Hello, how are we?
Good, right.
So we're doing a little correspondence special
because we've been blabbering on too much.
But before, we were talking about when we got new glasses.
Like a lot of people, we've got a funky pair that we got carried away with in the glassy shop and we don't really wear them. So we're wearing them today.
Well, let's discuss before.
I don't think mine are funky, I've realized.
Mine just looked like my normal ones but with thicker frames.
So this could be really underwhelmed.
Yeah, mine just looked like.
Yeah, and the on this morning. I thought I quite like these. Yeah, okay. So there's me.
Oh, they're fucking disgusting.
Yeah. Hang on, no, I like it. It's quite good, isn't it? I like them. Yeah. Quite learned. They're very Harry Pottery. They are very Harry Pottery.
They are very Harry Potter, aren't they? I think they make you look richer and posher in quite a good way.
Do you know what I mean? Like not in a don't like you way but you just look like it's quite effortlessly
like I hear my glasses. Hey. Yeah, maybe I should wear them a bit more. I really like it. I think they
make you look more grown up because you can look like a boy a bit try. Yeah yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I'm features. Despite doing Gabby Loa, oh shit, I haven't replied to Gabby Logan.
Oh no, what, well, how will we do?
Will the world stop spinning?
Joshua Williams replied to Gabby Logan.
Reply to her now, what does your message?
She's, she's sent me some free promo.

Judge, I don't think we should be booking another podcast live on hours. I mean if this has made the cut, I don't know what else we set from
got glass. But I like your glasses. Thank you. Thank you. I think you could definitely get away
them. Do you want to see mine? Let's have a look of yours. So these are the thicker framed ones. Yeah. There we go. Oh, I like them. Do you? They do work. Yeah, because I was
expecting you to look like like Heston Blumenthal. They're just, they're really big. They're,
really chunky. Heavy. They work. They're not too big for your face. Yeah, I thought it was
going to look like you were kind of. Like Andy Oliver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Andy. They were huge. So yeah, I didn't want to look like to look like to look like to look like like like to look like like like like like like they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're like they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they work. they work. they work. I they work. they work. they're to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. to work. they're not they're to work. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're not was going to look like you were kind of. Andy Oliver? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like Andy Oliver. They were huge.
So yeah, I didn't want to look like I'd big sort of like more female sunglasses on, but
they're quite, I quite like them actually.
Because I think Andy Oliver's got the style to pull them off.
I'd say, if you had you can get from Rob Beckett.
Even the gap in her teeth is different. I think we could have been more different.
But we got on and that's what the world's about. Yeah. So I think we've both taken a small step in the
exciting direction. Neither us have plunged right in. I'm going to wear w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w 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.

I would the the the the the the the the thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea thea the the the the the the exciting direction. Yes, exciting direction! Neither us have plunged right in.
I'm gonna wear these and see how I'll get on.
I'm gonna wear them for the rest of the day.
I really like yours.
Do you think?
You look like a writer.
No, don't do that.
Don't do that little face.
I prefer them.
I think you other ones to be doing is mixing it up so you know one day
I wear jeans one day I'll our chinos often I wear shorts. I want to be doing that with glasses. Yeah and every day you're heading too exciting. Exactly. Who am I today? I'm Chino Josh. Yeah. In fact who am I for the next hour for the next hour? Maybe I'll change my glasses for this meeting. It might. It's a meeting. I mean. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I to. I to. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

