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.

Because let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. Hello and welcome to lockdown parenting hell with... Can you say Josh Whittakum?

Can you say Rob Beckett? I mean, I've got to be quite sensitive here, but is he hitting something or is he growling like a mad dog? I can't put this any more sensitively, but is he a mad dog? Yeah, is your child a demon from Ghostbusters? Is your child the mad demon dog from Ghostbusters? Is that right? Oh dear. Oh, so thanks very much. I mean, I assume he was hitting something or is that William sounds? I don't know. We'll just have to jump to our own conclusions. Happy birthday, William. Happy third birthday.

I mean I don't want to throw around the word loophole. Oh, go on, yeah, go on, yeah. It's only guidance, the guidance, the guidance, the guidance, their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, th. thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, th birthday, th birthday, th birthday, th birthday, th birthday, thirty's thoom's thirty's thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirty, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, thirt, th remember it's any guidance you're doing the you're doing the best thing for your child as a pair the Cummings law you are doing what you think best for your child and if you think a hundred people at air jumps the best way forward then go for it I mean the thing is the people next door must be thinking that they're building a very big marquee for six people now now she shares a birthday in the tho 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 thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi 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 th. th. th. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the theeeeeeeeean. thean. theeeean. theeeeeeeeeeee. thi thi thi th children who are also three on the same day in her nursery. So we're going to do birthday in the morning, but then she can go to nursery and there's

20 kids there so it's like they're having a party at nursery. So it's like they're having a party at nursery. So there's your loophole. Oh, what a loophole! So basically because it's. Oh, that's lovely. She have breakfast with them presents and stuff and off she goes. Off she goes. Lovely. No Zoom, no Zoom party. No Zoom party. I'm still waiting for those Zoom parties. I'll let you know how they go. Yeah. Once I've logged in. And a bit worried though. I don't know if anyone that goes to my daughter's school listens to this. I'm going to have to tread carefully. That is a worry, isn't it? Surely it would spread like wildfire once they realize that someone is documenting their child's time at the school. Exactly.

Well, the thing is, I think you've got to go two ways with this. You either don't talk about it at asks. You either don't talk about it at all, or you do the carown, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, the, the, the, the, to, to, the, to, the, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, when, the, the, the, the, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.. to. to. the, the, is, is, is, is, is, is, just isolated at the school gate. I'll be honest with you. I'm trying to tread carefully, but I haven't had too many, I mean I've got some beef that I'm not going to put on here, but... Oh, I'd love to know that beef. We should do a charity special, we would just actually beef off everyone. How's your week been? It's been all right. We converted to a big bed from cot. Oh, how did 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. 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 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 th. I I I, th. I's, th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's the. I's toda. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try.e. I'm try. I'm try. I've try. I've toe. I've toe. I've toe. I'm toe big bed from cot. Oh, how did that go? Two nights were tough. Did she come into your bed or she just cry? You have to lay with her, what happened? Do you know what? This is the best thing, mate. She has literally no interest in our bed.

Same here. Same here. Same here. My kid's my bed. Rob, I sat on it the other day, it's one of the hardest least comfortable beds I've ever been on. But she doesn't know any better. So it's fine. She's lucky to have it. Exactly.

So she's basically sleeping on a plank, but she doesn't realize that that's a problem. So I'm not going to tell her. What size bed did you go for? Just a single? King. we've got a double for our kids because that basically they don't need bedroom space for a desk to work so we've basically taken over most of their room with a double bed both for that they've got a room each very love to have a room each they've got a double bed because then when we have people to stay we've got spare beds rather than

rather than in your mate or cousin in a tiny little curl up car bed. So do they get lost in it? Well not lost but you know. Yeah, no, yeah. Have you ever come in in the morning? It's taken an hour to find them. No, no, they don't get lost in it but the beauty of the kids is they do grow. They do. That is one of the things about them. Oh that's goodty training as well. It's been a very big week. Through the night, yeah, or not? She wears nappies, but she doesn't really do anything in them. And then she takes them straight off and puts them in the bin for us. Oh, excellent.

We're still at the stage of nappy in the night, bit of whey in it. But I mean, no, Russia, I's the out, that'll be fine, that'll go wouldn't it? Once you know, she gets to uni, it'll be fine. But should we do uni from home by then it'll be via Zoom so doesn't really matter? You can just sit there, piss herself on Zoom and still learn. And I think that's the future of our country's education. You can sit there with a nap you on 18 shit and piss yourself and still find out about fractions. Exactly. Exactly. And 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' term for the thrill. Imagine going to uni to do maths. Fucking hell. That's insane. I know it happens, but imagine. I know it happens.

I mean, year nine maths is mental, and it, I didn't try and I lost. I was quite good at maths and I quite liked it when it was just sums, and then once it got into like trigonometry and they're trying to apply it to cake and you're like a ladder against a wall and you're like this wouldn't fucking happen. The moment it became unlikely, count me out. I'm still furious, they never taught anyone out to do a self-assessment tax return. Like everyone in my fucking school has to do because they're all gas fitters and plumbers or comedians. Well that's that's that you know what I mean? Well, that's quite a good percentage.

Yeah, it is. How's your week been, Rob? Well, I've had a weird week for a parenting podcast is because I've been away working for 11 days in a row. Blamey. That's a packed, she's a massive, massive block, right? And what's weird is when you've been away and to do they. the to do to do to do to do the to do.... to do. the to do. the to, the the the to, the to, the the the the the thoom. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. th. th. th. How's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how's, how th. How's th. How's th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How, how th. How th. How th. How th. How th. How th. How's th. How's th. How's the th the the that the that the the the the thou. How's the th the th th the th th the the the she just did it on her own, I come back to sort of try and help but I sort of get in the way and ruin it because she's got a system. Yeah. I'm sort of trying to help and then I'm sort of doing it slightly wrong and the girls are like, oh no but that's not how you do you do your out and I've not done any of my house admin, life admin, and then she's not been able to do

it either because she's been working on something, it's just a horrible catch up and everyone's a bit like, but we've got a couple of days to sort of catch up and stuff. So it's quite difficult to get back into family. It's quite difficult I found is I used to go to work as like, oh my god I get a break, I'm so lucky, but now they're older and they're going to school and we don't actually see them that much in the day because they're at school and that. I just miss them. I just miss them. And then when I come back, they're not here because they're at school and stuff. It's a weird. their a weird, a weird, a weird, a weird, their, they're a weird, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, 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 they're they're they're they're they're they're, 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, 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'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 when you're in the you know the midst of lockdown or when they're really young you can't ever imagine that yeah but like now I sort of and so it's like that work balance the work life balancing and I'll be reading this book here called

the cost of these dreams you'll love it. The cost of these dreams yeah so all these the they. So it's basically this basically this is basically this is basically this is basically this is basically this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American this American of greatness and its cost in the world of sports. So all these people that, it's got like stories about messy, Michael Jordan and then also some like American College football coaches. Yeah, and about the balance of work and life and about the balance of work and about the balance, of their life, obviously, these guys are doing it to the extreme. But like everyone has that where you want to be there for him. And anyway, I'm having an existential crisis on like day 10 of being away from home. Is this how you're announcing your retirement, Rob, live on the podcast?

