Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Widdickham. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky. So, to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course,
Starting point is 00:00:36 tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing.

Starting point is 00:01:18 Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hill. Teddy, can you say say Rob Beckett? Roe Betty. And can you say Josh Widdickham? Josh Wallachan. Very good. Yeah. I think it was very good. Yeah. Solid. Hi Rob and Josh. This is our son Teddy saying your names. Although Josh's surname sounds more like Josh Willicum. I didn't notice that but fair enough if you want to criticize him. Teddy's four very nearly five. Both me and my husband absolutely love the pod. Loyal listeners thanks for being relatable and super sexy. Tiff and Dan from South Wales but originally. Tamworth. Ken. Oh miles away I was gonna say Thurrock actually that would have been good. Do we have an unbalanced amount of people in the southeast of London or are they just really good at writing in? I think... Are you so loved in the area of
Starting point is 00:02:10 Kent Rob? I'd say I've got a good following in Essex and Kent. Yeah. And York, and theirlake, weirdly. Glasgow and Liverpool, I think I need to do work there. I still think I'm too much of a cockney wonk. Rob. Selling tickets. their. to. to sell. to. to. to. to. to. their. to. their. to. their. their. to. their. their. their. to. to. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. their. their. to. I'm. I'm. I'm.

I'm gonna ask Kevin Bridges if I can do his tour support for a bit which really at this stage of my career would be a step down. It would be nothing wrong with doing support because it's a great gig and I did loads of support but it gets to the point where you can't really support someone when you're doing your own tours but I think maybe if Kevin Bridges let me ever go I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 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 to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their t. their their t. their their their the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. tour. to. to. to. a go. I think Lou might be annoyed Rob. I think if you said to Lou I'm having a year off doing my own tour but I'm going out on tour to support Kevin Bridges. I think she'd be well within our rights. It's 100 quid a gig and the train's only 90 quid. So with 10 quid up what you think? I remember doing a gig at Skipton Mark Theatre. Yep. Yeah which is is an astonishing gig because it's during the week it is a cattle market and
Starting point is 00:03:07 at the weekend they put in seats and it becomes a comedy tour venue. Yes. I'd say the smell is more from the week than from the weekend. Yeah, I mean, there's only so much spilled magnets can cover up the smell of cow shit as you perform to these people that can't even the the th even th even th even th even th even th even th even th even th even th even th even th even the th even th even the smell of cow shit as you perform to these people that can't even believe they're there. And it's not like this is like a regular occurrence, it's almost they get shuffled in going, I didn't know this was here.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Yeah, of course. Everyone in there is going, why are we here? How has this happened? Yeah. Talking of the Skipton cattle market, and it does it's, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th-up and it says people that have been on before. So it's got my picture there. Yeah. Sarah Millikan and guess who else? Romash. Dave Spiky. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Yeah. I didn't mind the gig. I enjoyed the gig. My main memory is staying in a hotel where they didn't have a breakfast so they just left a bag. A bag of breakfast stuff at your. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their picture. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:10 read this? A breakfast bag. Are they doing an event called Crafts in the Pen? So you can do Christmas crafts with the kids. Oh my word. Anyway it is a good gig. It doesn't put, it doesn't smell that much of cow poo. It's a cool thing. I would go, you don't, you know, it's not dirty, they clean it all. They're going to clean it all. It comes out with a jet wash before and but it's a good gig. Yeah, I enjoyed it. But I didn't expect to be in a cow cattle market. No. But enough of this Rob.

I'm to work. I'm to Rob. Well, you sent me a photo of someone with the paramedics. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to name names
Starting point is 00:05:09 because I don't know how you... This... Past this anecdote off to your wife without it sounding terrible, so I don't know if he's told her. Right, so he's married and it's a man. Okay, we're getting... But one he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th. I th. I th. I th.

I'm not thr-n'' to thr-a' thr-n'a' name thr-n' name thr-n' name thr-nthe people was so hung over that he called an ambulance. Do you know what? I respect that. I've thought about it. I'm dying. I'm dying. And he went back to the hotel. He was in his hotel room. So where was you, what time of day with this? Where was you out, drinking again or lunch? No, we'd gone out to to walk up the belfry in the center of Bruges for our wholesome morning activity. Oh that is a terrible stuff that is awful to do hungover. Well luckily they didn't have any slots so we just went to the pub right I
Starting point is 00:05:57 I bet the relief and the sag thank God because if I'd been up a belfry what the fucks a belfry? It's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 is the their is their is. I is their is their is their is their is. I was. I was. I was. I was is. I was is. I was is. I was is. I was is is.

