S02 EP40: Three words... Rob Beckett's mum...

WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.899 --> 00:00:04.120
Hello, I'm Josh Whitacombe.
2
00:00:04.179 --> 00:00:04.980
And I'm Rob Beckett.
3
00:00:05.219 --> 00:00:08.929
Welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell. The show in which Rob
4
00:00:08.990 --> 00:00:10.769
and I discuss what it's like to be a parent
5
00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:14.050
during lockdown, which I would say can be a little tricky.
6
00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:20.789
Yeah!
7
00:00:20.989 --> 00:00:25.019
Yeah! So, in an effort to make some kind of
8
00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:26.760
sense of the current situation... And to.
9
00:00:26.699 --> 00:00:30.140
Make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills.
10
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.020
Each episode we'll be chatting to a famous parent about
11
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:34.140
how well they're coping.
12
00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:35.299
Or hopefully not.
13
00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:37.829
And we will be hearing from you, the listener, with
14
00:00:37.850 --> 00:00:40.070
your tales of lockdown parenting woe.
15
00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:48.020
Because, let's be honest, none of us know what we're doing. Hello,
16
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.460
you are listening to Lockdown Parenting Hell with.
17
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.579
Rob Beckett. Very good.
18
00:00:54.700 --> 00:01:02.219
And can you say Josh Widdicombe? Where's Josh gone? Josh Widdicombe.
19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.500
Josh is at the door. Josh is at the door. Okay,
20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:07.200
well done, Harry.
21
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:09.549
I wasn't at the door, just to clear up any
22
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:10.250
confusion there.
23
00:01:10.269 --> 00:01:11.629
That was very cute.
24
00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.790
This is my son Harry's attempt at an introduction. For
25
00:01:14.829 --> 00:01:16.890
some reason, when I said Josh Widdicombe, he thought Josh
26
00:01:16.909 --> 00:01:21.909
was at the door. His 12-week-old brother, Maxwell, who was delivered...
27
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:24.780
By my husband on our utility floor.
28
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.310
Oh, God, you've got to rename that floor now, haven't you?
29
00:01:27.329 --> 00:01:32.769
The birthing unit. Where's the clean pants? In the birthing unit.
30
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:36.530
Oh, my God. Rob, chances that you could have delivered
31
00:01:36.569 --> 00:01:37.349
your second child?
32
00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:39.530
Slim to none.
33
00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:44.599
I mean, the thought of that, the panic.
34
00:01:44.939 --> 00:01:49.239
Lou already hates me. The thought of her.
35
00:01:50.269 --> 00:01:53.670
screaming at me, and she's putting it on me being annoying, going,
36
00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:55.590
go on, put a bit of welly into it, will you?
37
00:01:55.730 --> 00:01:58.269
Rose gets annoyed with me, you know, if I can't
38
00:01:58.349 --> 00:02:03.900
find my wallet. But if I was struggling to estimate
39
00:02:04.060 --> 00:02:07.480
how far she dilated, she'd be absolutely livid.
40
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.020
Yeah, you don't want the tape measure out there, do you? No.
41
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:11.180
Oh, my word.
42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.039
Okay, Lou, I think you're ready. I'm going to go
43
00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:16.409
for a sweep now. No, you're fucking not.
44
00:02:16.449 --> 00:02:20.449
Okay, I'm not. That's what's happening. Josh, how you been?
45
00:02:20.509 --> 00:02:24.129
You seem chipper. Have you had sleep? I'd say chipper
46
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.599
is a relative concept. Chipperer than last week.
47
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.099
Well, yeah, because we did Last Leg together, which we
48
00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:33.050
should reference and apologise for.
49
00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:33.719
Should we start with that?
50
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.659
Well, yeah, no stiff neck or loose... Because you were
51
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.120
tired on Last Leg, but it seems like you've had
52
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.030
sleep since then. But we didn't do any stiff neck
53
00:02:40.069 --> 00:02:41.289
or loose neck stuff.
54
00:02:41.229 --> 00:02:44.650
Or promote the book. We were both very tired, Rob.
55
00:02:44.689 --> 00:02:46.189
Do you know what it was? I was full of
56
00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:49.169
beans and I was cocky, but... I've done gig sites
57
00:02:49.189 --> 00:02:51.509
since I've come back. And because now I'm on my
58
00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:53.830
early shifts with the kids and I've not done my
59
00:02:53.949 --> 00:02:56.810
evening job for months and months, two years, nearly two years.
60
00:02:57.349 --> 00:02:59.189
I just cannot perform at 10 PM.
61
00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:00.750
No, it's insane.
62
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.300
It's so hard to be energetic when you're tight, when
63
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.599
you've been up since five and then wait all day
64
00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:10.099
to try and have a laugh between 10 and 11.
65
00:03:10.099 --> 00:03:14.960
It's, it's too late. And get this Rob, get this. Oh, uh, obviously, uh,
66
00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:19.110
I understand the situation, but Channel 4, not this Friday,
67
00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:20.349
the following Friday, Rob.
68
00:03:20.810 --> 00:03:21.030
Yeah.
69
00:03:21.169 --> 00:03:23.069
England v Scotland, you're aware of that, obviously.
70
00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:23.949
Yes, of course.
71
00:03:24.110 --> 00:03:29.319
We have been moved to 11pm live. I feel like
72
00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:31.639
I'm a fucking overnight DJ on LBC.
73
00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:37.340
Right, guys, what do you think about cyclists? Mick Lamborghini here. Yeah,
74
00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:37.719
what are they?
75
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:38.460
Hogs?
76
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:39.560
Hog to the road, yeah?
77
00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:40.520
Two wheels?
78
00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.240
More like bloody no brain cells. More like, get your
79
00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:45.060
calls coming in now. It's Josh Winnicott.
80
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.099
You're good at that.
81
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.990
Oh, mate, I tell you what, I could earn a
82
00:03:49.169 --> 00:03:51.729
fortune as a prick on talk radio.
83
00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:56.370
Well, you're the first stand-up comedian that's made that journey
84
00:03:56.389 --> 00:03:57.310
in the last six months.
85
00:03:57.330 --> 00:03:57.400
Yes.
86
00:03:58.129 --> 00:04:01.349
You know, sometimes people are short of work. I'll be
87
00:04:01.370 --> 00:04:03.050
a helmet for a bit. It's our new job now,
88
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:03.330
isn't it?
89
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:03.469
Yeah.
90
00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:05.210
Being a dickhead on the radio or on Twitter.
91
00:04:05.229 --> 00:04:07.629
I'm going to say lots of things I don't believe
92
00:04:07.650 --> 00:04:09.340
in an attempt to feed my children. And to be
93
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.740
honest with you, Rob, you know, we've all got to
94
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.199
feed our children. Lies.
95
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.040
Feed them bloody lies unless you listen to me. I've
96
00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.339
got the truth here. I want to uncover the truth.
97
00:04:20.870 --> 00:04:23.490
I'm like Tony Robinson with a dusty bit of mud.
98
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:28.139
If anyone was at home having a wager on who'd
99
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.759
do the time team reference, I don't think they'd have
100
00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:30.500
chosen you, Rob.
101
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.579
Oh, God, I'm so stiff now. It's outrageous. Basically, what
102
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.019
happened was, it goes, also, it's on so late.
103
00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:38.139
Not so late, but it's late for two dads with
104
00:04:38.189 --> 00:04:38.639
young kids.
105
00:04:39.329 --> 00:04:41.889
But it goes so quick. As a guest, you're barely
106
00:04:41.949 --> 00:04:42.970
on it. I know.
107
00:04:42.990 --> 00:04:45.009
And also, I was very aware that I didn't want
108
00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:47.009
to talk over everyone like I normally do.
109
00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:49.670
So I was trying to be polite. and let Sarah
110
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:50.629
Pascoe say something.
111
00:04:50.769 --> 00:04:52.790
I thought you did a sterling job, but neither of
112
00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:55.779
us said the word stiff neck or loose neck. I
113
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.819
do apologise. I'll try and say it this week. But
114
00:04:58.339 --> 00:04:58.959
I was tired.
115
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.759
Also, do you know what's weird, though? It's because I
116
00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:02.730
think when I'm doing that, I feel like I'm performing.
117
00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:04.990
I'm being the Rob that goes on the telly. But
118
00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:07.769
when I'm doing this, it is literally like no holds barred.
119
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.579
And you're so, like, you know, careers are saved in
120
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.439
the edit by Michael of stuff we.
121
00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:13.600
Say that we have to bleep on.
122
00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:16.540
But when you're live on Channel 4, you just remember, oh,
123
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.180
my God, this could end everything.
124
00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:19.920
Totally.
125
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.069
And it doesn't take a lot anymore, does it?
126
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:22.259
No.
127
00:05:22.550 --> 00:05:25.170
To say something. Well, Rob, do you want to.
128
00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:27.310
Know why I was a bit stressed in the build-up
129
00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:28.069
to that episode?
130
00:05:28.430 --> 00:05:29.149
Why was you stressed?
131
00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:32.689
Well, Rob, earlier in the week, I'd got a text
132
00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:36.029
from Inka, who does wardrobe, and she said, is there
133
00:05:36.050 --> 00:05:39.329
any clothes you need this week? or should we just
134
00:05:39.370 --> 00:05:41.850
work it out as we go through the series? And
135
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:45.949
I said, I need some trainers, mate. And the reason is,
136
00:05:46.470 --> 00:05:52.269
three words, Rob Beckett's mum. Oh, really? Yeah.
137
00:05:52.829 --> 00:05:54.310
You were stressed because you didn't want to have dirty
138
00:05:54.350 --> 00:05:54.850
trainers on?
139
00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:57.910
I was stressed because I thought, Rob's on, I cannot
140
00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:01.189
be seen to have dirty trainers if Rob's on because
141
00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:03.230
his mum already sees me as the kind of person
142
00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:04.509
who has dirty trainers on TV.
143
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.689
Well, if she didn't mention it, then you must have
144
00:06:06.709 --> 00:06:07.399
had nice ones on.
145
00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:09.850
Well, Rob, I get that. The new trainers, they're like,
146
00:06:10.009 --> 00:06:11.389
they're two, but they're like canoes.
147
00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:13.529
They're huge. Yeah, but you're not doing a lot of walking,
148
00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:15.329
are you? You sat down for an hour.
149
00:06:15.629 --> 00:06:17.629
No, I know. But Rob, it's a show about feet.
150
00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:19.060
It's a show about feet.
