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.

    #216 An "Adults Only" Error

    Ash went on an adults only holiday and accidentally booked himself into a very questionable hotel. Meanwhile Matt's recovering from a dramatic week after Laura's 40th and the death of his neighbour. Ash is suspicious that both events occurred in the same week. The boys have a LOL about whether or not sausages belong in the lunchbox and Matt's daughter has created a book about their family pet - cute story but let's just say the title needs a bit of work.  If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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

    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.

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?!   If you need a shoulder to cry on:  Two Doting Dads Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/639833491568735/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTwoDotingDads  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twodotingdads/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twodotingdads   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
