My favorite is like crunching up cornflakes, but it's like having dessert. Exactly. It's mad, is it so bad. Ricicles for breakfast. What was I thinking for all those years? Oh, clusters. Oh, I love a clustuctor. I love nuts. I love nuts. I love nuts and sugar-clo Oh, oh. I don't mind the old yogurt covered raisin either, to be honest. Do you like a yogurt covered raisin?

I have a little yogurt covered raisin. I used to think they were healthy. But it's bad for you really. It's not a lot of sugar. It's not good yogurt, is it that? Nature's sugar, the grape. Prepe, the grape. People always slag off grapes, don't they? Like, guys, so much sugar, I'm like, leave it out, mate. Ain't Skittles, give me a break. Come on, it's gotta be...

Are grapes good for you? Should I google that? No, fuck it. Yeah, google that and I'll ask you a question, why the question, thrown it is. What's your favorite breakfast cereal? banana. It's a rice crispy but covered in the stuff frosties are covered in. In lockdown I got in a real funk of just scooping in a spoonful of Nutella into my cereal whatever it was with milk. Did you? And it was not good. Oh riceicles, yeah I know it. I know it. Look at these crisps I got yesterday Rob.

What are they? I took a photo to put on Instagram. Yeah. Busy day of content was it for you? Well, it was that's why I've held it back for today, Rob. I just don't think you can get away with this for a copyright point of view. Monster Claws and they are near enough exactly the same shape as Monster Munch. They're purple packet, pickled onion flavor. And look at the other one I got. And it's all the same kind, Snack Right with an R. They've spelt all that wrong. Look at these ones. Tiles for squares?

No. They're fucking mental, isn't it? Tiles is a piss tile, I eat a square. Yeah, you've gotta come up with a better replacement for squares and tiles, haven't you? Snide crisps. Yeah, you've got to stick that up on the Instagram. Yeah, I'll put that on my Instagram. Look at that. The red on that per bag, 4.9 grams of fat.

I look at that now. How's your fitness going, Josh. eating healthy? I much prefer running to doing the gym. What, the weights? You don't like the weights? My problem with the weights is I just end up checking my phone too much. What, like, because there's downtime in between? Yeah. I'm not very good at rest in between each set. All right, Arnold Schwarzenegger. No, but like, I want to get it over and done with but then I actually can't do the next set properly. What I need to to to to to to to to the to the to the to the the to their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. th. th. to th. th.

What I need to do is write down what I'm going to do. And then go in without my phone. Because at the moment you're putting it into an app, aren't you? On the phone, of what you're doing? Because we've got the same trainer guy.

Yeah, we're both a midlife crisis. Yeah? I tell you what is a midlife crisis, the vest I've bought for holiday. I haven't bought a best. Have you not? But the problem even if I got nice arms through doing like, bicep curls, they're all hairy, like an old dad. Big old hairy dad arms. I'm just getting a call from Ewan Shore. Can I just tell them I'll call them back in a minute? Are you insure? Hey, could you call me back in about 15 minutes? Sticker one speaker, what do you want to know? All right, cheers. Bye. Who's you in? No, you insured.

Oh! It's my house insurance. I've got to renew my house insurance. But I've got to do it over the phone and they were like, oh here we fucking go. Oh, here we go, trousers and pants down, say what you want. You'll be in a daily mail headline. You want me to just read my fucking card numbers down the phone. You want to tell way to do it. I'll drive down mate. No, you can't. No, I get stressed about that all the time to be honest.

Please tell Nick to message me with the date for've wanted this a long time, Nick. We have wanted it a long time. I think it was a cast as a countdown where we said that we should do this. So yeah, and thank you for having me. And I have to say, first off, my wife, Becca is a huge, huge fan of the show. Hello, Becca. Really, like got her through lockdown. Yeah. And so yeah, big shout out to her. She's upstairs and then, but yeah. And is she giving you any kind of steers on what to do? You said the thing is everyone on it is really funny so I think you're gonna struggle. She's gonna be like, no everyone's prepared it sounds like really off the cast and brilliant so I am I am a little bit nervous. Oh no, we've had some real dog shit on here Nick. Don't worry. Okay good worry. Really? Okay, good, good. Well, I look forward to whatever comes. But she's a huge fan of the show. As a moment, Oh, well, shout out to Becker. But I got to it later. But yeah, huge shout.

You don't have to pretend that you listened, Nick, because we know you don't. I don't think any comedians should listen. No. to to to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to listen. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to what to to what to to what to what to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the show. the the the the the the show. the the show. the the the the show. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the show. the show. the show. the was because Becca was... So how many kids have you and Becca got, Nick, set the scene? We've got three. We've got three. So we've got the two boys, Fin and Arthur, who are eight and six, and then Annie is one. So we did a proper kind of manual reset. Because she loved the pod so much. Is that what you call sex a manual reset? Manual reset? Yeah. Becker, fancy a manual reset? Because I've got a six and eight year old and and then yeah having a one year old on top of that I think would be hard. If you both got two? Yeah. Josh's are a bit younger. So six and two or three? So I could still do a manual reset. Yesterday, I was woken by the cat. the today th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah. th. Yeah. th. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah............................................. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. Yeah. I the. at 515 in the morning and I didn't get back to sleep. Right. And I was exhausted all day and I was like, fuck, this is how I used to live.

Yeah. Oh yeah. And I was like, I can't imagine this now. So how was it to go back? It's so difficult to know objectively whether it's just because Annie is, and you know, Finn and Arthur is such a delight, but you know, Annie as a baby is such a delight, not that it makes it easy, but she is a delight, or whether it's just that we're more used to because we've already had two kids. But the fact that I feel like going from one to two

to two is a hundred percent different, Yeah. But going two to three just didn't feel. I mean, even though it was literally Arthur had just started school and Beck was like, all a third. I don't know. She didn't say it like that. No, no. But like we were like, so we have a third if we're going to do it, we should probably do it now. So it was quite a bit of a personal question. How quickly after that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the question? that that that that that that that the that that that that that that the that that that that was that was that that that was that that that that that that the the the that th. that th. that was th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. to. thi. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. you said we've got to do it now, was it up we go? Look, we have been very lucky it was you know in terms of conceiving and stuff and you know it was within 40 seconds natural. It was in a couple of months or so really lucky yeah yeah Beck is one or three and so we were like, the bec, we've gone back to work and we were like but if we are going to do it she wanted to do before she was 40 before before before before before before before before before before before before before before she was 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40, to be, to be, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, well, well, well, well, to, well, to, well, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, th. thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, the, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to three. And so we were like, Beck had gone back to work and we were like, but if we are gonna do it, she wanted to do before she was 40 and blah blah,