151
00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:22.759
So I was wearing slightly, I was wearing my slightly
152
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.480
dirty trainers, my slightly old dirty trainers. And I thought,
153
00:06:26.269 --> 00:06:28.310
And Inca said, well, no one notices on TV. And
154
00:06:28.329 --> 00:06:30.610
I was like, they fucking do, mate. Rob Beckett's mum's
155
00:06:30.649 --> 00:06:31.569
all over it like a rash.
156
00:06:31.589 --> 00:06:33.439
Do you know the mad thing is, she has got
157
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.300
the worst eyes.
158
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.259
She's had about eight detached retinas, glaucoma, cataracts, about 10
159
00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:40.639
operations on them. I was actually in a hospital with
160
00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:42.639
her once where she was told that she may lose
161
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:43.839
her eye, okay, until she.
162
00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:44.579
Had an operation.
163
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.110
And I sat across the waiting room and in front
164
00:06:47.129 --> 00:06:49.009
of people, she went to me, you've got some mayonnaise
165
00:06:49.050 --> 00:06:51.529
in your chin. I'm like, how fucking bad are these eyes?
166
00:06:51.550 --> 00:06:54.029
Because you are like a hawk, woman.
167
00:06:54.470 --> 00:06:55.329
She's all over it.
168
00:06:55.430 --> 00:06:57.509
Nothing gets past a mum when something's dirty or you've
169
00:06:57.529 --> 00:06:59.389
got food on your face. But yeah, she's got a
170
00:06:59.410 --> 00:07:01.120
bit of a hawk eye for your shoes, but she
171
00:07:01.129 --> 00:07:02.519
didn't mention them, so they must have been all right.
172
00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:05.060
So I was worried about that. That wasn't my toughest
173
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.019
professional engagement of the week, Rob.
174
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.319
No, what else have you been up to?
175
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.740
Earlier in the week i was very tired rob so
176
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.480
uh during the week i was on a uh three
177
00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.300
hour three hour per night.
178
00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:18.500
Strategy three hours per night yeah yeah.
179
00:07:18.540 --> 00:07:21.420
Which was really hammered home on the tuesday night when
180
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:23.779
i had to record a panel show and the record
181
00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:26.079
was four hours and i thought the record is longer
182
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.949
than the amount of sleep i'm gonna get tonight how
183
00:07:29.990 --> 00:07:32.370
am i spending more time with claire balding than i
184
00:07:32.490 --> 00:07:34.069
am asleep how is.
185
00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.529
That She's a firecracker, that's why. I love Claire Balding,
186
00:07:37.569 --> 00:07:40.160
don't get me wrong, but we all love Claire Balding.
187
00:07:40.699 --> 00:07:41.480
Of course we do.
188
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.639
But you'd rather go to sleep than have a bit
189
00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:45.699
of banter with Rod.
190
00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:46.500
Gilbert and Claire Balding.
191
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.399
Exactly, exactly.
192
00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:52.290
That sounds more harsh, but in context. Yeah, but in context.
193
00:07:52.310 --> 00:07:55.610
No one says, are you all right? No, I haven't
194
00:07:55.629 --> 00:07:58.069
had enough banter with Rod Gilbert and Claire Balding last night.
195
00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:01.980
No one said, how's life with a new baby? I'm
196
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.519
not getting enough time with Rod Gilbert and Claire Paulding.
197
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:06.490
That's not how life works.
198
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.000
Oh God.
199
00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:12.220
Most people obviously do work like an eight hour, 10
200
00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:12.740
hour shift.
201
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:13.000
Yeah.
202
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.180
And so four hours on panel show, but you, that,
203
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.040
you know, the whole day of getting there and you've
204
00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:17.759
got to prepare stuff.
205
00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:18.620
It's over eight hours.
206
00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:21.500
It's over a long day, but it's quite an intense period.
207
00:08:21.750 --> 00:08:23.829
It's I'd say, but when I worked in office doing
208
00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:25.290
a panel show, it's sort of like, you know, when
209
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:27.009
you have to do a pitch meeting to someone, say
210
00:08:27.029 --> 00:08:28.610
you've got like in a sales job and you have
211
00:08:28.629 --> 00:08:30.769
to go and do your pitch and you do your presentation.
212
00:08:31.089 --> 00:08:34.629
It's like that for ages. And then they're constantly having
213
00:08:34.649 --> 00:08:36.450
to laugh. And if they don't, you feel like shit.
214
00:08:36.549 --> 00:08:39.970
Yeah. Totally, totally. And you only remember the bad bit.
215
00:08:40.029 --> 00:08:41.600
In four hours, there's going to be bad bits.
216
00:08:41.929 --> 00:08:44.779
But to do that and present, basically, and sell your
217
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.539
soul and yourself for four hours and knowing that you
218
00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:50.960
only had three hours, because you know the maths don't work.
219
00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:53.179
The maths don't work. Even if I'm at my best,
220
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.230
I've not got enough in the tank.
221
00:08:55.470 --> 00:08:57.710
The petrol light would have been flashing as the show
222
00:08:57.730 --> 00:08:59.929
started in your head, going, you're running out of gas,
223
00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:00.710
you're running out of gas.
224
00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:03.210
Yeah, they said to me at the start, Rod was,
225
00:09:03.470 --> 00:09:05.250
I'm sure he doesn't mind me saying this, he had
226
00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:07.720
a whiskey, right, as his drink. And they said, do
227
00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:09.539
you want an alcoholic drink? I was like, are you
228
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.230
fucking kidding me? Imagine what I'd be.
229
00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:16.409
Like an hour three if I had a whiskey now.
230
00:09:16.429 --> 00:09:18.169
Do you know what? Also as well, it.
231
00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:22.889
Must be impossible for women when you've had a kid,
232
00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:25.889
especially if you've like breastfeeding and like, you know, because
233
00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:27.769
the baby's got to be sort of near you or
234
00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:29.850
in the dressing room because you're breastfeeding. But even if
235
00:09:29.889 --> 00:09:32.309
you've like expressed there's some bottles at home and they've
236
00:09:32.330 --> 00:09:35.759
been left with your family or your partner or whatever, knowing.
237
00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:38.059
In a four-hour call do you go my boobs.
238
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.559
Are gonna have to be you know they're just filling
239
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.830
my breasts are filling with milk because when lou was
240
00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:45.730
breastfeeding one of ours we went to a football match
241
00:09:45.929 --> 00:09:47.990
she had to express in the toilet of the emirates
242
00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:51.480
oh my god still game because they were getting too
243
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:53.269
full and i think they get painful i don't know
244
00:09:53.269 --> 00:09:54.429
i don't know i've never had my.
245
00:09:54.490 --> 00:09:56.870
Teeth full of milk before that is how it works.
246
00:09:56.690 --> 00:09:58.620
I think yeah i think it gets quite painful anyway
247
00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:02.240
place to express imagine need imagine how much worse it
248
00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:04.460
would have been josh if you needed to express.
249
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.379
Milk oh my god i can only imagine you could
250
00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:09.059
only imagine so that wasn't actually the trickiest day the
251
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:10.840
next day i woke up i had three hours sleep
252
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.340
yeah And I think it was a last leg writing day.
253
00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.860
So I had to do a Zoom in the day.
254
00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:17.960
So it didn't have, I mean, writing's a strong word.
255
00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:18.700
I had to.
256
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.019
You write that?
257
00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:22.769
What? Not this week, mate. I'll tell you what I
258
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.730
had to do this week. I had to sit in
259
00:10:24.789 --> 00:10:27.230
on the Zoom thinking, I am taking none of this in.
260
00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:30.769
But it's episode one. So it'd be really bad for
261
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:32.830
me not to show up for the first ever Zoom.
262
00:10:33.450 --> 00:10:35.830
The first ever Zoom. Imagine that, the first ever Zoom.
263
00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:39.570
Like Gary Zoom went, look, mate, it's a bit weird,
264
00:10:39.669 --> 00:10:41.129
but I'm going to ring you on your computer with
265
00:10:41.169 --> 00:10:41.620
my face.
266
00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:42.100
What?
267
00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:48.759
So then I didn't have a nap in the day.
268
00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:51.019
I had to go to Bristol to do a gig.
269
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.820
You saw the picture of me in Pratamonjay and how
270
00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:54.679
tired I looked.
271
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.750
We're basically double glazing salespeople.
272
00:10:57.139 --> 00:11:01.149
Yeah, exactly. You watch that episode of The Office, you know,
273
00:11:01.169 --> 00:11:04.840
when he becomes the travelling salesman and you go, Oh,
274
00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:06.669
he's got a bleak existence now. And then you go,
275
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:07.740
wait a minute, that's my life.
276
00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:08.620
Yeah.
277
00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:12.200
So then I thought I'd get the tube to Paddington
278
00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:14.799
because it's quicker. I don't want to have to sit
279
00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:17.370
in a car. There's lots of traffic. Don't get me
280
00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:19.370
started on the current traffic on the Hackney Road.
281
00:11:19.409 --> 00:11:22.389
Okay. Are we doing your full travel itinerary from East
282
00:11:22.409 --> 00:11:22.950
London to Bristol?
283
00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:24.669
No, but I just need to tell you this. Okay.
284
00:11:25.149 --> 00:11:27.769
So I was going mile end, change at Oxford Circus
285
00:11:28.190 --> 00:11:31.990
to Paddington. Get on a mile end. I'm reading and
286
00:11:32.029 --> 00:11:34.279
listening to music. Reading?
287
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:35.799
Reading and listening to music.
288
00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:39.090
Yeah, listening to music on my headphones and then reading
289
00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:41.309
a magazine about football.
290
00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:42.309
At the same time?
291
00:11:42.750 --> 00:11:43.590
At the same time.
292
00:11:43.769 --> 00:11:44.929
You're not doing either?
293
00:11:45.809 --> 00:11:48.330
Well, obviously I'm not doing either, Rob. I can't concentrate
294
00:11:48.350 --> 00:11:48.929
on anything.
295
00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:50.289
Why are you doing both?
296
00:11:50.830 --> 00:11:51.629
I always do both.
297
00:11:51.649 --> 00:11:54.970
So you listen to music. Okay, what was you listening to?
298
00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:57.250
I'm listening to music currently. No, what was I listening to?
299
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.279
I don't know. I've got no idea what I'm listening to.
300
00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:01.720
Okay, you're listening to a song. We can guess. It's
301
00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:04.070
probably some sort of. 90s indie band.
302
00:12:04.330 --> 00:12:05.690
Do you want to be honest with you, Rob? I've
303
00:12:05.710 --> 00:12:07.440
been listening to a lot of Kano recently.
304
00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:15.470
Have you? Hello? What's your favourite Kano song?
305
00:12:17.690 --> 00:12:20.169
I'd say T-Shirt Weather in the Manor, my friend.
306
00:12:20.190 --> 00:12:25.580
No! So you've got Kano on and what you're reading?
