Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:23 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 where none of us know what we're doing. Hello, you're listening to Parents in Hell with. I'm gonna change in my daddy's. Can you say Rob Beckett?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Friday Bucket. And can you say Josh Widicombe? Josh! Widicombe? Josh! Widicombe? Josh! Widicombe.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I like the dad coming in to try and save it. Oh yeah, is that a little bit bad man though? Bad dad for getting involved in what the mum was doing? Was he mansplaining? We know that the man that pushed his kids in front of his wife doing the marathon. Have you seen that? What, no. There's a clip of a woman running like a half marathon
Starting point is 00:01:16 really fast, she's about to win. And just before the finish line, he sort of pushes these kids in front of her as if to go with mummy, and she sort of pushes him away and runs across the finish Line. Oh, I've not and there's a bit of a debate about was he trying to steal her moment now Was this guy trying to steal?
Starting point is 00:01:32 Well, I just don't know and it's a bloody quagmire Josh. Don't you yeah too bloody right? Hi Rob and Josh What's this debate on? Where am I missing this debate? I'd just sort of like the ether Right sort of in the air you're in the kitchen throwing it around Yeah, I have a breakfast. What's your angle on this? No, it's just on the internet people calling him a wanker for taking his kids to watch their mum run Okay, fair enough, but there was a debate about was he stealing it? I don't give it. I don't even know why I'm talking Who was that? I'm a bit hungover. They're Welsh.
Starting point is 00:02:05 I'm guessing Welsh. That's their son Dylan. Maybe I'll name after Dylan Thomas if they are Welsh. They are Welsh. I'd say a South Wales Swansea. It's so close. South Wales, Bridgend. Now living in Perth, Australia.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Oh, I didn't get that. Two and a half year old son Dylan, who's been listening to the pod whilst I drive him around the car since he was a newborn he's recently become big brother to twins Reese and Cara who will be six months next week Dylan has recently started saying it's a bit of fun all the time in your mannerisms which I can only assume he got from listening to the pod keep it sexy and relatable Emily what other catchphrase is he gonna get next week I've dropped down to five milligrams again and all my swearing I was gonna ask your advice half an hour away bridge end is from
Starting point is 00:02:50 Swansea that was great for me wasn't it well done Beckett well played look how sunny it is on me oh god it's lovely today I don't know when you're listening to this but today it's lovely yeah talking about congratulate yourself when I play football with Tim Key who I keep trying to get in this podcast because he's funny but he hasn't got kids but he is a godfather so just keep spamming Tim Key to come on. When he plays football if he plays a good ball he goes good ball Key, well played. He shouts it as if someone else has given him advice and congratulating him. I think Tim Key's the funniest man I know. Alan Carr's up there as well when he's on form and Tom Allen. Josh, it's complete darkness now.
Starting point is 00:03:25 I know. What are you doing? Why didn't you leave the... You look lovely. It was so hot. It was baking. Oh, you look like an emo trying to get ready for a wank. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:03:35 I've lost my bloody... Yeah, that looks nice. I know, but... I mean, we're doing this four years now and when the summer comes, all the videos are ruined because half of... No, it's not the video. It was absolutely boiling on my head. Right, okay. Open your window.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I'm gonna open my window. So what did you want? Oh I was gonna ask you the opposite of the Tim Key question Rob. Go on. To bleep out, Michael. Who is the comedian who's just the least, not as a comedian... **** not as a comedian, off stage, just not a laugh. Like, you know when you're like, why are you a comedian? Yeah, I'd say that he would be the one
Starting point is 00:04:13 of the most sort of famous, but then there are loads that aren't funny that are at a sort of lower level where it's, but they're basically failed posh people that went and did degrees and they're quite confident but they're not funny and they're just, but they're confident enough to stand there thinking it's going well I can give you a long list of them. I could be for days telling you that I can smell funny on people. They come in new acts but in seconds you know it's a sixth sense I've got.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's a sixth sense right now I want to ask your advice. Seventh I forgot. At the time of recording we're flying somewhere as a family tomorrow Rob. Yes you are yeah. Yes. Short haul, long haul. Short haul. Right Europe. Europe yeah. Greece. Okay yeah. It's a lot of inquiry about where you're going. You're going to Greece. Yeah sorry we're going to Greece tomorrow. Yeah. At the time of recording and... Looks exciting. Our flight has been moved earlier by BA. Oh, shock! Wow, interesting. Wow, it's really good to add some new content on the rate of the podcast. BA have moved a flight again, have they, Josh? Hmm, keep talking. 6.30am from Gatwick. So what time was it originally?
