  • Used to be good

    This used to be my favourite podcast, but it’s now got so boring I don’t think I can listen any more. For a podcast called “Parenting Hell”, they barely talk about parenting. In the last episode, Josh was talking about his water meter… zzzzz. They also don’t seem to understand how tone deaf a lot of their material comes across.

  • Yes Rob NZ is overrated

    Delighted to hear that Rob has the same view of NZ. I was expecting something amazing considering so many people in the 80’s & 90’s would save for a trip when they retired. It was a huge amount of money in those days and I thought there were similarly stunning landscapes in the U.K. The NZ tourist board did a great job.

  • Irritating

    Rob winding Josh up about where he lives is getting boring and not great listening.
