilliotv.co.uk/Why is it called 'Swiss Valley?' - We couldn't find a definitive answer, but people say it's simply because it resembles Switzerland.

35. 'You Gotta Have a High Goo Threshold' - The Dad Who Eats Fried Cactus (ft. Alejandra Escamilla)
Do you want to know how to have high self esteem? Let Francisco teach you! In this episode we conclue our trilogy with Cardiff based Mexican standup Alejandra Escamilla and her legendary dad. We discuss his very on brand favourite food, and the difficulties of coping with the gooeyness of a slice of fried cactus, as well as some more wisdom from his life including his supremely confident answer to "how are you?" that will instantly cure you of your social anxiety! Along the way we discuss the celebrities he irrationally despises, come up with our own filth-ridden Bad Bunny lyrics, and plug our upcoming Patreon where we rank every South Wales comedian from hero to hack!We also hear some excellent stories including the time he tricked tourists into thinking he was chinese, how he asked a 5 year old Alejandra to pull the plug on him if he ever got a 'strange disease', and his bizarre quest to discover the most obcure cover versions of his favourite songs, from thrash metal Beatles covers to lullaby rickrolls. Fianlly, we cover Alejandra's parents morbid obsession with their own funeral plans and Fransiscos desire to open the floodgates for all the hot babes who'll want to wish him well in the next life.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alejandra Escamilla is 'just a Mexican woman collecting embarrassing stories in different countries and turning them into stand-up.

34. 'In Mexico We Don't Have Rules' - The Dad Who Blinded a Woman (ft. Alejandra Escamilla)
Has your dad ever done donuts on his motorbike outside Sunday mass? Alejandra's dad has! Several times while his hair was dyed green (like Da Joka). In this episode we chat more deeply about Alejandra's dad, how often they touch and how she keeps in dad touch from overseas, including a 'once in a lifetime' kiss on her brother's forehead and her dad's insistence that he's too busy to text, but has all the time in the world to keep in touch in other unusual ways. We also recount the tragic day Max & Joe met the main man Francisco himself, at the legendarily beleaguered Barrel of Drafts comedy night, and how an unfortunate mishap with a CPR dummy worth £1000's was caught on CCTV by the venue management, got the barrel boys in deep trouble, and killed the night.We also hear some unbelievable dad-ecdotes from his rebel days revving up outside churches, to dating his students while teaching at university, as well as his thoughts on cars and learning to drive - including which muscle car he considers a 'pussy wagon' (and not in the way you'd like)! Finally we discuss his need for speed, including the crazy moment his ex dived out of a speeding car and the feuding family fallout which led to him being known locally as "the murderer"- especially from his mates while he was trying to pull. If all that madness isn't enough for you comedy nerds, we also discuss why the difficulties of organising a character comedy night will have you crying on the floor in a daffodil hat, and do a hilarious (d)ad read for Mexican coke, despite one of our Mexican accents sounding Indian- and its NOT the one you'd think!ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alejandra Escamilla is 'just a Mexican woman collecting embarrassing stories in different countries and turning them into stand-up.

33. 'Solemnly Eat Your McNuggets, Please' - The Dad Who's Addicted to Mexican Coke (ft. Alejandra Escamilla)
Has your dad ever showed you his bulging muscles?If so, you already have something in common with this week's guest, so why not stick around and see what other similarities you share? That guest is Alejandra Escamilla: the creme de la creme of Mexican stand-up comedy rising talent in South Wales. In this episode, she joins the Dad Lads to discuss the father figures of her father figure: Francisco Escamilla Velasco, the man with the office supplies and black coffee eyes. Alejandra paints a picture of the man, from his bulging muscles that he used to love showing off, to the fact that, although he's a short king in the UK, he's actually more of an average king in Mexico. Alejandra also tells us about some of Francisco's favourite things: the film 'Rocky,' drinking Coca-Cola, fixing stuff and correcting people's grammar. She also tells us plenty of stories about Francisco: the time his mum forced him to get a pilot's license, how he tried to plan Alejandra's conception so that she would be born on a weekend, the day Alejandra was born and how it changed him forever, and the crazy road fight he had with a motorcyclist which ended with one of them in the hospital.Also in this episode: the gang discuss the insane gig where Alejandra first met the boys, the time Francisco came to a gig, how they all responded to the Queen's death, and the superiority of Mexican cola. Plus, Max tries to work out the date he was conceived and talks about his dad's gorilla arms. Joe then calls out all gorillas and tells a tale of when he flew to Newcastle for work.

