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

Do you want to hear the voice again, Rob? I live in. I think that was Lou coming, Lou are you coming in? No, Lou's on my home. Sick kids, I'll expand later. They look for what I'm sorry about your back drop. You've got a Christmas tree and a book about promiscuous monkeys. Is that what they're called? I just called them Nobnos monkeys. Well, I'm sat here in this call. I'm at home. It's the strangest bookshelf I've ever seen. Just two books and one of them is about a rare type monkey. I've used it all the other books to prop up my laptop. Oh, okay. So I've got, so I've got, so I thought, you know, it's a comedy podcast.

Do you want a book about jewelry and hip-hop or the Rocky Balboa series of films or do you want Nobnose Monkey? Exactly, wildlife photographer of the year, I love it. They're from Hymoumst. They're from Lisbon, Lisbon, not. They're from Lisbon, not. It's a little bit, Lisbon. Yeah, it's spelled LISB-U-RN in Northern Ireland.

It's a few miles from Belfasthiato the email. I didn't know that. Your podcast kept me sane on many laps of our local part when Lucy was little and I imagine there remain a lifeline in these tough newborn days. You're a constant reassurance that we're all winging it and trying to keep a little people alive. Oh that's nice. Stay sexy and Relayne Chris, Lucy and Rose. There we go. Little people alive. Does that include you, Josh?

Yes, I suppose it does. We're all trying to keep me alive in a way, aren't we? Also, I love that I give you like short, better. I'm like an inch taller than you. I know. I. And I. And I. And I.

He's not much smaller than me heightwise. But there's something about some people look tiny. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, he's just got like, but you actually, you're quite wiry.

And if you sort of worked out, you'd look like a sort of scrappy UFC guy where Rishi Sunak literally has no meat on his body at all. What do you mean if I worked out Rob I'm fucking hench. No but if you actually sort of did some actual exercise rather than sort of stretching. Do you know me? No not and that's not a dig I mean I know I think fit but you're not pumping iron are you? I am pumping iron right? Okay are you? When do you pump iron as well? I do pump iron as well? do you pump iron occasionally yeah? Okay Okay. Can you hear Lou shouting in the background, by the way? I wouldn't have been able to tell it was Lou. Well, basically, yeah, so that's Lou.

She's just settling my daughter down, and then she's going to take the dog's rubble, so I should be quiet. Do you explain me to come over and do some heavy lifting with my muscles. Yeah, absolutely. It's so ripped. No, but I think you but what I'm saying is you've got a bit more of a wiry sort of musselly a frame than Rishy who is literally nothing of him. No he wears tiny suits. Yeah and he's suits are too fitted like his Connor McGregor but he's got the muscles in you can't have them that fitted without a little bit of a tonk a tonk do you mean? I know what is this podcast? What is it well? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is? Well? Well? What is? What is? What is? What is? What is?

how long does she have to be away for until she's left? She's gone, she's just gone to see the builders, but they've gone to Paris together. I don't know why that is. Well, I think there's no thing. Well, I think to check out French architecture or something. Sure, absolutely. And I'm the one 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 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 th. th. th. the the the the the the the the thia. the thia. thia. thia. thia. thi. thi. that's that's more straight on the nose than an innuendo, wasn't it? But like more like actual sex. And I'm the one that's tired, are we sure about that?

I'm really tired. Also, the sun is right in my eye. When I'm sat in the worst, I'm sat in the worst. I'm sat in the worst. Where are you? The sun's just broke from. The other day, I was so, I've been ill, right? Well, I'll give you an update of what's going on. Our house has been an absolute fucking disaster. Go update me on you, because I've heard your life has been stressful. I'm gonna sit back and chill out.

We're all ill, basically. Okay, yeah. My youngest daughter was ill a few weeks ago, she's rallied and now she's given it to me and Lou and my other dolls who just come in and we're just and but the problem is the one that gets ill first has loads of energy when everyone else is ill they give it to the parents and then you've got a chase run this nutter everyone else is it what I'll do is maybe I'll talk you through my day off I had a day off last Friday what kind of illness are talking about there there's the illness we their their their their their their their they they's are they's are they's are they's are they's are they's are they's are their they's are th is th is th is tho that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's are that's that's that's that's are are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's are that's that's that's that's their their th is th is th is th is thi their their tho their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the thoes thoo thoo that that that that that that that that that that sort of like antibiotics won't treat, but I've been on antipotics for a sinus infection as well, which is my voice is a bit nosy, and there's his viral thing. So it's coughing, massive fever temperature and exhaustion. Anyway, so let me talk to you about my last week, Josh, last Friday was my day off, okay? Been very busy.

