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.

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.

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... Max, can you say Bob Beckett? What picket? And can you say Josh Widdicum? Josh Widdicum. Thank you. There we go. That's one of my favorites. Yeah it was nice that, wouldn't it? Here is my three-year-old son Max. I've been waiting to record this for two years, but the lazy sod has only just started talking from Craig, age 35 and a quarter, doesn't say where he's from.

We didn't want to do both the same week. So he'll be what, 18 months? Yeah, a bit less, bit less maybe. Yeah. So is that five days a week? No. Dude. It's going to know.

I didn't know they could go in that age. Yeah, why is it's nursery? They're in from six months at nursery.

Yeah now they're in from six months from yeah because I think because I think because I think my youngest went in about two to preschool. Yeah yeah. Yeah because it's like the equivalent of life in a childminder or or very exciting. So in September you're gonna have two days a week where there'll be no children in your house. they're going 9 to 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 the their. their their their their their their their 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're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in they're in to have two days a week where there'll be no children in your house. And they're going 9 till 6, 2 days a week? Uh, she'll be a 9 to 3.30, but she'll probably do an after-school thing on the days he's

there because he'll be doing the longer day, won't he? So maybe, yeah. Well, that's the thing actually, parent you will start to have your own life again. And it's not really your own life because you're still a parent having that life. So it's how you get back into being a parent. But it's what you have to get, it's what, it's all right for you because you're going to class 3 with Rose. So I'm, I know I'm going on this holiday, this stag do, and I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm, I'm, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.s.s. th. th th and I'm gonna have to there's gonna be some payback yeah a lot because whatever happens a little bit like we're using our beefing for

You might hate it. I like all your other work and your podcasting, but for the listeners who don't know, let's know what you set up our own with kids is. How many kids you got, David, we don't talk quite your family that much do you? So this is gonna be good hour okay this is gonna be tough. I do yeah but you got on film to flog it's that life works mate I've got three boys boy A is 20 yeah boy B is seven nearly seven boy C is nearly five right okay do you do you name your kids but do you name your kids, but do you mention their names? No, we don't either. We just say it by their ages. And actually I think that's better from a podcast one of you because then you can, if you go, oh, you know, so and so started

shitting on the floor, if you say the 20-year-old, that's a much more interesting story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, so the the 20, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the the 20 the 20 the 20 the 20, the 20, the 20, the 20, that's that's the 20 that's that's the 20 that's that's the 20 that's that's that's that's that's the 20, the 20, we the 20, we the 20, we that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. We that's. We that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that's that's they. they. the the the th. the th. th. the th. the th. the th. th. the the th. the th. thirty, we're that's th. that's that quite a big gap then? Yeah, had a big old gap, didn't I? Yeah. What's it like having a 20 year old then? Is it that, is it like, I tell you what's like when they get older, you think, what's my role? Yeah. Well, what's my purpose now? Now he's advising me.

And I feel like, like, the'm ever, because he's quite mature and comfortable. And so I'm like, well, what's my role? So I can't, yeah, I don't know what my role is. But what is your role? Yeah. You still don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I tryto be wise, but... We're not at the wise stage, yeah, but I'm a big fan of your podcast to do with Joe Wilkinson, Chattabix, and it's on Patreon, and you do a show, you do a episode near enough every day when you're on a series with that, which is quite full on. But it's weird, I like, because when I, when, when, when, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, I to, I to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, to, to, to, to, to, I'm, to, th.e.e.a, to, to, to, to, I'm, to, I'm, I'm a bit like panicked about something I'm not sure what you should be doing and so I don't know how much of that is really you or just isn't that is all isn't that everyone I mean well yeah no but no but not everyone lets it out

the out kind of thing you know I mean it's honest about maybe maybe I'm maybe I shouldn't have done that maybe I think, you know, because that's what we talk about and it's not knowing what we're doing and stuff. But yeah, it must be we've got 20-year-old. I feel like everyone knows what they're doing. They've got, they've all got their direction, they know exactly where they're heading to and I don't know what I'm doing and flailing around every day. Do you try and give I their their their their they they their they they're they're they're their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're azabix. Yeah, yeah, I mean they're too young, although they started to ask questions now about what I do, what do I do? What do I do?

