Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Winnockham. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky.

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

of Ontario. Hello you're listening to Parenting Howe with. All right. Can you say Rob Beckett? of Ontario. Hello, you're listening to Parenting Howe with. All right, can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett. And Josh Whitacum? Josh Whitacum. Oh, nice. Thank you.

There we go. Oh my god, they're American. You're not going to believe what one of them is called. Okay, let me guess. We'll come to it at the end. I'm going to leave the names of the end. Chuck. Uh, no. Hello, you two sexy, relatable guys? No, it's better than that, Rob.

It's incredible. Go on. We have been listening to see you both come over. For now we have to settle for Jimmy Carr, who will be here in October. Not the same, and if you see him, you can let him know. Keep up the great work and one day we'll ask the one to see this, a live show. Yeah. So you're suggesting that Jimmy,

they only go to DC Jimmy Carr because it is the only British comic that is, that's a big US tour if you're doing Denver, isn't it? Sorry, Josh, just cracking a little brusky. Oh yeah, I'll crack a brusky as well. Now, now we get to the real crux of the excitement. Yeah, come on. Their boys have two very British names. The first one is Liam, it was 68 months.

And the second one is called Beckett. There's a first name. As a first name. How many months? 18. That's because of the show. We did think about Rob when we named us on Beckett so they don't do anything crazy to get yourself canceled and cancel the name. Have they named their child after me, Josh? Well, that's, they haven't explicitly said that, but they have said, when they chose the name, you did come up as a variable. Do you know what, that is good in a way,

because I'm not saying they named the son after me, which, oh daughter, I don't know what a Beckett, a Beckett would be. But what I'm saying is my name didn't put him off it. Exactly, exactly. Do you know what I mean? Little Beckett, I don't know what the surname is, Lindsay and Arlene from Denver, Colorado. So there you go. That's nice, isn't that little baby. Beckett, well, I get called Beckett anyway, mostly. Yeah, exactly, yeah. So it might as well be my first name.

It works. I didn't know it was a first name. Beckett. I don't know in America, it's very American. What's the Wittakam, what's the Whitacum sitch? Globally. There's a, there's a place called Widdocken, I think. I don't the, I th. I th. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. th. th. th. th. th. tha, tha, th. tho, tha, tho, tho, tha, th. No, no, but it's like, they're just like, you know when they like just make it up. It gets out because when they do all the big cities, you know what I mean, they do like London, Manchester,

Burnham, York, and then as you like move further out and get into more like non-bigger places, they're always like something called like spaffing. Running out of words. Chuff Chuff. Just like, oh let's just call this one, chuff-chuff. It's like they've given up, like, oh, mate, we've done the cities and towns, his village. I'm just called Spunk Bubble. This is called Spunk Bubble. There's a place in Devon called Westwood Ho, Rob. Westwood Ho? Westwood Ho, they's name ends an exclamation mark. There's no need for that is it? Why have they got an exclamation mark for the hoe? I don't know, Rob. They've just got an

exclamation mark. It's the only place to the exclamation mark. It's mad. That's a problem you give local councils too much power. Yeah. Before you know, you've got three bin collections a week and there's a semi colon up here at the end? Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. the the th. th. the th. the the the th. the the the the the the the the tho. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the only the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. It's th. It's tho. It's tho. It's tho. It's thoe thoe thooe. toooooe. the the the only only only only only only only only thoooe. thoe. It's thoe. It's tho collections a week and there's a semi colon up here asking you anyway yeah Beckett how's your week been as a parent? Um pretty good week actually busy yeah that's good yep I do need to issue an apology to you oh no oh yes because I um you started to talk about your your ill cats and I completely interrupted you and spoke about something else and Lou informed me and said it was very rude. So I apologize Josh, yeah. Oh God, it's fine. They're still with us. No, no, but I'm just saying you, look, at least you started sleeping on the stairs. Is that a sign of illness? Sleeping on the stairs? Well, they're so ill or are they so ill that they're so, they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're they're they're so they're so they're so 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 so, they're so, they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they're so they so ill that they put themselves there so you carry up? You know like when when your wife puts like your shoes or a book on the stairs and it's

like that needs to go upstairs. I'm I put stuff on the stairs Rob. I'm a huge put stuff on the stairs guy. Is that a bad habit? I think so. I may launch the but the only thing I launch onto the stairs, up the stairs, because we've got a little stair gate for the dogs to stop and going up, is teddies, so the dogs don't chew them. So I just launch it right. But I'm not really a put, because we've got the stairgates still there, it's sort of, I'm not really put her on the stairs kind of guys. So say you find that's, that that that that that that their that that that their that's that't think that much stuff that much stuff needs to go upstairs. What? I find actually I just don't feel like what is you need your bed the bed's already up there.

