Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent,

which I would say can be a little tricky. So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice and of course, tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing. Hello you're listening to Parenting Hill with CB can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett.

It wasn't raining when I come down to the garden. It was dry. And I run to to this room to do recording, but there's no, there's nothing in here. How long's Lou out for? I don't know. No idea. She's not replied to a sex message, so I've just pissed in the garden. That's incredible. Did you? Yeah. Where did you go? It's weird actually because you... A lot of options. And I just sort of think I don't know if piss is good for a plant or bad for a plant so I didn't know ever to pick a really healthy one that could take the damage or go for a one that's struggling and give it a bit of a boost up. Yeah yeah yeah I don't think it's healthy for the plant. So I've pissed in the garden in the rain and now I'm back in broadcasting.

Yeah, because it's they're off for Christmas now, which is a fault, you're suffering as well, because you've got a play date this afternoon, it's kicking off in your house. My kids, loos really able to work from home because then the kids just basically bowl in and so what we're doing. It's slightly awkward isn't it?

It's slightly awkward on December, what are we on? 20th, 19th to go, I'm gonna go upstairs and do a podcast. It doesn't feel right, does it? But it is technically, Rob, it is work. This is work. I'm working. I'm having to put up with you for, you know, an hour a week. Exactly. That's a living.

We're learning of a living, baby. We'll just try it our best. Um, yes, I've got a play date this afternoon. And the house isn't, isn't to the level ofto come around. Okay, if Rose was away and you had this play date happening, is the house for you in an acceptable state? Um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take the fifth on that.

I do that but I just wear books. You sort of need a knowledge of what has VAT applied on it for that joke to work. Yeah, just a cake or a biscuit is one of the takes.

Yeah, whatever the place of the least amount of tax is basically what it is. Anyway. So yeah, so it's a bit messy so you've got to tidy up because you've got a play date, haven't you? You were saying? It's quite a lot of kids. Yeah, yeah. Three of my daughter's friends and their siblings are coming as well.

That's that's a tasty that's a tasty afternoon. Right so what's your plan with the 10 kids?

Well this is my question. The four friends will look after themselves. They'll probably go into your sister into your daughter's room to play. Yes. Because you don't have a playroom in your house because you're as such. You've got like a bit of toys in the kitchen and then you've got their bedrooms. So the four friends are going to the bedrooms. Yes, correct. There's the 18 month old just going to be tearing about. That's it. Being followed by you and rose. What do I do with older kids?

Um, how old? A couple of seven-year-olds and a couple of ten-year-olds, say. Boy or girls? Three girls and a boy. I'd say, normally, whenever there's an older boy at my house, they're desperate to play on some sort of computer or a switch or a PlayStation. So you could, if you had one of them, you could just get that kid set up. I don't know because I'm an adult, no. But I'd say that's normally a good one if you just have a playstation set up, they'll sit there four or five hours not moving. Maybe a Christmas film? A Christmas film?

There you go. That's a good. And I would get sweets and popcorn and make it like a fun thing and put on a Christmas film from the older ones. That's a good one. That's a good one. There's a quiet room in the room upstairs. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay, good work. That's what I'd suggest. Yeah, because I just suddenly thought

I don't know how to relate to older kids. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, also what I've discovered was that they're cleverer, and so like, when my kids were like three and five years. And I was like, I don't, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, I, when, I, when, I, I, when, I, I, I, w. th, I, w. th, w. th, I, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I, well, well, I, well, well, I, I, I, I, I, well, well, I, I, I, I, I, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, I, I, I, I, I, I, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, 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., yeah but I want to and run around of it. I was like, oh okay. I mean they're not that clever Rob that's that's what happened. Yeah, well no, but I was like oh so they just do that they just do that they just don't give a shit and now I've got to try and parent a kid that's not mine. Oh dear dear dear. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's. Oh, that's.

Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not. Oh, that's not? Well, we'll see how it goes. I'm interested to hear how it goes. I think it'll be fun. I'm looking forward to it. Chilling out with the parents.

Having a good old chin wag about the school, that kind of thing. You want to speak to the parents though, don't you? You like socializing, Rob. I'm a socializing. Sound like you're panicked at a job interview. What are your hobbies? Do you know what? It is literally just socializing. I just love it. I'm a man of extremes, Rob.