307
00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:29.509
A preview of the Euros, a magazine pullout about the Euros.
308
00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:32.250
I'm trying to read about the other teams and stuff.
309
00:12:32.309 --> 00:12:34.889
Yeah, so to work out, okay, because you're doing that, right? Yeah,
310
00:12:35.049 --> 00:12:35.629
on the Paddington.
311
00:12:35.990 --> 00:12:38.210
Yeah, so I get on at mile end and then
312
00:12:38.250 --> 00:12:41.570
I get off and I'm walking up the tunnel. Yeah.
313
00:12:41.669 --> 00:12:44.409
And then I go, wait a minute, I've got no
314
00:12:44.509 --> 00:12:48.220
memory of getting off and I've got no idea what
315
00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:51.919
station I'm at. And then I look and I'm at
316
00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:54.230
Tottenham Court Road and I'm about to get out of
317
00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:56.450
Tottenham Court Road and I'm like, I've got no idea
318
00:12:56.490 --> 00:12:59.389
what's just happened. I've just got off the train and
319
00:13:00.429 --> 00:13:05.980
started walking in my own head, almost out to land,
320
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.220
out onto, into the street.
321
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:09.679
Sea level.
322
00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:13.490
But yeah, into sea levels. And I have no memory
323
00:13:13.509 --> 00:13:15.250
of doing it or what happened.
324
00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:18.090
Did you used to get off that station a lot
325
00:13:18.110 --> 00:13:19.320
for gigs? No, I never get.
326
00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:22.299
Off Donham Court Road, really. You know, any more than
327
00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:24.000
anyone else does. Do you know what I mean? Like,
328
00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:29.059
it's not. Like, I just, something happened. Like, I have
329
00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:30.960
no memory of it. You know when you're driving and
330
00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.840
you don't remember the last bit? That's like that.
331
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.220
Yeah. And then you just had to go back down.
332
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.250
It was such a surreal experience where I was like,
333
00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:42.340
Maybe I was enjoying the grime too much, but, you know.
334
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.980
I've done that before when I've moved house and I've
335
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.639
finished work and out of just routine walked back to
336
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:50.279
my old house.
337
00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.759
Have you ever done that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
338
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.250
I did it three times in a week. Oh, wow.
339
00:13:55.490 --> 00:13:57.509
How far away is your house? Well, no, it was
340
00:13:57.549 --> 00:13:59.909
basically like a 10-minute walk, but like the opposite direction.
341
00:13:59.929 --> 00:14:01.330
But I just kept on going back the old way.
342
00:14:01.649 --> 00:14:03.909
And on the third time, I just stood there and
343
00:14:03.929 --> 00:14:05.889
was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
344
00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:09.490
It happens once. You're a bit like, oh, blimey, what
345
00:14:09.509 --> 00:14:13.549
am I like? Three times. Do you know what I mean?
346
00:14:13.610 --> 00:14:16.129
It's like I might need to get a scan or something.
347
00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:22.559
So then I get to Bristol eventually.
348
00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.379
Yeah, good gig.
349
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.100
I get to Bristol. Gig was, yeah, I mean, it
350
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.799
was fine. You're just.
351
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.090
This isn't about parenting anymore. It's about Joshua Dickham's survival.
352
00:14:31.570 --> 00:14:36.080
Yeah, and then luckily... They told me that I'd come
353
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.409
off stage too late to get the train back. So
354
00:14:39.649 --> 00:14:42.299
they organised a car to drive me back.
355
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:43.710
Did you sleep in it?
356
00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:44.519
Well, Rob.
357
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.259
Oh, no.
358
00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:47.679
Can you imagine the issue I'd have with sleeping in
359
00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:52.299
the car, Rob? It's not good for my neck. No.
360
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.500
Yeah, but it's good for your sleep.
361
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.779
It's good for my... I had to do a trade-off.
362
00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:58.500
And I had an hour's sleep and I had a
363
00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:01.019
stiff neck for the next two days, Rob. It's been
364
00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:01.840
a tough week, Rob.
365
00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:05.860
Josh, the people are giving you loads of stick on
366
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.279
Instagram for saying I'm not going to lie.
367
00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:09.039
Have I said it already again?
368
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.259
I'm going to say it, Rob. They're your catchphrases.
369
00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:14.240
I've got to stop saying those. I know, I know,
370
00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:18.100
I know. This isn't the time to do a wholesale
371
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.240
change of my vocabulary.
372
00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:21.580
All right, okay. Well, you're aware of those and you're
373
00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.200
working on them.
374
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.820
I wasn't aware of the second one.
375
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:25.970
I'm not going to lie. I'm going to say it.
376
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:28.110
I'm going to say it. Right, yeah. Okay.
377
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:28.299
Okay.
378
00:15:29.539 --> 00:15:31.460
But if there's anything I do, let me know, and
379
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.519
then I'll try and work on that as well, so
380
00:15:32.539 --> 00:15:34.440
it's not just a pure Josh bash.
381
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:40.299
Every time I say one of those phrases, I'll give £ 1. 50
382
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:38.710
to charity.
383
00:15:39.090 --> 00:15:41.149
Mate, I think you'll be down for about 80 quid.
384
00:15:41.649 --> 00:15:42.570
To be honest with you, Rob.
385
00:15:42.690 --> 00:15:43.750
Yeah.
386
00:15:43.769 --> 00:15:45.029
To be honest with you, one of them, I can't
387
00:15:45.090 --> 00:15:45.789
even remember anymore.
388
00:15:46.649 --> 00:15:48.269
I'm going to say it, Rob. I'm happy to give
389
00:15:48.289 --> 00:15:49.690
that money to charity. I'm not going to lie.
390
00:15:53.690 --> 00:15:54.269
Fuck me.
391
00:15:54.610 --> 00:15:56.330
Mate, I'm going to talk to you because I think
392
00:15:56.350 --> 00:15:57.950
you should hear this because I was getting a bit
393
00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:59.610
cocky about the kids and stuff.
394
00:15:59.850 --> 00:16:00.909
Yeah, talk to me about it.
395
00:16:00.929 --> 00:16:03.840
Because I've been getting sleep and they're three and five now.
396
00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:06.419
They're getting to the point that when they have stuff, right,
397
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.240
and there's crumbs, we've got a little handheld hoover thing.
398
00:16:09.779 --> 00:16:11.460
They go and get it and hoover up their own crumbs.
399
00:16:12.220 --> 00:16:12.879
Oh, my God.
400
00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:15.139
Which was a huge moment for the family.
401
00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:16.159
Yeah, huge.
402
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.299
To the point where me and Louie in one room
403
00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:20.480
and then in the other room we heard the hoover
404
00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:22.570
going and she was doing the whole front room.
405
00:16:23.230 --> 00:16:24.070
Oh, my God.
406
00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:26.789
And I was like, this is outrageous. This is getting
407
00:16:26.830 --> 00:16:30.929
beyond the joke now. This is absolutely insane. However, in
408
00:16:30.970 --> 00:16:33.450
half term, they've been doing swimming lessons every day.
409
00:16:33.470 --> 00:16:34.190
Yeah.
410
00:16:34.350 --> 00:16:34.750
In the morning.
411
00:16:34.769 --> 00:16:35.669
Every day.
412
00:16:35.690 --> 00:16:37.990
Yeah, so they do half an hour every morning. I mean,
413
00:16:38.029 --> 00:16:41.169
going together, because it's an absolute logistical nightmare.
414
00:16:41.370 --> 00:16:42.610
Getting two girls ready for swimming.
415
00:16:42.789 --> 00:16:43.590
Yeah, because you take them.
416
00:16:43.549 --> 00:16:47.769
Into the changing rooms, and they're constantly shouting, bit, bits, wee, wee, poo, poo,
417
00:16:48.129 --> 00:16:49.929
the whole time. And also, the problem with a men's
418
00:16:49.970 --> 00:16:51.549
changing room is there's just dicks everywhere.
419
00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:53.470
Yeah, there is a lot of dicks.
420
00:16:53.750 --> 00:16:55.309
And even when there's kids in there, they're still like,
421
00:16:55.370 --> 00:16:57.110
I feel like, just put a towel on. You don't
422
00:16:57.129 --> 00:16:58.570
have to walk to the shower naked.
423
00:16:59.149 --> 00:17:02.090
No. In fact, it's not that you don't have to.
424
00:17:02.450 --> 00:17:05.150
You actively have chosen to. Do you know what I mean?
425
00:17:05.430 --> 00:17:07.990
And also, some of the dicks are so little.
426
00:17:08.009 --> 00:17:10.130
Do you know what I mean? If someone was a
427
00:17:10.130 --> 00:17:11.789
big knob, you'd be like, right, fair enough, mate.
428
00:17:11.809 --> 00:17:12.930
We've all seen it. Well done.
429
00:17:12.970 --> 00:17:15.289
Congratulations. Give him a handshake. Slap his ass off. He goes,
430
00:17:15.589 --> 00:17:20.039
but you see these little nuggets, little nubbins. Yeah, it's pathetic, mate.
431
00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.359
I'd be ashamed. I wouldn't even leave my own house.
432
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.410
Never mind get it out. So I'm trying to shield
433
00:17:26.430 --> 00:17:30.029
their eyes from all these little dicks, right, everywhere. And anyway,
434
00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:30.950
so we go in and get changed.
435
00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:33.410
And they're like, they give me absolute shade because I
436
00:17:33.430 --> 00:17:34.809
got there a little bit early because I wasn't sure
437
00:17:34.829 --> 00:17:36.210
what I was doing. And then one of them went
438
00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:38.970
to me, when we come swimming with mummy, we're actually
439
00:17:39.029 --> 00:17:42.029
on time. And I was like, you little bitch, right?
440
00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:44.779
So what happens is there's one at 10am and one
441
00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:47.420
at 10.30. So I go in at 10am into the
442
00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:50.089
changing room and get one in the costume and then
443
00:17:50.109 --> 00:17:52.089
walk them to the side of the pool, holding up
444
00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:54.289
one who's fully dressed hand. And then you sort of
445
00:17:54.329 --> 00:17:55.910
drop them off and then you have to leave them
446
00:17:55.930 --> 00:17:57.349
in the pool and then go and wait in a cafe.
447
00:17:57.769 --> 00:17:59.369
And then you're in the cafe, but then.
448
00:17:59.289 --> 00:17:59.829
I have to.
449
00:18:00.730 --> 00:18:02.109
How's that bit in the cafe, Rob?
450
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:03.170
I took an iPad. Oh.
451
00:18:03.579 --> 00:18:03.960
It's lovely.