In this episode we discuss what dads actually want to do on Father's Day (with the help of Reddit) to get the inside scoop on what your dad really thinks about his big day. Plus, if you're stuck on what to buy him, we dive into the top Fathers Day gifts and rank our top 10 Fathers Day Presents - from questionable light up fashion gizmos, via the famous 'mongers delight', to bizarre gifts that announce your dad's love of going trouserless. PS: Don't get him a Juicy BOOM!! (Seriously)Listen and find out what dads really crave on Father's Day, which range from 'a steak, a blowie & a sword' to 'adult fun time' and simply 'sex'. We also share stories of our father's day plans, question why so many dad's expect sexual favours for father's day, and chat about the stark difference in mother's day and father's day cards as we ask: why are you allowed to call your dad a fat, farting, alcoholic on a father's day card?

31. 'Witty Comments at the Orgy' - The Dad Who Trolls Flat Earthers (ft. Chrissy Derbyshire)
What show would your dad write fan fiction about?In this episode, we put that question to Chrissy Derbyshire, and complete the Barry Derbyshire trilogy. And what better way to complete that trilogy than by discussing Barry's hobbies?In the episode, Chrissy tells us about Barry's passion for writing, including the 9 books that he's self-published, the children's books he used to write just for Chrissy, and the one and only poem he ever wrote. She also tells us about Barry's blues harmonica abilities (including the time he channelled 'The Blues Brothers' at a church party), and some of his favourite ways to annoy and embarrass Chrissy. We also dive deep into Barry's love for trolling flat earthers online, the fact that he used to be a Christian, and that he went to school with 3/4 of the band, 'The Who.'Also in this episode, Chrissy tells us about her Christian upbringing as a self-described "horrible creep of a child, and her own hobby of writing 'Taskmaster' fan fiction. Joe reveals his crush on Steve from 'The Repair Shop,' and tells the story of the time he got ousted from a flat earther Facebook group for being ironic. Max defends '24 Hours in Police Custody' against Joe's ignorant attack, and his experiences with watching flat earther ASMR YouTube videos.

30. 'Barry'd at First Sight' - The Dad Who's An Honorary Black Man (ft. Chrissy Derbyshire)
Does the body rule the mind or does the mind rule the body? We dunno!But what we DO know is that Chrissy Derbyshire has returned to the Dadpod studio to spill more of her father's proverbial beans. That father is, of course, Barry Derbyshire! The former London bus driver who, although he would describe himself as a "boring old fart," as we find out in this episode, is anything but.In the episode, Chrissy tells us how Barry his her biggest fan and supporter of her comedy career, driving her to almost all of her gigs, even travelling as far as Sheffield and Dorset. Chrissy also talks about Barry's lovely Zimbabwean wife: the story of the moment he fell in love with her, his regular travels to Zimbabwe, plus his "honorary black man" status despite being "the whitest man you'll ever see."Chrissy also recounts her experience at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, describes her own biological daughter as "derpy cringe," and tells the tale of her worst ever comedy gig, which just so happened to be exactly where Max and Joe were due to perform the week after recording.Finally, the gang share stories about their lives in the comedy world: writing for BBC Radio Wales, the times when people have tried to give them jokes, plus Joe shares the story of an awkward car share with a dreary comedian who kept talking about all times they'd bombed and how badly that night's gig was about to go.ABOUT OUR GUEST: "Chrissy is the world's most giggly deadpan comedian, and probably the only comedian to be compared to both Sarah Millican and David Lynch. Her solo show, Innards, is coming to the Edinburgh Fringe this year".

