Starting point is 00:00:27 The forward government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year. If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government. Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools.C.A. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. Hello, I'm Josh Riddickham. And I'm Robbeckin. Welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell. The show in which Rob and I discuss what it's like to be a parent during lockdown, which I would say can be a little tricky. And to make a little tricky. So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation,
Starting point is 00:01:15 and to make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills. Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping. Or hopefully not. And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown parenting woe. Because let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. Hello and you are listening to lockdown parent in hell with. Is he Josh? Is it Josh See Josh Josh Beckett Not Josh Beckett
Starting point is 00:01:47 You see Josh Widdickum And Rob Beckett Beckett That's one of my favorites that was very cute so quiet. It's like a little borrower. Yeah, borrower voice and Can I ask a question Josh little borrower. Yeah, borrower voice. And can I ask a question, Josh? Is borrower too old as a reference point now?
Starting point is 00:02:09 There's not been a rehash of the borrowers. No, I think it's fine. Do you know, I think Hilsie did a borrower joke on the last leg of the last episode, the, you know, they're little people that they're so little that they won't get offended. Yeah, they're not going to get any angry letters from borrowers, don't worry. Okay, good. They can't bloody reach the letterbox, am I right? I think I don't read them anyway. They're all tiny pencils.
Starting point is 00:02:34 So, thin, the's her daughter Summer Rose Good Year, age almost two. Almost two, Summer Rose Good Year. What a name that is. I feel like Summer Rose Good Year is either going to be this sort of like floaty, hippie through life of just like magical, just doing, I just do this now, just do that, or the biggest Karen has ever existed with that name. You could just imagine her with like a perm shouting about a football going in a garden. Well judge it from this then let's judge it from this. We are very fortunate after many years we're trying to conceive naturally in through IVF we have a gorgeous almost two year old girl however after multiple 4 a.m.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Wom mommu mommie at the top of her voice or Gruffello where are you on repeat to the bed with us to try and still getting up and starting our day. Four a.m. I thought we'd try voice recording. So that's at four a.m. I was going to say it. Well, what is to be fair, I reckon I could sleep through the top of her voice. I won't bother me.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah. That's not waking me up. I mean, you've got to do something for it for him. Why not record something for a podcast? Exactly. Well, I've actually, do you know what? I'm going to come to worries about sleeping, my own worries about sleeping later. But it's a huge, hugely sad day for me, Rob. Oh no, what's happened? I don't know whether you've ever experienced something like this, Rob. But I've slipped down the pecking order in terms of famous people from my secondary school. Oh, well it's a head-to-head fight between me and Tom Allen at our school and I think he's going
Starting point is 00:04:14 to overtake me or he's already nudging me ahead. I think I got to tell him before him but he's now bigger and better than me. Not at all. Not at all. It's neck and neck with me and Tom. I mean, Bradley from East Enders was far and away. Charlie Clements was destroying us for years. Yeah. And the stench of Steve Backe and he was still in the gym changing. I don't know if he went to the school but he lived in the area. But you know you knew he'd been there. You knew he'd thrown down on that on that on that but um yeah so me and Thomas are sort of neck and neck in it who's who's from your school? Did you watch England be Sammarina last night? No I didn't because I enjoy a competitive sport. Olli Watkins who scored on his England debut last night went to my school. Ollie yes he is more famous than you now he He's beaten you, Josh. It's absolute heartbreak. And also, the tragic thing is, I reckon,
Starting point is 00:05:09 if you had a good night's sleep, you could have scored against San Marino as well. If you've had the opportunity. He's gonna be going to the bloody euros, Rob. Well, all I'd say is, doing the Paralympics, the Olympics, the last leg for years and years. He can't just turn up and get a tapping. Was it a tapping?
Starting point is 00:05:32 I don't know. I don't watch it. But anyway, he has overtaken, Josh, I'm afraid. the P.S.P..P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.A. The. The. The. The. The. The. The. The. The. The.