you know, so we were just like, oh you know, well, why not? It can't be any more chaotic. Turns out it's a lot more chaotic. But not as chaos, but not as chaos, because Finn and after we're all, we're we and we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, they, they, they, they, they, th, th, th, th, well, to, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, th, th, t, t, to, t... to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, we, and, and, and, to, and, to, to, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, bit like, oh wow, we're really sort of starting from scratch again, because Finn and Arthur, well, they were seven and five when Annie was born, like they, they, I mean, they adore her so much. They entertain her, they help, you know, they have done so many kind of,

they have done so many kind of brilliant things to kind of make it a lot easier. So yeah, we're we we we we we we're they, we're they, we're they, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're very, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, thin, to, to, thin, thin, thin, thin, that, it doesn't feel like she's treading on their turf as much or does it? Yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, fit enough that they share a room. I mean, they adore each other as well. They've got a very special bond because they're only 20 months apart in age actually. So they're close to an age. So they're close to an age and they're they're they're they're close. And they're close. And to. They're close. They're to to to to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to age. They're to they. They're they're to to age. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. They're close. 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 their. They're their. They're close. They're close. to they're close. to to their to their to their thea. they're close. they're close. they're close. to they're close. they're close. they're close. they're close. they obviously did like those quite formative years in lockdown together as well. I mean you know they have their moments when they really kind of argue but they're quite a unit and only just recently now that Annie's sort of tottering around and sort of grabbing stuff you know if they're doing whatever Lego or a jigsaw if Annie's in the room we're suddenly like oh careful because I need you know or if I ne grabs something we just let her have it and if I whenever she does want that we can't really do anything about it and that kind of imperious them a little bit so like well how are we meant to you know build the whatever but you know

broadly though they just get on with it and they adore they're like my two girls that are the same age gap sort of like they're bang on two years apart they they their 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 they're they're they're they're 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 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 th I I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I the the tha tha tha try try try try try try the tha tha tha tha tha th and they were like, it's like, how old were they been? There were like three and five or, yeah, but between two and a half and five and a half and and just at the age where they're sort of big enough to properly play and get rough with each other and and they were mental. It was like twothere will be sort of sippings maybe they've got a slightly closer bond because it was just them two for two years and no one else you know completely I mean I think the whole I mean you know like we'll learn about the after effects of COVID for years and years and years like in terms of like what it's done to like things like that lia like special bonds between kids they've so they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they they've they're they're thin and thin thin thin they they they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thin th thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin thin the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the sort of four and two or five and three or whatever, you know, as we were going into lockdown. We had just moved, I've lived in London since like 2005 or whatever, but you know, how it

is and it's London. And you know, the big prefix to all this is personal problems and we're very, very lucky, but we had just then in 2019, we just managed to afford to buy a place in London and it was a little flat. We're in Richmond, which is really nice, but it was a little flat. And you know, to the degree, not, it was 70 square meters and we had two very energetic boys. So our neighbors downstairs hated, like, hated us with an absolute passion. Like, we don't live there anymore now, so I'm quite happy to sort of speak about it. But they were insane. Like they were, there were two sisters who ran like this sort of Christian clothing business from their home. I don't know what that means. But that was what they did. That was lot of dog collars. Huge business. I think by all accounts,

what they did was they imported clothes and then sort of not quite sort of so crucifix it into the blind, they sort of jazzed them up a little bit and then sold them to Christians it was very odd. But that genuinely I'm not, it feels like I'm sort of saying it or having a pop that is just what their business model was. But anyway they were downstairs and they were like they were in like their 20s and you know their dad their dad 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 down. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they were 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 they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to they're they're they're to 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 had bought them their flat, which we knew. And like, so you're automatically going, fuck them, let's play jumpy. Literally, I'm not making this up. When we first moved in and there's like boxes everywhere, Finn and Arthur like, you know,

four and two or whatever, they like knocked on the door, they handed us the lease and they were like, I'll just see, you know, you've you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the, the, the, the, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, that, the, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, th...... th. th.

That was her opening gambit and then they proceeded to give Arthur who was like literally to an example of how he needed to walk in the house and Arthur were just like that. What was the walk? Oh it was sort of like this sort of tiptoey sort of sort of almost like you're on high heels but really tiptoey sort of delicate walk that wouldn't affect the lives in any way like a kind like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like a kind kind like like like like like a kind kind kind like like a kind kind kind like like like a kind kind kind like a kind. like a kind. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to. to. to. I. I. I. I. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the toe. to kind of offensive mincing from the 80s, like a kind of... Oh, like, yes, the daintiest little walk across the room. And like, our mistake was, because we wanted, like, we were also aware that, oh, okay, well, we don't want to sort of get on, like,

bad term. So we try to do everything. We literally had the floor like insulation like sound like like acoustic insulation like put in just a... I know you would as well you want on the nicest people I've ever met theyk so you would be like okay fair enough let's try. And who lived there before you? Well the people who sold us the flat they apparently they used to own like both those flats and so they actually sold the ground floor to this to these two I went to say........ I. I. I was the the ground. I was the ground. the ground. the ground. the ground. the ground. I was the ground. to to to to the ground. the ground. to the ground. the ground. the ground. their. their. they they they they they were their their they were they were they were. they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. So. So. So. they were. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. they. So. So. their. So. they. they. they. their. their. they. their. th. they. they. they. th. th. they were actually. th. th. So. th. So, they were actually. they were actually actually. they were actually. they were actually. they were actually. they. So, they were. So saying the names and then they sold as their other one and they didn't let on a tool they didn't tell us at this is probably going to be an issue because they haven't had the floor even done and they were like oh quack it and then of course we went into lockdown and theyreau this is going to be the to be really really really really really really really really really really really really 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 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 oh oh oh oh oh oh, no garden. So, oh my God. Again, we were so fortunate. Yeah,

