A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. Hello, I'm Josh Riddickham. And I'm Robbeckin. 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. And to make 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 Hugo can you say Josh Widakittakit and Rob Beckett. Rob Beckett. There you go. That is Hugo, who is two and a half. Oh, I love it, Hugo.

Do you want to hear his sister Zara, who's one and a half? Zaza, can you say Josh Widdickum? No. No? No? No. told you go. No, Robbucket? Yeah. Fud, Hugo. Yeah, Hugo was better, but she's younger. I mean, it's the all experience, isn't it?

I mean, you've got to put the effort in early doors. But you know, it was a great effort. It was a great effort. And they hail from Orpington? Oh, do that? Oh, she's brave., Hugo and Zara. I feel like she might have put Alpintin in there because she knows I'm local, but maybe have moved somewhere. We hail from Orpington, not too far from Rob, I believe. Exactly. Hale doesn't sound like you live in it, does it?

No, she's moved. There's no way you can, with good grace, call a child Hugo in Alpinton. I don't think. But I think you should, and you should fight those stereotypes, but it might be a very difficult first couple years. But then everyone gets used to it, don't know. But I don't think they both got a job you know and thought you know what we can move out to the countryside a bit we're only computing in a few days a week we live in Oxford now let's call our kid Hugo. Well I tell you what her email does have her LinkedIn as her footer so I could do some

research click on the LinkedIn it's it's a dead link it's a dead link link oh actually she's got a mobile number we We could... It's a mobile up there. You've got a mobile, her email, a LinkedIn and her Facebook. I'll ring her. Are you going to give her a call? If you get me a number, I'll ring her and find out where she still lives. The good news is if she doesn't live in Auburn, you know, I was right. If she does still live in Auburn, but I'll see if she's around Christmas Eve to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help me to help me to help me to help me to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help to help. I'm quite nervous. What's her name? Sophie, Sophie Shea like John O'Shea. Oh, hello, is that Sophie Shea? Oh, I know, it's Rob Beckett from the parenting podcast. Oh my god. Hello. We've got, we just got your email and then you've left so many details about

your life on that email. We managed to get your number. We had a quick question, do you still live in Alpinton? I do, yeah. You do still live in Alpinton. We were saying, calling, you've called your child Hugo in Alpinton. That is brave. Oh God, yeah, sorry. You're you're from around here though, aren't you? Yeah, exactly. I am, I'm not too far, but Josh is here as well. Dross, hello Josh. Yeah, hello, um, would you, do you want to help Rob to, he's building a trampoline on Christmas Eve? Oh, it's quite quiet. It's quite quiet. I'm building a trampoline Christmas Eve. So if you're local, could you help me carry on? Are you slamming my internet? Unbelievable. Anyway, Sophie, you said you held from Alpington. We didn't have you moved because Hugo's a brave name in Alpington, but I'm sure it'll be fine, Sophie.

You sound like a good mom. Thank you. Yeah. Anyway, well, thank you very much for you. Thank you. Do you to be able to listen to this.

Yeah. Called me when I'm gardening at my parents up the road to get my only source of income for the week. And that's exactly when I listened to your podcast and I just finished listening to the last two episodes.

And it's the most bizarre thing to get a phone call from you. Oh! Really, that must be quite a surreal moment anyway. I'm glad the gardening went well and we'll have a good Christmas and I'll promise I won't keep ringing you. No, thanks so much. Bye. Bye.

Yeah, my sister-in-law went out of a bloke called Rupert.

And I was just in the pub looking at him going, I found one. It's a bit like, I imagine, you know, like when people discovered pyramids. And how posh was he? He was quite posh. Steve, John, Danny, our agent, right, I'm manageable, my agent. He's from Burma's himself, he's under, do you know what I mean Danny's he knows? No. 18. That's insane, isn't it? And all Danys, no Daniels. I have got something I should tell you, Rob, I've got something exciting to tell you. Yep. I am recording this in tracksuit trousers.

Whoa! My man's getting comfy! What are you going for? Talk me through it. So do you know what? I had some tracksuit trousers that I found at the back of a drawer. I'm going to sayature is off the scale. What kind of are they? They really thick ones, what may... I've said your picture. They are

thick, they are, yeah I like them, that looks very comfy but what I'd say is that's very fleecy if Nike do like running jogging bottoms right? Yeah. Thin and really soft. So they're wearing silk. And also I'd recommend a zip pocket so stuff can stay in them so they don't fall out, you don't lose your phone down the back of a sofa and you will not be too warm. That's a great entry level track pants. It's the fact, because they're sealed at the bottom and at the top. Sealed? Well, like, yeah, because they're sealed around the ankle aren't they and sealed around the waist. Yeah, elasticated you mean? Yeah, there's no hair flow Rob.

I get what you're saying, but that is one of the thickest jogging monsters I've ever seen. It looks like you want a hoodie on your legs. Too much. I couldn't go running in these. No, no, but yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. They're too heavy. big thick tractsuit. But you need to get get yourself like a really thin lightweight one and you'll really start enjoying them because you'll be so comfy indoors Josh. But I'm just great you've got I'm so I'm so happy you start this journey. Yeah I would be but I've never had just legs sweating before.

But Josh I'm gonna buy you a track suit for Christmas. I'm gonna buy a full trac suit. Josh I'm gonna buy a full. I'm a tre. I'm tre. I'm tre. I'm tre. I'm tre. I'm tre. Josh. Josh. Josh. Josh.

So I've been working loads, but Lou went to me, I got, I'd Friday off and then Lou said, oh, can I, can I go out for the day for the day and you have the kids, you got the day off and I only could tell her the day before because of filming change. And I texted her in the afternoon, right? So they're gonna book a little place for some outdoors heated brunch.

And then they were gonna go out for the day shopping and having some drinks outside, okay. So I went, yeah, sure, brunch, not a problem. And she went, okay, okay, cool. Anyway, we woke up in the morning, she went, you need to get up and help me.

She went, now I've got to get my train. I went, what, before the school drop off? She went, yeah, this is how much she must have been stressed and fed up with the kids. Her brunch was booked for 9 a.m. A train was 8.15. That is not brunch. That is not brunch. That's before I have breakfast. Even if you met someone for breakfast that would be a bit of an early meeting, if you had a breakfast meeting you're about half nine ten, isn't it? Was it a boozy brunch? No, that she did, she was so good when she'd come home but she was actually came up at six. She came up at six from brunch. She'd done a full

dolly part, like a full day at work, nine to five. But yeah, then went out shopping. It's funnier. She deserved it though. She'd been with them all week because I was working so. I can only dream of a 9 a.m. brunch at the moment Rob. Who have we got today, Rob. Today we have got. Robbie Williams and Adepfield Williams is a great interview and they split their time between LA and London. to their time between LA and London? It depends on how much money I they. I I I I I I I I I I they. I they. I they. I they.