29. 'Tubthumping: The Movie' - The Dad Who Hacked The Spoons Menu (ft. Chrissy Derbyshire)
Has Sherlock Holmes ever driven a bus?It's an exciting day for the pod as we welcome "so-called comedian" Chrissy Derbyshire to the studio for the first instalment of another episode trilogy filled with laughs and dad-ecdotes. But who is the dad under the microscope this week, I hear you ask? Well, it's Barry Derbyshire, of course! A man known by many in the South Wales comedy scene as Chrissy's chauffer, (sort of) social media manager and, of course, her father. In the episode, we mostly focus on Barry's father figures, including his favourite drink to order at Wetherspoons, his origins in Ealing and how his love of comedy influenced Chrissy to have a go at stand-up. We discuss his early years: going to school with 3/4 of 'The Who,' partying with the 'original milky bar kid,' and his dream of being Sherlock Holmes.Chrissy tells us tales of Barry's job as a bus driver in London, like the many times he got lost and the time he managed to get the bus "stuck," and she tells us about his penchant for inventing his own idioms, and the time he didn't notice that his own kitchen had suddenly been painted orange.Finally, the gang analyse awkward interactions with audience members at the end of comedy gigs, the joy of getting a free drink from a comedy venue, the film 'Brassed Off' and the song 'Tubthumping' by 'Chumbawumba.' Plus, Max shows off his Richard Osman credentials and recounts the tale of a difficult show at a neurodivergent comedy night. Chrissy and Joe also do impressions of Bob Dylan and call out Jimmy Carr.ABOUT OUR GUEST: "Chrissy is the world's most giggly deadpan comedian, and probably the only comedian to be compared to both Sarah Millican and David Lynch. Her solo show, Innards, is coming to the Edinburgh Fringe this year". (Whistlebinkies @ 11:15 Aug 20th-Aug 30th)From ChatGPT:“Only the faithless hear the hippo’s cough” sounds like the kind of proverb that warns against paranoia, guilt, or spiritual insecurity. Since hippos are huge, dangerous, and usually quiet until suddenly violent, the image works well metaphorically.A few plausible interpretations:The guilty imagine threats everywhere. Someone without conviction or loyalty is constantly listening for danger, betrayal, or judgment. The “hippo’s cough” could symbolize an ominous sign that only anxious or untrustworthy people think they detect.Fear reveals a weak conscience. The faithful move calmly through life; the faithless are hypersensitive to every little noise or rumor. Hearing the cough means you’re already expecting punishment.False alarms distract the untrustworthy. A hippo’s cough is strange, obscure, and probably insignificant. The proverb could mock people who obsess over meaningless signs because they lack inner certainty.Those who betray others expect betrayal themselves. Similar to “a thief thinks everyone steals.” The faithless hear danger because they know how deception works.It has the same mysterious energy as old invented folklore sayings, where the imagery matters more than literal logic. The phrase feels especially convincing because:a hippo is deceptively dangerous,a cough is subtle and easy to misinterpret,“faithless” gives it moral weight.Got a dad story for us?Email: [email protected] else: https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpodLogo Design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino Dada

28. ‘Voicemails are Podcasts for Old People’ - The Dadpod Boys Take Mach Fest (Machynlleth Comedy Festival Inside Scoop)
Which local comedians do you think need to give up? All this and more will be revealed (and salaciously bleeped) on this slanderous and explosive expose on the Machynlleth Comedy Festival! Oft dubbed the ‘best comedy festival in the world’ (usually to audiences currently attending said festival), Max and Joe recount their recent trip to see the cream of the comedy crop; swapping stories about the acts they loved and loathed - they also chat about the harsh realities of chalet life, how a man who looked like Jeremy Corbyn mistook Max for somebody’s dad, and the Dadpod boys slag off a lot of comedians (including local losers, circuit regulars, and huge TV names) - don’t skip this one!In more genteel moments they also discuss how volunteering at the festival works, offer their tips and tricks for navigating the ‘no horse town’ of Machynlleth itself (including what happened when a woman’s phone went off during a live recording), as well as debating whether live podcasts are a complete waste of time (and tease a future Dadpod: LIVE?). Joe also sets out a strong message to the Three mobile network to SORT their voicemail settings before finally asking the question: are voicemails podcasts for old people?. About our Topic: Machynlleth Comedy Festival is a three-day comedy festival held annually in Machynlleth, Wales. Although the town is home to only around 2,000 residents, in 2024 the festival drew in around four times that number of visitors. The festival is aimed as a testing ground for comedians to experiment with new material in the spring before the more intense Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.Got a dad story for us?Email: [email protected]Everything else: https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpodLogo Design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino DadaSee Joe at Cambridge Fringe Saturday 23rd May: https://wegottickets.com/f/17172/Dead Material Tickets 5th June: https://www.exetercornexchange.co.uk/whats-on/exeter-comedy-festival-dead-material/