I was. I was. I was. I was. th. th. th. th. thus. tha. thea. tha. tha. tha. the same. I's. I's belfry, because my phone then rang. What the fuck's a belfry? It's like a church spy, I thought. That overlooks the whole of the city. Right, okay. It's number one on triple five. Do you know what? I'm so bored of being up high on holiday.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Well yeah, that's because you're in Dubai. No, you're in Dubai. You've got, you're think we spoke about this before it's pointless. You know what Bruges look like, you flew over it from really high. So why are you getting lower? No, no, we didn't, no, we got the Eurostar. Right, okay, but I take it all back. Yeah. Anyway, so then we go and we're like, having a drink in the town square at about quarter past 12, and my phone rings and it's one the the the the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi, thi's thi, thi, thi, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, th........ th, th.. th. We, th. We, th. We's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. We's, thi. No, thi. We're, no, no, no, no, no, no, thi. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, names who has still not surfaced from the hotel.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Well he's left and then he's gone back. And then it's not his voice. And they say, it's that Josh. I'm like, sorry, what's going on? And it's someone from the hotel to say that they've called an ambulance. Oh no. And you're in charge of the ship. At one point, everyone was like, should we all go back? I'm like, I don't think that's the right thing to do. I don't think 16 people showing up in the hotel foyer
Starting point is 00:07:09 is going to be a helpful situation. But they might have to call more ambulances. Imagine if I'd been up the belfry because they're so old they're slippy steps as well it's hard work I I did think there would have been a moral conundrum what if I'd got that call when I was 20 steps from the top would I've gone straight back to the hotel now no you would have gone to tell I had a quick look quick photo yeah to the hotel so you went back in a hotel. We're 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 thus tho tho tho tho that that tho tho their their the their their the the the the tho tho tho tho tho tho the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their th their th th th th th th th th th th tho th tho tho tho tho tho the the thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. their their their their the hotel. No Ellis came with me. We went back to the hotel. We're slowly working it out. Yeah, or is that a bluff? Okay, nice work, all right. Okay, he's married, he's not Ellis or Josh. Okay, that's 16, that's 14 options we've got now. Yep, so we went back and he was lying on the sofa in reception with a wet flannel on his forehead that they'd given him.
Starting point is 00:08:05 The paramedics hadn't yet shown up. I couldn't believe. And I'd say... This is pathetic. How much? Well, I was panicked because obviously you've been called back by someone saying we've had to call an ambience. So you had panicked, panicked. I'd say within 15 seconds of seeing him, I thought, this is fine. This is totally fine.
Starting point is 00:08:27 He had been on his bathroom floor, you know when you lie on the bathroom floor because it's nice and cold when you hung over? Yes! But not for about 20 years! So he was lying on the bathroom floor on the cold tiles and he said he got pins and needles in his face and And I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, it's fine because I know he's okay. Yeah, yeah, it's all fine Uh, uh huh. And then he got pins and needles in his arms and he said his hands just went into the crab position he couldn't move them and he started to panic. Anyway, he then went downstairs.
Starting point is 00:09:16 How? Sideways? Oh, like an Egyptian? What like? He walked into reception, he said. Hospital, hospital, ambulance, ambulance. I drunk at the wrong point, sorry. And so then they called an ambulance, looked after him. The ambulance showed up when we were there. Yeah. Two paramedics. They gave him one of those masks with the bag on it that you just breathe in and out. Like an oxygen mask. Yeah. He basically, I mean it's
Starting point is 00:09:57 great for our feature, he's basically having a panic attack because he was so hung over. Right, okay. Okay, fair enough, bless him. Because he couldn't regulate his breathing. Right, and that's what, that's what, so he, he, yeah, okay. I should be laughing that much, but it is quite funny, isn't it? He, he, he saw the funny side very quickly. Also I know, I know who it is, right, I've deduced it and it's not surprised. Right, yeah. Yeah, I think he's, I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's I's he. I's he. I's he. I's he. I'm I'm I'm I'm that he's that he's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's not, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know who's, I know who's, I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who. I know, I know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I's that's that's that's not, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm that's not, I'm that's not, I'm not, I know who. I know who. I know who. I know who's a. I know who's that's that's not, I know who is, I know who is, I know who is, I know who's not, I know who is, I know who. I know who think he's, I'll have him down as someone who would like panic a bit. And so we got a photo of him with the paramedic, the paramedics for a great laugh. We'll have to get him on the podcast. I'll be honest with you, once on a stag do someone's called a paramedic, an ambulance,
Starting point is 00:10:41 because they hang over so bad. It really is, everything else is in the shade after that point.. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that thi, thi, thi, that's, I that's, that's, 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, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, to to to to to to thi. thi. th bad. It really is, everything else is in the shade after that point. Do you know what I mean? That's your big moment. That's the thing. Yeah that's good but that's the headline from the trip. That's the headline from the... After that, anything else that happens really, after the following day is a small fry compared to the paramedic's air for? 15 minutes? long were the paramedics air for? 15 minutes? I thought you'd called the paramedics at one point.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Because I had to, you half mention this on text and I said to Lou and Lou went, fucking hell, Josh loves the hospital. How cuss. I actually thought you'd called him. No, I haven't. He has the safe safe safe safe safe safe safe safe medical medical medical medical medical medical medical medical medical medical medical medical then he had to save medical attention for people he's looking after. No, I hadn't called them. Did you do his temperature? So apart from that, how else was the stag was it?
