Oh, this is one of the greats. This is the first time I've had father and daughter, also as well, we both love Joddorfer Ross, long career in the industry, from a selfish point of view for us, I've always found it very interesting to see how someone that's been in
Starting point is 00:06:30 the public eye for a long time with children has dealt with that and the impact it's had on the kids because that's something that we're living with right now where our children are going to school and stuff and we're thagh..... and stuff and stuff and stuff and we are their their th.

Starting point is 00:07:46 and you forget not to look towards the mirror. And you sort of like slurped past it. Like jubber. Like jubber. A sort of sentient bin bag past the mirror. Right past it.

Having good hair when you're older. Isn't that the very definition of being damned by faint praise?
Starting point is 00:08:12 You look very good. See if you'd have ended up with, Rob. See if you'd have ended with the conversation, Rob, we would have had you on the show. Do you know what? I'm interested in this, Rob. Why are you so obsessed with baldness, Rob? It's the third time this week you've told me you're relieved you're not bald? Because I've realized a lot of my friends and people I work with that are my age, tho' their loa's like it goes earlier than this. It would have thinned out. Yeah, if it was going to go.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I'm not worried about losing. Are you not? You just want to make them feel bad? Yeah, okay. The fucking. I'm fine. going he has never used bottle dye this is all his he's natural yeah I presumed you dyed your hair never why would I you know me well love do you think I give enough of a shit about anything to brother spending any extra time on grooming whatsoever I resent the fact I have to shower
Starting point is 00:09:18 he's true it's but he really does you know I sometimes go at least a week with that shower really yeah he hates to be clean but he really does. You know, I sometimes go at least a week without showing. That's your favorite little treaty. Yeah, he hates to be clean. At least, so does Jane sometimes. Well, like a couple of hamsters in their own straw in that bed. You're filthy. Yeah. And so when was the last time you shower, honey? It was yesterday. What's wrong with you? I didn't do the exercise. How often do you shower, honey? Is that a fair question? Or are we going to spread it out?
Starting point is 00:09:45 How dare you? No, I said, start with that. God, I think my rebellion, as your child was now, I bathe way too much. I have a half a day. I have a swed bathing. I didn't have a shower thrown. I'm a shower. I'm a shower. I'm a shower. I. I didn't have. I didn't have. I didn't have shower. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't have to have to have to have to have to have a shower. I didn't have to have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't have. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I didn't have a shower. I tax as a rebellion. How often do you shower Rob? Every day yeah even if you've got nothing on so every morning even if I've got nothing on he doesn't show in clothes. Well I go out in the rain does that count? Yeah I'll get I have a shower
Starting point is 00:10:19 every morning if I'm going somewhere or doing something if I'm just doing the school run then I'm doing a bit of exercise or walking the dog later. Yeah, yeah. Old shower that night before bed. Would you? That's as stinky as I get. I love being clean. But the other extreme, the other extreme though, is I sometimes shower before having a bath, do you the baths.
Starting point is 00:10:33 the debris? Well, we should do that at the intros properly. Obviously we've got Jonathan Ross and Honey, Honey, Honey Ross. Honey, honey, honey Ross? Honey Ross? Honey Ross? What you mean, what's her surname? I didn't know. I'd say that's actually the more exciting surname these days. Yeah, you are a Goldman and the Ross, wouldn't you, at a moment? I mean, but you don't have a saying the matter because legally, you are bound to me for life,
Starting point is 00:11:10 unfortunately. I am yours, yes, I was sworn. I mean, you could, kids can get separated from their parents. I'm emancipation. I've loved into it, parent we've had on the show. Wow. Yeah, we've got Andy and Miquita Oliver coming up, which is mother and daughter. Have you had father and sons a lot then? Is it just conventional old school thinking on your part? Or it's just not many young women want to come on. I think we're the first intergenerational, it's quite fun to interview people, you know, who are cross-generation, we can say, honey, which parents work are
Starting point is 00:11:46 you more proud of? Oh my God. Put me on the spot. If I were you, I would be more proud of mom's work. I think I'm incredibly proud of both of you because you've both done so many wonderful things independently. I've worked much harder and much longer than she had. She did it with kids. She did it with kids.
Starting point is 00:12:06 You weren't like carrying children. Like okay this is not me you know snapping out your shine because you're incredible. Here's the deal. Like she started her film career after she had three kids. You were childless and a TV presenter, yeah, which is amazing but it's not the same level of effort as incredible screenwriting and carrying children. And we all complain less about it. Writers, you've never, I've got two writers, I'm like, oh my God, they act like they're rebuilding the Ottoman Empire.
Starting point is 00:12:35 No, it was a tough day. I tell you what's a tough day, a tough day, apart from sitting on your front of a computer screen and all in deliver who. And yet somehow, somehow writing is so hard. I tell you what, try doing what I used to. Try doing a little bit of removals. That's hard on a wet Wednesday morning when you're carrying a double filing cabinet upstairs with a lazy man on the other end. What was the last time you did removals? That's not the point Rob. Try and stay focused on the filing cabinetstime you did removals? That's not the point of. Try and stay focused to the... Not even as filing cabinets anymore. I still move stuff for and I'm not very attentive father whenever you need anything done at your house.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yes, you will help me move things. I take your rubbish away when your rubbish is built up. The number of times I've leftied your cat's little I've seen carry a whole mattress out of my siblings house. Oh double a single a double a double a double on his own on his own on a windy day I'd have been gone. I hope you had a shower after that Jonathan. He definitely didn't he sticks to the hair dye the mattress and he just balanced it off the tuck I tell you what I tell you I tell you what I tell you I tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell tell I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the I'm w. I the I the I the I the I to to to to to the to that I should should should should should should should should should should should should should should. I should. I should. I should. I should. I'll should. I'll should. I'll should. I'll should. I'll should. 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'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll. I'll.

I'll something which I shouldn't share with you, but I once went, when we were on holiday, we have a place over in Florida which we've been going to since you, well we had it since before you were born, so you've only ever known that.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Because it's sunny and I'm jumping out of a swimpo, I didn't think about it, I probably didn't think about it. I probably didn't showe to save didn't go. I'm not making it up. I had to shave the hair off my armpit. Oh my worst. It was so ingrained. Did you balance it up or did you have one shaved armpe? Oh, I just did the one because why would you do two?
Starting point is 00:14:16 The other one was still fresh. Wait, that's bizarre. That's a bizarre choice to me. Well I favored the right arm was doing all the work. Yeah so what you do in that right arm to get it that smelly and swearing and overworld? That's a low bar Rob that's even for Josh even for Rob that's an obvious. Look I just funded why it was one arm to another. Look Rob you can go on to Jonathan Ross's. Ray accused Rob of doing a dad joke. Oh, you've got a piece of dad joke by National Treasure. Oh my goodness. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:49 That was a tough shift after John Squire. I was still reeling it. You did very much do a lot of heavy lifting there and I appreciate that. That was carrying a fucking mattress. No, I'm a chippin' mattress. But sometimes you do the show and you do have to earn your money. That's the way it goes.
