Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Before you know, Ron, your kids will be saying, Dad, I've rented for an extortionate amount, a tiny basement flat on Camden High Street because I can see life there.

His brother Kai has done a great job at helping me teach Jesse how to say your names. I love your podcast. It's got me through what's been a really tough year. It makes me feel I'm not totally messing this parenting stuff up. I look forward to my lunchtime walks on Tuesday and Friday when I often get looks from people as I'm laughing so loud. Nehart. Good luck trying to pronounce that. I have 446 months from Chiltern in Digcot in Oxfordshire in the UK. In the UK, big up. Chiltern in Digot in Oxfshire in the UK. Is she right? She just found where she's living.
Starting point is 00:04:36 It's what used to do when you're a kid, wasn't it? And you'd write your dress and like Earth. The Milky Way? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't understand space. Let's not get them to that now. I don't understand that we in the Milky Way. I really don't know, is that bad? No, and there's other universes, are then? I don't know. What a universe is, Rob?
Starting point is 00:04:57 It's all so far away. This doesn't make me as excited as it should maybe. You know what I mean? I think it scares me actually, it scares me off. Me too. And then all I think about is the end of men in black when the aliens are playing marbles with all the little worlds. Yeah. And then I think, wall man. Do you reckon it feels like there were like 18 year olds having a split of that at the end of many black black black black black black. the the the the the theory, Rob? Can't give you a split theory. Right? You know like AI is getting so good and so realistic
Starting point is 00:05:32 that you're going to get to a point where everything is as good as real life, everything feels like real life. Yeah. And so there'll be loads of worlds which are feel like real life but they're not real. Yeah. There'll only be one real world. Yep. And so the odds are that the one you're experiencing at this moment isn't the real world Rob. I feel like that sometimes. Do you? Yeah. But also though sometimes AI is ruining things he's going to take over like real humans jobs but then sometimes like I'll deal with someone in a shop or out and about or the the the the the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they they they're they're they're they're they'll they're they're they'll they're they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho they're they're they're they're they're ruining things, he's going to take over real humans' jobs. But then sometimes, like, I'll deal with someone in a shop or out and about or on customer service when you ring up. And I think, I don't think they are human anyway. They need a new word.
Starting point is 00:06:15 You know, some of them people, I think, how'd you get by each day? What's the end of your day? How th, I th, I th, I th, I th, 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, th, th, th. th. tho, tho, th. th, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. I'll, th. I'll, th. I'll, th. I'll, th. I'll, th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thooooo. thoo. thoo. thi. thooo. I'll, thi. I'll, thi. I'll, thi over the cafe? Anyway, you've got your camera off. I've got my camera off because I've been getting, well not, I mean getting that much grief, but my backdrop was football shirts, wasn't it? Because you've got a lovely backdrop, a sort of buzzing office with personality, or things you like. Yeah. And mine was football shirts because I was trying to sound proof of my office and that's all I had and that's all I've got really and I'm not I'm not very good at making stuff look pretty lose very good at this Lou makes our house wonderful yeah has Lou come in and done this no
