Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Willicombe. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky. So to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you, the listener,

with your tips, advice, and of course, tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times where none of us know what we're doing. ["The Star-Spangled Banner"] Ooh, nice. Air Canada has a worldwide sale. Wow, look at this deal to the Philippines.

I'll tell that for free.

Yeah, good job. That's good. If you want to add your catchphrases, we're welcome to them. Oh, I think that's good. Quotes from the pod as extras is quite fun. Particularly if it's a small child swearing and they don't know they're doing it.

Oh, lovely stuff. Yes, please. Hi, Rob, Josh, and Michael. Here's my two and a half year old son, Noah, say your name. Surprisingly, he was better at Josh's and also Josh's signature catchphrase. Love the pod. You have me and my husband cracking up constantly. Looking forward to seeing you both at the cliffs. Oh, Southend. Oh, Josh. Right. I've been having a couple of things I want to talk to you about. Yeah.

So, like, I'm telling you off. Couple of things I want to talk about. Couple of things I want to talk to you about. It sounds like I'm telling you off. Couple of things I want to talk about. Couple of things. One, I'm absolutely loving these Easter holiday lines, by the way. I don't know if you're getting them, but I'm getting them. Go on, talk to me about it.

They're allowed their iPads at half seven. Normally they're sleeping till about half seven, so we're getting up about half seven, eight. Yeah, that's what we do normally anyway, so. Absolutely lovely. We get half seven all the time the fucking bedtime is so late how is the three-year-old still unable to sleep at 9 p.m. the extra food shopping at Easter kids, because they're at home hammering through the

yogurts through food. Because you do a normal weekly shop. And it'd be fine if they're in school, but I hope they're snacking 24-7. This is a love for me in my life, Rob. Yogurt wise. Glad you brought up yogurt. So I got a tip off Zoe, who on last leg and costume. Yeah. She said, so you know like for your gut, it's mainly really good to have, what's it called? Like kefir and kimchi and all that, whatever that's called. Good bacteria, good bacteria. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can get strawberry, kefir is basically not very nice yogurt, but if you get the strawberry kefir, it's just like strawberry yogurt. So you're giving them all that good kind of... Oh, well we actually give our daughter, she gets so hangry, she actually has chocolate

milk, a protein shake. Oh, there you go. Just to get some protein in her. Fermented, that's the word I was looking for. Fermented. Anyway, my daughter didn't like the strawberry bits that are in it. I found myself sieving yogurt, Rob.

Talk about losing the battle. Got the full tub, sieved it back into the tub so that I'm not having to do it every time. Because when you first thought of that, I bet you was thinking, I actually have a really good idea of this, because now she'll eat it, and that's easy to do, actually. But then partly brain goes, I'm a fucking yogurt slur.

Yeah, I'm fucking sipping a yogurt. It's like a term like, if you don't like something, you've got a couple of fucking yogurt slurs moved in. It actually sounds like a homophobic slur. It sounds like a homophobic slur. Fucking yogurt slurs. Yeah, but I'm, it's just a mad moment in your life sounds like a homophobic slur. Sounds like a homophobic slur. Fucking yogurt sivers. Yeah. But I'm, it's just a mad moment in your life where you're like,

I know this is really good for her because you're meant to have fermented stuff. It's not good for you mentally. You can't have a yogurt sliver. I'm sipping a yogurt. It's a good sign of my love, etc. But it's also a good sign of my weakness. Yeah. Isn't that what love is?

Just pure weakness. Also, I was thinking about my dream job. I won't tell you what my dream job, my dream life would be. Yeah. Is, and I love, do you know what though? No, no, no, I love stand-ups. Stand-ups up there, but I do think, and it probably wouldn't be as rosy as I imagine, I'd love to be a local club legend of a mid table Italian football team. Right. Someone like Bologna, Lecce, Turin. You know, one of them ones. Lecce is a lovely city.

Not even Champions League level. I'm talking the occasional Europa League. Normally just domestic. They're number 10 with a ponytail, went through the academy, had my whole career there, treated like a local legend. And I wander around that town or city drinking little coffees, and I still got my ponytail. And everyone knows who I am. So they're not even bothered by me anymore because I'm such a local legend.

I've signed everyone's number 10 shirt of mine that they want signing. And I'll sit there and it's just a child. So why do you want to be a local legend? I've always loved Italian football. No, no, no. More like playing. The key thing is the career in football. Right.

Number 10 on my back for the local team. Maybe we won an Italian cup. We never really hit up, never gotten a call up for the Italy squad. Yeah. Absolutely dominated, retired at 38, pushing it about a bit. Number 10 on the back. Family man. Lovely villa. I never, if I, if I needed anything doing, I just ring up the local and they're like, of course for you, like, club ledge.

And they just come in and get it done. And it's just like, I never leave that little air of Italy. Yeah. And I think that, that I think would be, that's my dream. Is that your dream life? That's my dream life. Oh, wow. And are you doing any media work? Are you, are you like working for the club?

Occasionally, but when I turn up, I know I'm a little bit loose lips and they might get the bloody real truth. Ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah. It's a little, everyone's a little bit on sender hooks when this little wild card turns up with a little wink in his eye and a cheeky smile.

It would be a nice life. It would be. So you'd prefer that to being Jude Bellingham. I think so. I think that's too much. And they'll be like, Oh, so we've got, you know, Roberto Beccatinios here, Lecce legend. And they were like so Lecce of Drawn. Have you ever been to Lecce? No, never. Just saying it out loud. So beautiful. It's such a lovely tale. And then we're like, so have you ever been to Latche? No, never. Just saying it out. So beautiful.

It's such a lovely town. I just loved, you know, that football, football Italia on a Saturday, James Richardson with the coffee. And there's always a local legend for each team kind of thing. And you know, like, and you'd go and they'll be like, oh, Roberto Becatino, what do you think of Latche drawing FC Brest in Europe? Yeah, that's only one thing you think about. Yeah, and all that. It's all good fun.

Yeah. It's all kind hearted good fun. But you know, you serve him up to Roberto Beccatini, who's got his slightly receding ponytail still in full force. Do you know what you say about the ponytail? I met someone on Saturday and they said, they said, oh, Rob's hair looks so much better. What longer?

When it gets too long, it gets a bit sex touristy. How long are you gonna go? No, I think about the length I've got it, but I just need to keep on top of trimming it. It's a little bit too long at the moment. Basically, the rule is if I can get it in a ponytail, I look like a sex tourist, that shouldn't, I should go to the hairdressers immediately.

Yeah, fine. If you give me a hair band and I could put a ponytail, it's too long. Well, that's the rule. Let's see how it goes. Let's see how it goes. I think every comedian, except you, Rob, Wanted to be in a band.

