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,

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 you are listening to lockdown parent in hell with Josh Widdickam? Widdickam. Widdickam? Widicam? Widdickem? Rob Beckett.

Rock Bucking. Rockford. Josh Whitticam. Tell him. I'm enjoying this. Wow. That's a great start, isn't it? Well, the problem with this is sometimes,

when they, it's hard with children because that kid was a bit like Gremlin-ee with a voice, you would go, wow, what a weird sort of Gremlin voice then. But then I get worried in case you go, that's Sarah, and that's Sarah, and she's been a speech later talking. Yeah, see? They've been waiting for him to do his rendition for your names, and he didn't disappoint. That is from Emma Borders. Go on Emma. But am I allowed to talk about that?

Because I have to have speech therapy as a child. Is that like a thing where you could own it? Like Alex Brooker is allowed to had one leg, you'd know about it. If you have one leg, Rob, I wouldn't have a job, so... Winnacom's gone, if you had a good news of the bad news, Rob's lost the leg in an accident. Bad news, Josh, he's taking your spot on last leg. Josh, I am absolutely fizzing with life. Yeah, schools back.

We record this Monday, we dropped the kids off and one at nursery, one at school. Oh, it feels great. The vibe at the school gate was outrageous. Was it? Oh, it's just like people were buzzing. And then like, I went, I went, yeah, I went, you've an air, cut. I went, yeah, I did. I went, yeah, yeah, got my hairdresser

to do it. Oh, did you? And he walked off. And I was like, you shouldn't have to me that. I know, but I think the vibe of first day back got to him. He was sure. He didn't care anymore. People snogging at the school gates. It's like when the army people come back at the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the army, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. thi, thi, the, the, thi, you, you, the, the, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you. the, you, you. the, you, you. 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, you, you, you, you're, that, that, thin, thin, thin, thin, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thi. thi. the war wasn't it? It was just absolute bedlid.

And it feels like because the Harry and Megan soldiers, that's the word, soldiers. That's what they're called. Heroes I think you'll find they're called. I'm sorry, heroes. Yeah, thank you. But what I found was because of the Harry and Megan stuff is so huge. It's like COVID-A-Megin' stuff is that COVID. 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 their, their, their, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's that's, 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 soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, their soldiers, the first days. I've forgotten there's a pandemic. There's going to be a Harry and Megan spike. There might be a Harry and Megan. People all just want to talk to each other closely about Harry and Megan. And do you know what I found interesting from a parenting point of view on the podcast is out of all the stuff that's going on and all the scandal from the interview is that Prince Charles Charles doesn't return Harry's phone calls. How can you as a dad not do that? I mean like that beyond everything? Surely your relationship with your son, whether or not you're not on good terms but just not pick up the phone to your kid

and he hasn't really done anything that wrong, Harry, do you know? You may not agree with how he's operating as like oh they annoy me or, if that's what your opinion is, but ultimately as a person, is he still taking Prince Andrew's phone calls, but not Harry's? Do you mean? Who's he talking to? I don't think he's, I know, who's talking to Prince Andrews phone calls for quite a few years, judging by the crown. But then, do you watch the crown, Rob? No, I don't th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi? thi, that, that, that, that, that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, is thi, is thi, is that, is that, is that, is that. Is, is th. Is, is, is, is, is, is th. Is, is, is, is, is, is th. Is. Is. Is. Is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is th. Is, is th. Is, is thi? Is, is thi? Is thi? Is thr. Is thr. Is thr. Is thr. Is that? Is thr. Is that, is that, is that, is that? Is thr. Is that, is thr. Is happens. They're constantly not taking each other's phone calls. They come in with a phone on a pillow? Is that a thing? Well, they're doing the crown basically, but like, are they doing that now?

Or is Prince Charles got a mobile? Is he pho-aull? Is he'd be a mobile? Surely, they be allowed a mobile. I imagine the WhatsApp groups he'd be in. No chance. Anyway, Josh, how have you been? I am just, do you know what? I'll be honest with you, I had a terrible week, but today,

but today it's sort of all vanished. Yeah, it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to, to, to. It, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. No, to. No, no. No, no. No, no.

Sorry Josh. Let's do you first. No, let's do you first. I can't sit still Josh. I've got lots of boring stories, Rob. So let's start with the energy. Like taking a toddler to the park, let's burn you out a bit before we move on to my stories. Well basically I've had four coffees, there's a whole... Have you? Yeah, because I've been up early, getting the kids out, I've been watching Pears Morgan fell apart on the news. Trisha Goddard skewered him at the end and called him a bully. It's all been kicking off Josh. I can't, I can't keep up. Pears Morgan's, I've never really got over the fact Megam Markle wouldn't be his friend, does he? He really... Well, is that what they're saying because she'd bined him off? That's basically, he's kind of said that himself, but he's implied that that's not the real reason that he's really angry. We should move on from the Royals, but there is a very good cold war Steve that I saw that he's met.

