and member terms apply hello I'm Josh Whitakam welcome to lock down welcome to lockdown the show in which Rob and I to be a parent during lockdown which I would say can be a little tricky. So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation. And to make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills. Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping. Or hopefully not. And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown parenting woe. Because let's be honest none of us know what we're doing. Hello and welcome to lockdown parent in hell with...

Can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett. And Josh Widdickum. What is Josh Widdickin? That is Jin who is two and a half years old. Lovely. And the reason I have chosen Jin Rob is I'm in the same position as Jin's parents Simon and Christina. All right. So I'll read their email. The voice note is brought to you by Jin, G-J-I-N,

pronounced Jin, who is two and a half years old and halfway through a two-week isolation period after someone tested positive at Nursetory. Oh, oh no, are you in isolation? Yes, well I'm not, but my daughter is, but I didn't have that. So, okay, right, you've dropped that on me out of nowhere, Josh. Okay, so lovely intro. I thought it was better, I thought it was funnier to not tell you until on the podcast. So, right, okay, so, okay, so, oh, no, sorry. I shouldn't laugh. Well, obviously, one of the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first obviously one of the first things I thought was this is great podcast content.

Okay. So what's happened? Shall I tell you what's happened? So her carer at nursery has tested positive? Right. And so the whole class has been dismissed for two weeks. So two weeks indoors no nursery? Yeah, my lord. How is the carer? Should we ask you okay? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think she's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th so so so. so. so. so. so. so. so. so. so. so. th's so. so. so. so. so what's so what's so what's so. What's so. What's so. What's so. What's so. What's so's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th's th's th's th. What's th. What's th. th. th. What's th's th. th. th's th. th. th. th's th. th. the's the's the's the. the. tho's tho. tho. that's that's that's tho. that's that's that's that's that's tho's Oh my lord. How is the carer? Should we ask? Yeah, I think she's fine. What's quite funny is on one of the days, just before the carer tested positive, she covered very briefly the lower class and only one child from that came into contact with her, and that was Tom Crane, my friend's child, so his child has had to isolate as well, even though... When you say lower class, the younger kids, not like, they're all out doing chimney sweeping and stuff.

No, no, no, exactly. Yeah. Right, they don't pay, they don't pay as much. It's that, they're doing the economy nursery. Okay. Okay, so, so, they're they're they're they're they're they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. T they're. They're. They're they're they're they're they're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. 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 doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. They're doing. going? It's fine. It's actually been fine. Oh right, okay. It's easier because you can go. Do you know what I mean? Because you're allowed out, aren't you?

So at least you can, because there's two of you can like takes turns of going out. I think taking turns is the key thing. Do you know what I mean? to like the shelves in a Sainsbree. You need people in the day that a customer facing that can stack the shelves and talk to people but also you need the sort of the night hours that come in for a 12-hour shift through the night that's what you need in it? Exactly. A child is basically a supermarket. I mean it's not ideal. At least it's like now though not over Christmas. I think that's a huge positive. At the moment, it feels a bit like getting being told you've got isolated or having a protesting positive. It's almost like, you know when footballers try and get sent off just before a New Year's

Eve break so they get Christmas off? It's like that. You want to isolate now, not on the 20th. Yeah, of course. Of course. What's quite heartbreaking is just the weekends is weekends weekend but I'm not going to lie to you, the weekends around where I live are absolutely terrible anyway because it's absolutely round with people. What, well, like the park? Yeah, but Victoria Park, it's like going to Glastonbury,

the weekends. Do you know what? It's harder though because she obviously's not in nursery during the week, but I find now that my girls are like in nursery three days a week and proper school, five days a week, the weekends, we just, especially on Saturday, we just love doing nothing and having a really lazy day. So, yeah, I don't, I don't think I'm going to be feeling the benefit of loving, doing nothing at home over the next week, Rob. I think that's good, I' that's, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, and I'll, and, their, their, and, their, their, and pra, their, and pra, their, their, their, their, and proper, their, and proper, and proper, and proper, and pr. And, their, and, and, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thru. thrue, their, throoooooooooo where it really bites. Yeah. So we've basically done a week. Yeah. So it's kind of, I just couldn't quite believe it happened. Do you know what I mean? And you know when something happens and you're like,

