  Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with...

• 3:23Speaker 04

  Nellie, can you say Rob Beckett?

• 3:27Speaker 05

  Wap.

• 3:28Speaker 03

  Wap, wap, wap.

• 3:31Speaker 05

  Rob Beckett.

• 3:34Speaker 04

  Beckett. And Josh Widdicombe?

• 3:36Speaker 05

  And Josh Widdicombe.

• 3:38Speaker 04

  Well done.

• 3:39Speaker 05

  And Archie. And Archie, where are you?

• 3:43Speaker 02

  This is my 30-month-year-old daughter, Nellie. Our Canadian and South American relatives

• 3:48Speaker 03

  Ooh.

• 3:49Speaker 02

  used to call her New York Nellie. However, we have officially rebranded her as NASCAR Nellie. We're currently trapped in a horrific phase where her only setting is sprint, specifically sprinting away from me in the chaotic streets of Manhattan.

• 4:02Speaker 03

  Oh, that's a tough place to parent, Manhattan, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, you've got those tiny little parks full of dog shit and homeless people.

• 4:09Speaker 02

  You've got Central Park

• 4:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 4:11Speaker 02

  and nothing else where I wouldn't be fearing...

• 4:15Speaker 03

  No, it's not. It's a tough... My friends lived in New York, but then they moved to Jersey because there was a bit more space. But Manhattan...

• 4:21Speaker 02

  Jersey just off the south coast of England.

• 4:23Speaker 03

  No, the New Jersey.

• 4:26Speaker 02

  New Jersey.

• 4:26Speaker 03

  Jersey Seray, bye-bye.

• 4:30Speaker 02

  You what? You what?

• 4:31Speaker 03

  Jersey Seray. I'm trying to do that weird American accent, it's not working.

• 4:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's not.

• 4:37Speaker 03

  Because I was not New York.

• 4:39Speaker 02

  Who do I associate with New Jersey?

• 4:40Speaker 03

  Get off the side, I'm walking here.

• 4:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 4:43Speaker 03

  But then Jersey Seray, it's a bit more...

• 4:45Speaker 02

  Well, that's weird.

• 4:45Speaker 03

  That karma.

• 4:46Speaker 02

  I think you can do New York.

• 4:47Speaker 03

  Yeah?

• 4:48Speaker 02

  But Tony Soprano's New Jersey.

• 4:49Speaker 03

  Can I get a coffee around here?

• 4:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, you sound like...

• 4:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's Jersey, Tony Soprano, but he's Italian-American.

• 4:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:56Speaker 03

  Anyway, get back to Nellie.

• 4:57Speaker 02

  Chasing her on a half-mile walk to... Half-mile walk to and from daycare every single day is an absolute nightmare. Really gets the blood pressure spiking nicely before the workday even starts. I actually started listening to the podcast when I was pregnant. My colleague Katie, originally from Essex, told me it was mandatory listening. Having done my undergraduate degree in the UK, I desperately miss proper British banter.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Oh, that's a proper... Making banter great again.

• 5:26Speaker 02

  Here we go, Farage.

• 5:28Speaker 03

  No, not Farage.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  Sorry.

• 5:29Speaker 03

  Put the cup of tea down. And don't... Because that could be cut up.

• 5:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, I was joking. I was joking.

• 5:35Speaker 03

  That would be in a reform conference. Just that bit, vroom.

• 5:38Speaker 02

  Farage.

• 5:39Speaker 03

  No, I'm in it. This is a nightmare.

• 5:42Speaker 02

  And I needed your heavy dose of cynicism to balance out all the aggressive American cheerfulness over here. You lot delivered. Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment. Cheers for keeping it sexy and relatable. Brindley.

• 5:55Speaker 03

  Is that Brindley?

• 5:56Speaker 02

  Brindley.

• 5:56Speaker 03

  That sounds like a market town we do warm-up big things.

• 5:59Speaker 02

  It does, doesn't it?

• 6:00Speaker 03

  Guys, I'll be in Brindley Village Hall next week.

• 6:03Speaker 02

  430 months. P.S. You will hear her shout, "And Archie, where are you, Archie?" That's what she was shouting. At the very end, Archie is her best mate from daycare, but she tracks him down with intensity of a bounty hunter.

• 6:14Speaker 03

  Oh, that's nice.

• 6:15Speaker 02

  So we've broken New York, Rob.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  We've broken New York. We're in Spotify HQ. These chairs are like really expensive, kind of like office chairs, but they're too complicated for me. I can't work out how to go up or down.

• 6:27Speaker 02

  No, I'm...

• 6:27Speaker 03

  It's making me sit with great posture. I feel too rigid. How can I do Great British Banter, sit like this?

• 6:35Speaker 03

  I mean, I feel like I'm on a parole board.

• 6:37Speaker 02

  Would you host Great British Banter? It's like the Great British Bake Off, but it's three...

• 6:43Speaker 03

  Talk me through the format. I'm the host.

• 6:44Speaker 02

  Day one is themed banter.

• 6:47Speaker 03

  Themed banter. So it'll be like, okay, kid's birthday party.

• 6:50Speaker 02

  Kid's birthday party.

• 6:51Speaker 03

  Here's a setup, you go in and do banter. We film it and see how the banter goes.

• 6:54Speaker 02

  And then there's... Because the second thing they do on the Bake Off is the secret one, isn't it? So it's like...

• 7:00Speaker 03

  Oh, so that'll be like that we just drop you in a scenario and you've got to do some banter.

• 7:03Speaker 02

  Yeah. And then the third one is your showstopper. So that is, you can choose... You choose the banter you're bringing.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  Right. So my friend actually did a bit of the secret banter, like Great British Banter, recently. He was in the car park, and it was all dark because the lights weren't working of a supermarket car park.

• 7:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:20Speaker 03

  So it was dark, and there was a lady complaining to her husband going, "It's just ridiculous. It's dangerous. How can you do this or do that?" And he shouted, "Who said that?"

• 7:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, right.

• 7:30Speaker 03

  This is Great British Banter.

• 7:32Speaker 02

  Great British Banter, TM.

• 7:37Speaker 03

  Oh, how are you, Josh?

• 7:38Speaker 02

  Good. I've had a bad night's sleep.

• 7:40Speaker 03

  Have you?

• 7:41Speaker 02

  Talking of lights.

• 7:42Speaker 03

  Lights?

• 7:42Speaker 02

  So you know where our house done?

• 7:45Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, for the last six years.

• 7:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:47Speaker 03

  A bit different house.

• 7:48Speaker 02

  The electricians were around yesterday.

• 7:51Speaker 03

  Could we get... For people that have just joined the pod, should we give a quick, brief recap of your house works?

• 7:58Speaker 02

  Yeah, so...

• 7:59Speaker 03

  You were in a house in London

• 8:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 8:01Speaker 03

  that needed doing up?

• 8:03Speaker 02

  Well, not really.