Starting point is 00:15:09 That's the place. Fair enough. Honey, what's it like, what's it like, their dad, you're working with your mom and your dad being so well known? And also like, not only is your dad being so well known and also like not only is your dad Jonathan famous he was like an extrovert with his clothes and acquires taste? Yeah, it does an interesting question. The man dressed as Freddie Kruger. I mean I've been incredibly lucky like you're a wonderful father. Genuinely like hand on heart being very earnest. I'm incredibly lucky. I love my parents. We encourage earnest as well so don't
Starting point is 00:15:47 worry about that. We'll snip that out. Okay. I'm saving that my parents. Clearly, no, I'm incredibly close to my parents. Clearly, like we have a film podcast that we do together, which kind of came out of our actual interest and just talking about films together all the time and I'm best friends with my mom. I love my parents clearly. Growing up in the public eyes weird. It's very surreal. I mean nobody really wants to hear about it because it's like oh it must have been so hard for you. It was strange you know I like I remember once my bedroom window was on the news and that was quite unsettling. But all things considered. That was during the Sax skate period where I stayed indoors for long while. As advised the the the the the the the the the the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the BBC the b I said the b. I said th. I said th. I said th. I was th.

That was during the Saxgate period where I stayed indoors for a long while. As advised and requested by the BBC, I said, let me just go out and speak to him, get rid of him.
Starting point is 00:16:28 No, stay in when you, yeah. And I think they had done agenda, which they never fully shared for me. And so we had like to the journalist. Yeah, two months. long I could keep it. One time I had to go out and I went over the back wall and went through someone else's garden got a car to pick me up somewhere else you got out in the town and came back in. And were you going to school and stuff during that time, huh? Yeah. I was going to school and like pushing through the crowds. Like I was like, I was like bring them tea because they'd be out there for hours so you were like let's like make a pot of two for them and
Starting point is 00:17:06 like give them to you for something we only did that once it wasn't like it was it was a cuck up and say but what was I was gonna say I was gonna come out and say I'm glad I did it which was a to come out of a't done it. But it was that kind of like frenzy. And that was kind of before, things are a lot calmer now. Ever since all the hacking came out, the papers have quite rightly backed off of being quite as vindictive and quite as ludicrous as they were at the time. And I think it had very down in a way which must be difficult for you.
Starting point is 00:17:45 No, oh my God, I'd do it again. Like you were kind of cocooning and hiding and we watched all of sex in the city together. And like I have really fond memories of that time. Obviously it was a really dark time and complicated, but like we always, because as much as my dad presents as an extrovert. He's he's, he is, he is, he is, he th, he is, like he loves his own company. He would be on his own most of the time if he could. So that was my way in of like we would watch things together and be cozy together. I think if anything I'm just jaded by the media. I don't remember watching sex me together. I remember some shoes but I remember some shoes but was there because you grew up as you say like door of celebrities and stuff, but did
Starting point is 00:18:26 you have discussions you and Jane about whether you were going to take your children into public what the rules were or was it kind of different in that time? You mean in public, like just going out in public? Yeah, or going to events and stuff. You know what, we didn't even think about it, maybe we should have done? But no I think we we thought we weigh their their their, we're th, we didn't, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.. We're, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, to to to, tho, to to, their, their, their, 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, toge, toge, toge, tolde, tolde, tolde, tolde, tolde, told, their, their, but no I think we thought we're going to live our life the way we've always lived our life and in the same way and not let things change. And bear in mind as well, you know, most of the time I've known both of you, most of honey's life, I have been quite successful on TV, but I had beckled very successful in tea, but I became very successful, I became very, th................ finished really or certainly slipped way from the top tea I was no one's first choice and so I'd had a kind of roller coaster anyway so and that was
Starting point is 00:19:08 the year we had our first child Betty was born in 1990 and so it was like I wasn't particularly a news story then yeah yeah people were interested I suppose but there wasn't that much and then my career didn't really to kick off into the way that you were not until 2000, which would have been when you were three. Yeah. Because 2000 was when I'd, well about 1990 it doesn't, was I moved back to the BBC, started doing the Radio 2 show that was very popular, started doing the talk show again that became the very popular show for them. So I suppose I'd had that period with Betty and Harvey where we had been of less interest. And once again, and the press was not to to to to to to 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 the the they. they. the the the their, the their, th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, well, well, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm, I'm, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I was, about. It became really bad about 97, 9899, when they were just following, I'd go out with Harvey across the field and I'd see two people in the bushes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Filming us and you think, I'm just taking info walk and you've seen both of us. Or we'd get followed when we go to town. We've got chased home from to the fun fair and we got a car chase. Why are you? What do you things are going to happen? We were probably chased by paparazzi. We've been on the bumper cars and we're going back to our house. What do you think's going to happen? No, it was thin. There was no sort of story around you then. Was it was just a story. And was just a story. It was just like, their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It was. It was. th. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. th. It was. th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It. It. It's. It. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. 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's. It animal. It was really strange. I think though there was such an appetite for papua the pictures generally in the newspapers that lots and lots more people became papuazzi and so they were just following like where we live in North London there's quite a lot of famous people in a fairly small concentrated area so I think they were just whizzing around and I don't know where they're
Starting point is 00:20:36 specifically for us but whenever they saw you going somewhere interesting. They might be doing or they might fall over or something. We're never going anywhere in your interest. That's what they're after. The worst time it ever happened actually you won't remember this I don't think because you were tiny but the one thing I really got pissed off of them. I'd been for a swim with you and you'd cut your foot on something sharp in the swimming pool and so I raised. And so I raised that that that that that that that that that that that their their their their their their their they they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd to their to to to their to to to go to go to go to go to go to go from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from from. 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 to bed. to to to to this, our phones were being hacked because no one would have known where I was, was going, and I phoned Jane, your mom and I said, don't panic, I don't think it's any serious, but honey's cut, there's a lot of blood the sort of soft tissue on the foot, it bleeds a towel. I do that's quite a swimming costume wrapped in a towel. I'm looking really concerned. And that then you think that's pretty hideous, but they must have somehow worked out presumably from this to Funk was I guess where we were going or they just followed us from there.
