Hello, I'm Josh Riddickham. And I'm Robb. Welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell. The show in which Rob and I discuss what it's like to be a parent during lockdown, which I would say can be a little tricky. So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation. And to make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills. Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping. Or hopefully not. And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown parenting woe. Because let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. Hello and welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett.

Josh Whittakum. Just taking him. Aw. That's a cute one. That was a cute one. That was Emma, age four. Do you know what? I've got a question for you, Rob, that I've just thought of.

Would you have considered doing children's TV, and question two do you think you'd have been good at it? I don't think so, no. I think I've got more edge than I show. I think I think you'd end up slamming a child by mistake like yeah. I think I'd end up doing a joke at their expense and it would all go wrong. Because I'd I'd end up like a joke of their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their joke. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I' th. I'm to joke. I'm to be tho. I'm to be. thin. I'm 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 th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd to be to be to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm. I's. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm th. I'm thin. th. th. thin. thin. th. thoooooooooooooooooooo. I'm th. I'm bit with stiff-net comedian sometimes. I go in on them a bit hard and they panic because they're only children and no one's ever shouted over them before, so they don't know how to cope. Like, so I struggle with that, never mind little kids. You know what I mean? If you'd hosted it the sort of LeMack disease where Leemack's so fast

on a panel show that he will leave all emotion and compassion aside to get the joke in and then come up too after and go, I really sorry about that, I just said it too quick. It's just, his brain is like a formula one car of speed. Yeah, it's just bang, bang. the bang. It's just happened to be a that. It's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the, the, th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, their, th. It's, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's just, their, I's, I's, I's, th. It's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, th. th. th. to. to. tha. tha. tha. th. tha. th. tha. th. I lie to you and oh yeah I was a bit so that was a bit harsh that sorry about that it just came out too quick So I think again, I think I'd be a bit I'd be a bit like that you'd be saying that to a four-year-old in the in the green room of um sorry about all that stuff about all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, what about about that? I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about I had I had I had I had I had a bad I had a bad I had I had I had a bad I had I had I had I had a bad I had a bad I had I had a bad I had a bad I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I I I I I I I I had I I I I I I I I I I had I had I I I I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had a bad I had a bad I had a bad I had a bad I had a bad a bad a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a bad about a big, I had a football or something. You know, I don't know if you don't, I don't know if you'd, no it wouldn't have been for me it wouldn't have worked. It wouldn't have worked. It wa' it takes a certain skill set doesn't it? It really does. I mean, yeah, so not for me. I mean, I'd say we parents evening of the first school of primary school this week, which is going to be, I mean what can you say about a kid at that age? I've told you what the, what my first parents evening didn't I? No. My teacher went,

Mrs Beckett, where do we start with Robert? Let's put it this way, he's never going to be a high flyer. Five. Five. It would have been four or and a half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half half th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. the th. th. to be th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I t. I too. I too. I today. I today. today. today. today. I was. today. I was. I was. I was. I'm. I'm. and a half actually. I suggest you get down the early learning center and get some blocks and shapes. What? I know my mom took me out at school and took me to another school. That is amazing. Look at me now. Yeah. I'm a literate but I did host a raw variety performance. Who's laughing now? Yeah I'll say mid-level flyer. Just enough to parachute from but not to be picked up on radar. Yeah, well that's nice to hear that you know you've overcome that. Any parent evening disasters that anyone wants to give to make you feel better ahead of this terrifying first parents evening.

You know the email address. How's your week been Rob? It's been alright. Yeah, I've been at home a bit more of the kids, doing the school runs and stuff. How about you? You're all right? Yeah, I've got much better. I've developed a technique of making tasks I need to do around the house fun for my daughter. All right.

So then it's like a game. So just turning really boring things into thaaa stuff, tha stuff, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, thin, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, 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's, I's, I's, 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's, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've t t t t to. too. too. too. too. too. too. t too. too. too. too. too. I've got thea. I've the game. So tidied the drawers in my office, she really enjoyed that. Yeah, but what was the game? Each thing I'd say keep or throw away and then she'd have to put them in a different pile. Oh, that's good. Yeah, good, huh? And then breaking up some polis dyriarine that came with her new bed, that was a fun game. And then taking some clothes the charity shop. She she she she th and th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, the, the, the, the, I'd the, I'd the, I'd the, I'd the, I I'd the, I I'd the, I I I'd the, I I I I'd the, I I I I'd the, I I I I I I'd the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, theate, theateateateeateeeaa'' theateateatea' theatea'eateateeeateeeeeateeeee. each thee, shop. She absolutely loves taking the close to the charity shop. You send her on her own. Yeah. Heavy bag, but you're doing a good deed, seeing a bit. I do that with my girls, but I do Sergeant Major. Yeah. Sergeant Major is quite a good one where you sort of go, right, Army, assemble, you make them all stand up at march, because the stuff they are into is so boring in itself,

they don't realize that what you're doing is actually boring as well. It's as crap as the stuff they like. Yeah, so I think it's an adult job so it must be fun and exciting but it is and our life's awful. Also as well, another technique is whoever tidies up the quickest gets a bag of Harry Bow that really gets them going. Yeah and do they both get one or is that absolutely you know winner winners only? I mean it always ends up as a draw. Yeah, they've had 15 score draws in a row of who tied it up the best. I tell you what, seeing as it's been a drawer again, you both have Harry Boe? Have you got anything on the Instagram Robb? Yeah. I've got some Instagram. Yeah. Have're still going through Joshua. Do you want this one? Yeah. So, hi, Robert Josh, love the podcast. It's really helped me get through lockdown of the last six months. Thank you.

