I did watch it, Liverpool rubbish the terrible anyway, I
was watched that. And then I said, so I don't
really want to, like, I can't do the podcast before
the gigs, haven't got time. And then maybe we could
do one after the gig. We can do my hotel
room because I've got the space. And then he was like, yeah,
that's great. Then we met in the bar and then
we decided to have two rounds now, which.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We definitely could have. We definitely could have had.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We've wasted all the conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
But why was that? Was it a bit awkward to
like when you came in, it was a bit awkward
to be like, do your podcast now?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
The fridge?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The fridge don't work and it smells like hamster? What

it feels like hamster, that's what we do with our fridge.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You don't mean hamster, you mean the sous. Yeah, yeah,

way and hasn't it smell it?
Speaker 3 (01:45):

Speaker 1 (01:51):
But it's not cold in there, is it? Bas Right,

Speaker 3 (01:55):
That, you say basically different?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, you're put out all everything, you batsy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Explain that we're here chatting.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But then Phil and berts, Yeah, baitsy batsys southern.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It does beg the question. It's the same nickname. It
just said differently.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What was your name at school? Rob Bes whatever?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Already it used to be until Beckham turned up.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
If you had be what you eighteen brothers get.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, we were called but we were mean.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
We used to call I was because I've got a
fat nipples, so to be called jaffie cake.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Nicki Bitts used to comment, it's called half nicks because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What's that is?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
What is basically like an extra sort of like flesh
and stuff around the nipple. It looks a bit man booby,
but even if you lose those of weight, that will
stay and the rest of your like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
A puff nipple. Yes, yes, I've got puffing, so we
have the best pecks ever. But the nipples was still puff.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, it's like a fatty tissue. And it's called gano mastica.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I think berger nips for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah or yeah, Jeff kated.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah I got on the stone called half nipples like
my nipples. How far is your shirt? Did you trousers?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I've just got tiny ones.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh wow, half nipples.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Eight eight of your nipples will get into one of ours.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, so it works itself.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And then my brother had a spotted back. It was
called dark ball back. And then my other brother breath
and it was called Dogship Breath. So they were quite
brilliant that I was called Beckett or Beck's.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But but this is my point, right, if you've got
a mate called Steve Jones, what are you calling him?
No Johnson, you're calling him Jhones. No, not you are.
It's some of the things. Johnes is northern, it's from down.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you can't ask me what i'd called them and
then tell me that I wouldn't call them no, because.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I've got loads of them.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh, John's Steve O.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It would be yees, Steve, Stevie, Stevie j I think
Steve Jones would be called Stevie Jay.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What would we call Robin the North Bobby Becles.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Probably Bob.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So then about him, I think I think there's good nicknames.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I think Rob was quite like ahead of the curve
back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Rob name role, Robert.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Mum wanted to coming Robbie, but I don't think it
would be cooll Yeah, Robbie Robber.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Thanks hav Yeah, sorry, welcome to the podcast, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, I don't know is there an intro. It's been
a long time. It has been a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Because you give me ship for not being on, but
you are so disorganized that it's not actually my fault
we have.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I mean, the last time it was supposed happen, we
got two pissed.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Because I'll be honest if you it's eleven thirty on
a Sunday am trained tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I've done four gigs a row. I don't need this.
You've done your met home already.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Get the train because the train is quick, and I've
got to work when I get into town tomorrow, so
it's better to just get the train straight into Then
it's a voiceover for Robin ROMs.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We do a dance episode.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, so doing the voiceover for that, and then we're
actually doing the dance on the eighteenth of December, and
then I've got to go in and do some more
voiceover work.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It's quite right. I'm happy to be here. I don't
need to feel like I'm not quite.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But we do feel a bit bad, Like we know
busy you are, and like when I'm like what's up
and thinking can you do it?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm thinking I want to, but I just couldn't do
it before because I wasn't in the league.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You are like incredible to incredibly finish the moment.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You are big right now, but.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's been done with like not ne lessari. We enjoy
doing podcasting. We've always enjoyed doing it. Everyone want a
career out of it. I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Wondering, Well, yeah, I mean I've always wanted to. It's
just that we've been doing it for twenty years and
not evolved past this.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, but that's not due to lack of talent. That's
just this organization and niche product we do.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We do, actually, hang on a minute, we do have
that You were Bradford, so Bradford so you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But you're not a Bradford fan and you found us
via our podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Say I'm the anomaly.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, look, because we're still dining out on the fact
you mentioned us on Fighting Top fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
What's fighting on five live?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Fucking's that of order?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
A big fact?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think you're both very funny, very talented, and I
enjoy your podcast. But the Bradfont one was too niche
so it couldn't go through, and then you did a
different one.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
But then you we keep because we get too pissed before.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's consistency is the key.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
This is the first podcast you've done which is not
a comedian, hasn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Not at first?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But I do Josh would call him, I've done podcasts
with comedians. No, But you're coming at this from a
very sort of negative lack of confidence.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Huge, can I be honest?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Rob.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
At the time when our podcast was quite big, there
are about ten podcasts in the world. I know, now
there's billions. We feel like we don't get the appreciation
we deserve for being front runner.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
But I think if you enjoy I enjoyed doing the
one with I do it Josh. Apparently when I enjoy
doing and like I would still do even if it
wasn't doing as well as it's doing.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Exactly why we do this.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
So I'm literally building a podcast studio to me do podcasting,
enjoy it, were it by colleagues and my wife, and
my wife loves you know what I do. But like
what you're doing doing the podcast. It sounds like you're
going to go play action. But what's the other option
for us as we get into get older, Like what
by all that gear and go cyclingly?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Exactly exactly that at least we've had our passion has
been the same passion forever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And I think it's good as you get older.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I remember like my dad and his face when you
gets about fifty, not allowed mates anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
So if you can meet up with mates, have a
couple of beers and chat and record it and put
it out, why not exactly?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I'm all for it, that's true.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's just unfortunate we've been doing it for so long
and not get beyond where we're at.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But like you're being negative needy when you when you
really need to flip that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Where do you want to be? Where do you want
to be?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just want to do this and get paid for
