Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. Hello, 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 not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course, tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing.

We're trying to start doing dinner as a dinner as a dinner as a dinner as a family rather than getting them down and us having dinner at 9 p.m. Yes. We basically got a decision between dinner at 6 and 9, neither of which are ideal I think. Yeah, six is a bit early, nice too late. Yeah, so we had dinner at six last night. Yeah, what do you have? Well we went with a kid's dinner rather than making them meet us. We had jack of potatoes. Nice.

Had cheese and beans. Nice. And I had cheese and cheese. Right. Okay. Add are you putting in the oven for two hours kind of the vibe or microwave then crisp up?

Ovening, but cut up so they're quicker. Cut up? How do you cut up? What do you mean cut up? Half the spuds before you oven them? I never thought about that. They do get a harder bit, but I quite like it. And then she really likes. So we're constantly

feeding her cucumber and peppers. But that's good that's a nice family dinner. Does it go well? Yeah it did go well. I mean my son just left and I just don't know what we could do about that. Well you just got off the table and wanted off? Yeah. Have you thought about being more interesting? the 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 th. the the th. the the th. 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 their their their to to tou c. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tou. tooooo Yeah for the last fucking 20 years mate it's not got me anywhere. He's too young he said what is he too he's not gonna sit at a table? No. Problem is I don't want to sit at a table with loads of people. Once I've finished eating I want to get up. Thank you for bringing this up. This is a big issue between me and Rose so we'll finish dinner when we're out. She'll still have a bit of wine left. Yeah. And I'm like, should we get the bill?

I can get that, Daniel, get home, come on. Come on, please. How slow are you drinking that fucking wine? Please. Or what was it is, you paid the bill and there's still a little bit of drink. I'm like, right, a place without other people in... Do you know, I get that Rose's more relaxed than me. I get that. I get that she enjoys that. But I find it really difficult. Have you always been like that? It's got worse over the years. The first time I noticed it, I know this sounds like an old person. But I just don't think the seats are comfortable enough at tables. When people say why do they're th th th th th th th th th they they th they they they they they they they they th they thi they thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho thi thi thi thin tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho- thi tho- thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th.

When people say, why do they do this? I don't get on.

I've never been more on team Josh. Can I talk to you about stools in pubs? Fuck off. Hurted up there, like a little tennis umpire. Give me a big soft seat. Back support, arm rest. Especially, I'm not going to say I should not fall out of you, but when you do go to them little hipster cuffs, the seats always cheap and shit, yeah, and they're all rickety and they look cool, but I want a big comfy seat with

armrests. Yeah, yeah. You know what my perfect seat would be in a restaurant? You know them chairs you only see in old age pensioner homes. Yeah, in case we drop food, in case they shit. Those kind of lean back big arms, love it. Honestly, at the moment I finish dinner, I'm like, we've got to go into the living room now. When people sit there, like, you go around for dinner party and they're just sat on their wooden chairs. There's better options next door, so eating whites. I'm faulty with a terrible diet and a slighter. thapapapapapapapapape. thaa' tha'er. tha'er. thiiiiia'er. thiioletetetet. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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 th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. thea'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n' My ass is at risk of piles at the best of times. Never mind sat on your wooden bench for three and a half hours. Exactly.

Come on why do we have to sit at the table and chat? Anyone like a cup of te coffee? No, it's fucking 10 p.m.

I don't trust the people that have coffee that late. Has he got a material about this? Yeah, he has, yeah. Yeah, so now you're accidentally on 16-8 because you've eaten so early. I was like, I finished at 6, so I might as well go to 10 a tm. Yeah, I was just like I might as well do it because I try and do it a couple of times a week because it's good for your cell renewal. Yeah, it's good to give your stomach a rest isn't it from processing food. So you know, he wasn't a health because you don't need to lose weight or anything. You're in good shape.