This time, we discuss John's many hobbies, including looking out the window and brewing his own 10% beer, which people travelled from far and wide to taste.We talk about John's favourite sports: winding people up and drink driving. We hear tales from John's man-cave: a big shed with a bar inside, plus all the stuff that John has collected over the years: brass gas lamps, shotguns, and even a bayonet he found in the local village. Steff tells us about John's experiences with various animals, including the time he obliterated a rat with a shotgun, the time he knocked out a cockerel with a wooden plank, and their vicious pet dog called Tonto. Finally, Max tells the tale of a recent trip out with Alvin, Steff talks about the similarities and differences between his dad and himself, and we reminisce about the times Steff met both our dads.Got a dad story for us?Email: [email protected] else: https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpodLogo Design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino DadaABOUT OUR GUEST: Steffan Evans from Eglwyswrw in Pembrokeshire, is a comedian with a unique insight into the world.

26. 'I'll Saw That Bike Up' - The Dad Who Eats Raw Onions (ft. Steffan Evans)
Would you eat a sandwich from a corner shop?We're back again with the man whose two biggest idols growing up were Ian Rush and Mr T: Steffan Evans, to talk about his father, John Bach, the man who snacks on raw onions but has never tried pasta and sauce.In this episode, Steff tells us details about his relationship with John, like the fact that they were never a hugging family growing up, but that nowadays, they do hug, albeit after a bit of build up from a handshake. He also tells us how he keeps in dad touch, and the fact that his dad has 5 landlines but never seems to answer any of them. Plus, we learn about John's unique method of dealing with scam callers.We also explore John's eating habits: farting after eating crab legs, his love for choc ices and salt 'n' shake crisps, and his refusal to eat any beans other than heinz. Steffan reminisces about the first time he smelt egg, a man who ran a tuck shop from his transit van, the time his father raffled off Steff's car, and threatened to saw up his bike to stop him from riding it (Steffwas 30 at the time). Plus, he tells us how his obsession with the A-team led him to go shopping wearing a Mr T mask, and to pop all the tyres on his dad's car.Finally, Joe and Steff talk about the first time they met at a comedy gig attended by Rhod Gilbert, Steff shares the most inspirational life advice his dad ever gave him, Joe goes on a rant about politics, and Max tells the story of when his dad ordered some chocolate and received cat food instead.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Steffan Evans from Eglwyswrw in Pembrokeshire, is a comedian with a unique insight into the world .

25. 'Sleaze and Filth in a Comfortable Environment' - The Dad Who Stole a Tree (ft. Steffan Evans)
Is it okay to take stuff out of other people's skips?It's an exciting day for the pod as we welcome South Wales comedy royalty - thought of as a hard man of the Cardiff comedy scene (and as a bit of a soft lad back home): STEFFAN EVANS!In this episode, we discuss Steff's dad, John Evans, affectionately knows as JOHN BACH (little John), a short but girthy man who stands at 10 beer cans tall and weighs the same as a standard beer keg. John is known as the local hard man in a Pembrokeshire town exclusively populated by hard men, a master pintsman who loves a punch-up, a horseshoe-moustached terrier of a man, who has never shied away from hopping on a JCB in his life. We discuss John's various sources of income throughout his life, which include: driving massive lorries, home-brewing 10%apv ale, and stealing local trees. Steff also tells us about John's love for war films and Welsh country music.Steff reminisces about happy memories of his dad placing him into a skip to rummage through for any treasures, and driving lessons which consisted of giving his dad a lift to the pub (one of which led to a high-speed police chase). Things get a little bit blue as Steff discusses his dad's unorthodox take on the birds and the bees chat, the time he tried to watch a war film on video but it'd been taped over with a porno, and the times his dad hid his porn VHS tapes under Steff's mattress when he was six.Also in this episode, Steff tells us about the interesting experiences he had in Amsterdam and gives his top tips for pissing in the cinema. Plus, we all bond over tales of difficult gigs with antagonistic audiences in the Valleys and our shared hatred for misogyny.France also gets brought up a lot as Steff and Joe educate Max on the rather medieval public toilet system there, and Joe gets existential dread from the philosophical questions raised by the atomic deterioration of le grand kilogram. He also calls the French "filthy people" - which they are.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Steffan Evans from Eglwyswrw in Pembrokeshire, is a comedian with a unique insight into the world .