I don't know what I do. But also as well, like, you're like, you're all younger kids, or you're all younger kids, or your older kid might have seen it, but you can't show him what you do on like, you know, after life or like. I mean it's so full on so like are they aware of those sort of characters because you know that's very majority so he's obviously 20 now when he was seven we did this gig I did this gig I did this gig down a some festival in Cornwall yeah I bought him on stage with a latex mask on his head, he's seven years old, and we were dancing together in front of like 300 people, and at the time I was like,

oh this is Graham being a great dad. And it's never spoken of it, no one speaks about that, isn't it a bad thing to do as a dad? So he's never mentioned it since? No, we don't talk about that a bad thing to do as a dad? No, he's never mentioned it since? No, we don't talk about that. Yeah, so he's, he's just like this little man next to me. It's like this latex mask, this little, this bloke's head. So he was about three foot tall and he was sort of dancing me. I thought it was a good fun.

Yeah, he's no interest in showbiz. Really? Does he like what you do? He does now. I used to hate it. Yeah, he had a real problem with what I did. Yeah, well that's because you're that character though that you did is like that, you know, it's a full-on character. Because I, in the Cinderella film I played a lot of pervert in it, which is not ideal when you got two kids. I know, like, if the, the, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they, they, thi, thi, they, the, the, the, th. He's, he, he, he, he's, he, he's, he's, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's, th. He's, t. He's, t. He's, t. He's, t. He's, th. He's, th. you're playing that, it's sort of like a bit creepy, isn't it? I mean it wasn't as, it's like a kid's film, so it wasn't as full on as the stuff you did, but yeah, it must be funny when you're 15 and your dad's doing that. The worst, because I did a character called Steve Cumblin who's kind of like a combo, yeah. What more combo was? Because you did it like on YouTube and you know, he looked a lot like you, it looked like that just could be who you are, but obviously it's a comedy character

but because it looks so much like you and you were so good at playing it, it looked real. Well that was a problem so I put it on, I just didn't think about the repercussions, him being at school, secondary school, his mate's my dad, if my dad had done that, can you imagine your dad doing that? I know, but it's so funny, the weird thing is it's so funny and it's such a good character and it's really good. It's not like something you did that was crap, but yeah, even if it is really good, if your dad's comedy characters playing a bit of a pratt, everyone's a little video. Well, I didn't having that out of the world.

Oh, I was pretty. Yeah, one of the reasons, yeah. And because I was embarrassed. It's great. I love it. I tend to make stuff and then destroy it and move on. So does that not exist on any hard drive anywhere? Yelp. Yeah. But, uh, yeah. That's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the reasons the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the th. that. that. that. th- th- that. thooooooooooooooooooooo. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah You've got it. No, I don't know. Yeah, but yeah, but that's strange thing because that's like that you just get rid of him. But then I suppose if he's unhappy you got a real.

I didn't want that pushed down his throat. I didn't want his mouth. I put one video up. It was so funny. I fucking love combo. Someone said oh I know his son and they wrote a comment I was like oh no this is horrible. Yeah yeah I said I haven't got to that point of worrying about what my daughter I'm telling you I'm telling you now how old are you four and four oh okay but I've been filmed getting a clinic have you have to. Have you? Yeah I've been filmed getting a chronic have that?

What's that like? I've had a chip horrible? Is it? Yeah. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've got I've got I've got I've got I've got got got I've got got got I've got got I've got got got got got got got I've got got got that I've that I've that I've that I've got I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that that that that that that that that's th. I've th. I've been th. I've been to to to to to to to to that that that that that th. I've been that th. I've been th. I've that's that's that's that's promise. What's that like? I've had a chip... horrible. Is it? Yeah. Is it no pleasure at all? No, because the tube going up your ass to be the problem. No, because the tube going up your ass to be the problem. No, because they just fill you up. No and then basically they fill you up and then it just, so it fills you up in one tube and it flushes out with the other but then you're left of gallons of water in your belly and they go sit on that toilet and I was sat in the toilet and I was like, I'm fine I don't need to sit on the toilet it's not a problem and they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I were like I was not they were like I was not they were like I was in the toilet and I went to get up when I'm fine and sit that when everything's out and then literally a second later it was like this fucking like Amazonian rainfall coming out my house and how does it how's it feel after that? Well I think it's fully recovered now but there was a good

couple of months where you could still fill the breeze yeah when I was in the shower I could feel things down there like it was what do you mean what I the the the the the 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 was I was I was I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in a th I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in I was in 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 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 was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was in I was in I was in I was 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 th the th the th th th th th th thou I shower I could feel things down there like it weren't right. What do you mean? It was just the little things like you're like Derek a Cora. I had two tubes up the ass and it wasn't used to that. Wow. And you had a cameraman pointing at your age. No, the cameraman didn't go in, it weren't in a space. No, but where was he in the room? So they were filming our faces. It was tastefully angled. Yeah it was tastefully angled. See now that, how do you say yeah I'm doing that when that comes through? Well no so basically it was my idea because the show... Okay the other ideas I come up with were at there. No basically we were doing a show where we went to find out a

