Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Winnockham. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky. So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we're chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. 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.

That's enough autumn. Yeah, that's enough autumn. This is probably never get used, but I'm so excited to show this clip of my daughter, Autumn. So your name's autumn is two and I've listened to the podcast since I was pregnant on the same day as your book signing in Blue Water. Thanks for the last, Charlie.

Oh yeah, cool she did. Right, okay, well she's after child support. Is that what's going on here, Josh? Oh yeah, thanks to that. Also, we do get all your emails and messages and we do go through all of them. We've got someone that goes from all because there. Not personally. No, because someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone someone, someone come up to me on the way to the Wembley gig, went, oh Rob, we come to the show and oh call, see an abitment. You actually emailed you a couple of weeks ago about the, um, a charity.

But she said it to me like my mom had messaged me about like a cousin's birthday. You know like something is quite important within the fan. I actually did email you, I actually did email you like, I'm going, I'm going to be honest with you, I'll never see that email. I don't even respond to my own emails, never my ones from parenting at all. But they do get read and we go through them all, so they will be read. But I can guarantee you I will not be going through every email. I just don't have the time for that. I cannot emphasize enough how many layers there are before it goes to us, the answer being one, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, the their, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, their, their, their, their, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, the, the, the, but, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they............. I, they. I, they. I, they. I, th. th. th. 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're, they they they're, they're, the answer being one. But yeah, it doesn't mean we don't appreciate them, we do. We love them. I just can't, I don't have this time to read everyone, but they do get seen and come through to us eventually. We don't have a huge amount of time at the moment, we're on tour, aren't we? How are you feeling? I am so, I think it's the most the most most most most most most most most most the most most most the most the most the most most the most the most the most the most tired. tired. tired. tired. It's tired. It's tired. I'm most tired. It's tired. I'm tired. I'm tired. I'm ti. I'm ti. I'm ti. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I. I. I. I. I'm. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a. It's a. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's t. It's t. It's t. It's t. It's t. It's t. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. It's ti. think it's the most tired I've ever been. Yeah, it's all my complaining about having kids, who knew that actually...

Going to work harder? Going to work harder? No, I'm not saying that. No, it's not. It's not harder at all. However, doing an arena show and then doing the school run the next day when you've had three hours sleep because you've had too much adrenaline is knacker in. Oh my God. And then, oh man, but I can't barely speak. Right, here we go. No, no, it isn't exhausting, like as in like going down to mine. However, when you've

traveled the country with someone and you've done five gigs this week with someone, and on that gig you talk about your kids, I feel like me and you have reached our limit. I love you Josh. I don't know if I can talk about your children anymore. This week, don't panic. The podcast will carry on. But I think it's a good reason why we did arenas and a short amount. Because if we've done an 80-day theatre tour, I think it would be the end of this podcast. It's impossible to care about your kids and my kids for that. Oh my, that, and that takes a lot of energy that.

I just didn't comprehend. Do you know what I'm doing tomorrow, Rob? I did these. I just thought, because the wheel is an easy, like a fun, easy one, right? I was like, sort of, but it's quite intense it's very Saturday night you've got to be buzzed up for it it's not yeah you've got a dancing you got a dance you spend around on a wheel next to like Gina de Campo and someone from first days normally when I do the wheel I'm like I really hope it

lands on me because you want to be in the show yeah I'm like, I hope I'm the guy that doesn't get a question. What I don't think we factored in was Josh. I was treating these arena shows like tour gigs when you do stand-up, but actually I didn't realize it because it's so many people, it's so much stress and so much pressure, and your brain's constantly wearing because it's like it's a totally new skill to learn and we're doing loads of improv and loads of like messing around with the audience and stuff it's like you can't it's not just churning out a script. Hi improv we mean improv, we mean improvise chat. We're not going on if anyone's worried about the show we don't go on and go give me a time, give me an accent, give me an object, give me an object and see. Okay, you're in Boston in the mid-80s in a kitchen but you've got no utensils, just chopsticks. What you making? No, but we like it's not a scripted show as such so it's a lot of thinking totally, I didn't I didn't

take into consideration how tyrann it is having like 15,000 people in front of you. And then the adrenaline I'm going to I've got jet laggosh I go to sleep at at at at at at at at at at at at at at the the the their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm they. I'm. I'm their. I'm. I'm. I'm. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm.

