Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

Jai Arrow has fought plenty of battles on the footy field but now he's facing the biggest fight of his life - against MND.
The NRL superstar joins us this week for an incredibly honest and moving conversation about his diagnosis and the decision to retire from the game to focus on fighting the disease.
With his wife Berina and daughter Ayla by his side in the studio, Jai opens up about the realities of living with MND - the things that have surprised him most, how it’s changed life as a dad and a husband and why his family are his reason to keep fighting every day.
It’s raw, heartbreaking, inspiring and at times, surprisingly funny.
If you’d like to learn more about MND, access support or help fund the fight, head to www.fightmnd.org.au or www.mndaustralia.org.au
All proceeds from our Two Doting Dads hats during the week of this episode from October 4-11 will go towards MND - you can purchase them here.

Buckle up, because you’re in for a wild ride with this one.
The guys are loosey-goosey after a whirlwind trip south for the Choreplay calendar shoot - they get so loud in fact that the pod almost gets shut down by noise complaints from the neighbours.
Perhaps they got a little too into character on the shoot because they've come back with sex on the brain! Ash has invested in an intimacy pillow, while Matt is still trying to get his head around his intimacy challenge with Laura.
Meanwhile, Matt has done something to one of his girls that he seriously regrets but on the plus side, he’s got an idea that could eradicate nits from every school around the country.
Plus, the boys unpack whether a simple formula can actually help keep a marriage alive and kicking.

This week the guys are flying solo without Vic, which means only one thing - another loose episode.
The guys ask parents the one thing they’d love more of and without getting too political they think the solution is coffee.
Meanwhile Ash has some breaking news from Latvia & Matt has a hack for fixing his faulty freezer
But they're here to solve come more Doter Dilemmas and this week they tackle the tough topic of unfair dismissal when it comes to paid parental leave.
Remember, you can sign the petition here to help lobby the government for more paid parental leave.
Plus the guys tackle the age-old parenting dilemma: when the hell do you actually talk to your kids about the birds and the bees?
All in all, another chaotic housekeeping episode, just with significantly more farting.

This week Ash has brought a brand new slang term to the pod and naturally, it’s all about the word penis. Now we just need to see if anyone else is actually willing to use it.
Ash also shares a few of the things that have helped him stay off the booze before turning his attention to the far more pressing issues of Oscar’s new haircut and how a seven-year-old somehow has enough money to pay for the family’s streaming services.
Over in Bondi, Matt's forking out big bucks for toys Poppy keeps grabbing, while simultaneously threatening to declare war on his street over the ongoing saga that is Tree-Gate.
And finally, there’s the intimacy challenge… which has Matt completely stumped and Ash thoroughly grossed out.

This week we sit down with the man behind Choc’s Chats, Jake Cullen, who you might recognise from social media for his funny videos, which are suspiciously similar to Ash’s.
So naturally, the guys have a lot to talk about.
Choc and Ash actually have a very similar meet-cute to Matt and Ash… although there’s one fairly significant difference: they’ve pashed. On a work trip.
So prepare for some jealousy. Mostly from Matt.
But beneath the pashing and petty rivalry, Choc opens up about becoming a dad to 18-month-old Bobby, including one of the hardest decisions he and Kate have ever had to make while she was pregnant.
He also gets honest about the dad guilt he never saw coming, the pressure to be present while also keeping everything else going, and why the juggle of work, parenting and life is very real.
And yes, Matt is still processing the fact that Choc has kissed Ash.
