Talk to me about the bleakness. Well, because I was speaking to John Richardson last night, and I'm waiting to go. Oh, that's going to cheer you up. Ha ha ha ha. No, but I sat next to him and I had a bit of papertypical of the back of it sat. And I'm sat there, 2,000 people at one of the most famous theaters in the world and I keep getting it out and looking at it, it don't help. And I just look at the word pubs and I'm just, just be clear, you mean you know it, don't you? Just remind myself, I'm looking at, I'm looking at a pupe of people with, 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, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and I'm, and, and, and, and, and I'm, and I to.

to make no sense and talked to myself, what the fuck am I doing? You can't do this. And that hasn't gone from the first gig. I still sit there on the side of stage, just going, what are you doing? This is mostly. I'd say, I have an inner th that's just before going on any gig, which is what the fuck am I doing in my life.

And also, and then you come off, and then basically the running commentary between you and your agent or the tour manager at his basis, how did that go? Did they like me? Because I want them to like me? Because I went out there and did they like me as much as last night? But it's a Monday they won't like me as much on as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on th as much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a much on a mo thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their.

Mine is why am I doing this? What am I trying to prove? Why is my life led to this point? But when you're on it's amazing. I think I can do it. But why do I need to? Yes! That's my question. Not the can, but why, I was too worried. You're too worried about the, I can't remember the Jurassic Park quote, but there's a joke there. There's a joke there.

What's the Jurassic Park? They were so worried about, if they could, if they could, that they didn't think about whether they should. Yes, just because you can't, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tha, tha, tho, the tho, the tho, the tho, tho, the the the tho, the the tho, the tho, the tho, the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to too, to to too, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, too, to to the the, the, tho, they didn't think about whether they should.

Bloody hell, that's the kind of fact.

I know. I made that up 206. Also, I saw, you know, Rosie Jones, one. Yeah. I saw the prep she did. She basically created a fact sheet document about every, she did it on dinner ladies and she watched every episode three times. Did you see the quote I put on her Instagram? Yeah, so did you do that for blur? I might, not as not as specific. So what is the point in doing mastermind? Basic? Can you be bothered to do homework? Well, it's the same thing, it's the same thing, it's the same th I I I I I I I the same th. It's th. It's the same th. It's th. It's th.

What am I doing this? Why am I trying to prove? I thought people just went on it and you answer, but you're studying for it.

You're doing revision for mastermind. But that's what mastermind is. Well it's not, is it? just learning it all. Do you think people on mastermind don't do revision? I wasn't going to. You didn't do mastermind. No, but I would have just picked like Arsenal under Arsenal under Arsenga, just freestyled it. It would not have done any research. No, I know but Rob. This is the difference between you. No. You probably would have been doubly annoying. Blame me. Rozy Jones knows a lot about this. Anyway, I had a point to make that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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.

Oh yeah, that's when I told you about, because your daughter read it on Monday. It works through the family, my mate had that. Yeah, so I didn't know that it, sorry, I've just got text from, I'm in a WhatsApp group about magic, Christmas, the transition.

They're transitioning. And it just just to come just just just just just become Magic Christmas just now. They've started with a version of fairy tale of New York sung by Ronan Keating who hosts the Breakfast Show. Anyway. So is this a support network? What support of the WhatsApp? What's the what's the up group? Do you know there's Nation Christmas? Do you know there's nation Christmas? You know there's nation Christmas? You there. You there, you there, you there, you there, you there, you there, you there, there, there, there, there, there, there, the the nation Christmas, the nation Christmas, you know, you know the nation the nation the nation the nation the nation the nation the nation, you the nation, you know, you know, you know, you the nation, you their their, you their, you their, you their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiiiiiiii. thiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. also sounds like a far right group that just wants it to Christmas. White Christmas? Nation Christmas? It doesn't sound. Oh, anyway, sorry. Who's in the WhatsApp group about that? Me and Rose and Matthew and Charlie Crosby. Right, and then you get excited when it comes and you know it's Christmas.

Well, it just started this morning. I'll write something. Rose has googled it. The transition was today.. today. R today. Rooday. R today. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R.

The transition was today, but it hadn't happened and we were still listening to fucking islands in the stream at breakfast. I get you. And I was trying to argue that we should just go back to six music like we normally do. And she was like, no, stick with it. And they've just trans weeks. Yeah, exactly. Why not enjoy yourself? So, um, so then I did last leg and I was like, I didn't feel at all well. I wasn't sick because that obviously

I couldn't have done it. Yeah, because I was watching it obviously and I thought, the other day, 11 o'clock and I saw that and I thought, he's gonna be a mess. Malta, Rob. England v. Malta, who cares? Who gives a- I like football and I don't give a shit about the qualifies? England v. Malta moved, what times England be Malta finished? 945? Oh, we should be fine to be on by 10. No, we're goingwell. I didn't pay our wages. Not mine. So I felt I'm just going to leave straight away. You know the BBC is where you go downstairs to get your stuff and then you go to go, I was like

I'm just going to take my bag up, leave it in the makeup room, go straight and get in my car. Yeah. And it felt so good. And then we did the Christmas special yesterday. Oh yeah. And I thought I'm just going to do it again. I'm just going to leave as soon as we finished.