Starting point is 00:11:38 How did you behave? Did you get drunk? I was really going on Friday night? Well, I was in bed by half ten. What I'd say is that's good. What I'd say is you, you, it's quite really busy and stressful that lead up to the book launch stuff. There's people wanting a lot from you and you're everywhere and putting on your- I'd built up a lot. Yes, you was really looking forward to like a sort of child excited. I probably not going to drink on the euro start. That was a lie. Did you're a lot??? You. I? I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I was a the the the to. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really really really. I was really really really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I. I was really. I. I was really. I. I. I. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I was really. I that that was a lie to myself what did you buy to myself I mean we trained you what time do you get in the train 11 but we had a pint at some pancreas yeah that's you've got to have a pint on the first start yeah the start of a stag yeah and then we drunk on the train and then you're drunk on the train and then you're the the the the to be to be to be to to to the the the to the to the to try try try try try try try try train train train try train train try. tre. to to get to get to get to get to train. to to get to get to get to to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to 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 train. train. train. train. train. try. try. try. try. try. to to the the the the the try. the the the the the the the the the train. the the the train. the the to to to to to to to to to to to 8% Rob. So there's a round of 8% beers and then just two of them and then you're absolutely south of the border really.
Starting point is 00:12:30 What where Germany? We bumped into a stranger in McDonald's the next morning and he was like, you're right Josh and he said yeah I actually rescued you a bit last night you just stood in the street like a zombie and I put you down I took you in and put you on a chair I was like oh my god so how did you so you met out that bloke last night is not just bumped into him in McDonald it's a small town so you just saw me the next morning right okay and you he sorted you out the night before you're stood there like you're on spice the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was th. I was th. th. I was th. I'm the. I was thi. I'm th. I'm th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was liked. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I I was. I I I I was. I was. I I I I I was. I I was. I was. I I. I. I. I was. I was. I. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was th. I was th. I was th. I was th. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. So. before. You're stood there like you're on spice. Yeah. Was it good though? It was fun.
Starting point is 00:13:07 We didn't go up the belfry because of that. And then we were going to go on a boat trip. That was the other wholesome activity, but we had to abandon that because my friend has called a paramedic. lunch. So activities were 8% beer and medical attention. Medical attention, yeah, was the activity. Most people get a stripper, he gets a paramedic, it's a Josh would have come run stag. Exactly, it's very on brand. If anyone's getting stripped, it's you with big scissors to get to the body. Very on brand. And how about the actual stag? Did the actual... Tom Crane get him? Yeah, he did well.
Starting point is 00:13:48 He did really well. We did Mr. and Mrs. that was fun. Yeah. Lots of fun to be had. It was really fun. It was it two nights? Two nights. And then how was it getting back to sort the kids out?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Obviously, Roses the kids. Yeah I was I didn't I didn't get a heroes welcome I'd say on return and I was anticipating that because I don't think I gave her a heroes welcome after she'd been on the hen. You've always got him a hero's welcome and go like don't like get let them come in and go like no no you must be tired it's tiring it's tiring it is it is tiring have a lie down I'll have a lie I I I I I I I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a lie I have a trade-off but it really is, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I remember that once I picked Lou up from the station. She'd been to London and stayed having a night of her friends and then she stayed shopping and lunch all day. I picked her about six and she got to it like she's to be yeah. She's you're all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I' y y' that's. Yeah. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. I I I I I I I I's. I's. That's. I's. I's. That's. I's. I's. I'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 life. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's life. I's life. I'm that's life. I's life. I's life. I's life. Italking. Even if you are, just got to keep that to yourself mate. You've had lunch. That's what you did today. You ate lunch. It's difficult, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:14:52 Because the problem with the going away for the stag, like if you both go away, like when we went to Glaston where you both come back, it's not an unbalanced thing. Do you know what I mean? You're in it together. You're in the the other one's been parenting all weekend. So when you should get back, Sunday? Five p.m. Sunday? Oh, that is a dark time, isn't it? It wasn't ideal. And then did you have to do bath and bedtime? or did Rose do it? Uh, we both did it? But you weren't too bad Sunday? You went that hard on, I was. the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, th. to, to, th. to, to, th. th. th. to, th. to, th. to, to, th. to, to, to, to, the, the the, th. th. to, th. to, the the th.

