Starting point is 00:00:32 Sotomayor, 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 of course, tales of parenting woe. 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...
Starting point is 00:01:22 Can you see it Rob Beckett. Good girl. Can you see Josh Weddickom? Weddicom. Wedicom, well done, darling. There we go. Oh, that's nice. That started South African and Finnish Scottish. It's like Mel Gibson in Brave Art. Come on. Still works. How old's that film? Twenty-three years? It's still a nice bit of work, isn't it? Nice bit of satire.
Starting point is 00:01:50 If I say what, Dick Van Dyke sounds a bit funny in that new film. What about Kevin Costner is Robin Hood, eh? Have you heard that new tune from Brian Adams? I think's gonna be a big song, you know, I' tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thin, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi''a'a'a'a'a'a'a'n'a'a'a'a'a'n'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a big song, you know, I think it's going to stream well. Do you know what though? I bet it doesn't stream well. I wonder how many, you know like it was number one for 16 weeks or whatever? Yeah. When was the last time you heard that? Well, I don't know, I think you get like, why don't we write a song and stream it on Spotify to see what we could hear? I think that's. that we that we that we that we that we that we that we 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's that's that's that's th.

Before we could talk about your own PR tour as what it feels like you're the winner of Big Brother 7 the amount of radio interviews everyone wants a piece of Josh Winnock I'd like to take my Brian Adams observation back he's had 33 million streams of someone so on 65. Oh. Some of 69. th. th. th. th. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th.

Starting point is 00:02:45 Even though, as we all agree, it's an average sex position. Yes. I did a great sex position joke because I think it's a bit hack the whole funny wording going, oh, it sounds like a sex position. Oh, it sounds like a porn star name. Do you know what I mean? But I was doing an award, and up for one of the awards, was, was, was, was, their, their, their, their, was, their, their, was, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, th, I, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, is, is, is, is a great, I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, 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.......

Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah, well, don't think about that now. I quite enjoy them. I think they're... I'm going to post-lockdown. You haven't done an in-person award ceremony since one where we weren't allowed to to touch the people, but the drunk, but the drunk, but the people..... the people. their, their, their, their, their but the drunk people winning awards were not playing ball. Oh but just before lockdown yeah I've done quite a few but I think I think I don't think Romish like I don't think Romish does many and I am happy to gobble them up. Yeah like a Pac-Man give me a hotel

They're big bellies, only just got back in their suits after lockdown. Good luck to him. Sweatting profusly as they came to collect the fourth time that week. Josh what would you think the Brunel carriage would be as a sex move off the top of your carriage? Well it's lies held and suspended. Yeah it's clays held and suspended and Brunel was obviously the inventor of the suspension bridge. So I think you're
Starting point is 00:04:55 going at it so hard there's steam coming out your ass like like an industrial revolution. Yeah exactly yeah and you're also wearing a top hat. Yeah it's It's th th th.

No, but there's lots of lovely places in Scotland isn't there? It's very picturesque. Josh, how has your week been? You are everywhere. I'm so tired of. For someone who said they didn't know how to sell a book, every time I go on Instagram or turn the radio on or turn your face and your book. Yeah, it's, do you know what, wrong? You're a machine. I'm not saying that I'm burned out, right? But I'm living so much on adrenaline that my sweat has started to smell different. That cut, that's not a thing. What does it smell of? A different smelly a man, my sweat smells worse because I think because the amount
Starting point is 00:08:05 of adrenaline going through my body this week was to keep me going. Well now it doesn't look like a book about a young buck who remembers watching the tele. It sounds like you're an ex sort of like 90s TV drug addict talking about being on the tele. Well that's why I was on the bloody number one of the gambling charts in Amazon. But now you're on the normal charts now the television charts you're number one aren't you? Yeah yeah it's been a lovely it's been a lovely experience and I've had some lovely times but we don't focus on them on this podcast right so do you want to hear the disasters? Yeah yeah of course yeah let's not beat around the bush I've had a lovely time on Chris Evans. Now let's tell you about a disaster I had on Capital Extra.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I did enjoy the fact that you was on radio too with Emma Raducano, with Emma Raducano, Emma Radicano, Anton Dubek, with Emma Raducch, with Emma Raducch, their today. Jesus. Oh, mate, come on thetwo shows with Dubek in 12 hours. What's he promoting? Strictly? Yeah, Strictly's on tomorrow. You need to promote that? Who doesn't know that's back? I know. It's like when they go. Could you do some interviews about the new series of last leg? Are you fucking kidding? You're like to tell that? Yeah? Yeah? th. th. their? their? their? their? their? their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Yeah? Yeah? their. their. their. their. their. th. Yeah? Yeah. their. 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. It's.