Do you follow Cold War, St-Itah-I, there's a very good one of Piers Morgan in his bedroom made to look like a shrine to Megan Markle. Yeah, it is weird the obsession with her, isn't it? Anyway. Anyway, okay, let's get back to the week, Josh, right? Sorry about. So you got up, you've had four coffees. I'm flooded with Royal News. It's incredible.

I watched Good Morning, I don't think I could do that to myself. Yeah, oh mate, it was just like, it was up being on News Speed. And then I had to watch Lorraine for a come down, basically, that was sort of like the acoustic tent at Glastonbury, just to sort of get all the energy out of me. But I'm still absolutely... What have you done? I've just recorded an episode from mid-pandemic just to get me really riled up. Like an early Hancock interview. It's a really angry way to start the day, isn't it?

Good morning. I know, but I was so happy I had to calm myself down. That's why I sometimes listen to true crime podcast because I get too happy. Here we go, right. Let me change your shit week. Alright, okay, first of all, I've been getting trolled, okay? I want to say troll, but just dickheads on Twitter. I'm not going to say they are because I think it's unfair, but someone, right, twea, after I did an Instagram story about how dirty my car was, right?

Said, yeah, you're still dealing with the big issues. of content for this show. I don't know. It was just loads of crumbs everywhere and it was an outline, but it was on my stories, but I put it on my stories and someone did even reply to my stories because I've got that turned off. That's tweeted me, after seeing your Instagram about the back of your cart, the, the mess, three exclamation marks, how the hell is it that disgusting? I've got two children and it's spotless. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well.. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. the. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. I th. I the the their. I their.

I'm th. I'm th. I've got two children and it's spotless. Well, fucking good for you. Oh, it's spotless. Well done, well done you, but what else you're doing in your life? All right?

I've got other stuff going on, little miss clean car. Do you know who you sound like? You sound like Piers Morgan talk about Megamarker. Yeah, okay. that's that. thin. thoe. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thoe. than. than. than. thoe. thoooooooooooooooooooooes. thoes. tho. thooes. thoes. to to to to to to to to to to tho. to to tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. Well, well well well well. Well, well. Well, well. Well, well. Well, well. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. the. thoooooooooo. tha. tha. got another little nerd attack. Let's ponder on that one. How do you have a clean car? Well, they hoover. Because not you, how does one have a clean car with children? Are they not snacking? Well, what? I know. I've got two, they've got, she's got two kids as well, and I'm just like, all right, you have got a clean car. throwne. their. their. to. to. their. their. to. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. their. th. th. th. 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. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. te. te. te. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the t. Yeah. I took the approach of my car as a sacrificial lamb of a vehicle. I could not give a fuck about the cleanness of my car. Exactly.

It's basically, if you people that have dogs, the car's messy, or if you have horses, you accept that. And with children, I think you have to treat them like livestock. Except that they will ruin and everyone lives by that. But up until that point I will be throwing happy meals and pombeers at them to keep them shut up. I think that's fair isn't it? Yeah, I think the cleanliness of your car is is the least for your problems Rob if you're throwing happy meals throughout. I've got an absolute stiff neck on Twitter as well. I've got an absolute stiff. I've got an absolute stiff. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th.

I'm th. I'm th. I'm that. I'm that that thrown. I'm that throoooooooooooooooooo' the the the the the the this geyser. Well, I think that first woman's neck is pretty stiff. Surprise she's allowed to drive, she won't be able to check a blind spot. Sure it's clean, have you checked around the corners, stiff neck? I straight forward.

I don't know if it's a lady but it's got KSW and there's a picture of a sunflower and lose a lot of emogy so I'm just assuming 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 This one, listen to this stiffnet, right Josh. He's grasping me in to the podcast that we own with Michael Josh, right? You know, like normally you complain to Mott the Week, you're at What the Week? I think it's unfelt what that person said.

At lockdown parent, interested to listen to last week's episode, to hear that, Rob Beckett is showing his young children the Simpsons. At Disney Plus UK has it listed as a 12 plus and under adult animation content. Doesn't seem like the sort of thing to be endorsing. I say what, mate. I'll endorse what I want when I fucking want, all right? Why don't you give a shit what my kids are watching, you fucking nosy old b-there I said it and sack me. Sack me, sack me if you want.

