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.

Jessica, can you say Rob Bacette? Yeah. Go on. Go on. But back at. And can you say Josh Whittakum? Josh Widdickam. Good go. I enjoyed the bit where she just said yeah. Yeah. I really like that one because the mum spoke normally, right?

Sometimes parents talk to her kids gets a bit to Well done, Poppy. Fuck off Poppy. It was deeply average, right? But that was good. She did it well, the mum sounded normal, and a bit of attitude at the start, Josh. I'd say that's an 8.5 for me. Yeah, strong one. This is a recording of our 25-month-old Jessica saying your names, first attempt, no practices. I've been listening now for three years. Since moaning to a friend that nobody ever talks about the rubbish side of being apparent. She laughed and directly straight

I need to give you a cat update, don't I? Yeah, so you were having to take a cat to the vet, but they look exactly the same, so you're worried you was going to take just sort of I wouldn't know if my cat look peeky or not. I know when they look thin. Right. Well I want you to save that thought for after I've told you this story about whether I'm a better cat owner than you. Right. I just send you a picture of the two cats that we'll put on our Instagram to give people an idea.

Okay, sure. How easy is... Names again, Beryl and... Eddie. Well it's quite easy one sat down one stood up, Josh. That is good stuff. The whole family can enjoy that kind of humour. Well yeah, so it looks to me that is there a tiny bit of grey on the chest. No, they've both got that little bit of grey on the chest. They are black cats. T-n. T. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. tha. thea. thea. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. thea. the.

And, tha. And, tha. And, tha... No, they've both got that little bit of grey on the chest. They are black cats, long hair black cats with green eyes and both have got a little bit of grey on their chest. That is a tough spot. They're sisters. Sure. No surprise there. And so I finished recording this at about 12. Oh Josh I've written a really good joke. I started doing comedy again. You're gonna do thin the toys. Do you want to to to to th th th th no, I've always been doing it, but stand-up gigs. Yeah, yeah. You're gonna do some stand-up on me? Do we do a joke, you see if you think it's funny?

I was really happy with it. Now I'll say it up to say it's funny, whatever, yeah. Well, no, I think's really a confidence hit that is basically the punch is we didn't even have matching parents oh that's good that is good yeah it's good but it needs to be that's the problem I'm in between I've got the stuff but I can't deliver it properly yet Josh and it's really hit my confidence to the to the to the talk to you about the fact you have matching pajamas at Christmas with your whole family? Um, with Lou and the girls? Yeah, you can if you want. A bit, a bit. A bit, thii. thin, thin' it. thin' it. Yeah, a little bit. I'm not really into it, but Louvre. today, the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. thin thin thin' thin' th. th. th. th. the their to their thin' thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. their th. th. th. L. th. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. ta. tooooooooooom. L. L. toy. He was dressed like his family.

I saw, so the other day, well we went to put a dog walk and I saw a couple, middle-aged couple, walking along and they both had shorts on and the polo shirt, but they both had matching colors, but the shorts was like a lemon color, and the top was like a violet, and I was like, they were like, they were 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, thi, like, thi, thi, thing, th, th, 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, they were like literally matching clothes, but I don't know if it was an accident or not, but me and Louie were matching clothes,

but we were just wearing like blacks active wear because we were going for a long walk. But I think lemon shorts and a violet top is a strange. Yeah, that's a strange combo, that's a strange combo. Anyway, let's talk about your cat. So I go downstairs. A lesser comedian would say the tha, I tha, I downstairs. A lesser comedian would say, your pussies. Yeah, yeah, but you're being doing comedy now, so you've got, you've got a gear ready to go.

All right, sorry, Josh, let's get back on track. I'm knackers as well.

I'm absolutely exhausted. I'm burning the, I'm not just burning the candle at both ends, Josh, I'm lying in the middle and chucking on a bonfire. My candle is wet, why is your candle so wet? My candle's dripping wet of heat just because I'm getting up at six-ish with the kids to get him into school because now they've got new clubs my daughter goes swimming at 745 a.m. Oh fuck that. It's too early. Who the fuck is she Adam Petey? Like anyway look they're oh no because she's getting a bit older like oh just she want to sort of do swimming like that do on the swim team I was like probably not no because that involves me having to get up to go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go the to go the to go the to go the to go to go the to go. Oh to go. Oh to go. Oh to go. 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.

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 on the swim team? I was like probably not, no because that involves me having to get up at 6 a.m. and John to fucking pull.

I was in the car for today guy. You like swimming don't you don't really want to race deer. She was like now brilliant don't don't race. Don't race. If you're going to commit time to a sport Unless you really love it, but anyway, but yeah, because I was at secondary school. I had a friend and he was about 15 And he was swimming competitively and he'd have to get up to grow up and you're like You're not gonna make it by this age, mate. You're not even the best in Devon Yeah, but also even if you do like adder, you know no offense to Adam Pee he seems like a good guy Rebecca Adel, Duncan Goodhew, Sharon Davis. Duncan Goodhew is your third one off the of the. But yeah, unless you're Michael Phelps who's like mega style, but like you're not earning much more than a championship level of world football or are you?

