Starting point is 00:00:33 Hello, I'm Josh Riddickham. And I'm Robb. Welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell. The show in which Rob and I discuss what it's like to be a parent during lockdown, which I would say can be a little tricky. So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation. And to make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills. Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping. Or hopefully not. And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown parenting woe. Because let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. Hello and welcome to lockdown parent in hell with Josh Whittakom, Josh Peter Clinton,
Starting point is 00:01:27 and Rob, Rob Beckett, Bob Beckett. Good one, I like it. Who was that? Who was that? That was. So that is an email from Hannah Kittle and that is her youngest twin Florence and Darcy's the older twin and can you hear the hammering Michael? Yeah, what's that bagging? Is that bang? I thought that was on her clip. Is that in your house? Yeah, I'm gonna have to get me to stop. I'm gonna have to get him to stop.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm back in a sec. now long it takes you to come back. He's gone. You can hear just like rattling down a big ballroom. This is an awkward chat for Josh now. He's had to go and and Josh doesn't like talking to the bigger boys at the best of times listeners. He's had to go in there and confront a big strong builder man and he's only little Josh, four foot seven and he's got in there on his own to sort him. How was that Josh? Are you back yet? He's just getting down, just pulling his, okay. He stopped. How was that, how was that, Josh? It's an awkward chat, isn't it, talking to the builder? Well, yeah, but it's fine because there's so much other shit that's wrong with this house that he's got other things he can move on to for two hours. But that is all like, like it it, like, like, like, like, like, like, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it's to to to to, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, is, is, is, is, is, is to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to to to to to, to to, to, to, to, to, can you stop making noise by making something? I've got to go and talk, do a bit of light-hearted banter to distract people from their awful
Starting point is 00:02:51 children for an hour. So do you mind keeping it down, mate? He's slightly worried because he's just taken the frame off the window that's rotting. All right. So obviously we're having a break so that I can record a parenting podcast. I didn't, I wasn't clear on that with him. I was kind of... Oh, you wait till he gets on the WhatsApp chat of all his mates down on the other side. Anyway, he stops banging and the window. Yeah, and so if it rains in the next hour, I'm just, if you hear me go very quiet on this, because I've seen it started raining out the window............ th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. too. th. th. too. too. th. th. th. to be th. th. to be to to wait. that. to wait. to wait. to wait, to wait, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thathea. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. toea. to. to. to. to. to. to. ta. ta. t raining out the window. How are you, Josh? You're alright, you had a bit of a stress all week last week.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Has this week been better? Totally, so this is the weirdest thing. So obviously, I'm not sure whether she heard the recording or whatever, but, so we record these both the Tuesday and the Friday together, right? So it was Monday morning. I basically had a meltdown and listed all the the the the the She then went for her nap and woke up and it was like she was a different child. It just completely changed and she's been absolutely amazing all week. This is a formal apology to her, but she genuinely.
Starting point is 00:03:59 She just slept it off. She was just knackered. But she's kind of more or less dropped her nap now. It's come to that. Has she? Oh it's a big moment. Yeah. The first dropping of a nap is an absolute killer. So you was getting 90 minutes wasn't you midday? And now she's just up. She's gone. We try it. We did it yesterday. We did it yesterday. We did it. the try. We did it. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big. the big the big. the big the big the big the big the big. the big. the big. the big. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. thi. th. the the th. the the th. the big the big the big the big. th like that's it. But I would say don't be too hasty because it has been hot last week that will affect them getting to sleep in the evening as well as not being tired enough so just just bear that my fingers crossed just keep options open for a bit yeah don't don't cut that nap off yet. Well I we needed it yesterday we needed it yesterday because but it's fine it's, I've made my piece with it, you know, as long as I just keep putting in enough work during the middle of the day, I'll get my break that
Starting point is 00:04:49 way, that's the way I do it. Just keep booking a podcast. We're going to seven episodes a week now of this show. I did have a bit of a parenting mishap. So I've recorded, I recorded this live for you. Here it is. Just had a complete parenting nightmare. Well, almost. So my wife has gone for a socially distanced dinner and drink in the garden of our friend James. And it's just kind of about a mile away.
Starting point is 00:05:24 It's currently midnight. She texts me and she said she's walking back and I think, you can't walk back on your own. So I text her go, it's fine, I'll come and meet you. I'll walk and get you. And I'm literally getting my clothes on, like putting my shoes on and stuff. And she texts me and goes, you can't leave our daughter. You'd have just left her in the house and around. I'd completely fucking forgotten. What is wrong with me? Oh my God. So, home alone five would that have been? But it was so, do you know what, I've got a lot more respect for David Cameron after that because when he left his kid in the pub I thought it was impossible. I just, I just wasn't thinking. Yeah, because it was a stage where they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they do just they do just they do just they do just they do just they they do just their their their their their their their their their their their their the pub I thought it was impossible. I just I just wasn't thinking. Yeah. Because it was a stage where they do just go to sleep so deeply they're just quiet. You did
Starting point is 00:06:09 for you just have that moment of peace and you think I've got nothing else I could just go. Yeah. I'm surprised it doesn't happen but I'm sure it does but people don't you know offer that. You don't say oh what did you do last week. Oh, I left my kid. the to do the to do to do to do to do the to do to do to do their. their. to do to do their. to do their. their. their. to do. to do. their. to do. to do. to do. to do.