Starting point is 00:05:26 I don't know. I can't remember. They moved it quite a while ago, a few months ago. But after we'd bought the tickets. So it's now 6.30. It's now 6.30. That's no fun, is it? No. That's no way to start a holiday. We haven't booked a hotel, but we're toying with it.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Should we do it? We've never done the hotel at the airport before. I know you're the kings of hotel at the airport. Yes. King and queen. King and queen. Or do we get the taxi at 3.30am? I think for 6.30am and if you can get a little airport hotel it's quite fun actually and sometimes you can check your bags in the night before. Oh can you? So it depends on the airline and where you're going. We did that once where what you do is at about 11, like 10 o'clock. But then you haven't got anything. Yeah, no, but then how much do you need? You're getting up and getting on a plane. Yeah, that's a good point. So obviously you can leave some like toothpaste, toothbrush out and then just take that in your
Starting point is 00:06:17 hand luggage in a little bag. Yeah. We send hotel and then that night I went to the, because you're allowed to, you could check in the bags. Yeah. And then the next morning all you're doing is hand luggage. And then you can get up a bit later because... I could lie into a half four. You could have a lie into a half four. Lie into a half four. You could just get up and quick half an hour and you'd be at the airport five, an hour and a half before. No bags to check in. The worst part of the holidays is waiting for a cab to arrive. And especially... No, I think the worst part of the holidays is not just waiting for a cab to arrive and especially I think the worst part of holidays not just waiting for the cab to arrive It's the hour-long cab journey in the dark Yeah, and especially when you've got the kid yeah, I the kids and you're just like they're awake now
Starting point is 00:06:55 I would do hotel than the night before so you need to book that and go there today Yeah, what we did though is that you're not really it's not like night in a hotel. We're like get there No, no, no, it's like 9 at like 9 p.m. or whatever. Yeah, if you left your house in a cab or whatever, they put the kids in their pajamas. Yeah, yeah. And then they get into the hotel, have a little run around and go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yeah. Oh God. I do that. Oh God, I don't want to get a flight that early. The whole day is going to be mental. Well, it's not the whole day, it's the whole day when you get there, isn't it? And you land at like 9 a.m. and you're like,
Starting point is 00:07:24 how is it morning? How is landed like 9 a.m. And you're like, how is it morning? Is it still 9 a.m. That'd be nice. How long you wait for? A week, half term. Nice. Yes. Lovely. Are you not going away this half term? No, no going away.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Oh my word. You working? Not really, no. Just chilling at home, really. Just in the garden. Who are you? Have we swapped roles? Well, a lot of time we went away loads for like a year or two. That was when we were moving house and like, yeah, we'd moved in a house. Oh, yeah. You know, your kitchen that you use. Yeah, that's not done. Yeah. OK. So then what we do is when we was away, they'd come in and finish bits.
Starting point is 00:07:58 So we saw. I feel like I'm the most boring man that's ever lived. What's OK? My head's gone. I had a drink last night. If you worry you're the most boring man that's ever lived. No, it's fine Rob. My head's gone, I had a drink last night. Rob, if you worry you're the most boring man that's ever lived, let me ask you a question. Go on. How many books have I packed? Well, for your one week holiday with a toddler and a seven year old.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah. I would pack two and read none. I'd say you've packed six, we'll read none. Five I've packed. What? How are you doing that in seven days? Well, I'm not going to, am I? But I wanted to give myself options. seven days? Well I'm not going to am I? But I wanted to give myself options. It's like Gareth Southgate going to the Euros.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Right. You don't. So what have you got? What's in the bag? Well I brought them up here because I thought you could play a game of normal or not normal. Oh you like a bit of normal or not normal. There's a book to read. Okay. Okay. Three weeks, eight seconds. A history of the Tour de France 1989. That is not normal. That is pedo-less.
Starting point is 00:08:49 That's not pedo-less! Yeah, because most old cyclists, you know the little old men in the little tight shorts that go on them? These guys? Yeah. Not the athletes. Let them off, that's a job. But the 50-year-old blokes that go out with their fucking bollocks, look like they've got cling film over. I think they're perverts and only do it for the outfit. Well, this is about the greatest ever Tour de France. Well, yeah, but that's like my greatest ever shit. Who cares?
Starting point is 00:09:13 Tour de France. I would read that, Rob. I would read that. Rob Beckett's greatest ever shit. Well, I think if that was announced, I'd say I'm fascinated to see how he does this. Not the shit. No, I have had a couple of good ones to be fair, but I just don't know if there's 80,000 words in me.
Starting point is 00:09:30 I think I can do an article on it. Yeah, I don't even know if you can do that. I've got a routine about having a shit. Yeah, I've got a routine about having a shit. It makes me feel weird. Yeah, people don't really like it. People don't like it, do they? Toilet humor? Yeah, it's not me.'t really like it. People don't like it, do they? Toilet humor? Yeah, it's not me.