452
00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:05.460
I just sat there for 20... But the problem is,
453
00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:07.680
I was nearly... But then... Can you see the pool
454
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.500
from the cafe? No, you can't, right? But then I
455
00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:12.079
got carried away. And because I didn't judge it right,
456
00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.529
because I always need a wee in getting changed. I
457
00:18:13.569 --> 00:18:15.430
was at the swimming pool and I was nearly late
458
00:18:15.589 --> 00:18:17.490
to pick up the first one and drop off the
459
00:18:17.529 --> 00:18:19.589
second one. Because then I had to take... Because by
460
00:18:19.609 --> 00:18:21.089
the time you get out, it's like five, 10 past.
461
00:18:21.109 --> 00:18:22.910
You have to go back in at about 20, 25
462
00:18:22.910 --> 00:18:24.670
past to get the other one ready. and then walk
463
00:18:24.710 --> 00:18:26.299
them in. And we've only got one pair of goggles.
464
00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:27.299
We had to swap the goggles.
465
00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:29.259
And then we had to, so I have to drop
466
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.380
that one off and then get the other one and
467
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.589
get that, the first one cleaned and out of the,
468
00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:36.029
you know, the swimming costume and into normal clothes. And
469
00:18:36.049 --> 00:18:37.210
then you go and sit in the cafe again for
470
00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:39.619
another like eight minutes. And then you're back in again.
471
00:18:40.450 --> 00:18:42.279
to pick up the second one, and the first one
472
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:43.579
is dressed, and now you've got to get the second
473
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.839
one clean and dry, but the other one is.
474
00:18:44.779 --> 00:18:46.680
Just running around. It's mental.
475
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:52.220
I was just stuck in this swimming vortex of wet clothes,
476
00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:54.119
wet hair, stuff everywhere.
477
00:18:54.140 --> 00:18:55.099
I was dropping stuff.
478
00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:57.599
In that time as well, I have to constantly take
479
00:18:57.619 --> 00:19:00.539
my mask on and off because it's off in the
480
00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:02.200
cafe at the table, but then you have to wear
481
00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:04.259
it into the changing room, and then on and off.
482
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.460
It was carnage.
483
00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:07.619
I can't believe I was nearly late. It's that just
484
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:10.859
endless towel, swimsuit, cafe, towel, swimsuit, cafe.
485
00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:12.259
I want a snack. I want a drink.
486
00:19:12.859 --> 00:19:14.700
I couldn't deal with it. I thought it could be
487
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.900
like quite a relaxing thing to do with them.
488
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.319
I mean, there's only two.
489
00:19:18.619 --> 00:19:21.059
In my head, taking your kids swimming is meant to
490
00:19:21.099 --> 00:19:24.039
be one of the joys, isn't it? And that sounds awful.
491
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:24.769
Yeah.
492
00:19:24.789 --> 00:19:26.109
But it's only two of them. Imagine if you had
493
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.650
like four.
494
00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:29.309
The woman who runs the cafe went, oh, yeah, you're
495
00:19:29.329 --> 00:19:31.150
all right. I've got nine kids. And I went, well,
496
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:34.130
you've got a problem. I mean, that's not how you
497
00:19:34.170 --> 00:19:35.730
see it. You don't go, oh, God, it's an easy few.
498
00:19:35.740 --> 00:19:36.599
Just stop having kids.
499
00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:39.180
Nine's men's. How can you get nine ready for swimming?
500
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.220
That is unbelievable.
501
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:42.900
Do you imagine nine pairs of shoes? And they're going
502
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:43.859
to have more than one pair.
503
00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:47.329
Yeah. Rob, I can't imagine going over two, to be
504
00:19:47.369 --> 00:19:48.569
honest with you. Well, yeah, I know.
505
00:19:48.609 --> 00:19:49.970
I think two's enough kids.
506
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.880
Unless you know the content dries up and you know
507
00:19:51.900 --> 00:19:53.890
me and lou will have a chat Yeah, that's good.
508
00:19:53.970 --> 00:19:56.140
That's good. So did you do it again? It was
509
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:57.240
every morning you were doing that?
510
00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:59.460
Every morning that was. And then in the end, Lou
511
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.160
tried to do it on her own and she'd come back.
512
00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:05.579
But we both kept coming back, like really like distressed
513
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:07.960
because it was a constant, you had to think.
514
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:08.279
All the time.
515
00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:10.400
And also they're a bit funny about being left in there.
516
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.029
Like they wasn't sure. So you have to go, yeah,
517
00:20:12.049 --> 00:20:12.680
I'll see you in a bit.
518
00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.150
It's okay.
519
00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:14.809
And then they're... clinging onto you and stuff so you
520
00:20:14.829 --> 00:20:15.769
don't want to be late you don't want to drop
521
00:20:15.789 --> 00:20:18.529
stuff but in the end we went together and then
522
00:20:18.609 --> 00:20:19.869
one of us stayed in the cafe one and the
523
00:20:19.890 --> 00:20:21.150
other one did the other one but it was like
524
00:20:21.170 --> 00:20:21.470
it was.
525
00:20:21.410 --> 00:20:23.049
So hard and I was like why is this so
526
00:20:23.069 --> 00:20:24.710
hard it should be easy.
527
00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:28.279
Oh Rob that is just brutal but they're better at
528
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:29.980
swimming now so that's the main thing.
529
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.559
How was half term generally do you know what it
530
00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:34.299
was really good to be fair like they had loads
531
00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:36.880
of things planned we went and saw friends and went
532
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.839
to the park and they went to the little farm.
533
00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:41.119
And all that so it was good because they're.
534
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.500
Older they can keep themselves sort of entertained They went
535
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.500
shopping and they got a bit of.
536
00:20:45.509 --> 00:20:47.670
Lego and stuff like that. So that was good. But
537
00:20:48.269 --> 00:20:51.609
they keep saying wee-wee poo-poo and bit-bits, right? Is that
538
00:20:51.890 --> 00:20:52.269
their thing?
539
00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:55.289
And I just said, why do you keep saying wee-wee
540
00:20:55.329 --> 00:20:58.269
poo-poo bit-bits? And they went, because it's funny. They're funny words.
541
00:20:58.710 --> 00:21:00.609
And I said, yeah, but there are other funny words.
542
00:21:00.630 --> 00:21:03.309
What's another word that's funny? And then one of them
543
00:21:03.329 --> 00:21:04.589
just went, slug.
544
00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:06.190
Really?
545
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:10.160
It really made me laugh.
546
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.980
Slug. Slug.
547
00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:15.119
I was like, it is a funny word, isn't it? Slug.
548
00:21:16.329 --> 00:21:18.049
I mean, that's one letter away with you having to
549
00:21:18.109 --> 00:21:19.710
give her a stern talking to, Rob.
550
00:21:19.869 --> 00:21:20.710
Yeah, well, exactly.
551
00:21:20.849 --> 00:21:23.829
But yeah, so I didn't see him on Sunday, but
552
00:21:23.849 --> 00:21:25.470
like yesterday, because we were doing this on a Monday.
553
00:21:25.890 --> 00:21:29.029
But I'm extremely hungover, Josh, because after I went to
554
00:21:29.049 --> 00:21:29.569
the BAFTAs.
555
00:21:30.029 --> 00:21:30.970
Sorry you didn't win, Rob.
556
00:21:31.470 --> 00:21:33.089
Oh, yeah, I did. I didn't win. Big, nasty one.
557
00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:34.509
How was the experience?
558
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.019
It's weird when you can literally sit in a pub
559
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.339
with five mates, but I can't sit two metres away
560
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:42.299
from someone without a mask on.
561
00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:44.319
So you just sat on your own for the whole thing?
562
00:21:44.339 --> 00:21:45.660
No, I was sat next to Romesh, but I had
563
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.279
to have a mask on. It was so hot. It
564
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.099
was there for ages. There's so many awards. Do you
565
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:51.799
know what? I sort of just realised I don't think
566
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.009
I watch telly. I had that when I went. I
567
00:21:55.089 --> 00:21:57.269
don't know anyone. There'd be things that would win like
568
00:21:57.329 --> 00:21:59.490
four BAFTAs. I'm like, what the fuck is this?
569
00:21:59.769 --> 00:22:00.329
I know.
570
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:04.069
I don't like telly, clearly.
571
00:22:04.529 --> 00:22:07.329
Oh, and some of it was so, like, full on,
572
00:22:07.349 --> 00:22:09.190
like the speeches. There was one speech that went on
573
00:22:09.210 --> 00:22:10.369
for three minutes, Josh.
574
00:22:10.849 --> 00:22:11.589
Three minutes?
575
00:22:11.890 --> 00:22:12.529
Three minutes.
576
00:22:12.910 --> 00:22:16.609
Casualty won Best Serial Drama, and the bloke who got
577
00:22:16.630 --> 00:22:18.869
the award was banging on about it, like Casualty was
578
00:22:18.890 --> 00:22:20.950
an actual NHS hospital. I was like, you are worried
579
00:22:20.990 --> 00:22:23.150
it's a TV. You haven't been in a pandemic, mate.
580
00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:25.309
You've just done TV about it.
581
00:22:26.509 --> 00:22:29.529
I was applauding every Thursday night for the cast of Casualty, Rob.
582
00:22:29.549 --> 00:22:30.150
I don't know about you.
583
00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:32.839
And the Hollyoaks, because some of them weren't there.
584
00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.819
Did Hollyoaks win?
585
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:36.599
No, the Hollyoaks was nominated, but it was really weird
586
00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:39.200
because there was like people in the Queen Vic freestanders,
587
00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:42.119
like eight or to 10 cast members all spread out.
588
00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:43.230
And then the Hollyoaks won.
589
00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:44.789
It was in like a weird restaurant and there was
590
00:22:44.809 --> 00:22:46.869
like tables at the back with just one bloke really
591
00:22:46.890 --> 00:22:47.349
at the front.
592
00:22:47.509 --> 00:22:49.029
And I was like, who's this guy?
593
00:22:49.130 --> 00:22:49.410
Mr.
594
00:22:49.450 --> 00:22:51.410
Hollyoaks?
595
00:22:51.549 --> 00:22:52.170
Was it Tony?
596
00:22:52.430 --> 00:22:53.170
Tony Hollyoaks.
597
00:22:53.529 --> 00:22:55.799
I don't know who it was, but it was an
598
00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:58.940
interesting set up, but it's just quite long in it
599
00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.420
and stiff.
600
00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:01.529
But yeah, I went out, had a few drinks after.
601
00:23:01.990 --> 00:23:03.009
Oh, yeah.
602
00:23:03.490 --> 00:23:04.230
But yeah, that was good.
603
00:23:04.589 --> 00:23:07.200
That's good, Rob. Do you feel like you're getting back
604
00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:09.460
to normal? Do you feel like normality is returning?
