Ep 34: Becoming A Parent - Sleep Deprivation, Projectile Vomiting & Celebrating Farts!

1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:01,720
Hello everyone.
Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:01,730 --> 00:00:03,660
of Teach, Sleep, Repeat.
My name is Dylan.

3
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:06,260
And my name is Hayden.
Welcome to Take two Back Take

4
00:00:06,270 --> 00:00:10,320
two.
Dylan has so tired, but we've

5
00:00:10,330 --> 00:00:12,920
already had to restart this
episode because we got about 3

6
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,180
minutes in.
But listen, there's been a lot

7
00:00:16,190 --> 00:00:18,160
going on.
What did you say earlier?

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,400
What you got baby brain.
But you haven't.

9
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:22,530
You haven't even done the birth
I've.

10
00:00:22,570 --> 00:00:25,110
I've got, I've got baby brain,
but I haven't even birthed the

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,850
baby.
I think.

12
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:31,170
I think baby brain just another
term for pure exhaustion.

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,780
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not really thinking straight.

14
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:35,010
You've had a few stories
already.

15
00:00:35,020 --> 00:00:38,130
Yeah, yeah.
I look forward to it, just we're

16
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:40,790
done straight in here.
Because obviously if he was to

17
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,050
ask me how's my week, I'd be
saying I don't know because I've

18
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:44,550
been floating through it in a
zombie.

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,840
He doesn't even know what day it
is.

20
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:48,180
You didn't the other day?
No, I don't remember what it

21
00:00:48,190 --> 00:00:49,570
was.
But you genuinely thought it was

22
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:50,790
a different day.
Yeah, I don't know.

23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,050
Sounds quite funny because what
is day Hayden when you don't

24
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:58,490
sleep?
Does your baby know what day?

25
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:01,830
No.
Does not know what day and night

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,440
is.
In fact, if anything prefers

27
00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:05,700
night, loves it.
That's just the way it, isn't

28
00:01:05,710 --> 00:01:06,870
it?
They get used to it.

29
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:08,800
Thank you for joining us.
It's been we had a whole week

30
00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:11,180
off.
So if you are watching this as

31
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:12,910
the episodes come out, thanks
for coming back.

32
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:15,600
Dylan's been a little bit busy.
Little bit busy.

33
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,050
Moving house?
Yeah, you can't mind about that

34
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:21,650
anymore.
You got another thing now, Yeah.

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,240
That's why I always say to
people, why do one cripplingly

36
00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:26,570
stressful thing when you can do
2?

37
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:30,510
You can do 2 or or.
Why do 2?

38
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,830
Cripplingly could do three
because Ofsted called this week.

39
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:36,920
What were they doing?
A deep, I mean.

40
00:01:37,210 --> 00:01:38,860
It all is.
It was it our subject?

41
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:40,220
Was it it?
Was our subject.

42
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:42,640
It was maths, so that was good.
That was crazy by the way, when

43
00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:43,940
you messaged me.
I know we're gonna do a hard

44
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:48,180
episode in the future you know
once reports out and we can dive

45
00:01:48,190 --> 00:01:51,480
more into what a deep dive looks
like and our experience with it.

46
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:53,620
But on the whole it was quite
positive I.

47
00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:55,900
Thought really?
I mean, we just for context,

48
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:57,270
we're recording this on
Wednesday.

49
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,740
We had offered in today and
yesterday, so we have literally

50
00:02:00,750 --> 00:02:03,500
just finished with them.
But yeah, obviously Dylan's on

51
00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:08,259
paternity leave and we're.
Where mathletes together and we

52
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:11,290
were deep dived in maths So I
text Dylan in the morning be

53
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,900
like you've had the call
thinking I can't believe you're

54
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:17,110
off.
We joked about it before.

55
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,800
We literally said before I was
on maternity leave because I'm

56
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:22,420
off for two weeks and then in
about a month you'll be off for

57
00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:26,280
two weeks and we were like, I
bet, I bet they come during one

58
00:02:26,290 --> 00:02:27,170
of those two week.
Periods.

59
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:28,260
And they literally did
immediately.

60
00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:30,560
I couldn't believe it when you
told me, but the context for

61
00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:33,420
people, absolutely no pressure
from school for me to do

62
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:35,680
anything.
No pressure whatsoever.

63
00:02:35,730 --> 00:02:37,840
Just him putting out my
heartstrings.

64
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:39,790
Ohh, you've only got a 10 day
old, aren't you?

65
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Come in.
Yeah.

66
00:02:40,570 --> 00:02:42,450
Honestly.
Sorry.

67
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:44,200
Not slept much.
You come in and do it anyway.

68
00:02:44,270 --> 00:02:47,010
I I want that.
No, no, I'm joking.

69
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:52,380
They came in for the maths talk.
For me it was And for you I

70
00:02:52,390 --> 00:02:56,070
don't wanna leave in the lurch.
But it was it was it was a good

71
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,470
experience.
I thought, yeah, not too much

72
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,370
detail.
Now we'll we'll find out how or

73
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,130
when.
We'll get the report and

74
00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:03,190
everything, and as you probably
know, if you work in schools,

75
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,590
it's all official.
We have to.

76
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,870
But I had some people saying to
me, no, why are you in?

77
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,030
I was like, no, I really
understand that because it was

78
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,560
anyone else.
I'd be saying the same thing.

79
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,380
And if I was just, it wasn't
leaving a subject, I absolutely

80
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:18,430
would not have come in.
And I think even maybe even if

81
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,020
it was, it's me doing something.
I kind of would have been like,

82
00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:23,960
no, sorry, tough, but I deep
dive something else.

83
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,240
I don't want to leave you in the
lurch knowing that the night

84
00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:28,980
before you were doing all this
stuff and and the fact that

85
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:31,920
we've worked on it so much
together, I was like for three

86
00:03:31,930 --> 00:03:34,200
hours like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Baby was fine.

87
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:35,760
It was with mum and Gran at
home.

88
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,520
No.
Problem and realistically but

89
00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:40,220
paternity leave it, like we said
last week is so short anyway,

90
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,960
it's going to be a week till you
have to start getting used to

91
00:03:42,970 --> 00:03:44,400
coming in anyway.
So it's a bit of practise

92
00:03:44,410 --> 00:03:46,310
classic.
You know what we talked about

93
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,560
before about being really
supportive and stuff?

94
00:03:48,990 --> 00:03:50,900
Didn't ask.
Didn't ask me to come in at all.

95
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:54,000
Very grateful that I did.
And give me two, four days back,

96
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:55,680
yeah.
So, so you're not even losing

97
00:03:55,690 --> 00:03:56,860
the.
I'm not losing anything at all.

98
00:03:56,870 --> 00:03:57,540
Yeah.
Yeah.

99
00:03:57,590 --> 00:04:01,590
So yeah, I was going to come in,
but yeah, this episode is all

100
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,270
about me.
Apparently you told me it was.

101
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,410
Well, I think the title it might
change by the time it comes out,

102
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:09,530
but the title is gonna be
Dylan's now a parent Well.

103
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:12,390
So yeah, I'm just gonna dive
into your experiences, really,

104
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,820
because I've not spoken to you
lots the last couple of weeks.

105
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:17,730
We've had bits and bobs and you
said to me the other day that

106
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:20,320
you have multiple times gone to
message me and then not, and I

107
00:04:20,329 --> 00:04:21,660
was like could have done with
that.

108
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:25,920
Let's try for once and I still
message him loads I I look back

109
00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:29,090
and I'm still message you load.
It's particularly with work to

110
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,630
be fair, obviously we so mean as
you probably know from other

111
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,350
episodes we have a business
together as well and I really,

112
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,590
really, really wanted as his
business partner to just not

113
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,850
bombard him with anything
business related for at least

114
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:42,580
two weeks.
I can we can do, I can deal with

115
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:44,120
it.
So anyway.

116
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:47,980
Yeah, yeah.
And I realised after two weeks I

117
00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:50,060
didn't want to message him once
about it anyway, because I never

118
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:53,790
do.
Because nothing.

119
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Yeah, you know what's gonna
happen when you go?

120
00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:00,280
Yeah, it's got your number.
It goes you.

121
00:05:00,610 --> 00:05:03,040
It was hard though, genuinely
because I did when I was

122
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:05,760
thinking leave him alone,
because instead all I got from

123
00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:08,600
you were random tick tocks.
Yeah, it was George Ran.

124
00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:10,280
Into the odd meme to make sure
you're alive.

125
00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:14,240
But yeah, it's been like, jokes
aside, it's such a being a

126
00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:17,120
parent, right?
It's such a strange thing.

127
00:05:17,130 --> 00:05:18,410
I wouldn't know.
You wouldn't know.

128
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,510
Listen, do you know what
condescending person Who?

129
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,530
I said you wouldn't.
You.

130
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:23,730
You.
Until you've got your own, you

131
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:25,090
wouldn't know you would that
person.

132
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:26,930
No, no, Until you've got, you
wouldn't.

133
00:05:26,940 --> 00:05:34,120
Anyway, it's so strange because
I love him is so immediately

134
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,920
he's done nothing and I love him
so well.

135
00:05:38,010 --> 00:05:41,680
He like moves his lip and I'm
like ohh, I love him again.

136
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,580
The business.
I love it.

137
00:05:49,090 --> 00:05:50,920
It must be a price.
OK.

138
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:54,520
But yeah, he's done nothing and
I love him and I'm like, oh, I

139
00:05:54,530 --> 00:05:57,900
wanna just squeeze you and he
can fart and I'm like, ohh go on

140
00:05:57,910 --> 00:05:59,160
son.
And like fart.

141
00:05:59,170 --> 00:06:01,150
I love it.
And when you're like when you

142
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,620
when you when you're burping him
and he burps, it's like getting

143
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:04,840
there.
Did you have this same energy

144
00:06:04,850 --> 00:06:07,010
earlier when we when you were
going to come round to record

145
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:09,170
the podcast?
It was late because you said oh,

146
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:11,320
he's just projectile vomited
everywhere.

147
00:06:11,330 --> 00:06:15,450
I'll be another 10 down, get it
up cause I'm leaving.

148
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,180
Tell me right bye.
No.

149
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:21,840
But again, jokes aside, it's
unbelievable.

150
00:06:21,970 --> 00:06:25,430
But and people might not like
what I'm about to say it right,

151
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:28,140
because it's the best thing I've
ever done and I would never ever

152
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:30,540
change it.
And it's unreal, But it's

153
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:32,430
objectively the worst thing that
happened.

154
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,230
That sounds horrible, right?
Imagine for a second that

155
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,740
instead of a newborn baby, a
bundle of joy that you love of

156
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:43,620
all your heart, which I love my
son so much.

157
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,450
And it's just the best thing
that's ever happened, right?

158
00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:48,040
Replace that with, like, an
inanimate object.

159
00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:51,420
OK, which is just a BLOB, which
you can't drop.

160
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:54,590
You've got to really look after
and watch carefully right when

161
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,100
it breathes.
It sounds like a tractor.

162
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,240
And you're thinking, is that, is
that OK?

163
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,730
OK, I can't sleep because he's
either awake and keeping me up

164
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:04,330
or I think he's choking on
something.

165
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,490
And then when he's quiet, I'm
like, why is he quiet?

166
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:09,240
And I'm staring at his belly
moving and really study up and

167
00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:11,040
down.
But yeah, imagine it's just this

168
00:07:11,050 --> 00:07:13,090
BLOB, right?
You've got to really carefully

169
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,470
handle it.
It cries when it's not being

170
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,550
handled, right.
It wakes you up every three

171
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,170
hours.
And for those three hours,

172
00:07:19,180 --> 00:07:22,230
you've got to carry this weight
in your arm and feed it, right?

173
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,450
If it was just an inanimate
object would be going on about

174
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:28,640
how my life is awful.
Yeah.

175
00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:30,770
So it's just really weird
paradox.

176
00:07:30,970 --> 00:07:33,580
And I get it when people say
because it was really annoying.

177
00:07:33,590 --> 00:07:35,560
And I think you're still in that
same boat when you're pregnant

178
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:38,610
and you're waiting for your
child to come when people are.

179
00:07:38,620 --> 00:07:40,960
Ohh, just you wait.
Yeah.

180
00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:45,100
Just did we ever mention that?
Yeah, I'm frustrated, but now

181
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:48,710
I've done it.
I get what they mean, but I

182
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,250
would always, always preface it
with, but it's not.

183
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,230
It's not in that an object.
Like you can say Yeah, OK, yeah,

184
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,520
you are up all night.
Yeah.

185
00:07:56,530 --> 00:07:58,250
It is horribly stressful.
Yeah.

186
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:00,540
Suddenly, suddenly you're not
the most important thing in the

187
00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:01,690
world.
Yeah, you.

188
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,670
I just care about him.
And it's amazing.

189
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,750
Like, I can't give you saying
it's like what you're saying is

190
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:11,360
if you had no emotions, Yeah,
from a really objective point of

191
00:08:11,370 --> 00:08:13,390
view, if you looked at it was
just.

192
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,820
You get two options of life.
One of them you get loads of

193
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:17,590
free time and the other one you
don't.

194
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,810
And you have to look after this
thing.

195
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:20,630
Yeah, right.
Yeah, you'd be like, well, that

196
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,130
one, but but you know, here's
what you get out of it.

197
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,730
You get to grow your own human.
Who is you?

198
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:29,690
Listen, I had one of those
little packs when I was like

199
00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:36,110
mobile sprinkle those powder.
Yeah, you do grow your own

200
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,620
humans.
And as a kid I'd be like, this

201
00:08:37,630 --> 00:08:39,549
is going to be sick.
You put it in water and it

202
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600
would, it would go up to like
120% the size that it was.

203
00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:46,010
It was like, is that That's what
happened to him.

204
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:48,240
A bath.
True.

205
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:55,260
But yeah, I mean, like the the
point being, Oh my And you know

206
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,890
mums recovery.
Yeah.

207
00:08:57,940 --> 00:09:00,790
So it is absolutely not.
I love it.

208
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,960
I I do everything for him.
But it's long like when you're

209
00:09:04,970 --> 00:09:06,410
the only one who can carry and
move him.

210
00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:08,130
Yeah.
The only one who can change him.

211
00:09:08,180 --> 00:09:09,990
You're the only one who can do
anything in the house.

212
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,970
Had a lot of support thankfully
from family and stuff.

