11
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:49,700
marking, Hello everyone.
Welcome back to another episode
12
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,100
of teach sleep.
Repeat, my name is Dylan and my
13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:56,400
name is Hayden.
And this is the big one episode
14
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:58,400
10.
We are celebrating our 10th
15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,200
week.
Hey, Dan.
16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,600
How's it feel?
Double-digit?
17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,300
Say that's pretty cool.
I didn't think we'd make it past
18
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:04,599
about 34.
Want to serve you.
19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,800
So always a bonus, you know,
we're still here.
20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Why is that?
I know, I just thought we'd get
21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,300
bored.
No one's listening.
22
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,200
But we've got like, we got tons
of listeners.
23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,900
Now, Dylan tongue guy, 10
listeners.
24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,500
Like that's like, yeah, so many
listeners.
25
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,700
Okay, so we're here.
We're carrying on and I think
26
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:19,900
we're planning to keep going.
As far as I'm aware.
27
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:21,100
Yeah.
Why not?
28
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:23,700
Why not, I was thinking of maybe
replacing you, but I haven't
29
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,600
told you yet but I'm down to
that when we get there any a
30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,000
lesson and no not yet.
But I did do a poll last week
31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,800
and again people are Keen
something we need to get on
32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Hayden is just sorting out a
guest to come on.
33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,900
The only thing is if a guest
comes on it's just a
34
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:38,800
practicalities of it, isn't it?
Had we need to get so you know
35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
someone's might get them all
ready make sure the internet's
36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,300
all good but it should be
something we can achieve and you
37
00:01:43,308 --> 00:01:45,300
guys want it.
So we're going to find a really
38
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:48,600
good guest to begin with.
I was thinking Boris truss.
39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,900
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah.
40
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,500
I've I've heard he's a fan
favorite from our last episode
41
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:58,300
so yeah, absolutely.
Anyway it is halftime.
42
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,400
And I remember last time we did
a podcast in half time, we spoke
43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,700
about what been up to.
It's only just started, but even
44
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,900
up to much yet Hayden.
I've not been up two loads to
45
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,000
most of you.
I've had a fairly relaxing start
46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
to the half term because I've
got a bit more coming up later
47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,700
on this week.
So I've got a stag do this
48
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,400
weekend or which I've been in
charge of planning.
49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Which always just adds on that
extra bit of pressure, you know,
50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200
like, I hope it's a good.
I hope it's fun.
51
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,000
You can say, you can say it, we
all know what it means, if
52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,400
someone's in charge of planning
a stag.
53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Do what's your official Rogers
almost on the best?
54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,300
Man?
And the best man, so I can
55
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,100
actually tell you what it is
even though it obviously,
56
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,100
recording this few days before
this will come out in the day
57
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,500
over there so it's all good.
So for our stag do, we're going
58
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,300
up to the Lake District?
And we're doing Gorge walking
59
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:46,100
which involves just generally
climbing things, jumping in
60
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:49,100
water and Having a having a
blast too much for you but bit
61
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:54,100
of Interest day, however, I am
excited for it but I was a
62
00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:57,400
little bit worried today but
yesterday in fact, because I
63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,100
went out the front of my house
to just sweep up my driveway a
64
00:03:00,108 --> 00:03:02,600
bit right?
And I was exhausted.
65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,300
Afterwards honest, I like my
legs hurt and I was like oh,
66
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,900
he's sweeping for you know,
three minutes.
67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Okay, I'm going to be climbing.
This is gorgeous for six hours,
68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,500
right?
Yeah.
69
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,000
Bit worried.
You know I'm going to say, don't
70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,500
you?
Go on.
71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400
We went out for lunch.
The day and we had to walk up.
72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,900
What was genuinely genuinely.
Like, like, honestly 20 meters
73
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,200
of a hill and we got to the top.
And I told you, and I said,
74
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,800
please tell me you're sorry, I
can't even finish the sentence
75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
because I was breathing so much
from the tiny Hill there.
76
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:36,600
Because you literally said, I
really say that.
77
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,800
I'll tell you when we're inside
God, no, yes, it's bit.
78
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,700
Embarrassing, really, we need to
sort ourselves out, Dylan.
79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,600
You know, you're nearly 30, I'm
30 we go, we can't do this
80
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,500
declining in.
Physical health, but you know
81
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:49,500
what?
Okay, that's okay, them for
82
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,000
future us.
How was your week?
83
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,100
Yeah, I do, it's been fine.
It's like you said, I've
84
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,100
definitely had a day or two.
I don't know about everyone else
85
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,200
this into this, especially if
their teachers, but the end of
86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,700
term for I just feel like
everything kind of culminates,
87
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,600
you know, you tend to start
thinking about reports, you tend
88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,900
to have parents evening to go to
you just kind of becoming
89
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:12,900
fatigued, right?
And the two-week break comes at,
90
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,200
such, a good point.
So, I've definitely been been
91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
lounging around a bit, which is
much needed.
92
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,600
But, Also, find, you know, I'm
very much like we said before,
93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,900
Sunday's, like, admin days when
you're a teacher, because
94
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:24,900
Saturday, you end up doing a bit
of work Sunday.
95
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:27,200
Maybe you work a bit, but you
just got to get like even just
96
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,700
as an adult Sunday's just
turning to the day, where you
97
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,500
get your washing done, you have
to go shopping.
98
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,300
Just a really boring day that if
you had to tell my 10 year, old
99
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,100
self that had to be dragged away
from my connects and my Bernard
100
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,300
Bionicles, they'd be devastated
but the really boring adult day.
101
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,500
So what I found is half terms
tend to be an extreme version of
102
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,300
that.
So the last couple days.
103
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:49,000
I feel like I've done nothing
but But boring stuff, but it's
104
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,100
good because like you I'm
getting ready for stuff later in
105
00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:53,400
the future.
So I've come run mine, beginner
106
00:04:55,300 --> 00:05:00,900
a foreign company, but did go to
yours with them yesterday.
107
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,400
That's not what I was talking
about, it definitely was.
108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But now I've been doing lots of,
you know, solicitor paperwork
109
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,100
when the process of trying to
sell the house that took out.
110
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,800
It's just so straight anyone
who's moved house, like I wish
111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,200
someone just told me beforehand,
like what an absolute stress is.
112
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,900
Little things like updating my
contract on my phone, you know,
113
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,300
all those tiny jobs which just
kind of wait until you've got
114
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,700
headspace to do you leave him
alone.
115
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,600
He's doing your 12 hour days.
Yeah, exactly.
116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,700
So all the important things I'm
sure next week on the podcast
117
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:31,400
we'll talk about much more
exciting stuff because we got
118
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800
family coming to visit with so
excited, I little niece is
119
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,200
coming to visit.
So what we've just been doing,
120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
they're actually just now before
this podcast, we recorded we
121
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,900
went out just to get some stuff
because when she comes over,
122
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,400
she's from America, they live in
America.
123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,700
So we've not seen that much.
She was born in China, aah in
124
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,900
the height of covid.
So very, very, very hard to have
125
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:53,000
ever seen her.
I've never met her myself.
126
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,700
So, I'm meeting her for the
first time and what we were
127
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,000
doing was just then we went out
and we bought her just some bits
128
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600
to have when she gets here last
night and we obviously just
129
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,900
getting a bit overexcited.
A very, very looking forward to
130
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:04,400
seeing her because she likes Paw
Patrol.
131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,900
She likes Disney.
So he went to the card shop and
132
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:08,500
I'm sure everyone knows those
huge balloons.
133
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,300
You can get.
Yeah, but they kind of blow up
134
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,000
for you.
And there was a huge, Paw
135
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,400
Patrol, 10, and a, My Little
Pony one, cause she really likes
136
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,800
that as well.
That's obviously where stood
137
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,400
there.
See.
138
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,600
These tiny packs they're like 15
centimeters by 10 centimeters.
139
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,500
So, oh yes, let's get two of
them for her.
140
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,400
Be so fun, obviously, forgetting
that they're about to be blown
141
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,100
up.
These are like one meter tall
142
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,300
genuinely or just dropped apps
that you shove them in the car.
143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,300
It was the most stressful
experience ever, I think.
144
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,200
Now we're going to pop but we
made it.
145
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,100
She's got two massive balloons
to have when she comes and I
146
00:06:37,108 --> 00:06:38,900
can't wait for her to just
ignore them when she gets.
147
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,400
Yeah every child does give you
three seconds of attention on
148
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,100
them and never look them again,
you're like okay I'll play of it
149
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:47,300
then.
Oh, was that the Kaaba?
150
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Box.
It all came in are playing that
151
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,700
for four hours and pay downs but
in, but now it's been a, it's
152
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:56,900
been a very, what's the word
when you know, doing Adam, any
153
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:59,400
kind of job so far but I'm like
a dollar to it.
154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,700
Yeah, I do.
It's just, it's just like,
155
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,700
obviously adults.
One more blank about this
156
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,700
because I feel growing up, you
just realize.
157
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,400
Oh, this is just what an adult
does we, you just have to do
158
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,500
loads of washing every single
week and go shopping every
159
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,800
single week and it's so boring
and I think it's okay to say
160
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,200
everyone listening to this is
going.
161
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,000
Yes, I know it's boring day.
Grow up when we grow until
162
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Injustice more boring listening
to you talking about it.
163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,900
So thanks.
That's what I was thinking right
164
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,400
now.
I think in brilliant everybody
165
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200
watching this lesson.
Dillon shut up.
166
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Give us the funny kid stories
from school.
167
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:33,300
That's what we live here last
episode.
168
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,000
And we know that you guys are
going to talk about more Primary
169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
School experiences which is
exactly why we gonna do.
170
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,800
Oh, what an excellent segue.
Yeah, brilliant segue.
171
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,500
We should, we should just play
the, we should just play the
172
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:45,300
jingle there, to be honest.
But now I carried on talking
173
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,200
like always there was a jingle
different but now it's gone.
174
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
No, I could we could edit this
out but we're not going to do
175
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,300
it.
If that's okay.
176
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:52,800
What we gonna do is we're going
to move on because we can go
177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,600
straight to stories but this
time it's different.
178
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,500
Like we said last week, we
teased you with it.
179
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,500
Oh stories from our Primary
School experiences.
180
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:01,800
Okay.
And we've had a couple of people
181
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
right in as well.
So we picked one or two stories
182
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,300
to read out.
So essentially just thinking of
183
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:09,300
memorable stuff from when we
were kids at primary school.
184
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,700
I'm looking forward to this one
because it is you know anyone
185
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:14,200
can relate to this now.
Absolutely.
186
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,300
Anyone connectors?
We all went to Primary School.
187
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,600
We've all got Ridiculous stories
that we love to share and it
188
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,100
kind of started it last week
because I want to jog my memory
189
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:23,700
because you're going to come in
with this story which is an
190
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:25,500
unbelievable story.
We can't wait to try this, it's
191
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,300
just like funny to me but it's
linked to the one I told last
192
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,200
week about how I was trying to
make new friends.
193
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
I just joined the new school
went to the toilet at break
194
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,500
time.
I've never used a year Rio.
195
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,400
I also had someone complained to
me about I called a urinal.
196
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,299
Apparently, it's a urinal.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, urinal.
197
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:43,500
I said apparently.
So anyone wants to take up the
198
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,700
way I pronounce things, please
take out with the northern
199
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,600
Association because I am from
the north Aiden.
200
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,500
And then of you, I was going to
say, it's just the northern you.
201
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,200
I forgive you.
This other things, you know?
202
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,700
Yeah.
Also apparent I mentioned a lot
203
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,000
as well that I'm from the north.
But but yeah, whatever.
204
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,800
I'm proud.
Okay.
205
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,100
Once before.
Good.
206
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:59,400
Not once.
No, I'm not.
207
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,600
I am though.
I am a northerner.
208
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,200
I'm at huh?
Yeah.
209
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,300
Yeah, not tell, you know, I
don't know that but you're from
210
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,400
down in.
Okay, I'm from the north of the
211
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,400
country, honestly, the better
half, but let's go into another
212
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,200
day, but the story was that I
went to the toilet.
213
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,600
I had never used a urinal or a
urinal ever before and I thought
214
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,700
was completely acceptable just
to whack my pants and my
215
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:22,900
trousers all went down to my
ankles and she quickly found
216
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,300
out.
It wasn't not the best first
217
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:27,300
impression but this story I want
you to tell it Hayden because
218
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:29,800
this this was just brilliant.
It was in direct response to
219
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,700
them.
All right, girls have had a
220
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:33,200
story and it's nice and simple.
But yeah, very similar.
221
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,400
You'll see the comparisons.
So this person wrote in and she
222
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,800
was reflecting on a story from I
think reception time she was
223
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,100
saying to me at the time, so
from reception time.
224
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,000
So I'm laughing already.
So So, you know, when you're
225
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200
that age and just nothing's
rational yet, is it, you're kind
226
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
of making sense of the world,
you have don't have much life
227
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,900
experience.
Anyway, so she was jealous
228
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,400
essentially jealous because she
had found out that the boys got
229
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,900
to stand up when they weed.
She was like, what?
230
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,800
That sounds amazing.
That sounds like the best way to
231
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800
we.
So being a reception child, she
232
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,000
took herself to the toilet and
tried to stand up and we and of
233
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,800
course being Like a
five-year-old four-year-old
234
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,700
girl, just it up and we'd all
over herself.
235
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:26,000
We all have her clothes and
there was like, okay, that's
236
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,700
that's pretty rubbish.
Obviously didn't work left and
237
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:31,700
the teachers were like, oh dear
and start accusing her of
238
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:34,700
wetting herself.
And again being like, you know,
239
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:36,800
when you're that young, she
couldn't look past her and she's
240
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,600
like, no I haven't wet myself.
I haven't weighed myself.
241
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,100
I was trying to be like a boy.
I haven't wet myself.
242
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,600
I wasn't being standing up is
that?
243
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Well you know you are covered
in.
244
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,200
We though so you've went no I
don't mind.
245
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:48,900
Self.
I was just I was just waiting
246
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,100
standing up.
That's a good show.
247
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:53,800
You haven't wet yourself.
What's that smell friendly?
248
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:58,500
Why is there a little bit of we
in fact loads of we on the
249
00:10:58,508 --> 00:11:00,900
floor, little over the seat and
the rest is on you.
250
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,800
That looks to me like you've got
yourself.
251
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,100
Could you please define what in
yourself?
252
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,000
So yeah, very similar to your
story.
253
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,500
Just being an arrogant child and
be like, no, I have not been
254
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,400
myself.
That's a different act.
255
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:17,200
I have, we done myself, that's
different.
256
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,500
It was purposeful get out of my
face teacher.
257
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Yeah, I've got a story.
Can I give you can I jump in
258
00:11:26,008 --> 00:11:28,700
with a story, just a sip, not
similar, but it's me really
259
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,500
young as well.
And I was thinking, yeah, this
260
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,800
and just one of those stupid
moments where you think what was
261
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,600
I thinking?
What was I thinking?
262
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,800
I wasn't embarrassingly.
This wasn't reception.
263
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,400
I was in about your five at this
point.
264
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,300
So you think this was the last
year ladies and gentlemen.
265
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,700
It was in this fourth year yet
when I worked in year.
266
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,200
Five know.
So when I was in year 5, so
267
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,800
what's that?
Nine years, old.
268
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Nine years old.
Yeah, and I in the morning, my
269
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,800
best friend at the time was my
best friend for much longer
270
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,700
after this as you can, possibly
imagine thought.
271
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:00,200
It'd be funny to throw chewing
gum at me and I don't think he
272
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000
was intentionally trying to get
it like in my hair but it landed
273
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400
in my hair, right?
Which is obviously.
274
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,500
Wait, wait, wait.
Sorry.
275
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:09,000
Your hair.
Yeah.
276
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,600
So back in the day Dylan I had
more, I had more Luscious Hair
277
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,500
than this and this concoct not
gotta let ho did you always Have
278
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,700
that bigger forehead though.
I'd like to say no but I did.
279
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:25,000
I always one of my nicknames.
The secondary school was big
280
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,500
forehead can isolate a genocide
nickname.
281
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,300
That's just describing it often
came.
282
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:32,800
They often came from across the
playground.
283
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Didn't know who it was but you
know it's just a nickname isn't
284
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,100
people.
Obviously I just never saw them
285
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,200
at no attention.
That's not a nickname that
286
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,900
that's not.
Does that like nicknames her to
287
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:45,300
have layers of like Nuance
describing what they can see on?
288
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,100
Okay, I can't.
It's myself as a nickname
289
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,900
because otherwise it's bullying.
So I know it's a nickname.
290
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,200
They like me hear those kids are
still kids from the air above
291
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,400
shouting at me across the
hallway.
292
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,300
They're just my friends.
Anyway, it's a nickname.
293
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:03,000
So back big forehead little me
with a mop of hair okay.
294
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,600
A nice mop of hair are lad.
Got some chewing gum in my hair
295
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,000
and it was before school that
bitter playground time before
296
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
the whistle goes and you go in.
So I thought, right?
297
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Come on Problem.
Solver, what can I do here?
298
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400
I, you know, I don't I'm
Obviously is chewing gum in my
299
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600
hair.
I think the best course of
300
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,200
action is to go sneak inside
sneak to my tray.
301
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,000
In the classroom, the window
allowed in yet, because no one's
302
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,400
there and cut it out, that way
the best course of action.
303
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,100
So went in there, it was right
in my crown right here, the back
304
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,500
of my head and obviously I can
see it.
305
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,400
So I thought okay it doesn't
feel like too much.
306
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,900
I've grabbed the hair with the
chewing gum in it and thought
307
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,000
right minimized it I'll just cut
just believe the chewing gum.
308
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,900
I just cut that bit out.
Did it chucked?
309
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,900
It away?
You know, legs back outside,
310
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,300
Bish bash, Bosh.
Glad no one's going to know now
311
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,600
that that's happened.
I'd ask it my friend in trouble.
312
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,900
I'm not in trouble.
Anyway, fast forward, five
313
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,200
minutes should go inside and the
teacher was like, whoa, what
314
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,900
have you done?
I just cut the biggest lump
315
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,800
clump of hair out and I had a
big patch.
316
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,000
They have to go home, obviously,
cried, and it, and it never grew
317
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200
back.
I did this.
318
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,500
I repeated this process six or
seven times, and that's where
319
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,000
I'm at now.
Okay, so they call me, big
320
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
forehead, they call me chewing
gum head as well.
321
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Don't know what, you know, these
names disappeared over the
322
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,800
years.
So that's just, that's my
323
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,100
idiotic moment.
I'll always remember as a child
324
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,200
too, afraid to just do the right
thing and just ask for help and
325
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
that ladies and gentlemen, is
how Hayden went bald.
326
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Thank you for tuning in as an
amazing story.
327
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,700
But the thing, the thing I love
about Primary School Stories is
328
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400
when I thought about this a few
times, I know we've spoken about
329
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,900
this before because it's really
mad some Kind of duality of with
330
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:48,900
primary school teachers and
we're very aware of our
331
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,000
Consciousness, right?
We're very aware of the memories
332
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
were making.
I can remember lots and lots and
333
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,400
lots from pretty much every year
where I've been a teacher.
334
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
But, and you see these children
who have their own
335
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800
personalities, they're already
molded into their own people and
336
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,100
they're very specific and very
real emotions and very real
337
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,600
problems, right?
That we deal with every day, but
338
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,900
then I remember and I try to
think back to primary school and
339
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,700
I don't remember a lot of stuff
if I'm perfectly honest, and
340
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:16,000
it's really weird to think Look
how much we think we're
341
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:17,400
affecting these children's
lives?
342
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,800
And we are we're like giving
them developing them in certain
343
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200
ways in motion the education in
and it all like kind of
344
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,400
compounds it where they remember
it or not.
345
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:27,100
But it is really interesting to
me to think back to what I
346
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,700
actually remember from primary
school because the things I
347
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:34,400
remember are the really like
emotional moments or something.
348
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,300
Where a teacher really helped me
to grasp something.
349
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:40,200
Or I was half or those trips,
those enrichment things, the the
350
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,700
fun, the stuff that we're so
scared about that.
351
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:44,600
We're losing so much from
education, right?
352
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:47,500
Out that they're the things I
really, really remember.
353
