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 you are listening to Parenting Hell with. George, can you say Bob Beckett,

Cuttie, goodbye. Can you say Josh Whitcomb, Chet. With him, good boy. Bastion. Bastion. I'm gonna say it. My main issue with that is, the way Gemma says good boy is so

sinister Good boy is out of horror film yeah he's a horror film in the basement you know say you're a wicked and you might get some lunch good boy what is that who was that? Hi guys I've been listening from at one and never miss a week. I've got three kids, seven, four and twenty-two months.

This is George, my four-year-old. I did send a previous email to match Josh's tiredness. If you ever cram across it, I'm sure you will laugh. I dream of having Josh's sleep pattern. Keep up the top podcasting. Thanks for keeping us laughing, Gemma. Good email. Good email.

I've not really slept. Everything you say, you can't do any other voice than yours, can you? Even that just sounds like Josh Whitakum. I know, mate. It's a strong, it's a strong taste, isn't it? It's a narrow range. You know like an ingredient that whatever food you put it in it will taste. It dominates. It dominates. You know you have chermic and it's just everything's a little bit orange for the whole week. On your nails. Yeah, you don't want to get me on your

fingers. That's a weird thing to say. Ticker. I say ticker. Is that wrong? Chicken ticker? I think it's, I think there is, I don't think that's like wrong, wrong. I think, but it's like scone and scone, right? I said scallops and that's wrong, it's scallops fucking yo-yo? Come on mate. Play the game. You don't eat meat? It's a scollop, mate. Come on. I've had meat a bit of Alumi.

Oh, that is the highlight of the... Actually, you know what, that's my favorite moment we've ever done. It's the best discussion, since the start of this podcast. Right, how are you being being being the par you the par you the par you the par you the par the par the paraicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicicic. It's the best discussion since the start of this podcast. Right, how are you being all right? Just busy Paralympics? Yeah. Well, the Paralympics is going, but this is recorded pre-Paralympics. Okay, tell you what do, let's do some Instagrams. I've got loads of good ones to get from.

Oh, okay. We've blabbed on for too long. I've got some bang. Genually, Rob, this is, it's a real pleasure to go upstairs and do this. Yeah, I mean that. It sounded worse, but I don't go off. You know, sometimes you work with people and you don't like them and you have to try and have banter with them and you think, fucking I wish it was on a good 10-month-old, I mean that. I didn't mean that. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I that. I that. I that. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's the the th. It's the the than. It's the way. It's the way.

more fun and full of laughter. I was a nanny throughout my 20s, and there was one family I worked for, whose son was adopted at birth, and other memorabilia each taped onto its own page. That's quite nice idea, isn't it? Memorabilia, it sounds like he's... Have you got the mouse mat as well? Yeah and the key ring, yeah we've got them. Yeah, but so all little bits and bobs of his you know childhood, including... Oh no, which bit of him? the foreskin. Yeah, but so the the th. Yeah, but so th. Yeah, but so th. Yeah, but so th.

A look of hair, his belly button stump, oh fuck off. And his foreskin.

Oh no, oh no. As well as a peanut that got stuck up his nose. What? It takes all kinds, I guess. Thank you very much, Amy Moss. He's, imagine knowing your foreskin's in a book. It'd be also if it's a heavy book it's like it's like when you do pressed flowers isn't it? Just forcing it down into kind of how would you how would you present the foreskin in a book? Would you go side on or flat like the penis is coming through the book?

I do it pop up? Yeah. Or do you have a little flaps? You don't have that one coming through the book or do it pop-up? You do it pop-up? Yeah. Or do you have a little flaps? You don't have that one like the birthday party but it's all flat? Like Dear Zoo? Oh my god. Imagine cutting your son's foreskin off and putting it in a book. Worse thing is Rob, I'm doing the audiobook next week. I'm in the foreskin. Yeah for the... For the... Oh, right, we've this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is th, th. Oh, th. Worst thing is Rob, I'm doing the audio book next week. I've been the fourskin. Yeah, for the four. Right, we've got another good one here, this was good. It's enough a fucking shout out for Soda Stream though, which is annoying, but it's funny.

Oh, fuck him. Hi, Josh and Rob, I just listened to your podcast in Izzy City we talk about a living child and a today's excitement of the soda stream. One payday eight years ago. Me and my then work colleague bought a soda stream and a win whilst trying and failing to find an inflatable hot tub. I mean, that is a classic bored Sunday buying it where you've gone for something. You can't don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't have don't have don't have don't have don't have don't have don't have don't have th. You don't have th. You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. theat. theat. theat. theat. thay thay thay tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. their pay the, so they couldn't find an inflatable hot tub. They got a soda stream and said, after a few too many carbonated red wines, that is fun, let's see what that's like, fizzy. After a few too many carbonated red wines exploded on us, when we attempted-

Well, they were putting it in the machine? Jesus went the attempt to recreate the hot tap tod tap tap tap to tap to tap tap to tap tap tap to tap tap tap. tap. tape, tod-a, today, to today, to to today, today, to to the hot, the hot, the hot, to to the hot, their, so-a, so-soa, so-a, so-a, so-a, so-a, so-a, so-so, so, so-so, so, so-so, so, so, so-so, so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-so, so-a-a-a-s. toda-s. toda-s. toda-s. toda-s. toda-s. toda-s. toda-a-a-a-a-s. toda-a-a-a-a. Jesus went. Jesus would have tried that as well. I know. And when we attempted to recreate the hot tub experience in the bath, one thing led to another. Eight years later, we have Soda Stream to thank for our relationship and our seven-month-old son. Oh my word. So, a soda stream started their relationship.

Now they have a child to to to to Josh. Oh that's nice. This is Nikki Pearson on Insta listening to Rob talk about looking at the wrong child reminded me of when my husband went one better. This was when I went to Legoland and I was watching another kid in the playground thinking it was my kid. Oh yeah they were end up in the same outfit was the headline? Oh yeah they're end up in the sun. Did end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up. Did the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did the end up. Did. Did. Did. End up end up. End up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up end up. Did. Did. Did. Did. End up end up. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Did. Yeah. Yeah. End up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. End up. Yeah. End up. Yeah. Yeah. End up. Yeah. End up. Yeah. End up. Yeah. Yeah. End up. Yeah. End up. Yeah. End up in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the in the sun. Did you see the headline? What was the headline? Beckett a Pido? Basically, Rob Beckett a Pido. Well, now, if I can type a Rob Beckett pedo into Google, it's not a great look, is it? No, that could come back to haunt you in a court case.

