They're living in Auckland means we have been in four lockdowns which has meant about 12 weeks in total. It's been a long time in lockdown but rooms are swelling around that won't be long until a new one. Oh no, the podcast is hilarious and I've recommended it to every parent I know.

If you see me in the street
Starting point is 00:08:25 and you want to know what wins best drama, slip me 20 quid, I'll let you know. See I'm doing that next week, so I'd have to have a meeting about that. So, bite Legoland was the main parent. Can you can you bet on the TV choice award, Rob's up back to the future when he finds the almanac. Exactly, you're going to be the one person in the world that knows the results of the TV Choice Award. To you fair though, like, you know, line of duty, what odds are you going to get on that with it? It's probably going to win. It's probably going's the result. Do you know Joe Swash did that once at a perfume award? So Joe Swash got invited to a perfume award to give out an award and the winner was say for example, a D&G perfume, he went and the winner is, Dior, and it wasn't for a laugh.
Starting point is 00:09:19 No. And then Dior started coming up to get their award. I don't know if this was the companies but what say whatever. Well it's old twice it's old thingy isn't it happened at the Oscars didn't it? They didn't do that on purpose so did they? No but. Joe Swash did it for banter? For band? That is cruel. I was once to go back in the day I won't the person. I did a new act competition. Yeah I'm gonna th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I 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. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. 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. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's old. It's old. It's all. It's old. It's all. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th, I'm gonna guess. I'm trying to guess. No, you will never guess because it's not someone that you thought about since 2011. So they announced who had gone through to the next round. Yeah. And we all, and the four people that had gone through to the next round had to go up on stage. Yeah. And then they announced them and there was five people on stage. And one person who just heard their name that hadn't been read out and in front of the whole audience
Starting point is 00:10:08 they had to kind of regretfully walk back off stage. Oh my God, so that's bad if you, if you get the numbers wrong in bingo and you call out and they read out the numbers, but he thought he'd heard his name. He walked up on the problem with manifesting. Yeah. If you manifest so hard, you think you've heard, oh poor Sod. Oh, it's a shame.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Oh, it's a shame. You know, he got an audition for the Hobbit, so that's fine. For the record, that was not Steve Perry. that's the record, that was that was, that was, that was that was that was th. th. th. th. th. th. 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, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. way, I love Steve Perry. So, go on. Oh yeah. Did you do any parenting this week? Yeah, look, Legoland. Hardcore parenting. How long for?

Starting point is 00:13:23 It's perfect for a 5 and a three yard. We absolutely love it. The cues were fairly long, but early in the morning and late in the afternoon, they're not too bad. We did go reserve and ride, we pay extra, that's just what I do, because the cues are difficult. So when you start talking about your vouch ride, which is a bit pricey, but I just, for me, I think...
Starting point is 00:13:47 That much you're paying, Rob. There's two options. There's the 45 quid a person, which cuts the queue time in half. All cards on the table. I paid for the 90 quid one.

No, but there's a level above that, which I couldn't go for. Which is more money, right? They carry you to the ride? You have a personal assistant. What? I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I don't want to have to talk to someone who works in Legoland all day. Yes, they do. They get you, you wander around with someone employed by Legoland and then they take you to the front of the queue like you, like you're a kid. their thakere, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and then, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and, oh, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and, oh, oh, and, and, and, oh, and, oh, oh, oh, and, and...........

