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

#94 Weatherman Sam Mac: Travelling Dad, Drive-Thru Dinners and Tackling Newborn Life 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/1f9b41b1-1f60-47c5-b217-b1f10072adf0/transcript

Is your kid a good self-bum-wiper? 

Lola, Matty J's littlest, is sick and tired of people wiping her bum. The only problem is that she's not very good at completing the job on her own. 

Macy, Ash's little girl, is upset that someone took her balloon after her mum watched the culprit sprint out of Rhyme Time with the balloon in hand. 

The tears continue this week as Matty J makes the very TOUGH decision to break up with his daughter's daycare. 

We've introduced a new segment called – Parenting Hack Or F*ck That

Plus, we tackle your questions!
Is it okay to change your baby's nappy on the plane? 
What's a tip for a new girl that they don't tell you?

#95 Breakups, Balloon Fights And Bum Wipes

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/ab8459b2-f26b-4f1f-8718-b1f500598947/transcript

Ash is holding down the Wicks household, and everyone is as sick as a dog, so Dad is getting little sleep. 

But if Manly invites you to their awards night, you must go! Matty J and Ash were lucky to attend the Sea Eagles' honorary event, but they couldn't believe who they sat next to.

Meanwhile, Matt is pulling his hair out from the chaos that comes with house renovations. He can't tell the difference between a White Wave and a French Cream either! 

To top it all off, Ash is flabbergasted to hear his friend's 3-year-old has been kicked out of dance class. 

We've introduced a new segment called – Parenting Hack Or F*ck That

Plus, we tackle your questions!
We know mum guilt is a thing, but what about dad guilt? When do you feel it most?

#93 Do Dads Ever Feel "Dad Guilt"?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/1a4790f2-c55b-4a47-8746-b1ee00a26f64/transcript

Matt has broken his pinky toe, and it turns out it's the one thing keeping the 38-year-old dad upright. He would like some sympathy, but no one is giving it to him. 

Ash has moved into what can only be described as an acreage—no, but he does have a big backyard. The new house is great, but there is only one little quirk, and that's the death drop at the end of the driveway.

Oh, and Matt takes the girls to the footy for the first time, but he's unsure whether they liked it or not - you be the judge!  

We've introduced a new segment called – Parenting Hack Or F*ck That

Plus, we tackle your questions!


Is it ok to leave your kid in the car when paying for petrol?


Has Matt had any fights with mum since she moved in?
