Okay Rob Becket, What behe? And can you say Josh? Gosh Whidak come? Bh Whhead Very good Well done. Right, Howard actually Solid that Unless you tell me that's nine. Who's turning two on Sunday R gosh from the start, this is our girl Effie F F I E is that short for? F Well, Effie's beer, Turkish beer, that's what I think of and I think of Eie Do you have heard of that Eie's beer. you don't drink, but In a Turkish restaurant, if you order draft Efes Sometimes a bottle of beer comes with draft in on it Oh I don't think they've really understood that. Are you one of those people that cares whether it's out the tap or at the bl? Yes, I am Which is the one draft is God it's so dismissive So I feel like a little pauper just at the bottom of a hill while you stand there because I I can never decide. Do you know why I'd go for the the draft rather than the bowl? Yeah because there was more, it was a better value Right, I get that that really does explain your drink issues. Yeah, you'd get more for your money so you'd be more drunk. Yeah, maybe I've never look to you like that. I don't personersonally, I think we've discussed it before, a full pint is slightly too much sometimes, but I prefer it from the tap I don't really like bottled. Push me a corner, I'm going can over a bowl. I thought people that drunk btled beer were insane Anyone that went into a pub and ordered a bottle of beer, it blew my mind. Not for me not for me, but anyyway, sorry, Josh Harry Effi We are hopefully going to narrowly miss having two under two if I can avoid going into labour with our son on her app Our son on her birthday stay sex and relatable Rosie James and Effie from Teddington, Southwest London. Oh, imagine being pregnant in this heat, Rob. Oh immagine being pregnant ever, right guys? us dudes just don't get it Well Well we don't, be honest, looks absolutely shite. Awful Aful. I do think but some people like actually love being pregnant and it' are they just convinc themselves or are they willing? I know that were I a woman I would I wouldn't be one of those people that was embracing pregnancy because I like comfort. over feeling like, you know, my body's doing something miraculous. I'd rather just feel the right temperature You not have back pain And if you was pregnant, you just you'd put aside the miracle of Birth and making a baby because you like being comfy I can't get beyond you being a woman I think you'd look like a lovely, dependable sh. I don't think it look much different I'd think I'd look like a monster I' forget to say it's lucky that your parents had boys. M as a woman, I think would be really intense. Can I be honest? this morning? Oh come straight in with one of his sayings? I don't think I'm just looking at what I've written down. I've got so much stuff that's happened to us But I'm going to start by saying don't know where I decided this was a good idea H AM is the most insane records time I've ever picked I think you was pushing it as well. What a fucking error because the set the scene it's mean is wake up at seven. Yeah. Out the door out Why are you doing this now then? Eight thirty would doing better, wouldn't it? Exactly. In terms of no buffer life, it's absolutely insane. It's would be doing c exactly the moment that you just are like hustling the kids out of the building. Can can't you just walk downstairs? Let the roose go with the kids, you goalve back qu to away, walk in the kitchen, goes Were me cup of tea, babe, slapp her on the ar and sitting in here You got ten, fifteen to have a drink and get ready to perform You've got to, you know, you know the England team at the World Cup, they're not doing the score run, they're just focusing I know, but I get I'm getting results. Yeah, you are true. Yeah, what this is Middle of the heat wave it's thirty five today in the south of England and England drew Nil New Aana in a very Boring game have you got workcu fever Yeah, I love the World Cup I'm not I think it's because it's late at night. I've not got World Cup fever in the way I used to I'll be honest When I stopped drinking my World Cup fever changed. Yeah, ten pints really does help with fever. Yeah, it used to be. I wondered whether actually what I liked. was the excuse to get completely fucking smashed with my friends And now I quite happily watched England game on my own. Do you know what I mean? Well I am, at the moment, last night I watched England draw Neil Nil with Ghana eating a protein yogurt whil Lou went to bed early Exactly. I as feel this is a favor This isn't well c favor. This is comfy. But I can't invite him around Like the game the next game' is ten PM Imagine someone arriving at your house at ten PM to watch football. But. we'll be fighting it as they arrive, you in a caron like that hfa. What the fuck are they doing with that Come around to watch England pan Yeah No but I'm enjoying it. That's that's one If we get through there's a one thirty AM game honestly, I won't be able to watch it. I know because what am I gonna do set my alarm or stay up But then if you're go to bed at ten This is proathetic by the way Who are we? I remember when when the World Cup was in Japan And it was the end of my first year at university. and England played Argentina at seven AM And I started drinking at seven AM. That's, but that And then I went feel that's fine. Well, no, that's not fine, is it? It put it. Fingam were playing at seven AM I'd be listening to it on the radio while making pancakes. Oh I'd love it. I'd love it if it was seven AM. That'd be a great time. And