A transition I found. There we go, drink it down. Don't rush it. You know you've got here. Keep being sexy and relatable. Hayley. 434 months. Lovely. That was a nice clip, wasn't it? Yeah.

But I've enjoyed going up west, I had a Chipotle for lunch, we had Nandoz the day before. Yes, we're doing well. Don't tell this, because Lou and Rosie are this and they know what we've been doing.

What, having a tapotal? I think I can just get her one. Yeah. How is it with the kids Josh? Let's have a catch-up on kids. We've got some correspondence. Yeah, schools going well. She's loving it? Yeah, she's loving it. She's loving it. Which I know isn't good content. We've got we've got situations coming up. What? It's her fifth birthday. Oh, the big one. The big five. The big five? Yes. So we're kind of organizing that. She's doing a joint. 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 f. their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their.

How's that planning going because I've got a bit of a birthday issue with my kids? It's been quite stressful because we were just about to announce the date of the birthday. What like the royal family? Yeah. And then it turned out someone else is holding a party on the same day. What in that school?

We're not from our school, from the nursery. It's still, we're still really on that scene if you know, I mean. We've only been at school for a month. So are you inviting us to the party? We haven't discussed this yet? I imagine we will. We will. We will. We will. We'll need to. We'll to we need. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the school. the the the the school. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not got to accept the transition. Yeah, definitely. And still the nursery friends. I'm more, yeah, obviously we're not binning them off. We're not like, well, I delete all your numbers from my diary. You're dead to us now, we're not in that nursery. I would. Is that what you do? Yeah. Do you do that with everything? Me and Lou are having a little bit of a back and forth about this because in my four-year-old...

You deleted her number when you are... Yeah, I blocked her. No, so basically my four-year-old's birthday is coming up and we're in the WhatsApp group with all the kids in a... in her school there's two years. Yeah, so there's two year groups for each year. What? So, they two reception classes. Yeah, right. So with my oldest, what we did was, both the classes sort of split off into, so it's like an A class and a B class. Yeah. So there's, but not one's better, but just the way they've labeled it. So I'm in a what's that group in with all the year two, two year two months and dads for one side of the year? th.... th. th. to one. to one. to one. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the year. th. the year. the year th. to th. the year th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So the th. So the the year th. So the year the year the year th. So the year the year th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. the year. the year. th. the th. th. th. th. the. the. the. to to to to to the. to to the. to the. the. the. the the. the. the the. the. the. the. the year. Just one group. And there's about 20 kids in that class, 25 kids or something, right? 2025 kids in that class. And then 20, 25 kids in the other class. Okay? Yeah. So, now, the

reception year is the same about 20, 25 kids in each class. However, together, there's about 40 or 50. So, at a moment, there is one WhatsApp group existing and they're inviting everyone to the birthday pie. What? Mental? No. So it's, so I was like... So you could say now officially if you're listening to this and your child is in the same year as your daughter but not in the same class, you don't want them there.

Not that I won't want them there. They won't be there. Because the only way to, basically, what the, forget me being a bit like comedically harsh, but we've booked a hall that can only have a certain amount of people. We've booked the Palladian, okay? Now we've booked like a church hall thing, but you can only get a certain amount of kids in there, but with my daughters, like cousins, there are a couple of friends from nursery and then adults. Oh, now we see.

We just talk. Girl the old big chat. But so so that we literally can't get both sides of the year. So I said Lou we need to send out an invite. How would you do it? Would you start a new WhatsApp group? I've already done it in person. What do you mean in person?

What you went up to each person? No, so... Like when Simon Cowl put some through to bootcrap. Right, can you all step forward? You're going to bootcow. I've started getting kids from the other year and put them in little like groups. No, so basically we're at the school gate and I was chatting to the dads in the year two group about something went how's your youngest getting on I was like yeah good blah blah blah went but however there's only one what's that group they haven't split off into there they've they've no split off into the group yet and they're inviting everyone to parties like that and then it's a couple of the parents from the reception class were there and I was like it's mad this that we haven't thridden that that that that that that that that that that that that that th I th I th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th thus th th th thus that that that that that that that that that that that the the that that that that that we that we that we that we that that we that we that we that we that we that we that we that we that we that we that we 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 th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that the too many. Like that. And I went, it's ridiculous.

