Ryan and Crofton tie a ribbon on a few ongoing video games they completed including Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and Metroid Prime 4 before Crofton laments the current state of world affairs and his inability to look away.

It is 2026 and the boys are back so you know what that means? That's right - arguing about the DaD Challenge! Who won? Who lost? What did we learn? But it is never too late to get points on the board as Ryan returns to his childhood with Philip Pullman while Crofton gets zen with meditating. Then it is time for the year's first topic and a discussion about how old your kids should be before watching your favourite movie, playing that violent game, or listening to that gangsta rap. All of that, Dispatch and Stranger Things! Come listen! Discussion 00:00:00 - DaD Challenge 2025 00:13:22 - Dungeons 01:30:02 - Age Appropriate Media Have a question or comment for the show?

It is one episode before the biggest event of the season - the Daddies - but first Ryan and Crofton get some new picks into the dungeons, including classic book 1984 for Crofton and a new mystery anime for Ryan. They then compare notes on their Final Fantasy VII Rebirth journeys which have remarkably aligned so far.

Ryan and Crofton take a break from their usual parental shenanigans to reflect on some of the video games that left important marks on their younger selves - from Mother Goose to Mario. But first, they hit the books with Ryan's review of Richard Osman's latest Thursday Murder Club yarn and Crofton singing the praises of Kelly Yang's Front Desk. All of this, Ninja Gaiden, and Ryan can't stop won't stop with shark movies and the Meg 2. Come listen!

A bit of a different topic this week as Ryan and Crofton share stories about times that they felt misunderstood for being a parent and advice on how to support your parent friends as they embark on a sometimes scary, always tiring, new journey. But before that Crofton has more to say on Hades II, while Ryan watches The Meg with Kayden and Peacemaker Season 2 by himself. All of this and one of the boys gets a new pet! Come listen!

The spooky season means a return to the scariest topic imaginable… putting kids to bed. What has changed in the past two years? What hasn't? The sequel you have all been waiting for.

No topic this week as the boys catch-up on the considerable amount of things that they have been doing, playing, reading, and watching. From roller coasters to Minecraft experiences, from Rogue Princes of Persia to Hollow Knights of Silksong, from big Netflix films of the year, to a possible book of the century, and more.

The alarm has sounded: the CORE boys are up to no good and poor Crofton is the victim. This special edition provides Crofton's counterpoint to Beau's "Valheim Story" from CORE 480. Should you be a listener of both shows, you will enjoy this. Should you only listen to DaD then there is no other version of this story. Have a question or comment for the show?

It is time for Ryan and Crofton to examine the addictive video game drugs of the kid world: Minecraft and ROBLOX. But they are not the experts and invite Gwen and Kayden to visit and explain the appeal of these blocky games. Meanwhile, Crofton tries to get some points in the DaD competition by reading Kazuo Ishiguro's seminal novel Never Let You Go where Ryan goes back to the theatre to watch the latest version of The Fantastic Four. All of that and they both play the same video game at the same time (Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, not Final Fantasy). Come listen!

With Ryan and Crofton now proud owners of Nintendo Switch 2s, there has never been a better time to look back over the life of the original Nintendo Switch and the priceless memories - both good and bad - it left them with. Ryan also goes bananas for Donkey Kong: Bananza while Crofton hard sells Old Skies, the new adventure game from Wadjet Eye Games. All this and Ryan finally goes to a museum and gets some culture.
