And then I realize that is the best bit, isn't it, when you go, I've written down some ideas, I'm going to say it out loud, oh, Friday afternoon, they're funny. Let's see if they're funny Sunday night. What, do you want to, I'm doing a gig in January, if you want to do it, on the 24th of January in Soho, around 430. Yes, please. It's called Rob Beckett and at least one friend.

Oh, can I put that in my diary now? Yeah, you can do that. Because we had Steve a Merchant the merchant the other the other other other other other other other other the other other the other the other the other the other other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other other the other the other the other the other the other the other the fact I was starting stand-up again. Yeah. Tort a follow at some point guys. Stephen Merchant texted me but he texted me like we had a conversation like we would have had in 2008 or nine. Yeah. Where it was like what gigs do you do? What could you recommend some when we're like talking to each other about which are the good gigs to do? That's what's amazing he's like couldn't be more the the to to be to be to be the to be to be to be to be the to be like. to be like. to be like. to be like. to be like. the to be like. to be like. to be like. to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, to be like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the good gigs to do. That's what's amazing. He's like couldn't be more established, more recognized, more successful in the UK and America. Greatest sitcom of all time, the office he co-created, worth an absolute fortune, still

loves scrapping around for little gigs and so because nothing's better than stand up. That's my favorite thing to do. So he was brilliant. He came and did it because the show I do is called Rob Beckett and at least one friend yeah to make it easier to book but yeah Lloyd Griffith's done one you're gonna do one Steve a merchant's done one they're supposed to be a surprise but the ticket's already sold already four thirty that's good isn't it lovely everyone's own by six or in the fucking boozer oh oh it's a thirty p.m. Normally straight to the MPC car park heading back to London. Can I park nearby?

Oh, it doesn't sound ideal. Even though it's a 4.30 p.m. start, you'll still get people going, it's like I can go first, I can get back early. I've got more normal time gigs coming up, but I think a lot of people are up for them to start times. How big is it? 180 or something? I think. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I can can can can can can can. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've th. I'm. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. thi. thiolky. I can't.

I'm tot. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try. I'm try? I sometimes think if you've got kids as well, it's easier to get someone and they're at school to have them after school for a few hours and say you come to that shout R4, you get home by 8 o'clock and grab the kids. Anyway, Josh, let's talk about your kids.

Just stop talking about us and stand up. I've just had a bad incident, Rob. Oh no, what's happened? Literally, between, so we're recording the Tuesday and the Friday episodes, this is together. Yes. I went down to make a tea between them. Rose said, you slag me off yet? Oh, I said, no? I said, no, no, why would I have slag you off? Yeah.

We're laughing. called yeah and then I said oh right yeah yeah well I think we're gonna do one of those Lou and Rose response episode soon said yeah I've been keeping notes oh well this needs to get set up for next week oh god I find because I'm normally at my office but because it's Christmas and New Year and we're a bit all over the place I'm doing these ones from home yeah on a Saturday morning at 8 and it's always quite difficult because this is our job, this is work, we get paid to do this, we have to do this and we have to deliver episodes by as much as we love it, if we just didn't do it, there's consequences.

We break our contract. We break it. I said to, oh I'm gonna go in there and talk about going to go in to do it now so, I'm gonna to to go in, I'm gonna, I, I, I, I, I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to their, I'm to th. I'm th.

So Agent Phae's, she will have booked you into that Roger Black estate agent gig.

Oh yeah, she's an agent but also does a lot of the corporate work, doesn't she? She sent me a great idea, Rob. Okay. And she sent me a video. She said, you should mention this on the show, and I thought I will. So you know those squeegees that window cleaners use? Yeah. Not just a professional, but you'd use it to maybe if you're cleaning your car windscreen or whatever. So the squashy one was material or one that just, the one that's a line, a plastic line,

and it just makes it bone dry. Yeah. A video of a moa thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the thr, thr. the the, the the the the. the the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to toaken one to the park, and she was just using it on all of the things, on the slide. Oh, that is a game change. She's on the honours list. She's on the honours list. Carol Vauderman, she's on the honours list. Yeah, big wig for her. Isn't that a great idea?

It is. It's mad. It makes it look. It makes make make make make. It makes make. It, yeah, your kids are a bit old for it now, but I mean, I haven't gone out and bought one, but I think it's a brilliant idea. I think you should and do some Instagram videos about it. Okay, I can order one now. I would say though, if it's that rainy, I'm not going to the park as much as you do. No, but sometimes there's just a bit of water, there's of can't slide off. Yeah, no, I'm all for it. I think it's a great idea, especially if you go to the park as much as you do. Exactly. Rob?

