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 Parenting Hale with Josh Winnockham and Bob.

That's two different children Rob. I was going to say I just thought one of them had a spliff for the second word. For the second name. Very much more chilled vibe for the Rob Beckett, wouldn't it? Yeah, well that is three-year-old Thomas, who is the chilled one and six-year-old Charlie. And I had to ask Thomas a few times as he wouldn't stop screaming no Simpsons at me to begin with because I was interrupting his YouTube video but eventually he gave him that. He wanted to get it over and done with so they could watch YouTube again, didn't he? Exactly. He's not into the podcast. He's not into the podg. Give him time, give him time. He'll be listening back to this one day. He will.

He'll find it. He'll find when he's got kids and he'll regret that. How are you Rob? That was his moment. I'm all right, mate. I'm not too bad. I did. Did, did the, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. Did, did. the, did.

Yeah, that's how it works. Anyway, I had a day the other day. I had the kids, I had the kids, because I've been working a lot. I said, look, you just go out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out. Yeah, so basically, right? She went out for the day and I got up with the kids,

even though I'd work the night before, and normally I don't, that's somebody the vibe, if I'm working late, I got up with the kids, at like 6 a.m. then she went out for the day, I took them out right? Oh then I thought I'll go home and just chilling the garden. I was having, no I didn't. I took a four-year-old and a two-year-old to the shops for the weekly shop. That's right. That's right, full trolley. Big shop. They were both out of the troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. try. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. troll. trolly. trolley. trolley. trolley. trolley. trolley. trolley. trolley. tho. tho. tho, trolly. trolly. trolly. trolly. trolly. trolly. trolly. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

But if it keeps them quiet them chucking stuff in, slam dunking it

in like basketball. So I did a full shop, yeah? Anyway, I got them home and then I set up this new playmobile toy and played with them actually, you know, interacted with them and then I tided up the hole downstairs, loaded the dishwasher, I cleaned out the hamster cage and then roasted a fucking chicken. Yes please. Yeah. What happened? Why? I don't. How did you do this? You just I just woke up high on life and also well basically I was going to take about for lunch to break up the day and then I was out and I thought we do need shopping and I thought I can either go home and it be stressful and not productive or try and be productive even though if it's awful at least I've done that job. Take me through how the shopping went. Did you not put one of

them in the trolley like in that little awful little seat bit in the yeah so the little one doesn't want to do that that that th. th. th so th. th so th so th to do th th to do th th to do th th to do thi thi thi. to do thi. to do thi. thi. to to to to try try try thrall and thrown. try and try and try to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try try. try and try and try and to try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and to try and to to to to to to to to to try and try and try and try and big girl and then a big girl does because she wants to try and be a little girl for attention but then realizes it's rubbish so she sits in it for two seconds. She's too tall and big for it. She stiffs her legs. It's like trying to get a dead body out of it. She's, I can't move her. Obviously I promised them, the, that was your initial. Obviously, the, threat, threat, th, th, th, th, th, th, th so that was your negotiating point that wasn't even where they got you to that was the that was your initial oh initial but then I worked out magazines are well expensive so I actually got my toy because it was cheaper

than a magazine but a little like four-quid toy anyway so I did all that and then it was bad though because that was how for success my day and then in the shop the four-year-old was loving she was she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like she was like the the their their their th me th me th me th me th me th. and then their th their th.

And then, because I thought, I'm going to roast this chicken now, I went, ah, I need to stick an orange and a lemon up its aster, it's going to be dry. Because that's the viabed, I don't know if you roast. I've roast the chicken. I've roast the chicken. I've roast the chicken. I've roast. I've roast. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th.

I can't believe, I've lived this life. But I've got a bit of a curveball. They didn't have all purpose seasoning, but they did have every day season. I don't know, I don't know what the difference, I don't know if all purpose is a little bit more punchy, you couldn't have it seven days a week. Yeah, every day seems like it's a threat. the thi.

Yeah, I would argue everyday season needs sort and pepper. Yeah, I would argue everyday season needs salt and pepper. Yeah, I would argue everyday season season sort and pepper. That's the new vibe.

Anyway, so I didn't, I said to her, no we don't need that and I was a little bit falseful so I apologize because I was like, anyway we got home and I said that I need an orange and lemon here and then she went you forgot the lemon I said do you know and I was like, you forgot the lemon I said you and I was you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you the th th I th th th th you th you th you th you th you to to to to to to thi 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 to 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 th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the. the.

Just bullied me about this, like, negging me, about this lemon, and then when Lou got home,

they was like, oh, you had a good day girls and all the stuff that's happened. Ducks, lunch out, achieved in the day? Oh, unbearably. And that's why I was going through my phone. I wrote it all, pathetically, row it all down. Also, oh yeah, I forgot. I did an exercise cycle.

I did a spin class in the morning as well. What?

Oh my word. You're like Erin Brockovich or something, like this great single mum who's just getting everything achieved. And I also did take my local councils of court. But I don't want to bring it up being smug now. People listen to this to hear stories that make themselves feel bad,

but sometimes you've got to give yourself a pat on the back, Josh. 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. $0 delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 5% off smoothies and 5% Uber cash back 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. With deals this good, everyone wants to be a student.

Join for just $4.99 a month. Savings may vary. I had quite an ached yesterday.

I had quite an achieve, I achieved yesterday, I was quite pleased with this. Oh yeah. Well, I basically managed to get in a position where I just couldn't believe how lucky I was in the, so our toy shop now, because of COVID, you have to kind of book an appointment. Like, so when you go to the toy shop and you're worried about catching a profit. So you get your 15, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their 15, you walk around the toy shop. It's like, you know like when like Elton John gets to walk around a shop on his own?

It's like that. It's like, who's it? Who's it? It's like, you get the whole shop to yourself for 15 minutes. So we went there and we bought, I-by got a like canvas kind of Wendy house. Oh okay. That's like a cup basically like a big kind of tent you put up in the garden, she can go in and out of it. And then on the way home, went past a second-hand bookstall and they had they had the full collection of Wares Wally's and I thought what, even though she's only two and a half. Tough they're the full their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the getting them just because I want to kind of reread them.

Tough to find, they are. It's tough to... Really nice, really nice. Lovely stuff. Anyway, we get back, she's going in and out of the Wendy House and the Where's Wally's are in the Wendy House. Then she instructs me that I'm to sit and wait in the Wendy House while she plays outside it. So I spent half an hour of my afternoon, just on my own in the Wendy House reading Wailles Wally, and it was absolutely superb.

