to the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky. So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully, how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you, the listener with your tips, advice and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, their, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, tipe, their tri-a, their, their, their, their, can their, can their, their, their, their, their, tri-a, tri-a, trie, trie, trie, trie, tri, tri, tri, trie, trie, trie, trie, tip, tip, tip, their tip, their tip, tipes, trie, trie, tri-a, tri-a'''-a'-a'-a'iii., toe. to to to to to to to to to tri about how they're coping.

Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times where none of us know what we're doing. Hello and welcome to Parenting Hale Whitted. I am Maximus, Donson.

It is Joshua Lodge, John's Face. Rob Beckett. Rob, Bob Beckett. Fine. What's the preamble? That is him saying his name, Rob, which is a famous line from a film. I am Maximus. It's called Maximus. He's called Maximus.

He's called Maximus, Age 3. Commander of the Armies of the North, the true. Do you want to hear it again? Does he do the full speech? Maximus, Commander, the true leader, Marcus Aurelius, all that. Go on, give it to us, Maxi. I am Maximus Thompson in this doctor's tombsen. I think he says I'm Maximus Thompson.

Maximus. Oh is it Tyson? I think it's Tyson either way. You can't be Maximus into Thompson, hangin. Maximus Thompson. It sounds like an insurance policy for your holiday. Travel Thompson with the Maximus Thompson. Scared of being trapped with a PCR result?

Don't worry, just take out Maximus Thompson. You know what, I thought Maximus would provide you a lot of ground, Rob, but I didn't imagine it would be in the holiday insurance area. So, yeah, I mean, I think I'm, we've both been, the summer holidays are killing me if I'm telling you. Oh God, how many weeks in are you? I'm four weeks into a six stretch. No, yes, they go back. Oh, let me just finish this detail. Oh, sorry, Maximus. Yeah, yeah. He's three. He's from Oxfordshire.

He's full of energy from the moment he wakes up till the moment he goes to sleep. He loves the question why. Sounds a bit like he's a pain in the ass. No offense. That full of energy, full of energy, that's the kind of thing at a nursery. How was he today? Full of energy and a very strong world knows what he wants. He is, I'm sure he's lovely, I'm today. He's gonna love this. He's confident and knows exactly what he wants. He's a little shit and he's called Maximus. What are you created? He's gonna, he's gonna, that guy is I'm gonna going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going. a prisoner of all the world. Good luck to you Max. As you can tell from his confident introduction. Thank you so so much for the hilarious podcast. It's

helped me get through the parenting day-to-day stretch. That is from his mom. Hannah. How are you Rob? Yeah I'm good a bit tired. It's just been a bit full-on and with work and stuff. You must be knackered as stuff. You've done the audio book. That take ages. I'll come to the audio book. I'll come to the Paralympics. Yes, Rob. I will be honest with you. My diary, I've misjudged it. You know all our discussions about how we'd really worked out work-life balance and how we knew what made us happen. Yeah and all that, you know, talk about Denmark, living Danish. Do you need to do the over the over the over the over the over the over the over the over the over their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, their, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, I. their, I. their, I.

And now you've got you.

I have fucked up massively. It can't be worse than the Dudley Oxford wedding, Zoe Ball, triple threat, I'm, I've spent a week. So, what time did you finish work? You worked yesterday filming? What's up? Yeah, 5.20 a.m. Rob. And then I got into bed and my daughter came in at 6.10. Oh, nuts. 50 minutes sleep. And because I'd stayed up late, working, the adrenaline was such that I was just up up. Yeah, I was just up. I had to listen

to a rival podcast to get to sleep, Rob. What was the rival podcast? I always listen to John and Ellis to get to sleep because I find them soothing. That's a backhanded compliment isn't it? Well, do you know what? You go in and out of it, and I then slept through the morning and I just left their to sleep.... I the morning. I the morning. I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I then I th. I then I then I then I their their th.

I listened to about six episodes all morning. Nice. And occasionally you're like, I'd wake up and I go, this is, this is good. And then I go back to sleep. Because it's just chained, I feel like they're in bed with you. And I love it. So yeah, so you must be exhausted. So, Paralympic situation.

Oh, yeah. The Paralympic situation, Rob. The Paralympic situation? You sound like an anchor on GB News. Let's talk about the Paralympic situation. So, 12 days? 12 days. When does it start? Tuesday? Toosk.

