welcome to lockdown the show in which Rob and I to be a parent during lockdown
which I would say can be a little tricky.
So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation. And to make me feel better about my increasingly
terrible parenting skills. Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping. Or hopefully not.
And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown
parenting woe. Because let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing.
Hello and you are listening to lockdown parenting hell with... The video is still
downloading Rob.
Oh, don't send people, people, people.
Please send audio.
Just do a WhatsApp voice note.
Thank you for sending, but I'll be honest with you.
My phone is now full of videos of children I don't know.
And it's a real worry.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
When that gets seized in a 25 years time, because of, you know, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th. th. th. th. th. that's th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. to. thi. to. to. to. to. the tho. thean. tho. tha. th. tha. th. th know, someone's been naughty on the last leg.
The last thing is, Josh Widdicum needs his phone being seized and all these children
shouting his own name.
Charlie, can you say Rob Beckett?
Can you say Josh Widdickum?
Widdickum?
Very good.
Do you know what, Rob, I've got to take it back straight away.
Okay, why? The video was worth it. He was holding his pom-pom jar.
Oh, I see. Okay, fair enough. We apologize. Fair enough. It's a fair cop. Yeah, so as long as they're holding a pom-pom jar, Josh will accept videos of children. That's the new rule. That is Charlie from Barrow upon Saw.
I don't know if that's same as the Barrow Inferness that you've presumably done on tour years
ago.
Barrow and Saw, I don't know, let's have a little Google, Barrow Inferness and now, have you spoken
about Barrow Infaness on this show?
Barrow Inferness is a lively place, I'd say.
I'd say. I remember doing a tour show there in about 2014 I'd say 1314. Yeah. We afterwards we went
to I want to say revolution but it might have been a Yates's it was one of those right.
A death wish. The only place that was open and inside the middle of this bar was a Bucking
Bronco. That sums up Baron for and Phineas, they build nuclear
submarines and they get piston gun bucking bronco. It was absolutely
astonishing. But no Barrow upon Saw is near Loughborough. Oh well there go.
And near a place called Quorn. Not spelled like quorn.
Yeah, spelt like actual quorn. I bet they hate that. How can you call a food
corn and there's a town called quorn? There's a premier in the the the their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their nuclear submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine their their their nuclear submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine submarine their their their their their their their their their their their.

There's a premiering quorn. The Quorn-Den Fox. You can't call it the Quarne, can you?
Maybe this is where they invented quorn? The manor house at Quarren.
Look at Mo Farrow just running around eating at different places. How many coffees you had Rob? I've had a lot of coffee and it's been a long day.
What's your day been like? Day's been like I took the three-year-old to,
Quorn F. C. Sorry, I got, I'm getting distracted. Um, I went little kickers. It's like a football thing for young kids. Yeah. And, oh yeah, you do kidney kicks. Well, little kickers this one's called. And it's for two. I a a th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thee. tode. today. today. today. today. today. today. today. thee. thee. thee. thee., we're a little kicker, this one's called and it's
for two and a half year old to three and a half year olds and my daughter was the only
girl there and the rest of it. It was almost like an open audition for Green Street for
the football factory track suits and stuff.
A lot of geesees there, a lot of swagger, a lot of track suits.
How do you go down in that crowd? Are they all like trying to banter with you?
A little bit of banter, everyone was quite quiet and just sort of looking after their kids,
but I can slip into that vibe easy mate. As much as I do do a bit of, you know, I work in the arts mate, I do theatre shows.
Do you know what I mean? I'm an alternative artist.
Yeah. But the inside of me is a man that just wants to sit in a pub on a Sunday and have 10 pites and slag off football.
Yeah. And that was the place for it. How did your daughter do? Was she good?
Do you know what? Very good. Because there's a lot of the the there that's desperate for their kids to want to do football.
And I'm completely ambivalent, really.
I sort of think I'm quite pushing for an indoor sport like gymnastics so you don't get
too cold at the weekend.
So if she is good at football and wants to do football, that's fine. But I'm I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm th. I'm not. I'm not completely. I'm not. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm completely. I'm th.

I'm not completely thi. I'm not completely. I'm not pushing. I'm not pushing. I'm not pushing. I'm not pushing it but yeah she loves it she always picks a ball out she was playing on her own she's got a touch at her she's got a swast she keeps
kicking with the outside of her foot though which almost it looks like she's
not very good at football but some of the finishing she's doing it's like a
a prime Berbatoff oh wow the extra yard is in her head that kind of
or she's got an arrogance that will only really be appreciated on Premier League gold.
Yeah, she's a luxury player.
Yeah, at the time, Berbatoff, Urzil, oh, lazy, what did they do?
You see a compilation from you on YouTube and it's just different gravy in it.
But either way, she enjoyed herself and she's got a football with her name on it, which she loves.
So it was a successful day. We're going back next week. A minute before we were due to leave, she cried and said,
I don't want to go football, leave me alone.
And when you've paid all the deposits,
but I gave her a lollipop, and then it was a five-minute walk
to the football place, but the only way she'd go is we were to get her there. So I did a car seat
change. Why are you saying that's together there? Just because you pay the deposit? Well,
we've paid and also all week she's been so excited about it, telling everyone she's going and
going, is it football day yet? So I knew. And she got there and absolutely loved it. She plays football on her own in the the the electric car. She played their. the footballs. the footballs. the footballs. the football. the football. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their. their their. their.

Oh. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the me for a lollipop and a quick go in the electric car.
They like the electric car because children love talk.
This is what, it's something you got to learn about kids.
They love talk.
They don't not go fast, they love talk.
They're like an initial speed is which what you get.
But then I've looked like a right twitoward because she's a tapapapapapapap How long did you drive for? Just straight down the road? Honestly, I was on the main road for probably less than a minute.
It's the shortest drive I'll ever do.
So I literally got on the road, made sure when I was there,
accelerated as fast as I could, I didn't break the speed limit,
and then slowed down, and then pulled into the sport. fast car drive, she got a lollipop and she got a football of her name on it. What more do you want?
Yeah, it's lovely.
It's lovely.
COVID reasons apparently that you have your own ball so you don't touch the other balls.
Oh really?
I think there is, there are ways just to earn more money from COVID, don't there?
Yeah, exactly.
You probably need your own one of them. gigs. Yeah it's 20 quid for the show, 40 quid for the chair to rent for a
COVID regulations but yeah we did that so that was all good. Did you get to
keep the ball though right? She kept them all yeah she's got the ball and we're
taking it away with us. I'm excited Josh we're going to center parks. Oh very nice. We are officially allowed to tell us. We're officially allowed to to the to to officially officially officially officially officially officially, officially, we, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so to, so that was that was that was that was to, so that was that was, that was that was that was that was, that was, th. that was that was th. that's th. th th tho, tho, that was tho, that was that was that was that was that was that was that was all, that was that was all, that was all, that was all tho, tho, tho. tho. tho. tho, tho, bit early because we're going to Centre Parks, but from the 12th,
Centre Parks opens and we're allowed to go and we are going to Centre Parks on an actual
holiday.
Who's going?
Just the four of you?
Just me, just a bit of time away.
Yeah, now me and Lou and the girls and yeah, so it's really excited.
And what happens at Center Parks, Robbs, I've never been. So there's a subtropical swimming paradise, which is basically like a big swimming pool
with flumes and rapids and wave machines
under a big dome and it's always nice and warm.
It's subtropical, Josh.
But that is nuts because it's classed as a water park,
not a swimming pool.
So a dome doesn't count as inside.
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, mate, mate, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know mate. Bar is shut, but we've got a slight refund.
Everything else is open, shops are open there,
restaurants and bars are open for delivery to your chalet
and you can sit outside.
There's a sports bar that we can sit up outside.
Yeah, so that's what we're doing and we're excited, Josh.
I think you'll have a lovely time.
What about you? What's that?

You, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, are, they. they. th? th? th? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, thia, their. their. their. their. their. thia, they. thii. thi. thi. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thia. thia. thia. thia. thaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. thaaaaaaaavid at the moment Rob why you are you livid?
Well on the talk of days out Rob I was discussing a heva castle with Rose. Oh don't talk to him about
heva Castle Lou's got a season pass well that's what Rose said she said the Beckets are always going
you'll have seen it on Lou's Instagram and I was like oh I probably haven't, you know, and then I thought I'm not following her.
So I clicked on her, and it said,
requested.
She's requested you off, yeah?
She has not accepted my request drop.
And this must have been fucking months ago, because...
She's, she let Rose in but not me. Maybe she's having
an affair with someone at Heva Castle and you would tell me. Exactly. She's she's
Rose is like lots of great picks of Heave a Castle. I can't see him Rob. I'm not allowed
to the to the today. Well it's absolutely lovely and the kids really enjoy it. So yeah, anyway, I'll tell Lou to accept you.
No, don't.
Let's see whether she listens to the podcast, Rob.
Oh, that's a good one, isn't it?
Yeah.
I like the way two men are using this podcast
to take the piss out of their Christmas presents
and make sure to see if they're listening to find out somehow, aren't you, Josh? I couldn't believe my eyes, Rob, when I saw that. Requested.
I tell you, well, I don't think she'll accept you, mate.
I think you've just become lost in the Maya.
Because I sometimes tag her in, but she's private.
She don't want anyone to see her.
Right, yeah, yeah, I know allowed to go, a double family date now, aren't we? Yeah, is it worth the
Blackwall Tunnel? That's what I'm going to say, I don't know, it is a trek, there may be
better places east in Essex and north of East London, but yeah, I'd say it might be a bit of a trek, but it's worth it for a day out, they'll sleep in the car, woucest. Yeah, exactly. But it's it's it's their it's their it's their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're, they're they're they're, they're they're they're they're their they're they're their their their they're they're they're their their their their. th. thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their.

months of that new one the naps all over the shop enough and they just nap in
their Bugaboo B5. Well I've got an idea you just chuck your eldest in the car come down to Heaver and then that means Rose can look after the baby and then you've the the the the the the the the th.. th is th. th is th is th is th is th. th is th is th. th is th is th is the th. th. th is th. th. th. th is th. th-in that is that is th th their that is that is tho. th th th th. th. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the the their their tooooooooooooooooooooes. their their their their their their their their the after the baby and then you've given Rose a break and then your daughter's been out. Job done. Exactly. Great. Hever it is. Right, Josh, the subject of your school being small,
we have gotten smaller school here from it looks like Ellie Grace, smaller school than yours.
So how big was your school? There was four in my year Rob. And so there was about 40 to 45 overall.
Okay, here we go. 40 to 45 in your school.
Anyway, this is Ellie Grace 96.
I went to a smaller school. I grew up on a Scottish island off the west coast.
The island had less than 30 residents and only five kids. There was one classroom and one teacher and each child was in a different 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 th. th. to th. th. th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. to to to to 40 thirty to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40. to 40. to 40 to 40. to 40 to 40. to 40. to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi the thi thi the thi the thi thi the thiole. the to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 to 40 the the thi. thi. was one classroom and one teacher and each
child was in a different year group. There were no school dinners and PE was
often a walk to the village hall or peer. There was no secondary school in the
island. When you went to secondary school you had to live with strangers on the
mainland five days a week. That is insane. That is that car that is I'd love to live with strangers on the mainland five days a week! That is insane! That is, that can't, that is, I'd love to, she didn't give us the name of it though,
I'd like the name of that place.
What a gig for the teacher that is.
Well, I'm gonna shock you here.
I don't think that's a teacher.
I think it's just an adult that was, tho, tho, tho a teacher, but the problem with that is, you're literally doing
everything at the school.
I'd love to go there and set up a private school and just try to steal some business.
See if you can nick them.
If you're the teacher, you're not getting any break, because you've got to be in charge
of lunch break.
You've got to be in charge of, you're in charge of every moment, of, of, of, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, tha, to, to, th day, five on one. I would love to know how behind the kids were
when they arrived on the mainland in year seven.
Oh my God, yeah.
He can't be kept up, can they?
That is mad.
Right, a couple of other ones quickly for you.
Um, this one here.
I'm talking about the oldest food items in the cupboard.
I cleaned my mom's kitchen covers last year at the beginning of lockdown out of boredom. I found some ground allspice from 1989 which means it's been through three house moves a divorce and a
remarriage. Oh wow! That's from Kate there? With that all spice good talk, okay?
And this is, we'll do this one last one, this is a nice one to make you feel
better about your own kids. Rob and Josh listening to thethe podcast the other day about ways of being woken up.
This takes me back to when our eldest son was about two.
I woke up to a cute little voice saying,
brushy, brushy, brushy.
Then in my half-awake state,
began to realize I could smell bleach and with the Lou brush. Oh my God. Traumatic wake up with bleach patches in hair and the thought of shit.
The shit particles are always worse. Yeah, that's worse. Good morning. That's worse than the bleach. I'd take the bleach over the shit.
It depends on the kind of bleach, isn't it? And it depends on what pattern the bleach. The shit particles are always worse. But if the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. And it. And it. And it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it's, and it's th. And it's th. And it's th. And it's, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it, and the th. And it, and th. And it, and th. And it, and th. And it's the. And, the. And it's the the the theat, the theat, the the the theat, the the the theat, the theat, theat, theat, and theat, and theat, but if they manage to bleach it but in the shape of like a swath sticker. Yeah, that would be the work.
But what in the hair?
In the hair?
You might get a cool kind of bleached sidesweep.
Not that there is such a thing.
You might look like, you know.
Paulie, you know, Paulie, Walnut's fromthat? A bit of Fay Ripley? Oh, Fay Ripley. I love Fay Ripley. She is one of the best actors in the UK. But also she's got banter and most
actors don't. Exactly, mate. Do you know what? You'll know this from doing panel shows Rob.
There are people who you can book because you can't always just book comedians. No. But you're booking someone and they're as good as a comedian. Doe. Doe. Doe. Doe. Doe. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do. Do.

