Ep 70: Surviving The Summer Term, Being A "Fun" Teacher & Tory Collapse

The Tories have been decimated.
Gillian Keegan has been booted out.
Two lovely sentences!
We reflect on the election result, talk about the line between being a fun teacher but also doing the job effectively, and share general tips on how to survive gruelling term 6.
We were pretty unhinged in this one.... Hope you enjoy it!

00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:04,180
Hello everyone, welcome back to
another episode of Teach, Sleep
2
00:00:04,190 --> 00:00:06,780
and Repeat.
My name is Dylan.
3
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:12,540
And my name is Hayden.
Hayden Why are we so happy?
4
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:16,120
I don't know is there anything
to be happy about right now on
5
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:20,920
Friday the 5th of July when we
just found out something big?
6
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:22,700
Ohh, that's right, we're both
wearing.
7
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:27,400
Black Do you know why it's the
death of the Conservative Party.
8
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:32,910
They got obliterated.
Oh my God, I, I'm, I'm genuinely
9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,830
never been felt so relieved in
my life ever.
10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,520
The death of the Conservative
Party, and I did go straight
11
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:40,710
into.
This that's a, that's a big
12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,980
bold.
That's a big market.
13
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:44,690
Probably not, but whatever.
It's hilarious because they're
14
00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:48,410
absolutely rinsed.
One thing that really popped out
15
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:50,390
for me yesterday.
OK, yeah, I was.
16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,260
I was absolutely loving it
because I saw.
17
00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:55,110
Sorry, what was yesterday?
Was the general election and all
18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,440
the results coming in and my
favourite thing that came out
19
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:00,690
the general election was that
Gillian Keegan has lost her.
20
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:01,820
Seat.
Yeah, it's OK.
21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:04,239
And you know what I was thinking
to myself, do you know what?
22
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:05,920
What?
Gillian Keegan, when these big
23
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:08,460
figures lose a seat, there might
be some really nuanced argument,
24
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:10,930
you know, a nuanced kind of,
let's think of maybe a report
25
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:13,490
that we might put together as to
why she lost her seat and all
26
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,040
the good things she tried to do
and all the obstacles that were
27
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:17,500
in her way.
And yeah, you know, phonics was
28
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:19,680
done really well.
Maybe she faced these problems
29
00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:21,940
trying to sort out the rack.
But then I thought, actually,
30
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:25,240
Gillian Keegan, she said that we
just need a one word report for
31
00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:27,830
how well schools are going on
and we can't trust any parents,
32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,670
just need one word.
So I guess the public can just
33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,580
have one word for Harris,
actually performance.
34
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:37,260
Yes.
Whoa, I was going to say bye,
35
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:39,630
but you're using expletives.
It's OK, we can beep it out.
36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,290
So that's all.
Good.
37
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,820
Can we not gonna enjoy that
anyway.
38
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:45,730
Because I'm not Good job that I
just lost my job as well.
39
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:47,110
So I'm joining you, Jillian.
Nice one.
40
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:51,490
Yeah, absolutely hilarious.
I've got no sympathy whatsoever
41
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,170
for them, big names for their
seats, and I'm incredibly,
42
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:55,280
incredibly happy.
Excellent.
43
00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:57,440
Dylan, let's come back.
Let's calm down a bit.
44
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:58,610
Let's calm down a bit.
Let's.
45
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:00,340
Let's talk elections.
Trust people.
46
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:01,890
Who wants to debate when he just
one?
47
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:02,950
Why?
We can't.
48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,090
We can't list trust anyone.
At least he's nowhere to be
49
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:05,950
seen.
No, she's alright.
50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,800
She's gone.
She's out.
51
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,020
Let's go back to that.
We'll come back to that.
52
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:10,990
Let's start our week.
Come on.
53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Normal episode.
Yep.
54
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,110
Nothing different.
Are we gonna carry on singing or
55
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,290
was that just a one off?
I think we did it once.
56
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,320
Once every four or five years.
OK.
57
00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:25,320
OK, tune into Chester repeat in
2029 season six episode 4.
58
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:26,140
Yeah.
Baby.
59
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:27,080
Yeah.
OK.
60
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:27,970
Sorry.
How are you?
61
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:29,080
Are you OK?
How's your week been?
62
00:02:29,090 --> 00:02:30,560
I don't really feel like I'm
seeing you this week.
63
00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:31,920
No.
Yeah, it's been actually quite
64
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:33,150
nice.
I don't know why I feel that way
65
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:34,290
but.
Quite nice.
66
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Sorry, hang on, I've not seen
you much this week.
67
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:41,110
It's been quite nice.
What one big thing I must say is
68
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,070
the feedback from last week.
That interview.
69
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,460
I say our interview, my
interview.
70
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:46,340
With Alistair Campbell.
Wasn't there.
71
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:47,510
Yeah.
So you weren't there.
72
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,080
One of the most amounts of
feedback we've ever received.
73
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,300
Positive, honestly.
But it's been really nice.
74
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,000
Genuinely.
I've had.
75
00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:56,680
We had a lot of feedback from
people saying that it was just
76
00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:58,510
like a really good interview.
Normally chat.
77
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,870
Yeah.
Normally when people come on the
78
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,810
podcast, it's a great chat.
I love having people in the
79
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:03,200
podcast.
I love chatting to them.
80
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:06,310
But this was the one of the
first times really where people
81
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:09,410
were like, Oh yeah, it was.
It was like really interesting
82
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,540
the times of because it was so
relevant to exactly what was
83
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:14,700
going on in that moment if
people actually commented on the
84
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:16,640
style of like interview.
Because we're interviews, we
85
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:18,430
said this before.
I think a lot of the drawback
86
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,500
previously when we spoke to
people that is like, we're not
87
00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:22,100
actually interviewers, we just
want to talk to people.
88
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:23,570
And that comes across so easy,
doesn't it?
89
00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:26,690
And the way we question, the way
we mess up our questions or
90
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,710
whatever, we get talking on.
But you did really good job.
91
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,020
And you know, these guys don't
know, but I'll expose it right
92
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:32,760
now.
But hilariously, Dylan's
93
00:03:32,770 --> 00:03:35,300
computer.
You probably know this if you
94
00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:37,220
watched the episode because
there was nothing to watch.
95
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,920
But Dylan's computer crashed and
he had prepared all these notes
96
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:44,080
and question points because.
Both of the books there's.
97
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:46,200
A big guess you know the massive
guest to have on you wanna be
98
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:48,470
prepared and then Dylan computer
crash and he lost all of his
99
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,590
notes.
So I think it says something
100
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,100
because actually you end up
doing that then just off the top
101
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:54,940
of your head and it just became
a real conversation, which is
102
00:03:54,950 --> 00:03:57,740
why I think it was a good.
And I think that's where guests
103
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,910
in the past where where it's
worked really well is when it
104
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,900
has turned our conversation on
my head.
105
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:04,240
I can think of Sophie.
Sophie's gone a couple of times.
106
00:04:04,330 --> 00:04:06,940
I feel like she's just my mate
at this point, You know, Lee, Mr
107
00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:09,560
P, we've spoken to him a lot of
times, outside customers, lots
108
00:04:09,570 --> 00:04:10,920
of time.
So yeah, no, it was really
109
00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:12,920
enjoyable and good feedback.
So go and listen to it if you
110
00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:14,730
haven't.
It's about politics, especially
111
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:17,350
topical right now.
And you know, the line in school
112
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,070
as to where teachers should go
to if possible.
113
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,779
Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I mean,
going away from that to
114
00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:22,850
something that happened this
week.
115
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,990
And you know, one of the things
now I've got a podcast, right?
116
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,840
I don't know about you, but
things happen sometimes.
117
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,390
I'm like, I'm gonna mention the
podcast.
118
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,480
That is our podcast moment right
there.
119
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,710
And we were on the train coming
back because we went to life
120
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,410
sized monopoly and it's really
fun.
121
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:36,530
So you know, you can you can
search.
122
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:40,130
It was really cool.
We came first in second place.
123
00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:42,610
There was a there was a family
with like an 8 year old who was
124
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:44,380
named on the vegetables when he
found out we'd be him.
125
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:45,670
But that was fun.
He made sure of that.
126
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Yeah.
Make sure that you got land
127
00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:48,280
kids.
I told you before on the
128
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:50,280
podcast, Teach, sleep, repeat.
There's winners and losers in
129
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,930
life, and you gotta learn to
lose.
130
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:55,880
What the Tories?
Who's Mr Don't worry, man.
131
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:59,980
But I was on the way back on the
train and it was quite a packed
132
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:03,220
train so that you know, when
awkwardly when someone has to
133
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:04,860
sit right next to you.
I hate that.
134
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:06,990
But anyway, fine, probably with
it.
135
00:05:07,090 --> 00:05:09,540
And there's this gym dude, big,
big gym dude.
136
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:12,720
Ohh, yeah, big gym dude.
And I was like big buff guy.
137
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:14,920
Like you know when when someone
like shoulders on your shoulder?
138
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,430
You can start.
You can, you can say what you
139
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,020
want.
I was like, you know, against
140
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:23,180
the window, like, ohh, gosh.
Reached into his bag and he got
141
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:26,870
out of the top aware box.
The state.
142
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,680
It wasn't even part of the.
Chicken, I guess.
143
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,810
Chicken and rice.
No, it's just an entire chicken,
144
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,190
right?
Just just an entire chicken.
145
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,680
Peri peri marinade stunk like it
would be in that Tupperware box
146
00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:39,790
for three days, right?
And I, I kid you not, he had
147
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,170
just a thought.
He put a fork into the chicken.
148
00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:45,390
I was just eating it off the
fork like out out here like
149
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,440
candy to be honest.
Only it wasn't melting in his
150
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:50,030
mouth.
So it didn't.
151
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,140
It wasn't finished in 30
seconds, but 5 minutes.
152
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:54,610
It's stink.
And I just thought, Oh my God,
153
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,230
this reminder of Hayden with his
bloody lunches in the start.
154
00:05:57,790 --> 00:06:00,480
Candy floss for hot buff dudes
on the train.
155
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:02,940
She get his number?
I like your chicken.
156
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:06,370
No, I didn't share.
I think was appropriate.
157
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,360
No, he didn't share it with me.
But yeah, I just, I thought of
158
00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:11,550
your dinners and I think anyone
in the staff room before I got
159
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,700
thinking of the most crazy
things I've walked in the staff
160
00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:16,260
room in scenes.
Anything fish, don't do it.
161
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:18,220
No, don't do it.
That's just a detriment to
162
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:19,840
everyone.
You don't like cheese?
163
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:21,780
No, anything that's got that but
like that.
164
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:23,250
Mac and cheese.
I don't know what it is about
165
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:26,280
Mac and cheese that makes the
cheese so disgustingly smelly,
166
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:29,080
but I can't be in the staffroom
if someone's like heated up
167
00:06:29,090 --> 00:06:31,550
melted cheese.
Rancid.
168
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,730
It made me think of that one
time I remember walking to the
169
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:35,850
staff, you and I saw someone
sitting in the corner eating an
170
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,720
entire block of cheese out of
the wrapper.
171
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,920
Just an entire block of cheese.
A core memory.
172
00:06:40,030 --> 00:06:42,710
It's a core memory of just not
only was it instant, like
173
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,440
honestly bizarre to me.
It was like it was kind of
174
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:49,410
disgusting.
Just unplug so bad for you as
175
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:50,380
well.
Like what?
176
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,420
Would you have for lunch?
I'd half a block of.
177
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:56,300
Cheese.
Yeah, OK.
178
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:00,640
So what's yeah Oh my I was just
like wow, packed train.
179
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:03,630
Just wait, that's funny.
Yeah, it was disgusting.
180
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:05,020
You got anything about this
weekend?
181
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:06,670
Not really.
No, I wish I would carry.
182
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,090
On Just carry on, carry on.
The most exciting things
183
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,190
happened this week is the
election, so I'm just wondering
184
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,090
what?
Well, there's one other thing I
185
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,040
had to mention because I just
found it hilarious.
186
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:19,140
And it was, I was in my class,
my year four class.
187
00:07:19,150 --> 00:07:22,650
So I was teaching the climate
zones of the world.
188
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:26,930
So temperate zones, snow zones,
all the kind of different zones,
189
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:29,550
arid zones, et cetera.
And we were looking at Europe in
190
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,830
particular.
And one kid put their hand up
191
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,410
and said, OK, So what climate
zone would do by be.
192
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:35,890
And I was like, oh, good
question.
193
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:38,910
I mean, I imagine it would be
arid, full of deserts, not much
194
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400
rain, but we'd have to look up.
We'd have to look up.
195
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:43,570
And I was like, and this kid,
ohh, yeah, OK.
196
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,130
And another kid put a hand up
straight away when I was
197
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:47,080
looking.
Cheers.
198
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:48,890
Ohh.
And I was like, yeah, you OK?
199
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:51,110
Well yeah, just did you say
arid?
200
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,450
And I said yeah.
And she goes oh, I didn't know
201
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:57,560
Ireland had deserts.
She formant Dublin she got.
202
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,660
Ohh I say I was like why was
this?
203
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:01,880
Going I realised when I was
telling that joke, I'm talking
204
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,480
to someone hasn't got a clue
about geography.
205
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:06,930
And the the buy in Dublin I've
realised.
206
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:11,410
It now when he said to buy them
for you and they were really
207
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,140
like, honestly, if they aren't
Bando they'd gone home.
208
00:08:13,150 --> 00:08:16,270
But like mum, did you know
Ireland has deserts?
209
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,580
Miss the point?
Of the hottest It's really hot,
210
00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:20,510
never rained all Ireland.
It's lovely.
211
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Anyway, love.
That love that.
212
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:25,510
I know you wanna mention one
more thing, so I'm going to come
213
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,930
in and introduce this for you so
you can pretend that it was my
214
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,470
thing and.
I have no idea we're talking.
215
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,550
About the next thing on the
list.
216
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,150
But you said the last thing, so
I'm saving you here without
217
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,330
doing it seamlessly.
These guys don't know.
218
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:37,140
Yeah.
Yeah.
219
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,940
It's like ohh.
Yeah, you didn't have to mention
220
00:08:38,950 --> 00:08:40,280
it was my thing.
You could have started talking
221
00:08:40,289 --> 00:08:41,049
have.
You could have.
222
00:08:41,059 --> 00:08:41,760
You could have.
I know.
223
00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:45,340
You're gonna do it anyway, and
I'm gonna start singing.
224
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:48,500
Here we go again, but you know
how you got a little bit annoyed
225
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:50,300
because, well, you put on
Instagram about someone
226
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:52,660
stealing, but I'm going to run
for a second.
227
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:55,070
I know you want to right, but I
think this is mentor some you're
228
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,420
on Instagram all the time.
I'm not the idea that someone
229
00:08:57,430 --> 00:09:01,700
has downloaded a real that
you've made literally just re
230
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:05,520
uploaded it and then chosen not
to use the inbuilt like tagging
231
00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:08,620
features.
It's just it's just ridiculous
232
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:11,660
to me like because they put they
write credit goes to these guys.
233
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,220
That means nothing.
It doesn't it?
234
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:14,990
There's a literal tagging system
that choosing not to use.
235
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,480
They don't use the.
App I ended up commenting.
236
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:17,920
I didn't tell you.
Ohh no, I commented on my
237
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:20,760
personal my personal Instagram.
I went on one of the other
238
00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:24,170
videos pressing though.
Isn't it that you just steal
239
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:26,710
literally everyone's content and
upload it and forget how to use
240
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,110
the tagging system?
Interesting.
241
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,990
With a little emoji face he's
got like the.
242
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:34,450
Umm right, it's a contact for
anyone who's listening.
243
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:36,710
What are you on about?
There's this huge Instagram,
244
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,750
right?
And there's loads of them.
245
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,990
There's 100K followers, over
100K followers.
246
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,110
And for context, we're like
knocking on the door of 6K
247
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,450
followers, which by the way,
unbelievable.
248
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:46,620
I'm not actually obsessed with
the number because what's great
249
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:49,170
about our followers and
Instagram is that I, I speak to
250
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:52,210
so many people on our Instagram.
It's like a proper community, at
251
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:53,960
least four.
And one of those risks Sunak,
252
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:58,580
who's got job anymore.
So, but yeah, I mean over 100K
253
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:00,360
followers.
And like you said, honestly,
254
00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:01,710
they do it to everyone.
They do to everyone.
255
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,840
So I did this Instagram post
because they, they took one of
256
00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:06,240
our most popular reels.
Cause some of like, I don't know
257
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,740
how many, but a bunch of our
reels have over a million views,
258
00:10:08,830 --> 00:10:11,050
thousands and thousands of
likes, loads of engagement.
259
00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:12,120
We get lots of followers from
them.
260
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:14,290
That's like one of the way we
grow on Instagram is by posting
261
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,140
these funny reels.
I try to be funny anyway.
262
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:20,660
And there is this, yeah, they
have 100K and they just rip off
263
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:24,220
content like from, from, from
creators and they will write in
264
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:26,900
plain text underneath their own
caption.
265
00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:29,040
And then like hidden somewhere
between hashtags and stuff.
266
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:30,300
So it's really hard to see
anyway.
267
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:33,260
They'll just say credit to and
then type out the names you
268
00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:34,300
know, out.
Like you said, you can't
269
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:36,890
directly go to this page if
you're a random seeing this and
270
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:42,360
then says has the gut the goal
to say underneath for credit or
271
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,520
removal, please DM.
Yeah.
272
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:48,400
And I just thought that is
firstly, you're saying credit
273
00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:50,280
too, knowing you're not
crediting them because then you
274
00:10:50,290 --> 00:10:53,060
go on to say for credit if you
want credit for your for your
275
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:55,680
work that you've literally made.
It's insane.
276
00:10:55,690 --> 00:10:58,350
And I did an Instagram post and
my Instagram post with more
277
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,390
generic because again, I said,
look, I know how memes work
278
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,290
online.
I, I know how this work because
279
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,290
I've made memes now and I've
seen like, you know, clips of
280
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,460
famous people saying a line,
which can be put into lots of
281
00:11:09,470 --> 00:11:11,090
different contexts.
That's how memes work.
282
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,070
And then I will take that clip
and I'll put my own caption on
283
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,090
it, Right.
Sometimes we post stuff and then
284
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,750
people will again, take the
idea, make their own thing.
285
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,390
Yeah.
And it, and maybe they're kind
286
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,090
of coming towards the line of
just copying.
287
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,070
But, you know, maybe I've done
that to other people without
288
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,610
even noticing myself.
But at least you're taking the
289
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:31,430
effort to sit and make your own
real.
290
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,090
Yeah, sit and make your own.
Different to just download.
291
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,310
It you can be kind of annoyed at
that, but you just gotta go over
292
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,730
it because that is the way of
the Internet.
293
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:40,340
Fine.
These people literally download
294
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:43,280
your literal reel off your post
and then just post it
295
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:44,770
themselves.
It's it's your content.
296
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:46,280
Yeah, yeah.
And they put it out there and it
297
00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:48,220
just seems insane to me.
And I had a lot of people
298
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:51,470
replied to me and I I thought
when I posted it on our stories,
299
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360
I thought I'm just being that
classic moaner on.
300
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:55,450
I like maybe maybe I should have
just, you know, cracked on.
301
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:58,060
But it really annoyed me.
And I had multiple people
302
00:11:58,070 --> 00:12:00,800
replied to me.
Mr P ICT replied to me saying,
303
00:12:00,810 --> 00:12:02,670
oh, my God, don't get me started
on these accounts because he's
304
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,150
content ripped off constantly.
Yeah.
305
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:05,590
The untouchables, Claire
English.
306
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,570
She got in touch again and said,
oh, my gosh, I've just been
307
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:09,930
through this.
Loads of my content is on here.
308
00:12:09,940 --> 00:12:11,890
Not credited.
She's commented, by the way.
309
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,620
I've commented.
She's commented, other people
310
00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:15,170
have commented.
Never heard anything back.
311
00:12:15,220 --> 00:12:17,360
No teachers, health coach
Charlie got in touch and said,
312
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:18,890
Oh my God, it happens all the
time out there.
313
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:21,510
So this big content creators out
there who by the way, make
314
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,600
fantastic content, original
content as well, who just have
315
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:28,410
their stuff completely ripped
off and I'm not being funny.
316
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:32,430
We're A6000 follower Instagram.
It's not ground breaking, it's
317
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,700
not huge, it's amazing, but it's
not, you know, Mr P's got over
318
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:38,010
150,000, Claire's got over
100,000.
319
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:40,330
You know, these are big, big
content creators who are still
320
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:41,690
having this stuff completely
ripped off.
321
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,530
That's really annoying, but
there's just this added extra
322
00:12:44,540 --> 00:12:46,150
where we're coming from.
Nothing.
323
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,530
We started this Instagram, this
podcast from nothing.
324
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,920
We've made these rails, We've
made this podcast, which we hope
325
00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:52,510
you enjoyed it.
And I know from what people say,
326
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,800
you really do.
It's frustrating a little bit
327
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:57,270
when someone just comes along,
goes, I'll have that, then I'll
328
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,360
have that, then thank.
You.
329
00:12:58,370 --> 00:12:59,610
Thank you very much.
I'll have that.
330
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,650
So just credit us.
That's 100K.
331
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,550
Teachers follow.
Just don't do it to be honest
332
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,010
with you.
We'll just have the views on our
333
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:05,900
actual.
Video thanks.
334
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:10,650
Yeah, you could do share our
real, Yeah, that's a funny real
335
00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:12,410
our culture.
There's I'll click the share
336
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:15,190
button instead of I like to
funny reel.
337
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,420
I'll go away and just go like
rip them off completely.
338
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:19,660
Been around forever.
It's rife on social media.
339
00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:21,790
It happened back in the YouTube
days, the glory days.
340
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,590
People would just make duplicate
accounts as well.
341
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,810
They wouldn't even like pretend
it was like a clips 1.
342
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:27,680
They're literally just make an
account had the same name or
343
00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:29,740
someone else upload all their
content and just try and
344
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:30,770
monetise it and get money off
it.
345
00:13:30,780 --> 00:13:33,300
They do on TikTok, Instagram.
It's very annoying.
346
00:13:33,310 --> 00:13:37,820
It's crazy and you know what,
whatever followers on Instagram,
347
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:41,930
please repeat podcast because
lots of original content come
348
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:43,240
along followers and see it
first.
349
00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:46,330
Sorry, I interrupted a very
important part of the podcast.
350
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:47,420
Then I know that we never.
Do that.
351
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:51,030
We never do table.
I tell you, I like interrupting
352
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,740
Starmer.
Let's get back to it.
353
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:55,370
Ohh.
Let's play the Jingle and
354
00:13:55,650 --> 00:14:00,700
politics.
OK, so this episode is about end
355
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:03,420
of the school year and the top
tips for surviving and we will
356
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:05,910
get onto that.
Yeah, I know we believe it, but
357
00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:09,520
we we simply have to with the
whole history of this podcast
358
00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:12,100
recently and people getting in
touch with so many people
359
00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:14,140
getting in touch, honestly
saying they're really enjoying
360
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:15,890
it.
They love they love kind of like
361
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:17,780
to chat about it because they've
not been interested before, but
362
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,600
they're kind of getting into the
politics and just understanding
363
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,940
what it means.
I had one person very quickly
364
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:25,100
message who said, oh, I'm not
even a teacher and I love the
365
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:26,380
podcast.
And I was like, oh, that's a
366
00:14:26,390 --> 00:14:29,230
nice thing.
Like I love the idea of just.
367
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,480
And she said, oh, yeah, you're
up there with my favourites.
368
00:14:31,490 --> 00:14:33,130
The rest is politics, which
Alistair Campbell.
369
00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:36,000
And what's the one with parents
from Josh Widdicombe?
370
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,290
OHH parenting.
Yeah, yes.
371
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,050
He said, yeah, yeah, you're
there with my two other
372
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:41,290
favourites.
And I was like, that is unreal.
373
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,300
We're just in this room.
Like for anyone who's watched,
374
00:14:43,310 --> 00:14:47,580
we're just in a bedroom.
Regularly, Joe Weather father,
375
00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:51,020
we're just complete.
Like we're just two dudes in my
376
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:54,440
small bedroom, my small house,
just just who just press record
377
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:57,110
and just Chuck it out online.
Yeah, but you know, it's just
378
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,200
sometimes you gotta pinch
yourself.
379
00:14:58,210 --> 00:15:00,700
Like God, we just run this
podcast with these bunch of
380
00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:02,420
followers who actually love the
it's amazing.
381
00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:05,580
Anyway, we love you guys.
But with the with the whole
382
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:08,840
election and stuff, I just
thought again, you're someone
383
00:15:08,850 --> 00:15:11,120
who's just, I think you
epitomise the average teacher.
384
00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:13,190
Not that interested.
See it for the first time.
385
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,140
You've been asking me a million
questions and I've said, hey,
386
00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:16,620
just wait a minute, we'll talk
about on the podcast.
387
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,960
So like first general reaction
is huge Labour win, but a bit
388
00:15:22,030 --> 00:15:24,520
people, a lot of people are
feeling a bit weird about it.
389
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:28,560
Yeah, because right, the the
system is mental to me.
390
00:15:28,570 --> 00:15:30,640
Yeah.
And I don't know if that's a
391
00:15:30,650 --> 00:15:32,500
normal opinion, you know, I
mean, I don't know if most
392
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:34,830
people are like, yeah, why do we
have this first past the post
393
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,340
like crazy?
It seems crazy to me that
394
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:39,380
basically.
So I looked out earlier, right
395
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:43,050
was probably slightly wrong.
There's a few seats left, but
396
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:48,060
Labour got 30, fourish percent
of the vote, just over a third,
397
00:15:48,070 --> 00:15:51,740
right, 34% of the votes, but
they got 63% of the seats yeah.
398
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,900
And then the the polar opposite
that is Reform, who I can't
399
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:59,050
believe how much they got.
They got 14% of the votes but
400
00:15:59,060 --> 00:16:02,100
got nought .6% of the seats.
And that to me, I was like, oh,
401
00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:04,430
that's just mental.
And obviously the other between
402
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,270
Conservatives had, you know,
their version of that weird
403
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,340
ratio, but I just don't, I just
don't get it.
404
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:12,920
Like, why, why do we do that?
Why do we not have proportional
405
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:15,680
represent representation?
Because in as much as I don't
406
00:16:15,690 --> 00:16:18,520
like reform and I'm and this
system is benefiting me this
407
00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:22,030
time hasn't done in the past.
I do actually think it's mental
408
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,720
that 4 million people who vote
for reform, basically none of
409
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:28,090
them, none of them counted 4
seats.
410
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,620
They got four seats.
Well, in the whole of Europe,
411
00:16:30,630 --> 00:16:35,030
right, it's us and Belarus, like
the Russian, like, you know,
412
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:38,380
mate, we're the only two who do
this kind of first past the
413
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:39,160
post.
Yeah.
414
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:40,360
And there's been this whole
thing.
415
00:16:40,450 --> 00:16:43,800
And the problem with first past
the post in terms of changing it
416
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:46,770
is the people who benefit from
it are usually the people in
417
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:48,840
power.
So when it comes to changing it,
418
00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:52,110
right, the people in power are
like, I've benefited from it
419
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,740
because I'm in charge now, so
I'll only lose out from
420
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:57,380
something, this system.
So every time it kind of comes
421
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,170
round and there was a vote on
proportional representation when
422
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:01,980
we were about 16, there was a
referendum.
423
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:03,720
Essentially.
It went out to the public and
424
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:07,359
the public rejected it and for a
number of reasons, but.
425
00:17:07,430 --> 00:17:11,839
Was that vote proportional?
Yeah, it was just, yes, I think
426
00:17:11,849 --> 00:17:13,089
so.
Anyway, I'll be interesting.
427
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,690
But again, because the main big
two parties really pushed and
428
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,609
campaigned to not change it.
Yeah.
429
00:17:18,619 --> 00:17:21,480
So when you hear everyone as an
MP, well, not everyone, but most
430
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:24,190
people back then say no, no, no,
no, it's it's good because of
431
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,250
this, because of that, it does a
lot of things right.
432
00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:28,550
I completely agree with you.
It seems completely undemocratic
433
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,270
and weird, doesn't it, That
whatever you think about these
434
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,490
parties, if a party gets 4
million votes and only gets four
435
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,890
seats, that seemed, that does
seem.
436
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:37,510
Insane.
It's not representing the
437
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,790
people.
And if the parliament is to
438
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,620
represent the people, to me I'm
like, there's something wrong
439
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:41,630
in.
That yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
440
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,740
And with first past the post, a
lot of the things people say is
441
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:46,220
like why it's good.
Yeah.
442
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:48,860
Is it.
It does suppress the extremes
443
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:51,840
you normally because it's really
hard to get into power.
444
00:17:51,910 --> 00:17:55,160
So to get into power you've got
to have lots of spread out
445
00:17:55,530 --> 00:17:57,720
support.
So for example, one of the
446
00:17:57,730 --> 00:18:01,150
biggest things is comparison I'm
seeing at the minute between
447
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Corbyn and 2017 and Starmer in
2024.
