Starting point is 00:00:27 The forward government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year. If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government. Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools.C.A. 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,
Starting point is 00:01:15 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. Rob, yes. to merry Christmas. Oh, Merry Christmas, Josh. What a year? What a year?
Starting point is 00:01:43 Now this was pre-recorded on the 21st. So if they've dropped all the restrictions for Christmas, it's going to be a very strange podcast. Yeah. But I'm guessing Christmas is as expected. Yes, it's going to be either no food or too much food. I think that's the only option. Exactly. Can I let you know about what starter I've got for Christmas Day dinner. So I've bought seafood platters on an order that I put in way before all this happened. I'll just say you know Rob, Jelly Deals is not a seafood platter. Well I've got some prawns and nice little salmony bits for seafood for seafood
Starting point is 00:02:15 to starter and I've got it for eight. So I'll be eating that because those eight people aren't allowed around and Lou doesn't eat seafood or the children so I've got a seafood plight of a eight to get through over Christmas yeah we've got a turkey for six I don't eat turkey my daughter will hardly touc touc it now the number in our house is dependent on something Rob oh go on talk to me so what's happening because Rose's mom is in a support bubble with us yeah but I have got a cough Rob. Oh so you've got symptoms. How coffee is it? So yesterday got symptoms Sunday morning. What just a just a cough or a temperature? Uh not a temperature to be honest I've got a sore throat rather than a cough. You can hear I've got a sore throat. Yes. Anyway Rose hasn't the th. Rose th. Rose has th. Ro's th. Ro's th. Ro's th.

Anyway, Rose hasn't been feeling very well. So and then my daughter also needed some cow pollen and we were like right.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh dear. So then went on the NHS website Rob. The nearest test was Ramsgate, 75 miles away. And it's quite quiet on the roads Rondover, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. So then went and looked to see if I could get any private one. Yeah, no, not on a Sunday. the th. Oh. Oh. Oh, the th. Oh, th. Oh, no. Oh, no, no, th. Oh, no, the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to to to to to to thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 th. the the the. the. the. the. the. the. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So, thooooo. So, th it? Yeah, exactly. So then went and looked to see if I could get any private one. Yeah, no, not on a Sunday. So I went back, all the Ramsgate one are gone. Oh no. Oh no. So booked in a private one for Monday, which is when we're recording this. Went back on later.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Yeah. Some were available six miles away. In the time it took me to fill in my name and details, the appointments are gone. Oh no God. It's like they are like Buzz Light Years that year that that was the Christian credit. It's like a COVID test and a PS5. Yeah, exactly. Okay, right. So what's the situation? Because it was all three of us. I knew they were going to go and I was filling in all three details I was thinking, do I just do I just not get Rosa test because she's the least likely to have it because she has symptoms aren't as bad but I put all three of us in the end I managed to get us a test 25 miles away in Tilbury. I tell you where it is Rob I'll give you an idea it was in the car park of a ferry port. Oh look oh god i remind I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the 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 they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th th thi.

I have their symptoms. I their symptoms. I have their symptoms. I have their symptoms. I have their their symptoms. I have their their idea. It was in the car park of a ferry port. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Don't remind I live in London. I was on the coast. You're driven to the sea. I've driven to the sea. And not in a lovely Christmas trip way. Oh my God. Do you know what they've got, that is a good, we've worked this out, this is what we could do with the kids when they get tired and angry because they will not nap, we're just going to drive for an hour until they fall asleep and they drive back. Well she fell asleep on the way there, yeah. She fell asleep. It's the only way to get a nap out of them and then you get a break because that's thip. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they're all all all all all all all all they're all all they're all they're all they're all. they're all they're all. they're all they're all they're all they're all they're all they're all they're all. they're all. 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're they're they're they're they're they're their. they're their. their. they're their. their the. tip. tip. they're all. tip. tip. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. they're all. So, they're they're they're they to Rose on the way back, in a way, this is a Christmas, we will never forget.
