DHL Contacts Josh About His Son's Obsession
At 22:48 · chapter starts 22:04
In a genuinely heartwarming segment, Josh reveals that DHL reached out to the podcast after hearing about his son's deep obsession with the courier brand — offering to deliver branded toys to the boy in an actual DHL van he can have a look around. Rob's deadpan point — that it would be 'absolutely mental for them to deliver it not in a DHL van' — lands as the bit's punchline. Both hosts briefly reflect on the risk of making every childhood dream come true at age five, invoking Brooklyn Beckham as the cautionary tale of celebrity nepotism, before Josh suggests he might be able to get the kid a meet-and-greet with Rory Stewart.
After a previous episode mentioned Josh's son's obsession with DHL, the courier company got in touch and offered to deliver DHL-branded toys to his son in an actual DHL van.