I went, no offence, when it's my daughter's birthday, we're only inviting one half of the year. Right? And I went, it's mental. And then one, it's mental. And then it's mental. Yeah, because there's you sending out the invites or have you done it? I don't know, I've left Lou to deal with that.

We had a bit of an argument about her. But I'm not trying to be horrible, I'm not trying to be me, I just think going forward, it's a lot easier to just have your daughter. they're separate and then they mix them next year. So then next year when they're mixed, we invite that group. It's not like, you know, but then it does get complicated if they do make friends with a kid that gets mixed, but I just can't have 45 kids at a party, Josh. Is it gonna be on your house?

No, but if you have 45 kids at a party, no, no, if you have to have 45, and both, and both, and both, and both, and both, and both, and both, and both, to...... to. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, they. to, to, to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. It, th. It, but, th. It. It. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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 drop-off party though. Are you a drop-off party? Do you know what you mentioned drop-off parties? In the book? Oh yeah, the excellent book we've just recorded. That's available. No, but when they're in reception sometimes people don't like to drop them because they're a bit younger. Yeah, yeah. So if I have 45 kids and both their parents come, I'm up to 150. Oh my word. You know what I mean? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their th th tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. their tho. tha, I'm trying to be sensible. Yeah. So I'll take you through our own issues, Roll. So what's the issue of your party? So... Where is it? Talk me through the party. So we were going to do it on the day of my daughter's actual birthday and her friend's birthday. Then the other mumm that we're doing daughter's having a party. Oh and we were like oh my god if only we just put it on the what-tap group we would have

gizummed them. Exactly that's what I'm saying but then you've got to get in early it was literally the only date we could do so these people generously stood aside and moved their to the Sunday oh so so so the some and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 the the the their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the they. the the they. they. the the they. the the they. the the the the they. the their their their their the the the on the day? I felt instant guilt. So but where's the kid's birthday though? They've moved it to the Sunday. But when's that kid's birthday? In the week? It wasn't, no it wasn't on the yeat. I think that's fair because it's on the day but that is good of them. They need some. Very good of them. And they and so, then we've been struggling to get a venue. Because it's quite, it's quite close.

Oh God, so you haven't booked anywhere yet? Well, today, I booked... Room above a pub? A fifth, is it a fifth, yeah? Not their 18th? Okay, so you've got room above and pub? 75 quid extra if you want an open bar within the room. I'm not paying the 75 quid. So you haven't got a bar?

Yeah, downstairs, you have to go downstairs and get your drinks. I think that's okay. It's quite a good way to escape the party from it. Oh, I don't think you can have an open alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol alcohol I think so. Yeah, do the charade of yeah, if you want to drink go downstairs. Yeah, so originally I'd get around in then I'll just stay down there just bringing the drinks up. Originally Rob we'd been going to do it in this church hall where Rose had been to a Charles party before and seen that they could have a bouncy castle within the church hall. Perfect. So we were like we're going to do bouncy castle. That's going to be the big deal. Yep. I've told my daughter about this this morning. Then the church hall falls through this morning.

Oh no. This pub we've got now, no bouncy castles. Can't get it in? No. So she's not going to have a bouncy castle? No, I'm slightly worried about that. Have you told her yet? No. What are you going to say? I've been here. Sorting out this lunchtime, but not telling you because I thought it's good podcast that. So also as well, it's not like, oh, I'm really sorry but we can't have a bouncy castle because mommy and daddy can't afford it too to book it. That's not the problem. It's not the problem. It's you you you you you you you you you you you you you you's you you's you you you you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you th that you th th thi thi that you didn't that you didn't that you didn't th. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th.