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,600
Like I remember so vividly and I
don't know.
354
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Lots of people, our age will
remember this as well.
355
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:57,500
We had a school trip and it was
arranged and we are would have
356
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,900
been in year for I think it was
a school trip to the Natural
357
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,400
History Museum.
Firstly, what?
358
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000
A peak trip to go on, like
unbelievable.
359
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,700
When you're in here for walking
in and seeing I know it's a
360
00:16:07,708 --> 00:16:10,300
whale now but it used to be a
massive dinosaur like that was
361
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,000
such an or inspiring moment,
like, but that's not even the
362
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,200
point.
I'm making the thing.
363
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,300
I remember, I'm more than
anything from that day.
364
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,200
It was the World Cup.
The 2002 World Cup.
365
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:21,600
It was in Japan.
I think, or South Korea, Japan,
366
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,700
and South Korea.
England were playing Brazil.
367
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,300
And we went into school early
because we were getting a coach.
368
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:30,000
And we watched the first half in
the hall and you see all those
369
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,200
means online of that television
being rolled in, you know, the
370
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,700
VHS Anthony who yes, literally
what happened.
371
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,400
And I remember.
So vividly, we watch the first
372
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,200
half and I was a member because
I think was Michael Owen who
373
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800
scored and it therefore went
crazy.
374
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,900
It was like the biggest Spring
in the world.
375
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:47,900
And then Brazil equalised.
We had to go, though.
376
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,800
We had to go on the coach and we
were devastated.
377
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Were gutted, because obviously,
obsessed with football then, and
378
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,700
we went on to the coach and I
always remember my teacher, my
379
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,100
PE teacher at the time he was
training as well just to become
380
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:03,000
a teacher funnily enough.
This is the same person from our
381
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,400
bungo story from our second
podcast.
382
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,700
He was my teacher as I am that
working with him.
383
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:12,099
Anyway, he had like a really
state-of-the-art handheld TV
384
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,500
thing had this huge antenna
coming out of it too.
385
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,700
Receive like the signal of the
television and this tiny, tiny
386
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,000
screen.
And he was sat on the coach
387
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,200
watching the game and the whole
coach was side at like staring
388
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,300
at him, like, waiting for him to
say something and then, and then
389
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:29,900
Brazil scored and Brazil won.
And we were just like, oh, and I
390
00:17:29,908 --> 00:17:32,800
remember because we got off the
coach and obviously went to, we
391
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,900
went to the Natural History
Museum.
392
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,900
We had a bit of a walk once we
got on the coach and this car
393
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:42,100
drove past waving this massive
Brazil flag, and but, but, but
394
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,800
it's so vivid those memories and
It links in with everything,
395
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,500
that everything fun trip.
You do those big projects.
396
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,900
I did a project on space, like,
it just like blew my mind
397
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,600
because I could just, we spent
weeks just researching what we
398
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,700
wanted to look up.
And I found it so fat.
399
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:02,200
I learnt so much and that's what
I think sometimes is slightly
400
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,700
concerning maybe from our point
of view is that we are losing
401
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,800
maybe a lot of that is the first
thing to go, especially post
402
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,800
covid.
Yeah.
403
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,000
And I wonder why as well.
I often think is you know what?
404
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,600
Firstly is that true?
Is it?
405
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,600
Across all the schools, you
know, the country that we're
406
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,400
losing that or is it just a kind
of localized experience and,
407
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,200
and, secondly, sort of why is
it?
408
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,800
Do you think because of the
pressures, perhaps of, of the
409
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,100
curriculum nowadays, we're
leaving it.
410
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,700
But you're right there, I'm just
going to jump on like thinking
411
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:30,000
about like just reminiscent of
it because I was trying to
412
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,700
think.
Can I remember a single time in
413
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,200
my entire primary school
experience, where I was doing
414
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,900
work in a book?
And I honestly can't, I was
415
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,200
trying so hard to think of a
memory that I have.
416
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,300
And the only things I remember
about actual lesson time, One
417
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600
making a World War Two booklet
then.
418
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,500
Yes it is.
I remember doing it because I
419
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,400
got I to actually spend a really
good amount of time doing all
420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,400
the illustrations and make it.
I loved it.
421
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400
I really don't like the planets.
The planets thing I spoke about.
422
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,300
I remember an acrostic poem down
the side.
423
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,300
Yeah, I did that as a title page
for every single planet and I
424
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,400
remember doing it, I love it, if
it's fun.
425
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:07,600
I also remember the classic
lesson of electricity where we
426
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,200
got all of the crocodile Clips
out and the bulbs and stuff, you
427
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,400
know, each and I just I remember
I want to just get them all.
428
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,000
I'll super inspired by it, and I
wanted All of them.
429
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
I was like I was thinking, I
wonder if after school I could
430
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
stay and maybe I could get all
of the crocodile clips and other
431
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,200
stuff.
And I can make this massive
432
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,800
circuit, and I was imagining
him.
433
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,600
I didn't remember this silly
irrational thought I was like,
434
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,400
imagining this like floating
ball of crocodile Clips, right?
435
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Made this crazy.
Can, like, Contraption out of
436
00:19:29,608 --> 00:19:32,300
electricity, but like it, even
though it was nonsense, it
437
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:34,800
didn't matter because I loved
it.
438
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,000
And I couldn't have wanted to be
there anymore, but I don't
439
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,900
remember a single English
lesson.
440
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,200
I don't remember a single Mass
Essen.
441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,000
I honestly, just don't, and I
loved maths as well.
442
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600
I don't remember sitting there
and Doing things.
443
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,700
I just have those memories of
like special moments.
444
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,200
Another one, for example, was
when we got a new library, my
445
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000
primary school, we didn't really
have a proper library and they
446
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,200
built in this like upstairs part
to the corridor because it's a
447
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,100
really tall Corridor.
They managed to.
448
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,500
It's basically like yeah this is
really cool.
449
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,400
They just built in this whole
Landing part and it was a nice
450
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,800
balcony.
Almost yeah, that's exactly what
451
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,600
it was.
Is like an indoor balcony but
452
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800
really themed it was quite like
low lighting but like jungle
453
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,000
theme and I just remember being
And I wasn't really a big reader
454
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,400
then but that that maybe want to
go and read.
455
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,200
I wanted to go and sit in there
because it was awesome.
456
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,200
Looking.
Yeah, it's just funny, isn't it?
457
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,000
How, and I just reflect on my
own practice now and I think,
458
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,300
yeah, definitely, what am I
doing?
459
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,100
That's the thing because I think
it's really though really
460
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:36,300
important point to make that
just because we can't remember
461
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:38,900
those English and maths lessons.
Clearly, they were building on
462
00:20:38,908 --> 00:20:41,100
each other, clearly.
Those small steps were like,
463
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,800
helping us to make progress and
it's all really important and
464
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,200
it's not just a simple case.
Of obesity while I remember
465
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,100
this.
So it's good.
466
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,700
And I don't remember that.
So we class of course, but but
467
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,900
there, but there is still such a
powerful thing to say, the
468
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:56,500
anything I remembrance stands
out from school like you're
469
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:59,500
saying your new library.
I remember the day.
470
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:02,000
Our school got a computers
computer, sweet just be one
471
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,300
computer in each classroom.
Then we've got our computer,
472
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,000
sweet.
I remember the day that our
473
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,500
teacher told us guys, and they
even said this, like I that they
474
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:10,400
must have just been being
honest.
475
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,600
I like, guys, we've got some
funding, we've got some money.
476
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,400
I don't know whether it was from
vouchers or what.
477
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,300
But, we've got some money for
new playground equipment, and
478
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:19,900
they let us look through the
booklets, look, through the
479
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:21,500
things and say, what kind of
stuff we want?
480
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:23,800
I remember that.
And then it got delivered to the
481
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,200
school.
And I was like, there was this
482
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,700
space operas, you can stand on
and I was still it's and it was
483
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:29,800
like, the best thing that could
ever happen.
484
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,300
And, and I just feel like in the
grand scheme of, like, the cost
485
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,600
of stuff.
These, these small moments for
486
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,300
our children are just Priceless,
aren't they?
487
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,000
Because you don't know.
You can never tell what every
488
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800
child's getting outside of
school, and I just think as a
489
00:21:42,808 --> 00:21:46,800
society and as a country, As a
government as it has a group of
490
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,600
teachers, there's such value
empowering money into our kids.
491
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,300
Whether it's these resources,
these special days, these
492
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:56,300
amazing things that I remember
for the rest of their lives
493
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,400
School.
Dinners, like why can't we feed
494
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800
our kids properly?
Why is that even a political
495
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,000
question that the nutrition of
our next generation is in
496
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
question.
I don't understand it.
497
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,500
Yeah.
Now you're absolutely right.
498
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:11,100
We should be prioritizing these
things going outside.
499
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:15,000
Is one thing that in my teaching
practice I've always Ways are
500
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,300
periodically anyway,
particularly when it gets nice
501
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,800
and sunny in the year, right?
I reflect back to times when I
502
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,700
was a kid where I loved it.
When I teach it, took us outside
503
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,900
to go and do some like
observational drawing or
504
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:30,700
something that I just enjoyed so
much and I'll have these moments
505
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,600
like maybe weeks or months in
the year.
506
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,100
I'm like it's nice outside what
can I do to get my kids outside?
507
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,300
And I'll think I'll try and
change my lesson so that we can
508
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,600
go outside and do it or we can,
you know, take the learning
509
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,800
outside because I just know that
they'll enjoy that thoroughly
510
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,300
compared to whatever.
That plan that day and I'll just
511
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,000
try to get out as much as
possible when I think more and
512
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,400
more about Primary School, such
a big part of it as well.
513
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Which makes sense now because it
is such a big part of school
514
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,600
life so I can see why.
But for me personally was the
515
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,700
whole sport acts aspect, that
that was that was a huge you
516
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:06,700
know the feeling of your teacher
saying to you at 2:50 guys you
517
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,300
can go and get changed.
You've got a football match
518
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:10,400
after school.
The feeling of standing up out
519
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,000
of your chair and walking out as
everyone else.
520
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,500
Finishes their work is the best
feeling in the world.
521
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Ugh.
Yeah, sorry guys.
522
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,800
I was gonna go grab my shin pads
because I'm getting changed for
523
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,900
a football game.
I'm a pro and I'll always
524
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,700
remember.
Yeah, I'll always remember this
525
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,800
one game because it's hilarious,
looking back, but in the moment,
526
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,800
I felt so accomplished.
Right?
527
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,600
So I'll tell you, the reason why
I felt accomplished, then I'll
528
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,100
give you the context as to why
it's hilarious.
529
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,700
So, I played a game.
It was my first game for the
530
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:38,100
school because I was quite late
in terms of getting into sports
531
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,200
and football.
So, as we said, previously, I
532
00:23:40,208 --> 00:23:41,900
don't have, I mentioned this,
but I am from the north.
533
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,500
So, I moved down here and I
joined a new school as we said,
534
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,100
Yes, Ray and it's probably if or
when I played my first game for
535
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,800
the school because only in year
3 when I moved down here that I
536
00:23:50,808 --> 00:23:52,500
actually get into football
properly, right?
537
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,500
So I got into the team.
My first ever game, it was a
538
00:23:55,508 --> 00:23:58,600
friendly with another school was
away so we drove the minivan
539
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,400
over there.
Most exciting day of my life
540
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,700
ever.
I started the game up front.
541
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600
I scored a goal.
First goal ever scored, ever in
542
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,300
any competition playing football
at any point.
543
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:13,900
And I remember on the, on the
wall at school are sports coach
544
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:15,000
the same.
When I mentioned, Earlier, I
545
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800
would always put up a sheet of
paper with whoever played, you
546
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,400
know, the team list for the
whole school to see who scored
547
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,700
my name was there.
And it said at the bottom, man
548
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:28,300
of the match and it was my name
as well as on the window and
549
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,700
it's the best feeling ever.
But what's absolutely hilarious
550
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,300
looking back is that it was the
beating.
551
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,100
So I was paying for the beating,
not even the 18.
552
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600
The second thing was we lost 11
1 plus 11 one, that's what I
553
00:24:38,608 --> 00:24:40,100
scored.
The only goal of the match from
554
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:44,300
my team not of the actual home
and we lost the game with you
555
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:46,100
still, Out good.
And that, that makes me just
556
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:48,600
think, oh, maybe I.
Maybe I need to put more time
557
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,300
into those moments because it's
so easy to overlook them now.
558
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,300
Isn't it as adults?
And there's a million other
559
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,600
things to think about to forget
that.
560
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Yeah.
It might be a little thing for
561
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,600
us and like, really are better
paper now you just be so easy,
562
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,500
wouldn't it just not print that
bit of paper because you got
563
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,700
something else to do.
But for that, for that kid for
564
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:07,700
you, little you that even though
you lost seeing your name next,
565
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:09,600
to man of the match, I'm
probably some like Microsoft
566
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Word or even just handwritten
piece of paper, then.
567
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Yeah, it was, it was.
All right.
568
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,300
It was a word doc nothing fancy.
But it It doesn't matter.
569
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:19,400
It doesn't matter because I'm 29
and I'm sat here now, talking
570
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,800
about it.
How crazy is that?
571
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,100
That decision of that teacher,
I'll always be great, you know,
572
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,300
because because that teacher, I
know always puts the kids first
573
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,900
every single decision they make
because I worked with this
574
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:33,100
teacher for a bit as well, when
I'm every single decision at the
575
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:36,900
Forefront of his mind was houses
benefiting the children, what
576
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:41,100
the children getting out of it.
And I think it can so quickly
577
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,500
become lost sometimes and yeah,
I'm guilty of it.
578
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,700
To where you see a curriculum in
front of you, you feel the
579
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:49,300
pressure of delivering the
curriculum, you are under
580
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:53,500
pressure to do X, Y Zed, but
when we strip it back, what's
581
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,000
going to have the most impact on
the children?
582
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,400
It's them feeling special, it's
them feeling loved.
583
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000
It's them feeling appreciated
and it's those huge.
584
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,900
Wow moments that actually I
think more and more I need to
585
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,300
make sure that I continue doing
as I go through the profession
586
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,000
and not get ground down by it.
And actually when I look at an
587
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,700
afternoon lesson and it's DT and
we're building these huge
588
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:13,700
structures, it's not a bad
thing.
589
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,500
It's something.
In that, I'm going to actually
590
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:16,800
reddish now, because I'm so
cool.
591
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,700
This child.
And they're 25 might look back
592
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:20,900
and go.
How do you remember when we made
593
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:23,600
a dome in our classroom and it
was huge.
594
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,400
Yeah, I'd be teaching was really
stressed.
595
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,300
We had a great day and I think
it just that's true.
596
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,200
Isn't it stress?
The stress levels of doing those
597
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,000
kind of things can be huge,
which I think highlights the
598
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,600
kind of fundamental issue.
I'm not going to talk about it
599
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,700
much because we did talk about
analyzed episodes I go and check
600
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:41,000
that out if you want to.
I've just there's too many jobs
601
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,400
too little time.
So when I can understand
602
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,400
literally from first time,
Parents as well.
603
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:48,600
When you are when you get on a
Monday or even on a Sunday
604
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,000
before you started your week.
And you can already see that
605
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
there are more hours of work to
do than you.
606
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,300
Then you're going to work the
next week already like your
607
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:58,400
timetable is already, completely
filled, plus more.
608
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:02,200
You can see why it's so tempting
to not print that little sheet
609
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:04,000
of that kid's name on it and put
it up on the wall.
610
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,400
You can see why that doesn't
happen.
611
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Perhaps as much now as it does,
when y lots of teachers reflect
612
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,300
on teaching, 20 years ago and
say, yeah, we used to do way
613
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:14,400
more of that stuff.
I can see that now.
614
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,000
Now, but I tell you what,
leading on from that.
615
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
But yeah, we've talked about
lessons and things you remember
616
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
from primary school, I'm sure
everyone listening has specific
617
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,100
things they remember.
But I tell you what, I do
618
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:29,400
remember and this this may be
like, hints as towards what kind
619
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,100
of people they were?
I remember every single teacher,
620
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,400
I remember every single teacher
that I had, I do from, when I
621
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,200
joined the school in year, 3
year 4 year, 5 year 6.
622
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000
And I remember when I trained to
become a teacher again not
623
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,400
again.
Sorry when I trained the first
624
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,700
time.
Become a teacher, you have to
625
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:48,600
spend a certain number of days,
you only ones that spend a
626
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,900
certain number of days just in a
school before you do anything.
627
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:52,900
That's very cool.
I can't read what they're
628
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,700
called.
They've got specific name, but
629
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,000
you have to do them.
You're not working.
630
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,600
You don't actually like doing
groups or anything like that.
631
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,100
You just in a school because I
think the point is you need to
632
00:28:02,108 --> 00:28:04,200
spend 10 days in a school, to
make sure actually it's the
633
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,200
environment for you and you're
sure you want to go for my
634
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,400
dissertation on that stuff.
Yeah.
635
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,100
It makes complete sense to
schools are very specific
636
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:11,900
environment.
So to say, you want to be a
637
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,400
teacher ever being in a school
would be a bit crazy.
638
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:16,800
Really, so it's good to go and
check it out and obviously I
639
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,700
reached out to my old school
because at that point so any
640
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:21,300
primary school, you know, as a
young man you don't know any
641
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,900
other primary schools other than
the one you went to.
642
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,300
And I think this is a common
theme having worked in primary
643
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,500
schools, the overwhelming joy
that one of their extra people
644
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,700
is is reaching out to them like
it's a really they love it and
645
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:36,700
having seen it kind of happened
in schools where in now it makes
646
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:39,000
sense because if one of my
children emailed me when they're
647
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,500
older and said all kind of come
into the score but I oh my gosh.
648
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,400
Yes and I had this moment
actually impair.
649
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:46,500
Evening this week, we had
Parents evening in our school.
650
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:50,200
Talking told my current classes
parents going really well,
651
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,700
having a chat, and then in one
of the, the downtime, one of my,
652
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,600
one of my pupils has a brother
who's in primary school, but
653
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800
she's gone.
Secondary school.
654
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,600
And she was my, one of my pupils
in the class that got shot
655
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,700
because of lockdown in March,
20, 20 in.
656
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,400
Yeah, and it was in year 5, so
she's in year eight or nine.
657
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Now, I think wherever it would
be but she's in secondary school
658
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,000
and she and her mom and her Her
brother and her dad,
659
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,200
specifically had came to my room
knowing that it was parents
660
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,500
evening.
Yeah, just to see me just for
661
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,300
her to see me and catch up and
it was so nice to see.
662
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,600
And actually just goes back to
what we said last week about
663
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,400
our, we play ourselves into
helping these children and you
664
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400
know, just just the fact they
came around to see me.
665
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
It sounds crazy but I was just
so it's thank you.
666
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,000
It's so nice to see you.
We had a little chat and the
667
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
classic you know, teenage
slightly awkward but clearly
668
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,700
wanted to come and say hi and it
was just really Nice to have to
669
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:47,800
see them and see how much
they've grown, but they kind of
670
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,600
Link's back to what they're
saying.
671
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,300
They're right about, you know,
teachers and the bond they make
672
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,200
it has an impact because I
remember them.
673
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,300
And I was so like overwhelmed,
not overwhelmed but Overjoyed to
674
00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:01,200
actually see them again because
they were nice to me.
675
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600
I remember like it because you
know I think just because you're
676
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200
a child, sometimes I think a lot
of adults might think are, you
677
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,600
know, it's treat them like
children.
678
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
It's fine by.
Remember them being nice to me.
679
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,600
I remember them going out of
their way to help me.
680
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,100
And when I saw them as an adult,
I was like Hello, it's so nice
681
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:17,900
to see you and they remember, do
you remember?
682
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,500
It's crazy eyes exactly the
same.
683
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:22,100
I went to I went to my primary
school when I did those or 10
684
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,100
days.
I ended up volunteering for
685
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:25,700
quite a bit actually before I go
into teaching.
686
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
And yeah, it was just such a
wonderful experience and I'm
687
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,900
really thankful actually,
because the lady who I was with
688
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:33,100