And the thing was, the agenda in the time. I just felt sad for the last two hours. I know it was a chemical imbalance, but... You're not to talk about what you're doing? Oh, I don't think so. Well, that's, well, you know, when I did a similar kind of a show, similar kind of show, yeah, about Hamleys at Christmas. Hmm. Did you feel sad? I felt really sad. And it finished at 4 a.m. and I've never been more angry. It's been in a shop. So the point where I cannot be more angry to be in a shop. Yeah. At 4 a.m. After I've been there for eight hours, overnight. TV people have to make it real. I was like, I can't we just pretend it.

myself up, to give myself some kind of like, to give myself a warmth of friendship in my ears with a man who's been asleep for eight hours, having a lovely time in the front. On his first coffee the day. Yeah, and at least the the the the thmpics filming time 10 p.m. Yeah so that was Saturday night Sunday we're recording this tomorrow Monday as a rehearsal and then so basically 13 days in a row of you hosting a live show essentially.

I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the I'm not going to get to sleep till 1 a.m. No. I can't imagine. And currently my baby he is waking up at 4 a.m. And when I say waking up I mean up he's shitting himself awake. He's shitting himself awake. He's shitting himself awake. He's all over his baby grow so you have to change him. By the time you've changed him he's up. He's up. He's ready. He's driving himself. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's driving. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's.

He's up, he's ready, he's driving cabs. He was doing the 2 a.m. wake-ups, that was fine, but by the time he's on the 4 a.m. wake-ups, that's close enough to the morning that he considers that his proper wake up. So he's got better at sleeping, their, thakakakakakere's, to do in this period is Rose taking a lot of the heat or have you got you know family? I have to come and help. We've got someone to come and help because yeah because it's just it's just untenable otherwise I can't do it I can't do three hours sleep a night for 12 days doing a live TV show. You need some babysitters in or nuns and granddad's picking the... We've got a nanny coming in to help on some of the days and Rose is going away for two days. Right she's got away for two days? She's going to visit a friend in

Folkston with the kids. I'll take it leaving me, yeah she's not leaving me with the kids. I'm going to say Jesus Christ be points we run out of time that I had. You'll literally run out of time to sleep. There'll be no time. Honestly, it's genuinely, it's having two kids is now... It's like an admin nightmare. Because, right, if I had a normal set-hour's job, you could go, well, what we do each week is this. That's the hardest thing I think, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, wa. If a the world the world the world's, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, wo, the world's, the world's a to. If to. the to. the hardest thing I think with lots of like world's tiny as violin but if you don't have a regular schedule that that is what me and Lou find the most

difficult thing because Lou never knows when she's got a spare time and then I can't and then you get pulled from pillar to post so it's yeah in that routine does help I think keeping up on every week it's like so we need someone to help us on the Saturday and the Thursday morning and do you know what I mean it's just like this absolute oh Rob what a life what a life Josh what a life to life 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 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. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation

Um, well I did yours and it was. Dude, but... I was like I don't remember any of these things happening to me, but I'll put one. Oh gosh. So, on the one hand, three and a half days. How many words have you got? It was 80,000. I think I can bang out out in three. Yeah, I think. Only 9,000 words. No, Jackie.

I was thinking like, you know, we've got the audio book of like, snail and the whale. I mean, what's that? Two hundred words? Like Melder Stanton stealing a fucking living with that, isn't she? Yeah, it's bad time Stoughton got a bit of stick. Come on, Melda. Steve and Mangon on bloody Mog and Meg, Meg and Meg? What's he doing there?

Hundred words? Come on, Mango, put the effort in. He's quite, he's getting a day rate for that, isn't it? But anyway, it's a really interesting or sad that then a reading back made you upset? Well, I'm emotionally dead so that was fine. There are bits where obviously it's, yeah, I wouldn't say there's anything that was like heartbreaking, but there's bits which are sadder.

And actually, do you know what? They're the easiest bits to redrob. Because you don't have to put much, you don't have to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to deliver, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, they..

And, they.c, they.c, th. th th th th th thrue, toooooo. tooome. too. too. too, too, too, too, th th th th't have to put much, you don't have to deliver it as a gag, do you know what I mean? So you're doing accents in yours? Yeah and the, and the, the holiday China was a real problem. But no, I can't do any accent, I just, it's just something I, I have no ability to do it, any accents at all. I can't do any accents. You're right there, Mike. What's that one? Is that Birmingham? Yeah, but just, listen, so I'd go, you're right there, mate?