Starting point is 00:09:48 But it's an observation based around public toilets. But you can't talk about public toilets without people picturing you. Having a shit. You look so weak, don't you? Yeah. My mate, my brother, he was in a curry house anyway When he opened the door, there was someone in one of the cubicles of the door open that was bent over wiping his ass He didn't have the door shut Sore and bloat but
Starting point is 00:10:16 Anyway tour de france 89 and not normal. Thank you even for cyclists That's a niche one who was in it. It was in it. It was in the regular Mond It's apparently the greatest ever tour. I was recommended it as a book, not because I'm interested in the Tour de France. Just because it's an interesting story. Yeah. I'd probably watch a documentary on it.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. But I couldn't read it. Next one. Killing Thatcher, the full story of the IRA's bombing of the Brighton Tory party conference in 1984. Fucking ill, mate. You're going on holiday. Ha ha ha! People read that to prepare in for like some sort of party conference in 1984. Fucking ill, mate. You're going on holiday. LAUGHTER People read that to prepare him for, like, some sort of an exam or... No, it's interesting. It says on the back,
Starting point is 00:10:52 it's more gripping than any thriller imaginable. Who said that? Dominic Sandbrook from The Rest Is History, actually. Well, OK, fair enough. He's a big history guy, but all right. OK, yeah, well, yeah, sort of interesting. But it's a weird one to read on a holiday, not normal. So this is Joan Didion, who's a journalist from the 60s that I got recommended.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Who by? Just some of her writing. Just some of her writing. That's never getting read, that one, is it? No. Beyond the Wall of History of East Germany. I think that's a bit more normal. Do you? You know, that's like a history book.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Like, it's like, oh, I wonder what happened. They're like, I'm clutching straws here. They're all not normal, if I'm honest, but I'm trying to bridge a gap. What else you got? Is that all of them? No, I've got, Hunger Makes Me Modern Girl, which is by Carrie Brownstein. Are you making this up? Hunger Makes The Girl by Carrie Brownstein. Makes are you making this up? Hunger makes the girl by Carrie Brownstein makes me a modern girl.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Hunger makes me a modern girl. She was in a quite small American indie band around 2000 called Sleater Kinney and she's a yeah, none of those words are real, mate. You're a I have you already gone on a day and I've got a I Josh pumping out the kind of shit you should say but none of it's actually real will make sense. You are, that is the niche. Where do you go to get these books? Bookshops!
Starting point is 00:12:13 No way have they got them in stock. Gotta be online. Bookshops basically just have Richard Osborne and then whatever Stephen Bartlett's done. That's it. Right Josh, we've got some... What have this team of Bartlets done? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha If you haven't listened before, that sounds much worse than it is. Yeah, yeah. Well, if this is your first entry to Parenting Hell, well done for surviving that 10 minutes of what has been absolutely insane chat about Josh's hotel room and his books. But this is where it gets juicy. Right, Playground Shaggers is parents at the school gates. We wanted stories of... Yeah, affairs. Parents having affairs at the school gates. We wanted stories of parents having affairs at the school gates.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Juicy goss. Juicy goss about people we don't know. Top shaggers. Can you still say top shaggers? Yeah, Darren Day's still kicking around, isn't he? Top shaggers. Hi, Rob and Josh. Please keep me anonymous.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Oh, all of them are gonna start like that. Yeah, it's great, isn't it? I wanted to tell you about the awkward wife-swapping situation in my school. I've been teaching 15 years and have heard about many parents having affairs, but in one class, two dads have actually swapped wives and remarried, making the classmates step-brothers.
Starting point is 00:13:36 That is insane. The boys have kept their original surnames, but one's first name is the other's surname. What? Just to be clear, please keep me anonymous. The details are too... No, but Dave, give an example that isn't the right one. No, I know, but those details are so...
Starting point is 00:13:55 The details are so specific, everyone who knows about that will know about that. At the end, except for my ify known. But the boys have kept their original surnames, but one's first name is the other's surname. Think John Oliver and Oliver Smith. Right. Which added to the confusion because I imagine one would be Oliver Oliver. Right. Because you never call your kid Oliver Oliver. But you would never when your mum remarries change your surname anyway. Some do. Well anyway which adds to the confusion. On parents evening they book appointments back to back. I bet they do the dirty buggers,
Starting point is 00:14:25 and hover as a foursome to hear about their son's bride. That is mad. Hover as a foursome. Apparently it's all very abacable now, the boys never- Yeah, but it has to be. It has to be if they're hovering as a foursome. And the boys never know who will be picking them up. So would the boys go to one house or the other?
Starting point is 00:14:49 I suppose it's quite useful. What, to swap wives? No, no, no, but I mean, in terms of childcare, they've halved their pickups. Yeah, true, but I think I'd rather just maybe find a childminder and start shagging Lou's mate. And she starts shagging Lou's mate. And she starts shaking the mates of her husband.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Would that be worse for Lou to walk in on, you with 10 of her mates or you with one of her mates? I think 10 would be better than one. Because it's less personal. And it also is like, you know, good on him. What the fuck is going on here? Well, it's one on one. It's like the ultimate betrayal.
Starting point is 00:15:25 10 on one as well, it's like, I think Lou might just shrug his shoulders and join in. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Let's hover as a 12-some. I like Rob, I like these 10. I like these guys. As a 12-some.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway, so it's all amicable now apparently with these ones, but when it first happened before I joined the school the dads had a fight in the playground. I'd say with good cause. And the elderly caretaker had to break them up. Oh my god. Can you imagine the keys rattling on his waistband, that caretaker. Oh my word.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Ironically the boys can't stand each other and have to be kept separate in class. No! That is awful, isn't it? That is bad for pick up. Imagine the therapy bills. Oh my word. God there's more Joshua, there's more shaggers. Can we just dig into that a bit more?
Starting point is 00:16:13 Absolutely, what me shaking all of Lou's mates at once? Yeah let's go. Rob, why have you turned your script video screen off? I'm just really into this now actually. Shall I ask Lou what she'd prefer? Yeah. Lou? Can you come here a second, please?