I'm not afraid to say her name
689
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,400

there and it confirms me I was
695
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,600
like, yeah cool.
This, what I want to do, I want
696
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000
to work with kids, they are
awesome, but but I could have
697
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,400
easily like looking, you know,
knowing being in the Korean
698
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,200
after eight years.
I could easily have just been
699
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,000
kind of bummed off.
As I was just volunteered.
700
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,300
I just we're busy were busy
busy, just put them over there.
701
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:02,200
Let make it get him to do some
backs and displays or something.
702
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,600
Just got me out the way, you
know, easily, but she didn't she
703
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400
was really lovely and, and gave
me lots of valuable experiences
704
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,500
with the children.
So I could really work out
705
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
whether I want to do this or not
so that was great.
706
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,500
Now I know that people listening

00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:57,000

and I think very quickly.
725
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
But lean on what you said.
I'm going to shout out my
726
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,100
teachers from primary school.

Yeah, sorry mrs.
Wood, well done, absolutely

cracking cracking teacher-led.
No introduced me to life in the
729
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,200
South and you know didn't make
me feel like an outsider mrs.
730
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,300
Walker year for always with a
guitar in hand she made.
731
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,200
I joined the choir not much of a
singer, but she believed in me
732
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,400
felt good.
It was in the choir, we won
733
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,200
stuff.
Excellent religion.
734
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,900
Always remember her.
Then a, why this sticks in my
735
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,400
head but she's playing the
guitar and she's going, she's
736
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
teaching us a song.
It was a him or something.
737
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:31,100
And she would say, the no of she
would say the name of the note
738
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:33,400
as she was playing the note
sometimes and it just always
739
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,800
thought of me her go dese us.
The I don't even know what that
740
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,600
means though.
But is it something to do music?
741
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,500
I don't know, but I remember it,
I remember is good.
742
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,200
They're doing is so mr.
Branton year five, John I

00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,600
I've grown when we had a good
week with fill up a jar of
745
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,600
marbles so the top we get a
tree.
746
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,100
We could watch mr.
Beam on the TV, that's a
747
00:32:52,108 --> 00:32:53,000
brilliant.
Watch mr.
748
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000

00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:59,400
Branton and yes six mr.
Letts mr.
751
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,900
Letts was the man who pushed me
and pushed me and pushed me
752
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:05,000
especially with math.
So I was a member because he
753
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,200
loved maths, I loved maths and I
remember you were saying you
754
00:33:08,208 --> 00:33:09,600
don't really remember doing much
work.
755
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:13,700
I remember doing working U6
because he would give me really
756
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:14,900
tricky mask.
Questions.
757
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,600
And it would always say, at the
bottom, as like, a little
758
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,600
challenge in the mass booklet,
it was called, let's
759
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,800
investigate.
And it was like this open ended
760
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,100
problem, right?
I remember doing them so much
761
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,200
because it was like, cool, wild
Ellen.
762
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
You can do everything.
So, let's investigate and I was
763
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,100
like, oh, let's investigate.
It was all about like, shakes.
764
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,900
And I remember something to
symmetry.
765
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,100
Yep.
And each teacher, I have such a
766
00:33:34,108 --> 00:33:36,100
specific memory of how they
were.
767
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,500
And if they ever do, listen to
this, I'm just going to say
768
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:41,400
thank you to them because you
had an impact, and you have any
769
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,000
impact that.
I hope I'm having now.
770
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,300
So, thanks.
I was just a And so all for
771
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,900
listeners right now, what you
need to do is go on social media
772
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:51,000
and just shout out.
Some shout out a teacher you
773
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,600

you because I tell you what,

off back then, shout Mount say
775
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,600