Starting point is 00:21:33 So moments like that you think well this is just really inhumane. Not in the grand scheme of things, not the things that go on that really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really. It really. It's, yeah. It's, yeah, it, it, it's, yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the, I'm, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'll, I'll, I'll, I's, I the, I the, I the, I, I, I the, I, I the, I the, I the, I their, I, I their, I their, I their, I their, I's, I's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. thr-I'm thr-I'm thrown. thrown, thr-I'm thrown, thr-I'm thrown, thrown, thrown, not comparing it to anything substantial like that, but it was really uncomfortable. And so we did get a little bit more, I think, in a way, maybe it worked to our advantages of family because we became very, you kind of draw the wagons around and you become your own self-contained unit. And you still go out and do thin. to thi to to' out and do thin. thii. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their their their their th. their their their their their their thi. their their thi. thoooooooooooooo. thooooooooo. their tho their their their a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little a little their a little their their th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. th. th. th. th. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and not normalize it, but try and kind to make it seem less intrusive by dealing with it and pushing it away and saying that's just what happens, it's horrible, but you know, the idiots and find jokes you can make about it. I think you're also very good at being like, oh well, you know, this is the downside of something that comes with a lot of upsides. And like you would be, you, you, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Thank you so much. Well it's like that's the deal, isn't it? It's like, it's on the one hand sure you did have a different and there must be I be I be I be I be I be, I be, I be, I be, I be, I be, I be, I th and thia, I thin, I thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that's that, it's that, it's that's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, it's that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, it's that sure the most of the all but the other time you're here. All things considered I'm very lucky very grateful I got off lightly like no complaints. No complaints that's the
Starting point is 00:22:50 best thing you can say. That's what you want from your kid no complaint. I mean no complaints publicly but that's between me and God. Yeah what was the best things that you got taken to honey like was the thi their their their their their their their their the best. the best. the best. the best. that that the best. that that that that that the best. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the best. 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. the the the best. the the best. the best. the best. the the the best. the best. the best. the the the best. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th Was there things really like, this is mad? Oh, okay, this is a bit of a, it's not niche, but I feel like it maybe hasn't aged that well, but we went to the final Harry Potter premiere and it was insane. They took over all of like Leicester Square, there was like a walk for like two miles. Yeahthere's like death eaters spinning around and like everybody just was so excited and it was at the time and it was like obviously at the height of its success. Yeah, all the cast were there because I didn't. Daniel Radcliffe was there and he waved to us he was like, hi guys. And I was like, I'm, oh wow.
Starting point is 00:23:37 How old you've been at this point? Oh my God. I think you went to all of the Harry Potter films. I was doing the film show then so I remember going to the set of the first one before it was finished and interviewing the kids there then I think I hope was success. And then do you remember the one they had one premiere that's amazing where you drove a little way out of town but they set up a train at some such which was like the premiere in the Hogwarts Express? No. That was incredible but it also it's kind of nice because we have this strangest kind of collection of photos of us that exist that we didn't even know were being taken of us in the weirdest outfits like at early 2000 premieres like hi like looking
Starting point is 00:24:16 absolutely feral because we obviously we don't have the best taste. No, do you see don't say that about yourself. We have great taste. We have great taste. It's just not everyone's cup of tea. I don't ever think I look anything other spectacular. Even when I know objectively I look terrible. No, you look great. You always look great. What was the... Sorry, I got distracted by the thought of Jonathan's outfit that he wore, the big shoulders. It was a good jacket. That was a fairly modern jacket. But I wore a jacket, I wore an outfit when I did Tipping Point last time, I love
Starting point is 00:24:49 going on those sort of shows. You're so weirdly good at Tipping Point as well. I'm so proud of you. They definitely chase and tipin point. They make it easier when the celes are always a little bit easier. The questions are always a little bit. A hundred percent. The the the the the 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. The th. The th. The th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I I tip. I I I I I I I I tip. I I I tip. I I tip. I t. I t. I t. I t. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tip. I tiping. I tiping. I tiping. I tiping. I tiping. I tiping. I tipick. We ever heard about a guy called Napoleon. And you go yeah I've heard of him yeah and waterloo. Anyway and the first question where did Napoleon beat his defeat? I went on tipping point and I never know what to wear anyway and I really care I just want to be comfortable to be honest with you. I'm wearing elasticated trousers as we speak. I dug out a jacket that I recently got out of one of my cupboards, which was a jacket I bought in like 91, which was a weird, very broad shoulder, Jean-Paul Gouchet, with no buttons, you have to slip it over your head, but it looks like a formal jacket,
Starting point is 00:25:31 but it's nipped, some big flare travels from the same period, a weird shirt, a weird, bingo. Went on there, I about a week, like, you know the way they do the thing, if someone says something on Twitter and the newspapers pick it up as if everyone's been saying. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it was like, tipping point fans left confused and upset by Jonathan Ross's clothing. You can find this online. It says, one person said, boy, he looks like he dressed in the 90s.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yes, I did that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when that's when I that's when I that's when I that's when I that's when I that's when I that's when I that's when I was when I was when I was when I was when I was when I was when I was when I was trying to look like I was dressed in the 90s. That was the point I was going for. Honey, do you offer Jonathan advice? Like when you were kids, did any of your career decisions come to your family? Did any of your clothing decisions come to your family? Clothing and career, oh, that's the two very big and two very different spheres. Definitely clothing. I mean, I don't need to give him advice like he is a fashion enigma like he does I'm literally wearing my old shirt right now like I have this top which is my favorite bit to tell people I've got this
Starting point is 00:26:32 top which is vintage jump or go to a today from my dad but it is a V down to my belly button that's how deep the V is and then it's a lace up and then people like, oh, I love your top. That's a bit sexy and I'm like, yeah, it was my dad's in the night. I'm sorry, I've got correct, that was, that was Tierra Mugler. Sorry, it's a Tierra Mugler top, which I used to look dynamite in back when I had a waste. Yeah, and now I've got the waste for you, but. But career wise, I've got this guest on and I think it might be a bit of a tricky area. What do you think is the approach? What are the correct words to use without alienating someone from that world? And often the advice is good. Sometimes it swings a little bit too far in one direction, then I would maybe be comfortable with not from you so much. But certainly career-wise, I did make a decision based on a ta ta. I was offered quite a their.. A thi. A thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toe. toe. toe. toe. too. too. too. too. too. too. toda. toe. toda. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. I turned that down partly because the main reasons I didn't want you guys to grow up in America. Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:28 my mom and I talked about it. I'm grateful for that. And we just thought I don't want to, why don't you grow up? But we love America don't we do love America but like I love being alive. I didn't want you to go, the other reason why I didn't take it is, I would have had to work harder. They wanted me to do five shows a week and I had to keep Saturday clear for meetings for like 44 weeks of the year. And the BBC was saying, I tell you what, you do one show a week for 40 weeks.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah, you know which one I'm going to be extent and I've always been I consider himself very lucky I mean obviously I've been lucky in many ways but in my career what's the most beneficial for me as a sort of like just as a human being connected with you is that the working hours we have in TV aren't regular working hours or they very rarely are they offer a handful of people if you're certainly behind the scenes but if you're front of camera you have much less of an early start a much more late finish every day when I was doing my heaviest workload at the BBC even then I didn't have to leave to go to work before I dropped you guys at school yeah you always to the most mornings and more often than not I could be there to either
Starting point is 00:28:36 collect you from school at least be home when you got home you know unless I was on a studio day as well as I used to do the film show we recorded it in the middle of the afternoon. The only thing that really impacted was when I did that radio show of about 11 years and that was every Saturday morning live. I used to feel bad and good because I knew that mom was after find time with you and I felt good because I could be away from all of us. three or four blessed hours. But I remember when you used to do the radio show, you would like do a tribute song to us. You'd know we'd be in the car driving, you'd be like, this one goes out to honey and Jane like on their way to wherever we were going. And like, that's so sweet.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Even when you're working, you'd find a time to kind of acknowledge our existence. I bet Romash won't be doing that. the great things about your kind of partnership on the podcast is you can feel the different in generation attitude wise I'm trying to I'm just how to frame that I didn't realize before but this is good cop bad cop that what ends to be a simple person you have pretend to have depth. How often do you end to have depth? Deep cop, shallow cop, that's what we play. Now that's real talk.
