WEBVTT
1
00:00:02.980 --> 00:00:05.339
Hello I'm Rob Beckett and I'm Josh Willicombe.
2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:07.000
Welcome to Parenting.
3
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:08.779
Hell the show in which Josh and I discuss what
4
00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:11.380
it's really like to be a parent which I would
5
00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:12.500
say can be a little tricky.
6
00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:15.539
So to make ourselves and hopefully you feel better about
7
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:18.640
the trials and tribulations of modern day parenting each week
8
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:21.210
we'll be chatting to a famous parent about how they're.
9
00:00:21.050 --> 00:00:23.589
Coping or hopefully how they're not coping.
10
00:00:23.510 --> 00:00:25.149
And we'll also be hearing from you the listener with
11
00:00:25.170 --> 00:00:28.750
your tips advice and of course tales of parenting.
12
00:00:28.329 --> 00:00:31.070
Woe because let's be honest there are plenty of times
13
00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:37.399
where none of us know what we're doing Hello, you're
14
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.119
listening to Parenting Hell with.
15
00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:40.859
Robert.
16
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.020
Emily, can you say Rob Beckett? Rob Beckett. Can you
17
00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:50.479
say Josh Widdecombe? Josh Widdecombe.
18
00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:51.280
The gal.
19
00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:52.990
There we go.
20
00:00:53.609 --> 00:00:54.530
Very cute.
21
00:00:55.070 --> 00:00:56.049
Hi, Rob, Josh and Michael.
22
00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:59.469
Here's Emily, two. Very good for two. Waiting for her
23
00:00:59.509 --> 00:01:02.070
brother to arrive. Disclaimer, this was recorded in May. It's
24
00:01:02.130 --> 00:01:05.290
taken me a while to send in. I don't know
25
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.370
if that's a disclaimer. It doesn't really matter, does it?
26
00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:09.590
It feels like he's beating himself up.
27
00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:15.019
She. She. Sorry. I think I may have misheard what
28
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.480
you said. I don't think I was listening to what
29
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:17.799
you said. No, no, fair enough.
30
00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:20.500
That's totally fair enough. If anything, the bit where I
31
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:22.079
read the email at the start, that's a chance for
32
00:01:22.099 --> 00:01:22.920
you to just chill.
33
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.689
Well, no, I was still sort of like enjoying the
34
00:01:25.849 --> 00:01:28.189
kid giggling, and then you're into it, which is not
35
00:01:28.209 --> 00:01:29.510
a criticism to your read of it.
36
00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:30.950
I was having too much fun.
37
00:01:30.969 --> 00:01:31.049
Yeah.
38
00:01:33.829 --> 00:01:35.670
That's me clicking my finger to go, you know, a
39
00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:38.530
rapid fire of a Mock the Week edit.
40
00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:42.560
Yes, of course. You're a pretty dynamic guy. Yeah, when
41
00:01:42.579 --> 00:01:45.000
you watch Mock the Week now on Dave, you're like, whoa,
42
00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:46.870
this is not how people talk now.
43
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.939
First of all, when are you doing that? What's going wrong?
44
00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:54.439
Are you okay? You get in after Mock the Week.
45
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.930
And you've got your bowl of Rice Krispies, which I
46
00:01:56.950 --> 00:01:59.170
have when I get in for my gig. That is
47
00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:01.489
a danger zone for eating for me after a gig
48
00:02:01.510 --> 00:02:02.269
at Home Alone.
49
00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:03.370
So difficult, isn't it?
50
00:02:04.590 --> 00:02:07.739
It's so quiet and calm and all the pressure and
51
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.099
stress of gigging's gone and you just sit there with
52
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.780
a bit of cheese on toast.
53
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.229
Oh, cheese on toast, you cheeky little devil. I know
54
00:02:16.270 --> 00:02:19.189
and I think, am I going to have crazy dreams? Probably,
55
00:02:19.469 --> 00:02:22.750
but I like cheese. Do you believe the cheese dreams thing?
56
00:02:24.050 --> 00:02:26.719
Do I believe it gives you dreams or do I
57
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:28.460
believe what happens in the dreams?
58
00:02:29.289 --> 00:02:30.610
No, the first. The first.
59
00:02:31.490 --> 00:02:34.909
I imagine there is some science, but I don't think
60
00:02:34.930 --> 00:02:39.330
I'm eating enough. It's not like it's a sprinkle. I'm
61
00:02:39.509 --> 00:02:41.889
having like toast. Well, I'm still having cheese on toast
62
00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:44.120
in denial. Well, what I'll do is I'll do some
63
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.639
toast and sort of like butter it and think like, oh,
64
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.879
I'm just having a bit of toast, aren't I? Oh,
65
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.319
there's some grated cheese in there that the kids have.
66
00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:53.479
I'll just sprinkle a bit of that on. I'm not
67
00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:55.599
having cheese on toast. Do you let them melt it?
68
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.300
No. So you have unmelted cheese on toast.
69
00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:02.180
And before I was on the grind to getting ripped
70
00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:05.650
for 40, I would have mayo on top of that. Oh,
71
00:03:05.689 --> 00:03:09.990
my word. Which is delicious. But, you know, I'm trying
72
00:03:10.050 --> 00:03:10.629
to be healthy.
73
00:03:10.930 --> 00:03:12.849
You're looking good, Rob, with your long hair and your.
74
00:03:12.990 --> 00:03:15.449
My long hair, my greasy long hair and glasses.
75
00:03:15.590 --> 00:03:17.569
I was thinking, do you know what? It came up
76
00:03:17.650 --> 00:03:18.349
on my phone.
77
00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:23.930
It recommended me, I'm unbelievably parenting hell, I think, on
78
00:03:23.969 --> 00:03:24.930
Spotify or something.
79
00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:25.830
No thanks.
80
00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:32.800
Don't send me this again. We look really different.
81
00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:34.419
Yeah.
82
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.439
I think that's good. Change your look now and again.
83
00:03:37.469 --> 00:03:39.150
It is.
84
00:03:39.229 --> 00:03:40.810
We didn't actually hear from that lady, did we?
85
00:03:41.289 --> 00:03:42.090
Oh, sorry, yeah.
86
00:03:42.229 --> 00:03:46.210
I'd misgendered her. I'm a long-term listener. You got me
87
00:03:46.250 --> 00:03:49.530
through long pram walks and rocking Amelie to sleep. Now
88
00:03:49.569 --> 00:03:51.349
I listen while cooking dinner, trying not to have a
89
00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:54.240
breakdown from having two young children who don't fucking sleep.
90
00:03:55.330 --> 00:03:58.370
Ellis six months and Amelia two. That is a, that's
91
00:03:58.430 --> 00:03:58.830
a tough.
92
00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:02.159
That is insane. So 18 month turn, 18 month gap.
93
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:02.909
Yeah.
94
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:04.000
Yeah.
95
00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:06.719
That is because my brother's got a two, nearly two.
96
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.080
She is. And they are that when the baby gets
97
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.680
to 18 months, that next two, three years, I think
98
00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.879
that is the most sort of labor intensive graft.
99
00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:17.420
Yeah.
100
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.279
I mean, just if they like, it's that bit when
101
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.879
they're mobile just before nursery and, Yeah.
102
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:25.629
You know what I mean?
103
00:04:26.470 --> 00:04:28.269
But then even if they're going nursery all week, say
104
00:04:28.470 --> 00:04:31.509
you're both full-time working, yeah? Yeah. Okay, so your child
105
00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:33.350
has to go into childcare in the week and normally
106
00:04:33.430 --> 00:04:35.189
it's like a nine to five or nine to six
107
00:04:35.310 --> 00:04:36.670
set up because you've got to get in and out
108
00:04:36.689 --> 00:04:37.069
of London.
109
00:04:37.889 --> 00:04:39.240
I think what happens.
110
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.740
There though is it makes weekends so hard because you're
111
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.699
not ready for it because basically your job at that
112
00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:47.699
stage is get them up, get them ready, drop them off,
113
00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:49.930
pick them up, get them fed, get them.
114
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.170
You're en route to something where it's like.
115
00:04:52.209 --> 00:04:55.170
Yeah. Get up, go there, get them back, go home.
116
00:04:55.389 --> 00:04:58.389
Whereas at the weekend, it's just like two days of
117
00:04:58.410 --> 00:05:01.009
full throttle. And then the worst part of that is
118
00:05:01.569 --> 00:05:05.769
when they go to school, they finish at three. Yeah.
119
00:05:05.790 --> 00:05:07.470
So you actually take a step back. But then they're
120
00:05:07.529 --> 00:05:08.470
so much easier.
121
00:05:09.370 --> 00:05:09.670
True.
122
00:05:10.350 --> 00:05:13.939
So this weekend we had... And I'll talk about this.
123
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.740
My daughter had her first sleepover.
124
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:18.639
Oh, nice.
125
00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:19.399
But.
126
00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:22.360
That's just flagged in my head.
127
00:05:22.819 --> 00:05:26.019
So her friend, who's seven as well, they're born on
128
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:31.060
the same day, actually. And she came around, Kate, her mum,
129
00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:33.120
with my daughter's friend.
130
00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:33.519
Yeah.
131
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.980
And John, the dad, we were like, oh, where's John?
132
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.720
And he'd taken, they've got an 18-month-old, maybe two.
133
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.180
Maybe not two, 18 months. And it was freezing.
134
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.250
And he'd taken her to the park. And I just thought,
135
00:05:48.850 --> 00:05:54.399
fucking hell. Poor fucking bastard. Like, of course you've got
136
00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:58.009
to do that. She's toddling around. She'll enjoy the slide.
137
00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:01.110
But that is... You don't want to be in a park.
138
00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:02.170
Not this weekend.
139
00:06:02.290 --> 00:06:05.089
It's January or maybe... I can't even remember. Maybe the
140
00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:05.769
first of February.
141
00:06:05.810 --> 00:06:06.310
First of February.
142
00:06:06.350 --> 00:06:07.129
Fucking freezing.
143
00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:09.569
Sunday was lovely though. When the sun was out. Yeah,
144
00:06:09.589 --> 00:06:12.350
but this was on Saturday and you're just like, oh
145
00:06:12.389 --> 00:06:13.769
my God. I just.
146
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:17.660
genuinely i know this sounds much so when plymouth got
147
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.759
promoted not last season the year before we got 101
148
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.819
points it was a is our points record ever yeah
149
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.529
and if you ask me what my memories of the
150
00:06:27.589 --> 00:06:32.069
season are yeah it is being in the play park
151
00:06:32.329 --> 00:06:36.379
at victoria park And getting goal alerts on my phone
152
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.680
because for 3 p.m. kickoffs, I would always, seemingly on
153
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.279
a Saturday, be in that park with a one-and-a-half-year-old.
154
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.819
There was a time where whatever I said to you,
155
00:06:50.670 --> 00:06:51.509
two things were said.
156
00:06:52.370 --> 00:06:52.529
Yeah.
157
00:06:52.709 --> 00:06:55.389
I went to the park and roses away. There was
158
00:06:55.410 --> 00:06:57.490
a period in time. They were different times. I know,
159
00:06:57.509 --> 00:06:59.910
but in my head, if I had to like, as
160
00:06:59.949 --> 00:07:02.329
well as let me tell you this for free and that,
161
00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:05.490
you know, your little, you know, your little bookmarks. Um,
162
00:07:05.550 --> 00:07:08.750
but I'd say two of the, your biggest catchphrases from
163
00:07:08.790 --> 00:07:11.709
our interactions on this show has been roses away. That
164
00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:14.689
was a, that was a serious period. Um, and I
165
00:07:14.730 --> 00:07:18.110
went to the park and, um, the other one that's
166
00:07:18.209 --> 00:07:21.310
creeping up into third spot is, Oh, that's Adrian.
167
00:07:21.329 --> 00:07:21.410
Yeah.
168
00:07:21.949 --> 00:07:24.800
Adrian's here. Not much longer.
169
00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:29.079
I've told him this morning. We've changed our times again.
170
00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:32.160
I told him to be silent between 10 and 12.30.