So, that that that that that that that that that that that that that th and daddy left it too late to book. But good news, there's an open bar downstairs. Yeah, great news. If you want a little Jaeger bomb, our favorite to Pete. Um, so, so I was like, can we drink at this event to the, to the pub? Yeah. Because I was like, have we allowed to have alcohol in the room with, and they were like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the the they they they they they they th, th, th, th, to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to, to, if I, if I, if I, if to, if to, if to, if to, if, if, if, if, if to, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to to to to th.

And then you sent their save the date out and then they had to move in for you. Very nice pub. They've done us a big favour. They asked us what we'd like for catering. We said cheese and tomato pizza and sandwiches, we're happy to play for that.

They came back and said we're more than happy for you to bring her own food. Oh so they're not going to. They were, I think they realized. Is it probably a fancy pub? You've never been there. No. So how do you know about this hall? It was recommended by the church hall and other people I know. The church wouldn't send you somewhere bad, would they? No, no exactly. So what's going to be at the party? I think we'll have face painting. I think we'll have. Okay, I'll rephrase the question. What's been booked? Oh, face painting. Oh, you've got one. Yeah, okay. I think we'll do craft table. That's good. And then we need a big hitter. We were, we thought if we had bouncy castle, we'd get away without entertainer.

We were going big. Yeah. But you need something. You need someone to run the day. Yeah. We went to one without an entertainer and the kids are getting to the age where they can just play in their own right. True, but if you are just in a pub, they're playing a... We're not in a park. We're not like in the corner of...

There's not going to be someone watching Sky Sports above it. Mine the dance, kids. No, but I'm just saying if you're in a smaller room, you're going to need to to to to to're going to need someone to otherwise it would just be chaos would it? Yeah, we'll see how it goes.

I. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I thought I'd do an update on I'm not very anxious and I'm sleeping better. Right you do seem a lot better. Yeah do I seem chilled? Yeah talk us through your journey. What is it you're doing now? What am I doing now? Yeah that makes

you feel good and sleeping. Let's not talk about that. For anyone who didn't they know Josh did a little... Yeah the comedy old Eric Mork. Yeah. The old Eric Morkom sounds like a euphemism. I had a bit of the old Eric Morkom last night. Oh, mea. Meditation. Yeah, that has taken the anxiety right down. So when do you do that? When you're getting anxious or just in the morning and in the evening? Do you know what I did it in the car? D driving the driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving driving. Driving driving. Driving driving. Driving driving. Driving driving. Driving driving. Dr driving. Dr driving. Dr driving. Dr driving. the car. the car. the car. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the? driving? I was very relaxed but the other drivers were, I tell you that. Well, it's about me. I've got to start putting myself first. I was chilled as fuck. So I did it in the car here because we get given a car to get here. Yeah, yeah. Not given, you get a tax tax tax. Yeah, yeah. And so the, um, I just felt like, um, I didn't, it was a bit weird because I was just

sat in the back of this guy's car. I do it all the time. Do you? So how are you meditating? I know there's different ways. I shout a mantra, I shout a mantra. I shout a mantra, which is really really. I'm the the the the the the the the the th. I'm the the the the the th. I'm the the th. I'm th. I'm the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I just just. I just. I just. I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just. I just. I just. I just. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm just, I'm just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I? Of course. As long as your mantra's not turned there. No, so I've just, to him, I've just got my eyes closed. Okay. But I did feel weird. I put my headphones in to appear like I was doing something. That's fine. So you meditate, you don't have anything playing on your headphones. No.

I've got a mantra. But you do it in your head. Yeah. This this this is it true? Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld. Do you want to hear some of the celebrities that I was reading about? Go on? Cameron Diaz. Oh yeah. Yeah. Josh Hom from Queens of the Stone Age. Okay. Yeah. David Lynch the film director. And then Sam Aladice. Big Sam. th. 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. thiii, Jerry. th is th is th is th is th is th is th. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. J, Jerry. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. th. th. th Sam Allardice. Big Sam Aladice. Big Sam! Big Sam! Do you look chilled? Does he look quite chilled?

