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.

No, I just, when you said South African, I was like, he's South African and then he did, it was Dutch. Dutch does sound like Afrika. Dutch and South African. I think there's something going on with the Dutch in South Africa, which means they're accent similar, I think. Yeah, fuck it out. But I don't really want to wade into that. I'm googling it. I'm a call to South African. Did you know that, Rob? Do you know what got a vibe? There we go. Yeah, actually you were spot on. Africaners are a southern African ethnic group deste, their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I thuu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I'm th. I'm th.

What happened in 94? Then Oasis released an album and it all changed. Yeah. It was a great decade. This is our son Indy, 2.5 years old. His mother is English. I'm Dutch, so we are raising him to be bilingual. I'd love to have done that. Because kids, when they're really young, they can just do... Well, yours are half Devon and half civilized, aren't they? So you've got a bit of a... You know, they've still got that sort of Devonian, th. And th. And th. You th. You're th. You're th.

Rick Gavardy, Gavardi, Letchworth Garden City. Ledgeworth Garden City. What is a Garden City? I don't know because that well in Garden City as well. Yeah that's the other one. My second Google of the day. What is a Garden City movement? The Garden City movement was a 20th urban planning movement promoting satellite communities around Central City. So it's sort of... It's like a kind of nice green city outside of the main cities. Well there we go.

It's sort of near a city. A new urban development. Yeah. We're all learning. How are you Rob? Well I thought we had a little bit of, because we had Easter we recorded a couple of episodes in advance so that we could have some family time I've just forgot how I do it it's sort of like the first time you have six again after having a kid yeah but we're pumping away we're pumping away hoping for the best you're right and you join it's okay Josh did they're going too hard at the start about devonians it's exactly how I like it. Yeah, okay. It's quite relief is fine. Yeah, yeah.

So I've got my Easter updates. You've got your Easter updates. Should I do mine today and you do yours the next one? Have a sip of your tea, though. I saw you pick it up. Charge yourself up. Wow, I tell you what,, it's, it wasn't enough. You literally just went,

that's a cartoon dog. You eat a hot dog? Oh, there we go. Do you know what, Rob. Do you know what, Rob? Do you know what, Rob? Do you know what, Rob? Do you know what, Rob?? On this chair's covered in honey, I've just realized... What, sorry? I'm doing this from home because there was loads of roadworks and an accident near where my office is so I just thought I'll just be bothered because stitting. I'll grab the chair from it and I can literally feel it. And I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I the the th. I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally I can literally wipe on the side so I just got to be distracted. Sorry, sorry.

So, Easter's long isn't it? Oh, fucking El Rob. Easter's long isn't it? Fucking how? Two weeks? Who knew? We had an insect day yesterday. We don't need that after two weeks, do you?

I just think. I wish they'd hold them at the start because you're less gutted. I'm not saying no insect days. Yeah well I am saying no insect days ideally but if we're gonna have inset days. What is it? Two questions one what's an inset day? the today. theymeat. Yeah it's a today. to sometimes a staff training day. Now how can I say this carefully? Yeah it's difficult both both th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they's th. they's they's they's they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're they're they. they. they. th. t. tod. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. they're they. they're they're they're training day, now how can I say this carefully. Yeah it's difficult, both of us are treading on eggshells because we know I'm gonna say it, we know we're going to pick up later on. I'm gonna say it, I don't know, teachers work hard but surely they get enough fucking days off. Surely enough to maybe in the middle of Easter their today to do, to do, do, do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to do, to, to, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' tho, tho, tho, thi, because, thi, thi, thi, thi, because, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin' thin, thin' thin'n, thin, thin, thin can be a tea true count and you've passed your test. What's happening in that insep they? I'll tell you what's happening. Fuck all. It is slightly galling. Cake, coffee, and a fucking PowerPoint with stuff on it they already know.

