Dead Dad's Society

Howdy partners! Welcome along to the Dead Dad Society. I've got a wonderful guest this week and it's none other than Australian actor and all round legend Andy Ryan (Tomorrow, When the War Began / Love Child). Luckily for Andy his Dad is still with us but we continue the process of auditioning people to be my new Dad. We chat all about Andy's struggle with addiction, his experiences in the Australian entertainment industry and he even shares a never before shared story about being fired from Tomorrow, When the War Began. Andy has a show coming up at Giant Dwarf called Off The Piss - 24th and 26th September so grab tickets to that! Also follow him on the socials at @AndyRyanSyd - he's a bloody good egg! Warning: there are some topics in this episode that may be triggering to some people.

Joining me in the DDS this week is comedian and Fox Sports presenter Andrew 'Barney' Barnett. Barney has escaped The Professor's clutches and come to have a chat with me. He is the first guest on the podcast to still have an alive Dad (good for him) so I tee him up to be my new Dad. After Barney is finished teasing the room behind me we chat all things Fox Sports, Batman, stand up comedy and the we settle the Barney v Barno debate that has been raging (mainly in my head) Follow Barney at @mrabarnett and check out "The Professor and Barney Podcast" wherever you puts pods into your ears and on Kayo Sports.

The DDS is back in session and someone else showed up. The one week I don't buy any snacks and someone comes. This week I sit down with Sydney based, UK born rapper Bigredcap. The man behind our DDS intro song we sit down and chat Dad stories, parenting hacks and life in the pandemic as an artist. This is a wonderful episode with Reg really opening up about his younger years and losing his Dad.

Someone finally came! The Dead Dad Society has a roster. All the way from the U S of A it's comedian and actor Dan Soder (Billions) We chat all things Dead Dads, how to deal with the loss, why audiences freak out when you talk about death and even Dan's dog Myrtle makes a cameo. Watch Dan on Showtime's Billions, listen to him on The Bonfire on Comedy Central radio or follow him on the socials. He's a super funny comedian and has alot of insights into the DDS lifestyle.

Hey guys! We are back at the DDS. As with most therapy groups you don't always have to talk. You can ease your way into it but now I'm ready to talk. This episodes is an in depth look into my Dad's diagnosis, illness and our final months together. It gets deep but it's also a hoot. I am making a joke to deflect. Hope you enjoy!
