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

Robbucket? Can you say Josh Widdickum? Donkhee! Can you say Josh Widdockham? Oh, he he. You got donkeed off, Josh. You know what, Josh? You know what, Eddie? You know what, Eddie? You know what, Eddie? you know what, mate? Fuck you, Eddie. Do you know what? Eddie is from Dartford and I imagine in about 16 years time.

16, I reckon Eddie will be able to beat me up when he's 12. I would love in the, so is he four now, so in 12 years time when he's 16, bring him to a Josh gig and get him to heckle donkey for the longest running feud in light entertainment. You're obviously not aware of Pierce Morgan versus Jeremy Clarkson. That's a long runner. What a helmet off that is. I mean, how'd you pick a side there? That's why no one really talks about that feud because it's impossible to choose someone in it? Well exactly. Who are you picking Clarkson or Morgan? Do you know what Rob? Yeah. I'm gonna surprise you here. I am and I'm not just saying this for a fact, a big fan of Jeremy Clarkson. Really? I mean I could have been swayed to the Morgan side in the middle of the pandemic when I thought he was doing quite well on good morning Britain, but then he went mental again. Do I'd th. I th Do you know what he was like? He was like, you know, when you have a girlfriend, like,

when you first start dating people, that is obviously absolutely bat shit. And then you go, oh, she was all right then, wasn't it? And then the next week she starts like doing a shit on the buffet at a christening. Oh, oh no. I'm gonna have, we're gonna have we gonna we gonna we're gonna we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're gonna have, we're to have, we're, we're, we're, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're that, we're th. Yeah, we're gonna, we're th. We're gonna, we're gonna have th. We're gonna have th. We're gonna have th. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna th. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna have th. We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're Clarkson, are you? Well, I've not, I've got no interest in cars. No. But, and I would say my world view is probably quite different from Jeremy Clarkson's, but... Yeah, well he's six or four, isn't he? So he sees it a lot more. Yes. I actually think he's an incredibly talented TV presenter and very, very funny. Yeah, so he he he he he he he he he he he th I I I that that that that th. that's th. th. th. th. th. th. that's th. th. th. th. th. that's th. th. th. th. th. that's that's, that's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's, and I 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. to. to th. to. to. to. to. to. to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I to. I th. I is. So the point, I used to watch Top Gear with no interest in the show. And he's, that's him, that whole thing.

He's created that, do you know what I mean? So what in your top three? What you're doing? You're going, Clark's and May, or Clark's and May Hamond? I don't get a good feeling of with you I'd prefer to go on the lash with May of the three of them. I think he's probably a lovely bloke. Yeah I'd love to go on the lash with just May one on one. I'd love Clarkson on aond, Hammond seems like a lovely guy, but for me, I liked him in the early days,

but when he started presenting in Total Wipeout wearing traveling beads, like he'd been to Thailand for four months, that's where I'm and lost me. Do you know what I'm going to say it? Fly out to fucking Argentina if youthey do travel the top gear boys though. You've got to be fair, like, he must be sick of... Yes. Because that's it basically, basically, it just goes somewhere in the middle of nowhere and drive a ship car until it breaks, is basically the show, isn't it? Itthen it wouldn't be a good show, would it, if it was that easy?

See, that's the genius of Clarkson, Rob. That is the genius of Clark. Have you seen this as a YouTube channel? It's just him outside a coffee shop. No. Pissed, but maybe not pissed, but maybe not. thereau. That sounds my scene. Anyway, sorry, I'm just... So in conclusion, fuck you, Eddie. Fuck you, Eddie, the poor, though, no, let's say Eddie, basically, let me explain this.

Eddie is currently obsessed with calling people donkey, including the poor cashier at the supermarket over the weekend. We are undecided how he decided which one of you would be donkey on this occasion though. Keep up the great work Katie and Lewis in Dartford. I told my kids to start calling people sucker like when I said to go up to Lou and say it's time to brush my teeth sucker and it's quite funny but if they do that to someone outside of the family unit it's horrendous. You know imagine if they call the teacher sucker it's very 80s Rob. What I think about sucker is it's so disrespectful but you can't get that angry. If you said, oh, piss off or something, that is instantly rude and bad, but sucker, that is funny in it, a three-year-old cr when you sucker. Do you know what, Rob? You're raising some amusing

little children there? Do you know what, if anything, they're going to be a right hoot? They're good. They're not rude. I'll be rude. I'll tell they're th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's that's, that's that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. thr. thr. thr. thrue. thrue. thrue. thrue. thrue. thrue. thrue. thrue. that's funny. that's funny. that's funny. that is funny. that is funny. they can hold their own with clerks and at the wedding table. Oh, Josh, I've got to tell you this before we start, Josh, because it is fresh, hot off the press. I have just delivered one of the greatest parenting 20 minutes of my parenting career. Oh yeah. I'll talk you through it. The kids are a bit bored of going to school. The initial excitement's gone. And then the elder the elder the elder the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the elder, the older, the older, the older, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm thi. I'm, I'm thi. I'm th. I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I is is thi. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I is th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm th. I'm th th th th th thr. I'm just just thr. I'm just thr. thr. I'm just thr. I'm just thr. I've thr. I've just thr fine. But then as she leaves, the younger one thinks, oh yeah, I don't want to go to preschool, but she loves preschool. Yeah.

Anyway, we had her literally cold up in my arms crying uncontrollably saying, I don't want to go to school, the three-year-old, right? Yeah. And this was like, 10 minutes, 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, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, to, too, too, too, the too, the the too, the the too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to just not send her then. And then we started inventing that she was ill. She wasn't ill. She wasn't, she didn't have a temperature, she's not being ill, but you start, I sometimes, to get out of difficult parenting, invent that's something wrong to sort of explain their behavior. Do you ever sometimes, she'd do that, yeah, of course. go immediately as soon as we've decided she's not going she would be happy and go I want to go school now and it'll be one of them right so she's crying

uncontrollably we don't know what to do she's refused we've even offered a Maltese's preschool as a sort of time is this Rob 830 a.m. They light a way to enjoy chocolate at 830 a.m. Yeah exactly we didn't go York you didn't go Yorkie, we didn't go full-pel, we didn't go Harry Bow. We went Maltese's, just because we had nothing left in our armour. Have you got a fun-sized packet there or is it a full pack? It was a fun, oh fun-sized, not a full pack. What do you think I'm raising? Jesus Christ? Um, did you put the Maltese as you're scooted to school? And then I mentioned I the Malted, the Maltz, the Maltz, the Malt, themalt, themalt, thau, thau, thau, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, and thus, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, have, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, th. th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, th. Are, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, tho, tho, that, tho, tho, to to tho, to to their, tho, thoa, thoa, thoa, tho, the, the, the, th on a scooter in the basket. You what? To be like you can have them in the basket as you scooter to school. And then I mentioned, oh, why don't we drive you to school then instead and she wanted to be driven, we couldn't because there was a car seat issue that I don't want to go into.

