Britain is baking, tempers are rising, and everyone seems to have an opinion.

This week, Lew and his 69-year-old Cockney dad, Steve, tackle the UK’s 2026 heatwave. Was the legendary summer of 1976 really hotter? Should schools stay open when classrooms become ovens? And should there be a legal maximum temperature for workplaces?

They compare British summers to some of the hottest places on Earth, chat about why the UK always seems unprepared for extreme weather, and ask whether we’ve become more cautious than previous generations.

Plus, Steve shares his no-nonsense advice for surviving the heat, they discuss the importance of staying safe in soaring temperatures, and round things off by testing out Lew’s Father’s Day gift – a button packed with 120 terrible dad jokes.

A hot topic, plenty of laughs, and another classic generation gap.

Should social media be banned for under 16s?

This week Lew and Steve tackle one of the biggest debates currently making headlines across the UK as the Government considers following Australia and restricting social media access for younger teenagers. Is it about protecting childhood, or will kids simply find a way around it?

Then it’s over to Adam & Eve It, where Steve shares his thoughts on proposals that could require drivers over 70 to pass compulsory eye tests every three years. Is it sensible road safety or an unfair attack on older drivers?

Finally, in Say It Like Steve, the pair explore why younger generations are fascinated by couples who have stayed together for decades. Is there really a secret formula for a long and happy relationship, or have modern expectations changed the game completely?

Plus, there’s the usual moaning, questionable wisdom and a couple of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off. One of them may even be funny.

This 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”? And why do so many people remember things differently from how they actually happened?

We also chat about CERN, conspiracy theories, ancient civilisations and whether history is really as reliable as we think it is.

Plus, Steve shares his advice on avoiding phone scammers, we discuss why pensioners are often targeted, and there’s another round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off.

We chat about:

• The biggest Mandela Effects people still argue about
• Whether CERN changed reality (or if the internet has lost its mind)
• Why people remember things differently
• Phone scams and how to avoid them
• Ancient mysteries and lost civilisations
• Sports Day, terrible weather and even worse dad jokes

As always, it’s honest, it’s funny, and it’s a little bit chaotic.

If you’ve ever argued that Del Boy definitely said “Rodney, you plonker” or wondered whether your memory can actually be trusted, this one’s for you.
