What? And they're due to

come? And they're due to, the glory days are due to come. I really struggle to get on board of street performance and I don't want to alienate. It's not my scene. I just feel like if it's entertaining enough, you'll have a roof. Do you know what I mean? It's like... I feel like if you're on the street you've tried to go inside and no one went in. So you've had to go back out again. Put your hat on the floor. Do you know, on that baggy tight rope. I don't, you know, each of their own. Each of the

own. Not for me though, Josh. Are you looking forward to Glastonbury? I'm a bit concerned. Are you nervous? We've had to move on. This is the most parenting hell thing ever. Why have we moved our set? We were supposed the set to Saturday lunchtime because I got confused. Is my daughter's sports day on the Friday of Blastinbury. Classic. Classic. So I'm going to kids sports day in the morning then me and Lou are driving down and we'll get there too late. I don't just be stressing then we can go watch Arctic Monkeys and then do our show. So what are you gonna go because guns are guns are... Can you talk me through like... Can you talk me through what a day say talk me through what if we're shadowing you?

Wake up. Wake up. What's five K-run? Around the site? Really? No, of course. I don't know what you canny folk do. I'm not a carnie folk. Um, so I go and watch bands.

Yeah. Normally at Glastonbury, it's debauchery. Right, okay, so it's like, so you and your little gang, the culture of that trip to Glastonbury is, get, go mad for it because it's a week, one weekend a year where you, anything goes and then you spend the week recovering the next week. Yeah, right. But I'm not doing that this year. Okay, so 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. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

But I'm not doing that this year. Okay, you're not. So what's your plan of action? Just enjoy the music, ma'am. Just enjoy the music, man.

My problem would be, though, if I'm doing what you're doing, is everyone else around me, if they're still doing that type of thing. Yes, I know. That is a worry. That is a worry. But I thii. I'll that that that that is a that is a that is a that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. their is a worry. that is a worry. that is a worry. that is a that is a that is a worry. that is a their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their'll be fine. I think I'll just go to bed after the headline or I don't think I'll go on to... I'm definitely doing that. Go to stay out after the headliners to go to that weird spider thing when there's fine and drug people. Fuck off. So me and you can go to bed together and everyone else can go and have fun. Yes. Well my issue, my worry about it is hell is other people. It's more mainstream than you think as a group of people. Yeah, no, in a way though, that's worse to a point because I, I don't, it's a lot of people there

and it's a lot of people where this is their massive blowout of the year, where that's the kind of get battered with mates and go mad. I'm trying to... I'm trying to... I'm trying to create a new calm and content all the time and it's always... It's never... Snap-roll, that's me. That's me. Yeah, but it's never... I'm living my eight out of ten ten te toe te the th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-I'm thi-I'm thi, thr-in, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.......

I'm my eight out of ten life every day rather than tens and ones. That's what I'm looking for.

So, but Glastonbury is a field full of people on 10. And that's amazing. Not just on 10. They're on a lot of other things as well. But they're all going to be on one next week. But I would quite like to be on eight at class. I'd like to be on Monday. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

It's like Tony Hadley doing an acoustic set and you're like, what the fuck is this? And they're going, actually good, he's got some great stuff, has he? I don't know what's Tony Hadley, I don't watch Tony Adley doing to see how Rob reacts to going to Glastonbury and I react to going to Glastonbury

sober. Well that's what I say about drinking isn't it? It's borrowing a happiness from tomorrow. Exactly. So what I'd say is the thing to get you through it I think will be good is one I'll tell people to tell people to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to the to to to 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 to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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. thr. the thr. the the the the the the tru. the the the true. too. too. too. I I was. toldlde. to be. totrying to get you drinking because people will. And I can be the in full self. Thanks, mate. And then because on top of that, I'll also recommend that whenever you have that, oh shall I, shall I not, just think about 10 a.m. Saturday morning when everyone else feels off. Exactly. And you are going to, you have it, you'll windaff coffee or decaf tea. You're gonna have a caffeine tea. I might not have a caffeine coffee mate because I'm fucking away for the weekend. That's your glass to bring. Why don't you just get have loads of coffee? Yeah. Just get off your face to three a. Just get on redball. Just get obsessed with that. That's always good.

A the addiction. Well, Let's not go into it Rob. Okay. No. I tell you a couple of things before we do Scott's intro that might be of interest. We got a taxi the other day somewhere, me, Lou and the kids and the kids were really excited because they was meeting their friends and was going on a day out. And they were screaming so much and she aren't in and we ended up playing the A to Z game of animals to try and kill time of like name an animal with an A and they are whatever yeah screaming and joke anyway the they got dropped off by the taxi and then I text the taxi guy oh sorry the kids were so loud right on the way yeah cool to imply and he I think what would you thrown the to the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they they they. they were they were they were they.

They're very sweet. Right, yeah, very sweet or, oh don't worry, they weren't that loud.

You know, I think you have a go, oh don't be silly, they're really sweet or they weren't that loud or really I didn't notice it, even if you did, right? The reply was, don't worry, I'm used to loud kids. Oh! Oh! Don't worry. I was like, okay, we're just all accepting that they're really loud. Okay, I was in denial. Josh, Scott Bennett, this is a really good interview, isn't it? But it's really good, quite different. We're going to get Scott back on to do more of a general chat about kids because he's absolutely hilarious, brilliant comic. But this is a long form anecdote that is unbelievable. Yes, about their daughter that

had medical complications at a very young age. So trigger warning to anyone, it doesn't really want to listen about young babies with medical issues and problems. There's a happy ending. It's all all very positive, which is very lucky and wonderful. But it's a journey, and it's quite a shocking journey. It's quite a shocking journey, but there is a happy ending. Scott tellain. It's very funny man. And we're going to get him back on for more of a general chit-shat because this is

such an interesting story. But we've got him on for this. 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 he he he he's he's he's he's he's he's he's on for this. He's also on tour and he's a really funny comedian. This is Scott Bennett. Welcome to the podcast Scott Bennett. Thank you very much, Scott. Thank you, thank you for having me.

When this came through and it said 9 a.m. I was like, what the fuck is wrong with these guys? Do you know what I genuinely thought that you two were in Australia? That was the only thing that made sense to me. I thought well they're in Australia, it'll be like 10 o'clock at night there. We're all rock and roll comics and they were like, no, it's genuinely we're going out before the end of GB news. Not GB news. A deal right is still discussing politics. This is the thing for anyone else but for parents nine o'clock is like no that makes complete sense. You've been up. Well yeah three hours. To be fair.

I don't know. Well, Ito bed he said don't know. Can I just say it's gone a bit lax this week? Right, right okay. We've sort of, it's drifted. Yeah it should be fair it's only Thursday. It's not like week four of the summer holidays. I know. Well the problem was is that they've started sleeping, my eldest tends to look after the youngest in a morning so she'll sort of get her breakfast for her because the eldest is 12 and we me and Jemma were laid next to each of the last last week it was like a Sunday and I was like my god it's like half ten and we could hear him downstairs and she was like oh this is brilliant this isn't it they're looking after each other I was like well it's not it's neglect it's bad parents it's just bad parents it's just bad parents in me 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 the they I I I I I their I 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 their their is is is is is is is their their is their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they they's their their their their their their their the. She can hear the eldest boiling pans. Yeah.

Boiling pans at 8 a.m. going for fuck's like two more hours until she's down for breakfast. Fully laid out table, livid. So what time do they go a bed at the moment? Don't panic. I'm not from the council. The youngest is, I know it does feel like I'm being judged now. I would say 10 for the youngest. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. to 10. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to say, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, to say, 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 a the a to. the a the a the a the a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. the youngest. Is that too late? Let's rain it back out of night. What like when you're filling in how much alcohol units you do with the doctor? Let's go for what's acceptable.