we got to get the park, like nearby and have wandered around. And it was obviously absolutely fun. But there was just an element of like, oh, cricky. Because you know, they would do insane things. Like, they would come up at like five in workers from our afternoon now. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. My God, their two parents. But also the idea that they were Christians as well and that was like, like part of their business, like literally on the packaging of their parcels. They had like a quote from John Chapter or whatever about,

literally, it wasn't quite love by name it, but it was something of the ilk. something of the ilk. And it was like... Where is your forgiveness? Where is this famous forgiveness guys? They were absolutely sort of phenomenal characters. Can I ask a question about them? I know it's not about them. Yeah, no it should. Were the two sisters napping at the same time? Oh I don't know. They told us so many insane things. I think they shared a bet, by the way. And there's nothing wrong with that, but they were they were they were they were they were they were they were their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their th. Were thi. Were thi. Were thi. Were thi. Were thi. thi. 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. the. the. the. the. they were their. their. their. their. their. the. they were they were the. they were. they were. they were ld us so many insane things I think they shared a bet by the way and there's nothing wrong with that but they weren't short on space it's just they could have had separate rooms because I went into their flat because they said can you come in and we'll show you how loud it is so I kind of got the kids so I kind of jumping down whilst I was so they they just had like a. They just had like a thrown like their 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 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 they they they they they they they they they to to to to to to to to try try took took to took to to try to to to to to they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to try and sort of keep up with where the kids are. And I was like, well, don't do that. Because they're, you know, they're in one room and out within 30 seconds. By the time you've moved your best.

I'm moving their bed to avoid where the kids are. This is a two-year-old. It's like, it's like, the second series of intelligence and stuff like we're doing our best, but we can't do anything else, we can't take them out, we can't take them out. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna tie them up. We're in the morning, we'll stop from making noise and obviously they get a bed at like seven and you know We're doing like wine down from my five o'clock

So it shouldn't be mad. So they're not up late. Yeah, yeah, and you know We weren't having like wild parties or anything like that like you know Even out of lockdown, you know, we're just not those kinds of people so I don't know that that that? That was our kind apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently apparently 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 how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how how. you were in their house, when they took you down to test, were you like this is what I expected or? Well, yeah, but I was also like, yeah, it's loud. But it's also like, it's not like loud, their sort of like, thinne. It's not like, oh, no one can put sort of their sort of like, sort of like, thi to the thoo. It's loud. It's all. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's loud. It's loud. It's loud. It's loud. It's loud.

They even had on the door, like the outer door to get into the communal bits, and we'd go up the stairs.

They even had written on the door, the outer door, please close quietly and quietly it was in like massive. Oh my God. Oh, and we didn't want to kind of I say, the big thing, we're very lucky and we've survived lockdown and we're, you know, we're lucky to have a roof over. I'd be constant, it's only when you're trapped in. It's bad enough when you're not locked in, but when you're locked in and they're like. They're obviously other stuff was going in for them. It wasn't just about the kids' noise. Oh, quite. Everyone was going the right thing. So, so. So, so. So, th. So, th. So, th. th. that. that. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's, that's to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their thoo. have said to him have you thought about finding faith? This could maybe calm you find a sense of a great purpose in

life? Oh God can you imagine? I mean I was so because we were in constant like quite sort of fraught email exchanges with them and the other people who were in the flats because everyone you know not that anyone else had so what level were you on? Okay so there's a lower ground that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the it too? Okay, so there's a lower ground, which was owned by lovely Maureen, but who was better in the 90s and was about to go in at home. Right. And so she couldn't hear anything. Then it was this couple who were on the ground floor who were complaining.

And then we were the floor above their floor above. And then there was a couple, like young professional, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a young professional, a young, a young, a young, a young, a young, a couple, and a couple, a young, a young, a young, and a young, and a young, and a young, and a young, and a young, and a young, and a young, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, and a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a young professional, a young professional, a couple, a young, a couple, a young, a young, a couple, a couple, a young, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple, a couple like we're in a flat of course we're people moving around and actually the complaining people they they had not actually had their floor roofing done in accordance with the least because they said oh well it's not a problem because Maureen can't hear oh bastards yeah yeah she can't because she's 90 now she's in her home yeah so you were writing intelligent series two at that point yeah is at points when you're on set on set 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're they're they're 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 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 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 series two at that point. Is there points when you're on set with David Schwimmer, who must be, you know, one of the most successful people of the last 30 years in television and you're going, I'm having a nightmare with these people downstairs? I don't think I told him about it. And would he relate to stuff like that?

How does it work when someone's that like... I'll compete. You probably can't even see his neighbors can it? I mean, first of all, he's a gorgeous, wonderful man. And there was obviously a time when I was literally like pinching myself, like, oh my god, this is nuts. Literally what is going on. Reading the lines the lines thi lines thi lines thi lines thi lines thi lines thi lines the lines thi lines the lines thi lines thi lines the lines thi lines thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thuui emer, like this is this is not but literally what is going on. Reading the lines that you've written. He is so humble, so lovely, so sort of gentlemanly, generous like certainly by the time we were doing series too. I mean it is

weird he's literally just amazed like you know we just text and catch up when you know he's here or if I've gone to new it so it is it is odd. I mean when I I haven't been to New York many times and I've only been twice but when we went he literally just took me to a coffee shop in New York and in my head. I'm like is it central to put it on? Like is it? It's not like. It's not that comfort show isn't it? You know, you can just have it on and you know, it's pretty suitable for the kids to watch. I mean, they haven't really sort of seen much of it, but like all that stuff is completely surreal, but he is, it's a sestimony to how nice he is. Would you talk about friends? Occasion? I mean, there was one bit when the thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is thing is if he ever mentioned friends, I almost had like a panic attack because I would just sort of remind me of like he was talking to it. Yeah, yeah. So you mention it, it was like the fact that he'd had that experience was

but I think how best the phrase is like what's so incredible is that he just he just normalized it and I guess to a degree when he got in friends he didn't know at the point the level of success it was kind of like Yeah 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi he he he thi he he thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. he the. he he the. he thee. he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he at the point the like the level of success it was kind of like yeah of course gonna become and not for a second suggesting that me and him are on a similar kind of playing field on the success of Ted Lassow is the same success of friends but there was a point when I was kind of going through the headlassow thing yeah and it was getting really big and it was like yeah because that that wasn't expected was it? I mean obviously you hope but it's not like... Well you hope sort of but also we're so inclined I think as Brits and maybe particularly from you know when you kind of cut your teeth through doing live stuff we're so kind of inclined to we think oh audiences are gonna show up

