No, I just not interested. You must know what these memes are. I don't know. Why would I? I'm gonna lose my job. I'm panicking. I'm gonna lose my job. What's that? Josh, what world are you living in mate? The world of a 41-year-old father of two, right? Okay, well, Michael's not. Well, Michael's not here today because he's away. Will's here who's recording this, Will. Will's cool. He's young and he's got a baseball cat. He's 33, okay, so you're not young. How do you know Will's 33?

And basically, I feel like what I just heard there was the start of your conversation. You turned it on, I wasn't hearing, and you said, Will, how old are you? tell?
Starting point is 00:03:32 No, I was talking to Will. I was talking to me? I can't remember the line, but I know what you're referencing. Uh, brother, brother, uh. That's it. And it's a good impression as well. It's a great impression, thank you, Will. Don't wander to this shit. Let's move on and let grandpa Google blind date. Fucking grow up.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Grow up. Grow down, grow something, I don't know when this goes out, but your positivity, because of your new fucking life choices, is pissing me off when it's pissing me off when it comes to football. I'm happy for you to be a very well balanced man with great mental health when you're at work with your family, but when it comes to football, you can fuck off with all this take a chill build stuff. It's doing my th. What's. What's. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th. What's th.

Enjoy them out! No, but the tactics and the players that they're picking on, right Josh, and no kind of meditation will help that. Rob, yes. Grow me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. But Josh. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Can you change the England team? No, but but but but the the the the the the the the the the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage th. the courage the courage the courage to the courage to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change to change the courage. to change the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage. the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage the courage. the courage. their their courage. their courage. their courage the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the to to to to to to to to the c.team? No, but Garof Southgate can and he can put foadin in at number 10 and belling him and rice in the middle and Gordon on the wing, Josh.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, but I don't think you tweeting about it. I don't think he's strong enough to manage massive egos because he's never managed a top European club. Okay, I've said it. Do you think he could manage you? No. I could barely manage me. Lose fucking trying. Lose at the end of her 10. I'm partly doing it. I got so annoyed with football fans that I've started over-adjusting, Rob. Right, so now you're super like, hey man, it doesn't matter. It's just, you know, what'll be will be. Can I say, I've got an idea for the show, Josh. How about, yeah, where people send in, the start of like funny meme quotes off Tick Tock and the internet. So like, uh, brother, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And then the line after it is brother, and then you have to guess what Instagram? This is for Michael when he listens back to this. Yeah. Because let's just read out what Michael's fucking, get the small violins out for why Michael's late. Right, yeah. He's technically on a work trip, wasn't he? Listen to this, fucking.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Sorry, I was in can't today. Yeah, supposed to be in to be in to be in to be in Greece to be in Greece to be in Greece to be in to be in to be in Greece last night, misconnecting flights, so I got stuck in Milan. Now having to fly to Vienna to get to Greece. Fucking out. He's Simon Cowell, we're Jeddwood. We're in the trenches with Will, no offense, Will. While he's getting around the world, he's sending a younger man to an old man's job.
Starting point is 00:06:23 At least Will knows all the memes. Well, 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 tha. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thus. the thoom. thoom. thoom. thin' thin'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'n't. too. too. too. too'n't. too'n't. too'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n' all knows all the memes. Well, that's what I want to do. Can we put on our Instagram a poll? Rob, you choose three memes. Yeah. I want to know, do our listeners, are they aware of these? Am I old before my time, or are you trying to hold on to your youth when it's gone? I'm a sexy young gun. Are you a sad guy? I'm socially aware Josh, okay? I'm not I'm not wandering around dressed like these young kids, but I'm on a level where I can communicate with them Josh. I love to turn to friends. I've got my finger on the knob of youth. Right, Rob. How's your week been? We've been busy, very busy. This is like a world, busy period where it's near the end of term, the termermermermermerm, I I I I sports, I sports, I sports, I sports, I, I, I, I, I's sports, I, I's sports, I's sports, I's sports, I's sports, I's sports, I's sports, I's sports, I's, I's, I's, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I'm, I'm, I've their, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's, I's, I's, I's, 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's, I's, I's, I'm, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm notthe end of term, but not the end of term, where there's sports days, there's assemblies, there's like, because they've learned stuff all year, they want to show you it, like, we went to a concert and they played the recorder and then they were singing in the choir, kind of, so all these different things, and my work super busy.