Starting point is 00:16:31 You're not on camera, don't worry, I've just got a question, can you put an ear in? Yeah. Okay. You're all right, Lou? Hiya. I'll turn the mic around. Quite a weird question.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Would you prefer to come home to find Rob having sex with one of your friends or 10 of them at the same time? Um, it's not something I've thought about before. No, no, I'd hope not. I have. What do you prefer? I don't know, one on one would make it feel like that's more emotional, so that might hurt more.
Starting point is 00:17:00 That's what I said, yeah. But ten friends, you'd lose them all at once. I'm not sure I've got ten friends. You certainly wouldn't after that. I could find a couple of them. So, I think you'd lose them all at once, wouldn't you? But if it was ten, would there be any possibility you might shrug your shoulders and join in? No, I think I'd probably just shut the door and walk away. Pretend I haven't seen it. And if you had to have sex with one of my friends, do you know who that would be?
Starting point is 00:17:24 None of them. Oh, okay. Because they're all to have sex with one of my friends, do you know who that would be? None of them. Oh, okay. Because they're all disgusting. They're all ugly bastards. Thanks, Lou. Sorry to interrupt your day. Thank you. There you go.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Yeah. She's not joining in, Rob. You tried to chip in. Would you join in? Tried to get a bit, oh, that's a bit of fun, a bit fruity and absolutely not. She's walking away, mate. Shut the door. I think losing ten friends, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Yeah. She didn't seem to think losing a husband would be the problem. It's more than ten friends. Yeah, that seemed to be more of an issue. Yeah. She's walking away mate, shut the door. I think losing 10 friends, yeah. She didn't seem to think losing a husband would be the problem. It's more than 10 friends. Yeah, that seemed to be more of an issue for her than me.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Old Top Shagga Beckett. The old Duracell Banger Beckett. I think it would be a nightmare having sex with 10 people. Oh my God. I find one harder to sustain for longer than two minutes. How would you divide that two minutes among 10? 12 seconds each. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Right, next one. Do you want the next one? Or do you want to dig in? Well, I just think the first couple, A, the two dads that had a fight, I think the dad, who's first got together with the other wife, I don't think you're within your rights to fight back. I think you've just got to be beaten up in that situation. Yeah, you just have to take a couple of hits and defend yourself. Yeah, yeah. And secondly, the second couple to get together,
Starting point is 00:18:33 it does feel a bit like, well, we're showing them. Yeah, it feels rather like, I'm just going to move on. It's like us get together, like, yeah, it's weird, don't it? Maybe they're swingers. But we don't know. Maybe the first couple got together because they were united by a shared fear that the other two parts of their relationship were getting close.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Maybe it all happened. Do you know what I mean? What do you reckon Rose would do if she saw you having sex with 10 of her friends? I mean, Rose- Is she there at the moment? Yeah, she is, but she's downstairs packing. She's in the house.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah, but we're going away tomorrow as a family. Yeah. As Lou said, I'm struggling to think of 10 friends of hers that are close enough. Do you know what I mean? You're starting to go, what? Her? She's in the top 10.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I don't know if I've got 10 mates. No, you don't. If I had to get 10 together, I would be like, blimey, how's it going, man? I've not seen you for years. It'd be like a reunion. God, you never get too well bumped into I bumped into the other day. Where did you see him? Don't worry about that. But we used to work with at Sainsbury's 15 years
Starting point is 00:19:32 ago. Right, I've got another Shaggard story. Yeah. Hey, just listen to the episode and the question about dad sharing it about the school gate. Well, I can confirm that yes, it does happen. And not just in the posh schools. I'm a teacher in a pretty mixed affluence area. Police have been called to break up fights at sports day, but some of the kids get horse riding lessons. Okay, so it's a bit of a spectrum of kids. Only a few years ago, I had a girl come into my class in September and in the opposite class,
Starting point is 00:20:00 there were two form groups, was her half sister, same dad, different moms. The girls never acknowledged each other and we had to do two of everything. opposite class, there were two form groups, was her half sister. Same dad, different mums. The girls never acknowledged each other and we had to do two of everything. The dad had spent a few years with the new family, but then gone back to the original mum. Oh no. This is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Until come February when a new boy starts in the same year. We assigned him a class and we got on with it until we were informed he was another of this dad's kids from another mum. Oh my word. Who had decided to move her kid to the same school both within weeks of the other two. She knew of one of the girls and wanted to make life hard for the dad by moving him to the school. Oh my word. She learned of the other girl too. So basically there were three kids in one year. Oh my god. A few weeks apart in age, all the same dad, three different mums. Oh my word. That is incredible. The big problem arose as the girl's mum knew nothing of said boy
Starting point is 00:20:55 and it all got a little bit Jeremy Karl on the school gate. Oh my god. He's been cheating on both of them. Imagine, I'm just going to say it, obviously I have no pity for the dad. No, absolutely not. But imagine his face when he realised. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha parents evening and the end of the year show were very awkward. That dad had one busy March just over a decade ago. Yeah, because also, obviously, if the original partner found out that he had another kid that was the same age and it was quite awkward in the school when it was all separate,
