This week on Cockney & Son, things get surprisingly dramatic… because Dad’s officially been recognised in public and it may have gone straight to his head.

From bank holiday chaos, soaked pedalo disasters and planning the girly’s birthday party, to SATs week stress and the debate around schools closing for polling stations, Lew and Steve are back with another honest, funny and completely unfiltered episode.

This week’s Adam & Eve It tackles the frustration around school attendance fines, inset days and election week closures… while Say It Like Steve dives into the growing conversation around weight loss jabs, dieting and whether modern life is making healthy living harder than ever.

Plus there’s terrible dad jokes, old-school opinions, and a reminder that none of us actually remember Year 6 maths.

If you like proper conversations, a bit of nostalgia and two generations trying to make sense of modern life… this one’s for you.

SPEAKER_01

Cockney and son. Now don't be daft. We've got proper opinions and plenty of graft. Old school chat with the podcast twist. So stick the kettle on you don't wanna miss. Cockney and son, two generations who want London. Go blame me, governor.

SPEAKER_00

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Cockney and Son Series 2, episode 13. Now apparently 13 is an unlucky number. And honestly, after this week, I'm starting to believe it. We've had bank holiday chaos, dad's metaphand, I've got absolutely soaked whilst pedaling the unicorn around, and now officially I've reached a stage in my life where I've had to order glasses because my eyes are apparently now mature. Coming up, we're talking SAT week, school shutting down for voting day. Well, parents get fined for taking kids out, and Dad gives his thoughts on weight loss jabs. So let's kick it off with a little bit of governor.

SPEAKER_01

It's now time for a bit of a nutter.

SPEAKER_00

So we had a bank holiday weekend. We did. I I already know what the highlight of your weekend is, and I think it's gone to your head because well you can tell the story of your first public recognition.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, it's a bit of a sh well, say a shock. I was like, I was on my yeah, on my bike. Yeah. Having a little ride. Was you peddling? Yeah, no, yeah, I was peddling, right? Riding around. And so I had to go to the post office, pick up a parcel.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So I unlocked um padlocked my bike up, and then like I see this girl, she was on one of these. Very detailed story. Yeah, she was one on one of these electric bikes. Yeah. But then she stopped. But I thought she was like just looking for directions or that. And then she just went, you know, she said hello. I went, all right. And then she said, uh, oh I follow your son Lou. Yeah. I said, Oh, you do? She said, Yeah, like the two dads. I went, Oh right. I said, you know, we do a podcast. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that. Yeah. I went, yeah. She said, I was shocked that he's he was and pleased that he was from Pimlico. Yeah, originally. I told her where we where we lived and that. On the estate. And she said, Yeah, she said, 'cause I'm a big you know Chelsea fan, like real. I went, oh right. And then she said, Yeah. I said, and I asked her name, and I she said, well, it it doesn't know me, but he you know, I do a comment now and then.

SPEAKER_00

And then she just wrote So but she obviously recognised you. Well of course. And you said you were wearing a helmet. Well I have your crash helmet on still. You still so you had your crash helmet on, so obviously she still recognised you. So although it seems And yeah, dark glasses. You had dark glasses on as well. I had pins on, yeah. Well, although it seems that she stopped to tell you that she sort of recognised you, yeah, but obviously she must like Cockney and son. Because obviously she recognised you because you're not that on two dads in a couple of things. I didn't know who she was.

SPEAKER_02

No, I didn't know who she was. Well no. Yeah, you know, so she must as I say she must have recognised you from the Cockney and Son, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

All I'm saying is she might secretly just be a massive Cockney and son fan. She might be our one listener. Yeah. So how did it make you feel? Well, you know.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Did you sign anything? No, not no, I didn't have a pen. Well, get used to it because I have a lot of people. I couldn't have signed, I could have signed a baseball captain. Yeah. I always find it weird. It was it was just just sort of not happened to you before. Well, no, it was just like, you know, a bit random, like you know. Yeah. I'm fine when it's just me and Richard. When we've got the kids, I find it a bit like, oh, oh, because it's like Well I remember that time on the train. Yeah. When it's why obviously we don't mention the kids' names on social media because if it doesn't happen a lot, I'm not talking I can't go out to get a pint of milk. Well, I might might not be able to now.

