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.

Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

#79 Aaron 'Woodsy' Woods Shares IVF struggles

We kick off this ep with a beautiful moment from Ash as he gifts Matt a present for his b'day. What a lovely guy! Ash then breaks the news that he's being kicked out of his apartment and they have 30 days to find new digs. Maybe it's for the best because there's been a recent crime spree. We know what you're thinking - no it's not Mr Freeze - it's actually a bunch of nightmare teenagers. Ash has just the idea to pull them into line.. VIGILANTE MUMS ! 

Matt's been sick as a dog and both girls have had gastro so it's been a bloody nightmare of a week for the Johnson's. Only problem is, Laura has the new Covid tests that also test for every type of flu under the soon. Guess what Matt tested positive for?? Not telling... listen to the ep !

Plus, we tackle your questions!
What's something non-sexual your wife does to turn you on?
Is it ok to leave your toddler asleep if you need to pop outside?

#80 Man Flu and Vigilante Mums

Matt has survived a total of 10 days with Laura oversees for work (please give him a collective round of applause). It's not been without its challenges - atrocious weather, illnesses, attacks from wild animals.The fact that he's made it through this period with the family unscathed is testament to the fact that he's such a great dad ! (Yes, it's Matt writing this).

Ash is at his wits ends due to the fact that his kids refuse to eat the absolute garbage he cooks them (look at our socials for visual evidence). Gordon Ramsey would have an aneurysm if he saw what gets served in the Wicks household. Oscar also won an award at footy so our sponsorship of their team is already paying off.

Plus, we tackle your questions!
Is it ok to duck out for a second with your kid asleep?
Does your kids ask 'why' all the time and how do you stop it?

#78 Rain Man, Shitty Dinners and Solo Parenting!

What a bloody week - Matt had a nightmare of a flight with both girls when a passenger (who was off his head) threatened to break his nose. Next thing the cops were on the flight and the other passenger was escorted off the plane. WE KID YOU NOT!

While Matt is making enemies, Ash is making friends at the local library during Rhyme Time! Meanwhile, the Wicks household is getting emotional and nostalgic about preparing little Oscar for kindy (primary school) next year. I just happens to be the same school Ash went to as a youngster. Please send your thoughts and prayers to the teachers !

Plus, we tackle your questions!
Have you ever lost a child?
What do you do if you don't like how your partner is parenting their kid?