it because it's easy.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
So Dom wants to try and have a living, whereas
I'm like, I want to do because I enjoy doing it.
And if if a byproduct of that is will make
a bit of money, great, Yeah do you know what
I mean? And I think he needs to change his mindset.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But Dom's not hanging hanging it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I don't want to get too deep into psychology.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let's fish with any mondays. We've been doing this.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We've been doing this for so long and people tell us, oh,
you're really good, you're funny, and we're still do doing this.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, but didn't you stop doing this podcast for a bit?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah? Yeah, a year actually yeah? And then I'm literally
being in leads telling you what to do.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
What did I say? Just consistency makes me pump it
out everything, and then you stopped.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You know what we felt doing it from Zoo.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We're better in person, Ben, we're body language experts.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You could say, but you're not the judge of that.
The audience will be the judge that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's something in there that cutting.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I want to say, it's the consistency is key and
you stopped, but with your back again now positive, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Funny guys, I love the podcast we're in.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Can I can? Thanks Rob? I want to try and
change the subject. I want to give you what happens
next scenario in Brigai Christmas market is terrible. They got
rid of the Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I guarantee whatever you were doing yesterday, Tom was better
than what me and Rob were doing watching, which is
watching Brad. It's the worst game.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I talk about that we don't do.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
That than you do, but in fact we're about we're
doing it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
We're just tell all my stories. Good use. I'm giving
you a.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Up next Son, Brighouse. They got rid of the sand
the stage and they replaced it with an a Arriva
bus because cost cutting excited this very So I see
a mate, I see my mate. I see a mate
I ain't seen about ten years, and and now it
gets gets a bit sad. Actually. So I see a
mate and I'm thinking, oh my god, I ain't seen
him since he's his mate died of a brain tumor. No,
(10:29):
but no, don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's it's fine, honestly, way, we're not going to talk
about that. So I'm like, so his mate's called Crag okay,
and he's called Bots. So I see, go on, I
see Bots, right, I see Bots walking down the street.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Listen to this. I see Box walking down the street,
and I thinking, I'm going to say, it seems Crags
the way. It's really sad. And I turn and I
put my hand up. What is next? I see box?
Boxes there? I'm here, what is next?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Behind out?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, what you're gonna have to tell us about high
five from someone?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
No, I call him by the name of his because
he's in my head.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Why are you telling this now?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Because so I go, he comes over and he goes.
It looks when I go crag yeah, and he goes
he looks so confused, and then I go hi, and
he goes.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Hello, and he comes and shakes my hand, and he went,
what you're doing here? I went Christmas Markets, he went
me to Then he walked the opposite douction to me,
and I walked away.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I felt physically sick and went, you are right, dad?
I went, no, I just called him the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Name of his Yeah, this wasn't as bad as this is.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The we were saving this episode.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You don't like that. I'm thinking crag crag crack, crack
crack crack, crack, cracking crag.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I've definite I've said I've definitely said the wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It could be could blend into your just like you think.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm I am.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, No, I mean I'm sure that what Rob regrets
more is texting or saying you fancy Bradford Markham tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Brad.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I mean, I've seen some crack foot in the first
sixty minutes both sides. The last twenty was a bit
more exciting, but yeah, that's it was. At one point
I counted twelve headers one after you haven't didn't touch
a floor head to this, yes, but Bradford don't.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They don't. They don't pass the ball, and then up
front you've got like two scaffolders. It looks like Casey.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, the cookies John Markham, the bottom of the league
won one game all year the beach.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
They look like real Madrid up against Bradford. They they
they're like that Dackers guy, the Welsh, massive Welsh guy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Even he was good at the on the ball.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Like, just what were you impressed about Bradford?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
One thing? Two things?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You're quite like the Kit? Didn't you quite like the Kit?
I'd say the crowded quite quite as well. Then I
think they know this.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's depression that I just think there's just a load
of geezers just booting the ball out.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But I've only seen one game.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't want to like, Yeah, I think that fans
coming from you watched it like there were ninety minutes,
so I think it's enough to get you.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
No, it just felt like they were just booting it
and then they look unhappy because I always with a
team when they like have a go at the lino
for every single thing of an off side or a foul,
and they're screaming at him. I'm like that shows a
sign of they're worried about what's going on and frustration
because they're giving him because I was like, nothing the
line know has done nothing wrong, and yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Just just you were you were Rob was desperate to
call the lines.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Of a prick yourself because when you come because it's
such a small ground, I saw a video with the
standards stand opposite. It's literally three steps in the wall,
and its.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Like, do you know what?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We've got a lot of conversation out of that, don't
we Well that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Was mental because I was like, well, is that going
to be that? That's not enough?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Do you believe that Tyson Fury has put his name
to this place? He loves it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But the thing is we were so close on the stadium.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He's on the corner, it's tasting food standing it.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
And you're so close to because as I came through,
like you're so close to the plaids because it's a small,
you know, stadium, and then the liner on past I
was like, it's exciting to be at a game of
football where you could literally pointing out any player or
official say something to me that they would definitely when
you're at a big stadium, you're just shouting into the business.
(14:38):
There's a thrill where you could shout at someone and
they would definitely know you said it.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But that's that's also the joy of League too. When
we're when we're going down to Bromley, it will be
very similar. Imagine.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I've been told that Bromin Stadium is essentially a retail
like thing, like a temporary start.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Actually I asked Rob about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
He said it is marginally better than Mark apparently thousands away.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Fans, so it's it's got It's weird they probably saying hm,
because it's like that the awayan is not great, but
the actual main stands. I've got like a couple of
decent bars in there now and stuff like that, and
they put a lot of money into it, so it's
it's decent, but it's I'm going to go to the
game when you come down. It's January, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yes, it was literally in a few weeks. Yeah, are
you available?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
It's actually available that day, so definitely definitely.
Speaker 4 (15:25):

I've got you okay on record.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
What you're doing a lot of gigs, aren't you.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, I know, but I checked.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He's not doing the eleventh, it's February the eighth.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
No, it might not be fun strips should Brighouse you

if you're touring.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
There bars they go to Brigouse on a day off.
Speaker 4 (15:51):

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I do like you, but I don't want to you know,
the kids every so this long way away.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
One of the one of the complaints we've had about
this podcast has been the lack of structure. Do you
get in do you just went, oh, yeah, that's because
it was him that said it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, it does make the question.