But but you've got up at 6 a.m. every morning. And you're an assuming all the time. And you've got like you're on your own, you're on a to on a to on a 't know, I just sort of feel like, if you're gonna commit to getting your kid to sort of do a sport loads, they've got really love it, or at least pivot them into like tennis. If you've got girls as well, tennis or golf is probably the biggest earner. Rob, it's not about earning, Swimming sport. I don't really think, I know this is bad, I don't really think walking, running or swimming

sport. I quite like running. I don't mind running. Swimming, you can't see what the fuck's going on. It's just eight different splashes. Like and you've seen which splashes are it. It's basically if you've got the biggest feet and hands you're going to win. Anyway, let's get the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I th. I th. I'm thin thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' th. I'm thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' th. I's thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' th. Swi. I'm th. I'm thin. I'm th. th. the a thin. thin. thin' thin' th get back to your cat, sorry. But can I just say sitting on the side for swimming it fucking stinks.

I know it's horrible. It's like top secret's bloody toilets. Yeah exactly right. Exactly. It's too hot and it stinks and you're just sat there going this isn't relaxing. So what would you be your best and worst sport? Say your kid got into sport, your kid, one of your kids, and they were like basically going pro, so you're there four days a week, but Saturday and Sunday, what would you pick? What would be the best and worst? Chess?

Indoors. Darts? No, pub. I don't want to go in a pub. I don't thea thea thea I could thea I could thea I could thea I could 't want to go in a pub. I don't think I could handle rugby. Rugby's the worst. I think... Rugby's the fucking worst, mate. It's awful.

I hate it. I can't see what's going. It's just a big bundle, isn't it? Right, here's my question with rugby. How do you know who's good and bad in the scrum? They're all just pushing together. Oh, God, that's a great nudge there from number three in the scrum. How was one of them playing for England?

You don't know who's, but who's, they're all just pushing it. It just makes no sense. It's shit. It ruined my no sense. It's shit. Yeah. It's fucking shit. It ruined my school days. Did you have to play at school? We played it a couple of times, but our school was very sort of southeast under our school.

So in the end, they just let us do basketball, ping pong or football. Oh, mate, we used to do a term of rugby every year, and it was fucking terrifying. Did I tell you that I was basically, I yo-yoed but our our PE groups were higher and lower, yeah? So the year was split into two, so it's four PE groups and on each side of the year we had a higher and a lower and I yoyed, I was either depending on the year, the best in the lower were literally kids weren't finishing the hundred meters. It was f-fi-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I, I, I, I, the year, the best in the lower, where literally kids weren't finishing the 100 meters, it was fucking brilliant.

Or I was the worst in the higher and I was playing rugby with the rugby team and me, and it was awful. Yeah, you must have got absolutely battered. Yeah, I used to run ahead of the ball so they couldn't pass to me, like just just ahead. Did you have the asthma pump like in hand? Or is that just on the sideline? No, no, no.

I was never the bad enough for it to leave the dressing one really, the changing one, sorry. Well, that's the thing, there was kids I remember at school that had asthma. And it's like, you know what you're doing. And they would scream, oh are you, have you got your asthma pump in case you need it when we do sport? I'm like, you know, you're not really inspiring him to success, are you know? Just screaming at a boy, have you got your asthma pump? It was awful, mate. It was fucking awful, it was just a big kid called Sean Devanish, who was just... I can picture him, he is massive. It's fucking massive.

If he gets the ball, that's a try. And on the other side, there was another big kid called James Penfold. Same thing, it was just those two. Did them have a fight after school ever? No, they were friends, I think, farmers. They were both, I think farmers. Big thick neck, big thick finger part farmers. Big old necks mate. We're like we're talking about big fingers of a working man last podcast. The big neck of a farmer. Hay boughs at the age of six get on with it.

They would get time off for bailing season. That's mental. Just hire someone. Don't get you take your child out of education. Just pay an adult to do your job. Right, um, oh, cats, that's what we talk about. So, it's the cat. So I go downstairs after we've recorded and she's there. And I think we've got to go up three, and it's two-that this is three hours time, but I reckon get her in the bedroom now Yeah, yes because that's where I lock her in the bedroom right? Okay Lock in the bedroom our bedroom put a litter tray up there Leave it and so after an hour I go up Sneak in the bedroom. She stays in there. She backs under the bed and then 20 minutes before leaving I go up to get her in the box.

She's not by the door where she thinks she'd be loitering. She's not in the bedroom. How has she got out of the bedroom Josh? For an unwell catch he's pretty wily. Yeah, mate, honestly. And I look round the room and let me show you. Would you take a photo of nothing if she were in there? Is it just going to be a photo of your empty bedroom? It took me ages to realize what had happened. And then I saw this. Oh, the window's open! The top bit of the window!