No, no, actually I'm announcing the divorce. The fact that I don't want any access to the kids. I'm just going to focus on my dreams. No, so like, you know what life balance is all over the shop. Too much life, not enough work. Yeah, fuck the life. Sorry, got stops through it. Get rid of the life. Anyway, so I was reading this. You know you have those moments of like, oh, am I working too much? I'm not seeing the kids. I read this. It's one of those brutal passages I've ever football, right? Basically, he's got four kids and he's just working all the time and he keeps cancing all their stuff. Anyways, his eldest daughter has just got a scholarship to play volleyball, a big college,

and in America, they basically, it's all done in a big hall and you do, basically, if you're getting a scholarship, it's such a big deal that speech at the school and he tried to get out of it and his secretary who's got four kids went, no, you are going. And so forced him to go. Anyway, so there was about 80 or so people in the school cafeteria for this big announcement. Urban and his wife Shelley, joined their daughter at the front table watching. Anyway, so his daughter, Gdee, stood and and spoke. She'd been nervous all day and with a room full of eyes on her, she thanked her mother for being there, season after season, year after year. This is in front of the whole school and all the teachers. Then she turned to her father. He'd missed almost everything. You weren't there, she told him. Shelly, his wife winced, her heart broke for Urban, who sat with a thin smile, crushed. Moments later, Gigi high-fived her dad without making eye contact. their. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. 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.

She later, Gigi high-fived her dad without making eye contact, then hugged her coach.

Oh my God. Imagine, imagine that didn't happen to you! Oh my God. Your soul would leave your body? That is, oh, do you know what, I felt a lot better about myself. Yeah, exactly, but it turns out that he, what happened was he had a nervous breakdown, but then recovered, re-addressed his balance and went back to manage for a couple of years and retired, so it was a happy ending.

Oh, that's nice. So, have you been doing a lot of high-fiving the daughter since you got back from your working for 11 days, well, I've basically. Just laying next to him in bed. I'm here, I'm there, I am here. Yes, sure I wasn't here for 11 days, but I'm here now, but I just read that and I was like, oh my God, that is not, that is what I don't want to be. But it's hard, isn't it? It's hard, isn't it? It's hard to balance that up. Yeah, and you read, have you read, have a their. Have their. Have their. Have. Have. Have. Have. Have, have their. Have, have their. Have, have, have, have, have, have their, have, have, have, have, have their, have their, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, their, their, yes, their, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

The one where basically, you know, she was at a boarding school in like Devon or somewhere. We should try and get her on the podcast. She was a boarding school in Devon. And the coach would bring them all up from Devon to Royal Abbott Hall,

where they'd get picked up, okay, for Easter holidays from boarding school, and then she come all the way up, all the other girls and boys got picked up and she got left, her mom or dad forgot, and they had to just drive her back to Devon. Oh, could you're a mad, that poor girl! Tip of the iceberg, there's some astonishing stories in that book. She's not on here promoting it, but I should say, it is one of the most the most the most the most the most the most does, doesn't he? What a guy? Oh my God, yeah, she thanks him for everything. No high-fives. No high-fives, the full hug. Back to school signals a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons. Change is in the air. But one thing hasn't changed.

The Ford government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year. If the Ford government won't change, it's time to change the government. Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.

Big Breakfast, motor mouth, children in need. It's the one, the only. Gabby Roslin. I'm going to be honest. I'm very excited about this. Me and Rob will often suggest guests back and forth. And when Rob said Gabby Roslin, I've never replied yes quicker in my life. Hello Gabby Roslin. I don't believe you. Honestly Gabby, he

is a mega fan. I don't believe you. That's just you, no. Gary, this is meant to be about parenting, but I'm mainly going to be focusing on motor mouth. So You're not old enough to remember that. I am old enough to remember that, Gabby. It was, I've just checked the dates on Wikipedia. It was 1980 to 1992, so that was, I was six to nine. Oh my, well I was only, I was a mere 12. It was amazing how much you did before you thin. So Gabby, let's start with your, let's start with your parenting.

Let's get that out of the way, show you, Rob. Yeah, yeah, happily, yeah. I'm the embarrassing mum. And I'm proud of being the embarrassing mom. And I'll always be the embarrassing mom. How old are your children, Gabby? 13 and 19 so my oldest is aware at university and she said that the the thing she doesn't miss is the way I wake her up in the morning and it's it's wrong and it's abusive but I don't care. So how do you wake her up in the morning?

Well I sit on my girls and I sing musical theatre songs. Oh wow, old bold start to the day. But that's and I'm not lying. I mean that is honestly if you were to ask either of them how I wake them up they'll say oh we're fast asleep and mom sits on top of us. Actually it's really weird when I say out loud. They're quite old for sitting on them at night. No but I wouldn't do they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. I wouldn't do th th th th th th th to th 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 th. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to, Gabby, not old, but they're quite old for sitting on them at nine... No, but I wouldn't do it if they were little. Actually, I did. When they were really little, I'd get, I'd lie down next to them and sing a musical

theatre song. Now that, because my 19-year-old, she's 19, she's not grown up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to to to to grown, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thee, thee, I, thee, thee, thee, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, 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 used to go in in the morning and I'd sit on her, she'd be on her side, so I'd sit on her, properly on her legs, I'd go, boof, and I start singing, there are worse things I could do or anything from any musical. Well, what like would you still burst into that room? No oh my good oh what may I think you wouldn't the first few times if it was a serious relationship and they've got you know been together a little while a year or so I think you'll start edging into that Gabby. A year no no no it would be after a couple of days. I'm not waiting that long to be embarrassing.

Well, no, you're right, but actually, I know what I've do. I've got it. I know exactly what I'll do. I'll go, you know that when you close the door, you know when you close the door, and there's just, not the key the key the key, not the the key, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, the the the the the the the the the the that, that, the the, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the the the the the the the the the the the to, to to to to to to be, to be, to 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 the to be the the the to be the the the the the the the the the the the the tho do that, you know when you put, I'll do it on the mic, when you do that up to the door, you know when you do that to talk to somebody and I'll start singing, good morning, good morning, oh my God Gabby. So are you doing this purely because you enjoy ruining their morning or are you doing it? I mean, do you enjoy embarrassing them? Yes but also I don't take life that that that that that that that that that that that that tho tho tho their their their their their their to to to to their to to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to do to do to do 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 the the the the the the the the door.a.o.oomoomorrow. I. I. I'm the the the tooomorrow. I. I'm too. I'm too. I to. I but also I don't take, well, Rob has known me a long time now, but I don't take life terribly seriously and I also think a really nice way to start the day is to laugh and to have

your daughter look at you in the way that my 13-year-old this morning on a Monday morning, although she loves, I have to say she really does love school, which is fantastic. But this th th th th I I I I I I I I th th th th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th I don't I th th th th th th th this morning on a Monday morning, although she loves, I have to say she loves, she really does love school, which is fantastic, but this morning I lay down next to her and I started drumming a tune on her bottom and I said, do you know what tune it is? And she went, mom, I went, no, go on, here it is. And then she said, oh my god, it's grease lightning. Yes! She got it! What time is this?

This morning it was seven o'clock. Oh wow. That's pretty early start to the day, in it, with a grease lightning drummed on your ass. Gabby, you are so full of life and energy and everything about you, you want to have as much fun as you can in that day and it thinks a wonderful way to live your life. But how do you balance that? Especially when the kids were younger and you were tired and worn out when they were toddlers and then you had to sort of like discipline them and things like that? How did you manage your personality in order to do that? When I remember sort of, you know, saying, for goodness sake, you know, do your homework, do your homework, but then they'll shout downstairs, go, mom, will you be quiet?

And I'm really sorry. I've just found something that's really funny. You've got to come and see that. So they'd probably say I'm not that stern. I leave that to their husband. Okay. So you don't really do any of that kind that's that's, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that to him. But you don't really do any of that kind of stuff. You're just a full fun time and then he has to do all the... No, no, no, I suppose when it comes to being careful, that sort of thing. I'm very, I don't want them to be hurt or, you know, that, I'm very unprotective in that way.