It. It. It. It... It......................................................................................................................................................... Dinnie. He must be absolutely fucking buzzing, Mr. Dinnie. Well yeah, considering what he had to work with the generation before and then he got delivered Olly Watkins. It's a real jump, isn't it? You know, it's that Hobbit to Ork, the power of O've got like a got some skin in the game now. Do you know what I mean? Well yeah it's good to
Starting point is 00:06:07 it ups your game that's what I'd say about being the famous person from your school. You're now you've got to now compete with Olly Watkins and try and trump him you know. Well could he deliver a blistering 20 up the creek comedy club on a Friday night. No, because I couldn't back in the day. God, so I did I did it before you did it. I thought I need to get in here, mate. I sniped you during a mid-self harm line from you. I felt horrible then, you was already pulling yourself down. Well, I'll tell you what, if I'd said that and neither of us had picked up on it, it would have been a shame on you, but no, to be fair, Josh,
Starting point is 00:06:47 you are an excellent comedian and you would strike fear in the heart of all the other open-mite comics when you turn up at competitions. And we all know you beat me at the Lester Mercury competition back in 2010, even though you've been going two years longer than me, but let's not get bogged down by the the the the the the the the the competition, the competition, the thion thion the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, to, to, to, to, to, to, tho, tho, you, you, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to be thi, to be thi, to be to be thi, thi, thi, thi, to be to be to be too, too, too, and, too, too, too, toooooooooooooo, and too, too, too,. Yeah even though I got to go on in the second half because I've been in a train crash. Okay let's not get bogged down by the past Josh just talk about the present. What else has been happening in your life? I'm a bit worried. That's classic widows though, isn't it? Yeah, no not about it. That's neutral. Just general. So I've got to go away away to film film.

What's the problem?
Starting point is 00:07:29 I just got a mental block and I haven't had to do it for a year and now I'm really nervous that I'm not going to be able to sleep. I've already seen that the call is fine the next morning. Judge, you are, you are, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, you, you, you, you have, you have, you have, you have, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th to have, have, have, have, the the the the the the the the the the the picked the wrong podcast to complain about going to a hotel on your own. There will be zero, everyone's listening to this, just going, fuck off. Just stay awake all night, you'll still have more energy than looking after kids. But I think I'm gonna stay awake or not. I just, I've already talked my way out of it, Rob. Well, can I tell you what I would tell. I would take my own pillow. I do that anyway. I would also take a candle that then makes the room smell nice. Laura Whitmore, Tom, with this actually.
Starting point is 00:08:11 She always takes a candle with her when she travels, and it's the same candle she has at home, so then the room smells at home. Oh, that's good get some shut-eye. Oh God I'm nervous about it. I'll be interested to know how you get on but it'll be interesting as well to hear about the parenting podcast when you're not parenting. You might sound completely different. How's it been with her parenting though? How's how's Rose as well because she's quite heavily pregnant now? Movable, the movable? How's it? How's those? How's the the the the the the the the the the the there? How's the there? How's the there? the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th. th. th. 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 to to to to to to to to to to th.

It's so much more difficult than the first one, isn't it? Did you find this? Well it's because there's a kid running about, thinne it? Because there's a kid running about, yeah. So it's just like... Are you carrying a lot of the nursery runs? Yes, understandably. Yes. And I'm not going to lie, Rob. The news we had last thr-I I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. the the th. th. the the 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It's. It's. It's. It's, th lie, Rob, the news we had last week that one of the teachers lives near us and is willing to bring our daughter home for a small fee is probably the greatest news I've ever had in my life.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Right, what's the fee? What's the fee? What, the fee? Surely she's on a way, is it? Yeah, but you can't go, you're all right, she's just to do.... 12 pounds. 12 pounds, what a week? No, because it's an hour, isn't it? She takes her from the nursery to our house, which takes more or less an hour. Really? Is it an hour walk? On the bus? On the bus? On the bus? So do you normally drive her to nursery then? I, you can walk it in half an hour. You can get the an hour on the bus? It takes 45 minutes, but you've got to wait for the bus, you. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:09:45 So she gets the bus home with her. This is miles away this nursery. Yeah, well, it is Rob. I knew the woman who ran it, and she's really nice. And then we went to look at it. It's a bit like, you had to. You had this this this this this this th the school the school the school the school to go to difficult to then go yeah but this one I don't like is nearer. You paint 12 quid a day for your... No, she does it once or twice a week. All right okay I get you. All right fair enough. So you can use it if you've got work or
Starting point is 00:10:11 beatings. All right I'll get you. Okay fair enough. I can say that is a that is a especially the London council tax has got up by 9 honest with you Rob, I opened the letter, looked at it and this is how a cross finance I am. I thought, bloody hell, that's steep. Maybe I just didn't realize it's always been that steep. No, but it's their skin. I didn't realize, I just presume that's what I'd always been paying because I'm not really across stuff like that. Josh, we've just stumbled into the mundane chat of the week. Sorry. There's two men furious about their counts of tax bills, even though one of them pays 12 quid for their kid to get a bus home. What does Possible sound like for your business?