Starting point is 00:06:53 anyway so I found something in my office so I can use my backdrop so let me know what you think could be my backdrop for a bit oh no oh no oh do you that is lamest thing I've ever seen in my life. That is pathetic. Do you explain to the listener? Yeah, it is the traditional social media. James Bond kind of intro, what would you describe as artwork? It's always like an eye or a bull's eye circle.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah, the eye where Bond is in his tucks holding a gun and then the classic is like the blood is coming down. Yeah. But instead of bond, it's a quite inaccurate artist's impression of what Rob looks like. Why is it inaccurate? So we should say it's four foot wide, two foot high. Yes, it's huge. Yeah, of Yeah of course yeah I didn't know the exact dimensions but it's a full backdrop. I mean look it's it's bigger than my own head. It's like oh my god yeah he's bigger than you fucking how. Because it's quite far away actually so they're trying to read just isn't how big it is. Yeah exactly because it's quite far back so. Bly how that is something else isn't it. The problem is it's going I to to to to to to to to to 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. 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 th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. ti. ty. ty. ty. ty. ty. too. ty. try. today. ty. try. thi. thi.? The problem is it's going to have to be explained every single time.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So what, sorry, you haven't even explained it to me? It's a giant bond thing but me as bond. I don't know. No shit, yeah. Okay, thanks the explanation. I'm not even a massive bond fan. Someone just sent it to me and said,'t know why I did it. But I don't know what you do with it. He spent ages on it it's something. He's done it really well. He's brilliant. If you want a photo of you, if you want
Starting point is 00:08:28 yourself as bond and he's very, very kind with what I look like on it. I look very handsome. Well, I'd say what it is. It's not that it doesn't you know who it is. It's much sharper than you. Yeah I'm a bit of a drag on it. I think I need to up my game and be sharper, but I can't be bothered. I wouldn't suit you. It wouldn't suit you. Anyway, how are you, Josh, all right? Thought it was off school? This week was looking so good. I'd like nailed it. Yeah. Yeah. Because Rose has gone away? a puzzle trainer. So we got, get this, Rose needs to go to Cornwall to carry on sorting out this house we're doing. We've got our house is full of the furniture for that house. What, you're London house.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Our London house is full of the Cornwall furniture because she's been ordering it to here. Lovely, that's a nice little thing to arrive, isn't it? Yeah, so you you you you you you you you you you you you that you that that that you that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thia. thia. thia. thia. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can basically have to shimmy through the hallway. Yeah. So my parents were gonna come up to see us, times with my dad has a van so it can take the stuff down to Cornwall. Right, so I've, I time- I'm just gonna deliver to Cornwall. Rob, you're preaching to the the place. Your eyes are seen. Because call me a prude, I sort of get stuff delivered to the place it needs to be.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Well, do you know what? Call me old-fashioned. Yeah, that's one way of doing it wrong. The other way is to have a chest, two chests of drawers in your hallway by the door for a month. And to get a man to drive up from Devon, to London, back to Cornwall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Yeah. So anyway, my parents come up this week so they can help me cover the child care. Yeah. And then drive back. All sorted. That's fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Tonight, I'm even going to something because my parents. So I've got child care today for my son because I'm working all day. Yeah. And bedtime sorted.