Well you'd have to make conversation with this person who's paid to make conversation with you all day. Absolutely. Exactly. So I did pay the extra but I did pay the extra but I just thought you know what I'm just going to to the summer holiday. to thr, the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the thi. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, I'll, th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Exactly, so I'd pay, I'd have had to pay a similar amount for PCR tests. Yeah, to go to Spain. So I just thought that it's not idiot tax, it's self-love. And also I don't want to queue for an hour and people ask me about
Starting point is 00:15:57 Josh Winnockham all the time. Yes, exactly. People going, I don't want to hear about your vouchers, I want to hear about the audition for the Hobbit. So in the defense of that pricing system, Rob, you don't need to, I feel that money is there to be enjoyed. I've changed, I'll have people, I'm losing listeners, I'm shedding my working class roots by paying extra. That's, don't know what the beauty the haughty toy of my persona is Rob. Yeah, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the that, their, that my my my my their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. Rob, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, they. Rob, they. Rob, they. Rob, they. Rob, they, they, they, they, they, their, and it fits in. Yeah, I look like I've let people down. Whereas me, wait till you hear about a bloody party I had on Saturday. Well, that'll make you feel better about a, yeah. Well, can I say this as well? Because I think this is quite a bit. Because I struggle with anxiety a little bit. One of my big things that's why I never get to a gig really early and wait. I will get there last possible moment just to go out because the long run there.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Why you can't have an advent calendar as well as this is. Yeah, exactly. I can't deal with anticipation and I over the tap and I sort of get into sort of not full panic attack mode, but sometimes it has been that way, which when I broke down in tears on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Which is the, it's a water-based ride with the tiniest drop you've ever, literally, I'd argue, you know, at least the water could cover the tears. Exactly, but like, and it was dark, which was good, but like, you know when you're in the countryside and you go over a little bump in the road and your belly goes over. I'm talking that level of drops, right? And I burst into tears, which is not a sort of emotionally stable reaction, is it? So my plan, I don't want to be like that of my children on rides, okay? So rather than just being a bag holder, I want to treat myself like a toddler,
Starting point is 00:17:39 and so Lou's been wiping my ass, and I'm joking, right? So what I've done is I'm going on the journey of building my confidence up on rides with my kids. So a good way of doing that is being able to not make me cue for an hour because I don't want them to develop my anxiety about rides. So by paying the extra, it's worth it for my own mental state. So we were getting out to get on all the rides. So we, the kids were loving it, we started going all the different rides and I'd end up going on like this dragon ride that's got two big drops and you know they're only five and three but I absolutely loved it and I really enjoyed it because I sort of I was doing all the silly little duplow rides and the tea cups was building up. I did the dragon ride at portons. So I'm are you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. Are th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thrack and thrack and thrik. th. th. th. th. thrack thrack thrack thrack th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the are the don't mind speed. I just can't deal with the anticipation of waiting.
Starting point is 00:18:27 And I can't do drops. The cranking up is awful. So I will have a limit of certain rides. But as long as I'm not in tears on basically the waltzes, that's a good place to be. So I'm building up with the kids. And I'll be a point the the their their their their their. to be their. to be their. to be their. up with the kids and there'll be a point where they go mad ones that I can't do but Lou loves them and she'll do that because I want to go Disney next year so I don't want to not be on the rides of my kids and enjoy it with them so that's why we did it anyway that was absolutely
Starting point is 00:18:51 great we love that my issue with Legoland is when you stay over and they've got you on the complex the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner the dinner the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the ti next next next is is is is is is is is is is is is is next next next next next next to the the the the the the the the the the the your vouchers. No accepted vouchers. I ordered the lamb rump, two lamb chops came out. Oh my word. That's not rump is it? Same animal. Same animal. Same animal. Same, same animal. They brought out an actual sheep.
Starting point is 00:19:14 They said, the rum's in there was a little bit of some places. So it's 25 quid ahead. And you get free courses. The food wasn't all right. It was all right. Yeah, it wasn't. No, the food was shit. The food was shit. If you only got one option? There's a few options.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Some of the things were all. And it's not eating. It's a lot. . . .. T T T T T The's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, fine dining. Do I mean, I want egg and chips in an early night. No, exactly. No one's going to Lego Land for find it.
Starting point is 00:19:49 No, no one's celebrating their anniversary at Legoland, are they? No, they're not. But anyway, I did have a really good time, so I was in the playground area, right, because we stayed there for two days and then the second day I was watching the kids in the playground and I was just watching my kids like climbing up and going down the slides and I went, you're all right mate, I went, yeah, why'd you keep looking at my daughter? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? the that, tho. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the kid, the kid, the the the the the the kids? the kids, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids the kids, I was the kids, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was watching, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was watching, I was, I was, I was, I was, I-year-old daughter? That is not a situation I would ever want to be put in. Right? And then I went, I'm not, that's mine. That's my daughter.
Starting point is 00:20:28 We were arguing, we thought we had the same daughter. Now my head spinne, right? What? Like, what, what? Anyway, this girl, no, no his daughter? I was! And now I've got a no no I was I got some sort of pedo panic like that. No actually my daughter had that outfit on yesterday. Oh my god. It was horrible. In what way were you look like because you're in a park?
Starting point is 00:20:56 No but you know what I mean? You know what you're in a park but there's a big park and they're all. And then so you're watching their. the you know, you're you know, you're like like like like like like like like, so you're like, you're like, you're like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're in like, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're in, you're in like, you're in, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in, you're in a, you're in a, you're in a, you're in a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. You're in a, you're in a the the th. You're in, you're all and then so you watch them but then I'll move around to get a better angle if they're climbing up something yeah yeah I mean you sort of are your fluid I'm not on the bench phone out they might smash their head kind there and I will watch them but no it was that was brutal but yeah yeah that was funny how did he but did he but he bought my story I mean. did he but he bought my story I that that the the the the the they they they. they. th I th I they. th. they th. th. th. th. they they th. th. th. they th.