I'm endorsing the Simpsons from my fucking kids because I can do whatever. All right, they're my kids to a certain degree. Were they espressos or were they, what coffee's worthy from? No, new maiden, but I think she wouldn't be to leave the house for a walk with too much energy. So I think that she might have upped them to, she might have left it on strong the old coffee machine.

Yeah, I don't know, it's more off a duck's back, isn't it for you? I mean, in between meditations, you see that kind of stuff and you don't let it get to you. So, but yeah, sorry if I've come in too strong, Josh, I just had to get it off my chest. It's fine, tho o o o you get abuse on Twitter? I don't, I've got fully hold my hands up. I don't read any of the comments on my Twitter.

So I don't know whether I am the victim of lots of abuse or not very much. But I'm genuinely interested. How much abuse do you get? Do you know what? the treat. it's like everyone gets a lot of abuse on Twitter and do you know what when it's me and like a TV shows that I've done or whatever I don't really care but for some reason because I pride myself on being a good person a good husband and a good dad so if they come for me about my kids I go into and we've spoken

about this before sort of dad rage where you know I nearly had a fight outside the school gates there is an element of it overtakes you doesn't. Yes, there's an element of my upbringing that I am not too far away from top soft fighting the street. I've tried to stay away from that side of my personality, but that does live warm. That's why you're on the diet, isn't it? Yeah, that is why. I've lost nine pounds, Josh. So you're almost ready for your topler street fight. About thi. th. th. th. I. th. I. I. th. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, to. So, to. So, to. So, to. So, to. So, to. So, to. So, I's. So, I's. So, I's. So, I's. So, I's. So, I's.

So a top of a street fight about what time of day I show my kids the Simpsons even though it's on at 6 p.m. on channel 4 which is technically pre-watered shit you're fucking nerdy prick. Sorry Josh how's your week because I'm getting I'm going mad. I think Josh I'm going to try and calm down now. You do seem to have burned yourself out now which is good I had a very stressful Sunday. I was. I th. just sort of... Oh was it? What happened on a Sunday?

Well, basically, because they're going back to school, the shoes situation, none of her school uniform sort of fits, but it's not so small she can't get away of it, but we don't even want to buy a new lot because she won't wear it for long enough to think. She needed new shoes, and then because my child's basically been ferral thial thial theal's theal's theal's the the the the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the's the and the and thease thease thease theaneded theateatheaa 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 thuu. thu. the. theathea. theateateateateateateatruuuu. toeateatruu. toeateatruooooomeateatheaa. Shea. Shea. Shea. She's sa feral for three months and just worn Wellington boots or slippers, every shoe is too tight. So we tried about 15 different pairs of shoes that were too tight and then it turned to his big thing. And then we tried to go to a park yesterday in a pair of her trainers and they were too tight as well and she cried and hobbled along the balance beams didn't tieare too too too too too too to too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to! And then when she got to the playground, run along the balance beams didn't care at all,

and then they wouldn't stop arguing and fighting, to the point when we were driving home, they were arguing so much, I just turned the radio on to fall and sang out loud for 15 minutes. Oh wow. To sort of drown, the Simpsons was the least of your problems. Oh yes, the least of the problems. Yeah, sure they keep saying, you know, eat my shorts. Could you imagine that?

Eleven-year-old saying, eat my shorts man? Oh my god. That'd be terrible, wouldn't it? It be so bad. The Simpsons is a 12. Chill out mate. There's a lot bigger things to worry about. Anyway, sorry Josh, I've burnt out now. We can crack on normally. No, you needed, you needed to get out your system. I think, I think the issue is, Josh, now it's turned into therapy. I at the moment am doing this podcast and I'm doing a lot of writing, which is very

reflective and internal, but you know me, I need to scream to buy a laptop for it. I just scream into the abyss on stage doing comedy and that's my outlet. I haven't had that now for a long time and I'm slowly going insane. From my own perspective, my life's going to be a lot less intense when you do have an audience. I've started to calm down because I can't play call a gamerute anymore because it's scary. I've started being a PC gamer. Oh no, what are you doing? Civilization? Zoos? Zoos? Zoos? I'm building zoos.

Oh Rob. It's a game where you can build zoos and animals. What is that like theme hospital or theme park or whatever? Yeah. Someone open up, someone open up the pubs. Please. Oh, God, yeah. Rob, you've done a year. It was the, we haven't said it was this week last year that it started.

