I don't want to hate on Rob but he is getting less and less likeable. Josh on the other hand is someone I'd happily spend an evening chatting with.

Feel like you could have a good night out with Josh with some really interesting conversation, along with some giggles and a bit of banter. Plus he doesn’t drink any more so he could be your taxi home too!!!

I always think Jon Richardson is actually my perfect man, but the not drinking may top it for Josh😂 Can’t decide whether his flakiness vs Jon R’s anal retentiveness is better for me or not 🤣

I listened today knowing that I probably wouldn't enjoy it as I can't stand Jo Whiley.

Yup, as predicted she's a "cool mum" with no rules. Yawn.

I haven't listened to it yet but I really like Jo Whiley from listening to her podcast with Zoe Ball. She seems sound and laid back. Maybe I'll change my mind after this!

No you won't, she came across well I'll begrudgingly admit. I'm just being a narky cow who hasn't liked her since the 90s 😂😂

Omg I found Rob so annoying in today’s ep 🙈 I was annoyed driving to work, I don’t know how Josh copes.

Anyone else think Jo Whiley’s kids sound absolutely insufferable? 😂
Yeah I like Jo but after listening to it her kids sound like spoilt brats!

Rob is growing increasingly annoying and unfunny. I'd love if Josh dumped him and did a podcast with someone else.

If nothing else Rob has become completely predictable/boring. 80% of the time he’s constantly challenging and questioning Josh,10% it’s some long winded story about people approaching him and 10% is about his kids.

Whereas Josh always seems to have a story - the kind of story we want from Josh which is something that is ultimately mundane but that he makes entertaining.

I’m hesitant to use the words bullying or attacking in regards to Rob but my god, Josh cannot get a sentence out without him questioning him. It’s so strange. It doesn’t come across as laddy banter, it’s just relentless.

Completely agree all comments about Rob, it's the same old same old. Don't know how Josh puts up with him anymore tbh.

He was so judgemental over the crunchy nut cornflakes like he doesn’t ever eat crap food. He was unbelievably patronising 😡

He has become really aggressive towards Josh recently. First it was because he’d just finished some porridge then he wouldn’t let him finish the one story he wanted to talk about because Rob had dominated the entire episode last week talking about Japan. I haven’t even finished the episode as he was making me more and more angry. 😤

I wonder if it's jealousy and he's realising the majority of listeners probably prefer Josh! 😁

My take on it is we know Lou reads here and chances are she’s seen these comments BUT I think Rob is so arrogant atm he will do it more and call us all trolls. I haven’t listened for the last 3 weeks as he is annoying

I wonder if there is some deeper or psychological reasoning behind it all - as he definitely didn’t do it at the start of the pod - or whether it’s simply just a joke that he is taking too far, as we know he can do that

It’s the “I’m always right and everyone else (Josh) is wrong“ attitude that’s really starting to grate. He never used to be this bad 😢