It's in the news. So if you could, come on, let me off, guys, it was in the news. That's all I was doing. It has just been topical. How's this, Rob Beckett got caught out being a bad dad in the worst way possible? I think bad dad's quite a bit underselling pedophile. The funny man was a funny. thuuuuu not accused of being a paedophile. He was not accused. It wasn't an accusation. He just said, what you're doing, mate?

And then when he confused a child for his own at Lego, Ladd, Rob said on his parent nail podcast, a guy went, a guy went, why do you keep looking at my door? And I. Yeah, you can't just go, Rob Begitt? Are they, are they, are they, are they, you cannot, put in a newspaper, the funny man was accused of being a paedophile. Oh, the funny man. If anyone's been accused of being a paedophile, which I wasn't, you can't start the sentence with the funny man, if anyone's been accused of being a pedophile which I wasn't, you can't

start the sentence with the funny man. If someone's nonsense, you don't matter if they're funny or not. Take that out of the description. Fuck me. There's pros and cons about Beckett. He's a funny guy. He doesn't know I'd leave him with my kids. Let's put it that way. I would unleash him in Lego land on th which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which which, which, the the the the the the the the th which which which which the th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the pea. I th. I th. I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I wasn't. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm not. I'm not the. I'm not theat. I'm not the theat. I'm not the the the the theat. the the theat. theat. I'm theat. I'm not know I'd make me laugh, but I wouldn't leave him with my kids. Let's put it that far.

Who would unleash him in Lego land on his own? Anyway, I'm not a peanut- I wouldn't want to see him on the school run, but I would want to see him at St. Auburn's arena. I wouldn't want to see him on Pearson, my little girl was taking part in a first baby ballet show and I was unable to make it as I was all way on a Hendoo. I asked the dad, my husband, to take lots of photos and videos of her so I could see the performance.

Now, that day I received a photo and a video of a girl that I didn't recognize, rang him and asked why he took me pictures of someone else's child and he said he hadn't on close with a conspection he agreed that they were not of our child he had spent the whole show taking pictures of videos around a child oh my god excuse was that they all look the same because of their costumes oh that is awful would burn the phone and run away I'd say that's the best thing to do is he a funny man thu is he funny is funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny f founded f f f f founded f f f f f f f f f f f founded f f founded f founded the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 is th is th is thi the ty ty ty ty ty ty ty. ty ty. they. I that's they their their their their the their the the the best thing to do. Is he a funny man though? That's the question if he's funny, it's right. Funny man founded videos of child in ballet outfit. Right, I've got a couple of other good ones here. Okay, go. All right, I'll do an informative one and then a funnier one, okay? This one. Night Terroris. Hi, Rob and Josh, I just listened to your episode. We talked about night terrors. Myselfelf my brother. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I've got got got got got got got got got a tho. I've got got got a thooooooooooooooooooooooooooome. I've got got got got a tho. I've got a terrorism myself and my brother had them until we were 16 and quite regularly however we never remembered them. My aunt's favorite story is that when we went on holiday and she stayed with

some of her friends I at the age of 14 screamed through the limit screamed and ran through the living room where all the adults are having some drinks flailing my arms around running with high knees yelling get it out of my mouth. I have no recollection of this. That is that would freak me out. I know I'd get it out of my mouth was like it's anyone ever saying get it out of my mouth is funny. Yeah yeah I mean that is that is absolutely. If your daughter ran through screaming you're just having a drink and a 14-year-old girl runs through screaming, shouting, get it out of my mouth.

That is the evening ruined. And then I said, that's not my daughter, she's just wearing the same clothes as my daughter wall yesterday. Anyway, so my eight-year-old son started having night terrorists the age of two. Anyway, so my eight-year-old son started having night terror at the age of two and I found that a gradual change in temperature can bring him out of it slowly and settle him down. I walked to the bathroom to run his hands under cold water he stops having a night terror, he stopped having a night terror and he stopped having a night terror and he stopped having

a night tear and he was just a heart break in the watch. But he wakes up in the morning up up up up up up up up up up up, the morning, the morning, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, their, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I, and I thi, and I, and I, their, their, their, and I, tho, 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, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I thr, thrown, and I thrown, and I thrown, and I'm thrown, and I thrown, and thrown, and threat, and thrown, and thrown, and thi,-old was having this night terror and it was a bit of a cold evening she was just going mental and crazy and not even looking at you looking through you so I picked up and just went into the garden I just sort of walked around the garden and that cold sort of calmed her down and I'm slightly woke her up a little bit and then I could take a back change in the temper change and the team is the that's a good change in change in change in change in the way that's is good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good that's a very that's a very that's a very that's a very that's a the the the the the the the their their they and the their their their their their their their their I their I their I their I their I their their their their their their their their their their their their their their I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th of th of th of th of th of the and the and the in their the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in thean. thean. thean. theing and theing and they. theing and their their their their. Yes, very much like one in a book. That's a strong tip next to the lock of hair and a peanut. Right, last one, Josh, and then we'll bring on our guest. Hi, Rob and Josh, I love the podcast and have listened since the beginning

and resonate with everything you talk about, as I have two children of my own, 10 and six. I wanted to share with you the story story, the story, the story, the story, the story, the story, the story, the story, the story, th. when I accidentally left my daughter in a sweet shop. We were on a family break with some. That sounds like a rolled old book. Mm-hmm. Hopefully there won't any funny men in there. In a sweet shop, we were on a family break with some friends at Bucking's. Oh, Robert, it's really pissing down. I can see next door I've got their washing outside and I am loving it.

No, no, covering slugs slugs slugs. slug, the sl. Absolute slug, slugsville, Tennessee, mate. That's what this is. Anyway there are butlings and we're heading to the fun fair we passed a sweet shop my son who was five at the time wanted some sweets, myself my self, myself my husband and the two kids went in the shop it was quite busy so I part my daughter 18 months. Funny name. We should do that every single time that that that that that that that to to have that that to have that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. tho. the. that. their the. tho. tho. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their their. their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. toge. togu. togu. togu. But. But, togu. But, toguu. But, the. But, the. But, the. But, thtime. Every single time without fail. Let's do that every single time that I fail and see how quickly. We lose list drops. When we hit 10% listener loss, we'll stop doing it. It's quite busy so I parked my daughter, 18 months. Strange name, in a push chair. At the far side of the shop so he weren't in anyone's way. My son chose his suite, and he cued up to pay. My husband said he was heading off to the fair to meet our friends,

so I said we would follow and meet him there. Once we had paid, I left the shop of my son and he headed to the funfare. On arriving and finding my husband and our friends, I realized my daughter in her push sheum. I realized my daughter, and he thought I had her with me. After the panic of realizing neither of us had her, I ran back to the sweet shop. In that situation, who's at fault there? It's got me the dad, because he's got no kids.