776
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,200
I'm going to shower at one of my
teachers won't go through all of
777
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,700
them.
One of my teachers year three
778
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,900
and year for she was Miss Dunn
thorn in your three.
779
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:04,100
She got married over the summer.
Came back as mrs.
780
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:07,000
Plankin and she bet she was
gutted when she saw you there
781
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,400
faster?
Yeah.
782
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,699
Oh man.
She was just such a lovely
783
00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:12,699
teacher.
I got on Facebook to answer for
784
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:13,900
you.
I've got a face, but now we're
785
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:15,600
adults here.
Every week, we cook up some
786
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,300
point later in life, and it was
great and just want to shout out
787
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:22,199
because she made a huge
difference to my charted and
788
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,400
maybe really love learning.
And that is when my lover lonely
789
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,100
kicked in.
I was around that time, I
790
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,800
realized I could do stuff.
And I worked really hard and
791
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,000
like you said she pushed me.
So yeah, yeah, big up that they
792
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,600
got the primary school teachers
that helped T.
793
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Reckon if we met these people
again, right in real life that
794
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,900
we'd regress 28 year old selves.
Hey Miss hey Miss, I'd like to
795
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:43,900
think so yeah.
Yeah, no.
796
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,800
Last night at the register for
you, please get what you want in
797
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,699
a pub.
Sorry.
798
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:51,000
Miss there is something about
seeing your old teachers.
799
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,900
There was no way you do.
You do naturally just it feels
800
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:54,800
weird calling the by that name,
I still wouldn't want to call
801
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,900
them both.
Oh, I don't like that.
802
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,400
Yeah, well, the thing is, as
well as we work in primary,
803
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,700
obviously, but obviously,
because we are older.
804
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,900
I have far more memories of
secondary as well, and this is
805
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:07,500
equivalent teachers there.
Maybe, maybe we do, you know,
806
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,900
teacher shout out of the week,
and we just think of a teacher,
807
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,800
that's, you know, influence
their lives for a bit and our
808
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,400
last forever eventually.
Hey, it's called being nice.
809
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,000
Okay.
Yeah because you know why don't
810
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,600
you I'm making this a thing.
So one day someone shouts me out
811
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,800
on a West Side, start the name
the wheels already so good luck.
812
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,500
Already ahead of myself there
then we're gonna defy teachers a
813
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:35,200
week.
Oh man.
814
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:40,800
Anyway 5th, 5th, every five
minutes, jitka duct, you up.
815
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:43,400
I really want to tell on the
flip side now and embarrassing
816
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,400
story.
I've done some other kind of
817
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,200
funny things and I guess a
hairpin is very interesting.
818
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,600
Yeah.
They have been welcomed a little
819
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,100
bit so that's amazing.
Like, that's just like Dopey
820
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:54,200
asking.
So silly like, what am I doing?
821
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,700
I do those.
Yeah, but this one's actually
822
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:57,300
embarrassing one of those
moments.
823
00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:58,300
That is a core.
Three.
824
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Because it will embarrass me to
my core literally, you know, I
825
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,400
mean, and I'll never forget that
and I'll never forget that after
826
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,500
the word Corrigan.
Yeah, I know.
827
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,900
And I like how you explain what
a core memory was by saying
828
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:08,800
Corrigan.
I definitely.
829
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Yeah, good.
That's what a good teacher does
830
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,800
explains a word with the same
word.
831
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,300
That's how you.
That's how you understand?
832
00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:15,100
Therefore, no, wonder, what do
you think it means?
833
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,000
Look at the root word.
They're obviously shit up,
834
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:21,100
right?
So I was in year 6.
835
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,200
It's actually really
embarrassing.
836
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,300
I feel embarrassed telling a
story so stupid.
837
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Six, I wasn't listened.
You were the football kid,
838
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,600
right?
You were like into the furball?
839
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:33,200
I couldn't have cared less about
football.
840
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,000
I was the one who'd I just want.
I just wanted to do maths and
841
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,600
draw stuff, and, but to try and
fit in.
842
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,700
I was also very conscious of
that I want I didn't want to be,
843
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:41,900
you know, separate everyone
else.
844
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,100
So I'd be like Michael Owen is
started kicking in but like I
845
00:36:47,107 --> 00:36:48,900
didn't know what was very
quickly come in.
846
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:50,600
Could I really quickly come in?
What?
847
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Because of the most hilarious
thing ever is you still say
848
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,100
Michael?
I know because it's because of
849
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,800
primers could experience, it's
become Email because I still
850
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,400
don't.
I'm not interested in football.
851
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,400
I might watch the World Cup,
that's about it.
852
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,900
But yeah, I still when I'm
joking around with you, I'm just
853
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:06,600
trying to take the mick out.
People that are getting really
854
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,400
into cook with my company.
I'm just like, yeah, Michael
855
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,600
Owen is good.
Is he always go to my fellowmen?
856
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,600
And that's because of my primary
school experiences anyway.
857
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,700
So I was like going to get.
Anyway, that's so the kind of
858
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:19,000
cool kids were in what I deemed
as the cool kids were all having
859
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
a chat and it was a group of
girls at this point was in the
860
00:37:21,008 --> 00:37:24,700
classroom, I remember it.
And for some reason I thought I
861
00:37:24,707 --> 00:37:27,300
was kind of around and maybe
sucked into the conversation.
862
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,400
And And one of the girls they
were clearly talking about like
863
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:33,100
you know, they're unisex, they
were they were growing older and
864
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:36,000
things were changing and I was
mostly been a bit nosy or
865
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,100
something and they said they
didn't have you started your
866
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:43,000
period.
I had no idea what they were
867
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,100
talking about but I didn't want
to sound uncool.
868
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,800
So what did I say?
I just I just blacked it and I
869
00:37:50,808 --> 00:37:55,900
was I yeah yeah, yeah.
And then they all laughed so
870
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:57,700
much of me like they found it
hilarious.
871
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,000
Like Aussie, just trying to trap
me.
872
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,500
This question.
I had no idea.
873
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:04,400
I took a gamble, I do want to be
uncool, and then they just rinse
874
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,900
me, and I would read as
anything.
875
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,900
And I just, you know, try to
play it off, classic thing.
876
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,700
I was most kids would laugh and
cry.
877
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,200
I'd be like, I take it on the
chin, but inside dying, you
878
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:15,500
know, of embarrassment.
And yeah, never forget that.
879
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,200
Never forget that, that taught
me a lesson there.
880
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,800
That's like the most extreme
version of when you don't hear
881
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,600
someone and you just guess.
Um, so yeah.
882
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:29,100
And your hope, you hope, A show.
What's the time?
883
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,000
What's the time?
Sorry?
884
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't hear
him saying?
885
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,100
Yeah, I'm on my period.
Yeah.
886
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,600
Started it in your six.
Thank you for that embarrassing.
887
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,000
But I wish they were like old
enough to kind of keep the choke
888
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
going further than one moment
and just try a kneecap yeah.
889
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,600
Fine actually it's fine.
Yeah, it keeps me on get me to
890
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,900
like go and show in town of on
the class that you just like,
891
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:54,000
completely embarrassed myself,
man.
892
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Well, it's funny.
You should say that because this
893
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,400
is another thing that kind of X
into my Teaching.
894
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,900
Right?
Because I kind of I sometimes
895
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,700
forget the kind of kid I was,
right?
896
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,700
Because I had a very like,
almost two very different
897
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,300
primers or experiences from when
before I moved house and down
898
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:12,900
here, too.
When I was up north, right,
899
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:16,300
because it was basically infant
school and set and Junior
900
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:17,100
School.
Yep.
901
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:20,800
So it beforehand.
So, after when we came down
902
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,700
here, like I said, I've got into
football, I would say how you
903
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:27,300
describe much more of a classic
lad, as much as I hate, that
904
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:28,300
kind of terminology.
Elegy.
905
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,000
But you know it into the
football sporty still very very
906
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,100
much into learning, absolutely
love learning but that was kind
907
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,100
of from when I was an infant
school because I was very very
908
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,700
awkward and I know you always
make this joke.
909
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,900
Very awkward as a child.
Yeah.
910
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:43,200
Okay.
Just um quite awkward in
911
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,600
general, you know that
especially in like new
912
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,000
situations with new people, I'm
very like a kind of compensate
913
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,200
for it sometimes trying to be
over-the-top and funnier than
914
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,600
that but like I am actually
awkward.
915
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,300
I definitely don't overthink
everything.
916
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,600
No no no definitely not
definitely don't think
917
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,600
everything waves from thinking.
Oh my In this, I need to say
918
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,000
something now us because they're
going to think.
919
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
I'm like, no, not me.
And you can tell, by the way I'm
920
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,400
rambling, this isn't definitely
not a representation.
921
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,500
What goes on in my head when I'm
with new people, definitely.
922
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,700
But anyway, before I move down,
I was that kid.
923
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:12,700
I was that kid who didn't want
to go outside?
924
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:14,900
Crippling like anxiety about
going outside because I have
925
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:18,300
like one or two friends maximum
and if they didn't want to play,
926
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,200
what I was playing.
I was the kind of kid who really
927
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200
struggled to find someone else
to play with, and we see that
928
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,700
now.
Don't worry, it's like, oh, but
929
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:26,200
they don't want to play with me
and I think as adults, sometimes
930
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,600
we can just like, oh, we'll find
someone else.
931
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:29,500
Like, but it was horrible for me
to do that.
932
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:31,400
I didn't want to just go and
find someone else, it wasn't as
933
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,400
easy as that for me, it was
actually really scary.
934
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,100
So I to be the kid who the
teachers would take time.
935
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,200
I don't remember these teachers
unfortunately, but there is a
936
00:40:39,207 --> 00:40:40,500
picture.
I'm going to dig it out and put
937
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:44,300
it on Instagram.
There is a picture because I was
938
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:47,000
obsessed with maths, right?
As a child.
939
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,600
As a young kid before I went to
school, I started learning my
940
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,300
times tables.
No, my addition facts.
941
00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:53,300
And it was just like my hobby
before I went to school.
942
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,200
Yeah.
So I kind of knew all like the
943
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,800
reception year one stuff just
because it's what I did.
944
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,900
My granddad.
He tests me out and we just do
945
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:02,800
that together, right?
So, I was quite, I was just a
946
00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:06,100
bit ahead on maps, basically,
and I would stay in it break
947
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:09,500
times and I do the registers for
the whole school and when I say
948
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:13,100
do the registers, what I mean
is, I would take all the paper
949
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:16,200
registers because they were back
then and I would work out the
950
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,200
percentages of their attendance,
though.
951
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,500
I preach kid.
Yeah.
952
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:22,600
So I'd be doing that for the
office, they'd obviously looking
953
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,100
back.
They clearly did it as well, but
954
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,400
they let me think I was doing
it.
955
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,800
Yeah, and I'll be working at the
percentage attendance reached
956
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:30,000
Each class and stuff.
And but they'd always find
957
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,800
something for me to do where I
didn't feel like a burden.
958
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,000
I didn't feel bad that I was in,
I felt like I was doing a job
959
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:37,800
for them.
Right?
960
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,900
So I felt like I was doing them
a favor and really how annoying
961
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,700
is that when you just want your
break time in the kid won't go
962
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,700
out and you're just like, oh,
but they did that and made me
963
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:50,100
not feel at all guilty for it.
Like, did it for me?
964
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,800
Let me do it.
Let me feel comfortable.
965
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,600
And also, I remember, I'd go on
and check the weather on the
966
00:41:55,607 --> 00:41:57,600
computer, and there was this,
like, whether game, I don't
967
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,800
know.
I've already Vivid memories of
968
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,000
the map and the Sun and the
rain.
969
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,200
I can't remember whether it was
like live update or not, because
970
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,100
it was like the 90s or whether
it was just like, you know, a
971
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:09,000
matching up game and you could
do it yourself.
972
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,600
But there's a picture of me, sat
at the computer, my chubby
973
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,700
cheeks.
My gray sweater I'm clicking
974
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,000
away.
Someone's always said look and I
975
00:42:15,008 --> 00:42:17,200
turn around.
There's a TA sat next to me.
976
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,400
Clearly wishes she was anywhere
else other than watching this
977
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,300
little kid, click on the map,
but it just again adds to that
978
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,200
kind of memory of doing that for
the kids.
979
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,400
Is beneficial to them.
Even if they don't exactly
980
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,300
remember it, but I know it
happened and that helped me
981
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:35,800
socially in a roundabout way too
much.
982
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,600
All we needs to go out and play
with his friends will actually
983
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,900
know in that moment that caused
me, huge anxiety.
984
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:41,400
So this was the best thing you
could do for me.
985
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,000
And I gradually learned to get
about it in a different way.
986
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:47,700
And I just so grateful and
meanwhile in my school while she
987
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:50,700
was doing this, I was also
staying in break times making an
988
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:55,100
entire book of Digimon
characters so you can see why
989
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,000
later in life.
We just found each other The
990
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
friends, you know, those two
kids, we probably would have
991
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,300
been friends at school, maybe we
wouldn't have, could you be sat
992
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:03,700
there?
Checking the weather and I'd be
993
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:08,500
too busy drawing Digimon.
Well, here's the funny thing.
994
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,900
It's quite sunny day today.
Most people are out, teachers,
995
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:12,500
other day off.
We're starting to us.
996
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:15,700
Let's do our podcast and look at
the data afterwards.
997
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:17,600
Yeah, yeah, you're obsessed with
the data.
998
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,600
Dylan message me every day.
He's like, no everyone, Melissa
999
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,500
ne1 - Tyler.
Okay.
1000
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:23,400
Fair enough.
Although you're exaggerating.
1001
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,100
I do.
I am obsessed with the data, its
1002
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:26,400
interests.
I like it.
1003
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Okay, listen.
This is Six year old Dylan
1004
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,800
working at percentage attendance
for the people coming through,
1005
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,300
on the podcast.
Okay, I'm working at the
1006
00:43:32,308 --> 00:43:35,100
percentage retention cable,
isn't there?
1007
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:37,900
Like shut up, stop talking.
If three out of the four
1008
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:40,000
listeners, listen what
percentage of listeners to we
1009
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,900
have listening?
Oh well that's all they'll have
1010
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,300
to write into us all to of.
Come on.
1011
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,000
That was for you.
Ok, its for the listeners now
1012
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,500
that challenge.
Oh okay.
1013
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Yeah, I can't possibly work that
out there so no way because this
1014
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,500
is a percentage.
We don't do that for me school
1015
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,600
too hard.
Do you you know the memes that
1016
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,300
you see online of primary
school?
1017
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,100
And I find them so funny because
they're still true.
1018
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:05,700
Yeah, they are still true.
But we started off last week
1019
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,000
with the whole paper towel
thing, right?
1020
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:10,900
Can confirm that?
That Stella thing like if a
1021
00:44:10,908 --> 00:44:13,700
child has a graze, it just the
psychological trick to them to.
1022
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:16,700
I'll just put a wet paper towel
on it and it didn't work of the
1023
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,400
time.
The only thing I will say is we
1024
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,600
have kind of upgraded.
Help me with like, bumps and
1025
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,300
stuff.
We have ice packs now in the
1026
00:44:22,308 --> 00:44:23,300
fridge.
That's true.
1027
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:24,500
They're still there.
Still blue.
1028
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:27,200
They still blue.
There's so many of those memes
1029
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,600
are actually so true.
Still aren't they can I name a
1030
00:44:29,607 --> 00:44:31,100
couple of them?
I get the listeners to ya.
1031
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:33,300
Think about this, right?
So you can close your eyes, take
1032
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:35,200
yourself back to Primus car,
tell you, what is still in our
1033
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,400
schools right now, every single
School across the country.
1034
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,100
You remember them.
Ready number one, little wooden
1035
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:43,100
benches with hooks on the end
that.
1036
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:46,500
Yes, and also used for PE you
turn upside down, sometimes walk
1037
00:44:46,500 --> 00:44:48,500
along the thin end, they're
still there.
1038
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,200
They're around, same ones as
well.
1039
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,300
They've not there us, they are
built so, solid, I've not
1040
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:54,400
changed number two, another
piece.
1041
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Thing, the Big Wall Equipment
came out ever in the 2000s.
1042
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,900
Every school ever had the
funding to do this, big Wall
1043
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:03,300
Equipment, you pull it out, best
bit about them is most schools
1044
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:04,800
don't ever use them.
They're just this beautiful
1045
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,700
furniture for the first is to
see if you get them out there.
1046
00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:10,500
Real treat and one more thing
for you just for some reason I
1047
00:45:10,508 --> 00:45:14,100
think of this in a bit obscure.
Multicolored beanbags.
1048
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,100
Just they're still there.
We still use them, they're still
1049
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:19,900
at the dish.
The say again that they must be
1050
00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:21,500
the same ones.
They don't get report.
1051
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,500
I've got one more forever.
Go on one more.
1052
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:26,400
The rainbow tarpaulin the big
Rain?
1053
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,300
Go sir.
Yeah, he's still the same
1054
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,000
basically.
Just time the 90s when school
1055
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,600
got funding, we're still
grappling onto all that stuff we
1056
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,500
bought.
Then we are like clinging on to
1057
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:39,000
like oh my God.
You remember when you're at
1058
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,900
school and remember remember
really vividly?
1059
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:44,100
Obviously all of those beautiful
Displays the teachers put time
1060
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:46,400
up for doing cool.
Us neither, but we still have to
1061
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,200
do them all the time.
They look exactly the same.
1062
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,400
They still take up so much time.
They look honestly, the same
1063
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,500
bourdette.
That little little wavy thing
1064
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,700
colored background, still there.
The classrooms, just let the
1065
00:45:56,700 --> 00:46:00,100
same.
Just does anyone this thing?
1066
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:05,200
Remember one single classroom
display because if you don't if
1067
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,600
you don't let us know if you do
keep it to yourself.
1068
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Yeah.
I feel bad now.
1069
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Any one listen to this upper
slopes assignments at this
1070
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,300
place?
I'm sure your kids do.
1071
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:18,600
Look at them, I do.
Yeah, I'm sure they did notice
1072
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,800
that many fuel.
If you're watching the real you
1073
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,100
can definitely see my opinion.
Is that they absolutely will.
1074
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:28,200
Remember all that hard work you
put into those this space that.
1075
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,500
Yeah.
Well, they will remember it.
1076
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,500
Hmm, all of it.
Anyway, let's move on.
1077
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,500
Okay, everyone will it just
before we finish up, because we
1078
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:40,700
are going to do a short one this
week for the stories.
1079
00:46:40,700 --> 00:46:42,700
Obviously, if you guys,
hopefully, you enjoyed those
1080
00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:45,600
Thing and like hating said, do
get in touch with us and I just
1081
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,500
want to ask one more time as I
always do and I've been laying
1082
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,100
off it lately.
I've been a good boy but your
1083
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:55,300
reviews go so far for us on our
streaming platform, special on
1084
00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:57,500
Spotify, really building up
those five star reviews.
1085
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:00,700
So if you could review, if you
could follow, if you could hit
1086
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:03,700
their notification Bell, you'll
get notified as soon as new
1087
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:06,100
episodes drop.
And I'll be as simple as
1088
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,700
clicking on a button to listen
to our latest episode.
1089
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:13,000
I think that was a really nice
episode head and I know We come
1090
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,500
back to our Roots here.
Slightly shorter one, but I
1091
00:47:15,508 --> 00:47:18,600
think it's to the point and I
think it's nice to reflect every
1092
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,600
now and then, isn't it on the
kind of impact we're having a
1093
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,000
teacher's.
It is very important, I think in
1094
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,200
our jobs to do that because it
has definitely made me think
1095
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,300
again, it's rooted me back down
to what I liked, what I love
1096
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,200
about this job.
And what I enjoyed as a kid,
1097
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,700
which does quite often, or at
least, it used to a lot Inspire.
1098
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,400
The kind of things I do at
school, and I need the
1099
00:47:36,408 --> 00:47:38,900
inspiration again.
I'll, I will now go away and I
1100
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:41,500
genuinely reckon, I'll probably
do a few things now in the next
1101
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:43,700
couple of months.
Maybe I wouldn't Plan before,
1102
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:46,600
but because I'm thinking about
it again, just making special
1103
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,700
moments for the children and
maybe trying to get outside a
1104
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:51,200
bit more or go and do something
that really enjoyable, really
1105
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,800
memorable.
So, yeah, I'm glad we had this
1106
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,100
discussion, and it's made me
feel good.
1107
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:57,500
I'm going to finish this day
now, feeling quite positive and
1108
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,900
that's good.
Happy memories really positive.
1109
00:47:59,900 --> 00:48:03,200
And one other thing, this was
our 10th episode.
1110
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,600
By the way, I know it's like,
you know, it's not the 50th,
1111
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,700
it's not a hundreth, but it's a
big deal for us.

That we have this core listener
base and its really, really

00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,100
strong.
Now we all know we joke about

00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:20,700

1127
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,000
And hopefully this week which
was jam-packed just with stories
1128
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,500
and anecdotes and how Hayden got
bald, which is what we've all
1129
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:56,400
been waiting for all this time.
They're all.
1130
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,000
I'll say before we do finish up
Hayden is that we still haven't
1131
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,900
heard this.
Pretty stick story is becoming a
1132
00:49:01,908 --> 00:49:04,100
bit of a thing.
Now, when we go to save feature,
1133
00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:05,300
when are we going to admit it to
them?
1134
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,700
I was just going to admit what?
Well, you know, I don't say it
1135
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:11,100
when we could wait one second.
One second.
1136
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:14,200
Post to pause the podcast was,
like, last viewport unpaused.
1137
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,300
Yeah, it's not anymore.
What he did.
1138
00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:17,600
I can't tell them.
There's no Prince viktor's.
1139
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,000
Listen, we've got a problem
because people are remembering,
1140
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,000
we've ignored it on purpose, for
a cup of episodes now.
1141
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:24,600
But people are asking again,
what about that?
1142
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,500
Precinct story.
We don't have one Dylan.
1143
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:28,700
We don't have one.
No, we what we did?
1144
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:31,100
We just do you've played this
off for so many episodes and we
1145
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:32,300
don't even have one what we
gonna do.
1146
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:34,600
There's some, there's some
that's a problem for our future
1147
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,400
Cellar.
Let's play Say let's press play

00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,900
Pause there.
We were just having a drink, the
1153
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:49,900
Princeton stories coming up.
It's epic.
1154
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:52,400
It is a sweet story.
I can't honestly.
1155
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,400
Dylan, can't wait to tell it to
you because it's mainly based on
1156
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:58,100
his experiences.
So, listen in the future because
1157
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:00,400
this story is going to be
awesome.
1158
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,500
Bye guys.

00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,600
Dylan.

00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,300
What is the Easter holidays?

