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.

I didn't bring this up. I once, the only encounter I had before with Peter André was when me and Alex Brookeer did the million pound drop. I was very new in TV, it was just after the first Paralympics.

And then when they bring him up at the bottom of his screen it just says Peter Andre in Sussex and you're like, fuck, they've built up this satellite link up. He's an hour away in Sussex.

I don't. regular watcher, but I feel like I would have known that. Yeah, it feels like you should know that.

Yeah, I don't. Well, there is a, I've got a two to three year period in my life where all I did was the gig and I didn't have a telly. I've got that for so much, like for football, I'm really bad for those first few years when I was a stand-up comedian. I don't know, and music, I just don't know what was going on. No, not the same, any sort of pop culture stuff, I've got absolutely nothing in the... Yeah, but I think you're right. Yeah, Kerris, and yeah, I've completely blocked out out, but you're right, you're correct on that. But I've got a pop culture black hole where all I was doing was like I had no money and I know telly and I'll just be out at gigs all the time and then getting drunk after quite tragically.

But yeah, I think it was correct. I've got, in reverse, I've got a incredibly detailed knowledge of minor news stories from around 2013 to 2017 because I was doing panel shows almost every week about the news. Oh, Eric Pickles is burning into my head. Yeah, fucking out, yeah. Is he still going Eric Pickles? But Eric Pickles, basically, it was when we first started with what the week, and everyone would just do like a weight joke about Eric Pickles.

Yeah, it was like, what a mad thing to do? He's a big fella. And I'd be like, are we're still still still still still still still still still still still th. 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, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th. Is, th.

It's, er. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's, th. E. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. E. E. th. mad thing to do, because he's just a bit of, he's a big fella. And then I'd be like, are you still doing Eric Pickles jokes? Every week, Eric Pickles jokes, horse lasagna. Horse meat and Eric pickles. And Wayne Rooney being compared to Shrek happened a lot of the week. Oh my word, yeah. What a life we'll lead. Before we bring you Peter And let's have a quick bit of correspondence, we've not th, th? There's a lot of people talking about my Scrabble skills. Oh yeah. Regarding a recent episode where Rob talks about being really good at Scrabble and always beating Lou, who is a teacher with a master's degree, I'll have you know.

My sister is dyslexic and is great at Scrabble with things because her brain is looking at letters in a far less linear way the nosethose are bus with dyslexic tendency. Thanks Catherine, that's why. That is interesting. I knew the old dyslizia would come in hand at some point. There you go. I told about that when I read it for the first time dyslexia. You called it dyslexia. Yeah. It was a dyslexia tutia. Yeah. It was an advert. You remember before the internet people was a dis disininininininininin. It was a there. It was a there. It was a the the the there.

I don't think as well this was a bit of observation that never worked was a dolphin-friendly tuna yeah right and I felt like you can't just be bothered about dolphins if you're eating fish.

Like, how about tuna-friendly, Julie? He's like, you're either eating fish or you're not, like, well, just because they smile a bit, you can't eat a fucking dolphin. Yeah, I think that is funny. I think that it's funny. Yeah, never really were. I'll bring about about, don't you worry. Oh, lies. I'll tol' I th. I th. I'll bring about. I'll bring about it their about it their about it th.

We were 17 at a time. Safe to say that, that terrified me for years. Do you know what?

At 17, that would, because if someone t. Yeah, he's into some... He's into some stuff he is. We've got so many lies told at school by our kids. Here's another one from Mandy. Okay. Who says, keep it sexy guys. There was a boy in my year at primary school who told everyone his dad was Night Rider. Oh yeah, we had a kid who claimed his dad to James Bond watch. Fuck off. He was so convinced of this. He kept it going for a while until we saw him being picked up from school by his dad, who was actually a BSM driving instructor with no kick car in sight, but rather a very uncalled, dual pedal control, Nissan Micro. Oh, so what he's done is he's gone like, oh, you're like Night Rider because he's got special pedals and it's just a Nissan Micro is teach people to draw. There's one kid at my

school and the rumor was that his dad ran Panasonic, like the whole company. The proof was that if you went into Panasonic in Exeter the kids dad would be in there. Right. The head of Panasonic isn't working in the local Panasonic in Exit. No he's at Pinsant's. He knows what a flagship stories, mate. Right let's get Peter And we the the the the the the the the the the the the there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's there's th. there's th. th.'s a Pinsance. He knows what a flagship stories, mate. Right, let's get Peter Andro and we've babbered on for ages. Sorry, here's Peter Andro. Yeah, it's funny because sometimes when we go places to say overseas and you walk into a nightclub. theyclub. I don't really go to clubs anymore, but when you walk into somewhere a bar or whatever and they play the song and people in other countries they have no idea who's sung it, they just know the song. And I'll be sitting there