Wanted to be, or be a musician. So Ramesh would have wanted to be a hip hop. Yeah, 100%. That would have been his first, mine would have been number 10. Don't get me wrong. I take football. The great thing about football as well is you've got a clear end to your career. There's no question of how long you're going to do this. No, but that's stressful though, because you need to get all the money in.

Yeah. That's, I feel sorry for footballers like that. And also comedy, you won't ever physically, certain things can make you physically not be able to do it, but there's not such an obvious, clear decline in physicality that affects your performance. So comedy does go on a bit longer. So maybe when I'm older, I won't be jealous of those footballers. But Josh, Joe, you know me, I just want to get out and express myself. The stage, the football pitch, I don't call them that, I call them just another canvas. Oh, my word. Well, let's hear you, me and Joel painting a lovely picture on some canvas.

What most people would call three artists. Yeah. Just going to work on the canvas of a WAV file. Enjoy. A spoonful of yoghurt. We have to get him to de-clag. It's because I don't quite have time to eat my yoghurt. Joel, no! but we have to get him to de-clag. It's cause I don't quite have time to eat my yogurt. Like... I don't know. Josh, no, no, no. Who's not got time to eat it?

That's the quickest food that exists. No, but it's got lots of good stuff in it, Joel. It's got fruit, it's got nuts. What time did you wake up this morning, Josh? You must have been able to eat your yogurt. It's 11 a.m. I don't want to eat straight away, Rob. Right.

Also, it's unfair to say it's 11am, because I've been talking to you for the last hour. I don't know, 10am. Yeah, and then I had to do the school run. Anyway, Rob, Joel, hello. I love that your granola has been introduced to the podcast before me. I know, yeah. Last time I did this podcast, I had an office. Yeah. And you know where I recorded this from.

The office is a playroom. It's been fully taken over. I can use the playroom as an office, but I know at some point during this podcast he's going to get back from being on the high street with my wife. What's he doing on the high street? The high street is such a weird thing to say. Can I just say the words the high street? That's a 90s kid thing. The high street. Just saying it. What? Do you not say high street? What are you saying? No, you're still back there.

Are you aware of internet? What it's done to the High Street? Shocking walls. Yeah, he's just walking up and down looking for Woolworths. Do you know what I thought of you the other day when I was in central London, Joel? Why? I was at Oxford Circus. And you know, you obviously don't remember this, Joel. We were open micers at the time and we had a gig in the evening and we were killing time. And it was the day they launched the new pedestrian crossing straight across the middle of Oxford Circus.

I think I remember this. And we went and had a go on it? Yeah, should we go and try this fucking thing where you can walk straight, diagonally across? No one tells you about that five year period when you're an open mic comic where you have to kill hours upon hours in central London waiting for gigs. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Did we do it all ways?

Did we do like the straight bits and the diagonal bits? Yeah, I think we must have. I mean, it felt so exciting, the diagonals. Is it still happening, that diagonal? Yeah, it's still, it works. I think it's worked. I think it's there, man. I think, I mean, after this feedback, after 20 years of it being there.

Yeah, that would have been like 15 years ago, wouldn't it? Joel, let's get off of Southern London, trans travel. Travel. Travel. Child, age. Got one, got one. Year and a half. All 18 months. Finally, out of the months though. Yeah.

I'm just going to say a year and a half and then I'm going to wait and say like two years. Yeah, it's nice work. And you're doing name, public name, name public or private? I'm just going to say a year and a half and then I'm going to wait and say a year, like two years. Yeah. Nice work. And you're doing name, the public name, name public or private? Public name? High Street. Wild?

Wild is his name. Because Sean's with an E. With an E. Wild with an E. And Sean Walsh's, I think, is it daughter? It's called Wilder. Wilder. And then Ant McPartland's, I think, son is called Wilder too.

Will I've always, if you look at the press, Sean Walsh and Aunt McPartland are wilder than you, Joel. So. Where's this come from though? Cause I've never heard of the name. I've heard of Oscar Wilde. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Rob, calm down. We know you've read it, but chill out, mate. Yeah. All right, Rob, calm down. We know you've read a book. Chill out, mate. Come on. Bookish. You just wanted to slip that one in. Is that why you brought up names in the first place? Maeve Binchy. Can you name us three things about Oscar Wilde?

Martina Cole. Just a few other authors. I thought you were going to say Ingus. I don't know why, but I thought you were going to say Ingus. She's probably written a book. She's probably written a book. Oh, she's at least claimed it. Oscar Wilde. Name us three factor Oscar Wilde. Oh, I could probably do this. The hotel that he died in still going and you can stay in the room that he died in and that has still has the wallpaper on the wall that he complained

about. In Paris. Yeah, we say so. The wallpaper goes or I do. And it's in Paris. And it's called a hotel called L'Hôtel. And we booked it once. And we booked that room. I must die. Oh, right. No, we wanted it. It was like a special because it's a quite expensive hotel. It was like a special treat. Anyway, we get there. And Kyla Monogue's out the front crying.

What? What the fuck? On a phone. What? Crying on a phone, right? Oh my god. And then we get there. They said, we're really sorry. We can't, we can't let you have the Oscar Wilde room because the person that's standing needs to stay for longer. No.

And she's at the front crying, or Kylie Minogue and Paul Strings. Anyway, so to apologize, we'll upgrade you to the penthouse suite for the same price. Oh my God. So we never actually stayed in there. So was it? Do you know if Kylie was crying? She couldn't stay for an extra night or no, I don't know. I don't know if she's something that happened. That was quite bad. And then she was there and she needed to

stay there. She wanted to I don't know. But it felt like a coincidence. She was staying there and be upset and they had problems. She just heard about Oscar Wilde. The wallpaper went. They put him in prison for what? And that's the other fact, he was a gay man. Correct, correct. I love that fact. Yes, gay man. He would have loved Kylie Minogue. I reckon he would have loved me adverts for a wine. I reckon he would have done the adverts for a wine. Sorry. So what was it? A wild, yeah. So where did the name come from, Josh? Or did you? Joel.

Joel, sorry. Don't worry. I've had it in my entire career. Everyone who's called me either Joel Lyset or Josh Dommet. It's a mixture of either both. Yeah, well, we're similar ranking. Never correct. Yeah. I think it's all, we like to because it's slightly Dutch because it's a Dutch name. Yeah.

Wilder, I think it's Dutch. Oh, yeah. And, and Hannah's obviously Dutch. And so we were like, oh, that's nice. They said it the most Dutch person ever. If I had to imagine a Dutch woman, it's Hannah. Yeah. And she does quite a lot actually.

Imagine Google search. Private browsing Dutch woman. English man. And so we thought that was nice. And then it sort of weirdly came up and we were like, okay, that's nice. But now we'd like, when we went to the jungle last year to do the extra show of the jungle, we took wild and then also took wilder. And so wilder and wild were hanging out.

