Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

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.

    #121 Sleep Witchcraft, Gender Burnouts And Existential Questions With Wippa

    Daddy Matty J is still in the jungle, BUT he needs your help to take home the crown 👑  VOTE FOR MATTY J ON I'M A CELEB HERE https://shorturl.at/bEpXl Wippa, from Fitzy and Wippa with Kate, shares the other side of his life, which is parenting. Wippa is a dad of three to Ted, Jack, and Francesca and opens up about how he juggled early morning radio with the relentless demands of newborn life. Between juggling newborns, sleep deprivation, and crack-of-dawn radio calls, Wippa somehow found time to invent his own sleep techniques… ones that probably won’t be included in any parenting books. The guys also tackle the big questions kids ask, like “What is God?” which, as it turns out, might be harder to answer than getting a baby to sleep through the night. 2025 Raunchy Ranch Calendar IS STILL ON SALE!  https://budgysmuggler.com.au/products/two-doting-dads-raunchy-ranch  Buy our book, which is now available in-store! https://www.penguin.com.au/books/two-doting-dads-9781761346552  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.
