Interesting Rob said he wasn’t going to go on about Josh’s kitchen (or lack of it) because Lou says it stresses her out. I’m thinking we know Lou reads her so has she told Rob to cool it about Josh house/moving etc?

And me.

I am a bit disapproving of that new kitchen. The old one wasn’t that old and environmentally all this redoing stuff is dreadful. But that’s my own minor issue!

Josh comes across with so little self awareness today. I get he’s having a stressful time but a little awareness of other people working long hours around and on Christmas would probably make you come across better

Totally agree, and Rob is so right that it is just a stupid idea to do it so close to Christmas especially if you are going to get so stressed about it

I found it a bit of an uncomfortable listen! Josh was clearly feeling really unwell and Rob was even more relentless with his winding up than usual!!

I’m not even 20 minutes in and it’s such an aggy listen. Surely between the two of them and Michael they could have listened back and decided to scrap it and put out a message out to say they were taking a week off? They must make a fortune off those ads if it’s worth putting this out.

Sounds like their interview ep they were recording straight afterwards is going to be a hoot…

Same, it just feels really aggressive and awkward! Of all the times to be interviewing Dr Chatterjee 😂 his whole thing is about feeling good and positive changes etc.

Awful pod Friday!

Has Rob got adhd ? He talks over Josh CONSTANTLY ( yesterdays was particularly bad)
Josh’s whining gets very jarring (when you can hear him speak ) I turned it off tbh

The thing is, it never used to be like this so if it’s adhd that wouldn’t be the reason that it’s only become an issue more recently. I think it’s just Rob’s ego has really grown over the last couple of years and is now a bit out of control.

I actually had to keep skipping through the first twenty minutes or so because Rob interrupted Josh every five words with a “funny” (facetious) question - it was maddening.

I wonder if this is something Rob does in real life or whether he just gets carried away on the podcast? It’s like if one of your mates broke their leg because they were doing something a bit stupid - would you keep saying “so was that a good idea?” while they were in agony or hobbling around?

I think he thinks it’s just banter but it makes him (and Lou) sometimes seem quite smug and like they revel in other people’s misery a bit. Josh didn’t say “Why didn’t you call up and check about the inflatables?” when Rob was talking about his daughters party

It's just more of the same, Rob firmly believing that his thoughts and choices are THE RIGHT thoughts and choices, and not being willing to accept that other people view things differently. I feel like even if he says he accepts all views you can still hear the undercurrent that his is correct 😂

Spot on!! Josh must have the patience of a saint not to snap back more! Especially when ill!

I’ve just joined the thread recently so sorry if this has been covered but I’m so tired of Josh whingeing about how stressed and busy he is around his house renovations. He even mentioned people approaching him to ask if he’s ok 🙄. Does he realise how ridiculous he sounds? I used to really like them both and now I’m increasingly going off them both.

When I was pregnant with my daughter we did a full lower ground extension, started in the June. The kitchen was DEFINITELY going to be in and working for Christmas, 2 weeks before I was due.

We endured no kitchen, washing dishes in the bathroom, family doing our laundry.... It was awful but the end was in sight. Then the builders fell behind and gave us a completion date of "in the new year".

Then baby came early on the 23rd Dec! Christmas day I came home with a newborn to no kitchen, just walls and windows/doors.

We weren't in a position to rent another house or stay in hotels.

It takes a lot for Rob and Josh to annoy me but Josh whining is really getting on my bits. He is in a very privileged position and needs to check himself.

I reckon Rob is possibly annoyed with him too, because it's obvious things weren't going to be done in time for Christmas and it's affected the pod with Josh turning up late and being more harassed than usual.

Oh I think they both milk their characters. It doesn’t really annoy me. I don’t listen to them expecting them to be relatable (even though they might think they are!)