I'll put in the truth and acceptable. Yeah, what are the units for 15 p.m. their units for Friday and Saturday? How many units is that, dog? If you were a doctor, But it's Easter holidays. I think you can be let off and also you've got a 12 year old So it's very difficult to get the youngest to do what the eldest was doing when they were seven Yeah, and they sort of squirrel away and I put up I mean this is my life in a moment. I put up some LED lights in a bedroom. I? the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I put up. I put up. I put up. I put up. I put up. I put up. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put. I put up. I put up. I've. I've. I've. I've two. I've two. I've. I've. I've two. I've. I've two. I've. I've their the phone so what I've done is I've combined keeping her awake with a device so it's perfect parenting. So she has to turn her lights off with her

phone which is really good. That's excellent one. I think they say that don't there it's a good way to calm down before bed so you'd be in charge of a roadie for pink flies before you nod off. That's what I was doing the other day, was putting lights up in the bedroom. I don't know if you get this, Scott, but I get a slight lockdown flashbacks when the kids are off school. Definitely.

You know, like when they're off over Easter, and you're not on holiday, or you're not doing the NAN round. I think Jemma gets a bit annoyed with me because I'm one of those people that I feel like I need a plan for the day. I don't know if you guys are like that, but I feel like we have to have. You're talking to two guys that have organized to be doing something. We've got to get out at some point. Get on the bikes or just I just had the idea of I can see in the shed these bikes I got them just decaying. It's like you know you drive a car off the forecourt.

It's like those bikes are losing value on an hourly rate. Well I feel like that but it's hard to try and get them in the the't want to ride a bike in this. We get about two weeks a year where it's bike riding weather for kids really. Yeah. And I think Gemma always thinks I'm going through this checklist about to be what we do. It just, every meal just, and then, you know, can't go out now? It's evening meal time. And you do a podcast with your wife, Jemma. Where are you now though? It looks like you're in a garden shed.

Is this your own podcast booth, and you also do a podcast with Gemma that's filmed the house? You've got th you 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, you tho, you tho, you've tho, you've tho, you've tho, you're tho, you're tho, you tho, you're that that that thou, you tho, you're tho, can't tho, can't their their their, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, you th.

Can't thoua. Can't thate. Can't thate. Can't thate. you've got foam on the ceiling. Yeah so what happened was when I quit my job, my proper job, Gemma said, what was that? I was a product designer so I had like a career and everything. Oh yeah of course. Yeah and I should know that because you told us that when you did the live shows of us all right. Glad I made an impact. And so when I quit my job, Jemmer said, well, you'll need a place to write. So I came home from work the week I'd quit and this was in the garden. She'd add the shed putting. It's like a gift. It's like you've quit your job.

Oh, that's nice. Oh, that's nice. I mean, you say a gift. And now you can't work in the house that the Wi-Fi cuts out. Oh no! Oh no! Oh, man. So I've had the internet put in, I've had it all insulated.

And in lockdown, obviously, this is where I did most of the zoom gigs that we did. Yeah, of course. Yeah, theyre. got an oil oil heaters. Oil heater, yeah, mate, it feels apocalyptic, if I'm being honest. I feel like one of those people in America that, you know, live off roadkill and stuff like that. But yeah, we started doing a podcast after the lockdown. And then someone said to me the other day, which is an interesting and I've never considered, doing a podcast with your wife is great. You know what I mean you get you know opposing views, you get the truth regularly, you get honesty, but the problem is now

we're sort of in a contract to stay together. Yes, yeah I don't know I think people do some more if you were going through a messy divorce you met up every week to have a chat. Yeah I think so. I'll be surprised if someone does that they do a fake divorce. Yeah, do you thi thi thi thi thi th. I thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the. I the. I thi the. I'll theateateate. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. the. tho. the. the problem. the. the problem. th a fake divorce for listens. Do you imagine that week one who gets the kids little teaser trailer? Oh my word. Actually, it sounds quite bleak. And if it was a popular one, you know, people would probably go to, can you go to divorces? Is that like one of the core things that you're allowed to go? What's sitting and what you're going? I don't know. That I'll judge you Josh and then I'd be

texting you every five minutes go what's happened what does he want what was she getting has it going so yeah we do that but we found actually it sounds weird to say this but it does give us chance to chat properly it might only be like two hours a week but the kids are at school and you feel like you actually reconnect as a couple it's really weird it is weird it is weird and it's and it's and and it's and it's and it's th and it's th and it's th and it's 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 th th th th th th th th th th thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi that that that that that to that that that to to that that that that that that that that that that that that that that a week but the kids are at school and you feel like you actually reconnect as a couple. It's really weird, it is weird and it's quite nice actually. So what about holidays when you go on holiday do you still do the podcast or is that a break? Well we try and record in advance actually but we have it's really weird because I sort of said to Gemma our

our time together is really bizarre like the other day we went mattress shopping right and we'd made a point have you ever bought a new mattress recently? Um no I don't think I've ever bought a mattress what are you sleeping on? Have you never? Do you know what I've never bought a mattress? You must no I haven't. Well what are you sleeping on? I used to be in rented accommodation right oh so that would be furnished when I was in my 20s and my late teens. And then my first house... Thinking about that, that is sleeping on a mattress that's been through numbers of people. I did it as well, but looking back now, I know who needs must, but I mean, imagine what's happening in a hotel bed that.

I want it every night. Oh don't, I'm in hotels, don't talk about that. Yeah, I think worse things have happened on hotel beds than on student mattress. Maybe not. But could I just say the reason I've ever bought a mattress? Go on. I don't believe Rob's ever bought a mattress either. Yeah, me and Lou have. Because the first place I bought was with Rose and so

the throws ordered a mattresses. No, me and I've been to have to have to have the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I've th. I've th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoes. tho's tho's thatress. thoes. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've that's that's that's that's that's that. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoooooooo's thoes. tho's tho's th a shop to try mattresses to buy one together. Oh, you perves. That's what you do. Guess what's happened on those mattresses before wrong? What I would say is don't get memory foam you lose purchase. Well, you're, so you've done the thing of laying. That's the weird thing when you see other couples laying with the shoes on, on beds. Two'm sleeping really well. We've got a match. I should say you should get a mattress topper. That is an absolute game change. Have you got one of them? Yes, we've got one. It's

good stuff. Sorry Scott. Well, we were getting bad backs. So we just thought we need to sort the mattress out. But yeah, it was that weird moment, their their their their their to to to their to to get, their to get, you their to get, you to get, you to get, you their to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get a to get a to get to get you, you should to get a to get a matrus, you should to get a matrassassasset you should to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a to get a their their their their their their their their their their their to get a matrus. to get a matrus. to get a matrusus. tapu. tape, you're a matrusus. tapu. tape. tope. tope. tope. tope. I to get a matrususus. They say never go shopping when you're hungry. I think never do mattress shopping when you're tired. I will lay next to Gemma and we were so we're going like I could go now. Two o'clock in the afternoon in dreams just go. Yeah I think being a parent with young kids every mattress is fine. It's hard to judge it. Yeah this is the thing she was like, what do you think of this one? I was like, they're all great. We're laying down, we're on our own. It's all great. Can you just leave us? I just want 20 minutes in dreams on a Sunday afternoon. But I think this is one of my business plans that I'm never going to do is I don't want a hotel room, but sometimes I just want a bed for an hour you can find them in town. I'm so with you on that. It's when they kick you out of a hotel at like midday and you're just wandering like

a zombie. Yeah. I just want to lay down. Yeah, I think that's a comedian problem. I don't know. Most other people aren't killing five. No. But say you're meeting your friends for dinner, say you finish work at 5, and

you meet your friends for dinner at 7 and you think, I might just go for a lie down at Josh's mattress Emporium. Do you know rather, because what happens did you end up having three pints on your own? Yeah, exactly. Do you know once this was a low moment. I was hung over and I was to thaghipped thaged thaged to thaged to thagered once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once once, I was hung over and I was going to a Plymouth match and I misjudged how long it would take to get to Paddington and I was brutally hung over and I had an hour to kill at Paddington at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning and I paid five pounds for the shower so that I could just lie on the floor for 45 minutes.