I can't do it. Okay, what, Newcastle. It panics me to try and do it. A can a fanna. A can a fanna. I can't do it. No I can't do it. It still really really sounds. It's makes makes makes makes makes. It's. It makes makes. It makes. It makes makes. I. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't.

I still really sounds like Josh Winnockham speaking. I know I've just got I've got Rob. I have no range. You know where other people isn't it's not a casting director that wants you to be in something. Don't talk yourself out of a job. Yeah but well I'm going to tell you now right. If that person don't I have no range. I have no to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I don't th.

I've to tell you now, right? If that person don't, I have no right, I have nothing. I have no range. You do what you are doing well. You don't even have a disability and you're on the Fair Lenton stealing a living? Look at me, mate. I've got nothing. He's stealing a living off disabled people. That's what Dr Winnitcom does. Um, so I'm, um, there was positives and negatives to it. Fair enough. Now, I'm looking, I think it'll be fun once again.

I loved doing it in a way. You haven't done much voiceover, have you? Have you done much voiceover? I was the voice of a talking car in a Churchill advert. Thank you very much, Rob. Yes, I know, but that's a one, that's like an art, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, gig and then it's done in it. It's not week hours. When I do Slepsco dating in a voice-over booth I've worked out that I've spent two four weeks of my life in that box. Yeah because it's two and a half hours per

show and they've done like a hundred shows or something. Yeah I'm sure it'll be fine but I'm doing that next week. Yeah so what I would say about it, Rob, is so I had a lovely time doing it. I genuinely had a lovely time because, you know, you know how stiff my neck is, Rob. Oh yeah. I am loving everything that is involved with like having a book out and feeling like I'm a proper author. Okay. So I'm like absolutely getting off on this fact that I'm doing an audio book. Like I'm here I bloody am doing an audio book. Like I'm doing my audio book. Like Rob. I'm doing a small book tour just because I wanted to do it. Are you? How much work are you doing? It was a misjudgment Rob, but it's too late now. The tickets are available. I'll Instagram. There's eight small dates. And I'll be honest with you. I'll be, oh it's me and Ivo Graham's doing it with me

and it's gonna be a lot of fun. It'll be great, it'd be great. But I'm doing, I'm doing all these things because I was like, this is right, I don't might not get to do this again and I'm really like, like the idea of doing it. No, that's good. Yeah, so I love doing it, right. insane. Oh, this is not good for me. You do not try and do more than now. The words don't mean anything. More than an hour. Like without having a cup of tea or a break or something. Oh, right. And then you're like, could there be, you know, at least it's just me on my own, you know, it's not like I'm going to be in a booth and then in the next booth there's going to be someone who's going to be, you know, have a much more successful and high-profile book.

And then you'd look across, and I was in the next booth to Michael McIntyre, Rob. Can you see him? Can you see him? Yeah, we hung out at lunch. As you're doing it? Can you have a bigger room? As you're smashing it. You have a bigger room. He's coming out for an uncle, he's wouldn't have another chapter.

I didn't even thought about it. He did, he didn't have a bigger room actually, Rob. Of course he did, he's the boss man, and he? He's a big dog. And then because my voice started going, and then because my voice was going, and the first three chapters sounded like a different person Rob. Basically my voice started going, they thought it sounded better, so I had to go back and do the first three chapters again. Oh no, I wouldn't do that. I'd go, I'd just sound different.

It sounds like a- That is me. Sorry if it, sorry if it sounds like to someone else, but it isn't. That is what my voice is like. And I'm locked, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is just, that is what, that is what, that is what, that is what, that is just, that is just, that, what, what, what, what, what, what, that is, that is, that is, that is, that is, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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. the that, the that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the, the, the, to a chair and forced to read it for four days. Do you know the worst bet, Rob? I don't know, what the ending, did you run out of patience writing it? I got home and had to read to my daughter. You're like, you've got to be joking, mate. I'm not sitting here and reading, I've been doing this for six hours today. I think the audio book could go one or two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two two tho tho tho tho tho tho tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the tho, their, their, I'm, the thi, their, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, thi, I's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho.a, tho'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'er, today. I think that, do you know what, I think the audiobook could go one or two ways for people but it's definitely worth a buy because I'll either just be going for it or just livid.

