we will post it, though. 41 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.140 Look at those children. Oh, those little grandad knobs on 42 00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:01.340 their head. Little grandad dick heads. Oh, that'd be fun 43 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:01.640 to post. 44 00:02:02.189 --> 00:02:05.530 Also attached is Ruby, age three from Cambridge, doing your 45 00:02:05.569 --> 00:02:07.290 name to the intro. And the person who sent that 46 00:02:07.370 --> 00:02:08.789 is called Spike Jackson. 47 00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:11.960 Oh, Spike Jackson. I bet he was a quarterback at 48 00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:12.500 high school. 49 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.879 So thank you to Spike Jackson for both the sound 50 00:02:15.939 --> 00:02:18.909 file and the superb penis content. 51 00:02:19.090 --> 00:02:24.030 A hundred quid, his name's actually Simon. He nicknamed himself Splack. 52 00:02:24.830 --> 00:02:27.689 How are you, Rob? Good, good. Yeah, not too bad. Well, 53 00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:32.319 we should say, we've pre-recorded this week's episodes because this week, 54 00:02:33.219 --> 00:02:36.280 Rose is having a planned C-section. So Tuesday, we'll be 55 00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:39.810 back with baby news. But at the moment, we haven't 56 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:43.289 had that before. Before. We had to record before, so 57 00:02:43.310 --> 00:02:45.379 you had a bit of time. with rows and stuff. 58 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.639 You don't really want to be podcasting on the morning 59 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.419 of the C-section, do you? It would, it would be awkward. 60 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.969 It would be live from the, live from the operating. 61 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.150 Is it operate? Is it delivery room or is it 62 00:02:55.189 --> 00:02:58.729 operating theater? It's basically, it's an operating theater. Yeah. It's weird. 63 00:02:58.750 --> 00:03:01.129 So I know this from the first time when we 64 00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:03.509 had an emergency one that they go around and they 65 00:03:03.530 --> 00:03:06.500 all have to say what they do. Oh, so before 66 00:03:06.530 --> 00:03:11.419 the C-section, they're like, I'm Steve. Uh, my job is to, 67 00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:13.169 it's a bit like the start of like a, Take 68 00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:13.909 me out or something. 69 00:03:15.210 --> 00:03:22.960 Single surgeon, reveal yourself. Let the knife see the skin. Yeah, 70 00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:25.759 it's a weird old one. It's a weird old world, Rob. Well, 71 00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:28.280 good luck with it, Josh. How have you been, though, 72 00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:32.819 apart from C-section? How's the three-year-old excited about the news? 73 00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:38.419 I would say she has definitely got into the idea. 74 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.509 She's really into the idea of... But she seems a 75 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.419 lot happier than she did a couple of weeks ago, Rob. 76 00:03:43.430 --> 00:03:44.469 Oh, that's good. 77 00:03:44.569 --> 00:03:47.590 But I am nervy about it. That's the thing I'm 78 00:03:47.689 --> 00:03:48.810 most nervy about. 79 00:03:49.169 --> 00:03:51.789 Yes. But you can't worry about that. Just concentrate on 80 00:03:51.810 --> 00:03:53.870 the C-section and then that will sort itself out. Do 81 00:03:53.889 --> 00:03:56.729 you just make her feel a bit special? Because I'm 82 00:03:56.770 --> 00:03:59.009 sure Rose's mum will be around to take her out 83 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:00.789 and do things with her. She'll quite enjoy that, I think, 84 00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:03.650 at the start and be quite excited to be a 85 00:04:03.669 --> 00:04:06.009 part of it. I'll be honest with you, Rob. Yeah, 86 00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:07.960 be honest. I'm going to say it. Go on. If 87 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.280 it's all healthy, it's all great. Exactly. 88 00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:13.759 But my friends who've got a two-month-old, their second baby, 89 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.120 they've implied that it's a piece of piss to me, Rob. 90 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:17.620 Wow. Okay. 91 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.310 Their first child really didn't sleep, still doesn't really. So 92 00:04:22.389 --> 00:04:24.290 the fact they've got this baby that just sleeps all 93 00:04:24.310 --> 00:04:25.870 the time, I don't think they can quite believe it. 94 00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:28.250 Yeah, I think also as well, I think, yeah, if 95 00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:29.550 you've got one that sleeps, you're all right. But I 96 00:04:29.569 --> 00:04:32.170 do think it's easier the second time when they're babies. Honestly, 97 00:04:32.189 --> 00:04:34.329 you're not as nervous, not as worried. It just gets 98 00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:36.629 tiring when they get older and they're running. You've got 99 00:04:36.670 --> 00:04:39.230 two kids to chase after. Yeah. Do you reckon there 100 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:42.509 is a bit of a honeymoon period? Definitely. I think so. 101 00:04:42.529 --> 00:04:44.629 Especially when they're first born. Because a lot of the 102 00:04:44.649 --> 00:04:46.329 time they may be getting up in the middle of 103 00:04:46.350 --> 00:04:47.769 the night to feed them, but you are quite used 104 00:04:47.790 --> 00:04:49.149 to waking up in the middle of the night now. 105 00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:52.000 It's not like unheard of to get five hours sleep 106 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:53.600 and be woken up. So you're like, oh, okay, I'll 107 00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:55.600 get up and feed that baby. And then the baby 108 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.579 sleeps during the day and things like that. So it's not. 109 00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:00.569 Too bad. And also she's in preschool, isn't she? And stuff. 110 00:05:00.589 --> 00:05:02.889 It's not the big summer holidays yet. So no, you've got, 111 00:05:03.029 --> 00:05:04.329 you've got a bit of time in the day, just 112 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:06.509 you and the baby in that. Yeah. You'll be fine. 113 00:05:06.810 --> 00:05:09.449

I'll be fine. I'll be fine. I'll be good. I'll 114 00:05:09.470 --> 00:05:10.230 be honest with you, Rob. 115 00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:10.649 Yeah. 116 00:05:11.029 --> 00:05:14.649 I spoke to my publisher and they said, are you 117 00:05:14.670 --> 00:05:15.910 all right just to do a read through of all 118 00:05:15.930 --> 00:05:18.680 the changes next week? And I was like, I have 119 00:05:18.689 --> 00:05:19.699 got quite a lot on. 120 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.040 Cause I don't know about you. When I, when I 121 00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:24.860 had our second baby, I thought, you know what would 122 00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:28.000 make this easier to read through an entire book? To 123 00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:36.189 read a book really intently. Surely someone else can do 124 00:05:36.209 --> 00:05:40.680 that instead of you. You know, it's 3.30 in the morning. Yeah. 125 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.939 The baby's crying. 126 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:44.439 I should just give a look over to that chapter 127 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:46.439 to see whether I libel anyone. 128 00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:49.110 That kind of thing. Surely they could sort that out. 129 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.660 Who's your publisher? Derek Trotter? Oh, they do, Rob. They do. 130 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.060 I've just got trust issues, haven't I? You've got to 131 00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:58.120 learn to delegate. That's what Richard Bryan said. You've got 132 00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:00.050 to learn to delegate. Just trust other people to do it. 133 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.740 Well, they come back. They go, we're just going to 134 00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:05.439 put the book out. We've made the changes. And I go, 135 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.240 I'm sorry, but can we delay the C-section? Because I 136 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.139 do need to read it again. Thank you very much. 137 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.399 I wouldn't read it through. I just trust them to 138 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.620 change the spelling errors. They're not going to publish a 139 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.100 book with spelling mistakes, are they? What if there's no typos, Rob? 140 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.839 But I look like a twat. Well, I'd say sometimes 141 00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:25.319 we are twats. deep why are you hiding it if 142 00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:27.670 you wrote it down you meant it that's my philosophy 143 00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:31.029 do you know what i mean you can go back 144 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:33.329 through it and take it out because you know you 145 00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:35.930 feel guilty but you meant it that's that's the main 146 00:06:35.970 --> 00:06:37.860 thing whether anyone reads it or not you know what 147 00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:40.639 you meant yeah but don't worry it'll be fine it'll 148 00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:42.579 be fine um we've got um do you want a 149 00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:46.639 quick email before we uh introduce our guest choose um 150 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:48.319 should i give you some titles yeah give me some 151 00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:53.509 titles okay school run angst Oh, yes, please.

The 154 00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:01.240 other option is terrifying moment of being locked outside of 155 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.300 the house with the two-year-old, the baby locked inside. Yeah, 156 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.300 that one now, actually. I've changed my mind. That does 157 00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:06.850 sound good. 158 00:07:06.990 --> 00:07:07.199 Yeah. 159 00:07:07.790 --> 00:07:09.689 Both. We'll have both. Let's have both. Let's have both. 160 00:07:09.769 --> 00:07:13.209 Let's treat ourselves. It's Friday, isn't it? It's Friday. Have 161 00:07:13.230 --> 00:07:15.410 you got that Friday feeling, Rob? Are you going golfing? 162 00:07:15.610 --> 00:07:16.990 That's why I'm going off the mic, because I'm doing 163 00:07:17.009 --> 00:07:18.509 that thing in the video. It's Friday, you know, when 164 00:07:18.529 --> 00:07:21.410 the car's going along. It's Friday, then a Thursday. Friday. 165 00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:22.709 Do you know what I'm talking about? 166 00:07:23.149 --> 00:07:25.449 I have never heard that in my life. And it 167 00:07:25.470 --> 00:07:26.529 sounds like you're having a breakdown. 168 00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:28.769 You must have seen it. The gays are in the car. 169 00:07:28.930 --> 00:07:30.649 They drive the car along. He jumps out the car 170 00:07:30.670 --> 00:07:32.990 and he dances alongside the car. And it's like, it's 171 00:07:33.050 --> 00:07:39.129 Friday then. Thursday, Friday. Josh. What are you looking at 172 00:07:39.189 --> 00:07:43.720 on your phone? How is that not in your algorithm? 173 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:47.399 You sound like my wife. You must know that. It's 174 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.399 like a me. What am I looking at on my phone? Generally. 175 00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:56.899 Sports news. Sports news and then texts. Written pornography you like, 176 00:07:56.939 --> 00:07:59.740 don't you? I like written pornography from the Victorian times. 177 00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:03.759 Your favourite one's Busted Flush, isn't it? 178 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:08.199 My friend, Rob, who's a bit, he's sexually odd, let's 179 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:12.240 say that. When he was a teenager, he couldn't access 180 00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:13.639 any pornography in his house. 181 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:19.259 Okay. And he had a wank over the definition of 182 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.990 vagina in the dictionary. That is the weirdest thing I've 183 00:08:23.110 --> 00:08:26.970 ever heard in my life. Are you serious? He was 184 00:08:27.069 --> 00:08:29.360 so in need of stimulus. Oh, my God. 185 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.120 And he lacked imagination so much that he just had 186

