A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. Hello I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Willickham. Welcome to Parents in Hell, 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're 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.

Yeah, I've just got to go to last leg in a fucking bit as well. And I've got to go to have a wrist with from the last leg. That's not true. Let's save it. Should we just, I wonder, actually, I think we should just start the show with the I think we should have started it with to do the normal intro. This is it. This is the show now. Oh, I was going to say, because we've not done loads of... We have been talking about parenting and stuff, but we've been talking about work quite a lot. Because as a comedian, I'd say September through to November time is the busiest period of the year.

Yeah, like Santa's Elves, mate. I'm just fucking all I do is work in the autumn. But it's... Do we want to do the little intro or not? We'll come back to it when I've vented. Okay, Josh, how's your week been? It's all right, Rob. It's been all right. What's happened? How's babies? How's children? You'll know that I had 11 minutes to myself on Wednesday?

Olympics getting banned. Carl Lewis. Yep. I watched 11 minutes of that documentary. How was it? Was that all right? Carl Lewis is a piece of work. I'll tell you that for free. He's got that mentality. A bit like Michael Jordan in that in the last dance, that kind of the sociopath ath mentality. Yeah, sociopath alpha. Yeah, sociopath alpha. Okay, fair enough. Like Romash. Anyway, should we start the episode? Romash, Romage is the least alpha person I've ever met. He's so chill. Imagine if he's a drug cheat? Imagine if he was just... Is this how he's so good? How he does 16 TV shows because he's on-draised bootsting. We need to start tested him. There's no way he can't keep thaa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-s their-s their-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-a-a-s, the-s. th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s. tha-s. tha-s tha-s tha-s, tha-s. tha-s. tha-s. tha-s. tha-s. tha-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-s. Hea-s. testing him. There's no way he can keep that workload up and not lose his head. We're falling apart. We work at a quarter of his work rate. I'm gonna text him and say you do realize there's random testing on the weakest link and

they'll absolutely panic. So, yeah, I've got no parenting to report Rob. Actually, I've got little bits. Okay. Because you've been working a lot then too. How how. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So.

You can still get the odd one, which is always well received, but when I was gigging straight after the euros, it was bucket hat central, mate. Yeah, I bet it was. I bet it was a today. stopped us before. I was going to say it was like Spike Island, which, and then I thought Rob's not going to be. I know, Stone Rose's geek. I thought you'd call me a stiffneck for that kind of reference, Rob. No, that's not a stiffnet reference, that's a popular culture reference. That's quite cool, isn't dot, dot, for you. It's an absolute hammer blow.

Josh, you're watching documentaries about 80s drug cheats. That's cool, Rob. Is it? I know, you think it's cool because it's 80s, but it's the equivalent when we were growing up of people watching documentaries of like the 1930s. Anyway, so what's your parent in Cich? Death's that? Death's a big thing, Rob. Death? Yeah.

Oh, oh, God. They're all finding out about death at nursery. Oh, they find out about, oh my God, what they find? Well, there's lots of discussion of what death is. Not first and. There's not a terrible accident. There's not, no, it's all been fine. texted me and said, have you discussed death with your daughter yet? Oh God. And I said, no, I've not really discussed it, but it's big news with another of the girls

at nursery because I was spoken to her dad. Oh God, oh no. She said, yeah, we've had a lot of questions in the past few weeks. Today she asked me if we come alive again after we die. Because apparently, according to this text, apparently my daughter, as in me, my daughter, Josh's daughter, clarified to her daughter that you go to the North Pole with Father Christmas, lie in the snow, melt and then come back to life. I think, I don't think I'd want to do that. That would be really horrible and cold. Yeah, it does. I'd go somewhere to my heart. To be honest, It'd just be nice to have a light down for a bit, wouldn't it, George? Just a bit of me time. Do you know what I mean?

