“Ones a doctor and one’s lazy” 😂 the best part about this is that Russell’s wife is a doctor lmao

[@LaMortDeLaMusique]

Russ speaking from experience being the lazy one in the relationship

[@Anaki_Rob]

I'm guessing that the lazy one is "other mummy"

[@B_Bodziak]

I could watch an entire show of Russell asking the "Philosophical Kid" questions about life. He must wear his parents out asking, "But, why?"

[@HonestMan112]

Probably autistic, but such a sweet kid. All of them were sweet in their own ways!

[@karenm2669]

I love the philosophical kid, but I have a hunch he already has the answers 😂

[@wisteela]

He is awesome.

[@hardywatkins7737]

I think his parents read him Nietzsche and Plato for bedtime stories.

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

the kid is on the spectrum. He is very bright but probably has no social skills, thinks everyone else is a dummy and puts people off because of his know-all approach. Funny, even interesting to start with but ultimately exhausting and possibly even condescendingly rude. Also talks so fast it is hard to understand him. No one really likes a smart arse. #don’t bother trolling me anyone…I won’t give you the satisfaction of a response…as I am entitled to my opinion.

[@Supreme-King]

Bruh I'm dying, imagine a kid telling their friends they have two moms and the first question they get is "Which one cooks the spaghetti"

[@muncheesuppar]

playground politics deserves it's own 1 hour episode every week , these kids are amazing.

[@B_Bodziak]

Everytime I've seen Liz walk onto a stage and stand at a podium, she looks like she's as surprised to be there as the rest of us are that she lasted a whole 6 weeks.

[@PLAUG3DR]

That’s because she is 😂😂

[@samprizeman4509]

Or as surprised as everyone that she had the job for a day, let alone six weeks

[@esmeecampbell7396]

I genuinely think she was special needs retarded and got set up. I mean...what the fuck was she on about with the cheese and "I'm going to China to open a market" or whatever

[@anttibjorklund1869]

TBF she probably only lasted that long because the Queen died and parliamentary business was suspended for much of the official mourning period.

[@lornaginetteharrison7168]

It’s weird how already I’m misremembering how long she was PM. In my mind, week one she killed the Queen, week two she killed the economy, and then she was gone!

[@willfomes406]

the clip from peppa pig where that little polar bear had 2 mothers was adorable. Nothing abusive about it. If anything it will teach kids to be tolerant and respectful of other people.

[@matbroomfield]

Russell Howard is a CLASS ACT - Never Mess with Brits when it comes to Comedy and keeping us all entertained.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@elenawilliams32]

Agreed, I'm a New Zealander currently living in Australia and my favourite comedians are all from the UK. They're second to none.

[@tearsofawaterfall2656]

People who think it’s abuse to have another point of view exposed to them are seriously messed up. It’s not abuse. Abuse is trying to censor everything around your child so that they grow up to be a mini you with all your opinions because if they didnt, you’d struggle to love them. That’s more abusive than your child growing up with lots of opinions around them, then using critical thinking to determine what they think about issues instead of just parroting you

[@laestrella9727]

[@Hannah-no8yh]

This is what gets me , whenever I get angry because someone has mistreated me I’m overreacting or being over the top , if a man shouts at me for making a mistake or doing something wrong it’s because ‘it’s the only way I can get you to understand how I feel’ or ‘it’s the only way I can get you to listen’ meanwhile I’m open to being told I’ve messed up , but not open to being scolded like a child .

[@josefj.cfourie198]

In South Africa, since about four (4) or five (5) years ago, we have daily blackouts "load shedding". Usually for two (2) hours at a time three (3) to five (5) times a day, but at times like recently it has been four (4) hours at a time. When load shedding is four (4) hours at a time, the water pumps don't get enough time to fill the reservoirs with water, so then our homes also run out of running water. Not clean running water though, the water our homes have been supplied with for the last couple of years is, according to a swimming pool clarification product's "self-test sticks", not safe to swim in, but according to our government, it is what we must drink. Unfortunately, the majority of people in South Africa are too stupid to realize that the current government is incapable of leading the country and too naive enough to believe they will do better next time. So the majority voted for them again and probably will again. Within 30 years, the current government has managed to tear down each and every pillar of the country, from education, and health to infrastructure and finance... but you won't hear any country complain or concern themselves about it. They only cared about the lives of South Africans when we had a government they didn't like, now that more people are dying and more people struggle to survive, now they are happy. ... Was that the plan all along??