She was wearing that yesterday and went that, they're mine over there and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:21:31 And yeah, so that's what kind of did. But I wasn't like, you know, I was just rubbing my thighs, lick it. their, I was just rubbing, I'm just, I, I, rubbing, I, I, like, I, like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and..... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, th. that, that, that, pop it. Let's get you an ice cream. Yeah, sorry mate, I've just parted the van up. I was just having a little look around and see what they've got. But yeah, anyway, so that was a bit, a bit stresty. But now, how about, how about, I've got more Lego land, but I'm just absolutely... We've only done 21 minutes Rob. Okay, well I think I could do hours on this. This was something else that doesn't Legoland but really made me laugh. Oh no, where was it?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Where was it? I'll tell you this about Legaland before we move on. I've got to warn our audience about rides at Legoland. Okay, so my advice would be if they're young, build them up, go to Duplo World, there's a little Duplo Dinosaur, get them on that, do all those ones, and then graduate it up, maybe waltzes and stuff like that. There's a little dragon ride, and if they're enjoying that ta're on this big screen life in reality man is a big screen and then you're on this thing you're your feet hang dangling and there's like loads of like seats that turn around it
Starting point is 00:22:57 feels a bit like you're a minority reporter in the future it's really cool yeah it's a great ride and you're not actually going anywhere. They just blow air on your face and heat and a bit of water, like if you're going over water to make it feel like you're going over water and then it drops and it spins and it doesn't actually it makes you feel like you're flying through the world. But my children are too young to understand that's a simulation because it's such great graphics. And there's a bit where you're chasing a dragon. And heads and one of the heads is a lion, one's a shark and one's a falcon and you chase it through to the bottom of volcano where it's all molten lava and red and black and it's screaming and attacking you.
Starting point is 00:23:34 But my kids just lost their mind. Yeah, of course. They thought I just took them to hell. You can't explain it because it feels so real because that's the point of a simulation. So the the that so the the the th th th th th th th th th th th. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's, tho tho tho that's that's, thi. I's, tho. I's, th. I's, tho. I's, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, tho. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi, thi, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, thi. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, they. Oh, the the feels so real because that's the point of a simulation. And so that one, we thought that would be a nice chip, but that one was probably the worst one. Fun for all the family. Insane, someone wheeled their nannin, I had a wheelchair and just pops her on the edge and I was like, this woman, she's going to hate this. It's like some sort of acidry. You know, but yeah, my poor kit, that one is, I'd say, keep them away from that until they're older.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Because it isn't scary like a theme part, right? It's scary as in like a horror film. Yeah, you don't want that. But yeah, so that's a little bit of a Lego land advice. But how are you, Josh? That's enough for me. You had your big birthday party, didn't you? Yeah, we have the party party in the party party party party party party party. the par par par. the party in the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the par. the the the the the the the the the the the par. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thea. thea. thea. thea. theanananana. thea. theme theme theme theme theme the theme the theme the theme parta. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. th'm old. I'm not one of those young people anymore Rob like you. Roll your jeans up, no socks, pair of canvas shoes, pretend you like dual leaper. You're on radio one. Um, so it went very well. Yes, the party. I thinking of going into party planning Rob. Oh, how many, how many attendees did you have in the end? Adults or kids? Yeah, because yours wasn't a drop-off, was it? She's a bit, she's younger and she's not- I wasn't, I wasn't like, let's all go to the park, and I'll look after your kids. It was, um, so I turned up. There was about 15 kids, I'd say. Okay. I'm probably 20 adults, I really want to do a parenting hell festival.
Starting point is 00:25:06 That's my, that's my, that's why I could organize it for you, Rob, after the success of this. We'll take over Victoria Park when people can like, you know, go and visit the little hut you sat in when it was raining. Oh yeah, well you could do like a guide. I did it in Milfields Park in Clampton. Oh, you changed it up because... No, I was never doing it in Victoria Park, Rob. People just assumed that. Oh, that was always a ruse was it? No, I never said the words Victoria Park, right? Oh really?
Starting point is 00:25:32 I said the park, people assumed it. Bang, dealt with. Idiots. I think. I might have to do Rob? Go back and check. I can tell you that for free. But we had a lovely time, Rob. The soft play and the entertainer. Look, you sent me a photo. It looked pretty good that soft play. It's good soft play. Good soft play. He, at the party started at two. They were like, the company were like, you probably need an hour and a half beforehand to set up the soft play. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. to. to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to me, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tod.