I didn't t. I didn't t. I didn't to I've got jet lag Josh I could sleep at 4 a.m. now and wake up at 7 a.m. I've had 3 hours sleep a night for the last five days. Oh my god. So you've got to do the will you've just come back from the school run I've just done I've just done just in the school run right I've just done I've just the the the the th just th just th just th just th just the th just got th just got the th just got the th just got the th just got the the to the to the to the to the the to to to to the to to to to to to to the the school to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the the the the the three. the school the school the.

I'm just to to to to to to to talk my daughter into breakfast club so that I could get the school run done because I wanted to do the school run because Rose has been doing so many bed times and also my daughter's been playing up a bit because I've been away so much. Yeah yeah because they know they're outnumbered them. She was said this morning because I'm not here because I'm doing the wheel. She was like wait till you hear what I'm doing tod to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do the to do the to do the the the the the to do the the to do the to the to the the the the the to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tooooooooooooooooooooooooes. tomooooooooes. tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow. t you hear what I'm doing tomorrow, Rob. What are you doing tomorrow? Well, I just say, she said this morning, she was like, why is daddy always working? So you're like, oh God, I need to, so I wanted to do the school run,

do this, shower, get in the car for the wheel, do the wheel, get home with my body clock absolutely effed. And then tomorrow, this was another thing I wanted to do, because I was like, I think it would be really fun and I'm interested in it as a show, but tomorrow my car is at 7.30 a.m. Rob, so I'll probably about three hours sleep. And I'm doing, I'm one of the people being painted for portrait artists of the year. So on three hours sleep, I'm going to have to sit silently for four hours, just staring into the distance. People literally watching paint dry. Well, it's a TV show now. It's on Sky Arts, Rob. It's a big deal on sky.

They're literally watching paint dry. Yeah, people love it. So you're getting paint, where's the painting going on? Where do you got to go? About it's the art center. Okay, that's early start though, isn't it? I know. I can't believe it. I want to do these things but they've all fallen wrong andto me at the moment. So you've got to do the wheel. But at least you're just sat down, that's easy. You've got to say, the thing about me, Rob, is I do span the genres. In the space of 24 hours I'm doing the wheel and portrait artist of the year. Yeah. So what position you could adopt? I would lie down. I would lie down. I'd the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd that.

Yes. I'll just lie down. I'd get a pill and lie down and go sleep. That is quite funny angles, well if you're quite funny. It's a funny, the only thing they're not getting is the eyes. Yeah, but that's where you go, I'm so, go on and go like, I'm really tired. Obviously I'm knackered, obviously do you speakings and then just go sleep. Oh my god, that sounds so good. You can't be talking as they do it. It's not like banter is it?

Yeah, you kind of talked to Mango and Joan that. I mean I'm never going to watch it, no offence. It's not for me. It's not for me. It's not for me. We love it in my house. We love it in my house.

So we finished, there was a bar full of people I didn't know. On Friday night. There was about a hundred people in a bar and I knew about four of them.

They've all been incredible. Thank you so much to everyone who's come because we've had an... One of the reasons it's been so amazing is it's just such a kind of incredible feeling to do these shows and it's been such a joy.

And the atmosphere in the room is so supportive and warm and fun. So my daughters came to the 2 show, didn't they? They watched backstage, and then I brought them out on stage for a bit. And then in the interval, Josh, I had to try and get him in a taxi with a babysitter to go home. So I'm stood in the bowels of the O2, hearing all the ro, in the background, like it's like a rocky film, you know, when they're like, the fire, the fire, the fire, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the fire, the fire, like, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, the fire, their, their, I their, I, I, I, I, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, get the, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to try, I, I, I, to to to to to to the, get to the, get to to the crowd. I'm holding two car seats waiting for a taxi that's late with the babysitter and my kids and they want to stay but it's getting late and it's too late from and Lou is watching it with her family somewhere else. I'm like they weren't going to come at tall so it was sort of like an added bonus. Now I get them in the taxi and they've never sort of been out and about away. And they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've their they've their they've their their they've they've their they've their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. thea. thea. thea' today today today today today thea. thea. thea. they've course. So it's the first time we've tried to go to the ad hoc. And anyway, I put them in the car and they were like,