who I was just playing a role.
Right, okay, so if you was in a meeting.
I'm like, oh, I've got a Zoom meeting with my agent,
I'll put on my, what was it,
Rich and Posh glasses?
Yeah, rich and posh a glass. So they know that I I I I I I I I I I I I I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I mean. So that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I was that I was that I was that I was that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I th. I th. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi thi thi thi tha. thi thi thi thi thi. thi. I was thi. So. So. So. So. and my agent. I don't think he'd like it. No, it probably dropped me. Anyway, how are you, Josh?
Anything to go through before we do a bit of correspondence?
I've got a couple of little bits, but...
Go on, talk to me.
I'll talk to me.
I'll talk to it.
Right, so I saw some of the most kids swimming, for example, I might put their costume on underneath the top and trousers, so that when we get to, they literally just take that off and the
knickers are in the bag already to change into after, to speed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you ever do that? Yeah. Yeah, speed things up. They're sometimes I ask our kids to be sent in their pee-k. If they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, yeah, if their, their, their, yeah, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, and then, and then, their, to. And, to, to, to. And, their, to th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, tog. And, to. And, to to to to to to to to to to to to toge. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thm. with a full uniform on. Yeah and swimming cap.
What?
Come on there. What? The rubber cap on. The rubber cap on. And just normal uniform. I imagine it must be the
first lesson. Well, you've got to take all your stuff over the head, which is potentially going to catch
because that's a rubbery cap, right? Yes, absolutely. It's it says it on the tin. It's a rubber. It's tip. It's tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's tap. It's. It's. It's a tap. It's a th. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. 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 a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. It's a tip. is potentially going to catch because that's a rubbery cap right? Yes absolutely Ron Sill it says it on the tin it's a rubbery cab. Surely
that's just right for bullying right? Well yeah but maybe I was thinking maybe
it's like a swimmeat or gala or something and if you've got a lot of hair
could she have been swimming before school? I think that's more weird isn't it to get changed and drive. I'm sorry no no no. No that. No, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's th, it's th, it's th th th th, it's th, it's th, it's th is, it's th is absolutely, it's th is, it's th is, it's th th th th th th th th, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th th th th th is th is the the the an the an thean, thean, that, thean, thean, thoooooooooooooooons, that, tho,'s more weird, isn't it, to get changed and drive.
I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, no, leave it on.
I mean, could she have been doing a club?
Maybe she was going straight in.
Yeah, maybe it was like that she was straight into a club before school.
But yeah, I've just never seen a swimming cap on and full uniform before.
No. But maybe she was going straight in, like from the car to the changing rooms,
swimming costume, in.
So that must have been what it was,
but it was quite a shot.
Especially when it's early, you've liked a coffee
and you start to think you're hallucinating.
Maybe she hates putting the cap on herself.
I don't know.
I think everyone that only when someone from the outside says something you're like, that is odd isn't it? Yeah, yeah. A bit odd was going on there. Yeah. I remember as an
adult my mom peeled my brother's prawns for him. And I was like sure when you're five, not now.
He disputes this and it's a long-waged argument in our family but he's a sort of baby, the youngest.
Yeah, yeah. I think sometimes parents struggle to let go with the youngest,
with certain things.
Yes, yes.
Because it's the last chance at peeling a prawn.
It's the last chance to peel a prawn.
I told you I've peeled Alex Brooker.
I told you this.
No, why are you in Australia with it. he came on which to this day is the greatest gig that TV ever offered anyone.
So I was out there hosting.
It was different times money wise was there Rob.
This is the gig Josh do you want to do this okay?
Monday morning you get picked up in a car and get taken to Heathrow and you fly a business class
on Emirates where there's a bar on the plane.
Oh my words. Oh my words. And you stay in a hotel on the beach with a pool for
three days, yeah, three or four days, I can't even really was, and then you have two days to
settle in.
Insane.
Because you've flown from Australia.
Then you'll go on the TV show for two nights, sometimes three nights.
And you get paid for this, as well as you get a decent fee for this. And then th th th th th th th then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then their their their their to to to to their to to to to go to be to be to be their to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. And then, and 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, the Yeah, so you get a decent fee for this. And then your pickup would be 530 a.m. right in Australia,
Australian time, because it's done so it's on nighttime in England.
You go in, you sit in makeup, get a bit of breakfast brought to you,
then you go and sit on a chair, there's an hour-long show,
for the show, for seven minutes of it, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, their. their. their. their, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right...... Yeah. And you chat amongst the team. Then at 7 a.m. you all get in a car go back
to the hotel for the day. That is insane. What a gig! So he was out there doing that. My owls
were longer. Because I watched that, right, when he was on it. And he did a VT with you.
VT is TV Speak guys for.they film something film something yeah
Video tape does it stand for I suppose they videotape something how old's telling Yeah video tapes yeah
We're gonna videotape something now everybody
And he did a VT with you where he drunk some of the things that were like you know when they do yeah
And I thought fucking Elbroker you don't have to do that. You're not doing the show. Now I understand he was on the absolute jolly of a lifetime. He had to drink a few of those things just to make it feel like it was worth the job for them. And then we'd just sit around the pool all morning and then we'd go a bit earlier for the people hosting it. Anyway, I went for lunch of him. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different time. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It. It. It. It. It. It. It was. It. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was a different.

It was a different. It was a different. It was a different. It was we went to lunch together. He ordered some prawns. It weren't happening.
So it given me, give me her, Alex. I had a big discussion with my daughter last night about Alex Brooker. Oh yeah. I was talking about how going to the Paralympics. Yeah. And then I explained
what the Paralympics was. Yeah. And then we had a long discussion about disability, which was quite interesting actually. Because you suddenly's like quite interesting to explain it to a child why
someone doesn't have a leg or why someone isn't funny. Why someone isn't funny?
I'm joking about a lot about it. He's not actually a comedian. He won a competition.
That's the thing I think Alex the problem of Alex is he's such a normal guy and just so chilled.
He's an in denial inspiration. Yeah. Oh because he's so normal with it's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi to explain to to to to to explain. It's like to explain. It's like to explain to explain to explain to to explain to to explain to to explain to to explain to to explain to to to explain 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 the the the the the thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi I think Alex, the problem of Alex is, he's such a normal guy and just so chilled. He's an in denial inspiration. Yeah, oh. Because he's so normal with it and he's so non-preaching,
non-look what I've done. Just him by being on the tele, and also planning soccer,
like him planning soccer aid and the young kids with disabilities watching that,
I don't think you realize there's the impact he has, to be to be the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has to be the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has to be the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has the impact he has to be the impact he has, to be honest. It's more impressive than one of one direction playing.
I'd say it's more impressive, but I'd say the crowd would still be more excited if Harry
Stiles was there, no matter how inspiring.
Yeah, but who's the one from one direction that does it?
Is it Liam Payne?
Liam Payne, I think, yeah. Robbie Williams described Alex as his favorite player in soccer to Alex. He's probably th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I's th. I's thi. I's thi. I's the thi. I's thi. I's thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thioli. I'm thi. I'll thi. I'm to to thi. I'll thi. I'll thi.

