Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Okay so was this secondary school? Yeah. Yeah because primarily there weren't a lot of it was you went to a big second year. So there was two there was the year was split in two so I had a top and a bottom in my half of the year. Okay and on each year I would be
Starting point is 00:02:59 either promoted from the bottom for being too good or relegated from the top for not being good enough. And I I the the the the th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. the th. I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm th.

I mean, I'm theantop for not being good enough. And I'm going to tell you now, life is a lot more fun in the bottom group. It's nice being a big fish in the school point. It's lovely being a big fish. Someone in the bottom group didn't finish the hundred meters Rob. Oh, poor so. I did mine about 43 seconds. Yeah. If you had to pick your sport and the best, your best at, it doesn't mean you're great at it, but you, what would you be? If I had to play for my life on a sport, pool. What? Pool, like snooker. But ball? It's pool. It's pool. It's pool. P-D-O-O-L. I thought you meant throwing the, you know the, you know their, I don't know. I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm that, I'm that, I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th.

Starting point is 00:03:54 well I'd start by never shutting up about it because that's what you're to do apparently that's what you're to do to do apparently. I'd then do a series of Instagram videos about how I'm training for soccer right even though it's a one-off friendly game. Yeah and then I'd play... Take it far too seriously and completely forget the whole point he's raising money for Jerry. Yeah I'd do that as well yeah and then I'd I'd probably play well I'm not fast I think I've got a good engine yeah so maybe midfield yeah Midfield, yeah. Okay, fair enough. I'm shit. That's one of the problems. It's hard. My problem is stamina. I can't keep up. I can't do
Starting point is 00:04:37 a lot of five-side, but 11th side is too much for me. Yeah. I'm going to get super fit and nice. I'll stop running. I still don't think I can bother doing 11 aside. People get a bit too aggy on Sunday League. Yeah, I hate people like that. You don't want to be the geyser off the telly, they're booting. I just, the thought of people taking amateur football seriously is just grow up. It's disgusting, isn't it? It's pathetic. I mean I still find it pathetic when people get really upset when their football team loses. So do I.
Starting point is 00:05:08 I just like, yeah, obviously you want them to win, but like an annoyed at the time when the goal goes in, you can kick off a bit, but if it's affecting the rest of your day. If you get home from a football action and your team's lost. If you're, if you're angry about... How up are Plymouth getting on? Really badly. No, no, actually we sacked our manager. She Macca. No, no, he went to Stoke and then he got replaced.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Oh, imagine... There's degrading in it. What? Imagine someone leaving you to go to Stoke? Don't? I'm a big glamour club's coming. No offence Stoke, but it'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, th, th, th, th, th, th. No, th, no, no, actually. No, thi, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. th, th, th, th. No. No. No. No. No. th. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. I, thi. I, thi. I, thi. I's, thi. I's, thi. I's, thi. I's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi to Stoke. Don't, Rob, don't. I genuinely... A big club, a big glamour club's coming. No offence Stoke, but it's not Madrid or Barcelona is it? So who have you got, who did you sack?
Starting point is 00:05:51 The guy that replaced him was, did a bad job. Right, and then are you going to stay in the league? Well, since she's mucking out at a stable. Yeah, Josh, we know about those the results. We've got seven points from four games, which is pretty solid for in relegation battle. And are you going to the Millwall. Yeah, I'm going to to Millwall on Saturday, someone I know who supports Millwall. But that you're going to be in a box though, aren't you've been? to be in a box? And will. their. their. their. th. th. th. their. their. th. their. th. th. the th. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. th. th. th. We's, th. We's, th. We's, th. We's, th. We's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We're. We're. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're thin. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're th. We're thee. We're you're not. So I would suggest maybe wear a hood cover up a bit, hide away a bit and then get in the box and if Plymouth score I'd go for a clenched fish little pump under your coat. I don't think that, I don't think that, I mean I'll be excited but I wouldn't go that far off. I think I was sort of ridicule at the football covered in jizz in a box. But yeah, I wouldn't jump up and celebrate that, I wouldn't be okay.
Starting point is 00:06:47 But you'll be alright. The way to play them for a plan, I don't think that'll be a problem. Bit of fun. Right, should we get our guests on? Yes, Louana.

And then I've got a seven-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-year-in, to, to, I, to, to, I, I, to, I, I, I, I, I, to, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, to, to, to, th, to, to, to-a, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to-a, to-a, to-a, to-a, to-a, to-a, to-s, to-s, to-s, to-s, to-s, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, to-a, thi. And, to-a, to-s, to-a, to-a, to-a, a seven-year-old and a six-year-old. I've basically never not been a mom in my adult life. I was telling someone that. How old is you then when you had your first? Was it you? It was me. I was just, just 23. I was young.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Have I got this right that you've got different rules for your 13-year-old than you have with your younger ones? Yeah, I I I I I I I I I all my mistakes on my 13 year old and it's gone too far. I can't backtrack now. So I'm like, okay, that was like the warm up kid. So how she turns out. Her 13 year old is the most delightful, wonderful young lady. She was like the warm up kid though. And you're like, oh, I'm not going to do that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. to do th. to do th. to do th. th. th. to do to do th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the the their. I'm their. I'm their, I'm their, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I their. I their. 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. the. I. the. I. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm. I'm. I'm. the. I. th. She was like the warm-up kid though you know that and you're like I'm not going to do that with those next ones because... So what did you which way do you think you went wrong? I I think probably like not strict enough. Okay. She's a good kid you know she's like a great kid she's really nice but she's quite a very grown-up 13-year-old and sometimes I think maybe because I was like a single mom and it was the th.. they. th. th. th. they. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I they. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. I'm th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. Which. I's th. I's th. I'm th.... I's th.... I's th.. I's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I's the th. I's th. I's th. I's the th. I's the the the the the the. I's the th. the th. W. th. the thi. W. thi. W. I's th because I was like a single mom and it was just me and her and she was always surrounded by adults maybe
Starting point is 00:11:27 that's why you know she probably had tick-talk and snapchat and I wouldn't get get my little ones a phone yeah when did she get a phone when she went to secondary school in year seven and so what's good the rules gonna be for the younger ones I'm just not gonna get them a phone I'm just gonna be like I don't I I the I the I the I the I the I the I the I the I the I the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. I th. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm gonna th. I'm th. I'm th. 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 th. I th. I th. I'm. I th. 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 th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm probably probably th. I's probably ones. I'm just not going to get them a phone. I'm just going to be like I don't care about what your friends are doing. But I think we know now that how damaging that is to kids and honestly it is I don't know. How old are your kids? Eight and six and six so they want phones but way too young. What are your kids? Six and two? They haven't got into phones yet? Yeah. But I think now like us with their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their that that how. that how. that how. that how. that how. that how that how that how that how that how that how that how that how that's is how. How that's is how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how. How. How. How how how how. How. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is. What is their is their is their is their is their is their is their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. thou. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's is th. that's got into phones yet, but they're fully aware that we like our phones too much. Yeah, yeah, but I think now like us with the The age that all our younger kids are we know like not to get them Snapchat Not to allow the tick-to-talk now whereas with her we didn't really know that No kids are just so desensitized now to she's like the content. It's like the the content. It's the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi's they they they's they's they's they's they's they's they. they's they's to their that's that that that that that's that's the the the the the the the the the the their their their they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. to. th. th. to. th. to. th. th. th. they's is they's they. so yeah I sort of tend to to be honest it's quite useful having this friendship with Lou because I am watching all of the mistakes and then I'm learning from that and going and that's what
