Send us a text In this week’s episode, we’re looking back at 25 episodes of Cockney & Son chaos, comfort and proper old-school graft. From the early days in June to now, Lew and Steve chat about their biggest surprises, funniest moments, accidental catchphrases, near-cancellations, French accents, conspiracies, neighbours, and why Steve is now apparently “practising in the mirror” before recording. We revisit the classic rants — 20mph zones, cycle lanes, Royal Mail nostalgia, robots...
Send us a text Episode 24 is here — and we’re officially knee-deep in Christmas chaos. From ceramic trees to collapsing garlands, Elf-on-the-Shelf disasters, panic buying gravy on Uber, and the pure joy of a £2 advent calendar… Lew and Steve break down the ultimate 2025 festive checklist and realise just how mad December has become. Then it’s onto Adam & Eve It, where the pair tackle the very British tradition of moaning all month long: the cold, the queues, the wrapping paper that’s gone...
Send us a text Lew and Steve dive head-first into the most important debates in British history… well, sort of. From chip-shop curry sauce and crispy-edged crumpets to the eternal ketchup-vs-brown-sauce war, no snack is safe. The pair also tackle the chaos of modern deliveries — Yodel, Royal Mail, lockers, drones and the poor old postie who’s “still getting off his chair.” Expect a full-blown Steve rant, naturally. Then it’s time for Say It Like Steve, where Steve reveals what he’d fix about ...
Send us a text In this week’s episode, things have been a bit heavy behind the scenes, but we’re showing up the only way we know how — with honesty, a good natter, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off by diving into a world of classic British sayings. From “you’re having a laugh” to “it’s all gone pear-shaped,” Lew throws a list at Steve to see which phrases are still alive in 2025 and which should’ve stayed in 1973. Then it’s onto modern slang — “peng,” “peak,” “safe,” and even the myste...
Send us a text This isn’t one of our usual episodes. It’s just me Lew, speaking honestly about what life feels like right now. The past few weeks have been some of the hardest our family has ever faced, and I’ve found myself trying to hold everything together for the people I love, even when I feel like I’m falling apart inside. This is about love, loss, and what it means to just keep showing up even when you don’t have the right words or the strength you wish you had. If you’ve ever supporte...
Send us a text 🎙️ It’s a milestone episode — number 20! But this one’s a bit different… Lew’s at home, Dad’s in SW1, and somehow they’ve managed to record from two different locations. What could possibly go wrong? 💬 Bit of a Natter: Things that used to take ages but now take seconds — from film developing and paying bills to booking holidays and finding directions. (Spoiler: Dad still swears by an A-to-Z.) 🤖 Adam & Eve It: The pair get stuck into a proper rant about AI — the pros, the co...
Send us a text Autumn’s here and the nights are drawing in — which means the moaning’s back in full swing! This week Lew and Steve dive into some of the biggest misconceptions about British people: ☕ Do we really live off tea and crumpets? 🇬🇧 Do we all sound like the Royal Family? 🦷 And what’s the truth about those “bad British teeth”? 💥 In Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week), Lew’s had enough of random fireworks going off at midnight — poor Belle’s in bits and he’s calling for a national ba...
Send us a text 📺 Bit of a Natter: Lew and Steve reminisce about everyday items from the 70s and 80s that have completely vanished — from TV aerials and phone books to smoking indoors and those deadly travel sweet tins rolling around the glovebox. What will disappear next… door keys, maybe? 📦 Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week): After 42 years with Royal Mail, Steve’s had enough of modern-day delivery drivers! From parcels left in bins to “knock-and-run” drop-offs, he tells it exactly as it i...
Send us a text It’s an emotional one this week — and not just because there’s sad news at the end (we’ll keep you guessing). Lew and Dad take a trip down memory lane to talk all things Saturday Night TV, from The Generation Game and Blind Date to Gladiators and Stars in Their Eyes. Where have the Brucies and Cillas gone? And why does every show now have someone screaming into a mic? In “Adam & Eve It”, Dad’s on a proper rant about today’s presenters, Amanda Holden doesn’t come out of this...
