And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs.

So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course,

Oh wow. And then we just chatted for an hour and a half because we were a bit late.
Starting point is 00:03:30 About American sports and about Britain. And I gave him some scampy fries and some pork scratchings and then we kissed. Anyway he was saying that Florida's ting about Florida and I like Florida and he was saying Florida is really sneaky Florida stole loads of I don't know if they stole it but if you could look at a map of America Florida is a little like knob the knob yeah I'm looking at now also it cuts right across and nix all the coast from Alabama oh yeah look at how much cut and it's just a straight line that is bad that's bad and he was saying all along that coast to all the told the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the to the to the the the th. the the the the th. th.

And he was saying all along that coast towards New Orleans is absolutely amazing and it's not not full of like British tourists going to Disney it sort of just if you went on a little road trip. But anyway that's my story.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Oh how was that? It was all right yeah I liked it was a month before the hurricane hit New Orleans I think. Oh really? But it was very nice yeah. Oh, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in. Yeah, I was in.

I bet it was very nice yeah do you know what I was in a hostel yeah because I was 22 and that's the kind thing you did. It's all right mate you don't have to be defensive about your success or lack of success. No no but I didn't like hostling Rob there's too many I didn't like hostling Rob there's the middle of the night a man came in and and slept in one of the spare beds and then when we woke up he was still asleep and he just had a tag on the end of his bed with O'Sullivan on it and it and then we just left because we were scared? Yeah just because now even now we could go to each other oh Sullivan and he's like our candy man like probably just some tired bloke who was wanted a kip. My main memory of New Orleans was
Starting point is 00:05:14 a there was an Irish guy who my friend saw wanking in the bottom bunk just having a wank in his bed in New Orleans of all places and then there was everyone was like a a lot of those people in those. And then there was, everyone was like, a lot of those people in those hostels think they're bloody Jack Carawack. They think they're like something. Jack Carrawank? Jack Carrowank. Jack Carrowank. Jack Carrowank. Jack Carrowick. That's more like it, Jack Carrowick, isn't it? Anyway nice, isn't it? I think people come for. Yeah, yeah, Jack Karabak does, in his little hostel bed. Oh yeah, really nice. Too much, maybe. Yeah. Cheers. Oh yeah, anyway, a guy came up to me. Yeah. And he was like, hey mate, I'm going on a night out and I haven't got any clean clothes. Because you're right for a tea t-shirt. I'm, what is he much bigger in you I'm just like this is actually I've got
Starting point is 00:06:12 shoulders I've got shoulders honestly you should see my fucking shoulders I still there's a photo of you topless I think asked a last legless, I think, arse the last leg with Alex Brooker and you're all wet and you're topless. And I can't find it anywhere, but I remember it really made me laugh. Why didn't really make you laugh? I don't think you were in, you weren't in peak physical shape. I think it was a out. You just you just had strong ET vibes in the photo. And you've never looked like ET before or
Starting point is 00:06:49 since. Why are you looking at a photo of me wet and naked after the last leg? Was it on set or was it like we had a shower afterwards? Well I don't know what you and Alex will shower together afterwards like a football team? Really and do so do you use the big accessible shower for that? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? Is? th? th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the the th. th. th. the th. the th. th. th. the th. the the the th. th. th. th. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. I. I. I, th. I, th. I, th. You. I. I. You. I. I. I. You. You. You. I. I. I. I. You. I. I. I. I. I. I. You. I. I. I. I. I. I. You. I. th. Yeah. the the th. the the th. the 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. a football team. Really and do you use the big accessible shower for that? Is that what that's also? I get given those accessible showers and we've discussed this a lot in hotels. Everyone thinks you're disabled. They do. There's nothing wrong with being disabled but you don't want to have the room that someone
Starting point is 00:07:16 else might need. No but you know occasionally when I'm parking I think I could get away with this. I don't. I'm joking. 100% would never do that. You could get a blue badge for something. I reckon there's something wrong with you that's blue badge worthy. What do you mean? Well, just you're allergic to chlorine. There's some sort of, you could get on for allergies. I don't know, I think if you went to to give you a blue badge. Yeah, but before you know it, that's a daily mail article there. I reckon you could just go in and sit down and go, right, blue badge is it?
Starting point is 00:07:49 And you just go, yeah if you want? Then it's not your fault. Yeah. Oh, did any that? Has your driving been, my, oh my, my, mate? Actually, you know what? That little five minute ch-.. 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 th. th. th. the th. th. 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, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th the thi. th. th. the thi. the th. thi. th. th. th. what, that little five minute chat we've had about we've had about the South Coast of America has probably been the most relaxing five minutes since our last boat year. It's been mental in our house. I am, I'd categorize as stressed just from too much stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Talk me through it. Okay so we got back from Greece on the Monday. I spoke to you at six o'clock until seven o'clock then I, it was the hottest night night thenite the the the the the th. the the the the th. the the the the th. the the hot the hot the the the hot the the th. th. the the th. th. It was th. It was th. th. time. time. time. It was th. It was time. time. time. time. the most. the most. the most. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. It's. It's. It's. It's.

