  • Ash is holding down the Wicks household, and everyone is as sick as a dog, so Dad is getting little sleep.

    But if Manly invites you to their awards night, you must go! Matty J and Ash were lucky to attend the Sea Eagles' honorary event, but they couldn't believe who they sat next to.

    Meanwhile, Matt is pulling his hair out from the chaos that comes with house renovations. He can't tell the difference between a White Wave and a French Cream either!

    To top it all off, Ash is flabbergasted to hear his friend's 3-year-old has been kicked out of dance class.

  • Matt has broken his pinky toe, and it turns out it's the one thing keeping the 38-year-old dad upright. He would like some sympathy, but no one is giving it to him.

    Ash has moved into what can only be described as an acreage—no, but he does have a big backyard. The new house is great, but there is only one little quirk, and that's the death drop at the end of the driveway.

    Oh, and Matt takes the girls to the footy for the first time, but he's unsure whether they liked it or not - you be the judge!

  • Lara Pitt is a seasoned sports journalist at Fox Sports, covering the NRL, and a doting mum to three boys—Lachlan, Cooper, and Hamish.

    She never expected motherhood to mean sharing her bed with all three boys every night!

    In this episode, Lara opens up about her experience after giving birth for the first time, sharing the unexpected challenges she faced. Not only did she face the rollercoaster of postpartum, but Lara was also dealing with an undiagnosed Postpartum thyroiditis that made her feel like life was in turbo mode.

    Plus, she dropped a surprise halfway through our chat, leaving Matt bright red!

  • It's Book Week: When parents either shine or hit their breaking point.

    Matt and Ash are the parents who almost hit their breaking point.

    Can someone tell me who decided to make it a week rather than a day?!

    Meanwhile, while all this is happening, Matt takes Marlie and Lola to their Fa's funeral and juggles the many confusing emotions that come with that.

  • Former footy player and Fox commentator, Braith Anasta, was a teenage sports prodigy. He seemed to have it all - a loving and supportive family and professional sports career on the horizon.. but his world came crashing down when he was 15 and his father tragically took his own life.

    Braith opens up about the nightmare moment that came without any warning, the impact this had on his teenage years and how it shaped his life as a footballer, a man and as a dad.

    He also talks about the challenges of having to navigate parenting two kids (10-year-old Aleeia and 7 year old Gigi) from two separate relationships.

  • Ash has returned from his trip galavanting across the seven seas - well actually, just one sea en-route to Vanuatu. Whilst on an island, he and the family were treated to an amazing cultural experience with a tribe. Turns out, probably not the best activity for a 3 year old.

    Matt is battling to get his girls to gymnastics at the moment and just when he convinced Lola there's nothing cooler than a back walkover full twist on a beam, she tripped and ate bitumen. She's only just started to walk again after extensive rehabilitation.

  • A few months ago Matt and Ash had the brilliant idea to sign up to the City 2 Surf with the kids. What an amazing experience it'd be for the family (they told themselves). Walking all the way from the city to the iconic Bondi Beach with 90,000 others - including the kids in the pram - it's be something their familiar who never forget !

    Only problem was, Ash had to stay at Matt's the night before and Oscar got attacked (only kidding) by the cat, their taxi didn't arrive in the morning, the pram got a flat trye, they almost missed the start and one of the dad forget to bring water. BUT the good news it.. the finished the race just a casual 3 hrs later.

  • Firstly, HUGE congrats to Cayla for winning a bronze medal with the Opals at the Paris Olympics!!! We're so bloody proud of you!!

    Balancing a basketball career alongside being a mother to little Pearl, Cayla has faced unique challenges, including fertility struggles and the difficulties of finding the "right time" to fall pregnant.

    She shares candidly her experiences with period irregularities, a tough IVF round, and the heartwarming practice of "Kupai Omasker," which allowed her and her husband, Kailou, to adopt their daughter, Pearl, from her sister-in-law in October 2022.

If you're confused on what a 'raveller' is.. you're not the only one. For reference, Ash is the raveller. Matt's a folder but he's just discovered Marlie is a scruncher. The horror !

  • Ellidy Pullin is the co-host of the popular podcast DARLING, SHINE!, a model, author, and, of course, mum to little Minnie Alex Chump.

    In 2020 Ellidy's partner, Chumpy, died in a tragic spearfishing accident on the coast of Palm Beach. Fifteen months after she lost the love of her life, she was able to give birth to his baby through posthumous sperm retrieval and IVF treatment.

    Ellidy is the sort of person who lights up a room and talking to her is like chatting to a best mate. We loved this conversation and were in absolute awe at her incredible strength and resilience in managing grief as well as providing such a loving and nurturing environment for her daughter Minnie.

  • It's great to have you with us for another week of parenting bliss! insert sarcasm

    Sadly, Ash is no closer to find a home for his family but fear not - the search will continue. At least they had pyjama week at daycare so it wasn't all bad for Ash. Oscar had a great week as he was allowed a minute in the bathroom to say as many swearwords as possible in a minute without getting in trouble.. yes, we have the audio.

    Matt's been feeling queasy all week - might be the kids gastro from the kids, the 4 hrs sleep he gets a night or the triple shot coffee he has every morning or all of the above. Between house inspections Ash decided to take Matt to URBNSURF (wave pool) so he can resurrect his surfing career. It ended with Matt smashing his board, severe cramp and a very bruised ego.

    Plus, we tackle your questions with ASK ELLIE (Matt's mum)!

    When did you get your sex drive back post kids (unfortunately Matt was forced to ask this one) When did you know you were done with having kids?

  • We kick off this ep with a beautiful moment from Ash as he gifts Matt a present for his b'day. What a lovely guy! Ash then breaks the news that he's being kicked out of his apartment and they have 30 days to find new digs. Maybe it's for the best because there's been a recent crime spree. We know what you're thinking - no it's not Mr Freeze - it's actually a bunch of nightmare teenagers. Ash has just the idea to pull them into line.. VIGILANTE MUMS !

    Matt's been sick as a dog and both girls have had gastro so it's been a bloody nightmare of a week for the Johnson's. Only problem is, Laura has the new Covid tests that also test for every type of flu under the soon. Guess what Matt tested positive for?? Not telling... listen to the ep !

  • Matt has survived a total of 10 days with Laura oversees for work (please give him a collective round of applause). It's not been without its challenges - atrocious weather, illnesses, attacks from wild animals.The fact that he's made it through this period with the family unscathed is testament to the fact that he's such a great dad ! (Yes, it's Matt writing this).

    Ash is at his wits ends due to the fact that his kids refuse to eat the absolute garbage he cooks them (look at our socials for visual evidence). Gordon Ramsey would have an aneurysm if he saw what gets served in the Wicks household. Oscar also won an award at footy so our sponsorship of their team is already paying off.

    While Matt is making enemies, Ash is making friends at the local library during Rhyme Time! Meanwhile, the Wicks household is getting emotional and nostalgic about preparing little Oscar for kindy (primary school) next year. I just happens to be the same school Ash went to as a youngster.

    April shares all of Ash's deepest, darkest secrets - from how he first got her attention at a bar on a Saturday night, how he spent two weeks courting her over text messages, not being able to afford their first dinner date to a proposal in San Francisco and what she thinks of his social media impersonations of her.
