I think if Rob doesn’t want them known then we should respect that and not post. Once on the internet it’s there forever and you never know what weirdos are reading! Not denying I was curious to know the names too, me and my friend have chatted about it, the same way if I see a baby in a Tesco and got chatting to the parent I would naturally ask baby’s name. If there’s a way to delete it I think we should.

Really enjoyed roses episodes, I love the Tuesday episodes and have found myself only listening to the intros of the guest episodes and then skipping a lot of the interviews. Can’t stand listening to someone promote their book or talk about their career when it’s a parenting podcast!

I lived in Ireland for a while, and I must correct them

It's pronounced Mullin-gar, not mullinger 🙈

There’s no real way to keep them private though. Think of all the kids that go to their school who know their names, those kids’ parents will also know. All the teachers will know their names. All the clubs they go to outside of school - kids and adults there will know their names. On the many holidays they go on people will hear them using their kids’ names. Plus he works with so many different people on different things.

Of all those people already mentioned, there’s a good chance they’ll mention it to friends/family, eg “my son goes to school with Rob Beckett’s daughter/we met Rob Beckett at Disneyland etc etc” and so an even wider group will find out that way.

Yes but that's no different to non famous kids. I think it's fair to not openly broadcast their names to the Internet and respect that choice.

It IS different to non-famous kids. No-one is interested in talking to others about how they met me and my family on holiday. None of the parents in my kid's class ask their children about me or my kids. My kids’ teachers don’t make special mention to their friends and family about my kids. They’re not interested because I’m not famous. People are interested in famous people (didn’t you say you’d chatted to your friend about Rob’s kids’ names, or was that someone else?) so people will talk about it.

Feel like it’s quite a different thing to learn his children’s names through an authentic interaction vs searching for or actively sharing their names on a gossip site…

That wasn't me, and you misunderstand what I mean.

I was saying the kids names will be known by people they know in life same as any kids, but that hasn't and doesn't need to transfer over to the public arena. And it is unfair of people to share their names on here when Rob is very clear and very careful about protecting them.

I’d question how private he wants to keep them if someone said above he bought them out on stage at one of his shows?

I think he's done well to be honest and full respect to him for doing his best. One show is a bit different to splashing them all over social media and name dropping them on his very popular podcast twice a week

My only opinion on it as a gig goer... is that things said at gigs by comedians who do podcasts is generally considered "what's said on tour stays on tour", it's almost like you're entered into a secret club because you're there. So any reference to the children is a one and done situation.

That being said can we please move on, because it's definitely something they don't want discussed and this is a rave thread and I don't want them to in any way think it's anything but that.

There's so much negativity on tattle. I like our little big up the lads group (and the Elis and John one #IYKYK)

Does anyone else get bored of the diet chat?
No but I get bored of them moaning about being tired. We all get tired juggling kids/work/life. Im sure the millions in the bank and being able to afford childcare on tap helps.

I'm glad Josh called Rob out today for not letting him finish his sentence. Rob does it way too often. Ok, he gets excited but it's quite tedious often he does it. Josh has snapped a few times now 😂
