Welcome to Parenting 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'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're listening to Parenting Hill with Can you say Rob Beckett? Yeah. Say Rob Beckett. Can you say Josh Whitacom? There we go. There we go. I like that. A bit of aggression in there. Yeah. Do you know what, Rob, this feature? I heard it this morning as a listener for the first time, because, as you know, sometimes

when I can't sleep I'll put on a podcast, Rob. Yeah. Have you listened to our one? No, but it played through. So I woke up and I was listening to the start of parenting, the parenting, the parenting, the parenting, to parenting, to parenting, to parenting, to parenting, the parenting, to parenting, to parenting, to parenting, to parenting, the parenting, to parenting, the par parenting, the paranting, the paranting, the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, as their, as their, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, as, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, as, as, as, as, as, as a, as a, as a, as a, as a their, as, as, I don't know why I've subscribed to parenting hell. It's probably something I did. First week of parenting hell in an attempt to boost it up the charts. It's still in my numbers game Josh. Yeah it's a numbers game. So I listened to it. Oh that is good that. Anyway hello this is my two and a half year old son AJ. Is that what you were saying that you just think it's good? I thought you, I don't feel smart to that, like, oh yeah, I was just like, oh no, no, no, I was just, do you know what? I was thinking. You're being weird. It's not 20 past nine in the morning. Where are you? Are you, you're at, you're on tour, Rob? I'm in a hotel, do, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm th.

I'm on tour, Rob, I'm in a hotel, I let you in on secret.

The internet wasn't very fast, so I phoned down to reception, and they've put me on a VIP internet so that I could record this podcast. That's good of all. That's good of all. Are you? You're on a VIP deal? Because I can't tell I'm giddy. I'm giddy. You feel like your voice is dancing. Like the early days of Last Leg.

When you were just a young bug, tear-free. Yeah, exactly. Sat on that sofa going to, do they know I'm not disabled? I'm not going to bring it up? Are they where? I'm not, I, I, I, I, I th. I th.

Hello, this is my two and a half year old son, AJ, Asha James. We also have a six-month-old son, Olly. My wife was introduced to your podcast by a best friend who lives in England, so we've been binge listening from episode one to now over the last few months. Two kids under three with minimal family support in a pandemic is a lot,

so knowing we aren't alone, with some the crazy tha tha tha tha tha tha thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes that thoes thoes thoes thoes thoes tho-a tho-a tho-a tho-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, th-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to, our older son had his hair eaten by Gordon the train while my wife drove him to daycare. Oh, do you remember that? Oh, yes, the train got caught up in the hair. Oh no. Yeah. From another pair of time, Rob, but it's quite far, isn't it? Yeah. It's really far away.

It looks nice, Canada. I used to enjoy due south, the um, that mountie thing. The mountie they're still have mounties. I don't know what? I'm going to show it. Is it like Morris dances for a Canadian? What is it? They're like mounting police. They're members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Because they're on the Pulseback. And do they have full authority?

I don't want to be arrested by someone looking like that. He looks like the first ever postman. Yeah. No, but they are. They're like, it's a bit like beefeaters, or like, you know the change. In England, you know the changing of the guard of of of of of of of of of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard of the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard the guard their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th th. th. theat. th. theat. theat. th. theat. th. theat. they're. they're they're the score with Mounties? How will Michael know about Mounties? It's the kind of thing he's going to know. Well, my mum is actually Canadian. Oh, here we go.

Oh, here we go. I didn't know that. I didn't even know that. But I've got no idea what the answer is. I was going to to do it in a way. And then Michael's gone back on mute so I don't know if he likes it or not. Make you a very stress or record when he's in charge of the edit. No, so the Mowdies are they are police. Yeah so I think they're like specific police, horsebacked police.

There we go. Anyway so I'm glad we've cleared that up. Glad we've just lost our Canadian listeners. I think though if you if you ring the police and you say oh my god the house is being burgled I think they send cars with police. Right, they don't send a mountie. Yeah, like clip clopping up the street. God well I'm really shooing his oof I can't get there tonight. So yeah anyway big up up Canada. Mounted police fucking scare me. You know when you have a the police. the police. the their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their their their.

I don't like horses. I don't know horses. I went all riding once it was horrific and all the little village, you know the little countryside people that no horses were all laughing at me because I couldn't do it properly. And I felt like saying don't I don't know what I'm doing. I wouldn't laugh at you on the fucking tube. tuc you on the fucking. I'm the fucking the fucking tuce tuce the fucking tuce tuce tuce tuce tuce tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm their I'm thus.

I'd see them with their stupid big thick waxy coats on, getting them all getting them all sweaty, their stupid big boots with all mud on them, all looking panicked at the sign. I'd go, where you're getting to. All right, yeah,the Victoria line laughing to yourself. Giggling and they're going to end up in Cock Fosters because it's got cock in the title.

Are you choking on your tea? I wasn't toak it on my tea? I was enjoying the joke about try to drink my tea. My tea bags burst Rob, my there's only two tea bags in the hotel room so I've got to go through with it. Ring them up and say you want VIP tea bags. This is where, that's where Jose Marino lived for four years at hotel. It is where Jose Marino lived. I wonder if he had problems with the internet. Do you know what? But it did contain the word football, the VIP internet. So it's for all the footballers. Because the foot, Man United stay there. It's the Lowry, isn't it?