But the parenting bid okay, you've got that you've got the babysitting, that's helping then with Rose pregnant.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yeah, it's all good. It's all good at the moment. I, should I be honest about how I'm feeling about the second one? Yes. Very excited about the baby. Yes, of course. Excited about Rose not being pregnant anymore. I think she cannot fucking wait.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I think my tha th, it it it's tha, it's tha, it's tha, thatuuuatuatuatuatuatuatuatatatatatatatatatat, the that, that, the that, that, that, their that, that, that, that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's thus, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, it's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the that, the the the that, the the the the that, that, the that, the that, that, that that that that that that that that Yeah. I think my main concern is my daughter's reaction to the new baby. Yes, but that's classic anxiety and you literally, there's nothing you can do now, thinking about it, it's a waste of time because there's nothing you can do until it comes. So you just have to try and blank that out and I hope for the best. Was it all right for you? Because my mates the mate tha that my mate that my mate that my mate thathea, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi. I's, is thi. thi. thi. thi, blank that out. And I hope for the best. Was it all right for you? Because my mates just had a baby. And his son, he ain't happy about it. How old's the son? Two and a half? Two and a half?
Starting point is 00:12:32 The present thing works, bringing them back a present. And just making sure you've got tie. Yeah, I think it's a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit a bit bit bit bit. They get them really well, the five-year-old and three-year-old get them really well, but my oldest was coming back from school talking about her friends' brothers going, and their sisters at the school go, yeah, they don't like their sister because they make their house messy. So I think it's uni so I wouldn't get too stressed. Exactly, exactly. How has your parenting been? Do you know what? It's really uptits game
Starting point is 00:13:10 today because the coffee machine has been broke. I've been on instant coffee and now I'm back on grinding my own bean man. I'm grinding my bead in the morning and I'm flying. I'm a souped up football hooligan on an away day. Four cans in. How many coffees are you on a day? Just the one at the start? Paraly, three. No, I'm two or three. Two or three. Two or three if it's been bad.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Oh, and what time would you be your, do you have like, to be your, do you have, like, I'm over, I, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, the, to, to, to, to. 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,'clock. Yeah, which is quite late but I'm loving it. I'm loving life. I think I'm I'm over getting a dog. I saw a lady with a great dame picking up its shit with two hands. I've never seen a two and shit pick before have you? Two hands in the bag. It was such a big shit? Yeah. Oh God. I've never, so that's put me off. What else has happened? Oh, there's been a terrible problem. My cat Alan has been eating ice creams that he's got out of the freezer himself and wiping the ice cream on the wall with his paw according to my three-year-old. Oh, I see. So I can send you the photo. There's finger marks of ice cream that's been wiped on the wall. And said to the three-year-old what happened here and she said Alan did it and proceeded to explain that Alan goes to the freezer and gets ice creams out, eats them and wipes his finger on
Starting point is 00:14:38 the wall and the five-year-old backed her up and said yes he does dothat, I saw it. He's got big old paws, doesn't he? He's got big, almost like hands, aren't they? But the thing is, what I'd say is, yeah, sure, my daughter does rub ice cream on the wall, but she ain't a fucking grass. Exactly, do you know what, Rob? They're not grasses. They'll back each other. They don't like you or respect you, but together, they really...