Starting point is 00:21:34 and then 10 years later, after all that kicked off, there was another secret one. Oh my God. The poor kids involved. The poor kids. You're just a kid going to school and then you realise you've got two sisters and your mum's having a fight at the school gates. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:21:51 There's two more shagging stories here Josh. Cool. Let's do them. I'm enjoying this. Please send in any playground shagging story. Yeah, they're the best things we've ever had. Also, any mums cheating as well? Yeah, equal opportunities.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Probably more men, most men are more likely to do, aren't they? Dogs. Right. Filthy street dogs. Hi, both. Just listening to your latest episode, you asked if Dad's Shagging Round the Playground really happened, and I just knew I needed to email in. My son is now in high school. These are like, they're quite hard to read out, these, because they're like riddles, because there's so much involved.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah. My son is now in high school, but when he was in primary, there was one dad, let's call him Jim, who was still in a relationship with the kid's mum, let's call her Claire. And also, because they're trying to keep it anonymous. And they're really unmemorable names because they're trying to keep them anonymous.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yeah, I know! Yeah. Anyway, there was a dad called Jim, and he was still in a relationship with the kid's mum called Claire. Another mum, Sally, approached me and my friend to let us know that she'd matched with Jim on Plenty of Fish. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And he had started sending her very dirty messages. Oh no, Jim. Dirty Jim. Grubby little Jim. Did Jim know who Sally was or did he? I'm not sure. I'm at the same knowledge as you at this stage. She had screenshotted it all and was unsure whether to let Claire know.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So Claire is Jim's partner. We were quite close in with Claire. So he told her he was not only on the dating side but also trying it on with one of the mums in the playground. I think you've got to tell her. I think you've got to tell her. Well done, Sally. Can we have a quick round of applause for anonymous Sally there? Well done, Sally. I think you've got to tell her. I think you've got to tell her. Well done Sally. Can we have a quick round of applause for anonymous Sally there?
Starting point is 00:23:27 Well done Sally. She's matched with Jim. He sent her some dirty messages. She's told Claire. Now, Claire's took it on the chin and nothing happened. Right? They told her but she's not done anything about it still together. Then you regret telling her. But that's her life choice Josh. That's her decision. But fucking hell, it's awkward, isn't it? So this is when it gets juicy. We later found out-
Starting point is 00:23:47 What? It's already juicy. All right, this is when it gets fucking squeezed. Oh, can I have a guess? Can I have a guess? Go on. They've got an open relationship and Claire's also on Plenty of Fish. Right, well, we later found out
Starting point is 00:23:59 that Sally and Jim had been having it off with each other. Having it off, yeah, yeah. Behind Claire's back. So Sally told them about the messages, but then she carried on messaging him and started shagging Jim. Oh my God, Sally. Claire found out again.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Can we withdraw the applause for Sally? Yeah, is that Jim? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha And we're about to take it back immediately. We're about to take it back immediately. Fucking hell, Sally, you dirty, dirty dog, Sally. You and Jim. Now, anyway, Claire found out though that Jim and Sally were having it off, but did nothing. Come on, Claire, have a little bit of self-worth. Later on, Jim was caught out with another mum on the playground. Oh, no. Mia.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Now, Jim and Mia actually moved in with each other. Basically, Jim started getting off of Mia. They moved in with each other and Mia's kids, leaving Claire to deal with her and Jim's kids on her own. Now, Mia was not as much of a pushover as Claire, so when Jim was discovered having a baby with another mum. Oh Jim. On the playground, Mia kicked Jim out. Well done Mia actually. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Well no, she was having an affair in the first place. Yeah, yeah, I don't think Mia's, you know. No. Anyway, now, so Mia's kicked him out because she's discovered Jim's having another affair. Jim tried hard to get back together with Claire, but Claire was having none of it. Well done, Claire.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Great work, Claire. Actually, it almost feels like a round of applause for Claire there but we're not doing them anymore. I must say it's very interesting to watch it play out from our favourite bench. I bet it fucking was. I'm enjoying this written imagine the sat in the playground. Imagine watching this unfold over a year. Jim arrives and you go which kids are getting? Yeah. Is he getting Claire's? Is he getting Mia's? Is he walking in with Sally? Or is Sally walking in 10 minutes after Jim but with ruffled hair? What's going on? I must say it was very interesting to watch it play out from our favourite bench on the playground. Later I started to work at the high school that Claire and Jim's kids went to
Starting point is 00:25:57 and got to find out that they are still separated and now Jim has three other kids with three other mums from the playground. Fucking hell Jim. Stick a Johnny on Jim! Come on Jimbo! Fuck! Wow. That's tired me out reading it. Imagine actually having that much sex.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It must cost a bomb to have that many illegitimate children. Just the fucking overheads. Can you imagine your WhatsApp groups going off? Imagine trying to keep across three different households with three different school weeks. Oh my God, Jim, you absolute idiot. That was Laura, so thank you for Laura for telling that story.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Have I ever told you, and I don't think I've got a legal issue here, that when I was in year seven, I had an English teacher and he disappeared after the first term and he'd run off with a sick former. Was he that guy that went to France? No, no, no, no, no. She was much younger than the one that went to France. Right. Oh God, that is bad. He ran off with a sick form. Apparently they're happily married still.