The top bit of the window! How has she got out of that? On a first floor. you. Oh no you're in trouble. You've lost the cat. I've lost the cat Rob. She's scrambled up the new curtains and out of the top of a fucking French window. And on the first floor? On the first floor. She's then hopefully climbed down the house. I had to go and check that her body wasn't on the floor below. Yeah she was peaked. Yeah she died. She's in such a bad way she seemed to jump the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's the the the the the the the the the the cat. She's the cat. She's the cat. She's the the the the the the the th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's the. She's the. She's sc- I thea. She's sc- I thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thoo-s thea' tho-s. She's sc floor below. Yeah she was peeky, I think she's peaked. Yeah, she died. She's in such a bad way she seems to have jumped out the window. So... so she disappeared. Completely disappeared. I had to phone the vet and tell them my cat had disappeared.

Absolute. I mean it must happen all the time, right? No, but like not as a No, not as a symptom. I've got to bring you my cat in. It's disappeared. I couldn't believe it. So you didn't take her in the end? No, it's been moved down two weeks time. And how's she doing? Well she turned up in the evening because it was awful until she turned up because I was like fucking out. Can I ask you a question Josh? Yeah. If you lived that at at at th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. th. the th. th. the th. th. the the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. 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 ti. I ti. I ti. I's. I's ti. I's time. I'm time. time. time. time. time. time. time. time. tip. tip. tip. tip. ti. ti. I's. I's today Can I ask you a question Josh? Yeah if you lived alone Yeah, and you looked at those two cats? Yeah Would you ring the vet to book an appointment because one looked peeky? Well Rose did point out um to me. Yeah the and I did notice that when she pointed out her breathing's quite fast and deep quite fast and I can see it a lot more than with her sister.

How old is she? We got her in 2015. She's eight. Oh, so it's not. My breathing would increase as well, to be fair that my breathing would increase as well if I was locked in a bedroom by TV's Josh Willock about to climb out of the window.

Well, hopefully she's alright Josh. She's fine. Well, she's not. She's got an appointment in two weeks. But... Tell you what, even a cat can't get a doctor's appointment so the NHS is at his ass. Too bloody right, mate. So yeah, I didn't get to do the appointment because the cat got out of the fucking top when. I couldn't believe it. I took so long looking for her. Would you have thought to close the window? Well, yes, if I'm trying to secure a cat in a room, I'd probably check the window.

Like, I wouldn't say it's a, it's not like, I wouldn't check all the bolts on it, but if it was open, I'd shut it. Yeah, I mean, it's thick from me, isn't it? Yeah, a little bit. I'll be, in your defense it is the, it, it, it, it, it's it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it's, it, it's, it's, it, it's, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a th. th. th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

But the cat no. Yeah, the cat, yeah. Clever little bastards. Clever little bastards. Your mom hates it when you leave six half-full glasses on your nightstand.

I'm so tired good to know good to know you do realize this isn't just a catch up this is people are listening

And even even on a phone call catch up. We're like come I'm not having it out Got a busy day. Well, I'll tell you this go on 3 30 in the morning. I wake up and we've pulled into a service station right. Okay now. I presumed. I thou this this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this. this.

Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. Three. a service station. Right, okay. Now I presumed, you know, I thought this guy would be like, his special move would be driving through the night. Yeah. And he just pulls into a service station and we pull up and I wake up and he goes, I just need 10 minutes. I just need 10 minutes. And then he did this with his hand. And then he did this with his hand. He just just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just th, he just th, he just th. He just th. He just th. He just thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th. He, th. He, th. He, th, th, th, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, th. He, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, tho, tho. He's thoo. He's thooed, thoooooo. I thoooooooooooooo, the just need 10 minutes. But that's the sensible thing to do, yeah.

And then he did this with his hands, he just went, what? Rubbed his face like he was the most tired man in the world. I mean, I get it's 3 a.m. Like, he rubbed his face like to say, I can't believe this is happening to me. And I said to him, I think you need to go and get a coffee. And he said, you sure? And I was like, yeah, of course I'm funny. I had that one to the tour manager and it was driving from Birmingham. And he was, I was just so tired. I would get a coffee, no I don't have a coffee because I'd be awake when we get in then. I went yeah but I'd quite long to die on the way. I'd rather you take an extra

out to get to sleep than we both die on this motorway. Do you know what I've done that with like TV shows where I think I really could do with a coffee here. Do I care more about getting to sleep or just doing well on the TV show? What I'd say with that drive back from Cumbria though is Josh like, yeah my dad was a driver and like a cab driver, Laurie drive and did a driving job so like no matter like how much you prep for it, having to drive from Cumbria to London overnight is just not okay is it? It's just whether that's your job and you're slightly used to it like there's no humor on the planet that's like yep well that's the job for me that's you know that's like oh god you know

you know I don't try and get a keep in a day but like if I was that driver I'd be like at three o'clock in the afternoon I be like, I have to go to sleep now because later I'll need it. But you just can't. Fucking Cumbria, man. He didn't even have the radio on. Sat like that for six hours. What are you thinking about? Yeah, I don't, that's the one thing with the people like the drivers or