And the thing about going hard enough to go to bed at 1030 is you've actually had quite a good sleep. Yeah, well that's why I did a Joe Swashy's stag. Go hard at lunchtime in bed by off 10 because no one's getting up before 10. That is a 12 hour window to sleep and rest. Yeah, exactly. For you like to go, three nights sleep two months ago. Miller Light. The light beer brewed for people who loved the taste of beer and the perfect pairing for your game time. When Miller Light set out to brew a light beer, they had to choose great taste or 90 calories per can.
Starting point is 00:16:01 They chose both because they knew the best part of beer is the beer. Your game time tastes like Miller time. Learn more at Miller Light.C.A. must be legal drinking age. It was a fun stagg though so tell me about, tell me about your wig. When they're six and four day flight with iPads or what you do. We've got Fias if whatever they're called.

Starting point is 00:16:38 plane and I don't know how much it was I think it's about 40 or 50 quid which isn't cheap but if someone met Lou as she got off the plane and then walked her through immigration and like pushed all the bags and then went to the carousel, help Lou get the bags and the thing, and then Lou could hold the girls' hands and then he pushed all the bags to the transfer, which you don't really need if, well, what happened was, I booked by accident for me as well. What? Oh no, no.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Right, it's sad. Oh no, no. So if you are traveling. So you're traveling. Yeah, so it's like, it was perfect for Lou. Yeah, so if you are wrong, on your own, that's the today. the kids, the that way she's not trying to look after the kids because if you need to go we the
Starting point is 00:17:27 kids gonna need a wee there's no one to watch the bags you don't leave your back blah blah so it worked really well and they got her to the transfer put all. I put all the bags while Lou sort out of the kid so it's basically someone they helped yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's that's the they they they they the they they they they they th me th me 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 th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 th the the the the the to to to took ty toy toy toy ty toy toy toy toy ty toy the the the the the the the the the there and it was all tight and I was like I saw the board I was like oh no so I didn't have any bags which me and my backpack oh my god and then I'd one the whole luggage I'm just walking with this bloke like you're right is like yep and I'm just walking with him shows me really like the immigration things that go through there then we're just at the carousel and then I go I go the the the car the car I go the car the car the car the car the car the car the car the car to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the car carcou the the the carc. the the carc. the the the carc-I their the carcou their the carc I th th the th th the the bag up and he picked out for it. I was like no I'll get, I also I packed, I packed my bag drunk the night before and I couldn't remember what was in it or what bag it was and it went past me twice and he went give me the ticket thing he had to read, he's actually quite invaluable because I would have stood there for hours. My bag went past me twice. And it was so awkward. It was so awkward. It was so awkward. It was so, and I was like, oh, I've just done the booking wrong. It was so, it was so embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Were you honest with him about it? Like, did you say, I didn't mean to book you? Yeah, I didn't mean to book you, but I didn't mean to book you but now I've got you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was just really, I was like, because what was what, what meant to do to do? to do? to do? to do? I to do? I to do? I to do? I to do? I to do? I to do? I to do? I to do?

Got to get my money's worth out of this guy. I'm going to go to the toilet if you can go. Go on. But no, it's but it.

