When your kids head out for the night, we know that their safety is important to you. It's important to us too. Toyota, for what matters most. Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Whiticum. Welcome to Parents in 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. Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with. Joshy, can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett. And can you say Josh Widdecombe?

Josh Widdecombe. Very good. There we go. I Widdicombe. Very good. There we go. I missed that because I'm currently using headphones I got given on a flight from Toronto to Fredericton, Air Canada. And that only comes out of one ear. And I had one ear in but it was the ear that didn't hear. Oh no.

Do you want to hear it again then? Well. I think you need to because clock is name. Joshy, can you say Rob Beckett? Did you get that? Josh, I'm not recording, my recording didn't even work. This is a fucking, sorry, this is, this feels like you in June 2020. Where are you for the listeners? Where are you for the listeners? I'm currently in one of, if not the best hotel in Swansea. I've been in the hotel. It's like an old man's house. Yeah, it really is.

It's nice though. It's doily heaven, isn't it? Oh yeah, yeah, it's really doily heaven, mate. There's a lot going on, a lot of stuff that's like, must be at least 35 years old. It's wild. I don't even, the showers, did you have the room in the showers? Or it looks like the three shells from demolition man? I think, no disrespect to this hotel, I stayed in Cardiff the next time. Well, you didn't want to stay in the best hotel, did you?

Let me take a photo of the showers for you one sec. I mean, quite excited by this photo of the showers. Right. Sorry about that guys. I'm going to send this to you. Have you had a shower this morning? Now you tell me, you get in at like half 11 and try and have a shower and you're tired and you get confronted with this.

What the fuck's that? What is that? That's the shower, mate. Is that for... That's how you shower at, if not the best, one of the best hotels in Swansea. I don't understand. So is that for people that need to help standing up? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, I should have done a video. There's nothing above your head. What? That's all you get. What is it? Above your head is the ceiling with nothing plumbed in. So there's a... Can you move that thing?

Big handle. I didn't know you could move it. So you showered as if you were being kind of pissed on in a pornographic movie. Yeah. They sort of looked like two little crutches, but basically it looks like a bit of a porno shower, doesn't it? Cause there's two of them with two controls. So I'm like, there's two showers here, but I don't know how to access them. But what you do is shower yourself from front and back at the same time?

No, no, you can't. Oh, I don't know if you can. No, no, you can't. No, you lift that handle up and then it comes down in your head or you, but you can move those two little bits in the middle round and make them harder or softer. But it felt like I just was in here. I was like, people have had sex in the shower and I don't care how much you clean it. You don't clean a room as much as you would clean a bathroom if it was your own bathroom and someone had had sex in the shower and I don't care how much you clean it. You don't clean a room as much as you would clean a bathroom if it was your own bathroom and someone had had sex in it. Too right. So yeah.

Anyway, trying to be a fine thing. Good to be here. Do you like having sex in the bathroom? Fuck that. Too much air. Fuck. No, not really. No, not really.

No. I don't think anyone's ever had sex in that shower Rob, because I think you're the first person under 80 who's ever used it. I'm going to get another cushion so I can prop up and see you. How are you Josh? You all right? Yeah I'm okay. Oh we need to read the thing out. I thought I could ask a question. I feel a bit manic. Are you getting that energy off me? No I've had worse. I'd say you're par. I'm par. Okay. Hi Rob, Josh and Michael. I've been listening to the podcast since the day I found out I was pregnant and it meant I might've gotten to my subconscious.

You missed the clip, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. Well, play it again now and then I can comment off the back of it. Joshy, can you say Rob Beckett? Yeah. Rob Beckett. That's weird. And can you say Josh Widdecombe?

Josh Widdecombe. Very good. There you go. I mean mean that was the worst possible one to miss. They've literally had sex, had a baby and named it after the person they listened to on the podcast. Too bloody right mate. Too bloody right. But they tried to go Joshie so it's not. Yeah, well that's because he's small isn't it?

So he was born in March 2023. You're small, I call you Josh? What? I said you're small and I call you Josh. Oh yeah, that's right. Also. I can't even bother to respond to them anymore. Fine. Job's done. My husband and I have just got back from seeing Rob on tour in Canterbury tonight. Oh, thank you very much for coming. We had a great time but shout out to my dad for a tougher than planned babysitting gig as my son woke up five minutes after we left. Here's two year old Josh saying your name is from Emma in Canterbury. There we go. Oh lovely. Did you stay in the best hotel in Canterbury? You went home. No I drove home from Canterbury. Yeah but I mean this week I'm in Swansea for two nights. So two nights in the, if not the best, the best hotel in Swansea, the best, if

not the best, one of the best, sorry, kind of, kind of remember our own catchphrase. And then I'm, well, this is quite exciting. Actually. I'm going to do two gigs in Paul and I'm staying in Bournemouth and my, lose away for a birthday, she's gone to see Beyonce in Paris with her friends. So we need to sort out childcare. So I'm basically getting my mum and dad picked up from home and then driven with the kids to, to Bournemouth to spend the weekend in Bournemouth.

Oh, that's nice. And then Sunday they take the kids back home and put them to bed. I do Southampton, get home about midnight. Job done. I've just been in Bournemouth myself, Rob, doing You Bet. Oh, it's lovely down there, isn't it? It is absolutely. I didn't know what I... It was much nicer than I thought it was going to be the beach.

I'd never been on Bournemouth Beach. Did you get there and go, why did I go to Cornwall when Bournemouth's two hours away? No, I didn't do that, no. No, OK. Yeah, no, I wouldn't even... No, no, I was just hanging out with the big three, Josie Gibson, Alicia Dixon, and Stephen Moren.

But I'd have been doing that anyway. Do you know what? That is a great first four celebs for I'm a celeb in the jungle. And if I hear that, I'm like, I don't care who else is in. I mean. Yeah, who's most like, well,

Josie Gibson's done it, haven't they? Do you know what? When I say, when you do the jungle. One of them, if it was me, Rob, I don't think the other three would matter. Surely you'd be excited. Oh, yeah. So I went, you would do the job.

I think you, I think you'd do the jungle before me because I've got a plan to do it when I'm old. Cause you sort of, no, I'm not going to do it, Rob. I've got, no, I think you'll get to about, I'm afraid of heights and I'm a vegetarian. Yeah, but I think you'll get to about 47, 48, right? No. If you're sort of a lot more older, works calm down a bit. You know, I think- Calm down is a horrible way to say it.

