And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs.

Starting point is 00:00:32 and member terms apply. Hello I'm Rob Beckett and I'm Josh Willickham. Welcome to Parent in Hell the show in which Josh and I discuss what is really like to be a parent which I would say can be a little tricky. So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting each week we're chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course, tales of parenting woe.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing. Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hill with. parenting hill with? Can you say Rob Beckett? Can you say Josh Widdickham? Well, we did be. Well done. There we go. That's a good one. I felt it was too harsh last week. I was too, I was tired Josh.
Starting point is 00:01:39 You came out the blocks, didn't you? Yeah, really, I feel bad. I want to apologize to that kid and the mom but I'm not gonna. I want to but I'm not gonna no I'm sorry that was harsh that was a good one who was that Josh? Hello Robin Josh this is a clip of my two-year-old daughter Erin for your intro I've been listening to your podcast for 18 months and I love it especially for all the laughs, I sometimes wonder what people must think, should they see me laughing away in my car to myself? I think in the car is not the worst place, is it? No, it depends if you're a cab driver. If you're a minigab driver, and you're a loud podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Ha ha ha ha ha! Shut up and drive. It's not an area where I don't think I've ever heard a podcast when I've got into a cab. It's not cracked the cab market, has it, the podcasts. In the same way Hart FM has. Yeah, that goes, do you mind that? Do you mind that? Where if they went, I'm just listening to football, like, football weekly, is that all right? Just got his, um, that, that, the funny bloke and his annoying mate talking to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard to Richard Osmond about soup. Just listen to real dictators.
Starting point is 00:02:47 It's a seven-partner about Joseph Stalin. Are you okay with that? Anyway, my husband and I recently started a pom-pom jar for Erin, which is working a treat, and we're off to buy her first present tomorrow now that it's full, a mini trampoline as per her request. Thank you for making car journeys and along commutes to work so entertaining. This is a surname, Becky K-O-R-Z-N-I-E-W-S-K-I-I-S-K-I. You, you lost me at K-I-L-K-I-K-I-K-L-K-I-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK-KKKKKKKKKK, the-K, the-K. KK. KK.

You lost me at like, kind of the first two letters there.
Starting point is 00:03:26 My head has started, don't you? Becky, from Great Manchester. There we go. Oh, that's nice, isn't it, Josh. Do you know what I've realized? I think my kids are too old for Bonn-Bom Jails already. Are they? It moves, kids. It moves, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to, to. to, to, to. to, to, th. to, th. to the the, to the to to-a. to-I. to-I. to-I. to-I. to-I. to-I. to-I. to-I. to. impossible. You think, you basically think you've got something now. Yeah, and it doesn't, it doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And then not even you or the kid changes. Now at the moment, and I think everyone's having this, it is, it's lovely isn't it, when it's bright at night, when it's near solstice, but it's not when children are sleeping. the dimensions, Rob. It's too hot in our house. It's too... I bought a fan for my daughter's room. Yeah. Didn't check the dimensions, Rob. What you got? Is it Boeing? Made by Boeing. I envisaged. I know, I envisaged one of the ones that you put on the floor that's big and tall. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Oh, look, like, with a classic big round thing with a cage on. No, no, no it's well do you know what I'll send you I'll send you the picture so I bought a fan right oh fuck it I'm so tired Rob what I was I should have been worried because because the company's called Dr. Prepare which doesn't doctor prepare it doesn't doctor prepare it doesn't it doesn't strike you as a... It's not Sony, is it? No, Doctor Prepare. How you spelling Prepare?
Starting point is 00:04:50 How you spelling Prepaire? Like, how you're spelling prepare? Like, if you went to see a doctor and his surname was Prepare, like... Doctor Prepare! So I've just sent you a picture my Doctor Prepare. Wouldn't you imagine that that's massive? Oh that looks, that's double, 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 thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's thi, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's to to to to to to to, 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, it's not.

It's two fans on top of each other with Doctor Prepare. How much was Dr. Prepare? Um, 2699?
Starting point is 00:05:12 2699, that's fair enough, yeah, sure. It was available to arrive the next day. That's what put Doctor Prepare at the tue, thrown, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, to, that, tho, tho, tho, the, the, tho, to, tho, the, the, the, the, the, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, with, to, with, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to, to, to to to to, to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the their, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to their, to to each night counts in the fan world. And GP waiting times are normally long. Yeah, they're lovely. But what worries me about Dr. Prepare is, Josh, that they do so many different weird things? Have you gone on to the Doctor and Prepare website? Well, so this is what's very odd about Dr. Prepare. Dr. Prepare's got the fan, yeah. They've also got a heated eye mask with an electric, USB, cotton eye,
Starting point is 00:05:48 compress heating pad. So, yeah. Okay, and also, Dr. Prepare, camping shower. 15 later. Well, they've got that as well, actually. The doc.