Reading's a stretch. Looking at it at. Clutching through the way. So it's just like I've been instructed to sit on my own in the Wailles for company. Yeah. It was like being, you know, like being locked in in the crystal maze or whatever. But with the Wally's Wally's for company. Yeah. It's like being, you know, like being locked in in the Crystal maze or whatever, but with the Wals Wally. It was so cool. But also you're technically playing. You're doing a shift with the kid. This is parenting.

I do find I, I, um, I buy my kids presents and that. Let's get the back to the future Playmobile set. You've got no idea where that film is, you're only the characters are. You might prefer a troll's one, but let's get that, come on. But that's a lovely afternoon. Yeah, it was a really nice afternoon. I had a very pleasant time, where I try to have a shit and I got interrupted nine times in nine different ways. Oh my god, well what we need to do, I'll say this to the producer now as a kind of,

we want those ding sound effects, you know, and like, you want to, when it's like counting up an amount of things on a clip. It may be more, it may be one less, but yeah, I'll go through all the different reasons why I had to interrupt my my shear. It was almost like a dom jolly prank the amount of things like turning up. But yeah, so that's a less positive story that you can all look forward to. Now, now today, Rob, we've got a friend of Prince William on the show. Well, we've got a weekend our guest has had. It's absolutely unbelievable.

He won a bafter on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday on Friday. Overrated. Oh, the old Stiffnack Awards, yeah. Yeah, one of Bafter, it's a Romish Ranganathler, I guess one of Bafter's who's misadventure show. Yeah. I'm not against Bafters, Josh. If people, if it means a lot to people, that's good for them, but I just, I just... If that's how you're judging success, then you need to make you happy go and see a therapist. If it makes you sad go and see a therapist. If you're nonplussed and think oh that's a good positive thing, you're all right. But if you cried either happy or sad tears. Talk your priorities out, all right? But it's an amazing achievement and it's great and I'm very happy for Ramesh good on him. But then also he watched the FAA Cup Final with Prince William.

He popped up on the tele on BBC One during the Cup Final. I mean that is for a mental health charity but that's got to be a dry afternoon, that's tough. It was such a strange image of Romish on a deck chair in my mind he's on a deck chair. Yeah. In the garden of Kensington Palace with Prince William. What are they talking about? They weren't just them too, like some sort of love island date. It was, I think Romish is an ambassador for the charity so there was all people from the charity there and stuff. But, you know, good on him. It's a tough afternoon. that I you can't th can you? But and also, this was recorded before we realized he was best friends with Prince William,

otherwise we'd have obviously asked him all about that. Yeah, of course, this has done before. Also, a little bit odd. I hosted the Royal Varie with Rommish, I hosted the royal variety with Romish, the royal variety, in front of Prince William, I. the. I. 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. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. down by that. It was Romish, Prince William and Tony Adams. It's strange that Tony Adams is the next name. Yeah, the next name on the list after you, Rob is, well, if we're not getting Romish and Rob, we should get Romish and Tony Adams, that's the obvious duo.

Let's be honest about this. No offense to me, Tony Adams, or Romish. or give a shit who's there. He just turns up, he shakes their hand, smiles as a photo and then cracks on with his stage. I doubt Prince William as much of a say who is there and who's not, don't you think? No, he's a huge fan of, he actually is a huge fan of the Rangination, Prince William, and he's going to be one of the members of the Rangination in the next series. Is that? I wouldn't rule that Prince Andrew being it on the next series. So it's a pleasure to speak to Romesh. It was genuinely, I think it might be the most we've laughed in a interview we've done for this. Yeah, he sort of went off the topic of parenting and went on a bit more about Fortnight and Andy Peters. Yeah, it's just nice to catch up with friends when they're not hob-nobbing, isn't it? Yeah, you know, but it's hard for me to get any time with Romesh now. He's off with Prince William

and stuff like that. I'm very much the horn to his cordon. But you know, I'm happy with that. Do you know, I'll take that. He's had a good career in the old honynish. Here, so. Here, 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, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, he thi, 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's to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi's thi's to thi's thi's to be sir very soon.

Give us half an hour and good stuff about your kids so we can fuck off and put it online.

Hell are you, you fucking your pair of the k-ass. How's it going? Let's cut to the chase, Romash, I mean with children, not Mike-wise. What is the situation? I've got three boys, 10, 8, and 5, and I'm using a blue Yeti, Mike. If that's a setup you want to know about. Yeah. Yeah. So 8, 10 and 5, you live in Crawley.

I live in Crawley with my wife, yes, and the children. And I, and to give you an idea of how that's going, I'm currently talking to you from my garage. Haas. How's it? How's about, I work a lot, Josh works like, you work loads and has a lot of travel involved in what you do with misadventures and stuff. How has it been for you not to be working as much and be indoors all this time? I don't, I don't think it's been good for Lisa and the kids because I think when I've been away with work and sort of

come back every now and again what they thought is oh it'd be great to see more of that. What's happened is they've now had more of that delivered and they're not keen. Yeah because because the truth is is that you know this whole time Lisa's got sort of saying to me oh you know it'd be nice if you were home a bit more and I sort of th th th I I I I I I I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going th. I'm going tho tho. I'm going tho. I've tho. I've tho. I've tho. I've tho. I've tho. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm to the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. the. tho. I'm the. I'm the. I've the. I've th. I've th whole time Lisa's sort of saying to me, oh, you know, it'd be nice if you were home a bit more, and I sort of thought, I'm going to manage that a bit. When lockdown started, I was very philosophical about it. You know, I was thinking, oh, this is actually, the silver line to all this is that, you know, we're going to spend more quality time together, Maybe I'll sort of stream back, you know, pull back on work a little bit and sort of use

this as an opportunity to really rethink things. Now I am looking for any travel show anywhere and any. Honestly, I am ready. Because it would be good for you to be on our TV a bit more actually, Ron, you should start hosting that Escape to the Sun. You know what it's just the brain. Where do those presenters come from? 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, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thooooooooooooooooooo. the. thi, thi, th sun, you know what it's just the blame. Where do those presenters come from? This is a different one, isn't it? It is insane. I think they just go around bars or whatever,

find someone who looks a little bit lively. You could do that thing on this morning when they do a prize giveaway that's in a holiday. There'll be you walking along a beach. You just walk around a the holiday, th and little links, yes please. That sounds ideal. Joe Swash does loads of them, he loves it. He just goes to the mall d'ease for about nine hours and it flies home. So is it literally, are you literally there? Are you literally there?