the reviews will be mixed yeah we had a bad mile that didn't work or this you know Edinburgh you just develop such a thick skin and to a degree you're to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the the the to the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that's that's that's that's that's that's the. I. I the. I's the. I's the. I I's the. I I's the. I I's is is the. I I I's is. I's is the. I I I's is. I's is. I I's is. I's. I's. I's. the. the. the. that's. that's that's that's that's that's the. that's the. that's that's the. the. that's that's that's the. the. the. the. that's the. the. that's that's thin. that's that's the just develop such a thick skin. And to a degree, you're quite well prepared for when things don't go well. Yeah, because there is quite a good support network because everyone's been through it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd say it's what's expected. It's rare that something is a hit. It is so expected and it is so the's right as well, because you should never kind of A to do something assuming it's going to be a hit. And I think part of this you was actually because the first series came out in lockdown. And actually we were very sheltered from the success of it because A, it was a bit of sleep in the UK because not as many people had Apple. Because not as many people had Appled. to the today. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to do so so so to do so to do something something something something. And to do something something something something something, to do something something to do to do some some some some some some some some some some some some people, to to to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do. And to do. And to do. And to do to do. And to do. And to do. And to do. And to do. And to do. And to to to do. And to to to to to to to to the the to do something. And the to the the to do something. And so. And so, the the to the the the to some some. So, to to some some some some. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. were then going to the states to do press or marketing or anything because of lockdown. So there was no travel.

So we do the occasional thing on Zoom. So by the time it got to like, I don't know, the Emmys, where we kind of went out and we were all suddenly like nominated. We were like, well, like, what is going to season. What is going on? and were like, oh my God. And so by the time we were doing season two and I was doing season two of intelligence, I talked to David a little bit about that because suddenly we were doing sort of similar things in terms of suddenly having like,

like just that whole world of like PR and stuff that I'd never really been trivy to, like before. I remember I was there for that first one time I'd that for that for that for that for that first one. And that was the first time I'd ever been to America. I'd never even been there on holiday. So I was like, absolute rabbi in head like, I hadn't overflown like long hauled in like 15 years or something. So it was just so the real. And I remember being that there. And from what I understand,

because obviously I'm not been to one before or many since. I I I I I've only only only the the the the the the the the they. I I I I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I'm. I've only. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. 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 the th. I've th. I'm th. I'm not th. th. th. to th. to to the to to to the told told. long long long long long to toed. told. Long to to assar. Like that particular Emmy's when it was quite COVID-y still was very low-key and actually there was no plus ones it was all there was no audience. It was just it was very you know if you've been nominated you were there and that was sort of it really. And I remember being sat there with them. Can you remember Phoe B? Walsh? Who used to be in the sketch group oyster? Probably when we were up in Edith, stuff like that. We've tasks, Dmitriya, Phil Dunning. BB, like, Wright's, has been writing on Ted Latsyfer and she's brilliant, like brilliant performer, but also a phenomenal writer. And we were just sort of literally sat there.

We kind of couldn't believe it, because we were just like it still sort of is it's kind of ingrained to us I think because we've done it for so long. When something kind of hits you out the blue like that you just can't really deal with it and we were just sort of like we just didn't know I was so jet lag as well but it was obviously a privilege and phenomenal. And were you going from there to creeping around your house when you got home because the people??. the people?. the people. the people. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the the. the. the. the the thean. thean. thean. to. to. thean. the. the. the. th. the to. to creeping around your house when you got home because of the people, like was that the same time? Yeah. Yeah, we only moved last year. So yeah, very much so. Because you get nominated for two years in a row was it for best support in actor? Yeah, in a comedy. So have you been twice then or was one at home because of lockdown? I've been three times now so I didn't get nominated? to be nominated. And so I went over over tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw tw to be to be to be the to be to be to be to be to be their to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to to 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. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. their. their. their. their. to be nominated. to be nominated. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. We. We. We the the the the th. now so I didn't get nominated last year but the show got nominated and so I went over last year and then you have two times I was nominated so and

again such a privilege in a nominee and not Nick what went wrong last year? I'd love it and not that it should have made any difference to kind of that situation but I wonder if they'd ever seen anything in those years I'd that the thinne. I wonder if they'd ever seen their their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd their their their th. thi thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd their their their their their their their their their their thi. So I'd thi. So I'd thi. So I'd thi. So I'd thi. So I'd thi. I'd th. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi. I'd thi should have made any difference to kind of that situation. But I wonder if they'd ever seen anything I was in. I don't think they have. Yeah, that's interesting. But I quite like the idea. I'd love the idea of them listening to this. Can you imagine? Oh, hardly? Great. Also, you know, you pop up in so many things. Did they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they 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 that. that that. that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they they they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd their their th. they didn't. No, they didn't. And they never implied that they sort of, you know, knew that I would work to an entertainment or anything like that. So I don't know. You walk in a very quiet way on Ted Lassow, don't you? Could you bring that to the house? You're not stomping around the stage at the Emmy. You know that would have to be at home. But also, the sort of the triple whammy of it all,

was also that we were living in Richmond. And you know, we'd moved to Richmond in 2014 way before Ted Lassow. And then also now, and even now after the show has finished, you know, the after effect of like, you still see sort of those locations yeah but when we were living there and especially when it was still still filming it was mad because I'd go for like just go to a supermarket where you kind of go for a jog or something and it looked like I was sort of doing it deliberately but it was like oh no no

no just live here but it was yeah I'm hanging around Steve Kugan just wandering quite yeah exactly yeah on that and I'd be interesting your take on this as well Rob so do you the th 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 th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the thin that 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. I the thi thi the the the the the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the the the and I'd be interested in your take on this as well, Rob. So do you, and with say something like Ted Lassow, and you don't know if you're in something big, and so Rob say Rob and Romish or me with the last leg or whatever. Yeah, not that they're as big as Ted Lassow, but they're not their as big as Ted Lassow, they're probably are over here though, right? Because Ted Lasso is sort of still people have seen it over here, and it's still a bit of a sleeper here. I wouldn't say it's got like, I would say more people would have seen. Well, we'll all go out to get,

