Newly Parents episode is a chaotic Father’s Day chat between hosts Jamie Lang and Sophie Lang, mixing parenting talk with body/beauty stories and gross-but-funny “satisfying” smells. Key topics: fathers getting credit (they argue dads are praised for small moments), Sophie’s recent salmon sperm eye/under-eye injections and Jamie’s past hair transplant, and a long debate about whether anyone enjoys the smell of their own farts. Jamie recounts his hair transplant in Nottingham done in a stranger’s house/living room, using local anaesthetic, with 1,200 follicles taken from the back; he says the result left a darker “moustache” front and he had to spray healing salt water every two hours.
Willis (Jamie’s hairdresser friend) getting salmon sperm and later having severe eye issues; Sophie describing her copper eyebrows after lightening; listener messages praising dads and a story about accidentally parking in a dogging spot.

0:00Well hello you little chipmunks. I look like a chipmunk today. Your breast smells like that pancake. Like that pancake. I didn't say anything else. That pancake's delicious. It's what I make for my son Annamal Carvel. Okay well listen ladies and gentlemen welcome back to Newly Parents. On the menu today we are talking about the sweet glorious smell of your own fart. Disgusting. It's not disgusting. It's talking about father's day. It's father's day. And also we have a story about salmon sperm. All of that coming up in the show. Welcome. Come on in. It's newly parents. Remember to subscribe. Let's go.
0:36Hello, I'm Jamie Lang. And I'm Sophie Lang. And now we're newly parents. Oh, yeah, we are, baby. Ready. We're ready. We are ready. Ready. Ready. I'm going to tell you something before we start. I love that you put socks on because otherwise your feet are just constantly everyone's face. but these socks are mildly offensive and I'm just not sure why. Because they only come just above my ankle. They come just above. There's something about a man in a suit with a sock that's just ick. And I'll tell you what else and I'm looking down the room because I'm so sorry. Oh no, I think you will the mum around me but I can't bear a trainer sock on a man.
1:22Wait, hang on. So there's something about a man with a sock and a suit is an ick. Sorry. So I'm giving you the ick right now. I've got to reframe that. Like, I don't... Reframe? Rephrase. It's not a trainer sock. It's like a ballet pump sock. You know, the girlies wear them. Like, we have like a... If you're wearing a dolly shoe, which I also think is mildly icky. Sorry, girls. But those like little pop socks. Oh, do you remember pop socks? I don't know what pop socks are. When you were a girl and you used to go and like try on shoes, you were given like literally a granny sock, which was like a tight...
1:56A sock that was a tight. it was like skin colour and so rank and everyone in the in the shoe shop had probably worn it and you had to put it on to try on a bloody shoe when you were like going to school yeah anyway a trainer sock like a ballet pump sock on a boy is like ah ah no so what I'm wearing right now is an ick no it's actually not that icky I don't I don't know what I don't know what's wrong with it it just looks very like where are your shoes but I guess none of us are wearing shoes I'm I feel like I'm dressing like a middle aged man at the moment I'm wearing a cardigan I love a cardigan.
2:29I know, I'm wearing a lot of cardigans. I don't want people to come for me because I know you will say that I'm mean to Jamie and look, I'm really, really not. But like these green trousers, we've got to find another pair. It's the Izzy Miyake. You're wearing fucking slippers. Look at you. Okay, hang on. I'm a new top, never worn it before. All right, I'm going to be honest with you, right? Okay, Sophie looks pretty smoke show right now, right? You look smoke show. No, no, no, we can't talk about that now because I have a really puffy face because I've had Profilo done. and it's so swollen. Yeah, but listen, you look smoke show all the time.
3:01You look great. When people see you on the street, you look great. When people see you in photos, man, you look hot. Let's go, girl. Let me tell you, when people see me on the street, they don't think I look great. They're literally like, holla, holla. They shout at me. I walk around with like full ginger eyebrows and like white face, tanned body. Like, it's not a look. Like sick in my hair, baby sick in my hair. Like all different clothes on. You look hot. So you look hot. So I'm like, I'm like at work, right? And I'll see Sophie's like posted a photo of her, like a little bit of a thirst trap girl.
3:35It's like Sophie, like in a bikini. Anyway, I'm literally like, man, she looks so hot. Like my wife is so hot. I then come home, I open the door. Sophie's in a dressing gown, like a dressing gown. But the dressing gown is like thick. You hate my dressing gowns. Like you need to get a grip with the dressing gown. You look like Mrs. Doubtfire in it. Guys, he actually is horrific about the dressing gowns. You look, I can't describe what you look like though. I'm going to paint the picture. It's also summer. It's like hot. Yeah, and our house is freezing cold. It's not hot. It's raining and you refuse to put any heating on and you open every window because you're Scottish.
