Hello, I'm Rob Beckett. And I'm Josh Willicombe. Welcome to Parenting Hell, the show in which Josh and I discuss what it's really like to be a parent, which I would say can be a little tricky. So to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better 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.

Mia, can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett. And can you say Josh Widdecombe? Josh Widdecombe. Arlo, can you say Rob Beckett?

Rob Beckett. And can you say Josh Widdecombe? Josh Widdecombe. Well done. Very efficient there, and crafts going on, Josh Widdecombe? Josh Widdecombe. Well done! Very efficient now and crafts going on Josh did you notice? Crafts, always crafts. Life is crafts. Hi Rob and Josh

here are Mia and Arlo 28 months Arlo 4 years Mia. Say your names Mia wasn't impressed by Arlo's efforts so insisted she have a go. I played the latest intro for her and she's desperate to hear her voice on that thing, no pressure. You stop counting months like two years, don't you?

We spoke about this before, people get stressed about development. We've covered this, that's why people are putting the months in. Because they're a bit behind on walking or talking or something, aren't they normally? No offence Arlo, not having a dig mate. But normally if you are keeping going with the months, they're not hitting something that a three-year-old should, you know. No, I think, because Cathy's put 376 months for herself. We've been doing this as a trope of the show, Rob, for the last four years. Cathy's a fucking mess.

No, but I'm talking about the... No, as the adults is a part of the show, that's funny. Oh, right, all right. But when you're talking about your actual children... Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She said four years older than 28 months, which is like two and a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's... years older than 28 months, which is like two and a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's what is it? You'd just say two, wouldn't you? Yeah. By saying 28 months, she's made him older. Is she worried he's developed too fast and she thinks- Potentially Arlo may have. He's so advanced, she's worried that saying two shall look like a show off.

Now, I've got a slight issue with the name Arlo and now I don't want this to be an absolute Arlo bash. I was about to say when I read it out, I love the name Arlo. I love the name Arlo. I think it's a great name, but I used to live in Hither Green. There was a cafe called Arlo and Moe and all the name Arlo reminds me of

is having Eds Benedict depressed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What a way to be depressed. Why are you depressed? No, I was just tired and exhausted. Hungover? No, we were having a baby. It was when we had a little baby. We used to go, we were like, let's go there then because we've got nothing in.

And we'd sit there fed up eating lovely food. Just so tired and fed up. Oh man, it's weird isn't it? Anyway, big up Harlow. Big up Harlow. Big up. What is Harlow. Big up. What is Harlow? Harlow is a place in Essex.

Is it? And would they call it Harlow? Like locally? Harlow. Yeah they would. But my friend's sister's got a child called Harlow. Harlow? Yeah, but added the H.

With the W as well? Yeah. Oh wow. Yeah. I've been listening to and forcing my husband to listen to me retell every funny and funny anecdotes and what just how badly you read the hell I know I know it's childish and I listen to me retell every funny anecdotes and some point in 2021 I started listening with some horror while pregnant with my second while Rob repeatedly told Josh how much worse his life was gonna get

Going from one to two. Yeah, love the pod It makes my busy London commute that much more bearable from Kathy 376 months in Croydon stroke Sorry, depending on who you ask lovely big up stop saying big up Rob. That's very nice Well, yeah, that's a thing is weird because I technically still live in London, but it's not London. No you don't, it's not London. But no, I know, I know. You little inner-city wankers. What I'm saying is, I know, but I still get, I'm still allowed a vote on the London mayor.

Yeah. So how does, if I'm not in London, why are they asking me? Well yeah, exactly. That's what I think. I don't think you should have a vote either. Um, how have you been? Um, busy weekend. And I don't want to steal your catchphrase but Lou was away. Oh yeah? What was she doing? Bank holiday? Yes, so the bank holiday she went to Amsterdam with some friends for a couple of nights. So Lou was away Saturday and Sunday so it went too bad but I lost a plot a bit.

It's hard on your own isn't it? Did you? Yeah. Do you want me to run you through my weekend of what went on? More than I've ever wanted anything. Okay, well, I'll tell you, the low light of the weekend was, I was getting quite stressed on the Saturday, Sunday evening. The kills were bickering quite a lot. They're at that age now where they bicker and they've been a bit mean to each other.

And then, like, the older one doesn't want the younger one to do stuff. Because they used to play really well together, but there's a little bit of a changing of the guard to here where the older one wants to do her own thing. And they were being a little bit annoying and they knew Lou was away. So they'd want something. And if they didn't get it, they'd sort of just kick off

knowing that I'd crumble. And I had, I basically, I became prison bitch immediately when Lou went. Cause when Lou went on a Saturday morning, that my older girl was going to a friend Lou went on a Saturday morning, my older girl was going to a friend's house for a birthday party, then a sleepover. So I was like, well, I'll do stuff with you to my youngest

and go out and do stuff that you want to do kind of thing. And it sort of just turned into she got whatever she wanted because I always felt like, because she was, Lou was away and the other one was at a cool party. But then that just ascended to me being the prison bitch and just saying yes to everything. And then it got annoying by the end because I actually became a little bit bratty.

And then Sunday evening, I was like getting a bit annoyed. And I said, I was like, no, yeah, just do that like that. And then my youngest went, daddy, is it easier when mommy's here? And I said, yes, actually. What made you say that? And she said, cause you seem very stressed. Oh.

So it's good that they can see the stress. Yeah. Yeah. So that hurt. What did you say to that? I said, yes, it is easier when my mum is here. Yes. Did you say, what, when she said you seem very stressed?

