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.

And you look back, and there's loads of people that have joined since you did, and it makes you feel so much better.

All the people that have got COVID in the last four days has really given me a spring in my step as I walk around my house. So are you now looking at case numbers positively? Yes, another 90,000 fuckers locked in. Yeah, come on. All I'm saying, Rob, is when I got COVID, it took me a day or two to come to terms of the fact that perhaps it was good news because I was one of the few people in the country that was definitely not going to be locked in for Christmas. Yes, so when's your release day? I am out for Christmas.

I am out for Christmas. So you can go, you can have your normal Christmas Christmas Day? We will be having, well at the time of recording Rob. Oh yeah, we don't know what the rules might be, guys.

So you're not allowed If say like you're in a flat on your own right and you've got COVID and like your mate's got COVID in another flat around the corner, can you allow to just have a COVID Christmas? I don't think so Rob. But why not? Everyone's already infected? I know, well that's the thing isn't it? Can you meet up for a big COVID? I'm sure that. thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that, that's that's 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the their their their their that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that that th variant.

Merry Christmas, what and all! So, let me take you back to last weekend, when everything felt fine in my life. So, like, you, talk us through it. So last weekend, everything felt fine.

Went to watch Stickman on Saturday morning. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Lovely. Did you take the kids or just solo? Yeah no just solo because I didn't you know I didn't want them to go to a super spreader event. Of course. The afternoon we met up with three of my daughter's friends and their parents and we went for a walk and then we had lunch right. Yeah and then Sunday did last leg a New Year special. Oh lovely! Well, th. Well, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi' thi thi thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thin, I thin, I thin, thin, thin, thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, th right? Yeah. And then Sunday did last lag a New Year special. Oh, love it. Well, but it wasn't the New Year Year. No, Rob, but let's be honest, everyone's going to realize that was pre-recorded when

they see the audience and everyone on New Year's Eve. Let's be honest, it's going to look fucking mental when that goes out on New Year's Eve. What about Brooker? Brooke is clean as a fucking whistle, maybe it's the no leg. Exactly, maybe it's passed by the toes. Look, I'm doing my own research here and there's a big correlation to people with one leg and not having COVID. Exactly. Do you know what I'm saying? If it's there conspiracy on unruvelling here. Yeah, all right.

If there's any people out there that's got one leg and got COVID, let me know. Let me know so I can draw a line through this. Okay. But if you've got one leg and you're listening and you haven't had COVID, the have to the case. Yeah, because I don't know what, I'd take the COVID. I'd chop my own leg off to get rid of COVID. All right then, off you go. Here's your chance. Enjoy your Christmas. By the way, Rob, bear in mind, and I'm not sure if you're wearing this.

Just remember what you said to Truck and Trace, when you're saying all all this out loud. Sadly, they're saying. The good thing about Chuck and Trace, mate, it was just an online filling form. They don't give a shit anymore. They've sat to all texing me. Have they? Oh, they won't stop texting me to stay in the house. I'm in the fucking house. I'm tel you something that's good, Rob. And I'm tell D.H.L. I bought Christmas present earlier it said, do you

want to pay extra for a one hour delivery slot? No, I'll take the full day. He couldn't give a shit, mate. Then it turns up at 9 a time, oh look at the window all day for that. Oh mate, I haven't missed a delivery all week. Have it loads of football, we've been watching the football? Not really, no. Oh right, okay. Why not?

Why not? Why not? Yeah, the Liverpool game is on during bedtime, uh, yeah, sort of four-thirties. Yeah, sort of four-th just written it off bed time. They sort of put themselves to bed. They're having sleepovers in the eldest one's room, so I've dragged the mattress in so they could have a mattress, eat to sleep on the mattress on the floor together. It's really cute, but it's just, it's all off.

They're basically squatters now, aren't they? swampy up there, we need a new I need a new squatter reference other than fucking swampy which is from like what 97 yeah if anything Rob it's the exact reference I like so keep going okay if anyone's got a great a tumburg or what what's your other famous squatter I think swampe's fine I think swampe's fine I do you remember when he went on have I got used for you in the 90s absolutely incredible was. Was he good on it? Was he on it or did you just was he just squatting? Yeah yeah they didn't want him on he just tunneled in. I think that's what Ian Hitslop and Paul Merton have done. He tunneled up next to Paul Merton. It's been there 35 years. Anyway anyway. So yeah on the the the the the the the the the the the the top top top top top to the to to to to to th. S so. S so. S so.