It's where Man United to stay and I once was in this hotel. That is a fancy hotel. You don't always get nice hotels like that. Oh, this is my favorite, Rob. This is where Wayne Rooney slept with those guys that own Man City. Oh, Sheikh Mansour. Yeah, I was in the lift with Shaq Manzure. I, because you get a lot of basic, because there's always gigs.

If you're like a touring comedian as well, that's a good hotel because it's near everything. So if you're getting over to Blackburn or people stay there and people all the different gigs around there. I did it once and because he's got the arena near there, you've got the Lourie and you've got the Manchester O2 Academy, says loads of venues. I was doing it once and I was sat there having breakfast in the morning and Paul Whitehouse came over to me because he was doing a tour of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse spoke to me, how's how is it going? And I was like, poor Whitehouse knows who I am. And I absolutely jizzed myself. And I was terrible in the conversation. And when he walks off, I was so upset that I sort of didn't. Oh God.

But he's one of my heroes, Paul Whitehouse. I love Paul Whitehouse. Oh, I love Paul Whitehouse. He's a lot. He's a lot. He's a nice bloathe's poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor poor.

Joe lives near me, Tamara San and Craig Fairbrass from Cliffhanger and Eastenders. That's the one! Wow! The only person ever to do that double. Yeah because sliced alone still could do Eastenders we can't rule that out. It's a good quiz. Eastenders and love actually. Marty McCutchey. There we go. What else has got? I've sort of running out now a bit.

Who's been in the... So shit, actually it's really bad game. Eastenders and Grangell. Oh, who's that? Todd Carty. Toad the game. Eastenders and the business. What's the business?

Okay, Eastenders and Football Factory. Yeah. EsteEnders and Carry On Camping. Bavar Windsor. Yeah, there we go. This is a fucking BBC on Saturday night show, here we go, we got a format. This is a great idea, isn't it? Send him in, we'll play. I've got another one. Eastenders and Britain by bike with Larry and George Lamb. Is it George Lamb? No, it's Larry Lamb. Got it.

Oh for God's sake. Got it, so close. Josh, I've got a public service announcement. Oh no. It's March. Oh. Rubber up to save your Christmas. Put your dick's away.

Put your dicks away. Lock up the vagina. It's no sex time. If you conceive now, your Christmas is ruined for the rest of your life. If you are having sex as you listen to this, stop. Do you know what, even January's bad. I'd say, I wouldn't start fucking again until about, what, mid-May? Yeah, exactly. I think after Easter, give up sex, for Lent, after Easter, I'd get your end away. That's what it should be. I didn't realize it was March so here we go stop having sex. Obviously I've abided by it by mistake currently. Yeah you've been on that train for a little while now I mean just in case. Do you know what that's safe than sorry my friend? Yeah I've been actually been keeping it a lot time since last March so

I gotta take any chances. Oh Josh as well you know I've slagged off blacks the mountaineering shop. Thank God for God for that, yeah. Oh wait, I don't really realize that there are quite a lot of people listen to this, including most of the people that work for Blacks, the Mountaineering shop. And I've basically, because I was in the shop, bought a backpack, and they all did it online for me and they didn't have any. So I had to go back in store back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back to go back the to go back to go back to go back in store to get my refund I moaned about it and then someone wrung me up and apologized and did a refund over the phone. What did they think of you as they did that Rob? The vibe wasn't great. It felt a bit like why have I got to do this just because he moaned on the podcast

but I spoke to Emma and Laura Black so they were very nice and I explained the policy Josh I was going to to to you you you you you you you they. they. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they 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 th they th th th I th I thed thed thi thi think think think think think thi think think thi think thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they they they was moaning about it, but then I felt really bad at the end of the conversation. If I see you in a blacks advert in six weeks time, it's going to be... They offered me, they offered... Rob, am I part of a viral marketing scam by you and you're blacks? But it's annoying at you, they're getting more advertising. They offered, they said, we really sorry for this mix up and they explained the policy. 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 offered. They they offered. They offered. They offered. They they they offered. They they they they they offered. They they they they they they they offered. They offered. They offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered me, they offered me, they offered me, they offered, they offered, they they offered, they they offered, they they offered, they they offered, they they offered, 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 offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they offered, they they they they they a backpack to say, sorry, I said no, I can't be bought unless it's in a prearranged advert, which is fair enough. But I said no to work and stuff, but they explain the policy. Basically, it's a security issue if you do it because you basically, they don't have your details on file like they do when you order it online. You have to take the physical card in, but they their try to the try, their, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, their, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, but, but, but, but, their, their, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, so. So, so, so. So, so, so. So, so, so. So, so, so, so. So, so. So, so, so. So, so. So, so, so. So, so. So, so. So, so. So, so, so. So, so, so, so. So, so, so, some. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, the, the, so, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. their, but, but, they. they. their, but, but, but, but, but, they. they of trusted me to read the card number out because you could ring up and pretend to be that person and use a card. I don't really understand it, but that's their policy but they, if you do ring customer services and you can't, if you're like, you know, accessibility issues and you can't, like accessibility issues, you're a bit, you know, you can't do it over the Mott the Weeks. They're the two options aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, basically, yeah.

