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.

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.

Technically, baby Poppy has arrived!

However, in this episode, past Matty J, his wife Laura, and Ash have yet to meet her. The anticipation is high! So are the nerves...and in the words of Ash, "good luck!"

While Matt prepares to welcome a third baby, he's playing pranks on Marlie, and it's getting her into trouble at school.

Ash has finally said goodbye to his Balie parasite and shares the remedy for getting rid of the things (yuck).

Becoming a parent has a way of reshaping everything you thought you knew about yourself.

For Scotty James, an Olympic medalist, professional snowboarder, and father to 1-year-old Leo, this involved tackling a new challenge while balancing nearly twenty years of training and competing at the top with the unpredictable and humbling experience of dadhood.

In this episode, Scotty opens up about:

• The shock of shifting priorities after becoming a dad
• How fatherhood has reframed his approach to sport and success
• Why some of the biggest lessons come from the smallest (and messiest) moments

Special thanks to RedBull for bringing this to life!

Poppy has arrived!

Except, in this podcast universe, she's still in Mum's belly waiting for her father to sort out the hospital insurance...that he forgot to renew. Oh dear.

Ash is back from Bali and took home an additional pet, or some would call a parasite. The best cure is bed (and toilet), but unfortunately, Ash is in the middle of moving house.

Making a return for this week's episode is your Parenting Lies! We've got some good ones.

We also answer your parenting questions:

• How do you transition your kid out of pull-ups at night?
• At what age did you transition your kids to a big bed?
