Yeah, and I said Lou bought. I don't see you as your mom. But Lou bought this for me. It's a Stanley mug and I's a Stanley mug and I'm only just real like I think they're. I think they're popular on Tick tocke. As in the Stanley Cup. No. as in Stanley knife? Yeah, Stanley knife, Stanley Blade. Do you know we've been sent a Brevill because he spoke about Brevill so much? I know. We've got to start talking about stuff that's more profitable.

Like, thanks for send me a Brevill, but they're 24 quid on our girls. If I wanted a brevill. I just definitely of the few people with two brevils. How are you, Rob? Well, we're not talking about how we are. We're doing a special correspondence episode. Yes, to catch up on the correspondent. So, I was going to do a update on my 2022 breakdown. Yes, so you had a breakdown in 2022. I don't do it extensively. No, but we addressed it. We certainly addressed it. There's not been a full inquiry, however you've been in a better place since. How do you say I was in 2022 for people that didn't listen to the episode? I'd say that you were stretched beyond belief at home and at work. Yeah. You'd sort of committed to too many things, you were trying to please too many people all at the same time, which ultimately led to you not enjoying life and feeling stressed and fed up up up up up up up up................ Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. to, to, the the the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the the the. the the. the. the. the. thi. the. to you not enjoying life and feeling stressed and fed up. Yes, I'd say that's fair. But I'd say you addressed it. I got to the point where I couldn't sleep.

You weren't sleeping. I was having panic attacks whenever I got in bed in the evening, which is not ideal. No. And then you sort of readressed it as quick as you could, but obviously if you do make changes, you've got commitments. I'd say it's been a long old journey Rob. I'd say you're in a much better place now, but I would say you have slight, like we all do and I have it, it's why I had a bit of a flurpy day yesterday just because lots was going on. But you have flurps, but you sort of bring it back quite quickly. But you still have, like everyone, little I did it that episode, so I thought I'd give them an update to show them what has happened since. How are you doing? Yeah, sure.

To give you an idea of what kind of place I was in then, I was in a bad place Rob. I was drinking to get to sleep. Was she? I didn't know who's drinking to get to sleep. Yeah, I was having panic attacks. thin' I. th. th. th. th. th. thi I. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. that, I's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to thea. thea. thea. the was whining quite a lot, yeah. And a bit of fun, that, isn't it? We can all have fun with a serious topic. Yes, yeah, he was drinking himself to sleep because he had insomnia and he hated his life, but he couldn't have a little joke about it now. He could have a little joke about it now. Because the whole thing was so absurd. So there was th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi was thi was thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, tho tho tho tho thi, thi, tho tho tho thoom tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to to to to to to to to too. tooo. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. too. to to too to was this moment Rob. Yeah. I don't know even if I'd said about this, when I was on the last leg, Christmas special.

At such a special time. Right? Such a special time, filmed in November. And I was dressed as Kermit the Frog. When Kermit the Frog's Bob Cratchit. Yeah? You know when Kermit the fall, where's Bob Cratchett. And I was feeling quite down at this point, Rob.

And was you down before the outfit? Not even related to the outfit. And Cratchit's not going to help. He was having a tough time, Cratchet. Exactly. Exactly. But no. And then the final bit was of course, I'm sure you're aware of this, it's the only way to celebrate Christmas. Adam Hills and Aja Doodoo singing, Step Into Christmas by Elton John, right? Obviously, obviously.

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I've got dressed as Elton John behind the keyboard. So what's that just back in your normal clothes? Yeah, really nice. time to do a full change, so it just goes over the top. And there was a moment where I was dressed as Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit as Elton John, pretending to play keyboards. Yeah. And I thought, I've never been so depressed. But I'm...

Can I... What did you feel like that, did I think? I think it was a chemical imbalance. But... Oh, so... So that was a low moment. I'd say that was a point when I thought, this isn't ideal. No, no, no. I'm in a bad place, it. And you've been busy that week as well? Yeah, but I tell you what has happened, Rob. So the meditation has helped, but the meditation could only do so much, right? So I was basically... You can't really meditate in the middle of a show either, can you? No, I just mean generally. To be fair, you do look quite fed up.

Yeah. I'm going to send it to you as well. We can see that. It's quite nice to look back on that person. It must feel like a different person. It does feel like a different person. Oh, here we go. Yeah, that is so funny.