basketball and we got to go in the court of the Staples Center and I used to hate watching those shows where comedians travel the world and do amazing things I just sit in my shit flat with the ump so I said whenever we do this we need to do something that would make me go you know what I don't fancy that trip so on every show we do something that the audience wouldn't want to do because it makes it easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it easier it makes it easier it makes it easier to swallow seeing us do amazing stuff. Okay, okay. Because I'd go, Joe, I'd rather just save up and go LA than I have to have a tube up the ass on national tele. Yeah, yeah, okay. But that's my idea, Romish doesn't really like that.

He'd prefer it the other way. And do you enjoy, do you worrytell you when they, the worst time, the hardest time for me is, someone said to me when they hit secondary school, within two weeks everything changes and it really does. Really? Within a month you go, oh, could you just, no? Could you just, no? Could you just, uh, no? Well, this sort of work yesterday. Did you just time? No. So you have to find a new way of parents who's really hard. Oh, man. 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. Visit A.X.C.S.A. slash. Also as well now, do you reckon who could he beat you up in a fight? Oh yeah, he's got a fantastic body. He's got a great set of pegs on him. In fact, I was that told him yesterday and he had his top off and I was just like... He's got a great set of pegs on him.

Big strong boy. Yeah, yeah. So does it, does he work out like, because obviously like when we were young, I don't know, but like it was like you'd be boozing and you'd be doing whatever, you'd never go to the gym or whatever? But did you, have you found that different generation? Yeah, they look after the. And the. And the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. the. the. thi. thi. he he he th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to kids that are into? Yeah, they look after themselves, I think. They definitely, he definitely does. I feel like they look after their bodies. Yeah. And I mean, he came out of the sea. We went down to the beach last year. He came out the sea. Like Daniel Craig. I was like, well, get me the camera love. That's fantastic. Genetic. Proud of yourself, the the the the the they. they. they they they they they 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 definitely.

What you could have won? I went, when my dad really looked after himself. Yeah. So what happened with you? Fitts as a, hang on a minute, so. It is a flea, he was, and we went, we went walking in Norway. And I was like 23 and he was, I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I that, I that, I th. th. th. tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, I tha, I and we went, we went walking in Norway and I was like 23 and he was I don't know late 15s. We stopped like this picnic and he took his top off.

Or we both went to take our tops off at the same time and I looked him and I looked to him and I'm surrounded by fucking their bodies. You? No, I'm not surrounded by it. I don't know this is a long shot if you. th. If you th. If you th. If you th. If you th. If you th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like thi. I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, 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 was. I was. I, I, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I was. F thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. F. I'm thi. F. I'm thi. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, ah, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm not sorry, what? I don't know this is a long shot if you follow Christian and Rinaldo on Instagram. Oh yeah. His son is fucking ripped. Oh, I'm like 10. No, no, no, no, no. Josh, I don't think he's talking about children's bodies. No, it's weird. It's weird.

It's weird. It's weird looking at children's bodies. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, it's weird. I'm not saying I follow him for his son. I'm saying the son occasionally pops up on his Instagram. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's two rips to be 10. It's weird. Yeah, he's weird. Moving on. From bodies? Yeah, you've moved to Devon.

So Naomi introduced me to Devon. So you're bringing your two kids up in Devon. Yeah, so Naomi introduced me to Devon. Where were you? Where did you live? I'm from very near? So where do you live? Because I'm sort of near Totness? Yeah, so I grew up in Haytorvale near Bovey, Tracy. Did you? Yeah, really near? Oh, right, okay. So what were those words, Josh? What were those words, Josh? H- Can you say that again? Like, you know, that's weird sort of gibberish. Yeah. Hator Vale? Near Bovey, Tracy.

So Nomey introduced me to this part of the world and I loved it. Yeah. And we took the boys down to Banffam Beach. Yeah. And I was like I just want to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the boys down to Banffam Beach. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, I just want to give them this childhood, you know, weekends down at the beach. Yeah, yeah. And I never thought he would.

And then within, I think lockdown here, we're like, fuck it, let's get out. Not that we were in the city. Where were you before? Where were you? Well just in Sussex but it was busy enough for me. Yeah. Have you been having to make new friends then? I haven't made any friends apart from Phil my neighbor who would help me to be sooner. What's that? What's his body like? Good actually for a late 60 year old.

