Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

It's spaghetti bolognese night at the Johnson household again, except a new ingredient has been added to the menu... No one prepares you for this when you become a parent.  Matt also has a new trick up his sleeve to make Lola love him, inspired by Pavlov's dog.  After a wild night at the Blink 182 concert, Ash realises that he can no longer handle hangovers like he used to in his pre-parenting days.

How much are you willing to spend on a fruit salad platter? Last weekend, Lola turned the big three.  When it rains, it pours, leaving poor Lola afraid that no one will turn up to her party, but even Ash makes the trek. Matt may have left the catering at the last minute and may have also spent waaay too much on a fruit platter.  Ash is dealing with a gremlin child who crawls into Mum and Dad's bed every night. Oscar has somehow managed to smuggle a foreign crunchy object into the bed that freaks out Ash.  Oh, and Matt has a new toy to add to his bug-killing collection.

The plan for today's ep definitely wasn't to talk about shit nonstop.. but here we are. Apologies ! Macy is in the running for a world record for largest poop (based on poop to body weight ratio). There's actually a semi blurred image that we'll put on socials if you're brave enough to look. No judgment. Ash had a little shart incident over the weekend, which (credit to him) hasn't happened in a little while. Thoughts and prayers to his Uber driver. Matt and Laura took the kids to a great new park. Unfortunately it was cut short as Laura's coffee went right through her and the park didn't have toilets. Also worth mentioning that Lola still hates Matt but he's trying his best to turn things around.

Ash has reached his Facebook marketplace limit - he now flat out refuses to have any involvement with his wife's transactions. He's even gone as far as locking himself in the toilet when he hears a buyer knock on the door. Good news is April's never made more money flogging off their old furniture. One of Matt's mottos when it comes to parenting is 'always follow the path of least resistance'. Over the weekend, this path led him down to his local cafe with Lola who brought along a slightly inappropriate item with her. Turns out Lola is into BDSM.