as Rob me. Yeah, and Rob was absolutely class with
ted Yeah, absolutely made his day. Honestly, was so buzzing
about it. I mean it was it was a bit
it was a bit nervous about meeting because you're off
for Telly and said, I said, oh, he's such a
nice guy, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And then you were so nice with him at the footy,
and then obviously you invited him to the gig and
then you took him backstage. I think it might have
been one of the best days of his life.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh that's honestly. He was talking about all the way home.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He was so buzzing and you were so nice to him,
And yeah, I thought you were going to be a
prick to him, But it's fine.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What did you.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I went and saw Peter Kay when I was like
fourteen fifteen in Croydon, and it was just like the
most mind blowings because he was so like he's getting
he's not getting rave reviews. I think it's a fair
thing to say at the moment, but back then he
was un stop yeah, like unbelievable, like his energy, the speed.
And I saw him just before he got mega big
on his tour and Croydon which only looked like thousand,
(19:17):
and he was unbelievable and I was just like mesmerized, and.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Did he ever want on Paris? I'm down there as well?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Oh yeah, like properly it was, and it was the
first comedy I'd ever seen and it was just like unreal.
So I always try and like whenever, like I meet
fourteen fifteen year old you sort of have to, like
I try and like will if I was meeting a comedian.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Odds or whatever, how I'd like them to be with me.
So I was trying to do that. But yeah, he's
such a lovely kid and it's so nice.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Fifteen yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I always feel really not sorry for fourteen fifteen year olds,
but I feel I had a terrible time when I
was fourteen fifteen, So yeah, I'm always very like I
try to be quite.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Like gentle and like try to work out what would
make them.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Feel comfortable, because when you're fought in fifteen, you feel
so uncomfortable all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
So I'm very aware of going well he you know,
if I turn and talk to his dad a bit
too much, I don't want to feel like he's not
you know what I mean. And then trying to get
that balance right. It was.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It was brilliant, not only that it was his first gig,
it came as a surprise to him. She literally texts
me on the way to the game, do you want
to come to the Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, because I just thought I didn't know if he
was getting back. Because it's so weird with my job,
I'd so trick.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Like a job where I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I'm going and do Lancaster go and do leaders get
back up, boom boom. But I forget his pickles nights out.
So it's like I still think like it's being going right.
I'm doing same for his six till ten.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I just because just the way my head processes.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
But I'm trying to get better at going I'm Actually,
if you're with someone in the day and then in
the town, you I it's on me to go.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you want to come to that?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Because people might feel uncomfortable asking, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:49):

even considered it because it wasn't like a two and
a half hour drive after the gig had finished, so
it was a bit of a bike Yeah, but honestly,
anything after walk and Bradford, He's gonna Yeah, honestly, I
was so depressed, but it was so bad. It was
such a nice drive home for me as a dad though,
because he was so buzzing about it was reciting all
you get, all your gags. It was his first ever
(21:10):
comedy gig. And you know he's obviously he's in a
privileged position because I know you and you took him
backstage in the interval on the stage.

is perfect, completely immaculate, no problems, all business going really well.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
So we've got a nice house. It's all right, it's
old cold, you're not divorced. But from the house, I'm
saying happy this divorced people don't have a big hour.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Jeleosus if your like cooking outside, we.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Literally cooked last night when you were watching walk Them
against Bradford, we were cooking pizzas in in.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
The pizza is a lovely kitchen. You have to warm
up slowly.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, absolutely, Oh you love this.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
This is.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Cooking on gas. We're not gas.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
As long as does in my career, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We were meeting at three o'clocking Brighouse, so I got
the wood of a going at half one full of logs.
We went, it got really hot, went to Brighouse, came
back about five or six and it was ready to
go for pizza. So basically what I'm saying in these
four hours with he five pizzas, I've got.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
A Gosney dime and they're unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
It's like a big pizza oven thing gus Yeah, fake
fake okay, but.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Does it make nice pizzas.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
And you can turn it on.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Basically, a Gosy is like the restaurants. Top level is
that outside? Do you like eating outside? Why are you like.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
That? How we want to get you wanted to get
like a chicken area. We could, but we've got to wait,
We've got to get some planning permission for a bit.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay to bother with that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Could you said we're in suburbia, we're in the belt. Yeah,
but we're outside, but.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
We're it's so weird.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
It's basically it's so annoying where I live because if
I like, if you came to our live, You're like, well,
this is the countryside, but I still have to vote
for the London mayor and then yeah, and if I
say I'm in the countryside people from the country, I go, no,
you're not living in London.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
So I'm like, I've got red buses enough to vote for.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The mayor, but we're cooking outside.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
In the Really, so who comes around for your Christmas?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yanie?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Alan Yanis is his father in law?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeahl Karen, Yeah, I need more info.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
All the in laws of my dad got sixteen, only
you got.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
We've got us four.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And then we've got to lose mom and dad and
then so probably about eight or ten depending on how
many come from.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Lose family and how come you sure single divorce? See
how does it work? With this?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
We can talk about how did you do last year
and then have you chackn it on this year? How
did it work?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
So basically we have my mom and dad for Christmas
one year, and then lose my dad for Christmas the
next year.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
So we've got to lose my dad this year. Next year,
I'll have my mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Okay, so when you go to lose's dad, are you're
taking your eighteen brothers and two?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, no, so so we'll they'll come to us.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
So I have lose my dad one year, my mom
and dad the other year, and then my brothers will
go to their in laws on that flip, so that
my mom and dad aren't on their own any day. Yeah,
that's great because if we all go to one then
mom and dad will just be on their own.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What about you? Well, come to you the midsorry about
your brother's wives, mum and dad? What does that matter?
Because this happens.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
So we've done it is so that we split it
so I'm not with my brother's Christmas day.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
It's fascinating now, how like a family with multipleer ever?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
No, you just said you haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, No, I have my mum and dad every year,
but not my brothers.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's fascinating. How families with multiple siblings splinter off. Rob's
got nothing to do with what his brothers are doing
with the.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Before there's too many. So it's like for the five.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Boys, been possible, certainly been possible to get altogether because
also as well, then two of my brothers have got
a different mom to me, so I have to see
their mum.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So then but then my other brothers have got the
same mum as me, then they'll have her.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
So if I've got my mum Christmas Day, they'll have
their my mum boxing day, so my my mom and
dad don't on their own.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
That's quite nice, that's good, we're doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I'm gold. We cleared, just dominating the fucking me.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Strapping. You got to strap on listen, I am, I'm from,
I'm from Listen. He's not gonna know what strap on
it is.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
It stop saying that it once and I'm conscious of
listening to any of the corner.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
God, I feel like career guy like David Cook.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Weirdly, the last podcast we did together for City against Swindon,
we did we did reference David in that game.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah, we did put in a shift. You lads.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Give us ten minutes from Dom's Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You came towards Okay, actually is that true?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Did we down?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I just said, I'm really likely podcast.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Basically any girl that dates us. I say, Rob was
a big fan of ours and then we made him.
That's true, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
The Christmas questions about Chris single dad Christmas?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Listen, I am from a demographic that comic relief will
be about soon. I'm a single, divorced dad renting in
the middle class area, paying too much rent skin.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Didn't you go to a different area? Move you Christmas?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Chris Christmas where I go to my parents with my grandparents,
my sister and her fella Christmas doing that, It's pretty straightforward.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I did. I did do it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I did do a Christmas Day by myself when Teddy
was with his mom, and that was the bleak I
was walking on. I had the dog I've got I've
got a dog.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Got a dog.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, it's a Border Collie. I've had him for fifteen years,
proper dog. He lives mostly with mostly with my ex wife,
because when you rent a house, you're not allowed to
have a dog. Listen, it's the first so.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
He's true.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's true. So I have visiting rights for the dog, right, Okay,
so you get the yeah, and I took him onto
ilkly More, so which is where the bron is got
the inspiration from the fucking bleak stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I want to drill down into this finish finish. So
you've dropped the boy of Christmas Eve at his mom's.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Christmas Day, so he's always at mind Christmas morning so
I don't miss out on the magic. Okay, So you
wake up with your son, yeah, he opens his presence.
Then I take him to his mum's and then I think,
what time is that?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
My own?
Speaker 3 (33:03):
You think Donald's up?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Eleven?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Donalds up on Christmas there fully alone from eleven a
m Yeah, yeah, you didn't want to go to yourma
dads mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I did for a bit, but I was like, you know,
I'll make the most of this time by myself. Do
somethinking going to ilkly More.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
And you know what actually it is like for a
walk and ikly More alone eleven am?
Speaker 3 (33:23):