Starting point is 00:06:15 Doctor prepare, boot dry, a shoe dryer. What the fuck is a shoe dryer? I've got a terrible feeling Dr. Prepared is often on QVC. It's got that feeling doesn't it? Do you want to see the fan in situ? Rob so you can get a feeling for how big it is? Yeah. Okay here it is. That is a pathetic. Is that propped up on a on a chair as well? I've put it on a little wicker chair, yeah. That's so small. It's about the size on Alexa. It is, yeah, I reckon if I, with my mouth, which is large,
Starting point is 00:06:52 if I just blew on your daughter, she'd be cooler than that fan. Well, that would be quite a weird thing if I said. Don't worry about sleeping tonight. My friend's coming around to blow on you. Yeah, call me doctor cancelled. Hi I'm Dr. Nonce I'm just here to blow in your child for 26 pounds. Flaffy. Doctor Prepare. Doctor prepare also does heated socks. I tell you what, Dr. Prepared don't know if you want to be hot or cold does it? You can get through the whole year with just doctor

It has been, it has. Yeah, well, the heat's not ideal, but also the sunlight is not, but what's annoying is Josh, so yesterday there was a massive thunderstorm in the south of England so we're recording this Friday for the Tuesday episode and it was absolutely torrential rain in the morning we sent up the kids off with kuguls like I walked in with the umbrella and then by midday it was 25 degrees and I'm like well my kid's face is burning you can't put suncreen on a kid's face in the rain. It's hard enough to put cream on a kid on a beach in Spain when it's they're actually, you can actually see their skin crisping up. They'll
Starting point is 00:08:11 still refuse that they want it. So when a kid is 8 a.m. and it's raining on it's raining, there's no kid will let you put cream on the face. Yes I can say that? A nursery? A nursery? Yeah, you can say what you want, Rob. It's the Wild West of Podcast. I wouldn't say it wouldn't say it on this morning, but um... That fan is pathetic. It does say desktop. It says office, desktop bedroom. I wasn't reading properly. But you think double fan it would be bigger. Exactly. It did work though. It did work. My daughter's sleeping times are all over the fucking shop in this heat, Rob. So what's what's what she's dealing? What you're getting dealt with? Well my son, I'll give you my son's last four days. Yep. 8 a.m. Insane.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So what times he going to bed, sorry? Uh, 645 maybe? That's good. So I am. Right. Jesus. 8.m. Tuesday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Last hour of which I thought he was dead, obviously, classic. Uh, Wednesday. Can't relax us. Sitting up to us hoping for the best. Yeah. 5.55 a.m. Thursday, 5.55 a. This morning, 7.30 a.m. That is not a consistent wake-up time. So is that your son or daughter? Son? Right, okay. But you said he's been doing well and your daughter's all over the place. Well, she gets up when he does basically, because right. he screamed himself awake, the classic. So she's been up at 555 for two mornings and then 730th morning. I don't know where I am with it Rob. Well, what's, so our kids, right? I've been away working quite a lot.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I'm back home now, I'm sort of, I'm back from that long shift of working a lot. And so my mom and dad came up to sort of help Lou with the kids at the weekend, Lou had some appointments to go to bits of work so they had the kids and they stayed over and my kids wake up literally like my young eldest wakes up at like five a.m. and she literally comes and goes you're all right what we're doing like but but buzzing for the day just like and then we have to send her back for a bit and then she went in about six and when she went in about in about in about in 76. They come down. You know when someone's been in a car accident and it's not been a bad one but they're all shook up and their airs and a bit wild-eyed? My parents are just walking around the house like that. They've been woken up at five every day. They look like, we're taking off about five years of their life at this stage. They're too old 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 to be to be to be to be their to be their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their. to to. to. to be woke up but early. They're too old to play with five years. I mean...
Starting point is 00:10:46 Yeah, so like, and I said to him, because my cousins, you know, my niece and nephew, but my cousins, Baham and dad look after them as well. And I said, oh is this what they're like as well? No, no. Rob. So they've got your, they've got your early gene, haven't they basically? That's come from you. No, no, they've got the worst. They've got the worst. They've got Loo's early gene, Lou gets up early, right? They've got my energy, but also they've got my night owl as well. Oh my god. They don't sleep. So essentially they don't sleep. I've got two Margaret Fatchers knocking about. Oh my word. Not've got even more. Yeah, so they've got, they grow lights for indoor plants, obviously. But this is it. What we do. Here we go. For our most loved tower fans, for the burning heat to the popular heated apparel that braves the chill,
Starting point is 00:11:35 our product development's motivation remains unchanged. That is by integrated advanced thermal and cooling technology, with user-centered design. We strive to deliver a wide range of efficient DC powered electric devices for applications in homes, businesses, journeys and dolls houses. We specialize in borrowers, I'm joking. Because it was small, it's good joke. Oh yeah no no no, no, it's that's that's not. They seem all right. Doctor prepare but be careful. Yeah well they've got more advertising than the people that pay us to advertise. I don't know how to fuck you Dr. Repair. Sorry. I'm going to that, you know that I've owned about DPD? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Um, they've run me up. I went, my boss, his boss was, uh, he went, he went, the blow, hello, I went, yes, he went, he went, my boss, his boss, listen. We'll drop around a pa. No way, incredible. Am I going to get a huge fan from Dr. Prepare? I'm a bit worried now. Maybe, maybe companies are giving me slightly bad service, so I moan about it on ear and then they save face and then they get a shout out, maybe it's a double bluff. Maybe they're doing it all purplus.
Starting point is 00:12:37 That's what it is. They're playing us, Rob. I actually ordered a big fan and Doctor Prepare and knew if they sent they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they were they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they sent a hilariously small one we talk about it for let's be honest too long. Way too long let's talk about something else. My daughter's got a teddy she took into school a triceratops she's called him Mr. Hornie. Oh yes please. Oh yes please. What did you say when she said that? I just went, oh that's a great name.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Dr. Horney. And yeah, so she's got a little teddy called Dr. Horne, which is quite a good fun. And Mr. Horny, what I call it, Dr. Horney? Mr. Horney. What I couldn't, Dr. Horney? Dr. Horney? Dr. Horne. Dr. Horney was that character he used to do, when, w. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. to. Dr. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to, to. H. Hork.

