Joining us this episode to discuss the highs and lows of parenting (and life) is the brilliant comedian - Romesh Ranganathan.
Romesh's new sitcom 'Avoidance' is available now on BBC iplayer (all episodes) and his very funny podcast with Tom Davis, Wolf & Owl, can be found everywhere you get your podcasts...
Thanks,
Rob + Josh.
BIG NEWS.... we're writing a book!
⭐ All the stories we can’t tell on the podcast – in depth.
⭐ What it’s like to raise a stiff neck and a loose neck – straight from the horse’s mouth (our parents)
⭐ And.. the BIGGEST REQUEST WE’VE EVER HAD FOR THE PODCAST... Hearing from our wives, Rose & Lou. They’ve got a chapter each and YOU can submit your burning questions to them... [email protected]
What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?
And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?
Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.