It depends on how much money I had. I think if you've got so much money you don't even notice that you split your time, but I do want to be in a position where me and do have to sit down and go, look Lou, we haven't got enough money for the century in for the LA place this month. I mean, it needs to be you've got so much so so so so so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so much so you to be you to be you to be you to be you to be so you you to be so you to be so you to be so you to be so you to be so you to be so you've to be so you've to be so you've to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to be you've got so much money it doesn't matter. I've got some good news about that Yeah, what's that your central heating situation in Los Angeles is

More or less non-existent due to the weather because I know you like your house to be at least 400 degrees at all time Let's not get bogged down by central heating we've already been ridiculed online for not having some sort of nest hive system Oh, yeah, come on I'm not putting a computer on my radiator, mate. Too much. I can't keep up. I don't want to control my radiator from my iPad. It's just, I don't, there's some things that you shouldn't be able to do that easy.

Exactly. I like to have some rooms too hot, some rooms too cold and not. And you want to buy an extra electric radiator that you plug in that sometimes goes on, sometimes goes off, right? That is a much better system for us, isn't it, Josh? It's much, but it's much more simple. Sometimes it's too hot in the middle of January and I just opened my window to call the house down and leave the radiator on because I don't know how to to turn it to to to to 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 to the to to the the the the to to the the the the the the to the the the the to to to to the tho. thoom. the the the thoom. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the turn it down a little bit. And also when we moved in we seem to have under floor heating in the kitchen. I haven't felt it in months. But I don't need to look into that. Yeah, sure, I've paid that money for under floor heating and the floor's cold, but I'll just leave it and just go.

Just leave it and see how I'm sure it'll warm up again at some point. It'll fix itself. Exactly, it'll recover. I've got in a garden, I've got these little lights, like little solar light things that you like take the solar in the day and then they light up bits of your garden in the evening and they were going to like dimming and they weren't very bright and I was like oh God I'm going to have to like phone someone or I'm going to have to sort of buy new ones the the to it apart right and then I said oh god can't bobs do that it's been on my to-do list for like since the summer anyway I walked past one the other day and there was just moss grown inside it I unscrew the top just shook the boss out and it works perfectly now

six months they've not worked idiot well They've got work. Idiot. Well, let's see whether our lives reflect those of Robbie Williams and Ada Fieldwood. Here they are. Hi, lads. Hi, Donnie. Hi, my love. I like the French headboard you've got right behind you. Yeah. We're renting. I'm renting a house at the moment to do all the promo in.

Don't worry, babe. I've got all the four kids covered over here. I got it. Oh, fuck off. We've been doing that for the last two weeks, three weeks. Because I'm alone with the four kids for three weeks. No, I get it. I totally get it. I don't think you do. You've got up this morning to do breakfast shows on the radio. the radio. the radio. the radio. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tod. tod. tod. tod. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. 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. I. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. the the the the the the to. to. to. to. to. today. today. today. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I've. I've to. I do you do. I got up this morning to do breakfast shows on the radio. It's all right you can capture all of this domestic for your podcast. Yeah I mean this is great for the podcast. We should want to explain what's going on here. We should do you want to explain the situation Rob? Yeah, I say we have got a well it's our first married couple on the show together and it feels like we've intercepted your own sort of zoom catch-up. Yeah we should say you're a part. Yeah you're in separate locations. See I does I does comedy trope for the last

three weeks while I've actually been doing stuff like work is that you're who training across being a pop star and like I'm looking after the four children and that's been the it's the it's actually the it's actually the you you you you you it's a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they-s. they-s they-s they-s they-s they-s they-s they-s they star and like I'm looking after the four children and that's been the it's actually a bit of it's comedic but a lot of it's not and the result is I just go I'm putting food on the table. First of all majority of it is comedic there's a grain of it like yeah I am looking after the kids but let's be honest every time I called you you are playing in your golf simulator at the manor. You have rented a manner with a golf simulator. You're putting in six hours of golf work a day. So I apologize if I haven't taken too seriously the hard earnest work that you were doing right now but

there is no golf stimulator where I am. My simulator is screaming children. That's my simulator. Has this been the most disjointed start to a podcast yet? No, but I think it's a fair representation. I think it's a fair representation of sort of what's going on because you're both in separate places. I just got all the kids. So how can you run us? How many children if you got? 800. I don't even remember their names.

I don't even. It's funny, in court, we have four kids, but in quarantine, I don't know if you've experienced this, but I feel like the amount of kids that we have like quadruple, because I never, I never realized how many kids we had till we were at home with them all day long and schooling them. Yes. It was all all the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their. It was all. It was all. It was all. It was all. It was all. It was all. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It's funny. It's. It's. It's. It's. day long and schooling them. Yes. It was all of a sudden, like, what is that? Is it the matrix when, when what's his name, multiplies over and over, like the second one, got, yeah, yeah, yeah. They all became multiple beings because like each scream was four screams, you know, like try to get a five-year-time for other applications was quite challenging. Plus like you're feeding the baby, the other one's shitting somewhere.

I mean it was a lot. By the other one she meant me. That was raw but I do tell him for the most part to clean up his own mess. And how old are your kids? Uh, 8, 6, 2, and 9, 10 months. Wow, that is full on. And where are you at the moment, Robb, you're in separate locations? Idis in Switzerland, where are you? I'm in Oxfordshire.

I've come over to do a promo for my album, Christmas present, and if I didn't do that, none of these children would eat, gone. Oh, I'm glad that we're helping you out with the food, Rob. Have we noted that Robin's doing this interview from bed, and he's just woken up and it's like 1 p.m. I'd like to put some framework around this. Yes, I can confirm that he's still lying in bed topless. I assumed he was in LA and you'd got up really early for this, but no, it is midday, it's Soxfordshire, so how does it stop my eye wouldn't be able to get away with this?

So how are you how you managing to do this, Robbie and not getting trouble with either? I got up really early this morning. I did lots of radio shows, breakfast shows, to launch my single. Yeah. And then because that was so tiring, I've just had a power nap and now I get up and I do this, and then I've got other things to do until nine o'clock this evening. So I'm sticking up your American ass. I will, I will shove that mild accomplishment up my ass. But I would like to take to the crowd. What to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the them the the the them them the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their 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. th. th. th. tip. tip. tip. tip. true. true. true. S. S. S. I. I. I'm. S. I'm toda. would like to take it to the crowd. What time, Robbie Williams, would you say and be honest, be truly, truly honest, because we are all a witness, what time would you say that you normally get up in the morning?