And. set up the soft play. So I went ahead, met him at 1230. Yeah. It was set up by one. He went, he went to get a sandwich and I was literally left in the park alone. Surely he should be in charge of it? Well, he was like, can I go and get a sandwich before the
Starting point is 00:26:14 kids turn up? I was like, yeah, and then before I knew it, I'm basically some weirdo sitting with a soft play drinking beer on my own. I'm random. I. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I was. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th.

I'll be honest with you. Hiding in plain sight. Hiding in plain sight, just watching other people's kids like you do. Yeah, and they walked out of the outfit yesterday. They've got no clothes on. There was a cricket match at the other end of the park. I watched that from a thi. I. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was th. I was th.

I mean, yeah, that is back, that would, yeah, I'm just thinking actually, pre-parenthood, what a waste of time. As a parent, what an hour.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Little beer, what an hour. Good weather as well. Beer, Beer, that's a the sun. caught up on some email admin. Email admin, isn't it? So, it was quite an East Londony party, Rob. Oh, can't talk to me. How many pairs of glasses? Oh, there was a lot of pairs of glasses. Oh, there was a lot of.
Starting point is 00:27:10 There was a lot of. Because in South East London, blokes are so geysery, they will happily not be able one did a sort of practical job. Well there was a bit where we had to erect a cardboard TP that we'd been given by nursery because they were clearly trying to get rid of it. Yeah right. They were like oh you're having a party you can have this and I was like that was very nice to them. Yeah turn up absolute disaster.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Oh a recycling nightmare I imagine me and another dad setting it up. And I just thought, there's no one here. I can see now. There's no one here who's practical. Literally, no one here who's practical. When we went to center parks, with our friends, right? Steve, he's a builder, but now he's like in charge of the builder.
Starting point is 00:28:00 He just went, he was a bit bored and the kids were playing out by the grassy trees, foresty bit and center parks, and he just built a tipi out of twigs like one that Bear Groo Greels would build. That's what people can do. But meanwhile, I'm struggling to build a, build a tipe while half of the DJ Simian Mobile Disco gives me advice. But while we're making the TEP I did think this is, you know, this isn't a party of people who've got hard fingers, shall we say? Well you'd be surprised, you know, unless he uses a pletrum if he's on the guitar.
Starting point is 00:28:42 They've surprisingly long nails rock stars, don't they? So, anyway, so I'm going to send your photo Rob. I ordered some, this is the most East London thing you'll ever see in your life, I think. Okay, what do you order? I ordered some bunting. From a, I would say the least East London place, Amazon, right? Some bunting from Amazon, that's very, yeah. East London is a bit East London, but also very Middle England countryside. I accidentally ordered some very ethical bunting, Rob. You ready to see this bunting, Rob?
Starting point is 00:29:16 Oh yes, definitely. As the least fun bunting I've ever seen in my life. But it's ethical. That's what I ordered by mistake. Oh, God, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but th. th. 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. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. I ordered by mistake. Oh God, no, it's quite sad actually, isn't it? It looks like nice bunting that's been out for a year and you finally cut it down. Yeah, I mean, it's literally hung up by what looks like parcel, you know, bail a twie,
Starting point is 00:29:38 do you know what it looks like? It looks like sort of like rope, a white the white, like, like, like white man with dreads if he would dread his pubs. Yeah, so it doesn't look very long though either. There's not much of it. He's had to go around the teapy. I had to buy three. No, it was to go around the tables. Do you want to see my table display? Yes, please. that I'd made. So I was very pleased with it. This is why I'm going into party planning. Also, Lou called me out on something I said on the podcast Josh. I was talking about the
Starting point is 00:30:09 party bags we had for our party and he went, oh the party bags we had, Rob. Why don't you tell me what was in those bags Rob? And so we did it. And all I could remember was the bag was canvas. There was a load of crap in it. And the the the the th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was th. th. th. th.