cab drivers where they don't have any radio podcast or my headphones in. just driving silence and I think I don't think my brain could cope with that. No. What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about? He sat there just going oh he was on the window now he's on the other side with his pillow. Very interesting. I wonder if he brings that up on his podcast on his jackpot podcast that people listen to how long were you at the services then I don't know I've fallen asleep straight away once he went in and got his coffee yeah I fell back to sleep on the that the the non window side yeah yeah of course good to know I got home four thirty eight lovely in to bed. You've got to be quiet there because you could wait the kids up for the day. That's the danger of that time. Yeah, yeah. And then I was up

at half eight. Do you have a nice day with the kids? I was quite tired. What did you do? In the morning we did the Jumble Trail. What's that? So it's a thing locally in Clapton where people have stalls outside their houses. It's like a Jumble sale, but everyone has stores outside the houses so people walk around the streets buying stuff. Lovely, if that should be. And I did that. We went and helped out on someone on a Pearl's friend's stall. We turned up Rob. I, I wouldn't, you know when some people have just got a lust for life? And they're just like, you feel like he's tapped out, Josh. Rob, let me tell you through the following week, it's overshadowing me. So you're in a state where you've had a busy week and you're tired,

and then you've got a busy week coming up? I'm just going to take through the next two weeks. Okay, right? And then very quickly. Can I please request enough detail, but not as much detail as pillow positions. If that's all right, like just speaking for me. Thank you for you this funny today, Rob, because I'm in a fucking state. Tell me for you two weeks. So, drop my door off at school today, then do this, then straight into having my neck sorted,

which wasn't helped by sleeping in two separate positions. I mean, yeah, you've had the old neck, um, weigh early for the old neck osteopath appointment, three weeks running, the neck too stiff at the moment? It's just, it's just playing up and then got to get, go straight into town, doctor's appointment and then a meeting and then go back to get my daughter from friend's house, get home, bedtimes, etc. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, Pointless. Yep, and then what else you're doing? Yeah, really nice. So you're going to, you're hosting Pointless? I'm kind of hosting Pointless.

Yeah. Yeah. Which was really looking forward to, and I am really looking forward to, but I am, I could do with a day off. Well I'd say, though, that gig of being the Rich and Osmond is more, where you don't want want to to to do to to do to th you're to th, like to to to to to to th, like to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that, that, that, th. Yeah, to do th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to do thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, try try try try try try and try and try and try and try try and to do to do too, toe, tooo' toe, toe, to be I'd say is though, that gig of being the Rich and Osmond is sort of less is more, where you don't want to do too much, like you're trying to take it over and do a panel show, you actually just need to give a few answers and be a bit slightly amusing. But the danger is for you and your current position, you literally don't say anything. I just fall asleep behind that. Armstrong goes, okay Josh and any pointless answers there and you go, yeah Denver, Colorado. Okay, thank you very much Josh Whitaker there there on. Oh God. So you're a bit pointless, yeah. Friday I'm recording voiceover on my CBB's show. Yeah and

and it's about a sad lizard? Is it about a sad bloke that's too much on? Is that what the show? No, he lives on a planet with his daughter and a big lizard. Yeah, so he's actually got quite a relaxed life compared to mine. Afternoon, I'm recording a voiceover for James A. Castor's new podcast thing. Saturday, take my daughter to a birthday party. Sunday, fly to Spain. What are you doing in Spain?

Recording, the show with Nish, for four days. Fly back, Thursday evening, get in at 1, 10. Get Friday here, Saturday, go to Bradford to record another episode. Do that. Have you been in Bradford for? Four days. And then we're in the middle of October. It's about the 5th of October by then. Cool and what bit are you looking for to most? I'm having an anniversary dinner with Rose on Friday. Oh, that's nice. Where you going? I tell you right, Rob. Rose has booked it. I'm for...

I'd forgotten until she said earlier. And then I... Yeah. Oh, it's mad. It's mad. It's just a mad. It's just a mad, mad. You'll be all do each day all you got to do now is have a chat about our kids yeah how are your kids how my kids all good back into

school oh yeah my youngest needs glasses so she's worn a glasses to school oh is she excited about that she was really excited and then she was a bit like apprehensive about going in because she doesn't really like she's like she's sort of like she's throwns a to or it's about sort of her. So if she's got something new, even if she had like, she had to wear trainers in because she had a bad foot instead of shoes for a day, she'd be like, I don't want to do anything that makes you stand out kind of thing. Yeah, classic.

But it was very. But she was very, she was like, I was like, she was like, she was, she was, like, she, like laugh and stuff like that. I was like, no, don't worry. And that's horrible. Anyway, so I walked in with her, and when she just wouldn't leave my side, and was just like the way she was just holding and touching her glasses, and was like, she was so self-conscious, bless her.