What, the podcast? No, the lockdown. Oh, the actual pandemic. Sorry. Yeah, oh, was it? And it's taken a year to break you. Well do you know what? I feel like I'm at the best and the worst I've ever been. Yeah, do you know I'm at the best and the worst I've ever been. Yeah, I mean I feel good but also I think if I had an outlet I'd be fine. Have you ever seen the film falling down? Yeah, I have seen that. I think I am.

Okay, go on, what you're talking about? But I think we should have privileged to have privileged their privileged. privileged tract confessions. So is it like first world problem?

Yeah, that thing. But it's something that I was worried I was going to make the listeners hate me. Okay, so you're feeling like from your immediate ivory tower towar, you're worried that you may be judged. Should we call it ivory tower confessions? Ivered towards. Yeah, media elite. Ivory tower confessions confess confess confess confess confess confess confess confess confess confess confess conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf conf confessions?

Yeah, they warn you, don't they? Yeah, they warn you and it's really good if you go down the stairs at Covent Garden Tube because when you see the people coming up they look like they look like, they look like Sarano Fines. Yeah.

Yeah, they're theyrying to remember to take everything upstairs is one of the most high pressure pieces of parenting is doing my head and wrong. The only time I've had to deal with a lot of stairs is when we're in Edinburgh because a lot of the houses in Edinburgh are very high, aren't they? So I wonder if there's anyone that's got, I mean, we want some more ivory towar confessions, but also if anyone's got a longer commute 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, is a longer, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, their, their, their, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, is a lot, I......a, I.a, I.a, I.a, I's, I's, I's, their, I's, th.a, thi.a, thi.a. thi.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a, their, their, their, their, their, commute to their child's bedroom from the front room.

Oh mate, it's an absolute shocker. But then obviously when you're in bed and they wake up in the night it's less isn't it? Because you're the up. Yeah, so we're halfway there. Halfway up. You're like base camp for every. Yeah, yeah, we're basta. say in the morning, right? I used to go in when she wake up and then she'd say that she wanted, she had her vitamins, she has them in the morning, right? So I'd go down and get them. Now I've had to relocate them into a draw in her roommate

because there's no way that first thing in the morning I'm doing that journey. No, I think that's a good decision.

Like perimeter alarm. I just think I might just move her back into our bedroom. Have you thought about a pulley system down the stairs? I'm not Wallace and Gromit, mate. 35 stairs, Rob. 35 stairs. That is a lot of, that is, and that is something that is annoying but you no one will ever take seriously your care. No one, I understand you shouldn't have any pity for me and that but we've made a huge,

huge layout mistake in my opinion. Do you know what right? I've got one then I could do for you right? When we got a house done, ours was a wreck right so we had to get everything everything done and when they did it they did the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, the water, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I. I. I, I. We, I, I...... We, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I............... We, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too. Wea. Wea. We're, too. We're, too. We're, too, to. I'm. I'm. I'm, to. I'm water they sort of connected the water almost to the like a new type of connection to the main so that it came straight from the mains rather than going for this old system because it was a really old house and I would say the water pressure in my house is so fierce to the point it's unusable at times. Lou and I don't know I don't know if anyone's complained about too much pressure in a water pressure. Normally the argument of water pressure is there's not enough pressure.

It trials out. The pressure is outrageous. So the point where if we've got a bath, right, and the showers like on the bath, like it's hooked on it's not, and you can put it up in the area if you want or you just hold it over your head and like it's attached. So you switch the lever the lever. the lever. to to the lever. to to to to to the lever. to to to the lever. to. the lever. to. the lever. the lever. to. the lever. to. the lever. to. to. to. to. the toe. toe. the pressure. toe. the pressure, toe. the pressure, toe. the pressure, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the pressure. to. We's, to. We's, to. We's, to. We's, to. We's, to. So. We's, the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the the the the the pressure. the the the the pressure. the the the toe. the toease. the the the the the pressure is. the the pressure is. the the pressure is. the pressure is. the pressure is the pressure is. toea. toea. toea. toea. to shower. If it's been left on shower and you turn the water on fall because you think it's set on bath mode, the shower head that is loose on a light of cable wiring thing will explode off of the bath and just spray the whole room. Yeah we've got that we've got the old shower head spray scenario. And Lou said to me we need to lower the water pressure because the water is too powerful for our children's

heads and I just said they just can have to deal with it until their skulls can take it. Because I'm not changing my water pressure to wash a kid's head for a year until they're into get harder. Let's go. Well it's a good new feature. The best thing about it is going to lead to Rob getting lots more abuse on Twitter. Do you want some more feet on the floor stories of parenting Rob from my week? Yeah go for it what you got? Went to the tip. Oh I went to the tip last week. I had a fucking nightmare Rob. Oh no what happened? So Sunday trip to the tip. Yeah oh busiest day go on peak hours. Well not for me. to to to to to to to the to the the to the the the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. the th. thi. the the thi.