Oh wow. I know. Sounds like a garden center. Also, it's almost like a bit of a power move to go, you're wild, this one's wilder. Yeah, yeah. It's likeer. Yeah. Dex can have another one called wildest. How is wild? What's going on? 18 months. 18 months. Speaking? Yeah, he's trying to. He's in this weird, he's in this really funny phase where he's starting

to learn words. It's like little words. and it's really fun time because it's like little words every day, and little things. Yesterday was fun. It was like it's this first funny thing where he now is hiding things behind his back, and he goes, gone, gone. And then we go, oh, where are the keys? And he goes, gone.

And then he gets the keys out, and then he just laughs a lot. Yeah, yeah. That's good. So he's already funnier than joke. He's already so much funnier than me. Certainly in Edinburgh 2010, he is absolutely trumping me. He is obsessed with belly buttons is the thing that he's absolutely obsessed with. We need to like get him off it. So what's his thing? Does he finger in as far as he can? He finds them hilarious anytime like... They are quite weird. Yeah, I suppose and it's sort of a hidden thing, isn't it? That you kind of reveal... It's quite funny to pull someone's top up and put

them in the belly button for a baby. And now he just goes around to everyone trying to pull up everyone's top. He's currently on the high street. Take it off. Take it off. Just got in there. Just poke it back. If ever he is, you know, if he's like complaining or crying or anything like that, if he's in a public place and he's causing a fuss, we just have to get our belly button up.

Do you? I mean, would you? Is that more of a you job than Hannah though to get our belly button up. Do you? I mean, would you? Is that more of a you job than Hannah, though? Yeah, well, whatever. We'll take a stranger. Oh, really? Honestly, anything.

And sometimes Hannah really fucks herself because she'll wear one of those onesie bodysuit things. And she's like, oh, God. And she has like undue buttons in the back. Oh, really? Yeah. It's like, it's bad. And we need to get, you know, it's one of those things sometimes you... It's funny for a bit. It's funny for like, and then they're in it and

you're like, oh no, this is a real problem for the rest of their life. And I feel like now is that going to be like a fetish that he's going to have for the rest of his life? And I've taught him that and I'm really... Yeah, like you don't even first day of school just before he goes in just you've got a quick quick belly button dad. Yeah, there you go, son. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It's like a sports day. Can I just touch your belly bottom before we do the 100 meters? And so I'm so that's that's the thing that's a problem. He's obsessed with tripods.

Obsessed with tripods. Really? Yeah. Like how many have you got knocking around? Well, cause we do the podcast in our house and so we set them up and so he, he loves, loves them and he just carries it around the house. There's this one like this is the one, this one here. It's like a phone. Yeah. Huge. Just carries that around. Just carries that around the house. Like fucking Gandalf. Kids are just obsessed, don't they?

Obsessed with things. They love it. Yeah, he's obsessed with like objects. He's so much more obsessed with like belly buttons and tripods than he is with like, Peppa Pig or like a toy that you would provide him with. And then you're going to get him a tripod for his birthday and he's not going to be obsessed with that one because it'll be the specific ones that he wants. Toys are a waste of time at that age. They don't give a shit about toys. They just want stuff. Yeah. Yeah. He just wants things like, and anything that you don't want him to do, he's

obsessed with. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like now we're just this week, he's now, he's doing stairs good. So like, we finally let him up. And not the gates. Because I'm, no, we decided not to do gates. And I don't know, this is probably controversial. And this is, this is what's hard about parenting and talking about parenting. As soon as you say anything, everyone's like, Oh my God, tell me about it. Tell me about it, Joel. It's such a minefield. I know. I know. And it's that the call me all right, with children and politically, just all assume we're wrong. We're all wrong.

Yeah, we're all just getting on with it. Okay. It would be weird. If of everyone's opinions in the world, I was the only one that had got them all right. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? What are the chances? Yeah, what are the chances that I'm the only one with the correct opinions? I think having an opinion is overrated. I've said it for years.

If you just don't have one, what do you think of that? Don't. Also, this is the maddest one. If you've got an opinion, fucking keep it to yourself. Like what are these people that are telling their opinions to people? Find out a radio station to tell them your opinion. What the fuck is wrong with you? What are you doing?

What are you doing? Like setting up a podcast to tell people about your parenting. What are you doing? But this is an opinion free podcast, Joel. So give us your opinion on StairGate. Some why you think everyone that uses the word is a pussy. Yeah, because I just want him to sort of grow up to be like sort of a jackass, Travis Pastrana sort of, you know, showing that says no, I when well, we just never really did it. of, I'll show you downstairs. No, I, well, we just never really did it. And then he sort of always just seems to know not to go downstairs and then not to go up them. And then now he can just do

them and he just sort of turns up. But it's quite scary because they're wooden and so like, it's just scary. We were quite half-hearted the second time around. We like did a couple and then we're like, oh, we really should put one at the top of that one as well. And then we never kind of got round to it. And then kind of the moment of us now. It's more like it's more like, for us, it was more like at night, if they wake up earlier in the night, and they're a bit confused wandering about. Yeah, we had one on his on his room. Yeah, that made me on the rooms better. Well, that's a good shout. I was a good shout rooms. I didn't realize was the thing you'd like door gates.

Yeah, just so because if he gets because he'll get is he in a cot at the moment still? Yeah, he's still in the car. And he can't but then the day can climb out of that wonder about you only find out about that on the day. Yeah, my daughter, we converted her to a bed. And I've heard this from quite a few people. She didn't realize that she could get out of it really. Yep. Do you know what? It was so like we converted her to a bed and then she'd still shout for us in the

morning. She wouldn't realize. We have got very different children, Josh. And no, my son, don't worry, he's still at 1am. 1am he's in. He's right out of that bed. He's out of that bed. When you did MacIntyre's road show when they came in your house, when you were wearing your watch. It's called the big show, Joel. Sorry. What were your kids doing? They were sleeping upstairs with Rose's mom. Did they not get woken up by the gladiators running up and down your stairs? They once are down, they are down. What about your, Rosie's mum, did she wake up? No one checked today, actually petrified.

She seems to from, she, no, she was aware it was happening, that's why she had them in her room. Right, okay, so Rosa told her. Yeah, yeah, because they don't normally sleep up there with her, but it was like, as, like, and this is, why would you question it? Because you're not going to go, wait a minute. So she was like, oh, they're having a sleepover with my mom upstairs. I was like, fine. Yeah. And afterwards, you're like, yeah, they've never done that before since, but you're not going to go, sorry. So Michael McIntyre must be coming. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. I completely get it. I completely get it. Do you wear a watch at night, Joel? Big question, actually. I'm glad you, glad you asked me this, Josh. I got a lot of flack that I was still wearing my watch. Yeah, yeah. But like, people do wear a watch that's like maybe like an Apple watch or something, because it like then tracks your sleep and stuff like that. I don't think many people are wearing a dress watch. Yeah, absolutely not a dress watch. Who are you? Fucking Sherlock Holmes? A dress watch? No, he's just a very suave guy. Oscar Wilde?

