S11 EP5: Olly Murs

28:52You get the lights, you get the screens, you get this real sort of, I don't know, it's a story. You know, especially this tour I did was story of my career. but then when I stepped outside and done the festivals I mean for example like Dear Darlings a really emotional song for me to sing it's about losing someone you love and it's been a song that my fans absolutely adore and it's really hard to when you're at a race course and you've got 35 ,000 people gambling and having a great day and they're all been drinking I'm like Dear darling, music song. They're looking at me like, are you fucking having a laugh, mate?

29:27We're going to be dancing. So I have to kind of like change my set slightly to adjust to what you're doing. And I absolutely love, I love people mosh pit into Dear Darling. It's one of my favourite things to say. We did a good, we did York race course recently this year. And it's the first time that I've been doing a set and I'd seen a massive 20 man brawl. literally had me it was almost like they were annoyed that i didn't play a song that they wanted and they're like well i'm thinking i'm singing like heart skips a beat you know it's like a pop song i look across and literally there's like four or five policemen in there and it's this massive 20-man brawl and i'm just like what do i do in this moment do i stop singing because there's another 30 000 people all cheering and loving it or do i just stop and i don't know i was kind of like baffled i'm like did you do just sing and watch while you're singing I just kept singing because the police went in really quick, stopped it, and then they all got ushered out.

30:23And presumably most of the crowd aren't even aware it's happening, right? Exactly. So I'm looking over this side. You've got everyone's loving it. This side, I've just got, honestly, it's never happened in all my life. I've had certain situations happen, you know, if someone might have fainted or there might be someone that needs some assistance or, you know, you get little odd moments like that that you can stop the show and like get paramedics in or you need someone to get looked at, but never seen a fight with 10 police officers running in to stop it all. It was a bit mad. What can I say? You know, my music's crazy.

30:52It gets people in these kind of aggressive mood, you know? You love doing these summer gigs. You've done your arena tour and then all these summer festival shows. When your kids are older and they're in school and stuff, will you try and take the summer off? Because if you have this same schedule when they're off school, you're not going to see them for the summer holidays. What do you guys do? Because I've spoke to a lot of parents recently, again, and they're six-week summer holidays. it's like it's like work itself it's like i think in a way we're quite lucky in comedy because comedy tours don't tend to happen in the summer in the same way so there's a kind of natural dip in working in the summer anyway in our industry so i try and take time off then because it is hard to work we're not missing out on much if we don't work in the summer if that makes exactly where for you it's like probably one of the most profitable parts of the year doing all the festival gigs and stuff you know what the summer shows are actually you're right it really is but I've been really lucky because of this summer tour it's normally like a Friday Saturday Sunday yeah so I think if me and Amelia work it well enough and to be honest with you and I don't know if how you guys are when you go out with your kids but for me like I tend to not go out at weekends with my kids on a Saturday or Sunday yeah because of my lifestyle because of I suppose the celebrity thing whatever and I think when I go out on a Saturday it seems to be the busiest time of the year of the day like i said to amila like even before we had kids you know going out on a saturday like if you wanted to go on a date night so if we go to the cinema i said to amila we can't really go on a saturday night because if i can i suppose after going just as the film turns on walk up and then sit down because in the past i've done that on a saturday i've gone out to say the cinema or we've gone to the arcades with with amelia and it's just it ends up becoming like amelia ends up becoming a photographer for most of the night well i was exactly the same as that But then what happens is your kids go to school and the only time you get with them is the weekends or the summer holidays.

32:45And they want to go and do normal things, go swimming and stuff like that. And it is really hard because you're trying to do the normal stuff with them. But then everyone's wanting pictures and they get a bit annoyed. It's really tricky because you can't just say to your eight and nine year old, no, we don't go out at weekends because it's busy for dad. You know what I mean? So it's really tricky. Yeah, no. And this is going to be hurdles that I'm going to have to get used to and figure out. And, you know, we've made a meal of a spoke like that. I want Amelia to live as normal life as possible with Madison and obviously with the new baby and try and live as normal as possible.