00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:35.019 a wank over the definition of vagina in the dictionary. 187 00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:36.679 The only way that would have been weirder if he 188 00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:37.429 did it on Braille. 189 00:08:41.370 --> 00:08:43.639 I just don't know how you could be turned on. 190 00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.379 By the definition of vagina. 191 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.539 Hang on, read it out and let's see if I am. Okay. 192 00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:50.820 Read out the definition of vagina. 193 00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:52.779 This is a terrible thing to have in your Google 194 00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:54.580 search history, but I'm going to. 195 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.299 Give me the definition of a vagina and I'll let 196 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.000 you know if it's doing anything for you. Okay. The 197 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.769 muscular tube... Oh my God, too fair. Muscular got me. 198 00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:09.889 Carry on. I don't think I've encountered muscly ones. The 199 00:09:09.950 --> 00:09:13.409 muscular tube? That is an absolutely ripped fanny, that. Look 200 00:09:13.470 --> 00:09:16.029 at it. Well, I've been working out, Rob. Don't forget 201 00:09:16.070 --> 00:09:20.350 leg day, old faff over there. Look at that. Six 202 00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:23.620 pack on that vagina. I'm exhausted. Sorry, muscular tube. 203 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:27.679 The muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the 204 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:31.080 cervix of the uterus in women and most female mammals. 205 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.940 No, you lost me at muscular. It felt like it 206 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.269 was going down the route, but I don't think I 207 00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:39.330 could have a wank to that. No. You know, I'm 208 00:09:39.370 --> 00:09:42.570 pretty good at them. Yeah, yeah. You know. You've knocked 209 00:09:42.629 --> 00:09:44.379 it out in your time, haven't you? I've worked away 210 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:50.759 from home a lot. Anyway, let's get back to this email. Yeah, okay. 211 00:09:51.019 --> 00:09:52.940 My oldest daughter was two when our son was born. Well, 212 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.919 I know this person, by the way. 213 00:09:54.179 --> 00:09:54.409 What? 214 00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:59.399 You sent the email. The dictionary. Oh, sorry. 215 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.779 Yes, you do know that person, yes. 216 00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:04.659 No, is it? Oh, of course he would. Yeah. It 217 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.039 all makes sense now. Knowing him, that's more of a 218 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.250 Josh Riddick. I've never had a Krispy Kreme brag, I think. 219 00:10:10.509 --> 00:10:11.370 More than perfect. 220 00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:14.389 Well, should I tell you another thing that he's done 221 00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:15.809 as well? Because we're not naming him. 222 00:10:16.090 --> 00:10:19.250 No. He was once a broad... Yeah. And he couldn't 223 00:10:19.330 --> 00:10:23.389 access his pornography. Yeah. Uh, so he drew his own pornography. 224 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:29.789 I mean, that is absolutely insane. How did he have 225 00:10:29.809 --> 00:10:36.100 the patience? I can't deal with buffering. Do you want 226 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:39.720 to know what he drew? Yeah. I want to know. Uh, 227 00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:43.980 it was a, a woman giving a blow job. Yep. Right. 228 00:10:44.539 --> 00:10:48.590 But, um, because he, uh, didn't want to draw the 229 00:10:48.610 --> 00:10:52.220 naked man. It was basically a woman giving a blowjob 230 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.779 to a penis and balls that were just floating in 231 00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:56.120 the air. 232 00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.559 And what a guy he is. I think we need more, 233 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.139 we need to give him a name and more stories 234 00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:04.820 about him and we'll never reveal what he's called. 235 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.210 We could get him to call in to the show 236 00:11:07.509 --> 00:11:09.350 on a different day and we'll put one of those 237 00:11:09.389 --> 00:11:13.250 voice things on it. My eldest daughter was two when 238 00:11:13.289 --> 00:11:17.029 our son was born. She was about to drop something, something. 239 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:25.450 She was very excited. He is a very good artist. Wanksy. 240 00:11:25.529 --> 00:11:30.649 His name's Wanksy. Oh, glorious. That is glorious. Good stuff, 241 00:11:30.690 --> 00:11:30.929 isn't it? 242 00:11:30.970 --> 00:11:34.769 Really good stuff. My oldest daughter was two when our 243 00:11:34.789 --> 00:11:37.149 son was born. She was very excited about it. It's 244 00:11:37.169 --> 00:11:39.899 been a real gear change in that sentence. 245 00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:44.679 From C-section to invisible men's dicks. She was very excited 246 00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:45.659 about the new baby. 247 00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:47.360 And we did all the, what do you think it 248 00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:49.500 will be like when he, she is here chats with her. 249 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.460 Yeah. First off, she liked him for all about two minutes. 250 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.659 Should we read this out on Tuesday? Cause we've done 251 00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:57.779 20 minutes. We only want to do 10. 252 00:11:57.779 --> 00:12:01.000 Lucy Pond. We'll stick, we'll stick a pin in Lucy 253 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:01.679 Pond's email. 254 00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:03.480 This is Pond. I'm sorry about this. 255 00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:06.700 We're sorry, Lucy, but we feel it's more respectful. 256 00:12:06.179 --> 00:12:19.710 To invisible dicks to children. Let's move Pond to Tuesday. Hello, everyone. 257 00:12:19.789 --> 00:12:20.549 It's Alan here. 258 00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:23.370 I just wanted to tell you about my brand-new podcast 259 00:12:23.429 --> 00:12:27.429 coming next week, Lights of Beach. This podcast is the 260 00:12:27.490 --> 00:12:31.220 escapism we

all need right now. I sat down and 261 00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:34.019 chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel, 262 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.759 from caravanning in Rio to private jetting to the Maldives. 263 00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:41.370 My guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and 264 00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:45.289 dream destinations. Let's face it, we might not have the 265 00:12:45.389 --> 00:12:47.730 sun on our faces, but after a listen to this, 266 00:12:47.769 --> 00:12:51.610 you'll definitely have a smile. First episode is the very 267 00:12:51.690 --> 00:12:56.059 funny Romesh Ranganathan. And coming up, we've got Robbie Williams, 268 00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.940 Jessie Ware and her mum Lenny, Michael McIntyre, Rufus Wainwright, 269 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:06.500 Rob Rinder, James Blunt, Dustin Lance Black. Oh, fasten your seatbelts. 270 00:13:06.610 --> 00:13:08.950 It's going to be a fantastic ride. 271 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.000 Sam Quek, welcome to the podcast. You are our first 272 00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:19.299 Olympic gold medalist. 273 00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.320 Oh, I'm honoured. Thank you. 274 00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:24.639 That is exciting though. That is such a big achievement. 275 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.690 Do you get bored of it being brought up or 276 00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:29.129 does it still feel good when you hear it? 277 00:13:29.149 --> 00:13:31.350 No, it still feels good. Even when I get my medal, 278 00:13:31.370 --> 00:13:34.230 sometimes it still feels good. Any opportunity, I'm like, oh, 279 00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:34.850 here's my medal. 280 00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:37.309 Have you put your medal on your baby? 281 00:13:37.330 --> 00:13:39.940 I actually haven't put it on her. I put it 282 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.940 next to her. I took a photo with it because 283 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.210 she had like her own little personal portrait photo shoot 284 00:13:44.230 --> 00:13:48.399 a few weeks ago. So she actually, the gold medals 285 00:13:48.470 --> 00:13:50.970 are getting bigger and bigger. But bless Molly, she makes 286 00:13:51.009 --> 00:13:53.350 it look even bigger because she's so small. 287 00:13:54.649 --> 00:13:57.110 So what's the setup at home? You've got one child? 288 00:13:57.169 --> 00:14:01.669 Yes, one child who is eight weeks this week. So 289 00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:02.289 proper fresh. 290 00:14:02.629 --> 00:14:05.610 How are you feeling? Because I think at eight weeks old, 291 00:14:05.690 --> 00:14:08.299 I wouldn't have... been able to speak to someone about 292 00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:11.179 having it so in the trenches. But how's it going? 293 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.100 It's going really well. I'm blessed to have Tom, who's brilliant. 294 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.980 I mean, I'm not great at the best of times 295 00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:20.620 without sleep, but he is really stepping up to do 296 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.980 some of the night feeds. So I'm actually feeling okay. 297 00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.960 The first two weeks are really tough. I think you 298 00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:27.659 just got to, well, like, you know, figure out the 299 00:14:27.700 --> 00:14:30.039 baby and what their cues are, what they like, what 300 00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:32.340 they don't like, what works, what doesn't work. So I 301 00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:34.450 can sit here at eight weeks and say, listen, it's 302 00:14:34.490 --> 00:14:37.429 not easy. I don't think it's easy for anyone, but 303 00:14:37.629 --> 00:14:39.639 I can't complain because she is a star and I've 304 00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:40.580 got a good support system. 305 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.440 What I like is you do slightly talk, you still 306 00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:47.899 talk slightly like you're discussing a run of sporting fixtures. 307 00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:50.080 It's bad to say that, Josh. That was a classic 308 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.360 response from an athlete. It was emotionless, broken down into 309 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.500 what is our goal? How are we going to attack it? 310 00:14:56.860 --> 00:14:59.559 And we're being successful. Let's just crack on. It's a 311 00:14:59.580 --> 00:15:01.600 new week next week. The boys are happy in the 312 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.080 changing room. 313 00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:03.220 We'll print out the next spreadsheet. 314 00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:08.730 Are you very organised then? You sound a very organised 315 00:15:08.789 --> 00:15:09.389 and controlled mum. 316 00:15:09.409 --> 00:15:11.940 Would you say, you know, we've had poo splats all 317 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.620 over the white wardrobes a number of times, you know, 318 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.899 puke filled clothes and whatnot. Just the standard. I think 319 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:19.639 most parents will probably know what I'm going on about, 320 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.519 but I didn't expect it to be what it is. 321 00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:24.889 I don't know why. I just, every so often I 322 00:15:24.929 --> 00:15:26.970 look at her and I'm like, oh my God, that's mine. 323 00:15:27.110 --> 00:15:32.129 LAUGHTER Is it a responsibility or an excitement sort of 324 00:15:32.169 --> 00:15:32.629 way or both? 325 00:15:32.649 --> 00:15:35.240 Both, both because I've always, especially as an athlete, you 326 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.399 grow up and you have to be really selfish. Even 327 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.539 to the point in a relationship, I was very much, 328 00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:43.519 it was always about me, what I couldn't go to, 329 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.139 what dates were I available to, can I drink, can 330 00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:49.240 I not drink? And then like that was marriage and 331 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.110 then just me and Tom, but now I've got a kid. 332 00:15:51.610 --> 00:15:54.090 It's like another level of, oh my God, you have 333 00:15:54.110 -->