But the have an operation, I'd rather go and have the operation. You know what I mean? Like just put me into the thingy, whatever. I think the most difficult thing with parenting is, you slowly realize there is nothing you can do. No. That she's got to walk in that playground, wearing glasses and react to people's reactions and deal with people. Because ultimately, you're never going to be in a position in life as a child, thapapapapapapapapap's going to say something that's a bit rude, a bit off and normally it's their own issue that they're sort of projecting onto other people. It's always their own issue. It's always their own issue. It's always you know and stuff but that's life and that's a life lesson is to learn that and I want to be able to do it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for it for my it for my it for my it for my to to do it for my to do it for my to do it for my to do it for my to do it for my to to to to to do it for my to do it for my to to to to to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do it for my to do it for my their their their their their their their their to their children to their children to to to to to to their children to to to to their children to to their their to that's something that I've got to work out myself, because I think what I struggle with a lot in life is,

with the kids, they're going through childhood milestones that I actually found traumatic as a kid. Yeah, and when they're going through it, I sort of get transported back to that time, and I feel it in my body about how I felt when I went into school school school school school school school school school school school, it in my body about how I felt when I went into school and had glasses and things like that. Did you have glass it? Oh yeah I did didn't you? Yeah so I had glasses of a kid. So anyway so she went in and she was hiding behind my back and then there's this wonderful teaching assistant that both my girls love and you

know she's lovely, I won't say I know she wanted to be named. She knows who she's, she eventually we called her over and she run over and then my daughter went in with her but you could see she's so like full of joy and loud and she was so small and stress going in. Anyway so I let her go obviously let her go in and stuff like that and I got back to my car burst into tears. Oh my god. But like not just like, not just like oh that just like you know like in a feast in a film were like like, well, like, someone like starts, I wasn't punching the wheel, the steering wheel, but you know like, that kind of moment of just like, and I was just like, where are you in part? Where are you the thrown? I mean, so like, I'm just sort of,

so all the parents are walking past me, the ones I know, but also, but the ones the ones the ones the ones th...... that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the that, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the the the kind, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that. that. that. that. that. thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, the the thanks, the thanks, the the thanks,? Yes it is but I'm crying facing the other way. So yeah so you're allowed to talk about which way you're facing a car? Tusha good stuff and respect that actually you're waking up mate you've been off Cumbria time you're back in yeah so that was that was quite quite a and how was she a pickup? She was fine actually she sort of you know you know some some some some some you you you you you you you you you you you know so you know so you know so you know so you know so you know so you know so you know so you know some some some some you the the the you you the you the you you the the you don't you're the the so you're so you're so you're so you're to so you're so so so so you're so yeah so so so so so so you're so so so you're so so so you're so you're so so you're so you're so you're so you're so you're so yeah so you're so yeah so you so you so you so you so you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the don't the don't the don't the don't the the the the th th the, yeah, so that was, that was quite, quite, and how was she a pickup? She was fine actually, she sort of, you know, some people said some things, some people didn't say to things and stuff like that,

but it's just, yeah, it's just difficult having to allow them to go off themselves and do all that stuff, you know, anyway. But, yeah, it's just been really busy. Even as an adult there's nothing worse than, do you remember what it's like when you like even getting a fucking hair cut and going into school? I know, or when I remember when I wore a baseball cap once I went to the pub my mate's right I just felt I've got fucking hat on. Oh you wearing a hat? And I was like, oh yeah I just took it off and just drunk a beer in silence. But also, bless her, it was school foe-oh day. Oh no, I remember hair cut wise. I had, I had curtains way longer than I wanted to have curtains just because I was afraid. How long were they? They worked quite long actually. But yeah, it's terrifying getting a haircut or any change or like, mufty day I found quite nerve wrecking. Yeah, because it's horrible as a kid and it's. their their their their their their their their th. th. thi cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut. It's th. It's th. It's th. I th. I th. I thi cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut, I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I I th. I I th. I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I t. I t. I te. I too. I too. I too. I te. I too. I te. I too. I te. I had te. I had te. I. Yeah like what you're going to wear and stuff yeah because it's horrible as a kid and it's so mad

because it doesn't it literally means fuck all especially when you get to a teenager people at school that were like the cool kids. If you look at him now it's an absolute fucking joke. I would say it's like scoring a girl goal early isn't it? It's never actually the good sign that you think it is. No, who puts a lot of pressure on you going? But also like at the school it was cool if you like, you had an older brother? Yeah. Certain things that now, like I don't look at you and be like... Yeah, I don't know if you know Josh, but I've got a brother who's actually 52.

So pretty cool. What else can you do? Well, so it's been a bit of a logistical nightmare because of Clark, they're doing so many clubs now. So like one day, my daughter does swimming before school, swimming during school, a little, some sort of drama class after school, separately, and then also has got guitar lessons. Bloody out. That's too much stuff, isn't it? Yeah, you're really covering your bases, Rob. Does she just like it? Like it? It was my daughter who didn't like any clubs and now she's absolutely club heavy. She's got club mad. She only did record last day, now she's doing all of them. She's take me through the guitar lessons. She does a guitar thrarararararararararararararara. thagage. thage. thage. thage. thage. thage. thage. thage. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. That's thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's th. That's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the. the. the the the the the to to to to thea to to to to too too too to too too doing guitar lessons, she does swimming, amateur dramatics club thing, she does Lego club, choir, circus skills. But that's six

