Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

Laura's back with Poppy in tow and she's dishing all the dirt on how Matt's doing as a third-time-dad. 

Hint: he's bringing all the positive vibes (just don't ask him to cook with Poppy strapped to him).

Laura opens up about Poppy's healing nature and how their girls are adapting as a family of five (including Lola's surprise hot-take on her baby sister).

And she answers the big question.. does she feel complete with three or ...

Matt has been lashing out at random strangers again - last week it was a van driver, this week’s it’s a photographer he’s set his an...

It's a deep one today and it's a question the boys aren't taking lightly.

The Johnson/Byrne's are finally a family of five! 

Despite a change of midwives mid-labour, Poppy's birth was a breeze (according to Matty J). Dad was nervous about the growing private medical bill and even tried to barter with the doctor. 

Meanwhile, Ash couldn't believe his sister was asked to pet sit an animal that definitely shouldn't be pet sat.

Ash has finally said goodbye to his Balie parasite and shares the remedy for getting rid of the...

Becoming a parent has a way of reshaping everything you thought you knew about yourself.

For Scotty James, an Olympic medalist, professional snowboarder, and father to 1-year-old Leo, this involved tackling a new challenge while balancing nearly twenty years of training and competing at the top with the unpredictable and humbling experience of dadhood.

Poppy has arrived! 

Except, in this podcast universe, she's still in Mum's belly waiting for her father to sort out the hospital insurance...that he forgot to renew. Oh dear. 

Ash is back from Bali and took home an additional pet, or some would call a parasite. The best cure is bed (and toilet), but unfortunately, Ash is in the middle of moving house.

Before you ask...baby three isn't born yet! 

That's probably a good thing because there are builders onsite (again) at the Johnson/Byrne household, fixing, plastering, hammering last-minute things before the baby arrives. 

Ash, on the other hand, couldn't be living a more opposite life to Matty J right now! He has returned from a sexy poolside cocktail-sipping week in Bali with his wife, April. The couple made sure to bri...

Baby Johnson #3 is about to arrive any minute now. (Hopefully, before Matty J lets slip the inducement date, IYKYK). The girls are PUMPED for a baby sister. 

So, it's time to get the nursery ready and make room for the baby, and there's only one place you turn to when going through a clean-out: Facebook Marketplace. So far, it's been a total nightmare. 

There's also been a thief who's infiltrated the household, and the fi...