33:14I know it's going to be difficult for me to have their moments with Maddie and go, oh, let's go bowling tonight on a Saturday where it's a bit more atmosphere, there's more people, your friends can come, it'll be a really good night. No one wants to go bowling on a Monday night or a Tuesday, do they? Let's be honest. I'll be like, let's go bowling on a Monday, sir. Yes. But we've had it recently. We went on holiday for our first holiday last year to Tenerife. it was lovely like i was really worried about getting on a plane oh my god the plane i was like right we're going on holiday and i said to emilia my biggest pet hate i think i might have spoke to you about this actually rob my biggest pet hate before i had madison was getting on a plane and screaming babies i used to just be like oh god like when i have kids i can't deal with a screaming baby on a plane i just again going back to it when i get on a plane i literally i'm either trying to catch up on sleep because i've been really busy too i don't want people hassling me i just want to like sit there zone out turn my phone off watch a film just chill and so i think it's maybe it's like a social anxiety thing i don't know just being on a plane i just want to just sit there and enjoy and i don't mind people saying hello of course i don't but now having a baby i was like oh my god if she starts crying we're gonna be them parents yeah you're gonna be the second attention everyone's looking at us what are we gonna do i'm thinking of like what how can i do this i'm like well what if when we get there i'll say to amelia that unfortunately when i book the flights there's only two seats this way i'm joking obviously i wouldn't do that and so anyway i was like do you know what babe you need a holiday i need a holiday let's do this and we did and to be fair we had like every toy you could possibly imagine you know the one you stick on the window and you're spinning it a hundred times go back to the whole you know the ipad works everyone says You shouldn't do it, but it actually works.

35:02You know, I'm sure like you guys, we tried everything to not turn on the iPad. Yeah. So we do the book reading. We do silly faces. We're singing songs. We're doing all the things we can. And you just go, do you know what? Actually, we've only got like 20 minutes left. She's getting restless now. She wants to get up. So stick on Miss Rachel. We were lucky we missed Miss Rachel. We did. Did you really? Yeah, Mr. Tumble. We didn't have Miss Rachel either. Oh, Mr. Blippi. Have you seen the Mr. Blippi? Yeah, Blippi as well. God. Do you know how much money Mr. Blippi's got? He is absolutely. Do you know what?

35:35I keep saying this to me. It's called Blippi, by the way. Not Mr. Blippi. Is it Blippi? Oh, Mr. Blippi. He's got a net worth of$90 million, Blippi. Wow. Wouldn't it just be amazing? I just would love to see a video, like a reel or a video online, of him being in the playroom going, hey, guys. And it cuts. He goes, oh, for fuck's sake. Fuck's sake. I've got a job in a fucking ball pit again. But you know he's like, he's franchised it now. There's just a different Blippi. So he doesn't even do it himself anymore. He's just franchised it out. Yeah. And you know what the maddest thing is? Maybe you guys know this because you're further in, but like it really calms Maddie down and she genuinely sits there and she watches it.

36:14Yeah. And yet I can sit in front of her and I'll be like, let's read a book or let's do this. And I'll say, hello. And she's just like, oh, go away. I'm interested in you. As soon as I put Miss Rachel on, she's like, wow, who's this woman? and I'm like oh they've done a video together yeah yeah there's a whole bunch of them now there's like five different characters Lippy and Miss Rachel have come together for a kind of McCartney and Beyonce yeah anyway going back to the original story so we got to Tenerife we got on holiday we literally were there for a couple of days we were by the pool and someone took a photo of me and Maddie together and we've been really protective of like not putting her on social media but pure on the basis that she's so young she's only 16 months old we don't know what the internet's like and we're like you know it's till she's old enough to sort of say to me daddy i want to be on instagram or whatever we'll have that conversation but i didn't even see it melia like saw it that's the one thing that sends me mad like i don't like it when they do it with me on my own but with my children it's like you can't take photos of children yeah exactly that so i didn't even know i was talking to this lovely we got chatting to this lovely couple and they didn't even make a big thing about knowing who i was they were just chatting to us as parents now you guys probably know it's so lovely when you meet another group of parents that are going through the same yeah this is normal you know all the dads do the same lap on holiday parks you know what I mean we were like yeah in a bugger yeah how you doing blanket over the top trying to get them to sleep we got the rocking machine on it we're like this yeah and then we're going over the pebbles it's the best bit it's the best bit this bit hey mate you're right and anyway I was talking to this parent and with Maddie and she was just facing forward and she was looking around and someone took a photo anyway Amelia saw it and I'd never seen this side of Amelia before she's like oi ollie I went what what what did you talk a photo she took a photo I went, oh, yeah, yeah.