Oh, I suppose he's in a stressful job. So you just sit there and you do whatever it is, whatever it is, some sort of breathing with the mantra. 20 minutes of repeating that mantra, Yeah. But you can't tell you. Fair enough. What is it? What is it? Yeah. It's also my pin number. That's why I can't tell you. 7568. 756. So anyway, I did feel a bit weird in the car. Yeah, go on. I'll just say like with that there must be ones you can't have like the mantra. They're given to you. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. What, th. What, th. What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what's th. What, what is, what is, what is, what, what, what, what, what, what, what is, what, what is, what, what, what is, what, what is, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what th. What th. What th. What th. What th. What, what th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. What's, what's, what's thi. thi. What is it's, what is it's, what is it's, what is, what is it's, what is it's, what is, what is it's, what is, what is, what is, what's thi that with that you thing, there must be ones you can't have like the mantra.

Like, is it not, are they given to you? Oh, okay, you can't let you. You don't know whether everyone's got the same one. You can't have five, six, seven, eight you might start dancing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I thanna's got that. So you're in the car, the thua, tha, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, of course. Which isn't the ideal aim. Yeah, my anxiety went down but then it came back up again when I did it. I'd recommend anyone to go on a TM course though if you suffer anxiety because it's really chilled me out. And the other thing is I've been doing things

for my sleep. Right, you're sleeping better. I've slept well for three nights in a row now. You do look like somebody's joined a cult. Yeah I have. I've got you've got that over excited energy that you're excited about your life. Yeah, because I'm awake. For the first time in three months. I'm awake. To the man, to the machine. No, because I haven't been sleeping for three months. No. So yeah, I'm doing this sink called sleep, sleep restriction. Okay. Where they go through a d like the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's thi. I's th. I thi. I th. I th. I th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's the. I's the. I's the. I's the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm to. I'm t. I'm toe. I'm toe. I'm te. I'm te. I'm te. I'm the the. I of how much you've slept over the last week or so and it's often so it'll be a lot and then a little a lot and then a little because that tends to be how it works when you're struggling for your sleep. Right. What is a lot and what's a lot and what's a little? So I'd end up having a bad night around three hours and then a good night. And then they average it out. And you're more just sort of collapsing with exhaustion at the end of the day. Yeah, exactly. So she averaged it out and she was like you are sleeping on average six and a half hours

a night. Okay. A bit more than Thatcher. Yeah, exactly. And so she said, you've got to just stick to that. So never over sleep. So I've got to do six and a half and a a a half and a half and a half and a half and a half and a half and a half and a half and a half and a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. to be to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. to bea. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. the the tha. the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their ss. their ss. their ss. thea. thea. thea. thea. theya. thea. to. theya. to. to. to...... Sa. Sa. Sa. Sa. Sa. Sa. So never over sleep. So I've got to do six and a half hours sleep at night. So I've been going to bed at ten and then lying there and getting head up to bed. But now I'm going to bed much later Rob. Okay, so what's going to bed at half eleven and waking

up at six. See, going to bed at half eleven makes a little anxious because I'm like that's too late. Yeah I won't get enough. Yeah. Yeah. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. I'm that. that. that's. that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to th. to th. to to be to be th. thi. the. to to be to be to be to be th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. So thi. thi. thi. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. So theee. So the. So the. So th And what if I don't get to sleep then? Then I'm only going to have four! But actually it's much better because you're not, you're going to bed naked. Yes. And also, if it's not working, get up after 20 minutes. Don't just lie there. Go downstairs. Listen to a podcast or something till you feel tired and then go back upstairs and try again. What if you live in a bungalow? Just, you're fucked. You're fucked. Find some stairs. Find some stairs. Just get on the roof. Sit in the car.