When you first started out in stand-up, he used to do the character of Dr. Horney, didn't you? It didn't work very well. What does Possible sound like for your business? It's having to spend to power your scale with no preset spending limit. Redefine possible with business platinum. That's the powerful backing of American Express. Terms and conditions apply.
Starting point is 00:13:41 to amx.C.A. slash business platen. Oh, the other thing they keep doing is call shows before bed. They're getting a bit like... Cool shows? Where what they do is now, they know, they're really like into... They've got the middle-werey. Like Jeremy Vine on Radio 2, cool shows. Cool show. No, not-00L where they play music and they dance and wear sunglasses and sing along and it's really cute and it's really. they're young, they're four and six, it's really cute. But all I can think of, I've got
Starting point is 00:14:18 this now for 10 to 15 years, but at some point they're going to take it really serious and I have to pretend it's great. Do you know what I mean? You've got two little performers on your hands Rob? I think one I could farm off to athletics. The younger one is desperate to do sport all the time. So maybe they can channel the energy that way so then we've only got one performer to deal with. Oh mate, your life is going to be afternoon. to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their life their life their life. their life. their life. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, thoomomorrow, thi. Oh, thiolomeomeomea'er, thoompera'er, thoompera' performance. Oh, thoompera, thoomper. Oh, thoomper. Oh, thoomper. Oh, thoomper. Oh, thoom. Oh, tho.

So, to to be afternoon, go and sit by the swimming pool for a two hours while your daughter and do you know when swimmers train, Rob? What? Six AM. So she'll be up for it. I get quite claustrophobic in swimming pools, I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Yeah, I don't like it's too hot. It's a, do you know what, if would have had it removed from the amount of product platerment we've done in this episode. It's absolutely insane. The BBC would be going to start craving madrope. Yeah, but we can do what we want. We're allure on to our sales shop. We want to slag off a fan? We can't a shoe rack that needs a bit of fucking, this can'tturn into basically what's done when we moan about what's happened in their life about