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah, they treat me like a screw at prison. They're like Thelma and Louise. But yeah, so that's, I'm going to have to talk to Alan about that, the cat for wiping ice cream on the wall. But then what I did was, I was like, well, make sureto let me know so that's that's that's that's sorted I tell you what did happen though right we've but you're aware of this because we can't do live shows anymore at theatres are all shut because of the old pandy d I do for an industry or a company or a company conference. They'd get a comedian on at the end with a magician. Anyway, I did one for this company and I always try and get an interesting fact about all the people
Starting point is 00:15:52 that are attending so that I can have a bit of a chat with them. So it's not just me sort of doing jokes awkwardly on Zoom. There's a bit of interaction. It makes it a bit more unique. Anyway, so I got all the info through and there was, you know, classic stuff like, oh, you know, I went to school with Jamiro Choir, you talk about that. A bird once slapped me around the face with a burger, it is like a Seago attacked, you know, all all these sort of funny things that have happened. I got drunk at Redding. Anyway, one, one person, It came up and it said, I've I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I've I've I've one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one Baftas. Whoa! This is, what a story this is, okay? I was Romesh. Anyway, so I thought, I talked to this person because it was, it was like in a different industry, it wasn't even, I was like,
Starting point is 00:16:34 so I was chatting to her and I go, um, oh yeah, so what did you win the bafters for? She said, well, writing, but I didn't write it, someone else wrote it, and for best drama. And I was like, what? It turns out it was a drama satisization of this woman's life story who'd been in a tragic, horrendous accident. Okay. I'm not going to say what it was for the privacy reason, but like lots of people died and she survived. So the mood obviously dropped and it was this horrific story about this woman's sort of survival from this this ic accident. I'm trying to do a comedy set. So obviously my first reaction is, right? Right, you're stretching it, that you've on a baftery. Like, sure it's about you.
Starting point is 00:17:12 But you've not done the legwork, but I didn't bring that up. She's been from a lot, right? Exactly. Oscar Schindler didn't win an Oscar. toe. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. thiii. toe. toe. thi. toe. thi. thi. thi. toe. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. thi. toe. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. I th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thr. the. the. So. toe whole thing confusing. So anyway, that's fine. I didn't want to bog down on that. And I thought, how am I going to get out of this? We're now talking about a tragic life story that she's managed to overcome and get a career somewhere else. You'll never guess what her next fact was after she told And it was like a gift from the comedy gods. She had done the Congo with Frankie DeToria a wedding. Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh, I was like, here we go. Beckets back in the game. I've rescued victory from the jaws of defeat!
Starting point is 00:17:55 Oh wow! I couldn't believe it. It was, it was magic, Josh, and I've never been so stressed. Oh, did it? He led it. He led it. He led it. Of course he bloody did. And I said how, you know, was it just you two?
Starting point is 00:18:10 And she went, yeah, we'll at the start. They're not at the end. Because I don't know about you. If you're at a wedding, and you with Frankie Dutori. In my head he's in his jockey outfit. I know he's not. Right, green. But in my head he's wearing the full, whatever they call the silks. And he's whipping, or you're giving them hole for them to bite? She doesn't eat, she's on raisins now, which are tiny grapes. She doesn't eat grapes? She doesn't eat grapes. Well we haven't really had any grapes in in ages.
Starting point is 00:18:54 But were we to get grapes? Do I need to cut them? the thi tho' th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's thin, she's thin, she's thin, she's thin, she's tho, she's tho, she's thin' thin' tho, she's tho, she's tho, she's tho, she's tho, she's tho, she's So we've been cutting them but now Lou saying the youngest is three, I still think too young to trust with biting them in half.

You chopped the tomato, you'd chop a grape, but you haven't had any in, she's still on raisins, fair enough. Okay, next one, lollipop. Do you let them, you know, like a chab-chub, put the whole lollip in the mouth or does they just lick it? And I don't know why I'd tell them this but I'm not the loky the whole lollipop in the mouth, isn't it? Yeah, she hasn't really, she's not into lollipops, it's, she's an ice cream lolly person.
Starting point is 00:19:46 But not, she's not had a chub-chub type lolly. She has and I don't think she was that fast. You know what I mean? She's, ice cream, mad. She's like, she's absolutely obsessed with the situation because my nursery is four billion miles away from me that she will often fall asleep in the Pram home Which is obviously disastrous Yes, that is a nightmare So I've got in a situation of getting her an ice cream on the way home just purely to keep her awake
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah, but to be fair. She sounds like she's on some sort like city banker commute the commute. It's an hour commute. That's a long day for a kid. Halfway through the commute. She the commute. She the commute. She. She. She. She's the commute. She. She's the commute. She. She's th. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's. She's.