Are you literally there? I think that you stay for a couple of nights? But then what they try and do is they, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, whenever, like, whenever, like, whenever, like, like, whenever, like, whenever, whenever, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, whenever I, whenever, like, when, like, like, like, like, when, when, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like you're there and like you're just having to walk along the beach at eight loads of times, you know, shut up. It's absolutely fine. What I would, what I would do to sit in on a conversation between Rob Beckett, Joe Swash and Andy Peters? What, what chain of world events have happened to lead those three people to be in a room in direct conversation with each other? It was genuinely the worst news night I've ever seen. Do you think question time was a bit low brow this week? Do you know what else was there as well?

Bobby Cole Norish from Towie. Do you want to set the scene? Because obviously we get me out of it now, we've gone back to the hotel for a couple of cosmopolitans, all sat around the pool. Yeah, just ITV viewers wanking themselves into a frenzy at the side of what's happened. It's like to... Pierre's more than standing over us just squeezing milk from his tits. Oh! Oh, what a day that was on her ass.

Let's go! What a day that was. What a day. I was just going to take a little facts about Annie Peters, never takes his top off even in hot weather, even though he's ripped. He's absolutely... Yeah, he's scathed. Has he ever given you a reason for that? I don't suppose you'd ask the question directly. Andy Peters, I've only ever seen wearing a skin-type

polo shirt, shorts, big thick Jerry Seinfeld trainers and socks pulled up like mid-level, whatever's happening. If he's in his garage on telly for ITV or if he's in Australia, that's his outfit. He's got a kind of a Carlton vibe, isn't it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their th. I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I. I. I. I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. th. He's th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the th that's his outfit. He's got a kind of a Carlton vibe, isn't it, I think? Yeah, kind of a preppy look. Yeah. Good idea. He's got a tattoo of Ed the Duck on his stomach that he can't let anyone see that he can't. Yeah, it says duck life across the top of it. So I went to the same gym as Andy as Andy Andy Andy Andy Andy Andy the thia thia thand Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy as Andy thi thi th same, I know this isn't what we're here, but I did used to go to the

same gym as Andy Peters on a Friday morning. Right. Because it was, it's next to me. It's not a real life, Stella Stelis, this is insane. Craig Fairbrass goes to my gym, you know Dan from East Enders, but it's not a game of gym buddy who's who. East Enders, but it's not a game of gym buddy, Who's Who? Anyway, Rom, it's been great to speak to you about your kids and I'll see you later. Talk us for Eddie Peters at the gym, Josh.

Right, so it's because obviously I do last, we do last leg in the same building that they do, it's not called GM TV, what's it called these days? Good morning Britain, right? Yeah. So he'd finished Good Morning Britain, go to go gym that's next to the BBC and I'd be just, I'd go before last leg. So we'd cross over. He's absolutely ripped doing those big old, so those big old, um, wait, the had- How often did you go to this gym Josh? Not frequently enough to pick up the technical jargon, no? How often did you go to this gym, Josh? No, no.

He couldn't pick up the jargon like the weights, mate. Anyway, he's doing the big old wades anyway he's doing the big old weights did a big old ways absolute ripped in a vest and we had that thing where we'd never met but we you know I was aware of his work I I don't know whether he was where I mind but we acknowledge each other at a base level should I say did it did it did you think about sort of trying to start up a conversation I you know hey man what are those what those things you're lifting up and putting down repeatedly what are they

called? Why are you moving the bench? I normally sit on a narrow bench. Well so that's not that's not for sandwiches there oh oh oh I was doing the I thought you just limboed? Well, so that's not, that's not for sandwiches there. Oh, oh, okay, oh. Oh, I was doing the time. I thought you just limboed. I'm limboe. But he's ribs. The bottom line of the story is Andy Petty's is his Ripp. He's Ripp, he's Rit.

And, who's it? He's got, he's got kids. It would be a strange interview. I would love to just randomly come up on a podcast where people just talk about how ripped I. And that would be, so, can you imagine if you just happen to be listening to a podcast, and then you get mentioned, it's just, oh he's fucking mess, he's so ripped. It is so hens. I think people got, oh I heard someone talking about you on that podcast. It's never that. What's, 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, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so, oh, oh, so. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'd they'd they'd they'd th. Oh, I'd th. Oh, I'd th. Oh, I'd th. Oh, I'd th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, tho, tho, can't tho. Oh, can't tho. Oh, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't tho, can't, can't ththat, is it? It's never that. What they said? Oh, you're ripped, yeah, yeah, they were.

Yeah, they were. Wow. Right, Ramesh, you've got three kids. Three boys, three boys, sorry, yes. No, it's fine. It's fine. Are any of them, I haven't asked them. What are they into? What they are into, which has come to the forger in lockdown is Fortnite, which is this Battle Royale online video game, but we cannot stop them playing.

And it's, we went out for dinner with this couple a few, maybe like two years ago. And they were talking about how one of their kids was addicted to fortiiiii to 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're, uh they're, uh they're, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they maybe like two years ago and and they were talking about how one of their kids was addicted to fortnight right and they were saying oh it's just a nightmare he won't he won't get off it and we said to him we want you to just stop playing fortnight for a day or whatever and he kicked off and and Lisa and I was so too the the the the. Lisa and I was so smugged they and we's and I was th. And Lisa and I was th. And Lisa and I was th. And Lisa and I was th. And I was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi and I was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. their th. their their their th. their th. they were they were they were th. they were. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're th. they're they're th. they're th. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're that's difficult isn't it when they get into that. And you know when you do that thing, on the drive home we were going, oh isn't it? It's a shame, isn't it, when people allow that? Because I think what's good about us is we're very clear on the rules. And it sounds far too violent, sounds far too v. to play, yeah, no, I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's, th. thi. thi. thin, to, to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, i, it's, it's, i, i. It's, i. It's, it's, i. 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 a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a. talking about assault rifles for like nine hours a day in my house. The five-year-old talking about, I'm going to get that rocket launcher. I mean, it's insane. And it crept into our lives because our eldest

son who's probably the most, I mean, you know, not just, I would say it's over and above the fact that he's the eldest. I think he's more sensible than the other two just generally. He's kind of got that vibe about him. And he came and spoke to us and he is he did it properly. You know, he had supporting arguments. Yeah, he did. He properly did. He said, can I have a chat with you guys about something? And he talked us throwne. how his friends play fortnight is a social thing, he won't get too carried away

with it, would it be okay for him to be allowed to play fortnight? And Lisa and I just wallowing in the pride in what our son had done, just disgusting kind of just just, isn't it what we really, do you know sometimes I kind of can't believe what a good job we've done with him? You're like, you said like the government. They're like the government when coronavirus are sneaking up. We're doing pretty well here, aren't we? Yeah, honestly, it was so, so, so sickening how we, how proud of ourselves, you know, for him to come and talk to us like that.

