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
The Bleedin’ Dad Joke Special
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week… we’ve completely lost the plot.
No “then vs now,” no deep chats — just a full-on Bleedin’ Dad Joke head-to-head.
Five jokes each.
No filter.
No mercy.
Just ten absolutely terrible jokes.
While Lew’s off living his best life on holiday, we didn’t want to leave you hanging — so we’ve pre-recorded this chaotic special where it’s Dad vs Son to see who actually delivers the better (or worse) punchlines.
From immortal cats to questionable woodworking courses… it’s exactly what you’d expect — and somehow worse.
👉 We need you to decide the winner:
Was it Lew or Steve?
Drop us a message, comment, or DM and cast your vote.
Short, painful, and definitely not award-winning… but if you made it to the end — fair play.
Follow, subscribe, leave a review, and we’ll be back next week with a proper episode.