213
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,250
But yeah it's tough.
Like last night for example from

214
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,210
he fed about 11 and he was awake
until half two.

215
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,470
He was awake until his next
feed, right, like just just

216
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,530
awake and and to the point where
if you put him down.

217
00:09:32,110 --> 00:09:36,130
Is that Tasmanian devil at the
time?

218
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:40,350
But they do make these sounds
like it's like a warthog and

219
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,300
you're like, are you OK?
And you pick them up and it

220
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:43,360
stops.
Is that normal?

221
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,840
OK, so I think what he's learned
is if you just makes these

222
00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:49,170
horrendous sounds, he gets
picked.

223
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:49,720
Up.
Yeah.

224
00:09:49,730 --> 00:09:50,940
Well, no.
Well, we learned, didn't we?

225
00:09:50,950 --> 00:09:54,150
On our course, we learned that
babies don't have the ability to

226
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,670
manipulate.
Yeah, but it.

227
00:09:56,420 --> 00:09:58,120
Didn't feel like, was it six
months or something?

228
00:09:58,130 --> 00:09:59,590
He's put it on my heartstrings
already.

229
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,370
Yeah.
And you know, it's just, it's

230
00:10:02,380 --> 00:10:06,970
tough, it's amazing and I
already can't wait for the

231
00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:13,370
milestones and stuff and when he
starts talking.

232
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:17,570
My first job and he leaves home.
I can't wait.

233
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:25,180
Ohh man ohh yeah how are?
You feeling we'll have to look

234
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:27,870
forward to?
Yeah, because obviously you're

235
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,000
due in about a month and I.
Think it'll be sooner?

236
00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:34,740
Yeah, you saying earlier?
I have a feeling it's gonna be

237
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:36,290
about two weeks.
Wow, that's crazy.

238
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:38,330
So why?
I just look at Lauren and she's

239
00:10:38,340 --> 00:10:40,660
just, she's ready.
I'm just like, oh man, she's so

240
00:10:40,670 --> 00:10:42,120
ready.
Excited.

241
00:10:42,210 --> 00:10:44,900
How do you feel?
So do you.

242
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:48,740
Is us having our baby has that?
Like kind of, yeah.

243
00:10:49,630 --> 00:10:51,820
Yeah.
It's weird cause every time I

244
00:10:51,830 --> 00:10:54,370
talk to him he's in this
delirious state and he just

245
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,580
talking about that.
We've got we'll come back to

246
00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:59,730
this delirium story.
We've gotta talk about that

247
00:11:00,010 --> 00:11:04,170
dinner.
They said this episode is going

248
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:06,060
to make no sense.
I'm sorry if we're just going to

249
00:11:06,070 --> 00:11:08,670
just be all over the place.
I've got Ofsted my brains

250
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,370
frazzled.
These brain has been frazzled

251
00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:12,690
for two weeks.
I managed to work around and

252
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:14,630
talk to Ofsted Man.
Ofsted, man.

253
00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:18,220
We're doing it.
We're on our third layer of

254
00:11:18,230 --> 00:11:20,560
story that we've not finished.
Let's go back, let's go back to

255
00:11:20,570 --> 00:11:22,650
the second layer delivery very
quickly though.

256
00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:26,560
I just called him Ofsted, man,
like it's a C Milan or

257
00:11:26,570 --> 00:11:29,310
something.
He was wearing a Cape.

258
00:11:30,070 --> 00:11:32,480
That was weird.
He did fly around the room.

259
00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:34,920
It was very.
Odd anyway.

260
00:11:34,930 --> 00:11:36,680
Where?
We delirium, right?

261
00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:40,700
God, context.
I am a delirious sleeper.

262
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:47,220
Like I have a huge history of
hallucinations while I sleep.

263
00:11:47,270 --> 00:11:50,280
Very, very common for me to wake
up in the night and think

264
00:11:50,290 --> 00:11:53,060
there's a person stood in the
room and really believe that

265
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:56,430
he's there to, like, murder me
or there's like a massive spider

266
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,340
along the floor and you know, it
takes like 10 seconds.

267
00:11:59,350 --> 00:12:01,180
To snap out of my favourite My
favourite one is the mouse.

268
00:12:01,230 --> 00:12:03,720
The mouse when you had like the
mouse gone on tightropes.

269
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,750
But I think there's no real yeah
like and then what What's always

270
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,500
really really embarrassing right
is I've broken not enough.

271
00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:16,490
Right.
So she and she she has she

272
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:17,280
different Lauren.
Yeah.

273
00:12:17,290 --> 00:12:24,140
She, no, she, she he knows me,
she ignores me and I'm like, I

274
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:27,160
get really annoyed at her.
Lauren, there's a rat in the

275
00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:31,090
room and he's on a unicycle.
Look at him.

276
00:12:31,540 --> 00:12:34,390
She ignores me, obviously.
And there's this moment of

277
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,680
realisation always where I'm
like stood up, like my heart's

278
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:39,040
racing.
Now I'm like ready to do

279
00:12:39,050 --> 00:12:41,600
something and I slowly realised
that that was just a dressing

280
00:12:41,610 --> 00:12:44,200
gown and not a person.
With that, yeah, yeah, yeah.

281
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:47,830
Your brain starts to recognise
it's not face, that's just ohh

282
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,550
yeah that is just that's.
Just so, So what?

283
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,370
What's happened?
What's happened recently in your

284
00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:56,430
sleep deprived state, having had
a, I don't ever mention having

285
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,550
had a child and moved out and
moved house and Ofsted.

286
00:13:01,130 --> 00:13:10,440
My I I think I worked out for
the first four days of his life,

287
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:13,670
Rory's little Rory.
For the first four days of his

288
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,900
life, I slept for about 10
hours.

289
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,590
Right.
And digital in total.

290
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,580
Yeah, in total.
And before that, I'd had two

291
00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:29,100
nights slept on that bloody blue
couch thing.

292
00:13:29,110 --> 00:13:32,700
Yeah, in the hospital.
So when I got home with the

293
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:37,670
baby, I hadn't been vertical in
about 72 hours, right.

294
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,820
Trying to go to sleep.
I just like somehow trying to

295
00:13:41,830 --> 00:13:43,250
lie down.
But like, your backs up.

296
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:44,890
Yeah, yeah.
It's like your neck goes back.

297
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:48,350
It's horrible.
So yeah, I'd say for about 10

298
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,100
hours in four days.
And my brain then had decided

299
00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:57,250
clearly just to go into a mode
where I was basically asleep.

300
00:13:57,260 --> 00:14:01,380
Awake, right.
Essentially, where I was 60%

301
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:04,130
asleep and 40% awake, but
constantly, Yeah, because that's

302
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,030
my brain got something down
because otherwise we're gonna go

303
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,290
into like a breakdown in a
minute.

304
00:14:08,580 --> 00:14:11,910
So I was just zombie state and
and Lauren would say things like

305
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,490
she would just watch me walk and
be like he's not OK.

306
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:19,730
He's like nearly walking into a
fridge and just she asked me

307
00:14:19,740 --> 00:14:22,480
like, oh, can you pass me a
muslin like to wipe his mouth

308
00:14:22,530 --> 00:14:24,860
And I'd just give her her phone
Yeah, her mobile.

309
00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:26,950
There's that.
And I just like, but I was

310
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,730
awake.
So just in this weird

311
00:14:29,490 --> 00:14:35,300
culminated, I think I dozed like
a 10 minute nap and but we were

312
00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:37,080
like in the middle of doing
something, like literally in the

313
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:38,710
middle of changing him when I
was supposed to be, like,

314
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,600
getting food or something and
I'd fall asleep, just fall

315
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:44,410
asleep.
And I woke up and I was like,

316
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:48,170
Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, We don't
have to do that anymore.

317
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:50,810
She's like, what?
Lauren?

318
00:14:50,820 --> 00:14:52,080
I was getting annoyed straight
away.

319
00:14:52,090 --> 00:14:53,550
I was like, what do you mean?
What?

320
00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:55,270
The thing that we're both
thinking about.

321
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,470
Obviously she didn't have a clue
in my head.

322
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,770
It was clear as day is like,
what do you mean?

323
00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:00,250
What?
We don't have to do it anymore.

324
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:01,950
We don't have to build the house
when we pick him up.

325
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:04,140
We don't have to build the house
anymore.

326
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,740
No, She's like, what do you
mean?

327
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:09,030
What do you mean?
The matchsticks, the light, the

328
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,570
straight lines.
We don't need to build the house

329
00:15:11,580 --> 00:15:13,590
out of the straight line.
We don't need to use them when

330
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,160
we pick him up.
It's OK now.

331
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:18,980
And I was getting annoyed
because in my head, I was

332
00:15:18,990 --> 00:15:21,140
thinking, you know, like when
you don't pull your pen off the

333
00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:22,090
paper.
Hmm.

334
00:15:22,270 --> 00:15:25,460
And you can make like, an
envelope, like, science looks

335
00:15:25,470 --> 00:15:26,220
like a house.
Yeah.

336
00:15:26,230 --> 00:15:27,680
Yeah.
And I was thinking of that,

337
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:28,970
mate.
I've watched it in my head.

338
00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:31,240
And I was like, so relieved I
didn't have to make it when I

339
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:31,960
picked them up.
Yeah.

340
00:15:31,970 --> 00:15:33,800
Didn't mean anything.
But I was fully awake.

341
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:35,920
And I it was one of those
moments where I didn't step out

342
00:15:35,930 --> 00:15:36,450
of it.
Really.

343
00:15:36,490 --> 00:15:37,630
Yeah.
I was like the whole time.

344
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,290
I was like, really annoyed that
she didn't understand.

345
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:42,920
It does sound like that exact
moment, and there is a moment

346
00:15:42,930 --> 00:15:46,280
when you're falling asleep and
if you do happen to wake up

347
00:15:46,290 --> 00:15:47,840
again.
You will get a few seconds of

348
00:15:47,850 --> 00:15:49,500
still being in that moment where
like.

349
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,720
You're sort of half in reality
because you were thinking about

350
00:15:51,730 --> 00:15:54,500
something real, but then your
brain started drifting into that

351
00:15:54,510 --> 00:15:58,080
dream mode and and the reality
is just slowly transitioned into

352
00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:00,620
complete nonsense.
It sounds like you were just in

353
00:16:00,630 --> 00:16:03,580
that state completely, like you
weren't snapping out and only

354
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:06,310
like hours later did she tell me
about it.

355
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,870
And I was like, ohh, yeah, I
did.

356
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,370
I did say that, yeah.
And it is nonsense.

357
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,770
And we still don't have to.
Yeah, it's fine.

358
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,590
Takes away, Went downstairs.
No, like 10 matchstick houses.

359
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,490
Yeah, we don't have to tip it.
Was it was like what did you do

360
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:24,860
that was episode of The Simpsons
where Homer right below the wall

361
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:27,520
that's you go downstairs there's
matchsticks everywhere.

362
00:16:27,970 --> 00:16:29,480
Was it?
No, no TV and?

363
00:16:29,490 --> 00:16:32,540
No beer?
Yeah, make Homer go crazy.

364
00:16:32,590 --> 00:16:36,800
Don't mind if I do.
So yeah, I've been walking

365
00:16:36,810 --> 00:16:38,470
around like a zombie.
Yeah.

366
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:39,930
Yeah, it's great.
It's mad.

367
00:16:39,980 --> 00:16:42,690
It's mad.
And I suppose what I want to say

368
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,170
to you is like, it's still
unreal.

369
00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:47,650
Yeah, it's still unreal.
How are you feeling?

370
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,040
Because obviously you've got me
and I feel like sometimes

371
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:53,650
because I'm very transparent.
It's like, yeah, the pool looks

372
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:55,420
like tar.
And it's disgusting.

373
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,190
Yeah.
OK, yeah, yeah.

374
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,510
Whenever I change him, he wees
on me.

375
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,970
I.
Think you've been wholly

376
00:17:00,980 --> 00:17:02,070
positive.
That's good.

377
00:17:02,140 --> 00:17:03,450
I actually do.
I'll be honest.

378
00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:05,750
I think you've mentioned a few
of the things that are like.

379
00:17:05,869 --> 00:17:08,170
Cool, but you haven't even made
that negative about them.

380
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:10,010
But like, this is a matter of
fact.

381
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:11,890
Exactly.
A bit more like that rather than

382
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,589
Oh my God, this is so hard and
you've not done that at all.

383
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,520
I'm.
Did it flip something in you,

384
00:17:17,530 --> 00:17:18,190
though?
When?

385
00:17:19,190 --> 00:17:21,619
Because because we've been like
both been pregnant for a while.

386
00:17:21,630 --> 00:17:24,450
Yeah, is it?
Did did you feel like we entered

387
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:26,630
a new stage when up?
Well, when?

388
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,109
When?
Yeah.

389
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,520
Well, so when when you went into
like when we knew it was

390
00:17:29,530 --> 00:17:31,760
happening because we like, we
had a rough idea and I'll come

391
00:17:31,770 --> 00:17:32,990
to that again a bit more in a
minute.

392
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:36,580
When when we found out you you'd
had the baby.

393
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:38,730
Me and Lauren really did go into
like, OK.

394
00:17:39,370 --> 00:17:41,620
It's immediately about to happen
for us, yeah, it's it's

395
00:17:41,630 --> 00:17:44,260
immediate And we went to this
really weird panicky like let's

396
00:17:44,270 --> 00:17:46,190
get ready, let's go and do stuff
right now because it's like

397
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,670
tomorrow.
And then we sat back and well

398
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,300
hang on, technically it is 6
weeks time the the due date, but

399
00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:52,450
we did get a little bit of
revenge.

400
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:55,870
For a past thing.
So if you listen, no, I've never

401
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,550
mentioned this.
I've never mentioned this on the

402
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,280
podcast because we haven't
talked about being pregnant

403
00:17:59,290 --> 00:18:00,740
before.
OK, so when?

404
00:18:00,990 --> 00:18:02,660
When?
Me and my Lauren.

405
00:18:04,030 --> 00:18:05,330
No.
No, you didn't.

406
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,490
You didn't.
OK.

407
00:18:06,530 --> 00:18:10,600
Let me tell the story so.
This is mad.

408
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,370
This is so good.
This is my favourite story.

409
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:15,040
Ever.
So me and Lauren weren't the

410
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:17,350
first two people to find out
that we were pregnant.

