  • FIRST THINGS FIRST - OUR KIDS BOOK IS FINALLY AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER HERE!

    It's a tale of two dads trying to catch up one one thing always gets in the way - the kids. We wrote as a story for kids that parents will also love.

    In other news, we all know that sexy time is a rare treat after having kids.

    Daddy needed his special time this week; however, some of us had to wait a little longer for it.

    Matt tolerates Ash's gripe and welcomes back his wife, Laura, with open arms, but things take a turn when he doesn't get what he wants.

    Ash has had a particularly GOOD week all around if you know what I mean * wink *. He also took Oscar to his first footy game, and it turns out he's a good luck charm! The only downside to Ash's week was being mistaken for a predator at a park...But let's not focus on the negative!

  • Big breath in, big breath out!

    Matt is solo parenting this week, and the kids are running an absolute muck while Mum is away. Lola's 3 AM wake-up calls have left Matt sleep-deprived, causing accidental moments like reaching for two-week-old milk for breakfast 🤮

    Ash, on the other hand, is running after Macy, who's escaped to a place he can't go. Meanwhile, his son Oscar has a black eye, and you'll never guess how it happened...

  • Matt and Ash hate the Easter long weekend.

    Kids are jacked up on sugar, daycare charges you the public holiday, and you can't escape it because the roads are packed full of other families trying to escape.

    The only upside is that the calories don't count during Easter.

    Ash takes the family to the Royal Easter Show, entering with the best intentions but leaving as a very full man.

    Matt is trying to find time to have sex longer, but life is getting in the way. In an unrelated topic, he also shares his personal experience with gender disappointment.

  • A silent killer is taking on innocent nanas!

    Matty J arrives home with Nana Johnson and the kids in tow. Unfortunately, Nana makes the fatal mistake of exclaiming aloud, 'Well, that was pretty painless!' Matt isn't prepared for what will happen next.

    Meanwhile, April is away for work, which means Ash is the primary parent of two kidlets. It's time to bring in backup—mum!

  • James and Clair Buckley's parenting life began when they first met in their early twenties.

    At that time, James was filming a movie spinoff about the popular TV show The Inbetweeners.

    Imagine their surprise when they found out Clair was pregnant after only six months of knowing each other!

    Matt and Ash chat to James and Clair about what it's like to raise kids in England and all the other things that come with being a Buckley.

  • Matt and Ash are back on home soil after a week in Vegas and missing the kids.

    Matt shares his experience watching The Weasel (AKA Ash) on full display in Las Vegas. When he finally gets home and returns to the game of parenting, his sweet children test his form and throw him several curveballs.

    Ash takes the title of The Weasel seriously whilst in Vegas and makes some of the greatest weasel moves known to man. Unlike Matt, he doesn't return to his kids but a pitstop on the south coast.

  • It's spaghetti bolognese night at the Johnson household again, except a new ingredient has been added to the menu...

    No one prepares you for this when you become a parent.

    Matt also has a new trick up his sleeve to make Lola love him, inspired by Pavlov's dog.

    After a wild night at the Blink 182 concert, Ash realises that he can no longer handle hangovers like he used to in his pre-parenting days.

  • How much are you willing to spend on a fruit salad platter?

    Last weekend, Lola turned the big three.

    When it rains, it pours, leaving poor Lola afraid that no one will turn up to her party, but even Ash makes the trek. Matt may have left the catering at the last minute and may have also spent waaay too much on a fruit platter.

    Ash is dealing with a gremlin child who crawls into Mum and Dad's bed every night. Oscar has somehow managed to smuggle a foreign crunchy object into the bed that freaks out Ash.

    Oh, and Matt has a new toy to add to his bug-killing collection.

  • The plan for today's ep definitely wasn't to talk about shit nonstop.. but here we are. Apologies !

    Macy is in the running for a world record for largest poop (based on poop to body weight ratio). There's actually a semi blurred image that we'll put on socials if you're brave enough to look. No judgment. Ash had a little shart incident over the weekend, which (credit to him) hasn't happened in a little while. Thoughts and prayers to his Uber driver.

    Matt and Laura took the kids to a great new park. Unfortunately it was cut short as Laura's coffee went right through her and the park didn't have toilets. Also worth mentioning that Lola still hates Matt but he's trying his best to turn things around.