moving along with it, dying inside. They're sitting next to me and they have no idea and it's quite funny. We will get on to the parenting. That video theious Girl, when did you get that ripped? Like how did that work? This is true story, right? I was picked on a lot as a kid because where I moved to in Australia it wasn't very multicultural. So we moved to this little place called the Gold Coast near Brisbane. And at the time it was all beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed Ozzie's and here we were this Greek family with curly hair and big noses and English and English accents and English accents and English accents and their, and English accents and their, and English accents and their, and th, and th, th, and th, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, 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, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, that that that that that that that that that thea, theauui, theauiii, thea, thea, thea, the, th accents and they weren't too keen on us and so we got picked on a lot and so what I used to do was these kids at school asked me what sport I liked and I said football because I'd just come from England some and I said I support football and they asked me what American football and I said no football you know and I was doing this and they

went what soccer and I went yeah and they started laughing and this, and they went, what, soccer? And I went, yeah, and they started laughing, and this kid just cracked me, wanted a place, Oh, no. Yes, listen here, we don't do girls sports here, and that's a girls sport, and I thought, that's a really odd thing. Incidentally, soccer back then, the soccer ruse, which were smashing it here I was like, yeah we remember the stocker roofs from back in the day who were heroes. But anyway, because I couldn't belong to their sports because they were all playing cricket and rugby.

They're all massive, especially Gold Coast, it's quite half a amount. I know. You're fucking softcock? They call you softcock. They're fucking soft cock. Yeah absolutely. When I'm a celebrity I'm a the celebrity. I'm a the the the the the the the the their. I'm a their soft. I'm a their soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. So soft. So soft. their soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft cock. They're they're they're so soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft soft. I'm so so so so. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm a soft. I'm a soft. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a s. I'm a 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 they're they're they are from, and they were like, right, I've got an idea, I'm gonna fucking kidnap, Joe Swash, take him out into the fucking bush, and fucking tape him up. And I went, mate, he's the presenter on the show, you can't, you're the cameraman, you can't nick the pre-k. He's just having to fucking laugh. And they've got massive hands. All Australian bloats got massive strong hands because all their sports are hands. So they were being a bit mean to you and then you've got in shape, did you?

Yeah. So I thought, well, I can't really hang out with them because the ones that don't like me are playing all the sports that I can't be part of. So most used to go So I just sit there and I'll do abs. We're now not halfway with them lots to finish. And I would just sit, literally do sit-ups, push-ups, push-ups. Well by the time I was 16 I'm like, geez, she's all right. That's how it happened. Really. Because it was also, it was in a time before abs. Do you know what I mean? It was like, what was it, 93 or whatever year it would have been. In Love Island now, lots of people looked like that. No one had those abs in those days. You invented the ab.

My dad thought it was plastic surgery. Did he? He thought that's not real. I've been asked to this day by a chest implac. And I thought, you know what? I wish they. Tell me about it. Because then years later, everyone else is looking ripped on these showers and I'm like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just, yeah, no. We have to do with that with Joel Dommet. He's still ripped. Yeah. He is ripped. But one day, he won't be. Let's talk you dad who was, his mum and dad, well his mom, obviously, same dad was pregnant 17 times. Wow! 17 times. And I think only 13 survived at the end. Twelve ended up surviving. So Dad's one of 12 eventually.

Blamey. Then I'm one of sticks, though now anything under double digits, we're thinking, oh, we're not, we're not succeeding. How many kids have got on what are their ages? So we've got juniors, he'll be 18 in June. Can you believe it? Princess is 15, do you like how I'm taking ages to figure it out because I forgot their ages? Yeah. Yeah. And obviously, the they they they is, they is, they is, they is, tha, thi is, thi is, thi is, thi is, thi is, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, we're thi. We're thi. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We's, we're th. We's, we're th. We's, we're th. We's, we're th. We's, we're th. We're th. We're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're th. We're th. We're th. We're thin. thin. thin. th. the thin. thin. th. to thin. th. thin. th. the thi. We nappies in the last 20 years, so I'm a dadpad. Yeah. Yeah.

And obviously in previous relationships there's been stepchildren and stuff like that. So for the last 20 years of ass-wiping, you've to rule in your life. I just want Theo to get from the point where he could just wipe his own bumm. Then it's out, you're done. I'm like, come on, please. That's 20 years of ass-wiping you've done nearly. I've been called an ass-wip, but to be doing it constantly, I understand why now. But it's difficult having to know. The 18 and 15-year-old and a boy and a boy and a girl

are presenting way more different problems than a kid. You know, obviously, sometimes, teenage daughter you'd much rather her still be four and you're having to wipe her bum and put her to bed at six rather than her going out doing what she's doing so how are you managing that having the little kids and then teenage problems? No I'm gonna be honest with you I'd rather be a teenager than me was whatever rules you have for junior you can have to have the same rules for princess. You can't do the old school mentality because I was old school. I grew up in a generation where our parents they let the boys do everything but you know

the girls and I feel bad because my sister she went through so many years where she wasn't allowed to do things that us boys were allowed. Yeah and it took me to have kids and for them to start growing up for me to go yeah I don't agree with that. Yeah they have to be equal so I used to joke whatever rules I set for junior at 15, I had to set for her at 15, and now she's 15, and I'm going, oh my gosh, and I'm starting to get scared, but I think we're handling it okay.

