This week the boys are divided over pet names - Ash says they’re pure ick, while Matt’s fully committed to the cringe.

Then things escalate when Ash roasts the way Matt talks to his kids… until Matt produces actual evidence of Ash using a very different voice with Macy. Hypocrite or justified baby chat? We’ll let the Doters decide.

Matt and Ash went head-to-head in a fierce battle for tickets to State of Origin Game 2 in Melbourne. You'll have to listen to find out who came out on top. If you want to join the boys at the game, grab your tickets here.

Plus the Doters deliver more elite parenting hacks including why ice blocks for breakfast might actually be genius.

We’re back with another housekeeping ep and the boys are ripping through the to-do list this week — from parenting lies and par-rants to a couple of doter dilemmas thrown in for good measure.

The guys unpack the backlash around “new baby on board” commuter badges… and let’s just say they’ve got thoughts.

They also launch an investigation into the most spirit-breaking kids toys ever invented - particularly the ones lovingly gifted by certain mothers-in-law. 

Matty reflects on his early newborn days and the loneliness that can hit when there’s no dads group or village to lean on.

Plus there’s another birthday party etiquette drama and this time Ash has had to call it in to April which lands him in more hot water.

As always: plenty of enthusiasm, very little advice.

This week, we're laying all our worst habits on the table.

From snoring to bath-time dinners and a comment that quickly veered into dangerous territory, the boys aren't exactly covering themselves in glory. 

Add in a stressful studio fit-out and a few petty squabbles and things are getting a little tense.

Meanwhile, Nanna's battling a mountain of washing thanks to the endless rain, while Ash puts his secret first-aid skills to the test after Macy takes a tumble.

Plus, one of the smartest breakfast parenting hacks we've heard in ages.

Today's guest is an absolute legend when it comes to understanding boys... and judging by this chat, parents too.

Tim French is a father of two boys, a teacher, and now a parent educator who's helped countless young men find their feet when they've lost their way.

He's seen struggling teenagers become school captains and says the key isn't tougher parenting or stricter rules — it's connection. A common interest, a shared goal, and adults who genuinely care.

In this episode, Tim shares practical advice on how to talk to boys in a way that actually gets through, the phrases parents should avoid, and the surprisingly simple moments when kids are most likely to open up.

And if you've ever worried about the influence of the manosphere, social media, or where your son is getting his ideas from, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

Cover your kids ears for this ep because there's a whole lotta adults only chat on board.

Matt's girls walked in on something he'd rather they hadn't (don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds).

Ash's all hot under the collar because April's doing party pumps.

Plus we debate the great parenting dilemma: is a child-free holiday self-care or selfish?

And one of the all-time smartest dinner hacks with kids.

This week the guys are tackling the big questions facing Australia... and it's all centred around a beloved birthday party ritual that seems to have fallen by the wayside.

Ash also thanks everyone for their outpour of support for his sobriety journey but there's one Doter letter that leads him down a rabbit hole.

Plus Matt digs a little deeper into why Ash still feels like he's going through the biggest break-up of his life.

It's another emotional ep so grab the tissues and settle in.

This week the boys are carrying on like feuding brothers who’ve just been told they need to share a bedroom.

There’s tension over paint samples, furniture choices and the studio fit-out, forcing Vic to step-in and split them up.

Meanwhile, Vic gives the guys a much-needed education on geriatric pregnancies and period cycles… because, unsurprisingly, they are deeply clueless.

Ash is convinced he may be raising a child prodigy & there’s a song that could be giving Oscar an unfair competitive advantage.

And Matt’s feeling slightly sheepish after caving on a parenting rule he swore he’d never break.

It's another week of the good, the bad, the relatable and absolutely no advice.

You might remember Holly Nicholson from winning the heart of Pilot Jimmy on The Bachelor - but these days her biggest challenge is negotiating with a toddler and surviving motherhood on minimal sleep.

Since finding reality TV love, Holly’s gotten married, had baby Lenny and built a loyal following by sharing the very real side of mum life… and not just the cute Instagram bits.

From toddler meltdowns to the relentless chaos of raising a tiny human, Holly’s refreshingly honest about the parts of motherhood that are messy, mundane and occasionally make you question your sanity.

In this chat, Holly opens up about her struggles to fall pregnant, the challenges that came after Lenny arrived, and the things you should absolutely never say to a pregnant woman unless you’ve got a death wish.

This week there’s a LOT of pent-up frustration… and for once the kids aren’t entirely to blame.

Ash is convinced Bluey is ruining his life, Matt’s at war with the latest pet Marlie’s brought home and a faulty door lock has officially cock-blocked Matt and Laura.

The boys bond over the one baby product they’re sick of seeing dumped on the side of the road.

Plus more things we were ridiculously confident about before becoming parents… back when we still had free time, energy and sex lives.

We're back so soon! Not what you were expecting!? 

You've been asking and now we're FINALLY delivering - two eps a week every Monday and Wednesday.

In today's new ep we dive head first into housekeeping and boy is there a lot of it (because we all know you secretly love it)!

Ash reveals a pathetic injury he got while parenting this week.

While Matt is wondering if he'll ever be remembered for his who he really is!?

And there's a new phrase in their kids vocabulary that is driving them nuts!

Perhaps the double full moon is to blame - either way, we're all going loosey goosey!

From bedroom conversations to playground politics, nothing’s off limits this week.

We’re talking sexy talk, navigating spicy playdates and wading bravely into the great gender debate... and let's just say they've got some surprising revelations about the two sexes. 

The boys also tap into their emotional sides reading letters to their wives ahead of Mothers' Day.

And more of the things we thought we knew before having kids.
