Speaker 1 (00:17):
The seventeenth episode of Manhood is this one? It? So
it's tea, is it? We never actually say what number
is when we start. I don't know why I did that.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Then, because to go in a relaxed form and I'm
in no way of relax right now.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
To paint a picture for you, we're currently in Tom's
back garden. He has been trying for about two hours
to light a barbecue the charcoal one take. We've had
Bradford City on in the background. That's the team we support,
and they've just won. It's got a last minute winner,
which come on, is very Bradford City and not very
Brafford City at the same time. But the baton is

(00:51):
not letting us down. So we're in a good mood.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
But because you're in a good mood, I'm not because
when you feel like I'm anxious.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Well yeah, because we're in Tom's back garden and he's
watching the kids and they playing football and they keep
shouting Dad.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, I've just said there's like a bit of rant
to Domina asked it. I can't do a podcast with
kids here. It's literally impossible. One of them wants me
to pump up a football even wants me to show
it live score.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
On the phone. I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I can't be Abby. Is Abby's on the last in Halifax. Okay,
I'm one of those dads where you're at home and
your wife's out getting drunk.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Call day, I've just seen a gray hair on your head.
I've got loads all down here. This is unbelievable anyway,
kicking man when he is down. It's interesting that Tom
should be feeling that way now because we did discuss
this week that the topic might be our relationships with
our dads. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Dad, if you're listening, turn off. But no, it's it's
It's good.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
You've got a good relationship with your dad, don't you.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, I've got I've got like a really good relationship.
I don't think I've ever had a bad one. I
think I think we'd both agree with with lack of
emotion sometimes, me and my dad. That's where you get
it from, you know, I remember, you know we've only
just dropped the handshaken Christmas morning, Merry Christmas?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Now we do we do a hug a lot more?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah? I don't get a lot of cuddles with my dad.
Actually maybe I should do? You get a handshake and Christmas, Yeah,
handshaking a cigar?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
No, but does he not hug you Merry Christmas son?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, I don't know. I hugged my dad when I
went to theres to tell him that me and SUSI
were splitting up and did he did? He was? It?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Was it a comfortable Was it like hugging a wardrobe?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
I don't know. The weird thing is I was watching
old family videos Christmas and still like Christmas videos and stuff,
and I'm hugging my dad. Lords when I was a kid,
I don't remember doing that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I think we used to wrestle. But the thing we
should wrestle talent for that's like a hugging it. Yeahav
you should play for your dad.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I think that's really That's really important for development, is
play fighting.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah. Well, when you watch those David Attenborough things, there
are those lion cubs always fighting with their dad, aren't they? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
And dogs always fight with a little puppies. It's raining
And he used to give us. We used to get
chim pie chin pie used to get chimpie. What's that
chimpie is where you've got a stubble and he'd rubby
stubble on your phone. Yeah, and essentially actually give you
quite a bad rash.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I remember, CHIMPI did you ever get smack bump? You
know what?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yes, one hundred percent with my mum, and I swear
I got slipper warmed up slipper on radio?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I got I got a smack bum but from sent
me on straight and narrow from Never, my mum, that's weird,
my mom. I don't. I don't naughty. Still, who had
the shortest fuse? Seen the size of my dad's ant?
Didn't it? Was it? Never? I mean my dad could
put his hand, But who.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Had the shortest fuse? That's usually who I did this smacking?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, I don't know if any of them have got
a short fuse. Really, my mum's got a terrible fuse.
It's just it was just like if I was naughty
and like that was the way, what would you get
smack one for? Yeah? Have you done?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I know what I got one for? And see if
it was anywhere near min I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'll have been like making a mess of stuff for
drawing chalk on driveway or something I shouldn't have done.
That's not bad. We actually we actively promote them to
I was using an example that I don't know if they.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Actually sell kids chalks now basically just graffiti your I
don't think I ever actually drew with chalk on a driveway.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I was just trying to think of something where what
i'ld have been told off. I can't.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Once I hid in a tree that was hanging like
a over a road and as cars drew drove past
our squirt and who are super Soaker? And one car
I hit right on the windscreen and she slammed on
and went in and told my dad. I think I
got badly told off then crashing gut whiplash. Yeah, I can't.
I can't really like SMA bum minute. I can't remember,
but I definitely got him in shouted.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's hard, like I think, like when to be specific,
how you know you just forget. The only time I
remember is I got a packet of tissues and I
set fire to them on the back doorstep or what
was the front doorstep, but they are on the back.
I took on to the front of the doors and
set fire to this pack of tissues. And I must
have been six that that's young in it. Yeah, and