It's been. It's been. It's been fun. It's been fun out here. It's lovely for the kids. We did the swimming pool. You know I said when they're six and four, it's actually fine the swimming pool, because they can sort of, I take that back. So what's happened now is they've become confident swimmers, Josh, which just involves them jumping on me, then you're knocking me out. And yeah, and what they'll do is they'll go under water for a swim the water for a their their their their their, I, I, because, because, the water for a the water for a the water for a their, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, I, I, because, I, I, I, I, because, I, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I, because, because, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I, I, I, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, 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'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll swimmers but I couldn't leave them in the pool on their own. They're six and four, like you can't leave them in on their own, but what they'll
Starting point is 00:19:27 do is they'll go underwater but swim like five breaststrokes and then you literally can't find when they pop up about six meters away. Oh my God. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna come back. But they're good. They're good. I'm going, I'm good, I'm going, I'm good, I'm good, I'm going, I'm going, like, like, like, like, like, like, I, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I'm like, like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, like, like, like, like, I'm their, 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, I'm, I'm, I'm, under, I'm, under, under, under. I'm, under, I'm, under. I'm, under, under. I'm, under. I'm, under. Under th. hot here that you basically they're in the pool all day, all day. So they're just getting better and better each day. Yeah. They've been doing pranks. So anyway, one of them was just bobbing around in the water and I sort of picked her, and I sort of picked her their tow and then she's okay. And then she went, and then it it it it it turns, it turns, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're.. they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're t then one of them come over and went she's banged her head and she's bleeding and she was like under the tow I was like I got a rung over and I was like what's wrong what's wrong I pick the tow up and the little one went
Starting point is 00:20:11 pranchia oh my god that I don't know what that is not acceptable pranking I know I don't know if they be watching something but they'll keep saying these awful things. I they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they'll they'll they'll they'll they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they're they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're try try try try try try try try try try try try try try th tho tho tho tho tho they're they're saying these awful things. I tell you what wrong. Prank ya, but I've got to solve that out. It's difficult to tell them off for pranking as well because they think it's funny. So you're really changing the tone, do you know what I mean? To go, yeah, but actually this is serious. Pranker. Yeah, I know, but. But also, you're like, we're in this pool for like two more days now. We've been in a few days, we're in for two more days.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I'm not, I don't think I want to really draw a line in the sand on water-based pranks, considering the next time they're going to go swimming is probably next April. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it all you want to die on? It's just a fun little things. Or am I whipping out the time out step every time they pretend to crack their head? Oh God. But you know, they keep going, prank you're not like, you're all shit. And also now, because they like probably want to swim in the deep end, that's like I've got to be in there with them.
Starting point is 00:21:15 And like, I am, I am so burnt. I can't get the cream on my head and shoulders quick enough like because it's so hot so I'll get in there and like I'd say my shoulders of head are puse red bottom off white as white as a boat like bright white but at least and I like I've been putting 50 on my face and shoulders but I just can't keep up with the water and swear but I might have to get like a put an hat on and one of them like dad t-shirts. Yeah, you can, oh, I'm not a t-shirt in the pool. Yeah, but I mean there all day. Is Lou not part of the pool rotations?
Starting point is 00:21:51 No, Louie's doing a fair shift to be honest. However, the UFC was on out here and you went over to do the UFC, you won't fight. I did. A bit of work, I had to fight this Russian geese, no, I'm fighting. I'd say that's, if you had had a UFC fight, I'd say that's probably what we'd lead the podcast with as opposed to your burnt shoulders in the swimming pool. By the way I also did a UFC fight. I was landing the Ottergian going, Prankcher, didn't really hurt myself. Prankja. Yeah, so I went out and there's been lots of football on so I've been going to watch a football occasionally and I went to watch UFC on Saturday. So Lou had to kids for the evening. So the next day Lou was going to go out and do something like with her friend but in the end she ended up just 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 th. th. the th. I I I sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort to to the the to to to to to to to th.

