Should social media be banned for under 16s?

This week Lew and Steve tackle one of the biggest debates currently making headlines across the UK as the Government considers following Australia and restricting social media access for younger teenagers. Is it about protecting childhood, or will kids simply find a way around it?

Then it’s over to Adam & Eve It, where Steve shares his thoughts on proposals that could require drivers over 70 to pass compulsory eye tests every three years. Is it sensible road safety or an unfair attack on older drivers?

Finally, in Say It Like Steve, the pair explore why younger generations are fascinated by couples who have stayed together for decades. Is there really a secret formula for a long and happy relationship, or have modern expectations changed the game completely?

Plus, there’s the usual moaning, questionable wisdom and a couple of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off. One of them may even be funny.

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.

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.

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.

After Richard somehow turned a nice family day out into a 40 mile ramble through Hastings, SATs week stress, birthday chaos, and me completely failing at time management… Episode 14 is a slightly unhinged one.

This week on Cockney & Son:

• Bit of a Natter
 The aftermath of the “short walk” that nearly finished us off, SATs stress, and surviving another busy week

• Adam & Eve It
 Zebra crossings… why does nobody stop anymore?

• Say It Like Steve
 Politics, pavement works taking 120 days, and why everyone just needs to slow down a bit

• Bleedin’ Dad Jokes
 Questionable jokes, terrible punchlines, and chaos as always

Real life, random opinions, and complete nonsense. Exactly how we like it.

If your family weekends somehow always end in exhaustion… this one’s for you.

This week on Cockney & Son, things get surprisingly dramatic… because Dad’s officially been recognised in public and it may have gone straight to his head.

From bank holiday chaos, soaked pedalo disasters and planning the girly’s birthday party, to SATs week stress and the debate around schools closing for polling stations, Lew and Steve are back with another honest, funny and completely unfiltered episode.

This week’s Adam & Eve It tackles the frustration around school attendance fines, inset days and election week closures… while Say It Like Steve dives into the growing conversation around weight loss jabs, dieting and whether modern life is making healthy living harder than ever.

Plus there’s terrible dad jokes, old-school opinions, and a reminder that none of us actually remember Year 6 maths.

If you like proper conversations, a bit of nostalgia and two generations trying to make sense of modern life… this one’s for you.

This week on Cockney & Son, we’re back with another chaotic catch up as we dive into a packed family weekend, from beach adventures and birthday celebrations to garden projects and pre teen excuses for being too tired for school.

In Adam & Eve It, Steve tackles Britain’s pothole epidemic, sharing his brutally honest thoughts on the state of UK roads, why they seem worse than ever and what really needs fixing.

In Say It Like Steve, dad answers a listener’s personal question about why he never remarried, with his usual honest, unfiltered style.

Plus, the Bleedin’ Dad Jokes return with more questionable humour.

Real life, proper opinions and plenty of laughs.

Back to reality… and it’s chaos.

After what feels like half a year of kids being off, back-to-back holidays, ferry trips, theme parks, and a household bug wiping Rich out, we’re finally back behind the mics — just about holding it together.

This week on Cockney & Son:

• Bit of a Natter: The madness of post-Easter life, juggling kids, travel, and trying to get back into some sort of routine
• Adam & Eve It: Tube Strike 2.0 — have they gone too far this time? Honest opinions incoming
• Say It Like Steve: “Most people overthink things that don’t really matter” — and why we all need to just crack on sometimes
• Bleedin’ Dad Jokes: Dark, questionable… and probably our best/worst yet

Real life, proper opinions, and a lot of chaos — just how we like it.

If you’ve ever needed a break after a break… this one’s for you.

This week… we’ve completely lost the plot.

No “then vs now,” no deep chats — just a full-on Bleedin’ Dad Joke head-to-head.

Five jokes each.

No filter.

No mercy.

Just ten absolutely terrible jokes.

While Lew’s off living his best life on holiday, we didn’t want to leave you hanging — so we’ve pre-recorded this chaotic special where it’s Dad vs Son to see who actually delivers the better (or worse) punchlines.

From immortal cats to questionable woodworking courses… it’s exactly what you’d expect — and somehow worse.

👉 We need you to decide the winner:

Was it Lew or Steve?

Drop us a message, comment, or DM and cast your vote.

Short, painful, and definitely not award-winning… but if you made it to the end — fair play.

Follow, subscribe, leave a review, and we’ll be back next week with a proper episode.

This episode is pre-recorded (so don’t expect us to be knee-deep in chocolate just yet), but we’re still diving into everything Easter — from how it used to be back in the 70s to the full-blown chocolate madness of today.

We chat about:

What Easter looked like “back in the day” vs now

• How kids somehow end up with 5–10 eggs each
• Whether Easter has become more about showing off than celebrating
• Hot cross buns getting completely out of hand
• And the truth about who actually eats all the leftover chocolate (spoiler: it’s not the kids)

There’s also a classic Adam & Eve It rant about modern Easter pressure, a simple Say It Like Steve question (dream Easter egg — money no object), and of course… some properly questionable Easter dad jokes to finish.

As always, it’s honest, it’s funny, and it’s a little bit chaotic.

If you’ve ever wondered how Easter went from one small egg in foil… to full-on Easter Eve boxes and themed home décor — this one’s for you.