(05:02):
my mom just went up. She literally she went spare
as they say spare, and she chased me around the
house and the family members there, and she she caught
me the I used to laugh, made off, and she
gave me the biggest crack.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
It were like, proper, did you sit you down in
front of your uncle Phil gets on fire safety tips?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, because he wasn't. I've actually, actually I've got a
proper uncle Phil. That uncle Phil is a fake Uncle Phil.
I've adopted Uncle Phil. You know, younger, you get auntie,
your uncles aren't actually uncle?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, Like, why how are you.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Uncle dom to my my children?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Weren't it? I thought you might have tried to force
it on. He just looks at me like absolutely no,
it's I do. I don't, I do, I do. I
don't mind that. I don't mind it at all.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Can you you need me to help with the barbecue?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's fine? But yeah, I think just growing up, my
dad realized that me and were going to be quite
different because he's really a history and and I was
really in a sport. And it's just Tom's wondering off
of you. Mid mid anecdote about my childhood.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Where the phone I found it going, give me, give
me your so.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I just grew up to be different to my dad.
Was really in a history. I want that into sport
or anything.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But can you be into history? Because you you'd like history?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Now do you like it? Now? Yeah? You took us
eating like you was shown. I retained a lot of
useless information, but you did.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
You find it hard then to relate to the stuff he.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Was when I was a kid. Yeah, but now now
I'm obviously grateful. I was telling you about plants and
guarding it when you were you were telling me about
Bloody every eighth and Queen Elizabeth, like Queen Elizabeth read
on that tree and this is where Henry the eighth
grew up, like Leeds Castle and stuff like that. I
get dragged around all these and now now I'm grateful
for it.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
But I think it's if you don't fully if you're
not fully immersed in it.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
That sounds like to me.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
And I'm not giving shouting to discredit at all, because
he's a lovely man, but it sounds like to me
that you had to enter his world.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah. Yeah, he did try to play football, but we
play football. I can't really remember. It's weird though, because
he grew up in like a football household. My granddad football.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
And your brother is your uncle's brother was his brother? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Who yeah me to that's where I got the bug
from from him. My dad never took me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, see my dad every game and that's where with
Andy and my best mate uncle Tim, and that we
went to every single game, So we had that in common.
I think if I hand had that other than him
dragging at my football.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
You are really different to your dad, do you think, Yeah,
I my mom. Personality wise you different. Yeah, I think
you're more like your mum.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, I mean we do get on now, well your dad,
your dad's more like me, and that your dad don't
suffer people that.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well was he?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
No, he don't mess allhereas my dad is very personable
right and like Madad runs a garden center. He loves
talking to all that. He quite sociable. Your dad, Yeah,
but again he's quite fussy. But then in business, my
dad was very personable.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Personal in business and everybody likes everyone like my dad.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
In business, they all they all bought there is a
dad would so well it because they all bought from him,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, My dad does just love being knocking around in
his garden by himself though.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
And I actually don't think there's a perfect dad, is there.
I think if I think now that when they're older,
they're going to remember me as like the memory is
shouted at me because we're trying to a podcast for
his mate and he won't put the pump in the ball.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
That's literally what they're going to say.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
We have good dads, don't we. We've got good relationships
with our dads.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Can ye are hi? Everybody talking to the Hi dog
said to me, it's a bit awkward. I said, what,
what's the awkward thing done?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I've been a for the ticket to Man City are
still and not really bothered. I want Arsenal to win league.
But whatever, Well it's Robed that's offered a mite. The
the rob. When we mentioned a Robin.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
The podcast is Rob, Yeah, the one who walked come
on to walk come on?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
And I went yeah, and I went, all right, well
whatever not they bothered you tickets, it's for me. It's
the obvious invite dom signal. I've got commitments. Wives, wives, wife, family, kids,
makeags a bit younger, whatever you know, businesses And I
thought don's the obvious invite here, not gonna hold a
good not gonna be bothered. And Dom're like, oh, yeah,
it's fine. You know, it's in hospitality.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
So I'm thinking, to be fair. Rob said to me,
it's in a hospitality, so you've got just someat casual.
So I thought, well, hospitality, that'd be nice. And I'm
there with yeah, I'll get to watch a good game
of football. It's a big game at the top of
the Premier League. It'll all be brilliant. And then I
get there and it is. I feel like I've walked
in a Willy Wonkers chocolate factory. So like that must
be what it felt like, because I get there and