S. Yeah, they's they's they's they's they's up. They like us or they hate us. We don't need to tell them, oh what's this show? They know. Strictly as well. People know Strickley's on. You might as well go and do PR for Saturdays. Do you know guys it's Saturday tomorrow? Yeah, Anton's Rebecca's talking about Saturday. Yeah you might have forgot, but it's coming back after Friday every week it's Saturday. Knell Strickley's on oh yeah what can you ask anyway to take the journey
Starting point is 00:09:49 right let's talk to you about Capital Extra so have you seen your kids this week oh no mate it's been really bad So I did Capitol with Amanda Holden and Jamie Thexton, yeah, which was pleasant, very nice. They're lovely people, aren't they? Also, it's great for you because all the people that now present the radio are people you watched on the tele. Exactly, you're going, Theekston, Evans, ball. It's just, it's absolutely perfect.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Yeah. Then on to the one show for Ronan Keating. Oh, I'm not gonna lie, I slag off Boys' zone in the book, but I'm confident he won't have read it. So let's plow on. No, yeah, I think you'll be fine. He didn't read the book. He didn't read the book. He didn't read the classic? So what, so Capital FM, that's the one that Roman Kemp does the breakfast show on?
Starting point is 00:10:48 They're all in the same building, aren't they? They're on the global radio building, which is a extra? What's the music there? What's the music there? What in the building, they started sniffing around. Yeah, I know he's really great for our demographic, Josh Riddickham talking about telly in the 90s. Well, no, because it was one of those, can you do this for the socials things, right? Oh, for the social? The classic. While you're here. For the previous people, the example they showed me were Romish, the example thian, they were, 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, the thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, tell, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, to, to, tell, to, tell you're tell you're tell you're telli, they. they. they. tell you're they. telli, tell you're telli, telli, together. So I thought if John and Lucy have done it. Oh yeah, Romish is into hip pop and urban music. But John and Lucy. Yeah, I'd say you're cooler than John and Lucy and Lucy. Do you know what, mate? That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. I think you're more capital extra. I am more urban than Lucy Bea a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons. Change is in the air.
Starting point is 00:11:46 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.C.A. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. I'm not going back to university to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber 1 for students.

So I was meant to have a 20 minute gap before this, my one 20 minute gap today and then I got a text from my agent saying you've forgotten to do the chat about who do you think you
Starting point is 00:12:50 are quotes. And so if I'm unprepared for this it's because the 20 minutes had allowed to think about my week was then taken up with another PR interview. What's how has this happened Josh? Because I'm a man who did? to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. to. to. I. I Because I'm a man who can't say no, Rob. So did you, did you, did you agree to do loads of things in lockdown when stuff was quiet and it's all come at once? Is that what's happened? No, I said when, when the book came out, I was like, I'm willing to do as much PR as you want me to do because when you've put the effort into doing Well, you've done more than Radikarnu and she won the US Open. You're set for set with Radu Karnu on PR.