4:14Like the house is brrr. I'm freezing. Ziggy's freezing. Why is every window open? Ziggy's not cold. Ziggy's not cold. He's actually roasting hot. he's not roasting hot we're not going to go down this route again he's absolutely roasting hot I want to just walk through what my dressing gown looks like because it is really ugly it's like an oat colour an oat colour? I would say it's oat it's not beige it's not it's oat the same colour as oat the most bland of all colours blandest of all colours it's like you know those anxiety blankets that like kids or babies or whatever people have like their thick like dressing gown but like almost more fuzzy almost like what you'd think a poodle's hair would be like if it was like not permed.
4:58Unbelievable description. Unbelievable description. And it's thick. On the top of their head. Do you know the little poodle on top of their head? That colour. No, no, no. That's not what it's like. It's like the poodle on the body that's not been permed. Anyway, or blow dried. Like a natural poodle. Like an ungroomed poodle. And I love it. It goes on my jeans. It goes over my jumper. It goes over my jumper. I love that dressing gown. And then I'm like dying. I'm really into like lightening my eyebrows because God knows what's happened to them over the years. Like they used to be the same color as my hair, but like, no.
5:29Okay, that's a lie. My hair's dyed. So I'm not going to lie to you guys. So I'm lightening them. But alas, no one tells you that when you lighten your eyebrows, you put the toner on them, right? So when I lighten them, they are like a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous shade of copper. Like that is the only way to describe it. They are as ginger as ginger can bloody be. and then I put on a nice ashy toner and the toner doesn't last because I put so many creams and oils on and who knew that oils and creams take the toner away. So every fucking day I'm re-toning these fucking eyebrows. So when I'm not doing anything in front of a camera, I'm leaving them copper.
6:07I'm walking around the streets of London with my baby with these ginger slugs on my eyebrows and my blonde and brown all sorts. I'm like 50 shades of like God knows in my hair.

8:16their sort of credit sometimes they deserve. Can I say that? Yeah, you can say that, but it is also like hit and miss because a lot of the time it's like, oh my God, my husband's so great. He like looked after the baby for half an hour. It's like, why are they fucking great for doing that? We look after them for the other 23 and a half hours in the day. Like what? But having said that, fathers are great and they are amazing and they should get credit. And that's not all fathers who only look after their kid for half an hour a day. Okay, so because we're having a good day about it, why don't you give me some compliments?
8:51Okay. Go on, here we go. I think you are amazing with Ziggy. I think you love him so much. I think you're almost, you love him so much that you almost not try too hard in that way. I'm meaning like you should just allow your natural instincts to go. I think you're so desperate to be such a good dad, which is so sweet, that I think you like make it harder for yourself because you are amazing and like you don't have to, like you don't have to try so hard. Like you naturally are amazing. When do I try so hard? Do I, I feel like I do try too hard. I think he notices it. I think you're like worried that you like hold him wrong or something.
9:31Like you can just hold him in the way you're holding him. Like he's robust. My boy's a big boy. Like he's, he's okay. Can you tell me the story which happened with me? This is actually one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my entire life. Sophie went to go and have salmon sperm injected into her eyes or underneath her eyes. I just had it all done, guys. And you took one of your best friends, Willis, who also does your hair, with you. No, he also wanted to go get salmon sperm, which I'm sure he's going to fucking love me telling everyone. But yeah, he wanted to go get salmon sperm under his eyes.
10:04So we're getting the salmon sperm done right. And like, yeah, it's painful. But I've also just pushed out a baby. so like it's fine and Willis is like oh he's getting it injecting he's like try you know he's like a six foot three guy and he's like oh my god is this it meant to be this baby one I was like fucking hell calm down mate like you need to relax I was like yeah it's a bit painful laughing anyway like tears streaming down his face streaming and then like my friend Elle he's oh medical she's like so what are you doing later then he's like no no no yeah is he saying should it be this he kept going should it be this painful is it oh is it meant to be this painful i was like oh my god you need to chill out laughing anyway we leave and like we go to this deli and we get this lovely sandwich and i'm by the way the minute that injection's done there is no pain like there is no fucking pain you're in and you're out and it's great and i'm eating the sandwich and he's like I just I'm absolutely dead I need to I need to close my eyes I'm like why he's like I think all those injections they got my adrenaline going it's like the pain it's made me so sleepy I was like oh my god are you okay he drives me home right And he's like this on the whip too.