I said, I am a little bit stressed. I went, I just, I'm doing, but they would, they were just taking a piss a little bit of what they wanted all the time. And I was, I'm doing, but they were, they were just taking the piss a little bit of what they wanted all the time. And I was, I should have stayed strong. And then it just, I basically, I was tired as well. I haven't been sleeping very well. My youngest keeps kicking up, basically changing her bed.

She's in this bunk bed thing with like a slide on it, but she's too big. It's like, you know them tiny bunk beds? Right, yeah, yeah. Not a normal single bunk bed. It's almost like a smaller, toddler size one. She's too tall for it now. She's not really sleeping well, but uncomfortable, but I don't know if she's not sleeping She just always wants to be in bed with us Get in your bed

Yeah And then I let her get in the bed because there was a way as a treat on the thing Yeah on the on the first night because our sister was asleep over then that descended She's just been in the bed with us for last last like three nights now. Does she go in the middle? No, no, when Lou was away. But now when Lou came back, I just went, she came in the middle of the night. My fault, I put a playlist on which is a playlist called Calmly, which is normally like spa music. However, I clicked Calmly Radio instead of Calmly Podcast and she woke up absolutely petrified because there was

a thunder and lightning storm that come on. I don't know who these sickos are that put thunder and lightning on to go asleep but they're around here. Oh I love that. I'd love that. Yeah, lunatics, absolutely lunatics. So she come in petrified thinking that the tap was running because she could hear rain and then I realized I put the wrong thing on so it's easier for me to go into her bedroom now and her bed currently now. So were you on the small toddler? Yeah so at the moment the bed's gone so now we are sleeping on toddler mattresses on the floor. All right so you're not up high?

I'm not up high no. So my next question was are you getting the slide down in the morning? So then last night I just slept on the floor on this tiny mattress with my arms and legs off it So just like my midsection like a bodyboard, you know them bodyboards. Yeah. Yeah, so so I sit like that So she woke up in the night, but then that was my fault So I'm a bit a bit tired and I was bit snappy and I just got and then everything so, you know I don't think I was sort of slightly wrong Don't go to Sanctuary's to get these little robots things

They're like little figures that you put a pound in a little machine that's by the tills at St. Dries. So I went in there. I had to, you could only get change from one where they sell cigarettes and vapes. Anyway, I get there, I go, I know we're not allowed to give out change anymore because there've been scams.

I was like, mate. What? You've got coin machines in the shop. All I want is, like, I just want a cup. And I nearly, I just went, and then I went, I queued up for ages, I've promised him these, and in the end she took pity on me. And yeah, how, she was like, oh, I'll do it for you this once. I was like, you're giving me 10 coins for a tenner note and it's going straight in your

machine. Oh, thanks for the favour. Thanks for helping me out. Rob, you do seem a bit stressed. I am stressed. Well, this will cheer you up. If you want on a similar subject, because I just thought on the same subject, we've got our children sleeping in our room. Yeah.

Because my son's, he's too big for his cot now. Yes, okay. He's not, doesn't like it. No. And so we've ordered my daughter a bunk. Not bunk beds, but just the captain's bed. Yeah, like a captain's bed. Yeah. That has a desk, but I think it can have also a bed below it. Yeah, like a folding situation. They're quite good fun. Does she definitely want to sleep up high though? Yeah, well,

she's wanted this for years. So she. Yeah, I'll give her six months. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And he's gonna get her bed. Yeah, okay, that's a good spot. But it's a two week wait. So she's in her normal bed. No, if he's getting to sleep on our floor, she gets to sleep on our floor as well

because obviously she's like... You're okay because she's... So we're currently going through two weeks of them on our floor. Right and have they got mattresses on the floor? Blow up one? Yeah, no we've got like futons with a mattress topper, it's quite nice. Yeah that's nice, okay and they're loving it. They're loving it Rob but my problem is I like to read when I get into bed.

So are they in your room or Rosie's room? No they're going to Cornwall. There's only three of us in the house. Oh, we're all in the same room. Yeah, just keep you warm. Yeah, exactly. Because I've turned the... Finally now Rosie's gone, I've turned the heating off.

Yeah, yeah. Apart from that radiator, will your window open next year? It's on. Unbelievable. It is fucking boiling. No, Josh, this is what's going to happen for the whole summer. This happened last year. I turned the whole thing off, and Rose's mum and Rose agreed to turn the heating back on.

It's boiling hot. Oh, the last couple of weeks. She said, no, your heating should be off now. I know, Rob. Just put a fucking jumper on Rose. Yeah. And Rose's mom. So I can't, I need to read in bed before going to sleep, but I can't turn the light on.

Because it wakes the kids up. Yeah. So I went on Amazon Rob. Head torch. No. Head torch, please head torch. So I've got one of these. This is me at night.

Right, so what it is, it's like a little... You click that on to... Oh, it's a light that you click onto the book itself and then light up. I like it! Do you like that? I think it's a good idea. I sit in the dark... Yeah? ...and I do that. That's good. That is good, isn't it?

That's great. I'll show you a picture of me at night. Okay. This took it. You what? The kids? That is good isn't it? That's great. I'll show you a picture of me at night. Okay. This just... You what? The kids. No, this is my view when I'm in bed.

Right, okay. Look at that. This is the future. Oh yeah, that is... I've wanted one of them actually. Eight quid. Tell you what. It's so good.

