And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?

So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course,

tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing.

about two sports radio hosts in America, one of those ones on Disney Plus. And it's called Mike and Mad Dog. And they're like basically two New Yorkers and they went, they did a show for 20 years together, but went mega. They were like the biggest sports casters ever. And it's a documentary about the relationship. But they hated each other. their.

One of them they were flying from New York to Indiana. He's an hour and 40 minute flight to cover a basketball game and the two flights got canceled and they said oh Mike you've got a wait an hour and a half to get the next one he goes no I'm not waiting

It's their and their their their their their their their f. 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 watch that. What's it called? Well, they're called Mike and Mad Dog, radio hosts, but I don't know what the... And which front of us is Mike and which is Mad Dog? Mike and the Mad Dog. Well, I'd say, Mike is the safe pair of hands, knows everything really on top of it, which is about, might be more of you, and then mad dogs are sort of crazy one, over time it, but the time's sort that's good. One slightly louder, could be me, apart from that, that's it. Anyway, so they just reminded me of me and you doing this, just like, what could happen in the next 20 years? Oh, mate.

What could happen? Whether it could end up in the courts? Right, Rob and Josh. Robin Josh, my husband and I... Oh sorry the Americans! Yeah well it segues back into the Americans. Hi Robin Josh, my husband and I have been fans of you both for a couple of years. I thought that was going to be longer. Wow, whoa, did they not see 50 greatest surgery shockers and E4? Did they not see Channel 4's 30 greatest comedies? Have I told you this? It was like a talking heads show about comedies, like their top 30 comedies. And I went on, and one of them was Desmons. Yeah. And I was quite, you know, we all liked Desmons back in the day. I watched it. And they kept asking, I offered some stuff on Desmons. And they kept asking me, I offered some stuff on Desmonds. And they kept asking. I, I, I, I, I, I, I the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toped toped their their top 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 top their top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top top 30 top top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top 30 top of their their their top they seemed quite surprised that because of basically no one else had obviously offered anything up on Desmons. They kept asking me about Desmonds and I kept kind of pontificating about it right? And then I came to watch

the show I was on basically nothing out other bit of it then it got to Desmons and I look like Britain's number one Desmonds kind of expert because no one else had said anything. It was quite a cult show wasn't it? It's sort of like a barbershop in South London or so. Yeah, Beckham I think it was. It was a great show. But anyway, that was my talking head situation. Hi, Rob and Josh. My husband and I have been fans both of you for a couple of years since you introduced a Taskmaster right before lockdown. This is Beck in Beckin. I think I've half and it's Beckin Beek I N Becken I think I've got a Beckin television

Yeah, I don't know I thought she said Beckham I thought she said Beckham when the thing and I was like always he's had an impact he's so close to being kind. Oh yeah, they on D on it. He's name is. Oh, yeah, it is. Oh, I see what? That's like? I. I. the that's. the that's. the that's. the the that's. the the that's. the the the that's. the the that's. the the the that's. that's. the that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Oh I see what you're, God that's like a cro- with someone one of those people that solves cryptic crosswords. Who me? Yeah. Oh yeah I did that once. Lose family like to crosswords when they're a holiday right? Because yeah. It's very different to me. Yeah. And they were doing a cryptic crossword and it was like a lorry. A cry a country to you know and that's basically when a bird eats a bit of berry it does a shit somewhere and the tree grows yeah that's what it is and I went that's cross-pollination I went ha ha yeah ignored me and they all carried on having a disgust and I was like no and I just left them for ages and I was right and to be fair that is the only that is that is that is that is that that that that that that that that is that that that that that that that that that th that th that th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the is to be the is the is the is the is to to to to to to to to to to be 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 th is a th is a th is a th is a th is a th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the is a the is a the is a the is a the thrown thrown thrown thrown thrown the thrown the thrown thrown to to to to to to to to to the the the to to be fair, that is the only one I've ever got right in 10 years, but I remember.

It's like, I mean, but it feels good when that happens when you do, like, if ever, and I don't watch it because I don't enjoy it, but if ever university challenges on, there will be one question that is about popular music, and none of them will get it because they're dweebs. And I will always get that one. Anyway, this is Beck. Because you're basically the coolest nerd. That's your thing, isn't it? I'm the cullest nerd. I'm the nerdiest lad and you're the coolest nerd. And that's how we meet in the middle.

Oh, that is so accurate. We meet together ordering a lager top where you're the absolute hero and I'm the little loser with the tapapolestestest's better to be the coolest nerd. It's like when I was the best person in the second PE group and that was brilliant. We stopped being top scoring the championship. Yeah, and then I got promoted to the top pe group the following year and it was a fucking nightmare. Oh yeah it was a fucking it's a nightmare nightmare nightmare nightmare. Like Clinton Morrison at Palace, absolutely banged them in, just couldn't do it in the top level. No, exactly. No, exactly.