Starting point is 00:27:02 So I don't know where that stands on the morals of that. How old was he? Because sixth form would be 17, 18. Well, it's difficult because when you're 11, you feel like every teacher's 50. Yes. But he might have been 25. I can't really remember what he looked like. Because it's just that position of power. Ten-year age gap's fine when you're 39 and 49 and you sort of fill up, come on mate.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Can I just say on the other thing on that, is I did a gig, it was when I was like first touring, so it was about 2012, 13, something like that. And one of my old teachers came to the gig and she was one of the younger, cooler teachers. And then we went out on the lash afterwards. Did you get off with your teacher? Like a group of us, she came, yeah. Basically, she just told me all... because you know when you're a kid, you don't realize that these teachers have a life in the staff room. Yeah. And so there was so much that had happened.
Starting point is 00:28:06 That you weren't allowed to know as a student. You're like, she was fucking him. These two had a fight and this woman left this guy for this teacher. And you're like, this is, if I could grant anyone one wish, go out on the piss with one of your old teachers and ask them what was going on with all the teachers at your school. How old was you when you was going on the latch of your teacher?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Well, I was probably 30. Right, okay. You still remember it all? Yeah. It's like the greatest reality drama ever. Your school, but your teacher telling you at pierce going, I can't believe, look at her, she's drunk. She used to make me do geography.
Starting point is 00:28:41 What did she teach? English. English teachers are always the most mental, I think. Yeah, a bit chill, a bit chill. Hi boys, here we go. Last playground shagger stories. Keep sending them in, I'm enjoying these. Hi boys, obviously you need to keep my name away from this.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Needing capital letters. Oh, I'm fucking Watergate, bloody hell. Keep my name away from this. You asked about shagging dads at the school, and moms to be fair, but we've only got dad stories. We all have the mom's WhatsApp group. I very much have a love slash hate dads at the school. And moms to be fair, but we've only got dad stories. We all have the mom's WhatsApp group. I very much have a love slash hate relationship with the messages.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Most are rubbish, but occasionally they save my skin, reminding me that it's non-uniform day or something similar. Interesting that there's a mom's WhatsApp. So our class has got a mixed gender parents WhatsApp group. Have you got a separate mom's and dad's WhatsApp groups? Well, I was in a group that had all the parents in, and then there's another one set up for five side football
Starting point is 00:29:27 that's got the dads in, but we don't talk about store stuff in there. But I was in a group for my first kid that was all the parents, and then the kids all changed classes, and somehow I've not been added to it, and I've not gone out my way to do it, because I know we talk about mental health and this,
Starting point is 00:29:40 Lou is in charge of the kids and the school and what they're doing and what they're wearing and all that kind of stuff and appointments and stuff that is divided and ideal, all the tax and business stuff for both of us. So that's a sort of division. So actually, I try and stay out of it. But I do put all the dates in my diary, like the important dates and stuff. So I'm across it a little bit, but I'm not in the WhatsApp group. I go to the source myself. There's a good thing on the website, the school, where you can click what you want to be told about and it adds it to your iCalendar. Oh, that's good. So at the moment, I'm not really,
Starting point is 00:30:09 I don't think I'm in any group. There's just too much. I've got my school iCalendar stuff added and it is confusing because sometimes you look at your calendar and you're like, year five trip to science museum or whatever. Yeah, you go, hang on, my kids in year one,
Starting point is 00:30:25 why am I on that one? You have to be quite selective. Let's get back to this WhatsApp. Yeah. We have the mum WhatsApp group very much have a love-hate relationship. One morning anyway, my phone was pinging like mad and I was wondering what the latest message thread
Starting point is 00:30:42 was about hoping it's not another lost water bottle. No, this time one mum had messaged that her child will not be going to the party this weekend because she just found out that her husband was having an affair with the party child's mum. Oh my word. Her child's best friend. Oh fuck me sideways. You know what, I'm going to get on these WhatsApp groups if that's what's going on. That is absolutely tasty as... I will not be attending the party this weekend because I've just discovered my husband's having an affair with the birthday girl's mum.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Fuck here now. God. Did the party go ahead? Well, everyone was offering condolences while the other mum stayed very quiet on the group. Of course she fucking... I don't think the other mum can speak up on the group. What can you say?
Starting point is 00:31:23 At some points it's best just to stay quiet, I think. I don't think you can say the other mum should have gone, held her hands up, I've been fucking him. I do apologise. And she can't leave the group because she needs to know if it's, you know, Muffdy Day next week. Oh, it's Muffdy Day every day the way she's been going. Oh, it's good, isn't it? Good fun. So did the party go ahead? Well, it says here, this is from Anonymous,
Starting point is 00:31:45 these families all stay together, but now do the pick-up from different gates to avoid contact. At the recent concert, I'll sit between them and could feel the pressure of the death stairs through my head. Oh! So they're just awkwardly getting through it. So you can't get away. It's not like a job you can leave or a...
