Summary

How can Countdown help with homeschooling? What exactly is going on at Tupperware parties these days? And is every hole REALLY a goal? Answering all these questions is our old friend Steve Hill!

He tells us how he's been coping with the corona situation, and we find out the best thing he bought during lockdown. There's also some chat about Steve's capsule wardrobe, and we congratulate him on completing the Couch to 5K, just seven years after downloading the app.

Then it's time for Book Chat, where we discuss Steve's excellent new tome, Wall of Sport: My Descent into Multiscreen Madness. His previous football-focused book, The Card, is still in print. We are mentioned in both of them, is the main point.

You can find Steve on Twitter @hillythefish, or follow him on Instagram @dad_of_lad.

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

1:33.0	lounge growing up and there's a brave new fucking big step for podcasts. Small step me personally.
1:39.4	You've made, we're recording this podcast at Bloody Hot Pots 10 at night because you said you could,
1:43.0	you could do any night, but not before, not before 10 o'clock. What the hell are you doing every night
1:47.6	until I've watched five Premier League football matches and one Scottish football match?
1:53.2	I didn't even know football was still a thing. Are you what fucking planet you live on? The
1:57.6	Premier League is live every single day or planet, planet, planet, I don't give a fuck about football