I'm glad to have helped to leave from Swindon. Following on from Trunk and Bomber. This is when my daughter called an elephant. this is when a trunk. UNT, which I can inform you she's moved on from, but she can't say conquer, she says onca, which just sounds like she wants a game of oncas where you just basically smash yogurts on each other. But she says, oncour. And she says, a corn for acorn, which really makes me laugh.

A corn. A corn. Anyway, like a harvest a waitress. A corn. Here go. So from trunk to bomber, I wanted to to to to to to to to to to to to to toe, toe, to toe, toe, toe, the the toe, the the the toe, the toe, she, she, she's, she's, she's, she's, to say, she's, she's, shea, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, shea, she.a, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a, c.a, c.a, tha, ress, a corn. Here we go, so from trunk to bomber, wanted to share with you that we used to have a huge wall clock train station style. And my four-year-old boy, when he was back to, used to tell everyone that we had a huge black cock in our kitchen. Hilarious, but also quite embarrassing. We got rid of the clock when we'd be decorated. I mean that is that's an extreme way to avoid having that problem surely.

Oh we got enough on it. Hi Josh and Rob. Firstly I'm not a parent by absolutely love the podcast. I persuaded my sister a busy mum of three to have a listen. She loved it also but she did come on that she thought the guys talked very quickly. I assume she was just referring to to to to to to 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 their their their 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. I their. I their. I their. I their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was. 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. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I that she thought the guys talked very quickly. I assume she was just referring to Rob's usual cockney, knees up, chitter chatter and quick-quit banter, so I thought nothing of it. However, a couple of days ago, she sends me a text saying, okay, there's a reason I thought they were super rapid. I had it on 1.5 time speed. Didn't even know that was a thing. I thought it was worth noting just in cases any other half-asleep parents out there that have you guys on fast food by mistake.

There's anyone that's got it on 0.5 to really appreciate it, to really get the most out of it. Take him a nuance of it all. I do find, and I don't want to tell you who, but there are a couple the the their their their their the most out of it. A nuance of it all. I do find, and I don't want to tell you who, but there are a couple of comedy podcasts that I do love, but I've always had issues with the contributor's speed of delivery, and I listen to their 1.5 to increase the last per minute count. Is that true? Wow. Can I have a guess? Yep. Wow. Can I have a guess? Yep. Yep. Because it's good stuff but it takes too long to get there.

So impatient. Anyway, what does it sound like on 1.5? Is it listenable? It's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Right. If you want to get in touch with the show, here is how? Absolutely hilarious.

Do you well. I've got COVID-19 but apart from that absolutely fine. It's quite funny because I've actually, it looks like I've given it to my old man as well which is more of a concern but he's fine as well. He's fine as well at the moment, but it's quite funny because he said to me last night he said, you know it's funny he said, I gave you a bloody empire and you gave you a bloody empire and you gave me Corona. It's quite funny. But the funny thing is, as I was saying to you off air is, I'm upstairs and I've got to stay up here for 10 days.

So I've done four. And unfortunately, my mrs and kids who are fine have got to self-isolate for two weeks. Now they've got to go back to home schooling. So I'm like, all I can hear downstairs is doors slamming and I'm, I hate you, I'm not doing this. And I'm like, every now and again I just fire a text into the mrs. going, you're doing great darling keeping up. Wow, so you're not allowed down there at you're not allowed down there at all you've got completely separate so she's got to do it all with two kids. I'm not sure I've got the plague I opened the door say hi guy my kids go get back in your room

so I'm like all right okay so how are you like eating and stuff you're getting your food just left outside your door like a present they run upstairs they're they're how old are you the 10 and eight? 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 they they're their their th. they's they's they's to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their. their their their their. their their their their their. their their their their their their their their their they're their they're their th. th. they're th. th. th. the. the. So the. So the. I the. I te. I's te. I's the. So the. I's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they and then go it's there and run downstairs. How old are your kids Eddie? They're 10 and 8. 10 and 8? Okay. Yeah. So at the moment you're just sort of on your own but how how was it when you were involved in the homeschooling back in the back in the day of full lockdown? Absolutely horrendous. I mean I think I've got two daughters, I've got two smart kids, but academically I don't think you know they're standouts, but they're quite lippy, quite leery, they, you know, they... Where do they get that from then? Yeah, I know.

Well, there's probably, like me, they're silver spoon kids, you know. So the aim is, and it was always my dad's aim, to make sure that you're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thin, 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, th.e, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their sure that you understood about hard work and, you know, making sure that you add value for everything in life, particularly your family. So for me, it's difficult, I think parenting a kid who has an upbringing that's a little bit unusual and that is the case with my kids because we're flying around places, you know, they're coming to shows, et cetera, et cetera. So it's important for me that, obviously academically is very a a that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thiiuuiuiuiuiuiuioliolioliolioliolome, that's, that's, tooo, tooomomomorrow, tooomomorrow, tooomomomomorrow, tooomomomomomom and, tooomomomom., tooomom., tooomomom., tooomomomom., to bea, to bea, to bea, to bea, thii. I I I, thi. I I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I's, thi. thi. to bea, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toea, toea, toea. toea, toea. toea. toea. toea. I'ma, toe, toe,'s important for me that obviously academically is very important as well, but just