I'll thi. I'll thi. I'll to say to to say to to thi. I'll told. I'll told. I'll to say. I'll tooooooooooooooo. I'll thi. I'd thi. I player in soccer aid to Alex. He's probably just going around.
Talking bollows. Yeah.
No, Alex is far more inspirational.
He's really, I keep saying to him, write a fucking book, mate.
You're a journalist and you've got the most insane story.
You're a guy born who spent like 10 years in and out of Great Ormond Street.
And then you kind of made that work and then at the age of 25
you entered a channel 4 competition thinking you get a week's work and you
fucking ended up on live TV for 12 years and counting and you haven't written a
fucking book about it mate
I mean you know how many boring k-h'kis have written books.
Two of them are saying right now.
Faking hell, mate.
That's why I love him, because he doesn't do that.
He just gets shit-faced and does the art mas singer. I'm gonna go do a live stand-up show as well just to tell his stories.
You've got to be fucking Pringles. He's too busy fucking in a Huddersfield putting up his
Christmas decorations in the middle of October. Are you saying though the last leg is
enabled people with disabilities too many opportunities and they're actually being quite lazy about it? It's the legacy of 2012. I know he he doesn't. He he doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He's. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got. He's got.

The legacy of 2012 is that he doesn't realize how good he's got it.
Yeah, right some correspondence here we go here we go. Horff, never felt so seen with the random alarm names.
This was where...
This is the labeling of your alarm, so I still get woken up by my alarm that says,
take the fall of the turkey from Christmas.
This is Nicole 29, free and childless from Lincoln.
He said, my day-to-day alarm is stuffing in.
It was also from Christmas dinner.
Get that cleared up.
Just from on Saturday night.
Christmas dinner is like...
It's a stressful time, isn't it?
But like, my friend John, who's very good at cooking,
he sent me a photo or something like,
of the day before Christmas, and he literally had like the times of all the things written, like, down of what was th.............. the, the, the, the, th. the, th. th. th. the, th. the, th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, tooom. too, too, too, too, to.

before you're done well no matter what you do to be like no one wants it get it out raw just you raw. Just you scooping it up under your ship, late. I regret not asking Andy Oliver
what she thought about a vegetable designer for Christmas.
I'm sure you'll speak to her again.
Ask Abby Logan what she thinks.
Okay.
Well, and so we've got another alarm on here,
Josh, I hope you appreciate this one, Oh, queuing for tickets? Yeah, well a hangover from Disney World 2022 reminding us to sign up for fast track.
Certain tickets go available and you can virtually queue I think.
There's a lot of different things you can do.
There's always different names for it.
Love you by, that was Nicole there.
What did you say love you by?
Love you by? That's nice.
Why'd like people to really close to and love. Love you. I say love you a lot.
I say love you a lot.
To my kids.
Sometimes, I'm gonna have to believe this,

Fat Quiz the Year and I was a bit more.
Big Fat, the Year.
Big Fat, the Year.
Yeah, we didn't have any cat to the ti and tuna.
Oh, the cat that's the today.
tio'n'er, that's the tuna? That's my go to. How long can a cat go without food? Fucking ages. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah. How long has it got him? No, I've been out since.
So only this morning. Yeah, but I got up. The first thing I do is feed the cat and she's looking at me.
Like, why the fuck aren't you doing this? Yeah. And there's no way for I know, but she's just looking at me and I'm like, I can't communicate to her.
The reason I'm not doing this.
What did you give her?
I went out in the end.
But do you ever, if I'm in a rush, do you ever just do the cat a cheer off with
with that?
Yeah, that's a good one actually.
I should have like that. I think you're a bit too close to your cats. And then I'll happily drink it Rob. That is disgusting. No, it's fine.
That's nearly as bad as your new glasses. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with a cat
drinking your water then you will drink it. You might as well drink from a fucking vase. We're friends. Your friends with its arsoles. That's. That. That. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's.

God knows what is licking and eating outside.
And it's licks the dirt off his body.
Yeah, it's the cleanest of all the...
Yeah, but the mouth ain't clean.
Of course it is the body's only clean.
The body's only clean. Michael, your view on drinking water are cats licked out? Oh absolutely not. I think it's one of the worst things I've heard.
Oh, come on. This is going to go viral. You're going to be on the daily mail now.
And they're going to go, why in the video were both of them wearing funny glasses?
Mid-sketch, it seems from their wacky costumes. Now, that is unacceptable, Josh. Well, I think we we we we we we we we we we'll wenke wen I wen I wen wen't wen't wen't wen't wen't wea. wea. th. th. th. than we'll than we'll than we'll that is bad. Right well I think we'll do a vote