You've got a dress watch. You've got leather with a bit of metal on. Exactly. What's the problem? I don't sweat at night. It's really weird and it's fine if you don't believe it to be. You don't sweat at night. It's really weird, and it's fine if you don't believe it to be. You don't sweat at night. If you want to do it, go for it. But all I was saying, it's very unusual to go to sleep with a dress watch on.

Yeah. So Joel, how's your sleep? Look, I'm tired. But actually, he actually, we're lucky he sleeps quite well. He sleeps good. I'm sleeping badly at the moment because I'm running the marathon and so basically every night I go to bed, my legs really hurt. And so I'm just sleeping awfully at the moment. And you trying to do sub three.

Yeah. Sub three hours, but, um, I'm really, I'm really, it's really hard. I kind of regret it. That much. You're not running for as long. It's what that's, that is actually the nice thing. Like, that's what I say to myself in my head the entire time. It's like, the quicker you run it, the faster it's over. Do you know what I mean? So I'm glad you're enjoying it. So, Oh my God, it's so hard. When I started, I was like, this is great.

This is a really cool thing to do. And then it's just now every day, it's horrible. It's horrible every day. And that also has Hannah Deen with like, if you're like off, cause you're quite busy with work, you're on a big tour at the moment, and you're doing telly stuff. When you come home and you want to be at home, you go, all right, just going to pop out for a quick 15 K. Yeah, it's, it's, it's bad. It's like, I really like, I genuinely had a bit of a breakdown because I was trying to do all these long

runs, trying to fit them all in. And I was really busy. And you guys will know writing a tour is for me harder than doing the tour. Yeah, the tours are quite relaxing in a weird way. Yeah, exactly. It feels fine once it's up and running. Now it's up and running. It feels fine and it feels really nice. But it's like, that's sort of two months before it, I was out every night trying new bits at like weird little gigs. And you know, like sometimes you get back and it's like, it's done. Really, you've like really got something out of it.

And sometimes you get back and you've got nothing out of it. And it's just all over the shop. And, um, and so just basically felt like, and then it was time to get up early because of wild, so I was never really catching up on that sleep. And, uh, and then I'd be like, I'll just put, I'd go in for a meeting into town and then so I could fit in my runs instead of getting an Uber home, I'd just leave my stuff in a bush, get changed and then just like run 26 K home. When would you get the stuff from the bush? I just leave it in a bush. What do you mean? What stuff? I'd just like go in and stuff. I'd go into town for meetings in stuff that like...

In really terrible clothes? It's terrible clothes. That you don't want anymore? Yeah. And then just like leave them in a bush and then go... This is mad. Then run home. This is mad. Surely drop me off at a charity shop. I mean, you can't drop in a charity shop. I should have. In hindsight, I definitely should have done that. But there is a bush somewhere in Acton where I've got some clothing. There is some of my clothing behind a bush. And then you just run home from there.

And I just run home from there. But there was this one where I just ran home. Run was fine actually. The good thing about starting in Acton is you do want to leave quite quickly. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And I just, because of the tour was

so stressful, trying to get it all up from the, from the first one. And this is another mistake I made. I did my first date in Bristol, which is my hometown. And I didn't even think about that. I just didn't even do the admin. They sent me the dates and they were like, do you want to do all these dates? And are they okay? And I was like, yeah, yeah, fine. I didn't read them. Of course I did. The first one's Bristol's where I like, it's so my parents were there. It was the first one and I was like, oh my god. Oh god, that's stressful having your parents watching. They're the only people in now that I find stressful having in. Yeah. Yeah. Your parents, yours are fine with their in, but mine. It's, I just-

I've got to get your tour dates up. So what's the tour called? It's called Happy Idiot. It's really nice now, now that it's up and running. I'm like, oh, it's about it. I had the same tour manager as you. And it's... Joe! Yeah, Joe, lovely bloke.

Great. Lovely bloke. Mate, I did feel old because he's so young. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other day I said like, oh, it's all right for you. Like, you know, what are you, like 28? He was like 25.

I was like, fuck! Shit, man, he's so young. He's such a nice guy as well. He like converses so brilliantly with everyone. I'm like, I'm so much more, how am I, I'm more awkward than a 20 fucking five year old. It's like, I'm more awkward than a guy who's essentially just gone through puberty. It's ridiculous.

All right, I've got your dates, you're doing a broad-balee joke. You basically all sold out near enough, but I'll go through the gigs. Watford, Guildford, Oxford, Leeds, Colchester, Hereford, Huddersfield, Bromley, Crewe, Farram, Swindon, Exeter, Western Supermaire, Norwich, Norwich, Norwich, and that's between now and June. Mate, I'm... That's a lot.

Turns out, famous in Norwich. Just smashing it in Norwich? I'm the only... I solve so well in Norwich. It's insane. Playwich. I'm the only I solve so well in Norwich. Playhouse is a big room as well. You have three nights there. It's like we honestly and that one sold out as well. I could put on a full. I don't know nowhere else.

No where else. There are where I sell really well. How long have you been going, Rob? Joel, when did you start? February or something? I thought you asked me how long I've been doing stand-up comedy. How long have you been going to Norwich to build up this family? Every year? I haven't been there for years. I don't know what's going on. Maybe that's what it is, Joel. The people of Norwich are thirsty for Joel, damn it.

They're a good audience, Norwich. Do you sell as badly in Oxford as I do? Oxford is awful. I'm not really across my sales. Does that make sense? Yeah, I know what you mean. I try and stick my head in the sand. And I tend to know if a venue's not going well, because I'll be asked to do some local

radio. That's the way it works. I love when you do local radio when like you go, they go, we've got Josh Whitcomb here. The surprise in their voice is like, we can't believe we've got Josh Whitcomb here. But yeah, I sell so badly in Oxford, it's so weird. Every time, I don't know why I do it. Again, I should look through that list and be like, don't start in Bristol, don't do

Oxford. Do you know what I mean? Joel, I've just clicked on your Oxford gig. Is it bad? Is it really bad? I'm joking, I'm joking. Oh God, I'm going to check now. Don't do that to him.

I'm joking. Joel. 7.30 starts well, Oxford. Mate, mate, I'm starting at 7.30 every week. I'm starting at 7.30 every week. I'm starting check now. No, don't do that to him. I was joking. Joel. 7.30 start as well, Oxford. Mate, mate, I'm starting at 7.30 every time.

Unbelievable. Yeah, I start at 7.30. I love it. I love it. Game changer. Are you doing eight, Rob? Are you doing eight? What are you doing eight for?