37:54I said, did she? Which one? And I looked around and she'd gone, but she'd gone and sat down. Because she took a photo of you and Maddie. I went, that's really pissed me off. I was like, look, babe, it's gone now. And you know what? If you go over there and say to her, you know this as well, guys. If you go over there and tell her, oh, you've taken a photo of us. She goes, no, I didn't. Cause a problem. We don't need to worry about it. She goes, no, she took a photo of you and Maddie and that's bang out of order. She shouldn't have our child on her phone. I was like, I know, I know. and I go, calm down, calm down.

38:18Let's just deal with it. Let's just relax. Because imagine if you, I wasn't off the telly and you just went and took a photo of someone's random child around the pool in a costume. It's awful. And so get this right. So I said, so let's move. So we moved. Mina's face, she's gone. She's seen red. I'm like, let's just go. So we left. And after a couple of days, it was a bit of bad weather. We went and sat somewhere else. Anyway, I thought it'd been forgotten about. We're on our day bed, whatever. We just sat there chilling and I'm just like chilled with Maddie. Maddie's asleep. I'm like, I could just have a little bit of breather.

38:47Mina goes, she's here. She's here. I went, where is she? She's in the water. I'm like, okay. She goes, I've got to go and say something. I'm like, no, no, no, no. Before I could even stop her, Mina's in. Swam to her. She swims across the pool to the other side and she's like this. And I'm like, oh, my God. What are you doing? I was like, oh, you know what? She's the mum. She's my wife. She's got something to say. Let her say it. So this woman swims past and then she swims back. She goes, all right. Amelia goes, yeah, you're right. She's like, yeah. She goes, oh, it's a lovely morning. She goes, yeah, a lovely morning when you've got photos of our kids on your phone.

39:27Oh, yes, please. And this woman just went, sorry? She goes, yeah, you took a photo of Ollie and my baby the other day on your phone. And I think that's really out of order. You shouldn't have that photo. And this woman just went, oh, I'm so sorry. She goes, yeah, well, you should be. She goes, I want you to delete it. And she goes, oh, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to take a photo to show my friend or whatever. Amelia goes, well, no, like you shouldn't be doing that. So Amelia had this conversation and she, this woman felt awful. And she goes, I'm so sorry. You're a hundred percent right. And she deleted the photo.

39:56Well, most of the time they're just overexcited and think, oh, there's no malice in it. There's no malice, but it's not okay really. But it's good that Amelia said something, I think. Oh, it was amazing. And you know what? It's one of them things where I said to Amelia, look, this is not going to be the first time. We're going to have to deal with this as we go forward. It used to send me up the wall. and I used to nearly have fights with people. Like, I went, you could take a photo of my kids. And then he's like, no, I haven't. I'm like, you have. And then you're just arguing then and it's not good.

40:22That's the thing that infuriates me the most. As I said to Amelia, I've been in this situation many times where before we had kids or before I was with Amelia, I'd be like, can you please just not take a photo of me with my mates? We're out on a night out. You didn't need to take it. If you want a photo, just come and ask. It's as simple as that. Yeah, I don't mind if they ask, but when it's the sneaky ones. Can I tell you my technique? I've got, Ollie. So with the kids, to be fair, most people don't do it as much with the kids anymore or i will just say please don't take a fuck with me with the kids or whatever anyway so if i'm at a bar with some mates whatever and someone's sneakily filming me and i can see them doing it i just turn and look straight down the barrel of their phone camera not at them i look straight down the barrel and i just look i just stare and i don't look angry i don't mouth anything i just stare down and then then all of a sudden the power's been switched because they've been spying on me now i'm spying on them naggy with just naggy little aggy eyes and they look at their phone and you see them panic and then they try and pretend they're just on their phone and they never break contact and then they will put the phone down every time i'm gonna try that technique listen it is part of it's i don't want to be like a crybaby on here talking about it is what it is i signed up for it i know the job i've got this is a podcast about parenting anyone else off the street had someone walking up and taking photos of their child i don't give a fuck if you've been on x factor or whatever you've done no one likes that.

