each week we're chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're they're tha th hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course, tales of parenting
woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're
doing.

Wow. Hi Josh, I'm a fairly new listener. Yeah, I can tell. Just, they're not, the point is you introduce us to the show, but it's just a child-baking
noises.
I've gone back to the start to listen to all listeners as well as listening to your newly
weekly episodes and I'm obsessed. Smash season one in the space of two weeks.
Actually, I quite like this guy. Yeah, woman. It's so bizarre. Can you say guy for a woman, Kate?
Yeah, yeah.
It's so bizarre listening to COVID talk, but the episodes are absolutely hilarious.
Gutted I didn't know about this then as I have my daughter, Sophia on February 2020.
Sovere turns three on the tenth of the second.
Long labour, 28 days. A. Good job when a 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 tha tha tha toy's tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha ta ta tha tha tha tha to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to ta to to ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta to ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. today today today te. te. te. today te. te. today toe. that means. Is that work as a joke? I'll take it.
It's leap years longer or shorter?
Leap years are longer.
Yes, it worked.
Turn 3 on the 10th of the 2nd, 20th, 23rd.
So it would be great for you to introduce her on your 10th of February episode.
Didn't do that episode you've read the wrong one oh no oh no
and my seer Connel in Australia oh no my seer Connel message isn't
downloaded from the server, look. Do you...
Well, have you...
Oh, no.
I mean, that's a completely wrong person.
I'll be honest with you, Rob.
I was thinking that was a fucking rubbish performance for a three-year-old,
but I just kind of went over it.
I was like, that is poor for a three-year-old.
But we're just going to ignore it.
The thrill, let's just skirt past that one.
How big was that leap year two years?
Yeah, I wanted it, bloody hell.
Right, do you want me to read who that was?
Or do us to redo that properly, Michael?
No, no, come on. This is what the people lovetickle me, that's the tickle me, that really tickle me, Josh.
Do you want me to read out who it was? Let me play it again.
I know we'll read out who it was. This is a mess.
Can you say, Rob, dicket?
Bob, can you say, Josh, we dig him.
There we go. Someone's ringed my fucking doorbell. This is a joke. Bob! Can you say, Josh, we dig him.
There's someone's ringing my fucking doorbell, this is a joke, and cut me off.
Is there at home? Yeah, she'll get it, but it just cut my phone off.
Oh, right.
Yeah. Wow.
This is wow, just wow. If he just pressed that door a second later, um, do you know what that was?
No, not what, what, the door not what the door and the door I think is...
Oh, that is underdog fitness to do some boxing pads with Louise. Oh, right. Yeah, here we go.
Sorry. So that clip though. Yeah, Josh. Hi, hi Bob and wow. It makes sense when you listen to
the audio. So he said wow for Whitacabwe. Here is my one yearyear-old. Makes sense. Don't need to feel bad anymore.
Right. My one-year-old Atticus.
Wow, do need to feel bad. Only joking.
Oh, I thought, I wonder how true it's going to deal with this,
because normally you deliver the name and I give an opinion. Yeah. And actually, you're a bit of a bitch. I'm not, no. I mean, I've, I've, I've, 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 th. to. I'll to, I'll to, I'll to, I'll to to to toe, I'll toe.

I'm not, no. I mean, I've, I'll be honest,
we've stuck our names out, our necks out with our children's names. I like it. I like
the balls of it. Yeah, you've called one Testes. Yeah, Atticus Finch. Who is Atticus Finch?
Who is Atticus Finch? Is that, um, to kill a mockingbird, yes. Yes, of course. Oh, very fancy. Thanks for consistently being the podcast that makes me laugh out loud and all the solidarity,
which gets me through many a day.
See ya, Melbourne, Australia.
Oh, the big Melbourne.
The big Melbys. The big Melbys.
Have you been to Melbourne?
No, we went to Australia to do last like we didn't get
to Melbourne which was heartbreaking because I've heard it's A, the best place in Australia
and B is the home of Rams. Can I tell you it? I don't think it is the best place in Australia.
I tell you why? Well I think Melbourne Right, okay. But like, but also because it's blocks, it also reminds me of like New York slightly because
it's blocked.
But like not New York's, it's tiny.
But it's actually, if you're going to all the way to Australia, I don't really want
to coffee like a European city.
I could have done that in an hour. Yeah, I'm, okay. I, okay. I. I. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to to to to to to keep. to keep. to keep. to tho. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep. to keep.

Yeah, it's a bit like Boston.
Exactly.
In America.
Tiny.
It's basically a very nice European city.
Yeah, exactly.
And it is nice, but you want, yeah, anyway.
But I prefer other places in Australia.
But a lot of the fringy alternative comics love Melbourne because they sit around having coffee, sort of talking to each other and reassuring each about their shows. Never needed it. Never needed it.
Josh, how are you?
I'm all I've had a hell of a, hell of a morning, Rob.
A hell of a morning.
A hell of a morning.
Bit of a school run disaster.
Yeah.
Um, it was only just a minute.
I thought I was going to be late, but I actually made it in time, so sorry if I haven't got a cup of tea, that is a worry, but
I'll blast through.
