  • Authentically hilarious

    Not a parent but this show isn’t really just about parenting (especially the eps without guests). These wizards have gotten me deeply invested in all their mundanities, including Bin Gate and the radiator situation. The real hell is the one Josh continually makes for himself, and how relatable is that? The heaven is zen laddie Rob laughing at him and quoting stoic philosophy alongside saying someone’s “got the hump.” Love and thanks from an American who once lived in England and who still finds ... more

  • Hilarious, Honest and Weirdly Therapeutic

    I absolutely love this podcast. I’ve had so many laugh-out-loud moments, sometimes even close to tears. The guests are brilliant, and I’ve been happily binge-listening. It’s taught me a lot about parenting, and it’s also reassuring to hear that no one gets it perfect all the time! Rob and Josh are genuinely uplifting and relatable. Highly recommend.

  • Pathetic Stuff

    I actually enjoy this podcast but Josh’s non stop whining & lack of attention to anything that doesn’t affect him is infuriating even Rob is starting to pull him up now. Rob makes the show, he’s a sensible parent & his wife & him make a great team. Josh is like a teenager that continually needs told what to do & he still gets it wrong. Josh also has this annoying habit of repeating the last 3 words said to him too. He’s a man boy! It should be called Rob parents Josh.
