Summary

Yes, he's back - one of our favourite ever podcast guests returns for a new episode! Download now before it gets banned like the last one.

This time we cover everything from Ranj's views on the Corona vaccine to the naughtiest things we've ordered from Deliveroo. We also hear how he and Helen are coping with the current mandemic. That's not a spelling mistake.

Ranj has a new book out, How to Grow Up and Feel Amazing! The No-Worries Guide for Boys. We talk about why he chose to write for lads specifically, how to talk to kids about puberty, and how we can help our sons not to become dickheads when they're older. Obviously, it all descends into filth. Ranj's book is brilliant and it's out on 18th February.

SAFETY NOTICE: This podcast was recorded remotely, which is why it sounds a bit different - sorry about that. We're doing our best, and we'll be back to sitting on Ellie's sofa with our guests as soon as it's safe to do so.

0:00.0	Today's episode is sponsored by EE. Now we have managed to record this episode amongst just the
0:05.0	sheer chaos of two alive, juggling teens, homework, washing piles and just mess. They just mess
0:11.0	all the time. How my kids know how to tie their own shoes or the days of the week is beyond me,
0:15.9	but help is at hand. I am very pleased to tell you that EE have introduced EE Learn.
0:21.9	It's a collection of tools, services and information to help families like mine learn wonderful
0:26.8	things and it's open to everyone everywhere. Their new digital platform EE Learn Smart gives kids
0:32.5	access to inspiring mentors from fabulous places like BAFTA and the FA. The lessons can help kids
0:38.3	pick up new skills that will help them get on and this could be something from backyard chemistry
0:43.4	to future ready financial advice. Do you know what? I just wish I had something like this when I was
0:47.5	growing up. Actually, I think I'm still growing up, so I better go to EE Learn right now. And if you
0:53.5	want to find out more, just search EE Learn. All right, should I introduce this one Helen,
0:58.4	as soon as you did the, yes, you can do Dr. Rand lucky bitch. I think this one might be a little spice
1:06.4	here. This is the Scummy Mummy's podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, in the Scummy Mummy's podcast,
1:25.4	I'm Annie Gibson and I'm Helen Thorne and I am overexcited because today the doctor is in the
1:32.8	house. They let me back. Let me back in. We beg you, Ranch. We beg you. Welcome back, Ranch. How are you?
1:47.0	I mean, we're in a pandemic. Other than that, I'm more unkidori, really. And you are a doctor,
1:54.4	obviously, the clues in the name Dr. Rand. But you're not like Dr. Fox, you are a real doctor,
2:01.4	so you're on the front line, aren't you? You're in the hospital. How's that going?
2:05.0	Yeah, it's weird. It's challenging. I work with kids, though. So if there's any silver lining to
2:11.2	all of this horrible coronavirus stuff, is that kids are still relatively under-affected.
2:17.5	That means that doesn't mean they don't get it. Some of them do get it. Do get it in a small
2:21.9	proportion, do get really sick. But fortunately, we're not seeing loads and loads of kids.