Yeah, oh, busiest day, go on. Peak hours. Not for me. Right. So, go to the tip, get everything in the car, obviously.

I know we've talked about some banal things on this show, Rob. But this, there is a traffic light near me. Love it, love it, love it already. to thrown to the the the th. the thrific. thr. the thr. thr. thr. thr. the thr. the thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. the thr. the toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. too. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me. to me. to me. toe, toe. toe. toe. the toe. the the the the the the tode. tode. tode. toda. toda. today, today, today, the today, the today, today, the today, toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. that it doesn't turn green on Sundays. Right, what is it, religious? I don't know, right, Rob? So I use this traffic light during the week to drop my child to nursery, right? We go through this traffic light. All is fine. You're using a traffic light, you're a normal guy. You're a normal guy. You use a traffic light what? Use a traffic like, yeah, come on. Yeah, exactly.

Right. On Sunday, last Sunday, it didn't change for five minutes. Right? I was third in the queue. It didn't change for five minutes, right? People are starting to hon their horns. Or that you can see that it's going around all the other options and not changing, right? Yes. Well, it says sometimes you need to be near a sensor to trigger it. If you're too far back, he doesn't know you're there.

I know, so you can only blame the person who's front of the queue for that, right? This was last Sunday, so eventually it goes on so long, people start taking it in. Oh, going through red. tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho, tho, 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 to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to be to be to be to be thi. thi. the. the. thean. the. thean. the. the. the. thean. tooooooooooo. to to to to to to into their own hands and just going. Oh, going through red, that's a big decision in it! It's a fucking huge decision, but when you're third in the queue, and one person's gone around you're ready and the first to have gone, I thought I'm all right here, right? Yeah. Went through, fine. I thought, I'd never have to think about that again. Go to the tip the the the the the the the the tippip find find find find the the the the the tip, find, find, find, find, find, find, find, find, find, the tip, the tip, the tip, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Get there. You're right, mate, wind down my window. He says, can I see the email? I said, what?

Oh, he says, you have booked, haven't you? No, I haven't booked, mate. Because this isn't he at the fucking wriits, it's the tip. Yeah, sort of slug and lettuce New year, the the thes? It's not Glastonbury. I didn't... I wasn't refreshing the web page at 10 a.m. to get my slot. Yeah, sometimes they release a few tickets on the day, don't they, for the tip. We've got some returns. So obviously, despite the fact my car's all a rubbish, yeah, I'm not allowed to use the tip. Oh no. Most gallinglyinglylylylylyly go through this passage rate to get to the tip, I have to drive through the tip to get out of the tip. Oh no, you should have pulled up and unloaded. Big boy move. Big ball move. You've already gone for a red light, mate. Pull up. Reahs. What they're going to do? Get it out of the fucking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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. Oh. Oh. the. the. Oh. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. t. t. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the are they going to do? Get it out of the fucking dump, put it back in your car? That would have, that I would have loved it if you did that. Yeah, well, I know obviously I didn't do that. I now regret it. So this weekend, Sunday, book for the tip. So is all the rubbish been in your car?

No, I put it in the front yard, all the front yard, all the paintings. All, all. the, garden table delivered, the guy who's delivering it is like, oh, I'll have that paint, those paintins, and that big metal pipe that you don't want, to basically take 75% of the stuff I was going to take to the tip, but I still have a few items that, so now I'm going to the tip with about three fucking items. I'd love to be a man or a woman that just gets a bit of pipe from someone's garden and makes it with it. Do you know the worst thing? When you said, are you getting rid of this big bit of pipe? And the first thing I thought was.

Of course I'm fucking am, you're a big bit of pipe. I thought, oh God, is that really valuable and I don't realize. Yeah, antique to a road show. It's a Rolex pipe. So I go to the tip with my few things. Obviously in the week when I've had the mattress for a, what those outdoor beds called? Yeah. That's got rained on. So I've now got a totally wet mattress. Oh, because it's been in your front yard, yeah, I'll get you.

