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.

    Remember when Ash was the reason why his father's car door was ripped apart and had to live with the consequences many years later?  No? Well, his sister Beth does! Matty J and Ash demand that she come clean and explain what really happened almost 28 years ago.   Meanwhile, Macy has hit another milestone, this time during swimming lessons. Her growing independence is making things extra difficult for Dad. Let's face it, children don't know what they want. Matty J shares how he tried to prevent Lola from drowning despite demanding to be left ALONE!  We have a new segment! It's called Par-RANT, where Matty J and Ash hear your parent rants. We also answer your questions:  What are your top kid's songs?  What's the longest you've gone without washing your kids?

    #139 Dad With Millions Of Followers Shares His Sobriety Journey

    Ben Tate may just be the biggest social media dad we’ve had on the pod. You probably know him as one-half of Ben and Zara, the father-daughter duo behind those viral lip-sync videos. However, behind the fun and fame lies a pretty wild story. Ben grew up in the entertainment world, acting in ads and TV shows. He lived life on unpredictable schedules and short-term contracts. That was all fine... until the birth of his daughter Zara nearly nine years ago. Her arrival came with a dramatic birth story and a major wake-up call, one that forced Ben to step away from something that was quietly pulling his life off course.

    #138 Guilty Until Proven Otherwise

    How do you know that you're "getting on"?  Some say grey spotting, perhaps rickety knees, but for Matty J and Ash...it's a hairy butt-crack.  This week, it's Marlie-Mae's turn to run the cross-country, and she's not keen. Her father gives her a pep-talk that his very own mother used to give him when he was Marlie's age.  What's the most you'll pay for school uniforms? Matty J makes a rookie move after being upsold at the local uniform shop.  Ash has had ANOTHER flashback, and there is a twist that no one could have predicted.  And Miss Macy has hit a new milestone and may as well be ready to move out.  We also answer your questions:  What are the worst gifts you can give your child?