(09:58):
we're ushered in, like we're the number one VIPs on
planet Earth.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Like what do you think Rob was like one of
the biggest in that box in terms of fame?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Well I don't. Yeah, yeah, I think he's big at
the minute, isn't it. That's the thing. Yeah, So anyway,
I get there. As I get there, I'm introduced to
Blossoms the band.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, casually just introduced to the Blossoms.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Seem to be fair.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Bosoms are famous, but they've got one banger aunt there
maybe two, No, I think I think they've got quite
a few bangers name three, Yeah, get away.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Do you learn these from? No, I didn't. I'd listen
to them, I granted, I'd not. And then way home
from the banger banner, yeah, I got listen to lovely
lads really like down to earth. They were out stop
pop with their Man City fans and you just face
it must be through soccer am or something. But anyway,

(10:53):
just to think they were just part of the group,
like nice lads having good chat about Brafford City mostly
and stuff like that. And then we go in and
it's a it's a box for a listers. Basically Love
Islanders are getting turned away at the door for this box.
So I get, I get is true actual Love Islanders.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, there were a couple of did you recognize where
they were from?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah? They were just well tanned and had nice teeths
and is. But anyway, so I get there and we're
one of we're the first few in the in the
box and I look at the table and there's name
tags on and one of them says Steph Auten, former
England Captain, Man City Captain Stephen Darby's wife Jill Scott,
European Championship winner with England.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's so funny conversations jungle and yeah, well she kept
referring to it as the jungle, as jungle here.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, oh he's my friend from Jungle.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, just slightly also incredibly lovely woman like introduce herself
to me. And then when she was leaving, she made
sure to come and say bye.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
All these smil questions. But how tall was Jill Scott? Yeah,
quite tall. I'm six foot two, maybe a bit shorter,
very slim, six foot anyway, come on, I'm building up here.
I'm interested. So then we get to our table. It's
got one for Rob Beckett and friends. So that's you know, me, Lloyd, Rob,
and then Rob's mate James Soon of a nice bloke.
And then the table opposite is No Gallagher. And I

(12:18):
start melting and said. I turned to Rob and I said, mate,
you're gonna have to can me down. I don't think
I've got a bit. I noticed this. I don't know
if I can take it. This is unbelievable. So then anyway,
I'm waiting to catch a glimpse of No Gallagher. It
comes in. Lovely bloke introduces him, but into it comes in,
it starts in their eyes.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Well, this box is like obviously like the seats on
the ground next to the ground.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
So it's a nice enough bloke, but you know, it
says the hellos. And then he's interested in going out
to stadium, he's got TV commitments whatever. So I'm looking
around talking to people, and then I see on our table,
the table next to where I'm sitting, So on our table,
there's a label next to me that says ted la
so on. Oh for good. It doesn't say ted last,
it doesn't say yeah, okay, I took it home. It

(13:04):
definitely does the name of the actor. He said ted
lass on it. Three of them, so they didn't right
and with you. So they didn't call coach Beard. Yeah,
oh god ted Lasso himself, Jason said, Arkis and Jimmy
and Jamie Tart and they were sitting on my table. Again,
you won't even believe they were famous or actors or anything.