Who's the worst dad in Skins (2007-2013)? In this episode, we're ranking every dad in Skins Generation 1 from worst to best, from the deadbeat dads, through dads who are dead and beat, all the way to the legendary lads raising their little drughead ne'er do wells the right way. Who will be crowned the best dad of Skins Generation 1? Listen and find out as we judge their emotional education, how well they provide for their kids, and how good a kid they raise in the end (spoilers: raising a psycho like Tony doesn't score you highly!) We also discus Chris' poppy brain, our favourite things about 2007, why all the Welsh people in it are stupid and/or evil, and whether everyone in Bristol is a covert narcissist.Along the way we also chat about our dad updates including what Joe bought his dad for his birthday, as well as a furious dad rant about the terrible situation in Cardiff Central Square and why English rugby teams need to stick to their own stadiums. Who's Your Daddy...Really? is the only podcast that asks the question "when did you last touch your dad?"

22. 'I'm Gonna Kill You, Bradley Walsh' - The Dad Who Watches Movies Wrong (ft. Harri Dobbs)
Do you get excited for the cultural event that is: d'movies?Well, we've got a treat for you this week as Harri Dobbs takes us on a trip to the pictures to explore the film & TV viewing habits of Bobby Dobbies, the woke dad who loves his wife so freakin' much. These habits include: his inability to hide when he dislikes a film, hate-watching TV shows, loving Ghostbusters but loathing Groundhog Day, and hating Jim Carrey. We also explore his more wholesome viewing memories, such as: not liking films that are too "up themselves," going to the cinema with Harri to see all the X-Men films and highly anticipating the film 'Bullet Train' because he really loves the real-life bullet train.Also in this episode, Joe talks about one of the worst cinematic experiences of his life: watching The Long Walk in theatres, and reminisces about the days when he played 'The Great Escape' PS2 video game with his dad. Max sings 'These Boots are Made for Walkin' and goes on an expletive-ridden rant about the documentary 'Jim & Andy.' Harri shows off his Daniel Day-Lewis impression, and shares the best life advice that his dad has given him.Finally, the boys discuss how method acting is bad and skibidi toilet might not be that bad after all. They also give their thoughts on many films and TV shows, including 'Napoleon' and 'Friends with Benefits.' ABOUT OUR GUEST: Harri Dobbs is a Welsh comedian who hosts 3 podcasts: Didn’t Ask (answering Hypothetical questions), The Justin Timberthon (watching everything on Justin Timberlake’s IMDB) and Super Sentguys (watching the first and last episode of every series of Super Sentai).

Have you ever lined up 10 half finished bottles of malt vinegar on your mantlepiece? In this weeks episode we continue out chat with special guest Harri Dobbs as we get into the the nitty gritty of his relationship with his dad from his last dad touch, his favourite dad touch memories, down to the bizarre ways he keeps in dad touch with Bobbert Dobberts. We also discuss Harri being frozen out of the family group chat, Bob's tone over text, and the time he electrocuted himself drilling into live electrical wiring. At the top of the show, Joe goes on a biblical feature length dad rant about the recent bodying he received at the Turkish barbers, while Harri and Max share their haircut horror stories, and we also discuss the time we saw a man with ten (10) half finished bottles of malt vinegar on his mantlepiece, and what his whole deal is/was. Finally, we include a word from our sponsors for this episode: Spam - the nation's favourite canned ham clan. **ABOUT OUR GUEST: Harri Dobbs (@dobbsisfunny) is a Welsh comedian who hosts 3 podcasts: Didn’t Ask (answering Hypothetical questions), The Justin Timberthon (watching everything on Justin Timberlake’s IMDB) and newly minted Super Sentguys (watching the first and last episode of every series of Super Sentai - https://www.instagram.com/supersentguys/).