Anyway, so we allowed him to do it, but the problem is, and this is the common things the common thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing thing the common thing thing thing thing that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the that that that that that that that that common thing that we keep coming up, is the idea that you can allow one of your children to do something, regardless of age gap, and completely compartmentalize that from the others, is a fantasy. It's an absolute fantasy. So as soon as he started playing it, our second son is like, can I, is it possible to play? Now, he'd provided no supporting arguments. If anything, his behavior up to that that that the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thin, the thin, tho, tho, the tho, their, the their, the the tho, thin, the tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th........ th. thin. thin. the. tho. thooomoomorrow, thoooooooooooooomea.. toge. th together. th th th th th too th th th th th. If anything, his behavior up to that point

had been a series of counter arguments to let him anywhere near Fortnite, right? But regardless of that, we didn't want to be unfair, so we said, all right, let's play, and we had all these bullshit rules as well. Can we just say that you're gonna play for one and a half hours a day, and listen, and listen, when we say, thapapap is thap is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thi thi thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi.., thi., thi.. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the th. th. to the. too. too. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. too say it's time to come off, you come off, there's no arguments and they went, yeah, no, that sounds fair.

That's absolutely the way we do it. And so like mugs, fucking mugs. We went, yeah, okay. And then once you've done two, how can you look at your little, your youngest son and stop him from engaging it? So then, what's it on? Is it on Xbox? That's the problem, Josh. It's on everything.

It's on everything. It's on PlayStation, it's on Xbox, it's on mobile phone. I'm pretty sure you can play it on a fucking water bottle if you want to. They're like, no, like, they have extended that game everywhere. There is no there is no format that that game hasn't reached. It's insane man. And when you look on YouTube there's loads of videos, loads of videos, that's that I mean that's the other side of it is the YouTubeers that have been spawned by fortnight. My children if they are not playing fortnight they are watching video YouTube videos of people playing

fortnight and attaching drama to a series of completely inconsequential events that are happening in front of them on the game I mean it is so could you explain fortnight to me yes yes so so so so what it is is have you played I can't I find fortnight quite hard but I play the same style of game but with call of Duty War Zone, which is like real, like a simulation of a war zone where fortnight's like sort of like colourful characters and mad stuff, isn't it? And then you have to build full. Is it like Doom? Like a modern version of Doom? Well, you basically, you drop, you drop

down onto an island and you find weapons and there are 99 other people on that island, you know, other characters, all these other players, and you have to be the last one standing. That's the aim of the game. But you can also do it as squads. So you can team up with a couple of mates and there's a social element to it. And the thing that makes it more addictive, because there's lots social element to it. So, and the thing that makes it more addictive, because there's lots of games like that, the thing that makes it more addictive

is there's loads of these different skins. You can play as, you know, they've got a spot, a dead pool, you can play as aquamant, like they, and they put these skins on the shop, and the shop has has the s the s the s the s the s the s the s the s the s the s the s the s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s' the the their their their their their thoes the the thi., the the the the the the the the the the the the thi.. thi... thi..... thi... thi.... the the the the the the the the the the the the the the is the is the is thi.. the is the is the is thea. thea. theats. theatsea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. th. So so they've got you over a barrel mate. How much are you spending? Mate, I don't want to think about it. I mean every day, every other day I would say, that's not an exaggeration. One of the kids comes up to us and tells us about a new skin that's been released is available for only 24 hours and they absolutely have to have have it. And you end up paying 20 quid and the the the the the the the the the they the they they the the skin they they the skin the skin the skin th. And th. And th. And the skin th. And th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So th. So th. So th. So th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So. th. th. th. th. th. So. So. th. So. So. th. th. th. So. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. their the. their the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. they absolutely have to have it. And you end up paying 20 quid and they go look at the skin I've chosen and they're playing as a hot dog and I'm supposed to be...

And I'm supposed to be happy about that. And I'm supposed to be happy about that. It is just a money pit though, those sort of thing. No, but the thing is, this is a crazy thing, right? So the kids are trying to legitimize it to me. They're trying to explain it to me that it's a serious thing. And they do do these events and stuff and it is, you know, it's proper top level stuff. The prize money is $3 million, right? Like one of these tournaments, if you win. They're not playing as a fucking hot dog, mate.

Absolutely not. Imagine trying to get in the camouflage that. Where would you go? You're in the woods, there's a hot dog. There's 3 million. I spent, I spent, I spent, I spent, the whole game behind the FIF-Sk. Sky Sports and they were broadcasting the FIFA World Cup, not the FIFA World Cup, as in the FIFA World Cup, the World Cup of FIFA the game. And these people are, A, they're weird, but B, they're existing in a different reality

where the game, the way they were playing FIFA wasn't, I couldn't even comprehend how different their ability to play computer games was. So I'm going to say, Ron, your kids aren't going to get there. No, absolutely 100% not. And I hope they don't, because if they do get to that top level, that also suggests a severe level of dysfunctionality in sort of their general makeup. I want them to be, I want them 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 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 beauge. to beaughen. to beaugh we. to beae. to beae. to beae. to beae. theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf. theirf.sh.sh.shaehaerf.shaeroneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneoneone wehsh. theirfeh. theirfeh. theirfe. theirfe. theireck. theire. theire. theire. theire. theire. theire. theire. their general makeup. I want them to be, I want them to be too normal to ascend to the very heights of fortnight. Don't you just think it's a generational thing? Because

when I was younger, the thing, we used to sit indoors on MSM messenger. Do you remember MSM messenger? And talk to each other? And to tell you're like, my parents would be like, oh, wea they didn't even they didn't they didn't they didn't they didn't their th. have their th. th. th. th th th th th th th thin just just just just just just just thin just thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin'er. Don't just thin'er. Don't just thin'er. Don't just thin'er. Don't just thin'er. Don't 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. We're just just just a to to to to to to to th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thate. that that that thin. that thin. th. th thin. th th they think it's mad that you'd just be able to message someone or text and on MS in a messenger. But to be fair, the majority is socializing because you're, you are in a squad with your three or four mates chatting to them and stuff like that. And it's, you know, no difference what we're doing now, but they're playing a game at the same time. The issue is them just rin' the issue is them just just just just just just just just just just just them just the the the the the the issue is the the issue is the the the issue is the the the issue is the the the the issue is their their their their their their their their their their their their thi is, their the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is their their the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is the issue is just just just just just just just just their their their, their, thing, thin't, thin't, thin't, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, their thin, their thin, their thin., their thin, their thiii. their their their their thi is just thi is just, is just it is just a form of socializing that feels weird to us but that's just the future in it is that not just a future yeah but do you know what what you just said sounds exactly like what Lisa and I say to to have a later night try and make us feel better about the fact we've let the situation get away from us massively that about this I don't it's not just they play they play it they're doing whatever 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're they they're they're they're they're they're 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 ttttttry try try try try try try try to try try to try try they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're doing whatever they want. Well do you know what it's the thing is that you got to take into context of fact that we are in a weird situation they're not seeing any of their mates right and all that and so and so they