I was absolutely out of my depth. I'm much preferred being a big fish. Right, this is back and he's two and a half. Actually, I've got more things to say about other stuff and two parents who question their sanity daily. Here in, do you want to have a guess? Um, Nebraska. No, San Diego. Oh yeah, it definitely was West Coast.

California. It is no pine bluff, Arkansas, but not a bad place to call home. The only thing I know about San Diego is it's got a zoo where Ross Gellers Monkey went. Oh, well, that's a long way that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a. Oh well that's a long way from New York isn't it? I don't think he drove. You worried about you worried about the monkeys carbon footprint? I'm worried about Marcel's carbon footprint. How many monkeys do you reckon I had been Marcel? How did they get away with that? Having a little sort of like performing monkey on the show. I did not. It was a different time.

It really straddled two eras, friends, and it felt so modern at the time. It was still a better character than Phoebe though. Now, Taylor, Taylor Israel is here who it comes from. Taylor Israel. Taylor Israel. 470 months old. There we go. Oh I did an error in the last episode I said 15 month year old instead of 15 month old talking about my friends kid. Have people picked you up on it? Yeah someone picked me up on it. Also what's weird because we have a lot

of North American listeners now, it's building after the pine bluff stuff. I woke up like to a sort of a tweet at 5.20 a.m. that said I'd rather suck a cock than be a Nazi. And I forgot, I'd said it on the podcast. Michael I did that bit out so I don't know what they're like. Okay. People have been, people have been here in my dreams again. So also as well, because it was my daughter's first day of primary school, my youngest. Oh, taught me through this. Well, I was panicked. I felt stressed a week. I've got a really busy week actually, Josh. It's been quite stressful. The kids are going back to school, which is quite stressful.

I had three shit this morning before they went to school. It's horrible, isn't it? I had horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. I've got horrible. I've got tha' thicked. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've th. I've th. I's horrible. I's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible. I's horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've horrible. I've th. I've th. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've to to tot. I've tot. I've tote. I've tote. I've tote. I've totally. I've though. Don't need to wear this. Did you have Nando's? I had a curry. Did you? How's it? How's your stomach been? Fine. Good? No, no, no, no. No, no. Just stressed six weren't they really? Yeah. I've done a few stressed six before. Yeah. What are we talking about? because basically we've got we're sorting out a mortgage this week so we've got to do that and it's just like what a good time to rejoin the mortgage market Rob but do you know what it's not even like obviously it's annoying that he's going up but it's just I'd rather it go up than have to scan PDFs of passpals that for me is a big of having to get like three months of bills, that admin kills me. So we're trying to do that. I did all of the bills when we moved to this house. So now basically when they ask for any record that Rose lives here, she might as well be like, there's just no bills with her name on it.

Little tip, if you move into a new house as a couple, split the bills with your name on it because all of my names on all the bills and it means that when Rose needs three-month-old bill. Oh, she can't do any credit report stuff. All that stuff is a fucking nightmare. Oh God, anyway, right? Oh, yeah, I'm doing that. Yeah, I'm doing that. The kids are all going to school this week.

New uniforms, blah, well, Stavsked Dait is coming back, I've got Robin Rommish coming back, I'm doing a show at the Hackney Empire on Saturday, I've got my radio two show on Sunday, I'm all over the gap. Who's doing the Hacney Empire? I'm just down the road by it. Come in. What are you doing? My tour show. Oh, nice. I'm a waltz. to do the school drop-off. So the eldest went in at 8 o'clock like normal, the youngest went in at 9 o'clock and she, oh god, last night she was killing us, she kept her going,

Daddy, I went, I'm scared of going to school. I'm like, oh no, oh no. And then she's just not, she's apprehensive, so I was going like, oh trying to do it that anyway and then she went but what happens at school and I was like and then we took her in and it's weird she was sort of fine but I was like I think you're gonna cry in the way back you because we're not recording after you do your kids first day because of because of between I'm between I'm told you're the do a voice note for us. Okay, we'll drop in. I'll do a voice note. So you tell your story and then we'll drop it in after. Yeah, but we've had a nightmare of uniforms, Josh, basically.