I'd say I've been really good just recently, but since you've known me, which is 15 years, 12 o'clock in the afternoon. It died. There you go. Are you a student? Listen, I suffer with a undiagnosed retor called Robbism, Robbism. And listen, I'm getting there. I'm getting there slowly but surely, but I've had.

One minute at a time. So when you say even really good recently, what's really good? Half past nine. Sorry, I'm sorry. You're not, you're not agree with that either? No. No. I'm not.

It sounds difficult for me and Rob obviously because we've got fake jobs as well. Yeah what do you guys get up for you with your fake jobs and your fake? I got up at 6.30 this morning. Wow.

They're good sleepers. They get that from the dad. I still can't.

Some of them were actual zoom in the studio. I did all of them

like this because I'm an eccentric pop star. You did not do the regular news like that. Did you bed? Did you really do a topless in bed? Yeah. Wow, strong show. You married an eccentric pop star, you know about me. Do you think that if you just keep repeating eccentric pop star that will just bypass and there's always just an eccentric pop star? Okay, let me ask you this Ada Williams. Am I an eccentric pop star? You are an eccentric pop star? That, that? That, that? That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That th. That th. th. th.

What time do you guys, if you get up at 7 or 6.30 in the morning? How many kids do you each have? I've got one, Rob's got two. So I'll get up 6. To be fair, I don't, I've only, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've only, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've only, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, th..... th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to., to., to., to, to, their, their,. When I've been touring and I come in late, then I'll sleep in to about nine or ten.

Thank you. Nine or ten. Simmer down, Stokes, simmer down, he said nine or ten. That's the lion. Okay, so you get up with the kids, what does your day look like now that you're in quarantine and you're not is the eldest goes to score about 10 past 8 and then the younger one goes to preschool about 9. So we sort of get rid of them.

And then I can do all my zooms and work. So that's so much easier. During lockdown, it was horrific. What was it like? Where were you guys in lockdown? We were in Los Angeles. How was that? At the sunn. It was sunny and locked in. I don't know.

Rob was doing lots of drawing. He was doing lots of coloring in. I do coloring in. I like it. Soothing. We're both a couple of eccentric guys. Centric comedian. Yeah, I stick a crown up my ass and just draw with that.

Is that what you did? Yeah, it's eccentric, couldn't we? What did we do? I mean, we worried about about about about about about about about about about, I mean, we worried about toilet paper like everyone else. Obviously with Rob's shitting proclivity. Yeah, obviously that's a big problem. There was concern. But no, we just panicked.

We didn't know what to do. The kids, you know, like your kids sound like they're small age. Yeah. How old are your kids? So just start. Mine's three. We're locked down now because someone at her nursery got COVID, so she's not allowed to leave the house for 14 days. Oh. So she's properly like, she's locked in locked in right now. She's locked in, locked in, and she doesn't know why she's locked in. What are you doing with her then?

Because like a three-year-old doesn't understand? No. We're doing a lot of coloring, but she's got to be on the putting up her stage, which is a positive. That's plus. Yeah, so she's doing good good with that. We're doing coloring. We put up the tree yesterday, which was like playing our trump card too early. That was a huge error. That's early, man. You got, you got, how many more days do would have left the tree a couple more days, dude. Yeah, well, I thought you were you weren't there in the pressure cooker atmosphere.

We'd be there. A panic tree, I get it, a pana tree happened. But we're just doing cutting out and coloring and I made banana bread yesterday. But she walked off within five minutes of it starting. So I was just left making a banana bana bana-a. It's a depressant activity though, isn't it? No one wants that. Can you imagine if as an adult you could do stuff like that? If you weren't just instantly enjoying something, just like walking off. This feels like Robbie's about to leave the interview, that would be in the interview. Well, the good thing is when you do an interview in bed, there's nowhere else to go, is there?

I've had enough of this, and you just be just you you you th you th and you th and you to be just to be just to be just to be just to be to be to to be their to to to their to to to their to their to to their their to to their their their thirty thirty to be a their their their their their their their their their their their their to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be else to go is there? I've had enough of this and you've just been laying there anyway. Just turn over. How do you, how do you, when you're not working, how do you split the sort of parenting then? Does one of you do more things with the kids or, you know? You know the answer to this right now? Okay. So you would you say you do all of the, all of the parenties? All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all of the, all of the, the, when, all, when, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, the, the, when, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, when, the, when, when, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you, do, you, do, do, you, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, the, when you, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, no. When Rob is awake, he's a very good father. We do the, we like the school pickups together. We do the school activities together. What else, what else do we do together, boo? Golf, take them to golf, take them to football, take them to ballet. You say they taken with his little football friends, you know,

so that's what they do. Charlie's also, which is making me so proud, he's so into his golf. He loves it. And yesterday, the golf pro sent me a video of him putting. Did you see the putting that he was doing night? Didn't send me the video? No, I saw Keith, but I didn't get this said video. What is it? There was like a 16- th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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. Charlie, th. Charlie, th. Charlie, th. Charlie th. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, thirty. thirty. thirty. thirty. thirty. th. that. th. th. but I think I didn't get this said video what is it yeah there was like a 16 foot port and he put it in and then he got another ball out and put that one in two anyway really proud of him so yeah there is I'm who do you reckon is the most strict out of me and you oh I think we're kind of on the same page with strictness I would say maybe you're more strict than me is that because like I've the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th I I th I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the th. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. theeeeeeeeeeeean. theean. theeean. theeee. I the. I the. I the. I th. I would say maybe you're more strict than me. Is that because like I've got a sort of like manly demeanor that looks more angry? Yeah I think you've got a you've got a bigger gate, bigger bigger build and gate than I do so you more. I got a barrel chest. The barrel chest of the

eccentric pop star. Porta Burger if it's like all sorted. I think we're on the same, but we're consistent. We like the manners, we're, you know, like, we're consistent with, we say no and they don't do it, we follow through with the punishment. But I would say maybe you're slightly more strict with me, with the kids, with me. That was a Freudian. I think that I kind of relinquish more control of the strictness when it comes to the surreptitious treats. Oh yeah, you give more treats. I think the kids know to go to you for the treats. But that being said, I don't know when or when not to give the treat because you're in control

of treat giving, you see. Like the treat master. You're the treat master. With Teddy, I think she's got you wrapped around the finger. Teddy has a real thing with sugar and dairy. She has like an issue with it. So she really shouldn't have it. So she knows to go to Daddy to get like extra treats. Or like, this was one I discovered. Rob decided to give. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. toe. toe. toe. th. toe. toe. thi. too. too. too. too. too. too, thi. thi. too, too, 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. thi. toe. t. t. t. tod. toda. today. today. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. toda. today. today. about the diet Coke situation. Hold on. It was Coke zero. Go on. Ah, sorry. Sorry, more chemicals. My bad. So I do you guys give your small little children Coke zero? I haven't done that. No, we've not done fizzy. We sort of go fruit, shoot, or Robinson's, but they haven't asked for it yet. I didn't have asked for it either. Hold on. How old are old do? how old? how old? the children? the children? to do to do to to to to to the to to to the to to the to to to the the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to co? to co? to co? to co?