They weren't in the right cars. So anyway, as she was sobbing and they. As she was so, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was sob, as she was sob, as she was sob, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, as she was sobbing, as she was sobbing, as she was so, as she was so, as she was so, I, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, as the, as the the the thi, thrown, the thrown, the thrown, the thrown, the thrown, the the thrown, the thrown, the thrown, the thrown, much a hair had all come out. And as she was doing it, so this is where it started. Distraction is the best method for my kids. I had to do her and make a laugh and distract her, but you can't go full in with like banty, you have to sort of sneak it. And so I started putting funny faces, but whenever Lou looked at me, to be again transitional period. Lovely. Yeah, and then they escalated to me, pulling my t-shirt over my head so I'd no head and I was running around bumping into walls.

And she loved it, right? And then I can't believe you were doing your tour show for her. I was doing my encore at 8.30 a.m. Anyway, so I'd start chasing around the house. And then I'm chasing around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around a the house and she's sort of laughing a bit, bit seemingly. And then I go, I'm gonna get you and I open the front door and chase her out of the front door until she's on the drive and now I'm chasing around on a scooter and then Lou comes out of all the stuff go quick the monsters getting us and then goes through like the front gate and I chased her out of the gate and I chased her down the road to school and she's laughing. Wow. Wow. And before. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. th. Wow. th. th. Wow. th. th. the th. Wow. Wow. the th. the th. the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I I I th. I th. I the. I'm thru. I'm tru. I'm tru. tru. tru tru tru tru. tru tru true thru. thru. I done a gig. It was, it was such a ride. You are like something from a advert for a bank, Rob. Do you know what I mean? Like, you know

there's happy families you'd see who've just got their first mortgage from Nat West or something. And you go, people don't live like that. The Beckett's fucking do. Also unfortunately, the tea, you know some t-shirts are a bit short in the body, right? Yeah, wearing one at the moment. This one is, I cannot go shopping in it to reach top shelf or its belly out. I literally was wearing a crop top chasing a child down the street. Oh my word. Wow, it's a lovely image. I'm going to say it, I would not be able to do that at all. I'm thi. to to to to to to to to to to th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I would thi. I would thi. I would thi. I would thi. I would thi.

Just to lose myself in parenting like that. Do you know what I mean?

My natural instinct is to pretend I've not got no ed and chase her. But anyway, so that went well and she went in and okay. That is, and you're buzzing from it. So I'm buzzing, Josh. Do you think you're going to have got into a situation where you're going to have to have to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to have to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do that that that every every that every that every that every that every that every that every that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning that every morning to do to do to do to do if you're trying to make a kid happy, come back to me on day eight, Rob. Yeah, maybe not, but yeah, that went well and I genuinely thought we weren't going to school today because she was so upset. To turn that round, you must be absolutely walking on out. Honestly know Lou was looking at me like it was it was genuinely

The best thing I've ever done. I couldn't believe the turnaround is absolutely insane So I'm just by I'm buzzing off life at the moment I think you obviously had a few meltdowns in a week so it's just good to get a good good bit of business under your belt. Yeah, yeah, it feels like a two-nillain home win before a difficult to tie. the to to to to to the to to to to to the to too to the too the too the too too the the the too too too the the too too to be so soo to be soo to be soo the the the the to bea. to bea. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tune. tune. tune. tune. tune. tune. tune. tune. tune. tunea. tunea. tunea. tunea. tunea. tunea. tune. tune. tune. toonenenenenenenene. tie in the week. What a start to the week as well. If you started the week with a no show at school Rob this would be a very different episode. Oh God yeah I mean exactly that's the thing we parent and it's all on a knife veg in it. At any point your legs can be taken. We are a little bit of a hot head temperature away from a 10 day lockdown again or two weeks or whatever is. You forget that. You forget that because you sort of like vaccines are working and the numbers are going low And it feels like we're all headed in the right direction But one temperature you're back at you're back at square one. Well, do you know what Rob?

Yes talking of vaccines. Yeah. I am riddled with 5g. Yeah, I am riddled with 5g. Bill Gates is literally in your living room watching you right now. All I'm saying, Rob, and I've not thought to say this before on the podcast, but I don't know about these Apple laptops. Microsoft, it's a good company. I don't know what happened, but I've just ordered an Android about thinking about it.

What does Possible sound like for your business? It's having to spend to power your scale with no preset spending limit. Redefine possible with Business Platinum. That's the powerful backing of American Express. Terms and Conditions Apply. Visit MX.C.A.S.P. BUSP. Back to school signals a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons.

Change is in the air. But one thing hasn't changed. The Ford 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. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. So I've had a big week, Rob.