11:30And I was like, oh. It's like, are your eyes hurting? I was like, no. But, you know, because we're so British and like whatever, we don't really say the truth. So I'm like, yeah, mine are hurting too. He's like, are they meant to be hurting this much? And he texts me that night being like. Did he not say I'm so tired? Yeah, he said, I'm so tired. And then he texts me. He said, I'm so tired. I think I'm so tired. I can't breathe. He said, I'm so tired. I think I'm having a allergic reaction. No, guys, he drove and he just went so silent. He was like, I'm so tired. Anyway, four hours later, he texts me.
12:20He's like, how are your eyes doing? I'm like, they're fine. He's like, I've been asleep for four hours. I'm like, what the fuck is going on with me? next day 6pm in the evening my eyes are in bits are yours I'm like no he's like do you think this is mine and two hours later my eyes are in absolute tatters are yours I'm like no there's nothing wrong with my fucking eyes anyway don't know what's wrong with him I think he just breathed his eyes but it really served me the fact he's just been like walking around like in a dressing gown for the last two days oh my god Oh, it's good. Is it that painful?
13:00Uh-uh. I think it is. It's got to be. It is not painful at all. Like, the salmon sperm is really stingy. It feels like bee stings in your skin. I can't believe people inject salmon sperm into their face. Trout sperm's meant to be even better. I went to your friend Elle, and I think I said this, I had the laser treatment. You're getting it again on Saturday. I just had this laser treatment, which is nothing, and I know everyone thinks, you've had Botox. I haven't, literally, I've done nothing. look a head can move everything can move everything's fine no freaking filler or philo you haven't had filler you have had profilo I had profilo like a year ago yes I had profilo because it was quite nice well actually Elle called me up and she was like is everything alright I was like yeah she was like oh well we've just had Elle, Jamie's PA call in and say Jamie needs an emergency profilo I was like no he doesn't she was like what's it for I'll tell you why what it's for I know why because you kept saying I don't say tired I feel so old because my face looks like it's melting so you called my friend who's got like the biggest wait list in the world and said get me in because I need an emergency one 100 % and anyway so but I went and had laser whatever that thing was underneath on my cheeks whatever oh there's Ziggy I must go get him do you want to go and say hello to him quickly go on honey go and say hi to him alright so we're going to keep this in Sophie's just gone to go and check on Ziggy um because we had a little cry upstairs and she'll be back in just a little bit of a second.
14:32Hey, sister. How is the little man? He just woke up. He's really teething. That's the problem. I tell you what, talking about like, that's what I'm saying. So with the laser, right, on my face that I had, it was so unbelievably painful. I don't know how you do that. Don't. Ah, me. It's so painful. It's not painful. I know what that laser is. It shocks you because it's like a... No, it's painful. it is painful of bright flashing lights in your face also you had a hair transplant so like surely you're used to that because that is literally like plucking a follicle out of your hair and like sewing it into your front bit isn't it how painful was the hair transplant on a scale of 1 to 10 my hair transplant was yeah it was pretty painful the hair transplant was like were you given like a Xanax or something I can't Am I going to talk about with this?
15:26It was years ago. It was years and years and years ago. What we should really do is put the photo of you with it on because that was absolutely a shocker. All right. Okay. Do you know what? Screw it. Let's just talk about it. Fine. Many years ago, many years ago, many years ago, my friend Rodney phoned me up. He's going to fucking love that. Like, did he? Whatever. My friend Rodney phoned me up and he was like, do you want to go and get a hair transplant in Nottingham? The capital of hair transplants. like that and I was like alright I guess I will what age are we? 28 9 27 no 27 29 and I know why because I knew you when you had the hair transplant because you wore a cowboy hat for about 3 months and I was like what the fuck's going on alright here we go 29 then I think I was 28 you were 28 actually I think I was 28 anyway just also want to caveat this with and we can put up another photo I didn't really need a hair transplant I had like a little bit of receding hairline.
16:27That was it, like most men. But as most men realize losing your hair, you become very conscious of losing your hair. I'd also tried like the drops on your hair to grow them and it made me feel a bit anxious. So I decided not to do that. So I went down the route of having a hair transplant, right? I had a hair transplant, but my hair transplant only did the front of my head. So the very front of my head here, I thought a hair transplant was going to be like getting some sort of like tattoo. I was like, this is like going to be easy. We went up to Nottingham, right? So you went for like a consultation first?