I'm just going to leave and send a text saying, thank you everyone. I don't think I'm ever going to go, I don't think I'm just going to do this forever more Rob. Is it rude? Not no texting everyone to thank Rob. I'm in the car three minutes after last last last night. I think that's absolutely fine. I think TV, people fuck about in TV too much. Like, I enjoy doing it, but I want to be at home.

Yeah. If... Josh, I like the people who work with. That Josh, if you weren't getting paid to be there there, there, there, their, the work, I like the people I work with. Josh, if you weren't getting paid to be there, would you be there? No, but I wouldn't be talking to you at 10 a.m. on a first Monday morning either, Rob. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it a bit? It's like, I had to do PR for TV shows sometimes, and they go, yeah. Oh, well, what is it, what made you want to do the show the show the show the the the to do want to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do the to do the to do to do the to do the the to do to do to do the to do to do to do the the the the to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the?, the? thean. thean. toooooooooom. tooooom. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. the, what is it made you want to do the show? I'm like, well, I'm a comedian and they offered me some money to go and be funny on something.

I'd say it's an incredible, incredible job. And I love it. Oh yeah, I'm lucky and I love it. But anyone would always rather not be at work. Yeah, of course. And this isn't a tough job tough tough tough tough tough tough touououououou tou the tou the tode tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thatate thate thate tho thate. tho tho that that. that. that. the. the. tho tho the.

But anyone would always rather not be at work. Yeah. And this isn't a tough job and I do enjoy chatting to you Josh. I don't think there's any job where someone, we can love our job. And there's no bit of my job that I don't look for, like I look forward to it.

But let's be honest, even if you are, headlining Glastonbury, if someone comes to you and goes, it's been pulled, you're going fucking get in. Also, I love chatting to you, catching up with you, Josh. However, and I probably would ring you once a week, but maybe like a random point, I feel like the work part of this is the pressure that we have our chat before Tuesday morning. Yeah, exactly. To the deadline of an edit. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

Whereas if you could just sit around and slag off the week with Adam and Alex, it's Friday night at 10 o'clock's a bit that we probably, at full disclosure, we probably would never have talked about the autumn statement me, Adam and Alex. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I'm not very honored to do it. I'm not. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. It. Exactly. It. It's. It's. It's. that. Exactly. that. that. that. that. Exactly. that. that. that. that. It's. Exactly. that. that. 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. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I. that. I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah.'t mean I don't enjoy it. I'm not very honored to do it. Lucky, very lucky. Do you know what, Rob? What? I don't mind going on the one show? I don't mind it.

I don't enjoy it. It's a lovely seven minutes. But, were I not contractually obliged by PR? What tickets are not failing to sell for my tour? Then maybe? Sometimes I do find myself on a PR run and the tour sold out and I'm livid. I'm basically here telling people they can't come and see me. Anyway, but no, I love my job. But what was I saying?

Yes, so, so, so I've started leaving as soon as I go on. I think it's rude, I think if you finish, and also it ain't like you're done at 11 a.m. It's late at night, you've got to be up early with the kids. Yes, it's 11 p.m. I don't. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the. the. the. to. to. the. to. the. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I. I. I. speak to you. They want to fuck off too. That's the other thing Rob. When we started the last leg, when we started the last leg, I used to get drunk with the team because they were my age. Now I'm just some weird old bloke hanging out with some researchers that don't want to... They don't want me cramp in their, they're trying to drink with their friends. And I'm there going, hey, good show, wasn't it? And they're like, fucking out. I'm going to talk to this old,

Where was this silly old bastard leave me alone? Yeah. I'm trying to get off with her. I don't need him reading from your book to the green room Josh. But I don't drink any more, Rob! It wasn't to the green room, it's the one person. I think that's what. Oh dear. But I think that's fine to go home straight away. Everything was just polite and stuff. And also, I think you feel it differently because when you first started to do that, the culture was everyone went for a drink after............. I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. And, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their..... And, their, their. And, their, their, their. And, their, their. their. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. to. th. th. to. th. to. th. thea. thi. their, I. their, the, whereas like now you want to get home and be sensible,

which I think is a good thing to do, Josh. I'm not going back to university to be your friend. I'm going so I can get Uber 1 for students. It saves you on Uber and Uber eats. I'm there for zero dollar delivery fee on cheeseburgers, up to 5% off smooth. to 5% off smooth to clear, I'm there for savings, not whatever you think university is for.

Right, so the picture, what do you want to talk about the photo?