Yes, so you're all, you've got asthma, haven't you? Because you're not 50. So I put this on, I put it on Instagram. I don't ever mention anything on Instagram about schools opening or closing or the vaccine. It's not worth it, Josh. Well I tell you what, Rob, I put my jab on Instagram because I felt, you know, well, I'll be honest with you, Rob. Do you want to know why I did it? Why? Because there's a couple of comedians on Twitter who are my most search thing on the safari app of my phone. Okay. Who are anti-vaxxers and I'm absolutely bodedly obsessed with them. Oh no, it's i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i is is is is is is i is i is i is i is i is i is insane it's i is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane. It's insane. It's insane. It's insane. It's insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane is insane the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they they they they's is they's is they's is the the the the they's the they're they're th. thi. thi. thi. th th th th th th th th thin. th th th th th th th thin th th th thi thi. thi. they're they and I'll be honest I thought I really want to put a picture up on Instagram and Twitter in the hope that they'll bite and

shame me. You want to be sort of abuse of being that like you'll be yeah I wanted to annoy them that much even though I can see they don't even follow me Rob and that God do you know what now there is going to be a team of LPH researchers now trying to work out, okay, we need to find two comedians that are anti-vaxxers that Josh doesn't follow and they don't follow him and they don't follow him. And then they're going to get a short list and try and work out who you're talking a taeting about their vaccines. You got, yes, you caught one. I caught an anti-vaxer. I like on social media posing like weird questions

about the vaccine where I put, right? Yeah. Obviously, here's a joke this was. Hello people, semi-serious vaccine question here. My wife was shielding and has had her vaccine. I suffer from type one huge dick syndrome. Should I take the Oxford AstraZeneca jab that I've been offered or wait for the Pfizer one?

Okay, lovely bit of business. I mean, what I thought was underappreaseate was the semi-pun there that was subtly put in. Oh, a serious question. I don't think a lot of people got, but I just wanted people to know that. I've only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only only the they. I've they. I've the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. I'm the to too. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I've. I've. I've. I'm. I've. I'm. I've. I'm.

Exactly and I'm working on two levels here Josh and the thing is because people have got perception of me not able to work on two levels I like to surprise people and sometimes I just want to bring it up sometimes most people think you can barely work on a level Rob exactly exactly do I mean it's sort of grin the the the the the I'm so givet I mean it's I that I that I that I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get that is that is that is that is that is so I get I get I get I get I get that is so I get I get I get I that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is I that is a that is a that is a that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the that is that is that is that is that is what I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I get I can that is that is that is what I can't eat in to live in me. It means I'm not rushing out the house. I can chase

one child down the road and one top over my head. It's how I want to live my life. Anyway, so I had a lot of people actually commenting on that post seriously saying that I should just take it, don't what it doesn't matter if you're type one, obviously not read the dick thing. And even friend and contribute to this podcast.

And, the theythis podcast, the wonderful Gabby Logan said, definitely take the vaccine, Rob, you shouldn't mess around. And I was like, oh, thanks Gabby. And I said, but what about my huge type one dick? And she said, especially have it.

So I thought, oh, she's having a bit of fun. But then Gabby, the lovely lady lady emailedby had gone to DM at that point, I thought... Oh, she's a fool of a type one, is she? No, Gabby's lovely, Gabby, sent me a message saying, Rob, whatever condition you've got, you should definitely take the vaccine, which I agree with, but she sort of missed the joke, but now it's too awkward. Do you think, Rob? That she's not, tha, tha, tha, thiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be, to be, to be, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th.

She's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, to be thin, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. too, that, now it's too awkward. Do you think, do you think, Rob, that she's only scam reading what you've written? She's not taking it in, Rob. Yes, I don't think she's took in my huge dick. She's just sort of quickly read it.

But also, more shockingly, which I took as a compliment, she sent me a link to the Times website. I'm not reading it. I'm not reading it for free. Rob. Yeah? You used to do Mock the Week. Our login still works, mate. They give you a login though. They give you a lot. I'm still using it, ma'am. I'm still using the Mock the Week logging? I'm still logging into the Times. I've been for fucking years, Rob. I'm not reading the Times. Anyway, I'll the the the the the the time the time the time the time the time the time. I the time. I'm the time. I'm the time.

Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you Gabby and I agree have the vaccine whatever your medical condition, whether it's a huge dick or asthma and apologies that I tricked you but I didn't mean to. So I think that's my apology done there. Yeah. And I'd like to say thank you to angst productions for allowing me to log into the Anyway, how's your parenting week been? I'll tell you about my jab. Oh yeah, jab me up.

What's happening? So got the text. Now, I put on Instagram before we got distracted. Finally, my ass was paying off and a lot of people said, you don't get it for asthma. So this is pure speculation that it's asthma related. But my wife is with the same doctor and a month away from me and she hasn't been offered it.

A month away of you in age? Yeah. Would she get offered it because she's pregnant? I think you get offered it and then you turn it down there? How fat have you got it? Have you got it? How long? How long?

Yeah, I just wanted that jabbed. Yeah, I waddled down there. Well, my friends in Ballam got it, and they're only about 45 because they're not, there's not that many people that are over 50. So, oh my God, Josh, do you know, we sound like two mums, you know, sort of like your mom, you know, like, you know, like, the too'n't, you're, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, to me, the the the the too, the the too, the too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to is a podcast, Rob. Do you know what? Peter Crouch is welcome to number one if we're putting out shit like this. I mean, surely the podcast you listen to should be more interesting than a random chat you have in the street. Well, I worry,

Rob, that we're getting more inane, but I worry that that's actually the best stuff, that's actually the best stuff we do. Maybe being mundane's our calling the cune. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I.

Yeah I genuinely found the whole experience quite emotional. Yeah well when Lou got hers and I was waiting for us I felt the same.

Yeah. Like I was just, I mean, I don't want to get emotional over logistics, but I just couldn't believe how well it organized it all was and how amazingly the NHS have put this out and got this sorted. Do you know what I mean?

And I think the military are doing all the logistics aren't there? And I do think the British military are quite good, aren't there? And you know, and I do think the British military are quite good, aren't they? Yeah, I was marched in with a gun behind my back, actually. It's quite hard to find the vaccination tenters, it's all camouflaged. It's been a lot of time walking about. So, you go in, there's like, the waiting rooms and like that it's just very sharp, very quick and also got a free sticker which was absolutely, yes. I was absolutely delighted by the free sticker. Oh lovely stuff. And I didn't have that much a reaction to it. I presumed, I'll be honest to you, I presumed I was the kind of stiff neck nerd who'd be ill for a week, Rob. Yeah, yeah, me too. I can imagine that. Yeah, on the limb sip. Exactly. But I woke up at 5 a.m.m. I am a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a 5 a th.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m. I.m.m. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm.