171
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.230
Well, we were actually booked in 10 to 1. Yeah.
172
00:07:39.189 --> 00:07:41.649
So that's not correct.
173
00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:43.970
We both agreed that Michael said we could get hard
174
00:07:44.029 --> 00:07:47.399
out by 12.20. So if anything, I've given us a
175
00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:48.610
10-minute bath.
176
00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:53.470
Yeah, but we've always done a three-hour chunk.
177
00:07:53.670 --> 00:07:57.430
I know, but this morning I said to Adrian, I'll
178
00:07:57.449 --> 00:07:59.149
be recording from 10 till 12.30.
179
00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:01.709
Right, okay. Oh, yeah, because we moved it slightly.
180
00:08:02.029 --> 00:08:04.500
So he's being quiet. Yeah, but now we've moved it
181
00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:06.339
to 9.20. So the first 40 minutes.
182
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.040
Oh, so he's actually in his loud zone. He's in
183
00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:16.899
his loud zone at the moment, yeah. But he's only
184
00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:20.319
grouting today. Yeah, I mean, if you're loud grouting, you're
185
00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:20.740
doing it wrong.
186
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.829
I found out something about Adrian from a WhatsApp group
187
00:08:23.850 --> 00:08:25.490
that I've got with you and Lou and Rose at
188
00:08:25.529 --> 00:08:26.050
the weekend.
189
00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:28.319
Yeah, what have you found out about Adrian?
190
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.259
That he's a painter-decorator rather than a builder. I didn't
191
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:31.779
know this.
192
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.139
Yeah, because you keep calling him the builder, but Rose
193
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.039
said he's a painter. Because we need someone. So would
194
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.009
Adrian come south of the river? So Adrian, and I'm
195
00:08:40.029 --> 00:08:43.210
not going to bring this out a yay word, I'm sure. Adrian,
196
00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:43.909
he's got a car.
197
00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:46.210
I can tell you the number plate off by heart
198
00:08:46.289 --> 00:08:48.009
because I have to put it.
199
00:08:48.129 --> 00:08:51.070
Adrian, there's a little parking spot right outside my house.
200
00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:53.700
No parking, no wardens, no people. You'd love talking to him.
201
00:08:53.730 --> 00:08:55.029
It's someplace with Crystal Palace.
202
00:08:55.370 --> 00:08:56.929
Oh, does he? Yeah, you'd love that.
203
00:08:57.029 --> 00:08:59.919
Oh, he's always down south then. We do need Adrian round.
204
00:08:59.940 --> 00:09:02.600
So when Adrian's finished at yours, can he come to ours? Well,
205
00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:05.080
Adrian and I refuse to take him up on this.
206
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.759
And he keeps going. He's like, will you?
207
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:10.250
He says, when I finish here, you've got to promote
208
00:09:10.269 --> 00:09:12.929
me on your podcast. I wanted to say, Adrian, you
209
00:09:12.970 --> 00:09:15.480
don't realize how central you are to the fucking podcast, man.
210
00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:21.179
He should get some sort of writing credit for the
211
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:22.100
appearances he makes.
212
00:09:22.139 --> 00:09:26.090
He's been feeding the hamster. The fish still needs water. No, no, no,
213
00:09:26.110 --> 00:09:27.830
it's gone up. Oh, it's gone up. Sorry.
214
00:09:27.850 --> 00:09:28.590
Yeah, yeah.
215
00:09:28.649 --> 00:09:32.470
And I've bought a two-litre... Oh, it's so boring. It's
216
00:09:32.509 --> 00:09:33.429
never stopped us before.
217
00:09:33.730 --> 00:09:41.220
LAUGHTER Don't start putting in some sort of quality control
218
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:41.440
with it.
219
00:09:41.429 --> 00:09:47.620
LAUGHTER That's what Michael's for. He'll be the judge if
220
00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:48.330
it's boring or not.
221
00:09:48.789 --> 00:09:51.049
And if you are listening to this bit, then God
222
00:09:51.110 --> 00:09:52.450
knows what's on the cutting room floor.
223
00:09:52.889 --> 00:09:53.389
Do you know what?
224
00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:56.000
I listened to romesh and tom davis what's that called
225
00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:59.399
wolf and owl yeah yeah um it's really good um
226
00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:02.590
i listened because i was told that they did an
227
00:10:02.629 --> 00:10:05.649
impression of me queuing up to have sex with bonnie blue.
228
00:10:05.389 --> 00:10:10.330
Yeah yeah yeah yeah um do you know who she
229
00:10:10.370 --> 00:10:13.470
is now Yeah. It's a funny image, though, you queuing
230
00:10:13.529 --> 00:10:15.889
up to have sex with an OnlyFans model.
231
00:10:16.289 --> 00:10:16.509
Yeah.
232
00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:19.990
They talk about proper issues, Rob. Oh, do they? Yeah,
233
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:22.200
I couldn't believe my ears. I just presume they talk
234
00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:25.049
about any old shit like that. So what kind of
235
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.519
stuff are they breaking down? Well, they were talking about
236
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.460
Bonnie Blue, because it was topical. Right, yeah.
237
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:31.340
And then they were talking about a couple of other
238
00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:38.960
things that were like, not like Gaza, but like popular.
239
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.080
Culture in the news.
240
00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:40.580
Do you know what I mean? But like the issues.
241
00:10:42.009 --> 00:10:44.120
Like the kind of thing.
242
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.759
Like deep, the blue shark, the AI thing from China
243
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.940
that's been made cheaper.
244
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.980
Maybe that. It wasn't that weak.
245
00:10:50.059 --> 00:10:51.740
But like the kind of thing that would be put
246
00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:54.460
in parts two or three of The Last Leg.
247
00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:56.559
What was coming up on that? So you're saying they're
248
00:10:56.580 --> 00:11:01.299
copying The Last Leg? I'm saying they're copying Have I
249
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.870
Got News For You. Well, my notes to talk about
250
00:11:05.009 --> 00:11:11.600
are Bitsy's Horrible Histories, New Pet, Leopard Gecko, Pygmy Goat, Chinchilla. Yeah, exactly.
251
00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:14.000
They're covering none of them. Unless a leopard goat was
252
00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:15.500
in the news because it's... It's.
253
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.980
Not a leopard goat. It's a leopard gecko.
254
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.220
Leopard gecko. Unless a leopard... Sorry, I sound like an idiot.
255
00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:25.840
Unless a leopard gecko.
256
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.580
Was in the news. A leopard gecko would look... I'd
257
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:28.200
like one of them.
258
00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:31.330
I reckon they might talk about the writer's strike in Hollywood.
259
00:11:31.450 --> 00:11:32.750
There's that element of like.
260
00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:35.830
Yeah, but no. I think I'm more a leopard goat guy.
261
00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:37.850
I think if you put leopard print on a goat
262
00:11:37.889 --> 00:11:40.830
and wrote Gany on it, I reckon school mums would
263
00:11:41.009 --> 00:11:42.360
hold it under their arm in the gates.
264
00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:43.659
Do you know what?
265
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.440
I love.
266
00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.620
When's the leopard print... It's going to end because I
267
00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:49.799
do love it. I tell you what. Is it eternal?
268
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.980
When I do gigs now, every woman's in leopard print.
269
00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:57.919
It's like doing a fucking safari in Basingstown. Every woman's
270
00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:00.610
got leopard print on at some point. I did Up
271
00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:02.399
the Creek last night. It was the last ever Sunday special. Oh,
272
00:12:02.409 --> 00:12:03.970
the last ever Up the Creek Sunday special.
273
00:12:04.009 --> 00:12:05.529
How was it? Yeah, it was great.
274
00:12:05.710 --> 00:12:07.750
Well, because it's been going 20 years. I used to
275
00:12:07.809 --> 00:12:10.590
go there to watch it as a punter when I
276
00:12:10.590 --> 00:12:12.389
was like 18. Then when I was like 22, 23,
277
00:12:12.389 --> 00:12:14.590
I did my first ever gig at the Sunday special.
278
00:12:15.110 --> 00:12:18.429
So then I was the last act. Well, Kitson was
279
00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:20.350
the last act as the emcee. But yeah, I did
280
00:12:20.370 --> 00:12:22.669
the last night. Yeah, it was good, actually. But I
281
00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:24.980
went on. And I don't know. It's because I'm used
282
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.120
to doing my own show.
283
00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:27.539
It wasn't Love Leopard Print.
284
00:12:28.230 --> 00:12:28.769
What was that?
285
00:12:29.129 --> 00:12:30.870
There wasn't enough leopard print in the audio print.
286
00:12:31.129 --> 00:12:33.110
No, but I went on and because it was late,
287
00:12:33.169 --> 00:12:35.070
it was like 10, 15, I went on and normally
288
00:12:35.090 --> 00:12:36.629
I'm done by then. And I was tired and it
289
00:12:36.649 --> 00:12:39.090
was Sunday. I went on and I just felt really
290
00:12:39.169 --> 00:12:41.070
calm before I went on. When I went on, I just,
291
00:12:41.289 --> 00:12:44.259
I literally, I don't know if it's because my brain
292
00:12:44.299 --> 00:12:45.990
was thinking about the first time I ever did it.
293
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.659
I completely shat myself like I haven't done since I
294
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:53.399
started and got all nervous. I couldn't really get my words.
295
00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:55.399
And I was like watching myself going, what? what the
296
00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:58.019
hell's going on? And then I messed up a joke
297
00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.970
and tried to ride out and it was awful. I
298
00:13:00.009 --> 00:13:01.730
sort of, I sort of recovered and then by the
299
00:13:01.750 --> 00:13:03.090
end it was fine. But the first five minutes I
300
00:13:03.090 --> 00:13:05.129
was like, this is like, you know, when like you
301
00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:08.909
watch a boxer go out, he's like, well, well respected boxer,
302
00:13:08.929 --> 00:13:11.350
but the first round is get absolutely chinned immediately. And
303
00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:13.500
then they're on dodgy legs. So I was like that.
304
00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:16.799
Was it an emotional evening?
305
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:21.320
It's quite hard to do sincerity when it's me, Daniel
306
00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:24.629
Kitson and Will Briggs. None of us are the, arm
307
00:13:24.649 --> 00:13:28.470
around the shoulder sort of how you feeling guys i
308
00:13:28.509 --> 00:13:30.549
did do a your mum joke to daniel kitson though
309
00:13:31.269 --> 00:13:34.820
because he wanted to introduce me by um daniel kitson's
310
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.179
like the sort of one of the best comedians ever
311
00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:39.559
but he's very private doesn't do tv doesn't do big
312
00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:42.000
tours sort of just does whatever he wants and he
313
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.759
wanted to introduce me on stage by my tv credits
314
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.279
that no one would have heard of Yeah. And so
315
00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:49.600
he went, give me some of the more like random
316
00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:51.820
things you've done. So I gave him plastic surgery shockers
317
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:55.830
from E4 and wedding day winners with Lorraine Kelly. And
318
00:13:55.850 --> 00:13:57.450
then the other one was all together now with Ginger
319
00:13:57.470 --> 00:13:58.590
Spice and it was on stage.
320
00:13:58.799 --> 00:13:59.629
That was a big one.
321
00:13:59.909 --> 00:14:01.350
He did the first, I know, but it's funny though,
322
00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:03.490
isn't it? Just saying Ginger Spice is a punchline. And
323
00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:05.490
then it was on stage and he said, and what else,
324
00:14:05.629 --> 00:14:06.789
and what else have you been on?
325
00:14:07.169 --> 00:14:10.149
And I went, your mum. It's like, you don't get
326
00:14:10.169 --> 00:14:12.149
an open goal for your mum joke.
327
00:14:12.169 --> 00:14:14.889
Yeah. Yeah, really nice. Really nice, Rob.
328
00:14:14.929 --> 00:14:17.509
Because Kitson is the king of kind of whimsy and
329
00:14:18.009 --> 00:14:21.019
intellectual comedy. But he loves that stuff as well. And
330
00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:22.779
if he's going to let me, you'll mum him. You
331
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.139
know what I mean? And I did that.