Starting point is 00:12:31 I'm not gonna do and I'm gonna follow this path over here so it's a wonderful friendship yeah because Lou you're doing basically the two complete opposites now so Anna you and your younger ones are still older than Anna's one so you can watch both approaches and then pick your your choice Anna. Just don't do anything like me exactly. And it's and it's and it's tricky as well because I you know me I wear many different hats but one of them being you know with with me counselor hats on is children's counselor and as an NSPC and childline counselor it's really it whole different ballgame when you've got your own kids. It's so different, having your own.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's so much easier to, you know, listen to and deal with and therapy's children that aren't yours. But when you have your own, it's terrifying. When you say you're a child line counselor, where you sat on the end of the phone and kids would phone you in distress. Not Lou's youngest, she's not allowed to, not allowed them. No, no. That's why that's why they not allowed them. I remember, I used to say to my parents and I was younger,
Starting point is 00:13:32 I'm going to call Childline. Yeah, and is that how you two met? Yes. You were really getting on on Childline. Yeah, she was our top returning client. Yeah, no, but I was, do you know, there is, there is something really quite, I mean, it's such a special, such a special helpline, but yeah, there is nothing more eye opening
Starting point is 00:13:52 than being on that phone when they are ringing in, in all kinds of situations, so it's definitely character building. It's really cold in the studio. Can we put the heating on? Do you know what? I was really hot because I'd been puking and now I've got like this weird cold shiver. We can all blame children. I mean the children have all gone back to school. They give us all their jobs. But I feel ill by the end of Easter kids have 10 weeks off in the summer. Ten weeks? Ten weeks? But honestly they're never at the bloody school.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That's true, so I say to it every time because I go to state school, they go to a nice little village Catholic primary and whenever she's saying your kids. Mine's their kids. Mine's back at school boys. Is it a boarding school or is it? Yeah, my eldest boards for three nights a week. Yeah, like, because everyone boards, it's like the culture of the school that's all very like. And I didn't go to boarding school.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I begged my parents to go to boarding school. I wanted to go to the one one board board board board the one one one one one one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board board the one the one the one the one the one the one the to to to to go to the one where you take your horse and they didn't let me basically. Well, we don't have horses as a kid. I didn't own my, I've got horses now, but I didn't own my first horse until I was 15 and I had to get a job to pay for the horse. Like I wasn't, my parents were comfortable but not like loaded. And so do you two talk a lot, Would you discuss parenting techniques and stuff and give each other tips or do you feel like your... Yeah, we don't.
Starting point is 00:15:29 No, I think what's quite interesting about our relationship and people often say this to us, like some people go, oh my god, you're so wildly different, but yet there is such a thread of similarity between you to, which there really is. And actually when it comes to parenting. And, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, tip, to tip, to to to to to to to to to to to to toooo, too, to too, to to tips, tips, tips, tipes, think really aligned I think Louisa is probably the most aligned friend I have when it comes to parenting I mean and she will joke about you know the kids but I I see behind closed doors and this is what I love about Louisa she doesn't really care what anyone thinks as we always know so she doesn't feel she needs to show off to Instagram to tell everyone what a great mom she is she Instagram. But I'd say we're both very, our kids hang out quite a bit and they love each other and we're both very, we're both into routine, we're both into strict, you know, being routine,
Starting point is 00:16:15 strict discipline. We're both very loving and hands on with the kids. You know, we're just winging it. I mean, we fail all the time as you say, but I'd say we're quite similar you're good. When I've have th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. We're both thi thi thi thi all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all th. We're th. We're all all th. We're all all th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiiiiiiiiiii. theeei. thei thei theateateateateate thi say but I'd say we're quite similar in our techniques. When I've had issues with my eldest, which have been frequent, I do, I've message you quite a bit like oh what should I do? She's done this now or we're going through this and I always thought like having little kids was so hard but I feel like little kids are physically exhausting and not so much mentally exhausting because well they're just not that smart yeah are they but as they get older the mental and emotional strain it's the needs of being a parent is is really tough like it really is like parenting a teenager especially a girl I don't what if yours about all three of mine girls yeah Yeah, the girls and I are really tough. Like boys are much simpler creatures.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I have to say actually when with the with the teenagers actually I think that's probably where a lot of my background, my child line background comes in from way back in 2009 that's when I I trained there but does come in because that would be the typical demographic that I would deal with. So I think it's so much easier being kind of a friend's parent when you need that, someone that actually cares about you, like I really care about Louise's kids, like genuinely. And so I want the, you know, what the best for them. But sometimes you're too close as the parent. Yes. But also you know what you're you are a proper, you're a proper, and as much as we do Sleves go dating again, which is sort of silly and fun, but you are a proper trained counselor and professional and psychotherapists, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Even on that show, you can switch into, you know, sensible head and proper advice kind of stuff. So it must be great, you know, you know, for your friends that they can just chat and mess around and free. It's free. It's free. It's, it's, it's, it's dating with a celebrity sign up, you know, it's just get thousands of pounds of free therapy. But it is a vacation, and you'll know, Rob, I mean, you see the, you know, all of the footage,
Starting point is 00:18:12 you know, and it's, but it is something that I genuinely love, whether it's just ingrained. You know I'm a people person I'm naturally curious, I naturally but I'm so well trained as well to be very boundreed with because people that's if you're carrying all this stuff about people your brain would explode and this is why it's so important what I say to anyone that wants to get into this field is make sure you do the correct training because you're trained to brain dump it because otherwise you'd go start raving mad. Yeah I couldn't do it. When you're counseling someone I've always wondered this if you're you got various clients and are there ones
Starting point is 00:18:52 really like this person's a fucking warrenker? I can't stand this person. She's not going to say yes to be. No not not not name and shame I mean but are there ones where you go I actively don't like this person? Yeah, you do get definitely more challenging ones. And would you carry on working with them? No, you would ditches them. Well, I would say ditch. I would say you refer on.