Starting point is 00:13:28 She doesn't need to do PR, mate. She went to the Met Ball. I'm surprised you didn't squeeze that into your schedule. It's awful, isn't it, when you have to leave the Metball early because you're doing BBC Radio Berkshire. I don't find that when you go like Radio Barkshire and there's like, oh yeah because you've got a few more tickets to sell in Reddin. I'm like, oh fucking come or don't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:13:55 You know what I mean? Oh Jesus, Christ. Because I'm not across the tour, like, like the sales, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, 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, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that, that, to. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the, the. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, th. that, th. th. th. to. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. that, that, that, that, that, that, of the tour I just don't want to know. Okay, but you know if they send you to radio about that's the problem when I get an email saying could you do this local radio interview I think well that's a fucking right off Liverpool's not selling. Right there we go. You're better off knowing. I'm better off knowing. I'm just preferred to live in. Oh, well, that's the end of stoke. I'm. that's. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the the th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoooooes. the the thoooing. thoing. thoing. thoing. the the th. the th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thooooooooooooooo to to to to to to to to to to to tho tho tho tho th Stafford. I thought I think it was a hate campaign against me in like Belfast and Derry then I realized that they're just still in lockdown and the theatre is shut and I say oh that makes sense and that's why people are booking tickets. I'm sorry Josh I keep talking right? Is that's a tapotally. Oh yeah so you have to watch four hip hop hop videos on YouTube. th on them and make wry comments right basically. Well that's sort of a one way to get cancelled that isn't it for you little a little honky boy
Starting point is 00:14:47 with glasses sitting there judging hip-hop videos. Well you're not judging I you play it low status Rob you talk about how you know there was one that was set in a prison I talk about how I wouldn't do well in prison that kind of. Oh you bring it back to you absolutely right. Bring it back to me, make me the idiot right? Yes. But then it turned out I was the idiot, but they didn't realize I'd made this mistake wrong. So they played the first two videos, I did a solid job, the third one they pressed play. First minute it was quite a generic boring hip-hop track. And then I was like this song has gone mad. It's like it's almost unlistable and I kind of admire it because I've never heard like I've never heard it's so layered and it's like there's so many different beats. And I got to the end and then I realized they'd managed to play two YouTube videos at the same time.
Starting point is 00:15:38 The Widdick remix. They'd been playing two different tracks. I was talking about how this is like nothing I've ever heard before in my life. This is so uncommercial as well. It's a really admirable that they've made this a single because you can't really hear what's going on. This is a seven incher. It's a seven inch new drop. It's amazing that you can buy this in our price. But they didn't notice I'd done it Rob. So they they they just deleted the second. the second. the second. the second. done it Rob. So I just deleted the second YouTube video. I never spoke of it.
Starting point is 00:16:06 And they must have thought, he had a really weird reaction to that really generic YouTube, that really generic. Yeah. But it turned out, I was listening to two songs at the same time. Oh no, oh Josh. Oh dear. So that was one of the low moments. The other, the other, the other, the other, when, when, when, when, when, when, well, when, well, well, when, well, when, well, when, well, when, when, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, I was, was, was, the, was, was, the, was, was, was, was, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I. to, I. to, I. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, I. to, I. to, I. to, I. to, I. to, I. to, I. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the to. the the the to. to. the to. to. to. to. doing near hell on five live yeah and they surprised me with a special guest oh because we were talking about big break and they surprised me with John Virgo on
Starting point is 00:16:34 the phone oh wow I'm not saying I was exciting Rob but my glasses steamed up up Josh you want I remember once I remember once we talking about 8 out of 10 cats as countdown, and you went, you know, whenever a go on that, he sort of treat me like the little nerd, like, you know, and they say like, oh you and John get on because you're a card and you're little nerd and you're not actually a nerd and then you say things like that. And you can't complain. Do you know, I've relaxed into who I'm the thia I tha tha tha thu I thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu that that that that that-a that-a try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try that that that that that that that that, I sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort that that that that that that that that that thau thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. thau. treate t years ago you thought you was deleting of an indie band, but then you realise you're a little funny nerd fella from the countryside. So how was Virgo?
