Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Widdickham. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would about the trials and tribulations of modern-day parenting, each week we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're coping. Or hopefully how they're not coping. And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with your tips, advice, and of course,

tales of parenting woe. Because let's be honest, there are plenty of times when none of us know what we're doing.

Just like him. Good boy. Oh, that was very cute. I like that one. Who was that, Josh? Uh, hello, this is from Sophie. Hi, Rob, Josh and Michael, loving the podcast. This is my nearly three-year-old son, James. Thank you for getting me through the night feeds when he was a baby. Stay sexy and relatable, Sophie from Milton Keynes. Kiss.

Very, very efficient. I like that. Not better. Yeah, it's quite efficient email. She's done a new paragraph for every sentence. I don't really know when to do a paragraph. I just sort of think it's getting quite bulky. Just feel it out, don't you? Yeah, makes it look longer. It feels like there's a lot going on in this bit. I'll just do another bit mid-sentence.

I know you need to be a full stop, but apart from that, Josh, I don't know how much Michael has put in the show so far. The pre-title, Michael. Have you done a pre-title, Michael, that's how it could be like a to the audio, but you've been very stressed. Basically you're in Paris doing the Paralympics every night you work and doing a live show and you've lost your headphones so me and Michael watched you march around your bedroom shouting I hate myself until you went to get your headphones from someone and you've got your head in your hands.

But I previously I've got a laptop that I I brought to Paris that doesn't work. Why doesn't your laptop work? I think it's just got one of those batteries that's fucked. Yeah. You know, and- Well, fingers cross, hopefully we get a little bit more successful and then we'll be able to afford a laptop. Do you've been on tonight broadcasting. You got a show tonight? Yeah yeah I'm going to the Moulin Rouge straight after this

robbed. Watch Adam Hills practice the can can. He already knows it. What is I a VT for the show? He had a Mohawk shaved into his head the other night didn't he? Yeah not I mean he's having a midT for the show. He had a Mohawk shaved into his head the other night didn't he? Yeah, not having a midlife for as always. And so you've got to go to the Moulon Rouge to watch the can can and that's some filming. So everything's been moved earlier so that's why I tried to move this earlier and then obviously we've managed to start two minutes earlier than originally planned because I'm a fucking idiot and I just can't do tech. You text me at 1 a.m. to see if I could start earlier at 845 a.m. It's quite, I didn't see the message at 6 a.m.

Well if that helps it was 2 a.m. in French China is still up. What did you do it up at 2 a.m. Well we only get back to the hotel at half 12. Oh, of course, yeah, because you've got, yeah. Yeah, so. By the time you've got into the room, thrown your headphones out of the window, I had a shit and gone to bed. It's done a quick bit of work, admin, you're asleep. I just saw the headphones, I've borrowed and thought, oh, I found my headphones. No, but they're the new. Thea. Theatheatheat. T. T. T. T. T. the the new. I. I. I. the the the th. I. I. I. I. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've. I've th. I've. I've th. I've that. I've that. I've that.

Are the ones you've got in got charged? Are they going to be all right?

I hope so. We might have to slip to the one. When I lose something, I go mad these days. You really don't like it. You were really, I'd say, end of your tether, you started the zoom call on. Would it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest it suggest. the headphones aren't the problem and it's a little bit annoying but you're quite stressed from the summer holidays? No, no yeah but no it's not actually that it's I lose stuff so often and I can't do anything about it as hard as I try and if

my mind isn't interested in something, yeah. It's just not interested in it and I can't focus on it. And that includes where I leave stuff. Yeah, but I don't think anyone's mind's interested in when their headphones are. That's not an interesting thing. No, it's not, but some people are good at putting stuff. I just blank these things. Do you need a little bag.

I don't need a little bag? You need a little handbag. I don't need a little handbag. I'd lose it. Like a little man bag. Little crossbody. I've got one from Uniclo and apparently it's the hot mum bag of the summer. Loads of people have got it. Right. I don't want the hot mum bag of the summer. I've done not lose my headphones. And I've also got of them and I tie that sometimes the actual casing to my to my phone or in the bag and then that keeps... I just don't

know where they are! Okay well you've got some headphones now. How are you? How are you? How's parented? Have you seen your kids? So you went back but you've been away, haven't you? But the kids were with you in Paris? to the too? the kids. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.

We had a rest day in the middle due to French labour laws. And you went back to London? I went back to London, 100%. That's not really restful though traveling to London and back for a few hours is it? Rob, the other options were restful. What are the other options? So basically we had a day off, right? Yeah. And everyone was going on the last. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to lond.