I spoke to you at six o'clock until seven o'clock then I it was the hottest night ever remember? Yeah so my kids went to bed at 11 p.m. the bedtimes at the moment are all over the place 11 p.m. Basically our house gets so hot upstairs where it's actually like a furnace and it wasn't cool enough to sleep so they want to bed about 11 p.m.. Everyone slept basically naked on top of the covers the the the the the their their their their their their. their their. It. It's their their. It's their their. It's their their. It's their their their their th. It was th. It was their their hottest is their their hottest is their hottest. It was. It was was. It was was was. It was was. It was was was. It was was. It was was.

So they would have been about 11 p.m. Everyone slept basically naked on top of the covers with fans directed at Bumholes was essentially the way to call down. So if you walked into our house that night it would look like the opening scene of the X-Files. What's it? No, not the, but like, you know where there's always some sort of weird ex-files mystery. I was like, I was like, I, I, I was like, I was like, I the, I the, I the, I was like, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I the, I the, I, I the, the, the, I was like, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, if the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, was, was, was, the, the, was, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, was, the, the, was, was, was, was I was like I don't remember the title to the X-Files but it'll be like a scene from the X-Files where someone goes up all the stranger things when you walk in a room and it's just like a wind everywhere from the fans and just like bodies.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Yeah yeah so that was Monday night then Tuesday was up at six because Lou had to go off and get her appendix taken out when it was 41 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 to to thues. their to to tooes. tooes. tooes. th. the. the. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up was up. their was up. their was up. their was up. their was up. their was up. their was up. th. the. to.

I also panicked bought an air con unit for our bedroom because Lou, it was day surgery.
Starting point is 00:09:59 So she had to come home on the Tuesday. She would have had to go back into hospital if she's laid in that room. Because it sort of calls down at night, but in the day, the sun sets on the window of our bedroom. And it's just... Close the curtain. They're shut and all the windows are shut. It's still too hot. Just trust me it's too hot, okay? she can't lift and she can't do anything with the kids. We're recording this Thursday so I'm doing all the heavy lifting quite literally.

Starting point is 00:13:29 So there's a lot of people at my kid's school that has, that they put them into camp, so they'll have like a hot, they'll save up their holiday for a summer holiday and go away for a week and then that's that covered because they're on holiday with you and you're off and then there's a combination of child care from like family and then some people send them so they might get their Nan and Granddad to come up to have them for a few days here and there or one parentakes the other one doesn't. Yeah. So they take a week of or theytime, so what, the way I do it is, I try to have school holidays off, and then I work sometimes six or seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Not all the time, but I work non-stop when they're in school. And Lou does the pickups and drops-off, so that when they're off, I'm off, but Ithat's, I can do that because I'm self-employed. And luckily, comedy-wise, especially in the summer, does stop. You don't, you know one's doing tour shows. No was laughing in August. Well, everyone's on holiday. So you don't sell tickets in August. You don't really sell them over Christmas because of the pantos. It's quite weird, isn't it? Because when I was a kid, I didn't even think about it,
Starting point is 00:14:45 that it must be an administrative nightmare that suddenly you're at home. Well, it's weird, because I think Lou was more aware of that, because her dad did nine to fives and stuff, where my dad always worked afternoons and evenings, and my mom worked like part-time, but then mainly was at home with us. So they could they they they they could they could they could they could they could they could they could they could they could us so they could you could shift and be a bit more flexible and stuff but yeah anyway it is brutal but
Starting point is 00:15:08 if anyone's got any tips of what to do in the summer or ideas of how to sort out child care let us know but I think it's basically whatever you can't find friends family camps things like that but yeah so that's but that's what we weren't planning on putting them in the camps because Lou would normally be at home, but she can't really look after the kids. Of course. So, but the other two issues I've had this week is now the dogs started coughing. So I've got to book a vet appointment. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:15:34 So I've got a vet appointment at 4.45 today at 7. Yeah. So I might be late in a pair of shorts. No, I won't bring the dog. I can't have him coughing everywhere. So the dog's got a cough? Yeah, I know. But also I've got I've got a cough. I just get on with it mate, but I think with dogs you have, have you got, have you got pet insurance? Yes I have. I've got pet insurance. Oh, not yourself out mate. Fill your boots. That Lou's still not ever claimed on. Let's not get bogged down by that. So we had to take the dog to the vet pretty recently to get to a mannipotics never been claimed back on. That's something that Lou's decided on. I'm not going to let to get to get to get to get 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 to get to get to get to get to get to get to get the the the the the to the to to the the 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 the the the the the the the their.