I like to be at home doing nothing in the evening or socializing. I wouldn't say that's an extreme. That's the thing Rob. No, as many people as possible. Oh, like that kind. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, th. th. that kind. that kind. th. that kind th. th. that kind that kind th. that kind. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to to to to to to to to the tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the the toooo, too, too, too. to to to to to too. the thing Rob. No, as many people as possible or as few as possible. Oh, right, that kind of, okay. So you love it busy in the house and those people coming over and stuff on that. And you pop in a few bottles of booze or something or is it a dry one? What we're doing? Are you still drinking or not? I'm sorry. I drunk at a wedding. Fair enough. That's the standard. Fair enough. That's that's the that's standard. that's standard. that's standard. that's standard. that's, I. that's, I. that's, I. 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. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's.

Yeah first drink in two months. Two months, right. Yeah, how was that? How was that? Well, I saw you the next day and you look very hungry. Yeah, I was more.

But excited by life. Yeah, so, but also, because I've got to the point in those two months where I wasn't that fussed about drinking. And I've been in a lot of social situations where I didn't th I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't the the wedding till after I'd done the speech, because I was best man. So I didn't drink until. Joint best man. Joint best man.

Didn't drink till half seven. So actually, I was one of the more together people at the wedding. What time did you finish then? What did it? Half 12. Right, okay. That's not time? I think our kids go out of bed too early. So my son goes to bed at 645, I'd say, is when Rose tends to leave the room, 650. So like, that's actually in bed to go to sleep, not the bath and all that.

So we take him up at 615, and I'd say he is left in his room between 645 and seven. Okay, sure. And then, and your your your your th. And your th. And 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 tooom. tooome. too. tooom. tooom. tooomoomoomoomoomoomoom. tooom. tooes. tooes. tooes. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. too. too. too. too. toe. too. too. too.

So she'll probably have a bath while... So they have separate baths? Yeah, generally. They had one together last night, but that's rare. So, they have to have a bath together all the time but they're a bit closer in age. Yeah he's quite splashy and not that much of a laugh to have a bath with if you're five. Yeah yeah yeah who is a laugh to have a bath with? I don't know someone sexy

I suppose you'll have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be the the the the the the to be their to be to be their their enough enough enough enough enough.

Yeah, for about four nights and then Rose's like, look, we've got to move that bed back up. So what, I think, so how wouldn't you say, are you just sat on a chair next or are you in the bed with her? Set on a chair. Read to her, she goes to sleep really quickly because she's you said, look, my five-year-old does take a lot longer. Yeah, some point we're going to have to leave it on our own, but I'm not, I'm in no rush. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Because it's an extra five, ten minutes and it's quite nice because it's just time to yourself. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. before you're on Twitter, screen grabbing stuff to send him mates in this magical moment with your daughter. Exactly. So tell me through your bad times.

Well, they've been going up a bit early, like sixish for a bath and stuff, and then they just play for ages until about eight. So I think we're just going to start doing the baths later and then try to get get him into bed so there's a bit of a momentum into bed because like sometimes they have pajamas on for like an hour and half and then they completely forgot his bed tip but we're a bit out of sorts because of me coming home from Australia and then Christmas fucks it all up because you're out and about and about and about and stof. So what time is it? Robin Lou and the thou to the sofa? the couple couple couple couple couple couple couple. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. the the the time. time. the time. time. their. time. their. time. time. their. time. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the. the. the. the. the sofa, couple of glasses of Lamborghini and shirt rock bones. Well probably about about half eight but yeah about eight half eight but I think but the youngest keeps coming up and down and she comes down the season crawls around trying to jump out on us she would really takes it really hard to sort of go to sleep so then sometimes we lay with her but sometimes she goes off to herself but yeah about eight but I think we need to do the bath too the the to the to to the the to the to to the the to the the to the the the the the to the the the to the the the the the to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their. their. to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

I. yeah, about eight, but I think we need to do the bath later, that's our problem. We're doing the bath too early and they're

in the pajamas and then they just feel like they're just in a new outfit for the day, because it's been like another two hours. But yeah, seven-ish is glorious isn't it? But they've been waking up early and going a bit late because they're so excited because it's too much Josh because we've got, they're off school now and we have two birthdays. Their birthdays are a week just before Christmas. Yeah, it's mental in December isn't it? So the two basically, what is it Monday? It's Christmas the Monday, it goes out tomorrow and Tuesday and then it's Christmas at the end of the week. But then the last two weekends have we've had a birthday in the week and then birthday party and then birthday party the weekend. It's just too much. It's like they do chocolate making the kids seem to love it. It's a 40 minute drive. One, Josh, I went to the M25, right? Yeah. It's a good it's a good. It's a good. It's a good. It's a good.