It'sto one about my gut. Yours in particular? That's quite lich. That algorithm is good. This one's just about trying. Yeah, I thought it was quite rude that they started crying. I signed up to the Zoe diet.

What's that? Is that where you wear a patch? Yeah. Because I saw loads of people with these patches on their arm on holiday and I said, Lou, what are they? And she said, there's three options. One is like old school nicotine. The other one is like a diabetes thing. Well, what it does is it measures your insulin levels and update you on an app. And it can also slow release insulin to manage it. And then there's also for those people with too much worry, too much money money, too much money, too much money, too much money, too, too their hands that it tells of how every bit of food they eat affects them. It's advertised by DeVina McCall and she looks fucking healthy, she looks great. I'd say she's always at fit and healthy. You don't wear it forever. Oh right.

Wear it for two weeks and it gives you a readout of your own what your own reaction to different foods and then you know which foods are affecting you in which way. That's that's. That Have you got it on? No, there's a fucking waiting list, and I don't get it until October. A waiting list? Yeah, so every time I eat a rice cake, I think this could be fucking, I don't know. I think you'll be right. Should I be avoiding quesons the next month? They might be my absolute best food possible. Just be kind to yourself, mate. Your body can take a cake. You don't need to be doing this to yourself.

Just giving you a pet's oak. Do you know what it is? I've really tried to eat well recently for energy reasons, and it does affect it. If I eat fucking shit, I go like that. Yep, sugar kills me off. If I have a load of sugar. Like you just crash hardcore. I think I've been doing a middle-aged dad health kick thing where I go walk the dog.

I walk the dog is like a 5K sort of route through woods and I've started running the first bit. Oh yeah. I was thinking to Joe Wilkins about it because he's just so to wait and run and he runs all all the time. I'm a like bullying a China shop kind of person where we've running you have to build up slowly. So what I've been doing is like the first sort of, it's not even probably a kilometer, it's like half a kilometer, is like up this hill and then it carries on so I've just been running up that hill and I'm doing it every time I take the dog for a walk but I'm like not not stopping, but then I'm going to try and go a little little a little a little a little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little little th. a little thi thi thi th little thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And thi. And th. And th. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thee. And the. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. like that. And does the dog love it? Yeah but it's so degrading. The whip it is looking at me and I'm like, huh, the whip it's like walking. I'm so slow that like the whip is like what is this? The problem I had last week saw it on Sunday and it was busy so like I'm trying to do it but then there's loads of people so I'm so slow at points, if I'm running next to a tall man,

one strides, three of my little runs. So I'm like running and he just walking normally and I'm just next to him. And it's horrible when you walk or go at the same speed as someone. So then I was going faster and then I'd like nearly up my leg. I'm so heavy Josh, it's horrible. Oh I'm not, my feet are so heavy when they hit the ground. It's just not my thing. You're just a right real slapper.

I think my knees are taking a pounding when I go running. Yeah, well it's can't be good for your knees, can it? Wait to you little Zoe, arm patch shows you what to do. Oh, mate. Oh, the world. I've got into NFL. No, have you? Yeah. Why? Because I become disillusioned with football. Why? Why? I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I'm enjoying Plymouth, but I'm not enjoying the Premier League. Why? Just not interested in it. I'm just fine myself. I'm not checking it anymore. I'm not checking it anymore and not knowing what's going on. Just sort of it's got too mainstream, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, too massive, to m-i, to m-i, to ma, 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 be their their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. I, to be to be. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's the the the the the the the the their their their their their their thoooooooooooooooome. I'm their their their their their thoooooo. I'm their their, not knowing what's going on. Just sort of it's got too mainstream, too massive, too money driven. It's not like I've made a conscious moral decision. I've just lost interest. Yeah, go back to NFL, sort of grassroots, who cares about the money kind of vibe.

