Ash, father of the year, #1 doting dad, selfless carer of Macy and Oscar... has been dad-shamed. The crime you ask? Taking two marshmallows from his children's babycino. The inbox has been chockablock this week so we have a read of some of the messages sent in from listeners - including Christy who confirmed that her partner gets his heart rate up to 170 - 180bpm during sex. Not sure if we should be impressed of concerned for the welfare for Christy or her partner.

I've Been DAD-SHAMED !!

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.

It's the Queen of Gosford herself! Lady Julia Morris, the doting mother of two young ladies, drops by post-jungle fever to share the good, the bad and the relatable of parenting. 
It's safe to say Matty J and Ash had no idea what they were getting themselves into, but keep up and enjoy the ride as Julia chats about how she dealt with divorce and telling her kids, miscarriage and the chaos of menopause.
Julia is a long-time Aussie comedian and the much-loved co-host of Australia's version of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

Happy Mother's Day! We adore you, and yes, we would not be here without you.

The Wicks spend a weekend away from the kids and decide to bring a carry-on friend with them for the trip. Can they get it through customs, though? 
Oscar has learnt a new phrase except he doesn't realise how rude he is! 
Matt treats Laura to the highly coveted parent sleep-in but reckons she's getting way more sleep than she thinks. Daddy J also has a new hack to convince Lola to love him and we're not sure how long he can keep up this new hack...

#65 Lava Monster Ruins Playtime Forever

Kat Clark is truly a force to be reckoned with. 
With a platform boasting millions of followers across social media and a thriving skincare business, Kaladé, which she co-runs with her daughters Latisha and Deja. 
After falling pregnant at the young age of 17, Kat found herself in an abusive relationship, disconnected from her family on an island north of Queensland. 
Thankfully, she was able to escape her situation, start her life anew, and rebuild it to what it is today. 
We're immensely grateful to Kat for bravely sharing her story, and we encourage our dads to speak out about violence against women.

#64 BONUS Doting Mum Kat Clark

Matt has had to activate the almighty dad voice to a group of young teens at the footy this week. It's safe to say it put the fear of god into them.
Are you a family that loves a good hand-me-down? Well, Ash does, and as a rare treat, he's surprised Macy with something new that she can't take off, even during bathtime.  
Speaking of bathtime, Marley dropped a bombshell during her night routine that shocked the Johnson household after she shared some new words she learned at daycare.