Calm down is a, that's a nasty way of saying it. That's a great salesperson way, if you're an agent. Yeah. You've just, look, Greg Wallace, it's just calm down a bit. That's what I'd say. It's really calm down for Dino Di Campo recently. Yeah, you've just got more free time. You know what I'm saying? Enjoy your life. calm down a bit. It's really calm down for Dino Di Campo recently. You just got more free time.

Enjoy your life. You worked hard for it to calm down like this. No, but I think in the jungle, you might, no, this is my prediction. No, I, I can tell you a million percent. I would. No, you'll get to 48 and you'll be like, fuck it. I just want to do something crazy. I'm sick of just being the straight guy.

Get me in that pit with some cockroaches. No. And then you'll be on there and then you'll have a weird bond with someone you wouldn't expect you to get on with. There'll be like a young YouTuber called 6'1 Gunner or something like that. And she's like 18 and she's from inner city Nottingham. And you think these guys aren't going to get on, but you do. I would, I would.

You both have a love of literature about Thatcher and IRA and you bond over that. Would watch. Anyway. Yeah. So that was a lovely time. Bournemouth is very nice. Yeah. So I'm quite, that's quite nice.

Yeah, that's going to be lovely. So take me, are they going to come to the gig? No, no, no. So they're getting picked up from school. So hopefully they'll get down to Bournemouth before I have to go to do the gig. And then what about the Saturday gig? No, so they'd, they'll just stay in the hotel, my mom and dad and chill out and stuff. Yeah.

She's been so, so busy. You stayed in the nicest hotel in Bournemouth? Yeah. So basically we were booked in to go to the Hilton in Bournemouth, but someone recommended a place called Nicky Hotel. This is where I stayed, Rob. Nicky? I stayed in Nicky.

It's supposed to be really nice. It's like Ibiza. Perfect. Exactly what my eight year old dad wants. Pack some MDMA, you're going to have the time of your life. No dad, pack more. Is it nice? It's very pleasant. I mean, I literally went in, watched England Loser, international friendly, ordered room service and went to bed.

So I didn't take full advantage. No. So basically, well, we could, but that was fully booked, but I've got a room there for my mom and dad because it's got a swimming pool outside and it's going to be nice wherever. So I thought that'd be great. I mean, I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there.

I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I'm not going to be able to get in there. I, we could, but that was fully booked, but I've got a room there for my mum and dad because, uh, it's got a swimming pool outside and it's gonna be nice wherever. So I thought that'd be great. And then I've got another

room in Hilton. And did you think I took advantage of the swimming pool outside? Absolutely not. No, no, of course not. You can't swim. Chloe, you can swim though, can't you? Yeah, more or less. Yeah. I'd be fine. More or less. If you saw someone, if Rose was drowning in the pool,

I'd go in, it'd be unlikely that Rose would be drowning in the pool. What if you stood next to a lifeguard? Well, I'd be livid if he or she didn't jump in. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but say you're both there. Yeah. And the lifeguard's gonna jump in because it's their job. Yeah. Do you jump in as well? I don't think there'd be any. Would that, would you? Well, it's a difficult one, isn't it? Cause you think the lifeguard should have this covered.

Yeah. But if the, if the lifeguard doesn't and you've not got in, they both go. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Terrible. Oh my God. The optics on that, Josh, you're just stood there. Awful. I got involved in a road rage incident.

Josh. I was victim of a road rage incident. Josh. I was victim of a road rage incident. Okay. Physical or verbal? Verbal. Was it nearly physical? So what I will say now, I have no idea why this person was angry with me. Is this why you've had enough of London?

Because I, I'll describe the incident, but they were so angry that after a while, I started questioning myself on whether I don't understand the laws of the road. Because what they had done was 100% their fault. But then they, I'll take you through it. Right? So I'm going along Hackney Road, which is a two, what would you call it? Like one lane going one way, one way lane going the other with cars parked on the side. Hackney Road. Okay. Do you know what? I'm going to Google map it to try and visualize it. This is fun. So it's just a road that has one lane of traffic going east, one lane of traffic going west. Yeah.

Yeah. Yep. Yep. I've got you. Yep. Yep. We've all been on one of those roads. I've been on a road that goes two ways. Yeah. Yeah. Good thing I have. You. I've been on a road that goes two ways, yeah. Sometimes along it, there's room for cars to be parked in parking spaces. Yes, yeah. I'm looking at it. Yeah, I've got it.

Yeah. So it's a two-road, yeah. And there's a bus lane one side and then some cars are parked. Yeah, there's sometimes a bus lane, sometimes a not, depending on where you're on. And it sometimes goes to two lanes that are traffic light or something. But where I was, it was one lane one way, one lane another, and then on the opposite side of the road, there was also cars parked. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. We're going east and the other side is going west. And I got, we're all chugging along at five miles an hour. And then there's a gap in the other side of the road. Like there's not traffic in the other side of the road. Yeah. So even though my road is moving and blocked, the guy swings out of the parking space on the other side of the road in our direction. To turn around and go the way you're going from the park.

No, he's already facing our direction, even though he's parked on the other side of the road, crosses their side of the road. We're all going along. We all think, well, he's just going halfway. I'm going to wait for a gap when a gap. Yeah. And he continues at me at the side of me. Yeah.

And then he slams on his brakes and then he starts showering at me. So was he, was you moving at all? Yeah. So he was waiting, he wanted you to stop to let him in. Well, literally we were just moving and he swung at top speed across the road and then slammed on his brakes and then started shouting at me. The, basically the first I like saw him is he's just swinging across the road. Yeah. And then he starts shouting at me. What does he say to you Josh? You can't, I can't hear him. Right.

Because I've got my windows up. Kids in the car or is it you? Kids in the car, but they don't really clock what's going on. Yeah, but that's horrible. So then I carry on. Yeah. And then he comes up. So is he now on the wrong side of the road next to you?

He gets in a few cars after me. Oh, right. So he gets in but behind you? Yeah, behind me. Not directly behind me. Other people carry on. He must have been fuming at them as well. Yep.

