Queen Carvania stood haloed by the morning sun. An army hung on her every word.

Atoll and ABTA protected.

Rob Beckett (2:21)

Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with...

SPEAKER_6 (2:23)

Arthur, can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett! And can you say Josh Widdicombe?

Does Josh Widdicombe make you sad? Rob Beckett funny?

Josh Widdicombe (2:36)

Yeah, I think that too. Unbelievable.

Rob Beckett (2:40)

We don't like that here. Obviously, I love that, but we really don't like that. I love that.

We don't put up for that kind of stuff. That's horrible. It's divisive. I love it. But we, as a podcast, don't like that, do we, Josh?

Josh Widdicombe (2:53)

No, we don't. Hi, Rob and Josh. I'm a... No, sorry. Hi, Rob and Josh.

I've been looking forward to this moment ever since your first episode during lockdown when I lived my best carefree life for just my dog and horses.

Since then, I've joined you in the pits of Parenting Hell with a three and a half year old and a six month old. I thought Josh was exaggerating with this age gap, but wow. This is my eldest, Arthur, saying your names. I'm not sure why he finds Rob so funny and Josh is sad. I guess it's just the vibe he's getting.

Rob Beckett (3:30)

Oh, double dig. We hate that.

Josh Widdicombe (3:33)

Do you know what? She's footed her mobile number.

Rob Beckett (3:35)

Let's go.

You've got a call. You've got beef with her because we're not together, so she won't be able to hear me. This is the problem we have on the football podcast.

Stephanie (3:45)

Hello?

Josh Widdicombe (3:46)

Hi, is that Stephanie?

Stephanie (3:48)

Hi, yeah.

Josh Widdicombe (3:49)

It's Josh Widdicombe here. Hi, Steph.

SPEAKER_2 (3:53)

Hello.

Josh Widdicombe (3:55)

How are you?

SPEAKER_6 (3:56)

You're right.

SPEAKER_2 (3:56)

Yeah, not bad.

SPEAKER_6 (3:57)

Thank you.

Josh Widdicombe (3:58)

We've just played out your message. Yeah.

So, what's so sad about me, Stephanie?

SPEAKER_6 (4:06)

That's me. It was...

Josh Widdicombe (4:11)

Is he there?

SPEAKER_6 (4:13)

Yeah, this is Arthur.

Stephanie (4:14)

Hello, Arthur.

SPEAKER_6 (4:16)

It's Josh Widdicombe. You found him sad, didn't you?

Stephanie (4:24)

Sorry about that.

Josh Widdicombe (4:26)

It's all right. Do you know what? It sounds like you're driving, but...

SPEAKER_6 (4:30)

I am. I'm on the way to the New Forest.

Stephanie (4:34)

I said hello. She loves horses. She can't get enough of horses.