332
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.700
What do you think of this? Because I was like, right,
333
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.100
I need to think of a joke to do at
334
00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:29.220
the end. Because it's like the end of a thing.
335
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.889
I said a couple of nice words about it. Then
336
00:14:30.909 --> 00:14:33.659
I said, oh, I'm going to do... Because I did
337
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.360
my first ever gig here. I'm going to do my
338
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.019
first ever gig I ever did on stage. Oh, wow.
339
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.379
To close the final of the gig here.
340
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:40.990
Oh, my God.
341
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.590
On the same stage. Incredible. And then I said, Russell Brand,
342
00:14:45.629 --> 00:14:47.610
Jimmy Savile, and Greg Wallace walk into a pub.
343
00:14:52.190 --> 00:14:56.960
Got to laugh and left. Well, that'll do. Oh, great days.
344
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.700
Great days. Great days. Great days. Kids, so we've got
345
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.120
stuff to talk about. I've got to talk about pets. Yeah,
346
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.750
talk to me about pets because we've had a pet
347
00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:08.269
weekend as well. Well, we had a great weekend. I
348
00:15:08.409 --> 00:15:10.950
was off this weekend apart from Sunday night. So I
349
00:15:10.990 --> 00:15:13.710
did Friday night off this weekend. I work Friday and Sunday.
350
00:15:14.190 --> 00:15:14.389
Yeah.
351
00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:20.210
Apart from getting in at 1am Friday night and then
352
00:15:20.230 --> 00:15:20.600
going out.
353
00:15:20.629 --> 00:15:23.190
It worked Friday night. I did Radio 2 and then
354
00:15:23.210 --> 00:15:25.070
I went to a gig on Sunday. But apart from that.
355
00:15:25.129 --> 00:15:28.210
Yeah, apart from that. Apart from that. It was full
356
00:15:28.230 --> 00:15:31.090
throttle family time. Yeah, yeah. But we had a good
357
00:15:31.129 --> 00:15:32.750
Saturday though. I took the girls to their clubs.
358
00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:35.879
Yeah. But then my youngest just decided she doesn't like
359
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.000
her clubs anymore. But we've signed up for the term.
360
00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:40.840
Yeah. So I sort of said, oh, she's not feeling
361
00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:41.419
it this week.
362
00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:44.080
And then basically when they're in their clubs, I go
363
00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:45.720
around Tom Allen's house and have a coffee.
364
00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:45.899
Yeah.
365
00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:48.049
Oh, so really, Rob?
366
00:15:48.950 --> 00:15:49.129
Yeah.
367
00:15:49.649 --> 00:15:52.769
That's why you're concerned about her not being into her clubs? Well, no,
368
00:15:52.789 --> 00:15:54.769
because she liked the clubs, but then I'm like, oh,
369
00:15:55.090 --> 00:15:56.850
come with me then. And then she just sat on
370
00:15:56.889 --> 00:15:59.809
my phone listening to Tom Allen, who's sort of, you know,
371
00:16:00.409 --> 00:16:02.009
me and Tom Allen chat, and it was quite a funny,
372
00:16:02.129 --> 00:16:03.299
silly conversation. Yeah, you don't need that.
373
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.960
You don't want to put those ideas in a kid's head.
374
00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:05.940
All that.
375
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.320
What, homosexuality? I didn't know you were against it.
376
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.679
Interesting, fair enough.
377
00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:15.480
Everyone's allowed their views. Separate the art from the artist.
378
00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:18.600
Yeah. Josh hates gays, but boy, is he good at
379
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.750
telling you about his week. You listen to that gay hater,
380
00:16:21.809 --> 00:16:24.509
Josh Whitaker. Yeah, I know, but, you know, I just
381
00:16:24.529 --> 00:16:25.590
want to find out. I wonder who's queuing up for
382
00:16:25.610 --> 00:16:31.720
Bonnie Blue, the fucking angry incel. This is real love, Tom.
383
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:35.879
This is natural. This is natural. Anyway.
384
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.039
Oh, so yeah.
385
00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:39.840
So the problem is she really enjoyed just going around
386
00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:41.840
Tom's house. So I think she's just going to want
387
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.740
to come around here and chat and have a warm
388
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.919
croissant with Uncle Tom and Uncle Alfie now.
389
00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:49.299
That's the problem, isn't it? Because it is. But then
390
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.500
if that's what she wants, in a weird way, that's
391
00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:55.519
a nicer childhood memory. If one of my childhood memories
392
00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:57.419
was every Saturday I went around and had a lovely
393
00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:59.440
croissant at Tom Allen and Alfie's house.
394
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.480
Yeah. That's a lovely experience isn't it yeah so i'm
395
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.400
not i'm not gonna force her to do it because
396
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.630
i've always said that like when they go you send
397
00:17:06.650 --> 00:17:08.089
them to a club right and you go do you
398
00:17:08.130 --> 00:17:10.650
like that they go yeah right and they did and
399
00:17:10.690 --> 00:17:13.529
then it's not them that's decided to pay up front
400
00:17:13.569 --> 00:17:16.390
for a term that's my decision so i don't agree
401
00:17:16.450 --> 00:17:18.269
with having to go at a kid and forcing them
402
00:17:18.289 --> 00:17:19.549
to go and do something they don't want to do
403
00:17:20.049 --> 00:17:22.269
when i actually it's a sunk cost you're not getting
404
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.299
your money back And you're not getting your money's worth
405
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:25.900
if you've just got a fed up kid. But anyway,
406
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.940
I think she was a bit unwell and tired and
407
00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:31.059
she'll get a bit bored of this set up and
408
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.539
then eventually go back. But if she doesn't, she doesn't.
409
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.759
But that was a bit like, I was tired on
410
00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:37.480
Saturday morning, like, well, no, just go in. And I
411
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.109
was like, oh, actually, I'll just take it. Tom doesn't mind.
412
00:17:39.130 --> 00:17:41.289
I'll just take it to Tom. Yeah. So, um, so
413
00:17:41.329 --> 00:17:44.329
we did that. Then we went for lunch, which was nice.
414
00:17:44.390 --> 00:17:46.430
And then we went, we went swimming. This is funny.
415
00:17:46.750 --> 00:17:48.509
Went swimming. So we had an idea. If we go
416
00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:50.509
to the gym, David Lloyd Beckham has got a soft
417
00:17:50.549 --> 00:17:52.980
play for kids and and a swimming pool and the gym.
418
00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:55.740
So I said to Lou, let's meet for lunch. You
419
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.539
take the dogs for a walk. I'll do the kids clubs.
420
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.799
Then we'll meet at the cafe. We'll have some breakfast, lunch.
421
00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:02.640
Then we'll go to the gym. You sit with the
422
00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:04.500
girls and have a coffee while they're in soft play.
423
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.839
And I'm going to go and do a 5k run
424
00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:07.059
on the treadmill. Oh, lovely.
425
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.279
Just for the listeners, Rob's act out of what a
426
00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:12.670
5K run is was absolutely off the charts.
427
00:18:13.069 --> 00:18:16.970
Just sort of me arms going up and down. And
428
00:18:17.309 --> 00:18:18.970
I said, you watch me in the soft plate.
429
00:18:19.009 --> 00:18:21.710
I'll do the run, which is about, at the moment,
430
00:18:22.150 --> 00:18:22.690
about 37.
431
00:18:22.690 --> 00:18:24.910
It took me 37 minutes.
432
00:18:24.970 --> 00:18:27.079
Okay. So it's not like the weights from there for
433
00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.640
a whole hour.
434
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.440
Yeah. Then I'll take them in the swimming pool and
435
00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:32.279
then you can either go home and chill. Or if
436
00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:34.049
you want, you can go to the gym or go
437
00:18:34.089 --> 00:18:36.289
into the, they've got like a nice spa and steam
438
00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:36.769
room thing.
439
00:18:36.970 --> 00:18:38.369
Go in there and chill for a bit. Okay.
440
00:18:38.549 --> 00:18:38.690
Yeah.
441
00:18:38.930 --> 00:18:40.869
So funny. I get in the treadmill. I am literally
442
00:18:41.490 --> 00:18:44.599
three minutes in. I can see because if I'm at
443
00:18:44.619 --> 00:18:47.099
the level up. swimming pool in the middle level down
444
00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:49.339
i can see where lou sat with the girls i
445
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.950
can see the girls marching back one's crying and one
446
00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:54.390
saying sorry i can see their mouths through the glass
447
00:18:54.930 --> 00:18:57.509
where they've had a fire and then the other one
448
00:18:57.529 --> 00:19:00.170
that's getting upset starts looking at me and starts pointing
449
00:19:00.410 --> 00:19:02.920
at her sister and they're doing a fist thing and
450
00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:05.339
miming out being punched in the head and going like
451
00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:08.099
that and then putting thumbs down across her arms lip out.
452
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:11.809
At this point, are you maintaining your pace?
453
00:19:12.789 --> 00:19:16.609
Yep, I'm maintaining my pace. I'm laughing, which is affecting pace.
454
00:19:17.150 --> 00:19:19.089
And actually, I started off really slow, so that's fine.
455
00:19:19.730 --> 00:19:21.619
But I get bored, so I was trying to increase it. Anyway,
456
00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:22.480
it's really boring.
457
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:25.279
How fast can you do a 5K run? What should.
458
00:19:26.470 --> 00:19:29.720
I like to do it in, I think 30 minutes
459
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.140
is a really nice time to do a 5K. But
460
00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:36.019
it's difficult because I don't use a treadmill, so I'm
461
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.759
not really sure. Well, I'm going to try and get
462
00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:40.119
it down to 30 minutes. It's the 10. 10, I'd say,
463
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.750
is the, I can only do it on the, you know,
464
00:19:42.750 --> 00:19:45.180
the numbers you go 10 miles an hour, that'd be
465
00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:46.940
that'd be that'd be yeah half.
466
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:49.039
An hour so i started seven and a half mile
467
00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:51.599
kilometers an hour and then increased it to see what
468
00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:53.940
i could deal with and finished on about nine i
469
00:19:54.009 --> 00:19:56.890
find 10 is the precipice of uncomfortable yeah no one
470
00:19:56.910 --> 00:20:00.549
wants to be there um you've got to be comfortable
471
00:20:00.569 --> 00:20:05.579
being uncomfortable or just always be comfortable Exactly. So I
472
00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:08.099
was running the shrimp bill and for me running is
473
00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:10.200
all psychological. My body can do it. My mind just
474
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.880
tells me I can't and I'm fighting that the whole time.
475
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.799
So that's when I first started running. I was really
476
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.519
proud of myself. I did like eight minutes nonstop and
477
00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.900
I couldn't believe I did it. And then I've built up.
478
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.779
So now I can do five Ks, which is great
479
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:21.180
because I can go to the gym and just do that.
480
00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:24.369
Whether it takes 40 minutes or 35. Anyway, it was
481
00:20:24.509 --> 00:20:26.730
amazing though. Cause I was like, normally mentally, I just
482
00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:28.529
can't deal with it. Just get off, just get off,
483
00:20:28.569 --> 00:20:30.269
just get off. But as I'm doing it, I'm looking
484
00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:31.799
down there. I'm like, I don't want to get off.
485
00:20:32.329 --> 00:20:34.529
The option is sorting that row out. Yeah.
486
00:20:34.950 --> 00:20:37.009
Watching my children argue in soft place.
487
00:20:37.390 --> 00:20:40.069
And then my daughter, I swear to God, just stared
488
00:20:40.109 --> 00:20:42.049
at me with her arms crossed looking at her watch
489
00:20:42.609 --> 00:20:44.710
for 20 minutes to go, when are we going swimming?
490
00:20:45.509 --> 00:20:47.950
But that's the only time I've ever been running and thought, actually,
491
00:20:47.970 --> 00:20:48.930
this is the better place to be.
492
00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:51.500
Do you want to know a little celebrity secret?
493
00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:54.940
Mo Farah likes to have his kids arguing just in
494
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.940
the eye shot in the stadium and it just.