Starting point is 00:29:53 How often do you end up in arguments about kind of... No, we don't argue. I don't think we've argued for years. I think occasionally we've had family tension around films, but that's more to do if someone has... when we've been along with someone else in the family and they really hated the movie and then if people are praising it and you see them simmering in the back of the van thin, weigham. We've had that one to try.
Starting point is 00:30:14 We did one big fight about Dan Stevens. But you know what I, you know what, though, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thee, th. th. And, th. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. Yes. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha, tha, tha, tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha,... That was other things. It wasn't about other things. It's never about Dan Stevens. It's about real stuff. You know what I mean? And then we haven't dealt with the real stuff and it comes out via Dan Stevens. There's like any arguments normally something else who's brewing. But you know what, I'm in a much, I'm much years ago I'd probably struggle, but you know, having done the film show for like 10 or 11 years and other stuff, that was an interesting thing for me because
Starting point is 00:30:47 I went for a period of first of all thinking I really have to lay down my opinion, I have to be really certain about it and I felt like I almost had to be unswerveable that people couldn't took me out of it. I had to be so convinced I was right. And as I th I th I th I th I th I was th I was th I started th I started th I started th. And as I started th. And as I started thired I started thi I started thi. And as I started thi. And as I started to to get to get thired thirty I was thirty I was thi. And as I was thirty I was throwned throwned thi. And as I was thi. And as I was first first first first first first first first first first I was to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get th. And I was first first first I was a a to get th. And I was a thi. And I was a thi. And I began to get thi. I began to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get a to to to thrown, I'm thrown, I'm thrown, I'm thrown, I'm thrown, I'm thrown, I'm to to th that didn't work for me. That's all it is. It just didn't work for me. I hope it works for you. So you get much gentler in your kind of critical reaction to something where you're saying, okay, well this is what I didn't like. It's not Oppenheim I mean, I really do not get the fuss about up and I think it's a film which seems superficially intelligent. It's got bad a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. I a bad. I a bad. I a bad. I the the the the the the the their. I'm a their. It's a their. It's a their. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film. It's a the film is a the film is a the film is a super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super super. It's a super. It's a super. It's a super. It's super-a. It's super-a. It's superficient. It's super-a. It's superficient. It's superfici. It's superficially. It's superficially. It's a film. It's a film, it's a film, it's superficially. It's superficially. It's got bad casting. They shouldn't have cast a non-Jewish person as Oppenheimer or Einstein. The supporting writing is terrible, that none of the characters are fully developed. The plot itself trickles off towards the end of some bullshit about whether or not he gets reinstated to his job. Who cares? He's blown up after the planet. And finally, they shy away from showing you the true horror of what he did, which I think is then really chitin and out and wanting to have their cake and eat it. You see his reaction to what he realized he did, but we're not allowed to see it. And so it failed as the movie to open the door
Starting point is 00:31:50 to what is probably a much-needed debate by now about the proliferation and nuclear weapons. But having said, It's all fine and I'm thrilled people like it and I'm really pleased it did so well because it is a least an attempt at making movies which are different. I like superhero films, I like blockbusters, I love a good Jason Statham, but I want cinema to have a bit of everything and that's how we continue it. But do you think you think you've soft, remember that big row having David Bediel? Well, Reagan we're like an old couple, you're like an old married couple. And he loved the film Pearl Harbor and I thought it was just awful and I maintained my
Starting point is 00:32:35 opinion is still that it's barely watchable, God fake historical nonsense and he loved it and we had a big row almost ended the 7 of 5th. We had another big row about 28 days later and I admit I was being pedantic. Yes. Should he be here instead? We were on holiday one so but you were there. I think the man of well. And we had such a big film. I had to leave our hotel room and go out and knock on Easter and carry it on. I went no. I've not finished. in a way it is a zombie film, but they're not zombies in it. It's kind of a zombie film. Yeah, but they're not dead. I don't think they can like get better. They've got a virus.
Starting point is 00:33:10 It's basically a COVID film. Oh, you're safe. It's all right. Anyway, what I'm saying is, I'm saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how how how how how how howally linked, we're so connected with the things we like. But then obviously I taste so much because you love like John Wick and like. Born identity? Born identity. Born identity is your favorite, but who's the other one?
Starting point is 00:33:33 Mission Impossible? A bit of that? That genre. They've gone off. . Jack, Reacher. I like a bit of Reacher. Honey, do you think you get on because you're similar or you're different and that's why you get on? What do you think it is?
Starting point is 00:33:49 Because you've got such a relaxed sort of bond. It doesn't feel like you clash too much, but is that because you're the same or different? Oh, I think it's someone, I's, I, I, I, I very well. We just have a lot in common. I'm just very, I don't want to fight. I'm very conflict of last. So if someone says like, I've bloody hated that, I'll go like, okay, that's all right. Like that's fantastic. I liked it, but whatever floats your boat, you know. The thing is, I respect you and I respect your opinion. If I didn't respect your opinion. Thank you. If I didn't respect your opinion, I wouldn't do it with you. Oh, and he wouldn't, I know that. You definitely wouldn't. You wouldn't want to think it.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Life's too short and I'm not long left. Oh, don't say that? Honey, when you were growing up and now, is it the same? Or was it different with like, go to mom or do you go to dad or can you go to both and did that change from being younger to now? Depends on the problem. I was literally going to say the exact same thing. It really depends on the problem. It depends on the kind of advice I know I need. I'm the sane one, James, the emotional one. That's one way of putting it. That's one of the crazy. Sure. If I want like no nonsense, like, like, tha, th. I, th. I, th. I, to, to, th. I, to, the, the, the, the, to, the, the, the, the, they, they, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same the same the the the same the exact the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same that, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, the same the same the same the same the same th is th is th is, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's th is th is the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the that, the that, the same same the same the same that, the same that what you've got to do like tough love I'll go to dad. If I want like my sweetheart my gorgeous baby angel don't worry like blah blah blah blah
Starting point is 00:35:09 I go to my mom. If I want to be like gently coddled which I often do I will go to my mom but if I want someone to be like back in the 80s I did this and you know to do this because of to for that? Yeah, I turn into a bow boy. They all filing cabinet story comes out again. When he moved a cabinet in 1953. The amount of times I've heard about that filing cabinet. I've got many more stories about my gaze in the removal world if you're interested. He lost a fingernail lifting a filing cabinet. I did a bit of decorating once.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I had some jib what caving. And what about discipline? What was Jonathan like as a disciplinarian? Hmm. I was such a people-pleaser as a child. You didn't really need to discipline me that much. Is that like an incorrect take? I feel like- Was you a goody-two shoes at school then, honey?