605
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.700
Yeah, I know.
606
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.099
It's weird because we went for drinks after it was
607
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:15.119
because you're just sort of sat having a drink inside
608
00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:17.380
with no mask on. But then when you're like, it
609
00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:20.500
was so weird just being sat behind Claudia Winkleman with
610
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:23.240
a mask on. And it just could be a wig.
611
00:23:23.769 --> 00:23:26.250
If Claudia Winkleman with a mask on, there's no face.
612
00:23:28.650 --> 00:23:30.099
She could have sent someone in her place.
613
00:23:30.180 --> 00:23:30.680
Couldn't it?
614
00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:34.039
Because you've got such a big fridge.
615
00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:37.500
Straight down to the top of the mast. But that
616
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:37.960
was good.
617
00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:42.440
It was good fun. Well, next year, Rob. Next year.
618
00:23:43.349 --> 00:23:45.490
Also, I had a flashback to when I was tied
619
00:23:45.509 --> 00:23:48.170
with the newborn Josh when we had our first child.
620
00:23:48.710 --> 00:23:50.970
Me and Lou had an argument about sleeping in a car.
621
00:23:51.470 --> 00:23:53.509
Because you know you've got your hour of sleep back
622
00:23:53.529 --> 00:23:56.960
from Bristol. We actually had an argument that when I
623
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.519
got a 90 minute car to West London to do filming,
624
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.019
because when our first one was six days old, I
625
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:05.460
filmed Taskmaster, the one where I rolled in goose shit
626
00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:08.960
and jumped over a fence, that one. And I literally
627
00:24:09.009 --> 00:24:10.680
had any sleep. And on the way back, I slept
628
00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:13.569
for 90 minutes in the car. And Lou was, we
629
00:24:13.609 --> 00:24:16.289
had this row about, that was like, because I was like, oh,
630
00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:17.460
I haven't had any time to sort my head out.
631
00:24:17.470 --> 00:24:18.769
She went, you had the car time.
632
00:24:19.230 --> 00:24:21.869
And that was like, we were jealous over a 90
633
00:24:21.869 --> 00:24:23.529
minute drive to Chiswick.
634
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.069
I'll be honest with you, Rob. There's so many bits
635
00:24:26.130 --> 00:24:30.450
of my job that currently look like I'm the luckiest
636
00:24:30.549 --> 00:24:33.130
person in the world in this household. Yes.
637
00:24:33.250 --> 00:24:35.609
I mean, just having a pret at Paddington Station.
638
00:24:35.769 --> 00:24:36.470
Oh, my God.
639
00:24:36.630 --> 00:24:38.710
For Rose would be like incredible.
640
00:24:39.029 --> 00:24:41.549
Yeah, exactly. I mean, I just took Rose to get
641
00:24:41.589 --> 00:24:44.450
her jab and obviously she went in to get her jab.
642
00:24:44.529 --> 00:24:48.690
What for? We're going travelling for six weeks. We're going backpacking.
643
00:24:52.210 --> 00:24:52.950
The Zika.
644
00:24:52.970 --> 00:24:57.009
Yeah, we're hiking through the Amazon. Just thought, why haven't
645
00:24:57.029 --> 00:24:58.289
we been on holiday for two years?
646
00:24:58.470 --> 00:25:00.819
Let's just go for it. How hard could it be?
647
00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:06.299
Exactly. So, but then I had like 45 minutes. I
648
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.359
just went and sat in Cafe Nero on my own.
649
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.549
And you are like, this is now, this is it
650
00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:11.920
for me.
651
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:13.950
That's peak Josh Whittakin time.
652
00:25:14.130 --> 00:25:17.089
This is my ultimate dream is to have some situation
653
00:25:17.130 --> 00:25:19.130
where I'm early or something and it means I have
654
00:25:19.150 --> 00:25:21.569
to sit in a cafe. That's all I want from life.
655
00:25:21.650 --> 00:25:23.190
It's so pathetic.
656
00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:30.450
Josh, have you got any emails or Instagrams? We're going
657
00:25:30.470 --> 00:25:31.250
to do the Instagrams.
658
00:25:31.890 --> 00:25:35.269
You do the Instagrams, Rob. Oh, I should say, by
659
00:25:35.309 --> 00:25:38.390
the way, just one more thing on the tiredness. Oh, yeah.
660
00:25:38.410 --> 00:25:40.579
Because I've written it in my phone. I was so
661
00:25:40.630 --> 00:25:41.359
tired the other day.
662
00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:44.259
I think we should have a tiredness competition. If you're
663
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.990
more tired than Josh, let us know. And then we
664
00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:49.839
can do a tally of who's most tired.
665
00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:52.720
Do you know what? In the last two nights, he
666
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.940
has been putting together runs of two and a half
667
00:25:55.980 --> 00:25:59.269
hours without waking up. So I've really rallied since then. Oh, wow.
668
00:25:59.289 --> 00:26:01.730
I mean, what are you even talking about being tired for, mate?
669
00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:02.509
Two and a half hours?
670
00:26:02.549 --> 00:26:06.170
Exactly. So I'm currently working on, you know, three blocks
671
00:26:06.210 --> 00:26:07.859
of two and a half hours of my sleep, which
672
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:08.759
isn't that bad.
673
00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:08.839
No.
674
00:26:09.809 --> 00:26:11.349
No, it's all right, to be fair. But yeah, if
675
00:26:11.390 --> 00:26:13.019
you're more tired than Josh, let us know. And also,
676
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.980
if you've got anything you want to send in, any
677
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:16.920
stories and stuff like that, let us send it in
678
00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:20.099
to hello at lockdownparenting.co.uk.
679
00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:22.579
Or you can DM us on Instagram.
680
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.400
I've got a few messages, Josh, congratulating for making the
681
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.640
Daily Mail sidebar of shame.
682
00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.160
Oh, yeah.
683
00:26:28.589 --> 00:26:29.680
I forgot about that.
684
00:26:30.190 --> 00:26:32.329
You are a celeb, Josh. They do care.
685
00:26:32.549 --> 00:26:35.930
I've had a baby... I can't sleep. The last thing
686
00:26:35.990 --> 00:26:37.849
I can announce is he and wife Rose have welcomed
687
00:26:37.869 --> 00:26:38.730
their second child.
688
00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:40.349
You didn't announce it. I've been talking about that for
689
00:26:40.410 --> 00:26:41.589
three weeks on this podcast.
690
00:26:41.670 --> 00:26:43.289
I know. They're not listening. But, you know, when you're
691
00:26:43.349 --> 00:26:44.490
on Channel 4, people listen.
692
00:26:44.650 --> 00:26:46.769
I talked about it on the bloody Ian Sterling episode
693
00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:49.529
that they fucking, well, used in the Daily Mail. They've
694
00:26:49.589 --> 00:26:50.670
skipped through my bit.
695
00:26:51.450 --> 00:26:54.029
Also, they've got comments. I'll try and find the comments
696
00:26:54.089 --> 00:26:56.470
and read out the comments about your article. Would that
697
00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:56.910
be funny?
698
00:26:57.390 --> 00:27:00.549
Well, you know, I'm fragile. That's what I was going
699
00:27:00.569 --> 00:27:02.990
to say, Rob, actually. On Saturday, I was so tired, Rob,
700
00:27:03.069 --> 00:27:05.289
I burst into tears four times during the day without
701
00:27:05.329 --> 00:27:07.549
realising why. I just started crying.
702
00:27:08.450 --> 00:27:10.190
There must have been something that triggered it. No, but
703
00:27:10.250 --> 00:27:10.549
it was.
704
00:27:10.509 --> 00:27:15.589
Always just like totally meaningless stuff. Like what? I'm trying
705
00:27:15.609 --> 00:27:17.230
to think of an example of something.
706
00:27:17.589 --> 00:27:18.609
By the looks of it, it might have been the
707
00:27:18.650 --> 00:27:19.410
Daily Mail comments.
708
00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:21.509
Oh, no. Go on, hit me with the Daily Mail
709
00:27:21.549 --> 00:27:22.930
comments then.
710
00:27:25.210 --> 00:27:28.230
I guess Rose really liked Lord of the Rings. Oh,
711
00:27:28.269 --> 00:27:30.069
come on now. Because you look like a hobbit.
712
00:27:30.190 --> 00:27:30.950
Yeah, that's good.
713
00:27:31.250 --> 00:27:32.190
Hobbit, that's fine, isn't it?
714
00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:32.970
I'll take that.
715
00:27:32.990 --> 00:27:35.869
Since when has he been a comedian? I wasn't told.
716
00:27:35.930 --> 00:27:38.190
Yes, lovely. That's a classic, isn't it? Really good.
717
00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:41.049
I think The Last Leg is too leftist for DM readers.
718
00:27:41.410 --> 00:27:43.349
Yeah, I think that's a fair comment, actually.
719
00:27:44.349 --> 00:27:48.930
This is quite funny. Thanks for letting me know. Oh, yes.
720
00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:51.759
He announced it on his podcast three weeks ago.
721
00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.819
Yes.
722
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:54.759
Yes. I have that. Here we go.
723
00:27:54.779 --> 00:28:01.740
Oh, best rated, all these. Hugely underrated comic. You're getting positives.
724
00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:04.460
I'd say that's not true. I'd say I'm rated at
725
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:05.460
about the right level.
726
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.279
I think you're adequately rated.
727
00:28:08.299 --> 00:28:11.579
Yeah, I'd say I've reached my level and I'm fine
728
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:13.190
with it and the people are fine with it.
729
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.480
Do you know what? Richard Pryor's got nothing to worry about,
730
00:28:15.529 --> 00:28:16.670
but I'm giving it a good go.
731
00:28:16.990 --> 00:28:19.690
I'm making a lovely living from it, but I'm not
732
00:28:19.730 --> 00:28:23.190
going to go down in history.
733
00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:25.349
Unless you do something awful.
734
00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:27.319
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
735
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:28.900
Do you reckon they'll put a picture of you up
736
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:30.200
when you die at the end of the BAFTAs?
737
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.779
This man sat through four separate BAFTAs without winning.
738
00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:37.279
That's how he caused a death, that was.
739
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.609
Cause of death, boredom.
740
00:28:44.289 --> 00:28:47.029
It's so funny because the BAFTA award's literally a face
741
00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:48.690
of a stiff neck you hold, isn't it?
742
00:28:50.890 --> 00:28:54.220
If you add up... Each of those BAFTAs, by the way,
743
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:56.140
each of those ceremonies is longer than the sleep I
744
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:58.319
get each night, by the way. Just so you know.
