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, you'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. Well, I'll do the main intro, but just to set the scene, you're in a hotel. You came onto the Zoom eating porridge and you're tired. That couldn't be a more perfect way to start. naps yesterday. Okay. We should be tired then. I'm definitely not well.

I felt weak on stage on Saturday night. Should I do the intro? Then we'll get back to this. Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with... Juno. Can you say... Joe. Rob Beckett.

Rob Beckett. And can you say Josh Whittuckett? Josh Whitigone. Well done. Juneau. Very efficient. Good name. It's my three-year-old daughter.

Juno saying your names. I've been a listener for many years and in waiting to get a cracking record from, you used to the word cracking from Juno. She didn't disappoint. Lots of love to you guys for keeping me entertained on the car journeys to my job as a hospice nurse. Jade,

keep it sexy and relatable, Jade in Somerset. Jade in Somerset, Juno. It was a film about Juno, isn't it? It was a film about a teenage pregnancy. Bodes well, Jane. Exactly. And then it's a song by Sabrina Carpenter About the film

Juno is the goddess of marriage and women Serving as Rome's patron goddess As daughter of Saturn And wife of Jupiter She earned the title Queen of the Gods While Mother in Mars and Vulcan What the fuck's that? What does that mean? I don't know what that mean.

I really struggle with Greek gods I've got no interest Oh he's so bloody xenophobic What do you want? Good British gods Yeah Yeah. St. George. It's your favourite.

What's the difference between a saint and a god? They're similar vibes, but they just call them God's in Greece. No, a saint is an an anointed kind of person. But then if you're in a saint, right, then we're going to get that. A God is an all-encompassing power. So imagine the difference between an agent and an act. Right. So you're the saint and the agents to God.

Yeah. So, no, but what about if you are religious in, like, you are into Christianity in Greece, which they are and all the orthodox. I think they are. Yeah, I think so, yeah. So what doesn't it get offensive to God God, if you're talking about other gods?

Yeah, I don't know on that. I don't actually know what the ancient Greece, as I said, it's never floated my boat, the ancient Greek gods. Do you know what's mental is? There's like adult people out there that know all this. We got given when we went to Greece, in our hotel, Greek god top trumps and my daughter played at the whole way home on the aeroplane.

So she probably knows more about Greek gods than me. Get her on. Get her on. She's at school and I'm in Newcastle. But apart from that. You weren't eating porridge on arrival, which is a night left. He arrived at five to nine. What time did you order it for?

A quarter two. Well, you're pushing you up there, aren't you? Even at quarter two, there's an argument that's not long enough to eat porridge and clean your mouth out as Michael, who edits this now. because he immediately said, do you have some water to wash out the clag? I'm not in the fucking mood for people attacking me today. Well, I'm not attacking. Actually, I'm attacking you. Yeah, but you start trying to chat to a cement mixer, just globbling around in your mouth. Well, I needed some energy, so I made the decision to get pouring.

What time did you wake up? Oh, I didn't set my alarm, and I woke up at quarter past eight. I couldn't believe it. Josh, you're moaning about being tired. You've had a lying, and yesterday you had two naps, and you've got no children to look after. Not well, and I got in at half one last night to Newcastle. Right, okay. Where was you in last night?

Oh, fucking hell. Scunthorpe. Did you do the old joke? What, old joke? The classic, if someone's being annoying in the crowd in Scunthal. Oh, no, I didn't, because they weren't being annoying. They were lovely. Oh, but you put the, you put the in Scunthal.

No, I just, you know, it's not really. You don't do that. It would be a real change of gear from my fare to sudden. suddenly do that. Yeah, I know, I think they'd have to be really being out of order. You couldn't just crowbar that into a loving, lovely audience. No, no. None of whom were from Scunthorpe.

So have you got Newcastle tonight? Yeah. Monday night. How are these, Mondays, because you have to do it because of last night. How are these Monday night gigs? Do you know what? Monday in Landudno was like one of the best gigs at all. Like Saturday in Hull.

I know. I couldn't believe Monday and Landon know was so good. But then I did do, no, but then I did. Monday in Torquay last week and that was lovely. So, right. Look, full disclosure, I'd like to do Fridays.

Yeah, you're definitely not suggesting Mondays is the way forward. I wouldn't say that not doing Fridays is anything other than slightly frustrating for me. But that is the cards I've been dealt by having a job that...

It's a Friday night. It's a Friday night. Yeah, but then also, It's quite a nice little bonus. Like, oh, cheeky little Monday night out, a bit of comedy. Because it's not like a tiring night out comedy. It's not like you're going out to like the whole train is. It's a real fucking trudge. See, and you're ill.

I think everyone's ill. To be fair, the whole beck, the morale of the Beckett's this morning was low. Really? This time of year is really depressing, isn't it? I'm dipping for the line in terms of, I've got six tour shows left. Yeah, for this year. For this year. That's not much.

Cool. Why is it as well? Have you got a work on in December or something then? Or do you just wanted to finish it? Yeah, I haven't got any in December. I finished it on the last day of November. I've got, I've got five this week. I've got loads. Well, there you go. I'm in the middle of a run of four. Scunthilk, Newcastle. The one before that was somewhere as well. It was somewhere, wasn't it? Buckston. Buckston. And then Stockton. And you're finishing Stockton? Yeah, this week, yeah. That is, for something that lives in Exeter, that's a powerful runner for that. It is.

It is. It is. It is. Nocton, Scunthorpe, Newcastle, Stoughton. Do you think anyone else, apart from a comedian, has done all four of them in a row, ever? No, it feels very unlikely. On a Saturday through to Tuesday. Even a musician.

Even a fucking traitor. A lorry driver's not done that. No, it's a wild four. And so I'm doing that. Yeah. Well, I've got the, um, Coventry triple followed by Halifax this week. Oh, I've done Halifax.

It's nice. Yeah. Right. Should we talk about kids? Have you seen your kids? I've seen my kids. I didn't say anything last week, did I? So I've got a list of things.