SPEAKER_02

That's the same. That's when I pulled up, I had to wait in case you know the public.

SPEAKER_00

Let's hypothetically pick a name out of out of the air, Nora. Yeah? Nora. Because obviously the girlie's not called Dora.

SPEAKER_02

Old fashion name.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Nora. And obviously someone goes, Oh, Rich Lou. They go, Nora. Obviously, that would be like confusing for that little kid. So yeah, so that's why we don't do that. Anyway, let's forget your rise to fame. Oh no, yes, yes. You're gonna be a Pimlico celebrity now. Well, I had a great bank holiday weekend. The highlight was Richard found this place called St. Andrew's Lakes. I think that was the name of it. It's actually not that far. I have heard people talk about it, but we've never been there. So we didn't book nothing. So this is why I don't understand Richard where it's out in Kent. Okay. It's out in Kent. But you know what our kids are like. So Richard drives up to this place, which he apparently didn't realise what it was like, which I don't believe. Zip wires, archery. There was like, you know what we went on in South of Francia, the inflatable thing on the river. One of those a beach, and there was like a little little wine, didn't book nothing. Like, we're just gonna go for a walk around to the kids. Can you imagine that? Okay, we're not gonna go on anything, we're just gonna go for a little walk around.

SPEAKER_02

I'll bet that will.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, mate. The girly was nearly undressing to get into that the water. Yeah. Uh, and the boy wanted to do, can I just do archery? Can I just do this? Yeah, yeah. Was it that? That's 25 quid just to do one of those activities. Yeah. So I was that elegate, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we decided to go on a pedalo. Richard's dad was with us. Yeah, yeah. And he thought he could get out of it actually, because obviously you normally think four people on a pedal. But they said, Oh, actually, because the two kids are probably the same weight as one adult. Oh, so they let us all go on. So it was a lovely sunny day, and then we're peddling around in this unicorn thing, and then I said, Wouldn't it be funny if it just started pouring down with rain?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you've done the old mockers, did you?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I jinxed it. So we got out to the centre of the lake, not a little bit, yeah, yeah. Like this. That normally happens to me. Soaked. Yeah. And I I got on the pedo moaning that I sat in a little bit of water and I was like, oh, my shorts are a bit wet. Ugh. And then obviously came off the thing, soaked the boat, yeah. And the staff went, Yeah, we were all watching you rushing back. So yeah. And then we we me and Richard are pedaling to be right back, get off, literally walk two minutes, son. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I've definitely inherited your gene for luck.

SPEAKER_02

But other than that, we didn't really do much. Yeah. I went to I met up with my old school mate on on Friday.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Of many years, we've known each other.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Had a little catch-up. Well, that sounds riveting. It was. Next time, can you record the conversation and we can play it back and hopefully get more views and ratings. If you want me to I'll record record it. The drama obviously of last week for us was the girdie's glasses. Yeah. Stropped through, stepped, snap. But obviously, if you have been following along with stories on Two Days in London, you know that I like a bargain and I managed to find a pair of frames for five pounds and vintage and the guy popped them in. But yeah, May, we're in May now, and obviously, double birthday. Yes. Got a lot sorted for the girlies. Good. Birthday with her friend. She's given out an invitation to pretty much the entire school, so I'm slightly worried. Very much how many sandwiches I'm going to have to buy. I didn't say food I was concluded on the invitation. You're going to buy the sandwiches. Well, I might buy up with the first two and then just go dry bread. Dry bread a bit, Billy Bearham. Billy Bearham. I didn't even write. Because nowadays you have to be like, any allergies? Oh, yeah, yeah. Any any do you not like this? Do you want I go, no? I'm just going to put a load of party food on the side. Got ordered some bouncy castles and I might may even use her karaoke machine and do a few party games. I'm so excited for it. She'll she'll love it. Oh, of course she'll be a big thing for her. Considering we had a bank holiday weekend, Richard didn't plan too much. Which is unusual, isn't it? Yeah, I know. I was like, are you okay? I know every day. We're not doing anything today, no? Oh, okay. Okay. Are you sure you're okay? Maybe he's got to come down with another bug. Other than that, the biggest thing that's going to be happening next week is the SATs. Ooh. Okay. The SATs, which is obviously the year six exams, which I know that obviously is more to see how the kids have learnt for the primary school. They don't I don't know. There's a th that thing, isn't it, where you don't know if that really makes a difference to the secondary school like classes that the kids are putting. Because I know that when they get to secondary school, he's got to go for another round of tests. But yeah, so that's stressing him out.

