Triple M's Coasty is here - The $1,100 Cricket Ball Triple M's COASTY IS HERE… AND JACK'S ALREADY $1,100 IN THE HOLE. Triple M's Coasty joins Jack and Simon in the studio and quickly discovers just how professional the Dad & Son Podcast really is. Jack's brand-new school MacBook has had an unfortunate encounter with a cricket ball, leaving Simon with an $1,100 repair bill and Jack with a story that somehow involves a barking dog, elite hand-eye coordination and absolutely no responsibility whatsoever. 🏉 FINALS FEVER! Freo are gearing up for a massive qualifying final, five Dockers are All-Australians and Simon is daring to believe. Jack's worried about Brisbane, Coasty brings the odds and nobody wants to jinx anything. 🏉 THE BEARS ARE COMING. Coasty attempts to educate the boys on the NRL and Perth's new team — before Simon decides to call his "good mate" from rugby league live on air. It doesn't go well. 🏀 WILDCATS ARE LOADING. The new NBL season is around the corner, the boys talk preseason form and Coasty discovers there's a 16-year-old basketball prospect standing around 7'6". His advice? "What's to develop? You're tall enough. Get him out there." 🏃‍♂️ JACK CAN ACTUALLY RUN. He clocks the fastest Year 7 100m time at school and then casually ties for first in the high jump despite never having done it before. Simon is significantly more excited about this than Jack. Plus: Coasty's Getting to Know You, Milo in a wine glass, drop bears, petrol fumes, Die Hard vs Home Alone, Bryce Cotton's jersey potentially going up in flames and a proposed new Advent hoodie: "I Can't Catch a Cricket Ball." And finally, on the Dad & Son Podcast, Jack is asked what's special about this Sunday… He has no idea. Happy Father's Day, Simon. 😂 🎙️ The Dad & Son Podcast — Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.

THE BOYS ARE BACK. And apparently, DaSP has had a glow up. 🔥 Six years after Jack and Simon first fired up the microphones, DaSP 2.0 has officially arrived — new look, new sponsors, new producer… same absolute nonsense. Jack's now 13, launching his own clothing brand Advent, and somehow still being questioned by Dad about his maths. Simon's discovered golf and would desperately like everyone to care. Nobody does. Then it's time for sport — and Freo are MINOR PREMIERS. 💜⚓ Simon explains why this Fremantle side feels different, why Andrew Brayshaw might just be "Patient Zero" for the club's culture, and why 100 x 100-metre sprints on Christmas Day is completely unhinged behaviour. Across the Pacific, the 76ers have apparently gone completely nuclear. Jaylen Brown. LeBron. Philly. Simon celebrates Paul George's departure with all the restraint you'd expect. The Buffalo Bills have a new coach, the Wildcats are bringing back Angus Brandt, and Simon is already preparing the sledges for Trevor Gleeson's return. Meanwhile, DaSP welcomes its newest team member: Alfred — the AI house butler who's somehow gone from helping with homework to producing the podcast. Then things take a turn. Jack's school life is going nicely. Basketball program. New mates. Year 7. Oh… and Dad got an email. A basketball incident. A shove. A ripped shirt. Detention. Jack would like to appeal. Simon has reviewed the footage that doesn't exist and determined the contact was HIGH. INTENTIONAL. STRAIGHT TO THE TRIBUNAL. Case closed. 😂 Also this week: * 🍔 Jack gives McDonald's some suspiciously free advertising * 🥩 Black Iron BBQ gets the official DaSP chef's kiss * 👕 Advent gets its DaSP debut * ⛳ Simon attempts to turn DaSP into a golf podcast * 🏆 Freo start dreaming about their first flag * 🏀 Philly suddenly becomes a January holiday destination * 🇺🇸 Jack discovers America's portion sizes and immediately wants a Big Gulp * 🏈 The Bills enter the Joe Brady era * 🐱 The Wildcats welcome back Angus Brandt * 🤖 Alfred joins Team DaSP * 🚨 Carlton provides genuine breaking news mid-podcast * 🏫 Jack fronts the DaSP Tribunal * 📣 And approximately half of Jack's school gets a shout-out