At least the mom's got one kid. Yeah, exactly. And normally it's with two kids, you take one each. That's how we do. Yeah, exactly. with handfuls of sweets. She has cheeks full of pineapple rock, which was dribbling out of her mouth, and the push chair, push chair, was full of half-sucked sweets. I was feeling a mixture of relief,

embarrassment, and panic that she could have actually choked on the mouthfuls of rock, and she was only 18 months. And also, as I sprinted back to the shop, I was so out of breath, I couldn't, I was th.......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, the to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, the the the the the the the t t tsoed, tsoo, tsoo, t tsoo.. t thea. too. thea. t thea. too. too. too. toe. toe, toe,'t catch my breath to speak. I was then confronted by the lady working in the shop who was quite angry and made us pay for the sweets that my daughter had sucked on. Totally. That's fair enough. 19 quid.

Whoa! That's a hungry daughter. That's a hungry daughter. Keep up the good work, Charlotte. Oh, thank you Charlotte. I'm glad you found your children. Obviously. That goes without saying at any point, if any of you lost your children, I hope you find them. Immediately. Yeah. Well done. And I definitely think that was the dad's fault. 100%. We will be, with these stories, we will be handing out the blame and deciding it.

And that is legally binding. Yeah, exactly. he's in a dog house for that. Now Josh, who is our guest this week? Absolutely brilliant. I love this interview Rob. Frankie Bridge, a little bit late, but we didn't make too much of it. She's a pop star babe. Exactly. She's only five, ten minutes late, wasn't she? But she was trying to get a chance to sleep, so I let her off. Yeah, exactly. It's great. Frankie's absolutely lovely and lovely family, lovely couple, her and Wayne.

A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.

Thank you so much for having me. This is like the first podcast I've ever asked to be on. So, oh wicked. You should be really grateful you know. Hell yeah. You loved it so much you forgot you were on it. be really grateful you know. Oh yeah. That's not late for something that I asked to be on. Yeah, thanks. You loved it so much you forgot you were on it. Yeah, it happened to me first time when I'm the Jonathan Rosh show actually.

I just didn't turn up completely forgot. No, you didn't. And I'm joking. Oh, fuck you. It's going to the podcast Frankie Bridge. Thank you for having me. We should explain that you are a little bit late, nothing wrong with that Frankie. I'm not throwing any shade.

However, that's why he's good for this podcast because it's a real life reflection of how busy people are with kids. So you've got your, you're doing this podcast, but you've also got your nephews and your own kids in the house? Is that right? Come on holidays. Kind of right. So Wayne has actually taken my kids out so my kids aren't in the house. They're bowling with their cousins but their baby cousins are here. My sister's just popped out. And so I gave one of the twins a bottle and then he fell asleep on me and I'm gonna be honest I was just really bloody enjoyed it and then I'm like put him on the sofa put a million cushion you know like a cushion fort and was just kind of watching him went to take a picture and then had a message from my PR girl like Frankie the guys are waiting for you on parenting how and I was like fuck just ran into his mom

and was like watch the baby I was supposed to be on a cop-ass, but I just ran upstairs and then here we are. It's the perfect podcast to be late for that reason, right? It's almost like I'd set it up really. But I hate being late. Oh, how old's your nephew? I want to say 10 months? Oh, that's always a cute, when that's, 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, that, oh, oh, oh, oh, that, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that, oh, that, 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, that, oh, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that're a bit settled into their routine they're all squidging. And they're like kind of just starting to stand up and like very my brother-in-law finds it very stressful which only makes me enjoy it even more.

So yeah, because I've been there on that. Um, yes and they've got twins. Oh, oh. Blimey. Yes. Where's the other twin? He is out with that, the other the other thi. the other. thi. the other. thi. thi. the other. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. the.law for a walk to get him to sleep and he's a little bit hung over today so he's very much. He's only 10 months old. It's a bit of fun. We can all enjoy that kind of humor. I thought your jokes would be better than that. They're not franking. They're good. They're solid though and they're reliable and we know about what level we're getting. But I have to say my sister looks forward to driving the boys, you know when they're at that stage where they're having to

drive the boys around in the car for sleep and she looks forward to it so she can listen to your podcast. Oh that's nice. Do you listen? I do, I love it. We have bonded over said pod. Oh, there the sisterhood then over the podcast, was there something in particular? Just that we found it very funny and I went to visit her, they live in Bermuda and we were driving around and the kids were a seat and we were both like laughing out loud. Ah, we've been to Bermuda. We've been to Bermuda. You have been to Bermuda. We should do a tour show in Bermuda. Yeah, they should do it to do a to do a their. I. I their. I their. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their. I their their their their their th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thr. thr. throooooooooooooooome. I their thooooooomoome. I thoomoom. and then you went to visit and then they've come back and they're staying with you. Yeah, there was a lot of info in there. So what's your setup for people that don't know, what's your setup with kids and people

in your house normally when you haven't got your sister over? So Wang's mom and dad live with us, which seems to blow people's minds. On loose women, they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I is th. th. I's, th. th. I's, the, the, the, that that that that that that that thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. They're they talk about this a lot. Yes. They just can't seem to get their head around it. But it's great. It just kind of happened by accident. They're both retired. Yeah. They sold the house by accident. They did sell their house.

And then they were on can't pay, take it away. Yeah. So then they were like, right, we need to move in for a bit because they'd sold their house or whatever. And then they just stayed and never left. And we just, we never had any other child care and so it was perfect. When did they, how long have they, did they arrive temporarily? When did they infiltrate?

This was years ago, because when I first met Wayne, he was playing football. So his mom kind of like ran the house and sorted everything out for him. So when I was still in the Saturdays, so I was still working at the time, so that was good for me. I didn't, I didn't want to be running a house or anything like that. Yeah, of course. So it's just kind of was growing up my grand we had like she had the kind of half the house and we had half the house

if that makes sense. You lived in Berlin did you? Yeah we lived in unfortunate position of the wall. Yeah she was constantly trying to get over and we were trying to sniper off. Leave it out man. You picked your side. But it was like we're in different houses that were kind of connected, if you know what I mean. Are you, have you got separate areas or is it all one? No, it's all very much all one. We are very much as one. That must be hard for you though as well. How old are your kids as well by the way, Frankie? You got two boys, is that right? So, six and thi. is that right? So one is just about to turn six this week when we speak yeah and

seven so six and seven. Yeah all right but also quick turn around yeah yeah there was 22 months. 22 months blind me bro for that 22 months is fast isn't it? I know well funnily they true that twenty thau thrown to strictly I was pregnant and it's worse that the worst stories about strictly the thir they.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. thir th. there's there's there's th. th. thir thir thir tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So so so so so so so so so th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. So tho. by the end of Strickley I was pregnant. And it's Wayne. I think that happens on Strictly. There's worse stories about Strictly. Don't worry about that. Definitely Wines. It's definitely Wayne's still playing football when you had kids already finished by then? He was still playing football when we had our first.