Starting point is 00:17:12 He was absolutely lovely. Do you know what? It was a dangerous game they played because they asked me about Jim Davidson just before. I could have easily gone in two-footed on Davidson with Vergo sat there on the phone waiting to to their to to to their their to thagage.. to to to thage. to th. to th. th. th. tho. tho. tho.

Is Virgo still mates of him? Well, this did come up in the interview. They don't see each other anymore, but they've just got very different lives. So it's not that they've fallen out. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:31 They've got very different, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but I've got a lot of respect for JV. So anyway, that's been my week. Phrasingly, Rob, I've been doing that. I've got a Sunday brunch on Sunday. When have you got it? Thanks for that extra bit of Intel. Guys, good listening to this.
Starting point is 00:17:53 You get all the insight in the television industry. That is a long show. You're going to sliptell you why because you're knackered and when you're there for three hours you just remind me and Antony Becker on together. It's not a trip and I'm on the Beck. It's not, it's not. It's not. That's he promoting Sundays. Who are you on there?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Who are you there for? Who are you? Who's the one, I just find the best thing to do on there is just be disruptive. Yeah, it's boring otherwise. Have I ever told you about the one time I went on Sunday brunch and the disaster, I must have told you this about the egg? I can't imagine there's two separate egg on Sunday brunch stories. So it must be one and I would have known it so you have to do the cooking segment, right? Yeah. So as you know, I'm vegetarian, I brought up vegetarian. Yeah. I never liked eggs or eating eggs, right? So that's just a separate thing, right? But it means that I'd got to the age of whatever
Starting point is 00:19:00 I was then, 30, and I'd never cracked an egg Rob. Oh no like Richard Blackwood with a line with it. Yeah it was like Richard Blackwood. And then they were like if you just crack you never cracked an egg. No because there was no need because I've never cooked eggs. So when would I've cracked an egg? So when would I've cracked an egg? But when you, when you're going to, yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah before having kids. Yeah. th. th. th. th. Yeah, th. th. th. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. th. the th. the the the th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I I I th. I th. I th. I the th. I th. I th. I th. I the. I the the. I the the the. I the the the. the thr. thr. thr. I the. I to to to to when you're gonna, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, before having kids, exactly. So, so they were like, if you could just crack that egg into that bowl, I was like, I didn't want to say I've never cracked an egg, I couldn't say it. You should have. I should have, thinking back, it would have been much more entertaining. That's, I mean, be disruptive. What you should that, what, what, what, what, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th, th, th, so, 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. So, they were, they were, they were, they were like, they were, they were like, they were, they were like, they were like, they were like, they were like, they were like, they were like, thi, I had to crack the egg. So how did you do it?
Starting point is 00:19:45 Well I, I, I knew I see how to get you like a grenade. Yeah, well you must have seen someone cracking it. Yeah so I did do it but how? Just like on the side of the bowl. Yeah, it was a lot tough. I was too tentative Rob. Better the tough old egg shell. I just didn't want to go through it and go full. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. the the the the the the the to the to to to to to the the the to to bite. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I've. I've. I've. I've. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm t. t. t. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. t. to. I'm. I'm. I'm t. I'm t. I'm. I'm try. I'm t. I'm tentative Rob. They're tough old egg shells. I just didn't want to go through it and go full egg. So it took about six hits to crack my egg. You must look so weak. Yeah, I mean, because no one thinks someone's holding back. They just think that's as hard as you can do it. Like an old man. Do you know what no one's thinking at home? I bet he's never cracked an egg before. No one's thinking that's what's going on that. He's quite weak, isn't he, Josh? You can barely get any momentum up to crack that egg. Poor sod. Anyway, that was the last night.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yeah. But you've got no, no, no parent and stuff. Is it how's it going to harvest festival? Oh, what, what, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, the, the, the, the, 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. th. th. tha? tha? tho. tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? the. tha? the nursery? Uh, the... Or was it PR gig? Hi guys, I'm here, just want to sell the book and marches, boss. I'll say it's your daughter's harvest festival. It's the, it's the sister school of the nursery they're holding a harvest festival. Because I've got basically most of the weekend free, Rob. Lovely. I cannot... it sounds like on Sunday it's my, actually I'm doing Bromley Sunday night so but on Sunday afternoon I'm
Starting point is 00:21:11 free. You're such a weekend's free you're doing Sunday, you're doing Friday night or the one show on Sunday night and you're doing a tour show Sunday night and that's a free weekend is it? Jesus Christ what is it coming to? Doing the terms and conditions on strictly Saturday night but apart from that free as a bird if you want to hook up. I do think P.R's overrated sometimes. I think people, there's no way. I think you should have told me this 48 hours ago Robb. I don't think you convince anyone to watch. their their tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi is tho. tho tho tho tho tho thoes tho. tho is thi is a thi is a thi is a thi is a thi is a thi is a thi is a tho is a tho is a tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi is thi is a thi is a thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tho. th but I think you remind them.