Yes, I just spoke at you about Japan and Australia. Yeah, so I've actually got a list of things for you. Where they are. You're very well prepped here. Well, no, I can't find the dock. Apart from the porridge that's still on your lip. Well, I don't care. We're not using video.

There's no clag though, to be fair. you got rid of the cloud quite quickly. I almost, I was going to tell you about getting stuck in the school, wasn't I, Rob. You got stuck in a school? Yeah, I got stuck in a school that wasn't my kid's school as well. How? How? So, let me just find the fucking notes because I, I, that wasn't the first thing I was going to do.

Nah, I'll just have to do it off the top of my head. Is it right? Have a moment? I'm so fucked. I genuinely felt really unwell for the second half of the, the gig on Saturday, but managed to get through it. Yeah, and I thought my blood sugar's low, so I had two bowls of crunching up cornflakes when I came off stage.

Oh, is that the most nutritionally smart thing to do? No, but you know, when you're like, I need some sugar because I'm not well. No, but fair enough. What do you have when you're not well, then? Medicine, medicine. Oh, yeah, I did that as well, obviously. But you need something to get... I hydrate, hydration, so I'll have electrolyte drinks.

I make sure I drink lots of electrolyte drinks and fruit. you don't drink out of you don't eat I do eat fruit how dare you I'm sorry when you're ill in bed you go to Lou could you bring me a plate of fruit

mate I cannot I've never laid in bed ill at home Lou bringing me stuff fuck that I'll be up and out I don't really believe You get a kiwi fruit Get yourself a mango I don't really believe

yourself some blueberries You're either really ill You need to go to the hospital or the doctor Or just fucking get on with life That's my opinion I have an electrolyte. All I'm saying is two bowls of crunchy nut corn flakes, I don't think it's the best thing to feed a body that's unwell. Well, I went straight to sleep. Well, what would you have had then from backstage at a gig?

Well, what do you be backstage at a gig? It's not like there's only, you've brought the crunchy nut corn flakes with you. Yeah, but I didn't know it was going to be ill. So go on. What would you have? You come off stage. You don't feel well. And obviously, you've got your fruit. You've got your fruit, right? If I don't feel well, I'll have medicine and go to bed. I won't eat. Even if you're hungry and you feel like your blood sugar's low. Maybe I'll have a protein yogurt. Well, they're full of very dodgy protein yogurts.

Oh yeah, as opposed to the really healthy crunchin-up cornflakes. No, I'm not saying they are. Fucking sugar air with milk on top. I'm not saying crunched-up cornflakes is a good idea, but I'm saying your protein yogurt. Yeah, well, I think a yogurt, and I'd probably have a protein yogurt and a banana if I come off age and I not want something. That's what I'd try and eat if I can get it. Or watermelon, I eat watermelon and mango from the little Marks and Spencers.

Oh, yeah, the old Buxton Marks and Spencers that's open at 10pm. Don't blame me for you, gigging. You had to go with me for having Crunchy Dunk Cornflakes. I'm allowed to defend myself. But that is meant two bowls of Crunchin'uk cornflakes after a gig's not ideal, is it? Really, there's no, there's no nutritional value in that whatsoever. And what do you want sugar for to go asleep? No, because I was feeling very weak.

If all you had to do was get driven to a hotel under a blanket Well, I didn't know I was ill at that point I just thought my blood sugar's low Ask Ed Gamble what you should have done He knows all about bloat-low blood sugar, didn't he? Yeah, I think it probably is a different game for him Well, yeah, but he's playing chess, we're playing checkers He's got diabetes

He knows all about insulin and blood sugar levels What diabetes? I've never known that he surely doesn't just have a bowl of crunching at cornflakes No, of course he does it, that's what I'm trying to say they're so sweet it's mental have you had them recently they're insane they're mad

they're lovely they're nice to eat but I see that as a dessert yeah well that's what he's coming off stage you're going on with bloodshould so I had a six for a roche for six what

six for roche well you're not going to believe what's sat right here Rob I've got the I've got the opposite of Jonathan Ross I'll say all the ars well you're you seem quite

pride, but she's out now. Have you had a bit of a rest? Well, not really. At least you can sleep all day in the hotels. I'm going to sleep all day in the hotel. It feels like a waste, doesn't it? You feel like you're being pathetic, but you just do it. Well, no, you need to get the energy for later because you're like you're going to just... Because it's Monday night

in Newcastle. No, they'll be up for it. Oh, yeah, no, they will be. I'm in Newcastle next week. Anyway, you've got the track to the school. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, we can talk about something else. Do we talk to you for a bit if you don't know what to say? No, I do know what to say. I'm sorry, no, you said you couldn't find the notes.

I can't, but I remember being trapped in the school. What happened then? Strangely, Rosa got trapped in our school the week before. Our school? What's that? My daughter's school the week before. She went to parents' evening. Yeah.

And she couldn't find the room. And it was totally black and closed. With the whole school? Yeah. Because she couldn't find the place where parents' evening was. Yeah. And then she didn't know the coat. to get out of the gate.

So I got a phone call from Rose when she was going to be a parent's evening. Presuming it was going to tell me how parents' evening had gone and she was just trapped in the school. Where was you? You know, somewhere like Buxton. I can't remember precisely.

Tring. Yeah, I was... I'm on a chair in a weird room back stage. I'm in Chester and I'm... I'm thinking it's stupid our job, in it? It's too much. I just can't... I can't.

keep going to so many different places, Josh. This week, I've got to go to Manchester, central London, Coventry, Halifax. It's too much in a week. I did Manchester and Leicester last week. I'm in the middle of 12 nights of work in a row. And I feel fucking...

Twelve nights and a row of work. So you're working every night until last leg again next week and then more gigs? No, Wednesday off. But I've been working since not the last last leg. I did the one before. Oh my God. Yeah.

It's a lot, isn't it? So his last lag tour Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I think our agents might be taken to court under human rights. But I always okay it because I think I can do it. I always push for it because I'm like, well, you've got to do the work, haven't you? It is. And they'll be like, do you think you should do Joe Marla's podcast? I'm like, do you need to do Joe Marla's podcast?

