Welcome to Parents in 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 you'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 where none of us know what we're doing. Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with... Neve. Can you say Rob Beckett? And can you say Josh Whittickham?

Josh Widdickham. And can you say, I'll tell you that for free? I'll tell you that, I'll free. There we go. Catchphrase. Great work. Neve, N-I-A-M-H. N-I-A-M-H, yes.

Thank you. Here is my very lively, two-and-a-half-year-old. Neve doing your names. We live in Tetsbury in Gloucestershire. though I'm originally from North London. My brother, Uncle David, loves the pod too, and has been trying to get Neve to do your names for a while. Since she could talk,

I actually think she thinks you guys are Uncle David's mates. My husband, Tom Jones and I absolutely love listening. No, no. Not that near to Wales. Is it actually Tom Jones? I don't think it is Tom Jones. He hasn't got a young kid, does he? Probably.

And I currently hear him, not the bloody nose around, etc. I currently in the trenches with a 16-week-old Sadie. does not like to sleep. So lots of late night listening to you guys is getting me through the hourly wake-ups. Thanks for making fantastic podcast. God. Fuck that. That's so hard,

did it? Youngest is a lot better sleeping through the night since you come back from Japan and Australia. That's good. She still comes in the night, but she's going to bed right now, where before we had to sit with her and it was hard, man. It took hours. But that baby thing every hour.

Ooh. How are you, Josh? Good way, you and busy. Gigging, gigging, gig in. Yeah, good. We got Andy Goldstein on today, Rob. Football, football, lads, lads. Love a bit of Andy Goldstein.

We are going to, obviously, we haven't interviewed him yet. So we're going to ask him about he got the first interview with Noel Gallagher after Oasis were on tour, didn't he? Possibly the only one. I don't know if Noel Gallagher has done any other interviews. He loves talk sport, Noel Gallagher. Does he? So he rings up and chats him about Man City. So they've been doing that for years anyway.

and Goldstein's like a bit of a networker. He's like really good friends with Robbie Williams. He's very front foot forward and palli with people. But he's a good bloke and he's very funny. He's good on Talk Sport. As you know, I'm a big Talk Sport fan. You're a huge ambassador for Talk Sport, aren't you? What's your favourite show on Talk Sport?

I love the Jamie O'Honger and Jason Kundy one when Topnum and Luz. Right. That's quite fun. It depends what's happened in the football. I do like Ali McCoyst at all times and Alan Brazil and Ray Parlor they're just top level Lads, lads, lads, absolutely

And Annie Golston and Darren Bent are good like that And then Hawksby and Jacobs good Charlie Baker's on that He's brilliant Yeah, he's great I think you'd have a bit of talks for If your team was higher up the league

And they spoke about them I think you'd get involved No, I don't know if I would Rob I don't know if I would But they were just hammering Exeter City wouldn't you love that The big old Devon Derby? I quite like Exeter City

Oh, okay You shouldn't say that as a Plymouth fan though Peace and love This is why the Plymouth fans don't love you as much as they should. You've got a hate exit out. That's why they love Pye Face and not you. You've been in Coventry.

Yes, I was in Coventry, yeah, absolutely. Three nights there. Quite a long time to be in Coventry. Send me a video of your hotel room that bleaked me out. I'd say, Coventry, lovely people, great football team. I want to watch the football. Great stadium. Great vibe.

Not loads of hotel options. I would say that I wouldn't go, it's not a hotbed. It's not a tourist destination, is it? Because I said to the people, the hotel I was in, and people from Coventry were going, why'd you say in there? I was like, oh, you know, it just came out. I went, well, where else should I stayed?

And they went, um, I thought, well, if you've taken this long, I think this may have been the best one to stay at. Student halls are obviously very near the Warwick Arts Centre, Rob. Absolutely. I think it'd be mad to stay in, as student halls of residence as a touring comedian don't you? I'd say suspicious almost.

This came up the other day, right? So I was going on tour on Thursday and it was my daughter's hockey match at the school. So I thought I'll pop in for the first little bit and then I've got to go and get the train. Yeah. Right? As I'm leaving through the school gates,

a car comes in with a parent from a different, from the school, we're playing against, right? And he goes, oh, hello. And I'm like, hi, yeah. And he goes, you're on tour here? And I was like, no, my daughter's at this school.

And he said, oh, right, yeah. Oh, I didn't know that, obviously. And I did think, sorry. He didn't even know you was here first, in my week. I'm on tour and yours, and what I'm doing on my tour is leaving a school at 2pm with a pillow and a suitcase. What element of this tour do you think I'm currently doing?

Are I arriving or leaving? Have I arrived at the school? Are I staying at the school? Have I just done a gig at the school? Because I do think if we heard of another comedian that sleeps at student halls of residence, it's a huge red flag. It's a huge red flag. What one that hangs around schools with a pillow of a Thursday afternoon?

I think that's fine if you're leaving the school that your child's at. Yeah. But he seemed shocked that my child was at the school. Well, it must be weird because I think, you know, obviously, everyone at the school is just used to that Josh Whitacom's kid goes to school. But you feel or another parent from another school arriving in a light. There's Josh Whitakeran over pillow at a hockey match. Yeah.

Not a fan. What you should have said, not a fan of hockey, getting your head down. Well, I tell you what did happen, Rob, is I walked to the hockey match with Rose. And then I would have my suitcase the other morning, understandably, because my daughter is eight. Yeah. Any difference is embarrassing, understandably. Yeah.

The other morning I dropped her off. I already had my suitcase. She found that mortifying. That you had your suitcase with you, dropping off? Yeah. Mortify me because she's going to miss you or just other people are going, why she's got...

Bless you. But other people are saying why she's had got a suitcase. Well, they weren't even saying that yet, but you know when you're at school, you're like, I don't want my parents to drop me off with any... When my parents would get, like, we used to have old bang of cars because we couldn't afford like a reno espat, like other parents.

I don't remember when we get a new old banger, I would be mortified. Do you know what I mean? Any difference? True. Well, when we drop, we do a thing where you drop the kid off and they jump out the car. But my... You don't even stop, do you? You're doing it at 30 hours an hour.

Straight out. But they turn the music down, whatever, because we'll be singing and let a re-lad, but they go, they turn it down, tell it. Like they don't want, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Any extra attention. So actually, when I got to... to the school and it was tight.