Starting point is 00:19:15 No, you refer on. Ethically, you have to be able to connect. The underpinning role of a therapist is rapport. You have have, you, you your clients. So if I'm not, and actually sometimes that's and again that's why it's important to have the right training because you have to recognize when you're not doing your best work and and actually I'll be honest with like celebs go dating you know sometimes you know you do you warm to some some celebrities more than others at times. I couldn't want to end in them. I'd say most of them are nice, but there are some that are saved by the edit. Are they just, and by you, and by you. We've all been saved by the edit, Rob.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Les Les Les, let's, we've all been saved by the edit as well. I never get faked by the edit. But I think that's that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I th. I th. I th. I th. I the the the the the the the the the the their, and I, and the the the the the the the the the the, and the the the th. I, and th. I, and th. I, and th. I'm, and th. I'm, and th. I'm, and th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm that, and that, and that, and that, and that. I'm that. I that. that. that. that. that. that. that, and they they're they're that, and th. I anymore. I know that really is me. You just can't edit that. You can't. But I think that's in a way why I still, I love it even more because that is every councillors, you know, you need to be pushed. You know, it's not, it shouldn't be easy. You should have people that jar and that challenge you more and make you think outside the box andtime and time again. So with your kids, how do you like help them with their like, I know they're still young, but they're sort of, you know, like at school, there's all that stuff about, you know, friendship groups
Starting point is 00:20:30 and all these things that kids really care about but we all know is complete bollocks and in the grand scale thing means nothing. No, but it's so big so so so so so so so so so so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so big so the so big so big so big so their so big so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so big. It's so their. It's so their. It's so their.

And actually, he actually kind of looks a bit like Josh. He looks a bit like Josh. Anyone that wants not what my boy looks like, he looks like Josh. But as you say, it's such a massive. He doesn't sound like him, does he? Thank God. Very, very similar. But as you say, it's such a huge deal.
Starting point is 00:21:07 He's seven and a half and, you know, we took him to the opticians. And today actually was the first day's gone in with his new bins. Oh no. Oh my God, that's huge. But it's huge. at the weekend with all the kids and we do this thing. It's meant to be once a year. Somehow I've been lumbered with doing it twice this year. But everyone comes to my... She lives in an 18 bedroom mansion boys, we're here as much as we can. Yeah, everyone comes to my house, kids and we all like bed down and they were like getting on to the little beds on and I went, where's your glasses? Because if they're not on the face,
Starting point is 00:21:47 they should be in the case! I was like, oh my God, you fucking lose a mom. Like, seriously, what are you raising? He's not gonna be a cool kid. We need to like, stop saying that to the kid. He's already got glasses. He's already on the back foot. Yeah, maybe say put them in the case when you're not wearing them, but I don't think he needs a slogan. She's like done a fucking jingle.
Starting point is 00:22:13 A slogan? A the slogan is a jingle. Also, no glasses wearer is putting them back in the case. That is though. I don't even... Do you know where your glasses cases Rob? No, I didn't. No, I haven't seen this is the day I put my glasses off. Where are your glasses, Anna today? Wait, look, they're in the case. If they're not on the face. If they're not on my face, they go in the case.
Starting point is 00:22:33 My glasses went, their glasses 'll pass me with glasses, and so I took him off like that with one hand. She was like, no, no, no, that's not how you take glasses off. You must always, with two hands. No way. And I'm like, why's a fucking serial killer, mate? I can't go into a meeting, like, I can't go into a double-and-er. Oh, my god. Is that, she's saying that's why your glasses are wonky? Because of the way you take them on and off. But I'm like, I've got time to do a double-hander. Oh my, my, I don't want to get into a driver in life. It's not that big.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Double-hander, you wish. Lucky Lou. Lucky the to throw. different we've established that why how have you ended up doing like how did you meet we were but we met on pregnant pregnant I mean yeah we were both what both are on big brothers bit on the side two of our kids are like four weeks apart in age and yeah it was big brothers bit on the side I was the psych I thought you were gonna say I was the size of a house and I was like she she was massive she I was massive she I was massive well that's actually that was my that was my that was my that was my the the first the first the first the first that was the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first. the the first. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the. the I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the the the the size of a house and I was like, she was massive. I was massive. Well, that's actually, that was the first sentence that Zisman ever said to me, but this
Starting point is 00:23:49 is why we get on. So I mean, for anyone that knows me, you know, and you'll know Robbers well from some of my rather lude antics and love of flatulents, but I'm such a tomboy. I'm such a tombu. I, I, I grew, I grew, I grew, I grew, I grew, I grew, I grew, I, I, I, I, I grew, I grew, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm the, I'm such a the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the first, their, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, their, their, their the first the first their the first tombomb, the first, their, the first, their, their, the first, the first, the first know I have a pretty thick skin and I was the resident psych on Big Brothers Bilt on the side and Louisa had been on Steppety Big Brother as a contestant and it was doing the panel show I met in the green room we were both heavily pregnant and I was I gave birth two days after doing that show I was having contractions like on the show I was doing it I she walked into the green room she took to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the to the the the the green room I was to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they I I was I was I was I was I was I was I was they. I was I was I was te I was I was I was I was the the they. I was I was I was I was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the show. She walked into the green room, she took one look at me and she went, Oh, you're massive! And I was like, brilliant. There are this. And I was like, yes I am. And she was massive. But Anna's very small, she's like really petite person. And people always think, whenever anyone meets you, they're
Starting point is 00:24:40 always like, oh you're like way smaller than I thought you are. And where she's so small, it was just like a big ground. It was, I was out there as I was as wide as I was high. Yeah, like for real. It was like, you were like a box. Oh, some miserable old bitch went and told me when I was 12 days overdue. And she went, oh we're carrying triplets are we? Oh, you you you you you you you you you you th, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th.... Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, triplets, are we? I'm like, you'll fuck off. I know, oh, you know, fuck off. But yeah, we are wildly different. It was a lot of water.