oh, there's literally nothing I can do about this? Well, you almost definitely had COVID. to the first week of lockdown. Yeah. to almost almost almost. thuuuuuuuuuuu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. to just. to just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. to just. to just just just, I just, I just, I just. to just. to just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just just, I just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to just. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. to to too. too. too. tooan. tooan't tooan't too. tooan't too. too. tooo. to to to to thea. thea. taste. It's almost feel like you've been done twice now. I know it's very unfair Rob. It's very unfair. And also I don't get because if they test negative, you've still got to stay in haven't you? Isn't that right or not? Yeah. I don't know. The rules are insane. Is someone someone tried to explain risk to me? Yes, it is very similar to that. Only risk is the one thing thing th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the one thing that lasts longer than lockdown. The only thing to outlive Corona. It's the thing about is we've attempted to change a name of this podcast and it never leaves us.

There's always something happening to do with it. With the Harry on calling it lockdown until they finish the public inquiry. Yeah. That'll be the day that we change your name is when the public inquiry has been done. So I yeah, it's quite a weird situation obviously. What would your attitude be to try and to explain it to a three-year-old? Oh my God, I mean. It's absolutely an insane thing to try. Because I don't understand it as an adult. Because what if she's not across the tears system.

Yeah, but what if she says to you, okay daddy, but I've tested negative on the test. Why do I have to stay in? Yeah. You'd go, I've got nothing there. Van Tam, give us a football analogy. Nothing over it. She needs to be so about hooves coming over a hill. She's three, she don't get it. I mean, have you explained it to her? No, she's never asked to go to the park before, but obviously that's essentially what she started asking, which you're like, you've got to be kidding me, haven't

you? We've spent our life trying to get you to go to the park. And now the moment you can't go to the park park park park park, the park, the park, the park, the park, the park, the park, thapapapapapapapapap park, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th, th. th.

She's to's too, tho, the the think there's going to either be like this park situation, because everyone in the country, all they do at the weekend is going for a walk through the woods, right? That is it, a walk for a park? Yeah. Like, do you reckon that it's going to breed a generation of outdoorsy park-loving kids? Or people that are just desperate to live in big cities and be like, I hate this walk ever again? I thank, thak, thak, than than than than than than, I than, I than, I than, that is that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the that, that, that, that, is thi, is thi, is tho, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, is the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, the wa, their, their, their, their, their, that, that, thr. We thr. We' thr-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, tho, thr ever again. I think because I obviously grew up in the countryside and I now live in the city and I just think you know it's wasted on you as a kid isn't it like yeah if anything you go you want what you don't have so I think that's why I ended up you know wanting to live in the city but I

I think after 2020 I'd happily never go in a fucking park again in my life. Brick just bulldoze it, fuck it. Green, the green, the green, the green, the green, the the the the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, tho-I thirty, I's, I's, I'm thirty, I'll tho, I'll to to to to to to to to to tho, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I's, 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's, I I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's I'm th, I'm th, I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm thin, I'm tho'' tho' tho'-I'm just just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, Ize it, fuck it, greenbelt, see you later, build something. One of the main reasons we moved where we live is because it's got such a nice park near it. And actually, you get very bored of parks very quickly. However big they are, you seem to always just be doing the same bits. I actually, I've actually started hating my park, my nearest park, a bit like, you know when you just decide to hate someone on the apprentice?

And you just feel I can't stand them, I just hate it. I'll go, oh yeah. And I found, I was went for a walk yesterday and I found myself going, oh, boggy here again is it? Yeah? A big cuddle again here, is it? I'll have to do around the edge and I'll slip in again, will I? Like it's some sort of, I'm like a scorned lover with that part. I was a bit sad this week, Josh, to be honest with you.

I found a bit sad because it was my daughter's nativity and reception. And we couldn't go and see it. So then you watch it on Zoom or something? Well, they've recorded it. They're going to put it on like a YouTube link. Paperview though, isn't it? PPP, yeah, all day long. Eddie Hearn's promoting it. 889 I've got to pay. But I felt a bit sad because that is that is one of those moments you can never recapture

or see again. You know, that is so, it's not like a holiday, where you can go on holiday again, but it is such a seminal, a sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem sem...... th. th. to th. th. to to to th. to to th. to to to to to to be such, to be such, to be, I's to be, I was a bit sad really but I got over it but I was like I'm gonna lean into this I'm gonna allow myself to feel a bit sad because I think you end up being more mental if you go I'm fine yeah I just go for a lovely walk again and not watch my daughter in a nativity because that's right yeah yeah yeah but there's something weird isn't it about the thought of them performing a nativity to an empty room. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean my performer side saying, come on, you know, you got you you need the buzz off the crowd. Do you know?