No one's admitting to that, even though it can happen. There's every chance, Rob, that that's what I did, but I've changed the story slightly so that it made me sound better. But I'm sure if anyone else has had one of those moments where they forgot they were a parent for a moment. Let us say not like, I mean like if you sort of went to go out or did get in the car and thought oh no my kid and stuff like that I've done that before though where I've like the one I forget sometimes to strap him in
Starting point is 00:06:50 the car seat and then that you're halfway down the road and like dad what my seatbel's not done be like don't move and then you try to pull a Oh God, we've bought a car this week as well actually. Oh, big week for the Widdicums! Big week for the Widdicums. What did you go for? A BMW X1, second hand. Ooh, second hand, put that in there, man of the people. Just to be clear, with the money I'm spunking on this fucking builder, I can't afford a new car. Second and X one. Oh, that's a good. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. to, to, to, to, to, ta. to-a. to. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. together. good one. They're reliable BMWs. I think, I don't know, I don't know anything either. I don't know, I know so little about cars. The whole experience has been absolutely so difficult for me. When you're on the phone and they're asking you
Starting point is 00:07:32 what you're looking for in a car, and you're thinking, color can't be the first thing I said. How long did he get? Black. I just wanted a black, simple, black or blue, like, nothing like... Or grey, silver, that sort. You don't like a purple one with eyelashes on the headlights or something like that. I basically don't want people to think that I'm a footballer. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, Josh, I'll stop me now. I don't think anyone would be confused which
Starting point is 00:08:07 one was the footballers. Well, even if I had a white car? Yeah, even in a white Rangeover, I think they'd know. That's a good family car, Josh X, I mean, I'm having a bit of car basically basically because now we do, I never really used, we had an old micro that's a bit newer. It's a th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi. I'm a thi, I'm a thi, I'm a thi, I'm had an old micro that's 15 years old and then we've got a Nissan Kashgai that's a bit newer, it's about five or six years old and that's the family car and then the micro is basically the one we used to have when Lou was a teacher and driving to them from school and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:35 But I've had to drive more because you-old micro and it is literally falling apart. The air con, I played golf last week on the hottest day of the year, right? Yeah. Didn't get hot at all, didn't burn. I got stuck in a traffic jam as the sun as the sun was coming down in my face. Even at the front, the side of my head. So I looked like, I was like, haught to get a half my face was just like mutilated from the sun and I had no aircon and I got burnt in a traffic jam and I was like I've got to get another little car because we need two cars now especially with the girls like when they start going like football or gymnastics and going off places and me I need it for work as well. So I'm in the market for a new car as well. the ne. I'm in the the market for a new car as well. Well if this. I'm. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.

Starting point is 00:09:37 as wobbleboard at lunch break what he's sawing something he sawing something something. Tell him to go for a wall. But surely he realizes that that room is above the room that was causing the problems in the first plane. How big is this piece of wood? Hang on it, I think he's got to turn your house into a detached house. I think he's cutting straight through the wall all the way down. It will have value. He's done it. He's got to turn your house into a detached house. I think he's cutting straight through the wall all the way down. It will have valid. He's done it. I think he's.

This is doing poly filler. Get him to do like a bit of sweeping or something? Like sweet that'll be loud. That would a wood he's just cut.

No, I can't do that. I don't want to pay congestion charge to get into London. Oh my God, I've become a boring old man.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You're not going to believe this. What's he doing? When I went in the room, I made him jump. He was so surprised to see me. He jumped out of his skin. You're quite a looming present so, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th th th th th my god. Is that Alan Shearer? Has it been a thrown? Gelly yally?

Oh yes, the kittles. My husband and I have four, a beautiful four-year-old twin girls, incredibly headstrong, inquisitive, lively, and in some instances. Incredibly headstrong is a warning flair for me. Yeah. I wouldn't, I'd argue that friends wouldn't describe them as that. That's a parent being kind, isn't it? Yeah, that's spin, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:12:13 That's spin, that's, that's the PR machine in overdrive there. That's the PRARVE. Yeah, incredibly headstrong this sounds. The youngest twin was left alone in the living room for a short while after preschool. We went through the palava that it was a bedtime routine, sat down to watch a bit of TV, switched on the TV and had black lines running down it. She had broken the TV. It was the youngest twin didn't want to be left out. On Monday after preschool, while we were upstairs, I looked around the living room,
Starting point is 00:12:52 and the new TV screen looked like it's snowing. The oldest twin had broken the TV. Oh my God. We have had to purchase yet another TV, which is going to be installed on a bracket eye up so no one can touch it. God, I did have triplets. So they're just hedge button telies. That is, that is headstrong. You can't get a stronger red than that, can you? Nutt in a telly.
Starting point is 00:13:13 So thank you to Hannah and her headstrong twins for that. We've got lots of great emails. We will go through them on th.