Quite an eco sport, isn't it, NFL? But you've put my decision on me. I think it's absolutely fine to transport almost a team of 200 across America every weekend in two giant jumbo jets, one for equipment, one for people, just so they can play a little game, but... It's up to you mate. I like what you like. I'm not going to judge. Who's your team? Have you got a team? Yeah, Cincinnati Bengals? Why they called the Bengals? Is that all loud? D'I'm looked into it. Okay. I bought a hat though. We bought a hat. So why'd you like the Cincinnati

Bengals? Because I like the helmets. They've got stripy helmets, right? He sounds like a sitcom character trying to get laughs away. We'retalk about NFL. Logo and uniform, why they called the Bengals. They were modeled on the Cleveland Browns. Why they could the Benjohn? We? Yeah. You're a Bengal, I am? I am. We. It did take long, did it? No. You picked teams with just such shit nicknames. What do you mean? What's Plymouths? The Pilgrims? Yeah, come on. The cheese? What? The cheese? Oh, Pilgrim's Choice? Yeah. Who's your NFL team? I haven't got well. Eagles, because I went and watched them, but I don't really care. Why the Bengals? I don't think anyone cares. No, no one cares. Certainly not our listeners. Should we do some correspondence. The most popular. I involves Cincinnati beer from the Hudapol Brewing Company of what it's worth those commercials. Right we've gone off for one. Let's do some

correspondence right. Yeah I'll go first say stop. Stop. What's that message fail? That's my scene. Please keep me anonymous. I'm currently a dad to a 20-month old boy and our second a girl is on the way. I can totally relate to Josh as I spend hours a day in the local park running my boy to tire him out, though it never seems to work. I have been taking swimming since he was three months old. As always there's a WhatsApp group, including this swimming group. Few weeks ago, here we go. Oh no Oh, no, I don't know why I think I've got the toxic email that we're no I don't mean toxic. I'm just imagining the what's that fail Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah Oh, Oh, this is horrible We got chatting one week and she mentioned that other moms told her about the what's up today number and said I'd add her, but could not for the life of me remember her name. Instead of the embarrassment of omitting this, I saved her in my phone as fit swimming mum. Now I should admit I'm not very savvy with WhatsApp admin features. Big fat thumbs.

Sometimes when I see like blokes that aren't very sort of, their plumbers or something like that we don't need to be on top of tech. Sometimes I ask them to put a number in the phone and it's like given the phone to a chimpanzee. It's like these big, thick callousands, they're just like pounded into the phone. I don't get how your, if you are manly're thumb so big. They're just working with their hands all day. The fingers just get thicker. It's mad. Is it all just calloused skin?

I don't know. But my dad used to be a lorry driver and stuff like that. And he used to do the petrol. So he used to get all the big tubes and stuff so he was using his hands. Well he does just put Netflix on. Yeah, well have you got big thick working thumbs? Email in, why have you got them? Have your hands and fingers and thumbs got bigger over the years of working with them if you're a trade person or a builder?

Let us know. Let us know. I think mine are getting smaller. Now, I should admit, I'm not savvy with what's a thate. figure out how to add her to the group. In my eagerness to impress her I pressed the plus button next to... Is his man married or is he single parent? That's why he wants to be anonymous? Yeah. Dirty dog? Oh no, he's got my wife. Oh, it comes up later on. Oh no. In my eagerness to impress her. The one wants to be anonymous. I pressed the plus button next to the text bar and saw an option.. the the the the the to the to the the to the to the to the the the the to the the to to the the the the to the the the tooometex. Yeah. tooom. tooom. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to bea. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. to be anonymous. to be anonymous. to be anonymous. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. he. the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th.

To my aura, when I pressed send it did not add her to the group.

Do you know what it did? Did it share the contact with the group? Yeah. Oh, no. It shared a contact card with the title, Fitz Swimming. For everyone to say. What you do is you delete that, you, you, you, you, you, the group it, the group it, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. tho, thi. tho, tho, thoome, thoome, thi, thi, thiolioli, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the th.