00:15:56.809 to look after this thing who can't do anything for itself. 334 00:15:57.850 --> 00:16:00.139 And even just like, I mean, I'm expressing and I 335 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.509 feel like a cow that needs to be milked, but 336 00:16:02.529 --> 00:16:05.570 because she's getting bigger, she's wanting more milk. And I'm like, oh, 337 00:16:05.590 --> 00:16:08.470 my God, just even stuff like that, trying to provide 338 00:16:08.509 --> 00:16:09.710 milk for a child. 339 00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:13.049 Peep up demand. It's like a small brand that's popped 340 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.139 off in lockdown on Insta. You haven't got the supply 341 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:16.980 chain yet. 342 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.320 Well, I said to my husband, I said, I'm just 343 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:20.700 pumping milk. What are we going to do with all 344 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.440 this milk? And he said, I can definitely get some 345 00:16:22.659 --> 00:16:26.460 away on eBay, definitely. I'm an Olympic gold medalist. We'll 346 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.440 make a good. 347 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:32.370 LAUGHTER Gold medal milk, the fuel of champions. 348 00:16:33.389 --> 00:16:35.940 Very strange piece of sporting memorabilia. 349 00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:37.740 I think it would sell. 350 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:40.559 You say that, but I've been asked for some really 351 00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:44.759 weird stuff before. Some people wanted my old shoes and socks. 352 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:46.299 I don't know what they wanted them for. 353 00:16:47.179 --> 00:16:47.820 I think I do. 354 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.840 What do you think? 355 00:16:51.659 --> 00:16:53.750 You know. Let's not be naive about this. This is 356 00:16:53.809 --> 00:16:55.350 some sick fucks knocking about, Sam. 357 00:16:55.710 --> 00:16:58.269 Another request as well. Someone wanted a recording of me, 358 00:16:58.350 --> 00:16:59.929 of me farting through a walkie-talkie. 359 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:01.159 Oh, wow. 360 00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:02.320 That's the best one I've had. 361 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.720 The walkie-talkie is perhaps the weirdest bit of that. 362 00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:06.319 Well, it's not actually. 363 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:07.500 It's not the weirdest bit of that. 364 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:14.049 So you're eight weeks in. Do you feel like sleep 365 00:17:14.069 --> 00:17:18.549 deprived at all? Or you seem like you're pretty with it. 366 00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:21.450 It's because I've had a coffee. I mean, I used 367 00:17:21.470 --> 00:17:23.630 to be a coffee fiend and then obviously cut it 368 00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:26.240 down or didn't really have any during pregnancy. So now 369 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.160 like when I have a whiff of coffee, I am 370 00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:29.059 bouncing off the walls. 371 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.099 Oh, I bet. 372 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.339 Yeah, it's like when you don't drink for a while 373 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:33.980 and then you're hammered after one pint. 374 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.420 Yeah, I've still got that to come, actually. I've still 375 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.339 got my first drink slash binge drink to come post-pregnancy. 376 00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:44.049 Yeah, have you got anything booked in? Because as a comedian, 377 00:17:44.230 --> 00:17:49.390 the first night out of a recent mum is normally 378 00:17:49.509 --> 00:17:52.869 pretty hardcore. That is when people really let loose because 379 00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:55.130 it's been over a year normally with the pregnancy and 380 00:17:55.150 --> 00:17:57.130 then the baby being small. Have you got that night 381 00:17:57.170 --> 00:17:57.630 out booked? 382 00:17:58.289 --> 00:18:00.690 Um, I've got my good friend's hen do down in 383 00:18:00.730 --> 00:18:02.880 London actually on the 22nd of May. So that's the next, 384 00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.920 that'll be a big event. 385 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.099 Is it the first time you have left your daughter? 386 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.000 Um, overnight. 387 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:09.839 Yeah. Yeah. How'd you feel? 388 00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:13.750 A little bit nervous, but then I say that, but 389 00:18:13.789 --> 00:18:15.390 knowing me, like as soon as I get a drink 390 00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:20.549 in my hand and sunshine and I'll be like, but no, 391 00:18:20.630 --> 00:18:24.420 I think, I mean, I trust Tom implicitly. So, I 392 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.339 won't be too nervous. I'll probably miss her, but. 393 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.680 And how's it working for you? Because you don't play 394 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.529 hockey anymore. And so your schedule isn't as intense as 395 00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:33.130 an athlete's now, but now it's a bit more ad 396 00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:35.349 hoc media stuff. And me and Josh work in the 397 00:18:35.369 --> 00:18:38.210 media and freelance stuff. Sometimes you're working every day at 398 00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:40.609 weird hours or you're not working at all. Have you 399 00:18:40.930 --> 00:18:42.869 taken a block of time off? Were you going straight 400 00:18:42.910 --> 00:18:45.930 back in? What's your plan? That's the tricky thing, isn't it? 401 00:18:45.950 --> 00:18:48.069 With the childcare and stuff. Yeah, massively. 402 00:18:48.089 --> 00:18:50.250 And I think having a child that small, you can 403 00:18:50.289 --> 00:18:52.190 make a schedule, but it's all on her schedule and 404 00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:54.269 all on her. She'll eat when she wants to eat. 405 00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:56.289 You can plan to leave at a certain time and 406 00:18:56.309 --> 00:18:57.730 then you just end up being half an hour late 407 00:18:58.549 --> 00:19:01.029 for whatever reason. But in terms of work, it's been 408 00:19:01.089 --> 00:19:04.960 okay because I'm lucky enough and fortunate enough now to 409 00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:07.779 be in a position where I

can afford to say, actually, 410 00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:09.660 I can't do that job, but I can do that job. 411 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.960 It's not too bad. I've worked a few days since... Actually, 412 00:19:13.990 --> 00:19:17.349 a week after she was born, I was filming Who 413 00:19:17.390 --> 00:19:18.230 Wants to Be a Millionaire? 414 00:19:19.069 --> 00:19:20.910 No. How many days? 415 00:19:21.549 --> 00:19:22.990 It was only the day. It was only in Salford, 416 00:19:23.009 --> 00:19:24.630 so it was only about 45 minutes from us. 417 00:19:24.630 --> 00:19:26.759 Oh, no, but how many days after the baby was 418 00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.599 born was that? A week. 419 00:19:27.670 --> 00:19:28.140 A week? 420 00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:29.019 Wow. 421 00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:32.180 I can't tell you the opportunity to win a good 422 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:33.299 amount of money for a charity. 423 00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:37.559 For charity? No chance after a week old. I thought 424 00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:42.869 you was going to do it yourself. I'm joking. So 425 00:19:43.170 --> 00:19:44.109 did you bring her with you? 426 00:19:44.930 --> 00:19:48.109 Yeah, so we went to the studio and Tom came 427 00:19:48.150 --> 00:19:50.750 with me and I kind of sat in the dressing room, 428 00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:54.190 had my Nando's, getting Molly a feed, and then I 429 00:19:54.230 --> 00:19:56.539 went down to the green room to record and Tom 430 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.839 was there, pushing her in the pram, feeding her. 431 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.980 Tom weren't phoning a friend, was he? You're like, quick question, 432 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.819 leave it. He's gone down, whispering. He's asleep, Sam. 433 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.630 He was and he got it wrong. I think it 434 00:20:11.650 --> 00:20:13.579 was because of the whole like had baby in one 435 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:15.519 hand and phone in the other and was like getting 436 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:16.259 proper stress. 437 00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:18.960 So basically the first person you hung out with away 438 00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:20.400 from your baby was Jeremy Clarkson. 439 00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:22.619 I know. I've got actually, I've got a picture sat 440 00:20:22.660 --> 00:20:24.859 on the chair with the baby and Jeremy Clarkson and 441 00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.519 Jeremy was brilliant. He was a good crack, but he 442 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.980 did not crack a smile. It's just, it's like, it's 443 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.819 the funniest picture. So when it airs, I'm actually going 444 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:33.380 to post that picture on my Instagram. 445 00:20:33.539 --> 00:20:34.299 Oh yeah, defo. 446 00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:36.400 Everyone to share the joy in that picture. 447 00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:38.859 Yeah. How did you feel, though, like, you know, in 448 00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:41.339 yourself going on telly? Because, you know, there's a lot 449 00:20:41.380

--> 00:20:44.920 of people after giving birth a week later would feel 450 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.440 very self-conscious about going on telly after a week. Was 451 00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:50.480 you nervous? Was you worried? Or you just didn't care? 452 00:20:50.730 --> 00:20:51.390 How did you feel? 453 00:20:51.410 --> 00:20:54.490 I was probably, to be honest, still off my head 454 00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:57.930 on all the dimorphine and everything else that I had 455 00:20:58.069 --> 00:21:00.309 during the thing. But I was okay. I was obviously 456 00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:03.309 nervous because it's more the logistics. I get quite wound up, like, 457 00:21:03.329 --> 00:21:04.569 where am I going to park the pram? What if 458 00:21:04.609 --> 00:21:05.730 she's hot? What if it's cold? 459 00:21:05.750 --> 00:21:05.829 Yeah. 460 00:21:06.049 --> 00:21:07.710 Have I got this? Have I got that? But it 461 00:21:07.789 --> 00:21:09.410 felt like I was packing for a week away. 462 00:21:09.609 --> 00:21:10.329 I'm not going to. 463 00:21:11.210 --> 00:21:13.230 Normally you just get your handbag, your purse, your phone, 464 00:21:13.490 --> 00:21:16.190 bit of lippy, everything you need. And then, but with 465 00:21:16.230 --> 00:21:18.740 a baby, honestly, it's like two bags, pram. 466 00:21:19.549 --> 00:21:22.210 Well, yeah, also as well, it's a 45-minute journey. That's 467 00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:24.930 quite a lumpy journey, you were saying, to get there. 468 00:21:25.069 --> 00:21:27.769 Because even if you were visiting someone 45 minutes away, 469 00:21:27.829 --> 00:21:29.829 that would be a stressful day and you'd be going 470 00:21:29.849 --> 00:21:31.509 in their house. But to go there and then sit 471 00:21:31.569 --> 00:21:34.910 opposite Jeremy Clarkson with the pressure to win money for charity, 472 00:21:34.950 --> 00:21:36.769 that is an intense afternoon. 473 00:21:36.950 --> 00:21:41.150 Mate, it was really intense. But as I say, I 474 00:21:41.170 --> 00:21:43.569 think I started packing two days before I actually had 475 00:21:43.609 --> 00:21:45.809 to be there because there's just so much stuff to remember. 476 00:21:45.869 --> 00:21:48.730 And it was the first time we'd been out. But 477 00:21:49.130 --> 00:21:51.250 I was a little bit sore, but found the best 478 00:21:51.289 --> 00:21:53.450 pair of Spanx and Hold Me In's, you know, and 479 00:21:53.470 --> 00:21:55.470 all that. Bit of professional help on the hair and face. 480 00:21:55.549 --> 00:21:57.289 And I felt like a new woman. I just couldn't 481 00:21:57.329 --> 00:21:59.190 eat or drink too much because the amount of elastic 482 00:21:59.230 --> 00:22:00.450 I was wearing around my waist. 483 00:22:01.609 --> 00:22:07.599 Fair enough. Well, well played. Yeah. Now, no one will 484 00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:09.200 be able to watch that episode of her going, a 485 00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.519 week ago she gave birth. No. Unbelievable. You should just 486 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.450 get the prize pot for that. Never mind the questions. 487 00:22:15.630 --> 00:22:18.670 I hope so. I did blather that point time and 488 00:22:18.690 --> 00:22:22.230 time again in case I got any ridiculously easy questions wrong. 489 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:29.789 I was like really conscious as well. I had to 490 00:22:29.829 --> 00:22:33.539 change colour top. because of my boobs kept leaking. Yeah, 491 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:35.960 so proper boob leakage. And I was like, I had 492 00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:40.109 this like ready top on, but I was like, that's 493 00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:41.509 not going to be great, is it? If I start 494 00:22:41.569 --> 00:22:45.730 sweating on whatever thousand pound question, getting a little nervous, or, 495 00:22:45.750 --> 00:22:47.549 you know, I hear a baby cry in the background. 496 00:22:48.130 --> 00:22:50.039 People aren't going to want to see leaky boobs on 497 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.460 national TV. 498 00:22:50.490 --> 00:22:52.819 No. And going forward with the stuff like that, is 499 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:55.140 Tom working full time? Is Tom, what's the plan with 500 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.220 the parenting? Is it going to be 50-50? Or is 501 00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.660 it going to be flexible? Like, How do you see 502 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:00.980 it going with that kind of thing? Because you have 503 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.819 to have that conversation, don't you, when the baby's coming? 504 00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:06.450 Yeah, we're really fortunate because he's got his own company. 505 00:23:06.470 --> 00:23:08.630 He works a lot from home. So as long as 506 00:23:08.690 --> 00:23:11.170 I tell him in advance my diary and what I 507 00:23:11.210 --> 00:23:14.089 need to do. So, for example, he's upstairs in bed 508 00:23:14.410 --> 00:23:16.430 at the moment because he did the night feed last night. 509 00:23:16.450 --> 00:23:18.150 So he was having a nap. And I was like, 510 00:23:18.190 --> 00:23:19.509 I've got to go. Here you go. So I, like, 511 00:23:19.589 --> 00:23:22.109 pushed a little, you know, next to me bed into 512 00:23:22.150 --> 00:23:24.670 the spare room where he sometimes spends his time. 513 00:23:24.690 --> 00:23:29.730 LAUGHTER yeah oh so it's nice and flexible that's a 514 00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:31.650 good way because it must be it's so hard to 515 00:23:31.670 --> 00:23:33.619 try and balance that but that works really well then 516 00:23:33.630 --> 00:23:34.309 I imagine. 517 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:36.339 Yeah definitely and it's like you say with our work 518 00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:38.579 it's you never really know where you are you know 519 00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:40.380 unless it's like a week I mean a week in 520 00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:43.519 advance is generous on time sometimes in this industry isn't 521 00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:44.940 it knowing where you're going to be yeah. 522 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.500 And I think