So we had an inset day Rob. If you are a teacher though, let us know what you do on insect days and I'll apologize. Can you take us through your inset days? Yeah. Blow by blow, hour by hour. I imagine you were in at eight left at six. Do you know what? I'd take them midterm more than I'd take them. I just think it's galling. If it was midterm and they went, fine. Yeah. All right, I'll have this Monday. But after the holiday, to just push

it one more is heartbreaking. Yeah, because I think as well in the middle of a term and it's really busy and the kids almost could do the lane and a nothing day. Just go right, have your iPad, land bed all day. Yeah. Yeah, you've got a three day weekend in. the middle. Yeah. Inset away to your heart's content. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. the the the the the the tho, thi. thi's thi's the the tho just just just just just just just just just just just just the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

Inset away to your heart's content. Just inset and morning, noon and night. You can inset as much as you fucking want on that day. Google three, what's an insert? I've never heard insect use for anything else. Have you? No. Well, it's a thing that he's put in or inserted.

Yeah, right. Yeah, I regret it. I regret it. We're googling. Ask Susie Demp. Don't ask Rachel Riley. She'll have some strong views on it. Insel day, no insect. Inset. It's all calm down. So inset day yesterday, Rob. Yeah. We've both had our Easter. Rose's got loads to do. She's working doing house stuff. I thought the house was done. We're finishing it off Rob. Right, okay.

and you want people to see them. I know, but it's such them you're doing it. Yes. That's what they want. Yes. And you find yourself telling the same anecdotes and that's bad when you're on your own. But when you're promoing with someone else and they're watching you, tell the same anecdote, the same joke, the same joke. I'm now. I I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that's. I that's. I that's. I that's.

And now I'm doing hold the front page promo and I am, fucked. Hold the front page on Sky next week. It's about local news, right, where we go and work for local newspaper.

So he did a junket of local radio. Oh, right, of course. I was going fucking mental by the end. Is that where you sit in a booth booth in BBC and it's just constant? Nine in a row. And then we did another podcast and I thought, Rob, genuinely, yeah. Because I'd had two weeks of Easter, this day I was like- You took some time off to spend with the kids as well, don't you?

Yeah, I've took the full time off to spend with the kids kids kids kids kids kids kids when I did last leg and blankity blank. Something's got to keep the wheels of industry turning with. Exactly. Someone's got to keep his economy going while soon acts in Sambas. Oh, fuck me. I've got five pairs of the fuckers. I bet he's got hush puppies like you as well. I don't wear hush puppies. I'm a little sip for a massive little sip, massive cup. Honestly I was sat in this next podcast that we were doing but in basically the exact same room in a different building. Yeah. And I thought I'm gonna have a panic attack here. And there was so much adrenaline in my body because I'd come straight off this holiday where it was so intense and then I'd done all these interviews, and also I was dealing with the fact that I'd basically, Rose's whole

day had collapsed because she was now doing child care. So she can do the things she needed to do, because she was with a kid. Yeah, she can do the things she needed to do. And fair enough, I was getting the the text. And rightly, right. to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I, I was, I was, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, thr, thi, tho, th. the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, the fact, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. thr. thr. thr. thr. thro, thro. thro. thea. tha. thro. tha. thea. thro. tha. tha. tha. tha, she was obviously annoyed about it and then texted you about it. Really what you need to do is just turn your phone off. No, no, because you've got to be, what, what, they? No, but you've got to focus on your job in hand. Are you having to. You haven't when you're talking to BBC radio, East Midlands, Rob. You can leave that. No. No. No, not they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they don't. they they don't. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. They they they they they they they th. th. they they th. th. 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. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. wait yeah yeah I was really stressed Rob I've got the extreme adrenaline going here and then it translated into I need a shit here I'm saying on so you had quite a stressful day off the back of a busy couple of weeks which we'll get into it was so stressful that you needed to shit no I thought I'm gonna

have a panic attack here and then you know when panic attacks manifest into no no no no these were two separate things. So I was like doing my breathing and stuff, mid-podcast. But you don't want to relax too much in case it, the turtle that comes up. There was no chance of that. No, okay. And then, because your body's causing, and then, you're, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, to, to, to, to, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to podcast at this stage. I know, okay. So what podcast was this? It's not fair to say Rob. No one wants to listen to something and think I need a shit during this and I was going to have a panic attack. And then on top of this I was felt like I was going to be late

for my next gig. What's your next cue? I was doing a new material gig at the evening. Oh God, a 6 p.m. Right? And I hadn't written any of the stuff down. Right. It was all ideas I'd had on holiday. And also Romesh had dropped out, so I'd gone from 10 minutes to 30 minutes on the bill. I was with him yesterday day. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I was filming with him.