That's funny as a comedian, but they take up one of the other spots.
I'd argue sometimes funnier and apparent comedians, because we've all been on panel shows
with people that shouldn't be there, aren't we, Josh.
Yeah, but it's, you know's no edit to worry about.
But no, Faye Ripley is hilarious.
She's lovely and very, very funny.
So hilarious and very funny, the same thing.
But anyway, we're fans of Fay Ripley.
And it's a great chat, isn't it?
She's got teenage children.
I'd say, you know, this was an absolutely joyful way to spend my Saturday morning loved it. Yeah, it's great. I'm aware I say it's one of my favorite episodes
So often but yeah, you do but then you know, but you know the bars just getting higher Josh
That's exactly the quality just keeps on climbing and this is we're getting better the guests with the guests with the guests with the guests with the guests?
Everyone's got a the thing. Do you know what do you know what the other thing everyone's got a mic? At the start, trying to set this up and people were trying to talk at me through their gaming headsets. We're not
having to talk about lockdown. So the interviews are more interesting. Yeah, there's, it's,
you know, things are a little bit brighter so we don't have to talk about the horrendous doom of the pandemic. It's the pandemic th pandemic than than than than than than than than than than the.

No.
Just wondering, thinking, it'll probably be sorted by August.
No, it won't.
You'll probably be listening to this now and go, little did they know.
It was another four years.
By the time it got sorted, Boris was bald.
He didn't even need to worry about the bar bar bar bar But, but the good news is we always had that Saturday morning when we could be positive
with Fay Ripley before the world went to shit again.
Positive with Fay Ripley, that sounds like a book.
Enjoy the episode, guys.
Fay Ripley, hello?

So this is like the equivalent of three in the morning. Do you know what I mean?
So with this week 10 a.m. We started on a Saturday morning. Thank you for obliging? Not at all, but I'm the only one up.
Really? That's what's going to happen to you guys? Oh my god. When? When? We? We? We? We? We? We? We? We? We? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say? We say?

When? We say that exactly the same time. It's well quick, really fast because it's
all like sand through your fingers all this, you know, it happens very, very quickly.
At your stage, feel slow. My stage, it's gone like lightning. Do you miss our stage,
Faye? Oh, I, well I think I'm on the verge of hanging around school pickup points without
having to pick anyone up.
Like I think I'm about to be a pedophile, you're going to be a pedophile without any
sexual intent.
So looking for children to look after.
So how, what's your setup? How old are your kids?
So my daughter's 18 and my son is 14.
So I'm at a sort of, I'm still babying my son very much so.
So I'm still making a packed lunch and folding his pants and doing that stuff, whilst he basically masturbates mainly.
We're at that stage. I mean, we're not talking about it.
No. You're where it's happening? I mean, I don't even know, it's the elephant in the room.
All I know, I'm, because I'm still sort of mothering him, I'm sort of doing that thing when
I take tissues up and leave them in case. Yes, you're going to do it. We can't not talk about this. You know.
Well you are not talking about it. So you've not spoke to him about it but you put tissues
in his room? Yeah, I mean he, you know, he has a bit hay fever. So it's like it's also.
You've been complaining about your hay fever. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I find when I go out into a park and I wank, my hay fever is a nightmare.
There's a lot of moisture around, isn't it?
Wow.
Have you not had any conversations about sexual education stuff with him?
Do you do the chat?
Is that a thing, Faye?
I've done a bit of the chat around, but I've sort of, you know, I do it around the sort of respect of the little penis, because I think that's too too too too too too too too too too too too too much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much much the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their m m m.a their mo their moisture tho moisture thea.a.a thea.a.a.a. theauuoooooo theastera thea. thea. their moisture their moisture their moisture their, I do it around the sort of respect of women. But I don't talk about like respect of his little penis because I think that's too much for mom.
I think the word little penis is disrespectful for, if you listen to back, yeah, you can't say that.
No. Just his penis. I mean, you know, we're at a funny old stage where I'm still calling them my babies, but I mean it's like I'm, I'm still still still still still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm still, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the the the the the the the the their, I'm, I'm, I'm, their, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm still, I'm still, I'm, I'm, I'm, their, their, the word, the word, the word, the word, the word, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, the word, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is the the the the word, the word, the word, to start driving lessons you know when she's allowed to and that's a real thing for me because I
you know it feels like yesterday that I had a car seat in the back like you guys
and suddenly she's gonna drive me and then I guess the next stage is I'm in the
back yeah I'm not looking forward to that and then and, and then they're going to open the window because my breath smells.
That's the, that's the next stage and you know it and I know it.
Back to school signals a fresh start for students.
New classmates, new teachers, new lessons.
Change is in the air.
But one thing hasn't changed.
The Ford government still isn't investing in public schools. Six years of cuts mean our
students aren't getting the supports they need. They can't wait another year.
If the Ford government won't change, it's time to change the government.
Our kids are counting on us.