SPEAKER_02

So he's yeah, I remember I had a flashback then.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, too much. What the SATs? Yeah. What was it? Crop crops? Washing by the lake. But obviously, when he gets stressed, he gets a bit mouthy. Yeah. So we'll we'll find that out this afternoon because I'm going out. I'm just gonna leave him with you. Okay, I'll just tie him up. Well, that's our week. A little bit of a natter just about what we've been up to, and now we're gonna switch it and have a little bit of a moan. Don't sugarcoat it.

SPEAKER_01

Sometimes in life, you just gotta say it like Steve.

SPEAKER_00

So for Adam and Eve, the last two weeks you've had a moan about tube strikes and potholes. Yes. This week I'm gonna take the lead and have a little bit of a moan about something. I'm not moaning about it because it's affected me, yeah. But I'm just gonna put it out there for the discussion because I think it's one of those situations where it's okay when you do it, but when we do it, the parents, it it's an issue, okay? Okay, okay. So it's election week, isn't it? It is. So and some schools are closed because they are they're becoming polling stations. Right. So obviously we had a bank holiday Monday, didn't we? We did. Right. So, and this podcast is going to go out on Friday, so the polling stations would have been on Thursday, right? It is, right? So I know some parents who are taking their kids away this week because obviously the bank holiday weekend, the bank holiday Monday was not in school, and then their school is closed on the Thursday. Okay. So they're technically only in school three days, yeah. Okay. So my issue is this the kids' schools are open and then they're not polling stations. So how is that fair? Yeah, that the kids are missing a day of school for polling stations, yeah, but you can't take your kid out of school just to go and do something. Yeah, yes, yeah. That's what I'm saying. So you get fined if you want to take your kid out of school, yeah, but oh, it's a polling day. Yeah. But that doesn't that's not a across the board thing because the kids' schools are closed. Yeah. So I could say, well, actually, I'm gonna take the kids out of school on this day because that school, that school, and that school are closed for polling stations. Well, you know, that's only fair, right?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, of course. But it's like also it's like the um when they have uh an insect day. Yeah. Can't they do them during the holidays? I mean, they're getting up holidays, can't they do them during the well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

That's another day that the kids are not having schooling. Yeah. You know? Well, I mean, the thing is, our school did a thing where they combined the inset days into a week. So in October, that means they get another week, so they get two weeks off, and that's where all their inset days are. But I know that we have got one in June. So I don't really know how it works. Yeah, but I think mine just my my bit of a moan is that like if you are if you need the child care, if you've got to pay for child care, so this day, like polling stations, the school use, and I know that they need to use places, but that all those parents at that school are gonna have to find childcare because they've decided to open it up. Does the school get paid for that?