Did he ever mention that he was wanted that he was wanting that he was wanting that he was wanting that he was wanting to do a gig? No, I said he's doing a gig tonight. No, you talk about being stressed with too much to promo, that man. Yeah. He's on Radio 2 this weekend, right? He's doing a gig on the Friday night, and he's doing radio to Saturday morning. I'm going in as a guest. Then he's going thin. Anyway, I didn't even have time to go to the toilet before I got to the gig. Because I was like, so I'm in a car, I've got 27 minutes in the car, not driving,

trying to write my set down, thinking, I've got to go straight on stage here. Basically, I was just like so stressed. So stressed. I find it's really stressful when they're going back to school because the timetables change, the clubs change. Oh, mate. Some are uniform. My daughter, obviously, it's the day before school, so she's not wanting to go back to school.

Yeah. She loves school, but every start of the hot term is right off, obviously. Get to the gig, I'm like, I can't do this. Go on, do my half hour, of which 10 is the bit I want to do. Do you know what I mean? To try out? The rest is Romash time. Right, for sure. Get home.

Do the bed times? We've got into an insane lateness because of holidays. So what time they got a bit? My daughter went down like 20 past 9. Yeah, yeah. I think most kids are on that at the moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then have dinner. Have you had a shit yet? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, at the gig.

the gig, just before going on at the gig. Go to take the cat to get her kidneys flushed. Put the cat straight in a box. Driver to Onstead, drive back. Five minutes before this podcast, make a comfortee, and here I am. Here you are. How are the kidneys are all flushed?

Well, they will be by the end of the day. I'll actually get it later on. wasn't even a holiday that was just my day fucking hell let me tea through the holiday yeah why you said because normally people go on holiday to relax and come back with a new vigor and yeah freshness and it feels like that's not happened well I went on holiday with my kids yes so you have a brilliant time yeah but you come back shell shocks basically yeah you don't really get a rest so when you're there you're like this is great you don't think I'm really stressed at all you're having a really good time but there's no moment of you time to you time. No it is constant questions what we do and then I find when they're on the holiday the

holidays they end up getting up the same time as you and go in the te. the same time. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their 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 time. time. time. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. times. the same their the same their? Yeah, exactly. 24-7, it's 24-7. You stayed in the UK for Easter and you didn't have the best weather. So Rose has done the house up in Cornwall. She's doing up, if you want to follow it at Penrose House on Instagram. She's done an incredible job. She was doing stuff while we were there as well. Right. So there was gardeners, and there was a builder putting stuff up.

So and there was a builder putting stuff up. It wasn't full relaxing, you were still doing house. Well, no, no. I'll be honest with you. I felt at times like we were slightly getting in the way of Rosen the builder. Not in that sense.

So, so I was making tea for the gardeners. Right, yeah. I was making tea for the builder. You're mainly looking after the kids then because Rose is... No, Rose was doing a lot of that as well, but also she was having to pay invoices or she was having to do this kind of stuff.

Pop down screw fix. Just send me to screwfix Rob. What for? Or she won a bit of time with a builder? Various things they didn't have. So my experience of Screwfix Rob was, we've given them a lot of promo on this podcast. I'd say it was a living hell of my own creating. I thought Scroofs you walked around.