Yeah, you're happy next currently on the train to Cornwall with the dickie dummy. Oh no! Yeah. My daughter was off school

It's all right, mate.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You've got to do what you got. This is part and part. This is what the podcast is, isn't it? Oh, man. It's just juggling. I had everything. I had everything. You know what?
Starting point is 00:12:34 to me. Oh, I've got I've got bleak news Rob. Okay, go on. It's a new feature, bleak news. Well, I thought I'd save it because there was talk of my cat. My cat has passed away, Rob. So she had an illness that couldn't be fixed. Yeah. And then she had a stroke, Rob. Was a cat? Yeah, which is very difficult to tell people. Because of the context of a cat. They love. T the the the the their. the the their. their. the their. their. th. th. their. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. their their their their their their that's thi. their that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their their the. the. the. teatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheatheathe. t. tell people because of the context of a cat. They love a stroke. They love a stroke. That's the problem, isn't it? So you say it's not the ideal medical term for a cat. Yeah, you need a new one for cat something. Yeah, so she had a stroke. It was very sad. So we had to take her to be put down. It was absolutely fucking brutal. It was hardcore, Rob. Yeah. Because I had to take her. Have you ever had an animal put down? No, I've had a couple of hamsters go but they're just basically you wake up the morning they're not moving. I was
Starting point is 00:13:34 bawling my eyes out Rob in Goddard Vets surgery at Wonstett. So they brought me a cup of tea like I was a kind of someone who'd just been in a motor crash. What am I fucking 200 years old? Yeah, no, I've never been, I've never, I've never seen it. It must be brutal, especially you've had a long time. How long did you have it? So we've had her eight years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Actually, it's quite a good check on how long I was suffering from anxiety, it was for us eight years. Because the first time we got the cats, I thought I was allergic to them because I was able to breathe shallowly. But actually, it turned out that that was the first time that my body had gone, you're doing too much work. Right, okay. And you blamed the cats. So I got back from last leg down under. two cats. Yeah, I could barely breathe and I thought it was the cats and I went to the doctor and I said,
Starting point is 00:14:25 do you think I'm allergic to cats? They said yeah you're allergic. It wasn't it was Alex Brooker and Adam Hills. You're allergic to disabled people it turns out? It turns out I'm allergic to disabling me. Terrible for you in your job. Yeah, but it wasn't it was anxiety. It was anxiety. Anyway, she had a good innings. Our other cats just started sitting in really weird places since. Oh no, so yeah, very high places. My daughter was very upset on day one. Of course. And then a week later, Rose was still upset, said to me about it, my daughter. And my daughter said, why are you still going on about that? That was ages ago. It's sort of true though, isn't it? Kids are, you know what, kids absolutely there all things? What's that, they don't, they don't linger too far in the past, do they? A week feels like fucking 40 years to them, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Sometimes I go into the kids, well they? Also a week feels like fucking 40 years to them, isn't it? I know. Sometimes I go to the kids, well you've got a birthday party on Sunday and I'm like, how long is it? I'm like, two days! Oh, no! No! What am I going to do for two days? Yeah, so to her, I was saying, still sad about Eddie, is the equivalent of me talking going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going going still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still going. to going. to going? to going? to going? to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to her, us saying, still sad about Eddie, is the equivalent of me talking to you about John Lennon dying in 1980. Do you know what I mean? Still going on about that, mate. Yeah, fucking hell, mate, move on.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Move on, Josh. Oh, that's good though, she's not upset. Well, she was on the die. to go and pick got the ashes, we've gotten them in an urn. Can't be a lot, can it? What, a handful? How many did you get for a cat handful? You pay a bit extra, Rob, to get your actual cat's ashes rather than just some of the general ashes. I think that's money well spent.

We'll put all the cats through at the same time and you can just have some general cat. Yeah, miscellaneous cat. No, I'll be all right with that. I'd want to be a lot of a cat. The ones the fur goes. Well, I'll let you know,
Starting point is 00:16:45 I've got to go and pick her up. We've got her in a black cat. They'll probably give it in one of them little bags that people sell cocaine in. Don't wrong. Oh, God. Awful. I remember. I vividly remember reading a column maybe a decade ago, more by Charlie Brook about how he could never get a dog because he knows he couldn't deal with a dog dying. Yeah. Because I remember when Seth Fabragas went Barcelona from Arsenal. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And that hit me. Did it? Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, Rob? Of course it is. Is it? Yeah. Yeah.

With some ashes below it. Generic Rob Ashlesses or do you want? I'll chuck it in with whatever. We can put eight bodies through at once or do you want Rob's actual ashes, your decision?
Starting point is 00:17:52 Just the comedy teeth on top of a vase in my daughter's front room as a husband goes. We have to have that out. You've already got the bond poster up. Oh dear. Yes, well, I'm sorry it's been a bit bleak, Josh. to to to to to to Bond poster up. Oh dear. Yes, well I'm sorry it's been a bit bleak Josh but. No, it's all right. It's good for kids I think to chat about that kind of stuff in it though. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Definitely. It's inevitable. It's inevitable. His own point of being stressed about the inevitable. It's sort of accept it, but it's hard to. That's the thing. I find this time of year very depressed and I was going to chat you about it. I always get... I fucking love it. Well no, I, so I find the winter and the cold and the rain. Are you an SAD guy? I find my mental, keep it on top of my mental health, so much harder when it's dark and cold and miserable. Do bit harder to get on with things wrong way more positive and full of beans in the summer like most people are. Yeah yeah. I find you easier to deal with in winter. Just a little bit more reserved. I like, do you know what, it just takes the edge
Starting point is 00:18:53 off it's quite nice. Lose the same actually when I'm really buzzing, lose a bit like this is too much for me.