(13:25):
Came over high I'm Jason. My message me.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
So Dom just messaged me, and it was really like,
in a minute, where are you? I think you just
put like you're gonna hate this.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, and then your first time you're so desperate the
first time you did it while driving?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Can I just say, I'm not that boy by famous people?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I really are.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
You've seen me before when we approach on Davis and
said hello, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
They're all human beings ended day and.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Like I want I don't I want that bothered or
like I'm playing fire aside a cat go. I think
what what annoyed me is the upper tunity for this
podcast to absolutely schmooz the ass off No Gallagher to
see that.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, you're right, it's not about fame. It's about looking
up to people that have achieved incredible things. I mean, no,
Galagery probably the most success you've literally met.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
He is people's people's hero. Yeah, I mean ted Lass
was not Nuby's hero either.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
No, it's just like it's the heat of them. He's
a famous gn at the moment. Yeah, it's Teddy and
I are literally midway through watching it, so it's good timing.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
But no, galagh is he is literally like legendary status.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
And as much as I say, I don't mind it's
first people that that got me a bit, it could
to get to.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Me, mate. I couldn't believe it. I felt like I
was in a fever dream. Everywhere looked there were people
fever dream Yeah, it was so weird. Anyway, it's relaxed,
like everyone's normal. I was speaking to Jimmy Tart for ages.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I'm gonna call him Jimmy Tart on this, but his
real names Phil confused thing.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
It don't look like a field, No, no he's not.
He's also not from Manchester, it's got it's from Hackney.
And he's an FC Wimbledon fan and he got round
to being in an wimble and fan for a really
unusual route, just because he loves watching YouTube and he's
stumbled upon a channel of a guy who plays as
Wimbledon on FIFA and done it. It's all the money
he makes from YouTube to sponsoring Wimbledon and this Jamie

(15:14):
Tarp and then started. So he's followed woman for about
eight years. He must he must have. It was the
nicest I'd say, have everyone I met that night. He
was the nicest. Get him on the pocket. Yeah, I've
followed him on on the Twitter. I'm praying for the
follow back. Midle start. Yeah he's still three days later.
Then it gets worse, so we get you know that
I've still got my childhood nineties football cards, so I

(15:37):
took all the Arsenal Man City players that are from
the It's like in the ninety five ninety six season.
And when I get there, see.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Paul Dickov and I'm like, oh my god, this isn't
believe I've got his card in my pocket.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
I'll try to meet him. We get invited to the
Puma box. Puma, I have got this box full of celebrities,
loads who I don't recognize. There's the Man City Ladies
team in there. Blind me what I actually I was
a red hot blooded man.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I actually, yeah, I actually fell in love with the
Man City goalkeeper.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't tell you. I don't if I'm kidding myself that
we made eye contact or not, but I thought we did.
I thought we caught each other's eye. Yeah. Probably. And
then when she's eighteen, quick google to find out what
her name is and she's that same birthday, twenty third September.
That's weird, sounds quite exciting good, but yeah, she's twenty
three and I'm thirty six year old.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
I'm sure we've discussed the agent thing on this podcast before.
I don't think it might if I now maybe on
the episode I did thought it match, Sure did.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Anyway, she's lovely looking. I imagine I had a girlfriend.
You could have a kick about shots against Yeah, I'll
be amazing when Anyway, so we get invited in there.
Sean got us in there. Paul Dickov's in there. See
these are quite like these are still quiet but.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
For a nineties football fan, if you're a Man City fan,
Sean got his legend.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, I'm walking in there with Rob Beckett, who's a
you know, he's a famous guy. Now he's like a
recognizable guy. So everyone's cloring after him and stuff like that.
And Rob's looking after me, is making sure that yeah,
you know, I'm all right and stuff like that, because
obviously this is mad, you know, and people the whole
time we're asking him for picture and stuff like that.
It's crazy. Anyway, we watched the game. It's a brilliant game.
I mean, of all games to be invited to. But