Oh took a couple of parasitamol and that's all that's happened apart from my arm is a bit

painful. A bit BCGE my arm but apart from that... BcG. Oh that's great yeah Lou felt a bit rough the next day but apart from that was fine my parents all had it. It's it's it's special, Josh. Sorry, yeah, I know, I was just very excited by. I felt genuinely like, do you know what? It felt like a part of history. Do you know what? You will definitely be asked about this by your daughter and maybe even her kids. Yeah. They'll go around to granddad's house dick was. Of course they will. If they don't get banter, I don't know.

You'll say, look in the history books, it's all there for everyone to say. Because if my daughter's turn into a couple of stiffnecks and get proper serious jobs, imagine they're a lawyer or a CEO, the banter juice is going to be diluted by the time it gets to great grandchildren. And I was th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th th th thu thu thu an I thuant I thuant thuant thuant thuant thuant thuant thuant they'll just they're they're thranny thuant thioulant they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all their their their their their their their their their their their thi thi thi thir thi thi thi thir thir thir to get to get to get to get to get to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thruanty going to be sat there with these little stiff-nicks doing puzzles and like come on people, let's hide our heads and chase. Yeah, got a loose-deck, huge-dick granddad here wants to play. Let's talk about how diluted the banter juice is already Rob. So you're a hundred percent banter. Yeah, I'd say I'd argue my parents are over a hundred percent banter. To the point of it's too too much ban. Nothing gets done. And how diluted is you and Lou? I'd say that's I'd say lose a 7.5 on the banter and the banter dilution and the kids I'd say I'm bringing them up to an 8.5.

So I think the banter the banter is quite high at the moment but I did know it's a 0.5 drop-off on the eldest going to primary school. Oh my wife. So she's operating about eight, but the three-year-olds are still 8.5. But I'm, you know, I'm sat there sitting pretty at 10 on the, on the, the instantly invented banter dilution juice scale that we are, we're operating now. We can follow that over future episodes. Yeah, exactly. Give it another 30 years, let them have some kids and I'll let you know how the band has diluted. I had a bad parenting moment earlier, Rob, while you were doing your good parenting. Yeah. So this wasn't bad parenting, but I just thought, that is pathetic from me. Just really pathetic the way my mind works sometimes. You just go, yeah, go on. So, I've always been a fan since before having children of the small trainers

that children wear that you see in shoe shops. Yeah, do you ever plan on getting them and hanging on your wing mirror? Not the wing mirror, the rear view mirror in the color that was a thing. No, I haven't planned that. But I have, you know, I always, if in a shoe shop. You just, if in a shoe shop. I'm, I, I, I, if I, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the children, the children, the children, the the children, the the the the the the the children, the the the children, the the children, the the the, the children, the, the, the, the, the the I try him on. Little size four converse, little grubby converse on the right of you. You joke, you joke, Josh, I'm peppering you today. No, you joke about my small feet, Rob, but you enjoy paying VAT on your shoes because I... It's a saving.

Another person who's surprising small feet is Joel Dommet, he's a seven. I've got, I've got nine's. I'm a size nine. I. I. I. I that I th I th I th I th I th I t. I t. I t. I t. I t. I t. I t. I t.

They are. I think people are banging for exposure. Yeah, you could. Come on, mate. You've got a tortu to the tortu, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toa toa toa toa toa, I toa, I to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be having to be having to be having to be to be having to be having to be having to be having to be having to be having a kid, to be having a kid, to have a kid, to have a kid, to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have a kid to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to get to get to get to get tooing their their their kid kid kid kid. their their kid. tooom. their too, their their kid. too, their their their kid. too, their their kid. too, their to be to be to be to with your kid? Oh no, yeah, I just, I love those, I love those little trainers, Rob. I've always loved those little trainers. I've always thought when I have a kid, can't wait to get those little trainers. Yeah, yeah. My daughter is not into the little trainers. No. Won't wear them. the. thap. tho. their. tho. tho. their. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. th. th. th. tho. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. I tho. I've tho. I've tho. I've tho.

We've got all these little trainers. I like little Nike ones. I like the little converse. She won't wear any of them, right? And obviously during winter it's wailies. Yeah. And then this was the first I thought, this is so unfair on me.

This is all I've ever wanted is to put a child in trainers. Yeah, like a little pair of ready dash traders. And I genuinely thought, well, it's all on the next one, all or nothing on him now, on whether he, whether he wears the trainers. There's a lot of pressure on him. It genuinely upset me. And I thoomomomomom I 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 is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is thoomoomoom, that is that, the. the. thoom, thoom, th. th. tho. thi. thi. the th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th that is pathetic that my main issue in life is that I don't get to put my child in tiny expensive trainers. I had that with football kits, little football kits. I went to Barcelona on Stagdum, and bought two of these football kits, Barcelona football kits for both girls and Lou literally would never put them in it.

And then I tried to put them in and they went, oh it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all it's all slimy and weird and silky. So now there's about 80 quids worth of football kit in the drawer. Never too would. I loonily threw it out the other day and that was the most of them that ever shouted. I was like what there, you know, because I'd go back to my sort of my sort of childhood of not being out of football kids. So the thought of a football kit being, make, make, make, 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'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd, I'd.... And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd... And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, the. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd. And, I'd an old, even like an old top room kit on the floor, I'll probably leave top them, but if I saw just some decent football kit on the floor and mad, I'll take it and wash it. I can't see a football kit get thrown away. No, of course not, Rob. You're a human.

Yeah, I'm in a human. I've got a heart. I've got feelings. But you see these kids at nurseat-I, and then, and, their, their, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. th. the, th. th. theat, I'm, I'm, I'm, thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t-a. together. together. together. tho. tho. the fuck are they doing that? I am, currently I'm negotiating to a Clanger's t-shirt and some wellies every morning. I know, you've just got to let them find their own style though, Josh, but I think, I think it's all power play. Like he said, it's like you can be their prisonthose converse. But then you, baby, why don't you get them really, you know, like the soft bottom ones, the babies, and put them on the kid before he has, he knows what's going on. Yeah, I mean he's going straight in a pair of bloody trainers from the off. I know it doesn't matter. That's the thing and in my head I'm going this is, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. She's happy in the running. So is it actually annoying you? It did for like three minutes and then I was like, what the fuck are you doing to myself? I was like why do you care about this you pathetic man? Do you want to hear about the traffic light?