Send me one. You know what, I'll get you one. And I've also bought three books Rob, to go with it. What are you reading? Oh, those fake AI books. We shouldn be giving them attention. I don't think they're ripping people. Oh If you buy you're an idiot, yeah, you shouldn't be a 40 page AI book about minor celebrities Well, I'd say yours is the story of Rob Beckett is a mosaic of moments each colored by the hues of humor humanity and heart That's nice, isn't it? Do you think that is true? Whatues of humor humanity and heart. That's nice isn't it? Do you think that is true?

What's that the humanity and heart? Do you want to know what the last line about you is? Yeah go on this is my AI biography that they're flogging. I'll get no money from. With a heart full of gratitude and a spirit of adventure burning brightly within him, not this morning, Rob Beckett set forth into the unknown, ready to embrace whatever the future held, for in the end, he knew that the journey was not about reaching the destination, but about embracing the beauty of the path along the way.

Yeah, sort of, but that... Everyone knows that that's how you should live your life. It's not happening, is it? Sometimes the path stinks of dog shit because Lou's been away and then Lou hasn't picked any up for a week. That may have dreaded the weekend about the dog shit situation, Josh. Me and Lou had hasn't picked any up for a week. That my ad-read at the weekend about the dog shit situation Josh, me and Lou had a... Oh yeah go on. Lou did...

No I don't want to fall out of Lou's listens but shh. I think it's fair to say that we all do certain things in the house more than others you know. Yeah but you'd hope that it balanced. I honestly think, I honestly think in 2024 Lou has up, I'd say seven to eight dog shits. In the house? No, in the garden. In the garden. They don't go in the house, in the garden.

Right. I'd say one dog does two or three a day. So this isn't on walks? No, this is in the garden. In the morning, they go for a poo and they might have one in the evening and maybe one in the, like, they have a couple of poos a day a dog, right?

Yeah. And you watch them and then pick them up there and then or you just pick them up when you see them Well, that's it. The idea is you pick them up when you'd see them doing it That is the idea or you'll go out every morning or every evening or if you go and get one you get the others and you Sort of do it every day. Yeah, but ideally straight after so you can get it straight away Yeah, okay, you know we'll go away for a week Josh. So there's a week's worth of dog shit there. So what's happening? No, no, they're just I think I think you've skirted over the numbers I'd have to give in you Occasionally we'll go away for a week, Josh. So there's a week's worth of dog shit there. So what's happening? No, no, no, I think you've skirted over the numbers

I've given you. Yeah, no, no. Okay, so it's May, so how many days have there been in the year so far? About 150. About 150. No, about 120, sorry. 120.

120, so you're saying a dog, say a dog on average does two poos a day. Yeah. Right, how much for one dog? So there's 120 days so far. So 480 poos. 480 poos. But some of them will be done on walks. Yeah, Right. How much for one dog? There's 120 days so far. So 480 poos. But some of them will be done on walks. Yeah, some. Okay. Okay. Okay. Half it then if you want. Okay. 240. 240. Right. She's picked up and then half hers because some of them

she might have picked up on a walk. She's on four or five poos. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It's not, it's not a fair. No, no, no. We've had a conversation about that and we've come to an agreement. And what's the agreement? The agreement is that I imagine, Lou will, I imagine that Lou will pick them up for the next week or so and then we will fall back to time. So what's her issue with picking them up? Everyone's, it's shit.

I don't do it because I love it. It's not my thing. Well it is. Anyway, that got to that. It definitely is your thing at the moment. I'd say if you broke down my day, I'd say that's taken 7% of my day. You know, you break down screen time. What would Lou do?

In the morning she'd open the door. Turn around, never look. Never look. Straight back in the kitchen. Right, right, right, right. They could do what they want out there. But love you, Lou. Don't want to fall out about this. And so you've had quite a stressful weekend it feels like and it doesn't feel like you've totally recovered. No, well what else has happened?

My brother come around with his daughter who's a year and I've realized my house is a death trap because we decorated it after they weren't babies anymore. You've got to make your house for yourself. We've got a poltergeist. Oh yeah? Well we thought we had a poltergeist for two days, we worked out what it was. What was it? My daughters have walkie talkies but we didn't realise they've got a range of six miles on and there was two BT engineers having a chat in my kitchen and I lost my mind. Imagine just being in your kitchen and you don't know your Ha ha ha ha! Imagine just being in your kitchen and you don't know your children have got walkie talkies.

So your children aren't doing this on purpose? No, so they've been on them with each other. Left them on and you're just in the kitchen. Clear them, mate, you all right here, mate? What the fuck is that? Oh my God. At this point, I don't know walkie talkies are in there. Yeah, so where did it come, where were they?

Obviously, one in the sofa. Yeah, of course. One come? Where were they? Obviously one in the sofa, one in a cupboard in a drawer. So it feels like it's further away. And it took two days to discover this. After a while, I realized they were walkie talkies and the kids told me, but it took two days to find them. Oh my word. Because it's not a constant noise. You have to wait for them to have a chat and then by the end I was starting to work out a timetable because they were obviously going for lunch for ages and finishing at four but early in the morning when I'm busy getting them ready that's when they were really chatting about the job. Oh dear. You've had a bad time haven't you? You seem like there's an edge to you this morning Rob.

