Dad Tales
Two average men striving to be great dads. Talking the world of parenting through a fathers eyes. Real, funny and a little bonkers.
S2 Ep 21 (Not so) Masterminds
S2 Ep 21. The Dad's are still on a high this week from appearing on this week's Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4. Andy had his speaking part cut so he persuaded Leon to recreate the experience - The Oscar can be kept on hold after these guys' acting skills.
The dad's go head to head in a Mastermind quiz style with guest quiz-host - Terrence! Not wanting to give the game away but Terrence is Leon's nephew and Andy claims a bum-deal with the question; some definite favouritism going on - which they completely deny.
Do you tidy your kids bedroom? That is the burning question the Dad's ponder this week. have your say by messaging the pair at [email protected] or message them on any of the social media platforms.
As always, thank you for listening and supporting the guys.

S2 Ep 19 Only Fools and Handshakes!
S2 Ep 19 has the dad's talking foolish behaviour. After Andy got completely caught out with last week's plonker of the pod he had to hang his head in shame.
Leon is slowly realising that his children are much more intelligent - who would've known??
This weeks POTP has both dad's ensuring they have done their homework this time and once again, Leon goes for the big guns. Andy just wants love and peace (and people not to facetime in public).
the Dad's are set to release some BIG news next week - this could be huuuuuuge! Or it might be a massive bust - hey, stick around until next week to find out.
Thanks as always for the love and support. Keep your questions comping in to [email protected]

S2 ep 17 Father Fears
S2 Ep 17 and the 'rona' strikes again and it would seem that isolation gives the chance for the dad's to find out a few things about themselves. It's not all good either!
The rules have been set on the fitness challenge and we're now taking bets on who gives up first (DM us for the latest odds ;-)).
This week's question for the dad's comes in a bit serious and the dad's actually offer some decent advice - take their advice at your own peril.
Leon goes over board on his Plonker of the Pod with a bucket full - His isolation clearly got the better of him.
Follow the dad's on all of their social media outlets, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok. Just search @Dadtales and they're there somewhere.

S2 Ep 15 We Should Definitely have Done This by Now....
S2 Ep 15. What do you think you should have done in your life by now but you haven’t? The Dad’s have been asking this question for the past few weeks and the dad Tales family have responded with some fantastic results.
If this was a game of Top Trumps Leon would no doubt won due to him doing everything (with bells on) but the Dad’s reminisce on some things they have done together and, WOW!!
This weeks episode finishes with Andy scratching his head at what he could possibly teach Leon next year….. only 365 days to figure that one out.
Please have a look at Leon’s Guinness World Record attempt on the Dad Tales YouTube channel. A MUST see!!
Merry New Year to all and be safe and keep smiling!!
35:0230/12/2021
S2 Ep 14 A Little Bit of That Christmas Thing
S2 Ep 14 *** Pre listen warning – There is some slurred language due to the dad’s being on the mulled wine***
It’s almost Christmas and the dad’s are feeling very festive (Andy even wore his Christmas jumper for this one – it must be a Christmas miracle).
This week Leon couldn’t remember what he’d done and that actually had nothing to do with alcohol for once. Andy had trouble with trains but even that didn’t make this weeks plonker of the pod!
This weeks fact or fake is Christmas related (obviously) – Andy is at the helm so can Leon finish the year on top by guessing the smelly fake!!
Please keep your questions coming in, ask the dad’s anything, on any subject and to any level.
Merry Christmas to all the listeners of the Dad Tales Podcast. Stay safe and keep smiling!!
34:5223/12/2021
S2 Ep 13 A Bit of a Poop Episode
Ignore the title, this episode is awesome. The dad's catch up on what they've bene up to and it seems (as usual) they have polar opposite weeks. Andy gets "scammed" in the bus lane whilst Leon travels to see the big fella in the red suit.
As Andy goes through his shopping woe's and explains his top 3 pointless crappy gifts, Leon goes all posh when it comes to describing the male member! Who knew it was actually called that????
Leon provides this week's fact or fake and its a "solid" fact as usual.
The dad's aim to avoid everything political this week (which is hard considering) as they explain their Plonker of the Pod.....
Thank you for all your continued support and remember to #bekind
49:3416/12/2021
S2 Ep 12 How Times Have Changed
S2 Ep 12 Starts with a bombshell - The dad's can actually read!! Who would've known! The dad's discuss how things have changed over the years. Once upon a time these two were cool (their words, not mine) and following Andy having a night out realise things have become very different now.
Leon's week has highs and lows and he pays a fantastic tribute to the Dad Tales no.1 fan - his sister Becki. Have a listen to find out why he was wearing his PJ's over his jeans???
A discussion on pointless items may become a regular fixture as the dad's completely disagree on the point of a spoon spoon is???
Thank you again for all your support and if you have any questions you want to ask the dads ready for their question time in the new year feel free to drop them a message at [email protected] or follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Tik Tok. Just search Dad Tales.