Yeah. No, half bad. Do you know what I've settled with my body, right? It's always put on way easy, is I've settled on, I'm not getting rid of our tits, I just want them hard. Right, how old do you? 36. Yeah, so you're in your prime.

I was alright. I'm telling you when you hit 40 odd, terrible. I mean, what I find hard, which I was going to ask you, is life, sort of the work, life balance with children and being self-employed. Do you struggle with that? Yeah, badly. Same here. Mine are the biggest difficulties of, you know, especially the way we work where it's sort of, you know, especially the, for example your film has done really well at one, was it the, all viewers choice or all the Sundance London?

What was it the, yeah, audience? Audience, yeah? Yeah, so it's won that award which now you've got way more interest in the film and it's like you had to go to, he was in America for the premier and that and you've't really plan for that sometimes can you? No and that they they obviously get upset when I leave and then so you spend so we spent a few days out there getting wind and dined and then you come back yeah like the bed sheets being pissed on and stuff and it's a tricky it's tricky adapting for you know 48 hours but I really find that I find that work life balance really hard just yeah how much to work each day. Yeah I think

it's also when you work from home you feel like every time you go upstairs or wherever you work you feel like you're making a almost conscious decision to choose work over your family yeah even though you're not you've got to work you know but that can play into your mind if that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, you know, absolutely. When do you start in the morning? When do you start work? Oh, no, I mean... I need to get this on my chest. Okay. Talk us through your day with it. It's a Monday kids are in school, sotalks through your day with you and Naomi. So do you do the school run? So I, well, not now we've started doing fucking chatter mix.

I need to have a word about this. You cannot do an episode every day. Where we've actually, you know Zoe Ball? Like what's going to be Zoe Ball? That was the whole point. We don't want to do like a video, a vlog version, video diary like podcast version so that you just saw all the nuts and bolts. Yeah, but Zobar as a producer that helps. Yeah, well we've got like now, you know. Okay, sorry. So talk me through your day. It's Monday morning. What time you get up? Up at half six? Yeah, same with you? Yeah, it's bad time they get up. Yeah, if I've been gigging,

Lou will let me lie in. Okay, so today up at the half six comes in where you lick me in the ear. Yeah, sure. I look at it. Genuinely. Yeah. So we do a bit of an ear licking. That's just my wife, I forgot so. And then, would you make an animation with me? Yeah, I'd love to, I'd love to do the animation with you. Would you draw a storm trooper?

It's like, fucking out. It's mad, isn't it? Yeah, for long. It's only 20 to 7. Yeah it is. And then I have this thing where I, so I might come down here about half 8, but I have this thing where I go, well you know if I was working in London, if I'd get in the train to London, I'll be leaving it seven in the morning. So I have this thing, yeah. Do you do the school right now, does Naomi, do you help them get up and help him get out of the house? Yeah, I normally make breakfast and do a bit of that and then, but Nomi normally takes them to school. I went last

week but yeah now Chatterbix is still calming down I can do some of that. Yeah, and you're basically straight on the podcast recorder half eight aren't you? God I'm putting Chattamix ahead of my children that's horrible is something that you nominally enjoy and is fun to do that I think if you were an accountant you wouldn't be going, I'm putting account, not that there's, you know, maybe that, there might be a fun job, but if you were doing a job which you weren't a fan of, I think it'd almost be easier for you to justify it to yourself because you'd go, I've got to do this for the family. Yeah, but the way I deal with it is I totally shut off. So when I'm working, I'm not a good dad or a bad dad, I'm not even a dad at that point. I'm literally, this is all I'm thi. I'm literally, I'm literally, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I've thi. I've that. I've that. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've that. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've that. I've that. I've that. I've got got got got got got got got got got got to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toeeeat. I've got to to to to to to to to to to thr-a. I've that over when I'm with the kids I'm not thinking just have to just basically go like and when I go away for work I'm like well