to go on the M25. I was like, I was literally on the M25 and I got down in like Tombridge Wells and I got them I dropped her off and then some of the parents are going, because it's too far to drive home. Do you have a cup of tea? Like if you're dropping off, because the one we did is like five minutes from us and about five minutes from the school, so it was like, yeah, yeah. It's easy. But I was just like, oh, and then like, when you've got that in your weekend, it's like, I've certainly an hour and a half of driving. And then I did some shopping.

What did you do? What did you do? to get some food shopped and need to get some petrol for the car. Can I ask the question Rob? And you can we can edit this out if it's too sensitive a topic. Sure, yeah. Because you're worried they're listening. Did you go, did you create some shopping that needed doing because you didn't want to have to sit with the other parents and have a cup of tea? Yes. Okay, good. But that's no, that's no, that's no, that's no, that's no, that's no, that's no, that's no, the the that's no, their. their. their. their. that's no, their. their. their. their. th. th. th. thathea. th. that. thathea. thathea. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.'re not a social butterfly. That's fine. No, that's no shade on the parents. I like the parents. I play football with them. We go for drinks. We're very social. I was hungover because I'd got drunk the night before.

And so I was hung over. I was tired. And I've been busy Sunday because I had the kids birthday, then I was on radio too and then we had meetings and stuff so I was, so it wasn't them, it was a reflection on me and I had no energy, I had no energy to chat. So I went and did some invented shopping and got some party food from Marks and Spencer which was nice, but yeah I got really drunk the night before. Oh Rob. I was doing a the th. I was. I was drunk. I was drunk. I was drunk. I was drunk. I was doing a gig, I did a corporate for this music publishers, which is like they have a big Christmas lunch and I had to go and do stand-up afterwards, but the music industry is a different beast, mate. They take themselves quite serious, don't they? Like, there was people

doing speeches that went on for ages. And then I was doing that and it was quite a hard gig to do because they were not always the most receptive crowd. And they were they were they were they were they were they were they were not. their. their. they were not. their. their. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. they were not.

They're from ex-city uni so they all sung carols which I didn't feel comfortable with personally they just sung carols in a pub and I hated that. That must must was was was they they they they they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they just they're just they're just they're they're they're they're they're their their their c.

I love that pomp and ceremony.

I'm a street kid. That's what I am. I forgot. I forgot to get up in that so I had to pick up the birthday cake, Coglands by the way, Bakery, save the day. Because it was our birthday party on the Sunday. I had to go and pick up the cake on the Saturday morning, then I came back, then I had to walk the dog, then I come back, then I had to take my very busy day, Josh. And when you hungover, I wouldn't put that down as my schedule for a hungover man.

No, no. And I'm thinking, so after my drinking at the wedding, yeah. I'm now going to go back into a period of not drinking. Right, OK. I think I'm just going to drink on certain occasions I decide to drink. Right. So what are they? Come on. New Year's Eve is the next one.

Oh, have a beer, have a drink, have a Dorito, enjoy yourself, that kind of thing. So I love only child. Because they were half brother, they were with their, they grew up with their mom. Oh, so you had a quiet house growing up?

We should have got married, you could have done all the chat, I'd just sit in the corner in quiet.

Oh God, Rob, on the putting something in your mouth, I had a bit of a nightmare earlier. I was upstairs having a shower. And my son, who's 18 months, I turned around,

and he had like quite a large black pill. Yeah? About the size of a two-pence piece. Right? And I could see, it in his like not completely in his mouth but like in his hand and in his mouth. Yeah. I took it off him and I was like and it was just covered me in like the black all over my fingers and I was like what the fuck is this? And he had it all around his mouth. And I was like, I'm like, the the tap and I broke it and it just broke into like a pill? the the th. And th. And the th. And th. And the th.

I broke it and it just broke into like a pill. Yeah.

And I was like, like a kind of, looked a bit like a baroque up, but black. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, I was like, Rose. He's a bit of a worry. Is she still sharing this point? He's a bit of a worry. He's been eating a black pill. No, she was at the top.