Oh, I've been fucking shafted here. Idiot, man. Mate, 7.30, I do first section half an hour, break, and then I do like 50 minutes of section. I'm done by quarter past nine, man. My semphory, I do first section half an hour break and then I do like 50 minutes of sex. I'm done by quarter past nine, man. Oh man. Joel, just so you know, Exeter. Yeah. If anyone wants to go to Exeter, there's four seats left. That's all there is. And they're all next to each other. Four people could just buy them now. Oh my God. That is app. This is, I feel like I'm on QVC.

Do you want, while you're listening, P13 to P16 all available. The whole thing is sold out apart from that. If you buy them now, we will throw in a free Joel Domett t-shirt. And then I tell you what, we can throw in some tickets to Oxford, but not Norwich. Not Norwich.

No, not Norwich. If you buy those four tickets in Exeter, we'll throw in a hundred tickets in Oxford. How about that? I'm going to tell you now, Rob, Joel, you're not selling out Western Supermare. And the reason for that is there's five tickets on their own separately from each other. Oh my god. Absolute nightmare situation. If there's five of you that want to go, you're not sitting with each other. Oh my god. Absolute nightmare situation. If there's

five of you that want to go, you're not sitting with each other. You're sold out everywhere. There's only a few tickets apart from Oxford. Oh, this is the big thing. I can announce this now. I'm releasing some new dates. Oh, are you? Go on then. So this is actually pretty cool. I'm doing the Palladium in London. Amazing. I haven't done a London date for a proper London date. It's at the 11th of April. So I think yes. Yes, by the time this goes out. And so it's April. Oh, it goes on sale. I was going to say you're not allowing yourself much time to sell it there. Yeah, yeah. Next year 2026. Don't make that mistake. And it's, yeah, so that and then some other dates as well. I think we're doing 2025 September, we've got Liverpool. Oh, we've got pool without

the liver. Lighthouse. Paul Lighthouse capacity 669. Enjoy me trying to guess the venue name. Okay, Liverpool Empire. Now we we're going to Playhouse. Playhouse. Poole Lighthouse. Lighthouse. Chelmsford. Chelmsford. Is that the one in that little church?

That is. That's Colchester Art Center, sorry. Oh, you'll definitely guess this, that's the Civic. We got, we got Berry St. Edmunds. The Apex. Absolutely. That is so nerdy. This is great. Andmunds. The Apex. Absolutely. It's so nerdy.

This is great. And you'll definitely get this one. Yeovil. Octagon. Octagon. No, that's shot. Oh shot, Westlands. Yes.

The one by the Airpods. Fucking losers. Fucking losers. Absolutely losers. The Westlands, the one that's out the back where it's got like, it's got an airport out the back. Airport, suburban cul-de-sac. Yeah. But you'd like think when you're going into it, you're like, this can't

be it. It feels like you're visiting your new girlfriend from uni's mom. Yeah. What the fuck? Where's the gig? Sign up to Joel Dom is mailing list that he thinks doesn't work if you want to buy tickets for those dates. Can I just say, and then we'll get back to Peryling, you do some, from what your tour manager says, there's quite high production values on your tour. Well, I like to try my best to give people like a bit of a show. It starts with an improvisational game with the audience and you pretending you're in a car.

Yeah, yeah, you've made it sound like I'm going like, guys, give me a scenario. Give me a scenario. Like, give me a word. Give me a word. No, it's like, it's really fun. Like it basically. It sounds amazing. Because I've decided, I'm not taking a tour support this time. And I learned this, Rob Beckett inspired me to do that. And so there's amazing reasons to take a tour support. But again, this year, I decided because I'm a parent, things just changed for me a little bit where I was like, I just feel like I want to...

Make more money. Deny the next generation opportunities on stage, just like Rebecca. I thought what I'd do instead was like, you know, like, it's all just that the way I put it all together has just changed a little bit because I sort of now understand finally what it means to people to get a babysitter. Yeah. And to take a night away from your child, trust them with someone else.

And that's, that has completely changed Torin for me, I think. You've put some effort in this time. Yeah. So I've actually written some. trust them with someone else. And that has completely changed touring for me, I think. You've put some effort in this time. Yeah, so I've actually written some- No, you just appreciate it. I totally agree. When me and Lou went to see that, I went to a music gig together the other night,

it was like, the fucking effort this has taken for us to do this with a babysitter, leave the house, buy a ticket, tell me you appreciate people doing it. And the money and everything like that. And again, there's no wrong or right way to do it. And I think it's great to, again, put people on the tour support and all like that. And again, this is not, there's no wrong or right way to do it. Um, and I think it's great to again, put people on, you know, as a tour support and all that stuff. I don't know if you do think that.

Oh God, I'm trying to dig my way out of it. You want to do what life's best for you. I feel like- If you want to have a big opinion on tour support, Joel, I'll have to say you didn't have opinions. But then I just feel like when, when you bring up a tour support, sometimes, you know, you can just feel people going like, ah, because my audience aren't expecting like, they're kind of like, they're, they're TV watchers, I suppose. So it's kind of, they just want to see that guy off telly that they know. Whereas other people are like, I'm going to say, who are better comedians like you, Josh. No, you're the best. They like, oh, I want comedy.

I want comedy. Whereas I feel like with me, they just want to see me talk about Masked Singer. And then- Joe, I know you put yourself down way too much. Yeah, you're so good. You're a really, really good stand up. And just because you've had super success at TV presenting and you have got other strings to your bow, doesn't mean that what you can do as stand up should be diminished. You're an excellent stand up that can also be an excellent TV presenter. So don't put yourself down. You're brilliant. Anyone that's got a ticket, they're going to laugh loads and have a great time.

So stop doing that because it's not true. You are the world's worst man at promo, Joel. I really am. I really am. If we are going to criticise anything about you. Yeah. It's so I'm so bad at it. You're an excellent comedian. And yes, stop putting yourself down. And people are Norwich are going to go fucking crazy for that. They can't get rid of you.

Yeah. And those two people in Oxford are going go fucking crazy for that. They can't get rid of you. Unbelievable. And those two people in Oxford are gonna have the time of their life. Even if there is only two of them, they've got a babysitter, yeah? As you know, Dad. Do you know what? I went to watch a show at Guilford G Live on Saturday. You went to watch one. I went to see Karen and Gorka do their Strictly Come Dancing show with my daughter.