Yeah but I don't think it's too bad also as well you don't think that's too bad that's good to know I don't think that's too bad we've had worse piles but what I'd say is now I know that but some of that is that tho th is th is th is th is th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the tho's thoes thoes tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that is that is that is that is that is th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the tho tho tho's tho's tho's tho's thooo's tho's thoo thooooo's thoooo's thooo's tho's tho's the But she expected to do all the washing while you was away? No, she wasn't. So the washing is... Whose job's the washing? It's never been discussed but came Rose's job early doors because I've never understood how to split the washing. Now, no, no, no, this is annoying me and I imagine a lot of female listeners will be... Why is that a malethat? And male, and male listeners? No, because I feel like it's a traditionally a male excuse, how can you not? You can, you can buy it all in together and it was fine. It was what were a nerd for mastermind. Yeah. It's easy. You do, you do darks, white and any colors are sort of similar. You put loads. Loa the clothes are different colors at the same time. What if a clothes. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. the th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. th. the th. the th. the 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 th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. thee. the. the. theee. the. the. the the the the the. the the. don't buy tartan tart and pajamas then that's what you're doing. What if a cloth is blue and white?

Well, I tell you what you can do. I know exactly what you wear. You can put all your navy blue jackets in one wash. You can put all your blue and white striping pizza express t-shirts in one wash. And then you can put your dark jeans and pants and socks the th Okay, I just, I find it complicated. Right. So it's not even that. No, no, actually, it's not that. I'm gonna change my story.

Because I'm gonna be more honest. Yeah. Till I'm at Rose, yeah. I used to put all of my clothes in the same wash. Right, okay. And it was never an issue. So I don't know why they're being split and I feel it would just, if I was in charge I'd just shove it all in when we need to and it would still all be fine. I'm more, I do a black wash because we have lots of black clothes in our house, like

lots of sports clothes and dark jeans. I do a black wash when I do it, which isn't very often before Lou starts giving me fucking shit, a black wash and then blue mixed colors and stuff like that. Now. Now. Now th th th. Now th th th th. Now th th th. Now th th. Now th th. th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu thu thu thus tho tho tho tho that that. So I that, so I tho tho to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I I th. I I I I I I th. I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. So I th. So I th. So I that, I that, I the. So I'm the. So I'm the. I'm the. I'm thean. I'm thean. I'm thean. Lou does the washing in the house, mainly because when you, I'm in and out, so I can put a load in, but I'm not there long enough in the day to get it out and then dry it and stuff like that. So that's become Lou's job. So what was Rose getting at when she messaged the group going thi. thii. th. th. th. to tho, tho, to to that. that. to to that. their, their, that. that. that. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, Roa, Roo, their, their, Lou, Lou's, Lou's, their, their, their, their, Lou's, I, I, Lou's, I, Lou's, their, Lou's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that. Loa. Loa. Loa. Loa. Loa. Loo. Loo. Loo. Lo. Lo. Lo. Lo, th. Loo, th. Loo, th. Loo, th. Loo, th. Loo, th. that. Loo. that. Loo. Loo, the tha, the the that you didn't do any washing. I think she came home to what looked like a cartoon washing basket that was... Yeah it's partly high. It's more full than you've ever seen in your life. Yeah. But I don't think that looks that bad. It's not on the floor.

I would have started a secondary pile on the floor. The fact you've said that makes me feel good about how good we are with our washing generally then. By the I mean, Rose. By me, I mean Rose. Does it make any difference if you just put it all in the same wash? I'm, I don't know, I don't know. I'm blowing the fucking doors off the washing industry. Yeah, I think you can't. I don't think you could not white so. Yeah I just think you can Rob. No white and they're whites all white if you can't put all

the kids white school shirt in with like load of black jeans. Well how often are you washing jeans Rob? Well not that often but darker clothes. How often do you wash your jeans? Hardly ever unless there's actual like human shit on that. There need to be so much shit? Talk to know about about about about about about about about about about it it it it the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the white, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the on that.

I've never been more blood. You know when you get ill one of the few advantages is you feel thin I've never felt so bloated in my life. Really all bunged up. It's all bunged up and it feels like something's going bad in there I don't really get ill that often. I just sort of lose my voice occasionally. Oh, it's not good. It's not a lot. When I co-villed I felt proper ill and I ignore a virus once. But I don't really believe in colds. Here we go. I just feel like you're a bit snotty. Just f-a you, winging bastard.

Blow your nose, have a nirifed and get on it. employer, when I used to work in an office job, I got colds all the time. I had a cold probably

once a week, every couple of, yeah, oh, a bit under the weather, I've been up in the night, I'm tired, but as soon as I became self-employed, that all cleared up. It's like magic, when I wonder, if I can still get paid to have a day off now, then I'd be doing it for the money because you'd like to do it right. I love, I tell when I worked in office job, I loved a sick day. Absolutely loves it. It was glorious. My daughter's off today actually, she's got a sore throat and a cold and a cough and all that, but then my other daughter didn't want to go that was like, oh, oh she wants to be it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I's a to.