I was only going to go up to watch the first 10 minutes to the hockey. I thought, I'm going to leave because I think me turning up for 10 minutes with a pillow and a suitcase actually is more damaging than me not being there. So did you see that you were there? No. So why did you go to the school?

When I got to the school, I realized how far down the hockey was. I was like, by the time I've got that, I'm going to be turning around within 10 minutes. Right, to go back to get your car. Yeah, I'm just kind of, yeah. Tap out. Yeah, so there we go. So how's Rose getting on with you being away so much?

Because you've been away quite a bit with a tour and last leg, haven't you? It's quite a busy period. It's much easier than it was in London because there's no long school run. Oh, yeah, because you had to drive or she had to get a cat. Is she driving yet? She's driving. So have we discussed this? We've mentioned her driving before, but not since Exeter.

She was trying to get a test. Well, I'll tell you on Tuesday. But basically, she, shall I do a trailer for that? She booked... How long is this going to be? Because I don't feel like it's an hour long. I'll just quickly run it through it. She booked a test here.

She went to a driving instructor here. He turned out her driving instructor in London was absolute dog shit. Oh, really? And doing things that you shouldn't legally be allowed to do. Like getting her to drive the last person back home and then... The last person? So she'd turn up to your house with someone. someone driving the car, they'd get in the back, then Rose would drive them home.

Fuck off. But she didn't know that was... That's mental. That's not okay. No. So she was an Uber driver before she passed a test? Yeah, exactly. Oh, so she likes this new instructor.

Because I had, that is so important. I had a bad driving instructor when I first started, and I changed it to someone else, and it was life change. I used to dread lessons. Yeah, so she used to dread all of her lessons. Morale was so low. And also, you don't. want someone in the back watching you?

No, exactly. So there we go. So... Oh, good luck to her. So she's learning to enjoy it again. Cool. Well, I'm glad we didn't tease that 80 second story. I could have strung it out. No, no, no. I was talking about the story. Oh, God, he's got it terrible. Chon's just heard that and thought I was accusing her of stringing it out. No, he was going to string out the story. No, he was said that the story... Oh, it doesn't matter.

Bring her in. What's the problem? No, let's bring on Andy Goldstein. Andy, welcome to the show. Thank you. How many kids you got? Let's start with the basis. I'd say Rob is so excited by this because this is Rob's fanboy moment. Rob today feels like I would if we booked Paul McCartney.

Absolutely. I've really been sucked in by the new Talksport relaunch. You've got me from breakfast till dinner. They've gone mad on the YouTube. The clips are good. They know that they book people that aren't just winding you up to mind you up and the fun. How is Simon Jordan?

Well, he's the anomaly. He's stuck in the middle. No, what, it's mad you say that because the transformation of what radio is like now compared to what it was like five, ten years ago. I went out for lunch with a friend of mine not too long ago and they said to me, I was chatting to my 12 year old and I said, I'm meeting Annie Goldson today. And he was like, oh, talk sport. And they were like, you don't listen to Talk Sport?

And he was like, no, no, no, but I see it on Instagram. Yeah. And it's just a whole new audience now with social media. Rob, for our mums that are listening, could you explain TalkSport? So TalkSport originally was aimed at angry taxi drivers. It used to just be called Talk Radio back in the day, didn't it, before the sport was added to it? Well, there was two. Anyway, so it was more like the LBC model where they'd go, I think that taxi drivers overcharge and it's not really a skill learning the knowledge,

just so that people would ring up, argue, fill the airwaves. But you come up with a fake view that you've got, Rob, not just one of your views. Come up with like an example one. Uber's quite a good service. And then it basically went into football where you'd just do in a mental opinion about Arsenal. So the mental Arsenal fans would ring up and argue. And there's still a little bit of that. But it's more sort of knowing.

And I think now that the hosts wind each other up. And now it's got a bit more calmer with it. And just that if you get really funny interest in people on it, you don't have to annoy it. Here's the question, right? What are, how often are you stood at the urinal with Simon Jordan at TalkSport Towers and you're discussing parenting? How often does the sports mask slip and you're all showing your softer parenting side?

Our paths never cross because he leaves the office before I get there. And your waist does sit down ways. But they're on the urinal. We sit on the urinal. Yeah. Yeah, because he's a be as well. You can seal all the fake town on the urinal from very sad. Big ass print, big orange arse print.

I don't seem to have those conversations, but I have conversations with people about parenting at work. How many kids you got, Andy? I've got two children. I've got two girls. One, 17, the other one's 14. Oh, wow. Okay, so I've got two girls.

You're about, you know, eight, ten years ahead of me. What's the jump between an eight and a ten year off? Rob hopes career-wise as well, because you've got Rob's, dream job. Do you want to be me, Rob? Do you know what? I don't know if I want to be you every day.

Rob wants to hold you and kiss you, Andy. He can, wherever he wants. No, I think my dream job is being teleported into the studio to laugh at the Tottenham fans and then teleported out as soon as Arsenal lose. I mean, I don't think I've got the minerals to do it all season when it's up and down, do you know what I mean? And I'd have to quit if Arsenal went bad again. Rob, you've got my number.

You can, at the drop of that, you can text me and go, can I come in now? and we would move the schedule to get you in it. Yeah, no, I definitely will come on. I've just been touring, and my schedule's been mental on this year. Well, I'm going to... It's an absolute shocker. He's just said his dream is to be on something,

and when he does, which he's done to make... I've got it out of it. No, but then I don't want to ruin it by being on it. I want to listen to it. No, I will... Oh, here we go, here we go. I will come on. I've been busy.

You're not a football fan? I am, yeah. I am a... I am a Plymouth fan. See, my hoodie. Okay. I've talked at length about Plymouth on the... the show before you with

Charlie Baker. I'm getting I miss that episode. A whole break every week when we lose he gets me on. Can I ask a question to you Josh? Yeah. Whoever sits in that chair over your left shoulder what's that for? His storage because it's, we've just moved in, so it's just been shoved in the corner. I would leave

it there. I quite like that. It looks quite inviting. So Josh's partner is an interior designer, so Josh's office basically becomes a place for Rose to put things that she's about to sell or put in someone else's So it's a revolving, it's almost like a generation game, but good housekeeping. And what's happening with you?

What, this little room you're in. What the fuck's going on with it? What's in that box? What, that one? Yeah. It's tough being a weather man, isn't it? It is tough, isn't it? There will be a smart breeze coming in from the west.

That, it's not exciting. That box had a battery in for my golf buggy art thing. Roke, and I've got to send it back in that box. How big's a garden? No, I play I play golf on a golf course. So you've got your own golf buggy? No, the trolley.