like sometimes I don't really appreciate how 523 00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:50.420 like much Lou has to sort of compromise to fitting 524 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.089 around that even though I'm not choosing for that to 525 00:23:52.130 --> 00:23:53.710 happen but like you say if a call comes in 526 00:23:53.750 --> 00:23:56.359 and goes There's this thing next week. You just have 527 00:23:56.380 --> 00:23:57.960 to go, Lou, you've got to do that. Or Tom, 528 00:23:57.980 --> 00:23:59.339 you've got to do that. So at least, you know, 529 00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:01.319 it makes a massive, it really helps, doesn't it? Take 530 00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:01.900 the stress off. 531 00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:03.599 Yeah, but you said you've got a little one running 532 00:24:03.619 --> 00:24:04.819 around the garden at the moment, haven't you? 533 00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:07.480 Yeah, well, yeah. Okay, you've dogged me in. I said 534 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.119 that in confidence. Lou went to pick up the old 535 00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:12.730 dish from school and we were recording this and there's 536 00:24:12.769 --> 00:24:15.309 a three-year-old in my garden, which is mine. Which is yours, 537 00:24:15.329 --> 00:24:17.339 to be clear. I'll be honest with you, yeah. There 538 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.539 was about six minutes I'd forgot that she was still here. 539 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:20.980 But then I checked and she was on the slide 540 00:24:21.009 --> 00:24:22.990 and it was fine. So is she still running around 541 00:24:23.009 --> 00:24:23.829 the slide now, Rob? 542 00:24:24.289 --> 00:24:24.589 No, no. 543 00:24:24.869 --> 00:24:27.220 She's sort of just laying next to it, not moving. No, no. 544 00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:31.230 Lose back. Lose back. All my kids are fine and safe. 545 00:24:31.309 --> 00:24:32.069 They're all good. 546 00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:36.720 So with Tom doing the night feeds and stuff, do 547 00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:40.319 you just sleep through fine? Or do you feel any 548 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.160 guilt about him doing the nights? 549 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:43.259 No. No. 550 00:24:47.210 --> 00:24:49.970 No, we do take it into, he does the majority 551 00:24:50.450 --> 00:24:53.170 of nights, but I do some nights as well. But 552 00:24:53.609 --> 00:24:55.789 to be honest, I said to Tom, listen, we may 553 00:24:55.829 --> 00:24:57.049 as well kind of share and do a bit of 554 00:24:57.069 --> 00:24:59.430 both or I can do more nights because going back 555 00:24:59.470 --> 00:25:01.480 to the whole boob situation, I have to get up 556 00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.500 every like three or four hours to express. So I'm 557 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.920 up and about anyway. But she actually, I mean, I 558 00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:11.539 say this touching word, last night she slept from, She 559 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:14.039 had a big bottle at about half twelve, one o'clock, 560 00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:15.660 and she slept all the

way through till seven. 561 00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.240 Oh, my God. I mean, this compared to the Tom 562 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.700 Parry episode, who also had a child of eight weeks old, 563 00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:26.930 is absolutely miles apart. I've got a dream. 564 00:25:26.970 --> 00:25:27.829 She loves to dream. 565 00:25:28.289 --> 00:25:30.589 Well, I think there's a combo where it might be 566 00:25:30.630 --> 00:25:32.490 she's quite a dream and she's a good sleeper, but 567 00:25:32.529 --> 00:25:35.170 also it does feel like your life's a lot more 568 00:25:35.250 --> 00:25:38.309 structured than Tom Parry's. Either that or I'm just. 569 00:25:38.130 --> 00:25:39.700 Not waking up listening and crying. 570 00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:42.779 Yeah, just letting her scream. Oh, that's good though, because 571 00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:46.039 that little extra sleep makes a massive difference, I suppose. 572 00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:50.269 Do you find, but you feel like you're a together person. 573 00:25:50.609 --> 00:25:53.490 Surely there's like a mental strength you get from being 574 00:25:53.529 --> 00:25:58.589 a kind of top sports star. What a weird phrase. 575 00:25:58.670 --> 00:25:59.809 I just used sports star. 576 00:25:59.849 --> 00:26:02.650 She's a sports star. Yeah, you are. You're getting old. 577 00:26:02.670 --> 00:26:04.950 I think this is you getting old. He's a really 578 00:26:04.990 --> 00:26:10.079 weird terminology. I just had visions of your voice when 579 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.539 you're 80 and it is going to be so mental. 580 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:17.079 You sound 70 now. Look at Josh Millican's voice when 581 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.140 he's 80. Are you one of them sports stars? 582 00:26:20.420 --> 00:26:23.509 I found my mental strength was really tested in those 583 00:26:23.549 --> 00:26:25.910 first two months. But you feel like you've just You've 584 00:26:25.950 --> 00:26:26.730 walked it, Sam. 585 00:26:27.069 --> 00:26:30.059 No, listen, it sounds great. But the first two weeks 586 00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:32.539 I was an emotional wreck. Like I was crying at 587 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.579 the most ridiculous things. I remember walking down the stairs 588 00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.880 with her and I just burst into tears, walked into 589 00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:41.240 the kitchen and sat there like sobbing, but like not 590 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.140 even crying, like uncontrollable sobbing. Cause I thought, oh my God, 591 00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:46.700 what if I drop her down the stairs? 592 00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:47.660 Yeah. 593 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:50.039 Like I hadn't dropped her down the stairs. Like nothing 594 00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:51.859 was wrong, but like all these thoughts and I just 595 00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:53.700 burst into tears and Tom walked in and he was like, 596 00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.569 oh my, what is wrong with you? And I was like, 597 00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:58.240 I just thought, what if I drop her down the stairs, 598 00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.960 like just irrationally. 599 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.549 Which is your hormones go mad, don't they? After you 600 00:27:02.769 --> 00:27:05.670 give birth. I think when we did NCT, they spoke 601 00:27:05.710 --> 00:27:08.049 about it and just like your body's just flooded with 602 00:27:08.089 --> 00:27:10.569 hormones and it's sort of good or bad and energy 603 00:27:10.589 --> 00:27:12.569 and all sorts that sends you a bit. you know, 604 00:27:12.589 --> 00:27:14.069 off the Richter for a few weeks. 605 00:27:14.089 --> 00:27:17.750 Say it absolutely or repeat doolally, whatever you can say. 606 00:27:17.549 --> 00:27:19.750 To your baby. I don't know what that would be. 607 00:27:19.769 --> 00:27:22.349 Just a heads up for Tom, that doesn't sort of 608 00:27:22.390 --> 00:27:25.119 completely ebb away. That will happen when they're at four 609 00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:28.680 and they're having hormonal arguments with the kids. 610 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.079 It's mad though because you know that you're, there's like, 611 00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:34.779 I would start an argument but then know in the 612 00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:36.960 back of my head, Sam, you're just being ridiculous here. 613 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.559 But then me being stubborn, I carry, I go through 614 00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.680 with the argument and still try to argue because I 615 00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:45.259 just don't, my little voice, I don't, I want to 616 00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:47.140 prove my little voice in my head wrong. So Tom 617 00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.819 is onto a no winner sometimes, especially. 618 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.000 What have you argued with him about then in the 619 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:54.460 last couple of weeks? So like, you know, you were 620 00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:56.769 in like the sort of the wrong, but you fancied around. 621 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.829 Just loads. Part of me is just like, I had 622 00:28:00.849 --> 00:28:02.250 to learn to just let him get on with it. 623 00:28:02.289 --> 00:28:05.329 So we had this big argument about microwaving breast milk. 624 00:28:07.190 --> 00:28:07.569 Sorry. 625 00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:12.099 So, from your... Would you microwave milk, Rob, Josh? 626 00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:21.819 I'd... I'd... I would... I would... Boil water. I would 627 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.099 do boiling water into a bowl and then put the 628 00:28:24.220 --> 00:28:26.500 milk bottle in it rather than microwave it, but I 629 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.119 don't know why. That just seems like a more organic 630 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:31.440 way of doing it. Well, would you microwave it? 631 00:28:31.650 --> 00:28:33.690 No, so I'd do the same as you, but after 632 00:28:33.750 --> 00:28:36.130 the argument, Tom now does it in boiled water. 633 00:28:36.730 --> 00:28:39.109 But before it was microwaving. So what is

wrong with 634 00:28:39.190 --> 00:28:40.829 microwaving it, though? It does seem more efficient. 635 00:28:41.309 --> 00:28:41.529 It is. 636 00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:45.079 Everyone I know, I mean, it's not recommended to microwave 637 00:28:45.099 --> 00:28:47.819 it because you get hot spots in it. okay oh 638 00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:50.119 it's everyone i know and i've spoken to have been 639 00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:51.500 like yeah i just microwave it when you've got a 640 00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:54.220 crying baby put it in for like 20 seconds and 641 00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.559 it's right you don't get it piping hot. 642 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.029 I forgot about heating up the milk like i'm so 643 00:29:00.089 --> 00:29:01.589 far away from well. 644 00:29:01.549 --> 00:29:03.309 You better fucking remember mate you've got a kid i'm. 645 00:29:03.269 --> 00:29:07.170 Coming in weeks but like um yeah two and a 646 00:29:07.890 --> 00:29:09.990 half weeks and i'm back at it with the old 647 00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:12.220 microwave i haven't even got a microwave. 648 00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:16.700 You can just put it in the sun. Should be 649 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.619 done by dawn. That's how we do it now, aren't we? 650 00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:23.039 But I tell you what's good, though, if you do 651 00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:25.960 go into bottle or, like, formula, because we didn't do 652 00:29:26.009 --> 00:29:28.490 breast for whatever reason, breast milk for too long, the 653 00:29:28.589 --> 00:29:32.529 Tommy Tippies are really good because it makes the formula 654 00:29:32.549 --> 00:29:34.609 milk really well at the right temperature. But, yeah, it does. 655 00:29:34.690 --> 00:29:36.890 Because I do that sometimes when you're cooking a curry, 656 00:29:37.309 --> 00:29:39.410 there's a bit of chicken that is, like, hotter than 657 00:29:39.430 --> 00:29:41.490 the sun than an actual bit of ice next to it. 658 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:43.579 So it must do the same with milk, just sort 659 00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:46.829 of get hot spots. But we're learning here, Josh. We are. 660 00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:48.250 I'll be honest with you. 661 00:29:48.349 --> 00:29:51.930 It just, that has really brought home to me how 662 00:29:52.589 --> 00:29:55.609 disconnected I am from the experience of having a baby. 663 00:29:55.950 --> 00:29:57.710 You know when you have a baby and you ask 664 00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:59.799 people who've got a two-year-old, you're like, did you go 665 00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.819 through this phase? And they're like, oh, I don't really remember. 666 00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:03.619 And you're like, what is wrong with you? 667 00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:05.779 But that's who I am. 668 00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:08.079 Maybe it's like a human reaction to because it was 669 00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:10.880 like so terrible, like childbirth. You just forget about it 670 00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:12.660 and you think, you know, let's have