448
00:18:03,930 --> 00:18:07,640
Right.
So Corbyn in 2017 got more votes
449
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:09,460
than Starmer did this time
around.
450
00:18:09,530 --> 00:18:11,400
Corbyn lost, didn't get a
majority.
451
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:13,960
It was a Conservative,
Conservative want formed
452
00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:15,620
government.
This time around, Labour have a
453
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:17,400
complete landslide, one of the
biggest victories ever.
454
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:21,560
And the reason why is because
Corbyn was winning loads of
455
00:18:21,570 --> 00:18:24,000
votes in places where he was
already in front.
456
00:18:24,090 --> 00:18:28,640
So let's say you know, this time
around when Labour won a seat,
457
00:18:28,770 --> 00:18:31,440
right, they were winning with
like 35% of the vote.
458
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:35,080
Tories maybe had 30% of the
vote, Reform maybe had 20% of
459
00:18:35,090 --> 00:18:37,000
the vote.
And, and then you would think,
460
00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:40,560
OK, well, actually the Labour
had just enough votes to win
461
00:18:40,570 --> 00:18:42,380
that seat.
And then in the next
462
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:45,190
constituency, they may be one
with 35%.
463
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,210
Tories had 25% before my 25%
sure.
464
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:50,770
Whereas previously across those
two seats, it might have been
465
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:54,710
Labour had 70% and 0 in the
other seat, same amount of
466
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,300
votes.
But in in Corbyn situation, he
467
00:18:57,310 --> 00:19:00,510
wins 1 CR 2 in care situation in
two year 2.
468
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,070
So basically when the when the
election happens, you have loads
469
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,180
of mini elections in your local
area.
470
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:09,350
And if, if, if, you know, Reform
got 20% in every single seat,
471
00:19:09,740 --> 00:19:11,870
right?
They've got 20% of the vote and
472
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,940
one absolutely no.
Seat, which is basically what
473
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:15,350
happened.
You know, they got four seats,
474
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,500
which is, and the other way to
look at it is right, in only
475
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:22,080
four areas of the country did
reform win more votes than
476
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:23,900
everyone else.
Yeah, that's the other way of
477
00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:25,220
looking at it.
And it's like, OK, well, that
478
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:28,240
means that in every area you
pick, people would have rather
479
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,310
have had a Lib Dem candidate
than a Reform candidate.
480
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,660
People would rather have had a
Labour candidate than a Reform
481
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:34,230
candidate.
People have had a Conservative
482
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,460
candidate than a Reform
candidate.
483
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:37,540
So there there is ways of
looking at it where you're like,
484
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:38,940
well, like, OK, kind of makes
sense.
485
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:40,850
It's still democratic.
Yeah, there's lots of many
486
00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:41,960
votes.
Yeah, there's lots of many
487
00:19:41,970 --> 00:19:42,940
votes.
And you gotta look at it as
488
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:45,310
constituency.
Whereas if it was PR just vote,
489
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,350
right, you wouldn't be voting
for your local past anymore.
490
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,490
You just be voting for a
percentage of representation in
491
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:51,710
government.
Yeah, so sure.
492
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,010
And I think if that happened,
right, I think it's impossible
493
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:57,130
to kind of translate these votes
because of so much tactical
494
00:19:57,140 --> 00:20:01,030
voting this time.
So many people voted to to get
495
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,530
out the Conservatives.
So for example, if it was
496
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:07,540
proportional representation and
I simply was voting for the
497
00:20:07,550 --> 00:20:11,430
party who is aligned with the
most, I'm not even sure I would
498
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,610
have voted for Labour.
Yeah.
499
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:15,140
So if I look at all of the
policies on a piece of paper and
500
00:20:15,150 --> 00:20:17,090
I think who do I actually kind
of get behind?
501
00:20:17,170 --> 00:20:19,320
I quite like some of the stuff
the Greens are saying.
502
00:20:19,390 --> 00:20:21,030
I think some of the stuff, I
don't think all of it is
503
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,390
amazing.
I think lots of it is really
504
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,080
good.
Yeah.
505
00:20:23,090 --> 00:20:25,170
I quite like some of the things
that Lib Dems are saying about
506
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:27,400
social care.
I quite like some of the things
507
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:30,240
Labour were saying in terms of
being fiscally responsible, but
508
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:32,920
doing it with like a good heart
and working hard and care,
509
00:20:32,930 --> 00:20:34,480
saying we need to go back to
public service.
510
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:36,220
I I like that serving the
people.
511
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:39,400
I like that kind of, you know,
sentiment wherever he does.
512
00:20:39,410 --> 00:20:41,000
It.
I'm not worried about leaving.
513
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:42,740
That was nice.
What do you mean?
514
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,760
Yeah, when I'm out.
That was nice.
515
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:45,620
I.
Know what?
516
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:48,090
I listened to Rishi with say his
speech, right?
517
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:49,480
Yeah.
And I was like, why didn't you
518
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:50,970
talk like that for the last two
years?
519
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,710
I know he he was so like I was
like, well, there is we could be
520
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
like this instead.
You could just be lovely like
521
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:58,250
that and and.
Really, you know what they they
522
00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:00,010
left with their tails between
their legs didn't?
523
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:02,050
I saw quite a lot of the
speeches from some of the
524
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,170
cabinet members that lost.
There.
525
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:04,320
But it was nice to see, wasn't
it?
526
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:05,930
That they were accepting.
They were they were very
527
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:07,660
respectful.
I found I didn't hear anyone
528
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,690
that was like, ohh, yeah, it's
only cause of this and this they
529
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:10,990
all seem quite respectful.
Maybe that was the.
530
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,300
Other because they could have
said, well, without reform we'd
531
00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:14,390
be winning.
Yeah, exactly.
532
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,510
But they just said no, sorry.
Yeah, we weren't good.
533
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,690
Enough time to prepare.
They knew.
534
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,960
They knew they had time to
prepare that they, you know,
535
00:21:19,970 --> 00:21:23,360
they could think it through.
But yeah, just just mad.
536
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:26,350
So yeah, anyway, back to the
proportional representation.
537
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:28,090
I get the.
I do get the pros and cons, but
538
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:29,280
I don't know.
I still know which one I think
539
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:31,230
is better.
Though, Well, the other pro for
540
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:36,650
the system right now, OK, it's a
pro in one way, 35% of the vote.
541
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,940
But Labour now in government,
Genuinely, if Keir Starmer has
542
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:43,530
something he wants to get done,
it will almost certainly get
543
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:44,250
through.
Yeah.
544
00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:47,270
Whereas when the majority is
much lower and closer to half,
545
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,410
there might be a chunk of people
in the Labour Party who rebel.
546
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:52,830
Do you know we've seen for the
Tories for the last however long
547
00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:55,490
a chunk of the Tories were like,
no, no, that's not acceptable in
548
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:57,600
go further hard right.
This is not, no, this is not
549
00:21:57,610 --> 00:21:59,720
good for immigration.
This is not good for Brexit
550
00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:01,660
generally couldn't get Brexit
deal through for like 4 years.
551
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:03,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because the Conservatives were
552
00:22:03,370 --> 00:22:05,840
like, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
And then that took you past
553
00:22:05,850 --> 00:22:07,720
halfway and you couldn't pass
any laws, everything.
554
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:11,220
That's whereas now Labour have
411 or 12, wherever it ends up
555
00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:14,980
on, they only need 326 yes votes
to ever put a law through.
556
00:22:14,990 --> 00:22:17,240
Yeah.
So even if there's a sizeable
557
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:19,860
majority, like 40 MP's saying
like, no, no, I can't stand for
558
00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:21,900
this, they'll still be able to
get stuff through.
559
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:25,040
So my, my point right now, I
completely understand people
560
00:22:25,050 --> 00:22:28,670
being like, no, I do bloody I
vote for Labour, but you know,
561
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,310
they've moved much further away
from what I believe in and I'm
562
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,970
only doing it to get rid of the
Tories and stuff.
563
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:35,290
I completely sympathise with
that and I get it completely and
564
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:38,800
I probably agree with you.
But now Labour are in, we've got
565
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:40,410
we've got to judge them on what
they do.
566
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:42,030
Like give them a chance to do
something.
567
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,830
If it's if it's the same old and
they do nothing.
568
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:45,850
Next time I'll vote differently.
I'm with you.
569
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:49,110
But this vote was all about
getting the Tories out and
570
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,360
goodness me it bloody.
Well, they really got them out.
571
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,730
Yeah, there's one seat that I'm
very pleased about.
572
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,060
There's one little there's one
little guy that will be there in
573
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:58,640
Parliament and I'll be thinking,
ohh, Pat, go on.
574
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:59,880
Ohh, Jess up.
Ohh.
575
00:22:59,890 --> 00:23:02,510
Yeah, Jerry, he won his was N
Easington or whatever it is.
576
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Yeah, he won.
He won his seat there.
577
00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:07,810
Yeah, yeah, very comfortably.
And I was quite pleased about
578
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,880
that.
Again, is the is the is the
579
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:13,120
power of, you know, an incumbent
MP who actually does stuff with
580
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:14,460
the local community.
He's very popular.
581
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:17,380
In the community, I know there's
a Tory politician very close to
582
00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:19,740
like next door to our
constituency who everyone
583
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:21,780
thought would lose because
they're sentiment of the country
584
00:23:21,790 --> 00:23:24,880
is, you know, Labour out.
But he's been MP in in that
585
00:23:24,890 --> 00:23:28,910
place for like 30-40 years.
He's done loads, he's built up
586
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,910
loads of community.
Like, you know, he's done stuff
587
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,710
for people.
He wants to reopen the airport.
588
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:36,330
So when he won, I was like, OK.
You know, it makes sense.
589
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:39,990
We we focus on the big Tory
names all the time.
590
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,470
We think of Tory and I think of
Jacob Rees-mogg is Trustpilot
591
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,210
brought this like, ohh, I hate
them.
592
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:49,770
But you know what there are,
there are bound to be hundreds
593
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:53,030
of Tory MP's who really, really,
really just wanted to do a good
594
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,820
job.
And like you said, we got the
595
00:23:54,830 --> 00:23:56,370
people that will just do a good
job as well.
596
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:58,140
So, you know, let's not take
that away.
597
00:23:58,150 --> 00:23:59,630
From you, and that's exactly
right.
598
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,530
And it's not automatically bad.
Some of them reflected, I saw a
599
00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:05,310
few random speeches come up on
BBC like of Tory people I've
600
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,030
never heard of but you know,
clearly lost their seats or
601
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,240
whatever in other places.
And they were just saying things
602
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:12,590
like, it's such a shame that my
party has spent the last,
603
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,750
however, however long, just
being self-serving interests and
604
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,470
all this stuff.
And it's like, and it's not what
605
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
this is supposed to be about.
It's not what this job is about.
606
00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:21,950
They've not been doing their job
properly.
607
00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:23,790
And now I've lost that on my
seat because my party is not
608
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,580
doing anything.
Yeah.
609
00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:26,940
And they were really, really
like condemning it.
610
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:27,810
And I thought it was.
Good.
611
00:24:27,850 --> 00:24:30,840
Yeah.
And that's where I've matured
612
00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:31,880
slightly.
I still don't like the
613
00:24:31,890 --> 00:24:33,760
Conservatives.
I still wouldn't vote for them,
614
00:24:33,810 --> 00:24:35,810
especially in the current system
when they're rife with these
615
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:38,320
people who, like you, spoke
about the fact Jacob Rees-mogg
616
00:24:38,330 --> 00:24:40,680
can be a politician and be put
in a position of power and a
617
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:42,320
cabinet.
I'm not cool.
618
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:44,260
No go.
I'm never voting for that.
619
00:24:44,330 --> 00:24:46,580
But I do get it, like, and I
said it a million times, you
620
00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:49,500
know, people like Rory Stewart
when he does his podcast, he was
621
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:51,000
a Conservative MP.
Hmm.
622
00:24:51,050 --> 00:24:54,470
When you hear him speak about
things now, it's like, I kind of
623
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,690
get it.
I kind of get what you mean.
624
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:57,940
I don't hate you, you know, I
don't just hate you just because
625
00:24:57,950 --> 00:24:59,650
you're a Tory.
I kind of understand your aims.
626
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:03,610
And, and he hates Boris Johnson
and he hates Liz Truss, like I
627
00:25:03,620 --> 00:25:04,870
hate them.
So then we've got some common
628
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,870
ground and I'm like, OK, well,
you know, there is a different
629
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,630
way of doing stuff as well.
But it's really interesting, you
630
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,310
know, in general, in general, in
general election in general,
631
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,680
general.
It was for me when I summed up
632
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:20,940
with was relief, that was, it
was relief.
633
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:25,060
I wasn't, I wasn't excited.
I'm not, I'm not enamoured by
634
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:28,700
Labour, no, but I'm relieved
beyond belief.
635
00:25:28,790 --> 00:25:31,400
If the Tories have got in after
what's happened in the last five
636
00:25:31,410 --> 00:25:33,920
years, I, I, honestly, it would
be the end game.
637
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:35,490
I'd be OK.
There's not, there's nothing
638
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,940
that can happen anymore.
If if there, if the country
639
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:40,040
looked at them and thought,
yeah, carry on, yeah, cool.
640
00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:42,060
But that's the end of this
democracy as we know.
641
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:42,670
It.
Yeah, No, I agree.
642
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,780
I agree.
There's one thing I want to talk
643
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:46,030
before we move on with this
because you might, you might be
644
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,720
able to enlighten me.
But it's the whole, right?
645
00:25:47,770 --> 00:25:50,650
So I think the form, yeah, came
in clutch.
646
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,870
What do you mean?
I, I, I looked at like when I
647
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,010
was last night, as all the, you
know, the site was popping up
648
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:57,850
and I kept looking at the kind
of vote share and, and it would
649
00:25:57,860 --> 00:26:02,430
be things like Labour 14,000
votes, Conservatives, 10,000
650
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,890
votes, Reform 5000 votes.
And I was looking at that.
651
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:08,110
And some of them were like
basically the Conservative plus
652
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,810
reform in a lot of areas, if you
add them together was
653
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:13,510
significantly higher than the
Labour win, right?
654
00:26:13,580 --> 00:26:15,970
And I was like, you know what,
even if half of those reform
655
00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:20,220
votes were just Tories that are
just more quite right wing, and
656
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:22,030
then, you know, they've just
shifted to Reform and half of
657
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,150
them were just whatever, just, I
don't know, people doing
658
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,120
whatever, you know, just being
what's the word I'm looking for?
659
00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:29,260
Just doing it in protest,
protest, protest vote.
660
00:26:29,930 --> 00:26:32,330
Even if half of them I was like
they would still if reform
661
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,540
didn't exist and half the people
voted for conservatives which
662
00:26:34,550 --> 00:26:36,600
would have been the next most
right party, yeah sure.
663
00:26:36,670 --> 00:26:38,720
Then they would have won so many
more seats.
664
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:44,460
So the way I see it is Reform
absolutely obliterated the
665
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:47,760
Conservative Party because it
just split the vote everywhere.
666
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,880
Completely.
And and that that is what Reform
667
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:51,490
are running on.
They were running on that.
668
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:55,500
They they literally ran on we we
need to destroy the Conservative
669
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:56,910
Party.
And I said, I think I said on
670
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,900
the podcast, I remember I said
to you in general, Farage's plan
671
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,730
is absolutely not.
That's the Reform plan.
672
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:04,610
The Reform plan was to destroy
the Tories so much.
673
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:08,460
And even though Reform have four
MP's now, they have an amazing
674
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:09,470
amount of power.
Yeah.
675
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,020
Because what they, they have
basically the Tories bent over a
676
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:15,710
barrel because the the Tories
now have to make a decision, OK,
677
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,130
they need to win back those
votes.
678
00:27:17,140 --> 00:27:19,290
The Tories, there's two ways you
can do this.
679
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,790
They can merge with Reform, move
to the right, become a right
680
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,910
leaning party.
That seems to be what people are
681
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,700
scared of.
People seem to be scared of that
682
00:27:27,710 --> 00:27:29,550
because, like you, they'll say,
well, OK, we'll add the
683
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,150
Conservative and the Reform vote
together.
684
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:32,880
Oh my God, they're gonna win all
these seats.
685
00:27:33,010 --> 00:27:35,940
I would be a bit less.
It's less obvious than that to
686
00:27:35,950 --> 00:27:37,720
me.
There are a lot of people who
687
00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:40,580
voted Conservative again this
time round, who were more
688
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:44,060
moderate, who absolutely chose
not to vote for Reform because
689
00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:47,360
they think Reform are
incredibly, like, crazy insane.
690
00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:49,470
And I think far too far right
don't make any sense.
691
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,520
They're not credible.
They say things which they
692
00:27:51,530 --> 00:27:54,460
literally know don't make sense.
They're going to cut taxes and
693
00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:56,750
cut the waiting list for the NHS
without borrowing money.
694
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:59,740
It literally doesn't make sense.
Like it's not actually costed.
695
00:27:59,830 --> 00:28:01,380
It's not a thing that can
happen.
696
00:28:01,390 --> 00:28:03,720
Yeah, Farage said that himself.
It was just an idea.
697
00:28:03,730 --> 00:28:05,990
It's just what we want to do.
Like he knows he's not gonna get
698
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,770
in power.
Yeah.
699
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:08,590
So what I would say if that
happens, I think there'll be a
700
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,970
lot of Tory voters who voted
Tory this time round who won't
701
00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:14,190
vote for a joined party.
So it won't be as simple as just
702
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,850
adding up those votes.
I don't think if, if Labour
703
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:18,910
start delivering in the next
five years, that's the other way
704
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,690
that we can stop this.
So if, if Labour actually start
705
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,670
to do stuff that people can
tangibly hold on to it and say
706
00:28:24,810 --> 00:28:27,590
politics has done this for me.
I said this a million times.
707
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:30,070
I can't think of my adult life,
something I can point to and
708
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,440
hold and go, wow, politics did
this.
709
00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:35,060
I can think of my childhood of
sure, start centres opening.
710
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:37,600
Wow, that's amazing.
I could think of the the funding
711
00:28:37,610 --> 00:28:40,080
that schools got.
I can think of Blair pushing
712
00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:42,460
same day or next day GP
appointments.
713
00:28:42,530 --> 00:28:44,180
Cool.
That's a tangible thing that I
714
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:47,640
can see the NHS waiting lists
come down, you know, peace in
715
00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:49,040
Northern Ireland, all that kind
of thing.
716
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,330
What what Starmer has to do in
the next five years is tangibly
717
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:56,070
improve people's lives,
something he has to be honestly,
718
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,250
honestly, he has to just do
something where people can say,
719
00:28:59,260 --> 00:29:01,880
point to it and say my life is
better because Keir Starmer's
720
00:29:01,890 --> 00:29:03,310
government did this thing.
Yeah, yeah.
721
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,780
If that doesn't happen, if he's
just beige like people are
722
00:29:05,790 --> 00:29:09,240
worried about is going to happen
the next time around, they'll be
723
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:11,330
squeezed.
And you've seen the the swing
724
00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:13,540
Labour had this time.
Labour went from their worst
725
00:29:13,550 --> 00:29:15,310
result ever to one of their best
results ever.
726
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:17,740
That it can happen again the
other way around like this.
727
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:19,630
There is nothing you can take
for granted anymore.
728
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,810
It used to be that if Labour had
this landslide at least two
729
00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:24,690
times, maybe three, because only
chips away.
730
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,160
Yeah, put with social media and
tactical voting and people
731
00:29:28,170 --> 00:29:31,130
knowing exactly what they need
to do to kick a government out.
732
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:32,640
Look what they've done to the
Tories, right?
733
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:34,470
No.
Yeah, It it will happen again.
734
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,750
So.
So Labour have to deliver now.
735
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,630
And if they don't, I'll be the
first person stood.
736
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,740
They're saying it's your own
fault.
737
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:41,090
You've got a majority, get stuff
done.
738
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:43,220
Yeah, yeah, got a majority.
Five years to do it.
739
00:29:43,230 --> 00:29:44,970
Come on, come on.
You're absolutely right.
740
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:50,180
Reform in 2019 pulled out of a
lot of the Tory seats they were
741
00:29:50,190 --> 00:29:53,280
going for and didn't run.
So that vote wasn't split.
742
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:55,950
So all I'll say is, again, this
has been rumbling for a long
743
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,950
time.
It's not like suddenly there are
744
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,740
these people who, you know,
would have voted reform and
745
00:30:00,750 --> 00:30:02,960
populism.
Amazingly on the surge, it's
746
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:05,830
like, oh, it's gone up by 20%.
No, no, those people voted for
747
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,660
Boris Johnson, One, because
Boris Johnson was flattening
748
00:30:08,670 --> 00:30:11,320
with them and wanted to do
Brexit, and two, because reform
749
00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:14,680
didn't run in those seats.
So it's not like suddenly we've
750
00:30:14,690 --> 00:30:16,840
got this massive surge.
We've always, they've always
751
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:19,300
been those people there.
They just, they were
752
00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:20,960
disenfranchised with the Tories
right now.
753
00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:23,270
The Tories lost this election.
Labour.
754
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:27,460
What does scare me though, it's
like even still is considering
755
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:29,810
how bad of a job the Tories have
done right in the last four
756
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:32,670
years, like they they couldn't
they couldn't be any worse,
757
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,740
right?
And still there are right wing
758
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:36,600
party.
And then you got the right of of
759
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:41,120
reform that they still total up
like 50% of the votes.
760
00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:44,620
And I'm like, God, this is this
is when the Tories have done the
761
00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:47,600
worst ever job ever and 50% of
the population still like, yeah,
762
00:30:47,610 --> 00:30:50,680
I think right wing is the way to
go with these parties that just.
763
00:30:50,870 --> 00:30:54,640
Well, there's a lot of people
have the opinion the Tory party
764
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,440
financially are not very right
wing.
765
00:30:57,450 --> 00:31:00,390
They're quite centre centrist,
highest tax burden ever.
766
00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:03,580
Yeah, you know, this idea
they're right on some things
767
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:05,740
like you might think immigration
policy around those like more
768
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:08,380
right wing socially, yeah, but
Fisk like fiscally in terms of
769
00:31:08,390 --> 00:31:11,090
economics, they've borrowed
loads because of COVID.
770
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,280
They put loads of money into
people's pockets and stuff.
771
00:31:13,290 --> 00:31:16,190
The tax burden is really high.
There's people who argue they're
772
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,780
not right wing enough, but you
know, you mean in terms of they
773
00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:20,920
they have this stigma.
If you've Victoria on the right
774
00:31:20,990 --> 00:31:24,180
and and what you tend to do is
you add, you'll add up Torian
775
00:31:24,190 --> 00:31:25,860
reform and get an idea of the
right.
776
00:31:25,950 --> 00:31:27,660
Yeah.
You add up Lib Dem, Green and
777
00:31:27,670 --> 00:31:29,080
Labour and get an idea of the
left.
778
00:31:29,090 --> 00:31:32,320
And one of the things that has
always happened is that the left
779
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:35,100
vote have been split three ways,
which has allowed the
780
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:37,960
Conservatives to walk in and
have these like, yeah, have left
781
00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:39,940
fewer votes, but seem to always
manage to get a majority.
782
00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:40,810
Yeah.
But one of them.
783
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:41,780
Yeah.
And what's happened finally
784
00:31:41,790 --> 00:31:44,200
happened this time is the other
way round happened that that
785
00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:45,880
vote and the right has been
completely split down the
786
00:31:45,890 --> 00:31:47,360
middle.
And we've seen what happens when
787
00:31:47,370 --> 00:31:50,020
that when that comes around a
huge majority of Labour, who
788
00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:52,350
again, for a lot of people
aren't left wing enough.
789
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:54,880
That's why they wanted the Lib
Dems to be the 2nd party, to
790
00:31:54,890 --> 00:31:56,440
hold them to account.
Yeah, absolutely.
791
00:31:57,010 --> 00:31:59,090
I was gonna say just wanna shout
to the Greens because.
792
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,190
They got like 2 million.
Votes.
793
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,750
They absolutely smashed their
number.
794
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,680
Of votes like people are very
interested in them.
795
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,830
Yeah, and they've got, I think,
4 seats, 4 the same as Reform.
796
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,260
Which is the most I've ever had,
isn't it because.
797
00:32:08,270 --> 00:32:11,160
They don't have one seat.
So yeah, interesting.
798
00:32:11,170 --> 00:32:13,580
It's really interesting.
And I think what a lot of
799
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:17,080
teachers in particular listening
maybe are thinking is, OK, cool,
800
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:18,940
I did that thing, I got the
Tories out.
801
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:20,230
Now that's bloody.
See something?
802
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Different.
Yeah, I know.
803
00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:23,080
And I don't know about you.
From what I've seen from Bridget
804
00:32:23,090 --> 00:32:25,320
Phillipson, she did an interview
with Alastair Campbell.
805
00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:28,900
Interview.
Mr P Yeah, she says things that
806
00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:32,500
I'm like, OK, you sound serious.
You sound like you take this job
807
00:32:32,510 --> 00:32:33,980
seriously.
You don't sound Gillian Keegan,
808
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:36,220
who demonised us every possible
turn.
809
00:32:36,290 --> 00:32:39,470
Yeah, she sounds like someone
who wants to listen to teachers.
810
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,980
Yeah, and he just wants to do a
good job.
811
00:32:42,070 --> 00:32:45,120
Like I felt with Gillian Keegan
sometimes she almost spoke like
812
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,370
a PR person.
Yeah, she almost spoke like just
813
00:32:47,380 --> 00:32:49,950
someone defending the fact it's
crap like that.
814
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,950
They weren't doing much.
She's like it was never, she
815
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,200
never really come out and said
we're gonna be OK.
816
00:32:54,350 --> 00:32:57,240
I you're the professional.
You're saying this, we're gonna
817
00:32:57,250 --> 00:32:59,440
try and do this for you.
It was new.
818
00:33:00,130 --> 00:33:02,540
Lots of schools are good now she
might.
819
00:33:02,590 --> 00:33:03,940
I'm sorry, I'm telling you it's
bad.
820
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:06,730
I think it's good.
Yeah, yeah.
821
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:08,190
It's like, no, who are you?
Sorry.
822
00:33:08,260 --> 00:33:10,800
Well, who is she exactly?
You know, washing gonna be doing
823
00:33:10,810 --> 00:33:11,660
now?
She might get a job as a
824
00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:13,670
teacher.
Well, she might need a job.
825
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,150
She needs a job and it's so
easy.
826
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,230
And you know which is crack.
She could, she could just come
827
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,710
and show us how it's done that
actually now that she is
828
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,510
jobless.
Jobless that maybe that's one
829
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,710
way judgement we could give a
jobless jobless.
830
00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:28,730
Right, let's Jingle again and
actually get to the end of the
831
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:31,870
episode.
Right.
832
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,140
We've had a busy few weeks.
Like this was a, this was an
833
00:33:34,150 --> 00:33:35,700
episode we wanted to do like two
or three weeks ago.
834
00:33:35,710 --> 00:33:37,330
You know when time six was at
the start?
835
00:33:37,670 --> 00:33:40,720
Yeah, I would have just.
Thought yeah, because as you've
836
00:33:40,730 --> 00:33:42,390
picked on this and you've got
this far.
837
00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:46,890
Top tips for yesterday Make sure
you tune in in the past.
838
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,140
Make sure you vote, vote for the
Conservative Party or it's
839
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:52,350
already over.
So yeah, this was my top tip.
840
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,590
The end of the school year.
It's just going to be, you know,
841
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,770
just maybe a conversation now
because we've got about 3 weeks
842
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,530
left.
It seems like feels like a long
843
00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:02,900
time now.
So hopefully last few weeks.
844
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:04,720
This is helpful for you guys.
And you know what, if you're
845
00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:07,270
listening now, hmm, good for any
years time.

00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,810
So yeah, save this podcast.
Give us a review very quickly if
847
00:34:12,820 --> 00:34:14,260
you are listening and you
haven't given us a.
848
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:15,570
Review yet I think we have to
do.

Please give us a review because
I keep forgetting to ask and
850
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:21,850

00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,130
Don't to pause.

858
00:34:38,670 --> 00:34:40,520
OK cool.
So top tips into the school
859
00:34:40,530 --> 00:34:41,580
year.
You don't know what these are.
860
00:34:41,590 --> 00:34:44,000
I put these together, put seven
of my favourite things at the
861
00:34:44,010 --> 00:34:44,980
end of the school year to help
me.
862
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:47,900
Hmm.
I want you to kind of react to.
863
00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:49,840
Them I will.
And tell me how brilliant they
864
00:34:49,850 --> 00:34:50,219
are.
You didn't.
865
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:51,600
Plan the Dome.
The Dome.
866
00:34:51,610 --> 00:34:54,239
If anyone could see our notes no
say a million times, I promise
867
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:58,300
you our notes on the screen,
genuinely 14 words.
868
00:34:58,350 --> 00:35:01,630
So that we wrote 14 seconds
before we started.