You've had 11 minutes this week? So are you still getting up at like 5.30 with the baby and then cracking on with your day? No, we've had a breakthrough. Oh, talks me about the breakthrough. We've had a bloody breakthrough. th. tha. tha. th. tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. to. to to to to to to to to to to to be. th. th. th. th. th. tha. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. toooooooooooooooooooo. It. too. It's too. s me about the breakthrough. We've had a bloody breakthrough. So when I was away doing a gig or something, it must have been a gig, I can't even remember why it was, it was like a week ago. I just, I don't even remember, like my agent texted me. Yeah.

And said, this is what my mind's like at the moment. She was like, oh, yeah, that interview you did you that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you that, that, that interview you did that interview you did that interview you did that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that interview, that interview, that interview, that interview, that interview, that interview, that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you that interview you did that interview you did you did you did you did that interview you did that interview you did you did that interview you did, that interview you did, that interview you did, that interview you did, that interview you did, that interview you did, that interview you did, that, that interview you did, that, that interview you did, that, that interview you did with the Times or the Telegraph or something, like, you know on those Q&A things that they do? Yeah. She was like, oh, I really enjoyed that. It was good. And I was like, I have no memory of doing this. I literally don't believe that I've done this.

I don't remember saying any of these things. When did you talk to them tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tho tho tho thu. When did you talk to them? Well, I don't know, but I think I must have been about two weeks ago. I found it really hard, balancing, driving and traveling all around the country to these gigs and still getting up in the morning with the kids and all that, I'm finding really tiring. And also, an extra level of stress. You could just, why have I missed the show or not get home? Oh Rob, what are you going to do? Get a train? Yeah, get a train. I was going to say. I'm going to get a train to get there and

then we're driving. The tour managers. If not though I can get to Halifax on my own from another train but just do the whole thing on the train I just didn't want to risk the missing the first one anyway sorry you're saying so you've had a break through what's your breakthrough? So he's still waking up at 5 a.m. On Oh, it's been going great to sales. Yeah, don't worry, they're the same as they were, minus, but we've had a breakthrough. No, no, no, no, but, because I was away, Rose just let him lie on the bed and fall back to sleep, and it took half an hour. So he just sort of left him and he went back to sleep and then he slept to late. I love experimental parenting. Sometimes you've

got to adapt, adapt or die. Exactly, Rob. She just freestyled that and it worked. I bet she was so happy. So he's got cushions to pen him in. Do you know what I mean? So he's on the bed from 5 to kind of 8, right? From 530 to 8. Oh, oh so she gets him out of the cot to feed him, because that's why he wakes up at five. Right, okay, yep. And then she puts him down, back in the cart. No, no, on the bed. On the bed. On the bed, with cushions around, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he goes to sleep. just slapped. All right, yeah, you would do that. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, it's a magical time, isn't it, Josh? Well, let's, right. It's a magical time, pop down. It's her loss if she wants to miss out on that beautiful time when the sun's coming up. Oh, that is a, that is a breakthrough. And in what time does your daughter get up? Uh, she's been getting up about 730. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's good. Not all good. Okay, what, go on. So I get back the next night. Okay. He's got my side of the bed from 5 a.m. Rob. I'm tufed out. Okay, so where'd you go? So I went and slept on the floor on a futon. I went and said to break throughs a full family affair. No. No. No. No. No. No. He's he's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's he's got. He's got. He's got.

He's got the the the the the th the the the the the th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. It's not all roses, no. I wouldn't say the breakthroughs of full

family affair. No, no. No. But Rose's like, oh you can sleep on this bed. There's not room for me. And I'm too panicked about like rolling over on. I'm just not got the mentality for it. Yeah, you haven't got the mentality. You're not a big game. You're not a big game. You're not a big game. But you're not a big, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're not a the the the th, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big game, you're not a big, you're not a big th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

You're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, you're not a big, youmock a baby. You're not a big game, but you did the Roy Keene there. Roy Keene would have slept silently in one place all night. Exactly, but I was like, I can't do this. So basically the breakthrough now is at 5 a.m. I go into a different room. Okay. It's a little things that help, isn't it? Exactly. that the things that help, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't thi. thi. thi, isn't, isn't, isn't thi. thi, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't. thi, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. the the the thin. the the the the the the the the the thin. the the the the theean. the the thean. th thean. th the. th the direction. What, what, separate rooms? It was inevitable at one day. It's quicker than I thought, but it was inevitable. You know what, I love

Lou and I love sharing a bed with Lou, but I think if it was socially acceptable and people didn't think your marriage is falling apart, your own bed does sound nice if you've got the space, doesn't it?