Starting point is 00:05:06 This is like we're making memory. And I thought yesterday, I thought, I'm never gonna forget this journey for the rest of my life. This is like one of my big Christmas memory, the time I drove to a port on Sunday before Christmas, to get three of us tested for COVID. It should be a lockdown period and held pilgrimage to the Tilbury ferry pool. And at some point you have to drive there and listen to an episode out of respect to the week you add, Josh.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Just to the podcast. So we get in the car, we drive there, my daughter falls asleep. While she's asleep, it's only a 40 minute journey, but it's you know, it's a long way. While my daughter's asleep, we convince ourselves that we haven't got it, it's fine. Yeah, but like you know when you're trying to talk yourself back into it? Yeah, and then, because we've just come out of a 10-day lockdown four days ago. And now you're in two four times? So also we were the the thoenterms, we were the the their their thoes, we were their th. th. th. th. thirty, we were thirty, we were thirty, we're thirty, we're thirty, we're th. tho, to, tho, to to that, that, that, that, tho, tho, to thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoes, tho, thoes, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, to, to, to, to, to-a. to-a. toe. toe. toe. to-a. that, that, So also we were discussing like one of the better options would be all three of us have it because then it's seven days. The worst thing is if one of us has it and the other two don't, the one that has it has only got to do seven days and the other two
Starting point is 00:06:16 have got to do 10 days. Oh it's almost like you're willing your child to have it at this stage. Well. Well. Well. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It. It's th. It. It. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thee. the. the. the. thee. the. the. the. the. the. the. this stage. Well she'd be the worst one to have it because obviously then she'd be able to go out for three days and we wouldn't. So the ideal scenario Rob is that I've got it. Well the ideal scenario is neither of them none of us got it. That would be the ideal scenario. Yeah, yeah. Looking back actually you're right. The best scenario is no one's got an ideal world. we' thinne. to their to to to to their. to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to their, their, to to their, to their, Rob. to to their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob. their, Rob.

We're like, we'll get the test, but it's going to be good news. And then my daughter wakes up and the first thing she says is, Daddy, I can't stop coughing. Oh God. And I thought we're in travelier, mate. Now, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:01 At the time of recording, tha,the results today or tomorrow. I don't know whether we've got them. Okay. I should also add before we carry on. I'd love a text on air, a live text message. Oh, yeah. I'd love, we've got three text as well. So, so they're three separate texts. So it's like, it's like, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, that text is going to be so tense to open isn't it? It's going to be like getting your A-levels or something.
Starting point is 00:07:30 But anyway, I'm also sat here knowing that this private test guy is going to come round because I try to phone up to cancel him. Oh right. And I was 47th in the queue on the phone call. I was like, fuck this. I'll just tell him that I've got a test when he turns. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. he he turns he he turns he he turns he he he he he he he he he he he he he he is he is tha tha tha tha is tha is tha tha tha that I's that I's that I's that I'm going that I's going that I'm going that I'm going that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I'm that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's that I's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. te. te. thr-I's going try is going th. the. thr-I's going the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th fair. I mean at this stage it's just a right off, I mean I've got vouchers for different airlines and ferry crossings coming up my ass at the moment I've got to use at some point. I mean that won't be what ruined Christmas. Anyway so we get there you have to go in have you have you been to Tilbury Ferryport COVID testing center? No, what's it like? It's like something from 28 days later but in a way 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 that that that that that that that that's that's that that's like that's like that's that's that's that's that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that's that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like. that's like. that's like. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's quite reassuring, do you know what I mean? My mate went for a test with his husband. And they went in there next to the scrape the back of the throw and then his husband did him and it came out and it was all like black and he was like, oh my God, what is wrong with him? How bad is it like that? And his husband shrinks him, I think that's the Oreo I have. The smashing Oreos in the queue for a COVID test. But it's quite reassuring that it's kind of military precision the way it's done.
Starting point is 00:08:31 You know what I mean? So you pull up, they give you your three tests and then you have to go and park up. You have to go and reverse. They're like, can you go and reverse park over there? I was like, come on mate, I can't reverse park at the best of times. I've got, I might have COVID, give me a chill. I'm like, oh, COVID. And then you have to all sit in the car, do the tests yourself, obviously, and then you have to put on your hazard lights. Okay, yeah. Obviously I don't know where my hazard light button is Rob.