Starting point is 00:35:58 Was you a bit like getting your homework done on time? Bingo. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys, guys. Guys. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. I was, th. I was thi. I was thi. I was, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi. I thi. I was, thi. I th. I was, I to. I to. I. I. I. I.

You also are very good, bright, attentive student. I am. And I really loved, I loved the learning of school. I think the thing that I did love at school was the social part. I had great friends at school, but I was like, oh, like mean I so I don't know how you were at school you weren't annoying at home the good thing is we didn't really have to discipline them
Starting point is 00:36:31 much so they were never out of control even as young kids or other kids sometimes there was tension for many years between you and your brother yeah yeah that was sometimes that was sometimes that was a to you that was tricky sometimes. But once again, it wasn't an overwhelming, it wasn't like it was ever present. I think that's a different one. I think with, you know what, with the discipline and stuff, I saw my sister, my older sibling, had like a bit of a kind of crazy teenage period, and I think I saw you guys reacting to that and kind of doing the parenting there, and I learned from those the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the thi thi thi thi their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that, you that, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you that, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, that that that that's that's thin, thi, thi, you know, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's mistakes without having to make them myself. But that's not, with that being said. You know, she didn't go so far after Wales, but we were just a couple of very prosaic, very predictable things that kids do,
Starting point is 00:37:09 you know, like going out and I mean, we drove home one day. This is insane. We drove home, thrown, tober. opposite this thing called the Heath Extension. And we saw these kids, and they were clearly drunk, and we put up, oh my God. You were picking me up from a birthday party as well. Like a children's birthday party. But she wasn't in there and they'd been on the Heath drinking,
Starting point is 00:37:31 what's that cheap vodka? Like Glenn's. Glens. And so we said, oh my God, and they were really wasted. One of them had almost passed out. So we took them all in the house, we got, we've got, their parents, we got to your parents, so we got your parents. to their parents. their parents were got got got got got got got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we got, we, we got, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, to. they were not in our house. We went off to do it. We found them in the street. We're doing you a service. Literally roaming the street.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And that was when one of them was outside and she went, oh, she went, you know my uncle. I went, oh yeah, what's his name? She went to to situation, but... But that was like the extent of it. So I saw that and was like, I don't necessarily want to do that, but then I obviously ended up like, as a teenager drinking too much, you'd have to pick me up from a party. You did flow up out of the window of the van on something.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Pure Lambrini, Pure Lombraini out of. someone who I won't name them but someone who came over who was someone who we knew via mum's work. And she was a bit of a handful and she encouraged you guys to steal a bottle of booze from the house. I still a big old bottle of booze from the heat. I'll take it over. Yeah, naughty girl. You're all about 14.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I was like, okay. And we don't, because I was drinking. So if there was a bottle of vodka there for like two years until Johnny Vegas came around. Then it was gone, you know. And so it was gone on the ass on. And then honey immediately came and it was like, no we took the vodka, we took the vodka, nobody saw I didn't look at the vodka, and they took the vodka. We always didn't care about the loss of vodka. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. the. to. And, you. And, you. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, honey, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, honey, and, and, and, honey. And, and, honey. And, and, and, and, honey. And, honey. And, honey. And, and, and, and, honey. And, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it. And, I. And, and. And, I. And, the. And, the. And, the. the. the. the. the. Honey, the. Honey, the. Honey, the. Honey, the. Honey, the. And, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, and. weren't troublesome and you weren't difficult at all. No, I was a nice girl. There wasn't really the need for this, but there was sometimes a need for some sort of like, I mean more that I think there was the desire to protect you and support.
Starting point is 00:39:31 It's more emotional coaching, I think. Which came from? My mother? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's been big question though that one. Best advice, I haven't really given you that much. I've given you advice about specifics. I think you definitely like I've come to you going like, career wise, should I do this kind of thing? Should I do that? And you're like, I always think, because I don't have a lot of good advice. I don't have a good advice. I to give. I to give. I to give. I to give. I to give. I to give. I to give. I to give. 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 thi. I. I. I. I was like, what? And to me that's not great advice because I love my friendships. I love having to go. I like the, I'm like, oh, who needs friends? Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Do you add another David Badeel, Jonathan? Are you reeling from another? Here's a thing. Friends are like seasons. They come and go, they may come again. Yeah, maybe you have a bad winner. But don't let that be all of it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, self-reliance is very important. And there are a handful of people in your life are gonna be always, you're always gonna be involving, you're always gonna,
Starting point is 00:40:41 and sometimes you're gonna be saying, why can I not pull away this person is because you have a love or a bond which is very deep, I'm talking about your mother, but there will be friends who come and go and it's like it is great but you can't, I think any young person that you can't allow yourself to be worried all the time about what they think or what you should do for them or what you should do with them, you know, you've got to enjoy them. It's got to be a very equal relationship and sometimes I think you'll give a bit too much of yourself to your friends and they don't give as much back. So that's kind of what I remember that. I think I've now got really good friends and it's completely 50-50-50 give a fucking ass. You have had some models as well. Betty had some real motors. Harvey very much like you keeps himself to himself. He's a good boy. Harvey has a handful of those friends and they sort
Starting point is 00:41:28 still hang out together. They're so sweet friends. How do you deal with that though if you look like, so at the time honey, you just think these friends are great and you're 15, 16 and you've got your friends. Jonathan you're going, I've marked her card. She's not very nice friend, but you can't do or say anything. You sort of have to let honey find out for herself. Now what you do is you quietly exclude those ones from things. So you say, you're an inverse friend's friend, you know, you have like four round. I would suggest why don't you invite so and so on so and so on, so and they say so and maybe not to know.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Yeah, we're really honest with it. It's like, and we'll explain why. It's not just, we don't take a random dislike to someone. Yeah, they're hair cut. And when you point out to someone normally, they have an inkling anyway. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very aware of when a friendship is souring. And I'm also not afraid to end a friendship. Like I'm pretty, I'm actually a bit too good at ending a friendship. I'll just, I'll just, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll go, I'll go, I'll ghost, I'll ghost, I'll go, I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they'll they, they, they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll thi. they'll they'll thi. they have have they have they're thi. they're they have have they have they're they have they're they has to be done. No, I think you shouldn't feel too guilty about not a friendship waning, and you shouldn't take it to heart if it wanes from the other side either. It's, you come in alone, you go out alone, that's why I look at it, you know. My opinion, don't start a friendship. I do think friendships. I do. I love them. You've got too many friends Josh I think. Josh I think we're on the same page. Exactly we
Starting point is 00:42:52 should be friends. Got an opening for new friends. Come on. Brooker. Everybody is bickering with the deal like it doesn't have to be like that. My understanding of Jonathan Ross when you would have been growing up. the. from what was going on on your chat show Jonathan and you were saying Johnny Vegas would come around you had a lot of famous friends but not friends no people who I like in a well disposed to but here's the deal and that's a fair I think that's a very honest assessment I have a lot you two I I like both of you yeah you not really friends because we're not like how often do we actually hang out? Yeah, yeah. We don't. I've seen Rob much more than Josh for obvious reasons. And I offer you my friendship and I feel you are well disposed towards me. But when I'm saying about friends
Starting point is 00:43:33 I'm talking about people who you phone up like every day almost yeah you hang out with at least once a week I hadn't seen David for a couple weeks David but this probably my closest male friend yeah but I found him the other day so we could have 10 minutes and we ran out no specific plan at the end to get together, it was like loosely we will obviously see each other again. So unlike, I'd probably do the same again next week, or he'd do the same to me. And so there's a handful of kernel of people
Starting point is 00:44:12 who you surround yourself with who are your real friends and other people. But I am, I'm generally very open to liking people. What about WhatsApp? Is there a family WhatsApp? Are you, because that's what a lot of friendship is now is, you know, WhatsApp groups, that's how you stay in touch with a lot of people. You don't see them that much, but you'll WhatsApp them when you see a funny thing or, you know, whatever. Once again, that's an odd sort of modern social relationship, and that is sort of replacing friendship, but in my friendship. Sharing a picture of a dog biting a postman is great but it's not a genuine... Post-person actually, Jonathan. Post-person, sorry. Post-person means after a person you become this thing.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Yeah, that's another debate. You know, I'll send you memes and stuff all the time over in the WhatsApp group. I probably do, I probably communicate my, because I find that sort of casual actually very easy, very comfortable. I was going to the WhatsApp group. I probably do it. I probably communicate my because I find that sort of casual actually very easy very comfortable. I was going to say because you've shown me, I remember once my dad showing his phone and went like, look at this video and he'd sent like a weird video of him like doing like a little dance just to like five really random people. It's like Sir Alan Sugar like you just like you just like Send out something, get it back. Keeping in tou toub. And that's his love of friendship. So, Shug, as I call him, he likes to receive the occasional, me and Alan we have a relationship. Me and Alan we have a relationship where we basically only touch like twice a year and I really like Alan's sugar.