Starting point is 00:07:47 so it's very busy, but like my kids do this like poetry thing. It's called elocution, but it's not really like, talk properly, it's like. I'll be honest, with the house they're growing up in that is about all they've already lost. They're gonna have a very different life life in to to to their to to their their to their thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they's, they's, they's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. I, 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, to, thi, to, thi. to, to, to, to, they's, they're, they're, thi. they're, thi. thi. thi. thi. th lifestyle to me growing up. But they say elocution, but it's more like public speaking, so confident in giving a presentation or, but they've been given these poems, they've been given their poems and they're so funny because they're properly like giving it some. But anyway, they're like, oh, that's sort of like a lunchtime little club that they
Starting point is 00:08:18 is not part of school curriculum. It's an extra thing you you you you you you you you know if you pay for it, I'm not sure, losing charge that. But they were like, oh they're going to do a poetry elocution, mental load, poetry elucion performance so you can see what they've been learning. Yeah? Yeah. I was like, okay, cool. Guess what time the performance is? I'm going to be sat down for a performance. I would be sat p.m. after school. No, it's before school. 7.55 a. What? No one's poetry that, Torr. I know one needs poetry that. Maybe I do, depending on the result of the England game. God knows when this goes out.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm not happy. Did you think of anything to rhyme with Trent Alexander Arnold? No, I can't, Josh. Okay. off. Fun off. Is Fodin the best number 10 in the league? Yes. Is he the best winger in the league? No. Is Anthony Gordon a better winger? Yes, playing there then. It's simple, Josh. You wouldn't send me, right, to Durham University to do an hour of stand-up political stuff. That's got Nishkumar written, everyone needs to pick their lane and succeed in what they're good at Josh. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:28 I would agree with you, but I've done at least 15 mock the weeks with you. And neither us were suited to that. Yeah, no, but if someone's in a payment, I'm not shooting. I'm not blaming the next game up front or would you think the hatred rained down on you from the nation would be too much to put you off? Well, when politicians say country before party politics. Yeah, yeah. That would very much be Rob Becky before country opportunity. And you might school. Oh my God I was talking to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the neg. nega. nega. nega. nega. nega. nega. nex game. neg. neg. neg. neg. neg. the the the the next the next opportunity. And you might score. Oh my God, I was talking to a guy at school yesterday.
Starting point is 00:10:08 He's really tall and he was playing basketball. Sorry, where was you? Baseball, are you? Ha ha ha? Haleigh? A Slater, you're just hanging out of a baselier, right? Okay, so it's been basketball at the school game. Well I tell you what I happened so yesterday it was England v. Denmark
Starting point is 00:10:30 as the day we're recording this sorry if it's a bit out of seeing. We're all over the pace at the moment so sorry but we'll get back on track in the summer. So we came up with an idea to do watch the England game in the school hall with the kids. That's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th th th th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. the th. th. the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. I the to. the. That's a great, five o'clock, so, oh that's good. Yeah, so it was really good. And England, this is why one of the, I didn't care that much about the game, I didn't get to watch that much for it, but also, England scored while the kids were still interested. So that was fun.