So anyway, they were very kind and nice. Let's put a line under that, but I did not take the free backpack, just so you know I want to bought something else where. Okay, okay. Oh, God. Oh, God. I wasn't going to talk about this, but it's reminded me. I'll go on. I said, you know, I was in Edinburgh last week. Oh, yeah, you was waiting to go to Cardiff the next day. Yeah.

Oh, mate. My seven-hour train journey to Cardiff was glorious. Absolutely incredible. Was it? Just sat there. I just sat there's two trucks, it's weird, when you come down from up north there's like two trains, there's the LNER, which is like, you know, quite a comfortable ride, then it's weird like, I can't remember the name of it, some weird, it feels like a train

from the 60s, some old dirty rattler and it's fucking horrible. Some old, some of my anecdotes, but like, I do you remember, it wasn't even ten years ago that we'd have those trains where you'd stick your hand out the window to open the door? Yes! Isn't that mental? Yeah, you'd have to unlock the door from the outside in. Yeah, absolutely incredible that that was happening. I would have taken that train, this one, it's all right, old smelly. It was creak as it came up and it was about four carriages and it was well busy. But anyway, I couldn't have done seven hours on that though, but your one sounds all right. Anyway, I've left my wallet the wallet in Edinburgh. Oh no. It's got found their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to their to to their to their to their to their to their their to to their to their th.

I went into buy a pen, but it's bad when your agent phones you up and said

they found your wallet in the university shop because it feels like you've had some kind of weird. You know, I just went into a pen and it sounds like you've kind of been hanging around with the students or something weird. I went into a shop. I went into a shop.

Don't put too much in your pockets. Bloaks, do you know what? And you see it bulgedue. And the boake ever seen that? A little bump on the wallet when the condon's ever been used and he's been rammed in his pocket. A circular kind of bump around the wallet. How has your week been? It's been, well, yeah.

I'm just dropping that in their in their in their their their their subconscious, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the the the the the th's, thi. So, thi's, thi's, thi's, their, their. So, their. So, the th's the their. So, their. So, their. Claiming the pay insurance is sixth on a do list forever. Yeah, absolutely, just above taking your card back in to get a refund on a backpack that never arrived. But yeah, so that's still just let you know. That will never get claimed back. Josh just let you know that pay insurance. Absolutely pointless. We're paying monthly for something we never use. Yeah, we've got pay insurance as well. Yeah, you have a claim back on it? Every time. No, because every time they're like,

probably not for this one. I wouldn't, I wouldn't bother with this one because it's not a big enough claim, and it'll affect you know, claims bonus and all that kind of stuff. You want to get your money's worth. You want to get your money's worth of pet plan. Come on on guys. Yeah, I want to give him a new like titanium knee or something. Do the dogs have knees? Do the dogs have knees? Do the dogs have knees? No obviously I'm not wishing a bad injury on my dog, but I would like to feel like I'm getting my money's worth from the... Just an expensive kind of op. Yeah, that's anything's actually fun. Do dogs have knees? Dogs have knees, yeah. Two front legs have elbows and the two high legs have knees. Why is that funny?

Does that not mean that the two front legs are arms? That's good point. Dogs have even have knee caps in oh yeah, school trip, that's what he needs to talk about. Oh, here we go. You sent me a photo. Oh, God, it was horrific. Oh, God, it was horrific. Which obviously we can't put on our Instagram because it's full of children.

Did you buy a little backpack for your school trip? No, I didn't even take a bag actually. I just had big pockets. No, I bought the bag because we're going away in the summer and we're going away in Easter actually, and it's for the airport because their kids have so many things and what happens is I'll take a little backpack that's full and then by the time we're at the airport you need a proper backpack with support so you can

just take your entire family's stuff is what happens. This is a question I need to ask you Rob. Yeah go on. Because I'm a middle-aged man now Rob. Yes as are you or we're we're caering towards it. or or wearing or we're or we're th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the thi. thi. their thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi.

But yeah. You're so cool. But I don't, I was thinking the other day, am I on a count down here? Can I see the, can I see the straps please? Sent you the picture.

So has it got compartments for all the different things? Is that what? Yes.

So you've got snacks, you've got the change of clothes. Yeah, so first of all, you need two little pockets for the drinks. But basically have a look at this backpack, you got it, yeah? So this one. Oh my god. you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you th, you 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, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho tho tho tho tho tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th. th, th, th, th. th, th, th, th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi, thi, thi, th It's this one. Oh my God, you absolute nerd. Yes, it's full nerd. If you don't get wedged on holiday, there's no justice in the world. So you've got two pockets of water,

you'll need that for you and the kids. Oh my god, you're such a support on the back. Yeah, but need snacks. It gets so heavy, little iPad, and I'm going to use it afterwards just for work. But yes, it is a huge nerve bag. Yes, because you know what, Josh? Where are you working at the end of a train platform writing down the numbers? Because you need good, Josh. My body's getting old. I want to look good. I want to be some little crumpled old man with his sandquist bag. You don't want to look good you're wearing that bag mate. I know but I don't care I'm comfortable.