do when they're playing this game they are chatting to each other and they are and they are you know it's the way of like a stack up, exactly. Exactly. But the thing, that's the other thing. It's not even just the out, it's not even just the characters. They have to, they have different dances called emotes, right? And you have to pay for those. So like, so like, honestly, honestly, I had to pay 10 quid, right, for one of my kids to have a character that just went, call me. That's th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. That's, th. th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, that, that, th, that, th, th, th, th, that, that, that, that, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, their not their, their, their. That's literally, that's, that's, that's literally, and they're buzzing about it, absolutely buzzing about it. It's mad, isn't your youngest five though? Can he play, it's quite impressive he can play fortnight at five, isn't it?

Mate, mate? Mate, mate, look, honestly, he's been playing on the mobile, right? He's been playing on the phone on on on on on on the phone on the phone on the phone on the phone on the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. The kid is fucking insane, right? Like, honestly, he is so good, right? And he'll be just chatting to it. I mean, you've seen him, Rob. He's like, you know, he's like a proper, he's small for a five-year-old as well, do you know, his little ditty kid.

Little finger so quick. And he'll be like, yeah that he's killed three people. Like like it is insane. Why don't you? Is three million quids up for grabs? Train them like the Williams sisters? Richard Williams of fortnight. Just get screens up and we go right let's fuck off school this all day right and get better and we'll learn. If you said that to a 12 year old kid that's the dream I'd be like I had the best dream ever. the best th the best th the best th the best 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 the the the the the- the that's the- the- th th th th th th th.

My dad had decked out the spare room, always screens and went, get as good as you can, we're going to earn millions.

That's like a start of a film. Yeah, that actually, the way I play. You're a back at the old school Asian with a teeth. Yeah, that's the guy. If you're going to play Fortnite, you're going to be the best fucking Fortnite in the world. Amazing. Do you know what? The thing was is that, so because we've been struggling to get him off it, we decided to start, Lisa and I were like, Lisa and I were to to to start, Lisa, Lisa, to to to the to to to the to to the to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, the thi, thi, the thi, the best, the best, the best, you're the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best the best, you're going the best, you're going the best, you're going the best, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you the best the best the best the best, you the best, you the best, you the best, you the best, you the best, you the best, you the best, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thea, th-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I. th-I. th-I. th-I. th-I. th-I. with this. So Lisa and are both now on fortnight. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to taught your kids.

No, not, well, it's just because, you know, like, when you, when you're, you're a vegan hot dog, okay, let's tell you something, I have got the hot dog, right? Oh, you murder, you murder, the thi..... th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. 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 the the the t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. tell. t..................................., you murderer. Meat is murder. I love the idea of Romash doing a big TV job and treating himself to the hot dog as a kind of... I made a bit money. Yeah, just coming back from the League of Their Own Record, just going, Elisa. Get the, get the console set up online. I'm about to treat myself. You thought a hot dog was scary. Try a hot dog with fries, mothing fucker. And not only that, it's going to be able to dance.

How do you like that shit? Call me. So you play with them now as well, and Lisa? Wow. Well, we started, we started, because we thought actually it's quite a good thing. They're really into it. Let's try and engage from them by playing it as well. Lisa's absolute shit, which is great for me. Because whenever we play these squad games, straightaway headshot, she's gone. And then, so, but the thing is, are you in a squad with your kids? Yeah, like a family outing, family day out. Yeah, so we're in a squad. Today we're going to kill as many people as we can. Rangan Nathan's Day of fun. And then like, um, um, but the thia thia thia thia thi thi thi thi the thi thi, but the thi, but thi, but thi, but thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th-a, thi, thi, that's, th-a' th-a' th-a' th-a' th-in' th-a' th-a' thage, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, they's, thin, they's, thin, thin, tha, tha'-a'-a'-a'-a'-a'-a'-a'-a'er-a'-a'a'a'er-a'a'a'a'a'a'a. And then like, but the thing is, the kids, they get really frustrated.

If you watch kids playing Fortnite, they get so angry with each other if they let the team down, if they fuck it up or whatever, and they're going to lose as a result of their, they shout at each other, but they all accept it from each other, right? Because that's how you play the game. What I wasn't prepared for, right, was the way that I was going to be spoken to by my own children, when we're playing it, because we're getting into the game, right? Now first of all, I don't really, I kind of stay away from the action. I'm very much hide and then when enough people have died, and then when And you're able to still work. Josh, thank you. I wish you could come around to my house and explain this in the children.

Because they say that's classic, that's classic nub behavior. Can I call me that now? Camping Pussies. That's what you are. You're a pair Camping little rats. I'm on the kid's side here, Romish. I'll play walls off. That was, that was like Robert channeled our second son.

No, but like so, but then, when I come out, like, the kids are like, dad, dad, their kid's dad. Dad, tha the tha, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, tha, tha, tha, the tha, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thiby, I'm over there, I'm over there, I'm over there, Dad! For God's dad! For God's dad! Dad! Oh my God! We could have won that! Just like that, I was listening to their proper loser. And the game finishes and it's like they never spoke like that to you. Because they're just in the moment. They're just in the day- thomen moment- to- to- to- to-they're-they're-they're-they're-they're-they're-they're-like-they're-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-like-I-like-I-I-intermo-so-they're-they're-soa-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-we. We. We. We. We. We. We're th. th. th. We're-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-wea-weigh-h. We're-h. We're-h. We're-h. We're-h. We're-h. We're-h. thah-h. tha-h. tha-h. tha-h. thananan-hea-h. We're-h. th-he in day-to-day life, you're in a position of confidence, of power, of authority, of intelligence, you've got more experience to them, but in the fortnight world, you're about, you're like one-year-old, you're rubby.

So it's such a weird power shift that all of a sudden you're the weak link in it all, not the person I put together like you would in yourthey go, they'll go like, oh dad, I left some bandages over there by that house for you, go and pick them up when you're ready and stuff like that. Like, it's so weird. There's an armor plate. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like that. It's like that.

