), the mother in law story (which was actually just an opportunity to say how he’d made his kids laugh). I still love the pod but I’d say one in three eps I find Rob a little annoying.I like this too. I listen to Elis and John (who are friends with Rob and Josh) and I find their normal podcast to be really mental health positive (as in they talk openly about it and seem to genuinely care about the other person and their emotions) and its so nice to hear men be supportive with each other and talk openly about things. They also have a "how do you cope" podcast where they interview people on how they've coped with certain situations too. Hopefully the more "lads lads lads" that can do it publicly, can help normal lads too.
I think it's very much genuine because he's from a working class family/community and seems to still be close to friends from his younger days so he may see that he has a better deal than he would have done had he gone down the route of cabbie (following his dad) or similar work.
I'd love a bloopers episode. I'm sure there is plenty slip-ups they could mash into on episode - that doesn't get them cancelled, or that still protects the privacy of their kids/guests etcUrgh a "best of" this week. I know they are allowed a break but I just don't understand "best ofs". Surely Michael can compile an hour of unused bits from the previous podcasts to keep us entertained. Some of us live by our Friday episodes ya know! (I'm a cleaner and my cleaning routine is tightly choreographed to my podcast listening!)
I’m not caught up but this annoys me. He wouldn’t be shocked if it was Josh away. And on the heels of Lou saying she feels like the default parent maybe he should think about that. I know I’m getting deep here for a comedy podcast but I do hate this expectation…where the feminism eh!!!
Rio Ferdinand was cheating on his first wife for nearly the entire time they were married with various women.
I agree with this. I thought similar when he read out that poem he wrote as a kid about people telling him he couldn't do certain things. I think he wants it to look like the diagnosis hasn't bothered him, but I think something like that will explain so much from the past that it's impossible for it not to affect you in some way.I've been having thoughts (feel free to ignore) and I'm projecting wildly so take it as you will!
Rob's just been diagnosed with dyslexia, he suspects he has ADHD (doesn't appear to want to get tested from me reading between the lines). This can really open up a lot of feelings in regards to the realisation you're not "just stupid" or "a bit much" you do a lot of self reflection and you can feel almost like you're grieving for the person (specifically the child) you previously were who was constantly made to feel less than your peers. It's hard to explain, but I went through the same and so much of your life suddenly becomes clear but also you get a bit cross that it was never your fault but you were constantly labelled "the naughty one", "the disruptive one", "must try harder" etc etc.
He's possibly going through a bit of a manic phase at the moment - he reminds me a lot of myself sometimes when I listen /see him on tele. I think it's similar to when Josh was depressed/getting sober. I think in a month or so he'll look back and maybe think "oh I was a bit much back then" but in the midst of it he's probably unaware. I reckon Josh, as a good friend of his, is his safe space to unleash on. Josh appears to take it in good humour.
yes I loved her look too.
I was the same. Hilarious intro went downhill when she came on. Frankly I wasn't a fan of how she spoke about her wee boy either. She kept trying to laugh off that he was quirky, and oh isn't he just a little Tom Allen kind of gent but I got the vibe she really struggled with that. Her husband sounded like he was able to embrace his individuality a bit more which was nice.Sara Barron was so intense! Feel like she rambled on so much and they kept trying to talk / make a joke / change the topic and she just didn’t stop… I found her soo draining! The intro before her though was hilarious
If they were going to slate Josh’s wife shouldn’t they slate actual Rob or Josh first who can spend huge amounts of time away from their families? No one is saying they fuck off all the time. I hate the double standard.
