Rob Beckett (0:51)

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

Josh Widdicombe (0:53)

Right, Olivia, can you say Rob?

Rob Beckett (0:55)

Rob Beckett.

Michael (0:57)

Beckett might have practiced this before. Can you say Josh?

Josh Widdicombe (1:01)

Josh Widdicombe. Widdicombe.

Michael (1:04)

God, wha?

Grace, can you say Rob? Rob Beckett.

Rob Beckett (1:10)

He don't want to do it. He don't want to do it. He's asked that in it.

Josh Widdicombe (1:12)

And can you say Josh Widdicombe?

Rob Beckett (1:20)

Who is that prison warden that's been dragged into that fun group?

Josh Widdicombe (1:24)

He doesn't get even named.

Rob Beckett (1:30)

He's not wanted to do that, has he?

Josh Widdicombe (1:32)

Dear Rob, Josh and Michael, sorry, it's a long one, but it's fine with us.

But here are our just turned two-year-old twin girls, Olivia and Grace, in the best attempt to date at your names. Thanks for the laughs. Catherine Chambers from Counten Durham. My husband is from Hertfordshire, and we now live in Whitley Bay in the northeast coast.

Rob Beckett (1:52)

Right. Maybe it explains his mood.

Josh Widdicombe (1:55)

He's not happy, is he?

Rob Beckett (2:00)

I think he loves his wife and family. He's just, he's gone to Hertfordshire. I love Whitley Bay. Nice place, but...

Josh Widdicombe (2:06)

Do you love Whitley Bay?

Rob Beckett (2:07)

He might love it.

I've been there. I've got friends there. It's very lovely and a nice place to visit when I'm in Newcastle. Can't fault it. Actually, a nice little day trip out if you want to get out of the city centre somewhere close to the beach. Would I want to live there? Probably not.

Josh Widdicombe (2:22)

No.

Rob Beckett (2:23)

Because I've got no links there.

Josh Widdicombe (2:24)

Yeah.

Rob Beckett (2:25)

But I would obviously move if my partner was from there.

But, you know, would I really live in Bromley if there wasn't loads of childcare? Probably not.

Josh Widdicombe (2:34)

Where would you live?

Rob Beckett (2:36)

New York, Manhattan, Times Square. No, I'm joking. Where would I live?

To be fair, I like where we are, but I think I'd be on the same edge of London, but maybe a little bit more south, towards the west or north.

Michael (2:54)

You become a billionaire.

Josh Widdicombe (2:57)

I want you to- Become?

Rob Beckett (2:58)

Well, what's happened? Have I lost some money?

Josh Widdicombe (3:02)

I want you to name your houses, please.

Rob Beckett (3:06)

Honestly, even if you've got the money, I find it hassle.

Josh Widdicombe (3:09)

So you're just sticking with-

Rob Beckett (3:11)

I'm just sticking- I'm sticking with where I am.

Josh Widdicombe (3:13)

You're sticking with what? Yeah.

Rob Beckett (3:15)

I'm staying in the house I'm in.

Josh Widdicombe (3:16)

You're not.

Rob Beckett (3:17)

I am. I can't be bothered with extra rooms. I've got- I can't- honestly, I've been- I've- how do I word this? I've been to too many big sad houses to realize big is not better.

I'm not naming names.

Josh Widdicombe (3:32)

Names of names.

Rob Beckett (3:33)

But- no, look, the kids, I wouldn't want to move the kids' school.

Josh Widdicombe (3:38)

Yeah.

Rob Beckett (3:39)

So, I might get somewhere. I might-

I've not looked, because I'm happy where I am, but I probably would find somewhere maybe that was a bit fancier than what we've got now, but not much bigger. But could have- I don't know. Maybe.