I'll thi. I thi. I thi the. Okay, come on, give me another one. Do you know that we've got some questions here, Rob?
Do you know other podcasts, right?
Yeah.
They'll do one episode a week of questions.
Really?
So Lily Allen and Meketor Oliver are doing a one episode of week of questions,
and so are Richard Osmond and Marina Hyde.
What do they talk about? To be fair, they're really interesting because they're all weird little stuff about TV. I think we're giving out some crazy
stuff about TV where actually about the I'm a ceilib job. Exactly, it's stuff like
that. So it's like what are the most pointless meetings you've ever had.
Do you want me to do that? I can answer that. Yeah, go on. When I first that comedy, when you do certain the the the the the the th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, when you the th. Yeah, when you th. Yeah, when you the th. Yeah, when you the th. Yeah, when th. Yeah, when th. Yeah, when th. Yeah, th. th th. th th. th th tho the that thi that tho tho tho th th th th thy thy thy thy thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi, thi, thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the the biggest thing ever. So I did a competition that I won, but by winning,
and because it was sponsored by Channel 4,
I had to have my first meeting about a DVD with Channel 4,
right?
And that basically they could hold that over.
So, I could hold that over.
So anyway, I'd about the DVD? And they was sort of like, okay.
And I come in and I just sat there and I was like, yeah, I'll quite hard to do one.
And I went, well you're not ready, I went, oh, okay then I left. And I was, that was,
and that, that was it different time, different time.
So they do questions.
Would you want a question then?
I can do your question.
I can do your question about telling?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh Richard Osmond's answering, is it?
Yeah, and she helped me answer it,
Yeah, and she helped me get my after the today.
to the people. Richard Osmond is a huge fan of you who described you and Catherine Ryan as the only two comedians he's ever seen who arrived fully formed.
Wow. There you go. Well I'll take that as a massive compliment from and also fellow Fixspeck crew.
Bid up the Fix Specks! Me, Tom Davis, Romage, Richard Osmond, Andy Oliver, Fix-Speck.
You are both football fans. What is your ultimate comedian-only five-aside team?
Do that mean in terms of football skill or in terms of comedians?
Well, let's do both.
From comedy, so my, I think we've got to pay ourselves in, it's no point not being,
in it. Yeah, and then the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other to pay ourselves in. It's no point not being in it. Yeah, and then the other three. Four. Oh, I saw we were in the same team.
No, you're not in my team.
Look, mate, as much as series linking BBC News is great,
I wouldn't put it in the Billy Connolly bracket.
Yeah, I thought we were doing it on football skills because that makes more sense, but the best players
I've seen, well, Noel Fielding's really good.
Yeah, Russell Howard's good, didn't he?
Yes, I'd say.
Terry Alderton.
He's a very good goalkeeper.
Do you know who was a, but I've never seen play, but who played almost professionally,
was Bradley Walsh. Yeah, he was a good footballer. Well, I play comedians football. I. I. I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I play comedians football, so Chris Martin, not that one, another one, Joe Bore, Matt, the other one, Joe Bore, Matt, their late night gimp fight, they are exceptional.
They're probably not as well known as people like Noel Fielding and Russell Howard, but
they're really good players, but yeah, Chris Martin, Joe Boer, Matt, it obviously is good.
Lou Mcreen's quite a good footballer, and then. on your favorite comedians for other side. Who are your favorite ever comedians like when you were growing up? I know this is a boring question but I think people are quite interest
in that kind of thing. Well for Billy Connolly, Richard Pryor, I used to love Eddie Murphy until
I saw Richard Pryor and I was like, oh, yeah. I love Eddie Murphy but Richard Pryor's the top dog any. So Pryor, Billy Connolly so I absolutely loved the the the the th. So I to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the to to to the the to the to the the the to the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi the th. Richard Pry, th. Richard Pryor th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Richard Pry th. Richard Pry th. Richard Pryor th. Richard Pryor th. Richard Pryor th. Richard th. Richard th. Richard th. Richard th. Richard th. Richard th. Richard th. Prynterntermselly th. P. P. B. B. Pry 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 absolutely love them and then when I saw Peter Kay and then Alan Davis
I absolutely got obsessed with them. He loved Alan Davis didn't you? I absolutely loved Alan
Davis because he grew up in a very similar world to me of that sort of Kent London, Essex London
boulder and he was just talking about normal stuff because his life was fairly mundane.
Did you have that DVD called Urban Trauma and Live of the Lyry I watched that so much so so th and so th and so the th and so th and so th and so th and th and so th and th and th and so th and th and th and th and th and th and th and th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So th. So thu. So thu. So th. So th. So. So. So, th. So, th. So, th. So, th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I. I. Yeah. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I. I watched that so much and people turned up late and he pulled them out. Oh, loved it.
So I'd say Billy Connolly, Richard Pryor are the top two and then I watched them first and then when I saw Alan Davis and Peter K that was mind blowing because I'm like, oh my god, if I want to do it, I can do it, I can th. to do it and do it and to do it and to do it and to do it and to do it and to do it, to do it, to to to to to to to to to they. to they. to they. they. their, their, their, their, they. 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, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, tog. I. I. Yeah, tog. I, tog. I, tog. Yeah, tog. Yeah, tog. Yeah, today, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, god, if I want to do it, I can do it and talk about normal stuff. Yeah, you're watching Richard Pry going, I haven't got many stories about my mom being
a prostitute.
Yeah, because my mom and told me she was at that point.
And you could only play with all the way, you know, loa. Loa's the original fake taxi well he was a taxi driver. Yeah, yeah,
he was the original fake taxi. He was fake taxi, but he used to sit in the back
before they started asking women to do it. He basically just a sucker to use his
cab quite a lot. Got the act to do what you had to do back in the day, you know? Exactly. Exactly had to make ends meet. the taxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, not to to to to to to to to the to the to to the to the to the to to make, you, you, you, you, you, you're to make, you're to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make to make, you, you, you, you to make to make to make to make to make to to to to to to to to he he he he he he he he he the the the their their their their their their their their the, you, you their their the ta, their ta, their ta, their the, you tha, you their hea, you he hea, you hea, telling the tax man, fuck it. So who would be awful? It's almost your mouth rush more, isn't it?
Yeah, I was obsessed with Skinner and Badiel.
I was obsessed with it.
Oh, I love them.
And when I found out they lived together in real life,
yeah.
I used to like, just think about what it'd be like to live with Skinner and
the deal in a real thing. The the the probably awful. Love them both.
It would be intense, wouldn't it?
Yeah, no.
I got a Frank Skinner video, VHS for Christmas.
Yeah.
When I was 14, 15 maybe?
Don't know.
And obviously we'd watched him,
my parents loved comedy as well.
I think that might be one of the reasons.
So we'd watch Fantasy Football League and we'd watch the Frank Skinner show and all this. And then we got, I said, can have that standard BHS for Christmas?
Got it. Man, it was so blue, it was unbelievable. It's great, would it? He had this bit where he's like,
it's difficult for me to do observational comedy because I'm so famous. I can't go, you know when you're ushering a girl out your hotel room and she turns to you with the condom and says,
can you sign this? And he goes, I didn't sign it, didn't want to get shit on my
byro. I'm watching this with my parents.
That's a great joke. But it was so blue, just so much stuff that I didn't really even understand at that stage.
No, you were doing it, but you didn't know it's called Aino. I just thought I was a laugh.
I just thought I was riffing. Just exploring myself.
Exactly. The body is there to be enjoyed.
But Dillon Skinner. Harry Hill. Harry Hill. I loved Harry Hill. TV burp or stand up? It's stand up. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I didn't really really really really really really really really really the the the the the the th. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't really really really really really really really really really the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 didn't th. I didn't th. I didn't that. I didn't that. I didn't really that. I didn't that. that. that. that. that. I didn't th. I didn't th. I didn Hill. Harry Hill. I loved Harry Hill. TV
better probably stand up. It's stand up. I had all the stand up VHS's and then
what else would I watch that was like, I watched everything but it was stuff like
the Royal Family. I fucking loved Carolina Hearn and the Royal Family.
That was fucking great. Only files and horses. Oh man. Oh my. Oh my god. It was a great time Rob. Oh bottom. a great- Bottom, oh, Bottom, Rick Man and Edmondson,
I used to do the dance with my brother.
What we watched as young kids was totally-
The fast show was great.
I'm annoyed, but my daughter's watching Iakali.
I was watching Bottom.
It's mental what we were watching.
Like, yeah. It was insane, so much of it was so good. And Tiffany and East Enders getting killed and stuff like that.
Sorry if you're only catching up, everyone.
Oh my God, it was just a great time.
Anyway, great time to be.
There's my fireside team.
Right, give us another email.
You missed one, didn't you?
You only had Harry Hilbert but do one?
I'd have French and Sa tied together. Yeah, Perming gold, tied up. I wouldn't tie up French and swords in gold. That would be a only women
that we've picked you've tied to the goalposts. That was, should I just say is, who's your favorite comedian Zoe Williams and there was a five-aside one and I can't remember who said it but the tho th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th to thin, thin, thin, to thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, to to to to to to to to to thin, thin, the to to to to to to to to to to to to me th.