to go to your mum's?
Speaker 3 (33:27):

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I did pop in, I did selo, but I was
planned to go to There's Boxing day but I'm glad
I went up there because there were so many elderly
people by themselves. There were so many elderly people up
there by themselves. I'd SAILO Merry Christmas and they were like,
what some man like you were doing a bit honestly,
they were two of them said what is a blot
(33:48):

Speaker 3 (33:50):
God?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
So they were on their own.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, they were on their own like their husbands had
obviously died or whatever. It was shy, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
They were all women, all women.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
So you're you're suggesting all single men head to Ilka
more on Christmas Day looking for old filled.
Speaker 2 (34:06):

So that was nice.
Speaker 3 (34:11):

So then so you've done a few hours, it's like
two o'clock. Now, yeah, you're back home or to your mon.

It's it's not that bad beings. It's the worst thing
about the divorces when when things like Christmas come around,
you missed the family. What's what's funny with that's funny.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Well, the worst thing about the divorce at midnight drunk
final listen, I do all right, No, you're great for
the for the No, I mean what you can't cough.
I have to say them all right, just so that
sounds I say, you are right, You'll never meet anyone

it's a rash picture. No one wanted to take that office.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
If you think Christmas Day on my own was bleak,
you should have been in that fucking car park. When
Rob's mates started shouting at the Arsenal players after they'd lost.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
The game, it was like, eyes, we can still do it?
Speaker 3 (36:55):

lot of cars and left me standing there by myself,
and then never walks out and she's like, do you
want to have a picture?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
And I was like I say yes because I.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Got invited into hospitality at Man City and they said
do you want to come down to meet the players?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And I was like, okay, why not.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I didn't really want to because they'd just lost to
Man City, but like fine, I didn't want to be
rude either, because then invite us up, So I went
all right, and then they just put us like in
a corridor with like i'd say, children make a wish.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
It was like yeah, there was loads of children there.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
There were people like lot of people in wheelchairs or
of people from the hospital. It was very much like
these people are going to meet the players and then us.
And I was like, I don't think it's appropriate. We're
not the people that should be here for children and
people that have had a tough time since go and
she went I'll just wait out here if you want,
you might be able to see some of them.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
And I was like what, And then that was a
false invite, So she had no She.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Was trying to do her best in a situation where
we felt really uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So I said, I don't feel comfortable that I'd let
the kids meet the players.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
We're all right.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
That was four piss lads, and she went, oh, well,
if you ain't here, they've got to come through here.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
So she was like ad hoc making up her and
all the Arsenal players were coming through and I mate,
James is from New York. He was jet lagged and
he was tired and pissed. He was like trying to
be a positive.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
We could still do it. And they were just like,
who's this guy? Because we were like next to the coach.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
It's not like he's shouting it from a distance. No,
they were as far away as you are.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, just clapping like that out of bout. It'll be
all right, it's not over.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
And then, because obviously the lady didn't have a relationship
with the Arsenal players and they didn't want to stop,
they just got on the coach and went and that's
the players.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
We were interested in.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Then Nathan Aki walked past and she was like, do
you want to meet Nathan Aki? And then we went yeah,
don will.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
And pushed me forward. And I don't think it even
played he's playing that, because I really I was thinking,
hell Hal and grealish, they're gonna come by. By the
time they came back, we'd gone.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, it was gone.
Speaker 3 (39:07):

met yeah bossoms what's no Gallagher?
Speaker 4 (39:13):

point comedian, you know, world famous musician.
Speaker 3 (39:25):

But do you want back?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Like I was like, I'll shout it mate, just that
bit of back and forth and then but then we
didn't speak to you to have a match, and then
I just said him, become my friends have a photo
and he.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Was like, yeah, An did he It's because Rob wanted
a photo. I mean we did want a photo, but
Rob got straight in there as soon as asked for it.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
No, I wanted a photo, but I thought would be
easier just to say you wanted it.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hoping his cannon fodder.
Speaker 2 (39:59):

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Yeah? What I quote? What were you doing?
Speaker 1 (44:08):
You? You? What's that?
Speaker 3 (44:10):
What will you do when you're old.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
It would be in a way I've already nothing to do,
is it? But I think in a way I've already retired.
I'm doing what I want to do, which is quite lucky.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
And earning money doing it, you know what.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
And I'm doing not always now.