All right, I'll find. I envisions of you like the Chuckle Brothers in a golf buggy. Around the estate. What episode was that when the Chuckle Brothers were in a golf cart? Don't they drive another in a thingy,

aren't they? What are they in a, rickshaw, sorry. Oh, I said. I've got no idea. Anyway, back to your kids then. Yes. We need help because

we've got daughters that are going to be that age soon. So what's the jump like between them being 10 and 8 when they still love you and they're at primary school and they're like little daddy's girls to these sort of teenagers of 14 and 17. How's it going? You know what? My mates of mine that have got girls that are older than mine, I had this conversation with them and they said you get to about 1230 and they don't want to sit and you like, don't to cuddle daddy, don't want to associate with you.

He's like, can you drop me down the road at the school rather than outside the gates? And so I was sort of prepared for that. at the moment, nothing has changed. I'm so blessed. My kids... I think you're through it as well, not through it, but the difficult bit is right. When they hit 12.13,

that's when the change is going to happen, right? My 14-year-old will still text me when I'm out from work, like, in the pub, going, what time were you be home? Why aren't you home yet? Oh. You're dinner, why aren't you home? What time are you being?

And my 17-year-old, there's two ways of 17-year-old can go, you can look at 17-year-old and some of the kids in their school look like this, they look like they're 25, and you go like, oh, my God, that's horrific. Yeah.

Thankfully, she's something, but she looks, she's like 15, she doesn't want to grow up quick, she doesn't take her face in makeup, she's not wearing shirt, and doesn't go clubbing a favorite Saturday night he's sitting in front of the tell you with us.

No. I'm very lucky at the moment. They're both wonderful children. Strictly on a Saturday? It would depend what party. year in, they absolutely love the 1% club. Yeah. And if there's nothing really odd, we don't really

have an appointment of you anymore, because telly's not like it used to be. We'll usually watch something like I'm a celebrity, we'll record that, but we'll make a point of sitting together in front of telly on a set. Celebrators? Did you do selectrators together? I was never a fan of that. Really? I wasn't a massive fan

of normal traitors. Even the celib one? Well, my problem with it is I found myself winding on the bits where they had tasks. Yeah, that is boring a bit. Oh, that's for just chatting. You can talk about the sport then.

Yeah, but then I realised that all I was doing was fast forwarding it to people just arguing. Yes. Well, that's why they have the tasks, I think, because otherwise they'd all go fucking insane. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm not a big fan of that.

We've just started watching the films. What are the films called where, I know he did also Where Final Destination How did you know I was going to say that? Because he wants to be you

and he's stalking you Andy He's logged into your Netflix account So that he could learn how to be more like you I've got to be more like you I'm just very I don't know I do that quite a lot Yeah psychic

I think logical I think look He's a basic If you know everything about someone It's easy to imagine what films They watch If your whole life is dedicated To stalking someone

Rob that's not nuts because there's like literally a billion films I could have said we're watching. I know, but you can see it through the cracking your curtains, Andy, when you're watching it. That isn't it weird, didn't it? I've got that. If you see the new one, Bloodlines. You've already seen this way. You watched it.

I should just skim over this. I said I'm watching films at the moment and you just plug that one out of the air. Well, when you said, I know what you did last summer, this is my process of elimination, right, is I've gone, I know we did last summer. It's not that one because he's still trying to think. the other ones that came out around that time was Final Destination and I know that both of them... The other films that came out around that time, and the only other films that came out around

the time, have I know what you did last time? No, it was final destination. Hear me out, but they were both relaunched again this year. So I imagine what's happened is, in my head, you've gone, oh, I used to watch this as a when I was younger. Half a second. Do you get emails?

Occasionally, Andy, that say there's been a strange log into your Netflix account from an unknown device. Why was it? No, because I'm, again, so my working out is that you've gone, oh, I'll watch them when I was younger, now she's the same age, oh, we could bond over this, watch the old ones, and then watch the new one with her. But that could have been Toy Story?

Yeah. I don't know, but I just went with my gut. I'm a gut guy. Okay. I'm an instant player. But yeah. Find the destination. He is weird.

That was weird, actually, wasn't it? Yeah. I'm going to write a film down now, right? Random film. Okay. Andy, what did you have for... Don't tell us. What did you have for breakfast?

Rob, go on. Hold on. I don't eat breakfast. I've bad to say that. He's not a breakfast guy. For my life. He's not eating breakfast. He's just come back off the school run.

All panicked. What colour socks have I got on? Blue. Pink? Oh, no. No socks. No, that's a foot, Rob. Skin colour.

Do you have a little pink? What's your tattoo on your heel? That is... It says lucky on one hill, boy on the other. This is final one there at destination. When my little one was about five, I got her to draw a picture of herself on my ankle. Oh, she drew it, I didn't get to.

She drew it, and I looked at it, and I thought, I like that, I'm going to keep that. That's lovely. Is that your only tattoo? No, I've got about 18. Really? Where are you got? Whereabouts?

You got a sleeve? Where in the country? Do I get it, but? No, no, on your body? My older one at the time went, can I write something on your other ankle? And I went, yeah, so she wrote, I love you when she was about seven.

Oh, so you got that there. And I've just got various markings from different children in the school. You like the guy from Memento, just little words everywhere. Yeah. I've got different, different. Memento, that's a film, Rob.

Did you know I was going to say Memento? Yeah, it's a good film, actually. So, tell me, I've been, I've been sidetracked by thinking that I might be a witch. Have you got any tattoos either are you? I've got one from Taskmaster. I've got a bag's name on my foot.

Have you really? Yeah. Well, underneath the foot? Like in Toy Story? No, on the kind of instep. That would have been great, wouldn't it? Where you could pass a football? I'll get them underneath the foot.

Were you not tempted by it to get an Andy? Because it's on the palm of your soul? Yeah, the pain would be too immense. And also, on your foot, they tend to rub out. So it's just a bit waste of time. Tell me about it. I've basically got a blue blob now. Andy, with your sketch, right, you do afternoon.

Are you always on the morning school run? Is that when you see the girls in? Because you've got quite a strict routine with your job where we're all over the place. Yeah. Yeah, it works out quite nice. I went for a stage where I would drop my oldest off at school and then go on the way back past the David Lloyd

and drop in there for an hour. And that was like up to about six months ago. I was absolutely flying. I was doing four or five days a week. I loved it. I go home at 10. It was like, I've done an hour in the gym, and the day's not even begun yet.