869
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,060
Recording Gillian Keegan chicken
on train.
870
00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:10,670
Stealing content Arid top.
Right, go on then.
871
00:35:10,740 --> 00:35:11,730
Phone.
They're on my phone.
872
00:35:11,740 --> 00:35:17,460
Right, the phone to my Dome.
OK, number one, top tip 4,
873
00:35:17,470 --> 00:35:20,620
summertime is vote Labour.
Jesus Christ.
874
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:22,540
So is the past.
Is this going to be it's going
875
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:25,300
to be painful.
Number one, top time time.
876
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,580
Oh my gosh.
This is where time lucky.
877
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:30,270
This is where we start the
podcast.
878
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,750
I've been having a breakdown.
This is where we did a serious
879
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,230
podcast.
We actually have an editor who
880
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:36,550
cut this.
Out like parenting?
881
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,300
How the rest of politics.
All the ones that are.
882
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:41,790
Real ones, ones are in the
bedroom.
883
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,230
It's bloody hot in here as well.
Anyway, top tips to survive the
884
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,970
end of the school year #1
outdoor learning.
885
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:50,430
Now I want to talk about outdoor
learning because I think there
886
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,450
are two types of outdoor
learning.
887
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,210
Number one, in general, don't
patronise, sorry, carry on.
888
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,510
Number one, in general, I just
think it feels good to click
889
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,940
outside when the sun is nice,
when it's not raining obviously.
890
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:06,080
But there are two dude, I want
you to turn everything into
891
00:36:06,090 --> 00:36:09,390
bloody labour anyway, two types
of outdoor learning and I wonder
892
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,200
what you do more of because
one's easier than the other
893
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,530
Labour the.
Oh my God, that's the one.
894
00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:16,910
Funny, I don't know if I can get
through this.
895
00:36:17,530 --> 00:36:21,920
I really don't stop first thing.
Not everyone's listening.
896
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:23,330
Ohh no no, not everyone's
watching.
897
00:36:23,620 --> 00:36:25,600
I hope they're listening.
No one's doing either.
898
00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:27,070
Bloody hours into two.
Minutes.
899
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,990
Come on, Dylan.
Ohh, you had such a good time.
900
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,810
Alistair Campbell.
You.
901
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:31,960
They're chewing a proper chat.
You can't even talk to me.
902
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,790
Shut up, honestly #1 outdoor
learning.
903
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,140
And we said.
That two types throughout the
904
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:38,250
learning.
The first type is when you just
905
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:42,390
literally go outside and do what
you plan to do inside anyway.
906
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,930
So there's no different or so
you're grinning at me, this is
907
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:47,410
winding me up.
The other type is when you
908
00:36:47,420 --> 00:36:50,770
actually physically plan from
scratch something to do outside.
909
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:54,120
I'm honestly gonna tell you
gonna stop recording now if you
910
00:36:54,130 --> 00:36:56,960
want going on OHH, because this
must be horrible to listen to.
911
00:36:56,970 --> 00:37:00,380
So Larry on actually give the
people what they've come for and
912
00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:02,510
which is actually to plan
something from scratch and go
913
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,180
outside and do it.
So for example, if you're doing
914
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:06,560
something to do with like
nature, you might from scratch.
915
00:37:06,570 --> 00:37:08,560
Like I'm gonna spend the whole
afternoon in the nature area
916
00:37:08,570 --> 00:37:10,240
outside.
We're gonna go and take pictures
917
00:37:10,250 --> 00:37:12,920
of bugs or sit and do art and
sketch the flowers and all that
918
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:14,870
kind of thing.
But my point here is you don't
919
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,360
have to do that.
Just just literally embrace the
920
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:18,720
fact you can go outside and do
your learning.
921
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,860
So for example, at any point in
the summer time we're reading
922
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:23,620
our class book or something,
We'll just go and sit in the
923
00:37:23,630 --> 00:37:25,590
trade and read it.
Yeah, it it, it's exactly the
924
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,370
same as would have happened in
in the classroom, but we're just
925
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:29,690
outside.
Can I tell you a story?
926
00:37:29,780 --> 00:37:31,730
Is it about like, about this,
about this promise?
927
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,550
I'm done with that one.
It's not funny anymore.
928
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,670
When I was an NQT, right?
I was so desperate to impress
929
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,880
observations and stuff like
that.
930
00:37:40,890 --> 00:37:45,610
One, one time in one of my maths
lessons would bring you back in
931
00:37:45,620 --> 00:37:47,840
the middle of my last lesson.
I was literally like Ricky
932
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:50,160
Gervais, like doing a look from
the office to the head teacher
933
00:37:50,170 --> 00:37:51,830
who I knew was over in the
corner watching me.
934
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,370
I was like, pick up your books,
kids.
935
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,290
Mid lesson we went outside back
door because it was sunny day.
936
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:59,500
Went and went and went and sat
on the field and like we're
937
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:02,410
doing our work and our books.
There was like outdoors, isn't
938
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:03,820
it?
At the end she was like, yeah,
939
00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:06,880
it was nice that you did that.
Could have just done it on the
940
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:08,300
list though.
No, no act.
941
00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:10,250
There was no actual benefit to
you going outside for that, for
942
00:38:10,260 --> 00:38:12,010
this observation.
And I was clearly just trying to
943
00:38:12,020 --> 00:38:13,590
tick a box.
I went outdoors though, didn't
944
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,950
I?
And I but I didn't make any link
945
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,150
to it.
Like I literally just mid task.
946
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,060
Yeah, pick your pens and books
up.
947
00:38:19,070 --> 00:38:21,540
Went outside and did it there,
which I actually think is still
948
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:23,380
really nice.
But the point of observation,
949
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:25,200
yeah, trying to make a
difference.
950
00:38:25,210 --> 00:38:26,970
Yeah, but.
She was like, it's cool, it's
951
00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:27,980
fine.
Talk about Labour then
952
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:29,120
completely undermine my first
point.
953
00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:30,680
It's absolutely fine, no
problem.
954
00:38:31,130 --> 00:38:33,140
It's not because I still think
it's nice, but.
955
00:38:33,370 --> 00:38:36,080
It's not, it's not gonna, it's
not gonna massively improve
956
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:37,260
their.
Learning I was trying to take.
957
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:39,480
A yes.
It's it's literally, it's lovely
958
00:38:39,490 --> 00:38:41,100
outside.
Your kids like being outside.
959
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:42,840
Yeah, just do it.
Sometimes I was thinking the
960
00:38:42,850 --> 00:38:45,330
head would be like, ohh, wow,
that lesson was so improved.
961
00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:46,640
Like they got much more out of
it.
962
00:38:46,650 --> 00:38:48,930
You went outside and actually it
was just a nice environment.
963
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,010
This isn't a way to improve your
teaching.
964
00:38:51,140 --> 00:38:55,760
It simply it's hot and nice
outside, nice outside, enjoyed
965
00:38:55,770 --> 00:38:57,100
it.
But yeah, I did as much as
966
00:38:57,110 --> 00:38:58,430
possible.
So that's my number one thing,
967
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,540
outdoor learning.
And I like the idea of winding
968
00:39:01,550 --> 00:39:03,230
up the other classes, I think.
Pretty funny.
969
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,980
Because if you go outside in my
class you can you can honestly
970
00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:08,180
see like 7 classroom windows.
You just see kids at the window
971
00:39:08,190 --> 00:39:10,890
like me out, let me out and let
my class are out.
972
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:13,430
And I know the other teachers
doing what I do, but it's
973
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,460
nothing to do with us.
Is it nothing to do with us?
974
00:39:15,470 --> 00:39:18,560
They probably under award.
No, no, just that I wanted to go
975
00:39:18,570 --> 00:39:20,050
outside.
That's my number one thing,
976
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:21,440
outdoor learning.
How would you rate that out?
977
00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:22,730
Ten.
I went to rate every tip out of
978
00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:25,270
10.
Probably like 34% of the votes.
979
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,950
My God, I give it.
I'll give.
980
00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:30,250
My God.
I will give.
981
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:32,970
That please write in and tell me
how fed up you are this man do
982
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:35,300
you want.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to be
983
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:36,800
serious.
Podcast, can you take it more
984
00:39:36,810 --> 00:39:38,250
seriously?
Alistair Campbell, you wanna
985
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:41,880
come and host this with me?
That's good, good tip.
986
00:39:41,890 --> 00:39:46,400
Cool.
I've heard better. #2 ohh #2
987
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:48,410
this is topical because it's
based on something happened this
988
00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:53,230
week and you spoke to me.
No real Oh my God no.
989
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:55,530
Go on something in school #2
beat the heat.
990
00:39:55,610 --> 00:39:57,870
Check you're especially for male
teachers.
991
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,070
But anyone check your dress
code.
992
00:40:00,130 --> 00:40:02,230
Actually check your dress code
and stay hydrated.
993
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,150
So that's two pronged.
Stay hydrated is obvious.
994
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,480
Just drink, keep drinking.
I do all the time where I'll go
995
00:40:06,490 --> 00:40:09,710
all morning and remember I need
to drink and then and then I'll
996
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:12,230
drink loads in the afternoon.
So drink as much possible.
997
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,530
But the one I want to talk
about, check the dress code.
998
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:16,530
Schools get incredibly hot in
the summer.
999
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:20,130
We sometimes up to 32 kids in a
room, no air conditioning,
1000
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:22,990
sweaty kids, sweaty teacher.
Disgusting.
1001
00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:26,710
Horrible.
Honestly, wearing shirt and tie
1002
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,420
and formal wear in that kind of
environment anyway is horrible,
1003
00:40:29,430 --> 00:40:32,550
never mind in the classroom.
So my big hint for people
1004
00:40:32,610 --> 00:40:35,340
literally just go away and
properly read your dress code
1005
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:36,880
because sometimes you don't do
that.
1006
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:39,020
Obviously, why would you?
But you make assumptions about
1007
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:42,310
the dress code.
And for example, I wore at the
1008
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,560
start of this week, I want some
chinos and a tucked in polo
1009
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:48,200
shirt.
Unbelievably more cool.
1010
00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:51,460
Unbelievable as in, as in as in
literally both ways.
1011
00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:55,400
But I felt way more comfortable,
less hot, more mobile.
1012
00:40:55,490 --> 00:40:57,370
Yeah.
And it was completely within our
1013
00:40:57,380 --> 00:41:00,190
dress policy because the policy
is for men, a collar.
1014
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:02,450
A polo comes under that has a
collar.
1015
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,090
It's fine.
Whereas I think previously I've
1016
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,170
just been like, Oh my God, I got
roll up my sleeves and wearing a
1017
00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:07,270
horrible shirt.
I'm sweating.
1018
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,180
It's just you.
Didn't need your golf bag with
1019
00:41:09,190 --> 00:41:11,550
you though.
Like you're trying to make a
1020
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,630
point.
They look like I was in the
1021
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,990
first team, wasn't it?
But it was.
1022
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,790
But my point is, it was
comfortable.
1023
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,230
Yeah, well, within the rules.
Wasn't rubbing any one up the
1024
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,270
wrong way.
And if someone was annoyed, I
1025
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,280
honestly would have just pointed
to all of the female staff
1026
00:41:22,290 --> 00:41:25,600
wearing sandals and leggings and
been like, hey, I think it's OK
1027
00:41:25,610 --> 00:41:27,290
though, isn't it?
That polo shirt.
1028
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:29,930
Yeah, well, actually, someone
who obviously saw you, he did.
1029
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:32,520
Your face lab it was.
Funny, because I am one of those
1030
00:41:32,530 --> 00:41:34,300
people.
I was like, I'm not gonna, I'm
1031
00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:36,410
not gonna contemplate wearing
those clothes because it's just
1032
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:38,330
not going to be in the policy.
It's not going to look smart.
1033
00:41:38,420 --> 00:41:41,070
I saw you and I was like ohh it
looks absolutely fine.
1034
00:41:41,150 --> 00:41:44,660
Why have I spent years sweating?
Yeah, but because.
1035
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:47,260
And the other thing, like you
said, was it didn't look
1036
00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:49,100
scruffy.
I understand it's professional
1037
00:41:49,110 --> 00:41:50,560
job.
And some people might be like,
1038
00:41:50,570 --> 00:41:51,740
oh, yeah.
But you know, we do need to be
1039
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:53,100
professional.
I think we need to move into
1040
00:41:53,110 --> 00:41:55,080
21st century.
But there's a way to still look
1041
00:41:55,090 --> 00:41:56,480
professional.
Like it was tucked in.
1042
00:41:56,490 --> 00:41:58,680
Yeah, I had a belt on.
I had smart shoes on it.
1043
00:41:58,690 --> 00:41:59,750
It wasn't a problem.
Yeah.
1044
00:41:59,790 --> 00:42:02,740
So beat the heat, check the
dress code, stay hydrated.
1045
00:42:02,810 --> 00:42:05,220
Open your window, your windows.
You know that.
1046
00:42:05,660 --> 00:42:07,160
That three out of 10.
Slightly condescending.
1047
00:42:07,170 --> 00:42:12,650
Only relevant for men.
Carry on, make sure you drink
1048
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:14,250
water.
Everybody ohh, that was part of
1049
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:19,770
it alright numbers three I find
incredibly overwhelming in time
1050
00:42:19,780 --> 00:42:22,730
6 is the sheer amount of jobs
that have to get done.
1051
00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:25,710
It seems to double and I always
forget it doubles because you've
1052
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,480
got reports to write some
potentially some schools have
1053
00:42:28,490 --> 00:42:33,170
you know, and end of year.
I'm not residential, but I guess
1054
00:42:33,180 --> 00:42:34,960
residential as well.
Apparently the end of year your
1055
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:37,020
parents even end of year
performances to get ready for
1056
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:40,380
show all while still delivering
your teaching like that doesn't
1057
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:41,720
change.
You still got that full time job
1058
00:42:41,730 --> 00:42:43,480
of delivering the curriculum
assessment, but there's lots of
1059
00:42:43,490 --> 00:42:45,120
other stuff going on yeah.
You need to upload your teach
1060
00:42:45,130 --> 00:42:46,460
data as well.
You need to assess your kids
1061
00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:49,340
formally through data.
You need to obsess it obsessed
1062
00:42:49,350 --> 00:42:52,120
as well assess it as your
teacher assessments.
1063
00:42:52,190 --> 00:42:55,170
It's just loads and loads and
loads of little jobs and you
1064
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:57,670
might have Ahp's to like finish
off at the end of the year and
1065
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,600
see if they meet their targets
and get ready for next year
1066
00:42:59,670 --> 00:43:01,320
transition.
You need to meet your new class.
1067
00:43:01,330 --> 00:43:03,460
Have notes over from the.
Maybe even consider literally
1068
00:43:03,470 --> 00:43:04,860
moving classrooms.
Literally.
1069
00:43:05,270 --> 00:43:06,860
Start in September in a
different classroom, right?
1070
00:43:07,090 --> 00:43:10,140
So big thing for me, and I did
this with reports and I did it
1071
00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:12,820
in general with my jobs is I
just boxed stuff up because I
1072
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:15,080
can't do it otherwise.
So I write my jobs down on
1073
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:16,960
paper.
I, and the reason I think this
1074
00:43:16,970 --> 00:43:18,910
is a good tip to give is because
I used to be someone who didn't
1075
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,700
do this.
I would not write anything down
1076
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:23,290
and I'd kind of rely on other
people to e-mail me and say,
1077
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:25,500
ohh, you done this thing.
And then I'd kind of just do it
1078
00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:28,110
like quickly then or try to and,
or put it to the back of my mind
1079
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,580
and then forget.
Whereas when I write things down
1080
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:33,130
now I can box things up.
I prioritise them.
1081
00:43:33,140 --> 00:43:34,830
I say why?
Like clearly this has to be done
1082
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,620
this week.
But this thing, honestly, I've
1083
00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:38,580
just pushed that back and I've
said this a million times and
1084
00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:40,950
general tips, but I think it's
really powerful in Time 6.
1085
00:43:41,090 --> 00:43:44,030
And what was really, really,
really useful for me of reports
1086
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,290
was I would sit down and I'd
break it down into the subjects.
1087
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,540
And then in the subjects I'd
write down the children's names
1088
00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:52,120
that I've got to do.
And for my head, it worked for
1089
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:54,790
me to literally put a box around
four of them and treat that as
1090
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,740
one job.
So I've got one job here, I've
1091
00:43:56,750 --> 00:43:59,430
got to these four and then Four
Seasons.
1092
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,900
I can just walk through this,
take me 20 minutes, and I'll
1093
00:44:01,910 --> 00:44:04,070
finish it because I've tricked
my brain into thinking that's
1094
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,670
the job.
Ohh, Actually, I could probably
1095
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,630
get this next job done.
Another box got four.
1096
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:09,750
And instead of it being this
thing where I've got to write
1097
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,430
150 reports, actually it was
I've gotta write 4 reports.
1098
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:16,250
My brain could deal with that
and I'd end up writing 20 in one
1099
00:44:16,260 --> 00:44:16,700
year.
Yeah.
1100
00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:18,710
Whereas beforehand I'd be like,
oh gosh, I can't start that
1101
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:20,130
massive job because I know about
you.
1102
00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:23,420
I'm someone who I can't start a
job unless I feel like I'm going
1103
00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:24,950
to finish it.
As well, Yeah, or at least make
1104
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,950
a significant impact to it.
Yeah, with reports of striking.
1105
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,390
Do you box things up?
Do you write things now?
1106
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,580
How do you deal with the
amazing?
1107
00:44:30,590 --> 00:44:33,570
Like a never ending list?
As a teacher, I have to write
1108
00:44:33,580 --> 00:44:35,840
things.
I see for me, I get a really
1109
00:44:35,850 --> 00:44:37,910
good feeling when I do something
early, right?
1110
00:44:38,070 --> 00:44:40,060
It's everywhere.
So like if I know I'm gonna, if
1111
00:44:40,070 --> 00:44:43,210
I know I'm buying myself time in
the future, I almost see it as
1112
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:45,260
like, ohh, yeah, that that makes
me feel good.
1113
00:44:45,270 --> 00:44:47,940
If I do things like till the
deadline, I'm just like, it's
1114
00:44:47,950 --> 00:44:49,420
just, it just becomes another
annoying job.
1115
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:53,270
So I did my reports a whole term
early and I didn't feel too bad
1116
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,360
because everyone I wrote was
like, really, that's another bit
1117
00:44:55,370 --> 00:44:58,200
of my half term, next half term,
even though I'm literally using
1118
00:44:58,210 --> 00:45:00,540
my half term now to do it.
It felt good for some reason.
1119
00:45:00,550 --> 00:45:03,180
So I think just trying to be
proactive for me and being on
1120
00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:04,760
it, but definitely spreading
things out.
1121
00:45:04,770 --> 00:45:07,230
I wish I did that.
My big white marking long like
1122
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,310
independent long right marking.
I always leave it to the last
1123
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,930
minute and it's like ohh now
I've got 4 hours of marking to
1124
00:45:12,940 --> 00:45:16,310
do if I just did a book a day.
Funnily enough, I do that for
1125
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,070
marking as.
Well, I know you say every time,
1126
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,710
every time I go to market I
think of you marking like one or
1127
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:23,200
two a day and just before you go
home and then not having them
1128
00:45:23,210 --> 00:45:24,660
not.
Always, not always, but when
1129
00:45:24,670 --> 00:45:25,970
I'm, when I'm on top of it, I do
that.
1130
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:27,810
It's good advice.
There was a turning point with
1131
00:45:27,820 --> 00:45:29,260
that advice, and it was our head
of year.
1132
00:45:29,270 --> 00:45:31,750
Remember when we worked in the
same year group, our old head of
1133
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,010
year and our old school?
Yeah.
1134
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:36,330
And she gave us a book.
A book that was just A to do
1135
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:38,960
list ticket boxes.
I'd never written anything down
1136
00:45:38,970 --> 00:45:41,070
before then.
And that that genuinely
1137
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,830
transformed my like
organisation.
1138
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,690
I was the most, I'm not the most
organised person now, but I was
1139
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:48,930
the most unorganised person in
the world before.
1140
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,770
At least now I can write things
down.
1141
00:45:50,860 --> 00:45:53,670
And sometimes I honestly get rid
of the paper and write it down
1142
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,310
again and make a new list
because like a new day.
1143
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,980
I'm like, well, I might do, I
might not, but.
1144
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,570
Everyone's got their version of
it they like.
1145
00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:01,120
For me, it's Microsoft Word.
You know me, every time I do
1146
00:46:01,130 --> 00:46:03,140
anything, I just.
Like this right now.
1147
00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:06,910
Other people post it notes.
Yeah, they'll win, aren't they?
1148
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,020
Yeah, or just a bit of scrap.
Paper and other people just hear
1149
00:46:09,030 --> 00:46:11,580
a job and they go, I don't know,
and then they live a normal
1150
00:46:11,590 --> 00:46:12,840
life.
That must be and they had like
1151
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:14,160
they keep a diary like normal.
People.
1152
00:46:14,170 --> 00:46:16,040
Yeah, yeah, I've seen my head of
year Lawrence.
1153
00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:17,800
She keeps a diary.
Not not by the way, either of
1154
00:46:17,810 --> 00:46:18,860
the Lawrence.
We have 1/3.
1155
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:20,980
Lauren, third Lawrence, who's we
only know Lawrence.
1156
00:46:21,540 --> 00:46:24,730
Incredibly organised, up-to-date
diary and I'm like.
1157
00:46:24,810 --> 00:46:27,880
What are we doing tomorrow?
My diary.
1158
00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:30,130
Beginning of the year, actually.
We do go.
1159
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:33,510
Yeah.
I just don't use it out then.
1160
00:46:35,110 --> 00:46:36,700
Seven with the workload.
Brilliant.
1161
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:41,250
Nice one number four big one.
Assume good intentions from
1162
00:46:41,260 --> 00:46:42,710
everyone at this point in the
year.
1163
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,040
Assume good in.
Stressful part of the year,
1164
00:46:45,050 --> 00:46:46,430
right?
Really stressful part of the
1165
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,130
year and it can be really easy
for you to kind of bite at
1166
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:53,950
someone and be like, Oh my Why
has she done that?
1167
00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:57,950
Did she needs that Perry Perry
chicken now on a fork in the
1168
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,930
bloody train next to me.
God's sake.
1169
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:01,890
What's the fishy staff room?
It's hot.
1170
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:03,950
Yeah.
Get more tired than ever.
1171
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,420
People get aggy.
Don't take it to heart.
1172
00:47:06,540 --> 00:47:08,110
Absolutely.
This is simple as that.
1173
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Basically.
Go straight down.
1174
00:47:11,070 --> 00:47:12,870
Wanna see 10 out of 10, do you
think?
1175
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,770
I think that's so important?
I think because I think it can
1176
00:47:14,780 --> 00:47:16,310
like destroy the ethos of the
school.
1177
00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:18,980
What if someone, what if someone
hasn't got good intentions?
1178
00:47:18,990 --> 00:47:20,970
Do you think it's important to
call them out or do you just
1179
00:47:20,980 --> 00:47:23,250
assume at this point for
honestly, hold an election, kick
1180
00:47:23,260 --> 00:47:26,330
him out, hold on, hold on
election, get rid of them.
1181
00:47:26,380 --> 00:47:28,650
No, I don't know.
I don't know.
1182
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:33,540
I just just have a bit of a bit.
Feel like you couldn't be less
1183
00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:37,080
bothered to be here right now?
Look, you know, I want to be
1184
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:38,960
honest.
There's a street party going on
1185
00:47:38,970 --> 00:47:41,620
out there.
Everyone's got beer and flags.
1186
00:47:41,790 --> 00:47:43,180
I'm going to level with you
guys.
1187
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:46,100
We're going for a Curry later
and I know it's all that is
1188
00:47:46,110 --> 00:47:48,200
thinking about.
We mentioned Curry multiple
1189
00:47:48,210 --> 00:47:53,010
times.
OK, cool #5 big one in general,
1190
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:55,760
but especially now.
And I've got an example of how
1191
00:47:55,770 --> 00:47:58,910
this worked for me.
Be transparent, be open, and be
1192
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,110
honest.
Do not be a martyr.
1193
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,110
There are so many teacher
martyrs out there.
1194
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,220
Yeah, OK, so many.
There was a point.
1195
00:48:05,230 --> 00:48:07,730
I'm going to tell you my point
right now which highlights this.
1196
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:13,870
I genuinely, after week one of
the time 6, felt overwhelmed at
1197
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,280
work because I felt like I had
so much to do in what felt like
1198
00:48:19,290 --> 00:48:22,940
so little time.
So the example I've got here and
1199
00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:26,300
there was a deadline at the end
of week two, and by that
1200
00:48:26,310 --> 00:48:29,340
deadline we had to have finished
all of our reports.
1201
00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:31,420
So that's the weekend before,
but you get a bit of leeway
1202
00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:33,300
obviously.
And during that week have
1203
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:37,260
proofread everyone else's
reports and made edits and stuff
1204
00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:39,540
to make sure spending was OK and
it made sense and all that kind
1205
00:48:39,550 --> 00:48:42,060
of stuff.
We had a Twilight staff meeting
1206
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:45,320
on a Monday, so that's two hours
after school gone where that
1207
00:48:45,330 --> 00:48:46,900
time I could be doing
proofreading.
1208
00:48:47,170 --> 00:48:50,720
And we had assessments that week
which need to be marked and
1209
00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:52,920
uploaded.
Also by the end of that week,
1210
00:48:53,150 --> 00:48:56,060
huge amount of data, huge amount
of tests need to be marked by
1211
00:48:56,070 --> 00:48:57,770
me.
Data needs to be uploaded by me
1212
00:48:57,780 --> 00:49:01,460
or my teacher partner had to go
to a Twilight meeting and had to
1213
00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:03,500
proofread hundreds of reports.
Yeah.
1214
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,730
And what I did was instead of
what a lot of people I see do,
1215
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,640
which is just go, ohh, bloody
hell, I've got so much work to
1216
00:49:11,650 --> 00:49:12,780
do.
And then working till 10 every
1217
00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:15,790
night to get it done and then
moaning about it and not wanting
1218
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,870
to do it.
And instead of being rather
1219
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,090
just, I'll have a moan about it
and I'll become this martyr.
1220
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,740
If the answer is you just didn't
do it, that's.
1221
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:23,250
Not good.
No, it's not because it has to
1222
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:25,640
get done, it has to get done.
But what happened was just as
1223
00:49:25,650 --> 00:49:29,540
professionals, we sat down and I
said OK with the proof reading.
1224
00:49:29,630 --> 00:49:31,880
I can see like when the reports
are gonna go out.
1225
00:49:31,890 --> 00:49:34,660
Could we move that a week?
Could we shift that deadline a
1226
00:49:34,670 --> 00:49:35,800
week?
Because like you said, jobs
1227
00:49:35,810 --> 00:49:37,860
assume good intentions.
I don't think anyone put 3
1228
00:49:37,870 --> 00:49:39,820
deadlines in one week on purpose
to annoy us.
1229
00:49:39,870 --> 00:49:42,240
So I'm assuming good intentions.
I'm saying I don't think this is
1230
00:49:42,250 --> 00:49:43,530
on purpose, but that is crazy
for me.
1231
00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:45,120
This week.
Could we move that a week?
1232
00:49:45,130 --> 00:49:47,500
Because then this week I can
focus on assessments, next week
1233
00:49:47,510 --> 00:49:49,860
I can focus on proofreading.
Immediate yes.
1234
00:49:49,870 --> 00:49:52,780
No one, no one batted an either.
Oh God, yeah, that makes sense.
1235
00:49:52,830 --> 00:49:55,570
My line manager, my head of
year, Ohh, yeah, I'll go, I'll
1236
00:49:55,580 --> 00:49:58,000
go and talk to the head and talk
to the head was like, yeah, God,
1237
00:49:58,010 --> 00:49:59,330
yeah, that's.
Actually, that's what you get
1238
00:49:59,340 --> 00:50:00,630
when you got.
It was fixed.
1239
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,900
Exactly.
It was fixed immediately,
1240
00:50:01,910 --> 00:50:03,320
though.
It's a separate conversation.
1241
00:50:03,330 --> 00:50:06,120
If that doesn't work, you know,
if if you're a professional with
1242
00:50:06,130 --> 00:50:09,330
a good explanation of why you're
asking for something and it's
1243
00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:12,770
completely reasonable, like I
think this was most of the time
1244
00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:14,300
there will be something put in
place to fix it.
1245
00:50:14,310 --> 00:50:15,500
Yeah.
Hundred don't have to be a
1246
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:17,230
martyr.
Be open, be honest.
1247
00:50:17,310 --> 00:50:18,720
There are usually ways around it
that we can.
1248
00:50:18,730 --> 00:50:20,180
Be.
And if they say no, that's a
1249
00:50:20,190 --> 00:50:21,830
difference.
Don't be a sign that they're
1250
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,140
toxic.
And actually, definitely don't
1251
00:50:23,150 --> 00:50:25,450
be a martyr.
Yeah.
1252
00:50:25,460 --> 00:50:26,660
Exactly.