I like the people I work with. Oh yeah, of course, ultimate respect. You've been working them for 12 years. But in the same way I like you, Rob, yeah, I find it utterly baffling that these people want to meet up outside working hours. I think it's battling if they want to meet up outside of working hours on the one day off within a intense schedule. That for me would be a time to go and wander around Paris on my own and

chill out maybe if I could find them put my headphones in this into a podcast. But I think people like hanging out with their friends from work when it's not so intense but I would agree on this occasion. I know. If you've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their tho. tho. tho. thoom. thoom. tho. tho. tho. the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one the one their one their one their their their their their their their their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. tho. theeeeoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. the. th agree on this occasion. I know, no. That if you've got one day off in a two-week run. Yeah, each to their own Rob. From my world, in my head, I don't want to ever, when I go down for breakfast and I like these people. Yeah, how you do, yeah, you keep telling us. You don't be near them but you like them. Yeah, correct. You want to be near them. Yeah, absolutely. You'll only be near them if you're being paid to be. Tom Crane, who's one of my best friends who works on the show. Yeah. The thought of seeing him before 130. How do you think your producer, Phil,

you knocked on his door in your pajamas, trying to get his headphones out of his ears. I know. If he's a sane man like me, then he didn't want to see me. Now I get that. Yeah. I had a work colleague. I used to get on with them. I bumped into her on the commute, but very early in the commute, like still 50 minutes to work. On the tube and she had her headphones. to their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoom. thi. thi. thin. thin. thin. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I spudded her and then we just carried on with her own headphones. Yes. Just big up calf. So that's how I feel. So I went back to London. Yeah because it's two hours. Yeah true. And you're on the Eurostar which is relaxing as hell. And it's so easy to get relaxing as hell? What? That's not a saying is it? It's relaxing as the the that's relaxing as the that's relaxing as that's the fucking that's the fucking the fucking that's that's the fucking the fucking that's the fucking that's the fucking 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 their the fuck. 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 how. that's how. that's how. that's how. that's how. that's that's a that's a that's a that's a th. the the the the their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the. the. that's th. th. th.? It's relaxing as hell. No, I was going to say fuck, but I pulled myself in it. The Eurostyle is relaxing as fuck. Oh, okay. Yeah.

It's fuck. What's fuck? Sorry, I didn't know I was doing a podcast of a skater, dude. Man, that is relaxing as fuck. Man, that train. London Paris, two hours, reluctant as fuck, man. I thought fucking, a fucking spa weekend. There's a fucking train. Fuck. Posh old skater boy. Yeah, well he's got expensive in it these days. Ha ha ha ha ha. They always keep breaking them. So I went home Rob. Yeah, because it was my daughter's first day school in year two the next day.

How was she a bit nervous? Yeah, she was a bit nervous. Mine would have been a bit nervous and not willing to go to sleep the night before. Yes. Yeah, we'll come to that. Please. All right. Because that was difficult for us. Yeah. They did not want to go. No. But it's because. I'll to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to. to to. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. too. to too. too. too. th. th. too. too. too. too. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. tho. to not want to go. No, but it's because I tell you why it is Rob. What's that? Because six weeks off is fucking insane. It's fun, isn't it? Yeah. For them? For them? Yeah. I'd say I had fun, but it was challenging fun. I'd say I made a lot of great memories.

Yeah. But probably took a year off my life in doing so. What memories to have when you slip away at 51? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry, go on. So you went back. I didn't get the train too early because I was like, you know, it's my day off. I'm not going to suddenly force myself to get on the 8 a.m. train or something. Yeah, and you finished work like so what train was you on like midday? Midday, okay. Yeah, so got back at like half two or something, get home at three, my daughter needs, her new school shoes don't quite fit, so we need to go to clerks.

I feel like there needs to be another shop you can get trained. Everyone just goes to Clarks. I mean like, well, you go mark suspensers for their shoes as well, I think. But clerks, they measure them in clerks. Have they got the trademark on measuring the, because surely other shops could measure the thing. It's like, gotta go clarks to get measured. But surely, these other shops go, we could measure them, could we? No, no, no.

They've got a trademark. something out with your computer if I could get my printer working. I'll put your kids foot on that. No, no, no, you couldn't. Let's face facts. If your job today was to print out something, but you don't even know what it is yet, you have to research that, to measure your child's foot, and then get your child to stand on this bit of paper to measure it from your printer that doesn't work, and then th you you you you you you you you you think you're going to go to a shop and find shoes that fit with that method. How are you going to do the top bit? Because they measure the side, the width. They never measure the top bit, do they? They do, that's a little bit of like tape measure thing that comes round. Yeah, I don't think that's doing anything. No, fit the line. It's all about the line line. It's the the tow tow tho the line. It's tho tow tho. It's all tho. It's all the line. It's all the the tho. It's all about the the the the the the the tho the tho the tho the the tho the the the the the tho the line. It's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. It's th. It's the. It's the. It's tow line. It's tow line. tow line. tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow tow. Yeah, the only Clarks that had the shoes that she needed in the right size was in Walthamstow.