Starting point is 00:15:05 Nah, it's not all has cracked up to be like... Nah, yeah, of course. No. Your trademark likeability's come back to buy you on the earth. Yeah, I never thought it would. Honestly, I might even drop the accent, see if I put him off. Yeah, you have to change a whole comedy persona to get some sleep. Chris Ramsay's a moody one-line of comic now, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:32 A goth. I do not find like having a kid, like having a sort of a child that can do a few things for their self but not much. Like you still you know, he can himself a juice but I'd rather I'd rather make it than clear up his attempted making juice do you know what I mean do you not find that you're just like you're kind of like a waiter in a restaurant but there's not many people in like there's a couple of tables in the minute there's a tablain. So it's not rammed you're not rushed off the minute you're not rushed off off off off off off off off off the the the the the the the the the the thashed thashed the thashed thused thus.

That's basically the best we haven't described by, I've been a father, a parent of a toddler. Well, I've got a four-year-old and I'm at a point now where I'm just like, surely you can make yourself a sandwich, can't you? Like, you sort of be at what point? Four? Coe! It's been four, I've got to hand it to my son Robin, right?
Starting point is 00:16:25 The other day, I went upstairs to, my wife was getting ready and we were sitting chatting upstairs, and he was downstairs and I thought he was just watching TV sort of settled. And then he came up with a chocolate spread sandwich, like a Nutella sandwich, and I went to him. And I went to, and I went, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I went, and I went, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, the, the, the the the the, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the the the the the the the the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, my wife and I was like, did you make that you went? No, I went right. So I went downstairs expecting carnage. Um, he'd got a chopping board out, he'd got the bread out, he'd got a knife out, and he got the spread,
Starting point is 00:16:53 and he'd done the whole thing. And the only thing thin, that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was the bread out. Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah. You can eat 40 chocolate spread sandwiches. I made them eat lords at the same time when you catch them smoking. Chris, are you a strict parent? Are you a strict parent? I can't imagine you telling him off because you're so happy to go lucky and chilled.
Starting point is 00:17:21 How do you deliver a like a telling off when you're you know I don't like doing it I really don't like doing I don't think I don't think any parent I mean if you sit here and go I love love telling me kids off it's the best part of me day you've got you've got some problems like but um they just kind of just kind of have stern words I don't really like shouting shouting I mean you've you've you've you've the the the the the the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the their. their. I their. their. I the the the the the the the their. their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I the to the but it just doesn't listen. I mean, you've met me, you've been in places with me, like imagine me but for, like he doesn't stay asterly, he doesn't concentrate, he doesn't listen. So sometimes you've got to go, hey, so that's me, my favorite one is,
Starting point is 00:17:53 hey, and then you sort of look, and then you go, really good with him, like she's much, but I see her doing things and I go, yeah, I should, I should handle it like that the other day when, you know, when I was shouting, me and him were both crying. Like, it's, I just, what she's got is a lovely little technique where you'll do a little bit of a telling off and you'll sort of sit there sad and then so I always I think I'm quite needy though I try I move on at the cuddle too early I'm like put that down cuddle and he's like no still on the time out stepdad yeah I just want the cuddle immediately I'm like come on please please just love just get you love yeah well that is a thing
Starting point is 00:18:38 comedians are need that attention they want you know to be like to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. to tho. the the the. Yeah. It's to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the is. I I the is. the is. I theeeeea. I theeea. I theean. I's theeean. I's is. I's thee is the the the the that attention they want, you know, to be like. So it's hard when you've got to be the bad cop. And how's it working in your house? And so like, we're looking after the kids. It's been different in lockdown, obviously, because you've not been working. But normally, are you working full-time and Rose, because I know Rosie, because I know Rosie, you know, social media, more the child care? She is yeah she's basically been it's been really strange for Rosie because before she started and we kind of got together and she
Starting point is 00:19:09 didn't really she was sort of doing singing and doing a bit of presenting and stuff locally and then what happened was when we had Robin and she had just got a job on Capital North East but then she sort of packed in capital to have him and then and then went back and then she felt like she to to thu. th th th th th th for the th for the th for the th for the th for the th for th for the th. She th. She th. She th. She thi. She thi. She thi. She thi. She's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, they. So, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, they. So, so, so, so, so, so capital to have him and then and then went back and then she felt like she went back too early so she kind of stopped doing that and then I basically toured for For essentially three years non-stop and she was at home with Robin Last year we did the podcast she got really big on Instagram she starts getting all our own things We're can't believe it honestly honestly over the moon like it is just me and her talking about an arena tour with it? Yeah, we're gonna. We can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can't, we can't, we can't, we can't, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, talking just talking out of that shit in the kitchen. I mean do an arena tour with it. Yeah we're gonna we're gonna when that's allowed again when we're allowed to go out. We'll break it will hopefully be breaking the world record for the biggest live podcast because we're sold out Wembley in like in like a day. Wembley arena. Amazing. I mean it's amazing it's it's amazing but it's just hanging there. It's just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just the their. It's a their. It's just their. It's just their. It's just their. It's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's a that's just a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a th. I thou. I's a th. I's a when we're going to leave again. I'm honestly not bothered who I leave him with.
Starting point is 00:20:05 I might just put him in a bin and just, honestly, I'm not gonna, you know, normally you're going, don't let him stay with the grandparents too long because you know, they let them get away with murder. And honestly, I'm gonna, I'm gonna to prom instead of you. Just go look come back let us know how you get on in your rear levels come back come back and say your dad. But basically it's really been really strange for Rosie because she was essentially in lockdown years ago while she just had a child and I was on to her and she had no identity and not know what to do. And last year you did the podcast and she did everything and it's sort of all came crushing back for Rosie because it's now like right you're back at home you've got a toddler and you can't go any way so it's kind of all went back so I've been trying me hard as to take the lion's share while
Starting point is 00:20:51 you know while we've been in lockdown plus I'm essentially unemployed apart from the podcast and she's still got lots of stuff to do on Instagram and things so she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's she's th she's th she's th she's doing a th she's doing a th she's doing a th th th. It's switched around now really. So you're the bank caregiver. Yeah, it's completely swapped on its head. I weirdly wrote like the idea for a script about that happened and ages ago. And I couldn't come up with the idea of why it would happen. And I was like, oh, lockdown made it happen. She's literally made it the breadwinner. earning money and I'm not. How do you feel like to a bit feel like this is, because I presumably you kind of never imagined that this would happen. Do you, are you loving it or are you missing working? Do you know what? Basically, I've always wanted more time at
Starting point is 00:21:35 home and I've always said, right, after this year, at the end of every tour I'll get drunk in Newcastle or whatever and I'll go right right I'm having the year off I want to see my family and then you know my management phone and go we've got this and I go of course and I can do whatever the thing is. But I've always... Five months of strictly. Yeah, yeah. But I've always supposed to be a year off. Last year was supposed to be a year off and I was strictly and I was away for you can't train at home you can't train at home you can't. the the the the their. the the their. their. their. their. their. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. But. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. I'm. Yeah. I'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