Was that at West Down when he didn't care anymore? I'm trying what you, what you, what you, what you, what you, was, was th you, what you, was th you, was th you, th you, th you, th you, th you, th you, th you, I was just, th. What you, I was just, th. Was thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. There, thi of those? I'm trying to say. How dare you? I know, I'm just no, I'll mess it. But what I'm trying is that footballers' schedule is insane and you can never, so it must be... So is it? I always thought footballers had loads of time off. I'm a, knocked out of him very quickly. And then before a game they go for a pre-match lunch and a pre-match

walk which I could never get my head around. I was like what's your life? So yeah don't feel too sorry for him. Well I was thinking it more for you, like if you would you having to do more of the parenting when he was working because you know they do play away from home and all over the place don't they in the season. Did you mean that in two senses. It did sound it did sound like a suspect phrasing Rob. Did it? Did it sound bad? I didn't want to pick you up on it but when Frankie did I I I I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. I. I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. try. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to I didn't want to pick you up on it, but when Frankie did I thought, oh thank God she dropped out. I went in different football stadiums for their football club at work. Yeah, no, to be honest, I was working loads anyway and when we had, he was actually,

I don't know, I don't remember him going away that much. Again, maybe Robbie wasn't actually playing that much. It's funny for me, remember. But he was there, and when I went in to have him, when I went into have Parker, bless him, he was still training, and I think he might have had a match, and I made him sleep in like the pullout bed at the hospital. Ithe hospital sleeping on this like plastic pull-out bed. Did you and were you in the Saturdays for a period after you had a child? Yes I was still in the

Saturdays when I had Parker and what was that like did you take one tour and stuff? No so we had just oh what did I do? I can't remember no guys. I must have had him while I was on tour. I don't remember. Yeah, I mean- As long as you love him when he was in S Club Juniors, it's all right. Yeah. That's the key point.

Yeah, no, he kind of must have come around with us. I don't know what we only ever used to do, like, to to to to to to to to to be, to to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, tom, tom, tom, the the the the to, the the the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toomorrow, toomorrow, to, toomorrow, to, toomorrow, to, to, toomorrow, to, we only ever used to do, I don't know what it's like for you guys, but on tour for us, we'd only ever really do two shows back to back. I think I did a lot of like traveling there and then coming home. Yeah, so it was quite broken up. Yeah, so you could get like child and things like that or if there was only coming for one hotel or if you went with, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, to, to, to, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to, to, to, to.. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, like, like, like, like, like, like, room, I imagine, with the baby while you did the show and stuff. Oh amazing. But yeah, because both so busy, it's that must be hard to sort of balance it all out. But now, obviously you're still working loads and Wayne, doesn't, Wayne don't do anything, does he? So does he do more of the parenting now? Because you're writing your books? So when you're writing the books, is he doing more of that? What's the schedule? When you're writing the books, is he doing more of that? What's the schedule at home?

Because now he's retired. He doesn't have a job, does he, really? Yeah, no, he retired like, years ago now. He did two weeks in the jungle. That was tough. Yeah, that was really hard. He had to do a pre-jungle walk, didn't he? Before the show. And that when he got back and then that was it. Yeah, you know, he, no, he does, he does do most of it.

And he's good at it because he's great at playing with them and stuff. Like I'm not very good at the playing and stuff. I'm good at like bedtime and all of that. Although he did complain that yesterday I came home from work, had a nap. His mom was on the phone and he came back from the pub and Carter our youngest was like, no one's giving me dinner. He was like, oh right yeah I guess I'll just do in dinner then yeah and I was like oh yeah yeah could you

feed our child. I think that happens sometimes when you do have a lot of child care like of my my inlaws they've they've popped in quite a lot my tho. That when there are a lot of you in the house, sometimes you do you actually do less parenting in as a whole because you think I'm sure someone else is doing it. Yeah, and that's a thing. You do. You all think each other's done it and then you're like trying to get I see, I know Wayne a little bit and he's always up doing some sort of exercise, some sort of insane exercise regime. So is he normally early in exercising then does the kids' breakfast and school run stuff and then you do more stuff later on or how do you? Well yeah it's kind of such a mix. I'm sure you're aware like I don't, it's not every week I'm busy, not every day it's the same. So if I'm home I will do school runs and pickups and or we'll do it together.

Like I always think our kids are so lucky they get both of us there so much of the time. Where it's like I would never have had that as a kid. But yeah, he would generally either get up at the minute he's getting up early to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do. to do. the to do. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. throw. throw. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their. their. thi. thi. thi. their, their, their, or their, or their, or their, or their, or their, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, their, their, their, their, their, their, thin, they. And, they. And, they's, they's, they. And, they. And, they. And, their, their, their, their he's getting up early to do a workout before I go to work and then like sorting the kids out or we'll both kind of do it once we've done school drop-off yeah and then we kind of just figure it out as we go like we're not like the most organized people no but he has this real issue of like I kind of tend to go well you're the stay-at-home parent so you need to've got a party next week you need to get a present is like no No, sure job and I'm like well technically it's not my job like yeah You're actually retired now so you should be doing it he just can't do those types of things But that's fine I just literally go on online and all do something that's it yeah He's very hands-on he's weird to like retire like? He was younger than we are now Rob when he retired from football presumably like imagine like just going well that was it that was my

career done now? Well I think that's a lot of footballers struggle with that because it's sort of your purpose has been taken away that kind of thing but I think maybe it might be a good thing for you guys though because I think you have to make a lot of sacrifices if you, with someone who's in a band like you or someone in a football team because their career sort of dominates what the other person sort of does. So like if you get a move somewhere that you sort of have to go and then if you're on a big worldwide tour, you're just not a home for six to eight months sometimes. It's sort of, yeah. Do you know, it might not have worked, um, Sunderland, which was like, he was at Man City when I met him,

which was not too bad, but then Sunderland felt like the other side of the world. And I did say to him like, I would never be able to be we're quite lucky that we met when he was a bit older and he was kind of near the end and then we had kids whatever my career was near in the end. So it kind of all worked out for the better. But yeah, some people I know they move all over the place. Yeah, my son looks awful, do it? Like when you look at it from that point of view of like moving the family somewhere, you know. Because what if you want, I, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when, when, when you, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when you, when you, the, the, when, when, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, 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. know, because if you want to... No one feels sorry for footballers but let's not look like anyone does. Yeah, fair enough. All right, Lionel Messies just had to move his family to Paris from before I know. Oh, no. To another mansion in Paris. Oh, do what I mean? How the kids been unlike since lockdown and stuff? They were, they imagine they were at school when it first started, are they all back in school now and loving it, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th, their, th. th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th........... Yeah, th, th, th...... Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, their, their, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me, to to me, to to to to to to to to to to the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, they were, they imagine they were at school when it first started but are they all back in school now and loving it and stuff? Yeah they are. I mean loving it is a strong, like my eldest seems to really love school.

