Two Doting Dads with Matty J & Ash

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 expected.
Plus, the guys have discovered a teacher’s error - could this be the first time a teacher has ever got something wrong?
And we know the guys swear… a lot, but it seems their questionable language is starting to rub off on some of our youngest listeners.

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 when you’ve got absolutely nothing left in the tank?
From Parliament House to the playground… just another week in the life of Two Doting Dads.

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 what she did, what she didn’t do and what she’s learned about supporting someone through addiction without losing themselves in the process.
It’s a raw, honest and incredibly vulnerable conversation that gives us a whole new look at their relationship, built on love, trust, honesty and a whole lot of hope.
There are some seriously powerful takeaways about marriage, parenting, addiction and what it really means to stand beside someone when life gets hard.
We hope you love this one as much as we do.
If you need help with addiction you can call Lifeline on 1800 250 015 or you can find resources here.

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 modern parenting feels so bloody confusing and what to do when your kids push back.
Basically, Gen is back to make us all feel slightly more capable of parenting our children once again.
You can buy her new book here or follow her daily wisdom here.

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 the move.
Plus, with Father’s Day approaching, the guys get some very revealing messages from their kids about what they’re really like as dads.
And, of course, more of your best parenting lies, thanks to OMO Capsules.