I've that's the the the the that's on. That's that's something that Lou's decided on. I'm not going to let that, I'm not going to bring that up now because she's noted for a lot of, not all she's ill in bad.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Surgery gas and she's got little bruised belly, poor thing. She looks really uncomfortable. I'm so, so, it's so difficult when you're run ragged and like a blue thrown. their partner's unwell well, and it, and it, and it, and it, and it's, and it's, and it's, thin, thu, thu, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thu, thin, thin, thin, thu, tho, tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, she's, she's, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, is, is.

When they're hungover I quite like that because you can go you deal with them you calls this but when someone's had their appendix taken out it's just like and she's like Rob do you mind getting me a drink and she's not demanded at all but she can't get up loads she's got to start moving but to the try to the get the kids at the butt all those sort of things so it's me constantly doing it but you just want to just go I don't want to do this I don't want to do all of this but I have to because I love you and it's fair and when I had a bad ankle you you help me apart from after a week who
Starting point is 00:17:19 said to me you need to get better and you did to be fair but I'm not going to say to that 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 to to to the to the to the the the the the to the the the to to the the to the the the the the the the the 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to th.

But I'm not going to say that to Lou because she's getting better. Yeah of course. She'll be fine. But it's just a bit stressed. When I had my appendix out I was not doing much for a good week. It was a good old week. A whole week. I remember, I just remember, I just remember, because it's very tender. It's very tender. Yeah, of course you've had like an like an like an an an an an an an an an an an an an an an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ like an organ that an organ that like like the, maybe like, it's the beginners operation isn't it? Like, it's like weed before crack. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's not, it feels like this isn't a proper one. This is like a, this is like a kind of warm-up. Yeah. But actually that means you don't take it seriously enough. Yes. And then you get home you're like, fuck it now now someone's been chopp my to chop my to to to to to to to to to to to to to the body to to the body to to the body to to the body to the body the body to the body the body the body the body the body the body the body the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tap tap too. too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too too the the the the the the the take it seriously enough.

And I went to the woman, I was like, I can't sleep because I've had too much morphine. And she said, no, I think it's that's is is is is is is is the the tea mate. Oh, I think that does happen. You get to an age, but if you have like two spoons and fools of sugar, you're up for a week. I'm not at that age. You're not far off, I was about 36.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Are you hungover as well? Your voice sounds cool. Yeah, I'm a bit hung over. Yeah, I was a little. They know it's their rap party. And I thought, you know, it's been a long old series, so we need to cut loose. How many episodes were on? One. Last night. So you got there about six, did the show, and then you had a rap party celebrating the end
Starting point is 00:19:31 of the eight-part series. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. I was meant to do one of which. What did he say? Just how much he values all the team. And just how thankfully he is that James Corden career is rocketing. Yeah, he's now got my feet under the table. Just want to thank James Corden for making a late show of success. Yeah. And all the guys over there stay side. Did you read some of your books to anyone? You like doing that, don't you, when you're drunk at tel shows? No, no, no, no. I didn't. No, I tried to Joe Brand about comedians in the 90s.

And who else was on that episode? Declan Rice was quite exciting. Oh yeah, it's a nice bloke, didn't he, Declay Rice? Oh lovely, lovely bloke, yeah. I met him at Redding. At Reading?

Starting point is 00:20:50 How much do you have to drink to get drunk at this stage of busyness because you're quite tired? Oh, I just, yeah, I'd had a terrary terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible to sleep a terrible to sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep as to sleep as to sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep as to sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep a to sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep sleep got to sleep about two, and then at four I got woken up because we'd left the windows open. The doors were banging in the house. You know, when the... Yeah. And I couldn't... And I couldn't...
Starting point is 00:21:14 And I could... I must have all the doors in the house but there's still a door banging. It was like, I couldn't get to the bottom of the banging door. Did you ever get to the bottom of the banging door? Well Rose thinks it was the landing toilet, but she came to that conclusion. Is that what you call the toilet you have you have you have you have you have you have you have you have you have the the the the the the the to have tolde tolde tolde tolde tolde told Is that what you call the toilet you have a shit in? Yeah. It's the landing toilet. Oh, this is what I've talked about toilet, something awful happened to me Josh. I've gone. I trod barefoot in dog shit. Oh my gosh, I just walk into
Starting point is 00:21:57 the sea and I'd never come back at that point. I'm tempted to cut my foot off and replace you on the last leg. What happened? Well, I thought I'd cleared it all up and then the kids were playing and then I was walking along on the grass barefoot and I just, as soon as it, as soon as I tucked, I'll put my foot down I knew. And I just didn't want to look. So I just stood there and then in the end, I slowly lifted my left foot up. And it was just, the the their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. Well, th.