Incredible monologue from you. Sorry, no, so what have you done? So, the leaving the room. Resett will leave the room. Between 430 and 6 a.m. which is the desired time of him getting up. It was a long hour and a half.

I was going in every minute. So that's 90 visits. One point I decided to make myself a cup of tea but I didn't have time to do the full tea-making process so I was doing a little bit of the tea-making process between each visit.. so. so. so. so. so. so. So. So. So, how. So, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how the the the the the the to to to to the their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. thi. thi-s, thi-s, thi-s, their-s, their-s, their-s. their-s. their-s. the-s. thease-s. theaseaseaseaselougheaseaselougheaseli-s. theaseaseaseli-s. their-s. the full tea-making process. So I was doing a little bit of the tea-making process between each visit. So how does it work? Go in, resettle him, go out, put the kettle on, go in, resettle him, go out, put the tea bag in the cup. Go in, resettle him, come back out, back, back. Go in the milk out of the fridge. There's a lot stairs in your house you've got an old house it must be like it's all up in it your house.

He used to do gigs on the circuit wearing them running shoes that are like little turtle feet. What a reference that is. What a reference. He won't be listening. I can tell you that. So how do you resettle in a minute? Who thought Swampy would be the broader reference?

Rub the belly, shh, you know, calm down, possibly put it. It's lovely humor. People really enjoy that. Josh just walks in, rubs his belly leaves.

Oh, that is relatable. That is neither sexy nor funny, but it's relatable. Because I've got a belly and I sometimes rub it. I love these guys. So you've got rub the belly, shush shush shush and then pick him up if needs be rock then put back leave when he's so you're not like leaving him to cry out or anything you're just anyway did that until 6 a.m. and then get him up that was last night not last night the night before this morning he woke up at

quarter past six I couldn't fucking believe it. So one one go of that and now... He woke up a quarter bar six for the first time in his life. It's absolutely mental. I couldn't believe it happened. From such extreme 90 seconds like not one minute in and out in and out to just like a full sleep to six thirty. I couldn't I couldn't believe it had happened. So that's happened once since the sleep training. Yeah I mean it might go wrong. No no no I'm not true. I'm not saying thinking it's not going to go fucking wrong tomorrow morning. Don't get me wrong on that. Yeah I'm not my first rodeo my friend I'm not thinking that's that sort of... You're not in celebratory mood is sort of quiet optimism.

Yeah, it's gone to VAR and you think it's probably off-site. That kind of feeling. Yeah, okay, fair to look at the the baby into what time it wakes up. I've had a look at the facts and I think I'm going to get up at 430 again, okay. But I could, yeah, so we did that. That was a strange turn of events. God knows whether it will work in the long term, but it was, this morning, it was surreal. Do you know what, the day is a lot shorter than it felt before? Yeah, but you're still getting up though, watching Schumacher documentaries, aren't you? Of course, because it's a lovely time of day.

Ah, you just sleep until six, I'm probably, I. Ha ha! Well, you just sleep until 6th, so what you... I probably won't tomorrow, but this morning I didn't set my alarm because I presumed he'd get up, so that was the error of judgment. So tomorrow I set my alarm. So you'll be set your up tomorrow for a lovely 430 dock. Of course I will. Yeah, that's good though.

And that's good though. got the vid or is it just you? Well so Tuesday evening just get a call from nursery my daughter's got a temperature. Uh oh got a get a PCard to allow her to go back into the nursery but they're like don't worry there's a cold going around everyone's getting PCR at the moment and they're all fine.

I'm like, she's got the Christmas party on the Thursday. Shall we pay for a really quick PCR? Just, because we just want to get it back into nursery to really enjoy nursery. Yeah. In the end, we can't do that because you that's like people going on holiday or something so we get the NHS one the next morning 9 a.m. we're driving to Hackney Marshes just another fucking football bitch they're driving to Hackney Marshes to get the PCR about about 815 in the morning Rob before we set off text into the group of the parents we've all seen on Saturday oh no one other parents has got COVID oh oh oh set off, text into the group of the parents we've all seen on Saturday. Oh no.

One of the parents has got COVID. Uh oh. Stuff's falling into place. By the time we reached the PCR test, four of the parents have gone down with COVID. You're not, you're not being quite optimistic about the test? No, also, bear in mind, on the Tuesday, sorry, we both got our boosters, right? So on Tuesday night, you're so fucking boosted.

