Cockney & Son

Send us Fan Mail

This week on Cockney & Son, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of the clocks going forward… and asking the real question — does anyone actually benefit from it anymore? 

From the origins of daylight saving (cheers, William Willett) to whether it still makes any sense in 2026, we’re combining Bit of a Natter and Adam & Eve It into one big chat-and-moan session — because let’s be honest, staying positive about losing an hour is a stretch.

We also get into a proper debate with this week’s Say It Like Steve:

“Technology was meant to save time… not fill it.”

Has tech made life easier, or has it completely taken over? From phones running our lives to work following us home, it’s old school vs modern life — and neither side is holding back.

Plus, we round things off with a few questionable Bleedin’ Dad Jokes that may (or may not) leave you laughing.

So whether you love the lighter evenings, hate the clock changes, or just fancy a good old moan — stick the kettle on, you don’t wanna miss this one.

Don’t forget to follow, leave a review, and share it with someone who loves a rant as much as you do.

🌼 Spring has officially arrived… apparently. Lew and Dad are back to talk about that very British moment when the sun comes out for five minutes and suddenly winter is “over” — coats are off, shorts are on, and everyone’s planning a whole new outdoor lifestyle. 

💬 Bit of a Natter: The first day of spring, lighter evenings, and all the classic British phrases that come out the second the temperature hits double digits — “it’s nice out”, “getting lighter now”, “do I need a coat?” 

😤 Adam & Eve It: Lew looks at the weird habits of Brits in warmer weather — from judging people for wearing shorts too early, to suddenly becoming garden experts overnight. Is it optimism… or just delusion? 

🌱 Say It Like Steve: A listener question — why do we all say we’re going to sort the garden every year… and never do it? Dad gives his honest take on whether it’s laziness, effort, or just not everyone being “a garden person.” 

😂 The Bleedin’ Dad Joke: Back to the classic format — a head-to-head of dad jokes, including a slightly darker one that might divide opinion.

It’s another episode full of relatable British moments, seasonal delusion and classic Cockney & Son banter — because no one talks about the weather quite like us.

🌸 It’s the Mother’s Day episode! Lew and Dad sit down for a chat about how Mother’s Day has changed over the years — from the simpler days of “Mothering Sunday” to the modern version full of flowers, brunch bookings and gift guides everywhere you look. But it’s also a chance to talk about the more emotional side of the day for families going through loss.

💬 Bit of a Natter: What Mother’s Day looked like growing up in the 70s compared to today, whether it’s become too commercialised, and why the day can mean very different things depending on your situation.

🤔 Adam & Eve It: Lew looks at Mother’s Day from another perspective — asking whether schools should run Mother’s Day gift stalls when not every child has a mum at home, and how family situations today are more varied than ever.

🗣 Say It Like Steve: If you’re lucky enough to still have your parents around, make the effort while you can. Dad shares his thoughts on family relationships, communication and why things aren’t always as simple as they seem.

😂 The Bleedin’ Dad Joke: For one week only… Dad reads out a few classic “your mum” jokes, bringing the episode to a slightly chaotic but very funny finish.

It’s an episode with reflection, honesty and the usual Cockney & Son banter, proving that even when the conversation gets serious, there’s always room for a laugh.

It’s a birthday episode! Dad officially turns 69, which means the countdown to the big 70 has begun. Lew comes prepared with a very questionable “getting ready for 70” gift bag — including 210 tea bags, Werther’s Originals, a word search book and moisturiser for the increasingly crusty skin. What could possibly go wrong?

Bit of a Natter: Turning 69, getting older, and the advice Dad would give to younger people. From regrets and life lessons to why you shouldn’t put things off while you’re young — it’s surprisingly thoughtful… for about five minutes.

Adam & Eve It: Lew dives into the chaos of secondary school placements, after thousands of Year 6 kids found out where they’re going in September. Why do some children get schools miles away? How does the system even work? And was it really simpler “back in Dad’s day”?

Say It Like Steve: People are too quick to take offence instead of having a conversation. Has the world become too sensitive — or is that just what every older generation says?

The Bleedin’ Dad Joke: Horse jokes, ladders, and a few classics that are either brilliant… or absolutely terrible.

It’s another episode full of generational banter, questionable opinions and plenty of laughs from a father-and-son duo who see the world very differently.

Half term’s over, the sun’s (briefly) out, and Lew’s feeling positive, so naturally Steve’s here to balance it out.

