Cockney & Son

Mandela Effects, Scammers & The Perfect Joke

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509010/fan_mail/new] This week on Cockney & Son… We dive into the weird world of the Mandela Effect. Did the Monopoly Man really wear a monocle? Did Del Boy ever say “Rodney, you plonker”? And why do so many people remember things differently from how they actually happened? We also chat about CERN, conspiracy theories, ancient civilisations and whether history is really as reliable as we think it is. Plus, Steve shares his advice on avoiding phone scammers, we discuss why pensioners are often targeted, and there’s another round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off. We chat about: • The biggest Mandela Effects people still argue about  • Whether CERN changed reality (or if the internet has lost its mind)  • Why people remember things differently  • Phone scams and how to avoid them  • Ancient mysteries and lost civilisations  • Sports Day, terrible weather and even worse dad jokes As always, it’s honest, it’s funny, and it’s a little bit chaotic. If you’ve ever argued that Del Boy definitely said “Rodney, you plonker” or wondered whether your memory can actually be trusted, this one’s for you. 🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London New episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.

PGL Peace, Slamming Doors & Is Time Speeding Up?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509010/fan_mail/new] The boy has been away on his Year 6 residential trip, and Lew and Steve are discovering the strange reality of a quieter house. Is it possible to enjoy the peace and still miss the chaos at the same time? Plus, with secondary school just around the corner, Lew reflects on how quickly the primary school years have disappeared.   In Adam & Eve It, Steve takes aim at one of his biggest everyday annoyances: people who slam car doors like they’re trying to launch them into orbit. Is it bad manners, a generational thing, or is Steve just turning into a grumpy old man?   Then in Say It Like Steve, the pair tackle a surprisingly deep question: why does time seem to move faster the older you get? Is it simply part of growing up, or could there be something more mysterious going on? Expect discussions about childhood summers, the Mandela Effect, giant scientific machines, and a theory that may or may not have any basis in reality whatsoever.   Plus, there’s the return of The Bleedin’ Dad Joke, a plug for a duck-themed Instagram account, and the usual mix of family life, nostalgia, moaning, and complete nonsense. Two generations. One London. Plenty to talk about.   🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London New episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.

Britain’s Worst Quiz, RSVP Rage & Cutting the Apron Strings

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509010/fan_mail/new] This week on Cockney & Son, Lew puts Steve’s “proper British” knowledge to the test in what might genuinely be the worst quiz ever created. From pork scratchings and dunking biscuits to playgrounds that nearly killed an entire generation, it quickly descends into complete chaos. Then it’s time for Adam & Eve It as Lew goes on a full birthday party rant about people who never RSVP properly. Why do parents wait until the last second to reply… or worse, just turn up anyway? And in Say It Like Steve, the conversation turns surprisingly emotional as they chat about Year 6 kids wanting independence, walking to school alone, and the terrifying reality of finally cutting the apron strings as a parent. Plus, there’s questionable stories, old school London memories, and four Bleedin’ Dad Jokes that probably should’ve stayed in the notebook. Available now on all podcast platforms. Watch along on YouTube… or just ask Alexa.   🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London New episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.