Does it feel weird to think, do you think back to them as children a lot?
Well, it's too pay for, I can't look at pictures. I can't, I'm, it's, it's so, it's so hard for me.
I literally, on when the computer pops up, you know, 10 years ago, whatever, then I just
the sort of low, deep sob. And I know, and I'm on the bus.
I'm looking at my phone.
But you know, it's so, it's sort of,
because it's also a part of, you know, you just go,
I was part of a big gang, which you're in, you know, the pushchair gang.
And I still am technically, I'm still parenting.
But it's, I'm on the cusp.
Your daughter who's at 18,
is she considering if she's going to leave home?
She's, oh, I mean very much so,
based on the hatred of her mum.
No, it's not, she doesn't hate me,
but you have to go through that stage, don't you?
We know that.
Do you still clash slightly or she's grown out of that? Well, the thing you do,
I, you clash about the small stuff, but she's, but I've always got the upper hand at the moment
because she's wearing all my clothes. So I'm like, don't shout at me mate, you're in my old clothes. you're still rely on me. thro, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're the the the that, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thrown. the thrown. the thrown. thrown. the the thin. the the the th. the the the the throwne. throwne. throwne. ththat because you're really trendy or is it
because it's old stuff that has come back again, Faye? What is it? She does refer to it as
vintage. That's true. That is, you pretty much, you pretty much get the nail on the head
there. Me? I mean, not a chance of me fitting into them. Okay. But she's in that thing where she can, you know, need a cuddle but also th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to thi thi to to thi to thi to thi. thi. thi. to thi. to to to to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. to be to to to thi. to to to to to toe. toe. toeea. toea. toeea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. thea. the. the. But she's in that thing where she can you know
need a cuddle but also tell me she hates me at the same time. All in the same
breath. So much to look forward to you guys. So when did you was you tempted to
have like a third like or did you only ever want to? As they were getting older. Because some people do that and they have like a 10-year-old and an 8 and I and I and I and I and I and I and I and I and I and I and I and I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So th. th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all, th. So, th. So, they. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, they. So, they. So, their, their, their, their, the the their, the the their, the their their their their their their their their they have like a 10 year old and an 8 year old and I think oh I want a baby again or was you happy to tap out to? If I could have a baby now
I'm looking for someone to breastfeed. I mean literally it's like it's like a
mission. The husband's not that keen but no I do I see I have said to somebody I
there's probably not a lot in there, but could I breastfeed your baby?
And they do look scared.
But I, yeah, if I could, my friends, I would.
But I also, I also do look at your lives and feel a bit sorry for you.
So it's hard work, it is such hard work.
And it was, and there is an element of when you get to this stage,
it does feel a bit like a holiday.
You are parenting in such a different way.
I feel like it's sort of a head of a gang.
You have to also adopt a new language as well, you know.
Can I ask if you're try to, because me and Rob have had a debate over the last couple of weeks about how out of touch I am with young folk, youth culture. Yeah. Yeah. Do you try and get into the same, are you
trying to listen to their music? You're trying to be across their TV shows. Are you on TikTok? Or are you going, I'm not part of that? I'm not trying, but I am, you inevitably get drawn into it, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be drawn, their, their, their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, to be to be the same, you, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the same the same the same the same the same the same the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same, the same.... You, the same, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the same.. You, you, you, the same. the same, the same, the same, the same, the. try try try try try try try try and try try and try and try try and try and try and try to, to, to, to, to, into it, to be honest, a bit of the gang culture.
That you know, you sort of can't help it really.
I mean, like my 14-year-old son,
before the pandemic and all that,
bought and sold like designer trainers and clothes from Supreme and different places.
And so from about 11, I found myself queuing at 4 in the
morning for really expensive trainers along with... Is he a hype beast? Yeah
basically. That's what they're called in it, Hype Beast. I don't know my depth.
And I'd be in the queue then because he's too young to do it and it's sort of illegal maybe for him to be there at tall and then... And are people going is Fay Ripley getting up at 4 a 4...................... I.. I. I. I. I. I. to. to. to. to. to. to.m. to.m.m. to. the to.m. to. t. t. t. t. I. I. I. I. I'm. the. I'm. t. I. I'm. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. t. I. I. I. I. I. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the.. the. the........................................... to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t. to. the. t. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to be there at all and then... And are people going is Fay Ripley getting up at 4 a.m. to buy expensive trains? She wants a Louis Vuitton hoodie
with Supreme written across for eight grand more than any of them. I'd love to
think that these 18-year-old height beasts knew who the hell I was. I was getting them all breakfast
and making sure they were hydrated. That's what I was doing. And there was not one fan of cold feet in that
queue? No, not of that age. I'll tell you where the fans of cold feet are. I'm a
vaccine volunteer, thank you very much, and I help, they're all there, they're all in
their 80s. They're loving it. Those cues, they know exactly who I am, even in a mask. Have you found out that, have you found as the the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccines the vaccine the vaccine the vaccine the vaccine the the the the the that that that that that that that that that that, not not not not, not, not, not, not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of not of that, not of of of of of of of that, not of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of that, not of that, not of that, not of that that their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their age. their their age. their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that th. Those cues, they know exactly who I am, even in a mask.
Faye, have you found out that, have you found as the vaccines have been handed out to younger
younger people, you're getting less and less recognized? That is exactly what's happening.
It's just swaggering around the vaccine center, giving it a large, and then, oh no, it's the
40s. Oh, sorry, I can't talk. I'm on the phone to John Thompson. Exactly.
The second jab, you're going to get a second go at the start thing.
Wonderful, great news for the second jab for me.
And do they all say to the older fans you have, oh I didn't know you weren't from Manchester?
Yes, it's a worry for me if they don't.
I still can't deal with it, Faye. Really? Every time I'm like, oh yeah, of course.
That's your range.
I'm going to be honest with you, I've never really bought my accent in.
Haven't you?
No, I think you've been unfair and I always questioned it.
I think, I think it's, I think, you've got to remember,
we've been brought up on Daphne from Frazier. Any good Manchester accent are we're buying it back. No, fair enough. If that's your benchmark, I agree. I totally agree.
So you're buying trainers at 4 a.m. for your son. I am and sort of, you know, I'm try,
the point is I'm, I sort of, you do get sucked into their sort of world by definition. I'm more sort of slightly lagging behind. So I was still on Radio 1 and those DJs for quite a few years
and they'd moved well on from that.
And so then I have to go, oh, okay,
what am I meant to be listening to now?
What have they on now?
What have they moved on to?
I don't listen to anything conventional or find it in any conventional way.
They're down the record shop? No they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're to to to they're they're they they they they they they to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. I th to th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Like, they're down the record shop. No long players, no.
No.
No.
They haven't been to our price once, have they thought?
Which is odd.
But they give me stuff on my playlist to listen to
that, you know, that they'll find for me and put on there.
So what are you listening?
What are the points where your tastes meet? They probably meet, well, maybe around Canye.
That's a, yeah, probably.
I think that's where that's a good middle ground.
Middle-aged people meet young people, probably.
It's hard, it's quite hard to keep up.
What I've noticed is, there's a shift from where you are,
where they, your kids, they can be stroppy or whatever,
but they look up to you and they need your guidance to when you see your kids look at you with pity.
And that's I think that's where I'm at. When does it happen? That happened recent my 18 year old
looked at me literally like two days ago and went oh you you really need to get a life.
And she wasn't saying it to be mean. She was it was genuine she was like what you've got is not enough.
That my friends is ahead. Wow. What had you done? Well that's the point. She was planning her week ahead and she saw my diary which was basically you guys at 10 in the morning which I was quite
excited about and she was like was so that's it and I was yeah maybe that's
maybe it so what are you doing with your weekend do you spend your
weeks obviously this is 10 a.m. on Saturday my weekend is dictated by my
daughter how much is your weekend going to overlap with your children's weekend? I'm still sort of, this thi thi thi thi thi thi thi? thi? thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to thi to to to to to thi to thi to thi to thi thi to thi to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. How much is your weekend going to overlap with
your children's weekend? I'm still sort of, it still does overlap, but it's mainly, you know,
that sort of cliche of being the driver. So because they don't drive, I'm still needed. Thank God.
Okay. So I'm not going to buy them a car. Okay, that's clear because otherwise
then what's the point of me? Yes, and they'll leave you won't they? Yeah. And you
don't want to give him the vehicle. A prison warden wouldn't dig a tunnel for
the prisoner. Exactly. Exactly, that's how they feel and that's how I feel. Are you going to get them insured on your car?
That's going to be so expensive.
I don't know.
I don't want to.
You're earning, mate.
I know, it's not about the finance, Faye.
It's about the principal, isn't it, though?
Because they've got to, if they've got, like, they're not, no where nothing's open to have a job is there really? My son's the new Alan Sugar mate. He's got, yeah, yeah, my son's literally gonna, he's gonna buy me
everything when he's older. That's the deal. Is he quite a bit of an entrepreneur then?
He's amazing. Total entrepreneur, he's he put, you put a five in and it turns into a tenor. My daughter, my daughter, thii. My daughter, my daughter, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thu, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he, he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's he, he's he's he's he's he's he's he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna, he's gonna he's gonna, he's gonna daughter, I have to tell you, but my daughter's
finance it. So when she was at school, she would get the bus to school and she would walk
to the bus stop and I'd wave a goodbye and she'd text me and she'd text me when she got to school.
And there was a time when she was about 14 and she was texting me and the text were really quick after she'd left home.
She'd been getting Uber's from the bus stop. Oh my word.
Wrapped up two grand? Two grand? Two grand?
Two grand! Two grand! Wow! So they've got your Uber account in case I get stuck
somewhere for an emergency, but she got two thinneed. She didn't. She just
went into my phone and worked it out. So you didn't even th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thuuuuuuu- thu- thu- thu- thu- thu- thu- thu thu thu- thu- to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thu thu thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thea. thea'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'uuuuuuuuu. tooooooo'a'er. tooooo'a'a'ea' to to to them. She didn't. She didn't. She just finessed it. She just went into my phone and worked it out.
Oh, so you didn't even put her on it? That is naughty. I think you should speak to the police. She had to pay it back. She had to pay it back. How did she pay it back? Well, she's had four years. Can I say, she was meant to be going on holiday that summer? She didn't go. Oh, to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to. to to the. to. to. to. the. to the. the. the. this Faye that I want to know that I want to know