Starting point is 00:19:07 and have a wave. Oh you're gonna mention it on stage? Yeah I might do. But yeah I might let them come out and have a little wave. Yeah, absolutely get the audience on side. I mean the audience are on side. Don't get me wrong. They've paid to see you. What they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they'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're they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to come come come come come to come. to come to come come come come come come come come come come to come come come come. to to to to to they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to they've paid to come and see me and they're not convinced. That they'll go, it's probably true actually. There's always half like that. Maybe we should laugh because his daughters are here, we don't embarrass him, that kind of thing. What are you gonna do? If it's the best bit of the show and then you have to take them on tour? No, not happening. about how good it is. Yes, you know what's really difficult is when you do do tours, you get people that like you but also like anything, like we all know this, you've always people who go, oh I've
Starting point is 00:19:49 got a spare ticket to this thing, I've done it with bands before and I've done it with these, I don't really like these, and you get those people in the crowd and they sit there and it's normally like a husband, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, 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, they, like, like, they, like, like, like, like, like, like, the show and then over the show that you could sort of see him going, I actually know what it's pretty funny this bloc come into this and then they've uncrossed her arms they're really laughing and you get you go fucking hell you're well done Rob you managed to make everyone that they're to their to the end they're absolutely definitely sure they're never coming again. Because it can always goes one or the other way. Those arms can become crossed and tighter and tighter I say sit there going fuck this but that's that's that's the person you focus on in the crowd and it. Yeah do you do you look at so I I have as little light on the crowd as possible because I
Starting point is 00:20:43 find it distracting to be able to see people individually. No, I like the light on them, not loads, but I like to see him so I can talk to him, yeah. I like to stare into the abyss. Do you do crowd work? Yeah, your eyes are just so you can always see the first few rows. Yeah, your eyes. Your eyes are got bad eyes. My mom's had detached retinas.
Starting point is 00:21:06 My dad's cataracts. You know what's going to go first on you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. What's going to go on you? Neck? It's gone. Neck.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Nke's gone. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. their. 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. I. I'm. I.

I'm. t t t t t t t t t t t t the the the the the the the the the the the the last few weeks. Let's listen from... We've burned ourselves out, mate. We've burned ourselves out. I'm just going to check whether I've got anything more I need to say. I haven't, no. I love the honesty. No, no. No.
Starting point is 00:21:35 No. No. Yeah, just check there. No, nothing. Nothing from me. I've got a couple of good celebs in small places. Oh, yeah, so you know we said Drake in Walsall, was it? No, it was true. No.
Starting point is 00:21:52 There's an article here. Drake goes shopping at Co-op in Walsall after his Birmingham gigs. So where's he off to? Well, back to the airport if he's popped to just get a crisps or some drinks on the way back from his arena show. Yeah. I doubt he's staying in Walsall. No, no, I just think it's a great city. Anything's a fucking city, you know, stay in Walsh. So Drake in Walsh is true. But do you know the most interesting thing about that is he's decided to pop out of the
Starting point is 00:22:19 tour bus or whatever he's in, presumably a custom kind of limo, himself, he doesn't, he wants to see the full range in the co-op, doesn't he? He wants to choose for himself. Well, I reckon what's happened is, he's gone, hey man, give me some Cheetos and a mounding due. And the bloke's got in there and he's seen Ridgecut? Oh, your job's on the line if you take Drake a packet of Watsitz instead of Cheetos, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. So I reckon his guys come back and he went, look Drake, you're going to have to come in. He's ain't out there. Every crisp flavor is grab bag. This is a good one here. In 2014 when people still liked him, I think people still like him, we saw Elon Musk in a John Lewis cafe in Cribbs, Causeway, Bristol. They just opened
Starting point is 00:23:14 a Tesla showroom in the shopping centre. It was a surreal experience seeing him have a brew in good old Johnny Looze, Michaela Nottingham. I think people like Elon Musk. Elon Musk. Why don't you like Elon Musk? Oh are we meant to not like him by Twitter? I think people like Elon Musk. That is a good one. Elon Musk in the John Lewis cafe. Why don't you like Elon Musk? Oh, are we meant to not like him buying Twitter, but I don't care because I don't like Twitter? Are we meant to not like him buying Twitter? Why aren't you allowed to? Why aren't you allowed to? Why isn't you're allowed to? Why don't you to think? Do you know what I mean? Because sometimes it's not about thinking the right thing, it's about knowing to have the right reaction to something.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah. Do you know what, Rob? I'm going to add it to, do you remember you used to do things you don't care about? Yeah. Who owns social media companies is number one. It's top of my listen every Tuesday and Friday. On the subject of big celebrities and small places, I once saw Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and all six kids going to see Smurfs 3D in the Little Odeon cinema across the road from Pizza Express in Richmond. What? Richmond I buy? Do you know what I mean? I buy that they'd be in R Yeah. Off to see Smirfs. They're probably, I don't know what they were going for the film or to adopt one, but they were there for the Smars. That is a lovely bit of business, Rob, really nice. Is that good?
Starting point is 00:24:29 That one bad off the fly, was it? No, it's very good. Because I don't know if it's, I don Lewis? Come on guys, we've got to come up with something. I think, I'm going to allow that one, but I think the fact it's in Richmond, which is a very affluent area of London. Yeah, exactly. Because there was a new story about, do you remember during Wimbledon one year, there was a new story about Raffan Adal struggling to use a self-check out in like in like, like, like, like, like, like All England Club in Wimwood. Um, okay, what else we got? Okay, so I thought there was
Starting point is 00:25:09 a into that story? Oh no, no, no, I was just talking about people that you... I thought there was a self-checkout joke coming. Oh, no, there wasn't. What, what unexpected? I don't know. I don't know. I'm it it it it it it it it it's it's it's it's item. I'm it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's. I'. I'm. I'm the item.