another one. So 671 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:14.579 like the time it was, maybe people forget. 672 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.319 Yeah. I mean, so what was the argument about just 673 00:30:18.339 --> 00:30:20.140 that you shouldn't do it in a microwave? And he said, 674 00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:22.660 it doesn't matter. And you argued, but then he eventually 675 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.019 gave in. 676 00:30:23.450 --> 00:30:25.329 Yeah, but then it's just like irrational stuff when you're 677 00:30:25.349 --> 00:30:27.410 tired as well. Like who's taking out the nappy bin next? 678 00:30:27.930 --> 00:30:32.160 Yeah. Do you pick fights for reaction, Sam? 679 00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.440 No, I pick fights because I probably get a little 680 00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:36.400 bit moody because I'm either tired or hungry. 681 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:39.750 Okay. So it's sort of a way to sort of, 682 00:30:39.769 --> 00:30:41.289 you feel like I want to vent, but I need 683 00:30:41.309 --> 00:30:41.769 a reason. 684 00:30:42.410 --> 00:30:44.470 Yeah, but I'm also, I'll hold my hands up and 685 00:30:44.490 --> 00:30:45.930 say I am at times a little bit of a 686 00:30:45.930 --> 00:30:49.640 control freak. And I think that is just being part 687 00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.819 and part of like an athlete because you're in control 688 00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:54.440 of your body, your schedule and bits and bobs like that. 689 00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:58.640 So sometimes I'm terrible at not communicating, but I'll automatically 690 00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.279 think that Tom knows what I'm thinking. So if in 691 00:31:01.339 --> 00:31:03.519 my head, I'm like, right, I've packed that, I've packed this, 692 00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:05.740 I've packed that, we'll leave at 10. And I've not 693 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.579 said that to Tom. My head sometimes presumes that he 694 00:31:08.619 --> 00:31:10.940 knows that we're leaving at 10 and we go to leave. 695 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:13.789 And I'm like, why aren't you ready? And he was like, well, 696 00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:15.660 what do you mean? And I said, we're leaving at 10. 697 00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:16.769 And he was like, well, you didn't tell me. And 698 00:31:16.809 --> 00:31:17.890 I'm like, Oh, yeah. 699 00:31:19.789 --> 00:31:21.109 I think me and Tom have a lot in common 700 00:31:21.130 --> 00:31:23.109 because Lou likes to do that as well. Not tell 701 00:31:23.150 --> 00:31:25.869 me what's happening and then tell me off. It's sort of, yeah, 702 00:31:26.269 --> 00:31:29.309 I think it must be, it's hard though, like when 703 00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:31.710 they're that small as well. And I think when you, 704 00:31:31.730 --> 00:31:34.009 like you say, your job is everything is like micromanaging 705 00:31:34.029 --> 00:31:36.470 controlled and then you sort of totally lose control of 706 00:31:36.490 --> 00:31:38.630 your body and stuff like that, where I imagine you 707 00:31:38.650 --> 00:31:40.210 want to sort of get back to fitness and things 708 00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:42.430 like that, but your body just won't let you yet. 709 00:31:42.750 --> 00:31:44.910 It must be hard to sort of, when your body's 710 00:31:44.930 --> 00:31:46.130 been your tool for so long. 711 00:31:46.430 --> 00:31:48.779 Yeah, when your mind's in, just sit in, have a 712 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:50.920 packet of crisps. You've got half an hour while the 713 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:55.440 baby's asleep, just watch telly, you know, relax. But yeah, 714 00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:58.539 I am, to be honest, this in my body is 715 00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:01.220 never been in this, it's not a state, but in 716 00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:05.180 terms of this type of shape before, obviously put on weight, 717 00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.430 stretchy skin, different marks. And I've learned to embrace it, 718 00:32:08.450 --> 00:32:10.130 to be honest. At first I was a bit frustrated 719 00:32:10.150 --> 00:32:11.269 and I was like, I want to get back to 720 00:32:11.289 --> 00:32:14.710 being fit and getting out running, but having a C-section, 721 00:32:14.890 --> 00:32:16.269 that's obviously taking a little bit longer. 722 00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:19.000 Oh my God, so you did, who wants to be 723 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.400 in there after a six, that's a, after a six. 724 00:32:22.509 --> 00:32:24.329 You just sit in a chair, don't you? Let's be honest. 725 00:32:25.009 --> 00:32:27.210 You need, I mean, that's a men's song. 726 00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:28.789 I'm not going to lie as well. I just enjoy, 727 00:32:28.809 --> 00:32:30.190 I quite wanted to go and just see what I 728 00:32:30.190 --> 00:32:31.829 looked like with a face full of makeup and hair 729 00:32:31.869 --> 00:32:33.250 professionally done. 730 00:32:33.470 --> 00:32:35.029 Locked down here, just get out of lockdown. 731 00:32:39.829 --> 00:32:43.170 When you were playing hockey and stuff, was there, people 732 00:32:43.230 --> 00:32:46.210 that went away and had babies and then came back 733 00:32:46.309 --> 00:32:49.589 and how difficult was it for them? Like, is it 734 00:32:49.609 --> 00:32:51.890 a tough thing to do or do most people wait 735 00:32:51.930 --> 00:32:54.339 until their kind of sporting career is over? Because I 736 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.559 know like Serena Williams went away and had a baby 737 00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:57.940 and came back and stuff. 738 00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.900 You know what? 739 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.519 I look at the likes of Serena, Jess Ennis. There's 740 00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:03.680 been a few of the Hockey Kiwi girls who have 741 00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:06.190 done that, some of the Aussies. And I remember in 742 00:33:06.230 --> 00:33:08.130 my career being like, actually, I think I could do that. 743 00:33:08.150 --> 00:33:10.029 I'd probably maybe have like a year and a half out, 744 00:33:10.069 --> 00:33:12.230 have a baby, get back training

and maybe make it 745 00:33:12.269 --> 00:33:16.390 back for an Olympics. But now I've gone through it. 746 00:33:16.890 --> 00:33:20.819 I am just like unbelievable. Like how they managed to 747 00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:23.539 do that in such a short turnaround because of what 748 00:33:23.579 --> 00:33:26.640 your body goes through. Because obviously pregnancy is tough in itself. 749 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:31.240 And then you've got the postpartum, which again is even 750 00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:36.019 tougher because physically you have either pushed out this through 751 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.369 the eye of a needle, which I can only presume, 752 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:40.309 or you've had like a C-section, which has basically been 753 00:33:40.329 --> 00:33:43.589 cut in half. But I think, I mean, I couldn't 754 00:33:43.609 --> 00:33:46.910 think of, I mean, if I had to and someone said, 755 00:33:47.329 --> 00:33:49.309 you have to do it, Sam, I'd obviously find a way, 756 00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:53.019 but I couldn't do it. I mean, I just, at 757 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.619 this moment, I just think that is a job and 758 00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.440 a half. Like I'm just looking forward to getting back 759 00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:59.619 on the road, going for a jog and back to 760 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:00.200 my club hockey. 761 00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:00.960 Yeah. 762 00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.940 Full respect to them. 763 00:34:02.710 --> 00:34:04.450 So do you still play hockey as a hobby then? 764 00:34:04.829 --> 00:34:06.670 Yeah, a bit of club hockey. A bit of club hockey. 765 00:34:06.809 --> 00:34:10.739 Are you much better than everyone else though? Is it 766 00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:14.460 like everyone's trying to two-foot you and tackle you and 767 00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.380 you're running rings random or is it a high level? 768 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.000 I don't know how to answer that without sounding like 769 00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:22.400 an absolute jobsworth. 770 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.719 You're the best one. You've got to be. I mean, 771 00:34:24.739 --> 00:34:29.389 how good's this fucking club if the Olympian is like mid-level? 772 00:34:30.309 --> 00:34:33.849 No, it depends. It depends because the problem is the 773 00:34:33.889 --> 00:34:36.489 GB team, obviously, you know, you went down to Bisham. 774 00:34:36.849 --> 00:34:38.750 They're all based down there full time. So when I 775 00:34:38.789 --> 00:34:40.449 was there, you have to play for a club within 776 00:34:40.510 --> 00:34:42.420 that area because you don't want to be travelling up 777 00:34:42.460 --> 00:34:45.440 to Manchester where you can't really, can you, to go training. 778 00:34:46.219 --> 00:34:49.820 So our club, Bowdoin, we don't have any GB players 779 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.699 or anything like that because it's too far away from 780 00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:53.480 the centre programme. 781 00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:55.929 So down south, there's a sort of a higher level 782 00:34:55.969 --> 00:34:58.780 because they need to be near the GB team. Exactly. 783 00:34:58.860 --> 00:35:02.579 So all the clubs, you've got East Grinstead, Surbiton, places 784 00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:07.300 like that, Wimbledon, are littered with international players. So last season, 785 00:35:07.469 --> 00:35:11.110 before COVID, Bowdoin got relegated because you don't stand a 786 00:35:11.130 --> 00:35:13.969 chance because they've got the starting line-up of the GB 787 00:35:14.030 --> 00:35:17.110 team and then they've got GB team, Team B on 788 00:35:17.269 --> 00:35:18.550 the other club team. 789 00:35:18.929 --> 00:35:22.179 Yeah. So you're like JJ Acotra at Bolton. 790 00:35:22.659 --> 00:35:25.260 JJ Acotra. 791 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.849 What a reference to go for as your first. thought 792 00:35:27.869 --> 00:35:30.280 you'd appreciate it I know Sam's a football fan um 793 00:35:30.449 --> 00:35:32.500 Sam do you think you're gonna how do you feel 794 00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:34.800 if your daughter was not interested in sport whatsoever would 795 00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:37.159 it be a relief because you've done that with your 796 00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:39.800 youth or would you be just disappointed. 797 00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:42.760 Um without sounding harsh and again she can do whatever 798 00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:44.599 she wants to do I'll back her I would be 799 00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:46.510 a little bit gutted if she didn't do sport just 800 00:35:46.530 --> 00:35:49.190 because it's done so much for me in terms of 801 00:35:49.210 --> 00:35:51.789 like my mates traveling the world and I think sports 802 00:35:51.829 --> 00:35:55.050 just good for anyone and everything both physically and mentally 803 00:35:55.090 --> 00:35:57.159 but I can't wait to just stand on the sideline 804 00:35:57.179 --> 00:36:00.380 and watch my daughter play some kind of sport. But 805 00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:02.639 I don't think I will be the type of parent 806 00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:06.280 who's up and down the sideline giving it beans, shouting this, 807 00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.380 shouting that. I'll probably take a step back and just 808 00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:10.239 take it all in. 809 00:36:10.969 --> 00:36:16.190 I don't think that's true, Sam. I think I know 810 00:36:16.230 --> 00:36:18.570 you well enough with the stuff we've done, but I 811 00:36:18.829 --> 00:36:20.969 think you might be that person. 812 00:36:21.750 --> 00:36:24.570 What is that? The one who's like up and down, 813 00:36:24.610 --> 00:36:25.159 shout for the record. 814 00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:28.440 The one who's really enthusiastic. Oh, sorry, I've got a 815 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.380 child that's broken in. Daddy's going to be two minutes, okay? 816 00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:36.500 I'm just doing some work. I'm talking to Sam Quek 817 00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:41.329 and Josh Whittaker. You go to mummy, and I'll give 818

