Cockney & Son

Lew & Steve

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.

    Episode 26: The Office Christmas Party, Same old resolutions & Steve’s 2026 Speech

    Send us a text 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. 🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London New episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.

    Episode 25: The Penultimate of Madness & Its Christmas competition time

    Send us a text 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.

    Episode 24: Festive Stress, Social Media Mess & Dad joke regrets

    Send us a text Episode 24 is here — and we’re officially knee-deep in Christmas chaos. From ceramic trees to collapsing garlands, Elf-on-the-Shelf disasters, panic buying gravy on Uber, and the pure joy of a £2 advent calendar… Lew and Steve break down the ultimate 2025 festive checklist and realise just how mad December has become. Then it’s onto Adam & Eve It, where the pair tackle the very British tradition of moaning all month long: the cold, the queues, the wrapping paper that’s gone walkabout, and the eternal mystery of where the sellotape edge disappears to. We also cover: 🎄 Keeping the peace on Christmas Day (or avoiding arguments entirely) 🎄 Matching PJs, Christmas Eve boxes & posh Santa visits 🎄 When festive coffees cost more than a small mortgage 🎄 Why Steve’s mattress was apparently made of hay 🎄 And… a fresh batch of dad jokes that may or may not have been written by “Steve’s team of professional writers.” It’s festive mayhem, Cockney logic, and two generations trying to survive December without decking more than just the halls.

    Episode 22: British Sayings, Jungle Line Up & Dad Jokes Galore Episode

    Send us a text In this week’s episode, things have been a bit heavy behind the scenes, but we’re showing up the only way we know how — with honesty, a good natter, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off by diving into a world of classic British sayings. From “you’re having a laugh” to “it’s all gone pear-shaped,” Lew throws a list at Steve to see which phrases are still alive in 2025 and which should’ve stayed in 1973. Then it’s onto modern slang — “peng,” “peak,” “safe,” and even the mysterious “6’7” noise every kid is doing right now. After that, the pair get stuck into a very on-trend rant: this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! line-up. Real celebs? Reality stars? One angry ginger? Steve’s not holding back. In Say It Like Steve, Lew asks what Steve secretly loves about modern life — and the answer might just surprise you. And of course, we wrap things up with The Bleeding Dad Joke, featuring long-winded nonsense, chicken wordplay, and a truly chaotic punchline involving the Pope.

    Send us a text Autumn’s here and the nights are drawing in — which means the moaning’s back in full swing! This week Lew and Steve dive into some of the biggest misconceptions about British people: ☕ Do we really live off tea and crumpets? 🇬🇧 Do we all sound like the Royal Family? 🦷 And what’s the truth about those “bad British teeth”? 💥 In Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week), Lew’s had enough of random fireworks going off at midnight — poor Belle’s in bits and he’s calling for a national ban (with a cheeky idea for “silent fireworks”). 🐶 Then in Say It Like Steve, a listener asks: “My dog hates my new boyfriend — should I take it as a sign?” 😂 And don’t miss The Bleedin’ Dad Joke, where things descend into chaos, bad puns, and the odd snort-laugh. So stick the kettle on, grab a biscuit, and join two generations of London life having a right old natter. 🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & YouTube.