But I started by this point, I'm going, I don't think the rule of the road is I have to stop like, you might have to wait for a gap. Yeah. Also, I don't think you're supposed to park facing the opposite way to the traffic. I think you're supposed to park with the traffic. In Australia, you can get a ticket for that. So then we pull up at the lights and he pulls up next to me because it's a two-laner.

It's a two-laner. So he's not going out of his way, but he's allowed to pull up. Yeah. Oh God. And he starts leaning across and shouting. What kind of cars he got? What kind of guy is he? He's got a van rental from Enterprise. Right. And is he a big guy, small guy? No, he's got a baseball cap and a ponytail. Was it me?

I'm a hair bubble and a van away from fitting this description. Yeah. And then what's he saying? You can't hear him again. Absolutely furious. Yeah. And then admittedly, this is childish of me. Oh yeah.

I looked at him and you know, you know, when a player goes back to their old club and they score after they've been getting abuse and they do that thing with their ear, I'll cup in the cup in the ear to the crowds go, I did that to him. Cup the ear. I cut the ear. That Josh, that is, that is out of character and fucking bold in Hackney. This is classic out of towners. This happened to me and Lloyd once, right? We were driving through South East London

because he's from Grimsby and he's a cock of the walk knows everyone in Grimsby. We're out of South East London. There's fucking like road men that are like ready to go at any point. That's their entire life. And then once he like called some local wanker up that, and then he chased us up the road and then, and then we pulled over and I had to go, sorry, sorry. We had to do you Paul. It was pathetic. Oh God. So you've, you've cut the ear.

Yeah. I cut the ear. Didn't help his mood. No, that is mental. And then his lane went first because they were turning left off the road and we were going straight on. He went to the point where he was going to turn and then he just stopped and waited for me so that my lane could pass so he could have one more go at me as my lane pass.

Oh, so he didn't like get in front of you, but he just waited for you to go. Just waited while people were waiting to turn. He was like, I'm going to stop. So this guy's got to go past me. What did you do? Kiss the badge on your shirt. Or did he do? What did he do? Did he do anything else? Well, to go past me. What did you do? Kiss the badge on your shirt? Or did he do? What did he do?

Did he do anything else? Well, I went past 20, you were moving at 20 miles an hour by that point. So you're gone. Yeah, you're gone. But you were worried he was going to chase you? No, otherwise I wouldn't have cut the ear. The cupping of the ear was meant to, he must have looked like a bit weasel. It was mad, but I didn't understand what was happening.

And I was like, this guy's mad. Most road rages, they're angry about something else. But afterwards I was like, have I, I'm not stupid. Like I've drive, I understand how roads work and I very rarely, if I make a mistake and you do make a mistake, I'm not one of those drivers that always blames, I will hold my hands up. Yeah, and put them to the ear. Put them to my ear and go, I can't hear you mate.

So I've heard this, now look, don't judge me for this, it's just an explanation with Road Rager, is the energy you receive in life, matches the energy you're giving off. Now, what kind of headspace were you in? Was you having a relaxed listening to Sabrina Carpenter singing along to school? We're on Carly Rae Jepsen now, but...

Your choice, kids don't like it. Josh is just into little pop print senses. So was you amped up or was you completely oblivious and quite chilled? I was completely fine. Because I wasn't angry. Because otherwise I wouldn't have done the ear thing. Because the ear thing was basically me thinking this is funny. I'm having a right laugh. That is fun.

That is funny to be fair, but you might. It was a mistake. It was an error. Have you seen that other thing they do on TikTok is a trend where what you do is you go to someone like, it doesn't have to be a road rage can be anything, but if you go down like that on the window and you put your window down and like point down for them to put their window down, when they put their window down, you just put yours back up. I think you should have done that.

Do you know what? He was close to doing a Jamie Carragher. It felt like... Just flop it in your face. On July 18th, it's the Blue Crew to the rescue. It's smurfing time. Hefty. Can you even lift, bro?

Grouchy. I hate the radio. Quiet. There's something important to tell you. I have no in that road rage incident. dollars in PC optimum points on your first five orders. Shop now at nofrills.ca. Anyway, so I was caught in that road rage incident. Yeah. Well, that's good you didn't react or get out of it. But my dad used to have quite a lot of road rage. So I'm like, I will never even joke. I just sort of ignore them completely because I've bared witness to too many people getting out of the car. Yeah, yeah. So it stresses me.

So it annoys me when Lou goes at someone, oh, you're a fucking idiot. I go, shut up because I'll be the one fighting. So would Lou say it from the passenger seat or from the... Sometimes when we first got together, like, what the fuck, like most people do, but most people haven't seen or had to join in with a fight in their past. Yeah. So I am, so I only did it a couple of times. I just said, I cannot deal with that.

That sent that panics me so much. It's the same with like any, whenever I have any, any tour managers or taxi drivers, if they start kicking off, I'm just like, no, I can't. Absolute no. It's a bit like when Rose will kick off about someone like jumping the queue Yeah, oh, you know if you're at a taxi rank or something and someone just walks in often They don't realize there's a queue or whatever. Yeah, and then you know, I think do you know what my Reaction with that is always keep your head down. Yeah, there'll be another taxi Yeah, we depend it depends it all depends on how much bigger you are than them

Yeah, which is very rare that I'm bigger than them. Well, exactly. Same here, I'm not mumbling 5'8", but like, it is a bit like, oh, sorry, I'm a bit more, oh, sorry, the cue's starting up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let it hang. But anyway, how's parenting been going?

How's Father's Day? We had school photos yesterday. Oh, nice. And my son, he wanted his hair in bunches. Bunches? Okay. Yeah. Because, he wanted his hair in bunches. Bunches. Okay. Yeah. Cause my, cause my, cause my daughter had her hair in bunches.

Has he still got really long hair then? We had just haven't had it cut for a while. He's, he's got basically, they call it a surfer cut at the, um, at the barbershop. A surfer cut. It's basically like. Long. No, I suppose he looks like he's in like an indie band in the 90s, but not styled, but like, like Richard Ashcroft or someone, do you know what I mean?

Like that kind of. I've got you. Yeah. Yeah. So you had it in Bunches? I'm fine with this, but what I don't want to feel like is like we're trying to pull focus in the school, do you know what I mean? It's a difficult one.