You want to rethink where you
1253
00:50:26,670 --> 00:50:28,030
are.
But yeah, that's good.
1254
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,720
That's really good advice.
I could put that there.
1255
00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:30,770
Give it a nine.
That's good.
1256
00:50:30,780 --> 00:50:32,820
That's solid.
Someone at home can order these.
1257
00:50:32,830 --> 00:50:34,960
Maybe at the end number six only
two left.
1258
00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:36,340
I didn't vote for number 4, so
good luck.
1259
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:37,080
Brilliant.
Yeah.
1260
00:50:37,150 --> 00:50:38,810
Do you know we didn't?
OK.
1261
00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:44,420
Anyway, yeah, good one, yes.
Have things to look forward to
1262
00:50:44,430 --> 00:50:48,200
in your personal life.
That that for me, transforms my
1263
00:50:48,210 --> 00:50:50,550
mood entirely.
When I knew that we were going
1264
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,220
to centre parks in that half
term, honestly, that time all I
1265
00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:56,480
kept thinking about was, oh,
look, three more weeks to centre
1266
00:50:56,490 --> 00:50:58,280
Parks.
Ohh, look, two more weeks centre
1267
00:50:58,290 --> 00:50:59,510
parks.
It's going to be fun, isn't it?
1268
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,370
And I know I've got reports to
do, but Oh my God, I'm gonna go
1269
00:51:01,380 --> 00:51:02,660
to centre Parks.
Isn't that really cool?
1270
00:51:02,810 --> 00:51:05,590
And, you know, it slipped off
the waggon since Rory came, but
1271
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,720
every Tuesday to play football.
And people at work knew it.
1272
00:51:08,730 --> 00:51:11,060
And I realised people at work
knew it because I spoke about
1273
00:51:11,070 --> 00:51:13,100
it, because it was a fun part of
my week.
1274
00:51:13,110 --> 00:51:15,520
I've got football tonight.
I'd say to people go football
1275
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:17,890
tonight and trying that thing to
get me through the day.
1276
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:19,500
I agree.
Don't don't sacrifice that
1277
00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:21,110
because it can be really, really
tempting at the minute.
1278
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,160
But I've got your six
production.
1279
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:24,570
I've got I've got transition.
I've got end of school
1280
00:51:24,580 --> 00:51:26,230
performance.
I've I've got to do extra work
1281
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:27,330
tonight.
Ohh, no, I'm gonna have to
1282
00:51:27,340 --> 00:51:29,350
cancel that yoga.
I'm going to cancel meeting my
1283
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,770
friend.
Do not do that.
1284
00:51:30,780 --> 00:51:32,210
This is a job.
Sacred bit of.
1285
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:35,310
Time, go and see your mate,
spend time with your family,
1286
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,090
cordon it off and if something,
if you're doing extra work and
1287
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,980
it hits into that, it's sacred.
Don't let it be the person who
1288
00:51:42,990 --> 00:51:44,980
says no.
And then if someone turns around
1289
00:51:44,990 --> 00:51:47,480
and said, well, why didn't you
wait till 9:00 last night?
1290
00:51:47,530 --> 00:51:49,740
Firstly, insane.
And they probably won't.
1291
00:51:49,790 --> 00:51:51,810
So don't worry about it.
And if they do, again, it's a
1292
00:51:51,820 --> 00:51:54,120
separate conversation and, and
you know what you could do?
1293
00:51:54,130 --> 00:51:56,180
You could just say to them,
because I was doing something
1294
00:51:56,190 --> 00:51:58,060
different, because I'm a human
being with a life and this job
1295
00:51:58,070 --> 00:51:58,700
is my.
Life.
1296
00:51:58,750 --> 00:52:01,720
The happiest teachers that I've
ever known, The ones that are
1297
00:52:01,730 --> 00:52:04,040
chilled out, start a new term
feeling fresh and good are
1298
00:52:04,050 --> 00:52:06,780
always the ones that go away.
They're just bugger off over
1299
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:08,890
half term or whatever it is.
Even just the weekend, they're
1300
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:10,650
going to see their mates, they
going to see their family, do
1301
00:52:10,660 --> 00:52:12,100
whatever they want to do.
It doesn't need to be spending
1302
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:14,640
loads of money, it can just be
doing something you like doing.
1303
00:52:14,650 --> 00:52:17,570
It could be bingeing on Netflix.
Yeah, just whatever, but look
1304
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:19,920
forward to it.
I I find that if I don't have at
1305
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:23,450
least one thing a week to just
look forward to, then I do.
1306
00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:24,980
I do.
Stress usually this podcast.
1307
00:52:24,990 --> 00:52:27,330
Yeah, absolutely.
But just being on that train and
1308
00:52:27,340 --> 00:52:30,800
like with no destination and
you're sat next to four people
1309
00:52:30,810 --> 00:52:33,610
with period chickens, that's
what it feels like sometimes in
1310
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:35,160
teaching, isn't it?
It's like, I've got anything to
1311
00:52:35,170 --> 00:52:37,790
look forward to it.
It really, really quickly just
1312
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,310
rots away at your mind.
Yeah, you have managed to almost
1313
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,660
ruin every single point with
your.
1314
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,270
I am trying so.
Hard.
1315
00:52:44,180 --> 00:52:46,040
I'm trying so hard.
OK.
1316
00:52:46,050 --> 00:52:49,990
Last one tip 7, Did you rate
that 10 by?
1317
00:52:51,250 --> 00:52:54,900
I'll give it like a 6.7.
Why did you choose 6.7?
1318
00:52:54,910 --> 00:52:57,620
I just think it's important.
Did something happen in the
1319
00:52:57,630 --> 00:53:00,660
election that 67 OK, I don't
trust you.
1320
00:53:00,670 --> 00:53:04,120
I think it did.
Last tip this.
1321
00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:05,560
I love the idea you're thinking
now.
1322
00:53:05,570 --> 00:53:07,380
Like genuine.
Yeah, because I'm really
1323
00:53:07,390 --> 00:53:12,930
thinking the labour gets 67% of
13 #7 big one for me, big one
1324
00:53:12,940 --> 00:53:14,220
that I would love everyone to
do.
1325
00:53:15,010 --> 00:53:19,300
Cordon off time in school to
enjoy with your class.
1326
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:22,740
Simple, you know, not just
cordon off a bit of time where
1327
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:25,160
you know, you do just let them
have a bit of edge to play.
1328
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:28,060
You do just put a film on with.
Them my timetables full.
1329
00:53:28,970 --> 00:53:31,080
Tough this is this part of the
timetable.
1330
00:53:31,130 --> 00:53:33,180
Don't do something, don't do
something.
1331
00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:35,800
Instead of doing 5 tasks in your
geography lesson, do 3.
1332
00:53:35,970 --> 00:53:38,740
Genuinely do three and then
spend some time with your kids
1333
00:53:38,750 --> 00:53:41,000
that you have built a bond with
over a year.
1334
00:53:41,370 --> 00:53:44,260
They are going to just enjoy
themselves with you, OK?
1335
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:46,760
It doesn't have to be the end
goal of they know.
1336
00:53:46,850 --> 00:53:49,760
Ohh, no, I didn't do the bit
where we found out that the
1337
00:53:49,770 --> 00:53:53,090
European bit was a It was a
temperate climate in Poland.
1338
00:53:53,940 --> 00:53:54,890
You know what?
Yeah.
1339
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:56,410
So what?
Because it ended the school
1340
00:53:56,420 --> 00:53:57,840
year.
You're gonna miss these kids
1341
00:53:57,850 --> 00:53:59,460
when they go out next year.
If you built that bomb with.
1342
00:53:59,470 --> 00:54:01,270
Them they're not gonna remember
that fact anyway.
1343
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,030
Yeah, exactly.
Not remember that, but all they
1344
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,390
will remember is being in
school, having a good time,
1345
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,460
enjoying themselves.
And that is where I'm just like,
1346
00:54:07,540 --> 00:54:11,050
I know I'm the biggest advocate
for school is for learning and
1347
00:54:11,060 --> 00:54:12,590
progress and all this kind of
stuff.
1348
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,770
It's also for enjoying life.
They're humans.
1349
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:19,850
Give them something to enjoy and
spend some time with them and
1350
00:54:19,860 --> 00:54:21,710
get to know them.
You know them really well by
1351
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,280
now.
Just have a bit of fun with.
1352
00:54:23,290 --> 00:54:24,630
Them.
Yeah, simple psychology.
1353
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:27,190
Millions of kids are.
If kids have a nice time at the
1354
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,480
end of the day, they want to
come into school the next day
1355
00:54:29,490 --> 00:54:31,180
because they had a good day.
You know, it's very.
1356
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:33,310
Easy.
I transitioned day this week, so
1357
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,740
I was gonna talk about that.
Yeah, with the children.
1358
00:54:36,970 --> 00:54:39,440
So I went in.
It was our day off technically,
1359
00:54:39,490 --> 00:54:40,870
but I like to go and meet the
class.
1360
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,440
You went in as well.
And it was with my partner,
1361
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:45,920
teacher Amy.
And she said I was thinking we
1362
00:54:45,930 --> 00:54:47,950
could split the class in half.
You take half them out so it's a
1363
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,420
bit smaller.
And then after like 10-15
1364
00:54:50,430 --> 00:54:52,400
minutes, just swap and you play
a little game with them.
1365
00:54:52,450 --> 00:54:54,390
And I was chatting to them and
one of them asked me a question
1366
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,030
and they said, are you a fun
teacher?
1367
00:54:57,620 --> 00:55:00,870
Now I, I know, again, I know for
a fact, like, I've got this
1368
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,230
reputation amongst the kids.
It's exciting for Mr. Price.
1369
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:06,290
Mr. Price is a fun teacher.
Mr. Price is.
1370
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,390
Everyone knows Mr. Price has
been on TV.
1371
00:55:08,460 --> 00:55:09,970
Mr. Price has some YouTube
videos.
1372
00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:11,680
Isn't that cool?
And he's friends with Alistair
1373
00:55:11,690 --> 00:55:13,580
Campbell.
Yeah, they're all saying that.
1374
00:55:13,620 --> 00:55:17,370
But there's this kind of idea
that, oh, that's a cool thing.
1375
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:19,710
And this child asked me.
They were, they were buzzing.
1376
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:20,770
It was.
So it was really nice.
1377
00:55:20,780 --> 00:55:22,490
They're really happy.
They're really excited to join
1378
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:24,990
us next year.
And she put her hand up beaming
1379
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,510
like, are you fun?
And I was like, ohh, I need to
1380
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,790
get this right.
Yeah, I need to get this right.
1381
00:55:30,340 --> 00:55:32,840
So I said, get out my room right
now.
1382
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,090
No, I said to her.
Ah, great question.
1383
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,480
Now I think so.
I said to.
1384
00:55:38,490 --> 00:55:40,620
I think I am.
I think I'm really fun.
1385
00:55:40,700 --> 00:55:43,440
But do you know what?
There are two things that my
1386
00:55:43,450 --> 00:55:45,480
class need to do?
Yeah, there are two things my
1387
00:55:45,490 --> 00:55:47,970
class have to do.
And if they don't do the first
1388
00:55:47,980 --> 00:55:49,860
thing, we can't do the second
thing.
1389
00:55:49,910 --> 00:55:53,590
And you know what it was I said
to them, everyone in my class
1390
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:57,490
has to try their hardest
everyday and do their best work
1391
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:59,580
every single day.
That's the first thing you have
1392
00:55:59,590 --> 00:56:01,130
to do.
But do you know what will happen
1393
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:03,550
if you do that?
The second thing, which is we'll
1394
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,850
have a really good time and
you're going to have a lot of
1395
00:56:05,860 --> 00:56:08,130
fun in school because we're
going to try our hardest, do our
1396
00:56:08,140 --> 00:56:10,230
best and we're going to enjoy.
Doing it, I like that you set it
1397
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,770
up as like a cumulative thing.
You have to do A to get B&B.
1398
00:56:13,780 --> 00:56:15,720
Is the bit you want.
Yeah, exactly that, exactly
1399
00:56:15,730 --> 00:56:18,690
that, because all of them.
And I said to them at the end,
1400
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,210
does that sound fair?
Does that sound good?
1401
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,800
Buzzing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1402
00:56:22,870 --> 00:56:24,770
Yeah, yeah, so good.
You've always been a fun
1403
00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:26,870
teacher, right?
Is that something you would have
1404
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,300
said in your second year of
teaching?
1405
00:56:29,650 --> 00:56:32,120
Um.
Being a new class.
1406
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,550
But you know what I think you
think I'm gonna say no, but I
1407
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,980
think I would really, I think I
would have, I think I've always
1408
00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:41,760
been, well, very quickly, I feel
like in my career I that, that
1409
00:56:41,770 --> 00:56:43,340
was my way to get through to
children.
1410
00:56:43,350 --> 00:56:45,160
And I knew that.
And I think, I think I've, I've
1411
00:56:45,170 --> 00:56:46,960
kind of always embedded that in
my class.
1412
00:56:47,010 --> 00:56:49,740
I think I wouldn't maybe be as
confident with it Now I'm like,
1413
00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:51,660
I know this formula works.
I'm going to do this, I'm going
1414
00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:54,160
to do that.
But I, I think for me that
1415
00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:55,760
works.
I've got another funny story and
1416
00:56:55,770 --> 00:56:57,840
maybe you can come back to this.
It's not necessarily funny, but
1417
00:56:57,850 --> 00:57:01,300
it's really interesting because
throughout my career, most
1418
00:57:01,310 --> 00:57:03,570
children and I've been in
awkward situations when this
1419
00:57:03,580 --> 00:57:04,720
happens.
I've just been really honest
1420
00:57:04,730 --> 00:57:06,920
with everyone is saying, and
everyone knows these teachers in
1421
00:57:06,930 --> 00:57:10,850
their school where a child might
come up to me and they were in
1422
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,030
the person's class who's next to
me last year or maybe has them
1423
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,610
for maths and I've got them for
English.
1424
00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:17,740
And they'll come up to me and
say, oh, you're my favourite
1425
00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:20,690
teacher, I love your lessons,
you're my favourite teacher.
1426
00:57:20,700 --> 00:57:23,630
Oh my God, you're so fun.
And I die inside because I know
1427
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,820
being fun in the children's eyes
absolutely doesn't necessarily
1428
00:57:26,830 --> 00:57:27,920
mean I'm a better teacher than
anyone.
1429
00:57:27,930 --> 00:57:30,230
No, no, it means that the
children, they just, they just
1430
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,320
have this bond with me where
they think I'm fine and they
1431
00:57:32,330 --> 00:57:34,590
love my lesson.
I'm never gonna apologise for
1432
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,360
that.
But I I get awkward because I
1433
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:38,530
think I don't want the person
next to me, the fellow
1434
00:57:38,540 --> 00:57:40,990
professional, to think that
remotely reflects on their
1435
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,800
teacher.
Yeah, yeah.
1436
00:57:41,810 --> 00:57:45,430
And I had a really nice moment,
even though it was detrimental
1437
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,910
to me, had a really nice moment
a week or two ago where a child
1438
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,740
in my class was talking to me
and their set teacher was in the
1439
00:57:52,750 --> 00:57:55,720
room as well.
And they said to me, I can't
1440
00:57:55,730 --> 00:57:57,790
remember how we got into it, but
this child said to me, well, you
1441
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,530
know, you're a fun teacher,
aren't you?
1442
00:57:59,540 --> 00:58:02,170
It's quite mature boy, you're,
you're a fun teacher, aren't
1443
00:58:02,180 --> 00:58:04,930
you?
And it was almost said like,
1444
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,560
yeah, you're a fun, like it
might be quite a bad thing.
1445
00:58:07,570 --> 00:58:10,300
You're a fun teacher.
And then he, he must have
1446
00:58:10,310 --> 00:58:12,720
realised quickly, oh, no, I'm
not necessarily saying it's a
1447
00:58:12,730 --> 00:58:14,750
bad thing, but you are.
You're a fun teacher.
1448
00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:17,440
And then he looked at the set
teacher and he said, whereas
1449
00:58:17,450 --> 00:58:19,530
you're more strict.
And in my my heart sank and I
1450
00:58:19,540 --> 00:58:21,650
was like, oh God, this has
happened a million times before.
1451
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,300
Yeah, yeah, you're more strict.
It's awful.
1452
00:58:23,350 --> 00:58:24,680
But he then said you're more
strict.
1453
00:58:24,690 --> 00:58:27,920
So it means I get to learn more
with you to the set teacher.
1454
00:58:27,930 --> 00:58:28,540
Wow.
Yeah.
1455
00:58:28,550 --> 00:58:31,710
And, and, and honestly,
honestly, I'm being really
1456
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,050
honest because I think if my
first or second year that would
1457
00:58:34,060 --> 00:58:36,280
have killed me, that would have
absolutely killed me, I'd be
1458
00:58:36,290 --> 00:58:38,070
like, ohh, God, I'm I'm doing
the wrong thing.
1459
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,010
I wanted him to say it louder.
I was like, yeah, yes.
1460
00:58:42,020 --> 00:58:44,460
Because I know for a fact strict
teachers out there, yeah, I
1461
00:58:44,470 --> 00:58:46,570
probably listening to us going,
yeah, build a relationship, have
1462
00:58:46,580 --> 00:58:48,070
fun with your class.
And like, I can't do that.
1463
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,610
This is how I teach.
I'm strict.
1464
00:58:49,660 --> 00:58:51,120
Yeah.
Some of my favourite teachers at
1465
00:58:51,130 --> 00:58:53,200
school were strict.
It doesn't mean you're a bad
1466
00:58:53,210 --> 00:58:55,940
teacher if you're strict.
And I loved, I actually loved
1467
00:58:55,950 --> 00:58:58,070
that he said that because every
child is different.
1468
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,330
There are going to be some
children who prefer my style of
1469
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:01,610
teaching.
Yeah, there are gonna be some
1470
00:59:01,620 --> 00:59:03,930
children who?
Prefer just want to focus.
1471
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:05,810
Exactly that and they know they
can get through.
1472
00:59:05,850 --> 00:59:08,330
Maybe sometimes that child feels
like get through more work
1473
00:59:08,340 --> 00:59:10,200
because they're not as
distracted maybe by me talking
1474
00:59:10,210 --> 00:59:12,590
about something for 10 minutes.
And I just wanted to make that
1475
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,510
point to everyone listening.
You know, I talk about having
1476
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,710
fun with your class to to you
that might be having some quiet
1477
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:18,980
time in the class, but they read
their books.
1478
00:59:18,990 --> 00:59:21,690
I don't know what it is but but
I don't want anyone to think
1479
00:59:21,700 --> 00:59:24,240
that.
If you're not traditionally fun
1480
00:59:24,250 --> 00:59:27,460
teacher who traditionally the
kids absolutely adore and love,
1481
00:59:27,530 --> 00:59:29,250
it absolutely doesn't mean
you're a bad teacher.
1482
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:30,990
Doesn't mean a bad teacher and
it doesn't mean the kids don't
1483
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,410
like you as much.
Complete example proves exactly
1484
00:59:33,420 --> 00:59:35,000
you can like someone for a
different reason.
1485
00:59:35,330 --> 00:59:38,760
Like liking someone is not tied
exclusively to how fun they.
1486
00:59:38,770 --> 00:59:43,260
Are and and our job genuinely is
not to be liked.
1487
00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:46,220
I think there's benefits to it
and I think my aim is to be
1488
00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:48,000
liked for many reasons talked
about.
1489
00:59:48,090 --> 00:59:49,940
It's a tool.
Being fun is at all.
1490
00:59:50,090 --> 00:59:52,160
It's funny because I think your
behaviour management has been
1491
00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:54,250
quite consistent.
I feel like journey has been
1492
00:59:54,260 --> 00:59:55,720
very different.
Your behaviour management has
1493
00:59:55,730 --> 00:59:57,650
been, you know, for anyone not
watching, it's just like a very
1494
00:59:57,660 --> 01:00:00,710
slow, slow linear line upwards.
You started quite strong.
1495
01:00:00,780 --> 01:00:02,590
My behaviour management been a
very different journey.
1496
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,310
I started right down there with
my top goal was I need these
1497
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,590
kids to like me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1498
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,890
And other things went out the
window to start and I've come up
1499
01:00:09,900 --> 01:00:11,920
the other end now.
I'd say I'm more strict than I
1500
01:00:11,930 --> 01:00:14,230
ever have been.
But it's funny because I gave a
1501
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,380
very, it shows how, you know,
experience has changed.
1502
01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:20,790
But I gave a very similar speech
to, to my new class as well.
1503
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,190
They didn't say are you fun?
But we were going over the rules
1504
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,430
and expectations of year.
And all this and I said, look
1505
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,030
guys, there are two versions of
me.
1506
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,890
This is what I said to them.
There are two versions of me and
1507
01:00:30,900 --> 01:00:33,600
I have been both of them with
classes in this school in year
1508
01:00:33,610 --> 01:00:37,430
six in the last couple of years.
Said version one is where I am
1509
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,150
extremely strict and, and I will
not have fun with you because
1510
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,370
the first priority is that I do
my job.
1511
01:00:44,380 --> 01:00:47,000
And remember guys, I'm here to
do a job, which is to make sure
1512
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:50,150
you guys get an education.
I said, so I have had classes
1513
01:00:50,260 --> 01:00:54,390
where if I if I'm a little bit
fun, they will take advantage of
1514
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,760
me and therefore other children
in the class don't learn.
1515
01:00:57,770 --> 01:01:00,720
So I can't do it.
And I've had classes and I said
1516
01:01:00,730 --> 01:01:03,780
like my class this year because
I had a lovely bunch, I said,
1517
01:01:03,790 --> 01:01:07,500
who are so respectful that I can
have fun with them and I can be
1518
01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:11,300
myself all the time because I
know that when we need to move
1519
01:01:11,310 --> 01:01:13,510
on and move on as that.
And I said, and so it's
1520
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,940
completely in your hands now,
which version of me you want.
1521
01:01:18,050 --> 01:01:21,060
I said, but I will, I will act
accordingly to what you do.
1522
01:01:21,070 --> 01:01:22,680
So your actions will impact my
teaching.
1523
01:01:22,750 --> 01:01:24,900
And I left it at that.
And they were really intently
1524
01:01:24,910 --> 01:01:27,040
listening at this point.
I thought you can immediately
1525
01:01:27,050 --> 01:01:28,700
tell with classes.
And I was like, I think they're
1526
01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:31,270
going to be a good class because
I just even the way they were
1527
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,080
soaking that in, I was like,
yeah, this is this is good.
1528
01:01:33,090 --> 01:01:34,860
It's a good start.
I would have said that.
1529
01:01:34,870 --> 01:01:36,730
I wouldn't have said that five
years ago.
1530
01:01:36,770 --> 01:01:39,580
Genuinely my behave manager.
Would have been the Joker the.
1531
01:01:39,590 --> 01:01:40,410
Funny guy?
Exactly.
1532
01:01:40,420 --> 01:01:43,170
Yeah, I think, I think that's
what people who don't work high
1533
01:01:43,180 --> 01:01:48,120
school, I think sometimes they
underestimate how much children
1534
01:01:48,130 --> 01:01:49,760
genuinely do get stuff like
that.
1535
01:01:49,850 --> 01:01:51,200
It's almost quite nuanced, isn't
it?
1536
01:01:51,210 --> 01:01:52,780
Like you might think, well,
they're just children just
1537
01:01:52,790 --> 01:01:55,260
acting a certain way.
You can see the cogs turning.
1538
01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:57,790
Even my year four children,
they're eight and nine years
1539
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,270
old.
Well, actually seven and eight
1540
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,720
now they're in year 3 coming up
to me.
1541
01:02:00,790 --> 01:02:03,110
And I knew I could say that to
them because that's really
1542
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:04,740
simple.
And do you know what teachers
1543
01:02:04,750 --> 01:02:07,220
are really good at is getting
across things very simply to
1544
01:02:07,230 --> 01:02:09,640
children.
And it was, it was honestly, in
1545
01:02:09,650 --> 01:02:11,640
terms of behaviour management,
it's diluted down to those two
1546
01:02:11,650 --> 01:02:13,960
things, right?
The number one thing that all
1547
01:02:13,970 --> 01:02:17,110
teachers is that the children
are learning, trying hard, doing
1548
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,900
their best, following the rules,
It's as simple as that.
1549
01:02:19,970 --> 01:02:21,340
And, and nothing could come
before that.
1550
01:02:21,350 --> 01:02:23,450
And what you do after that, I
think that's down to your
1551
01:02:23,460 --> 01:02:25,100
professional judgement and
that's your style.
1552
01:02:25,150 --> 01:02:27,380
And if everyone was the same, it
would be really boring, wouldn't
1553
01:02:27,390 --> 01:02:28,980
it?
So I don't want to change anyone
1554
01:02:28,990 --> 01:02:32,780
thinks, but we all agree, don't
mean that the number one goal is
1555
01:02:32,790 --> 01:02:34,620
children are making progress.
And if they're not, as a
1556
01:02:34,630 --> 01:02:35,810
teacher, you've got to be
malleable.
1557
01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:38,160
And I think what you've said
there is, is bang on.
1558
01:02:38,170 --> 01:02:40,680
If you want to be the fun guy,
the fun teacher.
1559
01:02:40,750 --> 01:02:44,360
And as a male teacher it I feel
like I can slot into that
1560
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,450
because the kids automatically
think that that ohh boy teacher.
1561
01:02:47,460 --> 01:02:48,940
Wow.
Yeah, don't get many of them.
1562
01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:52,180
Easier to step into that role.
Yeah, you, but you've got a
1563
01:02:52,190 --> 01:02:54,750
responsibility and to make sure
those kids are making really
1564
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,880
good progress and the day that
wasn't happening is the day I
1565
01:02:57,890 --> 01:02:59,990
absolutely should be pulled up
and anything like that.
1566
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,440
So I think very reflective.
Sounds good.
1567
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,290
No, absolutely.
So my 7 tips, we managed to get
1568
01:03:05,300 --> 01:03:07,860
about 5 minutes of decent chat
at the end without you saying
1569
01:03:07,870 --> 01:03:09,030
anything about it.
We did.
1570
01:03:10,410 --> 01:03:12,120
You got the black shirts on.
Back to mourning.
1571
01:03:12,130 --> 01:03:14,490
The Conservative.
Party.
1572
01:03:14,580 --> 01:03:19,230
Ohh, the Tory party.
And that's.
1573
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:24,890
The No, it's not.
They have just lost out 200
1574
01:03:24,900 --> 01:03:26,590
seats and that's the.
End.
1575
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,450
And no, it's not because they
got demolished.
1576
01:03:30,460 --> 01:03:38,040
Angelien Teagan is not an MP.
Ohh I find it so funny ohh.
1577

Hello everyone, welcome back to
another episode of Teach, Sleep
2
00:00:04,190 --> 00:00:06,780
and Repeat.
My name is Dylan.
3
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:12,540
And my name is Hayden.
Hayden Why are we so happy?
4
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:16,120
I don't know is there anything
to be happy about right now on
5
00:00:16,129 --> 00:00:20,920
Friday the 5th of July when we
just found out something big?
6
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:22,700
Ohh, that's right, we're both
wearing.
7
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:27,400
Black Do you know why it's the
death of the Conservative Party.
8
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:32,910
They got obliterated.
Oh my God, I, I'm, I'm genuinely
9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,830
never been felt so relieved in
my life ever.
10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,520
The death of the Conservative
Party, and I did go straight
11
00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:40,710
into.
This that's a, that's a big
12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,980
bold.
That's a big market.
13
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:44,690
Probably not, but whatever.
It's hilarious because they're
14
00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:48,410
absolutely rinsed.
One thing that really popped out
15
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:50,390
for me yesterday.
OK, yeah, I was.
16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,260
I was absolutely loving it
because I saw.
17
00:00:52,270 --> 00:00:55,110
Sorry, what was yesterday?
Was the general election and all
18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,440
the results coming in and my
favourite thing that came out
19
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:00,690
the general election was that
Gillian Keegan has lost her.
20
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:01,820
Seat.
Yeah, it's OK.
21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:04,239
And you know what I was thinking
to myself, do you know what?
22
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:05,920
What?
Gillian Keegan, when these big
23
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:08,460
figures lose a seat, there might
be some really nuanced argument,
24
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:10,930
you know, a nuanced kind of,
let's think of maybe a report
25
00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:13,490
that we might put together as to
why she lost her seat and all
26
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,040
the good things she tried to do
and all the obstacles that were
27
00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:17,500
in her way.
And yeah, you know, phonics was
28
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:19,680
done really well.
Maybe she faced these problems
29
00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:21,940
trying to sort out the rack.
But then I thought, actually,
30
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:25,240
Gillian Keegan, she said that we
just need a one word report for
31
00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:27,830
how well schools are going on
and we can't trust any parents,
32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,670
just need one word.
So I guess the public can just
33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,580
have one word for Harris,
actually performance.
34
00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:37,260
Yes.
Whoa, I was going to say bye,
35
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:39,630
but you're using expletives.
It's OK, we can beep it out.