411
00:18:18,260 --> 00:18:21,380
Dylan and and his partner Lauren
were the first people to find

412
00:18:21,390 --> 00:18:23,740
out that we were pregnant
because we went out for a meal

413
00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:27,190
with them one day and we'd
recently found out that they

414
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,030
were.
They were pregnant and.

415
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,030
And and we knew you were trying,
didn't we?

416
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:30,520
Yeah.
Yeah.

417
00:18:30,530 --> 00:18:33,180
So it was like very open.
Conversation with that kind of

418
00:18:33,190 --> 00:18:35,560
sort of close friendship, we
just have to talk about that

419
00:18:35,570 --> 00:18:38,230
anyway.
And we've done a pregnancy test

420
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160
in the morning.
And because we just we're like

421
00:18:41,170 --> 00:18:45,770
ohh maybe and and there was the
faintest and I'm talking the

422
00:18:45,780 --> 00:18:49,500
faintest line you've ever seen
second indicate their second

423
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:52,320
line to indicate pregnancy and
we were like and I've done COVID

424
00:18:52,330 --> 00:18:54,740
tests before where if you look
hard enough you can see that

425
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:57,650
little bit of red but then this
doesn't it's not it's not 115

426
00:18:57,660 --> 00:19:00,370
minutes.
Yeah, just like and we convinced

427
00:19:00,380 --> 00:19:02,210
us we're like now because like
it's just.

428
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:03,950
Nah, Nah, It would be way
thicker than that.

429
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:07,070
And we took a picture of it and
we've had this meal.

430
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,910
We had a whole meal before we
brought it up because it was

431
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,200
nothing to us.
We were like, no, of course not.

432
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:12,550
We knew.
It's not like, yeah, we did this

433
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,050
practise test early, We'll show
you the picture of it.

434
00:19:14,060 --> 00:19:16,240
And yeah, it's just
unfortunately not.

435
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:18,160
And Dylan was like looking at
you.

436
00:19:18,170 --> 00:19:21,390
He went mental.
He was like what he was like,

437
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,550
literally like this on his
chair.

438
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,870
What, jumping up?
No, you you realise that you

439
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,390
don't.
I can't believe you know what

440
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,110
this means.
Right?

441
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,110
And you got the got the
instructions up on Google it

442
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:33,190
says if there's the faintest
line that I mean you're

443
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,390
pregnant.
I mean you are literally

444
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,970
pregnant.
You're so annoying.

445
00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:37,550
Me was.
We were still like, Nah, you

446
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,990
didn't get it you.
Did not really like.

447
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,740
I was like no, we we thought
about this.

448
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:42,660
We're just not.
And Dylan was like, Oh my God,

449
00:19:42,670 --> 00:19:43,780
you are.
I'll put money on it.

450
00:19:43,790 --> 00:19:45,920
I put money on it.
Next day he did a pregnancy test

451
00:19:45,930 --> 00:19:48,140
again.
It was much, much bigger because

452
00:19:48,210 --> 00:19:52,120
in a pregnancy test, the only
way you get that line is if the

453
00:19:52,130 --> 00:19:55,060
pregnancy hormone is there.
Like, it's not like I've got a

454
00:19:55,070 --> 00:19:58,680
bit of pregnancy hormone.
People have it or you don't.

455
00:19:58,690 --> 00:20:00,500
We just thought it was just we
could just see through, you

456
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:02,120
know?
It's crazy because we picked you

457
00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:05,450
up for that dinner, right?
So we picked you up and

458
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,700
obviously, like, I was like,
well, that pregnant.

459
00:20:09,530 --> 00:20:11,560
Pregnant, like, Oh my God, it's
amazing.

460
00:20:11,630 --> 00:20:13,940
And you didn't budge.
So then for the last, like,

461
00:20:13,950 --> 00:20:16,960
hour, when we were just having
dessert and just chatting, I had

462
00:20:16,970 --> 00:20:19,970
to stop myself from only wanting
to talk about the fact that you

463
00:20:19,980 --> 00:20:21,370
were pregnant.
And I was like, we were both

464
00:20:21,380 --> 00:20:22,170
pregnant.
I was like, this is

465
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:23,360
unbelievable.
Just in case we weren't.

466
00:20:23,370 --> 00:20:26,760
Because you.
And then I remember vividly like

467
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:31,860
saying, ohh, OK, well, I'm
pretty sure you are, but you

468
00:20:31,870 --> 00:20:33,240
might not be.
OK, fine.

469
00:20:33,330 --> 00:20:36,580
And we dropped you off and you
went in and I was like, they're

470
00:20:36,590 --> 00:20:37,830
pregnant.
Like they're pregnant.

471
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,540
We'll find out that it's not
even a thing.

472
00:20:39,550 --> 00:20:41,960
I don't have to pretend to you.
They're out of the car now.

473
00:20:42,050 --> 00:20:42,640
They're.
Pregnant.

474
00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:45,030
The next day it was sent him a
picture of the next pregnancy

475
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,260
test, pregnancy test, which was
much more clear.

476
00:20:47,370 --> 00:20:50,620
I was like, oh, yeah, I know.
I know.

477
00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:52,880
I told you yesterday and we were
like, yeah, alright, fair

478
00:20:52,890 --> 00:20:54,680
enough.
So the joke has been since then

479
00:20:54,690 --> 00:20:57,810
that the.
Him and Lauren were the first

480
00:20:57,820 --> 00:21:00,060
two people to find out that we
were pregnant and we were third

481
00:21:00,070 --> 00:21:02,900
and 4th.
And I say I got my revenge.

482
00:21:02,910 --> 00:21:04,660
It's not quite the same kind of.
I don't know where this.

483
00:21:04,670 --> 00:21:06,310
Is going.
But Dylan, Dylan, and Lauren

484
00:21:06,580 --> 00:21:09,990
tried extremely hard to keep the
birth a secret.

485
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,710
Yeah, which is.
Which is great and we had a

486
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,210
planned C-section, so we knew
when.

487
00:21:15,660 --> 00:21:17,790
So they had a day and didn't
tell anyone, which is completely

488
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,050
understandable and we completely
respected and we didn't push to

489
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:24,090
find out anything like that, but
we happened, we just happened to

490
00:21:24,100 --> 00:21:27,010
have an appointment at the
hospital on the day.

491
00:21:27,090 --> 00:21:29,490
But they did give birth on the
morning that they'd given birth.

492
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,140
Like literally an hour in the
unit where we were giving.

493
00:21:32,150 --> 00:21:33,450
Birth.
Because we were going in for a

494
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:37,600
scan, and as we were pulling in,
Lauren, I didn't even think

495
00:21:37,610 --> 00:21:38,870
about it.
Hadn't crossed my mind.

496
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,200
Lauren was like, wonder if
they're here.

497
00:21:40,210 --> 00:21:43,510
I was like, she looked, she saw
a car that was like yours.

498
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,650
And then I was like, no, that's
not that car.

499
00:21:45,660 --> 00:21:47,830
That car is a different model.
She was like, and I was like,

500
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,430
OK, so we drove in.
She was like, yeah, but that one

501
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,100
is.
So I was just like no way.

502
00:21:53,370 --> 00:21:57,540
So there's me like thinking ohh
well I I instantly wanted to

503
00:21:57,550 --> 00:22:02,160
text and be like wait to inflate
probably at that point.

504
00:22:02,170 --> 00:22:03,940
She was like, no, it was spoil.
It was like, yeah, that's fair

505
00:22:03,950 --> 00:22:05,790
enough, like this, just let's
let them think that we don't

506
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,600
know you.
Did you did take a video though?

507
00:22:07,610 --> 00:22:11,270
Yeah, afterwards.
I took a video of walking past

508
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,490
but pretending to film Lauren,
but just blatantly going past

509
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:15,510
their car saying I wonder if
they're going to have the baby

510
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,540
anytime soon.
Well the the good, the The funny

511
00:22:18,550 --> 00:22:21,150
thing about that as well was
obviously we gave birth for like

512
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,300
half nine in the morning and so
after that we were going through

513
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:27,980
family, going through friends,
Yeah.

514
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:31,070
And so I I called you.
I video called.

515
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,980
You and I knew, you obviously
knew, but you didn't answer.

516
00:22:35,030 --> 00:22:37,280
And I was like, you're like the
second person or third person

517
00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:39,080
wrote to not answer and I want
to show off my.

518
00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:41,540
Baby First person in the room
because you rang me first.

519
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:44,290
And you know what?
It was.

520
00:22:44,300 --> 00:22:46,590
I was in the hospital.
In the hospital.

521
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,570
Literally.
Like probably about four walls

522
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:52,030
away from you with with a with a
doctor for our appointment.

523
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,910
You knew what I was calling.
Yeah, I knew.

524
00:22:55,180 --> 00:22:57,450
So all I was doing was waiting
for a text or call or something.

525
00:22:57,460 --> 00:22:59,830
And then I sat there in front of
this doctor with Lauren and my

526
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,310
phone was buzzing and I and I
knew it was Dylan.

527
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,790
And I was thinking, Oh my God,
I've never wanted a doctor to

528
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,910
shut up so fast.
And it's about my baby.

529
00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:10,350
I didn't listen to a word he
said.

530
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,150
I still to this day couldn't
tell you anything.

531
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,340
Like a little positive.
It was just like you booked a

532
00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:19,090
date mate, yeah?
I felt really rude because for

533
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:23,280
me in that moment like as a
close, like I was overrided by,

534
00:23:23,710 --> 00:23:25,960
this is so important to me right
now and I don't even care if I

535
00:23:25,970 --> 00:23:27,240
lose.
I showed Laura on my phone.

536
00:23:27,250 --> 00:23:30,040
He was mid talking to Lauren.
This doctor showed on my phone

537
00:23:30,050 --> 00:23:33,810
as is to be like, we need to get
out of it and then we'll sort of

538
00:23:33,820 --> 00:23:35,750
like, yeah, thank you.
And I'll sort of move in like

539
00:23:35,810 --> 00:23:39,960
yeah, it's more OK yeah.
And the second I got the doors

540
00:23:39,970 --> 00:23:43,370
on bringing Dylan, OK, we saw
you.

541
00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:45,030
Yeah.
Yeah, Very emotional.

542
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,450
Very emotional.
So when, when when I saw you

543
00:23:48,460 --> 00:23:52,610
guys, it was like a few hours, I
don't know, a few hours after

544
00:23:53,020 --> 00:23:55,950
and he wanted me to say like,
how's it going?

545
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,890
And I was like, that's really
good.

546
00:23:59,020 --> 00:24:01,870
Yeah.
And I tell you what's the most

547
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,810
like?
And you hear it all the time,

548
00:24:03,820 --> 00:24:05,310
don't you?
Because that indescribable and

549
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,360
stuff.
But when the baby cries.

550
00:24:08,540 --> 00:24:11,490
Hmm.
After it's given by like it's

551
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:14,440
mad.
It's mad like it's you can't you

552
00:24:14,450 --> 00:24:15,920
can't describe it.
You can't describe it.

553
00:24:15,930 --> 00:24:19,730
And it's like, so that all
happens and you get to see them.

554
00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:22,230
And then as dad went off to cut
the cord.

555
00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:25,330
Hmm.
And weigh the baby and they

556
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:27,270
brush him down and stuff.
I've ever asked about that.

557
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,830
How does that work with the
C-section?

558
00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:31,330
Like, course, yeah.
So the baby's there.

559
00:24:31,380 --> 00:24:33,760
They wait for a bit, I think
delayed, delayed clamping of the

560
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:36,530
cord so he gets as much
nutrients possible.

561
00:24:36,740 --> 00:24:40,610
But then.
Because it was such a blur, but

562
00:24:40,620 --> 00:24:42,270
he had the massive cord coming
off.

563
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,390
Yeah.
Did you cut it?

564
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,510
Cut it.
Yes.

565
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,040
Because they say you wanna cut
the cord.

566
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,870
And I was in the trails like,
yeah, come on.

567
00:24:47,940 --> 00:24:49,480
Not really thinking about what I
was doing.

568
00:24:49,490 --> 00:24:50,820
Yeah.
But I was like, this is awesome.

569
00:24:50,830 --> 00:24:54,750
And I you cut the.
Cord, you just kind of you've

570
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,880
got a girl now.
But yeah, he cut cut off the

571
00:24:57,890 --> 00:25:00,000
cord and they just wrap it up.
Yeah.

572
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:02,320
Mental by the way.
Like, I kind of knew this, but

573
00:25:02,330 --> 00:25:05,710
until you see it, that just like
the end like about a fingers

574
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,580
length record, it's just hanging
out of his belly button with a

575
00:25:08,590 --> 00:25:09,700
clamp on it.
Yeah.

576
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:12,700
And you wait four days and it
falls off and it goes it goes

577
00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:16,140
black.
He dies on him ohh and just

578
00:25:16,150 --> 00:25:17,770
falls off.
It's now on the side of our

579
00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:20,220
bedside cabinet just out there.
Yeah, people keep it.

580
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:22,460
Ohh keep it.
Apparently you are gonna eat it.

581
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,850
Is that the percentage of the
dead half of them?

582
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:31,420
Yeah.
You've already tried it and the

583
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:34,150
presenter?
What, like a toothpick?

584
00:25:35,730 --> 00:25:37,560
The presenter?
Sorry.

585
00:25:37,570 --> 00:25:42,000
Point was, there was a dead end.
Potato, you might say.

586
00:25:42,380 --> 00:25:43,890
Wasn't that in your potato
wedge?

587
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,030
What is this?
Ohh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell

588
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,150
you that we're gonna come for a
really quick tangent, because I

589
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,000
think this is one of the
funniest stories about my

590
00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:56,490
childhood and it's on about
eating right.

591
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,510
This is a real tangent, but I've
just thought about it just now.

592
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,570
Yeah this is not got many
tangents but I just.

593
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:03,800
Never went back to whatever.
Everyone has actually enjoyed

594
00:26:03,810 --> 00:26:05,490
just catching up because this is
all this is.

595
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,850
Guys, I'm really sorry, but when
I was a kid, cuz already I'm

596
00:26:08,860 --> 00:26:11,490
thinking, like to me it's mad
that you just get given a kid.

597
00:26:12,220 --> 00:26:14,330
Like you just get given it like
it's all child.