Halfway through the commute, she's got through the metro. She's got nothing else to read. The metro has got to be the most pointless paper in it. It's like reading Twitter three days later. It's like a nostalgia piece. Oh yeah, I remember that. Oh, there's a boat stuck in the Sue's canal. Who knew? It's a ship. That's a that might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might might that might that might that might that might that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that.

Starting point is 00:20:51 News at this point. But if you are coming to this podcast for your news, you're making a huge mistake. Can I tell you a pet peeve of parenting, Josh? Yeah. A PPP? APIE? A parenting pet peeve, the triple PEE is when the kids slightly older, I'd say ranging from about 9 to 13, and like if they're walking along with their parent and say they're at the school or something, they cross along the grass and the parent feels awkward and the parent goes, oh, what are you doing, Abigail? Don't go on the grass. You must go on the pave, the park. Don't go on the grass, go on the path for the pavement. And then sort of gives me an eye roll,
Starting point is 00:21:31 because they're sort of awkward. Are they worried about what you're sort of worried. their today. their, yeah, yeah, yeah, thoahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahs, I I was was, I was, I was, I was, I was, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th th th th tho. thoes. thoes. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. t toooooooooooooooooooa. ta. to. to. to. to. the the thooooooooooooo. their. of their child. But then that as a kid used to really annoy me so then you're just sort of embarrassing the child for no reason and I don't care if anything you make me feel better about my kids because your ones being naughty. My dad used to quite enjoy embarrassing us Rob as children. I think my dad would have enjoyed us crossing the grove like he would as a kind of old hippie from the 60s he quite liked the idea the groan. Like he would, as a kind of old hippie from the 60s, he quite liked the idea of his children being a bit rebellious, do you know what I mean? So he would encourage the grass walk? He wouldn't encourage the grass walk, but he certainly wouldn't have worried about you
Starting point is 00:22:16 walking across the grass. Yeah, I mean, there's only a little corner of it, but I think the people get so awkward and panicked and I'm like, your kids's you if you keep doing that, like an embarrassing him in front of other grownups. Yeah, how are your parents? Would they embarrass you in front of other grownups? Oh my god, my dad's a nightmare. Is he? He's such an attention seeker. Really?
Starting point is 00:22:34 What kind of things would do you do? They were very welcoming. the point of they were more entertaining than us. So they'd go around there, my dad would be like, it would all be sitting and watching the telly and he'd walk in and then just start going, oh look, you know, if you've got your jeans a bit low, oh we're in your jeans low, are you? Like that? Oh, I see, couldn't try and cuddle me in front of my mates when I'm about 14 and all that? Oh my God, Rob. But it, not nothing, it wasn't, it wasn't never too awkward and embarrassing, like if your parents,
Starting point is 00:23:11 because they weren't stiff-necks, they were quite loose, but it's not anything. and they're embarrassing because the parents are weird. That's a different level, isn't it? There's, yeah, I think the worst would you go to someone's house and it'd be quite sterile, do you know what I mean? Yes, or they tell them off and then you're sat there, the worst is when your friend, and you're sat there and like,
Starting point is 00:23:34 this is the worst thing that was awful. What I once went to, he wasn't a friend. He was like, you know when you're tentatively, is this person gonna be my friend? I must have been about 12. There was a lot of farmers at my school, Rob. And also when it was bailing season, they'd get time off as well to help with the bailing. Like it was the fucking 1900s. Yeah, so I'm an that's, I I'm an evacu, this. So anyway, oh if I told you this about my primary school. So my primary
Starting point is 00:24:06 school was so small, yeah, that they didn't have any room to cook lunches on site. Oh leave it out. So when we answered the register in the morning, rather than saying here we had to say packed or dinner's. Right, depending on whether you have packed lunch or whether you wanted to school dinners. And then one of the children, and we would have been at eight or whatever, was tasked with counting up the amount of people who said dinners, and then going to the phone and then going to the phone and then the next school who would then send their dinners across. You had to the six in today that are having dinners and they deliver six luncheon. Who he brought across? You didn't have a kitchen at your school? We didn't have a kitchen. Is that just like a church hall? I don't think that's a school. But that felt so normal to me.