It's got bits of elastic around it to keep all the stuff inside. Yes exactly you can shove stuff in there you can click little like clips on it to hang stuff off. It's got so much support Josh. Oh my word are you going walking with Ed Byrne? Like it's two... It is a nerd backpack, but it's comfortable and you need that. If we go like, we're going to go to Disney, we need, like if you're going to someone like Disney or like Aulton Towers with that, you need that. You're going to carry so much it'll hurt your back. Do you know what, Rob? You'll take that off to get on a that that that that that that that to get on, that that that the ride to get on a ride at Olden Towers. Yeah. And when you get back, it'll be left there, Rob, because it's the only bag no one's going to steal.

We got on the trip. The screaming, the screaming, we got, we got, we got, we got but the screaming, I'll try and find some videos of the screaming. They were screaming and they were chanting Leeds Castle as well. It was quite intense. Chanting Leeds Castle? Oh yeah, they absolutely loved it. I'm not really loved it. I'll get off the coach and all that the ladies from the education center. Could you hear that? the ladies, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they, the, the, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they were, they were, they, they, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they, they, they, they, they, they, they were, they, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, the, the, the, they were, they.. They were, they were, they. They were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were, they were go to Leeds Castle. I have to dress, we go in there to the workshop. I get off the coach and all the ladies from the education center are going,

there's one, she went, oh, and they sort of recognized me. She went, what are you doing here? I was like, I'm with my kids on a school trip? What do you it? Could I ask some questions Rob about it? Yeah, go on. Question one. Yeah. Early doors, how do you establish your authority? Or did you make yourself the fun one? I try to make myself the fun one in a desperate need for, you know, respect and power.

Where they was going, oh look, um, it's so and so-I know your name's the tho. tho' the that's that's that's that's that's that's their that's that's their their that. their tho' their their tho' tho' their their their tho' tho' tho' their tho' tho' their you're tho' tho' tho' tho' their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their so-a'er. their so-a'er. their so-a'er. their so-a'er. their soo'er. their soo'er. their soo'er. tho'er. tho'er. tho'eea'ea'eat tho'eat tho'eat tho'ea'ea'e. tho'ea'ea'e. tho'er. to you or sir so they kept them calling me Rob and I was going it's Mr. Beckett and then that was a bit of fun yeah what was quite weird was they absolutely desperate to hold my hand at all times and fighting over it so I had to employ a sort of turn based hand-holding policy oh what she'd do with her PT at the moment, holding hands. It's my turn for an hour later. And... She has got Peter. And one of the girls just squeezed my finger really hard to the point of, I think she was trying to hurt me. And I messaged the dad's group and I said, oh yeah, she was doing that. I think she was trying to like do it to hurt me. Yeah, yeah, she does. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the. 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. te. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. te. toda. te. te I think she was trying to like do it to hurt me. He went yeah yeah she does do that. I was like okay fair enough cool. No problem.

And I was winding up on the dads and I was like I cannot wait to find out whose kids the worst behaved. I'll report back later. I'll report later. But no they were all really well behaved actually and it was good. And it was good. I would recommend it. You go there and they do a drama workshop which the kids loved you all got dressed up Did you join in? Yes, I was dressed up as a night and they do a drama workshop? That was really good? And then after that they have lunch and then they take you for a tour around the castle and stuff. But what's good about it is like we're going to go back with as a familytake my tweed bag and yeah it was really good so that they really they really enjoyed I did I came home though and had a

hangover level headache from the screaming oh god it was absolutely mental it was like that but it was nice I was really it was really yeah little bit but it was the singing and the screaming and yeah it was good though and she was so happy and to you rea to the child so is their the the the the to the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I I I th. I was. I was. I was. It's th. I was th. It's th. It's th. So. It's th. It's th. So. It's the. I was. It's th. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I. I.. I. I............................................................................................ the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the and she was so happy that I went and did it, so I would massively recommend it. How did you relate to your child? So is your child a pupil or your daughter in that situation? And she straddles both, quite well, she dealt with that well. But it was like, I got put in charge of like five kids. So I was like going like team Beckett and doing a huddle and making them cheer. Which they liked, but then at one point my daughter pushed me away and covered my mouth and face. I think she got a bit bored of it till the end. I'm going to say it.

I am braced for being fully involved when my daughter gets to school. I'm going for it. I'm going big style Rob. Defoe, it's great because it's brilliant. You get to see them interacting and engage you with all the other kids. And also, you naturally chat more to their teachers and get a real insight into their behavior and how they're getting on. And it was like, you know, like, you only get a little bit in parents' evening and they've got so many to get through and it's short and sharp. So when you are, you naturally do just justiculate, you just talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to just talk, their, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to talk, to, their, their, to, their, to their, 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, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, their, and, their, the teaching assistant as well, which you wouldn't normally meet a parent. And it made me feel a lot more comfortable sort of knowing what environment she's in and stuff like that. So I'd massively recommend it if you get the chance to go on a school trip.

I really enjoyed it to be honest. And yeah, it was fun. That's fun. I was a really good. Yeah, it's really good. Well, constant snacks. Where did you sit on the bus, Rob? I sat the front actually. Presumably with that bag, you weren't allowed at the back of the bus, that's for sure, with the call kids. Yeah, yeah, actually, oh yeah, they made me sit at the front with the teachers. But you know, I was sitting at the front, there was a couple of kids.

their trown kids, their their the the the the the the the the the a tree, the a tree, tree, to to to to the a to to, to, their, their, their, their, their, the driver's low on a coach they was all going, Mrs driving the coach, Mrs driving the coach and they thought it was really funny because it looked like she was at the front as you because from the seat and then at one point she had to stand up to sort of go out with a seat bill and then they went, there's no one driving the bus there's no one driving the bus and they went mental. Do you know when I was at school we had a teacher called Mr. Eddie and he loved driving buses so much that he quit being a teacher to become on the school bus drivers. Is it? Yeah, he did do that.