Yeah. Because a few other bits and pieces have sort of happened, you know, good, like jobs or whatever, I just haven't been able to get to the gym, so that's just gone now. So now I'm dog walking. I'm a big dog walking fan of luck. Are you dropping your kids then still at 14 and 17?

Yeah. Yeah, they're proper princesses. And could they get in a bus, though, or is it all getting the bus? Yeah, they could, yeah. I mean, they are princesses. My eldest, my eldest, my 17, year old to date when we were coming out

the house she went, I can't find my coat and I was like oh you know what? And she went oh no there it is and my wife had put her coat on the radiator so it was warm with you. Oh my word. Oh wow. Oh man. They are not your traditional talk sport listener. That's unbelievable.

And I was like, why is my coat not on the radiator? What's that in it? But that's that's I think it's nice. If you can do it, why not do it? Exactly. Yeah. I think if you're already at work, fair enough, and maybe just got to go. But if you're laying in a warm bed

and your kids waiting at a bus stop, you know, I agree. Why not get up and see them before school? Yeah, I don't see them otherwise, will you? Yeah, I think the world's shitty enough. If you can just add a little bit of love in it somewhere, I think that's quite nice. Yeah, because I, you know,

I used to get the night bus home from, like, nights out, and it's quite dangerous. I was at 17, 18. And the thought I let my daughter do that now, I just sort of feel like, well, it's like, oh, it's character building. I was like, no, it's just dangerous. You don't want that kind of...

No, I totally leave it at the ground, floor, thank you very much. I totally agree with you. I mean, that analogy of laying in bed, keeping a warm while there, stand that bus stop. I just couldn't think of anything at worst. So I'm not doing anything. Why would night?

Yeah, exactly. And what about nights out, though? If you are in bed and they're out late, especially the 17-year-old. So the weekend, I was out in town doing something. And then by the time I got back, it was about midnight. And I got into the house and I got a text can come and get me now.

So I'm in taxi service as well on weekends. And do you? But does part of you love that or is it? Yeah, it's just mentally easier to think, I'm picking them up, they're not getting in a camp. Yeah, yeah, totally. Or getting a train or a bus. It's just like, I'm doing nothing.

Why wouldn't I do it? I mean, they are flesh and blood, right? They are the most. Well, exactly, you're not going to sleep properly anyway knowing that they're waiting for a bus at 11 o'clock for their mates' house. So you must have just get them and get them in. And do you have like, did you ever do like that thing where you can track where they are on their phone and stuff like that?

Yeah, so when my eldest was about four or three, I took her to a play group, the first ever play group I took her to. And she was there for like three hours. And I went to go and get a coffee around the corner and wait for it there. And so when I took her in, it was the first time I'd ever done it. And I said to the woman, do I get like a receipt or anything? You looked at me and I was nuts. I just need proof to because she's here, right?

If I come back in three hours and she's not here And she's looking at it, I'm mental But I was thinking, well, hold on, this is the most important thing In the world that I have, that I am And I'm just gonna, if it was, if it was like, If you were a dry cleaners, I'd get a receipt for a pair of trousers, right? Yeah. And they were like, no, you don't get receipt.

And I'm like, all right, okay. So. So do you think they should bring that in? Yeah, I think you should get a receipt. I could kick me and drop them off. Or like a little number, like a coat, the cloakroom. And a little.

And then you've. forgotten your ticket and they're like, I'm sorry. Yeah. But I can see it. It's the blonde one at the back. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, kid. I'd say what I did buy.

I had a clear out. Look at this. You've had a clear out. Yeah, I know. You've had a clear out and that joke. This is tidy, by the way. Yeah, fair enough. I've found this.

I've done this and work audio-wise, but people are watching it. This can explain it. This is a GPS tracker that I bought when my LD. this was about five or six and went on a school trip. It's like a little key ring, but it's a GPS tracker. Yeah, like an air tag.

Exactly that, but it was like way before air tag. Yeah, it's big, isn't it? Considering the size of an air tag these days. Yeah, and I put it in her backpack, obviously she was unaware, on her first ever chip. And then when I was at the score gates

waiting for them all to come back, one of the mums were in, I wonder how far away they are? And I went, she's 17 meters away. And she's like, and I was like, yeah, 60, 40. Like, Rob, we're five. destination.

How's he doing it? It's so good. Have you seen the new one? Did you watch the new one? We've just finished three, I think. Oh my God. The newest one's so good. It's amazing.

I saw it in a cinema in Coventry alone. I couldn't do the cinema on my own. There's a few things I can't do. I couldn't go out for dinner on my own cinema. I'll find it a bit weird. Well, you could not be a comedian. Of course you're on the road. Yeah, I wouldn't do it out of choice.

But, okay, I'll give you this day. You wake up in an industrial estate at a hotel that is absolutely dominated by snooker fans and pool fans have been at some sort of pool event. And I know you're a big fan of that, but if you go to the bar, it's quite full of any snooker players there? No, it was more like a weird fan event. Hold on, and you're not talking about Milton Keynes, you? No, this was... Coventry?

Coventry, I think. It might have been Milton Keynes on the way up to Coventry. I don't know. No, you wouldn't have stayed in Milton Keynes. No, I was driving... It's an hour off from London. Yeah, no, I was going somewhere. Anyway, you wake up in the morning in an industrial estate.

Andy and you've got to be leaving Coventry at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to go to your next gig and you check out. First you have a word with your tour booker and say surely there was a better hotel. So what you're doing on that industrial estate? If you've got another option than KFC and cinema alone, I'll take it.

When you buy your ticket though, do you pretend that you're waiting for someone? Do you buy a lot? I think cinema on your own during the day is I think cinema's one of the ones which is all right actually. I could do cinema. I can do restaurant I've done music gig

that's tougher that's tougher oh I couldn't do music gig um football I have you done football I could do football alone on top

did you go to Coventry you went to Coventry on Saturday Rob yeah I went with a friend you went with a friend I'd struggle with football yeah what did you do the air coat to a friend what sort of friend was it

it's a bit weird with it was that I won't be a friend Like I'll go me mate Dave or something like that Well yeah but it's Yeah but that's because when you go your mate Dave That's because you go somewhere every week I was in cool this is When I say friend

I say a very new friend Where I text Lloyd Because basically when I'm on tour I need to fill the day Have you got any other friends other than Lloyd Griffith A couple But he knows everyone in football So I went Lloyd

Who's a covenish fan? You went on a blind date to Coventry City Yeah Wow I'd go on my own Who's a commentary fan and he went and he told me a few the people that are commentary fans and he went oh a friend of mine John

Josh Pugh. Yeah he's a commenter. This guy called John Dawkins. He's a music manager. He was a manager of the enemy. Do you know him? The enemy. You know what he? He's a commentary.