I liked that. You sent a photo. They are cool uniforms. Well, they're too long. Basically, she went in with a friend, and I think their parents, because they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their as possible, or you get the oversized and then you grow into it. So they're riding out as small as possible and I think they've got another six months. We're too early. We're too early and they've gone big. So there's like the skirts by the ankle. Big is in, big is in at the moment, Rob. You've got to remember this. They're on trend that you can't too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too to to to to to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to go their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. they're they're they're 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. they're the. to. to. to. to. to. they're to. We're to. to. the. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their this. They're on trend. She's on trend. So is it on trend that you can't see your hands because of your jumpers going over it? Look at people's t-shirts, Rob. People are wearing big t-shirts again. People are wearing big baggy trousers. The 90s are back in. The 90s are back in. She's just leading the charge. Shoe's too. She's not. Yeah. the 90. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. their their their their their their their their their tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. ties. too big should they Josh my the youngest her shoe nearly flew off this all is. That's that's genuinely a problem. Yeah she

went my shoes are slippy me and Lou looks each other going oh no I think we bought these at the start of summer we're hoping for a growth spur and then at one point the shoe so I like I had to tight and to tie in it so to keep it on and what Lou did and I don't want to throw under the bus here or throw her under the shoe she's stuck you have to put the names that you know name tax on the we're doing that today we're doing that we're doing that we're doing that we're doing. We're doing that we're doing that we're on that. So but she's stuck on the soul of the show. Is she an idiot Rob? I think so, yeah. I've got, I would say Lou is one of the most

organised, logical and together people. Attractive, sexy, charismatic, bad judge of character, all these things, right? Settled to her in a relationship. Doesn't know her own self-worth, that kind of thing is right? But that is, that soul of the shoe thing, that is out of character. That is the act of a person who is having a mental moment. But yeah, because I said they're on the soul, to think, oh did I? I thought I put them inside the, normally she puts them inside of the shoe and stuff. So she had, they had a couple like a a a their, 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, a, like, a, like, a their, like, a their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, a their, a their, a their, a their, 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, a, like, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a their, a, a.a, a.a, a.a, athey're on the soldier, oh did I, I thought I put them inside. Normally she put someone inside of the shoe and stuff.

So she had a couple of Wally stickers. And then, but there was loads of stickers like strewn along the floor where kids have taken them off on the route. Oh really? Of loads of like, like, price stickers and barred, the to come in and the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, th................. to. to. to.. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the, to. to. to. the, the, the, the, the th floor. Yeah so that was all good. The what happened last night was problematic though because she was nervous about going in the youngest, we got the oldest in to come in and go because they've got the, she's having the same teacher that my eldest had. Yeah. Because it's the same school. And we said to tell them, tell her how nice she is. And she started saying, she's so nice. She's nice. to. to. their. their. their. their. their. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the oldest. thi. thi. the oldest. thi. thi. the oldest. thi's the oldest. the oldest. thi. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest. the oldest.

And then the youngest is loving life, gone, oh this sounds great. The eldest starts crying because she wants her old teacher back. Oh no, oh no.

Oh God. So I've just switched the problem. She's also got a massive, she's got a massive cut under her eye from the magic. The magic trick. Oh yeah, from the gate and they just wandered in and in like a little single file line, which was sort of quite sad, but it was sort of like, they just went in quite easily because they sort of just momentum to come in.

But this time, we little water bottle in the drawer and then just wandering about and then me and Lou like let her play and she was playing we stood back a bit and then she was playing but then I saw a look up and her eyes darted around to find us and then she sort of, she sort of, and then she sort of waved and then she sort of, it looked amazing in there.

It's not like you're going in and you're sitting at your desks and getting out your quill and you're going, now we're doing six hours of reading and writing, is it? No, because that's what she was kept on going, but I don't know how to read her. I don't know. I was like, you're going to, I'm going, I'm going. sometimes go quiet. We were going but don't worry because you know the teacher and there's another girl from her old preschool that's going there and we was like oh you know someone so she's going there and she was like I know I know the teacher I know because but we'd obviously been over doing it over doing it and overdoing it and she was getting frustrated where the reality is you just

to shut up yeah because nothing said it's gonna be there going to solve being there. You've just got to be there and do it. And also you're saying it, you're almost saying it to reassure yourself. Exactly. Well imagine if he's going for a new job and I kept on going to you Josh. But you know, you do know Tom Crane there, don't you? Yeah, yeah. You know Tom? And you're like, yeah, quick sort of adult man cry, where I got a really emotional and just put a lid on it. Yeah, one of them was, I'm like, no, and then, but I didn't want to cry in the classroom in front of people, do you know what I mean? No, you've got a hard man image. Exactly. I'm the, you know, I'm the nerdi-I, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, 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, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I'm, 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm, the, that. I've got to keep that up, sure I mean. So yeah, so it was good. It couldn't have gone better really, but it is more of a problem for the adult than the kid I think and then you put your own worries on them. But it does feel weird coming home. They're just in school now. That's it? Five days a week. Well, Rob, shall we drop in how mine went? Yes. And then maybe we could you could have a

right to reply. Yeah so Josh is going to take a few months off now after what he's just said on that what's up note? I'm joking. We think for the good of him and his family in the podcast he has a break but you know well we haven't had that yet but yeah we'll drop how it went for you in now, and you can have a listen. I mean, I don't know, that's one of the, you know, like the big things in your life when you bring up a kid and never the ones that really affect you the most. Either that or I'm emotionally dead. I'm pretty confident I'm not emotionally dead. But I... Yeah, that was all right. I enjoyed it.