What you do is you delete that group, you leave it, you delete it,

and your kid never goes back to that swim pool. To make things worse, my wife is also in the group. Oh, my eagerness to impress her is what worried me there. So I had some explaining to do. I told her it must have auto-corrected from new swimming mum. But she was having none of it. New swimming mum? New. Not nude, new.

New. Needless to say, it was a few embarrassing weeks at swimming lessons until the teacher fell into the pool, fully closed and the group went into overdrive talking about this.

He wants to get red flag tatted on his forehead. No, not as sexy as his mom. He loves his mom but also he's talking about it the same way as a naughty schoolboy would about a teacher, this unobtainable sexy mom that's involved. Oh I enjoyed that. I do notice about moms and dads at school gates where you see them when they've got like a two-year-old and then like a four or five-year-old that's starting and they look like people that have just survived some sort of like earthquake where they're like hairs all over the place, clothes are all the, and then like

about two years later once the way for kids are in school and they're a bit more together I'm like who are those two.

Hi Robin Josh you talk recently about changes to primary school sports days my son just finished at year six and so we're all looking forward to the final s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s. to to to the to to to to to to 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 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. th. th. th. th. thi. the. the. the the. the the the. the. the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thi. the all looking forward to the final sports day. The highlight is often the sprints race where the fastest boys and girls race against each other in their year groups. We were disappointed to find this missing from the program and a relay race in its place. When we asked our son about it later he had questioned his teacher about it and why there were no sprint races. She replied it was because last year several parents had emailed in

to complain that the wrong child had won the sprint race even going as far as to provide photographic evidence of the finish line. No. RIP the sprint race keep up the good work I've been listening since 2020 Caroline and Ken imagine that the thing is Josh in life most people are awful most people are parents. They will be there. They will be there. They will be their. They the thing is, Josh, in life, most people are awful. And most people are parents. They will be there. It's just like a workplace.

There's people there you get on with. There's people you don't. There's people you've got no opinion on. Same with people at school. What percentage of people do you dislike, do you think, Rob? In the world? In the UK. You know what I don't think it's that high. You know what it is? The bad ones are vocal. Yeah, yeah. Because the nice polite people, if I bump into them in the

I've never, I mean I don't think we could put this picture on Instagram, but I've never seen a man so drunk in my life wanting a picture.

I didn't understand a word he said, but he was with me and screaming at me. Oh my God. You can see the boxing on in the background. Look how pumped up that guy is. Oh my God. Now that man is on a night out. That's not the face I'm looking at. The face I'm looking at is, look how scared you are. Petrified! Absolutely petrified, Rob.

A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. Hi Rob Josh and Michael. It's some work experience stuff. When I was 15, we talked about work experience a few weeks ago, hence why these are coming in. When I was 15, like many other in my year at school, I applied for work experience. I was absolutely delighted to be spending two weeks in a veterinary surgery in Chelmsford. I've got to go to the vet later, Rob. I've got gottak the vet to to the vet to go to go the vet to go the vetter the vetting. I've got got got got got got got got got got got got 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 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 go the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the vet later, Rob. I've got to take the cat in for check up. Beryl's kidneys again?

No, it's Eddie. Eddie? Oh, the other one looks exactly like Beryl. All right. This is the problem, Rob. I can't really tell the difference. I'm only going to be about 8. So why doesn't Rose point the... Because Rose in Cornwall. Right. I've got to catch the cat. So are you and Rose ever actually at the house at the same time anymore?

Have you split up? I said this is yesterday. Every time I speak to you, you've just come home and she just left. There's a sentence I never thought I'd say. I said, I'm not saying this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this in this I'm not saying this in a bad way, but we almost haven't got a relationship anymore. But what I meant was the last two weeks of summer holiday were just a good way? But what I meant was, the last two weeks of summer holiday were just extreme parenting and we were never together without the kids. Especially because your kids do different things because they're different ages kind of thing.