I got so sorry for it. It's horrible. So I let a sit in front of the car. A little front of the car treat. But she didn't want to go in today because that's all that is the worst feeling in the world when your siblings off. Yeah, you've got to go to school.

And she had swimming as well before school. cross-country running pre-school. Fuck that. Who's doing that? What's an eight-year-old wants to do that? What is that? You don't even need the age rob. No one of any age should be doing that. Also, it's like, you don't have beanbags at school? Yeah. You throw a beanbag, you never throw it. Who's doing cross-country.

Do they not? I just do marathon, don't they? Yeah, they just do marathon, yeah, they don't run around a muddy field. There is one. I've seen it on like grandstand or something. They do, not on the Olympic. Yeah, but in like a wacky look at this weird bastard sport.

And they show you that mudrested and said. Is it like something? Is it like something like that? Anyway, that's not the end of that. Well, it's a charity fundraisers for people with demons.

I don't know what I don't like medical advice? I, Rob I've been so much pain. Is it really painful? Well, no, not if I'm doing this. Does that help or have you been kind of refracted?

Yeah, but basically if I'm, it's here. It's muscular then. If I go back to just using my phone in the traditional manner, I'm fucked. Well, have you been into it? I told you about my feet the their their their their th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. thathing. thathea. thathea. thathea. thathea. thathea. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. told. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. to me.

Yeah. Right so actually I made the wrong decision it made my feet hurt more. I've had already saw a little toe. Have I to tell you about my bad little toe? No. Faking my little toe. I don't have paid in my neck. Every morning I'll wake up. We spend we spend five weigh. We the the my neck and you're still out about boy I'm still getting I still grinding it out of my sore toe I'm like Gary Linneker in Tokyo wherever he was

in such a bad I said I'd wake up in the morning with a shooting pain in my little tow like intense pain and a doctor on zoom we know them zoom doctors told me it was arthritis I said fuck fuck off will you? He's a complete denial. Anyway basically what it was was, your feet get big as you get older. I'm a 10 now. Yes because they spread out a bit and the weight on them and I'm a size 10, I used to be a size 9, okay, but I'm a 10 now. However, I thought I was a wide nine because I've got weird feet that spread out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out. I'm a the the the the th. the th. th. th. the th. the th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. the the the th. th. the the the the their. the their. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

But what happened was, as I went to the podiatrist, right, foot doctor, and I went in and she looked after feet, first of all she went to stand up on your tiptoes and I did and she burst out laughing and I don't know why. She just sort of laughed at me. And then she said, well she said I've got a deformed little too which means it's way to to to be they. to be they. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and thi, thi, thi, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm, and th th th th thi, and th th thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th, and th, and th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, th thin, th th thin, th th thin, th th theeean, thiii's, thi, thi, thi, th got, I've got a deformed little toe, which means it's way smaller than all the other ones. It's supposed to be smaller, obviously,

but it's remarkably smaller, which means that it can't take the weight of, and if I walk in a weird way, and by having the wide feet, my little toe was going on my little toe, so I've damaged it, it's become inflamed. now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. the th. to. to. the to. to. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. the the toe. toe. toe. toe. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. th th th toe. toea. tooea. toea. tooea. toa. toa. toa. toea. toe. th fit much better and then I went to the chiropractor because I was out in bed and I was like Lou I think one of my legs is longer than the other and Lou was a classic oh yeah what's up with him now? I've got that. I've got that.

I've got that. I've got to my hips have gone out and I didn't get a longer leg, my left one's got a bit shorter, it's jammed up. So he's realigned me and now I've got my shoes on and the pain scan in my toe. But I nearly spent 800 quid on some insoles which I didn't need. So go to the chiropractor. Did you know what the pot? We could have this which is especially made in a soul. We the photo. We the photo. We could. We could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, we could, I'd the paint, I, I've the paint, I've the paint, I've the paint, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've the pain, I've th, I've th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I've th, I, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've thin, I've thin, I've thin, I've the, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, I've the,'ll get on just with having the pain. You know what I'll have no gain I think I'll plow on with a little toe. Oh dear so anyway that's my neck update. That's my towel so I like I thought I was going to have to do this lying on the floor because I cut my wait the first time it went bad recently was when we were recording while I was away in a hotel room and I did this on laptop and after that I was fucked. I've basically, I'm never using a laptop again. Oh, you just have to have it on books so it's an eye level.

Now you're stooping with a book as well. So I've got, I've got readers neck. Because obviously that is the same fucking...

Yeah.

That's like a strain test is it? Stress test? Yeah. What about we just talk about, oh I need to talk about kids Josh, I went to Lapland at the weekend. Oh yeah we're going. Lapland UK, are you going? When you're going? Yeah, we are going after school's out like 16th or something? Oh night near a time. Yes, we went early. I'm going to talk about Christmas and Father Christmas quite a lot lot th.

