Or hopefully how they're they're tha th hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course, tales of parenting woe.

Starting point is 00:02:05 Open brackets, welcome thoughts on the name, close brackets. From... Chorley? Fuley? Keep up the good work. He's got to be a tough fucking kid. Cal and Chess. Chess, like the board game.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Cow, chess and wolf gang. They are three great names. What would you call yourself if you're called wolf gang? Would you go full or would you call yourself? I've got myself a fucking victim at school. That's what I call myself. Right, so I'm assuming they're German. I, difficult to tell. Well, cow could be callo, which is, but it said I just think, I just think you are creating a small talk conversation. Given your child the name Wolfgang is like going on first dates.
Starting point is 00:02:54 It's, it'll always be brought up. You know what I mean? I forgot. You think every boy should we call Steve and every girl should we call Jane, don't I don't, I don't mind the name Wolfgang, especially in Germany. I'm saying if you live in Chorley and your name's Wolfgang, you are having an extra conversation every day whatever you're doing. Yeah. It's almost like being famous. Yeah. Okay, I'm bringing up British gas.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I'm bringing up British gas. You answer the phone as British Gas. Okay. Hello British Gas. I've got beef with British Gas at the moment. Yeah. Hello there. I need to sort out my account. Okay, what's wrong? My name's Wolfgang. Okay. My name's my name's Wolfgang. Okay. Let me put that in my name's Wolfgang. Okay. Um, let me put that in the wrong way around, the world, the role play. Yeah, yeah, you. that. that's. that's. that's. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the the th. the the the 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Yeah, yeah, it was wrong because you're, I'm trying to disprove the point. All right, okay. All right, I'll call a British gas. Hello, gas company here. Hello, yes, I'd like to make a complaint.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Okay, cool. And, I've got a busy day. I don't need this, all right? Give me a name. Is this being recorded for training purposes? Yeah, okay. Like a Wolfgang, where'd you live? Oh, surely? Come on, in Chorley, Wolfgang, do me in favor. Yeah, I've just had it's a lion's name. I don't want to go in too hard on the name.
Starting point is 00:04:25 No, but if they're German and they might be going back to Germany. They've said, welcome your views on the name. I think they got them. Yeah, I think they got them. It is, it's a, it's a wolf, and there's like the gladiator. Luckily that's not on anymore. I know it's coming back. Yeah but I don't think Wolf's gonna be and it's about 80. Yeah, I'm hanging tough on a stair lift. Right he's probably entitled to some free gas and electric and eat well. I'm having an absolute nightmare here with my so basically because we're moving aren't we? Me and the kids. And the kids. We're moving at some point this year. This this this this this th. Is th.