Starting point is 00:21:47 oh, that sounds interesting, what's so celebs? Learn a different dance. And then they sort of, so who they dance on? They dance on their own. Oh, with, actually. Do, do email him with the most pointless thing you've ever seen someone promoting, PR-wise. Anything that needs less PR than strictly. Well, I saw Richard Osmond on this morning with his new book, you know, he's written. His novel has become one of the biggest selling books ever behind Harry Potter and Dan
Starting point is 00:22:18 Brown Da Vinci-Dov. And he's on, have a lie in, mate, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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. to, I, I, to, I, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. surely you don't, come on. This morning Richard. You don't need to do it Richard. Also you didn't even need to write a book you're wading already. The geese has minted. Have an afternoon off, let's someone else earn it. Come on, comman. Osmo, you've got a couple of kids, we'll get him on him. Um, how have you been, Rob? Do you know what? It's been a better week, a much better week after the car crash of last week, and I think it wasn't going... Oh, that's the show. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but we can't.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Because that was a very popular episode, Rob. I know the effort in. this podcast. What does it smell like? It smells like a man with B.O. And I can't get rid of it. I tell you what I smell like. I tell you what I smell like. I don't know what I was asking that question. I smell like if you ever had one of those t-shirts in, you'll have a thick denim jeans on, a jacket and t-shirt, whatever the weather. I'm not turning up to Capital Extra in a pair of shorts, thank you very much, Rob. I've done club gigs on weekends in heat waves in Espadrills and shorts and t-shirts. Unbelievable. It's on brand, Rob.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's on brand. I'm just going to take my jumper off. Of course he's got a jumper on, you know, 25 degrees in London. Pop a jumper on the sea lures. Absolutely, one of the stupid things I've ever done wearing that jumper this morning. I'm wearing sports yet. No, no, my week week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the week's the the the the thak's the thinks the thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks is thinks is thinks is thinks is thinks thinks thinks. thi's thinks thinks. thiatskoomkets. thi. thi. thi. thi.

Even now the podcast was popular, but there would be a very short-lived podcast because we can't, we can't keep that up.
Starting point is 00:24:16 No. But I actually think by episode six, we'd be like, these two are actually quite annoying as well. Yeah, it's too, but you know like when someone that adds a tick-to-toc that goes viral and then they're under pressure to repeat the same TikTok every day. Exactly. But no it's been much better out the kids now. I'm sorry to interrupt. Yeah. Taking off the jump was a huge mistake. The smell is now unbearably it's been released. It's vile. It's th Yes, I'm showering Rob, but my smell is sweat smells different to normal. I know but then. Anton Dubec is going to absolutely turn his nose up at me later on today. Oh my god, you're your mate, you're a tired smelly man, but you know good on you, you're working hard. So you've had a much better week. Much better week. they've been in their school, they're, they're, their, they're, their, they're, their, they're, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to be to be to be to be to be to, to be to, to be, to, to be to be to be, to be th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, that, their, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi. thi. S and preschool, and the thing is before they were tired and it was coming out negatively now, they're coming in, because they're tired,
Starting point is 00:25:09 they're sort of calming down a little bit, so they're sleeping a bit better, like they're sleeping in a little bit longer, going to bed a little bit easier and stuff, and also as well it's been a big week of pants, Josh. You've got new pants? for bedtime. Oh talk to me. Talk to me. Tell you for it right so I've been picture. Tell me a picture of pants, Rob. All right, I haven't got, I can't at the moment, they're in the bedroom. But I will do, but I went into Marks and Spencer. Because I've not been working that much this week, so I've been dropping the kids, I've been their kids, I've been a ta. And it's. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. tap. tap. t. t. t. tttha. their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm a their. I'm not. I'm a t. I can't. I can't.