Yeah, I was like, well, should one of us be up there, Lou, because she's eight? And like, she plays in a flake. Plake candles on, plays with like water a bit and she has her iPad on the side
Starting point is 00:21:50 to watch, ladies of the ball watching her iPad. Yeah, yeah. And what time is this? What the time is it? It's about four o'clock? When I saturday we'd been out and done stuff in the day. She'd come back from a kid's party, just wanted to run, just just a bit of her time. She's a fucking relax, put on some bloody ennia. I'll say the well I'll go up there and I'll, if I'm upstairs, I can be sort of like walking around the upstairs and I can go in and out of the room and double check the right. And then in the end the end up and I'm just like laying in a to to to a to to a to a to to their, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I, I, I'll, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, 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'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, tell, I'll, tell, I'll, tell, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, bath. She's got, they've got on, she's got an on-sweet bathroom, which will make me physically sick
Starting point is 00:22:26 to this day that she's got an unsweet bathroom. But you can't scream in a child's face, going, you've got a fucking unsweet bathroom. Yeah, but it seems counterproductive. Yeah, because you or you used to have to shit in a bucket, shit on me and then I'll just wash it off of a hose. You know, partly wants them to grow up and be well-adjusted children be aware that they've had a lovely lifestyle and a lot of privilege, but then I almost want them to be like 16 and be aggy and start going at me and then I just rip them a new one, don't I mean? Like an East End of see? Yeah, of course. Anyway, so I'll go and lay in a bed like, like, like, I'm a 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.

Starting point is 00:23:06 watch you in the bath. And she's like, Dad, what you're doing? I'm like, I'll just like watch you in the bath. She would, why? And I was like, well, it's actually quite weird, isn't it? I want to be embarrassed about stuff like that? Is she? Of course, not yet, but that's not far off.
Starting point is 00:23:30 It's not far off is what I mean, yeah. You don't want to be like, oh when I have a bath my dad watches, before you're in the school, talking to like know, particularly when they say, well, that's all right because you're having a bath before you go to bed and then she's like, no, no, no, it was 4 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon I just went for a bath and I just went for a bath. I just went for a today and I just, like, right worst parent in the world. So I just, I mean, there must be, maybe it's a good thing for people to write in about. When have you done something with your kids and as you're doing it, you think, I think I'm too old to be doing this?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Or like, it's like, it's got a bomb beyond. But you're just trying to be a good parent. But you know, no, they they they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they they they they th.

Well, no, she's five, so like that is way too old. And I was saying that this is too old and the was just laughing at me. But now, I'm having that debate, I that debate, time. No, we're in a kind of one-on-one-off. One-on-one-off. Because I know she
Starting point is 00:24:46 must do it at school. Well I don't think they go at school. Do they not? I don't think so. The size minds are knocking out. There can't be more than one of them a day. They'll start running out of body. Bob, I mean you watch, I mean you watch, I bath you're watching them shit and then checking the site. You really know. She asked me to wipe her pubs, I wiped it and I saw it. I mean that was, you know, I wasn't seeking it out. You need to just give them some space mate. Give them a bit of space.

Starting point is 00:26:31 it in a bag and put it and when I get in there go to the toilet. I make sure I definitely go to the staff visit or visitor to toilet and not to the child's a child.