I's tie and tie and tie and tie and tie and tie and tie these boomer stories are veering into the world of abuse.
Yeah, quite bad treatment of children.
Hang on here we go.
My husband, 480 moms, recently spoke to his mom about a concert he attended when he was six.
His mom and her best friend had tickets to a Bobby Brown concert in London in the early 90s.
His mom couldn't find a babysitter so instead they locked him in the car in the venue car park.
No, no, no.
I mean I suppose Bobby Brown's done worse.
But I don't be that.
I've got home going to watch the Ted Bundy film, don't worry about the kids. Locked him in the car Locked him in the car, did they crack the window?
They left him with drinks and snacks.
Initially his mom declined this ever happened, but recently she said, yes it happened but
don't worry, we left for a cigarette break and came back to check on you.
Oh my god.
Seensex for a label, love the pod, although I listened at the gym and laugh out loud. What would you do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do th th. tho th. tho tho th tho thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, the that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi thi thi thi thia' thi thi thi thia. thi thi thi thi, initially, so look mental to others. What would you do? Like... I mean if I saw a child in a car in a car bike I ring the police immediately.
I mean no no no sorry I mean if you're the kid. Well you've got snacks and drinks but that's
two hours, three hours? Well where is the line? Because I leave my kids in the car locked in to go and pay for petrol. Do you? This is a slippery slope? Well, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. they. they. 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. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I. No. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I the. the deal is with this. Well I think now they're eight and six so it's fine but when they were little babies it was a bit like oh yeah yeah should I get them out
and bring them because they get upset and you basically not know what the deal is until you get to
a point you think fuck it and I'm sure it'll be fine. I've basically got to the point where I go. I just always try to try and get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get petrol get petrol get 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 try. try. try. try. try. try. try. their their their their their their their their their their their their their the on that decision. Yeah because also they want to go in and buy snack you end up spending another 10 quid don't you? Yeah the price of petrol station crisps. We need to talk about the size of a grab bag.
Oh, why can't you get normal size crisp bags anymore? Oh, no. So this is what's happened?
this is what's happened, Josh right? You get the gin almost one that is basically four packs, it's like the 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. thixt. the price. the price. the price. the price. the price. the price. Pri. Pri. Pra. Pra. Pra. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pr-ni. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pri. Prc. Prc. Pr-n. Pri. Pri. Pri. Pris. Pris. Pris. Pris. Pris. Pris. Pris. C. We's. Pris. We's. C. We's. We're their. We're their. P. I's. I's. P. I's. I's. P. I's. P. I'm. We's. P. P. P. We're. Pris. be bigger than normal size. Yeah. I don't know what's happened, but McCoy's grab bags, okay, yeah, and that's right, I'm naming
and shaming you, McCoy's, it's called grab bag, but now it's a normal size bag that we used
to have when we were kids, right?
But it's still called grab bag. There's about 25 grams of crisps in there, and it's same price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price price as price price as price as price as price as price as price as price as the the the the the the asers as the I take that because sometimes I just want a normal bag of crisps, I can't fucking get it.
No, no, but they should be charging more. And also, Josh, it's some fucking fried potato.
How much money are they making?
How much is a bag of crisps these days without coming across an out-of-touch politician?
It could literally be anything from 60 P to about £3. It's gone mental. It's almost. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's tho, tho, thi, thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's some some some some some some some some some some, th. It's some some some some some some some some some some some some some some, it, th. It's some some some some some some some some some some some some some some, it, it, it's th. It's th. It's th.