Insanely, that was the easiest drop-off we've had in months. She was so excited to be going to school rather than nursery. She just went straight in. Loved it. Maybe the day will be a fucking disaster, who knows. But, um, yeah, took the old photo in front of the door with the school uniform on etc I've never done a voicemail that has less to report 1 p.m. update I feel absolutely exhausted just absolutely drained

there's a chance not all of it at all, but quite a bit of tension I've been carrying around in the last couple weeks has been because of this and I just hadn't been engaging with it. Who knew? On the surface, call as a bloody cucumber below the surface. It's been absolute turmoil. God, I'm tired. Oh, there we go. Oh, dog. I'm getting on with turmoral. God I'm tired. There we go. Oh, dog. I'm getting on with the dog now. Are you?

That's good. We took him down to Wittsterborne, he behaved. And I think he's got out of his teenagerie annoying stage. Because they have like regression where they just do whatever they want. So he's listening. And he's he's lap and stuff. Oh nice! That's nice. Yeah and he likes it comes to me yeah we're getting on. I've stopped giving the mega guy or whatever they're like Mike and Mad Dog. I've stopped giving him thumbs up. My daughter's just got into thumbs up. My daughter's just got into

thumbs up. She does it all the time. Be a better animals. No I know but it's just not as cool as cool as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as as th as th as th as th as th as cool as cool as cool as th as cool as th as th as th as th as the th as th as th as th as th as the the the th as th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is th is th. He thus the the thumb thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs. thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thumbs thinks it is. Thumbs up? Yeah, I know. Paul McCartney's ruined it really. Do you know what? An angled thumbs up is cooler than a straight up thumbs up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like, if you do like, sort of almost like a fist in the air bit of a thumb out, whee! But it's like, well done. It's not for me. I should say, before we get on to the correspondence, thank you to everyone that wrote in and to both of us to say that they'd got a lot out of the episode where I talked about anxiety and Rob talked about anxiety.

Thank you to everyone. Genuinely so many nice messages and very much also reflection on how difficult it can be. Do you know what I mean? And how many people are going through stuff? So thank you. I hope everyone's okay and I hope everyone got stuff out of it. We're not going to go on about every week. We're not going to have an update every week because I actually think that might be counterproductive to my recovery. Yes, I don't think you need to keep going over it if it's not helpful. Suffice to say yesterday was a shocker, today

is much better. Yes, well is that the thing it's always it's interchangeable isn't it? It's always changing and whatever you feel today you feel this too shall pass whether itthe messages except one. Oh right, oh no, what's happened? You're reading through all of them you're going, this is lovely. What a lovely community we've created. And genuinely Rob, I was so nice, I was reading them in the back of a car, driving back from filming and I started, I was like, tears were coming down my face reading some of them. That's called crying? That's called crying, yeah. I was crying in the back of a car.

I was leaking out of my eyes. Yeah, something went wrong with my eyes. It's been happening a lot in the last couple of weeks. I can't turn it off. I can't turn it off. Turns out of the pussy. I really hope he can't see me because I'm currently sat in the back of his car crying. Headphones in, so I don't know if he asked whether I was all right or not. Yeah. But did he just ignore it?

Well I don't know, I have my headphones in. But I used to cry in the wait to mock the week sometimes, that was stress. But that was for a different reason. That wasn't due my God, what am I giving a sack? I don't have any scenes I'd like to see. Oh, because I did a gig on Sunday. First one back in ages. The first one was all right, but I was so rusty. And then you do one straight after. And I ended up, I was doing it. It's going quite on. You know what though? Stand ups's really hard you just got to be so funny like all the whole time like it's non-stop like in a pub if you're funny to your mate look at your watch you've

done 10 seconds imagine that for 20 minutes one after the other this is why you get into podcast you can have lulls it's fine in a podcast if I've got nothing so funny to say Josh how you've to th you th you th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I've th. I've thin. I've thin. I've got th. I've got I've got th. I've th. I've got thin' th. I've got I've got th. I've got th. I've got th.

I've th. I've got th. I've got to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm thin the. I'm the. I'm th. I funny to say, I had to say, Josh, how you been this week? Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yeah, so one message, it wasn't as reassuring as I thought he was, I think he thought it was, where he said, hi Josh, I always saw Rob as the start of parenting help, but since you've started to talk about your mental health, I think you've been just as good. Absolutely brilliant. I couldn't believe it. It's really, it's really helped you on the podcast being a bit sad at times. Yeah. It depends what he wants out of it, doesn't it?