I've been very busy. So what I was planning to do was my mate took a day off work my mate Jack he's got young kids so I was going to meet him in town in London to have some lunch have a couple of beers do a bit of shopping then we're gonna meet all our friends at work in London as they finish work so one was knocking off at three one was finished at five and then have a night out thrown out that-I th I th I th I th I the little little little little little th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I that that tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that tho tho-I tho-I tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the th one the the their one the the the the the the the th I I I I I I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th the th the the the the the the the to to to to to to the to to the to to the the the to the the the the the the the little lad's night out. Oh wow. Anyway, that is something I would never do because I'd like the idea of. Well, well I didn't Josh. Oh, well, spoiler alert, that didn't happen, okay? So we get up, we take the, drop the kids off at school and then we've got to stay for a performance, a little Christmas performance of my daughters, which is lovely. Now don't get me wrong, I love seeing my daughter

performed, she's six, well five at the time, she's six now. The word got us, the words got to stay were quite heavy. Yes, because if you don't see your children do that, basically what you're doing at this stage is you're putting money in the bank that you don't have to spend to spend to spend to spend to spend to spend to spend to spend their their, w w. their, w. their, w. their, w. their, w. their, what, what, what, what, what, what, what their, what their, what, what to to to to to their, what, their, to to to to to to to to to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to their, too, too, too, too, too, too, to to their, their, their, their, their, their money in the bank that you don't have to spend on therapy when they're 18. So every event you turn up at there's one less therapy session. Yeah, although the annoying thing for me and you Rob is we're paying for our own therapy. It's not like our parents. Yes, but that horse has bolted Josh. That's gone. That's something we just have to take in. that we can affect is 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. that. that's. that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, the, thirty, thirty, thirty, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. Thea. Thea. Thea. Thea, the, the, the, the, the, the, the. the, the. the. the. the. thea. thea.a. thea'''a'a'erer's, thea'a'a'er's, tea'er's one's one's one's one's one's one's one's one's one's take in. We can't affect any of that now, but what we can affect is the future. Okay? Yeah. And I don't know if you've been to these performances where it's a Christmas story and they'll

give them all like a line each. So there's like 30 or kids or whatever. Or if it's two years, sometimes 60 kids in their line each. So is this the main school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to their. 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 their. their. their. their. their. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. their. I. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the th. the the th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the the year. It's a school performance, right. So I've dropped this my day off, I've dropped him off at school, I'm hung around with Lou to watch the Christmas performance, right? In your reception they do a nativity and then they do like a year one and year two, so my daughter's in year one, year one, year one and year two performance where it's like, not the nativity, but a story, whatever it is, the problem is the problem, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they'll, they'll, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, their, their, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in their, in their, in their, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, a. their, in, in, in, a. recei, in, a. their, in, in, in, in, a. their, goes you know Mary and Joseph had a donkey next line and it's all broken up but the problem is all the kids deliver it in a completely different way so it's like why is the boot open on my car? What the? Okay lose out there thank God. That's not a line from the performance.

Oh, this happened the other day, right? Do you know what? People wonder why we don't get the same amount as Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart when we're so professional. Like... The other day, so I woke up the other day, um, I went to get in the car, you know, it was an the weekend, just gone. The weekend just gone. Awful storm. It rained in it for like 12 hours nonstop overnight and through the morning.