598
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:16,190
Obviously you thought as a kid,
No, no, no.

599
00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:18,320
This is separate.
Like, I'm prefacing this story.

600
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:20,290
Right?
So at the end, but after a few

601
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,500
days and make sure Lawrence all
right, they're just like, oh, we

602
00:26:22,510 --> 00:26:27,090
can go yeah.
What they can go after?

603
00:26:28,050 --> 00:26:31,810
What about when he cries?
Yeah, let's figure out.

604
00:26:31,870 --> 00:26:33,780
He could want changing.
He could want winding, could

605
00:26:33,790 --> 00:26:35,060
want food.
Which one?

606
00:26:36,010 --> 00:26:38,340
Which one?
Cause and when do we start

607
00:26:38,350 --> 00:26:39,640
giving them food?
Look I.

608
00:26:39,650 --> 00:26:42,160
Don't if I told you but I'm self
diagnosed, forget about.

609
00:26:42,770 --> 00:26:46,640
Just tell me which one.
I'm not looking at him like, can

610
00:26:46,650 --> 00:26:48,570
you say if you're hungry, yeah,
I'll feed.

611
00:26:48,580 --> 00:26:50,690
You don't just cry and look at
me with that.

612
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,810
Face What is this facial emotion
that's crying?

613
00:26:53,940 --> 00:26:55,850
OK.
Right.

614
00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:57,880
I can't wait for him to smile.
Wait, no.

615
00:26:58,980 --> 00:27:01,660
What does that mean?
Are you happy?

616
00:27:01,670 --> 00:27:03,160
Wait, did.
I know he wants feeding.

617
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,880
No, he's just happened to be on
food.

618
00:27:04,930 --> 00:27:08,030
So already you're thinking
about, like I said, they're

619
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,360
like, when when do they eat
food?

620
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,750
Apparently it's like about six
months.

621
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,040
They start going to solids, but
then it's always like it's

622
00:27:14,050 --> 00:27:15,960
weaning.
So it's over a bit of time.

623
00:27:16,510 --> 00:27:18,940
Like, that's mad to me because
like, OK, who's in charge of

624
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:21,880
that?
Do I just guessed Broccoli Pop

625
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,180
Tart?
Yeah.

626
00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:27,180
Would you want but, like, do we
just guess like how much he

627
00:27:27,190 --> 00:27:28,990
wants to be as well?
Like, is there?

628
00:27:29,070 --> 00:27:31,130
I like following instructions
right?

629
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:36,480
Daddy's Favourite 12 Come on,
No, that's your umbilical cord

630
00:27:36,490 --> 00:27:42,890
when you were little.
Every thought points, but it's

631
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:44,650
on food, right?
Cause I was speaking about food.

632
00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:49,580
I was like when I was younger, I
was, I was, I was really sorry,

633
00:27:49,750 --> 00:27:51,720
right of passage.
You gotta umbilical cord.

634
00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:55,180
I was really fussy with food,
right, Really fussy.

635
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:57,680
And so my mum would just feed
me.

636
00:27:57,730 --> 00:28:02,780
It became a choice of either
didn't eat or a potato Waffles.

637
00:28:08,450 --> 00:28:12,330
Look at me looking back at you.
Like, wasn't there something up

638
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:15,180
with that?
Sorry, Didn't he refuse to eat

639
00:28:15,190 --> 00:28:17,200
unless it was a McCain's potato
waffle?

640
00:28:17,210 --> 00:28:19,550
Yeah.
All right, bad time.

641
00:28:19,610 --> 00:28:21,920
Five years it was there a
spectrum.

642
00:28:21,930 --> 00:28:26,240
We could have considered this
child who just took me going to

643
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:33,010
diagnosis so very, very picky
with food and I obsessed over

644
00:28:33,020 --> 00:28:35,300
food, right?
So I always go through obsession

645
00:28:35,310 --> 00:28:37,730
periods where I will eat nothing
but cornflakes.

646
00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:38,730
Like 2 weeks.
Yeah, right.

647
00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:40,930
And now I'm bored of that now
and I'm like nothing else for

648
00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:42,970
two weeks.
But when I was younger, it was

649
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:44,630
potato waffles and I didn't eat
anything else.

650
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,860
Right until 1 fateful day when
we were at a shoe shop.

651
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:50,360
Hmm.
And we were walking.

652
00:28:50,370 --> 00:28:57,140
Around with a shoe?
No, but worse than that, I

653
00:28:57,150 --> 00:28:59,080
remember not being called on the
floor.

654
00:29:05,070 --> 00:29:08,340
It was mine.
It was so sad and falling off.

655
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:12,700
It's like it's disgusting.
Applies on it.

656
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,290
Ohh.
Looks like looks like a bad

657
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:16,810
time.
What?

658
00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,030
Anyway, maybe.
Yeah.

659
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:24,770
Shoe shop.
Well, my mum was there.

660
00:29:24,780 --> 00:29:29,090
My sister and my mum's friend, I
think in her kid maybe didn't

661
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:32,150
need anything.
I went off walking, right?

662
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,670
Yeah.
On the floor was one of those

663
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:41,000
silica gel pouches.
So you can't say this.

664
00:29:41,010 --> 00:29:46,220
Sorry.
That's why I eat it.

665
00:29:46,430 --> 00:29:50,980
I think I would need anything
from a white bag that says do

666
00:29:50,990 --> 00:30:01,830
not eat them.
I understand.

667
00:30:02,650 --> 00:30:04,570
Your mom didn't think that was
something up.

668
00:30:07,150 --> 00:30:09,200
No, I'll have the crystal
jewels, please.

669
00:30:09,210 --> 00:30:14,220
That's.
Growing So I I ate a packet of

670
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:18,560
silica gel and that day I
started eating.

671
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:22,540
That day I remember we left the
shoe shop and went to an ice

672
00:30:22,550 --> 00:30:25,420
cream van we were buying ice
cream trip on.

673
00:30:25,430 --> 00:30:27,000
My mum didn't think I'd have
one, obviously.

674
00:30:27,090 --> 00:30:28,730
And I was like, yeah, I'll have
a buzz light year.

675
00:30:28,740 --> 00:30:32,670
I should be what?
It's not advised to eat

676
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,870
anything, Yeah, but Can you
imagine that?

677
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:42,900
That keeps things dry.
My stomach was like, and 17

678
00:30:42,910 --> 00:30:45,980
leagues of water.
So yeah, that was my my story.

679
00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:50,080
I vividly remember it.
And every time now that we buy

680
00:30:50,090 --> 00:30:52,230
something like I said, like a
gel falls out.

681
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,820
Lauren goes dinner.
Careful.

682
00:30:55,820 --> 00:30:58,150
Ohh man right, we need to not
laugh at my cheeks.

683
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,610
Genuinely hurt?
I've never told you that.

684
00:31:00,620 --> 00:31:02,480
Story I don't know.
You might have done that was

685
00:31:02,490 --> 00:31:04,070
funny.
That's just made me laugh a lot.

686
00:31:04,110 --> 00:31:07,070
Ohh God yeah.
So having a kid, don't want him

687
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,930
to do that.
So sure he needs the right thing

688
00:31:11,980 --> 00:31:14,850
because I have potato waffles
and silica gel to those six.

689
00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:19,020
She's mad.
Absolutely mad.

690
00:31:19,130 --> 00:31:21,910
Well, thank you for that.
That was that was that was

691
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,240
great.
We should Jingle.

692
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:26,650
Yeah, yeah.
Go for it.

693
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:28,220
Ohh.
We got, we got we cooperate.

694
00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:35,680
We yeah, right.
If we do break out a bit of a

695
00:31:35,690 --> 00:31:39,340
drink, but yeah, carrying on
with baby stuff, like anyone

696
00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:44,100
listening who has become a
parent at some point, I guess we

697
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:46,400
we can talk more about how
teaching is affected very soon

698
00:31:46,410 --> 00:31:48,760
when we go back to work.
So that would be something we

699
00:31:48,770 --> 00:31:52,560
do.
But I guess what I'm really

700
00:31:52,570 --> 00:31:55,200
interested in is talking to
people about and explaining and

701
00:31:55,210 --> 00:31:57,850
and seeing how you feel when you
have your child and maybe like,

702
00:31:57,860 --> 00:32:00,800
we're at the interim point now
where I am now father, and you

703
00:32:00,810 --> 00:32:05,200
will be.
Hmm, is the mindset switch right

704
00:32:05,290 --> 00:32:10,800
Of like I said before, suddenly
something else is the most

705
00:32:10,810 --> 00:32:12,720
important thing.
Yeah, cause I've I've always

706
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:15,720
joked and like, but not really
joked kind of truth for that.

707
00:32:15,770 --> 00:32:18,460
I've been quite selfish in my
life up until now.

708
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:21,400
In that not not in a bad way,
but if I wanted to go and play

709
00:32:21,410 --> 00:32:25,630
golf at any point my friends
might oh, I need to check this

710
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,520
and check it out because my
daughter's got there.

711
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:31,800
So my family job with with with
me, always been like, yeah, I

712
00:32:31,810 --> 00:32:33,530
can play cool, yeah, so I can
just go off.

713
00:32:33,540 --> 00:32:35,700
Laurence really chilled.
You know, mid meal.

714
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:39,140
Bye bye.
Yeah, you mean Lauren.

715
00:32:39,150 --> 00:32:39,920
Really.
Super challenge.

716
00:32:39,930 --> 00:32:41,840
Yeah, Completely.
Never ever be a problem.

717
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:46,280
Even now, doing this like this
will be like an hour and a half,

718
00:32:46,290 --> 00:32:48,160
Two hours easy.
Asleep.

719
00:32:48,170 --> 00:32:51,500
He's asleep, He's fine.
I'm not missing anything and it

720
00:32:51,510 --> 00:32:53,340
can still do that thing.
The other day she was out for

721
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:56,560
two or three hours with her mum
and I was at home with, well, I.

722
00:32:56,570 --> 00:32:58,320
Think it's good though.
Of course it needs.

723
00:32:58,330 --> 00:33:01,760
To be I hope this is a.
Well, because I know before you

724
00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:04,250
had the baby, were very adamant
that, yeah, we were not going to

725
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:07,260
fall into that trap of thinking
that we can't, we have to 100%

726
00:33:07,270 --> 00:33:08,690
always both be there all the
time, yeah.

727
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:10,250
Yeah, and you don't get any time
for yourself.

728
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:11,760
I know I'm going to be very
strict on.

729
00:33:12,150 --> 00:33:14,380
We need a bit of time each week.
To yourself.

730
00:33:14,390 --> 00:33:16,600
You need to still be Hayden.
You need to still be Dylan, not

731
00:33:16,610 --> 00:33:18,220
just Dad.
I think you're a better parent

732
00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:19,070
as well.
Completely.

733
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,240
If you're just having a bit of
time and we're talking about

734
00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:23,590
such a minimal amount of time,
it is.

735
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,180
Honestly, he's literally
sleeping by the time I got home.

736
00:33:26,190 --> 00:33:28,980
One another feed and I'll be
there like it's not a problem.

737
00:33:29,670 --> 00:33:32,190
There's obviously a balance you
don't take the big yeah and and

738
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:35,010
I want to be with him as much as
possible so it's it's lovely.

739
00:33:35,020 --> 00:33:36,530
I don't feel like I'm missing
out ever.

740
00:33:36,580 --> 00:33:40,450
Like, I, I've been with him in
the last two weeks.

741
00:33:40,580 --> 00:33:44,600
I think I've left for offset for
three hours.

742
00:33:44,650 --> 00:33:47,490
Hmm.
And this podcast for an hour.

743
00:33:47,500 --> 00:33:48,090
Yeah.
Yeah.

744
00:33:48,150 --> 00:33:50,320
And I feel like that's a nice
amount.

745
00:33:50,450 --> 00:33:51,340
Yeah.
Like it's fine.

746
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:53,010
It's absolutely even before
that, even before the last

747
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:54,900
couple of days you have at all.
Yeah.

748
00:33:54,910 --> 00:33:56,780
So it's actually taking you two
weeks to even get to the point

749
00:33:56,790 --> 00:33:58,620
where you started doing.
Exactly.

750
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:59,690
Exactly.
And I think that's

751
00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:01,070
understandable.
I think I'll be exactly the

752
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,480
same.
Imagine, not be obsessed,

753
00:34:02,490 --> 00:34:04,830
basically leading, leading by
what we think rather than what

754
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,050
we think we should think.
Yeah.

755
00:34:06,090 --> 00:34:07,880
Or what society's expectations
and stuff.

756
00:34:07,890 --> 00:34:09,440
So now what works for us?
Yeah.

757
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,820
And I'm still with him 98.
If I'm really really stressed

758
00:34:11,830 --> 00:34:14,290
and horribly tired.
I will not be as effective as if

759
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:16,489
I just have, yeah, five hours
away exactly.

760
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:18,210
Cooperate.
And that's one thing I would say

761
00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:21,460
is accept the help.
Hmm.

762
00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:24,820
Because I think before Rory
came, we were really adamant

763
00:34:25,670 --> 00:34:29,219
that will be with ourselves,
will be our little bubble.

764
00:34:29,370 --> 00:34:34,280
Would be our little bubble be
beautiful that that fell apart

765
00:34:34,290 --> 00:34:36,330
in three days in the best way?
Yeah, because we were just both

766
00:34:36,340 --> 00:34:38,810
like, ohh, let's get the.
Grandparents, we received

767
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:40,489
advice, haven't we?
We've been on the course and the

768
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:42,969
advice was very much like a nice
first couple of weeks.

769
00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:45,790
Make it all about you.
Tell people not to come, you

770
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,370
don't want to come round.
Tell them not to come round.

771
00:34:47,380 --> 00:34:49,090
Have a bit of time for
yourselves as parents.

772
00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:51,790
And we were like, yeah, because
we're super right about that,

773
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:58,170
like confidence and your life.
Yeah, yeah, I remember saying

774
00:34:58,180 --> 00:35:01,460
like, you know, because I think
as well for grandparents, it's

775
00:35:01,470 --> 00:35:03,470
different.
Grandparents came to the

776
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,960
hospital to see them.
Yeah, as in our parents.

777
00:35:06,030 --> 00:35:08,480
So Rory's grandparents came to
the hospital to see him.

778
00:35:08,590 --> 00:35:09,920
To me, that's completely
different.