we'll all go out together, Nick, and we'll get a survey. But what I wanted to ask is with David Schwimmer, so I would still to to to default to default to default to default to default, to default, to default, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be 'd say, if someone said, what are you up to tonight, if it was a stranger, I wouldn't say, I'm doing the last leg, I'd say I'm doing a show I do for Channel 4. Completely, yeah. Would you do the same role? Yeah, no, if someone's got like no idea, I'm just working or whatever,

but for David Schumermer I imagine. Yeah and I'd still say hi I'm Josh whereas would David Swimmer say hi I'm David and would he say I was in this show? Absolutely. Yeah before people say Ross. I think he would. There was a really great moment when I remember we did the first it wasn't even the official read through of like the first series of intelligence but we were doing like like a workshop you won like I'd only like written three episodes at the time, but I remember John Montague, like lovely commissioner at Sky now Netflix, John Montague, who like commissioned the show with Morena,

he was at the readthrough. And it's quite, it's relatively informal. And afterwards he went up to David, and they sort of like were like chatting and then John said really po'face and like credit to him he said so have you done like much sort of like sitcom stuff before then and David I think did genuinely have a moment of like oh maybe maybe he doesn't he doesn't but obviously then John was like oh no no obviously obviously I don't think anyone and Jason Sakers is the same you know that they're so gentlemanly humble kind that he would never presume and they were always always always always 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 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 just just the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're their their their they're their their their they're they're their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they their the same, you know, they're so gentlemanly, humble, kind, genuend. He would never presume, and they were always just kind and unassuming, I think. Film in Ted Lasson, Richmond, there must have been a right touch because the worst part

of being an actor, and you have your touring show as well, Mr. Swallow is being away from home. And location, Richmond's, like, you've got to be there at 9 a.m you can leave her house about half 8 20 to 9 and just wander down and still be present as a dad. Oh God yeah I mean and that that you know that look that is still really tough and credit to Becca I cannot praise her and I mean she is phenomenal. You know she's listening you know she's listening but also it's not just the fact that she is a phenomenal human, like literally a superhuman, incredible mom and wife, but she is, it's just this ability to sort of deal with, because in this, you know, industry, it can be, you know, the levels of predictability, I guess, when you're on a job and you kind of know sort of short-term, roughly what your hours will be, their, the, th.......... So, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-s, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, th. And, th. And, the, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr. And, thr. It, thr. It's, thri. It's, thri. It's, thri. It's, thri. It's, thr. It's, the like that. But there is also a huge element of unpredictability and that's no one's fault but the choice of me to be in this, you know, in industry and the way sort of she deals with it and allows the kids to sort of see the positives

of it and you know, because it can affect the kids, you know, if I'm away and particularly know I have been relatively lucky in that a lot of the stuff I've done you know and so that it was a real one off in that regard something to shoot so close to home but even intelligence was filmed with Tukedom Studios which is like 10 minutes away from Richmond you know so that that was that was a blessing but you know I filmed a little bit in Germany and a little bit recently in Germany but mostly it's been in London but even so the hours can be 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 be to be to be to be the to be the to be the the to be their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I their. I the the their. I the the the their. I I their. I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the their. their. I I I I I I I the the the the the their. I their. I. I. I. I was. I'm the the th. I'm to be toe. I'm. I'm. I'm. te. toe. toe. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm to to to the the the the the's been in London, but even so, the hours can be manic and Becca's still having to do like 99.9999% of like the parenting and child care and then occasionally I'll show up just as they're about to be settled and probably on the cusp and I wind them up something right I don't want to sort of pick around. How does bed time with three work? We've made such a rod for our own back. I then, I, and th and th and th and th. I, I, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, and thi, thick, thick, th, th, the, the, thick, the, and, the, and, and, and, 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, the, the, the, the, the, theck, theck, theck is theck is theck is theck is theck is theck is theck is theck is the around. How does bedtime with three work?

We've made such a rod from our own back. I think when Becker was first pregnant, we were like, we had friends of ours who had had had tried if they'd had their baby, they must have, they'd had their baby. And they were doing, and you know, not to cast any judgment on how people I think this is the Gina Ford book where I mean it's quite regimented and you know but they were like they swore by it because they said yeah it's sort of hell for like a week but then actually you know the baby

gets used to it and then you get full night sleep and then you're all better as a parent and stuff like that we have never managed it like we once tried to do like a cry out thing 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 I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I think we think we last think we last think we last think we last think we last think we think we think we last think we last th th th th th th th th. I th. I th. I they last last last last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last they last 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. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi think we last we last we last we last we last think we last think we last think we last think we last think we last think we last think we last I think we last I think we last I think we last I think we last I think we last I th, this is no, no, we can't. But we have gone so far the other way. It looks to be those neighbors. Even more evil complain about that one. We found it so funny, the idea of Becker, I mean, she was pregnant when we were still in the flat, but not sort of showing, and we liked the idea of being heavily pregnant, and just keep on walking past the the's going to be a newborn in the flat as well. That didn't happen because we moved before them.

But now it's like, I mean, we're slightly in denial of the fact that like, we still think that they should all be going to sleep at seven. But obviously that's just not, I mean, like, thin's eight and a half. But there's no way he's going to bed at seven. But sometimes their they they they's sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes they's, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, but sometimes, they's, they's, but sometimes, they's, they's like, and they's like, and they's like, they's like, and their, and they're like, they's like, and they're, and they're, and they're, and they're, and they're, and I. And, and we's like, and I's like, and I's like, and I's like, and I's like, and I's like, and I's like, and I. And, and I. And, and I. And, their. And, their. And, and, their. And, their. And, their, I. And, their, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, they. And, thi. And, they. And, they. And, thi's like, they. And, they. And, sort of reading or doing some choir from seven. So we'll try and sort of start at seven bath time. I mean like it's just there's family bathroom, it's not like massive, but the shower bath and then there's a toilet. All three of those are in use like guaranteed. So one of them's in the shower. Annie pool like the biggest poo because you're not poo all day and we're just sometimes we're just like oh Finn I mean could you even just use like the downstairs leg but no it's like no don't don't want to be on a different level so there's a coccophony of smell well we just their cuckery try to get clean and dirty the same oh thii thrown. th. th. th. th. th. th. Oh oh th. Oh th. Oh thin. Oh thin. Oh thin. Oh thin, oh thin, oh thin, oh thin, 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, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, th. thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Oh, thi. thi of them is brushing their teeth whilst wiping their bum and then it's like oh for heaven's sake you know just let's have a little bit of personal space so and then