I can't wait to find out what you think I'm doing an audio book because I'll be honest with you. Yeah, it is a game of patience. That is not my game. That's not my game. Oh God. Anyway, we probably talk about kids shouldn't we for a bit? Yeah, sorry. Sorry, sorry. No, it's all right. Well, that's been my week. That's been your way. We went up to London to see Lion King. Oh, very nice. How was it? It's good. Three-year-olds first ever the theater trip, which was excited. Oh, which the exciting. Oh, she did it. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, that. Oh, 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 all. Oh, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's all all all all all all all all all all. Oh, 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 every song finished, she went, is that the end? Like out loud. Yeah, we're all thinking it. It's so hot in there Josh.

Hot? It's so warm in the theater. In the theater? In the theater? It's really warm. And like, it's all a bit, it's quite like, Lion King's a great production, but it's quite magical and beautiful, but it's quite banter low.

It's not like, it's not, there's not a lot of opportunities for fun in Lion King. It's all like. It's all quite, it's all quite, it's all quite, it's all, it's all, it's all, it's all, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, a the the the the the the they. Like, like, a. Like, like, a. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the oh, and the land and we're with a circle of light. There's not, it's not much cheeky, chappy bantering. I know the Timone and Pumba come out, but they're carrying a lot. Would it kill them to put in a bit of Bradley Walsh? Do you know what I mean? Exactly. They did do a little frozen joke, a few, oh, yeah. So, they, the, the, there, there, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's. It's. It's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not much. Oh, it's not, it's not, it's, you know I had like you feel like your head's about to snap off like that and then I went then I got into a nice little groove of snoo right and I was asleep and I was just going and then out of nowhere. Ah! Ha! Ha!

. Oh, oh, I was like, I woke up like, I was in a plane crash, you know, and like... You could barely listen to you John and Ellis podcast, could you? I know, oh, God. But it is great, but I've seen it before and I was so tired because I played football the day earlier. I just started my tour shows started up again. So I was just hot and tired and it was like of them ones when they're like, I don't know what to look at in Lion King because they've all got like animal helmets on above their head. So are they, they're people.

Oh yeah, I've seen the poster so it's a guy with like a thing on top of his head. But his face is sort of painted to look like a lion's sort of thing It's like I wouldn't see the X Factor musical which was great. Did you see that? The Harry Hill X Factor? Oh no, is it good? Yeah, I really loved it. And for the first half there's a puppet in it and the guy obviously is walking around with a puppet. Yes. And for the first 20 minutes I didn't realize whether I was like, is this guy part of the cast or he meant to not know that he's there? Do you know what I'm looking at? Because if you sort of squint a little bit, it's sort of, actually then it looks like an actual lion, like the way they move, it's been like cats like that. I think it'd be a better show if you've got glaucoma. Ultimately. And Gerdavitz would enjoy it. Oh yeah, if you have to wear wrap around goggles to play sport, this is your show.

On the train up, though, it was quite funny. On the train up, we went from Hiver Green, where I used to live with Lou, and we had like, our first baby there for six months and we moved out to zone five. And was going from Hiver Green, oh, we used to live in Hiver Green, and we said, and the five year old baby, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were there, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were there, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, we were, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, we were, we said, and you used to live in Hivergreen, didn't you? And the five-year-old was like, did it? Yeah, you lived there for six months. And the three-year-old was like, I lived there too. And was like, oh, no, no, you didn't live in Hivergreen. And then, she's screaming, upset that we live in Hivergreen. But I'm not, that, then the five-roll starts going yeah I loved Hivergreen

when I lived in a car I used it because I'd loved it I was like six months okay what's your best bit about Hivergreen give me one good thing about living in Hivergreen you've got nothing you left after the six months oh that's they're getting a bit bored of each other they'd play lovely but because it's been some holidays it's just been them that they're getting a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little. a little. the. they. they. their. their. their. their. they. their. their. their. I'll they. I'll. I they. I. I. I they. I. I they. I I they. I I I I. I I they. I I I I I I. they. they. they. I I I I I I I I I I I. the the 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. th. th. th. th. th. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. it's been some holidays, it's just been them, that they're getting a little bit like eggy of each other and a bit aggressive, so we're having to keep an eye on it and fewer timeouts. When you say something like that, then you, the instant you say, you know you said the wrong thing. Matthew Crosb of this parish, as they say, he texted me that that as they say he texted me that he so he was going out on Friday night to watch

Supergrass in Crystal Palace Park because it's 1997. Yeah, that's gonna say it got on him. Because that shed seven gig got cancelled didn't it so? The ticket's been held for quite a while that lot of cancellation. The levelers supporting, big gig that was. And his daughter was up as he was leaving, his two-year-old daughter, and she said, where are you going? And he said, he thought, I presumably thought he couldn't explain what a gig was. So he said, the park.