I'd be searching the house for a pair of shoes while England scored. Do you know what I mean? I wouldn't be. No, if England played at seven A. I'd just say to the kids're not going to school. or he you died in light Oh, these poor fuckers whose school has been robbed It's been a smug old week for those of us that have moved out of London in the last year now. Some schools cancellled then. Mine mine they're going in at mine. They've cancellled, this annoyed me. I missed the last two sports days. yeah, last two years This year, I've had it in my diary for ten months. I actually contacted a comment that I've missed last two. Can you just give me at least a ninety percent idea what it would in a d I've add it in. I've had filming Robin Romish built around this day off so I could do sports day. Yeah. Get to it, cancel too op Fuck you Fuck you universe, fuck you So when is sports Day? Monday, can't do it for me, Robber Rummish. Amazing. Amazing. Absolutely It's Roman day today. My my daughter's dress as a fucking Roman Good weather for it. I know exactly But yeah, her old school in London's closed. Um which obviously I find hilarious. Yeahah, because you're very I'd say you're like the sooule campbell of transfer moves from the sical country where yeah, yeah, I love it. where Well Sol Campbell famously left Tottenham to join Asenal, their fierce rivals on a free and where some people, if they leave a cl or go somewhere they're quite respectful with it. If they score a goal, they don't celebrate. celebrate your. You're added by all. Yeah I'm running down the end. You're running down the end four and then doing a knee slide in sl. L cute I bet you're not even able to sleep under a fucking sheet because it's so hot I bet you're having to sleep naked on the mattress I know what hackney is like at the moment It is furious. Everyone is furious London is hot as well because of the tubes of the buildings Tubes or the buildings. London is the worst place in the sun It's likeing he's off I love it. K Honestly, Yeah, he's In my house here. Yeah, it's a bit hot I love the way you're pretending your house is like the Arctic. so ye. But I'll be honest with you. Yeah. It's nothing compared to when we lived in Hackney Oh my God. we're not having to close the curtains during the day. I think, well, you're not doing that now then, Is it not that hot where you are? Not too bad. No, it is hot outside, but our house doesn't heat up in the same way. ye Yeah, you've got big bigger wider windows. where' youre in a terrace house, you're getting heat from all sides. Oh you're getting heat from all sides, Rob And then and then the school closed at one thirty yesterday. so you're having to drive through the hckney traffic to get to school, to pick up a child that's coming home early And then I'll be honest, our friends who've still got kids at the school were like Yeah, they said they'll let us know what the score is with tomorrow or the next day.re like, it's fucking closeed, mate Don't let them have hope . Yer. y life, loveoly life down there. Well I'm not, Rob. No, such a fucking dramatic few days. G fuck me So on Thursday U my daughter broke her arm No Here we go. This is what people are l Right Is she okay. To be honest, you did tell me when I saw you last week, but then I forgot. So ye my response there was half genuine, half, oh yeah, I remember he told me last week, but I didn't get full details because we said we're going do it on here. First things first, is she okay? . she's fine. She's got a cast on We're going to the hospital on Friday to you know to see when it comes off stroke, whether you can get a short cast, all this kind of stuff It's over the elbow at this point Yeah. Oh, not over the That's the funniest one in it over the elbow. I mean, it looks rubbish. She's taking it very well It's her right hand, but she's actually turns out she's quite good with her left hand now. She can write with her left hand, it turns out. Well, do you know that's what happened with Shaye Warne Is it? Day Morne broke I think it broke both his ankles as bad injured his legs. So for about six months when he was about three or four, he had this little like trolley thing that His mum and dad put he uses hands to pull himself around ight outside of it. that's why he's got had such strong wrists and hands and big hands because he's spent You know So maybe you might have a what you know, she unbelievable leftft handed spinbowler You theyre good. You needem Yeah, of course, especially you know, you know, in India on those dusty tracks. those are they're the bowlers that you need. anyway play cricket. Id just the bolt oning out Yeah and I saw it was behind the stumps. Ione, yeah, like that. was the only one there And then The people taking the scores, the emmpire was like because they could't quite see. So they said to the other girl Did it bounce off your leg or did it bounce off the stumps? She went Lg No, but what do you mean? No, but that's still ALBW. Well either way, I saw it come off this stump. She said come of a leg. But you could argue it's only LBW if it's definitely So I think with LBW they give it out LBW? No, it's quite that's quite a big concept to give them at this stage of their curricul.orrect.. So I think they were like, I've hit your leg, then we'll just let that But I was like, it got the stumps. And she was buzzing and I was like Don'tna start kicking off But you d is that inside I did, but I did not held myself out past I But also had that kid. Now I hate that kid forever Yeah of course.