What th. I is turned into two comedians trying to do a pastiche of two comedians doing bad jokes, but actually it's just two comedians not doing very funny. It's all gone wrong. It's all gone wrong. It's hard to create a character that is very close to home. What would two unfunny comedians say now? Let me think...
Starting point is 00:25:41 Let me get into character. I genuinely... I'm too tired on comics do now. Oh, give me a minute. Let's see what I've got. I'll dig deep for you, Josh. I'm thinking about Raffin and Elon Musk and John Lewis. I just don't think there is a... I just can't ever come up with a joke with this. This is... I've got nothing. I've literally got nothing.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Give me another one. I've got a person in a place? Yeah, I'll try and come up with a joke. All right, Alan Titchmarsh in Ocean Beach, I bea. You've made this, no, no one to do a joke on it. Oh no no no. I'm sorry, yeah, but I'll be honest, I was so excited when you said that someone had written in that they saw Alan Tinchmarsh no, it should be their fiefen. Oh, dear. I've got some Boomer parenting.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I've got some boomer parenting if you want one of them. Yeah go on, see some boomer parenting. The hire Rob and Josh, boomer parenting in 1979, my ma'am and dad saw it fit to put a lock on my bedroom door on the outside. Oh my word. Oh my word. Oh my word. Oh my word. So I didn't fall down the stairs. That is incredible. But looking back, what the actual fuck? What if there was a fire?
Starting point is 00:27:05 That is mad. That's like in a prison. When they do like lights down? Yeah. In a prison? Lights down, like mood lighting. Hey guys, lights out, lights down. that's down.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Hey guys, should we like drop the light in a little bit and get cozy? Yeah, should we get comfort? Should we get snugly for a bit before them go sleep? Lights down, guys, put a candle on, yeah. There you go, Gary, yep, sure, no worries, mate. Can you stop shooting up that junk? Yeah, there's no, stop, stop, just, yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:48 here we go I've got some enough some more boomer parenting and some a trivaling advice here's a boomer one this one's quite intense there's a two-parter here hi Robin Josh my dad was a firm believer in the half school of life god he sounds fun I have so many stories I have so many a th for th a th for th for th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm a th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th.