He used to manage him. Now he manages Tom Grenon and a few other people. Anyway, Lloyd went, he's a really good bloke. He can sort you out of ticket. I think he's got a box. Right. So I went, oh yeah, I'll be up for that. Again, the other option is,

line in a hotel room, potentially wanking myself to death. so I have to leave the building. Yeah. You're not going to wait yourself to death at Coventry City with a stranger. Not by the way they scored goals. It was unreal. Top of the league.

Ten points clear. Anyway, so he followed me on Instagram. I'm running back and said, I'm up for Coventry if you can get your spare ticket. And anyway, you contacted the club. We got invited to the ballroom. You got up watching it with Doug King. And, yeah, so we had a brilliant time.

And they were really welcome him and had a great time at Coventry. And I had a great day. And I think, though, that kind of approach to life opens up doors. Yeah, I went on a blind date of a man. He picked me up, dropped me off. We had a great dad. At the end, did you hug or what? Do you know what?

Actually, I was a bit worried because I thought, I don't know this bloke. He works in music. It could be an absolute wrecked. Because you know what the music industry is like. But he was really nice and normal. And he got on really well. To the point where actually, at the end, either of us could have said,

should we be actual friends? Yeah. But it feels too full on. When will you see him again? When will I see him again? You got a text from him? We've been texting, yeah. When did you last text?

Was Coventry played last night? Yeah, so I took a photo of us at the thing, and then he was getting loads of grief because we got put on Sky Sports, and it was me with him, and anyway, I took a photo of us at the thing, and then I messaged to my Instagram, and he went, oh, can you send that to me on my phone

because it's disappeared? What? because on Instagram if you send photos they don't always stay the whole time it's like a one full of you

for a fucking fishing scam here right now so then I sent it to and we've been messaging did he say can you send me a photo and 500 pound in cash no he didn't

I sent in the photo and he said thank the little thumbs up thanks mate and then I did message him saying four to unstoppable

and he gave me a little voice note about Coventry and a voice note he's coming on strong isn't it he's a big voice don't guy actually why

because he wants one back Yeah, so that he can play it to his mates Yeah, I'm not a big voice note guy So I said Why then you just speak now Yeah And then he can chop that up out the podcast And he can pretend you've sent him a voice note for his mates

What should I send him? Just say hi, John He's your friends now Should I say that? I love you I'm missing you Yeah Go on

No, I'm missing you Missing you's really mental Well, we'll stay quiet So that doesn't tell like I'm not saying I'm missing you Go on then No, no

What do you mean go on then. What am I saying? You're the Riffmeister, Rob. We're doing really well, hoping to play Premier League football next season. We'd love to go to another game with you again soon. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Hi, John. Rob here. Just want to say, like, really enjoyed the game at Coventry, and we'd love to go to another game again soon. Miss you. Great. There's no way you sent that.

There's no way you sent that. Done. Oh, my God. Oh no If he sends one back And it ends with issue too Oh God, yeah Do you know the worst thing Rob

He's going to take that of face value And then his mates are going to go I tell you what I heard that Premier L podcast They were right ripping Rob God in that message I've really got caught in the moment there Yeah I feel so alive but so nervous

Has it been blue ticked yet I don't think he's in seconds When he sees you've sent him a voice now Yeah Yeah he's not been that excited he must I can't remember their fucking single

what was the single called um live and die in these towns oh he's so I think he'll listen to that and think okay I had a good time but that was a bit much oh god he's three dots I've got three dots I've got three dots

he's got oh no loads of laughing faces that's crack me up he said miss you too mate you pick a game and we can hold hands and skip in together. Oh. He seems like a nice guy. It's based in London, Rob.

Yeah, he is. Best one. On the fly, just send a heart emoji on it. Just a heart emoji, yeah? Yeah. Lovely. Oh, there we go. I'm going to have to just tell him what's going on here.

No, I don't think he is. Hi, John. Yeah. John is lying. He can't hear us. John, I'm on the podcast. Andy Goldstein and Josh Riddick can send that first voice note. The Miss you bit was a bit full on,

but I did enjoy the football and hopefully it goes to another game. See you like, mate. Oh my God, it's embarrassing. See you like. Oh, that failed to upload. Oh, God. Oh, anyway, right.

I'll sort that out later. So, what kind of holidays you do with your kids? That's amazing. Are your kids into sport, Andy? Because obviously it's such a huge part of your life. Are they interested in it? My eldest isn't at all. My little one plays football and hockey, and she runs.

Oh, wow. She loves her sport, the little one. Although, annoyingly, at the weekend, she was running around the lounge, playing with a dog, and then all of a sudden we had a big thud. Yeah. She stubbed her toe, and my wife took the A&E yesterday. Fucking out. Oh, God.

She's broken her toe, so she can't do anything for six weeks. She loves dancing as well, so she can't do anything for six weeks, so she's devastated. And do you support, Andy? I'm a Manchester United fan. And have you managed to pass that on? Yes. You have. I took them to Old Trafford to see May Nighting play Spurs a few seasons back when

Renaudo played. Oh, wow. And as we come out, she said, is it like this every week? And I went, yeah, this is it way of ten years ago? Because you used to work up there loads, didn't you used to do a show from MUTV where you were at every home game, is that right? Yes. And away or just home?

Away ones as well, but we do the away ones from Old Trafford as well. Yeah, so you have to go to Manchester basically every week. And you're based in London, is that right? Yeah, and so it just took its toll because they're long days. I'm leaving five o'clock in the morning and I'm getting home at 1 o'clock in the morning. And it's at weekends as well when that's important. So is that the reason why you step back from that to kids? That's exactly the reason, yeah.

I really love doing it. I really did. And even as like a grown adult standing on the picture and seeing young kids behind you, like a 22 playing for me and he's warming up I'm still a bit like I'm still like yeah of course

he never goes it's like Robb when he sees John from John from Coventry he's got a similar reaction oh me and the dog boss he's actually replied I told him what you wound me up

and he said Goldstein great hair um Josh my mate who I said looks like him manages Pete Doherty he does look like him oh yeah I've met him I've got his number

jazz yeah him you look like him apparently yeah talking of great hair I don't know if you're aware of it but I have Goldstein's Golden Paste is out now. Oh, so is this what you're plug? You're on promo?