Yeah, exactly. Sit in the car for a bit, then come back. Oh, that's good. Yeah, so I'm feeling much better. So that's going well oh yeah but my tension head up because I was getting blocked up nose and tension headaches and apparently if you sleep on your front you can get that so my wake my nose is way clearer and and stuff and my tension headaches have calamed down a bit because those are

possible to change sleeping positions nothing nothing's impossible have you not seen the Adidas Advers? But it's not based around you changing your sleeping positions. Why not? Sign me up! Why can't I get a deal just me laying there fully rigid? Time to the Adidas Pajamas. Someone said, a good way to stop sleeping on your front is, put a tea s-shot on that's got a little pocket on your chest

and put a tennis ball in it. So so so so so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th in th in th in th in th in th in th in th in then when in the night you do roll over into your front, you go, oh fuck, hey, and then go back. Yeah, oh that's good. That is clever. That's good. Oh, oven news. So my eldest. Other news? I thought it said oven. Other news? I thought she said oven. Other news. Other. No, still got a dirty. That's another, isn't it? My daughter got sent her from school on Monday lunchtime because she ate her lunch too quick and was sick. Well, we don't know why she was sick, but she was sick in her lap at lunchtime. So they sent her home in case it was a sickness bug. It wasn't a sickness bug. She's not been six-inch and she was just the happiest, most energetic kid I've ever seen.

So she's been off school all day Tuesday, all day Wednesday, going about first that. Oh, I'd be fuming. In Kate, it's not a sickness bug. I know it's not. No. But so it's weird, because she's six now. It's like having a, like a, like a... What's she doing with? What's she doing? from the uni. I came home the other day and I went, oh what you've been doing today,

have you been helping mommy? What's mommy been doing? She went, mommy's not done all of her jobs. Look at her list, she's not tip them all the list. Oh my word. So she showed me lose, like, sort of, she's got like a notebook and in it was just things she hadn't done. Incredible. That's interesting isn't it because, the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, th. What's, th. What's, th. What's, th. What's, th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. she hadn't done. Brilliant. Absolutely. So that's interesting isn't it? Because does it, six-year-old, does that mess up your day as much as, because when a two-year-old is suddenly sent home from nursery, that is a total game changer? Yeah, but with the six-year-old, is like Lou had meetings and had to go and speak to people but couldn't go because yeah really take a child with her and then also if she is ill she can't be seen just like running around the park but then if she's

fine it's a balance isn't it that's the problem and also like the youngest is going in any way so any sickness bug that the the the th is the the th is th is the th is th is the th is the the th is th is the th is th is so I I I I I I I I I th is so th is so th is so any so any so any so any so any so any so any so any so any so any so any so any th is so any sickness bug so any so any th is so any th is so any th is so any thick is so any thick is thick is to thick is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is so any so I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th is so I I I I I th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is thin is thin is taken. so. some. some. So any sick and I thin is the thin is taken. so. So. So any sick and I'm thin is thin is she's not a sit in this bug. I just think she ate sausage and mashed too quick. Oh God, that's like a dog. I prefer this face-to-face. Do you? Or are you finding it weird? No, I don't mind it now. I felt like it was weird at the start because we'd been sat in these positions all day doing audio book where it's sort of about being precise rather just letting for once but I do quite like not sitting in a car for an hour yeah yeah oh yeah or getting on the train yeah I did have a Chipotle for lunch yeah I know

you said that I just I just can't get over it you must be able to get that delivered to your house I can but it feels sad I though I thought was called the tripotle I never know what I've ordered though because because to to the to to the to the to the to to the to the the to the to the to the the the the to the the the the the the the the to the to the to the to the the the the the the the to the to the 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the It just feels. I thought it was called the Chipotle, I never know what I've ordered though because it never write it on it. I said no rice and there was some rice. That's all I'm going to say. Really? Yeah, that's a shame. You off the carbs?

No, I'm not totally, but I thought it'd been guzzling all the chocolate. It's like Christmas I had so many celebrations. I had a bounty yesterday a little mini bounty in it at my throat a bit that it's hard to choke down. I love a bounty very underrated. Yeah they are good. It's weird isn't it because should I give you a this is like I was just thinking like we're saying we talked differently if I was to read now this is the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference the difference. the difference. the difference. the difference. the difference. the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to.

I was to read now, this is the difference in the audio book and the... Okay, go on. In an annoying turn of events, when we first became parents, it feels weird now. It feels weird now. It feels weird.