• 8:09Speaker 02

  So you done... Well, do you know what? I look back on it as, right, and it's an expensive way to find this out.

• 8:16Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 8:16Speaker 02

  Very expensive way to find this out. We were unhappy in our house in London.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 8:22Speaker 02

  So we thought doing it up would change our happiness living there.

• 8:27Speaker 03

  But it wasn't.

• 8:28Speaker 02

  But it wasn't that.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  Right.

• 8:30Speaker 02

  So doing the house up in London was, I suppose, like a couple trying to save their marriage by...

• 8:41Speaker 03

  Changing things, but actually they need to change each other.

• 8:43Speaker 02

  And then they realise they need to change each other.

• 8:45Speaker 03

  Do you think I should tell Lou to cancel the boob job?

• 8:49Speaker 03

  And so, but you realise actually it's not the house. It's... Anyway, so then you moved to London and did that.

• 8:54Speaker 02

  So I think we've been in the midst of work since the middle of 2014.

• 9:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, and it's, yeah, obviously now middle of 2026.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:06Speaker 03

  And are you in a bed yet? Quick recap on you.

• 9:09Speaker 02

  So this is last night. Can I just say something? We're in a different room now.

• 9:14Speaker 03

  All of you, like...

• 9:15Speaker 02

  No, no, no. Me and you are recording this in a different room.

• 9:18Speaker 03

  Oh, no, we're in a different room, yeah.

• 9:18Speaker 02

  Yeah. And normally Michael's through a curtain.

• 9:21Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:22Speaker 02

  And he live edits the cameras to save time later.

• 9:25Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah, good idea.

• 9:27Speaker 02

  But I can hear him clicking the button every time he switches camera because he's just in the corner of this room.

• 9:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:32Speaker 02

  There it is.

• 9:33Speaker 03

  And is that distracting?

• 9:34Speaker 02

  It's just a click. Is that you, Michael? Oh, is that not you?

• 9:38Speaker 03

  Oh, no, it's all right. It's my jewellery.

• 9:40Speaker 02

  Oh, I thought it was Michael.

• 9:41Speaker 03

  My bracelet. I'll take my bracelet off.

• 9:43Speaker 02

  No, it's fine.

• 9:44Speaker 03

  Go on. This is like when you get a reality star on a panel show. They come in with like jewellery and it ruins all the mics.

• 9:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  I'll move that there.

• 9:52Speaker 02

  Or Bobby George. I bet you like Bobby George, Tony.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  We was listening to Chaz and Dave on the way to school.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  Do you know, I've got a weird story about Bobby George. Then we'll come back to it. So if people don't know who Bobby George is...

• 10:03Speaker 03

  Well, I guess... Hang on, we're still talking about your...

• 10:05Speaker 02

  The click's going on. It wasn't your bracelet at all.

• 10:06Speaker 03

  The click's still got... There's no click.

• 10:08Speaker 02

  What is that click?

• 10:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:11Speaker 02

  Can you hear it?

• 10:12Speaker 03

  No. I can't hear a click. I've got headphones on, so I can't. Well, carry on, I'll listen.

• 10:15Speaker 02

  No.

• 10:17Speaker 03

  There. You're like a meerkat. How on edge are you?

• 10:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, quite.

• 10:21Speaker 03

  Your, your, your, your ears are searching danger at all points.

• 10:24Speaker 02

  I know. So.

• 10:25Speaker 03

  Well, just crouch, Michael.

• 10:27Speaker 02

  Sorry.

• 10:27Speaker 03

  Josh is banning you.

• 10:28Speaker 02

  No, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

• 10:29Speaker 03

  Do you want to try a different chair? Come on, he doesn't want to be on camera.

• 10:32Speaker 02

  Sorry, sorry.

• 10:33Speaker 03

  What is it? Are you not on the run from Instagram?

• 10:37Speaker 02

  But, um.

• 10:37Speaker 03

  So, but, well, we were talking about, let's get, one, I want to know how you're sleeping, two, you want to talk about.

• 10:42Speaker 02

  Do you want to put a pin in sleeping and just quickly do Bobby George?

• 10:44Speaker 03

  And also we're speaking about your builder.

• 10:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:47Speaker 03

  Do, quickly do Bobby George.

• 10:48Speaker 02

  Sleeping and builder's the same.

• 10:49Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 10:49Speaker 02

  I did some bad banter with the builder yesterday as well.

• 10:52Speaker 03

  Right, okay, hang on, so we, at the moment, there's so many pins.

• 10:55Speaker 02

  So many pins, like a boodoo doll.

• 10:57Speaker 03

  You know, like, you know, like when they're trying to find a serial killer in an American film? The pins of the red line. Okay, do Bobby George, we're going back to builders.

• 11:05Speaker 02

  So when I was, this, I haven't thought about this since it happened.

• 11:11Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:12Speaker 02

  I loved darts for a brief period in the 2000s.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 11:16Speaker 02

  Like, I loved both the BBC and the Sky darts.

• 11:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:20Speaker 02

  I still think it's an incredible sport.

• 11:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay.

• 11:22Speaker 02

  But I really got into it, and I was really into Bobby George.

• 11:26Speaker 03

  And for people that don't, covered in gold.

• 11:27Speaker 02

  So Bobby George.

• 11:28Speaker 03

  East End geezer.

• 11:29Speaker 02

  He's, he wears an incredible amount of gold jewellery.

• 11:33Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:34Speaker 02

  He walks on, uh, when he was a darts player with, um, what are those things, a candelabra? Holding up a candelabra. He never won the world championship, but I think he played the semi-final with a broken back or something like that one year. But he was.

• 11:50Speaker 03

  I cannot believe the detail we're going into Bobby George.

• 11:52Speaker 02

  He was the main pundit on the BBC.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  Also, can I say as well, when you said he wore loads of gold, I nearly interrupted and said, I watched the Mr. T documentary and I want to talk about it.

• 11:59Speaker 02

  Yeah, but.

• 12:00Speaker 03

  We haven't got any pins left.

• 12:01Speaker 02

  But he would wear a Mr. T amount of gold.

• 12:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 12:04Speaker 02

  And he's got a fake tan and.

• 12:07Speaker 03

  No, that, he hasn't, not Mr. T. Oh, sorry, Bobby George.

• 12:13Speaker 03

  Bobby George.

• 12:13Speaker 02

  Bobby George.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  How are your kids, all right?

• 12:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, good, yeah. He, he built a house, he built his own house, he was a former brickie.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  Right, okay, yeah.

• 12:21Speaker 02

  He built his own house called George Hall.

• 12:24Speaker 03

  You, you started.

• 12:25Speaker 02

  You need this, you need this detail.

• 12:26Speaker 03

  I'm just saying though, but you were telling the Bobby George anecdote, we, um, we're on paragraph three of his Wikipedia.

• 12:32Speaker 02

  So Bobby George built his own house.

• 12:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:35Speaker 02

  In the shape of a dart.

• 12:36Speaker 03

  No.