You never know if you're doing the right thing, you just hope for the best. You just hope for the best. This episode is brought to you by Nespresso. Elevate your morning coffee ritual.

I don't. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the. thea. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thea. the. the th. th. I'm in the middle of a coffee, and then I come back and I'm like, I don't want to eat it anymore. Were you good at the nappies? I was very hands-on because, again, thinking back to my parents' generation, my mom did all of that.

Really? Yes, it was very much like, I love you my son. But you keep your ass wiping to yourself. I thought nah, I think times changed. Yeah, of course. I like being a hands-on dad, I just didn't think it was going to be that hands-on. I can't imagine you as a disciplinarian because you're such a nice bloke. I wouldn't say soft, that's the wrong word, but you're not like an alpha male, despite the abs, you know, so I can't imagine you being too disciplinariany. It's really weird because again going back generations, you know, where we used to get good walloping at school from the headmasters, you know, with the canes and all that.

Really? Oh yeah. How old are you? You like 93 but look unbelievable. I'll never forget this. I got the cane at six years old at school at old at school. It was the stick and it was right across there. It was the worst pain. I got it at high school in Australia. And also in England, when I was six, I got, they called it the Plimsoll pudding.

You remember Plim Sol's right? Yeah, yeah. Like you almost went down. No, no, but just not for dessert. Not the Feaste, the the Plymast. 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. th. th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I. I, th. I. I. th. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. th. thi. the. thi. the. the. th. the one underneath it. He used to get the plimsol and he used to smack him with, we used to get the plimsoil pudding if we were misbehaving. Oh my word. And that was one under the cave. So where would he hit you with the flimsol.

So, you get some plim sols. Oh, you get a crack, the t. tha. tha. tha. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. the. the. the. th. the. th. th. the. th. th. th. th. th. We. We. We. We. We. We. We the. We th. We. We. We. We used. We used. We used. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We the. We the. We used. We used. We used. We used. We used. We used... t. t. t.. t. t. t.. t. the. the. the. We used. We used. We used. We used. We used. We used... Yeah. And so we called it the plim salt pudding. And when I had kids, I thought, Should I get some plim salts? I thought, should I buy some plim salts? Now? I thought, if I give them look that my dad used to give me, because dad used to give me a look, right? Yeah. And I thought, if I give them that look, is that going to stop them doing it? Or was it the smack 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 that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that to to to thathea? thathea? to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. I thii. I thi. I thi. I was thin is thin is thin is thin. them? the them. them. the the them som. the them somemea? I them somea. them somea. thin them. I was them sem s. I was thin to th smack that used to stop me doing it? Yeah. And I realized, my kids, because I've never raised my hands to them ever, I realized that that look, and then feeling like they disappoint you sometimes is a worse feeling. Yeah. Because I remember if I disappointed that, the feeling I would have of disappointing him, even now and I'm 50, and I still feel like I don't want to disappoint it. So I disciplined them without ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having having the the the the the the him. Though I found a way to navigate around it, so I disciplined them without ever having to raise my hand to them.

Can we see the look? The look? Oh, do you know what it is? It's because you're so smiling and like a likeable night. As soon as you stop smiling it, it does get quite stressful. It's got to be a bit of a De Niro like. Yeah I started panicking. It instantly felt like the interview was going badly Rob. It instantly felt like we ever step the market. And he smiled again and I felt so relieved. Thank God for that. It was like, yeah, all right, we'll mention the book, Peter. We'll mention the book, okay? I'll do anything but I'm not wiping your ass. So with the little kids, they're obviously like getting into school and stuff and stuff the school and stuff and stuff and stuff their their their their their their. So, their. So, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to get, to get, to get, to get, to get, to get to get to get to get their, to get into to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their s small, their, their si. And, their s smiled, their, they. And, they. And, they. And, their, and their smi. activities with the older ones? Because at an 18 and a 15 year old don't want to be a soft play.

Do you try and do separate stuff with them? Because it's hard to keep them all happy at those ages. that is such a good point because you always see it around the 15 age where they start to not want to come to everything. Yeah. So junior at 15 he started being like, dad, if I go see my friend or do you mind if I, and I'm thinking I knew it was coming to that stage. And now Princess is 15 and just the very first time in the last few months, there's a couple of family things we've done

and she said, is it okay if I don't go. So I get it, I get it, because I was the same around that time, so that's tricky. But if we all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all go all then, we always go together. Oh, that's nice. How big's Christmas then? If you've got all the kids at yours for Christmas, is that all brothers and cousins and because you're from a massive family. Are they all in the UK?