00:36:41.349 --> 00:36:43.449 that to mummy, and then I'll be out in five minutes. 819 00:36:44.170 --> 00:36:44.969 Sorry about that, everyone. 820 00:36:44.989 --> 00:36:46.750 You're absolutely lying. 821 00:36:46.849 --> 00:36:49.869 Lou's going to have a disciplinary later, actually, because that 822 00:36:49.909 --> 00:36:52.210 is totally unacceptable. She knows I'm down here. We'll have 823 00:36:52.230 --> 00:36:54.400 a little chat about that at the family meeting. 824 00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:56.320 Daddy, why did you lock me outside? 825 00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:58.280 Yeah, just go on the slide on your own again 826 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:03.050 in a garden alone. Come on. No, I just say 827 00:37:03.070 --> 00:37:05.449 to them, I think you're very competitive. Even just the 828 00:37:05.469 --> 00:37:06.820 way you said, I'll back her. And I don't know 829 00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:08.539 if it's because it is your accent, but it sounded 830 00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:11.440 like you really would back her. But I think, and 831 00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:14.420 personally for me as well, I'll have to work hard 832 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.000 not to get too involved from the sidelines when they're older, 833 00:37:17.340 --> 00:37:18.840 just because I can't help it. I'm gobby. 834 00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:22.880 Are you that guy who's stood behind the coach? No, 835 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.400 I'm not that person. I'm not that person. 836 00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:28.440 You don't see yourself as a tactician, do you? No, 837 00:37:28.460 --> 00:37:30.840 I'm not. I'm a Sammy Lee. Do you know what 838 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:37.309 I mean? Oh, yeah. Not everything's Bolton related, Rob. No, 839 00:37:37.389 --> 00:37:37.750 I think. 840 00:37:37.889 --> 00:37:39.309 Tell me, Sam, have you got to go to the 841 00:37:39.329 --> 00:37:41.429 Reebok Stadium since you've had a baby or not? 842 00:37:41.489 --> 00:37:46.269 Because Rob really wants to know. Sorry, there's a lot 843 00:37:46.289 --> 00:37:49.269 of Bolton stuff. No, I just think I just get 844 00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:52.510 into stuff. I'm very enthusiastic. And if my daughter scored, 845 00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:55.219 I'd lose my mind with excitement. You know, it's hard 846 00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:56.440 not to, isn't it? But I don't think I'll be 847 00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:58.420 shouting what to do. I think Lou's a little bit, 848 00:37:58.460 --> 00:38:01.320 even a bit more like a, she's a bit more like, 849 00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.940 I think would be more protective on the sidelines and 850 00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:05.980 aggressive than I would be. 851 00:38:06.090 --> 00:38:08.809 What was your experience of playing sport as a child? 852 00:38:08.869 --> 00:38:11.010 What were your parents like on the sidelines? 853 00:38:11.610 --> 00:38:13.050 Well, I was going to say, I think maybe I'm 854 00:38:13.070 --> 00:38:14.730 saying that because my dad, I know he won't mind 855 00:38:14.869 --> 00:38:16.929 saying it because I put it in my book. He 856 00:38:16.989 --> 00:38:18.889 was the parent who used to go up the side 857 00:38:18.909 --> 00:38:21.159 of the sideline and shout at me, not in an 858 00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:24.420 aggressive way, but was constantly shouting at me. and my 859 00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:27.559 mum would follow him up the pitch and be like, shh, Albert, shh, 860 00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:30.239 stop you being, you're about in too much. And I 861 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:32.579 remember looking up throughout the hockey game, and my dad 862 00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:34.760 would start on one sideline, and my mum, and they'd 863 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.159 slowly both keep just doing laps of the pitch. 864 00:38:38.340 --> 00:38:38.860 Oh, God. 865 00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.780 Dad would walk away, and my mum would catch him up, 866 00:38:40.780 --> 00:38:42.659 but dad would walk away and catch him up. But 867 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:46.480 I played lacrosse once over in Liverpool, and I remember 868 00:38:46.500 --> 00:38:49.619 being so exhausted. I just ran, ran, ran, and I 869 00:38:49.659 --> 00:38:51.920 collapsed down to the floor. Obviously still conscious, but my 870 00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:54.460 legs were just knackered. And my dad was like, Sam, 871 00:38:55.059 --> 00:38:57.179 get up. You're embarrassing yourself. 872 00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.860 Get up. 873 00:39:00.809 --> 00:39:03.429 And my mum was like, Albert, Samantha, are you okay? 874 00:39:03.449 --> 00:39:05.349 And I was absolutely fine. But I think that's where 875 00:39:05.409 --> 00:39:07.309 I get my kind of like, don't roll over and die. 876 00:39:07.329 --> 00:39:09.670 You've still got more in the tank type of attitude. 877 00:39:09.710 --> 00:39:10.550 Yeah. 878 00:39:10.809 --> 00:39:13.110 And I remember as well, my brother used to play 879 00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:15.900 in golf or it was a team called We're All Chinese. 880 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:20.719 Yeah. We're all Chinese. We're all or we're all Chinese? 881 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:21.800 We're all to the plate. 882 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:29.650 We're all. We're all. What's the team name that is? 883 00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:35.079 We're all Chinese. We're all Chinese. What's your team name? 884 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.090 We're all Chinese. That's all I've got. Sorry. We're all Chinese. Okay. 885 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:40.469 I prefer that one, actually. 886 00:39:42.889 --> 00:39:48.820 So your brother played for We're All Chinese? Yeah. Were 887 00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:49.659 they all Chinese? 888 00:39:51.019 --> 00:39:53.539 They all were, apart from one, but obviously we're half, 889 00:39:53.579 --> 00:39:56.320 so we still count. But anyone was welcome, even though 890 00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:56.820 it was called. 891 00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:59.179 So you were called, we're all Chinese, and you essentially, 892 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:01.880 the team were

nearly all Chinese as well. Yeah. And 893 00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:03.989 that's the first time anyone's mentioned that. 894 00:40:04.170 --> 00:40:07.210 We're all Chinese. The strapline should have been, we're all Chinese. 895 00:40:08.309 --> 00:40:11.130 Apart from one. We're all Chinese. Who was the one? 896 00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:13.789 I think it was like the centre mid guy, the 897 00:40:13.809 --> 00:40:14.289 tall one. 898 00:40:14.329 --> 00:40:23.860 The tall one. Surely the goalie. Surely the goalie. 899 00:40:25.019 --> 00:40:28.139 No, my brother was the goalie. But anyway, he was 900 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.079 playing in goal. And my dad was literally stood next 901 00:40:31.099 --> 00:40:33.860 to the goalpost and just giving it every time the ball. 902 00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:34.840 Michael, run out. 903 00:40:34.969 --> 00:40:37.530 Michael, dive left. And in the end, me and my brother, 904 00:40:37.670 --> 00:40:40.230 only my twin brother. Sorry, it was my older brother 905 00:40:40.250 --> 00:40:41.809 who was in goal. Me and my twin brother, Sean, 906 00:40:41.849 --> 00:40:43.730 used to just go and watch purely just to go 907 00:40:43.769 --> 00:40:44.570 and watch my dad. 908 00:40:45.809 --> 00:40:46.130 Really? 909 00:40:46.269 --> 00:40:49.039 And next to my older brother, just giving him directions. 910 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:51.030 But yeah, it was good. Good quality. 911 00:40:51.050 --> 00:40:54.460 So was your dad into hockey? Because your whole family's playing. 912 00:40:55.739 --> 00:40:56.900 How did you all get into hockey? 913 00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.500 I got into hockey through school. And I was playing 914 00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.539 football at the time. So I was more football. I 915 00:41:02.579 --> 00:41:05.320 was always football. Played for Tramier girls. Played in the 916 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:08.269 boys' teams when I was younger. But I had to 917 00:41:08.309 --> 00:41:10.690 choose between hockey and football when I was 17. And 918 00:41:10.710 --> 00:41:11.349 I chose hockey. 919 00:41:12.909 --> 00:41:17.349 Would you take your daughter being an Olympic gold medalist 920 00:41:17.389 --> 00:41:18.550 in hockey, but she's. 921 00:41:18.389 --> 00:41:20.519 An Everton fan? Oh, my. 922 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:23.519 That's not going to happen, though. She's already got a 923 00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:29.519 little toolkit. I mean, you say that, my sisters in Everton. 924 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:30.780 That wasn't the question. 925 00:41:31.440 --> 00:41:33.679 So it wouldn't be too dissimilar to how some of 926 00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:35.469 the things are at the moment. But, yeah, I would. 927 00:41:35.739 --> 00:41:37.010 I would. You'd take the gold? 928 00:41:37.489 --> 00:41:41.010 I'd let her have a gold medal. Yeah. You could 929 00:41:41.030 --> 00:41:42.929 have some success, haven't you? I mean, if you're an 930 00:41:42.949 --> 00:41:43.570 Everton fan. 931 00:41:44.769 --> 00:41:47.389

At least she can enjoy her personal success. 932 00:41:47.409 --> 00:41:50.519 Yeah, yeah. And so how's it been having the baby 933 00:41:50.539 --> 00:41:53.019 in lockdown, though? Was Tom allowed to be there at 934 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:55.719 the birth or the scans or the rules? Because two 935 00:41:55.780 --> 00:41:59.010 months ago, it's got better now. This is April we're 936 00:41:59.050 --> 00:42:00.889 recording this. But, you know, at the start of the year, 937 00:42:00.909 --> 00:42:03.070 it was pretty bleak, wasn't it, in hospitals and stuff 938 00:42:03.110 --> 00:42:05.250 like that. So how was that? Was that stressful? 939 00:42:05.550 --> 00:42:08.510 Yeah, the first 12-week scan, he wasn't allowed in. So 940 00:42:08.670 --> 00:42:13.489 I booked a private scan five days before so we 941 00:42:13.530 --> 00:42:15.769 could both be there together at the same time, you know, to, like, 942 00:42:15.789 --> 00:42:18.230 see a heartbeat and whatnot. And obviously, I had a 943 00:42:18.250 --> 00:42:19.510 miscarriage in the January. 944 00:42:20.070 --> 00:42:22.130 Oh, I didn't know that. I'm sorry. 945 00:42:22.230 --> 00:42:24.829 So I would just think, God forbid, touch wood, if 946 00:42:25.130 --> 00:42:27.320 it was bad news. I can't imagine some people going 947 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.159 in and experiencing that on their own. So I just 948 00:42:30.179 --> 00:42:32.219 feel for so many people who had to go through 949 00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:34.019 it on their own if it was that type of news. 950 00:42:34.579 --> 00:42:36.699 But yeah, in the hospital, I had to go on 951 00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:39.409 my own for the 12-week scan. And then by 20 weeks, 952 00:42:39.630 --> 00:42:41.469 he was allowed to come in if he had a 953 00:42:41.590 --> 00:42:43.909 negative COVID test within 24 hours. 954 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:46.579 Oh, OK, cool. So there was a way for him 955 00:42:46.619 --> 00:42:48.519 to come in and stuff. But yeah, that's all that. 956 00:42:48.539 --> 00:42:51.070 You just don't need it. And especially with like when 957 00:42:51.090 --> 00:42:52.769 you've got the baby, you want everyone to come around 958 00:42:52.829 --> 00:42:54.889 and see it and say hello and stuff. It's horrible, 959 00:42:54.949 --> 00:42:57.230 isn't it? Having to, you know, not be able to 960 00:42:57.309 --> 00:42:59.309 see all your friends and family. Yeah, it was rubbish. 961 00:42:59.349 --> 00:43:02.050 And especially at the hospital. So Tom was allowed in. 962 00:43:02.130 --> 00:43:03.949 But once you're in, that's it. You're not allowed to 963 00:43:03.989 --> 00:43:08.119 go back out. And then you just feel harsh on 964 00:43:08.139 --> 00:43:10.239 your parents or your brothers and sisters, you know, who 965 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:11.119 aren't able to see them. 966 00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.639 Albert's out there screaming from the street, going, come on, 967 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:15.860 you've got another push in you. 968 00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:17.679 Keep going, Sam. 969 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:23.110 Come on. With the full Wirral Chinese squad shouting, come on, Sam. 970 00:43:23.530 --> 00:43:27.130 Call that a cesarean. That is not a cesarean. 971 00:43:27.170 --> 00:43:28.880 With the centre mid guy, the only one who can 972 00:43:28.909 --> 00:43:29.679 see through the window. 973 00:43:29.699 --> 00:43:34.460 He's doing all right, guys. She's doing fine. She's fine 974 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:39.219 up there. Are they still going, we're all Chinese? I 975 00:43:39.260 --> 00:43:41.059 can't move on from we're all Chinese. 976 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.139 Ask your next question while I Google we're all Chinese. 977 00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.659 No, no, I'm setting. 978 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:48.829 One back up. So if you've got, I was going 979 00:43:48.849 --> 00:43:50.889 to ask you this though, right, because I found it 980 00:43:51.110 --> 00:43:53.550 quite stressful when loads of people come into the house. 981 00:43:53.570 --> 00:43:55.110 Sorry, Rob, I'm going to have to interrupt to say 982 00:43:55.150 --> 00:43:57.210 the first thing when you Google the words we're all 983 00:43:57.250 --> 00:44:00.489 Chinese hockey is Sam Quek's Wikipedia page. 984 00:44:00.530 --> 00:44:04.159 Is it actually? Is it? She's not lying, it's true. 985 00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:04.940 Do you like it? 986 00:44:05.969 --> 00:44:09.250 Um, no, I was like, I found it quite stressful when, um, 987 00:44:09.670 --> 00:44:11.329 we had loads of people coming and going to the 988 00:44:11.349 --> 00:44:13.389 baby and stuff because, you know, you get into a schedule, 989 00:44:13.409 --> 00:44:15.110 you're all chilled and then people come, you can make 990 00:44:15.190 --> 00:44:17.179 tea and stuff like that. Do you feel like you 991 00:44:17.219 --> 00:44:18.940 missed out or was it actually quite nice to have 992 00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.500 a bit of calm in the house? Obviously you had 993 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.420 your support bubbles, I imagine, and stuff like, or did you, 994 00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:24.289 did you really miss it? 995 00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:27.579 Um, I, to be honest, the first week, I think 996 00:44:28.500 --> 00:44:32.219 it was probably a blessing in disguise. Um, because I 997 00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:34.530 didn't get out of my house coat, didn't do my hair. 998 00:44:35.530 --> 00:44:37.070 You don't really brush your teeth. 999 00:44:37.250 --> 00:44:39.090 Housecoat's dressing gown, isn't it, for Southerners? 1000 00:44:39.659 --> 00:44:41.000 Oh, sorry. Yes, housecoat. 1001 00:44:41.099 --> 00:44:42.860 Yeah, no, just a bit. I only found out last 1002 00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:47.260 week that housecoat, in Liverpool, a dressing gown's a housecoat. Yeah. 1003 00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:47.980 Did you know that, Josh? 1004 00:44:48.019 --> 00:44:48.079 No. 1005 00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:51.219 No, I didn't know that. It's very poncy in it,