Dad, I left a rocket launcher there. to have it. . can spend 40 quid on drinks and snacks and ice creams over a day, right? And then they might not eat the ice cream, the fry on the floor. And because in our heads we understand that's an ice cream, it's a product, you're going to eat it and you're going to eat it or fill them up, but if you buy them like a 10 quid skin or so that they're happy with it for a whole day. Because it's on the computer you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you th, you th, you th and you th and thi, you thinks, you thinks, you thinks, you thinks, you thinks, you thinks, you thinks, you thin, you thin, thinks, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin' thin' thin' thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th. thi, th. And thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin' thin, thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, and thi. And thi's thin, and thin, and thi's thin, and thin, and thin, thin, thin, thi's It does exist and it is a thing that they can enjoy but because we're older we don't see it as a physical item. That's what happens with phones you'll buy an app and it'll say it's $2.99 and you're like you fucking kidding me, 299 to read the news every day for a year and you think I made a money of money. And then you buy a point and it's 4 pound 50 and you don't you buy th and it is incredible how for some reason spending money in an app,

to me, an absolute rip-off merchants. I'm just going to, I'll pop on the phone, I'm just going to stick my yeasies on. And I'm like, the other thing is, I just think, as parents, like, the complete disparity of what you think is you being mugged off, it's just insane. But the other thing is, the other thing is, I just think as parents, we have an inherent distrust for anything our kids enjoy too much. So it's like, you know, before even I knew that them playing video, before I'd even got any idea

if them being on an iPad was good or bad for them, but immediate I'm thinking it must be bad from because they sort of enjoy it. They want to spend more time on it. There must be, it must be rotten their brains somewhere. You just have this thing where if your kids, as soon as they start to like a food too, like that, that must be, there must be something like, that must be something in that, that's something. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. You do, you. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. You do. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's so. It's so. It's so. It's so. It's so. It's so. It's so. It's, it. It's. It's, you. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It.

Like, you know, you buy like, you know, a pair of nice trainers at whatever, but you're like, 69P, so I can find out where the weather's like everywhere in the world. You're mad.

Ridiculous, 69. Yeah, I'd much rather download a free one that only works 30% of the money. Yeah, I'll just look out the window. Sorry if I'm old school. So are your kids back at school, Ron? So our younger two are not. Our eldest one is in year six. So this is his last year at primary school if it goes off to secondary in September. So they have made a bit more of a, they've made a thing about bringing them back for the last couple of weeks.

They haven't really done any work, I don't think, but it's a bit more for the social, shirt signing and all that and the levers' hoodies and all that crap. Can we talk about the secondary school he's with this. Right. If you consider that Rommish is a success, right, and he's done really well for himself and his life's all going well, but if you just... I'm willing to accept that for the argument, yeah, go on. For the devil, playing devil's advocate. Thank you so much for swallowing that hypothesis, Josh. Romish is so much for swaughing his thih. thih. thih. thih. thih. tha's is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge is a huge thuiting is a huge thom. thom. thiololing is a huge thoom.

He's is a huge. He's is a huge. He's is a huge thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's thia'a'a'a'a'eruua' thia' thia' thia' thi. He's rubbish. His son is going to the sickery school that rubbish went to and taught at and met his wife at.

Oh wow. And it sounds like a tragic tale to a certain point. It is really tragic. Because I think one of the reasons. From that is troubled so much and he's decided all these places I've seen, you know what, crawling. They're staying with it. Because if you take away, if you take away doing comedy or anything like that, if I bump into someone from school, like how's it going, Ron? Yeah, yeah, good. Where, where, where'd you work? I worked where we went, actually. You know, we went to school, that's wrong. And where are you living there? Where are you living? I live about five minutes away from where I live when we were growing up. I mean, if you sort of look at it in terms of like... What about your wife?

Where did you meet her? I met her at the school I was teaching it. What about your kids? Where they're going on there? Oh, they're also going to go to school. Because when there's kids their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to be. to be. to be. to to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. W. W. W. Where to be. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. Where to to to to to to be. Where to be. Where to be. Where to be. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where. Where to be. Where to be. Where to be. Where to be. Where to be. Where to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be toe. toe. toe. toe. to to to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to to be the something weird going on there isn't that? Institutionalized. But at least you're not still teaching there, because if you were, that's when it gets a bit... And you must have done a talk though, Rom, you must have got been called back in. Mate, do you know what? It was so, it was so bad. So about maybe two years after I left, I got a phone call from the deputy head saying, they're doing their, their, their, their, thapapapapapapapapap –, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, that, that, that, that, 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, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, they're they're that, they're they're they're they're they're that, they're that, they're that, they're that, that, that, that,, no, they're doing this young enterprise scheme. Do you know young enterprises where these, the six formers, they organize these businesses

and try and raise money or whatever. So one of these groups that decided they're going to put on a lunchtime event, and the lunchtime event, they had this idea that I was going to come back and do some stand-up comedy, right? They're going to resurrect you. Yeah. And so they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're. they're they're they're. they're. they're. their. their. their. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. their. their. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. They're going. I. I. I. I. I'm. They're going. I'm going. I'm going. They're going. They're going. I'm going the their. They're going their. They're going their. They're going they're going. They're going. They, I was doing two tour dates in Wales, right? Either side of this lunchtime, right? Oh God. I'm Rom, he loves to travel this guy. You've got to learn to say no. You've got to learn to say no. Because honestly, I don't want this to say no to stuff, mate. Not this. This is a good to to to thoom goom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom good thoom thoom tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi tho tho tho tho tho thoing. I 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 tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I tho. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo've got to start saying no to stuff mate. Not this, this is a good one but you cannot be doing two gigs in Wales and

pop home to die your ass at a school in crawling. Okay first of all, first thing let me just tell you. I haven't got to the bit about whether I died on my ass or not. So... So it's a given. You're tired. You're tired. You're tired. You're in tired. It's a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to their. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a gi. It's a givou. It's a gi. It's a 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 their their their their the thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooge. the the the the thoooooooooooom you went to school, you went back to teach and you send her your own kid. It's a tough gig. What is so funny, it is surprising, not surprising actually, I think totally expected, how little of a shit a set of students give about an ex-math teacher coming back to do some stand-up. I mean, they absolutely could not have cared less. And what made it is is is is is is is is the members the members is that the members is that that that that the members is that the members that that the members that the members that that the members is the members that that that that the members that that that that that that that that that that that that their their that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is 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 thea.a. thean. thean. thean. theanananan. It is the it worse is that the members of staff who I used to work with just stood there at the back going so this is what he's gone on