my youngest is going, I don't want to go, I don't want to go, and then there was the cab driver and the she went, it's not our car. I know, it's a taxi, she went, so we're going, but with no one in our family. Oh God. And I was like, yeah, here you are. And then I went and then she went, but I want you to come and I want you to come home and I was like, I literally cannot, if any moment in my life I cannot leave to take you home. It's now. I just can't come up. Oh my God. Then I promised them a toy, swimming and pizza express the next day. So we did all of that the next morning, which was fun. But yeah, but that was quite stressful. And then so you then get home after the gig, about what, one? Go home at one? I couldn't sleep at about four again? Oh my God. So you're lying in the thehea. So, t. So, t. So, t. So, t.

Last night, Rob, I ate a full bag of dairy milk buttons before we went on. You did seem quite buzzed up. Yeah, so, well you tell me, take me through your

weekend and then. So then, so I got a bed about four, then the kids woke us up at like six, seven. Oh my word. So I'm up at six, seven. Night after playing the O2. Yeah, so then we had to drop some wall paper off at the new house, so we should be moved soon. That's, I can't even process that out loud. I just, I'm still talking to you, I just don't remember all the things I've got to do. Anyway, so, so we went there, then we went, that we ting to you and I just don't remember all the things I've got to do. Anyway, so we went there, then we took them swimming, when he's swimming with them, which was, you know, great. So they loved it, so that was nice and then we took them to, but actually we did it quite well because they, I promised them to toy shop by sort of their, I, I, I, I, I, treatreatreatreat, then we found a pizza express that was really near the swimming pool, went there. And then we went to Sange Riz to get these little two quid rabbits.

They love them. So we got them some of them. Then we went back home. And I was exhausted at this point. I had a couple of hours sleep. And I said to Lou,then she came to the O2 and obviously it's a late night. All day Saturday she kept going, blah, I'm shattered. I was like, right. And she went, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and she went, yeah, she went, yeah. I was like, you know, it's a tire and isn't it going to an arena because they're so big, you're walking

I'm tired too, Lou. But to be fair, we went, go and have a light after we did to swim in and all that, which we're going to be a lie, right? And I had a massive Romana, right? The amount of free advertising these fuckers get. Where's my blood card for Pete's drink's rest? That's what I don't know.

Where do I know? You must be so tired. Like, that's the thing. When you're, because I've been really hot on eating well on the tour, because it really tires me. And then, yesterday, that's why, th, th, I was so tired. We've been really good once, we've been eating very healthy on tour, a set time and low carb because if you have too many carbs you were going to coma. Exactly, but I went through it. I went through it. Just to keep myself going. And it was like, I felt I had a carb hangover yesterday. I'm not drinking and I had a hangover from how many carbs I had. And then last night I got home to the to to the to to to to the to to to to to the to to to to to the the to to to to the the to to the to the to their. I was to to their c. I had I had I had I had their carb. I had a their c. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was c. I was c. I was carb. I was carb. I was c. I was c. I was c. I was c. I was c. I was c.

And then last night I got home at 11 p.m. and made cheese on toast just to really feed the beast. So when I got in last I had

left over Petri Express from Saturday lunchtime that was still in the free. Oh God. And yeah so Lou went go to have a lie down upstairs. I thought oh yeah I would have a little lie down. I put a podcast on and was playing my FIFA game on the switch. And it's. I a 90-minute game, but it goes, it's about four minutes, but for 90 minutes, they speed it up obviously, I'm doing a career mode. On the 15th minute of computer time, which is about 30 seconds into the game, I fell asleep, right? It fell on my head, the classic. A device falling on my face, I know it's bedtime. So I thought, I'll just shut my eyes for a bit, it's a th. It's a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the the th. the th. th. the the th. th. the th. I's, I's, I'm a the the the the the th. I'm a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's, I'm, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the the the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. Yeah. So I thought, I'll just shut my eyes for a bit. So it's 3 p.m. Right. I woke up at 7.30. Fuck off.