What shower? That sounds like the bleakest you're in the fetal position. You know you can pay a fiver for a shower at Paddington. They've got showers. I didn't know that. Yeah, you can pay a fiver. And I was just like, I could just lie on the floor in private here. That is amazing. As I can imagine you just curled up with a little bottle of radox you have to bring into the illusion that he needed to show. Your mom hates it when you leave six half full glasses on your nightstand.

It's a good thing mom lives on the other side of the country. And it's an even better thing that you can get six IKEA 365 plus glasses for just $9.99. So go ahead. You can afford to hoard because IKEA is priced for student life. Shop everything you need for back to school at IKEA today. To new friends. I don't find them that pleasant to be around. I guarantee you won't want to leave. Speak no evil is filled with teeth clenching, seek clawing, suspense. Something's not right with him. I've always wanted to family like yours.

James McEvoy will scare you speechless. Oh! We're just sad to see you go. Speak no evil. Only in theaters now. Well, I've often thought there should be a cinema for tired parents. Where there's... That's just called the cinema. Yeah, exactly, but there's no film. The music starts. The lights go down. Everyone just puts eye masks on. Sleeps for three hours.

Comes out. I'm thinking about taking earbuds next time, but I think then it does become again a neglect thing where if you're a sleep with your their their kids are in the cinema with you, you're not really looking after them, are you? Yeah, yeah, no. You wake up and they've just like, and they're just eating pick and mix outside. Or you could handcuff yourself to them and then you're just there. What like? Like, they can't go. Like it's a fugitive. Yeah, I think that wouldn't do any long-lasting damage would it? No, no, anyway, I'm gonna hand-cuve myself to you.

Put my earphones in and I'll see you in two hours. When their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thine thigh thigh thighs. Like thighs. Like thighs. Like thighs. thighs.

Lou's done that before where you don't tie it to the actual sleeve. You put it on a big bit of a string that goes through the sleeves in the back. That's quite a good. Yeah. Oh, like this. Yeah.

It's very funny on that. But you told me the story about your daughter when she was born with a rare condition. And we drove, I think it was from Hexham back to sort of somewhere in the middle of nowhere, where you told me the story for about 50 minutes nonstop and it was, I I I I was......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thsold me thi I to to to to to to to to the story. to to to to told me told me told me told me told me told me the story told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story the story told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me. told me. told me. told me. told me. told me. told me. told me. the story. told me. told me. told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me told me the story. told me told me the story. told me like a sort of Netflix drama. But I wasn't in the car, so I'm looking forward to this. Yeah, Josh isn't aware of what went down. So do you mind telling us that story's called? Of course, yeah, there was a point I think where Rob's just going to put his earbads

in and go to sleep. There was a point where I think he was considering just opening the door. I had to roll it out. Can he just slow down to a walking pace mate? Out? Well, no, I was mesmerized by it's an amazing story. But yeah, Josh hasn't heard. He wasn't in the car. He was getting chauffeured by someone else. Oh, come on now. I thought I'd jump in with Scott. Do you know, Axel rose. Yeah, I mean, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was. to. to. to. to. I was. I was. to. I was. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. It. to. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. t to. t to. t to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to keep it light. It was it was interesting. I mean, the thing is, I think, obviously, we're all parents and no one really talks about when the kid is ill or something happens. It seems to be like one area of parenting that I think people sort of skirt around. So when Olivia was born, I think it was about 10 weeks in. She had like a fit, Gemma was with her, a mum's house and she, and she, and she, and she, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was with her mom's house and she had like that a fit and her lips went blue and she went limp and everything. She's obviously terrifying and Gemma rang an ambulance and they came and they did her blood sugar

Give her some adrenaline so it's like you know pulp fiction. It was literally yeah, yeah Yeah, adrenaline and her blood sugar was like 0. thrown. Which is ridiculously low. What should it be? It should be like 3.3 to 4. Because I'll be honest when you said 0.7 both me and Rob were thinking I've got literally nothing to compare this to. I don't know what the scale is Scott. But it's amazing how like you are now like a blood sugar level expert because of what your daughter went from. Not 0.7, bloody.

Years ago I would have been like, oh, bloody nightmare, mate, 0.7 frantically googling what it should or shouldn't be. Yeah. I'm glad you weren't the doxers. You'd have been like, yeah, 0.7, normal. I see next week. It's better than 0.6. That's what I've always said. I don't want to hit one, that's when it gets problematic. Do you want it too high? Is that too high? Is it going to go too high?

Well, the weird thing was, it's she'd been sleeping really well. So everyone was like, oh, you've got an amazing baby there. She sleeps through the night and we'll like, yeah. She's got no sugar in her brain, took her to hospital and they basically put us on a ward and no one really knew what was going on. So we were sort of sat there just going, I don't know what this is, both of us just really confused, sort of sitting there. But she's got a bit better. Were you scared at this point? We were shitting ourselves, yeah. I was working in the day job, so I came home. Jemma was in hospital. But it's like, it's not fear as not as th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they. th. th. th. their th. their th. th. th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. J. 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. We th. We just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just they. J. they. they. thi. they. the thi. the the the thi. the thi. the the thi.'s round, they're giving your presents, we've got all the bedroom done and they're all like, this is an amazing moment and then this sort of bomb goes off and you're like...

You didn't realize you meant to give your baby a crunchy every day, did you? Well, if I'd have known I'd have had aking up crunching, rubbing her in a gongs. And how old was she at this point of the score? Ten weeks. Fock me. Ten weeks and then obviously the paramedics came and gave her the insulin and then she was stable and fine, but you was at the hospital for check. Yes, we went into the hospital and then they sort of kept us in overnight and sent her back home. They said, oh, it's just just, their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, they said, oh, it's just temporary hypoglycemia. This happens with children as their bodies grow, that it's just that a body's adjusting

and it's just something we see it quite often. And so we were like, okay, right, well, we've shit ourselves, but let's just go home. So we went home and about three, four days later, it happened again. to their I think even with other people is you, you know something's wrong but you don't want to go to hospital because you don't know have it confirmed. Do you get what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd rather live in the denial of it than the reality. It's like when you're googling for the illness and basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, basically, the the the the the the the the the the to, the the the the to, to, the the the the the to, the the the to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, 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 their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their,'s the good news and then you go that's the right one. Yeah that's the right one. I'll ignore all the others that tell me. Yeah that lump might be

muscle definition actually. Yeah probably. Been at the gym a lot. Yeah you're praying that it's a knot in your sweater that's what it is. Just a knot in my sweater. That's all that is. So they took us into hospital and the hospital and they took us they took us the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tooke. I's their tooke. I their tooke. I'm their their tooked. I 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 their they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they they they they tu tu tu tu they they tu they they they they they they they their their their their their their load of tests on her, so I remember them taking her away to do this spinal test and I was like, I don't know what they're doing. This is just awful, this is awful, awful. And they still didn't know what it was. So their idea to keep her blood sugar up was to basically force feeder. So Jemma was about to try and keep a sugar up and what would happen is that feed her till she puked basically.