clubs, there's only five afternoons. Summer at lunch, summer outside of the school, local church halls or whatever, but she's just absolutely, what we do is we go mad for it in the week and then weekends no clubs right that's what we're doing at the at the moment so does she just she coming home at like five or six every day yeah they're so tired and agggy and they argue you know like I was a bit smug what he said my kids play well and get on together they're still play now but they're arguments are getting more and they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they're they they're they they they're they they're they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th th th th thi thi tttttto tto to to try to th tho tho tho the tho they're they're they're they're talks are getting older they're like nearly eight and six it's like if they were married I'd suggest a divorce I know that there's love there but it's gone yeah yeah it's not what it was and you'd probably be better apart and do you think I was thinking about

this the other day yeah yeah it's weird to think that the odds are your children they probably text each other once every couple of months the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 th th of the tho. they're they're they're they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their th. they's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. they're th. they're the the the the the the the the the the the thou the their the they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th think that the odds are your children, they'll probably text each other once every couple of months when they're grown up. It depends, doesn't it? They might be close. Yeah. But lots of people aren't with their siblings. And it's weird. How do you make, how do you, how do you get your kids to like each other? And I still think mine do. However, how do you carry that on into adulthood? I think the number of children you have makes it more difficult. So I've got four brothers, which is harder because you can't all meet up all the time

because there's so many of you. And also if you, and then you feel guilty if you meet out with one or two of them and not everyone. They've just got stuff in common. Yeah. Like you know if you've got stuff in common with someone it doesn't matter if they're your brother but if you've not got any common ground. Yeah because some because some siblings is totally different. Yeah you've got You got nut you go, what are we going to talk about? Yeah. Oh, they've also do football club, which I'm a big fan of. Oh, yeah. But they've grown up shim pads, which is so funny. I know. I know, I know. They're six and eight. I know, is that because they're shit or because it's... Well, what you said about mythere with your bad neck slagging off women and go, oh do they need chimpanzees, I probably can't even kick it hard enough to hurt a shin,

perfetting, you're a disgusting man. Is it because it's agro or is it because... Pig? Is it because? Is it because? No, so I think it's because they've not actually started, they're just doing passing and shooting in a moment, but I think it's because they have to wear boots so they don't slip over and I think they're a bit wild with kicking. That's what I mean, yeah. Yeah, so it's a bit little bit untamed, a bit wild. But they're a little bit untamed, but theythey loved it. I've got them, I've got them, basically they wear their peer kit, but you have to take in some socks, shin pads and boots, right? That's a way to get them to bond in the long term is me and my brother support Plymouth

Argyle. So that is, we've forever got that. They do, they do seem to really like playing football. I don't tak. I them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them th. th. th. th. th. I th. I the. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm the. I'm tho. I'm, thoom. I's thoom. I's. thoom. thoom. thoom. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. I. I. I. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. toge. I'm. toge. I'm. I'm. I'm. toge. I'm. toge. I'm. toge. I'm. toge. toda. I'm. I'm tod like what much. I'd probably take them to the Arsenal Palace because that's their local club and you should support your local club really if you're going to be taken anywhere. But anyway, so I've got them these football boots and shim pads, but like the shim pads, right? So there's, I hated these shimpads as a kid. The ones that go around the ankle, it's just, because, because, because, because, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, their, their their their, their, their, so, so, so, and I', so, and it, and I, and I, and I, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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 I'm like, you can't run or play football. There's no freedom there. So I just got on these little ones that slide in and they really like it and I gave them their boots and stuff. They can't do laces, we've been doing it. We've just done Velcro, so I've got now to the them how.

I know how to know how to do how to do how to do howthat Rose is the two bunny ears and then tie them together? No, I don't know what that means but my daughters I think I've seen a video in YouTube about doing laces doing their own research. Because I just do a normal bow. But they're just do a normal bow. But I just do a normal bow. But I don't do their boarse. But if you're teaching a the two two two two two two two two two two two two the two bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny the the the the the the the two bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny the the the the the the the the the th. bun. the th. the the th. B. B. the the th. B. th. th. the the the the the th. the the th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. two. to. two. to. to. two. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the to. the the, well, just get your boots on and then let the teacher do them up. If you're teaching a five-year-old, most of them aren't going to know. So you can, it's probably quicker just to do them. Anyway, so I put my daughter up from football, turns up, she's got on the wrong feet. What? However, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if you, if you're, if you're, if you're, if, if, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, if, if, if, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, is, is. th. th. th. thi. the. thea. thea. they's, they's, they're, thea. thea. thea. th. th. th. th. th. So one of the teachers has looked at those feet and just tied them up. I'm like, they're obviously on the wrong feet. And like, I get, it's all right if you weigh like your shoes on the wrong feet walking into school, but you're playing football.

She's invented the new... She invented their own predators. But that was crack of up when she'd come up. They loved it, but they're enjoying doing all the clubs and stuff. So what time do you have to get up for clubs, Rob? We get up, well Lou gets up about six every day. I get up for about half six. Farkin. And then I try to take them I them them them them them them them them their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to their to to their to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.

So it's not like try zone too mate. It's not like in a city where if they shut roads closed there's 400 other roads I could go on.