9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:36,700
weeks of lessons to plan for
maths English and the afternoon
10
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,700
subjects Anastasia and you've
barely even touched last term's
11
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:49,700
marking, Hello everyone.
Welcome back to another episode
12
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,100
of teach sleep.
Repeat, my name is Dylan and my
13
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:56,400
name is Hayden.
And this is the big one episode
14
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:58,400
10.
We are celebrating our 10th
15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,200
week.
Hey, Dan.
16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,600
How's it feel?
Double-digit?
17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,300
Say that's pretty cool.
I didn't think we'd make it past
18
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:04,599
about 34.
Want to serve you.
19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,800
So always a bonus, you know,
we're still here.
20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Why is that?
I know, I just thought we'd get
21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,300
bored.
No one's listening.
22
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,200
But we've got like, we got tons
of listeners.
23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,900
Now, Dylan tongue guy, 10
listeners.
24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,500
Like that's like, yeah, so many
listeners.
25
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,700
Okay, so we're here.
We're carrying on and I think
26
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:19,900
we're planning to keep going.
As far as I'm aware.
27
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:21,100
Yeah.
Why not?
28
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:23,700
Why not, I was thinking of maybe
replacing you, but I haven't
29
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,600
told you yet but I'm down to
that when we get there any a
30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,000
lesson and no not yet.
But I did do a poll last week
31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,800
and again people are Keen
something we need to get on
32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Hayden is just sorting out a
guest to come on.
33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,900
The only thing is if a guest
comes on it's just a
34
00:01:36,908 --> 00:01:38,800
practicalities of it, isn't it?
Had we need to get so you know
35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
someone's might get them all
ready make sure the internet's
36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,300
all good but it should be
something we can achieve and you
37
00:01:43,308 --> 00:01:45,300
guys want it.
So we're going to find a really
38
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:48,600
good guest to begin with.
I was thinking Boris truss.
39
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,900
What do you think?
Yeah, yeah.
40
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,500
I've I've heard he's a fan
favorite from our last episode
41
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:58,300
so yeah, absolutely.
Anyway it is halftime.
42
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:01,400
And I remember last time we did
a podcast in half time, we spoke
43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,700
about what been up to.
It's only just started, but even
44
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,900
up to much yet Hayden.
I've not been up two loads to
45
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:10,000
most of you.
I've had a fairly relaxing start
46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
to the half term because I've
got a bit more coming up later
47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,700
on this week.
So I've got a stag do this
48
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,400
weekend or which I've been in
charge of planning.
49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Which always just adds on that
extra bit of pressure, you know,
50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,200
like, I hope it's a good.
I hope it's fun.
51
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:24,000
You can say, you can say it, we
all know what it means, if
52
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,400
someone's in charge of planning
a stag.
53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,600
Do what's your official Rogers
almost on the best?
54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,300
Man?
And the best man, so I can
55
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:36,100
actually tell you what it is
even though it obviously,
56
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,100
recording this few days before
this will come out in the day
57
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,500
over there so it's all good.
So for our stag do, we're going
58
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,300
up to the Lake District?
And we're doing Gorge walking
59
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:46,100
which involves just generally
climbing things, jumping in
60
00:02:46,100 --> 00:02:49,100
water and Having a having a
blast too much for you but bit
61
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:54,100
of Interest day, however, I am
excited for it but I was a
62
00:02:54,108 --> 00:02:57,400
little bit worried today but
yesterday in fact, because I
63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,100
went out the front of my house
to just sweep up my driveway a
64
00:03:00,108 --> 00:03:02,600
bit right?
And I was exhausted.
65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,300
Afterwards honest, I like my
legs hurt and I was like oh,
66
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,900
he's sweeping for you know,
three minutes.
67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Okay, I'm going to be climbing.
This is gorgeous for six hours,
68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,500
right?
Yeah.
69
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:16,000
Bit worried.
You know I'm going to say, don't
70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,500
you?
Go on.
71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400
We went out for lunch.
The day and we had to walk up.
72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,900
What was genuinely genuinely.
Like, like, honestly 20 meters
73
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:27,200
of a hill and we got to the top.
And I told you, and I said,
74
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,800
please tell me you're sorry, I
can't even finish the sentence
75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
because I was breathing so much
from the tiny Hill there.
76
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:36,600
Because you literally said, I
really say that.
77
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,800
I'll tell you when we're inside
God, no, yes, it's bit.
78
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,700
Embarrassing, really, we need to
sort ourselves out, Dylan.
79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,600
You know, you're nearly 30, I'm
30 we go, we can't do this
80
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,500
declining in.
Physical health, but you know
81
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:49,500
what?
Okay, that's okay, them for
82
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,000
future us.
How was your week?
83
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,100
Yeah, I do, it's been fine.
It's like you said, I've
84
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,100
definitely had a day or two.
I don't know about everyone else
85
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,200
this into this, especially if
their teachers, but the end of
86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,700
term for I just feel like
everything kind of culminates,
87
00:04:04,700 --> 00:04:07,600
you know, you tend to start
thinking about reports, you tend
88
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,900
to have parents evening to go to
you just kind of becoming
89
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:12,900
fatigued, right?
And the two-week break comes at,
90
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,200
such, a good point.
So, I've definitely been been
91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
lounging around a bit, which is
much needed.
92
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,600
But, Also, find, you know, I'm
very much like we said before,
93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,900
Sunday's, like, admin days when
you're a teacher, because
94
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:24,900
Saturday, you end up doing a bit
of work Sunday.
95
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:27,200
Maybe you work a bit, but you
just got to get like even just
96
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,700
as an adult Sunday's just
turning to the day, where you
97
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:31,500
get your washing done, you have
to go shopping.
98
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,300
Just a really boring day that if
you had to tell my 10 year, old
99
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,100
self that had to be dragged away
from my connects and my Bernard
100
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,300
Bionicles, they'd be devastated
but the really boring adult day.
101
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:44,500
So what I found is half terms
tend to be an extreme version of
102
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,300
that.
So the last couple days.
103
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:49,000
I feel like I've done nothing
but But boring stuff, but it's
104
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,100
good because like you I'm
getting ready for stuff later in
105
00:04:51,108 --> 00:04:53,400
the future.
So I've come run mine, beginner
106
00:04:55,300 --> 00:05:00,900
a foreign company, but did go to
yours with them yesterday.
107
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,400
That's not what I was talking
about, it definitely was.
108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But now I've been doing lots of,
you know, solicitor paperwork
109
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,100
when the process of trying to
sell the house that took out.
110
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,800
It's just so straight anyone
who's moved house, like I wish
111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,200
someone just told me beforehand,
like what an absolute stress is.
112
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,900
Little things like updating my
contract on my phone, you know,
113
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,300
all those tiny jobs which just
kind of wait until you've got
114
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:24,700
headspace to do you leave him
alone.
115
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,600
He's doing your 12 hour days.
Yeah, exactly.
116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,700
So all the important things I'm
sure next week on the podcast
117
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:31,400
we'll talk about much more
exciting stuff because we got
118
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800
family coming to visit with so
excited, I little niece is
119
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,200
coming to visit.
So what we've just been doing,
120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800
they're actually just now before
this podcast, we recorded we
121
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,900
went out just to get some stuff
because when she comes over,
122
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:44,400
she's from America, they live in
America.
123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,700
So we've not seen that much.
She was born in China, aah in
124
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,900
the height of covid.
So very, very, very hard to have
125
00:05:50,907 --> 00:05:53,000
ever seen her.
I've never met her myself.
126
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,700
So, I'm meeting her for the
first time and what we were
127
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:58,000
doing was just then we went out
and we bought her just some bits
128
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,600
to have when she gets here last
night and we obviously just
129
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,900
getting a bit overexcited.
A very, very looking forward to
130
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:04,400
seeing her because she likes Paw
Patrol.
131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,900
She likes Disney.
So he went to the card shop and
132
00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:08,500
I'm sure everyone knows those
huge balloons.
133
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,300
You can get.
Yeah, but they kind of blow up
134
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,000
for you.
And there was a huge, Paw
135
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,400
Patrol, 10, and a, My Little
Pony one, cause she really likes
136
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,800
that as well.
That's obviously where stood
137
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,400
there.
See.
138
00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:20,600
These tiny packs they're like 15
centimeters by 10 centimeters.
139
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,500
So, oh yes, let's get two of
them for her.
140
00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:25,400
Be so fun, obviously, forgetting
that they're about to be blown
141
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,100
up.
These are like one meter tall
142
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,300
genuinely or just dropped apps
that you shove them in the car.
143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,300
It was the most stressful
experience ever, I think.
144
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:34,200
Now we're going to pop but we
made it.
145
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,100
She's got two massive balloons
to have when she comes and I
146
00:06:37,108 --> 00:06:38,900
can't wait for her to just
ignore them when she gets.
147
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:42,400
Yeah every child does give you
three seconds of attention on
148
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,100
them and never look them again,
you're like okay I'll play of it
149
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:47,300
then.
Oh, was that the Kaaba?
150
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,800
Box.
It all came in are playing that
151
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,700
for four hours and pay downs but
in, but now it's been a, it's
152
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:56,900
been a very, what's the word
when you know, doing Adam, any
153
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:59,400
kind of job so far but I'm like
a dollar to it.
154
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,700
Yeah, I do.
It's just, it's just like,
155
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,700
obviously adults.
One more blank about this
156
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:05,700
because I feel growing up, you
just realize.
157
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,400
Oh, this is just what an adult
does we, you just have to do
158
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,500
loads of washing every single
week and go shopping every
159
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,800
single week and it's so boring
and I think it's okay to say
160
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,200
everyone listening to this is
going.
161
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,000
Yes, I know it's boring day.
Grow up when we grow until
162
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Injustice more boring listening
to you talking about it.
163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,900
So thanks.
That's what I was thinking right
164
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,400
now.
I think in brilliant everybody
165
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200
watching this lesson.
Dillon shut up.
166
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Give us the funny kid stories
from school.
167
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:33,300
That's what we live here last
episode.
168
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,000
And we know that you guys are
going to talk about more Primary
169
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
School experiences which is
exactly why we gonna do.
170
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,800
Oh, what an excellent segue.
Yeah, brilliant segue.
171
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,500
We should, we should just play
the, we should just play the
172
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:45,300
jingle there, to be honest.
But now I carried on talking
173
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,200
like always there was a jingle
different but now it's gone.
174
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,000
No, I could we could edit this
out but we're not going to do
175
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,300
it.
If that's okay.
176
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:52,800
What we gonna do is we're going
to move on because we can go
177
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,600
straight to stories but this
time it's different.
178
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,500
Like we said last week, we
teased you with it.
179
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,500
Oh stories from our Primary
School experiences.
180
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:01,800
Okay.
And we've had a couple of people
181
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
right in as well.
So we picked one or two stories
182
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,300
to read out.
So essentially just thinking of
183
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:09,300
memorable stuff from when we
were kids at primary school.
184
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,700
I'm looking forward to this one
because it is you know anyone
185
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:14,200
can relate to this now.
Absolutely.
186
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,300
Anyone connectors?
We all went to Primary School.
187
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,600
We've all got Ridiculous stories
that we love to share and it
188
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,100
kind of started it last week
because I want to jog my memory
189
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:23,700
because you're going to come in
with this story which is an
190
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:25,500
unbelievable story.
We can't wait to try this, it's
191
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,300
just like funny to me but it's
linked to the one I told last
192
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:30,200
week about how I was trying to
make new friends.
193
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,600
I just joined the new school
went to the toilet at break
194
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,500
time.
I've never used a year Rio.
195
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,400
I also had someone complained to
me about I called a urinal.
196
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,299
Apparently, it's a urinal.
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, urinal.
197
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:43,500
I said apparently.
So anyone wants to take up the
198
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,700
way I pronounce things, please
take out with the northern
199
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:47,600
Association because I am from
the north Aiden.
200
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,500
And then of you, I was going to
say, it's just the northern you.
201
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,200
I forgive you.
This other things, you know?
202
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,700
Yeah.
Also apparent I mentioned a lot
203
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,000
as well that I'm from the north.
But but yeah, whatever.
204
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,800
I'm proud.
Okay.
205
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,100
Once before.
Good.
206
00:08:58,300 --> 00:08:59,400
Not once.
No, I'm not.
207
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,600
I am though.
I am a northerner.
208
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,200
I'm at huh?
Yeah.
209
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,300
Yeah, not tell, you know, I
don't know that but you're from
210
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,400
down in.
Okay, I'm from the north of the
211
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,400
country, honestly, the better
half, but let's go into another
212
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,200
day, but the story was that I
went to the toilet.
213
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,600
I had never used a urinal or a
urinal ever before and I thought
214
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,700
was completely acceptable just
to whack my pants and my
215
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:22,900
trousers all went down to my
ankles and she quickly found
216
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,300
out.
It wasn't not the best first
217
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:27,300
impression but this story I want
you to tell it Hayden because
218
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:29,800
this this was just brilliant.
It was in direct response to
219
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,700
them.
All right, girls have had a
220
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:33,200
story and it's nice and simple.
But yeah, very similar.
221
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,400
You'll see the comparisons.
So this person wrote in and she
222
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,800
was reflecting on a story from I
think reception time she was
223
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,100
saying to me at the time, so
from reception time.
224
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:48,000
So I'm laughing already.
So So, you know, when you're
225
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,200
that age and just nothing's
rational yet, is it, you're kind
226
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,400
of making sense of the world,
you have don't have much life
227
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,900
experience.
Anyway, so she was jealous
228
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,400
essentially jealous because she
had found out that the boys got
229
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,900
to stand up when they weed.
She was like, what?
230
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,800
That sounds amazing.
That sounds like the best way to
231
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800
we.
So being a reception child, she
232
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,000
took herself to the toilet and
tried to stand up and we and of
233
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,800
course being Like a
five-year-old four-year-old
234
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,700
girl, just it up and we'd all
over herself.
235
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:26,000
We all have her clothes and
there was like, okay, that's
236
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,700
that's pretty rubbish.
Obviously didn't work left and
237
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:31,700
the teachers were like, oh dear
and start accusing her of
238
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:34,700
wetting herself.
And again being like, you know,
239
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:36,800
when you're that young, she
couldn't look past her and she's
240
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,600
like, no I haven't wet myself.
I haven't weighed myself.
241
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,100
I was trying to be like a boy.
I haven't wet myself.
242
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:43,600
I wasn't being standing up is
that?
243
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Well you know you are covered
in.
244
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,200
We though so you've went no I
don't mind.
245
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:48,900
Self.
I was just I was just waiting
246
00:10:48,900 --> 00:10:51,100
standing up.
That's a good show.
247
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:53,800
You haven't wet yourself.
What's that smell friendly?
248
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:58,500
Why is there a little bit of we
in fact loads of we on the
249
00:10:58,508 --> 00:11:00,900
floor, little over the seat and
the rest is on you.
250
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,800
That looks to me like you've got
yourself.
251
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,100
Could you please define what in
yourself?
252
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,000
So yeah, very similar to your
story.
253
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,500
Just being an arrogant child and
be like, no, I have not been
254
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,400
myself.
That's a different act.
255
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:17,200
I have, we done myself, that's
different.
256
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,500
It was purposeful get out of my
face teacher.
257
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Yeah, I've got a story.
Can I give you can I jump in
258
00:11:26,008 --> 00:11:28,700
with a story, just a sip, not
similar, but it's me really
259
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,500
young as well.
And I was thinking, yeah, this
260
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,800
and just one of those stupid
moments where you think what was
261
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,600
I thinking?
What was I thinking?
262
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,800
I wasn't embarrassingly.
This wasn't reception.
263
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,400
I was in about your five at this
point.
264
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,300
So you think this was the last
year ladies and gentlemen.
265
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,700
It was in this fourth year yet
when I worked in year.
266
00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,200
Five know.
So when I was in year 5, so
267
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,800
what's that?
Nine years, old.
268
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Nine years old.
Yeah, and I in the morning, my
269
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,800
best friend at the time was my
best friend for much longer
270
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,700
after this as you can, possibly
imagine thought.
271
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:00,200
It'd be funny to throw chewing
gum at me and I don't think he
272
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000
was intentionally trying to get
it like in my hair but it landed
273
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400
in my hair, right?
Which is obviously.
274
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,500
Wait, wait, wait.
Sorry.
275
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:09,000
Your hair.
Yeah.
276
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,600
So back in the day Dylan I had
more, I had more Luscious Hair
277
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,500
than this and this concoct not
gotta let ho did you always Have
278
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,700
that bigger forehead though.
I'd like to say no but I did.
279
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:25,000
I always one of my nicknames.
The secondary school was big
280
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,500
forehead can isolate a genocide
nickname.
281
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,300
That's just describing it often
came.
282
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:32,800
They often came from across the
playground.
283
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Didn't know who it was but you
know it's just a nickname isn't
284
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,100
people.
Obviously I just never saw them
285
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,200
at no attention.
That's not a nickname that
286
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,900
that's not.
Does that like nicknames her to
287
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:45,300
have layers of like Nuance
describing what they can see on?
288
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,100
Okay, I can't.
It's myself as a nickname
289
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,900
because otherwise it's bullying.
So I know it's a nickname.
290
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,200
They like me hear those kids are
still kids from the air above
291
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,400
shouting at me across the
hallway.
292
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,300
They're just my friends.
Anyway, it's a nickname.
293
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:03,000
So back big forehead little me
with a mop of hair okay.
294
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,600
A nice mop of hair are lad.
Got some chewing gum in my hair
295
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,000
and it was before school that
bitter playground time before
296
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
the whistle goes and you go in.
So I thought, right?
297
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Come on Problem.
Solver, what can I do here?
298
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,400
I, you know, I don't I'm
Obviously is chewing gum in my
299
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,600
hair.
I think the best course of
300
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,200
action is to go sneak inside
sneak to my tray.
301
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,000
In the classroom, the window
allowed in yet, because no one's
302
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,400
there and cut it out, that way
the best course of action.
303
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,100
So went in there, it was right
in my crown right here, the back
304
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,500
of my head and obviously I can
see it.
305
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,400
So I thought okay it doesn't
feel like too much.
306
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,900
I've grabbed the hair with the
chewing gum in it and thought
307
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,000
right minimized it I'll just cut
just believe the chewing gum.
308
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,900
I just cut that bit out.
Did it chucked?
309
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,900
It away?
You know, legs back outside,
310
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,300
Bish bash, Bosh.
Glad no one's going to know now
311
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:52,600
that that's happened.
I'd ask it my friend in trouble.
312
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,900
I'm not in trouble.
Anyway, fast forward, five
313
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,200
minutes should go inside and the
teacher was like, whoa, what
314
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,900
have you done?
I just cut the biggest lump
315
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,800
clump of hair out and I had a
big patch.
316
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,000
They have to go home, obviously,
cried, and it, and it never grew
317
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200
back.
I did this.
318
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,500
I repeated this process six or
seven times, and that's where
319
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:16,000
I'm at now.
Okay, so they call me, big
320
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
forehead, they call me chewing
gum head as well.
321
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Don't know what, you know, these
names disappeared over the
322
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,800
years.
So that's just, that's my
323
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,100
idiotic moment.
I'll always remember as a child
324
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,200
too, afraid to just do the right
thing and just ask for help and
325
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,600
that ladies and gentlemen, is
how Hayden went bald.
326
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,000
Thank you for tuning in as an
amazing story.
327
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,700
But the thing, the thing I love
about Primary School Stories is
328
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400
when I thought about this a few
times, I know we've spoken about
329
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,900
this before because it's really
mad some Kind of duality of with
330
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:48,900
primary school teachers and
we're very aware of our
331
00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:51,000
Consciousness, right?
We're very aware of the memories
332
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
were making.
I can remember lots and lots and
333
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,400
lots from pretty much every year
where I've been a teacher.
334
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
But, and you see these children
who have their own
335
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800
personalities, they're already
molded into their own people and
336
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,100
they're very specific and very
real emotions and very real
337
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,600
problems, right?
That we deal with every day, but
338
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,900
then I remember and I try to
think back to primary school and
339
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:13,700
I don't remember a lot of stuff
if I'm perfectly honest, and
340
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:16,000
it's really weird to think Look
how much we think we're
341
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:17,400
affecting these children's
lives?
342
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,800
And we are we're like giving
them developing them in certain
343
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200
ways in motion the education in
and it all like kind of
344
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,400
compounds it where they remember
it or not.
345
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:27,100
But it is really interesting to
me to think back to what I
346
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,700
actually remember from primary
school because the things I
347
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:34,400
remember are the really like
emotional moments or something.
348
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,300
Where a teacher really helped me
to grasp something.
349
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:40,200
Or I was half or those trips,
those enrichment things, the the
350
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,700
fun, the stuff that we're so
scared about that.
351
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:44,600
We're losing so much from
education, right?
352
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:47,500
Out that they're the things I
really, really remember.
353
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,600
Like I remember so vividly and I
don't know.
354
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000
Lots of people, our age will
remember this as well.
355
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:57,500
We had a school trip and it was
arranged and we are would have
356
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:00,900
been in year for I think it was
a school trip to the Natural
357
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,400
History Museum.
Firstly, what?
358
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000
A peak trip to go on, like
unbelievable.
359
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,700
When you're in here for walking
in and seeing I know it's a
360
00:16:07,708 --> 00:16:10,300
whale now but it used to be a
massive dinosaur like that was
361
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,000
such an or inspiring moment,
like, but that's not even the
362
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,200
point.
I'm making the thing.
363
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,300
I remember, I'm more than
anything from that day.
364
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,200
It was the World Cup.
The 2002 World Cup.
365
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:21,600
It was in Japan.
I think, or South Korea, Japan,
366
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,700
and South Korea.
England were playing Brazil.