Well, I think we both know the answer to that. He seems like a nice guy, though. He is a nice guy. I've done the wheel with him. And we've had him on this. Yes. Oh, yeah. Great guy.

It's different on Zoom, though. It's not a proper meeting, is it? Exactly, yeah, yeah. So, anyway, I got stuck in a school. Yeah, so Rose got stuck, then you got stuck. So then the Thursday, my daughter had a hockey match, right? Yeah. and it was away, and she wanted me to go.

So it was a half-hour drive. It was a proper away day. So I get to the school in the deepest, darkest Devon. Right. It's a proper countryside, Devon. Not you city slickers in Exeter. No, no, no, no, no, exactly. In a town, but like, you know.

Not really a town if you're from London. There's no fucking chance of getting a box crunching out cornflakes there. They call it a town, but it's actually a pumped-up village. It's a pumped-up village, yeah. I know the place. And one of the parents drops a pin as to where the game is. Right. And I'm late, obviously.

I've got five minutes to get there. I get to the pin. Bowl of porridge on your lap going through the country lanes. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Getting it all over my trousers. Then I'm thinking it's going to look like spunk and that's a disaster at the school. People point at your lap and shout, gobble, gobble.

Is it a lap when you stood up? You had material about this, didn't you? I did. What was I doing with my life? I liked it. I still think of that. I feel like the great unreleased Joshua observational routine that.

I reckon it probably was released on something like the week when I was really struggling for stuff. When it's about how when you're sat down, you've got a lap, but when you're stood up, you have no lap. What's that area? What's that area called? It's a great bit.

It's a good bit of fun, isn't it? Because also everyone's got a lap when they're watching. You're too right. They weren't lapping it up though. Oh, there you go. There's your top of that dancing stuff. No, but do you know what? did I tell you this that I heard Frank Skinner said

and it totally is true that if you do a pun off the cuff people love it like that if you do a pun and it's part and it's written as part of a routine like it people fucking hate it well Tim Vine's doing all right now no I know but he's all puns but if I was to do a whole routine

with puns in well no just the lapping it up at the end people would go away oh oh oh oh I think that would work, though, because they'd go, oh, I hate, oh. Give it a run out tonight? No. Zero brain capacity for new. I'll be doing the show that I know works, thank you very much. I'll be doing the jokes that I'm confident in, in the order that I'm confident in.

I'm confident in the lap stuff. You'll get people at the tour guy, do the lap bit, do the lap on. Give it a run out tonight. Give it a run out tonight, Rob. I'll do it. Can I take it? I'll do it tonight, I'm gigging tonight Can I do the lap stuff?

Yeah, well you're going. It would be. Have you ever noticed? Yeah. I don't think I can make the lap stuff work now. I think you're good. You got to believe me yourself, Josh. You have got to believe it. I don't today.

I just want to do the school run. But then as soon as you start doing that, you'll get the up with that. I know. Life is all about greener on the other side, didn't it? But I definitely do think sometimes you go, you know, doing the jobs easier and all the life school stuff.

But I'm telling you now, the school run is easier than doing the Buxton, Scunthorpe, Newcastle, Stockton, Sunday through to Tuesday live show. That is a tough schedule. They've been good gigs, but it's the travel. And it's the...

Yes. You've got to move hotels every night, basically. Oh, no, you've got... Are you in this one? I'm doing Newcastle two nights in a row and Newcastle tomorrow night, and then I'm coming home after Stockton. Right, got you. Yeah. Look at that, Josh.

Is that a naked man on a playing card? Yes, cult card. Just found it at my desk. So why have you got that? We bought a pack when me and my mates went travelling about 20 years ago. Then we've played a game for the last 20 years where people hide it in each other's belongings on nights out or when we meet up. That's fun.

as really, like we went on a stag to be put in someone's passport. So when they gave the passport in there was a naked person. However, I do feel like in the last 20 years, that's gone from a bit of fun to now someone could report that for sort of sexual harassment. Well, yes. No, but if you gave that to someone at the park, if someone slipped that in your passport and you open your passport

there's a naked man and you're a pervert man and then you haven't even done it. Yeah, I totally agree. You can't really hide it in people's houses because if a child finds this man with his complete, He's completely shaven a wrecked penis as he leans on a couch. Is that a wrecked? I'd say it's well on its way.

I would say I'll stick this on the Instagram. It's facing downwards. Do you know they... That is the last throw of the dice of the semi, I'd call that. Before full lobon. Do you know they used to check it by the... Is it... What is it, the Isle of Mull or something?

No, it's called the Urefer. So there's a bit of the UK... Urefer, frankly. No, it's not the Isle of Mull. Or maybe it is, yeah. Google the Isle of Mull, Rob. Yep. And they used to use the Isle of Mole, that bit coming off it, as the line to judge on TV.

Because you're not allowed to show an erection. You are allowed to show a non-erection. Yeah. I think they used to use the Isle of Mole to... Oh, but it's like curved upwards. Well, that's too far. Oh, so if it looks like that, if it looks like the Isle of Mole, then he can't go on TV. It can't go on TV.

Right. It's really curved, though. Yeah, it is too hard. say it's too high. I think the line needs to be lower. Yeah, because that looks like it's a rex, but it's got a kink at the helmet. Did they used to use the Isle of Marl? Was it Florida? It looks like

a knobbed, didn't it? To judge oh god, this is going to help, not help, erections on TV. I mean, I think Jack Cheap-PT might even tap out of that one. Moll of Kintyre. Yeah, it can't be the Moll of Kintyre. The question you're referring to, it likely involves the Mull of Kintyre.