So mate honestly it was it was taking like it only takes 20 minutes to get to school, it was taken like 45 minutes and it was carnage. It was awful and was being late for stuff and it was just so stressful. However, the good thing is the girls have got into Kasabian, they're like Kasabian, so we've been singing Kasabian in the car which is a marks improvement from Spice Girls to Caspian. Um, do you? Yeah, I love Spice Girls. More than Caspian? Well, I don't like Caspian. Why not? They're not, Rob.

They are. What don't you like? They're not. I might have to stop doing this. I get it if you're like prefer blur, but how can you not like Kasabian? I just don't, I've never liked Kasabian. What's the problem with them? The music, it's musically good? No, it's boring.

Boring? It's laddy crap. Laddy crap. You're pathetic, you know that. Ha ha ha ha. Back to school signals a fresh start for students. New classmates, new teachers, new lessons. Change is in the air.

But one thing hasn't changed. The forward government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year. If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government. Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools.C.A. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario. To new friends.

I don't find them that pleasant to be around. I guarantee you won't want to leave. Speak no evil is filled with teeth clenching, seek clawing suspense. Something's not right with him. I've always wanted to find me like yours. James McAvill will scare you speechless. Oh! You're going to kill us. We're just sad to see you go.

the go. Speak no evil. Only in theaters now. Oh, said I've got a couple other things to here before we got. Right, so Lou took the girls to this party, right? It was like a spa party, because a friend's a bit older. And they went and basically got the nails done and got a bit of their hair and like a pampering thing at a spa. And then it was like half gone but you know what it's like getting rid of those tattoos they go slowly. There was barely

anything there, there was a note in the plan again and there are no tattoos allowed in school. It was like all right fucking calm down. It's literally Wednesday they went back from their end to the end of the end of ta tau. It's it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

It's their their their their their ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. their their their their their their there's their tatoe. t English party and then they went to school and I was like, Lou, they've got their nut, you can't send a kid who painted nails. They've got to do with painted nails, but Lou didn't have any nail varnish remover. So we had a note from tattoos last week, so we're gonna get a Oh no, Rob. No shit, Rob. Like you're taking them out on huge nights out every to be fair like they are so tired, I think we do too much in our life. No shit Rob.

What are your kids is in seven clubs? The kids are small, but they just like that, I'm so tired. You know, they went, there's not even time at the weekend to rest. What is wrong with you? Well, they're just up for it. I'm trying to tire him out. But like, anyway, no, you've done it. We went to a park and there was this big swing. We went to a new park and there was this swing thing, they goes round in a circle. And there was another dad there and I wasn't very good at doing it. I couldn't get the technique, but this daddler to go to tho, get get get get the other, get the other, get the other, get the other, get the other, get the other, get the other, get than, get the other, get thin, get thin, get thin, get thin, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there that, and there thus thus thi, and there thi, and there was this this this this thi, and there was this thi, and there thin, and there thin, and there thin, and there thin, and there thin, and there thin, and there thin, and there, and there, and there th, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, and there thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi thi thi thin, thi thin, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, bad, but I was like, this is actually amazing, I don't have to do it. Did he do it? Look, this bloke called Tony, just spanned my kids around. I mean, he was his kid.

Did you walk up to Tony and say, could you spend my kids around? Because I'm not man enough to do it. His kid was on it, and they're all a bit overtired and then our youngest was being so naughty. So Lou rung me on the way back, she was on the motorway, went, Rob, it was the worst leaving of a house I've ever been involved in. She went, at one point, because the child locks not on anymore, our youngest just kept opening the door and running away. As it was moving, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, their, thi, thoom, their, looom, their, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, Lou, so, Lou, Lou, Lou, soo, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, Lou, soo, Lou, soo, Lou, soo, thi. Lou. Loo. Loo. Loo's, looom's, looom's, looom's, looom's, looom's, looom's, then in the end, our friends, because they were leaving the friends us, the friend's daughter was like nine, went upstairs and found two pounds in a piggy bank and said to her,

And then that's good because if she'd come home with a two, two, two, two, two, two, two, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thin, thin, the, thin, the, thin, thin, their, th. thin, th. Well, th. Well, th.

So I said to look, oh, should I get four tickets and we take them as a surprise? So anyway, we took them. Well, we got put in a box, right? Which was very swanky, so thank you very much Shania, just going to box. So it's all in a box. Can I ask about this? Well, I'll their. I'll their. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th.