Anyway, I'm trying to get my kids to my daughter's birthday party. I go to get in the car, my lovely little Honda, the kids have have the door wide open. The car looks like it's been pulled out of a lake after they filmed a special of East Enders. You know when a car always goes in the lake and East Enders, right? It is soaking wet. How do you dry out a car? Well, you can't really. The floor mats are still wet on one side of the little Honda. It was awful. And then I had to put the heat in on to try and dry it out. And then I had to get them there but all the car seats were actually soaking wet. Soa. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. to. the, the, the, the, and then I had to put towels and yoga mats are found in the garage on to stop it soaking through. Oh my word. That was something else. Anyway so I'm at the performance and they've all got the line each and the problem. I've got to ask. Yeah go on. How long since the yoga mats in the garage were used? I genuinely if one of the first I took the to the the the the to took cell. I to to to to to the the the to to to to to the to the the to to the the the took cell. I took cell. I to took cell. I to to to to to to to to to to to to tooke. I to to to to to to to to to 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 to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I took. I took. I took. I took. I took. I took. I took. I was. I took. I took. I took. I took. I took. I took. took Should have left it on, keep it drier, even drier. Yeah, so you have the performance and I don't know if you've had to sit through these before

and they're lovely because you see your own kid doing what they do. It's impossible to follow the story because they're all doing their lines perfectly, but they're all different children, they've all got different volumes, all got different delivery or different intonation. So it's like, it was Bethlehem, and you know what it went to the Christmas, for half of Christmas and it came down the, and it's like, this is mental.

So you're just there, nodding, so So they just all stood in a row? What's the score? And it's... There's no acting out? No, so some of it is, but a lot of it is narration, but they've all been given a line each to learn, so it goes, boom, it's almost like dominoes. And is this the one your daughter was learning the pig sound for? The goat noise she does. Yeah, that one. Yeah, but she didn't th. th. th. th. th. they. they. th. they. th. th. they. th. th. they. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. But, but th. But, but th. But, but th. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, th. But, th. But, th. But, th. It th. It th. It th. It's all, th. It's all, they they they they've all, they've all, they've all, the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. the thooooo up and I was going to go and get Jack and driving back to my house and was going to go for a lovely dog walk, we'll have a coffee and then jump on the train from mine go to mine go to towar anyway. So I can't do that straight away because I've got a doctor's appointment.. Got a lump on my leg. Don't worry, it's going down, but it was panic stations for a bit, but it's slowly going. He reckons it was some mental nap bite, mosquito bite in Florida. Anyway, I've seen him, I feel a bit embarrassed because the lump has tied. He didn't even ask if you'd been to Florida. He looked to you and he went, it's from Florida. Look at him. A little oick that's th. He's a little, th. He's a little, th. He's a little, th. th. th. th. the little, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, I's a little, I's a little, I's a little, I's a little, I's a little, I's a little, I's thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I've thi, I'm thi, I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. M. M. M. Mere. Mere. Mere. Meree, I's, I'm thi, I'm tape, I'm tapi. M. M. M. I've too. M. M. M. M. M. I've tipe. M. M. M. I's mosaic. I've tipe. M. I who'll be in Florida a drop of a hat. So I've got in there and also I don't know about you but when you book a doctor's

appointment sometimes I'm like I'll get a bit stressed when what is, I want what I've got to go but I'd quite like it to bang around for a little bit so it doesn't look like I've booked an appointment because I'm nighed. So I was a bit like it's a bit annoying actually this lump's going down because I want him to think that I'm not insane. Yeah, of course, yeah. So he goes in there and there's just enough of a lump to make me not look insane. And I go right and then all of a sudden I get this weird phone call from the bank and text messages, nothing's being paid. Basically, that money, money's not got into the joint, money, money, the joint, money, the joint, money, the joint, money, the joint, money, the joint, money, money, the joint, the joint, the joint, money, the the their, th, th, th, th, thin, and thin, and thin, and thin, thin, and thin, and thin, and thin's, and thin, thin, thin, tho, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is thi's, thi's, thin, thi's, thi's, tho. So, thoooooooomomorrow, thi's, thi's, thi. So, thi's, thi's, because we've done a house move and stuff like that, we saw it, so like, oh no, so none of my bills being paid included in my mortgage. And I need to transfer money from my account into the joint account. I go on my app to do it, I've changed phones.