Isn't that weird? Not weird at all. But like isn't that a strange kind of turn in your life at the age of 60 to go? My calling is I love driving the school bus. Yeah, because you think you would, yeah, like if you, yeah, imagine if you were driving the school bus and thought, you know what, I'll give teaching a go, but then to go, you know what, I just, I just, I just like the commute, I just like getting it. The best way of school is getting out and back, I don't actually like the school day. But that was really good, though, that's going well, well, well, my, to, to show me any affection whatsoever for two weeks now because I'm spiky like a hedgehog which was originally a joke but now I'm actually feeling it's horrible. She doesn't go in there. I bet you're getting more needy and she knows she's got the power.

That's a difficult situation Rob. Yes very difficult because she was funny going oh you're spiky you're a head jog and we laughed but now I'm finding it hard. I think I th you you you you a tip. Yeah. I think you're coming on too strong now. That's what we'll be happening here, Rob. You want that hug and she knows you want that hug. Yeah, big time. I'm needy. Yeah. Have you heard of advance and retreat? So if you advance, she will retreat. But if you hold back she'll have to Rob. Okay, this is good. Treat and mean, keep them keen. Yes, basically the way. Yes. Well, that's what that's what happened because also as what it's difficult because you don't want to say, oh, that's why. that's sad, give me a hug because then that bleeds into you shouldn't have to give someone, just because they want to hug, just because they want, whether they're your parent or not. So I've sort of eased off on that. And then so this morning, so I've been trying to do what you said and sort of not be too eager for it.

So on the school drop, like I say, I love holding a hand walking to school, a little man, it's lovely, it's lovely. And I thin't I I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm they's they's they's they're they're they're th I'm th gonna have to have another kid. Well, no, we're not doing that, not having that. You're gonna have to have another kid. Oh, with that backpack, no one's gonna shag me. Ridiculous. You're fucking nerd.

The ultimate contraception. Everyone in March should wear one of those backpacks, because they're the least sexy tall and long and bony now and like proper like squirmy kids. So we walked in and we got her out the car this morning. I held her hand because I sort of I didn't ask, I sort of just held her. Because I sort of just held her, and she obviously held my hand. And then I saw, like trying to do it because so I went I was like okay

Yeah, no worries and she was a bit like oh, I'm not getting what the reaction I want She was not holding your hand. I'm not holding your hand. I went yeah, I'm not holding your hand I went. Yeah, that's the I don't care about you. Oh my God. That is bad, isn't it? Oh my God. Because there's a difference now. You don't have to hug someone if they want to hug. And it's okay to not care about someone or to dislike someone. That's life's life.

But it's not okay to tell them. Yeah, Is it? You know, you don't always say what you think. No. If everyone said what they thought, the world. Could implode? Yeah, because I've got est, truthful, integrity, fuck off. She wants a pain in the ass, integrity. Get rid of it. Fuck off, just gossip, bitch. But in private!

Go for a walk, get an overpriced coffee, and slag off everyone you ever know. That's our life work. So then I had to say something because I thought that's not nice because if she does that at school, it's different now I'm not just going oh I want to hug, hug me. But I was like no, you mustn't say that's not nice to say I don't care about you. You wouldn't like if I said that to you, would you? And she said no, and she was going into preschool. and she's quite chatting confident for her age because she's trying to catch up with a sister all the time but like I would never expect

that much from her. You think that advances the second kid? Yeah I do but I think it does to a point but also then I think you get as a parent you get a a bit lazy and you just couple them in thagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagag and assume that she's as advanced and has developed as a six year old, but she isn't because she's still learning. She hasn't even gone to school yet properly. She's only in like part-time preschool where, you know, and stuff and where they just sort of let them play because you know a four-year-old can be so, they can't be so different that age. So I think I was just saying, I'm just not going great. to ask. to ask. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, to ask, to ask, to ask, to ask, to to ask, to to to to to to to to to to to to th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. th. She, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. She. She. thin. She, thin. th th th th thin, th tho. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. She's th. She's thell her off because you can't say that to people. That's not very nice. No, you can't say that, no. But yes, that's going great.

How about you? Do your kids care about you? They do, I think. I mean, you know, not as much as I'd like them to, but there we go. It's been all right with the kids tho' th, th, th, th, th, th, 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, to, to, to, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I. to. to, I. to. to. t. t. t. to, I. to, to, I. to, to, the, the, the, the, to, toda. tell, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me. to, the, tell, the, toda. to, to, I'm not impressed with that as a choice but it's not my decision Rob. Fair enough. But it's not even a book is it? It's not even a book. I don't care if there's spin-off books. You know, she's got a book that's got Elsa and Arnaa in, but that doesn't count, does it? Because that's a book of the movie. It's not the same thing, Rob. No. I I I I I I I I I I I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, the same. No. No. No. No, I's, I's, I's, I cheap outfit and you're in a rush getting them dressed, I've got no problems with it whatsoever. She's got an Elsa dress, let's just do it, let's bash her out, we're all happy, let's