36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:40,290
So that's all.
Good.
37
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:42,820
Can we not gonna enjoy that
anyway.
38
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:45,730
Because I'm not Good job that I
just lost my job as well.
39
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:47,110
So I'm joining you, Jillian.
Nice one.
40
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:51,490
Yeah, absolutely hilarious.
I've got no sympathy whatsoever
41
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,170
for them, big names for their
seats, and I'm incredibly,
42
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:55,280
incredibly happy.
Excellent.
43
00:01:55,290 --> 00:01:57,440
Dylan, let's come back.
Let's calm down a bit.
44
00:01:57,450 --> 00:01:58,610
Let's calm down a bit.
Let's.
45
00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:00,340
Let's talk elections.
Trust people.
46
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:01,890
Who wants to debate when he just
one?
47
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:02,950
Why?
We can't.
48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,090
We can't list trust anyone.
At least he's nowhere to be
49
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:05,950
seen.
No, she's alright.
50
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,800
She's gone.
She's out.
51
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,020
Let's go back to that.
We'll come back to that.
52
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:10,990
Let's start our week.
Come on.
53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Normal episode.
Yep.
54
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,110
Nothing different.
Are we gonna carry on singing or
55
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,290
was that just a one off?
I think we did it once.
56
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,320
Once every four or five years.
OK.
57
00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:25,320
OK, tune into Chester repeat in
2029 season six episode 4.
58
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:26,140
Yeah.
Baby.
59
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:27,080
Yeah.
OK.
60
00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:27,970
Sorry.
How are you?
61
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:29,080
Are you OK?
How's your week been?
62
00:02:29,090 --> 00:02:30,560
I don't really feel like I'm
seeing you this week.
63
00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:31,920
No.
Yeah, it's been actually quite
64
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:33,150
nice.
I don't know why I feel that way
65
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:34,290
but.
Quite nice.
66
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,520
Sorry, hang on, I've not seen
you much this week.
67
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:41,110
It's been quite nice.
What one big thing I must say is
68
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,070
the feedback from last week.
That interview.
69
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,460
I say our interview, my
interview.
70
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:46,340
With Alistair Campbell.
Wasn't there.
71
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:47,510
Yeah.
So you weren't there.
72
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,080
One of the most amounts of
feedback we've ever received.
73
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:52,300
Positive, honestly.
But it's been really nice.
74
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,000
Genuinely.
I've had.
75
00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:56,680
We had a lot of feedback from
people saying that it was just
76
00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:58,510
like a really good interview.
Normally chat.
77
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,870
Yeah.
Normally when people come on the
78
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,810
podcast, it's a great chat.
I love having people in the
79
00:03:01,820 --> 00:03:03,200
podcast.
I love chatting to them.
80
00:03:03,250 --> 00:03:06,310
But this was the one of the
first times really where people
81
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:09,410
were like, Oh yeah, it was.
It was like really interesting
82
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,540
the times of because it was so
relevant to exactly what was
83
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:14,700
going on in that moment if
people actually commented on the
84
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:16,640
style of like interview.
Because we're interviews, we
85
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:18,430
said this before.
I think a lot of the drawback
86
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,500
previously when we spoke to
people that is like, we're not
87
00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:22,100
actually interviewers, we just
want to talk to people.
88
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:23,570
And that comes across so easy,
doesn't it?
89
00:03:23,580 --> 00:03:26,690
And the way we question, the way
we mess up our questions or
90
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,710
whatever, we get talking on.
But you did really good job.
91
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,020
And you know, these guys don't
know, but I'll expose it right
92
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:32,760
now.
But hilariously, Dylan's
93
00:03:32,770 --> 00:03:35,300
computer.
You probably know this if you
94
00:03:35,310 --> 00:03:37,220
watched the episode because
there was nothing to watch.
95
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,920
But Dylan's computer crashed and
he had prepared all these notes
96
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:44,080
and question points because.
Both of the books there's.
97
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:46,200
A big guess you know the massive
guest to have on you wanna be
98
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:48,470
prepared and then Dylan computer
crash and he lost all of his
99
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,590
notes.
So I think it says something
100
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,100
because actually you end up
doing that then just off the top
101
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:54,940
of your head and it just became
a real conversation, which is
102
00:03:54,950 --> 00:03:57,740
why I think it was a good.
And I think that's where guests
103
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,910
in the past where where it's
worked really well is when it
104
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,900
has turned our conversation on
my head.
105
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:04,240
I can think of Sophie.
Sophie's gone a couple of times.
106
00:04:04,330 --> 00:04:06,940
I feel like she's just my mate
at this point, You know, Lee, Mr
107
00:04:06,950 --> 00:04:09,560
P, we've spoken to him a lot of
times, outside customers, lots
108
00:04:09,570 --> 00:04:10,920
of time.
So yeah, no, it was really
109
00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:12,920
enjoyable and good feedback.
So go and listen to it if you
110
00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:14,730
haven't.
It's about politics, especially
111
00:04:14,740 --> 00:04:17,350
topical right now.
And you know, the line in school
112
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,070
as to where teachers should go
to if possible.
113
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,779
Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I mean,
going away from that to
114
00:04:21,790 --> 00:04:22,850
something that happened this
week.
115
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:24,990
And you know, one of the things
now I've got a podcast, right?
116
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,840
I don't know about you, but
things happen sometimes.
117
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,390
I'm like, I'm gonna mention the
podcast.
118
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,480
That is our podcast moment right
there.
119
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,710
And we were on the train coming
back because we went to life
120
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,410
sized monopoly and it's really
fun.
121
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:36,530
So you know, you can you can
search.
122
00:04:36,540 --> 00:04:40,130
It was really cool.
We came first in second place.
123
00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:42,610
There was a there was a family
with like an 8 year old who was
124
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:44,380
named on the vegetables when he
found out we'd be him.
125
00:04:44,390 --> 00:04:45,670
But that was fun.
He made sure of that.
126
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Yeah.
Make sure that you got land
127
00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:48,280
kids.
I told you before on the
128
00:04:48,290 --> 00:04:50,280
podcast, Teach, sleep, repeat.
There's winners and losers in
129
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,930
life, and you gotta learn to
lose.
130
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:55,880
What the Tories?
Who's Mr Don't worry, man.
131
00:04:56,550 --> 00:04:59,980
But I was on the way back on the
train and it was quite a packed
132
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:03,220
train so that you know, when
awkwardly when someone has to
133
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:04,860
sit right next to you.
I hate that.
134
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:06,990
But anyway, fine, probably with
it.
135
00:05:07,090 --> 00:05:09,540
And there's this gym dude, big,
big gym dude.
136
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:12,720
Ohh, yeah, big gym dude.
And I was like big buff guy.
137
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:14,920
Like you know when when someone
like shoulders on your shoulder?
138
00:05:14,930 --> 00:05:17,430
You can start.
You can, you can say what you
139
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,020
want.
I was like, you know, against
140
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:23,180
the window, like, ohh, gosh.
Reached into his bag and he got
141
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:26,870
out of the top aware box.
The state.
142
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,680
It wasn't even part of the.
Chicken, I guess.
143
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,810
Chicken and rice.
No, it's just an entire chicken,
144
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,190
right?
Just just an entire chicken.
145
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,680
Peri peri marinade stunk like it
would be in that Tupperware box
146
00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:39,790
for three days, right?
And I, I kid you not, he had
147
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,170
just a thought.
He put a fork into the chicken.
148
00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:45,390
I was just eating it off the
fork like out out here like
149
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,440
candy to be honest.
Only it wasn't melting in his
150
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:50,030
mouth.
So it didn't.
151
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,140
It wasn't finished in 30
seconds, but 5 minutes.
152
00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:54,610
It's stink.
And I just thought, Oh my God,
153
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,230
this reminder of Hayden with his
bloody lunches in the start.
154
00:05:57,790 --> 00:06:00,480
Candy floss for hot buff dudes
on the train.
155
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:02,940
She get his number?
I like your chicken.
156
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:06,370
No, I didn't share.
I think was appropriate.
157
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:08,360
No, he didn't share it with me.
But yeah, I just, I thought of
158
00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:11,550
your dinners and I think anyone
in the staff room before I got
159
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,700
thinking of the most crazy
things I've walked in the staff
160
00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:16,260
room in scenes.
Anything fish, don't do it.
161
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:18,220
No, don't do it.
That's just a detriment to
162
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:19,840
everyone.
You don't like cheese?
163
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:21,780
No, anything that's got that but
like that.
164
00:06:21,790 --> 00:06:23,250
Mac and cheese.
I don't know what it is about
165
00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:26,280
Mac and cheese that makes the
cheese so disgustingly smelly,
166
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:29,080
but I can't be in the staffroom
if someone's like heated up
167
00:06:29,090 --> 00:06:31,550
melted cheese.
Rancid.
168
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,730
It made me think of that one
time I remember walking to the
169
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:35,850
staff, you and I saw someone
sitting in the corner eating an
170
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,720
entire block of cheese out of
the wrapper.
171
00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:39,920
Just an entire block of cheese.
A core memory.
172
00:06:40,030 --> 00:06:42,710
It's a core memory of just not
only was it instant, like
173
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,440
honestly bizarre to me.
It was like it was kind of
174
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:49,410
disgusting.
Just unplug so bad for you as
175
00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:50,380
well.
Like what?
176
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,420
Would you have for lunch?
I'd half a block of.
177
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:56,300
Cheese.
Yeah, OK.
178
00:06:56,820 --> 00:07:00,640
So what's yeah Oh my I was just
like wow, packed train.
179
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:03,630
Just wait, that's funny.
Yeah, it was disgusting.
180
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:05,020
You got anything about this
weekend?
181
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:06,670
Not really.
No, I wish I would carry.
182
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,090
On Just carry on, carry on.
The most exciting things
183
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,190
happened this week is the
election, so I'm just wondering
184
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,090
what?
Well, there's one other thing I
185
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:15,040
had to mention because I just
found it hilarious.
186
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:19,140
And it was, I was in my class,
my year four class.
187
00:07:19,150 --> 00:07:22,650
So I was teaching the climate
zones of the world.
188
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:26,930
So temperate zones, snow zones,
all the kind of different zones,
189
00:07:26,940 --> 00:07:29,550
arid zones, et cetera.
And we were looking at Europe in
190
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,830
particular.
And one kid put their hand up
191
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,410
and said, OK, So what climate
zone would do by be.
192
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:35,890
And I was like, oh, good
question.
193
00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:38,910
I mean, I imagine it would be
arid, full of deserts, not much
194
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,400
rain, but we'd have to look up.
We'd have to look up.
195
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:43,570
And I was like, and this kid,
ohh, yeah, OK.
196
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,130
And another kid put a hand up
straight away when I was
197
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:47,080
looking.
Cheers.
198
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:48,890
Ohh.
And I was like, yeah, you OK?
199
00:07:48,940 --> 00:07:51,110
Well yeah, just did you say
arid?
200
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,450
And I said yeah.
And she goes oh, I didn't know
201
00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:57,560
Ireland had deserts.
She formant Dublin she got.
202
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,660
Ohh I say I was like why was
this?
203
00:07:59,670 --> 00:08:01,880
Going I realised when I was
telling that joke, I'm talking
204
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,480
to someone hasn't got a clue
about geography.
205
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:06,930
And the the buy in Dublin I've
realised.
206
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:11,410
It now when he said to buy them
for you and they were really
207
00:08:11,420 --> 00:08:13,140
like, honestly, if they aren't
Bando they'd gone home.
208
00:08:13,150 --> 00:08:16,270
But like mum, did you know
Ireland has deserts?
209
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,580
Miss the point?
Of the hottest It's really hot,
210
00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:20,510
never rained all Ireland.
It's lovely.
211
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280
Anyway, love.
That love that.
212
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:25,510
I know you wanna mention one
more thing, so I'm going to come
213
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,930
in and introduce this for you so
you can pretend that it was my
214
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,470
thing and.
I have no idea we're talking.
215
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,550
About the next thing on the
list.
216
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,150
But you said the last thing, so
I'm saving you here without
217
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,330
doing it seamlessly.
These guys don't know.
218
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:37,140
Yeah.
Yeah.
219
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,940
It's like ohh.
Yeah, you didn't have to mention
220
00:08:38,950 --> 00:08:40,280
it was my thing.
You could have started talking
221
00:08:40,289 --> 00:08:41,049
have.
You could have.
222
00:08:41,059 --> 00:08:41,760
You could have.
I know.
223
00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:45,340
You're gonna do it anyway, and
I'm gonna start singing.
224
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:48,500
Here we go again, but you know
how you got a little bit annoyed
225
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:50,300
because, well, you put on
Instagram about someone
226
00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:52,660
stealing, but I'm going to run
for a second.
227
00:08:52,670 --> 00:08:55,070
I know you want to right, but I
think this is mentor some you're
228
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,420
on Instagram all the time.
I'm not the idea that someone
229
00:08:57,430 --> 00:09:01,700
has downloaded a real that
you've made literally just re
230
00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:05,520
uploaded it and then chosen not
to use the inbuilt like tagging
231
00:09:05,530 --> 00:09:08,620
features.
It's just it's just ridiculous
232
00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:11,660
to me like because they put they
write credit goes to these guys.
233
00:09:11,670 --> 00:09:13,220
That means nothing.
It doesn't it?
234
00:09:13,230 --> 00:09:14,990
There's a literal tagging system
that choosing not to use.
235
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,480
They don't use the.
App I ended up commenting.
236
00:09:16,490 --> 00:09:17,920
I didn't tell you.
Ohh no, I commented on my
237
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:20,760
personal my personal Instagram.
I went on one of the other
238
00:09:20,770 --> 00:09:24,170
videos pressing though.
Isn't it that you just steal
239
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:26,710
literally everyone's content and
upload it and forget how to use
240
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,110
the tagging system?
Interesting.
241
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,990
With a little emoji face he's
got like the.
242
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:34,450
Umm right, it's a contact for
anyone who's listening.
243
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:36,710
What are you on about?
There's this huge Instagram,
244
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,750
right?
And there's loads of them.
245
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,990
There's 100K followers, over
100K followers.
246
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,110
And for context, we're like
knocking on the door of 6K
247
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,450
followers, which by the way,
unbelievable.
248
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:46,620
I'm not actually obsessed with
the number because what's great
249
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:49,170
about our followers and
Instagram is that I, I speak to
250
00:09:49,180 --> 00:09:52,210
so many people on our Instagram.
It's like a proper community, at
251
00:09:52,220 --> 00:09:53,960
least four.
And one of those risks Sunak,
252
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:58,580
who's got job anymore.
So, but yeah, I mean over 100K
253
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:00,360
followers.
And like you said, honestly,
254
00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:01,710
they do it to everyone.
They do to everyone.
255
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,840
So I did this Instagram post
because they, they took one of
256
00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:06,240
our most popular reels.
Cause some of like, I don't know
257
00:10:06,250 --> 00:10:08,740
how many, but a bunch of our
reels have over a million views,
258
00:10:08,830 --> 00:10:11,050
thousands and thousands of
likes, loads of engagement.
259
00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:12,120
We get lots of followers from
them.
260
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:14,290
That's like one of the way we
grow on Instagram is by posting
261
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:16,140
these funny reels.
I try to be funny anyway.
262
00:10:16,510 --> 00:10:20,660
And there is this, yeah, they
have 100K and they just rip off
263
00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:24,220
content like from, from, from
creators and they will write in
264
00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:26,900
plain text underneath their own
caption.
265
00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:29,040
And then like hidden somewhere
between hashtags and stuff.
266
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:30,300
So it's really hard to see
anyway.
267
00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:33,260
They'll just say credit to and
then type out the names you
268
00:10:33,270 --> 00:10:34,300
know, out.
Like you said, you can't
269
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:36,890
directly go to this page if
you're a random seeing this and
270
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:42,360
then says has the gut the goal
to say underneath for credit or
271
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,520
removal, please DM.
Yeah.
272
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:48,400
And I just thought that is
firstly, you're saying credit
273
00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:50,280
too, knowing you're not
crediting them because then you
274
00:10:50,290 --> 00:10:53,060
go on to say for credit if you
want credit for your for your
275
00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:55,680
work that you've literally made.
It's insane.
276
00:10:55,690 --> 00:10:58,350
And I did an Instagram post and
my Instagram post with more
277
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,390
generic because again, I said,
look, I know how memes work
278
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,290
online.
I, I know how this work because
279
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,290
I've made memes now and I've
seen like, you know, clips of
280
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,460
famous people saying a line,
which can be put into lots of
281
00:11:09,470 --> 00:11:11,090
different contexts.
That's how memes work.
282
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,070
And then I will take that clip
and I'll put my own caption on
283
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,090
it, Right.
Sometimes we post stuff and then
284
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,750
people will again, take the
idea, make their own thing.
285
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,390
Yeah.
And it, and maybe they're kind
286
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,090
of coming towards the line of
just copying.
287
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,070
But, you know, maybe I've done
that to other people without
288
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,610
even noticing myself.
But at least you're taking the
289
00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:31,430
effort to sit and make your own
real.
290
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,090
Yeah, sit and make your own.
Different to just download.
291
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,310
It you can be kind of annoyed at
that, but you just gotta go over
292
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,730
it because that is the way of
the Internet.
293
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:40,340
Fine.
These people literally download
294
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:43,280
your literal reel off your post
and then just post it
295
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:44,770
themselves.
It's it's your content.
296
00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:46,280
Yeah, yeah.
And they put it out there and it
297
00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:48,220
just seems insane to me.
And I had a lot of people
298
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:51,470
replied to me and I I thought
when I posted it on our stories,
299
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360
I thought I'm just being that
classic moaner on.
300
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:55,450
I like maybe maybe I should have
just, you know, cracked on.
301
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:58,060
But it really annoyed me.
And I had multiple people
302
00:11:58,070 --> 00:12:00,800
replied to me.
Mr P ICT replied to me saying,
303
00:12:00,810 --> 00:12:02,670
oh, my God, don't get me started
on these accounts because he's
304
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,150
content ripped off constantly.
Yeah.
305
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:05,590
The untouchables, Claire
English.
306
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,570
She got in touch again and said,
oh, my gosh, I've just been
307
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:09,930
through this.
Loads of my content is on here.
308
00:12:09,940 --> 00:12:11,890
Not credited.
She's commented, by the way.
309
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,620
I've commented.
She's commented, other people
310
00:12:13,630 --> 00:12:15,170
have commented.
Never heard anything back.
311
00:12:15,220 --> 00:12:17,360
No teachers, health coach
Charlie got in touch and said,
312
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:18,890
Oh my God, it happens all the
time out there.
313
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:21,510
So this big content creators out
there who by the way, make
314
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,600
fantastic content, original
content as well, who just have
315
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:28,410
their stuff completely ripped
off and I'm not being funny.
316
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:32,430
We're A6000 follower Instagram.
It's not ground breaking, it's
317
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,700
not huge, it's amazing, but it's
not, you know, Mr P's got over
318
00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:38,010
150,000, Claire's got over
100,000.
319
00:12:38,060 --> 00:12:40,330
You know, these are big, big
content creators who are still
320
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:41,690
having this stuff completely
ripped off.
321
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,530
That's really annoying, but
there's just this added extra
322
00:12:44,540 --> 00:12:46,150
where we're coming from.
Nothing.
323
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,530
We started this Instagram, this
podcast from nothing.
324
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,920
We've made these rails, We've
made this podcast, which we hope
325
00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:52,510
you enjoyed it.
And I know from what people say,
326
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,800
you really do.
It's frustrating a little bit
327
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:57,270
when someone just comes along,
goes, I'll have that, then I'll
328
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,360
have that, then thank.
You.
329
00:12:58,370 --> 00:12:59,610
Thank you very much.
I'll have that.
330
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,650
So just credit us.
That's 100K.
331
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,550
Teachers follow.
Just don't do it to be honest
332
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,010
with you.
We'll just have the views on our
333
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:05,900
actual.
Video thanks.
334
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:10,650
Yeah, you could do share our
real, Yeah, that's a funny real
335
00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:12,410
our culture.
There's I'll click the share
336
00:13:12,420 --> 00:13:15,190
button instead of I like to
funny reel.
337
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,420
I'll go away and just go like
rip them off completely.
338
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:19,660
Been around forever.
It's rife on social media.
339
00:13:19,890 --> 00:13:21,790
It happened back in the YouTube
days, the glory days.
340
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,590
People would just make duplicate
accounts as well.
341
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,810
They wouldn't even like pretend
it was like a clips 1.
342
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:27,680
They're literally just make an
account had the same name or
343
00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:29,740
someone else upload all their
content and just try and
344
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:30,770
monetise it and get money off
it.
345
00:13:30,780 --> 00:13:33,300
They do on TikTok, Instagram.
It's very annoying.
346
00:13:33,310 --> 00:13:37,820
It's crazy and you know what,
whatever followers on Instagram,
347
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:41,930
please repeat podcast because
lots of original content come
348
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:43,240
along followers and see it
first.
349
00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:46,330
Sorry, I interrupted a very
important part of the podcast.
350
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:47,420
Then I know that we never.
Do that.
351
00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:51,030
We never do table.
I tell you, I like interrupting
352
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,740
Starmer.
Let's get back to it.
353
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:55,370
Ohh.
Let's play the Jingle and
354
00:13:55,650 --> 00:14:00,700
politics.
OK, so this episode is about end
355
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:03,420
of the school year and the top
tips for surviving and we will
356
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:05,910
get onto that.
Yeah, I know we believe it, but
357
00:14:05,950 --> 00:14:09,520
we we simply have to with the
whole history of this podcast
358
00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:12,100
recently and people getting in
touch with so many people
359
00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:14,140
getting in touch, honestly
saying they're really enjoying
360
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:15,890
it.
They love they love kind of like
361
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:17,780
to chat about it because they've
not been interested before, but
362
00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:19,600
they're kind of getting into the
politics and just understanding
363
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,940
what it means.
I had one person very quickly
364
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:25,100
message who said, oh, I'm not
even a teacher and I love the
365
00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:26,380
podcast.
And I was like, oh, that's a
366
00:14:26,390 --> 00:14:29,230
nice thing.
Like I love the idea of just.
367
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,480
And she said, oh, yeah, you're
up there with my favourites.
368
00:14:31,490 --> 00:14:33,130
The rest is politics, which
Alistair Campbell.
369
00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:36,000
And what's the one with parents
from Josh Widdicombe?
370
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,290
OHH parenting.
Yeah, yes.
371
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,050
He said, yeah, yeah, you're
there with my two other
372
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:41,290
favourites.
And I was like, that is unreal.
373
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,300
We're just in this room.
Like for anyone who's watched,
374
00:14:43,310 --> 00:14:47,580
we're just in a bedroom.
Regularly, Joe Weather father,
375
00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:51,020
we're just complete.
Like we're just two dudes in my
376
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:54,440
small bedroom, my small house,
just just who just press record
377
00:14:54,450 --> 00:14:57,110
and just Chuck it out online.
Yeah, but you know, it's just
378
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,200
sometimes you gotta pinch
yourself.
379
00:14:58,210 --> 00:15:00,700
Like God, we just run this
podcast with these bunch of
380
00:15:00,710 --> 00:15:02,420
followers who actually love the
it's amazing.
381
00:15:02,430 --> 00:15:05,580
Anyway, we love you guys.
But with the with the whole
382
00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:08,840
election and stuff, I just
thought again, you're someone
383
00:15:08,850 --> 00:15:11,120
who's just, I think you
epitomise the average teacher.
384
00:15:11,270 --> 00:15:13,190
Not that interested.
See it for the first time.
385
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,140
You've been asking me a million
questions and I've said, hey,
386
00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:16,620
just wait a minute, we'll talk
about on the podcast.
387
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,960
So like first general reaction
is huge Labour win, but a bit
388
00:15:22,030 --> 00:15:24,520
people, a lot of people are
feeling a bit weird about it.
389
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:28,560
Yeah, because right, the the
system is mental to me.
390
00:15:28,570 --> 00:15:30,640
Yeah.
And I don't know if that's a
391
00:15:30,650 --> 00:15:32,500
normal opinion, you know, I
mean, I don't know if most
392
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:34,830
people are like, yeah, why do we
have this first past the post
393
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,340
like crazy?
It seems crazy to me that
394
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:39,380
basically.
So I looked out earlier, right
395
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:43,050
was probably slightly wrong.
There's a few seats left, but
396
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:48,060
Labour got 30, fourish percent
of the vote, just over a third,
397
00:15:48,070 --> 00:15:51,740
right, 34% of the votes, but
they got 63% of the seats yeah.
398
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,900
And then the the polar opposite
that is Reform, who I can't
399
00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:59,050
believe how much they got.
They got 14% of the votes but
400
00:15:59,060 --> 00:16:02,100
got nought .6% of the seats.
And that to me, I was like, oh,
401
00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:04,430
that's just mental.
And obviously the other between
402
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,270
Conservatives had, you know,
their version of that weird
403
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,340
ratio, but I just don't, I just
don't get it.
404
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:12,920
Like, why, why do we do that?
Why do we not have proportional
405
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:15,680
represent representation?
Because in as much as I don't
406
00:16:15,690 --> 00:16:18,520
like reform and I'm and this
system is benefiting me this
407
00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:22,030
time hasn't done in the past.
I do actually think it's mental
408
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,720
that 4 million people who vote
for reform, basically none of
409
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:28,090
them, none of them counted 4
seats.
410
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,620
They got four seats.
Well, in the whole of Europe,
411
00:16:30,630 --> 00:16:35,030
right, it's us and Belarus, like
the Russian, like, you know,
412
00:16:35,070 --> 00:16:38,380
mate, we're the only two who do
this kind of first past the
413
00:16:38,390 --> 00:16:39,160
post.
Yeah.
414
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:40,360
And there's been this whole
thing.
415
00:16:40,450 --> 00:16:43,800
And the problem with first past
the post in terms of changing it
416
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:46,770
is the people who benefit from
it are usually the people in
417
00:16:46,780 --> 00:16:48,840
power.
So when it comes to changing it,
418
00:16:48,850 --> 00:16:52,110
right, the people in power are
like, I've benefited from it
419
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,740
because I'm in charge now, so
I'll only lose out from
420
00:16:54,750 --> 00:16:57,380
something, this system.
So every time it kind of comes
421
00:16:57,390 --> 00:17:00,170
round and there was a vote on
proportional representation when
422
00:17:00,180 --> 00:17:01,980
we were about 16, there was a
referendum.
423
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:03,720
Essentially.
It went out to the public and
424
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:07,359
the public rejected it and for a
number of reasons, but.
425
00:17:07,430 --> 00:17:11,839
Was that vote proportional?
Yeah, it was just, yes, I think
426
00:17:11,849 --> 00:17:13,089
so.
Anyway, I'll be interesting.
427
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,690
But again, because the main big
two parties really pushed and
428
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,609
campaigned to not change it.
Yeah.
429
00:17:18,619 --> 00:17:21,480
So when you hear everyone as an
MP, well, not everyone, but most
430
00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:24,190
people back then say no, no, no,
no, it's it's good because of
431
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,250
this, because of that, it does a
lot of things right.
432
00:17:26,260 --> 00:17:28,550
I completely agree with you.
It seems completely undemocratic
433
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,270
and weird, doesn't it, That
whatever you think about these
434
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,490
parties, if a party gets 4
million votes and only gets four
435
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,890
seats, that seemed, that does
seem.
436
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:37,510
Insane.
It's not representing the
437
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,790
people.
And if the parliament is to
438
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,620
represent the people, to me I'm
like, there's something wrong
439
00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:41,630
in.
That yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
440
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,740
And with first past the post, a
lot of the things people say is
441
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:46,220
like why it's good.
Yeah.
442
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:48,860
Is it.
It does suppress the extremes
443
00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:51,840
you normally because it's really
hard to get into power.
444
00:17:51,910 --> 00:17:55,160
So to get into power you've got
to have lots of spread out
445
00:17:55,530 --> 00:17:57,720
support.
So for example, one of the
446
00:17:57,730 --> 00:18:01,150
biggest things is comparison I'm
seeing at the minute between
447
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Corbyn and 2017 and Starmer in
2024.
448
00:18:03,930 --> 00:18:07,640
Right.
So Corbyn in 2017 got more votes
449
00:18:07,690 --> 00:18:09,460
than Starmer did this time
around.
450
00:18:09,530 --> 00:18:11,400
Corbyn lost, didn't get a
majority.
451
00:18:11,410 --> 00:18:13,960
It was a Conservative,
Conservative want formed
452
00:18:13,970 --> 00:18:15,620
government.
This time around, Labour have a
453
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:17,400
complete landslide, one of the
biggest victories ever.
454
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:21,560
And the reason why is because
Corbyn was winning loads of
455
00:18:21,570 --> 00:18:24,000
votes in places where he was
already in front.
456
00:18:24,090 --> 00:18:28,640
So let's say you know, this time
around when Labour won a seat,
457
00:18:28,770 --> 00:18:31,440
right, they were winning with
like 35% of the vote.
458
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:35,080
Tories maybe had 30% of the
vote, Reform maybe had 20% of
459
00:18:35,090 --> 00:18:37,000
the vote.