So on Tuesday night, you must have so much COVID in you. Well, on Tuesday night, I sweated like I've never sweated before in my life. And I've seen your sweat. Yeah, honestly, it was the bed was sodden. When I got up, Yeah, honestly, it was, the bed was sodden. And when I got up, I'm in swambee. I sleep in boxer shorts, Rob, and it's like I'd pissed myself. It was insane, which I put down to the booster, but I know it was insane. Which I'd put down to the booster, but I don't think it was.

God, this booster's a bit light. Apparently, I don't even really remember the throwel. We went to bed at about 9 p.m. that night. And I was just, as I was going to sleep, I was just saying to Rose, I'm in trouble here. I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble.

So, she? She's a good swim. She's a good swim. Then when we get to the PCR place, by that point we think it might be wise not to just get one for my daughter. Luckily they let us both have them while we're there, which was very nice to them. Yeah, that's good. And the baby don't need to do baby, do you? Uh, no. Well, we did him with a lateral flow. Oh, okay. Yeah. Um, it's, oh my god. Doing the PCR on my daughter was absolutely. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. th. Yeah. th. Yeah. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's that's that's that's th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. 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. Oh, that. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. Oh, th. screaming next to her, me trying to, just awful, awful, awful, awful, just her screaming. Like, just like torture just holding her down, holding her arms down. They don't get it. They don't get it.

No. So we had to do one on my daughter and we did it, the lateral flow and it came back negative, but we had to do a PCR because someone in her class had it so we took her to do the PCR and like that they let her do it to herself no that doesn't seem yeah but not I don't know it didn't feel like a nurse have done it no but like the nurse was there and she seemed happy with it so what I'm not I can't bowl in and go excuse me love but I think I'm gonna i to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the they I'm gonna they I'm gonna they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're do do do do do do do do do do they'd they're do do do do they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they're they the nurse was there and she seemed happy with it. So I'm not, I can't bowl in and go, excuse me love. But I think I'm gonna have to take charge it. Yeah, you are a qualified nurse, but I've decided that's not a good enough examination. Shut up her fucking nose, mate.

Get back and tickle the brain. Come on. Don't run a tight was awful. And Rose did she do herself or did you do Rose as well? Yeah, held down Rose. So then we, Wednesday and Thursday lunchtime, I come back, positive. And then they were all staggered as well. It was like, it was awful. It was like, by about an hour or two. And then my daughter comes back, positive. Oh no. And then Rose comes back, fucking negative. The iron lady. It was like, it. It was like, it was like. It was. It was like. It was like. It was like. It was like. It was like. It was like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, 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. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that, that, that, that, that, the. the, the. th. the, the, the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th or two. And then my daughter comes back, positive. Oh no. And then Rose comes back, fucking negative. The iron lady. Unbelievable.

Really? Yeah. Fucking strong. That is, postpartum power hormones, that is. Yeah. And we've been doing the lateral flows since, and she's been fine. Well, she might have had it asymptomaticly before but then you think I think it was her Rob I'm blaming her you think she gave it to you guys and hers has cleared up. Yes, that's what I think happened

Because there are there are people there are parents from that group who've not had any symptoms that've got it really? Really? Yeah, so she could have easily had it asymptomatic last week without realizing. Oh God knows where do you even start? But at th? 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. thi? thi? thi? thi? th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

But at least you're out and has it been all right indoors? Is she still locked in? So she can go out and get stuff? Oh Rose is like oh yeah, Rose doesn't have to isolate does she? Rose doesn't have to isolate. But you still can't really like be parting it up if you've got COVID-home. No, I'd have been annoyed if she'd gone to Jimmy Carr's party without without. th. th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. to to to to to to to. to to to to. to to th. th. 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. to to to the. to to to to to to to the. the. thi. the. thi. th. been annoyed if she'd gone to Jimmy Carr's party without me. Did she? No. Anyway, so we've been locked in for five, six days by now. I can't even remember anymore. We're supposed to be, we're supposed to be meeting up to do one of these in person with Michael and have a little drink and celebrating. It's horrible. You can't all the little fun celebration stuff sort of been taken away, isn't it? It's, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do th, do th, th, th, th, th, th, th thi, thi, thi, thi, we're thi, we're thi, we're thi, we're thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, the little fun celebration stuff sort. It's been taken away, isn't it? It's, do you know what, in a weird way, being locked down has been slightly easier, not