to do is it? And also at this stage were you out of success? Well how many years ago was this? So you hadn't really got to a level of a wider level of success as well? No I'm done, I hadn't done any, because the thing the things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is the, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi the the the the the the the the, the the the thean, the the the thean, the the the thean, the the the thi me, the thi.a, is, really got to a level, a wider level of success as well. No, no, I hadn't done any, because the thing is, the truth is, people outside of comedy or whatever, they, when you talk to people from when you started comedy, they only think that you're a success if you've done any tele. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much you're making from the circuit or whatever whatever, the the their been on tele, have you been on something I've seen you on? So at that point everybody, including my mom, everybody, thought I'd made a massive

mistake. That's the truth of it. And so me going back to the school. That's why she came in to help you boost up, wasn't it by going on your show? This needs some actual natural comedy tell him. thy. T th. T th. T th. T, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that that that that that that that that thate, that, that, that, that, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody thi that, everybody, thi that, everybody, everybody, thi thi that, everybody, everybody, thi thi thi thi thi thi, everybody, everybody, thi thi thi, thi thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, everybody that that that that that that, God. So yeah, it was, it was, it was a bad, bad visit, put it that way. On the kid going back to the school that you went to, is there going to be teachers that he's been taught by, that you've been taught by, that you were taught by and you'll be like, yeah he's an absolute, like, you've got the inside track on the tea teach, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, that, that, thin, that's, that's, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th......... th.. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, the the thin, the the the that's, the the the the the the the the the that's, the the that's, the that's, the that's, the that's, that's, thin, th track on the teachers. Yeah, well, there's is going to be taught by people that I used to work with. There aren't any, there isn't anybody that I used to be taught by, but there are people that I used to work with.

And it's difficult, isn't it, because I know what these people's genuine level is. You know, you present as if you are completely dedicated and infallible. But, you know, we all know that's not the truth. But, so it's going to be difficult. I used to have it when I was head of six-form because I'd have people, I'd have parents come in and complain about certain teachers, and I think they're saying, yeah, I mean, she's not, I mean, she's not, you can't say, you can't, you can't, you can't say, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I, I'm, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I..... I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm, I'm, I'm. 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 have to go you know no I start no she's a she's a very accomplished professional actually and I think it's slightly insulting that you would

insinuagency she does anything less than the absolute peak of her powers to get through you. And you sort of doing a line of Wednesday lunchtime at the pub around the corner right about a divorce. Well yeah well I would I would discuss it with her when I go meet it down the park to bunazut. Rob, in terms of you, you know, saying yes to work, with that, with your youngest child, so this is five years ago now, yeah. But that, he was born in Edinburgh, right? Yeah, yeah. In the middle of the Edinburgh festival. Yeah, well, Lisa, most annoyingly for Rob, he got nominated

as well, didn't it? I'm not about a wall chair. That's stiff-neck award. It was actually, we found out the due date was in the middle of the festival. And at that point, I mean, there's no way of saying this without making any sound like... But at that point the show was written and we'd done the posters and everything. But I was sort of thinking about the show the show the show the show the show the show the show was written the show the show the show the show was written was written the show the show the show the show the show the show the show was written was written was written was written was written was written was written the show the show to the show the show to to to to the show was written the show to to to to the show the show the show was written was written was written was written was written was written was written was written was written was written was written was w. It was w. It was written was written was written the show was written the show was written the show was written the show was written the show was written the show was written was written was written was written the show you know, you're only going to lose money, even more money actually. So I was sort of thinking about what to do.

And the truth is, and this is genuinely the truth, I thought, I've got to pull out of Edinburgh here because this is crazy. But then I spoke to Lisa, and Lisa used to live in Edinburgh. She said to me, look, it's absolutely, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, Edinburgh. And she said it very, very matter-of-fatally, right? So when I spoke to her, when I spoke to her, I allowed myself to fall into the, the, the illusion that that was actually quite a simple thing. I just went, okay, cool, brilliant. Oh, that's problem solved.

It was only when I went and told other people and they said to me, you know you were an arsol don't you? I mean, you know, that's a horrendous thing to make your wife do. You're bringing your whole family because what, you've written 50, maybe 51 minutes of average stand-up that you absolutely have to deliver to Edinburgh every day. So yeah, I genuinely, I thought it was really nothing to worry about, but it turns out it was quite a big. th. their their th. their thi. th. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

But then what happened was this, so at the hospital, we told the hospital, I can't remember who we told, but we told somebody that we're going back home, what do you do about registering him and stuff like that?

And they said, oh, you just do it when we get back to England and then we go to register him and they say, no, you absolutely should have registered him where he was born. I mean, this is you've made a massive mistake. So, so I was like, oh, okay. And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then they said, and then, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and, and, and, and, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, 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, and. And, and. And, and, and, and, and. And, and. And, and. And, and. And, and. And, and then, and. And, and then, and then, and. And, and then, and, and. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, yeah, I've got some bad news. I didn't register the birth in time, so we're going to have to pop him back in. Is that right? Yeah, but I genuinely, I genuinely, I didn't know, like, does he have to live his life as a fugitive? Like, I don't know, I don't know what happens if you don't, but anyway, there was a deadline, but I didn't know, there was a deadline, thrary, the deadline, the deadline, the deadline, the deadline, 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 their to to their 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 their to to 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 thea, their their thea.ea.e.e. their their their theate. their theateateateate.. to take him back. I had to go back to Edinburgh. So I booked, I had to book an appointment at Edinburgh Registry to Registry his birth. The, uh, so I, the only appointment I could get was on the day of the Scottish referendum.

Right? So it's like, I, so I had to, I flew to Edinburgh, walks up to the Registry Office, this fucking protest, like just all across the streets. And I'm navigating my way. About the referendum? Yeah, not about you. Yeah, not about, no. We don't recognize your son of Scottish. Ha ha ha. That was actually the second question on the voting slip that day. It was just so. And then I went in to the Regibra, and I to live, to live, to live, to to to to to to to to to to to to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, the the the to me, the to me, the, to me, the, the, to me, the, the, I was, the the the, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, 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, 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 th. I. I, th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, thoo. thooo. tha. th th th th threatea, was, was. threate. threate into the registry office and said, where in Edinburgh do you live?

And I said, I don't live in Edinburgh, mate. I'm just a fucking idiot. And I've come here for the day on referendum day to register my son. Now, can you please register my son's birth so that he doesn't have to live life as a criminal? Charlie was born about 3 o'clock in the morning or something. So then. So then, so then, off the curb, our agents were going, do you want to pull the show? And I said, I'd probably be alright actually, I'm alright to do the show. So midway through the show, I would, did that go down with Lisa?