I think that not for it either. Hold on how old are your children?

Five and three. Five and three, okay. So Charlie at least at least five if not four when you gave them coke zero. And how many of they on a day now? Are they got into it? Well if it was up to daddy they would have them daily. They're Jones in for it like it's spice and they's in spice. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they're they're they're to 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 they they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. they they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. to thi. to thi. to thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. they're in stoke. How do you feel though like because the lifestyle they have is so different to what you guys had growing up do you find it difficult to sort of marriage it up when you sort of think about how you used to live? Not that different from I does lifestyle growing up. Is it going back to the fact that I grew up with an onsweet are we gonna? I just I just never lived in a house where she hasn't had had her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her th. had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had her own had her own had her own had her own had her own had her own had her own had her own own. the fact that I grew up with an onsweet. Are we gonna? Are we gonna? I just never lived in a house where she hasn't had her own onsweets in her own. Wow. Yeah, exactly. That's good though. That's that's aspirational. That's what you want, isn't it? That is living the dream.

Come on. Yeah, Robbenthingen Palace did a house. Did you have a indoor toilet when you're growing up Robbie? My grandma grandma until 1985 and then she did. Yeah, yeah, they had to go outside. But having said that, Ida was like poor for Beverly Hills, but in Stoke-on-Trent, she would have been like the queen of Stoke-on-Trent. But in Beverly, it's all relative. Is they getting married to Tony Pulus? She, it's all relative. She's, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's the the the thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they-a, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrent, but in Beverly, it's all relative. Is that getting married to Tony Pulas? It's all relative. She may have had her own onsuit, but she was bereft of a G-wagon. Let's just put it that way. I do think about that with our kids, you know, how are we going to raise them so that they're mindful, appreciative, grateful, grounded children?

Because we could be totally fucking this up. You know, like we're just, like every parent, I don't know if you guys, I mean, I don't know, I don't know how you guys grow. I'm totally fucking up. Right, like, how do you have this right? We don't really know, do you just sort of find out at the end? I think that's the thing that's there. You never really know until about 30 days. It's like getting your exam results in 18 years.

Yeah, you're like slap for the huge therapy bill and from resentment. You're like, oh, wrong. Like, do you have these moments as a parent? Oh, yeah, that's gonna get brought up later. Like I definitely. I got my daughter a scooter and she was, for her birthday and she's had a new scooter going to school and then Lou had got this helmet for it which didn't really fit and you look ridiculous and all that. They kept on slipping off and all the schoolmates were there.

I was like, this feels like, thi's like, throwns, it's, everything, everything, everything, their, their, to, to, to, to be, to be, their, to be, their, their, to be, to be, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their to to their, to be, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and their, and their, and, and their.......... to to ttttttttooooooooooooooooooomorrow..... ttttttogether. together, ttogether, ttogether like where you guys seem to be like in the UK in LA, where are you sort of basins? Do they have a base of the same school or do they move around with you guys for work? Well we kind of we started them off in school kind of to their kind of both in LA and in London, you know when we were in London for a year they'd be in school there or six months and we kind of did that back and forth thing and then it became apparent it was kind of unfair to them because I kept yanking them out of one and sticking them another and then we were both busy and there was no way you know initially I would try and stay with the kids while Rob will go off and then it was we were both working so eventually we did have to put them in home school and we had them come with us what was that like th and th and th and th and th and th and th. and th and th and th. what th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had them them them them them th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them the the the th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had th. And we had thin, thin, the. And we had they the. And we had they they they were they were they they were they were they were they were they they were they were they were they they were they was that like? I mean I think we might have fucked it up. I think I don't think if you, Robbie's nodding just for Rob's nodding. I don't know that we should be the

headmasters of our own school. I'm not sure that that should be bestowed upon us. Team A and now a year behind everybody else and they really. Yeah because I don't think as strict as we are with manners. I don't think we've I think we went kind of more the Montessori path with like we want them to have yoga and gratitude in the morning like it's great that they know how to share and braid leaves you know like I don't think that we exacted the right standards we weren't clear on to be fair I think we should have been doing more homework on what kind of stuff they needed to be doing so I don't think th th th th I th I th I th th 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 don't thin thin thin thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the an thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean the an the an the an the an them our kids I don't think they got used to like homework and things like that there wasn't like a real so then all of a sudden I got some tutors in to see how they were and they're like unfortunately your children are like really behind so really really so so now we've

upped it now they're back in school now they're thriving see I I does in charge of the educational the education the education the education the education the the the the the th the th th I th th I th th I'm th th th th I'm th th I'm th th I'm th I'm th I'm thi thi thi thi thrie I they's they's thriving thriving thriving 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 to to to to to to to to they're they to they to they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thrie thrie thrie thrie the thrie thrie thrie the thrie thrie thrie they're thrie of they're because genuinely I don't believe in it. Really? Yeah, yeah, she's kind of like the person that's that the cracks the whip and make sure that they're doing everything and it's all correct. Whereas I left school at 16 with no qualifications whatsoever and I had a great time at school. I had a wonderful time with my friends and I haven't laughed as much in my life since school you know so that was... We've got more of a social experience for you wouldn't we? Yeah that's that's the function that it served me so I'm kind of like the person behind

either as she's cracking the whip gun. Yes, you should. Should you? Do you have to read? Do you have to read? Do you have to have to do? It's fine. Babe, do you remember that there was a moment when, because Rob and I come from very different academic backgrounds. And I remember when Rob told horrified that he got a D in English because I was like a straight A student. And then only recently did I find out that D was his best grade. That was the, when he said he got a D in English.

