We're at Ash's house today and Matt's already snooping around checking out the new pad.

Luckily for us, April was home, so we brought her in to chat to the boys on life with Ash.

And does she spill the tea or what!? Let's just say a war of words erupts and Matt is loving his front row seat to it all.

The boys also discuss how much work it takes to keep up the magic of Christmas as Matty tries (and fails) to recruit Ash to join the Elf on the Shelf trend.

And with Santa arriving tonight, Ash reveals he's facing all sorts of questions about how the big man in red will get into their new place to deliver presents.

Happy Christmas doters - we hope you have a wonderful and safe celebration with family and friends.

Like so many others, we’re still trying to come to terms with the scale and impact of the recent attack in Bondi. As a result, we’ve made the decision to pause our usual episode schedule - it didn’t feel right to continue as normal, and we appreciate your understanding.

We also want to acknowledge the civilians and first responders who stepped forward in moments of unthinkable danger. Your courage and compassion made a difference when it mattered most.

Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and everyone directly affected.

One thing we pride ourselves on at Two Doting Dads is that we provide you with the good, the bad and the relatable parenting stories but we NEVER provide advice.

Until today... well sort of.

We've brought in parenting expert Gen Muir from Connected Parenting to dish out the advice and she has some incredible tips for the boys to try on their kids.

Plus she does the unthinkable... she makes Ash cry (although he won't admit it) and he is left speechless for the first time, maybe ever!

And the parenting hack that could actually get your kids listening to you! There are so many nuggets of gold to take home in this episode, you won't want to miss it.

As we all drag our tired parent bodies to the end of the year, the boys' focus has moved to sleep and how they can get more of it.

They dive into fierce debates over bunk beds and baby blankets and their answers might surprise you!

Meanwhile another week and another e-bike fiasco for Matt - they say bad luck comes in threes so hopefully after this one it'll be clear riding from here on?!

And Ash has finally lost his mind... literally.

One minute he's telling a story, the next minute... everything goes blank.

We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened but needless to say many LOLS are had.

Plus the Christmas fail that almost burns the house down.

‘Tis the season to let loose, indulge and dive into the holidays, stomach first.