Let's have a look at the Mull of Kintyre. It looks like a penis. Yeah, it's very, very. low that's very low so is that saying oh maybe that's saying just any type of any type of elevation any type of elevation is non flaccid so that's what that is yeah that makes sense because that's a lot more acceptable than the is aisle of mall well if if the guy i just showed you on the king of hearts is the last throw of the what's it did i call it the last throw of the flaccid or something like that last flow of the semi that is definitely the first he's not getting on tv he's he's lost the

mull of kintyre test i think that's one minute that's one second past 12 that is that mother of kentire cock right so i got trapped in school rob right so yeah so i got to the hockey match and there was no one there and i'd been sent to the wrong hockey pitch oh but the same right school right school but currently i haven't seen anyone i'm just a a weird man walking around a school yes that i don't know yeah um and then i can hear hockey coming from the other side of the road and further on down. But I'm blocked off, so I've got to walk all the way back down to the car park, right? Okay.

And I'm late and I'm worried because I've got to pick up my son, right? So I've said, I might have to leave early and my daughter's mortified. So I've then put my son in after school club. Did she want to come back with you or go back on the bus with a schoolmate? She wants to come back with me. Right. But also, I think a lot of the parents, I think one of the, good things they like about hockey is they get to leave early with it you know like they don't

have to go back to the school and then go home because one of the reasons you didn't want to live in east London was like it took you long time to get everywhere now where you are this is the first journey I've had to do for school yeah no no no I'm not don't get defensive no what I'm saying but what's weird about like someone like exit is this what we found when we went a bit further out is that like the school the the journey's everywhere else is further because it's more spread out because in the countryside, they don't mind they're like a 40 minute drive somewhere

because they're used to it. Yeah, but do you know what it is? It's because the drive isn't stressful. Yes, yeah, it's country lanes and no traffic. So when you drive for half an hour, I've just got my screen time through. Why does it do that? I don't want to know my fucking screens on it.

What is it? Well, it was one, no, I just got it through on my computer and it was 1.1 hours. That's good. It's really low. Only on my computer. Oh, God. What about your phone?

Oh, I don't know where. I watched a documentary on my phone last night. Surely that shouldn't count. That's helping your mind. But you're on the screen. I know, but it was about Carlos the Jackal. Well, what happens if I have talk sport playing on my, on YouTube as I'll know the dishwasher? That's the problem, right, Rob? What about? What about? I don't think it should be counting sat nav. Like, that's not... That's mental. My eyes are on the road. Yeah. Like, do be counting satnav. You can't be throwing that back at me. If I've got a long journey, that's not my... I'm not enjoying screen time. Well, call it win screen time. Win screen time, lovely.

There's a little part. Get that on the set for tonight. Got that a lot of set up, but don't worry, it's a great puniting. It's a lot of journey, isn't it? No pun intended. Screen time. Screen time. You got Samsung, have you?

Okay. I don't know what that means. I don't know if they do it on that. They must do. Anyway, I got trapped in the school. On that, that thing, that thing you say about the journeys. Yeah.

I don't think the phrase a slower... Did you, when you move to the country, get a lot of faster and slower pace of life chat thrown at you? No, not really, because we're not... What's weird about where we live is? People don't think you live in the country. Well, we're not... No, it's not really.

We are still technically London. And like, if you drive five minutes one way, it's like basically just being in suburbs. It's just proper suburbia and, like, edge of London living. Yeah. But where we live is you only drive like five, ten minutes, and it feels like the middle of nowhere. So that's what we like is that when you're at home,

there's nothing going on. And it is a bit more chilled and quiet. But then you can get to everything. But it's not like proper children's in the countryside. Because I've got a lot of people from London, they'll say, are you enjoying the slower pace of life? And I just don't think the, I just don't think that's a term. That is such a weird term.

Like, I think it says that's a London centric sort of arrogance where nothing else is happening anywhere else. Yeah, I think what it actually is, is an easier pace of life. Everything in the country is easier. Yes. And everything in London is a challenge. Agreed. And if that is faster pace of life, I think it feels slower because to get to work feels like, oh my God, this is a real, going to be a real effort and take a long time. Yeah.

Well, also, it's difficult for you, though, to answer that question because you still live in a mental touring life at the moment. It's not until the tour finishes and you get into a bit of a groove of being in Exeter. But, like, you're not, you're not really reaping the benefits of it yet because you're, like, I just don't understand the slower pace of life thing. I think, I think you're right. I think it is a London thing going, oh, nothing happens outside of London. No, no, it is a bit calmer in the shop, so, do you know what I mean?

It is a bit slower with, if you go out to Devon and stuff, like going into a pubs, a bit more chilled. It's not like busy London. I find everything's quicker because you're not queuing. You're not in traffic. You're not on an escalator. You just go to the shop. You get it done. Bosch. Actually, it's a faster pace of life, Rob.

Fair enough. Yeah. Anyway, I was stuck in school. I was stuck in school. I was stuck in a school. I was still stuck in a school. Still stuck in a school. 30 minutes in. We nearly getting the first bullet point done. Fuck it out.

In your defence, I did flash your a naked man's penis on a playing card for no reason. I mean we I think we've both got to take the hit that we have diverted. I don't either of us are... Not a diversion. There'll be more screen time on the second. I even

drew attention to my screen time. So I was then I had to go all the way back and I was late so I started running which I in hindsight feels like a mistake because I was running now running through a school on your own that i on my own that i shouldn't have been in in a slow pace of life

in a slow pace of life anyway luckily i was running on the one side of the hedge because i was looking if there was a way i could climb through the hedge to get onto the road oh god i know so you was that desperate to get there well because my daughter was so paranoid about me not being at the end i was worried if she started the match and i wasn't at the sideline it would be really bad yes because You know that they're going, where's dad, where's dad? Especially at a new alien school. Oh, God. The panic.

Anyway, another parent from the other side of the hedge goes, are you looking for the hockey match? You should have gone, no. No. So did they get you through the hedge? He helped me vault over a huge gate by holding my hand. Oh, no. Do you know this man?

Well, he's one of the other people. I didn't, yeah. But he's one of your school. Yeah. Yeah. Big man? Big man. Bigger than you? Was he bigger than you? Ah. Most people are. Having to hold the hand of a bigger man.