Yeah about Christmas and Father Christmas quite a lot so if adults are listening with people that shouldn't listen here's your little heads up yeah we are getting a lot of kickback from the eight year old or she's eight next week yeah about father Christmas oh yeah and lots of questions well we've been can I can I go on a quick Father Christmas rant on that? Because Rose said this to me and I agreed and I don't want to, I don't want to have a go at

people making their own decisions but I'm going to. I think people that tell their children about Father Christmas from the off are selfish towards other parents because it only puts their kid, we've got a friend who's just never believed in Father Christmas, she's just like a fucking firecracker passing this off to everyone who's five and six and it's like like, if you're gonna do that, your kid needs to be locked up from November to January. Because it's putting us, us from the world of magic and fantasy and joy. Yes. That world of magic and fantasy and joy is under. We are, that world of magic and fantasy and joy

is under threat from your fucking boring our science world. Yes, exactly and just, also I think it's become like the bit of a new trendy hipster thing to do. No, we're honest with our children. Oh, well, all right, why don't you tell them how, you've been honest? Why don't you just, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, give, their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th... tho, tho, tho. tho. thoo. thooooomoomoomoomorrow, tho. thooooomoomorrow, thoomoomo. tho. tho. tho them how you, if you're being honest, why don't you just give him full honesty? How did I get here? I fuck your dad and he come inside me.

You want to honestly? I'm honest with my kids. And then science happens and then you're born later. Okay? We're doing honesty. It's a fucking honesty, right? Also we're staying together for you and we will split up the moment you go to university. Did you, any more honesty?

What the life and winter is too miserable and hard for their not to be a little bit of joy for the children before they have to accept their fate of grinding through life until it's over. So please allow your children to enjoy their fate of grinding through life until it's over. So please allow your children to enjoy themselves for fuck sake. I just, I think that I'm quite a calm person, but I think I would, if someone went up and spoke to my kids about Father Christmas in the playground, I think I'd fight them. But it feels like you're eight-year-old. They're, they're, they're eight-year-old. They're, that, for to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 their their their their their their their their their their that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. to to to to to to kids about Father Christmas in the playground, I think I'd fight them. But it feels like your eight-year-old then has reached the point of being. But that's... So what we...

That's just a natural thing. Because there's people at school. I would say, however, I love that man UK. My only little thing I don't enjoy about it, and I think it's amazing experience is their, their, their, to, their, to, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thooooomoomoomoomorrow, tha, thoooomoomorrow, thoomorrow, thi, thi, is, thi, is, I don't enjoy about it and I think it's amazing experience is the invites to sort of the vibe around the inviices you're invited to go by Father Christmas but you're not actually your parents book a ticket and I think that does muddy the water slightly whereas if we just went oh no we're gonna you know we're gonna take you to it. The actual place is amazing and after going my daughter was like well back on the father Christmas band we're gonna oh my god.

Were she? Yeah and so and also as well you can write a letter for what you want she wrote this letter and then sealed it and wouldn't let us see the letter oh right however however yeah so that Lou full panic mode I'm a bit more to the way I look at it is the more you ask to see it they'll the the the the the the the the the the the the more the more the more the more the the the the the the the the the the the 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'll. their. 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. 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'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the. the. the. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm, I'm a bit more chilled because the way I look at it is, the more you ask to see it, the more they'll say no. Also, you've got to understand she's eight and she's now going right. There's a theory here that Father Christmas is in charge, but also there's a theory that my parents might be involved. If, and she's clever enough to go, if they don't see this, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and th, and th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th, if th go if they don't see this yeah and I get it we're all the big dog the big dog's coming right yeah so obviously is also is also if you're

honest about how you're created the big dog was coming that night as well exactly but we haven't been that honest about children we must be terrible parents and I so so what I was like if we should shut up, if we just shut up, we can grab it off a minute when they forget and go, well, I'll look after them until we find the post box. And then you can go to the toilet and have a sneaky look, right? And in that way, it helped. Lou, head went immediately, please, let me look at it, please.

I'm like, Lou, it doesn't, we don't need to look to look to look to look to look don't need to look at it because it's going to Father Christmas you know like she's like I was like I literally will get by your teddy if you let me look at it and I'm like Lou what you do it and now actually begging and then we've got and then she still didn't budge my oldest and then my youngest on the way back. Despite losing credible poker. Josh it was, I have not seen anyone beg before. The last time I saw someone beg was when I did my motorcycle Vesper test. You know you have to get that little. What? What?