This week, the pair chat spring cleaning madness, the explosion of vitamins and supplements, and whether you really need calming gummies… or just a walk in the daylight. In Say It Like Steve, they tackle the idea that “people don’t listen anymore — they just wait to talk,” diving into phones at dinner tables and competitive conversations.

Plus, of course, a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish.

Old-school opinions. Modern-day moans. Proper London banter.

Half term… the joy, the chaos, and the constant need to keep the kids entertained.

In this episode of Cockney & Son, Lew and Steve talk all about half-term survival — from the pressure to plan activities and the cost of days out, to whether kids really need entertaining 24/7 or if boredom might actually be a good thing.

Recorded just before Lew heads off to Holland with Rich and the kids, the pair chat about how school holidays have changed from the 60s and 70s to now, the juggle parents face with work and childcare, and the reality of trying to keep everyone happy for a full week off school. There’s also a proper rant about screens, social media pressure, and why parenting in 2026 feels very different to growing up back in the day.

Plus, as always, expect plenty of old-school opinions, relatable family moments, and a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off.

Love is in the air… and so is the pressure. In this Valentine’s Special of Cockney & Son, Lew and Steve take a proper look at how the big day has changed from the 60s and 70s to now — from anonymous cards through the letterbox to panic-buying gifts, packed restaurants and sky-high expectations.

They chat about secret admirers, the rise of commercialised romance, and whether love should really be proven with expensive jewellery or just a simple card and a bunch of flowers. Steve shares his old-school take on relationships, gives advice to the younger generation, and explains why showing love all year round matters more than one day in February.

There’s also a Valentine’s edition of Adam & Eve It, a classic “Say It Like Steve” moment on people confusing being busy with being important, and a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes guaranteed to make you laugh… or groan.

Expect nostalgia, honest opinions, a few cheeky stories, and plenty of proper London banter.

Cockney & Son – Two generations. One London. Real talk, real laughs, every week.

We’re back… and Series 2 of Cockney & Son starts right here.

After a Christmas break, Steve and Lew return with a brand-new homemade studio, the same unfiltered opinions, and plenty to get off their chests. From surviving the January blues and winter illnesses to modern work excuses, British weather drama, and how life today really compares to back in the day — nothing is off limits.

This episode marks the return of Adam & Eve It, a refreshed Say It Like Steve, and of course Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off properly. It’s familiar, it’s chaotic, and it’s exactly how Series 2 was meant to start.

We’re with you all the way through to summer, so stick the kettle on — Cockney & Son is officially back.

🎧 Next week: Valentine’s Day – the good, the bad and the ugly.

It’s the final episode of Series 1, and we’re ending it the only way we know how, with laughs, honesty, a bit of emotion, and absolutely no sugar-coating.

In this Christmas special, Lew and Steve look back on 26 episodes of graft, graft and more graft, over 5,000 downloads worldwide, from London to New Zealand, the US to Tunisia. Not bad for a mic, a cuppa and a lot of opinions.

We kick off with a festive Bit of a Natter, diving into the chaos of office Christmas parties free bars, bad decisions, gossip, sensible shoes and why you should always remember someone’s watching. Steve shares old-school Royal Mail party memories and gives blunt advice for surviving modern workplace dos and don’ts.

Then it’s Adam & Eve It, as we tackle New Year’s Resolutions, why “New Year, New Me” rarely works, gym memberships in January, saving money, bad habits, and whether there’s any point putting pressure on yourself at all.

The heart of the episode comes with a very special Say It Like Steve, a straight-talking message for Christmas and 2026. No palaces, no pretending. Just real advice about being honest, saying no, laughing louder, not staying where you don’t want to be, and admitting when you’re not fine.

And of course, we finish with absolute chaos in the final Bleedin’ Dad Joke, featuring Christmas crackers, terrible jokes, questionable punchlines and Steve doing what Steve does best.

From June to December, we’ve laughed, moaned, got emotional and kept it real.

Series 1 is done — Series 2 lands in 2026.

Stick the kettle on, have a laugh, and we’ll see you next year.

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 taking over the world and the great baked-bean price debate. Then it’s back to “Say It Like Steve”, where Steve dishes out blunt life advice with zero sugar-coating, followed by a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes that gets… chaotic.

Plus, we reveal the Cockney & Son Christmas Competition and how you can win one of two prizes, including the limited-edition Cockney & Son mug (only three exist in the world — Steve is fuming about the rarity). 

Next week is the big one: the Season One Finale – The Office Christmas Party.

Expect mayhem, surprises, Christmas cracker jokes and festive nonsense.

Hit follow, leave a review if you fancy, and remember: secret listeners, we see you.