779
00:35:09,930 --> 00:35:13,660
Consume as much as you want.
But like almost everyone else, I

780
00:35:13,710 --> 00:35:18,260
I can't wait to show him off.
Like, I I love it, right, But

781
00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:20,720
there has to be priority of
like, OK, but right now we

782
00:35:20,730 --> 00:35:23,180
actually just need help.
Can you take this load off

783
00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:26,580
online by doing washing?
Can you like so we can just

784
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:30,440
focus on his feeding pattern and
changing him and just getting

785
00:35:30,450 --> 00:35:32,160
over us sleep, That's
readjusting.

786
00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:35,660
Just take the help man like have
a plan what you want to do, but

787
00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:38,750
be reactive to what you need.
How long can you melt the

788
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,090
washing for?
I know Ohh yeah, he's just gone

789
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:43,240
to university.
Yeah.

790
00:35:43,650 --> 00:35:45,150
Do you wanna stop doing the?
Washing now?

791
00:35:45,290 --> 00:35:46,810
Yeah.
No, we've done some washing

792
00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:50,800
today, so it's not.
It's just that that thing I will

793
00:35:50,810 --> 00:35:53,360
say is that we got advice from
when someone comes round.

794
00:35:53,410 --> 00:35:55,400
Hmm.
Get them to either bring

795
00:35:55,410 --> 00:35:57,150
something or do something.
Yeah, that was a good thing.

796
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,070
That's good advice.
And you can just you can be

797
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,120
blunt with a baby and be like,
Nah, you only come around.

798
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:05,360
All right.
Yeah.

799
00:36:05,370 --> 00:36:09,030
Got like half an hour because,
yeah, because we're knackered.

800
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,550
We're just really tired.
But again, going back to my

801
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,470
original point, because we're
delusional here, your brain

802
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,410
switches, like, become anxious,
like about just his existence,

803
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,030
like the breathing thing I
talked about.

804
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,780
It's a real thing where you're
just like, oh, I don't know

805
00:36:23,790 --> 00:36:26,590
what's normal because I've never
been taught it like he's

806
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,370
coughing up a bit of phlegm,
which is normal a mucus because

807
00:36:30,380 --> 00:36:32,330
he's clearing his lungs, though.
He's a C-section, maybe.

808
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:34,490
Yeah, he's got a bit left in his
lungs like that, but that's

809
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,610
normal for him.
He's OK, but it sounds

810
00:36:36,620 --> 00:36:38,580
horrendous.
Yeah, like it sounds like a pig

811
00:36:38,590 --> 00:36:42,450
being punched in the head.
Which sounds like Tasmanian

812
00:36:42,460 --> 00:36:43,940
Devil.
So go back and watch that.

813
00:36:43,950 --> 00:36:48,050
Yeah.
Big being punched in the head.

814
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:50,750
But Lauren and I, I don't know
what you're going to do.

815
00:36:51,740 --> 00:36:54,190
You all know what you can all
imagine what a pig in most of

816
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,190
their sounds like.
That's what it sounds like.

817
00:36:56,660 --> 00:36:58,650
But yeah, what what are you
gonna do it?

818
00:36:58,660 --> 00:37:00,470
This leads in again with us
being teachers and a bit of

819
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,970
anxiety, I guess, and a bit of
just wariness.

820
00:37:03,420 --> 00:37:05,390
We're not gonna post them
online.

821
00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:07,830
Yeah, I'm gonna be saying that.
Yeah.

822
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,230
Like, wait, I I'm very adamant
to and I I think I see

823
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,470
influences sometimes almost
monetise their baby.

824
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,850
Day one and it makes you feel
sick.

825
00:37:15,860 --> 00:37:18,470
Yeah, there is a middle ground
and I don't think it's bad to

826
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,930
put your baby on social media.
Lots of my friends doing, I love

827
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:22,500
seeing pictures of them.
He's beautiful.

828
00:37:22,510 --> 00:37:24,970
They put in locked accounts.
Maybe there's privacy settings

829
00:37:24,980 --> 00:37:27,870
you can do and stuff.
Yeah, but I think, do you think

830
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,260
it's because we're teachers or
maybe you have a different?

831
00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:31,970
Mindset.
I've got a really different

832
00:37:31,980 --> 00:37:34,170
opinion to you and I don't know
if Lauren does.

833
00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:37,210
It will be a discussion because
as parents it will be whatever

834
00:37:37,220 --> 00:37:42,050
choice, but I really don't care.
So maybe you can change my mind.

835
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:44,250
I don't even know why you would
care.

836
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,560
Because about this is gonna
sound, this is gonna sound

837
00:37:47,570 --> 00:37:50,980
ridiculous, but it's consent,
right?

838
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:54,080
Like that he can't consent,
right?

839
00:37:54,430 --> 00:37:59,140
He could grow up and be a right.
Yeah, and be annoyed that

840
00:37:59,150 --> 00:38:00,550
there's hundreds of pictures of
him online.

841
00:38:01,890 --> 00:38:03,720
Yeah, but is he gonna be?
Don't know.

842
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,590
Has anyone ever?
Yeah, probably.

843
00:38:05,630 --> 00:38:06,600
I don't know.
I don't run around.

844
00:38:06,610 --> 00:38:07,380
Don't.
Maybe not.

845
00:38:07,470 --> 00:38:10,420
But like, I'm I'm just saying
like, I don't.

846
00:38:10,430 --> 00:38:12,670
I I can.
I can show everyone I want to

847
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,180
show him without putting on
social media for anyone to see.

848
00:38:16,390 --> 00:38:18,780
Yeah, yeah, sure.
So I can still send pictures of

849
00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:20,060
him.
I send pictures of him to you.

850
00:38:20,070 --> 00:38:22,570
Yeah, to my friends, because
some people at the next level,

851
00:38:22,580 --> 00:38:24,680
they won't do that either.
No, that's fine because I trust

852
00:38:24,690 --> 00:38:27,320
people still.
But I just don't want.

853
00:38:27,370 --> 00:38:31,000
I don't feel like, personally, I
want to pass this face on social

854
00:38:31,010 --> 00:38:33,220
media.
Sure, sure.

855
00:38:33,370 --> 00:38:35,750
Yeah, I get it.
I I don't not even like, I'm not

856
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,940
even, like highly anxious about,
you know, my mind doesn't go to

857
00:38:39,950 --> 00:38:42,460
the worst avenues of like the
kind of people online and stuff.

858
00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:44,280
And I get, I get that.
It's literally the argument,

859
00:38:44,290 --> 00:38:45,780
isn't it?
Yeah, it's not even it's even

860
00:38:45,790 --> 00:38:47,590
that because.
Any any like creepy people to

861
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:48,640
look at?
There are horrible people

862
00:38:48,650 --> 00:38:50,530
everywhere, I mean.
Yeah, I don't worry about that

863
00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:51,980
at all.
I'm just especially a baby stage

864
00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:53,350
as well.
Like newborns, they they do

865
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,400
just, they do look like pigs.
Doesn't sound like you know a

866
00:38:58,410 --> 00:39:00,130
lot about pigs in the back of
the head.

867
00:39:00,140 --> 00:39:01,380
Yeah, but like, I don't really
care.

868
00:39:01,390 --> 00:39:03,180
Like I'd have.
I'd happily, for example, I'd

869
00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:05,620
happily put a picture on
Facebook like let's say your

870
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:08,140
stage right now of like the US,
a little family.

871
00:39:08,150 --> 00:39:10,620
I put that on Facebook and I'd
make it my profile picture and

872
00:39:10,730 --> 00:39:12,340
and that wouldn't bother me
whatsoever.

873
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:14,680
Like, I just don't care.
There are moments and there are

874
00:39:14,690 --> 00:39:20,460
pictures I see where my heart
like, loses itself and I want to

875
00:39:20,470 --> 00:39:22,440
show everyone.
In the world and I think that's

876
00:39:22,450 --> 00:39:23,720
fine.
But I tell you what though, the

877
00:39:23,730 --> 00:39:26,190
idea of.
So I'm having a little girl and

878
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,140
the idea of.
Her being like 5-6 years old, so

879
00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:32,910
like a proper little girl now.
I think I'd feel a little bit

880
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,390
more like ohh.
I don't really want to post that

881
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,510
online now because I think
that's when it that's when it

882
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,850
does fall into the territory for
me at least of there are creepy

883
00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:42,550
people out there and like
newborns is very different to

884
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,320
me, but like a little girl, like
when I'm trying to show how cute

885
00:39:45,330 --> 00:39:48,090
she is online, do I really need
to post that to everyone?

886
00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:49,670
And.
But do you think that being a

887
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,230
teacher moulds that a bit?
Cuz I do.

888
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,060
I guess so because you've
delivered safety all the time.

889
00:39:55,070 --> 00:39:58,220
It's hugely important and we
drill it into the kids probably

890
00:39:58,230 --> 00:40:00,290
10 times more than what we need
to.

891
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:02,130
But that's good.
Yeah, Yeah.

892
00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:05,130
But I think doing that as I'm
just like, cool dude there is to

893
00:40:05,140 --> 00:40:06,590
me, there's just no need.
It's a really good point

894
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,040
actually.
It is kind of hypocritical that

895
00:40:08,050 --> 00:40:12,150
we that we're that I'd say to a
7 year old the about the

896
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,780
importance of them not posting
themselves publicly online

897
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:16,980
because it puts them in danger.
And then for me the then as

898
00:40:16,990 --> 00:40:18,560
their parent go and put a
picture of them online.

899
00:40:18,570 --> 00:40:21,190
I might on what I think is my
trust in social media but it's

900
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,850
of them so it's not even me I
guess it's kind of hypocritical.

901
00:40:23,860 --> 00:40:25,900
So I probably would think
differently but I think it's not

902
00:40:25,910 --> 00:40:28,690
the baby stage.
I think I'll be itching to get a

903
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:31,770
picture of me and my baby.
Well, I think I posted a picture

904
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:33,420
of his foot.
Yeah, I saw.

905
00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:36,130
Little things like that where, I
don't know, it's just it's

906
00:40:36,140 --> 00:40:38,280
consent I think, and I'm just
weird like that and I don't

907
00:40:38,290 --> 00:40:41,560
think it's anything wrong with
people who do that.

908
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,050
I just personally, I think both
of us are a bit like we don't

909
00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:46,870
have to do that, no.
And if you don't feel the need

910
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,350
to, then there's no, there's no
point doing.

911
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,650
It if you want, if you want
likes on social media for your

912
00:40:50,660 --> 00:40:53,870
baby, look, I want to monetize
my baby.

913
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,150
But I would, I would say one
thing.

914
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,700
And I told Lauren I was gonna
say this because it was, it was

915
00:40:57,710 --> 00:40:59,320
really funny.
It was really funny.

916
00:40:59,330 --> 00:41:01,010
And I was like, OK, all right,
love you.

917
00:41:01,020 --> 00:41:04,250
Gone too far now because there's
an idea of what we can post

918
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:05,950
online.
OK, can you start it?

919
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,740
Because I know Lauren very well
and I want to try and guess.

920
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:11,210
What she knows is going in.
This is just really funny.

921
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,230
So we had a really cute hand and
footprint ink thing.

922
00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:17,410
Yeah.
OK yeah.

923
00:41:17,460 --> 00:41:21,290
And so we put his, we put his
hand down, we put his foot down.

924
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:22,570
And in the middle will be a
picture of him.

925
00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:24,290
Yeah, OK.
I've already made-up a story in

926
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:26,810
my head, by the way.
OK, I'll give it one more thing,

927
00:41:26,860 --> 00:41:28,500
she said to me.
You can finish the story, she

928
00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:30,510
said to me.
I was going to post his

929
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:36,470
footprint online, but is it some
sort of identity thing, Lauren?

930
00:41:37,860 --> 00:41:40,690
She said she this, this, this
very exact words.

931
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:43,130
I told her this guy, God, she
laughed.

932
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,170
Her exact words were because
isn't that like all of his DNA

933
00:41:46,180 --> 00:41:51,620
or something?
Lauren, we're not posting this

934
00:41:51,630 --> 00:41:54,800
face.
Love you for outline social

935
00:41:54,810 --> 00:42:01,780
media post.
I had a picture of a finger

936
00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:06,740
fingerprint fingerprint.
Yeah, the police don't take

937
00:42:06,750 --> 00:42:08,480
pictures of your hand.
Yeah, yeah, they take a

938
00:42:08,490 --> 00:42:10,320
fingerprint.
Ohh.

939
00:42:10,330 --> 00:42:12,060
It just came out.
I was like, OK, that's too far.

940
00:42:12,070 --> 00:42:13,120
But yeah, that's that's our
mindset.

941
00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:15,570
I think I've just just cautious.
No, I did.

942
00:42:16,210 --> 00:42:17,810
But yeah, the amount of pitch
we've taken.

943
00:42:17,820 --> 00:42:18,810
The camera.
Yeah.

944
00:42:18,850 --> 00:42:21,490
And then it's weird again.
Take as many photos as possible.

945
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:23,400
Take videos.
Gorgeous.

946
00:42:23,550 --> 00:42:24,670
We spoke to Sophie.
Years.

947
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,640
I'll put it on Instagram.
We spoke to.

948
00:42:28,750 --> 00:42:30,440
Remember Sophie Bartlett came on
the bus.

949
00:42:30,510 --> 00:42:32,740
Yeah, yeah.
She messaged the other day, very

950
00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:34,330
excited.
She's a new mum, just going back

951
00:42:34,340 --> 00:42:36,330
to work and we talked about
again.

952
00:42:36,340 --> 00:42:37,920
There's a whole list of people
who wanna get back on the

953
00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:40,370
podcast, on the podcast for the
first time but want to get her

954
00:42:40,380 --> 00:42:43,480
back on as well.
And she just messaged about.

955
00:42:43,570 --> 00:42:46,870
And her advice to me was take
loads of videos because the

956
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,260
little sounds they make, the
little snorting pig sounds,

957
00:42:49,390 --> 00:42:51,700
yeah, at some point they
stopped, they stopped doing it

958
00:42:51,710 --> 00:42:53,300
and they just, you know, it's
lovely.

959
00:42:53,310 --> 00:42:56,530
But he's already changed.
Changed so much.

960
00:42:56,540 --> 00:42:58,080
Even in the pictures you sent
me.