16:56Nope. Straight in. Right. No consultation. Bang in. I will say your hair transplant's very good. Yeah, bang in. Unbelievable. Straight in. Boom. No consultation. No nothing. We got to this person's house. We got a discount because it was two of us. That's already... House? You did it in their house? We walked through their kitchen. We walked through someone's kitchen. No, you fucking well did not. I'm not joking. I'm not. We went into someone's house... Surely that's not legal. And I think their family was like having breakfast. Like, honestly, it was all a bit weird. And we got a discount. We got a discount.
17:28And just to caveat this... You did it in their living room? In their back room, they had, like, surgery. This sounds quite human, Centipede. I then woke up and I was attached to Rodney's arsehole. Lo and behold, I went straight into it. When you have a hair transplant, what they have to do is they have to, like, inject your head with local anaesthetic, right? So you don't fall asleep, you're awake. And then they punch holes in it, right? How, with what? A needle? With like a needle. And it sounds like, it sounds like when you step on snow, like, that's what it feels like. It sounds like. So they create follicles in your scalp?
18:01Yeah, in the front bit. And then they do something called drilling, where they take out each individual hair follicle from your head. I did 1 ,200 hair follicles. So that is like nothing. Zero amount. Like really nothing. And that's all I did. Just do a tiny bit at the front of my head, right? Just a little toupee at the front. Just a little toupee. just a little quiff I really wanted a quiff so I had a little quiff in the front of my head anyway like it takes a lot you're in the chair for like six hours and at five hours question what are you given for pain? local anaesthetic nothing like a Valium or anything well what happened was is this is that it got to five hours and then the local anaesthetic runs out because they can't give you any more so I was just sitting there in the chair where they were just putting it into my head and I was like this is fucking horrendous I finish because I only had small hair follicles I get up and I'm like thank god I walk into the room where Rodney's doing it there's two surgeries in the back of this person's house yeah she's going from one to each she's doing him then doing me doing him then doing me yeah one person and then there were like some nurses around it was very weird the whole thing anyway Rodney I go into the room with Rodney and Rodney is gripping Rodney is gripping the two sides of the bed and he's going do it and then punching another one and you're going ah!
19:22Do it! And they're punching another one. This sounds so on the jet. Well and then you walked out with like a bandana of like plaster across your head or what? A whole head. A whole head. What from your neck? Yeah around a whole head and like like you were a mummy. Anyway bandages. Anyway Anyway, she also gave us some, by the way, she's a legit doctor, all that kind of stuff. She gave us some, I think it was like, I don't know, like some sort of like relaxants because it was quite a stressful situation. She gave us some relaxants. She said, one thing you've got to do is this, is you've got to wake up every two hours to spray.
20:03She gave me a watering can, like a spraying thing when you spray on your hair. Hyperchlorous. Wake up every two hours to spray salt water on your head. And then so just heal it. So sleep tonight. And you also have to lie on your back facing up. You can't lie on your front. and I was like, absolutely fine, don't worry. Got home, so tired, so exhausted, popped one of these relaxants and went to bed facing up. I woke up 12 hours later, 12 hours later with my head in the pillow and as I woke up I went, shit, rubbed all the hair follicles. Honestly, it looked like I had murdered someone in my pillow.
20:38But now look at me, I have loads of hair, sister. Oh my God, so you didn't have the bandage on when you went to bed? No, I took it off. But that's just stupid. I think you would have been told to keep it on. But you would have been like... I can't believe I just revealed all that on the podcast. But hey, listen, whatever, right? But the good news is, is what happened was they took your follicles from the back, which were like thicker, darker hairs. So now just your little toupee is like... A moustache. I would say it's like pubic hairs almost. And the rest of your hairs is quite... It's fair and thin hair.
21:07Yeah, yeah. So two problems with this, right? Yeah, exactly as you said. Firstly, the hair follicles are darker, so I look like I have a moustache at the front of my head, which is actually a bit annoying. And secondly, I think at some point my hair is going to start receding backwards so I'm just going to be left with basically like just a quiff at the front of my head. And isn't it like now you're too late on to get the hair and put it in the top bit of the head? Because that bit is receding a little bit, isn't it? No, it's not. No, it's not. It's not at all. It's not? It's not. No, it's not.
