Podbit · Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe
While watching Clarkson's Farm, the kids asked to see the dogs making puppies. Rob got them out just in time — because when they pressed play, the dog completely missed its target and the resulting scene was graphically explicit on full camera.

Rob had two separate one-on-one days with his daughters over the weekend, both deliberately unplanned. The first involved a trip to the Glades shopping centre with the goal of floating: no agenda, no bookings. For about ninety minutes this was fine. Then came the creeping awareness of nothing to do, and his daughter herself admitted that having a plan is actually good. They ended up in an arcade playing Mario Kart with sweat dripping off their noses in 34-degree heat, then bowling, then a spontaneous stop at M&S for a new top (for her), and finally Miller and Carter for a fillet steak kids menu at about £16 for two courses. Rob uses the story to interrogate a longer pattern: 15 years of hectic professional life have made him treat weekends like a tour schedule, packing them with destinations and activities until they feel like work. He's actively trying to break the habit — but as Josh points out, he's been saying this for four years.
Rob reflected that over-scheduling weekends with activities can make family time more stressful than relaxing, and he is now actively trying to leave weekends unplanned.
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.
