I enjoyed the Pete Doherty episode. I think he’s a very troubled soul. Recommend the Louis Theroux doc for anyone who hasn’t seen it and enjoyed Fridays episode.

I haven't listened to the Pete Doherty episode yet, but I thought there was a touch of the old/rennovation Rob today when he was grilling Josh about his son's birthday party.

I kind of like that Josh and Rose have a more laid back approach to their kids' parties.

I think there was a bit of them both being out of touch, when Josh found out his MOT wasn't overdue after all because his nanny did it for him last year....!

I didn’t understand why the garage didn’t inform him that it already had a valid MOT either? It would have come up on the database when they did it?

I really liked the Pete Doherty one, once Josh had calmed down with his manic laughing. But I just had to stop the latest one to come here and say I can’t believe Josh got his nanny to do his MOT! That’s a piss take if you ask me. I’ve never been a nanny but I don’t think I’d be happy if I was one and got asked to do that. That’s a step too far isn’t it?!

I’m confused by the nanny full stop. Doesn’t he talk about nursery and has also talked about breakfast club for daughter? Maybe the nanny is more of a nanny/housekeeper for when both him and rose are working unusual hours

I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt with the nanny as I don’t think Josh has ever come across as an expectant hole and I’m assuming there’s a bit more context (something like he mentioned he needed to do it and she offered).

But I’m a Josh apologist!

My good friend works for an agency where she is seconded to fairly wealthy people for a set amount of hours a week. The role is a bit like being a housekeeper you might organise a wardrobe, do the ironing, pick the kids up from school, take the dry cleaning and then do other little chores.…For example MOT the car?!, maybe this is the arrangement that he has?

Josh said the Nanny is only there on a Tuesday.

I'm a cleaner and one of the families I clean for have a Nanny who also does laundry, shopping and cooking. Their children are 9 and 12 so lots of after school clubs as well as school runs.

I used to Nanny and technically it’s not in the job description but I was always asked to do random things 🤣 I’m sure she’s happy to help out. It’s when it’s expected then it would be a problem, she’s not responsible for MOTing the car every year for example, but I’m sure they don’t expect that from her. The bit I found funny was ‘you always need things to do with kids to entertain them’ not taking the car for an MOT! Haha.

What I found bizarre is that he didn’t just Google check mot status of a vehicle! It would have come up with the gov.uk website straight away. Surely you would do that before booking it in to a garage whilst on holiday. It’s a no brainer! 😳

It stresses me out just listening to how chaotic and seemingly unorganised he is.

I think it's a bit strange for the nanny to be MOT'ing the car, especially if she's only there one day a week. However, I think Josh said she uses their car, so maybe she's had it MOT'd to cover her own a, so she's not driving about in an car without a valid MOT?