Send us a text In this episode: Bit of a Natter – What would you actually do if you won £74 million? Would you go public, keep it secret, or disappear to a villa in Spain? Lew and Dad share their fantasy plans, debate whether money really brings happiness, and how it might change family life. Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week) – The Prime Minister wants to introduce a new “brick card” ID… but Dad’s not having it. Another card? Another system? He’s got a few things to say about that. Say It ...
Send us a text In this episode: Screens & Gaming – Lew opens up about the battles of modern parenting: Fortnite, FIFA, Roblox, in-game purchases, and whether screens are really to blame for kids’ moods. Dad weighs in on how things were “back in his day.” Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week) – Christmas has officially started… in September! With mince pies already on shelves and supermarket delivery slots going live three months early, Dad’s not having it. Say It Like Steve – A Halloween s...
Send us a text This week I’m taking Dad out of this world (literally) as I quiz him about Atlas 3i – the interstellar visitor that’s got social media buzzing with alien theories. Is it just a space rock, or are the odds too strange to ignore? Back on Earth, I put Dad through an “old people habits” quiz – does he moan about traffic, hoard plastic bags, and groan every time he stands up? (Spoiler: it doesn’t look good for him). In Say It Like Steve, a listener wants to renew her wedding vows, b...
Send us a text This week it’s episode 13 – unlucky for some, but (mostly) not for us! Lew surprises Dad with his very first autumn candle, before diving into a bumper Bit of a Natter featuring questions and gripes from our listeners. From cars clogging pavements and supermarket snackers to £7 hot chocolates and the stress of secondary school choices – nothing’s off the table. We also tackle the big talking point of the week: tube strikes. Are drivers right to demand less work for more money, ...
Send us a text We’re back after a short break, and this week’s episode is a mix of laughs, debates, and a bit of advice. From autumn leaves and pumpkin-spiced everything, to whether flying the Union Jack has lost its meaning, we cover it all with plenty of Cockney & Son banter. In Say It Like Steve, we tackle a follower’s question: how do you build the confidence to go out alone, whether that’s grabbing a coffee, heading to the park, or even sitting down for a meal for one? As always, Ste...
Send us a text Cockney & Son hit the road again, this time recording live from the South of France! 🇫🇷 Expect sunshine (and a few storm clouds), villa life, and plenty of laughs as we swap London chaos for St Tropez beaches. We chat about French culture vs London life, Dad’s ongoing battle with his knobbly knees (and whether we need to start a GoFundMe for his knee ops), and the struggle of speaking French when all you can manage is “merci.” Add in a dramatic fall into the sea, dodgy sand...
Send us a text Double digits and on location! This week we’re coming to you from a very glamorous… caravan in Hailing Island (don’t be jealous). It’s the first stop on our Cockney & Son “world tour” before we head to the sunny South of France next week. We chat about our upcoming Eurocamp-to-villa upgrade, Dad’s legendary beachside massage story, and why he’s waging war on the clocks going back. Expect seagulls, surprise kid cameos, MOT moans, and a healthy debate about whether farmers re...
Send us a text This week, we’re pulling down the garden fence and having a natter about neighbours the good, the bad, and the downright nosy. From creepy legends like “Rosie Meadow” to shared garden bins and awkward chats over the washing line, we ask: do people still talk to their neighbours, or are we all Ring doorbells and bolted gates these days? Then it’s onto a proper moan about the price of plastic bags how did we go from getting them for free to needing a mortgage for a Ba...
Send us a text We’re back—and this week, Steve’s off the beach and straight into a moan! From £100 kids’ days out to packing cubes and pressure to post your holiday on social media, we’re chatting holidays then vs now. 👉 In Bit of a Natter, we look at the rise of Insta-perfect travel, why British seaside breaks got left behind, and whether we’re all just overthinking a bit of sunshine. 😤 In Adam & Eve It, manners are under fire—from people not saying thank you to kids glued to screens whi...
Send us a text Episode 7 of Cockney & Son, it’s lucky number seven — but not for the things that give us the ick! From men in flip-flops on the tube, to funeral selfies (yes, really), we’re diving headfirst into the modern cringes that wind us right up. Dad even takes on baby talk to pets and people filming entire concerts — and let’s just say, he’s not holding back. Then in Adam & Eve It, it’s full-on road rage (verbally, at least) as Dad rants about traffic, bike lanes, and why Lond...