Yeah. And then she didn't actually want to come. So I got home and then I drove to Walthamstow to Clarks to buy some shoes. Alone? Rose came and Rose's mom looked after the kids. Right, okay. At least you got to see Rob. Our date, a bit of alone time was to drive to a shopping mall in Walthamstow, to go to Clark's, pick up some shoes and get straight back in the car and drive back. Also what I'd say is, Josh, that if I worked in Clark's and you came in without a child looking for a pair of size ones, I'd think, yeah, are they for him? This is all a cover story. I thought I had to tell this anecdote on the podcast to cover

the fact that I've been going to Waltham's Stowe to buy children's shoes. For your own feet? For my own feet. So you and Rose just went, that's nice. Did you have any food or drink or anything? No, no, no, I came straight back Rob. to the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. th. th. th. thi, thi. thi. th. th.

Moment I got into Clarks Rose has already bought them and then we got back in the car. Right, okay. And then so sort of just there and back. Still it was long way to Walthamstone, difficult to find parking, so it's a good hour and a half. Nice, okay, lovely. And then I fell asleep on the tapapapapapap. And to to to to to be. And to be. And then, and I, and I, and I, and then, and then, and then, and I, and then, and I, and I, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, to to to to to to toe, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, and some, and some, and some, I's, to, tot, I'm, tot, to, to, to, to, I'm, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, so, so, so, so, so, so, some, so, that stretched out because my daughter was nervous understandably. So what I find is my kids will say I've got a belly ache or I've got an itch or my leg hurts. I sort of go, but do you or are you trying to delay bedtime because you're worried about school or something? And then if I sit with them and they say my leg hurts and I'm like, well, just rest it, it'll feel better in morning or where does it hurt? thi? their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. t. t. tine, I'm tine, I'm, I'm tie. try. tie. tie. tie. tie.

It's not that easy, it's an adult, let's be honest. What is this headphone thing really about? I know there is something. It isn't just about the missing headphones, because really, if you were a little bit carowns off the producer, Alex, Adam. There's someone in that building that you know headphones,

but you are stressed. Yeah, and what's that really about? What do you think? It's about the fact that I can't control this bit of my mind and it feels like I'm going mad. And I've probably got ADHD. I mean, a lot of people have told me that. Oh, self-diagnosis, yeah. One loss of headphones. Yeah.

Yeah, no. enough comments on my Instagram when I've put them about this podcast that people certainly think that. So what you've been diagnosed us on the podcast, ADHD? Yeah, it's always coming up on my Instagram Rob. What people just say to you you've got ADHD? Yeah, Josh you've got ADHD. Fine. That's so low on my list of concerns at this moment. Look, I've got I'm doing 10 things at once. I don't need to sort that out yet. Yeah, I'm fucking out. Just let me spin all these fucking plates that stresses me out and then makes me get anxious, okay? I haven't got time to sort that out. Why treat the cause? When you can treat the other things? But yeah, like, every fucking comic got ADHD, as we know, Rob, etc. So I'm 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 have. I have. I have. I have. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I have. I'm just, I have. I have. I have just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just just just, just just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just. Just, just, just, just, just, just, just. Yeah, just. Yeah, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just. Yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I have. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm just, I have, I have, I have, I have, I have, I have, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I have, I have, I'm fucking comic's got ADHD as we know Rob, etc, etc. etc. So I think that's probably why they ended up being a comedian because of those things.

Do you know what I mean? Totally, totally. I did a show the other day with a load of comedians. I can talk about it later on but it's not been announced yet. We're basically loads of comedians and we're we're up to. And I used to think like when I met all these comedians like, oh look at us, we know best, what a life we have, we're free. We can just express us up. But now I'm like, I feel sorry for us. This is a terrible way to do because there's people out there, Josh, just ignore it. They've got their headphones on them. They're just doing normal thing. They do a job-one job at a time, Josh. They're not trying to print out their own shoe-measuring bit of paper, find their headphones drive to Wolframstow, present a show about the Paralympics,

do a podcast and write a tour that haven't announced it. No, no. Will it be announced? Will it be announced? We'll th. We'll th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they'll thi. thi. they'll they'll they'll they're they're they're they're thi. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they'll they'll they're they're they're not. they're not. they're not. they're not. they're not. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. try. try. try. try. try try that he doesn't need to, yeah. So he's really prepared. Fuck it, Al. It's so tiring, being thick. Well, you talked to a man who might crave every key he owns, Josh. Yeah, I know. Rose loved that. Oh, she really laughed at that. Oh, good.