Actually, there was this, because you know Rob Orton, the very well regarded comedian, he was in the small room. You're like, there's two rooms. And a guy, I was in the foyer and a guy came up to me, he's like, gonna watch Rob, are you? I didn't know Rob Orton was on. And I thought he was talking about Rob Beckett. Because that would be the jump you'd make if a guy came up. I was like, no. Yeah. And then he was like, you're not going to

watch Rob. And I was like, what? No, of course I'm not going to watch Rob. He's not. And he was like, Rob Orton. and I was like what no of course I'm not going to watch Rob he's not it and he was like Rob Orton and I was like oh no and I'm going to watch Karen and Gawker and this guy's like this guy was like what the fuck is wrong with it this comedian that's traveled to Guildford What do people say to you Joel when like because they come up to me and ask me where Josh is or where Ramesh is when was that the other night I went to the toilet and someone come up to Lou and asked Lou where Ramesh was which was was that? The other night, I went to the toilet and someone come up to Lou and asked Lou where Ramesh was, which was quite strange. She's getting dragged into it. What do people say to you from our singer? Where's Katie Fisher? Yeah, exactly. They're just like, yeah, where's Piranha? Maybe we should do a podcast with Piranha.

Yeah, they kind of, I don't really. They say, where's Hannah? How's Hannah? And stuff like that, because we've got our podcasts together. But I've always been bad at sort of getting a sidekick. And you are, particularly like Jonathan Ross and Davina. Do they think that you're like, come as a good friends with those people from Mars Singer and like you come as a package with them. They're like, we're all just traveling there in a camper van together. Well, fucking hell, that's a shiny suit.

I turned on Comic Relief, it was you, Davina and Jonathan Ross. So it's like, fucking hell, ITV are taking over. Yeah, it's, honestly, it's so fun Comic Relief. It's like, this is the mad thing, it's that no one tells you about the tonal changes during the show. That's the hardest part of it.

It is implicit, Joel. Have you not seen it before? Well, I know, but they don't even want to. So when you read, obviously it's a dream country. Oh, it's not written on the autocue. No, no. This is the thing, because it changes a lot. You've got to say tonal shift. That's what they do on the one show, on the autocue, it'll say tone shift.

It's like, yeah, in brackets goes sad. Yeah, for sometimes I don't know if I mentioned this before on Children in Need, I think it was and I was with the Humes Rochelle Marvin Humes. And they were supposed to do a tonal shift because they were very much in charge of tonal shifts. And then I did jokes. Great decision all round. Yeah. Anyway, we come back of this horrendous video. Yeah, Rochelle is mid tonal shift. breaks down. Fair enough. She's emotional

mother. She's got upset. Then Marvin didn't have a line because she was in the tonal shift and I was doing thing sweat. So I come in babe and hugged her. Oh, no. straight to you. And they go past the tonal and they go, Oh, no, anyone ever with a kung fu fire? You studied kung fu or something like that. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Did you do that?

You must have done the have either of you done the one show? I've never hosted it. I just find it's like an absolutely, like it's an incredible show and the viewership is unbelievable. But isn't it such a mad thing with like, they'll have the rock sat on the sofa and they'll still cut to like,

in a half an hour show, they'll still cut to like a 15 minute VT of an alpaca when they've got the rock sat on the sofa. They have the rock for the whole half hour. It's not like they go, right, we've got three minutes with the rock, right, if they're doing like those things in the hotel rooms that Alison Hammond goes to. He's there for an hour and he's sat in a room waiting and then he goes and sits and waits. And they cut to a VT of Charles Brando. And they cut to a VT of Charles Brando. Yes.

Yeah. And I, when the Hollywood agents and PR people are going to go, why are we here? But then I suppose it gets. But do they have those kind of shows in, like, I wonder whether like, you know, when you see like, what's that one with like Whoopi Goldbergs on it that's a bit like Loose Women? The View. The View. Like, is that what it's like in America?

No, not, Mel Brooks was on it. And then there's that favourite quote where he goes, what a mad show, because Mel Brooks is a legend that people in Undating would request to interview this legend and want to do deep dives for hours and hours and he's been forced to sit on a sofa with people he don't know and listen to two presenters after they go, right, so your show's back on the West End, is it? That date to that date, Brilliant. Right, now. Yeah. And he's like, what?

Imagine you're an American and you're brought in for the weekend and you do the one show and you think, that was a bit short and fast. And then you do Sunday brunch and it's six hours. Oh, my God. It's so long. It's so long. Oh, man. Let's so long. It's so long. It's so mad. Let's get back to Perrin.

This has been a lovely tour promo and just a discussion of TV General. A lot of bloke was talking about venues. Don't apologize. I want to know, the question I've got Joel, you were worried about doing, keeping on top of your fitness, having your child coming. And at this early stages,

he could just sit in a bouncer or a high chair and you could still lift weights. What's happening now that you're just chasing a toddler around the house? It's interesting because it's just, it's completely changed, obviously, my fitness schedule. I used to just go in the gym for like two hours. I used to like leave and go. I haven't been to the gym since he was born. Like I just haven't been to one, but I've got one in my garage. So I just go in there and say. Before the baby, you'd go to the gym sort of four times a week.

Physically, to the local gym, a couple of hours, four times a week, right? Yeah, when I say physically, obviously that's instead of emotionally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would go there physically. The mental dojo is an absolute wasteland, but the physical one.

Yeah, I would, I just don't, I don't go there because now I can just go into the gym in the garage and do it. And it's so fun doing it with, cause he'll just like watch me do it. Yeah. So he's just like, since he was really young and now he's got like his own little weights. And then he's like, he makes all the noises and stuff. And you get a little set for him. You can cause people will be worried.

Am I going to trip over him, drop something on him? Or is he going to pick stuff up? But if he's got his own little set, he can just copy you. Yeah. He just copies me all the time. It's so fun. Like him just like trying stuff. And then he'll watch Hannah do like Pilates as well. So like now he'll just like go into the garage,

and he'll just like get onto all fours and like lift up his leg as if he's doing some sort of pilates. Yeah, oh, that's just try and like copy us all the time. And it's, it's just, it's like, it's adorable, man. So you get into do it as much as you'd like that as adorable that is, are you a big guy? I can't properly do what I want to do it. I've just had to change it. Yeah, I just had to like adapt it. Because it's really, it's been different. So that's why I started running because it was much easier for me to go, I'm just going to pop out for like a 20 minute run, whatever, whilst he was having a nap. And then I would just like, see you later, I'm going out. And then be back really quickly. And so instead of being at the gym for two hours doing like, I'm going to do arms and chest or whatever. And, um, but then, then this is the annoying thing

that I went from like doing five Ks of like, Oh, this is quite cool. Then I went to 10K and I was like, Oh, I did half marathons. Now I've done like two marathons in the last year and it's just taken up way too much. Is it a bit of a coincidence that as he's gotten more difficult from childhood, you've started to run longer? Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's really not. It's not great now when I'm like, see you later. Do you get texts from Hannah while you're 16 miles in? Yeah. And I can hear it in my AirPods and go, text from Hannah Cooper. You finished yet?