I'm a the. I'm a the. I'm a the. the. the. theat. theat. theat. theat. theat. theeat. theee. thee. the. the. the. have so many stories it's hard to pick out here's a few examples. Do you know what I think I'm complete opposite about that. I'm a further living lots of love and actually just try to enjoy life as much as possible because it's really difficult anyway. Yeah why not make life as easy as you can? Because it's difficult enough as it is. Let's not add hurdles. Yeah life's really hard and the negative voice in your brain will constantly tell you you're failing at it.
Starting point is 00:28:26 So do you know what we need? Tough love and some harsh school lessons. Hucking! Hey dad, I'm a little bit nervous and anxious about things. Fucking good, welcome to the club. It's the harsh life. Everything you think bad's going to happen will now prepare for it. That's not my mentality.
Starting point is 00:28:46 No, no. Anyway, this is this from Holly. Here's the first one. When I was nine, my sister was eight. He decided we need to go on a wilderness survival mission. He blindfolded us and drove us to a remote location in the middle of nowhere at dusk. He gave us a map and that was all.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Our food and shelter for the night was at a location we had to find. What? This was all before the time of mobile phones. Eight and nine. I know. After being chased by dogs and getting very where... What? Where is it chased by dogs?
Starting point is 00:29:16 We saw a car in the distance and hid behind a tree. It turned out my not very happy mother had sent my dad out to check on us. Oh she didn't fucking turn up did she? I thought she was going to come and get you. He didn't however take us home he pointed us in the right direction. At around midnight we found our camp for the night and we were helped to light a fire. It was so cold my sister slept too close to the fire and rolled into the embers and set fire to the duck downed. The concern was not for her safety, but instead for my dad's sentimental university sleeping bag. Look, no offence Holly, he sounds like a fucking lunatic. This is going to end with. He's a lovely man. He's a lovely man. I wouldn't stop him for the world. Also, I think this, do you know where this feature ends up? Some sort of court case and we give evidence. Yeah, exactly. Part two. In a, in a... This is the same lady, in a th. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, sounds, their, their, sounds, the, sounds, the,, in a, this is the same lady. In another pocket money related boomer parenting story, my dad decided we needed to learn how to invest. So around
Starting point is 00:30:10 six we had to take a loan from him to buy a, I can't even say this out, I think this is a wind up. Well, let's check a loan from him and he end up knee capping me and repossessing my... Wait, you will never guess what the loan's for, all right? We had to take a loan from him to buy a pig and its food. What? We had to care for the pig. Sorry, who's this? Jack in the bean store? What's going on? We had to care for the pig and clean it out. When it was ready to be killed the to to the pig, to be, the pig, to be, to, the to, to, the to, the the to, to, the to, and, and, the the the to, and, and, the the to, to, and, and, the to, the to, to, to, the to, the to, the to, the to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananan, tooa, the tooa, the tooa, tooanananananananananananananne, toe ready to be killed, we had to assist getting the fondly named Katie Pig into the trailer. Then we had to sell the meat to my dad's mate and repay the loan we took.
Starting point is 00:30:50 So at six and five, my sister were most excited. That's the age of your children, Rob, basically. Imagine this happening. Well, we wouldn't end up killing it out. I'm just a today. We wouldn't end up killing the pig the pig the pig the pig the pig the pig the pig. We. We're killing the pig. We're killing the pig killing the pig killing the pig. We. We're killing the pig killing the pig killing the pig. We, we. We, we. We, the pig. We, the pig. We, the pig. We, we're killing the pig. We're killing the the to kill killing the pig.

We were very excited to make over a hundred pound. I'm not however suggesting any of these options for your children. P.S. we lived on a housing estate for context. From Holly, Holly, east wing of Broadmoor. Okay, so it's it turned out well. No, that's not just from Holly. That's mental. So where's a the pig. the pig. the pig. the pig. the pig. the pig. that. that. the pig. that. that. that. that. the pig. that. that. the pig. that. th. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. We're th.

That's mental. So where's the pig on the councillor's state? That sounds like a riddle. That sounds like an inspirational quote that you have to think about to understand.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Sorry, I thought I was on the Stephen Bartlett podcast, not us. So guys, what's your advice for the next little here, what's your advice for the next person that comes on? Where's the pig on the council's like, sure, yeah, great. It's really, it's really inspiring. Are they losing their garden? Just for the pit, like. I don't know why, but something's telling me the balcony.

Might be a balcony, might be a garden, might be a shared yard, but yeah, that's Holly there who didn't caveat that message with, it's actually a really great guy, so reading to that what you will.

I've got a tip for traveling with children and it works like a dream especially on longer flights or train journeys. Go to pound land or a pound store for cheap presents, buy a present for every half an hour of your journey. So the cost is very low. Wrapp them up in the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their. their. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh............................................................................................................................................................ of the journey, the child gets to, if they are behaving, unwrap a present of their choice. Obviously, they're getting a reward for good behavior, but it's an excellent blackmail for traveling calm and quietly. Don't use the word blackmail, we're all thinking it, but don't use the word blackmail,
Starting point is 00:33:42 that would be my advice. Just, yeah, yeah. We're all doing it. Yeah, it is blackmail. Let's not, let's not vocalize the word blackmail. That's what I think. It's encouraging them to do what you want for a, for a fee. Yeah.