SPEAKER_02

Well, I don't know, but I mean there's enough, there is enough other places they could use. I mean, there's churches they could use, you know. So, you know community centres, there must be many community centres about.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so I don't know if it's one of those hack things that parents put up, like if you're gonna take your kid away and you're taking your kid away during polling station week or whatever it is, you could say, Well, yeah, I want my kid to go to school on that day. Yeah, of course. That school's open. Why is your school not open?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it doesn't mean it's a bit strange. Will I have to use schools?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I just think like I see these things online and it's it's such a hard well, you know, back in the day, if I if you took me out of school in the 90s, 80s, late 80s, did you get fined then? No. What happened?

SPEAKER_02

Nothing.

SPEAKER_00

So how long could you take the kids out of school for without the school saying anything?

SPEAKER_02

Well the thing is I don't think many parents did do that. They just waited for the score of these. Right. You know, but then but then all all of a sudden these travel people put all the prices up, which is a bit unfair. Yeah. You know? That's when they started taking them out. But yeah, I don't think they used to do that. Uh get everyone going, yeah, they used to do. They used to find a thruppence. Well, I don't remember uh well what we never used to take that as well really, but I don't I don't I've never heard of lot.

SPEAKER_00

So maybe, maybe then there you go, you've said it. Like because of the prices in holidays, maybe back then, I can't see it being exactly the same cost if you was gonna go away for a week out of school term, it's definitely probably cheaper. But obviously the schools didn't take it that too seriously back then.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_00

But um or we were scared in case you got caned. Caned? No, well not aware. I went to school and you went to school.

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, I mean it's uh it it just seems a bit unfair. Yeah. That you you know you could have schools that are closed and then the kids, as you say, you've got to pay charcoal, yeah. Or find someone look after them if you can't afford the extra charcoal.

SPEAKER_00

I'm sure the teachers love it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, but they do.

SPEAKER_00

Because obviously SAT we SATs are next week, yeah. So the schools that have closed, uh are those year sixes technically missing a day? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really important. Did you think about that? Yes, obviously I didn't. I know someone is in charge of the polling. You do. Yeah. That's very important guy.

SPEAKER_02

Are you gonna vote? I am. Oh yeah. I've already sent my postal vote off. Yeah. Yeah. It's gone. Who did you vote for? I can't tell you. It's classified. It's classified. No one needs to know.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. To be fair, I always ask Richard. Richard is very clued up, and I just say to him, Who should we vote for? Yeah. And he sort of tells me But then there's a lot of people who don't vote. To go out and vote.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and then you get a lot of people that don't vote, they're the ones that like to, you know, have a moan-up about the country, but they can't be bothered to go and vote.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Don't forget your ID take or take a pen. Yes, they used to.

SPEAKER_02

Is that what they say? Well, they used to provide pencils, pencil, but then it could get rubbed out, you know. You know, you've got to be careful, you know. Dodge. Yeah. It's all a bit dodgy, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, because you know, you're supposed to go in them booths on your on your own, you know, and and it's all with a pen, you know, anyone could just get them after empty and oh, where'd that output?

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I have all major political situations in the past I've called what what's actually happened. A lot of people said no, that won't happen. And I've been right. Like Mystic Make. Yeah, I am a bit psychic. Oh, this is a bit controversial, this this this episode, isn't it? Is it? Yeah, we've gone from talking about just all fun things like Easter and now we're like polling, politics. Yeah. Yeah. Moving on to the next part of the podcast. We'll set them. I'm very interested to see how this one goes. Don't sugarcoat it. Sometimes in life, you just gotta say it like Steve. So this week for Say It Like Steve, we don't have a question. We do have a question, but it's not like an advice, it's just your opinion. Okay. And I'm worried. You're worried? Because I feel like somebody is potentially sabbat trying to sabotage the podcast.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_00

With the questions. But I actually do feel that it is a topic that is out there. Lots of people I know are are using this. Okay. Yeah. And there's no right or wrong. I'm just setting you up. Well, there's no right or wrong answer to this. I just want your view on it. Okay. So obviously the question is, what do you think about weight loss jabs?