Cause you want to let the kid express themselves and who gives a fuck? Cause they have long hair, ponytails, punches or whatever. You don't want to be like, you don't, you, you don't want to look like it's coming like, are we the crazy ones actually? And we're so progressive. Like I'm on TV and actually a little bit of a creative guy as it goes. I write. So when I went in, I said to the teacher, I was like, Oh, whatever you want on this.

And she was like, Oh, are you not okay with it? And I was like, no, no, no, no, I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it, but I just don't want you to feel like we're doing something. Do you know what I think the best thing is just to let it happen and not get involved. Do you know what I mean? Because it's like, you can just overthink everything,

but if it was little bunches, it was bunches. I loved it. I loved it. It's fully in favor. No, so that passed without incident. That passed without incident. Yeah, but then back, you know, about 20 years ago, if you had long hair and you weren't in bunches, a dad would go, You can't do that.

Yeah, exactly. And they'd be thinking that they were being protective of their son. Yeah, yeah. And how was your father's day? My father's day was very pleasant, actually. You sounded like the poshest, oldest man I've ever heard. I know, awful. My father's day was very pleasant, actually. sounded like the poshest, oldest man I've ever heard. I know, awful. My father's day was very pleasant actually.

I had a wonderful little afternoon and the girls came around and had a little picnic at Victoria Park. It's terrible there now with the walls and the music and the noise and the selfie hunters at the bakery. So we had, what did we do? We went into town, we went to watch Nick Cope, who's a musician, kids musician. Oh yeah. Loves that.

He does songs. He's on CBeebies. He does songs. They loved it. It's great. And then we went to the Lego shop. What? No, I love him. I love him. songs, they loved it. It's great. And then we went to the Lego shop. What? No, I love it.

I love it. You love it. Fair enough. Yeah. Lego shop. Nice. What'd you get? Anything for you?

No, but I almost bought a Krusty burger thing. Oh, the Simpsons one. Yeah. I actually got that as a present forefathers day. Did you? Yeah. Did you? Have you started making it?

No, I'm still, I've got a few other ones I'm still on. I'm currently doing the Keith, is it Keith Herring? Is he an artist? Oh yeah, the people, the kind of not stick men, but like, Yeah, the illustrations of colored, colorful people. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna say colored people, but it sounded like a racist from the 50s. But I mean, basically they are sort of illustrations of a yellow person. Oh God, Sam Worse. That's quite, so how's that done in Lego?

Um, God, this is real, I just can't see myself twice. They are, there's an orange person, a green person, blue, yellow, pink, and it's all in weird little shapes. It's quite cool actually. Yeah, yeah. Cause I make Lego, but I don't really like having it out. But Lou went, Oh, that one looks quite cool actually. Put that on the bookshelf.

Oh, there you go. That exists in our house now rather than being broken down. Do you remember saying that about Krusty Burger? No, Krusty Burger would not live on the side in our house. Just going to pop that on the table as a centerpiece. It's a Krusty Burger Lego set from the Simpsons. So we went for lunch and then we came home and they did Lego in the afternoon. And you do go Lego is expensive, but it really, when they're into it, it's such like you've got four or five days.

They've just been obsessed with these. Well, the problem is you what you need your kid to be shit at it for it to be worth the money. Yes. Yeah. If they're too good at it. now I am too good at Lego. Yeah. I'm a pretty humble guy, but I can back myself and I back myself.

Yeah. Five a side football with 40 year old people. I'm a monster. Yeah. Anyone below 40, I struggle, but I can back myself when I know the situation. Yeah. Okay. So Lego, I'm whipping for it.

So you need your kids to sort of, it's almost worth getting on one that's like the level above. Yeah. So they, I'm whipping for it. So you need your kids to sort of, it's almost worth getting one that's like the level above. Yeah. So they keep going at it. Cause if they whip for it too quick, you're like, that's quite a lot of money for three hours. You could have to play a lot with that. Yeah. If you actually look at it, if you break that down per hour, it's

an incredibly high hourly rate. It's like a hundred quid set there and you've done that in three hours, 33 pounds an hour. We could have hired someone to, we could have hired a kid's entertainer for an hour maybe. Yeah. That would have been worse though, to be fair. Yes, we don't need that. How's your parenting been going, Rob? Parenting's been a bit mental. How's your father's day?

Slight broken record because I've just been working so much. It's like, like Lua had to calm me down. I'd like a father's day was really good, but on the, was it Monday or Tuesday? Can't remember what day it was, but Monday, basically cause I'm away on tour and you, you know this, and I think if anyone works away, I'm getting all the work away done where obviously I'm gigging and then I've got voiceover jobs, I've got other jobs and stuff like that and doing the podcast and all these bits and bobs.

It's like all the normal life admin stuff, like paying invoices or renewing that, or speaking to the accountant or making sure that that, that insurance has been redone and all that. And I just weren't getting any of it done. Cause I'm, you know, like I'm in Swansea, all over the place, you know, York and Reading and it's so hard to keep up on that. And I just got so overwhelmed and I had to go somewhere and like then I had to go here, hit that and I was like, oh

And I was getting all stressed with Lou and then Lou took me to the cafe and calmed me down I was out on the verge of a slight panic attack, you know, you know, yeah, you're too much I was like, and I didn't even have that much to do but I needed someone Admin is the thing that really sends me over the edge Yeah, and it just all feel and it all becomes this big monster looming over me, breathing down my neck. And then I feel like- That's unfair on Lou, isn't it? No, she was amazing.

She's so good like that. Well, I think that's what works well with us though. We're both like, when one of us is having a bit of a flurp, normally the other one's in a decent space to sort of take the reins and be the sort of, you know, the guide. So yeah, she sat me down. She sat me down. We shared a chicken baguette in a calf and a coke tearo.

Write down everything we needed to do and then sort of went through it and did it and had a sort of like a couple of hours to sort it all out. Cause it was just too much, you know, it just gets overwhelming. I don't know how people with normal jobs, by which I mean nine to five, and you can't just be on your own emails. So if you work in a shop or if you work in a, you know, a physical job, wait, like, everything's done on emails and messages. I just don't know how they stay on top of everything. Do you know what? Cause the amount of stuff that bleeds into my, Oh, I'll just do

that instead of doing right on my standup. Do you, again, I can do that. I, I've got a gig tonight, but I've got to do this thing with the accountant. That's what's happening to me slightly. Cause I'm on stage for two, like two hours every night. And I, and also before and after that, I'm on stage for two hours every night. And also before and after that, I'm trying to get ready for the show. Yeah, you're not going to be fucking paying a parking fine at 7.25.