495
00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:58.400
Keeps him going because he thinks.
496
00:21:00.750 --> 00:21:04.130
If I'm on the track, I'm not dealing with that shit. Well, yeah,
497
00:21:04.170 --> 00:21:06.150
sometimes I do come home. You know when you come
498
00:21:06.170 --> 00:21:08.150
home and it's just kicking off in the hours? Yeah.
499
00:21:08.349 --> 00:21:10.549
I do think I just go back out a bit.
500
00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:13.269
Just go out for a bit. Yeah. Just go and
501
00:21:13.289 --> 00:21:15.210
sit in the car, pretend I'm doing something in the car.
502
00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:17.509
What are you doing in the car?
503
00:21:18.609 --> 00:21:22.390
Sometimes I've considered holding down the windscreen washer fluid until
504
00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:24.049
it's empty so I can drive to the garage.
505
00:21:24.650 --> 00:21:26.829
Oh, yeah, nice. But then that seems a bit much,
506
00:21:26.849 --> 00:21:27.029
isn't it?
507
00:21:27.650 --> 00:21:27.910
Yeah.
508
00:21:28.650 --> 00:21:29.789
But I don't want to lie.
509
00:21:29.990 --> 00:21:33.170
Because to be brutally honest, Rob, and I include neither
510
00:21:33.190 --> 00:21:38.349
of us in this, a regular man with two kids
511
00:21:39.109 --> 00:21:41.190
would be able to refill the windscreen washer.
512
00:21:41.589 --> 00:21:43.369
He wouldn't have to go to a garage. No, to
513
00:21:43.430 --> 00:21:43.970
buy some.
514
00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:44.930
Oh, right.
515
00:21:45.130 --> 00:21:45.869
I can do that.
516
00:21:46.329 --> 00:21:47.369
Okay. Come on.
517
00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:50.430
You didn't think I needed to go to the quick fit.
518
00:21:51.150 --> 00:21:51.519
Right, lads.
519
00:21:52.890 --> 00:21:53.059
Now.
520
00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:55.640
I know you like to fit quick. This is probably
521
00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:57.559
the quickest quick you could have a quick fit. Fit quick.
522
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:02.200
Fill that up. I still don't know what kind of concentrate.
523
00:22:02.269 --> 00:22:03.789
I'd do it the same as I'd do orange squash.
524
00:22:03.809 --> 00:22:04.730
I don't know if that's right or not.
525
00:22:05.470 --> 00:22:07.009
Yeah, as long as you're not using orange squash.
526
00:22:07.069 --> 00:22:10.410
I actually did use orange squash. I used a fruit
527
00:22:10.450 --> 00:22:12.630
shoot this morning to defrost my whiskey. Did you?
528
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:13.750
Is that warm enough?
529
00:22:14.109 --> 00:22:17.670
Well, it was completely frozen, but it was warm enough
530
00:22:17.890 --> 00:22:21.349
in the car to just take the edge off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
531
00:22:21.430 --> 00:22:24.589
And then I drove with both windows down on either
532
00:22:24.630 --> 00:22:26.109
side of me because I couldn't clear that.
533
00:22:26.349 --> 00:22:29.150
So I was just cold. Quick question. Talk to me
534
00:22:29.170 --> 00:22:30.210
about animals. Animals.
535
00:22:30.299 --> 00:22:32.980
Okay. So my mum and dad picked up my children
536
00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:35.640
from school on Friday and took my youngest to a
537
00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:37.519
pet shop to kill some time to wait for the
538
00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:38.299
eldest to come out.
539
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:40.339
Is this why you texted me asking if I hated
540
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.079
having a hamster?
541
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:41.640
Yes.
542
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.160
So basically she really wanted a hamster. Okay.
543
00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:46.160
And would ring me up and go, I want a hamster.
544
00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:47.980
I want a pet. I just want a pet I
545
00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:50.240
can hold. I really want a pet that can sit
546
00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:53.319
on my shoulder, she said. This is what she's obsessed
547
00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:54.359
with having a little pet. A parrot?
548
00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:57.380
Well, yeah, but not a parrot, but like a little friend.
549
00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:59.789
I think, you know, like in cartoons sometimes I have
550
00:22:59.809 --> 00:23:01.130
little mates that sit on their shoulders.
551
00:23:01.569 --> 00:23:04.799
She wants that. Yeah, like Ratatouille.
552
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.420
Yeah, like Ratatouille. So I was like, oh, Lou doesn't
553
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.059
really want a hamster. We can't really have a hamster
554
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.650
downstairs because it's not fair because they're dogs. They'll just
555
00:23:12.690 --> 00:23:14.630
be sniffing at it, trying to eat it. Yeah.
556
00:23:14.849 --> 00:23:16.410
And we don't really want it upstairs because it will
557
00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:18.549
keep everyone awake at night. I don't want to call
558
00:23:18.970 --> 00:23:20.009
my cat thick.
559
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:23.609
Hmm. But I don't think Beryl has even noticed we've
560
00:23:23.630 --> 00:23:25.519
got a hamster in the house. I'd say a cat
561
00:23:25.539 --> 00:23:27.299
that needs to go to the vet every six weeks
562
00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:30.440
to have its... Three months, thank you very much. Three
563
00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:32.980
months to have its kidneys flushed is a stage of
564
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.140
life where a hamster don't excite her anymore.
565
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:37.559
Yeah.
566
00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:38.079
You know what I mean?
567
00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:38.579
Yeah.
568
00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:40.529
You could get the chipping downs in front of my nan,
569
00:23:40.549 --> 00:23:44.279
she probably won't look up from the chase. LAUGHTER um
570
00:23:45.029 --> 00:23:47.829
so yeah so we were looking and then there was
571
00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:51.089
like options so basically she's desperate to have a pet
572
00:23:51.109 --> 00:23:52.910
and then the problem is me and lou are such
573
00:23:53.210 --> 00:23:56.329
like impulsive decision makers and then we get overexcited and
574
00:23:56.349 --> 00:23:58.450
we're like no she doesn't need a pet crocodile no
575
00:23:58.549 --> 00:24:00.710
no we haven't bought anything we've got two dogs they
576
00:24:00.730 --> 00:24:02.650
don't need a pet but like she doesn't she is
577
00:24:02.910 --> 00:24:05.700
to be fair she's obsessed with animals all she reads
578
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.000
is like fax books about animals you know you see
579
00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:12.289
like the younger one She's seven, so she's obsessed, like,
580
00:24:12.349 --> 00:24:15.700
knows every fact. All she cares about is animals. So we're, like,
581
00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:18.299
going through it all. And then, like, we've done a hamster,
582
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.160
and then there was, like, get... Didn't say you did.
583
00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:25.980
Leopard geckos are an option. She really wants a lizard.
584
00:24:26.049 --> 00:24:30.089
I'm hoping that that's more of a gecko than a leopard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
585
00:24:30.130 --> 00:24:35.089
It's definitely more lizard. And then we were like, oh, well,
586
00:24:35.109 --> 00:24:36.849
we'll have a look in it and see what's what.
587
00:24:37.109 --> 00:24:41.049
My mate had a terrapin when I was a... teenager
588
00:24:41.549 --> 00:24:45.109
yeah she wants that on her shoulder it looks quite
589
00:24:45.349 --> 00:24:49.450
like her angry horrible dinosaur yeah she's quite into that
590
00:24:49.470 --> 00:24:51.569
actually she went I want to be and then she
591
00:24:51.589 --> 00:24:52.869
was like I want to be the girl that's got
592
00:24:52.890 --> 00:24:54.450
a lizard on her shoulder and I looked at her
593
00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:56.549
and I was like you are the kind of girl.
594
00:24:57.019 --> 00:24:57.980
She is the kind of girl that would have a
595
00:24:57.980 --> 00:25:00.720
lizard on her shoulder turning up to the Met Gala.
596
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.859
I mean that thing where I'm just like it is
597
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.539
more hassle they live 10 to 15 years which is
598
00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:11.960
way too long what do they eat live crickets Fucking Nora.
599
00:25:12.549 --> 00:25:12.789
I know.
600
00:25:12.849 --> 00:25:14.619
You can only get live cricket on Sky these days.
601
00:25:16.670 --> 00:25:18.289
What about the test match special on the radio?
602
00:25:18.309 --> 00:25:24.289
But I'm like, one, it's more hassle and a pain
603
00:25:24.309 --> 00:25:26.529
in the arse having another animal in the house. Two,
604
00:25:26.809 --> 00:25:30.410
they're only little ones. It'll be fun. Stop looking at
605
00:25:30.430 --> 00:25:32.029
all the negatives. But then you have got a lizard
606
00:25:32.049 --> 00:25:34.049
in your house that could live to 15. And your
607
00:25:34.130 --> 00:25:34.970
daughter's six?
608
00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:35.130
Seven.
609
00:25:37.710 --> 00:25:39.900
So she could be at uni and I'm still cleaning
610
00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:40.579
out a lizard's ass.
611
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.160
You're going to have a lizard on your shoulder when
612
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.940
she's away at fucking, you know, Leeds University.
613
00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:46.680
What's wrong with him.
614
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:48.880
When he's got a lizard on his shoulder, he has?
615
00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:52.230
But yeah, but I was looking at it, but also
616
00:25:52.329 --> 00:25:54.630
lizards do have salmonella. Like an egg?
617
00:25:55.009 --> 00:25:57.950
Well, they can carry salmonella. What does that mean? I
618
00:25:58.009 --> 00:26:01.490
only know salmonella in the context of eggs when we
619
00:26:01.509 --> 00:26:02.029
were a kid.
620
00:26:02.049 --> 00:26:05.000
So you can get salmonella in like chicken and eggs
621
00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:08.480
and meat if there's bacteria in it, if stuff's dirty.
622
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.420
She's not going to eat it.
623
00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:12.200
Yeah, no, but from handling it. So then Lou went,
624
00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.880
what about if we get two goats?
625
00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:16.759
What? Exactly. But the thing is, I don't want any
626
00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:18.960
more animals. Is she the old lady that swallowed the fly?
627
00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:19.660
What's going on?
628
00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:22.440
So because we've got like a little, we've got enough space,
629
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:24.759
a little like paddocky field thing that we could have
630
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.960
two pygmy goats in.
631
00:26:26.349 --> 00:26:28.750
You're not getting that on your shoulder. Exactly.
632
00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:32.259
So my argument is they'll get the... Pygmy goat.
633
00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:32.920
So.
634
00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:36.859
How are you spelling that? I can't spell pygmy.
635
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:38.990
They are small and cute, aren't they?
636
00:26:39.049 --> 00:26:40.609
Or is that them fully grown?
637
00:26:40.910 --> 00:26:42.769
They're like, yeah, they are quite small, fully grown.
638
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:46.160
Yeah. So we thought that might be a fun little
639
00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:48.150
thing to have and we're in the countryside and a
640
00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:50.289
bit like, and then it's not in the house. And
641
00:26:50.329 --> 00:26:53.869
also there's loads of farmers and people nearby that if
642
00:26:53.910 --> 00:26:56.789
we said, could you come in and do all, because
643
00:26:56.809 --> 00:27:00.349
when we're, look, I can't get in from the oven
644
00:27:00.410 --> 00:27:02.210
at 1am and then get up and fucking clean out
645
00:27:02.230 --> 00:27:04.279
the goats. I'll be doing it. So if there's someone
646
00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:05.470
that's- How often are you mucking out?
647
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.420
Mucking out's the word, Rob. Mucking out a goat.
648
00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:13.480
I haven't got- The bandwidth for time to clean salmonella
649
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:17.019
off a lizard and muck out a goat. So I thought, actually,
650
00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:18.809
if you've got a couple of goats, there must be
651
00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:22.289
someone in the village who's got like an 18-year-old and
652
00:27:22.490 --> 00:27:25.869
a 16-year-old son that I can pay them to part-time
653
00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:26.809
look after these goats.
654
00:27:27.430 --> 00:27:29.730
If we get old goats, they'll die. I could always
655
00:27:29.750 --> 00:27:30.829
speak to the local farm goat.
