  • Ep 265 Prue Gold!

    Listened with AirPods in by the pool in Ho Chi Minh City couldn’t help but giggle and smirk. Guests must have thought I’d lost the plot. As a fellow open plan office worker I can’t wait until you get busted again for being loud, made for great content. Keep up the good work! Definitely the best episode yet.

  • Love!

    Ash and Matt have created something so incredibly real and relatable. They aren’t afraid to talk about the serious topics that come with parenthood — from Ash’s sobriety, the mental and emotional toll of becoming parents, navigating relationships, and surviving the infamous “threenagers” — but they balance it perfectly with those moments that have me genuinely laughing out loud.

    What I love most is how honest they are about the reality of everyday life as a parent and a partner. They don’t pret... more

    What a beautiful episode. Ash & April, so open and honest. Matty - an amazing interviewer, so well spoken and thoughtful with your questions. Really kept things flowing. Love listening to you guys, keep up the good work, you’re a great couple (and Aprils seems lovely too).

    5 stars all round! (I did have to google how to leave a review, not winning at being a millennial for sure)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#272 Cubicle Confessions
Q: Is there anything I can tell my partner that may make him feel better?
They say it is common for a young breastfed baby to prefer mum for feeding, and suggest dad focus on other ways to bond, such as nappy changes, bath time and time with the toddler. Feeding opportunities may come later as the child starts solids.
#272 Cubicle Confessions
Q: Has anyone been through something similar, and what has helped a toddler who will not poo in the toilet?
The hosts suggest trying a potty to reduce the drop and splash, praising attempts, and making the toilet experience feel more comfortable. They also discuss allowing the child to sit on the toilet in underwear.
#269 Parental Trauma Starts at the Airport
Q: Would you take a male contraceptive pill if your partner asked you to share the responsibility?
Ash says he would, and Matty says he would consider it because a partner may have carried the contraceptive burden for years. They weigh that against possible side effects such as weight gain, acne and mood swings.
#269 Parental Trauma Starts at the Airport
Q: What do you think about a contraceptive pill for men potentially being available by 2031?
The group discusses whether men would take it, the potential side effects, and the responsibility of sharing contraception. Vic notes that trials have encountered acne, weight gain and mood effects, and says the option could help reduce unintended pregnancies.
#268 Are You My Real Dad?
Q: Would a man in his mid-fifties be happy or angry if a daughter he did not know existed contacted him?
The hosts suggest he might initially be curious or skeptical, and advise the daughter to consider whether she wants closure or a relationship, explain her expectations and be prepared for rejection.