367
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,300
And we went into school early
because we were getting a coach.
368
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:30,000
And we watched the first half in
the hall and you see all those
369
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,200
means online of that television
being rolled in, you know, the
370
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,700
VHS Anthony who yes, literally
what happened.
371
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,400
And I remember.
So vividly, we watch the first
372
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,200
half and I was a member because
I think was Michael Owen who
373
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800
scored and it therefore went
crazy.
374
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,900
It was like the biggest Spring
in the world.
375
00:16:45,900 --> 00:16:47,900
And then Brazil equalised.
We had to go, though.
376
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,800
We had to go on the coach and we
were devastated.
377
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Were gutted, because obviously,
obsessed with football then, and
378
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,700
we went on to the coach and I
always remember my teacher, my
379
00:16:56,700 --> 00:16:59,100
PE teacher at the time he was
training as well just to become
380
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:03,000
a teacher funnily enough.
This is the same person from our
381
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,400
bungo story from our second
podcast.
382
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:07,700
He was my teacher as I am that
working with him.
383
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:12,099
Anyway, he had like a really
state-of-the-art handheld TV
384
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,500
thing had this huge antenna
coming out of it too.
385
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,700
Receive like the signal of the
television and this tiny, tiny
386
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,000
screen.
And he was sat on the coach
387
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,200
watching the game and the whole
coach was side at like staring
388
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,300
at him, like, waiting for him to
say something and then, and then
389
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:29,900
Brazil scored and Brazil won.
And we were just like, oh, and I
390
00:17:29,908 --> 00:17:32,800
remember because we got off the
coach and obviously went to, we
391
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,900
went to the Natural History
Museum.
392
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,900
We had a bit of a walk once we
got on the coach and this car
393
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:42,100
drove past waving this massive
Brazil flag, and but, but, but
394
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,800
it's so vivid those memories and
It links in with everything,
395
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,500
that everything fun trip.
You do those big projects.
396
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,900
I did a project on space, like,
it just like blew my mind
397
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,600
because I could just, we spent
weeks just researching what we
398
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,700
wanted to look up.
And I found it so fat.
399
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:02,200
I learnt so much and that's what
I think sometimes is slightly
400
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,700
concerning maybe from our point
of view is that we are losing
401
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,800
maybe a lot of that is the first
thing to go, especially post
402
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,800
covid.
Yeah.
403
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,000
And I wonder why as well.
I often think is you know what?
404
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,600
Firstly is that true?
Is it?
405
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,600
Across all the schools, you
know, the country that we're
406
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,400
losing that or is it just a kind
of localized experience and,
407
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,200
and, secondly, sort of why is
it?
408
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,800
Do you think because of the
pressures, perhaps of, of the
409
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,100
curriculum nowadays, we're
leaving it.
410
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:27,700
But you're right there, I'm just
going to jump on like thinking
411
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:30,000
about like just reminiscent of
it because I was trying to
412
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,700
think.
Can I remember a single time in
413
00:18:33,700 --> 00:18:36,200
my entire primary school
experience, where I was doing
414
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,900
work in a book?
And I honestly can't, I was
415
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,200
trying so hard to think of a
memory that I have.
416
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,300
And the only things I remember
about actual lesson time, One
417
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600
making a World War Two booklet
then.
418
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,500
Yes it is.
I remember doing it because I
419
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,400
got I to actually spend a really
good amount of time doing all
420
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,400
the illustrations and make it.
I loved it.
421
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400
I really don't like the planets.
The planets thing I spoke about.
422
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,300
I remember an acrostic poem down
the side.
423
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:02,300
Yeah, I did that as a title page
for every single planet and I
424
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,400
remember doing it, I love it, if
it's fun.
425
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:07,600
I also remember the classic
lesson of electricity where we
426
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,200
got all of the crocodile Clips
out and the bulbs and stuff, you
427
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,400
know, each and I just I remember
I want to just get them all.
428
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,000
I'll super inspired by it, and I
wanted All of them.
429
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
I was like I was thinking, I
wonder if after school I could
430
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
stay and maybe I could get all
of the crocodile clips and other
431
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,200
stuff.
And I can make this massive
432
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,800
circuit, and I was imagining
him.
433
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,600
I didn't remember this silly
irrational thought I was like,
434
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,400
imagining this like floating
ball of crocodile Clips, right?
435
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Made this crazy.
Can, like, Contraption out of
436
00:19:29,608 --> 00:19:32,300
electricity, but like it, even
though it was nonsense, it
437
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:34,800
didn't matter because I loved
it.
438
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,000
And I couldn't have wanted to be
there anymore, but I don't
439
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,900
remember a single English
lesson.
440
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,200
I don't remember a single Mass
Essen.
441
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,000
I honestly, just don't, and I
loved maths as well.
442
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,600
I don't remember sitting there
and Doing things.
443
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,700
I just have those memories of
like special moments.
444
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,200
Another one, for example, was
when we got a new library, my
445
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000
primary school, we didn't really
have a proper library and they
446
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,200
built in this like upstairs part
to the corridor because it's a
447
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,100
really tall Corridor.
They managed to.
448
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,500
It's basically like yeah this is
really cool.
449
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,400
They just built in this whole
Landing part and it was a nice
450
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,800
balcony.
Almost yeah, that's exactly what
451
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,600
it was.
Is like an indoor balcony but
452
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800
really themed it was quite like
low lighting but like jungle
453
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,000
theme and I just remember being
And I wasn't really a big reader
454
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,400
then but that that maybe want to
go and read.
455
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,200
I wanted to go and sit in there
because it was awesome.
456
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,200
Looking.
Yeah, it's just funny, isn't it?
457
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,000
How, and I just reflect on my
own practice now and I think,
458
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:29,300
yeah, definitely, what am I
doing?
459
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:34,100
That's the thing because I think
it's really though really
460
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:36,300
important point to make that
just because we can't remember
461
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:38,900
those English and maths lessons.
Clearly, they were building on
462
00:20:38,908 --> 00:20:41,100
each other, clearly.
Those small steps were like,
463
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,800
helping us to make progress and
it's all really important and
464
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,200
it's not just a simple case.
Of obesity while I remember
465
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,100
this.
So it's good.
466
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,700
And I don't remember that.
So we class of course, but but
467
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:52,900
there, but there is still such a
powerful thing to say, the
468
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:56,500
anything I remembrance stands
out from school like you're
469
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:59,500
saying your new library.
I remember the day.
470
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:02,000
Our school got a computers
computer, sweet just be one
471
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,300
computer in each classroom.
Then we've got our computer,
472
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,000
sweet.
I remember the day that our
473
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,500
teacher told us guys, and they
even said this, like I that they
474
00:21:09,500 --> 00:21:10,400
must have just been being
honest.
475
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,600
I like, guys, we've got some
funding, we've got some money.
476
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,400
I don't know whether it was from
vouchers or what.
477
00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,300
But, we've got some money for
new playground equipment, and
478
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:19,900
they let us look through the
booklets, look, through the
479
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:21,500
things and say, what kind of
stuff we want?
480
00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:23,800
I remember that.
And then it got delivered to the
481
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,200
school.
And I was like, there was this
482
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,700
space operas, you can stand on
and I was still it's and it was
483
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:29,800
like, the best thing that could
ever happen.
484
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,300
And, and I just feel like in the
grand scheme of, like, the cost
485
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:35,600
of stuff.
These, these small moments for
486
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,300
our children are just Priceless,
aren't they?
487
00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:40,000
Because you don't know.
You can never tell what every
488
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800
child's getting outside of
school, and I just think as a
489
00:21:42,808 --> 00:21:46,800
society and as a country, As a
government as it has a group of
490
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,600
teachers, there's such value
empowering money into our kids.
491
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,300
Whether it's these resources,
these special days, these
492
00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:56,300
amazing things that I remember
for the rest of their lives
493
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,400
School.
Dinners, like why can't we feed
494
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800
our kids properly?
Why is that even a political
495
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,000
question that the nutrition of
our next generation is in
496
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
question.
I don't understand it.
497
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,500
Yeah.
Now you're absolutely right.
498
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:11,100
We should be prioritizing these
things going outside.
499
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:15,000
Is one thing that in my teaching
practice I've always Ways are
500
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,300
periodically anyway,
particularly when it gets nice
501
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,800
and sunny in the year, right?
I reflect back to times when I
502
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,700
was a kid where I loved it.
When I teach it, took us outside
503
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:25,900
to go and do some like
observational drawing or
504
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:30,700
something that I just enjoyed so
much and I'll have these moments
505
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,600
like maybe weeks or months in
the year.
506
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,100
I'm like it's nice outside what
can I do to get my kids outside?
507
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,300
And I'll think I'll try and
change my lesson so that we can
508
00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,600
go outside and do it or we can,
you know, take the learning
509
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,800
outside because I just know that
they'll enjoy that thoroughly
510
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,300
compared to whatever.
That plan that day and I'll just
511
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,000
try to get out as much as
possible when I think more and
512
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,400
more about Primary School, such
a big part of it as well.
513
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Which makes sense now because it
is such a big part of school
514
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,600
life so I can see why.
But for me personally was the
515
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,700
whole sport acts aspect, that
that was that was a huge you
516
00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:06,700
know the feeling of your teacher
saying to you at 2:50 guys you
517
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,300
can go and get changed.
You've got a football match
518
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:10,400
after school.
The feeling of standing up out
519
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,000
of your chair and walking out as
everyone else.
520
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,500
Finishes their work is the best
feeling in the world.
521
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Ugh.
Yeah, sorry guys.
522
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,800
I was gonna go grab my shin pads
because I'm getting changed for
523
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,900
a football game.
I'm a pro and I'll always
524
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,700
remember.
Yeah, I'll always remember this
525
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,800
one game because it's hilarious,
looking back, but in the moment,
526
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,800
I felt so accomplished.
Right?
527
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,600
So I'll tell you, the reason why
I felt accomplished, then I'll
528
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,100
give you the context as to why
it's hilarious.
529
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,700
So, I played a game.
It was my first game for the
530
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:38,100
school because I was quite late
in terms of getting into sports
531
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,200
and football.
So, as we said, previously, I
532
00:23:40,208 --> 00:23:41,900
don't have, I mentioned this,
but I am from the north.
533
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,500
So, I moved down here and I
joined a new school as we said,
534
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,100
Yes, Ray and it's probably if or
when I played my first game for
535
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,800
the school because only in year
3 when I moved down here that I
536
00:23:50,808 --> 00:23:52,500
actually get into football
properly, right?
537
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,500
So I got into the team.
My first ever game, it was a
538
00:23:55,508 --> 00:23:58,600
friendly with another school was
away so we drove the minivan
539
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,400
over there.
Most exciting day of my life
540
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,700
ever.
I started the game up front.
541
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,600
I scored a goal.
First goal ever scored, ever in
542
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,300
any competition playing football
at any point.
543
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:13,900
And I remember on the, on the
wall at school are sports coach
544
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:15,000
the same.
When I mentioned, Earlier, I
545
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800
would always put up a sheet of
paper with whoever played, you
546
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,400
know, the team list for the
whole school to see who scored
547
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,700
my name was there.
And it said at the bottom, man
548
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:28,300
of the match and it was my name
as well as on the window and
549
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,700
it's the best feeling ever.
But what's absolutely hilarious
550
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,300
looking back is that it was the
beating.
551
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,100
So I was paying for the beating,
not even the 18.
552
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600
The second thing was we lost 11
1 plus 11 one, that's what I
553
00:24:38,608 --> 00:24:40,100
scored.
The only goal of the match from
554
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:44,300
my team not of the actual home
and we lost the game with you
555
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:46,100
still, Out good.
And that, that makes me just
556
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:48,600
think, oh, maybe I.
Maybe I need to put more time
557
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,300
into those moments because it's
so easy to overlook them now.
558
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,300
Isn't it as adults?
And there's a million other
559
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,600
things to think about to forget
that.
560
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Yeah.
It might be a little thing for
561
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,600
us and like, really are better
paper now you just be so easy,
562
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,500
wouldn't it just not print that
bit of paper because you got
563
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,700
something else to do.
But for that, for that kid for
564
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:07,700
you, little you that even though
you lost seeing your name next,
565
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:09,600
to man of the match, I'm
probably some like Microsoft
566
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Word or even just handwritten
piece of paper, then.
567
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Yeah, it was, it was.
All right.
568
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,300
It was a word doc nothing fancy.
But it It doesn't matter.
569
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:19,400
It doesn't matter because I'm 29
and I'm sat here now, talking
570
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,800
about it.
How crazy is that?
571
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,100
That decision of that teacher,
I'll always be great, you know,
572
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,300
because because that teacher, I
know always puts the kids first
573
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,900
every single decision they make
because I worked with this
574
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:33,100
teacher for a bit as well, when
I'm every single decision at the
575
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:36,900
Forefront of his mind was houses
benefiting the children, what
576
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:41,100
the children getting out of it.
And I think it can so quickly
577
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:44,500
become lost sometimes and yeah,
I'm guilty of it.
578
00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:46,700
To where you see a curriculum in
front of you, you feel the
579
00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:49,300
pressure of delivering the
curriculum, you are under
580
00:25:49,300 --> 00:25:53,500
pressure to do X, Y Zed, but
when we strip it back, what's
581
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:55,000
going to have the most impact on
the children?
582
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,400
It's them feeling special, it's
them feeling loved.
583
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000
It's them feeling appreciated
and it's those huge.
584
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,900
Wow moments that actually I
think more and more I need to
585
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,300
make sure that I continue doing
as I go through the profession
586
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:09,000
and not get ground down by it.
And actually when I look at an
587
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,700
afternoon lesson and it's DT and
we're building these huge
588
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:13,700
structures, it's not a bad
thing.
589
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,500
It's something.
In that, I'm going to actually
590
00:26:15,500 --> 00:26:16,800
reddish now, because I'm so
cool.
591
00:26:16,900 --> 00:26:19,700
This child.
And they're 25 might look back
592
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:20,900
and go.
How do you remember when we made
593
00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:23,600
a dome in our classroom and it
was huge.
594
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,400
Yeah, I'd be teaching was really
stressed.
595
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,300
We had a great day and I think
it just that's true.
596
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,200
Isn't it stress?
The stress levels of doing those
597
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,000
kind of things can be huge,
which I think highlights the
598
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,600
kind of fundamental issue.
I'm not going to talk about it
599
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,700
much because we did talk about
analyzed episodes I go and check
600
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:41,000
that out if you want to.
I've just there's too many jobs
601
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,400
too little time.
So when I can understand
602
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,400
literally from first time,
Parents as well.
603
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:48,600
When you are when you get on a
Monday or even on a Sunday
604
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,000
before you started your week.
And you can already see that
605
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,600
there are more hours of work to
do than you.
606
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,300
Then you're going to work the
next week already like your
607
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:58,400
timetable is already, completely
filled, plus more.
608
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:02,200
You can see why it's so tempting
to not print that little sheet
609
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:04,000
of that kid's name on it and put
it up on the wall.
610
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,400
You can see why that doesn't
happen.
611
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,400
Perhaps as much now as it does,
when y lots of teachers reflect
612
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,300
on teaching, 20 years ago and
say, yeah, we used to do way
613
00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:14,400
more of that stuff.
I can see that now.
614
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,000
Now, but I tell you what,
leading on from that.
615
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
But yeah, we've talked about
lessons and things you remember
616
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
from primary school, I'm sure
everyone listening has specific
617
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,100
things they remember.
But I tell you what, I do
618
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:29,400
remember and this this may be
like, hints as towards what kind
619
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,100
of people they were?
I remember every single teacher,
620
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:35,400
I remember every single teacher
that I had, I do from, when I
621
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,200
joined the school in year, 3
year 4 year, 5 year 6.
622
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000
And I remember when I trained to
become a teacher again not
623
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,400
again.
Sorry when I trained the first
624
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,700
time.
Become a teacher, you have to
625
00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:48,600
spend a certain number of days,
you only ones that spend a
626
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,900
certain number of days just in a
school before you do anything.
627
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:52,900
That's very cool.
I can't read what they're
628
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:54,700
called.
They've got specific name, but
629
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,000
you have to do them.
You're not working.
630
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,600
You don't actually like doing
groups or anything like that.
631
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,100
You just in a school because I
think the point is you need to
632
00:28:02,108 --> 00:28:04,200
spend 10 days in a school, to
make sure actually it's the
633
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,200
environment for you and you're
sure you want to go for my
634
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,400
dissertation on that stuff.
Yeah.
635
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,100
It makes complete sense to
schools are very specific
636
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:11,900
environment.
So to say, you want to be a
637
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,400
teacher ever being in a school
would be a bit crazy.
638
00:28:14,500 --> 00:28:16,800
Really, so it's good to go and
check it out and obviously I
639
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,700
reached out to my old school
because at that point so any
640
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:21,300
primary school, you know, as a
young man you don't know any
641
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,900
other primary schools other than
the one you went to.
642
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,300
And I think this is a common
theme having worked in primary
643
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:29,500
schools, the overwhelming joy
that one of their extra people
644
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,700
is is reaching out to them like
it's a really they love it and
645
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:36,700
having seen it kind of happened
in schools where in now it makes
646
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:39,000
sense because if one of my
children emailed me when they're
647
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,500
older and said all kind of come
into the score but I oh my gosh.
648
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,400
Yes and I had this moment
actually impair.
649
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:46,500
Evening this week, we had
Parents evening in our school.
650
00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:50,200
Talking told my current classes
parents going really well,
651
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,700
having a chat, and then in one
of the, the downtime, one of my,
652
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:58,600
one of my pupils has a brother
who's in primary school, but
653
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,800
she's gone.
Secondary school.
654
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,600
And she was my, one of my pupils
in the class that got shot
655
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,700
because of lockdown in March,
20, 20 in.
656
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,400
Yeah, and it was in year 5, so
she's in year eight or nine.
657
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Now, I think wherever it would
be but she's in secondary school
658
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,000
and she and her mom and her Her
brother and her dad,
659
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,200
specifically had came to my room
knowing that it was parents
660
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,500
evening.
Yeah, just to see me just for
661
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:26,300
her to see me and catch up and
it was so nice to see.
662
00:29:26,300 --> 00:29:28,600
And actually just goes back to
what we said last week about
663
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,400
our, we play ourselves into
helping these children and you
664
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,400
know, just just the fact they
came around to see me.
665
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
It sounds crazy but I was just
so it's thank you.
666
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,000
It's so nice to see you.
We had a little chat and the
667
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
classic you know, teenage
slightly awkward but clearly
668
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,700
wanted to come and say hi and it
was just really Nice to have to
669
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:47,800
see them and see how much
they've grown, but they kind of
670
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,600
Link's back to what they're
saying.
671
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,300
They're right about, you know,
teachers and the bond they make
672
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,200
it has an impact because I
remember them.
673
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,300
And I was so like overwhelmed,
not overwhelmed but Overjoyed to
674
00:29:58,300 --> 00:30:01,200
actually see them again because
they were nice to me.
675
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,600
I remember like it because you
know I think just because you're
676
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200
a child, sometimes I think a lot
of adults might think are, you
677
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,600
know, it's treat them like
children.
678
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
It's fine by.
Remember them being nice to me.
679
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,600
I remember them going out of
their way to help me.
680
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,100
And when I saw them as an adult,
I was like Hello, it's so nice
681
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:17,900
to see you and they remember, do
you remember?
682
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:19,500
It's crazy eyes exactly the
same.
683
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:22,100
I went to I went to my primary
school when I did those or 10
684
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,100
days.
I ended up volunteering for
685
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:25,700
quite a bit actually before I go
into teaching.
686
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
And yeah, it was just such a
wonderful experience and I'm
687
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,900
really thankful actually,
because the lady who I was with
688
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:33,100
most of the time, which is Port.
I'm not afraid to say her name
689
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:35,400
because big shout out to you.
Who, who?
690
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,000
Let me in her class.
She's our fourth listener.
691
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400
But yeah, here we go.
You wish you mrs.
692
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Porter, don't forget Boris
trust.
693
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,500
Oh, yes, very and she.
It's just I just loved it.
694
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,400
I loved every moment I was in
there and it confirms me I was
695
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,600
like, yeah cool.
This, what I want to do, I want
696
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000
to work with kids, they are
awesome, but but I could have
697
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,400
easily like looking, you know,
knowing being in the Korean
698
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,200
after eight years.
I could easily have just been
699
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,000
kind of bummed off.
As I was just volunteered.
700
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,300
I just we're busy were busy
busy, just put them over there.
701
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:02,200
Let make it get him to do some
backs and displays or something.
702
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,600
Just got me out the way, you
know, easily, but she didn't she
703
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400
was really lovely and, and gave
me lots of valuable experiences
704
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,500
with the children.
So I could really work out
705
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
whether I want to do this or not
so that was great.
706
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,500
Now I know that people listening
as well, if You know, we want
707
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,100
more stories.
I hopefully if you're listening
708
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:18,900
to this, you're thinking of your
reminiscing.
709
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:21,400
Now, on some of your famous
Primary School memories, we
710
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,600
would love to hear them
genuinely.
711
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,500
We really want to see them even
if they don't get feature on the
712
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:26,600
podcast because, you know,
5,000, people write in to us,
713
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,100
very likely, we'd still like to
read them.
714
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,900
Anyway, just to feel that kind
of joy, and maybe we can pick
715
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:34,000
out a couple of stories gonna
read them.
716
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,900
Anyway, we're gonna read them
anyway.
717
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,800
Oh, there we go, comes the
memes.