And, and then you would think,
460
00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:40,560
OK, well, actually the Labour
had just enough votes to win
461
00:18:40,570 --> 00:18:42,380
that seat.
And then in the next
462
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:45,190
constituency, they may be one
with 35%.
463
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,210
Tories had 25% before my 25%
sure.
464
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:50,770
Whereas previously across those
two seats, it might have been
465
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:54,710
Labour had 70% and 0 in the
other seat, same amount of
466
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,300
votes.
But in in Corbyn situation, he
467
00:18:57,310 --> 00:19:00,510
wins 1 CR 2 in care situation in
two year 2.
468
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,070
So basically when the when the
election happens, you have loads
469
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,180
of mini elections in your local
area.
470
00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:09,350
And if, if, if, you know, Reform
got 20% in every single seat,
471
00:19:09,740 --> 00:19:11,870
right?
They've got 20% of the vote and
472
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,940
one absolutely no.
Seat, which is basically what
473
00:19:13,950 --> 00:19:15,350
happened.
You know, they got four seats,
474
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,500
which is, and the other way to
look at it is right, in only
475
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:22,080
four areas of the country did
reform win more votes than
476
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:23,900
everyone else.
Yeah, that's the other way of
477
00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:25,220
looking at it.
And it's like, OK, well, that
478
00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:28,240
means that in every area you
pick, people would have rather
479
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,310
have had a Lib Dem candidate
than a Reform candidate.
480
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,660
People would rather have had a
Labour candidate than a Reform
481
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:34,230
candidate.
People have had a Conservative
482
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,460
candidate than a Reform
candidate.
483
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:37,540
So there there is ways of
looking at it where you're like,
484
00:19:37,550 --> 00:19:38,940
well, like, OK, kind of makes
sense.
485
00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:40,850
It's still democratic.
Yeah, there's lots of many
486
00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:41,960
votes.
Yeah, there's lots of many
487
00:19:41,970 --> 00:19:42,940
votes.
And you gotta look at it as
488
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:45,310
constituency.
Whereas if it was PR just vote,
489
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,350
right, you wouldn't be voting
for your local past anymore.
490
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,490
You just be voting for a
percentage of representation in
491
00:19:50,500 --> 00:19:51,710
government.
Yeah, so sure.
492
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,010
And I think if that happened,
right, I think it's impossible
493
00:19:55,020 --> 00:19:57,130
to kind of translate these votes
because of so much tactical
494
00:19:57,140 --> 00:20:01,030
voting this time.
So many people voted to to get
495
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,530
out the Conservatives.
So for example, if it was
496
00:20:04,540 --> 00:20:07,540
proportional representation and
I simply was voting for the
497
00:20:07,550 --> 00:20:11,430
party who is aligned with the
most, I'm not even sure I would
498
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,610
have voted for Labour.
Yeah.
499
00:20:12,660 --> 00:20:15,140
So if I look at all of the
policies on a piece of paper and
500
00:20:15,150 --> 00:20:17,090
I think who do I actually kind
of get behind?
501
00:20:17,170 --> 00:20:19,320
I quite like some of the stuff
the Greens are saying.
502
00:20:19,390 --> 00:20:21,030
I think some of the stuff, I
don't think all of it is
503
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,390
amazing.
I think lots of it is really
504
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,080
good.
Yeah.
505
00:20:23,090 --> 00:20:25,170
I quite like some of the things
that Lib Dems are saying about
506
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:27,400
social care.
I quite like some of the things
507
00:20:27,410 --> 00:20:30,240
Labour were saying in terms of
being fiscally responsible, but
508
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:32,920
doing it with like a good heart
and working hard and care,
509
00:20:32,930 --> 00:20:34,480
saying we need to go back to
public service.
510
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:36,220
I I like that serving the
people.
511
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:39,400
I like that kind of, you know,
sentiment wherever he does.
512
00:20:39,410 --> 00:20:41,000
It.
I'm not worried about leaving.
513
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:42,740
That was nice.
What do you mean?
514
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:44,760
Yeah, when I'm out.
That was nice.
515
00:20:44,770 --> 00:20:45,620
I.
Know what?
516
00:20:45,630 --> 00:20:48,090
I listened to Rishi with say his
speech, right?
517
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:49,480
Yeah.
And I was like, why didn't you
518
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:50,970
talk like that for the last two
years?
519
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,710
I know he he was so like I was
like, well, there is we could be
520
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,640
like this instead.
You could just be lovely like
521
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:58,250
that and and.
Really, you know what they they
522
00:20:58,260 --> 00:21:00,010
left with their tails between
their legs didn't?
523
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:02,050
I saw quite a lot of the
speeches from some of the
524
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,170
cabinet members that lost.
There.
525
00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:04,320
But it was nice to see, wasn't
it?
526
00:21:04,330 --> 00:21:05,930
That they were accepting.
They were they were very
527
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:07,660
respectful.
I found I didn't hear anyone
528
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,690
that was like, ohh, yeah, it's
only cause of this and this they
529
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:10,990
all seem quite respectful.
Maybe that was the.
530
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,300
Other because they could have
said, well, without reform we'd
531
00:21:13,310 --> 00:21:14,390
be winning.
Yeah, exactly.
532
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,510
But they just said no, sorry.
Yeah, we weren't good.
533
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,690
Enough time to prepare.
They knew.
534
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,960
They knew they had time to
prepare that they, you know,
535
00:21:19,970 --> 00:21:23,360
they could think it through.
But yeah, just just mad.
536
00:21:23,370 --> 00:21:26,350
So yeah, anyway, back to the
proportional representation.
537
00:21:26,410 --> 00:21:28,090
I get the.
I do get the pros and cons, but
538
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:29,280
I don't know.
I still know which one I think
539
00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:31,230
is better.
Though, Well, the other pro for
540
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:36,650
the system right now, OK, it's a
pro in one way, 35% of the vote.
541
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,940
But Labour now in government,
Genuinely, if Keir Starmer has
542
00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:43,530
something he wants to get done,
it will almost certainly get
543
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:44,250
through.
Yeah.
544
00:21:44,260 --> 00:21:47,270
Whereas when the majority is
much lower and closer to half,
545
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,410
there might be a chunk of people
in the Labour Party who rebel.
546
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:52,830
Do you know we've seen for the
Tories for the last however long
547
00:21:52,950 --> 00:21:55,490
a chunk of the Tories were like,
no, no, that's not acceptable in
548
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:57,600
go further hard right.
This is not, no, this is not
549
00:21:57,610 --> 00:21:59,720
good for immigration.
This is not good for Brexit
550
00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:01,660
generally couldn't get Brexit
deal through for like 4 years.
551
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:03,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because the Conservatives were
552
00:22:03,370 --> 00:22:05,840
like, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
And then that took you past
553
00:22:05,850 --> 00:22:07,720
halfway and you couldn't pass
any laws, everything.
554
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:11,220
That's whereas now Labour have
411 or 12, wherever it ends up
555
00:22:11,230 --> 00:22:14,980
on, they only need 326 yes votes
to ever put a law through.
556
00:22:14,990 --> 00:22:17,240
Yeah.
So even if there's a sizeable
557
00:22:17,250 --> 00:22:19,860
majority, like 40 MP's saying
like, no, no, I can't stand for
558
00:22:19,870 --> 00:22:21,900
this, they'll still be able to
get stuff through.
559
00:22:21,910 --> 00:22:25,040
So my, my point right now, I
completely understand people
560
00:22:25,050 --> 00:22:28,670
being like, no, I do bloody I
vote for Labour, but you know,
561
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,310
they've moved much further away
from what I believe in and I'm
562
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,970
only doing it to get rid of the
Tories and stuff.
563
00:22:32,980 --> 00:22:35,290
I completely sympathise with
that and I get it completely and
564
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:38,800
I probably agree with you.
But now Labour are in, we've got
565
00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:40,410
we've got to judge them on what
they do.
566
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:42,030
Like give them a chance to do
something.
567
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,830
If it's if it's the same old and
they do nothing.
568
00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:45,850
Next time I'll vote differently.
I'm with you.
569
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:49,110
But this vote was all about
getting the Tories out and
570
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,360
goodness me it bloody.
Well, they really got them out.
571
00:22:51,370 --> 00:22:53,730
Yeah, there's one seat that I'm
very pleased about.
572
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,060
There's one little there's one
little guy that will be there in
573
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:58,640
Parliament and I'll be thinking,
ohh, Pat, go on.
574
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:59,880
Ohh, Jess up.
Ohh.
575
00:22:59,890 --> 00:23:02,510
Yeah, Jerry, he won his was N
Easington or whatever it is.
576
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Yeah, he won.
He won his seat there.
577
00:23:05,490 --> 00:23:07,810
Yeah, yeah, very comfortably.
And I was quite pleased about
578
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,880
that.
Again, is the is the is the
579
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:13,120
power of, you know, an incumbent
MP who actually does stuff with
580
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:14,460
the local community.
He's very popular.
581
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:17,380
In the community, I know there's
a Tory politician very close to
582
00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:19,740
like next door to our
constituency who everyone
583
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:21,780
thought would lose because
they're sentiment of the country
584
00:23:21,790 --> 00:23:24,880
is, you know, Labour out.
But he's been MP in in that
585
00:23:24,890 --> 00:23:28,910
place for like 30-40 years.
He's done loads, he's built up
586
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,910
loads of community.
Like, you know, he's done stuff
587
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,710
for people.
He wants to reopen the airport.
588
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:36,330
So when he won, I was like, OK.
You know, it makes sense.
589
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:39,990
We we focus on the big Tory
names all the time.
590
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,470
We think of Tory and I think of
Jacob Rees-mogg is Trustpilot
591
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,210
brought this like, ohh, I hate
them.
592
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:49,770
But you know what there are,
there are bound to be hundreds
593
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:53,030
of Tory MP's who really, really,
really just wanted to do a good
594
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,820
job.
And like you said, we got the
595
00:23:54,830 --> 00:23:56,370
people that will just do a good
job as well.
596
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:58,140
So, you know, let's not take
that away.
597
00:23:58,150 --> 00:23:59,630
From you, and that's exactly
right.
598
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,530
And it's not automatically bad.
Some of them reflected, I saw a
599
00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:05,310
few random speeches come up on
BBC like of Tory people I've
600
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,030
never heard of but you know,
clearly lost their seats or
601
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,240
whatever in other places.
And they were just saying things
602
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:12,590
like, it's such a shame that my
party has spent the last,
603
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,750
however, however long, just
being self-serving interests and
604
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,470
all this stuff.
And it's like, and it's not what
605
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,600
this is supposed to be about.
It's not what this job is about.
606
00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:21,950
They've not been doing their job
properly.
607
00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:23,790
And now I've lost that on my
seat because my party is not
608
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,580
doing anything.
Yeah.
609
00:24:24,590 --> 00:24:26,940
And they were really, really
like condemning it.
610
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:27,810
And I thought it was.
Good.
611
00:24:27,850 --> 00:24:30,840
Yeah.
And that's where I've matured
612
00:24:30,850 --> 00:24:31,880
slightly.
I still don't like the
613
00:24:31,890 --> 00:24:33,760
Conservatives.
I still wouldn't vote for them,
614
00:24:33,810 --> 00:24:35,810
especially in the current system
when they're rife with these
615
00:24:35,820 --> 00:24:38,320
people who, like you, spoke
about the fact Jacob Rees-mogg
616
00:24:38,330 --> 00:24:40,680
can be a politician and be put
in a position of power and a
617
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:42,320
cabinet.
I'm not cool.
618
00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:44,260
No go.
I'm never voting for that.
619
00:24:44,330 --> 00:24:46,580
But I do get it, like, and I
said it a million times, you
620
00:24:46,590 --> 00:24:49,500
know, people like Rory Stewart
when he does his podcast, he was
621
00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:51,000
a Conservative MP.
Hmm.
622
00:24:51,050 --> 00:24:54,470
When you hear him speak about
things now, it's like, I kind of
623
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,690
get it.
I kind of get what you mean.
624
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:57,940
I don't hate you, you know, I
don't just hate you just because
625
00:24:57,950 --> 00:24:59,650
you're a Tory.
I kind of understand your aims.
626
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:03,610
And, and he hates Boris Johnson
and he hates Liz Truss, like I
627
00:25:03,620 --> 00:25:04,870
hate them.
So then we've got some common
628
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,870
ground and I'm like, OK, well,
you know, there is a different
629
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,630
way of doing stuff as well.
But it's really interesting, you
630
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,310
know, in general, in general, in
general election in general,
631
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,680
general.
It was for me when I summed up
632
00:25:18,690 --> 00:25:20,940
with was relief, that was, it
was relief.
633
00:25:20,950 --> 00:25:25,060
I wasn't, I wasn't excited.
I'm not, I'm not enamoured by
634
00:25:25,070 --> 00:25:28,700
Labour, no, but I'm relieved
beyond belief.
635
00:25:28,790 --> 00:25:31,400
If the Tories have got in after
what's happened in the last five
636
00:25:31,410 --> 00:25:33,920
years, I, I, honestly, it would
be the end game.
637
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:35,490
I'd be OK.
There's not, there's nothing
638
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,940
that can happen anymore.
If if there, if the country
639
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:40,040
looked at them and thought,
yeah, carry on, yeah, cool.
640
00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:42,060
But that's the end of this
democracy as we know.
641
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:42,670
It.
Yeah, No, I agree.
642
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,780
I agree.
There's one thing I want to talk
643
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:46,030
before we move on with this
because you might, you might be
644
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,720
able to enlighten me.
But it's the whole, right?
645
00:25:47,770 --> 00:25:50,650
So I think the form, yeah, came
in clutch.
646
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,870
What do you mean?
I, I, I looked at like when I
647
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,010
was last night, as all the, you
know, the site was popping up
648
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:57,850
and I kept looking at the kind
of vote share and, and it would
649
00:25:57,860 --> 00:26:02,430
be things like Labour 14,000
votes, Conservatives, 10,000
650
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,890
votes, Reform 5000 votes.
And I was looking at that.
651
00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:08,110
And some of them were like
basically the Conservative plus
652
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,810
reform in a lot of areas, if you
add them together was
653
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:13,510
significantly higher than the
Labour win, right?
654
00:26:13,580 --> 00:26:15,970
And I was like, you know what,
even if half of those reform
655
00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:20,220
votes were just Tories that are
just more quite right wing, and
656
00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:22,030
then, you know, they've just
shifted to Reform and half of
657
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,150
them were just whatever, just, I
don't know, people doing
658
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,120
whatever, you know, just being
what's the word I'm looking for?
659
00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:29,260
Just doing it in protest,
protest, protest vote.
660
00:26:29,930 --> 00:26:32,330
Even if half of them I was like
they would still if reform
661
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,540
didn't exist and half the people
voted for conservatives which
662
00:26:34,550 --> 00:26:36,600
would have been the next most
right party, yeah sure.
663
00:26:36,670 --> 00:26:38,720
Then they would have won so many
more seats.
664
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:44,460
So the way I see it is Reform
absolutely obliterated the
665
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:47,760
Conservative Party because it
just split the vote everywhere.
666
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,880
Completely.
And and that that is what Reform
667
00:26:49,890 --> 00:26:51,490
are running on.
They were running on that.
668
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:55,500
They they literally ran on we we
need to destroy the Conservative
669
00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:56,910
Party.
And I said, I think I said on
670
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,900
the podcast, I remember I said
to you in general, Farage's plan
671
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,730
is absolutely not.
That's the Reform plan.
672
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:04,610
The Reform plan was to destroy
the Tories so much.
673
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:08,460
And even though Reform have four
MP's now, they have an amazing
674
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:09,470
amount of power.
Yeah.
675
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,020
Because what they, they have
basically the Tories bent over a
676
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:15,710
barrel because the the Tories
now have to make a decision, OK,
677
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,130
they need to win back those
votes.
678
00:27:17,140 --> 00:27:19,290
The Tories, there's two ways you
can do this.
679
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,790
They can merge with Reform, move
to the right, become a right
680
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,910
leaning party.
That seems to be what people are
681
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,700
scared of.
People seem to be scared of that
682
00:27:27,710 --> 00:27:29,550
because, like you, they'll say,
well, OK, we'll add the
683
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,150
Conservative and the Reform vote
together.
684
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:32,880
Oh my God, they're gonna win all
these seats.
685
00:27:33,010 --> 00:27:35,940
I would be a bit less.
It's less obvious than that to
686
00:27:35,950 --> 00:27:37,720
me.
There are a lot of people who
687
00:27:37,730 --> 00:27:40,580
voted Conservative again this
time round, who were more
688
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:44,060
moderate, who absolutely chose
not to vote for Reform because
689
00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:47,360
they think Reform are
incredibly, like, crazy insane.
690
00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:49,470
And I think far too far right
don't make any sense.
691
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,520
They're not credible.
They say things which they
692
00:27:51,530 --> 00:27:54,460
literally know don't make sense.
They're going to cut taxes and
693
00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:56,750
cut the waiting list for the NHS
without borrowing money.
694
00:27:56,790 --> 00:27:59,740
It literally doesn't make sense.
Like it's not actually costed.
695
00:27:59,830 --> 00:28:01,380
It's not a thing that can
happen.
696
00:28:01,390 --> 00:28:03,720
Yeah, Farage said that himself.
It was just an idea.
697
00:28:03,730 --> 00:28:05,990
It's just what we want to do.
Like he knows he's not gonna get
698
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,770
in power.
Yeah.
699
00:28:06,780 --> 00:28:08,590
So what I would say if that
happens, I think there'll be a
700
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,970
lot of Tory voters who voted
Tory this time round who won't
701
00:28:11,980 --> 00:28:14,190
vote for a joined party.
So it won't be as simple as just
702
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,850
adding up those votes.
I don't think if, if Labour
703
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:18,910
start delivering in the next
five years, that's the other way
704
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,690
that we can stop this.
So if, if Labour actually start
705
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,670
to do stuff that people can
tangibly hold on to it and say
706
00:28:24,810 --> 00:28:27,590
politics has done this for me.
I said this a million times.
707
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:30,070
I can't think of my adult life,
something I can point to and
708
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,440
hold and go, wow, politics did
this.
709
00:28:32,570 --> 00:28:35,060
I can think of my childhood of
sure, start centres opening.
710
00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:37,600
Wow, that's amazing.
I could think of the the funding
711
00:28:37,610 --> 00:28:40,080
that schools got.
I can think of Blair pushing
712
00:28:40,270 --> 00:28:42,460
same day or next day GP
appointments.
713
00:28:42,530 --> 00:28:44,180
Cool.
That's a tangible thing that I
714
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:47,640
can see the NHS waiting lists
come down, you know, peace in
715
00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:49,040
Northern Ireland, all that kind
of thing.
716
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,330
What what Starmer has to do in
the next five years is tangibly
717
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:56,070
improve people's lives,
something he has to be honestly,
718
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,250
honestly, he has to just do
something where people can say,
719
00:28:59,260 --> 00:29:01,880
point to it and say my life is
better because Keir Starmer's
720
00:29:01,890 --> 00:29:03,310
government did this thing.
Yeah, yeah.
721
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,780
If that doesn't happen, if he's
just beige like people are
722
00:29:05,790 --> 00:29:09,240
worried about is going to happen
the next time around, they'll be
723
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:11,330
squeezed.
And you've seen the the swing
724
00:29:11,340 --> 00:29:13,540
Labour had this time.
Labour went from their worst
725
00:29:13,550 --> 00:29:15,310
result ever to one of their best
results ever.
726
00:29:15,580 --> 00:29:17,740
That it can happen again the
other way around like this.
727
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:19,630
There is nothing you can take
for granted anymore.
728
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,810
It used to be that if Labour had
this landslide at least two
729
00:29:22,820 --> 00:29:24,690
times, maybe three, because only
chips away.
730
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,160
Yeah, put with social media and
tactical voting and people
731
00:29:28,170 --> 00:29:31,130
knowing exactly what they need
to do to kick a government out.
732
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:32,640
Look what they've done to the
Tories, right?
733
00:29:32,650 --> 00:29:34,470
No.
Yeah, It it will happen again.
734
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,750
So.
So Labour have to deliver now.
735
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,630
And if they don't, I'll be the
first person stood.
736
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,740
They're saying it's your own
fault.
737
00:29:39,750 --> 00:29:41,090
You've got a majority, get stuff
done.
738
00:29:41,140 --> 00:29:43,220
Yeah, yeah, got a majority.
Five years to do it.
739
00:29:43,230 --> 00:29:44,970
Come on, come on.
You're absolutely right.
740
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:50,180
Reform in 2019 pulled out of a
lot of the Tory seats they were
741
00:29:50,190 --> 00:29:53,280
going for and didn't run.
So that vote wasn't split.
742
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:55,950
So all I'll say is, again, this
has been rumbling for a long
743
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,950
time.
It's not like suddenly there are
744
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,740
these people who, you know,
would have voted reform and
745
00:30:00,750 --> 00:30:02,960
populism.
Amazingly on the surge, it's
746
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:05,830
like, oh, it's gone up by 20%.
No, no, those people voted for
747
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,660
Boris Johnson, One, because
Boris Johnson was flattening
748
00:30:08,670 --> 00:30:11,320
with them and wanted to do
Brexit, and two, because reform
749
00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:14,680
didn't run in those seats.
So it's not like suddenly we've
750
00:30:14,690 --> 00:30:16,840
got this massive surge.
We've always, they've always
751
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:19,300
been those people there.
They just, they were
752
00:30:19,310 --> 00:30:20,960
disenfranchised with the Tories
right now.
753
00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:23,270
The Tories lost this election.
Labour.
754
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:27,460
What does scare me though, it's
like even still is considering
755
00:30:27,470 --> 00:30:29,810
how bad of a job the Tories have
done right in the last four
756
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:32,670
years, like they they couldn't
they couldn't be any worse,
757
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,740
right?
And still there are right wing
758
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:36,600
party.
And then you got the right of of
759
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:41,120
reform that they still total up
like 50% of the votes.
760
00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:44,620
And I'm like, God, this is this
is when the Tories have done the
761
00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:47,600
worst ever job ever and 50% of
the population still like, yeah,
762
00:30:47,610 --> 00:30:50,680
I think right wing is the way to
go with these parties that just.
763
00:30:50,870 --> 00:30:54,640
Well, there's a lot of people
have the opinion the Tory party
764
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,440
financially are not very right
wing.
765
00:30:57,450 --> 00:31:00,390
They're quite centre centrist,
highest tax burden ever.
766
00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:03,580
Yeah, you know, this idea
they're right on some things
767
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:05,740
like you might think immigration
policy around those like more
768
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:08,380
right wing socially, yeah, but
Fisk like fiscally in terms of
769
00:31:08,390 --> 00:31:11,090
economics, they've borrowed
loads because of COVID.
770
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,280
They put loads of money into
people's pockets and stuff.
771
00:31:13,290 --> 00:31:16,190
The tax burden is really high.
There's people who argue they're
772
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,780
not right wing enough, but you
know, you mean in terms of they
773
00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:20,920
they have this stigma.
If you've Victoria on the right
774
00:31:20,990 --> 00:31:24,180
and and what you tend to do is
you add, you'll add up Torian
775
00:31:24,190 --> 00:31:25,860
reform and get an idea of the
right.
776
00:31:25,950 --> 00:31:27,660
Yeah.
You add up Lib Dem, Green and
777
00:31:27,670 --> 00:31:29,080
Labour and get an idea of the
left.
778
00:31:29,090 --> 00:31:32,320
And one of the things that has
always happened is that the left
779
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:35,100
vote have been split three ways,
which has allowed the
780
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:37,960
Conservatives to walk in and
have these like, yeah, have left
781
00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:39,940
fewer votes, but seem to always
manage to get a majority.
782
00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:40,810
Yeah.
But one of them.
783
00:31:40,820 --> 00:31:41,780
Yeah.
And what's happened finally
784
00:31:41,790 --> 00:31:44,200
happened this time is the other
way round happened that that
785
00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:45,880
vote and the right has been
completely split down the
786
00:31:45,890 --> 00:31:47,360
middle.
And we've seen what happens when
787
00:31:47,370 --> 00:31:50,020
that when that comes around a
huge majority of Labour, who
788
00:31:50,090 --> 00:31:52,350
again, for a lot of people
aren't left wing enough.
789
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:54,880
That's why they wanted the Lib
Dems to be the 2nd party, to
790
00:31:54,890 --> 00:31:56,440
hold them to account.
Yeah, absolutely.
791
00:31:57,010 --> 00:31:59,090
I was gonna say just wanna shout
to the Greens because.
792
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:00,190
They got like 2 million.
Votes.
793
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,750
They absolutely smashed their
number.
794
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,680
Of votes like people are very
interested in them.
795
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,830
Yeah, and they've got, I think,
4 seats, 4 the same as Reform.
796
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,260
Which is the most I've ever had,
isn't it because.
797
00:32:08,270 --> 00:32:11,160
They don't have one seat.
So yeah, interesting.
798
00:32:11,170 --> 00:32:13,580
It's really interesting.
And I think what a lot of
799
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:17,080
teachers in particular listening
maybe are thinking is, OK, cool,
800
00:32:17,090 --> 00:32:18,940
I did that thing, I got the
Tories out.
801
00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:20,230
Now that's bloody.
See something?
802
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Different.
Yeah, I know.
803
00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:23,080
And I don't know about you.
From what I've seen from Bridget
804
00:32:23,090 --> 00:32:25,320
Phillipson, she did an interview
with Alastair Campbell.
805
00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:28,900
Interview.
Mr P Yeah, she says things that
806
00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:32,500
I'm like, OK, you sound serious.
You sound like you take this job
807
00:32:32,510 --> 00:32:33,980
seriously.
You don't sound Gillian Keegan,
808
00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:36,220
who demonised us every possible
turn.
809
00:32:36,290 --> 00:32:39,470
Yeah, she sounds like someone
who wants to listen to teachers.
810
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,980
Yeah, and he just wants to do a
good job.
811
00:32:42,070 --> 00:32:45,120
Like I felt with Gillian Keegan
sometimes she almost spoke like
812
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,370
a PR person.
Yeah, she almost spoke like just
813
00:32:47,380 --> 00:32:49,950
someone defending the fact it's
crap like that.
814
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,950
They weren't doing much.
She's like it was never, she
815
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,200
never really come out and said
we're gonna be OK.
816
00:32:54,350 --> 00:32:57,240
I you're the professional.
You're saying this, we're gonna
817
00:32:57,250 --> 00:32:59,440
try and do this for you.
It was new.
818
00:33:00,130 --> 00:33:02,540
Lots of schools are good now she
might.
819
00:33:02,590 --> 00:33:03,940
I'm sorry, I'm telling you it's
bad.
820
00:33:05,250 --> 00:33:06,730
I think it's good.
Yeah, yeah.
821
00:33:06,740 --> 00:33:08,190
It's like, no, who are you?
Sorry.
822
00:33:08,260 --> 00:33:10,800
Well, who is she exactly?
You know, washing gonna be doing
823
00:33:10,810 --> 00:33:11,660
now?
She might get a job as a
824
00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:13,670
teacher.
Well, she might need a job.
825
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,150
She needs a job and it's so
easy.
826
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,230
And you know which is crack.
She could, she could just come
827
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,710
and show us how it's done that
actually now that she is
828
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,510
jobless.
Jobless that maybe that's one
829
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,710
way judgement we could give a
jobless jobless.
830
00:33:25,380 --> 00:33:28,730
Right, let's Jingle again and
actually get to the end of the
831
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:31,870
episode.
Right.
832
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,140
We've had a busy few weeks.
Like this was a, this was an
833
00:33:34,150 --> 00:33:35,700
episode we wanted to do like two
or three weeks ago.
834
00:33:35,710 --> 00:33:37,330
You know when time six was at
the start?
835
00:33:37,670 --> 00:33:40,720
Yeah, I would have just.
Thought yeah, because as you've
836
00:33:40,730 --> 00:33:42,390
picked on this and you've got
this far.
837
00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:46,890
Top tips for yesterday Make sure
you tune in in the past.
838
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,140
Make sure you vote, vote for the
Conservative Party or it's
839
00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:52,350
already over.
So yeah, this was my top tip.
840
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,590
The end of the school year.
It's just going to be, you know,
841
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,770
just maybe a conversation now
because we've got about 3 weeks
842
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:00,530
left.
It seems like feels like a long
843
00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:02,900
time now.
So hopefully last few weeks.
844
00:34:02,910 --> 00:34:04,720
This is helpful for you guys.
And you know what, if you're
845
00:34:04,730 --> 00:34:07,270

haven't given us a.
848
00:34:14,270 --> 00:34:15,570
Review yet I think we have to
do.

858
00:34:38,670 --> 00:34:40,520
OK cool.
So top tips into the school
859
00:34:40,530 --> 00:34:41,580
year.
You don't know what these are.
860
00:34:41,590 --> 00:34:44,000
I put these together, put seven
of my favourite things at the
861
00:34:44,010 --> 00:34:44,980
end of the school year to help
me.
862
00:34:45,020 --> 00:34:47,900
Hmm.
