Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll get him just to go laugh now, better

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: than a sign. Yeah, helpful.

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 4: Robbie.

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: You've got a lot of parenting humor in your in

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 5: your show, because I know you've done that, especially during

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 5: COVID with the with the podcast.

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I do the Parent and Hell podcast. But

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: you know what, I never wanted to be a comedian

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: that just banged on about his kids all the time,

53
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: and that's exactly what I've become. However, that's a localized

54
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: in my podcast of do with Josh, so actually on stage,

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: it frees me up to talk about other stuff because

56
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: the reality is most parents aren't going to comedy because

57
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: I can't afford it, because they've got a kid now,

58
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: or they're too tired. So the last thing you want

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: is to be doing jokes about kids to a load

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: of young, happy people. Yeah, so I leave the stuff

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 2: about my kids to the podcast, and then I talk

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: a lot about class and talk about my parents and

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: my family and my upbringing in the show's slag my

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: family off. And do you know what's good though, is

65
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: because when I'll do it in England, normally there's a

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: couple of grasses in that live nearby my mother in

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: law and all my family. But now I'm in Australia,

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: I can really let lose.

69
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: One's a couple of grasses.

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: Well apparently you said this about me, I go, yeah,

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: but your grandkids have got a nice life, so back off.

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: We'll feel free to talk about parenting today because we

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: want to ask you what is one one piece of

74
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: advice that you would give to about to be parents

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: that people don't usually offer up.

76
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: Okay, the birth will be awful. It won't be the

77
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: best day of life, probably one of the worst. Every

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: day is very difficult and hard work. And I wouldn't

79
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: bother booking a holiday until your youngest is four years

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: of so you're looking at four years about a holiday.

81
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: If you have two or three, it could be up

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: to eight or nine years. But ultimately you won't have

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: any fun if you go over a child under the

84
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: age of four on holiday, and you could disagree and

85
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: then you could apologize later on the way back from

86
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: your holiday.

87
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, you're.

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Better off the holiday, swerve the holiday and then save

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: up and have a really good one. Also, you don't

90
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: need to go on a day in Australia where it's

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: nice or not. Every day is a holiday.

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 5: Every day, neighbors, do you often get mistaken for a

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: ringleader in protest?

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: Does that happened to you recently?

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: Well? Yes, in London, we've got a thing going on

96
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: called just stop oil, which is loads of people that

97
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: keep just blocking the roads and spraying stuff orange. And

98
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I don't even understand why. Really, I don't know what

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: oil there against. If it's cooking or crude or olive,

100
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what which oil they've got a problem with.

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: But I got caught up in it. Basically, I was

102
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: late for work, jumped out my cab because they'd stop traffic.

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: I walked through this crowd of people. But then all

104
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: the because I don't know if you know, I do

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: a bit of telly in England. A few people were

106
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: filming and they took photos of me because I thought

107
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: I was leading the march against the oil. But I was,

108
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: I was, I wasn't. I just got caught up in it.

109
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: But I'm not. I'm not a political comic and I'm

110
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: not looking looking to do any politics when I'm over. Okay,

111
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: So that's what I said on the visa anyway you

112
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: talk about have you seen that on the visa? I'm

113
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: visa yeah, to come to Austrailer to work. And one

114
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: of the questions is are you a terrorist? Yes?

115
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: Yes, not too many.

116
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: The same person who admits this smoothing on the health

117
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: insurance form.

118
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: I guess.

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not. But if you were, you're not going.

120
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: To say, yeah, well maybe just casual one or something.

121
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you do, you're trying to be funny.

122
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: It's not funny for long, is it?

123
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: Exactly? I could know that.

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: You want to do your gigs exactly.

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: You host the show eight out of ten cats, and

126
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: yet on your wiki page it describes you as a

127
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: casual dog owner.

128
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 3: What's a casual dog owner?

129
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know someone. I haven't got a dog. Yeah,

130
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: and I'm away a lot, so you could call it casual.

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: But what makes my wife's dog really my wife? My

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: thought is one of the dog, and I don't mind

133
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: the dog. I like having the dog, but I like

134
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: having the dog the same way as I like having

135
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: a fridge. I'd miss it if it weren't there. But

136
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: it isn't my life and soul.

137
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah enough, Yeah, I'm not.

138
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,800