Well, they passed to my stuff and then I like had to jump. What? What stuff? I had a bag. I can't remember what the bag was. Just like a plastic bag. Like a bag for life. And you are living. I don't know. And then I stood.

stood on top of the fence, straight gate. And as I was landing, he came... I've gone, fucking I've got around him, have I, forever now. A little panic runner. Panic tocky man. Anyway, we helped me vault over the fence. And we arrived and they were fucking nowhere near starring.

Oh, that's good, though. It was good, but I was a little bit like, oh, that was incredibly stressful. And then, Rob, this is the problem with my touring. Go on. I used to be at the previous school in London. I used to be incredibly across the mental load. Right, sure.

And what would Rose back you up on that? Who would have most of the... 100% say. You were across the school stuff in London. Both of us were, but if I was left, if Rose was away, I wouldn't be like, is it swimming today? And would it be 50, 50 completely? Would she still be a bit more across it than you?

I don't know. You'd have to ask her. but I think we were both completely across it so we were both able to do it so I don't think there was a point when I was like I don't know whether there's a club today or you were okay yeah because Lou is

100% across it at the moment with my touring schedule well that's the problem I've got no I know nothing since I moved I've been on tour and so my approach to the mental like I feel so lost with the new school that it makes me feel like I'm you know when you're like

I used to take pride in the facts and now it feels like I'm a fucking Victorian dad who doesn't know anything about well it doesn't you don't feel like that you are I am you don't know anything no I don't and it stresses me out and then roses away and so I had to

here we go so it's good to have an old favourite back yeah yeah play the hits where was she she was in London working right for a night so I was doing you know the morning run yeah it all went fine yeah did their drinks did their bag did their uniforms did their breakfast yeah it got them in and then it transpires rob that they have a snack

in a lunchbox in their bag yeah that's that's i thought that was a given they didn't have that didn't have that at the last school no no and so my son had opened up his lunchbox to crusts from the day before. But almost like an angry parent going, I've gave you that to eat, and you will eat it. Look at this. He ate it because he thought that was his snack.

They opened up his crusts and his crusts. A 24-hour old crust. Fucking hell, it's a weird one today. They've given me some really old crusts. Well, I struggle with keeping up with a water bottle situation. It always seems like my kids have got a new water bottle that they take. And I filled it up and didn't put the lid on properly. All of it leaked in my daughter's bag and I got an email from a teacher.

Oh, God. Oh, God. And that's the first time I've done their water bottle this term. Oh, Rob. I know. It's bad, isn't it? Because we're not, we're not, so my Monday. We're just normal men.

We're trying. We're not just normal men. But I will be more across it once I'm not on tour. It's just very hard at the moment. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I'm sorry. Last Monday we had parenting hell. Last Monday was so stressful.

So first thing in the morning Are you discussed? I had a doctor taking blood for a... We had that last week, didn't we discuss that? Doctor taking blood? I had a doctor doing tests for life insurance. So he came around at 9. I don't think we spoke about that.

Oh, right, well, that happened. So he came around at 9 a.m. before the podcast at 10 a. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Doctor at 9. Joe Wiley at 10. Dr. Joe Wiley at 10.

So can worry out with these taking the bloods, please? Yeah, so I've got to speak to Joe Wiley about him for. kids. I told you that my premium went up when they weighed me. Did it? Oh no, Rob. I've got a... How did they? What, literally, that made...

On the schools, they had your premium and when the moment you stepped on it, kind of went up on it, just a rule, like, read out. Well, no, so the... If you are going to get life insurance, what I'd say is make sure you do it when you're... Like, don't do it straight after Christmas or a holiday. Do it when you've been working out.

Because basically, they gave me a price, and then when the nurse came around to do, like, bloods and checking your smoke. and do the weight she did and then um also as well when you get on the scale it was like obviously you fully dress i'm like stripped down to my pants to get on the scale yeah put only light clothes you should have you should have said to a viva however it was what muscle weighs more than fat mate well i still didn't know how to cancel my viva one so i've just stopped the direct debit i've done that before i don't know if that's against the raw i don't

know if the police are going to come but i just i literally cannot find on their website a number to ring or a place to cancel it so fucking hell draw a bridge up come for me come for you but what are they going to do kill me they're not going to come for you unless they're just never going to pay out if you do get ill so fine so it's win-win it's just annoying though because i feel like i wish i'd died a bit you know because i paid all that money and it didn't die no it feels like i've made the money it's like barrels made the most of it barrels made her money back from pet plan by um by having this kidney problem we're absolutely in profit so i did parenting hell come off the call

Roses the hamster's ill Oh god What's wrong with the hamster We're in end of life Situation here with the hamster It's been a couple of years Isn't it? Yeah

Maybe Maybe not even Yeah Not really It's quite bleak Yeah but it's nice You only get a couple of years You're not you're not

You're not tied to a hamster For like 22 years Yeah yeah But I don't think you're tied to Well no But like you know Cleaning it out And doing all the admin

So you're gonna want another one Straight after No No Is that it perfect Two years done Yeah Yeah, we're in a horse area these days, Rob, which we need to discuss.

She's got into horses. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Absolute money pit. Well, it is what it is. The good thing, though, is in Devon and exit, there's probably not much of a horse riding scene, so you'll be fine. Exactly, exactly.

No, she wanted a horse riding lesson for a birthday. Yeah. She went on it. She absolutely loved it. So is what it is. Hanzers out. Horse in. Hamsters out, horse in, same cage.

Are you going to get a horse? No. You will. Well, yeah, I'm not ruling it out in the long term, but I think I'd need more than one lesson before I went to invest in a horse. Well, I can hear Rose now. Well, the thing is we're paying this amount for the lessons. If we have our own, then at least, you know, she can ride it for free whenever she wants.

Oh, God, I don't know how it works. Why having a horse? You are? Well, no, no. But what I mean is you'd need a lot of lessons in your bag by that point, wouldn't you? Yeah, to justify the horse. Because you've got to get a paddock. haven't you?