Yeah. So you've got your own hair. We can't see that because it's reflecting. Have you got one of it? Oh, that's it. Goldstein's Golden Paste. You've got your own head. Yeah.

Talk to us about that then. Okay. So about six months ago, contacted this guy, Damon Barber, who owned it, who made unbelievable award-winning hair products and said, What's he called David Barber? What's he called?

Damon Barber. Yeah. And he works in hair? Yeah. Well, I'm guessing that. I mean, that's not his name. Oh, sorry. And I said, I've got the best head of hair that anyone you've ever seen of my age or any age for that man.

I should have my own hair product. And I agree with you. And so we put one together. Yeah. And it's incredibly successful. And I think, in my only bringing, it's a great stocking filler. Right. Where can you, where can you, where can you pocket?

Like, how do you come up with the paste? Like, are you doing, you know, like, in The Apprentice where they're, like, mixing it up and stuff? Were you doing that in, like, factory? He was doing that. He sent me a load of different samples, and he said, what do you think of these? And I'll go, I like the smell of that.

I like the texture that, but the hold of this one's no good. I tried this one all day and by about 2 o'clock, nothing was left. And then eventually we came up with what he's now called Goldstein's golden paste. Oh, Damonbaba.com, you can buy it from. How much is it a tub? I think it's £34.

Whoa. Hold on, lads. Buy cheap, buy twice. Yeah, and it's a big old tub. It's a big old tub. How many months do you think people are getting out of a tub? You'll get over 300 applications with it. The hundred applications?

That's almost a year. We did not have you to set you both on? Yeah. Yeah, I would actually. Why not? I'll take a golden pace. Okay. I'll take a golden pace.

I think you both look good with my pace in your hair. Oh, yeah. Here he goes. There he bloody goes. Next question. Have you had to play the father to, has either of your children had a boyfriend and you've had to be a kind of...

Or girlfriend, Josh? Or girlfriend. And you've had to play that role yet. Boys are a big part of their world. My little one is, I think she wants a boyfriend. She's on the apps. much. He's not on the outs yet.

My, they haven't got, they haven't got, you answer to your question. My eldest has had a boyfriend before. I met him once. She was going into town with him, so I met them.

I dropped it at the station. I can't have a walk into the station. And I shook his hand, and I gave it a little bit more. And that's a voice. And went, look after it to the date. And he went, okay. Oh.

Poor kid. If you're to mark your normal handshake out of 10 squeeze-wise and that hand shake out of 10 squeeze-wise, what are we looking at? Probably normal is an 8, I think it's important. Okay, you're quite heavy with a hand. A heavy one of them, are you? I met a friend of mine's daughter's boyfriend.

But when he shook my hand for the first time, he was passing me a salmon. I didn't know him, and I went, listen, that needs to improve. It needs to be a friend. Oh, God. That's real toxic. Yeah.

Kids don't know how important that handshake is, right? Is it? Is it that important? How soft was it? It might be in talks more towers when Darren Goff seeing you in a lift. But like... No, no, no, no. A good handshake.

Come on. Do you know where they do good hands shakes and big strong hands, Australia? Because all of the people there play cricket or Aussie rules football. So they've got big strong hands. They don't... You farm a ball. They can't keep you up ease, but they can rip your hand off in a handshake. I don't like a hand shake.

I don't like a handshake where you feel like someone's trying to prove something. I always think what's wrong with you. What are you trying to... I know what you mean. I don't mean that. I just... Not a squeeze, just firm.

Yeah. I always struggle... Heavy, not hard. I always struggle... When I shake a woman's hand. Because I sort of turn it around... Not a problem of talk sport. Princess Guy Allen.

That's a not problem at talk sport. No, there's plenty of women that work. for talk to sport. And he's shaking all their hands. And he's shaking all their hands. So what do you do with a woman's hand? I sort of, I don't know why, but I sort of turn it.

Right. Like that. It goes into like 17th century. And then do you kiss her on the top of the hand? I just go into, and then I always go, sorry, I'd never know how to shake a woman's hand. And then that's really weird, I think.

Yeah. Just shake it the same. No, I think that's rude. Yeah, but the way you're squeezing it, but just maybe go a bit softer. What? What about the kiss on a cheek of an... I can see women on the cheek.

I think, no, just handshake. The problem with the kiss on the cheek is if you go once and they lean in for the second... Yeah, yeah. Fras. What's happening now? Also, when you meet people on a night out and they've got a lot of makeup on

or a TV show, they've got a lot of makeup on, if you get too close, you can ruin their makeup and then get it on your... Same Simon Jordan. Exactly like Simon Jordan. Out of all the people you've met, because you've met, Loads of people on Talk Sport.

And to you've got an incredible sort of phone book where you get like exclusives from like Noel Gallagher and stuff like that. And obviously Robbie Williams is a good friend of yours. Who have all the sort of famous people and athletes that you've met has gone too hard with a hand. Is there any one that stands out? I bet Eddie or Barry Hearn.

I bet that's a handshake and a half. I bet Barry Earns wobbles up and down a lot. Barry's coming in tomorrow actually, so I can test that one out. Yeah. They've both got great handshakes. They're old school, right? If you could text Rob They spit out before a deal.

Tell him an update on Barry Hearn's handshake and we'll pop it in the intro to this episode. I was in your voice note. Of Barry Hearns. And then maybe, yeah, maybe getting to review yours would be quite good. All right. I'll film the whole thing for you.

Yeah, that'll be fine. Just pop it on a YouTube for us, tag us in, monetise it. Thank you very much. That will be a page soon, isn't it? You know I am in London to test out people's handshakes. People will be fucking watching that for days. Oh, do you know what?

that's a great little real series for you. London Bridge. London Bridge. Because you're famously, it's a handshakes. You know what really fucking is. So much shit on social media. Like, people are running out ideas.

The thing I hate is close your eyes and open them when you hear a centre off you'd like to play alongside. Yeah. You just see if you're going like that. And then opening, Marcel Dessai. What's the point of that?

People have read out stuff to ask now. Well, you could actually see them coming off of like these pundits finishing a whole shift of punditry. And the social person grabs him and they go, right, one to ten and you can see like Roy King go, ugh.

