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.
The queen of common sense, Maggie Dent, is here to sort out the guys’ parenting problems with all the charm and wisdom we know and love about her.
From schoolyard friendships to why presence beats presents, Maggie dishes out some much-needed perspective on the little moments that make you a good dad (even when you’re fairly certain you’re stuffing it up).
Then she turns the tables and put...
This week, the guys are feeling unhinged and it all starts with a pet graveyard in Nan’s backyard.
Matt is still recovering from one of the most stressful airport experiences of his life for a holiday which somehow also delivered his biggest fanboy moment… with a Doter.
Meanwhile, Ash is loading his house with smart bulbs so he can automate the absolute shit out of everything and let the kids put on a killer conc...
Vic’s away, so naturally the boys have immediately reverted to children.
They’re talking snacks, childhood favourites and the finer details of losing their virginity… because that's what happens when they're left unsupervised.
Ash also gets a surprisingly wholesome moment when someone he used to coach reaches out to tell him the impact he had on his life. Who knew Ash was capable of inspiring anyone?
But there&rs...
We’re all a little short on sleep this week, which might explain why we can’t keep a straight face from the second we turn the mics on.
Or it could be because Louis joins the boys with a joke that could put them out of a job one day.
In this ep - Ash reveals Macy’s disturbing new doll game before sharing his very specific foreskin cleaning schedule.
While Matt shares stories from his fami...
Jai Arrow has fought plenty of battles on the footy field but now he's facing the biggest fight of his life - against MND.
The NRL superstar joins us this week for an incredibly honest and moving conversation about his diagnosis and the decision to retire from the game to focus on fighting the disease.
With his wife Berina and daughter Ayla by his side in the studio, Jai opens up about the realities of liv...
Buckle up, because you’re in for a wild ride with this one.
The guys are loosey-goosey after a whirlwind trip south for the Choreplay calendar shoot - they get so loud in fact that the pod almost gets shut down by noise complaints from the neighbours.
Perhaps they got a little too into character on the shoot because they've come back with sex on the brain! Ash has invested in an intimacy pillow, while Matt is still tryi...
This week the guys are flying solo without Vic, which means only one thing - another loose episode.
The guys ask parents the one thing they’d love more of and without getting too political they think the solution is coffee.
Meanwhile Ash has some breaking news from Latvia & Matt has a hack for fixing his faulty freezer
But they're here to solve come more Doter Dilemmas and this week they tackle the tough topic of un...
This week Ash has brought a brand new slang term to the pod and naturally, it’s all about the word penis. Now we just need to see if anyone else is actually willing to use it.
Ash also shares a few of the things that have helped him stay off the booze before turning his attention to the far more pressing issues of Oscar’s new haircut and how a seven-year-old somehow has enough money to pay for the family’s streami...
This week we sit down with the man behind Choc’s Chats, Jake Cullen, who you might recognise from social media for his funny videos, which are suspiciously similar to Ash’s.
So naturally, the guys have a lot to talk about.
Choc and Ash actually have a very similar meet-cute to Matt and Ash… although there’s one fairly significant difference: they’ve pashed. On a work trip.
So prepare for some jealousy...
This week Ash is back from what he can only describe as the most disastrous holiday he’s ever been on.
But there was one silver lining - he and April had their fastest date ever… you genuinely won’t believe how fast.
Naturally, this leads the guys into an unexpected obsession with fajitas.
Meanwhile, Matt is coming to terms with the fact his little girl is growing up and has already outgrown something he never ex...
The guys have had a busy week. One minute they’re in Canberra lobbying politicians for more paid parental leave for dads, the next they’re accepting Father of the Year awards. Standard.
Then it's straight into the important Doter Dilemmas because it’s Housekeeping Day.
They address playground etiquette and the age-old question: when is it actually acceptable to go up the slide? Plus, is it OK to say no to the kids...
This might just be one of our most emotional episodes yet.
We’ve heard Ash’s sobriety story - the pain, the struggles and the voices in his head but today we hear from the person who was there through all of it: April.
From their binge-drinking teenage years, through their 20's and into parenthood, to Ash making the life-changing decision to give alcohol up in his 30's, April has had a front-row seat.
She opens up about...
Our favourite parenting expert Gen Muir is back, and the guys waste absolutely no time using her as their own personal parenting hotline.
The Oracle has also somehow found the time to write a whole new book, this one about boundaries, so naturally she kicks off by setting a few with the guys.
This ep is packed with genuinely brilliant advice: the one question every parent should ask themselves before setting a boundary, why m...
The guys are back and they’ve fallen straight into silly mode this week.
It starts with a roly-poly show from Macy-Moo, before Ash gets into a crazy water fight with a magpie threatening his mental health walks.
Matt has a hack for tired parents trying to keep their future plans in sight while stuck on the parenting hamster wheel, while also realising Poppy has entered the hardest parenting season yet. His angel baby is on th...
This week, the guys are recovering from Book Week - the annual tradition of parents spending far too much time and money making costumes their children will wear once before deciding they hate them.
Who has the time when there are more parenting dilemmas to deal with?!
This week the boys attempt to answer (but not give advice) on:
Is it OK to ask another parent not to swear?
How do you tell a friend you don’t want your kids p...
This week Ash opens up about something he’s NEVER told anyone and it all stems from this week’s breaking news about testicular pain. It’s got to be heard to be believed!
Meanwhile, Matt is getting an early start on the spring clean, trying to offload furniture he’s shocked no one wants to buy… or even take for free.
He’s also in the trenches helping the girls with their homework, putting their p...
This week the guys sit down with the baby whisperer himself, Dr Golly, Baby Bunting's newest ambassador.
Dr Golly has spent the last 20 years as a paediatrician, but he said it was becoming a dad himself that gave him his biggest lessons in the job because he realised just how hard babies can and how much they can shake up the entire family dynamic.
So, for the past decade, he’s gone deep on baby sleep and helping families wo...
This week, April leaves town and Ash quickly discovers how much she's holding the family operation together after the kids come dangerously close to burning the house down.
The guys admit they both use a questionable tactic to get the kids on side - in fact it could even be a parenting hack to use whenever things get desperate.
Meanwhile, Matt's battling parent guilt after his day alone with Poppy somehow turned into a struggle jus...
We know the guys say they don’t give advice… but that hasn’t stopped them from giving plenty of it in this episode.
It’s Doter Dilemma Monday and the questions are coming in hot - what to do when strangers try to touch your baby, how to navigate friendships when your the first to become a parent and whether babies have any business being in Business Class.
Three dilemmas. Several questionable opinions. Abso...
This week we’re celebrating Ash’s birthday... with a gorilla-gram, because why not?
Matt has become a godfather and now he’s finally got the son he’s always wanted. Naturally, he plans to shower the kid in gifts and a car is apparently not off the table.
Ash has been solo parenting while April is away and he’s discovered a genius trick to get the kids out the door. Naturally, it’s already backfir...