745
00:28:58.339 --> 00:29:00.220
Well, I'm excited to hear about people that are more
746
00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:02.200
tired than you. I think it's going to be a great.
747
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.299
Because me and Lou had these arguments where you mustn't
748
00:29:04.339 --> 00:29:06.480
make it a competition. And we always said we will
749
00:29:06.529 --> 00:29:09.390
never make tiredness a competition and who's the most tired.
750
00:29:09.430 --> 00:29:10.849
And then she went to me, but if it was
751
00:29:10.869 --> 00:29:14.589
a competition, I'd win. Which was one of the funniest,
752
00:29:14.630 --> 00:29:15.809
most petty things ever.
753
00:29:16.609 --> 00:29:20.069
Here we go. This is just a... Oh, it should
754
00:29:20.089 --> 00:29:23.670
be called the left leg. That's classic. Do you get that?
755
00:29:23.690 --> 00:29:25.250
Because Alex doesn't got a right leg.
756
00:29:27.390 --> 00:29:30.710
Yeah, so it's actually quite fairly positive for the Mail Online.
757
00:29:30.910 --> 00:29:31.549
Oh, that's a shame.
758
00:29:31.690 --> 00:29:33.890
Yeah. And people saying they like the podcast.
759
00:29:33.890 --> 00:29:35.819
So yeah oh that's good I mean there is some
760
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.680
awful stuff but you don't want to hear that yeah
761
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.299
I don't want to hear that Dallard who.
762
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:42.500
Calls someone a Dallard I'll take Dallard you'll take Dallard
763
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.200
I mean you've got to remember that these people are
764
00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:47.640
commenting on a Daily Mail article so I have absolutely
765
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.529
no respect for them even the ones that say they
766
00:29:49.569 --> 00:29:50.869
like the podcast.
767
00:29:52.650 --> 00:29:55.140
Right let's do the Instagram messages There we go. Dear
768
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.200
Josh and Rob, I was listening to the Helen Russell
769
00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:58.299
podcast episode.
770
00:29:58.380 --> 00:29:58.880
I can relate.
771
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.460
I'm an Australian who moved to Denmark around the same
772
00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:04.089
time as Helen. I have two daughters, seven and nine.
773
00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:05.490
Strange names. Hey!
774
00:30:05.630 --> 00:30:07.910
Hey! Lovely bit of business.
775
00:30:08.069 --> 00:30:11.349
When the eldest was around five years old, her kindy
776
00:30:11.369 --> 00:30:14.529
cars visited the fire station to see the trucks, etc.
777
00:30:15.029 --> 00:30:17.089
When she came home, she told me she'd also seen
778
00:30:17.109 --> 00:30:20.480
the frozen animals. She went on to explain... If you
779
00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:23.099
haven't listened to the Helen Russell episode, they do a
780
00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:26.190
lot of, like, Just dead animals. What's it called when
781
00:30:26.210 --> 00:30:27.029
you cut open a.
782
00:30:27.150 --> 00:30:27.730
Dissections?
783
00:30:28.049 --> 00:30:28.470
Dissection.
784
00:30:28.490 --> 00:30:30.329
Yeah, they're quite gruesome, but they're interesting.
785
00:30:30.349 --> 00:30:32.170
Anyway, she saw the frozen animals and then went on
786
00:30:32.210 --> 00:30:34.529
to explain they had freezers full of dead dogs and
787
00:30:34.589 --> 00:30:35.589
cats and deers.
788
00:30:35.609 --> 00:30:37.150
Jesus, what? which they could look at.
789
00:30:37.569 --> 00:30:39.910
Apparently, it's where they store any dead animals picked up
790
00:30:39.970 --> 00:30:43.019
off the road, so it's essentially a roadkill morgue.
791
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:44.180
Why would you keep them?
792
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:44.759
Oh, my word.
793
00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:46.140
Oh, my God.
794
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:49.700
She recently slept over at a large aquarium with her
795
00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:51.799
class and had the fun of seeing an octopus being
796
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:52.500
chopped up.
797
00:30:52.829 --> 00:30:54.309
And could play with its guts.
798
00:30:55.049 --> 00:30:55.970
Oh, my God.
799
00:30:56.269 --> 00:30:59.089
And got to write things with its ink. This is
800
00:30:59.170 --> 00:31:00.970
also normal for Danish schools.
801
00:31:01.750 --> 00:31:03.130
Wow. And then when my youngest was six.
802
00:31:03.150 --> 00:31:05.559
The teacher thought it would be lovely to each week
803
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:07.640
walk to a different child's house and visit their garden,
804
00:31:08.339 --> 00:31:10.380
eat their morning snack, and walk back to school. This
805
00:31:10.619 --> 00:31:12.140
is in an area where most of the kids live
806
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.900
in a one-kilometre radius. When it came to our daughter's turn,
807
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.259
we warned the teacher that we were, in fact, 2.5
808
00:31:17.259 --> 00:31:21.279
kilometres away through a thick forest of... Needless to say,
809
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.559
25 six-rolls are very tired after a five-game round trip.
810
00:31:26.660 --> 00:31:30.349
Keep up the good work. I love listening, Jane. Thanks, Jane,
811
00:31:30.529 --> 00:31:32.349
from Australia, now Denmark.
812
00:31:32.390 --> 00:31:33.009
Thanks, Jane.
813
00:31:33.589 --> 00:31:34.190
Oh, here we go.
814
00:31:34.609 --> 00:31:36.609
These people struggling with Euros. Also, I've just found out
815
00:31:36.650 --> 00:31:38.650
it's Lou's birthday on the England-Scotland game.
816
00:31:39.130 --> 00:31:39.569
Oh, mate.
817
00:31:40.170 --> 00:31:41.650
I've just said to her I'm watching the football.
818
00:31:41.990 --> 00:31:43.750
Yeah. And we'll do something today. Well, this is the thing.
819
00:31:43.769 --> 00:31:46.710
Euros does start this week, Rob. Yeah, I know. This week.
820
00:31:46.849 --> 00:31:47.329
But I can't.
821
00:31:47.589 --> 00:31:50.890
If it was Croatia, I'd... But I can't. Lou's having
822
00:31:50.910 --> 00:31:52.049
a little get-together anyway.
823
00:31:52.130 --> 00:31:54.450
Can't you do something in the day with Lou?
824
00:31:54.609 --> 00:31:57.380
No, she can't because she, by accident, signed up to
825
00:31:57.390 --> 00:31:59.500
do a little play, a thing where you go and
826
00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:01.160
help with the kids at their school.
827
00:32:01.500 --> 00:32:02.779
But she didn't realise it was her birthday.
828
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:03.460
Oh.
829
00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:04.339
She's had a howler.
830
00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:06.640
She's having the worst birthday ever.
831
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.940
And it hasn't started yet.
832
00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:13.400
Out of 10, how into the Euros will Lou be? Well,
833
00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:14.420
not out of 10. Just tell me.
834
00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:16.690
You don't need to put a number on it. It's eight.
835
00:32:16.730 --> 00:32:20.309
End of conversation. No, it's... Happy now? Do you want
836
00:32:20.369 --> 00:32:21.029
digits or do you.
837
00:32:20.970 --> 00:32:23.109
Want to chat? Good. I've got a spreadsheet.
838
00:32:23.170 --> 00:32:24.829
I'm going to plot it in. How was your week
839
00:32:24.869 --> 00:32:26.569
out of 10? Seven. Thanks for listening.
840
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.380
She'll watch England games and would be up for loads
841
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.960
of people coming around to watch and things like that.
842
00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:35.039
But she'll probably watch it with me. But I feel guilty.
843
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:36.119
But I might have to do something for her. I
844
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:36.759
don't know what to do, though.
845
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:37.539
Oh, God.
846
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:38.680
I'll have to think. I'm panicking now.
847
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:38.900
Right.
848
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.509
Let's concentrate on this and I'll sort that out later.
849
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.829
This is from Emma. I'm still catching up having listened
850
00:32:44.869 --> 00:32:47.230
to episode 38, series one. I decided to send you
851
00:32:47.269 --> 00:32:49.809
a It Worked For Me suggestion. I've thought about telling
852
00:32:49.829 --> 00:32:52.480
you this before when you mentioned kids squabbling over things.
853
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.000
I have three children, boy 18, boy 16, girl 14.
854
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.140
And when they were small, they used to fight about
855
00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:02.829
others taking their things. And so I decided to color
856
00:33:02.910 --> 00:33:04.309
code my children.
857
00:33:04.630 --> 00:33:04.990
Go on.
858
00:33:05.089 --> 00:33:08.509
My oldest was blue. Then it was the middle one
859
00:33:08.549 --> 00:33:11.130
was green and the youngest was red. It's important to
860
00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:14.079
choose colors that are easy to get in everything. When
861
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:20.220
I say everything, I mean coats, bags, plates, cups, sweets, toys, etc.
862
00:33:20.349 --> 00:33:21.730
Even Christmas wrapping paper.
863
00:33:21.769 --> 00:33:24.450
That's going to affect them in the long term, isn't it?
864
00:33:24.509 --> 00:33:27.190
Well, they're 18, 16 and 14. So I'd love to know.
865
00:33:27.210 --> 00:33:27.650
This is Emma.
866
00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:29.289
I'd love to know what they think of their colour now.
867
00:33:29.690 --> 00:33:32.230
Even Christmas wrapping paper is a proper colour. When one
868
00:33:32.250 --> 00:33:34.839
of them would say he has my insert name of item,
869
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.180
it was easy for me to see if it was
870
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.539
true or not. This was an absolute game changer in
871
00:33:40.579 --> 00:33:41.099
my life.
872
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:42.019
I think.
873
00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:44.380
Even now, if I buy them all something, I will
874
00:33:44.420 --> 00:33:47.500
buy it in their colours. I think this is easy,
875
00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:49.829
but it's got to have some sort of psychological impact.
876
00:33:50.089 --> 00:33:50.619
Yeah.
877
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.809
What are the three options? Sorry, run me through them again.
878
00:33:52.849 --> 00:33:55.750
Green, red, and then blue.
879
00:33:56.029 --> 00:33:57.269
You want blue, don't you?
880
00:33:57.690 --> 00:33:58.970
Yeah, like red.
881
00:33:58.990 --> 00:33:59.069
Yeah.
882
00:33:59.630 --> 00:34:02.750
Red is not a colour. Your whole life is like red.
883
00:34:02.849 --> 00:34:05.589
Especially in these different shades. In my head, it's all
884
00:34:05.609 --> 00:34:06.910
like big red, bright red.
885
00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:07.170
Yeah.
886
00:34:07.529 --> 00:34:08.889
I don't think that's a good idea, Emma.