What mean you in a hotel room?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, we accosted Rob Beckett in his hotel room.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
It feels weird, and it now it does feel a
bit weird.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I don't like it special with everything that's going on
at the minute with celebrities like what ought to be
locked in a hotel room with one?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Explain what happened? You?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You?
Speaker 1 (00:31):

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Full pretense?
Speaker 4 (00:35):
You said if we did a podcast, and I said,
I'm quite busy. So I'm coming from Manchester Leeds and
I want to watch man City Liverpool.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Did you watch it?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I did watch it, Liverpool rubbish the terrible anyway, I
was watched that. And then I said, so I don't
really want to, like, I can't do the podcast before
the gigs, haven't got time. And then maybe we could
do one after the gig. We can do my hotel
room because I've got the space. And then he was like, yeah,
that's great. Then we met in the bar and then
we decided to have two rounds now, which.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We definitely could have. We definitely could have had.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We've wasted all the conversation.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
But why was that? Was it a bit awkward to
like when you came in, it was a bit awkward
to be like, do your podcast now?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Now?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Do you know what it is?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
What it is?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
And I'm fine with it. You know you can drink
your beard?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, I forgot it was there?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Do you know what we should go back? We should
go back?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Hang on, why do you get an eight quid prona warm?
Speaker 1 (01:27):

Speaker 3 (01:27):
The fridge?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The fridge don't work and it smells like hamster? What
in the fridge? If you open that fridge and smell
it feels like hamster, that's what we do with our fridge.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You don't mean hamster, you mean the sous. Yeah, yeah,
smell it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Basic, But this this has been two years in the
way and hasn't it smell it?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Smell it? Bas No, that's a safe on you duck egg.
Speaker 1 (01:51):