Are they still Australia, Greece all spread? Yeah, so mom and dad are in Australia. to hear the weirdest story? We grew up as Jehovah's Witnesses, so even though I'm not a witness... Did you? Yeah. I didn't know that. Mom and Dad have devout witnesses so they don't celebrate Christmas. Oh, wow. We never celebrated Christmas until I had kids. No way! I never celebrated it. Wow!

18, 19 years ago is the first time I ever celebrated Christmas. And what was that like that first time you celebrated you you you you you you you their you their their their their their their thi thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi Christmas thi. Oh, after how much I spend every Christmas, I'm like my dad was right. Were they a little bit put out that you didn't carry on being a witness? Yeah, of course, of course. And you know what, it's a really tough thing because I love what I learned and I respect everything I learned. And I'm not one of these people that leaves a faith and then talks against it because, toto be honest when I was bullied as a kid, the witnesses, they took us in, they were loving. They didn't care what nationality you were. It was just the same faith, I guess many faiths are similar in that way.

So I've got nothing but love for it but you know you get to 16 and there's things you're not allowed to do Jehovah's Witness if you're fat and ugly, if you've ripped like you. It's impossible. Peter Andra at 17, not allowed to kiss a girl, leave it out, look at him. Oh, man. And then you just sort of rebel because you're just kind of doing, you know, you're not how to. Yeah, of course. I used to get on a plane when I was coming to England.

I used to get on a plane on Christmas Day and to fly back to Oz because it was the quietest flight. Yeah, of course. And so I used to always fly on Christmas Day so I never celebrated it and then had kids and I was like, but here's the thing right. Yeah. When Junior wants a pair of trainers that are more to to to to to to to to to their to to their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I to to to to to to to the. 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to c. C. C. C. C. I. I. I. I. I their their their their their their their their the. I was their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. their the. the. C. C. I c. When Junior wants a pair of trainers that are more than what you would buy, 500 presents for million, Theo. The traders are the same price. It's like, you end up buying your older kids one main present and your younger kids like 30 or 40. So I say to them, look guys, wouldn't you rather have 10 or 15 small presents or one big one? What do you think they go for? One big one, cash. Yeah, cash, yeah exactly. Have you ever tried to sneak your parents over for Christmas without telling them, I'm like going, hey, what what you doing on the full Saturday in December? Might have a bit of dinner.

You don't mind to say that to mom and she says, when on this day when Jesus Christ was, I said, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, what, th, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, thi, what, what, what, what do, what do, what do th, what do th, what do th, what do they they th, what do they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they, what, what do, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and what do, thi, and what do, thi, and thi, thi. And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi mind her. I say that to mom and she says, when on this day when Jesus Christ was, I said, all right, mom, okay I get it. She knows her days mate. Yeah, that's fair to that. Don't mess with mom. So did you have to go door to door when you were a kid? Yeah, I sure did. And actually when I was about 15, there was a girl I'd really liked and I was like we would see each other and I was thinking I can't you're not allowed to sell on the fence I remember I was getting to a point of thinking I you know maybe I need to go my own way and then someone said yeah but you're a Michael Jackson fan I'm like yeah of course like he was my idol back in those days and they said well

he's a witness because apparently all his family were witnesses and they were like Prince you know Prince I don't know if you know this but Prince was a witness too and so you would think well if they're doing it I'll do it yeah but then a year or so later it just yeah so the famous witnesses Michael Jackson and Prince George Benson is an elder remember George Benson yeah remember Gimme the night there's quite a few you know I mean 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. 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 Yeah, remember Gimme the Night? There's quite a few, you know, I mean, a lot of actors as well. The thing is, though, when you're brought up in a faith, you do tend to be defensive of it. Yeah, yeah, later on in life, even when you're not part of it, because you know a lot of what you learned was actually for your own good. Have you brought your kids up in any kind of... So I started to, when when when when when when when when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, their, to, to, to, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi, to to to to to to to, to, thi, thi, thi, thi, 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. I was, is, is, is thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a thi, is a to, is a to, is junior and princes were really small, I used to take them to the

Kingdom Hall, especially for the memorial, which was once a year. But then I again had that moment as they started to get older and went, I've got to let them decide what they want to do. Because when you bring someone up, whaver you bring someone up, it's instilled in them. Then there's a sense like with us a real guilt when you're not part of it anymore. And I want them to be at an age where they go, yeah, this is what I want, this is, you know, I'm not sure if that's what I want to do. So, so I've left it for that reason. Is there anything you still take from it, you thakere a thickickickick, you th, you th, you th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.. And, there any little like events, Jehovah Witnessed events or celebrations that are anything that you still do and have a little party for? Once a year, the memorial, which is like around Easter time, every year.