Will you suffer without the tea?
That's my question.
Only psychologically not energy wise.
Okay.
So it's more of a crutch.
Yeah.
Oh, I'd love it.
I'd love it.
I'd love it.
I'd love it. still downstairs? I don't know whether I should. I don't mean for the pod, just a hey Rose, I was a bit caught up on the school run, I'm flagging, please could you

Oh Jim Royal. One of my favorite things is try to cause an argument between
another couple and then watch. It's delivered. No I don't mean that I mean the
message. Yeah the message. Sorry God. So got in the car. The car is in a bad state Rob.
Should I start with. Do you want some pictures of the car? What's wrong with the car, the car is in a bad state Rob. Should I start with...
Do you want some pictures of the car?
What's wrong with the car?
Um, that it's filthy.
Yeah, okay.
So I'll start with the front footwell just as a little starter.
Let's have a look.
The front foot, well, yeah, but I'd say most comedians,
no, that is bad.
But it's not bad when the the the the the the the the the the th.
and parents, no that is bad. But it's not bad when you see the rest of it.
Right, okay, so there's a bit of dirt on the floor on crap,
but the empty bottle of milk's really worrying me.
Well, that is because we were,
they take them at school, they're building a nursery,
they're building a... Oh, so it's been washed out. I just thrown two pints of milk. No. I'm. I'm. I's. I's. I's. I's. the the the their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty the empty the empty the empty the empty the empty. The empty. The empty. the empty. The empty. the empty. the empty. The empty. The empty. The empty. The empty. The empty. The empty. the empty. The empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the empty. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tree. tree. te. te. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. the empty tea. the empty looks bad on the floor of a car, doesn't it?
A empty bottle of milk.
But my brother Joe used to buy like little pints of milk and walk around drinking.
I mean, I used to think it was disgusting.
This is the back seat.
This is the first back seat.
I apologize to Joe if that wasn't's crushed up biscuits and stuff over time.
From a pomber.
Over time.
You can see like a dead pombear there, can't you just see the outline of a dead pombear.
I tell you what, he looks like he can get a last leg at the moment.
He's missing his right foot.
That pomber.
That is bad. because that's very, it's good to see that it's not just my car that's awful. Oh no, that is, what's that?
Why is it like that?
What is that?
It looks like the bottom of a bin.
There's a banana.
Oh, genuinely that is disgusting, Josh.
Yeah, that's bad, isn't it?
It's a bad one.
The others I've seen before, but that looks like a that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,. So we get in, we're late, it's...
Look, Rose is going to have the right to reply on this episode. Right, okay. What have you done?
I don't think I've done it. Well, basically I think we're both in the wrong.
Okay. Yeah. So we put it into way, there's two different ways to go to school depending on traffic. Okay. Put it into ways in ways the way ways the way ways the way ways in the way ways the way the way the way the way the way the way the way way the way the way the way the way way way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. the way. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. too. to. to. to. to. to. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. There. There. depending on traffic. Okay. Put it into ways, they're both long, but the way... How long we're talking? It's normally about
18 minutes and we're talking 26 and 29. Oh yeah that does buy it, that 29er. Yeah,
because if that creeps up... Yeah, and Rose goes, don't do the 26 route because that's the one where I just got completely stuck on. Okay. I think you can't the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, that's, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that way, that that that that's th. How th. th. How th. How that, that, that, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, the way, how the way, how the way, how the way, how the way, how that way, how that way, how that't do the 26 route because that's the one where I just got completely stuck on.
Okay.
I think you can't ever overrule ways.
Look, as a rule, when you're a comedian traveling around the country, you never, you never
overrule ways, okay? Never overrule it. However, I think if someone does that run every day,
and they're talking from experience, you've got stuck once. that Josh, if you go 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 every day and they're talking from experience. No, she got stuck once, Rob. And it is stuck with that.
If you go Rose's way, it's a win-win.
Well, this is the problem, Rob.
This is exactly what I did.
I decided rather than go with my instinct that I would prefer
Rose to be a fault.
Yes, OK.
And I'm just saying that is, is yeah, of course No, I would too about the top like consciously. I don't think that's the decision I made
Yeah, no, I would consciously like the time I now think I thought I don't tell that issue would want that I would want that you would want that you were wrong Yeah, this way. Isn't that? Yeah, it's great because because if she does get the th also th also that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that that's that that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the the the the tha? time? time? time? time. the time. time. the time. the that's the the the the the the the the the the the the the there quick, you got there quick. And she's smiley, but whatever she was right, you got there quick.
But now this way is the best way, isn't it?
Isn't that terrible thing?
So I went with her decision.
Great.
Yeah, awful man I am.
Was you going to slow on purpose, try.
No, I wasn't going to. By the way, she's making me a cup of tea. Oh, what a woman!
What a woman!
What a woman?
She's gonna pop to the car to get some milk?
Yeah, well, on that, there was two milk bowls.
We were driving along.
Yeah. And then it was, the heating was on, so it was heating up, and my daughter, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, the the the, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 the the the to the to to to to to to to to to to. Oh no. And one of the milk cartons that we were taking hadn't been washed out properly.