Starting point is 00:25:08 It was a lot of water. A lot of water. It was every 7 pounds 3. But we met, but we met sort of really through that. And then it just turns out,the similar time, Louisa reached out to me, I didn't have any mom friends because I hadn't had a baby before. Oh, I had terrible post-sale depression. Like post-natal psychosis, she went fucking mental, like legit.
Starting point is 00:25:33 And I was like, are you okay? And just checking on her, because I obviously had already had a kid, and I had to have post-natal depression with depression with my depression with depression with depression with depression with depression with depression with depression with depression with depression with the the to pressure pressure pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to pressure to the the to to to to to to to the to to with my second, because I stuffed the shit up for that one. I was like maternancy nanny 24-7, like I'm not going through any of those sleepless nights ever again. But I like... Because you do have quite a lot of help then with your kids. Not the first. That's why I was so depressed. It was the worst thing I ever did. I was like 23 and had no clue what I was doing. And then I had the the the th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I had th. I was th. I was the th. I was th. I was the th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was the th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was to thi. I was to toeatheed. I was to do. I was to do. I was th. I was th. I was thi. I was thi. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toeateateateateateateateateateateateate. I was toeate. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was toe. I was like 23 and had no clue what I was doing and then I had this child and my ex-husband was the worst ever and he was just like, no he wasn't great. And then you know they're like oh you should be breastfeeding. No it
Starting point is 00:26:20 made me so depressed breastfeeding. I don't know some people love it and it releases all those endorphins for me I would, I hate breastfeeding. I don't know some people love it and it releases all those endorphins. For me, I hate breastfeeding. I'm a massive advocate for not breastfeeding because I feel like it made me so depressed. And I know that there's so many women that feel like, oh, we've got to like get the nipples out all the time fucking fucking. Yeah, no, my friend Katie, she's like earth mother and I love her to bits actually. We're really good friends, but her kid would only feed on one boob. And in the end I was like, you got to stop doing this because that poor one boob it was like, well you get lopsided tits. Oh, it was lopsided. No, and her nipple just went dead in the end. And she used to wear the baby. And she. And she And she the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th and she the th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th thin thin thin the, th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she thin thin thin thin th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th. And she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she th and she thin thin th. And she th. And she th. the theee theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee would would only would only th. And I'd be like, you've got to get that kid out the sling, like, this is not working for
Starting point is 00:27:06 you. But it was working for her. And then the kid would just pull out the nipple and it was like, you know' christenings and She was just standing talking to people and the nipple There was like even no boob there even in the end the kid had sucked everything out of her And I was like, you are just talking to all these people at this christening and you cannot fill your nipple and it's just out I like nobody said anything and I was like you need to stop this now this isto stop this now This is not good it gets mentioned a lot on this podcast, you know But we if people are enjoying breastfeeding is working for him fine But if it's making you depressed and hurting you then stop yeah each their own yeah always each they're always I don't know people just get really weird around breastfeeding like you say my first one? the first one actually improved it actually improved my post-sental depression when someone else could feed him on formula because it gave me a chance to actually recover and repair from
Starting point is 00:28:10 this horrendous birth but then my daughter second one I really wanted to try breastfeeding and I thought I'm not going to give myself any pressure on it if I do a do if I don't I don't I don't it to do it with her. And I only did it for about eight weeks, but I really did enjoy it. And then it was just, to be honest, much easier for everybody all around. You have to go to work. No, I'm a working mom. You had to go dating. I did celebs, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 That's why I think you'd stop. Yeah, I did actually. do stuff as well and be involved in it. So when you, because you said you had a tough time of your first and then when the second two you staffed up, what does the staffing up mean? There's more nannies than kids. There's more nannies than kids. There's more nannies which does make me laugh because there was a point actually very recently where I had three nannies and three knannies. The nannies out ratioed. their 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 had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had I had their I had I had I had I had their I had annies out ratio to the actual children. Okay, so what situation you are now? No, I have two nannies. Two nannies, right? Yeah. But they don't work at the same time? No, no, they don't work at the same time unless like I have friends over and then I draft a lot of nannies in so that my friends can come and relax. Like this weekend we have a few nannies here, because we, you know, I just, yeah, I just think, why not? To be honest though, like Louisa's house,
Starting point is 00:29:28 it's, this is something like, I always say about Louise's house where we are at the moment, where our podcast studios. It is the, it's the reality show that I think would be the video, that should be made that will never be made. But this is a household like no other because if you work here, you don't really work here, you're just part of the family. And so it's a very, it is like a commune. It's like put your car keys in the fruit bowl, pick them out. There's no sex though.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I just want to add to that. There's no swinging that goes on. It is the most, it's really odd when you describe it because people can't really understand it. What about the new cleaner recently? Oh my so this is so the running joke on our podcast so one of the podcast is that so I do not live in a house like this but I I well how big is it's quite a describe the house it's it's it's like well I can have you ever been to Champneys yeah?

Starting point is 00:33:49 It's not like living in a shop. Yeah. Yeah. Basically. And you hear like you hear people and I'm like, oh. But that's why, so my parents live in, because they've got a house. Like an annex house. So they live on the ground? Yeah. And we knocked through the p the p the p the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house the house. the house. the house. th. the house. th. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the house. the the the the 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 the the th. Like an annex house. So they live on the ground? Yeah, and we knocked through the pantry so we can walk through our house into their house, through the, and our studio is in my parents' house because... So you are making sacrifices, you've lost the wall of the pantry? They have. They have. Do you know what? And then our little studios in there because it's quiet right? Like in the middle. My house is really noisy. And it's brilliant because I basically hate people in my house. I like to have no one in my house.