just discipline and respect and manners, you know, to be honest with you is as far up there for me as the academic side, but homeschooling was brutal because my oldest just winds me up so bad. And there was one occasion when I was sitting at a desk and she's like, blah blah. I said, right, we're doing like some quite complex multiplication so I'm breaking it down and I'm like like, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, like, like, like, the the th, th, th, th, the th, th, th, th, the th, th. th. th. the the the thi, 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 be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to, I said, right, we're doing like some quite complex multiplication, so I'm breaking it down and I'm like, right, what's, um, you know, four plus four, so, and she's like 13, and I go, right now stop messing around, let's just get this done, okay, 12, and I'm like, no, listen to me, right? Just say it, and she's like, 17, 16, 15, 15, 14, 14, and I, and I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and I, and, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and I've, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, 16, 15, 14, 45 and I've just, like, literally, I don't, I try not to lose my temper, but I've just banged the desk with my hand, right? And like caved the desk in and she's looked at me and my wife just come in, she went, you've got to go, you've got to leave now for work. I'll take that. I'll take I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll that I'll th th th th th th th thake I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll tak I'll to to the the to to to to the the 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 try.

I'll t hardest, one of the hardest periods of my parenting experience

so far. And in the end, to be honest with you, we just sort of said, the worst thing was, we tried our nuts off, well my nuts, for about, I don't know, three or four weeks. And then I phoned up the teacher and I've got to tell you, it's causing arguments and the atmosphere in the house is not good and they're like oh well if it's like that just do what you can I was like what? I told me that four weeks ago I've been like literally up at nine right till to four o'clock trying to do every lesson and then they say I'm not no one else is really doing it all so I'm like, oh you've just wasted a month of my life so it's a mad year isn't it? What is it normally like with the parents and stuff? Because your diary, I mean especially

last couple of years when you've, I'm a big boxing fan, so where are you moving into like America and you're promoting over there? You're back and full from America to Europe all all over the place. How do you manage it? Where the kids are sort of dumped on you? their, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, the the the the the the the the the the the the to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. I is, thi. thi. thi. I's, thi. I's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the kids just sort of dumped on you when you got back on a Sunday morning or, you know, yeah, that's probably the hardest thing to be honest with you because this is hard being away from the kids anyway, but when you fly home, you know, if I did a show on a Saturday night, you know, generally you'd finish late and then you'd get up and then you'd to thrown. their to the to their. to to to to to to to to tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And then. And then. And then. And then. And then, too. And then, too. And then, too. And then, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to fly.. And then, to fly. And then, to fly. And then, to fly. And then, to fly. And then, to fly. And, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. And, too. And, too. And, too. And, too. And, too. And, too. And, the the too. And, the too. the too. too. too. too. the too. the too. And, the the toe. And, the toe. And, the toe. And, the morning, go to work and then go and pick him up from school and then of course you haven't seen them for a week so you're required to do absolutely everything that you know a normal father would be required to do whether that's go and play netball, whether that's watching play the piano, whether that's watching him doing trampoline or whatever it is. And it is hard to have that enthusiasm as well. to thrown. that's that's that's that's thee. thee. thee. that. that. that. that. the their their their that. their that. that. that. that. that. thoooooooe. thoe. thi. their their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thia. 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 thrue. thrue. thr. thr. thr. the rock at home but but as soon as I get home she doesn't go oh you must be tired dear why don't you go and have a lay down she said there they are see you later and then goes upstairs and chills out quite rightfully so so

it's about the balance really and I think the one good thing I guess everyone's bored of talking about it now but lockdown is given everybody a chance to sort of re-evaluate their life a little bit and spend more time with their kids and you know I've seen my kids more in the last five months than I than I have their whole lives to be honest with you. If you've spent a lot of time you're either working or you're back and your parenting is this 10 days when you're on your own stuck in a room upstairs? is it between us a bit of a bit of a relief? Yeah, I won't say it too loudly because you've probably got me outside, but I mean it's started off. So we do we do these boxing shows now that are behind closed doors and we take everybody that goes in to the hotel. So you arrive at the hotel, you get tested, you go straight to your room and you're not allowed to leave your room until their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, a to, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, a bit, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to your room and you're not allowed to leave your room until you've got your results.

So I rocked in there last Thursday, felt a bit rophy to be honest with you, but thought, I think I've just got a cold. Got the test. We tested 80 people. One comes back positive. to be escorted in a PPE mask, gloves, like apron, but down to my car, it's so embarrassing and then I got in the car and I'm driving home and I'm thinking, oh my god, I've got a bit home for 10 days and then I've sort

of, I got in this room on Thursday night and it's down Monday morning. I'm quite enjoying myself to work with me. You know, the food's coming to the door, right? I've got my laptop, I've got my phone. Last night I watched the boxing on SkyGo, right? I mean, I can hear all the arguments downstairs, but can't just can't get involved, I'm sorry. So, actually, yeah, it's all right. It's all right. How did your wife take the news that this was going to be the set up her homeschooling? It's like, darling, I've got, I've got a terrible news. What? I tested positive for COVID. Oh, you idiot! It's like, well.

I've really tried to be, you know, careful. I wear a mask. I sanitize my hands. Oh, I can't believe this. Why have you done this? It would be you wouldn't it? Well, it would be. Yeah. So, yeah.