In the front yard, so I have to put it in two bin bags. Yeah, with a bin back underneath it, set off the tip. So you get down, you're at your the fucking queue, the pressure's on. Oh boy, the pressure's on! What's the news? It wasn't working again, Rob? It wasn't working again, Rob, on a Sunday? Could you not put a green light on the council website? Okay, you're at the front of the... I'm loving this, you're at the front of the queue. I'm like, by this point, obviously I don't have the theory about Sundays, I just thought

it was last Sunday. Yeah. But then the time starts ticking Rob. Oh no. Another five minutes. The horns behind me are beginning. Oh no. What would you have moved as far forward as possible to to to to to to to to to to to to th th th th tho tho tho th tho tho tho tho tho the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the tho tho the tho the the the the thoomoomo the tho tho the the tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. I thi. I the the to the to tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo te. I toooo' to the. I Oh no. What would you have done, Rob? I would have moved as far forward as possible to try and trigger some sort of sensor. And then I would have waited for the person behind me to go round me.

That's exactly what I did. Waiting for the person to go round me. And then a lorry went round me. The beauty of the lorry, the beauty, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the the the tho, the the tho, the the tho, tho, the tho, tho, the tho, the the tho, the the the the the the the, the the the, the, the the, the, the, the, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomooooom... And, th lorry going round me is he was going straight on, I was going right, so I actually used the lorry as a kind of shield in case someone came through the green light in the other way. I think that a roundabout and buttons are lorries. I think if he's gone they can't get through him to me. If it had all gone wrong they'd have hit into the tip. At least the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th, if the the th, if he th, if he th, if he th, if he th, if he th, th, th. th. If th. If throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, the throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, the the the the throw, the got at least you got in the tip eventually. Yeah when I got to the tip Rob just to finish the story. Oh no. The uh the the the black went are you chucking that away? I'll have to open up a bin tau. The lile had a puddle on a bin bag on the back seat of my car, like totally stationary.

Like I like had a little lake sitting in the back of my car. Yeah. No idea how to get it out. So in the end I just had to kind of flip the water out of the car. I'll be honest with you Rob. Yeah. I'll be honest with you Rob. The woman on Twitter who doesn't like the back of your car would give me dogs abuse for the back of my car. Yeah. Absolute fucking state of shitty water from the last week.

But I did manage to get rid of my stuff at the tip. But all the food as well, like the biscuits and crisps that are on the floor. Mess and water. And you've got rid of dirty Lilo water, but at least you got rid of the Lilo. Got rid of the Lilo, got rid of everything to the tip, but I don't know what to do about that traffic light, Rob. I mean, report it to the council. How can a traffic light not go on Sundays? I tell you what we do is, you take a photo of this traffic light. to to to to to to to their, to to to to to to to to to to to to their, to to to to to their, to their, to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, but I's, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I'm, but I's, but I's, but I's, but I's, but I, but I, but I, but I, but I, but I, but I. their, but, but I.

I think that's what we do. There'll be someone that knows or can research that. I couldn't believe it, Rob. There is some sort of programming issue that needs to be reported to the local council.

And I think you're the man to do it, Josh. You got your bin. They move fast. Hockey council move fast. listening get it sorted someone for transport for London get it sorted get a photo online can I tell you my dump tip confession yeah there's a CCTV camera that you can check on the council website to see how busy the queue is for the dump I check it before I go to make sure it's really long so I can be out the house for all Rob them brought in booking in your neck of the woods then they don't book in we've got a permit we've to go go go go I I I I I I I I I I to go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go. to go. to go. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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. to their. their. their. to the the the to to the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tip. the to to the to to to to to to to to to your neck of the woods then. They don't book in, we've got a permit, a little permit that we can just go whenever, I can go whenever I want Josh.

Oh wow. I could go and take one bag of rubbish now. God, and I bet all your bloody traffic lights work on the way as well, don't they? Exactly. No threat of a fine. their I do that so that so I can that so I can that so I can that so I can that so I can that so that so I can that so that so I can that so I can sit that so I can sit that so I can sit that so I can sit that so I can sit that so I can sit that so I can sit in that so I can sit in sit in that so I can sit in that so I can sit in their that so I can sit in that that that that that that that that that that that their th.

Sometimes I hear Lou listening to it though, which is weird. And then I shout to her and she gets all confused because she can't work out what's me talking on the press-tie. And what's me shouting about something? Do you want a few very quick emails, Rob?

And then I'll needed that release. I've got calm. Do you know what we both needed that? Yeah and I think it was perfectly weighted you. I got burnt out like a Catherine wheel and then you really built that dump and lights to built like a bonfire it was beautiful. Do you want to hear something really lame Rob? What again? to to to to to to to to to th. to th. to the show is Josh. So now I've, to make my tea last during the record, because we record this, it's what,

it takes an hour or whatever, I do use a travel cup now, Rob. Oh, what that keeps it warm? You know you can get like a Bluetooth one that heats it? Oh my word. She soon acts got it and it was like it was like in the paper for him being flash because he had like a £80 cup or something that kept it. He could afford it. He could afford it. He's the richest man in the cabinet.