Yeah, you can't put it in the garden. Yeah, yeah. You'd have to have it somewhere, but then you'd have to go and check on it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You don't need that in your diary. It's not happening. So what's, so,

so anyway, I did parent-to-health. What did you do with a little hamster? So, we booked the vet, right? So we booked the vet because he's previously, did I tell you previously been there where he's walking in circles? No, no.

They've got a wheel, though. They love that, didn't they? So yesterday. Not yesterday. Last month. he was basically veering to the left at all times like a kind of a car that needs to be realigned yeah yeah yeah so I took him to the vet he said ear infection take these things

sorry yeah I know but he has got a massive bollock which is probably cancer oh Jesus Christ so then is that what's dragging him to the left he got he got he got ill again after a month I was like I'll just take him to the same vet. They can only do 245. We've got parents evening at 320. I come off parenting hell at one. I'm like, I'm desperate to do some exercise. So I go for a run. Classic me, Rob, halfway round. I've never needed a shit more in my life. And it's that thing where running down

by the river, but I'm not going to have to be. But I'm not going to And like running's making it worse, if anything Yeah But I need to get home quickly So it's a really difficult call, isn't it? On whether to run or not Yeah, the irony is that like

Your hamster's running in circles Now you are needing a massive shit Yeah, with a massive ballroom Just about make it Go to toilet I've got five minutes to eat my lunch And then I have to get straight in the car take the hamster to the vet

get to the vet. Do you know what your life has? No buffer. No. You never ever incorporate the buffer. I'm desperate to run. I know but Josh but like even this morning.

To be fair, the vet that was my buffer. No, it's not your buffer. The buffer should be nothing. No, that's what I mean is the vet, the vet, an emergency vet appointment. Oh, I, into your buffer. That was, I was many to.

He finished parenting hell at midday. and then have three hours 20 to myself Before parents evening Before parents evening Yeah, okay, fair enough But I do think you are You will always schedule the least amount of buffer Yeah, but I don't know

But a quarter to a nine for nine o'clock recording When you're in a hotel room That's because I overslept Yeah, no, but I'm napped Can you see about the buffer? Yeah, I can, but I didn't want to set my alarm For half seven So that I could have some porridge buffer

when I was getting to sleep a half one. Yeah. No, but I'm just saying that you live without buffer. I do. You are on the line, in our nonstop. Fair enough, just so. So, but this wasn't my fault. Then I had to go to the vet, take the hampses to the vet.

And then I thought I'm not going to make it back for parents evening. But actually, just about make it back. I'm three minutes late for parents' evening. Is that one where Rose got lost? No, this is the replacement one. which actually allowed me... Yeah, because she missed it. Actually, she was at the school,

but got so lost at the school, she missed the appointment at the school. She just got locked in what looked like a closed school. That would really annoy me. Not like if I was Rose, not it wouldn't be annoyed with Rose, but the fact she'd made the effort to get the school and it was pissing with rain.

And she's in the school and it's raining and then misses the appointment and has to reschedule it. Yeah. That is annoying. Yeah, very. annoying um parents evening pick up the kids i can just see rose walking in that night wet just saying to you well no i wasn't there obviously because i were you going to parents evening what have you what have you done child care wise while you're down there because obviously my mom or rose's mom

right your mom's a bit closer now my dad actually that night right oh so that's quite handy my dad came down so that rose could fail to go to parents evening brilliant and how far are they from you now your parents 40 minutes but they love it Oh that's good That's fine though I mean

Oh that's good So anyway Then I go to Then I have to basically After parents evening Have a shower Get changed Go to talkie to do a tour show

And then go to bed And that's my That is a pure day Of no buffer Rob Yeah that is absolute Michael Bruce Buffer it's so but i wasn't expecting the hamster to to absolutely i'm just but i do i would say that you are

you you you don't allow yourself much time i'm pure buffer today i'm pure buffer today in the um i've got nothing after this until newcastle perfect there you go that's good isn't it i'm gonna go back to bed pure buff buff buff yourself to sleep um anyway rob how has your parenting been my parenting been um we went to um we went to um oh i got to hear this before well i was on i talk about some parenting a minute but i got to hear this is really funny actually i'll tell you about parenting first and i'll tell you that after we went to mamma mia the party at the o two yesterday right so what's that right it's the most overwhelming experience in the arena so it's not in the arena it's in a purpose built theater that's inside the arena next to the indigo o two fucking hell abbas can't stop building purpose

built events around London what's their fucking problem so what it is is a purpose built theater but it's built like a giant Greek restaurant restaurant and the set up faulty towers experience similar and the setup is you go in and sit down and you have like a three-course meal and there's like booze and stuff like that the food actually is really good it's all Greek food I thought normally the kids yes you went with the kids normally the food's quite crap at those places but they love mama mea and we'll be a fun thing to do so you go in course meal and then there's like three acts of performance so one after the starter then you have main then another act and then another act and the first two acts is basically it's a story of they're

trying to put on an abash performance in the Greek restaurant and there's a Greek owner with his English wife and then the Greek nan and they were arguing about why have we got to do a Mamma Mia show can't we have a Greek and there's loads of music and then and then there's like a love story like in normal Mamma Mia the film and all this yeah and then basically it is just full of mainly middle age to old age women getting on it and dancing and singing and how did you feel aroused i've no no that is i definitely didn't feel aroused um very much mullerkin tire rather than a l'emarle oh barely that like backward what's it what's the opposite that my lincoln tie's gone backwards in i um no darfur tunnel darfur the time so no i don't i don't so no i didn't

for the rouse to answer your initial question um no so i was a bit like i'm sure it was going on but it's really well active really well sung so it's just really fun and then i would suggest with kids doing matinee um and they've really got to be a mamma mia but it's definitely more aimed at like sort of hendos and like birthdays and stuff like that but yeah it was really good and the kids loved it the waiters when they're bringing the food are they like part of it so yeah so no there's just normal waiting staff but then there's also singers and stuff that are dressed as waiters they're not they're singing and they're dancing and like and there's like a chef that walks around and stuff like that and like but you like but they're really like they're really like