Exactly, from 6pm to 10pm, he's like, I'm doing that. And then I've been doing voiceovers. You're not going to do anything after 10pm as well, because you'll go mad. I'm still trying to work out the fucking shower works,, you know, if not the best one of the best hotels in Swansea. And then if I do like five hours of voiceover, like I'm on the train, so I can't really talk freely and do that. And then I'm in a VO booth for five hours. It just sort of all builds up.

So it's just, it was one, it was fine though. It was just one of them. But, um, and I've been like, I'm going to Indonesia with Ramesh. I've had to have rabies. I've had three rabies jabs. You've had rabies jabs? No. So then I won't be getting any admin done then.

Um, but Father's Day was really good. Actually. It was nice. They let me have a lie in and then I went downstairs and made me breakfast. Then we went for, um, a nice pizza. Do you find there's too much pressure on that lion to really enjoy it? Like, I feel like this is it then. I bet.

Well, I sat lying. I was up a quarter past eight. Yeah. I mean, it's like, it was just that it's better than off six, seven. Yeah. But then, but then this is the best. But I came back and I was like, we went to this pizza place. The girls had done those as like nice things for me and the cards. I'm going over a plane loudly.

And sorry. How hot is your house, by the way? It's like we were in a heat wave and you look warm. It's fucking tough. It's my daughter's got a like a wheelie aircon unit that is so heavy you can't wheel it up the stairs. So are you still on your daughter's floor? No, no, I'm back in my bed. Right, that's good. So you're good now. Oh, God. Yeah. So our bed arrived, Rob. New bed, new bed. So we

dismantled the old bed for the new bed to arrive. And then we thought they were going to put it together. Obviously, they weren't going to put it together. Okay, they just delivered it just delivered it. This is 5pm. And we're like, we can't we tried and we're like, this is this is not because of the complex complexity, but And this is at 28 degrees. No, it was, it was all right last, at that point. But we were like, this is a three, because you need people to hold

bits, do you know what I mean? Yeah. So went on air tasker, my old friend. Oh yeah. Got three men round. They were around within an hour. Really? Yeah.

And they just did it. They just did it. That is pretty good. Yeah. Cause I thought you staring down the barrel of back on the floor. I was, I lost my shit. I just said, I'm, I feel like I'm never going to sleep in my own bed ever again. I can't.

What was you on the floor for? Well, it's been on and off, hasn't it? Yeah, for what feels like a fucking year. I reckon't. How long have you been on the floor for? Well it's been on and off hasn't it? Yeah, for what feels like a fucking year. I reckon it's been, I think I've been mainly on the floor or in my or in a bed with my daughter at uh on holiday or when we're in airbnbs. So is all the all of the refurb done now? The house is done? Just the garden now, which is a two week job. Right, okay, yeah, but the house is done? Yeah. Well, that's good.

Well, look at my road. And you was good, because you was just gonna get it all done before Christmas. Yeah, I know. So it's good to know that, you know, middle of June, you're back in, rearing. Ready for the heat wave. Ready for the garden to be done in August.

Exactly. Perfect. I tell you what I did have though though on Father's Day, I had a three hour nap in the afternoon. What? I was so tired. Honestly, I've been so exhausted. From a pizza, because you'd had a pizza.

I had a pizza and then I got home and the kids were like hot chocolate. So I made them these hot chocolates. And then I was all, they got me like a box of chocolates for, and I thought I have a couple of chocolates. Like it was like a, like a Kit Kat and then some biscuits. I had that and I went, I'm going to have a little lay in the front room. Had a little lay down, fell asleep, woke up after an hour and a half. And I just know they're all upstairs, I think doing their homework.

And I just stumbled around the house. No one was about, I found a toffee crisp on the side. Just went, I'm having that. I ate that. What a full one. Full one. What a whole toffee crisp. Yeah.

Just went bang, ate a whole toffee crisp, right? After having a Kit Kat junkie and biscuits, then I went back and laid down, slept again for another hour and a half. Fucking hell. I felt unbelievable. Where had you been the night before? No, only we'd been, oh, I'd gone out for a bit

of dinner with Lou because it was a birthday. Otto, it wasn't even like you'd got him at 2 a.m. from. No, mate, I, honest, I. You must be broken. I felt so boring because I'm, my, I am so fucked at the moment. I love it. Just so stretched, but I've got, it calms down. When do you stop being stretched? Death?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So stop being stretched. Probably when I touched down from Indonesia in July. In July. Yeah. In July. I'd say two or three weeks. Because you're not gigging over the summer, are you?

No. So I've got no tour shows over July and August. I've just got a little, little bits and bobs, which are really easy to do. And then when does the tour finish? Uh, let's not bog down by that detail. No, next. So no, the actual tour I've got is fine. I just need a little bit of a break in the summer to get my head around stuff. I'm just struggling with working in the day and working in the evening.

It's just unrelenting because it's like I'm up at six. If, if you do a tour show and you've done stuff in the day and working in the evening. It's just unrelenting because it's like at six. If you do a tour show and you've done stuff in the day, you feel, I know this sounds, It's so hard. You feel so, a weird level of manic. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So, and the show's all been going well, but I'm just, I'm just like conking out. But most of my days have been me getting up probably about quarter to seven, seven, either doing the school

drop or getting ready for the school drop. And then, if I'm doing the school drop, it's because I'm not needed in London, but if I'm not doing the school drop, then I'm getting picked up by a cab at about 8, half 7, 8 to go up to the station to get to London. And then I work all day in London on stuff. And then I get a truck., so yesterday I was, I was in town at like nine doing voiceover all day, then I had to have a meeting and then a clothes fitting. Then I'm on the train to Swansea. Then I'm doing Swansea. Then I've gone to bed, woken up, now we're doing this at nine. And then I've got Swansea tonight. Do you know what I mean? So it's just like a bit of a conveyor belt of stuff. It's getting