S2 Ep 10 Bezos Bashing
Join the dads on this weeks journey of random topic. A general quiet week in both households although Noah did win the European Cup.
It’s not Fanny Schmeltz or Dick Tingler in this weeks Fact or Fake - it’s a marriage made in sheer heaven for these names! How different the world would’ve been if Cilla Black was actually Cilla Orange? Top debates once again!
Andy starts off a Bazos Bashing which Leon isn’t afraid to join and before you know it the pair are sweating on the world economy!!
Thanks again for listening. It really means a lot and feel free to follow the dads on any of the social media platforms. Just search Dad Tales and they’ll be there somewhere lurking!!

S2 EP 8. Getting Things Wrong
S2 Ep 8 The dads are back (and can you believe it, still going strong). This week Leon "grafts" for a full 6 days - in his office with coffee on tap, like Annie said, It's a hard knock life.
I'm not sure what happens here when both dad's start revealing stories about getting things mixed up - it's certainly not like them to do that. fact corner returns with a doozie, and Andy trying to catch Leon out - can he do it or is Leon's sharp whit and good looms just too good?
Good ol' plonker of the pod returns and surprise surprise it doesn't have anything to do with Halloween or bonfire night - just a large basketballer and a condom for all kinds - exactly!!! You never really know what these guys are going to discuss next.
Thanks for the lovely comments and continued support. Please, please share the pod. It doesn't cost you anything and your friends are just missing out!!
39:5311/11/2021

S2 Ep5 Hot Jelly, Dicky Belly!!
This week the dads thought we'd turn it up a notch and turn it up they sure did! During this weeks episode the dad's attempt to get through with the help of some RED HOT jelly sweets. The facials are not to be missed...... Things continue "as normal" with the usual facts, facts, facts round and this week Andy tries to finally get one over on Leon - will he do it? History says no but listen and find out! Plonker of the pod returns with a doozy!!!
Thanks as always for all the support and love the dad's get, they are super appreciative for it. Keep listening, keep watching and I'm sure one day they'll actually be funny - here's hoping eh!!!
This weeks video is on YouTube where you can see exactly how the dad's held in their sweety strain. Feel free to have a look over there too.

S.2 Ep 3 We Go Deep!
Season 2 Episode 3 has the dad's back discussing some hot topics. As the dad's don't really do normal they flip this weeks podcast on it's head and do things unconventionally back to front. They start off discussing their individual "Plonkers of the Pod" and the discussions get deep - AND real!!!
Things get slightly "back to normal" when Leon and Andy set down their challenge for the Social Dadding Podcast guys. This one could be one NOT to miss!!
Leon brings back the small victories and like a bus, brings two at once.
Thanks as always for your continued support and love. Keep listening, keep smiling and if you feel the need to be nice - PLEASE share the podcast with a friend!

S2. Ep. 1 Jamaica - Yes!
S2. Ep 1 and into season 2, the dad's start off the podcast in their own inimitable way - with innuendo of course! After discussing the main topics such as if one sheep is a sheep then are multiple sheep called sheeps? The big issues are always discussed here!
Following a catch up of what "exciting" things the dad's have been getting up to Leon runs through the most outrageous holiday complaints - and only 3 of them were his!
A new season means only one thing..... new segments! The dads introduce their "Plonker of the Pod" and Andy tries to outwit Leon with his fact finder segment. have a listen to see if he could stump the big guy!

Ep 65 Social Dadding Tales
Its been a while since the Dad’s did any type of collaboration and this one’s definitely been worth the wait! Be warned though, there are some strong language here so if kids are listening don’t be surprised if they start repeating Dad Jokes!!
Dad Tales meets the Social Dadding podcast. We normally have two dad’s chatting rubbish, this week there’s four. The conversation goes in every direction and I’m pretty sure somewhere in the middle there may even be a little advice offered from their wisdom.
The best things about being a dad, excuses for not going to the gym, top tips, snoring and even a shock about Andy’s pot pig he had for sale.
Please take a comfy seat and have a listen!
Also, check out the Social Dadding Podcast on Spotify and itunes as well as following the guys on Instagram.
Enjoy
01:13:3319/08/2021
Ep 64 Myth Busters
Who would've ever thought that a conversation about being s&%t on by a bird could lead (mostly very smoothly) into a discussion about what sauce you put on your crisps?
We always say with these two dad's; expect the unexpected and you won't be disappointed - and who doesn't love a smelly finger?
The dad's try and comprehend myths this week as well as discuss some of the myths they lay down to their kids.
The English language takes a severe Dad Tales battering as per usual but all in good fun and denial!!
Big thanks to Kennings Building supplies this week as well as Sandra's Wedding for allowing us to use one of their fantastic tracks on out latest YouTube video. Check them out on Spotify!
46:1012/08/2021

