Hello, I'm Josh Widdicombe and this is Rob Beckett.
2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:05.519
Hello!
3
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.679
And let's be honest, we are struggling with parenting during lockdown.
4
00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.519
And we thought the only way to get away from
5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.260
our children is to start a podcast about how we're
6
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:17.719
struggling to deal with being with them.
7
00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:19.199
This is that podcast.
8
00:00:19.260 --> 00:00:23.780
This is Lockdown Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe.
9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.100
We're going to be interviewing some of our friends, famous
10
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:30.250
comedians and people from the public eye about their lockdown parenting.
11
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:33.100
And hopefully they make me feel better because mine have
12
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.549
gone feral and we need help.
13
00:00:34.850 --> 00:00:37.329
I'm kicking myself. It's taken me four weeks to come
14
00:00:37.369 --> 00:00:37.850
up with this.
15
00:00:38.109 --> 00:00:40.469
I think the reason it's taken four weeks is the
16
00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:44.729
first two weeks were, you know, horribly stressful and anxious times.
17
00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:47.609
But being able to be at home and have nothing
18
00:00:47.649 --> 00:00:49.710
to do is quite liberating for a workaholic.
19
00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:54.429
Yes, it is. And it's been liberating for you as well. Yeah.
20
00:00:55.570 --> 00:00:56.969
You only do Friday nights, don't you?
21
00:00:57.170 --> 00:01:01.090
LAUGHTER You've got two children. I've got a child.
22
00:01:01.189 --> 00:01:05.030
I've realised I'm on various WhatsApp groups with my friends
23
00:01:05.069 --> 00:01:07.829
that have got children. And that's become a real kind
24
00:01:07.909 --> 00:01:10.370
of pressure valve for me to let off a bit.
25
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:12.280
Of steam after a day of parenting.
26
00:01:12.390 --> 00:01:12.640
Yes.
27
00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:16.400
And I thought this podcast could act as that for us.
28
00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:19.900
Well, I don't really let off steam. I actively hunt
29
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.120
down and search for someone who's had a worse day
30
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.810
than me. And then I go, I ring them and
31
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:27.750
I let them tell me how bad their day's been
32
00:01:27.790 --> 00:01:31.219
and I laugh. So this is a podcast version of
33
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.219
that for us to find some other people that may
34
00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:36.500
have had a worse day of parenting than us that
35
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.060
will make us feel better. And then hopefully the listeners
36
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.400
will get the same feeling as us.
37
00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:41.359
That's it for now.
38
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:43.840