41:41No one would want a strange person taking a photo of their child. I was getting showered at a swimming pool and a woman took a photo of me in the shower with my daughters in the swimming costumes having a shower. I just went, what are we doing? I tell you what I didn't expect Rob to say in this podcast was I don't give a fuck if you've been on X Factor. I'm sorry. No one did that sentence down. Do you know what that's going to be? We had Olly Merz on our podcast this week. I don't give a fuck if you did the X Factor. That's the clip. That's the Stephen Bartlett clip. Olly Murs face as Rob says.

42:13I don't give a fuck if you've been on X-Factor. I don't give a fuck if you did the X-Factor. Find out what Rob said to Olly on our podcast this week. Pure clip, mate. No, but you're right. Listen, you are 100 % right. I was going to ask you, you and Amelia, obviously, super into your fitness, Amelia especially, you know, you're really on it as well. Are you finding time to still do that with the kids? And Amelia especially, because, you know, she's only sort of just recovered from having a baby and she's having another one and that impacted a woman's body. Like how has she found like fitness and getting back into stuff?

42:45Because isn't she like a bodybuilder? She hates the word bodybuilder, but it's... No, no, no. What should I say? You just can't stop saying things that are going to get clipped up. It's a fitness model, fitness model. She's a fitness model, not body... Yeah. Okay, I'm trying to explain it. So when she did this sort of... It's sort of a form of bodybuilding, but obviously the bodybuilders are real kind of like... she would be in the bikini modeling side of it so it was a bit more less of that real intense like more being lean and yeah which is sort of a different type of competition basically but anyway she yeah loves her training with maddie we spoke about this recently actually because she hasn't really trained as much during this pregnancy she lost a bit of motivation obviously it's been quite a handful with having maddie obviously be so energetic now and the fact that she's starting to get proper heavily pregnant now so finding the balance in the day particularly with me being on tour has been really difficult so yeah she hasn't been training as much but with me because i had this tour coming and i wanted it to be the biggest tour and the best tour i've ever done me and emilia just worked you know i would get up in the morning at say six o 'clock i would look after the baby for say the first couple of hours of the morning do the breakfast get a set up you know play toys play games whatever and then amelia would have a little bit more out of a laying in the morning so she'd get up at eight say and then once amelia came over i would say to right now i'm going to go into the gym so we just had a bit more of a routine we just communicated that amelia understood that i needed to train and get myself ready for the tour so we just got in a good routine but unfortunately yeah and for amelia she just lost a little bit of motivation which is biology your body's not getting pregnant is it you know i mean exactly you can nip out and do that but if you've like just given birth and then you're growing another baby it's just it's so difficult for the women and it really wasn't planned like we said at the end of the last year we said oh you know we'll start trying in january and we're so blessed it happened pretty much straight away so bless amelia she just finally got to christmas and she loves christmas she was like oh i can have some drinks and she did you know drinking again and just feeling herself she was back in the gym and then literally in january she was like i'm pregnant again and i was like and she She goes, I'm so happy.

44:56She goes, but I was just finally getting a bit of my life back. She goes, I'm obviously delighted to be pregnant. And she's been on this journey. But I think once this pregnancy is out of the way, I think Amelia is very much aware that she wants to get back into training again. And then, you know, she absolutely loves it. We've got to. We love it. You know, because they're close in age, they play so well. So by the time the youngest is two, like 18 months too, which is not far away for you guys, there'll be a little gang together playing. And for you as well, this is more of a personal question.