It's some some some some thi. It's almost like surge pricing on Uber. I don't understand the prices anymore.
This is the problem with crisps Rob. It's... What are you looking at? McCoy is on the internet.
Sorry, you could see me zoom it in. I can see you leaning in. Grab bag, 45 grams on Tesco's a quid, right?
But then if you may all deal it up, but they're smaller.
Grab bags used to be massive.
What does grab bag even mean?
Every bag's a grab bag if you're picking it up?
I know, Rob.
You have to pick it as speed?
Well, well, mate, you can't delicately pick that up.

I want the old small bag.
For the old price.
Not even an old, the old price.
I get that the problem, but for a reasonable.
I don't want a big, massive bag that's going to make me fat.
I just want a couple little crisps the size of this crab bag. Yeah, they're bigger than their head. Yeah. I'm glad we agree Josh. Yeah, it's gone too far.
The world's got to stop. Yeah, so don't get it. Grab bag. And who are these sick fucks eating
tie sweet chicken chili? Yeah. Oh it's go. I think we've done this before me. When the size and the price is reasonable, I'm a McCoy's flaming steak guy.
Oh yeah, yeah. Or a Pringle's barbecue. Yeah, I think we have done this. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Fucking now. What a life. Right, do you want another boomer? Let's hope. Hopefully this one might be a bit more fun and not child's being kidnapped.

But it was a great gig.
Bobby Brown was ungrateful.
Good to be on the right side of history for your parenting and music choice.
Exactly.
Well, I once tied my child to offense when I went and watched a Lawrence Fox speech.
They had snacks and drinks.
Here we go.
I'm 39. At of the 90s was when I really got into football. My family have a long history of supporting West Bromage Albion.
In my street, however, around this time, almost all the kids I played football with supported
Manchester United.
The prospect of having his first born as a glory hunter clearly hunter clearly chilled my dad.
So he planned some preventative measures.
One day after my weekly swimming lesson, my dad sat me down in the canteen
with a tray of chips and casually asked,
is it anything better than the food
after swimming when you're a kid?
that is crisp down in.
Here we go, here we go.
Here we go, here we go.
I replied innocently, no.
Anyway, a think, Josh. Here we go. I replied innocently, no.
My dad then proceeded to tell me that every time I watched the teenage
mutant Ninja Turtles or Ghostbusters, right at the end of the cartoon,
a quick flash of the Man United badge is put on screen.
So quick it goes unnoticed to the naked eye,
but is in fact imprinted on children's brains. Wow. Man United are currently brainwashing all the children in the country.
This is why my friend support Man United.
That is incredible.
It's so weird, isn't it?
He delivered this in such a straight manner
that my 10-year-old brain was absolutely convinced.
I thought, what a bunch of absolute mugs!
You're unaboidiants that will believe anything. And more importantly, how evil are Man United.
I proceeded to sell any Man United fan I ever met that they had been brainwashed.
Brilliant.
We never spoke about it again.
I was left convinced of this fact throughout my teens.
I asked him not long ago if he ever remembers telling me this.
And he said, yes, best bit of parent and I ever did. Brilliant. Brilliant. The irony here is I was the one being brainwashed.
Putting it on the record, I'm grateful for it.
Cheers Gary, Westbron fan and father of 2-3 who also hate Man United.
In a way, I agree with that because when the team wins, you are brainwashed.
You're brainwashed by glory.
And when you're in Westbrom and your team's not doing great and you put the the the the the the t ble and all that. It's hard not to support him so. Exactly. Do you know what? Fair play? It may be his methods are
wrong but I don't even know if his method, I mean yeah he did lie to his child and completely
events. A bit fun, I mean it. A man you know what? And no one thinks man. No exactly. No, exactly. Even. Even isn isn isn isn isn isn isn isn isn. Even. Even. Even. Even. Even. Even. Even. Even.

Well, because what happened was they glory hunted them in the 90s and now they're 47 and driving from Surrey to Manchester to watch them get beat every week.
Exactly. It's a great drive and you're winning the league. Exactly.
Do you want to do some questions Josh or... Yeah, here's a question for you. And us, all of us. We all. We all know being a parent is amazing, but what do you miss most about your life
before you had kids from Kate Dudman?
Oh, it's almost the thing I love most and hate most
about being a parent, not hate so strong word,
but- Is it the mornings?
Yeah, no, the more you an area where the kids go of school and we're building loads of traditions and structure and we do this and
My girl's sort of a really fun Easter game where like from the top of the stairs on the landing
Someone lays on the hallway and we drop maltese as from the stairs and has to land in our mouths and they came up with the name of them they call it our Malt Easter tradition. Oh nice. All that little that little that little thiiii th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. 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 st.