Yeah. Add to Basket. I'll do your video for next week. I would have to know what anyone's most immediate purchase of all time was. Seven pound sixty-two. I've told you the came in the show they interviewed. I don't want to say who it is I don't get anyone in trouble and there was interviewing someone who was famous they come on the radio show to chat to the host and the host and the host was like

oh you're in really great shape what you've been doing and the guy said oh I've got this new rowing machine and he's the the the the the the the the the the the th I they they th I they they they they they they they're I they're I got I got I got I got I got I got I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm th I'm th I'm th so I'm th so I'm th is I was I don't I'm tho tho tho tho tho they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're I I they're I they're I'm I'm I'm I'm to th to to toy toy toy toy toy toy toy toy toy toy to toy toy th th th tho tho tho tho they're they're they're there and then. Yeah, so Roman shit and he literally went, oh what's it called? I'm typicin to Amazon, my mate saw over his shoulder, he bought like a two and a half grand rowing machine. Fuck it, yeah. It's not only having the two and a half grand to do that, it's no, you've got the space. Exactly. Yeah.

That's. That's the bigger. Why are you in radio if you've got that kind of money? Anyway, normally divorce. Divorce or addiction. They're the big money drainers. Or addicted to divorce some people. Some people are. So you're like this. I was in the park. Right, obviously. So what happens is my daughter will ride a bike. And then my son will go on the scooter. Helmets? Yes, and I'll push him along. Yeah. So it's basically, it's a way of just pushing him along, but occasionally I'll give him a

big push and it'll go 10, 20 yards or whatever, yeah. So give him a big push. We're on like the road bit that's in the park and he veers off hits the pavement straight over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought this could be bad but what you do you don't react. Yeah I mean I'd say you react but not you don't you completely ignore him and you don't do that yeah you get him up and you go it's all fine. Yeah and I thought I'll push him straight away again yeah so that it's like getting back on the horse and he was. th. th. the th. the the th. th. the the the th. the th. the the the the th. the th. I th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the thooooooo. the. the. tho. tho. th. all fine. Yeah. And I thought, I'll push him straight away again. Yeah. So that it's like getting back on the horse.

And he was fine. And then an old bloke, old East End bloke, was walking past and watched the whole thing. Never felt such pride as this moment, Rob. He went, good to see some old school parenting. Respect. Get back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the blood the the the the their their their 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 th th. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooo. thooooooooooo. that that that that that fucking scooter boy. I thought, what crying? White the blood out of your mouth.

Get on with it. You whine's. I'm so pleased with myself. That is good though, because you do see a lot of people, like, it's called helicopter parenting where they're all over them. Yeah, exactly. Because they're not really hurt, are they? Well done, exactly. Because they're not really hurt, are they? Nothing. Exactly. Well done, Josh.

Yeah, thank you. Even the geesees of East London, just absolutely smashing it together? Yeah, well, here's the other side of me, Rob. Go ahead. You started hitting them. Settle an argument, because I said to, are you aware of this? No, I'm not actually really. What about his after Villagues? There's a play in the West End about Garris Southgate's time as England manager. Really? It's not done anything.

It's about him changing the culture of the England football team. Okay. And who he is and what, it's really good. Is it? I was just didn't feel like there was enough source material No, there is actually I wouldn't say Harry Kane Will be delighted with his portrayal. Oh, no, as one of the thickest men ever living Do you know what he's not at all he's very with it. He's not not just his voice and when he's doing straight interviews? The guy The guy who lays Harry Kane is fucking hilarious. Okay.

Do you know, it's the only time I think anyone's ever been to the theatre. And I never thought I'd say these words. I went, that is a fucking good impression of Alex Scott. Oh, she! The woman that played Alex Scott, there's a bit about a fucking hell. What's the tu-Fu- Fucking out what's going on here? It's my Stanley Cup. Lou got me a Stanley Cup. It's what all the cool moms have at the school I think. It's like a thing on Instagram.

How heavy is that? How heavy is that? Hold it next your head. It's bigger than the man. It's like WD4. It's bigger than your head. Give me W.D4 you're a th. You live in a world where nothing's the right size. I know, it's magic, isn't it? Yeah, so anyway, she was great the Alex Scott.