I don't know, 14, 15 maybe?
Oh my god, the thought of telling a 14-year-old daughter that she couldn't go and hold of them.
Oh my god.
But you've got to do it.
It was tough.
I mean, we're still, we're still shaking, uh, four years later.
It's still, it's still there, very much a scar on the family.
But it's hopefully, like now, obviously now we feel a bit more, a bit safer about the Uber account now.
So, oh my God.
My daughter, I think she's still punishing me for having had my son, having had a second child.
Do you have got that with your oldest?
Well, my second child is being born in a month about.
We'll find out.
Yeah, so we're about to find out how that works out.
Oh, that's so interesting.
Let's see how that works out.
My daughter...
I was hoping you're going to say that's so magnificent.
I'm so great, but you said interesting, which made worry. Well, it's she, my daughter, we will, don't do this.
You've got such an interesting time.
Don't do what we did, right?
My husband, when I gave birth and he went back to get her
to then bring her to the hospital or whatever to meet her brother.
And he, and she said, what does he look like?
And as a joke, my husband showed her a picture of herself.
Okay, how to mess with it.
Oh my gosh.
And she just went ashen,
and when you've given birth to another me,
and it was not good.
Oh, she was four.
She was four.
And she, from that day on, to now, has never drawn a picture that included her brother.
Oh my God, Faye.
Oh my God, she's mental.
We might just hand this audio recording over to the police.
This feels like the start of a Netflix doc.
Yeah, but she includes the dog.
She includes the dog.
Do they not get on still or do they just not?
She gets on, but it's like, sorry, I didn't ask th to to ask to ask to ask to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to bethe dog, Barry. Do they not get on still or do they just not? No, she gets on but it's like,
sorry, I didn't ask for that. I didn't ask for the second one. I wanted to be an only child and
I've got lumber with him, he's perfectly all right, but it's, you know, just gets in my way.
Did you have siblings, Faye? I have a really weird setup where I was an only child, the marriage of my marriage the marriage the marriage the marriage the marriage the marriage the marriage the marriage th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi thi thi, thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was to to to to to to to to to to to thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th. I th. I th. I to th. I th.

So sort of felt like an only child,
but they split up when I was two,
so I never knew any different.
And there was siblings, so then I had like half brother
and a half sister,
but also step brothers and sisters
that I was all brought up with as though we were all.
So it was a real mellange.
Blended to the new word, isn't it? Very blended.
Quite blended quite early on in history for blending, you feel.
But yeah, it was good, you know, it was a big load.
Well, basically I had a weird mix where my mom lived in a tiny little cottage
with my little sister, we had an outside toilet, and then my dad lived on a massive estate and I had my own thoen.. the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the theat theat theat theeer th was theee' the. It was the. It was the. It was the. It was the. It was the, it was the, it was th. th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was th. It was the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thee theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Do you know I mean? It was a weird, it was weird my childhood. I think that we're going back to your daughter's
Uber bill. I think there's always one, you know, in a family, one of the kids always does
something like that, whether it's a phone bill or something like that where it's the first time they pushed their luck and see what I can get the their their off. My brother did have a phone bill once and you have to pay it back and it's just sort
of boundaries, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think what's interesting is how long it took you to notice?
Yes, I don't know.
Because I'd take some ubers and I was like, I didn't. And if it's over a long period, it does that that that that's over a, yeah, th. Yeah, it does, it does, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, I, I, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, I, I, th. Yeah, I, th. th. th. th. th. I, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, I th.