Starting point is 00:10:56 . Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I was, their, their, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th.... I was, th...... I was, th. I was, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. 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, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, thi.. I was, thi. I was, th. thi. th. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. I was, th.. Right, so it's just some dad's in a hole. Because it was a parent's the parents had to be out there all the time because it was like a parent's PTA event rather than a school event if that makes sense. Anyway, so I was stood in the playground with the dad and the kids were playing basketball and then he shot a basketball he's and it went in and he's massive right. Yeah. And I said to him, thi. And it. And it. And it. And it. And it he. And it he. And it he. And it he. And it he. And it he. And it he. And it went. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. their. their. their. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, I was. Yeah, the, the, the, the, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah, t. Yeah, the. Yeah, the. Yeah massive, right? Yeah. And I said to him, did you do basketball at school? Have you always been tall? And he said, you've always been saying. He was like, no, not really. I shot up. When I was 15, I was only five foot eight, and then I went to six foot four within a year.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And I was like, I'm not five at eight now. You've just said when I was 15 I was only five foot eight. I was tiny. And out of nowhere. I'm a grown man and I'm not five foot eight. I think five foot eight. I could probably get away five eight and a half in a Air Force ones. Why are those ones so big and strong? Do you ever think that? You see like a guy, like, how was he made then? So why is it so big and strong and there? All this bits and bobs and arms seem to be in the right place. And I'm this sort of like troll man, but when I look to my history, I am basically from farm laborer. You should be big. No, because you've been working in the field Yes, but carrying stuff on our backs you haven't been squashed
Starting point is 00:12:28 We've been squashed, Josh you haven't been squashed by time Squashed down by the big thumb of hierarchy The big upper class look on Jacob he's never carried anything in his life is not no From the stench of his own shit around with him, but I've been carrying sacks, the dockers, that generation carrying shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's an advantage to be small because you, you're squat. A small and wide.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's a v. Squirt. What about you? What have you come from? You're quite, I'd say, wiry in a complimentary way. So my dad's six foot right but my mom's short she's two foot six isn't she is two foot six yeah. How tall she at 15 this is weird seven foot but then she grew down she grew down she knows her memes yeah she told me that she was the tallest girl in school at 11 I think but then just never kicked on. How tall is she? She's got 5.3, 54, I don't know. You know, like she never kicked on. She was like Theo Walcott.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Just really, 17 was flying but they never really grabbed it unless a contract was up for a renewal. Yeah. So I don't know where my smallness comes from. My granddad was in the navy. Was he about to be little to get in the to get in to get to get to be to get to be to get to be to get to be to get to get to be to be to get in to be to be the bun to be to be to be to be to get in to be to be to to to to to to to be the the the to be to be to to to be to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. the thoomfoomorrow. thoomorrow. thoooooomorrow. thea. thooooooooooooooomorrow. the. thea. thooooomorrow. the. the. the Navy. Would he have had to be taught to be in the Navy? You have to be little to get in the bunks. It's about to be little to get in the bunks. Shall I mean? Can I talk to you about something? Yeah, is it my radiator?
Starting point is 00:13:53 Yes, what's going on? I saw so on Instagram. that one's still hot. So it's linked to the hot water circuit rather than the heating circuit. Right, okay. So the hot water is still on obviously. Yes, and that's running through the radiator? Yeah head. No, it doesn't. No, how's it linked? No, what I mean is, I don't know how plumbing works, Rob. It's not the same water that goes through everything, is it? Right, so you said the radio was broken, but you've got a builder to fix it? No, I didn't get a builder to fix it. We've got a builder here. Shout a builder.

You're moving, ain't you? No, we're not moving? get... Hello? It's Rose gone? I don't know where she is. Oh sorry, Adrian? She's probably in Cornwall, Adrian. Good timing, isn't it? Is Adrian the Builders just looking for your
Starting point is 00:15:12 wife? Where is Rose? I thought she was downstairs. We only just got back, so I think she must be downstairs. Is Adrian seeing a lot, Rose? Me and Adrian have a great time. Do you? Yeah. Where's Adrian from? I thought I heard of that. Romania. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Do you talk about football? Great chats about the Euro. So we have great chats about that. And also just like, Romania doing well. Oh, he went home early that day. Did he? Is that where Rose was away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. to watch the Romania game. Is that where Rose is away as well? Rose was away, yeah. Yeah. He said to me, we're the worst team in the tournament and then they won 3-0. He was absolutely buzzing the next day. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Because Ukraine are decent, yeah. Yeah, I obviously, I said, obviously you have to support Ukraine for obvious reasons, but I was pleased to him. has been working on the house as well as chat about football. And I said, oh, could you have a look at this? There's a few things we've got. I was like, oh, you could just have a look at this because you're a basically a proper man. Yeah. Real man. Yeah, yeah. And I said, this radiator won't turn off.
Starting point is 00:16:14 So I've been turningry the other way? In my defense, yeah. The arrows say off is the way I was turning it. Okay, so in your defense the arrows are wrong, so you turn it off. So it's been installed to turn the wrong way. Okay, right, so fair enough. But did you not think to turn it the other way and try? Well, clearly not. You've been motivated the threath even attempted to turn it the other way. I know that he's labeled wrong, but I'd say there's two ways it can go.