I got, she was getting dressed. A bit of worry. Just slight worry, he's been eating a black pill. Might have to go away and eat, but don't worry, but don't worry, I got a paucid. And then she was noticeably a worried. I thought I'd been worried. Yeah, I said, don't don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't worry, don't, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, thwa, thwa, tho, tho, tha, the the the their, their, he's they. they. they. they.

I said don't worry, it's fine.

Massive worry. Yeah, massive worry, he's been eating a black pill. I was like, what, what black pills have we got? Right? Do you know what it was? What? It was one of the bits of, from like a paint set? Yeah, the solid until you make. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the, 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, that, that, 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.

The black circle of paint had fallen out of the paint set. That's solid until you make it wet. And that's why it was marking everything the moment it got wet

and why it had black around his mouth. Oh my God. Yeah. That sounds lucky. You saw that. Well, yeah, I don't know. I suppose kids paint is probably not poisonous. Because I... Massive black poos. Oh yeah, that would have been what would happened. But yeah, I don't think it's poisonous, but I don't think you should just let me eat it just because it isn't poisonous.

I just let him have the orange and the yellow on. I just enjoy it. I'm talking you might think. You cannot assume it's safe to drink. Oh, come on now. I think it would be safe like if you were in the Lake District because it's come over like the Pennines, but when you're in Southeast London. Oh, mate.

Okay, I'll do it after the O2. Um, everyone's... I don't have to leave the house twice. Babies, I don't have to leave the a good thing to read out about correspondence for Christmas. One thing that made me laugh at the wedding, not the wedding, the kids party was it. We had an encanto party, so we had a Mirabel princess. Yeah. And Mirabel was there and she'd come out and waved and waved. And then, okay, well, Mirabelle's going now. She's got to go back.

Let's, let's, she's got to go back to Columbia. So, um, does anyone want a photo before we send her back to Columbia? It felt like some sort of like, pretty Patel, like, like, policy. Right.

Then basically they just get to pick what they want all day. Right, what do you think the food will be? They're very keen on donuts for breakfast lunch and dinner which I think they will regret after lunch. Yeah yeah they'll learn a hard lesson. Well exactly gonna learn a hard lesson. But we have to say yes to whatever they so if if if if if if if they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they want they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their say yes to whatever.

We're trying to set up a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, their, their, their, their, their, their, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, to-so-s..... to-s. to aren't they? Yes, so I think we're gonna try and do it as a family. We have a quiet one where we go for lunch and watch a film somewhere. We might try and see home alone, I think that's on cinema. But I don't know if it's too old for the girls. I don't want to scare the shit out ofarts. So Christmas Day we've got Luz mom and dad and sister coming over. Yeah. So they're coming over the day. I'm doing all the food and then boxing day.

I've got my mom and dad, my brother and his wife and their two kids coming over. For the day we're doing food and then we're having sort of a more of a chilled one. We haven't planned much more than that but yeah so I'm hosting and cooking but I normally just get pissed and hope for the best yeah cooking. So what are you doing you're not going back to? Trains, trains? I was going to go down on the 27th with my daughter because taking an 18-month old to Devon for a day is just not to to to to to to to to to to to to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, their their th, their their their their their their th, th, 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, th and I I I th and I th and I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom an th an th an th an 18-month-old to Devon for a day is just not worth it. But I was like, oh that would be a fun adventure, we can get the train down stay out of it. Yeah, that's quite a fun daddy and daughter day out where you can just... Yeah, and she's not kicking a hills waiting for you to deal with the 80-month old, you know what I mean? No exactly. So it would have been great but the old trains have th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the theateateate that that theateate the the the the the the that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that would be that that that that that th th th th th th th th the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the theateate the theateate the the the theate the the the the the the th unless they reach an agreement on that before

the 27th. What I'd say about that though is like they've canced the trains but like in a in a weird world it sort of makes your day easier than it not having to go. Well it doesn't it doesn't not. Are you saying you don't support the strikers? I support the strikers. I support the strikers. I support the strikers. I th-I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I try th. I th. I the try the try try the the tha try tha tha the tha tha tha the the the the tryk. I the the the tryk. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the train train train train train train train train train train train train train tra. I tra tra tra tra tra tra tra tryy tra tra tra tra tra tra tra train train train t the strikers. I support the strikers 100% but I should add I do find the train incredibly relaxing and I presume she'd have just looked at her iPad for the full journey. You could have chilled out. I could have chilled out for four hours. Well, you know I support I think I support the strikers Josh at the moment. I think people people need to be not sort of get political about this, but I very much support the nurses, the postees and the train guys.