When the teacher brought my two-year-old son through the door, I smiled, waved, held my arms out, a stretch and shouted, Hello, sexy boy! Oh no!
Starting point is 00:34:33 Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh, no! horror what I just said to style it out I tried to make it look like I was addressing the teacher by quickly following up with well actually you're a girl which made it even worse and she looked horrified oh my god that's just mortified I then change the subject you've got to leave the night of course you've heard of they haven't that's all they've talked about since his happen I then I then change the subject to how many the they they they they they they they they they they they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've th th I th I th I th I th I've tho tho tho the the the they've tho tho tho the the they've that's all that's all they've that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all that's all they haven't they haven't they haven't they haven't they haven't they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they're they're they're their their their their their their they're their their their they've their they've they've their they're they've they're they've they're they've they're they're they're they're their the change the subject to how many poos my son had done and what he'd eaten that day, but nothing could cover up the audible sniggers from the cue behind me, just another day,
Starting point is 00:35:08 I'm four hours sleep, and that's from Mabel Brown. Hello, sexy boy. Oh my word. Okay, Rob, do you want some questions for Luan Rose? We've been asking you to submit your questions for LRo and Rose because they're doing a chapter each in the parenting hell book. Currently available for pre-order Rob, you know I'm good at the promo. Yeah, you love it. I love it. Do buy tickets for the tour as well.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Um, questions for Lu and Rose? Anything else? Anything else? What? No, it's over? I might be selling? I sold us Shays Long, but... Oh, you sold it? How much did you get it for it in the end? Did you get what you wanted? Get asking price? We did it mates rates because we sold us some friends,
Starting point is 00:35:48 one of whom listens to this podcast. And can I add to Kate, you do need to pick it up. Right, anyway, let's carry on. their nine. Seven. Seven. What's the one thing they do that makes you want to murder them in their sleep? I leave pants behind the bathroom door. Lou hates that. Do you think that she's going to go with that?
Starting point is 00:36:11 Yeah, that or I leave cupboards open. Do you know what? I've realized what my, um, Crosby's law is. for four rows or hers for you. Yeah, the thing that annoys me that Rose does. It's making tea with a teaspoon, stirring it, and then putting that teaspoon down, leaving a small tea puddle. No need for it. Put it in the sink or the dishwasher. Put it in the sink or the dishwasher. You've got to put it down somewhere. That's done. And you've got a nice kitchen but you haven't got like some sort of mad Wayne Rooney, Clean Rooney kitchen where it's a two-minute walk to the sink. You're near the sink, it's a normal-sized kitchen. It's not clean Rooney, it's bloody dirty Rooney, that's what I'm telling. Am I'm that's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:53 That's good stuff. We're not always. on the fly. Colleen, more like dirty runie. Yes, please. Yes, please. Rebecca Tardy, Rebecca Tardy, come on, we're fucking flying! Fucking sue me! Let's go! That's like one of those leaked WhatsApp's is more like dirty, Rooney. Do you know what the funny thing, the funny thing for that court case was when the, uh, the prosecutor, the lawyer, I don't know who it was, said about, oh it's very inconvenient, very, very strange that the mobile phone ended up at the bottom of the ocean in Davy Jones's locker and then apparently Rebecca Vardy went, who's Davy Jones?
Starting point is 00:37:34 And then the judge went, it's just the term for the bottom of the scene. Dave Jones, he used to be the manager of Southampton in the about 2004. Yeah, I won't be surprised of a story about Davy Jones comes out in the sun for drink driving. Baby Jones, Drink Drone, crushed his car at the bottom of the sea. Do you want to hear how our new cookers going? Oh yes, the cooker, sorry, that's what I asked. It's too powerful, Rob. So we're going to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to to to to to to to to the their to their their their their to their their their their their own their own their own, their own, their own, their their own, their own, their their their their their their their, their, their, to to bea, 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 thoome.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.