Speaker 3 (01:55):
That, you say basically different?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, you're put out all everything, you batsy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Explain that we're here chatting.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But then Phil and berts, Yeah, baitsy batsys southern.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It does beg the question. It's the same nickname. It
just said differently.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What was your name at school? Rob Bes whatever?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Already it used to be until Beckham turned up.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
If you had be what you eighteen brothers get.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, we were called but we were mean.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
We used to call I was because I've got a
fat nipples, so to be called jaffie cake.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Nicki Bitts used to comment, it's called half nicks because.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What's that is?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
What is basically like an extra sort of like flesh
and stuff around the nipple. It looks a bit man booby,
but even if you lose those of weight, that will
stay and the rest of your like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
A puff nipple. Yes, yes, I've got puffing, so we
have the best pecks ever. But the nipples was still puff.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, it's like a fatty tissue. And it's called gano mastica.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I think berger nips for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah or yeah, Jeff kated.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah I got on the stone called half nipples like
my nipples. How far is your shirt? Did you trousers?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I've just got tiny ones.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh wow, half nipples.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Eight eight of your nipples will get into one of ours.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, so it works itself.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And then my brother had a spotted back. It was
called dark ball back. And then my other brother breath
and it was called Dogship Breath. So they were quite
brilliant that I was called Beckett or Beck's.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But but this is my point, right, if you've got
a mate called Steve Jones, what are you calling him?
No Johnson, you're calling him Jhones. No, not you are.
It's some of the things. Johnes is northern, it's from down.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you can't ask me what i'd called them and
then tell me that I wouldn't call them no, because.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I've got loads of them.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh, John's Steve O.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It would be yees, Steve, Stevie, Stevie j I think
Steve Jones would be called Stevie Jay.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
What would we call Robin the North Bobby Becles.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Probably Bob.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So then about him, I think I think there's good nicknames.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I think Rob was quite like ahead of the curve
back in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Rob name role, Robert.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Mum wanted to coming Robbie, but I don't think it
would be cooll Yeah, Robbie Robber.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Thanks hav Yeah, sorry, welcome to the podcast, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
No, I don't know is there an intro. It's been
a long time. It has been a long time.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Because you give me ship for not being on, but
you are so disorganized that it's not actually my fault
we have.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I mean, the last time it was supposed happen, we
got two pissed.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Because I'll be honest if you it's eleven thirty on
a Sunday am trained tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I've done four gigs a row. I don't need this.
You've done your met home already.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Get the train because the train is quick, and I've
got to work when I get into town tomorrow, so
it's better to just get the train straight into Then
it's a voiceover for Robin ROMs.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
We do a dance episode.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, so doing the voiceover for that, and then we're
actually doing the dance on the eighteenth of December, and
then I've got to go in and do some more
voiceover work.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
It's quite right. I'm happy to be here. I don't
need to feel like I'm not quite.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But we do feel a bit bad, Like we know
busy you are, and like when I'm like what's up
and thinking can you do it?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I'm thinking I want to, but I just couldn't do
it before because I wasn't in the league.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You are like incredible to incredibly finish the moment.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You are big right now, but.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's been done with like not ne lessari. We enjoy
doing podcasting. We've always enjoyed doing it. Everyone want a
career out of it. I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Wondering, Well, yeah, I mean I've always wanted to. It's
just that we've been doing it for twenty years and
not evolved past this.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yeah, but that's not due to lack of talent. That's
just this organization and niche product we do.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
We do, actually, hang on a minute, we do have
that You were Bradford, so Bradford so you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But you're not a Bradford fan and you found us
via our podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Say I'm the anomaly.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, look, because we're still dining out on the fact
you mentioned us on Fighting Top fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
What's fighting on five live?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Fucking's that of order?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
A big fact?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I think you're both very funny, very talented, and I
enjoy your podcast. But the Bradfont one was too niche
so it couldn't go through, and then you did a
different one.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
But then you we keep because we get too pissed before.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's consistency is the key.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
This is the first podcast you've done which is not
a comedian, hasn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Not at first?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But I do Josh would call him, I've done podcasts
with comedians. No, But you're coming at this from a
very sort of negative lack of confidence.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Huge, can I be honest?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Rob.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
At the time when our podcast was quite big, there
are about ten podcasts in the world. I know, now
there's billions. We feel like we don't get the appreciation
we deserve for being front runner.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
But I think if you enjoy I enjoyed doing the
one with I do it Josh. Apparently when I enjoy
doing and like I would still do even if it
wasn't doing as well as it's doing.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Exactly why we do this.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
So I'm literally building a podcast studio to me do podcasting,
enjoy it, were it by colleagues and my wife, and
my wife loves you know what I do. But like
what you're doing doing the podcast. It sounds like you're
going to go play action. But what's the other option
for us as we get into get older, Like what
by all that gear and go cyclingly?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Exactly exactly that at least we've had our passion has
been the same passion forever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And I think it's good as you get older.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I remember like my dad and his face when you
gets about fifty, not allowed mates anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
So if you can meet up with mates, have a
couple of beers and chat and record it and put
it out, why not exactly?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I'm all for it, that's true.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It's just unfortunate we've been doing it for so long
and not get beyond where we're at.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
But like you're being negative needy when you when you
really need to flip that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Where do you want to be? Where do you want
to be?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just want to do this and get paid for
it because it's easy.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
So Dom wants to try and have a living, whereas
I'm like, I want to do because I enjoy doing it.
And if if a byproduct of that is will make
a bit of money, great, Yeah do you know what
I mean? And I think he needs to change his mindset.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But Dom's not hanging hanging it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I don't want to get too deep into psychology.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let's fish with any mondays. We've been doing this.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
We've been doing this for so long and people tell us, oh,
you're really good, you're funny, and we're still do doing this.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, but didn't you stop doing this podcast for a bit?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah? Yeah, a year actually yeah? And then I'm literally
being in leads telling you what to do.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
What did I say? Just consistency makes me pump it
out everything, and then you stopped.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
You know what we felt doing it from Zoo.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We're better in person, Ben, we're body language experts.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You could say, but you're not the judge of that.
The audience will be the judge that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
That's something in there that cutting.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I want to say, it's the consistency is key and
you stopped, but with your back again now positive, that's true.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Funny guys, I love the podcast we're in.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Can I can? Thanks Rob? I want to try and
change the subject. I want to give you what happens
next scenario in Brigai Christmas market is terrible. They got
rid of the Christmas.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I guarantee whatever you were doing yesterday, Tom was better
than what me and Rob were doing watching, which is
watching Brad. It's the worst game.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I talk about that we don't do.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
That than you do, but in fact we're about we're
doing it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
We're just tell all my stories. Good use. I'm giving
you a.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Up next Son, Brighouse. They got rid of the sand
the stage and they replaced it with an a Arriva
bus because cost cutting excited this very So I see
a mate, I see my mate. I see a mate
I ain't seen about ten years, and and now it
gets gets a bit sad. Actually. So I see a
mate and I'm thinking, oh my god, I ain't seen
him since he's his mate died of a brain tumor. No,
(10:29):
but no, don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's it's fine, honestly, way, we're not going to talk
about that. So I'm like, so his mate's called Crag okay,
and he's called Bots. So I see, go on, I
see Bots, right, I see Bots walking down the street.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Listen to this. I see Box walking down the street,
and I thinking, I'm going to say, it seems Crags
the way. It's really sad. And I turn and I
put my hand up. What is next? I see box?
Boxes there? I'm here, what is next?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Behind out?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, what you're gonna have to tell us about high
five from someone?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
No, I call him by the name of his because
he's in my head.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Why are you telling this now?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Because so I go, he comes over and he goes.
It looks when I go crag yeah, and he goes
he looks so confused, and then I go hi, and
he goes.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Hello, and he comes and shakes my hand, and he went,
what you're doing here? I went Christmas Markets, he went
me to Then he walked the opposite douction to me,
and I walked away.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I felt physically sick and went, you are right, dad?
I went, no, I just called him the.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Name of his Yeah, this wasn't as bad as this is.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The we were saving this episode.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You don't like that. I'm thinking crag crag crack, crack
crack crack, crack, cracking crag.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, I've definite I've said I've definitely said the wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It could be could blend into your just like you think.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm I am.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, No, I mean I'm sure that what Rob regrets
more is texting or saying you fancy Bradford Markham tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Brad.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
I mean, I've seen some crack foot in the first
sixty minutes both sides. The last twenty was a bit
more exciting, but yeah, that's it was. At one point
I counted twelve headers one after you haven't didn't touch
a floor head to this, yes, but Bradford don't.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
They don't. They don't pass the ball, and then up
front you've got like two scaffolders. It looks like Casey.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, the cookies John Markham, the bottom of the league
won one game all year the beach.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
They look like real Madrid up against Bradford. They they
they're like that Dackers guy, the Welsh, massive Welsh guy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Even he was good at the on the ball.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Like, just what were you impressed about Bradford?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
One thing? Two things?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
You're quite like the Kit? Didn't you quite like the Kit?
I'd say the crowded quite quite as well. Then I
think they know this.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
It's depression that I just think there's just a load
of geezers just booting the ball out.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But I've only seen one game.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I don't want to like, Yeah, I think that fans
coming from you watched it like there were ninety minutes,
so I think it's enough to get you.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
No, it just felt like they were just booting it
and then they look unhappy because I always with a
team when they like have a go at the lino
for every single thing of an off side or a foul,
and they're screaming at him. I'm like that shows a
sign of they're worried about what's going on and frustration
because they're giving him because I was like, nothing the
line know has done nothing wrong, and yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Just just you were you were Rob was desperate to
call the lines.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Of a prick yourself because when you come because it's
such a small ground, I saw a video with the
standards stand opposite. It's literally three steps in the wall,
and its.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Like, do you know what?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We've got a lot of conversation out of that, don't
we Well that.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Was mental because I was like, well, is that going
to be that? That's not enough?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Do you believe that Tyson Fury has put his name
to this place? He loves it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
But the thing is we were so close on the stadium.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He's on the corner, it's tasting food standing it.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
And you're so close to because as I came through,
like you're so close to the plaids because it's a small,
you know, stadium, and then the liner on past I
was like, it's exciting to be at a game of
football where you could literally pointing out any player or
official say something to me that they would definitely when
you're at a big stadium, you're just shouting into the business.
(14:38):
There's a thrill where you could shout at someone and
they would definitely know you said it.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But that's that's also the joy of League too. When
we're when we're going down to Bromley, it will be
very similar. Imagine.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I've been told that Bromin Stadium is essentially a retail
like thing, like a temporary start.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Actually I asked Rob about this yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
He said it is marginally better than Mark apparently thousands away.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Fans, so it's it's got It's weird they probably saying hm,
because it's like that the awayan is not great, but
the actual main stands. I've got like a couple of
decent bars in there now and stuff like that, and
they put a lot of money into it, so it's
it's decent, but it's I'm going to go to the
game when you come down. It's January, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yes, it was literally in a few weeks. Yeah, are
you available?
Speaker 1 (15:22):

