I just canā€™t believe he left his shopping out for hours and hours on his heated kitchen floor! He better get used to having the shits if he eats all that food šŸ˜‚ It was hilarious though.
I thought that! No wonder he's got the runs if he's always eating half defrosted food!

I enjoyed how ridiculously middle class it was, his Occado delivery can't go away because his COOK ready meals are filling up the freezer!

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ I thought the same! Itā€™s an insight into the middle class London life that I am not part of. I do love Joshā€™s stories where everything goes to tit, Iā€™d rather hear that than boasting about how great his life is.

Iā€™ve not heard of that one - is it worth a listen?
I quite like her, sheā€™s a young Tik Tok famous presenter, sheā€™s done some good episodes with Alison Hammond and the guys from The Traitors but most of the time I have no clue who most of her guests are! I think it will be worth a listen.

Absolutely enjoyed the Gandy episode. Wasn't expecting him to have this much of a personality to be fair.

Just listening now. She's asked who the worst guest was... Rob 100% side stepped the question by changing the subject. Hoping she picks it back up again and asks again.

Thanks Iā€™ll listen to that on my walk today. Been running out of podcasts to listen to, Thursday is my lull day, podcast wise.

I just listened to the Saving Grace ep, it was funny. But he still didn't say who worst guest is!

Taskmaster podcast is good for a Thursday! I guess you need to be a Taskmaster fan though ā€¦

Iā€™ve just finished listening to todays episode and I liked it. I like Sam and Billie though but I think even those who arenā€™t keen wonā€™t mind it!

So I posted before I actually listened & I actually liked it! I'm not a fan of them at all but was a good listen.

I have never watched TOWIE or their new show but I thought the ladies seemed nice. I am however shocked at how they have monetised their family life in such a way, I cannot imagine living with a camera crew in my house 4 days a week and on holidays! How fucked up for their kids. And I know they said the kids love it but they are too young to give informed consent, they donā€™t really understand the implications of having their childhood broadcast on national tv. Are the children earning a wage? Because it seems there wouldnā€™t be a show without the kids so they should be getting paid.

It broke my heart when one of them said ā€œIf me and my husband are in the kitchen talking to camera, the kids come through because they want to perform/be on cameraā€ - no they donā€™t love, they want their parents to pay them attention! Those kids are going to need a lot of therapy when theyā€™re older. It is even sadder that this life is all those kids have ever known. I am just a bit disgusted by it all tbh and I judge Rob for trying to justify it (I feel Josh was more passive and suspect he disapproves also).

I too wondered if the kids get paid & it's put into a trust fund. As you say they are too young to consent

Rob is a bit of a hypocrite as heā€™s commented on the Saccone Jolys before on how they film everything and it didnā€™t sound like he approved. I think the fact he keeps his own girls private tells you what he really thinks. But he likes to brown nose his guests šŸ˜‚ itā€™s just Rob. Josh will have been quietly judging as he knows Rob will do the arse licking šŸ˜œ

Josh sounded like he thought the whole thing was awful but obviously couldnā€™t say that. Rob really disappoints me as he guards his own kidsā€™ privacy so well but then cheerily chatted to them about exploiting their kids since birth. I found some of what they said about their lives with the cameras really upsetting actually. Poor children.

Itā€™s the first episode of the podcast Iā€™ve ever found uncomfortable listening (although I admit Iā€™m not planning to listen to Seann Walsh) and seemed to be a real contradiction of the ethos of it. Rob did try to make it sound like the kids are incidental to the programmes they do but thatā€™s not true and anyone whoā€™s ever seen them will know that.