And, too. And, tooed. And, too. And, too. And, tooed. And, tooed, tooed, tooed, tooed, toothere and then in the end I slowly lifted my left foot up and it was just dog shit all over my foot and I just shut my eyes and I still had my foot up I didn't want to put it down again in case I squashed it in more and I just I just wasn't willing to accept this was my
Starting point is 00:22:38 life And the kids were screaming for something and I just stood there and I reckon I stood there to 10 to 15 seconds just processing. Because I was in denial at first, I was like a bit of mud. Oh God. But I knew it wasn't mud. But I knew it wasn't mud. Is it in a way better that it's the foot than the shoe because you can't clean it off the foot.
Starting point is 00:23:02 It was good it wasn't no anywhere near the the the the the the the was better there was the foot and also it was good it wasn't nowhere near the toes. It was pure arch. Oh pure arch. But it was, I pressed, I haven't got high arches anyway so it was definitely made an impression. I've got very high arches. But you'd been, you'd been fine mate do you know what, Rob, this, the worst thing you can do in this situation is rush. Yeah. So did you have to hop to the tap, the bath?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Well, no, exactly. That's what I was going to do. But I was like, no, and then I think it's quite a good life less than this. You just let it dry and try and clean yourself. No I just because my initial thought was get in the bath getting the bath getting the bath and I was all Then I went to move I was I know just my new thing now is Josh Stop going with the first thing my brain says yeah Yeah, and just sit with it and then decide what in all walks of life when it's the girls are the girls asked for something or lose I used to be so just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just I I to to to to to to to to to just I I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 thi th th thi th thi th thi thi thi th thi thi th thi the th the the the th to to be, just do that, just do that, and I answer so quickly to get things done, but I've recently been going, no, take a second, right? Just what are we going to do here?
Starting point is 00:24:08 And then I remembered that like, that I've got an outside tap that's over soil. Oh, yeah. Like, just like, there, I can just put my foot, I won't even need to, I can just keep my foot up like this, I'm not going to tread it on the grass or tread it on the patio, and I just then just turn the hose on, the problem was I turned it on too hard. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:35 You fired it all over. onto my shorts. Oh my God. Okay so now, oh my God. Things have escalated. Yeah. I was so excited about my decision. So you're actually thinking things through it has backfired massively. Yes, because I should have thought it through. No, the initial thought was great, but when I got to the tap I should have thought again. Yeah. How am I going to do this? this? This is me growing up just right. And I'm, th. th. th. the, th. th. the, th. th. th. th. the, 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, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thee. thi. th. thee. thi. the. thi. But then, so what I did was, I turned down the power, got it all off my, because it was only at my leg, got it, and a bit of my shorts, got it off my shorkels, and then I got off my shorff and then I got off my foot. And then I took my shorts and put them immediately in the bin. Yeah, that's the right thing and then I went up into the shower and rubbed it with soap so hard it is now a bit red. What so when you say it it? Do you mean your your foot?
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah I was I didn't I didn't get clean and go for a wank in the shower with soap. Save that for hostels in New Orleans. I was Sullivan myself off. Yeah so, so that happened was awful. Man, I lullife. The other thing I had to do yesterday. What about children doing during this period? Obliviously, just running around, laughing and shouting. And you had to presumably go down and clean up the dog shit as well. Yeah, I had to go back and try and pick up dog shit that I'd great and then the other thing I had to do yesterday Josh was a speed awareness course. Oh naughty boy so I had three hours on that on zoom. I never done one of them because I don't break the rules. Right I did 26
Starting point is 00:26:12 miles an hour in a 20 and I didn't know it was a 20. Oh cut me some slack Josh in an electric car trying to save the planet and they're speedy off the lights. It's odd. I don't even remember 20s existing when I was a kid. Well, exactly. So this is Josh, this is what happened, right? I thought, you know what, fair enough? You've done the crime, do the time, right? Whatever, I'll go from the ti. the zoom one Do you think it was on teams because they were too worried about those jokes? Yeah, potentially.
