The cynic in me thinks another whole episode about it all with Lou is so they can write it off as a "business expense" ...

Ooh I must be in the minority because I like it! Would take me the next ten years to save for something like that mind

I don’t get the Disney thing as a holiday choice at all, and the way he talks about it is as if they have discovered this brand new and little known place to visit 😂 Today’s episode had a really odd vibe for me. I think they should maybe think about moving into doing it more as short series with a gap, rather than endlessly recording and only taking a couple of weeks out every now and again. It worked much better when we were in lockdown and they had less work stuff on.

Haven’t listened yet but haven’t they already done a whole episode about another Disney holidays with tips and tricks, boring!

This comment might mean nothing because I don’t have kids and am not a Disney person, but it is quite funny how there’s this whole world of online content that acts as if going to Disney is like exploring the Amazon.

Seems like a lot of work for a holiday

100% … like why is it so complex. That immediately puts me off. What if I do it wrong and my family didn’t have the ultimate Disney experience.

Anyway isnt it completely Lou’s thing - not Robs?

he doesn’t even enjoy the rides 🤷‍♀️

Bit random but I’m watching children in need and thought Josh had a spot in the children in need choir! Genuinely had to rewind.

I think she'll start doing that "travel advisor" tit on Instagram booking amazing Disney trips for people as part of a travel hun MLM. They'll get her on the pod for an episode where they'll bore us all stupid and Josh will be polite but completely uninterested.

Also rob said the Kissimmee stuff was gifted. So Lou's inst stories should have stated that to adhere to ASA stuff, right? I don't think she did say it was a freebie.

Rob said today it's a bucket list trip. Not it bleeping isnt pal, I would rather go just about anywhere else in the world but Florida. Anywhere else in America appeals more to me than Florida, even. It's full of Brits twatting about at theme parks.

I am quite pleased they are doing a seperate Disney episode, I can skip I. 😂
Oh ME TOO!
I’m SICK to death of hearing about these bloody holidays. Bores me utterly shitless!
Fair enough ,each to their own but, it’s sodding relentless imo
WE GET IT, Lou likes these holidays !
🥱
They need to get this pod back on track.. it’s quite jarring of late !

I find the endless holidays coupled with Loys ever so tragic rant about being the default parent a bit hard to take. I'm a sahm so I'm obviously the default parent. I don't get to go on holidays like they do!!! If Lou went back to any other job than teaching she wouldn't get the annual leave needed to do all these trips anyway. She also goes places with friends which have been in term time.
Really just not in a position to moan!

Disney has always looked like hard work to me! My kid was never interested so I’ve never been, it just doesn’t appeal. Too many people as well!

I love Disney and can’t wait to take my little one once he is old enough HOWEVER, Rob has to realise the privilege he is in.
Will take us years to save for that type of holiday now, it’s not a yearly holiday and he’s lucky he can afford to do so often. Plus Taylor swift tickets whilst out there?!
I was in Disney the same time as him Aug 22, he was being taken around Epcot by a Disney chaperone. Does that cost?

And yet he has the nerve to moan about people asking for selfies! The very people that made him ‘famous’ which has allowed him trips like this. It’s a small price to pay for this privilege. And of course he also had to moan he was tired 🙄

I don’t mind the funny holiday anecdotes, but I don’t want a full holiday breakdown of it all. Lou could easily post it on Instagram if people have asked for it on there as I know she’s done a Q&A on it before

Also, those rollercoaster and rides pictures of Rob became very staged, very fast. They knew what they were doing.

Famous or not, I don't think it's fair to be asking someone for selfies if they're out with their kids. They didn't ask for well-known parents.

As someone who is a Disney/Universal/Florida fan (sorry people) there's no way you can claim to be theme park experts if you only spent 6 out of 14 days at the parks, it should be at least 14!

Tbf I agree with not bothering whilst he is with his kids, it’s not fair on them and he is very protective of them and they being kept away from the limelight

But I do wonder how often people ask him for selfies

The podcast has lost its way IMO. I don't want to hear two wealthy, successful men moaning about how tired they are, their busy showbiz schedules, their house renovations on their various properties, mega expensive holidays, how irritating fans are etc. The podcast worked during lockdown because we were all in the same boat. They are forgetting who they are and who their audience is. They need to become more relatable again or its over. Josh tries but someone needs to have a word with Rob.