I got at the 7. It is like your jet lag. Just like, you know, like it, like it, like, you know, you're drowning in a dream. Like you're like, you know, you're drowning. and the kids want to bed, but then my youngest keeps waking up. So we don't know what to do here, Josh. This is actually some actual parent in she. She basically wakes up at like two in the morning every night and coming and I had bad dreams, bad dreams and all that, and she just won't go bed until we lay with her. Especially like, we're both of us taking turns.

So I was like sleepingto her bed for about an hour and then she woke up again, then Lou got in with her. Anyway, so that's, we got to work out what to do. That sounds like something she'll just get through though, right? Yeah, true, hopefully, but we're, but then we're switching bedrooms soon. We're switching bedrooms soon, so we're switching bedrooms soon. So, we're switching bedrooms, so we didn't get much shape, then I woke up and then up again the next day at 7 AM, at 9.20 a.m. I'm in the car with Lou two children and a dog to a forest school birthday party.

So me and me and Lou were walking the dog around a forest school, and then in what was like a sitcom scene, the dog slipped out of the the the th.......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It was, was, was, was, was, th. thi. thi. the thi. the the the thi. thi. thi. the the the the tooomomombs. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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.. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, thi. I was, thi. I was, thi. I was, thi. tooomorrow. together. together, together, together, together, together, together, toooooomorrow. tooomorrow, too harness somehow, I don't know how, like some sort of prison break and run into the Forest School birthday party, jumping all over the kids. Some of the kids hate dogs, kids are crying, shouting, jumping. Oh my God. And they managed to get him back. And then we do Forest School with the kids until about one o'clock. Then I get the tube up to Wembley. Quite a chilled tube journey journey actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, it was, it was, it was, it was, the the their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, thi, thi, tho, their, their, their, tho, and then, tho, their, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, their, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, andthen I'll get the tube up to Wembley. Quite a chilled tube journey, actually. It was just a marathon and an F.A. Cup semi-final at

at Wembley Stadium, so that was quiet. Then got to the arena. And then I had a kit for an hour at the arena before the gig. But the gig Ross as well. He was incredible. Yeah, guess so far, Jonathan Ross, Alex Brooker, Jack D, Catherine, Ryan. And Tom Davis, of course, yeah, Big Tom. They've been great. But yeah, wasn't it someone like, I love all those guys, but Jonathan Ross and Jack D, because I've watched them as a kid. It feels really weird, don't it, then being on the stage. You're so exciting, you just want to just to go just to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. 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, the. Yeah, the. the. the. the. the to, to, the the to. the to. the to. to. to, to. to. to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to stories. We went to the bar afterwards with Jack Dee and you just want to go, could you tell me everything that happened to you between 1991 and 2000, please? Yes. That's what I wanted to say. I promised not to interrupt. He's so funny where he's like,

his quick turn of phrase is so fast and so brutal and so full stopped. So like, when I came in a baugh, there was a chair, where you was on, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, and I was a they. So, and I was a they. And, so, and I was a to. So, and I was, and I was, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, and I was a to. And, so, so, so, so, I was, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, I was, so, I was, so, I was, and so, I was. So, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I was, and I was a, and I was a. So, and I was a. So, and I was a. And, and I was a. And, and I was a. And, they. And, t t t t t t t t t t t toe.a.a.a.a.a.a. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. came in a bit later, I needed to get a chair, he was on like a booth, and there was one chair facing the wall on a table, and I was like, oh, should I sit over here? And then he just went, with the perfect time, I went, would you? And it was so perfect. And he didn't stumble over it. And he didn't stumble over it. And all his jokes and even just in person, he's so good. Meeting those people, not meeting, but like, yeah, well, meeting them,

you just realize why they were just at the top of the tree for so long. They're just levels, when you see, you know, you come from the circuit and you start doing a bit well and get a few bits and bobs and you see certain people. I think I've like, the bee's knees. But when you compare those people to someone like Jack Dee, he's been doing it 30 years and still loves it and loves the craft and works on it, it's just different, different level.

And he's swagger free. Swagg three. No arrogance, no ego, just, he knows he's good. He don't have to show off or prove it. I talked you through my weekend. Yeah, so what did you do after the O2? Because we did, for context, we did Wednesday Nottingham, Thursday, Cardiff, Friday, O2, one day off Wembley. So got home about one, got to sleep about two, got up, seven on Saturday, looked after the kids. I had a stag to. This is mad. What a mad thing to have to do. I didn't to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to the the the to be tooen tooen the kids. I had a stag do. This is mad. What a mad thing to have to do.