Beck is still breastfeeding Annie so and you know with again we've probably made a rock for our own back so often Annie will fall asleep whilst breastfeeding and so I'm usually in which Finn and Arthur and we'll do they'll read a book but they've usually been given from school that they've got to read. Then they usually listen to like a mighty audio thing. I don't know if you've got, you know, the Yoto player, it's like a, it's like a daily podcast. It's like a daily podcast with the kind of kids that they'll like listen to which last 10 minutes. So what would happen on that kid's podcast? Oh, it's quite good. day like you know who was born this day something about what this day represent you know or something to spin in the news or they'll do like birthday a shout-house but some of them can be quite like and now you're gonna run around the house and try and find sort of something beginning with every

letter of the alphabet and that's like oh no that's not confusing anyone falling asleep like literally Annie's whenthen waking up. So we do do that and then we have got into a habit. One of us will just lay in that room with them between their beds until they're asleep. Because it's just what they used to. I mean, FinBlesson used to hold my hand until you fell into sleep probably about four. It can be frustrating obviously because you know,

it's getting to like nine half, the house has a tip, got emails, I mean I can do emails and stuff like that. That makes me feel so much better because that's what I'm doing at the moment. Yeah, and roses away so you've got the little one in one room, you've got the older one in another. Well we've got this situation at the moment where my son, my daughter's moved on to the cabin bed so that she's just got, that old bed is in her room. That my son sometimes... It's still in there? Yeah, because he likes to sleep on it in her room now. Right, okay. But then it'll, some days he won't.

And then you've gone, we've just spent half an hour you're trying to get to sleep here and we've got to start again in your room. Oh God. I mean, I think, to think, think, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, he's, thinks, he's he's he's he's thinks, thinks, thinks, he's tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, he's th. Yeah, he's th. Yeah, he's thin, he's thin, he's thin, he's thin, thin, th thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, th office upstairs But I think he's probably just I'm moving to that is his bedroom and just I think so yeah I don't mean I think we'll do it. We'll move all the stuff and then I'll just want to be back downstares to the tasks their they there. theyre. I think we'll do? they will do it. being bigger and going. That's not sort of scared, but anxious certainly like they never wanted to be on a different level to us. Like, you know, as in there, not there's like multiple levels, but you know, they're always even want to be downstairs or there's a roughs, yeah, exactly, yeah.

So again, it's like a little thing because they never had like stairs in their own house before or anything. So they were kind they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their they they they their they they they they they their. they kind. they kind they kind. they kind they kind. they kind they kind. they they they they they their. 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. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I they're kind. I they're kind. I they're kind. they're kind. they're kind. they're kind. they're kind. they're kind. they're kind. they they they're kind. they they they they're kind. they they they they they're kind. they they're kind. they they they of, I mean, they can walk upstairs. I'm not saying they go upstairs. But they, but they, they will very, very, very rarely be up in their room if we're downstairs. They just want to at the same level as us. And that's part of the problem of it's like where we want to kind of like come down and like cook or something like that, they'll then sort of, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, they, they, th, they, they, they, they, they, they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll thry, they'll they'll thry, they'll they'll thrown, they'll very very very very, they'll they'll very very very very, they'll very very very very very very very very very very very thee, thee, thee, thee, their their their their their their their, their, their, thry, be very, thry, be very, thry, thry, thry, thry, thry, thry, thry, thry, thry, be very very very very very very thee, thee, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, be very very very very very, be very very, be very, be very, and were like I'll, well they can just watch tele-wi, and we were just watching like Master Chef or something like that, we're like just watch it. It's absolutely fine. And they might be like half-ten, but just watch it. Yeah, stuff they pretend to like to get out of bedtime. Yeah, dragon stand. Yeah, I was watching Bright and and play Brentford. I was like I don't don't even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even even they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they they they're to to they to they they're to their their to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their their. I'm th. I'm just just just th. I th. I th. I to te. I te. I te. I te. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm just th. I'm just th. I'm just ththey're quite into football, because I'm not really, but they're increasing into football. And so... Did they watch Ted Lasso? No, not really. I mean, you know, they're aware of it and aware of roughly what it's about. But no, they've never seen any of it. A bit grown up for them,

yeah, a tiny bit grown up. But then I'm always like surprised, like you know I guess kids who are like maybe 10 or 11 how I have seen it and I think partly because of the football maybe in it but actually that it was their sports day a week ago and they do like the parents race which is literally sort of the worst sort of minute of my year. Yeah. Because it's always just intimidating being the thought. Did you do it then? Small guy and all these da. I did do it yeah I do it. I the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. the. the. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I the th.

I th. th. th. th. the. the. te. te. te. toda. today. te. today. the. I the. I the. I the. I the. always just intimidating being the third. Did you do it then? Small guy and all these, yeah. I did do it, yeah, I do it because the bin made me do it. But like, how did it get on?

I think I came like third out of five, but one of them fell over. Oh, that's all right, that's all right. Yeah. I think that's last, isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't, isn't. the third, isn't. the third, isn't. their, isn't. their, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I. I'm. I'm. I'm. the third, yeah, yeah, yeah. the third. the. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I, I, I. Yeah, I, I. Yeah, I, I. Yeah, I'd. Yeah, I'd. Yeah, I'd. Yeah, I'd. Yeah, I'd. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, I, I, I'd. Yeah, I'd. Yeah, but third out of full. Yeah, okay, yeah, fair enough, yeah, that's it. And we were sort of waiting to sort of start. And one of the older kids at the school was like, oh, you'll be fine, you're a football coach. And I'm like fictional, fictional. You're like, I'm more of a swimmer, actually. And also, football coaches, I'm the other ones who on the field are they? They've all got massive bellies, aren't they, the coaches. You see them on the touch on, and I feel sorry for them because I have to wear all the clingy clothes.

And they're stood next to Jude Bellinum, which is like an absolute athlete in his prime condition. And there's just a bloat. And the the the the they, they, they, they, and they, and they, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and the, and, and, and the, and the, they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and they, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, they, they, they, they, it? I feel like I'm into it like a little bit because it's like, I feel like I've got far more of an appreciation for it because I tell that's so weirdly. Not that I will now actively sit down and watch, but I definitely like when England play, I'd watch it.