But when my oldest one, oh, oh, this is this is. No one was hurt in the making of this story. When my oldest one fell down the stairs and she properly fell down the stairs on on her back and on the bottom and she landed at the bottom and she just then, you know when a child sits up and goes and shakes their head because they completely shocked and then I said are you okay and she went mommy it fell down the stairs and then that was it I sat on the floor and I peed myself laughing and then she afterwards she kept saying and she didn't cry and she kept saying mommy what are you doing what are you doing and I said I'm sorry, but you're okay, and that made me laugh.

I wish I'd filmed it. And I do, that's the thing that makes me laugh. And so they, they, but if she'd been hurt, I would have been comforting and nice. My daughter, my daughter she started she's only four and a half she came home and said well school she went yeah someone fell over and the teacher said we're not allowed to laugh when someone falls over it's not funny and I in my head going well that's incorrect. It's my favorite thing it's it's really it's sick I mean I this does sound

like a name drop but on my podcast Robbie Williams was on my first guess and he was saying all these things th s th s 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 th. the th.

I mean I, this does sound like a name drop, but on my podcast, Robbie Williams was on my first guest and he was saying all these things that make him funny. And then he asked me and I said, well somebody walking into a tree and he went, I was going to say that but I just thought it was wrong. I went, no, somebody walking into a tree. No, it's the funniest thing. No, it's the funniest. It's the funniest. It's the funniest. It's the funniest. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi.

Oh your daughters like you though like this sense and excitement or they go sometimes I've I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their thi th. It's th. th. their th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th is just their their th is just their their their their th is is just their their th is just their the.

I's tree. too. too. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. you though like this sort of sense and excitement or have they gone sometimes I find I've got friends of mine who parents are like you and then the kids almost become like the adults a bit more serious

or have they gone followed you or they've gone a bit more serious because you're a bit more you know carefree? Well no they both my husband doesn't like the fact that we all laugh if somebody falls over or hurts himself. And he thinks it's really cruel. So if he is in the room and something happens, we all have that awful feeling of where you know you, you just don't want anybody to see you laughing and you bite the inside of your cheeks and you don't want to laugh and then he'll look up at it.

I know you're laughing. And you have to say and then and then he'll look up and say I know you're laughing and you have to think I'm really not and your voice gets me no I'm really not but but they're the same they laugh at oh gosh at anything somebody walking into a door somebody falling off a chair I mean it's those things and was you like this when they were little when they were a bit smaller a bit more precious. Oh there's a lot of good falling over the company and then Rob. That's, Gabby must have loved the first five years. Oh my goodness, falling off a slide. You know when they go, when they come off the end of a slide and there's then they don't stop

and they keep going. I have in fact during lockdown we used to go, my dad doesn't live too far away, is in his 80s and he hated it, he hated being locked up. And so we used to go and we'd play outside his front door, so he'd come to the front door and he'd wave and, you know, before you were allowed to see each other. And we'd talk to him from his front gate in our hour and we'd, we'd do be silly in the front and as unsurprisingly and with my youngest daughter loves skate love skateboarding love skateboarding and her older sister she true she was trying to teach us all how skateboard and I was saying I could skateboard I skateboarded when I was 15 there's only a couple of years ago to find I can. So I was skateboarding and I didn't to try to to the to the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the 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 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 the the the trying to teach us or have skateboarded and I was saying, I could skateboard. I skateboarded when I was 15. That's only a couple of years ago.

It's fine, I could. So I was skateboarding and I didn't mind taking the piss out myself. It's fine and I did fall over and I really can't skateboard anymore. But my youngest daughter, who's taller than her older sister, said, come on to her arm. to their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, so. So, so I, so I, so I, so I was, so I was, so I was, so I was, so. So, so I was, so I was, somea, somea, somea, somea, 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 I, so I, so I. So, so I, so I, so I. So, so I, so I, so I, so. So, so I, so I, so I, so I, I, I, I, I t t t t t t t t t t t t to, 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, toe. to. to. to. to. to to to to jump onto a skateboard. It was great that her little sister was holding onto her arm but nobody actually thought that you needed to to hold on to the skateboard. She's holding on her big sister's arm but the skate was as she jumps onto the skateboard and it goes flying and the two of them end up on the floor. And I sent it to my best friend who says she thinks it's the funniest thing she's ever seen. And my dad said it was the best gift we gave him in lockdown.

And we showed my husband whoto say, what's funny? And we all of that made us laugh even more. What's funny? Oh my God. Gabby, have you ever seen a show called You've Been Framed? Because you fucking love him, no. Oh, do you know what, when somebody goes on a rope swing, they can't flip off? That's just, oh, have you seen that lovely gift of a child that's on a little tractor

and it falls over and the tractor ends up on their head and they get up and smile? That is just the favorite thing. I'm crying. Oh my God, I'm crying. Um, social service that are listening then, um, all of this. None of them were hurt. None of them were hurt. No, I love it if Gabby, Gabby said, you've been what? What's it called Josh? I'll give that a gun.

And then you can lose. Gabby Rossin has died from laughter after watching 30 episodes of you've been framed in a row. But you know Gabby makes 10 grand a year from those 250 quids just submitting videos. She never lets a falling over go right. She's absolutely cleaning up. Harry Hill's got a direct line. Oh, I bet you love ice then you bit a bit of black ice. Oh my god. That's nothing funnier. Like keep waiting for a new iPhone release. There's a tent in front of some snippy ice.

No, I can actually tell you a real ice story. Oh no, this is this is the best. So we were in, you know when they do the pop up ice rinks everywhere. Yeah. And I, so I took, so I took, so I th. th. th. thu thu thu thu thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, the the, the thi, the the the, the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the, the, the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they. I they. I they. I th. I th. I th. I'm, thi. I'm, thi. I'm, the. I'm, to te. I'm, teat. I'm, teate. I'm, te. I'm, te. I'm, te. I'm, te. I'm, te. I'm, te. I I, so I took the girls, we went with some friends of ours to the one, oh my god, Hampton Court one, I think it was Hampton Court. And we, this is a few, a few Christmases ago and I said, come on, you're going to be fine and my oldest daughter was really scared. So she was holding on to a penguin thing. So I said, no, you don't... I can't listen. It's my favourite. You don't need a penguin thing. I'll hold on to you. You don't need a penguin thing.

So you should, my mommy, mommy, I don't, I'm scared. I said, don't worry. I can I scare. What she's saying? And my husband, my husband and my younger daughter stood there watching. I said, come on, this is to my eldest, she was going, but mommy, please. I was going, no, come on. I think she was about, she was about seven,

and my youngest was about two. I said, no, no, no, come on, hold my hand. So we started going really slowly around. And she went, oh, this is okay, this is. So I said, shall I let go now? And she said, she said, if I could hold on, if I can hold on to the side. I said, no, no, let go, the side.

And I was going, come on, and I was being really encouraging, I said, you're fine. So I said, come up, do like me, and I shot off. I went flying and I spun around and around and around the middle. And my daughter then fell as... And all there is is this footage of the two of us on our front spins. She's crying out of his, she's so scared. And I were like a new one. She's so scared. And eventually I crawled over to her and I said, don't worry, darling, everything's fine.

