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!

After finally visiting the "tooth salesman", Ash gifts Matt a present that only a few have the honour of receiving.
Matt has entered a new level of dad after accidentally shitting himself. He's also stumbled upon the ultimate spot that not only showers dads with praise but also provides peace and quiet time from the kids—the nail salon.

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.
After sharing that he needs a tooth extraction, Ash admits he doesn't have a will or health insurance!

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.

Great news - Ash has a new house! Bad news is that the battle has only just begun with his landlord to get his bond back. We will keep you updated on the situation as things progress.
Matt has turned into Bondi's biggest good samaritan after offering poor little Sue a lift to the dog rescue shelter after her dog of 15 years died (did I mentioned it was an hr drive away).

We're warning you.. human faeces get's a red hot crack in this episode.
After a quick update on Ash's rental situation, we get straight into the important stuff. Are you a folder, a scruncher or a raveller? 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 ! The dads also discuss the most effective position to wipe your child's bum post toilet trip.
Plus.. DONNA IS PREGNANT! A huge shout out to one of our most beloved listeners who told us they're now expecting their second.

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.