Oh my God. It was awful and then they kept testing her sugar, they kept pricking a heel, so the poor kid was being forced and having a heel stabbed everything. It was like some sort of evil spa weekend. Do you know what I mean? bizarre purging, like, being overfed and have your heel pricked. How often were they pricking a heel then? I think it was like every hour at one point. So she had little holes in a heel.

So then they said, we don't really know what it is. So they were keep feeding it. We were in there for like establish and do tests, they were doing blood tests. So this was August 2020? 2010. Oh, sorry. Yeah, 20.

So, yeah, so, 2010. And then they were like, we don't really know what it is. And so they kept us in, and then they brought in like a specialist, because I think what happened was, because I thin't, I th, I th, I th, I that are going to do and but there was a point where I was like they tried sending his home again with a machine to feed us we have this like machine set up in a bedroom that was feeding her and all this sort of stuff and they were sort of letting us deal with it and I remember going into the doctor and I even put on a really cheap cheap suit from Burton's to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be.. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I their. I their. their. their. I'm their. their. their. I'm their. I their. I their. I their. I. I. I. I. I. I. I their. I. I. I their their. I their their their their th. I'm try. try. try. try. try. I try. I try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try.to be like, this will make the difference. They'll treat me differently if I wear a suit, you know what I mean? I remember that's come through from my dad that if you want anything doing, wear a tie.

Do you know what I mean? Going into Curry's trying to get a discount because he's got a tie on. Okay. We're in the tie mate. So I went in there and I said, look, this needs to, you know, we can't be sent home again. I don't know what you're doing, but I just feel like, you know, you're putting my daughter's life at risk here with low blood sugar. There could be all sorts of complications we don't even know about that have already happened because you keep trying to send us home. And they brought in this specialist specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist this specialist, I, I, I, I, I, I, this specialist, this specialist, this specialist, this specialist, this specialist, this, woman who was a dietitian and she says I think I know what this is. This is like a rare genetic disorder called hyper-insulinism. And we never

heard of this but it's basically the opposite of diabetes. Right. So with diabetes obviously the sugars just rocket and they have to have insulin. What Olivia had was their sugars would plummet so she had too much insulin. So her pancreas was just pumping insulin constantly into her body right so no matter what they did with the feeding because it was so funny when the expert came in they were like none of this will make any difference oh really yeah we were like oh my god because they thought it was transient and it might change because we were

looking at these figures every time a sugar went to two we were like oh yes this is how obsessed we got with it oh oh oh oh oh oh the they. they. they. they. they. they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. I I I th. th. Oh I th. I was th. th. Oh. th. 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.

I'm th. th. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. th. th. I'm they 2 we were like, oh yes, this is how obsessed we got with it. It was like Edinburgh reviews, do you know what I mean? I'm reading and going, she's got a 2.3, come on. Oh, we've got the guardian in on Wednesday. We're going for a 4. And you've been doing that for like two, three weeks and it was pointless. Yeah because it was something that was chronically wrong. 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 was chronically that was chronically that was chronically that was chronically that was chronically that was chronically that was chronically that was chronically. that was chronically that was chronically wrong in a genes. Yeah, yeah. And what's it called? Hyper-insulinism, CHI it is. And then they said, oh, it's one in like 300,000 this is.

This is really rare. But there's a spike in Nottingham. I don't know why this is. There seems to be a lot of children in our area who've got it. Have you been shagging around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around around a the the the the the the the the thininin' thin' to thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' th.

I'm thi. I'mthink, I'd love to say so. I mean, Josh, you have asked me that question and are you looking at a man in a shed. So I would say, I would hazard the guess that probably not. It might be Jemmer. It's not on my side of the genes, that's for sure. But so they said, oh yeah, it's a rare gen. And so basically, they, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's a it's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a they. It's a their. It's a rare, it's a that's a that's a that. It's a that.

Oh really? This gene. Yeah so and what should normally happen? Oh so suddenly my jokes looking a bit

more a bit more accurate Scott if this came from well it's gone through the generations so they were like over the years they were saying like it might be like you know cot death was a bit like when children wouldn't wake up like looking back through my family history, there may have been instances of that that were related not to cot death but to low blood sugar. Right, and it just got written off. And it got written off. And they said, oh, what should normally happen?

Is it should normally the gene should override. It should have been demaned. They should have been dominant? It should have been cancelled out for whatever reason in the genetics. It should be just still dormant. He should have been dormant, that's it. But for some reason, Gemma's genes didn't silence it and it became prevalent in Olivia. And so it's really... So it's Jemmer's fault, is that what I think it is? You know what I mean? I don't take the bin out once and she gives me a child with low blood sugar. That is...

That is brutal, isn't it? You know what I mean? Just because I can't stack a dishwasher? Seriously, did you feel like any guilt? Even though you had no control over it, but if you've been told that, I'd just like, honestly, there was moments while I was just like... Which is ridiculous because you can't help it, it's the genes you're gene? They gave us gene therapy. We had like, as part of the thing we had like this gene therapy and they were like,

because we were like, this affects everything going forward. More children, do you know, more children. Do you know what this is, do you know, having family, you need to know what this is because this is a nightmare you could be opening yourself up to. This is a bloody nightmare. That's the big of a thunder statement. I'm having a bloody nightmare, eh? My child's been in hospital for two weeks. Imagine. So when you're finding this, how long have you been in the hospital? We was in the we were trying to feed it and so still they brought in this expert and she was like, this is genetic, this. So they basically brought in someone, contacted Manchester Children's Hospital, I didn't know this at all, is a specialist center in CHI. So they'd put money into rare genetic disorders and this was one of them. And we didn't realize what we're getting

into because it's one of the highest risk ones. Like literally kids can drop dead. They can have brain damage, they can be blind. So how come Manchester have done that? I think it was a government initiative when they were like this is becoming a like there was lots of children presenting with this like from mid-2000s, and no one knew what it was. So they brought in this expert and she was like, yeah, it's congenital and what we need to do is we need to get Olivia scanned to find out. So there was two types. And by this time, by the way,

we'd been in QMC for about six, seven weeks on this holding pattern. Just feeding a heel, pricicking a heel, feeding, pricking a heel. And we were giving, we're having to give a medication because she was getting reflux, the poor kid. So she was getting all this reflux. She's like a dad, like, I can't survive without a rendee now, so that's hered now, so that's heredery. And are you picking her up at this hospital? She's in the bed all the time.

after you and Jemmer just get on with what you're doing and me and Jemma like look teaching and were like, there's no way we're leaving this hospital. One of us is going to be here all the time so the whole day was basically I'd go to work, Jemma would sit by a bed holding a hand through the the bars and we'd put like a mobile above a cot and stuff and then I would come back in after a full day's work and grab a ready meal, we'd swap and then I'd sit on the Z bed, watch I'm a celebrity. Have a little ready meal and then hold her hand for the car. And we slept there like for seven weeks, eight weeks in the hospital. Fuck on auror.

Listen into like the beeps and the machines that was like sending you to sleep on a night because they were like go home and I don't th I don't I don first kids yeah and I'm like I'm not going over it was your second fuck it yeah if it was a second third ring me in two moms if it was a second mate I'd have left him in the reception at A&E I had a gone I wouldn't even stop the car but it's like that moment where you go like you know I'm gonna stay with this kid and so we sort of we slept they the the the th the th th th th th th th th th th. th. th. to th. to th. I to to to to th. I th. I'm gonna to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to th. I the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeat. theeat. theeeat. theeeat. theeeeat. thee. theee. their the. their to stay with this kid. And so we sort of, we slept there pretty much. We lived in the hospital and it got to the point where we were doing the heel pricks and all that. Fucking out. We were, I had a machine that we were doing all, and I was writing him in a book and then we were giving her a reflux meds and all this lot. It was really surreal, that we actually became institutionalized. And I remember arriving after work and from the road in Nottingham, you can see QMC

and you can see the kids' children's ward. And Chemmers' mom had bought her, you know, in those boo-boo seats they can sit up in babies. Yeah. That molded seats, spongy seats. And I remember I knew, because I could see her in the window. So it was like a weird advent calendar. So as I came into the car park, she was in the window waiting for me. Just sat there like that, just looking out out the window in a boo-boo seat. Just like a little Yoda, just our little Budger.