Starting point is 00:26:49 At one point someone said, I was talking about going on a motorbike and you know, how do you filter, and said, does anyone ride a motorbike? You know, you have to keep an eye up from and then, and then he went, what are motorists doing as you are their their? He went, I don't know, I'm normally gone by then. And they went, oh, I'm really sorry, I forgot what I was doing. But this is what annoyed me about the calls right, Josh, yeah? So talk me through it. How did it work?
Starting point is 00:27:14 Well, basically, how can you taught you through the highway code and show you pictures of roads and say what speed do you think is and I thought Joe I'm going in with this an open mind because I've done I when I pass my test 20s didn't really exist 20 mile an hour speed limits because I know when it's the traffic lights the traffic lights are close together and when it's on a country road road road road road road road road road the the the the the the the the the the the traffic the the the the traffic the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th is th is th is th is thigh. thigh. thigh. thi. there's there's there's there's thi. thi. their. their is their is their is their is. their is. they's is is. they's is is. their is is is. their is is is is. their is is. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. I I I's the. I's the. the. the. the. the an the an the an the an thean. thean. thean. thean. the an the. a country road with the white and black sign going through it, diagonally, that's... That's the traffic light, like lots of street lights, near each other, it's 30. Oh, I didn't know that. Normally, and then if you're on a country lane and there's got this, that white circle with the black diagonal line across, that's national speed limit, 60. 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, their. Yeah, their their. Yeah, their their their their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, the traffic, the traffic, the traffic, the traffic, they. Yeah, their.. Yeah, their.. Yeah, their. Yeah, their. Yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. Yeah, theirlape, theirlape, their tha. th it's a motorway. The motorway speed limit 70?
Starting point is 00:28:05 No, no, 60. But motorway speed limit is 70. Oh gosh. So all these things that you didn't really know and I thought that's really that. And I thought that really know, and I thought that's really that's great nostalgic, but it's good to be refreshed, but also I this, because it must take you back to when you were... because you presumably did the theory tests and stuff. Well, you know what I learned most was how little old people know how to work teams and zoom?
Starting point is 00:28:31 I must have watched a lady trying to... an older lady. What oldies are speeding? All that basically, it worked out everyone on the call was doing about 25 in a 20. Oh, okay. Okay, you're right. So I... Did anyone go, you rob Beckett? No.
Starting point is 00:28:52 A couple of people logged on though, like, with a miserable sort of naughty, tho'n'a'n'a' tho'n'a'e'e. to put in a couple, I did a couple of jokes, couldn't help myself John. Yeah, did you do some stand-up? Yeah, a little bit, there was one bit that I've got a photo of a motorway and I go, what, they said, what's the hazard here? I went, is it the person that stood in the middle of the motorway to say this photo? Oh, lovely bit of this. There was one of a roundabout and an old, and it it it it was like, and it was like, and it was like, and it was like, and it was like, and it was like, and it was like, the the their, their, their, their, there, their, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there was like, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, they there, 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 one, they're one, they're one one, they're one one, they're one, they're one, they're they're they're they're they're 90, right? 95, trying to get a cross and she went, so what are you worried about here? I went that old lady crossing the road. Got a little laugh didn't it? Oh nice. Solid stuff. But then I thought Rob, this is actually slowing up the process. How many of you were in there? about 10? that. thrown the old lady. So, the thirty, so it's a th. th. th. thi. thi old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old old. the old. the old old old old old old old. the old old old. the old old old old. the old. the old. the old. the old. the old. the old. the old. the old. the old old old old. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the old. the old. the old.