• 12:37Speaker 02

  In the shape of a dart flight, right?

• 12:39Speaker 03

  I thought you meant it was just really long and narrow.

• 12:40Speaker 02

  George Hall.

• 12:41Speaker 03

  So it's called a corridor? Bobby George.

• 12:44Speaker 02

  With its own fishing lake, right?

• 12:45Speaker 03

  Oh, lovely.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  So when I was at, doing my postgrad in journalism.

• 12:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:51Speaker 02

  We had to do a final project.

• 12:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:53Speaker 02

  On a topic, you had to write three different articles on it. I decided to write on dart, I thought darts is a good one, all right, the thing about the explosion of darts.

• 13:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:03Speaker 02

  And then I contacted Bobby George, said, could I interview you? I went, I'm a freelance journalist. I basically gave him a spiel that I was going to sell it to The Guardian or The Observer. I went to George Hall with my friend pretending to be a cameraman.

• 13:18Speaker 03

  Amazing.

• 13:19Speaker 02

  Met him and his wife, interviewed him, he throughout thought this was going in the broadsheet paper. Um, had the best day, but he's such a charming man.

• 13:29Speaker 03

  Yeah. Right, I, I can't believe I've not heard this before.

• 13:32Speaker 02

  Neither can I, I can't, you know, when you're like, where's that?

• 13:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:35Speaker 02

  Left, haven't thought about it since.

• 13:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:38Speaker 02

  And then when you said Bobby George, I was like, oh, yeah, I went round his house.

• 13:40Speaker 03

  So what did you do, did you go fishing or go, what did you do with him?

• 13:42Speaker 02

  We just interviewed him about his life and darts and, um, also I did a whole thing about darts where I like interviewed Barry Hearn and stuff. I was right good at getting people on the phone, Sid Waddell, I interviewed him.

• 13:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:53Speaker 02

  The commentator of the voice of darts.

• 13:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, yeah, yeah.

• 13:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, well done.

• 13:58Speaker 02

  What weird, and what weird.

• 14:00Speaker 03

  What weird tangent, no, but I didn't know.

• 14:01Speaker 02

  Have you ever?

• 14:02Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Bluffed your way into meeting a celebrity?

  Yeah, or if it's a footballer, email footballing hell.

• 14:19Speaker 03

  You know, so what was going on with your builder and where are you sleeping? Are you in a bed?

• 14:22Speaker 02

  So the electrician.

• 14:23Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 14:24Speaker 02

  Oh, I had a bit of bad banter with him yesterday, I get on very well with my electrician because he's an alcohol fan.

• 14:28Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 14:29Speaker 02

  I, uh, I said, uh, can you be bloody well, can you have Talk Sport on any louder? Bit of fun.

• 14:36Speaker 03

  Right, okay. Is that a bit of fun or you actually don't?

• 14:38Speaker 02

  No, I wasn't annoyed, but then I heard him turn down Talk Sport and I was like, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.

• 14:45Speaker 03

  Sorry, it was just, it was the, the, the second task on Great British Banter. It said, you've got workmen in the house, say something to get them on board, and I failed.

• 14:55Speaker 02

  I failed.

• 14:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:56Speaker 02

  Paul Hollywood's not giving me a handshake for that.

• 14:57Speaker 03

  Alexandra Burke's walked in with a cup of tea and biscuits.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Which she's made herself.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:02Speaker 02

  Because she thought it was Bake Off.

• 15:05Speaker 03

  She just sacked her agent.

• 15:08Speaker 02

  Who do you think would win Great British Banter?

• 15:11Speaker 03

  Oh, someone like Barry Earl or that kind of.

• 15:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, of, you know, uh, oh, I think Ally McCoist.

• 15:17Speaker 02

  Ally McCoist would be great on Great British Banter.

• 15:20Speaker 03

  He, honestly, because you can't have comedians.

• 15:22Speaker 02

  No, you're not allowed.

• 15:23Speaker 03

  It needs to be.

• 15:24Speaker 02

  But your judges would be comedians, so your judge would be like Lee Mack or someone, I don't like a kind of.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Lee Mack's good at Great British Banter, I'd say, yeah.

• 15:32Speaker 02

  He'd be one of the judges.

• 15:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, but I don't know, he's, I think you need someone a bit more, he's quite intense though, isn't he? But he'd be one of the judges, you need a softer one.

• 15:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, you'd have an old woman judge, like.

• 15:42Speaker 03

  Well, no, I'll.

• 15:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, you didn't hear what I said, you didn't hear what you said.

• 15:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was going to say Roche and Connor to be great, but you said we need an old woman and then I.

• 15:50Speaker 02

  She's no longer with us, but someone like Victoria Wood, do you know, like a Mary Berry kind of.

• 15:55Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:55Speaker 02

  Jennifer Saunders.

• 15:56Speaker 03

  Jennifer Saunders, yeah, but no, she's more sketchy.

• 15:58Speaker 02

  She's not very bantery, yeah, yeah. So who would you have as your?

• 16:02Speaker 03

  Who would you have as?

• 16:02Speaker 02

  Joe Brand.

• 16:03Speaker 03

  Joe Brand is good at ban, yes, yeah, I think, yeah, she's quite droll as well, yeah, whoever it is, as a, you know, anyway.

• 16:08Speaker 02

  Um.

• 16:09Speaker 03

  Right, I think Ally McCoist would win Great British Banter.

• 16:11Speaker 02

  So we've heard, we're doing the second phase, right?

• 16:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:15Speaker 02

  So the, so that is now, they're doing the electrics for the, our main bedroom.

• 16:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:21Speaker 02

  Our bathroom upstairs, our bedroom and bathroom upstairs and the sitting room downstairs, so the bits left.

• 16:27Speaker 03

  And you're all sleeping together still in one of the kids' rooms?

• 16:30Speaker 02

  We're, no, we were in the main bedroom, but we were about to move last night, we go back to bed.

• 16:35Speaker 03

  So what is bed?

• 16:37Speaker 02

  Our bed?

• 16:38Speaker 03

  What is bed? Talk me through bed.

• 16:39Speaker 02

  For Rose and my son.

• 16:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, a bed.

• 16:41Speaker 02

  Bed.

• 16:46Speaker 03

  They go to bed in a bed.

• 16:48Speaker 02

  They go to bed in a bed.

• 16:48Speaker 03

  Your daughter?

• 16:50Speaker 02

  Next to me.

• 16:51Speaker 03

  Next to you?

• 16:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:52Speaker 03

  You're in the same mattress?

• 16:54Speaker 02

  Double.

• 16:55Speaker 03

  Double mattress on the floor?

• 16:56Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:58Speaker 03

  Yeah. Eighteen months and you're in.

• 17:00Speaker 02

  Living the life.

• 17:00Speaker 03

  Living the life, no more futon.

• 17:02Speaker 02

  It's like, it's like sleeping on a cloud.

• 17:03Speaker 03

  You're loving it.