Then she just looked to me and she said, Mommy, sometimes you can't laugh if somebody falls over. And that made it even worse. And then we try to get up and there is nothing funnier than trying to get up when you're lying flat on your face on the ice and lots of people are watching. As I said, to just smile out, it the whole time and we've got the footage. I must, I must play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play play the whole play the whole play the whole play the whole play the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole. the whole. the whole. the whole time and we've got the footage I must I must play it about a hundred times a month. Can I suggest something I've got a conspiracy here that I think you may lead your family into perilous situation with always a camera on the go in your own sort of semi-autographical

prank show where oh let's go and see go see Granddad, bring the skateboard, mind that banana pill I've left on the floor, kids. Do you know we tried that? We tried that on the big breakfast or show like that. We tried to see whether you really can slip on a banana skin. And I don't think you really can. It's the angriest I've ever heard you. You're absolutely livid. Yes. How dare it not work? The money you spent on banana skins on your stairs for your kids to go on. Oh. So sometimes you wonder what it is about someone's sense of humor that leads them to start

their career in kids television, but I've kind of managed to nail it with you, Gabby. Do you know what, when I was a child I was exactly the same and when I was a child at three, I used to say I want to be a TV presenter. There was nothing ever, ever, ever, that I wanted to do why. And it was, I promise you, hand in my heart, it was never all fame or any of that rubbish. It was because I said, well, because it makes me laugh and I want to make everybody laugh. But not as a comedian like you guys.

I just thought, kids tell-y was just a laugh. And you'd have a laugh. I bet you absolutely love. I mean, I suppose your kids are too old too too too too too too too too too too too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the kids are to to the kids are too their their their their their their their their to laugh. I bet you absolutely love, I mean, I suppose your kids are too old now, but I bet you loved it when you're watching it with them. Yeah, but there's not kids tell it, there's not a Saturday morning tele like they used to be. Preaching to the choir here, Gabby. There isn't that sort of tele. And I love it. And I think it's a real shame that there's no anarchic mad television

everything's a little bit too straight. Yes I do agree with that I think you know they can't just have people falling over all the time though but as as just said I would redirect you to you've been framed you've been to you must have loved gunged you must have absolutely loved gunge to thunged you must have to have absolutely love gunge. Well, we did it on Motormouth. There's a thing called Gunjum in the Dungeon. I think I was gunged. I think I have been gunged. I bet you can't get enough of being gunged.

That sounds exactly of your street. But we got to do some mad things on kids' telli. I did Air Sea Rescue in the English Channel, and they the flotation devices and everything and they said don't worry we can hear you you've got a mic and I went okay fine and then I see the boat going away and it keeps going and I thought oh my god I'm here on my own so I started talking to myself as you do because I thought oh god at least they can hear me everything's fine I'm like what if there's a shark? and I was I was out on my own and I knew that I knew that the that the that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the helicopter the helicopter th. the helicopter the helicopter the helicopter the h. the h. the h. the h. th. th. th. th. I was th. I was the h. the he. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was the the the the the the h. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelo. telea. telea. telo. te. te. theeeeeeeee. the. I th. I like, what if there's a shark? And I was out on my own and I knew that the helicopter was going to come and rescue me, but then next thing I see, and this isn't a lie, the microphone floated away and I thought, how are they going to find me? And

then I heard, and there was a sea link ferry behind me. And I saw a helicopter and the man walking on the water and he because he's dangling below and I got so excited that I forgot all the rules they said to me they said whatever you do don't open your mouth and shout because the water will come up into your mouth from the helicopter blades and and keep your arms down when they strap the rope around you so I'm there and I'm going, ah! There! And I thought, oh no, I'm going to drown.

I was still laughing. And I thought, oh my God, oh my God, I've got the water, I can't see anything because the water's going in my face. There's a sea link ferry, there's a man walking towards me on it. helicopter and he slipped the rope over my arms and he is looking at me and I'm just hysterical and then I put my arms down and I started kissing his helmet and don't know it's not you know what I mean and I kept kissing him and I was so relieved I was terrified and I thought oh this is the most terrified thing we got to the top of the helicopter and I just was looking at all of these people at Air Sea Rescue and I was, that was unbelievable! That was unbelievable.

Can we do it again? And they let me do it again. I've never been so scared, but it was fantastic. See, that's what you do on kids tell me. That's a bit of fun, that also. I love the fact that they had to had that briefing. So imagine drowning on the helicopter blade water once you've been rescued. But they probably don't go that close because there's no camera filming. Yes of course. Yeah, that does make sense.

They, um, when you work in kids tally, Gabby, are the people that work in kids telly, are you slagging off the kids? Like, you know how there's like a, in hospitals they talk about, they're kind of, there'll be quite a dark sense of humor behind it? Is the sense of humor between all the adults and stuff? Josh, can I'm gonna stop with it their their th it thing it that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that that. that that. that. that. that that that that. that. that that. that that that that that that's the. thiue. thiole. the. that's that's that's that's 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. thia. thia. thia. thia. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thea. thea. toea. toea. toea. toea. that's toea. thea. thea. thea. thea. th can I want to stop with it? Is that your dishwasher finishing the cycle? I love that.

I was worried it was your smoke alarm. I know, what a pro. It will plow on through the blaze. Yeah. Too right. I run out, fall over, Gabby will love it. Yes. But yeah, it's all right though.

What the kids tee tha tha tod tod tod tod tod tod tod tha tha though, what are the kids TV presenters like? Is it a bit more like, crazier behind the scenes because they're such a lot? Or do they take it like really seriously? Are people going, I actually think the guns should fall from this place because that's actually funnier? Or is it? Do you know what? Let's be honest? He's a god.

That's what I want to hear. He started off in a rock band and now and he could paint anything with anything and to work with him he was my first TV husband because I did kids tell foil Mottomouth was just me and some puppets and then I'd had my first tv husband was Neil Buchanan and then I went to Chris Evans as a TV husband so I was pretty lucky. I heard you could you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you that you that you th you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could you could the the the the the 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 th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the Neil Buchanan, and then I went to Chris Evans as a TV husband, so I was pretty lucky. I heard you can confirm this, that Neil Buchanan is the most difficult person to book in the world, because he's so rich

because Art Attack has been sold everywhere. Is that true? Do you know, the him suddenly out the blue, I'll WhatsApp him and it will just be, what was her name? So that will be it randomly the other day. I couldn't remember someone's name and I haven't spoken to him for maybe six months. So I just, I wotzapped him, what was her name? And I swear to you on my life, he came back with Janie Grace, and that's the woman who was our producer

or head of children's who who offered me the job and he knew who I was talking about. Well you just just sent him the text what's her name what was her name? Yeah what was her name? I wish I could I could screenshot it and send it to you because I swear that is absolutely the gods on his truth. Wow so you so then I phoned him up and I just I sw. I the the the earth. the earth. the earth. the earth. the earth. the earth. the the the the the the the to. to. to. the the to. the to. to. the the to. to. to. to. to. I was. I was. I was. I was.

I.............................................................................................................................. his truth. Wow. So then I phoned him up and I just I swore a lot, just go, how did you, what an earth have you just done? How did, what the earth have you just done, how did he do an art attack when you were doing motor mouth with him? Yeah. Yeah. Is he really rich from it as well Gabby is that that the connection with that? What? What connection is that? What? What? What? What? What? Is he doing? the the the the the the the the? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is he? Is the? Is the? Is the? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

Is he? the the the? the the the? the? the? the? the the? the? the. Is? the. Is? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the? it as well Gabby? Is that true? Probably? I don't know. I don't ask it. That'd be really weird. Gabby, I've heard he's the richest man in the world. But Richard and Bezos. Let's be honest. No offence to Nil Buccanob. If he weren't wading, he invested well, the geyser. Let's just sort of like that. Do you know what? He'd be good in the jungle, wouldn't he?

