Matty J has returned from Bali with his tail between his legs after spilling the beans about Life Uncut's Britt Hockley's wedding. Except he doesn't remember spilling the beans on the podcast...Let's run the tapes, shall we?! 

Ash has found Lego bodies scattered all over his house, and he doesn't know why. Is there a serial Lego killer on the loose? 

We also get into your Par-Rants for this week, where you air out your parenting grievances. This week's rant hit a nerve and our pockets! 

We also answer your questions: 
What's the WORST thing you could say to a parent, round 2!
What to do when your child pinches you?

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.

We also want to acknowledge the civilians and first responders who stepped forward in moments of unthinkable danger. Your courage and compassion made a difference when it mattered most.

#EP191 A message from Bondi

One thing we pride ourselves on at Two Doting Dads is that we provide you with the good, the bad and the relatable parenting stories but we NEVER provide advice.

Until today... well sort of.

We've brought in parenting expert Gen Muir from Connected Parenting to dish out the advice and she has some incredible tips for the boys to try on their kids.

Plus she does the unthinkable... she makes Ash cry (although he won't admit it) and he is left speechless for the first time, maybe ever!

And the parenting hack that could actually get your kids listening to you! There are so many nuggets of gold to take home in this episode, you won't want to miss it.

As we all drag our tired parent bodies to the end of the year, the boys' focus has moved to sleep and how they can get more of it.

They dive into fierce debates over bunk beds and baby blankets and their answers might surprise you!

Meanwhile another week and another e-bike fiasco for Matt - they say bad luck comes in threes so hopefully after this one it'll be clear riding from here on?!

And Ash has finally lost his mind... literally.

One minute he's telling a story, the next minute... everything goes blank.

We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened but needless to say many LOLS are had.

Plus the Christmas fail that almost burns the house down.

‘Tis the season to let loose, indulge and dive into the holidays, stomach first.

ALDI’s great quality range at affordable prices means you can stretch your pants without stretching your budget. Go on, it’s Christmas. See the full range at aldi.com.au/christmas-at-ALDI