Yeah and then the whole of September I'm working or she's away working at Cornwall or there's just never a moment when there's just the two of us. But it's fine. You like that? No, no I didn't say that. I just think you've just got to accept this is the path from the next month and then get back to normal. Right. And what happens if when you go back to normal you don't like it as much as the last month? I can honestly say Rob. Yeah. If my next month is as bad as September, then my life needs some serious questions because September is a tough old month. To give you an idea how much I want to be home, how little amount of time at home and how I'm trying to see as much of my kids as possible.

We finished filming in Cumbria at 1030 next Saturday in the evening and I've asked to get a car home which will arrive home at 530 in the morning. I don't think that's a good idea. It is. Because otherwise I lose the Sunday to travel and on Monday I'm doing pointless so it's like I just want some time in my family. Will you be able to sleep in the car? Yeah, got my pillow. Alright, okay, so if you can sleep then, yeah, that'll be alright.

It's just if you can sleep or not, isn't it? Yeah, I'll be fine. That poor driver. Yeah, but that's, he's taken that job. I'm not just getting someone from production to drive me, like it's, to to to to runner he's 16, but he's alright he's not bars his test, but we'll put the plates on. Anyway, I've got to go to the vet. No, yeah, sorry. After this I've got to hope the cats are still in the house and they imprison the right one. But what's Eddie in for Rose? thin and she's not being herself. But enough about Rose. So surely if the cat's peaky enough to go to the vets, you'll be able to tell which one's

which. Yeah I can't tell she's peaky. Yeah, then I'd argue she's not peaky enough. I can't tell which one's which one's which. I'm not a good judge. Yeah, no, but surely you should be able to tell which one's healthy, which one's not healthy. There's a warrant's a vet visit. Oh. What I'm saying is, if one's ill enough to go to the vets, you'll know. Yeah, it's a checkup than the cat. You're not far off. It's only about the corner though the vets, isn't it?

It's in one stood. Yeah, but the problem is if you take Beryl that isn't peaky. Now I'm not going to take Beryl. I tell you how I can tell the difference. Yeah. Because Beryl's operation, I can feel under her and I can feel her. There's a big scarring thing. Right, and Eddie's got a cock? No, they're both girls. But she's called Eddie?

Yeah, from Abfab. Right, OK, EDI. It's difficult. When your cat doesn't write it down, it's hard to tell. And they do that funny where they, actually Eddie, she looks a bit peaky. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah. When I was 15, two weeks at vet, try and certainly in Chelmsford, I was interested in becoming a vet and loved animals. So even though it took me about an hour and a half to get that, I was over the moon. I thought I'd be walking dogs. Sorry, I'm just just. I wasthis correspondence about 10 minutes ago. We've gone on a journey of your cats.

Your current relationship stations. We've just sort of gone. Right. Back to Chelmsford Bess. Sorry, it's making a laugh. You're all right? Yeah, I'm totally fine. Okay.

I thought I would... I thought I'd walk. For the purposes of the audio, is Josh did that thing where you put your hand out and wobble it slightly, you know, the little give and go. But I'm looking forward to chatting to you after you come out from Cumbria. Are we not doing one when you're doing pointless?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. experience in Chelmsford's vet, yeah? Yeah. Back to that. What followed was very different and a lot more hands-on

than what I anticipated. My first day in the job started with observing a vet expressing a Labrador's anal glance. Oh, their big pot is as well, Labradors. Oh my God. Unfortunately she missed the trajectory of where the contents would go and it ended up in my hair. Oh my God, what the fuck's an anal gland or what's in it? I don't know. I don't want to Google it though. At lunch I made tea for everyone, standard work experience stuff and then stood at the corner of an operating theatre and watched one of the dog was castrated. Oh my god. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Oh, thog. th. Oh, thog. Oh, th-in, thirty, thirty, thus, thus, thus, tho, tho, oh, tho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. Oh, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the the th-s, the the the th-s, the tho-s, tho-s, tho-a, tho-a, tho. Oh, tho first thought and I almost passed out.