(17:19):
at the top of the table Clash where Man City School,
I get to see early halland in real life Kevin
de Bruyner Golden Look. Anyway, the game, the game pans out,
the whole match I'm just looking around the box, going,
I can't believe I'm watching Man City with No Gallagher,
can't believe I'm watching it with Just Scott, can't believe
I'm watching it with Steph Out and can't believe on
what like Ted Lassoy's there, Jamie Tarts there.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
It is an incredible box. I think like, like I say,
I want that boat.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
You know That'start.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Looking at the pictures, I think for me, if if
like Backstreet Boys had been there, a West Life, I'd
have been a busted my idols.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, I would quite like to if it.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Would be there, it would No Gallagher, definitely, he's out
there on his own.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I would have been on my list of people wanted
to meet. Musical is there?

Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I think Ted Lasso, yeah, you've been watching it
kind of, he's very famous. Blossoms same, you know, I
think I've seen Robert had been like, oh my gosh, Robercket.
But for me, they're saying, never meet your heroes. But
back to West Life, these bands that he grew up loving.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Ensing I went on a date with a girl who
knew West Life. She was from Sligo in Ireland. Did
you know one of them. She'd done a musical when
they were in six form or some with Shane Greece.
She was sounding right, there's another guest. Watch me just
melt on microphone. Yeah, I don't know if I can.
Communications may have broken down there anyway, So carry on.

(18:43):
The night goes on amazing, Yeah, And then so afterwards
we hang around for a bit, you know where where
I won't say a party because I won't even drink it,
but we're hanging around and you know, we're talking to
his people. We then go over to Nolan. We're talking
to Nola. I talked to him about Bradford City in
the nineties and hour used to be better than man
sitting And I can't believe the contrast now that we're

(19:04):
the same pretty much in there this.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, like two leagues down when we were in the
Premier League, weren't they like.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
When the season we went up? I can't remember exactly,
but anyway, it was. I couldn't believe I was talking
to no Gallagher about this stuff. Did you did you say?
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (19:20):
What do you say to him? Did you mention the podcast?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
No? Is that? Why is it embarrassing for you? Now? Too? Scared?
Because then you look like you're like just another guy
wanting if you said.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
To him, no, come on this POxy podcast by two
Norther guys talking nonsense. What's he honestly going to say?
What's the worst? Going to say no and walk away
here to embarrassed Robert. Yeah, anyway, we were just having
a nice conversation. We were standing there.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Was Rob Lloyd, me and Rob's friend James standing with
No Gallagher, just talking about life, chewing the fat.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
You want to write you must have been thinking about
the next thing. We were just having a chat. Yeah,
I mean obviously I'm thinking you're talking football thankfully the
table and it was like, oh what do you do?
And I was like, I'm a comedian.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
A Lloyd's like, I'm an opera singer and a comedian
and social actors and I'm like, I do the social
media content and with a musical genius.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Anyway, it was nice and then Rob, I didn't want
to be embarrassed ask him for a picture with old Gallagher,
so I went, oh, no, do you mind if me
and my mates have a picture.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's quite good? Yeah, yeah, good. And then we all
got to realize how you got on the picture. Then
well no, because I was gonna I was Alda. I
said to Rob, there's no I'm leaving without a picture
in old Gallagher. But I know Rob wanted one as well, definitely,
but it would it would.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Have been kind of it'd be better for Rob just
to have Robert Knowle kind of dilute it.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, it was middle. I was the one who
got to stand next to know as well from the
scripts looking a bit rough. It was amazing. Someone someone
thought was a curricat someone came up and asked for
a picture Currica and and I said, who do you
think I am? And went, you know, I can't remember
what name he said, and I went, no, man, I
don't play cricket. Yeah, no life. Yeah, anyway, it was amazing.