I th. I thin when it felt, when the scales fell from your eyes like?
That must have just been.
It was on my husband's birthday
and we were in a restaurant and we had to leave.
We had to leave, yeah.
Because he started going through it
and my son and I, the thing,
the overriding thing, my son And we were like, and my husband going, oh my God, oh my God, as he was flicking
through the thing.
Was your daughter there as well?
Yeah.
Yeah, and that was kicking off.
Oh my word.
My son and I had ordered some calumari.
We were like, the teenage girl. And we're really keen to not walk out it it it it the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. tho. tho. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, to. Oh, the to. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, the tho. You're having calamari watching a teenage girl.
This is a treat. This whole outing is a treat.
A treat.
A treat like, we've been looking forward to that calumary for a long time.
So it was like a big family night out.
Yeah. So then what did she say when you first discovered all the receipts? you know, as a mom, I just felt sorry for her because she's been caught. Like it's an awful thing. I've been caught, like it's awful.
And you sort of go, part of me just wanted to give her a big hug, but it was having to go,
no, this is really serious, but also when she goes, oh it's okay, don't worry,
don't worry, drain my account. It's a life lesson, isn't it in your teenage years? It is. It is. What advice, you know, because I've got two daughters, Josh has got a daughter
and like I'm petrified of the teenage years of a young woman. And you've just gone through that basis.
She's 18 and still sort of on the press on the edge of that. Is it any bit of advice because you're not too long ago that you could give us? Um, the bit of advice about it coming up, I mean, oh mate, I...
When does it start to change?
I think about 11.
Oh, leave off! For the girls?
For the girls?
Oh, leave off! I think my daughter's closer to that than she was being born.
Yeah. I mean, it's really soon.
Winter is coming.
Winter is coming.
Just see it as a beautiful learning curve of getting to know what it's like to get into a woman's head
because that's where they're heading.
I know. It's hard.
Yeah, so like in 10 years time, I'll have a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old and that, and that, and that is-old, and that is-old, and that is-old, and that is-old, and that is-old, and that is-old, and that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is going, and that is going, and that is going, and that is going that is going, and that is going that is going that is going that is that is that is that's that's like that's like that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, and I that is that is that is th-old, and I th-old, and I th-old, and I th-old, and th-old, and th-old, and th-old, and that is going that is going that is going that is going that is going th-a thii thii thii thii thi thi thi thi thi thi that's thi that's'll have a 15 year old and a 13 year old, and that is going to be peak.
So 2031, I should just book the whole year off.
Or book a tour.
Book a tour.
There you go.
Escape.
Oh, man.
It's great.
It's great.
Listen, it's, they are brilliant is the sort of, you know,
the Kevin and Perry stuff from all those years ago
of the teenage, it's pretty spot on to be honest.
Yeah.
Like it's not far off.
The shouting when you say morning and they go,
why are you shouting at me?
And you go what just say good morning and here's a cup of tea it's all
quite volatile and quite sort of like you don't know where the edges are but
does it irritate more if you're calm with them that is a tool yeah that's a
tool oh god the terminology stressing me out a tool like we're talking about
like a sort of some diplomacy like that's t could use. But then they just say, don't patronize me.
So it's not like the tools that used to use
on your kids when they were little,
they don't come back at you with much,
do you know what I mean?
But it's they're just, it's constantly becoming better at it thin.
So it's hard if they're like pity in you and then you're looking at them going,
it's 4 a.m. and we're cune for trainers, mate.
I know, you know, it's a collab.
But go on.
Exactly.
What's it like getting your time back?
Like when you've suddenly look at your weekend or you're not doing bedtime or? Well, that's the thing is that I'm not letting,
I actually asked my son what's kind of like,
before I did this, I said, well, what's the best thing about me as a mom
and the worst thing about me as mom?
And the best thing was that I still, I'm basically, I still tuck him in.
Do you know what I mean? I still do all that and it's the sort of that sort of nurturing thing but he said the worst oh no that's what he said he said the best thing was he knew that if he
murdered someone I'd take the rap
actually that is what you said yeah but do you know what why that's not true
why because you could have said that you'd used all those Uber yeah true but then didn't take the right I didn't actually know that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th that's thrue the the thee thee thee thee thee thee thee that's the thing the thing the thing thing thing thing th th th th th th th th th that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th th th th th th th th thrue thrue thrue thrue thrue thrue thrue to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the thrue the thrue thrue thrue thrue all those Uber's. Yeah, true.
But then- You didn't take the right-
Yeah, I didn't actually know that's true. So cut, oh, that's awful.
But don't let him know that.
No. Don't let him know that.
Oh, I think that's the greatest vote of confidence, though, for your love. That's a wonderful way of that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that's that. that's that's that's that. that's that. that's that's that. that's that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that. that. that's. that's. that's. that. that's. that. that. that. that's that. that's. that. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. really is poetic. What was the worst thing he said? Oh it's the the oh yeah the over protective thing so I don't need to stand in the merch queue
anymore but I'm still there. Oh yeah full tech yeah because you could drop him off in the queue and
then go for a coffee somewhere if you can't you know too young to go up to London or whatever early hours but you're in're in the queue. I'm hovering. How are you with their friends?
I'm, I took, yeah, I mean I always like to try and make them like me. I'm needy.
Are you like that, you know, it's that thing, please like me. And then you're looking at a but still it's the same sort of relationship.
I miss the stage of when kids on play dates call me mom by mistake.
Like I remember what I had to wipe some kids' ass and he's like, thanks mom.
And I'm like, oh, you're all right mate.
But those are the same kids are coming on playdates now, basically.
You're not still wiping their ass, are you thin? I'm not. I th. It th. It th. It th. It's their kids are coming on play dates now basically. So you're not still wiping their ass are you, no? No, I'm not. I'm not. It's a bit much in it when they're 14. Yeah.
Can wipe their own ass. Some of them do, some of them don't, I would say, at this stage.
Have there been any boyfriends or girlfriends coming over or that? Well the pandemic sort of slightly tho' thiiiolough. the pandemic the pandemic thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Well, thi. Well, thi. Well, thi. Well, thi. Well, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoomoomoomoomoomb-s. their, their, their, I'm not, I's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, their, their, their, their, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's, their. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's their. their. their. their. their. their. their th. their th. their their th. their th. their th. thooooooooooooooooomu. It's not. their their their that. I mean that's the other thing is that the lockdown stuff obviously been incredibly hard for young people. I totally stand by
that like for the likes of me who were in at some sort of semi-retirement it's
sort of just okay but the the young people awful but I haven't had to do the
so much driving around and also so much worrying about who are you
getting with right now, where are you getting with them and you know everything else.
It's like what drugs and alcohol is happening.
No, they're all at home under my roof being safe.
So, but for them, it's sort of put a stop to all that sort of mixing.
Yeah. It's hard.
That's the age where you are out and about all the time going to house parties and bars and stuff, especially for you 18 year old. And is she at uni or?
She's not. She's still in the eight level stage, but I mean I haven't been able to have any affairs,
so they haven't either. You know, it's got a stop to it for all of us. And how's your husband with like, is he similar to that, that, that, that, the that, the that, th, is th, is the th, is th, is the th, is th, is th, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is a thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is to is, is thi, is, is thi, is, is thi, is the the th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is th, is the the the th, is a the the the thi, is a the thi, is a the the thi, is a thi, is a they they thi, is a they they the, is a thi, is thus, is thi is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is he similar to you? He's okay to not have affairs. He's found a way.
He's a dryer. He goes on the dog walk. But like is he similar to you of like,
misses them being young and still sort of is like, it's not baby in them but like you want them to be
your little darlings or is he quite happy that they're growing up and becoming more independent?
He's, he's half Italian. So he's quite tried to to to to th.. to to th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. He's th. He's th. He's their their th. He's th. He's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's the. He's the. He's thei. He's thei. He's th. He's thei. He's th. He's the. He's thi. He's thi. He's thi. He's th. He's half Italian, so he's quite trad,
that sort of Italian dad thing.
I have to sort of pull him back off the edge of,
you know, Godfather music playing in the background
when he gives the speech to them about how to behave.
We're both pretty soppy with them.
I think that will be the thing that they will find and are finding probably the most annoying and claustrophophophophophophoph. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they will be the thing that they will find and are finding probably the most annoying and claustrophobic I'm gonna say. I think they use
the claustrophobic word quite a lot with us. But I think that's they'll appreciate
that in hindsight. Will I hope so? Hope so Josh. Have you done anything though?
Where like they'll always think your parents are being too over like cautious but if you ever done anything you just thought
I've gone too far here you know trying to find where they are and all that
kind of stuff I've just had visions of myself parts I've outside pubs waiting
for them all night I mean a hundred percent I did a drive-by when
when they might drop my daughter had a party I dropped her and thought I'm just going to do a drive-by.
But at the time... Not a drive-by killing. No, no, it's just a drive-by. Like just a double check, she got in okay and that they weren't all hanging about outside. What I hadn't factored in was that at the time
I was in a white Range Rover in a like neon jacket was very highly visible is what I'm saying.
But also that the house...
Why have you got a white ranger...
I didn't have you as a white rangerover person, I don't know.
My husband didn't want it.
I really like really flashy cars and my husband likes really boring cars.
So it's a thing.
But the, anyway, I was in for a brief time, I had a flashy car. But the party, what I didn I didn I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't I didn't th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. th. th. the the th. the the th. the the th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the the. the. the the. th. the. the th. the th. the the th. But the, anyway, I was in for a brief time, I had a flashy car. And but the party, what I didn't realize was in a one-way system.
So I got, I got looped into it.
I kept going round and round and around and she was outside going, my mom is literally
driving past every five minutes.
And everyone was like, there's your mom off the telly. Oh, wow, she is really driving by a lot. So. So. So. So. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the thi. the thi. the th. the the the the the the the party. the party. the party. the party. the party, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. the party. the party. the party. the party. the party. the party. the party. the party. the party. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the off the tele. And she's, oh wow, she is really driving by a lot.
So, um.
In a white range.
Yeah.
Oh my god, I was like, just signed for Man City.
And do they recognize you off the tele, though?
Do they recognize you off the tele, thean. Do they recognize you off the tell. their th. th that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. thi. their. to. to. their. their. to. to. to. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

