Episode 1- with Paxon

Episode 2 with Owen

In this episode of Lads and Dads, Declan teams up with his friend Owen and their dads for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and surprisingly thoughtful. It kicks off with big imagination like rewriting house rules and dreaming up wild creations before shifting into stories from childhood and lessons learned along the way. The dads share some real perspective, the kids keep things unpredictable, and the whole thing lands in a meaningful conversation about building your life on something solid. Add in a little friendly competition at the end, and you’ve got an episode that’s fun, honest, and full of personality without ever quite knowing what’s coming next.

Episode 1- with Paxon

Welcome to the very first episode of Lads & Dads. In this debut conversation, Josh sits down with his son Declan—and special guests Paxon and his dad Danny—for a fun, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious look at life through both kid and parent lenses. After some classic get-to-know-you questions (favorite games, childhood memories, and a brutally honest funniest-moment-of-the-week), the lads spin the wheel and dive headfirst into a surprise topic that sparks big opinions, playful debate, and unexpected wisdom. Along the way, the crew wrestles with questions about trends, money, contentment, and why wanting “more” never really seems to satisfy. The episode closes with a meaningful reflection on gratitude, perspective, and how dads and kids can have deeper conversations that actually matter. Lighthearted, honest, and full of heart, this episode sets the tone for what Lads & Dads is all about: big ideas, small frustrations, and conversations worth having—together.

And so... it begins...

Welcome to Lads & Dads. A dad, a lad, a spinning wheel, and conversations about life—big ideas, small frustrations, and everything in between. This first episode introduces the heart behind the show and why these conversations matter.