Starting point is 00:24:52 That's not a school mate. That's just a built, it's like warehouse. Did you to a friend's house? Did you thi. to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. to go. to go. to th. to go. th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their church. their their church. their church. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. touch. touch. to. touch. touch. touch. touch. to. touch. touch. touch. touch. touch. th. th. tea and playing. Yeah, so that's what I was saying. When I was 12 or 13 at secondary school, I went around to a potential friend's house. I had lots of friends that actually like me. I think we were doing like a school, we'd been paired together in a school project or whatever. He was a farmer's son. And him and his mom. I've never met of farmer mates.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I know I'll be very clear of I haven't got loads of farmer mates. You went to school with farmers? Yeah that is a very different thing to having farmer mates. I reckon I could get a gun quicker than a farmer to my ass. Well the irony is Rob they've all got guns. I'll ask him, you a farmer by any chance. I went around to his house and so it was some school project. He wanted, right? we had to do a project on, say it was the Aztecs or whatever, he just got a PC. He said we could just print it off in Carter and I was like, that is not gonna fly. In Carter, it was basically the internet when we were at school. Yeah, it was better than the internet. Let's be honest. Carter 97. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:06 So you need it. It got too complicated after that. I got a computer. I had in Carter on it. It had the internet. I tried them both. And I was like, Him and his mum had these stand-up rouse that were like nothing I'd ever seen in my life, right?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Really? And then in the afternoon, he said, do you want to go ferreting? You have been ferreting, Rob? You've been ferreting, Rob? No, but I'm just going on and carter to find out what it is. What's ferreting? Ferreting is he had some ferrets and you'd go and try and like catch mice with ferrets. Well how do you want to catch a hedges? This was the 90s. Yeah but what would it be is that like a farming purpose thing to stop the mice eating in the crops or something or is it just a bit of a
Starting point is 00:27:00 little? Maybe I mean how effective it that's what they say about hunting, isn't it? It's like to keep the fox numbers down or whatever. I've never heard of a mouse eating chickens though. No, no, no, no. I don't know how much a field of corn is ruined by a mouse. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, just the poor bastard mouse. So how many ferrets. So, were they on Leeds or did they just come back? Were they trained to come back? I don't know, you just put them down a hole and then they just come back, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I think had quite a weird upbringing, Rob. Do you know what? Yeah, I think you are. Do you thrown. Do you're worried all think the Germans are going to invade in two years. Email in if you had a more rural upbringing than me. I do remember going to people's houses after school and I'd walk in and I could just I could just smell if there was no banter in the house. You know you just get a feel like this house there's nothing happening in here. This is a banter free zone this. I remember going to my friend's house, two of us went in and it stunk like a barber's. I've never been
Starting point is 00:28:10 in a place that smells more like. And my other friend that I was with, like, you know, you don't realize what a barber's smell like until you smell a barber's. Do you know that? Is it that weird like watery stuff they put the scissors in and the blades? Yeah, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, like, like, like, like, like, like, thin, like, thin, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, they they they, that, that, that, they, that, that, that, that, the blades. Yeah I think it's the hair spray that maybe only barbers use or whatever. Yes, when they spray all your hair down there. Yeah. And we walked in and obviously you're polite and I thought I'm not going to say it. And then my other mate who would come around to his house went, bloody hell it smells like a barber's in here. The only places I could smell a lush and subway sandwich shop. There are two smells. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I don't think there's any other high street smells other than those two that get me every time. When they reopen, walk into a barbers have a sniff. Oh my God. I'll pop in Tony and guys for a quick sniff. I mean, going past Lush is like being involved in chemical warfare. It's horrendous. How much of working in there? Oh my God, that we've got tiny little eyes. Just saw a little guard, Rob Beckett, the guardian eyes, just peeking out. Rob.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yes. Yes. Do you want some emails? Oh, yes, please. Oh, shall I open a present? Yes, we need to, we didn't do one last week did we keep forgetting. She's not saying that she's never gonna she's pregnant and got a baby on the way. Okay so these are presents from 2018 that I found in a bag that my wife is still not sent to our relatives. Yep. So this is for Brendan. Oh this is a good
Starting point is 00:29:42 this is one I chose Rob. That's not do you know what? That's an absolute kick in the Jaffers, isn't it? Kick in the Jaffers! I love, I've never heard you say that. We're getting a lot of feedback, Josh saying that you say I'm not gonna lie a lot. Yeah, I do say I'm not gonna lie a lot, don't I? Are they saying it's too annoying? They say, if anything, you should say it more. Imagine the opposite of that. And that's the feedback. But a kick to the Jaffers is great. I like that. I'll give 20 Peter Charity every time I say I'm not going to lie. That doesn't count because that was using it as an example. Fair enough. It's a book called the Anatomy of Manchester United history and 10 matches for the uncle. Can I guess the match? Who is a Manchester United fan?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Yeah, go on. The 99 Champions League Final. Yeah, it's got to be in there, isn't it? Oh, wow, Rob. Or is it the 99 semi-final against Arsenal? Yeah, it's the semifinal.