Starting point is 00:22:45 she ended up just sitting around the pool, but every other day she sort of got involved because that was her day to chill she and I respect it actually was like nope you had the UFC I'm not getting in the pool and she just laid by the pool all day and at one point I had thought because there was this I've got some friends out here and their kids are in the pool and they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their was their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th th th th th thooooooooooooooooooooooooo. their their their their their their their their their their their the was this I've got you got some friends out here and their kids are in the pool and they had babysat for us to go out for dinner for our anniversary meal and we went out for dinner so I was like why don't you sit there and have a couple of hours because you you know trading off child care I had all four of them in the pool Josh at thi to like thi to like the that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 the the to to to to to to to to to have have have to have have have have to have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. they. they. they. they. they. they. I I I I I I'm. the the the the the the to to to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. the mental, they were jumping, and also I had ranging from like four to like eight. So the eight-year-olds basically better swimming than me, but she's launching everywhere, trying to keep up of her. There's one that's can sort of swim but is still wearing a life
Starting point is 00:23:33 fest. My two that can swim but occasionally will and went to the bed to like get something. I went to Lou, do you mind watching them when they're out of the water? I know it was a day off of kids. I went, do you mind watching them when they're out of the water? Well, how will I know when they've got out? I was like, well, how the fuck? I'm supposed to, I to look, I'm to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, brutal but then it was the UFC was worth it though but it was oh mate so when's Abu Dhabi an hour away from Dubai got tickets to go to the UFC so the UFC's like fighting in an octagon. Yeah MMA MMA fighting based in America but they do a lot of there's a lot of Middle Eastern and Russian and different fighters from it's brutal it is really brutal yeah and it's like boxing but you're out of kick and elbow and there's little
Starting point is 00:24:28 nut, it's really a brutal thing and I've never been before and so I was doing a bit of work out here and then I was doing a little bit of work with the UFC so I went to watch it as well so it was sort ofby get out get the tickets go to go in PCR please pardon what oh no PCR test what is this two thousand twenty one I know I went so I went what I went let's just go in a pub and sort this out when to go in a bar PCR pardon you cannot enter a public space in ab abdabby about a PCR test so so you can't queue up to to to the th you they. th you th you th you th you th you they they they're they're they're they're they're they're to to they're to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. the the the the the te te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the. P. away. So you queue up and get a PCR test? Yeah, so you're doing it up. So there's about, we're really early, so that's fine. There's about 100 people, well, 50 people queuing up. So now this is the most high pressure PCR
Starting point is 00:25:13 I've ever had in my life. Because I don't know if I've got COVID. Because your then option is between UFC or isolating for the rest. Yes! Like, you're suddenly like, wait a minute, I just, I've put my whole holiday in jeopardy without realizing it. Yeah, so we're queuing up and I'm like, it's either the best news of all time or the worst news of all time. Yeah, yeah. But negative, we're into the UFC, not a problem. Anyway, queue up, do it. All three of us are negative, that was one of the biggest buzzes. Imagine if one of you haven't been. Imagine, I think we'd have to go home and isolate for 24 hours because of close proximity. Oh my word.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Anyway, the stress, we queued up, got a PCR, negative, got in the arena. I have, I, look now, Josh, I go to the boxing and from southeast London. I've sort of growing up moved in circles with I'd say some hard-looking blokes right maybe more so than your average sort of it's what yeah it's why you're so hard yourself it's why I'm so good at avoiding trouble and spotting it and running away quickly basically basically when you're great or I grow up you're rather hard or you're very good at finding out when it's going to kick off and leaving right when into the arena, I have never seen so many odd-looking bastards in my life. A lot of rock, just absolute units, right?
Starting point is 00:26:34 We get in, we've got our tickets, and basically there's a lot of local, as a couple of fighters, as a guy from Dubai fighting on the undercard, so it is a roundful of locals, ranful of people that have travelled in a few English as well but not many. Get in, go to find our seats, we find them, three massive blokes and I go, oh no no no I think you're in our seats. Oh you didn't did you? I went, what have I got to do? to stand up at the back? I went, yeah I thin, I thin, I that's I that's I that's I th's I th's I th's I th's I th. And then me and my two mates are just at the back trying to work out what to do. And then could you say could you tell me which seats you were meant to be in and then we'll sit in them? I'm happy to be your bitch but can you just let us know where I can go and to at the back. There'll be three MD seats nearer the back that you've obviously turned down. So anyway, we went to the toilet and I was like,
Starting point is 00:27:27 and then we just went, look, we've just got to go in and then tell them and then find one of the security people there to move them, right? Anyway, anyway. Anyway, we get back. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. to. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. to. We. We. to. We. We. We. We. We went, we. We went, we went, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We went, look. We went, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look're in our seat, he went, oh what? And he went, oh, okay, and he was like the smaller one. He was like, okay. And then he just, he just walked and there was a seat in front of us, and he just jumped over the seat and sat there. Oh my god, this guy doesn't give our fucking shit does he. And we were thi. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And they, th. And th. And they, 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, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. And, three little weedy, little run English, little run English boys, a little white, with our shorts on, little white legs, just sat there and we just said, we are not moving. We are gonna sit down for the entire time.
Starting point is 00:28:13 And then there was just people, it was just carnage, well basically just chancing their arm and just get into the front and sat near us that had tickets and then moved to my long way I thought there was going to be fights in the crowd but anyway it was so funny I felt so pathetic that bigger boys the bigger boys are taking that seats. I wouldn't I there's no way I respect you for going back to your seats. Yeah but we had we had to leave and do a little bit of a we all had a vodka red ball and just had a chat and was like, right, we're going to go back in and just say, because they are our seats, it's rude what they're doing. It's actually not acceptable. You know, you're talking, it's actually not acceptable.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I've seen there's some security guards, we could tell them and they'll move them for us, but luckily we didn't have to have a confrontation. some of the talking, another guy was with, did a bit more talk, but it was fine. But it was just, it was carnage, and basically they're such big UFC fans out here, it only comes once every year and they had a local guy on the one and he was an underdog and it was mental in there and so it was like a proper like, it felt, the closest I can compare it to, it was the closest I can compare it to is that the final the final the final that the final that the final that the final everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone. to. to. to to to to the final. to the final. their. that's just just just just just just just. that's just. that's. that's just just. that's just. that's just. that's just. that's. that's just. that's just. that's just.