What's he looking for? Why do you have anything? Why do you have anything? I've got less funny in the last few weeks? I don't know about that. Because the issue is, it's good, we need to talk about serious topics, right? And everyone's understanding. And we will, and we're not like going, we're never talking about that again at all. We'll come back to it at points.

No, no, but what I'm saying is, a man crying in the back of the car is funny. Yeah. Yeah, reading his Instagram with headphones in, but that's a funny image, but we're here to support you Josh, but um, it's still, you know, was I listening to Rob? What did I put into, into Spotify? Oh, I don't know. What did you put into Spotify? Sad classical? Why do you, do, is it, it's a thing when you sort of go like, right, I feel sad? Let's embrace it and really get into this? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to, to. It. I, to. It's, is, is, is, is, is, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I, is I,, I don't know if you, I mean, when you've had anxiety, when you then get that sad period, it's so nice because it's so much, it feels like a draining

of the anxiety for me. So I really want it. Well, it's just a release, isn't it? Where you know, it's sort of, you're accepting it rather than fighting against it. Yeah, exactly. A good old cry, there's nothing wrong with it, Rob. There's nothing wrong with it. Get it out, mate. Good old cry, then you go, unlikely things, to hear on a podcast. Unlikely, unlikely things, a weatherman would say. Oh, man, I was so bad at the scenes. I was so bad. I hate the scenes. I hate the scenes. If Mott the week had been just a bit of the desk. Stand up bit was all right, that's your stand up. Oh yeah, if you got lucky in your topic came up. Do you know what? I don't know what it was, but every time I'd something on it.

Yeah, you asked. It never spun around to me to sort of Greek myths. Luckily for me, you know, if you've done Greek myths do you know what I mean? You've got that ability. All-inclusive, yeah, fucking wrong, is it? That's a bloody myth. 20 quid to go on that Jetsky. Any more Greek myths? I'll give you one. Right. So, well, correspondence. Genuinely good bit of stuff, Rob. Give that work out from next tour. Well, that's the problem with podcast. I sort of offer I'll draw a line through that and rather than do the hard yards on stage, writing some new stuff. I went on a rant about old people at the gig. I'm really enjoying gigging at the moment, Josh.

I love it. I love it so much. Say whatever you want. I'm enjoying my life. Maybe I miss it without realizing. Maybe keep working, stop thinking. Stop having time to think. Right, okay, let's do this correspondence because we've been threatening it for weeks, don't we? Yeah. Try to, I'll do some. I've got some. Okay, here we go. More tired than Josh. You want one of these? Yeah. there we go. A few years ago we booked a family holiday to Miolka, myself, husband and two kids. The day before I'd been to get to toiletries like to toothpaste and deodorant and left the bag in the kitchen ready to pack in the cases. That evening I cooked a big chili for the family before finishing the packing. I bag of toiletries and he said he'd done it. The next day we flew to me Yulka and checked him to the hotel.

The luggage was brought to our room and I unlocked them as the kids were keen to get out to the pool. Upon unzipping the case, before even lifting the top part, I had an overwhelming smell of chili concarnie. To my horror, when I fully opened the suitcase, the the the the the the the the the the the thapapapapapapapapapapapape, the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, thee, thee, thee, thee, th In error, my husband had packed up the bag of leftover chili concarnie, including rice and guacamole that was supposed to be going into the freezer. The whole top layer of clothes were covered in mince, rice, sauce combo. Oh my God. Oh no! Oh that's getting over for your clothes, right? I had to do whisper-swearing under my breath and my husband whilst the children dug around the chinny-scented

clothes to find their swimmers. To the stay we laugh about it every holiday and I have flashbacks every time I open a suitcase. I thought she was going to say every time I smell chilly.

That's from at the Scanlon on Instagram. Dear Josh and Rob. Yes. This is things you want as a kid. Oh, nice. When I was in my early teens and won probably the best prize I've ever had the luck to win. Oh, go on.

Our local radio station, Southern FM, now Hart, was running a competition to win VIP tickets to the Mobos. The lineup at the time was incredible. Craig David, Artful Dodger, Lisa Left Eye Lopez. Oh, that's a big name. She's told to that point, to name a few. All you had to do was call in and name the second clip they were playing. Soon as I heard it, I recognized it, and rushed to the phone to end the the competition. I was beyond amazed that I'd got through and was told that I was third in the queue to give my answer. With this I thought I had no chance but held on just in case. Lo and behold, the first two people got it wrong, so they came to me. I managed to nervously give the right answer to the question. What happened next next nexturr-o' their the the the their their their their, to their, their, to their, toe, their, their, their, their, their, was their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, was, their, and I was their, their, their, their, their, I was, I was, I was, I was, I 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 gave them my details and they were calling the next day to make all the arrangements. The next morning the radio station called and I

was brought down to the ground with a thud. It was only at this stage do they tell me that I had to be 18 or older to win the competition. Oh no! So they would give me an alternate prize. A 60 pounded to the thousand. A that. A that. A that. A that was. A that was. A that was. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th. A th.