No, it's like Argos for It's Argos for geysers. Yeah, I didn't realize. It's quite intense. So I thought, oh, I could just walk around and find this stuff. But Rose had given me a list of things that I then said to the woman behind the desk, and she asked me further questions, which I had no information for. Yes. So then, I spent tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thus tho tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the the the the thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus I thus I thus I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho I tho tho tho tho tho tho thooooooooooooooooooo. I thoooooooooo. I thoooo. I tho. I tho. I tho. I had no information for. Yes. So then I spend my time in scrufix on the phone to Rose relaying this information to the one behind the desk who then told me they didn't have it. And did Rose know what it was or did she

have to speak to the builder as well? No, Rose knew. So Rose had the information but you needed this. I don't know anything about any of these things. Okay, light bulbs. I don't know anything about light bulbs. I don't think you were the best person to go. I can't remember why I did. Light bulbs. Surely you know light bulbs. Rob. Specifics. We're getting into wattage. We're getting into do you want yellow or white. We're getting into do you want dim abo light. You're getting into, do you want LED? We're getting into all these things that I don't know about. I still don't know what what's are. No. 60 or 40?

Well, surely you want brighter. Who wants half measures here? Well, you're very bright. Well, you're very relaxed. Well, you don'm not relaxed anyway. No, you don't feel relaxed. Did the journey down with Rose's mom to Cornwall? So where was Rose?

Rose was ready in Cornwall, sorting the house out. With the builder. So me and Rose's mom. So you drove down with Rose's mom and the kids? Right. How long did that take? Including stop seven and a half hours. That is a long time in a car with your mother-in-law, whether you get on well of them or not. Yeah. What's the situation for seven-half hours? Are you chatting constantly? Are the kids asleep? So it was the morning after the last leg. So I was a bit worried about going, should we just start at 7 a.m. because I don't get back till gone 12. Yeah, you're getting late from the last leg yet. So I was like, I don't want too much pressure on getting to

sleep. No, also it's stressful getting the kids in the car, toilet stops and all that kind of stuff. I was like, so let's wake up and call it. It's six hours, so the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tip. tip. tip. tha. tip. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha.

No it's six hours but we had an extended stop which I did not was not happy about. Okay. I woke up about seven I was like let's just fucking do this. Yeah. Took three and a half hours to get everything together. Yeah. So we're in the car set off at 1030.30 a.30 a.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

Arguably, the worst possible time to drive to Kormel. Well, the good news is, Rob, a lot of the schools, 50-50, wasn't it? Some of the schools. Yeah, he's weird with schools. Some like finished well early, some were well late. Yeah, like it was all over the shop. to the thinks. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. thoes. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their the worst. the worst. the worst. to to to to to drive. to to to to to to drive. to drive. to to drive. to to drive. to drive. to drive. to drive. to drive. to drive. to drive. to drive. to to to to to to to to to to to to to try. try. try. try. try. try try try try to try to try to to to to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to do whatever the fuck they want. Is that right? I've got Macy Newcastle and it'll be like today go oh can't wait for these to break. What's going on? It always seemed to be like two weeks before or two weeks after. But I quite like the fact it's not standardized because it at least gives you a chance to you know. Yeah to try and get a slightly cheaper flight. to to to to to to to to to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Yeah.

Yeah. So we've already got a dispute between me and my mother-in-law. Oh. She disagrees with the route of the Satnav. Oh my God, this is awful. She disagrees with the route of the Satnav? Yeah. Well, either through Londonnav sang M4. Okay. A tale as old as time. People over 50 need to just admit

the satnav is right. Whenever my parents visit, they'll ask me what route they should take home and I just go, type it in to the satnav. Yeah. I don't know whether there is traffic through the middle of town, but you have a phone that does know that. So today I put in my postcode of the office and it came up with loads of red and I saw that the M25 was all shut and the phone, but if I hadn't have done that, I'd have been stuck in traffic down this wouldn't be happening. I don't need any knowledge.

