Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

Matt's currently enjoying potty training a 2 year old (Lola) who insists on doing everything solo - including attempting to empty a potty by herself that's full to the brim with her business. Ash takes the family on a holiday to Queensland, which includes lugging 8 bags, cot and baby seat across the boarder, getting two flat tyres and being on the receiving end of a foul-mouthed spray from his 3 year old. Matt also has an incident with a post-sex towel thanks to his mother.

Ash has just uncovered his wife's devious lunch prep behaviour - hiding mint slices in Oscar's daycare lunches. Matt experiences the full roller coaster of parenting as a joyous day at the park with the kids and his dog descends into chaos when a blue heeler goes rogue (no dogs were harmed in the making of this podcast). Now that Oscar has a raging sugar addiction, he takes down Ash's whole Quake Shake at the supermarket but overdoses and vomits the whole thing back up in aisle 4.

Larry Emdur.... COME ON DOWNNNNNN! Matty J and Ash have developed a full blown dad-crush post Larry Emdur chat. The man has it all - loving relationship with his wife, successful career and two fully grown offspring who treat him like a best mate. He also doesn't look a day over 40. We talk about how he juggled a new-born whilst hosting one of the biggest game shows in Australian TV history, what his tattoos (which are dedicated to his family) really mean, the difference in parenting to a son versus a daughter, and the one thing he wished he was better at as a dad. Big thanks to Larry for being so generous with his time.. Have we mentioned how much we love Larry? Follow @twodotingdads on Instagram here.

Fellas, make sure you check your nuts because it's testicular cancer month and we wanna make sure if any of you get struck by this asshole of a disease, you get to your GP quicker than Ash puts away a frothy on a Sunday arvo. Matt's been dealt a double whammy - man flu and he's a single parent because Laura's left him for the latest season of Dancing With The Stars. Ash's mum is in town and he finds out he was almost abducted in Kmart when he was a toddler. If that wasn't traumatising enough, Matt also gets Ash to relive the day he got his vasectomy (step by step). Is it worth taking the venom out of the snake?

Ash has a pregnancy scare, which is a real bloody mystery as it's post vasectomy. Matt and Laura try to book in sexy time - the only problem is that their children do everything in their power to make sure it doesn't happen. Also, Ash hits rock bottom as he finds himself eating a microwave kids meal out of the bin after a night on the tins.

Is it ok to use your child to make friends with another parent? Ash faces the dilemma of dodging friendship requests thrown at him at the park. Also, Matt discovers why he was wandering around his neighbourhood stinking of shit.

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).