easier but like slightly easier than people who are having to make the decisions over what to do for the next week, if you know what I mean? I think in a way, getting it now where you are out for Christmas and you don't have to make decisions on doing stuff, it's taking out of your hands, is probably actually quite a nice thing to happen. The only worry we've got is Rose getting it. And then we've got, and then we'd be logged out for Christmas Christmas and we can have people just constant worry. I've been a bit of a messer last week, Josh, I can't get me the head right. The news I'm so depressing. I'm all over the shop. I'm all over the place. The other day I was like trying to do Christmas shopping, it was so busy out, I didn't know what to do so. I just went into a pub and got pissed to my own for two hours because I was meeting someone. That's the safest way,

Rob. But that's the safest way Rob. So basically I finished work. I finished work. I finished work at the to the too. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'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 their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I was their. I was th. I'm their. I was their. I was their. I was. I was their. I was their. I was their. I was their. I was their. I was their. I was their. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's their. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. I'm the th. th. I'm the the the th. I was the th. I was th. I was walking around the shops and I was getting all stressed and I'll fuck this one. My booster's not for another week. Let's see if I'm get a walking booster. So I've got a cab to like this, one of the hospitals near Houston. There's a massive queue they weren't moving. They were waiting, I've waited nine hours. I was, I was like, and then I met my mates. That's the first time I've been really jealous that I'm locked in.

That I had a pint on my own near a hospital. Yeah, isn't that awful? Yeah. And then I was all like, oh my god. I'm meeting people here the restaurant we were just in a middle of a restaurant on our own I was like there's this people here than they would have been in the street but it is horrible that and I'm finding myself getting a bit snappier people Josh I don't know if you have this I was in I was in the park and with the girls anyway we're walking the dog an any the way the toys the the the it it it's the it's the it's the it's the it's the it's the it's the it's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I's is is is is is I's the I's they I's they I's they I's they I's they I's they I's they they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's the said, I think she was trying to be nice. She was saying to my daughter, oh look all the leaves, why don't you pick up all the leaves

to make a lovely leaf collage when you get in. And I was like, all that fucking ideas. Do you want to come around and do that? She's four. She ain't going to just knock' knock just knock just knock just knock just knock just knock just knock just knock just knock just knock knock just knock knock knock just a to I'm doing a little fucking leaf, yeah come around and do it. You're making me do a leaf collage. You called her Swampy, didn't you? That was right, Swampy!

Get your fucking leaf ideas to yourself! Go and protest about that new train line. I'm going to get her own tired and watch Super Sunday and my feet up while my kids watch their iPads because that's who I am or on it. That's what I need today. Do you know what? That we've implemented that Rob? To this has been the first time we've we've gone, do you know what to my daughter? Yeah. You can't have the TV anymore. You can watch? You can watch a TV on your iPad. I didn't say fucking. But you thought it? I thought it. We're going to watch a Muppets Christmas Carol because that's what we want to watch. Right, yeah, that's it. This is Josh, this is the future. You just got to

do whatever you want to do and then the kids fitting around it. I didn't know that was the option. That is an option. Sometimes you can be too good at parenting. Sometimes you need to take your foot off the pedal a bit. They like a bit of iPad time. They've got to spend their old life looking at screens, learn them early. Yeah, do you know what? It is. Said a man who just said, learn them early. the man. How's it been a very emotional week?

Sometimes you tha. Sometimes you tha. Sometimes you tha. Sometimes you tha. Sometimes you today Rob, so festive at the moment. I feel very festive to me. Well, how has it been? It's been a very emotional week as well because I've been I find it I get anxiety so this for me is not ideal. Stuff keeps moving and like it was my four there was a four year old birthday party on Sunday we had 18 cancellations on the day. Oh mate! Hmm! Oh fucking out.

And so the actual part was brilliant in the end. Not because they've got COVID because they were worried about it. No, so it was a bit like one, some people were going, sovah, so it was a bit like, so they had to do a PCR test like in a couple of days. Some people were isolating, some people had it. So all totally understandable reasons why, but you're just like, I can't cancel my four-year-old's birthday party. Anyway, so there was about seven in the end, and that, do you know what? We were so worried about it.

But at one point that broke our heart was when Lou was getting them ready and then the four-year-old went, oh, mommy, who's coming to my party? And we said, oh, the to-oh, oh, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, who's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, who's, who's, who's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, who's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. th. the th. the th the kids and she went, that's not many. Oh my. Oh God, oh God. But, you know what, and Paul Lou had put so much effort into it and it was horror, but it actually was wonderful because we had really close friends and family there because it was all the family that we're gonna spend Christmas with anyway. So it doesn't really matter.