I'm in work mode now and that's just it and it's like you have to do it and then it's sort of feast or famine is self-employed I find is where you're either a way load and then you have like three weeks off out of nowhere and so just it's you're getting the the the the the the the the the the to their to get more more more more more more more more more more more more more the the the the to the to get more their to their to their to their to to to to to to their their to to their I'm their to to to to to to to to to their I'm to to their I'm their I'm their I'm their I'm their I their I'm their I I I I I their I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I to to to their I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th their work work work work work work to their th to the to to to the to to to to th to to to th to thooo. tho to to tho tho their the the them than if you was getting every evening for a couple of hours. But when I'm working I'm like, I don't care, it's almost like I just remove them from my brain and focus on the work and then I do that the opposite way when I'm with the kids and I just take the work out. But I have those famine moments, I have, well what am I doing next year? Well I've got to work harder. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. I have that as well. that as well. that as well. to have to work. to work. that as well. to that as well. I have that as to work. I have to to th. I have the the the the the the the to the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I'm their. I'm to work. I'm to work. I'm to work. I'm to work. I'm toooomorrow. I'm. I'm today. I'm. I'm. I'm toooomorrow. I'm tooomorrow. I'm to to to to to yeah, of course but that's but you worrying about it when you're sat there on the beach isn't gonna no change it is it? Yeah I mean I'm not quite as bad as I'm making out but I'm pretty bad. Yeah but that is hard because there is no security there's no security of when you work self-employed.

I mean is that why you got the I was a big fan of your my new football club podcast where you move to Devon obviously and you got season tickets at Exeter and you got two for you and your boy was that a way of sort of try to bond with them as a younger kid's like having a thing that you do every week yeah that way it's in the diary you know that you work your schedule around exit when exit a play at home that's when you and your boy go to football and you yeah and that that that that that's that's that's that's the th you the the the th the th the the th I th I th th I th th the the th. th. th. th. th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was th. I th. I was th. I was th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. was th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. I was th. I was th. I was thin to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. to and you... And that lasted 35 minutes. Because by half-time he was like, I don't want to come again. I just bought your ticket my son. For a year, yeah, aft of a bond and you don't like it. Yeah, so um... And then you had to start going on your own. I started going on my own and I feel comfortable with that now. I didn't in the early days. Even more time away from the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi-I thi- I'm thi- I thi- I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi thi thi- I thi- I thi- I thi- I thi- I th. I th. I thi-I tho thi-I thi-in thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin the thin the thin thin the told toe told to to to to to to to to to. I didn't in the early days. Even more time away from the kids. Well, that's the thing now. So Saturday afternoons, I'm like, oh, I'm fucking off again.

You got to go to XC on my own. Yeah. Yeah. You're all right. So Naomi, my wife's like, and you can't stop it now because it's your job with the podcast. Exactly. You're in a right old pickle, aren't you? Fuck it now, it's hard work. See, I just feel like everyone's got it sorted out. No way. No one's got it sorted out. No one has got it sorted out. That's the... Everyone would look at you and think you've got it sorted out. You've been on like mega shows, everyone knows you've been on one the biggest sitcoms ever I think.. No. No, like mega shows, everyone knows, you've ever loves your character, you've been on,

well, one of the biggest sitcoms ever, I think, is it afterlife's got like millions of views. You're on that. You've got of your films won that Sundance Award in London, you're in LA to Jazzermicks. Yeah, but you know, but these things last things last things last things last things last things last things last things last things last things last thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks the things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things last their. it for seven days or you film it for four weeks and then you know Fidbicket about and then you go I can only do Chasabex. So everyone is looking at you as the person who's got it nailed.

Well don't. I'm trying to say no one's looking at me saying he's got it nailed. They are. Fucking out. You got an idyllic lifestyle you're down in Devon. Go to the beach every weekend. Do you know what, when we moved down here, I said, I said to know me, I was like, right, we're going to move down to Devon. I'll do some writing in the morning, I'll do a bit of

twitch and then we're going down the afternoon. Fantastic. Yeah? Okay. And now it's just not happens. Not. Because you're working too much. I'm working too much. I'm working to it.

Yeah, it wouldn't it, you're watching a... Yeah, you just pop up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's a weird experience. Give us the premise of the film. It's a lonely man who's an inventor and uh... Tough stretch was it the acting for that?

Do you know what? It's so me. Just want to watch you now. I'll go, right, that's just you. Yeah, that's just, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the the the that's just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, the the the the the the the for that? Do you know what? It's so me. Just want to watch you now. I go, oh right, that's just you. That's just you. Everything he makes doesn't quite work. Yeah, that's you as well, David. And then one day he invents this robot when he comes to life and Jackpot. You got yourself the film boys. It must be pretty exciting because it's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just that's just that's just just just just just just just just just just just just that's just just just just that's just that's just that's just that's just you that's just you that's just you that's just you thi's just you that's just you that's just you's just you's just you's just you that's just you's just you's just Jackpot. You got yourself to the film boys.

It must be pretty exciting because Brian is the character that I saw you doing stand-up with when I first met you in 2008, right? And it's now like a huge film. That is exciting. It is really exciting. It's really exciting. It doesn't have to be. You don't have to say it really exciting. It's really exciting. It's sort of... It doesn't have to be. You don't have to say it's exciting.

