They also share humorous and relatable anecdotes about parenting mishaps and the importance of balancing discipline and support.
Host Tim Vincent and regular panelists Mick Ferry and Russell Kane are back. This time they're discussing their successes as Dads and admit to some of their biggest failings.
What would they say their biggest success has been in raising their children? What's it like when your children achieve a level of success most could only dream of? Is there anything they found they really struggled with? And is there anything they feel they may have let their children down with?
"Mick and Russell's Dad Off" sees our two regular Likely Dads reveal how they'd handle certain hypothetical parentings scenarios - meanwhile the panel is asked to deduce the source of some anonymous facts from within the group. This week, our panellists are asked to decipher which of our Likely Dads once called the local maternity unit to speak to the "milk-bank".
Joining Tim, Mick and Russell this week are broadcaster Nihal Arthanayake and comedian Dominic Holland.
Producers: Kurt Brookes and Ashley Byrne.