Starting point is 00:16:50 So you've constantly been turning it one way and going, that's not working. Well, I haven't constantly been doing it. It's just stuck in the, right. What, it turns out hard as it comes, and you've turned it on? Yeah. Yeah. This is the really, what idiot tact. I've been occasionally really wrenching it towards Max further, thinking maybe it's stuck.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Twisted it so much that the radio is like, I'm going to be on Max here. This guy's cold. Was it stiff though? Would it not turn the other way then no it would turn the other way I just hadn't done it so tell me through what Adrian did we just turned it clockwise well the counterclockwise immediately no he went always stuck that way I'll try the other way I said give it an hour so he gave it an hour yeah and it was off Have you and Adrian spoke about this since? Yeah. I tell you what, I bet he couldn't wait to get home. Hours work, you will never believe. I've met some thick, fucking idiots in my time.
Starting point is 00:17:54 This guy. Adrian loves working for us. He keeps coming back. It might be because I'm so thick, it's quite easy to work for me. Well though, you look, it seems like a good guy. You're like, you're busy guy, you're not technically minded, I'm not either, I would have tried the other way. Would you? Yes, I assumed you'd had.
Starting point is 00:18:13 It's because I follow the instructions because I'm a good boy. Yeah, absolutely. You're a great boy. got a issue, why don't you tell me and Michael and the listeners what's happening and then we could maybe suggest things. Yeah. Does that work with the fish tank, didn't it? The algae? Yeah. Yeah. Before you know it, you've got a clean tank now, are you? Exactly. Well, I'm glad you've called it down. It's too hot. It's too hot. Perfect timing. It's definitely too hot for a radio. It's the the the the that's that's the that's that's the that's that's the that's the that's that's the that's that's tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. It's tha.

If that makes sense. Hey, Josh, if you're thinking the right way, the sun's always on you. You sound like something I'd text someone after the England going. You're trying to get on their side. I've got a good one. Do you want to do you want to a good a good good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good quote a good to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho thoano tho tho to thoomoomoomoomo tho thoomo to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 thooo tho tho tho tho tho thoo tho tho toa tho th invincible summer. Blamey. Do you know he said that? No. Carusafgate 2018. Did he? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Anyway, any news? Yes, so the radiator? This has been going on for two years? Three years? I know it's bad, isn't it? It's not just like this summer. Yeah. This has been going on for years. Yeah, I know. My daughter's going to football. Playing it or watching it or watching it or watching it to an extent or just following the euros. I don't think my daughter's really into, she plays football on a Saturday morning and in the football team at school. I think she's like hanging out of her mates and not learning. Yeah. Because they've not even looked once at the football football that I'm watching for the euros. Yeah, so my daughter, we've got a babysitter who was here on one of the evenings, I can't remember, because I was working, Rose was away.
Starting point is 00:19:53 And, Josh, people are coming up to me in the street and saying, what's going on with the Rose stuff? I have defended you and said, well, sometimes we might record two episodes in a day, so I already know and I'll ask him again to wind him up. So like it's normally, you know, but then I go, yeah, but it does seem a lot, doesn't it? She's here today, is she? Well she wasn't. Adrian can't find her, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I might be coming away, where's her own? If you put that in a sitcom and treat too far-edge. And it's like I've had to introduce him as a character a minute before. Yeah, well this seems mad because we're literally introducing him at this moment in time, then he walks in and I was going to ask him in real life. I think that's a problem with the sitcoms dying is because so many people have put out content about their their th th th th th th th th them th thir thir thir thir thir thir thir thir thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thin thate thin thin theateate the the. If the. If the. If the thin the thin thin thin thin the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin the the the the the to thin to to to to to to the to toe to toe toe toe thin to the the the th. I think that's a problem with the sitcoms dying is because so many people are putting out content about their own lives, which is more weird and funny. Like, maybe that day when the babysit was late and you were downstairs and the delivery guy turned out.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Ah, yeah. Ah, dear. Anyway. So Martin, who... You'd love Martin Rob. Do you know what from the name, Martin and Will growing up, my mom and dad's friends, big up Martina Will, I love the name Martin. His name's actually Ian, but everyone called in Will and I don't know why. What's Martin like? She's a proper fucking Eastender. Is it? Big Arsenal fan. She came to a babysit, She just shoved the football on.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah. And they watched it and then... Was it England or was it just... No, it was Scotland, Switzerland. Oh respect, Martin. And the afternoon game. I can't even remember what that was. What a lie. I might become a babysitter during the Euro next time. Yeah. And then when I got home, 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 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, it it, it, it's th, it's th, it's th, it's th. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like of the Scotland Switzerland game. Yeah, good game then. Yeah, she was like, could you leave a note out for me with the result? Oh Josh, this is your wet dream, is it? I'm believable. Having a kid that's into football wanting to know the result when you was a kid, wouldn't you? Oh yeah. Well was absolutely obsessed by.