better. But yeah, that sounds intense. But then I feel sorry for Lou as well, because she's having to deal with the kids all on her own. Do you know what I mean? And how are the kids dealing with you being away so much? Or are they seeing enough in the mornings? You are being enough of present parent, but it's just- I'm trying, but then it's yeah, it's just like, they are

struggling a bit. You can tell they're- because like the other day, I was in Redditt, I did Redditt on a Saturday, come home, we had a lovely day Sunday. And then I'm like, right, I've got a night so it gets to four o'clock. I'm like, I've got to go. And they're like, I don't want you to go dad. And it has, I, you know, is this, I'm, I'm this year I'm away for a hundred, like 115 nights away in hotels. So, but yeah, but it is just, you know, I'm not, I don't want to sound like I'm

whinging because I'm very lucky to get to do it, but it is just difficult for the kids when they're not, you know, you're not there for them. And there must be loads of people that do shift work, night work, or they go away, oil rig work and stuff like that. That understand it was military stuff where you're away for long periods of time, but, um, but yeah, that's fine. It's just, yeah, it's just part of, you know, it's got to be done. And it's got to be done.

Rob, you're contractually obliged. Then I've got time off in August. Then you've got time off in August. And you're going to have some fun in August? We're going to have some bloody fun, mate. Don't you worry about that. Too bloody right. That's a fun, bright summer.

Are you going to have a bright summer? Do you know, I've got a lot of, I'm not going to have a bright summer. I just want a fucking sleazy, snoozy summer. That's all I want. A couple of things I want to talk to you about. Yeah. The tooth fairy. Not again.

Well, no. Not our old friend, the tooth fairy. The old friend and the tooth fairy. So it'll trigger one. The tooth fairy. Not again. Well, no, not this is- Not our old friend the tooth fairy. The old friend and the tooth fairy. So it'll trigger one of the tooth fairy. Why a nine-year-old is just basically like, are you and- like, she's got her last tooth

come out and she just went to me. Are you and mum the tooth fairy? Are you lying to us? Because I don't think the tooth fairy exists. I'm like, well, believe what you want to believe. That's a really difficult answer. Because it's like, hey, it's dangerous. I can't be drawn on that.

You know, because obviously this, at nine, they're old, man. I think with all those kinds of things, secondary school is the one where they can't be going to secondary school thinking it. Do you know what I mean? But I think they know. But it's like, well, why, you know, but I just go, well, believe what you want to believe. But she's like, absolutely.

Like, how does Easter Bunny even work then? Well, yeah. I've totally got to Santa yet. No, but I think that's because it's so amazing and special that they don't want to press it. Yeah, that's what I think. And then I think they know and they don't want to press it. Yeah, that's what I think. I think they know and they don't want to. The Tooth Fairy is so fucking underwhelming anyway.

I just think, if we spoke about this before, Easter Bunny should not be a thing. Tooth Fairy, I just think. Marginal. No, I don't think it's needed. It could just be, I don't know, you know, I could be swayed either way on that, but Easter Bunny should fuck off, mate. Yeah. This little fucking rabbit coming around giving all the kids chocolate.

Like, the fuck? You know what I mean? At least like, Father Christmas is from St. Nick, it's a Satan and old story, years go by. I swear Easter Bunny only come around because of that fit caramel bunny. I'm sure it's not. It feels like one of those things where you go, you know it's an American thing like Halloween, where it's just coming. Well, I know that Coca-Cola turned him red. Yeah, I don't know whether that's an American thing like Halloween, where it's just coming. Well, I know that Coca Cola turned in red.

Yeah, I don't know whether that's, I've heard that's not true. Yeah, but also as well, it's weird in every different country. There's all the fucking little troll bastards in Scandinavia that like Father Christmas barely pops up. Exactly, mate. But yeah, so she's bang on it with that. And I'm too tired and too, I told you when, did I tell you that she- So what did she say when you kind of said nothing? When she keeps saying, oh, well, seven-story school says this, seven-story school, and I'm too tired and too, I told you when did I tell you that she. So what did, what did she say when you kind of said nothing? When she keeps saying, oh, well, someone's at school says this, someone's at school and I'm just like, all right. Yeah.

Okay. Well, that's what they think. That's what they think. You believe what you want to believe. Yeah. Anything else she asks you, you give a firm and definite opinion. But they're just, I've got no, my brain capacity at 8am. Dad, can we have Haribo for breakfast?

Well, if that's what you want, you know, you eat what you want to eat. I just, I've just got no, my brain power at the moment at 8am is none. I've got nothing in the locker to try and explain or, or, or, or be clever and bob and weave, because what happens is as the kids get older, they get way more intelligent, way more smarter, way quicker, way faster. And I am on a slow decline. We all are. Slow is an interesting word as well.

I don't think anyone gets whip sharper per 50, do they? Whip sharper per. Whip sharper. But yeah, so that I've got that. I told you when she hoodwinked me into more breadsticks, didn't I? No. So when she was like, Oh, can I have more breadsticks? I went, no, you can't have more breadsticks.

You had a toast for breakfast. You've already had breadsticks. If you want some snacks, have yogurt or fruit. Right? Yeah. And then she's like, okay, cool. Or maybe if I have a banana or maybe the banana or the watermelon or the breadsticks or more watermelon or banana. I went, yeah, have that if you want. But you know, she's coming with breadsticks. And I was like, what are you doing? She went, well, I said breadsticks. I went, no, you didn't. You said watermelon, banana. My mum was there. She went, no, I did think like, why did you agree to that? Cause she definitely said breadsticks in the middle of all that. Did you say breadsticks really quick in between banana and watermelon?

She went, yep. That's not fair. But I'm just like, I'm just like a lamb to the slaughter. I can't. Yeah. Do you know what? Also at that point, presumably you just gave up, right? Yeah. Do you know what happened the other day? Right? I've been really, really busy. I had to take for the dog for a walk. Right.

And I've been so busy and like people wanted a lot from me kind of thing. Yeah. I was walking the dogs. It was eight, seven, seven 30 in the morning. Cause I had to walk them before you went out. It was a lovely day. The sun was cut out really bright in the sky. The dogs were loving it, behaving and running around.