Oh no. Can't log in. This feels like Boris of the COVID inquiry. Right. So I, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. So, so. th, so. th, so. th, so. th, so. th, so. th, so. to, so. to, so. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me. to me. to me. to me. to me. 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. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No in, right? Cannot log in. Actually, my week I started sympathizing in with the WhatsApp messages because when I updated my phone, if you do I-Cloud backup on your phone, it backs everything up, but you need to do I-cloud, you need to do a WhatsApp separate backup. Here we go. Yeah. You didn't know about this. I'm not a Boris defender, but if you are changing phones, make sure you up, you back up your WhatsApp separately down. It won't do it on your eye cloud. Yeah, anyway. So I'm logged out my bank. I try and go on my desktop to log back in. Basically I make with HSBC you have to have this little security card like a little plastic thing, right? Once you've logged into your app, you never need that again because you can create one on the app. Yeah, can't get in me at. So I'll try and I try and I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the to the the to to the the to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, to to to to to to to to log. to logge. to logge. to log again, I, I, I to log, I, I, I to log, I, I to log, I to log, I their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the. I'm try, try, try, try, try and try, try and try and try, try and try and to logge. I'm try, to to logge. I'm try, me at. So I'll try and go online, can't do anything.

I've got to the bank. Bring my mate Jack. So I say to him, what I'll do is I pick you up. we'll go to Bromley. You can have a look around the shops, get a coffee. I'll quickly nip into the bank. And then he's like, actually, that's course. The business, because it's part of my business bank for my business. Did you have to go to the special desk? Special desk? Special desk. I sat the special desk. Fucking out. The special desk takes so long. Because everyone's doing sa.

Because it's business, the guy banking. I can't get on telephone banking. Every time I ring telephone banking they go, what's your special password? I don't know it and they hang up on me. Oh God. So I'm out. I'm out of telephone banking. So I'm I've just sat at a desk, ringing internet banking. My mate Jack's outside, he goes, you want a coffee? I got, yeah, right? And then it takes so long, he has to bring me a coffee. Looks like I'm some sort of like PA.

So he brings me a coffee. I'm sat there. We're ringing the internet, can't help. Anyway we go for it takes an hour right you know it takes an hour ridiculous anyway as I'm doing it I feel water on my head.

So Lou's freaking out, so I go, we've

Oh, I can't make three now. It's five, it's six. It's absolutely four 40-year-old men to organize a drink. It's actually fucking wasted time. So anyway, now he ends up on the school run with me. Oh, Jack.

And then Lou's like, you've got to go now. But Lou's a massive stressor. We get there. Because it was like, on this day, it gets so busy, you've got to go early. So, and then I'm like, I'm sorry, Jack. We just sat there like 30 minutes early. Oh, actually, no, me and Jack did do the dog walk. That's, we did do the dog walk, but we couldn't stop for a coffee because it was up against it. That's why it got a hand. And I went, it's in the garage, in the garden toy boxes, right? Lose like, no, it's not flipping her head. I come home. I said to I do not use the manual pump,

And then Lou's freaking out, so all of a sudden, look, Jack's now on his hand and Lee's inflate in bed so I'll to to dinner and I get changed because I'm still dressed for a dog walk. Cab arrives, I find a protein bar and a can of Coke for me and Jack. We have that in the car. We keep on a train from Walkington. Normally 15 minutes fast. It takes an hour. It's been delayed.

But I'm trying to, if anyone 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, if their, if their, if there's, thi, thi, thi, thi, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is thi, is thi, is th, is th, is th, is th.. thi, is thi, is thi, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is thi. thi. thi. thi.

So what we did Saturday is we've got, we go into Pizza Express at Victoria, then we go and see Wicked and then we've got to sleep over our house. The kids? You're the kids, not just track. So my daughter's invited four friends from school. With our two, we're taking six kids up. So we meet at the train station. We meet them all at the train station, and then we take them up on the train, tak for tak for tak for the food, the food, the their ta, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

I would recommend pre-ordering. So what we did was pre-ordered. We're not pre-ordered, but we got the pizza the order. So when we got their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. to. I. I. I. I. to. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'. I' to. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm.

That is true. That is clever. Did they kick off? No, not really, but someone like, oh, well, this, I want, you know, it was like, no, that's what we're having, kind of thing. So they didn't kick off, but if they do, and also, as well, I think, I th I th I th I th I th I th I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

Because Lou's going, we're doing too much here take.

Are you taking both the sisters as well? Yeah, so we left them out. We just took the four friends. It's your birthday. It's your birthday. So they all loved it to be fair, but like I don't think one of them had ever been to the theater before she was like, what times the film finish? I was like, they are, and I was like, they are real people, like, you know, I was a bit, oh, is this going to be a little bit theory for me? Because you know, there's musicals, there's like, well it's wicked. I there, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, there, th. I, th. I, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th.