That was the win. He wasn't embarrassed, like I got a D in English. He was like, I got a D in English. That was the win. That was the win. The thing is that I sort of agree with you in a way with that, Robbie, that like, you know, if as long as you work hard and you're passionate about something, you don't always necessarily need the grades and loads of schooling. But what if your kids wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor? I'd be so upset. I'd be so upset. I'd so upset. I'd so upset. I'd to be so upset. I'd to be so upset. I'd to be so upset. I'd th. I'd th.

I genuinely be like, you have so let me down. So any of them showing musical or acting ability? Yes. Yes. Teddy like sings her way through her homework. She sings through tennis. She's just like she's constantly performing and singing and she said the other day in the car she was like daddy I think I want to be a singer like you when I grow up and we were both like well listen you have to work very hard it's a very tough industry and you know not everybody makes it and she went, have you heard my voice? Have you heard my voice? What about her kids? Are they, are they artistic? Are they more observational?

My daughter is so good at coloring in. But I don't want to brag about it because I don't think there's any money in it. Within, she keeps it within the lines? She's three. That's quite amazing. That's quite amazing. I don't know. That's, that's quite amazing. I don't. I th. 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 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. 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 that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's quite 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 thatthink there's any money in it. So... Within, she keeps it within the lines. She's three. That's quite amazing. I don't know. I totally had that as well though when I was growing up, Robbie, that like, my parents weren't into the academic thing at all and like, obviously I did it thrown, their own that. But, obviously I did thathea, I, I, I, I, I, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, thathea, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, three, that, threa, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thre. thre. thre. thre. thre. threa, threa, threa. That, threa. That, threa. That, throooooooooooooo. She's, threa. She's, threa. She's, think that's quite kind of freeing to feel like that.

I did it all off her own bat. Yeah, I wasn't pressured into it. I was very lucky that, I mean, I think Rob and I both agree. I really don't care what grades my kids get. I don't care. There's no pressure for them to be any kind of career path. I want them to be happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy to be happy happy happy happy to be happy happy happy to be happy happy to be happy to be happy to be happy to be happy happy to be happy happy happy happy to be happy happy happy happy happy to be happy happy happy to be happy to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy to be happy. I to be happy. I to be happy. I to be happy. I them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them to be happy. I to be happy. I'm them to be happy. I'm to be happy. I'm to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I want to be happy. I'm happy to be happy to be happy. I want them to feel passionate about it. My hard work came from my own neuroses need to please and I worked really hard. But I think like, I just think for the kids, I want them to have the option of being able

to do whatever they want to do so that they're not limited. Like if they can't read, there's a situation. Like they're going to be really really really really really really think, like if we were to pick which we thought we were doing with homeschool, our curriculum was very very liberal. It was like, what did we have? You know, we were, we would like study superheroes and we would. I wouldn't say it was the grind. Obviously it's different from them because they're in school now. In school is a different situation because you have, you know, these very structured classes, but I think we're quite, we're quite liberal at home. There's, we don't pressure our kids to achieve anything, do we, babe? No, we don't, but I think that you'll probably will be way more concerned about the kids than I will be. Say for example, if somebody does get a C, I'll be like, that is amazing. And you'll be like, disappointed. So, truthfully, I would probably be disappointed, but I would try not to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve not achieve not achieve not achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to achieve to to to to to achieve to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 ach ach ach the ach ach the ach the ach to achieve the to achieve to achieve to achieve to to to to like disappointed. So truthfully, I would

probably be disappointed but I would try not to let them know I was disappointed. Exactly. I don't think any moms ever succeeded at that. I think my, for our kids, I think the one thing I really want for them really is just to be able to speak other languages. That's really important to me because they're young they can soak it up like like the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. thi. thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they're to they're they're they're th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. t can speak other languages. So that would be the only thing I would kind of like maybe manipulate in their direction to go like, hey check out Spanish or Italian. Maybe manipulate. There was times in the house when Teddy was like 18 months old that all was spoken in my house was French. And I have to have to literally like after three days of not being involved in any conversation I was just like, whoa, whoa, wow, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho, w w w w, tho, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their thi maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, thoooooooan, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, their their their their thi their their their their their the have to have to literally like after three days have not been involved in any conversation I was just like whoa whoa whoa whoa this has

got a stop. Boy boy. Like because I did I just speak several languages so It's very important to Ida and I get it. They said the best way to do it is to just speak the other language constantly to your kids so my mother and I who speak constant French to Teddy to try and get her to to to to 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 to their their to their their to to their 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 their their their their their their their their their their. their their. their. the. the. I. I. I. thea. Iea. thea. Iea. thea. Iea. Iea. thea. Iea. I was. I was. I was. I was. their their said the best way to do it is to just speak the other language constantly to your kids. So my mother and I who speak French would just speak constant French to Teddy to try and get her to hear French. Have you taken them back to Stoke and showed them around where you grew up? Not recently. They did come to Port Vale with me last year, but they only came to the ground really. Tonstall to the kids when they were in push chairs and we went to the local park, Tonstall Park and Ida was just sort of like this is so idyllic. You know when you said that it was rough you know I don't understand. As the words left a mouth some young man went up to a young man on the tennis court

punched him in the face and rode off on his mountain bike. And I was like, there you go. There you go. It literally was out of a movie because I was like practically spinning around the fields and going, this is just so pretty babe. I don't want to watch it's rough and literally just as my eyes cast a glance at the little basketball tennis story these kids just punch this other kid and went up with his shit.

I was like, oh, okay. Okay, no. But yeah, we, you know, we'd like to spend more time with their nanny, Janie and they just like, just like, you know, the kids spend the London, but you know the grandparents are there. They had a sleep over with their nanny Janney and they spent to be here. I kind of like want them to understand, you know, that's the stoke that I want them to see. I want him to be old enough to go, oh. Oh. Didn't Daddy do well? Oh, didn't Daddy? Oh? Well, tho the kids say they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to to to to be to be to to they're to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Didn't. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, didn't. Oh, didn't. Oh, your kids say they're from though so like if they like met someone on a holiday said where you guys from would they say London would they say LA would they you know where would home be? What do you

think babe? I think they probably at the moment say that they were from Los Angeles. Yeah I would know Charlie so it's funny about her kids is Charlie still has an English accent and Ten he has kind of an American accent at this point. So they actually speak differently, the two of them. And how do you feel about hearing them speak an American accent and hearing them speaking? I was the question. I think that's a question based to me, because, you know, the question is basically going, do you hate that Robbie? That's what the question is. I tried to reframe it as I was saying it, but you read through me.