My other one could just not care any less. Like he's interested in the stuff that he's interested in school like he literally said to me the other day, it's like, mommy, considering his five. Yeah, mummy, 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 considering, it's considering, it's considering, it's considering, it's considering, it's considering, it's considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, the their, their, their, their, their, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, considering, it's, considering, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's considering, it's considering, it's, it's the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their all I do is get up, I go to school, I come home, I do homework, I go to bed and I get up and I go to school again and I go to school again and I was like, welcome to the rest of your life. You will go to school and then you will get a job and it will just be this for the rest of your your life. Unless you're a footballer then. A little. Then you're a football. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just thi. I'm just 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. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I do. I th. I do. I do. I do. I to. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I to th. I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to can knock off at 33. Yes, exactly. So I'm always saying to him, like, look, you ever need to be like really, like, really concentrate at school or like be really good at some sort of spool or find something like a talent that you're really good at. I've got to find something to distract you.

Can you see already if they're like got your performing gene or if they've got the Wayne Bridge sporting gene? I mean I'd love to know. My my two were like where we live football I don't know the same for you guys but you're a bit younger but I as football is like a massive everyone's so desperate for their kids to play football. I know it's a bit tragic I find at point. I'm just a bit embarrassed. South East East the S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S I the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm. I'm th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd to to to th. I'd to to to th. I'd to to to to th. I'd to to to to to to to to to to th. I to th. to to th. th. to to the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. to the. the. th points. South East London, they'd rather that than anything. Anything else? That scientist? Nah, footballer. Boreen, football that's all they want.

And you can see in the full kit. Yeah, it's a long shot as well, isn't it? And they just like, they all play it. And like, they all play it. They all play it. And my two are the only two were the only two in their year groups that didn't play football, which I think just blew people's minds. Yeah. Like they were the only two and they just couldn't care less.

And my son at one point I was like, oh is he going to walk past everyone and be like really that he's the only one not there. And he was just like, bye. the thing is thine, the way, the way, the way, the way, th, th, th, th, th, th, football, but he's not really into football massively. He's more into music and things like that, isn't he really? I'll find. I mean, they've both started, my youngest is playing piano this today and the other one's playing violin, which is just going to be hell on a stick. But, you know, I'm encouraging it.

So it's looking at the minute, like they're more, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th,'re more musical I mean let's see how long that last he had a drum kit last year and that's already in the loft so or you know you've got a new book out now that maybe they could be writers like their mom they might be writers they do and they seem quite proud of me about that as well which is really sweet which you know they couldn't care less like we've try to show them like they they've 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 th th I the the the the the the the thro the the they've the they've the they've the they've the they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're the the the the try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try the the the the they're they're the ttt and like my eldest is just like looks up from his iPad and looks back down again and he's like yeah whatever. And you're showing him videos of S Club Junior's going come on mate give me a chance I know yeah I'm like I'm a bit have you ever seen mean girls. I feel like kind them I'm like I'm a cool like showing them pictures of me when I was and videos when they were all their boy mates come round that's that's the the the theyme they they they they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were their their they were they were they were they were they were they they they they they they they were they were their they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were 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 they were they were they were they were their their boy mates come round. Like, still got it. And then just sort of people, like, that's me and Craig David, or just some people that were really massive at the time.

And they're like, oh? Yeah, that's gonna be me. Oh, so the thing is, I do think kids, I do you think kids, I do you think, the book's, the books about motherhood, mental health and me. Do you talk about the kids in the book much or is it more your sort of experiences have been a month? Just to be clear, by saying me you mean Frankie, it's not Rob Beckett.

It's not a rob. Rob Beckett. It's called Grow, motherhood, mental, and me, and me, mental, mental, and me, mental, and me, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the kids, th, th is thi, thi., too too too too too too too too too too the is thoooooooo. tho She was really struggling with the word counts. She was at 100 pages on Rob Beckett. Mother of her mental health and Rob Beckett. What he means to women? I think you could just title your chicken on the floor and then be done with it. Try chicken by a bin by Rob Beckett.

Yeah, like, can I just say, I know I digress, but at that moment I said to Wayne, I was like, you know, in that moment, he felt like he was being so profound. He had just said something that no one else had ever said in that moment. Can I be honest with you? I don't even remember filming it. So I don't at no point, because if I even knew that I did that, I wouldn have posted it but I just did it but yeah that was I've actually you know well like those are people talk to you about that and I've had a bit I've had some backlash from Geese's go my mate saw it when believe apparently he had a photo you were the the the the conspiracy for you I was like there's no there there's no way if you've to do that if I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the to to to to to to to to the to to to the to to to the to the to to the to the the to to to the to to to the to their to to to to to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 their I I their I 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. that I was I was no I was no I was th Rob. You'd, that would be, why have you waited 10 years to do that if you've had that in your locker, that unbelievable drunk role performance? The weird thing about that is I get tagged, people, I get tagged with KFC on every single post anyone ever posts

KFC. Is it fine, I've got a hotline to the Colonel. Come on, mate. Sort the next browns out. Rob, do you know what the secret source is? Do you know what the special ingredients? I don't know what the secret blend of 11 herbs and spices is. I've got no idea. So for your next celebration, there is a gravy fountain with fried chicken that you can have. You know, like when you do it like a chocolate fountain, you could do it as a gravy.

I've got to try and move on from it though, Frank. I cannot be divined by fried chicken. That can't be my legacy. I think it's too late. I think it is too late. It's too late. in your obituary is going to be a picture of you next to a bin. I'm going to have to go to Qatar and get drunk and get arrested to change it and then be one of those free Rob Beckett stuck behind bars in Qatar. As long as you get in the bucket hat no one can. Yeah exactly I'm sure it'll be fine.