Oh, I think what? He'd arrange the twigs into a big picture of the queen or something. It'd be amazing. Have your kids seen your tele stuff, Gabby? Was it? weren't born when the kid's stuff or the big breakfast was on but my youngest was around when I did children in need and she loved it but they've they watch it the magic of YouTube and they just go mom you're mad that's but they used to it so there's nothing really surprising and even weirdly sort of city hospital there was somebody sent me a link to something

or city hospital which was a daytime show I did. And it took place in the hospital, live show, and we'd go from very heavy serious things happening on the wards to I'd get the doctors doing the can can in the corridors. And my kids, somebody sent me a clip and I showed them and they went, mom, you didn't actually do that. Yeah, why? You got the doctors, the the the the their their their their their their their their their tha, tha, tha, th actually do that. Yeah, why? You got the doctors, they're really serious things going on, mom, in the world. I mean, yeah, but that's why you've got to do the can can. How do you, because Gabby, like, how do you manage this sort of like,

you have quite a carefree fun attitude with like, the admin of having kids, you know, a teenage daughter is going to school and all that and packing the school bags so they've got all the right stuff. Like, are you quite organized with it? Was that something your husband does more of? Or can you still do both? Well, and be on it as a mom as well as having a laugh. Here's a thing that you two won't have the joy of. They actually packed the just tapped out. You don't have to do it. But I remember that mad rush.

I mean, I suppose you said, you asked if I get irritable or annoyed. My favorite sound and their least favorite is, have you brushed your teeth yet? Brush your hair, brush your teeth? So that will be my, that's the cry of the morning, always. Are you must be quite a good morning person then Gabby? I am. 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 am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am. I am.

So that will be my, that's the cry of the morning always. Are you, you must be quite a good morning person then Gabby. I am, I am annoying. Did you ever have a problem with the early mornings? I suppose you've been getting up at like 3 a.m. for the big breakfast anyway. So kids was a blessed relief. I'm, I really am the person who, I don't like like 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 to the the the the the the the the to. the the to. to. to. to.

I'm probably naturally, I've always been a, probably wouldn't mean anything, but if you, there's a thing, there's a book years ago called Pollyanna and she always played the glad game. And I always used to be called Mary Poppins or Pollyanna when I was a child, because I like to see the joy and the silliest of things. But of course I get ready down. I remember, I give you, and I don't want to bring it down, but when mom died 23 years ago of cancer, and dad had cancer at the same time,

and I remember doing interviews afterwards, and whatever show I was doing, and they always used to say oh you're always you always say I'm so lucky or I love life and I said yeah and I always used to say to every journalist I'm so sorry I love life and when mom died I realized I was never going to apologize again because life's too short and it sounds sort of quite a deep thing to say to say to say to say to say. to say. to say. to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm they. I'm the their their. and I'm their and I'm their and I'm their their their I'm their I'm their I their I the their I I 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 th. I'm thi. I'm the. I'm theeean. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the short and it sounds sort of quite a deep thing to say but I'm not apologizing for loving life and my mom didn't live as long as she should have she died early 60s and I wish it that she was still around but I'm gonna

enjoy every moment because we're not you know we're not here forever so that's where I really do feel that about life. Well I think I think in a way as well th and th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to thi to to to to to thi. thi thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th really do feel that about life. Well I think I think in a way as well because really that what happened to you is one of the worst things that can happen to you is losing such a close person to you that you still think, well the worst things happen now so I'm just going to enjoy it because you know I think sometimes the anxiety of stuff happening can sort of stress. I think the to their to to to to to to to thapapapapapapapapapapapap. And to to to to live your life. And it's so infectious, Gabby, whenever I speak to you or I've met up with you afterwards, I feel like a little buzz, a little glow. And I think that's such a powerful thing to have. And hence why you were so good on tele,

as well as in real life, because that comes across and it makes people happy and full of joy. I love TV. Actually, that's the one thing in lockdown that I always, always, always used to say for years, I'm going into my 34th year of it now, and I always said that I am addicted to and I'm obsessed with Telly. And I decided in lockdown there was a sort of moment, realisation, that I love it. And actually I'm going to use that word and I don't care. I don't care if people think that's stupid or pathetic. I don't really really really really really th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. I'm going thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to th my to to th my th my th my th my th my th my th my th my th my th. I'm thi thi thi thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th And actually I'm going to use that word and I don't care. I don't care if people think that's stupid or pathetic. I don't really care. I love it. I love television, deeply love it. Of course I love my family. But I love television. They do ask, they say,

Matt, where do we come? I go, now don't be silly. You know the answer. Yeah. So on that, like, because, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that, that, 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. So on that, like, did you have like rules about them like watching TV or? No. No, I, what I don't want them to see, and actually I still don't like the idea of them seeing anything that's... Art Attack? No Art Attack at all. I don't want them watching. And I think when they were younger as well, I didn't want anything that was about cruelty, was about nasty. I didn't, you know, nudity, we're all naked, you know, I didn't want them to see, I want to protect them from the horrible things and I think there are some really nasty things that you can find in films and the they're older they can make that decision.. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their their, their, their, their, their, th. And their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I, th. I'm, th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, th. I, th. th. th. I, th. th. th. th. th. I, th. th. I, th. th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, ttttttttthe tthe a, toge, tttogu, tttha, today, tha, tha, thau. N. So I think that was the only thing and they loved Telly. My youngest one grew up on Mary Poppins and Balamore and my younger one, that's my oldest one, my younger one loved in the night garden. In fact we were talking about the Ninky Nonk just the other day and macapaca.

I can't stand in the night garden. Upsie days. I'm not a fan of the nightgarden's Gabby. I'm sorry. I can't do it. I don't get it. I feel like I need to be on drugs. And have you had any sort of big falling outs of your daughter and seeing people and things like that. Luckily, no, but we did, I mean my oldest one, the weirdest thing is that and I'm,

everybody I ever talked to about it, there are two extraordinary things that happen when you have girls that they turn the light off. They say, no, no, mommy, love you, love you and they come out the next morning, go, oh for God's it, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and I'm, and I'm, and love you, and they come out the next morning and go, oh for God's take, you just don't understand me. All right. But it's as quick as that and you just think, what did I understand? You said, no, no, mommy, love you and now I don't understand you. And I remember being like that myself. Yeah, I was going to say what we like as a teenager Gabby because I can't imagine you being kind of full of teenage anxiety. Oh no I was desperate. I talk about this all the time so I was desperately, desperately shy and I still am. So I as a child and as a teenager even though I was this giggly, I giggled all the time. I loved to giggle and I always got told off for talking and giggling but at school but I desperately shy so as a teenager it's th. it th. it th. it th. th. It th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a to be to be to be to be to be to be thi. I was a toe. I was a toe. I was to be toe. I was told. I was told. I was told. I was to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be th. I was a th. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a thi. I was a tole. I was a tole. I was a tole. I was a tole. I was a tole. I was a tole. I was desperately. I was desperately tole. I was desperately tole. I was a tole. I was desperately. I was a tole shy so as a teenager it it became unbearable

shyness of sort of 15. That's exactly how I was Gabby but I think both on paper now people wouldn't assume that about us. Oh but what so what was it how did you go from that shy teenager to now you know biggest TV presenter staff full of confidence full of energy what what what? Well I'm not, because I'm still, no I'm still very shy. And I know that you and I have had this conversation, Rob, but I, if my husband says, oh so and so it's invited us to a house party, I will just, no. I will say no, no, and then we'll go, and I will follow David to the lue because I don't want to be left on my own because sometimes that very shy me is still there.

