We're into another chaotic week with the kids but this time it's Buster who's in the naughty corner.

Ash shares why his daughter's hunger has no bounds, even when it comes to saving the seals and Matt reveals how he became the innocent victim of a water gun attack.

The boys learn what the actual meaning of 'Baby on Board' means, plus a listener has shared what could be the greatest dinner-time hack of all time (and could save your sanity at the dinner table).

Aaaaand the countdown to Christmas is well and truly on with the boys debating whether it's too early to be putting the tree up - if at all!

The silly season is officially here and we're leaning into it - so strap yourselves in, it's going to be a wild ride.

Matty J's wife, Laura, has been accused of throwing out an expensive bottle that belongs to producer Jess (it has a metal top, mind you!) Should she be blamed for this horrible act, though?

Speaking of throwing out important things. Who in your household has the desire of someone who wants to live in a museum? Ash complains about losing items to the tip.

It's also Grandparents' Day, and Matty J had to step in for Nana, as she has found herself in the hospital again.

The boys also check in with former guest and friend of the show, Hugo Toovey, to hear how he's faring post what we hope will be his last major surgery.

To top off a chaotic week with the kids, Marlie-Mae leaves Daddy a sweet Lunchbox note that brings everyone to tears.

You know Ryan as one-half of the Toni and Ryan show. He also happens to be a dad to little toddler Mabel!

From the time his partner Bridget squeezed his fake finger a bit too hard during labour to getting in trouble at school for not throwing an eraser... Ryan’s got stories.

He also opens up about being adopted, meeting his biological parents for the first time, and the very risky joke Toni dropped at the family reunion.

Yes, the lasagna really was really good.

It's been a while since Daddy Ash has had an "accident" in public. Unfortunately, it happened at the worst place possible and has left him scarred ever since.

Matty J has found a way to sort out Lola's phantom "tummy aches" at the doctors. Is he an evil genius or just a very loving dad?!

Wholesome by Sarah is the absolute queen of keeping family meals real!

She knows exactly how to keep the kids happy, from picky eaters and beige diets to sneaking in a few veggies into your kids' bellies.

Sarah is mum to three daughters and shares the household and business load with her husband. She gets into the raw pain she experienced after breastfeeding that landed her in the emergency, why she's sick of the "hands-on-dad" myth and how she gets her kids to eat all of their dinner.

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.