Yeah, the answer is yes I do, but I try not to look disappointed. No, no, here's the thing. Before you have the kids, you would want them and it's expect them to have the same accent as you. I I I I I I I I I I I I I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand I understand. I understand the question. I understand. I understand the question the question. I the question. I the question. I the question. the question. the question th the question. th the question, th the question, the question the question, th then, the the question, th. th and it's expect them to have the same accent as you I understand the question and then when Teddy doesn't it's my daughter and I love her so her accent is her accent and it's beautiful and that's that's the truth are you gonna have any more or you stopping up four kids do you think? Big four is good I think we're you know you don't know how relieved I am, but like at the fourth I went, that's enough now. Like it was, it was like, oh really? Oh really? Like, it's getting crazy boo.

And like, you know, because like after the first, I was just like, we're done right? We're done, we're done. We're the thing that wanted, we got it, right? So we can, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the. And, like, like, like, like, like, like're done right? I get the snip, right? We're done. The thing that wanted, we got it, right? So we can, she was like, and it was quite emotional actually because you know, you obviously wanted more. And then there was like arguments about whether we were going to have anymore. And then there was like this one time we were in a car and there was a lady pushing a push chair across the like zebra crossing and in my head I thought if we don't have anymore every time I just sees that push chair it's gonna break a heart so we I relented and was like okay let's let's let's have more because for a guy for the first couple years when well for this guy

let's just say when Teddy arrived the birth was just like ecstasy, the universe was given me. It was incredible. And then when we took the baby home, it just poos and shits and cries you know, and like it feels like a stranger has arrived to like ruin the party. And then and then and then eventually she's old enough to go daddy and as soon as she does that oh my God I'm just like it was kind of instant like okay let's have as many of these as we can. Yeah and then and then sort of we got to three and by the time we got to three I was like totally in I was like more please please but then but then when we got to the fourth one and you

turned to me and you were just like and that is enough I was like oh okay because we have we've had we have at one point we had ten dogs and 10 dogs and I was just like I see where this is going. I see where this is going. It's like when we were like in the beginning of our relationship, it was kind of like, oh, I'm having an emotion, let's buy a dog. You know, and it's like, I thought that, oh, we're going to do that with children aren't we? We're going to have an emotion and then have another child. But like when you turn to me and said that's enough, I was just like, wooo, yeah, okay, cool, we're done. What's the Christmas like in the Williams household?

You describe Christmas book. I'm obsessed with Christmas. I have like a real this is the reason. This is the reason, this is the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, the reason, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, th. I'm, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, that's 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 th reason, I'm not pitching my album, but I might as well see it as we're on. You know, this is the reason. That's what I was what I was segueing into. I thought I was quite subtle about it. Yeah, no, you did a good job. Okay, so Christmas when I was growing up was great and then sometimes really disappointing when it didn't get what I wanted, you know, like a child. And then I sort of went into the drug years and then like Christmas was just like instead of two grams of cocaine, I'll buy six. And then all of that was stripped away from me because of the nearly death.

And then I had to stop. And then you sort of like bereft of all your medicines. So you just left with a Christmas going, this is shit. Everything about Christmas is telling me that you should be happy in the family and I feel opposite of that. And then I was non-plussed about Christmas. Then I had arrived into my life and she is just the spirit of Christmas when she got a feet under the table as I like to say and it was just like oh I'm this is cemented I'm in. I came out one day and honestly, I think the house was that illuminated. It could be seen by the space station.

And then, from then on in, she has been the most incredible memory maker. And it is now both of ours most favorite time of the year. I am a Christmas convert and every boxing day without fail we turn to each other and go that was the best Christmas ever and now that the children are here it's even it's even more special because we can do you know the grown up lying to them about all the you know all the Santa stuff and the the Alf on a shelf which is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I I I I'll. I'll. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the -up lying to them about all the, you know, all the Santa stuff and the Alf on a shelf, which is sort of like has a dual thing to it because I don't know about you, but when I found out Santa wasn't real, I was very, very confused and very, very depressed. Does anybody, did anybody else?

I don't remember finding out that he wasn't real? I don't remember it being a moment in my life. I don't know why it just kind of happened for me. I don't know about you Rob. I think it was my mom coming downstays with a present saying get out the way I've got to put these out and you're still awake and I want to go to bed so it's quite a short shot sharp shock. Wow. What about what about what about?? what about? what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about what about the the the the the 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that? that? that? that's? that's that's that's that's that's that's the. that's the. the. the. the. the. the? Oh my god, I was devastated. I was fucking devastated. You know, it's like those things where you hear the rumors at school, like those kids that are like, you heard there's no such thing as Santa and you're like, shut up, there is. And then you're like, you know, like, little rumors swirling around your head, but you're like, no, there is a Santa.

Like, what happened for us was that we went away, we were going away for Christmas one year, and so we opened our Christmas presents before we went away because we weren't gonna bring them with us. And then when I got back from said holiday, I was like, I can't wait to see what Santa left me. And fucking Santa left me, fucking nothing, because it was my parents, and they forgot to leave something.

And that was how I figured out tha tha tha, and I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I was how I figured it out. And I just remember, because I've always been so obsessed with Christmas, it was like my world crumbled. It was like, it was like the deity that I believed and was now gone. And I was a really empty feeling. And I have to say, it's so amazing having kids and getting to relive that fantasy with them and create that magic for them. Knowing how much it means to them, knowing how much it and watching them and seeing how much it means to them. You know, I it's like I see with Teddy she's eight and I think oh my god I think we have maybe like one more year of you know of this magic and I that's why I think I go so OTT with the elves I get into it and I make the ginger but I really want to like you know it's like as a kid there's all the the magic the magic you get in life. Yeah, yeah. It's like that ball just dwindles because then there's like obligation and

frustration and jobs and pressures and you're like using your like you're like your quantity of magic that you have to like sprinkle in your life to plug the holes and it's like I just want them to like like this magic sense inside for Christmas that stays with them and I just think I feel so so lucky that I love Christmas and that. Are you worried the the the the the the th. the the the their their their their their their their their their. their their. their their their their. their their their. their just their just their just their just their just their just. their just. 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. tttttttttog. ttttttog. tttttog. ttog. their. their. their. their. their. their. just think I feel so lucky that I love Christmas and yeah are you worried about them finding out Santa isn't real how are you gonna yes I'm like I'm to the point where I feel like giving interviews to all the children around them going do you believe in Santa what would you say to my teddy if you heard otherwise like honestly find that person that wants to like helicopter every child around like only those that believe are allowed to be around my children. Just just another another Christmas memory we used to live on a gated community in Los Angeles where