How has that worked out? It's burning our pans.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So you've basically bought a top-level oven, but you've buying the crap pans from the local shop. We've got crap pans and that's been drawn to attention. So is it a cookout oven like gas hobs on top. And the gas hobs. Oh, gas hobs. All right, okay. So fast. So fierce. So what ones have you got at the moment? Just metal source, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:30 normal sort. The kind of, the kind of, quirky ones. No, we've got the kind of, And that's quirky ones, that was so disrespectful, so rude, wouldn't it? That's such a sort of neging passive-aggressive term. No, but you know what? Guilty is charged. Quirky ones. Guilty is charged. Do you want a question about fame?
Starting point is 00:38:54 Okay, question six about fame and then I'll do small business. Okay, here we go. As a mother, it can be hard to maintain your identity. Even more so so so so so so so so thso thso thso tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho, th and his challenging work patterns. What do you do to make sure you keep your identity? Bloody hell, that's an intense question, isn't it? Oh God. Yeah, that's quite full-on, that's quite full-on, thinne it. Oh my God, look at this one. If you are no longer with Rob and Josh, which celebrity parent would you want to be with and what would be the perceived benefits? Oh, that's a great question. I'm up for that.
Starting point is 00:39:27 That's I want to know. Yeah. Imagine if she said like, imagine if Rose said James A. Kaster and Lou said Romish. Right. Should we do small business shout out? Yes. This is, I don't mind it, but it's so niche. I can't imagine that I'll give this shout out out th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm the the th. I'm the th. I'm the th. I'm up th. I'm up the th. I'm up th. I'm up th. I'm up th. I'm up th.

I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's so niche, which I can't imagine, I'll give this shout out, but I can't imagine how many people we've got that will listen that will be able to use this business, but anyway, why not? Okay, that's exciting. Yeah, so Swarm Business shoutout, technically Northwest Origins, because we asked for more northern ones because it a little bit south-centric, my brother started his online personal training business a couple of years ago. Originally from Wigum, he has now moved to Barcelona and is absolutely smashing it.
Starting point is 00:40:08 So I thought this was calling out for PT sessions in Barcelona. I didn't realize it was online. I was like, okay, it's quite niche. Pierre Bammer Yang going, I'll get involved with that. I think I got Louis and Rican the line who wants to do some cur, rip curls, what's that? Surfing, isn't it? My God, that's an embarrassing moment. It's very embarrassing now. Could I just want to be able to do some rip curls if that's okay with you? My brother works with LGBTQ plus clients, helping them to achieve their fitness goals, overcome confidence and body issues
Starting point is 00:40:39 improve their mental health health. After going through his own journey of self-discovery and overcoming his own mental health issues he wants to support others do the same. Online personal training programs, help and advise tailor fitness programs, nutritional guides and a training app to use to keep track of progress. Kieran Lyon's Fitness, WW&S. PT. So I thought that was a personal trainer based in Barcelona that only trained LGBTQ plus clients, which, you know, obviously there's a market for anything, but I'm just saying it's quite a niche client base. Yeah, of course. And of all, you know, I imagine there's a few people in this podcast who that fits
Starting point is 00:41:16 with due to sheer, you know, weight of numbers. Well, if you're a member of the LGBTQ plus community and you live in Barcelona and you listen to this and you want a personal trainer let us know. That's the crux. Imagine if you were an LGBT plus living in Barcelona but you already had a personal trainer how annoying that would be. But it is online so you can do it online. I think he's just based in Barcelona. Hi Robin Josh, absolutely love the podcast.
Starting point is 00:41:41 As a parent of two boys I'm running a small business, I look forward every week for your newest episode, for lots of laughs. It's also so relatable. We are a small business based in Swanley Kent. Who made? You know Swanley Rob? That's near me. Oh, mate.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I used to go Swanley for three quid. That's like a computer program that has been been able to come up with Rob Beckett based anecdotes. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, like a robot but let's do a random Rob Beckett's anecdote generator. Yeah, no used to go, my mom used to leave me in the crash at Asda and go shopping and they had Super Mario I loved it was great glory days. Wow it gets better. Anyway we're a small business based in Swanley Kent who make classic wooden puzzles with a twist. We use photos behind the shape. Children really love discovering who is behind each one. Instagram peekaboo p-o-o-underscore puzzle. Now of extra info, Rob, I went to Cooper's School. Oh, that's my old school.
Starting point is 00:42:49 And my mum has worked there for many years and remembers Rob. Every time you're on tele, she says, I know him. I'm not sure we need that element. Her name is Mrs. Haslam and she still works on student reception. Cheers, Gemma. Mrs Hasden, that does ring a a, actually. So what's the company called, the puzzle company? Peekaboo underscore puzzle. Let's have a look at these puzzles, mate. Oh, they're like little kid puzzles.

Starting point is 00:43:49 and ask these questions and they will absolutely let loose on us. So I reckon they're going to be quite brutal. So any questions you've got. Are you dreading parents or wife more? I'm dreading wife more but I think my parents could make thiing wife their their thing wife thing wife thing wife thing wife thi my thi my thi my thi my parents thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi their their 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 thi.