That's not acceptable.
So we'd only just put it in the car.
You can't fuck about with milk.
The smell was unbelievable.
And my son was like, he was holding one of them, she was holding the other,
and the one he was holding, stank of old milk. And then we were the worst traffic jam of all time.
Oh yeah, okay. Made Rose phone the school to say we're going to be late, obviously.
Also, obviously the moment we phoned the school, the traffic opened up and we carried on driving.
And made it in the end, but it was a very stressful morning that meant I only got back two minutes before we started the podcast. Okay, and what time do you normally 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. thrific thrific thrific is thrific is thrific is thrific is thoes thoes thrific. throes, thrific. thoes, thoes, thoes, to phone to phone to phone the the the the the the the to phone to phone to phone to phone to phone to phone. Oh, to phone. Oh, to phone to phone. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thrown. I was was was thrific. I was thrown. I was thrown. It's thrown. It's thrown. I was thrown, thrown, thrown, toe, toe, toe, toe, toooes, toe, tooes, toe, toe. Oh, toe. Oh, toe. Oh, thoes, two minutes before we started the podcast. Okay, and what time do you normally get back before the pod?
Ten minutes, which is the perfect amount of time.
Right, so it's an eight minute delay.
Oh, yeah, to be fair, so what's that easy, so what's that's what weigh?
So what's thear, so what's. Yeah. Who's worried about it as well? And also there's a junction. My brother said there's a junction, right, that's pretty free
and easy during the day. My brother said, oh yeah, my mate lives around here, he says this
junction is hell on the school run. Oh, oh. And I've not told who that yet. Oh, oh, well. She'll be listening. Have you been putting it into ways at school thetime to get a feel for what you're looking
at at school run time?
No, do you know why?
Because you don't want to know.
Because I'm not going to change my decision.
Why I talk to myself?
Why, I'm not talking to reassure yourself?
No, no, no, no, it never does, is it?
to give me the past, I'm not criticizing, because you're trying to look at it, reassure yourself, go, actually go this way, go the way, just accept it.
Yeah. Worst case scenario, you're in the warm, listening to the radio for a bit longer.
Oh, don't get me wrong. The way home. One of the great relaxes of my day. The drive home. I absolutely love it.

I don't want to go to school.
Oh, well, that's that's good then.
You're sick in the head and you made Rose be the bad guy.
I'm not sick in the head.
I didn't make Rose be the bad guy. It was nice actually we both gave each other half a day to do what we'd want. That was good.
Right, what'd you do?
Victoria Park for a little walk?
No, no.
How dare you?
I went into town for a mooch.
Yeah.
Just had a walk.
I was meeting someone for dinner in town.
So I went in early, Oh, navy blue, buttons.
Yeah, of course it's blue.
With buttons.
But, Rob, all jackets have got buttons.
No, they don't, you can have a zip one.
You're not a couple of zip.
I've got a blaser.
Why have you got a blazer?
Why have you got a blazer?
Are you doing some fancy jobs without me?
No, it's like a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it got a blazer? Are you doing some fancy jobs without me? No, it's like a, it's not a complete soup, it's a blazer.
Do you want to see a picture?
Uh, yeah.
You don't have to.
No, I don't have to.
I don't have to.
No, you don't have to.
No, no, I want to see it.
They've got, um, baby gap. Back to school signals a fresh start for students.
New classmates, new teachers, new lessons.
Change is in the air.
But one thing hasn't changed.
The forward government still isn't investing in public schools.
Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need.
They can't wait another year.
If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government.
Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools.
told us.
A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
Um, and what else do you get?
You got a jacket? Anything else?
I walked out of Tottenham Court Road too, Rob?
Yes? I'm gonna sound like a Saturday now. Now.
I walked out of Tottenham Court Road to you and there was a big video art installation.
And I thought, do you know what? I'm just going to look at this and enjoy it and watch it.
I stood there. And I was like, this is what people do when they're not rushing from one
thing to another.
And I looked at the art installation for 15 minutes.
Okay, and was it nice having that little bit of space to do that?
I just thought I can do this.
This is me relaxing.
Josh, your life is opening up.
I know.
This is potential.
What happens if your life opens up too much and we both everything is quite easy we've got nothing to mow about it? No but Saturday was still
awful. All right okay we'll get to that. Yeah so I had a lovely time really.
Oh nice. Yeah really nice time very much enjoyed myself feel relaxed today

I like Tashon books.
Oh yeah, but that's a bit stiff.
That's a bit heavy if you buy it too early in the in the walk.
Yes, they are too heavy, but they're nice books, a pulling down the sort of assad of this sort of tough nut from South London?
No, there's no tough nut of South London for you.
In my head I sort of feel like I am, but I think it's because I'm surrounded by TV people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's sort of different.
It's all relative, isn't it? So why was Saturday bad? Because I've got a play date from to play the play play play play play play play play play play play the play to play the play to play to play to play to play the play to play to play to play to play the play to play to play to play the to play to play to play to to to to to to to the to to to to the to 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 to to to 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 tho tho tho tho tho tho thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the thoooooooo to to to to th park take him out running. Yeah yeah Oxford and Rose went out.