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I remember doing the, I think I spoke to you about this before doing the, at school the homework was to do a back page of the newspaper with a pun title and a news report of what happened. I had that on video. I got VHS when we beat Holland 4. Oh my God. Oh my God. When sharing, the the the show, the show, the show, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, I was tho, I was tho, I was tho, I was th. I was 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. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. th, I was. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. th. to to to to to to to to to too. too. I'm to told. I was to to to told. I, yeah. I was just talking to Rose because we'd just zoom. Sorry a fun. It's a bit easy. Call him. We've just done our, we had our parents, where he's not parents evening. It was like, we do it. It was an individual meeting with the teacher. Oh, okay, cool. O'er. thus was scheduled for the morning, 9, 10, because they schedule them whenever to fit around everyone. Yeah, yeah. Oh, how was that? Good? Is this for your eldest? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, it was good. Well, you know, just nothing to report really, just good kid, crack it on? Like, do you know when they're positive? You're like, is thisthink it's probably just fine, isn't it? Yeah, she's mentioned the reading? She's not doing enough reading. That's what you're getting stressed about. No, I said, what should we do about this? Because I don't want to stress her out about it. Yeah. And she was like, don't stress her out. Because what my daughter will do, she's got like books that are like her own book at bed rather than us read to her now.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Yeah. And so she just sits in bed and reads, she looks like she's 80. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I know, with a little light on the light. They've got these little IKEA lights that you press it and then my daughter just has it on a chest and the light on the page and just like clicks it off and goes to sleep. So old but I was like well is that's probably just as good right? That's just and she was like yeah that's fine. But anyway my daughter's been reading this aliens book all week and I said to her what's the about and she said no idea. Is it like a fixed story book or one one one one one one one one? 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. th. th. th. th. thi. It's thi. It's like, this is like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, it's just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like, what th. It's like, what th. It's like, what's like, what's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, what's like, what's like, what's like, th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It she said, no idea. Is it like a fixed storybook or one really good ones?
Starting point is 00:24:08 Yeah. So it's 200 pages or whatever. And I was like, so what's it about? Shut, no idea. It doesn't make any sense. She's just been sad. Because obviously you're reading a book that's probably quite high for your reading level, not because she's, like just because that's what she's picked up.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She, she, she, she, she, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, that's a. that's a, a, a. that's a, a, a. that's a. that's a. that's a. that's a. that's probably quite high for your reading level, not because she's like just because that's what she has picked up.
Starting point is 00:24:28 She's tired. She's not taking in a lot of the words because she's doing it on her own. Yeah. If I've read that with her, I'd be exceptain. She must just be reading words going to the words. What is that? What is that's why I, well, I'm not saying it's the same thing, but because of my dyssexia, when I read a novel, I can't retain the information. So I struggle to remember who everyone is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Well, I loved Adrian being introduced and already doing a joke. That was great in a sitcom for me. You've written in a sitcom for me. You've written in that with films. I know this would be a revolutionary thing that they shouldn't do. You know they give them character names rather than actor name? Because obviously I know everyone as an actor. And so, say you've got Brad Pitt in it, and then he's mentioned another scene and they say, who did the crime? It was Michael. And I'll be thinking, who was Michael? I just think it'd be easier if if the the the the the the the the the the the revolutionary, if the th the revolutionary, if the th th th th who did the crime? It was Michael and I'll be thinking, who was Michael? Yeah. I just think it'd be easier if all of the characters just use their actor names at all times. Yeah. Because then you'd go... Oh, it's Brad Pitt. It's Brad Pitt. Right, okay, it makes
Starting point is 00:25:35 sense. I didn't know it was called Michael. She's only been called Brad Pitt for the last 30 years of my life. Mate, when I watched face off, yeah. Where it's Nicholas, Case and John from Travolta when they swat faces, yeah. Weirdly, it was so complicated that I actually made sense. Because I've got it wrong, but then I've got it wrong in a good way, like that will do for me. Who's that? actual lives now as well.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Art imitating life. Oh, I gotta tell this, this is living in the countryside. I had an absolute nightmare the other night, Josh. I was working in town, I got dropped off back at Petswood train station, okay? Because that's why I'd part my car early in the day, I get my hair cut, I cut, shout out, Miller's hair. Anyway, I got jumped off there and I went about half-nine at night and Lou was at the theater in Bromley. So I went, okay, I'll pick you up from the theater. Oh, she watched. So I drove to Bromley.