961
00:42:58,150 --> 00:43:00,550
Yeah, he has changed.
Like you can literally see you

962
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,450
sent me one yesterday.
It was the first time I was like

963
00:43:02,460 --> 00:43:05,630
that look literally looks like.
I think, I don't know what it is

964
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,270
like a newborn like the
scrunched up yeah face.

965
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,910
His face just is a bit more
like.

966
00:43:10,260 --> 00:43:13,280
Well, they lose fluid.
He lost 10% of his birth weight.

967
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,990
Yeah, because he's just full of
fluid when that's normal, isn't

968
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,640
it?
They lose weight and then not

969
00:43:17,650 --> 00:43:19,500
that.
He lost quite a bit, yeah, but

970
00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:20,280
he's not to.
Lose weight.

971
00:43:20,290 --> 00:43:21,950
It's normal to lose weight 7 to
10%.

972
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,120
Completely normal because when
they're born full of fluid, so

973
00:43:25,130 --> 00:43:28,140
they do look a bit chunky in the
face, then they lose it.

974
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,760
Bit more of his head and he's
putting it.

975
00:43:30,770 --> 00:43:33,520
Back on again.
Yeah, just chubby cheeks and he

976
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:36,290
looks like him.
That's cute, but yeah,

977
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,430
beautiful.
Anyway, baby stuff.

978
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,820
Eh.
And no, I don't.

979
00:43:39,830 --> 00:43:40,910
Thanks for joining us for this
part.

980
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,450
So we we have got some more of
this episode.

981
00:43:42,460 --> 00:43:43,630
Yeah.
We just really wanted to catch

982
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:44,810
up, really.
About baby.

983
00:43:46,270 --> 00:43:49,580
Let's go to our, you know,
classic messing about.

984
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:52,710
Have you got some stories?
Ohh, yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry.

985
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:54,840
I've got a story this week.
So Stories in the Classroom is

986
00:43:54,850 --> 00:43:58,090
one of our segments real?
And this quick one?

987
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,270
It's just something that
happened at high school Ofsted.

988
00:44:02,580 --> 00:44:05,310
Luckily Ofsted, like the
inspector, didn't see this.

989
00:44:05,420 --> 00:44:08,650
But one of my colleagues, it
didn't matter.

990
00:44:08,660 --> 00:44:09,850
It would have been awkward at
the moment.

991
00:44:09,860 --> 00:44:10,870
It wouldn't have affected
anything.

992
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,450
It would have been embarrassing.
So one of one of my colleagues

993
00:44:13,460 --> 00:44:17,720
today, a child came in a in the
morning and put that bag down

994
00:44:17,730 --> 00:44:20,450
and stuff and went, oh, she was
like, what?

995
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,610
Ah, someone someone's pants are
on the table.

996
00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:27,790
You'd immediately be thinking
what is going on?

997
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,230
Like what?
Who's got changed?

998
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:34,040
Like what went over?
When I was thinking of what's

999
00:44:34,050 --> 00:44:35,660
going on, I picked up a big
black thong.

1000
00:44:36,330 --> 00:44:41,170
Really really frilly frilly
thong was like ohh and we just

1001
00:44:41,180 --> 00:44:43,190
we just think it's one of those
classic examples you know when

1002
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,300
someone just it just it's just
obviously just got caught to the

1003
00:44:45,310 --> 00:44:47,110
bottom of the bag or something
like that just like washing or

1004
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,250
something like that.
And then shove this peak in

1005
00:44:50,170 --> 00:44:53,390
thong just like, OK, remove that
immediately and it was like, I

1006
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,390
can't.
How was this happening?

1007
00:44:54,460 --> 00:44:55,750
And you were like, how did that
get there?

1008
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,360
Mine, yeah, 50 jokes all day.
Who's it is?

1009
00:45:00,830 --> 00:45:03,480
But I just maybe laugh.
I was like, what an embarrassing

1010
00:45:03,490 --> 00:45:05,480
thing to happen.
There's a lot of stories about

1011
00:45:05,490 --> 00:45:08,260
that.
I've heard one before of let's

1012
00:45:08,270 --> 00:45:11,530
just say an adult play toy.
Just actually, yeah, actually

1013
00:45:12,550 --> 00:45:15,780
I'm buzzing and they thought it
was a mobile phone.

1014
00:45:15,790 --> 00:45:21,580
Oh my God hello.
Yeah, reception is bad.

1015
00:45:23,820 --> 00:45:25,790
Oh man, did you have?
I do.

1016
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,070
This story is on our Instagram
and you can find us at teach,

1017
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,510
Sleep, repeat Pod cast.
Always get it wrong.

1018
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,850
Why does this repeat podcast?
And on threads Loving threads at

1019
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:39,340
the minute.
Loving threads did a post the

1020
00:45:39,350 --> 00:45:44,120
other day, I'll go up.
He got 97 likes at the start and

1021
00:45:44,130 --> 00:45:48,810
he sent it to me saying viral
gone gone viral and now he loves

1022
00:45:48,820 --> 00:45:50,680
to race again.
It went up to like 300 and.

1023
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,880
Hundreds.
OK, hundreds.

1024
00:45:53,010 --> 00:45:57,180
Anyway, before I get distracted,
let's go to the actual viral was

1025
00:45:57,190 --> 00:46:00,120
about school uniform.
OK, I'm actually going to talk

1026
00:46:00,130 --> 00:46:04,780
about that after Winds me up.
So anyway, for now, why not when

1027
00:46:04,790 --> 00:46:07,020
we talked about 17 different
things in one podcast.

1028
00:46:07,070 --> 00:46:10,580
Why not carry on, TC Repeat
podcast?

1029
00:46:10,590 --> 00:46:12,660
Let's go to our.
Massages.

1030
00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:15,810
This is me.
You know, getting time together.

1031
00:46:15,950 --> 00:46:17,340
OK, here we go.
Context.

1032
00:46:18,190 --> 00:46:22,530
I teach a greater depth year 6
focus group which is just twelve

1033
00:46:22,540 --> 00:46:25,000
children.
Last week we were learning about

1034
00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:28,500
Big Mass Bob Mass for the old
school, order operations for the

1035
00:46:28,510 --> 00:46:32,780
older school, and just before we
started the task I thought I'd

1036
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:35,540
quickly put the children on the
spot and asked them individually

1037
00:46:35,550 --> 00:46:37,280
what each letter of the acronym
stands for.

1038
00:46:37,390 --> 00:46:40,490
BID MAS.
I was going through the room

1039
00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:44,260
saying what does B stand for?
And such like I got to D.

1040
00:46:45,470 --> 00:46:47,520
And I asked the child what does
D mean?

1041
00:46:47,610 --> 00:46:51,480
What does the D mean?
The child started but held it

1042
00:46:51,490 --> 00:46:54,580
together and just said division.
Division, however, slightly more

1043
00:46:54,590 --> 00:46:59,820
confident child just, said Dick
Ohh in class.

1044
00:47:00,250 --> 00:47:03,280
Oh my God what?
Does the D mean well?

1045
00:47:03,290 --> 00:47:05,270
You asked me to do it.
You asked.

1046
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,960
I'm going to.
Do it anyway, Someone already

1047
00:47:07,970 --> 00:47:10,040
said division.
I'm gonna do it anyway.

1048
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,740
Yeah, it's the right answer.
I can't imagine doing that

1049
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,590
chance I would have.
Showed that one bit I was.

1050
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,530
I was thinking about my alien
that I was catching up.

1051
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:25,190
My egg was think about that and
the silicon You.

1052
00:47:25,270 --> 00:47:31,150
Later.
Much for lunch today, Sir.

1053
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,990
It's sausage, beans and eggs,
healthy snacks at break time.

1054
00:47:34,060 --> 00:47:39,850
Ohh just to look at.
Ohh man yeah that cracked me up.

1055
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:43,070
Guys, send us um ohh.
I did do a Q&A.

1056
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,420
By the way, I'll save those
answers because I didn't look at

1057
00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:47,960
them.
I asked.

1058
00:47:47,970 --> 00:47:52,090
Listen, he's had a baby.
I've moved house and he's been.

1059
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:56,160
For Ofsted's been just leave him
alone, Leave him alone.

1060
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,770
No, not a haircut.
In 10 months we're going about

1061
00:47:58,830 --> 00:48:01,100
you do look a.
Bit like, look at this.

1062
00:48:01,110 --> 00:48:02,550
Yeah, sorry.
Anyone who's listening?

1063
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,230
You've ever been spared.
Yeah.

1064
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,710
When I saw you the other day, I
did think.

1065
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:06,940
What did you think?
He looks messy.

1066
00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:07,840
You know what's?
Good.

1067
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,950
Got a photo shoot in the morning
tomorrow.

1068
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,730
Yeah, Newborn.
I kid.

1069
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:16,880
It's baby, mum and Olga, all the
kids in school now.

1070
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,790
Right.
Anyway, I've got one last

1071
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,740
section.
We'll play the Jingle and we'll

1072
00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:25,610
come back for this.
Last one's a little bit more

1073
00:48:25,620 --> 00:48:30,270
serious.
OK, welcome back after that

1074
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,530
lovely long Jingle classic.
What did you get done in that

1075
00:48:33,540 --> 00:48:34,700
time?
Did you your marking?

1076
00:48:35,090 --> 00:48:37,670
What are we like anyway?
This section is going to be

1077
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,890
called Wind Up Dylan with
something like this in the past.

1078
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:41,700
Remember it was called.
Couldn't be bothered to go find

1079
00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:43,130
out what we called it.
So wind up.

1080
00:48:43,140 --> 00:48:46,330
Dylan ready for the Jingle?
Wind up Dylan.

1081
00:48:46,380 --> 00:48:49,430
Wind him up.
Make him mad.

1082
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,930
It doesn't take much.
Wind up Dylan.

1083
00:48:53,060 --> 00:48:58,150
Tell him stories of people being
massive Tories.

1084
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:01,640
Wow.
And as well on the spot.

1085
00:49:01,650 --> 00:49:03,060
On the spot, I was hoping to get
into silica.

1086
00:49:03,070 --> 00:49:03,880
Gel.
Don't mind Tory.

1087
00:49:04,610 --> 00:49:07,340
He's gonna start himself because
he wants to share his viral

1088
00:49:07,350 --> 00:49:09,840
posts with you or viral himself
up.

1089
00:49:09,850 --> 00:49:11,300
How many?
How many likes would you say

1090
00:49:11,310 --> 00:49:13,030
Viral threads?
Probably like a couple of

1091
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:19,980
million. 300 million.
Man U 300 ones.

1092
00:49:21,310 --> 00:49:23,610
So I said, this one what you
think, Hayden?

1093
00:49:23,730 --> 00:49:24,660
I don't.
Have you seen this on?

1094
00:49:24,670 --> 00:49:27,060
Of course.
Have OK, send me five times, of

1095
00:49:27,070 --> 00:49:32,390
course.
What made you make me laugh was

1096
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,390
one morning after randomly you
sent it back to me and just put

1097
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:40,780
spelt viral out one Ohh.
So I don't know who needs to

1098
00:49:40,790 --> 00:49:43,870
hear this, but schools who use
uniform policy to lock out cheap

1099
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,000
options and punish those who
don't have the more expensive

1100
00:49:46,010 --> 00:49:49,400
item that's only purchasable
through certain retailers are an

1101
00:49:49,410 --> 00:49:52,180
absolute disgrace.
Schools need to be free at the

1102
00:49:52,190 --> 00:49:55,290
point of delivery, and you are
being gatekeepers against the

1103
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:57,400
poorest in a cost of living
crisis.

1104
00:49:57,470 --> 00:50:00,340
Sending a child into isolation
because they have the wrong tag

1105
00:50:00,350 --> 00:50:02,460
on their skirt or because it's a
slightly different shade of

1106
00:50:02,470 --> 00:50:05,690
green is just despicable.
Thanks.

1107
00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:07,600
Winds me up.
Yeah.

1108
00:50:08,410 --> 00:50:10,600
What do you feel about uniform?
Because I don't mind.

1109
00:50:10,650 --> 00:50:12,560
I think there's a debate to have
about uniform or not.

1110
00:50:12,630 --> 00:50:14,920
I think the fact we have
uniforms probably a good thing.

1111
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:16,650
Yeah, me too.
Like I'm I'm not one of these

1112
00:50:16,660 --> 00:50:17,820
people who think we should get
rid of you.

1113
00:50:17,830 --> 00:50:19,620
Pro uniform.
I'm pro uniform.

1114
00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:21,620
Are you pro Brexit?
No.

1115
00:50:21,690 --> 00:50:25,100
OK, good.
But yeah, it winds me up because

1116
00:50:25,110 --> 00:50:28,180
I'm seeing it more and more
where schools for some reason

1117
00:50:28,190 --> 00:50:30,990
just decide to take on this
unbelievably strict uniform

1118
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,790
policy.
Oh, by the way, you can only buy

1119
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,210
it through this shop, by the
way.

1120
00:50:34,220 --> 00:50:36,170
It's through us, by the way.
We're going to profit off you.

1121
00:50:36,180 --> 00:50:36,510
Yeah.
What?

1122
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,230
What happened to just like plain
green jumpers with like green

1123
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:43,810
dresses and grey trousers?
You.

1124
00:50:43,820 --> 00:50:48,190
Got to Florence and Fred Tesco,
but now it's like, no, we need

1125
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,420
to.
Your five year old needs a

1126
00:50:50,430 --> 00:50:52,120
blazer and tie.
Unbelievable.

1127
00:50:52,190 --> 00:50:53,320
Do do.
Do you know what?

1128
00:50:53,330 --> 00:50:55,560
A tie is do they?
Do you know what a tie, you

1129
00:50:55,570 --> 00:50:57,510
know, a tie is like, just strip
it back.

1130
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,570
Because I think he's a mentor.
Yeah, they aren't.

1131
00:50:59,580 --> 00:51:01,970
They completely mantle.
Do you know what a tie is?

1132
00:51:01,980 --> 00:51:03,630
Do you know why ties exist?
I don't know why they.

1133
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,550
Exist it was.
It used to just keep your collar

1134
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,820
together.
It was literally a tie to tie

1135
00:51:07,830 --> 00:51:10,440
your shirt and keep your shirt
together got longer and.

1136
00:51:10,450 --> 00:51:13,010
We've got, we've got collars now
and buttons.