Starting point is 00:45:34 He'll be out some ways he flies his own little plane. He flew out to see me and got picking up from his little plane and Jane said don't bring him home. Our home was always an estate disarray. She just was a house she just didn't want to hang out there which I understand I said we went to a local restaurant I drove to the plane I watched him fly off I was like to the their the When he's out shopping somewhere, if he sees really, really horrible clothing, he'll send me a picture and saying, what's your size? That's good stuff. How many do you want? They'll send me like pink crocodile shoes, which by the way, I have a pair of pink
Starting point is 00:46:20 pink of the shoes. Of course you do. But he sent me a photo of pink crocodile shoes, athe big bucket, he went, got your name all over it. Yeah, because you had the big massive parties Halloween. Yeah. You get loads of people around and stuff like that, but they're just friends from the industry. Well, they are friends. I think there's tears to quality of friends and that there's a friend you speak to every single day when like everything's going wrong.................. And their.. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, their, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, their, their, their. their. their. to, to, to..... to, to, to, to, to, to...... to, to, to. to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I. Of. Of, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their the friend you speak to every single day when like everything's going wrong. And then there's the friends where you're like, oh, let's get dinner sometimes and all come to my big Halloween party.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Yeah, well the Halloween party started as a party for you kids. It used to be incredibly tiny. It was just me and my friends. the party a bit more grown up, then we started inviting adults. But we were doing a party just for the kids at home. And you would always rent a costume, like one year dad dressed up as a mummy, like wrapped himself in the toilet paper. No, that year I rented seven costumes, I hid at spots around the garden. Oh my god. And did a tresse around to you, the other. Your grandmother was, to be, tho, tho, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to.. to. to. to. to. to're like okay I spoke to afterwards I said grandma's got to stick to the script.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Really? They're seven. That's a long way off. They don't need to this literally they were seven. She was talking about menstruation to the girls and it's like you are scaring them in the wrong way. Yeah I had a really bad cold down, I remember because I could smell my own breath in the mummy costume. You know when you got a really bad cold and you confine you got, oh Jesus that's what's coming out of me. So I dressed as a vampire one way, that's what I'm going out of the tour. So I was a wolfman. So I dressed as a vampire. And the wolfman, while they were distracted, the Jewish. I went, I, I, I, I, I, slipped, slipped, I, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped, slipped out, slipped out, slipped out,there, I went around the corner, I did all these different shows. The Wolfman. I love that. It's like a Jewish Warthman. Mr. Wolfman.
Starting point is 00:48:07 One of the things I remember listening to your Radio 2 show, or it might be you on Virgin as well, like when I was growing up. I started on Virgin and then I went out of Radio 2 so I was yeah, I was virgin for about two or three years, I th and I th and did the Saturday on Weddia Tour. Because one of the things I remember listening to that show, I don't know what it was, it was a Mother's Day one, and you were speaking to your mom, and you discussed when she found your pornographic magazines when you were growing up. I mean, you say magazines, I think I possibly had one magazine. One magazine, sorry.
Starting point is 00:48:39 Or was it probably shared between you and your five brothers. No the sketches. It was the sketches. It was the sketches. It was there? It was a play tablet. It was a pamphlet. Just from a certain angle, you can imagine, you could see. Obviously you've got a very open relationship with your mom in there. Is that a kind of feeling of the same in your household? Well, honey's generation are very sex positive in the way that we weren't. So they talked they they they they they the they they to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to their their to their to their to their their to their to told. to their their to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to be a to be a certain. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's to be to be to be just, to be to be to be to be to be to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their te. te. te. te. te. te. their te. te. their te. te. te. tto have to endure and I feel bad because when sometimes I used to do a lot more interaction with the audience during the show and I was on the BBC and before the show as well. And it was much more of a kind of broader comedy talk show than when we do now. People answer questions on that one, as opposed to sit in there, staring. And I remember I would remember I, I, I, I would the the the to to to to to the to to sit a to sit a to sit a the to sit a the to sit a to sit a the to sit a to sit a the to sit, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was the the their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was their, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was their, I was to, I was their, I was to, I was their, I was their, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was a lot, I was the th. th. I was tape. I was tapo, I was together, I was together, I was together, I was today, I was th., I was the the their, I was their, I was the And I remember I would sometimes joke, and I had a couple of kind of true, but I thought funny anecdotes about my sex love with your mom. But you're quite open with stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:49:31 We're so open. Yeah, I don't talk to honey about sex in the way, like I don't say, hey, getting any, you know, if you don't have a chat like that. If you did, I'd block your number. I hope she's doing whatever she wants with her life. But in every area, that's all I hope. And I hope she would the same way for me. You know, it's like, hope she's happy and fulfilled in any area she wants to be. Because some same area, Jonathan.