Starting point is 00:05:08 get rid of the dog yeah so but so I've got a little office space to do the podcast from because where we go into hasn't really got an office yeah in the house or in the garden or anything so it'll be too loud yeah and I'll get disturbed I've sold it all out but I've got the gas and the gas the gas the gas the gas the gas the gas the gas the gas the gas to to the gas to to the to the the to the to the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 tho. I I tho. tho. thoooo. I too. I to. the the the the've got the gas and electric I've been putting my name but I need to ring up to sort it out. So on the office space can I just ask have you got one of the you're in one of those open plan offices where you'll be next to someone who's like a graphic design? No no it's my own own door so it's all separate because well there's no point in that I'm I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I's no point I I's no point I's no point I's no point I's no point I's no point I's no point I'm there's no point I'm there's no point I'm there's no point I'm there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no point I'm there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I was no there's no there's no there's no there's no there I'm there I'm there's no there's no there's no there's no there's no point I'm no point. I'm no there's no point. I'm no point. I'm no there's no point. I'm no there's no point. I'm no there's no there's no there's no point I'm no there's bloke trying to set up a some sort of vape company and I'm trying he's selling CBD oil online and I'm like welcome to the pot. You're talking about the name Wolfgang. Can you keep it down mate all right? And then we start kicking off, he's like, calm down Rob, have a bit of this.
Starting point is 00:05:56 And then I'm like 37 I've got a wife and two children I've got I've got a house I live in I've got a job you're a career and I'm bored I am boring that but like I've got I've had to source office space for my job yeah I just I still feel like a 16 year old that like I works in a supermarket yeah and I have to do all this stuff and then because I I thought I used to look to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th to to to to th th th th to th th th to th th to th to to to to to th to to to th th th. th th. th 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 th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. too. toe. toe. to the. the. the. the.. And I have to do all this stuff. And then, because I thought, I used to look at people my age and go, oh, they're grown-ups and they know exactly what's going.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I've got no idea what I'm doing at any point. Of course not. Do you feel like that? Like, I feel like I should know what I'm doing, but I still feel like a child that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that like that when, say, your dad or your father-in-law comes and helps do something? And I think I'm never getting to this level. Yeah, yeah, true, but then I don't know if he in his head is going, I don't really know how to do this either, but he's looking at me like I should. And he's playing a part, and like even at 70 you're wandering around, I don't ask I'm bluffing. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm laughing. I'm thin' thi- I'm thi- I'm thi- I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm not thi. I'm not thi. I'm not thi. I'm not te. trying. to trying. to trying. to to trying to trying to to to to trying to to to thea. this. I'm absolutely bluffing. Exactly. The worst is when I do achieve something, it's pathetic how pleased I am.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Yeah, well we've all heard about you fixing the boiler by pouring some hot water on a cold pile. Exactly though, Rob. So a normal grown up would just do that and keep it to themselves. But to me it's such a step in the right direction. I can't shut up about it. No, do you know what that is? We're needy. We've got something missing which makes us a performer because we need to that attention and we need to prove ourselves. So that's why we say out loud. I think most people just keep it to themselves. So I think anyway I try to sort out out. But anyway. But I'm the gas. But I'm to sort sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort the gas. to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort to sort their their to sort. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to that's to to something something something something something something. to. to. to. to. to. to. that's missing. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. their. that's. their. that's missing. their. that. their. that. their. that. their. that. their. that. that's missing. their. they. that's missing. they. that's missing. S. S which I was quite excited about. This isn't an advert by the way after you, but I was like, basically it's all online. There's no, it's all emails and you just speak to people on a web chat, right? Yeah, I've been trying to talk to someone on a web chat for a week. Well this doesn't have like an advert. So basically they do nine to five and then you click click, you they're click, you, you, you, you, you, you, like oh my god what am I doing trying to get the Glastonbury? And basically I'm on when you take over like gas and shit you're on deemed
Starting point is 00:08:11 which basically is their worst tariff but you still have heat in an electric so that you can work straight away right, obviously, because it's mad at the moment. And so I'm desperately trying to get off deemed, and then I just cut, but there's no button to change tariff, surely that should be on the website. So I'm waiting. And I was in Q-200, right? I got down to one. It took two and a half hours, but it was in the background. Yeah, and then, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I. the, the, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but there, but, but, but there, but there, but, but, but, but, but there, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, there, there, I. there, I. there. there. there, I. there, I. there. there, but, there, there, there, there, there, but, there, but, there, there, there, but, this has been going on all week and then what happens is because it's like, if I sit down to admin, normally I've got like an hour to do it, kind of bit. Of course. But yeah, I basically got factored about two hours and a half. And then so I did it one day and then I was in the middle of a meeting and I literally couldn't couldn't couldn the kids from school went Lou I've been on this for an hour and 45 now I'm 20th in the queue basically what happens is when I get down to one I get down to one I
Starting point is 00:09:09 get down to one I so then I said to Lou All you've got to do is you're on the web page like it's all open You just got to give them that number my name and you can you can be me okay Anyway, I go to go and get the kids come back. She's forgot to look at the website. Oh, no, no, I see a, I'm like, ruh, and then I'm right, hello? And it goes, sorry, no one answered. We terminated the web chat. Refresh it, 217! Oh, no. And then that was at 4 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I got down to 30. He got to 5 o'clock. It just stopped because it was 5 o'clock. Why does it need to be 9 to 5? Surely they could pay some people to just slightly length from the days. In the flexi model, well, 9 to 5, what is he? A fucking 45-year-old man in 1972? Who's doing 9 to 5? Anyway, so, ends up, we're recording this is 5 earlier. I'm quite looking for you getting in the queue live. I'm getting in the queue live in five minutes, all right?
Starting point is 00:10:28 To just let you know that if I go quiet, I'm chatting to someone about my tariff. Oh yeah, we'll cover that live. I'm looking for that live. Because on the website it's got like, all your, you can't add to a user, you can put a meter, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and put, and put, and put, and put, and a, and a, and a, and, and a, and a, and, and, and, and, and, to, and, and, and, to, and, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the list on web chat so anyway that's my life at the moment it's a stressful week but you might just be the first person that goes online at nine o'clock I'm gonna set my alarm for 859 and do you know what else has been going on Josh I've been eating to?