I can imagine them directing the shot going, yeah, don't go close up on Josh, he's crying. Oh my God, look at me. Do you know what? In my head I'd plastered on a smile. Sometimes you go, you see these people, you wouldn't know they're struggling. No, you can tell you struggling there's no doubt that man you even know the worst of everyone no I'm like actually Cole at Roma

such a great reference oh that's funny oh that's funny the worst thing about it oh that's before Elton John's even gone on. That's just the first two-thirds of the outfit. So are you saying you're not even depressed there? No, no, I was depressed all day. Right. It was a good show. Don't get me wrong. It's okay to laugh about this though, isn't it? I think it's good. You've got a laugh about it. Yeah, I think you've you've got you've got you've got you've got you've got you've got you've got you've got the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's thi's thi. thin' tho' tho' tho' th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. thea. that's thea'' thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thooooooo' think you've got a laugh at the because it's fucking absurd. Look at me. Also well done for getting Ashley Colt Roma in there that is such a great reference if they haven't seen that it's Ashley Col and he joined Roma and he's so obviously not

part the team yet and he can't. If one of the when we put these on our Instagram if someone could take the time to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I I I'm the the theymeau one one one one one I was tooombeauauauroman I they. I's they. I's they. I I's they. I I I I I's they. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I tooes one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. te. toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. toy. tthe Roma team group that would be ideal. Obviously me has to go at the frog as Bob Cratchett. Yeah yeah absolutely. Pre pre pre Elton job I don't think we could handle it at that. No exactly. So that was your sort of lowest yeah so anyway let me go back let me go back so that was actually you're not going to believe this. that was that was a that was a that was a that was a that was a that was a that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that that that that was that that was that was that was that was that that that was that that was that that that that that was that was that was that was that was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that was that that was that was that was that was that was not that was not that was not the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. the the tho. tho. the the tho. the tho. that was tho. that was this. That was a couple of weeks after things had started to pick up. I had a man full of Stanley there, sorry about that. So you was on the semi-up from there. So what happened all summer was awful. I was having those panic attacks should go to sleep. I was feeling incredibly anxious and depressed. Occasionally if I did get to sleep, well, then the next day feel good and then it would like the stress of that night would build up.

Yep. And so what was causing it, Josh, looking back do you think like what was making you get in that state and I had it been building slowly or was it one thing that said it all? So I think it was basically, well I'll come to this because I went to see a doctor about it right, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, I, thi, I, thin, I, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, like, thin, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the th, it, it, it, it, it, it, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, they, thin, thin, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, like, like, they to this because I went to see a doctor about it, right? So what happened was this was all going on. I was having good periods, like when we did the audio book, I remember that was quite a good period. And then you'd have a bad night and it would go bad again, and then it would just suddenly come from nowhere, and I was drinking to get to sleep when it was feeling bad which is a very bad thing to do because that's a depressant. And so then I remember it came to a head when went on that stag dude, do you remember going when I went on the stag dude to Bruges? Yes you had to call an

ambulance for someone yeah. The best man, yeah. So when I came back I just felt really, really unable to deal with going back to normal life and I was like, yeah I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the to the the the to the the the the the to the the to the to to to the to to to to to the to the the the the their to to to to to to to their me the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the stguuuguegueuuuuuuuuu. stgueguegueuuuuuuuu. to to to to to to to to to tooooooooooge anymore. I've been trying to get better for five months, and I'm not getting better here. So I went to see a doctor who- What kind of doctor, a GP or like a psychologist person? A GP? Went to see a GP and got put on antidepressants, which is, I'm gonna say the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Because when they said it, I was really afraid of it. Do you know what I mean? Yes. Because it sounds really like scary. It sounds like admitting you've got a problem. It sounds like admitting that you can't fix it yourself. And you're going to be zoned out and not be able to be. You're not going to be able to. And they're like, they're like, they're like, to be z to be z to be z to be z to be z to be z z to be z to be z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z. And not to be z zoned out to be zoned out and not and not and not and not to be z zoned out and not to be zoned out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out and not to be zoned out and not to be zoned out to be zoned out to be z z z z z z z out to be z out to be z out to be z out to be z. and not to be z. and not to be z. and not to be to be to be to be to be th. and not th. And not th. And not th. And not th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. th. thoed thoed out, thoed out, thoed out, thoed out, thoed out thoe. And not're not gonna be able to, and they were like reassured me on all that, and I was like, look, and also they're like, you've got to do this for six months kind of thing. And so they put me on Escatalapram. Yeah, and so it takes a few weeks to kick in, hence Kermitgate. Yeah, you don't need that when you need that when that when that to to need to need to need to need to need to need to need to need 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, to be, to be 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, too. too. too. too. too. to, too. to, too. to. to. the to. the the to. to.'re on the antidepressants even though you know that they've got to take a couple weeks to get in you're like this is not helping to be that is like a hose pipe on a housefire