And actually I've just learned now in the past few years to be loud and proud about it because nobody talks about shyness and I think it's a it's it was debilitating at 15. I'd go to a party and I remember a guy who I ended up going out with for a short time years later he was talking to me and I just, he said, you're okay? And I just thought, my mouth won't open. And it just wouldn't open because I was so shy. And then I went into the loo and I looked in the mirror and I went, you're okay, you're okay, and then I go back out there. And his name was Anthony, lovely guy. And he said, what you always been told you're shy? And I said yes. And he said, well,

maybe you're not shy. But I am. And actually, yes, I was always told I was shy. But I knew I was. And I just didn't have, I just was shy. I knew that's what it was. It was a sort of not in my stomach. And Rob, I don't know if it's the same for you as a certain age. You just, 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 to, to, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm, I'm, I'm, I was, I was, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, 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, I, 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 to. And, the to. the to, to, the to, to, the to, the to, the the to, the the the a certain age. You just, oh God, there's nothing worse than having to face people and talk. And how do you both end up being performers in that situation? I don't like that. Most performers are like that. Most of the people I've ever interviewed in my 34 years. I said the same thing. I used to get a knot in my stomach. So say there there there the there the they they they they they they they they their they they they they they their they they they they th, I I th, I th, I th, I th, I've th. I've th. I've thi, I've thi, I've thi. thi, I've to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to face, I've to have to face, I've to face, I've to face, I've th. th. th. th. I've th. I've, I've, I've, I've, I've th. th. th. th. I've th. th. I'm, I'm, thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thooooooooooooooooooome. I'm toe. I'm toea. I'm toea. toea. toea. I'm to the same thing. I used to get not in my stomach. So say there was a class

outing or something, they'll be not in my stomach all night, I was anxiety about it because it was different to like just being in school. And then I'd pretend to be ill so I didn't have to go. And I'd all worked up and sort of worried about going to to go and just not go.. I think in a way it's that you, I was always like you giggling, laughing, trying to be funny, making jokes, but on my own terms in a sort of comfort bubble of my family or close friends, but then even stand up, essentially I'm still being shy because I'm basically controlling that whole world where I come out and talk to someone in an environment where you sit there and I stand here and he, do you know what I mean? And then as time went on, I got less shy and got more confident in myself, but it was a slow process.

I don't know if it's the same for you, Gabby. Well, it's weird, I take the weirdest story that I always say, and so I've been with my husband for 15 years. And when we were first going out, I, we were invited by charity to go to an event, the event, the event, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, to, to, I, to, the, to, to, to, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I. I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I. And, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I... And, I, I, I, I, I, I. And, I. And, I, I, I. And, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the, the, the, t t ta, ta, ta, ta event at the Albert Hall on the Sunday night. The Saturday night, David had asked me to go to a party if somebody I'd never met. And I just, I was in tears, I just went, please don't make me. Please, please, please don't make me. And he was, okay, okay, I mean, I just don't know anybody there. I can't do this. And afterwards he said oh that was the best party I'm so pleased I said I hope you understand and he did yeah

you know I told him I'm very shy I just couldn't handle it and then the next night we were at the Albert Hall and it was one of the charities that I'm patron of and we were there and they came up to me about 10 minutes beforehand and they said the MC has got the the the 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 the the to the to to me to me to to be to to to be the the the to be to be to be to be told. told. I'm told. I'm told. I'm told. I'm. I'm. I'm. 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 the the the the the the the the the the they. I I I I was. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. toe. toe. toe and they said, the MC has got food poisoning. Would you mind hosting the event? I mean, yeah, no problem. And his face was... Yeah. And I said, I'll be back, I'll come back and see you in the interval.

So I went backstage and I went out on the Albert Hall and hosted a two and a half hour. the tho scet, and the thoesha toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, tho, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, to hoan, the, the, the event, the event, hoan, hoa, hoan, hoan, hoan, hoan, hoan, hoan, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, hon, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, hoa, toe, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, hoa, their, the Albert Hall with no script and didn't know what was happening because I wasn't meant to be doing it and I loved every moment and then came back in the interval and his honestly his sort of jewel was on the floor and he's what? What? What? What? You just couldn't come to my mate's party last night? That's different. This is what this is me, this is what I love to do. So is that what what you're like Rob? Yeah so like for that for that for that for that for that that that that that that that that that that that that that that? that's? that's? that's? that's? that's? the the that's? the that's? that's the that's? the th. that's? the the they. the th. th. the 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 th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the th. their their their their their their I love to do. So is that what you're like Rob? Yeah, so like for me, like when Gabby said that, I went, for me, that's a better outcome of it. Like, I'd rather do that on the fly than go, oh, we're going to a family friend's barbecue and there'll be 50 people there,

you sort of don't really know. And I'll just be like, that's not, that's. Oh, to be a. Oh, to be. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's, that's a better. Oh, that's. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that's a better. Oh, that'steleteering stuff that would have been before that growing up and for all these new people have, but when I got a bit older you could go to the pub and drink, I sort of got a bit of confidence through the drink because it calms your nerves and sort of to talk to people. But to go into that kind of situation, sober and just to talk to people, it makes me sort of, my shoulders, but like, like you you you you you you you you that, like you that, 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, 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, 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, there, I'd be all over that like Gabby was, but it's strange, isn't it? And do you see it in your kids at all? Like, do you think they're shy? No, they're very, no they're not. They're very, do you know what? It's really weird? I was just thinking about a word to describe my girls and I'd say they're very caring, and they're very caring. They're very caring, and they're very very very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're very, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, and they're, and they're, and they're, and they're, and they're, they're, they're very, considerate. And they're not, they're not outgoing, but I wouldn't say they had the, they don't have the shyness that I had. Thank goodness. I think that's really interesting, because

I think a lot of people would see both of you too as like, you know, big personalities, people that have got absolutely no fear. And I think that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that, that, that, that, that, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they're, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, 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're, they're, they're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they're not, thi. thi. they're not, they're not, their, their, they're not, their not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not,that's a really interesting thing that, you know, people wouldn't... Yeah, but I knew that even as a child. I say, even when I was three and I watched Blue Peter and I pretended I was one of the presenters, I knew that I was shy, but I knew that that that's what I wanted to do. I remember when I was a, one of my earliest memories was, thi to be at a kid's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, toilet was I shit myself. And I remember what I did was it was a game that when you pressed it it would make a rur-a sound so I basically used to press that when it made the sound I'd start shitting to cover up the noise and I still remember that. How many times did you do it?

How did I let in a little bit out of time. That is, oh my god, that is a terrible first memory in it. Oh wow. Oh my god. A therapist that have a field day with that. Yeah, it feels like your whole, your whole life has been a revenge mission for that memory love. Oh my god. Because imagine if my daughter come home for a party. Don't do that now, please don't do that now.

But like at the time, if my daughter come home and I said, what happened, she was like, I was too scared to ask for the toilet was so I did a poo and use the to cover up the noise. I've been there. Yes. What did, what did. I can't remember, I think I just went to, in the end, I think someone said, found the toy of it, I went there and I sort of just sorted myself out, but, but it's weird to be that shy and then go from that to, you know, doing what you do, but it's just, it's a different skill I think.

But I'll walk into, I'll walk in to, because I'll, because, because, because, because, I'll, 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, 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 I'll talk to anybody. And if I have anybody walking with me, the kids always go, mom, you can't. Yes, I can. And actually, most people want to talk. I literally, anything, if I see somebody crying, I'll always go and see if they're okay. Nowadays, obviously you have to be careful. You don't go too close to somebody. But, but I will, when I were used to get the tube. the to, the tube, to, to, the, and I, to, and I, to, and the, and, and, and, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, to, and, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I, I, I, and I, and I, and I, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, most, most, most, most, I. And, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, I to, most, most, most, I to, most, most, most, I the, most, most, most, I the, I the, yes, yes, I the,tube everywhere and people would often look at me and go, oh how come you're on the tube? How come you're on the tube? And like where are you going? And then I'll start talking to them and I've got tubes, I've got people singing on the tube. I've got everybody laughing. I've got, I've done it all. I'm not going to lie Gabby. I would absolutely hate that. I would th. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho. the tho. the their. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. 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. th. th. th. the. the. to. toda. Where toge. Where toge. I. W. I toge. W. toda. toda. W. togu. toda. W. th. the. the. the. did that on the tube? No, do you know what? I tell you, there were two things that happened. There was a guy, I was on the overground and the guy, it was really rude to me, and he just said, what are you doing here?

