Rob Sitch is not only a prolific creator of some of Australia's most beloved comedy characters, TV shows and films, he is also one of the very first friends that Hamish got to see dadding up close.
Many years ago, backstage on Thank God You Are Here, and well before his own dadding journey started, Hamish started talking to Rob about his philosophies on being a parent, and so it is only fitting that Rob is on the first episode of How Other Dads Dad.
A father of 5 with 21 years of parenting under his belt, Rob shares with Hame some of his hard-earned wisdom, they discuss the things that kids never don't love, and Rob shares how parts of his own childhood inspired the now legendary Aussie Dad - Darryl Kerrigan from The Castle.