I just think a nativity is a much about the audience as it is about the performance really, isn't it? How is a five-year-old when I know what the difference is between a rehearsal and the real performance? Exactly. But I think they did it to other, I think, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th is, th is, thi, thi, need, need, need, need, thi, need, need, need, their, need, need, to, need, to, need, to, to, to to to to to to to their, to their, their, need, their, need, need, their, their, the other year groups. Oh, I see. So I think it was like year one were like sat distant from, I don't really understand how the bubbles were, but obviously they're all in a bubble, the class. I think they just sat two meters away from them while they performed or whatever is. I think that's what they did.

But you want to hear,that she had three lines. Yeah, which she was very happy about and I said, did you like it? And I said, did you like it? She said, did you like it? I loved it. It was to thin. I thought, okay, that's good. I went, what did you what think you like? She would I think like the waiting. I think what? She had the waiting. It was so boring. I went, what was boring? Waiting for the other people to speak. Oh, dear. So I think she's definitely mine.

Yeah. Oh my word. What a chip of the old block. I know, but because you want to be like, you know, you, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, the, the old block. I know but because you want to be like well no you know you must be giving and you know be a team player an event like that but then part of me's going yeah it is just spin them all off go one woman show more money less assel less organization you don't have a WhatsApp group just turn up bang your free lines out and go home. Exactly she's she's the next feedback. I've got to try my best to not let my personality or thought protest impact my daughter's development. Yeah, I think that's a very dangerous situation.

Because ultimately everything I think is the opposite of what they're told in school. So I sort of have to try and remove myself from that conversation. How's your phonics going? Not great. She's now started, when I've written anything down on a scrap of paper a phone number or someone's th. How, th. How, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, I's, I' thi, I' thi, 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, thoom. thoom. th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. I's, th. 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's, I'm, I'm, I'm thin. And, I'm thin. And, thin. And, th. And, thin. Yeah, thin. th. thin. th. thoooooooo. Yeah, I'm a th. Yeah, I'm a down, not on a scrap of paper like a phone number or someone's name when I've been speaking to someone with the phone for some boring based query, she will show me it and says, Daddy, you've done that wrong because they've been taught the correct way to do like sevens and like, and they're learning to write but how it can be joined up if you want it to be joined up, right? Oh my word. So I'm like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohto do them separately, but joined up letter so that can join it up eventually. But I mean, also as well, some parents are obsessed with how well their kids can write. I'll be honest, I couldn't give

two shiny shit. I've not written anything down on paper in about six years. It's bought, it's pointless. It's all typicin. to just point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. their. th. th. th. th. their.

It gives you shit, mate? No one, it's all emails. So have you got, gonna get her typing early doors? Well, yeah, I mean, I, do you know what? I don't know if it's bad, but I really don't care about her education to a point. I just sort of think, look, I just sort of think, you know what, I find it, I find it a refreshing outlook. And actually, I think it's a much more enjoyable way for the child to live. If you were going, I'm really concerned about the fact that her peas aren't.

Yeah, but some people are like that, Josh. I don't care. But, you know, as long as they're happy and they saying that to try and look like a new age, a big person, but ultimately, if you're a good person, I don't think anyone's going to fall for that, Rob. If you're a good person and you're happy and you're try hard, that's all you can do. I'd work the bollows to get d'a'e'e'li'a'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'n'n'n'n'n'e'e'e'n'n'n'n'n'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'e'er'e'er, 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 th. th. th'e'e'e'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n't'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'rrr-'r-'r-'r-'r Do you take, you're taking the fact that your sevens aren't good enough badly, aren't your Rob? Yeah, look, I told her when I don't give a shit about what my seven's look like, right? Yeah, sometimes I put the little line through it, that's how I do it, all that's how I do it, all right? Back, back... Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back. Back.