I didn't realize how tired I'd be. So this was a stag do in Coventry. So is it a one day or a three day and you're just going in for one day? Just being kind of air dropped in, like a striped day to Sunday morning, but they've got that Friday lunchtime kind of thi.

Saturday morning take my door out on her bike she's desperate to go on her bike obviously cut that too fine because you're trying to get as much parenting in as possible do you know I mean also take the pressure off Rose. She's because she's basically had them all week on her own and then you've gotten stag the and then you're off again to go. I know. It was really bad. But if it's any consolation to Rose by the Saturday morning,

I'm not stag-stag. I'm not like here we're fucking drinking. Because I'm not drinking because I'm not drinking today. So I'm basically going to Coventry to be around drunks. So I take my daughter cycling. And then I'm like, I've got to get hair. This is the only time I can fit in a hair cut before a portrait artist. So I'm booked in for a haircut at 11 a.m.

That I would say is the most relaxed bit of my week, that hair cut. Lovely. She said, do you want me to massage your head while I do the conditioner? I'm like, this is absolutely what I need all that kind of stuff I have a cup of tea little little cup of popcorn they give you it's glorious it is relaxation so it's a children's hairdressers it's not far off mate it's great I loved it would you like a little cup of popcorn at no fucking wouldn't cut my hair talk to Harry about Ibita talk to my hairdresser talk to my hairdresser Harry about Ibita I'm fucking wouldn't.

Go back, it's like darts and pools going on. One of the people is going home on the last train that evening. I start 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 th over the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thoom over thoomomombler. I'm their their all. I'm their all.

You're supposed to be staying over? Then I hear that you've got to share a bed, it's double beds shared. I'm like, I'm doing fucking Wembley Arena tomorrow. I can't soberly share a bed with a drunk the night before Wembley Arena, surely. Yeah, I mean also, I don't ever, I don't ever want to poop the fun, but I'd always rather, even if everyone else is in one place, just go and find a premier in, go on my own.

The days of me, wanking next to a sleeping man are over. I want me to be spiced. It's unfair on me and him. It's so, but I'm enjoying the stag, but then this guy's like, I'm going to get the last train and I'm like, also, I know that's that Rose that Rose that Rose that I know that Rose that I know that I know that that that that I'm that I'm that that that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that that that that that that then this guy's like, I'm going to get the last train and I'm like, also, I know that Rose is really up to her eyeballs in parenting, so I should really get at home to take the strain tomorrow because realistically I'm not getting home till mid-morning at the earliest. Yeah, and you've got a shoot off anyway after. So we get the last train, thrown, the train, nice bloke, we get to the cab that's going to drive us to the train, we get in the cab, it's like nine o'clock in the evening. When we get in the cab, I

realize he is absolutely hammered. Right, okay. And I am stone cold, sober and we've got a two and a half hour journey together to get through. So he's coming back to London, Rob. He lives right, to. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. to. to. too. too. too. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the they. the th. the the th. the they. thi. the the the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the cab. the cab. the cab. the cab. 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. tod. toda. today. today. train. train. train. train. train. train. train. train. today. t right and hear me, so we're going to end up getting a taxi together as well. So like, this is like John Candy and Steve Martin in him. Yeah, like if Steve Martin was incoherent and unable to form a sentence. So we get to the station, I can't look like, he's a nice bloke but he's a nice bloc. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. 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 he. to to to to to hee. hee. heat-in. heatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheathe.

Okay and you feel rude to just whip the book out. Yeah, yeah, he's up for a chat. He's with TV's Josh Whitakam. Yeah, well I don't think he, I don't think he knows that.