And yeah, we did seven, you tipin. And one day I remember, they said, you've got to get out thethe hospital and we and Jemma walked to a Nando's which was like on a retail park. It was the saddest thing ever and walked to this Nando's and we sort of sat there and eating chicken and we couldn't, we had to go out, we were like, nah, this is not normal. Can't just sit here. What we're going to talkto go for this scan because there's two types and I'll try and not bore you with this there's like two versions of this disease it's in the pancreas but one which is diffuse which means the whole pancreas is defective right so the whole pancreas is

pumping out insulin that one is incurable right so that what would that mean that would th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they they they they would mean to be they would mean to they would mean to to be to to be to to be to be to have to have to have to have to have to be to be to be to have to have to have to have to have to have. to be. to be. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the the the the the the the the the the the to be. to be. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. try. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to So that would that mean? That would mean a lifetime of medication for your kid or it would mean that she'd have to have a pancreatomy so it'd have to have it removed and she'd be diabetic for the rest of the life. So that one is a pretty much like a worst case scenario. The other one is focal, which means it's like a little lesion in the pancreas, like a little tumor basically. And they said depending on where where where where where where where where where where where their their their their their their their their their their their their the pancreas like a little tumor basically and they said depending on where that is they can operate right depending on where it is and oh I've just remembered something I remember to tell you as well is when we were about to go to Manchester they were having to give her this medication because it was affecting her kidney function these drugs she was on and I remember

the doctor sat us down one day and he says, oh we're going to have to give you this extra medication because it's affecting a kidney function. And he was like, there is a few side effects. And I remember we sat in this office. I was like, oh God, what's it going to be? I was like, you know, is it going to affect her? He says went yeah and she's gonna get hairy. When a doctor says she kids gonna get hairy and she was like a little ewock mate. It was like a little fur baby I didn't know where the front was. Like having a coconut in the bed. Where's her mouth gone and it went from her hair all the way into her eyebrows like it was just everywhere she had hair on her cheeks and everything really yeah I remember because we couldn't go anywhere sorry to jump back and fall you can't shave a baby can you?

Shave her babe not in public. So I basically all our day because we couldn't go out either we were just in this hospital and she had one of those little things she could sit in, you know those like bumble things you pull your kid around in. And all I did was just pull around a ward. This was my life for seven weeks dragging a hairy baby around a ward. It was amazing. You don't expect the doctor to say hairy, it was just like, wow. She won best in show at Crofts though that year though, didn't she? Perfectly groomed.

Also, like, the first question is how hairy. Are we gonna have to plat it? Or is it just a covering? Also, I think you've got those in the wrong order. I think the priority wise, dehydrated isn't the headline. Do you know what I mean, you have you have you're you have they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're the they're the they're the their they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their their their their their their their. How the first. How the first. Are the first. Are the first. Are the first. Are the first. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are. Are.

Are the the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. tho. the tho. thoes. thoes. the the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the first. the You know, where are we talking on the scale? I mean, are we going from me at 14 with a little top lip, or we're going Bill Oddy? Where are we on the hair scale? So they said, right, you're going to have to go for this scap.

Because we're in this holding pattern. We were putting pissed off. Because it's not doing anything, it's just keeping it. We're pricking this kid's heel every single day, we're not sleeping. We were both falling apart. Jemmer drove the car into a wall. I've remembered that. But that's... Yeah, yeah. No good. Because we were both just a shell.

weighs. the shell. I have my cheekbones back, I looked beautiful. I was a shell of a man and broken, but I was a 32 waist. Who's that fit guy with the hairy child walking past me in the park? It was a thick guy with the dark eyes, the hairy child and the thousand yard stare. He was gorgeous. And the other thing as well is because yeah we were like this is something's got to be done here so we put pressure on them and they contacted Manchester and Manchester was like right we've got a bed for you at Manchester Children's Hospital we're going to get you scanned we're going to find out what is this is diffusion or focal and then was the next big moment that when the scan is in Berlin. the scan is in the scan is in the scan is in the scan is in the the the scan is in the the the the the the scan is in the the the scan is in the the the the scan is in the the scan is in the scan is in the the scan is in the the the to to the scan is in the the to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. te. te. te. te. te. te. their. their. their. th. th is diffuse or focal and then was the next big moment that when

the scan is in Berlin. What? Yeah. Who's doing it David Bowie? What's going on the hair like? It's just an eccentric guy in a shed called Clout. They said we're going to do this scanning Billy. There's only two machines in the world, right? Blymey. And they said, Berlin or Philadelphia. And I was like, Philadelphia would be great. Yeah, I love Rocky. And they were like, this is the NHS mate. You're going Berlin.

Berlin's, I mean, I've been to Berlin, had a fantastic time, Scott, but I imagine me a very different experience. Yeah, well, here's the really really reallything though, is that Jem is fluent in German. She's a language teacher. So I felt we had an in in Berlin. Yeah, that's good. We were treated differently because Jemma just went in, just like spoke to her. Right, yeah.

Chattered, and I was confused. I look German, but I can't. Oh, God, you must must have you must have you must have Plus it was before the fall of the wall, wasn't it? So he actually had to get into East Germany just to... We had to get David Hassledoff to smuggle this hairy baby in his leather jacket. How quickly after they told you Berlin did you google the Johan word for focal and diffuse? Well, the really weird thing was is they said to us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us us the the the the the their they said they said they said right we're gonna fly you out it's on a private jet. Oh this the thing that blew my mind. On a Lear jet like a little propeller jet so we can we went to

Manchester and I didn't know this in the airport there's a separate bit and it's like a private airport Manchester there's like a private airport. I've that the ta'n. the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. It's their. It's their. It's their. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's liked. It's like. It's like. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. 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 like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a the. It's like a private. It's like a private. It's like a private there's like a big... I've never got a private chat, but I've heard that. It's like a shakes fly from there and as we pulled in on the tarmac was the WWE plane because it was a big thing at the arena that weekend. So we're sat in this lounge, Triple H just walks past and past. No. Who's the hairy baby? Bring her along? You know what I mean? It was like triple H. Walk past and everything. And I was like, this is surreal. So we're sat there in this lounge, this sky lounge. And at this point, you still really worried? Are you kind of reassured? No, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. But I mean, a fact the kid. Oh, it's like a reassurance by this point. was I think we were in August we went in, if I can get these dates right, sort of