Do you know what I mean? and a lot of the adults were there and they sort of joined in but there was like seven kids the entertainer was brilliant the face painting lady was unbelievable and we had a bouncy castle it felt a bit like the kids. One of the things with parties is the kids don't get enough are they takes too long to get to the face painting. Yeah exactly. They're in a big group with the entertainer maybe seven is the old sort of fable the maybe thing where you think something's gonna be bad but you never really know yeah so it's like an old way like the Chinese farm and the Chinese farmer there's a storm knocked down a fence all his horses and he goes maybe tho that's thau' the

he goes maybe that's terrible you got all these wild horses and he goes maybe then his kid goes out with the horse and gets kicked off the horse breaks his leg and they go oh god that's terrible he says maybe next day the army come and they don't take his kid for constription because he's got a broken leg and they go isn't that lucky that he says maybe yeah we don't know enough to you Lex Brooker loses a leg, is that bad? Maybe. He's got a Channel 4 contract. Exactly! Do you know what I mean? So you never really, we don't know enough to know the full implications of what's going to happen. So actually, with it being seven, was brilliant because if everyone did turn up, I think it would have felt a bit too many people in a room. And everyone

would have felt awkward like fucking oh it's a bit, fuckinged. But because it was it was the kids the kids the kids their their their their they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they're their, their,. The kids, the kids got face painted, they got their arms painted, they all look like they're in gangs by the end of it, because they were covered in tats. And we had a brilliant time, but I tell you what's funny though, this is a dinosaur-themed party, right? And to you, it felt a bit like a Saudi to, throman prince, their their their thrown, thi prprinininin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thrown, thr, thr, tho, throwne. thr, tho, tho, tho, tho, thoom. they're all, they're all, they're all, 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, th.. And, th. And, th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. toda. today, today, today, together, today, today, today, today, today, today, together. today, tha. they problem about an under a pound a head for this fucking party but let me send you this photo of the invite I'll put it on Instagram as well let me find the thing this will make you laugh what's written at the bottom of the card because it's a dinosaur themed party read out what the diplodocus is saying at the bottom of the party underneath all the information Josh oh god oh God Oh God, oh God, party like you're going extinct? Yeah. Oh no, mate. Party like you're going extinct.

And we're not going to be able to make it actually. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. So that was horrible. And you know, like, classic anxiety. We were, me and they were so stressed in the build-up to it. And it was actually brilliant, like not just, oh, we were me and they were so stressed in the build-up to it and it was actually brilliant like not just oh we've muddled through that they all really enjoyed themselves it was really good fun I enjoyed it one you could because there weren't so many people there

I could actually watch my kids engaging with each other and with the entertain person but like leading up to it mate I've been emotionally all over the place. Have you seen that TV show, like the pet show, with like Joanna Page from Gavin and Stacy, Derm O'Leary, it's almost like a small slash top gear for pets where, right, yeah, yeah, they talk about pets, I have like an obstacle course and who can do it the quickest and stuff like that. And then, they hadthat had one ear and no eyes and it would been found in a Lebanon tied up to a

skip and being used as target practice they x-rayed it had 20 25 to 50 shrapnels of bullets from like air rifles in it where they'd been just shooting it tied to a thing and this woman rescued it and it was also like being taken to hospices to like like the the the the old the older the old the old the old the old the old the old the old the old the old 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 to to to their their to to to to to 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 be. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. their is is. their is. their is. I I I I I I. I. I. I was. I was. I was. the the the their. their. I was. 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 t and this woman rescued it and it was also like being taken to hospices to like be friends with the the older people in there that couldn't have visitors because of COVID and his dogs going in and there was on his old this old boy you know that old people they look like falling apart this poor but was like cuddling it and oh come here boy and this dog and I'm like I'm in tear you oh the they's like, you're all right, I'm not you. I don't know. Then I laughed hysterically because I realized it was a fucking street dog.