I. I. feels naughty for no reason. I love a line for a seven yes please. I've got another story about my other kid the youngest she's only what they're three next week and she was talking to the

teachers and they were saying what how old is everyone and they were in I'm I'm two and then another kid, she's three and then the teacher said, how old do you think I am? And then my taught was said, I don't know, I haven't got a hundred fingers to count. She's such a slam, isn't it? The real burn. If she did have a hundred fingers, the age of the teach would be the least of a worry. Oh, that what a career she could have just wander around counting out with her fingers. That could be an edibre show, that. There's a place that on the last leg. I tell you that for the front. Get her on. Hundred fingers.

Alex Brooke will be furious. Look how many. Look how many she's got any tips on having their kid being locked down for 14 days, I mean the thing is by the next one I'll be out of it so it'll be fine. I've got a great mood lifter I've been working on. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, Josh, and you know when they're kicking off a bit at bath and it's a bit rowy for no reason, yeah? What I do is I put them in the bath with their socks on, right? And pretend I've done it by accident and they'll go, Daddy, my socks are like, oh no, silly

daddy, what have I done? And they absolutely love it. That's a good one. Being put in the bath with socks on and they've got wet socks. They're just like, they're just like, I'm gonna try tonight. I'm gonna try tonight and it's gonna backfire massively. What about? It's how you play it. You've got to be like, oh, because basically, you've got to sell it, have you? You've got to sell it low status, because all kids really want is to be listened to and feel important, isn't it? If you're 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 that if you that if you that if you that if you're that if you're in that if you're in that if you're in that if you're in that if you're in that that if you're in that if you're in 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 if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that if that that that that that that 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'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 yeah, your socks are on. Sorry, I'm about that. That's not gonna work, is it? Sorry, you're sorry, you're sorry. But you've got to be like, oh no, silly,

daddy, what have I done? And then you've got two wet socks. It's basically like prop work in standard. I've got two wet socks. slap them, put them on the radiator, that, so like, you know, maybe that, try that tonight if it's getting a bit tense. I still think bath time is the most overrated bit of parenting. Oh, massively it is. I hate it, because basically when they're young, you're constantly worried about something awful happening, and then when they're older, they don't listen to you and stand up and splash. And then, and then, and then, then, then, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I still, I still, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's thi, I's their, I, I's, I, I, I, I's, I I I I I's, I I's, I's, I I I I I I 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, I'm, I'm th. thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm tot, I'm tot, I'm thi.. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I'm thi, I'm th just say that because they hate their job. Do you know what I mean? Oh, it's just a way to get out. So I've got to go home for a half-time.

Basically, look, good look, guys. I'm not lazy at work. I'm just a really good dad. See you soon, yeah? Peace. Hey, now in the advent of face-train.

A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. Rob. Yes, Josh. We've got some trampoline input. Oh, also as well. I was about to say that to you. I've had, we have been inundated of trampiline advice on Instagram as well. Give me, give me some of yours. I've got three emails on trampolines. I've got four. Okay, well do you want to start with this one? This is from Laura. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob.

Well, no, why don't I start with this one? This is from Laura? Rob. No. No. Yeah, you should just fill in listeners, sorry on what the same. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I've basically this is very weird. This trampolini. If you're listening with kids, if you're listening with the car or wherever they are in the kitchen, if you're listening with kids, we are now talking about Christmas, okay?

So I'd advise you to switch it off and listen when it's just adults there, okay? Yeah, so Rob's buying some pretty racy presents for his wife. Yeah, yeah, the sex trampoline is coming her way. Yeah, so guys, so lose stocking, it's basically five Dildoes. Anyway, yeah, so basically, I've heard Whisper that Father Christmas may be delivering a trampoline for my children this year. However, it won't be assembled because the elves are pretty busy. So it may be... They're not listening, Rob. They're not listening. Okay, basically I brought my trampoline and I've got to put it up. You've just done the Dildildo dildildildildildil- Dildil- Dildil- Dildil- You've the dildil- You've the dildo dildo dildo dildo- You've thil- You've thi d' d' d' d' d' d' thi- You've thi- You're thi------o-o----o-o--o-o-o-o-o-o-so. thi-so. thi-so. thi-so. th. thi-so. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I was gonna put it. You've just done the Dildo bit I think it's too late now the horse and supported. Okay anyway so we get we've got a trampoline is it's currently been stored at the grandparents house because it's too big to be put

anywhere and it's not built the plan the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to put this trampoline together and after saying that we're putting this trampoline up Christmas Eve in the evening we've had a deluge of sort of anti-that schedule. Well people are you know they're caring. So Laura Cannon, Rob, no, you can't assemble a trampoline for the first time in the dark on your own on Christmas Eve. Oh no. The first time we built one it took about three hours with two of us and we nearly got divorced. Top tip, the bendy hook tool which comes with it is vital to get the springing springs in place and not optional. Do not leave it in the packaging and be unable to find it. Oh. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Work gloves?