I was listening to Gabrielle started crying. Sorry, what? Yeah. Dreams? Out of reach. Out of reach. You started crying. Yeah. Gabrielle. Didn't even feel sad. What? Did you put it on yourself? Didn't even, well, I've got that, you know, the DJ guy on Spotify. Oh, right. Stuff on. Now, the fucking algorithm's in my head, right. Stuff on now. Now the fucking algorithms in my head. Right. The algorithms treating me like I'm a guest on Stephen Bartlett. So I'm like walking along, bang it on. It's just like, it's sunny.

The dogs are jumping around. There's a nice breeze. And I felt so calm and so relaxed. And just like, I don't know if you were calm and relaxed. I don't know what I was. It feels like you were the opposite of calm and relaxed. No, but it wasn't like, it was just like, my eyes just tight. Like I was just, just relief thing.

I think doing the, my job is so much pressure to deliver. It was too much. When you go out every night and there's 2,000 people there like, right, oh my God, you have to give so much of yourself to like make sure that's because you're the responsibility. They've got babysitters, they've paid money and it's, you give so much energy. I just felt so exhausted. I was just like, I don't know what happened, Josh. And it just, how rich. I don't know what happened. Get to Toronto's main venues like Budweiser Stage and the new Rogers Stadium with Go Transit.

Just to get in the cab and I was so scared I just cried. And then sometimes the cab driver

looked at me and by the end I just gave up and just sat there crying and then got to the s— Unlike things you'd see in a cab. Then I got to the TV shoot and I just wiped my walked in and cheeky buggered with Apple and Pears. Rob, my room is so hot. I've got to have to open this window is fucking mental for the window. Is it loud out there? What's difficult to tell at this stage? Cup your ear to the world.

There's a road rage driver. Cup the ear. Right. Oh, I've got another couple of things I wanted to run past you, right? Oh my God. So I... Why is it suddenly a flight path? Well, your house. You hate London now, don't you? I don't hate London now. We had the red arrows go past on Saturday. Oh, what for trooping the colour? Yeah, they go over us to get to wherever they're going. Central London, presumably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh nice, yeah, probably coming from East Anglia, I imagine.

Yeah, that's right. Over your way. Oh my god, that gust. Is that pretty? He's good, you look hot. Look at me. You're so wet, you look like you've just been born. That is all sweat.

Josh, what's your opinion on this? Right. I signed up to an estate agent probably about six years ago to look at a house once, right? Yeah. Never, it was in a random place. So I've never, you know, that was their area. Got an email.

Hi Rob, you know, stupid automated thing. Yeah. Blah, insert name of estate agents. I'm having our annual cricket match between the three offices. Would you like to attend? No, I would not. What the fuck is that? Like I get it with, it's like, if it's your like the local school or something

you have a bond with, like no one likes a state agency. But three branches of Foxdon's going up against each other. You might have a dentist you love, right? Because your kid had a brace and you went there every week. And you know what I mean? There might be a doctor's surgeon or something that's got a bit of an affinity or the local hospital, the fucking... No, everyone hates them.

It didn't even put your sail through? No, I just went and looked at one house. Now I'm going to go and watch them play cricket. Yeah, so it's not like they've, they've, they've looked after your properties. Well, it's a fun day for the family. As you've moved up the property ladder or whatever, they've literally just once shown your house. Yeah, fair enough. Have a family fun day. And it's like an

internal thing for the staff. Why the hell would you? It's like getting an email from the bailiffs. Hello, it's the civil enforcement bailiffs officer here. We evicted you once. We're having a little family kickabout if you, it's like getting an email from the bailiffs. Hello, it's the civil enforcement bailiffs officer here. We evicted you once. We're having a little family kick about if you fancy it. What would Lou say if you said you were going? She'd go, what? She'd be like, what, what?

She'd, I think she'd worry for me. Are you okay? Look, do something sensible, like walk the dog and cry. Yeah. Don't go and watch cricket. There are two about, there's a couple of other things I need to run past cry. Yeah. Don't go watch cricket. Oh, there are two about that. There's a couple of other things I need to run past you. Yeah.

One, do you, is yours kids have YouTube kids? We stopped it because it was sending her a bit mad. Yeah. Because I'm not the content. I know that the content is obvious. The content was fine, but the endless scroll of it was problematic. Yeah. That's the, so my daughter wants it because all the kids at school got it.

She's like, can I feel left out? I don't know what they're talking about. It's so difficult stuff like that. So I don't know what to do about that. But if anyone's got any advice on YouTube kids. YouTube kids, watermelon or banana? Did she say that? Basically, yeah.

And then before I know it, scrolling. If anyone's got any advice on how to set that up so that they can watch things, because I don't mind the content It was like my daughter wanted to watch hamster videos and you're like, yeah, that's great Yeah, and before but it's not like then you go and then she's watching Man being beheaded. It wasn't that kind of problem. It was She was in this weird mind Thing of endless scroll even though the content was alright.

So we were kind of, it was almost like the medium was the problem rather than the... But then it switches slightly because they'll watch one that's like, oh a hamster video from this woman and then all of a sudden they like that one. So then the next video is that woman doing something else. Yeah, like having a three way with two kind of... Two hamsters. Yeah, two hamsters. But yeah, so if anyone knows how to set that up so that they can still access okay content, but it's not very hot, that'd be helpful.

And the other thing I found, I tell you what, I found my daughters were talking to an AI bot on Roblox. No. Just like a chat GPT thing, but just chatting to it like a friend. Right. And it was like, Hey, what's your, what's your name? They'll tell her it's name. What are you doing today? And I was like, I'm on holiday. I'm going swimming. Oh, wow. That's so cool. Why don't we, I put on my virtual swimsuit and hit

the pool too. And they're like, yeah, great. And just chatting shit. Like, and then, and then I was like, think that like, our parents were going, he just plays Diddy Kong racing for six hours. Yeah, I know, but these people, but the AI bot is talking to them like a human. No, no, no, I'm not, I'm not, I agree with you. Oh my God. But I wonder whether I'm being, do you know what I mean? I question whether we're just being old in the same way that, not that my parents were like-

Yeah, but the bit is weird, mate. So it's like, they're going like, they're chatting like friends and she's like, Oh, you know, I'm doing this day, I'm doing that. And I said to him, I said to him, and then I said, well, you can always message me if you just want to chat. And they were like, Oh, sometimes you don't reply straight away. But these bot is replying in seconds. Because I'm doing voiceover for five hours because Gemma

Collins is going on a date. Someone needs to make a joke about the way Kerry Katona is holding her straw during a date. Mark the Beast LeBette from the chase is on a date. I need to chat about that. I can't respond to you at the moment. Yes, I am working a lot this year and I'm going to miss your sports day and both of your school plays. Yes, correct. But don't worry about that. The Beast needs commentary and I'm going to miss your sports day and both of your school plays. Yes, correct. But don't worry about that. The beast needs commentary.