What? You used to ride a scooter? Yeah. Yeah. So you have to do a little test where it's basically theory in their the the the the the the theory in theory in theory in theory in theory in theory in theory theory in theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory in the theory in the theory in the theory in the theory in the theory in the theory in the theory theory in the theory in the theory theory in the theory in the theory in the theory in the theory theory theory theory in the theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory theory the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. theory. the theory. the the the the the theory in the classroom, then you go out on a motorbike and they follow you around and it's sort of like you get a provisional basically to then go and do your full test, but you're allowed to go on a motorbike with an L plate. Anyway, I was doing that. There was this geyser that came,

there's geyser, I think, because he didn't speak English and then when we were on the motorbike thing he didn't know that red lights meant stop and he was going on the wrong side of the road okay yeah he was never it was so dangerous right he was like on the wrong side of the road going through red lights and we got back to the test center place the bloat went mate I can't pass you I'm sorry and he got to the hands and knees and begged him and the man the man man man man man man the man the man the man the man the man the man the man the man th the man th th th th th th th th th th the man the man th th th he th he the man he he to to to to to to he th he the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to he he the the he the the the the the the he the he he the he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the an the an the an the an the an thean. the an the an the an the an the an I'm doing you a favor, you're going to kill yourself. You've got to go and learn, you know, learn about the road before you do this. And then that was the only time I've ever seen someone actually beg person. And then I saw Lou at Lapland UK begging our children. And then on the drive home, we've got these little lamas, they're like little packets where they're like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. their, their. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and then, their. And, their. And, they. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. And, and we could bulk buy them from Amazon rather than buying them for free could when you're in Sainsbury's. And they sit on the side, so if they,

if they done well where they've got, you know, almost like a pom-pom jarbo without all the admin where it's like, if you're really good and you tidy room and you do this, you can't do you do you do you do th you can have th you can have th you can have the little the little the little the little little little little little little little little little little little little.. llama and I was like well you've not done anything to get a llama but the llamas of when you've behaved or been kind or done something or done some chores mummy said I could have one if I told it was on my Christmas list amazing I was like Lou that is toxic parents you are blackmailing your

children with toys and treats to find information that's a terrible precedent to say and Lou just I know but I just wanted to see because I want it it it it it they they they they they they they they they they they they to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be 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 their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to me to me to me to me to me to me to me their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toy. toy. I toy. I'm toy. I'm toy. I'm toy. I'm toy toy. toyed. I was toy toyed. I was toyed. I was toyed. I'm trible precedent to set and Lu just went, I know, but I just wanted to see because I wanted it to be magic. Amazing, absolutely incredible. But Lapland UK was, without doubt, the best family thing you can do at Christmas, I think, and they do, and I've been a few times out, and they're improving it each year, they're like, they're reinvesting it into making it better and a better experience. So I massively loved it. I'm very excited. And it was great to go earlier. We've been right before Christmas before, but actually November was really nice because it

gets you in the Christmassy mood. But yeah, it was brilliant, really good. Yeah, well this was what happened why my friend's not been invited. And then this year, this year, her friend, we were at a birthday party on Saturday, and we haven't done the arrival thing yet, because we were like, let's do it nearer the time. Yeah.

And then, um, her friend was going yesterday. She was like, I'm going to Lapland tomorrow. And then my daughter was like, oh, I'm not going this year. And suddenly I was like, oh, I think you might be. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, ah, it's too difficult. And he's like, how do you know? Are you like, oh, yeah? I don't know what to do in this situation. What we we we we we we we we we we we we we we we th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th, th, th, th, th, th, th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. And, th. And, oh, oh, oh we're up against, we're up against the anti-magic sort of campaign

of hate amongst the other kids. Not all of them, I think there's just a couple, is the, what we stayed in the hotel, we stayed in a hotel near Lappland so we could go in the morning because we had an early slot. But what we did if we had a bit of dinner and then we, I had the invite, I took it to the front desk and said, could someone from the front desk come to the restaurant and say these have been delivered? They said, and then had the names on them

and the reaction was unbelievable. Took him to the wrong table by mistake. Four blokes. Four businessmentouch. to to to to the to the to the the to the to the th. th. th. th. th. thia. th. thia. thiats. thiats. thiats. thiats. thoom. thoom, thoom, thoom. to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to come to come to come to come to come to come to come to come th. th. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thooooooooooooooooooooooooes. absolutely can't believe they're like. Sander's invited them to that, right? So that works, but yeah, like it is a, you know, it's also as well, I think as much as it is, you don't it ruined, I think kids get to a stage where it's a knowing ignorance about it all, because it's fun when they get a little bit older, but also I feel like it's more where it's a knowing ignorance about it all because it's fun when they get a little bit older but also I feel like it's more like the reaction we're both getting is also that our little babies are big now. It's well it's a real line in the sand of they're not little kids

that can be told any old girl. They're becoming their own people and they're making decisions and working stuff out themselves. and it's scary isn't it? It is scary. Because they're not little kids. Mine's gonna be eight and six Josh. I know my friend. When we started this you only had one kid. I know now I've got three. When Rose is Frank Aaron on Saturday her daughter's night and she said to Rose, that for the first time she can feel her pulling away. She can feel... Oh, Christmas or in general?