And, you know, I think she's, no, she's not in a good, good frame of mind. Because I did, I messaged her this morning. I just said, um, could I have a po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po po have have have have th. I have th. I have th. I have th. I have th. I have th. I have th. I try, I try, I've th. I've try, I've try, I th, I th, I th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I th. I've, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try, I've try try try try try try try try try try try mind, to be honest with you. Because I did, I messaged her this morning, I just said, could I have a poached egg with avocado on toast? And she didn't require it. And then I just got a knock at the door half hour later, and it was just like this one bit of to toast with like little flicker of avocado on it, so I don't know. You're talking about your daughters and stuff, like you know, silver spoon kids, to, and to, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, you know, Silver Spoon Kids, you referred to as you was growing up. Is their childhood very different to your childhood or is it quite similar? Because it was quite a jump, wasn't it, from your dad's Barry's childhood to yours? And he does like to remind you of that quite a lot, doesn't it? Yeah, I think the difference is, obviously, you know, my dad came from East London. His dad was a bus driver and he lived on a council estate.

They had no money. And you know, he built his empire up from nothing. Obviously I had a touch and I was born, you know, but one thing that, when I wrote that book, it's like you start reflecting on your childhood. And I think, growing up, I was always Barry Hearn's son. And actually, probably only in the last six, seven, eight years, I've started making a name for myself. So me and my dad always joke that now he's Eddie Hearn's dad.

But growing up, he, you know, he was petrified that I would be all the things that he hated, which was the sport, rich kid, you know, who had everything and never had to struggle for anything. And I think family to us is the most important thing and we want to make sure that everybody you know is safe and looked after and you know we want to set them up for the future because that's the sort of school of thought that we have as a family. But at the same time time time time time time time time time time, th. thin, thi, thin, thi, thin, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I would thi, I would thi, I would the, I would tho, I would the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, I, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I thin, I would thin, I would thin, I would the, I would that, I would that, I would that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the the that, the that have as a family. But at the same time we are, I think probably his best achievement in terms of his parenting was that I do have a complete working class mentality. You know, we know that I was born into wealth, that's just how it was, but I do,

I don't see myself as, you know, a rich kid who just, you know, found his way into this job. I work my nuts off and I want, it's a bit different because I got two daughters, I think, you know, if I had a son, I might parent in a slightly different way, you know, I just want them to be happy really, but I want them to understand the important things, you know, like he drummed into me. How did he do it, Eddie? what were his things that he'd do? I think, you know, like when we were young, and I see it now a lot with his with his grandparenting, is that, and it's a very straight, it might sound strange to some people listening to this, but it's basically that you're not given anything. So if we were playing,

I don't know, I played a lot of cricket when I was younger, quite a decent standard, But when we used to play in the garden garden garden the garden the garden the garden the garden th g g g g g g., th. th their their their th th their th th th th th th th th th th th th. And, what were th th. But when we used to play in the garden, he would bowl literally full tilt at me. And, you know, and I was, when I'm talking about when I was like, I don't know, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and he was like, before we come into bowl, or before we play, say to me now, you ready? And it wasn't that he just wanted to win against to but it was like, I'm not gonna, and when we used to play table tennis, like we'd roll around on the floor, like I would be diving around this room

and he would be doing the, he would never ever let me win. And I think that was one thing that he always drummed into me particularly, is that, you know, he thin, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, or when I hit a good shot, I deserved it and I'd earned that right to do it rather than, you know, I do it now with my kids and I do exactly the same thing where, you know, we're playing in goal outside and she's, and I won't let a score. You know, some people are like. You're, you're, you've got a big frame in goal.

Yeah, but it's like, I don't know. Everyone parents different, don't they? Some will let it go through the legs and go, oh, but for us, you know, it's very difficult sometimes, I think, bringing a kid up in, you know, in that kind of upbringing because, you know, like I say, I'm traveling around the world, you know, they're going on great holidays where it's not a normal upbringing for them and I didn't have a normal upbringing, you know, at weekends I would be at the crucible watching

Steve Davis win the World Championship and the next week I'd be in America watching Nazim Hamid, you know, so it's very, it's hard to explain really, but I think the key is that, you know, I was horrible at school really, you know, especially in the early parts, I went to a school called Brentwood School, which was a private school, very good school. But I just, I had a problem with authority, I think, and because I was living this life where, you know, I was around all these superstars and you know Rasmataz I looked at the teachers and thought who are you? Yeah. I know that and but that actually discussed me in it I know we laugh about but as a kid that's I look at that kid now and think oh you're horrible you know like I was flash I was you know

and I had a good heart but I just had a problem with being cold what to do by someone that I didn't, you know, in my mind, who are there? You're a teacher like what have you? You haven't won five world championships. Yeah, but that's pretty. And it's like, I struggled with that and then I got, I kind of got kicked out after my GCC's and I went to a college in Rompherd called Haverin College, which was pretty shit really, but it was like everyone was bunking off. Like you imagine going from like a top private school to just basically this B-tech college like

on the borders of East London and no one really wanted to do any work and everyone was just bunking off and after a while I thought to myself you don't even get told off. Do you know what it's like I said to the teacher one that I said, what happens if you don't show up? And you went where it's up to you and it? And you probably won't get a job and, you know, you won't learn and there's nothing I can do about it.