I'm going to have to close the window. Oh, we're getting to the end. Because someone's now playing a repetitive beat. Oh, can you hear me? I can't even hear that. No, but it's been blocked out by Zencaster. We've got mega sports day next week. Oh, yeah.

We've got hell of a week next week, Rob. Well, it'll be this week when people are listening to it. We've got my son's nursery sports day next week. Oh yeah. We've got hell of a week next week, Rob. Well, it'll be this week when people are listening to it. We've got my son's nursery sports day on Tuesday. And then Friday we've got a school concert. And then in the afternoon is my daughter's sports day. There's a fucking helicopter coming over. This is mental.

Feel like I'm in an apocalypse now. Escape from L.A. Yeah, then we've got sports day and then we're going to Glastonbury. Oh my god, you're going to Glastonbury with the kids? No, no, no, directly from sports day. So we... Another pair of parents are going instead of sports day. Tut, tut. Ooh, that.

Now, I feel guilty and I'm having to actually work. They just want to go and get fucking pissed a bit earlier. Exactly. Anyway, we're going to Sports Day and then we're going to get the train down because I do not want to drive out of London at 3.30 on a Friday to go to Glastonbury first of all. It's, you know what I mean, at Glastonbury, it's fucking hard to enjoy yourself there. Oh, tell me about it. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, it's rainy, it's horrible. Oh, now it's too hot. Fucking picketet what's it got to be exactly 23 degrees? Rob can I tell you something? I prefer it when it's raining. Really? Well I like I can't handle heat so if I can handle rain because I can put on a coat. Is this so wrong with you

of heat because you do when you're hot. Look how pale I am. You know, but just because you're pale doesn't mean you can't handle heat does it? Well, I'm just bad in heat and I'm incredible in the cold. Like my mother-in-law is constantly fuming at how I don't need to put on a coat in winter. Right. Yeah. Do you know what? I very, very rarely ever see you in a big coat. Yeah, I can't wear it.

It's always a spring coat. The things I can't wear. Let me run you through. Woolly jumper, fucking right off. I can't do a thick jumper. A thick jumper is meant, you know, like, fit load chopping logs in a Christmas video, one of those fucking out. I'm fucked in one of them.

I'm the same. I always think they look great at Christmas. I'm like, what mad bastards got that on? And then the Christmas jumper, you know, when you do a TV thing and they're like, can you put on this funny Christmas jumper? And then within two seconds, it's, I'm dripping with sweat. I'll tell you what, enjoy the You Bet Christmas special because you'll see Bobby being one of them.

And then, and then woolly hat. We've discussed that I can't do it because my ears are hot and I fall asleep. And just wear that to bed. You thought about wearing it to bed? You what? Well that's not the duvet over my head. It's fine. Yeah, but then you won't have to do the duvet.

I'm having problems in this weather, Rob. This weather, I've got my legs out the bottom, but still the duvet over my head. So you just have a thin sheet in this weather. Yeah, it's a thin sheet, which I have over my head. And then basically my whole body out except my head which I have not over my head. Yeah. And then, basically my whole body out except my head. Just a sheet over my head, like I've been killed. And someone's like trying to preserve the kind of... This is what makes me laugh.

When we go on TV shows to promote these podcasts, which we very rarely do, and they go, we've got parent experts, Rob and Josh, and you've got your head in a do-van and I'm walking around with the dogs crying to Gabrielle. So we've got no idea what we are struggling through. And our life we've got an easy life. Yeah. So anyway, do email him what items can't you wear? Right. Let's do small business. Oh, this is going out too late. I've fucked up by the way. I'm gonna put it on my Instagram today. Shell's doing a charity walk. I said I'd put it out there. She'll have already

done it by this point. Can I say it? Can they retrospectively donate? I think they probably can. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. The only two people she's told and have sponsored her are me and her boyfriend. It's an absolute write off. But she said, can you put it on? And because she's provided a lot of content for the podcast, here we go. She's doing it for a hospice that has no funding and they need all the funding they can get, which is the Wilen hospice w I ll en dash hospice

dot org dot UK. What I'll do, go onto my Instagram and I'll redo it on the parenting how today. I'll put it on the stories. There'll be a link. Do sponsor her because she's a great person. Then she says, can you post a link on Instagram, which I haven't done. If everyone donates a pound to your legendary nanny, nanny mate, there'll be a lot of money raised to provide end of life care. So there we go.

That's my small business. That's lovely. Okay. I've got here. I've got one here. Hi there. After hearing about Rob joining Lou for a former Pilates, I wanted to get in touch with you now about my small business, Sue Lesolais. That's S-O-U-S-L-E-S-O-L-E-I-L. Sue Lesolais. Is that how you say it? Is that like Cirque du Soleil? But Sue Lesolais. What does that mean you say it? Is that like Cirque du Soleil? But Sue. What does that mean?

The sun? We sell quality, cool, but affordable grip socks for yoga and pilates. Our Instagram is sulesoleil.apparel and our website is sulesoleilapparel.com. I've created a 10% discount code for listeners, which is parenting hell, lowercase, which can be used in conjunction with our bundle offer too. Thanks for the podcast. I don't have kids, but listen from the start and it always brightens up my week. Thank you, Lucy. There you go. So if you're

in need of grippy socks, Sue Le Soleil, what I would say is if you are wanting to go to Pilates and before you commit to slippy socks, grippy socks, you can always use the ones you've got from the trampoline parks. Still angry, still angry. So you can get a bit more of a use out of them after being forced to buy different ones. There we go, Josh.

There we go. And I will see you on Friday when we've got a guest. Do you know who that guest is, Rob? Me neither. I'll see you then. See you there.