I'm glad. She said what an old person boil them. They wouldn't boil it, they don't trust it, old people. They'd boil it, they'd boil it or air fryer. It's weird, they jumped to level, didn't they, old people? They not want to get involved in the microwave. Oh, have you gone in on the airfriar, Rob? Oh, mate. Are you one of them. I always a bit of an eye rolled with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with with. It's changed my life. Oh no, fucking hell. Another one gone. It's so good. It's so quick. It's so easy.

I don't know what it is, but turning the oven and feels like such a stress now. Like, what, I've got to do that and then turn that and it's, oh, and then I've got to open it. Oh, leave it out. Just tray, Bosch crisp stuff off. The thing I feel with the airfriar is why do I do this thing where every new thing that everyone's going to get I have to spend the first 18 months resisting? Yes. You know what I mean? I'm a bit like that with TV shows, to be honest. But the airfrier,

well I got one once we didn't really use it, I lent it to to dad and then didn't see it again. So then Lou bought another one. Because I've been trying to eat healthier. It's quite a good way to do it. So I've just been getting chicken breast with a little bit seasoning in loads of vegge and just crisping up, mega zone, max crisp, 240, 10 minutes. Sorry, what, what's mega zone? Right. So you can have a divider in it and then what that means is that you can pick two separate temperatures. So if you're doing a mill where potatoes need to be really hot for a long time, you can put down for 30 minutes but then if you're just doing a couple of fish fingers with it, you could do that for 10 minutes not as hot in the separate zones. However, if you're doing a bigger meal for a few people, bang it all in, remove. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thathea. that. that is that is that is a that is a to to to to to to that is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thoes. thoes. thoes. th.

Rather than zone one, zone two, mega zone,

max crisp. And I just do chicken breast dinner. It's lovely. You don't eat chicken though, do you, though, tofu. I reckon tofu, I reckon tofu. I reckon tofu will be good in the air fryer. Yeah, but the worst thing about tofu is it's too wobbly, isn't it? That's the thing I don't like, the way it moves.

It looks like a baddie out of Ghostbusters. Oh, it's the way it tasks as well. Yeah, I know, but I think Josh. Here he fucking is, Tom Carriage kicking around with his, now you got your air fryer, which I'm never on the subject. At the risk of sounding like I'm trying something new on you, why don't anyone cook avocados? Oh, here we go. Always raw.

theyvera. . the the that, tell us what they cooked avocado was. I'm going to put a whole avocado in the oven and see what happens. And imagine how hot that pipple get. Ha ha ha. So you're just going to boil it with the skin on? I'm not going to cook an avocado. I'm not going to cook an avocado. Then it was bedtime. I'll google it. the time. I' I' I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll time. time. the the th. th. I'll the th. I'll th. I'll the th. I'll the the th. I'll the the the the the I'm sure. So I went to Clark's. Yeah. Then it was bedtime. Yeah.

So bathtime to bed time just went on and on. Yeah. Got downstairs about quarter nine, nine-ish. Had to take away. Went to bed. What did you have? Indian. Went to bed.

About half-nine, quarter to ten because I retired. Yeah. And then came back. What time to come back? I'd leave at quarter of eight the next morning. And then did you ever show that night in Paris? Yeah. It's quite a weird return to the UK in many ways. I'd call that a horrible day off. No because it was really, really nice Rob to go home. For an hour and they drive to Wolfram's though. For an hour? Do you know what? I don't like being away. I'm really bad at it.

No, I think that's what's stressing you out a bit here. But you're going to go on tour. Yeah, but the thing about the UK is, people when you say you're going to go to go to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on tooom on their their their their their their to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go on to go a tour bus and not being seen for three months. Yeah. Most nights you come home when you're touring in the UK. Yeah, true. Yeah. So you're going to just do that. Like, if you're willing to get home at 2 a.m. you can get home most nights.

going to pickpocket my headphones at the wheelchair tennis, surely to God. Well, quiet getaway. Just rubber on tarmac, you won't hear it. Rubber on clay. I did get conned Rob by a vending machine. Got conned? Yeah, conned. By a vending machine? Yeah, on the cruise down the same. Okay. So there was a vending machine, but it's all in French, obviously. And it was a tap one where you tap your card. And it wasn't working the first two times.

And the third time, it gave me a bottle of water water water water water hope so I went back for two more times. I couldn't get it to work. And then it was charging me five euros every time, Rob. No. Yes. It's a con to get the water for five euros, never mind not to get it. I know, but you're just stuck on a fucking boat. Yeah. I spent 25 euros on a bottle of water. I've spent that in a bottle of thirty. I. I. I. 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 th. I've th. I've th. I've thirty.

And thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' the. And that situation? Oh the French won't give a fuck. They would not give a fuck. I heard of that, an English tourist. Oh, a vendor machine cost me too much money. Fuck off. And then my daughter was complaining that, you know, that she hadn't got the chocolate bar. And I was like, I've just spent 25 euros here mate. When I call her mate, she knows she doesn't like that. If I'm their their their their their their 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 told. I'm told. I'll. I'll. I'll told.

If I'm incredibly stressed I'll call her mate and she'll go don't call me that. Right in what situation so if you I go but I want the chocolate dad can I have the chocolate I don't want the water can I have some chocolate now but I don't want

the world because it's from the machine that's a good example please I'm not you said I could have to have some to have to have the the the the the the the to have to have to have to have to have to have the to have to have to have the to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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 to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the told the the the try. the try. the the the try. the the the told. told.

But that was Walter, can you have to try the chocolate? That was the water, can you try the chocolate one? That was the water, can you try the chocolate one? Don't Rob, it's you Rob, that's why I can do that. You do say, mate, when you're a bit stressed, don't you? I do.

How many more shows have you got left? Four. Okay, oh, nearly there, then. It's a lot of late nights. It's a lot of pressure and stress doing live TV. Oh, it's not. Do you know what, they're though, though, we're doing a rematch today. I've got to get beaten up again. Josh, I watch this. You just let the gladiator hit you and fall over. I reckon give her a proper dig. That's why we're doing the rematch because people accused me of taking a dive. You did take a dive. I didn't take a dive. I've. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

And it's okay because there's a rematch. No. You're giving the people what they want. You were a good broadcaster. You took a hit and you thought I don't really want to hurt this lady. So what I'll do is I wait for her to hit me half. to hit to hit to hit to hit to hit me to hit me to hit me to hit me ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Rob there was absolutely no worries about me hurting fury from gladiators. Right, okay but she's absolutely ripped. Did you or did you not

think that'll look hard enough to knock me down? No I didn't think that I'm misbalanced. Yes you did you misjudged. So you did. How you're going to approach this gladiator jewel then? Go for it? I just yeah for whatever. I've not given it any thought. I'd hit her as hard as I possibly could on the top of the thigh. On the top of the thigh? And then work your way up. It's a midsection shoulder and she's still going for it. Swinger at her head. You've got helmets on, you've got jewels jewels, it's a Paralympics. If. If. If.

Come on. You've got to give it some.

That's true or quality Josh. I have. It's a jewel. Good luck. Yeah. How are you, Rob? How am I? Happy for the kids to be back at school.

I've loved it though. I feel like me and the the the the conversation in six weeks so as we start to talk even at night when you're in bed you'll say something like what you're doing and then you're trying to organize something and then you hear mom dad so that that that cutting through yeah it's quite difficult but we had a really good time went to center parks as well for a few days in the summer. I don't know if I spoke about that, did I? Yeah, fun. Do you know what? It is fun, but I do like sometimes, I do things overpriced in the summer holidays. It's mental for what you're actually getting. I've never been, so taught me through what you're paying. All I know is it's like double when it's not school holidays. It's it's dynamic pricing Rob. to their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thine, thine, thine, thine, thine, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thian, thia, thia, thia, thia, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, I's th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin. thin. thin. thin. thin, thin, thin, thin, to to to the to me, thin, their, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, I's thin, I's thin. I's th dynamic. As performers that sell tickets on ticket master and websites, I've always been asked

if I want to do dynamic pricing or not. Have you? I don't think I've been asked. You get asked. It's a new thing and that's because it weren't around when you did your last tour, but dynamic pricing, you do get asked and you pick you either decide to do it or not. That's all I know about that. Yeah. Anyway, center parks. So my problem with center parks is, I think it's way too expensive in some holidays, which is frustrating. Kids love it though. We had a brilliant. So I went to one Elvedon, went on the zip line thing. That was brilliant. The food and drink. I just find it unnecessarily expensive. Is it good food and drink? Okay, I'd say. I mean, I'm. I'm. the the the the the the the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. the food. th. th. the food. the food. the food. the food. th. th. th. I'm. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I'm. I'm. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I'm t. I'm too. I'm too. I'm too. I'm too. I'm too. I too. I think. I th. I like the some of the food is all right

Hux is quite nice which is like a American diner type place but then the other some of the other stuff is the curry house is you know not great at all. Anyway but I think it's better price and the beds and the pillows are so so uncomfortable it's like what the fuck you bring your own pillow Rob I would have a problem the the problem the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. I the the the their is. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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. they. they. the they. the the the the the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the that. And then the problem was, it was so hot as well because it was summer. But I know it's a woodland environment, but there's squirrels everywhere, Josh. And we couldn't have any windows or doors open because the squirrels come in. And now I'm not talking, squirrels would come in like half a centimeter across the threshold, hoping a nuttip.