Do not Google dog anal gland by the way. No. In my second week the Vex asked if I would mind being there while an elderly cat was put down. Fucking out. What was she in for? She was a bit peeking. And I'm very... She'd come in this as a straight and I'd spent a lot of time fussing over her in my first

week. Oh my God, she was really unwell and didn't have an owner so I held her while she went to sleep. Fucking. Is she a vet? Now this is brutal as it sounds. I learned so much from being up close to procedures and the reality of what goes on in a veterinary surgery. The vets and nurses were so lovely and though I loved it, I didn't end up being in a vet. I actually work in elderly care now. All right. Stay sexy and relatable. Best wishes, Shenade, High Wickham, formerly Romford.

I tell you what, though, I'd say that squeezing the anal glands of a dog isn't i is something what gets you into in in in in in in in in in to to to to to the to to to be in the to be in to be in the the It's something you put up with to be there. They've almost like hazed her there, haven't I? Giving her the most difficult. What's the comedy equivalent of anal glands on a dog? Leaving Cumbra at 1030 p.m. on no sleep. What am I doing? I just want Sunday. Oh, you're getting it from 5.30 a.m. on no sleep. Oh, fuck. th. th. th. th. the the the the th. the the th. the the th. the the the th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the. the the the the th.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e. the.e.e. the.e.e. the. the. the. the. the getting it from 530 a.m. I'm no sleep. Oh fuck. Hi Robin Josh following on from my work the work experience chat I had to email you to tell you about a former student of mine yeah an awful first day

on her work placement we managed to get out on a local pet shop which she was excited about however she was very nervous about making the phone call to to introduce herself before going so I'm not hundred percent sure she she.. she. she. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. the thi's thi's the thi's the thi's the the the the thi. tho. the to to the to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I. I. I'll th. I'll th. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll the. I'll the. I'll today. I'll today. I'll. I'll today. I'll toe. I'm toe. I'm to to to the. I'm not 100% sure she actually made the call. If so, then what happened could be considered a little bit her fault. She went in on the first day and there was a bit of confusion about who was supervising her, but she was told to go into a room to help one of the staff members. What we didn't know was the pet shop was attached to a vet's and the girl had been mistaken for a student vet nurse. She's done a Guy Goma. Oh that the driver that got mistaken us the interview and BBC. He's suing the BBC any? Is he? For like money that they've earned from that clip. You know it was that guy that went into the

news. Guy Goma. He'll sue for royalties. Guy Goma went to BBC for a job interview, he wasn't the driver actually, in 2006 ended up on air when he's mistaken for an IT expert. Ha ha ha ha ha. It was so good, his little cheeky smile. The job interview must have this, is heavy, isn't it? They're filming it. Yeah, so he's suing for royalties. Fair enough, it is a classic clip. Also as well, the guy he went in,

have you ever seen what the guy looks like? The other person was called Guy. Oh, was it? And his name was Guy. And I was expecting, maybe it was another black guy. It's a bit of casual racism, but no, the whitest man that ever lived. The white man for beard. God, I bet bet 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 that that that that that that that that that that that that that Guy. God I bet that researcher got a fucking... I mean that's a long time ago. They might be working quite high up TV now at the moment.

If you are that researcher, do get in toucest. Yeah, if you are the person that put Guy Goma on air. Yeah, we'd love to talk to you. But there is a legal case pending so they might want to wait but to have a zoom from the crown court. We didn't know that there was a pet shop was attached to the vet and the girl had been mistaken for a student vet nurse. She walked into the operating theatre as a vet was castrating a dog and she fainted shortly after entering. Would you faint? Yeah I would if I thought I was going out to get some more cat litter to put on a shelf. And now he walked to a room. If you told me a dog was getting castrated, I think I'd get ready for it, but if I thought I was walking into a stock cupboard and I saw that.

