Meanwhile, sibling duo Frederick and Florence charge their dad with the heinous crime of switching off Fun Kids radio in favour of… country music! Yuck! Dad can’t handle the Captain Underpants Fart Song, but Judge Bex, the Fun Kids boss, and a crowd of loyal listeners aren’t having it... Will Dad be forced to face a future full of fart songs, or can the court broker a peace?Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do Ethan and Marcus do too much around the house while mum and dad relax – or is there more to the story? From filling water bottles and feeding the cat, to tackling the most boring task of all (the dishwasher), the boys say the list never ends! Mum Claire and Dad Alex argue back, but Judge Bex has a twist in store: a star chart for the parents, proof of chores, and extra screen time for completed tasks.  Meanwhile, Mummy's snoring is so powerful, Penny claims she can't sleep! After an award-worthy snoring impression, all eyes turn to mum, who admits the issue – sometimes even waking herself up! Penny wants earplugs, mum gets stitched up with a case out of left field, and Judge Bex lays down a surprising and sweet judgment. Bonus: what should happen if mum wakes Penny multiple times in one night?Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean has had enough! Every time he wins, receives, or buys treats like marshmallows and Toblerone, Dad just can’t resist. Is it a harmless household sharing culture, or a serious case of snack theft? Dad Adrian says he just couldn’t help it but Sean wants justice… and his chocolate back. Meanwhile, Billy just wants to hang out and play Pokémon with his big brother Alexander – but Alexander would rather read or play chess than another round of battles. Is it fair for Billy to keep asking? Should Alexander be forced to play Pokémon if he’s not feeling it?   Lauren and Connor reflect on the cases. Should treats always be shared? Is Judge Bex's suggestion of a "supermarket sweep" a fair price for snack theft? Is it a big sibling’s duty to entertain a younger one?

Baird is frustrated – his parents have been to lots of places, but he’s only ever been to London. Dad  says many trips were before Baird was born. What can be done? Turns out, even a Holiday Inn sounds fun!  Meanwhile, Sisters Elsie and Isabel are at odds. Elsie is a prolific letter-writer, sliding up to 100 notes under Isabel’s door, despite their rooms being three meters apart! Isabel’s complaint: It’s repetitive, distracting, and sometimes she just bins the notes. But maybe letter writing is also a handwriting helper? Support the show: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