In general. Like, not completely, but you can just feel the first bits of... Oh my God. Who are you, you're a year from that, Rob? I find as well, like... I don't want that. I think it's the the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, for th, for th, for th, for th, for th, for th, for th, for thi, for thi, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, that, that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that, for that that that that that thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, for thi, thi. thi's thi's the first the first the first thi's thiii. thiiii. that's that's that thi. that's thi. th yeah. Oh my God. You're a year from that Rob. I find as well, like, I don't want that. I think it's gonna be difficult. I don't know if it's just with girls. Tell me what you think, because you've got one of each as they grow up.

I find with girls as a dad, they either, you are a complete idiot, div. Yeah, there is an element of like you're a Homer Simpson figure, isn't that? What a stupid idiot, or they absolutely adore you, right? And they're like wrapped up round you like daddy's little girl. Whereas with Lou, I find the absolute adorer, I would like, mommy. Oh, sorry, sorry. No, no, with the kids. They absolutely adore and love cuddles from their mummy. And they also also the area that you know they love cutting their mom and then they also think oh mum's like a bit of an like a bit of an idea or what have you done that for

call moms and dads are stupid but then there's an extra level that I don't get where it's sort of like that sort I don't get that, but they clash heads with that. And I don't know if it's because it's girls. It's because you're not trying to bribe them to, with alarmists. It's like, you know, like, there's, with blokes, have a fight or an argument, right? And then the next week, it's fine, where I feel like women, sometimes, the stuff, st stuff, st stuff, to. stuff,'s a bubbling under psychological thing. Yeah. What'd you fucking do that for? It's sort of quite a media and explosive, but then stops or goes away where I think with girls and their mum sometimes there's that extra layer of...

Yeah. But I've got a good question, why not a good question for you, Rob. I've got a question for you. Now, obviously you're very happy with two kids. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to get to to get to get to get to to to get to get to to to get to to get to get to to get to to get to get to get to get to to get to get to get too. to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get. to get. to get. to get. to get. to get. to get. to get. to get. to the the the the the the they. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the their their thoooooooooooes. I. their their thoes. I with two kids. Yes. Do you think when the pulling away begins in, say, a year or two, there'll be a pang of, oh, should we just go one more time? Do you know what? I think if our kids were younger and we just, and we were in the position we're in now, say we had a, you know, like a one-year-old and a three-year-old, and we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we just, and we were in the position we're in now, say we had a, you know, like a one year old and a three year old, and we're in, we're sort of a bit more settled now

because we've moved house and my works become a bit more routine where it was so mad for like 10 years, it's a bit more like, right, I do the podcast, I do some filming Robin, and I've got a few jobs that are sort of contracted where every job I've ever done is like right well done and then next week I might write into find work where with the pocket I've got a little bit of guaranteed work it's a bit more structured that I think if we had younger kids I'd be tempted to have more but now there's a six there's gonna be a six well even if Lou got pregnants good? No, it's strictly March. It's only March we do that for the old descendant.

March is an absolute fun question. Sorry if the show dips in quality in March, but I'm exhausted when we're shagging. But, um, it's a, yeah, but I think I don't, it's almost like two families when you start having ones that bigger gap. I think it's sort of like, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the old, the, their, their, their, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th the, the, than, than, than, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, yeah, but I think I don't, it's almost like two families when you start having ones that are that bigger gap. I think it's sort of like, then the stuff you want to do and dedicate your time to, to the older girls, you're like, oh, sorry, I've got a baby. So I don't think we're going again. Definitely, almost definitely not.

What about you. pangs? There is pangs. There's definite pangs. Well no but I just think the practicalities outweigh the pangs. The reality is, yeah. This is the first time in 15 years, no not 15 years, but like in a decade when I've not really been stressed. Right, but you, but your neck is completely fucked and you have to hold your phone two foot away from your face, but this is the best you've ever fell. That is an overhang of going away to film that thing with niche, four weeks out of five.

No, but I, this is the least stressful my life has been, and it feels like I'm getting a good life work balance for the first time in history. And it would be mad. Like Rose is just, Rose, I also think Rose feels really, is starting to feel herself again for the first time in... I'll say lose the same time in four or five years. Yeah and I just think if you can offer me another two and a half year old now I'd take it. Yeah if if a little baby and there was no pregnancy no pregnancy and I'd say even a year because I'd say if you there was no pregnancy and

the knock-up drawings a year one-year-old baby yeah I just I hate the proper little newborn stage and I love losing pieces but when she's pregnant we we don't it ain't great we ain't at our best you know if you had to put where Robert Lure at their best, I'd say we peak at Disneyland, we bottom out at pregnancy. And a pregnancy and a busy schedule for me, we are. It's really bad. Yeah. When me and Rose are at our best?