Starting point is 00:49:53 We're really open, and especially like, I think we were never the kind of family. I think we were never the kind of family that, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the, the, the, the. And, I. And, I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. a joke, I would come to your eyes. But we're pretty open about that kind of thing, especially on the podcast, like we've had a lot of weird conversations about Napoleon and his micro-peness and like we're pretty comfortable having conversations about bodies and sexuality. And when you've got health issues or mom's got health issues which are more of a womanly nature, you talk about very open in front of me and I, the, their, to, the we have areas either based on our relationship as father-daughter or as family or the different sexes. Nothing really feels like... You raised me quite like Scandinavian like quite naked household. Like quite like de-sexualized bodies like yeah. Yeah we used to wander around like if we're in the bath getting out of the bathroom. We were like oh when the kids came in. There was no shame around. But we, like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like. the the the the the 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, or, their, their, the kids came in. There was never shame around that. But we weren't, certainly weren't forcing our nudity into their bedrooms. We were never closed off and not talking about subjects with you.
Starting point is 00:50:48 And I think hopefully you aren't with us either if you feel the need to. No, I like that you kind of demystified things. Like, it's a healthy way to do it, I think. I think some people are so like so like so tho. tho. tho. tho. th. tho. tho. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to tho. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to toldldld. We their. We their their their their. their toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. tooes. Wea. Wea. tolde. We were-ups. Like I think I think it's healthy. Good for you. Flex. That's showing off now. So your podcast's real talk. You can get it everywhere basically and it's you chatting about films and what's coming up. A lot of podcasts goes live, any plans to do a live show together? We would love to? Once we get an audience. Oh. I don't know. Would you would love to do it the way though you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you to you.

Would you like it though you'd be more anxious than me? I'd be fine. Would you? I'm a big girl I'll take my med. You could do it the way though you could introduce a film and you watch a film and then talk about it in the middle and after and stuff like that. I think that would be lovely. I mean I think certainly if people wanted to and you fancy doing it I would do that. I would absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely absolutely I th. I would absolutely. I would absolutely. I would absolutely. I would. I would. I to. I to. I to do it. I to do it. I would to do it. I would just. th. th. th. th. And you. to. And you. And you. to.

I thi.'re geeky like we like the geeky crowd who just want to get really nerdy about kind of specific directors like that's really fun for us but also we like talking about we've started doing a
Starting point is 00:51:51 little bit more the beginning we show about our lives and our week and I've found that very useful as a way of dealing with issues with your mother that I can actually talk to our world. The thing is, yeah. Is this therapy for you guys? 100% I can hide behind you. It's like I use you as an excuse a lot like so I get home and if I just can't be bothered Jane wants to go through some admin again it's like just pay whatever it is. Get about it. She does do more admin than any human. I don't know. I think we've been overcharged by seven pounds. I don't fucking the thing. I. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. She. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. 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. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I'm. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. I'm. I'm. I I'll say, I've got to watch this thing because I'm doing this thing with Honey on the podcast this way. And because I'm doing it with you, it's like, oh, of course. Oh, that's it.
Starting point is 00:52:30 If I was saying I've got to watch this thing for work, it'd be, well, I need to do this. Because you love me more than I am delightful. No, it's such a good excuse. It's an amazing if I need to get out of anything. I'm so sorry guys I've got so much to watch for the podcast. It's a dream come true. The other week when I've sort of about her going on and on about some bloody pots and pans she wanted to buy. I said just buy. And I have to go they look great. They look great. They look great. They look. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look great. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look. They look great. They look great. They look. They look. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the the the the the their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I've the. I've the. I've the. the. the. the the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the other ones? Yeah, no, I think I prefer the other ones. Well, these ones are lighter. Oh, good, good, they give the lighter ones. Yeah, but these ones, oh, they're very expensive. Okay, okay, these ones on side, get the ones on size, not they're not thinking. I never want to, I never want to. I podcast. And then I'm sitting in the car when Jane listens to it because she likes listening to her podcast and she'll laugh along. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:27 It's a good way with that one. Just gently let the gas out. No more pot talk. Do you now struggle with the films because me and Rob would go, oh, don't tell me that. I'll save that for the podcast. Is Is a, the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, th., th., th. th. I, th. I, thi, thi, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I've, I've, I've, I've, oh, the the the the the the the the the way, I, I got, oh, oh, oh, oh, I go, I go, I go, I go, I go, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I got, I go, I go, I go, I go, I the way. It, I the the the the the the the the the the tho, I've. It, I've to go, to go, to to to to to the to to to the to to the the to the to go, who's the the the good, the good, the good, the the good. It, I go, today off a whole bit of your relationship and conversation? Luckily because it's mainly kind of like sectioned off for films, we can just go, we'll start talking about a film and go, now you know what, save it, keep it fresh. Whereas like we still send each other
Starting point is 00:53:52 like a million videos of like animals doing something cute or people falling over. I like people falling over. I like people falling over. Well sometimes we will, we normally often we see the films together, we, we, we, talk. We normally, often we see the films together anyway, so we will have a brief chat about them afterwards. But we normally have an idea what the other person thinks about it loosely, don't we? But sometimes if Honey wants to tell me about something I really haven't seen anything of or it's like the jailer film you're talking about, it's an extraordinarily bad. I was saying, okay, say because I'd like to hear it for the first. And you. And you. And you. And you. And you, you, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other, the other thi, thi, thi, thi, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so th so thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, the other other other other thinks, th all. And if anything it's because we know we're going to see each other once we can do this and we speak a lot about this during the week. Which we were
Starting point is 00:54:30 doing anyway, we were doing anyway. We were doing anyway. But I actually think if anything it's been a real luxury to get to do this with you because I get to spend so much more time with you because you if you had you you you you you you you had it you had it you had it you had it you had it you had it respond to a text. You always do, it was not saying you don't, but like it's very nice that like I really get to see you. I share an office with my mom so I always had that bias like I got to see my mom every single day. And it's so hard writing. I mean try it. Try it and then we'll talk. I actually got into the the podcast by seeing it pop up on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like on like the the the th on like th o' up on like th. th. th. th.

I actually got into the podcast by seeing it pop up on like TikTok and Instagram as clips. It's really nice to see because it's like, it feels like we've just got into your living room
Starting point is 00:55:10 and the conversation you would be having about a film. So it's if you get a real different take on it rather than, you know. We try not to be too dry and too to too too too too too too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. to be. to be. to kind. 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 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 to. to. to. to. to. to. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to. to a lot about film, but we're not trying to show off. It's not a kind of film flex. No. Well, because I think we both are confident in our understanding a film, like we have different text, like I've been in the film industry for nearly 10 years. Like you've been reviewing and watching forever.