Everiswith, I'd say that's the hard, that one of the worst journeys in a comedian's career of driving.

Yeah. Because you have to, you basically drive to Liverpool from London for you, which takes what, a few hours. Oh, well, no, do you know what? We're going to drive, because it's 11 p.m. I'm going to drive to to to to to to to to to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to drive to to to to to to to drive to drive to to birm.

Okay that is still horrible isn't it though? So you're leaving 11 PM from London driving to Birmingham, crash it in a hotel and then you'll get it. Oh better no you'll like this Rob, get up, do an interview on Radio 4 about the fucking book. What time's at? 930 till 11 hour and a half. Fuck off! What they do?

It's a two carriage. And like, fucking Thomas the tank engine. It's one of those trains where nobody's actually going from Birmingham to Aberystwysteth. No, it's just, it's people get on for one or two stops. But you're on there for the long haul. Yeah. And it goes into a station and comes tha tha tha The whole thing. And there's like a, there's a buffet cart that will go down once in the three hours. More hours than carriages.

And it's like a commuter train that you're normally on for 15 minutes, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. It's like the bus I'd get with my daughter to nursery if I decided to get that to Bristol. decided to get that to Bristol. My little trick for Aberystwyth, train to crew takes about an hour, it doesn't take very long and then from crew you drive over. That's my little trick for North Wales if you ever go in there at midnight. Yeah, but I just, in a way I'm quite excited about the train on my own because that is three hours to myself. Add that to the 11 minutes. Yep. And what times you train? It's a half 12th.

Half 12, that's not too bad. Yeah, because it's three hours, get there at a three. Yeah, so you're not, you're getting a bit of a line though. You can wake up at 9.25th. Yeah. Yeah, on radio. I just say this in Bromley, Bromley Churchill, near my house, 17th of October on a Sunday where I get interviewed about the book for an hour and then I'm going to go in the foyer and sign all the books and say hello to everyone.

So if you want to come, parenting and help people, I'll be there on, it's only 15 quid so it's cheaper than it, because it's not a tour show, chat about the book and thaph.........

When we're away the other week, my husband and I were watching Cruella with our three-year-old, snug it up in bed having a lovely family moment. There's a bit of mild Disney peril and dead parent as per. That really made me laugh. Oh yeah, you can't shuffle through it about a dead parent, can you? At this point our daughter says says I don't mind if one of you dies because I'll still have a spare one. Oh wow good to hear she'll be fine thanks Jamie. Oh wow

brutal that is amazing because when I was a kid I was petrified with my parents dying yes I think that is a thing I was I was as well and a bit more so because my old dad was an older dad you know that's a thing because my dad's 76 and I'm only 35 so he was like 40 odd. Yeah we had me and it was a little bit in the back of my mind and he's still knocking about. Yeah exactly nothing to worry about nothing to bloody worry about. Don't it's just a classic anxiety. Worrying about stuff that's not happened. Right as you've been. Right. the week. the week. the week. the week. the week. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the classic. the classic. the classic. the classic. the classic. the classic. to. that's a classic. th.

Well, the week, very excitingly, I've booked tickets in half-turn to take the kids to see Mamma Mia. What, the Abba play?