I remember my mate bought a Will Ferrell DVD from it was like funny things he did on Saturday I probably like cash in your daughter from Azda and it was 42 minutes it was 18 pounds. Oh yes.

Can you remember your first mobile phone? Yeah I bought I bought it the week to go to university I bought

a Nokia 3310 so that would be September 2001. So I had a flip phone that I bought off my mate out of his boot because I'm from South London. Oh yeah of course you bloody did. It was a motor roller and I remember the main selling point was WAP enabled. Oh wow so that was later than mine then right if it was WAP enabled. Yeah I know I'm I'm a bit younger in you I don't't want to, you know, show up. No, no, no, of course. It was WAP-Enable, I don't know what that meant. What was it was WAP-A-N-Tah-WAP-T,

Yeah, it was WAP-A-N-T-Hugged. top it up it wouldn't receive calls. Oh that is bad. That's terrible on it. That is bad. I was on orange and you it was pay as you go because you were you were Matt you know one had a contract at that age did they? No. No and it was 10 peer texts but if you topped up 50 quid you'd get everything half price so five peer text. Not bad. But like I had a friend who was on contract and he just text you loads and you'd be like I can't. I've just spent a quid mate replying to you. I had one that cost me 10 P to get a message. No, honestly early days of phones was savage. It was awful. Do you remember I mean massive camera phone, Nokia camera phone, remember that? No I didn't. I remember a kid at school. My to have one at school. Actually, let's not say the names. I don't know where they're up to.

It's very difficult for me. For you, when you say people's names from school, they're normally just in a cottage in Devon, having a lovely life, where the people I went to school with. They're like, have they murdered someone? They're like. 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'rethree I can think of that have. That's genuine. Do you know what have you've done very well for yourself? Well this actually is someone that I'll work with in Chisler Sangebriz. Go on then. Horrible, Josh, my husband and I both worked in Sangerys in Chisler 20 years ago. Oh my god I'm old.

I was there at 16. I was on £3.61 an hour doing yogurts. Friday night 2 PM to 10 PM. That's not bad. That's not about 3.61. The thau. The real social life killer shift. Oh, that is horrible. Awful.

For 3 pound 61 an hour. Anyway, you want to start something. I worked on the local Safeway for summer. And my job was to get the stuff from the supermarket and put it in a big cage on wheels and take it to the garage up the road. Right, OK. So it's almost like you're not on trolley's, but they level up from trolley.

You said that the garage would give you a list of everything they needed to fill the garage and you have to go go go go go go go to go to go to go to go to go and fill it from the supermarket. But the people in the supermarket didn't like you to take it. So basically you had to kind of covertly steal this stuff from the supermarket and then take it out of the road. It was quite the summer. Yeah, that sounds fun thu. It was fun though. fuck all. I did not. I just wondered about chatting. Honestly. Yeah. I just was so couldn't be bothered. It was nice. I used to get to clean the jet wash with the jet wash. That was

fucking brilliant. That's like trying to take a photo of your phone. It's impossible. I, mate, I've been playing so much that jet wash game. Oh yeah, now that lasts your life. I did that for real, that was my summer. All I can 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 th. I th. I th. I th. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I've tho.

I, when I, oh yeah, now that lasts your life. I did that for real mate. That was my summer. All I can see now is dirty walls that need work. It's not colouring in like, but the reverse. It's just so mind, my brain's constantly going and it's so mine. I'm normally, I'm listening to a podcast, because I can't lay and just listen to a podcast. If I'm listening to podcast, I'm walking, I'm listening to podcasts, I'm walking, I'm tidying, playing computer games, driving, I need to be doing something so it just gives me something to do.

Hi, Robert, Josh. My husband and I worked with Rob, Insane's in Cheers, 20 years ago. We got together whilst working there. My first shift, walking back from from a pub someone had been stabbed. Whoa! So my mom picked me up that night. Didn't go out in top that safe way I tell you that for free. On that that hill as well I got beaten up and someone hit my chips. Oh no we got also around the first car nicked from around the back of the house in the house in the yeah great what I was in between and all in a a a in a in a in a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that was in that was in that was in that was in that was in that that that that that that that that that that that that I was was was was was was that I was was that I was was that 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 that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was in the the the the the the the the the the the the today was took I was took I was tot tot is tot all tot all tot all tot all t No, I'm in the nicer bit now, don't you worry about me.