That's not how much you need up. Because I'll be honest with you Josh most of the time I'm up their time I'm even washing or sleeping you know I mean there's not a lot going on up there. So your bed's just like it's just that that much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much. It's just just just just just a that's just just a that's just that's just that's just a that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that's just that much. That's just that's that much. That's that's. That's. I that much. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's. that's. that's a that's a that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's like. that's. that's. that's. that's. that.'m upstairs, I'm even washing or sleeping. You know what I mean? There's not a lot going on up there. So your bed's just like, it's just a bed. It's like a crack den. Just like a mattress on the floor. We got a new, we got a new sheet. Look all these sheets, because they look good, but they're like, they're like, they're like, it's like, 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 just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it, it's, it, it, it, it's, 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 just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, it's just, like, like, like, like, like, it's just just just a. th. th. thi. the the the the the the the the have been woken up by the volume of your own sheets. Oh, it was like, yeah, oh, I hated it, right? And I am, I like it as soft as poss. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I'd go to sleep in a bowl of soup if it was possible. Well, for comic relief, Rob, I'm sure we can make it happen. Anyway, we got some new sheets, and I came late from a gig and I got into them and Lou had put them on and I made so many happy noises that Lou woke up. Oh, Rob. Because I've got in, I was like, oh, oh. And then I've been sleeping soundly, Josh. Sleeping soundly. I'm glad for you. I'm glad for you.

So it's good. We've been seeming sound like we had a yes day for the kids. Oh yeah, you love them, don't you? It's kind of you have to do what they say. Yes. The only problem with the yes day is though in public they'll say, ask for something and we'll go to say no, and then my daughter screams the end word. And and it looks like we are horrifically racist. And also like you have no power of your children as well. You know also as well that they're the like the moral barometer in the family.

Yeah yeah. Like come on down right. Sunday just keep that indoors that kind of shirt. You got a public profile that. Come on screw your head back on boy. I'd say what do they? Are they going to get to an age where yes day is like awkward? Like where they can, the things are asking for is just... Well, they've already asked for their ears pierced.

So the yes day sort of, really, the yes part of it, because they're a bit older now, is more just like, can I pour a cup of water on your head? And you're like, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you can. So what did you do with the ears pissed? No, I was like, no, when you're older, I like, come on, mate, let's draw a line somewhere. But they went, they came down the stands. And they went, I, I, I, I, I, the, 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, 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, so, so, to....... the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, t t the, t t t t t the, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you've had enough, you know, trying to be at your parents.

And then they went, Dad, can you eat your breakfast naked? And I was like, I can't, I know it's yesterday, but that, I can't do that. That's mental. It's humiliating. Yeah, just feeling that cold chair on your nut sack as you tuck into a bowl of brown flakes. Yeah, also, that's not a child's their their their the the the the the the the the thii that's a child that's a child that's a child that's a child that's a child that's that's thi. I's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. I's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. I's that. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I. I I, I's. I I's. I I I's. I I's. I I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's that's that's that's that's that's th. I's not. I's not. I's not. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. th. th. th. today. th. that's like, I'm that's like, I'm that's like, I that's that's that's that's on your nut sack as you tuck into a bowl of brown flakes. Yeah, also, that's not a childhood memory, they actually won. That's not what you want, is it? That's not... You don't want to be thinking, I remember when I was seven and my dad sat with his knob out while I ate pancakes and too much honey on. But it was yesterday!

I said no, but I had a towel and forget out of the shower. As a side, as a side note, it's a similar thing but I don't know what to do about it. So my children bath together, yeah. Yeah. So they get on really well, you know, 85% of the time and then they hate each other, 15% of the time, which I'd say the ratio is far higher than we were worried about before having a second child of good. I'd say our ratio's got better since the end of the summer holidays. That ratio really dropped off a cliff by the last week, but now they're friends.

I totally agree. So they bathed together and they love it. But one of the things they've done they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've their. it. But one of the things they've done is my daughter is, likes to go and go teach him to swim. And by doing that she lies, she lies back and then he'll lie on top of her and kind of swim and they'll both love it but they're essentially in the missionary position rule. It's so cute but so horrible. But there's nothing going, and they, it's a fun game for them playing swimming, but when they lie in that position, I can't help but go, I know what that position is in the adult

world. Yeah, I mean, did it joke your memories? It reminds you of it, ah, Ah, lovely bit of business, Rob. I got there first. You got there first. I'm not eating from somewhere. Yeah, what's that? That reminds me of them.