But once the security coming, they sorted all the tickets out and sent everyone to the back, it's just because we got there early and that normally that normally happens in boxing when you get their early people go to go back and the to to to to to to to to to to to to the their their their their their their. their. their. their. their.

What, my. it'll be fine it'll be fine they've been late all holiday because what we've been doing is in this hotel it's quite expensive for the kids lunch and we've been getting deliverer like happy mills
Starting point is 00:30:30 and KFC dominoes and just bringing it in you're smuggling in cheaper to eat it and also they're more likely to eat it and it's honestly about the hotels are very expensive out here like for drinks and food there's a a shop about 20 minute walkaway where it's like 65 P for a can of drink around the pool there about about about eight ten quid it's mental yeah so yeah anyway and what's quite good what are good in these hotels are they normally have like some sort of club lounge thing it's a bit more money to to pay for but you get like three hours of free drinking so So we get three hours of free drinking. Five p.m. to 8 p.m. we can get an absolutely shit-faced and then just riding that way through dinner. And anyway so I was like oh my god I went no it'll be fine it'll be
Starting point is 00:31:13 the delivery has been late every time we've ordered it at lunch it's been late it's been late it's been late and they're getting in my head going.

You just sat on a bench waiting for you? He'd only just got there he was literally had his phone out and he was and my three jeered running out and he was like come to room question mark and I was I reckoned been waking up Lou and the kids. We've been absolute carnage.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Our Arabian adventure thing where you take you into the desert. I've done it, I've never done this before. You're what? Basically, they pick you off from the hotel, drive you to the desert, let down the tires and go all over the sand dunes. It's well good fun. And you go, um, you go with the sand dunes and then it's fun ride. And then you go and watch the sunset and have a little drink on the sand dunes. What I would say, and then you go to a camp that's built into the sand and they do sandboarding. So with all this going on, all sort of local culture kind of stuff, which is great unless your children hate sand. Oh yeah, of course. I must have heard them shout. It's so sandy about about about about about about about about about a a a thaaaennynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynynyny their their their tha tha thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi is thi thi th him shout.

Right? So at the top of this sand dune is all blood. Lou did it as well. We're all still in London. And then we get on the bald thing, fly down this sand due about 100 miles an hour. Get to the bottom, I'm still out of breath. I've done the ride. I've done the ride.

