Cockney & Son

Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.

    Send us Fan MailThis 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”?

    PGL Peace, Slamming Doors & Is Time Speeding Up?

    Send us Fan MailThe 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 LondonNew episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.Got a question or topic you want my dad’s take on?Send it over on Instagram: @twodadsinlondon Thanks for listening — if you enjoyed it, give us a follow, leave a rating, and share it with someone who remembers when milk came in bottles.

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.🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Amazon MusicFollow @CockneyAndSon on Instagram and TikTok for clips, behind-the-scenes laughs and more.🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One LondonNew episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.Got a question or topic you want my dad’s take on?Send it over on Instagram: @twodadsinlondon Thanks for listening — if you enjoyed it, give us a follow, leave a rating, and share it with someone who remembers when milk came in bottles.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.