yeah exactly you're not just like doing the commute to the office job to write Doric the Explorer no you are on national television dressed as they said That's what they said. Because that will set you back. The reason I think it's important to talk about is because I was almost embarrassed by being on them. Yeah, I think it's really important to say that, you know, be honest. Yeah, you get two weeks of side effects as I went on to tho. And then that go that that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thin, thi's thin, thin, thi, thin, thin' thin' thin' thin' tho, thin' tho, thin' thin' thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, th't drink for the first few weeks, just so that we know they're working. And I had to go to my friend's 40th, and I was really nervous about that. And I was like, I've got to say I'm not drinking. And I sat down with my two mates.

And I was like, I'm not drinking. They were like, and I justed. And I they said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I said, I, I, I, I, I, Iquitalopram, and both of them were on it as well. And that's when I kind of first realized how prevalent it is that people have had to go on this, but it's not talked about at all? No, not at all. One in six people in the UK has been, or adults, sorry, has been or is on antidepressants. But it's not talked about like that, so there's a stigma, there's a huge stigma attached. Yeah, because everyone just goes go and breathe for a bit.

I'm like, well, I might need more on that. Yeah, exactly. And I'm not saying it's a long-term, and you've got to try and change your life life while I was also having panic attacks to get to sleep. Yes. And it was like trying to change a tire while going down the motorway. That's a really good way to describe it, yeah. This is just giving me a chance. And that just pauses it for you, it just stops the car. To let me alter my life choices and way I live my life, and then if I want to, I can phase the stuff out. Do you know what I mean?

Yes, yeah, exactly. But I just think it was important to say that that's happened because I think if anyone like me, I really saw it as like an admission of failure and embarrassing and stuff like that initially. And I don't think, and I thought, well, that's not me, I don't want to do, I've never, you know, you go, oh, that's not me, that's someone else. And so I just thought it was important to say that on the podcast and also tell the Kermit story. No, I think that's really, really good and I think it, like you say, all then as soon as you went, oh, and then you realize other people are on it, you know?

And have you eased off on them, or are you still on them? So they, I'm on less than I was, and I've got a good few months coming up, and I'm really putting those aside to work on feeling better and mental health and stuff like that. Yes, they're not working so much. Yeah. Because like, yeah, your diary last year was insane. And that's not the only reason that you're feeling like that, but like you say, if you have no space to think or rest or do a bit of self-care or go to the gym or do whatever, you're

not going to get better. And I'm still having, you can't just go, and I took this pill and I feel this pill and I feel better better better better better better better better better better better better better better better better better better.. And I'm that. When I feel stressed I still feel really stressed I still go fuck this feels quite 2022. Yeah and when I meditate it really helps and stops me being irritant and all these things but it just gives me a kind of safety net you know I mean or a kind of cushion that allows me to function when it's really tough but also then hopefully you know allows me to rebuild a bit so there you go. Yeah you're doing so well Josh honestly very proud of you and it's very it it it it's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th.

So there you go. Yeah, you're doing so well, Josh, honestly. Very proud of you, and it's very inspiring to say all of that stuff out loud so other people can hear it

or they'll forward it on to someone else to listen to and go, oh, you might get something from this. Especially with blocs. There's really a thing. Like yesterday, it wasn't a bad day, but there was loads of like, you know when stuff sort doesn't really go your way and like, oh God, now that's been moved and kids are, you know, all your schedule moves. And he's been, oh, fucking, you don't stop all day. And you run around and then you run around.

And then you're supposed to be going to go back to the ti and it was like, and I I, and I, and I had to go back out again and come back and I was like, I can't bother to do this and then Lou went just go, just go, just go, even if you just go out for an hour or two, you just have a bit of quiet time, and I got there like 20 minutes early and I sat and did that in the gym and did the training and it was really hard and during it I was like oh god this really up but went afterwards I felt so good that I'd done it yeah come back then I had more energy and my head was a thriller and I think it's so important to make time to do that if you're just kids are working non-stop it is tot is tot is tot is tot is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their 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 try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. today's really fascinating about like a way humans work is it's so often the thing that you need the most mentally and physically that you discard

quickest when you get busy. Yeah, I think it's almost like your anxiety goes, don't do that, because then I don't win. Yeah, exactly. I can't exist if that comes up. It's like that. That tells you, oh, don't do that. You don't do that. And that.