I think AI should come in quicker. One of Rosemont's points was if you just follow the Satnav you don't know where you are doesn't matter. I don't need to know where I am. Does she accept that you're going with Satnav or was it awkward? Yeah yeah it's fine. That's fine yeah we listened to the Beatles a lot. I mean he's a great band but trying to find a middle ground. It's good middle ground. What would you listen to with your mother-in-law? How was it a calf my lover-in-law? My lover- Oh, oh, that is a Freud. It didn't slip. Oh, no. Oh no. With my lover, stroke mother-in-law. My lover? Again, something like the Beatles or Elton John. or I'd just th, I that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd that's the 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 that's that's that's that is something something something something something something something something something something something something like I I'd that is something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something something, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd I'd the the the their something like like something like something like something like like something like like like something like like something like like like like like like like like like something like like like like like like like something like like like something like something like something like like something like something like something like something like something like something like something like something like something like something like something like something. I'd just put like magic on. Yeah, yeah. Radio to something very generic. Yes, I'll probably pick a radio station because then I'm a bit like, Anne's off here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we did the full white album, the full Abbey Road. No wonder your stress. Knock out three hours of the six before a stop. I'm feeling king of the world at this point. That's good. The kids are asleep or just iPads or just looking up the windows. Just iPad. I've made my daughter a playlist of her favorite songs which is about an hour and a half and she just listens to that again and again and again. It's great. Nice. She sings along quite loudly but they're not. they're not allowed iPads in the car. they're just that. They're just their headphones. Oh right. Well no, no, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're not.

I thought they'd get like a car six. They never have, they just go asleep. Oh right. Well, I know they're they like iPads in the car as long as I would as well, but I've just never given it to them. Because they're attached to the back of the seat. Oh right, so that's a bit better. Like a plane. So it's like being on a plane, yeah. It's exciting. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like. We don't like th like th.

I'd recommend it. Anyway, the kids in the journey was totally fine.

It was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I was so worried about it. We stopped, nailed the stop, did the toilets, got our food. As we're leaving, walking past Burger King, Rose's mom says, the kids, do you have done that? Do you say that out loud? No, it's too late. This what's waste of belly for that angry, keeping this stuff locked in?

And then we have chips in. They sit in. Just a portion of chips each. Yeah, because they'd been snacking on all like sandwiches, all that. So you want four portions of chips to chef? No, I didn't have any. I didn't have any fucking chips. I just sat there seething. Did your mother-in-law?

No. You're watching two children eat chips. Yeah. When you've got a salad nap. It really brings home to you how much time it adds to a service station. How long has been burglary in chips? Well the whole service station added 45 minutes and you're like, fuck it now. Okay. Had they had lunch the kids? Yeah, well they've been snacking the whole way, do you know what I mean? Yeah, but she's probably thinking these kids need some proper lunch. I know she's not wrong. We just didn't want to do it. Well, we could have just the fucking the car up. to get. Well. Well. 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 lunch. their to. their to. their lunch. their lunch. their lunch. their lunch. their lunch. their lunch. their. their. their. their lunch. their lunch. their. their lunch. their lunch. their lunch. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. the. the. thea. thea. thea. th. toda. th. th. their their th. th. their their. Me and Rose on the way home, we stopped once, we did a night drive so the kids were asleep. That's a good way to do it. We stopped once, a shell garage, got straight out, got the stuff, got back in and carried

on. How long did that tak? How long do that? I'd say that's good. Yeah. So what's it's the the they. the. the. the. the. the. the. ti. the. ti. ti. the. tod. tod. tod. tod. tod. today. tod. tod. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. to. toooo. toooooo. toooooooooooooo. to. to. too. too. too. to too. to totoo bad. No, not too bad at all. Just waiting for it all day, don't you? We enjoyed ourselves. It's just chilled out. And it's definitely relaxing to be on the beach when you know you've got a six-hour drive coming up.

I thought you were going to get the Well, quite often the way it went. No, Rose goes down on the train room. Yeah, yeah. She's all right. She's a builder. You're there plowing through her mom and burger king chips. Yeah, I know. It's rather you, isn't it? Yeah.

To be fair, we get that. The house is incredible, incredible job.