• 17:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  So you're on now, but that's fine, because it's a bed, but just low.

• 17:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:07Speaker 03

  Low bed.

• 17:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's good.

• 17:10Speaker 02

  So, um, before we moved in, they had this wild, the last people, they had this wild, I've never seen it before, like light switch situation.

• 17:19Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:19Speaker 02

  You know where you've just got, like, where there's like loads of buttons and you can do different com, and it's just like, no.

• 17:28Speaker 03

  Too complicated.

• 17:29Speaker 02

  The last guy who lived there, who's lovely, I said, how does this work? I text him afterwards, he was like, oh, when I moved in, I'll give you the number of this guy, I paid him, he had to come around and show me how to use all the light switches. I don't want a light switch thing.

• 17:42Speaker 03

  Right, okay, so some you.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  It's like seven different light switches for each room.

• 17:47Speaker 03

  Is it like one of them fancy ones or something like an app, or is it just?

• 17:50Speaker 02

  There's no app, no, because it's too old.

• 17:52Speaker 03

  Right.

• 17:53Speaker 02

  It was fancy in the nineties.

• 17:55Speaker 03

  So it was like a system that, but if you don't know how to work it, you've got no light.

• 17:58Speaker 02

  So you've got to rewire the whole house.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  For that switch?

• 18:02Speaker 02

  To get rid of these switches.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  Uh, but because these switches are in all the house?

• 18:05Speaker 02

  Yeah, the every room.

• 18:06Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 18:07Speaker 02

  So the electrician's getting rid of them.

• 18:08Speaker 03

  I swear you were just doing the windows.

• 18:13Speaker 02

  So we go up to bed, yeah?

• 18:17Speaker 03

  You said to me, we need a kitchen and the window's done.

• 18:20Speaker 02

  Did I?

• 18:21Speaker 03

  I'm sure we can go back and find that, but anyway, you rewired the whole house now, yep?

• 18:25Speaker 02

  Yeah. Natch. Uh, also, the, the roof of the garage is fucked.

• 18:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, we know about that, yeah, we've had roof.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  So.

• 18:35Speaker 03

  Did you not sleep well, you didn't sleep well last night?

• 18:36Speaker 02

  So we get into the bedroom.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 18:39Speaker 02

  The bathroom, we're like, we've got to brush our teeth in a different bathroom tonight, kids, because our main bathroom, the, is, the light switch, he's, he's disconnected the light switch.

• 18:48Speaker 03

  Got you.

• 18:48Speaker 02

  So they can't turn the light on, because they're rewiring these switches.

• 18:53Speaker 02

  Go into the bedroom, the light's on, but he's disconnected the switch.

• 19:00Speaker 03

  This is the bedroom you're all in.

• 19:02Speaker 02

  Can't turn the light off.

• 19:03Speaker 03

  So you've got light on.

• 19:04Speaker 02

  Light on.

• 19:05Speaker 03

  Can you not take the bulb out?

• 19:06Speaker 02

  No, because they are ceiling lights.

• 19:08Speaker 03

  Oh, like those spot ones?

• 19:11Speaker 02

  But, but, I mean, they're, I mean, we're getting rid of them, yeah, so.

• 19:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, but you can, you are, you can.

• 19:15Speaker 02

  So like, imagine these kind of things.

• 19:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, but you can pull them down and.

• 19:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, but there's probably eight of them in the ceiling. It's like.

• 19:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 19:26Speaker 02

  And you'd have to.

• 19:27Speaker 03

  Did you cover them for the night?

• 19:28Speaker 02

  No.

• 19:29Speaker 03

  Like masking tape.

• 19:30Speaker 02

  My son was so excited. He was like, we're gonna get to sleep in the light and we'll get to wake up in the middle of the night and play. And I was like, this is not me.

• 19:38Speaker 03

  So you're just going to sleep.

• 19:39Speaker 02

  No, we had to move into the other rooms.

• 19:41Speaker 03

  Oh, we went into the other room, fair enough.

• 19:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, so Rose and my son in a bed in the spare room.

• 19:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  Then in my daughter's room, my daughter on her bed.

• 19:51Speaker 03

  Oh, that's, yeah.

• 19:52Speaker 02

  And me on the floor.

• 19:54Speaker 03

  Back to the floor.

• 19:55Speaker 02

  Back to the floor.

• 19:56Speaker 03

  Didn't want to drag the mattress for it?

• 19:57Speaker 02

  Like, like, like all good bosses, back to the floor.

• 20:01Speaker 02

  No, I did drag the mattress.

• 20:02Speaker 03

  Oh, so the mattress is on the floor?

• 20:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:04Speaker 03

  That's better for them.

• 20:05Speaker 02

  So that was my sleeping last night.

• 20:06Speaker 03

  That was sleeping. I'm a bit hungover this morning.

• 20:08Speaker 02

  I know.

• 20:08Speaker 03

  Oh, I went to the golf.

• 20:10Speaker 02

  You went to the golf? What do you mean you went to the golf?

• 20:13Speaker 03

  Well, I didn't realise that going to golf is actually quite a good laugh.

• 20:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't think it is. So going, you went to watch the golf?

• 20:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, so it was a celebrity pro-am.

• 20:23Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 20:23Speaker 03

  So Anton Dubek.

• 20:25Speaker 02

  Aye, my friend.

• 20:27Speaker 03

  Uh, Dan Walker.

• 20:28Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 20:30Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 20:30Speaker 03

  Slightly different response.

• 20:31Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 20:32Speaker 03

  That's fine, yeah. Michael McIntyre.

• 20:34Speaker 02

  Hey, my friend.

• 20:35Speaker 03

  Vernon Kay.

• 20:36Speaker 02

  Hey, I know him.

• 20:37Speaker 03

  Paddy Mc. Paddy McGinnis.

• 20:39Speaker 02

  I know him.

• 20:40Speaker 03

  So, yeah, there was, uh, oh, Gareth Bale, John Terry.

• 20:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, so were you playing?

• 20:44Speaker 03

  No, so I'm not quite.

• 20:45Speaker 02

  But you're, you, what, you're.

• 20:47Speaker 03

  I'm not quite good enough yet.

• 20:48Speaker 02

  I'm not gonna name names, but you wouldn't be bottom of that list. You would be mid-table in that list.

• 20:52Speaker 03

  No, I think, I think I potentially.

• 20:54Speaker 02

  You'd be upper mid, you'd be playoffs.

• 20:55Speaker 03

  Play, uh, well, European places.

• 20:58Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:58Speaker 03

  No, I think I would probably.

• 21:00Speaker 02

  Bale's at the top.

• 21:01Speaker 03

  Bale, yeah. Bale, also he's unbelievable at golf.

• 21:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:03Speaker 03

  But I'm not quite good enough to play at that level because I, I don't mind being.

• 21:07Speaker 02

  How good's Anton?

• 21:08Speaker 03

  Anton's amazing.

• 21:09Speaker 02

  Is he?