Jack starts high school. Freo kick eight goals early and still lose in Geelong. The Wildcats battle through playoff injuries at RAC Arena. The Sixers are running an NBA injury ward. And somehow the Dad & Son Podcast accidentally creates the greatest guest list in podcast history. *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-WEB:668322f1-b860-440e-bb71-90f4edea6fff-6" data-testid= "conversation-turn-14" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> AFL Opening Round The AFL season kicks off and Jack and Simon dive into the chaos of Round Zero. They break down: Why the AFL created an Opening Round Freo's explosive start against Geelong What went wrong after kicking eight goals in the first quarter Whether Fremantle can actually contend this season Simon's prediction: Top four this year, flag contention soon. Fremantle Watch Jack asks the big questions about the Dockers: Is Murphy Reid the next Freo star? Why does Fremantle move the ball quickly early but slow down under pressure? Can the Dockers actually win a premiership soon? Plus a reminder that Jack technically attended the 2013 Grand Final… as a nine-month-old baby. Wildcats Playoff Drama Jack and Simon head to RAC Arena to watch the Wildcats in the playoffs. They discuss: Christian Doolittle winning Wildcats MVP Injuries hurting Perth late in the season The impact of playing without a true point guard Ben Henshall stepping up in big moments David Duke Jr's tough shooting night Simon also explains his courtside strategy — trying to get inside the opposition players' heads. RAC Arena Food Review An important piece of game analysis. The verdict on stadium food: The RAC Arena chips are elite. Especially with the creamy aioli. NBA Corner – Sixers Chaos The Philadelphia 76ers are dealing with a brutal injury run. The issues include: Joel Embiid injuries Tyrese Maxey sidelined Paul George struggling Kelly Oubre injured Jack's Rookie of the Year pick: VJ Edgecombe. Simon's assessment of the Sixers front office: "Daryl Morey… first class clown." Life Update – Jack Starts High School Jack has officially started Year 7 at Shenton College. They talk about: The first weeks of high school New teachers and classes The idea of getting the school principal on the podcast Embassy Update Simon shares news from The Embassy restaurant, including: The popular garlic sizzling prawns The launch of the Embassy by Devlin's YouTube channel A personal challenge to lose weight The Greatest Podcast Guest List Ever During the episode the boys accidentally build a very ambitious guest list. Potential guests now include: Mr Morgan (Shenton College principal) Mason Cox Jesse Wagstaff John Longmuir Danny Wells Paul George Stella (superfan listener) Listener Shoutouts The episode wraps with shoutouts to listeners, friends and supporters of the podcast.

We Tried to Go to America… Instead We Got Stranded in Sydney The ESTA disaster that blew up our US trip… recording the podcast from a Sydney airport hotel room… courtside chaos at Hoops Fest… the awkward Allen Iverson encounter… Jack loses Dad's Meta Ray-Bans in Iverson's seat… the Wildcats go on a five-game heater… and Jack finally finishes Year 6.

Dad & Son Podcast – Ep. 31: "Jack's Tips, Wildcat Tears & Swimming Fails" We came, we saw, we (barely) swam. The boys are back again—three pods in three weeks—which is officially a record and possibly a cry for help. This week, Jack and Simon wrestle with tech troubles, ring Ruby out of nowhere, and try to emotionally process Bryce Cotton's bombshell. Here's what's on the menu: 🎥 Lights, camera… chaos – New camera setup thanks to Camera Electronics, but only one Jack and not enough jacks. You do the math. 📞 Ruby (sort of) answers – She thought it was an emergency. It was. The podcast is always an emergency. Special cameo by Amelia, who instantly becomes a DASP fan favourite. 🏀 Josh Giddey pulls off an NBA miracle – Steals, dimes, a half-court walk-off… and commentary that deserves an Oscar. 🏉 Western Derby wash-up – Dockers own it, Sorong gets his fourth Glendinning, Brayshaw shanks one, and West Coast is... well, not great. 🧠 Jack's Tips™ are back – If you bet your pocket money on him last week… sorry. But this week, he's got bold calls: North over Sydney, Carlton over Collingwood, and Port for Harlow. 😢 Wildcats heartbreak – Bryce Cotton's leaving. Jack's in denial, Simon's in conspiracy mode, and Kendrick Davis is labelled a flog. It's fine. We're fine. 🏊 Jack at the swimming carnival – Came last in every race and still showed up. That's grit. That's DASP. 🎭 Assembly antics – Paparazzi Jack in a suit, Ruben does Trump, Simon pitches a full-room interview special. 🗣️ Shoutouts – Big love to Room 18, the Tay's, Finn Freytag, Mr Porteous, Miss Maul, and anyone surviving footy tipping this year. Classic DASP: jokes, sport, and sibling ambush calls—served hot from Little Team Dev Studios. 🎙️ Listen now. Laugh lots. Maybe cry a little about Bryce.

Live from Little Team Dev Studios... It's way too early, but the Dad and Son Podcast doesn't care! Simon's chugging his pre-morning sports drink (who knew cyclists did breakfast?) while Jack's crunching on Vegemite toast. Freo Heartbreak: The boys hit up the game and scored epic locker room seats, thanks to Dad's mate Mace Turco—shoutout! Jack even scored a high-five from Michael Frederick (which was more touches than he got on the field, to be honest). Damo Drops In: Surprise guest alert! Damien Martin jumps on the line mid-morning chaos—kids yelling, breakfast battles—but still drops some inside scoop on Freo and NBL grand final vibes. Illawarra clinches it, and Matthew Dellavedova gives MVP honors to Will Hickey in pure class mode. F1 Frenzy: Piastri cleans up at the Chinese Grand Prix, while Yuki Tsunoda's gunning for a Red Bull upgrade—and being hilariously honest about it. The Red Bull drama continues as drivers fight to keep their seats. AFL Antics: Jack's footy tips are… questionable. Hawthorn proves him right, but Collingwood smashes his Bulldogs pick, and Essendon gets obliterated. Jack's tipping track record? Let's just say it's a gamble. NBA Buzz: Josh Giddey on fire—dropped 22 points, 17 assists, 13 boards, and 8 steals. Meanwhile, Dyson Daniels is locking down Defensive Player of the Year vibes, and the Bulls are leaning on Giddey after trading away Zach LaVine. Shoutouts: Room 17 legends, Ruby for dodging the phone call (classic), and Mr. Porteous for keeping the class in line while secretly letting the pod play for a minute. Coming Soon: Cameras in the studio! You'll get to see Simon's desk mess and Jack's breakfast chaos live on YouTube. Stay tuned for more unscripted mayhem and off-the-cuff banter!