You know these street dog things you keep talking about? Mother fucking street dog. I'm crying over a fucking street dog. Oh my god. But yeah, it's just constant second getting stress and worry in and oh it's carnage in it but... Do you know that's why being locked it? This is one of the weird things is I had loads of things planned like a couple of parties and a trip and stuff and also this was like the first this was the mad thing is from last leg finishing on the 12th that's the earliest I've finished for Christmas yeah since I did comedy and I've spent the whole the th. th. th. the th. the the th. th. the the th. th. the th. the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I was th. I was th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi thi thi thi thi. I was the. I was th. I was th. I was th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was th. I was th.

I'm the. I'm thin th. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I was the. time that like the last three or four months going I cannot wait for that time off. Yeah that's what I was

feeling like. When there's nursery and then it's all collapsed but you know what? Being stuck in not being able to do anything and it's just the family has been like the one thing I've really needed to do. There's been no pressure to do the thatnewla thatting thatting that's that's that's that's that's the that's that's the that's that's the that. that. that. that. their their their their their their their their thoes. thr-s. thr-I's thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. that's that's that's that's tho. the. the. the. the. the. the the. the the the the the the the the the the thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. the.

There's been no pressure to do any work. There's been nothing else I can do. And it's actually, it's like a kind of, you know, like a Hallmark movie where you realize what the true spirit of Christmas is? Yes, and it's on like little detox of just, oh, this is what we're all doing it for.

tho and not to go few things this week because I was supposed to be meeting up with you and stuff like that but actually it's been so much nice to go oh I do this and I can spend the day with the kids or just do that you know little stupid boring things of like oh I could do a little bit of Lego or t because that event's not happening just think oh I'm just it and I'm resting and because people talk that self-care thing is like read a book lie down but normally the best thing you can do is self-care say no like do you want to come out no I don't know and not feel obliged to go out for the sake of it or just you know to be polite but well I'm glad you're in considering situation you enjoy in this inside time Josh. After the night of the sweats I haven't really had any symptoms so I'm you know quite lucky with that yeah so obviously I'm lucky with

that but fucking hell a lot of people I know I've got it Rob it's so many people have got it. I know more people that have currently got COVID like if you added up everyone I know who's had COVID in the last two years, versus everyone who's currently got it, I know more who've currently got it now. Okay, well let's do it, get your pen and paper out. Okay, people I know before you, that's about it. Yeah, me, anyone that went to Wembley. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, that's good. At least, at that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. that's good. that's good. that's good. that's good. that's good. that's good. that's good. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. th. their. their. their. th. th. I. th. I. I. th. I. th. I. I's that's th. at least it's been fun at home. Anything else to report or anything else going on? All your Christmas shopping done I imagine?

Yeah, of course. All done online obviously now because it's very difficult to go out and do my Christmas shopping. We've got we've got a list. So this is a slight issue. Yeah. Obviously, well, I, Rose can't drive. Yeah. So... Well, actually, no license. Are you quite misogynistic with your views?

I just don't think she checks a blind spot on her. She can't drive. Yeah, she got a license all right, mate. But doing 20 in a 30 zone, fucking our man up. But anyway, right? I was going to go out and do the big shop for Christmas. Oh yeah, of course you don't have that but I can't do that so Rose is going to have to do it in in small journeys. Like like she's shuffling out like you know like when someone's breaking out of prison

Oh yes please. Do you want some listening abroad? Yes please. Hi guys I listen to the podcast from a small village called Berg in the Grand Duchy Oh lovely. Do I win anything? No you don't. You already live in the Grand Duchy? Yeah. It's in that? Prince Charles? What the Duchy? Yeah, is that what? Yeah. Think of my duchy? No pox word I don't mean. You don't really the Duchy? Yeah, is that what the... Yeah, I think of my thing. You're a Dutch word, I don't mean what it means. Also, we've got a high, I know you love to hear the people

listening to you all over the globe, so I wanted to let you know. We live in Kenya! Kenya! Yes, I love your podcast. Last weekend, and you're playing in the today, I, I, I, I, the the the the tap, I, I, I, the tod, I, I, I, today, I, I, I, I, I, the the the today, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to to to hear, I to hear, I to hear, I to to to to to, I to hear, I to hear, I to hear, I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the today, I today, I today, I today, I today, I today, today, I today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today son nap through the whole thing. We love the show, we love a shout out. At least you live in Kenya, you've not gone to far away for it. Anna Tom and Max, there we go. Boomer Perrin in, let's do some Boomer Peronians because these are great.