• 21:10Speaker 03

  And he's really.

• 21:11Speaker 02

  He's gonna be supple.

• 21:12Speaker 03

  Strong, massive dancing arse. And he's got hips that slide about like a.

• 21:17Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 21:18Speaker 03

  Oh, it's like a basketball on a rocking ship. His hips are just sliding back.

• 21:22Speaker 02

  And I bet he, I bet he absolutely goes for it in the outfit.

• 21:25Speaker 03

  Oh, and also, do you know, he was one of the best. He was giving it to the crowd. Every time he hit a shot, little dance.

• 21:30Speaker 02

  He'd be.

• 21:31Speaker 03

  Seven, seven, and he's like.

• 21:33Speaker 02

  He would be superb on Great British Banter.

• 21:35Speaker 03

  Oh, a little, little bit more of a measured old school one.

• 21:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:38Speaker 03

  Nice, you know? Yeah, he'd be a front runner with Ally McCoist.

• 21:41Speaker 02

  He'd be up there with Ally McCoist.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  Um, so, yeah, he was there, but I'm not quite good enough to play yet because it's not, I don't mind being bad, because it doesn't really matter if you're bad, because you take, you, you play as a professional. So they hit the driver and then everyone hits the driver off the first tee.

• 21:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:56Speaker 03

  But you play the best ball that lands.

• 21:58Speaker 02

  So theoretically, they might never use, no disrespect, Vernon Kay's drive.

• 22:04Speaker 03

  No, but he, yeah, he is quite good actually, Vernon, but ultimately you'll never, even if you're best one, you're never gonna be as good as like Rory McIlroy hitting a ball. So you essentially keep playing their shot and then the pro gets the low score.

• 22:15Speaker 02

  You can't be the worst, Rob. Well, when you do pro celebrity Great British Banter.

• 22:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:21Speaker 02

  And they're like, we're gonna use the celebrity's banter rather than yours, I'm afraid, Rob, for that.

• 22:26Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 22:27Speaker 02

  Oh, Rob, you're.

• 22:29Speaker 03

  When I do that and I, I do the banter and go like, everyone use my banter as a jumping off point. And I go, no, actually, Chris Akabusi absolutely nailed that.

• 22:38Speaker 03

  He'd be great on it, wouldn't he?

• 22:39Speaker 02

  He'd be brilliant.

• 22:40Speaker 03

  Chris Akabusi comes, oh. Um, yeah, so I went, basically, so that was happening and I wanted to watch it and see how it was. So if I do play next year, but the problem is, I don't mind being bad, because I'm learning and that's part of it. But there, there are thousands of people there. So I'm talking that you're like trying to hit a ball and they're, and it's like a professional event. So like, the whole fairway's full of people. And I, I, I think if I played this year, I would have hit someone.

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 23:03Speaker 03

  So I've got to get better at keeping it straight so I don't harm anyone.

• 23:06Speaker 02

  So, so when you turned up, sorry to.

• 23:09Speaker 03

  Give it a go, yeah.

• 23:11Speaker 02

  Was there ever an, or, because presumably you've got some kind of past that you were backstage or something, right?

• 23:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, not just.

• 23:16Speaker 02

  You didn't just go to watch.

• 23:18Speaker 03

  No, I went there the day before to do a challenge.

• 23:21Speaker 02

  Right.

• 23:21Speaker 03

  For charity.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:22Speaker 03

  Golf Foundation in the DP water.

• 23:23Speaker 02

  Was there ever a point when you turned up and you're having your coffee?

• 23:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 23:27Speaker 02

  At eleven AM.

• 23:28Speaker 03

  Well, I didn't have a coffee. I'm hungover. I had.

• 23:30Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 23:31Speaker 03

  A bottle of Stella.

• 23:32Speaker 02

  Right, so you're having a bottle of Stella and then.

• 23:34Speaker 03

  Which is a mad choice of drink.

• 23:35Speaker 02

  And then Dan Walker walks over.

• 23:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:37Speaker 02

  And he goes, who's your partner? And you have to go. Uh, no, I'm, I'm just here to watch.

• 23:43Speaker 03

  Today I'll be following around Mr. Artois.

• 23:46Speaker 02

  Yeah. Did, was there, was there a confusion that you weren't playing?

• 23:49Speaker 03

  No, not really, because I was up in like a little viewing bit.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 23:52Speaker 03

  But that's where all the, um, amateurs came afterwards. So a lot of people went, well played, Rob. And I went, thanks.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 23:58Speaker 03

  And just a bit of that. Um, so, so, but I just sat there, but I watched it all day. So you get there like from like ten in the morning.

• 24:03Speaker 02

  Who were you with? Not a loo.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  No, my brother and a couple of mates that were going anyway. And you just stand there all day. Basically, it's like the best beer garden ever.

• 24:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:12Speaker 03

  Where, where they put me in like a corporate area, which is amazing. It's a free bar. So I just stood on a balcony on the eighteenth hole, just watching everyone come up. And I just got really into it and got really drunk.

• 24:22Speaker 02

  Got really into it.

• 24:23Speaker 03

  And then went out. So I got home about eleven.

• 24:24Speaker 02

  You went out. So where do you go out after the golf? Where was it? Sorry?

• 24:28Speaker 03

  Wentworth.

• 24:29Speaker 02

  So where is that?

• 24:30Speaker 03

  In Surrey. It's about an hour from my house.

• 24:32Speaker 02

  So where'd you go out?

• 24:33Speaker 03

  Well, afterwards, my friends, friends, an agent of Nick Doherty, he was the Sky Sports Golf presenter, who had like an, an evening do where he spoke about golf and we had more booze, but by that point I was bleary eyed.

• 24:45Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:45Speaker 03

  And then I got home about eleven, eleven o'clock, well, about half eleven. Because we had to be here for eleven. I had such a bleak morning. I did the school run, but I weren't feeling great.

• 24:54Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 24:54Speaker 03

  And then I had to wait, because where I get the train, if I'd park at the station, if I get there before nine thirty, there's no spaces apart from the ones that are in the pre-nine thirty VIP bay, which I don't understand how you get.

• 25:06Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:07Speaker 03

  You have to pay extra. So it was like forty-five minutes. I was like, oh, do I just wait here for forty-five minutes? I was like.

• 25:12Speaker 02

  Sleep in the car?

• 25:12Speaker 03

  I was gonna, but then I was hungry, so I drove to McDonald's drive-through.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Oh, no.

• 25:16Speaker 03

  Got a McDonald's drive-through, then sat and ate that in the car and it actually smelt like human shit.

• 25:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, so this is, this is my question.

• 25:23Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 25:23Speaker 02

  When I used to be hungover.

• 25:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:25Speaker 02

  Maybe I will be again one day, but ideally not.

• 25:29Speaker 03

  Great for numbers, though, if you read that.

• 25:30Speaker 02

  If I, yeah. Um, I would spend the whole day chasing what I thought was gonna be the solution.

