D.A.D

D.A.D. is the titular character of John's Sunday ongoing story, Divorced Aussie Dad. During each stream, the audience immerses themselves via participation as the collective children on visitation, spending time with D.A.D. as we see his ongoing struggle to be the best D.A.D he can be. D.A.D or Divorced Aussie Dad is generally seen on Sundays between 12PM and 2PM, although there have been rare D.A.D.A.D occurrences, Divorced Aussie Dad After Dark. D.A.D. was originally created on March 3rd 2020 during a stream in which John was building the Spinny Gaming Chair, the same chair went on to be come The Chairman.

D.A.D's New Year's resolution on 31/12/2020 was "To continue to do right by me kids."

2021 Sunday Lunch With Yer D.A.D

### D.A.D's Special Apple Juice

D.A.D really likes special apple juice but he says he's not allowed to share it with us because it's just for grown-ups!

### Games

#### Lego:

Sometimes when we're at D.A.D's we get to play with Lego and have been slowly building one big, really cool Lego model out of lots of smaller Lego sets. We used a TIE-Fighter set with a London bus set to create the TIE-Bus (it can fly through space!) and then we used a 'Lord of the Rings' set to make it into a party bus with a little Lego D.A.D on top! I wonder what we'll do with it next...

#### Spinny Chair:

He has a spinny chair that he spins us round and round on if we've been good but you do have to try really hard not to get sick - he even once threw us off the chair. :(

#### The Floor Is Lava:

D.A.D loves to play 'The Floor Is Lava' with his kids, he puts his kids in safe places on top of furniture and then climbs around to help them get safely down again.

#### HIDE!

Whenever we can't actually see D.A.D, we all run and hide around the house [post where you're hiding in the chat], then D.A.D has to find us!

#### Marble Run:

It took D.A.D 6 whole weeks to build us the really cool marble run but it was totally worth the wait, and it was ready in time for **Noodles4321's** birthday!

## Our Various Uncles and Aunts...

### Uncle Carlos

Sends strange packages to D.A.D that we are told not to mess with, even though it just looks like flour and we want to bake with it. Sometimes kids tell D.A.D they have had a message off Uncle Carlos - D.A.D is never happy about this.

### Uncle Freako

Uncle Freako was sent to prison without parole after being found guilty of armed robbery. This was after a misunderstanding by Uncle Freako of D.A.D's request for help in holding up a gas station when trying to show his strength to his kids. His sentence got extended after he tried to assist Uncle Carlos with distribution inside prison. He is now in solitary confinement whilst waiting to see how much his sentence is going to be extended by. Uncle Freako moved into the cupboard under the stairs.

### Uncle Terry

Is a bum sausage.

Terry is also an architect with a long, black beard.

D.A.D punched Uncle Terry in August 2020. D.A.D told Uncle Terry about Uncle James. Uncle Terry was Mum's special friend but has since gone missing. D.A.D sometimes mentions that the kids will not see Terry ever again, and looks wistfully into the distance.

(19/09/2021) We found out today that D.A.D. spoke to Uncle Freako about how Terry was upsetting mum. We finally realised that Uncle Terry is dead, and we were all very upset and worried. There was a worry about D.A.D. getting caught and going to prison again. D.A.D. pointed out that he hadn't done anything wrong. D.A.D. said that all he did was ask Uncle Freako to have a word with Uncle Terry, but then Uncle Freako had lots of words with Uncle Terry and now Uncle Terry was gone forever. Mum asked D.A.D. to ask Uncle Freako to have a word. So then we worried it was Mum's fault and that mum would get into trouble as well. D.A.D. really thought we already knew, and was very surprised that we didn't. He was also upset that we were upset and tried his best to calm us down, reassuring us as best he could whilst telling the truth.

###### 19/12/2021 XMAS SPECIAL Terry Update

Northern Mum turned up at DAD's and told us that Terry's body has been found by the police! (This is the cliff hanger ending for Season 2 of DAD, Season 3 coming in 2022!)

### Assorted other Uncles and Aunts

#### Uncle Tim, Uncle Kevin, Aunty Linda, Uncle James

Mum has various "friends" along the way. Uncle Terry was around for a while but subsequently disappeared. Uncle James was a TV repair man who taped over VGN with beach volley ball.

## Mum

"D.A.D often tells us that our Mother is a lovely woman, and she must be at least a little bit because she drives us over to D.A.D's every week!"

Mum drops the kids off to see D.A.D as per the court order, he gets them for two hours on a Sunday, and then she collects them again. Mum is from Yorkshire. Sometimes it looks like Mum and D.A.D will get back together, D.A.D certainly seems to want that to happen, and most of the kids do as well.

SLWYD: Mum's Christmas Song For D.A.D

Fellow Twitch streamer **Octavius\_King** has played our Mother on multiple streams.

###### 19/12/2021 XMAS SPECIAL:

MUM texted Dad for the first time in a year. DAD was clearly more into MUM than MUM was into DAD. MUM and DAD sang Fairytale of New York together when MUM stumbled in drunk in a pretty pink dress. DAD tried to hug MUM but MUM wasn't keen and was acting awkward, DAD said well we are still married and MUM said no we aren't and DAD realised that it was maybe a bit more awkward than he thought. Finally MUM dropped a bombshell on DAD that Uncle Terry's body had been found by police.