You've got to go to London every five minutes. But yeah, so it's, I've always wanted time off and I've always wanted more time at home and Christ alive, this is not how I wanted it and it's not how I pictured it, but I have to, when I, because we all have, let's be honest to you, we're all having days where sometimes you just don't want to go out of bed, you're like, what is the point, what, what, what is the point, what is the point, the point, the point, the point, and I, the point, and I, and I, I, and I, I, and I, I, and I, and I, I, and I, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. th. to. to. to. th. to. to. to. to, to, to, th. And, th. part of us that say, oh God, I would give anything to go back there now. But yeah, it's, I'm trying to look on the bright side of it and every time if I get down,
Starting point is 00:22:30 if I get annoyed, if I get a bit short with Robin, I just try and think right, look, this isn't going to last forever, you know, we're either goingthat people, you know, can sort of act what normal, whatever normal is again in public and hopefully come to gigs. Because my thought has been, I don't know if you guys have thought this, what's going to happen if the go, yeah, okay, you can go to theaters now. It's still around but you can go to the theaters. I mean, we've had tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tough tou tou tou've had tou, to have their to have tou, their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I've their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their, their. their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I. And, I their. And, I their. And, I their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. And, th. And, tho, tho'. And, thooo'. And, to'. And, tho'n't thooo'n't thoo'n't their, their, their. And, and, and, and hopefully, the crowd aren't feeling it. I can't imagine what a gig's gonna be like when half them are fearing for their fucking lives. Do you know what I mean? Half them are fear from the rise you can't hear half them laughing because they got fucking masks on. I'd rather there was a vaccine if I'm totally honest with you. Of course. Do you want to go let's go to Wembley Arena to see the podcast or, you know, and maybe die or to sit at home and listen to it. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:23:28 You know the release it on Friday with no health scares. All right, okay, good, yeah. I'm not going back to university to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber one for students. It saves you on Uber and Uber eats. I'm there for zero dollar delivery to to to up to 5% off smoothies and 5% Uber cashback on rides. Just to be clear, I'm there for savings. Not whatever you think University is for. Get Uber 1 for students. A membership to save on Uber and Uber eats.
Starting point is 00:23:58 With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student. Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary. Eligibility and member terms apply. How was it though, look there with Robin, you know, was it all right? Was it fun or was there any disasters or, you know, the main one has been, right? And I can't blame him because he hasn't done it on purpose. But sometimes, you know, sometimes been sent to test you, but sometimes he does things and I think this is specifically being orchestrated
Starting point is 00:24:28 to piss me off, like specifically. So obviously lockdown, we've got to stay at home, we're going to to do the foreseeable. He's going to have more screened. He's on the tele, he was watching tell for about 10-20 minutes and I stood in front of him and I looked at him and one of his eyes was moving into the middle. He started going cross-eyed the first day, the first day. So he literally went, oh more screen time, what's that? The opticians are shut, the opti. their opti. their time to go cross-in. It's to go cross, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the first the first the first the first the first the first the first day, the first day, the first day, the first day, the first the first day, the first the first day, the first the first day, the first day, the first the first day, the first day, the first their. goes into the middle and you look at him and you go, I feel guilty for you watching this. You're sitting, you're sitting watching Tom and Jerry or whatever and I'm like, this is bad, this is really, really worrying and, you know, we've been trying to get him referred to specialists and all kinds, but I just think, I just really think he did it on purpose. I just really think, I's just, everything is heightened.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Everything has been heightened during the lockdown. And it's, you know, honestly, Rob, just there when you said, what was it like during lockdown? And you sort of mentioned it, the past tense, I nearly mentioned it, and you sort of joy there when you said it, and it was like slight past tense. Yeah, because it's just been, it's been really, he's my best mate and it's lovely to be with him and have so much time with him, but freaking else, oh you just wish there was a pause button. I just wish I could go right, pause for one second because he started playing on the switch, we started playing on, basically I walked in the living room one day
Starting point is 00:25:56 and he was watching YouTube kids and he was watching someone play on Mario Odyssey and I was like, you know, you you you you you you you you you, you know, we can play on that. So his mind was blown that he could sit and play on Mario Odyssey with me. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, it was great, man. And it's such a lovely gentle game. But it's also, it's one, it's genuinely, I think one of the best computer games ever made Mario Odyssey. It's incredible. It's incredible. It's just. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was great. It was. It was great. It was great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great. It's great this is this is a dream. He's just watching his play This is just the greatest thing in the world. This is like movie your mate house, but they never want a shot And then it's daddy can I have a turn and then I've just got to sit biting me lip while he's just walking Mario into a fucking wall for 45 minutes You know what I mean? You're too old to give him a control that doesn't work? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh? Oh, the the the the the the the the they? Oh? Oh? Oh, they? they? they? they? they? they? this. this? this? This? This? This? This? This? This. this. This? This? This. this. this? This? This. this? This. this? This. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the greatest?