21:37It's absolutely not. It's not. Apparently sometimes it can grow back curly. If you had straight hair it could go back curly If you had curly hair it could go back straight Well if I ever need more hair follicles I'll come to you honey That's true I've got a full head of hair You have a full head of hair Oh man Tell me else what else is happening this week for you Go on give it to me sister Anything else I don't know don't ask me that By the way I've worked out that I love The smell of asparagus pee It's divine I had asparagus the other night You made it for me. Oh my God, that is so gross. And you love the smell of sewage.
22:15Love the smell of sewage. Do you not love the smell of Ziggy's poo then? No, don't like the smell of Ziggy's poo. So what do you like the smell of? You love the smell of farts. I know, guys, he does. No, no, no. I don't love the smell of farts. You do? No, no. I love the smell of sewage. You like the smell of your own farts. Everyone loves the smell of their own farts. Sorry, I actually don't physically understand what you're talking about. Hands up. King Ewey, do you like the smell of your farts? That's disgusting. I don't fart. Absolute lies. Can I just say, I think farting is disgusting. Agreed.
22:43And if you like the smell, sometimes, look, I'm not, it can't be helped. And like that is just human, right? You're human if you fart. But if you enjoy that process and you sniff it in like it's roses, you're sick. I would like everyone. Like you're basically sniffing in poo particles coming out your bum and being like, ooh, bathe me in it. No, I would like everyone to comment and let us know, do you like the smell of your phone farts? Because I think people do. I honestly truly think people do. Huey, you've never farted. Never, not once. Have you ever farted in front of an ex or anything like that?
23:17He's never farted. No, never farted. You've never farted. You must be so bloated. Do I look bloated? You don't look bloated. No, he couldn't have a flatter tummy if he tried. You've never farted? Never. You've never farted? Never. And I wouldn't say if I did it on a podcast, and I wouldn't say that I smelled it. You wouldn't smell it? No, absolutely not. That is vile. I actually genuinely don't think there would be many men that like the smell of their own fowl. Boys? Josh, Rafi? No way. Thank you very much. You don't like the smell of it, though. It's good. And also, you know when you do a good one.
23:50And you're like... No, guys, actually, I really have to be honest with you. You're all grossing me out. I'm really not enjoying it. You know, it almost gives a little sting when it comes out. And you're like, that's a good one. Oh, my God, that's so bad. And weirdly, the worst ones... You mean it stings your butthole or it stings your nose? It stings your butthole a little bit. It stings your arse and you're like, yippee-doo, I just nailed a fart. Yeah, and the worst is when you're in a bath and you do it. For some reason, the bubble that explodes... Who the fuck farts in a bath? I was in a swimming pool once and I farted and I swallowed the fart bubble.
24:22Yeah. I can't believe I'm married to you. I actually can't. Not on purpose. I didn't try and grab it. I didn't try and grab it. It reminds me of a time when I was at school. I was at school and we were scuba diving in the water, swimming around in the water. Your bile, your bile. We were scuba diving. We had to do this buddy-buddy system where you share a regulator, which is the thing you breathe from with someone else. And my teacher, who won't be named, but he was also this sort of swimming teacher, he was like, right, he pointed to everyone. with his like regular everyone come up so we all came to the service he took out his regulator and a snot and snot went from his nose to his ear I found it so gross I vomited into the swimming pool like just suddenly went and it's oh my god I know what you mean it's like when you were younger and people you'd all dive into the pool or jump and then everyone would come up and there'd be snot pouring and it was like so long and stringy and you'd be like I will say that is something absolutely vulgar about snot and bogeys.
25:35Okay, what is the thing that you find satisfying that no one else would find satisfying? Like, I love people window cleaning. It really gets me going. I love it more than anything. When they have to get into the little corners of the window, oh my God. When they pour the water on, it's so good. I could sit for hours watching people do it. It's so great. To the point where I want to get window cleaners for our house so I can just sit and watch them. We should get them. Our windows are very dirty. I just can't wait. I don't want to be like a depressant, but like, I don't think I'm that satisfied by many things.
26:08Other than like obvious things. You don't get satisfied by anything? Like I get satisfied by my son smiling and my son hugging. No, no, that's not. Or like a nice outfit or like a good tan or like a nice lunch by the sea. Like I'm satisfied. I'll tell you what, talking of farting, do you know what's really satisfying? When you're sitting down and you fart and somehow, I don't know how it happens, scientifically. I don't know how it happens, but the bubble sort of goes underneath your leg and out. Oh my God. Have you ever had that? You give me shivers. What do you mean the bubbles? You fart and it sort of makes a bubble like in your trousers.