Yeah, it was a brilliant time. I'll just bring up the problems. And she's poured her heart and soul into it, Rob, and it is incredible, but I'm going to say it. Yeah. I'm not sure I drive with her mom again. Wonderful woman. Incredible woman. But... I just think Rose needs to take the hit on the driving. Or send her on the the the the the the the train train the the train? the the the the train? the the the the the train. the the train. the the train. the the the train. train. thrown. thrown. thrown problem. the problem. throombs. throombs.

I like my in-laws. But I... No way. They're're strapped in you can do two on your own yeah but you're constantly feeding them snacks and stuff you're constantly having to oh I play a stop working that kind of thing I know I would rather go solo would you yeah no and they'll go I play a stop to the next stop in three hours yeah so why don't you have a little fucking kit? no thou what I would do is I tho tho I their I their I their I their 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 th th th th th th th th th th that th th tho I tho I their I would their I their I would tho I tho I their tho their th their the th the their their their their they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their I their I their I their I to to to to to to to the to to to to to thou to to to to the the the the thou to the the the the the the their their their stop. In three hours. Yeah. Why don't you have a little fucking kip? No, what I would do is I would do what you do of like leave late or leave really early. You couldn't really do it because you was doing last leg. But I would rather hammer it down on my own I think than go with someone. Obviously if it was with Lou or with like, it is hard. As much going with someone you know as much as we love our mother-in-laws

I don't do seven hours in a kind of anyone I don't think I could do it with anyone other than rose now What drive down to yeah, what about me and you? I'd rather die? Yeah, no, I think that is a long old slow But I'll rather go alone. Your mother-in-law could just jump on the train and then their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th th oh th. th. th. th. throw throw throw throw throw throw throw throw throw. tho. throw. throw. throw. throw. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Her and roads could just go on the train, then you just drive down the load. But honestly, it would have been unbearable on my own because it's stuff like, for instance, packing up the car and stuff. When you've got a two-year-old and a year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year year old and you're to to to to to to to to to to to 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 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 th. th. th. thoes. thoes. thoes. try. try. train. train. train, try. train, try. try. try. try try to to to thoes thoes to drive.

But maybe she helps you load up the car, then you just drop off of the tube. See you there. So few highlights, Rob, or low lights. So when to watch Plymouth versus QBRobobobobobobobobobob. that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. toe. toe. toe. toe. to to to to to to to to 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 to to to to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. the. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. their toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. Go on. So I went to watch Plymouth versus QPR, because that's nearby. So how far's Plymouth from your place?

Hour and a half. Okay. We've got very different definitions of nearby. Yeah. Rob, in Devon and Cormal, that is near. I used to go an hour to sick form. Oh my God. I can't do it, Josh. I can't drive for seven hours and have one portions of Burger King chips.

You could have been in New York. No, you couldn't be in New York. Add on all the bits to get to New York. A 12 hour. Yeah, but are you in New York? Yeah, but Rob, let's be honest. I couldn't buy a house in New th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. th. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. th. th. th. th. th. I' th. I' th. I' th. I' th. I' thi. I'm th. I'm th. I' th. I' th.

That would be very expensive, the amount of time Rose spent in Cormolk. He'd be absolutely sell your ass. Josh is doing three pantos this year. Our options weren't

Cornwall or New York. True. Anyway, but you had a good time in Cornwall. Brilliant time. So I'll focus on the negatives. Go on. Lost our sons dummy. So we had to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the to the the the to 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 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 tho. thooo. thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooes. thooooooooooes. their their their their the good time in Cornwall. Brilliant time. So I'll focus on the negatives. Go on. Lost our son's dummy. So we had to do it enforced Dummy Ferry. It was the end of dummy. It was the end of dummy. So you only had one dummy and he'd gone. It was gone. But how old is he?

Two and a half. Yeah. And then went to Plymouth versus QPR Rob. Yeah. He was in the cot, I'll find the... So you're trying to watch Plymouth and you're getting dummy updates. Okay. Plymouth one-nil down. Yeah. You know, relegation six-pointer. Rose texts me. He's absolutely beside himself tonight. Been going for nearly an hour, calling out for dummy and then asked her a cuddle, he's now in our bed. Is that the builder? I've put, oh God, so so sorry, what else can you say? I'll be honest to that point, my mind was else where my mind was on relegation. I sort of get it because, you know I've done that before and I've been at home with the kids and I'm missing.