Starting point is 00:31:05 Come on Brahmans. Hi, Rob and Josh. I was listening to Gabby Logan episode today while out on my post round and it jogged a memory of something that happened to me many years ago. Gabby was talking about the time her child was in a pram and it nearly rolled off the pavement on the road in front of a lorry while she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside she was outside outside while she was outside Café Nero on Barnes High Street. God, he's got a good memory. Absolutely, every detail there.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Is that a copper? Well, I tell you why, she said that a bloke in shirt and jeans stopped it just in the nick of time. I think it may have been me. Yes! That's amazing! I lived right opposite Cafe Neera at the time, just above the man in unsuitable clothing for cold November day also matches me. Being a posty, I'm normally always in shorts and totally underdressed
Starting point is 00:31:52 for cold weather conditions both in and out of work time. I remember nipping down from my flat to head to the local shop to get something on the way back. I have a vague memory of seeing a pram roll away from a small group of Barnes' muums. And she's definitely a Barnes mum, isn't she, Gabby? Absolutely superb terminology. Anyone who's been in Barnes will know Barnes mum is an absolute, it creates an image, doesn't yeah, absolutely ripped a shit, successor in their career, loads of kids, smashing flat white, seven a day, boom, let's go, yoga. I have a vague memory of seeing a prarara prprprprprpremememememem pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr pr prem of a prem of s prem of s prem of s a th. I th. I th. I th.

Starting point is 00:32:25 mums towards the road. I'm not sure I realized there was a child in the pram when I stopped it. I just didn't want to cause an accident. Oh my God, it was that was bad. It didn't feel like a big deal at the time and I didn't want to make a scene as it might be the size the size the size the size the size the size the size in the size of her kid now, I think the lorry had a lucky escape. Love the podcast. What a legend. I love, I've never met a bad posty. Post men and women are absolute legends. And I've got a question about the shorts. Do you think being a post person, post back, you're not without sex? What's the word now? What's the woke word? For a postal worker? Postal worker. The sexy sexy voice Michael slipped in, producing from the back,
Starting point is 00:33:08 playing it up top. A postal worker. I bet he's got that man united book as well, haven't you, I don't actually. I message on the group, I'll take it if no one's having it. Right. So postal worker, which I'm going to say I would never have got to. Right, so postal worker, yeah, always wear shorts. Do they pick that job because they want to wear shorts or it's just the right attire for the job? What do you reckon? Yeah, I think it's peer pressure once you there. Because I like wearing shorts, Rob. I'm wearing shorts at the moment. Don't you said you didn't like wearing shorsese. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thatting. thatting. thatheatheat, thatheat, thatheat, thatheatheatheatheatheatheat, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th.

Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah, but that's because it's a six-hour-round trip. Yeah, exactly, actually, exhausted by the time. You don't be hot with a coat on doing that. I think, I think it's peer pressure Yeah, also he called, he went, the other day, he went, I love that show, do with rash. I've, people get Romish's name wrong a lot, but I have never heard it be rashed off. Rash. I've had Ramesh, Rajesh, Rajesh. Rash. Rash isn't an Asian name, is it? Rash, he sounds like a cartoon character. Oh, Rush and Splinter, the whole two rabbits that are really fast.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Anyway, yeah, so well done James for saving the baby. Yeah, good work to James. Do you want a lockdown low point? Always. Which is small things that have tipped you over the edge during lockdown. I'm eight months pregnant and have been redecorating prior to the baby's arrival. Need a new carpet for the nursery, and I broke into tears because I couldn't stroke the carpet samples to see how soft they were due to buying them online. Low moment? That is the best bit of carpet buying, isn't it? It is the best bit of carpet buying. You go to the shop, you rub your hand on them and go,
Starting point is 00:35:12 oh, I don't like that. And then, because then, if you get to rub it, you realize the one you're getting is really nice, compared to all the others. But online you don't get that, you that, you that, you that, you don't get tha, you don't, you don can't you? Don't tell her that. She's already cried, but yes you can. If you order it, they send you lots of little samples. Yeah, oh bless. We just got loads of samples and just did the whole floor with them. Yeah, exactly. I've always thought how many can you get away? If you went to different showrooms, could you cobble together a full floor? Yeah, I think you could that you. that you. that you. that 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. th. th. that that that 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they're the. to to to to they're to to they're to thee. they're they're the. they're they're they're the. they're think you could have a small room, small nursery. Oh bless her, but that's just, it's the pandemic getting you, isn't it? Right, before the business shout-outs, Rob. Yes? Dear Rob and Josh, this is from Nathan
Starting point is 00:35:53 Tuffin. Hope you're doing well. I have a belated Christmas story with which I hope you enjoy. The Christmas before last, my three-year-year-old daughter tree that we decided to name him Terry. We pretended he could talk and ended up treating him like a member of the family for the entire month. When it was time for the decorations to come down, she was very sad so he told her Christmas trees can't stay inside all year and Terry would be off on adventures until next Christmas. When we would go and find him again. Cut to December 2020 where we took our family out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out to the to the the to the the the to the to to the the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the te. te. te. te. te. te. the te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the the the the the the. We took our family outing to the local farm to pick out a Christmas tree. My daughter was incredibly excited to see Terry again. She ran around the farm yelling, Terry, Terry, and every time we looked at a tree, we would ask, is this one Terry? Do we think it's him? Until eventually we picked out a tree we wanted and claimed that we had found Terry. Oh, that's a good idea. Well, it was thi that that thi that's a thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th idea. Well it was. My daughter was ecstatic and
Starting point is 00:36:45 proudly walked me so he hauled the tree to the checkout area. I was a little confused when the man asked me what kind of Christmas tree stand we have at home having never been asked that question before. Told him what type we have and informed me this type would require the tree to have a flat stump at the bottom. Things hadn't quite clicked in my mind as the man dragged Terry off to one side, then swiftly and violently took out a circular saw to his trunk. It was so loud and it all happened too fast. I tried to shield my daughter's eyes from the massacre happening in front of her. And then frantically yelled, get her out of here to my partner, like a doctor and a medical drama,
Starting point is 00:37:25 trying to move a George Strapp family member from the bedside of a dying relative. My daughter was absolutely traumatized. She burst into tears and kept asking, what are they doing to Terry? Oh God. We had finally calmed her down, and then the man dragged the tree outside and shoved it in one of those netting machines which upset her all over again. Oh my God, just I've been kidnapped!

I'm sure the moment has passed not for us Lisa don't you worry about it for another surprised baby story but I have to tell you I have a school friend who had three children all grown up and I think at the time her youngest was about to start secondary school at age 11 or 12.
Starting point is 00:41:57 It's pretty safe to say they were on the way to having adult children. One evening my friend started to experience back pain so she took Paracetanum I went to bed. She woke up early the next morning in so much pain, she told her husband she should go to A&E. So they got in the car, whilst in the car on the journey she told her husband she had this They got to the hospital only to discover she was actually in labor and a few minutes after being told the news she gave birth. She had no idea she was pregnant. She celebrated her 40 if in this time. She didn't put on much weight or any of the other symptoms of pregnancy. So the entire thing was a complete shock. So imagine being 40 and thinking you're done with kids and you are back in the nappy zone. Oh my God Rob with what I've got
Starting point is 00:42:52 planned for my 40s which is from the age of 42 it's gonna be mid-90s Alex James style hedonism is how I'm planning on living my life.

I think we'd have to have like a month's break but then I think it'd be fine. You got as parenting, Rob. Yeah, well I'll get to see him in three weeks time. Do you know what? It would make the recording schedule easier. I would have plenty of time. Why am I getting divorced, not you? I think I'm more annoying.
Starting point is 00:44:07 This is the bleakest end to an episode. But... No, but if you had to have a bet on who would get divorced first? I don't know, who'd you reckon? I think you're a more mentally together human what, have a little look at my YouTube search history and then we can talk about that. We'll see you on Friday. Bye. Bye.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Bye.