Starting point is 00:34:28 I'm very antisocial. Tell us about your house, how many staff Anna? Oh, the last count. I think there were. I do know I love my granny pad. It's in desperate need of a renovation. It's been needing a renovation since 1970. It really has. It really has. But I, but I think this is what you know, I am so happy for Louisa. She's too indecisive. That's why it's not had a renovation. Louisa's life is wonderful and I'm genuinely like good really really really really really really really really really really really really really good good good. I that. I that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the that's their. th. their their that's their their their their their their their. It's their.

It wouldn't what I would. You hate truly. I love my, yeah I would. I love jipping into it. It's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:35:11 And I think it's wonderful. I genuinely it's brilliant. But there's no envy there and I think that's why the also the friendship is very strong because we're always gassing each other up we're always supporting each other and like you do you honey and where I live so I live about 20 minutes from Louisa you know a beautiful little village and I'm cute just like it's like Emma Dale but nicer yeah I'm all about the country barbecue life so yeah we have like a little four-bedroom cottage which is like loose in a very desperate need of a renovation it's grade two listed conservation area area. We finally got planning, but who knows.
Starting point is 00:35:45 No, you know, like the old villages where there was like the post office, the saddler, the cobbler, the butcher, the baker. And yeah, so hers is like one of those, like the butcher's house. And it's so chocolate bugs. And there's like a little river that you that you that you that youthis, obviously you've got this unique living situation that she's not sort of the norm. So how do you feel about your kids growing up in that? Because obviously it's so different to what you had.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah. Do you know what? I'm actually really conscious of that. To be to be totally honest with you and it's really hard so I make the kids, they make their beds, I will, I make my elders do her own laundry. Like on it, you know, when she comes home from school, because at school they do their laundry as well. They're doing more than my kids Rob. They got 15 staff, my children don't make their fucking beds. No, every day their the kids. My kids I have to wake up. My kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their kids, their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their own, their own, their own, their own, their own, their own, their own. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their own, their own, their own, their own, their own, their own, their own, their their their their their own, their their own, their their own, My kids, I have to say, have been trained since they were like two, they will make their beds and they'll lay their little teddies out.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And they're on Super King so it takes them fucking ages to be their times. One of them is. And so she's the best one, that one with their room as well. Like, they'd empty the dishwasher, they'll always like, you know, put their plates away. I try to get to do stuff. We're going to put people out work, Hilary. So there's people I'd say this. I know, I made my eldest yesterday because she was still off school because then never go to that school. And you know I made her go out and like their their their their their to to their to to to their to to to their to to their to their to to their their to make their their muck and muck and muck and muck and muck and muck out, you're muck, you're their their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, make, make, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck, muck out, muck out, muck, like, like, like, like. So I do try, but it is hard, but I think that it's hard for any parent nowadays, despite like the fact that, okay, we have this weird living situation, I think any parent struggles
Starting point is 00:37:34 nowadays to help their kids contribute. I call it contribution to the household. So I'm like if you're living here, you have to contribute to family life like we're not your slaves and you can't just leave you know and unfortunately in my house if they do leave something and we have this like my friends will come every and they'll be like oh my jump is gone and I'll be like oh yeah it's been tidied away basically and it will be hanging in my wardrobe or because you cannot put something down because it's moved straight away like the house is immaculate but it's you know in any way shape or form like we shouldn't be picking up after our kids like they have to contribute whether they are to like and there are chores and I a great believer
Starting point is 00:38:13 in doing chores and I and I feel like you you have to teach them from an early age to work almost and and you got a grind for everything right so even from two there are chores that I would have your kids doing at two th th th th th th that th that that that th that th that th that th that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the that that that that the. the the the the the the the the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'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 the. they're they're everything right so even from two there are chores that I would have your kids doing at two years old that age appropriate. I will do washing I'm like honestly I get up normally I get up at quarter past four in the morning I'm in the gym at five because it's the only piece I get in my house right so I have like four hours to myself. Yeah and I go to the gym at five, and then I finish in the gym by six. And then normally I'll go to the laundry room,
Starting point is 00:38:47 I'll do some laundry. And like, because I, and then, because also, I don't want like, the people that work for us to judge me and feel like I'm lazy. So I will never, like, if I'm sorry, I have a, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, so I was bedbound, I couldn't walk basically, I had a really bad back. So I had to spend... How is your back? It was quite a bad accident, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah, no, I broke my back and I didn't realize it. It's like, everyone's like, how did you break your back and not realize? I thought I broke a couple of ribs. I was like, oh, then, but my back's good. I had all my spine injected. Oh, that's good. Great neuro-spinal surgeon. So I'm back.
Starting point is 00:39:30 I'm fighting fit. Well, not today. Not today. So, anyway. So, what the time I. If I had 15 staff I'd be getting up at midday. Just say, you know. Josh, if you had 15 staff you'd be so stressed and awkward around them. You wouldn't be able to funk, you would just come. Oh don't, yeah, can you do that? But don't do that? But I'm the same. I really struggle with people in my house. Yeah, but I used to. I'm micromanage. I'm their. I'm the. I'm the. I'm micro. I'm microman micromanaged. I'm the. I'm the. I'm micromanaged. I'm the. I'm. I'm micromanaged. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm microman. I'm. I'm microman. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm the the the the the the the th. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm so. I'm to. I'm so. I'm to. I like a housekeeper before and then I didn't like her and I said to my husband, oh you've got to sack her, like I don't like her.