Well, you're not going to see Pinter. I've never watched, well, for me it is a bit. I like, you know, I've never seen the Wizard of Oz,

so I was struggling with some of the references. Oh, right, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like black and white films, and I've got athis big boom in contraption of voice and there was quality because basically I'll sat behind the kids and there was those other kids in there as soon as their to their koats. It was just like 500 coats went up and they hid behind their coats. Just I can see of like Mexican waves of coats but no. So we went in there so. So we went in. So wicked all good train home so this is going well great to be fair it's busy we're tired but it's going well but on the train back right I'll go right everyone we're gonna get a McDonald's to eat on the train back okay so I'll go to McDonald's Victoria it's quite this is quite one goes nuggets, hamburger, nuggets, one's a wrap of the day.

I went, yeah, whatever, nuggets or burger. I'm not getting involved in that. I'm not sticking in a wrap of the day order, yeah. And they all go for nuggets, my daughter, yeah. And they all go for a burger, whatever. And then they're all arguing, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, yeah, 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, 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, yeah, I, I, I, I, yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the, the, the, the, the, manager of like, well you can sit next to the birthday girl for that bit of the trip, then you could do it and it was even in it. And is that because one person's more popular?

Is it the birthday hierarchy or just? It's well, they all want to sit next to the birthday, or just. They all want to sit next to the birthday, their. Go into someone's birthday now and giving a shit if you sat next to the birthday voice. Excuse me Josh, I know Tom Crane's there and he's your friend, but he did sit up next you on the train up to London. I mean James Acosta, your other friend and I'd quite like to sit with you going back. That would be a funny sketch actually of like you should like adults having a party like kids would. I thought of another funny thing. I was with Tom to to to to to to to to to 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 to to their to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their c.

I thought of another funny thing, Tom Allen I was with Tom Allen the other day killing time in town before a gig and he went to his hat he's got a hat maker, right? Jesus a milliner? Whatever they're caught. I did a hat

hat hat that but it was the oldest shop in London like Winston Churchill used to get his hat his hat to get his hat from there so. So I'm just sat in the corner the corner the corner like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner the corner like what what what what what what the corner like like like like what the corner like what the corner like what the corner like what the corner like. the the corner like the corner like what the the the the their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the. the. the. that. the. he. he's he's he his hat stretched right because his hat was a bit small. Is his hat growing? I don't know or maybe got it but or it shrinks in the wherever I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's beautiful hat he's got. You look like, you look like a detective right. And he's got this I always looked like I've just bunked off six-hulm early when I'm in a suit because we just thu. And I just thought I the funny a funny a funny a funny their thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho- I tho- likedun't tho- liked I've just thi thi thi tho- likedunct or maybe thi. I've just got thi. I've just got thi.

I've just sort sort sort thi. I've thi. I just thought a funny sketch of like, there was like, it's very fancy and very posh and I was like, yes sir, not a problem. Mr. Allen will stretch the hat for you, Perthie, we'll take it up as size. And I just imagine they go out the back and there's just a massive gaze of a massive edge and it's just like four of them just pull it down over his end. Anyway, so we're on the fourth child. I've never had McDonald's before,

I'm not allowed it. Oh, this is an awkward situation. Now what are you doing there, Josh? You're in a station, it's busy. There are other places you can go, but you're probably... I'm just going to run away and leave them to it. What do you mean leave them? I'm just the order in the food? I just can't deal with the stress. I'm just going to say you guys and go after yourselves. I'm going to I'm going to go and watch Wicked again on my own. Well no you'd probably have a quick conflab with Rose would you? I'd say do you want, why don't I take you to Pratt and the others because I've McDonald's. Right. Okay and that's I think do you know what? do you know what that's that? Do you. Do you. Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

I'm the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the right decision and you're a better man than me and I went well you're with me now you can have it what do you want nugget or burger oh she went oh I don't know when do you like chicken nuggets normally she went yeah yeah when you can have nuggets and chips then yeah yeah right fine