Starting point is 00:08:57 I love the way. For the thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoze thoe thoo tho to tho tho to th. to tho to to tho to to to to to to to tho tho to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to all to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. the th. the tho. the tho. the thooooooooooooooooooooo. thoooooooooooooes. toe. toe. to to to to to to to tho. the way, for you, the COVID tested, the most stressful bit is the reverse park and the hazard. Of course, of course, I was bleeding hugely out of my depth in the hazard light. Anyway, so we do it. Do you know, the kids only have to do the nose, you have to do the mouth and the nose. You must have done one for like, yeah, yeah, I've done the mouth. I'm bad with a mouth because I'm yeah as you know Rob I've got quite a bad gag reflect that sounds like a strange strange evening we've had you keep it quiet. But it was fine got it done she didn't have as bad a time with it as I thought she was actually all right with it which then makes you go
Starting point is 00:09:37 did we shove it up the nose far enough but it's too late by that point shouldn't she be in more pain anyway anyway then luckily the guys the guy the guy the guy the guy the guy the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the the the the th. th. the the th. I the. I the. I the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to the. to to to to the. to the. toe. the. the. the. the. I's the. I's the. that point. I'm like, shouldn't she be in more pain? Anyway, then luckily the guys next to us put on their hazards, so I used that opportunity to just wave at the guy in front of us. Oh, so you still don't know where your hazards are, but you just jumped off the back of someone else's their hazards as a way to, and then then gave him the test and then he walked away and then he stopped as I was pulling away and he came back and he was like can you wind down your window? I was like, are you Josh Whitakam? I was like, yeah, and he was like, I genuinely thought I was going to get in serious trouble or something I'd done something wrong. I actually did ask him how to turn my hazard lights on which so I now know. How on earth does he know more about your car than you do? Well, what it's a little logo. Yeah it's the big red button in the middle of the dashboard. Yeah the main the main one what did you think? I presume that was a jectacy.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Oh the funny thing is you're not doing that for effect. I know how little you care about cars or know about cars. To the point where you just you almost get in whenever you get in your car You sort of just sigh like oh I've got to do this again have I A car. So anyway that's the situation we're in Rob but I'll be honest with you I don't need to be locked down until basically new year that would be a heartbreaker. Yeah, that would be I mean but also there is literally nothing to do apart from the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. thi. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to to to to to to to th. to th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ta. the ta. the the ta. ta. ta. try. try. try. try. toe. toe. the. to do apart from the going out for a nice walking exercise makes a difference but the parks are so wet also the parks are so busy that the mud is outrageous it's like is your how's your local park is that muddy? No no Rob. Oh yeah you've not been there for ages? Don't know Rob I was locked down for 10 days then my daughter went to nursery for three days and now
Starting point is 00:11:19 I'm locked down again so I literally haven't had the opportunity opportunity the opportunity the opportunity the opportunity the opportunity the opportunity the opportunity the opportunity to go to the park since, since basically, do you remember the announcement that Christmas wasn't cancelled? Yeah, that was about a week after the last time I went to the park. That's how long ago the park was. Oh, there's too much got on there. I'm going to say it Rob while I'm feeling festive. Oh, yeah. This is the most Christmas special special special ever, is the most the the Christmas?, but is there such a thing as too much magic FM? Can I say something here? I liked magic Christmas to station. I also wanted magic on its own. I feel like you need magic and magic Christmas. There's too much magic Christmas. Do you mean? I need a normal non-Christmasy magic level of song. It's too much. I told Ild Rose this would happen but when she put on Magic Christmas from about November the 25th.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh man. Do you know, obviously there's a lot of people we should think about at this tough time, but I think top of it should be the DJs on Magic Christmas. Imagine. Oh, Ron and Ron and Keene just sat there doing breakfast. They're only allowed they're only allowed, I think they're only allowed to talk about Christmas from November. And they're only allowed to play Christmas songs. This must be some kind of living nightmare.
Starting point is 00:12:32 You know that they've been taken hostage by St. Ida. Yeah, it's just unbelievable. They must just close their eyes at night and just hear Chris Rear's driving home for Christmas. Oh, da da da da da. Oh, man. Not alive. What does Possible sound like for your business?