Starting point is 00:40:12 And he was like I'm traveling, you have to do it. And bearing in mind I had a business where 30 people worked for me, like I had a big warehouse, I was used to managing stuff, I could not do it in my house. And I was like, oh I'm really scared and I made my mom like sack this woman with me because like, you know, she was like not good. She wasn't working up for us. And I was like really scared, but now I'm like much more assertive because you have to be, you get used to it. You get used to it. I'm Natalie Cassidy and I've been wanting to do a podcast of my own for a very long time and here it is. I'm going to be talking each week to family, friends, most importantly,
Starting point is 00:40:56 you. I want to talk about the issues that are bothering me, things that make me smile and how we get through that washing basket without having a nervous breakdown. This is a podcast for the general public for the normal people. So get on board, become part of my community, and let's have a laugh. So you're going to get the kids to contribute to the household. What happens when exams come around and careers? Because if you are sat in this sort of mega house with all these people working for you you sort of think it doesn't really matter what I do in my exams because I think I'll probably be all right do you know I they're not okay like I repeat this to my child it's like an abbreviation like billed
Starting point is 00:41:33 like Bill Gates where you don't basically give your kids anything so I'm like a. I to their eldest I'm to their eldest I'm to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm the th the the th the to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I their. I their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. I. I th. I th., like, you need to sort your life out, like get a student loan, go to university. I don't believe in this gapier bullshit, go and fucking live your life on your 18. You need to get a job or go to university. Like I make her, she's not great. I know she's only been a couple of times, to be honest. But I'm really good friends with my local pub landlord. and polishes the cutlery on a Sunday morning. She only done it twice, but she's only 13. Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Like, you'll give her like six pounds an hour and I'm like, children do you earn that six pounds, didn't it? They have to learn. It's hard work. So you're gonna cut them out at 18, is the plan. I'm not, I will not, I will not, I will, I will, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, the, I, the, the, the, the, the, I, the, I, I, the, I, the, I, the, I, I, the, the, I, I, the, the, the, the, the I will do, because I think it gives independence, is get my kids a car and driving lessons when they're 17. I will do that. But I'm not, like, my kids know, they're not getting some kind of monthly allowance from me.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Why should I do that? I didn't have that. Like they need to work. And I'm, but I believe in hard work and in graft and yeah, there's no way.. I, I-generational wealth no thank you I remember having a job at 1516 and it was the better and you know I remember I worked in McDonald's I cleaned loose you know and actually that having I've been working in McDonald's I actually not not as much Macadier's yeah I left I didn't like that no it was I got sat for Morrison it was the toilets I like cleaning.
Starting point is 00:43:05 But I think it's really important that regard, I mean, look, let's be honest guys, you know, we all do these weird and wonderful jobs, right? And I guess we're all in a fairly privileged position. Through our own hard graft, you know, I don't think any of us have landed in, our careers have landed in our laps. We have hustled for it, right? And we all love our kids and we want to, you know, give them as much as we possibly can. But, you know, I am a huge believer in work ethic as well, because you've got to give, funnily enough actually, going back to the counseling thing. There's a lot of very, you know, wealthy, but like you said Rob, you know, if you've got nothing to strive for, you know, if you've got nothing, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, and, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, and, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, and, to, and, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to me.a.a.a.a. too. too. too.a. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too, too, to success, you are just in this sort of vatten's void of doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:45 And I remember loving only my ÂŁ2.73 an hour at Macadiers, you know, because it was my money and my mom and dad couldn't tell me what to spend it on because it was mine. And I think that is such an important. I'm the same with my children actually, it's seven and four, you know, you they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their., you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're, I'm, I'm, you're, you, I'm, you, I'm, th., that, that, th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th....... th. I, th. I, th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, th th th th th th th thouin just you know make your bed and they're not going to do it brilliantly but again it's just that especially with a boy I find I find bringing a boy up to
Starting point is 00:44:10 make him clean the toilet all that pee everywhere all that we yeah I find that a particular responsibility actually being a boy mom you know especially I think boys you know they they have a very unfashionable gender they they men in general. You know, and I do have a real... The father of two girls, I hate boys. But there you go, yeah, so they never wanted boys. Yeah, you don't like them. But I really didn't want a little boy because there's such a weight of responsibility, I feel, raising a boy. Do you, do you think, Anna, that Louisa will go through with cutting them out of all the money?
Starting point is 00:44:46 Or do you think it's big talk? There will be no money. I spend a lot. I know a lot about it. It will be no money. I know, Louisa and her husband is. I know how well. Louisa and her husband, they are extremely kind.
Starting point is 00:44:57 They are their tas. they are very, very kind. They're both grafters. Neither of them were born into a privileged lifestyle, and they're only at this point now, through their own hard graft. You know, individually, everyone thinks, oh, Louisa's just married a massively thrown, you know, which think you're right, I think it's a halfway house between Big Talk,
Starting point is 00:45:27 but also I know you and the way, the way you and your husband parent your children is you do not want entitled children that have nothing to strive for. Yeah, I think you'd be failing your children because I feel like, I really want to raise children with that hunger in their belly, that fire, that fire, that fire, that fire, that fire, that fire, that fire, that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that their their that that that that that that that that that that that that th., I their their their their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their, I their their their, I their their, I their their, I their, I their, I their, I their their, I their their their their their their tha, I tha, I tha, I really really really really thaugh, I really really really tha, I really really thaugh, I really really tha, I really really thaugh, I really really their their their their their belly, that fire, that want to achieve and to strive to achieve. And I think as human beings, we're quite, like I would say, high achievers, not in a sense of like financial and I find that I have to, yeah, that I always have to be doing something and achieving something, whether that's, I don't know, just competing my horses or
Starting point is 00:46:03 doing something. You could just float around your horses and not doing something. I don't know just competing my horses. No, but you could, this podcast, you don't need to be doing a podcast really. You could just float around with your horses and not doing anything, but you enjoy creating stuff and making it and things like that, which is a good example to say I think. And I think you have to instill that in your children, like that hunger and that drive because I just, what are you not, what are you're going to, what you, what, what, what, if, what, if, what, what, if, what, if, if, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thoo. thi. thooooo. the. thoo. the. thi. thi, thi, the,'re just going, you're just a blah. You might as all be a little slug. Like, do you know what I mean? They're just like, you're a nothing. And I feel like I want them to have that fire in their belly,
Starting point is 00:46:33 to that drive and that, like, want to constantly move forward and achieve, like, whatever that is. Now, I wouldn't really support a degree in any of the arts, even though we do work in the industry. Yeah, but I just feel like, I'm not gonna pay for that, no. Like a vocational. Not even if one of them wanted to go to that acting school. No, I bet if they're a real passion of theirs.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I don't fucking care, go and get a job and pay for your hobby then. If they don't want want a the their their their their their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to to to to to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho to thi thi. thathea. thathea. thathea. tho.