Let's finish on Boomer Parenthood. And I've got a teacher, you know I moaned about parents evenings being being short. I've got a teacher, it's only fair you hear both sides. I absolutely love the podcast, this is some Jack underscore six, 1609. Absolutely love the podcast, look forward to new episodes every week. Just a wee perspective. I basically said that 10 minutes per appointment on teams isn't enough because the clock counts down and they're gone before you can ask a question. Anyway, so just a wee perspective from a secondary school teacher in Glasgow, re-parent nights. I totally understand Rob's frustration, only being allowed 10 minutes per appointment and then

being over teams, believe me, speaking kind of presumptuously on behalf of teachers. We would much rather it be in person too. Teams is not ideal for a tea. I. I. I. kigs is 5.5 hours extra meeting at the end of a day's teaching. For secondary, five year groups, three times a year, extended to 15 minutes per appointment would mean we are meeting parents of 8 hours and 15 minutes at the end of a working day. Cut it down to five. It's a massive difference when it all adds up. Just to to the, if I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, th, th, th, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, is, is, is, tha, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the tot. And, tot. And, tot. And, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, is, tha. And, a massive difference when it all adds up just throwing different point of view in the mix. I'd also like to say is if you don't like it get a different fucking job Josh that's what I think about that. I don't like driving to Dundee. I don't move Dundee do I. Well do you know what I'd compare it to Rob? Do you know what I used to do a gig and their to be a big. their their their their their th. their th. th. to be th. th. to be. to th. to to th. th. th. to th. to to to to thin. 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. Yeah and you got to get back. No I don't I'm only missing I do understand that point of view however what I would say is I think it's point of seven appearance evening when there's not time for questions but at my girl school what they're very good at is if you do have any

questions and you email them in they will get back to you so that is resolved that is resolved so that is resolved so I'd I'd I'd your that's the wrong card. No, but that, to be fair, in their defence, yeah, they're very good at getting back to you, but what I think you should do is either stretch it to 12 minutes where 10 minutes of the teacher, two minutes to the adults I do understand it's a long day, but, you know. It's a long old day. Right, here's boomer parenting. Boomer parenting. Okay, these are absolutely exceptional to be fair. Hi Rob and Josh, absolutely loving the podcast. My friend recommended it the other day and I've been listening on repeat.

Not sure what Rock I was hiding under before. When I was younger, we had two guinea pigs, which were meant to be both girls, turns out Sandy was actually a Sam and we ended up with baby guinea pigs. One morning one of the baby guinea pigs had died overnight and I was distraught. The following morning my dad shouted for me to come down excited and told me that the baby wasn't dead and had actually come back to life. I was obviously so excited until he went only joking April. It was the first of April. I was only eight years old and it where that is insane. That is insane.

My dad is still devastated about it. It doesn't know what came over in Fangs Lily. That is incredible. It's awful. I think what it is is they get a bit older at eight and they seem so grown up and they're so sassy and give you like shit back. But actually they are so grown up and they're so sassy and give you like shit back but actually they are just still eight but you forget because they feel so believable. Here we go we've got another couple is a good one. Okay listening to this morning's podcast and Rob is talking about having kids birthdays in December oh this oh this isn't boomers but this is quite good Christmas I've got a boomer to finish on

this morning's podcast and Robert's talking about having kids birthdays in December and I've just have to message in because if I'd only heard the stop having sex in March advice seven years ago, my eldest, yeah, this is, if you don't know, if you fucking March, you Christmas is ruined. Yeah. That's just a guy talking from the front line. So just remember no matter how sexy you're feeling if it's March. March, lock your dick up, wait till April. Anyway, my eldest son was born on Christmas Day, which is honestly absolutely mental. Oh my God. I'm still in shock, almost seven years later, my house is the epitome of Santa's Grotto come Christmas morning, and the amount of money we end up spending is ludicrous. Oh, God. Especially given that now we've had another child,

and also have our brother and sister-in-law's birthday on the 22nd and 25th of December. No. Yes another fucking Christmas Day birthday respectively. Oh my word. It's safe to say that I have now heed the same advice Rob has given out and don't let my husband anywhere near me in March anymore. Love listening to the podcast from Shannon and lock yourselves up. I think we should do merch and it should be called the March chastity bill. We should start introducing chastity bills and chains but just not for women I'm willing to lock up a dick too. Yeah.

Oh you do you have to lock up a dick. Lock up a dick. Lock up a dick, lock up a vagina, and keep the key to April. That's what we're going to do do do do do 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 to do the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Look up. Lock up. Lock up. Lock up. Look up. Look up. Lock up. Lock up. Lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock up, lock, lock, lock, lock. Look, lock. Look, lock. Look, lock. Look, lock. Look, lock. Look, lock. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. You.