## Nanna/Nannatron

It's your Nanna - D.A.D's mum (starring John's actual mum) usually appears in chat on a Sunday to chat with D.A.D and the "kids", she usually has lollies for us all in the form of jelly babies in her pockets, and she sends D.A.D care packages that include things for the "kids" as well. And for a very special Sunday lunch with your D.A.D on the 18th September 2022 we got to see Nannatron and D.A.D together in Nanna's kitchen. D.A.D somehow got permission from Northern MUM and the courts to take us to Australia to see our Nanna, and he must have smuggled us in his suitcase because with so very many kids he would have needed two or three planes to take us all.

Watch the V.O.D here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1594356046?filter=archives&sort=time

## Kids

*It's you -* But don't get confused, you are not Darren.

It's also the rest of the Twitch chat, who are all your siblings; Mum must drive a pretty big bus!

D.A.D is the father of everyone in chat on Sundays. The Mods/Admin Team are the older siblings and everyone else is younger. Some of D.A.D's kids are animals notably there are puppies, cats, a raven, a fox, an octopus, dragons, etc so whenever one of the kids asks for a pet D.A.D turns around and says you already have pets.

## D.A.D's Tattoo

D.A.D went to Manchester to try to get some work, he drank too much coping juice and the next day he woke up with a picture on his arm, he called it a tat-too. No we aren't allowed to colour it in - it's still too stingy, but D.A.D said maybe he will let us when its all healed up. He said at the moment it feels like a bunch of angry bees inside his skin. D.A.D also taught us about Cocoa Butter which apparently isn't a food - it smells delicious, like choccy, but we aren't allowed it on toast. D.A.D put the choccy butter all over his arm and said it would help the drawing owwie get better sooner. (Some of us tried to lick D.A.D's arm but D.A.D said its more like a scratch and sniff, but he didn't like it when some of us kids scratched him to see if it made the smell stronger.)

## D.A.D's Cooking

"He makes us chippies and sometimes cakes and biccies and jelly and all sorts of food. He isn't always the best cook but it all tastes great because D.A.D made it!"

Generally speaking D.A.D cooks something for his kids, his cooking efforts often have *interesting* results, resulting in the kids getting Macca's that Sunday. D.A.D has told us that some foods are "Looking foods, not eating foods".

All of D.A.D's food is "magic food" meaning that it is safe for everyone whether they are allergic, or have religious or dietary restrictions.

Classic D.A.D meals include Steak with Chippies and Chicken Salt, Chippies with Bacon, Cheese, Chicken Salt and Hot Sauce, and Chocolate and Bacon cookies.

1. Chicken Salt - D.A.D loves chicken salt so much he puts it on almost all foods (even dessert sometimes). Chicken Salt is a seasoning used in Australia on top of chips from the takeaway. It's apparently available everywhere in Australia. It is now available in the UK. D.A.D loves it and tells his kids how important it is. D.A.D also makes the best chippies with chicken salt, bacon, cheese and hot sauce.
2. Sugar - D.A.D loves to fill his kids full of sugar, including biccies, and sweets
3. Pepsi Max - D.A.D's favourite drink and he lets his kids have as much as they want during their visit with him.

## D.A.D's Strength

"Our D.A.D is also very strong and once even managed to hold up an entire garage!"

D.A.D is clearly the strongest and bestest D.A.D, he can break eggs with his arm muscles and is too strong for the Masher. He picks his kids up and carries them with ease and he once held up an entire gas station.

### Pan-Dad

Pan-Dad was originally a short lived character that came from a viewer sending John an inflatable panda costume. The D.A.D character got dressed in the costume and performed a dance for his kids to make them laugh. Pan-Dad came to a gruesome end during a The Dark Room stream on twitch when John broke the zip and got stuck in the costume. This resulted in John having to tear his way out of the costume to be able to finish the show. There has been talk in the community on whether to send in another costume to John or whether it should be left as it is and just be a one time thing for the ages.

Pan-Dad 2.0 was created in early 2021 when a viewer sent John another inflatable panda costume with a more accessible zip. D.A.D. can summon Pan-Dad when the kids are upset or whenever he chooses to. Farting in the panda suit is not recommended.

## Mumpkin and D.A.D-O'Lantern

The Sunday before Halloween (24/10/2021) D.A.D carved pumpkins with us kids, and while some of us kids built Fort Pumpkin in the background. The wonderful results of this chaos were the Mumpkin and D.A.D-O'Lantern Pumpkins.

## Prison

D.A.D has been to prison in the past, he doesn't talk about it much, so we don't know a lot about it. He is doing his best for his kids, always looking for work, but usually only seems to get short term employment.

## D.A.D's Kid's Favourite Memories (Community Member's best bits)

Stegligs: "The first time he hosted a birthday party, I think it was for the lovely Dr. Noodles."

WitchAngelNekora: "I... Really don't have a favorite other than the cat cake back in March. Wait, i lied. PanDAD's debut was my favorite, cause we saw him at his most cutest... Even though he struggled to get up after doing wrestling stuff~ That was adorable. ^^"

Vultmog: "I loved when we discovered the spinny chair :-)"

Gracie Among The Stars: "Honestly I cant pick a favorite but if I did I would say the Christmas episode"

Dokuro: "One of my favourite moments was when M.U.M play the song that she wrote for D.A.D, that gave a real punch to the feels that day for me."

CompleteTwit: "D.A.D.s TikTok (or BokBok)"

Purrdence: "Duck Cake!"

JasonC: "I'd agree with the Christmas episode, so if I had to pick another memorable moment - it would be the **special bonus round** - also known as the Mega Burger there are clips from Vultmog in this channel from September 2020. (And it haunted us for many weeks after as D.A.D. kept pulling it from the freezer)"