When Rose is away and I'm looking off the kids. But she's collected a few favorites on Netflix to help me with my choosing. You and Rose... I'm the best I've felt and less stressed in 10 years and Rose has been away quite a lot for being herself and him. But it's... Rose has got her life back. Do you know what I mean? It's mad. Rose is doing like work and good stuff and like I'm doing work but not too much work and it just like, you know. What else you've been doing? How long was your daughter off school last week and was a whole three days you have to do? Yeah, she did. She threw up on Friday night, Sunday night.

She was fine because my morning, but it was fine because my parents were here and her cousin was here. How did it go taking all the furniture down to Kormor? I've heard Rose has been listening to the podcast as well and Lou and we need to get them back on because they've been texting each other slagging us off. Yeah, I think. It went well it it went well. It went well. It went well it went well well well effort. So who unloaded it when your dad got down there? Well there's builders there. Right, okay. Anyway Rob. Yes, what's been doing with the kids?

Well, you know as the old quote says, you know, tell the truth, draw a tear, tell a lie, draw a smile. Is that what they say? That was a quote for Miracle on 34th Street, I think.

Don't get me wrong. She enjoys it. Don. I am quite excited to go downstairs and the Christmas music will be on and now we've got Magic Christmas until Christmas Day when I never want to hear a Christmas song again as long as I live. Yeah, Christmas, I'm sort of done by Box Day. Right, should we do um school business? Can I talk to you about Wamageddon? We'll do that in the next episode.

Wam I'm a do that in the next episode. WAM I get it. That's where you can't listen. When you, if you listen to last Christmas by Wham, it's over for you. Yeah, fucking grow up. Why, you don't like that? No. Why not that's a bit of fun, isn't it? It's not fun, Rob. It's people on Twitter being quirky. We're becoming, look, we're becoming miserable old men. We're becoming miserable old men.

It's a fucking hashtag game. Get all, I hate people like hashtag it. Look, we're 40, we've been it, we've been there, we've seen it, we've done it all. Nothing's better than your own house. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. You'll think it is, it ain't. Just get a nice house and stay in it. You'll be all right. Right, here we go. You know, Rob.

One of my, I've told you this before, one of my friends who works in the music industry, said the most impressive thing he's ever seen in his life was he was stood at the side of the stage when the Rolling Stones finished their glass to reset. Yeah. And he said they walked off. th. th. th. th. th. th. th is th is th is th is th is th is th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. tha. tha. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. tho. tho. tho. I I tho. I th. I I th. I th. I I th. I I th. I I th. I I I th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. It. It's. th. It's. It's. It's. I've. tole. I've. tole. tole. tole. tole. tole. I've. I've. said they walked off and as they walked off, in-sink four cars pulled up and they didn't break stride and they all stepped into four separate cars and the cars all drove off. Nothing's better than your own house, even for the Roman stones! And at the time I thought well that's a shame and now I think, good on you, Mick. That's how they're still alive. Yeah exactly. We've done it, we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're we're going. We're going. We're going. We're going. We're going. We're going. We're going. We're going.

Okay, here we go. Let's do this. Hi guys. What are you doing now? Small business. Hi guys. We love the podcast even to going through those early starts. It doesn't get any easier.

I'm a nation Christmas, mate. I love their views. I've been an avid listener since day one and would love to be considered for a small business shout out. I wrote bespoke, I write bespoke letters from Father Christmas that are the real deal. Each letter has unique and written specifically for the child based on information given when ordering. My letters include achievements, challenges, favourite TV shows, Christmas, films and much more.

It's always been important to me that they're not templated and are unique to the child. For example, if your child's visited greets on the summer holiday, he'll mention he's been there the year before and it was a shame to miss them. A lot of love goes into each one to make them as magical as personal as personal as personal as personal as personal as mas magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as magical as possible as possible as possible as possible as possible as possible as possible. Magical Rob. Magic. A website, my website is W.W.W.W.W. A magical letter. My website is W.W.W.W. A magical letter. And I'm on socials at a magical letter. Lovely. Stay sexy and relatable and don't forget the big la- the big man listens. So be good, Louise. Lovely stuff. Right, Josh, I'll see you on Friday. I look forward to it, Rob.

Hope you feel better. This Christmas on Netflix, British Crime Thriller, Silent Night. I haven't got choice. They're blackmailing me. They only to take out three brothers, three rings. This money could set up Daisy for life. Bang, bang, bang. Bang, it should be easy for a man in your abilities. Markie, if my family goes down, it won't be the only one.

They won't stop contacting you. They want you. They'll just keep going. You know as well as I do, Mark. This won't end well. Tell me when me, when when when people become so hard, Marky? If I could give her one good Christmas, I'd die a happy man. Silent Night, streaming exclusively on Netflix. Merry Bloody Christmas.