887
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:11.659
No, I'm not sure about it. I mean, I like
888
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.360
the idea, Emma, but I do worry about the psychological
889
00:34:14.409 --> 00:34:16.489
impact of a child only ever seeing one colour.
890
00:34:16.510 --> 00:34:18.070
Yeah.
891
00:34:18.690 --> 00:34:21.530
It is an issue, but it is a good way
892
00:34:21.570 --> 00:34:22.260
of working with it.
893
00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:24.610
Yeah, she says the 18-year-old, whose colour was blue, now
894
00:34:24.670 --> 00:34:28.949
lives on a boat in the seas. And we've got
895
00:34:28.989 --> 00:34:35.130
green here now, camps, and then the red one. LAUGHTER Oh, yeah.
896
00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:39.710
I'd love to know how they feel about it. Because
897
00:34:39.750 --> 00:34:42.269
it's obviously great for the parent because it makes things easy.
898
00:34:42.329 --> 00:34:44.349
But Emma, if you listen, I'd love to hear how
899
00:34:44.389 --> 00:34:45.909
they feel about it. And if they want to get
900
00:34:45.929 --> 00:34:48.090
in contact or anyone else has done this, because that is,
901
00:34:48.670 --> 00:34:49.550
I think, too extreme.
902
00:34:49.949 --> 00:34:51.530
Can't be good for you, can it?
903
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:57.099
Well, we'll see. Hi, Rob and Josh. I've got an
904
00:34:57.139 --> 00:35:00.340
email here, Rob. You two have kept me company on
905
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.710
my dog walks for the past year. You've given me
906
00:35:02.750 --> 00:35:06.150
some proper laugh out loud moments. Bingate being one of them.
907
00:35:06.329 --> 00:35:08.929
Good to get a shout out, isn't it? I'm a
908
00:35:08.969 --> 00:35:12.150
mum with a 25 and 17 year old. So I've
909
00:35:12.170 --> 00:35:15.260
had it easy. I've just been scrolling through the crazy
910
00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:20.099
dating site, Plenty of Fish. And I'm going to, can
911
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.760
you hear my baby crying? Oh God. By the way,
912
00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:27.199
I should say just before I was recording this, I
913
00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:29.619
was about to come upstairs and I said, you're right
914
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.769
to take him for a bit. And I thought, oh,
915
00:35:32.340 --> 00:35:35.119
She's forgotten that I've said I'm recording this. This is
916
00:35:35.139 --> 00:35:39.159
an absolute disaster. But I haven't got an option. So, no,
917
00:35:39.179 --> 00:35:42.420
I'm not right. See you later. Right. How do I
918
00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:47.570
copy this image? God, I'm tired. They are right. Whatever
919
00:35:47.610 --> 00:35:49.449
that person said, I was boring or whatever they said
920
00:35:49.489 --> 00:35:50.130
on the Daily Mail.
921
00:35:50.670 --> 00:35:53.769
You're not boring. You're just a dad doing his best.
922
00:35:53.789 --> 00:35:55.949
I'm going to take a photo of my computer screen
923
00:35:55.989 --> 00:35:58.110
on the phone. Okay. Send it to you.
924
00:35:58.789 --> 00:36:01.570
Oh, someone said on the comments, sorry to be so
925
00:36:01.610 --> 00:36:04.389
bored by your sob story, because you said you're tired.
926
00:36:04.690 --> 00:36:05.429
Sob story?
927
00:36:05.489 --> 00:36:06.690
Your voice is enough, mate.
928
00:36:07.150 --> 00:36:09.090
My voice is enough, thank you very much. Just takes
929
00:36:09.110 --> 00:36:11.349
my voice to make them laugh. That is an absolute win.
930
00:36:11.550 --> 00:36:14.630
I'll stop writing material. Rob, that's from Plenty of Fish. Right,
931
00:36:14.670 --> 00:36:14.909
shall we?
932
00:36:14.949 --> 00:36:16.489
Oh, has it come through? You've spent it, hasn't it?
933
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:17.260
Whoa.
934
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:18.460
Oh, hello.
935
00:36:18.989 --> 00:36:21.829
Look what? Naughty boy. I won't give him his full name,
936
00:36:21.849 --> 00:36:23.630
but it does look like it's Naughty Boy followed by
937
00:36:23.650 --> 00:36:24.070
a number. Right.
938
00:36:24.110 --> 00:36:27.429
I've got a lot of... One, what the hell have
939
00:36:27.489 --> 00:36:29.230
I got on my face? A lot of Edgar Davids.
940
00:36:29.289 --> 00:36:29.849
What are those glasses?
941
00:36:29.869 --> 00:36:30.590
What are those glasses?
942
00:36:30.610 --> 00:36:31.320
I don't even remember owning them.
943
00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:32.699
So this is a photo of him with his arm
944
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.360
around you. Yes.
945
00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:37.579
I've met him somewhere. That looks like about 10 years ago.
946
00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:39.079
You look so young.
947
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.420
I've got some issues here. He says he's 5'10. There
948
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:48.900
is no way he's 5'10. I'm 5'8, right? And he's
949
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:49.900
about my height, isn't he?
950
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.059
Yeah, yeah. There's no way he's 5'10.
951
00:36:52.059 --> 00:36:54.320
There's no way he's 5'10.
952
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:55.920
Unless I'm talking to him on a step.
953
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.989
He is from Kent, so that does check out that
954
00:36:59.010 --> 00:37:00.030
he would know you're off.
955
00:37:00.050 --> 00:37:01.610
Looks good for 54.
956
00:37:01.610 --> 00:37:03.769
He does look good for 54, doesn't he?
957
00:37:03.849 --> 00:37:06.170
Incredible for 54.
958
00:37:06.170 --> 00:37:08.150
But if you consider how long ago that was that
959
00:37:08.190 --> 00:37:10.349
you looked like that, he's probably 44 in that picture.
960
00:37:10.369 --> 00:37:12.679
The thing is, I don't realise how stupid I look
961
00:37:12.699 --> 00:37:15.969
until I see myself next to a normal person. My
962
00:37:16.070 --> 00:37:19.420
mouth is so big. They've got them stupid glasses on.
963
00:37:19.449 --> 00:37:20.210
My hair's like a.
964
00:37:20.190 --> 00:37:23.130
Big blonde bird's nest. I just look into... I don't
965
00:37:23.190 --> 00:37:24.760
look like a normal human, do I?
966
00:37:25.909 --> 00:37:27.760
I look like a cartoon boy that's alive.
967
00:37:27.780 --> 00:37:29.820
Do you know what I mean?
968
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:34.300
Oh, yes. You really do. I don't ever remember you
969
00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:35.119
wearing those glasses.
970
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:36.440
No, neither do I.
971
00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:38.360
They are absolutely insane.
972
00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:40.159
Has he put them on me? Or am I wearing
973
00:37:40.179 --> 00:37:41.139
his glasses, Amanda?
974
00:37:42.849 --> 00:37:44.010
Yeah, can I have a photo with you? Can you
975
00:37:44.030 --> 00:37:44.809
put my glasses on?
976
00:37:44.889 --> 00:37:46.179
Yeah, let me try your glasses on, can't I?
977
00:37:48.429 --> 00:37:50.300
So there we go. Bit of fun, isn't it?
978
00:37:50.340 --> 00:37:51.000
Bit of fun.
979
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:52.659
Bit of fun. Do you know what?
980
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:54.219
Is he the son of Ann Widdicombe? Sorry, just a
981
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:54.739
few more comments.
982
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.300
Oh, yeah, yeah. Is he the son of Ann Widdicombe?
983
00:37:57.579 --> 00:38:00.340
Do some research. It's spelled differently, you fucking idiots.
984
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.699
Oh, love this sitcom. Someone said that. That's nice.
985
00:38:03.139 --> 00:38:05.019
Oh, I don't have any belief in any of these
986
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:06.969
Daily Mail people. Do they have those things where they
987
00:38:06.989 --> 00:38:08.070
have thumbs up and thumbs down?
988
00:38:08.090 --> 00:38:11.070
Here's one from Pontifact Films. Pat, who now lives in
989
00:38:11.090 --> 00:38:13.050
South Africa. Funniness.
990
00:38:13.190 --> 00:38:16.409
And Josh Widdicombe is like the Pope and a course
991
00:38:16.550 --> 00:38:19.570
on brothel management. Just not connected.
992
00:38:20.070 --> 00:38:20.739
Wow.
993
00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:23.159
That is phenomenal.
994
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:30.380
What the fuck is that? 100 facts, Pat. You fucking loaded.
995
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:31.880
I'm like, can I reply to her?
996
00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:34.019
Go and you click on the profile and see what
997
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:35.699
other things Pontifract. Good.
998
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:37.159
Well, I'm just going to write a good one, Pat.
999
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:39.119
Yeah, go on. With your name.
1000
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:40.760
I've got to log in. I've got to set up
1001
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:42.119
a daily mail account.
1002
00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:44.840
You don't need to do that. How many comments has
1003
00:38:44.860 --> 00:38:48.059
this fucking article got? Who's commenting on it?
1004
00:38:49.809 --> 00:38:52.869
It's not exactly like it's a juicy gossip one.
1005
00:38:53.010 --> 00:38:55.369
Who's got to the end of it?
1006
00:38:55.489 --> 00:38:59.610
Also, if someone announces they've got a kid, all you say,
1007
00:38:59.730 --> 00:39:01.610
if you have to say anything, is, oh, congratulations.
1008
00:39:02.250 --> 00:39:05.889
I've never, as a postman, if my postman went to me,
1009
00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:07.869
I had a kid the other day, I'd go... Oh,
1010
00:39:08.070 --> 00:39:11.280
you and delivering letters? It's like the Pope and an avocado.
1011
00:39:11.900 --> 00:39:13.159
It's just not cricket.
1012
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:14.210
Oh, fuck off, man.
1013
00:39:14.219 --> 00:39:15.599
I'm just doing letters here. What's that got to do
1014
00:39:15.619 --> 00:39:17.760
with anything? I've just had a kid. Why are you
1015
00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:20.820
slagging me off? It doesn't happen anywhere else, does it?
1016
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:22.989
If you're at a supermarket, I've just had a kid.
1017
00:39:23.010 --> 00:39:24.429
Where's the fucking beans?
1018
00:39:24.630 --> 00:39:25.530
You're a disgrace.
1019
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:27.510
Can't even get the beans out.
1020
00:39:29.099 --> 00:39:33.769
Well, give me a percentage breakdown on negativity, Rob.
1021
00:39:33.869 --> 00:39:35.449
Right, okay. So if I go to.
1022
00:39:35.710 --> 00:39:37.070
What's the most popular comment?