This isn't for people like you, you're not supposed to, you're meant to have a show driven car. And I said, what do you you you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the guy, what the guy, what the guy, what the guy, what the guy, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, and I was, and I was, what, was, was, was, was, the guy, the guy, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was the guy, was really, was, was really was, was, was the guy, was, was, was the guy, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the guy... the the the the the guy, was really really. the guy, I said yes it is it's for everybody and then all these people started joining in and I said yeah I'm gonna really annoy you now because we're all gonna sing together. He just looked and he said he said what do you mean I said well I'm gonna sing I'm gonna get everybody singing because I'm really annoying you now so we did. Do you know what we sung? What? The most annoying thing I could think of. Super Califragilistic, X-Bally-Docious. And I got everyone, I know everybody's joined in,

but a lot of people did. And do you know what he did? He swore at me, he kept swearing at me, and he got off at the next stop. And when he got off, everybody cheered and clapped. And that's a true story. I do think that maybe that's like if you are shy like to try and overcome it we both just went right what is the worst thing I could do like because if I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to someone at a barbecue and their family friend what's the worst thing to do? and go up on stage and do it. I was I was really nervous and stuff and 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 was I was really I was really I was really I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really th. I was really really really really nervous th. I was really th. I was really really really really really really really really really th. I was really really really. I was really really. I was. I was really really really. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was really really. I was. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really th. I was really th. I was really nervous. I was really. I was really. I was really. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. I was really. I a stuff, but I think you sort of counteract it by doing the worst thing you could do. And for you, like if you were shy, the worst thing to do is go and speak to a stranger in the street.

You sort of owned it and then not allowed it to be the thing sit on the bath and people would say, oh my God, I think my husband's going to leave me. As a child, and people still do it now, so people have always told me things, always. So I just made a career out of people telling me things, I suppose. Would you like your kids to do TV or do youteacher and that's all she's wanted to do since she was three. And my youngest wants to be an actress and that's fine if that's what she wants to do and she wants to only do comedy.

Oh brilliant. Like physical comedy, like falling over, stuff like that. Probably. I don't know if you put videos up of your kids, but if you want to send us those falling over videos of an Instagram. I never have done I think they would kill me. Fair enough. I don't either so I totally understand. If you want to like recreate them and act it out yourself, Gabby then. Oh happily I'll do that. If the three can go skateboarding together I'm very happy to reenact that moment with pleasure. What a random thing to put on Instagram, us three falling over on a skateboard. Rob, you've always got a, you have a question you like to ask everyone.

Well, yes, Gabby, this is an opportunity for you now, because sometimes things frustrate about the way your partner can parent. So is there something that your fellow does that frustrates you with parenting? That you couldn't say to his face about kicking off, but you can say now and hopefully he may hear and adjust his ways. It's something, it's your opportunity now to something that, you know, it's a fair comment but there's never a right time. Oh, I know, well, interestingly you had dishwasher stuff going on. It's to do with the dishwasher. He always, he has to load the dishwasher. When we put anything in the dishwasher, he thakes it out and redoes it. Oh, right.

Yeah. So if he could stop doing that, and the kids, you know, they put their plates on the side and then he'll say, can you put them in the dishwasher? So we'll put them in the dishwasher. And then I hear that noise. And I've crept up and I've looked up and I've crept around the corner and I found him taking it out of the bloody dishwasher and reputting it in. Oh, there's nothing that will noise more than a dishwasher rearranger. No, but also he's anal about the dishwasher.

I know, but he's got, that's, that's, that's a pathetic way to live you last year. Yeah, it sounds like a very different character to you, Gary. He sounds like I. I can thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th an thi th an th an th an th an thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho that's no there that's not that's no there's no, there's no, there's no there's no there's no there's not there's not there's not, there's not, there's not there's not there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there there there there there there there that's no that's no th no th no th no th no th no thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's not tho that's not thoannoann' that's no more thoannoannoi no more that's no more that's no more thoanananannoi no more that's no more that of a dishwasher. Well put it this way, whenever he's been out or away or something and he went away, he took our youngest skiing because the skiing thing I don't get, I'll do zip wiring and airsea rescue skiing, no. But I don't have thought being on a ski slope would be an absolute, like a child in a sweet shop gab. It's stupid. It's stupid. You put two bits of long things on your feet and you fly down a mountain, slide down. No, if you're going to fall, that's fine. Not the sliding down. No, don't like it. I like the bit at the top. I like to stand at the top. It's lovely. Don't like, I like the ski lift, all that. No. So he went away. to the the the the ski. I to to the ski. I. I. I just loaded the dishwasher and I put it on all by myself and it's all hicklty-picklty and nobody can know.

And he was pissing himself laughing. Just like put a pint glass the right way up, full, just fill with murky water. Most people ring up and go, oh I decided to get really pissed to today and I'm I I I I to get it it it they. And I've they. And I've thip. And I've thii. And I've thi. And I's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And I've thi. And I've all thi. And it's all thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and it's all all thi, and it all, and it all thi, and it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all it all thi, it all thi, it all thi. And it all thi. And it all thi. And it all thi. And it's all thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiolioli thioli' all thi' all thioli' all thioli' all all thi' all thi' all and I've got takeaways and no it was the dish washer! Yeah! Well you know you need to have a bit of balance the ying to your yang is it Gabby? Exactly. He's also pretty mad though he'll suddenly start doing stupid voice. He's nothing to do with the industry and I actually I think that's probably a very good thing. Yes I think so. What does he do? What does he do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do? Does he do? does he do? does he do? does he do? does he do? does he do? does he do? does do do? does do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? th.

Yeah, he's a bit of both. He's a he's a very clever guy but he's a he's more he can do the academic side as well as the creative side academic and me. I can't imagine you helping your children with a homework. Yeah. How was homeschooling with your 13 year old? What happened? Please talk's talking through the Gabby Rosling schedule of homeschooling. Did you bother?

I'm hoping I'm just upset over. No, I'm laughing. No, I'm laughing because you're so right. He did all of the homework and I did. I never do that. I'm not very good at that. I'm not. I'm quite, I'm quite, no, the drama, the drama, the drama, the drama, the drama, the drama, but, the drama, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm hoping, I'm not, I'm hoping, I'm not, I'm hoping, I'm not, I'm not, I'm hoping, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm quite, but no, the drama, I help them with their drama. All right. That's a tough one for you. And English, no I like the English, so I love all the anything to do with, with English literature, I love all of that. So I help them with that and I help them with the art and I help them with the dr- I'm laughing just because it's so true. What was a schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule schedule.

schooling so I'm actually well actually they're very lucky because my oldest was at university so she did a few lectures online and the my youngest school was three to four every day online online online oh okay so you're lucky they nailed it when you're when you're teaching them art do you ever go I know literally the richest artists in the world you can speak to him Mr Neil Buchanan you know what I actually all jokes aside during the lockdown I said to my oldest the I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the oldest school school school school school the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the youngest school school school school school school school the the the the the youngest school school school school school school school the the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the youngest the the the the the the the the youngest the the the the the the youngest the the the the the the the youngest the the the the the the youngest the the the the youngest. the the the the youngest. the the the the youngest. the the the the youngest school. the the the the the the the the youngest school. the the the youngest school. you the the youngest school. you the youngest school. the the youngest school. you the the the the the the the the youngest. the the the know what I actually all jokes aside during the lockdown I said to my oldest or should we speak to Neil and ask him if he if he'll do a lesson with our youngest and see if if he'll do that and she just looks to me she went you're going to ring up Neil Buchanan and say, can you tea my youngest?