October that was, so August, September, October, three months down the line and we were like, we knew, me and Gemma knew this was the moment. When we come back, when we come back, wea from Berlin, we were either, one of us is going to give up our job to be a full-time career, right? Oh my God. So this is like the moment, the moment, th, th, th, th. th, th. th. th. th. thi is like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. that is like, that is like, that is like, thi. 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. So. So, that's, that's. So. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho. th. th. th. tho. th. th. tho. th. th. th. th. where we're like, when we come back our lives are either going to continue or they're going to change forever. And that is a weird moment when you sat there trying to enjoy champagne. Get your selfie with the rock. Why was it a private jet? Because of the equipment you needed to transport her because she couldn't be a little... Because you had to canula in we had all this stuff with us and

is it is on the NHS this is on the NHS which is no wonder they're in fucking financial trouble the flying you out on a private job I feel guilt about that mate every minute of the day junior doctors aren't being paid enough and you're sipping champagne with the fucking WWE the mad thing was as I looked out the window I thought there's some some pension pension pension pension pension pension pension the the the the the 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 I the th I th I th I was thin the thigh the the thi thi. the thigh I was the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the the 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 thin I was thin I was thin thin thin th thi thi thi thigh thi thi thi thi. th. th. th. th. thi. th. I was th. I was th. I was the the thi. I was the, as I looked out the window, I thought, there's some pensioner down there who can't have a hip because of me, as it was flying over. The pilot handed us like a platter that had been in there and there was like fruit, quassons. So we were like, in one respect, so basically we were sat there and it's a real juxtaposition because I'm sat in a private jet eating a quasson and the kids next to next to you on a machine with a doctor, and you're going like, this is

such a confusing thing. And remember we got there and they said, right, you're going to this hospital and it is the bit that I didn't quite realize is in Germany, the hospital's a different game. It's far more strict in terms of like in the UK, families around bedside, they let like 50 people go around your bedside. You sat there, you're having a barbecue. Yeah. Do you know me?

You're bringing booze in. I mean, when we were in hospital for a long time, my mom used to bring in those little boxes of red wine. Oh really? in you know that were meant for medication and on a night I'd be on the wine watching I'm a ceilab. I mean little sneaky wine in the disabled toilet but yeah so they said to us right you can you can come in they said to Jemmy you can can be in the hospital at first they didn't want any of us in they were like you go you go to the hotel and we'll look after and Jem as sort of persuaded 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 the to to the the the the the their and Jem so to to to to to to to to their and Jem and Jem and Jemn. and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jem and Jemn. and Jemn. and Jemn. and Jemn. and Jemn. and Jemn. and Jemn. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to the to the to the the to the to the the the the the to. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. And. I. And. And. And. And. I can't leave I can't leave and so they let Jemmer stay but then I I had to go and he's a really weird thing was they put me up in something called the Ronald McDonald's house you know

where it is right yes it's connected to McDonald's so McDonald's financed a kind of thing for parents it's a thing for parents whose children are ill and And I never knew this existed. Yeah, my sister, my nephew had leukemia and my sister got up in one of them in Bristol. Yeah, it wasn't called the Ronald McDonald house. Yeah, I think it was the foundation, but it was, because when they said to as I got there, they went, you were staying in the Ronald McDonald's house. I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and, and, and, and, and th, and th. th. th. th. thi, thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, th. th. th. thi, th. And, and th. Well, and th. Well, and th. Well, and th. Well, and th. Well, and th. Well, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. thereere. thereereeree. th. thereereeree. th. th. th. thereereeree. th. th. th. th. Yeah, the to us, I got there, they went, you staying in the Ronald McDonald's house, I was like, you're having a laugh here in the private jet and now I'm meeting Ronald McDonald. This is like Disneyland on a budget, this, I love it. But this is the ironic thing, considering that my child had the opposite of diabetes,

who would have thought McDonald's have stepped in. So that's a really a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird a weird th. th. th. th. th. th. th. That's a weird, thi. That's a weird th. thi. That's a weird th. th. th. It's a weird th. It's, th. It's, thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It, th. It's, th. It's, thi. It's, thi.

It was all bright red and yellow as you would expect. It was really bizarre in this weird room. And then Gemma was in the hospital and Gemma said to me, it was so funny because Gemma at the time, she needed some painkillers did Olivia. I think she could tell that all this heel pricking and stuff after a while, it was just just, it was just, it was just, it was just, she, she, she, thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. that, th. that, th. that, th. th. th. th.

her like a little string of cowpol like no that goes up the bump I think I think you into the wrong bit of Berlin. I mean or the right bit depending on what you're into. I've never seen a leather hospital but... So then I remember going back there and we had like one day where we were sort of just waiting and then they were trying to get us amongst all this they threw this one in and said oh your daughter might struggle with speech. This is what they tell you at the hospital because she's had no oral stimulation because she's not been breastfed she hasn't they they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. They th. They th. They th. They th. th. th. They th. th. th. th. 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. the th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. the. the. the. their. the. Oh my God. This is what they tell you at the hospital. Because she's had no oral stimulation because she's not been breastfed. She hasn't used a bottle. She's not been speaking. And we were like, right, okay.

So we went out for a meal and we were sort of sat next to us with this NGU-Tubin in her nose and stuff and everyone, like someone asked us what was wrong, which I think is a weird question, isn't it? Yeah. Stranger, like what's wrong? Yeah. So Jemma was like giving her gravy off her finger and stuff and she was starting to eat it. And we were like, oh, maybe it's not going to be as problematic as we think. So the day after we went for this scan and I'll, we're near It's astonishing. We went to for this scam. And that was the moment, I think both of us, I think a lot of emotion come out because they were like, they took her off us and we haven't really been apart from her. Yeah. And they took us off as and they put this dopamine into a system.

And we saw her go into this machine. Machine and I think that was the point where we were like Oh This is the worst part and then we had to just wait and we were meant to get the results for two weeks Right which would have been agony But oh my god who was scanning her the doctor. I think he took a bit of a shine to us. I think it was again the language barrier because Gemma could speak German. I think there's a little bit of a yeah, where they're not they as in loud English. There's actually a... What is the result? Yeah, yeah. Diffuse or vocal, tell me now. And what happened was we were sort of sitting there and we sort of thank the doctor and he had like the folder and he sort of opened the side of the folder. Instantly. He had the printout. And he sort of slid it towards to to to towards to to to the to to to the to the to to of the folder. Instantly. He had the printout and he sort of slid it towards

us and he went, it's focal. And then he said it's in the tail which means it's you can operate. Oh my God. And like we were just sort of sat there just going holy shit so we know now this can end. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like a moment where we were like, oh my now this can end. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like a moment where we were like, oh my God, this is unbelievable. And we were like, are you 100% sure? Is that her scam? Yeah, yeah. So did you jump in with English before Jever couldn't say that in German?

Would she was translating? Don't fuck me about, I had him up by the color, mate. I have have the the the the their the co have the co have the co have the co' the co' th. I had him up th.

If you have shit in me here, we are. You know what I mean? And Gemma was like, no, he was like, no, I genuinely is. So we're going to send these results back to Manchester. And we thought, right, we're going to be in another holding pattern. They did the their their their th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I. I. I have th th th. I have th.

They did not piss about, they were like, this was November and they said right, December the 14th, she's been operated on. Wow, brilliant. Then we were like, wow, so we were like, this was bonkets. Did they're private jet you back? Yeah. They didn't go, it's only focal, get on a fucking Ryanair now. Get on a ferry, mate. You know, like when you go into J.D. Sports and they bring you up on an elevator, but you've got to go out on the stairs. But you've bought your trainers.

Piss off now, mate. Yeah. 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.

Must be Legal Draking Age. Then this was the mad thing. They introduced us to the surgeon and these surgeons, mate, I met this guy, they're special, they're not human beings. I don't understand how they, I think they're on the psychopathy spectrum, these people because you have to be, you can't have the emotion, you can't go into an operating theater going, oh my god, this is someone's child.

Well the mad thing is as well is it said as soon as we do this up she come off all the meds it'll all come off. Wow. You won't need anything the hair fall off. She'll molt. How quickly did you ask about the hair? Straightway. Will I need a decent Dyson? That's what I said it's one the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. the. the. th. the. theathea. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It's is is thing And so basically he said it's one of the few operations that's curative, which is... And we were like, because we'd been, we'd been to like this gathering in the hospital of people with CHI, there's a whole found, and it freaked us out. We used to keep in touch with them. I still do charity stuff for him, give them money. But I couldn't, we were in one room and me and Gemma was like, this is too hard because there was people, there was kids there with epilepsy, learning difficulties. It was like, we realized in that moment we were definitely the luckiest.