Ep 62. A Whole Lot of Love and Frustration
Ep 62. Being a Dad comes with a lot of love and undoubted frustration. Now that is the case for normal Dad's but Andy and Leon are the exceptions to the rule. there's love for shrimp and Sean Bean as well as frustration from maths, gardening and Leon struggling with the £10 challenge.
The alternative Dad Tales Olympics event shave been set and these two Fathletes are about to do battle which will be definitely worth watching.
Andy has created yet another jingle and you can see this on the dadtales YouTube channel and TikTok. Head over there for a listen.

Ep. 60 The Reflection Section
This weeks jam packed episode starts off with reflection on the wedding of the year between Freckles and Heckles - Welcome to the family! Two star struck Dad's go weak at the knees when they bump into a listener - I think the Dad's were more pleased here.
A round up of the alternative Euro awards has Andy flabbergasted by her well dressed the football managers are. A bounce into Wimbledon (and banana eating), before a quick pitstop on the Tour De France and how impressive these sports are. The Dad's are now looking forward to the Olympics and possibly, could they do their own Dad Olympics? What do you think?
Leon thinks he can throw down a jingle challenge that Andy won't step up to - he's wrong. Check out the Instagram or Tik Tok for the Yorkshire Tea masterpiece.
Further topics included, Lola Ferrari, the buying challenge as well as Leon's Tip of the Week! Download and enjoy and feel free to get in touch with your suggestions/ comments and even the odd bit of praise - The guys LOVE it!!

Ep 58 The 3rd Eye
Ep 58 - Now if you want to listen to 2 grown men giggling immaturely then this is the episode for you. Leon starts by explaining evolution (or at least tries to - Andy's not the smartest person to explain these things to).
The dads fail to actually get around to this weeks topic and get carried away with outrageous new stories from around the globe. Leon starts with a tech story about a 3rd eye development to help people glued to their phones and Andy backs this up with a tale of an Indian man with a hareem of ladies and a litter of children - ALL living under one roof!!! Andy worries about his food bill and Leon can't understand where he gets all his apples from (not a euphemism).
There's a slow start to the new challenge but it would seem Leon's mind has been elsewhere - but yes you're right...... it is food related!!
Thank you for all the love and support. Please leave the dads a review on apple podcast and please share with your friends and family - You'll be the most popular person in town if you do!!
37:5301/07/2021
Ep 57. Too Much Telly
Welcome back!

Hit us up on social media https://instabio.cc/20816N5u9cx and let us know what you think! also, do you have any tips to combat too much telly??

Ep 56 Men's Health Week - Euro Gonna Enjoy This One!
It's Men's Health Week this week so the dads discuss what they do to look after both their mental and physical health as well as keeping themselves happy. The discussion (quite topically) gets on to football (soccer for you non-UK listeners) and the discussions get heated and before you know it, both have soaring blood pressure!
Andy did a little "Artistic licencing" on this weeks task which needs to be seen to be believed - credit to him though, he fought his corner. Check out the @Dadtales Instagram account for the evidence there.
The Dad's have asked if I can reiterate the importance of "checking in" with someone who you've not spoken to in a while. It might be something that really makes their day. be kind, be thoughtful and above always, keep smiling!!
44:2917/06/2021
Ep. 55 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Welcome back!
In this week episode, the dads ask the children "What is the best and worst thing about being your age" Leon is happy he is not 40! and his knees do not hurt!