Josh, any other news from your week or your Christmas? I've got lots of news. So we should talk about bikes, Rob. Also, it's quite hard to talk about what you do for Christmas when literally every half hour what you can do changes. Because the plan would be now to go, oh, so what you're doing, Josh, and you tell me about
Starting point is 00:13:55 your day, but the thing is, we don't even know what our day is anymore, because I'm saying, I've got all this seafood platter, but it may not turn up the pool shut. I might not have any food. Do you know what, Rob, I don't want to worry you, but they seem to be sharing it out in Tilbury Port when I was there yesterday. They had a seafood platter that they said they'd got off the back of a lorry coming in from France. So we had this discussion early thisthis week Rob about about bikes so so we've got my daughter a bike and we bought one with pedals and one with stabilizers one with stabilizers one with stabilizers one with stabilizers we bought her a unicycle which I thought
Starting point is 00:14:33 was a gamble but you know they bought like a bike with stabilizers a cliastics a classic balance bikes the the the so I didn't know about balanced bikes until about three months ago they's bike. The balanced bikes, the... So I didn't know about balanced bikes until about three months ago. They're awful. When I saw a kid on it, and I just presumed his dad had put the bike together wrong. Well, they're little ones with no stabilizers, but the kids' feet toucest touch the floor and it's got no pedals. It gets them used to being on a bike, right? My daughters hated them and never went on it and just was like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:15:08 And then we ended up getting them the stabilizer pedal bike. But I've noticed the only people that are good at balance bikes, are lunatic kids. That like, if you just gave them a will, they're insane. They're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. their, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their, their. their, their. their. to. to. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. too. too. too. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, toe. toe. toe. their. their. They're insane. They're apparently they make you learn a bike in half the time. But so when I found out that that statistic, someone texted me that said you should get a balance bike. I suddenly went into an absolute spiral and thought, oh God, should I have bought a balance bike? So I spoke to you about it. And you said your daughters hated them. And I think, I know that my daughter, she wouldn't, the moment it was like difficult,
Starting point is 00:15:48 she'd just be like, this is rubbish. Also, they're saying they can learn to ride a bike in half the time. What's the rush? Exactly. What kid is like, it's not like they've got a job riding a bike somewhere. Like, do you know, post? She is going to become a paper boy next year. Yeah, exactly. So like, in half the time, okay, so what does it normally take? What, like, a month? That's what you're learning two weeks?
Starting point is 00:16:09 This is the thing with it. And so we've stuck with the one with pedals. I've got to build it on Christmas Eve, actually, but I'm pretty confident, Don't talk to me about the trampoline mate. Where do you stand with it? Can I let you into a secret? Sometimes, because this show's done, it's done pretty well, we're going to talk about this later on as well. It's done quite well with downloads and stuff. Sometimes you get people from companies that go, hey, we can offer you this if you give
Starting point is 00:16:35 a shout out or something. It's like a, they, they send handyman, you can book a handyman basically. And said like, hey, we heard you talk about champoline. We do their PR, we can help sort it out. And I was like, no, I don't want to do that. I want to do it properly. And I don me and to be really helpful thanks, really gutless because I don't normally get involved in all that but I panicked right email back out the office to the fourth of
Starting point is 00:17:14 January and I screamed fuck in the air really there. There's nothing worse than giving in is there and giving up and the the to meet in defeat in defeat in defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat defeat the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. I the the the their. I'm their. I'm, their. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, their, I'm, I'm, the their. I I their, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I I I I, I I I I, I I I, I, I, I I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to the the the the the the th. I'm not th. I'm not th. I'm not th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thean. I'm th. I'm the. I'm to there and giving up and the admitting defeat but they're not actually being able to benefit that. No of course of course so where are you with it what will you have done last night as we as people prepare the rotatos it's Christmas Day okay at the moment right we're recording this on the Monday the plan is I've ordered some ratchets I was told I need ratchets I've got some gloves they're not really workman gloves, but I don't really know what they are, but they're like sort of road man gloves, night ones, a little like trinny bits. So I've got some gloves, I've got a ratchet, I'm on my own. I'm going to try and build it a couple of days before Christmas Eve before Christmas, I've got a little side alley. Right, yeah, yeah. I'm going to the legs on. Okay yeah right so let's