Do you know what it is as well? I've been doing this health fitness thing so I'm going You've had a bad time, haven't you? You seem like there's an edge to you this morning, Rob. Do you know what it is as well? I've been doing this health fitness thing, so I'm going to the gym. It doesn't make you hugely happy. No, but I'm on a calorie deficit, so I'm hangry. Rob, it's only 9.41 in the morning. Lost two pounds, though. At best, Rob, at best. Lost a kilo.

At best, you've missed breakfast, Rob. Gained, mate breakfast Rob. Ran for 20 minutes without stopping the other day first time ever. Really proud. At best you've you've missed breakfast. Have you had breakfast? Yeah I have and I've got told off. So you can't blame me calorie deficit at 9.40 when you've already had breakfast. Alright okay Joe Wicks why don't you fuck yourself. Okay sat there with your rabs. Can I say I got, I had a banana, I've got a couple of things I wanna talk about, I got out of a banana and was driving along country lane and when I finished with it, I just threw the peel in a bush.

Is that allowed? I thought that was. But I got told off by my daughter and she was like, no, it's disgusting, someone might slip on it, it might just rot and it's right going to someone's field. I don't think that a banana's as slippery as people think it is for a start. All that bloody propaganda over the years.

I just don't, I've never slipped on a banana skin. I don't know anyone who has. And actually when I think about it, they don't strike me as particularly slippery. No, no, I don't think the slip, I think it was more just like, oh, what if it lands in someone's field? I thought there was a, I thought it was all right with organic material. But I don't think the slip, I think it was more just like, oh, what if it lands in some field? I thought there was a,

I thought it was all right with organic material. But I don't know. Yeah, I don't know, like an apple core, I wouldn't throw like- I definitely think you could do an apple core in a hedge. Apple core in a hedge, 100%. I'd say a banana on a road, no. Cause you're not doing Mario Kart.

It does feel like you're doing Mario Kart, but it's banana in, do you know what it is? An apple in Kent in a hedge feels right. A banana in a hedge in Kent, because it's not his natural home. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where an apple could grow near a hedge in Kent. Why is that banana spin on a journey?

Yeah, you look at that banana and go, that shouldn't be here. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Want visibly glowing skin in 14 days? With new Olay Indulgent Moisture Body Wash, you can lather and glow. The 24-hour moisturizing body wash is infused with Vitamin B3 Complex and has notes of Rose and Cherry Creme for a rich, indulgent experience.

So my mate's kid is just downloading Minecraft. Her friend's a player in the school. She's got a bit obsessed by it. She played it like nonstop for four hours. How old is she? Probably about seven, I think. And played it like nonstop on a bank holiday weekend. And then he went, right, bedtime now, let me take your game. And she absolutely lost the plot because she was so into it.

And me and my mates were talking about how into computer games you were. Especially when we came from an era where you couldn't even save your progress. No. It just stopped. But also, your parents, we were from the era where your parents didn't understand what like we understand to an extent the grammar of a computer game. Whereas I remember trying to get my dad to play it and he just didn't even know what a joystick was. Do you know what I mean?

Because all those jokes used to be about like you'd they'd turn the controller like a steering wheel for Mario Kart. Yeah exactly. So me and my mates were talking about it and then my mate Tim said that when he went to Florida for two weeks, he got to the final boss on the Spider-Man game and pressed pause and left it on pause for two weeks. Oh my god. And when he came home, it was still going because it was all just sort of plug-in analogue.

It wasn't like self shut down and TV wouldn't rest. He just had it on pause for two weeks So any childhood meltdowns about computer games? Oh my god. I was I was fucking obsessed with computer games I loved it. I mean I'll mate that was my that was my my big thing me My brothers used to play all the time. He got quite toxic at one point. I was 12. My brother was 18 He would have been or yeah, he's six years older and And I beat him on a computer game, No Mercy, WWF game, WWE now, and I beat him in 30 seconds, quite humiliatingly, and then I refused to give him a rematch.

So he- Oh, yeah, when someone refuses a rematch, that is such an awful thing to do to someone. And he went, you play me now, or I'll fight you in the street. And at the time, you know, it's funny, like brother sibling story, but actually at the time he was an adult man. I was a child.

If you take away the fact we were brothers, that is an 18 year old man in the newspapers attacking a 12 year old boy because he beat him at no mercy. Fucking hell. I just- What a game to beat him on for that as well, No Mercy. My addictions were out of control to computer games. What were you addicted to?

So initially it would have been like sensible soccer and stuff and then I got championship manager and that was bad. That was really bad. 0-1-0-2 was it? No, 97, 98. I'm slightly older than you. And I remember one night me and my brother stayed up. We had tickets to watch dodgy. Do you remember the band? Yeah, they were playing a gig in exit a lunchtime good enough for me

We stayed up all night playing championship manager till 6 a.m. And then slept through the dodgy gig The most 90s thing that's ever happened in history. So what time did you go to bed then? 6am. Oh! That's a long sleep though, they would have been on at 8 o'clock at night. No, no, they were doing a lunchtime gig for some reason, it was like a summer festival.

Yeah. But fuck me, my addictions to computer games are insane. Well let us know about your childhood computer game addictions or obsessions. Yeah, yeah, that's good. How are you feeling now, Rob? I feel good, I've got it off my chest. Sorry, Lou, if I'm public shaming you,

but I think pink jobs and blue jobs, without sounding too much like a married couple from 1937, but sometimes you need a little bit of a backup on certain jobs. Sometimes pink and blue mix up, and you get, what would you get, like green? Green dog shit, yeah. You get green dog shit. You get green old dog shit.