I'm that I just went you having it to they're having it on the train they're all buzzing and excited they're having a great day out they're they they're the the they they they they the they the the they the they the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their they they're they're they they're they're their their they're they're they're they're to to to they 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 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 thoooooooo their their their their their th their they're having it, they're having it on the train, they're all buzzing and excited, they're having a great day out, they're loving it, right? And then they all play, I'm sat there because I've got, Lou's got my other daughter, the youngest in one corner. What I would say is though, the mistake we had was I reckon I, there or two friends and then the youngest can invite a friend her age so she's got someone to hang with yeah was the youngest a bit left out yeah so because she's younger she was trying to get in and they do know her from school and they were letting in with games which also she's younger so it doesn't really flow as well so I think looking back we would have gone less friends to come and stay over and then one friend who made because she's a bit younger maybe didn't stay over but came for the day. You know what I mean? Yeah, did your daughter have a difficult choice to choose the four friends? Yeah, really difficult. She's popular and friends with everyone and

stuff like that but and the friendship groups change all the time but she a little bit it's a bit of like a the theyn't, she comes down the stairs. I thi. I. I. I. I. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a bit. It's. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit. It's a bit, it's a bit, it's a bit, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, it's, their. It's, it's, their. It's, it's, their. It's, their. It's, 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. the stairs I think I'm actually I'm like you have to pretend to care but you like just okay all right then well you know and then like once you made decision though you can't uninvite anyone so let's just make sure you know all that shit and so yeah but she's a bit worried about sleeping over I'm like okay right you know whatever so you've fenced. So you've forced fed this told McDonald's the to the try so 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 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 try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. stuff. She's getting it down. And anyway, so we're on the train, they're on the train smashing this McDonald's, and I'm like military operating, because I've got us on a six berth. They're playing, they're playing this game which stressed me out.

Promise, dare kiss or swear. swear, do a dare or promise, right? And the point, so like you'll go Rob and I was like, okay, and then they went kiss, you've got a kiss. I was like, okay, but you can't kiss your own daughter? I went, well I'm not playing this game. I'm not sat on a train. Blaine, kiss there, promise, how was the birthday? Well? Well, he gave me my first McDonald's and then kissed me. So I said I'm not playing the game, you play the game. Anyway, we get them off the train. This, I still can't believe this bit happened. We get off the train, we're waiting for taxis to take us back home, right? We're gonna get two cabs. One of the kids. Luckily the one that had had a McDonald's before, sick everywhere. Spews up. Looze like got her outside the station rubbing a back. And then we hear from the other kids because they all, when they get like groups of young

girls together, it's just like hysteria. They're just like, oh my god. She's been sick, she's being sick. It was just like madness. And then apparently she gets travel sick. And I was, she did have a big coat on, on a train, going backwards, eating a McDonald's, and stuffed in to a carriage. So she's being sick. So, ring the parents, I think, right, also as well, at this point, a couple of the girls were like, we're not sure if we're going to to stay going to stay going to stay going to stay going to stay going to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay to stay over so they're all part of a party but if we lose a couple it's not the end of the world. Yeah as long as there's one you don't want a full right off. No that's terrible but we the two of the girls had already stayed at hours before so I'm like they are nailed on staying the other two had a sleep and I was like we'd love them to stay but if I'm not they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to they to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the their their they they they they they they go they go they go they go they go they go their their their their their their th their their their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to tothere's two less children to look after overnight. Right, yeah. Anyway, she rallied the girl that was sick.

We chuck him in a cab. We get them home and then we get him, do you know what though? It was better to go and do something in the day because by the time they got home and of course they're already eaten, teeth, brush the teeth, have. in the bedroom to have a sleepover was like actually this is quite good because they've not messed the house up. If you've got eight kids in a house all day, it's carnage. We get them in there and then my daughter, my kids go sleep straight away almost and then the other two that stayed over, the two that never stayed over before up chatting, up chatting to the to the tocks to the told night. Mat to me. to me. the the the to me. the the the the the the the to get the the the the to get to get the the to get the to get to get to get half 11, turned all the lights off, took the dogs out front of way, they're still up there chatting away.