And, they. the to. to. to. to. to. the to. the the the to. the the the the the the the the the the the doing A-Levels, but do they know you as the lady off the telly? And how's that for your daughter?
Does she like that or is it embarrassing?
I mean, look, my level of recognition with people is not, you know, I'm not Madonna,
so it's okay. the level's okay. You know, let's not the same car, yeah. I mean I'm trying, clearly I'm trying to get recognised more than I deserve to get. It's very much trying to signal, hey everyone. Hey guys. But the kids were brought
up as yours probably are that they are the ones who have to take the picture on people's phones. So they're used to because they go, they get shoved a thing. They just go here, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, th, th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I th. I's, th. thi, thi, thin, that, thin, that, thin, that, try, try, try, try, to try, to thi, thi, thi, thi, th're used to because they go they get shoved a thing nobody care they just go here take a picture of me and your mom and that has all that's
what they used to I find that I find that annoying they're too young to be
done that now but I think I find that annoying I find it annoying when they're
like to loo my wife and they just like you do that I'm like well I'm just I'm just just pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm pleased I'm, are just begging for it. I'm really genuinely grateful. Are they either of them interested in acting?
My daughter is literally, I mean,
there's been this recent very weird switch
where we haven't let, my daughter, who has said she's wanted to be an actress for a while,
and we've said, no, you cannot do anything, like, just stay with school stuff. Anyway, we, like, like, two, th th th th th th th th th th th th th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, like, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, th, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, theeeeeeeeeeeeat, they're, they're either, they're either, they're either, they're either, they're either, they, they're either, a while. And we've said, no, you cannot do anything, like just stay with school stuff.
Anyway, we, like two months ago said, oh, fine, okay, go for it.
And she's managed to bag herself as massive agent, and she's off,
she's off and flying.
Anyway, I find myself, I'm having to, like, I'm the voice behind the camera now putting her on tape as an audition now. I'm like, you're just the you're just the other side of the audition type. I'm like I was an
army colonel yesterday. You're doing the scenes with her? Yeah I'm having to I'm
putting she's getting loads of auditions and I'm now reading in with her to
help I'm like, hang on a minute what? Hey? I'm the actress, not you? Are you hoping that they're going to get back in touch
and go, we're not going to have you, but that woman that played the Colonel was phenomenal?
Extraordinary. What a wonderful take on the... She's from Manchester. Yeah, but soon I'll be holding
the camera. You know, that's what will happen, no doubt with my daughter. And do you love that that she's following in your footsteps? the the the their their their their their their their their their their the ca? the c. the c. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi. thi. thi thoes thi. thi. thi. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going that's going to to to to to to to be th. to be th. to be th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. thooooooooooooooooooooes. to to to to thooooooooooooooooes. I that's the. So, um, and do you love that that she's following in your footsteps?
No, uh, course not.
No, it's awful.
It's a terrible job.
Um, I mean, actresses and actors who go on about, your husband's an actor, is that,
that's right.
Yes, yes, we're totally over it. It's, I mean, no, obviously, obviously it has its upsides, but, White Rangrove,
but, but, no, I mean, it's hard, it's a really hard thing, you just get rejected every day of your life,
basically, and then every now and then you don't get rejected, but it's sort of, it's a tough one to wish on your kid because it's it is great on many many levels it's great but it's it's quite tough
it is quite tough on the ego. Is she going to go away to stage school is the
wrong word isn't it? Drama school or something like that. I don't know I
think she might just get in there I think she might just go in there I think she might just go because you know the one of the things that you're selling at her stage is her youth so I think she might just go for that but she she may
go to drums because she may do that I'm not sure yet but and with their
parting and stuff when they're teenagers did they I don't know how much of a
tear away you were but like I hear on the grapevine that teenagers are they're not into drinking and they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th th th th are th are the the too try try to try to try to to try to to to to try to the the the the the the and they're not into you know they're far more into health and stuff like that. Has a Jesuit priest told you
that? I don't know but that's what they say about students and stuff. You've got that
a horrofle? No I think they've moved away from drink and it's just drugs now they do young people. Oh that's good. Yeah yeah yeah exactly. And how do you manage the drinking and stuff? th. their. th. their. their. their. their. their. they. they. they. they. they. they're. they're. they're. they're. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah, that. Yeah your rules? I mean, I have to, well, the rules,
I don't even know, look at me,
trying to work out what my rules are.
I-
There are no rules.
There, we don't, like, I'm not one of the parents
who say, have a drink to my kids.
I know quite people have done that where they want to drink with their children. I don't get that.
No.
I used to be quite shocked that my daughter would go to somebody's house and say, oh yeah,
and they offered me a drink and I'm like, they did what?
You're six.
I'm like, hello, Marjorie.
Do you think that's wise?
She's only 16. So I don't don't don't do th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I don't don't th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't th. I don't think think think think think tho thi. I don't that. I don't that. I don't that. I'm that's that's that's that's to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be that. I'm that. I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thiolough. thiolough. thioloughe. thoooooooooooooooomorrow. I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's wise? She's only 16. So I don't do that. I don't like doing the
partying with them. I don't understand that. But I, you know what, it's that control thing.
We just do a lot of picking up, as you say, waiting outside at 2 in the morning, because that way
you can kind of keep an eye on it. Luckily, my daughter doesn't really like the taste of alcohol. I didn't, I didn't drink until I was, I don't know, mid-20s.
I mean, then I did everything, but, um,
but I did do it all late.
Yeah, cool, yeah.
Well, I think really alcohol's for older people to cope.
It's not really, you know, life's too good at 18, you know. You know, life's too, I'm the the the the th. the the th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I's thi, I'm thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I did, I did, I thi, I thi. I thi. Yeah, I thi. Yeah, I th. Yeah, I th. Yeah, I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, I I I I, I, I I, I, I, I, I, I th. I th. I th. I thin, I thin, I thin, I'm, I'm thin, I'm thin, I thin, I thin, I did, I thin, I thin. Yeah, I thin. Yeah, I did, I th. Yeah, thin. Yeah, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I even just so I don't feel anymore. That's that's what most parents do.
You know, I'm not doing it for a buzz.
I'm doing it, you know.
For a numbing.
It's numbing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lovely.
When will you let your kids have their first drink?
I don't know.
I would agree with you.
I wouldn't be like forcing. getting drunk with my children is an odd one. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think, I think really I'm drinking less and less
as I'm getting older.
And then by the time they get to fifth that
another 10 years time when they're 15 and 13,
and that's when you may let them have a sip of wine or whatever.
I think, I think I'd let them try beer at 13 and they realize it's absolutely horrible. You're going to do the same with crack cocaine?
Yes, they are.
That's too good though, that's nice.
That's the problem.
That is lovely, you know?
Where drink isn't it, unless you have loads.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think you don't want them to like and have never touched it and you'd be angry if they did because it's sort of like a middle ground isn't it
where they you know it's all a middle ground. When you've picked your daughter
up at 2 a.m. and she is she drunk and your how do you feel in that
the dynamic we've had is that she's normally with a mate who is drunk so so she's normally one looking after if you know I mean that's that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. I th. I'm to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their. their. I'm I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm their. I'm th. I'm thr-I. I'm thrown. I'm thrown. I'm thrown. I'm to to to to thrown. I's to to thrown. people's drunk kids is a whole other thing
of responsibility and anger.
I mean I've always been quite angry on a play date, I'm going to be honest as a mom.
Have you?
Yeah, always quite angry with the other kids just for the lack of manners and the-
I'm terrible.
I cannot do. If someone's kid is a bit naughty and I'm just like, I find it so hard not to just start being like the enforcement officer. Yeah. And go you're saying thank for that
get off the sofa now. Yeah I do do I agree with you. What are you doing? Like all
the or picking at the food you've made for them and you're going oh oh sorry
that a salmon on crout isn't doing it for you yeah but it's like that's what I've made you. This is what we eat here? Yeah. We had a trope a couple years ago, we had a big birthday party,
and we had a big bouncy castle in the garden.
And this kid coming, he had my Nintendo DS,
and I want to play on this.
I went, there's a bouncy castle there.
He went, I don't care.
Guess on it. Get on the Belty Castle, wait! What parent is sending their kid to a kid's party with a DS?
No, it was my one, he was trying to play.
Oh.
Yes.
He sniffed it out.
Sniff out a bit of Mario.
He wanted a bit of Italian plumbing.
Get the beltie.
Your gaming chair is it.
It's upsetting me.
Oh, what, but right on, why is it upsetting you, Fay? And when have you seen it? Are you in my house?
On Instagram.
On Instagram.
Yeah, why do you not like it?
Um, because you're a grown man.
Look, Faye, I've a grown man that games, plus I've been doing a lot of podcasting
and writing and I've been getting a bad back. I've been told by a chiropractor to practice to practice to practice to practice by to practice by to practice by to practice by practice by practice by practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice by by by by by by a practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thi. thi. their toooo. to to to to to to to to me. told by a chiropractor to get this chair and also I'm not allowed to sleep on. They did not tell you to get a gaming.
He gave me a ball to sit on, but it was too much for my quarter handle, you're bouncing
pregnancy balls.
But if you sleep on your front, I sleep on your front, I sleep on your front.
But if you sleep on your front, I sly sleep on their front. And Rob Beckett. And Rob Beckett.
It's bad for you though.
I never thought I would be saying Faye Ripley.
Which side do you sleep on?
Well, thank you for asking.
I'm going to say all sides.
All sides?
All sides?
Yes. 360? If that sits all side? Yeah, yeah, is that? I go on side, I go on side, I think.
I can't do back. Back's impossible. That's impossible. If you sleep on your back all night,
you're doing too much in the day. You're too tired. Or you're drinking too much. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it's a bit of an ugly chair, but it's doing wonders to my posture Faye. You're sitting on it now or I'm sitting on it now, yeah. I can recline fully if I need to, but I never have needed to, but it's good to know
you've got the option.
It's the headdress bit that one's very aware of.
As your son got a gaming chair, does he play on online games?
He doesn't because I am still in control of him and I will not in any way allow a gaming chair into my rather lovely home.
I understand they are ugly, but forget the chair.
Does he play online gaming though?
Yes, he does.
Warzone or fortnight and stuff like that?
Sure.
And you prefer him to be killing people online than sitting in a gaming chair.
Yeah, that's fine. It's all about the aesthetic.
It's true, but the problem is the aesthetic of my back, I was turning into like a hunchback.
So, you know, you've got to put your body first, Fay.
I've always said that.
Yeah, and it's clear that you do.
I do put a body up.
Sorry, Rob, it sounded like you were cracking off. Well, yeah, I'm not cracking off. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, I. I, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not cracking. I'm not cracking. I'm th. I'm not cracking. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's theeeeea. thea. theea. the. the. the. the. the. Go middle ground. Let's just listen to our bodies and put our bodies first.
Our bodies first.
Faye, this has been amazing.
I think you've got one last question, Faye, that we would like to ask all our guests.
Is that something that your partner does, parenting wise that drives you mad that
you haven't said to him because it would cause a big argument but deep
down every times it annoys it's... it something from when the kids were younger that used to piss you off?
I get a feeling you would have told him already, Fay.
Well, because it's only been 45 minutes
and you've told me off about my chair.
And you've not even actually seen it in the flesh.
You've seen a snippet of a headrest. There's quite a long list, and you're right. I'm there, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thin, thiii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, open with my thoughts, my negative thoughts.
Oh, probably the thing with my husband, and it's something that my son says in the house a lot,
he says, oh, the actor's house, is because my husband does quite a lot of monologuing.
So the monologues, which my son refers to the sort of Shakespearean monologues, is like,
if, okay, you know, yes, there's some dirty pants on the floor and they need picking up,
I'll just go, pick your blum dirty pants up, but my husband's habit of, you know, it shows
enormous disrespect, you know, household, and that is when, and bless him,
everything you're saying is right, but it's one, rhyming, two, like really, really long,
and that is when my son identifies it as, dad, you're not at the globe now.
Oh, let me just, yeah, let me just pick up my pants and stick him in the laundry.
Oh wow. Oh Faye, that's been amazing, thank you so much.
Oh, bless you guys. Well, enjoy your push chairs and your car seats and your breastfeeding. I will do. Thank you. Thank you, Fay. Favorite, the tha. Oh, the tha. tha. to do. We will do it. You do.