And I've just got to say, I'm not saying this from a position of not being screwed, I've been screwed over with the train strikes quite a lot recently, been marooned in different parts of the country and in London. But I'm yeah, people need to earn enough. to to to to to their their to their their to to their their to be their their their their to be their their their their their their their. to be their to be to be their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

I'm try. I'm try. I'm yeah people need to earn enough to provide for their families and have a nice life and I think I think it's good thing I think I think they should pay out personally but I don't know if I've got political all of a sudden I like I think what I would add is in terms of being marooned you have got locked out of your house in your own garden so you can't I mean I think I think lose on stoo their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they their they's their they's their they's they's th is th is th is th is th is they's they's th is tho tho tho they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's their their their their their their their their they their they they they they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's their their their their their their to to to to to to to to tho to to to tho to tho thoooo to thoooooo to their their tho their tho from being my wife at the moment. Had she replied? No, she's not. I think she's probably busy with her two children, so I can't moan too much. So do you know where she's gone?

Probably to the dog for a walk, because I couldn't see a dog either, but he might be cold up in another room. Because I'm literally looking through the window like a sort of shoal. track so never leave trucks though never leave trucks and say so let's let's war game this say Lou is out till six he doesn't reply yeah right okay what is what's the plan is there is there any way out or is that there's a side you can get but then what are you gonna do when you get well I can't even get even if I had a key to the back door I couldn't put it in the lock because there's a key in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tttttttttttoy. tttoy. toy. ttttoy. tttttoy. tttttttoy. they. they. the the the the the the the the what are you going to do when you get?

So even if I had a key for the back door I couldn't. I could asked her. I'm to bring a key. So she could your mother in law. the the the the the th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. the the th. the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their the the the their their their. their. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. t. t. t. t. t. tie. t. t. t. key. key. the the tie. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. the other. let you in. Yeah, so it's not the end of the world I assume it'll be back, but otherwise I'll be sat here. It's war game this, your mother-in-law is out with Lou

and they're both ignoring you. Well I mean, I'm here till I get home and it's warm though, I've got little radio things, so I'm warm enough, I'll just treat it like I'm fasting for a health kick.

Yeah, good. Good work. But I think I'll be right. My new thing is, Josh, what we don't know enough to know if our situations a good or bad thing. Let it play out and enjoy and experience each moment because it actually might something good might come of it. Well, one good bit of advice I always remember because my dad never really gets that kind of a bit like his thousand pound advice which is the best bit of advice. That one is idiot tax yeah is there's no point you know if you're in a bad situation you've got

to be somewhere so you might as well enjoy where you are. Do you know what I mean? Yes exactly. You're always going to be somewhere so you might as well enjoy where you are. Do you know what I mean? Yes, exactly. You're always going to be somewhere. Sometimes it's difficult, sometimes it's easy, but you might as well. Sometimes you're barefoot in a shed alone for the day. And you know what, I'm not a social person, I'm enjoying the quiet. Exactly, Rob. Have you got your PlayStation or something? No, I've got my computer. I've got a bit of a here, I could, do you know what, honestly, if I had access... How much of you is hoping that they don't come back to six? You know what, if I had a pair of slippers and access to fresh drinking water, I reckon I could stay there for a week. Do you know your neighbors? Could you shout across and get them to give you a glass? Yeah, but I think it's you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho that that to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho. How thoo. How much. How much thoooooooooo thoooooooo thooooooooo. How to to to to is a tap though actually tell a lot. There's a tap that I could drink from and I think it's good water. I think you can drink

tap water from the garden tap water aren't you? Not at the hose water from the tap. Why do you put the sprinklers on and like a dog you could try and drink from the sprinklers? hose pipe ban in probably because there's been no water recently as it's been very dry the last couple of years. I think I think maybe 10 I think a hose pipe ban before they stop us leaking before they stop us leaking ours for that that Josh for a bit of politics Josh oh that's what I was going to do I've got some correspondence or was we talking about what we talking about your Christmas? No but gonna do. I've got some correspondence, or was we talking about, what we're talking about? Your Christmas? No, but I think I've kind of covered it, really, haven't I? I've got some good correspondence here.