Because I've been in a box at the O2 a few times now in the park. Yeah, there's like 10 seats out the front of the box. Apologies for not being relatable but I think we had quite a relatable episode the other week when you had a breakdown in your

kitchen so I think you can spare me this but so what would you say the 10 seats out the front seats out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out of of of of out of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of the front seats out of the front seats out of seats out of seats out of seats out of seats out of seats out of seats out. So. So. So. So. So. So. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, so, there's, so, so, there's, so, so, so, there's, there's, so, so, so, there's, so, the seats, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the the the the. So that yeah so like three rows of seats out the front and then there's like some stools in a little table above that and there's a big room there's no seats for people because they won't oversell the box. Yeah and exactly so there's a sort of scene for everyone. I'd say it's first come first served. Sure yeah and yeah so that's pretty and it will because when I've got my tickets the the the tickets the tickets the tickets the tickets the tickets the tickets 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. I've their. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their seats. their seats. their seats. their seats. their seats. te. one ever really... No, no no. When you're in someone's box it's basically I've got 15 people coming sit down right? Yeah. And my tickets were literally all over the place so I just wanted to because it was seat 6, 8, 615, 614. But I didn't even look at the numbers because the rule is everyone just gets in, you that you sit down. It's first come first so first so first of a sitting. Right. Right. It's right. It's right. It's right. It's right. It's right. It's right. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, to. It's, to. It's, to, to, to, the to, the to to to to to to to to to to to to the their, to to their, their, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, 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. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. th. th. the. the. the. Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their, % Josh, right? The only numbers on the seat is literally for like legal reasons of health and safety, okay? And it's always been the way. It's a free fraud. Anyway, so we're in there,

sat in there, sat down. Jamie Lang was in there. Oh right, yeah. With his partner Sophie. A Beverly Night was there and then Kara Delavine was there. Oh right. Okay, so we'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. th. that, th. th. that, th. th. that, that, that, thi. It's th. It's th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's just, like, like, like, like, the thi. It'savine wants to sit at the front, doesn't she? Yeah. And she was like, we're sat there. And I was like, oh, and then she was like talking to the P. I was like, oh, well, I just thought, we just all sit wherever. I was like, you know, we didn't want totry and sit with your group of friends. It's like, and everyone's like on board of that. I would have to sit the front actually.

And I was like, what? You had an argument with Carradilliv? And then I did have an argument. Then my mate was like, oh, we didn't know. But then we didn't know, but we actually, but, but, but, but, but, but, the, the, the, but, the, the, the, but, th. th. th. th. to. to. to, to. to. to. to. to. to, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, 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 was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, to..... to. to.. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. she was like I was actually and then my mate too was like oh would you like to sit the front she was like well yeah I was like okay and then we just sort of moved at the back but I was like everyone was looking around going that's not what you do in a box no I think she had to just sit in the front oh my god because it was like a thing and I tho I and I just thought, you're not okay, I am.

So like anything, this isn't about me or the seat, is it? No, this isn't. This isn't about your eyes. I'll be honest with you, I'm in a suite, in a box. You can see from anywhere. It literally doesn't matter. I just want to sit next to the people I know in a row. You think you're unhappy now? It's two hours fifteen to that don't impress me much. Yeah, so we got moved out of our seats by Kyle Delavine. Oh wow, well that is our greatest unreliable story we've had yet. Yeah, but I was just sort sort like, I don't really care where I sit with, I just want to sit

with my friends. Who was she with? It's just sort of three mates. They also brought their own little bottle of, you know, what's that thing people have that like, it's like they have in a spirit, but it's like like a white packaging over and a yellow top. What's that, Michael? Do you know what I'm talking about? It's like, that's it, what is it called? Angostora Bissett? So they brought their own bitters? Yeah, she brought her own biters. I'd say in bottle form and in attitude. That's it. Ang go store a bit on a bit on the side hip hip. That's it, that's it, th. And go. That's it, th. That's it, th. That's it, th. And go. That's it, th. That's it, th. That's it, th. th. that it, th. that it, that's it, that it, that it, that it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it. That's it, what it. That's it. that's it. that's it. that's it. that's it. that's it. that's it, that's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's like, th. th. th. th. th. that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's like, that's it's like, that's it's it's like, that'sthing, that little bottle jumps on. Where did she get it out of? She had in a little cup holder.

Well, in my cup holder, there was actually my seat. Because I had one seat at the front. When Lou was behind me, I was like, I'm not sitting next to Kara Delaville and the teamates apart. Yeah, oh, to make the Manhattan, that's it. A bit of whiskey, sweet, vermouth and bitter. So I think they must have been ordering something and then they were sprinkling that in. Imagine if people had just, if you'd sat next to Kara Delavine and there'd been a couple of kind of paparazzi shots, Beckett and Delavine go to to shenai and twain together. I'd say if you, if their there's there's there's there's their their there's their their their their their they, if they, if they, if they, if they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to be.

I'll, they're they're sliding scale of the kind of person that you but you're like suited to

that matches your energy and your kind of vibe I'd say I couldn't be further away from the Delavines vibe. Yeah yeah it's quite serious I think her she's got a serious actor model type yeah bitters carrier yeah I'd say I'm more loose with my mitz, yeah. I'd say in my in my life I've never considered bringing my own mixer. I know but also not even a mixer just like a little mixage. No, not a mixer. Just something to pep up. Yeah, maybe I've brought my own mixer. I've never thought what if they don't have, what if the drink's not peppy enough for me? I'll take some bit bitters just to kind of... I. I. I. I, right.

I'll take some bitters just to kind of...

Right, I'm off to Shania Twain, what do I need? A little bottle of bittars. It's like to take your own hot sauce, got me a little hot sauce. Go to make me a hot sauce out.
