Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash Matty J & Ash
-
- Comedy
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.

#70 UFC Dad Alex Volkanovski On Why Parenting Is Tougher Than The Octagon
Alex Volkanovski says parenting makes UFC fighting feel like a walk in the park.
Well, we won't be jumping into the ring with the bloke anytime soon!
