Technically, baby Poppy has arrived! However, in this episode, past Matty J, his wife Laura, and Ash have yet to meet her. The anticipation is high! So are the nerves...and in the words of Ash, "good luck!" While Matt prepares to welcome a third baby, he's playing pranks on Marlie, and it's getting her into trouble at school. Ash has finally said goodbye to his Balie parasite and shares the remedy for getting rid of the things (yuck).

#174 Baby on the Way, Insurance in Delay
Poppy has arrived! Except, in this podcast universe, she's still in Mum's belly waiting for her father to sort out the hospital insurance...that he forgot to renew. Oh dear. Ash is back from Bali and took home an additional pet, or some would call a parasite. The best cure is bed (and toilet), but unfortunately, Ash is in the middle of moving house. Making a return for this week's episode is your Parenting Lies! We've got some good ones. We also answer your parenting questions: How do you transition your kid out of pull-ups at night? At what age did you transition your kids to a big bed?

#173 Saucy Sexy Chaos
Before you ask...baby three isn't born yet! That's probably a good thing because there are builders onsite (again) at the Johnson/Byrne household, fixing, plastering, hammering last-minute things before the baby arrives. Ash, on the other hand, couldn't be living a more opposite life to Matty J right now! He has returned from a sexy poolside cocktail-sipping week in Bali with his wife, April. The couple made sure to bring the essentials for the trip...unfortunately, everyone knew about it. We also answer your parenting questions: How on earth do you juggle two completely different sleeping routines of a newborn and a toddler? How much TV is okay for 2-year-old?

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.