It's good, great stuff. And there was balloons, bubbles in it, and we gave them the inflatable animals. We did bubbles. I was in charge of inflatable animals on that guy. Oh, that's a lovely table. I like it. Very nice, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:30:33 That looks like an absolutely lovely party. It's great. You've got loads of drinks. Snacking throughout. That's great. Mistakenly bought vegan cakes by mistake. Do you know what, the only thing I'll do if I was used to look like an absolute legend, orders some pizzas to put on the table for the parents. I certainly did that. I certainly did that. You did. the adults while the kids had this and everyone had a little pizza playing the guy mate you've absolutely now that so it was brilliant I'd say I'd say it
Starting point is 00:31:08 was I say it was the best day of my life really no no come on it was it was as fun as I so we were that to late 30 p.m. Oh my gosh you animal drinking in the park with the kids playing with the with the remain there was two sets of parents the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the th th the th the th the the the the the the the the the the theateat the thirty the their theat to their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the the the the the the thea thea thea thea thea' thea' thea' thea' their their their their their their from with the kids playing with the with the remain there's two sets of parents those three sets of parents by the end yep and three kids till 830 p.m. is lovely a lovely time in the park summer's evening that's a bit frowned upon in like England but in Spain they'll do that sure drinking the park yeah they always sit outside in the evening the kids playing it's nice and the kids love it was brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 they they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's th is is th is th is the is the is the is the is they. they. they. they. the they. the the the they. the the the the the the the th evening with the kids play and it's nice and the kids love all that. Exactly. It's lovely Josh. At 9 p.m. I got home and I fell asleep straight away before my daughter because I'd been up since 430. Going to sleep before like a four-year-old is so degraded. Mate I genuinely woke up this morning I was like I don't remember bedtime for my daughter.
Starting point is 00:32:03 What would you do if you went downstairs and she was still sat there watching CPBs? I don't care I feel refreshed. Best sleep I've had in ages. You know it's bad when your kids, when they're up too late because CBB stops about seven, right? And then CITB, which is like the bad boy of cartoons, right? Then that even that stops at like nine or ten and they went, Daddy, why have the cartoon stopped? I was like, because the world's telling us you need to sleep. Yeah. You cannot stay awake anymore. Even CITV even CITV even if they have to sown off Mr Bean. You have to sleep now.
Starting point is 00:32:33 You have to seat in for the adults? Did the adults will stand to the. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. their. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to sleep. to to to their. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to to sleep. to to to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to sleep. to to sleep. to to to to to to the to to the too. too. too. too. too. too. too. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to sleep. the the think that's fair and then anyone else has got a problem with that they bring a chair or a picnic blanket. You cannot provide seating for 28 people. You can't provide seating for 28 people. Turns into a fringe venue. No, exactly, yeah. You'll start running little gigs out of it. It was less judge than the fringe. It was less judgy than the fringe. It was a very pleasant experience. Oh God that is a dark place for a performer. Good luck to anyone up there.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Keep going. Enjoy yourselves. You had a great excuse to have a year off and you've still gone up, idiots. Well, I'm really happy with you, Josh, because it's obvious now that like, that you know, I feel like the acid reflux for the Baba has calmed down. You're getting a bit more sleep and you join it a bit more and that's good for the listeners because as much as I loved hearing you struggle and we all did a beer I was a bit like oh god I hope it gets a bit easier for him because you want it to have fun so it feels like this is a hope this is a hope