Well done on Instagram.
You can shoot, you can check us
721
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,700

722
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,000
them saying therefore there we
are the different so well,
723
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,100
someone moaned about the length.
Yeah, I thought, well, I'll make
724
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:57,000
it even longer but I'm spiteful
and I think very quickly.
725
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
But lean on what you said.
I'm going to shout out my
726
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,100
teachers from primary school.
I'm gonna do so yeah.
727
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,600
Yeah, sorry mrs.
Wood, well done, absolutely
728
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,100
cracking cracking teacher-led.
No introduced me to life in the
729
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:11,200
South and you know didn't make
me feel like an outsider mrs.
730
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,300
Walker year for always with a
guitar in hand she made.
731
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,200
I joined the choir not much of a
singer, but she believed in me
732
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,400
felt good.
It was in the choir, we won
733
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,200
stuff.
Excellent religion.
734
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,900
Always remember her.
Then a, why this sticks in my
735
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,400
head but she's playing the
guitar and she's going, she's
736
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
teaching us a song.
It was a him or something.
737
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:31,100
And she would say, the no of she
would say the name of the note
738
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:33,400
as she was playing the note
sometimes and it just always
739
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,800
thought of me her go dese us.
The I don't even know what that
740
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,600
means though.
But is it something to do music?
741
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,500
I don't know, but I remember it,
I remember is good.
742
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,200
They're doing is so mr.
Branton year five, John I
743
00:32:43,208 --> 00:32:44,300