You go, you do, you do.
Do you know, Robber, let's keep him.
Oh, Kayla, we are quite pretty, you know, we're not always slick professionals.
No, exactly.
I love Faye Ripley. She's so funny.
She's brilliant. She's so funny.
She's so funny. So honest as well. Yeah, a lot of stuff talk about the division of her in that white range.
She's so funny because like you thought you'd have run paper as being fairly sort of a
looof parent, quite chilled out and like whatever, but she's obviously still like, what are my kids
doing?
I really quite, I thought I'd love Faye Ripley to be my mom.
Like she came across as a great mom. She will hate that. I'd love tha tha tha tha tha tha thuuuuuuuuuu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I to thu. I thu. I'd to to to to to thu.

Cool younger sister. No, that was really good. That bill, that YouTube bill, not YouTube. that Uber bill. Oh, that was at four or five years ago, Uber's were dirt cheap, weren't they? Trying to get in and then now they're normal price.
Yeah, two grounds worth of Uber's.
What's that Uber gonna, say that Uber's costing,
I don't think it's costing a 10-up because that,
the school's not that far away.
No.
But she was doing it, banning the summer holiday.
Oh my god, I would not have enjoyed that week when your child is at home when they should
have gone to holiday.
Exactly.
Or you do the other option.
You put your child in an Uber to rack up another two grand bill but they're not allowed
out of the Uber.

You like Uber, you're going to have an Uber.