Yeah, the musical theatre show. Oh, wow. They love Mamma Mia-Mia. Do they? And obsessed with Mamma Mia Mia? so I... Isn't it about a wedding in Greece? Yeah it is and not taking a three-year-old! I can't hear you. Where you gone? Sorry, I was just laughing away from the camera. The camera! The camera fucking out! God, I'm tired! The old camera! The old microphone camera! Yeah, I don't know what the...

but I'm a bit worried because they sing out loud. I think they'll enjoy it. If I was at Mamma Mia, yeah, and a three-year-old sat next to me, I'd be like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. No, but she's actually quite good that, because we told them you have to be quiet and they do shush-shush, you mustn't talk, but they're they're a little, but they're a little, but they're, but, but a little, but a little, th, th, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a little, and a tha, and a thr, and a tho, and a tho, and a tho, and a tho, and a throwne, and a thr. And, and a thr. And, and a tha, and a tha, and a tha, and a th. and a th, and a th, and a th, and a th, and a th, and a th, and a tha, and a tha, and a tha, and a thr, and a thr, and a thr, and a thr, and a throwne, and a throwne, and a thrownea, and a thrownea, and a thrownea, and a throooma, and a throwne, and a thrush, but then they're shushing is actually louder than anyone having a slight conversation. Is Mama Mere a bit of a party vibe? I've not been. Have you been already? I went once years ago, it's a bit like, mum's, girls, girls, girls, my mum will be like, get the girls together, point, mum, or the girl. But it says, we recommend Mama Mia for 5 plus

as an advisory to adults who might bring young people. Children under 3 will not be admitted. So she'll be, when we go, she'd just nearly be four. And I'll be fine. And she's been before, she went to line, she was all good. And it's a matinee, in half, and in, and in, and in you're an adult on your own go fuck yourself and go also what kind of lunatics go in half-term? Yeah exactly. Sorry I'm getting angry already. You're getting angry at a hypothetical weird bloke on his own at Mamma Mia. What you're doing here you nonce? Fuck off till next week. Oh Billy no mates turns up half term on his own.

Yeah like the story you fucking Pedo out, you mug. Mama Mia, here we go again. And who's in it? Are people in it? Or is it just like... Yeah, I think that it'd be a bit weird if they just, if it was just, you know, the Greek setting and just a CD played. I think there's humans doing it. But there's no, there's no stars that...

No, it's like always like Denise Van Outton or someone. Kate Lawler or someone won't it yeah? Yeah that's such a good trout! Melanie Sykes! But yeah so we're doing it but I'm very excited about the kids are absolutely ecstatic. That'll be fun. Are you thinking about going to frozen? It's six plus. Oh, I don't know what to do about it. I think maybe we might wait for if it's six plus I might wait for wait for a bit then. Yeah, it'll be there forever won't I think they're all right. It's just as as long as you tell them to be good as long as they're well behaved you know like and just say you got be because if they sit there quietly and if you buy an the younger one sort of follows their lead slightly I found anyway but I'd wait proper probably till they're a bit older. Four months is a bit young isn't it? Yeah yeah exactly yeah if there's a little wake up he's

not gonna get much out of it. We went to me and Rose went to Matilda before we had kids. Yeah that's a good one tho that that's that's that's that's that's th. that's that's th. th. that's th. thus that's thus thus that's thus thi and thi and that's thi and thi and thro thro to me me me and to me me and their their their to me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me and me to me to me to me me me me to me to me me to me to me me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me they. they. they. they. they. they. they. I I I I I they. I they. I 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 they and they and they and they. I they. I their their they. I th. Yeah that's a good one. Yeah it was good but it was quite weird because it was all parents except us. Yeah that's fine you on your own no. Yeah no no of course. No I think you're allowed that I'm not saying you can't go and watch a theatre show on your own I've seen loads of shows on my own I've seen went into New York on my own I went to the, Lou goes to Hamlet and her own. There's nothing wrong with going on your own. However, if you do go on your own and you tell children to shut up in half-term on the matinee, you've got serious problems. Just go Tuesday evening next week, come on the o'er-mahe, theat, the the football on your own? That's actually quite pleasant as well, Rob. Is it? I don't know because then other people might want to talk to me. Where like at the theater no one talks, do they?

No. I hate a new friend. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you're on the plane with you. And they're not interested in that. Oh, Yeah, I don't th. Come, come. Come, come. Come. the they. they. to. to. to. the to. to. th. th. th. th. th. I'm not. th.