• 25:40Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 25:41Speaker 02

  In food.

• 25:42Speaker 03

  Yes, what I've been doing.

• 25:43Speaker 02

  And it never works. You think, if I can just have a Mars bar or a baked potato.

• 25:49Speaker 03

  Just have an antihistamine to help with my blocked up nose I get from beer.

• 25:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:52Speaker 03

  No, so I'm hot, very overheated. I've had a coffee in a flapjack, thought that'd help. No, I feel horrendous.

• 25:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:58Speaker 03

  So I feel like well enough to do this, but I am tired. So I might, there may be po- points of low energy.

• 28:11Speaker 02

  Can I ask you about your golf?

• 28:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:14Speaker 02

  Okay, because I'm, I'm really enjoying it because when we started, right?

• 28:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:18Speaker 02

  You were, you were dipping your toe in the golfing world, but your lifestyle didn't work because your kids were too young.

• 28:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, I just never had any time to play at all.

• 28:27Speaker 02

  Yeah. Now, as a self-confessed absent father.

• 28:32Speaker 03

  Yep, I'm trying to readdress that.

• 28:33Speaker 02

  No, no. Now.

• 28:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:35Speaker 02

  Your kids are at school.

• 28:36Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 28:37Speaker 02

  You're going to play golf.

• 28:38Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:39Speaker 02

  You, you and, and you're doing your golf channel.

• 28:42Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 28:43Speaker 02

  Rob Beckett lets golf.

• 28:44Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 28:45Speaker 02

  Um, and you're loving it.

• 28:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, I am actually, yeah.

• 28:48Speaker 02

  And you are getting further and further.

• 28:50Speaker 03

  It's a simple ballad. You're gonna make me cry, that.

• 28:53Speaker 02

  What are your non-negotiables on the, on the fairway?

• 28:56Speaker 03

  No, I've discussed this. Breathing, shitting and pissing. My three non-negotiables.

• 29:01Speaker 02

  Your three non-negotiables. Last week, sadly for me, one of them became a negotiable.

• 29:09Speaker 02

  I couldn't shit for the life of me.

• 29:11Speaker 03

  Oh, did it, it did happen in the end?

• 29:13Speaker 02

  I managed.

• 29:13Speaker 03

  Did the medicine work?

• 29:14Speaker 02

  I'm through it, I'm through it, yeah.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  Oh, well done.

• 29:16Speaker 02

  Yeah, I had to double drop set in a cot. Two days on the bounce.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  Nah.

• 29:21Speaker 02

  Get things moving.

• 29:22Speaker 03

  It's not good if you're in it, is it?

• 29:23Speaker 02

  No. Anyway.

• 29:24Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 29:26Speaker 02

  How deep can you get sucked into this world?

• 29:28Speaker 03

  Golf.

• 29:29Speaker 02

  Because you, this, you've got to the point where you can get a passion now and you've chosen golf.

• 29:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's my passion. I've chosen my passion. That's what you normally do with passions.

• 29:40Speaker 02

  No, yeah.

• 29:40Speaker 03

  I've picked it. If I have, I've picked it.

• 29:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:43Speaker 03

  Um, go on.

• 29:44Speaker 02

  How, how much are you going to be a golfer and sucked into the world of golf?

• 29:48Speaker 03

  Well, what I feel like is at the moment, I'm on the edge of a big suck zone.

• 29:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 29:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, and my, I'm, I'm dangling off the edge.

• 29:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 29:57Speaker 03

  And I'm trying to make sure, because all, the problem with golf is people get competitive with it and keep going, you're getting better yet, you're getting better yet. And I'm like, well, I need to reframe this because I just want to make sure I'm still enjoying it. Because if I, if the focus is to get better, so to what ends?

• 30:11Speaker 02

  Have you got a pro?

• 30:13Speaker 03

  Um, I've had some lessons and stuff, but like a lot of people, because I've got mates that like play off like the handicap, I don't, can I say something? And this may end my whole journey in golf. I think the handicap system is absolute bollocks. The fact you have to invent.

• 30:27Speaker 02

  Explain that to people who don't know what it is.

• 30:29Speaker 03

  So basically, if you play golf, right, the idea is to go around in the shortest amount of shots possible. Okay?

• 30:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 30:34Speaker 03

  So if you go to a golf hole and it's like par four, that means you should do this in four shots.

• 30:40Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 30:40Speaker 03

  Okay? And if you're playing someone else and they do it in five shots, you're winning by one, essentially, because they took one more than you. So if you're really good at golf, your handicap, basically, if you play off zero, it means you don't need any extra shots to get to par.

• 30:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, so if you're going, I'm going to get around in 72 shots, which is generally what a golf course takes. However, I'm not very good, so I'll get around in 90. So your handicap there would be 18.

• 31:05Speaker 03

  Yes, exactly. So my problem with it is, if you're playing someone at a sport.

• 31:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:12Speaker 03

  Why add in this extra thing of you, I'm better than you, so you get this. It's the equivalent of me fighting Anthony Joshua, but he's not allowed to use hands.

• 31:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 31:20Speaker 03

  He's just got to do head butts and have his hands tied behind his back and he'll still beat me anyway. So I just sort of think it's pathetic.

• 31:25Speaker 02

  Do you think he would?

• 31:26Speaker 03

  Huh? Take that fight? I fancy chances.

• 31:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, if he's got his hands tied behind his back, are you beating up Anthony Joshua?

• 31:34Speaker 03

  Well, do you know what? Like, if the money's right, I'd have a go. But I just think.

• 31:38Speaker 02

  He couldn't headbutt you out, surely, because you've got the reach.

• 31:41Speaker 03

  Do you know what I think would happen? If he weren't even allowed to headbutt me, I think he'd still win because I'd collapse through exhaustion.

• 31:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, because you'd just hurt yourself by.

• 31:47Speaker 03

  And he just, because imagine being stood there.

• 31:49Speaker 02

  And then he could just chest you down.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, and just lean on me and then.

• 31:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:53Speaker 03

  But imagine punching someone with their hands behind their back and they just take it and move forward, which is what would happen?

• 31:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, because think of the punches he's taken in his life.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:01Speaker 02

  I don't mean metaphorically, I mean like physically.

• 32:05Speaker 03

  Um, so, so yeah, I just think, just accept your, because I, I get it if you want to make the game competitive, but like, say you're playoff zero and I play off like 20 and I get loads of shots and then I beat you because of the handicap system. I'm like, well, I haven't beaten you.

• 32:19Speaker 02

  Because you're, you should be playing on a level. That's, so say, say, you know, if you're new, you need to get up to the right level. So let's put it this way.

• 32:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 32:29Speaker 02

  What ways we understand?

• 32:30Speaker 03

  Great British banter?

• 32:31Speaker 02

  Great British banter. You go on the Great British banter.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  You've got Ally McCoys and then Rory Stewart.

• 32:35Speaker 02

  Yeah, Rory Stewart goes, I play off a handicap of 72 laughs. So I start with 72 laughs because I'm cripplingly unfun.