1006 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:52.039 dressing gown. 1007 00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:52.739 What did I say? 1008 00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:56.190 Housecoat. Housecoat. Yeah, but the housecoat sounds insane, doesn't it? 1009 00:44:56.429 --> 00:44:56.909 Housecoat. 1010 00:44:56.929 --> 00:44:58.510 So you call it a housecoat? Yeah. 1011 00:44:58.849 --> 00:45:00.690 And also, do you call lunch dinner or dinner? 1012 00:45:02.090 --> 00:45:02.590 Lunch, dinner. 1013 00:45:02.829 --> 00:45:03.590 Yeah, so we call. 1014 00:45:03.630 --> 00:45:07.489 Well, I don't know which one's dinner. I call the middle. 1015 00:45:07.530 --> 00:45:10.280 He's still on supper. No, I'm not still on supper. 1016 00:45:10.300 --> 00:45:17.739 How dare you? How dare! Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Dinner, yeah. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. 1017 00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:20.059 Yeah, but why are dinner ladies called dinner ladies when 1018 00:45:20.099 --> 00:45:20.559 it's at lunch? 1019 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:22.619 So you have breakfast, dinner, tea? 1020 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:23.059 Yeah. 1021 00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:25.619 I mean, I get your point, actually. When do you 1022 00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:26.780 wear a dinner jacket and where? 1023 00:45:27.460 --> 00:45:29.400 To an evening do. 1024 00:45:31.409 --> 00:45:35.369 Yeah. And then what do you eat on your lunch break? 1025 00:45:35.610 --> 00:45:37.710 You're having dinner or are you having lunch on lunch break? 1026 00:45:37.750 --> 00:45:39.750 To be fair, I do flip in between. 1027 00:45:40.269 --> 00:45:43.510 Let's not get bogged down in a North-South divide. The 1028 00:45:43.530 --> 00:45:45.489 first week was a blessing. No one came around. That's 1029 00:45:45.510 --> 00:45:47.469 where we were at before we got bogged down in 1030 00:45:47.510 --> 00:45:49.010 house coats. 1031 00:45:49.030 --> 00:45:52.300 Yeah, blessing in disguise. Purely because, like you say, the 1032 00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:54.480 days blur into the nights and you're trying to just 1033 00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:57.289 have a good reading and doing whatever. And then it's 1034 00:45:57.329 --> 00:45:59.369 kind of like if I had visitors, I would have 1035 00:45:59.389 --> 00:46:01.469 felt like obliged to put my eyebrows on, get out 1036 00:46:01.510 --> 00:46:03.389 of my house coat, you know, make a cup of 1037 00:46:03.409 --> 00:46:05.670 tea and stuff like that. Like I say, it was 1038 00:46:05.690 --> 00:46:07.030 actually quite nice. And then it was just me and 1039 00:46:07.070 --> 00:46:08.949 Tom kind of knuckling down, trying to figure everything out. 1040 00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.320 But we did have parents around. 1041 00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:14.559 Yeah, because you're allowed like if you've got a child 1042 00:46:14.619 --> 00:46:16.719 under one, you're allowed to be part of a support bubble, 1043 00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:17.980 aren't you? That's really good. 1044 00:46:18.260 --> 00:46:20.019 Tom's mum's in our bubble anyway, because she lives on 1045 00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:23.039 her own. So actually it worked out all right. So 1046 00:46:23.300 --> 00:46:25.940 my mum and dad were. the support bubble but Tom's 1047 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:27.159 mum was already in our bubble. 1048 00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:29.980 I think that like the worst is when you have 1049 00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:33.679 people that come round for too long in the in 1050 00:46:33.699 --> 00:46:36.719 the first few weeks of the baby because it's fine 1051 00:46:36.739 --> 00:46:38.440 when they're there but the moment they go and you've 1052 00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:40.159 missed out on your chance to have a nap or 1053 00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:42.199 you've missed out on your chance to kind of relax 1054 00:46:42.739 --> 00:46:44.550 and then you head into the night tired I. 1055 00:46:44.510 --> 00:46:47.469 Just think it's so tough the worst is they've been 1056 00:46:47.510 --> 00:46:49.889 round for an hour and then you go oh trying 1057 00:46:49.909 --> 00:46:50.829 to get rid of them I'm just going to go 1058 00:46:50.849 --> 00:46:52.889 and put the baby down for a nap and they're 1059 00:46:52.909 --> 00:46:55.090 still there while you're doing that and then you come 1060 00:46:55.110 --> 00:46:56.489 down and have a nap and they go oh another 1061 00:46:56.530 --> 00:46:58.849 cup of tea and i'm like don't you fucking waste 1062 00:46:58.889 --> 00:47:02.550 my nap time i'm either sleeping or watching the telly 1063 00:47:02.670 --> 00:47:04.250 or having a bath don't i don't want to talk 1064 00:47:04.269 --> 00:47:07.789 to you about shit the internet's better in your conversation that's. 1065 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:09.679 A good bit of advice so the advice there moral 1066 00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:11.119 of the story is when you go to put the 1067 00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:13.239 baby to bed don't come back down. 1068 00:47:13.219 --> 00:47:15.500 Don't come back down yes no i've got another one 1069 00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:20.000 right and it's called fuck coffee cups right fuck coffee 1070 00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.309 cups and they're tight not they're It's a little cup 1071 00:47:22.329 --> 00:47:24.010 they do in Ikea, but they're bigger than like an 1072 00:47:24.030 --> 00:47:28.179 espresso cup. So it's not weirdly small, but they're the smallest, 1073 00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:31.420 the smallest cup or mug you can find before someone 1074 00:47:31.500 --> 00:47:33.820 gets inquisitive. And you do a cup of tea in there, 1075 00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:37.480 but quite low level. And they'll drink, don't boil the 1076 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.739 kettle fully. So it's a bit cooler. And they will 1077 00:47:39.780 --> 00:47:42.230 have that tea drunk in about five minutes. Do you 1078 00:47:42.250 --> 00:47:45.210 know what you could do, Rob? How you could market these? Yeah. 1079 00:47:45.250 --> 00:47:47.400 You know, in the bottom of the cup, you could 1080 00:47:47.420 --> 00:47:51.550 have the words

fuck off written. So when they finish 1081 00:47:51.590 --> 00:47:53.920 their tea... They get the message straight away. 1082 00:47:53.940 --> 00:47:56.800 Should we do some Fuck Coffee Cup merch? Yeah, I 1083 00:47:56.820 --> 00:47:58.949 think we should. And this is for new mums and 1084 00:47:58.969 --> 00:48:01.170 dads that you make it to someone and you want 1085 00:48:01.190 --> 00:48:03.469 them to leave so you can have a rest. Would 1086 00:48:03.489 --> 00:48:05.710 that be something you'd be interested in buying, Sam? Would 1087 00:48:05.750 --> 00:48:07.010 that have helped? 1088 00:48:07.010 --> 00:48:09.130 100%. And some sort of sign on the door. 1089 00:48:09.429 --> 00:48:11.750 Yeah, on the door. Not welcome. 1090 00:48:11.769 --> 00:48:13.489 Yeah, just some sort of thing that you can slide 1091 00:48:13.530 --> 00:48:15.699 from left to right depending on where you're at, where 1092 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:17.239 the baby's at, and if you're in the mood. 1093 00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:19.929 That's a good idea. That's a good idea. Yeah. Yes, 1094 00:48:20.070 --> 00:48:21.880 that is a good idea, isn't it? Just like, come 1095 00:48:21.900 --> 00:48:25.000 back later, not today. Yes, please, I'm going mental. And 1096 00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:29.840 Tom keeps microwaving milk. I mean, that's quite niche. That 1097 00:48:29.860 --> 00:48:31.739 would be more specific bespoke for you, Sam. 1098 00:48:32.139 --> 00:48:34.019 I think so. Although we haven't got a doorbell, which 1099 00:48:34.059 --> 00:48:37.130 has been quite a nice little treat. 1100 00:48:37.650 --> 00:48:40.750 Well, I still remember. Now it doesn't matter how important 1101 00:48:40.769 --> 00:48:43.070 it was when you ordered a takeaway to put in 1102 00:48:43.110 --> 00:48:46.590 the instructions, not quietly, we've got a baby sleeping. That's 1103 00:48:46.630 --> 00:48:49.849 still on my Deliveroo thing. Did you ever do that, Josh? 1104 00:48:50.070 --> 00:48:50.409 Yeah. 1105 00:48:50.570 --> 00:48:52.929 No, I used to watch the person come and then 1106 00:48:53.469 --> 00:48:55.780 I'd be stood on the... Sorry, that was a very 1107 00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:56.500 strange phrase. 1108 00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:00.079 It's a weird delivery, what you ordered. 1109 00:49:01.420 --> 00:49:04.380 My order was that good that the moment they smell it, 1110 00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:09.869 the order... Oh, my God, this has gone disastrously. I'd 1111 00:49:09.909 --> 00:49:11.690 say the last 30 seconds have been the worst of 1112 00:49:11.710 --> 00:49:22.000 my career. So you say they were called We're All Chinese, Sam. Anyway, 1113 00:49:22.380 --> 00:49:26.360 so I would watch the Deliveroo stroke Uber Eats or 1114 00:49:26.380 --> 00:49:29.599 whatever app so that I could see where they were 1115 00:49:29.699 --> 00:49:30.719 so I'd always meet. 1116 00:49:30.579 --> 00:49:31.400 Them on the doorstep. 1117 00:49:31.739 --> 00:49:32.440 Oh, that's a good plan. 1118 00:49:32.460 --> 00:49:34.239 But I do that anyway. I did that before having 1119 00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:34.719 a baby. 1120 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:35.380 Did you? 1121 00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:39.139 Just because I was so excited waiting for it to arrive. 1122 00:49:40.309 --> 00:49:44.230 I have once watched the little image of a motorbike 1123 00:49:44.389 --> 00:49:47.440 go all around my local area, thinking, why has he 1124 00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:50.260 done a left there? What kind of stupid sat-nav has 1125 00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:50.719 he got? 1126 00:49:51.420 --> 00:49:56.719 I watched a guy go very slowly up a one-way 1127 00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:57.769 road the. 1128 00:49:57.610 --> 00:50:00.690 Wrong way on the map. And he was going so slowly. 1129 00:50:01.570 --> 00:50:04.230 And then he got it, and I just realised he 1130 00:50:04.250 --> 00:50:05.070 was pushing his bike. 1131 00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:07.519 He'd obviously got off his bike and he was walking 1132 00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:10.199 the whole way so that he could go against the traffic. 1133 00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:12.460 That's commitment. 1134 00:50:12.699 --> 00:50:16.320 That's commitment. That is commitment to a call. Sam, we've 1135 00:50:16.340 --> 00:50:18.340 got one last question before we go. It's been brilliant. 1136 00:50:18.380 --> 00:50:20.679 Thank you so much, especially how new your baby is. 1137 00:50:20.739 --> 00:50:23.039 Is it a nap at the moment or is. 1138 00:50:22.949 --> 00:50:23.610 The baby awake? 1139 00:50:24.469 --> 00:50:26.570 I don't know. I did send her up with a 1140 00:50:26.610 --> 00:50:28.809 bottle to Tom. So I think it was mid-nap. 1141 00:50:28.829 --> 00:50:31.690 You don't want to have stolen your beautiful nap time. 1142 00:50:32.230 --> 00:50:34.050 We'll wrap it up with one last question. This question 1143 00:50:34.070 --> 00:50:36.110 we like to ask all our guests is if there's 1144 00:50:36.210 --> 00:50:38.780 one thing that their partner does parenting wise, it really 1145 00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:41.519 annoys you, but you haven't brought it up because it 1146 00:50:41.539 --> 00:50:44.159 would just start an argument and it's wrangling. And if 1147 00:50:44.179 --> 00:50:45.960 they listened back to this, they would go, yeah, that 1148 00:50:46.019 --> 00:50:48.199 is a fair point. I'll stop doing that. Is there 1149 00:50:48.219 --> 00:50:51.920 anything that's annoying you at the moment, Sam, that Tom's 1150 00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:52.460 doing maybe? 1151 00:50:52.750 --> 00:50:56.849 How long you got? No, bless him. 1152 00:50:57.010 --> 00:51:00.150 It's not microwave-based. It can't be microwave-based. It can't be 1153 00:51:00.170 --> 00:51:01.780 microwave milk. It can't be that. Is there anything, or 1154 00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:03.000 is it all, at the moment, is it all a 1155 00:51:03.019 --> 00:51:05.400 pretty sort of steady ship? It is. 1156 00:51:05.739 --> 00:51:07.440 I'm really lucky to say it is a pretty