45:24because obviously it's well documented that you and your brother haven't had the greatest of relationships especially since the tv stuff and things like that how do you feel now because i always find that my past is replayed to me with my own children if that makes sense so you're going to be looking at two kids that you imagine you know you really want to have a great relationship for a long time and that you haven't always had that how does that feel i mean i know it's difficult you haven't had the second one yet 100 like it really does my brother had kids probably 10 11 years ago so he's been a dad and a husband a lot longer than I have and you know I suppose now I've become a parent yeah you see things completely different you see how like how my relationship was with my own parents I can't speak on behalf of Ben obviously because we don't speak but that relationship with your parents I for example my mum was my birthday recently and I sent my mum a message on my birthday I said mum it's my birthday today but I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for being my mum for the last 41 years I'm sorry for all the conversations and the moaning and the difficult times that I must have given you in the early stages of my life but I just want to say thank you for all the support and everything you've given me and you've given me the best life I could have ever imagined so thank you thank you on the 14th of May 1984 when you gave birth to twins you know not just one but two boys and my mum bless her she rung me and she was crying and she was just like i've never had a message like that before but it made me appreciate being a parent of how much our parents have done for us and yeah with my relationship with ben you know that's one of the things that me and amelia spoke about actually having a second baby because there was three of us growing up me and my sister and my brother and obviously my amelia had three so we were like we want that brother and sister you know love and we want them you know if it's a boy or a girl if it's two girls but yeah with me and my brother it's always a tricky one because with blokes it's a weird thing with was i think with blokes when you have an argument with one of your mates you might not talk for a couple of days and you'll see him yeah you'll just hug it out and go oh wow yeah that's stupid wasn't it yeah it was like yeah fuck it let's just move on whatever it was it's done and with me and ben we've never actually seen each other and i've always said our lifestyles are very different and i do love him very much i think when we actually one day get in a room together it'll be one of them i've always got this feeling and i hope he feels the same that it's just crossing that bridge and we've both tried to make it work it hasn't worked if liam and noel can do it ollie exactly exactly but like i always believe that when we actually finally meet and there's been a lot that's gone on anyway which i won't talk about but actually i think when we finally get to see each other face to face i think it'll probably just be like oh that was silly we haven't spoke for fucking 20 years and he'll be like yeah actually why did that happen and i think hopefully we can hug it out and and move on but but definitely i mean someone said this to me once you know you can't choose your family can you so you can choose your friends yeah and with family i mean i've had arguments with my family as people know and i've had disagreements and we all you know but your family you love them so much but at the same time you don't you don't necessarily have to like them do you know what i mean and it's a really hard and most people listen to this will understand if they've had arguments with their families they always have that love for every single one of my family but over the years we've had arguments and you're like, well, I can't actually never speak to you again.

48:44Because obviously at one point we are going to see each other again. So there's always going to be that connection. There's always going to be that connection. And twins particularly, like it's made me realize being a parent now, just how special that must have been for my family to have two little twin boys.

52:14so i'm thinking right two hours we've got in the car here so in the morning i'm like everywhere i've got the big bag that's got everything i've got the nappy bag i've got emilia's bags i've got everything i've got maddie's toys i've got every i mean honestly i've smashed it i have literally like a rubex cube my car is stacked perfectly like don't touch it babe don't touch it i've got it i've got it everything's done we've got in the car eight o 'clock bang on the money shut the door we're driven right we've got to the service station if she slept we've done everything to a t i've cracked it literally as i've come off the motorway into plymouth we've drove for four and a half hours i've literally got 10 minutes from amelia's house haven't got anything for myself i've left everything i was supposed to pack i've left my wedding suit i've got no toilet trees All I've got is literally a crap, cruddy gym outfit that I'd worn that morning.

53:11I'll just get changed. I forgot everything for me. Had you packed it and just left the bag? I left it all here at the house. Fuck. So what did you do? Genuinely. You didn't have to drive back. No, no, no. I got to Plymouth and I went down to Drake Circus, the shopping center. Oh, yeah. What the fuck's that? You've made something else up again. No, really. Drake Circus, Jed Bird and Shinobu. Have you not heard of Francis Drake, Rob? I didn't know you were from Plymouth, Josh. You're actually from Plymouth. I'm not from Plymouth. I'm from between Plymouth and Exeter. Nice. So anyway, I got down there and I've got onto the drive and Amelia's like, I swear down, she'll never admit it, but I swear she's laughing underneath her skin.

53:48She's like, Lou would love it. If that happened to me and Lou, she'd absolutely fucking love it. So Amelia's trying to talk to me and don't talk to me. Don't talk to me. I'm not, I'm not in the mood. She went, no, just don't talk to me. We got there a really good time to be fair. I can't remember what time we got there and we didn't have to leave till like three o 'clock or so. She was travelling light. Pop into Drake's Passage and he's away. Yeah, so anyway, we got there at a good time. And I remember we got like two hours or so, two or three hours. I said to her, babe, don't talk to me. Anyway, bless her.

