#177 Poppy Has Arrived!
The Johnson/Byrne's are finally a family of five! Despite a change of midwives mid-labour, Poppy's birth was a breeze (according to Matty J). Dad was nervous about the growing private medical bill and even tried to barter with the doctor. Meanwhile, Ash couldn't believe his sister was asked to pet sit an animal that definitely shouldn't be pet sat. Making a return for this week's episode is your Parenting Lies and Par-Rants!

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.