Starting point is 00:55:36 There's two years. You know, I mean, I changed my, not changed my view, but I sort of like shaped my viewer, because there are different sorts of film criticism and film appraisal anyway. There are kind of areas where you want an academic deep dive into the subplots and the meaning, the subtext, the ontology of film itself maybe. And that's kind of like has a very narrow appeal to people and people who like that know where to find it. And we're not not other the the that kind the that kind that kind that the that that that's that's that's that's that's kind that's kind that's that's that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that's kind that that that that that's kind that's kind that that that that's that's that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 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's that's that's that's that's that's th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. they. the the the the the th. th. the the th. the th. th. the the. the. thi. the. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th nowhere to find it and we're never going to serve that up. Yeah, we're not sight and sound. Yeah, another thing is when it's very, very appraising the film on the supposed merits as seen by that review. We are much more a kind of need joke. Look, the bottom line is if I go and see a comedy whether people who engage with it and you sense in a kind of serious
Starting point is 00:56:26 movie whether they're responding to it it's harder in a sad film I'm glad you've given me a reason not to watch Oppenheimer I've been looking for about ages I would say watch it you know you might say watch it's people must have seen it more than once because he's made millions. Josh, we did a final question. Yeah, you kind of answered it already though. Because we normally say, what would you say about your partner that if they were listening to this, it's a way to get a message about something that annoys you about them, but you do that on your own podcast, Jonathan. Well, but I'm just gonna dive into what you said there. It's not what annoys me about her.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Okay. Because it doesn't really annoy me. Oh, that's how it sounded. Now, there are things to annoy me about her. I don't give a fuck to pay it. I don't hear the word fucking pot again. I would would suggest suggest th suggest th suggest th suggest th suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would would would suggest, I would suggest, I would would would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would would suggest, I would suggest, I would would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would suggest, I would would suggest, I would would would would would would would to to to tho, I would tho, I would tho, I would that. I would that, I would that. I would that, I would that. I would that, I would that, I would that, I would th. I would th. I would th. I would that's that's that's th. I would that's that's that's that's that's that's that, I'd that's that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that, I'd that's not that's that, no, that's what I wish. That's love. I was just that minor irritation. That's a man with no friends who's got so much love to give. That's what would I say? I mean, because I do, the thing is, the reason why our relationship
Starting point is 00:57:33 has survived is because now, more than ever before, we do talk about things, Jane and I. So if there is an issue, we would rather put it on the the the thage, thage, thage, thage, th and th and thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that's thi, 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, that's that, that's that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that, that, that's that's that's that, that's that's that's that's that's thi, thranny, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, tho, thro, throes that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's there on the table and say look, there aren't really many because we live in a state of relative equilibrium. Yeah. She knows what I am and what I'm doing. I know where she is and what she's doing. We know we're going to be at the end of the day and we're going to be where we want to be where we want to be where the rest of he does as a dad you go, oh, I'm so lucky he's my dad and he does that. Oh, that's nice. Or vice versa. And then what's the thing that you go, I'd rather didn't do that dad, actually.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That doesn't annoy me a little bit. Racism. I think you sometimes makes me a little bit now then. I think you're a little bit nervous, but I wouldn't change you. I love you for who you are. And I'm very lucky to be your daughter. Thank you baby. Also it's like only ever my fear of just what other people.
Starting point is 00:58:35 I know you don't care what other people think, but I think there's always the fear of like, oh I just hope people don't get you wrong because you are such a pure, sold man. He's very so sweet, he really is like a golden-hearted man. Oh, don't tell him. He's very caring and he likes to pretend he's tough. And I do think that doesn't come across. I am tough. I am tough. No, he's not. He's this big soft thing. And as as he's like, you know, without going back to to your age again, Jonathan, but as younger, but, by, by, thi, by, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. And, and he th. And, and he, and he, and he's, and he's, and he's, and he's, thi. And, thr. And, thr-a. And, thr-a. throoooooooooooooooooooooe. And, and he's theeananananan, and he's like the. And, and he's through. You've always been very supportive and helpful and always try to make us look the best we can, the funniest we can, and big as something the most on your show, and that doesn't happen a lot, and you do do it.
Starting point is 00:59:12 It's harder with Josh than with you. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Some people just naturally likeable. What thing is, I'm not going to recover from this, Rob is over. Oh Josh, I love you and I think you're a very funny man, a very talent. The truth is that's partly I think the way I am, but partly also, I remember when I first started this and there were quite a few older people who are really quite horrible towards me and this shift in the dynamic. And I kind of th of of of of of of of of of of thi of thi of thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm thi. thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. That's, thi. I'm, thi. That's, thi. 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. Oh, I. Oh, I. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, th. Oh, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. Oh, I'm, I'm, I kind of understand where that came from, because I came to some degree of prominence
Starting point is 00:59:45 about the same time the alternative comedy was first making to want a TV, with Ben Alton and sat in their life. And they had perhaps been unfairly simplified by the press to them saying, we hate Benny Hill, we hate Les Dawson, we hate mother-in-lawed jokes. And of of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, of, and of, of, and of, of, of, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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 theat, the the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, but of course that's how it was in that way that the press simplifies things and polarizes situations. And so it became that and I think they were wary of newcomers and I remember at the time thinking,
Starting point is 01:00:11 okay, just that sense of not being welcomed, they're not being given a chance, basically, when I was given a certain platform, perhaps before I was ready for it, and I was nervous anyway. You know what I mean? You're nervous. You're starting out, you're doing your first show, you appear with someone you've grown up watching. And when you turn out when they're an asshole to you, it's just horrible because it makes it impossible to do the show that night and it makes it really difficult. And so I remember thinking consciously I'm never going about seeing that. I love seeing people who are still around of course, but when someone new comes on the scene who's
Starting point is 01:00:47 good, I'm thrilled for them, but I'm also thrilled for us because we've got someone new to enjoy it, you know, and it's as simple as that. Why would I would I pretend otherwise? And I don't feel th used up and it's not the end of the world. It's like, you know, that is the nature of being well known and being a performer, you know, the celebrity physics. But also that's why it's so nice that when there are newcomers you've already laid the groundwork and been like, no, I've helped you, you don't hate me, you won't turn your back on me. question of like what's a good piece of advice. That's behavior you've modeled for me that I have always loved and now like I take a lot of young writers
Starting point is 01:01:28 under my wing lots like little babies. I have on to the coattails but younger people. Clout chased the young people are going to be more right under their wing. Guilt them into thinking they owe you something. Keep me relevant. That's the best advice. That's 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 th.

That's the best advice. Sowing the seeds for the old, get the old bag at the end of the day. Come on. How's my bad reaction, Beckett? Come on. When you're taking me to Abu Dhabi?
Starting point is 01:01:54 Come on. That watch by and weekend that your wife knows all about. Oh, that's amazing. Thank you so much. Good luck with the pod and the live shows potentially. Real Talk is out on, you've got global player written in big words behind you. They love for multi-global player because if you go on Global Player, they think you'll listen to everything else it's on Global Play, which of course you aren't, but they like to think you will.

Starting point is 01:02:25 Spotify, go for it. Real Talk R-E-L-D-L. R-D-L. Thank you for having us guys. Oh no, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you. What a joy. It was a joy.
Starting point is 01:02:41 I love that Josh. You know what, normally we do, I've got no idea how much Michael used, but I can't imagine much of that got lost because it was all so good, but like normally we do about 50 minutes with people. Yeah, and we just carried on talking because I was just enjoying it so much. Yeah, and do you know what, as well, like, you've got a slightly more honest side of Jonathan because he's with his daughter, and also honey is such a talkh...... toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to to to to be to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I th.

I, Honey is such a good talker and so interesting and so funny. And I cannot express to you how difficult it is to be interesting sat next to Jonathan Ross. Yes.