Yes I do and I've got a couple, I've got a story about dogs and smoothies. Well there we go. What do you want to hear the traffic light? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the the. the the the the the the thee. the the the the first? Do you want to hear the traffic light? Yeah, let's do traffic light. So we've covered this for last couple of weeks. For people that aren't, yeah, unaware, let's give us a rundown. There is a traffic light. There is a traffic light near my house that doesn't turn green on a Sunday. And I thought, oh, I thought it was just me. I was just. thau me. thau me. thau me. thau. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just tho. tho. thoom. thoom's just that. thoom's just tho. tho. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So. So. tha. tha light. And it's been reported now. It's been reported so I went to test it out on Sunday and I thought I'll record this. And now Rob you might say that is an unnecessary trip. Oh yes because we're all supposed to be at home staying safe aren't we? Protecting the NHS. But it is work because it is content.

So that, yeah, because you literally only went out to record this. No trip to the dump. No trip to the dump. But this is content. OK, is it? Is it, is it though? Yeah, because it's no different from you doing a road trip with Romesh. Yeah, it's exactly the same as going to St. Andrews to fill. But what I'd say is content, yes, it is content. from that point of view because it's going to be on the podcast but from a editorial is this good enough to put on a podcast point of view is it content? Well let's not scratch at the surface of that Rob.

Okay yeah for us Charles I'm concerned this is content and let's hear it. So here we go. Just joining the correct rows now. Rounding the corner of the traffic line now and it doesn't seem to be any traffic it seems it seems that it's free just coming up to the corner now there's a separate crossing so some people going across on some parts that I will be at the traffic light. And here we are. It's red. Okay, the traffic light, it's gone green. The traffic light was gone green on a Sunday. Oh my word, through, oh my god, no, it's gone red.

Before I got to it, it's gone red. And I've been left at the front. This is an absolute disaster. Right, so I'm now sat at the front waiting. Oh my God, I was so curious. I should have just gone on the fucking yellow. Right, it's just me waiting. I can see the other roads counting down on their pedestrian crossing.

So the other road is going to be let through it. If I'm stuck here, I'm fucking liquid. Right, the other road, traffic's going. This is up being in your brain. Oh Jesus, here we go. So they're all going. Still no one has joined me. I'm just on my own, waiting at this red light. It wouldn't be my turn anyway now. So I've gone green. I've gone green. The problem has been fixed. There we go. I don't want to take credit for us ourselves. But I think we can say we've achieved a lot in this show. But really getting the traffic light to work again near my house, that's top of the list, isn't it?

There you go, Rob. That was strangely compelling. And then it was just, oh, it was almost like the perfect narrative because you thought, oh, it's just great. Oh, no, it's gone red again. And it was like the second dollop of danger. And, you know what, though, that is pretty impressive, you've that you've that you've that you've that you've that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's know what though? That is pretty impressive that you've managed to get that fixed just by moaning about it on here. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly, Rob, exactly. And if you go sure want to get fixed? Yeah.

Or is anyone else got anything that needs fixing? to their house? Yeah, have to be broke trafficing. We'll mention it. Could be a broken curb. Could be a bin that's overflowing. Just let us know. The location, your name, what's wrong, and you need recall yourself going back to it and we can see if it's been fixed or not. We, social crusaders really, Josh in a way. And well done though, Josh, you get that sort of listening to that. I did think all of my respect for Jeremy Clarkson. of tips when it comes to bringing the driving experience alive. Do you know what though? It's almost like a preview of your life post-divor? I'm going to drive down here again. I've dropped the kids back and yeah just sort of check out the

dump and the red light and I'll get to sit in two weeks so not too bad. Yeah. I've got a slight issue with my three-year-old Josh. Yeah. She's too confident in public. Oh no, I've got the opposite. Well, especially with dogs. So she loves dogs, always wants to stroke dogs. And also, you know, some dogs don't want to be strokes. And I feel sorry for dog to kids

when kids just run at a dog. Some dogs aren't friendly, you don't know the history of a certain dog, or they've not met many kids, so they don't want to be touched, you know, you wouldn't run up and toub in toub would you? But so I always say, I know, you have to ask if you want to to touk, their to say yes or no to ask them and normally that judgment call is is it gonna bite their face off and I you know you have to look at the owner you look at the dog of Southeast London and don't get me

wrong stafes a lovely little dogs but also in southeast London those dogs are train to kill because they're so loyal right so I got brought up our cousin had a staffy little dog little dog the the most the most most most most most most most most most most most the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 their their the the their their their their their their their I I I their so their I I their I their I their I their I their I their I their is is is is is their is is is is their is is is is their is is is their is is is is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the London, those dogs are used for drug deals. Anyway, are they? Oh yeah, protection dogs. Do you mean? You know, their staffs? Like in South, they... They can transport it in the dog, do they? No, they don't put the drugs up the dog's ass. I'm talking, So I normally make the judgment call, but now she started going, excuse me, can I stroke that doggy at the owner? So I'm, she's completely cut me out. Oh, she's cut you out the deal. I'm out the deal.

I'm just stood there. And then this dog came down the road. And I have never seen, you know, is it ghost b ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is ghost, ghost, is ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, is ghost, ghost, ghost, is ghost, ghost, ghost, is it, ghost, ghost, is it, ghost, ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is it, ghost, is ghost, is ghost, is it, the ghost, the ghost, the ghost, the ghost, the the ghost, the ghost, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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. tho, th th tho, thoooooo. too. too. too. too. too, too, too, too, th th th th th th th th th th busters, the second one, when them like, stone goblin dog things come alive? Is that ghostbusters? Michael will know this. It's the first one. In the first ghostbusters, those sort of like stone dogs come alive and they're just like awful, horrendous, scary dogs. It was like one of those dogs.

And then she went, can I stroke tho. And the they, she went, she went, she went, she, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, the, tho, tho, tho, thoast, thoast, thoast, thoast, tho, th.