So, to about I've got to run a stool all day because it said morning or afternoon and we said we're available for both and I thought they'd give us one I'm doing a full shift. Oh mate what's stool are you running? I don't know what I thought I said I'll do it with you Lou assuming we'd get a stool when it was like crafts or something and then I thought Lou could thou to do that and I'll just do a the their Lou their Lou they Lou they Lou th and I thus. thus. they Lou thus. Lou could do that and I'll just do a bit of banter. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, of course. Just do it at groundwork, but I've got a feeling I'm gonna be like try to make some Roman bread or something with eight kids all screaming at me and I'll just lose a
Starting point is 00:27:11 plot and fuck off. I mean, yeah, because I want to see how my daughter I don't care about the rest of you. I've got an issue of the school toilet. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. I. I, Rob. 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'm, I'm, I'm the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the try, the the try, try, the try, the try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try and try and try and try try and try try and try to try try try try to try the toilet when I go to pick up my daughter. That's odd, because then you're like the man who comes in, every time he comes to pick her up, he goes for a piss in the school toilet. That's an anxiety thing that is. Well it's because I'm always on a rush to get out and it's a 20 minute drive. And so by that point, I'm like, oh God, I've built up the need up up up up up up up up up up the need the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that thi. that that that that thi. thi. thi. the man, the man, the man, the man, the man, the man, the man, the man, the man, the man. the man. the man. the man. the man. the man. the man. the the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that thi. that that that that that thi. that thi. thi. thi. thi. So you go to a piss every time you pick it five times a week? No, not every time. You're doing 10 pisses in a school. No, I'm not doing 10 drop-offs, obviously. She's ill today, so that's two pieces avoided.
Starting point is 00:27:52 So it's eight pissed this week? Uh, well, no, Rosales Friday pick up, it's never drop off. Never drop off, always pick up, right? But I fear exactly what you've pointed out, what I was hoping you'd say is, no, they're never going to notice you go for a piss every time, but what you've done is straight away you've absolutely identified my fear. A million percent and even more so because you're off the telly. Oh God. Do you know that Josh Whitakum's kid goes to school? Yeah, oh what's he like? You work on reception. A bit old really, seems a nice blowbet. Every time he goes into the toilets? I think he's either got a coke problem or he's a pedophile. Or both? So this is why your technique, right? So what you do is you need the way you can't change that. So you come out the toilet in front of the receptionist, you go and rub your nose.
Starting point is 00:28:49 So you're like, right, new it, coke head, classic, TV, right? Rub your nose. And then you come out and then you say things like, God, I tell you who's beautiful these Isn't Judy Dench beautiful and just all of the older famous women. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think Miriam Margulies have got something about her as well. They're actually. Exactly. That's too much. Oh, okay.

You know, sometimes when my daughter's a bit busy with school and stuff and stuff and she's like, a bit restless in the night, and you can hear him,
Starting point is 00:29:52 and like, I'm like, making noise. And then she's, oh, that. And I just have to lay with her. And it's so knacker in Josh. And then me and Lou do shifts, but she's sort of half asleep, half awake, I don't know what's going on. How long for? Sometimes it could be a little while like, and in the end we've got, giving her a bath to sort of just like snap her out of it. Just to sort of get her, just, to get, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, to, the, to, the, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, thus, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, tho, thi, the, the, oh that, my foot's itchy or aching and kicking around and all that and he lay in there and he sort of, and then just it goes on for ages
Starting point is 00:30:28 and then I did it the other night and then she'd gone back to sleep but I stayed there for an actually like 20 minutes just like looking at my phone like one ear pod in like an like an Uber driver like right now and then I've the the the thirty thou to th and th and th and th and to th and to th and th and th and to th so so so th so th so th is 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 the the the the the the th so. the th so I'm th so.

So, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, it's like two in the morning by an hour and just get into the door. And she went, daddy? And part of me just wanted to be like, because you want to be kind and just want to go, yeah, she's there's nothing wrong with you, just going like to fucking sleep, and like that. And I was getting ready to sort of, like, to tell you know, and I was like, I've giv-a, I've given, I've give, I've give, I've give, I've gi, I've just, I've just, I've just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just kind, I've there, I've just kind, I've just kind there, and I've just, and I've just, and I've just, and I've to be kind th.