move on. Yeah, exactly, that's fine. And what about the baby? Did you dress him up or just fine? No, of course not. I couldn't on a log. Nice. So one of them had a big dog onesy. I've just sent it to you. And we found like a little log teddy. Oh very good. That we sewed a sown a frog on to. Pee-yl. Did Lou make that hat? Yeah it's amazing, isn't her up she's a good one yeah it's not great it's great so basically it wasn't

that it was like she went to I got it from Hobbycraft like a green top hat and bought loads like stuff and found loads of stuff you know them weird stuff in a drawer it's just like a little plastic tore a little thing like a feather you know all the crap at the the whet the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. I I I I I I I I I they. You they. they. You're the they. they. You're the the the the the the the the they. It's they. It's just basically they. It's just basically 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. I I I I I was was was was was. I I I I was. I was. I I I was. I was I was.

It's thr-I's thr-I's thr-I's thr-I's thr-I's basically basically basically thr-I'm thr-I'm thr-I's basically basically thr-I's th bottom of the door. Basically you found all that and just glue-gunned it to the hat. It looks good, doesn't it? Incredible. That is so good. But yeah. She's done a great job there, Rob. She has under, I'll take the kids' faces out and I'll stick it on Instagram so you can see. Oh, can I talk to you about gymnastics? Yes. I'm actually interested in this because I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. I th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that is. That is. That is. That is. That is. That is. That is. That is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is so. that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is th. th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is th. It is the. It is th. It is the the th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th I sit back and just I think I think gymnastics is about to get the blacks the camping shop treatment is that fair right? No it's a question kids sport clubs and activities right yeah it seems very expensive to me unnecessarily personally so basically so basically you said gymnastics right my kids go

gymnastics on Saturday morning and it's really good they love it and stuff but it's like seven or eight quid a session for each of them for like 45 minutes, okay, which is fine. But they also individually have to be a member of the Gymnastics Club, which is, oh it's my watch, sorry. Rob, have you got a watch from the 80s? What's going on? It's a Casio, it's like a time, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's like, it's like, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, their. their. their. their, it's, it's, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their., their. their. their. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. thi. thi. th. they's a thi. they's a they's a their, their, their, the don't have to turn the alarm off so it goes off every day at 10 a.m. I'm really annoying. Anyway, so you have to pay about 16 pound a year to be a member of the gymnastics club, 16 pound a year to be a member of British gymnastics, right? And then they pay the 7, 8 quid

thi, but also three times a year they get assessed as part of the British gymnastics assessment level. Why? Which is seven quid. So basically if you pass your assessment you they come out of a little bit of paper that says your daughter has passed this certificate that if you want the certificate and the medal is seven quid, but if you don't you don't have to pay for it. Well you haven't got an option there. They've got you over a barrel Rob. Well exactly. So that they have you have to have to have the the the the the the th you have th you have the th. You have the th. You have the the th. You have th. You have th. You have th. You have th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi the the the the the thi. thi. the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. th barrel Rob. Well exactly so that they you have to do that three times a year which about seven quid to get their middle certificate but also alongside that the gymnastics club have their own level of assessment. There's also a fiver so you get another bit of paper that says oh for five quid they've done this level you get a certificate and a medal right i th th. i th. i th. i th. i th. i th. i th. i th. I th. I that's th. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that. that. thi. that. that. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.

A. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. too much assessment as well. Well yeah I just sort of think if you're part of the British Gymnastic Society, you either you choose that one or you choose the

Gymnastic Club one. You don't need both. It's double then, isn't it? It's a racket. And also as well, kids can read so if you write that on a bit of paper and you come out, they know what's their thinn't they're their their their their their th... th. th. th. th. thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin'a'a'a'a'er's tho'a'a'er's their thrass. thogeau'er's thogeau'er's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.. their you're their you're their. to choose. to choose. toda' c. toda' c. toda'-c. toda'-c. today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's today's'm going to get a medal now. But why don't they just email that to the parents because if you can't afford it it so unfair on families that can't, I've got like four brothers we couldn't, my mom couldn't afford to send all to gymnastics and do that. And I just think it's mad money don't you but is that normal is that happening in Taekwondo in football. It didn't have happening kiddiekicks. that. that. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's the the their th. It's th. It's their th. It's th. It's their th. It's their th. It's their th. It's th. It's th.

And then we've also had a letter going, oh, there's a big gymnastics competition if your child wants to come. It's 28 quid or something to enter, six quid for the spectators and you've got to buy an official leotard.

That's a fucking racket. It's run by the cranes. Just fucking fucking why, just run run run run run run, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, the their. Foy. Just, their.