See Rob, people can enjoy England playing. Not just me. You don't have to be all angry. about it. No, but you can be annoyed with the tactics. But I do think that when you see your kids play it's more fun because you're watching your kids play and if they're enjoying it, it's just fun to see him enjoy it, whether it's whatever sport they do, you know? Oh yeah completely, yeah they do ballet on Saturdays which they, they love and have done it since they were like, and they do ballet, and they're the game, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th. it's, it's, th. It's th. It's to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to thi, to thi, thi, thi, th an attempt to get him to walk lightly? Well, in a way, it was sort of like something that we could throw back at them and say, I mean, they do ballet. What I remember last year, it's part of a publicity theme, Apple sent me to see a West Ham game, because I was in the final season I said last night, I was sort of the coach of West Ham. It was really the coach that and it was really th. And it was really th. And it was really th. It was really th. It was really th. It was really th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I was really thi.

I they football match since I was like a kid and my dad had sort of taken me to like Ellen Road when I really desperately didn't like football because I have associated

it with the kind of trendy, sporty kids at school who were effectively also the bullies. And I wasn't that crowd sort of like, you know, playing around with a deck of calves and stuff doing magic. You didn't think I'm a job. You weren't a job. Why are you wearing a 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 th. I'm a th.

Why are you wearing a baseball cap? Oh, now I'm a job. You look great. You've got a lovely little set of guns on you there, Niffy looks like you've been working out. There, look at that! Look at that!

That's not bad, Nick. Lovely frame on you. He's literally just sort of like lifting and it, you know, itthat it sort of counted exercise I guess. It's probably the bad kind though because I'll probably sort of like get repressive, you know, what's it? Because it's always the fame, the same kind of move. Stop it, take the compliment, you're looking great Nick. You're very kind of thear. As a very much of the house, I was so in, the sort gone all out because you know it's a bit of publicity thing for them and so I sat in I don't know about I sat in a nice bit not a box but it was I think the people who have got what they called when you got a yearly ticket

season pass like what season ticket season pass I don't know I know it's so bad subscription to subscription to West Ham and this guy came and sat next to me after about 10 minutes of the game sort of starting and it was like, oh right, right, what's what's been happening then? What's been happening? And I had no, I had no idea. Oh God. And I had to sort of like, literally sort of like, like, literally sort of like, sort of like, what's the sort of, like, what's the sort of, sort of things? Like, what's, th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what?

I didn't think that the benefits of football outweighed the negatives in terms of, you know,

racism, the sort of the hierarchy, the massive fees, that you know, the kind of tribalism, you know, that, you know, all that hooligan is. All of that, I sort of completed with, like I think, actually no, it's brilliant. And like, I can see how people love it. Now, now you've been nominated for an Emmy twice for a football-based comedy drama. You can see them. That's all it. It's all in took.

It's all in. Let's talk about. Oh, yes. You play a comedy writer. And the outfit they've put you in is fucking perfect for, like, you just look, you look like a comedy writer. They give me glasses as well. They give me like kind of slightly comedy. They give me like kind of like comedy.

Oh you do, yeah, I've just seen the promo. They put me in quite sort of retro clothes I think. Yeah, yeah, just slightly. Yeah, just slightly. Jeans have got a wallet marking it, it went to be worn. There you go. So tell us the premise for Douglas is cancelled, which is kind of, you know, does what it says on the tin in a, it's a good title in that sense? Yeah, yeah, quite.

I mean, it's, it's really fun. I mean, like, so writer. And Gogglebox. And Gogglebox and all that. Sorry, that's Scarlet Muffet, sorry. They're different, yeah? Different guys. If not even if Gogglebox was actually a scripted comedy, I'd love that. Oh God, it'd be a tough one to write.

They'd all been doomed and actually it was a scripted comedy. I I I I I I I I I I 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 all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all. They're all all. They're all all all all all all all th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're all all all all all all th. they're all all they're all all all. They're all. They'rethat. They have the best actors in the world. Yeah, Stephen Muffat wrote it. And it is about cancel culture. So Hugh Bonneville plays a newsreader who gets canceled because he's overheard saying a sexist joke. But the kind of, the internoombs of exactly what this joke are a kind of, like, hidden from us, like, for the first sort of three episodes, out of four episodes. So it's all about the kind of, well, the industry trying to sort of like navigate this sort of potential viral kind of like cancellation. And it is a phenomenal piece of writing from Stephen actually because it manages to sort of walk this tightrope of, you know, it doesn't come down either side

on whether it can't or bad, you know, it really, really does walk a tightrope and you're seeing it from all different points of view. I mean, in episode three, I mean, it's very, because he is so witty, it's very funny and actually knowing it is a play now, it's very farcical actually. It's lots of kind of in and out of rooms, opening doors, people passing each other in corridors, you know, it's very very, th., th., th., th. th. And, their thi, thi, thi. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their thi, their their thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thiaaugh, is thi.a.a. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And very quick. But actually, episode three gets very serious and deals with some, I won't go into this but there's some very serious issues about the industry and and it really kind of takes your breath away a little bit because you've been laughing up to that point and then suddenly you're questioning why you were laughing and why you were laughing, and, yeah, I play a comedy right so it was effectively sort of brought in by the news team to try and take on Hugh Bonneville's character's

sort of Twitter profile, like try and make light of it and try and feed in one-liners so that he sort of can try and dilute this situation. But he's basically the comedy writer is a massagingist as well, has only ever sort of surrounding himself by people like him and a very short of comedy. A TV smashers' to that's on ITV1 and ITVX in June. ITV smashes drama doesn't it? It absolutely smashes it. Yeah, it's doing some really interesting stuff on TV.