Starting point is 00:31:15 more guilty in my life I was like you god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh oh god Daddy. You know that? It's brutal. But yeah, that was that was last night, so we're a bit tired today. What's going on? Christmas trees up, Christmas, everything's up, Christmas, White. Tree up. We would do it first to November if we could, but we've been a bit busy so we've done it third week.
Starting point is 00:31:37 You've got the day of recording. You love Christmas. Why deprive yourself for a couple of weeks of it being cozy and lovely in your house? Don't worry. I listen to the Christmas music on the way to school. When I don't with my daughter. I can't. Oh, I can relax now. Yeah, yeah. Well the woods. We've got, we have fake trees. Of course you do. We spoke about this. That's why stiff neck, loose neck, Christmas tree divide. Yeah, but it just, I just think, like if you had a real one, it wouldn't,
Starting point is 00:32:11 you can't put it up now, it'll die. But it's just. that one year, And are you excited about Christmas? I am actually. What do you want for Christmas, Rob? What do I want for Christmas? Nothing really. We're not, we're not, we're not buying, I think it's too much, I think it's too much.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And it's too expensive. So not only is it a lot of money, everyone and also like guilt draining where they get me something oh bloody oh they're coming around and they always get us something we've got to get them something oh bloody hell but they've got they've got a load of money and they'll get me something shit if that will cost me too much and all that so we in our family we don't buy the adults presence anymore that that's nice we just get it for the kids because I've got four brothers that they're all got partners and all got kids. Like, it's insane. We don't buy any adults any presents, we get the kids presents, the grandkids, so they'll get a present from each family, so I'll get my niece and nephew present each and stuff
Starting point is 00:33:17 like that. And then we sort of all get something for the grandparents because otherwise no one's get, you know, because they'll stuff like that and me and Lou will get each other something but we might we might we might just go away in the new year and not get a present for each other oh yeah nice yeah and because it's my birthday in January as well so it's like I don't I'm not really a present guy yeah it's just I just don't really want anything wrong do you know what I mean to. Do you know what I mean like why you the the the time I the the time I time I time I the time I time I time I the time I time I the the the the time I time I the time I the the time I the the the to to time I ti to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

That's all. But do you know what I mean? Like why am I waiting for someone to buy me a book that I can buy myself? I could buy some socks, Rob. It's a middle age thing, isn't it? Yeah, I think it gets. I think when you're like younger, so if you're like kid or you're like early 20s and you're a bit skinned or whatever. that stuff's like thi their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I's to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to to to to to to to buy. I's to buy. I to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to buy to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. their toooooooooooooooooo. too. tooo. toe. toe. toe. apart from me unless someone goes oh I've just bought you a two-week holiday for your entire family yeah I'll take that yeah that be quite handy but really
Starting point is 00:34:11 actual individual gifts and stuff like that is not really and it's hard now because you can't buy anyone a DVD it's really hard to get people a present the death of DVD and CD has fucking destroyed me. It's like, God, it used to be so easy. Just go to HMV and fucking smash it. Yeah, so easy to wrap as well. You can get like five for 25 quid or something. You know them cheap ones, like they go, oh you like this is a classic. It's back to the future. There you go.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Merry Christmas. Yeah. you want something physical as your gift. I don't want a month of Netflix. I'm buying clothes for people's always a lotter in it. Oh, just write it off. Yeah, just fucking right it off. Here's 50 quid. I was going to get you some trainers, but it's no point. When someone hands over, something and I know it's going to be clothes I think why have you done this to us? Or a scarf? Oh who wears scarf and part from old people that are about to die? Yeah I do not need a fucking scarf mate. My neck's never been
Starting point is 00:35:14 cold. Well speak for yourself obviously I've got neck problems Rob I could do. Oh yeah it's absolutely falling apart your neck to know I'm I think that's what my beef is so it's like I'm just shoulders and head. the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm just th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. th. th. I'm th. th. I'm th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th.

I'm t. S. I'm t. I haven't got much of a net but I think that's what my beef is so it's like I'm just shoulders and head so there's nothing to round it's almost like a chin chin scarf but but yeah I think try and have a honest discussion with family and go should we just not buy adults presents because if I had to buy adults presents right that's 11 adults, just my mom and dad and brothers. So even if you spend 20 quid on each, that's like what, 240 quid or 220 quid? It's not even the money, it's the kind of when you spend it and you know that they don't want a fucking scented candle. Those presents for people that aren't like really close to you are just punts. Oh those boots three for two, get a lynx for him, get a dove set for her and get a bath
Starting point is 00:36:12 bomb for a kid. There you go. Josh I did take very middle class the other day. Yeah, come over to the dark side Rob. Right. I like sourdough bread, right? You've fucking changed. I have. Don't give me wrong. I do like a bit of like a white white the the the the the the white tha white tha white tha th. Like a white th. Like a white th. Like a white th.