Oh, their but can I have a spectator thing for six quid and see how that goes down I'm just gonna I'm just gonna turn up without them yeah yeah I'm gonna come alone as a spectator and do you have adult sizes for the leotards I'd quite like to wear some of the merch whilst I'll watch on my own also can I just add Saturday morning it's a to be a to thi to thi's what's th th th th th th th tho th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the tho that that the that that that the that tho tho' tho' to to to to tho the the their to to to to to to to to their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their tho tho tho tho tho 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 tho. they. they. tho's they. the Chill out! How many assessments are you doing in a year? This isn't fucking Ofsted? What's going on? I know, so basically you're looking at 70 quid a year for memberships and assessments plus the seven quid a week. It could be 500 quid a year. But if you want them to be the next Beth Tweedl, you've got to throw

the money out here Rob. I don't. I don't. Also, and I mean no disrespect to your daughters, Rob, by now you'd know if they were going to be a top gymnast. Do you know what I mean? She's only four. Also four, what are you assessing at four? She'd be spinning around those bars at four if she was going to compete with the Soviets. Well, exactly. I'll report back, because if they start doing like double back flips, it might be worth your money. But at the moment, all they do is clap their hands, jump in the air and clap their

hands again. Imagine saying to your daughters, you haven't got the potential as a gymnast for me to invest any more money in this. But also, look, that's how sports are funded, though, so that money will, thi, the money, the money, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is and all the money's going in and you're it's almost like you're supporting a sport as well as next time you see Max Whitelock when a gold medal Robbillow. Yeah well I've messaged him about it actually. I'm part of that I'm part of you mess you know I've met him I've met him I said yeah I said uh mate my kids are started gymnastics to buy a medal situations a complete racket and he just said he in a the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 is. th is.

I'm the. to ty to to ty. ty. ty te good. Ha ha, what club are they going to? And then I was just chatting to him about the club.

And I said, you've got to set up a club, mate. You'll be a billionaire in a year. He went, I know what you mean. Hope they're enjoying it. It's sort of parrying it. to be, the courses and stuff for other sports, let us know what you think, or if you've had experiences, what's the cost of taekwondo? What's the cost of the-coasting? What's the cost of equestrian?

Let's try and find the most expensive sport your kid can do, whichever neat table. So if you are on a budget that month. A question's got to be up their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to be up. Equa. Equa. Equa. Equa. Equi. Equi. Equi. Equiqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqa. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's. What's.

I don't think you buy the horse. I think you go in with a place's goals. If you're kids, if your kids are interquestrian, within two years, Rob, you're buying a fucking horse, well, I suppose the is just what it's like and I'm new to it,

but it just seems a bit much, especially if you're in a budget. Did you do many of these things when you're a kid? I wasn't really a club kid. I played football every week and then I had a play for a Sunday league team, but we used to play subbs, but we used to play subsist, but that th, but th, but, but, but, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th and th and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th and thus, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, to to thu, th know, I should ask my mom like we had like medals at the end of the year, but I don't remember paying for one. I certainly don't remember getting a bit of paper. Gymnastics feels a bit more like that assessmenty world than football, doesn't it? Yeah. Do you know why it is, Rob? What? Because they know you're going to play football tho'er.

they know, I think it's you this? His kids are an academy, a football academy. Oh yeah. And he's like the age where they can't officially sign them till the following year, so they find out this May whether he gets signed. All right. How old? How old? He was like, I really hope he doesn't get signed because this is insane what we're doing. we're already doing four nights a week plus he has to play Saturday and Sunday for his club team. And he's just going to, he's just taking over his childhood in our life.

And he's probably they're not going to make it anyway. Do you know what I mean? That's the mad thing about it. It's hard to say from seven something, be so, I have to be so dedicated to one thing, you know what I mean? Exactly. to be so have have have have have have have have have have have have so have so have so have to have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so have so, I have so have so, I have so to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, so, so, so, so, so, so have to be so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so to be so, so to be so, so to be so, so, so to be so to be so to be so, so to be so to be so to be so to be so, to be so to be so to be so, to be so, to be so to be so, to be so, to be so, I to be so, I'm to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, I have to be so, to be so, a relief. I've got no sporting genes to pass on. Well, I'm quite keen on doing lots of different stuff all the time and keep trying new things. I think that's what helps you grow as a person. And then if you, if stuff does go wrong, it doesn't work out for you. I think that's work for me in my job. The amount of shows I've done this is still going. They can't cancel us, Rob, we're still here. You can only cancel ourselves. Exactly. Oh, do we do a couple of emails and then a small business shoutout, Josh? Yes, why not?

I've got some good Instagrams on Longest Grudges. Oh, I love a Long Grudge. Okay, we got this one here. Hi guys. In response to your question, I'm, to, to, the, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, their, their, tho, tho, th. tho and a decision I made of it. It was England's 2004 qualify versus Turkey. It finished nil and it meant we qualify for the tournament, but the match by poking Beckham it in the face as they ran off. Immediately after seeing this live on the tele, I vowed never to visit Turkey ever in my life. And nearly 20 years later, despite lots of recommendations from friends, I have and still never will. No! Including a friend's wedding! What?

That's insane! That's insane! I added that bit in. Can we add bits in to make it better? Yeah, yeah, why not? No, but he didn't say that, but I thought that would be good. Yeah. I bet the Turkish tourist board are furious with Al Pye for his actions and the possible one or two weeks of me spending in their country has cost them. It will teach them never Simon from Somerset. That's mad. Because I don't, we're sporting grudges. Like during the match, I think I'm never gonna ever forgive this team for this. And then within a day, I'm totally over it. Totally over it.

Well, these people aren't. I've got a couple, I've got some great ones here. Hi Rob and the subject of grudges. Watford FC fan and our rivals are Luton. He has never and will never own a Voxel car as they used to make them in Luton. This has been for the last 50 years he has now 67 refusal to Voxel. That is incredible. Well do you know that I think like Rangers and Celtic used to who hate each other who are both guys go clubs. For our listeners I know you're awaythat, Rob. They used to have the same sponsor because you couldn't sponsor one of them because you'd lose half of the Glasgow.