Yeah, I just rolled my eyes and I'm all whispering whispering Bob Harris is in, so... Keep it between me and you, yeah? Tony Blackburns has dropped an absolute rotter there. No, so it is me, apologies. Anyway, Josh, sorry for that. That is a bit disgusting. I've set my alarm for 8.59, so we'll try and get you in the queue at exactly 9 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yes, that's what we'll do and we'll do that live. But there's no chance of me speaking to some before the end of this record. We recalced for about 50 minutes. Yeah. Leaving it! Potentially, the Friday intro. I know. A little peek behind the curtain there. How has parenting been, Rob? It's not been too bad, actually. It's been pretty good. Lou's not been well, so I've been picking up the slack a little bit, which is she's doing all the school runs.

So she left the morning. Oh, yes, she deserves this. So Monday morning she's left and then she's coming back Sunday morning. Oh my word. But you know what she did? Was helpful, but a bit patronizing.

The forward government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year. If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government. Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Rob. Yes. How was it? I am no longer deemed. I'm on a fix. Oh yes, that was good. But basically I've selected it now, but it's still saying I'm on deemed.

Here we go we're back in the game I'm back in the game Josh. Great news. Great how has parenting been? Parented it's been I'll say it's been pretty good I mean I'm all right I'm looking forward to having a bit of a lone time with the girls which is good yeah and I'll tell what made me laugh though my brother is expecting a baby the next month. th And we were chatting about, I said to him like, who's like, I was talking about, his first? His first, but obviously he's got nieces and nephews and stuff. And I said also who out of you and your partner is like the best of like getting up,
Starting point is 00:22:53 and the best of like getting up, like the morning, like, Izzy and Ellis, if someone is terrible at getting up, let them do the late ones and then you do the... Like me and Rose. Yeah, yeah, me and Lou as well. I'd stay up late all night, it's fine for me, she's up at six anyway, whatever's going on. I'm up early, what the today. I'm up early, I'm up early to be honest with both sort of nightbirds and I was like okay. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that that that took to be that annoying parent that's like laughs because it's so frustrated I remember
Starting point is 00:23:33 when I was expected a baby I had a young one like oh yeah but yeah but yeah let's see how that works out but it's very hard not to mean I didn't sort sort of his face kind of he was just doing it behind his back on ear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does he listen to the broadcast? I don't know. Probably will soon. He'll have plenty of time in the night to do that. No, but he just said this is really cracked me up. Well, you know, I suppose when it all calms down in like two months, well, you know. That's not even the thi' th th th th th th th th that's that's that's that's that's that's that like two months. Right, yeah, yeah. Right. We'll all probably get up about eight o'clock. What? I know. Oh my God. I was like, oh yeah, oh it may be, yeah, if you have a
Starting point is 00:24:11 good sleeper, you might, but... What, after two runs? Oh, I didn't know. Oh, my contract will start tomorrow. One more day of deemed. Right. I'm closing down the website, thank you. Oh, Victoria. I'll tell you what, if you go with British Gas Light, he said a fucking seesaw of emotions that place. Wooh, anyway, he went, yeah, it all comes down in two months to wake up, hey, I was like, okay, fair enough. But then I was speaking to one of our friends we worked with, we had a meeting last week, didn't we, Josh? about the arena shows and stuff. And he's got sort of grown-up-ish children, a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old. He said I had my first lie in on Saturday. I was like, what? What? You had my first lie in? I went, what? Since when? Since I had kids? What? in. I went what but they've both had Saturday
Starting point is 00:25:05 and Sunday jobs since they were like teenagers so I used to drive her and drop her off at work so she's giving up that job I had my first lie in. 17 years. Well it all calms down in two months. That's what they say the old two month calm down with kids. Oh my word. So I'll keep you updated on his, he'll probably have a sleeper and be like lying until nine and then I'll have egg on my face. Oh my God, well there we go, that's good. I've had a up and down week parenting. Oh, what happened?
Starting point is 00:25:35 What did you go in the park? Oh, really? Guess how many times I went to? How many times? How times? How times? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How?

I went to, well, actually, my daughter went to two separate clubs this week, but she's not interested in the park as it is. What's she doing? She did karate.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yep. Yeah. And then we went to gymnastics crew. Got there early. You got a medal yet? No, it's it's very it's much more lax than that. I like it. You wait mate. You'll be meddled out your face by next week. She'll get a medal for a Rolley Poli mate. Well, she should have got three. She did three in a row. I can't believe it. Do you know what I did it was doing within two minutes mate. mate? What? Helping to set up a massive trampoline because I was early. Really? We just drop them off at the door and they run in? No, no, no, well because it was her first one, I was early. Also all the parents hang out in the corner so it's kind... I forgot you hate other parents.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Oh! I sit in my car and watch Tickto in the wall. Do you chat to the other parents? Yeah, they're my friends. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh? Oh? Oh. Oh.