And I do a lot because mom's like, are you going to the memorial, she knows, she doesn't even know the day, she knows the minutes, she knows the times times times times times times times times t knows the minutes. She knows the times, even in England, what time it's on. Really? Oh, she knows, and she's 86. I'm like, okay, mom, yes, I'm doing it, mom. I'll be there, don't worry. And so they look on zoom and they can see who's on it, even if they don't a fascinating background. And it's so nice to hear someone, you know, even though you're not involved in it, to talk so positively about something like that,

I think it's a really great thing. Yeah, the door to door witnessing was always a tough one though, because when we were kids, we were told, you know, you've got to go door to door and preach the good good good the good good good good good good Bible was written, door to door, mate, everyone just lived in tiny vinages. They knew about everybody. There was about 15 people in a village.

It's like, I'm going to go and preach to my cousin, John. Papa John, let's have a drink, look, but you know, as time's gone on and we were going and actually knocking on people's doors that we did th..... a scary thing. That must have been tough. How often did it go well? Not often. Yeah. Not often, but because you've got to preach it, we did, but I still understand that it was a great feeling when someone, because there would be the odd person, you know, that old saying, the old saying of like, if I could just help one person. Yeah. And there would be times when people would be life changing for for them because they were searching for something and then you just turned up. Yeah. I always used to wonder what they did when Michael Jackson knocked on the door. He used to go witness it. Do you know? I didn't know? He used to go in his car. He used to go in his car because his

brother told me his brother Tito he said that that Adol would walk door and Michael would be in a car. the the the the their. their. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He. He.

If it was positive, he would talk. If it wasn't, he'd get back in the car and get into the next. Just kind of moonwalk away. That's how he developed the moonwalk. You're just creeping away from the house. That's quite good actually, I love it. What does Possible to sound to power your scale with no preset spending limit.

What an absolute gear change that is, eh? That was like the one show, wasn't it? That was unbelievable! Jehovah's Witnesses to Super Space Kid Save Planet Drizzle Bottom, which after hearing about your kid needing their bum wiped really takes on a new meaning. Absolutely, absolutely. Absolutely covered everything in this show. There's something for everyone. Something for everyone. Oh gosh. Well first of all they placed it, the last they could place it really nicely here. Yeah, show us it, get it in front of the camera. Here we go. So this is a kid's picture book for ages 3 plus.

And it's based on the stories you make up stories at bedtime with the kids. Is that correct? Yeah. It's called why won't You White Your Own Ass, isn't it? Exactly, it's just written Greek, but basically, yes, it means exactly that. And so you came up with these stories at bedtime, right? Yeah, so it goes back to the childhood again because, and I know it sounds weird, but I didn't really read books. Like the only books I had anything to do with was the Bible or anything, thia, thia, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the Bible, thi, the Bible, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to thi. to to to to to thi. to thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, Yeah, all the kind of Bible story books. And Drisle Bottom was one of Jesus' nicknames, quite famously. I thought when I got to reading for the kids, you know, you have to do it as a dad,

yeah. I couldn't concentrate when I was reading it. Yeah. I'd start going off on a tangent. And I've always been fascinated by sci-fi. I'm back to the future is one of my favorite, the trilogy is one of my favorites and also close encounters, one of the best. Right? I started talking about space travel and you know life on other planets and all that sort of stuff and as time went on I just put the books down. I just started creating these stories with them and every night we'd go to a different planner and they'd solved these problems and so I they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd th. thed thed thed thed thed thed thi. I'd the. I'm thoed thoed. I'm started thed. I'd thed. I'd the. I'd the. I'd the. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I th. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed. I'd thed thed. I'd thed thed thed to to to to to to thea to to to to to toed to to toda. I started to to today the today today the. I've they'd solved these problems and so I just went to Scholastic and said, look I've got this idea for a book and they were like, we love it. And they said actually we'd love a series of this subject. So they

said to me, can you please give us 800 words, put 800 words by September? this was July. They said if you can give us 800 words by September. That afternoon I sent them nearly 4,000 words, right? I've just written it, haven't you? I've just written the whole thing. Sent it to them and they were like, okay, we've got to cut it down, but we love this idea. A bit keen Peter, but yeah, you know. Yeah, exactly what they thought.

Yeah. Well, I suppose you've written the books already making the stories up in front of your kids. Yeah. You actually just get him down on paper. They're like Noel Gallag of his first two albums, isn't it? Yeah, he'd already written them. Absolutely, yeah. And that's the thing. When it comes from you, it's just, you think, well, if my kids love it, hopefully, if their kids will love it, and that's, and they's, and they's, and they's, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, their, too, too, too, to be, to be, to be, to be, to be, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, their, their, their, their, they must be really excited, because obviously these are the stories that you've told them and now they physically exist.