there was probably a hundred other houses and we actually walked around the community one Christmas looking to see who'd beaten us genuinely like it was a competition and you can read and I'm tellain you and I'm tell you can't, and I'm tellaintel you, and I, and I, and I'm you tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel to to just just just just just just just just just to just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just to to the to to their just, just just just, just just just, just another another another another another another another another another another another another another another another another another another another, just just just just just just just just 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 tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tel tell. tell. tell. And I'm telli the to the an the an the an the an telli. Just the an the an the an the an their their the an their the the an the an beaten us genuinely like it was a competition. And you can read and I'm telling you you'll remember which house it is. Oh yeah yeah. It was the house down on the bottom on the right you go right and then you go left and you go those bastards. Yeah. What did they do? I think we came in at number three babe. I don't even think we got number two. No we got we got number two. But here's a name drop with sort of like okay so slash lived right across the road from us and and we just we completely battered slash at Christmas right but slash isn't bothered about Christmas. Slash is of course bothered about Halloween.

Yeah. And his Christmas is Halloween and he went massive at Halloween. We look like proper losers on Halloween. We were trash man. We have like a home win. You're willing to concede Halloween for a big Christmas win. Let me just let me just run you through the list of people we beat at Christmas. Let's play. Right. Okay Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. Oh wow. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to. to. Yeah. to. to. to. Yeah. to. Yeah. Yeah. to.

That's right. Okay Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. Oh wow. He did well. I don't know Brian. Brian Brian did good. Brian did very well. He had all those little candy canes in the front. We still beat him. Okay Tom Jones. Yeah. Yeah. We kicked his ass too, Paris Hilton. Wow.

Yeah, Shaquille O'Neal, beat him at Christmas. Give him a beat Shaq, no way. Beat Shaq, beat Shaq at Christmas. And we beat Christina Aguilera, so... Oh wow. Well, congratulations. So who was, do you know, do you know who the person was that beat you or did was that a nameless person? I think it was a nameless person. One day Paddy McGinnis came over and I took him around the house, he was right?

And I had his camera out and I just made up names of people that lived there, right? For about, honestly, honestly, for about half an hour. And I said as soon as Bill Clinton was out of office, that was the house that he stayed at. This is originally Dean Martin's house, right? And all of these houses that I was pointing out, like Dean Martin, Frank Snartre, these houses were built in 1999. And like at the end of it, and I went, and I made all of that all. He was propagated. We've got one last question we always like to ask our guests, which is normally we ask

them when they're on here on their own, not with the other half, but is the question is, is there something that your partner does parenting wise that annoys you and frustrates you that you've never said because it may cause an argument but if they were were to to, to, to, to, the, to, the, to, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, the, their, the, the, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, prop, prop, prop, prop, prop, proe, proe, proe, pro, pro, pro, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, the, they......e, they, they.e, they, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, to, to, to, toe, toe, is, is, is, is toe.e.e.e.e.e.e. And, is, is, is toe. And, toe. And, is, is an argument, but if they were to listen to the podcast and they could pick up it, it's a little thing that just sort of frustrates you a little bit. You know it's good as like if we end with this, that Rob and I can actually get into a domestic after the podcast ends. Yeah, or we can just keep rea feeling. Feel free to leave it running. I would say there.

I would say it's there are many thorns. I'm going to say Diet Coke, Coke Zero. Was that the first time that they'd had Fizzy drinks there? Yes, yes. And they hadn't asked for it and you weren't consulted. No, no, the drug dealer gave them their first line for trace. So now, now, like chirping birds all the time.

They don't even want regular coke. They want Coke zero. Like, I can't even get them off the Coke zero to regular Coke. Why did you give it to Robbie? Well, I was the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi. So, thi, thi, tho, tho, togu. Wea, togu. Wea, together, together, together, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the drug, the. We're deep. Why did you give it to Robbie? Well I was just having one myself and I was like oh go on just a little bit. I didn't I wasn't like I gave them their own cup of it. I was just like oh let them have a sip of this see what they think. And what they thought was this is the best thing ever. Then you got them some you poured it in their thing. Yeah, yeah, but here's the thing. I don't want to be like known as like Pablo Escobar of Coke Zero because that's

that wouldn't be true either. It's like they have, they have maybe a glass of it at the weekend once a week. And the same question to you, Robbie, is there anything that frustrates you the way I had a parents. From from a man that's laying, topless in bed at midday. I don't know if you've got much to. That you can stand on. No, here's a thing, it's like with our relationship, because we're so therapized. I just been in therapy out the womb, straight to all white office. How did you feel about the vaginal canal?

And you know, so, and I've had to do loads of tons of work on myself too. So if absolutely anything crops up, it's talked about dissected and sorted out straight away in our relationship. So there's no secret, oh, I wish she'd do this. Yeah. Because it's talked about the only thing that is sort of like mildly concerning for me but also at the same time I'm sort of like it's best left in her capable hands it's just the educational process because I know I am going to be and I am more lay safesafe fair about results. I did, you know, like the other day,

Teddy got 10 out of two, she gets 10 out of 10 for stuff. I don't know what to do with that. Because like, I'm like, you know, if she got two out of 10, I'd be like, yes, she's an ex-man. Do you know what I mean? She's like, she's gonna be shit at this but whatever she's good at she's gonna be incredible! You know, so like when she comes home with 10 out of 10, of course I'm incredibly proud, but it is going to be the case when she or they decide that they want to be a doctor, I'm not going to know what to do with that. I'm genuinely, genuinely, genuinely, I know we joked about it at the beginning,

but like where other households will only want their children to be like doctors or lawyers or whatever, this household and me, I'd be upset if they didn't enter the entertainment industry in some sort of capacity. I love that they will disappoint you with a profession, with the, is a textful or a love? I had such high hopes for you. At the end of the day, I don't think any of them are going to be in any kind of like regular job

because of the eccentric pop star, who's their father. I just think our kids are going to be creative little souls. Now I don't think they're all going to be singers or actresses, but I think they'll, I think they're, Rob will maybe notice or not notice. I will be there to wake them up. It'll be fine. We'll get there in the end. But yeah, do you guys have hopes of like what your kids are going to be or do you not the No, I wouldn't want to put the pressure on. I would never say to them, I would, do you know what, I would hate for her to be a comic? Because I just find it too stressful. Really? Really? Going through the same thing. I'd find, to be honest. I know, I don't really th I you know I don't really care what she's coming out with or how good her handwriting is and I do find some parents a bit like oh I want their handwriting to be I don't really, I know no one's written anything down for years have they?