Yeah they're my friends. I think you've got too many mates. They're their kids already there. That's why she's going there. Is that cold? East London? You all know each other. It's like a night show Amelan, a village thing, you know you're in the little village together. But it's all the parents from nursery all their their their their their their their their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids go their kids their kids their kids their kids they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they're they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their kids their their th. their their th. their kids their their their their their the, you're in the little village together. But it's all the parents from nursery, all their kids go to the same gymnastics, I'm like, well, I'll send her that. Right, fair enough. Yeah. Sheep. Well, that's nice if you like people. If you sat on a little bench like you're like a little reserve watching children roll you pido yeah well yeah well fair enough did she to enjoy it yeah I can't get my eldest into any clubs but the only way we do it is she's the only way we do it is she's got no interest unless her mates are going so
Starting point is 00:27:42 so it's essentially for her you get out into it off the back of it being a social. Yeah. See my eldest likes chatting and talking and socializing and I don't think she like I think the school's so structured after school she quite likes going to late room so there's a late room where if like you're running a bit late room. What's that? What's the fuck? Where the fuck is she? River Phoenix? What's going on? Like? Yeah, I know it's on club. They're all in there smoking, doing meth. No, it's basically there's a finish time. And if you're not at the gate, you know, running late
Starting point is 00:28:16 from work or whatever, they can like go back into this late room for half an hour. Oh, I see. It's at no cost. It's sort sort a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, th. It's a. It's a. It's a th. It's a th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's at no cost it's sort of just a very fancy ability where there is like an after-school club but they can stay till five if you need them to which we occasionally put them in if I'm one of us we're not back in time but the late room they sort of go there so she quite likes actually gets to do what she wants and color in and chat to people she said she loves art she loves art she's the th I th you th I th I 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 thus th thus the the. the. the. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th to to to to to thus to to thou to tttttry to ttry to to to the the they they they they they they they they they's doing um tyquondo I told you she calls it she calls it kaiwondo it's quite cute and you know I bought that tyquoando outfit for my oldest refused to wear it youngest one loves it she's loving it so that's good that's the beauty of it yeah we've got a to buy karate or is it karate I think if I kept saying karate I can't say karate. I just can't, can I? You can't say karate. No. Would you watch the podcast if I, if you, I don't watch the karate, you're not allowed
Starting point is 00:29:10 to because it's a school club. Yes. Like, which is normal. Yeah. What do you mean it's normal? Parents, I think, let them go in on their own, let them do their own thing. They don't need any parents get involved in sport is never a ththing. They'll always get over and involved and shout. Yeah, yeah. You're not screaming at her about a form, are you at gymnastics? No, I'm not screaming, no, I don't give a, I know I'm on my phone. Land it! Land it! Tuck in, tuck in on the rock! Tuck in on the forward roll! Yeah, so that's what we've been doing. That was very good actually Rob. I really believed that.
Starting point is 00:29:45 What, that's how you, I would aggressively be a gymnastic dad. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I've just got my weekly screen, screen report come in. Oh, dear. I haven't been well though. What was it? Five hours, 28 a day. Mate, mine's been creeping up actually. I try and tell myself it's work. It's not work. But my computer for some reason always tells me two hours, so I believe that one? Yeah. I don't know why, my computer goes out, it's only two hours this week.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I'm like, yeah, I'll take that. I'll forget the t screen time notification. There'll be people listening to this going, what are they talking about? I've not seen that because they've got lives daily. I think the danger is when you're self-employed and you don't really have a desk you work at, the phone you sort of lie to yourself and go like, oh it's work, I'm doing work, but you're just sort of googling Aaron Ramsdale celebration. Exactly, thi how you feel? Let's not talk about football. No. I built a flat pack yesterday, Rob.
Starting point is 00:30:49 I have part as part of parenting. Do you want to send you a picture of it? And you can't send you a picture of it? Yes, please. And you can't try and guess what it is? So Lou does all the flat pack I'm not on the instructions guy, which is weird because I do Lego. Oh, right. What is it?
Starting point is 00:31:07 So we've had a bit of an issue with my son in the last week, Rob. He's got a new hobby. Yeah. Which is dragging the chair to the sink. He's upset. He has no interest, no interest in to toys. I forget how awful this age this this age this age this age this age is this age is this is this is this is this is this is this is the the thiiiii is the toys. Forget how awful this age is for just constantly having to watch the child. So his thing is, he wants to do, yeah, 20 months, yeah, he wants to do everything that we do.
Starting point is 00:31:34 So he wants to make a cup of tea, he wants to do the washing up. It's watching blur alone, drunk. Strange. So he does all the stuff, he wants to do all the stuff in the kitchen which is fine when it's, you say to him, get the milk and he'll go to the fridge and he'll get you the milk and bring it to you.