It's not, it's actually terrible, worst thing we ever happen to you if you want. It's like a fucking nightmare, mate. Yeah, it's really super exciting. It's super exciting. It's super exciting. No, it is exciting. I mean, you are going, well, how long is this going to last and what's next? I mean, that might have it, we found the problem. Have you read the sequel? How's that going? I mean, I was saying to know me, could you imagine if this film just blew up, if it

did really, that would be stressful. Careful what you were for? Like that would do my head? Like, like, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, th. th. th. th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that that that that that that that that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I that, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. thi, I thi, I thin, I thin, I mean, I mean, I thin, I mean, I thin, I mean, I thin, I mean, I thin, I mean, I thin, I mean, I thee, I thi. thi're worth for. Like that would do my head. Any situation would be bad for you? Yeah, I mean, you know. So you don't want to flop, you don't want a huge mega hit. I don't want to flop. No, I'd like a mega hit but I'd like to keep a distance. Yeah, okay. Remain detached from it. Yeah, it's quite hard when you're starring it and you wrote it. You just make these things to have a bit of fun and pay the mortgage, don't you? And then there are sort of repercussions if they do all right. As your son's seen the film? My eldest has, yeah, he came to the premiere in London last week, because I based a lot of Charles on him.

Oh right. And sort of parenting him and him, kind of like the teenage years. And yeah, I mean, he wouldn't have come five years ago. No way would he watch that film. That must be lovely though that you've come full circle from deleting videos on YouTube. And then now he's at the premiere of your film. Because it must have been a point where you thought, well, what if my career, and I have to do it now,

because this is what I do, it's gonna just completely drive me away from him. And then that didn't happen, obviously, because he's at the premier, it must be a good feeling. Oh, it's such a nice feeling because he, he, 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, that, that, that, that, that, and, that, that, and, that, that, and, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th..... that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th yeah and um that must have been amazing yeah it is yeah teenage years are hard and he once when he said that oh I cry loads about shit like that yeah I would have burned it too I can imagine you're a cryer me yeah yeah oh yeah I'm a big crier yeah yeah I'm a thrown I'm just you know I'm a to the to the they. I'm a thr thi the the the the the the the the the the the the the. I'm the. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the I'm a the I'm 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 the the the th. I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. the the the the they. I the the the the the and just crying my eyes out. Just... Do you get that? Yeah, no I know exactly what you mean. Yeah. But he said to me, because teenage years, the teenage years are hard and he said if you haven't shown me so much love, Christ knows what would happen to me. So my advice to you boys is just keep loving them. And admiring their bodies. Well that's a that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that their that th. that's their th. th. that's that's tho tho tho tho that. tho thatheir tho thatheir thatheir to their 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 their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their their their their their their their tho. their tho. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I that tho. I that tho. Well, less of that. I've got two daughters. Yeah.

Let's the act for dads of daughters. No. I'll take half for that advice. Yeah, but it's a tricky time because they really push away from you and you just got to keep hanging on. And how do you, how do you deal with that? Like, I tell you there's a book that really helped called, fuck, what was it called? Well, wait, my door's just shouting out the window. Here we go. Hello.

I'd the book, I'd the book, I thought Rob had just gone into promo mode again? What's the book you're promoting?

No, it helps. It's the book something like, get out of my life, but before you do that, can you take me into town? That's something like, I mean, it's a long time. Sounds like an old school chat line. It's like an old school chat line. that is a the the the, I'm going to try and find it. Yeah, that is a difficult Google. Get out of my life. Yeah, what was it on one? Get out of my life, but first could you drive me and Cheryl to the mall? A parents died to the new teenager.

Is that it? Is that it? Yeah. You found it? conversion the British version is get out of my life but first take me and Alex into town. There you go by Tony Wolf and Susan Franks. I mean it might be shit but at the time I needed support and that that was my support. Does your child have to be called Alex? Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's yeah okay okay it just it won't work otherwise alright no no could I just drop the name over in my own head? Well you could do but you could do but it's a that it that it that it that it that it's that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. right. That's a bit messy, too difficult. Okay, so that helped you, did it? We're like dealing with teenagers. Yeah, it's the hardest time. Well, I had a really tricky time and,

No, no, I'm actually wanting to fucking do it, man. Have you worried about your younger kids becoming teenagers? Are you trying to really enjoy this young period now? Oh, I know that time when the magic goes, that will hurt. That will hurt. Yeah. When's the magic going? What age are we looking at? I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say, I would say around, yeah it's when they go to secondary school, right? So around about 12. I found the year, the years 12 to 14 the hardest I think because they're just babies and

yet they will want to start hanging up. Yeah, and the hormones are going all over the place as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's funny. It's a four-year-old daughter who's already a tear away so that's going to come earlier I think she's about eight and she yeah yeah oh god because they they wake up obviously the kids wake up really early you know fucking how get out my room and you feel like that and then at 14 they're going dad

yeah that's when you go oh it's nine o'clock yeah yeah Oh, fuck off that. Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. So is he now? Is he working? Is he studying or? He's working? He's working.