Well, I was in between Motenham and Chislerst, and Mottinum was a bit of chisleurst, and Chisilers, but it was a lot of... it was like where gangsters moved to basically when they got a bit of morning. Right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. enough of that. We have had our third son four weeks ago. So who's this? What's the name? Char and James? She don't like finishing a word, does she? But I imagine that Charlotte? There was a Charlotte? There was a Charlotte? Oh, Charlie? Oh, Charlie is a short of? Yeah. So we're at the Prue, having given birth. On the prudential? So the prudent? So the prudent. So the pr hospital in the local area so I should expect. This is very South East London. It is the prince... Does he think of any fucking words? It's... She went to school with me, Josh, no. So we're at the Prue, which is a princess royal university hospital. Oh, that's like a locks bottom way. I haven't given birth in the pool, in the oasis ward, I'd asked my husband to take photos and vets of the birth............... A. A. A. A. A. A. 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 in the pool, in the oasis ward, I'd asked my husband to take photos

and vids of the birth, as I regretted not taking many of the other two. When I got back on the bed having been stitched up, I asked him to send the picks out of me. Suddenly the midwives and I hear, fuck, from my husband. His WhatsApp has defaulted to the last chat. Obviously he did not know that this happens. He'd sent 48 picks and videos of the birth to a group called Lads, Lads, Lads. What's that? That's a bit on the nose, isn't it? Like, come on. Come on. Have a minute. I'm all like that round here. That's why I'm the nerd lad. I'm the thespian of this area. I'm the arts guy. I'm an art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the art. I'm the I'm the art. I'm the I'm a the I'm a the I'm a the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm the I'm 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 t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm t. I'm the t. I'm the the t. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the lad. I'm the thespian of this area.

I'm the arts guy. I'm an art, I'm the arty, I'm the arty farty one, okay? So lads, lads, lads, thirty lads on a group. We're talking picks of me naked in the pool, me being stitched up, the placenta he was born. He even moves a camera angle around for a full frontal vaginal view just in case of any doubt that I'm definitely naked in the sea of blood. Oh my God. Before he had a chance to delete the messages he had replies

saying congrats as if that's how we'd announced the birth. He then managed to delete for everyone and sent a posed pick of us with the baby, only for someone to say, oh, it's not another one of her in the pool, is it, for fuck sake? I just hope no one has auto saved to camera roll enabled. So that'll be a shocker when they'd gruck sharp in a phone montage. Why would you have that enabled that to be? feature in the history of phones. You know some people don't know how to turn that off, Josh, I didn't for ages. It's mad. Who wants every photo sent to WhatsApp group? Because that's going to be

in a memory for someone in a few months. Some builders going to be on site. Oh here we go, lad's lad's, lad's lads, lad's memories. Oh, there th. the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th's th's th's th's th's tho' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th'er's th'er's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th's th' th' th'er's th' th' th' th' th' th' th' th' thr-a'er's thr-a'er's thr-a'er's thr-a'er'eea'ea'er'ea'ea'er's thr-a'er's thr-a'er's thr-a'-he's that bloke I met in a stag do five years ago's wife naked in a pool of blood. What a lovely memory. Love the podcast and said he love to Josh Drew and what sounds like a shitty stressful time. Shah and James. Oh, thank you. There we go. Shah and James from South East London.

You want a Boomer parenting story? Hi parenting how I have some boomer parenting for you even though my dad, he's not quite a boomer, but I feel this counts. Oh, and I should say as a warning, this story is about the tooth fairy. When I lost my second tooth as a child, my dad photoshopped a picture of a cartoon fairy sitting on my bed next to me while I was sleeping and hid it under my pillow with some money. That's a nice thing to do, right? As my dad is very th is th is th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi. I have thi. I have thi. I have thi. I have thi. I have took thoomomomorrow, I have the the the thoomorrow, I have the their, I have their, I have their, I have their, I have their, I have their, I have their, I have a their, I have a their, I have a their, I have a their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I have a their, I have a their, I have a their, I have a their, I have a thi. I have a tod, I have a today, I have a today, I have a today, I have a today, I have a today, I have today, I have today, I have a today, I have a the. That's a nice thing to do, right? As my dad is very good with Photoshop, this picture looked quite believable. So next day I took the picture into school to show all my classmates and my skeptical teacher who the previous day had told me the tooth fairy wasn't real. That is incredible decision by the teacher. Some teachers. Oh I've got good gossip about a teacher in a school near me. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'll to to to to show to show to show near me. I I I'll to show to show to show to show near me. I'll to show to show to show to show to show. I'll to show. I'll to show. I'll to show me me me. I'll to show. Oh I'll to show me me me me me me me me me me me me me to show me to show me to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show to show.