And not to make you feel bad, but it does help there. But my daughter's been very unsettled this week as well. Really? As she missed you? I think it's that, I think it's, well let's, we'll come to it, we'll come to it on Friday. Okay, we're talking on Friday, took on Friday, the Friday, took took took took took the Friday. So basically I want him to Sparks found double XL, cotton. That's massive.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's way too big for me. I'm, you know, my waist isn't that big at all. So but I want it loose. I don't want it tight. So I've got not cotton, not like the big, dad ruffled top ones. Elasticated waist, but like a jersey cotton. What do you mean the jersey, jersey cotton that's a bit like, you know, some cotton pants and big billowy dad boxes.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Love them, that's what I wear. Oh, I hate them. Love them. You gotta have breathing room, Rob. Basically, dad's in the UK in the 80s or like sort of American prisoners wear them. That's the only two people that wears those pants. I hate them, they always rip them, you know, I prefer it when it's a bit tight to the skin. Do you? Yes, but not a bit of support. Yes, not sleepy time though. So what I did is I got those ones that stick stick to your skin and got elasticated waist, but I got like double XL. Ah, you got them that so they're too big but the type you like, but way too big. And it's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. the, the, the, the, th. the, th. the, they. the, they. they. the the the the the the the the they. they. the the the they. they. they, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, they. they. the, not, not, not, the, the, the, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they, not, not, not, not, they. they. they. th. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the, they. they. the, the, the, the, the, too big and it's just been a you know what Josh has been an absolute revelation. Has it? It's worked perfectly top half?
Starting point is 00:27:07 Nothing. Nothing. I've just got the pants on nothing on top and then sort of a gimp chokehold thing that Lou likes me to wear that just sort of gag rubber ball. Yeah of course. Yeah but and then some just just to show you up to you know vulnerable yeah sometimes we'll just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just to to to to to to the to the to the to the the the to the to the the to to to to to to to to to to just. It's just the the the to just. I'll just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. It's just. I they. I they. I they. I they. I they. I I they. I they. I they. I they. I they. I they. I they. I the they. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tap. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just have sex. You just like to look at me, you know, vulnerable. And that's enough for her. And she will also go to sleep. But also I did splash out, because they were like fairly normal price. And then got a pair of like autograph,
Starting point is 00:27:34 monograph, silk, autograph, silk, like pajama shorts. They're so soft, but a little bit too thick to sleeping. So now they're just my downstairs making eggs, shorts, and then I wear the pants in bed. And my ass is hidden away from my children. And are your children pleased that they haven't seen your penis or a thrown? Well, now they're going, you need to wear a vest as well. I'm like, no, they keep adding to you bringing up? I know just just laying there just my eyes out like that going I'm not covered enough now kids. Do you know what I'm I mean he's talked about on in stand-ups so I'm sure this is a fair game to mention I do you know what
Starting point is 00:28:15 Matthew Crosby wears to bed? What he wears nothing on the bottom and a t-shirt like like Winnie the poo? I think think you need to see a psychologist. That's so weird. It's such a weird look, isn't it? Does his top half get cold out of the cover? Top half gets hot cold out of the duvee. Yeah. But it's a it's a disgusting image of a thou-thought of a man in just a t-shirt. Not a big t-shirt, not a long t-shirt. No, just skimming across the top of pubs and then naked but I think that's worse than just socks. Yeah I think that is worse than just socks. I think that's the worst than you could, if you can wear one item clothing just the t-shirt is the just thee-sk-it is the in. The weirdest thing you've ever seen someone wearing to bed. That is, yeah, that is. Before we do a couple of emails, one weird fit, what,
Starting point is 00:29:10 not weird thing, good thing. I cannot remember if I mention this, I can't remember if I mention this, I apologize if we have, or Michael can delete it. But a good idea when you've got a new baby, can we come around for a couple of tea? That's, tip. That, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, a tip, a to, a to, a to, a to, a to, a to be, a to be, a to be, a to be, a to be, a to be, that, that, that, that, that, tooom. That, to bea, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, or something something something something something something.

