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.

#60 Daddy Needs His "Special Time"
FIRST THINGS FIRST - OUR KIDS BOOK IS FINALLY AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER HERE!
It's a tale of two dads trying to catch up one one thing always gets in the way - the kids. We wrote as a story for kids that parents will also love.
In other news, we all know that sexy time is a rare treat after having kids.
Daddy needed his special time this week; however, some of us had to wait a little longer for it.
Matt tolerates Ash's gripe and welcomes back his wife, Laura, with open arms, but things take a turn when he doesn't get what he wants.
Ash has had a particularly GOOD week all around if you know what I mean * wink *. He also took Oscar to his first footy game, and it turns out he's a good luck charm! The only downside to Ash's week was being mistaken for a predator at a park...But let's not focus on the negative!

#59 What A Clusterfluck Of A Week
Big breath in, big breath out!
Matt is solo parenting this week, and the kids are running an absolute muck while Mum is away. Lola's 3 AM wake-up calls have left Matt sleep-deprived, causing accidental moments like reaching for two-week-old milk for breakfast 🤮
Ash, on the other hand, is running after Macy, who's escaped to a place he can't go. Meanwhile, his son Oscar has a black eye, and you'll never guess how it happened...

#57 Big Easter Blow Out, Toddler Cravings, Gender Disappointment
Matt and Ash hate the Easter long weekend.
Kids are jacked up on sugar, daycare charges you the public holiday, and you can't escape it because the roads are packed full of other families trying to escape.
The only upside is that the calories don't count during Easter.
Ash takes the family to the Royal Easter Show, entering with the best intentions but leaving as a very full man.
Matt is trying to find time to have sex longer, but life is getting in the way. In an unrelated topic, he also shares his personal experience with gender disappointment.

How do you manage gender disappointment?
If you were born a woman, would you go through the process of birth?

Customer Reviews
Laugh out loud & will make your day a happier one!
I’m a mum from the UK and I look forward to listening to these two every week! They are so funny and I love their honesty about parenting. I laugh out loud when I listen and love the chemistry between them.
Binge Worthy
Once finding out that I was going to become a dad, I found this podcast to listen to for advice. My partner was so proud that I'd found a podcast that I could relate and learn from, showing a willing to learn how to become a great father. After managing to binge listen to all content over the past month or so, I feel like I'm no closer prepared for the birth of my first come February, it's fantastic!! I've reached a point where I'm waiting for each week's episode and I can't wait to listen along whilst sitting on the toilet, whilst my wife deals with our newborn. Keep up the good work guys!

Very funny but also some valuable tips
Has me laughing away, very relatable content for parents going through the toddler phase or out of it (lucky things!). Also had some tips in there that have worked a treat! Tell your child you are going for a poo and they will leave you in peace and not question what you are doing… thought that would never work but it did