I haven't got work gloves. Do they know what you do? I mean, you haven't done a day's hard labor in your life, have you? No, my hands are so. I used to work at a flower market when I was 14. Yeah, have you got a butler. I reckon gardening gloves maybe would be a good bet. Have you got any gardening gloves? Snook a ref? I'll get their gloves on. Little white steel gloves. Okay, I'll get some work gloves. Where work gloves to protect your hands is easy to trap your fingers as you pull the springs into place.

Also you need help to get the legs on. There will probably be three legs that have to be held upright at the same time while you get the circle bit attached. You can't do that with one person. It would be easiest with three. Three? I can't. Three? What are you going to do?

Well, I don't know. Is there any more advice? Well, I've got this one, Rob, I've just listened to this week's podcast. Whilst erecting an eight foot trampoline for my son's second birthday, it took my husband night the best part of five hours to put up in darkness and in the rain because it was his birthday the next day. My husband is very handy so it's not that we were used to it's just a nightmare. One step, listen to to to this this this this this this this this this to this this this to this to th. thi. to thi. thi. to thi. thi. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. thus. the the to this Josh, which this really shook me, okay? One step requires gloves and goggles. What the fuck of the goggles? Goggles? Goggles? What do you mean goggles? That is madness, isn't it goggles? Yeah, goggles.

I don't know what is it in case it the pings back in your eyes? Yeah, I suppose so, yeah. Jesus, wet? I get a welding mask. Could you, I've got an idea? how big is it, Rob? It's not a massive one, lose-boi. It's like, it's a fair old size, but because they're only like three and five, it's one of the smaller ones, so it's not like the one for like, how far is the in-laws? It's about a 10 minute drive? Is there any way of the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, is th, th, it, th, is th, is their, is th, is th, is th, is th, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, th, is, is, is, th, is, th, is, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, th, is th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the the the the the that, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, that, thi. thi. thi. th erecting it at the in-laws and then attaching it to your roof? Josh, I've got a roof rack. I've ever, we've discussed it before Rob. I mean, I'm not saying we're running out of ideas, but we've discussed your roof rack twice now. So right, picture the scene, it's Christmas Eve. I've got my goggles on, my gloves on, I've built a trampil queue to get some bungee calls. I'm driving through Bromley with a trampoline attached to a cashkye. It's got to be, it's like sailing a ship. I might start

taking off. I don't think you'd have it on vertically. I don't have enough speed up on the A2 with that. I'll fly! I'll fly! I'll see how big it is and I might be able to strap it to the roof right. I might live stream this build on my YouTube channel. I think we'll have a big, I could pay pervue it. How long is the walk? A 10 minute walk. I can't walk a trampoline. It's about 15, 20 minute walk, Josh. I can't carry a trampoline on my own walking through the streets.

Maybe I could arrange a sort of crew of podcast fans that live in Bromley. And then we can all meet outside of my motherly lords house and carry it to buy. At this point, that could probably be the most sensible thing to do. Yeah. And then I'll be the paper like Rita Aurora for some sort of COVID breach. Well, this is the best suggestion, but it's also, you know, I don't want to throw money at the situation, but could you, I mean, this would be embarrassing. Could you pay a handyman to come around and erect your trampoline? Well, I've had this has been suggested too, said, don't, someone just said, listening to the dilemma, sushi, employ a handman to do it.

You guys go out for then, come back and it's dark, the kids won't see it and you can get, you know, you can put a nice bow on it, but yeah, maybe I could get a handyman, but but I feel bad getting a handyman around to do it because of the morning of Christmas Eve, like with my, and it's my parents and we're sitting in the garden because of COVID, because my dad's old and he's got no spleen and diabetes, and he's an absolute, you know, absolute risk. He doesn't sound like the kind of person that would build a trampling for you either. No, but he's basically got to sit in the garden and get cold and not get COVID. That's what he's got to do for Christmas. But yeah, so the issue is I don't really want a handyman to, I feel guilty get a handyman to come and do it like in the afternoon, evening of Christmas Eve when he should be with his kids and family. Do me? I'm sure Rob, if he names the fee, your guilt will go away. I mean, I can't, you can't pay more to assemble something than what you've paid to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy, to buy, the to buy, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and their, and their, and their, and their, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and do it, and their, and their, and their, their, and their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thoomorrow, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the you? That's not good business. No, it's not good business. Maybe I'll do that and I'll just have to pay a Christmas Eve bride.

