#140 Two Ranting Parents
04/22/25 • 41 min
Remember when Ash was the reason why his father's car door was ripped apart and had to live with the consequences many years later?
No? Well, his sister Beth does! Matty J and Ash demand that she come clean and explain what really happened almost 28 years ago.
Meanwhile, Macy has hit another milestone, this time during swimming lessons. Her growing independence is making things extra difficult for Dad.
Let's face it, children don't know what they want. Matty J shares how he tried to prevent Lola from drowning despite demanding to be left ALONE!
We have a new segment! It's called Par-RANT, where Matty J and Ash hear your parent rants.
We also answer your questions:
- What are your top kid's songs?
- What's the longest you've gone without washing your kids?

#139 Dad With Millions Of Followers Shares His Sobriety Journey
Ben Tate may just be the biggest social media dad we’ve had on the pod. You probably know him as one-half of Ben and Zara, the father-daughter duo behind those viral lip-sync videos. However, behind the fun and fame lies a pretty wild story.
Ben grew up in the entertainment world, acting in ads and TV shows. He lived life on unpredictable schedules and short-term contracts. That was all fine... until the birth of his daughter Zara nearly nine years ago.
Her arrival came with a dramatic birth story and a major wake-up call, one that forced Ben to step away from something that was quietly pulling his life off course.