I know they're now a bit old maybe for them, but what have they made of these books? They love it, but they can't understand the concept that it's a book that other people are gonna read. They think that we made do a photo album, do them up. That's what they think I've done. But they're like, I'll thank you for my present. And I'm like, no, I'm going to give this to you, the headmaster. Why, why are you giving my book to the headmaster? Because their names are in it.

It's about their names. Good buy it. Have you gone into schools and stuff? Have you done that yet? No, not yet. Not yet. I only got released today. It's one of those things. I don't even know if it's going to do anything. I don't even know if it's going to sell anything. But I'm just glad I'm just glad I'm doing it. But I know with tho' thinn't th the things to our kid school. Let you write Lou would love it. Look, first gig was you at Croydon, my wife. No way. Obsessed of you Peter, it's actually upsend. No wait. When are you talking about

how many years ago? Oh, like she's 37 now I think she's probably about 15 it would have the first tour. It would have been your first tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour tour. tour. tour. to to to tour. to tour. tour. to to be to to to be to to to to to to to to to be to the first to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to the first the first the first the first their their their their their their their their their tru true true true true true true their true their true. true their true. true. throoooooo. to to to to the. was there. I've only ever done that one. So I know that night and I it was the first time ever I had my trousers ripped off ripped off. Rob's got the on the wall in the setting room, Luke at them. I knew. I knew it was that I was just joking. But I remember that night so well because I'd never been so crazy because I'd come from Australia and I was unknown. We were just starting and I remember doing Fairfield Tour and I referred to it all the time now. It's an iconic gig about that particular night. If she's got a photo I'd love to see that. Oh dear I don't know. A lot of me naked. How did you end up having your trousers ripped off were you going into the crowd? She's very strong, then she? Mate, she's got some power. They didn't completely come up, but they were completely ripped.

I'll never forget it, and I was holding onto him like this. Amazing. It was a mad night. But the abs were out. Yeah. But yeah, she speaks fondly that night in Croydard. She took her dad with her. To be honest, mate, she speaks to me take your kids to gigs and stuff like that because she was too young to go on her own so her dad went with her like to your gig and Croydon. Have you been dragged along to stuff like mad drum and bass gigs or this new boy band

or k-pop and you're stood there going, what is this? Yeah, I remember once because my kids like, they like certain people so I sometimes go and take them to see those groups or that bad. Yeah. And it is interesting seeing it from the other side but then then they get very quickly they grow out of that stage where they don't want their parent to go with it. Yeah of course. They want someone to take them. It's only a short period of time and it's weird because they they don't want the parents the parents the parents their their their their p their p their p their p their p p their p p their p p p p p p p. their p. their p. their their their their their their their their their p.

Unreal cook, but he will say I want to go to Millie's house, because her dad's a really good cook, and should learn, you should take from him and I'm thinking, I can't even cook anywhere near like he does, but what I'm saying is this whole thing of the kids always, their mate's parents are always better.

And I said, so basically, I'm going to make a full of a full their their that mean tiny tubbies get to come to my house? He goes, yeah, we're gonna need to film in your house with the, amazing. You're gonna need to be having a meeting and saying, right, you need to get up there and you need to give it your best.

We've got to get up there and we've got to fight against cold playing and all that. And mate, having them round and my kid's faces, the little ones. Oh wow. Oh really? Oh, Theo said to me the other day, he sticks, he goes, you know when the telly zombies go over, I said, he goes, one of them had really hairy hands. Because it was all mesh. Yeah. .

. see through it it was a really hairy harness but look any tubbies are hairy on the inside they're not really hairy on the outside but I'm thinking how I'm gonna explain this I was brilliant but yeah they that I did that for them and it was brilliant and the album flogged. Oh did it? Oh did it? thin? So win some? Yeah it was worth it though it was worth it for having the tell tubbies the that's why you know you've had such a long career and so popular as you don't take yourself too serious. No you can't. If the kids get to experience the Teletubbers be your own dress, it's a funny story, isn't it?

Absolutely. You can't make, you know, because I think, theyrowne, I say it's, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, that and I think you know when you get older and your kids get older and they humble you really quickly Because they tell you what's real and you kind of look back and go yeah, you know As I'm glad now I don't take no I don't not at all because no one cares. That's the thing no one cares? Do they like mysterious girl your kids? Um, yeah, they do? Have they seen the video? I don't 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 their their their that's they're they're their they're they're their 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're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their try. today. try. they're their they're their they're they're like. they're they're like. they're like. they're they're they're they're they do. Have they seen the video? I don't think my youngest two have, no. No. Well no I think the question on all their lips would be the same as everyone's. Why were you wearing jeans in the stea? Not a man. It's like I don't want to have that conversation with them just yet. But I suppose when you're your boys get a bit like cocky and stuff and they're going to the gym a bit, you can go, have a look at that. That's going to the gym. Come on. What was going on with your hair?

