Matt's kids were psyched out of their brains to attend a kid's dance party. Of course, things didn't go as planned, and it turned into a complete and utter disaster. One disaster turned into another after a neighbouring party upstaged a friend's kids' birthday party.
Ash took the kids out for sushi for the afternoon, except it took a wild turn when Oscar had to poo midway through. Did he make it to the toilet in time?
P.S. Did you catch the Easter Egg at the end of the pod?

Ash is holding down the Wicks household, and everyone is as sick as a dog, so Dad is getting little sleep.
But if Manly invites you to their awards night, you must go! Matty J and Ash were lucky to attend the Sea Eagles' honorary event, but they couldn't believe who they sat next to.
Meanwhile, Matt is pulling his hair out from the chaos that comes with house renovations. He can't tell the difference between a White Wave and a French Cream either!
To top it all off, Ash is flabbergasted to hear his friend's 3-year-old has been kicked out of dance class.

Matt has broken his pinky toe, and it turns out it's the one thing keeping the 38-year-old dad upright. He would like some sympathy, but no one is giving it to him.
Ash has moved into what can only be described as an acreageâno, but he does have a big backyard. The new house is great, but there is only one little quirk, and that's the death drop at the end of the driveway.
Oh, and Matt takes the girls to the footy for the first time, but he's unsure whether they liked it or not - you be the judge!