In, th. th. thi, was, was, tho. the first, tho. the first, tho. the first, thoast, the first, tho. the first, the first, in. the first, in. the first, in. th And so I then I had to get involved and I put like, and the dog was lovely, but I was shit in it. But I've got no control now. She's in control of the dog stroke situation. I've completely been cut out out the loop. Oh my God, Rob, do you know what it reminds me of? Have you ever like just sorted out a gig? Someone's approached you and you've just sorted it out without, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, th, to, th, th, the, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, they's, thin, they, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, they's, they's, they's, she's, they's, they's, they's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.... And, th. And, thin, thin, thin, thin, tho's thoes, thooes, thooooooes, thooooes, thooooes, thoooes, thoes, thoes, they's slightly easier. Yeah, and then it works out that you've double booked yourself, you're not getting paid and you've got to drive five people there. Yeah, she's doing what you're doing in that situation, Rob.

I'm her agent. Exactly. I need to be getting the first nip if the dog's going to attack. Also, I've got a huge salty Josh Widdickham story from... I don't know whether to do it or not, okay, you can cut it out, right? Cut it out. Okay, so this is a salty Josh Whitak story, Josh, but not from a stranger. This is from one of the people that work for off the curb our agents and managers. Oh right, Rick. Okay. Rick, you know already. No, it's just the kind of person that I actually would lose my call out because he's not very good at his job. Oh! I'm joking, I know he listens to the podcast.

So we've got live salt from Josh. Rick is one of my favorite people. I once found Rick, I was walking around latitude at about midnight, and there was just someone sat in the middle of the field with their head in their hands and me and Rose like should you go up and check on that person and it was Rick. Well Rick Rick now because also when you first started in comedy Rick was one of the new guys in the office he was starting out he just got the job there he was taking the bins out genuinely yeah well yeah he was doing the sort of like but they used to be in the the the the the the the the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the basement the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the they. the the the the the they. the the the the the the the the job there. He was taking the bins out, genuinely. Well yeah, he was doing the sort of entry-level jobs. But they used to be in the basement, I mean this is so boring for people that aren't interesting, but they used to be in the basement of the man that owns Angela Barnes. Angela Barnes, yeah, so loads of big comics.

Anyway, he said when he first started work for the company and he went to check on you at the Edinburgh Fringe to see if the show was going okay and everything like that, you were stood there eating a sandwich. Do you remember this? Well, so far, Rob, I'm not going to lie to you. I've eaten more sandwiches more sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches sandwiches anyway, you finished eating the sandwich. So when was this before the show? Before the show or after show, I'm not sure. You're eating a sandwich, right? Rick's there to check on you as one of the new guys in the company.

Rick needs to wind his fucking neck in, right? And then you? Why is he contacted, he's a fan. gonna have to check with flow first whenever I could tell the story but I'm not waiting. He should be checking with the person who's paying for that chair he sits on in his fucking office. Me? Oh we've got live salt! We've got live salt! Anyway you was eating a sandwich? And when you finished, you finished eating the saunct? When you finished, you finished, you finished it the wrapper and then when you just gave him the rapper to put in the bin. finished you just gave him the rapper to put in the B. Bullshit total bullshit. No he said he remembers it you just passing the rapper like he was your servant. That is do you know what that is a bullshit but B he should do that because that is part of his job.

He should take the rapper. I think I've got no memory of that. What's amazing about that, right? That's part of his job. I'm too fair at that point, I think that was part of his job. He's got the rapper taken out. I heard a story about, I mean, it's a similar thing. Backstage at Comedy Club, the person who ran it.

I won't say who the big name comic comic comic comic comic actually a really nice man. Yeah, but say his tour manager was Steve, was called Steve, he was eating a pudding backstage, stood up and he dropped his napkin, he just went, Steve, and Steve picked up his napkin! Oh no! Oh is that where you got it from? So you're saying you were... Because I didn't do this! How's Rick, right? At the time he should have gone, that is an unacceptable thing. Instead, he's gone, do you know what? I'm gonna sit on that for a decade. Yeah, but he was new.

Yeah, but he was new. He wasn't you. He was in Edinburgh together. Oh, so it's okay to hand rubbish too lower ranking people in the hierarchy? Is that what you're saying? Is that what you're saying? That just some little peasant kid could take it but not Rick is that what you're saying? No, no, what I'm saying saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What I saying? What? What? What I'm saying? What I saying? What I saying? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

Is, th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. to take in your rubbish. So why bring it up? Just take it because that's what you're paid to do. Is that what you said? Do you know what? I thought it was

going to be a different incident with Rick, so I'm quite pleased it's this one. What's the other one? I once had an argument with him. I once lost it on the phone with Rick when this was a p. This was a, how what what, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, the th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, th.

Do, the the th. Do, the th. Do, the thi. Do, the thi. Do, the thi. Do you, thi. Do you, thi. Do, thi. Do you, do, thi. Do, do, do I remember when I was doing eight out of ten cats for one of the first times, the night before I had to sleep, I had nowhere to sleep. So I had to sleep on a coat on the floor of my friend's house. Why do you have nowhere to sleep? The night before doing eight out of ten cats, right? Yeah. And then I remember like I was fucked, obviously, exhausted and very nervous. Yes, it is a hugely nerve wrecking thing to do. Yeah, and I was really new to all this and I phoned up off the curb and Rick answered, I asked him to get a car or whatever today. I had to

change the location of the car, 8 of 10 cats because I didn't know where I was or whatever. Yeah. And I was very snappy with him Rob. But bear in mind, I'd just been sleeping on a fucking coat. And then I was going to have to go on and banter about the week's news with Shored Lock. I wasn't in a great mental place. Sure Lock is quite a scary as well. Yeah. Have I told you the sh sholk the the s the s the s the the the the to to to the told told told told the told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told that told told told told told told told told told told told told. Robe. I was told. Robe. Robe. Robe. Robe. Robe. I was that that that that that that th. I was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. I was that that that th.