I's te. I's te. I'm. I'm te. I'm their their their their their their their their of themselves, they're calling it our Malt Easter tradition. Oh nice. All that little stuff is all what I love, but also having that anchor means that
if me and Lou just wanted to go and live in New York for two years or we want to go travel
around Mexico for six months, it's not possible. And you do miss out on opportunities from a
personal and career point of view. However, that's what I miss is that freedom. th. th. th. th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. 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. thea. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thi. thea. th miss is that freedom to just go right, let's just go here for however long we want. We're tired to school holidays and stuff because the kids come first.
But that is also what I love about it the most. The way we're balancing that up is we had kids fairly
young really for this generation. You're going to go fucking mental in your 50s. May, yeah, when I'm 50s, I'm going to go off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off off. their their their their their their 50. their. their 50. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their thi. thi. their, I's, I's, I'm, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, their, their. their, their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. to. to. to. to, t. t. ti. tie. today, tie. today, tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. tie. going to go off the chain. I might do heroin. And you miss heroin the most. Yeah, I just, I'm not missing, I've never done it.
But yeah, I think that is the thing I missed.
The opportunity to do heroin.
Yes.
No, no, forget heroin.
That was a throw away comment because basically I was being quite sincere and I remember
that was a comic and I panic. But yeah, I would that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th th think think think think thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi think think think think think thi I'm that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's they.

I th.that's for me is the thing that has pros and cons is that anything, you know.
Yeah, I would say, do you know what it is? This is just maybe because it occurred yesterday.
Yeah. I really miss the gap between the end of doing stuff in the day and if I've got a gig in the evening,
the ability to do nothing then. Yes. Last night I was like I've got to go out at half six and I've finished doing to do to do to do doing my my my my to do to do th th to do th th th to do th th th th to do th th th th th to do th th th to do th th to do thi thi thi doing to do thi thi their thi thi to do to do doing doing their their do their do their do their do their do their do their do their their their their their their their their their their their their their th their th their th th their th th th th th th th th th th things do do do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do things do thi thi the thi the evening, the ability to do nothing then. Yes. Last night, I was like, I've got to go out at half six and I finished doing my stuff at
five.
I needed a break and that it's the filling in just sometimes some gap to just stare at television.
I never get that anymore.
That is so important, that gap of quiet and being alone that doesn't exist.
Yeah, being alone is what I miss.
But I'm saying, it's the same with morning.
It's like, right, here we go, we're fucking off.
But I love the mornings with my kids.
And I look forward to waking up with them.
So it's like you.
Yeah. It's almost like the best thing about it,
which is that they're easing into the day by drinking a cup of tea and looking at my phone. Do you know what I love holidays with the girls now where when they were really young
it was quite a challenge and that's what we've said in our book that I really don't think
you should bother going away anywhere expensive or on a plane until they're about four.
Because you can save your money up and go somewhere amazing. I have little mini breaks in the UK just to get away or whatever or go visit friends, but now they're eight and six, even at that age, they are so excited for holiday, they are
they are so excited, they carry their bags, they can sort of their own iPad, you're not,
they're sort of on their own holiday looking after themselves a little bit. And holidays are so fun that's just four, tho and they, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, they're, they're, they're tho, thi, they're they're tho, they're tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they're, they're, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're tho. And, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're tho. they're they're tho. they're th where I think actually it gets a point where like when it's just me and Lou we'll just be like I would just go there yeah okay
then we see at a dinner going yeah yeah you know I mean he does. That's the thing isn't it?
It's like the it's this thing where you go like oh I want my bedroom back but actually I do quite like it
when my daughter sleeps in our room do you know what I mean a? A bit of quiet and a bit of freedom. Don't spend your life thinking the grass is greener. No.
Because also I'd probably go to New York with Loo and sit there go, what the
fuck we come here?
Should have no holiday. I'm sick of traveling around.
I do know what I need a bit of structure. Where are we? What are we? What are we doing? Yeah. That's a good question that. Good question. Oh, this is a good one. Someone said about the word
mood hoover for people that kill the vibe a bit or drain the energy out of the room. In
Ireland they call it the crack vac. That's good. Was that a laugh or y'allon? Both. Both. Good. I'm being so funny, you're getting tired. That's why I took
from that. I like the crackback. The crack vac. Obviously it does sound like something, you know,
sex thing. Some sex thing, yeah. Someone's sucking something out of a bummer or something. Yeah, the crack back. But he's spelled C-R-A-I-I-Cers in the-Irace as in the Irish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Went home and busies myself for the usual tea and bedtime routine for my two younger ones.
And to be honest, didn't think much further about the oldest one who was safely
to sleepover the sleepover to sleepover.
Oh my God. ringing repeatedly. In an absolute panic I looked to my mobile next to my bed which had about 10 missed calls from the sleepover mom showing. I immediately
thought something terrible must have happened, threw on a dressing gown and ran
downstairs. Sleepover mum was at the door. Don't panic but he's been throwing up for
the last hour. Oh my God. Poor elder son was sitting in the car
in his PJ's puking into a mixing bowl. Oh my God. There had been a vomiting bug going around the class in the last week and my son had
woken up in the middle of the night.
Oh poor kid, puked all over the sleep have a mom's sitting room carpet and then continued
throwing up for an hour while she tried to get hold of me on this poor kid. This is awful. This is this. This. This is awful. This is awful. This is awful. This is awful. This is awful.

Oh, anyway, she gave up calling and drove him back home in the middle of the night.
She couldn't get hold of me. My mobile had been next to my bed, but on silence so I didn't hear any calls and she didn't have our landline number.
Oh, I spent the rest of the night line on the floor of my eldest son's bedroom.