There was a dog having his ball cut off. Also always depends on the dog. Because there's some dogs and he looks like a hairy man's getting his knob cut off. Yeah yeah. Well it's spools but you know what I mean? Cheers for the laughs. They're very much needed in the middle of the night when my one-year-old screams the house down because she's having a difficult poop. Thanks Kate from hide. That's the reason I'm not a big fan of Labraders is they've got a big th got a big thageling like a big thagel like a big th th th th th thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thic thi they've got a big thi thi thi thi thi thiol- thiol- thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they's they's they's they's thi they's they's th they's thic th th th thic thic th thic thic thus but thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi toe toe toe toe toe toe thi thi toeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee thee thi thi thi. Horrible. And it sort of angles down like a sort of plow. But if you had a little farm, you could drag it along. Yeah.

And plow the field. Right, do you obviously think, this is a bit of a parenting tip this one? Oh yeah, it hit me. Parenting hack. Hi, Robin Josh. In recent episode. and I felt I had to write in and share, as I honestly think this is the best thing I've ever come up with in my parents in career. I have a six-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son, perfect for you, Josh, this.

A few years ago, I used to dread taking my three-year-old to the shop so she would inevitably have a meltdown when I wouldn't buy the items don't worry about it. My youngest always wants a teddy. Even now she wants a teddy. It's like, even at the service station and then rubbish ones, she just picks it up and goes, it does maiden. Anyway, this lady here, she said, that's when the list was born.

I started telling her that although we wouldn't buy each item today she could put it on the list. Is it a Christmas birthday good behavior list I hear you ask? Well it's all of them and none of them at once. I have never been specific and it's all stored in my head. It worked an absolute tree and ever since when she sees something she likes and asked the the the the list anthrown to the list and when I say yes she ftries to test me to see if it's really all stored in my head, but as she adds so many things to it each time we go out, all I have to do is reel off a few random toys and she's convinced, and she can't remember what's on it either. Every now and then she'll put something extra special right at the top of the item for birthdays, etc. This is great stuff. This is from Danielle. It's really good. And she said now that she's a bit older, I've also extended the concept

when I want her to do something she's reluctant to do and I have to do the inevitable wall in one, two, three, and I can get to three, something gets taken off the list. Oh. I don't say what item comes off it though, so she's always alwaysterrified of with something she really wants so does what I'm asking straight away. This is unbelievable, this is like Bitcoin, it's sort of like money that doesn't exist. This is beyond, this is actually hard to get my head around. I hope this might help other parents struggling with embarrassing shopping meltdowns. It's been a game changer. So the list, can I get this? I'll put it on the list. So the list. Can I th. th. th. th. th. th. th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like I'll like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th, like, like, I th. th. th. th. this, I this, I this, I'll, this, this, th. th. th. th, that's great. Good work, Daniel. Really like the list. Are you going to try the list? I'm going to try the list. I think I might try the list. Yeah. I'll talk to Rose when I see her in about four weeks. What's on your list speaking to my wife? Just seeing my wife. We had a cup of tea in the garden while both of them watch pepper pig. Yeah. And I was so happy. Yeah. I was like, this is living.

This is being married. And I reckon it lasted 15 minutes. Yeah, well I had to go down to, I didn't have to. It was a lovely visit of Luzzi extended family. We drove down to Portsmouth for the day for her Nan's birthday. Two and a half hours there, really bad traffic, two and a half hours back, was there for a few hours. It's five to six hours of driving.

We get back, I'm trying to shove some food in and then because I'm gonna go and play football that night. So I've already done six hours of driving that day. I'd eaten and like stood up. And I sat down, I went, I'm just going to sit down for 10 minutes to let my food go down. And then I'm going to go and get my stuff on and go and play football. I lasted five minutes before a kid cried. That is mental, isn't it? You should be able to do 10 minutes. I mean, I'd sat down all day driving, but...