How much product in your hair in that video? It was disgraceful. It was disgraceful. So you know what I used to do? I used to use this can of silhouette. Do you know silhouette? used to call it the black death because it was a black bottle it was so strong and in the 80s and 90s when we used to go out and have long curly hair. Yeah. I used to spray half a bottle of this going out one night. It was like a rock. You could balance you made on it, right? So I used to do that even in the mysterious gold days because my hair was curly and I had to straighten it, for that to sit there, I had to use this lacquer, right? Right. The problem was with it, and so much product, but the problem was when you'd have a cup of tea, you had to move it. Because if you didn't, it would dip into the tea and your tea

would just get this little film of just lacquer on it, right? True. True, true. About your younger kids, after you're 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. their their their their their their thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the problem was was was was was was was was was their their their their the problem. The problem. The problem. The problem. their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. the. the. too. too. tooe. tooe. tooe. toda. tooe. tooe. tooe. tooe. too. It's problem. It's is. It's is. It's you put their faces out there, you're youngest too, you're a bit more reserved with their image online and stuff. I have to be honest, that's an Emily thing, yeah, I've got to respect it for that because she was, I would have just done it naturally. It's hard not to, yeah. Yeah, you get excited and you want to show them, you know. Because obviously with your older two, you had thir, you, you, you, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, 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's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. that's an. th. th. th. that's an th. th. that's an th. th. that's an their, their, their, their, their, th. th. that's an that's an that's an that's an that's an for that really. And then since then there's been like Taui, and then you see like the Fern McCann have got a show with their kids and Billions and Sam Fares and not just on TV, but like online and Instagram stuff. And so I feel like, you know, we share our private lives. It's a reality show but a podcast for me and Josh really about our kids, involved in there's like mommy influences, dad influences and as someone who was there sort of at the beginning is anything you sort of like learn from

that you reflect on because you know you're the first people to do it not knowing what would go on to happen with it all. The repercussions of the two, you're right because the thing is it's been really good having to have done it and two that haven't because the two that have done it are kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind't take anything seriously and I say guys don't read comments. And I say whatever you put online, remember people are going to see it and they're going to comment on it. So be a bit careful. And then Ginny will say, yeah, but were you careful when you used to say or do things in the past? And I said no, I don't want you to make the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the aware of it. So that's that's good on that side. The other side and Emily and I'll praise her for it because she's like, I'm not having

Minnie and Theo's spaces out there and I find that's absolutely I respect that. Yeah. The good thing is they go anywhere and no one has a clue who they are, who they are, what they do, and they're not, it's not about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, treating, their, their, their, their, their, thing, and I thing, and their, and I'm thi, and I'm not, and I'm not, and I'm th. And I'm thi and I'm thi and I'm, and I'm, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and their, and their, and their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. thr, thi, thr, thr, thr, thi. thi. thi. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And, and I'm, and I thi, it's not about treating anyone different, is I don't want them to feel different. Emily didn't want them to feel different, and I understand that. So it's kind of good seeing on both sides, but Jillian and Princes are pretty good with it because sometimes I say if you put something on and you think it's going to get a bad reaction, you either turn your comments off or you just don't put it on like don't fall into that world of negativity It's not nice at all

You're so positive and it feels like you're very measured You're like very calm and collecting and because you've been in the headlines and all sorts of things and like Like especially now of like troll in online and comments and not even if you're on the tell you You know you can see it with kids at school groups on WhatsApp or Roblox where people are talking about and said they did this, there's photos and videos. Like, what advice would you give to anyone that is on the end of negative attention for whatever reason? Because you seem to deal with it really well. It's really tough and I had my fair share when Twitter first came out and before there was such thing as trolls and yeah before there was such things thinings thinings thinin things thin things thin things thin things thin things thin things thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin' thin' throwns throwns thro thrown as thro-a throwns. their throwns. throwns. throwns. the. their thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. their their thi.. their their their their thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi throwns throwns throwns thae. thae. thae and. thaeeea thauu. thau. thau. that's that's that's that's throwne. that's the an trolls and yeah before people really knew what it meant. Ah, made it was horrific at the start and I never knew how to handle it. And then I thought, well, the first thing I stopped doing was reading because I thought if you're reading something and you see the first negative word like I hate,