Walk the dog pick up his shit back in, let him sleep it off.
Oh Rob, at the slide it was perfect big slide weather.
Right. As in, he was cold which makes the slide faster but it was dry.
So the slide was at top speed and I went off the end.
So that was bad.
Did he laugh? Yeah, luckily, because he was sat on my lap and some people, and then the second time I went down,
I tried to slow myself down with my feet,
and I did a kind of 90 degree turn,
and end up going down sideways.
And I thought, this is too extreme for my tasks.
Does he, um, because can he go down that slide? if I'm honest with you. Seven plus. It's a big slide. It's a big old slide.
Seven plus, Jesus Christ.
Yeah, because now at the park I just sort of let the girls run around they can go and everything.
That's liberating.
Oh my God.
Now that's freedom.
That's freedom, Rob.
Sit there with your bloody coffee, the park to practice on the bikes and have to carry the bikes and they're so heavy after what.
Yeah.
That's good to get 10,000 steps in.
Tell me about your play date from hell.
Um, yeah, so are they listening?
Yeah, probably.
No, do you know what?

Well, she won't be able to reply she's walking.
But, so there's two types of coffee which people, Josh,
there's people that I have my coffee and that means they sit down and they do something.
It's almost quite ritual whether As you go, it's
legs tucked around under the bum on the sofa leaning, having the coffee. This is my best
bit of my morning kind of thing. Yeah, this is it and this is protected. The school runs done.
I come back 9 a.m. to 9.15 I have my coffee. Okay. That means she's not even started making your tea yet. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's. That's.

stay. She'll have on a move but when the kids are in school she will sit whack on a bit
of good morning Britain. We'll moan about whatever politicians on and then we go to work. Exactly. Exactly. That's our life. That's a lot.

So this play date, so I was a, it was away, weren't we, gigging? And Lou was like, I had Thursday and Friday off, but Thursday was just a, I was mess,
we didn't get in until 4 a.m. We were aft.
Because we're trying to come back from the North East and the A1M was shot and the M1.
And I followed ways and it took us the wrong way.
I can near thank you.
Here please.
Where do you want it?
Okay.
Quite aggressive was it or not?
Rob thought that was quite aggressive what you just said.
Well, I don't care what you think.
Okay, I was anything.
Do you eat coffee?
She said, how's that for aggressive? She said, how's that for aggressive? How's that? Enjoy... How's that for aggressive?
How's that for it?
I'm quite scared of Rose.
I think she could have been a barrister, I reckon she'd just destroy people in an argument.
Yeah. Have you ever beaten Rose in an argument?
No. And I imagine I'm about to lose one about ways.
Well, it's 17 minutes. It's actually nearly as long as your school run. That tea delivering.
Anyway, right, so the play date, so we come, so Thursday was a bit of a write-off.
I had bits of Bob's to do.
And then Friday, we had to get out really early to go and do boring admin stuff, but
like, you know, like, you know, like, we all, we both have to this and we have to make decisions right so I was doing that on Friday luncheon she went oh I was getting my haircut she went oh can you change
your haircut because I need your help on the school run I was like okay
why was that she went other we got a play date I'm not not not the type can you
change it I thought she meant can you change your hair cut I know she's still not keen on the old French crop but could you get a Rachel so she went to can you to the the the the the the the the the the the to to to the to to the to the to the to to the to to to the the to the the the to the the to to the the to the the the the to the the the to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 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 old French crop, but could you get a Rachel? So she went, can you change it because I was going at that 3 o'clock, so I moved it back
to 1 o'clock because the kids had got a play date.
I was like, oh, okay, assuming that there'll be one friend coming over, she said no, both
children invited two friends over. In the end, my youngest had two friends, my oldest had one friend, and they come around, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, and their, 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, because, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their. their. their. their, their, their, their, because, their, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because go in the garden. All lovely kids are on their own, but it was just loads of kids, right?
Screaming and shouting and then basically what happened was,
the younger ones, the difficulty is if there's more than one come around for a playdate,
what we normally do is if one comes around for a playdate and they're arguing over
like what they want to watch orthe guest choose, and you know, we're at home all the time, you can watch it when they go
they're here now. That is my absolute get out of jail free gun.
It's your, let's go with your route of ways approach. Yes, yes, exactly.
But if they've got two friends over, if you do that, yeah, then if the other two go, well I want that, I want that, I've got nothing
left in the locker.
Oh no, Rob.
But then, it's all going wrong.
It was fine and then I had to pop out to get some antibiotics.
Anyway, I've got cytositis, never boring side, side hustle I've got going on.
Yeah, and then I come home and then it was about half five and I said to Lou what time are they getting picked up she went 7 p.m. Whoa whoa wow that's quite late isn't it?
That's interesting.
Yeah I thought she was winding me up.
Like a bit of banner I was like yeah good one.
No 7 p.m. I was like what?
But it was to be fair and the all the kids are fine but I just think having five children in your house on Friday th th th th th th th Friday th Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That th. th. th. th. That's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's that's th. That's th. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. That's. That's. That's that's. That's that's that's that's th. It's th. It's th. th. th. It's th. It's th. th. th. th. It's th. th. It's th. th. th. th. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's are fine, but I just think having five children in your
house on Friday night, it's too many.