I want you to kind of react to.
863
00:34:47,909 --> 00:34:49,840
Them I will.
And tell me how brilliant they
864
00:34:49,850 --> 00:34:50,219
are.
You didn't.
865
00:34:50,230 --> 00:34:51,600
Plan the Dome.
The Dome.
866
00:34:51,610 --> 00:34:54,239
If anyone could see our notes no
say a million times, I promise
867
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:58,300
you our notes on the screen,
genuinely 14 words.
868
00:34:58,350 --> 00:35:01,630
So that we wrote 14 seconds
before we started.
869
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,060
Recording Gillian Keegan chicken
on train.
870
00:35:04,870 --> 00:35:10,670
Stealing content Arid top.
Right, go on then.
871
00:35:10,740 --> 00:35:11,730
Phone.
They're on my phone.
872
00:35:11,740 --> 00:35:17,460
Right, the phone to my Dome.
OK, number one, top tip 4,
873
00:35:17,470 --> 00:35:20,620
summertime is vote Labour.
Jesus Christ.
874
00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:22,540
So is the past.
Is this going to be it's going
875
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:25,300
to be painful.
Number one, top time time.
876
00:35:25,700 --> 00:35:28,580
Oh my gosh.
This is where time lucky.
877
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:30,270
This is where we start the
podcast.
878
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,750
I've been having a breakdown.
This is where we did a serious
879
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,230
podcast.
We actually have an editor who
880
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:36,550
cut this.
Out like parenting?
881
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,300
How the rest of politics.
All the ones that are.
882
00:35:39,310 --> 00:35:41,790
Real ones, ones are in the
bedroom.
883
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,230
It's bloody hot in here as well.
Anyway, top tips to survive the
884
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,970
end of the school year #1
outdoor learning.
885
00:35:48,020 --> 00:35:50,430
Now I want to talk about outdoor
learning because I think there
886
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,450
are two types of outdoor
learning.
887
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,210
Number one, in general, don't
patronise, sorry, carry on.
888
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:57,510
Number one, in general, I just
think it feels good to click
889
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,940
outside when the sun is nice,
when it's not raining obviously.
890
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:06,080
But there are two dude, I want
you to turn everything into
891
00:36:06,090 --> 00:36:09,390
bloody labour anyway, two types
of outdoor learning and I wonder
892
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,200
what you do more of because
one's easier than the other
893
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,530
Labour the.
Oh my God, that's the one.
894
00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:16,910
Funny, I don't know if I can get
through this.
895
00:36:17,530 --> 00:36:21,920
I really don't stop first thing.
Not everyone's listening.
896
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:23,330
Ohh no no, not everyone's
watching.
897
00:36:23,620 --> 00:36:25,600
I hope they're listening.
No one's doing either.
898
00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:27,070
Bloody hours into two.
Minutes.
899
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,990
Come on, Dylan.
Ohh, you had such a good time.
900
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,810
Alistair Campbell.
You.
901
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:31,960
They're chewing a proper chat.
You can't even talk to me.
902
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,790
Shut up, honestly #1 outdoor
learning.
903
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,140
And we said.
That two types throughout the
904
00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:38,250
learning.
The first type is when you just
905
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:42,390
literally go outside and do what
you plan to do inside anyway.
906
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,930
So there's no different or so
you're grinning at me, this is
907
00:36:44,940 --> 00:36:47,410
winding me up.
The other type is when you
908
00:36:47,420 --> 00:36:50,770
actually physically plan from
scratch something to do outside.
909
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:54,120
I'm honestly gonna tell you
gonna stop recording now if you
910
00:36:54,130 --> 00:36:56,960
want going on OHH, because this
must be horrible to listen to.
911
00:36:56,970 --> 00:37:00,380
So Larry on actually give the
people what they've come for and
912
00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:02,510
which is actually to plan
something from scratch and go
913
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,180
outside and do it.
So for example, if you're doing
914
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:06,560
something to do with like
nature, you might from scratch.
915
00:37:06,570 --> 00:37:08,560
Like I'm gonna spend the whole
afternoon in the nature area
916
00:37:08,570 --> 00:37:10,240
outside.
We're gonna go and take pictures
917
00:37:10,250 --> 00:37:12,920
of bugs or sit and do art and
sketch the flowers and all that
918
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:14,870
kind of thing.
But my point here is you don't
919
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,360
have to do that.
Just just literally embrace the
920
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:18,720
fact you can go outside and do
your learning.
921
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,860
So for example, at any point in
the summer time we're reading
922
00:37:21,870 --> 00:37:23,620
our class book or something,
We'll just go and sit in the
923
00:37:23,630 --> 00:37:25,590
trade and read it.
Yeah, it it, it's exactly the
924
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,370
same as would have happened in
in the classroom, but we're just
925
00:37:28,380 --> 00:37:29,690
outside.
Can I tell you a story?
926
00:37:29,780 --> 00:37:31,730
Is it about like, about this,
about this promise?
927
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,550
I'm done with that one.
It's not funny anymore.
928
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,670
When I was an NQT, right?
I was so desperate to impress
929
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,880
observations and stuff like
that.
930
00:37:40,890 --> 00:37:45,610
One, one time in one of my maths
lessons would bring you back in
931
00:37:45,620 --> 00:37:47,840
the middle of my last lesson.
I was literally like Ricky
932
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:50,160
Gervais, like doing a look from
the office to the head teacher
933
00:37:50,170 --> 00:37:51,830
who I knew was over in the
corner watching me.
934
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,370
I was like, pick up your books,
kids.
935
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,290
Mid lesson we went outside back
door because it was sunny day.
936
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:59,500
Went and went and went and sat
on the field and like we're
937
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:02,410
doing our work and our books.
There was like outdoors, isn't
938
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:03,820
it?
At the end she was like, yeah,
939
00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:06,880
it was nice that you did that.
Could have just done it on the
940
00:38:06,890 --> 00:38:08,300
list though.
No, no act.
941
00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:10,250
There was no actual benefit to
you going outside for that, for
942
00:38:10,260 --> 00:38:12,010
this observation.
And I was clearly just trying to
943
00:38:12,020 --> 00:38:13,590
tick a box.
I went outdoors though, didn't
944
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,950
I?
And I but I didn't make any link
945
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,150
to it.
Like I literally just mid task.
946
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,060
Yeah, pick your pens and books
up.
947
00:38:19,070 --> 00:38:21,540
Went outside and did it there,
which I actually think is still
948
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:23,380
really nice.
But the point of observation,
949
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:25,200
yeah, trying to make a
difference.
950
00:38:25,210 --> 00:38:26,970
Yeah, but.
She was like, it's cool, it's
951
00:38:26,980 --> 00:38:27,980
fine.
Talk about Labour then
952
00:38:27,990 --> 00:38:29,120
completely undermine my first
point.
953
00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:30,680
It's absolutely fine, no
problem.
954
00:38:31,130 --> 00:38:33,140
It's not because I still think
it's nice, but.
955
00:38:33,370 --> 00:38:36,080
It's not, it's not gonna, it's
not gonna massively improve
956
00:38:36,090 --> 00:38:37,260
their.
Learning I was trying to take.
957
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:39,480
A yes.
It's it's literally, it's lovely
958
00:38:39,490 --> 00:38:41,100
outside.
Your kids like being outside.
959
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:42,840
Yeah, just do it.
Sometimes I was thinking the
960
00:38:42,850 --> 00:38:45,330
head would be like, ohh, wow,
that lesson was so improved.
961
00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:46,640
Like they got much more out of
it.
962
00:38:46,650 --> 00:38:48,930
You went outside and actually it
was just a nice environment.
963
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,010
This isn't a way to improve your
teaching.
964
00:38:51,140 --> 00:38:55,760
It simply it's hot and nice
outside, nice outside, enjoyed
965
00:38:55,770 --> 00:38:57,100
it.
But yeah, I did as much as
966
00:38:57,110 --> 00:38:58,430
possible.
So that's my number one thing,
967
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,540
outdoor learning.
And I like the idea of winding
968
00:39:01,550 --> 00:39:03,230
up the other classes, I think.
Pretty funny.
969
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,980
Because if you go outside in my
class you can you can honestly
970
00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:08,180
see like 7 classroom windows.
You just see kids at the window
971
00:39:08,190 --> 00:39:10,890
like me out, let me out and let
my class are out.
972
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:13,430
And I know the other teachers
doing what I do, but it's
973
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,460
nothing to do with us.
Is it nothing to do with us?
974
00:39:15,470 --> 00:39:18,560
They probably under award.
No, no, just that I wanted to go
975
00:39:18,570 --> 00:39:20,050
outside.
That's my number one thing,
976
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:21,440
outdoor learning.
How would you rate that out?
977
00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:22,730
Ten.
I went to rate every tip out of
978
00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:25,270
10.
Probably like 34% of the votes.
979
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,950
My God, I give it.
I'll give.
980
00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:30,250
My God.
I will give.
981
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:32,970
That please write in and tell me
how fed up you are this man do
982
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:35,300
you want.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to be
983
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:36,800
serious.
Podcast, can you take it more
984
00:39:36,810 --> 00:39:38,250
seriously?
Alistair Campbell, you wanna
985
00:39:38,260 --> 00:39:41,880
come and host this with me?
That's good, good tip.
986
00:39:41,890 --> 00:39:46,400
Cool.
I've heard better. #2 ohh #2
987
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:48,410
this is topical because it's
based on something happened this
988
00:39:48,420 --> 00:39:53,230
week and you spoke to me.
No real Oh my God no.
989
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:55,530
Go on something in school #2
beat the heat.
990
00:39:55,610 --> 00:39:57,870
Check you're especially for male
teachers.
991
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,070
But anyone check your dress
code.
992
00:40:00,130 --> 00:40:02,230
Actually check your dress code
and stay hydrated.
993
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,150
So that's two pronged.
Stay hydrated is obvious.
994
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,480
Just drink, keep drinking.
I do all the time where I'll go
995
00:40:06,490 --> 00:40:09,710
all morning and remember I need
to drink and then and then I'll
996
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:12,230
drink loads in the afternoon.
So drink as much possible.
997
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:14,530
But the one I want to talk
about, check the dress code.
998
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:16,530
Schools get incredibly hot in
the summer.
999
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:20,130
We sometimes up to 32 kids in a
room, no air conditioning,
1000
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:22,990
sweaty kids, sweaty teacher.
Disgusting.
1001
00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:26,710
Horrible.
Honestly, wearing shirt and tie
1002
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,420
and formal wear in that kind of
environment anyway is horrible,
1003
00:40:29,430 --> 00:40:32,550
never mind in the classroom.
So my big hint for people
1004
00:40:32,610 --> 00:40:35,340
literally just go away and
properly read your dress code
1005
00:40:35,350 --> 00:40:36,880
because sometimes you don't do
that.
1006
00:40:36,890 --> 00:40:39,020
Obviously, why would you?
But you make assumptions about
1007
00:40:39,030 --> 00:40:42,310
the dress code.
And for example, I wore at the
1008
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,560
start of this week, I want some
chinos and a tucked in polo
1009
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:48,200
shirt.
Unbelievably more cool.
1010
00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:51,460
Unbelievable as in, as in as in
literally both ways.
1011
00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:55,400
But I felt way more comfortable,
less hot, more mobile.
1012
00:40:55,490 --> 00:40:57,370
Yeah.
And it was completely within our
1013
00:40:57,380 --> 00:41:00,190
dress policy because the policy
is for men, a collar.
1014
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:02,450
A polo comes under that has a
collar.
1015
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:04,090
It's fine.
Whereas I think previously I've
1016
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,170
just been like, Oh my God, I got
roll up my sleeves and wearing a
1017
00:41:06,180 --> 00:41:07,270
horrible shirt.
I'm sweating.
1018
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,180
It's just you.
Didn't need your golf bag with
1019
00:41:09,190 --> 00:41:11,550
you though.
Like you're trying to make a
1020
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:12,630
point.
They look like I was in the
1021
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,990
first team, wasn't it?
But it was.
1022
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,790
But my point is, it was
comfortable.
1023
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,230
Yeah, well, within the rules.
Wasn't rubbing any one up the
1024
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,270
wrong way.
And if someone was annoyed, I
1025
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,280
honestly would have just pointed
to all of the female staff
1026
00:41:22,290 --> 00:41:25,600
wearing sandals and leggings and
been like, hey, I think it's OK
1027
00:41:25,610 --> 00:41:27,290
though, isn't it?
That polo shirt.
1028
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:29,930
Yeah, well, actually, someone
who obviously saw you, he did.
1029
00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:32,520
Your face lab it was.
Funny, because I am one of those
1030
00:41:32,530 --> 00:41:34,300
people.
I was like, I'm not gonna, I'm
1031
00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:36,410
not gonna contemplate wearing
those clothes because it's just
1032
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:38,330
not going to be in the policy.
It's not going to look smart.
1033
00:41:38,420 --> 00:41:41,070
I saw you and I was like ohh it
looks absolutely fine.
1034
00:41:41,150 --> 00:41:44,660
Why have I spent years sweating?
Yeah, but because.
1035
00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:47,260
And the other thing, like you
said, was it didn't look
1036
00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:49,100
scruffy.
I understand it's professional
1037
00:41:49,110 --> 00:41:50,560
job.
And some people might be like,
1038
00:41:50,570 --> 00:41:51,740
oh, yeah.
But you know, we do need to be
1039
00:41:51,750 --> 00:41:53,100
professional.
I think we need to move into
1040
00:41:53,110 --> 00:41:55,080
21st century.
But there's a way to still look
1041
00:41:55,090 --> 00:41:56,480
professional.
Like it was tucked in.
1042
00:41:56,490 --> 00:41:58,680
Yeah, I had a belt on.
I had smart shoes on it.
1043
00:41:58,690 --> 00:41:59,750
It wasn't a problem.
Yeah.
1044
00:41:59,790 --> 00:42:02,740
So beat the heat, check the
dress code, stay hydrated.
1045
00:42:02,810 --> 00:42:05,220
Open your window, your windows.
You know that.
1046
00:42:05,660 --> 00:42:07,160
That three out of 10.
Slightly condescending.
1047
00:42:07,170 --> 00:42:12,650
Only relevant for men.
Carry on, make sure you drink
1048
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:14,250
water.
Everybody ohh, that was part of
1049
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:19,770
it alright numbers three I find
incredibly overwhelming in time
1050
00:42:19,780 --> 00:42:22,730
6 is the sheer amount of jobs
that have to get done.
1051
00:42:22,860 --> 00:42:25,710
It seems to double and I always
forget it doubles because you've
1052
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,480
got reports to write some
potentially some schools have
1053
00:42:28,490 --> 00:42:33,170
you know, and end of year.
I'm not residential, but I guess
1054
00:42:33,180 --> 00:42:34,960
residential as well.
Apparently the end of year your
1055
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:37,020
parents even end of year
performances to get ready for
1056
00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:40,380
show all while still delivering
your teaching like that doesn't
1057
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:41,720
change.
You still got that full time job
1058
00:42:41,730 --> 00:42:43,480
of delivering the curriculum
assessment, but there's lots of
1059
00:42:43,490 --> 00:42:45,120
other stuff going on yeah.
You need to upload your teach
1060
00:42:45,130 --> 00:42:46,460
data as well.
You need to assess your kids
1061
00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:49,340
formally through data.
You need to obsess it obsessed
1062
00:42:49,350 --> 00:42:52,120
as well assess it as your
teacher assessments.
1063
00:42:52,190 --> 00:42:55,170
It's just loads and loads and
loads of little jobs and you
1064
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:57,670
might have Ahp's to like finish
off at the end of the year and
1065
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,600
see if they meet their targets
and get ready for next year
1066
00:42:59,670 --> 00:43:01,320
transition.
You need to meet your new class.
1067
00:43:01,330 --> 00:43:03,460
Have notes over from the.
Maybe even consider literally
1068
00:43:03,470 --> 00:43:04,860
moving classrooms.
Literally.
1069
00:43:05,270 --> 00:43:06,860
Start in September in a
different classroom, right?
1070
00:43:07,090 --> 00:43:10,140
So big thing for me, and I did
this with reports and I did it
1071
00:43:10,150 --> 00:43:12,820
in general with my jobs is I
just boxed stuff up because I
1072
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:15,080
can't do it otherwise.
So I write my jobs down on
1073
00:43:15,090 --> 00:43:16,960
paper.
I, and the reason I think this
1074
00:43:16,970 --> 00:43:18,910
is a good tip to give is because
I used to be someone who didn't
1075
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,700
do this.
I would not write anything down
1076
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:23,290
and I'd kind of rely on other
people to e-mail me and say,
1077
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:25,500
ohh, you done this thing.
And then I'd kind of just do it
1078
00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:28,110
like quickly then or try to and,
or put it to the back of my mind
1079
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,580
and then forget.
Whereas when I write things down
1080
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:33,130
now I can box things up.
I prioritise them.
1081
00:43:33,140 --> 00:43:34,830
I say why?
Like clearly this has to be done
1082
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,620
this week.
But this thing, honestly, I've
1083
00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:38,580
just pushed that back and I've
said this a million times and
1084
00:43:38,590 --> 00:43:40,950
general tips, but I think it's
really powerful in Time 6.
1085
00:43:41,090 --> 00:43:44,030
And what was really, really,
really useful for me of reports
1086
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,290
was I would sit down and I'd
break it down into the subjects.
1087
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,540
And then in the subjects I'd
write down the children's names
1088
00:43:49,550 --> 00:43:52,120
that I've got to do.
And for my head, it worked for
1089
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:54,790
me to literally put a box around
four of them and treat that as
1090
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,740
one job.
So I've got one job here, I've
1091
00:43:56,750 --> 00:43:59,430
got to these four and then Four
Seasons.
1092
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,900
I can just walk through this,
take me 20 minutes, and I'll
1093
00:44:01,910 --> 00:44:04,070
finish it because I've tricked
my brain into thinking that's
1094
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,670
the job.
Ohh, Actually, I could probably
1095
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,630
get this next job done.
Another box got four.
1096
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:09,750
And instead of it being this
thing where I've got to write
1097
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,430
150 reports, actually it was
I've gotta write 4 reports.
1098
00:44:13,500 --> 00:44:16,250
My brain could deal with that
and I'd end up writing 20 in one
1099
00:44:16,260 --> 00:44:16,700
year.
Yeah.
1100
00:44:16,710 --> 00:44:18,710
Whereas beforehand I'd be like,
oh gosh, I can't start that
1101
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:20,130
massive job because I know about
you.
1102
00:44:20,140 --> 00:44:23,420
I'm someone who I can't start a
job unless I feel like I'm going
1103
00:44:23,430 --> 00:44:24,950
to finish it.
As well, Yeah, or at least make
1104
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,950
a significant impact to it.
Yeah, with reports of striking.
1105
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,390
Do you box things up?
Do you write things now?
1106
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,580
How do you deal with the
amazing?
1107
00:44:30,590 --> 00:44:33,570
Like a never ending list?
As a teacher, I have to write
1108
00:44:33,580 --> 00:44:35,840
things.
I see for me, I get a really
1109
00:44:35,850 --> 00:44:37,910
good feeling when I do something
early, right?
1110
00:44:38,070 --> 00:44:40,060
It's everywhere.
So like if I know I'm gonna, if
1111
00:44:40,070 --> 00:44:43,210
I know I'm buying myself time in
the future, I almost see it as
1112
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:45,260
like, ohh, yeah, that that makes
me feel good.
1113
00:44:45,270 --> 00:44:47,940
If I do things like till the
deadline, I'm just like, it's
1114
00:44:47,950 --> 00:44:49,420
just, it just becomes another
annoying job.
1115
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:53,270
So I did my reports a whole term
early and I didn't feel too bad
1116
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,360
because everyone I wrote was
like, really, that's another bit
1117
00:44:55,370 --> 00:44:58,200
of my half term, next half term,
even though I'm literally using
1118
00:44:58,210 --> 00:45:00,540
my half term now to do it.
It felt good for some reason.
1119
00:45:00,550 --> 00:45:03,180
So I think just trying to be
proactive for me and being on
1120
00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:04,760
it, but definitely spreading
things out.
1121
00:45:04,770 --> 00:45:07,230
I wish I did that.
My big white marking long like
1122
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:10,310
independent long right marking.
I always leave it to the last
1123
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,930
minute and it's like ohh now
I've got 4 hours of marking to
1124
00:45:12,940 --> 00:45:16,310
do if I just did a book a day.
Funnily enough, I do that for
1125
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,070
marking as.
Well, I know you say every time,
1126
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,710
every time I go to market I
think of you marking like one or
1127
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:23,200
two a day and just before you go
home and then not having them
1128
00:45:23,210 --> 00:45:24,660
not.
Always, not always, but when
1129
00:45:24,670 --> 00:45:25,970
I'm, when I'm on top of it, I do
that.
1130
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:27,810
It's good advice.
There was a turning point with
1131
00:45:27,820 --> 00:45:29,260
that advice, and it was our head
of year.
1132
00:45:29,270 --> 00:45:31,750
Remember when we worked in the
same year group, our old head of
1133
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,010
year and our old school?
Yeah.
1134
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:36,330
And she gave us a book.
A book that was just A to do
1135
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:38,960
list ticket boxes.
I'd never written anything down
1136
00:45:38,970 --> 00:45:41,070
before then.
And that that genuinely
1137
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,830
transformed my like
organisation.
1138
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,690
I was the most, I'm not the most
organised person now, but I was
1139
00:45:46,700 --> 00:45:48,930
the most unorganised person in
the world before.
1140
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,770
At least now I can write things
down.
1141
00:45:50,860 --> 00:45:53,670
And sometimes I honestly get rid
of the paper and write it down
1142
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,310
again and make a new list
because like a new day.
1143
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,980
I'm like, well, I might do, I
might not, but.
1144
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,570
Everyone's got their version of
it they like.
1145
00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:01,120
For me, it's Microsoft Word.
You know me, every time I do
1146
00:46:01,130 --> 00:46:03,140
anything, I just.
Like this right now.
1147
00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:06,910
Other people post it notes.
Yeah, they'll win, aren't they?
1148
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,020
Yeah, or just a bit of scrap.
Paper and other people just hear
1149
00:46:09,030 --> 00:46:11,580
a job and they go, I don't know,
and then they live a normal
1150
00:46:11,590 --> 00:46:12,840
life.
That must be and they had like
1151
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:14,160
they keep a diary like normal.
People.
1152
00:46:14,170 --> 00:46:16,040
Yeah, yeah, I've seen my head of
year Lawrence.
1153
00:46:16,050 --> 00:46:17,800
She keeps a diary.
Not not by the way, either of
1154
00:46:17,810 --> 00:46:18,860
the Lawrence.
We have 1/3.
1155
00:46:18,870 --> 00:46:20,980
Lauren, third Lawrence, who's we
only know Lawrence.
1156
00:46:21,540 --> 00:46:24,730
Incredibly organised, up-to-date
diary and I'm like.
1157
00:46:24,810 --> 00:46:27,880
What are we doing tomorrow?
My diary.
1158
00:46:27,890 --> 00:46:30,130
Beginning of the year, actually.
We do go.
1159
00:46:30,380 --> 00:46:33,510
Yeah.
I just don't use it out then.
1160
00:46:35,110 --> 00:46:36,700
Seven with the workload.
Brilliant.
1161
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:41,250
Nice one number four big one.
Assume good intentions from
1162
00:46:41,260 --> 00:46:42,710
everyone at this point in the
year.
1163
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,040
Assume good in.
Stressful part of the year,
1164
00:46:45,050 --> 00:46:46,430
right?
Really stressful part of the
1165
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,130
year and it can be really easy
for you to kind of bite at
1166
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:53,950
someone and be like, Oh my Why
has she done that?
1167
00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:57,950
Did she needs that Perry Perry
chicken now on a fork in the
1168
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,930
bloody train next to me.
God's sake.
1169
00:46:59,940 --> 00:47:01,890
What's the fishy staff room?
It's hot.
1170
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:03,950
Yeah.
Get more tired than ever.
1171
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,420
People get aggy.
Don't take it to heart.
1172
00:47:06,540 --> 00:47:08,110
Absolutely.
This is simple as that.
1173
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,640
Basically.
Go straight down.
1174
00:47:11,070 --> 00:47:12,870
Wanna see 10 out of 10, do you
think?
1175
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,770
I think that's so important?
I think because I think it can
1176
00:47:14,780 --> 00:47:16,310
like destroy the ethos of the
school.
1177
00:47:16,380 --> 00:47:18,980
What if someone, what if someone
hasn't got good intentions?
1178
00:47:18,990 --> 00:47:20,970
Do you think it's important to
call them out or do you just
1179
00:47:20,980 --> 00:47:23,250
assume at this point for
honestly, hold an election, kick
1180
00:47:23,260 --> 00:47:26,330
him out, hold on, hold on
election, get rid of them.
1181
00:47:26,380 --> 00:47:28,650
No, I don't know.
I don't know.
1182
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:33,540
I just just have a bit of a bit.
Feel like you couldn't be less
1183
00:47:33,550 --> 00:47:37,080
bothered to be here right now?
Look, you know, I want to be
1184
00:47:37,150 --> 00:47:38,960
honest.
There's a street party going on
1185
00:47:38,970 --> 00:47:41,620
out there.
Everyone's got beer and flags.
1186
00:47:41,790 --> 00:47:43,180
I'm going to level with you
guys.
1187
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:46,100
We're going for a Curry later
and I know it's all that is
1188
00:47:46,110 --> 00:47:48,200
thinking about.
We mentioned Curry multiple
1189
00:47:48,210 --> 00:47:53,010
times.
OK, cool #5 big one in general,
1190
00:47:53,020 --> 00:47:55,760
but especially now.
And I've got an example of how
1191
00:47:55,770 --> 00:47:58,910
this worked for me.
Be transparent, be open, and be
1192
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,110
honest.
Do not be a martyr.
1193
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,110
There are so many teacher
martyrs out there.
1194
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,220
Yeah, OK, so many.
There was a point.
1195
00:48:05,230 --> 00:48:07,730
I'm going to tell you my point
right now which highlights this.
1196
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:13,870
I genuinely, after week one of
the time 6, felt overwhelmed at
1197
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:19,280
work because I felt like I had
so much to do in what felt like
1198
00:48:19,290 --> 00:48:22,940
so little time.
So the example I've got here and
1199
00:48:22,950 --> 00:48:26,300
there was a deadline at the end
of week two, and by that
1200
00:48:26,310 --> 00:48:29,340
deadline we had to have finished
all of our reports.
1201
00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:31,420
So that's the weekend before,
but you get a bit of leeway
1202
00:48:31,430 --> 00:48:33,300
obviously.
And during that week have
1203
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:37,260
proofread everyone else's
reports and made edits and stuff
1204
00:48:37,270 --> 00:48:39,540
to make sure spending was OK and
it made sense and all that kind
1205
00:48:39,550 --> 00:48:42,060
of stuff.
We had a Twilight staff meeting
1206
00:48:42,550 --> 00:48:45,320
on a Monday, so that's two hours
after school gone where that
1207
00:48:45,330 --> 00:48:46,900
time I could be doing
proofreading.
1208
00:48:47,170 --> 00:48:50,720
And we had assessments that week
which need to be marked and
1209
00:48:50,730 --> 00:48:52,920
uploaded.
Also by the end of that week,
1210
00:48:53,150 --> 00:48:56,060
huge amount of data, huge amount
of tests need to be marked by
1211
00:48:56,070 --> 00:48:57,770
me.
Data needs to be uploaded by me
1212
00:48:57,780 --> 00:49:01,460
or my teacher partner had to go
to a Twilight meeting and had to
1213
00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:03,500
proofread hundreds of reports.
Yeah.
1214
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:08,730
And what I did was instead of
what a lot of people I see do,
1215
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,640
which is just go, ohh, bloody
hell, I've got so much work to
1216
00:49:11,650 --> 00:49:12,780
do.
And then working till 10 every
1217
00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:15,790
night to get it done and then
moaning about it and not wanting
1218
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,870
to do it.
And instead of being rather
1219
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,090
just, I'll have a moan about it
and I'll become this martyr.
1220
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,740
If the answer is you just didn't
do it, that's.
1221
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:23,250
Not good.
No, it's not because it has to
1222
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:25,640
get done, it has to get done.
But what happened was just as
1223
00:49:25,650 --> 00:49:29,540
professionals, we sat down and I
said OK with the proof reading.
1224
00:49:29,630 --> 00:49:31,880
I can see like when the reports
are gonna go out.
1225
00:49:31,890 --> 00:49:34,660
Could we move that a week?
Could we shift that deadline a
1226
00:49:34,670 --> 00:49:35,800
week?
Because like you said, jobs
1227
00:49:35,810 --> 00:49:37,860
assume good intentions.
I don't think anyone put 3
1228
00:49:37,870 --> 00:49:39,820
deadlines in one week on purpose
to annoy us.
1229
00:49:39,870 --> 00:49:42,240
So I'm assuming good intentions.
I'm saying I don't think this is
1230
00:49:42,250 --> 00:49:43,530
on purpose, but that is crazy
for me.