I was like, Well I'd rather not win I'd rather not win the Super Bowl 't Be hit into by lots of people and have a manager who's basically bullying us. Yeah and be unhappy seven days a week. Be unhappy seven days a week then I get to win Yeah. But is he happy now Well, I don't know. I know because he's obviously just madly competitive, but sees that as a good thing, but you're just like Anyway, I don't know why I was saying that. Ohh yeah, yeah, just sports where they just hurt each other. Well I think Christian Ronaldo I saw him on you know, he didn't score in the first game. this is a very well cup heavy but he didn't score in the first game but then Messi did his great rival who he refuses to talk about in interviews when anyone brings it up U and also and backpay's been scoring Harland Kaine So like these are the big players that worldor Cp In his second game, Ronaldo scored two I just walk off the pit.

She's always got her kidneys flushed or whatever it is But The kidneys flush isn't that she's ill, it' it's keeping her ey out Well exactly, but then, you know, how much do you do that I'm saying.

I'll be honest. my friendst I won't name them, but we are in absolute profit with Beryl Are you the kind of person that when if when or if Berrel passes In this cross now She won't never die. Would you phone in sick from work or not do a recording? No, You would't be that kind of person. No. I'm not that guy So Friday me you do a pilot in the blazing heat for eleven hours. That was fun though. I enjoyed that. That was really fun But then I've got to get back from Canterbury to Lond, Canterbury to Exeter explain what we're probably not that explaining what it is it's still in the papers basasically, the pilot is me and Joshua arrive, I arrived in Canonriver at eight AM. I think you were there the night before? Yeah, I. Stayed overnight And then we basically in the morning, us and some other famous people get these giant balls, like like inflatable balls and we have to get them from one part of Canterbury to another. the idea of the shows is you move around the country gun to different places and you have to move it around and there's loads of little gam. like a Saturday night fun family TV show. veryery stapstic, very silly. and it was Exhausting. We did sixteen thousand steps pushing this ball around and running around and it was thirty degrees And by the end of it, I had sweat marks where it was all white around my teh and back where the st would come in my body. I couldn't walk for two days after. But it was fun to do, but it was exhausting. Anyway My car doesn't make it through because of a fire on the M twenty five. So we finished at seven o'lock, did we? six o'clock? Yeah. I got back at eleven thirty Rob, I did something bad on the tryine What did you did done the shine? I was so fucked I was so tired And there was no one near me in my carriage And I was on single seat with a single seat opposite table table, but just singles. No one name in the coodach here Facing forward I always face backwards. That's that I've told you I mean you askport Yeah, I know that could It's so funny that what we are solute chalk and chaser can only go forward. with' discuss this, Carriry. I know. That's not just on a train, that's enl life. Empty carriage, you've chose single seat backwards arguably the worst seat On an empty carriage, you might't go f for It's not single seat with a seat in front of you. It's single seat with a facing seat, No, but I'm saying it's on a completely empty carriage. You might roll the dice and take a fourth seat then someone might sit on the floor with me for No, But that would be insane. If someone if you're in there on your own, you can go four seat to table. and then if someone else comes in, they can go single seat. If they come on the four seat If they come all s as well, if they do come in the f seat, there's nothing wrong with you going, this is mental, I'm going single. What's wrong with you? And they shifted. So I did something bad I went shoes off R Feet up on the opposite seat. Socks on or off. Socks on I think socks off unacceptable sockcks on due to the level of tiredness, I'm going I'm going to let you off this time. Good, good, good, good good. And you take your shoes off, that's fine Soorry Sults must have Oh my god I genuinely I don't know what you look like because we didn't see each other much due to the former I genuinely couldn't have gone into public looking how I look. I'd been rescued from the street. Yeah. it was I'd gone missing for two days and. I was was so tired I was so tired In the next tie Gs stight up Barrels go missing then Go around a friend's house. Um And then , I did work I've watched some of the rugby Oh no o. You're gonna be a ex a chief's fan soonight? It was a chief. goo chief. No I'm not a chief's fan I got loads of rugby posth rugby boates No have we do. Who