No, I really don't want you to do that because I do want to hear how this goes. The other option is dress up a Santa while you're doing it in case the girls wake up and see out the window. Yeah, I don't think that's the key. That's the key. That's the key. That's the key. That's the key the key the key that's the key that's that's the key that's the key that's the key. That's the key. That's the key. That's the key. That's the key the key the key the key the key the key. That's the key the key the key the key. the key. the key the key the key the key the key the key the key the key the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. the key. 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 the key. that's that's the key. that's that's 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 key. the th. the the the the, goggles on. Yeah, that, that, goggles on. Mommy, why is Father Christmas crying in the garden? Why is it, why is Father Christmas blind with bleeding hands crying in the garden? Because Father Christmas didn't use goggles or gloves like it was toyed to his vodka. Yvonne Shields says, for the love of God, get a helper. I attempted to build a trampoline myself and scrape the skin off my knuckles. Oh God. Not a good look for Christmas dinner the next day. Follow the instructions for putting on the trampoline hooks.

I didn't. I put them in order one after the other until the trampoline was pulled so taught I couldn't get the others had to start again. It was pure hell. Oh God. All right, yeah, well, okay, I'm going to take all this on board. I think Handyman may be the best option, a couple of guys that know how to do it. There must be a company that does it. And I'll, or I'll maybe get my brother to help me. I went and then we'll just draw the curtains.

Oh, it's going to be awful. What time do your reasonably start work? Well, the options are potentially. Lou said she was gonna maybe take him out for a walk for an hour or so, which looking at this won't be long enough. But we have got blinds that we could pull down, but if they're awake when the blinds are down in the afternoon, they'll just look up

because they'll hear screaming and shouting and swearing in the garden. Yeah it would I think it would be very weird to go dad he's in the garden but we can't look at it. We're looking at a 738 p.m. start you'd be happy to wrap before midnight wouldn't you? Oh gosh right yeah okay I'm gonna look into this and get back to you with some suggestions because this is that big disaster. The good news is none of the pubs are open so you're not missing out on a great Christmas Eve. No, so yeah, I've got to think, I've got to think this through, but I, I, I can't, one thing sure, I cannot do it alone. I'm so glad I mentioned it because I literally would have just dragged the box. Yeah, I'm a bit, I'm a bit disappointed to be honest.

I, I, I, I am also as well. It ain't like I'm a DIY guy, I am useless at this. Every time I do an IKEA thing, I basically do it wrong and then Lou does it. Right, well if you're not good at that, because they are easy. They are, aren't they? And, you know. Here's a question, what would you do if it gets to 11 p.m. and you've to to to to get to to to to get to to to get to to to to to to get to to to to to to to assemble it and you think I simply can't do this. Why does that leave Christmas Day? They've got other presents, so they wouldn't know but I would. Yeah, but that is their main present.

They'd have like there's a few little bits and bobs but they're the main would it feel like quite an underwhelming Christmas without the trampo hugely? It would they would not be like it would not be like Christmas day. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not. It would not.

Right, yeah. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, we've got, yeah, I think it's free,

maybe I think maybe I think a couple of guys, two or three guys, I'm, th......., th., th., th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, th, th, th. him a Christmas wedge. Yeah. Done. Do you know what I mean? I think that's the best option and that way you can. You can't put a price on Christmas but I think that man says. I have to pay. I think what's interesting there is. They are going to think not much of you those two men Rob. Yeah but also I agree th th th. th. th. that th. th. that th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi 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 that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th.

Because you struggled. But I did put a trampoline up, didn't I? When I couldn't do my comedy, when my jokes were dying, I did build a trampoline on stage, didn't I? Everyone's got their skill set, Josh. And I've got, you know, arguably half of one that I've really exploited. If you think you're having a bad morning, Rob, I can see in the background of my screen when I'm looking at these emails,

I've got Spotify open in the background, and I can see that Matthew Crosby has just, you know, I don't know if you've, I've got it linked to his somehow, so I can see what he's listening to. Oh yeah. He's just listened to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by the Wiggles. So he's having a terrible day. He's having an absolutely terrible day. 1030 a.m. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the Wiggles. No one wants that. No one needs that. Do you want some discussion on beds? Yes please and then I've got a school trip stories to finish yourself which is a very good one. This isn't a thrilling anecdote. Great way to start the email cat.