They were all lovely, but it's like, it's a lot.
And then when there's more than one, then they all argue over what they want.
And because there was different ages as well, someone had like kiddie stuff on and
someone had older stuff on, but then older stuff the younger ones did want so it was just a bit of a it felt a bit like a stag do
when everyone's all right on their own but together there's too many
conflicts of interest yes you know it's trying to merge those groups well when
you're on a stag do if you're the best man you cannot so you simply cannot let anyone have a say you have to lead a kind to the to to the to to the to to the to the to to the the to to to the to the the to the to the to the the th. th. th. th. I the the the to the. I to to the. I the the the. I the. I to to the. I the. I the. 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 th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean. tee. te. te. te. the. the. the. the. the a say. You have to lead a kind of fascist state.
Yes, exactly.
But you can't lead a fascist state with children.
Yeah.
No, no you can't.
Tell me.
But they were all good, but it was just a few too many kids of different ages and stuff.
But yeah, 7pm.
I think 6 p.m. It would have been fine till 7 if they just had one to, th, th, th, th, th, to, th, to, th, th, th, th, th, to, th, th, to, th, th, th, th, th, th, to, th, to, to, to, to, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, the, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi... And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi, thi, been fine. It's that last hour killed us off. But probably would have been fine till seven if they just had one friend over. But five kids. Not for the people that have
five or six actual children. I just don't understand. Fair play to them. And it exists. Also,
just you've made your own bed. I don't know if you've had this right. And all the other beds. In the morning watching see babies. Have you got sky sky. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. th. I. th. th. I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th., have you got Virgin or what you got? I got Skyra.
I've trying to...
I can just say it's incredibly easy to use the format.
Are you promoting it?
No, carry on.
Oh, is that sort of... I felt that was like a hidden advert in TV shows and have to
put the little pee in the bottom. Yeah, paid promotion and they're like everyone on Love Island's
putting on like Ray-Doc's shower jet or something.
And CBBs normally if they need to do something like brush the teeth, go to the toilet
E, I'll pause the telling, go right, I'm not playing it again until you do that.
I'd say my greatest power as a dad.
But I don't know if it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's the CBBC, CBBs, he wouldn't let me pause it when you cannot you are not
allowed to pause this show. What? I've never seen that before. You can't pause
bluy. I couldn't pause bluey this morning and I don't know because even if it's live. Bluey's so big now maybe they
could just start doing that so I show off their power. I don't know if I don't know
it whether I'm. Do you want it on that set you want it on Sky? No pools for us.
I want it a bit like you know like my my biggest bug bear is when you go to cinema and a film's been shot in a super super wide screen way for no reason no I've got
no idea why and that's the only way they'll release it and there's not a
screen there's only like three screens in the world it fits on properly and
you're at like Bromley view squinting do you know what
happened Robbue do you know what happened Rob, Bluey went to Sky, the people behind Bluey, Joe, I can't remember his name.
Brown?
Joe Brum, yeah.
That's it.
He has the music, didn't he?
Oh is he?
I think he's the main guy.
He's the main guy.
Good looking bloke.
He's got it all.
Um, anyway, he way to go for a weak pun, Rob. Okay, go on, sorry, you get the pun out, go on.
He went to Sky, he went to the head of Sky.
Alright, okay.
And he said, uh...
Because you're doing a pun in a fictional,
hypothetical situation, itthere won't be.
Absolutely no pause.
That would be a great story if that was real.
It's good though, and it just left.
And it goes, we'll pay you more money.
He goes, don't need it.
Don't need it.
I just want to be in charge of the show. I want to be on a change the system? Yeah, I am in your
office but I'm telling me to fuck off out of it because I'm Joe Brum and I'm
mate bloody. He just turns up with like piqued like gangsters. I'm not happy to
tell me about what? So tell me about what? The other things we said is a good looking looking guy so this is really funny so we're doing the live........... So. So. So. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, the th. So, th. So, the th. So, the th. So, the the th. So, the th. So, the the th. th. So, thi, th. th. the th. the th. the the to to to to the to to the th.

So, th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the. the the the. thi. So, thi. So a good looking guy. So this is really funny. So we did the live shows. Obviously Michael's with us on the live show.
And he's known as sexy producer, Michael.
He's got a big sexy voice.
And there's points to the show where stuff needs to be brought out.
Was it, oh Michael, why don't you bring it out
and say hello you to say.
There's been a lot of hype in the last three years,
and there's no way, at least 50% of those people
aren't going to be underwhelmed.
It's just a fact.
The women.
The women. collectively sigh that your appearance. It just isn't worth it. No, I, yeah, I know what you mean.
Because you'll never live up to sexy producer Michael in their mind
who, whatever you look like.
Well, actually, I'd say you're an attractive man,
but you're not, you're not sort of like Brad Pitt.
You're not Joe Brum. You're not Joe Brum. You're not Joe Wicks. Yeah, you're not Brad Pitt, but you are, I tell you, are seriously fuckable for your age.