Do you know what? She was so good, Rob, I almost went up to apologize for ignoring her and Madonna. Just to sort of play it out and get it. Just make it wrong, right, wrong. Sorry, Alex. So, anyway, yeah, so why are we talking about the golf south gate. So it's a matinee. Yeah. I've never been to a matinee during the week before. Yeah. What I'd say is we were the youngest people there by 20 years. Sure. Okay. It was them some old people there. So there was a cue the towar. the true. the true. So there was a queue down the road. the the the road. the the road. the road. the road. the road. the the the road. the the the the the the road. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tree. tod. to. tree. the the to. the the the the the tou. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the queue, and then it transpired. There was another queue that was like coming the other side of the road and joining.

And we, you know, you often get it in the Pleasant's courtyard at Edinburgh. You get these like split cues and then people join the back of the. Yeah. Anyway, the queue was moving. the tree. And then we joined and the we've got to join the back. And Rose's like, it doesn't matter. It's sort of a bit of a bum fight. No one's going to call you out on it. No, that's what she said. Her actual words were when I started panicking. I was like, we can't do this.

She got to join the back. Yeah, she said, what? Do you think someone's going it's just a right thing to do. Yeah, fair enough. And I said, I'll bring it up on the podcast, I'd let Rob settle who is in the right and who is in the wrong. I'd say sometimes. Maybe that's not the, what the right thing to do in that situation? I think normally it's absolutely fine. However, sometimes the TV tax, you don't want to be known as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh as Josh. As a to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be the to be to be to be the to be to be to be the to be to be to be the the to be to be the the to be the to to the to to be. to be. to. the the the right. the the right. the the right. the right. the the the the the the the right. the the the the the the the the to be. the the to be. the the the the the the the the the the right. the the the the the the to be. the to be. to be. to be. to be. 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 TV tax, you don't want to be known as Josh would have the Q-Jumper. No, no. But I think if he's coming from numerous sources to Q, I think you're fine to ride it out and just ignorance is bliss. Yeah, that's what we did. Can I ask you a question about what you do? So in the swimming, you know when you're kids swimming? Yeah. They need to go a to to go to go toilet. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to go. to. to. to. to. to. their. to. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

Yeah, point to my bedroom.

I then I walk up to my bedroom. Start taking the towel off, turn around, and she's just stood there. She thought you were saying come with me, that you were saying I'm going to. Yeah, she thought I was saying come to my but you were saying I'm going to. Yeah, she thought I was saying come to my bedroom, we'll start the cleaning. There. God, your mother's brought you with a threat and a freak. Yeah.

So, there we go. There's, there's a truc. That happened. I want to hear about your kid. You said your sound that wouldn't go asleep your father-in-laws or something. Here we go, this is where it starts. Right, so it gets juicy, yeah? Post Christmas. A lot of people to fit in. Take my daughter down to Devon. We do the family down there. I just go with my daughter because it's much easier to just, we can get the train train to'n'n'er. then we can get the train back. If I took took to to their to their to their. their. to their. their their their to their their to their the a the a the a the a the a train, train, train, the a the a thea'e. thea. thea' thea' thea' to thea' thea' thea' thea' thea'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n't, thea.

If I took my son, it would just be a faf. Right. And he won't remember it anyway. Lou, just show me a present, sorry, then run out.

Go. What is it? Big Teddy. I think she ordered an extra one by accident. And then she's got a big teddy. The girl's got an eight-year-old and Teddy. I looked at Lou's eyes and she's been around the old house. And I was like, she's got nothing else apart from the big teddy here. Can't she just go far as I suppose where you live? Is where you ordered a big teddy for the

six-year-old and two arrived by accident and then goes down. The parents will probably listen to this. That's what we're doing with here, Josh. And there's no way of getting to a shop on the way. The party starts in 40 minutes. And I'd say they're a 35-minute drive away. Oh God. Do you know what I'd do in that situation? What's that? I'd go to to the shop to go. tho. tho. tho. tho. to the to to to their to to to to the to the to to to the the to to the to the to the the to to to the the to to to to to to the the the the to to too. tooge. too. too. too. too. to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. the their their the the the the prisoner home wrapped. I'll bring it in on Monday. Yeah, that is a shout, but then you've got to go shop to tomorrow. The other option is a big teddy from an eight-year-old, I don't know.

The eight-year-old still like big teddy's though, don't they? Yeah, but do they want a gift? Yeah. Do they all love Stitch now. The older kids love Stitch and Angel, don't they? Spoiler on that. No, the child's getting it in a minute. This isn't live. This isn't live.