I'm the old. th. th. th. th. tho. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the old. the old. the old. and I don't want to be caught and I don't want to over speedy limit so it's great anyway so we're going through this is a 30s is 40 is 50 and she I went oh so how do we know it's a 20 20 she went oh okay so there there there there there be signs every 15 seconds it called repeaters and they were up I was like 40 miles I'm the the the th so so so so so so so so they. they. th I th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th no th no th so, so there wasn't repeaters on the road I was on. She went, oh, where was you driving? She was like, I was like, London, and she was like, oh, well, yeah, in London, there's
Starting point is 00:30:08 like about 20 different ways you can tell if something's a 20 mile an hour or not, but there's no hard and fast law or rule. I was like, oh, okay, so you're trying to try to to say, the only way really is that if you look to your left and right down side roads and if it says 20, then go 20. I was like, sorry, so your advice to find out the speed limit is to take my eyes off the road and look to my left and right to see if it's 20. Right? Okay, so basically, I couldn't, there's no way to learn when it's 20. Basically, go 20, they, they, they, they, they, they, 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. th. th. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th. 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. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to get. And she was like, but if you know, each, you know, each bar. You know, for that point. No, but then she went.
Starting point is 00:30:48 You should have gone up, I shouldn't be here and just look straight off. And then she was like, well, okay, you know, when she went, you know, but also find out what you're driving in and in most, and most, and to to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, to, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you, you, you're, you're, you're, 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, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you..... And, you, you. And, you. And, you. And, you. And, you. to, you. 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, you in like one trip and she sort of was just like well yeah just looks he left and right at one point we had to draw a picture they said when you're driving and stressed yeah what draw a picture of how you feel what okay so I was like to just a straight line to feel what okay so the mouth just a line to ha. For the mouth just a line the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 the they their their their 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 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. they. they. they. the the they. the the the the the the they. the the the the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the line so wasn't smiling or unhappy for the mouth just a line across yeah do they tell you need you need drawing implements before the pen and paper yeah but you know I don't want to show off but I've got that to hand yeah and I showed it and she was like oh what I can't know either. What did she say?
Starting point is 00:31:47 Okay, right? I don't think she... I mean, I wasn't really delivering it very well, but also I can't, I can't, I can't, I mean, I can't, I wasn't really, I wasn't really. I wasn't looking at drawings. I couldn't, I was watching the videos, listening to the contents Josh of this very informative. It was good though because there were stuff you don't realize how fast you're going and stopping speeds and all that but one basically I went in it thinking what will I learn to stop me drive safer like you know because I want to drive safer. The only thing I learned was here we go this is what I learned the only thing I learned because they couldn't tell me about 20s because there's no real rule. The thing I didn't know, you know, aside schools, the triangle with the parent and the kid walking, and underneath it says when when this flashes, it's 20 miles an hour, right? That's not a law. That's not a law. That's just advice.
Starting point is 00:32:36 What the schools have just gone off? No, no, no, no. The council's done it, but it's only law if it's in a red circle. So if it says 20 in a red circle, if you go over 20, it's speeding. Yeah. Because it's just in a black sort of rectangle and it says 20 when it's flashing, that means it's advice. So what I've learned is I can go faster past schools. That is good. So, but I went on a speed awareness course, and the only thing I was made aware of, I can go faster past schools by law. Talking about that of schools, my dad was in traffic, right?
Starting point is 00:33:17 My dad's 78, was in traffic by a school when there was kids playing and the kid was looking at my dad like through the, like the, the fence and my dad sort of waved like to say hello and then the kid wouldn't got a teacher and pointed at my dad oh my god absolutely non-spotted oh my god it's good good though good well done kid because it could have been a yeah a wrong one but you might not have anyway so that's sort of been my week so we're getting there though we the the the the the the the the the the the th th 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 the the tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to the to to to to to the to to the the the the the the of been my week. So we're getting there though. We're slowly getting there. How are the kids? Did your daughter go to school school in September?
Starting point is 00:33:49 Yeah, she starts in September. But I was a bit, she was a bit upset when she came out of the super camp thing because she wasn't with a sister all day. And I was a bit like, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, 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, the, the, the, the, 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 and then I was working so when I dropped to off this morning again she couldn't go in with her sister I was a bit like and I said oh can I can she just go in a sister's group and there was like oh no it's offstead inspected so they can't be in the wrong academic year and I was a bit stressed this morning when I'm not looking for an exam grade it's just I'm more interested in the past 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 I I I I I I'm th I'm th I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm just that's just I'm just I'm just I'm that's just I'm that's just I'm that's just I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that I'm that's just I'm that's just I'm that's that's that's that's that's I that's I that's that's that's I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm th I'm th 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi th th th thi th th th thi th th care, which sounded like such a wankery thing to say. But I'm like...
Starting point is 00:34:25 Not to get that phrase though, when you reach it. Yeah, I'm more aware, well I'm not really, I'm just like, look, this kid is in here for three days, let her hang around with a fucking sister. She's not 17 and you're gonna go BMX in. She's like two years come. She's probably faster than all the kids. Yeah, she is! Oh, what are you doing today? Athletics, send her in. Send her in. Anyway, so, but I do think as well that she was, finding it difficult in that new,
Starting point is 00:34:55 it's a new hierarchy. There's loads of other kids there, she doesn't know. And at her old nursery, she she's left now to go to primary school, she was ruling the roost of it because she was the oldest. Yeah, yeah. So she's gone from ruling the roost being the oldest to be in a group of kids who are age and older, and then her sister's in another class of all her mates.
Starting point is 00:35:14 So I was a bit stressed dropping her in. So I'm quite anxious to go somewhere and comes out upset and but this morning she was like yeah I want to go on and go so I'm trying not read into it too much but because I'm a bit anxious and stress at the moment my anxiety will latch on to that even though it's not really coming from the kid anymore. Yeah my brain to go oh bet your daughter doesn't feel all their though theyme and you know I'll fuck the their their their their th you're th you're th you're th you're th you're th you're th you're th you're th you're th fuck I don't th you're their th you're to to th you're 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 their their their their their their their try. I their try. I their try. I their toooo. I too. I too. I'm to to to for that thought because I'm powerless at the moment, they've got our numbers, if she's upset, they'd call, so I just have to just ignore that until I pick her up and then find out how it went, you know what I mean? But it's hard to balance that when you're red spinning about five different other things and a dog keeps and you're stepping in dog shit. But apart from holiday, but apart, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th th th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th, th th th th th th th tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, to just have to just have to just have to just have to just have to just have to just tho, so I tho, so I tho, so I I I I th.