No, it's not about the types of being an engineer. I think that nowadays, I'm going to sound really old-fashioned. I think we focus a lot tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thu tho tho thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho tho tho thi thi thi tho tho tho tho tho 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'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 thi. they're thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoooooooooooooooooo-s to-s to-s. toda today tho' tho' tho' tho' to be so happy and what you do all the time. It's called work for a reason because it's fucking hard and you should work and then you get money to pay for the shit you enjoy. And honestly, that is how I feel about work. And I look, I'm lucky, I like my job and enjoy it. But I don't always think that you have to constantly be this euphoric happiness about what you do because you've got to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to to to be to to to be to be to to be to to the to be the to be to be the to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their.

I'm th. I'm their the the the the their've got to know what hard graft bloody is and so I I don't buy into that school of thought that
Starting point is 00:47:50 oh you you've got to really do something that you're passionate about no you don't you've got to work and earn money and then do like a hobby if you feel so passionate about that go and join like a frigging part-time acting theatre in your provincial town and great if you get lucky. Like so many people go and they do all these bullshit degrees and then they're like slashers. I call them slashers because it's like, what do you do? I'm an actor slash work in a bar slash clean toilets. Slash. You know, you go to LA. Oh, what do you do? Well, I'm an actress model, but what do you do? Oh, I like work in a shop, which is fine. But you can't be a slasher for your whole life.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Like at some point, you have to like knuckles down and do something. There needs to be a moment in time when someone's given the opportunity to try. Sure, if you're 55. Not on your watch. Not on my payroll. I get, you the the the, you th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. thathea. thathea. thathea. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th that that that that that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha's tha's tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. to to to to tha. to to to to to to to to tha. to tha. tha. the shit that you want, but the variable there can be the shit that you want. So if you don't want that much, then you can do a job that doesn't bring as much in if you, if your needs as more. Yeah, if you're happy with that, but then argument would be like, you've got off and done an art degree and you earn a little bit of money, but I keep coming to you going,
Starting point is 00:49:06 can I have five grand for this, can I have, when you go, well, no, if you want that, you need to get a job that pays? Yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a job that. I'm not, I'm basically financing her kids. No she took me back next week she came in and she got a few yeah we were working we were recording and she came in I was like I'm not giving you any money to get your house done you've not you've not you've not you've not done anything yeah you've not earn any money like I give my daughter a hundred pounds a month pocket money right which I think quite a lot it's a lot and then I was I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I you I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like I was like 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 it's a lot and then I was like you have to budget within that you
Starting point is 00:49:49 can't get that on the first of the month and it's all gone by like the you know a week later I was like if you get to the 29th of the month then you want your nails doing which you're gonna cost 40 quid which you're gonna buy off in five thi quid which you're 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're you're gonna 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th I th.

I'm not paying for it. 40 quits a lot of your monthly work. That's 40% of our monthly weight. What can I say? Alan, do you, so you undercut? You went behind her mother's back? No, she knew.
Starting point is 00:50:15 I was like, I've got no cash. Her mother's poorly back. I was like, come on. Do you know what? She's such a sweet little girl. So was it a lend or is it a give? It was a give. It's all meant to be a lend. And now it's a give. It's been a give now because it's not come back. I've written it off.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I'll give it back to you. It was a lend. How do you think, Anna, how do you think Louisa was on age, I'd probably be quite good. I'm very practical. She didn't fucking stop. Yeah. I don't think I don't. They're even trying to get her off the phone. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Josh, I feel it's gone so quick. Yeah, we need to get you back on again for a seaguay. What do you think Lord Sugar's like as a dad? What's he like though? Absent probably. No, no, how many kids have he got? Have he got two or three kids? I think actually he's been a really good dad to those kids and he's a bit like me of the school of hard graft and not dishing out to them because those kids work, it work in the business. I know that they do because sometimes I drive they drive th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he thi he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he that they do because sometimes I drive past their office. I think two. Oh, I don't know he never talks about. Well, does he talk about his kids?
Starting point is 00:51:28 Never heard to talk about them. But I know that. It's not hard to talk about it on his show, isn't it? You completely fucked up the sales pitch. You were a little disgrace. I think he's got a daughter that's got kids and maybe doesn't maybe she doesn't work, but I think the son works in the business, definitely. Oh, that must be tough being Alan Sugar's son in his own business. And right, for the last question, Josh. Should we do it about their partners or about each other?
Starting point is 00:51:55 Let's do it about each other? Let's do you see them as friends however you want it really? Do you see them do and you're like that is why I fell in love with them? That is what makes them so incredible that is and the other side what thing does the other one do that annoys you that you've never brought up but were they to listen to this podcast this would be your way to tell them? Oh good one. I mean they listen they they they they they they they 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're they're th.

Do they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they the they the they the they the they're they're the they're way to tell them. Oh good one. I mean they listen to this podcast but you probably don't need because they're sat next to a yard apart. So the first is what do we like about each other? What do we like about each other? All parenting. I love that Louisa is she's very kind, she's very warded. That hasn't come across Anna. that they're that's that that that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th the th th they're their that they're their they're that they're thaten they're thaten they're they're they're they're they're their 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to to to their their their to their to to to to to to to to to to to to to ty. to to to toge. to to to the. the. theat theat theat their their their Louisa is a lot kinder and warmer than she likes the public to think?
Starting point is 00:52:47 I don't want them thinking I'm nice. Oh, yeah, that's exactly. I like that I'm unapproachable. Yeah, she's, uh, I don't want people coming up to me. Is there a character of Louisa's Isman and a, and once the mics go off, she's like. No, I think Louisa likes who she likes, and I think I know who she feels comfortable with. And it's like, I think we're all, you know, I'm actually quite an awkward person.
Starting point is 00:53:12 We should always, we should all be selective about who, you know, we're friends with and who we have in our lives. And, you know, I's... That's me and Rob. That's your Rob. Yeah, she's, um, she's, um, she's very kind, very, very, very loyal and I think that's a wonderful trait and especially in this day and age. And actually, no what do you know what, you know, the overarching thing actually is she's fun.