I'll the the the the the the the the the the told me me. I've to show me. I'll to show me. I'll to show. I'll tell you in a minute, do this, I'll tell you after. To prove that not only was the tooth very real, but she had taken the picture, and she had taken a picture with me while I was sleeping. This is definitely not one of the

worst parenting stories, but I feel it needs to be shared. I think that's a nice thing for the dad to do. I think that's that's that's that's thin's thin's thin's the thin's thin's their their thin's their their thin' thin' their their their their thin' thin' thin' tha's tha' tha' tha' thea' their tha' tha' tha' tha' tha' tha' their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tha. tha. tha. tha.'s not get too, let's not get too dark. I don't want to be giving some sort of evidence and inquiry in a few years time. Give me some teacher Goss. So there's a new head teacher at a school near me, I won't say which school. And they haven't passed their probation because the school of governors decided they weren't suitable because of some of the weird stuff that was th stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff stuff.... th. So th. So th. So th. So th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi's thi, their thi's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the. the. to to to to to to to to theeeeeeeeeea. to their their their their their their the turned up to like one PTA meeting and left after half an hour haven't been back. Yeah. Which is not good is it? So when they had sports day, no one could win. What? No winners? Isn't it going to be the other way? No losers? Rather than no winners? So everyone won? Everyone won. The Daily Mail thinks is going on at every school. Well, it is at this one. So a. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone? Everyone. Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone? Everyone?

That's what the Daily Mail thinks is going on at every school. Well, it is at this one. So a kid crossing the line. Wait a second. Wait. Come on. Yep. Everybody won. Well done. So obviously other people did win. And they still have to time it.

And because they have like, schools have like records. You know, it needs to know what time we've done. Yeah. So what they would do in private was a prize prize, people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people. People. So, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, people, a their, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, a kid, so, so, so, a kid, a kid, so, a kid, so, a kid, a kid, a kid, a kid, a kid, a kid, a kid, a kid, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, their their their their their their th thi thi thi's their thi's their thi's thi's their the kid, the kid, the kid, the kid, it and because they have like schools have like records you know they need to know what time we've done that yeah so what they would do in private was a prize-giving so they take the kid out of the class give them the medal and certificate and then have the photo taken that they sent to like the parent and put on the website or whatever but then they had to give back the the. the trophy trophy the trophy the trophy the trophy the trophy the trophy the trophy the the trophy the the trop trophy their trop trophy their their their their their their their their their their their their tro their their try. try. 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 troe is is troe. troe. troeatroeatroe. tro. tro. troe. tro. troe. troe. troe. their their that in the class? Unbelievable. Love it, absolutely love it. And they could take the medals home but one had to have them in the class. Could have done with that when we were in Edinburgh, couldn't we, Rob? Everyone won. I used to really care about awards, but it's absolute bullshit.

It's total bullshit. The Jim Carey speech. Have you heard this? Shall I play it to it? It's brilliant. It's when he's given out an Emmy and he's so funny. It's on YouTube but I'll play it anyway. Is it Golden Globes he's given out. Let me play this for you, I think you'll appreciate it. From the upcoming film, True Crimes, please welcome two-time golden globe winner, Jim Carrey. Thank you. I am two-time Golden Globe winner, Jim Carrey. You know, when I go to sleep at night, I'm not just a guy going to sleep. I'm two-time Golden Globe winner, Jim Carrey, going to get some well-needed shut-eye.

And when I dream, I don't just dream any old dream. No, sir. I dream about being three-time Golden Globe winning, actor Jim Carrey. That's good. Because then I would be enough. It would finally be true. And I could stop this terrible search. For what I know ultimately won't fulfill me.

But these are important these awards. I don't want you to think that just because if you blew up our solar system alone you wouldn't be able to find us or any of human history with the naked eye but from our perspective this is huge he's good at it one more time here are the nominees he just doesn't nominees that's an amazing good that is good this episode.

Right, one more correspondence, I'm really, you know when you're like, I'm going to share that clip, so many people. Yeah, it's a great clip because it does. I sort of noticed that when I went to the Baftas, there are some pathetic people in this world, Josh.

There are some pathetic people in this world, Josh. Oh, there are some people. Really? And do you know, the worst ones, the ones that have won it loads of times already? Because they still care, because it isn't filling that hole. I work with someone, Role, someone behind the camera. So there's no one, I'm not going to, no one's that. It's not someone anyone anyone else heard. I love hearing you panic when you say to that you think might be slightly controversial. I work with someone and they were obsessed with winning a Bafter. You have a good show and you'd be like, oh that was good and they go, I think that might be the one that wins the Bafter you like, fucking get a, mate, leave it!