But yeah, so you should get one of them Josh. Yeah, well because this one came free when I did blockbusters on Comedy Central. Hi Josh and Rob. Hearing about the girl who thiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, th, th, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th.

Yeah, let's say the last thanks. Thank you for keeping us sane in these dark days. You're performing a national service and shall anticipate at least an MBE in the next honours list. Oh, would we be offered after the bloody first five minutes of this episode?

Am I right? Hearing about a girl who told her nursery friends, my daddy's got a big willy, brought back one of our most cherished parenting memories. Our girls aged 11 and 14 now, but when there was six and nine, we went for sunny walk and picnic in Trent Park, out of reaches of North London. We'd been warned that the park's long grasses could hide ticks. So we should keep an eye on both dog on the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the park's long grasses could hide ticks. So we should keep an eye on both dog and the kids to make sure they didn't attract any unwelcome visitors. After our picnic, we went to the adventure playground, which was packed with whooping kids and parents milling around.

I remembered about the ticks, so called over our youngest Esmey to check the skin of her arms and legs, all clear. I then asked her to go and fetch her 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 to to to to to to to to, to to to to to to to to to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, take, their, tooe, tooe, tooe, tooe, tooe, tooe, tooke, took, tooe, tooe, tooeauuaughe, tooe, tooe, tooe, and, toea, and, tooluce, and, all clear. I then asked her to go and fetch her sister so I could check her, at which point she took a few steps forward and yelled across the playground. Sophie, come here, Daddy wants to check if you've got tits. Oh, God. Oh, no, 9 and 11, the worst ages for that as well. Tumbleweed, shock silence, some parents sniggered, one openly laughed, one looked appalled. It's something you call his teach a mum, isn't it? Oh my god, the worst.

Yeah, so there we go. Lovely stuff. Years on, we still haven't been back to that playground from Joel Ricket. Rob, we've had a lot of people who have had babies during international football tournaments. Oh, good to know. So we get a bit of advice because you're expecting your, oh Josh, I should mention this as well. We're a bit worried about, not worried, but like, you're quite a sort of private person, you're not a big sort of like male online, media, whore type of celebrity. You keep yourself to yourself. And you th. th. their their th. their their 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, thi, tho, th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, their, too. their, their, thooo. Oh, too. Oh, too. Oh, too. Oh, too. Oh, to, to, to, You keep yourself to yourself and you was a bit like

oh I hope you know there's probably I imagine too much coverage about your second baby. And it did well didn't it the announcement on the podcast. We had one of our biggest ever download days but not one single media outlet covered it Josh. Yes. So how is that is that good news for you or you slightly annoyed that you completely went under the radar? It's a bit of pill to swallow, isn't it? I would say your private life hasn't been invaded, but you wouldn't mind a little pry, would you just debate you feel important? Yeah, you think considering some of the stuff they put in mail online, but I'm going to say it now Rob, it's good to know that no one's interested in your life. Because sometimes you're sat waiting at a red light eternally and you think,

what if I jump this light and it's going to end up in the papers? Yeah. And now I know, no one could give a fuck. I do think that sometimes, because obviously some people's lives are really like pride into, but you must have to court it a bit because you're on the TV show we do a podcast about parenting that she's popular and a lot of people listen but no one cares. No one gives a fuck about me Rob. No one keeps a flying fuck. But they do because they listen to this and you're on the show but yeah certain aspects of media don't care at all. Couldn't give a shit. Do you know what I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do wrong. the the the the the to the to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to the to to to to to they. to they. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the their.

She's gone for a walk. It's bigger news than your incoming child. Unbelievable. Okay. Anything else? Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. I'll be honest for you. There's a lot. It's the worst day you could have done this. Well, there's also a lot of stuff that's just really shaming to women. So I'm trying to skip over that because it's not, it's not very nice. Okay. Ashley Roberts. P. th. the th. th. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Oh, hang on, but this is obviously more important to the reader than your incoming baby. More important than to the reader. Ashley Roberts looks chick in a carkey pleated skirt, lilac blouse, and shearling jacket as she leaves her Heart FM show. She's just going home from work in clothes. James Martin walks off this morning set after Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield leaving red-faced with cheeky piece of meat joke. He was a good joke though. He's literally just walked out of shop because of a joke, genuinely. Well Rob, I've've got loads of football stuff, so why don't we save that for Friday?