Starting point is 00:26:33 She went and saw some sort of drag to th. show or something? I don't know what. Seriously, what was she watching? That is some that I don't know what it was or what was going on and anyway so she was doing that. So I got there I got there about now I was there 10 minutes before she come out so I was waiting for a bit. So then it's sort of half an hour but it's from that's only that's only 20 minutes from then where I am at the moment they're doing like gas works yeah and there's a couple of road shuts there's loads of traffic he really backs up but a night is fine so it's yeah traffic lights but you just get for it anyway I got to where there's only traffic lights water there. It was just like bursting out
Starting point is 00:27:25 the ground in about 50 years. Was it like something you'd see in New York in the summer? Yeah, yeah, they smashed it open and the kids are like, yeah. It was like, I was going through some sort of like theme park, water ride. And it was like at one point I was getting stuck in a flood. Anyway, so I followed diversion, right. it diverts me all the way around these country lanes and there's loads of lorries and cars coming past me because they've been diverted off the main road. I want it for 20 minutes, right? So at this point we're looking at about 20 past 10, half 10, right? Divers me, diverts me, diverts me, diverse me, up 20 minutes, I go around these country lanes to come back out. The same fucking rough. A diversion took me around, right? All this way. So it gets about our same point of the same road.
Starting point is 00:28:07 No, another entry point, but about 10 meters up to get back on that road to come back there. I was like, you are fucking winding me up. Right? Because really what I needed to do was a U-turn, but I don't think they're allowed to tell you to you turn. Yeah, yeah. So they get around there, then another 20 minutes, then I get stuck in an intersection where the fucking blade runners are cut down all the lampposts again and like, yeah. Because where I live now it's on the border of London, Kent and they're living about ULES because they're having to pay like, they're having to pay like, their 15 quay- to- their like, like, like, like, like, like, to their, to their, to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to-so, to-so, to-so, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, their, cut, their, their, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut's, cut, cut... their. th. th. tha, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, to, cut, to, cut, cut, thuh, cut, cut, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, cut, they cut it down every six months they never have to pay it so there's his nutcases that are cutting. And how does that affect apart from ULES what else is on that lamppost so they'll cut down a lamp post that's got the traffic lights on the ulaz camera but then when that's down all the traffic lights they've been spray-painted them and stuff.
Starting point is 00:29:05 They've been spray-painting with the St. George's Cross recently. Sort of just an unnecessary level of patriotism, isn't it, really? Just, can't you just? Does it matter? Anyway, but they were using like a reddy orange spray paint for a bit, and I think they don we need to pick another color. Are awake it? What's the awake here? We're going into it but just the boy? Anyway so I get trapped to its intersection it's basically like dyft in with death because there's no lights to stop anyone so that we went that way
Starting point is 00:29:40 and eventually I got him at 11 p.m. to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the to to to the to the to to the to the the the the to the the to 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.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m.m. their. their. I. I's. I's. I's. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. to. to. I's. to. I. to. I. to. I's. I'm. the from my house and I got home at 11 p.m. Josh. You know what you need to do? Move to the city? And Lou was drunk but you know when someone's drunk but like a true. But you know when someone's drunk but you know when someone's drunk. they're a thrown. Like, they're a bit drunk, you have a laugh, should we stop and get some food on the way, oh yeah, then sometimes like, for fucks, yes, yes, I know, you said it the third diversion. And because she was drunk, was she aware of all the diversions and stuff? She was helping, but then, because she was pissed. She was like, yeah, you sure? She's like, yeah, I'm like, I can't trust her. th her. th her. th her. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

She's, th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they's, they's, they. they. thi. they. thi. thi. they. thi. thi. they. the diversion is. I'm like, you sure? She's like, yeah, I'm like, I can't trust her on that diversion, because she's definitely pissed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:29 So then I'd have to go back and check and I was like, oh yeah, I don't think that is the dog. She was like, oh, sorry, but I'm sorry. But that, just only because I don't think you mean it. You're just try to, you're allowed to be angry sometimes, John. I'm fine. I am angry at things. Well, it's so annoys you. What grinds your gears now that you're, you're mentally stable? A lot of things. bomb site. Yeah I know and it's doing my nut. Yeah but that's your mess isn't it? Yeah that's why it annoys me. I'm so angry at yourself not for other people's mess. Oh yeah yeah yeah all angers at yourself really Rob. Oh here he goes.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Here we go. Gandhi's turned up again for a fucking tune work. I know it is and I know it's true. That's the thing you said that that my favorite thing you ever ever ever said you ever said you ever said you ever 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. 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.