Oh god. Yeah, I'm like, oh no. It's like, I can't, in three weeks time, this marathon is done and I'll be so happy. I feel like I can get back to properly, like my headspace of it will be so much better. So it's more like you are actually regretting it slightly because you're out too much. Where I would love to see the data of like parents and probably maybe more dads that start taking up marathon running as their children get to an age where it's quite hard work. Yeah. Because I like genuinely love like, I remember like when we spoke before on this, like you

were like, Oh, I think you're going to be like, you're going to really enjoy it. You're going to enjoy it. And I just love, I know it's really hard. It's really hard being a parent and it's completely changed my life. Obviously it fills all those gaps, all those gaps that you had before that you could, you could do what you want and do it like all of those gaps are completely full, so you have no time to do anything. Yes.

But I really fucking love it, man. But I genuinely like it just, and I know that's not what people want to hear on this podcast, but I just, it fills me with joy. Joel, we know that you've lost people want to hear on this podcast, but it fills me with joy. Joel, we know that you've lost your office to a playroom. We know that you can't do two hours at the gym. We've had enough suffering. We know how your sales are in Oxford. This is great to lift the mood towards the end.

Joel, so Hannah's working or got the day off on her own. You're in charge of the baby for the whole day or baby, boy now. Where are you going for fun? What are you doing to fill that day? This is what I need to be broken out of sometimes. And this is, we are like a real, like habit people. Like with our schedule. We like real schedule people right where we got like so into schedule that was like the baby schedule or you in us people were like that or baby's schedule right like we wake up he has the same breakfast that we've prepared at this time and then it's this and he naps exactly literally it hits like 9 30 at the

moment it's just like he's going for his you know it's like down to a tee of everything. Does that work? Well it seems to he sleeps through the night but it's like it's so that's why we're afraid of breaking it. Stop shooting because you're popping around at my house over Easter right you're coming to visit and you did say I'll come about 10 probably leave about one and I'm absolutely fine with that but in my head I was like I bet that works with the naps in the car. Yeah it says we'll leave at one and it'll sleep in the car one till three yeah and we won't transfer him because now instead what we'll do is we'll drive from your house at one it'll probably take about an hour to get back from your house yeah but then we'll just drive around for another hour. Right okay. Yeah probably. So where would you drive? We're just like you you know, like,

we're trying to sort of, we're thinking about buying a house at the moment. So we'll probably just drive around areas. Oh, God, you're gonna have to explain to the police when there's a murder. Why you were driving around the area in circuits for an hour. Just driving around areas. Oh, so you're a bit more nap dictated at the moment, which I remember that stage. Yeah, we are. And we kind of always have. And then it's like, and I know loads of people that are like, oh, we just let the baby dictate whatever and we just have a really fun time. There's no right, there's no wrong. Exactly Joel, you're not judging those people. They are judging you. That a bit of certainty is nice isn't it Joel? I'd like that. I'd like that. I just, we follow it. We just,

we get also, because I think our life is so all over the shop. Currently scheduled to do high street until 1pm and then he's back for his now. He's high street. He's just got back from high street. No, he's not sleeping high street. And then he's going to get back. He's got food at 12 and then one o'clock, he'll go down to like free or three 30 if he's enjoying himself. And then, and then yeah, so it's all like, I just, I love it. How many naps you on too? We're still on two, but like he sometimes we're just about to drop the first one, I think.

You know what you think the nap, because we had this tour both times, you think that lunchtime nap is, I need that, I need that as a break. But then you get to the point where when you drop that nap, you suddenly feel a total freedom to be able to go out and about. Do you think? Yeah. I'm so scared of dropping that nap because I use that nap to get ready.

And I use that nap to like- That is the difficult part. I'm like, I don't know when I'm gonna get ready once he drops that nap to get ready. And I use that nap to like... That is the difficult part. I'm like, I don't know when I'm going to get ready once he drops that nap. What do you mean get ready, Joel? Just like, you know... Have a shower. Yeah, have a shower.

So what nap do you use to get ready morning or afternoon? It's morning. So 9.30 to 10. 9.30? That one is more annoying. But what I mean is when you get to that final nap in the middle. All right. Okay. Yeah.

Zero naps life suddenly becomes fucking mental. Oh my God. I think Rob, there's a, there's a freedom to it. Cause you're no longer beholden to naps. I know, but they're always fucking awake as well. And that's the other problem. They're always fucking there. Yeah. That's the other problem. They're always fucking there. Yeah, that's the thing. When he's awake, it's just like constant... But you can do more stuff, you know, but then when the other one comes,

if you have another child, then you can't do it if you've got the older one that's awake the whole time. You're a bit more loose of it. But when you've got one, you get away with it. We know that it's going to fall. We know that as soon as you have another, it goes into another dimension then. I understand that that's an entirely different scenario. I'm trying to now think about, imagine if there was another one here right now. That's what I'm trying to think about. You're not having a laugh with some dumbbells at that point, Joel. Exactly. Two of them fighting over the dumbbell.

Exactly. And that's what I'm scared of. And obviously, you know, I think we want to have another, but we're scared. We're scared too, but we know it's like, you know, it's the right thing to do. It's like- There's no right and wrong. There's no opinions on this. Sean Walsh has got another one, two under two, he's got. And on his Instagram the other day, the oldest one was covered in butter and ice cream. We've got to get it. And it was the first time he'd been left

alone with both of them because his wife had gotten to get a coffee. And it was just chaos. Double check what he's called his second one though. Just so there's not a double double match. Yeah, we don't want a double but yeah, we want to double check on that. He might hit like Oscar an Oscar. Um, so yeah, so that yeah, but that that mapping does make sense because that's exactly what me and Lou used to do with like, yep, we can pop into visit between this time this time is that okay? And if people went no, I'd go fine. But that's all we can do. Because otherwise, it just ruined your whole day. we can do because otherwise it just ruins your whole day. Yeah, we like we were so in our schedule. This was last month, you know, when the clocks change and it's all like a big thing

because because we're so in our head with scheduling that it's like, how did you do it? Did you creep it along? We tried this is the worst thing we you know, on Instagram, Instagram said like, Oh, the clocks are changing, blah, blah, blah. So we'll Oh, God, it's clock's changing on Sunday, we've got to do the schedule change thing. So we tried to creep it by 15 minutes for like four days. Oh my God, you are really. We got to like the third day. And then we realized it was the American clocks change.

We'd done it a month early. What? No. So we crept it and we were like, oh, so we were putting it to bed like at six or so and then we're like, oh no, so then we had to creep it back for a month. So you are hardcore on the schedule then? Hardcore schedule, but we're also like, because we also have no... Were you not tempted to just hold your nerve on the 6pm for another month?