Yeah, I think what? They'll probably grow out of that before we make it weird. I think it makes it we we're weirder if I go, could you not do not, that, that does, mate. It's like when I was sort of like showering my trouser at my pants on and stuff. But I wasn't gonna go in striped naked to eat cereal and eat a pancake, but I ate it with my towel on topless. Imagine if, imagine if the postman came to the door and you sat there, dick out, eat your cereal. seeing two children. Can you sign for this? Yes I can. It's Yes Day. Come in. No, don't worry, this isn't weird. I'm just doing what my children asked for. Yeah, this is what they

wanted. Don't blame me, blame them. If anyone's getting judged in here, it's not me. It's not me and my dick's judge free. My dick's trying to do a good thing for his children. So taught me through the rest of yesterday because I'm loving it. Right. Well, so the origin of yes days, rather than I'm not a big fan of going, if you get a ten out of ten in your spellings or if you do that well in your guitar or football or whatever it is you do, I'm not really an ability-based kind of incentive guy when it comes to child management. We give it, basically my daughter's ages ago and she was really upset and having dreams and she told us what she was upset about and she told us about and she told us about what she was upset about and she told us what she was upset about and she said, any other daughter,

she told us about some worries and she saw their told her, their told us, she said, their bloc, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was...... was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was.... And, was, was, was, was, was. And, was, was, was. And, was. And, was, was, was a. And, was a. to. to. to. to. to. told. to me. told. to me. told. to. told. to. told. to. to. told. told. told. told. told, was some worries, she had at school and stuff. So we give, when they communicate with us and tell us their worries, because it doesn't matter what the worry is, but telling us is the thing they're awarded for, which opens like, and we do like, we do bubble time and have family meetings and stuff now. Yeah, but yeah, so anyway, obsessed with sloths and it just so happens that it made us look like magic parents that Drusilla's Park which is about an hour and 20 minutes away from us have sloths and a baby sloths and you can feed them. Amazing. So we went

down to Drusilla's Park. Have you ever been Drusilla's Park? No but I saw the pictures on Lou's Instagram. Yeah it's really good actually. It's like it's better for you I think it'd be perfect for your age age for to be perfect for to be perfect for to be perfect for to be perfect for your to be perfect for your to be to to be to to to the to the to to the the the to the to the the to the to to be to be to to be to be to to to be to the the to be to be to to to to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a their.

So they're about, so I'd say there's rides there that my kids are sort of enjoyed, but they're getting slightly too old for already, but there's loads of animals and stuff. So if you've got little toddlars, it's a perfect age. And then they're, I'll say, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'll that's that's that's that's that's that's they. I'll they. I'll they. I'll they. they.

I'd they mate. It was a really magical day, but the main thing I'm taking away from it is the smell of monkey piss when I walk past one of the monkey enclosures. And I know there's not much of zoo can do about that, because if it's pissed, it's pissed and then they go, and the rest of them smelled fine,

but they were, I over the wall, but maybe that's why it smells so bad, that's how intelligent they are. This is funny, Josh, and I don't know, there was a late, there's like a cheater, there's like a ride thing on it, and there was a lady on it, with like a probably 10 month old baby and then a two-year-old kid the kid, and she wanted to hold the baby, and to, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th, th. th, th. th, th, th, th. th. th, th, th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. This, th. This, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee, thee,. She had to sit behind holding the baby and the kid sit in the front. The kid was quite scared. So she was like, oh God, I didn't know what to do because she had to. So I said, do you always hold your baby? She said, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, podcast, man, yes, and gave me the baby was fine when she saw the mom because it was a circular ride that went around like a carousel. When the mom was out of vision the baby completely lost its shit but then was absolutely fine again when the

mom came around? So it was like isn't thatthat weird? Just because we do a podcast about parents, people just give me their children. Yeah. It's a holder. That is weird. It is weird, isn't it? But it was nice. You got to go on the ride of a kid. That is nice. Because in my head I'd have thought you want me to sit with your child on the ride.