So when my brain's really fizzing, I sort of try and think of myself like in a lake. And I'm sort of like sinking down a little bit. And on top of the lake is the boats and whatever jet skis and swimmers and all that zooming across that's all my thoughts and you've got to do this you've got to do that and just try to just pull back away from them a little bit yeah sort of observe it all going on rather than being in the middle of it try to direct it all yeah you know what I mean yeah totally totally but like you say sometimes you can't now where I've sort of calmed down my diary and done sort of therapy. I never went on to medication but I've got loads of things in place that helped me do all those things. But

you can't do them things if your car is still going 100 miles an hour. So if you have to have the medication to get you to that point where you can think a bit clearer, then I think it's a great method. Yeah, then I think it's I think it's a th. Then I think it's a great method it's a great method. th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi's a great, the. the. the. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's the. I's to. to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. thea. the. the. the. the. to do it, everyone works differently. Well it's weird isn't it because it's the only area where medical, if you said I'm on ventoline to control my wheezing, people wouldn't go, oh I don't know about that. Are you worried it's gonna make your breath weird? Or are you still gonna be the same job? Yeah, exactly. The one thing I'll say about the sleeping thing just as a final thing, because I didn't the one the one tho tho tho the one tho th, because I th, because I th, because I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, people, thi, people, people, thi, tho, people, tho, tho, tho, th... people, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thou, to to to thin, to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, people I didn't answer your question on to what you thought the sleeping thing was. Oh yes. And for ages I thought the reason I'm anxious is because I'm not sleeping and however many times people told me that insomnia is a result of anxiety and depression,

I wouldn't accept it in my head. Really. And the thing that made me go to the doctor really was realizing that that is exactly what was happening is that I was having panic attacks when I was going to sleep. That was a result of anxiety. It was just a symptom of it. The sleeping wasn't a thing that had been, it was created by me, my body going, I can't deal with the way you're living anymore. Yeah. So that's really, I go to sleep fine now. Oh, that's good. I was away in hotels and I went straight to sleep in a hotel, which was always the thing I struggled with. So fingers crossed, things are on a very positive note. Good work, Josh.

Very impressed. But it was just 10 years of existing on like adrenaline. Of pushing from one thing to another to another to another to another. Yeah. Yeah. And also is that kind of thing, in your, in, in, in, 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, thi. things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, things, tho, things, tho, things, things, things, things, things. things. things. things. things. things. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thoooo. thooo. things, things, th excited about things and all that and that's who you are, but it's in now in a much more manageable way rather than eating into your thoughts all the time, you know, that kind of stuff, so. Totally. The show's still funny even though you're happier, which was a worry at one point. I was like, oh God said before and it's not fun being around a Zen person is it?

No, it's not fun being around a Zen person. Shall we read some emails about people's kids swearing and their parents from boomer generations bullying them? Yeah, so let's have a look at this. Do some actual correspondence. Yeah. You fucking droning on about your mental elf mate, but... Yeah, bloody out. I can't believe how depressed I look in that Kermit Frot. In my head, I covered the whole thing up completely. Really? You thought you'd put on a smile?

Yeah. Brilliant. Right, do you want to parent him fail? Yes. Here we go. Parenting fowl. When we potty weighed my son had got the hang of views in this, he soon moved on to the toilet. We decided to keep the travel potty in the bathroom because he also used it as a step to be able to wash his hands at the sink. After several months I decided it was time to get rid of the potty. They are quite expensive to the the the the the the the the the the the the t. t. the the. tie. tie. toy. toy. toy. toy. than. tmueue. tmue. tmse. tmse. tmse. thae. toynip. toyn't. thae. toyn. to bea. to bea. to bea. to get. to get.

for my husband to try and open later when he got home and left it for the husband, to try and to try and to try and to try and told the task of opening and cleaning the potty. It also couldn't pull the lid open. We thought perhaps, because my son had used it as a step, maybe the lid had broken or had been pushed too far into the sill. I decided to try using a spoon to run the seal and open and pull back to our horror, a massive black tar substance in front of us. Before the lid the most putrid, smelly black tar substance in front of us. I asked my son if he used a potty at all.