And the instant he said the park. Oh, because she wants to going to the park without her. Oh a nighttime park seems so excited to a kid. Yeah. Oh no. He basically left his wife dealing with a crying child while he went to watch a band that hadn't had a hit since 1998. Yeah. did some of the greatest clutch pressure performance parenting I've ever seen, Josh. Yeah. OK, so I'd set the scene. Basically, the three-year-olds in a nursery, a really good nursery around the corner.

However, it just does like nine till three. And Lou starting to do a bit more voluntary work and teaching work. So we need a bit more flexibility. Now I need a bit more flexibility with the, because it's this nursery, this nursery, this nursery, this nursery, this nursery, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, thi, th, th, th, the, a, a, a, thi, a, a, a thirty, a tho, a tho, a thi, a thi, a the, a the, a the, a the, a, a the, a, a, a, a, a, a, a really, a really, a really, a the, a the, a the, a the, a the, a the, a really, a the, a the, a the, a the, a the, a the, a the, a thrary, a thrary, thr, thrown, three, three, three, three, three, three-a, three-a, three-a, thro, thro, thro, thro, thrown, a thr because it's this nursery you can do like night eight till six or something. Oh, that's what we've got Rob. If Lou has to work in the afternoon or if I get stuck some we've got a bit more flexible and you can just sort of leave him there. Anyway, boring boring boring, boring, boring, boring, but we're worried about that because it's a new thing and anyway. Anyway, so we're doing it, we took it, we to we took to, we to to have to have to have to have to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work to work in to work in to work work work work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work in to work work to work to work work to work work work work work work to work work work work work work work work work work work to work work work work to work work to work to work work their work their work their work their work their work their work in their work in their work in their work in their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their work and to sort of introduce the idea of mini school before she goes to proper school. Anyway, so we're doing it. They're planning the garden and we get show like the garden area of a Wendy house and then we get shown at the room and all that, and we get shown at the room and we're like, oh yeah it's great, chat chat we're going to to go now and the girls go, the girls go, the girls go, they don't go, they don't go, they don't go, they don't go, they don't go, they don't go, they don't go, like, like they don't go, like they don't go, like their their their their their their their go, like their go, like their go, like, like their go, 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, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, like, like, go, go, like, like, like, go, go, go, like, like, like, like, like, their, their go, their ga, their, their, their, their, their, their, go, their, go, their, go, go, their ga, go of like the nursery people right who are

going to be looking after the kids and also at this stage they can always really go like oh actually we don't want them to come do I mean they don't have to have the kids. Yeah you're on it you're on a probation. Yeah of course you're on best behavior it's like meeting in it when it's a new score nursery so anyway and also what Lou it doesn't to the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they're they're they they to they to to they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they, get out now, don't embarrass me. And they go, no dad, ah, so they're absolutely mugging me off, right, going, I'm going to count to three. Oh, this is my worst nightmare. Yeah, my hands are going. So I'm doing this but they, the nursery people can't see me'm like, you know, I just, I just panicked like a captain of a ship jumping off into the first lifeboat, right? So I just leave it.

And then, and then we sort of say goodbye to them. And Lou goes, oh, I'll just get them then. And in front of like free people from the nursery and me, Lou just goes as my gosh. It was like, oh my gosh. Do you know that the stig on top gear when he does a handbreak turn and just like parks something? And it's just like, and they have the music playing. They just went, we're going now and going to count to three. One on one they came out. And then Lou was swaggering like Connor McGregor. And even I even I caught. How did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did. How did.

Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. the. the. the. I. I. I've never seen anything. It was like a spell. It's that Jedi Jedi

shit. That is amazing. And it was so, but the pressure on that was it was next level pressure. What would have happened if that was me is I'd have gone carrying to three. One, two, three three. You've got to be out by ten, okay. So it's four, yeah. Yeah, ten, three times. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. the pressure. 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. I'll cast 3 times and then we're out. We're out of here. Sorry about this. It's a thing we do. But they don't listen, I panic and cry. They're really good at counting, aren't they? Because look at the numbers they gave me up to. Yeah, look, look, look, 150 on there. Look at this. You've got kids in your nursery, they can count this. Looking. Look. their. their. thage. thage. th. thine. thine. thi. thi. It thi. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. It's th. It's th.

It's like this is this isn't going to happen. Lou's going to get very stressed at the end of this. But yeah, that was funny. Really funny. If we do some Instagrams. Let's have some Instagrams Rob. Let's have some Instagram. I've got some great Instagram messages. We'll do some shout-out as well. Also I mentioned

Sean. Unfortunately, poor old Sean passed away this week. Very sad in the world of comedy and also cut through into sort of the mainstream as well really. I know he was on the mainstream but like you sort of forget how popular he was to a point because he wasn't on social media as such. He was he was genuinely I thought obviously it was it was really beautiful how much of response it got. Yeah. There's very few comics who you're excited to hear what they are going to say on everything. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. And I think it almost felt like, you know, he was on a panel shows and he was like the master and we was all just to preface just fully aware of he knows the to say what to say when to say how to say it and yeah. Yeah he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he's. He he's. He's. He's. He's. Yeah. Yeah. he. they. he. he is is is. they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is thi. 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. thi. thi. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thi. to. thi. the. thi. the. how to say it. And he's not really on his level. It's the way, you know, Arsenal footballers talk about playing with Dennis Burkhamp.

It's like he was just a different level and he was just doing something that you couldn't really replicate. I remember when I had a black eye after playing football and I was back stage and I was trying to cover it with makeup it wouldn't work and it was boring story and he went I went I got a playing football but I don't know what to say because I've really got a funny story I went but I could probably make something up couldn't I and then he went oh someone's learning they really cut it up and the other I tell you what the other story I remember as Sean which is like less backstage a comedy type of story was did you ever go to that Prince Cocoa gig?

No I did, why didn't I go to that? Hilsie went with Nick Klag. Cause he did, right. So we're at Coco and Prince is on and then I turned the corner and then Sean just turns up with his wife and Uska, and that's so happy and dancing like properly dancing. Because he loved to,, like properly dancing. Oh wow. He loved to, he was a decent dancer as well and loved dancing, and they were properly going for it.

I don't, too fat, I don't know how good he was, quality was, he seemed good to me, but he was just loving life, dancing with his wife and I thought, sure, lock, don't dance. What's going on? I think that's what made him so good. You you you you that that's that's that's that's that's that's what made him so good that's that's that's what made him so good that's that's that's what made that's that's that's that's that's that's what that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's tho. I'm 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 thi. I was. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom. I was that's that's that's that's th. I'm that's what made him so good. You thought on paper it's a bit of a Mickey Flanagan geeseery type guy. But he was so surreal and into different things. And he was, it's so sad. He was absolutely amazing. But I'm just lucky to have worked with him really.

I met him. Yeah, it's amazing. I remember the first time. So first thing I ever did on TV on the day, so I got put in. I remember turning up and that I'd been put, it was me and Sean Locke in a dressing room. Oh yeah. And it was a very quick, like to me it was the most scary kind of day in the world. And it was a very quick kind of introduction into how quickly you kind of adjust to these things. He just swaned in. Didn't it? I was like, you're not even't th you're think think think think think th. thin thin, thin, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that I'd that I'd that I'd that, thi, that I that I was that I that I that I was that I that I was that I that I was that I was that I that I was that I that I that I was that I was that I that I was that I was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, the. the. the the the the the the theat the the the the the an the an the an the an the an thethese things. He just swaned in. Didn't he? I was like, you're not even going to get changed. He was like, no, just go on in this, couldn't care less.