But of course that wouldn't have that that that that that that that that that that that that that their that their that that thoombuen't have that that their that that their that weird. And of course it's yesterday so I would be on it naked. Sorry everyone, but it is my children's yesterday actually. How did yes day end? So yesterday ended with a Waggamamas deliverer who? Because that's where they wanted for dinner. I'd say that's a, that's quite a curveball for children to eat, isn't it, Waggama's? That's quite an achievement. Well, do you know what, I think we hit McDonald's slash Chippenburgers so hard when they were little in a sort of almost disgusting way that I can imagine little people judge me for, and that's fine, each them. I think they've actually hit, I think they've actually tapped out on it now,

and they're like Wagamamas. They're like. They're like. They're like. And they're like Wama and pizza and pizza and pizza and pizza and pizza and pizza and pizza and pizza week to keep each other company in the suburbs. And I took him yo sushi as well on Saturday, but they, I mean, this makes it sound like, oh that must be quite exciting for a kid. Yeah, but they just have plain pasta, they have plain noodles and plain rice that then I have to order separately then go to the end of the conve conve the the the the the the the the the conve conve conve conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conve the conveyor the conveyor the conveyor the the the the of of the the the the of of of of of of of as well their s. their s. their s. their their their as well as well as well as well as well as well as well as well their s and then their s. their s and then their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their s. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their s.

I reckon I had about 13,000 calories and spent about 200 quid because they just kept on taking it and you can't pop it back up. Because I've had two of them. Of course. Of course. Of course. Of they.

But yeah, so they did that. What else was, yeah, feeding the soft was amazing and that was good. Until, and I've never seen Lou and the kids laugh so much, who was feeding it sweet corn. There was two of them, one with a baby. And then it gave it like a cucumber like this seven inch cucumber right yeah it's chewing away on the cucumber then it threw it on my head what I won't look in the

the Suffolkley's the slough which is a great pun a sloughglis yeah drops a cucumber on my head from about eight foot I felt a bit dazed the kids kids, I thought were going to explode with laughter. Can you imagine being five and a sloth drops a cucumber on your dad's head? I was like, I was like, I'm a comedian, I was like, stuff like that. Why am I the head? That's probably a highlight of your childhood, isn't it? What did you do? Well, laughed it, I was absolutely furious. Yeah, yeah, you can't react can you? Talk about don't drop a cucumber on the head that feeds you. I was literally feeding it. And did you give it back? No. The zookeeper lady just sort of picked

it up and put it in a bucket, but if you want to save the sloths that, Drusilla's park, thinnighthas, thi, th, th, th, th, their, th, th, th, their, th, their, their, their, th, their, th, their, their, their, thiioluillope, thrusha'a'a'a'a'a'a'nip, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, their, their, their, don't, their, don't, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's their, don't, don't thing for slough so go on. Oh nice. Small business shout out in the middle, a slough fundraising, it's a charity thing they do. But that was good, really good. I would recommend you and you're, because it's not too far either for you. Yeah, that's good. I want to get through the tunnel, I always say them. Yeah, we're having fucking animal obsessed with Rob. I told you. They've got a beaver Josh. Oh come on now. And it's so hard not to do beaver jokes when you're... yeah. You just all, I'm a dad. I just, nice beaver. You absolutely loving it. Is that what you

would, is that he described your relationship? Rolls her eyes deep down, absolutely loving it. I found out, I found out, I found out, I found out, I found out, I've to pretend she had the ike, but I found out I've got a party trick, Josh. Oh no. They have these massive long poles, they look like look like, with a buzzer on top, that you're supposed to climb up to see if you can climb like a sloth and I zipped up there. Have you seen on my Instagram? Did you? No. Go on my Instagram and I didn't know I could do it but basically I used to do it when it was a kid on my washing line at home in the garden to just climb up there. But you've got, um, very gripe feet. Yeah I think it's more my core of my incredible calves that powered me up there rather on my freak feet. Look at you go! And that is quite quite impressive isn't it? Blamey. But that's my party trick now so. That's your party trick now.

It does look good doesn't it? I think I had a party trick but now but I do need to bring a 10 foot pole to the party. Look that is really that. That. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. That is really. th. that is really. that is really. th. that is really. that is really. that is really that is really th. th. the that is really th. th. th. that is th. th. that is 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. that. th. that is that is quite. that is quite. that is quite. that is quite that. I. I. I. I. I. I that is quite. I. I that is quite. I. I that is quite. I that is quite that is quite. I. I that is quite. I. I that is good. I've zoomed up there by the ninja warrior UK. Yeah but that's all I can do. If I have to hold my body weight without my legs, I'll fall off immediately. I think that's your feet. It's the way, do you know what? Do you know what? Oh God, your exit's a little, um. Be honest with the dismount, I didn't know what to do. The freeze frame at the end you could have worked on that when you're uploading. I put like an emoji over my really red sore face.

