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.

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.  If you or someone you know is struggling, be sure to contact Lifeline at 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue at 1300 22 4636.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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).