1137
00:51:13,020 --> 00:51:15,600
Yeah, the tie is useless.
This is the fashion.

1138
00:51:15,610 --> 00:51:18,110
That's even fashion.
That's stupid.

1139
00:51:18,500 --> 00:51:20,420
They are weird.
But there are there are some

1140
00:51:20,430 --> 00:51:24,830
situations where a tie is fine,
but like if you're in a primary

1141
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,080
school.
Yeah, And you ever need to wear

1142
00:51:27,090 --> 00:51:29,640
a tie.
What's what are you on about?

1143
00:51:29,650 --> 00:51:32,340
Yes, but have you ever, have you
ever lent over a child to help

1144
00:51:32,350 --> 00:51:33,990
them with their work?
Sorry my ties in the way.

1145
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:37,470
Sorry, sorry, my 15 inch bit of
fabric that flaps off my belly.

1146
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,960
Sorry, that's in the way.
Well as the belly.

1147
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:46,450
Sorry, the time away.
No, it's fine.

1148
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,210
I can't even get to my work.
It's isn't it?

1149
00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:54,150
It's the tie I'll put.
I'll take the tie off.

1150
00:51:55,220 --> 00:51:56,710
Yeah.
Anyway, right.

1151
00:51:57,260 --> 00:52:00,270
Yeah, it's rubbish.
So this section, we're going to

1152
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,430
restrict you because otherwise
you're forever and we're already

1153
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,770
like nearly an hour in.
So I'm gonna read off something.

1154
00:52:05,780 --> 00:52:08,380
I got loads on this two weeks
that we've had away.

1155
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,450
I've been screenshot and all
sorts of posts.

1156
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:12,560
Stealing content, rife right
now.

1157
00:52:12,570 --> 00:52:14,450
Stealing content, stealing
content.

1158
00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:17,330
And I'm going to use it.
I'm going to monetize it to our

1159
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:20,430
customers.
We've never made a dime off this

1160
00:52:20,750 --> 00:52:24,720
dime.
And so you only get, let's say,

1161
00:52:24,730 --> 00:52:29,100
30 seconds on average over fine,
but 30 seconds to answer to

1162
00:52:29,110 --> 00:52:31,040
respond.
And if you times out, that's it.

1163
00:52:31,050 --> 00:52:33,210
Tough, right?
OK, here's the.

1164
00:52:33,220 --> 00:52:35,410
First, let's try 10 seconds.
Alright, if you wanna go

1165
00:52:35,420 --> 00:52:37,340
shorter, no, that's fine, I
don't like it, but I'm just

1166
00:52:37,350 --> 00:52:39,300
giving you up because some of
them will be more discussion.

1167
00:52:39,310 --> 00:52:40,350
Do you like the sound of some of
them?

1168
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,820
Will be quick.
OK, go after your views and

1169
00:52:42,830 --> 00:52:44,380
thoughts please.
This is the first thing.

1170
00:52:44,570 --> 00:52:45,950
Is it the first thing?
Thanks for clarifying.

1171
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,720
That was the first thing,
because it could be me talking

1172
00:52:47,730 --> 00:52:50,660
to them.
Now they know I'm in a primary

1173
00:52:50,670 --> 00:52:53,030
school in the UK.
Just finished for half term, 2

1174
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:53,820
weeks.
Very lucky.

1175
00:52:53,900 --> 00:52:56,680
An e-mail on Friday has asked
that all staff read the first

1176
00:52:56,690 --> 00:52:59,120
two chapters of a book PDF
version.

1177
00:52:59,130 --> 00:53:00,940
Given think it's about classroom
behaviour.

1178
00:53:00,950 --> 00:53:03,900
Management didn't properly look
ready for discussing our staff

1179
00:53:03,910 --> 00:53:05,610
meeting first week back.
Thoughts.

1180
00:53:05,770 --> 00:53:07,720
Get in the bin.
No, don't do it.

1181
00:53:08,070 --> 00:53:10,790
I don't read for my pleasure
over half time, never mind what

1182
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,430
I'm told, I can't read.
Don't read.

1183
00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:16,330
Don't do that.
I hate it.

1184
00:53:16,340 --> 00:53:18,530
I hate leaders who think they
can just say that.

1185
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,610
I hate people who think they can
get away with it.

1186
00:53:20,740 --> 00:53:22,930
Don't do it.
It's frustrating because

1187
00:53:22,940 --> 00:53:24,380
everyone else does it.
You feel like you're letting

1188
00:53:24,390 --> 00:53:27,050
people down, but just get them
to quote your contract.

1189
00:53:27,180 --> 00:53:30,230
Honestly, if you say no, well
you've got to tell me why.

1190
00:53:30,820 --> 00:53:34,420
Tell me why direct me when to
moving on next one.

1191
00:53:34,540 --> 00:53:37,060
I'm currently off sick and I've
been in hospital some of this

1192
00:53:37,070 --> 00:53:39,370
week.
I'm being emailed work to do for

1193
00:53:39,380 --> 00:53:41,250
next week.
Plus, obviously I haven't done

1194
00:53:41,260 --> 00:53:42,960
any planning for next week due
to being off.

1195
00:53:43,460 --> 00:53:46,090
Yeah, where do I stand in terms
of being able to rest and

1196
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,070
actually doing this work?
I don't want to get into

1197
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,630
trouble, but I'm also still not
getting better yet and I don't

1198
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,170
feel it's appropriate to do this
work.

1199
00:53:52,180 --> 00:53:54,030
Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

1200
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,430
Yeah, I mean, don't do it like
you're off sick.

1201
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,910
This frustrates me about
teachers when you're sick,

1202
00:53:59,980 --> 00:54:05,270
because for some reason when
we're off sick it only counts

1203
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,190
contact time.
Like in the eyes of SLT yeah,

1204
00:54:09,260 --> 00:54:10,590
it's like, ohh, they're off
sick.

1205
00:54:10,890 --> 00:54:12,530
They can't come in and teach the
children.

1206
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:15,450
Ohh yeah like that.
For some reason that it confines

1207
00:54:15,460 --> 00:54:18,010
to contact time.
If you're sick, you're sick.

1208
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,200
And it goes to show how much
work we do outside of the job,

1209
00:54:20,210 --> 00:54:22,920
which is just disregarded as
like that just happens like, no,

1210
00:54:22,930 --> 00:54:25,790
I've got to be quite well to
carefully craft the curriculum.

1211
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,910
We think you can do it when
you're ill, so we don't regard.

1212
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,230
It's not even.
That's not even.

1213
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:31,320
That's your time, isn't it?
And being ill are relevant

1214
00:54:31,330 --> 00:54:35,650
because that's not our time.
If their attitude is that okay,

1215
00:54:35,660 --> 00:54:37,240
your attitude needs to start
being OK.

1216
00:54:37,310 --> 00:54:38,630
My job is only that time as
well.

1217
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,100
Times up.
If you like that one, you love

1218
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:41,230
this one.
This is related.

1219
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,070
My school sent out an e-mail
updating the absence policy for

1220
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,510
staff.
Always love that.

1221
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,560
Sorry, absence policy.
What do you mean absence policy

1222
00:54:49,570 --> 00:54:51,330
though?
I get it because it's like you

1223
00:54:51,340 --> 00:54:53,560
know, like line manager to tell
or whatever it might be

1224
00:54:53,570 --> 00:54:54,710
possible.
It's fair enough.

1225
00:54:54,720 --> 00:54:57,030
You can't be absent.
Yeah, that's the policy.

1226
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,370
They stated the following.
This is mental.

1227
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,930
OK, I'm not looking.
I'm just please can all absent

1228
00:55:03,940 --> 00:55:06,720
staff liaise with their line
managers about cover and ensure

1229
00:55:06,730 --> 00:55:08,300
this is available for their
classes.

1230
00:55:08,380 --> 00:55:13,030
On the day you must call in.
You must call in person from

1231
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,630
6:45 to 7:30 AM.
How can you call Not in person?

1232
00:55:16,700 --> 00:55:17,990
Yeah, I know.
Don't we get that?

1233
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,510
If you are not able to get
through, please leave a message.

1234
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,050
Your leader will call you back
to speak to you in person.

1235
00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:25,550
It says again and ask for the
reason your absence that day.

1236
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,200
You must be available for the
call back until 7:30 AM.

1237
00:55:29,170 --> 00:55:34,220
Uh, the the call in.
I don't think it's bad.

1238
00:55:34,270 --> 00:55:35,560
I'm going to try and be fair.
Yeah.

1239
00:55:35,570 --> 00:55:38,600
I don't think it's bad to have a
time slot where you call in

1240
00:55:38,610 --> 00:55:39,700
sick.
Hmm.

1241
00:55:39,750 --> 00:55:43,220
And I don't think it's bad that
you explain why you're off.

1242
00:55:43,290 --> 00:55:45,190
Yeah, I think that's fair
enough.

1243
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,350
That's just common courtesy.
And we first though we are

1244
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,660
professionals.
Getting there.

1245
00:55:48,850 --> 00:55:49,670
OK.
Getting there.

1246
00:55:49,710 --> 00:55:52,280
So I think I'm gonna give them
fairness where it's due.

1247
00:55:52,330 --> 00:55:55,180
You have to call in sick when
you're sick and you have to say

1248
00:55:55,190 --> 00:55:58,570
what's up, had a heart attack.
Yeah, OK.

1249
00:55:58,580 --> 00:56:00,370
If it's an emergency, she's
alright.

1250
00:56:00,420 --> 00:56:02,430
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ohh.

1251
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:04,580
Got me.
All right.

1252
00:56:04,750 --> 00:56:06,640
If if you can't call in, then
don't.

1253
00:56:06,650 --> 00:56:09,240
I just hate that.
I hate that you must like Well,

1254
00:56:09,250 --> 00:56:11,760
of course we will if we.
Can, Yeah, yeah.

1255
00:56:11,770 --> 00:56:15,560
But that was a given, surely.
I think the policy should be if

1256
00:56:15,570 --> 00:56:17,940
appropriate, If you can then
call in to let us know.

1257
00:56:17,950 --> 00:56:20,300
Yeah, I've read it as that.
If it's not that then that is

1258
00:56:20,310 --> 00:56:21,760
meant well.
I think it's not that from the

1259
00:56:21,770 --> 00:56:23,700
bit above which says please, can
all absent staff liaise with

1260
00:56:23,710 --> 00:56:25,180
limited back cover and ensure
it's?

1261
00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:26,880
Available.
So again, I think this this

1262
00:56:26,890 --> 00:56:29,860
links in with the crazy part of
teaching, which is that you

1263
00:56:29,870 --> 00:56:31,840
can't be sick from 2/3 of the
job.

1264
00:56:33,180 --> 00:56:34,880
Yeah, you, you.
If you're sick, you're sick.

1265
00:56:34,950 --> 00:56:36,410
So this is what annoyed me,
right?

1266
00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:40,140
Didn't annoy me but I'm thinking
about paternity.

1267
00:56:40,490 --> 00:56:44,500
I get 2 weeks off OK but I but
which is mad when we talked

1268
00:56:44,510 --> 00:56:46,840
before about ohh nothing's gonna
change has.

1269
00:56:46,850 --> 00:56:48,500
Massively.
The school's been offered in

1270
00:56:48,510 --> 00:56:49,520
that time.
Literally.

1271
00:56:49,570 --> 00:56:53,080
So much changed.
But for example, so paternity,

1272
00:56:53,090 --> 00:56:54,600
I'm going to be trying to be
quick and try and get

1273
00:56:54,610 --> 00:56:56,330
everything.
I get 2 weeks off, right?

1274
00:56:56,340 --> 00:56:58,310
That's two weeks contact time
where I don't have to be in

1275
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,650
school.
OK, but the amount of planning

1276
00:57:00,660 --> 00:57:03,720
I've done over, let's say the
macro of the two terms is

1277
00:57:03,730 --> 00:57:05,700
exactly the same.
So I've not.

1278
00:57:05,790 --> 00:57:08,710
I've got two weeks off.
From being in front of the

1279
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:09,500
children.
Yeah.

1280
00:57:09,570 --> 00:57:13,000
But I haven't got two.
I haven't got like 20% off my

1281
00:57:13,010 --> 00:57:14,080
planning for this time.
Yeah.

1282
00:57:14,090 --> 00:57:17,680
Yeah, I haven't like that part
of the job has not been

1283
00:57:17,690 --> 00:57:19,360
affected.
Yeah, because that's all pre

1284
00:57:19,370 --> 00:57:21,320
planned.
Yeah, I've got the same amount

1285
00:57:21,330 --> 00:57:24,610
of planning as everyone else.
So when was I meant to do?

1286
00:57:26,090 --> 00:57:28,480
Will be exactly the same because
I'm already planning ahead to

1287
00:57:28,490 --> 00:57:29,570
make sure I get my planning
done.

1288
00:57:29,580 --> 00:57:31,520
Which is fine, We are, we are
professionals and stuff and I

1289
00:57:31,530 --> 00:57:34,040
don't mind doing that.
But but then it's not two weeks

1290
00:57:34,050 --> 00:57:35,980
off like.
And I know in other jobs you

1291
00:57:35,990 --> 00:57:37,440
have two weeks off, you'll catch
up and stuff.

1292
00:57:37,450 --> 00:57:40,180
Yeah, you might, but you'll
catch up in your office hours.

1293
00:57:40,250 --> 00:57:41,950
Yeah, you won't be catching.
Get your point.

1294
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,810
It's like it's not a problem
doing it, but it does just

1295
00:57:43,820 --> 00:57:46,150
highlight the fact that.
That's just the expected thing

1296
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,540
that is part technically part of
the job and it doesn't really

1297
00:57:48,550 --> 00:57:51,370
get valued as time we actually
spend on the job, right?

1298
00:57:51,380 --> 00:57:53,780
Next one, Hi all, please can I
have your advice?

1299
00:57:53,790 --> 00:57:57,470
I currently ask my TA/1TO1 in my
class and to get the printing

1300
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,360
slash photocopying.
She's happy to do this, but it

1301
00:58:00,370 --> 00:58:02,410
seems my head always has a
problem and says it's not an

1302
00:58:02,420 --> 00:58:06,670
effective use of her time.
Why can't we delegate this as if

1303
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,290
we don't have enough other tasks
to do ourselves?