He's working. I wanted to give you a bit of advice, some more advice. Yeah, go on. Yeah, please. Because it's all been really upbeat. their times. They're quite slow. Quite slow. Like they last a long time. We start at 615 and we finish at about

eight. Yes. So we do I do a think of crazy times and it really works. Go on. Okay. So obviously they don't want to go to bed. I've now turned going to bed into like a fun for half an hour. So they're always like, can we do do the crazy the crazy the crazy the crazy 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 do to do to do to do they're to do 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 they're they they they to they to they're they they're to 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 their their their their their their their their to do to do to do to to do to to to to to to to to the to to the the to to the to the. to to to to to to the. the. thto go to bed. I've now turned going to bed into like a bit of fun for half an hour. So they're always like, can we do crazy times? Yeah, they'll do crazy times. Jesus. So I'm making these little little bit of a combo tips out. Trying to fade these little games. And they're, so one game's called Red Ant. the Iron Fist. The Iron Fist? The Iron Claw.

The Iron Claw. One game's called Bumbcake. So blah, blah, blah, so we play these games. Whoa, whoa, whoa. You just bum cake? Gars give over bum cake after iron. They're a shopkeeper. They're a shopkeeper. I go, they're a shopkeeper. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T. T's. T's. They're a they're a they're a they're a their. I're a their. I're a their. I're a their. I're a their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm 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'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm the. I'm. I'm. I'm the. I'm. I'm the. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. Ikeeper. I go into their shop and I'm looking for food. I go, have you got a pump bum cake? And they go, no, no, no, I've got bump cake. I go, what's that behind the counter? And then they go,

oh yeah, I've got a bum cake. Why don't you give me your bum cake? And then I'm supposed to squeeze their bumme and stuff. This is the 20 20 20 year old up into bed. The big guy. So anyway, we do these crazies after 2025 minutes, I go, that's in the crate and they go, sure. Right, so you just go manage with them for a bit and then you just go for it. Yeah, and they might get out of the bed and more crate. More crazy and we won't have it tomorrow night. Right, okay. Nice and they back off. So create that bum cake while it's to squeeze your bum

where the bum cakes what's the iron claw? You put your your claw above their stomach and you just as soon as they make a noise you just drop it and and squeeze them. Nice ticklishy ticklishy ticklish wise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, red ant, black ant, you do an ant going up there. And that's just with your hand, not like a fake Abu Hamza claw. No, no, that's not. No, that's not. Red ant, black ant is just crawling up their arm. And they go black ant. Red ant, hey! The red ant is squealing, yeah. It's good. Yeah, hand! Hey! And the red hand squeaks it. Yeah, it's good. Yeah.

So you basically just embrace the crazy. Unadulterated kind of play. Yeah. Because before we were like, oh no no no no, no, no. Calm down. Yeah. Oh, fuck it. Yeah.

And then they get out of the after the bath, after pajamas, and laying in bed. After book, together or separate? Nomey's in one bed, I'm in the other. Right, and you're both doing that? Yeah, well I'm sort of doing it more. But once it's over, I'm telling you. Really? And how much is Naomi into crazy times? She doesn't like it so much? She's not okay as we're with it. If I'm away working, she's got to bring out the red ant black ant game. Do you ever do that? Do you ever do that to now need to get her to sleep? A bit of red ant? She's... No, don't actually. No, we do way more bum cake. How old are the young ones again? How old are the young ones? Yeah, six and four? Yeah, nearly seven, nearly five.

Nearly seven, nearly five. Oh yeah, that's the same as mine, it's such a fun age. They properly play, do yours play together nicely? Yeah, yeah seven, nearly five. Nearly seven, nearly five. Oh, yeah, that's the same as mine, yeah. They properly play, do yours play together nicely? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Honestly, I really, I constantly thinking about that moment where they go from childhood into sort of team. That's a strange story.

You're really worrying about it, aren't you? It's because the magic goes, and you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you'll you, you'll you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you And did you properly appreciate it all this time then? Were you, no? Okay. I try to. I try to, I really try to, but life gets in the way. I try to capture those little moments. Yeah.