26:40Oh my God, that's horrendous. Like how big are your farts? Like you must be like far, like if there was a colour to your father, the whole room would be green. What do you find? So you don't find anything satisfying? What do I find satisfying? Give me an example. Oh, okay. I know, I know. Go on. I've got one. Yes, madam. You know when people hoover carpets and it's like... What does that mean? There's like marks on the carpet. Oh. That's lovely. And it's like a fresh, gorgeous carpet. A second thing that's satisfying... I feel like everyone finds that satisfying. No, not everyone. Second thing I find satisfying is like the smell of fabric conditioner.
27:14Like I love that everything smells of that. I love that. Third thing I find satisfying... Yeah. is a nice thin rim on a glass when you drink. The word rim is not used that much. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, on that note, it's time for Sing the Tune, honey. Sing the tune, listeners, listeners, listeners. Messages, messages, messages, messages, messages.
27:45Okay, honey, you've got to be honest with me. What have you been watching recently? Because you've been squirreling yourself away in your room, watching something by yourself. what is it oh i've just been having the best time it's dutton ranch on paramount plus which is why i'm so happy that this episode is sponsored by paramount plus it is the best tv ever what are you loving about it well i loved yellowstone obviously oh yeah i love yellowstone and then the best character out of it was beth beth dutton and then who else is and then rip is just a big friendly giant he was like the stable boy and then they fell in love and she like owned the ranch Anyway, they go and buy their own ranch.
28:20The ranch, spoiler alert, gets burnt down. And then the whole show at the beginning, I've not finished it, but they are trying to navigate what to do next. What is it about the cowboys that you love? Love the boots. Love the fact that they can get down with the horses and the cows. So if I was going to talk like a cowboy, would that make you feel good? Do a cowboy impression. Well, little lady. Whereabouts are you from, Rip Rock? Montana. Man, oh man, I love Montana. You know what I love about Montana? You get it, and then you do a little twang of like, I don't know where. Man, I go into my fields in Montana.
28:54I go and get my horse. My name is Beth Dunn. You're the person. You're Rip. Hi, I'm Rip. You know why they call me Rip? Because you're Rip. Because I once ripped my trousers, and I never let it down. Why do they call you Beth? Because that's what I was christened. Oh, really? No, Bethany? Just straightforward. Beth? Why don't they call you Ripped, your trousers? Instead of a rip? I didn't know. That's my nickname. I wasn't christened Ripped. I guess Beth might be my nickname then. Beth is your nickname. So what's your full christened name? Bethany Dutton. You're from the Dutton family? I'm from the Dutton family.
29:40I think I've seen you in Paramount Plus. Anyway, Beth, you're going to get on my horse. Will you do a whistle for me? Oh, yeah. There you go. I love that. So if one of the cowboys came and said, Sophie, you're going to come with me to live in this world, you would go. Yeah, and you know what? A psychic many, many years ago said she saw me living on a ranch. I'm telling you, I'm off to Montana. Hey, enough said. Go and watch my program with you in it. Okay, Rip and you. What's it called? It's called Dutton Ranch and it's on Paramount Plus and it is sensational. Okay, honey, you've got to tell me, when is the finale?
30:143rd of July. 3rd of July. And we're going to be watching it together. On Paramount+. On Paramount+. But you know what? You can catch up before the 3rd of July.

Don't disturb me. I'm going to catch up on everything Dutch and ranch. I can't wait.

Welcome to Listener's Messages. You're one of your favorite parts of the whole show. Remember, you can also let us know what you think of these, by the way, you big old sassies listening right now. Okay, I've got one from Georgina. Georgina. And this is a parenting story. Clear that throat of yours. Do you ever think of clearing your throat and then you realise your throat's not clear? What does that even mean? Dear Jamie and Sophie, I absolutely love having you back in my ears every week and congratulations on beautiful baby Ziggy.
33:59Thank you. Can we just pause there for a second? I'm so sorry. Sophie and I were trying to read Ziggy, Dr. Seuss, the book. I fucking love that book. It's like a drama audition every time I read it. I'm like, this is my moment. Sophie takes it so seriously. So seriously. She won't let me read it. It's like she's auditioning for RADA. And I'm unbelievable. It's like she's auditioning for RADA. She sits there and she's like, one day the hat went to the cat and the cat said no. I will read it on this podcast once and you will be shocked. You love Dr. Seuss. I love Dr. Seuss. I need to get more books.