Totally. Deep down you know the person that's not there does not give a fuck. Do you know I mean? You just go oh God I'm sorry that's a shame. If I'm doing it I know Lou don't care. Yeah but you've got to vent. Yeah and then Plymoth equal I's five. five minutes from the end. Yeah. Check my phone. He was so upset. He's fast to sleep now. Not sure whether you want to sleep in one of the double beds because he's in our bed. So basically I'd lost our bed, Rob. You'd lost your bed. So you're in the spare room at the new place already?

Yeah. Yeah. Apart from the ghost stories, Rob. Yeah. And I scared myself so much they couldn't sleep in the room on my own. So you still weren't sleeping with Rose and your son? No, because he was still in our bed every night. Well, the whole time you were away? No, just for the last few days, because the Plymouth game was rightthen the ghost stories got me so then I just had to sleep on our floor on a futon. Josh this is this is so bleak. Where would you sleep? In the bed alone and not scared of ghost stories. These are really scary ghost

stories Rob. Josh this holiday sounds shit. No but I'm focusing on the bad bits aren't that? Eight hour drive down with a mother in law. You had to go watch Plymouth play football. I didn't have to go watch Plymouth Play Football. It was a fucking great night. We got a point. How is your two-year-old?

I don't want to sleep in a room on your own because someone told ghost stories. Yes. That is really weird for an adult man. Not fictionalized ghost stories. All ghost stories are fictionalized. There's no ghosts. Wow, is there, Rob?

Is there not? What do you mean not fictional? Like people sharing stories. There's one about Michael and his dead grand. That's quite a good ghost story. Michael, can I bring you in for a second? Of course. First of all, do we think we need to do something about Josh's state of mind at the moment? That's always a default, yes. Have you ever been so scared you can't sleep in a bed on your own? Just one time in my life? Ah, thank you. That was just one time and the place was, it was it was very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very. It was very. It was very. It was very. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. th. th. their. th. their. th. their. their their th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. thi. th. the.? Just one time in my life. Ah thank you. Yeah, that was just one time and the place was, it was very, very scary. Am I doing a podcast with two absolute pussies? What's is going on it? Was you an adult, Michael? Yeah. Maybe we'll do a

Halloween special. I think if we had a vote on our Instagram, yeah. Have you ever been too scared to stay in a room because of thoughts of ghosts? Because of your own weakness. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ha, ah. I thought I'm turning to Clark's and all like an LBC radio DJ. So you, after two hours of chats, sharing ghost stories, not like around a fire or anything, but just that's what it got onto. Yeah, you wouldn't freak yourself out. I could sleep anywhere. Big shot. I won't be freaked out. Oh, we'll do a Halloween special. I'll tell you some ghost stories and then you can record yourself. And see if I can deal with it. Yeah, okay.

Anyway, it was a great holiday, but what I've done is I've highlighted the bad bits, because I just write them down because that's what you're looking for. Right, okay. Do you want me to tear back when I went to the football? I've just got one thing to tell you about, after the football, more embarrassment with celebrity. More embarrassment with celebrity. Okay, well, this feels like play the day before, so it was a bit, obviously someone cancelled. Yeah, yeah. But I was invited by the CEO to watch in the director's box. I watched Plymouth in the director's box. I know that's not as impressive. It's a different thing.

It's a different thing. It's a different thing. Alan Sugar. As do all the apprentices that go on his show.

Well, I was on the table with Natalie Portman and the President of Rwanda. Did you ask him about the flights? No, I didn't ask him about the flights or Natalie about Star Wars. I thought let's not bring up any contentious issues about the Phantom Menace and the Phantom flights. That is insane. Natalie Portman. Yeah, her son's a massive Arsenal fan, so she was there. Is she based in England? She lived in France for a bit.

She's filming in England, but she lives in LA, very American. Right. A laugh? Yeah, she was actually. Really good laugh. What about the president of Randa? Not as much of a laugh. But I th, I a full critique because I didn't have one conversation with him. No.