Obviously, this is made me laugh, Josh. I've done a couple of award dos for car, like car awards. So one was like an auto, it's called like automotive magazine or something. One was like fleet, you know, about different fleets of cars. I don't really understand the industry. There's something to do with cars. And it's so funny, right? I did one and it's Giza.

I just, I feel like I've seen this more of this man in the last two weeks than I have Lou. And you certainly have of Rose. He won, and it's like, if it was any other industry, it would be like bigger than Oppenheimer. He won four awards at each award ceremony. Ha ha ha! What had he designed?

No, he was in charge of something, I don't know, like Ford or something, Ford Transit or Trust Ford, I can't remember if it was Ford. He came up four times. And Stuart Musto, I just want to say congratulations on what is one of the greatest award ceremony run of four. I've seen that.

Even my tour manager went, haven't we seen that bloke before? I was like, yeah, it's fucking Musto. He's up for another. The guy's an animal. I've never seen anything like it. They were like, you know when Man City win the league, it was like they were sort of jeering him by the end. I was like, this is outrageous.

This man's haunting me. I did one of those awards this week, Rob. I enjoy doing it. I don't mind them at all. Yeah. Some comedians don't like them, but I quite enjoy them. Yeah. You get a free hotel. You get to chill out.

I mean, I go home straight afterwards. I'm not staying in the hotel. No. That would be bizarre. Do you want the hotel room? No. I live two miles away. And my wife's away.

Can she have it? Is it thanks you know if she's gonna have a fair rather obviously do it nearby save on trains the people in law awards the people in what prisoners well no I thought the people in law awards I genuinely turned up thinking it was like father-in-law of the year a mother-in-law no fuck off so when it got emailed I was like father-in-law of the year and mother-in-law So when it got emailed I was like yeah, I'll do the people in law and what's that's probably come from parenting Yeah, that's never That kind of guy right piece of piss. That'll be a nice audience. Actually. I'll do that I don't want to do more award mega. Markle is up for this one

Is that for this one? But what I found, it's taken me years. It's much better to be honest if you don't understand the industry. 100%. You're reading out stuff that makes no sense to you. You've got to say that. And even people in the industry know that it doesn't make sense. Like, you know, I did one awards and it was like a bit of a techie one. Because when you do these awards, some of them are just like industries where they are like,

who's the best at this? And they've sold this many so they win. Or it's a magazine where they all vote or website. Or it can sometimes be like, you sort of feel like the awards sort of don't really matter as much. It's more to get certain people in a room so they can network, meet people within their industry if they're looking for investment and stuff like that. So I was doing one that was a bit more of a network investment one, and it was sort of kind of, all right,

it was quite, quite, basically just wanting to speak to their contact and then get going. I basically just was like, yeah, no, it's good. And it was all kind of, I'll tell you what, let's do this. I'll dish out some awards, you can have a little chat, try and get some investment for your app, I'll get paid, we'll all leave, yeah? And they all all cheer.

Ha! Good on them. Ah, Josh, I feel better, Josh, after getting all that. Do you? I'm glad, because sometimes, so, you know, it's not that this podcast is therapy, Rob, but it provides a service for you.

Well, sometimes you just need to vent a little bit, and even to someone that's not directly involved. Yes, yes. Exactly, Rob, exactly. I feel like I've vented. We did have a fun weekend as well. The thing they've always said about you, Rob, is behind the scenes, Rob has dedicated himself

to mentoring emerging talent, sharing the wisdom gleaned from years on stage and screen. Yeah, big time. He's become a guiding light for the next generation of comedians and entertainers, encouraging them to find their unique voice and to embrace the power of laughter as a tool for change. All I've been looking for is a tool for change and I bloody found it. But no, I did have a nice weekend with the girls as well. It wasn't all stress. We went to the garden centre and bought stuff for the garden, got Omit pissed down, but let's not go over that.

And we promptly got promoted to the football league. Did you see that? I did see that, yeah. Which is sort of great, but also a lot of the parents in Bromley quite frustrated because it's quite a good community club and there's loads of football clubs that train and play on the Astro turf pitch

that Bromley have got, but now they're getting promoted. They've got to change that to a grass pitch. So everyone's been like, oh, that's great. Yeah. Does my kids football thing still happen? Oh dear. And are they going to come out really muddy now because it's not AstroTurf? Okay. Great news, great news. What is this the pitch pitch or is this the training pitch? No, this is the pitch pitch. They won't be allowed kids games on there now. They've got a proper pitch. There's no chance of them being muddy because they won't be allowed to play on a Football League pitch.

No, exactly. So, I don't know what's going to happen. Are they allowed an Astro turf pitch at National League? Is that a distinct advantage? Yeah, if you don't tell them they bring the wrong stars. I think they know now. Yeah. But anyway, well done to Bromley. When you go to watch Bromley in the league, would you consider taking your daughters?

I have taken them, however, there's not always a seat and you have to stand up. Yeah. Because it's very like National League. When I first went to the football it was standing and you're just too short. Yeah, and there's nowhere to sit. If it rains it's a bit of a cold, windy one. But they've built a new stand but I may do but I just prefer taking young kids to women's football until they're older anyway. So even I prefer the atmosphere at women's games a bit more welcoming to young kids. But then when they get older I'll take them to men's.

Tell me about your hangar. It's it's been all right it's just I'm trying to balance learning about there's so much fatty mayonnaise. I saw you have porridge the other day Rob I'm glad you've I'm glad you've joined the porridge train you've joined the revolution. It's that I understand now really I've spent my entire life just eating stuff and it making me happy but the reality is you need fuel and you just have to accept that it's not nice most of the time. That's how you not be fat.