Really? Yeah, it would sponsor both clubs because it was the only way that you could sponsor them without losing a load of business as well as gaining it. Oh wow, because they'd boycott it love a football grudge.. It's like I genuinely, I won't use any product recommended off menu. It's just unacceptable. You've not eaten out for years. Do you know what, whatever food they mentioned that week, I refuse to eat it. I like that commitment to this podcast, Josh.

This is a longstanding grudge against Sting from a trumpeter. Oh, yes, please. I've got a grudg, a grudge, a grudge, a grudge, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a grudg, a gudg, a gudg, th, thu, th, th, I'm a th, I'm a th, I'm thi, I'm a th, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to, I'm, I'm, I'm, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's is. It's is. It's is. It's is. It's is. It's is. th. th. It's is. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th th th th th th th th th th th thi. th thi. th thi. thi. thi, it's just just just just just just toeeter. Oh, yes, please. I've got a grudge that's more longstanding than my life. My uncle's a trumpeter, and in 1989, it was booked by Sting to go on his world tour, then dropped at the last minute, it was the year before I was born, but the grudge must be in my blood, because to this day, despite my uncle having a very successful trumpeter, Turn over the radio at the merest hint of an Englishman in New York. And we tut and roll our eyes if he's ever mentioned on TV. It's entirely out of proportion, but it's been so long now it'll be impossible to gaily well to a chorus of Roxanne Guiltfree. Thanks for the sexiness, this is the first relatable thing you've ever said, Rebecca. Oh, thank you Rebecca.

We'll do one more grudge and then small business share. This one's from anonymous but it's a good one. So when I was a baby my mom took me to a mother and baby group and as babies do one of the little girls pushed me over and made me cry and refused to say sorry. Her mom didn't push her on it and she never apologized and I was very upset. Living in a small town almost 30 years later my mom was informed that this girl has joined the law firm she works at. So my mom works on a switchboard, and the baby pusher is a solicitor. Any calls to come through for the girl are always put on a very long hold by my mom before she eventually passes them through.

Incredible! So at least three or four times a day,the girl has a deal with impatient and annoyed clients they've just had to sit through several minutes of hold music. Oh, that is great. Serves her right for not so sorry. That is a good one, and here. Yeah, that is a good one, and that is a good one, and that's a perfect one to end them. Oh, well, one about you here, Josh and Michael, I. form of contraception. I thought I'd message about an encounter my boyfriend's brother had the other week. Whilst out for a walk he was minding his own business when a little girl dressed as a princess came running around the corner laughing and ran past. Whilst watching this unfolder and preparing to call for a parent and say who's got this child,

he turned to find the one and only Mr. Widdocom quickly hurrying after her. No. Guessing it was a hard day of parented. And as to. to say hello, there was always a time and a place and whilst chasing after your child, we know it isn't the time or place. That's Georgie and George. Did she say where it was? No, it didn't actually. Somewhere in London I imagine. Well, there we go. Dressed as a Princess World Day probably. I've got a small business shout out here. Oh we have got a th got a th. I th. I th.

People can get in touch with us on Facebook at Pedro Pet Poo. Pedro is the name of our family dog and our little boy's best friend. It's great being out and about helping people with their beloved pets. We love the jobs. You hate. Thanks from Alex. There you go. That's good. Yeah, I suppose, yeah, if you are a bit older, it's, it's a long way down for a big scoop of shit. And if you're not steady in your feet feet, you, you, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's great thi's great thiii's great thiiiiii's great thii's great thi's great thi's great thi's thi, th't be doing that, do you?

That is the last thing. And it does ruin your lawn. So if they can sort the lawn out after, that's good, isn't it? So yeah, Pedro's Pet Poo Services in Middlesbrough. Obviously the current situation in Ukraine is horrible. There are charities that are looking for kids' clothes and other kids' stuff for all the people displaced from the Ukrainian war. So that is a good thing to do if you've got other stuff. Do you know what? One of my friends has just become a parent and I said I've got loads of stuff and now

they've got to make that decision. Do they want that stuff? Or you're going to take it out of your Ukraine donation pile? So that's up to them. Do you want the stuff to be taken out of my Ukraine donation pile? Also if you want to help there's a on cameo, Ed Gamble's on cameo and he's taking messages so you can pay about 45 pounds or $45 for Ed Gamble to do a message and all the proceeds will go to the Ukrainian people and the people suffering over there. So you can maybe ask him to do a message bigging up the parenting podcast. That might be quite a fun thing to do. Yeah, that'd be good. Do you do that.

I've done one and I've done one't even speak and then he sent me a message going, you fuck up, you've brought my review average down. And I went, oh God, Rob. And I said, well you didn't speak, so then he said another one telling me to fuck off. But all the money's going to a good cause. So I got two out of him in the end, but yeah, and I can't delete the review It won't let me change the review, so if you look at his reviews, they're all like, five stars, thanks, Ed, brilliant, well done, great calls, you're a good guy, and then one Rob, one star that says he didn't even speak.

Oh God, well, do you know, I think we've rebalanced that because nowthe money for the Ukraine. All right. It's been an absolute pleasure to see Friday.