1023
00:39:37.250 --> 00:39:40.710
The most popular comment is someone saying a hugely underrated comedian,
1024
00:39:40.710 --> 00:39:44.969
240 up arrows, 67 down arrows.
1025
00:39:45.969 --> 00:39:49.010
Still 67 down arrows? And that's the best I've done.
1026
00:39:49.210 --> 00:39:52.389
Yeah, but a lot of people are... No, no.
1027
00:39:52.429 --> 00:39:55.340
And then people reply to that message saying, oh, I
1028
00:39:55.380 --> 00:39:56.699
think he's unfunny. But then a lot of people say,
1029
00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:57.599
I do think he's funny.
1030
00:39:58.300 --> 00:40:02.659
I don't know. I love Joshua Winnicombe's and Robert Baerbeck's podcast.
1031
00:40:05.110 --> 00:40:10.269
I don't dislike him by any means. He's not a
1032
00:40:10.289 --> 00:40:15.440
clever comedian and definitely not underrated. He's very average. I
1033
00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:18.440
think worse than the proper height. Why are so many
1034
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:22.260
South Africans commenting on this? They do like a divisive opinion.
1035
00:40:22.780 --> 00:40:26.239
You say what you like about South Africans, it normally
1036
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:27.199
does go right down the middle.
1037
00:40:27.260 --> 00:40:30.460
Surely there's bigger shit going on, right? Come on, guys.
1038
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.980
Do you know what? Why don't you have a little
1039
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.019
look at yourself, South Africa? Poor old Josh is banging
1040
00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:37.599
out a kid. Why don't you sort out what's going
1041
00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:38.340
on there, yeah?
1042
00:40:38.980 --> 00:40:40.719
Oh, wow.
1043
00:40:40.889 --> 00:40:42.610
Yeah, and people saying they like the podcast and then
1044
00:40:42.650 --> 00:40:44.610
other people saying they do like you and they don't
1045
00:40:44.670 --> 00:40:44.900
like you.
1046
00:40:44.909 --> 00:40:46.929
It's very split down the middle to me. You're like Brexit, mate.
1047
00:40:47.070 --> 00:40:51.909
Well, it's amazing. It really is. Do you know what?
1048
00:40:52.010 --> 00:40:53.429
After all these months of wanting to get in the
1049
00:40:53.469 --> 00:40:55.320
Daily Mail, I'm not sure it was for everything.
1050
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:56.619
It was cracked up to be after all. I think
1051
00:40:56.659 --> 00:40:58.579
you've swerved it, to be fair. Like, the Ian Stirling
1052
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:00.159
ones have about 3,000 comments.
1053
00:41:00.460 --> 00:41:02.539
You've done all right, mate. You've done all right. Shall
1054
00:41:02.579 --> 00:41:03.780
we do a small business shout-out?
1055
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:05.860
Sure, more business, and then shall we go to bed?
1056
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:06.960
Yeah, let's do this.
1057
00:41:07.179 --> 00:41:09.599
Right. You must be tired, Rob.
1058
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.239
I've got a gig tonight as well.
1059
00:41:11.739 --> 00:41:13.019
Oh, where are you gigging?
1060
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:16.639
In West London. It's miles away. Hi, Rob and Josh.
1061
00:41:16.659 --> 00:41:21.079
Sean here from Planet Play Indoor Play Centre. Myself and
1062
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.570
my wife, Nicola, opened our indoor play centre, aka Softplay,
1063
00:41:25.190 --> 00:41:28.690
in Honiton, Devon, on the 2nd of March.
1064
00:41:28.789 --> 00:41:31.429
Yes, keep talking, keep talking. Honiton, know it.
1065
00:41:31.650 --> 00:41:35.510
They opened it on the 2nd of March, 2020. 21
1066
00:41:35.510 --> 00:41:38.659
days after opening, we were closed due to lockdown. Since then,
1067
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:40.800
we've been shut for 11 months. We are reopening on
1068
00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:42.420
the 17th of May and can't wait.
1069
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:43.400
I have been.
1070
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.860
Working for a window cleaner while we've been closed and
1071
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.079
have had to be able to spend way more time
1072
00:41:48.099 --> 00:41:52.239
with my wife and three boys, which was a huge bonus. However,
1073
00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:53.579
please can we have a shout out as we are
1074
00:41:53.619 --> 00:41:56.550
reopening and we would love people to come and enjoy
1075
00:41:56.630 --> 00:41:59.690
our play center. Me and the wife listen to LPH constantly.
1076
00:41:59.750 --> 00:42:00.409
Keep doing what you're doing.
1077
00:42:00.449 --> 00:42:03.610
Awesome stuff. So that's Sean at the Planet Play Indoor
1078
00:42:03.650 --> 00:42:06.110
Play Center, Honiton, Devon.
1079
00:42:06.510 --> 00:42:08.769
There we go. What you got, Josh? This is a
1080
00:42:08.829 --> 00:42:12.079
serious one, but this is a really nice one. Hi,
1081
00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:14.559
I have a small business to promote. It's not my own,
1082
00:42:14.900 --> 00:42:16.780
but in light of the episode with Charlie Baker, I
1083
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:19.139
thought it was a good one to shout out. It's
1084
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.519
called Little Leo Jewelry Company and it's run by a
1085
00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:24.679
lovely lady called Beth in memory of her little boy, Leo,
1086
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:27.179
who was born sleeping and his brother, Bear, who she
1087
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.019
lost through miscarriage. She creates handmade pieces of jewelry in
1088
00:42:31.059 --> 00:42:32.980
memory of babies who didn't make it to earth, whether
1089
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.070
through miscarriage or stillbirth. She sells a variety of jewelry
1090
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:39.300
with small wish bands to encourage fertility wishes to sterling
1091
00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:42.849
silver necklaces and bracelets in memory of your child. I
1092
00:42:42.889 --> 00:42:45.449
bought my husband a small wish band with a beautiful
1093
00:42:45.469 --> 00:42:47.789
poem printed on the card, about how we'll always be
1094
00:42:47.809 --> 00:42:50.329
a daddy after we miscarried our first baby, and it
1095
00:42:50.349 --> 00:42:53.690
brought him so much comfort. Beth is lovely and amazing,
1096
00:42:53.730 --> 00:42:55.809
and it's a brave thing to do to continue her
1097
00:42:55.849 --> 00:43:01.829
son's legacy. The website is HTTPS, colon, I don't need
1098
00:43:01.849 --> 00:43:05.539
that bit, surely, do I, Rob? I'm not Pete Tong.
1099
00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:07.639
World Wide Web, dot.
1100
00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:12.679
World Wide Web. Just click on Internet Explorer. I like
1101
00:43:12.699 --> 00:43:15.860
the modem, 56K. Make sure no one needs to make
1102
00:43:15.900 --> 00:43:16.440
a phone call.
1103
00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:19.119
Is your phone WAP enabled? Because you're in luck.
1104
00:43:19.570 --> 00:43:21.489
These guys have got an online site.
1105
00:43:24.230 --> 00:43:34.869
The website is www.thelittleleojewelryco.com. That's the littleleojewelryco.com. She's also on
1106
00:43:34.929 --> 00:43:38.130
Facebook at Little Leo Jewelry. Jewelry Co.
1107
00:43:38.269 --> 00:43:39.750
Well, good luck, guys, with your businesses.
1108
00:43:40.010 --> 00:43:41.210
Good luck, everyone.
1109
00:43:41.230 --> 00:43:41.909
Josh, we've got.
1110
00:43:42.130 --> 00:43:44.570
Except those people who read the Daily Mail online and
1111
00:43:44.590 --> 00:43:45.050
leave comments.
1112
00:43:45.070 --> 00:43:49.409
Look, mate, you're not a dullard. Look, you're not overrated.
1113
00:43:49.429 --> 00:43:52.860
You're not underrated. You're rated, mate. You're just a rated guy.
1114
00:43:52.980 --> 00:43:57.280
He's fully rated. Perfectly rated. Yeah, thanks for listening. We've
1115
00:43:57.300 --> 00:43:59.360
got Paul McCaffrey, who's just had a baby, like a
1116
00:43:59.460 --> 00:44:03.300
one or two week old. So he's fresh. It's fresh
1117
00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:06.480
for it. He's on the episode on Friday. A very
1118
00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:07.079
funny comedian.
1119
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.820
Always the best ones when someone's in a worse position
1120
00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:11.719
than you. Exactly.
1121
00:44:12.030 --> 00:44:14.469
Also, don't forget to tell us how tired you are
1122
00:44:14.530 --> 00:44:16.469
if you're more tired than Josh and we'll do a
1123
00:44:16.469 --> 00:44:21.289
little competition and you can get in contact. Hello at lockdownparent.co.uk
1124
00:44:21.809 --> 00:44:22.530
and also.
1125
00:44:22.349 --> 00:44:24.670
Your small business shout out. And please rate and review
1126
00:44:24.690 --> 00:44:28.170
on the app if you can. That'd be very helpful.
1127
00:44:28.190 --> 00:44:30.570
Yeah, do rate and review. Do rate and review because
1128
00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:31.469
it makes a difference.
1129
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:33.340
Thank you. See you on Friday.
1130
00:44:33.489 --> 00:44:33.820
Bye.
1131
00:44:38.590 --> 00:44:41.329
Hello, Alan Davis here, inviting you to join me by
1132
00:44:41.389 --> 00:44:45.530
listening to a new podcast, Seven Pillars. Each episode, I'll
1133
00:44:45.550 --> 00:44:48.750
be talking to a famous guest to discuss seven significant
1134
00:44:48.889 --> 00:44:54.260
cultural influences, inspirations or experiences. Seven things that helped shape them,
1135
00:44:54.460 --> 00:44:56.980
that they loved or that they returned to again and again.
1136
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.300
and hold a special place in their life. From films
1137
00:45:00.340 --> 00:45:05.300
and music, books, food, places, and memories, the podcast asks
1138
00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:08.599
seven questions that will spark stories for the guests and
1139
00:45:08.619 --> 00:45:11.820
give the listener an insight into the minds and passions
1140
00:45:12.219 --> 00:45:15.820
of some of the most interesting comedians, actors, writers, philosophers,
1141
00:45:16.099 --> 00:45:20.949
and raconteurs around. Starting with comedian Romesh Ranganathan in episode one,
1142
00:45:20.989 --> 00:45:23.329
which is out now. And in the coming weeks, we
1143
00:45:23.369 --> 00:45:27.429
have Hollywood actor Walton Goggins, comedy legend Joe Brown, author
1144
00:45:27.730 --> 00:45:31.469
and intellectual heavyweight Jay Parini, and many more. You can
1145
00:45:31.510 --> 00:45:35.630
find the show by searching Seven Pillars on all podcast platforms.