Because like Olivia was showing no signs of anything. And we were like, like Jesus we've really got away with this and like some of these kids have been left for like a year without anything just never you know some of these kids are presented when they were seven which is insane imagine that seven years old you start fainting and you go like it's it's unbelievable so so yeah they said to us right we're gonna do the op and I remember December the 14th who went down for the op and this surgeon was so cool I I th I I I I I I I I I I I I I th I th I th I th I th I th I the th I the th the th th the th th the th th. the the th. the the the th. the th. th. the th. they're they're th. th. 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 they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're the th th th. thi thi the the tho. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. they're tho. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they do the op and I remember December the 14th who went down for the op and this surgeon was so cool I think Jemmer fell in love with him a bit. I think there's like a, of course, of course there's like a god complex in there he was like Scottish. Yeah. I remember standing in the lift with him afterwards and he was like in Kashmir and I was sort of like stood there thanks mate, nice man. Because it's a miracle, isn't it, that they know, inside the body discovered this and can do that and everything's back to normal.

And then the mad thing was, they said to us, when they operated, because there was some dark periods, I won't lie, when they'd done the operation, we were on intensive care and that is not to bring the mood down, but that is a game changer. That's a world you don't see, I think. And we were on intensive care. She had all tubes in her everywhere. And she'd had this really serious up. They'd had to go in through her tummy, oh mate don't say things like that yeah don't it hiding making a sound like we're off to the butchers or some I'm just gonna move the spleen to the left and then I'll deal with that I remember him I remember him saying now we've done the operation he said you watch her they had a a machine to tak her she had a cann a the the the the the the the they. to to to to to to they. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. I I I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to they. 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 the the the the they. I I I I I I I I they. I they. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I was. I was. She had a canular in. And so we weren't pricking a heel

because she's in intensive care. And he was saying, I was sat on a chair, no bed, so I was sleeping in this chair. Was you watching the operation? And no, after the op, when she was recovering, they said, you just watch now as a sugar increases. Gladier. And I was like, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, th. th. th. I was like, thi. I was like, thi. thi. thi. I was like, thi, thi, thi, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was like, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, that. I was, th. I was like, watch and the first reading came in and it was like free and it was like 3.1, 3.2 and it's like a pancreas is starting to work properly. Alive like in front of you and you're like, this is mental. And then he said, like, soccer

Saturday, yeah, the scores come up. They've gone five on up. Wic him at home. Do you know what I mean? And then, then he said to me this this this th. This th. This th. This th. This th. th. T th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It was was was was was was was was was th. It was was was was th. It was, th. It was was, th. It was, th. It was, th. It was th. It was th. It was the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It was th. that. Wick him at home. Do you know what I mean? And then he said to me, this bent my head, he says, Here's what's going to be weird. We're going to give her insulin in a minute. It's like, you are joking there. And he was like, he's what's weird. He's like, here's what's weird. He said, so she got to like 15 16 sugar.

Make it up for last time. So then they gave her insulin and it brought it down and basically the next week was just letting her pancreas settle and take over. There was some moments in there where you sort of realize as well what you're actually amongst because I remember we were in that hospital and it is a really weird thing. We had such surreal experiences because there was days where you'd be in that hospital, in that's just children's hospital on the ward and like a family would come in and they'd draw the curtains round and then the family would slowly walk out and you realize what had happened that the kid had passed away. You sort of you realize how close you are.

Yeah. And then the bed's empty and and like there's moments like oh God. And staying amongst that sometimes in your head you're like oh my God this is we all look out the window and everyone's getting on with the lives do I mean there's buses going past people are going to work and you go but in here it it it it it it it it it it it it it 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 the their it's their it's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. Oh. Oh. Oh. You're their. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. their. their. their. their. their. the window and everyone's getting on with the lives, do you know what I mean? There's buses going past, people are going to work, and you go but in here it's everything's a mess. You know, it's all, everything can change in minutes and I think you forget how close you are to that sometimes. Of course. But then is one thing I forgot to mention because we spent Christmas in there after the op, we're in there for Christmas day on boxing.. this was so surreal, we're in the hospital, we're back on the ward, both recovering, my mom and dad had been and brought us like a buffet in Tupperwest. We're still on the wine.

I had a drink problem by that point. Putting the white straight back on. Oh no, I was looking good still. Yeah, but a bit red. I had a lot of Christmas waiting. We couldn't do any Christmas shopping. We had to do presents from like B&M in Rush Home in Manchester. That's where the hospital is. Oh yeah, Corrie Mou. Yeah. Good old rush home. And we sat there and then the nurse said, oh today, the Manchester United team are coming round. No. And we were like, really? Like, yeah, yeah, so would you like to meet Wayne Rooney and like,

all the team? We were like, not really? Yeah. Are you a manned the team? No, don't really like the football. But you know, it's Wayne Roast and watching see Beebbies. Wayne Rooney, nice change. Or so? When you hammered, why not? Yeah, yeah.

I just said, just keep him away from the, you know, geriatric ward, that's what. So who did you meet? Who did you meet? Did they come round? So they came round. So it was Wayne Rooney. It was, oh, God, I've tha, I I I I I I I've tha, I've tha, I've tha, I've tha, I've tha, I've tha, I've tha, I've thu. thu. thu. thu. thi, I've thu. thu. thu. th. th. that. thi, that. 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. Just, I, just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, just, just, just, I just, just to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to theea. thea. thea. Just, just, just I should have brought the book in. But who else were they? Oh, there was Darren Fletcher. I think Darren Fletcher. Yeah. He had crones as well. He had a chronic crones and still played football. Yeah. This was before that. Yeah. I didn't say to him, you'll be in here in six months.

There was a goalkeeper. Oh, what's the goalkeeper? Van der Sarr. So like four of th. th. th. th. th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. So like four of them came round and we were sort of sat there and it was just so surreal. He sort of sat in bed in that, Wayne Rooney and that. And like they brought a toy for with a Manchester United's t-shirt on and then he sort of like Gemma was like, she didn't know what to say neither of us thi ththe ne ne ne ne Christmas? And I was like, oh, come on, Jem, that's a terrible question. I remember he went, yeah, he likes the lights. And that was it, that was the whole interaction. He likes the lights.

Does he kid like Christmas? And yeah, so they signed stuff. So we've got the book. Can I just ask a quick question on that on When Wayne met your daughter was that pre-ob post his hair transplant? Did he steal some of her medication? Yeah no that was before the transplant. I bagged it up for him I goes here you go Wayne. Get a bit of a trick stick on there mate. That's proper that's ten-week-old child soft hair. That's soft hair. Very soft.

Very soft. And we kept a journal of it all because like... I definitely think you need to write a book about this or a drama or something that's got. It needs to go somewhere. Yeah, and she switched on the Christmas lights, did the little one when we were at Manchester with a load of other little kids. It was really weird. And then, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. thi, that's, that's, thi, that's, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so th. So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. We th. We th. We th. We th. We th. th. th. th. We that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, thi. We the. And then yeah we get to January we have Christmas in the hospital which was really surreal and then they get to January and they got I remember January

the first to just went right you can go. And she was all just all everything back to normal back to normal and then by that point she was drinking out of a Tommy tipy cup so they straight away she was on it so those fears fears.. the fears. the fears. the fears. the fears. the f f f f f f f. their. th. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they were th. thi. they were thi. they were they were th. they were they were they were they were to they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. they were. their. their. their. their. their. their.