But yeah, it's because it's too different, we just, it's two different skill sets, you know, you know. Do you want some correspondence? we just talk quickly about the different doodles we've done. I tell you why don't I talk them through yours and you talk about them. They're on our Instagram. Have you put them up? No no but there will be when we this goes out. Yeah so this is what we were doodling when we were sat. So yours is a scribble and some mountains. colour it in different colours. Oh, very nice. It does look a bit, man. And you have drawn a street. A busy street.

Very busy street. Lots of houses and a road, a block of flats. And then some of the block of flats windows are boarded up. No, they're not boarded up. It's dark. It's dark. Like you know when the lights off lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights lights the lights lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights the lights.

And you can see some people have got their lights on.

So that's night time. I don't know. Because the seagulls fly and I've never seen a seagull fly at night. I assume that's daytime. What does that mean? I've never seen a that's what they do. You wouldn't fly around in the dark. They ain't... I don't know when it is. But the birds don't fly in the dark because they can't see where they're going. What I'd like is someone... Can birds see in the dark?

Um, oh God. Roses doing the pick up and I've got three messages. Oh, well, them. I'll know this isn't good. Nocturnal birds do of course fly at night, but it's not uncommon for other birds fly unless they're disturbed. It's not common for others. So seagull, seagulls do not swim at night. Let's fly. Fucking hell. What's the message is about? Oh, she was just struggling to get back from nursery. And what you're going to do about it? that? the, that, the, that, the, th and th and to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi..

You should have said, oh, what so much you can't get a cab or a bus? No, she's got a cab now. Right, well, um, why don't you just reply. Um, there's a car sitting at home you can drive if you want?

Redefine possible with business platinum. That's the powerful backing of American Express. Terms and conditions apply. Visit MX. C. Here we go. Parents whoure. Do you want this?

Yeah. Okay. Hi guys. Here's an example of how not to parent that happened a few years ago now that has always remained as an example of how not to parent. Also makes me less critical of others. Approx 18 years ago, myself, my wife, and my nine-month-old daughter went on holiday. In the evening, you would go to reception and register for the child listening

service. You'd give them your chalet number, your mobile number, and which restaurant you will be in. So you could leave your child in the chalet. My daughter was safe in a travel cop. Staff would walk around listening for any sounds. This seems Dodge. If they heard a baby crying, you get a call. Different times. Different times. So there'd just be a stranger wandering around the chalet listening for babies crying. Ear to the wall with a glass. Imagine that being your job? Oh my God.

Anyway, shouldn't they just be a strange, like they should all do baby monitors and there should be a stranger sat there to the Italian on-site restaurant. Lovely meal, drinks, wine, etc. All good. It overlooked the beach bar, so he went on to have a few more drinks on the beach volleyball on the beach, even getting involved in a beach volleyball game with the other resident. What? What?

the night? Finally, around midnight. Oh, the beach volleyball at night. No! Finally, around midnight... Jesus. What a late volleyball game. We returned to the reception to let them know we were returning to our chalet, having had a great evening. That's when we were told by the baby listening service

that it ended at 10 p.m. What? No way! That's incredible! Instantly sober, instant panic. Oh my God. We ran to the chalet. Daughter was absolutely fast asleep, and she tended to be normally, totally safe and happy. Lucky as for two hours, she was unmonitored.

Oh my word. Needless to say, we didn't use the service again. Well, that's the service's fault. No. Just use the service until it finishes and then go home. I take the volleyball's a problem. Yeah, yeah. What were you doing? We're playing beach volleyball, actually.

Needless to say, we didn't use the service again, taking her out of us every night and asleep in the push chair. Our daughter is now 18, so no harm done. Regards Andy thagagagagagagagag work. That's a great one in it. Really strong. Do you want one more and then we'll do a bit of a small bees, neaters. Here we go. Hello, my name is Ben and I want to share a story from a couple of years ago with you. Sounds like kids TV. Yeah. Hello I'm Mr. Dumbel. I am only just able to talk about it now. Oh my word. I had my parents my my my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents my parents th. My parents th. My parents th. My parents th. My parents th. My parents th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th. One th.