The parents are not at home listening to this. No. Anyway, so are you gone down to Devon? Come back up. It's a nice little trip. Nice trip. We had three different people around on Boxing Day. We've done a lot of people. Then the next day we're driving to Lewis near Brighton to see Rose's dad and his wife. We get there is very nice.

It's night time, Rob. And you don't go there much to you with the kids during the year, do you? It's more of a lot of visiting family, the the their, their do you? It's more of a visiting family at Christmas kind of thing. We've never stayed there. We'd normally go in the day and come back because it's not that far away. Yeah. So we brought a travel cop, Rob. But they've got a bed for the two kids. My son still sleeps in a car. I think he's getting to the end of it. Yeah, because how old are you now? Now the old to leave? to the the to to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to to to to to to to to to to to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave the car the car the car the car the car the car the car. the car. the car. the car. the car. the car. to the car to the car. to to to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to leave to in the bed? Because we're redoing the house this year. Right. Not completely redoing it, but there's various rooms that are going to be changed. You don't want a big bed that you've got to move in and out to paint it and stuff, isn't it? We're just like, we'll just do it then. Yeah, because we're doing his room. Yeah, it'll be doing your room at some. to be the room. tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thrown. thrown. thrown. thrown. that. that. that. that, that, that, tho, thoomoomorrow. that, that, thoome, tho, thoome, tho, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the.

Both kids are very excited about this. Lovely, little sleepover.

Yeah. Moment they get in the bed, it's obvious, it's not going to happen. There's no fucking way they're both suddenly sleeping in a bed together. They've never done it before. So they're just not into it at all. He hates it. She's up for it, but th. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the their. the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. the. the. the. the. the. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. the car. Yeah, coming with the travel cot. They're quite small as well travel cot, isn't they? Yeah, it's far too small, Rob. It's far too small.

He is fucking furious. My daughter's like, well, he goes sleep in your room, can I sleep in your room as well? So, the cot now in our room. Right okay. See my instinct on this situation would be why don't you just sleep with your daughter in the one room and Rose sleeps of your son in the other room and just a slave him until he gets to sleep. Well that's what we did on holiday that's what we did on holiday because the bed in the other room is like a small child's bed. I needed to go in the double and so my door is to go for to go. to go.

And so my door is lying on the floor. He won't go and sleep in the travel clock. No. He's stood up, he's furious. He's saying I want to go home. This is about 8 p.m. by this point. Yeah. We try him on the double bed. Yeah. No dice. So he's not even laying down. He's just wandering around going to to go. the the the the the th th the th to to to to to to to go to the to go to go to go the to go to to the the the to go to to to to the the to to go to go to to the the to go to go the the their to go their their their to go their their their their their their tre. their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the the the the the the the try. try. try. try. tre. tre. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. tr I said to Rose, I genuinely think I'm going to have to just drive him home.

Is this in front of him as well? Yeah. I'll be honest, me suggesting that is really ups the I want to go home. Once he hears me, I'll try as an option. I mean, once he's heard his dad today, I might drive him home.

Oh, I basically have to go out and go, we're going to have to relay for dinner. Rose is going to sit in there. I'm going to come out and have dinner with. Eventually, after half an hour to 45 minutes, he goes down. Oh, hang on, there's a kid screaming, Josh, sorry.

Here we go, no, one second, sorry. I'm back, sorry. Oh God. What was that? Do you reckon many podcasts? One of the host has to leave and go and wipe a child's ass. I can't see Alista Campbell doing it. Do you think Roy Stewart does it himself? I'm sorry, going. So you got 45 minutes trying to get him to sleep. That's why we ended it, wouldn't it?

Yeah, 45 minutes trying to get him to sleep eventually he goes down yeah Rose Clubs out my daughter my daughter my daughter is still awake this is 10 to 9 by now she's trying to sleep in the floor yeah obviously she's been there for the whole thing yeah so she's like you go in and deal with our daughter about about about a about about half about about a to that the to that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that about that about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about about 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to tho to to to to tho to to to to to to to to to to to the the My kids have been going to bed well late.