are your friends? Who's your friends? This is the weird thing about where I live. It's the one negative t talk about rugby. Like it's a sport. Like it's an equivalent of football. I'd have to just go shut out everyone. I've never heard this before, but you'll go A you enjoying the Wor Cup Oh I'm more a rugby person so what conversation end It's like saying, Do you like the Beatles? No, I'm more into S Club seven. Yeah, I like DJ Otzy Yeah, what is fucking going on How do you know these people These are just everyone. looads of people are into rugby It's mad. So are they are these people? Be the chiefs are huge, Rob No they're not We're not in the wider world, but theyre they're one of the best teams. So I'm cursed with living in a city Yeah. they're essentially like Your son or daughter might play rugby. No, they're not going. I don't think it's going to sit your doaght. She she's struucted with a cartwheel I don't need a Joe Marler type running at her So the exitchiefs are on their Instagram. they're the big club in So was it a big game though Was it a final or something Yeah, it was the final of the rugby Piss' fine. these new school friends.

You can't the only way to double check your fully cleaned is sniff but I'd say roll the dice, finish it off when you get home. Then I finish it off flush. St up and the light comes on. Unbelievable moment For some reason finally I've activated the movement sensd light So then I go back in. 's got to stay in So then they phone us later Fluffalls fine. Yeah they said, I can't explain what's happened. Is her heart mment' gone. It just would never happen normally like this Uh Okaykay, I I've want a bit more info That's why we're returning to the heart specialist Tuesday. Make sense. So take her into the heart spepecialist yesterday Everything's totally fine. No one can explain what the pantting was But they think it's probably the halt weather So who introduced the Hk murur thing No there was a heart murmur anti relate hard Brian is I think she basically had a panic attack because the heat.

They lay their eggs in the window Oh and then they all and then you open the window and go out They lay their eggs in the window in winter or whatever, and then when it's hot, they all hatch at the same time and suddenly you've got custom b eyes. So you just open the window and they'll go. Yeah, we didn't know that for a day. We couldn't open the window. What did you mean you didn't know that? Well we did know that. we didn't We couldn't open our window so we had to get the window. We didn't know how to open the window because it was locked. you know when a window's locked, We've never open the window, have we I'm still sleeping on the floor, by the way Like this is No Father's Day.

You're not gonna are you No, oh, this is the other thing. What's the food t haveave you got f?s holiday books and she's got broken arm and the holiday is all about the pool Oh no, blesser It's just and you're just like That's just gonna be so hot and sweaty. So hot and sweat You know, or do you know what she just got into Minecraft A, ye, my dght. you love that? Yeah. It's good isn't it It's better than rooblox, I don't like rooblo Be it's like educational, they're like building stuff and stuff. Yeah, but sort your privacy out. There's always a pay don' l I she does social media. She's got this edkay. Oh yeah My friend his twelve year old came home and said have you heard the news case Star has banned the internet He's gone now anyway. He's gone now anyway. Andy Burnnamo reverse it. How do you feel about the social media band Int it, I think, well me, I'm absolutely addicted to My social media apps, so is Louu. We're setting a terrible example for the children. If anything, they're setting a better example for us Adults need to do something about it. I think years to go, people look back at photos of everyone with their neck all bent up, with their arm bent up, looking at their phone for hours and hours Yeah likeike we look at photos of people on the tube smoking thing is absolutely awful for your mental health and your happiness I've actively got to sort that out. I think it's a really good idea. Obviously, you can just go people will get round it and get VPN's, but then you know when I was twelve, people would pay older kids to buy cigarettes.'s always. You might as well not ban anything 'use you might as well go, well, people will get round it with murder because they'll manag to They'll manage to commit a murder without any evidence, of just a drive It's not allowed.. It's not allowed. It's allowed It's's rules, actually murder It's about what it fucking does to your brain about this endless scroll about this how I feel when I go on social media versus how I feel after I've left and how it tends social social circles, people liking comments, not like you're liking, all those things. I think that's more