I really even went. I kind of, I have to find our train. He wouldn't have, I don't have to get on the train we have a conversation he says about how drunk he is I go I'm not drinking and he asked me why I'm not drinking and we have a five minute chat about why I'm not drinking and then about five minutes he's the told me he's desperate for the toilet he's gone 10 minutes I'll be honest he's glorious that ten minutes right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can I can can can can can can I can I can I can can't can't can't can't can't can't can't can't the the the the to to to to th th th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th he th he th he th th the th th th the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th th th the th th the th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the to the to the to to the to the to the the the thilet. He's gone 10 minutes, I'll be honest. He's glorious that 10 minutes. Right, can I, okay, so if, because you don't know this guy, he's sort of been thrown together at the stag there, if he's gone for the whole train journey and then you're pulling it London, do you just get off and say see thate thate the tilet. When he's left the stag he's taken two bottles of beer and said I'm gonna take these for the train so I've

put them in my bag because he doesn't have a bag and I go do you want your beers? Yeah and he goes yeah do you want one each and I'm like literally five minutes ago I had a conversation about how I'm not drinking. And he goes, you don't drink. I'm like, like he's never heard it before. It was unbelievable, right? So then he can't open the bottles of beer because he doesn't have a bottle opener. So I do that thing where you use one bottle of beer to open the other bottle of beer. And he basically downs that first bottle of beer. And I'm like, well, I can't open your second bottle because I've used, that's my technique. th. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, th. I th. I th. Well, th. Well, they, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. thi. thrown. throwne. throwne. throwne. th. th. the. throwne. the. the. thi. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, that's my technique. We're about 20 minutes from London by this point and I go, there's a huge group of Norwegian Liverpool fans that hammered down there, they will definitely have a bottle opener. Why don't you just go and ask them? Yeah. So he kind of goes to the Liverpool fans and he

just doesn't come back. Well he sat with him, he just sits down with them. I can't see him. It's like those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those those th th th the th th the th the th th their th th th. It's like th. It's like th. It's like th. thrain thrain thrain thranny's their thranny's thrain th. th. th. th. th. thranny's thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. I's th. I's throwne. I's train. I's trains. trains. trains. trains. trains. trains. trains. trains. trains. thra. throwne. sits down with them. I can't see him. It's like right at the other end. It's one of those trains that goes all the ways, it's open the whole way. It's not a proper train. It's one of those like a southern train style. And so I just start listening to a podcast. I'm like, this is this is bliss. And then we pull into to use the train. And the, and he, and he, and the, and he, and the, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, and the, and th. And th. It's, it's, it, it's, it's thin, it's th. It's th. It's one, it's one, it's one, it's one, it's one, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, is the, is the the the the the train. It's train. It's train. It's train. It's train, is, is they. It's they. It's they. It's one, it's one, they. It's one, it's one, it's one, it's one, is they. It's one, it's they., and people are getting off the train. And I look down the carriage and in the far distance I can see him kind of hugging and kissing on the cheek the Norwegian Liverpool fans. Yeah. And I think, fuck, yes I'm off. I'm not staying around to say goodbye to a man that didn't even remember the conversation we had. Yes, I agree. You can never see him again. I'll never see him again.. And I. And I the the the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I'm the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the carriage. And I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car th car tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha the car carriage. And I the car the car the car the man that didn't even remember the conversation we had. Yes, I agree. You'll never see him again. I'll never see him again.

So then I leave and then I get to the cab and there's a huge queue for the cabs. So I'm like stood in the key for the cabs, and I'm like, stood in the key to the cabs, I got a text from in the morning. And it was all fine. Saying, you know, thank you for your company on the train, etc. I said it but I had lovely time. It was a nice bloke. I'd say we're at different levels of inebri ocean. Yeah, when you're that pissed you will just want to drive and just chat to Wemley. You just, it's just been intense. Yeah, it's just incredibly intense.

But that's, it's nearly at an end now, Josh, we can get back to normality. Because I've survived parenting rather than done any the last week. Yeah. I've started walking out of the room. What do you mean? Like, this morning, they're all screaming and shouting and then my youngest started playing the recorder, I had stood up and walked and just sat in another room on my own. No telly on, no

phone, just sat there staring, Lou pissed herself laughing. It was just like, no, not for me. You know like when a drunk's get on a train and you just get up, yeah, I'm just gonna go the other carriage. Oh, well drunk's on a train, because I thought it'd be quicker, and I was sat on the Metropolitan Line, a fucking rugby team got on. Let me play you, what was going on? Is that a bugle? Yeah. Someone brought a fucking bugle and 30 rugby players onto the train. I was like, when will I get to relax in my life? All you wanted was a little cup of popcorn wasn't it? I just wanted a cup of fucking popcorn on my headphones and a bugle's fucking

playing. Like I thought this was a cliche. They had hoodies on with their nicknames and the words what goes on tour stays on tour. And you're like for fuck sake. Wait, anyone under 25 I let you have that. Over 25 sort your fucking life out. Back to school signals a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons. Change is in the air air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons.