Are you a son-of-a-cum-man?Regardless of how you answered that question, we've got a treat in store for you as we welcome everyone's favourite worm-boy homunculus to the pod: HARRI DOBBS! In this episode, Harri tells us the father figures of his father figure: Bob Dobbs (or Bobbert Dobberts for short) - a surprisingly strong, unproblematic King who loves budweiser, does some sort of job with cars alongside mostly Japanese men, and is the number one suspect in the JFK assassination. Harri also tells us about his parents' first date and stories of going to the gym with his dad.We also discuss a recent gig we all attended together, where we realised we're a bunch of Balamory boys in a world overrun by Peppa Pig children who are always on their dang phones. Finally, Harri unveils his new comedy character and shows off his Powerpuff Girls abilities.Vince Vaughn gets brought up quite a lot, as well.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Harri Dobbs is a Welsh comedian who hosts 3 podcasts: Didn’t Ask (answering Hypothetical questions), The Justin Timberthon (watching everything on Justin Timberlake’s IMDB) and Super Sentguys (watching the first and last episode of every series of Super Sentai).

19. 'She's Doing Admin For Moths' - Mother's Day Special (Max's Mumbers)
Mother knows best! Or does she?Let's find out as we once again get mummy-fied in the Mother's Day special episode! This time, we discuss the mum-bers of Max's mum: Meriel, a moth-loving, beekeeping mother-of-three who's been known to eat and leave no crumbs from time to time. Max recounts memories of navigating primary school while his mum worked there (and the difficulty of her office being on the way to the head teacher's), the time she wrangled a runaway horse, and the time she nearly gave her own father a knuckle sandwich after he kicked a wasps nest. Max also talks about spending quality time with Meriel; helping her tend to her bees and to tick a big thing off her bucket list: a capybara experience. We also discuss Meriel's passions for teaching city kids about nature, TV shows about cops and movies about dudes with shiny heads driving cars real fast & furious, plus Joe gets worried that her interest in moths might lead to the flying insects taking dominion over humans. We also discuss the big day itself and the reason we're all here: Mother's day. What are our traditions, how important actually is it to our mums, how does the experience of an only child compare to that of the youngest of three? What day is it this year? Mums come under the microscope as we discuss how mums love being rude to their children, calling strangers fat and how they find it kinda funny if their child commits blasphemy or sacrilege at school.Some big breakthroughs happen in this episode: Joe realises that he's an awful son and that society would collapse without mums doing the admin, and Max realises that his brother and sister-in-law are Chinese, and that he doesn't have a curious mind. Plus, we finally decide whether Jane or Meriel would win in a fight, and Max reveals his Rodney Dangerfield impression.Capybara experience: https://themeadowswildlifepark.co.uk/product/capybara-encounter/Got a dad story for us?

What is the ideal age for your parents to get divorced? We break new ground in this episode as we welcome May Thompson back to discuss the father figures of the first divorced dad on pod: Martin Thompson - sociology teacher and dad-of-the-sea. We explore Martin's influence on May's life and personality, from igniting her interest in comedy to leading her to become a quieter queer person who doesn't wear badges. We also discuss the ins and outs of Martin's latest hobby: scuba diving. Dissecting the dangerous misrepresentation of snorkels in cartoons and asking: what is at the bottom of the sea? If you found Atlantis there, would you come back to dry land or stay down there with your new mermaid wife? Joe breaks into a Morrissey impression as we reflect on a now-defunct (or should I say, de-FUNKED) comedy night that was invaded by a fourteen-piece jazz-funk band fundraising for a yoga charity. Finally, May tells us about the time she touched her dad on 9/11, the time they bonded while watching the Women's Euros Final on her phone in a church, plus she tells us what she really thinks of Andy Parsons.