1231
00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:45,120
This week.
Could we move that a week?
1232
00:49:45,130 --> 00:49:47,500
Because then this week I can
focus on assessments, next week
1233
00:49:47,510 --> 00:49:49,860
I can focus on proofreading.
Immediate yes.
1234
00:49:49,870 --> 00:49:52,780
No one, no one batted an either.
Oh God, yeah, that makes sense.
1235
00:49:52,830 --> 00:49:55,570
My line manager, my head of
year, Ohh, yeah, I'll go, I'll
1236
00:49:55,580 --> 00:49:58,000
go and talk to the head and talk
to the head was like, yeah, God,
1237
00:49:58,010 --> 00:49:59,330
yeah, that's.
Actually, that's what you get
1238
00:49:59,340 --> 00:50:00,630
when you got.
It was fixed.
1239
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:01,900
Exactly.
It was fixed immediately,
1240
00:50:01,910 --> 00:50:03,320
though.
It's a separate conversation.
1241
00:50:03,330 --> 00:50:06,120
If that doesn't work, you know,
if if you're a professional with
1242
00:50:06,130 --> 00:50:09,330
a good explanation of why you're
asking for something and it's
1243
00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:12,770
completely reasonable, like I
think this was most of the time
1244
00:50:12,780 --> 00:50:14,300
there will be something put in
place to fix it.
1245
00:50:14,310 --> 00:50:15,500
Yeah.
Hundred don't have to be a
1246
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:17,230
martyr.
Be open, be honest.
1247
00:50:17,310 --> 00:50:18,720
There are usually ways around it
that we can.
1248
00:50:18,730 --> 00:50:20,180
Be.
And if they say no, that's a
1249
00:50:20,190 --> 00:50:21,830
difference.
Don't be a sign that they're
1250
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,140
toxic.
And actually, definitely don't
1251
00:50:23,150 --> 00:50:25,450
be a martyr.
Yeah.
1252
00:50:25,460 --> 00:50:26,660
Exactly.
You want to rethink where you
1253
00:50:26,670 --> 00:50:28,030
are.
But yeah, that's good.
1254
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,720
That's really good advice.
I could put that there.
1255
00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:30,770
Give it a nine.
That's good.
1256
00:50:30,780 --> 00:50:32,820
That's solid.
Someone at home can order these.
1257
00:50:32,830 --> 00:50:34,960
Maybe at the end number six only
two left.
1258
00:50:34,970 --> 00:50:36,340
I didn't vote for number 4, so
good luck.
1259
00:50:36,350 --> 00:50:37,080
Brilliant.
Yeah.
1260
00:50:37,150 --> 00:50:38,810
Do you know we didn't?
OK.
1261
00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:44,420
Anyway, yeah, good one, yes.
Have things to look forward to
1262
00:50:44,430 --> 00:50:48,200
in your personal life.
That that for me, transforms my
1263
00:50:48,210 --> 00:50:50,550
mood entirely.
When I knew that we were going
1264
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,220
to centre parks in that half
term, honestly, that time all I
1265
00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:56,480
kept thinking about was, oh,
look, three more weeks to centre
1266
00:50:56,490 --> 00:50:58,280
Parks.
Ohh, look, two more weeks centre
1267
00:50:58,290 --> 00:50:59,510
parks.
It's going to be fun, isn't it?
1268
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,370
And I know I've got reports to
do, but Oh my God, I'm gonna go
1269
00:51:01,380 --> 00:51:02,660
to centre Parks.
Isn't that really cool?
1270
00:51:02,810 --> 00:51:05,590
And, you know, it slipped off
the waggon since Rory came, but
1271
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,720
every Tuesday to play football.
And people at work knew it.
1272
00:51:08,730 --> 00:51:11,060
And I realised people at work
knew it because I spoke about
1273
00:51:11,070 --> 00:51:13,100
it, because it was a fun part of
my week.
1274
00:51:13,110 --> 00:51:15,520
I've got football tonight.
I'd say to people go football
1275
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:17,890
tonight and trying that thing to
get me through the day.
1276
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:19,500
I agree.
Don't don't sacrifice that
1277
00:51:19,510 --> 00:51:21,110
because it can be really, really
tempting at the minute.
1278
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,160
But I've got your six
production.
1279
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:24,570
I've got I've got transition.
I've got end of school
1280
00:51:24,580 --> 00:51:26,230
performance.
I've I've got to do extra work
1281
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:27,330
tonight.
Ohh, no, I'm gonna have to
1282
00:51:27,340 --> 00:51:29,350
cancel that yoga.
I'm going to cancel meeting my
1283
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:30,770
friend.
Do not do that.
1284
00:51:30,780 --> 00:51:32,210
This is a job.
Sacred bit of.
1285
00:51:32,220 --> 00:51:35,310
Time, go and see your mate,
spend time with your family,
1286
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,090
cordon it off and if something,
if you're doing extra work and
1287
00:51:39,100 --> 00:51:42,980
it hits into that, it's sacred.
Don't let it be the person who
1288
00:51:42,990 --> 00:51:44,980
says no.
And then if someone turns around
1289
00:51:44,990 --> 00:51:47,480
and said, well, why didn't you
wait till 9:00 last night?
1290
00:51:47,530 --> 00:51:49,740
Firstly, insane.
And they probably won't.
1291
00:51:49,790 --> 00:51:51,810
So don't worry about it.
And if they do, again, it's a
1292
00:51:51,820 --> 00:51:54,120
separate conversation and, and
you know what you could do?
1293
00:51:54,130 --> 00:51:56,180
You could just say to them,
because I was doing something
1294
00:51:56,190 --> 00:51:58,060
different, because I'm a human
being with a life and this job
1295
00:51:58,070 --> 00:51:58,700
is my.
Life.
1296
00:51:58,750 --> 00:52:01,720
The happiest teachers that I've
ever known, The ones that are
1297
00:52:01,730 --> 00:52:04,040
chilled out, start a new term
feeling fresh and good are
1298
00:52:04,050 --> 00:52:06,780
always the ones that go away.
They're just bugger off over
1299
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:08,890
half term or whatever it is.
Even just the weekend, they're
1300
00:52:08,900 --> 00:52:10,650
going to see their mates, they
going to see their family, do
1301
00:52:10,660 --> 00:52:12,100
whatever they want to do.
It doesn't need to be spending
1302
00:52:12,110 --> 00:52:14,640
loads of money, it can just be
doing something you like doing.
1303
00:52:14,650 --> 00:52:17,570
It could be bingeing on Netflix.
Yeah, just whatever, but look
1304
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:19,920
forward to it.
I I find that if I don't have at
1305
00:52:19,930 --> 00:52:23,450
least one thing a week to just
look forward to, then I do.
1306
00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:24,980
I do.
Stress usually this podcast.
1307
00:52:24,990 --> 00:52:27,330
Yeah, absolutely.
But just being on that train and
1308
00:52:27,340 --> 00:52:30,800
like with no destination and
you're sat next to four people
1309
00:52:30,810 --> 00:52:33,610
with period chickens, that's
what it feels like sometimes in
1310
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:35,160
teaching, isn't it?
It's like, I've got anything to
1311
00:52:35,170 --> 00:52:37,790
look forward to it.
It really, really quickly just
1312
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,310
rots away at your mind.
Yeah, you have managed to almost
1313
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:41,660
ruin every single point with
your.
1314
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:43,270
I am trying so.
Hard.
1315
00:52:44,180 --> 00:52:46,040
I'm trying so hard.
OK.
1316
00:52:46,050 --> 00:52:49,990
Last one tip 7, Did you rate
that 10 by?
1317
00:52:51,250 --> 00:52:54,900
I'll give it like a 6.7.
Why did you choose 6.7?
1318
00:52:54,910 --> 00:52:57,620
I just think it's important.
Did something happen in the
1319
00:52:57,630 --> 00:53:00,660
election that 67 OK, I don't
trust you.
1320
00:53:00,670 --> 00:53:04,120
I think it did.
Last tip this.
1321
00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:05,560
I love the idea you're thinking
now.
1322
00:53:05,570 --> 00:53:07,380
Like genuine.
Yeah, because I'm really
1323
00:53:07,390 --> 00:53:12,930
thinking the labour gets 67% of
13 #7 big one for me, big one
1324
00:53:12,940 --> 00:53:14,220
that I would love everyone to
do.
1325
00:53:15,010 --> 00:53:19,300
Cordon off time in school to
enjoy with your class.
1326
00:53:19,350 --> 00:53:22,740
Simple, you know, not just
cordon off a bit of time where
1327
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:25,160
you know, you do just let them
have a bit of edge to play.
1328
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:28,060
You do just put a film on with.
Them my timetables full.
1329
00:53:28,970 --> 00:53:31,080
Tough this is this part of the
timetable.
1330
00:53:31,130 --> 00:53:33,180
Don't do something, don't do
something.
1331
00:53:33,230 --> 00:53:35,800
Instead of doing 5 tasks in your
geography lesson, do 3.
1332
00:53:35,970 --> 00:53:38,740
Genuinely do three and then
spend some time with your kids
1333
00:53:38,750 --> 00:53:41,000
that you have built a bond with
over a year.
1334
00:53:41,370 --> 00:53:44,260
They are going to just enjoy
themselves with you, OK?
1335
00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:46,760
It doesn't have to be the end
goal of they know.
1336
00:53:46,850 --> 00:53:49,760
Ohh, no, I didn't do the bit
where we found out that the
1337
00:53:49,770 --> 00:53:53,090
European bit was a It was a
temperate climate in Poland.
1338
00:53:53,940 --> 00:53:54,890
You know what?
Yeah.
1339
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:56,410
So what?
Because it ended the school
1340
00:53:56,420 --> 00:53:57,840
year.
You're gonna miss these kids
1341
00:53:57,850 --> 00:53:59,460
when they go out next year.
If you built that bomb with.
1342
00:53:59,470 --> 00:54:01,270
Them they're not gonna remember
that fact anyway.
1343
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,030
Yeah, exactly.
Not remember that, but all they
1344
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,390
will remember is being in
school, having a good time,
1345
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,460
enjoying themselves.
And that is where I'm just like,
1346
00:54:07,540 --> 00:54:11,050
I know I'm the biggest advocate
for school is for learning and
1347
00:54:11,060 --> 00:54:12,590
progress and all this kind of
stuff.
1348
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,770
It's also for enjoying life.
They're humans.
1349
00:54:16,820 --> 00:54:19,850
Give them something to enjoy and
spend some time with them and
1350
00:54:19,860 --> 00:54:21,710
get to know them.
You know them really well by
1351
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,280
now.
Just have a bit of fun with.
1352
00:54:23,290 --> 00:54:24,630
Them.
Yeah, simple psychology.
1353
00:54:24,700 --> 00:54:27,190
Millions of kids are.
If kids have a nice time at the
1354
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,480
end of the day, they want to
come into school the next day
1355
00:54:29,490 --> 00:54:31,180
because they had a good day.
You know, it's very.
1356
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:33,310
Easy.
I transitioned day this week, so
1357
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,740
I was gonna talk about that.
Yeah, with the children.
1358
00:54:36,970 --> 00:54:39,440
So I went in.
It was our day off technically,
1359
00:54:39,490 --> 00:54:40,870
but I like to go and meet the
class.
1360
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,440
You went in as well.
And it was with my partner,
1361
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:45,920
teacher Amy.
And she said I was thinking we
1362
00:54:45,930 --> 00:54:47,950
could split the class in half.
You take half them out so it's a
1363
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,420
bit smaller.
And then after like 10-15
1364
00:54:50,430 --> 00:54:52,400
minutes, just swap and you play
a little game with them.
1365
00:54:52,450 --> 00:54:54,390
And I was chatting to them and
one of them asked me a question
1366
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,030
and they said, are you a fun
teacher?
1367
00:54:57,620 --> 00:55:00,870
Now I, I know, again, I know for
a fact, like, I've got this
1368
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,230
reputation amongst the kids.
It's exciting for Mr. Price.
1369
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:06,290
Mr. Price is a fun teacher.
Mr. Price is.
1370
00:55:06,300 --> 00:55:08,390
Everyone knows Mr. Price has
been on TV.
1371
00:55:08,460 --> 00:55:09,970
Mr. Price has some YouTube
videos.
1372
00:55:09,980 --> 00:55:11,680
Isn't that cool?
And he's friends with Alistair
1373
00:55:11,690 --> 00:55:13,580
Campbell.
Yeah, they're all saying that.
1374
00:55:13,620 --> 00:55:17,370
But there's this kind of idea
that, oh, that's a cool thing.
1375
00:55:17,380 --> 00:55:19,710
And this child asked me.
They were, they were buzzing.
1376
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:20,770
It was.
So it was really nice.
1377
00:55:20,780 --> 00:55:22,490
They're really happy.
They're really excited to join
1378
00:55:22,500 --> 00:55:24,990
us next year.
And she put her hand up beaming
1379
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,510
like, are you fun?
And I was like, ohh, I need to
1380
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,790
get this right.
Yeah, I need to get this right.
1381
00:55:30,340 --> 00:55:32,840
So I said, get out my room right
now.
1382
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,090
No, I said to her.
Ah, great question.
1383
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:38,480
Now I think so.
I said to.
1384
00:55:38,490 --> 00:55:40,620
I think I am.
I think I'm really fun.
1385
00:55:40,700 --> 00:55:43,440
But do you know what?
There are two things that my
1386
00:55:43,450 --> 00:55:45,480
class need to do?
Yeah, there are two things my
1387
00:55:45,490 --> 00:55:47,970
class have to do.
And if they don't do the first
1388
00:55:47,980 --> 00:55:49,860
thing, we can't do the second
thing.
1389
00:55:49,910 --> 00:55:53,590
And you know what it was I said
to them, everyone in my class
1390
00:55:53,740 --> 00:55:57,490
has to try their hardest
everyday and do their best work
1391
00:55:57,540 --> 00:55:59,580
every single day.
That's the first thing you have
1392
00:55:59,590 --> 00:56:01,130
to do.
But do you know what will happen
1393
00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:03,550
if you do that?
The second thing, which is we'll
1394
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,850
have a really good time and
you're going to have a lot of
1395
00:56:05,860 --> 00:56:08,130
fun in school because we're
going to try our hardest, do our
1396
00:56:08,140 --> 00:56:10,230
best and we're going to enjoy.
Doing it, I like that you set it
1397
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:13,770
up as like a cumulative thing.
You have to do A to get B&B.
1398
00:56:13,780 --> 00:56:15,720
Is the bit you want.
Yeah, exactly that, exactly
1399
00:56:15,730 --> 00:56:18,690
that, because all of them.
And I said to them at the end,
1400
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:21,210
does that sound fair?
Does that sound good?
1401
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,800
Buzzing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1402
00:56:22,870 --> 00:56:24,770
Yeah, yeah, so good.
You've always been a fun
1403
00:56:24,780 --> 00:56:26,870
teacher, right?
Is that something you would have
1404
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,300
said in your second year of
teaching?
1405
00:56:29,650 --> 00:56:32,120
Um.
Being a new class.
1406
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,550
But you know what I think you
think I'm gonna say no, but I
1407
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,980
think I would really, I think I
would have, I think I've always
1408
00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:41,760
been, well, very quickly, I feel
like in my career I that, that
1409
00:56:41,770 --> 00:56:43,340
was my way to get through to
children.
1410
00:56:43,350 --> 00:56:45,160
And I knew that.
And I think, I think I've, I've
1411
00:56:45,170 --> 00:56:46,960
kind of always embedded that in
my class.
1412
00:56:47,010 --> 00:56:49,740
I think I wouldn't maybe be as
confident with it Now I'm like,
1413
00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:51,660
I know this formula works.
I'm going to do this, I'm going
1414
00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:54,160
to do that.
But I, I think for me that
1415
00:56:54,170 --> 00:56:55,760
works.
I've got another funny story and
1416
00:56:55,770 --> 00:56:57,840
maybe you can come back to this.
It's not necessarily funny, but
1417
00:56:57,850 --> 00:57:01,300
it's really interesting because
throughout my career, most
1418
00:57:01,310 --> 00:57:03,570
children and I've been in
awkward situations when this
1419
00:57:03,580 --> 00:57:04,720
happens.
I've just been really honest
1420
00:57:04,730 --> 00:57:06,920
with everyone is saying, and
everyone knows these teachers in
1421
00:57:06,930 --> 00:57:10,850
their school where a child might
come up to me and they were in
1422
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,030
the person's class who's next to
me last year or maybe has them
1423
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,610
for maths and I've got them for
English.
1424
00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:17,740
And they'll come up to me and
say, oh, you're my favourite
1425
00:57:17,750 --> 00:57:20,690
teacher, I love your lessons,
you're my favourite teacher.
1426
00:57:20,700 --> 00:57:23,630
Oh my God, you're so fun.
And I die inside because I know
1427
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,820
being fun in the children's eyes
absolutely doesn't necessarily
1428
00:57:26,830 --> 00:57:27,920
mean I'm a better teacher than
anyone.
1429
00:57:27,930 --> 00:57:30,230
No, no, it means that the
children, they just, they just
1430
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,320
have this bond with me where
they think I'm fine and they
1431
00:57:32,330 --> 00:57:34,590
love my lesson.
I'm never gonna apologise for
1432
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,360
that.
But I I get awkward because I
1433
00:57:36,370 --> 00:57:38,530
think I don't want the person
next to me, the fellow
1434
00:57:38,540 --> 00:57:40,990
professional, to think that
remotely reflects on their
1435
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:41,800
teacher.
Yeah, yeah.
1436
00:57:41,810 --> 00:57:45,430
And I had a really nice moment,
even though it was detrimental
1437
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,910
to me, had a really nice moment
a week or two ago where a child
1438
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,740
in my class was talking to me
and their set teacher was in the
1439
00:57:52,750 --> 00:57:55,720
room as well.
And they said to me, I can't
1440
00:57:55,730 --> 00:57:57,790
remember how we got into it, but
this child said to me, well, you
1441
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,530
know, you're a fun teacher,
aren't you?
1442
00:57:59,540 --> 00:58:02,170
It's quite mature boy, you're,
you're a fun teacher, aren't
1443
00:58:02,180 --> 00:58:04,930
you?
And it was almost said like,
1444
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,560
yeah, you're a fun, like it
might be quite a bad thing.
1445
00:58:07,570 --> 00:58:10,300
You're a fun teacher.
And then he, he must have
1446
00:58:10,310 --> 00:58:12,720
realised quickly, oh, no, I'm
not necessarily saying it's a
1447
00:58:12,730 --> 00:58:14,750
bad thing, but you are.
You're a fun teacher.
1448
00:58:14,910 --> 00:58:17,440
And then he looked at the set
teacher and he said, whereas
1449
00:58:17,450 --> 00:58:19,530
you're more strict.
And in my my heart sank and I
1450
00:58:19,540 --> 00:58:21,650
was like, oh God, this has
happened a million times before.
1451
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,300
Yeah, yeah, you're more strict.
It's awful.
1452
00:58:23,350 --> 00:58:24,680
But he then said you're more
strict.
1453
00:58:24,690 --> 00:58:27,920
So it means I get to learn more
with you to the set teacher.
1454
00:58:27,930 --> 00:58:28,540
Wow.
Yeah.
1455
00:58:28,550 --> 00:58:31,710
And, and, and honestly,
honestly, I'm being really
1456
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,050
honest because I think if my
first or second year that would
1457
00:58:34,060 --> 00:58:36,280
have killed me, that would have
absolutely killed me, I'd be
1458
00:58:36,290 --> 00:58:38,070
like, ohh, God, I'm I'm doing
the wrong thing.
1459
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,010
I wanted him to say it louder.
I was like, yeah, yes.
1460
00:58:42,020 --> 00:58:44,460
Because I know for a fact strict
teachers out there, yeah, I
1461
00:58:44,470 --> 00:58:46,570
probably listening to us going,
yeah, build a relationship, have
1462
00:58:46,580 --> 00:58:48,070
fun with your class.
And like, I can't do that.
1463
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,610
This is how I teach.
I'm strict.
1464
00:58:49,660 --> 00:58:51,120
Yeah.
Some of my favourite teachers at
1465
00:58:51,130 --> 00:58:53,200
school were strict.
It doesn't mean you're a bad
1466
00:58:53,210 --> 00:58:55,940
teacher if you're strict.
And I loved, I actually loved
1467
00:58:55,950 --> 00:58:58,070
that he said that because every
child is different.
1468
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,330
There are going to be some
children who prefer my style of
1469
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:01,610
teaching.
Yeah, there are gonna be some
1470
00:59:01,620 --> 00:59:03,930
children who?
Prefer just want to focus.
1471
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:05,810
Exactly that and they know they
can get through.
1472
00:59:05,850 --> 00:59:08,330
Maybe sometimes that child feels
like get through more work
1473
00:59:08,340 --> 00:59:10,200
because they're not as
distracted maybe by me talking
1474
00:59:10,210 --> 00:59:12,590
about something for 10 minutes.
And I just wanted to make that
1475
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,510
point to everyone listening.
You know, I talk about having
1476
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,710
fun with your class to to you
that might be having some quiet
1477
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:18,980
time in the class, but they read
their books.
1478
00:59:18,990 --> 00:59:21,690
I don't know what it is but but
I don't want anyone to think
1479
00:59:21,700 --> 00:59:24,240
that.
If you're not traditionally fun
1480
00:59:24,250 --> 00:59:27,460
teacher who traditionally the
kids absolutely adore and love,
1481
00:59:27,530 --> 00:59:29,250
it absolutely doesn't mean
you're a bad teacher.
1482
00:59:29,260 --> 00:59:30,990
Doesn't mean a bad teacher and
it doesn't mean the kids don't
1483
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,410
like you as much.
Complete example proves exactly
1484
00:59:33,420 --> 00:59:35,000
you can like someone for a
different reason.
1485
00:59:35,330 --> 00:59:38,760
Like liking someone is not tied
exclusively to how fun they.
1486
00:59:38,770 --> 00:59:43,260
Are and and our job genuinely is
not to be liked.
1487
00:59:43,670 --> 00:59:46,220
I think there's benefits to it
and I think my aim is to be
1488
00:59:46,230 --> 00:59:48,000
liked for many reasons talked
about.
1489
00:59:48,090 --> 00:59:49,940
It's a tool.
Being fun is at all.
1490
00:59:50,090 --> 00:59:52,160
It's funny because I think your
behaviour management has been
1491
00:59:52,170 --> 00:59:54,250
quite consistent.
I feel like journey has been
1492
00:59:54,260 --> 00:59:55,720
very different.
Your behaviour management has
1493
00:59:55,730 --> 00:59:57,650
been, you know, for anyone not
watching, it's just like a very
1494
00:59:57,660 --> 01:00:00,710
slow, slow linear line upwards.
You started quite strong.
1495
01:00:00,780 --> 01:00:02,590
My behaviour management been a
very different journey.
1496
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,310
I started right down there with
my top goal was I need these
1497
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:07,590
kids to like me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1498
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,890
And other things went out the
window to start and I've come up
1499
01:00:09,900 --> 01:00:11,920
the other end now.
I'd say I'm more strict than I
1500
01:00:11,930 --> 01:00:14,230
ever have been.
But it's funny because I gave a
1501
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,380
very, it shows how, you know,
experience has changed.
1502
01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:20,790
But I gave a very similar speech
to, to my new class as well.
1503
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,190
They didn't say are you fun?
But we were going over the rules
1504
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,430
and expectations of year.
And all this and I said, look
1505
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,030
guys, there are two versions of
me.
1506
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,890
This is what I said to them.
There are two versions of me and
1507
01:00:30,900 --> 01:00:33,600
I have been both of them with
classes in this school in year
1508
01:00:33,610 --> 01:00:37,430
six in the last couple of years.
Said version one is where I am
1509
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,150
extremely strict and, and I will
not have fun with you because
1510
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,370
the first priority is that I do
my job.
1511
01:00:44,380 --> 01:00:47,000
And remember guys, I'm here to
do a job, which is to make sure
1512
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:50,150
you guys get an education.
I said, so I have had classes
1513
01:00:50,260 --> 01:00:54,390
where if I if I'm a little bit
fun, they will take advantage of
1514
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,760
me and therefore other children
in the class don't learn.
1515
01:00:57,770 --> 01:01:00,720
So I can't do it.
And I've had classes and I said
1516
01:01:00,730 --> 01:01:03,780
like my class this year because
I had a lovely bunch, I said,
1517
01:01:03,790 --> 01:01:07,500
who are so respectful that I can
have fun with them and I can be
1518
01:01:07,510 --> 01:01:11,300
myself all the time because I
know that when we need to move
1519
01:01:11,310 --> 01:01:13,510
on and move on as that.
And I said, and so it's
1520
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,940
completely in your hands now,
which version of me you want.
1521
01:01:18,050 --> 01:01:21,060
I said, but I will, I will act
accordingly to what you do.
1522
01:01:21,070 --> 01:01:22,680
So your actions will impact my
teaching.
1523
01:01:22,750 --> 01:01:24,900
And I left it at that.
And they were really intently
1524
01:01:24,910 --> 01:01:27,040
listening at this point.
I thought you can immediately
1525
01:01:27,050 --> 01:01:28,700
tell with classes.
And I was like, I think they're
1526
01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:31,270
going to be a good class because
I just even the way they were
1527
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,080
soaking that in, I was like,
yeah, this is this is good.
1528
01:01:33,090 --> 01:01:34,860
It's a good start.
I would have said that.
1529
01:01:34,870 --> 01:01:36,730
I wouldn't have said that five
years ago.
1530
01:01:36,770 --> 01:01:39,580
Genuinely my behave manager.
Would have been the Joker the.
1531
01:01:39,590 --> 01:01:40,410
Funny guy?
Exactly.
1532
01:01:40,420 --> 01:01:43,170
Yeah, I think, I think that's
what people who don't work high
1533
01:01:43,180 --> 01:01:48,120
school, I think sometimes they
underestimate how much children
1534
01:01:48,130 --> 01:01:49,760
genuinely do get stuff like
that.
1535
01:01:49,850 --> 01:01:51,200
It's almost quite nuanced, isn't
it?
1536
01:01:51,210 --> 01:01:52,780
Like you might think, well,
they're just children just
1537
01:01:52,790 --> 01:01:55,260
acting a certain way.
You can see the cogs turning.
1538
01:01:55,270 --> 01:01:57,790
Even my year four children,
they're eight and nine years
1539
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,270
old.
Well, actually seven and eight
1540
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,720
now they're in year 3 coming up
to me.
1541
01:02:00,790 --> 01:02:03,110
And I knew I could say that to
them because that's really
1542
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:04,740
simple.
And do you know what teachers
1543
01:02:04,750 --> 01:02:07,220
are really good at is getting
across things very simply to
1544
01:02:07,230 --> 01:02:09,640
children.
And it was, it was honestly, in
1545
01:02:09,650 --> 01:02:11,640
terms of behaviour management,
it's diluted down to those two
1546
01:02:11,650 --> 01:02:13,960
things, right?
The number one thing that all
1547
01:02:13,970 --> 01:02:17,110
teachers is that the children
are learning, trying hard, doing
1548
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,900
their best, following the rules,
It's as simple as that.
1549
01:02:19,970 --> 01:02:21,340
And, and nothing could come
before that.
1550
01:02:21,350 --> 01:02:23,450
And what you do after that, I
think that's down to your
1551
01:02:23,460 --> 01:02:25,100
professional judgement and
that's your style.
1552
01:02:25,150 --> 01:02:27,380
And if everyone was the same, it
would be really boring, wouldn't
1553
01:02:27,390 --> 01:02:28,980
it?
So I don't want to change anyone
1554
01:02:28,990 --> 01:02:32,780
thinks, but we all agree, don't
mean that the number one goal is
1555
01:02:32,790 --> 01:02:34,620
children are making progress.
And if they're not, as a
1556
01:02:34,630 --> 01:02:35,810
teacher, you've got to be
malleable.
1557
01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:38,160
And I think what you've said
there is, is bang on.
1558
01:02:38,170 --> 01:02:40,680
If you want to be the fun guy,
the fun teacher.
1559
01:02:40,750 --> 01:02:44,360
And as a male teacher it I feel
like I can slot into that
1560
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,450
because the kids automatically
think that that ohh boy teacher.
1561
01:02:47,460 --> 01:02:48,940
Wow.
Yeah, don't get many of them.
1562
01:02:48,950 --> 01:02:52,180
Easier to step into that role.
Yeah, you, but you've got a
1563
01:02:52,190 --> 01:02:54,750
responsibility and to make sure
those kids are making really
1564
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,880
good progress and the day that
wasn't happening is the day I
1565
01:02:57,890 --> 01:02:59,990
absolutely should be pulled up
and anything like that.
1566
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,440
So I think very reflective.
Sounds good.
1567
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,290
No, absolutely.
So my 7 tips, we managed to get
1568
01:03:05,300 --> 01:03:07,860
about 5 minutes of decent chat
at the end without you saying
1569
01:03:07,870 --> 01:03:09,030
anything about it.
We did.