Yeah it's like it's great to be Zen but there's something worse being near someone that is Zen. Yeah I'd stand by that. Yeah it's so true isn't it. It really is. If you're it's not. It's the diversions and the water works and the gas pipes. Yes. And the no traffic rights. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I have got something that has annoyed me Rob. Go on. I've got high, not too bad. High cholesterol. How have you? How do you get high cholesterol? It's so unfair. I've googled what leads to high cholesterol and what you need to do to stop high cholesterol. Right, okay. I'm living a low cholesterol lifestyle with none of the benefits. But you've still got high cholesterol? Yeah, you know I had
Starting point is 00:32:12 the blood test. So that was just general MOT stuff and they were like, everything's good but your cholesterol is a bit high. So how do you get high cholesterol? Right, okay. So told me through those things that I don't do. Right, okay, so till we through those things. Alcohol. Right, yep. Red meat. Yep. Lots of pastries, biscuits, fatty foods.

Starting point is 00:33:12 so she used to have that as a kid. But actually I prefer it to butter. I find butter too much. So do you think it can't just be that on one slice of toast today I have 10 grams of butter. I think that's it. It's not. You're having that every day. Oh. Oh brother. Oh brother. Brother. Brother. Brother. Brother. I'd say having buttered toast every morning. Well I'd say having buttered toast every morning. Well, I don't have buttering the toast every morning.

I might have a cholesterol. I've not had a the moat. That's classic, like, cool London vibes, going out and get a pastry.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I enjoy a pastry, but I don't actually... What did I say the pastry? Oh, fuck, haven't done the builder's parking? Oh, shit! Oh, oh!

Starting point is 00:34:48 No, I'm angry at myself. And the council. Isn't it easier an e-voucher than a paper one's put in? No, because at a paper one, you just give them all to Adrian at the start of the week. Here, he's got to every day, say to me, can you put my car? Oh, for fuck sake. So when I was in London, I used to get these little cards from the council that used to scratch off on the day and time, like a scratch card. Yeah, so that's what we had until maybe a year ago. Yeah, now it's all heatcher, so he will have got a ticket. Well he might not of. Oh, for fuck sake, you fucking idiot. So what, hang on, we don't work? Say what you're just doing your fucking admin now, are you?
Starting point is 00:35:31 I'm done it. You couldn't do that if he's on the tiller marks and spensers or something. Get you ready in the game, mate. Now of course I couldn't. Fucking L, fuck off, fucksake, fucking L. BEEP, fucking shit fuck, beep, fucking out, I've not done the builder's parking! Excuse me, Josh, can we have a word? Sorry about that, man. Do you want to go check? Do you want to go check, live check on the pod?
Starting point is 00:35:57 I'll tell you in the next episode, because I don't know if you get a ticket or if you just get a letter through the post. Oh Josh, that's got you, isn't it? Oh, 60 quid. Just think of it though. Would you have paid 60 pound for someone to tell you your aid yet? It just needed to be turned the other way? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. So just file it under that. Oh, I've just dropped my keys. gone, man. My head's fucking gone. Tell me some more about parenting. We're going to see Taylor Swift tonight. Are you? We're going to August.

Well, I have a blue house, who's absolutely obsessed. So, but it's exciting to go and'm not in a sitcom insane. That was Adrian, it's just gone out to his car and found out that there's a ticket on it.
Starting point is 00:38:13 That was a square bleeper. Baby, no, I think I'll love it. I think it's gonna, do you know what, and this sounds a bit cretious? It's like a very exciting moment in time. To people that love Taylor Swift, love her on a level that I don't really comprehend. Yeah. And to be surrounded with that much energy in the stadium will be electric and amazing. It'll be amazing.