Yeah. Yeah. A bloke come along with his girlfriend and tried to have a go. He was doing it with his like shoes on and then he took him off. He was doing it with his shoes on. And he went, he he s-I took took took took took then slipped right down. He went, oh no, I can't do it with socks. And he took his socks off and then tried bare feet and then he slipped back down again. And then he slipped back down again and then he slipped back down again and then just walked off bare feet and his girlfriend picked off his shoes and followed it. Oh my God, that is so good. Oh I wish I'd seen that. Do you know what you've got very loose, much looser than me? Is what are the bits that join your kind of your legs to you, you know the two inside bits? Growing? Your the groin, your groin, you've got such a loose groin Rob.

You know what? You know, I've had a past. And, yeah, pretty loose groin. But the way you've got your legs out is incredible. Well, I think I'm hyper mobile, so I'm quite flexible. And I've got quite strong legs. So that's the only reason I can do that. I'm not, I'm so heavy to, I'm quite heavy to. I can't thak, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm quite, I'm, I'm quite, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm way about 14 stones, so it's got, I'm quite heavy to, I can't do it. If it was just my arms, I fall off straight away,

but I've got a strong leg, so. Yes, that's my party trick now. That's good, yeah. Could you do that on a rugby post maybe? I'm just trying to think of other players. Could you do it on a lamppost. Probably if I' I I I I I I I I I the old, if I th. th. th. celebrating to sort of do that. We lost we lost this weekend Rob heartbreakingly we've lost three of our games right and you're are you going to watch it at Wembley with Vernon Kaye he's normally always there I'm going

next weekend I'll be honest Rob yeah I and I don't do it on purpose and you'll be when you mention something on this, you do just get approached about it. Blow jokes, are the amount... Sorry Josh, carry on. Before you know it, Rob, you're gonna have a free post in your garden. It's unbelievable, like a free big metal post in your garden. I'm gonna have a scoffold. Yeah, but it's just how sad our lifestyle. We don't really mention anything that. I know, this week I got offered NFL tickets and a kettle. You've got to take the kettle. Fuck the NFL, mate, the kettle situation.

Have you got a kettle yet? I've been away. I'd argue can afford a kettle and you probably want to pick one that goes to your kitchen. Yeah, whereas the NFL thing is sold out. So it's like, well, that's, I'm definitely up for that. And thank you, I genuinely thank you for all the kettle offers, but I'd almost feel too guilty taking the kettle.

Why? Why do you feel the we take it a kettle? Because, well, if next week, Rob, during our conversation you hear me drop a brand of kettle in six times, then you'll know that I, the guilt was a strong-down to the one. Okay, fair enough. Your mom hates it when you leave six half-full glasses on your nightstand. It's a good thing mom lives on the other side of the country. And it's and it's and it's and it's and it's and it's and it's and it's and it's th th th th, and it's th, and it's th, and it's th, and it's th, and it's th, and it's a the their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th..

I don't want to come across it's all gone too well, Josh on here. I've got accused of my daughter. And that's, you can't come up on my fucking grid. You don't come up on the grid. You know, my grid just, I've just liked to load your photos so that you come up as some that I'm interested in.

Because the problem is, yeah. Your grid reinforces itself. It just cuts down to about eight different people that you haven't really chosen. I know. The algorithm's mental, it gets real like hardcore. And then when you like those, you just get stuck with those people so you just forget the other people. Okay, don't you know you're posting on the tree. There there there.

There go, I don't tell you mine. Cold War Steve. Cold War Sd. in the teeth. Also, my grid's just videos all the time now. Yeah, don't tell me about it, mate. It's just gone tick-tick-tick-tick and it, Instagram. Yeah, and Paul McCartney's the next one. I never look at him. So I've got accused of being a liar. I can read the note out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, I've got it in front of me now. Do daddy lied to me, lied exclamation mark like Westwood Ho. And then there's a drawing of a face with wow, wow, wow, wow. And tears coming out of the face.

Who drew that? The eldest. Because her handwriting is, got so much anger in it that it looks like an adult's handwriting, like it's scrawled fast. The N, yeah the end. She scribbled it out quick. It looks, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, tho, tho, like, tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, 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. thi, thi, thi, the, the. thi, exclue, exclue, exclue, exclue, exclue, exclue, exclue, excl's scrawled fast. The N, yeah the end, she scribbled it out quick. It looks like Lou's done it Rob. Right, okay. Well, do you think she's just forced to blame on the children? And that is her? Oh no, no, because she's put daddy. I take it back, it's not it's not Lou. So it's definitely Lou. And so it did you lie about? Asked my daughter said, I can't remember. So I'd say it's probably an over, to write that no, I think you'd probably

remember the day after, wouldn't you? I think she said to her, like, oh, you said, mommy was going to come in and give me a hug when she came home for a night out. And I was like, how am I in trouble here? She's out in the piss and didn't come and give you a hug and I'm in trouble but she might have done it because they just sleep anyway but they sometimes if we go out want to be woken up when we come in to be given a hug but I'm like that's never good because I've tried it once I just looked at you like a ghost to you that I love football more than them because I was watching football. That's true. And I'll tell you what, I'll be honest with you, that Liverpool Tottenham game was so much drama that at one point I think I did. If I'm honest. So, taught me through, so you'll have the football on in the background.

