This week it's back to the crazy, beautiful chaos of parenting and the boys feel like they're in the wild west where it's every parent for themselves.

Matt stumbles into a kids' fight club at the cinema and is wondering where the f*** are all the parents!? 

Meanwhile Ash thinks Oscar has signed up to some sort of playground premier league.

And the boys discuss why kids are so obsessed with bandaids and when we all need to stop being nude in front of them.

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.

He's known as relatable teacher Jim, but he's also a relatable dad-of-three with so much great advice when it comes to kids, we started taking notes.

He's a primary teacher from Victoria who's built a huge online following for his incredibly relatable videos on everything from how to change a nappy to how to bath a baby.

You can follow him on instagram or twitter - but for some real nuggets of gold, listen to this episode where he digs deep about how connection is the first place to start when it comes to our kids.

#212 Relatable Teacher Jim

 It's a heavy ep today but an important one. 

Ash opens up about his sobriety journey now he's made it to day 100... a milestone he and Matt weren’t sure he’d reach.

Ash stopped drinking simply to have a break - but what it unleashed is something bigger than he could've ever imagined and now he's not sure he can go back. It’s a really honest and, at times, emotional chat. We touch on mental health and some of the struggles he’s faced along the way.

Importantly though, Ash is in a really good headspace right now and this is him reflecting on some of the tougher times. As always, we’re super proud of him and grateful he felt comfortable sharing it with you all.

#211 Ash's Sobriety & The Moment That Had Us All In Tears

The guys are lucky they can bring you the pod this week after a near brawl with podcast rivals at a recent awards night.

The boys live to tell the tale AND there's footage of how it all went down - you won't believe who started it!

Plus Ash is unlocking core memories with Oscar lately and it's CUTE AF!

While Matt's recent outing to the zoo uncovered his secret spite for Laura's plans to go wrong.

And the guys answer more of your Doter Dilemmas:
Do your kids have to invite kids to their party that invited them to theirs?
Going from 1 to 2 kids - how hard is it really?!