A is you know constantly people have come around the house to and they keep text you when can we see the baby can we come around for a cup of tea blah blah blah blah blah and it's a nightmare because you never have any rest you're just constant it's not been on a Josh would a compiator there's constantly someone at your door. What's been Jacobs and Joc are you after the summer? Okay. Anyway, so what you do is, you obviously have your mom and dad and close family and friends over, but when it's all just like aunts and uncles and stuff, you do a thing like in the after about a month called a sip and see and see the tie part and you can host it at your house or a friend's house
Starting point is 00:29:57 or in like a pub function room where you take the baby and the the the the the the the the and they sip the drinks and see the baby and they do it all in one go so you're not constantly having guests over and making cups of sea. Oh that's nice. That's a great idea. Brilliant idea. Because normally when I hear something from America I think shut up. Yeah, because you know what the name of it is instantly off-putting. Sip and see? Sip and and C also sounds like some sort of legal insurance claim. Oh, you need to have some sip and see cover. Oh no, what's the problem? But yeah, sip and see that is, I think that's a good idea, Rob.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Thanks. Should I talk about my daughter being unsettled? Is that the fun it. I think that's what people are here for. But we'll talk about that now and then what we're going to do on Friday is because we're a bit too busy not getting through all your emails and we rabbit it on last week. We're going to do a correspondent special on Friday. So let's hear about your unsettled child. Then after this week we weigh our strongest string of guests lined up you've their th a real good run of guests. It is a real good run. Let's put it this way. Christmas is coming.
Starting point is 00:31:08 People want to promote stuff. And we are filling our boots. We're interviewing Josh Riddick about his new book. He's going to play both roles in the ultimate be our bush. All I'm saying is Anton Dubecke will be telling us about Saturday nights coming up for the next 12 weeks. Yeah, so what's happened with your daughter this week being unsettled? So she's, she is unsettled Rob. I would describe it as a shit storm of circumstances she's been hit with, which is I've basically been away, Paralympics and doing the, uh,
Starting point is 00:31:38 doing the King of the Jungle Tour and then... You've just won X-Factor. let's line him up with the PR. You know, it's my goal isn't going to sell itself, is it? Steve Brookstein, Matt Cardell, Josh Willacom. I'm doing a few signings in some Arndale centers. The Shelmanmanus, the big dogs on the promotion train. Honestly, my week, it's like that week when Victoria Beckham and Sophie Ellis Bexter went a head to head in the promo trail. Who are you up against?