(20:57):
And then the Puma and ASA. He had this night
club and then a party went.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
A nightclub was an actual night club, was at an
event space like a nightclub. But yeah, it probably is.
It's like a pre match.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Back, is it. There's no natural da like it's literally
it's black, pitch black.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
And it's just full of sleds. They imagine, not the
ones I'd recognize if they were there were being like
love Islanders and that and Rob when you went downstairs
and they weren't necessarily anyone more.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Famous, no no, no, no, no no no. They were
like sort of like your maybe his list. A few
ZED listers were in there.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I mean, I appreciate being on the ZED list, thanks
sorry much, but no, it was I honestly.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Can't stop looking at the pictures.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I can't stop thinking about about Eli Roebuck.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Oh Dom. Just get on podcasts, you're not promoting and all,
we're all sorted. I feel like we made eye contact
at all, and she was eating a good feed as.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, So whilst you're off gallivanting, that's same night. I
don't know if it's linked. I don't know if it's
linked to the the trauma I went through in jealousy
I had.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Do not have night terrors? Do you know this? You've
told me before like a.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Child, and I basically I woke up to Abby snorting
like a pig and what the hell's going on? So
apparently what's happened is I've had a night terror because
I used to have.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
I use of.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Nightstairs like there's a bird on the pillow or an insect,
and a night terror that there was a pig, a
little pig in the room. And I remember dreaming about
this and it was on the bed and it would
try to bite me. And so when you have a
night terror, it's like you're awake to the person next
to you in bed or you've gone to So I
was like, what's going on, what's going on? And she
knows when I'm a night terror, and I'm like, it's
a pig. Here's a pig in the room. Get rid
of the pig. Get with the pig out. So instead

(22:45):
of like saying it's okay and pat me, she starts
doing she starts snorting like a pig.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
That's that is great. So I was just like, sot,
did you supposed to wake people up? To walk up
and complete shocking night?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
And what's going on? She's just laughing at off. It's
just like just picking the room. I said, I remember night.
He was not supposed to do like that. And it's
been a wild night to her. And I'm wondering if
something it is linked to jealousy.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I did feel bad the whole time I was there,
said that first. I felt really guilty. I ended day.
I think I got over it, though, So I think
you I.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Think you were probably appreciate it more. I think I
think it had been lost a bit on me. Do
you believe that when I say that? Yeah? They actually
I'm not I'm not that bothered by by famous people.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
But there's no Gallagher.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, I know you keep saying that, and it's he's
not He's just another level in it.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
He's just like I mean, I'm glad you've convinced yourself
for that.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
You don't believe then, would you, Nola Liam No, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
But I mean, as if it wasn't a mad weak
enough And they're ready to drive down the next day
to Rexam. So I got home at three morning, I
had to get up at half seven to come over
to yours could go down Wrexham.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
And we're interviewing Phil Parker, who is a legend in
my eyes, and Steve Parker. I can say that one
that was listening anyway for some of that would say,
you're doing with us? And it.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Was, I mean, we were. We were excited to go
down to Wrexham. They were because obviously they're the team
of the moment, the flavor of the month, whatever you
want to call it, the the team that of the
massive and Ryan Reynolds and Rob mccallanya spelled everyone's the
guy from always Inn and it was really there was

(24:32):
still like they still seemed like the staff were grounded
as all weren't. They're really nice.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
There, He's a club on the up. We met Ben Foster.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well that was awkward on it don't like because I
said what would you do? What would you? You're going
to lose you. I said, you're going to lose your
ship if you meet Bed Foster, right because like you
both think goalkeepers union and Ben walked around the corner
literally definitely and I just went is He went, yeah, hello,
they were awk of that one. Yeah, And we didn't