So basically you're marked out the game if he's doing anything, because you can't do anything? Yeah, it's like a high, it's a platform, it's like a kind of platform that someone on scaffolding, where to go on, I suppose.

That's the problem, that's the problem, they can't bring these, they don't bring it so quickly. So quick, they'll bring it over so quickly. I ate half my curry, she eats half her curry, we asked for it all to get boxed up. 740 were finished, I've paid, I've had two photos with other patrons back in the car 745.m. 3 p.m.
Starting point is 00:40:48 She watched three episodes of Happy Valley, I watched some YouTube boxing in my pants in the other room. That's our life. That's a last, that's your laud. It's bleak. When did the spark go? I can't go. If you... Three episodes of Happy Valley. The bleakest of all the shows. I gave up on that first episode.
Starting point is 00:41:09 One bloat wants his kid to go private school so he starts trying to kidnap people. Don't me a favor. Fuck off. Look, I've been to Ali Facts. There's no way you're getting free series out of that. No offense. Do you know what's funny about the YouTube boxing? Basically I'm big boxing fans, there's been no boxing on for ages. So you're watching that on your phone or you watch a YouTube on your TV? On my iPad. I've got my iPad in in another room watching that.
Starting point is 00:41:33 She's got the tele, happy valley. But you're not even tempted to like put your headphones so you could be in the same room together? Nah.

She, she's in there like it's an operating theater. You could take her appendix out whilst she watched Happy Valley, there's enough light. It's awful. And anyway what was funny about this was YouTube and I'm sort of watching out of like intrigue and I'm sort of enjoying it it's not really boxing someone's like WWE it's quite good fun and I'm just sort of watching that and then I see front row Louis Thoreau Holly Willoughby what together no separately with their respective partners and more importantly teenage boys oh so YouTube a boxing is
Starting point is 00:42:24 basically a teenage boy. Because I've said this. So what is YouTube boxing? It's the YouTube's boxing? KSI is the main guy. Jake Paul in America. They weren't fighting each other. But it's all chaos.

Oh, it's mental and then she- Oh, it's so funny. So then I was just watching it and I was like, that's going to be us in a few years.
Starting point is 00:45:57 That's what I was about to ask you. At the end of that, I was going to say, because you're not willing to sit in while your children do gymnastics. So let's, yeah, that's different. Let's tie up this whole episode with that thought and this thought and go, are you going to be one of those dads, say hypothetically, we've still got celebrity clout in say 10 years. Yeah, yeah, okay. Are you going to be one of those dads that is going to all these things?
Starting point is 00:46:22 Are you're going to be going to be going to be going to be going to be to be to be going to be back to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be back to be back to be back to be back to is going to all these things? Are you going to be backstage at the equivalent of a one-direction concert? Are you going to be, you know, in the front row of YouTube boxing? Well, that probably, I can't imagine your daughter's going to be into YouTube boxing, but who knows? Who knows? I think, do you know? Do I'm very curious and intrigued by new. You're still, you're one of the most interested in relevant, in things that's still relevant of anyone I know.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Everyone else I know has given up. Everyone else I'm friends with this given up. You're the only person I know who's still, still trying to find new things and be on it. Well no, no, but I'm not, I'm not trying to be like cultural relevant or like no, I'm not trying to to to be..... But I to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, I. I. I. I. I to be to be to be to be to be, I. I. I. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that. that. that. that. that. that's. to. to. to be. to be. to be. to be, I. to be. to be, I. to be to be to be to be to be th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thean. thean. that's that's that's that's that's the. I would just mean you are interested. Like, yeah, I just, nosy. It's impossible to fake. Do you know what I mean, that kind of thing? Yeah, well, I think that's why the Robin Rommes show works. Because I'm like, oh, what is it? Even if it's something like,