54:14Her stepdad comes out and he's like, you're right, mate. I went, no, Michael. He went, look, I've got spare pants if you need them. I went, mate, don't. I'm not wearing all my stepdad's pants. And bless him, I drove down to Drake's Circus, managed to buy what I needed. Yeah. I called down and we cracked the weekend. There's a shop assistant with a fucking incredible anecdote there. like polymers turned up polymers turned up with no clothes it was the most stressful thing and it and it's obviously a family joke now every time we we travel down it's like have you got your stuff yeah and then you get home and you can see it all there sat there waiting where was it in your house when you got home oh it was so frustrating i because i remember i hung it on the back of the utility door just as we was leaving so it was there i could i walked straight past it two three times i ironed it i pressed it it was everything there my shoes were there my toiletry bag everything was there it was beautiful it was all set looking the bollocks and then yeah i absolutely know at least you've got it the right way around though you're prioritizing emilia and the baby yeah exactly yeah you're a good man ollie it's been amazing we're gonna ask you one last question we ask everyone what's the one thing that um your partner emilia does as a mother that you're like you're amazing i could not do this without you i'm in awe of you and what's the one thing she does as a mum that actually annoys you a little bit and if she was to listen she might go yeah he's got a point there that is a bit annoying Are we talking as a parent or just as a general person?

55:36I mean, if you want to rip apart her as a person as well as a mother, that's on you. What's the great thing about Amelia as a parent? I don't want to get too soppy. Get soppy, come on, mate. Honestly, genuinely, I said this to her yesterday. There's not one flaw I can give Amelia as a parent. I saw this guy chatting the other day on social media and he said it right. He said, you know, one of the biggest decisions of your life is picking the right woman to have family with and to fall in love with and make the right decision genuinely I waited a long time to find Amelia when I did I just knew she would be the perfect wife for me and the perfect mum and soon as Maddie came along from day one Amelia's been unbelievable genuinely I couldn't have done this with anyone else she's just great at everything and the one thing I thought Amelia would struggle with is she's not patient but she's really worked on that because i said to her just be patient baby patient you're the one thing you don't do in general life she's always like rushing yeah but with the baby she's so patient so great and like i said i've been away quite a bit with maddie because of touring and stuff and now obviously this year with the other tour that i've been doing she's just been brilliant so i can't say anything negative she's been absolutely fantastic there's not one thing that gets you a little she leave bottles out does she you know it could be a little thing like that Hang on a minute.

56:53Yeah, they're the positives. They're the positives. The negative thing I would say, and I always said this to Amelia, is that I never wanted to live in a house that was quiet. Yeah. And when Maddie goes to sleep, I mean, she literally couldn't be further away than the lounge. Like she's right tucked up in like the bedroom upstairs. Like she wouldn't be able to hear a conversation. And I'm being told to shut up because it's too loud. Can you shut up? Do you think that's just an excuse to tell you to shut up? I think so, yeah. But she's just like, why do you have to be so loud? I'm like, I've got to shut the door to go out to the garage because you've asked me to put the bins out.

57:29Do you need to slam the plates down into the dishwasher? The baby's asleep. I'm like, babe, come on. Like, we can't live like this every single day. So that's probably the one thing Amelia will probably say when she watches this and this back. There's more. But genuinely, like across the board, she's phenomenal. The negative of Amelia is that you're too loud. I think I'm too loud. No wonder you fucked your voice up, mate, and had to stop the gig off the way through in Glasgow. My dad's there before he's getting there, so maybe I'm just getting like my dad, you know what I mean? Ollie, it's been an absolute joy.

57:58Cheers, mate. Thank you so much. Enjoy the gigs over summer, but really, good luck. We need you back on in about a year's time when you've got two under two. Oh, please. Unless it's as easy again, in which case we're never booking you again. That would just be the chat. I'll walk on and you guys, right, before we go any further, how's it been? If I go, do you know what? It's been brilliant. You go, all right, that's great. Here's the tall dates. Goodbye. genuinely guys I appreciate it um you know being a parent and being a dad's one of the best jobs I absolutely love it it's hard it's tough it's difficult at times but it genuinely is the best thing in the world so I appreciate you guys bringing the laughter with it and just having me on to talk about it it's been great so thanks oh thanks it's been a pleasure