I'm talking like a.m. in the morning, a squirrel was climbed through the window in my kid's bedroom and he's on the bed. I'm talking like squirrels from a horror film. And I know you're in the woods and you know, whatever. And there was a mouse in the kitchen as well, which is not what you want. And I know it's a wood squirrel. Scirrel. Scorrel the horror film. And Yes, it's a squirrel on the bed. How do you get rid of a squirrel on a bed? You basically have to shut all the other doors to things and just sort of like corral it out of a wait. Yeah, wait basically. But the problem was I weren't sleeping because the pillows are so uncomfortable and we couldn't have a window open to go call down because of the squirrels. So we were like locked in I was so the squirrels. the the the screws. so so so so so so so so they they they the screws. the screws. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. the squirrels. they they they they they they they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their out out out out out out out out out out so so their. their. their their their their their. their their their their their their their their th. their th. there. theree. theree are are th thrl. th th thrown. th th thrown. th th th the the the the thrall tho thrall tho the thrall thes, they need, what I think they need is squirrel mesh. So you can have your door open and let the air come in, but also a mesh, so the scrawls can't come in. Yeah, that's what they need. But the actual in center parks, when you go if you go somewhere hot and you're around a pool and it's like kids, the activity today is go in that pool and we'll sit here having a drink.

That is more relaxing than we are now going to climb up to the top of a zip line and zip line down and then go archery and quad biking and then. The last thing you need after gladiator this is more. It was mental. But. But. But. But. But. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the today. It's the last thing you need after Gladiators. This is more simple. But we had a really good time, but I've struck, I've gone after take my own pillow and the squirrels are an issue because it sunk. I just think if you're paying that much money, I think they need to up their game a little bit with, you know, accommodation. Do you know what the because it's six weeks but you don't have to but it's incredibly helpful to go away than some holidays. You've got to break it up with something whether it's play dates or visit in families. You've got to

you can't just do like right let's get up go to the park every day. Going somewhere during the summer holidays is so expensive compared to normal time it feels a rip off. Yeah and it's so fun't the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu the thu thu thu. thu- thu- thu- thu- thu- thu- thu- th. th. thu th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th the the the the thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu to thu to to to to thu to to thu to thu thu thu to the summer thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu th compared to normal time that it's it feels a rip off. Yeah and it's so fucking busy. Yeah, it's the worst time to go because it's too busy and the most expensive. It's like what the fuck's going on. It's just like I know. The fines are going up to take kids out of school. Do you know I just think we need to stagger our summer holidays across the country in some way so that we can all just not have a horrific, like, it's just too long with everyone trying to do the same thing. Yes, and it's too busy where everyone's there and also that it's too expensive because of

the supply and demand. Josh, this is basically, what we're experiencing here is, we'll be frustrated by this until the kids are 18 and then we'll be fucking loving it when we go away in September and it's dogs cheap. And then we'll be like, no no no no, no no, don't do that. Yeah, all these fucking losers. We're just in the trenches at a moment because that's what we have to go away. But yeah, I think it's bang out of order, to be honest. Now I do think Santa Parks is a great trip if you've got kids that are too young that aren't in school, because you can get really good value holidays there. Like if you're going like February and it's a bit cold but then you can have to fire

on and make it cozy and it's not school holidays. It's quite cheap and quite a good thing but I just think in the sun I don't I don't I don't I don't think it's worth it in the summer holidays. Talking of cold, Ross, I'm fucking, I'm gagging for autumn. You're too hot. I'm absolutely ready. Hello. Not too, I just had enough summer. I'm such a big fan. I don't think anyone else in this country's had enough of it.

I have to argue they haven't had it. I have too much summer. At what point you're overwhelmed with summer? But mid-July. Mid-July. Yeah, okay. You love autumn, no, you love a jacket. I love all them. I love the seasons, Rob. I love the seasons.

I love autumn winter. Do you know what my favorite season is? The next one. Have you met me? I'm always longing for something that I haven't got. All that I used to have. Headphones. Fonk, you know, don't bring it up again. I'm so angry about those headphones. They are in this room somewhere. They've got to be. Me and Luehatt looked after, when was at the center parks, my brother was there of his 18 month, baby, th.... to. to. th. to. I. I, to. th. to. th. I, th. th. I, th. th. I, th. th. I, toe. th.

She's really cute and we looked after her for like three and a half hours or something when they went to like this Aquasana thing.