Starting point is 00:35:26 But my kids get all a bit defensive and people do that and start holding my hand and cuddly. It's quite cute. But anyway yeah we're back and we're coming back and we'll be back by the time this goes out as a sort of quick work trip. First first ever half time first ever half term this? Yeah, so how's it because normally before was it you had nursery that was all year and now it's your first half term How's it going? First half term? Done no? Pratt. Yeah, so my son's still in nursery but he's only in two days a week.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So this is we're a little bit ahead so the half term. So you're half a te. So are you haven't so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so you're the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the first. the the the the first. the the first. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the first. the the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the the first of it here right? She's at half-term activities today at school. Yeah. Which I'll right so. I'll be honest with you she was quite disappointed it was half-term. So really she likes it? Yeah she likes it. Yeah she likes it. So you're backing up. So what's how long is she in for half-term activities? What is it's a few days? I'm down Thursday. No full day. Full day is on one down Thursday. I said this morning I didn't know what's the ruling on uniform? Is this all rules off or is this more school? I don't know what the score is. It's got to be no uniform in half term. You already send it back to the fucking school. What's the point of half term?
Starting point is 00:36:33 Exactly. That was my view. No, your own clothes day, mate. to my kids have hen a the time they go back to school. So, well yeah, we'll report back, but any other business from you, you're all good, Josh. No, I regret we haven't organised enough for half-term. It's a classic situation.
Starting point is 00:36:55 No, embrace having space. Everything's thinking, you can wake up in the morning and say to what do you want to do today? Yeah. Well this is what I've promised my kids, Kids in Charge Day. Kids in Charge Day. So they're desperate to a Kids in Charge Day because I'm a way, I'm tall around my house. No, but no, but this is like they can do whatever they want. I want Jelly for Breakfast. You're allowed it, Kids in Charge Day. It feels a bit like what would you would do the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first the first their their their their their they do they do they do they do they do they do they do they are they are they are to do they are to do to do to do to do to do they are desperate to do to to to to to to to to to to they are desperate they are desperate to they are they are they're to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. So. So. So. So. So. So they are they are desperate. So, so they are desperate. So, they are desperate. So, they're desperate. they're desperate. they're desperate. they're desperate. they're desperate. they're desperate. they're desperate. they are desperate. they are desperate. they are desperate. they are desperate. they are desperate. they are they are desperate. So kids in charge day. So I've said they can do that when they break up for Christmas holidays. Nice. When I'm back because I'm away working a little bit. How are you feeling about the Australia trip Rob? Yeah good. It'll be, I'll miss them. They'll miss me, but I've got to do it. It's the only time I could do it. It's the only time I could do it and then like I say with my work it's feast and famine so sometimes I'm away but then I do have more breaks. How are you going to work the the face timing?
Starting point is 00:37:52 What time are you planning to be in touch with the kids? I've not really looked into that but if I do late in the evening it'll be early in the morning there, but it's not too bad that with face time, it's a lot easier. If they, what, hang on, what time is it? I think, Rob, I think if you're a good dad, you'll be getting up at 6 a.m. to just say good nights then. Right, you're a good dad. Right, I think if you're athis is why it's difficult because what I want to do is speak to him late at night after the gig before they go to school. That is going to be bed in the house. What they want is you just to speak to them before they go to bed, 6 AM Australia time. I think you owe them that, Rob, I think you owe them that Rob. I think you should set your alarm. I find this this this this this is this is this is this is this is really this is really this is really really this is really th is really th is really really th is really th is really th is really th is really thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the they the the their their their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they they they're they're they're they. I they. I they. I the. I the. I the. theat. they. they. they. they. I they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they ask, I don't. Because I find it kicks off indoors because it disrupts the flow of what's going on.
Starting point is 00:38:49 And it's selfish in a way because it's me wanting to see them. And actually me seeing them reminds them. Kids are way better at dealing with stuff like this. So you're going to give yourself some lines, is what you're saying? No, no, no, rather than face time them before bed, you think it's better that you just lie in. No, I think kids deal with being, kids would deal with a moment better than adults because we weigh ourselves down with expectation. Kids don't, they're just existing, cracking on with stuff. So I think I'll wait for their lead to face times.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I think they're waiting for their lead a face time and you're laying on a bed in a hotel and lose like fuck off I'm trying to do breakfast they're already kicking off now they're using you against me kind of thing but I'm sure it'll be fine I'm trying to not think about that there's plenty of honest thinking about the now Josh and now it's time for small business out oh look at tho' that the link hirash to to the to their their to their their their their their to their their their their their their their to their their their their their their their their their their my their my their my their my their their my their my their my 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 toy. toy. toy.

Jemma has a beautiful daughter, Soraya, who is now seven, and like many Moana, Tiana and Marybell loving children, requested a princess party for her birthday. Gemma was able to find dozens of princesses, entrainers for the princesses of white ethnicity, but no companies who provided any princesses of colour. Realizing that there would be many other families across the country who had encountered this lack of diversity and coming from a family of singers herself, she decided to start her own business. A princess like me is a party
Starting point is 00:40:14 agency for princess entertainers of color with various packages, personalized princess video messages and full princess events with fun games, singing performances, storytelling and much more. Gemma hopes she can provide a magical day for children wishing to meet their favourite princesses who to this point have been massively underrepresented. The business is currently based in Harfordshire and London but is looking to expand soon and I know a shout out from you would make all the difference to her. You can find out more at a princess likeuk or Instagram, a princess like me UK.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Thanks for all the laughs. My wife and I listen to every episode. Cheers Rob and Chavon. Thank you very much. That's a great one. So that's a great one. That's a princess. Thank you everyone for listening.
Starting point is 00:40:55 We'll be back on Friday. Thanks guys. We'll see you next, next to a nex. An interview? An interview? That sounds exciting. A guest? An interview? It's a chat. It's a chat. Just an informal chat for you guys and girls. Chattin. What what you can get from this is me and Rob don't know which interview it is. So we're trying desperately not to say the name because we're not sure which one it is. But you'll find out on Friday. As will we.