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I do like you, but I don't want to you know,
the kids every so this long way away.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
One of the one of the complaints we've had about
this podcast has been the lack of structure. Do you
get in do you just went, oh, yeah, that's because
it was him that said it.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, it does make the question.

around to my house before.
Speaker 3 (17:18):

did your kids?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, yeah, you can't look after him.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Do you know what the loser? No trucks needed, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I want to I want to say this because yesterday
I had Teddy with me at the footy as well
as Rob me. Yeah, and Rob was absolutely class with
ted Yeah, absolutely made his day. Honestly, was so buzzing
about it. I mean it was it was a bit
it was a bit nervous about meeting because you're off
for Telly and said, I said, oh, he's such a
nice guy, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And then you were so nice with him at the footy,
and then obviously you invited him to the gig and
then you took him backstage. I think it might have
been one of the best days of his life.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh that's honestly. He was talking about all the way home.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He was so buzzing and you were so nice to him,
And yeah, I thought you were going to be a
prick to him, But it's fine.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What did you.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I went and saw Peter Kay when I was like
fourteen fifteen in Croydon, and it was just like the
most mind blowings because he was so like he's getting
he's not getting rave reviews. I think it's a fair
thing to say at the moment, but back then he
was un stop yeah, like unbelievable, like his energy, the speed.
And I saw him just before he got mega big
on his tour and Croydon which only looked like thousand,
(19:17):
and he was unbelievable and I was just like mesmerized, and.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Did he ever want on Paris? I'm down there as well?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Oh yeah, like properly it was, and it was the
first comedy I'd ever seen and it was just like unreal.
So I always try and like whenever, like I meet
fourteen fifteen year old you sort of have to, like
I try and like will if I was meeting a comedian.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Odds or whatever, how I'd like them to be with me.
So I was trying to do that. But yeah, he's
such a lovely kid and it's so nice.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Fifteen yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I always feel really not sorry for fourteen fifteen year olds,
but I feel I had a terrible time when I
was fourteen fifteen, So yeah, I'm always very like I
try to be quite.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Like gentle and like try to work out what would
make them.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Feel comfortable, because when you're fought in fifteen, you feel
so uncomfortable all the time.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
So I'm very aware of going well he you know,
if I turn and talk to his dad a bit
too much, I don't want to feel like he's not
you know what I mean. And then trying to get
that balance right. It was.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It was brilliant, not only that it was his first gig,
it came as a surprise to him. She literally texts
me on the way to the game, do you want
to come to the Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, because I just thought I didn't know if he
was getting back. Because it's so weird with my job,
I'd so trick.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Like a job where I'm not right.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I'm going and do Lancaster go and do leaders get
back up, boom boom. But I forget his pickles nights out.
So it's like I still think like it's being going right.
I'm doing same for his six till ten.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I just because just the way my head processes.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
But I'm trying to get better at going I'm Actually,
if you're with someone in the day and then in
the town, you I it's on me to go.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you want to come to that?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Because people might feel uncomfortable asking, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Going to Yeah, well do you know I want to
even considered it because it wasn't like a two and
a half hour drive after the gig had finished, so
it was a bit of a bike Yeah, but honestly,
anything after walk and Bradford, He's gonna Yeah, honestly, I
was so depressed, but it was so bad. It was
such a nice drive home for me as a dad though,
because he was so buzzing about it was reciting all
you get, all your gags. It was his first ever
(21:10):
comedy gig. And you know he's obviously he's in a
privileged position because I know you and you took him
backstage in the interval on the stage.
Speaker 4 (21:17):

so he actually was on the stage.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Jeleosus if your like cooking outside, we.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Literally cooked last night when you were watching walk Them
against Bradford, we were cooking pizzas in in.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
The pizza is a lovely kitchen. You have to warm
up slowly.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, absolutely, Oh you love this.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
This is.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Cooking on gas. We're not gas.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
As long as does in my career, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
We were meeting at three o'clocking Brighouse, so I got
the wood of a going at half one full of logs.
We went, it got really hot, went to Brighouse, came
back about five or six and it was ready to
go for pizza. So basically what I'm saying in these
four hours with he five pizzas, I've got.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
A Gosney dime and they're unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (27:36):

And you can turn it on.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Basically, a Gosy is like the restaurants. Top level is
that outside? Do you like eating outside? Why are you like.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
That? How we want to get you wanted to get
like a chicken area. We could, but we've got to wait,
We've got to get some planning permission for a bit.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Okay to bother with that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Could you said we're in suburbia, we're in the belt. Yeah,
but we're outside, but.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
We're it's so weird.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
It's basically it's so annoying where I live because if
I like, if you came to our live, You're like, well,
this is the countryside, but I still have to vote
for the London mayor and then yeah, and if I
say I'm in the countryside people from the country, I go, no,
you're not living in London.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
So I'm like, I've got red buses enough to vote for.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The mayor, but we're cooking outside.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
In the Really, so who comes around for your Christmas?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yanie?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Alan Yanis is his father in law?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeahl Karen, Yeah, I need more info.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
All the in laws of my dad got sixteen, only
you got.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
We've got us four.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
And then we've got to lose mom and dad and
then so probably about eight or ten depending on how
many come from.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Lose family and how come you sure single divorce? See
how does it work? With this?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
We can talk about how did you do last year
and then have you chackn it on this year? How
did it work?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
So basically we have my mom and dad for Christmas
one year, and then lose my dad for Christmas the
next year.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
So we've got to lose my dad this year. Next year,
I'll have my mom and dad.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Okay, so when you go to lose's dad, are you're
taking your eighteen brothers and two?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, no, so so we'll they'll come to us.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
So I have lose my dad one year, my mom
and dad the other year, and then my brothers will
go to their in laws on that flip, so that
my mom and dad aren't on their own any day. Yeah,
that's great because if we all go to one then
mom and dad will just be on their own.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What about you? Well, come to you the midsorry about
your brother's wives, mum and dad? What does that matter?
Because this happens.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
So we've done it is so that we split it
so I'm not with my brother's Christmas day.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
It's fascinating now, how like a family with multipleer ever?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
No, you just said you haven't.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
No, No, I have my mum and dad every year,
but not my brothers.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
It's fascinating. How families with multiple siblings splinter off. Rob's
got nothing to do with what his brothers are doing
with the.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Before there's too many. So it's like for the five.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Boys, been possible, certainly been possible to get altogether because
also as well, then two of my brothers have got
a different mom to me, so I have to see
their mum.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
So then but then my other brothers have got the
same mum as me, then they'll have her.
Speaker 4 (30:27):