I feel very different to how I did on the beach in Greece. Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? Getting back from holiday.
Starting point is 00:36:07 If you could bottle rest and then drink it a week later, but you can't do that, can you? Anyway, so sorry, I feel like I've been moaning. No, no, no at all. I apologize for moaning, we need to apologize for the last three years. I apologize for the last three years for the moaning. What have you been up to? Sorry, I've just spoke at you for two episodes now. Not much. Any news?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Well, we've got a paddling pool. Oh, we've got a padling pool. Your garden's too small. Yeah, the paddling pool out overnight, yeah, so we've got a big, it's like a big paddling pool. Yeah, basically my daughter went to her friend's house They had the paddling pool. We need a new paddling pool and she wanted that one so we've got this big paddling pool You're right. It's like it's like two chambers with a bridge in the middle and a rainbow and a rainbow and a rainbow and a rainbow and a rainbow over the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. the they. the the the the the the top of it. Have you got a picture of it? I wonder if I could actually take the picture from up here. From your window? Because I can't get my head around. Let me find that this is the problem. Last year we left our paddling pool out overnight and it got savaged by the foxes night. So we're having to
Starting point is 00:37:18 bring our paddling pool in every night and put it in the fucking kitchen. Do you know can I I've got a really thage thau thau th. I've th. I've th. I've got a really th. I've got a really th. I've got a really th. I've got a really the th. I've got a really the th. I've got a really the to the to the to to the to the to to to the the to to to the the to to to. I've the the the to. I've the 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. I. I've. I've. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got a the the to be to be to be to be to be to be to. I've got a to. I've got a to. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. I've got. Do you know, can I, I've got a really good recommendation. Is it like a fox spray? Right, no, so I bought, we bought a big paddling pool, right? Yeah, that's like got a slide on it and we thought, you know, if I get that, it's quite expensive. It was like 300 quid, right? But I thought, the summer's going to be long and not, if they they they, they, they, like, like, th, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th. thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tha, tha, tha, tha, thimes and they've done that in the first two weeks. I could spend, you can spend under 50 quid taking the kids out for the day to go into a theme park or something. So if I've got that for the summer, then we can invite people over, have barbecues and
Starting point is 00:37:51 they've got this fun thing and if you get new kids to come, they'll love. So I've got recommend that, I'll find it for you. It's basically like a flat bit of like paddling pool and then round the edge you plug the hose in and it fills up around the edge full of water and it's got holes in and then it spurts out like a spray and the middle bit fills up slowly and it's very shallow in it, jumping in it, and they absolutely love it.
Starting point is 00:38:25 This might be better for you. Well, but would a fox not savage it? It can't really, because there's nothing that's really inflated to savage. And if they bit the edge, it just make the hole slightly bigger for the sprinkler to come out? Right. So there's not much they can really do. This is it, oh, was it 40 good? I got it for 20, it's 40 here. There we go, but it's really good. Got it in Costco and it's called H2O go
Starting point is 00:38:51 with an exclamation mark. It is very big though. It says 11 foot. It can't be 11 foot. I mean, my garden's 11 foot. Well, well, you've squeeze it here mate you're living in zone 1 you know it's a mad mad decision. Yeah I it is because also our kitchen every night now has a fucking huge inflated paddling pool stood up on its side in the middle of the kitchen. Try try this Josh just sent it to you. I've googled it H to go. Oh yeah you found it yeah. Yeah but you know the problem with it Rob? What's that is she's already already th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi's thi's th. th. to to to thi. thi. 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 th. the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. the thi. the. the. the. the the. the the the. the the the. the the. the. the. the. th what's that is she's already got a paddling pool and you're never going to
Starting point is 00:39:28 convince her to give up the paddling pool. It's over. It's if you Google it's the one is that one on Costco this 11 foot sprinkler pad. H2 go sprinkler pad they absolutely love it. Yeah that can't be savage by a fox really. I wish you told me this. You're going to need a little adapter though because that'll get you. You need to get the right adapter for it. But and so are you going to get one of them or is it? Or are you going to keep the... I'm not going to be able to talk about the bloody paddling pool, mate. She loves it. It's all. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It's all th. It's all she th. It's all she th. th. It's all she gets all. th. th. th. that that that that that that that that. It's that. th. th. the th. the th. the the th. th. th. 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. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. that. that. that. that that that that that that'll that theea. thea. thea. You the. You need. the water. Yeah. Yeah, but you keep the air in. Yeah, keep the air in. And then I stand it up in the kitchen and then you can't get past it. And then you wake up in
Starting point is 00:40:11 the morning, you go down and basically a kitchen's got a huge inflatable in the middle of it. And you have to kind of try and push it out of the kitchen on your own. It's a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare. to. to. to to be. to be night, Rob. Rob. th. Rob. the night, Rob. th. th. th. th. th. th night, Rob. It's an absolute nightmare. Oh my God Josh, have you seen that email about the people we're going for dinner with tonight? Uh, yeah, I'm just looking at it now. One, two, three, four. There's a lot of them. There's 25 people. Well, that's good, Roger. Do you think they would let us sit together? Oh, we're going to be one end each, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the. thi. thea, thea. thean, thean, thean, thi. thea. thea, the. they would let us sit together?