I mean? Is it too old to give him a control that doesn't work and you
Starting point is 00:26:45 pretend? Because I'll do that at a moment. Oh my God, that's a mate, right, I'm going to order one to do. I'm going to order another control. There you go and then you're going, oh well Daniel, well Robin, look, you just did that. That is a, you know, I don't, I want him to walk into the wall and he's not doing that. Oh God, but yeah. It's the turning it off though it's it's going it's going, it's going, right that's enough Mario now finished and he's like but no but Mario's still there why you were turning it off and it's just world war three every time we turn it off. So I've played the um there's a Sonic Olympic Sonic game. Yeah, yeah. And I was playing that with my daughter's four and it's basically, it's really like for kids so they're just a shake of control and it makes their character run. Anyway, so she beat me on it a couple times, then I beat her.
Starting point is 00:27:35 And she went in a full meltdown because she lost. She just, she's a whenever she, there's a running race or something, she doesn't want to then she cheats so she'll say to a two-year-old, ready, steady, and then run just before go and has to win. And I just, I don't know what we're doing because it's awful. It's sort of like, you know, when you see documentaries about like athletes and athletes, like, that's a successful, she's Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, like, like, to, to, to, to, she's, she's, she's, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she's, she's, and she's, and she's, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to, and to. to. to, and to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to have to tow the line here, aren't you, between make her a competitive, sport and genius and, you know, make it bearable to be around for other children when this lockdown finishes. Yeah, you've got an awful nightmare, horror child.
Starting point is 00:28:16 But you know, in 20 years, Rob, she could be starring in Space Jam. She could have six NBA titles. Is Rob being back at school or nursery or anything or is he not? The nurseries are going to start letting them back in in bubbles I think, bubbles of six the said, groups of six and one morning and one afternoon and I think that's going to happen shortly I think that's going to happen in the next few weeks or so I'm not sure. Be honestly I let Rosie deal with all that. I got no idea. Yeah I'm honest. I'm like that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm going that I'm going that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho. tho. that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going th. I think that's going to happen in the next few weeks or so. I'm not sure. Be honestly, I let Rosie deal with all that. I have no idea. Yeah, I'm honest, like, I said that here there and I realize I was just repeating something I heard her say to someone on the phone. But you've got no idea.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Just things I've heard. Yeah, the Nintendo Switch is where my expertise is where my expertise, I'm What's he like as a child then? Does he, um, has he been an easy child as a parent? Or do you think you've got a kind of child that's kind of intense and... I think he is possibly the most intense, one of the most intense children. But again, you've met me, you know, do you know? And Rosie's not a quiet either, is she? Rosie's not a shy, retiring and warflower either. He's like, he's, he's th. Rosie, th. Rose. Rose. Rose's not a th. Rose's not a th. Ro's not a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's not thi's not th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I mean, Rosie's a, Rosie's an amazing singer. She's such a good singer and when I first got together,
Starting point is 00:29:34 you'd hear a singer now and then around the house and you'd be like, oh, that's lovely. And people think, oh, does she sing around the house? you know, yeah, now and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, you're, they, they, they, th. th. Roe, th. R. R. R. R. R. R. Rose, th.

Rosie, she's a on begin to bell out like a show number from another room and it literally sounds like someone screaming like when you can't hear it so he's got that to sort of content with they's got my sort of non-stop talking and loudness and then if me and her are having some kind of heated debate I don't know if your kids do this but not an argument because we don't argue in front of really but if we're having like you like you know oh well you said that I know well you said that kind of wind each other up he just goes oh okay so we're playing who can be the loudest dickhead or what and he'll just start screaming and going crazy do you know what I mean? Do you think for attention or just to be a part of it? Sometimes he runs and get his drum kit the true he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he he he he he he's he he he he he the he the he he he to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to he he he he he he he he he he he he the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toy the the try try try toy toy the toy the the toy the the the the the the the the time, is it loud time? Is it a boom boom boom craziness?
Starting point is 00:30:26 But he's a loving, really genuinely loving, lovely little boy. And I'm so proud of him for how lushy is. But you know, like anything, it's like anything with parenting. And you know, if I came on his podcast now and I just talked about how much I loved him, you'd be like, well, that's nice. That was wet wet. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. th. I. I.