steady ship. 1157 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:11.920 There's one thing, which isn't like massively bugging me, but. 1158 00:51:12.380 --> 00:51:13.719 For someone who said it was a steady ship, you've 1159 00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:16.170 got into one very quickly, Sam, which I'm very in 1160 00:51:16.210 --> 00:51:16.619 favour of. 1161 00:51:16.630 --> 00:51:18.389 I mean, I love a bit of Call of Duty. 1162 00:51:18.510 --> 00:51:20.250 I got into it during the first lockdown. 1163 00:51:20.269 --> 00:51:21.130 Oh, it's great, isn't it? 1164 00:51:21.150 --> 00:51:21.469 Love it. 1165 00:51:21.849 --> 00:51:21.969 Yep. 1166 00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.980 Especially resurgent trios love a bit of that anyway Tom 1167 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.110 when he goes on it with the boys and obviously 1168 00:51:28.130 --> 00:51:30.650 because they've got the headsets on he's next door on 1169 00:51:30.690 --> 00:51:34.130 the TV they don't realise how loud they are and 1170 00:51:34.150 --> 00:51:36.329 when you're just getting a baby to sleep and they're 1171 00:51:36.349 --> 00:51:38.409 getting all excited they're getting in the final circle and 1172 00:51:38.429 --> 00:51:40.789 there's a guy on the roof oh my goodness the 1173 00:51:40.849 --> 00:51:44.679 volume level just goes from like normal talk to excited 1174 00:51:44.739 --> 00:51:47.219 to like full on I'm in a club I need 1175 00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:50.349 to shout over the loud music type of level So, 1176 00:51:50.530 --> 00:51:52.300 darling Tom, if you're listening to this. 1177 00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:57.059 Honestly, though, I got told off for that. Right, so 1178 00:51:57.239 --> 00:51:58.940 I was playing it once and I left the window 1179 00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:00.909 open because it was a hot summer's evening. I put 1180 00:52:00.929 --> 00:52:03.110 my headphones on and I was screaming. Lou ran upstairs 1181 00:52:03.130 --> 00:52:05.550 and said, what is going on? You are making all 1182 00:52:05.570 --> 00:52:09.369 the dogs in the street bark. Because you're like, it's 1183 00:52:09.409 --> 00:52:11.150 on the roof, it's like a brick, fuck it. And 1184 00:52:11.210 --> 00:52:13.550 it's really emotional. But also, it's not very good for 1185 00:52:13.570 --> 00:52:15.949 a sleeping baby to hear, there's someone on the roof, 1186 00:52:16.289 --> 00:52:20.820 shoot them. Quick, where's your gas mask? Fucking hell. And 1187 00:52:20.860 --> 00:52:23.639 it is brutal swearing, isn't it, Sam? It is, it is. Sam, 1188 00:52:23.659 --> 00:52:25.280 this has been amazing. Thank you so much. It's been 1189 00:52:25.320 --> 00:52:27.159 an absolute pleasure. Thanks so much, Sam. 1190 00:52:27.699 --> 00:52:28.699 Thanks, guys. 1191 00:52:30.739 --> 00:52:31.619 Rob? Yeah? 1192 00:52:31.940 --> 00:52:36.260 We're All Chinese might be the most I've laughed. 1193 00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:41.139 Yeah. It's when Sam was going, yeah, they mostly were 1194 00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:45.280 all Chinese. The Wirral. The thing is because Wirral, I've 1195 00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:47.960 only ever heard it be called The Wirral. Yeah. Really? 1196 00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:50.880 It's never called Wirral. And I forgot that Wirral sounds 1197 00:52:50.940 --> 00:52:54.119 like Wirral. Yeah, it just got a bit too much. 1198 00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.800 And I feel like if Sam wasn't there, that could 1199 00:52:56.820 --> 00:52:59.260 have been a potential cancellation for us two. But I 1200 00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:02.550 feel like she led the Chinese. We were just there 1201 00:53:02.590 --> 00:53:03.150 to enjoy it. 1202 00:53:03.829 --> 00:53:05.170 I don't think we should bring it up in other 1203 00:53:05.230 --> 00:53:06.590 episodes where it's just me and you. 1204 00:53:06.610 --> 00:53:09.329 Yeah, I think we should probably leave it alone. Yes, yes. 1205 00:53:09.389 --> 00:53:11.369 That was funny, though. It made me laugh. And what 1206 00:53:11.449 --> 00:53:15.670 a fucking machine. C-section, then Jeremy Clarkson. Unbelievable. 1207 00:53:15.929 --> 00:53:19.250 What is that? I didn't want to say this to Sam, 1208 00:53:19.289 --> 00:53:22.070 but she could have easily got booked on it a 1209 00:53:22.110 --> 00:53:23.090 couple of months down the line. 1210 00:53:23.139 --> 00:53:25.760 It's not going anywhere. Do you know what, though? I 1211 00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:28.369 think that's a sort of like... She's so... I've met 1212 00:53:28.409 --> 00:53:30.969 Sam Lowe this time and she's so sort of focused 1213 00:53:31.090 --> 00:53:33.929 and dedicated. And if she's agreed to do something, she's like, yeah, 1214 00:53:33.949 --> 00:53:35.380 I'm doing it. And I'm not going to let that 1215 00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.139 stop me. That sort of, it's that classic sports star 1216 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:41.110 mentality where you have to, whatever you said you're going 1217 00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:42.849 to do, you're going to do and you don't care. 1218 00:53:43.210 --> 00:53:45.389 about the circumstances. And I think that's what makes people, 1219 00:53:45.610 --> 00:53:47.590 you know, a club hockey player and then an Olympic 1220 00:53:47.630 --> 00:53:50.269 level hockey player. They have that dedication. You know what 1221 00:53:50.289 --> 00:53:52.050 I mean? Because I've met a number of sports people 1222 00:53:52.090 --> 00:53:54.429 that just, it's like the stuff they do, that dedication 1223 00:53:54.489 --> 00:53:57.389 is insane. And then even after retirement, they still have 1224 00:53:57.429 --> 00:53:59.989 that part of their personality, you know? Yeah. 1225 00:54:00.110 --> 00:54:02.949 They are a different breed sports people, aren't they? Just 1226 00:54:03.010 --> 00:54:04.699 when you go on, when you go on League of 1227 00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:07.440 Their Own and you do anything with a sports person, 1228 00:54:08.179 --> 00:54:10.920 they're so competitive. Or you have a sports person on 1229 00:54:10.940 --> 00:54:13.400 a

panel show. And they actually care if they win. 1230 00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:15.420 I know, it's meant, I did it once where I 1231 00:54:15.460 --> 00:54:16.920 fell off a netting on a league of their own 1232 00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:18.780 and Jamie read and I went, oh, come on, Becky, 1233 00:54:18.820 --> 00:54:21.550 get on with it. In the morning, it'll get in 1234 00:54:21.570 --> 00:54:23.610 your head all about this. And I went, Jamie, I've 1235 00:54:23.630 --> 00:54:29.510 already forgotten. I couldn't give a fuck about being beaten 1236 00:54:29.550 --> 00:54:33.889 by Helen Skelton on jump rope. Call me a pussy. 1237 00:54:33.949 --> 00:54:36.409 I don't care. 1238 00:54:36.829 --> 00:54:39.329 What are we thinking about in the morning, Jamie? The 1239 00:54:39.349 --> 00:54:41.909 joke I did about Joe Hart that didn't go to anything. 1240 00:54:41.989 --> 00:54:45.480 That's what I'll be thinking about. exactly but they're just 1241 00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:48.239 built athletes are built different you just can't so for 1242 00:54:48.300 --> 00:54:49.980 her i think that's just i'm okay i can do 1243 00:54:50.019 --> 00:54:51.800 this and it's you know i've said i'm gonna do 1244 00:54:51.820 --> 00:54:53.449 it but yeah good on her but yeah she's brilliant 1245 00:54:53.469 --> 00:54:56.070 sam i love she's so um she's so confident and 1246 00:54:56.130 --> 00:54:58.530 so like focus it's uh you can see that and 1247 00:54:58.849 --> 00:55:01.230 considering like you know and tom parry and sam quack 1248 00:55:01.309 --> 00:55:03.389 i know i've mentioned it in the episode they couldn't 1249 00:55:03.409 --> 00:55:05.250 be more different as people really could they i mean 1250 00:55:05.269 --> 00:55:07.489 like this and and you can sort of see it 1251 00:55:07.530 --> 00:55:10.360 in the parenting to a point of just like Sam 1252 00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:12.090 would be like, well, how can we make this more efficient? 1253 00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:13.530 Why don't we do this? And let's do it that. 1254 00:55:13.570 --> 00:55:15.590 And Tom would go, I've got to be Firmus. I've 1255 00:55:15.610 --> 00:55:18.210 got to be Orange. Let's bang on the dog father 1256 00:55:18.230 --> 00:55:22.349 like that. But whatever works, works. Do you know what 1257 00:55:22.369 --> 00:55:24.789 I mean? And Tom Parry couldn't have, I don't think 1258 00:55:25.090 --> 00:55:27.050 Sam would have enjoyed that schedule. I don't think Tom 1259 00:55:27.070 --> 00:55:30.480 Parry would enjoy Sam's schedule. So it's, that's what's so interesting. 1260 00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:37.699 I dispute that. I think Tom would enjoy Sam's schedule. Yeah. Oh, 1261 00:55:37.710 --> 00:55:39.389 we've got to get Tom back on, actually. That's a 1262 00:55:39.409 --> 00:55:40.690 good one to get back on. Put him on the list. 1263 00:55:40.969 --> 00:55:43.840 Rob, I've got to go to Bloody Nursery and pick 1264 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:44.480 up my daughter. 1265 00:55:44.619 --> 00:55:46.260 Okay, go and get her, mate, and I'll speak to 1266 00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:48.960 you on Tuesday.