in character so like at one point i nearly said you got any like white bread rolls for the kids they're not really into the old for catchery stuff you know like yeah yeah um and stuff so um yeah that so we did that respond to that did they do it in character or did they no i didn't ask that i nearly did i just sort of allowed them to sort of do that thing but it's really funny and the kids were like a bit like overwhelmed and stuff but um but that's great that was really good so enjoy that's nice that's nice that was a nice wholesome thing and then we went ended up afterwards in the o2 going to this like bar and doing a karaoke room oh my god and the kids just went mental in there and just singing taylor swift for like an hour i mean lou and our

friends and their kids were in there and we just sat there like drinking wine and beer watching them sing for an hour it's actually a great way to get on it with kids yeah you just sit in a karaoke room they're singing for a couple of hours and you just sit there getting drunk singing along yeah that's good that's good that's nice So was there anything on at the O-2? Oh, Lord was on, but this was, we went at like the 12 o'clock show in the Mamma Mia thing, and then that finished at like half three, four. But you can stay in there and get drunk and dance.

I would say for you and for me, no, but I'm just saying, like, your daughter would love it. But the, um, you will, but you're a lamb to the slaughter for the selfie. Yeah, I can imagine that is, I was thinking, as you were saying, drunk mums is an absolute. And they were lovely, but it was like, I was dancing with my daughter. during the show and like people coming over for selfies. I'm like, we're watching the show and I'm dancing my daughter. Can I? Stuff like that.

That's good. We did that. I'd went on a 40th at the weekend for my friends. Oh, my word. I mean, it was a very, I mean, we're old. The birthday boy took a bottle of peptobismal with him. I don't know what that is. Well, he had hiccups for 72 hours.

Oh, my God. Some sort of acid reflux. Right. And so you had to have pepipot bismol. It's, I did feel like, you know, when people go, I wasn't like telling 40, and I felt fine about it. It's only when you, it's only when you, see all your mates and one's like hiccup in his way through pepmo bismol like

yeah yeah yeah yeah and rennie's have been chucked around like their pills in the night was it a full weekend so friday and saturday night but it was quite a chilled one went to deal and i had good food had a few drinks messed about oh you've hit middle age but it was very middle age but quite all of bed by midnight and had a good seven eight hours sleep so that was nice oh very nice but not very rock and roll yeah that's nice and then um where was i well i did i was in manchester last week and I finished gig in at well I finished it, it was a TV show actually, finished it at 11, stayed over in Manchester

because the next day I was in Leicester so I stayed at a hotel in Manchester and the next day I got driven when I got checked at the hotel midday, driven to Leicester but then I'm in Leicester at 2 o'clock Yeah, so what do you do? Check into your hotel? No hotel, I'm driving home that night.

Oh my word. You know the answer. Cinema? Yeah, industrial estate. Nando's followed by cinema. God, Rob, your life. I know. That should be fun, but on your own, it's so depressing. Can you just go to a cinema in the town just to make it a bit less bleak? Well, no, because it's hard with parking.

And then also, I know it sounds worse, but in town, I'll get bothered loads more. We're on an industrial estate midweek, I can be a big bot incognito. Oh, God, Rob. So I want to watch The Running Man. I don't know what that is. The remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film. You know, the Running Man, where basically... Yeah, yeah, I didn't know they've remade it.

And you basically go on the run and get chased down by people. and if you make it long enough, your family get loads of money. Right. Or you get killed. So I've bought a ticket to the running man. I'm alone. I've got some popcorn in one hand.

So who's driven you? Are they not coming to the cinema? No. I'm meeting my tour manager later on at the venue. I see. I got driven by a TV. Like the TV company got me a car to Leicester. Yeah, fine.

So he dropped me off at the industrial estate. And you didn't fancy inviting him to the riding man. The taxi driver. Yeah. The driving man. No. Thought that might be a bit weird. Anyway.

You know what, mate? It's been a lovely journey. Do you fancy coming to the Running Man and then Nandos? I know. I felt bad. Just because I'm a bit lonely. It was quite chatty, but I was so tired. I just didn't want to talk for two hours.

We all chatted through the running man. So anyway, I get the ticket for the Running Man. I walk up and, you know, when you walk up, they go, what you're going to see. And how many people are at the Running Man at 2pm on a Tuesday? About three people in cinema. But at this point, there's no one in the cinema, apart from the man taking my ticket, right? Yeah. Now, I'm going to see the running man, and the man taking my ticket, he's in a wheelchair.

Yeah. And he says, what film you're here to see? Yeah, a bit of fun. And he knows what I'm going to say. Yeah, yeah. He's smiling, because he's enjoying the awkwardness for me. Yeah, yeah, fine. And I'm like, right, I know how this plays out.

I say, the running man, he gives me a quip. A little funny line back. Do you know what? Fair enough. And do you know what? but I know he's ready for it. I can see it like that. I bet all his fucking Christmas came at once

when he saw The Running Man have been re-released. Yeah, he's going to absolutely rip it all day with jokes and people feeling uncomfortable. And I gave him a ticket and he goes, what you would say? I go, the running man. And I went, well, it's certainly not me. Oh, good on him.

Good on him. What did you say? Oh, that is absolutely excellent. Super. And we had a bit of a laugh. Yeah. And then he was in, I've never seen it before, but actually, I think it's amazing.

He's worked that up over the weeks. He must have done work in progresses. And that is, well, it's certainly not, it's a lovely little line, isn't it? I'm here to see. And he's tight and it's... And he can set it up by going, what are you here to see?

Yeah, because the first time someone's come to see that, he's like, it's been a bit back here. He's gone, they've gone the running man, he's gone. Oh, well, I'm not as good at running as you or something. That's not a film for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not right. It just sounds like I'm slacking off the film.

Yeah. So he's nailed it. I might have butched him, but whatever he said, maybe laugh out of that, right? But also, he had one of his wheelchairs where, like, he was at eye level. So, you know, it was like higher up. So it was like, the wheels were the same height,

but there's like a little bit between the seat and the base that is. Like a tennis umpire. Yeah, so about not as high as that. That would be mental, obviously. I thought I'd go for the Richard Osmond one, actually. No, so he's basically at like five foot, well, maybe six foot or five foot at height and high level. And I've never seen it before.

