Cockney & Son
Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.
From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.
Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.
Cockney & Son
Episode 24: Festive Stress, Social Media Mess & Dad joke regrets
Episode 24 is here — and we’re officially knee-deep in Christmas chaos. From ceramic trees to collapsing garlands, Elf-on-the-Shelf disasters, panic buying gravy on Uber, and the pure joy of a £2 advent calendar… Lew and Steve break down the ultimate 2025 festive checklist and realise just how mad December has become.
Then it’s onto Adam & Eve It, where the pair tackle the very British tradition of moaning all month long: the cold, the queues, the wrapping paper that’s gone walkabout, and the eternal mystery of where the sellotape edge disappears to.
We also cover:
🎄 Keeping the peace on Christmas Day (or avoiding arguments entirely)
🎄 Matching PJs, Christmas Eve boxes & posh Santa visits
🎄 When festive coffees cost more than a small mortgage
🎄 Why Steve’s mattress was apparently made of hay
🎄 And… a fresh batch of dad jokes that may or may not have been written by “Steve’s team of professional writers.”
It’s festive mayhem, Cockney logic, and two generations trying to survive December without decking more than just the halls.
Stick the kettle on — you don’t wanna miss this one