SPEAKER_02

Weight loss jabs.

SPEAKER_00

So weight loss injections. Obviously, don't know if you have seen much about it.

SPEAKER_02

Well, no, actually, when I was doing the prescriptions, the jab that uh one of the jabs that they use that they are using, yeah, the lady used have four of them. Right. So she just won one one a week like jabba for her insulin and all that, you know? Yeah. So one day I've gone that gone to deliver the prescription and she'd oh, have you got me me pens? Yeah. I went, Oh no, she said, uh normally they tell me they'll put a stick in the book. In the fridge. So I said, No, when I go back, I'll uh Right.

SPEAKER_00

So is this the weight loss jab or this is diagnosed?

SPEAKER_02

No, this is and then what happened? They was running out because they was giving out these jabs for the weight loss people you know for weight loss. Yeah. So then she had before they the it was running out, so then she have to have another one that she had to do every day, you know, every day. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

You know, which she didn't wanna want to do obviously. The way that these pens I thought originally came out were as a diabetic Yeah, that's what they're for diabetic prevention. So obviously people who aren't, let's say, diabetic are using them as Yeah, they are. What I think is they just make you feel like you're not hungry, I guess. Take away the cravings.

SPEAKER_02

But apparently this some side effects that people are having with them.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I don't I don't actually know if you're not if you're not having it for the proper reason. This week I've not prepared with internet downloads because obviously I'm not gonna say something that's not not true or worry people out there. So yeah, so it's not talk about we don't really know what the side effects are. Like with any medication, yeah, sure. Yeah. I mean, there's side effects for parasitic.

SPEAKER_02

One of my mates was suffer was told to take these. No, no, no. He was told to take the j the jabs. Yeah. But when he went to get them, the he's the pharmacist or whatever obviously saw his record and said, you know, you can't take these with the medication that you're on. Yeah. So anyway, he went, okay, so he did he didn't take them. So but then when he went back for another uh checkup, yeah, the lady said to him, Oh, I see not producing the jabs. No. What? Because it said it because it's like. Because he was still big. And then he told you know, and he told her, like, my doctor the pharmacist said not not to uh use them because of the medications I'm already on. So, you know, you gotta be I suppose you've got to be careful. Because there are people that are selling. Yeah, but you don't know what you're what you're gonna what you're getting. Well, it's like anything you buy anything online you don't know what you're getting, do you?

SPEAKER_00

So but so what so what do you think uh if somebody has come to the to the doctors for weight loss, yeah, and do you think the injection should just be given Willy Linny, or is there some sort of things that they're like well I just think it all depends what sort of state, you know, because like you know, what I'm saying is back in the day, back in the day, if obviously there weren't like they say, there weren't a weight issue back in the day, because obviously there were people obviously that were less clinically overweight, but it weren't as much because obviously they say the processed foods, the exercise, and all obviously all those factors you know of the lifestyle, because you always see these pictures on social media like America in the 1950s, and everyone's like supermodel, muscular, and now they show 2026 obviously with a different picture. Do you think that that's gonna stop? Obviously, when I was working in the NHS, you got people referred and you had to go through diet and lifestyle, or you got they got referred to a gym, which obviously then is lifestyle, a diet, lifestyle, and fitness. Yeah, yeah. So that's obviously how you would lose weight before m having medication. So do you think that it's going to get to a point where they just go, don't worry about that, let's just have that.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, and also the people will be like that. The people go, Well, you know, I won't need to I won't need to um diet or do fitness or gym, I'll just get one of these jabs. Yeah. It's a you know, it it's it's one of those subjects where you know, do you think is it right if people missing out on their insulin, what it's meant for? Yeah. Like this lady that I'd live with too, she had to then go inject herself every day instead of the four, you know, yeah, every week, you know, that's a bit unfair. Well, she couldn't shed then shed away two days because the the the stock wasn't in.