Branson and yes.
744
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,600
I've grown when we had a good
week with fill up a jar of
745
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,600
marbles so the top we get a
tree.
746
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,100
We could watch mr.
Beam on the TV, that's a
747
00:32:52,108 --> 00:32:53,000
brilliant.
Watch mr.
748
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Bean.
Absolutely loved it heightened.
749
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,700
My love of Comedy I think thank
you mr.
750
00:32:56,700 --> 00:32:59,400
Branton and yes six mr.
Letts mr.
751
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,900
Letts was the man who pushed me
and pushed me and pushed me
752
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:05,000
especially with math.
So I was a member because he
753
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,200
loved maths, I loved maths and I
remember you were saying you
754
00:33:08,208 --> 00:33:09,600
don't really remember doing much
work.
755
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:13,700
I remember doing working U6
because he would give me really
756
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:14,900
tricky mask.
Questions.
757
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,600
And it would always say, at the
bottom, as like, a little
758
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,600
challenge in the mass booklet,
it was called, let's
759
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,800
investigate.
And it was like this open ended
760
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,100
problem, right?
I remember doing them so much
761
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,200
because it was like, cool, wild
Ellen.
762
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
You can do everything.
So, let's investigate and I was
763
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,100
like, oh, let's investigate.
It was all about like, shakes.
764
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,900
And I remember something to
symmetry.
765
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,100
Yep.
And each teacher, I have such a
766
00:33:34,108 --> 00:33:36,100
specific memory of how they
were.
767
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,500
And if they ever do, listen to
this, I'm just going to say
768
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:41,400
thank you to them because you
had an impact, and you have any
769
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,000
impact that.
I hope I'm having now.
770
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,300
So, thanks.
I was just a And so all for
771
00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,900
listeners right now, what you
need to do is go on social media
772
00:33:49,100 --> 00:33:51,000
and just shout out.
Some shout out a teacher you
773
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,600
know, that made a difference to
you because I tell you what,
774
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,200
they probably worked their socks
off back then, shout Mount say
775
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,600
something.
Nice.
776
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,200
I'm going to shower at one of my
teachers won't go through all of
777
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,700
them.
One of my teachers year three
778
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,900
and year for she was Miss Dunn
thorn in your three.
779
00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:04,100
She got married over the summer.
Came back as mrs.
780
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:07,000
Plankin and she bet she was
gutted when she saw you there
781
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,400
faster?
Yeah.
782
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,699
Oh man.
She was just such a lovely
783
00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:12,699
teacher.
I got on Facebook to answer for
784
00:34:12,699 --> 00:34:13,900
you.
I've got a face, but now we're
785
00:34:13,900 --> 00:34:15,600
adults here.
Every week, we cook up some
786
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,300
point later in life, and it was
great and just want to shout out
787
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:22,199
because she made a huge
difference to my charted and
788
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,400
maybe really love learning.
And that is when my lover lonely
789
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,100
kicked in.
I was around that time, I
790
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:28,800
realized I could do stuff.
And I worked really hard and
791
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,000
like you said she pushed me.
So yeah, yeah, big up that they
792
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,600
got the primary school teachers
that helped T.
793
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Reckon if we met these people
again, right in real life that
794
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,900
we'd regress 28 year old selves.
Hey Miss hey Miss, I'd like to
795
00:34:40,900 --> 00:34:43,900
think so yeah.
Yeah, no.
796
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,800
Last night at the register for
you, please get what you want in
797
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,699
a pub.
Sorry.
798
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:51,000
Miss there is something about
seeing your old teachers.
799
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,900
There was no way you do.
You do naturally just it feels
800
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:54,800
weird calling the by that name,
I still wouldn't want to call
801
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,900
them both.
Oh, I don't like that.
802
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,400
Yeah, well, the thing is, as
well as we work in primary,
803
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,700
obviously, but obviously,
because we are older.
804
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:03,900
I have far more memories of
secondary as well, and this is
805
00:35:03,900 --> 00:35:07,500
equivalent teachers there.
Maybe, maybe we do, you know,
806
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,900
teacher shout out of the week,
and we just think of a teacher,
807
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,800
that's, you know, influence
their lives for a bit and our
808
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,400
last forever eventually.
Hey, it's called being nice.
809
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:19,000
Okay.
Yeah because you know why don't
810
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,600
you I'm making this a thing.
So one day someone shouts me out
811
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,800
on a West Side, start the name
the wheels already so good luck.
812
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,500
Already ahead of myself there
then we're gonna defy teachers a
813
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:35,200
week.
Oh man.
814
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:40,800
Anyway 5th, 5th, every five
minutes, jitka duct, you up.
815
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:43,400
I really want to tell on the
flip side now and embarrassing
816
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,400
story.
I've done some other kind of
817
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,200
funny things and I guess a
hairpin is very interesting.
818
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:49,600
Yeah.
They have been welcomed a little
819
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,100
bit so that's amazing.
Like, that's just like Dopey
820
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:54,200
asking.
So silly like, what am I doing?
821
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,700
I do those.
Yeah, but this one's actually
822
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:57,300
embarrassing one of those
moments.
823
00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:58,300
That is a core.
Three.
824
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Because it will embarrass me to
my core literally, you know, I
825
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,400
mean, and I'll never forget that
and I'll never forget that after
826
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,500
the word Corrigan.
Yeah, I know.
827
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,900
And I like how you explain what
a core memory was by saying
828
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:08,800
Corrigan.
I definitely.
829
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,200
Yeah, good.
That's what a good teacher does
830
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,800
explains a word with the same
word.
831
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,300
That's how you.
That's how you understand?
832
00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:15,100
Therefore, no, wonder, what do
you think it means?
833
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,000
Look at the root word.
They're obviously shit up,
834
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:21,100
right?
So I was in year 6.
835
00:36:21,900 --> 00:36:23,200
It's actually really
embarrassing.
836
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,300
I feel embarrassed telling a
story so stupid.
837
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,400
Six, I wasn't listened.
You were the football kid,
838
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:31,600
right?
You were like into the furball?
839
00:36:31,700 --> 00:36:33,200
I couldn't have cared less about
football.
840
00:36:33,300 --> 00:36:36,000
I was the one who'd I just want.
I just wanted to do maths and
841
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,600
draw stuff, and, but to try and
fit in.
842
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,700
I was also very conscious of
that I want I didn't want to be,
843
00:36:40,700 --> 00:36:41,900
you know, separate everyone
else.
844
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:47,100
So I'd be like Michael Owen is
started kicking in but like I
845
00:36:47,107 --> 00:36:48,900
didn't know what was very
quickly come in.
846
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:50,600
Could I really quickly come in?
What?
847
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Because of the most hilarious
thing ever is you still say
848
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,100
Michael?
I know because it's because of
849
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,800
primers could experience, it's
become Email because I still
850
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,400
don't.
I'm not interested in football.
851
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:02,400
I might watch the World Cup,
that's about it.
852
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,900
But yeah, I still when I'm
joking around with you, I'm just
853
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:06,600
trying to take the mick out.
People that are getting really
854
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,400
into cook with my company.
I'm just like, yeah, Michael
855
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,600
Owen is good.
Is he always go to my fellowmen?
856
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,600
And that's because of my primary
school experiences anyway.
857
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,700
So I was like going to get.
Anyway, that's so the kind of
858
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:19,000
cool kids were in what I deemed
as the cool kids were all having
859
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
a chat and it was a group of
girls at this point was in the
860
00:37:21,008 --> 00:37:24,700
classroom, I remember it.
And for some reason I thought I
861
00:37:24,707 --> 00:37:27,300
was kind of around and maybe
sucked into the conversation.
862
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,400
And And one of the girls they
were clearly talking about like
863
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:33,100
you know, they're unisex, they
were they were growing older and
864
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:36,000
things were changing and I was
mostly been a bit nosy or
865
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,100
something and they said they
didn't have you started your
866
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:43,000
period.
I had no idea what they were
867
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,100
talking about but I didn't want
to sound uncool.
868
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,800
So what did I say?
I just I just blacked it and I
869
00:37:50,808 --> 00:37:55,900
was I yeah yeah, yeah.
And then they all laughed so
870
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:57,700
much of me like they found it
hilarious.
871
00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,000
Like Aussie, just trying to trap
me.
872
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,500
This question.
I had no idea.
873
00:38:00,500 --> 00:38:04,400
I took a gamble, I do want to be
uncool, and then they just rinse
874
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,900
me, and I would read as
anything.
875
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:07,900
And I just, you know, try to
play it off, classic thing.
876
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,700
I was most kids would laugh and
cry.
877
00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:12,200
I'd be like, I take it on the
chin, but inside dying, you
878
00:38:12,207 --> 00:38:15,500
know, of embarrassment.
And yeah, never forget that.
879
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,200
Never forget that, that taught
me a lesson there.
880
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,800
That's like the most extreme
version of when you don't hear
881
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,600
someone and you just guess.
Um, so yeah.
882
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:29,100
And your hope, you hope, A show.
What's the time?
883
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,000
What's the time?
Sorry?
884
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:33,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't hear
him saying?
885
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,100
Yeah, I'm on my period.
Yeah.
886
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:37,600
Started it in your six.
Thank you for that embarrassing.
887
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,000
But I wish they were like old
enough to kind of keep the choke
888
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
going further than one moment
and just try a kneecap yeah.
889
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,600
Fine actually it's fine.
Yeah, it keeps me on get me to
890
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,900
like go and show in town of on
the class that you just like,
891
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:54,000
completely embarrassed myself,
man.
892
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,200
Well, it's funny.
You should say that because this
893
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,400
is another thing that kind of X
into my Teaching.
894
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,900
Right?
Because I kind of I sometimes
895
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,700
forget the kind of kid I was,
right?
896
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,700
Because I had a very like,
almost two very different
897
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,300
primers or experiences from when
before I moved house and down
898
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:12,900
here, too.
When I was up north, right,
899
00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:16,300
because it was basically infant
school and set and Junior
900
00:39:16,300 --> 00:39:17,100
School.
Yep.
901
00:39:17,300 --> 00:39:20,800
So it beforehand.
So, after when we came down
902
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,700
here, like I said, I've got into
football, I would say how you
903
00:39:23,700 --> 00:39:27,300
describe much more of a classic
lad, as much as I hate, that
904
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:28,300
kind of terminology.
Elegy.
905
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,000
But you know it into the
football sporty still very very
906
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,100
much into learning, absolutely
love learning but that was kind
907
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:38,100
of from when I was an infant
school because I was very very
908
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,700
awkward and I know you always
make this joke.
909
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,900
Very awkward as a child.
Yeah.
910
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:43,200
Okay.
Just um quite awkward in
911
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,600
general, you know that
especially in like new
912
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,000
situations with new people, I'm
very like a kind of compensate
913
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,200
for it sometimes trying to be
over-the-top and funnier than
914
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,600
that but like I am actually
awkward.
915
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,300
I definitely don't overthink
everything.
916
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,600
No no no definitely not
definitely don't think
917
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,600
everything waves from thinking.
Oh my In this, I need to say
918
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,000
something now us because they're
going to think.
919
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,600
I'm like, no, not me.
And you can tell, by the way I'm
920
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,400
rambling, this isn't definitely
not a representation.
921
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,500
What goes on in my head when I'm
with new people, definitely.
922
00:40:07,700 --> 00:40:10,700
But anyway, before I move down,
I was that kid.
923
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:12,700
I was that kid who didn't want
to go outside?
924
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:14,900
Crippling like anxiety about
going outside because I have
925
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:18,300
like one or two friends maximum
and if they didn't want to play,
926
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,200
what I was playing.
I was the kind of kid who really
927
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,200
struggled to find someone else
to play with, and we see that
928
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,700
now.
Don't worry, it's like, oh, but
929
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:26,200
they don't want to play with me
and I think as adults, sometimes
930
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,600
we can just like, oh, we'll find
someone else.
931
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:29,500
Like, but it was horrible for me
to do that.
932
00:40:29,500 --> 00:40:31,400
I didn't want to just go and
find someone else, it wasn't as
933
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,400
easy as that for me, it was
actually really scary.
934
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,100
So I to be the kid who the
teachers would take time.
935
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,200
I don't remember these teachers
unfortunately, but there is a
936
00:40:39,207 --> 00:40:40,500
picture.
I'm going to dig it out and put
937
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:44,300
it on Instagram.
There is a picture because I was
938
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:47,000
obsessed with maths, right?
As a child.
939
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,600
As a young kid before I went to
school, I started learning my
940
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,300
times tables.
No, my addition facts.
941
00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:53,300
And it was just like my hobby
before I went to school.
942
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:55,200
Yeah.
So I kind of knew all like the
943
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,800
reception year one stuff just
because it's what I did.
944
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,900
My granddad.
He tests me out and we just do
945
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:02,800
that together, right?
So, I was quite, I was just a
946
00:41:02,808 --> 00:41:06,100
bit ahead on maps, basically,
and I would stay in it break
947
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:09,500
times and I do the registers for
the whole school and when I say
948
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:13,100
do the registers, what I mean
is, I would take all the paper
949
00:41:13,100 --> 00:41:16,200
registers because they were back
then and I would work out the
950
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,200
percentages of their attendance,
though.
951
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,500
I preach kid.
Yeah.
952
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:22,600
So I'd be doing that for the
office, they'd obviously looking
953
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,100
back.
They clearly did it as well, but
954
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,400
they let me think I was doing
it.
955
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,800
Yeah, and I'll be working at the
percentage attendance reached
956
00:41:27,900 --> 00:41:30,000
Each class and stuff.
And but they'd always find
957
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,800
something for me to do where I
didn't feel like a burden.
958
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,000
I didn't feel bad that I was in,
I felt like I was doing a job
959
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:37,800
for them.
Right?
960
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,900
So I felt like I was doing them
a favor and really how annoying
961
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,700
is that when you just want your
break time in the kid won't go
962
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,700
out and you're just like, oh,
but they did that and made me
963
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:50,100
not feel at all guilty for it.
Like, did it for me?
964
00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:51,800
Let me do it.
Let me feel comfortable.
965
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,600
And also, I remember, I'd go on
and check the weather on the
966
00:41:55,607 --> 00:41:57,600
computer, and there was this,
like, whether game, I don't
967
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,800
know.
I've already Vivid memories of
968
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,000
the map and the Sun and the
rain.
969
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,200
I can't remember whether it was
like live update or not, because
970
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,100
it was like the 90s or whether
it was just like, you know, a
971
00:42:07,100 --> 00:42:09,000
matching up game and you could
do it yourself.
972
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,600
But there's a picture of me, sat
at the computer, my chubby
973
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,700
cheeks.
My gray sweater I'm clicking
974
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,000
away.
Someone's always said look and I
975
00:42:15,008 --> 00:42:17,200
turn around.
There's a TA sat next to me.
976
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,400
Clearly wishes she was anywhere
else other than watching this
977
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,300
little kid, click on the map,
but it just again adds to that
978
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:27,200
kind of memory of doing that for
the kids.
979
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:30,400
Is beneficial to them.
Even if they don't exactly
980
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,300
remember it, but I know it
happened and that helped me
981
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:35,800
socially in a roundabout way too
much.
982
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,600
All we needs to go out and play
with his friends will actually
983
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,900
know in that moment that caused
me, huge anxiety.
984
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:41,400
So this was the best thing you
could do for me.
985
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,000
And I gradually learned to get
about it in a different way.
986
00:42:44,300 --> 00:42:47,700
And I just so grateful and
meanwhile in my school while she
987
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:50,700
was doing this, I was also
staying in break times making an
988
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:55,100
entire book of Digimon
characters so you can see why
989
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:58,000
later in life.
We just found each other The
990
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
friends, you know, those two
kids, we probably would have
991
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,300
been friends at school, maybe we
wouldn't have, could you be sat
992
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:03,700
there?
Checking the weather and I'd be
993
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:08,500
too busy drawing Digimon.
Well, here's the funny thing.
994
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,900
It's quite sunny day today.
Most people are out, teachers,
995
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:12,500
other day off.
We're starting to us.
996
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:15,700
Let's do our podcast and look at
the data afterwards.
997
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:17,600
Yeah, yeah, you're obsessed with
the data.
998
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,600
Dylan message me every day.
He's like, no everyone, Melissa
999
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,500
ne1 - Tyler.
Okay.
1000
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:23,400
Fair enough.
Although you're exaggerating.
1001
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,100
I do.
I am obsessed with the data, its
1002
00:43:25,100 --> 00:43:26,400
interests.
I like it.
1003
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Okay, listen.
This is Six year old Dylan
1004
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,800
working at percentage attendance
for the people coming through,
1005
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,300
on the podcast.
Okay, I'm working at the
1006
00:43:32,308 --> 00:43:35,100
percentage retention cable,
isn't there?
1007
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:37,900
Like shut up, stop talking.
If three out of the four
1008
00:43:37,900 --> 00:43:40,000
listeners, listen what
percentage of listeners to we
1009
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,900
have listening?
Oh well that's all they'll have
1010
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:43,300
to write into us all to of.
Come on.
1011
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,000
That was for you.
Ok, its for the listeners now
1012
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,500
that challenge.
Oh okay.
1013
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,800
Yeah, I can't possibly work that
out there so no way because this
1014
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,500
is a percentage.
We don't do that for me school
1015
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,600
too hard.
Do you you know the memes that
1016
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,300
you see online of primary
school?
1017
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,100
And I find them so funny because
they're still true.
1018
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:05,700
Yeah, they are still true.
But we started off last week
1019
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,000
with the whole paper towel
thing, right?
1020
00:44:08,100 --> 00:44:10,900
Can confirm that?
That Stella thing like if a
1021
00:44:10,908 --> 00:44:13,700
child has a graze, it just the
psychological trick to them to.
1022
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:16,700
I'll just put a wet paper towel
on it and it didn't work of the
1023
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,400
time.
The only thing I will say is we
1024
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,600
have kind of upgraded.
Help me with like, bumps and
1025
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,300
stuff.
We have ice packs now in the
1026
00:44:22,308 --> 00:44:23,300
fridge.
That's true.
1027
00:44:23,500 --> 00:44:24,500
They're still there.
Still blue.
1028
00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:27,200
They still blue.
There's so many of those memes
1029
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,600
are actually so true.
Still aren't they can I name a
1030
00:44:29,607 --> 00:44:31,100
couple of them?
I get the listeners to ya.
1031
00:44:31,100 --> 00:44:33,300
Think about this, right?
So you can close your eyes, take
1032
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:35,200
yourself back to Primus car,
tell you, what is still in our
1033
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,400
schools right now, every single
School across the country.
1034
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,100
You remember them.
Ready number one, little wooden
1035
00:44:41,100 --> 00:44:43,100
benches with hooks on the end
that.
1036
00:44:43,100 --> 00:44:46,500
Yes, and also used for PE you
turn upside down, sometimes walk
1037
00:44:46,500 --> 00:44:48,500
along the thin end, they're
still there.
1038
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,200
They're around, same ones as
well.
1039
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,300
They've not there us, they are
built so, solid, I've not
1040
00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:54,400
changed number two, another
piece.
1041
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,400
Thing, the Big Wall Equipment
came out ever in the 2000s.
1042
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,900
Every school ever had the
funding to do this, big Wall
1043
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:03,300
Equipment, you pull it out, best
bit about them is most schools
1044
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:04,800
don't ever use them.
They're just this beautiful
1045
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,700
furniture for the first is to
see if you get them out there.
1046
00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:10,500
Real treat and one more thing
for you just for some reason I
1047
00:45:10,508 --> 00:45:14,100
think of this in a bit obscure.
Multicolored beanbags.
1048
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,100
Just they're still there.
We still use them, they're still
1049
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:19,900
at the dish.
The say again that they must be
1050
00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:21,500
the same ones.
They don't get report.
1051
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,500
I've got one more forever.
Go on one more.
1052
00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:26,400
The rainbow tarpaulin the big
Rain?
1053
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:30,300
Go sir.
Yeah, he's still the same
1054
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,000
basically.
Just time the 90s when school
1055
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,600
got funding, we're still
grappling onto all that stuff we
1056
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,500
bought.
Then we are like clinging on to
1057
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:39,000
like oh my God.
You remember when you're at
1058
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,900
school and remember remember
really vividly?
1059
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:44,100
Obviously all of those beautiful
Displays the teachers put time
1060
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:46,400
up for doing cool.
Us neither, but we still have to
1061
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,200
do them all the time.
They look exactly the same.
1062
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,400
They still take up so much time.
They look honestly, the same
1063
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,500
bourdette.
That little little wavy thing
1064
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,700
colored background, still there.
The classrooms, just let the
1065
00:45:56,700 --> 00:46:00,100
same.
Just does anyone this thing?
1066
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:05,200
Remember one single classroom
display because if you don't if
1067
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,600
you don't let us know if you do
keep it to yourself.
1068
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,600
Yeah.
I feel bad now.
1069
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,800
Any one listen to this upper
slopes assignments at this
1070
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,300
place?
I'm sure your kids do.
1071
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:18,600
Look at them, I do.
Yeah, I'm sure they did notice
1072
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,800
that many fuel.
If you're watching the real you
1073
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,100
can definitely see my opinion.
Is that they absolutely will.
1074
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:28,200
Remember all that hard work you
put into those this space that.
1075
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,500
Yeah.
Well, they will remember it.
1076
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,500
Hmm, all of it.
Anyway, let's move on.
1077
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,500
Okay, everyone will it just
before we finish up, because we
1078
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:40,700
are going to do a short one this
week for the stories.
1079
00:46:40,700 --> 00:46:42,700
Obviously, if you guys,
hopefully, you enjoyed those
1080
00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:45,600
Thing and like hating said, do
get in touch with us and I just
1081
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,500
want to ask one more time as I
always do and I've been laying
1082
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:52,100
off it lately.
I've been a good boy but your
1083
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:55,300
reviews go so far for us on our
streaming platform, special on
1084
00:46:55,300 --> 00:46:57,500
Spotify, really building up
those five star reviews.
1085
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:00,700
So if you could review, if you
could follow, if you could hit
1086
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:03,700
their notification Bell, you'll
get notified as soon as new
1087
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:06,100
episodes drop.
And I'll be as simple as
1088
00:47:06,100 --> 00:47:09,700
clicking on a button to listen
to our latest episode.
1089
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:13,000
I think that was a really nice
episode head and I know We come
1090
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,500
back to our Roots here.
Slightly shorter one, but I
1091
00:47:15,508 --> 00:47:18,600
think it's to the point and I
think it's nice to reflect every
1092
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,600
now and then, isn't it on the
kind of impact we're having a
1093
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,000
teacher's.
It is very important, I think in
1094
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,200
our jobs to do that because it
has definitely made me think
1095
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,300
again, it's rooted me back down
to what I liked, what I love
1096
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,200
about this job.
And what I enjoyed as a kid,
1097
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,700
which does quite often, or at
least, it used to a lot Inspire.
1098
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,400
The kind of things I do at
school, and I need the
1099
00:47:36,408 --> 00:47:38,900
inspiration again.
I'll, I will now go away and I
1100
00:47:38,900 --> 00:47:41,500
genuinely reckon, I'll probably
do a few things now in the next
1101
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:43,700
couple of months.
Maybe I wouldn't Plan before,
1102
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:46,600
but because I'm thinking about
it again, just making special
1103
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,700
moments for the children and
maybe trying to get outside a
1104
00:47:48,700 --> 00:47:51,200
bit more or go and do something
that really enjoyable, really
1105
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,800
memorable.
So, yeah, I'm glad we had this
1106
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,100
discussion, and it's made me
feel good.
1107
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:57,500
I'm going to finish this day
now, feeling quite positive and
1108
00:47:57,700 --> 00:47:59,900
that's good.
Happy memories really positive.
1109
00:47:59,900 --> 00:48:03,200
And one other thing, this was
our 10th episode.
1110
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,600
By the way, I know it's like,
you know, it's not the 50th,
1111
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,700
it's not a hundreth, but it's a
big deal for us.
1112
00:48:07,700 --> 00:48:10,000
And we just want to say a huge.

base and its really, really
1115
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,100
strong.
Now we all know we joke about
1116
00:48:18,100 --> 00:48:20,700

so many people who still

1127
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,000
And hopefully this week which
was jam-packed just with stories
1128
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,500
and anecdotes and how Hayden got
bald, which is what we've all
1129
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:56,400
been waiting for all this time.
They're all.
1130
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,000
I'll say before we do finish up
Hayden is that we still haven't
1131
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,900
heard this.
Pretty stick story is becoming a
1132
00:49:01,908 --> 00:49:04,100
bit of a thing.
Now, when we go to save feature,
1133
00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:05,300
when are we going to admit it to
them?
1134
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,700
I was just going to admit what?
Well, you know, I don't say it
1135
00:49:09,700 --> 00:49:11,100
when we could wait one second.
One second.
1136
00:49:11,100 --> 00:49:14,200
Post to pause the podcast was,
like, last viewport unpaused.
1137
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,300
Yeah, it's not anymore.
What he did.
1138
00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:17,600
I can't tell them.
There's no Prince viktor's.
1139
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,000
Listen, we've got a problem
because people are remembering,
1140
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,000
we've ignored it on purpose, for
a cup of episodes now.
1141
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:24,600
But people are asking again,
what about that?
1142
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,500
Precinct story.
We don't have one Dylan.
1143
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:28,700
We don't have one.
No, we what we did?
1144
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:31,100
We just do you've played this
off for so many episodes and we
1145
00:49:31,100 --> 00:49:32,300
don't even have one what we
gonna do.
1146
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:34,600
There's some, there's some
that's a problem for our future
1147
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,400
Cellar.
Let's play Say let's press play
1148
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,700

Pause there.
We were just having a drink, the
1153
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:49,900
Princeton stories coming up.
It's epic.
1154
00:49:49,900 --> 00:49:52,400
It is a sweet story.
I can't honestly.
1155
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,400
Dylan, can't wait to tell it to
you because it's mainly based on
1156
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:58,100
his experiences.
So, listen in the future because
1157
00:49:58,100 --> 00:50:00,400

awesome.

Bye guys.
See you in episode 11.