Should we do some correspondence? Yeah. This is, I've got some really good ones that are coming in the last couple of weeks. Here we go. No, no. I'm that a bit, or big guy. Yeah, yeah. I'm on five for eight. Yeah, yeah. Five at nine really, I just say five for eight because I'd rather underestimate than overestate. Yeah, of course, of course. It's quite needy, doesn't it? I see it was medium height. I am just below, I'm just below around medium height. In Air Force, one below. Yeah, you don't do yourself any favors in the converse Josh. No but I don't want I don't want people to go he's sure Andy

wears a built-up shoe. You should get the Antideck ones where they're hidden in the boot. Right. Have they got some of the cruise ones. Yeah yeah there you can get them. Okay cool. Where they look I like to play a game of what's the worst thing I could reply. Well, my lovely fella actually did it. This was when Rose was a bit stressed and we were working. I always think, what is the worst thing we can say for someone. My lovely fellow actually did it. When the school office texted him to ask, why is Lucy absent thiii? thrific. th. th. th. th. thi, why thi, thi, oday, this will now be recorded as an unauthorized absence. He been at work and not looking properly, thought he was moaning and replied to me, cheeky t t t t t t t t t the school. Whoa! We've only just realized seven months later when they text again that he actually replied

that he actually replied to the school. Oh my god. Too much time has passed to apologize so I'm sure he will forever be on some watch list somewhere love from Mick in Chelmsford. Oh fucking hell that is brutal. Cheaky kc-k that is incredible. Wow oh my god you'd get in trouble for that. What are they gonna do? Ring your mom? Well they might say excuse me but I think it's unacceptable to treat our staff you know like that. I don't they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they can they they can they can they can they they can they they they can they they they th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi tho th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoooo tho. tho. thi thi th excuse me, but I think it's unacceptable to treat our staff, you know, like that. I don't think call our, you shouldn't call our staff. Yeah, you can't, I mean there's not a specific rule, but you can't go around calling our receptionist

to fie. I mean maybe, maybe you could argue that you were being jovial, you're taking a shit. I know. He done a winky smiley face but time out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that may be laugh. Yeah. We've got, oh, this, I think this is really, we've had loads of people talking about the Tom Parry episode about being a, one is about the screens, people that are into baby monitors.

Got some good ones on them. And we've 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 tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thi thi, thi, 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, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th. th. Yeah, th. I thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I's thi. I'm tho tho tho tho thooooooooooooooooooo' thooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Yeah, that's that's into baby monitors and not. Got some good ones on them. And then we've got a good one about Father Christmas, which I'll do after the monitors. So if you're watching me kids, maybe, yeah, stop listening for the rest of the episode. I'll do the monitors first. Here we go. Hi, lads, because theyers oh yeah that Josh no screeners no screen at all no screen I had my my sister's old baby stuff and she just had an audio one so that's what we used old school your audio it's been fine

now hold on to your hats Josh get this second baby didn't even use the audio beyond a couple of weeks when he first went into his own room. What? I just bear back listening with my ears. Whoa! Okay, so we missed him crying a couple of times when we were watching a movie, but only for a minute and it was fine. I did get confused and started lactating to what turned out to be a goat crying in

Miulka though. That's a downside of breastfeeding. Rachel in Crystal Palace. I think it can set it off, can it, crying. Sets off the boob and she started lactating because she heard a goat cry. But there are no screener, Josh. What, fair play, fair play. I respect it. I don't know if I could have been a full no screen. I'm a blank screen until there's a noise. Then the screen comes on with a temperature on. I like that. But I'm not a screen on all the time person. There's a tellain. There's a big thing about anonymous, long-time listener. Rie Tom Perry's return episode. I was a definite no screener. My grandma was Swedish and in Scandinavia there's a big thing about baby sleeping outside and being ditched outside cafes while the parents drink coffee inside. Yeah we've discussed this haven't we? I just used to get my children to sleep and leave him

outside. She put it to see it. To get my kids to sleep I just left him outside in the woods at the bottom of the garden and got them with other things. I don't know if that's a joke. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that's th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't tho. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. I've th. I've th. Yeah. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. Yeah. Yeah. I've th. I've th. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've th. I've th. Yeah. I've th. Yeah. I've th. I've th joke or or if she lives really in the middle of nowhere She was just putting them in the woods. I don't think that's okay. What? I don't mean you could put your kid in the woods. I'm all for no screening but what? What is it's not no children in. Yeah, that's abandoned in your child. Well, they suggest of banning your child in the woods which I wouldn't agree with. No, but, you know, each to their own, I say. There is a well though, wrapping them up warm in a buggy outside. Oh, it is.