Starting point is 00:53:38 She brings out thethey're in the case you don't mean what am I saying I'm a fucking hoot I am hoot but she she can throw caution to the wind quite a lot and I think that's I think everyone kind of needs to have a crazy friend and that that's kind of Louisa in my life oh lovely oh there I am like I am like I am like I th I th I th I th I th I th I am like I th I am like I am like I th I th I th I am like I am like I am like I th I th I am like I am like I am like I th I am like I am like I th th th I am like I am like I am like I am like I am like I am th I th I am th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th th th th th th th th th th I th I th I th th th I th I th th I th I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi to to to thi to thi to to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that that's kind of Louisa in my life. Oh lovely. Oh there we go. I am like I appreciate Anna so much and love Anna because she is the calm to my storm right so like I feel like if I didn't have Anna and my husband in my life I would just be like well don't know where I'd be. I'd probably be like stripper in Vegas living my best life to be honest without all these children. Like cocktail do you want a carcote to? because? because? because? because? because to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that to that that to to that to that that that that that that that that th because th because th because th because th because th th th thi thi thi tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th because because because because because because because because because th because th because th because th because th because th because th th th the th the the the the the the the the the tho the the 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 th living my best life to be honest without all these children. Like, cocktail, do you want a cocktail?
Starting point is 00:54:28 No, so I feel like Anna is my, like, she grounds me, like, you know, she, and not in a sense of like we have all this fluff around us, but just as a person, she's very much my, like, like, on my shoulder, my sense, but she's not sensible. She's like super fun and making me sound really boring. But she's just, she's my steady, you know? That's a lovely compliment. Like she is my steady and I know that,
Starting point is 00:54:56 and we can do, I think it's really rare in your adult life, and as a female, I don't know what it's like being a guy, but to try and make friends, thfere friends friends friends friends friends friends friends friends friends, tha to tha to tha to tha, tha, thine, thine, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I to to to to to th, I th, I thi, I thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I to, I to, I'm, I'm, I guy, but to try and make friends or new friends as a female in your adult life is actually really hard to make friends as an adult anyway, I feel. And friends that aren't like, you don't want to be always friends with the mums at the school gate just because your kids are friends. Like to really find a true friend as an adult.
Starting point is 00:55:20 It's really hard. And to find a friend 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 that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can that you can't to to that's that's to to to to to to to to to to to to to really. to really to really to really to really to really to really to really to really to really to really to that's is that's is really that's that's that's that's to that's to that's that's to that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. I the. I the. I can't thr. I can't thr. I thr. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I to to to to to that's really that's really that's that you can do everything with like we can do Everything together. So we can hang out Ourselves and just sit and read a book together. We could go shopping together. We can go on holiday together. We can go on holiday with our kids Our kids can hang out and to have a friend that's all encompassing like that and to be able to belly laugh like we do to your side's hair is so so rare to like get 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 the to to to to to to their to to to to to to to to to their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. tho. tho. tho. to to to to tho. to to to tho. to to tho. to their. their. their. their. their. to be able to belly laugh like we do to your side's hair is so so rare to like get and and to have someone that you can confide in yeah one question are you reading the same book or you sitting silently reading separate we we we will sit silently together like or or chat like or or chat like or or ch not like and I think to have a friend that there is like that and it's almost like you're sort of like a like a non-sexual partner I guess you know we could live together with our
Starting point is 00:56:14 kids and be like super happy and Josh we love fucking each yeah he can't sit in chat no try to read the bit together we can't look believable but yeah it is it it is not what do I they hate I the the they they they they the they they the th th th is and the th is and is th is the th is th is th is th is the th is th is th is th is th is th th th th is th is th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is they is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi they are is th literally take each other's clothes off. But it is not, what do I hate about Anna? Anna is the biggest hypochondriac you will ever meet. Like bad, hyperconduagre, bad. And the ironic thing is, I'm always ill. She's the one all broken. And I'm like, like I break my ankle in September and didn't know for like two weeks I was walking
Starting point is 00:56:45 around on this broken ankle and eventually I can't work out. You can't get, you break every bone and you don't give a shit. Like since, what, I mean I've broken a lot. You've broken a lot recently. My knee, I broke my knee, my ankle got a horse riding. Yeah, well when you play polo, this is like a dangerous sport. There is. There the the the the the the the the the th. I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I can't, I can't, I can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can can th. I I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm the. I'm broken, I'm broken, I'm like, I'm broken, I break the. I break theat. I break the. I break the. I'm broke th. I'm broke this horse riding? Yeah, well when you play polo, this is like a dangerous sport. There we go. Of course you play polo, fuck it out. It's one of the most dangerous sort. So yeah, I broke my knee, someone rode into me and then someone hit a ball and it broke my ankle. She's just bionic. She's just bionic woman now.ac, but I have no right to be a hypochondriac, although can I just say, the best thing... When did you last call 1-1-1? Probably a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Yeah, always. But the best thing about having Instagram and having DMs is I now have an actual doctor Charlotte, yeah, of GPs and medical professionals who if I have a problem I can just DM them. Just DM them. I can send them a rash. Yeah, they can tell me what the rash is. I can tell them I've got some peri-menopausal symptoms. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're not GP. I mean, I'm gonna need to see a closer up picture than that, please. She's a typic– So I guess, what's Louise's Louisa's irritating habit? Go on, hit me with it. I don't know really. I'm so perfect.
Starting point is 00:58:11 She's, I mean, she's, I think, I think, well, I say irritating, but I have to be careful with this one because she is currently over going through, perhaps an assessment on this. So there is a little bit of retention deficit and hyperactivity around it. You may have picked up on it. 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 th th th th thi, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, 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 th. I th. I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho. tho. thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi, there is a little bit of retention deficit and hyperactivity around this. When you may have picked up on it, I am quite sure that we are going to get a positive ADHD results. Yeah, I can give you that.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Some of your fake doctors on your Instagram will be handing them out. Yeah, exactly. But to point out, because I don't want people to hate me for saying it, but that's not a criticism or an irritation. It's an observation because I have to keep her on track on something takes, because her brain goes in so many different directions all the time. And it is it. Well, I have to get up a book, oh, a tree. Yes, we can be talking about something. Oh, look at that over there. 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 th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. tho the. the. theat that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to about something. Oh, look at that over there. I need to order something on Amazon. So keeping her focused on something is impossible.
Starting point is 00:59:08 It's quite the challenge. You've got to fill out that form for me. I did it. Did you do it? Yeah. I'm getting an ADHD. What is it? She's going to see?