Don't worry, it's not all football, eh, if you're not interested in football. But I could end with, if you think we've gone mad, Rob? Yeah. Can I end with this? I love the podcast. It cheers me up after the hell that is home working while homeschooling. My three children age 10, 9 and 5. I just wanted to share my own Bingate experience. This happened a few years ago while my youngest was still very much in nappies. The thiefs, modus operandi, stiffneck, was to sneak out as soon as the bins were emptied, steal a bin from the end of the alley where all the bins were put out and hide it in her garden. The bins are emptied every every every every every every every the the the the the the the the the of the alley where all the bins were put out and hide it in her garden. The bins are emptied every two weeks.

On bin day she would sneak the bin back very early late at night and steal another house's bin after the bin men had been. This had happened to us a couple of times and after speaking to a few neighbors we realized this was a well-thought-out plan carried out by criminal mastermind, who claughtly altered her victims so as to avoid notice. I waited until our bin was yet again stolen. I was determined to find out who the thief was. On bin day I went out at 7 a.m. It wasn't there. 7.30. Still no bin. At 8, I went back out and there it was. I opened the bin and was faced with two weeks worth of waste. I was determined to find a clue and had come prepared, so put on

my rubber gloves. No. Open the first bag and discovered to my horror that not only did she mix general waste with the recycling, but she'd removed her name and house number from all of her junk mail. Oh my gosh, she had that's that new to the world report of this in the bins. Yeah, she had carefully removed all trace of her identity. As I said, a criminal mastermind, I was not willing to give up, so dragged out bag after bag of sweaty stinking rubbish. My husband came out with the kids on to see what I was doing, but hurriedly took them back to shield them from my madness. I was a woman possessed. The entry to the alley leads directly to my kid's

school. Parents I knew were walking past. Oh, God, this is getting worse. this is getting worse. Looking at the bin ta, but I ignored them and maintained focus on the bin raider. their bin raider. Bin raider is is is is is is is is is is is is is is is is is the the the the tha. Bin raider. Bin raider. Bin raider is is is the tha. Bin raider is tha is tha. Bin raider is the tha. Bin raider is the the the th-a. Bin the th-a. Bin tha. Bin thai.

Oh, someone got set out the bin, you go, Bin Raider, he's a Bin Raider! Never heard a Bin Raider? No, didn't have Bin Raiders in Devon. I was having four of you, wouldn't it? If I would know what they put in there.

Suddenly, I saw it, her mistake. I grabbed, I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I their mistake. I grabbed. I their mistake. I grabbed. I grabbed. I grabbed. I grabbed. bags back in and ran home to carefully considered my next well-reasoned move. However, I was fucking livid. So instead I wrote this note. Aggressive, I agree. Especially as I later realized, she was an elderly lady. Still, she was sprightly enough to steal all of the neighbourhood's bin rather than a new one. My advice to Josh is going hard. You may get a rep as the neighborhood psycho, but your bin will never be stolen again. Well, did she confront the old lady? I'll read you the note. She sent us a screen grab. Okay. D'er. D'er, Blank. Do you call her, Dorothy. Dear Dorothy. That's my name. thorough. Call her, Dorea, that is her name, so that's all, no, it's not.

Dear June, if you're gonna steal my bin for two weeks, at least have the fucking sense to get rid of your prescriptions with your name on. No, she didn't say, fucking, did she put it up the air, fuck him, your fucking prescriptions. You can't be that aggressive to someone that needs medicine? Next time it goes missing, I will inform the council and give you my shitty nappies to take care off. Cheers, number 20. Wow, that is it? Did you get a reply? You're not replying to that, are you?

You're just not going to steal the bin again. Good, aren't are they? I also, I personally feel like, great, you got you th you th you th you th. You th. You th. You th. You got th. You got th. th. You've th. th. th. th. th. thi? thi? thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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, that, that, that, that, that, that. that. that, that. that. that. that. that, that. that. that, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi? thi? thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's You're just not gonna steal the bin again. Good, aren't they? I also, I personally feel like, great, you got your bin back, but I don't think this was about the bin. It's a bit like when you got, you know, confronted by that gym goer outside, when you went, what's this really about? Not about the bin is it? There's enough space for the bin isn't it and the other bin. But good that's good detective work though. I've applaud the effort. Yeah, so do I. Yeah, if you've gone mad in some way

Do let us know about it. Oh, we've got this one from Steve in Dagenham. He ate his own shit ones. Cool, right. That's a lovely bit of correspondence. He went mad.