He's a he's a he's a but that's that's be on floor Chris. Yeah that was wet I've always said this I remember I got a tweet once from someone saying you just slagging your kid off and I was like well I can't just go on about how much I love him but that's that's taken as red yeah that's a given of course I love them I have to do you don't have to go though. Do you and Rosie ever disagree about parenting?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Is there anything that sort of cropped up where you've disagreed on how something should be done or are you quite on the same page? Do you know what? I stopped, I stopped sort of trying to fight that battle a long time ago. She's genuinely just better than me. I've said it before me stand up. And I know that sounds like a tooomfew. to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be tha. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi. thi. thi. thi. their tho tho tho tho thoom. thi. thi. thoom. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. thi. their thi. their their their thi. their thi. their their tho. their their their their thoooooooooooooooome.

I's that's that's that's th me and I know that sounds like I've been institutionalised by her during lockdown and I'm now just her mouthpiece and which is just really good she worked in nurseries back in the day as well and she's just really really good with kids. So like I say it's it's yeah but you know
Starting point is 00:31:33 sometimes I feel like going well if you're so good you do it all all the time 247 but it doesn't work like that that's on bonus tho, that's that's a bonus that's a bonus that's a bonus that's a bonus that's a bonus. that she's like having a professional living in your house to help you. Absolutely, yeah. For me, because lose a teacher, secondary school teachers, anything comes with education, I just walk out the room. I'm like, yeah. There's literally no point me doing any of this. You're the education person, but it comes to need to speak to someone, I'll sort them out. If they'd got to ring someone
Starting point is 00:32:05 up or speak to someone in public, I'll do that. You do teach it. And you just tap out. So it must be the same for you with the nursery. Yeah, well I used to, what I used to do, I'd just remember this, this used to be our main pet peeve. This used to be the main that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th that th th th th th th th th th th was thi thi was thi was thi was thi was tho thi was to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their their their their their their their their was th. th. th. th. th. to be th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be tap tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. tape. too. too. tape. to to to to to tap off, I would kind of chime in as well, like a hype man. Like, do you know what I mean? I'd like, it would be like bad cop, bad cop and I'd like chiming as well. She'd be like, Robin, put that down, get down, get down. I'd be like, put that, do what your mom says. And she's like, having if he's being told off I just have to walk away because there's a part of us that I'm like look I'm helping and it's like you're not helping Chris you're making it much worse and you're stressing them out yeah crazy I could I could be a good parent too I'll just do what you do
Starting point is 00:32:55 and am I right and saying to Robin's lost he lost he lost his front teeth oh god yeah so basically he had one of them you the their their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they took took to took to took to took they they they're they're they're they're they they're they're they they they they they they they eth didn't they? Oh God, yeah, so basically he had one of them, you know the balance bikes where there's no pedals that just run, they're basically running on a bike. He had one of them from, you know, as old as you allowed one, I think it was two, just before two you allowed them, and he had one and he was amazing at the point of he didn't understand fear. Like he got so good on this and he was just like whoo and it was like everyone used to say my God he's fantastic on that and it's a real boner contention right so there's this place in South Shields called the amphitheatre it's
Starting point is 00:33:33 it's an open air performance space down on the sea front that they do like little festivals there the summer and it's got a under like an under walkway bit that's covered over. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. th. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the their. their their their the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. the they. the the the their their their their the. Now the floor of that is tiled, right? But there's sort of sand everywhere because it's, you know, it's windy, it's the north. So he's coming down this hill that's paved and then it goes under the tiled floor bit and turns to the right, okay? And what did it, he's only little and I'm running alongside him on this bike and my heart, hearts, and th, it's th, th, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, th. So, th, th, thi, thi, thi, so thi, so thi, so, thi, th. So, th. So, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the the thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thi. So, thin, thi. So, thi. So, thi. So, thi's, thi. So, thi's, thi's, the the thi, th it. It's terrifying, right? And Rosie's just sitting watching her. And he went down and I went, right, I don't think we should do this again. He went, one more, I went, right, one more. He did three times. Three's a magic number. I let him do three. I went, there go, that's it. And he started crying. And he went, I want to do it again, go on, just let him do it again. And we did it again and on that one, he's got too much sand on his wheel, he slipped and his face hit the deck and he both his front teeth, he snapped his two front teeth in half. And it was the worst, one of the worst moments in my life, like, without a doubt, like, he just hit the decked and he lifted his face and their was was was was was was, th......... And, th. And, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, they, th, they, th, their, their, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, the worst, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, the worst, was, the worst, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, one. the worst, one.