1304
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:12,730
Simple, simple, one line here.
If it's not an effective use of

1305
00:58:12,740 --> 00:58:15,600
ATAS time, it's definitely not
an effective use of a teacher's

1306
00:58:15,610 --> 00:58:18,430
time.
Someone commented that that's

1307
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,680
the thing.
If you're going that could be

1308
00:58:20,690 --> 00:58:24,150
doing something much more much
more useful, then by definition

1309
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,570
the teacher could be doing also
something much more, isn't it?

1310
00:58:26,900 --> 00:58:28,690
What about some more?
And I was like I do agree with

1311
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:30,820
that, but then I always been
part of my head.

1312
00:58:30,830 --> 00:58:35,460
Is also like, yeah, TA is
employed for different hours, so

1313
00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:38,470
set hours at their end, sure.
But OK, in that moment they need

1314
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:39,780
the printing.
Yeah.

1315
00:58:39,820 --> 00:58:43,310
Would you rather have the class
teacher with the class People's

1316
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,350
response to that sort of thing
was they should be more

1317
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,620
prepared.
Yeah, fine.

1318
00:58:46,660 --> 00:58:49,780
So again, the option there
again, it goes back to what

1319
00:58:49,790 --> 00:58:52,030
we're saying, yeah, you should
have done your work outside of

1320
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,160
your hours already.
So it always comes back to.

1321
00:58:55,330 --> 00:58:57,450
The way to avoid these things is
to be.

1322
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:58,780
Doing free work.
Hmm.

1323
00:58:58,820 --> 00:59:02,160
So if anyone ever decides not to
be doing the free work, then

1324
00:59:02,170 --> 00:59:04,060
this is what I have.
And also emergencies do happen.

1325
00:59:04,070 --> 00:59:06,080
I remember having this argument
literally like a year ago with

1326
00:59:06,090 --> 00:59:08,240
like you and some other people
and staff, we were thinking

1327
00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:10,320
about reducing the amount of
Princess we're trying to save on

1328
00:59:10,330 --> 00:59:11,740
money printing as it costs a
lot.

1329
00:59:11,990 --> 00:59:13,520
I just like arguing again.
Yeah.

1330
00:59:13,530 --> 00:59:15,660
And I was like there was a
printer near Michael and I was

1331
00:59:15,670 --> 00:59:17,020
like can we not get rid of that?
Because I do.

1332
00:59:17,030 --> 00:59:19,600
I do like it is useful
especially with like you've

1333
00:59:19,610 --> 00:59:22,040
printed one too few worksheet,
we've ruined one or something

1334
00:59:22,050 --> 00:59:25,980
you need another one.
And the response was I just make

1335
00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:28,670
sure you put the right amount
and since then say not many

1336
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,810
times but maybe like a handful
of times there have been

1337
00:59:30,820 --> 00:59:32,490
opportunities.
There have been times where it

1338
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:35,060
is completely ruined my lesson
because I literally can't I just

1339
00:59:35,070 --> 00:59:37,790
can't go and get that sheet And
then some kid is like had to

1340
00:59:37,900 --> 00:59:40,670
just do something different or
share and it's we're in the way

1341
00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:42,080
that works.
And I'm like if that principle

1342
00:59:42,090 --> 00:59:43,340
there I could have just grabbed
that.

1343
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,990
So like in that situation I get
it.

1344
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,090
Yeah, sometimes you do just need
your tea to just go and do

1345
00:59:49,100 --> 00:59:50,760
something and it shouldn't be
shunned.

1346
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,770
And I think as a class, I like
the idea of a classroom teacher.

1347
00:59:54,860 --> 00:59:57,310
Unless there are problems there
for whatever reason.

1348
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,060
Because again.
First, into classes we always

1349
00:59:59,070 --> 01:00:00,990
talk about.
Teachers are always amazing.

1350
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,390
They're all gonna be some
teachers who need support.

1351
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,750
Yeah, right.
And unless that's the case,

1352
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,210
trust your class teacher to have
made that call at the.

1353
01:00:08,220 --> 01:00:11,110
Yeah, I agree that I agree
there's priorities in place.

1354
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,310
Obviously, the first priority is
always supporting children's

1355
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,810
learning.
But if the children need

1356
01:00:14,820 --> 01:00:17,560
something to learn, it's from
the printer she's doing that.

1357
01:00:17,660 --> 01:00:20,170
Or as a teacher, like you said,
you just they just made the

1358
01:00:20,180 --> 01:00:22,730
decision in that moment.
These kids are absolutely fine.

1359
01:00:22,740 --> 01:00:24,150
Now doing some independent
writing.

1360
01:00:24,300 --> 01:00:26,560
My tea is going to go and spend
half an hour doing these tasks

1361
01:00:26,570 --> 01:00:29,630
so I can enrich the next lesson.
It's fine, like we need to just,

1362
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,470
yeah, be OK with it completely.
Last one, I'm currently going

1363
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,510
for a grievance process with the
school I work at and it's going

1364
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,970
to an employment tribunal.
I've never had any experience.

1365
01:00:38,980 --> 01:00:41,070
I've never known anyone
sometimes in these groups.

1366
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,050
A lot of this stuff, yeah, I
think it's quite rare.

1367
01:00:43,340 --> 01:00:46,910
And yeah, last it's the last
thing in the process.

1368
01:00:47,790 --> 01:00:49,790
Anyway, put in brackets.
I have proved some of the

1369
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,250
bullying.
My school are also refusing to

1370
01:00:52,260 --> 01:00:54,230
make reasonable adjustments for
my disability.

1371
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,470
Now this is mental by the way.
I'm going to like this one

1372
01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:00,470
really made me go from to quite
quickly today.

1373
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,110
I went into my work e-mail
account to access some emails

1374
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,670
for evidence for a contract
review hearing next next week

1375
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,310
where my union have told me they
are going to dismiss me.

1376
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,490
I found that my school have
deleted all of my e-mail

1377
01:01:12,500 --> 01:01:15,330
correspondence with the head
teacher, which was my evidence

1378
01:01:15,380 --> 01:01:17,960
for the bullying.
We've been told that they are

1379
01:01:17,970 --> 01:01:20,230
able to monitor our emails, but
surely they cannot delete them

1380
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,770
without our permission.
So how this could be?

1381
01:01:23,860 --> 01:01:26,830
This person's evidence for the
bullying was the emails and

1382
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:31,650
things and they've deleted them.
That's that's ohh, this this

1383
01:01:31,660 --> 01:01:34,790
this harks back this this gives
me vibes of there's a lot of

1384
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,230
things sometimes online I see
about some really.

1385
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,170
Dodgy trusts, right.
Hmm.

1386
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:46,360
Where this kind of thing happens
and there's a there's a bit of

1387
01:01:46,370 --> 01:01:49,240
there's a there's a thing at the
moment where some trusts have

1388
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:53,900
got staff to sign non-disclosure
agreements really to promise to

1389
01:01:53,910 --> 01:01:57,290
not say stuff, basically to
whistleblower, to say things

1390
01:01:57,300 --> 01:01:59,360
that have happened.
And this screams that kind of

1391
01:01:59,370 --> 01:02:03,310
thing where I am sick and tired,
and I commented on something

1392
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:07,230
that I am sick and tired of
these leeches, these parasitic

1393
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,300
people getting into positions of
power and completely.

1394
01:02:10,380 --> 01:02:12,390
Be using it.
I hate it.

1395
01:02:12,460 --> 01:02:16,140
I want them called out on it.
I I hope one day I'm in a

1396
01:02:16,150 --> 01:02:19,610
position where I can really call
people out on this.

1397
01:02:19,620 --> 01:02:22,470
And if that's happened, that's
disgusting.

1398
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:28,720
Yeah, it is horrendous.
It's it's literally fraud and

1399
01:02:28,730 --> 01:02:31,960
they should lose their job.
It winds me up because they're

1400
01:02:31,970 --> 01:02:34,780
in charge of these kind of
processes and firing people.

1401
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,950
Who's in charge of them?
During their practise because

1402
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,300
that's worse than anything
they've done.

1403
01:02:40,310 --> 01:02:42,880
Yeah, yeah, it's disgusting.
Well, there you go.

1404
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:46,260
Help us build a.
Platform for us because we want,

1405
01:02:46,270 --> 01:02:48,280
we want to be able to call up.
This was part of the reason

1406
01:02:48,290 --> 01:02:50,190
we're quite passionate.
We're very passionate about

1407
01:02:50,570 --> 01:02:53,720
people.
'S well-being and those people

1408
01:02:53,730 --> 01:02:57,660
who don't want to rock the boat,
and I don't blame them.

1409
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:01,780
I got one last one, OK?
And you're really good at, like,

1410
01:03:01,790 --> 01:03:03,350
segueing into the next one
without knowing.

1411
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,380
It's about trust.
So just encouragement.

1412
01:03:06,390 --> 01:03:07,650
Reward.
Loyalty.

1413
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,310
Satisfaction.
All right, Brent, we we've

1414
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,770
recently joined a new trust and
they want us to have fortnightly

1415
01:03:14,780 --> 01:03:17,070
meetings to receive feedback
from lesson drop ins.

1416
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,150
Drop Inns at every day, usually
every lesson, sometimes multiple

1417
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,860
times in a lesson.
My personal record is 4.

1418
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,390
OK, we are already at full
capacity hour wise and are all

1419
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,720
feeling stretched to the limit
and sounds very much like things

1420
01:03:30,730 --> 01:03:33,040
we say.
A colleague had their meeting

1421
01:03:33,050 --> 01:03:35,810
the other day and it took up
half of one of their PA's.

1422
01:03:36,340 --> 01:03:39,600
I'm not prepared to do this as
these are not in the in the

1423
01:03:39,610 --> 01:03:41,290
director time calendar.
Do we have to do?

1424
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:42,400
Them.
She knows the answer, you know

1425
01:03:42,410 --> 01:03:43,290
the answer.
Yeah.

1426
01:03:43,380 --> 01:03:46,270
And and a lot of these, a lot of
times with these groups, they're

1427
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,990
fantastic, right?
But I reckon 90% of the time the

1428
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,660
people posting know the answer.
They just want 100 people to

1429
01:03:51,670 --> 01:03:53,690
comment saying no, no, no, no,
no, no.

1430
01:03:53,860 --> 01:03:55,880
And what we have to do as a
staff.

1431
01:03:55,890 --> 01:03:58,890
And I said it's all the time.
You and your staff, team,

1432
01:03:58,900 --> 01:04:03,110
whoever wrote that need to get
together, write a letter or sign

1433
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,100
it and say we're not doing it
because of this, then say

1434
01:04:06,110 --> 01:04:08,290
Esther, you have to come back
with.

1435
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,670
With a way that you can possibly
justify this by eating up our

1436
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,550
time.
Because just because you and SLT

1437
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,730
have got to find a way to fill
up your calendar, that's empty.

1438
01:04:15,740 --> 01:04:17,600
Because you're a big big no at
all.

1439
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,700
Who's suddenly out the classroom
and needs to find something to

1440
01:04:19,710 --> 01:04:22,780
look busy for and tell Ofsted
you're developing your staff so

1441
01:04:22,790 --> 01:04:25,010
I'm going to make all their time
go away whilst they're still

1442
01:04:25,020 --> 01:04:27,770
teaching it.
I'm sorry, that's not nothing to

1443
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:30,630
do with me as a teacher.
My time is taken up by teaching

1444
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,650
pal, so if you want to waste my
time with this crap, then do it

1445
01:04:35,660 --> 01:04:38,690
in my time and take something
else away because I'm doing

1446
01:04:38,700 --> 01:04:39,730
enough.
Fine.

1447
01:04:39,740 --> 01:04:41,460
Come and do my half hour
meeting.

1448
01:04:41,570 --> 01:04:43,990
Do it during my half hour lesson
that you getting covered for me.

1449
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,700
Yeah, because I'm not doing it.
Yeah.

1450
01:04:45,770 --> 01:04:50,500
So you need to get people around
you who are supporting you and

1451
01:04:50,510 --> 01:04:51,880
go to the black and white
things.

1452
01:04:51,950 --> 01:04:53,780
Go to your contract, Go to
director time.

1453
01:04:53,790 --> 01:04:56,820
Go to your union and be matter
of fact.

1454
01:04:56,870 --> 01:05:00,040
Be matter of fact about it and
say This is why this is wrong.

1455
01:05:00,130 --> 01:05:03,860
I'm willing to be proven wrong.
Prove me wrong, using the

1456
01:05:03,870 --> 01:05:06,120
correct terminology.
They did say I've consulted our

1457
01:05:06,130 --> 01:05:08,090
union Rep, but they haven't said
anything back to us yet.

1458
01:05:08,100 --> 01:05:10,290
I hear that a lot by the way.
Know if that's just getting

1459
01:05:10,300 --> 01:05:12,470
biassed because obviously people
are gonna post that rather than

1460
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:13,960
the other one.
But I do see a lot of people

1461
01:05:13,970 --> 01:05:17,940
saying in desperate need union
just are just are not responding

1462
01:05:17,950 --> 01:05:20,140
to me at all.
I reckon though genuinely that

1463
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:22,700
this happened.
Like, if Facebook is anything to

1464
01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:26,940
go off, I reckon there are
hundreds of accounts per day in

1465
01:05:26,950 --> 01:05:30,060
which people are feeling like
they're at rock bottom and they

1466
01:05:30,070 --> 01:05:31,880
need support.
And I reckon the unions, just

1467
01:05:31,890 --> 01:05:33,140
like, honestly can't keep.
Up.

1468
01:05:33,210 --> 01:05:35,940
Well, again, a union Rep is just
a teacher who's decided to be

1469
01:05:35,950 --> 01:05:37,320
union Rep Oh yeah, that's.
True.

1470
01:05:37,330 --> 01:05:39,280
So it depends if it's if it's a
local 1.

1471
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:41,190
That's true.
That could just be someone if

1472
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,870
someone in the school who's just
self declared is the trust.

1473
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,790
Yeah, they just go in their own.
Union.

1474
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,580
Yeah, you go, you go to see
their teacher and I'm going to

1475
01:05:51,590 --> 01:05:54,130
consult my union right when he
just gets out of badge union

1476
01:05:54,140 --> 01:05:56,680
Rep, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, Ohh, what's that?

1477
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:58,630
So yeah.
Anyway, that hope enjoy that

1478
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,450
session.

1479