Have I told you the show lock story about my black eye I had? Have I told it on you? No. Well, I had a black eye from playing football, just nothing like exciting, just an arm flung around and caught me in the eye and I got a black eye and I had a black eye at five

a side goals. Anyway, I went to do a ten cats and they were trying to put makeup on it, 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to told, I had to to to to to to to to to told, I had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had to to to to the the the the the their, I had their their their their their their their their their their their today, I had their told their black, I had a black eye, I had a black eye, I had a black eye, I had a black eye, I had a black eye, I had a black eye and he went oh nothing you know nothing that interesting really is not really I can't really tell the story about it because nothing interesting happened I went all right or maybe I could like make something up he went oh someone's learning absolutely two-footed me but it was right I should have just made up a funny story well I'd like to apologize to Rick for his made-up story about the sandwich rapper. It's like that, is it? Anyway, that just made me laugh. It's a quick one, a quick little week.

So at the weekend we're doing a thing now where I have a line on the Saturday and then Lou takes the kid somewhere and Lou has a line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line line the the the the to to the to the the to to the to the the to the the the to the the the the to the the too. the the the the too. the the too. too. the the the the to the the to and Lou has a line on the Sunday and I take the kid somewhere, okay? Just because we're with each other all the time and that way the parent can have their own day or a few hours on a day. On Saturday Lou took the kids to Heave a Castle for the day. Very nice. On the Sunday I went to Sidnum Sainsbury's. It's massive I went to Sidname Sainsbury's? It's great. It looks like a football stadium. It's got a great arc on it. And it's massive, absolutely massive. It's got spec savers in there all sorts. It feels like the real world again. And yeah, I just thought that really summed up our relationship.

To be fair that she went to heave a parcel. But which did the girls enjoy? Well, yeah, they wanted as a new parenting technique. Because you know normally... Is that a parenting technique, Rob? Well yeah, I've never done it before. Or is that weakness? I think it's weakness. Because on the Saturday night they wouldn't go to sleep and Lou is having rouse of them. And she went, oh, you go up and to talk to them. And they went, what, what did you say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to, to, to, to, 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'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I. the the the the the the the the the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. the, I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th toooo. to. th th th th th th th th th tha. tha. I went, well, I haven't given meat yet. I've just given them the promise. But then they remembered, and we had chocolate milk,

we had straws, these mad little sugar straws that you used to stick in milk. They're maltise, they drove home with a pringles tube each eating it. They ate half a t have what they want. And then they were loaded with sugar and you went, your afternoon, Lou, enjoy yourself. Yeah, see you later. Bye. I watch play golf. Um, do you want some emails Rob? Yes, please. Now, I'll be honest with you. It was very tight this morning, so I didn't get to read them. So basically I'm going to give you the their their their their their their their to to to give you to the titles the titles to give you the titles the titles to give you the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles the titles you the titles you the titles the titles the titles their their to give you their to give you to give you to give you their their their their their their their their their their the titles you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you to give you the ti ti ti ti. titles titles. titles. titles. ti. ti. ti. ti. to to to ti. to to you want how to help Josh with his baby naming dilemma? Hmm. Or, Ivory Tower? Oh, yes, I have a bit of Ivory Taylor. Professor from your Ivy Tower. Basically, it's first row problems.

Sucker. Okay. So this is people complaining about things they shouldn't because their life is actually quite nice. Is that correct? Yeah. But you can see their point of view, but you can't actually moan to anyone about it. No, exactly.

Hi, Rob and Josh. When we moved to a four-bedroom house, I thought, this was great, plenty of space for me and my husband and two girls. Little did I realize when lockdown happened, our usual cleaner could no longer come, it would me, cleaning three bathrooms and a downstairs toilet. Four toilets! That's too many toilets, isn't it? Well I'd love to know, have they ever been used for a shit all at the same time? What all four members of the family? Going for shit at the same time? Yeah. Lovely family trip to the toilet. How many toilets have you got? How many toilets have the same time, Rob? the the toyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoy. th. thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thi, thi, thi, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all all, all, all all all all all all all, all all all. What th. What th. What th. What, all, all. What, all.

So you could, you could do three ships, do you think that's ever been three ships at the same time, Rob?

I think I'd definitely put money on two? Yeah. But not where it... Is everyone showering in the morning before school as well? Yeah, yeah, we're not dirty bastards, Josh. No, I was just checking. That must have been started so early. But if you're having a bath, but if you're having a bath, the rule was, if someone needed to come in and have a bath, they're a told, 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, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they.a, to too, too, to they.a, too, too, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, they. Yeah, but my dad would sometimes do a shit when we're having a bath and that was, that was unacceptable, but it did happen. That was awful. Did you stay in the bath in that situation? I do, for me, I'd get out and leave and I just say, well if you're doing a poo, you've ended my bath, and the baths, the baths, theyrown, you've ended up the baths, the the tha's just just just gets gets what am I doing in here? I don't like baths, I've got no time for them. If someone said you can never have a bath again, I wouldn't give a shit.

Fair enough. There you've said it. He said it, you don't care, this guy? I can't give a shit. Take my sandwich wrapper and fuck off. Andrew from time to theu theu to tower confession. So what was hers? You just it took so long to clean the house? Too long, moved in the house, too big, that it took too long to clean. Oh, yeah, that is a hard one to moan at anyone about that, and it. Yeah. How about this one? Andrew Gavard. We briefly lived in a Victorian semi. We had to have two hoovers. Wravehs.

One of them, I've one of them, you can't live in a two dice and property. No. Come on. You can't have two, it's too much. It's too much, it takes up too much space. Yeah, exactly. I've got a ivory tower confession for you, Robbushing. So I've I've I I've the ivory, well I've the ivory, well, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've their, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've to, I've their, I've their, their, their, you their, you're their, you're their, you their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, their, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their, their, the?

He got to be good to people on the way up, you know, because you meet them on the way down, Josh. It will be you be, you be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be, you'll be the th.

It'll be, you'll be taking his sandwich wrapper soon. So, when you're Kevin Bridget's tour manager in about eight years time.

It would be such a shit tour manager. So, AirCon, Rob, yeah? We live in a house that is so hot in the summer and I'm anticipating it. Am I going to have to buy an aircon unit? Because my daughter's moved up to the second floor. Look, you're in a terraced house and they get so hot. Especially on the roof, especially on the roof. They're so big these aircon units, Rob. Well, you can get one that's put on the wall but then you've got to have all pipes running down the side of the house but I don't know if you have space for that because you're terrace. No, yeah.