656
00:27:30.869 --> 00:27:32.799
You only need to muck it out once a week
657
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.759
or every fortnight, according to AI.
658
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:36.700
Right.
659
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.089
So can AI do it for me? Well, not really.
660
00:27:42.269 --> 00:27:44.569
Give it a year. But then I thought, options are,
661
00:27:44.589 --> 00:27:47.220
so these are options. We get a couple of old
662
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:50.119
goats or borrow some goats from a farmer and say,
663
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.980
can we borrow a couple of goats for our field
664
00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:52.359
for a bit?
665
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.400
What, in the hope that she... They're not that expensive,
666
00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:56.759
are they?
667
00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:59.460
Well, no, but if we borrow... No, they're not, but
668
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:00.980
I don't want the responsibility of having a goat for
669
00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:04.410
15 years. Does every animal live to 15? No, but
670
00:28:04.450 --> 00:28:08.089
goats are 10 to 15. I mean, my daughter has done...
671
00:28:08.329 --> 00:28:12.529
We had an 8.30am family meeting with a PowerPoint presentation
672
00:28:12.569 --> 00:28:16.140
of the pros and cons. What are the cons? Salmonella.
673
00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.759
Yeah, 10 to 15 years.
674
00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
675
00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:20.279
Shitting through the eye of a needle who did the
676
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:21.920
powerpoint your daughter.
677
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:23.799
Yeah oh no she's got like a chromebook thing so
678
00:28:23.819 --> 00:28:26.160
she's been googling all the information so i think we're
679
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:28.039
down to she wanted to chinchilla but i think the
680
00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:30.079
chinchilla's hard work that is so.
681
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.000
Let me tell you about the hamster because we've had
682
00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:34.099
a hamster weekend.
683
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.039
So but can i say every time we say oh
684
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:37.839
but if we do that like it's like that every
685
00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:40.359
time we say the negative my daughter shouts why is
686
00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:43.440
everyone trying to ruin my life what's her sister's take
687
00:28:43.529 --> 00:28:47.349
on it Quite unplussed, really, but would want to name
688
00:28:47.430 --> 00:28:49.049
one of the goats if you've got two goats, because
689
00:28:49.069 --> 00:28:50.109
you have to get two goats.
690
00:28:50.190 --> 00:28:53.730
You're getting two goats, by the way. I've heard this
691
00:28:53.769 --> 00:28:55.519
tone before about the extra dog.
692
00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:58.220
I'm too weak.
693
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.779
That's what I am. So I'll tell you what our
694
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:02.579
options are, if you can then tell us about Hamster.
695
00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:04.339
Can I just say now, can I just come to
696
00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:09.470
your defence? Yeah, thank you. Finally, thank you. You're not weak.
697
00:29:09.609 --> 00:29:09.849
Thank you.
698
00:29:09.869 --> 00:29:12.650
You are someone that loves his daughter and wants her
699
00:29:12.730 --> 00:29:15.490
to experience the things that she really wants.
700
00:29:15.630 --> 00:29:17.089
And it's a really positive thing.
701
00:29:17.650 --> 00:29:20.299
And if you were to block her having, you know,
702
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:22.140
whatever she gets, she's eventually getting a horse.
703
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:22.640
We know that.
704
00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.759
But for now, two.
705
00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.799
Goes, right?
706
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:28.220
Then you're doing that for no real reason other than...
707
00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:29.950
Because it is... You can afford it.
708
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.619
You can.
709
00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:32.029
You have got the space for it.
710
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:32.680
And so.
711
00:29:33.809 --> 00:29:35.650
you might as well do it because it's a nice
712
00:29:35.690 --> 00:29:37.750
thing to do for your kids. The only problem is
713
00:29:38.430 --> 00:29:40.740
when both your daughters are at uni and you and
714
00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:42.339
Lou want to go traveling around the world, you're going
715
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.079
to have to deal with the fact there's two pygmy goats.
716
00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:50.039
That is, it's the commitment. So my, my, my idea is.
717
00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:52.000
You needed to do this three years ago.
718
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:52.940
Yes.
719
00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:55.180
But we've, what we're going to do is we're going
720
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.019
to put, we've put a buffer.
721
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:56.740
Buy an older goat.
722
00:29:57.410 --> 00:30:00.170
Thank you. So we've got a buffer, right, where we've said, okay,
723
00:30:00.380 --> 00:30:01.859
in order to do this, we need to do proper,
724
00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:05.059
proper research because we got the second dog. We shouldn't
725
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:06.980
have got the second dog. And I said, let's not
726
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.259
get angry about having the second dog. Just whenever we
727
00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:11.859
see that dog, you look at the dog, George, and
728
00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:15.470
just think that is living proof that we need to
729
00:30:15.529 --> 00:30:16.809
think through decisions more.
730
00:30:17.069 --> 00:30:18.869
I thought you were going to say something nice then, like.
731
00:30:19.490 --> 00:30:21.670
Look at him in his eyes and think... There's.
732
00:30:21.589 --> 00:30:22.549
Nothing in his eyes.
733
00:30:22.569 --> 00:30:26.059
I thought you were going to say, he's bringing love
734
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:27.799
into the household and that's a great thing.
735
00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:29.180
The first dog is, Fred does.
736
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.390
You were saying, let's look at George and stare him
737
00:30:33.430 --> 00:30:35.569
down and think you were a mistake we shouldn't have
738
00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:37.130
made and we need to learn from you.
739
00:30:37.390 --> 00:30:38.289
Yes, that's correct.
740
00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:44.000
I like having George in the house, but I wouldn't,
741
00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:46.150
I'd say if we sat him down, if he was
742
00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:48.589
an employee, we'd sit him down and do his appraisal
743
00:30:48.670 --> 00:30:52.329
and he would not be bringing enough to justify the
744
00:30:52.369 --> 00:30:54.069
cost of him being in the business.
745
00:30:54.390 --> 00:30:55.769
He has got vacant eyes, Josh.
746
00:30:56.130 --> 00:30:56.349
Yeah.
747
00:30:56.450 --> 00:30:58.630
He will stare through. Fred, lovely little eyes.
748
00:30:59.130 --> 00:31:01.119
And, you know, and I do, I take him for walks,
749
00:31:01.130 --> 00:31:03.619
they're a laugh, but sometimes in the house, he looks
750
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.109
through me. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so plan is we've put
751
00:31:07.130 --> 00:31:09.630
a buffer in place where we're going to, you know,
752
00:31:09.829 --> 00:31:12.470
there's a reptile man person that comes around with all
753
00:31:12.490 --> 00:31:17.240
these different reptiles and he does reptile parties and also one-on-ones.
754
00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:17.579
Right.
755
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:18.880
So we thought, why don't we do this? It'll be
756
00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.880
a fun thing to do in half term. I think
757
00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:21.279
he was killed by a stingray about 20 years ago.
758
00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:25.859
In half term, maybe why don't we get them with
759
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.220
a couple of mates or just them and we'll have
760
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:28.779
a fun afternoon. Rather than going out for the day,
761
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:30.119
we get the reptile man to come around to show
762
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.440
us all these animals, show us a leopard gecko because
763
00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:35.119
she's never actually seen one. And he can talk us
764
00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:37.240
through the pros and cons and what we need to
765
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.980
have these animals. Right? And then we'll go from there
766
00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:42.940
and talk about Salmonella with him. And then also, which
767
00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:45.009
I think is a better option, maybe we'll go to
768
00:31:45.049 --> 00:31:46.849
the farm and I'll talk to the farmer and say, look, mate,
769
00:31:46.950 --> 00:31:48.490
I just need a couple of your old little pygmy
770
00:31:48.509 --> 00:31:49.569
goats that ain't.
771
00:31:49.450 --> 00:31:51.130
Got long left. We'll look after them.
772
00:31:51.369 --> 00:31:53.230
I'll pay you or whoever your farm person is to
773
00:31:53.269 --> 00:31:55.150
come over to ours, which is only a five-minute walk away.
774
00:31:55.710 --> 00:31:57.269
Do you know once a week, though? I clean the
775
00:31:57.289 --> 00:32:01.160
hamster out once a week. Exactly. But I think you
776
00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:02.500
don't have to do it at 1 a.m.
777
00:32:02.539 --> 00:32:04.259
When you get back from Yeovil. No, but I don't
778
00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:06.420
know what I'm looking at with goats, Josh. I grew
779
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.109
up in South East. I don't want to look at
780
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:09.869
a pygmy goat who's got a weepy eye. And I'm like,
781
00:32:09.890 --> 00:32:10.140
fuck it.
782
00:32:10.150 --> 00:32:10.650
What am I doing now?
783
00:32:10.730 --> 00:32:10.970
All right.
784
00:32:11.549 --> 00:32:12.769
No, no, that's not mucking out.
785
00:32:12.809 --> 00:32:14.589
What I mean is you've just got to shovel the shit,
786
00:32:14.609 --> 00:32:16.349
haven't you? I don't want to shovel the shit. I
787
00:32:16.349 --> 00:32:18.069
shovel the shit enough. I used to sell bags of
788
00:32:18.089 --> 00:32:19.349
fucking compost in a market. You were shoveling the shit
789
00:32:19.369 --> 00:32:23.950
in Basingstoke on Thursday night, weren't you? My job's shoveling shit, mate.
790
00:32:24.579 --> 00:32:29.009
I'm picking up enough shittiness from the dogs. So that's
791
00:32:29.029 --> 00:32:31.690
the plan of action. But I think old pygmy goats
792
00:32:31.730 --> 00:32:33.710
that we can borrow, I say, I'll rent them off you.
793
00:32:33.950 --> 00:32:36.369
I just don't want a goat from a baby for
794
00:32:36.369 --> 00:32:39.470
15 years. Yeah, but they are cutest as a baby.
795
00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:43.849
I think, give us two goats that have just had babies. Yeah.
796
00:32:44.289 --> 00:32:46.869
We have four in a field. When the babies get big,
797
00:32:47.329 --> 00:32:48.289
they go back to the farm.
798
00:32:48.990 --> 00:32:51.769
That's what I mean. Like they would naturally separate them.
799
00:32:52.990 --> 00:32:54.950
It's not happening. Well, that's what I'm going to tell
800
00:32:54.970 --> 00:32:56.829
the children is happening. And then we keep these little
801
00:32:56.849 --> 00:32:59.170
old fuckers until they die. We keep the two that
802
00:32:59.210 --> 00:33:03.910
the kids aren't into. Yeah, the bitey, horny ones. I'm
803
00:33:03.950 --> 00:33:06.730
going to say I just buy two older goats. I
804
00:33:06.809 --> 00:33:08.410
don't think the best idea.
805
00:33:09.170 --> 00:33:12.589
That's like saying we're going to sign four players, the
806
00:33:12.650 --> 00:33:15.630
two good ones on loan, right?
807
00:33:15.710 --> 00:33:18.359
And then they're going to go back in January and
808
00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:20.160
the fans are going to have to put up with
809
00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:25.319
the two old shit strikers. Can we stop talking about Plymouth?
810
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:27.579
I must be able to re-home a goat.
811
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:31.299
Yeah, you must be able to re-home a goat. Right.
812
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:32.740
Shall I tell you about a hamster?
813
00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.119
Yeah.
814
00:33:34.509 --> 00:33:38.670
It's an animal special. It is an animal special. But
815
00:33:38.730 --> 00:33:40.750
you know what? Sorry, I'm dominating this thing. But you
816
00:33:40.769 --> 00:33:43.369
know what I mean? I want to be open and go,
817
00:33:43.390 --> 00:33:45.329
this is fun. We live in the countryside. Just a
818
00:33:45.390 --> 00:33:45.910
couple of goats.
819
00:33:45.930 --> 00:33:47.009
We've got space. We've got money.
820
00:33:47.049 --> 00:33:48.670
Get us ready for the horse. We can do that.