And you can tell yourself, oh, it's great. And when you eat still just chicken and rice with a bit of seasoning, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, no, it's not too bad, but it's hard. What was more difficult was not the hangar. It's like trying to eat healthily and I'm logging what you're eating and stuff like that. When you're out and about with kids at the park and they're getting ice creams and then you're jumping

and then they want a McDonald's and all that and you sort of you don't want to be like, you know, you can't have any of that. But then you're just sort of sat there not eating it. And it's hard to have you had to go for dinner or anything yet. I went for dinner a couple of times, but then I just, it's impossible to sort of track where you're eating. And I didn't really lose any weight that week, but that I also, that was the week where I had the app on the wrong set.

So I was over it. And so last week I was fine. I was full of the joys of spring. Yeah. Yeah. It was easy. It was anything. I was two full. Yeah. But no, I'm all right. I feel good, but I'm enjoying going to the gym. And that genuinely was the first time I've ever ran for 20 minutes. And actually I realised, well, it's more like school scarring of being second to last in the cross country. I came second to last in the cross country. Well, yeah.

So, but you run now, but I've always thought of myself as not being able to run. I can't run. I'm too heavy. I can't run. It'd be bad for me to, I can't run, I can't run. But I realised if you just think that, you never will be able to run. So it's like an egoic thing where if I go, oh no, I can't run, I can't run, it's almost like the sort of attention seeking, egotist narcissism of, oh I can't, poor me, poor me, like acting like a victim. But then what I normally do to counteract that is overcompensate and go, I'm going this run I'm gonna I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it and then I get too

worked up and I'm really the best place. That doesn't sound like you. The best place to be is to be calm and just moving so I switched my mindset. I only put it on 4.1 miles an hour which is super slow. Oh were you on a singing? A treadmill super slow and I thought I'll just go at a 4.1 speed and I run for 12 minutes last week nonstop and then stop for five minutes and run the rest. But then this week I just did all of it, which is a massive achievement for me. I know it's quite small numbers.

But my mindset was, because when I get into the gym, I'm scared of everyone looking at me, I'm scared of doing it wrong, I don't want to look stupid, I don't want to look stupid. I don't want to look weak and stuff. And especially now when the telling more people looking. So I thought I've just got to have exposure therapy

where they just look at me and just deal with it and just forget it. But then when I get in the treadmill, rather than go, I can't run, I'm not a runner. And instead, so don't think like that. And also don't think I am a runner. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Because then you put too much pressure on yourself

I basically just started moving and running and just rather than going I can't or I'm going to I was like I am Yeah, I am running. I am running. Yeah, so there's no thought about the past and future I'm running and then I had a podcast and listening to that. Yeah, I'm just running I'm running and they like my brain When it's go, you know, you can't and I thought well then like, my brain wanted to go, no, you can't. And I was like, well, I can, cause I am. And the other brain was like, you're fucking smashing. I went, no, don't worry about what's gonna happen. Just run and stuff. So I managed to do it and I was really proud of myself.

So I'm gonna continue to build it up. Oh, well done, mate. That's great. And do you know, that's one of the things about exercise is which I find as well, really, but not, you know, maybe not. Maybe I haven't got like the residual things that you've got with it, but that feeling

that you're all in competition with each other and because you can't do the weights of someone else, or because you can't run like someone else, you're a failure and you shouldn't do it. But it's like, you know, you're doing it for yourself. Do you know what? But one of the problems is it's so public, isn't it? Well, yeah, also as well. I'm doing one where you do like lifting the barbell thing. Yeah. You have to put the weights on yourself, which is always quite stressful when you have to do any sort of prep to it. I've got gloves

here, Rob. I haven't got gloves though. I've just got the big belt. No, I haven't got my weights. Because obviously I've got a bit of a weak lower back, so I'm going really slowly, but learning the technique before I try and lift anything heavy. But it gets to the point where the weights are so low that I'm using them, they're tiny, so it doesn't, the barbell's not off the ground high enough, you know, like it should be. But the gym I go to have got 5kg ones at the right height, but so I was doing it, so I'm getting on with it, then I was doing this pull-up, I'm too heavy to do a pull up. I can't do one pull up. No, neither can I. There's no way I can do it. Are you using the big rubber band?

No, not the big rubber band. So when I do a pull up, Rob, I get fastened in a big rubber band basically. No, I don't like anything that's in the middle of the gym I can't do or fastened up or you know when they like put a rope around you and make you push something along. So what are you doing with your pull-ups? So I'm doing it on my own. I've got like an online trainer person that suggests what I should do but I'm actually doing the gym sessions alone.

I haven't got a trainer or anything. Because I feel like if you ever have a trainer, I've had it in the past and I just copy them, I'm not learning and I try and make them laugh to distract them from the workout, it's pathetic. But so. So you've done 20 minutes of standup in the middle of a gym. Yeah, I'm just doing a gig to get out of any hard work. So I was doing the pull-up on this.