Yeah. I forgot how hard it is having like an 18 month old. A 18 month old. I've fucking done it again, 18 month old. Here we get away in. An old classic. Oh, he's rolling out the hits! Are you too playing Sunday, Bloody Sunday? Of course they are. You're listening to Perrin' Hell's Greatest Hits So we go back and repeat some of some of the

Let's remember when I built a trampoline. Remember the traffic like that Josh said never turned green. Oh, come and join us for a run down on some of to to to to to to to the greatest the greatest to to some the greatest to some to some the greatest to some to some the greatest the greatest to some Josh said never turned green. Oh come and join us for a rundown of some of the greatest hits. Honestly you are a bit closer to it because you're young as is quite young but she can't really talk yet she does a few words and you can sort of work out what you want but she just wanders around it looks like she's about to fall over at all times but when it's your kid you know when they're they're a bit more used to it. But obviously we were like, we didn't want them to come back and she's got bruised and red. She just hunched over and by the end I was so exhausted Josh.

I just don't know how people are doing it when you've got like an 80. Oh, it's mad. It does get easier. It gets so much easier parenting is it doesn't get easier, it's just difficult in different ways. Fucking bullshit. No, I agree with that. No, no, Rob. It gets physically easier. But mentally harder.

No, it's never as difficult as the first six months. I'm sorry. Tell me that, sorry that your child being, you know, bad at maths is worse than them waking up five times of the night. I'm sorry, but I refuse, I refuse to exap- Yeah, not that. I don't think it gets harder. It gets difficult in different ways, where it's like... It does get difficult in different ways, but difficult in easier ways. Why no, because right, what the juggling of plates of stuff you've got to do which Lou to be fair takes most of that hit on is like what they wear in for school, what do they need what clubs are they up to, what parties at the weekend? Who's that? What's that? What are they doing? Well, you've got homework, you need to do that? That inthen just when they're hungry give them

time to eat. But it's exhausting. Rob give me a uniform tie-in-table any day when the naps in a day when the nap drops you're telling me it's harder with a four-month-old right than like a 18 two-year-old that's still not receiving properly and has dropped their two naps and he's just looking at you go, huh? All day? No, I'm saying zero to 18 months. Yeah, I'm saying it's a tea to 18 months, yeah, is harder than anything that I've experienced since. 18 months to about two or three years is harder because you start with energy from zero and then after 18 months it's not exciting anymore. Like oh I've got the cute baby. Oh it's great isn't it? So the novel is gone. The first six months

you're in a haze of like oh my god we've finally got this it's amazing it's amazing it's like oh they've all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all they've they've they've they've they've got oh oh and it's like, oh, they've done this, or they've done that, and then 18 months to two or three, it's just brute, you are just following them around, and they are launching themselves at danger every second. It's four month hold, you're sireter, it's hard because you're ages and you can like segment them up or one of the options is they're all hard in different ways and let's see what. Right, okay. I think that's a good way to do it. Put it to the test.

Put it to the test. But I like to say like the physical exhaustion is bigger early doors and then I do think once there's six, I think between about seven that's a a th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi. their thi. thi. thi. thi. their thi. thi. thi. tho. 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 thi. their thi. thi. thi. thi. tough. toge. toge. tough. tough. toge. toge. toge. toge. toge. toge. th. the. the. th think between about seven to 1213, I think that is a little bit of a chill period. Because they look and look after themselves, brush their teeth and all that kind of stuff, and they haven't hit the teenager age, and they haven't started like going to be, and getting the bus to school, you know what I mean? And that is a massive worry in that way way is difficult. Oh yeah. Oh I'm not saying that one's going to be. I feel like with a six-year-old and eight-year-old, I mean quite a fairly, I'd say that's probably the easier period.

I'm in right now. Well that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It does get easier. Yeah, but then harder again, but you're faced with different different different different different different different different different different different different different different different different. You are faced with different challenges. Yeah, but if you've got a nine-year-old that comes home and says, oh, no one talks to me at school, no one plays me at school, right? And you've got to try and help them navigate that, right?

Which happens, and it's horrible. That is insanely difficult. Do you know what I'd say? Do you know what I'd say? Get on with it, mate, you. their, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to their, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me, to to to to to to me, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to 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, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to.o., too. to. try. thea. try. too. too. too. too. too, the good thing is you sleep through. Now let's watch some TV. Yeah, but then they're not sleeping through because they're not going to bed because they're worried. You'd swap that in that moment for, I'll follow them around a soft play. Just going, eh, I can't have some cheese. Ah, you can have some cheese. You can have some cheese. You can have some cheese. You can have the the cheese.. the cheese. the cheese. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their to have to have to have to have to have to go go go go go go go to go to go to go to go to go to go go go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their th th the. the. the. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the high chair, job done.

Oh, it's 11. You're going to go and sleep for two hours? Okay, brilliant. What's that? Three, you're going to sleep for another two hours? Pathetic. We'll put it to the vote. We'll put it to the vote.

We'll put it to be going to all the time and you're still trying to go work, still trying to like get to the gym or do the stuff you would normally do and see your friends as well as like spend the kids make sure they're happy. So like, they've a day like we've done a lot of lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo and the little their their th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th. And th.