I'm sure let me have that in prison. Anyway okay I can't remember what you asked me. Well, about your book, your PR person's going to be furious. You turned it back around to me. That's the book time done, let's get back to your parent. I'm really sorry. You're doing PR for KFC now. What did you ask me? What about my book? Your book? So the book, is it more about, because, because, like, because, I think, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, that, the book, that, that, that, that, that, the book, the book, that, the book, the book, the book, the book, the book, the book, the, first child or second? Or both? No, so I had antinatal depression.

Oh, sorry, sorry. No, that's fine. So depression while I was pregnant. And funny enough, like I assumed I would get post-natal depression and luckily I didn't. But it is kind of, it is all aimed around mental health and parenting, but also just a book to say look this is how I have done everything this is how I have found parenting yeah but it's not right or wrong and whatever you do it is not right or wrong because I can't stand the pressure and the judgment that comes from being a parent and I don't know whether you feel it as men but definitely as women it's like this it can be quite competitive and people can get especially online people can get really angry and things you choose to do and I just don't understand it because

I mean you've got multiple children so you know from one child to the next how different yeah exactly is to parent each child and yeah and I've got my psychologist who kind of gives insights and tips and my kids pediatrician who kind of explains the way kids work and how to deal with it so that's good that's really yeah because it said you've got is a doctor doctor Ed Abrahamson and yeah the psychologist as well Dr. Khan so yeah I think that's really good actually because it's sort of you can talk about your anecoe. the anecdote that they which I think is really important, there's a Ruby Wax's book, not to plug another book but does that because she's really badly these plugs,

isn't it, Frank? She, she, uh, other people have written books by mental health, I'm afraid, Frankie, it's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've really cracked into a new. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really really, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really. Yeah, really. Yeah, really. Yeah, really. Yeah, really. Yeah, really. Yeah, this movie, Robert, it sounds really good. I'd love to hear more about it. At the same time as mine, that would be even better. I saw it. It was just left on the side of the counter of a KFC in Camberley. No, but she's, she basically, what, that struggled with a mental health and then she learned to be a therapist and stuff and then she learned she learned she learned she learned to learn she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned, she learned to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, to be, to be, to be to be, to be to be, to be to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, to be, to be to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a their, their, their, th. the. thean, I. thean, I. thean, I. thean, I was to me, I was to, I was to, I was to, I'm to deal with these things and these are the CBT methods, however, why do we feel like that? And all the therapies said, oh, we don't know. And then you had to speak to a neuroscience. So she did like a degree in neuroscience to sort of understand both sides, which is what this book is where you've got the day and day out stuff of why you feel like, but by having the explanations, I thin' to to to to to to to to to to to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to speak, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, Exactly, which has been my whole journey with mental health, which is why I wrote my first book,

just to kind of be like, this is what happened, but here are the people that explained it to me, help me to understand it. And to understand it medically, kind of makes you be able to make sense of it, instead of feeling like you've success with the Suss days and, you know, married to a footballer, all those sort of things that a young girl might think if I have all that I'll be really happy but that's not how the brain's work, is it? Yeah, no, and that's exactly why I've always spoken about it to be honest. So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it, yeah, yeah, it, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, it, it, it, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, all tho, all that, tho, all tho, all those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those th. th. th and all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all th. that, all all all all all that, all that, all that, all tho, all tho, all tho, all thooo, all thoooooooo, all thooooosand all thoosand all thoosand all thoosand all thoos book like through lockdown and all of that stuff like that was like a real insight into like being at home all time

with the kids and I think most parents found that really difficult hence how you started your podcast. Yeah of course. So it just seemed the right time. Did you find that that you know the circumstance of lockdown it made you sort of slipped sort of depression moments and stuff like that. Yeah you know what for me a lot of my anxiety comes from like social anxiety yeah so it at first it was just great I was like oh my god I don't have to say yes the things I don't want to do I don't have to make up a lie as to why I can't come or say yes and then they'd be like Wayne but I really don't want to to th th th you the the to the to to to to the to the to to to to the the to to to to to the to to the to the to to the the to the the to th I to th I th I th I to to to to the. the. the. the. thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. they. they I they I th I th I th i I th i I th i I to th i I to to to th i I to to to to to to thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm the an the an thean. the an thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. the an the an So I kind of like really enjoyed it. And then when we started to come out of lockdown, I was like, oh shit, there's like parts of my old life

that I don't really want to have back. You know, that whole busyness and whatever. So I found that really difficult. And then like with the kids just explaining stuff to them. Oh, you're allowed to go and see nanny and to to go to go and see Nanny and Granda today, oh have the germs gone then? Oh no, but now we're just allowed? Like I probably explain it. It's just so weird. Do you speak to your children about your mental health? Like are they aware of what you've been through and stuff? I don't think they're aware as in like I've never kind of properly told them yet but like you, if I have a day, like Wayne's very good if I have a day where I just can't get out of bed or, you know,

I can't stop crying or whatever, which a lot far and few between these days. But if I do, he's very good at just kind of taking the kids out, and I just kind of say to the boys, oh, mommy's not feeling very well. But I try and get them to talk about their mental health in a way of, I don't know, like when I pick my kids up from school, they do not want to talk to me. They don't want to tell me what they've done or who they've played with. And I remember that feeling, but I still do it to them.

Yeah. So at bedtime, I kind of just say to them, so, what to their. and what didn't you like about your day today. And then they kind of tell me and then I get an idea of, you know, what's making them happy or unhappy. And then if I forget, they're like, Mommy, you haven't asked us about our day? Sorry. But imagine if you've got in from work,

but imagine if you've got in from work, I went, so to tell you talk to you? Shut up. Like, if it as an adult you feel like that, but that's a good way doing it at bedtime, what they liked and what they didn't like. Well, because they're avoiding going to sleep as well, so they'll tell you anything just to stay their wake. Yes. My daughter, you know what was like, no you're not, you heard me say that once. I know, don't, we're currently sleeping on the floor because I sold out bed and I haven't

bought a new one. What? What? What did you buy? Did you sell your bed when you didn't have a new one? Well I just decided that I didn't like it and I know what the bed? But then we haven't painted the walls walls. the walls. the color of the bed and it's all a process and then it'll probably take six weeks, won't it? So, you know, you're on the floor?

What do you mean on the floor? Have you got linelines? So we're on a mat... Yeah, you know those blow up sofas? Yeah, you know those blow up so we're just... We're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, we're just, the, the, the, the, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. the, tho, th. the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, tho-we're, tho-we're, that, that nights. Yeah. Do they start in their own beds or do they do? Oh, well, not at the minute, Rob. Okay, so they go to your mattress on the floor. Yes.