Change is in the air. But one thing hasn't changed. 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.c.a.

Hi, Rob and Josh, enjoyed the show, Nottingham this week, me and my mate actually got a funny look from someone in front for laughing too enthusiastically. Warning, tooth fairy talk. Here we go.

Okay, that's a warning. That's a warning. Also, I should make it the other day we did a warning, we that, we that, we that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, tho, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me me, to me me, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, not a myth. That's one of the creepiest things anyone's ever said. My daughter now nine still believes in a tooth fairy. Yesterday she pulled out a tooth and I thought she'd forgotten at bedtime. Of course she hadn't. No cash in the house and not willing to tell her it's a lie. I scrambled around, found some straight euros in a drawer. I throved. I th. I th. I th. I th.

My thoe. My daughter to toldooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. toe. toe. thoe. to to panicked and went well maybe she just finished a shift in Spain and only had euros with her. She nodded and was like ah of course that explains it fair play. All we do is lie to kids is she ever going to trust me when she's older thank you Jenny from Huddersfield. There we go I've got a boomer story I'm submitting a boomer story on behalf of my dad when he was 11 he was 11 he wanted to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to to to to to to to the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the they.

He got a call one day from a Talent Scout, invited him into a training program, and he was over the moon. It turned out to be a random man my granddad had met in the pub.

And he asked him to call my dad thinking it would be him at chess. Assuming I would understand that that wasn't the case, I was six, so I'd no understand of nuance and assumed that I'd actually nearly killed my granddad. My dad still insists this wasn't his fault. Maisie. So then what happens here is bad parenting breeds bad parenting. Maisie, it's up to you to stop. Stop it now. Stop the chain. Stop the chain. Anyway Maisie, I hope. 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 that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I'd that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I th. I'd th. th. th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to today tha. tha. that that that th. I'd that to you to stop. Stop it now. Stop the chain. Stop the chain. Stop the chain. Anyway, Maisie, I hope you're okay. And just a note, it wasn't beating your granddad at chest that gave him the stroke. No. Do you want another boomer, Josh? Yeah. There there we go. On this. Hi, Robin Josh. In an episode of a while back, their friend postponing their kid's birthday till they were free due to work shift patterns it reminded me of a boomer parent history courtesy of my dad Johnny his parents are huge Bon Jovi fans I

think his parents pretty much went to every tour he did in the UK for a long time so each year when tickets were released they'd rushed to get a hand on some and plan everything around it later along come Johnny's fourth birthday and his the they've screwed up. Tickets had already been purchased. It's the same day in London. We live in the Midlands. Okay. Now as I said they are fanatical totally. So they decide to postpone Johnny's birthday because he won't know the difference. Oh! And pretend it's a following day instead they still went to see Bon Jovi. At four I think you can still the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th to th th to th to to to th th to th th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to their their their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the same the same the same their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. thi. thi. thi. thi. today today today today today today today today today today the same same same same day. the same. they still went to see Bon Jovi. At four, I think you can still nearly get away with that. Yeah, I think that's fair.

I think the fact it's such a Naf band makes it wrong. But apart from that, I mean, come on. But I've got a similar thing, not a similar thing, but I'm doing the double up of my daughter's school's summer fate and blur at thbley on the same day in July. But are you going to both? I'm going to both. But your heart's not really in the fate. I don't think the fate matters mate. You don't have to do it. You don't have to go to the fate. It'll be nice to go to it. It's not like she's doing a, three weeks away. Oh, you're nearly two years away from enjoying a holiday.

Well done. Lovely, lovely little moment in time. Two years away from going on a holiday, you might enjoy. Thank you. My question is, do we fucking bother? What, two-year-old birthday? Um, the way I look at it, you've got to do some ink in the day to keep him busy.