821
00:33:48.690 --> 00:33:51.930
We're not getting a horse. That'll be a fun thing
822
00:33:51.970 --> 00:33:54.799
to do if we do it. But we just need
823
00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:58.539
to research it properly and do it properly rather than
824
00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:59.880
rushing into it like I normally do.
825
00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:00.569
This is.
826
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:04.170
Can I put up the case for the opposite side?
827
00:34:04.769 --> 00:34:07.309
What's the opposite side? For the last 10 years.
828
00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:07.990
Yeah.
829
00:34:08.590 --> 00:34:09.449
Since I've known you.
830
00:34:09.469 --> 00:34:15.079
And you've been proven right, you've told me that everything
831
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:18.559
that is good that you've done is without thought.
832
00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:25.329
Yeah. And every mistake you made is because you've overthought stuff.
833
00:34:25.429 --> 00:34:25.590
Yeah.
834
00:34:25.829 --> 00:34:30.670
And actually overthinking stuff is a problem for you with
835
00:34:30.690 --> 00:34:31.650
your ADHD.
836
00:34:31.889 --> 00:34:32.090
Yeah.
837
00:34:32.630 --> 00:34:35.710
And so consequently.
838
00:34:35.809 --> 00:34:37.610
So you think I should, should I just order the
839
00:34:37.630 --> 00:34:38.030
goats now?
840
00:34:38.949 --> 00:34:41.110
Order the goats now while I answer the door. That
841
00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:44.519
would be so irresponsible. Chris Packham would do an Instagram
842
00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:44.900
story if.
843
00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:45.280
I did that.
844
00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:45.780
Get him on.
845
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:47.179
I'd love to have Chris Packham on there.
846
00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:48.420
Get a little goat box.
847
00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:50.539
It would be fun having little stables for the goats.
848
00:34:51.449 --> 00:34:52.909
I think I'm into getting some goats, you know. Do
849
00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:54.530
you know what we're going to end up with? Two
850
00:34:54.550 --> 00:34:55.550
goats and a leopard gecko.
851
00:34:56.250 --> 00:34:58.750
Exactly. Oh, a Mandarin duck pair, 90 quid.
852
00:34:58.869 --> 00:35:00.269
Hello? Have you seen a Mandarin duck?
853
00:35:00.289 --> 00:35:01.969
Oh, my word. You're going to be like Dr. Doolittle
854
00:35:01.989 --> 00:35:03.889
by the end.
855
00:35:05.389 --> 00:35:07.989
Of the year. Oh, my God.
856
00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:10.639
I should not be allowed the internet and access to
857
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.239
adult money.
858
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:14.059
No, exactly. Oh, I've had a nightmare with that, by
859
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:15.460
the way. What, the internet?
860
00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:19.780
So, the hamster. My daughter's got incredibly confident with the
861
00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:20.360
hamster now.
862
00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:21.099
Okay.
863
00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:24.969
Because when we got it, we had this two-month period
864
00:35:24.989 --> 00:35:27.530
where we basically weren't in the house. So me and
865
00:35:27.570 --> 00:35:29.550
Rose were like, is he going to get handled enough
866
00:35:29.610 --> 00:35:31.159
early doors or is he going to be a bit...
867
00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:31.840
Do you know what I mean?
868
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.159
But she's made up for lost time. So she started.
869
00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:37.780
They told us to start in the bath so that
870
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:40.579
you can confidently handle them with no water. So she
871
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.699
was in the bath in gloves. Then she lost the gloves.
872
00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:44.429
And now she's out of the bath and she's handling
873
00:35:44.449 --> 00:35:45.250
him in the bedroom.
874
00:35:46.210 --> 00:35:47.650
I do worry....
875
00:35:48.889 --> 00:35:53.090
Are hamsters enjoying being handled? Handling him in the... We
876
00:35:53.110 --> 00:35:57.699
said handling, so handling him in the bedroom. Sorry, yeah, that's...
877
00:35:57.989 --> 00:36:00.719
Horrible turn of phrase. So, I just want to check
878
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.599
hamsters enjoying that is the first thing.
879
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:03.460
Because you are like.
880
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.539
They haven't got much say in it, have they? But
881
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.940
then he's not nipping her or... But I don't know
882
00:36:09.219 --> 00:36:11.320
how to know about hamsters' emotions.
883
00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:11.960
I think.
884
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:16.300
With a hamster, if that's all they've ever known, because
885
00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:20.969
you've not taken it from the wild, it's been born
886
00:36:20.989 --> 00:36:23.389
into captivity and you've been handling it, it just assumes
887
00:36:23.409 --> 00:36:24.429
that's what its life is.
888
00:36:24.909 --> 00:36:27.150
A hamster, in my experience, if it ain't happy on you.
889
00:36:27.309 --> 00:36:29.369
You know about it. Okay, that's good. It will bite.
890
00:36:29.550 --> 00:36:31.030
If it's not happy, it will bite. Then he's loving it.
891
00:36:32.449 --> 00:36:33.780
Anyway, we bought.
892
00:36:33.889 --> 00:36:35.389
Did I tell you when we bought the cage? We
893
00:36:35.409 --> 00:36:36.630
bought a new cage. Yeah.
894
00:36:36.670 --> 00:36:37.449
With tubes.
895
00:36:37.650 --> 00:36:37.869
Yeah.
896
00:36:38.510 --> 00:36:44.190
From Socrates. He's not making the money he once was.
897
00:36:44.210 --> 00:36:47.829
He's had to sell off his hamster cage.
898
00:36:48.889 --> 00:36:52.590
So, we bought a new cage with tubes.
899
00:36:52.630 --> 00:36:55.769
Yeah. He's got too big for the tubes. He got
900
00:36:55.789 --> 00:36:56.690
stuck in the tubes.
901
00:36:57.090 --> 00:36:57.909
Oh, no.
902
00:36:57.929 --> 00:37:00.130
And he just went to sleep in the tube. Oh,
903
00:37:00.190 --> 00:37:03.769
is Tim Lovejoy got any going or Helen Chamberlain? So
904
00:37:03.829 --> 00:37:05.190
he's too big for the tubes.
905
00:37:06.070 --> 00:37:08.150
So Rose had to break the tube open to get
906
00:37:08.190 --> 00:37:08.489
him out.
907
00:37:08.530 --> 00:37:09.269
Oh, that is bad.
908
00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:11.780
And now my daughter's blocked up the tubes with socks.
909
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:13.440
He'll chew through that.
910
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:17.659
Well, yeah, it's a temporary measure. I don't... Can you
911
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:22.900
get a bigger... He's not a big hamster. Like, he's not...
912
00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:25.519
Can you get a larger hamster tube?
913
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:26.889
I don't want to give him body issues. Well, what
914
00:37:26.909 --> 00:37:30.789
I'd say is you don't... Tubes are a little bit overrated. Well,
915
00:37:30.809 --> 00:37:32.030
we love it when he goes through them.
916
00:37:32.050 --> 00:37:32.519
Yeah, I know, but you do.
917
00:37:32.530 --> 00:37:34.650
But should we just get rid for him? But he's
918
00:37:34.690 --> 00:37:37.130
going through them through choice, so he must be liking them.
919
00:37:37.150 --> 00:37:39.949
Yeah, exactly. Well, if you just get a deeper... Have
920
00:37:39.969 --> 00:37:41.190
you got the deep one with the glass?
921
00:37:42.329 --> 00:37:43.329
No, I couldn't find this.
922
00:37:43.369 --> 00:37:46.389
Oh, they're so good. Because you can watch them burrow
923
00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:49.630
in the... The bottom's all glass, right? And it's really deep.
924
00:37:49.650 --> 00:37:51.199
Could you send me a link? Because we're going to
925
00:37:51.219 --> 00:37:52.860
have to get a new cage.
926
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:54.019
Yeah.
927
00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:56.260
But we want some levels, because he loves going up
928
00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:58.119
and down the levels, and he loves climbing the.
929
00:37:58.340 --> 00:38:03.409
Yeah, you can do that. Hamster cage glass. It took
930
00:38:03.429 --> 00:38:05.170
a little while to come. There's not as many, but
931
00:38:05.289 --> 00:38:08.170
you can like, you properly fill up the bottom with,
932
00:38:08.610 --> 00:38:11.599
but like people never put enough sawdust in.
933
00:38:11.610 --> 00:38:13.070
It needs to be like, when I did it, it
934
00:38:13.130 --> 00:38:14.730
was like six inches deep.
935
00:38:15.610 --> 00:38:15.789
Yeah.
936
00:38:15.889 --> 00:38:18.170
And he loves, cause then he can go through his own. Oh,
937
00:38:21.269 --> 00:38:22.389
fuck off Amazon. Sorry.
938
00:38:23.409 --> 00:38:25.420
You can go through his own. You can make his
939
00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:26.980
own little tubes. And then I put in there like
940
00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:29.730
toilet tubes for him to go through. You know, like
941
00:38:29.750 --> 00:38:30.630
kitchen roll tubes.
942
00:38:31.050 --> 00:38:31.369
Yeah.
943
00:38:31.590 --> 00:38:36.750
Yeah, we do that. So anyway, he's having the time
944
00:38:36.769 --> 00:38:37.750
of his life with that.
945
00:38:37.809 --> 00:38:39.550
He's loving life, isn't he? He's not keeping her up
946
00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:44.260
because we've got a silent wheel. Oh, interesting. So you
947
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.699
can buy a silent wheel.
948
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:48.199
Don't say this too loud because my daughter will research
949
00:38:48.219 --> 00:38:49.219
that because that's what we said.
950
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.699
So our hamster is in my daughter's room and he's
951
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.860
dead silent. And he's up at night and it's not
952
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:56.599
a problem at all.
953
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:57.480
Oh, really?
954
00:38:57.500 --> 00:38:57.579
Yeah.
955
00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:58.619
Yeah.
956
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:01.300
I mean, I think a hamster is probably the best
957
00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:03.380
bet because I don't mind cleaning out a hamster. I
958
00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:05.219
quite like building the fun little stuff for him.
959
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:06.659
Yeah, it's great.
960
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.130
It's the reason why hamsters are like the number one
961
00:39:10.170 --> 00:39:12.170
pet for like a seven, eight year old. Yeah.
962
00:39:12.250 --> 00:39:14.510
You can't fault them. You can't fault them.
963
00:39:14.750 --> 00:39:16.690
As long as you handle them with care early doors.
964
00:39:16.710 --> 00:39:17.170
They're easy.
965
00:39:17.309 --> 00:39:19.840
They take the right amount of upkeep.
966
00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:21.780
So you learn a bit about like upkeep.
967
00:39:21.820 --> 00:39:23.420
And then they can do the food and the water
968
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.099
and then she can clean it out of me every weekend.
969
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.920
Yeah, exactly.
970
00:39:27.170 --> 00:39:29.110
And you pop him in a ball while you clean
971
00:39:29.130 --> 00:39:32.679
it out yeah it's a winner rob there we go
972
00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:36.139
and they don't live for too long but if you'd
973
00:39:36.179 --> 00:39:38.219
fill that right up as well it's really cute when
974
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:39.719
you see him in the curling up in the corner
975
00:39:40.940 --> 00:39:43.039
but um plus yeah it's quite.
976
00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:45.440
Weird didn't you never have a grown-up with a hamster.
977
00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:48.860
Blue had a hamster did she when she was in
978
00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:50.659
a house share Did she?
979
00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.159
Yeah.
980
00:39:52.300 --> 00:39:54.059
Called Bob. How did that go down? Which I said
981
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:55.300
she named it after me because she was in love
982
00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:56.949
with me, but that annoys her. Oh, that's nice.
983
00:39:57.489 --> 00:40:00.090
Did you say you got a voice note from Lou? Oh, yeah.
984
00:40:00.349 --> 00:40:03.190
We've got five minutes, 20 seconds of Lou voice notes.
985
00:40:03.230 --> 00:40:04.469
Jesus Christ.
986
00:40:05.369 --> 00:40:07.429
Michael, what do you want us to do with these?
987
00:40:07.449 --> 00:40:08.889
She had a write-on with me yesterday. I don't know
988
00:40:08.909 --> 00:40:09.309
what I'd done.