Speaker 3 (31:29):
The Christmas questions about Chris single dad Christmas?
Speaker 2 (31:33):

be about soon. I'm a single, divorced dad renting in
the middle class area, paying too much rent skin.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Chris Christmas where I go to my parents with my grandparents,
my sister and her fella Christmas doing that, It's pretty straightforward.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
I did. I did do it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I did do a Christmas Day by myself when Teddy
was with his mom, and that was the bleak I
was walking on. I had the dog I've got I've
got a dog.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Got a dog.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, it's a Border Collie. I've had him for fifteen years,
proper dog. He lives mostly with mostly with my ex wife,
because when you rent a house, you're not allowed to
have a dog. Listen, it's the first so.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
He's true.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's true. So I have visiting rights for the dog, right, Okay,
so you get the yeah, and I took him onto
ilkly More, so which is where the bron is got
the inspiration from the fucking bleak stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
I want to drill down into this finish finish. So
you've dropped the boy of Christmas Eve at his mom's.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Christmas Day, so he's always at mind Christmas morning so
I don't miss out on the magic. Okay, So you
wake up with your son, yeah, he opens his presence.
Then I take him to his mum's and then I think,
what time is that?

obviously died or whatever. It was shy, but yeah.

You've got Teddy.
Speaker 1 (35:30):

Speaker 2 (35:31):
It's it's not that bad beings. It's the worst thing
about the divorces when when things like Christmas come around,
you missed the family. What's what's funny with that's funny.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Well, the worst thing about the divorce at midnight drunk
final listen, I do all right, No, you're great for
the for the No, I mean what you can't cough.
I have to say them all right, just so that
sounds I say, you are right, You'll never meet anyone
you did.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
That's what that sounded like.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, I was saying, you're you're doing well.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Do you know what you could do me a solid
and put a message out on your parenting podcast, say
any single leaning on the mill water?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Actually, do you know what? When we just go on hinge?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
When I have been on hinge, it's completely that well
is dry?
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Is dry?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
To be fair?
Speaker 3 (36:18):
When? When?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
When?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
When you posted on the parenting health thing, that picture
of me and Nathan Aki did get a few I
got a few requests, I did you. Yeah, the only
miles away though I'm not not traveling twelve twelve miles max.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Within one mile of Ilklymore maximum. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
And it was a particular picture that either wasn't well, no,
it's a rash picture. No one wanted to take that office.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
If you think Christmas Day on my own was bleak,
you should have been in that fucking car park. When
Rob's mates started shouting at the Arsenal players after they'd lost.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
The game, it was like, eyes, we can still do it?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
What absolute cringe worth?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yes, only that they all quit clear ducked behind a
lot of cars and left me standing there by myself,
and then never walks out and she's like, do you
want to have a picture?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
And I was like I say yes because I.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Got invited into hospitality at Man City and they said
do you want to come down to meet the players?
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And I was like, okay, why not.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I didn't really want to because they'd just lost to
Man City, but like fine, I didn't want to be
rude either, because then invite us up, So I went
all right, and then they just put us like in
a corridor with like i'd say, children make a wish.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
It was like yeah, there was loads of children there.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
There were people like lot of people in wheelchairs or
of people from the hospital. It was very much like
these people are going to meet the players and then us.
And I was like, I don't think it's appropriate. We're
not the people that should be here for children and
people that have had a tough time since go and
she went I'll just wait out here if you want,
you might be able to see some of them.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
And I was like what, And then that was a
false invite, So she had no She.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Was trying to do her best in a situation where
we felt really uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
So I said, I don't feel comfortable that I'd let
the kids meet the players.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
We're all right.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
That was four piss lads, and she went, oh, well,
if you ain't here, they've got to come through here.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
So she was like ad hoc making up her and
all the Arsenal players were coming through and I mate,
James is from New York. He was jet lagged and
he was tired and pissed. He was like trying to
be a positive.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
We could still do it. And they were just like,
who's this guy? Because we were like next to the coach.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
It's not like he's shouting it from a distance. No,
they were as far away as you are.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, just clapping like that out of bout. It'll be
all right, it's not over.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
And then, because obviously the lady didn't have a relationship
with the Arsenal players and they didn't want to stop,
they just got on the coach and went and that's
the players.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
We were interested in.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Then Nathan Aki walked past and she was like, do
you want to meet Nathan Aki? And then we went yeah,
don will.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
And pushed me forward. And I don't think it even
played he's playing that, because I really I was thinking,
hell Hal and grealish, they're gonna come by. By the
time they came back, we'd gone.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, it was gone.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
You won the worst afternoon. You met no Gallagher? You
met yeah bossoms what's no Gallagher?
Speaker 4 (39:13):

Speaker 1 (39:14):

bit like ship.

Yeah, it would what rapport if you got at that
point comedian, you know, world famous musician.
Speaker 3 (39:25):

More like you're like, fucking fucking arsenal, your fucking ship.
It was a very arsenal.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
But do you want back?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Like I was like, I'll shout it mate, just that
bit of back and forth and then but then we
didn't speak to you to have a match, and then
I just said him, become my friends have a photo
and he.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Was like, yeah, An did he It's because Rob wanted
a photo. I mean we did want a photo, but
Rob got straight in there as soon as asked for it.
Speaker 4 (39:50):
No, I wanted a photo, but I thought would be
easier just to say you wanted it.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was hoping his cannon fodder.
Speaker 2 (39:59):

that it's intimidating room. There's no Gallagher in there, the