Rob, I've got a question for you.
Get on.
Do your kids, you know when they say an adult phrase, and you're like, where has that come from?
Rose's mom had bought like a kind of, you know, one of those activity books for my daughter?
And she was doing a maze, you know, you like those activity books for my daughter and she was doing a maze.
You know, you like just follow through a maze with a pen.
She just turned to me and she went, I love a good mace.
I love a good maize.
And I love a good, good maize.
That's such an old person's thing to say.
Yeah, a good, a good, a good, I love a good Victoria sponge. Yeah, I love a good Victoria sponge.
Can't beat a Vicky sponge with a cup of tea wherever you are.
Piping hot cup of tea, can you?
I'll go abroad and I love to pass, but I love a vicky sponge me.

I've got visions of you, Rose and your eldest walking around stately homes,
going isn't this lovely? And then your son's dragged face on MDMA. I think that's a bit.
You might, I don't think you'd be doing that at 11. No, as I say Rob Hackney. Now. Hackney, he'll be selling it.
I don't think so. We've not got a business brain our family.
A lot of organiser. I don't think I don't respect the organization of drug dealers. It must be really hard. But do they keep th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th to to th th to the to the to the. to to the. to to the the. to to thi thi. thi. to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be the, I the, I the, I the, I the.

Getting it in the country.
Oh my word.
It's hard to run a business when you're allowed the stock.
Do you know what I mean?
Email in, the oldest person thing your kid of under five has said.
Yeah. Yeah, I've got gout Oh yeah. I've got I watched something
interesting Josh I watch the KSI documentary on Prime and anyway so it's quite interesting is
he basically massive YouTube but loads of money then he started in boxing and done music
and he went to like private school in like Watford with a lot of other these
YouTube is all sort of it was like a little movement together and but his parents
a very sort of strict African parents I think they move they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they th tho they tho tho th th th th th th th th th th th I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch I watch 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 out the the the the the the the the the the tho tho to thoo to thoo thoo tho to thoo to the the the the the but his parents a very sort of strict African parents I think they moved to the UK
first and then set the kids to school but obviously he's a bit like wild and
out there and was focusing on YouTube and not on studying and things like
but like the relationship with his parents is really odd like if it
like the way talks about it is more really a podcast about
he's relationship with his parents If it like the way he talks about it is more really a podcast about He's getting on Rob.
Well he's relationship with his parents and his brother and how that that sort of drove him on to succeed to try and impress them.
Because he sort of like was impressing them but like they're not in the way they sort of wanted to be impressed, especially at the time in defense of their parents.
YouTube was no one the teund. their their their their parents. YouTube was, no one could ever imagine that you could create an industry and a business from YouTube at that point. It was just sort of messing around online. But
then he has a sit down with his dad and talks about it and they sort of never hug and then, they sort, like,
they sort of like, never like, they sort of like, like you never, like people that don't really hug and there must be people listening that they didn't hug their parents
and they still don't, and now they've got kids, they do the complete opposite and they're very,
very affectionate or maybe they've carried it on and because they didn't get hug, they don't know, and I don't know if it's like, you hug them when they're, they're, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, they don't, and they don't, and they don't, and they don't, and they don't, and they don't, and they don't, and they don't, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're they're 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 sort of become 11, 12, go through pubi and start becoming men or women, it makes it feel awkward.
But I just don't know, I don't know, I don't know if there's, I'll be quite interesting,
if there are any people that listen that maybe as a kid didn't really get hugged or shown
affection, how has that affected your upbringing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've got the success in the world,
number one albums, boxing champion, earned millions really successful. This
documentary is basically fully fueled by the fact that there was an awkwardness
between him and his parents and it's amazing that no matter what success
you go on, there's something there that's driving it. It's good that he's aware of that as well. It's really important that he's aware of that, I think.
Yes, yes, so it's sort of like.
Because a lot of people wouldn't be aware
that they've been driven by a weird relationship
with their parents.
Yeah, exactly. So it's really interesting to see. to see. to see. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that. It's that. that's that's that's that's that's that's that. that that he's that he's that he's that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that he. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. It's that. It's sort. It's sort. It's sort. It's sort. It's sort th. It's sort the the the the th the the the the the the the the the the the the th the the th the th the th th the the th th th the thi thi. thi almost trying to educate them and control the relationship
into a degree where like, no, look, this is what we can do, why don't we do this and talk
about this, but it sort of feels like you can't really change other people's behavior.
They need, they're on their own sort of journey.
Yeah, exactly. He's obviously doing his work in his work in his head about how he's obviously, but you's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, this is, this is, this is this is this is this is this is what, this is this is what, this is what, this is what, this is what, thito wait for other people to do their own, sort their
own stuff out, because I think the way they were talking about it, they were talking about
the way they were parented, KSA's parents, was so strict and different that they, they,
just, they were doing a sort of more chilled out version, and even KSI documentary, especially that dynamic. KSI, one of the most successful men in the world, in the world of entertainment.
Yes.
Have I told you that I was once supported by KSI?
Really?
Yeah.
Well, emotionally or on stage at a gig?
Yeah.
I did a corporate for Ben and Jerry's.