soon as you see that, just block it because once you've read it, you can't unsee it. Yeah. And then I thought, you know, the the the the the the the the the the the the the first. the the the first. the the first. the the the first. the the the first. the the the the the first. the the the the the the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the. the. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the the the th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. things. things. things. things. things. things. things. things. things. the. the. the. the. the. th Yeah. And then I thought, you know, God I'm choosing to go on these things so you're fair game so you just got to put up with whatever said and then I thought but I have to do it because it's my job and if I don't do it then you. Of course you got to promo your book and the publishers expect that that kind of stuff you need whereas back in the 90s there was no such thing so I do try and tell them look you know it depending on what kind of job you want to do yeah it could be important to that but use it as a work tool which sounds a bit odd yeah when you're 16 17 but I think they'll eventually get it I don't know if Emily will let Millie and Tseseau 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 the the the the the theo the only the the their their their their their their they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they they they they they they they to to to try try try tell to tell tell tell to tell tell they tell they they theythat. And Junior and Princess weren't allowed to even have Instagram until they were 14

and it had to be on private, although my daughter didn't listen standard. And I wanted to see for a year what kind of things they post to know whether it'll be okay publicly. So I've made mistakes in the past. I think that's really good to go like I've made mistakes to learn from it rather than pretending you're some kind of know-it-all parent that grown-ups can't make mistakes. I think that's a really healthy way of parenting. I've made some stockers even when I look back at some reality shows now and I think yeah I hate that I became can't believe that, you know, and you only know that once you've grown up.

Yeah, totally. It's very brave and also like admirable to reflect on that and go, I was not very nice then or I did something I regret then rather I'm going, no, no, it was fine. You know, it does show growth to accept sometimes you may have done things and like anyone does, like in a way you sort of regret. With the children's books and stuff now, you're obviously you've done the first one. Have you got them all locked and loaded ready to go? Yeah, I'm a bit too keen now. It's happening again.

They're sending 4,000 words a day. They're like, we're going to have to block this guy's email address. It's really getting too muchming us. Absolutely, yeah, no, I'm ready to go. It's funny because I thought at 50 I always said, I want to get to 50, I'll chill out. And then I don't know whether it was the pandemic or whatever, but when you had a year or two years of doing nothing and I realized how bored I could get when I'm doing nothing. I'm like, no, I've got to work. I just got to work. Do you want to do the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final the final to do the final to do the final question, Josh? Yeah, we always end on the same question, which is, if your partner was listening, is there one thing that your partner does that is incredible as a parent that is incredible

as a parent, that is incredible as a parent? I'm so lucky to be with this person. thate as a parent. And one thing that theyapy session for a while. Get it off your chest, Peter. Though the thing that she does that makes me just melt is, you know, she's a full-time doctor and she works and she does all that. But like a lot of parents, she puts her kids first, but to the point, that she she jeopardizes herself a lot of times so in the sense of how do I explain

this? I've seen people put their kids first but the way she does it is just, I don't know, it makes my heart melt. I've never seen anyone be so selfless when it comes to the kids and I'm sure most people say that about their wives but... No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't't joking I would say about Josh's wife either I'm joking I'm joking now let's go to the thing yeah the juicy bit this this this this thermostat thing it does my head in my head in it does my headache my headache like I've my parents are from Cyprus. I've lived in Australia. I'm used to warmth. D. wants it to be the Arctic all times of the year in our house, right?

I walk up, I think if I turn the heat up, she's not going to know. By the time it gets hot, she can turn it down because everything can start cooling down, and it's going to take a process, and bythe time she thinks it's down I'll turn it back on again and so we go. We've got a nice balance in the house. Oh mate. It's too cold. It's not just cold. Put it this way.

I said to her the other day, the first of April hapul happened and it's raining and she went, oh no, this is how positive she is, oh no, she said it's a thing, it's called April showers, as if the rest of the months have not rained and all of a sudden we've got April and it's raining and I went, oh wow great so we're gonna have a cold rainy month, great I'm looking forward to that, I haven't had one of those for a while. I'm saying is she doesn't feel the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold, the cold, tha, tha, I tha, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm tha, I'm that, I'm that, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm that, 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'm, I, 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'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm tha, I'm tha, thi, that, that, that, that, thi, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, she doesn't feel the cold at all. She's like me. And I need the heat. Yeah. So this is the only thing, but I'm sure she'll say exactly the same thing. About you, but switching around, it's too hot.

I reckon that's a small price to pay. Yeah, but I love it too much to go. But she's in the Planet, Drisle Bottom. It's out now for ages 3 plus. Lou will be buying it, Rob. Lou will buy a copy straight away. Yeah, she loves it. I have to get it signed next time I see her. Just tell Lou, if she can get me

in my trousers back, please. Because they're back in fashion now. Yeah, can you, can you say, Louise, theah. and I love you for me now Peter and Chuck and play it to her. Louise it's Peter I remember you from Fairfield Hall. You know what I've only ever done that once if I remember ever and I remember that night so well so you know I mean you ended up marrying Rob. Cheers, baby. Thanks mate. Surely it wasn't that greater performance after all right. Right, fine, thanks to that. No, well, you were a crush and she went from Greek God to this little blonde mess.