She was totally fine with it. I wish I hadn't stuttered when she was. She was genuine. No, she came home like, Lisa's like, Lisa, Lisa has not had a birth last longer than an hour and a half of the three, of the three. I mean, I'm still arguing it's still quite a tough hour and half. It may be shorter than normal, but it's a lot going on in that 90 minutes. Oh, listen, mate, as a spectator. It's like Liverpool, it's like, Liverpool, New York City. to to to to to to to to to to to th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, th and, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, I thi, I's, I'm, I'm thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thin, thin, thi. thin, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thioli. thi. thi. my God it's crazy. But to be fair in your defense Lisa is one of the calmest and just most matter of fact just like yeah fine and like water for ducks back kind of people. So yeah she probably would have gone yeah go and do it is fine. Yeah yeah she did do that but I now.

So she's at home with a newborn baby and a what like a three year old and an eight year old and a five year old and a newborn baby? th. and what what what th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So, to to th. So, to th. So, to the to to th. So, to to to th. So, to to to to th. So, th. So, th. th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah. or something? And a five-year-old, yeah. So five-year-old or three-year-old at home and a newborn baby, what time was your show? Show was at eight o'clock. So, so it's enough time, arguably, fair to get acclimatized. So you took about 15 hours after giving birth. Correct. a couple of weeks. Yeah, but a nice flat, I didn't scrimp on that. Is it ground level, is up a few flights of stairs? I think it was third floor. Third floor, lovely, so wrong. You've got her up three flights of stairs, yeah, chucked her into a flat with a, well a 15 hours old baby, a three old and a five-year-old. Is wife were there. So, okay, so, yeah.

So, whose brother? Your brother? My brother. Oh, okay, so the in-laws there. Great, that's brilliant. I've thought he helped for that. I don't know about anyone else's relationship, but the, uh, that would go down as It was just the in-laws, Tommy Robinson, just stuff like that.

Just helping. And then so what was, how did you do the gig? What happened in the gig? Well, I did the gig, and at the end of the gig, I just went, because I think in the show I talked about the fact that today we did, we did have the baby. And they just thought it was something I said every night. I mean, it was such a... I put on a sound innovation. Yeah, I really thought it was going to be a moment in my naivety.

And they're just like, what, does that, does that normally get some sort of response? They thought that you'd struggle to get an end end end end end end end end end the ending to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get the to get something something something something something something something something something to get to get to get something something something something something to get to get something to get something to get something to get something to get something to get something something something something something to get something to get something to get something something something to get something something something night you would be claiming, you'd had the baby. Yeah, suddenly enough. Get someone to bring out a cake. We've got like party poppers and streamers and shit. This is pathetic. Just write a callback, you lazy bastard. Oh, mate. We've, I mean, we've barely covered, we've covered about three topics. Fortnight Andy Peters and the school, four topics, but they were, enjoy any more questions, Rob, any final questions? Not the moment really. Is anything you want to get off your chest, Romish before we go about your kids?

Anything you want to lay down as a marker? No, I mean, what, what I would say is, I do think that parents, I thage thage thah thah thah thian thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that I that I that I that I that, I that, I mean, although what I would say is, I do think that I think that parents, I think parents could have been a bit more supportive of each other during this whole homeschooling scenario because because home schooling has been, for everyone, challenging and trying and traumatic, right? And you say that's a form ahead of sick form? Yeah, absolutely, mate. Listen, Lisa and I, both teachers, right, it's difficult, very, very difficult. And actually, but parents are so worried about doing the job properly that you can feel these little competitive comments that they're making to each other, do you don't mean, sort of just going when, you know, you, you, you, you, you, to, to to to to to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind to kind th, and try, and try, and try and try, and try and try and try and try and try 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, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th........ th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi can feel these little competitive comments that they're making to each other. Do you know, just going when, you know, we sort

of do, we kind of do three to four hours a day because we feel, you know, and that's as much as we can push to him. And you sort of think, you know, kind of to make me feel like shit about what we're doing. Because you know, that we're doing 11 and a, toe, 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.

We're, th of like, we're all, you know, all parents have been in this together. It's been a very difficult thing and I think, you know, I'd love for all parents to just absolve themselves of any kind of feelings of like not doing the right thing. It's a really tough ask, do you know what I mean? How about going forward, rather than bothering with exams, you just play fortnight. And whoever wins isn't allowed to go to uni because they've obviously not been doing enough studying and whoever gets shot immediately Has been doing homeschooling so you can work it out that way? Well mate listen the way that these grades are going to be awarded just you know based on predicted grades you tell me there's going to be no favoritism going on there come on mate Would you have done that right let me? Let me tell you tell you let me tell let me tell you tell you tell you tell you tell you tell you tell you tell you tell you tell me tell me tell me the the the the the the the the the the the tell me tell me the the tell me the their let me their let me let me tell me that that let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me let me tell let me tell let me tell let me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me the let me the let me the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tell they.

bit nepotism, but I just wanted to give a mate a chance. So thanks for let me have him on the show. And hopefully he can crack on and he can't have the parenting podcast. It's great. I don't know how he didn't get more tel tel tel tel tel tel the tel tel tel tel a tel a tel. the tel. to get to get to get to get to get to get an audience. to get an audience. to get an audience. to get an audience. People to get to get to get to get an audience to get an audience to get a to go to go to go to go to go go go to go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go.

And, the tele, until we went on the parenting podcast, he's great. I don't know why he didn't get more telly sooner. So yeah, fingers crossed, you know, start off of an appearance on stuff maybe, you know, yeah, on something, you know, and then go from there. But yeah, good luck to it. It feels like a long time since Oh yeah, but it's because when you start doing what the week, right, people won't realise this.

They're on TV people are obsessed with what you wear, right? They could have the best jokes ever, but if everyone's got a blue t-shirt on, they're like, oh my gosh, they've all got blue t-shirts on. We might as a tele. We might as a to work. So they always want you to wear different colors and because most, you know, most comedians are sort of like the sort of nerdy awkward people at school so wear sort of dark clothes so they're encouraged you to wear bright things. I used to wear, some awful stuff on Mott the Week. Because I think deep down I thought maybe it'll keep me get booked. They'll book me if I wear a bright top. But their. But their. But their. But their. But their. But their. But their. But their. But their their bright. But their bright. But their bright. But their bright. But their bright. But their bright. But their bright.

well says he's had a sitcom out yeah he's had a sitcom he's had a sitcom he's had a sitcom he's constantly Instagram living as well if you go on Instagram it's a bit like you're only like three feet away from a rat in Central London, you're only two clicks away from a Romish Instagram live feed. So if you hang around and they're long enough, you will see him in the flesh. Thank you to Romish. Yeah, thanks, Robes. He's done no response either. Oh yeah also in League of their own as well, if you want to see it, he does that as well. Yeah, good luck to him. Keep it going. So thank you Romish.