Oh, fuck it out.
Along with several of the other sleepover attendees.
Oh my God.

Sleep over mom's son later broke his arm at our house.
Oh my God!
I've falling off my son's hoverboard, which is another story that just compounds the
mortification I feel towards the mom. Hoverboards that sort of, it's not really hoverboard, it's sort, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's just, it's 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 like, the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, the th, th, th, th, is out, is out, is out, is out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out, their the the th.

quite big, thanks, Amy, almost like a segue, but... Right. Oh, God, that is bad. That is intense.
That is intense. Poor old sleepover mom. I've got an instant regret here,
if you want to instant regret. Yeah, Robin, Josh and Michael following a recent episode regarding sending a text to the wrong person. It reminded me of a text I sent to my bestie the morning after a mental night out. My bestie was called
Michaela. Still drunk and having had next to no sleep, I sent her the following message.
Ugh, I feel absolutely in caps dreadful so I'm going to call in sick to work. Also finally shag the hotty. Wait, I know. This is this. This is this. I 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. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I feel th. I feel th. I feel the the the the.

I th. I th. I th. I th. I te. I te. I te. te. te. te. te. texte. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. call in sick to work. Also, finally shag the hottie from Gigolum.
Gigulum was a crazy bar and clapping back in the day.
Finally shag the hottie from Gigulum was totally worth it though.
In my hung over stupor, I accidentally sent this to my boss.
Of course.
Michael and not my bestie Michaela.
Needless to say, I was looking for a new job pretty soon after that. Oh my God.
Love seeing you live at the O2, please do it again.
Big love Katie, age 552 moms.
Thank you.
Shaggin a hotty.
I think your boss has got to be pleased with that, hasn't they?
Oh, I'd love that.
I've sort of never really been a boss anywhere. No. But it depends on the job,
but like, if someone's phoning to seek, you like, respect actually, I used to phoning sick all the time.
Exactly. Exactly. We know what the deal is. We know what the deal is. But shagging a hot e,
that's the worst bit, isn't it? But no I think that excuses it, because you go, she got too drunk, she's been shagging all night, she's had no sleep.
Last thing I want her is coming to my ice cream parlor.
Exactly.
Putting the wrong scoop on the wrong cone.
Exactly.
Absolutely.
Do one more and then we'll do small business.
Right, one more.
So I've got most famous person to drive past you, parenting fails. Most famous person to drive past you. Hi, Rob, Josh and Michael.
I was listening to a recent episode and you asked,
who was the most famous person that ever driven past you.
In 1988, the King of Pop at the time,
Michael Jackson.
That's strong.
Was playing round Haypark in Lea.
We were driving down a one-way street with cars parked on both sides, so we had nowhere to go when a police motorbike pulled alongside us and asked us to pull over.
We didn't have anywhere to pull over and started to panic when we saw a stretched limo behind
us.
We eventually found a gap and pulled over and pulled over, and when the limo overtook a gloved
hand, came out of the window and waved, thank you. Amazing. My friends and I were screaming like children at Michael Jackson waving at us, our claim
to fame being that we nearly made him late for his own concert as we were in our very slow
Ford XR3I.
One, I don't know, XR3R.
Thanks for the last of the podcast from Chris 690 months old.
Wow.
Typed by Jade as Chris is technologically inept 211 months old.
Imagine seeing Michael Jackson 988. What a fucking...
Well yeah, to be fair if you saw him in 999 it would look different anyway.
I might as well see two people.
Too harsh? No. I think there's harsh things that you could say about Michael Jackson.
Yeah. They're not harsh. They're fair.
Yeah. Small business. Hi, Rob and Josh. Please, can I ask. small business shout for my wife Millie Roberts who runs Millie Roberts women's
health and fitness. She specializes in postnatal fitness pre-to postnatal
menopausal care and all-around female well-being. She would say that most personal
trainers would have no idea what a woman's body goes through during childbirth and the
exercises they suggest can actually do more harm than good.
Specialist advice, exercises and care are required.
She runs classes live as well as online and can be found at Millie Roberts, that's
Mille Roberts.
Robbots.
Love your work.
Many thanks.

Sten there what? Sex and Reliable Things. I'm Liv 24 years old, childless and compulsive
parenting hell listener and lover. I bingeed three series and ten days upon discovering the podcast. Geez. And was the soundtrack to finishing my uni coursework. I finished with the first.
So cheers guys. X-O. X-O. You really were the friend in my ear. I needed to get through that
lonely and difficult time, battling with ADHD and depression. I'm trying to become fully
self-employed to help me live a more fulfilling life as regular employment is a struggle for me as a neurodivergent girly. I have a small business called the Face Paint Fairy, still
in its infant stages, pardon the pun. I'm a one-woman band, professional makeup artist and provide creative
face painting and glitter services to both children's and adults, parties and
events and specialize in bringing people's personality an inner child out. I'm based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, but I'm fully mobile and happy to travel.
My Instagram is at the FacePaint Ferry.

This is How was it for you?
A review-based podcast.
We're going to be asking each other.
How was it for you?
It was pretty good, Rachel.
About all sorts of different things.
Things we've eaten.
Things we've been.
Places we've been.
People we've been, things we've smelled, people we've met sometimes, those will be, we'll have to talk about them without giving away who they were. And that will be the
challenge you as a listener can enjoy. Exactly. You can get all of the episodes
in the places where podcasts are.