The story of your life. This mechanical thing, where it's basically, you put a weight on it, so it helps you if you're too sort of heavy. And I was doing it, and I'm not really sure what I'm doing that's like the kind of platform you kneel on almost yeah and you can put weights on it so it basically supports you so you are pulling yourself up but you're not pulling up your whole weight it's sort of yeah so because otherwise you can either do it or you can't this is sort of the middle way in so I was doing it and then this guy

big muscle guy come over and hi do you mind if I give you some advice? Okay. And my immediate thought was, yeah, I do you fucking prick. Why don't you fucking take your big arms and shove them up your fucking arse, you big chicken eating prick. Fuck you fucking wanker. What do you think you are, come over to me

because I'm doing it shit and I'm doing it wrong. And you're fucking, like, and I was like, right, no, that's an old pain body that's starting that. That isn't how I feel. So I thought, actually, why don't I lean into it? That's an old pain body that's starting that. That isn't how I feel. So I thought, actually, why don't I lean into it? And I'm like, the truth of the moment here is,

I can't do this very well. I don't know what I'm doing. And I'm new. I went, oh yeah, please. He went, don't worry about the weight. Just make sure you're going as low as possible. So, you know, cause that's where you actually will feel the benefit and then that'll build up.

So keep the light, the weight really low to assist you, but make sure you're going down as far as possible. So you're better off going down as far as possible than lifting a heavier weight. Um, and I went, Oh, thanks, mate. You went, no worries. Walks off. The nicest man, actual advice I needed, and it really helped me. And now I'm doing much better. But my initial thought was, you know, no, go away. Yeah. And I think that's because some people were, you know, people talk about gut instincts. Well, I run with gut and I, you know, no, go away. And I think that's because some people will, you know, people talk about gut instincts. Well, I run my gut and I do, but that's not really my gut instinct.

My gut instinct, as a person, I am quite open and friendly and want to learn, but that's my anxiety reaction comes in before gut. Yes, get triggered by something, you know, and then I just snap and I'm like, no, that's not my gut reaction to that. That is just my anxiety in my head reacting. But to be able to identify that is the key. Well, yes, that's really massively helped. I snapped it loose the other day and I apologized immediately.

Well, I was doing, I was taking down- Was it about dog shit? No, I was taking down the bunk bed and I had my drill and only had like a normal screw drill bit on it and I was taking it out and then the ones at the end, she was like, oh, I think you need Allen keys for this one like that, and I was like, oh, right, yeah, yeah.

And then I was going around the corner, I went, yeah, I definitely think it's the Allen keys. She went, well, yeah, I did say, but like, didn't say, but not, and I completely lost my head. And like, my dad, I don't know, my dad would sometimes, whenever he did DIY, he'd be like, well, you do, you know, when your dad sort of told you off, you can't do something. And I just sort of flipped and I was like, I immediately went, no, I'm not that I'm not reacting and lose done nothing wrong.

I'm reacting to like sort of a stress memory of these situations. So yeah, acknowledging it is, is, is really helpful. I find, but yeah, thank you to that man who come up to me and yeah, I he did it in a nice way but I initially wanted to fight him but I couldn't because he was so big and strong. Yeah I don't think that would be a good idea Rob. No but also it's the only thing in the world where if someone says can I give you some advice? Yeah. The reason why so physically apparent. Yes. If you're in a gym and you're like out of breath a bit flabby and you're hanging off something and a guy that is absolutely ripped to pieces says can I give you some advice? You can't

really say no. No. It's obviously working. Whereas in any other job if you worked in you know you can't go out to someone in the green room and go can I give you some advice? Because there's no obvious thing but I was like well yes please give me some advice, big strong man. Let me know what I'm doing. On the topic of advice, parenting-wise kind of area, so we've got algae in our fish tank, Rob. Is that euphemism or is that actually? Look, if you've got algae in your fish tank, just get the kids out the room, have a date night Like a candle

Louie's a lucky woman light a candle gal. I've got the candle on gets a bit off a bottle or a red one Get out the drone Malone here we go Yankee candle it's time for Yankee candle equals wanky handle. Let's go to town Wanky candle, it's time for a... Wanky candle equals wanky handle, let's go to town. That's disgusting, regretted that immediately. Yeah, but you know, it's fight or fly in there with you.

It's an algae, aren't you? Yeah. So go on, yeah, algae in the fish tank. I've never had more differing advice in my life. Okay, so... So there's no right way, I Googled it. I saw your Instagram video. Yeah, I Googled it. There was

70 different ways to do it. Right. Okay. I then put it on Instagram, everyone suggesting different things. I then went to the same pet shop we'd got the fish tank from. Yeah. And there was a different shop assistant to the time we got the fish tank. And she gave us completely contrasting tank and she gave us completely contrasting advice to what we'd been given when we got the fish. Right, okay. So there's no right way to keep your fish tank clean is what I can tell. Can't you get a fish that eats it? No.

Okay. Do you know what Rob, you've achieved the impossible. That's one of the few bits of advice I still haven't been advised. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 ha ha ha ha ha One looks, it'll go down my headphone. There must be a way around it. Over the mic. I don't know. No, no, we'll have to take the headphones off at some point. There we go, and it's over the mic. And I'm done. Oh, that was impressive. I bottled it.

Well done. Respect, actually. So I don't know what we're gonna do about the fucking fish tank. So have you tried any of the techniques? No, I'm gonna do one today. Well, one must work. If anything, you're complaining about techniques? No, I'm going to do one today. One must work. If anything, you're complaining.

You know what my worry is? If I do, I just, I think I'm too nervous that if I do something wrong, it's just going to fuck up the pH and the fish are going to die. That is the forever problem with fish tanks. Do you know what I mean? So you're nervous because it's not like building a bed where you're like well I'll have a go and if it goes wrong well I mean it's like I had a hot tub and the pH levels were the bane of my life mate what do you mean fish are in there they were doing your feet while

you're in the hot tub anybody of water that's sitting there needs to be have chemicals in to stop it going mental. I know, I know. So that's, you know, we got rid of it in the end. Yeah. So there we go. Just get rid of the fish tank. Yeah.