I thought it was one of your reviews, wouldn't it? But I'll say, me and I've never, I've never managed to make anything into an anecdote. But I'll say, me and my husband have a super king bed with two double quilts. Oh, I like this. She says it's fucking amazing and the secret to a happy marriage. We've got a big bed, but we've got a one duvet, but we definitely need another duvet, I think. They're big enough to overlap, but also you can roll up on your own.

And I have a thicker one than he does. Yes, I, that's what I was going to say a double, a tha, a tha, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm tho, I'm, I'm, I'm, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.... thi. to. too, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, to what I was going to say. A double duvet solution is all tog dependent. If you're going big tog, it's a nightmare. But you've got one low tog, one big tog, fine, but a middle in tog level. Because it'd just be too much. It'd be a bit overwhelming, I'd find it. Like, there must be so much. There must it so much

yeah basically half your life you're in it yeah yeah and the amount of money you spend on a car or shoes not as much as I used to be in it I'll be honest with you wrong before I haven't got exactly yeah pro rata it's gone down a to you not but yeah a third now it is for you but yeah it's my brother got up at 1130 a the the other day and he was like yeah to to to 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 th th the the the th the the the the the the the the the the the th th th the th the to to to the 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 th th th th I I I I I I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. theeeeee. the. the. the is for you, but yeah, it's my brother got up at 1130 a.m. the other day and he was like, yeah, just sort of set through weird really and I was just like, you've unbelievable. But what I do now is when I get angry at people I have been lying, I don't just go, oh, it's probably because they've had a busy week, and I try to pretend.

I try to pretend it's some sort of like self-motivation thing, but I would absolutely be doing the same thing. It's your drive that is getting you up at 6 a.m. Yeah, but it's your lust for life that is waking you up at 6 a.m. No, it's my child, it's my child that's a that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's a that's a that's my child, that's a that's a that's my child, that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's my child, that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's my, that's my, that's my, that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's my child, that's a centimeter away from my face. This is called Sleeping and Separate Beds. This is from Elsie. She says, I don't have children yet, but used to teach in a nursery and infant school children for the pandemic.

As a result, I miss, as she doesn't work there anymore, I miss being around children at school and find your podcast nostalgic. I'm writing him because you talked about couples sleeping in separate beds. My partner and I have to sleep in separate beds as we discovered when we first got a house together he is a nighttime thresher. Most nights he would whack me with his flailing arms in the head multiple times, sometimes so forcefully that I would require an ice pack and wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of the night. Oh God, it sounds starting to sound quite bleak, this.

Well, wait for it. Needless to say, teaching class of 30 children without sleep, felt more like head and cat, so after putting up with this regular night time assault for two months, I decided it with best if we slept in separate beds in the same room. Oh, no way! because my partner six foot four he still sleeps in the original king-sized bed and I now sleep in a small single. Oh no way! Because that was the only bed that would fit into our room. Oh you can't have a super king next to a single. Our bedroom now looks bizarre with his large king-sized bed parallel to my tiny kids bed separated by bedside table. Oh that's um, surely you should swap in and out, but he's six or four, he's a big guy.

Yeah, but still, I think you've got, he got to, it's his fault. It is his fault. Yeah, you're not the one thrashing about that is out of order. I'd say it needs to be split maybe a bit more in his favor if he's bigger, but then if you heed it heed it heed it heed heed heed heed heed heed he's heed heed he's heed he's he's heed he's heed he's he's he's he's he's heat he's he's th. he's heat heat th. heat heat heat heat he's he's he's heat heat heat he- he's he- he's he- he's he- he's he- he's he.

Yeah, like, thrushed around like that, but like, clunk me on the head. And you know, it really hurts, like, right in the nose. You know what? You know what? You know what?