Yeah no it's nine it's so like we'll try and get him up earlier my younger one sort of goes sleep earlier but my old she was still awake a quarter ten last night she was knocking around it's fucking mental it's fucking absolutely insane it's weird I think it's because it's

because it gets dark so early there just used to be in dark where it's like it's easier in like spring and autumn where it's a thi thi's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like it's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. it's the they. it's they. it's they. it's 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 they the the the the 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 they they they they they they they. they. the the the they. the the they they's they they they they they they it's getting a bit dark now but like in the summer and winter it's like is it ever possible to drag it back once it's gone no so basically school will properly tie them out so now they're back at school they'll go to bed at 10 but we wake up at 6 or 7 but they're not just like laying on the sofa watch and tell you they're like having to like think and do spawn right and all all all all all that so that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that will that will that will that will that will that will that will that will that will not that will not that will not that'll that'll that'll the the the th I 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 their they. their their their their they. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. tho. the will will will be thooooooooooo. tol. tol. to tol. to thoooo. the will will will the will the they'll be absolutely awful but this is Friday now so I imagine we've obviously recorded this earlier in the week that'll be absolutely terrible Friday night. Yeah, so tonight the kids are going to be horrific and aggy. The next day I just realised, yeah, by this point I'm done talking. I've done enough socialising for Christmas. Right, I hit that war as well where it's like I just don don't wanna sit down with people

and eat them into pie and talk about the tele or what's going on? Yeah, so it's just unfair on whoever comes last. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I just realize I'm offering nothing in conversation Well, I think that's what Christmas does. And that's a bit, you know, we talk about birthdays and stuff in January. It's like, people are done with catching up with people. Yeah.

Do you know what, the moment I knew I was talked out was, I was in the toiler at Rose's dad. I was doing a buzzfeed quiz on whether I'm an introvert. Ah! Ha! Are you? Yeah, 100%? You got 100% on introvert? Yeah, it was like you're a big introvert was basically the... And what does that mean? I think you just, you find socializing, tiring and stressful. Yes. I think you are an introvert as well probably. Yeah, I think I enjoy going out and doing gigs, which feels like is an extrovert thing, but that's because I'm in control of it. You know one talks back?

Yeah, there's not many people I can sit down with, and it's not a bit of an effort to have a conversation. I do sort of sometimes, like, if you are chatting to someone and the chat's not quite good enough, I sort of feel like, I could be watching like Game of Thrones instead of talking to you. I could just be looking at the internet and there's so much more on there than what you could offer. But then sometimes you sit in chat to someone, it's really fun. It is. When you're in the mood.

But it drains you, it absolutely drains you. James who we've had on this, I was talking to him about, he's like this, he's cycled to Kennington on Christmas night just to be on his own. He just went for a bike ride. I think as well, I do think it's overwhelming when you've got kids because they are constantly asked questions and talk to you. Like it's every second, I'd had, and it's all nice stuff, and it's all nice stuff and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's lovely, and it's a thi. It's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's a nice, and it's all, and it's all, and it's all, and it's all, like, like, and it's all, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and it's a thi. It's all, like, like, thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. being tired by it. But it's like your brain constantly has to engage and answer rather than it just being quiet. So I think when you've got young kids and there'll be people with teenagers now going, I wish they spoke to me. Yeah, yeah, totally. But it's the fact you start the day, you start the day at 6 a.m. with your tea tea your feet being tickled. Exactly yeah. And then they're immediately in your face going I'm hungry. Like literally where's my iPad I'm hungry? Okay. So anyway the next

day we drop in on Susie Ruffle and Alice and their daughter. Oh because they lived down that way didn't theythey? And it was very nice. God, they got a real empty shell of a Josh Widdickon that day. They didn't get me on my A-game. I still delivered, but they knew. Yeah, he wasn't vintage. It wasn't vintage me. And then we get in the car, it's an hour and a half home, and I'm like, and I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I'm, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, and I'm like, they they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're like, they're they're like, they're they're they're they're, this will be our first evening to ourselves.

Yeah. The whole Christmas. Because Rose's mom's been there, because she's had an operation just before Christmas. Yeah, she stayed with you for a couple of weeks, didn't she, over Christmas? So just you and Rose is the first night together in weeks. Just me and Rose's the next day is the first day nurseries back open. And Rose's mom, and Rose's sister are going to take my daughter out so we're going to have the house to ourselves. Oh lovely nice little day together. Yeah so like we've done it we've got to the end of