Starting point is 00:34:48 Like, oh what do you doing this? Oh my God, of course you are right. Oh my God, Rosie, she was like, oh my God, Rosie, she was like, calm you're driving down. She was like, calm down, go and go and get the car, the car, and I ran't, and I ran, and I ran, and I ran, and I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, like, like, I'm, like, like, like, like, I'm, I'm, and I'm the the the the the the their, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I's, and I's, and I's, I's, I's, I. And, I. And, I's, I. And, I. And, I. And, I. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th t th t t t t t t t th th th th th th th th corner, the jump in the car, we drove off, she was like, calm you're driving down and we're gonna crash on the way to the hospital, you're idiot. So we drove up there to the hospital, we had a look at it, went at the dentist the day after they had the sort of filled them in, but then all these gums were like, They're just so resilient and is that I don't know where you get it from. I'm a wimp and he is literally the one of the hardest people I've ever met in me like. He's like nails. It's it's unbelievable. Does Rosie refute that story then and or is it given that she said one more time?
Starting point is 00:35:39 And you stopped? All years I've known you and you don't believe me? Well what is it? I'm not saying is it the the the the the the the the the the the th the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho th. Is thi tho tho th.

I the years I've known you and you don't believe me. Well what is this? I'm not saying it. I'm on your side here, but if we get Rosie on the podcast will she say it differently or is it a given in the family? She's busy she can't come on your podcast. Leave it. Do not contact her. Right. We're gonna bring her out now like I'm surprised surprise. Let me just clarify the point here. If we had Rosie on the show, would she say that she said go again and you said it's dangerous? Would you agree? She will then probably put forward the point that I should have just caught him like I did the previous three times? So, I mean, we've had that argument a lot........... to, to, to, to, to, th. to, th. to, th. to, thi, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to be, to be, to, thi, to be, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, the point, th..... to, to, to, th....... to, to, to, to, th. to, to, th. to, to, th. to, to, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to times. Fair enough. So, I mean we've had that argument a lot.
Starting point is 00:36:25 But what was interesting about what happened was, what you take, we took him to Newcastle to the RVI hospital to get his, to get the teeth te to get his, um, to get the teeth out, right? And it was so strange, I had to kind of drop-way corridor, you kind of dropped them off and then you walked around the other way and then he came out with the other end like a conveyor belt, like dropping your luggage at the airport, but like really... Did you tie something around him? So he recognized him worried I think I
Starting point is 00:37:06 was probably crying I'm a disgrace but I was walking around and he came out and he was sitting eating both front teeth gone sitting eating jelly on the nurse's knee and she was like I can't believe it she was like literally we'll put a tiny bit of the gas of the gas to just a child or did they didn't have to probably put him asleep they just did it and it was out there's the the the the the the the other the the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. I was. I was. I was just. I was just. I was just. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.the gas? I can't remember, but they didn't have to properly put him asleep, they just did it and it was out and there's other kids screaming and he was just sitting there eating a little tub of jelly, just buzzing, and he was honestly we hadn't realized. But he was a different kid once I got them taken out, he was all good. Well yeah, the front teeth and they're a bit wobbly. We would take to the dentist and they said they'll have a firm up or fall out. So they fell out when she was like six months ago. Sorry, that's a very gung-ho attitude. I hate it when medical professionals just expect you to be as cool as they are with stuff like that. They'll firm up a fall out. No! They're not. They'll have a live-all teeth th or fall th or fall th or fall th or fall th or fall th or fall th or fall th or with it. I know, but they did fall out.
Starting point is 00:38:05 So she's had, she hasn't had two front teeth for like about six months and she's only four and a half so it's another like year, it could be another two years. Yeah. Until she had it and it's so, I forget but you know, she's gonna look completely different with when she gets all her teeth, you see people strangers say, oh, are you being kissing the girls who've lost your front teeth? And he always properly loudly goes, no, I fell off me bike. And you're like, of a flapper and a bit emotional and Rosie, you know, it's a bit more level-headed with stuff like that. How was, how did you find the birth?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Was you there for the birth? And was it like, did you, how did you cope? Because I found it very difficult and very stressful and very stressful when you lose all, because there's nothing you can do. Yeah, there was that, I mean, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. th. that, that, that, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thr. thr. thr. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thr. tho. tho. tho. whole world. There's nothing you can do. And I remember at one point during the, so Rosie was really shown really big, like Robin was a huge bump and we went for a scan and they didn't know if it was like sort of water,
Starting point is 00:39:16 retention and stuff or if he was actually genuinely massive. They did a really weird thing. Again it was kind of like, well he's either 8 pound or 11 pounds. And I was fuck you need a new machine like that's that's your thing like that's your parameters like what the hell so he's either quite big or fucking huge like so she didn't want to see section they said you can have a C section said she'll try normally and again as a man I'll never understand that and do you want I mean like do you want that out now or do you want to like possibly sit for 36 hours in agony? Um, now is now okay? But you know anyway I
Starting point is 00:39:54 mean I mean a C-said it's a big thing to be fit afterwards and it you can daily moving that but anyway she em I went out half a thrown the kind of the she was induced and everything I had to go out and like sit in the corridor and have a little cry and then she ended up having to have a C-section because he was and he was 10 pound 11 and a half whoa wow that's how big he was which is I never had a frame of reference for how big kids were ever until I realized telling people that I always get that reaction people always just go yeah I mean there is a frame of reference and there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I there I was I was I was I mean I mean I was just I mean I mean I was just just I was just just just I was just just just just just just I was just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there there was a there there there was there there there there is a there is a frame of reference and that's not on the frame of reference. That's a big old baby. But she had a C-section in the end and like they were like, oh you're going to stand this side and I was like no chance are you getting me business end. Like no chance I had my like forehead on her forehead up the kind of hold the gown up like you know when you're getting changed at the beach and you're kind of holding
Starting point is 00:40:46 your faces and then you're doing whatever down there and you have suction and blimming slurping and all kinds of crap and they got him out and he was that big they were genuinely just like pissing theirselves laughing and like shouting of other like midwives and nurses and go look at the size of this one dude and I'm going oh yeah i they're a girl? Like, what is it? Oh, yeah, it's a boy. But look at the size of him, and it was a man. Oh. Were they holding him up, like, when they catch a big fish, like getting the photo? A few of them. They got a creamer.
Starting point is 00:41:14 They're a the sandwiches and it's just out and the wrap it up when it's gone the other end. Do I mean, a conveyor belt of get them out. But it was, I mean, it was still amazing, one of the most, you know, it's one of the, one of the madthe physical trauma. I mean I don't know how the head's doing. It's unbelievable. Lou is the first one. Lou didn't have any any pain relief whatsoever. I mean that's just showing off. It's like Ronnie. She's only six pound though for baby, literally half the size of her fields. You know I still say no pay relief of a six pounder.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Absolutely. That's just incredible, man. I've said this millions of times, if men were in charge of having babies, wouldn't there be no one, wouldn't be sitting here now. The first blocker would have went, fuck that, and that would have been it. Hey, yeah. Chris, thanks so much. Yeah, Chris, thanks. to thrown.

