Just a quick question, have you changed to watching rather than listening to the pod? It suits me to listen when I walk the dog, but now I feel like I’m missing out by not watching. Anyone else? Am I missing anything?

To me, podcasts are for listening- I have enough to watch but podcasts can be there whilst driving, walking, in a cafe, anywhere where I’m alone but in public. I know what you mean, hope they don’t reference all the visuals all the time

On the Rest is Entertainment I'm sure they said 70% of podcasts are watched now instead of just listening. I was so surprised to hear that. To me podcasts are for listening also when I'm out walking or driving etc.

Still audio only for me. I am a bit particular about only using the Apple podcasts app for podcasts and Spotify for music. Using Spotify for podcasts is all kind of wrong to me. I stopped listening to PH for the whole time they got above their station and went exclusive with Spotify so exclusive video isn’t going to win me back 😂

I find it annoying that podcasts that have added on video do so much playing to the camera when they should be audio first. Help I Sexted My Boss is the main one I’m thinking of.

To be fair if mine were up on screens until 10.30pm the night before they would be unbearable the next day, and if I've travelled for work they're particularly clingy too. That said, they do love their grandparents more than me so they probably wouldn't have a problem with me not coming 🤣

Listening for me! The only opportunity I get to listen is my commute and I really hope they don’t keep referencing the visual side of it.

Wow, that sounds like a very high figure! I love listening to podcasts and I really don't think I need the visual element, after all they're just sat on a chair doing the talking.
I started listening to podcasts when I drove a lot for work, I do listen to fewer of them now but it's still just an audio element for me (and I sort of want to have the screen break)

Do people here know about Naseem Hameds car crash..? Normally it’s more negative here and positive on Reddit so I was surprised it was opposite this time😂

I have a six year old who likes us to lay with her to get to sleep, takes about ten minutes but ol’ anxious Annie over here worries that it needs sorting. I don’t know whether I’m relived or terrified knowing that Josh is sleeping on his own bedroom floor, with both kids in his room, and Rob’s kids need them to sleep with them 😂🤣🤣🤣

Josh’s daughter sounds like such a gorgeous soul! V.I.C 😩
When he said 'Very Important Cat' and that she'd made a red carpet!! 'm sure she's no angel (and I also think Rob often highlights the more challenging parts of parenting in terms of his kids behaviour, whereas Josh talks more about challenges through his own feelings/behaviour) but she does seem very sweet.

This sounds snarky but often get the sense that Rob thinks his daughters are really cool - popular girls and can imply Josh's daughter is less so.
Josh's daughter seems to be living quite a nice normal life, normal amount of holidays, lots of downtime, just start horse riding. Whereas as Rob's daughters have already been to Florida (countless times), Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Australia, Japan, Maldives - just that we know of ... could make them a bit braggy at school.

I NEED to know what really happened at the Beckham wedding 🤣

Haven’t listened for a while but Rob started annoying me immediately on the one I’m listening to, by being so defensive about how brilliant it was to do three shows in one day or something. Josh was trying to have a laugh about it but Rob wasn’t having it. He can dish it out but he can’t take it!
Also, I don’t know if it’s been mentioned before but it really annoys me how Rob feels like it’s obligatory to make a joke about disabilities. Josh can’t say anything about the Last Leg without Rob’s boring jokes. Like he thinks the whole idea of disabilities is funny. We’re not in the 80s anymore Rob.
On a positive note, still love Josh’s children. The way his daughter designed that app and was asking Josh about it was too cute.

I remember a time when I preferred Rob to Josh, don’t know what I was thinking!

Definitely! I always think how theres no way Rob would take all the sarky comments about his children and wife the way Josh does from Rob. The other week when Rob joked about how passive aggressive Josh's daughter had worded something.. can you imagine if Josh said that about one of his little darlings?! And then when he was talking and showing the pictures of the Squishmallow App, you could tell Rob had completely checked out, he went on his phone. If one of his daughters had asked him to show it it would have been a whole dedicated episode!!
Oh and I also think Rob seems petrified of Lou!!

I don't suppose it's that unusual in a private school though!

I've not noticed Rob making any comments about disabilities. There's a long-running joke on The Last Leg about Josh just being there for the kudos and being non-disabled should stay in his lane (or words to that effect) and I have heard Rob joke about that - as in a 'look at you trying to be a man of the people'.

I wouldn't be happy if he'd been making jokes at the expense of disabled people, my dad being severely disabled usually has me on high alert to such situations.

Rob made a comment about Alex's legs and running when Josh mentioned the Last Leg in a recent episode , I've noticed he always mentions Alex's disability if he's mentioned

Ah I must have missed that. I listen as I'm working (I'm a cleaner) and sometimes miss the odd bit of conversation.

Alex Brooker takes the piss out of himself quite a lot and makes jokes at his own expense, which is fine because it's his disability. Rob making similar jokes or taking the piss is another example of him being quite self centred and not seeing the bigger picture isn't it.