(25:01):
get a picture. That a really good day though. It
was good and we got to see the whole Wrexham
team having the team foot taken with the trophy that
was told everyone.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I met Ryan Reynolds that could be a fabrication.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
We didn't.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
And then I did some heenious which I've got to
be careful how I say it, and you you looked
at me with judgment eyes for Nico. Now, who do
weet w get seen it.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
From last week? Phil Parkinson?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
No, no, No, James Hansen before and we get this right, James.
So we interviewed James Hansen and could be really quiet
because they just over there and Nico said, oh yeah, good.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Nothing, yeah, okay, I can't go there. Basically what happened
is wrong. The autographs were by the hand. They were
made by the hand of Tom Fletcher because he forgot
to fake them, got one for yourself.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
He got his own side, and that gave me inspiration
to a clever words now that the don't understand dictate
the others on the other paraphernalia and apparel. And I
feel terribly bad, feel really guilty.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I told you midway through writing it.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
We're talking about, you know, being a good dad and
a nice dad, all right?

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Sauntering over? Do you feel like we're talking about you?
That's why you've come over. You just want to come
and say look to your uncle Dom. Do you think
do you think I'm a good uncle Dom? There you go,
that's what you wanted in it? Did you would you would?
Would you call him uncle Dom? Yeah? Exactly? All right?
What's okay? Why not about uncle film wal uncle filling
Uncle Dom? You see Phil loads more? Probably not in

(26:47):
a way. Would you prefer kids good answer. I don't know.
They might pick that up. What you said me? Come
and tell coming message me, ego, tell us a story,
tell us the story. Do you think? Do you think
I'm a good dad? I think you're all right? What

(27:11):
the hell? What do you think Teddy would say if
I asked him if I was a good dad? Yeah?
I think it's yeah, same, yeah, maybe nine out of ten?
What how could I improve on the on the part
of the two point score there?

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Instead of.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
H Tom says as he rips his son's hand out
of his mouth because you're biting his nails. Just calm down, Nico?
Is that I need to do? Calm down? Come here?
Do you need to do? They need to relax a
bit more? Just be honesty, good one. I guarante you're
gonna go after this? Nico? Am I coming talking to this? Mike?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
You am?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
I am? I good to shout? Am I good dad?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I think?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Oh yeah, well that's about this? Am I good dad?
I feel like your kids take far too long answer
this question?

Speaker 4 (28:13):
M hmm, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
It does. Yeah. What would you rate me out of ten?

Speaker 4 (28:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
No, no, no, an no, I think I'm Why Am
I getting a nine point nine?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh? Good.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
But you've been in trouble today, haven't you. Well, look
what this podcast about.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's about opening up about our feelings, okay, and I
want you to. I wanted to tell don what happened
this morning and why we wouldn't go to Halifax.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (28:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, Well now.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
You're trying to get in between them. So Nico does
have a phobia.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
No, yeah, I know all about the phone. You can
I tell people? No thanks. If you're doing to talk
about it, that's okay. You're going to make someone talk
about it, nobody. You've got no problem. We won't talk
about that. Oh you've got mod iverywhere you got go
over there?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
He is exasperated today. I'm glad I drove all this
way to barbecue at least Braford City one.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Who will delete Nico? Don't you worry? So now that's happened.
So this podcast is all about owning up, but it's
also about respecting people's space and privacy. Yes it is.
Are you going to tell everyone what the phobia is?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Or is that betraying your son's trust?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I don't think No, he's not a phobing innical worry.
Nical worries about this is you know what? This is
great a pocket. If you listen to this, you're on
ten hooks.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
What is the phobia? Is it? Girls? I don't bicycles.
I don't, I don't. I don't want to embarrass him.
I don't embarrass him. But caused an issue this? Yeah,
I think that.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I think the thing is I'm trying to speak to
him like it's okay and explain to him and how
how how we had a great day, didn't we eco
in the end when Talifax went to the piece ale
and a good moves around and mummy has gone off
this afternoon and you had a good day.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
He's got his rollerblades? What what a death track? Roller
blades are? I'm just a nervous wreck watching on him.
Thirty six quid as well, it's still that expense.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
He's paid for them. I've made him safe up to
be filled with regret. I'm not just as a dad though.
You're one of these dads that if Teddy came to you,
I said, right, I want I want a FIFA.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Is you saying, yeah, that's bad that you got you
can't do? You know why though? Because I want it
as well.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Okay, Okay, let's have something like the new phone.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
No, because I'm I think I see him through my
childhood eyes. So when he's coming up to me saying
can I football, I'm sorry. Yeah. Whereas my parents were better, Yeah,
I don't see I had to work for stuff or
appreciate stuff more. So, do you think Whenday goes on
and just get everything I want? You don't get them
you want to.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
And I'm actually quite happy, happy with that because you
should be these boundaries in life because you get you
get dads or mums in life saying I want to
give my child everything she wants because I never got
that childhood.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
But you've got to have boundaries. You have probably the
wisest thing that has ever been said on a job here,
how do you sinar eleven eleven years? Do you have?