It's so annoyed, you're just thawed the cover tooln't 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, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, tell an accent, I was like, fucking L. Yeah. But you twatted me on the nose. You know what I mean, like you pull the cover over, like quiet, and it's like a little tight hook, like a little elbow. Do you want to hear something, things you learn from your kids? We were talking about this last week. to what we have learned from our kids. This is from Samantha Belshaw. Here is what I've learned from my now 15-year-old daughter Daisy. Daisy was 12 and she came home from school and asked her dad, my husband Dave, to show us his weeness. We looked at each other in shock, and my husband clearly embarrassed, made a joke about being too cold, only to find out that your weenus is the excess or loose skin at the joint of your elbow. Oh the weanus is that weanus that's the weenus. It's a weird feeling the

weenus isn't it? It is. One's closest the human is to a rhino it's the most rhino part of it or an elephant part of human, isn't it?

Yeah, I've never actually considered it before. What is the most rhinoy part of you? Wienus? Yeah, I mean obviously I've got quite hard skin on my hands from the time I assembled a trampoline. I couldn't even think of the words. I'm so tired. That was like a band and tap out, like if there was UFT, that would be like, I'd like using an arm bar by the rhino and energy and you just was like, oh, there's a skit, skin. Can't we all know where I'm going to this, come on it'll do. Exactly.

Just feel the blanket yourself. I'm fucking awkward. Once we knew what our weenus was, we got, we got her to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to ask her to ask her to ask her to ask her to ask her to ask her to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to say trampoline. Just fill the blanket yourself. I'm fucking that good. Once we knew what our weeners was, we got her to ask everyone, my sister grandparents, our friends, smug in our new knowledge.

I've got one school trip one and then we'll do your lovely email. Yeah, perfect. Finish on a nice one. This is Joe Ellis 33, school trip story.

During primary school, our lovely teachers decided a trip to the sewage works would be a good idea. Whilst there, I remember complaining about the stink only to be told by one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one the the the the the the the the the the very good for your health. What? I must have been satisfied with this answer as I have evidently spent most of my adult life believe in a smell of shit is good for you. As I remember every time I smell poo, although I hated it, I'd be thinking, well at least it's doing me some good. I have now 37 and I understand this is not the case. She would just say that to me to keep me quiet. Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop the pop th.

Joe love the podcast. That is amazing. Imagine that, thinking feeling a bit peaky. I should smell from shit maybe to the... What's the lovely message, Josh, to finish on. So I thought we'd finish with this. This is from Claire Bell. I want to pass on my thanks to you and Tom Allen for his episode of Lockdown Parenting Hell. My son is 10 and he's different. He's recently be called weird and not in a good way by summer's classmate. He's struggling with being the kid who doesn't quite fit in. He doesn't like football, has grown his hair long and loves a waistcoat and tie. We're trying to help him to understand that being different can be a superpower, but it takes bravery to be yourself when everyone else seems to fit in.

So Tom's section of your show really chimed, and I am getting him to listen to it now. Regards Claire Bowe. That's lovely, Claire, thank you very much. These books basically about that. It's about th, th, th, th, are going for it and you know and as you seen in his career, he's stuck with that. So he's also got an incredible audio book. So if you've also got an incredible book so if you want to to play that in a car or something and your kid can listen to that I'd recommend that as well. But yeah, that's great. It's great to know and yeah if anyone's kids feeling a bit

different then Tom's book and audio book is great for that. So I'm glad I'm glad we could help Josh. And if you're worried that you can't get the audio book, if you turn on your TV, he will be on it. Exactly yes. There is no danger of that there is no. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is no thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi o' thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. the an the an the an to to to to toooan. to toe an tooom. to the an the an the an thi. thi thi thi whatever it is. For someone who's worried about fitting in, he don't mind going on anything, does he? He was on Soccer AM the other morning, but you know, all power to him, you know? Going on soccer am I'm knowing nothing about football but still being the funniest person on the show. Good lad. But I'm glad this podcast, Josh has helped people because, you know, let's be honest here we did it to escape our children and you know earn a couple of quid so you know that's the main goals but if on top of that it helps people that's always a nice addition in it.

Exactly exactly that is the main thing because they've helped us to save your Christmas which I think is a shame but there that's incredible that no yeah to be fair if I knew that, I wouldn't have written in to tell me to get a handyman and I'll just let me suffer. So thank you for saving my Christmas. Thank you to everyone for listening. We'll be back on Friday when our guests are. We'll be back on Friday when our guests arerovert and that her mum lives with them When they're over there in LA I think but apparently Robbie and the mother-in-all get on really well

We'll see you then All right bye