And that sort of motivated me. I end up getting that as well. I think sometimes you've got to be careful with just being an authoritarian all the time and telling people off and you know constantly saying no this is wrong, this is wrong, do this, do that. Because in the end it got worse and worse for me. But when no one was telling me off and just trying to say look, it's down to you to you to you to, it's down to you. It's a fine line, I think. So, you know, like I said, my kids, I want them to do well academically and I want them to love their sport, but I want them tech culture of mobile phones and you know and it worries a life at me really I mean. So do you

also have they got mobile phones? Social media and stuff? Yeah they have and I mean tick-toc been the bane of my life for the lockdown and at least tick-to-talk sort of semi-creative yeah do you know but I do find it you know mean, we're all guilty of it, aren't we? Because even, you know, me and my mrs will sit there. Sometimes I'll be laying on the bed watching a bit of TV. I'm on my phone, she's on her phone. I'm thinking, how do you expect the kids to do anything differently, especially when they're programmed that way in this new society. But we try, I was speaking, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was, I was speaking, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking, I was speaking thin, I was speaking thin, I'm speaking thin, I'm speaking thin, I'm speaking the thin, I'm speaking, I'm speaking the the the thin, I'm speaking, I was speaking the the the the thin, I was speaking to my mate the other day and he's like, you know, I don't let them have their phones and they can have them for 10 minutes on a Friday. And that's it and I'm like, how'd you do that? You know, I'm so I'm saying it's so easy isn't it to take the phone.

You know, if they're not being good, the phone is always a great thing to remove from them. Yeah. We know they're obsessed with them. So you remove the phone, but me and my Mrs will always argue because it's when you give it back. You know, because it's like they'll be sure, oh, we only give them back. It's so easy, isn't it? Just to get that bit of peace and quiet to go, oh, go on then, there's the on the phone or is there any like sort of rules of social media? Is it private accounts? My mrs. monitors their social media like a hulk. You know I'm not? I'm glad to monitor my social media like a hulk. But you know, I think that if you expose someone to something at a younger age and educate them about it, I'll be a lot more confident that they'll be able to deal with that, not not, not, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, th.. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thr, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thoooooooooo, thrown, than be able to deal with that, not just now, but in the next few years as well. I don't agree with sort of keeping this away from them and saying, no, you're not having

a phone and you're not to go on social media and because when you get there, when you finally get that chance at, I don't know, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15. One, you're going to be wet behind their their their their their their their their, 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, their, and, and, their, their, and, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, th. And, th. And, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, the, their, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th to, to, to, to, to, to too. too. too. too. th too. th th th th th th th th th th. th. not really going to understand what's right and wrong. So again, there's a fine line, it seems like there's a lot of fine lines on parenting between what to do. I don't mind them having social media, private accounts, etc., etc. and the missus, and no one can follow them unless the missus says, oh, you'll approve it or whatever it is, but as long as they understand, I think the schools do a good job job 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, thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-up, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I'm, I'm thin, I'm thin, thin, th, thin, th, thin, th, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, I think the schools do a good job these days in educating that, you know, because I think if I were, if I were grown up with social media, it would have been like the Wild West, you know. Yeah, well, if so someone has a follow request, will it have to go through their mom to approve it? Yes. Be a lot more scary if it had to go through you. I would never follow my mate if Eddie Hearned if to have to have to have to have to have the to have to have to have the to follow. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the thi. thi. the thi. the their their their their their thoe. that. 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 their their their their their their their thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I will will.ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. thea. thea. the it. She'd like on Instagram and be like zero followers. Yeah.

It was funny because when I did the KSI Logan Paul fight, people were going up to school going, oh my God, oh my God, your dad knows KSI and Logan Paul and she's like, she didn't even know they were because she's a bit younger than that, you know. Yeah, I think they're two guys. they've they're like, th. th. th. th. thi thi they're thi thi thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, th.. That's, th. That's, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, th. Well, 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, thi. It's, thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. W. It's th guys you don't, oh my god. So I've got those guys to do a little message for her, you know, on her TikTok. And it's become basically like a legend at the school. You know, so that was nice. That was nice. All the other superstars you've got like Anthony Joshua and so not interested. Yeah, Yeah, not interested. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that your daughters all work in the family firm or would you rather them do their own thing? When I left college, I was so hell-bent on not working for my dad because at school everyone

would say to me, well you're only going to go and work for your dad anyway, you ain't got worry. You know, so I spent sort of four years out in, I was a sports agent and working in a sports management company because I knew that I would always end up in the family, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thiolomea, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, togoguuu.e, toguu.e, thi, toguui, thi, thi, thi, thi, that I would always end up in the family business. That's what he wanted. You know, he geared me and he educated me to try and you know, take over from him. That's what he always dreamt that I'd do. So, you know, I think, but my kids, I don't really, I don't know, I'd like to see what they could achieve on on their own. You know, I said in their their their their their their th. th. I'd like th. I'd like thi thi thi. I'd like thi. I'd like thi. I'd like thi. I'd like like to to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see to see, to see, to to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, to see, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, theeat, the. the. the achieve on their own. You know, I've said in the book that one of my, I can't call it a regret, but in a weird world, I'd like to have seen what I could have achieved without being Barry Hanson, you know?

Yeah. I've done well, but it would have been quite exciting to see what I could have done from nothing, you know, but you have to play the hand they've been dealt is, you know, they can go and forge your career in anything they want to do. Do I want them being involved in sports management and events? Probably not, but if that's where their passion lied, and if they felt they had a responsibility to the family to, you know, to continue that legacy,

then I'd more than support them. But one of my favorite bit of Eddie Barryhern parenting is to prove that you were like should be an heir. Did he did you have a fight? Is that right? Yeah so I was again I was quite boisterous growing up like I had a couple of amateur fights I was terrible but I thought I could be a world champion because I knew NAS you know so quickly realized it didn't play out like that but But I would come home sometimes and, you know, I mean, getting trouble when I was younger. But I was like I said, I was quite lary.

