NRL legend Josh Papali’i joins the Montoyas following his retirement after 342 games for the Canberra Raiders. Josh reveals the moments that convinced him to walk away, why his wife stopped him from chasing another contract overseas and the brutal physical cost of his career.

Josh and Marcelo compare life as fathers and admit what really happens when the kids start crying at 3am. Both lie perfectly still, hoping their wives will get up first, while Marcelo confesses he started wearing earplugs when the twins came home. According to the boys, the kids want their mums anyway very convenient!

Then Noah joins the couch and immediately starts exposing his dad. From Josh getting drunk after golf and hiding in the toilet to avoid chores, to his questionable cooking and driving, nothing is off limits!!