A sleep at nine after being up at 430 a.m. That is your future, you know. Yeah, exactly. I should say that obviously my wife was being very, you know, in charge, so it wasn't that I was just hammered and there was a child. Yeah, no, yes. Let's just be very clear. Also, Josh, do you know, someone sent me this? Do you know what if someone Google searches you, what they search, what they search, what's, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, what is, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their? is their? their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the one of the rooms. Yeah, so it goes in this order, just Josh Whitakum on its own. Yeah, Josh Whitakum height. Yeah, fair enough. It's odd, but fair enough. Then Josh Whitakum wife, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Then disability. Yeah. I've told you the story, haven't I get disabled rooms all the time in hotels. They're accessible rooms. Accessible rooms. I get accessible rooms all the time in hotels. Do you know what? I actually quite like the space. But I still guilty in case something actually needs it. I once, I was doing a corporate event Rob, and I asked a woman where the toilet was and she took me to the disabled toilet and I was too embarrassed to tell her that I wasn't disabled so I just used it. What do they think's wrong with you? Probably no foot, probably because that's the bit that's not visual.
Starting point is 00:34:52 He's probably got no foot by 12 foot toilet. He's walked here absolutely fine. He's still on stage for now absolutely fine. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th thi, thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's tho' thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thiilet. He's walked here they're absolutely fine. He's still on stage for now, absolutely fine, but he's just gonna need a wider toilet just in case. Oh dear, though it just made me laugh. People keep sending that in. Yeah. And I got a really funny message when I was in Legoland as well, it is quite stressful.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Obviously with kids, it was quite hot. We were marching about and someone said, I think we need to, I think we need to add, you know, we have sort and non-saulty stories, so if you've seen, and I think they died off a bit because we was in lockdown. So it was all like anecdotal stuff from years gone by. So if you do experience any salt or unsorty behavior for me and Josh you can still send it th, you th, you can still, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the an the the an toldu, to to to to to to to to to to to the it in. I think we need another level which is predicted salt. I don't know what we call it, but where someone said, you wasn't, someone message gone, I saw it Legoland, you wasn't salty but you had a look in your eye that you would be salty to someone if they try to talk to you. So it's almost like a predicted salt where I was saying... Well, you're too scared to because you're too scared to to to to stress........ So, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, so scared, where I. So, so scared, so to, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, where, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I. So, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm to to to me. to to to to to to to to to to someone, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, I'm to someone. to you because you're looking too stressed. Yeah or like you would have been salted to someone that day where because it's so busy you're so stressed the kids are windy and you're trying to get in a movie you're moving moving the buggy you're and you're trying to buy you know like drinks about 40
Starting point is 00:36:13 quid for a cup of coffee and so yeah we may need another level of potential but I did have that you've seen us looking angry and fla that I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that I that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that you th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've thus thus th th you've th you've to to th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th you've th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th you th you th you th you've th you've th you've th you've 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to try to to to the the the th have the I was dead behind the eyes at one point in Legoland before I had a coffee I drunk so yeah because it was hot all they had with these like Costa cans of double espressos. Oh my I had five. What? I just wouldn't you're suffering from anxiety mate? That's not anxiety. That's ten espressos. I know but I had nothing left in the tank Josh. It's all I had. It is all I had. What timing are you doing those on? Well we woke up, they woke up at five on the first day because I was excited so that's what I had like one like one no maybe five is a bit strong. I had five coffees in the day I think yeah the three of them. I had one coffee when I woke up in the room instant at breakfast instant because it was four quid extra for a other coffee.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Rob you're earning mate you can afford a nice coffee. I know how much it is to stay in that fucking hotel. Anyway, um, so I had two instant coffees and then I had three of the cans so I had one of the cans probably about 10 a.m. when the park opens, so I was up at 5 coffee. Coffee at 8 a.m. at breakfast, coffee at 10 a.m. one at 1 o'clock, one at half free. Oh my God. And did you get any come down?
Starting point is 00:37:37 Because if I have one coffee, I feel depressed the next day, it was more tired of this, but like yeah, I'm drinking, I'm drinking a little bit too much coffee, but I'm calming that down there, because the week's calming down, it's just been a bit of a... Yeah, because Lou's taking the kids to a caravan park for four nights with her parents, because I've got to record the audio book. Yeah, I'm recording to be able to catch up. You're not doing it from home. I didn't want to commute from the caravan part they're going to, to be honest. Yes, yes. And then go back, because Lou staying in a caravan with, right. It's a free bed caravan, but they always say they can sleep 10, don't they? Because you can make the fronttwo girls, her sister and a sister's husband and their kid, and then for two of
Starting point is 00:38:25 the four nights, Lou's sister and boyfriend are coming down. Bloody how? I'm a free-bed caravan. And the—absolutely can't imagine. I'm thear. their head replacement, so I don't know where he's going to sit. Oh my word. they slightly mental.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Yeah that is going to be an odd few days but at least when you get home in the evening you're playing Xbox. Oh my God I'm just gonna just hammer war zone and I'm gonna eat shit all week and then get sad because I miss him after two days. Well that's nice. That'll be my process. I'm that's th. I th. I th.

I think if Lou left me, yeah, and just left, just, I'm leaving you and took the kids. It comes up a lot on this show. No. The phrase if Lou left me. You've got to think about, you've got to have options in it. You've got to think about all the vet. You do definitely. Yeah. Right? You're just like, you're there, quiet house, you're sleeping, you're ordering in food, there's loads of food in the fridge that your kids aren't eating, you're getting through all the stuff on catch up you've missed, but then then it really hits home after five days I'd say.