it's just all typed. So I'm really as long as they're you know as long as they work hard and they're happy I don't really care what they do. I don't really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they don't really really really really don't really don't really don't don't to to to to to to to th th to tho. to the the the thi the they they they they, they do want them to be a lawyer or something like that. But I just don't really care. Then I feel like, I just genuinely don't care what they do, which I think makes you feel like it's quite bad. But I don't, I don't think, I don't know, I think, I'm kind of like, you know, I don't want to be anything other than what they want to be. But I just think, oh God, if she was an actress, especially my daughter's like, I'd be so upset because it's so much, it's so mean, it's so much rejection, it's so hard. Oh God, if I could save them from that, I would think, oh, if any of my children wanted to, I would support it. But oh, there would be be be be be be be be be their th. th. th. Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'd be th. Oh, I'd be th. Oh, I'd be th. Oh, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so th. th. Oh, I'd be so th so much th so much th so much th. Oh, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'd be so so. Oh, so. Oh, so. Oh, so. Oh, so. Oh, so. Oh, so. Oh, I'd be so so. Oh, I'd be so th. Oh, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd be so, I'd th. th. th. th. th. th. thoo. th. th. th. thoooo. th. th. thooooo. th. th. th. th. th. I have to go through this. Yes, that's how I feel about comedy. When she said I'm going to Edinburgh Festival, I think,

oh, you're going to have a shit month. We all have a shape month up there. I mean, Tiger Woods seems happy, right? Robbie, I heard your single, your Christmas single on Magic, FM, which I think is the hallmark of a classic already if it's been banged out of magic. Is anything you want to say about it? What prompted to write it? I know you referenced coronavirus it and stuff like that. Was you already planning on doing that? Or did you sort of...

No, I wasn't planning on doing that. And then I was made to you by my wife. Ah. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was August. And there's a song on the album called Bad Sharon and me and Tyson Fury sing on it, right? Yeah. And like there's, there's Roj Stewart on there, Brian Adams on there, Jamie Cullen, a bad, and a few other people. And the thing that got people's attention was this song. You know, it was the Tyson Fury song. It got the most streams, the most watches on YouTube. And I was just like, oh well, if I put out the Christmas album this year, I'll just release that.

And then my wife told me otherwise. Because we were in Italy and she was like, you're going to put out of the Christmas album. I said, of course. She said, what are you going to do? I said, no, you're not. You're going to I am. And like, there's a Luke that ID gives me where it's like, I'm not going to win this argument. And I'll have to relent. She actually wrote part of the lyric and gave me the song title and went, now she's going to write that. So, you're missing a trick if you don't write about right now and what's happening on the planet and I was just like, oh God, okay, let me go do it. So it did.

Well, I just felt like as the protector of Christmas and the Christmas spirit, I felt like Christmas is going to take a fucking beating this year. Yeah. If we don't have something to stand behind because everyone's feeling sad, we're all separated from our loved ones. This has been a weird, shitty, fucking year for all of us. And like how do we, how do we, how do we overcome this like horrible thing that's happening and still feel like this festive spirit and this joy in our hearts because we need that. We really need something to hold on to that feels uplifting and like I kind of thought it was that moment in August it was like, are we going to lockdown for Christmas? Do you think they'll let households merge? You know what I just like, I'm 9,000 miles away from my mom and I can't hug her or

touch her, you know, so for me, and she's fighting cancer, it's like for me, this pandemic and these restrictions and how far we are from our loved ones, like you can't stop Christmas. Like whatever it is, we've got, it gets to happen no matter what. And I just felt like there was this real moment to be positive about things and the most impassioned Christmas plea. He's like, all right then.

Yeah, you can't. So the end of miracle on 34th Street that kind of. But it was, you know, I think it's been a weird, I mean it's not I think it's been. It's been a a weird tough year. It's all all suffering on different levels, you know, and it was just like, fuck, we gotta, we gotta open the door for Santa and some mistleto and rinders and joy because, because otherwise, you know, I don't know, I don't know how we end this year without, we gotta have some hope. It's gotta be some sort of Christmas miracle vibe.

Will you be listening to the song on Christmas Day as a family? I'm a fully blown narcissist, so I will have'll have Nebworth on on the television And I will have my own album on in the background this week Of course what's gonna happen.

Ida and Robbie Williams and Robbie Williams, how would you say it? Ida Williams plus one I'd call Robbie Williams though, would you say it? Ida Williams plus one, I'd call them. Yeah. But, uh, plus I'm bloke in the bed.

That was funny, probably Williams and stayed in bed. When was the last time you got up at midday, Rob? Oh, I think, I think probably, it'll probably due to some illness. It wouldn't have just been, you know, when I'm on tour and I'm in hotel, when I'm in hotel rooms, I will lay in bed all day if I can get away of it. Because I will try, but I'll always, obviously I'm tight enough that I need to go down for breakfast to get my money's worth, but also I will always, now naturally my body clock is, I'm worried it's ruined forever. You know like when, I don't know, it's just something now now I've ruined my body clock because I'm now never going hard I try. Well, I now go to bed about half 10, which is too early, considering what my job should be. You're not gonna believe this.

I was in bed last night at 9 p.m. Right, so that, look, this is not good for us because we've got to go back on tour, just the second half starts at nine. So I'm now no good at getting up early and no good at staying up late. No, no, do you know what happened last night? Yeah, I, last night, I, we tried to watch a Poirot episode. Gee, how old are you? A hundred, but like, it was basically part of the tree and I was like, I want to watch something

Christmasy. Fair enough. Yeah, let's watch a poiro. I got half an hour in, I was like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I hour in, I was like, I'm gonna have to finish this off tomorrow.

The Harris of Apollo and I'm stood there side of the stage watching Lady Gaga sing and Robbie Williams is standing stood next to me and he goes are you a spender or a saver. It's

He's just hilarious. He should stop bursting in as well if the door's locked, Alan. Yeah, exactly. But he just, he just, he just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's just, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's the the the, he's they.

If I was laying topless my bed, someone ring the police. He's on proper shows. He's on Zoe Ball Toplus. Now that is a daily mail headline. That was great, I hope you enjoyed it guys. Yeah, we won't wrap it on because let's be honest. The headliners have left. Oh yes. And also, hello to anyone that saw the headlines in the newspaper and come to this episode from that. Yeah, you can check out the other episodes.