Okay, right.
Right. Where there was a stage in the
middle of a park. Right. And it was me, Catherine Ryan, it's must have been a
decade ago. Right, yeah. And a bloke called KSI who'd never done stand-up before.
I'd never heard of and he was going to have a go at stand-up. Yeah. And a lovely
bloke, really sweet guy, went on and stand-up's a lot more difficult
than it looks when you're doing it for the first time. And at a corporate in a park, in a park,
and I remember thinking, bloody I'm never going to hear from this loser again.
This guy, who the fuck is this bloke? Lovely bloke, don't get me wrong, but what the fuck is going on here?
Do you know what, though?
That makes me feel better about how hard it is to be a comedian.
Because these YouTubeers, they give boxing a goat,
do quite well.
He's got three number ones in music. Exactly. He's decent, but you don't listen to him and go, oh my god, it's it's it's it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, makes, makes me, makes me, makes me, to, to, makes me, to, makes me, makes me, the. to, makes me, makes me thi, makes me thi, makes me, thi, th go, oh my God, it's like the New Adel. He's not like, his voice isn't, you know,
it's sort of well put together and catchy songs and good collaborations.
But what's interesting is because a lot of YouTube's did try and do live shows,
but when everyone got there, it was like, well, I don't know,
you can't just show us clips of clips I recommended this? I know we're going in for serious documentary recommendations about parenting.
Have you...
Did I recommend...
This is a space for it?
It can't all be fucking laugh a minute, man.
Exactly.
We're had a good old laugh and now we're showing that we're not dead inside.
Have you... Have I recommended the John Bishop documentary about his son?
No. Oh man, it is absolutely brilliant. It's called Life After Death, D-E-A-F and his
son lost his hearing at the age of 15. Wow, it's late, isn't it? Yeah, and it's about
John Bishop and his son and it's really moving because it's about how the family and
particularly the relationship between John and his son Joe was affected by this and John Bishop's he beats himself up a lot about how he
reacted to it he tried to solve it rather than try to kind of identify with it
I think and yes it follows John Bishop and his son as they try and kind of
rebuild their relationship and John Bishop learned sign language to do a gig in sign
language to deaf people.
Oh, that's good.
And it's incredibly moving and brilliant and it's on ITVX and I'd highly recommend it.
We should definitely get John Bishop on to talk about.
Yeah, we should. I can't believe you haven't got him on before to be honest.
But yeah, oh, that's interesting. I didn't know that. And I do think th. I that. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thin, I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I didn't thin't thi. I didn't thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. I'm th. I'm th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't thi. I didn't thi. I didn't thi. I didn't thin. I didn't thi. I didn't thi. I didn't th. I didn't thr. I didn't thi. I didn't thi. I didn't th big part of your life, you do try and solve it rather than accept it.
And I think accepting it is that, you know.
He said like for years he was like, I'm a so he's a solver and I know the thing was I was
watching it and I was thinking, I know that is what I would do.
that is what I would go, right, how do we do this? What needs doing so that this isn't happening anymore?
But instead, he kind of learns through this documentary,
I mean I don't want to kind of, but you know,
that it's about living this new life and adapting to it.
And they go and meet like, this guy goes and plays football with a deaf team and stuff,
because his son, I think also has gone on this journey where he didn't want to accept that he was deaf so
didn't want to do stuff like play for deaf football team or things that
marks him out in that way but it's great. That's good. Yeah it was on in September
I'm sure it'll still be on ITVX. Yeah I'm sure they will. Yeah John and Joe Joe Bishop Life After Death on my TVX. There you go.
There you go. Any recommendations, Michael? We've turned this into Rich and Judy's documentary club.
I've got a really good documentary about the Nike, Jordan endorsement deal.
Callwell. Call one money in his shoes. There we go.
So that you've just plugged your own documentary there. Go on the director's sexy as hell.
And what's it what's it called is actually your documentary what's it called Michael Properly? I misheard that. It's called one man in his shoes and I believe if there's any sales agents
or distributors out there the licensing period is about to come back again this year.
So get in touch. Unbelievable. John Bishop's son going on a journey discovering a new life after a diagnosis
of being deaf and now you're flugging your fucking licensing deal. You should be ashamed
to yourself. Oh seriously so. So where can you watch it? Where can you watch it? I think in this
country it's probably still on eye player. On eye player. One man in his shoes and yeah if you
want to pause it. Can you pause it? Oh, there we go.
Oh, there we go.
Should we do a couple of bit Correspondide before we go?
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
You got it up?
Should I read some out?
Yeah, guy, you do it for a fucking change.
What kind of correspondence do you want?
Kids saying the wrong things. Boomers! Let's do kids saying the wrong things. We've had a lot of booms, don't we? Yeah. Cute things your kid says. My five-year-old said to me when she was tired,
Mommy, I'm so tired I've got ball bags under my eyes. I didn't bother correcting her and she still says it. Sam, uh, Mama 3 from Essex. I'm very much excited about a night out at the O-2-in, to to to to to to th. Ticket still available for Wembley and Nottingham.
Wembley and Nottingham, tickets still available.
They're gonna be the best ones.