I had my daughter... My parents had me on the listing service. I had my daughter Daisy then aged two and a bit for the morning and decided to go for a coffee

and a baby Chino at a local cafe that I would often frequent. All was going well until the caffeine began to kick in and I realized that I was going to have to do a poo at the cafe. Oh God. Like many modern cafes it had one of the large disabled lus with the baby change and space to park the buggy. We went in there and I told Daisy don't tou to tou. Daisy was pottering around and she wanted over to the door of the toilet. Oh no, oh no. Which had one of those locks that you just pulled down.

Which one of the large handles? Yeah, I know exactly the, of course. Cool to you do. To make it accessible for disabled people. It turns out this also made it accessible to Curie's two-year-olds who don't listen to their daddy. As she went to lift the handle, I shrieked at her to leave it alone. But it was too late. As I was sitting on the throne, mid-poo, the door swung open right onto the whole cafe of mid-morning coffee drinkers who

turned to look at the commotion. I was now between a rock and a hard place. Oh my god. Daisy would not close the door thinking this game was rather the fun. What would you do in that situation? I think I would say I think I would say someone push her back in and shut the door and I'll hold her and I would hold her by the back of her coat while I did a shit. What would you do? But would you get up in the cafe if someone showed someone, someone pushed her back in? If I was in the cafe I would get up and just do that about being asked?

Because that way the child's in their safe for the parent and the parent and the parent and the parent and the parent and the parent and the parent and the parent and their and their and their and their shame and their shame and their shame and their shame and their shame and the that way the child's in there safe for the parent and the shame's gone. Or what I would do is just leave their open, pick the baby up and go, do we want to look after for you? You crack on. I was now in between a rock and a half place. And she found it rather fun. And I was about two meters from it. Because before, I've ever been in a toilet, we need a poo, and there's no lock on the door. And that's fine if it's a pull open one, but if it's a push in, you're in trouble. Because if it's too far, you can't put your foot on the door, can you?

I've done it before I've got my belt off and the handle, and loopthey try and put it open I can pull it sharp. Oh yeah. Anyway, I was about two meters from the door. That would, that would require, that would require, so I just remember the time I was at a curry house and my brother. He went to the toilet and the, as he went in, he opened a door and he saw a man man bent over and his palm and he couldn't eat his curry and he went over. Because the man was in front of him in his eye line. So he just went on. Oh, oh God. Anyway, so it was two meters from it, that would require a bent over panchow and the ankles waddle. In order to close it.

There'll be no small business to today after this story. It's a big business. Thankfully, a nice young lady raised to my aid and wiped my barm. No, I'm joking. A nice young lady raced to my aid and gently swung the door shut. Allow me to pull my pants and trousers up and make a swift exit from the toilet and cafe. God, would you go back to your seat in that situation? No, you're gone immediately. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life, and I have never drunk coffee since.

What? That's a weird reaction? I don't think. I suppose if he's anxious, a coffee's gonna make him need a poo. He might have a yes. There we go. This is Ben. Well, there we go. Absolutely pleasure.

Thank you, Ben. So Josh, this is a called into schools. Hi, lads, I thought I'd share a story of a time my mom got called into school. When I was around seven years old, my mom was called into school by to. to, to, to, the the to, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So, th. So, th. So, tho, tho, tho, th, tho, tho, that, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, tho, tho, tho, thoo. So, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, telling my whole class that my dad was a murderer and he had killed our brother. Oh my god. Oh my god. Our mum had no idea I was doing this, so I was quite shocked to hear it. But much of the disappointment of the primary school teachers who thought they were getting some sort of weird East Ender's gossip that my dad had another family, we had only just discovered, it turned out, I was still upset about the family dog being put down and blamed our dad for his death. Oh my God. Safe to say mom cleared my dad's name to the teachers and I was told to stop telling everyone my dad killed my brother. Just as an FYI the dog was poorly and needed to be put down so it wasn't like my dad

did it for fun. Loving the podcast keep keep the episodes coming, Louise. Well, thank you, Louise. It's been an absolute pleasure to key your correspondence today.
