Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.

#123 Kids Have Grandparents Wrapped Around Their Tiny Finger

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/710d9873-76fe-4937-9778-b24800590dc1/transcript

This week the boys are carrying on like feuding brothers who’ve just been told they need to share a bedroom.

There’s tension over paint samples, furniture choices and the studio fit-out, forcing Vic to step-in and split them up.

Meanwhile, Vic gives the guys a much-needed education on geriatric pregnancies and period cycles… because, unsurprisingly, they are deeply clueless.

Ash is convinced he may be raising a child prodigy & there’s a song that could be giving Oscar an unfair competitive advantage.

And Matt’s feeling slightly sheepish after caving on a parenting rule he swore he’d never break.

It's another week of the good, the bad, the relatable and absolutely no advice.

#227 Petty Squabbles & Parenting Backflips

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/e8dab3e2-bf36-4859-9ad5-b44e0080a68e/transcript

You might remember Holly Nicholson from winning the heart of Pilot Jimmy on The Bachelor - but these days her biggest challenge is negotiating with a toddler and surviving motherhood on minimal sleep.

Since finding reality TV love, Holly’s gotten married, had baby Lenny and built a loyal following by sharing the very real side of mum life… and not just the cute Instagram bits.

From toddler meltdowns to the relentless chaos of raising a tiny human, Holly’s refreshingly honest about the parts of motherhood that are messy, mundane and occasionally make you question your sanity.

In this chat, Holly opens up about her struggles to fall pregnant, the challenges that came after Lenny arrived, and the things you should absolutely never say to a pregnant woman unless you’ve got a death wish.

#226 Highs & Lows with Holly Nicholson (Kingston)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/024df5ee-0a9d-4f57-9697-b44a004f5dfd/transcript

This week there’s a LOT of pent-up frustration… and for once the kids aren’t entirely to blame.

Ash is convinced Bluey is ruining his life, Matt’s at war with the latest pet Marlie’s brought home and a faulty door lock has officially cock-blocked Matt and Laura.

The boys bond over the one baby product they’re sick of seeing dumped on the side of the road.

Plus more things we were ridiculously confident about before becoming parents… back when we still had free time, energy and sex lives.
