Parenting Hell Podcast #5

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
Rob said he hated trying new things & then when Josh just tried to say that’s what’s so different about them in a good way, because he always wants to try something new and challenging
Rob then got all defensive about how it’s actually because he does soooo many new things on Rob & Romesh - I’m surprised it was kept on it was an awkward listen
It was so awkward! It felt like it was bordering on nasty from Rob, almost undermining Josh for only doing Last Leg and the podcast.
Rob mentioned his work being "feast or famine" and then 2 minutes later Josh quoted it and Rob replied all defensively "let's not call my work famine" What?! You were the one that just said it!
I honestly don't know how Josh remains so patient and kind towards him

Josh's hamster may still be in the freezer... I can't remember
Oh did he get another or am I thinking the frozen one? 🤣
I’ve. It caught up yet, surely all 8 year olds will get bored eventually, especially if dads working and mums with older sister? Mine’ll just watch tv all day 🤣
Josh is just laid back- good job really! What’s the problem with Josh ‘only’ doing a live tv show and some podcasts? Surely that’s the dream? Big house in a town he’s loving, can walk everywhere, wife’s off doing her thing and the kids are settled, no money worries? I’d say Josh is doing pretty well. He needs to get over the tiredness thing though- you’re 40 odd- you’re never gonna feel more awake 🤣

I think Rob has admitted a lot of hang-ups from his working class background and issues with learning at school and i honestly think he should have regular therapy sessions as he’s totally overcompensating with his kids. They need to get bored so they can learn and use their imagination to entertain themselves. Kids do not need to do absolutely everything. There’s a difference between giving your kids a great childhood and spoiling them. The girls are going to end up so anxious. His interrupting is clearly his ADHD but he needs to try to learn how to listen more instead of always jumping in.

Oh, totally agree- you can absolutely see why he is why he is. We all want our kids to have better than we had, but there are ways to do it. Travel yes, great. But take a year out and do it in a slower way. Rob himself doesn’t need to do everything either. He can rest a bit and just chill. He’s married to an author now, let her pull in a wage for a bit….🤣

Doesn't Josh own the company that produces the podcast, I think it produces a few for other comedians. Josh is obviously doing fine for income and owns two massive houses!

I don’t think Rob does too bad either 🤣 He also has a company listed. A lot of comedians do.

All self employed entertainers are paid through their business in the most tax efficient way.
 
Today's episode was very boring. Clearly couldn't get enough content from the guest so just ended up bickering between themselves and for once Josh was also quite annoying.

I really liked Ray on this week's podcast, but I think he felt like someone who has wandered into a couples argument. On the last bit, he looked like he didn't know if it was banter between Rob and Josh or if they were actually having a go!

I haven't caught up in weeks since just after Christmas. Rob makes me feel depressed he's like a mood hoover

I feel that if I knew Rob, the way I’d speak to him regarding the way he spoke to Josh would be exactly how he speaks to Josh, all taking the piss and laughing over him all the time 😆

I love ray bradshaw and have seen him live. Felt like they interrupted him and didn’t really let him flow. So much of it felt like it was about to get into a story and was derailed. His conversations about growing up with deaf parents, his wee boy with the photographic memory, IVF. I was so excited for this episode. They hardly mentioned football, not one mention of partick thistle!