13. 'Heirs To The Jelly Throne' - Friends in a Dad's World
What are friends to dads? A scientist once said that "men over 50 only have like, 2 friends." In this episode, we find out whether or not this is true, by examining our dads' various friendships throughout the years. From Alvin's reluctant palling around with a shirtless sofa salesman and a swimming instructor who spear-tackled an old woman, to Kev's glory days with the 'king of the plumbers' and a man who used to wear a McDonald's uniform to play golf. We also look at tales from the current friend rosters of our dads - Alvin attending a gay wedding and exchanging memes with a naughty vicar, Kev getting free tickets to watch the Newport-Gwent Dragons in the royal box (which is more of a hut, really). Finally, we explore the concept of having friends as a dad - do all dads meet their friends through their wives' friends? Do you have much of a choice who you're friends with as a parent? Will we still have as many friends when we're dads? Also, Joe gets on a roll at one point with a couple of "jokes."

We also chat about the story of a dad who gifted his son a box of balls, why parents take forever to take a photo, and finally Joe recounts the story of his New Year’s Eve ordeal of showing up to previous guest dad John Hampshire’s house with a poopy shoe.Got a dad story for us?Email: [email protected]Everything Else: https://linktr.ee/dadtouchpodLogo design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino Dadadad podcast | comedy podcast UK | Welsh comedians | father son relationships | dad affection | family comedy | men’s mental health | embarrassing stories | PE Teachers | funny dad stories | British comedy podcast | emotional dads | dad touch podcast | new years | Tap on Tap off | Slapchop

Which character from the Bible would you want as a dad?Welcome back to Who’s Your Daddy… Really? for Part 3 of our Christmas Specials: this time for some Gooch Gabble - the episode that lives in that strange festive limbo between Christmas Day and New Year, where nothing is real, trousers don’t fit, and no one knows what day it is.In this episode, your hosts Joe Dehuai and Max Jones attempt to make sense of the Gooch of 2025 — the gooey, lawless stretch of time where routines collapse and dads truly come into their own. We discuss what day it even is (and why Max thinks you’re an idiot if you don’t know), settle the important question of what the best cracker is on the cheeseboard, analyse what your nativity play casting says about you, and decide which character from the Bible we’d most want to have as a dad.Plus we chat about the time things got a bit out of hand when Joe saw his parents at a local Wetherspoons in front of South Wales comedy royalty. It’s a loose-limbed, post-Christmas ramble through dads, religion, cheese logistics and festive confusion — the perfect companion for leftovers, low batteries, and that creeping sense you should probably go back to work soon.Stay horizontal, keep snacking, and join us for Part 3 of our Christmas descent.Got a story for us?

Welcome back to Ho-Ho-Who’s Your Daddy… Really? for Part 2 of our Christmas Special, where your hosts Joe Dehuai and Max Jones put festive fatherhood on trial. This time, we’re ranking all the dads of Christmas cinema - from absolute deadbeats to the big man himself, Father Christmas.In this episode, we tackle the perennial question of whether Die Hard is actually a Christmas film (and why this argument may never die), reveal the surprising reason Joe once watched Elf in October, and explain why Richard Curtis needs to be stopped before he does any more damage the British culture. Along the way, we unpack the hidden meaning of Chekhov’s Duckbus and ask what truly makes a great Christmas movie dad — emotional availability, gift-giving prowess, or just not disappearing halfway through Act Two.It’s a festive ranking, a cinematic reckoning, and another deep dive into dads, films, and seasonal nonsense that spirals exactly where you’d expect.Put the mince pie down, stop arguing with your family, and join us for Part 2 of our Christmas descent.Bit O'Fun Cardiff Comedy Night: https://www.facebook.com/bitofunGot a story for us?Email: [email protected]Follow us:@dadtouchpod@joedehuai@maxjonesanaLogo design: Alice Evans (@Alicewithapen)Music by: Gino Dadadad podcast | comedy podcast UK | Welsh comedians | Christmas special podcast | movie dads | dads in Christmas films | Die Hard Christmas | Elf movie | Love Actually comedy | Richard Curtis | festive film debate | fatherhood comedy | funny dad stories | British comedy podcast | men’s mental health | Christmas rankings | Santa movies | dad touch podcast | comedy duo | funny Christmas episodes