And if I had a fight, you know, on a playground or something, I would come back to my dad and say, yeah, dad, yeah, you know, oh, this bloke, come up to me, and he would, too, the too, toe, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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 to, I........................... I, to, t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t try, t t t t t t try, t try, t try, today, try, today, t the wall and say, you think you're tough. You think, you know, and I'd be like, Jesus. And he always said to me that when I get, when you get to 18, me and you are going to have a spa and I'm going to think you about being a real man because you're a lary little silver spoon kid and you need a pasting. So then I got to 16 and I was like 6 foot 2 and probably like 14 stone and he was like, do you know what I think we should bring it forward? I basically said, oh yeah we'll do that.

So we went down the Rompher gym, we got gloved up and I didn't really know what he was going to do to be honest with you. I thought, you know, I thought back to those times playing cricket or playing table tennis where he never let me win, but this is different, this is boxing, this is actually quite harmful. So when the belt went and he ran out, I just saw him, his teeth were like gritted and he just sort of unloaded all these shots and I big right hand hit me right on the nose and I was just slowly spaced like this so I sort of covered up and then got through it around in the second round I ate him twice to the body and he went down and then he got up and then I ate him to the body again and he didn't get up and I was felt quite bad for him because I thought that's a bit embarrassing isn't it? He got up and he was like, he was so happy. Honestly, he got up and he was like,

son, you made me so proud to the, I'm like, Dad, you're right. He's like, no, don't worry about me. That was brilliant. Because like he said, that was his, that was his sort of way of making sure I was all right, you know, not the traditional parenting that we, but that was just where he's from, the way he was born and raised was that, look, if you wanna, I wanna make sure you're made a tough stuff. So that's what we did. And it was in the paper the next day, so at school, like it's literally,

her son, chaos him in Jim War, or something like that. It was like going out there and doing out then, and doing that happy. My son yesterday he knocked me out he's only 16 but it was great. It's difficult to sort of understand but that's it's a strange mentality. Because like you say you never sort of let you win and would go out your full pelt if you're playing cricket and stuff but did that was that balanced with though he was like obviously what he wanted you to work hard and succeed but then he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th th th th was like th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho tho 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. th, was that balanced with though? He was like, obviously what he wanted you to work hard and succeed, but then he was like really proud of you and did it?

Was he really encouraging when you did hit the sort of marks that he wanted you to hit? Or is he always, that's not good enough, keep going? What was his approach? It's all, it was always the winning. you me, go and have a great game today son, you know, and don't worry how you get on, but as long as you do your best. I mean, he does, you know, that is his mantra, you know, that you should always just do your best at everything you do,

but if you don't win, then you've wasted your time. I mean,'s how that's how I was brought up. So you know it was just a case of how many runs you get today? Five. Oh, useless. You know, it doesn't mean he wouldn't encourage me. Yeah. But that's a fail. You failed. And that's the truth. That's life. There's nothing wrong with keeping it simplistic and realistic about life. If you don't achieve, you failed. As long as you do you, that's the reality of what we got to teach the kids. But you can't just tell them that, oh, as long as you do your best, you've won, because you haven't. You know, life is about winning. You have to do your best at all times. But the reality is, is if you don't hit the results. the result whether it's cricket, it's cricket, it's cricket, it's cricket, it's cricket, you failed. So when you promoted Anthony Joshua Klichko, Wembley Stadium and like 90,000 people sold out when we said a huge box office event, would that been enough for him? Would he pat you

on the back and go well done you've won that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean we're at a stage now where you know he he lets me get on with everything you know I think when I moved into boxing ten years ago he he left to to to to to to to to to to to th. to th. to th. th. to to the to to to th. th. th. th. to to to th. to the to to to to to the to the the their the the the their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. I's. th. th. thee. toe. th. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. into boxing 10 years ago, he left boxing because it is a terrible business. It's loads of aggravation. And he sort of said to me at a time, you're on your own on this, you know, I'll support you, you go for it, but I don't want anything to do with it. But now, because of the success, you know, it's more about understanding that we're in a good place. And, thap, thagagh. And, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin, you, you, thin, thin, you, thin, you, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, you, thin, you're thi, thi, that, 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 to th. And, to to to to to to to to th. And, to to th. And, th. And, th. And, the, the, the, the, the, the, thr. thrown, thrown, thrown, thr-a, the, thr-a. thrown, the, thrown, thr-a, thrown, thrown, thr place and I know what I'm doing. So, and again, same kind of thing where he'll say to people, well, he's much better than me. You know, and it's kind of like that back to that gym story, where he's like, yeah, he knocked me out. You know, he's like, he's a different level promoter to I was, you know, that's something I might struggle with saying, you know, you know, you know, that that's a that's, you know, you know, you know, that's, that's, you that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're, you're, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thi. thi, thi, thi, you're, th.a. they. th. th. threat, you're, th th threat, th threat, th that's, that's, thi, later period in life. But I think, you know, he's, he will often say, you know, you're doing amazing, but it always say to me, don't get carried away.

Because I'll come in, I'll say, well, I've done this, and you know, we've had this year, and this event, 90,000 here and this is going, you're doing great, you're doing great, you're doing great, don't get carried away. Can you see that Hearn sort of energy in your daughters where you can sort of think, oh, I think this could totally, you know, because that sort of energy and commitment can be used for good or bad, can't it really, if it was channeled in the right well?

