Podbit · Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe
After a day of dehydration and excessive water-drinking at a filming job, Rob developed an involuntary erection in the back of a taxi ten minutes from home. In sports shorts. The driver helpfully opened the door from outside, leaving Rob no cover. He had to hunch into his house claiming a bad back.

Two near-misses with age-inappropriate content provide the segment's comedy. First, Rob was watching Clarkson's Farm when his children spotted dogs being set up to breed and demanded to watch them 'make puppies.' He got them out of the room in time — which turned out to be absolutely the right call, because the scene that followed involved a graphically visible full canine erection and the dog completely missing the target, all in high definition. Rob's blow-by-blow description is delivered with the detailed precision of a man who has watched it multiple times in disbelief. The second incident involves his daughters watching Dance Moms — a Channel 4 reality show rated 11+, featuring arguments, mild profanity, and 'adult behaviour' — on his personal account. Because the account is his, the targeted adverts are aimed at a middle-aged man, not a child, which means mid-show the girls were served a promotional spot asking if their father was 'struggling to get an erection.' Cue awkward questions.
Rob's daughters were watching Dance Moms on his Channel 4 account. Because they were signed in as Rob, the ads were targeted at him — including one asking if he was struggling to get an erection. Cue awkward questions. Lesson: give your kids their own accounts.
Rob discovered that Dance Moms, which his children had been watching, carries an 11+ age rating for adult behaviour including arguing, profanity, and words like 'bitch' and 'hell'.
A broken pipe turned the Bad Friends studio into a hydrogen sulfide chamber. The crew denied smelling anything — which, as Andrew pointed out, makes their home lives deeply suspicious.
At a childhood sleepover in Sacramento, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises all over his face while he slept. He woke up, cried, and walked 7 miles down a dirt road before Eric Purvis's mom drove out to retrieve him.
On KSI's Make Me Laugh show, Bobby Lee got slapped so hard he fell and briefly blacked out — 5 minutes into the event. The rule was to use a tortilla, but the contestant used his bare hand instead.
What starts as a riff on Amber Alerts turns into an elaborate Speed remake: Bobby is a Hollywood tour guide whose bus shares a route with a kidnapper's identical bus, there's a bomb on board, and Keanu Reeves needs to be called immediately.
Their producer riffs a conspiracy theory about Lindsey Graham's death in Kyiv, which somehow leads to Bobby and Andrew discovering that every lyric of 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin secretly describes 9/11. They are disturbingly convincing.
Bobby Lee woke up Saturday morning to find three children splashing in his pool, along with a professionally hired swimming teacher — all arranged by friends who have keys to his house. His response: 'There's just too much joy here.'
Harold Ramis told a story about Caddyshack's cast doing drugs all day and night during Florida storm delays, with half their pay going to cocaine. Bobby Lee immediately wants to make that exact movie — and offers to relapse to do it.
Robby Hoffman had never heard of 'new towels.' A towel, in her world, was built with the house. When Sarah Silverman announced she'd bought new pool towels, it was a class-gap revelation.
Will Arnett pitched the perfect rich-person home for Robby: seven-hundred-thread-count sheets and brand-new towels — but a tiny, wrecked kitchen with a coil stove, chips, and Sprite. Best of both worlds.