Cause I always see fish tanks in like a big round bowl on like a kitchen or side in a film or a TV show. Yeah, and they're like totally see through. But the thing I've learned is you can't put them next to the window in direct sunlight I mean I would have guessed that would you most things? Say out of direct sunlight. Yeah, never mind a fish, but now I'm looking around my house. I'm like Well, there's sunlight coming in the windows everywhere. Oh, sorry, mate didn't realize that such a big old window

As we live on the fucking rooftop son everywhere windows everywhere. Oh, sorry, mate. Didn't realize you had such a big old windowed house. You better as well live on the fucking rooftop. Sun everywhere. No, but there is. Look at this room. Well, you've got a big, it's a Victorian building, isn't it? No, but it's not even a thing about my windows. It's like, where is it?

Calm down. You've got big old windows. It's not a crime. People choose to spend the money the way they want. For you, it's big old windows. I haven't got the windows changed since I got here. Let's just be clear on that. Okay cool. We are destroying it. No but yeah well yeah so no but you could put it on that your bookshelf behind there. That's not facing direct sun. It means like that.

Yeah no I know I know I know. Just a couple of those books you're never gonna read. I've read all of them. I'm gonna put the fish tank behind me I think. Why do people keep books they've read? Because it looks nice. That's it? It feels like a sense of achievement I've put myself through the hell of reading a book and now I've got and now I can at least brag about it

Yes, that is Hiroshima volume 3 I don't know Rob. Why do people keep books they like? I don't know. Why do I keep buying football shirts? Because I could have fooled them as a child. Exactly Rob, exactly. Why did I buy all the football stickers when they come out? Because it was too expensive as a kid. Are you collecting the football stickers for this Euros?

Yeah. And are you excited as a parent that this is your daughter's first major tournament as a kid? No, because I don't think she'll care. Oh. She's, they don't really like, they like going to live football and it's on all the time at home, but they pay no interest. Yeah.

They like playing it and they like going to see it live in the stadium, but when it's on TV, nah. No, okay, yeah. But you know, it's good to have our own things, isn't it? I tell you what I did watch from the other day though, good kids film, My Neighbor Totoro, it's a Japanese film. You see that?

Oh yeah. It's really fucking. It really fucking is, Mr. Looseneck. Well, no, we're going to, I tell you, we're going to Japan next year. You didn't tell me that, no. I'm going to Australia on tour and then we could. Oh yeah, no, you did tell me that,

but I didn't care enough to keep it in my head, sorry. And then Japan on the way back for a week, so we're trying to get him into stuff that they'll appreciate Japan when they're there. It's really good film actually, I think you could, it's really funny and quite sweet. Do you know what I've always thought about you Rob, just to finish? As the final curtain fell on his remarkable journey Rob Beckett's laughter lived on a Timeless testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless capacity of joy that resides within us all oh, that's nice As the future generations looked back on his legacy fuck off

They would find inspiration in his story his story of laughter love and the enduring pursuit of happiness Yeah, do you know what what man you're a good guy don't don't beat yourself up so I like this AI guy everyone's slugging off AI I think he's I think he's got his fucking head screwed on mate I think he knows what the fucking day of the week is this AI guy? Good lad. Just bring on AI, that's what I say. Don't delay the inevitable. It's like people who are scared of the internet. My man was scared of phones. Oh, there's someone talking in here.

Fucking yes it is. Get on with it. Are you worried about phones and your kids? Technology has always put people out of jobs. There used to be humans in a big building that would connect to a fucking phone call with a plug. I know. Do you know what I mean? When I was a kid, I thought that was still happening. Well, you probably was in Cornwall.

I'm from Devon, for fuck's sake. It's not the same thing. Right, I think of you as down south, you keep banging around about Cornwall, you're from there now. In your lifetime, you'll have lived in London and Cornwall longer than Devon. No I won't, I lived in Devon for 18 years. How long you been in London? 16 years.

Yeah? And then Cornwall, you're gonna be going down there till you die, so what, another 17 years? That's bleak, isn't it? No, that's only, that one, you'll live longer than that. You'll be one of that little old geezer that goes on for fucking ages. I don't know if I wear that shirt, I've got white lungs. No, they'll will you out on like, for a laugh.

No. It'll be like a new young kids panel show. They'll will out an even smaller widower with an even more ridiculous voice and even bigger ears and curlier hair. What do you mean by bigger ears? Everyone's ears grow. Yeah, but I haven't got big ears at the moment have I? If I look at you I don't miss the ears. There's definitely ears there.

Really? Well no not big ears but I'd say they're above average. Would you? And they're only going to get bigger. Well they are only going to get bigger. Imagine how hairy your nose will get as well as your nose hairs. Oh god that's annoying. When you get to about 83 and you don't care. Oh god I will get. You'll be great, you'll be great, you'll be funny. I don't think I'm making it over 70, I've got weak lungs. Really?

Yeah, what about you? You confident? I think I'm going to have, I think I'll probably need a couple of knees and a couple of hips, but I think... What, with all the running? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all that running. No, just from being heavy and alive. Just being really heavy and alive. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, anyway, well, let's we do a small business. Oh, yeah, sorry.