Well, that's nice. We can have a cup of tea with Rose, in a their their to slowly, Rose is getting annoyed, and rightly so. Because Rose bought me and my daughter tomato seeds because we like to garden together for Christmas. I've done too many tomato plants, Rob. So it's going crazy. Our garden's gone fucking mental. So you said you garden seats though? Do you remember that garden chair that got delivered? How can we forget? Well it's slowly moving further and further down the garden as the tomato plants overtake the patio. Right okay and is it nice chair? Do you like the chair? Yeah I do like the chairs, yeah. Have you replaced a kettle yet? Have you replaced a kettle

Josh? Because I haven't got round to it. Round to it. Round to him. Round to him. 15 seconds on the internet I reckon. You can order a kettle in the time it takes me to say hello, welcome to Parenting and Hill. Yeah, I could. I could. Right, one more and we'll do small business. Here we go. Yeah.

Parenting and foul. I recently got married and we have an 11-month-old son who we took on our honeymoon in Skiathos, Greece? Skiathos? Our son ran right up for the entire holiday. He started walking at nine months. Yep, happened to me, absolute carnage, deadly. I've got no idea what they're doing. But has no sense of danger and just wants to climb and a higher chair for any meal and prefers us to chase him with a spoon which isn't the best restaurant etiquette. Again, I can't repeat this enough, don't bother having a holiday into your youngest is four years old. Put the money in a savings account and have an amazing holiday then. The rest of the time is awful. Now, while we were booked an island hopping cruise for the day, I was a little nervous as it was 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and our son isn't good at napping went out. However, I thought I might be able to get him down when sailing to another island in a quiet corner of the boat. You fucking lunatic. Who is it? Queen of Positivity. Oh yeah, I'll just get

them to nap on the boat. I realized I'd made an error when as soon as we left the music started blasting avatar. It turns out we had accidentally taken our baby to a boat party. The trip ran late and we were stuck on the boat to 8 p.m. with a very tired and grumpy baby that kept trying to climb off the sides. Oh my God. Megan Jordan Isla. Genuinely, do little mini breaks in the UK, but don't fly anywhere. Don't waste your money until the youngest is four it feels like a million miles maybe it's not relaxing is it Josh

no it's not a holiday no it's not unlike Wittsibble right are you going in a three years in a row Wittable we haven't talked about it but that's because we haven't talked to each other not because we've fallen out do you... Chance will be a fine thing. You need to talk to someone to fall out with them. Just never see her. Just always at work with that new bloke she works with.

Thank you so much for supporting these small businesses. There's loads of people commenting that, you know, these big companies we all buy things off, like they couldn't care less are worth billions, but these companies that we promote on here that you guys are engaging with them. We really do appreciate it. I've got a couple more here. Do you want to go first, Josh or shan't hi Rob Josh Michael. I hope this email finds you well, sexy and relatable.

O'Score official. Thanks so much for the opportunity. I run the business by myself alongside my 9-to-5 so any exposure would be amazing. Esther. A lot of people asked me about the bouncy castle I had the other day, which I paid for no freebies and I forgot the name of them, I guessed it, but this is a small business shout for them. Jumping Jack's Bouncy Castles was first established in 1997, the previous owner decided to sell the company. It was during COVID and EMAI and I were both in jobs when we were constantly having to sell furlough. So we took the jump, no pun intended, and sold our house in the country to move back to Bromley to where it all started. We bought the company with just over 50 castles, some soft play, two staff members and a van. Two years on, we have doubled our stock to 100 inflatables, lots of soft play and

garden to the hire to schools, festivals and parties. As a family-run business, we pride ourselves on health and safety and cleanliness. All we want is for our clients to be happy with our services and make sure that kids and adults are safe on all our inflatables. We've been building all this whilst parenting ourthree-year-old twins, Neve and George, we are based in Bromley, but cover Kent, Surrey, Southeast, Southwest London. You can find us on Instagram, Facebook, or our website Jumping Jack's Bouncy Castles, dot co-co, UK. That's Emma and Robert Kavanaugh.