Fucking out. And then, um, and then they got up at like five mornings. Did you feel like, they should go up there? to go up there, so they were like whispering and chatting. They weren't being difficult or loud at all. They were really well behaved, to be honest. However, we did take, I'll pick him off about 11 the next day and then at like 5.30 on the Saturday,

Louie was like, yeah, if you wanna come and get them at 9.30 in the morning, Because this is how busy, because in the next day, I didn't realize fully lewd book this. So that we've got a sleepover, they're coming to get them at 9.30 in the morning, then what we get, I can't believe we've nearly done a whole episode and I've got to Saturday. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. the dog through a walk right yeah get him out the house while loads of people are coming to pick up the kids when I come back after a dog walk kids have all gone now at midday Lou's got a woman arriving to do

reef making for her family sisters and a couple of friends so it's like 12 people coming around her house to make Christmas reefs yeah yeah but she brings all the gear so theyff. So at midday a woman arrives with like 15 boxes of stuff and like boot sale tables to set up and they're making reefs in my kitchen, right? About 12 people and I'm like, okay, right. That's happening. So while this is happening, my eldest who's not feeling too good in bed, she's fine, she's just laying in bed with her her iPad. Is she just, and she just had too much birthday. Too much fun and this is the start of her being under the weather, okay? And then she's still on well a week later. Get up.

So now I've got to take my daughter, I take my daughter to a science party. She's got a science party from her school friend, which involves, so basically, it's making a scientist, there's a scientist, and there's a scientist, and he was like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, and what, and what, and what, and what, and what, and what, and what, and scientists, and scientists, and what, and scientists, and what, and scientists, and scientists, and what, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and scientists, and, and, and, and scientists, and scientists, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, and, and, and, and, and, and....... to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to so it was nice scientist guy, but there's quite a lot of kids in the class and he was like, what you've got to do is quite instruct you've got to do this, you've got to do that. At some point, the two kids started having a fight. I've never seen a proper sport. They were arguing from these two kids in their and my daughter's class. And then the science guy was, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, can, what, what, what, what, what, can, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, the, what, the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, you, you've their, you've a nightclub. Oh my God. So anyway, I've come

back from the party, that's 2 till 4, so I do the party, come back from the party, and then Lou has got people arriving from 5 p.m. for a Christmas drink. Fucking Nora. I'm like this weekend's mental, right? And so their Christmas drink. And so some are staying after the reef making and then 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 tooom.a. tooom. to to to to tooom. tooom. tooomper. tooompern. tooompern. tooes. tooes.

So it's a few friends of Luz that came. So they're coming and about 25 people came. And then, oh my God. They come from 25 and 7. Anyway, we end up getting drunk, had a quality night, but before we know it's one a

thi thii. that's a Sunday? Yeah. And then we've got a school run the next day. Oh my word. But I tell what the best part of it was. Basically, sometimes when it's dark, the easiest way, and raining, the easiest way to get out of our house, to get out of our house, to get someone into the cab is to go through the garage, right, and it absolutely stinks. I don't know what to do. It basically needs a bit more ventilation, but the builders are coming back to do it, but they haven't yet. Absolutely stinks. And then when we drive the car in, it brings in the mud and the way and it's that horrible, dank sort of smell.

Anyway, I thought, I would say, the kitchen. And one of our friends as they left, she went, oh, your garage smells lovely. And I was like, that's the best compliment I've had. Because it stunk for weeks. She said my smelly garage smelled line. Now, so this brings us to Monday, Josh. No. It's still going. Oh, yeah. So, still going. So what I've got left left is, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to too. the the tooom. the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tha. thoomoomea. thoomorrow. thooooooooooomeauoomorrow. toooomorrow. toooomorrow. thoooomorrow. thoo still going.

That's a big place to have a boomer.

This is from Matt 280 months from Aylesbury in Bucks. Hello, Rob and Josh, a boomer story for you here. When I was young, growing up, I hated having my hair cut done. I would cry and scream if I had ook me to the garden and tied me to a chair, and then cock off, fuck off. I hated this... Like reservoir dogs? I hated this even more and tried to get out of the chair.

Of course he did! And in doing so, oh this is awful Josh, I fell over onto the patio floor and cut my head open. Fucking how! Screaming in pain, my dad looked over to me and said, serves you right. What? Awful. That is not boom.

I'd classify that as abuse. Yeah, I would as well, yeah. I recommended the podcast by a friend and I'm now hooked. Got a baby in the way, due 8th of December. Good luck, Matt. That is horrible. Poor old Matt. 280 months. What's that in old money?

So it's like 20. 22, 23. But that's mad. Because his boomer dad would have been doing that around 2,000. When you were shagging duel-leipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipipur that in in that in that in that in that in that in the to a to were shagging dualiper in Manchester.