Football on is on, when football's on, it's on at least one telly all weekend. That's my life. Really? Who are you? Jeff Stelling? Yeah. Like... No, I'm a man enjoying himself, Josh. And that's what you should do to. Steeke the football on in the background. If they don't like it, they can play. I'm just not into it anymore. What are you into? I don't know, but I'm not that fussed about football anymore, except Plymouth Argyle. But yeah, I do need, I'm looking for new hobbies because my... How's your drawing? You was doing a drawing course? I just haven't got the time, Rob, so I don't really need new hobbies. Yeah, actually. If you had the time, what would your hobby be?

I don't know, Rob. But do you know what the football gaps left? I've just gone off the Premier League and I need something. I'm looking. I'm on the... I've got zero gaps. My sport intake is obscene at the moment. I can't. I actually couldn't go to sleep Saturday night because I was so ever excited.

About the Rider Cup? Well, there was a bit of Rider Cup on. There was football on at midday, and then there was that Tottenham Liverpool game, which was amazing. And then I'm straight into the boxing under zone, then there was boxing on Sky Sports, then there was a Canello fight, and I got my Nintendo Switch EA FIFA game delivered. I was buzzing off my nut. And at one point, I texed my Feefah game, I was thrown. My God it's 1 a.m. and it's only the main events only just started and it's like what you're talking about and I realize I'd Pools the ages ago to buy someone on my FIFA game forgot I was two hours behind Josh Oh my god. I think I bet till three oh my word

It's great your life your life is so different to mine now you've moved the country and just have sky sports and sit alone watching it and playing FIFA on your switch. Also, we've got a very different day today. I know you've got a busy day because we want to find out about your week because you're working quite a lot, but I'd say we've got complete opposite days today. Talk me through your day. So we met at 8 a.m. to do a podcast. We're interviewing a guest straight after this. So we should be done at 1030, correct? Yeah, yeah. And then I'm finished for the day. Oh, you fucking.

And then I'm going to go for a nice dog walk with Lou. Oh no. And then I'm popping up to the Royal Albert Hall to listen to Eckartoulay about the power of now living in the moment and trying to continue to be awakened. I'm so jealous. What you to to to to to, Rob. My whole life's busy at the moment. I've got three more days. Yeah, talk us through your week. So, I'm filming away with Nish at the moment and we did Benadorm. Benadorm. Benadorm. Benadorm. A little little holiday before you started filming. Yeah, yeah, exactly. four days of filming in Benadorm.

You've got to remember also he can drink. Yes, yeah, if he drinks, well you can drink, that's not your problem. You can do it, you can do it. I can do it. I'll say well you can do it. Don't be you can do it. Don't be yourself there, you can do it. You can do it. That. That's. That. That. That. That. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

anything it's so good, hey, they had to ban it. Carlsberg be drinkers, they'd be you. Yeah, it's an interesting place, isn't it, Rob? He used to go there on holiday. Yeah. I've never seen so many old drunk people in my life. I've never seen so many 70 year olds having a pint with breakfast. Yes that always threw me I mean like because me and my family we used to live live so stay nearby to Benadorm in a place called Havia which was really quite nice it was touristy but a bit more Spanish had a nice old town and stuff where we would go to Benadorn for day trips where because my mom went dad wouldnto have fish and chips when we were away.

Because they liked the fish and chips, because it was proper fish and chips. So we'd go there so they could have some English food and then we'd buy fake football shirts and go on the amusements and stuff. And we loved it as kids. I've not, I've not been back since I was a kid. I feel like I've had my film. It's the first time I've ever felt like there's an edge at hotel breakfast. There's an edge. Like you know when you go in a bar and you think there's an edge to this. Right. In the evening, yeah. It's the first time I've ever felt that a hotel breakfast. It's the first time I've ever felt that a hotel breakfast. It's the first time I've ever been sat at a hotel breakfast thinking I might get out of it before it all kicks off because there's a lot of people there's a lot of people who've had too much to drink it. Oh dear. So then we got home,

so I've had such a time of it Rob in terms of, you know I had that 5 a.m. So then I got home at 3 a.m. What from Benadol? From Benadol? Yeah. Um, on Thursday night. So then it was my time.