But maybe it's because if you had a difficult time before will you're way more experienced and you know what you're doing a bit more now. Plus there's nothing in Devon they people grow up slur in Devon that's the thing. Do they? At what point were you like I want out of here and I want London? Well I moved to Manchester to go to Uni I went I went to Exeter to go to Sick Form which was a hell of a journey but I smelled the big city of Exeter. Did you? Did you? Yeah. I think it's nice to grow up like in the countryside sort of thing but they will want they will want to explore to the city. You can be doing a lot of farying around. Yeah I thought we spoke about that a couple days ago. I was like okay there's gonna be a lot of taxi work. I'm. I'm. the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to be a lot. to be a lot. their to be a lot. to be a lot. to be a lot. their to be a lot. to be a lot. to be a lot. their their to be going. to be going. to be going. 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 to to to ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. to. to. to. about fucking 60 then. Fuck sake. Do you know, I've written that down as well, stuff to talk about, my death. Okay. Carry on. Yeah, yeah, let's go for that then.

Well they just, they constantly remind me of my death, my children. Do that? Yeah, so I've got the opposite. I was terrified my 30s. Yeah, so how old to th is th is to to th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th th th th dad. But you were your 30s? So how old was you when you had your youngest? 43? Yeah, so my dad is 78. I'm, so he was 43 when he had me. So I was a little bit when I was a kid a little bit like, oh why is my dad older than all the other dads?

So that's a little bit of a thing to school that on you. Yeah, but I mean how many people get to 78? I don't know how I kind of helped me on that one. Well, not that many. You get to 78 you've done well. You've got 30 years to your 78? Yeah, but how old are they going to be? Early 30s, their dad's dead. Brilliant.

Well, you're worried a lot about something you have no control over. Well like, no. Yeah, but you kind of spend the rest of your life open you're not going to die that day. What's that going to achieve? I just don't like... You don't like... You don't like... I don't like the idea of them in their 20s, going to tho' that's I don't think anyone does. I don't think that's a you thing. I can handle it if they're in their 40s, that's fine.

You can't give a shit if they're in their 40s. I know what you mean, but yeah, I think, yeah. How much does this consume you that? Oh, I mean, I'm not constantly pondering, but every day I go okay okay okay it's not assumed but every single day it haunts you yeah I can't help I can't help but I think it's just getting old and go oh right I'm 48 now okay not long to go to the seasaws tipped are you in good health? Uh, yeah I am. I'm asking. I've got a dickie Achilles heel, apart from that.

Yeah, that's not going to kill you. That's good. Yeah, only Achilles that fucked up. Everyone else is all like. Yeah, I'm only nine years younger than you. You're thinking, you guys are in your 30s. I'm only nine years younger than you I don't want to start worrying about this as well don't you know you can worry about it but then what

what difference is it gonna make yeah well if anything it could bring death nearer because you're the anxieties yeah yeah have you had your child go to school saying oh my dad's got a hairy willy. No. Not at school, but they laugh at my willy and say, you got a hairy willy, it's like a slug. Yeah. Cool.

Because I haven't, I haven't had that. All right. Okay, yeah, no, it's a lot of that going on. What else is on the list? Yeah. What else is on the list? I've got love. I've gotthe love. Yeah.

Magic. I quite like love. Let's hit love. Well, everything's fine. Although there's a lot of mess and tiredness. It's all sprinkled with love and people forget that. That's nice. Oh, that's nice.

We should have ended on that one. That was nice for you to drop in something that bears no relation to everything you've just said. Work balance, tired, crazy times, and pissing in a mug. Oh, you've been pissing in a mug? Yeah, so my little boy went into school about a month ago and said, oh, daddy pissed in the mug so he didn't have to wake mommy out. It was like, what the fuck? Did I? Anyway.

What do you mean, so you didn't have to wait a mummy up? I don't know. But did you piss into a receptacle? Like for instance, you're at a, I mean I would never do this now, but when I was younger, you'd be out a festival and you'd piss in a cup, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You're definitely gonna piss in a cup at Glaston, I'm not gonna piss in a cup. I'm 39. Great. Yeah, and so you can't believe how much you piss until you piss. Like a mug? You're pissing way more than a mug there, aren't you?

Or you need to drink some more water. Yeah. Like, that's coming straight out at the top of the mug there. Like, there's too much. Is it? Yeah. He pisses a day? Yeah, no, in one go. A lot of piss is it? Small piss? I don't know if you do a pint glass, it depends what, pint glass is marked.