Didn't even, and he was like, scribbled a couple of things on his notepad and that was his set and he walked out. And I was watching the set the best possible way, one of the things I loved about Sean Locke, he didn't seem to give a shit if anyone laughed. No. If it made him laugh. And he's doing, he's doing this act, which is just where he's doing impressions of Bernard Manning, where he does old school jokes,

and then breaks into song. And he did thi that no other comedian would do and he didn't give a shit in the best possible way. Yeah and he did it and he did it with no like, oh look at me actually and doing something quite different here where some people like the idea of what kind of comedian they are rather than just doing comedy and he would just go out and do something mental where other people would build such a whole sort of career and thingy of like oh that's a person does that thing. He'd do about about about the the that. the that. that. the the that. that. that's the person and does that thing, it'd do about 50 different things in a week of shows and yeah, he's one of the, he had a real genius like one of a kind type comedy mind. Well obviously you know like the people are funny and do stuff but you do start to notice people that think in a similar way of how comedians think but I don't mean as many people that has a brain like his that could just think the their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. I's. It's like, tot. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. I. I. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

It's a t. And, t. And, t. And, t. tot. tot. tot. tot. tot. tot. And, the just think like he's manned mad stuff. There's loads of clips going around obviously

lots of a countdown but one of the ones that I always remember and I've watched quite a load is there's a one ways on big fat quiz of the year and they do you know that thing where the kids act out the news store yeah and they just go in a crap act it and he just goes into his rant about this rant about the rant the rant the rant the rant the rant th rant th rant th th th th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is the th is just the th is he the he he he he he he he he thus thus he he he he he he he he he he he he he the th is th is their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th is is is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th. th. I thus. I thus. I thus. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th kids are acting. And it's one of the funniest thing. It's just like, the bravery of him was unbelievable. Well, I think he did. You know what if one does in the sort of slight private, but if you can't actually say that and tell you'll say that and stayed, he'd just do it.

But in a way that wasn't really offensive. There were kids that he slagged off. Like in a positive way, it was almost like a lane drop type thing of like, you know those kids who said they were shit acting, I was one of them. Oh, it's amazing. Yeah, it's so brilliant. So, you know, so, you know, our thoughts with his family. Yeah, of course. So that's kind of what you think about a lot as well, isn't is, isn't, isn But, you know, yeah, it's really horrible. Bless him.

Right, now I've got to do a gear change. You got to do a real gear change. This is a classic one show situation, Rob. Okay, and now, you know I was talking in the week about having a shit in front of your partner? Well, I've got the from that. This is good actually, this is really funny. They're keeping it anonymous. Hi, Robin Josh, huge fan of the podcast, have both your books on Alder, good man.

Yes. Or woman, it's Annon. I regularly listen while I walk up and down the high street to get my 12 week old to sleep. After listening to Much like Ellie, we keep the mystique in the relationship and I've never discussed toileted habits in front of each other for a decade. Earlier this week I let out a fart. Quite a horrendous one to be honest. My wife asked if it was me, to which I quickly denied and blamed it on our newborn. Classic. Yeah. The next day my wife informs me she was so concerned about the smell of our newborn's fart that she had already spoken to the doctor and had a

blood test booked to check everything was okay. This has got I think this is a I think the wife's playing a game right surely. No she's booked it well no because if he's genuinely awful and like sewerage and it's from a newborn you know me I think this baby must be allergic to the milk or is it she she she she she she she she oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the the they. the they. the the the the, you let me ask that this baby must be allergic to the milk or has it eaten something, have I given it something that it's allergic to? Oh my god. Something is something is compromising the stomach of this child if that smell came from it. Oh my god, this is a situation. This is a proper Larry David, the care of the skinned. destroy the mysticicic to to to to to to to to to to to to to avoid to avoid to avoid to avoid the to avoid the the to avoid the to avoid the the to avoid their their their to avoid their to avoid to avoid their to be a their to be a their tool we are to me to me to me their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thiii. thi. tool. tool.

I feel horrendous and now have to come clean, destroy the mystique in our relationship to avoid my 12-week-old having an unnecessary blood test.

I hope you are listening. I think they may be coming clean now. What? What? No? No. I think that might be what happened, that's happened. No, well there's only one way for the wife to respond and that is next week via email. Yes, yes, that'd be great. I've got loads, I'll tell you, I'll do a couple more and then.