Exactly that. You've got to feel for that pun. You've got to feel for that poor little social media kid. He's 23. He's fresh out of a media degree at Bournemouth uni and suddenly he's having to corner Jamie Carriger to ask him what the worst away ground is.

Yeah. Or one I hate is, can you blind rank these strikers. And then they go, first one is like, messy, you go, oh, is that going to be?

Like, no one cares. I know, it's just guff, isn't it? Yeah. But, you know, keeps me and Josh Fet.

Anyway, we're looking forward to the handshake series, Andy, and when's it? Watch it. Honestly, if you do talk sport

with Andy Golds do the handshake series and you could do the face Goldstein's golden handshakes. Oh, but it'll be pathetic. It'll be like, oh, Andy, quick,

quick, come downstairs, Simon Cow's on Chris Evans. We need to get his handshake. you do a mocking, right? What will happen? It will be really successful. In about a year's time, one of you or both of you

will be trying to get to me going, I hope you're after the hand shake. Yeah, that's what will happen. Andy, do you want to come on the handshake shows on? It's a handshake. You basically got, he's got his career. Yeah. Was it bad, not ban,

that was... Banzai? Mr. Shaky hands, right? How long... Yeah. Well, no, it's not about length. It's about grip. All right.

I promise you, I will video it to And you know, like the blind, you know, Dave Portnoy is to do the pizza review. You just do handshake reviews. What about people that you can shake their hand? And then with the other hand, they grab the eye. I hate that. That's very Trump.

Yeah, it goes last. Exactly. Yeah, that would be, and also just random city boys coming into London Bridge. They'll have some wild handshakes. Yeah. And what do you feel about like a kind of, um,

a handshake into a hug, Andy? What, from who? Give me a scenario. Uh, Barry Hearn tomorrow. Handshake into a hug. You know, that's more of like, there's not a handshake, it's more of like the... Oh, that one?

The that one, yeah, like the arm wrestle, Dap, lean in. Or sometimes you'll go for the handshake and someone will go, no, oh, come on, come on. In my head it's Tom Davis. Do you know what I mean? That kind of... Okay. I always find that the bigger the person,

the more they want to hug you. Yeah, that's a big of power. I'm bigger than you, so I can take where this goes. I don't like that might hug him, really. I don't like a hand-shund. I always, if someone comes up... Oh, whoa, well, you fucking change your tune, ain't you? No, I've always been like that.

You used to love handshakes. You're telling me how hard you do them. No, if someone comes up to me in the street that I don't know and wants a handshake, I always say, I'm a fist pumper and just... Pump or bumper, fist pumper or bumper, fist bump. Anything other than a handshake. Right, I prefer... Vladimir Critchco only...

You're going to have to change that if you become Britain's number one handshaker. Like, it's going to be a difficult argument when your main fame is that you're the handshakes. the big sort of news on pop bitch there'll be stories andy goldstein secretly loves fist bumping he doesn't actually like the handshake but klitschko only does fist bombs to stop getting germs i quite like that yeah yeah quite like that anyway so what other stuff do you kids do do homework lots of homework lots of homework how bothered are you about academics because i feel like you're more of the you know let's not steer him let's see what he says what was your question. What kind of, what are you like around education and school? Because I feel like you're a bit more of the

school of life kind of guy than you are bothered about. He's staring him again. He's desperate for Andy to. No. You wondered. Your question will have no influence on my answer. I just want to make that clear. Thank you. My, both my kids go to. And also your answer will have no impact on my next question as I'll just say you know. Yeah, because Rob's already thinking about the handshake stuff. I already know the answer and I'm getting ready for the next one. That's how my brain works. Both my kids go to private school at the moment Or not at the moment they've to do For a week

I'm at the price of it now Depending how the budget plays out Yeah you're right My little one's very much like me I think she'll do really well in life But not necessarily because she's studied really hard And my little one My big one's frighteningly clever

About three or four years ago the light was on at the bottom of the door about 11 o'clock at night on a school night you know so you know the lights on in the room yeah, my wife open the door we call the eldest boo and it named boo and my wife went boo it's like 11 o'clock at night why are you up and she said

with the iPad in front of us you went I'm so sorry I was just teaching myself Japanese oh wow and she was the little one would be in the other room like ordering the Chinese that's the difference between the two of them right one's Japan one's China Did they get on?

They really get on. COVID was a tough time for a lot of kids. A lot of kids suffered because they didn't get on. I mean, their best of friends there. In fact, throughout that period, they then decided to sleep together every night. They were yonting together. During the day, they were literally side by side all the time.

It was only about two and a half years ago that they sort of went, right, every night we're going to go back to her. So they missed it. other, you know, it's really tough. Oh, that's lovely. Yeah, they're great. When they have play dates with their other or not play days, they're older now, but when they've got their friends over,

do they clash, that's where I find ours clash a bit while they all join in together? No, they all join in, yeah. I'm really lucky. So are you a great parent or are you been lucky? What's going on, Annie? Because it feels like the kids are in a good space. Or you married to a great parent.

My wife's unbelievable with it. My wife's incredible with it. She does most of the sort of, well, she does all the whole. You see the default parent, you'd say. She picks them up from school, and I don't see until eight, half past eight. All the school problems, when they come out of the gates and they, oh, this happened. She's dealing with it all.

Do you live in London, Andy? Just outside. I live in Essex, yeah. So you've got a commuting every day and then... Yeah, but it's an easy commute. It's 40 minutes, and it's really quick. Do you race home for the evening, or do you consider, like... I'll get a train.

Rod knows that already. Which time train is it, Rob? Yeah, it's C to C. A quarter past six. I meet Rob every night, actually. Yeah, yeah, just for a degree for about the show, my favourite piece. Quick handshake.

Quick handshake. I'm going to get a film tomorrow, right? It's going to be final destination. Can you remind? Yeah, no problem. Yeah, I find it. Blood Florence. There you go.

That's what he does. Andy, is the final question we ask everyone this. Now, you've already said your partner's amazing. but what one thing does she do that makes you go, oh my God, she's an amazing parent. Can't believe I have her with me being a parent. And what's the one thing she does that if she was to listen, that you find a bit annoying and frustrating?

And if you was listening, she'd go, yeah, you might have a point there. Why would anyone answer that second question? Because they're in a really confident, comfortable relationship and, you know, they're in a relaxed position where communication is key and they can take criticism. But, you know, if you don't want to do that because you're falling apart, that's fine. Oh, their wife going through the menopause when they answer that question. By the law of averages, we must have hit that at one point, yeah.