Absolutely. The fresh air does knock them out. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So it does work. Get them in the woods. Right now, we got one about opening presents, and one, theyk. th, most kids either have a total right opening presents with chaos and fun everywhere or they open them one at a time in turns. So that's what we, in my house, we used to go downstairs before, we have a coffee but then before

breakfast we all take turns, opening a present, right, one at a time. Our mind and lose it all thing is we do our presents Christmas Eve when it's just us too when we can actually talk to each other and enjoy it. Oh yeah in front of the fireplace. Well the dogs there just watching. Two bodies entwined as one. Oh yeah I don't know about that not down stairs. That's a no-go. What about you Josh? You strictly bedroom? Uh, yeah. Oh. How many rooms in your house have you had sex in, Rob? In the old house, a few. Yeah. In the new one with two young children?

Sometimes one room. Yeah. What about you? Yeah. Yet to Chris in the kitchen, the sitting room. Any of the toilets, any of the kids' rooms, which I think is the correct thing. Hallway? Hallway? Still, still christen free. It's a godless house. Stairs? Yep. At the attic? No. Any basement? No. Basement, no. Anyway, so we are, yeah, we do one at a time, you know, how so you run

at a time, but you're still a bit young, aren't they really? Is there any, what are you doing? What's your plan in the mornings? Oh, present wise, sorry, I thought. Quick rum before the kids wake up? Screwed off. that's their today. We do one at a time. I thakere appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate appreciate thapapapap th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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 that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. Yeah, definitely. I think that's a better way I do. So you appreciate the presents more. Yeah, that's what I think. However, this is different.

This is the third option. I didn't know it was an option. Not in my house when growing up. Starting with the youngest, which was me, the whole family sat and look at them, then put them down, and I wasn't allowed to play with them until I'd watched my middle sister open all of hers. Same again. She'd open them all, we all watched, then she'd have to put them down, and then we would all watch the oldest sister open all of hers. This in total took bloody hours. We would then have a pause while my dad did something with the Christmas ham.

During which we would rush to try, I think he's, I think he's cooking here. I don't think he's got ever won't. That's gonna go at us so out of the Christmas ham. Different room each year. It's his tradition. What was that thing we talked about getting a dick out in the kitchen? Did we talk about that last year? I think we cut that out in the episode in the end. You don't say, I don't know what we said about, I said to get you knob out when you do,

I think we want on a weird thing where when you're in your own in the kitchen quickly get out. Why is that content on the catagram floor? Because basically you were asking adults to expose themselves in the proximity of children and I think we're on slightly rocky ground. Okay, well let's get you knob out while you cooking Christmas dinner. No. Yeah? Okay, right. Anyway, so they, so my dad had to do something with a Christmas ham. Then we had to watch mom and dad open their presents before we could play with. their presence before we could play with. Right. I'm not sure looking back what was worse.

Me having my pile of toys sat beside me desperate to play with and my oldest. My older sister sat waiting that's the worst. Love the pod. Sorry to anyone around me who sees me laughing out loud walking as I laugh along at the nonsense you get up to. Thanks anonymous. Oh wow. That's interesting that even now she can't say her name or yeah, it says I think it's a lady in case the parents get upset. Because that's what it'll be because then if this goes back to to the parents back the parents back the parents back the parents back that's what it'll be, because then if this goes back to the parent, they'll be like, so you didn't like Christmas, did you? And she'll be 43 having to talk to a 70-year-old about Christmas.

You never, you never lose it. Your parents are always there, aren't they? Some sort of politics. thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you. the the the their their their thiiolk. thi. thiolk. thiolome. thiolome. thiolome. thoom. thoomf. thoom. thi. thatease. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoom. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. So, the. thean. thean. I. So, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. So we go, right, this is a Father Christmas one. So if you want listening with kids, please stop now. And if the kids are out the room and away, you know about, no I'm joking. I'm joking. So this is the thing about Tom Harry and his partner were talking about potentially telling their kids that Father Christmas is a real because they never want to lie to their child about anything, okay? And we've had, Josh, I'd say lots of people going, I think that's the right thing to do, I'd never lie to my kids and a lot of other people going, that is absolute nonsense. You should just enjoy the magic, stop being killed joys, right?