And then t is a sunny day the kids are playing the garden they're happy and then I just like my kids just losing their mind and then your house can immediately turn into like a you know bore war war field hospital and you've got to try and treat this job she basically kneeled on a bumble thing. So she's got his massive red like well and a knee. Is the bee still attached?

No, bees got, B was dead but the sting was it so it wasn't fully in. So anyway, she's screaming, screaming, screaming and we've got like a cold thing on her leg because it's sore and raised. But basically we're trying trying trying trying trying trying trying trying to to to to trying to thying thying thi thi thi thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's the thi's got thi's got thi's got a thi's got a thi, I's got a thi, I's thoom-like, I's their their their their their their their their their their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a the the the thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi's a thoom-a' tho'a'a'a'a'u-a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'n't, we're trying to give her this some like piratin stuff, but it's a bit orangey flavor. It's not like, nice like cow pole. So we're trying to give her this. I don't like it. I don't like it. It's disgusted. I don't like, you've got it.

You've got to have it. You've got this I grabbed a milkshake so like you have some of this and have this milkshake straight after okay and then that will take the horrible taste out your mouth okay so anyway it goes on and on and on and eventually we get a lunch you know you're having to breathe so you don't lose your temper get get to have this a bit of it before she has more and then give them a medicine and 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 the medicine the medicine the medicine the medicine the medicine the medicine then then then the the then the the then then then then then then then then then then then then th I I th I'll th I'll then then then th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th 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 th I th I th I th is thin thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thee the the thi the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's ugs on this milkshake. Drinks those milkshakes. It's disgusting, it's a casket. I was like, well I saw a milkshake. It's fizzy, it's fizzy, it's disgusting. I'm fizzy.

It's just a bit, it's a bit. And it's disgusting. Have you tried it? It's like an orange nice, but it isn't horrific, you know I mean, it just isn't strawberry syrup essentially. It's busy, I'm like just absolutely like I keep giving this fucking milkshake Josh, right? Anyway, she's got her, like she's reacting where it is, I task, it's fucking rotten. The milkshake? The milkshake? Two months out of date.

Oh my god. Obviously because we're in a panic, I just grabbed it from the bottom of the fridge. So now I'm feeding a fucking off milk. She's got, it's fizz. It's fizzy. It's fizzy. It's fizzy. I was like, I don't know. I don't know.

I'm just, I'm sorry. Now she thinks her medicine tastes fizzy because I don't want to tell it was that off milk chamber. It's like, oh gosh. Not ideal. And how long did the bee sting last? It wasn't too bad actually. I think because the bee was dead, it was just like, and the bee wasn't like attacking her as such. She sort of lent on it and jumped, the b. the b. the b. the b. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, I, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was like, I was, I was, I was like, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was like, was a.

She sort of lent on it and jumped off quickly. So she had a lump but basically once we put a cold flannel on it and she'd had a medicine. She didn't really mention it again so it weren't too bad. So it can be bad if you react to it certain ways but yeah. I might be a was a waltz maybe then because bees normally a bit more brutal don't they? Yeah I don't know you haven't been stung in ages. their ages. their ages. their ages. their ages their ages. th. Yeah. Yeah. th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

Oh, no, really?

Well, I said to Rose, I keep getting mosquito bites, and you're like, I don't think, and then she was like, what, in Paris? Do you don't think it's bed bugs? There's not mosquitoes in Paris, is not mosque-and don't come through like the lobby, do they? So I think I've got bed bugs. And Paris is known for bed bugs. Oh yeah, of course it fucking is. Unpopular opinion. I think Paris is disgusting. I like Paris. Certain bits of it are beautiful, obviously. And if you find a nice little cafe, but if you take it as a whole and especially the touristy tourst tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist tourist touristy touristy touristy touristy touristy tour of the problems with this over here, right?

Right, go on for Arge, give it to me. Obviously everyone's, everyone's meeting up. It lacks on the coast, are they? Do you want my daughter today and it sounded wrong, but it was fair enough point, but you know when a kid's, they moan a bit. And they went, the thing, Dad, they've just got to salt these dinners out. First of all, stop the curry.

We give it to her to she don't to to to to to the to the to she to to to the to to the the to the to the the to the the the the the the the the the the the like it, but she's like, a white girl going, stop the curry. It sounded like a Tory slogan, you know, stop the boughs, and I know what she meant, you know, that she also carried it on going, stop the jacket potatoes, stop the pizza, just give you pasta and rice, you know. But a jacket potatoes surely are bland enough, aren't they? they? Well I know she does not like jacket potatoes. She likes mashed potato but not jack but she's very fussy it's painful. I think we're the problem but yeah what can you do?