What's the last flight back from Benadormlight? It was the 1120 and... From Alicante? Yeah, the 1120 from Alacante. It was good. I had a nice chat. We were in the front row, you know a lovely chat with the, Stuart, had a lovely chat with her, she was really nice. And then we landed and she was like, my colleague wants a photo with you, I was like, yeah, that's fine.

She said, he's stuck at the back of the plane, you're right for everyone else to get off first? Fuck off, no. On the 1120, go, no, bring him down here. And I was like, yeah, and then after about 10 people, no, after about 10 people, I got off, I realized how long it was gonna take, I was like, I'm really sorry, I've got to go. Yeah, that's fair enough. Once, Josh, I was probably about 30, come over and went,

excuse me, do you mind if I sit there? I went, and I'll, like, my seat, I was like, pardon, do you have to sit there at the front and my seat's like, road 11? And I went, no, no, I'm sitting. She was sort of like, trying to be like sort of flirty. Was it Kara deli'evine? Yeah. She went, I went, no. She went, oh, I just would be really nice to sit there. Yeah, I imagine it would, yeah.

And if you want to do it here, just book it early and pay the extra. I'm just gonna be sitting here actually. And I'm thought, that must have worked in the past. Yeah, that kind of in the first time. She looks, the way she came up was as if like it was nailed on. And I felt like, and if you are that kind of like that we would have given it up, just you are pathetic. Yeah, yeah, grow up. That is awful.

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 Klein's suspense. Something's not right with him. I've always wanted a family like yours. James McAvore will scare you speechless. Oh! We're going to kill us.

We're just sad to see you go. Speak no evil. Only in theaters now. Switch to Freedom Mobile and get 50 gigs to use in Canada the US and Mexico for just 35 bucks a month for 18 months. That's all the savings, none of the worries. Conditions apply. Details at FreedomMobile.c.c.a. How was a school run on three hours late? conditions apply. Details at Freedom Mobile.c.C.A. And how was a school run on three hours sleep? School run was lovely. School run was very pleasant.

I love doing the school run, Rob. I like the school run. My youngest has started kicking off about going in. So that's hard now. Oh, that's tough. Yeah. But I think it's because she's in year one now, so it's like the reception year is literally just do as much playing as you want. And the new one's a bit more like, right, actually, we're learning stuff now. And it's a bit like, so I think it's just a bit of a settling in process because my

other daughter was like that as well, my old daughter's daughter. But yours is good. Yeah, I tell you what, because my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son,the same building as my daughter's school. So, it's what, for the first time in my life, I'm dropping them both off in the same place at the same time. That's good. And it feels fucking good, Rob. It's so good.

Imagine that it's going to be so good like the once every six weeks you get to do that. I'm back for good all summer. This is it now. One summer, it's October. This is, I've gone, all summer. All the time, I've gone mental. I'm back for the whole summer now. It's October. It's October. It's October. Yeah. Get this. There's been a coup.

A bloodless coup. A bloodless coup? A bloodless coup. I don't think I'm the class rep anymore, but I don't think I've been told. Oh, I knew this happened to me. They're sneaky. I've been in government. So what's happened? Someone else has just started forwarding on the messages.

Have you not been forwarding them on? No, no, they, they, they, they, they, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th on? to the group. No, no, no, they're not coming to me anymore, Rob. So you're in the group that you need to forward it onto, and then you've got another group that would be live for the message. So the class, so there's a, there's the head of the parents network, and she sends them to to to to to to the the the groups the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the reps, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, they.a, they.a, theyroupes.a.a.a.a.a.a.a, their, their, their, their, the, their, the reps, the reps who then forward it onto the class. Right, and you're not getting them from the head of the parent network, but you own a group that is getting the messages into it. Yeah, you're over. You're gone. I've gone. I've gone. But no one's told you. But no one's told you. And you're going to be up there doing the quiz again. One of the messages was the announcement of...

One of the messages was the announcement of my quiz. That you weren't entrusted to deliver. The Christmas quiz with Josh will be on December the 6th. Yeah, it got forwarded onto my group by the new class rap. So who is it? Who sends it? He's a lovely bloke and so is the woman who runs the parents network. So yeah, no, no, no, there's no shade here. But like what's it's, is he working full-time this guy? Like, yeah, yeah, he's got a

high-powered job. And he's still managing to do it and all you're doing is eating a really hot curry in Bradford. I don't, you know, sometimes we tha they tha, they, they, t. they, th. th.'d say at the moment nobody's jealous of yours. No they're not Rob, like yesterday I had the hottest curry in Bradford. Oh actually reverse that pretty jealous. What was it like? It was it's brought out. They have to clear the kitchen when they're cooking it and the one guy who cooks it as to have a gas mask. And you ate it? I ate that, I ate it, right? Yeah, didn't it have some? Yeah, he finished his. He got the certificate and they... The little honky, little white boy struggled. Yeah, I know I had about two-thirds of mine.