I have. Don't give me wrong, I do like a bit of like a white bit of hovis with a bacon sandwich in the morning, but if I'm having toast, it's sourdough for me. I've completely converted. And, but I find it goes off a bit sometimes, isn't it, the salad dough, you've got to keep on top of it or freeze it. I've bought a bag that you put the salad. to they. I. I. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's.

Staying up at midnight watching QVC? No, it was just in the shop. It was next to the sourdough, they know what they're doing. It was a maraudet. It's a bag.
Starting point is 00:36:53 You've been absolutely fucking done, thi. It's a bag, isn't a tha. their. their. their. their. their. their. tha. tha. tha. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to. to. to. to. to. toing. toing. toing. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.

It's just. t t t t t t t t together. together. together. together. together. together. t together. today. today. today. today it's meant to be stale. So you just have it stale? It's after day two, you're not meant to enjoy it wrong. You just meant to desperately get to the end of it, cutting it like it's a piece of rock with a knife. Remember, I cut it all up, straight off and stick it in the freezer and then just, it tastes just as good if you put it in to the to frozen. Oh here we go here we go. Do you not do that? No. He's long you just thrown away half a loaf of bread. I'm never thrown it away you just have it stale. Fucking fighting my way to the end.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It's so it's too hard when you buy it's too hard when you buy a to the to buy a to buy a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to the the to to to to to to their. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the the the the the the the the the the the toa. the the the toa. the the toe. toe. toe.'s too hard, it's too hard generally. French sticks as well, they're, they're shelf-like, shelf-arts getting sure. You buy a French stick, I pick it up warm in the shop, get home 5 p.m. that day, we might as well use it as a javelin, rock hard. I think a French stick that's too thin. I'm gonna say it. I their thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I thin. I said it. I don't think they're any good. There's too much crust, not enough middle bit. No, I don't eat the middle bit. I take it all out. What? So, if I have a bit of French dick, I'll scoop out the bread
Starting point is 00:38:14 and throw the dough in the bin. What? And just eat the best bit? I don't like that. Send it my way. I could like it. Pop it in a jiffy bag and send it to me, mate. It's horrible. It's all doughy and horrible. We should go and buy French sticks together.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I'll enjoy the middle. You could enjoy the outside. No, not for me. Also, Josh, I'm thinking of buying a van. Don't. Why? Because it's too on brand. It's too... No, but I just think I've always got to take stuff down the dump. The kids are all mess. You can't buy a van. To take stuff to the dump.
Starting point is 00:39:03 No, but there's always something coming or going or boxes got to go somewhere or got to get this, we got to get the bikes in to go to the park, the dogs in. I just think a little, a nice one, you can get ones that are nice. Have you bought a barber yet? You are such a country squire? Have you bought a barber jacket. I've got a... I give it six months. I won't be surprised if Lou buys you on for Christmas. I've got a hiking boots which I never thought I don't. Yeah for my walks in the country so. No, not wellies I can't go that far. Also, well he's don't, it's so uncomfortable wellies, just wear a pair of boots. How deep you're going? Have you used any bail a twin? Have you used any bail a twiin?

It's the string that they use for hay bales that in the country is used for all kinds of tying up activities.
Starting point is 00:39:48 That sounded like you want to make it. But no I've got a long loophole, a long rain's jacket which is a proper waterproof jacket for dog walks which just goes over the top of stuff. So yeah I quite enjoy wearing a, I've already got into waterproof stuff on Goretex. Oh my God. Because before you should just have wet feet. You really get 30s, Rob. I know, but I like being dry. What can I say?
Starting point is 00:40:15 I feel like you're actually an older person than me since you've moved to the country. You're buying a van to go to the tapapapap the dogs. I know, but I just don't have something where you can get. I feel like when you've got a van, anything's possible. Like when you're driving along and you see stuff on the side of the street, you go, that's cool, isn't it? I'm going to stick it in the van. What the fuck are you going to, you're cruising around with a van picking up shit from people's pavements.
Starting point is 00:40:46 I like, I just, I just like the idea of having a van. That the kids, throw all the kids in and if you get one with like the two, like the two, like, if you have one with like the front seats and the back seats and the back seats, you can get like a six seat or a seat almost. th.