He just stared blankly at us. The amount of playdates and children come in and going, we still to this day have no idea who did it or how long it had been there. Oh my God. shove the lid back on and threw the potty away. I messes the buyer and lied and told them that summoned a reply to me sooner and picked it up. Till this day I still think hands down the most disgusting parenting fowl. On the bright side I still would highly recommend the travel potty as when they advertise as no odors or spilages they do really mean no odors. That is absolutely disgusting. I forgot about the black. the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I. I. I their. I their. I've their. I've to to to to to to to to th.

My friends have just had babies and my brother so there's lots of baby chat on the group. You've got to

say though, we've escaped the worst smell ever and someone's got that in through another one of our topics. I know! Do you want to hear another disgusting story?

Oh my god. On the carpet and stairs. Oh no. So he has to get a professional carpet cleaner and it was 10 steps of shit.

Oh my god. Just slid all the way down the middle like a giant skid mark. Absolutely awful. Yeah. Right, I've got some boomers here Josh. Dear Robin Josh, the sexiest most modern and relatable men in comedy. Do you like that? Too bloody right? Too bloody right. So modern. I've been loving the stories about children's artwork. I mean, when you say sexy and relatable I literally did just think, oh, I've got a bit of a headache. I need to have an eye test and I tho-and I 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 told told told. So, told. told, told, told, to to to to to to to told, the, that- to like to like to like to, do like to, do like to, do like to to to to to to to that. th. that. that. that. Do, that. Do, that.

Do, the, the, the, the, the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to the the to to to the to the to to their, their, their, their, their, to and I thought I need to write down I need to have an eye test at that exact moment as I was being called sexy. Well we know how well my anecdotes about eye test go. Exactly yeah let's hope. Let's not get bogged down by the option again. Okay. When you go over 30 they'll do bloathing your eye it. I don't know if that happens over 40, let me know what happens when you're 40 they'd have to put your finger up your ass to check your prostate so I don't know if at 40 they'll do something else to your eye because your eyes are older. Take it out and polish it.

Yeah, pop that back in. Good as new. Okay. I've been loving the stories about children's artwork and it's triggered a boom of parenting story. As a child in really happen anymore now, does it? Or are you still doing it? No, it's not as big a deal, is it? I remember that. Maybe it's a food wasted.

Yeah. It's probably difficult to, on the one day, get parents to give kids stuff to give to a food bank and then the next day be making theory. Anyway, my mom was always enthusiastic about my terrible art and had a way of making me feel that my pictures were extra special. Big mistake. She told me that the fairies wanted my artwork to wallpaper the caves they lived in. She said the fairies would visit the cupboard under the stairs every Tuesday night

to collect my pictures. Brilliant. So every Tuesday night, I carefully placed my master. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. I, the. I, the. I, the. I, theathea, theathea, theathea, theathea, theathea, theathea, theathea, th. T. I, th.

Farkin out, this is brutal. But lovely but brutal. They had been. I had visions of fairies. I had visions.

I had visions of fairer. But no, my mom told me, Tuesday night was it. the dusting night, the dusting the dusting, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, the dust, was. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. a single one! What? That's unbelievable. How bad were they? No, I'm more still. Lisa, Leslie, no, come on. Oh, that's a shake. It's froze some, but some are good. Yeah. I'm keeping a lot of theirs. I love them. We go through the pile and we're like, I'd say we keep one in seven. Keep our chuck. It's the closest we get to tinderin. Just swipe left and right. And another drawing. Hi, Robin Josh, I'm a long time listening to that and wanted to share my boomer story about my dad hoping it will help as some sort of therapy. I was around the age of seven or eight, so around 80 or 81. I was excited to be having a birthday party at my house, a traditional affair of around 10 school friends for jelly ice cream sandwiches, musical bumps, pasta parcel, sleeping lions and the classic

Hunt the Peg. What's that? What the fucks hunt the peg? I don't know what... I'll hear what. For younger listeners, the clue is in the name. Pegs are hidden around the house and the child who finds the he always moaned about me Not doing any things by halves Imagine his anger when in my haste to be the champion peg finder. I