And then we all get in. They've got proper beds? Yeah, they've got this amazing bunk bed with a freaking slide and they still come to bed so he goes to sleep in the bump beds. He has sent, he has admitted to me that he was at one night got home and went into said bunk beds and was sending his friend videos of him going down the slide. Well that's the thing I'd be tempted to sneak into the bump beds once they're asleep on the mattress.

No, because it's so comfortable. I actually, I like having them there, but the dogs now joined in as well. Oh, I'm in the dog. Oh, I'm in the dog. But we have a single mattress next to our mattress on the floor, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, for, the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.... th. thi. thi. the, thi. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the old is a child. Sounds like the poshious crack then of her word. It is yeah and like it's all bumped up to my side of the site like so it's like one big massive bed yeah yeah my son still gets off of his mattress and gets on my mattress. Really? I just don't understand why they need to be so. Also because that's seven they're getting big now now as well. That's what I mean. So what's if you got a plan if you've the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their they they they're they're they're they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're going. they're they're they're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. They're getting. they're getting. they're getting. they're getting. they're getting. they're getting. they're going. they're going. they're going. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to you, is you got a plan, are you going to try and get him into the bed or just wait from to not want to be in the bed? I mean, I'm not going to lie, Rob, probably wait till they just don't want to be in

there anymore because it would just be so much easier. big grown-up cot. There's a lot of, that happens a lot of kids though, they get into the bed. There was a broke I met who actually put in his bedroom because it was happening at an actual bed so they have the double bed and then an actual bed. So like, would you, did you normally have the actual bed in there? Like, or is it just a mattress that? No, yeah, no, it was an actual bed, but they'd come and get in that anyway. But when they were smaller, it was a lot easier, but obviously now, and they always sleep diagonally, they were starfish, my youngest wants to be like right up my ass, like, they can't get any closer.

And Wayne bless him sometimes ends up on the single mattress. It's proper bottom of the peck in order now. Yeah, because I wonder he's always always their their their their their their their they they they's they's they's they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the peck in order now. Yeah, because I wonder he's always up early training and I would be too if I was getting bumped to a single mattress. Honestly, he come in one night and like I said, the rule is because he snores so much when he's had a drink. If he goes out, he just doesn't come and get in our bed, he's the bed and I went, if he goes out, where he's like, I'm coming to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, he, he, he, he's, I'm, I'm, I'm, 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, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, to, to... I'm, to. I'm, to. to. to. t. t. t t t t t t t t t t t t to me, come, come, come, he was at our bedroom door and I went what are you doing and he was like I'm coming to bed and I was like mmm really and then I turned around he went to get in the bed and there was it just slither of bed right and he's trying to get on the bed right and he's trying to get on the the legs and I looked up the to and I and I and I and I to to to to to to to to to the the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to the the the to to the the 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the trying to get in bed and I went, no, I said, get off and go and get in the other bed. And he picked up the dog, thinking I was talking about the dog,

picked the dog up, put him on the floor and I went, no, not the dog, you! And he was like, no! No! So I was like, yeah, fully at the bottom now, what size of the dog? What size of the dog? What breed are we looking at? He's a multi poo, a multi poo called turbo. Multi poo called turbo? I didn't know that multi poo was a breed of dark. Is it? Multi poo is he like buying a load of them or multi? I don't know whether I want to Google this do I? A multi? Maltie? A multi? As in Maltese. I thought he was in Maltese.

Yeah, oh I'm sorry I'm from Essex, I don't pronounce words properly. Yeah, Mol-Malti. Oh that is a small dog. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it's from Malta's a small dog? It's from Malta. I don't know, actually.

Google it, Rob. I've just Googled Malta. No, they're from Malta, aren't they? Yeah, but is malt from Malta? It's malt from Malta. This has gone off the rails. Relax. Well, this has been making the edit.

I thought Ruby wax was a low moment for the book promo but this is a new uh... unfortunately this will make the edit Frankie. And there will be someone screaming at their car radio? No you idiots. Mort is a separate thing. I look forward to the 70 emails about Malt. Yes. Anyway, so did you find writing the, well, two books now. Do you find that a kind of cathartic experience and do you feel like that helps you understand what you've been through? Cathartic, no. Stressful, yes. Really, really helps your mental health journey just adding more pressure. Yes, it really doesn't. But it's worth it in the end. And it did make me understand that when I wrote open it made me really understand that a lot of my anxiety and my depression and stuff comes from control.

So like I'm not controlling in the in day-to-day basis, anyone can do whatever they want. But I've always felt the pressure to keep, in my head, I like to keep all my loved ones and my friends and stuff, safe and happy. And I always took that on as like my role. one bed. In one bed. If we all sleep in one room. Wayne's mom and dad as well. I think that's weird and I'm going to call you out on that.

Have you seen Chonny in the chocolate factory? Yeah, it's like that. All the granddad's. And so I did learn a lot about myself through that. And then with Grow, it kind it kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind the that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind the that kind of that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that. that that that that that that that that that that. that that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. the th. the th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that. that. that. that. that. that. that. through that and then with grow it kind of came out of lockdown of like the frustration of the of the fact that parents don't feel like they can talk about Kind of in the way that you guys do very well I have to say is like talking about the things that you find hard and the things that you haven't enjoyed or the things that maybe you haven the most is that we all feel like we have to say I

love my children but yeah I know you love your children just because you don't like bathtime or bedtime or you don't play with them for 20 hours a day I don't sit here and thin to thin the thing oh god you must hate them yeah yeah of course it's just that oh god is that nap time over? What alarm? What's what alarm? What's that in at 10 to 3? What's happening at 10 to 3? What's it? Another interview guys? Another interview? Who with? Who is it? I don't know? Come and tell us.

Like magazine or like newspaper type thing, yeah. Oh, that's a funnest disc, guys. All they're going to do is trying to get you to slag off one of the Saturdays. We're better than that.

We're not going to do that, but which one do you hate that. Yeah, what's molly like. Yes, so there's other book. No, look, no, but we're promoting your one and it's called Grow, Mental Health, Motherhood and Rob Beckett. I keep going off on a tangent and then you too keep bringing it back like proper presenters. I'm very impressed. We're trying our best friend about it. But that's not why I'm here, guys, I'm just a damn love. You're here to fulfill the obligation from the publisher, the publisher, the publisher, the publication, the publication, the publication, to, to, to, the publication, to, to, to, their, to, to, to, their, to, to, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, to to to to to, I's, I'm, I'm, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm to, I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to be, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.