I mean, yeah, it's a good idea, isn't it? She just, honestly, she just thought I'd gone completely mad. Oh, Gabby, is it so good. It's been an absolute pleasure. I think you should write a book Gabby about how to live life, because I think you've got it nailed. Oh, bless you. Rob, I completely adore you. Josh, I do and I've never met you. I really do. No, but it's an absolute pleasure to speak to you.

And what's your podcast, Gabby? I was on an episode of it, you've got. It's not out yet, Rob, you're one. They've started with big names. No idea, I'm not. He was absolutely. I. I. the. the. 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. tooe. to. to. tooe. too. too. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. 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 now because he doesn't like it but I adore Rob I think he's the most wonderful glorious I've seen him do his light I'm actually I might be your stalker because I've been to all his shows my husband's come along to his shows my family know my love love my mate is go why does Gabby Ross he always come to your show I'm actually doing a zoom

lesson for Gabby's daughters about comedy next week. She's got me lined up after. You can. And what's the name of your podcast, Gabby for people to go and listen to? Thank you. It's that simple. Brilliant. Robbie Willem's lined up Dame Judy Dench. It's an absolute binger. Thank you so much Gabby Rosin.

What a woman, Josh. Amazing. I didn't feel it was on brand to discuss the big breakfast, but there was so much I wanted to discuss the big breakfast. It was absolutely mad. I felt like a right little nerd going, but what about your kids? And she's talking about sea rescues.

I know, you're kind of going, Are we completely missing what? I know it's a parenting podcast. Is everyone at home going, I can't wait for more Neil Buchanan stories and we're going, do you have a problem disciplining your children? Also, it's like, she said, she told about three stories about her kids falling over that she's got on video that we can't see but it's still working about. I know, you're like, I'm not sure how I'm enjoying someone describing someone falling over, but I am enjoying it. So then, when you said, have you been framed? You'll love it, I nearly lost my mind. She's the great lost you've been framed post.

She should have been doing that. You know, if someone's on weed and they're really high and giggly, but that's her entire life. It's like that. She's because, actually, the reason why I know her is, basically I used to go on a radio show and do little funny stories when it was a BBC Radio London. And then I got offered a pilot for Absolute Radio and I said, oh, do you mind helping me out, put it together and advice on doing a show. And she went, of course, and she took 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 go, to go, to go, to go, to to to to to to to to to to to to the to their their to their to to to to to to the the to go, 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 tho, tho, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooan, thooooooooooooooan, thoooo, tho, tho, and she took me to lunch, bought my lunch, gave me so much advice about how to do radio and broadcast and ideas and stuff.

What were her top tips? Just basically, if you can fall over on air, you'll be great. That was more like just relax and be you and also try and involve, like make the audience feel like the part of a and full of energy and you know enthusiastic it just made for so much better but she didn't need to do that no you know she just did that she was being a nice person and stuff so weigh. So we really hit it off and we just hit it off and we really hit it off and she's such a lovely lady but she's like Listen to a podcast, a walk about five hours. It just chats to people.

I'm absolutely following her Instagram straightaway, mainly, in case there's any videos of people falling over. Well, also though, I would put myself as a number one, Gabby Rosin fan, but I would have been absolutely furious of her singing Mary Poppins on the Jew. Yeah, that's absolutely unacceptable behavior. You know when people talk about how people don't talk to each other on public transport in London, I think, yeah, that's what I want. This is my time on my own and I don't want someone seeing Mary Poppins in my face.

Wasn't they been on the big breakfast or not? It's kind of weird thi though to be angry well. Yeah, what's this really about? I think it's also that shy stuff's really interesting and I think it'll be really, you know, that will speak to a lot of our listeners I think. Yeah, well I can't even explain why really, I just was really shy, nervous kid. And then I've just sort of,ness to stop me doing it yeah if you know I mean so yeah because I mean but like when I was 18

I'll just like be too scared to go in a pub on my own I have to wait outside for to meet my friends to walk in with them because I never wanted to walk in a venue on my own but from touring like I would eat alone in a restaurant the restaurant at 8 o'clock I'd wouldn't I I I I would I would I would I would I would because that's when your show starts. Yeah, yeah, I'm nobody half hour late really. I've all fit down. Sorry guys, I was on Waggon, I was on my own. Couple of Rennie's in the interval I'm raring to go. But yeah, so I can't talk to anyone's now really, but I do think though sometimes I go it's just but also people grow up and they're different the person you are at 14 and like you say you're never the

same person throughout your whole year life you evolve you change I love stand up and I think I'd stand up forever but I wouldn't be surprised in 50 or 60 I just opened a shop or something as to do something else. I mean Ed Gamble said that to me before what the week and I was quite chilled about it was like I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the. I'm theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I'm the. that to me before the week and I was quite chilled about it. It was like, how you so relaxed about it? I went, well, the thing is Ed, I've got a few jokes. Oh Sam, if they work, they work, they don't, they don't, and if I can't do this anymore, I'll open a shop or something. What would your shop be? Beck- Beckett's back, the sa sandwiches, the sa sandwiches, the sa sandwiches, the sa sandwiches, the sa sandwiches, it's quite an easy thing and I've also I've never eaten a sandwich I couldn't have made better myself. Do you?

Have you? I've never eaten a sandwich before I couldn't have made that better. No, I mean that. Do you think you do some trade because you were the guy that used to be on Mock the Week? Do you think some people are coming purely for the night? Yeah, a couple of gags. I'll have like, yeah, that's what they'll be renamed up, but they'll be renamed after different panel shows? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm trying to think of some now, but I can't. But if anyone wants to write in with the the menu for Beckett's back. What I lied to is basically to you. It's basically to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to the the to to to to the to to the to to be to their their to be to be to be to be to be tooen, to be to be to be to be their their their to be to be 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 to be tooen. But. But tooen. It's tooen. tooen. It's tooen. tooen. It's tooen. It's tooen. It's tooen. It's their their I really enjoyed talking to Gabby Roslin. It's also very exciting. It's very exciting when someone knows Neil Buchanan.

Having Neil Buchanan on SpeedDal, I bet his kids' artworks so good. I was going to say that would be a good question for Neil Buchanan would be, when your kid had art homework, was you just tempted just to, you know, what is it? Where did you draw theempted just to just you know? What is it? How? Where do you draw the line? Because I think if my kids start doing stand up, I'd like to the line. Because if my kids did stand up, I find it so hard not to give them advice of what to do. Because, you know, I don't know a blow-upon trumpet, but after 12 years to do it, I do no best if they've just started. I know exactly I know exactly I know exactly their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi. I know thi. I do thi. I do to do to do to do thi. I'm to do to do to do thi. I'm to do thi. I'm thi. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's.

I'm not be able to do it every time, but I know exactly what you need to do at that point. But it's very difficult for New Buchanan's son to submit for their art GCSE a 50-foot picture of a bicycle made up a bicycle parts on a lawn.

Yeah, where's your coursework? Come to the park, follow me. Have you got scaffolding in a 20-foot ladder. Thank you to Gabby. Thank you all for listening. We'll be back on Friday with, you know... So what Instagram's correspondence I'd say. We've got lots of get-for- Yeah. We'll see on Friday. Get us an email. See them. Bye.