SPEAKER_00

I mean I think it's like anything. It's like when when you talk about diet and exercise, you know, there's only there's only so much that you could do. You know, there's been so many diets and stuff like that out, like, you know, all those things. But it's only sustainable for a little bit, and then what happens is people come off of it and then generally speaking they put all the weight back on anyway. But I'm just saying with with this, it's very expensive. If you're not getting it on the NHS or whatever, and you're trying to buy it in the shops, I think it's quite expensive. So there's only so long that if you buy if you're buying it, there's only so that's a lot of costs per week or month or whatever it is.

SPEAKER_02

You know, it don't help when you sort of go down a lot of the ice streets and every other shop is a takeaway shop, or yeah. You know, it's it's money, isn't it? Yeah, but it's also like the where the people as like as you're saying back in the day, people used to cook from scratch. Yeah. Most dinners. Yeah. And as the generation has gone on, like today they don't want to cook.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I haven't got I ain't got a problem with anyone doing that.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, not at all. No, it's that if that's if that's what they want to do.

SPEAKER_00

And if you tried everything and nothing worked. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. If it's if that's the last result, then yeah. My thing is, if you're say like 30, yeah, and you're taking it, yeah. Are you now going to inject yourself for the rest of your life? Exactly.

SPEAKER_02

Because if you stop. Yeah, yeah, of course. But it's like when you see some of these becoming quite addictive, then isn't it? Well, you see when you see some of these programs, you know, the the really massive people, yeah, and what they're eating, and you think, well, how can you like how can you really afford all that food as well?

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's the thing, obviously, yeah. A lot of the cheap, cheapest food that you can buy is the food that's not great for you, isn't it? Well, I think even yeah, but even like that, them foods now are getting Yeah. But I was interested because they're completely not off-subject, but I f saw this TikTok or that was basically saying what they learn in school, yeah, but what they should be learning in school.

SPEAKER_02

Well they don't do it. They used to do domestic science, didn't they? The girls used to some boys and that used to be how to learn how to cook. Yeah, save yourself then. Knock that on the edge, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But what I'm saying is, if a kid leaves primary school or secondary school, let's just say how many of those kids, this is a this is a question for you, how many of those kids do you think know how to grow a carrot?

SPEAKER_02

None of them. Well, no, I'll just some adults who don't know how to do that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you know, that's what I'm saying. So actually, that that's kind of cost effective as well, because obviously I don't know how to grow a carrot, yeah. No. Let's just say, but this is the scary thing, isn't it? There's a cost of living crisis going on and people can't afford healthy food because of that. But they're not. But how do you grow a carrot? It might it might only cost you, you know, a pound to buy carrot seeds. I don't even know what what what you do.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but then when you go to the scary part, but when you go into but when you go into a supermarket, then carrots are not that expensive, are they?

SPEAKER_00

No, but what I'm saying is if you had people just don't want to cook. No, but what I'm saying is if you could grow your own vegetables, then I wonder how much that would cost compared to if you were buying your vegetables, so then you would only have to go and buy your you know your meat or whatever. But that's what I'm saying. Why is that not taught taught in schools? That's right. But it's like um I want to find out how to grow carrot now.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, back years ago, like also like the mums used but the mums used to teach a you know that also pass on their you know the cooking skills and all that, but that don't happen anymore, does it?

SPEAKER_00

Because it's not what I'm saying is it is it's hard to not be sucked into those views that are like get the population overweight, yeah. Yeah, then make them pay to lose weight. Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But I mean you go like it's like those places they go to the Slimmy World or whatever it's called. Slimmy World. Slim World and Yeah. Yeah, you're paying about a fiver just to go in.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. You know that's a goal to like get yourself weighed and stuff. But even that's bad because you probably go every week.

SPEAKER_02

So I mean that's 20 quid a month just on just get going in to be weighed to be told.

SPEAKER_00

It's not like you when you were younger, because if you didn't hunt that's right, you didn't eat.

SPEAKER_02