I you fancy Colin on my parenting podcast a husband Josh Rudikam? We could do it over the internet takes 30 minutes and it's just us slagging off our kids a moment about our audience. We are repeating tomorrow one o'clock if that doesn't work we can do another time. Hope you Wayne and the kids are all good. Nothing nothing. You know what I'm gonna be honest if you Rob come I didn't know that you and Josh.

I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to you and Josh were funny at that point. Well the jury is still out on Josh.

Tell us to sit next to a bin and eat some chicken I don't know how funny it could be to listen to someone talking about Bin Day. Do you know what I mean? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, well you know you didn't take a chance to us there but we didn't hear you, Frank. We've always wanted you on. Exactly. The moment you had something to promote, here we were, and we're delighted. Yeah, now your boots out. Oh, Jockey's on fire. See, I love that. I give him a bit of shit and he comes back strong with an absolute clamor. I feel awful. I feel awful now. I feel awful now. I've sorry I'm so sorry I'll be there everyone I've nothing to promote also I've got a couple other message I fancy drink sometime

Wayne's a bore stuff like that you ignored as well so fair enough I'm sorry Frankie sorry I'm really sorry sorry Josh that didn't send you no it's fine it's fine that's you know that why the book is about me you know you know my heard it'sthe book is about me you know you know Rob Beckett's we've um should we do the final question Josh because Frankie's got to go and speak to other publications yeah exactly she's got you know absolutely fine right here's the final question we always ask Frankie

it's called Crosby's law where Matt Crosby sort of moaned about his parent in but now if there's one thing that Wayne does your partner Wayne does It's called Crosby's law where Matt Crosby sort of moaned about his partner's parenting. But now if there's one thing that Wayne does, your partner Wayne does with the kids that really annoys you, but you can't really mention it in case you have a row. Is there something or you might have entered it already but it's something that he does that just really annoys you when it comes to the kids? Oh God. I mean there's loads. I can't whittle it down. Just give me a second guys. Um, is it the hangovers?

If he's hungover? No, you know what he's very good on a hangover? Is he? That's the only way we've managed to stay together for 10 years. Yeah, exactly. It's not how much, it's that how much part in or drinking drinking does your part to do it? It's how can they cope the next day it's the killer? It doesn't matter what they do the night before. No, it honestly doesn't. I couldn't care less as long as these up the next day, bright and breezy on that trampoline.

I didn't care. He's been on it all night, basically. It's just happens the's definitely the fun one, which is fine because he's so much better at it than me. But it's like my eldest, I was always, like his favorite. And now it really annoys me that Wayne's his favorite. Really? Okay, yeah.

Well, because it also, it's not annoying. Does it annoy you as well how much exercise he does even when he's hung over? That would drive me mad. How much exercise is he doing? Oh my, you've never seen anything. Like he goes to runs but puts backpacks on with extra weight on it because he's so fit that he needs more weight. Yeah, it does do that, Josh. That's not going to be good for his neck, Rob. I'm going to pass that on because that's

going to be problematic. It's more annoying if I'm like sat on the sofa and then he's on like his third workout of the day and I'm like just shoveling in for my chocolate and I'm just like just have a fucking rest babe you know I mean just sit down eat some shit if he could just be more of a slob that would just be the all of us. Yeah, exactly. Okay, we'll have to let him know. We'll have to get him on here and give his side of the story, Frank. I know, yeah, I did think if he was here, I was going to say, he'd probably love to pop on, but he's not here. Oh, the fun one. just so that we say it one more time. No, let's do a proper plug for your book.

The only reason you're here, you aired us when you want to talk about your blooming books all the time. So I thought we've been very reluctant in this interview. Ruby Wax has got more out of it than we have. This is possibly the only interview that you haven't mentioned it. Really, well, you know, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're not, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're going, we're to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, we're to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the th th we're not going to now, but if you don't know, we'll save that for the outro.

I know, I feel like I that's that's that's that's that's that's the book. I enjoy your more boring interview. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. By.

Frankie Bridge. What a lovely woman. She's brilliant, Frankie. They're both, I know Wayne. I met Frank a few times. So do you know Wayne through the jungle, Rob or just general? No, so I know Wayne Bridge through Paul McCaffrey, who was on this show. They've been like childhood friends for 20, 30 years they knew each other at school I think or just being from Winchester and Paul's big Southampton fan and he played at South Hampton Wayne.

So I've basically got absolutely battered. I used to get drunk with Wayne and Paul and a few others on Zoom in the first lockdown. No. Yeah, yeah, so to the point where I was sick in the toilet I was got so drunk. Oh no. Celebrity life the the the th. I was th. I was sick. I was sick. I was sick. I was sick. I was sick. I's th. I's th. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've thi. I've thi. I've th. I've got th. I've got thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've to thi. I've to thia. I've thia' thia' thia. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've toilet I was got so drunk. A celebrity life you lead Rob. Yeah it's really crazy just in your house are drinking alone but I'd get battered because I just didn't I couldn't you can't judge our pistou I'll set out of a computer. But yeah so I know Wayne a little bit and then I've met out with him a couple of times like he's come to see me do much, but yeah, she's lovely, she's really nice and so good being open about all those kind of things. Tense and I'm I think that's such a positive thing to be open about because I'm sure even when, you know,

Frankie was first going through stuff, but it wasn't as opener thing in society. Yeah, no, she's, you know, part of the reason that's a parthihihihi. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin, th. thin, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, th. thin, thin, thin, th. that, th. th. thin, that's, thin, thin, that's, that's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm s thing, I'm s thing, I'm s thing, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind, I, I, I's, I, I, I's, I's, I. I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, th. And, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, I'm so, th. And, I'm so, th. And, I'm so yeah because I think she spoke about a lot I think she's that sport relief thing and talking about mental health and like you say she's you know in a girl band, a massive girl band and Wayne's a footballer like you it's really like no one feel sorry for posh a bed. But when that book came out as well mental health wasn't a massive topic I mean that's brilliant what she's doing she's really lovely and yeah really nice really nice person couldn't agree more really funny doesn't need to have that much personality when they're that beautiful in a girl band she has got it it's similar with me isn't it because me and you we need a personality we need a personality right thank you bridge does not need that much personality

but she's got it as well. She's got it. Oh, good luck to her. And the moment she becomes, you know, punctual, shall be the full package Rob. Should be the full package. It's a hangover from the Galban days. No one's ever on time. But you know, we'll forgive her. Anyway, right, we'll speak to you on Tuesday with another episode.
