SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Observe, the North American dad, 50s, great polo collection. He enters his vehicle information on Carvana. An offer appears in minutes. Remarkable. He squints, reads it again, smiles and says, dang, that's a good offer. The highest form of approval. No haggling, no hassle. No one called him boss.

He's still on the couch. Astonishing. Sell your car today on carvana.com. Pick up fees may apply.

Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with Theo, can you say Rob Beckett? No, Rob Beckett. Can you say Josh Widdicombe?

Josh Widdicombe (1:31)

No, Josh Widdicombe.

Rob Beckett (1:33)

Well done, Theo.

Josh Widdicombe (1:34)

There you go, Rob.

Rob Beckett (1:35)

There you go. Josh, I'm having some technical issues here.

Josh Widdicombe (1:38)

Why?

Rob Beckett (1:39)

Normally, on my other computer, I right click and can pin your little picture, but I can't. How do you right click on a Mac?

Josh Widdicombe (1:47)

You hold down control or is it shift?

Rob Beckett (1:51)

Here we go.

Josh Widdicombe (1:52)

Yeah.

Rob Beckett (1:52)

Here we go. My friend in the media strikes again.

Josh Widdicombe (1:56)

Eight months at the Guardian. Where are you?

Rob Beckett (1:59)

Where am I?

Can I be honest?

I don't actually know.

Josh Widdicombe (2:02)

Okay.

Rob Beckett (2:03)

I'm in a hotel. I couldn't tell you where I am right this second about doing Google Maps.

Josh Widdicombe (2:08)

Traitors again. You're not back on traitors, are you?

Rob Beckett (2:11)

No.

Josh Widdicombe (2:11)

This is Theo, aged 36 months from Bristol.

We have recorded this in the Depts of Potty Training. Long time listener. Fun fact. Josh once stayed in my house.

Rob Beckett (2:22)

Oh, what?

Josh Widdicombe (2:23)

In Bedminster, Bristol, 2009 Having needed a place to stay after he gigged at a comedy night called Oppo, yes. When we were housemate, Jared was the compare, Jared Hardy. Do you remember Jared Hardy, Rob?

Rob Beckett (2:35)

No, I don't think I gigged with him, but I won a big deal in the West Country like you.

Josh Widdicombe (2:38)

Well, I-

Rob Beckett (2:39)

I wasn't moving and shaking around the mean streets of Bristol.

Josh Widdicombe (2:42)

Too right. The big three.

Rob Beckett (2:43)

On the Crescent.

Josh Widdicombe (2:45)

Oh, Rob, I had to be doing Oppo a lot of Sundays. Loved Jared Hardy. He ran it. He kind of took it over from Mark Olver, and he ran it with Finn Taylor and Matt Ewens.

Rob Beckett (2:56)

What's Oppo mean?

Josh Widdicombe (2:57)

It's just the name of the comedy night. I don't know why it was called that.

Big fan of both Josh and Rob, and listen to the podcast every week. My wife, Heather, and I are also big fans of Josh and Strictly. Stay sexy and relatable. Adam, 478 months.

Rob Beckett (3:11)

Get on, Adam.

Josh Widdicombe (3:12)

Big bad, Adam. Once Jared Hardy's flatmate is 478 months, that's when you know you're old. That is the first sign you're old. I feel old.

Rob Beckett (3:23)

Do you?

Josh Widdicombe (3:23)

Then he's, I'm not 478 months.

Rob Beckett (3:26)

You're a hot young buck.

Josh Widdicombe (3:27)

He must be about the same age as me, and I was much older than Jared. Anyway, maybe he was an older person living with young students.

Rob Beckett (3:33)

No, maybe you're just two old men that lured back a young promoter to a random house in Bristol when you had power in the situation and privileged you to be in the main headline act.