Rose would go party. What would you do? Yeah, cutting a lie down. I think the party, he's the one that's going to be least interested in it. True. Has he got any little mates from it? nursery. But not really. There's some there but you know yeah I don't think two-year-olds really have mates. I think you can go out for a little bit of lunch or take him somewhere he likes something he likes to do another bit of cake. Yeah fine. You want a photo and sing it to him don't you. Anyway so Johnny

spent the day being babysat by the neighbors who are fully aware of the ploy Johnny's mom joke that she'd he'll the neighbor he he he he he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's the neighbor heeded heed heed heed heed heed heed heed heed. He's heed. He's he's he's he's he's he's heed. He's heed. He's heed. He's heed. He's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he he's he he he he's he he he he he he he he he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he he's he he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's to to to to to to to took. He's to took. He's to tot. He's tot. He's tot. He's tot. He's tot. He's totally to to his fourth birthday okay so they've missed the birthday but they bought him a bike for the next day so along came Johnny's 18th birthday and the family got a phone call from his old neighbor who had since retired and moved to Dorset as it was his 18th he presumed she was calling him to wish him well in fact she had held on to the secret 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 their I I I was I was I was I was to the their I'm 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 their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. the the the the secret for 14 years and was desperate to get it out. What? She insisted his mom tell him straight away. 18-year-old Johnny was absolutely appalled, disgusted and suddenly recalled a lot of hype around the bike. So the name ran out. Aife around the bike.

Johnny still gets on the dance roll for Bon Jovi anyway so it kind of been, he kind of scared him. Steph bunton. I don't think I'd be that appalled as an 18 year old. I'm not only going to touch the sides really. Um, shall we do thingy, Rob? Let's do a small business. Yeah, shall we do it? Should we just fucking do it? Yeah, because I'm absolutely out of gas. Yeah.

I'm so tired. Right. But look, I've got one here. out to Professor Balance. The most amazing human who managed to teach my five-year-old how to ride his bike in an hour goes to a variety of locations in Scotland and can be found in Facebook.

Small business shout out. Hi, Rob and Josh. I would like to shout out my sister's small business based in Pembrookshire. I used to go on family holidays to UK. This is, look, I love Wales, right? The only problem with Wales is, when you go to these pictures, I think in the corner it should show you what the temperature was when it was taken.

Because that is beautiful. You need, I want wind speed and temperature before a holiday. That's what they need to do because I've been there and it is windy and it. The beaches it is windy it is windy is windy is windy is windy is windy it is windy it is windy the beaches are amazing just hasn't got the climate has it? I strongly disagree. You think Wales has got the climate for a summer holiday? I do yeah. Fuck off. I love Wales. It's beautiful. It is not Greece in the summer is it? No. They know that. Amazing surfing. It's beautiful. Rob. It's nothing like the sound of the rain on the tent is there. I hate camping. So do I actually.

It's really hard walking down and you get to a beach, the car parks about a mile away, you carry the stuff, you get there, the kid gets sand and you're always think, fuck this. Let me go to a soul. Hi, Rob and Josh. So small business. Pembrokeshire called the Cheezy Cow. It's a cafe that sells grazing boxes, baguettes and every Sunday Yorkshire pudding wraps, which are incredible. She started the business from her flat during lockdown selling grazing boxes while everyone was stuck at home and now has a cafe based on Milford Marina.

She also catered for weddings and events with amazing graze tables. Check out to her Instagram at the Cheasy Cow underscore. Thanks for making us laugh every week. Rosie. Lovely stuff. We promise to have more energy next week. We are struggling, but we're back full mask next week, will me Josh. Rob, I think it's been an absolute classic. We're both in a bad way people love that. Well I well we recorded for 56 minutes. This is always a fun game for the listener. See how much shit Michael had to cut out. Yeah Rob we've got to do the intro to Friday's episode after this. Shall we just do the world's shortest intro for it? Just do it now. Listen on Friday for an incredible guest and I reckon they'll be speaking within 30 seconds. Look, because they're so incredible, we're just going to get them straight on.

Get them straight on. Get them straight on. Get them straight on. And if you listen, if you hear this one, you'll know why we're getting them straight on, but we'll style that one. If we'll just listen to the hat as, we're getting them straight on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