Do you know what, I don't mind just texting on my own in the breaks, Rob. A bit of fucking phone. Yes, please. Headphones in, but a podcast halfway through. Pop on Ellis and as well, Josh, is emails from the school. The emails we get, I tell I get about five a day and they all say important at the top. There's no way they're all important. No offense to the, you know, the Christmas or the Harvest Festival thing where we've

got to bring a tin or something. I don't think that's important three weeks out. No. I've got, I mean, I think that, I don't think the level of importance of, oh, there's a Christmas party happening, you might want to bring something in a two months. You're like, mate. Let me get through Halloween. Oh, Halloween. thrown. having a party that the kids are going to in the day because we might be doing something in the day might we? Hey? Yeah. A little thing.

Yeah and you're like fucking write that off mate. Who's complaining about a lost sock? Have a word with yourself. Yeah. Just you just have to file it under idiot tax, that sucks gone. I'd say the rule should be if you're taking it to nursery, it's fair game. Do you know? Yeah, yeah. In your mind you've got to write off everything that goes to nursery. I'm happy to get my own child back. Yeah, if they're naked or in

Yeah, so the emails, I don't know if anyone else is getting that, but it's still my head in and I can't keep up. just like... No, not all of them. Parents evening as well is on, he's fucking on Zoom again. Why? But apparently cases are rising in the school so they don't want to be too... I'm like, fuck off mate, you just want an early night. Parents evening on Zoom, what times parents' evening? You only get 10 minutes? That's not long enough I don't think. Do you? I've never been to a parents evening.

It's good, it's good news. There's going to be a new arrival in the Beckett family. No, yes why.

We're getting a dog. Oh, my fucking God. Do you think it was a baby? She's broken. No, do you know what, Rob? For a moment, my heart skipped a beat. And you just thought, oh, great content. And then I thought, he's not, he's not, he's not. And then my, I thought, if it's any smaller than a dog, this is, this is rubbish. Yeah, it's got to be edited out, it's not good enough. It's gotta be minimum dog.

It's gotta be minimum dog. We're getting the dog, Josh. I can't believe she's broken you. What did it take, four months? Look, I was quite keen for a dog. Do you know what, Rob? The person that's reluctant to the dog is always the one that ends up loving the dog the most. You're going to be a dog bore. I know I think I am going to be a dog. Do you want to see the dog? Have you got it already? I picture the dog. I picture the dog. So listen to my thinking, yeah. We always want to do it. We always

like, listen to my thin. It's really nice to have a dog in the family for the kids. And it's like a good to to to to to to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. th. th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. to, listen. to, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. to, listen, listen, listen. to, listen, listen. to, listen. to, listen. to, like, like, like, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, listen, to, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, I'm not busy, or when we've moved, or whatever, and I thought there's always going to be a reason why you put it off. And but, and then by chance, or literally by chance, my, one of my mates, he's got loads of dogs and he's, he's got about three or four dogs and he had a whip it and then they think they rescued another whip't and they ended up calling the rescue whip it the boy one chance because it got the Winnie the girl the mom one pregnant by it so it was a bit of an accident so it was a bit of an accident so they're not like puppy breed is or anything like that so it's a bit of an accident and they've got these eight puppies and they're so cute oh here we go he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he 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 the they the the the they they th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th the the the the the toy toy the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the corner. You just sent me 15 photos of it, Rob. I know, but I just forwarded it on from Lou. Oh my God, look at that tiny little bastard.

Oh my God. He's cute, isn't it? He's too much, isn't he? So he's like, look, look, loo'lue loves it so much. And how big's he's going to get. but they're really, they're quite big but really skinny. I'll send you a photo of the mum, so you know what they look like when they're finished. The mom and dad around the corner, and like the dog, so she'll, like, you get to see both parents,

which is quite important with a dog, to see the parents of the dog. And then it's my mate, and he was like, It'll be quite nice for the mom to have the dog together and they love dogs and they can help us and give us advice and teach us do it. And actually Whippets are really good, like really easy sort of first dogs because they're quite, they don't need much walking, there's like one walk in the morning. Oh lovely. And that's the mom.