I think the thing is, everyone thinks their son for the Sunday League football and thinks he's going to be the next Rinaldo, you know, or the dad who takes the daughter to the driving range and thinks she's going to play on the LPGA tour. And I look at my kids and think, wow, you know, you're a great singer, you can dance, you can play the piano, and you're going, they you're going, they they they, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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, ta, their, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, their, their, their, their, their, their, the reality is that at this age, you know, I don't think you ever know what you really want to do. I think it's important to have a wide activation level of try in all these different genres of activities to see what you're good at. That's why I encourage my kids to play every single sport. That's probably what makes me the most happy is when I see them playing hockey or netball or horse riding or doing gymnastics. I love to see that because I think we can

learn so much from sport, you know, and when you see them come off of the hockey match and they all put their sticks up and they go through it and they shake everybody's hands, you know, and they show respect and someone might have a bad game and you see one of them say don't their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I I I I I I I........ I, their, their, their, their, their, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, togu. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomorrow, thea, their arm around and say, don't worry, you know, we've got a game next Wednesday. Sport can teach you so much about life and I think about the qualities of life and I think, you know, that's always something as a family with, you know, I was pushed into every sport as a kid and I loved it, you know, my sister the same and that's what I want to try and try and try and try... th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, 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. the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, the, their, the. Ssoa, tha. Sothe, thau. Sothe, thau. Sothe, thau. Sa, thau. Strue. Strue, thauuu. Sport thau. Sport can't t problem if they wanted to start boxing but the great thing about boxing is and this is what when I started boxing at about 13 I was like I say a silver spoon spoon kid going down to a club full of rough kids rough kids from completely different backgrounds and mine and they bash me up right so but it

it teaches you discipline, it teaches you respect, it teaches you a regimental lifestyle and taking instructions, you know, and I think that's why I feel like boxing can play such a big role in the community because of what it can do in people's lives. And what boxing can do, can be replicated in other sports as well. I think some people are a bit wary of like sending their kids to their boxing So I think they might get hurt or they think they'll just become sort of aggressive and stuff like that But actually I think and you know better than me that the rally is it's great discipline And it stops a lot of kids from being getting into trouble and life. I mean every great fighter. has a story about how they were arrested or in prison or in a gang or going nowhere.

Boxing saves lives, but it's also very, very dangerous at the elite level. But I would encourage all parents to take their girls, daughters or sons to a local boxing club. You don't have to get in there and become a fighter, but it's the training, it's the discipline, you know, it's the respect. These are the things that are missing ths ths ths ths ths ths thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho thi tho thi thi tho tho tho tho tho thi tho thi thi tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the, the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho the tho the tho the. to get in there and become a fighter, but it's the training, it's the discipline, you know, it's the respect. These are the things that are missing from kids these days. And I think that I would love to see the government invest more into the local communities to make sure if you walk into a boxing gym, a local amateur gym, look at their today to if they weren't in there. I mean, you don't go look at the fairways, you know, but they don't get in trouble. You know, those kids in that gym don't get in trouble.

They don't get in trouble on the street. They don't fight on the street. You know, I'm not saying they're all going to go on and be academics. and people like that about how boxing changed and saved his life, not just in terms of providing a living, but what it did for his mentality of, you know, of living and wanting to improve and wanting to live right and they're the right kind of life. I think, but you know, it's not just boxing. Sport is so important and I think if you're a parent, now not every kid is sporty, right, but I still think you have to encourage them to just do as asks asks as. as. as. as as as the the the their their their thi as their their their their thi thi their thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, to just thi, thi, to just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thri, thri.a.a.a.a. to to toe.a. toeat, to to to to to to to to thi, thi, thi right, but I still think you have to encourage them to just do as many disciplines as they can. I think it's so good for them. When your daughters get 16, are you going to suggest they spa your wife? No, I don't know. I'll

don't know. I think they'll be sparring me.

We also give the guest an opportunity, Eddie, on this podcast.

Is there something you would like to mention that you'd like to sort of be adjusted on here that if your wife did listen, she may pick up on it? Or as a man who's already in isolation as she's homeschooling? You might want to duck out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out duck out this question. Was there something you to argue over a bit or something you disagree? Yeah, it's just that punishment and stick into that punishment, right? So we always argue, I go, if you don't do that, we're not going on holiday. And she goes, well, we are going on holiday. I go, well, but we're not if you don't do it.

And my wife says, what's the point in saying that? Obviously we're going on holiday. I said, yeah, I suppose. Right, you do that again, you are not having your friend round. She goes, well, but you will let them have the macket. And this goes on and on and on. The one thing is the phone. I always say to us, I said, phone start arguments, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, tho, tho, tho, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, thi, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. that, you. th. th. that, you. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thrown. that, you're, tho, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that,there's a row she's moody she moans, you know, or something, I don't know, she watches something on YouTube that she doesn't like. I said, this these phones are the root of all evil. So we have to accept that we're not going to get rid of them, but let's just limit them. But the key for me is when I have a blazing round, I say,

right, that's it, I've got the phones, right? And I'll get the phones and I hide them in the cupboard, right? And then I go, I'm going to work and my wife goes, where's the phones? Right? Because we know she where they are. I go, no, I'm taking them to work with me. And I, on occasions, just got in the car and drove off with all the phones. Do you know what I mean? And it's just like, bring the phones back.

I need them as bait. Do you know, if you tomorrow or the next day. Or when you deserve them. You get back when you deserve it. But how easy is you guys, you know, when you're having dinner and you're on holiday? And every night, especially during lockdown and how things are at the moment, I've been trying to get home for six o'clock. We all sit down, we have a family dinner.

