#144 Why Does Everything Hurt?

05/13/25 • 47 min

Is it just me, or am I hurtling towards middle age?

Ash is all backed up this week and scares Macy in the process. He also recalls #1002 of his not-so-fantastic moments that involved seeing a friend for the first time since she fell pregnant.

Matty J takes little Marlie-Mae for a bike ride around town and shows her how easily it is to fall into the trap of a miscommunication...

Plus, we let you Par-RANT, a segment where Matty J and Ash listen to your parent rants.

We also answer your questions:

How do you introduce your children to their new sibling?
What's the lamest injury you've ever received?
