Ash shares his first and disastrous gig as a wedding DJ this week, only to be saved by a tiny hero. Plus, he’s in hot water after teaching Oscar a new “trick” that didn’t go down well. 

Meanwhile, Matt’s morning with the kids was rough, and he’s feeling Laura’s frustration after a charity run that's been taking up his nights. He also has school orientation on the agenda and some… interesting renovation updates.

Ash is back from what felt like a year-long trip to Bali!

One surprising thing happened during the trip after Ash shared some photos online, leading Matt to call April to investigate. 

Matt felt inspired by Ash and invited two other families up north for a quick getaway to Tropical Fruit World, leaving them horrified after doing something only a true Queenslander would do.

Matt's kids were psyched out of their brains to attend a kid's dance party. Of course, things didn't go as planned, and it turned into a complete and utter disaster. One disaster turned into another after a neighbouring party upstaged a friend's kids' birthday party. 

Ash took the kids out for sushi for the afternoon, except it took a wild turn when Oscar had to poo midway through. Did he make it to the toilet in time? 

P.S. Did you catch the Easter Egg at the end of the pod?

Paralympian Vanessa Low achieved Gold Medal status at the 2024 Paris Paralympics while bringing her toddler in tow. 

Vanessa was just 15 years old when her life took a sharp turn in a small town in Germany. This would lead her onto a path where she would go on to meet her husband and coach and qualify in four Olympic Games as a long jump athlete. 

Despite knowing how to face a difficult challenge, pregnancy with Matteo was on a different level.