Yeah.
I love the part listening to mispronounce words from the kids.
My eldest to his 11 from the past few years has always called them,
quality treat.
That makes much more sense.
That makes that makes a a much more sense. A quality treat rather quality street. When I corrected
her she said it didn't make sense. She figured it was quality treats because they were in
fact quality treats. Yeah, where does the name quality street come from? I don't know.
Is it like a place? Yeah, well it is like a play. I think they've gone for like a folksy kind of name, haven't they? Or they're all made in a fake street. It was originally developed by Macintoshes of Yorkshire,
which founded their son Harold Macintosh,
developed Quality Street in the 1930s
to create an affordable, highly colored assortment of chocolates and sweets.
I might invent some sweets.
Yeah, go on. All right, Jamie Lang, calm down.
On that, I don't want to recommend another documentary, but I watched a lovely documentary
series on Channel 4 called The Secret Life of, in which they went through different industries
and the history of them, and one of them was on sweets.
And they're like, so it'll be like the history of crisps in the UK, and it's like all about
the fight between Walkers and Golden Wonder and stuff like that. Right.
And it is both nostalgia and fascinating because these people fucking hate each other.
The Burger King McDonald's Wimpy one is really good.
Wimpy's clinging on in there.
And they get like the person from Burger King to try Big Mac on to camera and they're
like, oh it's very dry. I really really. I. I. I. I the the the the the the the the th. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It, th. It, th. It, th. And, th. And, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi I really, I love it. I love the sort of insular nature of like when people are in their job or in their world
and there's no everything.
Totally.
So, the Macintosh is, they started up Quality Street, also did the Rollo, Caramac.
He was the King of the Toffee.
He was a King of the Toffee. Have they been absorbed into another company now? They merged with round trees.
Oh yeah, well this is, this is,
and then I've never been brought by Nestle.
And do you know what, the biggest thing to come out of that?
What would you say round trees, biggest sweeters?
Uh, wine gum?
Uh, the other?
Fruit thruly ones's the fruit gum Fruit hard ones. No, the sugary ones are the fruit.
Michael, Michael, come on.
Why's Michael got to do it?
Fruit pastels.
Yeah, okay.
I fucking nailed it to be fair.
Yeah, the voice over which is Joe Brandt and every interviewee.
They're called fruit pastels.
What do you think Joe Brand got bored and just...
I've had to be a little swaz on it?
Started riffing.
I'll ask her about it when she does one of our live shows.
So yeah, mashing tosh coffee is the biggest candy place in the world.
They were... And then his son basically brought out of the quality street.
Oh, there we go. Quality Street. Is it the Cabris Roses? Are they still a thing? The roses and the heroes and celebrations came out of the woodwork and they were very like second gen. Yeah. Do you
reckon the Rose, I think Cabrins has nicked the Quality Street idea. Can you still get
Cabrins roses? Yes you can. Every Christmas you know? Oh yeah you can. You can? Oh yeah you can. It was introducing 38 after Quality Street. It was launched by Mac was in 36. Oh, the roses!
Do you know in different countries?
They've got different flavors in different colors?
Oh my word, this is my kind of, this is my kind of podcast.
What was your favorite one?
My favorite quality street or favorite rose?
Favorite Rose?
I think we only had Quality Street and my favorite was the long, thin toffey finger. Of course it was. You've, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you th, th, thi, thi, thi, th, th, thi, thi, th, thi, th, th, th, th, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thiaaugh, thi, thi, thi thiaugh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi was the long, thin toffee finger. Of course it was. You've got like a post-war mouth haven't you?
I'd sit there and I'd think about the foundation of the NHS. It was lovely.
Just still only have one egg a week out of respect.
What's your favorite? Did you like when they brought the big ones out on their own?
Not really I found it too much, but I like the purple one, you know the purple, the
hazelnut, the nut in the middle.
So my dad used to love them, because we were Rose your Equality Street, obviously why
this podcast works.
Exactly. You're East Germany on West, um, I'm up, you're up to, um, the their up, um, um, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the, yeah, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, 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.. thus, the the thus, the, thus, the, the, the, the, what we used to do is I used to
most Christmas is I used to nick all of my dad's favorite ones and then plant
ones in there but with the wrappers and hide them to annoy him. Nice.
Classic. Very good. One more quick. My daughter Cecile has always said fast
backward for rewind. She's now nine and still says it,
we find it so cute we don't correct her.
That is another one where I think it's correct.
Josh mentioned that Lou could use Rob's back-shaving shenanigans
as unreasonable behavior for divorce.
A-Veigh the law changed last year,
and you can't blame the other person now,
from Louise, Lawyer in Newcastle.
So you can't blame the other person?
No, she's also asked for her details to be sent on to Lou.
Sorry, what's going on here?
So is a solicitor getting in such to represent Lou for a divorce?
Right, let's do a small business shout out.
Could you divorce me because I don't?
Because I asked her politely to shave my back hair. No she can't anymore you're in the clear.
Brilliant!
Fucking L! Yes!
That time!
She didn't ask for her details to be sent on to Lou.
I'll just... Oh you that was banter.
Yeah, cool.