Starting point is 00:32:01 No, I suppose, would you move your kids? But then, why has a kid got to suffer for it? Yeah. Because the dad's a randy little dog. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha in because it's mad. Can I ask a question? Did you fancy any of your teachers? There were a couple but there was none there that like people like they're all a bit older but when you're 14 you find a way. You find a way to fancy something. It's mad isn't it being a 14 year old boy? I think if I'm bored enough I could fancy anyone. You put me in a nine to five office
Starting point is 00:32:43 job, I used to call it board love. Where like, if you're there all day, anyone near you, like, well, I'm like, if I convince myself I like them, it'll make the day easier, won't it? Where did you meet Lou? That's not important. That's not important. That's not important.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. That's not important. I'm gonna bog down by details.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Oh dear. I've got a moving house store. Do you want some more correspondence? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks for all the sending these in, they're so good. What's the moving house thing? Have we asked for that as well? Fuck me, my memory for this show. Yeah, but I think we did ages ago, but we never do correspondence, so then normally What's the moving house thing? Have we asked for that as well? Fuck me, my memory for this show. Yeah, but I think we did ages ago, but then we never do correspondence.
Starting point is 00:33:27 So then normally the way I look at it is if there's one I can't remember. I mean, on this document, famous people who drove past you. Fucking hell. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'll give you that and then moving out. I was pretty funny driving past it. Hi Robin Josh, love the pod, originally from Bromley but having been living in Germany for the last six years with my young family, the pod brings me back to my roots and I get a couple of hours of top British banter.
Starting point is 00:33:56 This sounds like a Nigel Farage policy. I don't wanna bring back top British banter. I think pubs haven't got enough banter in all that bloody work nonsense. Now, so the subject of famous drive-bys, back in 2005, me and my six friends. British Bunter. I think pubs haven't got enough bunter in all that bloody work nonsense. So the subject of Famous Drive Buyers, back in 2005 me and my six friends... Two facts are caught. Famous Drive Buyers, two facts are caught. No one ever said his surname.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Full name. Back in 2005 me and my six friends were having a drink in the pubs of Knightsbridge before a red-hot chilli peppers gig in Hyde Park. As we left the pub, well lubricated, we were waiting to cross the road. As the lights went red, the car that stopped to let us cross was an open-topped army jeep and sitting there in a bright yellow t-shirt, shorts and boxing boots. Let me guess. Go on.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Chris Eubank. Correct. In a rather jolly mood I said hello and he obviously enjoyed being recognised. No shit he's in a jeep in a bright yellow kitchen. He asked where we were going and I said just down the Hyde Park corner and he told us all to hop in. Oh amazing. All of us quickly jumped in the jeep there weren't enough seats for us all but we all piled in. I got the front seat, but some friends were being held onto by others with legs hanging out over the back wheel.
Starting point is 00:35:11 We went a half a mile down the street to Hyde Park corner, desperately trying to get action shots with our knockiers. Imagine this story, but not having your phone to fill like 2005. He dropped us off right at the gates. In my 30 second chat in the front seat, I asked him what he was doing out. He said trying to be inconspicuous. I Don't think it works Anyway, lovely guy very generous and certainly the best way to arrive at a gig a great story to remember as I hadn't thought of it For years amazing keep up the good work. It's a good subject. Did why did we do this?
Starting point is 00:35:42 Did I tell you I crossed a zebra crossing and Gary Neville stopped once? Have I told you that? No, I think this guy spoke about Barack Obama driving past me in Berlin. Oh yeah, that's better than Gary Neville. Well, it depends, isn't it? Not so a Man United fan. No. That was from Rowan Newman, who's from Augsburg, Bavaria. Augsburg. Right, do you want the moving story one?
Starting point is 00:36:00 Is this moving as a moving house, not as in a moving store? Oh yeah, it's not like a tale of woe. As moving house fails. Yeah, again, if you've got famous people that have driven past you, moving house fails, Top Shaggers, Boomer stories, send them in. Yeah. Horriban Josh. Robert's talking about his recent house move and raving about the absolute necessity to use removal companies who pack for you.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Oh, just preach, just preach. It's so much easier, isn't it? Obviously it costs more, but it costs more. It costs more, but I would say this. Mmm. They're so fast. It's easy, isn't it? Obviously it costs more. It costs more, but I would say this. They're so fast. You would make your money back if you just worked in any job
Starting point is 00:36:33 for the period that they're doing it. If you know what I mean. Become an Uber driver for the day. Become an Uber driver today. You'll be in profit over. If you had to pack up your whole house, you'll be so slow at it, it'll be the least money you save ever.