989
00:40:09.489 --> 00:40:11.650
Well, she's got a write-on with you this morning. What
990
00:40:11.670 --> 00:40:11.989
have I done?
991
00:40:12.110 --> 00:40:13.639
She says sorry to Rob in advance. I'm in a
992
00:40:13.659 --> 00:40:17.440
very Monday morning mood. She's fucking livid at the moment.
993
00:40:17.780 --> 00:40:21.179
Lou sometimes, and I'm going to say this, We'll just
994
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.250
decide she's got the amp. But maybe that's not her
995
00:40:24.269 --> 00:40:28.610
deciding moment. It's her hormones. But I've learned, stay away.
996
00:40:29.369 --> 00:40:31.849
Shut up, stay away, let her ride through it. You
997
00:40:31.869 --> 00:40:34.489
know what I mean? It's just not worth it.
998
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.380
I think a good idea, Rob, would be to publicly
999
00:40:37.420 --> 00:40:38.320
blame her hormones.
1000
00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:41.119
Well, I thought that was a good thing to say.
1001
00:40:41.300 --> 00:40:44.119
Because I'm saying she's not in control of that emotion.
1002
00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:45.280
That's her body.
1003
00:40:45.469 --> 00:40:46.969
So this is going to get us into trouble.
1004
00:40:47.309 --> 00:40:47.650
What is?
1005
00:40:47.670 --> 00:40:48.469
But I'm going to say it.
1006
00:40:48.530 --> 00:40:53.389
Okay. Okay. Yeah. I know this is a mistake. Come on,
1007
00:40:53.429 --> 00:40:57.139
let's go. Let's get dangerous. Rose is a bit pre-menstrual
1008
00:40:57.159 --> 00:40:59.099
at the moment and she seems quite angry.
1009
00:40:59.119 --> 00:40:59.699
Okay.
1010
00:41:00.659 --> 00:41:03.659
And then if I call her on it, she says
1011
00:41:04.139 --> 00:41:06.019
that I'm not allowing her to express an emotion.
1012
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:09.400
See, what I do is.
1013
00:41:11.820 --> 00:41:15.349
I shouldn't call her on it, but she was incredibly angry.
1014
00:41:16.369 --> 00:41:18.010
I don't call Lou on it anymore.
1015
00:41:18.670 --> 00:41:23.349
Which stops a argument yeah i just sort of give
1016
00:41:23.389 --> 00:41:26.679
her space yeah she gives me space however what i
1017
00:41:26.739 --> 00:41:29.639
do find is if we're not having a little argument
1018
00:41:30.139 --> 00:41:34.500
lou hasn't got any release so it builds and builds
1019
00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.780
so that i have to really maintain calm really you
1020
00:41:37.860 --> 00:41:39.039
need to be a kind of.
1021
00:41:40.510 --> 00:41:43.690
A sparring partner that just gets beaten to kind of
1022
00:41:43.829 --> 00:41:45.320
help the boxer.
1023
00:41:45.469 --> 00:41:46.780
Yeah, so in a way it's sort of like, well,
1024
00:41:46.860 --> 00:41:49.800
actually I'm avoiding conflict and we're not arguing and we're
1025
00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:50.260
getting on.
1026
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.800
However, she needs to unleash. Well, I've got the voice notes.
1027
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:54.440
Okay.
1028
00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:56.360
I don't know if this is going to be in
1029
00:41:56.409 --> 00:41:59.510
time for today's record, but I just wanted a slight
1030
00:41:59.530 --> 00:42:04.489
push back while I remember on the interview you did
1031
00:42:04.510 --> 00:42:06.530
with Harry Judd and about how much people do in
1032
00:42:06.550 --> 00:42:07.090
the mornings.
1033
00:42:07.110 --> 00:42:07.230
Yeah.
1034
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.239
Rob can make his own coffee. He's a fully grown adult.
1035
00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:14.320
When he wants to come downstairs and make his coffee,
1036
00:42:14.380 --> 00:42:14.699
he can.
1037
00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:18.590
I would make him a coffee more mornings, but he
1038
00:42:18.630 --> 00:42:20.070
comes down so much after me.
1039
00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:30.199
I do come down late in the loo because I'm
1040
00:42:30.219 --> 00:42:33.780
getting showered because I'm normally taking the kids to school
1041
00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:36.539
okay so then I need to be ready to go
1042
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:38.780
and then she's doing the breakfast but I do come
1043
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:41.230
down late in the loo that is correct but sometimes
1044
00:42:41.269 --> 00:42:43.590
I've got it at 1am but carry on carry on.
1045
00:42:44.809 --> 00:42:47.170
From drinking no working.
1046
00:42:48.349 --> 00:42:51.030
I'm not walking a coffee upstairs to him.
1047
00:42:51.050 --> 00:42:52.170
I've never asked. Because.
1048
00:42:52.329 --> 00:42:53.030
Never asked for that.
1049
00:42:53.570 --> 00:42:56.969
It's not a hotel. More power to you if you
1050
00:42:57.010 --> 00:42:57.550
want to do that.
1051
00:42:57.789 --> 00:42:58.090
I don't.
1052
00:43:00.769 --> 00:43:02.510
In terms of doing stuff in the morning as well,
1053
00:43:02.530 --> 00:43:05.289
I can't really remember my pushbacks on this.
1054
00:43:05.329 --> 00:43:08.710
Can you pause it a second? She's got the ump.
1055
00:43:09.230 --> 00:43:12.429
And because I'm not biting at home, she's found me
1056
00:43:12.469 --> 00:43:14.030
another way. She is like.
1057
00:43:14.369 --> 00:43:14.809
She's like.
1058
00:43:16.010 --> 00:43:16.909
No, I can't.
1059
00:43:16.929 --> 00:43:17.449
No, I can't.
1060
00:43:21.019 --> 00:43:21.920
This is mental.
1061
00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:22.929
Go on, go on, play it.
1062
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:28.519
But Rob genuinely said the other day, I didn't.
1063
00:43:28.019 --> 00:43:30.239
Realise your alarm went off so much earlier than mine.
1064
00:43:32.409 --> 00:43:33.449
What do you think is happening?
1065
00:43:33.730 --> 00:43:36.590
When you wake up 10 minutes before we've got to leave,
1066
00:43:36.630 --> 00:43:38.610
or when you come downstairs 10 minutes before you've got
1067
00:43:38.630 --> 00:43:41.030
to leave for the school run, and everyone has already
1068
00:43:41.050 --> 00:43:45.210
had breakfast, is dressed, and the bags are packed, do
1069
00:43:45.230 --> 00:43:48.929
you think we've all got up Ten minutes before that time.
1070
00:43:48.949 --> 00:43:50.889
How do you feel about that, Rob?
1071
00:43:51.550 --> 00:43:54.880
Look, I get up later than Lou because normally Lou
1072
00:43:55.019 --> 00:43:57.280
is doing the breakfast and sorting out the bows for
1073
00:43:57.300 --> 00:44:00.920
the kids. So what time are the two alarms set for? Well,
1074
00:44:00.940 --> 00:44:01.820
my alarm this morning was set for.
1075
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:03.920
We don't have alarms because... Mate, my alarm this morning
1076
00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:06.579
was set for ten past six. What? I can't get
1077
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:07.460
up much fucking earlier.
1078
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:11.219
Who are you? Nick Grimshaw? Lou loves getting up early.
1079
00:44:11.389 --> 00:44:13.789
And also, Lou will be up anyway, body clock. And also,
1080
00:44:13.829 --> 00:44:15.030
sometimes will have been in bed two.
1081
00:44:14.949 --> 00:44:20.889
Hours earlier than me. And I literally can't compete with
1082
00:44:20.929 --> 00:44:23.489
how early she gets up. So it's like, is she
1083
00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:24.710
part of the 5 a.m. club?
1084
00:44:25.230 --> 00:44:28.550
But not by choice. She's just up early. But she
1085
00:44:28.590 --> 00:44:33.190
gets up, I think. Now, this is going to cause eruptions.
1086
00:44:34.150 --> 00:44:35.869
I think she gets up too early. I think she
1087
00:44:35.889 --> 00:44:38.869
could get up later if she wanted to. Oh, my God.
1088
00:44:38.989 --> 00:44:43.869
That's my view. Next Monday is going to be absolute
1089
00:44:43.909 --> 00:44:45.280
carnage on this podcast.
1090
00:44:46.050 --> 00:44:50.679
Or perhaps someone's got up earlier and has done all
1091
00:44:50.699 --> 00:44:55.460
of those things. And I'm not better in the morning.
1092
00:44:55.880 --> 00:44:57.309
Just somebody has to get up.
1093
00:44:57.989 --> 00:45:00.610
In the morning oh preach.
1094
00:45:00.309 --> 00:45:02.369
No one's like good in the morning no one loves
1095
00:45:02.409 --> 00:45:05.230
getting up at half past five six o'clock getting two
1096
00:45:05.710 --> 00:45:09.010
grumpy children out of bed and dressed but somebody has
1097
00:45:09.050 --> 00:45:11.349
to do it and if you're not doing it which
1098
00:45:11.369 --> 00:45:13.110
you're not because you're not setting your arm to do
1099
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.579
it and you're not getting up you're kind of strolling
1100
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.900
downstairs and being surprised that everyone's dressed and then I
1101
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.139
miffed that there isn't a coffee there waiting for you.
1102
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:26.900
Somebody has to do it, so I do it, which
1103
00:45:27.980 --> 00:45:31.539
I don't normally have a problem with because I'm not
1104
00:45:31.579 --> 00:45:34.340
going out to work late at night, so it makes
1105
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:36.010
much more sense for the person that's gone to bed
1106
00:45:36.050 --> 00:45:37.760
at 10 to get up and get them ready for
1107
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.130
school than the person that got in at midnight or 1am.
1108
00:45:40.369 --> 00:45:41.110
Absolutely fine.
1109
00:45:41.130 --> 00:45:41.730
Thank you, respect.
1110
00:45:42.630 --> 00:45:45.929
But say that, say I get in very late at night,
1111
00:45:46.699 --> 00:45:48.449
Lou gets up early in the morning and that's the
1112
00:45:48.469 --> 00:45:51.510
way we split it. Don't go, Lou's just so much
1113
00:45:51.570 --> 00:45:52.769
better in the mornings than me.
1114
00:45:52.929 --> 00:45:56.139
I'm better in the mornings. Somebody has to do it.
1115
00:45:56.389 --> 00:46:00.210
Nobody likes doing the 6am getting grumpy children dress shift.
1116
00:46:00.659 --> 00:46:03.440
Nobody likes it. What time do you have to leave
1117
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:05.699
the house? It changes.
1118
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:09.739
It depends really, but about like sort of half seven,
1119
00:46:09.739 --> 00:46:12.380
20 to eight or yeah. And then later in the
1120
00:46:12.420 --> 00:46:14.530
week it can be like 10 to eight, but from
1121
00:46:14.550 --> 00:46:18.070
half seven onwards. Yeah, that is an early leaving, isn't it?
1122
00:46:18.489 --> 00:46:20.889
Because we don't have to set the alarm because basically
1123
00:46:20.969 --> 00:46:22.590
our son gets up at about seven.
1124
00:46:23.230 --> 00:46:23.369
Yeah.
1125
00:46:23.389 --> 00:46:25.630
And we don't have to leave until 8.45. But the
1126
00:46:25.849 --> 00:46:27.070
kids eat quite slowly.
1127
00:46:27.090 --> 00:46:28.230
Yeah.
1128
00:46:28.289 --> 00:46:30.190
And it's a bit of a slow morning. But I
1129
00:46:30.210 --> 00:46:31.650
never complained about not getting a coffee.
1130
00:46:31.670 --> 00:46:32.269
But that's the same amount of.
1131
00:46:32.269 --> 00:46:34.280
It's about an hour, really, turnaround, isn't it? But I
1132
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:36.599
never complained about getting the coffee. We were just talking
1133
00:46:36.619 --> 00:46:38.880
about what happens in the morning. And we were surprised.