34:31Anyway. Okay. I'd like to take a moment to appreciate my partner, Dave, who has become the most incredible dad despite not having that example growing up himself Dave's dad left when he was young and he never really stayed in contact because of that Dave made a promise to himself that if he ever had children he would be the most present father possible because he knew exactly what it felt like to grow up without one when our first son arrived I was hit with postpartum depression something I never expected I struggled to connect and felt an overwhelming amount of guilt during this time Dave did absolutely everything he could to look after us He took over the feeds, took time off work, carried the weight of absolute everything without ever making me feel like a burden.
35:09Our boys are now six and four and their dad is their absolute hero. So often I hear mums talking about dads who aren't pulling their weight. But Dave doesn't just pull his weight. He carries more than his share without ever asking for recognition. I honestly don't know how I would have done any of this without him. He is the husband and father our boys deserve. And I'm so grateful for him every single day. Dave, you're a fucking legend. Dave, let's freaking go. Here we go. Wild story from Anonymous. Hey, Jamie and Sophie. This is a short but very shocking story about the most awkward moment my dad and I have ever experienced together.
35:44Oh my God. Like Jamie, I was a bit slow getting my driving license. After failing my test twice, my dad decided to give me some extra lessons before attempting number three. One evening, he thought it'd be a good idea to get some night driving practice in. We were driving along a country road when a warning light suddenly appeared on the dashboard. Without thinking, we took the next turning and pulled into a quiet car park overlooking a viewpoint so we could investigate. As soon as we got out, we started hearing some very unusual noises coming from the nearby cars. Then right in the middle of what we can only describe as a very enthusiastic female orgasm, my dad and I realised exactly the same moment that we accidentally parked in the middle of a dogging spot.
36:26How? We exchanged a look of pure horror and my dad said we can deal with this at home. I didn't even get a chance to get back in the driver's seat. He moved so fast. He nearly left me behind. For some reason, there was no more evening driving lessons after that. Thankfully, I passed my test on the third attempt, so dad never had to endure another traumatising lesson. Love the podcast and congratulations on Ziggy. Okay, we've got a love story from Clarissa. Dear Jamie and Sophie, I absolutely love the podcast and I'm so happy you're back. Growing up, I was incredibly close to my dad. He was fun, outgoing and full of quirky interests, one of which was butterflies.
37:04He once told me that in some Native American traditions, butterflies are seen as messages between humans and the spirit world. You love this butterfly. You love butterflies. Oh my gosh, that's a lovely fact. As a child, we spotted a large orange butterfly and a beautiful blue one. And he smiled and said, you're the orange one and I'm the blue one. It was a simple moment, but one I never forgot. Years later, I got engaged to the love of my life. And around the same time, my dad was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I'm so sorry. Throughout his illness, he promised he would be there to walk me down the aisle.
37:35Sadly, he passed away just three weeks before the wedding. She's got you. She's got you. On my wedding day, as I stood waiting to walk down the aisle, a large blue butterfly gently landed on my bouquet of flowers. I instantly remembered my dad's words. I'm the blue one and you're the orange one. Whoa, that shivers. That's incredible. To this day, I say that my dad always kept his promises So He told me nothing would stop him from walking me down the aisle And I truly believe it didn't I love you both so much You have no idea how special you're going to be to Ziggy I can't bear that That's honestly the most special story I've heard yet That is unbelievable That's unbelievable What a story That's from Clarissa Clarissa Wow That is so beautiful Thank you for sharing that Thank you so much, Clarissa.

You actually got me a bundle of presents? Obviously. Well, what have you got me? Don't look at producer Yui. Well, they're all wrapped up in their golden red. This is from Ziggy. This is... Is it? Yeah. This is from Ziggy? Yes. Okay, I'm going to open this up. So it's a nice little gold packaging with a lovely red ribbon. And he wrapped it as well. And he wrapped it? He wrapped it. That's strange because he can't really... His dexterity is not very good at the moment.
39:29Good word. No. Oh, what? That's from Ziggy. What? That fits Ziggy. So who's he pointing to? Because I'm going to be carrying him. He's going to be pointing to you. It's a t-shirt that says, I'm a stupid with an arrow across it. That's the sweetest thing ever. I love this Father's Day. Okay, next one. Here we go. I'm opening it up. Are you excited about this, honey? I love this one, personally. You know what this one is? I know what they all are.