No, no, no, no, but like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,, Waterstones, Double H Smith again, they've got three tickets! Tickets! Tickets! Oh, anyway, right. There we go. So what? Is this for us to sort of like, schmooze them and impress them? Are we allowed to talk about this? Is this like Boris Johnson meeting Leberdev? I... I never really know what you we allowed to talk about this? Is this like Boris Johnson meeting Lebedev? I never really know what you're allowed to talk about anymore. I'm sure

We started to potty train the eldest in late April. She picked it up well and being very independent. She was soon using the potty and emptying it out after us without our help. Great.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Until one day I walked into the bathroom to find her washing the potty out out out out out using mine and my husband's toothbrushes Oh my god oh my god oh my god all I can say is I hope this was the first time oh my god oh my god Claire poor that is absolutely horrible isn't it harrowing you know there's no way but then if she's washed it with enough water maybe you wouldn't you might you might just think oh that that too face is a bit hard I I wouldn't I wouldn't I I 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 th is th is to be to be to be to be to be thus th is just just just just 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 to be to be to be to be to be th is horrible is horrible 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 to to to to to to to th to th th tho tho to to tho. to to to tho. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tho. tho no way. But then if she's washed it with enough water, maybe you wouldn't, you might just think, God, that tooth face is a bit off. I wouldn't recognize the taste. Do you know what I mean? I wouldn't go out.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Is that the taste of shit? I think I would. I think I would know I was eating it. You ordered it tonight. I saw it as your eyes for me. I've fancied it last week, you know what I mean? Oh, God. Do you want a, do you want a boomer?
Starting point is 00:47:21 Oh, I'll give you a boomer. My mother-in-law freezes bread. That's up the end of it. That's up the end of it. Good woman. Good woman. Do you freeze bread? Yeah, I do actually.
Starting point is 00:47:32 I always forget to do it. If there's space in the freezer, it, I don't know why I said butter it. Butter it, butter it, baby. Better wants a whidge. She would get two slice of frozen bread out, butter it, put cheese in it. She would then put it in his lunchbox and hope that it was defrosted in time for lunch. That is. No, you've got then will it go stale if you just left it out overnight what were you like did you have

Starting point is 00:51:17 that memory Josh yeah I didn't thought about that in fucking years. Oh we've got a good one here This is from, well I think we want to talk about sweepstakes for when a baby was born. Yeah. This is not exactly a sweepstakes from Jerry, but before our two-year-old was born the Irish government announced two extra weeks paid leave for partners for any children born after the first of November. Yeah. Du-date was early November all through October. My wife had to be telling her she wasn't to go early and to hold out. Did she make it? Didn't tell us, thanks Jerry. Oh, not the clock. Cheers for Rob. I'd say your anecdotal skills need work gel. Yeah. We need a we need closure on that story Jerry.

If you've got any stories about winning things we're up for them as well. Winning things as a kid. Winning things as a kid. It means so much more than. Did you go on any of those TV shows and win? I was on a TV show years ago my school years ago. I was on a TV show years all my schoolmates at like eight or nine or something. Yeah, they come in and prankers and we're like, what was our teacher gone? And then they were like, what was our teacher gone? And then they said, what was our teacher? And then I think it was like, it was a substitute teacher and, it was my best videotape ever. I had the Arsenal Everton game where Arsenal won the league and Tony Adams scored that volley and then put his arms out. Yeah.