Starting point is 00:18:05 see yeah yeah and the legs probably the easy bit right the bit that's difficult is the is the kind of the springy bit. Yeah and it's only an eight footer so it's a lot smaller but this and this is I've actually had some great info and feedback there's a lot of names says there a lot of people there say you can do it in a couple of hours. The key I think is a ratchet to help with the springs, I've got that. Gloves so your fingers don't get hurt. I've got that. And the other key thing is you attach the springy bit at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, rather than going around 12. Yeah, 1, 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 going that's that's going. that's that's going. that's that's that's that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that's. And that's. And that's. And that's. And that's. And that's th. And th. And th. And th. And th. th. the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. than two hours Rob. Just a bit of fun. Just a bit of fun. I think 12 in our last checks. But basically if you go round doing it all in order then it's too tight at the end. So you need to just sort of do the top and the sides in the bottom and then do the edges. This is the confidence of someone who's read a lot about it. Do you know when I've seen this confidence before, when I thought all I need to do
Starting point is 00:19:05 when I have a baby is stroke their nose. So it's Monday night I'm going to pick it, it's currently in the garage of the in-laws. I'm going to pick it up and have a look at it this afternoon and work it out and I'm going to attempt to build it one day this week. Because, very exciting. Because all my plans have stopped. I was supposed to having people over Christmas Eve that aren't that isn't happening and so there's plenty of time. Plenty of so. That is one thing we've got this week. It's plenty of time. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yes. Um, I should tell you about, I did a reading I take charity Carol service Rob. Oh you're such a great guy aren't you? Wow, I wouldn't, that's not the reason I tell you. I think it was a disappointing return to live performance from me Rob. Oh why? I got absolutely blown off stage by all the other readers. Who else was reading? I'm not gonna lie Rob. It was stiff-nec central mate.
Starting point is 00:19:59 It was like an osteopas waiting room Rob you wouldn't have believed it. So it was a charity and what do you do there? So everyone was doing a reading and then was carols it was it's a for a brain tumor charity. So was it virtually or was it? No no it was in a socially distanced because churches obviously are still, place of worship people open? So it was like a socially distance and it was also being broadcast live on whatever. Okay, so who was there? So proper actors that have got OBE at the end of their name.
Starting point is 00:20:36 People like Penelope Wilton Robb, so the mom, she's been Shaw or the dad. Can I just say something, okay? There's thinnecks. I've got friends of mine mine the thiilteeeeyseysea thiilt you thiilt you thiilt you thiilt you thia 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 they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to together to together together together to together together theeateateeateateeateate. thi. thi. thi. thi. Can I just say something, okay, there's nothing with being a stiffneck, okay? I've got friends of mine of stiffnecks. It's just the way you're built, you can't change it. So I'm not, I think most of your friends with stiffnecks, Rob. I think that's the... Yeah, that's the thing. It's not, it's not derogatry, a stiffneck, but it's just a good way. It's just the the th. th. th. th. It's just th. It's just a the th. It's just a th. It's just a th. It's just a the way. It's just a the way. It's just a th. It's just a the way. It's just a the way. It's just a th. It's just a the way. It's just a th. It's just a th. It's just the way. It's just the way. It's just the way. It's just the way. It's just the way. It's just just just the way.

It's just the kind kind kind the reason for the name. Yeah, I'd say you dabble. You're not full stiff neck and you're not full sort of loose neck. Who do you know that isn't a stiff neck in comedy? Who is it? Who isn't a stiff neck in comedy?
