The boys meet Tiktok megastar Havea 676 also known as Ilai Matangi.

The father-of-four has had a huge couple of years after being named both Tiktok creator of the year and comedy creator of the year.

And while he might have a few more million followers, Ilai is as humble as they come... and as the boys discover, is a big softie at heart.

He even sheds a few tears getting deep with the boys about dad life. 

Plus he has some incredible dad hacks so that he can parent his daughters differently to how he was raised.

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.

Matt is still recovering from Lola's birthday party - but he's fronted up to give Doters advice on what not to do after things almost went horribly wrong.

Plus he's realised the hardest part of having a nanny is something he never even considered.

Meanwhile Ash reveals why he was surprised by the odd "toy" Macy chose to bring to kindy.

This week the boys are back with more advice - they've opened the floodgates and now nothing can stop their advice-giving ways!

This time they weigh in to the great debate over whether or not you should discipline other people's kids.

Plus the kids' movies that left them traumatised for years to come.

#205 The Great Birthday Party Mistake

We know, we know - we said we'd never give advice.

But our inbox has been heaving with questions from mums & dads begging for advice and we started to think, with five kids between us and two hundred eps under our belt we do know a thing or two about parenting. 

So we're opening the floodgates, starting with a new dad who desperately wants to know if there is light at the end of the tunnel while in the thick of those sleepless newborn nights. 

Plus Ash reveals there's something strange keeping him and Macy up at night at the moment. 

And Matty shares the chaos of Lola's first week at school.

#204 So We're Giving Advice Now

You might recognise Matty Fahd from his 17 seasons on Gogglebox, but he's also a father-of-two caught up with the boys during a long week of solo-parenting while Sarah is away.

Matty opens up about how he was raised, how it's affected his parenting style, how he gave away his adrenaline-junky lifestyle after having kids and the anxiety he faces as a parent of two boys.

Matty admits while he might not have height on his side, he has a big heart and some larger than life stories to tell.
