This episode is presented by Monzo. Josh, I love the summer holiday, aside from being asked for an ice cream every 32 seconds.

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

**SPEAKER_7** (1:53)
Casey, can you say Rob Beckett?

**SPEAKER_8** (1:56)
Rob Beckett.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:59)
Can you say Josh Widdicombe?

**Rob Beckett** (2:01)
Josh Widdicombe.

**Michael** (2:03)
Well done.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:05)
There we go.

**Rob Beckett** (2:05)
I like that one. I like the ladies, the tone of her voice.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:08)
Yeah. Hi, Rob, Josh and Michael. This is my son Casey. He's 35 months old. He's finally learned to say your name, sort of. I've been listening to podcasts for the past three years and yet to switch off halfway through an episode.
I'm eight months pregnant, another little boy on the way. So about to dive back into the beautiful chaos all over again. Once I've recovered, I'll be straight into training for the London Marathon. No.
Assuming I can make it more than a few kilometers without weighing myself or questioning my life choices.

**Rob Beckett** (2:35)
I really don't do it.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:37)
I'm also running for Evelina London Charity, London Children's Charity.

**Rob Beckett** (2:42)
Lovely.

**Josh Widdicombe** (2:43)
I'm originally from West Malling, although I've called Wimbledon home for the last five years, where I live with my husband Gary and our son Casey, and soon our newest little addition. Thanks for helping keep me sane through all the madness. Georgia, 361 months.

**Rob Beckett** (2:56)
Now, I'm going to ask a question about charity fundraising. When your friends are doing something, Josh, we're not two minutes in, we're a minute in.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:06)
Yeah, I know. I'm hungry.

**Rob Beckett** (3:08)
It just doesn't get me, you know.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:10)
I can't eat because my yogurt is my tripod.

**Rob Beckett** (3:14)
My heaven is my half-pipe.
My yogurt is my tripod. Sorry, my yogurt is my tripod. My yogurt is a tripod. My yogurt is a tripod. I don't know why that's just really stuck in my head. Second yaw. There it is. You've tried to mask. Josh, look, a podcast is an intimate relationship between two minds and mouths that are connecting. Yeah.
Would you want a lover to yaw in your face?

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:42)
Tell you what I can get.

**Rob Beckett** (3:43)
What's it talking about? Chari, here's a question. Right. So this is a bit of a...
I might have to work this out live, but I've just thought of something that I think I believe. Now, stop yawning. That's three.

**Josh Widdicombe** (3:58)
I'm tired.

**Rob Beckett** (4:03)
So when you get a message from a friend that says, can you donate, I'm doing something for Chari?

**Josh Widdicombe** (4:09)
Yeah.

**Rob Beckett** (4:11)
And they go, oh, hi, me or my wife's doing this for charity. Can you donate?

**Josh Widdicombe** (4:15)
Right. Yeah.

**Rob Beckett** (4:16)
So basically, what you think is, I don't give a what they're doing. I've not even read it. I've just got to pay some money, so I'm not the one that hasn't.

**Josh Widdicombe** (4:24)
Yeah.

**Rob Beckett** (4:24)
And I don't need the guilt of being the only one in the French group that hasn't paid.