Starting point is 00:21:14 Paddy McGinnis is the least stiff neck person. He's king of the loose neck, the king of the loose necks paddy right? King of the loose and he's great at it and stuff like that. So how loose is your neck Rob? Do you know what it's loose it's loosey-goosey but if it is on a two to three out of ten one being loose and being stiff. Yeah I'm on two three pad 10 on the stiffnecks, because he's just, everything's planned and prepped and it's, you know. It's the opposite of an owl, isn't he? Yes, exactly. He don't know what's going on, what's going on. But he knows what's going to. the stiff. He knows what's happening straight ahead stiff neck central. Lots of, lots of, lots of actors. Lots of actors, actors, a lot of actors are stiffnecks, because they have to be, because
Starting point is 00:22:10 you have to know the script. Accountant is a stiff, but that's what you want from an accountant. Do you I need to stiffetting. You to great year. It was a bad year. That was a mistake. It was a mistake. And you know, sure, I didn't earn much, but I just thought he could do it. But he had a lot on. He was doing Phoenix nights. It was too much for him. Exactly. Anyway, it was smart casual. I wore trainers, which I was the only person wearing trainers Rob. Yeah, yeah, yeah, see. 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 a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. that's. that's. th. that's. that's. that's. that's. that. the. thing. I bet there's a few blazers, weren't there? And Chino's. Right, so then, so I did my reading, which was, I'm going to say, I counted up the words, 23 words. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Everyone else's was like two pages long. My thirty-three words. I had to go slow just to kind of the thing with actors sometimes, I think I don't only just talking, but when they do do something, they do do it. I'm like, whoa, man, that was a reading. This stiffnet's reading the shit out of that paper. I couldn't believe how well they were reading these words. I can't believe someone could say a word that way. Yeah, it was just like, it was such a roller coaster. So they were they they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were the their. It was like. It was like, I I th. It was like, I th. It was like, it was like, it was like, it was like, it was like, it was just like, it was like, it was like, it was like, it was such, it was such, it was such, it was. 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. the. the. the. the. the. thea. the thean. thean. thean. thean. the thean. thean. thean smashing these words right yeah I was like
Starting point is 00:23:25 bloody I just read out 23 words in a kind of monotone and then went and sat back down in my bloody trainers right so they were all amazing and obviously it's in a church right so it's all in your head so obviously there's not a reaction reaction and then Jason Leonard was one of the readers the the most capped England rugby player of all time apparently according to the blurb, right? I doubt that because I'm just having to Google him. Oh, he's old though. He's an old before my time. Most cap.
Starting point is 00:23:51 He was in the world of cup winning team of 2003. Was he? He looks about 100. He's 52. Say that to his face, Rob. joke I, at last, someone who's not a bloody stiff neck. Oh, right, so you've got something like, you know, that you'd be your level kind of delivery style, yeah? Do you know what he did?
Starting point is 00:24:12 I've never seen it before. He got, he got an applause break. Oh, go on, Leonard! He absolutely smashed it. What did he do? He did like a funny reading and it got an applause break. Oh you got jealous of Leonard. I got absolutely destroyed by Jason Leonard, mate. Do you know what, the rugby public speakers, might be a gig with Martin Johnson, right? A massive gig with Hagrid, like the stunt level for Hagrid in at Harry Potter. But my, Martin, massive, but that's six for eight, six for nine.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I followed him at corporate once, he absolutely ripped it. It was mainly about the size of Dixie changing rooms, but that is funny, and he absolutely smashed it, and I went on and tired of me a ass talking about like Peter Bread and Cuscus. You know what, I've had that, mate. I once got absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely that that that that that that the that that the that that the that, I the the that, I that, I their. I once got absolutely blown off the stage at a corporate act because I couldn't follow William Hague. He'd have nothing in the room. He'd absolutely destroyed it. That Peter K in the early days. It was too good. Too good.
Starting point is 00:25:17 You can't expect me to follow William Hague. What did he do? What did Hague do? So he just told like anecdotes. Obviously he's a public speaker. Yeah, yeah. I mean it was a kind of, you know, bit of my comeuppance for the four years that we all laughed at him for being a terrible public speaker, etc. And then he can rip a corporate mate when it's full of old men in suits. So what did it make you feel a bit like you miss doing stand stand to you couldn't do it or how did this reading make you feel then? How did it make me feel? I was relieved it was short. Do you know what? It was nice. It was lovely evening because obviously it was very festive. There was lots of good carols and stuff. Rob. If I go back next year I'm going to put in two months of prep. Oh yeah but also as well it's one of them things it's just like getting the rust off and you only had 23 words you couldn't relax into it. Once comedy clubs open and we can do