Which probably should have done, but then that would have meant that we would have to get up earlier. Yeah, for a month. Yeah. For a month. So it's a minefield. But like, we also know that we haven't, we haven't really got a life to ruin. Do you know what I mean? We just like that. That's what we do. We haven't, you know, we're not...

Also, if you're not, you're not, you're not, you're around in the day more, both of you, than you know, because you're gigging in the evening, mainly when you're not filming. It's like, you've got more opportunities to do that. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It works everyone,

because there's pros and cons to both. If you don't bother with all that, it's chaos, but you get to go places and do loads of stuff, but it could be carnage. But actually, if you know what you're doing, there's a little bit more control over the day, so you can pop in for a few hours, leave and also it's always a good excuse to like leave somewhere. Like if you go into like your, your auntie 60, if you've got, we better go now

because of the nap. Honestly, it's great. I really feel like it's, I like, I can't decide what I enjoy more, having a child or having an excuse to leave places. I just it's fantastic. It just completely dictates my life. Sorry, we've got to go. He's going to have for a nap. Yeah. And he's got to be sleeping. People don't even ask for details. No, sorry about kids. No one's ever going to challenge you on that. Right. Joel, Joel, it's been a pleasure. Sounds like you're surviving. And now Hannah is a mother,

though, we can ask you the question what Hannah does as a parent that you're in awe of. And she's amazing. You can't believe how great she is. Also the things she does slightly annoys you that if she were to listen, we have to get Hannah on as well to do the response episode. The um, well, she's just... The nicest man in the world. This is a challenge. This is a real challenge. I knew she was going to be a good mom. I always knew she was going

to be a good mom. That's why I picked her. But the... There he goes. He's got his dick to his toe in the Andrew Tate bomb. But she's just unbelievable. She has like an incredible patience and she's so fun as a mom. You know, like I thought I was going to be the fun one being a comedian. No, you're not fun. I'm so fun. She's so fun. She has so much fun with Wilde and she's also fit. I don't know. I panicked at the end. I panicked at the end. But no, she's just incredible. And I just, I worry, I didn't, you know, it's really, it's really hard obviously on relationships and stuff, having a kid, but I just really

enjoy how we work through it together. I just think it's really, like, I just, I love, again, Rob, you said this before when when we did the podcast before, you said you have your own little gang. And I know that's cliche that people say, but I just really love our gang. I just think it's so fun. And I really, every day I think, oh my God, imagine doing this with someone that you hate.

I know, and it's out there. It's out there and I feel so bad for anyone. But it's so hard with someone that you adore with every part of you. Yeah. Someone that you just, you know, because I've been in relationship before with ex girlfriends, you roll over in the morning and you go, Oh, fucking hell. Yeah. This again, one of us has got to pull the trigger on this. Come on. It's how you're feeling with Rob, Rob versus Rom, series seven. again, Bonobus has got to pull the trigger on this. Come on. This ain't right.

It's how you're feeling with Rob, Rob versus Rom, series seven. I've got to pull the plug on this. Exactly. So yeah, that's amazing. You enjoyed it so much. And I don't want to paint this whole thing of me like, oh my God, it's the best. I'm enjoying it so much and blah, blah, blah. And my relationship's great. It's obviously really hard. It's hard, but I love, I just, I love the challenge of it, I suppose. And the thing that annoys me about her- You're a positive person as well. If someone gave you a sandwich that had like a bit of human shit on it, you'd go, thank you.

Yeah. Yeah. I love a new cuisine. I love to try stuff. I'd probably go, at least it's good for the immunity. Yeah. This is something that she needs to stop doing. I'm going to go, come on, good stuff here. And she just, her way of making me do the bins is instead of going Joel, can you do the bins?

And I also understand that probably this has come from a past trauma of her asking me to do the bins and me not doing the bins. So what she does now is she takes the bin out, right? As in like the bin bag. And then she puts the bin bag by the door. And so the bin bag and then like, with all the bin juice, bin juice on the floor. I've got bin juice on the floor. So on the floor of the actual inside the house? Inside the house, bin juice. Oh no, that is mad. Right? And so like, I've now got bin juice,

like I've heard trying to make me do the bins. How far is the bin, the wheelie bin from your door? This is the thing, it's not even that far. Just go outside of the house and put it in the bin, man. And is it gravel, I said she'd have to put shoes on. She said she could do it in bare feet. Like a patio. You can absolutely do it in bare feet. You just go out, put it in the bin man. And is it gravel so she'd have to put shoes on? She said she could do it in bare feet. Like a patio.

You can absolutely do it in bare feet. You just go out, put it in the bin. She's done the difficult bit. I think getting it out of the actual bin is the difficult bit. And also she's still in the house and you're not in the house. It's not going to bother you if there's just a smelly bin by the door, but it will bother her. Yeah. I think it's sort of, let's be honest, it's a passive aggressive move. It's like, look at that bin. There's now bin juice on the floor because you ignored me when I said do the bins. So she has asked you to do the bins.

Well, she might have asked me to do the bins. This is the problem. I probably didn't hear. Yeah, you didn't listen. So I said to you, again, we've boiled it all down. I'm wrong. No, you're not. I think I've told this before, but my friend of mine went to the doctor's because he had

bad hearing. His wife booked him an appointment because of his hearing and the doctor checked went absolutely fine he won't be getting a lot men being sent by their wives you can all hear you just you're just using my god. That's so bad isn't it. That's really bad. Joel, good luck with the tour. Happy idea. Get extended off to London Palladium all over the country, Liverpool, Paul. And jump in quickly if you want. Where's the four tickets left? There's four tickets left to somewhere. Western Supermair. Western Supermair. No, Western Supermair is the ones where they've split them, Joel. The London Palladium is the biggie.

Yeah. That's the biggie for me. When is that end of this year? No, that's going to be 2026. So it's bloody ages away. But yeah, it's a pleasure to speak to you guys. Oh, Exeter, there's four left for Exeter. Lovely to speak to you, Joel. Lovely to speak to you.

I've been all over the shop today, this morning, and it's been nice to chat to you. Oh, cheers, mate. I'm going to enjoy the rest of the tour. Thank you, dudes. Cheers, mate. Bye. Joel Dommet.

Love Joel Dommet. What aet. Love Joe Dommet. What a guy. Love Joe Dommet. Such a great guy. So nice. He's super funny. He's so arshing himself about that. I know.

It's horrible. But then I'm arshing myself at the time. We're just fucking mental comedians, aren't we? It's painful. Me and you, Rob, we don't think we're as good looking as we are. But we're a couple of sexy bitches, aren't we? That's what I always say about you. What's Josh like?

Fuckable in real life. Right, absolutely. Really, really fuckable. Got a zesty energy about him that you just wanna undress and pick apart. Oh, he's got a butt that won't quit. He's got, yeah, he's actually got pretty good ass. Pretty good ass.

I'll see you on Tuesday. Bye.