Starting point is 00:36:47 And I'm sure it'll probably work out for the best. So this reminded me of when we moved several years ago, we had also chosen to get everything wrapped and packed rather than doing it ourselves. I thought it'd be very clever in removing all my underwear and hash brown garments. Oh, hash brown was talking about having sex, wasn't it? Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Hash brown garments, all that sexy sexy lingerie so that the removal company wouldn't rifle through everything. Okay fair enough. Hash brown garments what a horrible term that is. Look certainly ages ago I was just talking about that. Yeah. I'm assuming it's woman. Do you have any hash brown garments Josh? Do you wear any sexy outfits for the ladies? I think Rose would throw up if I appeared in a sexy outfit. Do you know what I mean? If I- Fireman helmet.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, I just don't think- And then little braces and trousers. I just don't think it would work for her. Yeah, I don't think there's an outfit. Lou, should I ask? Lou! Ha! Lou, can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:37:41 Oh God, she's coming. She's busy, she's not gonna like this. Got another question? Do you want to come and answer the question? Okay she's coming. I'll put that in for you. Oh has he actually said to the... So just as this lady's talking about having like sexy underwear and sexy clothes, is there an outfit that you'd like me to wear that you think would be sexy? I don't even know how to answer that Rob. Well, just the truth baby.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Like a posing pouch? Like, you know, like a posing pouch like a Chippendale? Or like fireman or a little uniform or just a little pair of tight pants. What do you think? Little pair of tight pants! Would it help? Um, I don't... If there was an Anne Summer for men, is there something that you'd go, oh I don't, I don't, um... If there was that name in Summits for men... Oh God.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Is there something that you'd just go, oh I wouldn't mind Rob wearing that. That's the answer to this. Just the truth, baby. No, I wouldn't. Well, I think we know the truth is no. Just the truth. I'd like Rob in a little posing pouch.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Would you? No, I don't think I've ever thought that thought. So just naked? Just naked. Okay, we've got to rig like mine while I cover it up. Thanks, Lou. No worries, mate. Come on, doggy.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Choo-choo. Oh, hang on, he's caught up in the white. This dog is so fucking thick. So just naked? Just naked. Okay, we've got a rig like mine while covering it up. Thanks, Lou. Don't worry, it's fine, come on doggy. Oh, he's caught up in the white. This dog is so fucking thick. Sorry, Josh.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Right, come on, George. There you go, right. Come on, then. You know the other dog we got, George, he's like so wrong with him, mentally wrong with him. It's not right, Josh. No.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah, Lou doesn't want me to wear anything, Josh. No, that's cool. Just naked. Yeah. That's actually quite complimenting, in a way. You don't draw on the Mona Lisa, do you? want me to wear anything, Josh. No, that's cool. Just naked. Yeah. That's actually quite compliment in a way. You don't draw on the Mona Lisa, do you? You want to be a- Exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:08 You cover me in orange paint like Just Stop Oil. Yeah. Feeling confident I'd packed everything risque away, I presumed they would take the whole bedside table away in one go. My bedside table turned up at the new house in one piece. Everything was still in the drawers. My husband's on the other hand,
Starting point is 00:39:22 had been emptied into a separate bag, which included a ray of old condoms. I mean, I assume still in the drawers. My husband's on the other hand had been emptied into a separate bag which included a ray of old condoms. I mean I assume still in their packet. I don't think he's keeping them for like serial killer prosperity. An array of old condoms, lube and handcuffs. Oh my word. They had clearly seen everything much to my horror. I felt more embarrassed when I realised that one of my ex-pupils was part of the removal company. Oh no! It's got vanantage Shaken at the school gates. Oh my god. Mrs. Luby handcuffs.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Was it him that had seen everything from the bedside table? Suffice to say whilst they were a great removal company, I'm never using them again. Oh my word. Never stop the podcast. You're the highlight of my week. Keep Stan sexy when I call Sophie. There we go. There we go.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I absolutely love it. Fair play. That was good. I enjoyed them. Thank you so much for sending them in. Yeah, thank you for sending them in. I'd say they were more thrilling than my reading list. Oh, absolutely. Us doing this is so much more entertaining than what you've got to read on your holiday. Just listen back to this instead of reading.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Okay, I'll do that. I'll do that. Right, here we go. Hello there. Knowing that Josh is partial, is this small business? I don't know. What are you reading? Are we on to small business? Oh yeah, we are, I thought you were asking me what you were reading was small business.

Starting point is 00:40:34 This is the perfect place to get a well deserved shout out from my brother and his wife who run the New Forest Tea Company. Based in the New Forest, Ian and Kelly established their company during lockdown and they strive to provide ethically sourced premium tea in either fully compatible plastic free tea bags or loose leaf. I think loose leaf is for wankers. I'd go with the tea bags. That's for another day. I hate loose leaf tea. It's not strong enough. Really passionate about that. When you're in a cafe and they bring out a teapot I think what the fuck is wrong with a bag of PG Tips or New Forest
Starting point is 00:41:10 Tea Company? Normal. Yeah that's it normal stuff. Like tea bag in the cup, milk at the same time who gives a fuck. Let's just get on with this. Oh man, tell you what, you're a new man. Exactly. You've got your head right. Surrounded by the beautiful New Forest they're determined to leave no trace investing in packaging from innovative suppliers. They supply the main cafe. Oh, sorry. They supply to many cafes in Hampshire. The main. I was thinking that's a weird thing to say. Supply to many cafes in Hampshire as well as selling retail online www.newforestteacompany.com. This is one for me. Their Instagram is not the loose leaf shit. No. Their Instagram is at New Forest Tea Company dot com. This is one for me. Their Instagram is, not the loose leaf shit.

It's a true family business with me and my mum often doing deliveries for them whilst they're working their socks off, packaging tea and promoting it all over. I would love it if you could give