Starting point is 00:26:11 all the previews will you'll be flying again. People are going to be like why is trust going to all these clubs to it's been a massive break and things like that from here. And obviously when you first start doing it, you're a bit rusty and you've forgotten a few little bits of the show and then once you go and do the comedy circuit and you do a couple of working progress is previous to get back into the swing of it, before before the tour show start. Before you know it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, it's up, to to to to to to to to to be, you're, to to to to to to their, you're, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, you're, you're, you're, their, you're, you, you, their, their, their, their, their, and you're, and you're, and you're a their. And, and you're a their. And, and you're a their their their to their their their their their thi. And, and I's a tho, th thrown. And, th th th toooooooooooooomorrow, and tooomorrow, and tooomorrow, and their their their their th sort of like, knowing the show, as you would in the middle of a tour, you gain from, we are gonna be so excited to get that buzz again. And I just think live entertainment and music gigs and comedy shows are gonna be so good. Because sometimes as a performer, when you're so busy, it does turn into your nine to five,
Starting point is 00:26:58 like I'll go here for a show, and you enjoy it and you do a good show, but sometimes you cannot enjoy it properly and be in the moment. But I think when the show's come back, everyone's going to be so up for it that the performers are just going to be giving it so much. Do you know what I mean? I do hope so, Rob. I'm froffing at the mouth like a dog. You might need to be unbearable. I did that. I'm doing a Sleps go dating voice over because that's coming back in
Starting point is 00:27:33 January right and I was so way Linnockers they basically put all in a you're not a three on the stiff-nex scale you're a two maximum Rob. You, so I was so excited about that about Wayne Linnaker being back in and all this whole, I was like, they went, Rob, can we really do that first bit? You're so excited. We can't actually hear what you're saying and I was like, welcome back! So it's a day in Wayne Linneka. Oh, well, there's a good idea. Joe Lyser has painted me a picture of Wayne Linica. That's now. Well, well, they're th. 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, 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, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob.

Now, what are your plans Christmas Day? I thought I'd tell you what I'm eating for Christmas Day, Rob, because I thought you'd
Starting point is 00:28:11 right enjoy that. Yeah, so you've got some turkey. Turkey. So do you want to guess what my veggie Christmas dinner is Rob? You know, I just thought. So you're going to have all the trimmings, you'll have all the veg and gravy. Yeah, no, I'm not not the gravy, but I'll have the, I'll have the spuds. Why won't you have the gravy? Well you'll see what my main is. Okay, so I have all the the the the the trimmin trimmin the trimmin trimmin trimmin the trimmin trim. So trimmin trim. So trim.

Starting point is 00:28:53 Hello? Josh, you can't do that. I can. Do you know what? I'll be preparing it as people listen to this. Do you know what? I'm actually considering not doing this podcast anymore. That's, that is insane. One, you can't have vegetable lasagna Christmas Day at all, not acceptable. Why not? Because it's not, because you can't eat that with stuffing and gravy.
Starting point is 00:29:17 You know what I've been looking forward to why, this is true obviously, but I've been looking forward to telling you. So what's Rose having? Is she a veggie? No, she 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 is. that is. that is. that is. that is. that is. that is. that is. that's.

No, it's because we thought we had six. thooo's six people coming over.
Starting point is 00:29:32 to tell you get eight to 10. Right, right, right, right. Sandwiches later, you're too prescribed. But no, you can't have, no, but Josh, right, first of all, you cannot add vegetable lasagna with the trimmings, it doesn't go. It does not go. It does not go. It doesn't go. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't.

It does. Okay, it doesn't. Do you want to tell me? No one's ever put gravy on the train you? Do you know what? They said that no one would ever replace the chuckle brothers.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I'm going to send your photo Rob. I'm not happy about this. This is. It's actually upsetting me slightly. Is it? Yeah. Well, it's just like, you can't just, what's the point? Rob, you're eating fish for eight on your own? Yeah, I know, but that's not my fault, is it? That's the fucking mutant strain that's forcing me to do that where it's gold. Maybe you just spend more chance to get food poisoning than COVID. Just have the trimmins, you the the the the the the the the the the thrimmins, you the thrimmins, you trimmins, you thrimin thrimin, you thrimin, you the the thrimin, you the the their their their their you're eating thrivings, you're eating.

I understand vegans are vegetarian. Just have the trimmings then. You don't need to have. The trimmings are boring. Have you ever had a nutloaf? It's rubbish. What exactly? Eat meat then. Rob, Rob, Rob. Yes. Why don't you get a fake meat?
Starting point is 00:30:57 Tofu? tofu? tofu so boring Rob. This way you get cheese is the best bit of food. I mean I'll be honest I thought you'd take it badly but I didn't think you take it this badly. I know they're boring the trimmings Josh but then that's how life works. You don't just like have something on top of it like you. Everyone else is torturing themselves Rob. I'm innovating. I'm like hest on Blument. I'm the cheese. the cheese the cheese the cheese the cheese. I'm just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like.