• 32:47Speaker 03

  And then Ally McCoys is like, fair enough.

• 32:49Speaker 02

  Fair enough.

• 32:50Speaker 03

  You get 72 laughs ahead of me because I'll probably catch up.

• 32:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:53Speaker 03

  Or to make it easier, I'm not allowed to do any puns or innuendos. Yeah, is that an even, is that an even game?

• 32:59Speaker 02

  And then Rory Stewart, Ally McCoys, Rory Stewart can, he's got a button, he can press his laugh whenever he wants.

• 33:05Speaker 03

  Rory Stewart and Ally McCoys, they're walking into a builder's yard.

• 33:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:12Speaker 03

  Rory Stewart's allowed to press the button. They go, did you see Man United last night? They were shit, weren't they? One nil to Stewart. McCoys like, okay, it's tough out here, let's go.

• 33:23Speaker 03

  Anyway, so yeah, I do, people keep asking my handicap, but I can't be bothered to get in. I basically just need to find people as shit as me to play.

• 33:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:30Speaker 03

  And then it's a fun game.

• 33:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 33:32Speaker 03

  So I played it with Tom Davis, which was really funny. He's slightly better than me though.

• 33:35Speaker 02

  So do you think you're going to be like, in five years, BMW Open or whatever it's called?

• 33:42Speaker 03

  Well, not, maybe the pro amateur, but not the actual.

• 33:45Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no, that's what I mean. So it'll be you and.

• 33:47Speaker 03

  I'd like to be able to go to a golf day.

• 33:48Speaker 02

  It'll be you and Ian Poulter.

• 33:50Speaker 03

  With Anton De Bec and Denise Lewis.

• 33:53Speaker 02

  Yeah, was she there?

• 33:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:54Speaker 02

  Oh, she's great.

• 33:55Speaker 03

  She was there.

• 33:56Speaker 02

  She's a real laugh.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  She's great, Denise Lewis.

• 33:59Speaker 02

  Do you know what?

• 33:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:00Speaker 02

  She's, she'd be one of my, I say this every Olympics, right? Michael Johnson.

• 34:07Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 34:07Speaker 02

  Denise Lewis, and I can't remember who the other one they have is, Gabby Logan.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 34:13Speaker 02

  I think that's maybe my dream.

• 34:15Speaker 03

  Lineup for athletics coverage.

• 34:16Speaker 02

  For, for sport, I think it's the strongest lineup.

• 34:19Speaker 03

  Yeah?

• 34:19Speaker 02

  I just think she's brilliant. Can I show you something, Rob?

• 34:22Speaker 03

  Yes, please. I was just, I wasn't being rude. I was just getting my notes. I was double checking what I've not mentioned. Must be stuff I've got to talk to you about my kids. I'm not supposed to.

• 34:29Speaker 02

  I packed my travel pillow.

• 34:31Speaker 03

  You packed your travel pillow?

• 34:32Speaker 02

  My travel pillow's still got the, um, fake tan.

• 34:37Speaker 03

  Oh, from when you, because it's worn off your fake tan?

• 34:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, you have to get it redone every week.

• 34:41Speaker 03

  So you slept on this in your, oh my God. It feels like a true crime podcast and that's evidence. It's like an oily sheen to it. So that came off your face?

• 34:53Speaker 02

  That came off my face.

• 34:54Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 34:55Speaker 02

  There you go.

• 34:56Speaker 03

  That is disgusting. And why have you not washed that pillowcase?

• 35:00Speaker 02

  Well, because I, I, this morning was like, fuck, where's the pillow? Oh, it's in the suitcase.

• 35:04Speaker 03

  Right, okay.

• 35:06Speaker 02

  You know.

• 35:06Speaker 03

  Are you gonna, you're gonna sleep on that tonight? What if it really applies to your face?

• 35:10Speaker 02

  So.

• 35:11Speaker 03

  Oh, God.

• 35:11Speaker 02

  Tell me about your kids.

• 35:12Speaker 03

  Oh, it was about the daughter, there was a thing where you, house, because they have like colours that they play for, like house teams.

• 35:19Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, like yellow, blue, red and green.

• 35:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, for sports day, they've all got a house, a form or house colour, I don't know what it's called. And then they obviously, so the whole school can be in sports day for that team. So, um, they're, they're picking, because she's in year six now, they're picking house captains for primary school. So if you're in year six, you're, you represent your team's colour for the whole school. So, uh, she came home the other day and she went, uh, actually the sister went, oh, she did it, she did it. I went, did what? Because she hadn't mentioned anything to me. She went, she put herself forward to be house captain and did the speech. I was like, whoa. But I think other people knew about this in advance, had put their name forward and then written a speech. I was like, all right. So what, what did you do? And she went, oh yeah, I just sort of made it up on the spot.

• 36:00Speaker 02

  Here we go. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

• 36:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, so I went, okay, well.

• 36:04Speaker 02

  Get her on.

• 36:04Speaker 03

  What did you do?

• 36:05Speaker 02

  Get her on GBB.

• 36:06Speaker 03

  She went, Great British, she went, well, I was not listening to it. And now basically everyone else was just saying all the things they're gonna do, like, I'll do this if I have, or I'll do that, I'll change this and I'll sort that. And then I just looked at all the little kids, because they're like reception. And I thought, they don't really care about that.

• 36:21Speaker 02

  Here we go.

• 36:22Speaker 03

  All they really want is you to say, if you're worried, come and speak to me, I'll look after you, smile at them and be nice, and then they'll vote for you.

• 36:30Speaker 02

  Do you know who she reminds me of, Rob? This is, this is.

• 36:33Speaker 03

  Nigel Farage?

• 36:34Speaker 02

  No, this is.

• 36:35Speaker 03

  Thought he was gonna get the.

• 36:40Speaker 02

  Two words.

• 36:41Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 36:42Speaker 02

  Gianni Infantino.

• 36:44Speaker 03

  Sorry.

• 36:47Speaker 03

  So my daughter reminds you of Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president?

• 36:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, because what he does, he knows, yes, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, they're the big teams.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 37:01Speaker 02

  But it's one country, one vote.

• 37:04Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 37:05Speaker 02

  So all he needs to do is have half the small coun- half the countries, the smallest half, backing him.

• 37:13Speaker 03

  And that's enough?

• 37:14Speaker 02

  That's enough. So he can, as long as he says we're going to expand the World Cup, there'll be more places for Africa, Asia, Oceania.

• 37:24Speaker 03

  Cause actually, as the kids were leaving yesterday, she was giving out sweets to the younger ones, saying, thank you for your commitment to the cause.

• 37:31Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 37:31Speaker 03

  Thank you for your support.

• 37:33Speaker 02

  There's a voting block here. These, these small votes are worth as much as the big votes.

• 37:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 37:39Speaker 02

  I don't need to appeal. I don't need to appeal.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  Appeal to everyone, just enough to get it over the line.