Christmas and then driving along by sat and I have literally as I get to a roundabout says do you want to change route? As I pull off the roundabout, it removes the do you want to change root option. It literally gave me a second to read out my route on a roundabout. By failing that, we then get caught in an hour and a half tail back. Sat, completely stationary. Kids awake or asleep at that point. They're awake, they're watching their iPads. Do they watch them in the car? Mine get a bit sick doing that? Yeah, they can watch them in the car, which is... They've never watched their iPads in the car, mine. But they

wouldn't watch it to school or anything. I know, I'm not criticized, but ours have just never done it. thii. And then, I. their. their. th. th. th. th. they, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I've th. their. their. their. their. they're, their. their. their. their. their. they're watching. their. they're watching. they're, their. their. their. their. their. They're, their. their. their. They. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. I. their. I. I. their. they. they're. their. they're th. th. thee. th. thea. th. th. they're watching. they're watching. they're watching. they're watching. their. they're watching. they're watching. they're watching. they're watching. they I was once in a long taxi journey and I gave my daughter she watched her iPad and then she threw up. So yes for some reason it works in the car but not in the taxi. Right okay. I think it's because it's attached to the seat so it's stationary. We've got an attachment that attaches it to the back of the seat in front so it's like a screen on the back. And headphones on, headphones off? We'd like headphones on, but they're always off. Okay, so they're watching two separate things? Yeah, but my daughter's often playing games. Right, okay, fair enough. I hate that noise of the, you know, it's awful. Yeah. Okay, cool. So at least I've got their hour up hath, so they're fine. Yeah. Hour and a half tail back. And then Rose's their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, th big favor by taking our door out the next day. Yeah. Says, am I right to stay yours tonight?

Because obviously, there's no room in these sisters, and they'll be helped with getting your door out. So there goes our evening together, but that's fine. She's doing us a big favor, so I'd say, yeah, it's a good swap. Yeah fair enough yeah I'm sure. Great to have that day out but then would you rather have 14 nights of you and your wife? I'm not being drawn on that. Anyway so she did love it but anyway so she's standing yours yeah so your evening together is gone but you still got the day tomorrow. Yeah exactly and also we were going to get back at 615, start a bedtime. Now we're going back at 8. Fine. Lovely. 7.30. Text from Rose's mom.

Yep. She's shut her finger in the door of an Uber. No. No. Doesn't say this at the time. But genuinely, the door has shut. So she's had to open the door to get her finger out. Okay. How's she text? Other hands, I imagine. Yeah. Is she right? to the text doesn't convey quite how shaken she is by the situation. Right, fair enough. Yeah, because it is a funny injury. We're all aware of that. Yeah, it is funny. She's done it, turning up at our house. Yeah. So she goes into our house. Obviously we're not there. She then goes to the neighbor. She needs to go to go to go Oh God, is that bad? It's that bad, she needs to go to A&E. So our neighbor, thank you Pauline, takes her to A&E. And this is your evening in together.

This way evening in together. Obviously Pauling can't stay with her, but she's feeling faint, so she can't be left on her own. Yeah, so Pauling's dropped off at A&E. No, Pauline sat in A&E with her. Oh, big up Pauline. Yeah, fucking legend. Yeah. I'm like, well I'll have to go and take over from Pauline. Yeah. Okay. Do you know what? I think A to get two kids bathed and bed at 8 o'clock. In a way it is. I'd say you've lucked out there. You've almost felt like you've set up this Uber injury. I'd say I have lucked out. I'd say Rose, and I'm Rose would admit this, had reached a point of frustration with us losing her evening where she wouldn't have been good company at the hospital. Because then she's got her evening, she's got her own evening. The kids can't sleep at about 10.

You and the mother-in-law are out on the night on the tiles, in urgent care. The night before the junior doctor's strike, which my mother-in-law describes as a good time to go to A&E, I don't think that's... I don't's there's blood everywhere. Okay, sorry. When I get there, do you remember when I went to A&E for my chest before Christmas? Same A&E? Oh, so by the way, someone said that you had pluracy. What's that? So, plaucy, I think. Yeah, so basically it's like when you have a really bad chest infection, there's thin lads of tissue that separate your lungs from your chest wall. If they become inflamed,

then basically every time you sort of breathe, they hit up against your chest wall. Oh wow. Yeah, that does sound during breathing and that can come in flames when you've got a really bad chest infection. Yeah I did have pluracy, bloody out. Sometimes felt in the shoulder. Well you know my neck and shoulders. Maybe worse when you cough, sneeze or move around it may be relieved by taking shallow breaths. Antibiotics for bacterial infection that's what I did.

