After a tough morning with the girls, Matt is guilted by a clip he saw on social media. Can we normalise parents not enjoying every second!? Ash realises the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after Oscar had a little accident with a fart that was carrying cargo - he's also a man who has publicly experienced sharting. Whilst we're on the topic, Matt relives the moment he pissed for so long, he passed out and headbutted the corner of a bath. Both gents then go through some of the common parenting-lies we tell our kids.
We also have a crack at answering your parenting questions:

Public sharts and parenting lies !

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.

Parenting

Alex Volkanovski says parenting makes UFC fighting feel like a walk in the park. 
Well, we won't be jumping into the ring with the bloke anytime soon!
UFC former lightweight world champ, Alex Volkanovski is known as Alexander the Great in the octagon but is also a doting dad to three young daughters: Ariana (9), Airlie (7), and Reign (8 months). 
Standing by his side is his high school sweetheart, Emma, who has helped Volk balance the intense world of MMA with the equally demanding role of being a loving father and husband.