So you might- What do you do, Rob? Fan? Oh, have you ever tried to sleep in a hot room with a fan? It is the shittest thing. There's no point at which you go a rea that really thin sheet and then you just whip your naked leg out and all the fan goes up your ass. Do you ever do that? No. Stiff, that's what mate.

I don't think that's the line for a stiff neck. I just love that and then it'll go under the sheet. I think athat's the problem they're expensive I can't live in a two Dyson fan household Rob I think everyone's gonna need aircon soon if climate change keeps going the way it is well our my house is unacceptably hot during the summer so you're gonna have a three aircon unit house well and then there's Rose's mom. If she's staying to help out. Oh, she don't need one. She'd just be up for a night. Fuck her.

I can't demand that. Where's my Air Con Unit? Open a window, you're a lunatic. I've got another problem with Air that's Robert. Oh, what is it? Saw eyes? You want Rob Beckett Guardian eye from the fan? Much worse. The aircon unit that's in my daughter's old bedroom that's in the new nursery.

Yeah. It's like Cludo this. I'm so confused about your ass. You know the big tube that goes from the aircon unit that you stick out the window? No, but I've had a tumble dryer. I throwed on the right page, is that right? Similar, like that? Yeah. I think the builder threw it away, Rob. Oh my God, that is a stressful purchase, isn't it?

How do you buy a bit of air contube? When do you buy a bit of air con tube? When you buy a bit of air-con tubing. Yeah, totally. You've got no idea. What are you going to do? I wouldn't even know where to start with a tube.

I wouldn't even know where to start with fit all of the tubes or is they going to be? What if they say what they're not going to fit the tube are they? It's like the Apple and the headphones, isn't it? Oh my god. It's a different little thing. USB's not a thing anymore of it, U.S.C. and my poor dad's just putting new plug so it, with USBs on it.

What are you going to write? AirCon Tube into Amazon? Yeah, I'm going to do that right now. Do that right now. Tell me how it goes. Also, do you think Amazon could have had. Oh no. Oh no, here we go.

AirCon, Ose Pipe, it's an O's Pipe PVC. You get a bit of mask intake with it. That don't look like the right. Oh God. 1750, I found the tube you're after, but it looks so massive, mate. It looks like one that the kid could climb through. Well, can you cut up a bit of air cotton tube? What's it made out? You know it's gonna fray if you cut it. You can't cut it. You're better off hoping someone in China has a factory making a million of them and then you can buy it for 15 quid. That's your only hope. You know what Rob? I know this is a big decision. I think it's probably easier if I just move. The problem is the problem is the problem. There the problem is the problem is. There the problem is. There the problem is. There. There. There. There the problem is. There. There the problem is. There. There. There. There the problem is, the problem is, the problem is, the problem is, the problem is, the problem is, the problem is, the problem. There, the problem.

And there is no way you'll know which one.

You're going to get seven delivered and it'll be about hundred quid because you know, who sends back the aircon tube for eight quid? Just put it in the dump pile, don't you? Oh, what a life. Or have I changed? Or have I got a flash all of a new feature? Yeah, we'll just do emails the thue thue thue thue thue thue can do, this is a new, this is our new feature, yeah, we'll do more email, we'll just do emails on Friday because we've spoken loads.

And I think it's fair that we give everyone a shout out. Because we do advertising sort of for big companies, don't we on here.

But this is going to be sort of a little freebie advertising section for different people. For different people, to different products. And our first one, so if you've got small business, you want us to shout out, please email us, hello at lockdown parenting.co. UK, but please, please, please, please, and I can't stress this enough. We get so much correspondence, please in the subject to put small business shout out, so we know it's for that and it's not emails about, you know, ivory towers or kids doing shit on planes. This week, the first one, Josh, is called Stand for Sox, and it's a company, and their website is W.W. the stand for socks.

Yeah, I think that I think genuinely I know it's obviously it's been a mad tough time for so many people over the last year. I hope that we're coming to the end of it but you know what if you've waded through the 45 minutes of us grumbling about our lives, I feel like we owe you this. Exactly. And yeah, especially if you've started something new and you're, you know, may have lost your job this year and you're trying a new project or a new company, let us know and we'll give you a big up.

That's a nice way to end the shout-outs I think on a Tuesday we should end the podcast of a nice message. Yeah? Something positive. Is this an apology from Rick for making up stories? This is a, no, you need to deal with that independently with Rick and then thrush it out. I'll be honest with you Rob. I didn't think he'd last as long at the company as he has. Anyway here we go. This is a nice message to end the podcast on an upbeat note. I would appreciate if you kept me anonymous. Hi, Rob and Josh, massive thank you for the podcast. My partner and I are both junior doctors, getting married in two weeks and with a baby on the way in September. We also got caught up in doing a self-build.

What's a self-build? Oh, a self-build. What's a self-build? I presume it's building your own house, right? Oh, a self-build. Okay, well, a self-buy. That must, that's stressful. Getting married. Little tip, get some fucking air-con in there. Well, at least, at least the piping. Come on. Self-build some piping. Yeah, so that is stressful. They've got a baby on the way, junior doctors. And getting married, to the podcast of Nadia Hussein in my car and had to pull over. I just begun weeping. Without going into great detail, I've been struggling with my mental health and was hitting breaking point. It was a tough listen. I'd kept it pent up and really didn't want to worry my fiancee, thinking she didn't need any more on her plate. I've built myself up and spoke with her and since I've spoken to my own GP. I'm still struggling and suspect I will be for the foreseeable future, but I feel that just talking about it was progression.

If you can pass on a thank you to Nadia, that would be massively appreciated and thank you both for bringing us a brilliant podcast. It really has meant a lot. Best Wissage, oh, that's nice, isn't it right? And it just shows this guy, he's getting married, he's got baby on the perfect sort of life and it shows that anyone can be struggling and the best way about it is to talk and admit that you're struggling and get help. So well done to you, Anonymous, and good luck with the house and feeling better.

I think it's a great reflection on the power of someone like Nadia talking about what she's been through. Massively. So well done Nadia. She's saving lives one flapjack at a time. And just to think it's all because of her husband's thighs. Anyway, that's been the podcast. Thank you for listening. We're back on Friday and I'll see you then.

Cheers, bye. Bye.