That is, so has that person done it anonymously? Yeah, anonymously, but then you'd know if you'd listen to this and you've booked a blood testest..... te te te te te. te. te. te. te. te. to. te. to. to. to do. to do. to do. te. to do. to that's. that's, that's, that's, that's. that's, that's, that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that. that. that. that. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that. to. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. Yes, that. that is definitely that person because what we don't want is a cancelled blood test from a baby that does have a bad stomach. Look, if your baby's shit stinks, just get a blood test just in case. Yeah. I'll give you another one before we do small business shout out. There's a couple of good ones here. Oh, this is good. You know we asked for things that make you sound like your parents. So I said to my kids, that chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, the chairs, th. This is th. This is th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. thi, thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thiiiii. S. S. Sc. thi. Sc. thi. So I said to my kids, that chairs of a sitting on, not for standing on. You know, like, this is a great one we got here.

So this is from Nicholas. Hi, Robin, Josh, as a child of the 80s, I'm sure that my parents would make up things not to do it as it would affect me in later life. Here are some things I've nearly to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say thia. too close to the TV you'll get square eyes. Yeah, that's not true is it? No, it's not true. Don't sit too close to the fire

or you'll get chill blanes. Think this was a little harsh. You're a big deal when I was a kid. Do you used to get chill blains? Yeah, I've not heard of a chill blame since kind of the 90s. Well you've not been set in front of fires have you or well I don't know but I thought it was cold then hot and you used to get them on your toes and I liked them Rob. You like chill I mean you're from Devon it was probably like a high. I enjoyed a chill blame. I enjoyed a chill blame when we got to get your thrills where you can I love the chill blame chillbane I've not heard of chill planes

how do you have a chill blame recently do email in so chill blan's a chill blan's a small itchy swellings and the skin that occurs reaction to cold temperatures so but it was that pleasure pain thin it was nice to get chill blame but then if you buy the fire is the most often affect the body's extremities? He was the toes, wasn't it? The little to be a chill blame. Oh, glorious. Don't come running to me if you break your leg. Absolutely, that's it.

That's nice. Stop crying or I'll give you something else to cry about. Oh, that's a bit much. Yeah. You're right, Nicholas. wipe that look off your face? Oh my God, where did you grow up in Borstal by the way? It's like a nunnery in Ireland a hundred years ago. If the wind changes, you're your face will stay like that. That's it's nice. And do you think you are Jesus? No, we'll shut the door. You were not born in a barn. Right. I've got a a lot of issues. It's a stable. It's a stable. It's a stable. It's a stable. It's a stable.

walk across the bar. My friends' parents used to say, when we go out to the town nearby, if you you didn't like hold their hand at the road, she said, she'd say, hold my hand if you don't want me to take home you home to your parents in a paper bag. Which was always felt quite a vivid... Yeah, that's quite brutal. Yeah, I don't think it's how it would have played out obviously. My mom used to go, if you like playing the garden with no pants on, we go put that that the witty-willi to the to the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their theirn't thi, thi, thi, thi, thin' thin' thin' to put, to put, to put, to put, their, to put to put to put to put to put to put, to put, to put, to put, to put, to put, to put, to put to put to put to put to put 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 theirn't, thi.. And thi. thi. their their thin, their their their their their their their their their the. their the. the. the horrific thing to tell a child, that there's his pido nonts birds swamping in to bite off a kid's dick. That's horrendous when you think about what you're suggesting exists in your street. Is that this bird's gonna come down and nibble your knob off? Peck the pecker. This one's a good one. This one, this one's Suzy, two little birdies. I can't believe it, why is it two little bird? That's weird. I must have half seen that

while I did my little pecker line. Now parent sands, my seven year old was walking home from school with a jacket hanging off on shoulder and I somehow found myself saying, I didn't pay full price for that jacket for you to wear half of it. Oh, that is a proper bit of parenting. Who cares? How cold's that shoulder? Why do they get involved with parents like that? That's the kind of thing that you get involved in and then you think, is this really an issue?

Is this some problem I've got myself? It's like me making my piece with my daughter doesn't like wearing trainers. Yes. That's just it. So what does she wear? She likes boots and sandwellies or the jellies? The jellies are well. Welles, you go in the morning is it a wellies day or jellies day? So yeah, so she wore wellies are easy, comfortable.

I can tell. Yeah, do you know what, Rob? I bought her a pair of Nike. She didn't give her, but she doesn't that. That's a long watch for a 40-year-old. Yeah, she thought Scotty Pippin deserved a better contract, but apart from that, she didn't come out with any interest in the trainers. Right, da da da da da. Okay, let me find this.