I's just just just just just just just just just. I's just just. I's just just just just just. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm th.

I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like. I'm like in the... Yeah, yeah, because I'm not vegan. So you're allowed normal cheese, okay. So have normal cheese and then what's just, what's in it? Just sort of like tomato saucy stuff and herbs? So, so you've got the the two levels,
Starting point is 00:31:34 the Blemonshire rules. And then... Yeah, we've got a trade deal yet. I don't know what we can and can't use. We've got to call it white sauce and all the trade deals free. So then we've got the the tomato sauce which also contains your mushrooms, your corjettes, your onions, your garlic Yeah, Josh, don't get me wrong. I love a vegetable lasagna as much as I love a meat lasagna. I don't, I think you don't need the meat in it really. It's sort of people like that, that's fine. I love a vegetable lasagna. What I'm saying is, it's not festive and it doesn't go with the trimmings.
Starting point is 00:32:14 You can't, where would the gravy go? to bread sauce. Oh my God, you're a monster. I think it's that weird sort of like cornish in you that makes you this kind of stuff. I've never done, this is that, I mean you know that that's basically right. I'm just trying to get you as angry as I was about lasagna but pretending you're cornish. I've written it down and I thought I'm going to bring this up towards the end because I don't want to ruin the rest of the podcar. I'm just really, really not on board with that Josh to be honest. I don't know if we're supposed to be doing some emails about Christmas but I don't think we'll think we need them. No we don't. I think what we are going to do throw. We're going to do a little like New Year special
Starting point is 00:33:07 because we're going to have a couple of weeks break, aren't we Josh in January? Yeah, we're going to have a couple weeks break and then we're back in mid tothere's nothing, because normally it's like, oh, let her have a day off and we'll do something with her. There's nothing to do. So she's going four days a week now to preschool, which I sort of feel a bit guilty about, only for the first term and then hopefully lockdown. Are they're thea? And stuff, they're to to their pre pre pre pre pre pre. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, to to to have, to to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, their, their, their, their, their, to have, to have, to have, to have, to have, to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to.. to. to to to to to to to to to their., to to to th. to to to th. to to to their, their, th. the school days. So that's a... I know I quite like it to be honest like now they're older and stuff it's nice to spend more time with them I find. Oh yeah I'm not saying I don't want to spend time with them but the thought of it feels like what you are six weeks. Yeah but then you can't go on a holiday and do thinnews and stuff but yeah you can't I know you can't you read you read you read you read you read you read you read you you you you you you you to the to the to to the to to the to the to to the the to to to the to to the to to to to to to the to the the to the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the 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 try. time time time try. time time time I time I time I try. try to tho. they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're Let's talk about good news right? The good news is we've got an announcement, have we Josh? Yes, we have. We want to say thank you because do you want to let everyone know? How many, how many downloads have we hit Josh? We've hit 10 million downloads?
Starting point is 00:34:13 BROUS Which is a lot of downloads isn't it? So many downloads. Thank you so much. 10 million is an amazing achievement in seven months. Yeah, we can't quite, we've got lucky haven't we really Rob. Like, you know, where we haven't got lucky because we're obviously we're, we're, you know, we're keeping the nation afloat, we're all aware of that. But, um, no, we've, we genuinely didn't intend to be sat here doing a Christmas Day special announcing. We've got 10 million downloads. No. We just needed some kind of outlet in April. Yes. And so what has happened is genuinely made our year. Yeah, it's been a slightly better than shit. Yes, and it's right. I think it's a nice positive to come out of what is an awful situation and it's really helped me talking about, you know, kids and stuff on here. And I've learned so much from our listeners and I hopefully is you guys have got stuff from it and it's kept you busy for an hour or a couple of hours a week. I think. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I th.

Starting point is 00:35:07 know we were creating if you know what I mean. And I think and we really appreciate it when everyone says nice things about it or shouts at Rob when he's in drag that his trampoline situation is fucked. Either way we like it. What we want to do is because obviously it's been a very challenging year for lots of people and you know, we trivilized it and ultimately we're a very comfortable privileged position and it has been tough. Our job is to trivise.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yeah, exactly. Our job is to be a distraction. But there are people struggling a bit more.