40:01It's a picture of me and Ziggy in the shower. Let me see. How sweet is that? It's a picture of me and Ziggy when we had our first ever shower together. That's when we took a shower together and he vomited and peed on me at the same time. No, that's the sweetest thing ever. Okay, next one. Here we go. Come on. Let's get it out. What is this? Shoes. What? Sorry, what? Sorry, what on earth are those? And I did these because I thought Ziggy would like you to start tap dancing. He whispered it to me the other night. These are tap dancing shoes? Yeah. What the fuck are tap dancing shoes for? Why have you got me tap dancing shoes?
40:43King Yui's finding this so funny. Just for the extra high. They're cheaper than Cuban heels. So you've got me tap dancing shoes. Are they tap dancing shoes? I can't wait to try them on Literally that heel is exactly the same as your YSL heel and they were probably so cheap Those are absolutely phenomenal I might wear these every day These little tap shoes They're quite hairy stars if you put like a big baggy jean over the top Honey thank you so much I love you beyond you're the greatest mum in the world You're the greatest dad it's not about me Okay well I'm just telling you you are the greatest mum and I love you to bits and just to build our family together is the coolest thing ever And we're so grateful for you and you're the best dad and the best husband ever and we would be completely lost without you.
41:24That is glorious. Thanks, honey. By the way, I think we need to get your tardiness diagnosed. I've done every test under the fucking sun. Every six months, I get my blood stern. Every six months, I do this. I've done it all. There's physically something wrong with me. And having a baby, the six months, oh, one month in, no sleep. I was nailing it. Didn't give a crap. I was like, I don't understand why I have my son. sad he still doesn't sleep and i'm so tired sophie went to me last night she looked at me and she went i'm so tired she got into bed at 8 15 no sometimes when jamie talks to me he goes can you like if jamie and i are having an argument yeah my eyes start drooping in the argument like i like triggers a tiredness in me and i'm like i fall asleep i don't know what's wrong with me he's saying we had an argument last night and it triggered you to fall asleep i was so tired and And you were like, can you please?
42:17And I kept just saying, I'm really sorry we can keep arguing, but I have to sit down. You were like, can't you just stand up? I was like, I need to just sit. And I was just lying there like this, mid-arguing. Sophie and I had an argument last night, and halfway through she started laughing. Oh, my God, because I... You couldn't stop laughing at me. I couldn't stop laughing because Willis... I couldn't stop replaying the fact that Willis' eyes were hurting. And then, you know, when you're like at school, you're trying to like not smile. And I was like this at Jamie, like... But all I could picture was Willis being like, my eyes are in bits.
42:46Also, the fact that what Sophie and I do, we have this routine where we like exchange nights. So one night I'll do the night, Sophie the next night will do the night, so we try and get some sleep. What we've worked out is that when we look after our baby Ziggy at night, when it's the... So if I look after Ziggy in the night, and he's normally up around like, what, 2am and then maybe 3am, and you have to settle him, and it's just normal, normal stuff as parents. The next morning, he will be pissed off with the other parent who wasn't up. He gives you the side eye. He gives you the side eye. it's mad.
43:16He'll give you the side eye. Yeah. Like, Sophie looked after him last night, right? This morning. I'm like, morning, my boy. Zero smile. Turns away from me. Doesn't want anything to do with me. Only wants me. Only wants Sophie. And then Sophie loves that. Loves it. Obviously. You love it when he gives you a little cuddle. And he rolls into me and nooks into my neck. He nooks into that little neck of yours. But when you do the night, he does give me the side eye, but then he reaches straight out for me. He does. loves his mum. He freaking loves his mum so much. But I think you whisper sweet nothings into his ear the whole time.
43:50I'm going to start whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Sweet nothings? My plan of action is this. Are you ready for it? My plan is to make Ziggy's first word daddy. It's always dada, but I refuse for that to happen. His first word is going to be father. I say to him, I walk down the street going, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama. like people think I'm crazy constantly it's all he hears and he looks at me and I know he can say it I know he can he's just like shut up I'm not doing it ladies and gentlemen listen that is the end of the record the round of the episode for today listen we love you all so much we really do we love you to bits thank you for listening to us if you haven't subscribed to our show already you can just click that subscribe button and remember get in touch with us you can so easily it's just Newly Parents podcast on Instagram sign to our DMs or send us an email newlyparents at jampotproductions.co.uk everything in the show description go and click on it and you can go and listen to other episodes we love you guys so much goodbye goodbye we're going to see you next week though no that's not how we do it we're going to see you next week we are if you're getting engaged good luck if you're getting married good luck if you're getting pregnant oh get ready for the wildest year of your life we'll see you next week we love you goodbye goodbye