A scar was there and we sort of left the hospital and I remember just sort of driving back and it was that really cold winter. Do you know when it was like minus 13? Do you remember that? Was that beast from the east? It was everything froze. And like we got home and Jemmers' dad had said to us, oh I didn't tell you this, but while you were away I went in the house and your boiler had packed up. Oh no. He said it had frozen and like there was ice on the inside of the windows but he'd had a boiler

put in for the first week of January. Amazing. And it was just like, I remember just sitting there just like shell shocked. Do you know like going, holy shit, this is... What the fuck was that? Yeah, what was that? Because that was six months? It was six months? It was six months? It was six months? It was that was six months? It was six months? It was six months? It was six months?

August, September, November, January, February. Yeah, it was five, six months. And then was everything normal? Yeah, so this was a really weird thing, is that we had like these follow-up appointments where they were doing all sorts of stuff, and we were really nervy parents, understandably,

for the like first six, three months, every time she coughed or shit herself, we were in A&E. I'm like that. I didn't even have your excuse. Yeah, we were melodic, mate. We were completely like, every time she had like a thing, we were like straight down to the walking center. And we used it as a pass, we were like, we went to Berlin, she was on a private jet. Yeah, suit on. By then the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight was the weight the weight the weight was the weight was th.

We were the. We were the. We were the. We were th. We were risk, you know what I mean? We were skating. Suit on, a tie on. By then the weight was coming back, cheekbones had gone. Just a fat man in a soup crying. What was really interesting though is both of us didn't really come away unscaved.

Because this is a mad thing. It's like I had, I had Xim as a kid really bad, and it was dormant for years, well, end of January, boom. It was all the adrenaline and all the stress. I had to myself have treatment. I was put on strong medication because my skin just went, so your body, the adrenaline and then your reaction straight away. And then like, Gemma had to have a few, you know, tablets and help and I think we'd been like this.

Existing in us. It was amazing, it the thi, it thine, it'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, like, like, like, like, like, like, to existing. Yes. And like it was amazing what adrenaline can do like how it gets you through. Yeah and how long it can last and how long it can last yeah and and we sort of came back but now I'll look at her so she's 12 years old she's doing brilliant at school she's had no problems whatsoever. The only thing she's ever mentioned about is she's got a scar. So she's conscious that she's thou you know. She speaks in a German, that's the other things. She'll only go anywhere by a Learjet now. Like a little cardassion. Yeah, so she's got like a scar and she had like a little, they call it a peg where she was fed into a stomach. So it's like a little dint. But other than that, she's completely unscathed. And now it feels like a different life.

Yeah, I bear. Oh wow, it does. And then here's the amazing close to the story. I think I said to you, we got rid of everything, we sold the cot, we sold everything. We didn't want any reminder of it. So to to to to to to to to to to to to the, to, to, to, the, to, to, the, the, to, to, the, the, to, the, the, to, the, to be, to, to be, too, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they, they, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, they.oomorrow, they we said we're only going to have a one child. I was booked in for the snip and everything and then being flown out to Munich for it weren't you? Yeah it was a high-end snip. I was a the pilot got me out there as a as a priority. But we sort of said look I don't think we could

make the decision now and then five yearsthat moment when they kept us in hospital for a week and she had to have the heel points. Oh my fucking Nora just in case. But completely fine. She had a genetic test it's not there. My brothers had two children both fine. And would your daughters have this potential to pass this on? Yeah Olivia definitely is because she's carrying so if she has children she's a high risk? So I think she's like a 30% percent? so th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi the thi thi thi thi thi their just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just 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 thi thi thi thi they thi their their their their their thi thi thi thi this on. Yeah, Olivia definitely is because she's carrying. So if she has children, she's a high risk. So I think she's like a 30% chance. Whereas Sophia's nothing. Because it's not in her system. Right. But you're carrying as well. I'm carrying. So I've lived with it. And I've had no, you know, other than being a comedian, which is obviously a problem. It's been no sort of, but it was, yeah, we look back now and just go, whenever I see parents who've been through stuff now, I always think,

God, this is, you forget that's one part of parenting that no one talks about, I think. Exactly, and thank you so much for sharing it. It's hilarious and also really important and just an amazing story and I think we'll definitely get you back on for what I'd say more of a normal episode. Just to talk about like the washing up and shit like that. Just on the days and times you're falling over and something and they pointed them laughed or you know that kind of stuff or your daughter said shit once in front of someone in front of someone in poor. It's a real shame because it's a cracking story. It's a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their shit. It's a little is a little is a little is a little is a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to things.

It's a little their their their their their their their their their their their their the deli counter which... Oh well that's a... That's so into a fortune next time.

Which would have been much better, much lighter. Much lighter. Is it the same length of story or is it? Oh yeah, they're all, they're all an hour, John. We'll get you on for that one when you announce a new tour so you can I'm touring again with the greatest hits tour and we're going all the way to the end of the year. We just got the greatest hit that was it? That was the greatest hit. Oh there's plenty in the locker baby. I have got you know. I'd say as well your stand up isn't that in-depth for sort of you know deep about childhood illness I'd say you don't really tou tou' that's that that that that that the the the to to that the to the to the to the the the to their their their their their their their their their their their to be to be their their that's that's that's their their that's that's that's that's that's that that that's that that's that that that that that that that that that that their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th is. their th is th is th th their the the the try try tou try toda. try that's try that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's and it's just a very funny hour. No, I tend to swerve that. I think if you've got a babysitter, the last thing you need is to be sitting there going, this is traumatic. We've just been to Nambos, we've got a babysitter

and now we're watching this. This is not stand up. This is a great. So it's called Great Scott. to Scott Bennett comedy.coadyk, forward slash, live, and it's my favorite bits, it's a lot about families and family holidays and things like that and stuff that, you know, parents will relate to. But if you're not a parent as well, there's loads of stuff in there about life. And also our podcast is called Brew with the Bennets. BWTB the Bennets if you'll listen today. No, thanks for doing it. No, you're a good man, Scott, brilliant comedian and she should definitely get a ticket. And most of all, thank you for starting before your kids have even got up. And they won't have got up yet.

10, 12, I think, one of them will be coming now in a dressing gown, like Louvre style, like months in the hospital. I know, yeah, that's it. And they've got a new mattress coming soon. Oh, what a life. Yeah, it's his dream, yeah. Too expensive though, I think, in the back one line. What she said to us, do you want to do it in installments? And I was like, the last thing you need when you're trying to sleep is to worry to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry is to worry to worry about is to worry about is to worry is to worry is to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry, is to worry to worry to worry to worry, is to worry to worry to worry to worry, is to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry to worry, is to worry about is to worry about is to worry about is to worry about is to worry about is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to right that was absolutely brilliant guys Scott Bennett what a story Josh amazing incredible I mean that was the second

Sorry, that wasn't my take-home. Well, I thought early on, I thought I should mention this Kirstama thing. As the story went on, I thought I'm getting less and less chance here to drop the Kirstauma thing. Yeah, I'd love if you panic, then put it in light. Yeah, and you look a bit like Kirsterner.

I mean if you can make that funny. Honestly, his stand-ups absolutely brilliant. He's proper laugh-out loud funny. And that's why I think that was so good and good place for Scott to do it. Because he doesn't really talk about that kind of stuff in his stand-up because he's just going for laughs the whole time and stuff and stuff so yeah. Yeah, no, he's brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, the thin a thin a thin a thin, their the the their their their their their their their that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thin, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant acting, brilliant acting, brilliant acting, brilliant acting, brilliant acting, brilliant acting, their tha, thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' tha' tha' a thr-a, thro' th