Yeah, we are not genuinely, I know what can take the make and you know,
Starting point is 00:42:27 I can say it's been a nightmare and blah, blah, blah, but we all, you know, we're all closer as a family because at the end of the day he's enjoyed seeing his mom and obviously me more because I was supposed to be on tour. Yeah, their time of this I was supposed to be on tour. I have enjoyed, you know, spending more time with Rosie. And don't tell her though, because you know, she'll hold it against us. We really got what book finished, which I don't think we would have done if I was on tour. My plan was to tour while get a divorce so can you it's everything at the but the book will stop the book will stop dude we are locked in
Starting point is 00:43:13 big style right that's not true the podcast will double in popularity if they carry it on divorced what a list on that oh yeah imagine they just spit off into two team Rosie I've told her before we'll do can't can the the the the the they can they can the they can the they can they can they can the they can the they can they they they they they they they they the they they they they they the they they they they they they they they they they they the they the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toy tou toy toy to tell to to toy to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their're just split off into two.

We'll just do that. You should do a fake splitting up, but if right in stitk, that's a great way to go. Just like a fake separation from it. We'll have to get a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake a fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake. A fake.

I genuinely think Chris would be a lovely dad to have.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Yeah, he's so energetic and chipper. Yeah. I can't imagine Chris being down. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, or angry. But like, also, you know, I know Chris pretty well. And when kids do stuff that's a bit naughty, normally it is funny, but it's so hard not to laugh when they do something. So I think he's a bit like me where like you sort of, you know you should be telling them off, but you can't help cracking up. Yeah. So it's so it so so so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so hard so so so so so to so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so to so to so to so to to to to to to to to to to be so to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. the. the. the. the. to the. to the. to to to to to the. to the. to the. to to sort of do any discipline. That description of the tooth-breaking accident sounds absolutely. I suppose it's the kind of thing that like, it's your worst nightmare is apparent in a way, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:33 That moment when you must watch that happen, and then the trip to hospital with the kid, oh my God. It's awful, isn't it sort of the thought of just like the teeth seeing his poor face of the teeth hanging out and blood everywhere he like oh my god. It's lucky it happened with his first teeth that's the idea is that how you felt when your daughter lost her first yeah I mean yeah I is what it is you can't get too worked up at it so but luckily it was less traumatic for us so it was more like oh yeah they've six. So yeah she just you know what was the phrase that your dentist used? Oh they'll firm up or fall out thank you very much. It sounds like something Alan Sugar would say at the end like in a boardroom. Yeah now time synergy you lost the task. It's time to firm up or fall out you're fired.
Starting point is 00:45:18 It'll be good to speak to Rosie as well, because I've got the feeling Chris has got absolutely no idea what's happening with Robin's nursery. He literally, he admitted it, he panicked, he went, I've got no idea, I overheard Rosie say that, so it'd be quite interesting to know. That shows how laid back Chris is. Because I was across every news story about nursery, every email we got. Like there isn't a bit of information I didn't devour in the last two months about nurseries. You treated it like transfer rumors. Sources all over the place.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Sources say, just Googling on like random French websites. You know, the countdown clock on sky, I had one of them to know where it really opened. They were just all those people stood outside school where we've seen a few teachers come their their their their their their their their their their their their th th.. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the those people stood outside school. We're joined here at the nursery school where we've seen a few teachers come and go. It's looking likely that may be a decision on Monday morning. Leaning out my window of my car talking about whether I'm taking my daughter to nursery. We're going to try and get a kid into nursery in the last minute. We'll see what happens and we'll go from there. Ch-We'll go from there. Cheers, Harry. Do you know the worst thing? We'll come back to football again, so I think we should stop the chat. Yeah, let's stop chatting.