I think that's great, great, great thing thing thing thing thing thing thing great thing great thing great thing great thing great thing th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their th th th their th their thi thi their thi their their their their their their their their th their their th th their th th their their th their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their their their the their their their the their their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the I actually agree, but this does stay quite nice, so just give me another 20 minutes. I mean, also as well, they're not far away from being teenage and start going out and stuff like that, where it just goes up another level. Well, how old are yours? I'm not only four, five and three, so. I'm all right. I think you're all right at that moment. No, I think that's going to get when it gets really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really th going th gets really really really really really really really that's really th th th th th thi thi to to to to to to to to get thi thi.

that's when I'm basically just going to leave full-time. The thought of hiding a 14-year-old girl's phone. I mean, I'm just hoping there's another virus out there that maybe can put you away for a month. Something like that, you know, maybe we could sort of extend the isolation period, but I think it is difficult, but it just comes down to in the end. You know, for the way I've been brought up, his family is absolutely everything, everything. So just want him to be happy. I want them to be happy. I want them to be motivated and I want them to have purpose in their life. You know, I don't want them to be one of those people that don't, I think, purpose and passion, I feel sorry for people that don't have that in th........ I th. I th. I th. I thi. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I to be to be to be to be to be thi.

You know, because I think if you wake up every, I couldn't imagine waking up every day, not excited or buzzing about what I do, you know, and how many people don't get that opportunity.

You're stuck in a bedroom for two weeks. Yeah, but I'm still motivated. I'm still up every day thinking about what we're gonna do, next show, the next fight to make or next project we're gonna gonna.. on. And I just think so many people go through life, if you don't have a passion for what you do, it's a waste. You know, and you just got to try and be the best version of yourself you can be. But that comes from having the passion and the drive to have that kind of relentless spirit to just keep on going and love what you do.

And that's what I want them them their their their their their their their they they they they they they they they want them to have. You know, I don't care what they do. Don't have to work for me, work in a bank, whatever. Work with a charity, but as long as they get up every day with that passion and a fire in their belly and enjoy life, yeah. I just want them to enjoy life, that's the key. But I also can, you know, feel good about myself. I want to make my family proud, but I want to make sure that my kids can have a great upbringing. You know, I want to send them to the best school.

Yeah, I want to make sure, you know what, if she plays tennis or she play, I want to get out of the top tennis racket, you know, I want to make sure that I can't do thatthings that I should be doing and I should be rewarded for, but at the same time it's not just like have that, have that, have that, have that, you know, but it's difficult to, I want to, I want to, and that's something that I feel like, as a family, we've built the right, to do, but you just got to make sure they're good kids and they understand they're in a very good position but that position has only come through hard work and if they don't work hard then it won't continue and you know if they can be built of the same stuff as me and my old man then they'll be all right and we'll keep that mentality and I think I like I love the working-class mentality you know, it's just when things are broken,

that's how you fix it. And when things are tough, that's how you get out of tough spots. When things are going well, that's how you maintain the humility to carry on. You know, the minute that you lose toub. The minute that I think that you'll start having problems. I what what what what what what the book called? Where can people get it? It's called Relentless. Yeah, it's called Relentless, 12 Rounds and Success.

And it's like, sort of, a third is like an autobiography, just talking about my upbringing. And then the rest of the book is talking about what I've learned so far in business. And what I think it takes, quite a lot of sort of motivation, mindset, work ethic, and then, and the the the the, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, sort, and thi, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, and thi, sort, sort, sort sort sort sort, and thi, sort sort sort of thi, thi.

And, a thirt of the key sort of business skills of selling and negotiating and and bouncing back and you know competition and to be honest I never when they approached me about it I thought they were having a laugh but when when they know you know this no context hernes page that sort of emerged from yeah they were like we want you to write a business book and I thought you know what I think this is a good time to do a business book, because I can't just be remembered as a meme.

Yeah. So, I'd rather just have a bit of credibility. Yeah. You know, I used to be on a tube or a train going into Liverpool Street. And people would go to me, oh, Eddie, love the box the box the box the box the box the box the box'm on there and they're going, oh it's you do that one way you go, oh go on then. You know, it's really what he's come down to. And even my kids are going, dad you're all over Tick Tock.

I'm not really. What's that? You know, you can't take yourself too seriously. That's a key in life. Oh brilliant. Thanks, you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you can't you can't you can't you can't you can't to to to to that th that tak to to to to to to to to to to that. that's that's that's that. that. that that. that that that. that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th. th that that that that that that. that that that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's that., then I'm happy.

I almost said, locking, that'd be a much better time. Yeah, would be. Eddie Hearn there. Yeah, I love him. theyrown, theymea's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, that's, th. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's. th. that's. th. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. that. that. that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that you're obsessed with the fight between Barry and Eddie Hearn. I just find it absolutely fascinating. I just find it a shame they didn't put it on pay-per-view Rob. I mean, I mean, would there be a market for a man fighting a child on, on paperview? Yeah, on the dark web there might be.

I'm sure you can find it. There's been moments when I've been working at 3 a.m. where I've thought about a man fighting a child, yeah. I think he would do, I say child, he was 16 and about 6 at 3 and 14 stone probably but um. Well Eddie Hearn, thank you very much. He was so brilliant. You know, I think we all fancy him don don't we? Robbie's such a good-looking look like... Yeah, the problem is six at five, he's good-looking, he's a multi-millionaire, and he's charismatic and funny. So thank you to Eddie. Get Well Soon, Barry.

It was an absolute pleasure. We'll be back on Friday, we'll see you later. See you, bye.