1134
00:46:38.940 --> 00:46:41.940
And I just said, sometimes when we've made the coffee,
1135
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:44.119
she could, you know, but she did, she made me
1136
00:46:44.139 --> 00:46:45.739
a coffee this morning, but now I know she did
1137
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.380
that on purpose.
1138
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:49.199
So she could send this and unleash. It's still going.
1139
00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:53.929
Somebody has to do it. Stop it. And then on
1140
00:46:53.949 --> 00:46:57.030
top of that, don't then go, oh, would you like
1141
00:46:57.110 --> 00:47:01.960
a coffee? Nah. It's not subtle. It's not clever. And
1142
00:47:02.019 --> 00:47:06.079
it's not funny. But he does it every fucking morning.
1143
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.179
It's not funny, but it is.
1144
00:47:09.360 --> 00:47:10.690
Because you haven't made me one.
1145
00:47:10.710 --> 00:47:13.289
No, I haven't made you one. You're asleep.
1146
00:47:13.670 --> 00:47:14.250
You're fully.
1147
00:47:15.190 --> 00:47:16.869
There's nothing wrong with getting up in the morning and
1148
00:47:16.889 --> 00:47:19.929
politely offering my wife, would you like a coffee? And
1149
00:47:20.110 --> 00:47:22.989
if she replies with, no thanks, I've already made myself one,
1150
00:47:23.429 --> 00:47:24.099
then that's fine too.
1151
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:27.139
It's just a question. If you were wired up to
1152
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:32.019
a Jeremy style, Jeremy Kyle style lie detector, and I said,
1153
00:47:32.900 --> 00:47:36.559
when offering a coffee, is there any ulterior motive? Would
1154
00:47:36.579 --> 00:47:37.219
you be able.
1155
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.929
To say, no? No, I wouldn't be able to say that.
1156
00:47:42.469 --> 00:47:44.719
But if I'm making a coffee, I'll offer whoever else
1157
00:47:44.739 --> 00:47:47.579
is in the room a coffee. That's just society.
1158
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:48.820
Your kids?
1159
00:47:49.380 --> 00:47:50.179
Not them, but adults.
1160
00:47:51.559 --> 00:47:54.360
Unconscious until about six minutes ago. Why would I make
1161
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:56.760
you a coffee? You were unconscious.
1162
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:01.239
No, all this is very long So yes, that's my
1163
00:48:01.300 --> 00:48:03.639
thoughts That's my thoughts on that.
1164
00:48:05.460 --> 00:48:07.460
Just so you know That's not her thoughts because there's
1165
00:48:07.500 --> 00:48:08.340
another 1 minute.
1166
00:48:08.099 --> 00:48:12.719
49 Jesus Christ Go and fuck yourselves Fuck yourselves.
1167
00:48:12.539 --> 00:48:13.719
What was that?
1168
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.420
Not you Josh, you're fine.
1169
00:48:18.989 --> 00:48:24.610
Sorry There's more, was that it? That's the first voice
1170
00:48:24.670 --> 00:48:25.559
note What's the second one?
1171
00:48:28.190 --> 00:48:33.829
Also, just quickly, doing the school run is helpful. Absolutely
1172
00:48:33.889 --> 00:48:38.539
no denying that. Taking them in is helpful. But that's
1173
00:48:38.619 --> 00:48:42.710
not the hard bit of... getting ready in the morning
1174
00:48:42.730 --> 00:48:45.449
I agree the hard bit is getting up in the
1175
00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:49.030
pitch black when you're very tired and getting two children
1176
00:48:49.150 --> 00:48:50.969
up in the pitch black when they're very tired and
1177
00:48:51.010 --> 00:48:52.619
they do not want to put on their school uniform
1178
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:53.639
and they don't want to tell you what they want
1179
00:48:53.659 --> 00:48:54.699
for breakfast and.
1180
00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:56.280
They're not telling you what they need in their bag
1181
00:48:57.139 --> 00:48:58.519
I know what they need in their bag because I've
1182
00:48:58.559 --> 00:48:58.820
got it.
1183
00:48:58.780 --> 00:49:02.880
Written down but oh shit it was forest school today.
1184
00:49:02.940 --> 00:49:05.780
So yes thank you I appreciate you taking them in
1185
00:49:05.820 --> 00:49:09.099
on the school run but equally you're not doing me
1186
00:49:09.139 --> 00:49:15.050
a favour here you're doing a proportion of the work
1187
00:49:15.710 --> 00:49:19.260
required for our children to get to school.
1188
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:21.139
It is not a favour.
1189
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:24.030
I know. I'm not saying it's a favour.
1190
00:49:24.050 --> 00:49:25.409
Do you know what? I'm going to come to your
1191
00:49:25.429 --> 00:49:28.030
defence here, Rob. And I've been on Team Lou the
1192
00:49:28.050 --> 00:49:28.449
whole way.
1193
00:49:28.469 --> 00:49:28.889
Yeah, yeah.
1194
00:49:29.650 --> 00:49:34.190
It's a very difficult situation if mentioning something that you
1195
00:49:34.210 --> 00:49:38.550
do is considered asking for credit, but then you can't
1196
00:49:38.610 --> 00:49:39.550
mention something.
1197
00:49:39.289 --> 00:49:41.880
You do because then it sounds like you don't do anything.
1198
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.619
So you're in a no-win in that situation. Hey, welcome
1199
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:47.900
to my world. Oh, I'm not saying that. I'm saying
1200
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:49.440
that's a general point of absolutely wrong.
1201
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.840
Let's just finish the message here.
1202
00:49:52.949 --> 00:49:57.170
It's the least hard bit of that process, I would say.
1203
00:49:57.190 --> 00:50:00.550
It's the angriest small business shout-out we've ever ended on,
1204
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.239
isn't it?
1205
00:50:03.139 --> 00:50:05.400
Coming down, making a coffee.
1206
00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:08.519
I know the trauma of making a coffee, that does
1207
00:50:08.579 --> 00:50:09.139
cut deep.
1208
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:14.360
Coming down, making a coffee, putting your shoes on and going, right, kids, kids, right, kids,
1209
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:20.260
in the car, fine. Fine. That bit's fine. I could
1210
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:23.170
do that. I could set my alarm for 15 minutes
1211
00:50:23.210 --> 00:50:24.389
before we leave. I can do that.
1212
00:50:24.409 --> 00:50:27.449
Do you know what? There is a dispute over if
1213
00:50:27.489 --> 00:50:28.670
this was in a court of law.
1214
00:50:28.690 --> 00:50:31.289
Yeah. Whether or not you've had a shower.
1215
00:50:35.429 --> 00:50:40.659
You're all right, fool. Whether or not you've had a shower.
1216
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:45.610
She doesn't seem to acknowledge this idea that you've stayed
1217
00:50:45.670 --> 00:50:47.989
up there for a while longer because you're having a shower.
1218
00:50:48.010 --> 00:50:49.889
Yeah, because I don't want to go to the school
1219
00:50:49.909 --> 00:50:51.829
run smelly, but maybe I should get up early.
1220
00:50:51.869 --> 00:50:53.989
No, no, I'm not saying you don't. I'm just wondering
1221
00:50:54.010 --> 00:50:55.889
whether you have had a shower or not. Yeah, I
1222
00:50:55.929 --> 00:50:57.590
always have a shower before I go to the school run.
1223
00:50:58.889 --> 00:51:02.389
The hard bit. I've not brought any of this up.
1224
00:51:03.010 --> 00:51:05.219
I don't mind doing the morning bit because someone's got
1225
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:06.659
to do it and it does make more sense for
1226
00:51:06.699 --> 00:51:07.260
me to do it.
1227
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:11.940
I don't mind. Don't use it as.
1228
00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:17.030
A tool to complain about afterwards because you don't get
1229
00:51:17.070 --> 00:51:18.030
a coffee made for you.
1230
00:51:18.530 --> 00:51:22.250
You're not hard done by in this situation. You are fine.
1231
00:51:22.269 --> 00:51:23.409
Grow up.
1232
00:51:24.949 --> 00:51:27.289
Now, is that all of it? She knows how to
1233
00:51:27.349 --> 00:51:28.869
end a speech. That's what I like.
1234
00:51:29.829 --> 00:51:33.570
There was a kind of Tony Blair style rhythm at
1235
00:51:33.590 --> 00:51:34.010
the end.
1236
00:51:34.969 --> 00:51:37.679
You are fine. Grow up. Thank you.
1237
00:51:37.699 --> 00:51:39.000
Four more years.
1238
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:40.699
Five more years.
1239
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:44.460
Five more years. I agree with Lou. I think Lou
1240
00:51:46.179 --> 00:51:48.230
isn't better in the mornings. She just does that and
1241
00:51:48.269 --> 00:51:50.969
I do other things. And I wasn't requesting a coffee.
1242
00:51:50.989 --> 00:51:53.429
I was explaining what our setup was. But I was
1243
00:51:53.449 --> 00:51:56.389
surprised she didn't offer me one. I take all that
1244
00:51:56.429 --> 00:51:58.510
on board. I think she makes a lot of valid points.
1245
00:51:58.889 --> 00:52:01.389
I would say, though, towards the end of those voice notes,
1246
00:52:02.010 --> 00:52:04.289
the emotion and anger that I mentioned to you earlier
1247
00:52:04.929 --> 00:52:05.650
really shone through.
1248
00:52:06.550 --> 00:52:07.889
Well, I'm not going to.
1249
00:52:08.250 --> 00:52:11.170
I suppose we'll just have to put it to an
1250
00:52:11.230 --> 00:52:13.070
Instagram poll who is correct.
1251
00:52:13.860 --> 00:52:16.039
All I want to say is, Lou, I love you.
1252
00:52:17.699 --> 00:52:18.559
Should we do small business?
1253
00:52:18.739 --> 00:52:18.980
Yeah.
1254
00:52:19.019 --> 00:52:20.940
Do you want to hear them divorce stories?
1255
00:52:23.619 --> 00:52:27.239
Hi, Rob, Josh, and Michael. Love, love, love the podcast.
1256

myself mentioning you two in conversations almost every day. Um,
1258
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:36.679

1261
00:52:41.579 --> 00:52:44.059
How many businesses are opening in the Southeast of England?
1262
00:52:44.179 --> 00:52:46.340
It's booming, mate. They offer.
1263
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:47.110

I mum to five-year-old Freddie and ten-month-old Rory. I would

love you to shout out my small business, Happy Smiley Goats.
1286
00:54:03.849 --> 00:54:07.340
Fucking hell. In Warwickshire. We run a toddler farm.
1287
00:54:07.429 --> 00:54:07.889
Too far.
1288
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:10.800
You can't make a goat travel that far. We run
1289
00:54:10.820 --> 00:54:14.400
a toddler play group playing and interacting with our pygmy goats.
1290
00:54:14.900 --> 00:54:15.539
Yes, please.
1291
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:18.519
In our mad Hatter's woodland where the children can play
1292
00:54:18.539 --> 00:54:20.889
in the mud kitchens and run free in our farm-themed
1293
00:54:21.030 --> 00:54:23.710
play paddock. We also offer home visits if you're having
1294
00:54:23.730 --> 00:54:26.590
a garden party. Our friendly, loving goats come and play
1295
00:54:26.610 --> 00:54:28.630
and love being fed and pampered by the children. We
1296
00:54:28.650 --> 00:54:31.679
also do school and nursery educational visits to learn about
1297
00:54:31.739 --> 00:54:33.199
how fun, inquisitive.
1298
00:54:32.780 --> 00:54:34.260
And wonderfully charming goats are.
1299
00:54:35.289 --> 00:54:37.389

00:54:37.409 --> 00:54:40.010

Yeah, just go and ask Lou to knock you up
1315
00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:20.780
a coffee before the Friday episode. I don't think it's
1316
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:21.929
about the coffee. Bye.
1317
00:55:22.090 --> 00:55:22.409
Bye.
1318
00:55:23.550 --> 00:55:23.630
Bye.