And I think it's really interesting that I think, because I assume, I've never actually found this out of definite, but I assume that Stephen Moppa couldn't have had the pick of the crop really given his kind of caliber, right? And it's really interesting, I think, that he's gone to ITV because it's a, you know, it's very mainstream channel. Well, they brought down the post office. Do you think this could have the same impact? But I think it's the idea that it will definitely encourage conversation around kind of council culture and misogyny and you know sexism in the workplace and

Yeah. What counts is bound to what doesn't what you're allowed to say in private what you can say in when you kind of got the anonymity of social media. So I think it will encourage a real mainstream conversation about a lot of those issues. But also to put it on a platform I mean look all channels have occasionally got into to try to to put it on a platform, you know, to the the the the the the the the to the their to their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttto., ttel. I, ttel. I, to, ttel. I, to, to, you know, like ITV, which hasn't, you know, it certainly had its fair share of controversy as like, you know, you know, so I feel like it's really interesting, I think they're in a really interesting kind of place and it's great that they're giving it such prominence, but yeah, I'll be really interested to see how it goes down. Late June, the TV. tv. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. thes. the's, th. today. It's, th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, the th.

Yeah I assume it's on ITV, the whole thing's on ITVX, but then I think the linear broadcast is weekly. Oh what you think is all out on ITVX in one go? I suspect so, yeah. Binge-worthy. People can bloody well binge it. Nick, we always end with the same question. I'm sure Becker knows. Becca has not told me what this question is. Oh well that's th the be th th th the be th th th th is not th is not th the be th is not th. Be Becca th. Be Becca th. Be Becca thi the be the be th. Be Becca not th.

So you've never got to an end of a four episode in a car, considering that at the start of this chat you do listen. Just say and I remember these things. We usually are forced to put on like wheels on the bus by that point. Yeah,

sure. I'm swimming to get the kids. Oh my God, I tell you what, I've done panel shows where I've seen it before you know it, I've I've I've I've I've the I've the the the the th, I've th, I've the th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th, I've th.

I love the buzzer-winging it. I will say that I'm so terrified of panel shows that I have, like if I've ever gone on one, to be fair, Castor Canada's the only one I've done. You're brilliant on that. I studied. I. I studied. I studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied. I've studied it. I've studied it, I've studied it. I've studied it's studied it's their. I've studied it's their their their their the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. I've th. I've thru. I've thru. I've thru. I've thru-s. I've throoooooooooooooo' the, but you're funny. I just sort of felt because I'm not a stand-up that I just wasn't gonna. Yeah, I know, but as I spoke, I've got family members that are funnier than actual standups and are living on the circuit. It's not because they're not funny, it's not fun. It's not because they're fun.

Yeah, oh Carr, Tom Allen. Yeah, Alan Carr and Michael Sheen, yeah. Yeah. Well, Nick, this is something that will make you uncomfortable. We'd like to end with a positive, which is something that your wife does, something that she does that just blows your mind. It's like, I couldn't parent like that. This is why, you know, she's the most amazing parent in the world. And something if she was listening, we don't know if she listens, that she does, that annoys you, but you haven't brought up,

but if she heard it, it would be a chance for her to correct that small piece of behavior. So she is, she is. Oh yeah, you go straight in. I mean, she's literally upstairs doing this. So she is, like build stuff, like just build stuff. Yeah.

I mean, she literally sort of like built the kitchen. She just sort of did it and I don't even just mean like, flat pack like she just sort of learned how to tile, just learn how to sort of like put paneling on, like did the flooring, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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, the, the, they, they, they, th......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. on YouTube like just looks like she's literally phenomenal she is like currently upstairs because I think we are going to literally next week put thin up in the office sort of moving stuff around and like and it can be annoying because like she'll sort of finish off in one room and then she was like I think we should change it if we should just do let's put a cupboard there or let's just do that or put some show show Should I have to go and do it? And it is phenomenal, like our work ethic, her ability to sort of just know how to do it, like in an innate ability to sort of know how to do it.

But at the same time, they're having so much time and energy for the kids and for me and creating this like wonderful her, wonderful. I just don't know where she gets the energy from and to survive on such little, I mean, I'm not getting much sleep, she's going even less sleep. I mean, like it is phenomenal how she's able to kind of function. One day of that, less than one day of that, I would be like, I'm out of this. I can't keep this. I mean, she is, and it maybe even feels like a cliche to kind of like be this praiseworthy, but I feel like people don't quite get it. And if people ever like come to the house, I'm like, you know that Becca literally made this? And they're like, what do you mean? Do you mean you got someone in to do it? And she sort of tell them? And I was like, no, no, no, she made it. It was like, no, no, she made it was like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the. the, the, the, the, the, th. the, the, the, the, the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thing that it is I mean it is phenomenal like the only thing she's not been doing is electric and plumbing

but like everything else I think I think it's not fair but also in like just to go back to lockdown in not in lockdown because she's a teacher as well she just structured these days like the kids didn't even notice to the today. The kids didn't even notice to notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice notice but she just created these really structured days to make it like so that they wouldn't really notice any different and it was just so she still teaching. She was still teaching on Zoom as well as doing the home school as well as she was on maternity? Do you know bits and pieces yeah yeah but obviously with a under she started teaching sort of again within it but yeah I'm soon she went back to school that that's the the the negative the negative the the the the the the the the the the the the the th and th and th and th and the th and th and th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I was they's was they's the. I was they they they they they was they was they was they was they was still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still still.. the the to. they. they. they. th. th. th. they's. they's. they's they're they're th. I's th. I's th. I'm just just just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just. too. too. te. te. they're they're they're just. I'm still still still still to some school that she was out. Is the negative? Is there a negative? Well, the negative is the mess.

Because I sort of have it in my head that, oh, and this is partly from, I guess from when we're in the flat and have kids, it's like, it's just easier to kind of just reset like everything, all the day of like kind of mounts up. But now that we've got like a bit more space is absolutely fine for like one room to be messed but I like so I like still like still still like side the up. So I sometimes like prioritize the role of things to sort of like do I guess but I sometimes see the mess as a bit of a negative but it's not really. I mean the grand scheme of things. She did you built a house. I mean it's mad. Oh well Nick, this has been brilliant. Thank you so much. Amazing.

Thank you so much. Well, good luck of it, mate. Thank you so much, thanks so much. Thanks so much for having me. Always a pleasure. Take care of both of you and I'd be both of you and yeah, hopefully see you're the mate. I'd to work in Sandry is I'd be like you're gonna be my mate

Yeah, we're gonna be mates but you know life gets busy we don't see each other But I think me and Nick Mohammed could be really good pals if we live close to each other I think you him and David swimmer on the bloody oh Oh gosh having a couple of beers chatting about friends Ted Lasso and wedding day winners We don't know what they 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.