Ep 52. How Much Support is too Much Support?
Ep 52 (Can you believe it) see's the dad's scrap their original plan of talking extra terrestrial life as the kids didn't want to play ball on this one, so in typical Dad Tales fashion, professionalism was maintained and the dad's produced another stunner. The pair, asked the question, "How much support do we give our children to help them succeed?" Things took many an unexpected turn along the way and Leon even made up his own words - nothing new there!!
After last weeks live episode Leon's challenge was bowled to Andy and the girls and it has to be said, they smashed it out of the park!! Check out the Instagram and Tik Tok for the finished project. Leon even said he was impressed (3 times) and he's generally not impressed by anything that he can't eat!
The gents finish off with a look at the weather following BBQ misery and let me just drop in a warning here (if you're still reading that is), there's nothing worse than listening to someone else's sad weather story - but these two are our pals so lets listen to the whole episode and laugh at their misery.
keep the feedback coming everyone, it really is appreciated. Email your questions/ suggestions/ comments or reviews to [email protected]

Ep 51. Special LIVE Episode
The dads went Live tonight on Instagram to celebrate their milestone of 50 (+1) because Andy can't count. Discussions with the listeners and lots of interactions with the listeners giving their input.
Leon went 3-0 up in the challenge stakes as his lamp beat Andy's attempt so he's called in the big guns - The girls!!! New challenges have been set and stay tuned for those results.
The podcast this week took an unusual turn towards "pegging rugs" which cant be explained without actually listening to this.
Thank you for all your support throughout the last year and keep your suggestions and comments rolling in.

Ep 49 Time Travellers
Episode 49 has the dads asking their kids where they would travel if they had a time machine. Before that fun discussion starts, the dads discuss Leon's birthday and if it's in the future or the past - the confusion doesn't end there!
Some of the kids would go to the future and some back in to the past. One things for sure, the answers the kids give are always gems!!
Discussions get deep and Andy and Leon have a special moment over them both wanting to be cowboys!!
No review this week as Andy had "technical issues" (he messed up) but he'll be back with that review soon.
The dads are busy preparing for their special LIVE 51st episode (turns out Andy can't count either) so if you'd like to join the dads on the 7th May at 8pm check out their Instagram page @dadtales.

Ep 47. DIY Dads
The dads try and be cool in front of their DIY expert mate in this weeks edition. Rob Fawcett from Raw Home is the guest this week and his amazing beard matches his fantastic DIY skills. Rob talks through his upcycling experiences as well as his current work on TV on BBC 2's Saved and Remade. Inspired (and possibly slightly delusional) the dads decide to go head to head in a "Lamp Challenge". Competing to produce the best functional lamp from something they've found around the home - if both manage to get through without losing fingers we'll all be happy!!
This weeks review is done by Andie who talks through the game Top Trumps. Andy cant manage to get through five minutes without cracking a fart gag either! we really shouldn't expect anything else from him.
There are HUUUUGEE lessons learnt from the dads this week - One gains "dad points" and the other fails badly - have a listen to see who's who!
Big thanks to everyone who's downloaded any episode, your support is greatly appreciated. Check out Rob's website www.raw-home.co.uk and follow him across the social media platforms. You can also catch him on BBC2 at 6:30pm on weekdays or catch up on the BBC iplayer.

Ep 45. School Chat
This weeks topic centres around school and specifically the transitions between schools. What were yours memories of that? Fear, excitement or just plain curiosity? Well, sit back and have a listen to what the dads experiences were as well as the famous 5 (the kids!).
These stories range from the school hall, wearing dads ugly blazer and being distracted by girls!
Andie (8) gives her thoughts on this weeks review topic which she chose to be fidgets! Listen to her detailed and enthusiastic explanation of what fidgets are - I don't know about you but I'm ordering one!
Andy does his homework (with a little bit of help from @lukecoxdecorators) to help Leon with his rusty paint dilemma and he still won't concede that shaking and stirring are two different things - its a good job he's not James Bond!
Thanks for the ongoing support with the dads, they truly appreciate it. Next weeks topic is all about discipline and promises to be a fantastic episode. If you want to get involved then email [email protected] or message the dads through any of the usual social media platforms.
Enjoy!

Ep 43. Acceptable Behaviour
Episode 43 has the dads discussing what things they did as children that they wouldn't want their kids doing now. The dads share their experiences of hammering wood and throwing bricks in the air - Exciting eh!!!
Another story well worth a listen is Leon's personal bus driver..... for those of you who know Leon personally won't be surprised by this one!
Little Andie flies solo on this weeks review and its a cracker!
Things turn awkward at the end when Andy calls out Leon claiming his Sunday roast will trump Leon's hands down..... Lets hope their differences can be resolved by next week when the dads will return to do it all again.
Feel free to contact the dads if you'd like to get involved. If you'd like to choose a topic, be a guest or just generally comment on anything the guys are doing email them on [email protected]

We have kept the reviews going and this week, we had an amazing review from Andie and Lexi on Birthdays, as there has been a big birthday celebrated recently.
After last weeks performance when Leon used the word "echelon" in the correct context, it was a surprise to the whole Dad Tales Family! Don't worry Leon is back to normal, creating his own words or butchering the fine English language.