I think that should be the third question. Yes, is your wife going through the menopause? Yeah. Okay, well, we'll get that first. Question one, is your wife going through the menopause? Yeah, cool. And how is that? She's absolutely fine.

Yeah, good, good, perfect. She deals with it, yeah. Strong handshake every morning and then you get on with your lives. A lot of don't understand how bad, that can be, by the way. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, I think it's a bit sort of skimmed over. But it's, I wouldn't want it.

Do I mean, if you look to my diary, it was menopause this week. I think that's a great t-shirt. Menopause, I won it. Well, we can skip the negative one then, but what's positive? In answer to your first question, what does she do? I don't know if everyone or no one's answered like this, but everything. She does absolutely everything at my mistake. Like, without a doubt, my rock, she does absolutely everything.

From breakfast in the morning for the kids to dinner waiting for me to just, she does everything. Really? Like all the kids are as great as they are. It's all down to her. She's fantastic with it. So is there a hot dinner waiting for you every single day when you get in? Yeah. I mean, it's because she's made for her and the kids and mine's in the oven.

Yeah. But she's fantastic. She's fantastic. Cool. Although. You can leave it if you want, Andy. No, the one thing. I've mentioned it.

Yeah. But it's sort of, I'm going to kick myself in the nuts of it because it's such a tiny thing, but it makes me go, why? So this is really small, but on the work surface in our kitchen, there's a little box where you put food when you finish eating your dinner, right? Yeah. And in that box is a bag. Yeah.

And when she takes that bag out and does it up and takes it to the bin, Yeah. Whilst making it house look perfect. Yeah. Forgets to put a new bag in. And I find myself having to do that. Oh, Andy. I think you should have remained silent.

Yeah, that did come across quite badly, actually. I don't understand why. Reed's terrible that. Why? How long did it take? Well, but if she's already doing everything, I mean. Yeah, but exactly. If you're doing everything, do everything.

Or don't make your mind up. see, but one or the other? That'll be it. It'll be the bag in there. Do you ever put like the roll of the bags at the bottom so that's already in there, you can just do it from...

Then they get the bag juice on them. There is bag juice. I don't like that bag juice. They don't... Yeah. That's the thing you've decided to... But the bags are a meter... I've measured it a meter away.

Right. And it's... When you were measuring it, could you've been putting a bag in the box rather than measuring the distance. that your wife hasn't travelled. I just put the bag in and I thought,

well, and as I opened the door, you think I'm joking about it, as I opened the door, there was a tape measure. Right. I'm just curious what the... Yeah, well, the distance is, one metre.

Yeah. And I thought, should I use that in an argument or not? Yeah. What did your wife say when you brought it out? Quite soon. I haven't brought it out.

She's going to get you felters after this. Yeah, yeah, good. Good night. If she's listening, maybe learn from it. I couldn't. I'm going to tell you now, she may not be listening,

but a hundred percent someone that knows her is. That's getting back. That's getting back. Have you both answered that question to? Yes, numerous times at different points over the podcast because, you know, stuffed pages. At the moment, the thing that's frustrating me

about Lou would be she used zip lock things to put the Christmas decorations up, but on the banisters of the stairs, but she snips them off and they're pointing up, so we have now got razor blade sharp bits of plastic. So I've cut my palm. Why don't you swing them around?

We need to, and I said, why don't I do that? And then she said, no, wait till I'm home so I can do it. But then she didn't do it yesterday, so they're still on there, but she won't allow me to do it because I might not do it the right why. So the small one, can you? I mean, literally it's just spinning it. Yeah, exactly. But she's pulled it so tight that you were.

to snip off and go again. Oh, God. So, yeah, so me and my daughter's too tight. Two problems. You've raised two problems there. And me and my daughter have got cut hands at the moment. And she won't let you fix it yourself. Really, isn't it?

I think abuse is a strong word. Well, you're getting cut. You and your daughter are getting slashed to pieces. Yeah, pretty much. Just what's yours? She's just cold and doesn't love me. You knew that. You knew that when you said yes.

Yeah. To the wedding. All right. Andy, thank you so much. Thank you, Golden Hair Paste. And what time

is your show on Talksport? Until seven weekdays. There you go. And how about it by the hair paste? That's very kind of. You, Damon Barber.com or in a couple of Wednesday's this guy out in a few weeks, right? Don't know. No idea.

Okay. Okay. Okay, that's. Okay. You're available at next. Oh. Yes, thank you. And also Amazon.

Nice. Oh, heard of it. It's a biggie. Good luck of it. I will, what I'll do? I'll send you both apart. Yes, please. I waived the bill, don't remember that.

Absolutely, I'm not paying $34 quid for a bit of your gunk. And I will send you a video of me shaking hands. That's what we're here. Please. Thank you very much, Andy. Right, Andy, see you next time. God bless you. Hello, parenting hell listeners. Recognise that voice?

Yes, it's Josh Widdickham here. I have got a new podcast, Josh Whitickam's Museum of Pop Culture. And I'm going to say it. I'm about 85% sure you're going to love it. Here are the reasons why. Number one, I'm confident if you're listening now, you don't hate me and possibly think I'm funny. Number two, I'm confident if you're listening now, you like podcasts.

Number three, I'm confident if you're listening to me and Rob, you prefer pop culture to people talking about things, let's be honest, boring things like history, economics or politics. I know I do, and that is why I made this podcast. I wanted a show that tells the stories I love from popular culture in the way other podcasts do for drier topics. See above. Basically, I wanted a podcast that realised Millie Vanilli were more interesting than Elizabeth I The First. Join me as I give the definitive, or at least the funniest, takes on Mr. Blobby. When Ghost Watch convinced BBC viewers ghosts were real, when a band burned a million pounds for a laugh.

The Spice Girls, a truly catastrophic Spider-Man musical with music from You Two, and David Haselhoff, Baywatch, and his part in the fall of the Berlin Wall. All of them are, by the way. Either you know what these things are and you're about to learn far more about them than you ever realized you wanted to, or you don't, and you're about to be introduced to some of the maddest things in modern or ancient history. Stiffnecks will learn, lose next will laugh.

New episodes available every Wednesday and Saturday, perfect to fill those gaps between your weekly doses of parenting hell. So go on, you might as well listen, subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcast now. Museum of Pop Culture with me, Josh Whitakum, available everywhere on the 1st of January.