    We chat about life before kids, dating, how she new her husband was 'the one', the reality of parenthood, tips for dads, juggling three kids and plans for the future.

  • Ash has reached his Facebook marketplace limit - he now flat out refuses to have any involvement with his wife's transactions. He's even gone as far as locking himself in the toilet when he hears a buyer knock on the door. Good news is April's never made more money flogging off their old furniture.

    One of Matt's mottos when it comes to parenting is 'always follow the path of least resistance'. Over the weekend, this path led him down to his local cafe with Lola who brought along a slightly inappropriate item with her. Turns out Lola is into BDSM.

  • We start this episode with an update regarding Lola's hatred of her dad - the poor, desperate, lonely Matty J. You know which dad has kids that don't hate him - Ash.

    It might be because he's an all-round great guy or maybe it's the fact that he's saved his kids countless times from the ferocious animals that reside in Warriewood (geckos). Also worth noting that he caught and released a mouse during the week. Doctor Dolittle eat ya heart out.

    Matt found himself in an awkward situation at the park during the week after some school girls tried to sell him some cake. Only issue is that he didn't have cash and they didn't accept card. The solution? Matt asked for their home address so he could drop some money in their letterbox. As you can imagine - it didn't go down well.

  • We're bloody lucky to be releasing this ep today - whilst Ash was mid-jog through the lovely streets of Warriewood, he was approached and threatened by none other than... Mr Freeze himself !!! Luckily he runs like the wind and survived to tell the tale. Ash has also found a New Years resolution list that is arguably one of the world's best.

    Matt has moved into the bach pad (spare room downstairs) after Laura contracted mild pneumonia and a horrendous cough. Dont worry.. after many sleepless nights, Matt is finally feeling much better. Happy to also confirm Laura made a full recovery.

  • WE'RE BACK BABY !

    Matt's transition into Ash has continued as he realised that Christmas is actually the most stressful time of the year and he's happy to see the back of it. The fact that he and Laura decided to remove Lola's dummy during this month might have had something to do with it. For reference, it's going terribly.

    As you can imagine, Ash had a lovely time with his extended family during Christmas. As he always says - the more family, the better! Nan had nothing but praise in regards to the new calendar she brought to the senior citizens clubs (ps there's still 40 left online). Although Ash did have to reprimand her for a word she called Oscar at a public pool.

  • It's our last ep of the year! Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened. But fear not, we'll be back in Jan with more parenting tales.

    In today's ep, Matt has been struggling with Lola who has had her dummies ripped from her life. They took the cold turkey approach, which went down like a lead ballon. Ash has had another run in with a mouth salesman (dentist) who tried to sell in a crown for Oscar. Not on Ash's watch!

    Just when Matt thought the meltdowns were ending, a lovely family trip to the RSL turned sour when they bought tickets to the Christmas raffle and lost. Serenity now!

  • Lots to get through in this ep - she's bloody jammed packed!

    Firstly, Ash's haemorrhoids are back and he's shittng out leaves. We've launched the world's (unofficial) sexiest calendar - Choreplay 2024. Entering the calendar industry hasn't been smooth sailing e.g we left it bloody late to get them printed before Christmas, printed prices are at an all time high and being sexy for 12 photos is exhausting. Good news is that there's still a few left online if you want to be slightly aroused.

    Matt gets to the bottom of why Ash hates Christmas and pin points it down to the fact that he never had a Christmas tree as a child. Also, Macy has just started assaulting all members of the house (mostly Oscar).

    We share your best Ordinary Parenting stories as well as have a crack at answering your listener questions:

    Ash - is it difficult sending Oscar to two different daycares with friends and routine?Is having kids expensive and does it get any better?

  • It's another bonus ep. And we know what you're thinking. Shit, these boys dish out more bonus eps than Ash gets hemorrhoids. You're absolutely right. And for that we say, you're welcome.

    Today we sit down with radio star, comedian and tv host - Nick Cody. We chat about how he accidentally became the nanny of two kids when he was a teenager, disciplining American kids at summer camp, why he thought he'd never be a dad, the nightmare of juggling a new born and morning radio, why he got off the grog for a year and the best part of road tripping around Victoria with his two boys.