Smashed an antique lamp worth a large amount of money. He was furious so furious he stopped the party no He didn't we didn't even have cake and sent all my friends home What's the break? Now that is not fun. Fuck off. I'm sorry about this Natalie. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. to. th. th. th. to. th. th. to. 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 the the the the the the the the 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. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea' thea' thea' is time. Fuck off! I'm sorry about this, Natalie, but that is bang out of order. What a self-indulgent... But send love to your dad. He sadly passed away last night. Ha ha ha! In those days, no parents stayed at the party,

so ten children were sent into the street to find their own way home. And I was sent to my room. I was sent to my room to think about my actions. Needless to say, I had literally never had a birthday party since. I can't think of anything worse. Oh, Natalie. Oh, my God, Natalie. Let's organize a birthday that the peg. Yeah, but she's not coming around my house, not with her butter fingers. Don't want her smashing me.

Don't want her smashing up. Imagine your knick knacks, I'm going flying. Yeah, no way, Natalie. Let's rent a room and you're putting down the deposit because I don't trust you with any of the items, isn't it?

Okay, oldest things your kid says. My two-year-old every now and then, when he gets up off the floor says, off the knees, s but feeling it in our bones and muscles, Pip.

Yeah. He now calls his testicles, his tentacles, and thinks they grow more willies. That's Laura in Cardiff, I wouldn't say as an expert in biology. Hey guys, I recently started listening to you whilst training for the London marathon, running and laughing. Yes, it's possible. I wanted to message in regards to something my now five-year-old said when she was two. I rubbed her cheek and I said, I love your face. She looked up at me and said, I love your tit. A little bit of context though. She was breastfed as a baby, so maybe it was that.

Jade, 421 months. Oh Jade, just say out there, you've got great tits. That is incredible. Just accept it, Jade. I love your tits. Even a two-year-old can acknowledge them.

Craig doesn't have any kids that he knows of. Hey, hey!

Hey! But we all love hearing your stories and the troubles and joys that being a pair and brings all of us. Our small business is all handmade chocolate brownies, which are all gluten-free.

on the first episode of the Always Be Comedy podcast. Out now and with me, your host and MC Always Be Comedy, James Gill. Each week, the Cream of Comedy Curates their Fantasy Comedy Gig. Who'd open, who'd close. What gig nightmare do they never want to relive? All this and much much more. It's essentially comedy gossip and chat. You know I remember this the other day, my first ever gig, oh it was like a Friday night, open mic night and they said, we'll just announce you on when you're on, we haven't got a running order, it's a bit free form. I got to the end of the night and then they wrapped it up and they'd forgotten to put me on and I'd sat there the whole night. We've also got Stuart

Lee, Harry Hill, Jen Brister, Ben Bailey Smith, Maisie Adam, Al Murray, Rachel Paris and many many more coming up. That's the Always Be Comedy Podcast out now with new episodes every Tuesday. I'm Ivo Graham, and I'm Alex Keeley, with stand-up comedians who love music. And we'd like to tell you about our new podcast, GigPigs. Alex and I have been watching live music together for years, so we've decided to compromise this hobby and potentially our friendship by turning it into a project. Every episode we'll be going to a gig and then discussing it afterwards with the friends who came along to third wheel us.

Asking questions like, did you enjoy the gig? Did you check the set list in advance? Did you appreciate the artist's mid-songbant the tou'n't banter? Did this gig profoundly changeinand with Rosemattifo and Emma City, Kendrick Lamar with Phil Wang, and the Cure with Celia A B. And next month we're going with Ed Gamble to watch Napalm Death. Episodes are out from this Thursday and every Thursday thereafter until attending live music once

a week with a different guest becomes logistically impossible. We have no idea how soon that could be, so join us now, by going to your preferred podcast platform and searching gigpigs. Hello and welcome to the trailer of Oh My Dog with me Jack D. And me Sean Walsh. In our new weekly podcast we'll be revealing the most intimate, ridiculous details of our relationships with our beloved dogs. I have the delightful spirited Mildred Barrett, who is a cockapoo. Yeah, my streetwise best friend is Dolly, the long-haired chihuahua that we rescued.

We'll be asking the all-important questions, like does your dog sleep in your bed? Do you let your dog kiss you on the mouth? And what voice do you use when you're speaking to your dog? I'm going to make the mourners. I'll give you the squeezes and give you the rubby baleas, kisses you the morning. What are you doing, Sean? I'm doing the voice that I used to speak to Mildred. Oh, thank goodness for that. We'll also get our equally dog obsessed. What, what, what are you doing?