toxic than this A we're just protecting them for that reason. Can't we just put Can't we just do normal social media but with Tighten contls on peds It's not about that No, it's more, I think your child are probably more at risk of bad mental health and sort of peer group problems than im mediia pedo but obviously is that But I think I think it's u I think it's a really good thing. I think I feel a bit bad to certain parts of YouTube, like if it's quite a a good creator that's heart's in the right place and all that bit it's like there's so much but they keep YouTube not kids, right? Yeah. so I think it forces creators and YouTube to be a bit more and disciplined with content of stuff as opposed to just see what I can get away with. But like when they got my thoughts have been on like the reels and stuff or the YouTube shorts. you just get they it just drages you ' aw you didn't even search for it in the first place. So I yeah, I think it's a really good thing the ban. Yeah. So so that is our viewpoint. Next on the agenda, Jeremy Dooku Belgiian Fber his wife is pregnant and he said he's going to leave camp of course if the baby if the wife goes into labour. I think yeah fear. Do that tellell you who probably wouldn't think that. Tom Brady because he takes sport too seriously. A you really gone out for Tom Brady, haven't y you Well, I just found him unbearable. You hate American things as well. No, do you know what? I don't hate American things. I like a lot of American bands Fair enough, who's your favorite American band U LCD sound system They American. Yeah, they're from New York. Weould you just talk about Michael's hotel room in America? Oh my Godd, yeah. Oh no I was going to talk to you about I'll save these for the next one, Rob. Do you want to hear about Paddingon the musical Yes Or do you want to hear about my daughter getting into the World Cup What Do you want to hear about me getting a wallet A you gonna hereere's another one. And these are all trails for next time I've had a session with a running coach A well, The first pick for that would be you getting a wallet, but I think because it's World Cup fever, maybe you're all getting the World Cup. I can raise you a couple of things that I've got here.'ve Oh man a horrible man of Victoria station Yes, please I can give you that now quickly if you want. Just walk along g shouts at All her rock lace is up midnight on a Saturday Oh you Hello, you're right? a bit drun fair enough, he's bit ld but whver he's shock to see me turn al. Well Iate you, you live in Portdsmouth No, no, I don't live in Ports I'm going back to problem with. fucking don'tve in Ports Look, the Victoria Station goes to so many different places Yes, but I think what I'm learning about people is that people are very much in their own world and everything revolves around them, which is understandable. but just assumes that if he's going there from that station then Sami I'd argue even if I was born in Portsmouth, I probably wouldn't live in Portsmouth, no shade on Portsmouth, but there are lots of other places in the world and also terrible for logistics if you're trying to be a comedian So I'll go, No I'm not P to. He went, o okay. the're walking longg Youes, can you setle an argument between me and my girlfriend and his girlfriend's sort walking with him but two steps away, sort of not enjoying this interaction Do I have to? There's a bit like it's quite awkward to settle and, you know, also we're just like walking, I'm like we're in motion I went, Oh, went do I after I dont want to get involved in, you know, domestics And he went, Oh yeah Bically She's it and not in front of her And I just Stove, I didn't laugh. I think he thought I was going to laugh O that. And I' have said, That's just not a nice thing to say But like deadly serious like that. Yeah, reallyally It felt awkward to do, but also felt. she react She said Yes, you are right. It is a horrible thing to say. Iin sw I went left, I went right Hing Did it look like they were having a really big argument and they hated each other It looked like he was a drunk idiot She Long suffering girlfriend, probably close to tapping out of the relationship or they've maybe got a couple of kids She wasast gonna to get back to Portsmouth first Yes, but she was a bit more switched on and look more sober. I imagine he wanted to go and do something that she thought wasn't the right thing to do and was more sober and measured and mature and he was throwing his toys at the pr. But if that was my daughter and I saw that interaction, I would say Leave them. I've never in my life, I've been absolutely paralytic, drunk I've never said anything close to us al as that. No, just to my wife Lou Well she's my wife. But Not even like in private. never mind to a complete stranger in front of everyone on a platform in Victoria. And I was like, that is awful.