It's basically just like a little mechanism that just increases to height of the sea. And I was like, I've never seen a chair like that before. And I was like, what's it all about? It went, oh, basically, it's a bit more money. But like, I just feel like when you're lower, you don't get, you sort of don't get looked at properly. People don't speak to you. Yeah, that's not seen. And I was like, how much more was it?

And he was like, it was like, something like, about 1,200 quid that, that wheelchair rather than a cheap one. And I was like an amazing thing because it is true. Sometimes if you're lower, you are, you're just not in amongst it. So, anyway, we was chatting about that. and I thought that's a really good idea, stuff like that. And then we was having a bit of a laugh. And then I felt like to build up a bit of rapport. And then you missed the running man, because you were chatting so long.

I went, I went, is the running, is it open yet the screen? And I went, let me have a look. And then he was looking for ages because you couldn't not find it. I went, fucking hell, mate, you're not even a reading man. Oh, here we go. Here we go. And he went, I'm not bringing much, am I? And I all right, this is lovely.

But let's fight the film off. I found a friend. I think I'm lonely. I think I'm lonely Oh, Rob, that is bleak. How was the running man? Shit, a bit shit. It was just a bit weird.

It was sort of half serious, half, like trying to make a joke of itself, but also still being serious. You know, that what's like on a staggedo when someone's having a bit of a laugh, but then you strike a nerve and then they go all serious, and oh God. Like a teacher that you don't know where you are with?

Yeah, that's how I felt, yeah. Did you have Nando's on your own? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, on my own, yeah, in a booth in the corner facing the wall. Oh, yeah, that's nice. Good old way, the best way I'll find. Just watching TikTok. Yeah, no, actually, I was watching the Chris Eubank Jr. and senior BBC documentary.

I'd just watch the Caroline Flack documentary and watch the rest of Mobland. Oh, there we go. There we go. It's a nice life, isn't it? It's a nice life on the road. Well, yeah, it's, no, it is, but like. It is very pleasant. But when you do it a lot, you get lonely.

I'm ready for Christmas. I'm ready for Christmas It's like in September 17th November Not far off though Well no exactly But I've got a lot of work Before Christmas to get through And that is

You'll be right It feels like a distance It feels like a distance Yeah but don't worry about the end Just enjoy the process of it all So all you've got to do now Forget about the gig later You're in a hotel room resting relaxing time to yourself

I'm going to lie down I'm going to listen to an audio book I'm too unwell You don't want to audio books do you That depends which it is Load your ID, mate. Get back on the site. I actually do this small business.

I've paid $7.99 for a Jilly Cooper on Audible. I'm not fucking wasting that money. Oh dear. Right, I've got a small business. This is the one I've actually been to as well here. Oh, here we go. This is C scrub sauna. Now, when we were down in Dill, we went to this in Margate,

a bit of a last minute booking. For the 40th? Yeah, for the 40th, basically. You went for a sauna, fucking. Times have changed in Rob Beckett's life, haven't they? It's on the beach in Margate, where basically you get, there's a sauna and there's plunges. I had a sauna yesterday. And a bucket, I'm a bucket, sorry, barrels with cold water, and then you can run in the sea.

Anyways, here it is. So I said I'll give him a shout out, so we went and we really enjoyed it. Nice, nice. It started out by a cousins, Luke and Robin, who went traveling in their 20s. It was on the new Norwegian fjords, braving icy swims and floating saunas that gave me idea to bring back Scandinavian sauna culture back to Kent Coast with a British seaside twist. Our saunas are all about hot meets cold. You can roast in wood fire sauna. It's done in sea views, then plunge into cold water whiskey barrels or the actual English channel. There's hot tubs fires.

That feels more the pace you'd imagine from a sauna rather than a lad's 40th. Well, it was not a lad's 40th. He's on, like, Rennie's, one of them's. It's really... What you are pathetic. What a couple of saddow?

I was to drink a pint at lunch on the second day. Oh, God. Anyway, where does it all go? See Scrubs sauna, have a look on Instagram. It's really good. We loved it. And especially it was a great, miserable day. And then, like, once people went in there,

sort of, like, woke us up a bit. It was good. Good morning, Josh. and Rob and Michael, long-time listener, first-time caller. I want to give a small business shout-out to my amazing friend, Charlotte, who is the founder of Charlotte Elizabeth Culler. Over the past two years, while raising her beautiful daughter, Otty and her husband Harley, oh, with her husband Harley,

not raising her husband, Harley. Oh, with her husband Harley, often away with the army, Charlotte, that fucking puts our complaints in her. Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, he's probably in Cyprus on a jolly. See how he does the old Scunthorpe, Buxton, Newcastle, Stockton, Quad. Charlotte's somehow juggled full-time work and found the passion to start our own colour analysis

and wardrobe styling business. She helps people discover the colours that make them look and feel amazing, boosting confidence and simplifying wardrobes to save space, time and money. And now she's taken the bold leap to go full-time with it. I am in awe of her bravery and drive. She's a total inspiration. For mums, if you're wondering where your style went or secretly dreaming of wearing colour, but stuck in the black leggings loop, Charlotte is exactly who you need to boost your confidence

and give you that direction. For husbands, take note, this is the best presents. She does at gift vouchers. Rob and Josh, that includes you. You can find her at Charlotte Elizabeth Color, spelt the British way with O you are. The British way. The British way. I hope it's okay to shout up.

someone else's business, yes. I know she wouldn't do it for herself. Cheers to laugh, stay sexy and relatable, from Rosie Wild. Thank you very much. Good luck. Josh, I'll see you next week. Oh, if we make it. What?

Might die. Okay. Don't. Please don't. Please don't. It's a friend, but also, yeah. I mean, I'd say you'll get a peak of numbers for one week when you do the tribute episode, but then it will fall off.

The tribute episode? I'll get not Markle to knock up a best off. Right. Bye.