Just like, welcome to your new home! Whom! Phue cat threw will up his ass. Yeah, so that's the news in our family.

We're getting a dog. So I've now, I've got a dog. I'm still a bit surprised. Oh my word, I mean, I'd say saying the sentence six times in a row is a strange sign. And I keep going, yeah, it doesn't need much walking because actually you just walk them for 45 minutes in the morning and they're fast, they're very fast, 35 miles an hour, but they don't have much stamina, so they will be tired and stuff. So I think they're a good Michael's emails because the one thing I've realized about people with dogs, people love talking about their dogs.

Yes. But yeah, so we're getting a dog Josh, but I'm sure that might bring its own problems for me to discuss on it. Because I'm being a parent, it is parenting still, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, I'd be slightly annoyed if for the like Blue Peter. We talk about kids, we've got a resident dog. Getting an elephant. But yeah, so we're very excited about the old whip it. That's good, Rob. I'm excited and it's good content. Do you want the name of the dog?

Are you going to give the real name or you worried about its identity? It's identity going to be a the the the the the their... worried it'll hate you and it grows up. Well, I do, I need to think about that because I might just give out the girls' names, but I don't know if I should. Anyway, I mean, Lou need to talk about that as they get older. The dog is called, the full name is Freddy. Yeah, glitter sparkle, glitter rock, Twinkle Star Beckett. Oh wow so your daughters didn't get a say in it. Yeah they chose Freddy. They're a huge fan of Lungberg. Yeah exactly they just love the invincible. But

yeah Fred I think Fred's quite good when you're sort of telling it just do not do something one syllable thing. I like a dog with a person with a person with a proper name. Yeah Freddy's little Freddy the dog and we'll stick those pictures up on Instagram so you can have a little look look and stuff and stuff and stuff. the th. the the the th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Rov. to this podcast I'm a little late to this podcast and have only just listened to the grey trunk episode with Rob's daughter. I cried with laughter at this.

It reminded me of when my daughter was two years old. Whenever we sat down to watch, I would to watch, I sat down to watch, I would to watch, I'd try to to watch. I'd try to to the little handfoe to toto her to ask what she would like to watch. When my little blonde-haired angel who could barely annunciate most words replied, Cockporn, mummy, I looked at her with utter shock and dismay. And she repeated, Cockporn, please, mummy. To say I was relieved when I was actually asking me for popcorn could legitimately be the biggest understatement ever known. Oh, we found out when I showed her some cockpawn and she was like, not this, she was actually,

she was very displeased. Why you show me this? This is disgusting. Cockpaule, it feels like, you know, like a teenager discovering, and I'm not really sure how to search for gay porn. I'm not really sure how to search for gay porn. What I'm this one, actually, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, I'm just like, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, I was like, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, I was th really, I was th really, th really, th really, th really, th really th really th really th really th really th really 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, that, that, that, that, that, this, but I'm trying to explore how I feel. Cockborn? What are you? What's your Instagram, Robert? Well this one, and you'll be a fan of this, we asked for people to spot spelling mistakes

in your book. Oh, yeah, fine. Spotted the first spelling error, page 18, page 18. Page 18. the first spelling the spelling. I've got, I've actually got one. I think at page 18. Page 18, is it where it says in in? Oh, do you know it already? Someone sent me one where it says in, in, in. Page 18 of Josh's book. Do I get free tickets to his tour now?

Right, should we do small business shout out? Yeah. It's never going to beat Jimmy Chippalata. That was genuinely. Well I might need to tap him up for a coat because he, with whippets, they get cold, they actually, they actually need a coat. You're not being a wanker. No exactly. And they don't smell, they don't smell that much because they've got short fur. Just convince yourself. Great PR for Jimmy Chippelata to do you a special one-off coat, isn't it? Oh, well, yeah. I mean, the fucking, are they owe us some money? The amount of people that shout Jimmy Chippelata at me.