Starting point is 00:32:07 Who's your promo? Oh, there's people that are blow, are unbeatable in my week, sadly. Oh, really? Oh, Bob Mortimer. Yeah. And Margalise, Mirro Marguelies is a big deal in the publishing industry. Oh, is she she she she she she, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 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, 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, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, th. Oh, oh, Yeah. Do you know what Rob though? And I'm doing very well, very well in the old audio books because all of my fans can't be bothered to read. I can't say that's good for me then. Yeah exactly mate. That's a margillies fans all reading the books.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I'm blowing around in the fucking water on the auto books mate. Well mine comes out we're like, do you reckon he cried at this bit? It feels like they've re-edited it. There's an edit pulls there while they sniveling wreck pulls himself together. Yeah, so you've been away on the promo trail. By the way as well, I should say, this isn't just you've been a madman. You do have contractual obligations to feel when when when when when when when when the obligations obligations to feel when when the obligations obligations to feel the obligations to feel the way as well, I should say, this isn't just you being a madman. You do have contractual obligations to fill when you have a book out, to do so many. I would say, Rob, I've exceeded my contractual obligations. I'm actually asking you to stop.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Josh, can you just stop talking about the book from it? If these were my contractual obligations, I would be sacking my agent if I'd signed that contract. You're like a member of five or Westlife just been sent out to work. The worst thing, Rob, is I'm doing all of this through choice. I didn't even know, Rob, that I had contractual obligations to pee up. Oh, you just took it upon yourself. I just took it upon myself. I got them to organize it. But I was like, yeah, I'll do whatever you give me and they call my bluff. Genuinely and I don't I'm not just saying this because it's not a brag. Flo said who's my agent she said I've never in my life known someone to do as much PR for my book in the history of the agency. Why are you doing it?
Starting point is 00:34:07 Because I didn't think that they'd fill it up in the world. Because I wanted to sell the book. Yeah, Bob's so as well. You get paid in advance of the book. No, it's not real. It's like I've... That's what I'm saying that. You want to sell more because you get paid more.
Starting point is 00:34:20 You just want people to read about it. The worst thing Robi Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob Rob th. Rob th. Rob th. Rob th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. the. the. the. thooooo. the the the. the thoooooooo. Because I tho. Because I to tho. Because I tho. Because I read about. The worst thing Rob is I'm doing this is not from financial reasons for pure ego. I mean I mean obviously I have a pure ego element driving this of Josh talks about your book. Because you say you're really into, you say it's like on Instagram like, oh publication day and all that, all the book words and stuff like that. You know why? I texted Ali Taylor, who I think is the queen of Instagram. And I said, I'm really, Kylie Jen I might have something to say to her about that. Yeah. Ellie's great on it. 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's, thi's, you're the thi.

K. I'm a. I'm a really. I'm a. I'm moving a very different world to a lot of people. Ellie's great on it, all I'm saying is, well, what I mean is, she's very good at Instagram. She's very, she's aware of how it all works and she's very good at it.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And I said, what should I do about this? Because I'm very uncomfortable with all this? And she said, this is not the time to be shy. Yeah, you've really t them here back. It's almost like, you know, you know that when someone goes like, you can't be bullied at school and then they like turn out of a machete and everyone's like, all right, calm down, mate. I don't, you know, just start eating back, that's what I meant. He's told up, come on. To attack dogs, let's go. to their tuck's between the person I was two weeks ago and the person I am now, but I'm yet to find it. Life is about finding these different gaps and I think good on you though
Starting point is 00:35:49 to do it because it is a great book and you should be proud of it so let as many people know as as long as it doesn't overwhelm you. What's what's happening with your daughter? She's just not because she's not just that hurt so she was in settle. It's not just that her, so she was in the top year at nursery, even because she was born in October, but they kind of moved her up as well because she was kind of all her mates would just, all of her mates except two have left to go to school. So she was born in October. No because September's the, she's three and a half, she turns four in October. Oh, so she's just, yeah, because she's about the same, I keep thinking she's more close to my second.
Starting point is 00:36:29 No, she's gonna be the oldest in her year when she goes to school next year. Yeah, one of the oldest, yeah, I get you, yeah, of course. So then my daughter is born in December time. Yeah, so she's gonna be pretty old in the year, so, so, so, so, the year, so, the year, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's th. So, she's th. th. th. th. thin, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, th. their own school. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. So she got moved up to the top year with the kids that were born in like August and June and July, who are all her mates, but they've all gone to school. Oh, yeah, because it's done in like the, three that have been left in the top year and the other two and then all the younger kids have been moved up. Yeah and then her two mates that stayed have both gone on two week holidays.