Last night I got back to my hotel, I got back to the hotel, and I had to rush back to the hotel room at half eight and I didn't leave. I didn't go back down for dinner because I couldn't be that far away from a toilet. And then I woke up this morning, and I spent half an hour on the toilet again. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in I'm in a the the th. I'm in a th. I'm in a th. I'm in a th. I'm in a th. thi. the the the thiol-up. the the the the the the this morning and I spent half an hour on the toilet again, I'm in a bad way. Because when the filming stops, the thing is when the filming stops, your body's still got to process that. You can't say to your body, yeah, but I did this for filming so you can't punish me in my own time. Well Alexander Armstrong actually, consumed, he doesn't actually go to the toilet. His body just repurposes it. That's how he can work so much.

He doesn't actually shit or piss. It just gets regenerated within his body. And before you know, he's given you a couple of quirky questions about, you know, you know, brands or films. Can't wait for us to talk to Alexander. You can't make Josh Willakum eat the world's toy's curry and if you can't film for two hours because he's shitting himself, they have to just, that's the bed they're lying in. So what should I do about my coup Rob?

Oh, I think you can, basically remain silent and just let it pass or you can make it slightly awkward and go so am I not the class rep anymore or you can try to make a joke out of that I'm not going to do that I'm not going to do that I thought I'm thoughs but then I thought Jesus God there's no way of making that joke without it sounding better yeah but how busy have you got to be like busy is in the term of fucking the the the the the the the the the their the their their their their their the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. to their so. I's their so. I'm so. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. I'm so. I's to be. I's to be. I's so. I's is so. I's is so. I I I I I's is so.

So, to. like busy is in the term of fucking jobs worth you got to be to start taking the reins on class rep because that's what happened to me where someone said oh who's a class rep they went oh Robert really it's Lou and yeah sure I went to Australia for five weeks but I've got a phone I can see stuff that so you got the but your coup was in your own house yeah yeah yeah yeah Lou just basically they just everyone they're just they're just everyone just everyone just everyone just everyone just everyone just everyone just just just just everyone they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're just just just just just 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they they're they they're they're the the the the they they they they they they they're they they're they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're when builders only speak to them bloak in the house and be a bit sexist. Yeah, yeah, at the school, that's what, it is a bit like the school gates when you're a dad. It is a bit like, oh yeah,

I'm actually actively trying to leave WhatsApp group. So I'm... Are you? Yeah, so I'm not really in a WhatsApp group for my youngest daughters. I'm in a class group for my eldest daughters, but the classes have moved around. There's two, there's like two classes in a year, and they sort of swap their thes in thes in thes in thes in a year, and a year, and the the the an the an the an the an the an the, and the, and thee thee thee, thee, thee, thee, so thee, so, so, so, so, somea, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, some, some, some, 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, th...

So I'm actually in a group now with parents whose kids aren't actually in the same class but in the same year. I'm going to slowly sort of check out of that one and then the only group I'm in is the school dad's five-and-side football group. Unbelievable. So that's the aim. Absolutely. Just to be in that group. Incredible. I just sort of think if any anything that important they'll ring us. Oh I found a really just just just just just just just a really really really to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. thue. thue. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho the the their their their tho thi. their thi. thi. tho. tho. to 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 thi. thi. thi. thi. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to respect it. You've got to respect the hustle. I just sort of think if anything that important, they'll ring us.

Oh, I found a really good way to, oh, two things, little tips, parenting tips. One, if they like yo sushi, you can get a little train set and you can put bowls of food on the train. And you can put bowls of food, like that little. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's good. Oh, that's good. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th.

Have you taught your kids to tie the shoelaces yet? No. Is that tough? Well, I thought it was, but I found there's a thing online, an Instagram I should try

and share it. at the top of your shoes you normally got like there's a little spare hole yeah right at the top if you put the the shoelace in that hole so you've got like two loops you basically cross them and this is impossible to describe you can't you cannot describe I've never known less what you mean in my life are you okay I'll just get up it is impossible to do it but I might I might do it I'll tell I'll do it I'll the the the the the the the the the the the tell the the the tell the the tell the the tell the the the tell the the the tell tell the the the tap the to the to the the their their their their to their.
