The Ripple Effect Podcast

Real Talk With Dave & Marsh #19

Raw, honest, and unfiltered (with fewer profanities than usual). Dave and Marshall dig into the tension between authenticity and self-control, then dive deep on co-parenting roadblocks, parental alienation, and the “energy vampire” cycle—financial drain, emotional chaos, and trauma bonds. Practical ways to set boundaries, keep your sanity, and model strength for your kids.

Golf shirts, dating disasters, and a story involving way too many guinea pigs — this episode has it all.
Dave and Marshall swap wild travel tales from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, talk about the “back nine” in more ways than one, and open up about family court, co-parenting, and learning to laugh through the madness.
It’s the perfect mix of humour and heart — Aussie banter meets real-life healing.

Healing Through Laughter: Telstra towers, union days & “Loose Bruce” lore
Dave & Marshall are in rare form — telling wild worksite stories (yes, radio linesmen and 45°C outback jobs), having a laugh about “Loose Bruce,” and then swerving straight into the real talk: fatherhood, co-parenting, boundaries, and why kids need stability more than adult egos. It’s equal parts pub yarns and practical wisdom.

Real Talk With Dave & Marsh #14

Gold chains, big laughs, bigger honesty. Dave and Marsh salute the AusPost crew at Redbank Plains, swap an old-school trucking story, and talk plainly about drugs, alcohol, gambling, and how today’s testing culture changed the game. They also unpack “manifesting” more work and the realities of raising high-energy kids without labels.
The back half gets raw: co-parenting through conflict, missing milestones, family court frustration, and how to stay grounded—stoicism, gratitude, and creating a home kids return to.
Topics: trucking life then vs now; use vs abuse; alcohol as a depressant; gambling’s silent creep; manifesting; parenting energetic kids; mediation/court; staying steady for your kids.

The Hammer Files - Episode 3

Mark “The Hammer” Dixon is back to the mic with candid pub stories and the characters who shaped them. We open playfully—shirts, online tee rabbit holes, and moonlit “grounding”—before moving into two true stories: one addressing confronting conduct around children (content warning) and another involving a near-catastrophic arrest outside a pub.
We discuss accountability, healing through laughter, and the importance of hearing the full story—not just a soundbite.