So too quiet, load of those out, this which I think is the perfect way to deal with it and is from someone that has experienced both sides of it. So I think it's the answer. Dear Robin Josh, I've just listened to your episode with Tom Parry and felt the need to write in. In response to the conversation around whether to tell kids about the big Father Christmas and whether the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the Christmas. to to the Christmas. to the Christmas. to to the Christmas. the Christmas. to the Christmas. the Christmas. the to 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. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. the. todea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. thea. theats. thea. their their their their. tell kids about the big Father Christmas and whether he is real. I am one of those adults. I'm 39 who indeed was told from the get-go that Father Christmas, the two fairy, and angels, etc., etc., were all a lie. I didn't believe in angels, I'm not fucking insane. I remember telling many other children that it wasn't true and that their parents were all liars. As an adult I contemplated this and asked th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th and asked th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to thi told told told told told told told to to to to to told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told told to their their their told their their told their their told told told their told told told told told told told told told it wasn't true and that their parents were all liars. As an adult, I contemplated this and asked my mom why. Her response was, when she was little, she was scared of father Christmas and also, why should

we be thanking some fat old bloke for the gifts she'd worked so hard for. Yes. Which I'd argue is quite needy. Me, me, me, me, me, me. Anyway, so this is Anna, Anna now she's a grown-up. As a parent myself now, Jake 10 and Neve 8, I've decided to go in the opposite direction. I've handwritten notes from the two fairy left, character of the rinders and one special gift and a letter from the big man himself every year. The delight outweighs the effort every time. I think the one gift's quite. I th th th th th th th th that's th that's th th that's that's th th th th th th th that's a good, th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is a good th i thi thi th. Anyway th is a good thi thi th. Anyway th. Anyway th. Anyway th. Anyway th. th. Anyway th. th. Anyway th. th. th. This is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th is th is that's that's is a that's is a that's that's that's th is a that's a th is a th is a th. the is a the. thi. thi. thi. theeean. theean. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. every year. The delight outweighs the effort every time. I think the one gift's quite key. I think that's a good way to do it, the one gift,

right, and then the rest of from parents. This year, my son Jake, who is 10, said to me, he's not real, is he? I decided to take him out of a choice. You can either believe in the magic or be the magic. What will it be? Oh my word. This is great, isn't it? He chose be.

I told him that yes, he's right. Father Christmas isn't real. But his character once was, and that now he holds the secret, Jake's job is to keep the magic alive for those who do believe, including his little sister. Get goosebumps. His face was a picture, one of excitement and understanding of his duty. So in a world that can seem so hard and sad at times, why not create a little bit

of safe magic? They are children for such a short amount of time in the scale of things. Have a lovely Christmas. Kind regards Anna Dyson. Yes, Allah. That is superb. I would vote for her as the Prime Minister. Yeah, brilliant work. Unbelievablyable scenes. I think that's a great way to look at it, don't you? You can either believe the magic or be the magic. Oh my God. Because it's not about... Right Hollywood movies. What, what a film that would be? Can I just tell you a quick thing about Father Christmas before we wrap up?

Yeah, of course, go. So obviously people haven't come back to the podcast so I can. It's still, you know, we're still not, you know, no kids. No, no way. No way. No, no. So, so. So, so. So, so.

Nobbs. So my wife said to my daughter because we're giving some of her toys to charity. She's getting rid of some of her toys. She said, like at Christmas there's some children that are less fortunate than you and their parents can't afford to get them presents. And my daughter said, but won't Father Christmas get them something? Oh. What do you do with that, Rob? to get them presents. And my daughter said, but won't Father Christmas get them something? What do you do with that, Rob? I think, this is where I think the one gift comes in and you say, yes, Father Christmas brings one gift for every child, the rest of the presents are from

mummy and daddy, and you're very fortunate that mummy and daddy can get you more presents than some other kids. Yeah. I think that's the way I'm going to say when they ask. OK, yeah, yeah. I don't know if it helps. We went with, know, these children have been bad, they're getting nothing from Santa. Yeah, yeah, it's an angle.

It's an angle. It's an angle. No. I think that they get one from do you do stockings as well? Yes, we do a stocking of little bits of bobs and then one present downstairs. Stocking of plastic shit. Yeah yeah yeah just a fucking clock up the world. Yeah. All right, Merry Christmas Rob. Small business shout out. We've got one more guest haven't we on Friday? Yes, another guest.