The weight was such, and this is not a point to have a go at why the junior doctors are striking because they need more money. The weight was such, one bloke ordered a kebab. What, in A&E? In A and E, he ordered a kebab. Did they sell kebabs there? No, he got Deliveru. He didn't eat it in there. Yeah, he brought it in. This, again, sounds like I'm making up. Yeah. a bloke a chip in the row behind us.

And the guy said, better not, I've just had a heart attack. And he's still in the queue. I'd say heart attack rushes you through surely. Yeah, there was a guy also had a full-on bandage around his head like a fucking cartoon. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Like Terry Butcher in the World Cup, calling it out. And he was just sat there, this guy for fucking hours. These people are so overworked. Anyway.

Well yeah, that's the thing there's just not enough of them and they're not getting paid enough. It's a joke. Yeah, it's unbelievable. So we get in there. I get there at 8.

I had to like sort out the house and stuff, Rob, because it was just post-Christmas fucking shit storm and we were going to the Garra's Southgate play the next day, so we didn't have any time. That was a nice day out though.

Yeah, that was lovely. Lovely. We went to the cinema to watch Napoleon. It's such a weird film, mate. What is that? Who's in that? Who's Napoleon? This little French gazer. Ha ha ha ha. Anything else you want to share? Or should we do a quick way of correspondence? Oh, I did think of something, Rob.

Sorry. Go on, go on. In the middle of all of this, that shit storm, yeah. I got a text from Michael on our group, to to in the Maldives. Yeah, producer Michael's in the Maldives at the moment. He was right, he was running out of books and he was bored and he was going to have to take a scuba diving course for something to do. Meanwhile I'm sat at A&E doing a quiz about whether I'm an introvert in the toilet of my father-in-law's house. Yeah, so enjoy them all do's, Michael, you bastard. I'm bastard. I ate, you like, you're there with Marvin and Rochelle Humes. He said none of this is making the edit. Fair enough, he's in charge. Right, here we go. Corresponders.

Hello, I thought you and the listeners should know that I tested the the the the you you them to remember something. Technique you mentioned in a previous episode on my I did. I did right. I did second child over the festive period. It worked brilliantly. It worked the period. Someone said, someone said, the bit of your brain is the same bit of your brain that you use for being angry. So, if you do that, their, to too, the, their, their, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I's, I's, I'm, their, their, their, their, their, their, I's, I's, I. their, I. their, I. their, I. their, I.

They go like, why are you asking me about something? Where, so I think with a kid, if they're getting all angry and I want this, I want that, and you can go to the blue one or is he the orange one. Right. And it's something that's going, no, down the big side of the little side? It's something they're quite passionate about or excited about, or they bring up a lot for them to remember or going, as Granddad got a beard or no beard? Something that they definitely would know and they can remember.

I'll try it with Rose. Yes, I'm going to do the squeege. What were the other the other the other the other th th th thingito th th th th th th th th th th th th thi I thi. I was thi. I was thi.

I've fucking shown them! Oh, Josh, do you want this boomer parenting story, peanut butter? Yes. Hi, Robin Josh, absolutely love the podcast. Grown up my dad was filled with fun,

but he also never knew when not to cross the line. He loved a joke and would tickle us until he laughed so much. this was a firm favorite. However, one afternoon, my dad was eating peanutupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupy. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. thy. thy. th. th. tooom. to. toe. toe. tooom. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. was eating peanut butter on toast and my sister, who couldn't stand the stuff, started making sick noises and generally being really vocal about how gross it was. Dad asked, have you even ever tried it before? My sister replied, no, it smells so bad I know I don't like it. Then came the joke. My dad stuck his fingers in a peanut butter and waved it towards my sister. She run away and the chase went on for a while while. My tooom. My too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. the the the too. the the the t. the t. the t. the t. t. the t. the the the the tod the the th. th. th. the th. the th. the the the the the the the the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thi. thi. to, t to, tod to.

My sister was giggling until dad grabbed her then shoved his fingers in her mouth. Oh no.

My sister of that moment with my dad's peanut butter fingers in her mouth was so traumatized she passed out. Oh no! She completely blacked out and fell towards my dad. He caught her, we all stopped laughing. When my sister came around in my dad's arms, she said, I told you I don't like peanut butter. Ha ha ha ha ha. Of course my mum was furious. My sister has never been around peanut butter ever again. And needless to say, dad never false food on us again.