That's what we're going to do. Exactly. Right, one more boomer one and then we'll wrap it up for today and do a small business shout. While listening to H. From Steps episode, you asked about being too young to go to a football game. Okay, and this is a bit boomerie and a bit the young football game. This is a nice combo this one. In early 1970 whilst heavily pregnant with me, my dad took my mom to a Newcastle home game. Partway through my mom felt faint and she said she felt back pain since kickoff. She was stretched off and taken to the St. John's ambulance room. My dad followed the stretcher all around to the other side of the pitch. I love it. When they th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. the, the, the, tho, tho, the, the, the, too, while, while, while, while, 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. the, the, the, the, the the the, the the, the the the the. the the the the the the the the.a, the too. too, the too, the too, toooooo the pitch. Oh, I love it. Yeah, when they go round the pitch. Constant wolf whistles as he was carrying her armbag.

This is so 70s. I love it. Wolf whistling him because he's carrying her their own bag. That night a match he officially claimed his five minutes of fame when they featured my mom on a stretcher in labor and my dad holding her bag. Brilliant. Back in the St. John's Ambulance 10, my mom was definitely in labor and was taken by ambulance straight to hospital to have me. Being a true Newcastle fan and hearing that my birth would be hours away and knowing that the hospital and St. James Park was so close. Oh no, oh no, he didn't.

My dad went back to the stands. No way. To the biggest cheer the stadium heard all day and watch the rest of the game. That is incredible. That is absolutely incredible. Unbelievable. Wow. Did it say when this is what? 70s? This is Diane. This is 70s. I'd love to go and get some archive. They'll know the date. Diane, let us know what date you were born and we must be able to find the archive of that. We're going to be able to watch the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest to watch to watch the rest the rest to watch the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. the rest. 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. some archive. They'll know the date. Diane, let us know what date you were born. And we're going to, we must be able to find the archive of that. We'll be able to find the archive of the the BBC, weren't we? Yeah, that'd be great.

We won't have contacts to that. I think, I now, I've just realized. That's really bad example. Hi, Adrian, have you got Gary Lindica's number? Thanks. Bye. Wicked, all right, small business shout out. I've got a good one here.

Okay, look, hi Rob and Josh. I've only just found your podcast. This is a small business shout out. loud listening to the two of you and I've never felt so seen. I'm currently, this is just all praise, we don't need this, I appreciate it, you don't have to kiss her ass this much Nina. Anyway, this is Nina. I'm the founder of a small business aimed at parents called Buggy Park. It's an online marketplace where you can buy, sell or donate secondhand prams. We all know that they become redundant at some stage or upgraded for something, to, to, to, rest of the tourney gathering dust in your shed before long, it's covered in mold and rust. It's so true, we had that happen and felt such a shame that like we put it in the garage and it went completely ruined and we weren't using it.

And I don't know why we kept it. Anyway, so this is a place where you can sell it or you can give it away away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away it away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away away their their their their to, their their, to, to. to, to, to, to, their, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to their, to me, to to to to to told. told, to me, their, their, their, their, their, their, a better way of parting with their prams and also I offer a more sustainable choice for those that want to be part of the reused revolution. I would love it so, so much if you could give me a little shout out please. And I don't want to give Nina too much shit on this because she's got a great website, she's got a great Instagram page. However, I think think think th currently it's just her face and it doesn't look like the website is flawless but the the Instagram page is Buggy Park and it's got Nina Wisfield that's her name she looks lovely she looks very business she looks very business it all looks

but it's just a picture of her face it doesn't it doesn't look like it's a business it just looks like it almost looks like that's that sort of of like she's a Tick-Tock star and then is Buggy Park. She does like weird sketches. Wow, if you can help with the logo, do you get in tougge with her. Yes, more importantly, well just as importantly, if you have a buggy get in touch with her. Yes, if you have a buggy, she does have a little bit of a logo, which is a bee. Instagram page I would suggest Nina that it needs to be the Buggie Park logo not your own face. Anyway, they'll go to Buggy Park UK on Instagram or Buggie Park. that their that you can buy, sell or donate because there's people like they really need a buggy. So yeah, brilliant idea. Thanks, Nina. This one is for you Rob. Hi guys. I hope that could give you, you could give my small business a shout out. Rob, brace yourself.