You know, he's sit on a bit of a table and it's a bit like, where did you start with the president of Rwanda? So who else is it? Well, definitely the flights. Who else was there? There was the CEO. What's your majority? Vin and Liz? Yeah, and then, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, Natalie, the, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, the president, th. th. the president, the president, the president, the th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th, th, the.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. And I was late because I was coming back and I got caught in loads of traffic and it all went a bit wrong. So I got there just before kickoff. Yeah. My brother Joe just had been sat there for an hour chatting. Oh my god. He was like, I didn't know what was going on. That is incredible. It was a Munich game. Oh wow, that's exciting. Very very exciting. So did you find out who dropped out? No, didn't find out who dropped out. I should have asked actually. And but also Vin is a big fan of the podcast. Who's Vin? Vin is the CEO of Arsenal. Oh? And he listens to the podcast before Arsenal games calm his nerves incredible. Well shout out to Vin. Big up Vin and Liz. Let me show you this picture. It's amazing though because he sent me his picture on the way to the Arsenal game. Unfortunately it was the one we lost.

But he's got a photo of his car Apple play with the podcast on and it says, Welcome to Emera. Welcome to Emerit Stadium and he's pulling it in. And the episode title the episode title the episode title to to to to to the episode title episode title to to to to the episode Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. Amazing, amazing. Anything else to... Yeah, we should cordon these things off as are unrelated. Because I don't think anyone's gonna argue that my seven-hour car trip with my mother-in-law has made me too unrelatable. We'll cordon these off as our celeb bubble chat, Rob. I'll tell you whattalk to me about your their awkward, celebrity and celab in Calcab? And then I'm going to go real

into parenting next week when we talk about school shoes. Oh yeah, big time. I was reading a article, Joe Lyser edited the new review in the observer and I was reading on the Guardian website him interview Robbie Williams because I like both Joe Lyser to Robbie Williams and Robbie Williams was saying he th I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'll to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their. I'm to to to to to to to their their their their their their. 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 their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. I tr. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. I'm true. Iester and Robbie Williams. And Robbie Williams was saying he does art on Instagram. Right. And I was like, I'll chuck him a follow. Obviously you click on Robbie Williams. He's got three million followers.

Yeah. He's following. to 40 people. Yeah. Have a sneaky look. Yeah. You and Romish. Alex Brooker.

Not you. Not me. Not me. It's fine. Everyone around you though. Everyone around me. Which means he's heard and seen you, but thought not for me. Not for me. And then Rob, follow him. Think nothing else of it.

Hour later, DM from Robbie Williams. Hey, what t on here then? Is this, he's got three million followers? Is this automated for all followers? It must be. So I get some people to follow him. They don't get the message. Oh well, were they verified people? No they weren't. Maybe that's it. So I am following, follow him? Because maybe he's got a thing where it's automated for verified people. Yeah, maybe. Did you reply to him? Yes, I did, Rob. And what did he say? No dice, Rob. Slakeyes for me. How quickly did he reply back? An hour, so it wasn't automated, straight away. Yeah, nothing's come through on me for that. No, no, but it took an hour for it to arrive. But surely he's not aware. He's got 3 million followers. He can't be tracking

who's following him. Bearing in mind he doesn't follow me. I saw his documentary. I reckon he's sat there on his wirefronts, laptop out, phone out, just keep it on top of his socials.to keep on top of the social Shosh. So I feel like I've been ghosted by Robbie Williams even though he's replied to me Rob. What did you say to his reply was there something weird? No it was good. What did you say? So he said what took you so long would you say you know only good ghost stories? I said Robbie is this actually you? Yeah if so love the Netflix doc and love to to the the the to the the interview the the to the interview the to the interview the interview to the to the the to the to the the the to to to you the the the to you the to go go go. the the the the to go go. to go. the the to go. the the the to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. the the the the the the the to go go go go. to go go go. to go go go go. the the to go go. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the too. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. this actually you?