Speaker 2 (31:35):
And I think this, like we said, if your royal
bird's fine, you've got to get saved up. He've got
his little copper can together when you've paid for him.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well, that's good. That's good. That's teaching your kids to
value money because he'll realize now and where do you
start Money's.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Friday night cricket club. They sell jelly snakes. You how
much the cricket club made and jelly snakes last year
alone two thousand pounds. What the fifty peach jelly snakes,
they're so old? Four thousand jelly steaks last year in
summer crazy.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
It's crazy. I might move into jelly snake.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
I can look at what it's having a week. Ten
weeks of cricket four hundred. I bet about it's fifteen
weeks of cricket.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I bet this. I bet that's three hundred a week. Insane. Anyway,
speaking speaking of making money, if you're a youngster, you're
not you know you coming to the end of the
school year, you're not sure what you want to do
for a job. Getting to rendering every bar, every single
bar in leads is hipster bare walls, bare brick everything.
We went to Bradford, Where do we go to Bradford? Forgot? Yeah,

(32:36):
we went to a bar in Bradford bare brick. Once
that's not fashionable anymore. Renderers are going to be in demanded.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
To render pereograph getting to rendering. All these bare bricks
are also not equal friendly, literally taking off a lot
of insulation.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Are you so that is the trade to get into.
That's a good bit of observational comedy for you there,
but it's real. It's really hard with two gigs staying
it and I feel like I'm on the pressure. It's fair,
it's good play, it's fine. Well we know it. Anyway,
we come in to an end, probably be a short
one because we've dragged Dom over and shall we talk

(33:10):
about my Man City night again. I'm gonna go home
and watch the look at the pictures again. We we
we We're gonna We're gonna try and push the guests
that way. The problem with this we do have guest
lined off. It's our fault. The issue is weeks go
so fast? Time? What is what is the deal with time?
When did it go so quick? It's horrible. James Harkin

(33:31):
is literally banging the door down to come on. They
know such thing as a fish guy. Well, just have
we got to meet We've got to move to meet him.
Though maybe we'll go down to the podcast show meeting now,
so we're planning it. Anyway, we do have guests lined up.
And are you bothered people bothered about guests? You want guests?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Do you want to hear guests or do you just
want to hear us talking emailers manhood at gmail dot com.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Also should I emailers? It's not live and kicking. We've
got social media.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Not one person that's an emailtich every other week I said, emails.
You know what, I'd love to get an email some
many emailers?

Speaker 1 (34:06):
What do you need to fess up about? That's that's
that's the email you Tom's confessional. They're sloping off. Do
I need to five out of ten?

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Do I need to own up about the autograph? Don't
eat it? Tell them and so look at effect. This
is not Phil Parkinson, you're going I didn't think them
are I think two out of three?

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Okay? And it was a good fake because it looks
pretty so.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
About when he wouldn't when you when you're dying and
they bring the autograph books full of legends and say
thanks so much, dad. The most special one was Phil
Parkinson for me. And as you pop your cold, you
say I faked it. Skateboard, Yeah, do email as manhood pod?
Do I need to tell the nico.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Especially well Twitter? We're doing use Twitter, it's format, but
Instagram is the is the key place we get on Instagram.
We're trying to do TikTok, but we're too old.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