• 37:44Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 37:44Speaker 03

  And it worked and she's now, she's got a badge on, she's all proud. So there you go.

• 37:49Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 37:49Speaker 03

  So just, you know, little, you know, just early doors. Corruption wins.

• 37:53Speaker 02

  Corruption wins. No.

• 37:55Speaker 03

  No, she didn't corrupt. She just was very, she just thought, I'll give it a go. Was very proud of it.

• 37:58Speaker 02

  Head of house at our school when I was at secondary school.

• 38:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:01Speaker 02

  I didn't go for it.

• 38:02Speaker 03

  No?

• 38:02Speaker 02

  No. My friend Ian, who I'm still friends with, went for it.

• 38:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:07Speaker 02

  And he didn't win because one of the people he went up against did it while standing on his head.

• 38:16Speaker 02

  While having his, while having his ankles held by the previous head of house.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  So he held him up like that and then to like, look at me?

• 38:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:25Speaker 03

  And he got, and he got in?

• 38:26Speaker 02

  Cause we were, our school was quite big on dance. Well, strangely, considering where I've ended up, right? I've told you this before, that there, we had a, our head teacher, we were a comprehensive school.

• 38:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:38Speaker 02

  But our head teacher, who was, he was the mid nineties, he was very similar to Tony Blair, quite kind of, um, he was very good at getting funding. We became like a sports college and we got a new dance studio.

• 38:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:50Speaker 02

  And we had a bunch of boys that did a dance with bins that was very similar to Stomp.

• 38:55Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 38:56Speaker 02

  Called Controlled Freaks.

• 38:57Speaker 03

  Oh, and Blueface group?

• 39:00Speaker 02

  A Blue Man Group.

• 39:01Speaker 03

  Blue Man Group, sorry.

• 39:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, similar stuff. Anyway, dance was a big article. He was one of the main dancers. He did it.

  Well, this is a question, right? On the parents group, I don't think I'm talking out of school here, no pun intended.

• 41:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:06Speaker 02

  They're having a parent social.

• 41:07Speaker 03

  Oh, I did some actual proper parenting.

• 41:10Speaker 02

  Oh, did you?

• 41:11Speaker 03

  On the WhatsApp group, they said, have you got so-and-so teacher's email? I said, yes, gave it straight away.

• 41:16Speaker 02

  Here we go.

• 41:16Speaker 03

  Cause I'm the best one.

• 41:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's good.

  I'm the best. What's that? Logistics, admin, details?

• 41:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:22Speaker 03

  Come and see this guy, the ex-school rep.

• 41:25Speaker 02

  Really nice.

• 41:26Speaker 03

  Yeah. I feel like a politician on the comeback trail. He was sacked in disgrace and I just, I turn up and do a few like charity things. I'm Mandelson. I'm Peter Mandelson.

• 41:39Speaker 03

  He's not on the comeback trail, is he?

• 41:40Speaker 02

  No. There was a thing on the school parents group this morning.

• 41:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:44Speaker 02

  School parent social, who wants to meet up? Yeah?

• 41:48Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 41:50Speaker 03

  No, thanks.

• 41:51Speaker 02

  These were the options.

• 41:52Speaker 03

  You're all right. I'm all right, thanks.

• 41:54Speaker 02

  Well.

• 41:54Speaker 03

  You can't. So what?

• 41:55Speaker 02

  There was the option of I'd ra- he'd put quite amusingly, you know, I'd rather be eaten by sharks than do this or something like that.

• 42:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:01Speaker 02

  No one ticked that.

• 42:02Speaker 03

  No.

• 42:03Speaker 02

  You just stay silent.

• 42:04Speaker 03

  You just go, or you go, oh, sorry, can't make it, whenever it is.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  I want you to answer which one out of these three options.

• 42:10Speaker 03

  Did you go for?

• 42:11Speaker 02

  Four options.

• 42:12Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 42:12Speaker 02

  What would people prefer as the meetup? Weekday, four PM to eight PM, take the kids to the pub.

• 42:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:18Speaker 02

  And it's a parents.

• 42:19Speaker 03

  That's, that, that, at the moment, that's, I don't mind that idea, cause it's nice for the kids to see everyone.

• 42:24Speaker 02

  Friday, four PM to eight PM.

• 42:26Speaker 03

  Ooh, no.

• 42:28Speaker 02

  Weekday dinner from eight PM.

• 42:30Speaker 03

  Absolutely not, no.

• 42:31Speaker 02

  Friday dinner from eight PM.

• 42:33Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no, no. You know, just.

• 42:34Speaker 02

  Or I'd rather swim with sharks than hang out with you.

• 42:37Speaker 03

  No, I, I genuinely would. I don't really wanna, I don't wanna say the word waste. I don't really wanna spend a Friday night with a big group of.

• 42:45Speaker 02

  So you're going weekday?

• 42:46Speaker 03

  I'd go weekday, pick the kids up from school, take them to the pub, have a couple of drinks, get them fed, so you don't have to cook at home.

• 42:52Speaker 02

  So you're going weekday four till eight?

• 42:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, and I would do that. And I would, but I'd really respect that eight o'clock.

• 42:57Speaker 02

  The Friday is absolutely.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  Is it winning?

• 43:00Speaker 02

  No, weekday dinner's winning.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  They don't wanna go out with the kids?

• 43:05Speaker 02

  The weekday kids is on 10, weekday dinner's on 13.

• 43:09Speaker 03

  Ah, but they could do both.

• 43:10Speaker 02

  Two each for the Friday.

• 43:13Speaker 03

  Two, oh.

• 43:14Speaker 02

  And then zero for the sharks, cause no one's gonna reply that.

• 43:17Speaker 03

  No, I think midweek, four till, it's not for the nice kids.

• 43:20Speaker 02

  I think, yeah.

• 43:21Speaker 03

  Is this for your younger, your son?

• 43:22Speaker 02

  No, older.

• 43:23Speaker 03

  Ah, okay, cause that's normally a bit more social in the younger years.

• 43:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, but there we go.

• 43:28Speaker 03

  Anything else going on? Is there about, do you wanna do some?

• 43:31Speaker 02

  Let me tell you about parenting.

• 43:33Speaker 03

  Go on, you tell me what you've worked out. What's going on with parenting?

• 43:36Speaker 02

  The kids, my two children.

• 43:39Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm.

• 43:40Speaker 02

  They were not getting on for the last three weeks of the summer holiday. It is wild, the difference, isn't it?

• 43:49Speaker 02

  They like get on now.

• 43:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

  Right. Based in Petswood, covering Orpington and surrounding areas. I help busy parents whose life with their dog has become stressful. Pulling on walks, barking at other dogs, general chaos around the house, or families who've decided kids aren't hard work enough and are adding a puppy to the mix. I remember when you did that twice.

  It's insane.

I offer bespoke one-to-one training packages starting at your home that fit around your work, kids and busy lives. You can find me on Instagram at Nova Dog Training UK.