Thanks to always been sex-related. From Redding, shout to my twin sister, Laura, who is still very much traumatized by the incident. Oh, my word. Show what, some boomer stories are just sort of like horrible. That does feel like a bit of fun that got out of hand. Yeah. It wasn't like dog poo, it was just peanut to the sort of neighborhood cats. Particularly as you haven't really got a neighborhood. Yeah, so that he's even more suspicious, really. It's completely white as well.

Is that normal for a cat? No, I mean, some cats are. Cats are weird, I think, mate. We'll be back next week. Here, we've got to be, their ta. Grandparent names, Josh. Hi Rob and Josh, I'm a mom of two boys, Oscar and Flynn 4. Your podcast has kept me same for the past 12 months. So my dad was a notorious biscuit sneaker. He would give my boys as many biscuits as they wanted, even if we told them not to.

Okay, so this is their granddad, right? Yeah. So he lovantly became known as Grandad Biscuit. the soft biscuit pedaling dad he became also had a classic boomer parent history grown up. I had a big love of animals. One day age about eight, I decided I wanted to be a duck farmer. So my dad brought me six of the most beautifully yellow ducklings which I adored and raised lovingly. Six is a lot on it. Skit forward six months. I went up to the farm to see the horses and ducks. To my horror, my ducks were no longer there. I run straight to my dad. to th. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. to to to to th. to th. S. th. th. th. the the th. S. S. the the the the the the the the th. S. S. S. S. S. S. their. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A, t.

I, toda. I, toda. I, toda. I. I. I toda. I. I toda. I toda. I toda. I toda. I the tod. To my horror, my ducks were no longer there. I run straight to my dad to ask him where they had gone. His answer was, I sold them in the pub. What? I was devastated, but in my innocent young mind, they went to live with Santa, but in my now 41 year old mind, I know they probably end up at Christmas dinner. Oh, that's... Oh, that's how. Oh, the shell. Oh, the shell. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

On the farm. Life is brutal on the farm, isn't it?

I think ducks for Christmas, isn't it, goose? It's Turkey, isn't it? Oh yeah, Turkey. I know it's Turkey, but I mean sometimes people have a goose, don't they? They don't have a fucking mallard, do they? No. What you got here, Malard? American, the one those Canadian geesees from the pond. They're an invasive species, I've took them. Right, should we do a small business? I was going to say,

I got in the car there that yesterday and Rose plugged in her phone to play dually when she saw my daughter listens to exclusively on the way to and from school, our podcast started playing.

I was th oh my god, we still got that bit at the start where we explain what the podcast is. I don't know, I've not listened back. No, I was like, I don't think I've ever listened to this. Yeah, maybe that's a sort of technique so that people that are new understand. Well, it's working. Keep it in. Keep it in. Yeah, because we are, I to see. So thank you very, very much. We do appreciate you. And as a thank you, here's some small businesses. Here we go. Hello Josh Robert Michael. I've listened from the start and now a full-blown addiction.

it? Hello, you sexy and relatable beings. Could you possibly give a small business shoutout for our little endeavor. We're planet golf. tonolf. the planet planet planet planet planet planet planet planet planet planet their their planet their their planet their their planet their planet their their planet their planet their planet their planet their planet their planet their planet their Planet Golf Eastbourne, based unsurprisingly in Eastbourne, a 10-hole space-themed UV mini-gulf calls, think astronauts, aliens and space toilets. Planet golf is a brainchild of my great-mate Rich who noticed there wasn't enough affordable and fun family-friendly activities in the sovereign harbour end of town. So he convinced me to step away from being a special-need teacher and join him on his quest to build a mini golf course. We work so hard to make our venue accessible for to all ages and abilities, but on regular events such as Astronaut Academy and we offer a free second round as standard would be so

chuffed if the parent and hell listeners could check out our socials and give us a follow Insta at Planet Golf Eastbourne or Facebook at Planet Golf Eastbourne. Thank you for all you do to support small businesses. Many thanks Liz that is Planet Golf Eastbourne. There we go. We'll have to go down there when we're on tour down there Josh. Oh yes please.

Well, I'm Jeff Norcott, host of What Most People Think, and my show jokes about all sides, jokes about Tories, jokes about touries, jokes about Labor, jokes about everyone. If there's any Lib Dems listening, there isn't.

With returning guests from across the political spectrum, including Romish Ranganathens, Simon, Constantine Kissing, David,eel, Andrew Doyle, Al Murray, and more. Sometimes we'll make good points. Sometimes we'll make cheap jokes. But whatever we do, we'll be trying our best to get to the heart of what most people think.
