Moments: Father's Day Special

0:28This episode is brought to you by Google Health. Jamie, I've got a little surprise for you. So we contacted Poppy. What? And we said, could you just like kind of just give us a little note to read out to your dad? Okay. She's done something kind of extraordinary, actually. All right. But I'm going to read it to you. She's quite a good writer. She's an extremely good writer. Okay. Are you going to get me in bits? I don't know. but this is this is this is beautifully written hi dad hi when i was asked to write about the impact you've had on our lives so many things came to my mind it's funny when you're younger it's hard to fully appreciate everything your parents do for you but as i've grown up and started to become my own person i've come to realize just how much of an influence you've had on me and my siblings.

1:24To put it lightly, your impact has been profound. I've always felt lucky to have your steady, unwavering support as a dad. There was never a time I doubted that I could pick up the phone and ask for your help. You've taught us to be ambitious, to push our confidence, still a working process for all of us, but no one has encouraged it more than you, to value hard work and to always stay humble. Growing up in a family as wonderfully mad and unique as ours could have gone a very different way but the way you and mum raised us kindness is at the heart of everything. It's shaped who we are. I know the younger ones will grow up feeling inspired by all you've done but right now I know for certain that Daisy and I already are.

2:15I think that's a huge reason why we've chosen jobs that reflect the values you've instilled in us thank you for letting us be so open for accepting all our differences and for championing the quirks that make us who we are thank you for believing we're capable of more than we think ourselves and for doing everything in your power to make us the best version of ourselves above all I think what's had the biggest impact on me is watching your relationship with mum. Growing up with you both as a team has shaped how I carry myself in my own relationships. You've shown us that nothing is ever completely smooth sailing, but you both seem to weather whatever life throws your way and through all the tough times have come out stronger on the other side with lots of laughs in between.

3:07we all love you lots and are so proud of everything you're doing poppy oh bless her that's beautiful isn't that so thank you what a nice surprise and she's been ghosting me this week as well i've messaged her three times and she hasn't replied that's probably why um but you know that idea of inspiring your kids with the relationship that you have is really special yeah Yeah, we're very, very blessed. It strikes me so many people, they either want to be their parents or they just desperately don't want to be their parents. Yeah. Or sort of bits in between. I mean, I definitely, as a dad, I would say things to my kids and I'd go, why have I heard that before?

3:53It's like, oh my God, I'm turning to my dad. Really? Do you say the same things as... Yeah. It made me feel a little bit sick that I just said that, you know. But then at the same time, the good things about your parents. So it's quite weird how, until this moment, I've never really thought, I wonder what's the legacy. What do you think yours is? Whether, if you ask my kids when I'm not around, do you want to be like your dad or do you not want to be like your dad? Well, Woody obviously does. He's DJing, right? Yeah, he's DJing and he's wearing louder shirts than me. I think at the moment he's trying to outdo me.

4:29It's quite funny. If you see him DJing, he's so funny. He's so good. But I'm known for being eclectic. He's really eclectic. Is he? And I'm known for showing off a bit. But it's like he's gone... Well, he grew up watching me DJing. So it's like, for him, that's the benchmark. It's showy, offy DJ. So he's like, I'm going to do what Dad does, but I'm going to put a little bit of pizzazz into it. Plus one. Yeah. I've got a present for you. I've got to find it. Is this going to make me cry? I hope so. OK. On that caveat. So, you can read it. Right. Ready? OK. I'm going to push these further up your nose because you need to look at the bottom of them to be able to read it.

5:09Right. Because otherwise... I'm going to recognise the handwriting. You might. You might. Right. The dad bit's probably a giveaway. Hello, Mr Slim. Or should I say dad? It's me, Woody. You might remember me from such things as my childhood. That's a big saying in our house. I'm just popping in to say how much you mean to me. You're an all right DJ, but you're an even better dad. And the person I am is directly because of you. You just referenced, you know, we've referenced all this before. The person I am is directly because of you. In any situation, the lessons you taught me would always be the same.

5:54I think more than anyone else You have so much time for people So much love for people And you always taught me to be there For everyone around me From a very young age You give a little love And it all comes back to you So here's me giving it back to you I love you dad There you have made me cry

6:18Bless you, thank you Woody Thank you Woody That letter Like you two have done an amazing job I don't know now as well But from what I know of Woody From what you've told me What a lovely boy Both my kids are fabulous And like I said Well done Me and Zoe actually discuss How on earth did we raise two such Because you're lovely people Well adjusted, beautiful, kind children You know, they should be Because you two are well adjusted, beautiful and kind I'm not sure if we are But thank you My favourite Woody quote was I had these sort of old man slippers that I used to wear. And they're actually quite hip.

7:00They're called homies or something. Oh, yeah. But they're like deliberately old man slippers. And one day I was wearing them, and I think I was wearing them with a cardigan combination. And he went, Dad, you've got to stop wearing that thing. I know it's just around the house, but, yeah. And I said, what's wrong with my slippers? I said, you know, they're my ironic old man slippers. And he looked at me and he just went, Dad, there's nothing ironic about an old man wearing old man slippers
