0:00Shall we do our game? Oh, yes. Are you ready? I'm excited for the game. Now I feel nervous though. Because since you are so down with the cool kids, we thought we'd test your music ability and rap knowledge. So we're going to talk a line from a rap and see if you know... You could end my career here. We don't want to do that. This could go horribly wrong. This could. It's all right, we can edit it. Yeah, okay. Okay. I didn't even know these. Okay.

With my mind on my money and my money on my mind. With my mind on my money and my money on my mind. Why can't I figure it out? Did I write that? Was it Snoop? Was it Snoop? No, my, my. No. Snoop! Yeah, it's Snoop. Is it? Yeah. yeah Snoop Dogg what's it called drop it like it's hot no does it not drop it like it's hot with my money on my mind just to really put you up I was going to do it in a Scottish accent and I was like oh we have to do that oh I think you should do that with my mind on my money and my money on my mind it's we Snoop Dogg for God's sake Jen and Juice I need a bit Jen and Juice I want you to see your next one with your Yorkshire accent the one that I like okay I'll be everywhere everybody know me okay I'm thrown completely no your accent when you sound like you're in a Wetherspoons oh I'll be everywhere and everybody know me I'm gonna come down with my pitbull and my tighty mash and knock you out in my tranny van that one yes I'll be everywhere and everybody know me I don't have a clue at all for this one not a clue so this is Will.i.am your mate You know, your best mate.

7:18Feeling Myself featuring Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and French Montana. There's no way I would've got that. No, I don't know that. I'm glad I was truthful. Can you imagine you could cut this and be like, how was your time before we were like, oh, I grew up listening to Will Am. I know every one of these tracks word for word. We're like that. We're like that. Every weekend. Right, what's this track? No clue. No, no idea. Oh. Oh, I missed that one. You did very well though. Yeah, you did do really well. That was a hard, hard round. We believe that you really like rap. We believe you now. Can you imagine I failed every single one?

7:46I know. You'd be like, yeah, so anyway, watch my videos. Did you get an A in science at school? I didn't. Did you not? I didn't. I got two Bs in GCSE, double science. Yeah, that's still good. Yeah, it was good. That's still very good. But I think it's not a bad thing because it's just like, I love science, but I didn't necessarily learn fantastically easily. And that's helped me with being a teacher. what would you say and what advice would you give to parents whose kids are approaching GCSEs or when it's a bit of a minefield for a parent to think how can I support my child to revise to learn what do they need to be learning where I am right now yeah and what kind of obviously you've got your books and stuff what resources are out there that you would recommend for parents that feel a little bit scared about the whole process well I think it's time management is a big one I was useless with time management as a kid and my dad used to bang on all the time about making a timetable and that sort of thing um and i approached it eventually like 15 years later and i organized my time better now and then i realized how important it is for things like studying because life can be overwhelming studying can be overwhelming yeah but if you've got yourself organized and everything written then at least you know what you're doing i do think as well i mean it was for me if you like your teacher then that's when i i thrived in the subjects where I really loved my teacher.

9:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like you're such an inspiration in that way because you are bringing fun and really coolness into science. You know, it's not every kid's favourite thing to go, yeah, I love science, but you're bringing it back. That's what I'm trying to do. Because if you're going to inject some coolness into it, then it makes you want to learn. Maybe it's just like old, fuddy, dirty, boring, dusty. Yeah. You're not interested. It's just trying to inject a little bit of energy. Totally, totally. I remember back to like science being everyone just sort of burning and singeing each other with Bunsen burners.

9:41And then like, you know, people snogging at the back of the classroom. Really? That was like, you know, you go and get a pipette and a test tube. Where did you go to school? I was going to assume. Up north, innit? Make them different up there. Yeah, yeah. I do have an important question for you though. Do you feel more confident as a dad? Because I remember we had our first little boy and it was like, oh Christ, you have no idea what's going to happen. then when we had our second little boy we were like oh another boy and I remember I looked at my husband I was like we've got this because we've already had a boy they're like chalk and cheese yeah and then Annabelle having a girl but the second I looked at my husband holding her I was like this is so different yeah like him holding a daughter and she had this little yellow knitted hat on and she was so tiny and he was just holding it like just like crying his eyes out and he was like oh my god she's so small like and he just didn't want to let go of her um and he was he was like this is just different and it by within 10 minutes of holding her he was like this is different to the two boys yeah did you feel that was different um i also had a unique experience i don't feel many people speaking about you know like all kids are different yeah i was supposed to know all kids are different i had my first born james and then suddenly it's two years has gone by and we're having the second george as a science teacher i should know that they're different but when i came to the same scenario seeing him on the on the bed of the lights i expected him to be a clone yeah so when I looked I was like he looks different it's the first one obviously obviously it's a different child but I was like why did I expect it to be a clone um so he wasn't he's very very different different complexion just different looking yeah his own thing and then I and then I accepted that so when we were having a third I was like our third is gonna be completely different so when I saw her laying that's like she looks identical to James I was like what I was like what's going on with jeans here this is crazy um so yeah so yeah I find jeans fascinating absolutely fascinating even like little idiosyncrasies that we all have yeah yeah yeah I just find it fascinating yeah it's the science behind it and those idiosyncrasies it's weird because a large part of that would be because we've raised them right so they just copy our ticks and our weird things that we do but some of them isn't that they're copying it's just hardwired yeah it's hereditary yeah it's hardwired I have something called a chew syndrome which no sounds mental it's where you sneeze a lot in bright lights a chew stands for things and I can't remember what it's like acute it's basically sneezing.

11:59So it's not achoo and achoo. No, it stands. It just has the same letters. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

Like a good neighbour, state farm is there acute yeah someone's playing games and they named that do you know what I mean yeah but it is called achoo syndrome yeah stands for things I need to figure out what it stands for but it's it's sensitivity to bright lights and you sneeze and that happens to me all the time if I go on holiday if it's sunny outside I will sneeze 15 times in a row 20 minutes later I'll sneeze another 15 times in a row and my eldest son has that and my sister has it and my brother has it my dad had it oh my god And so when we're all together, we're just nonstop sneezing.

12:59It's the right lamp. It's a lock you in a room of bright lights. It's actually quite enjoyable. You should see the disco. There's snot everywhere. Exactly. I quite enjoy it. But you're okay in here. Fine in here. Yeah, fine in here. I loved the video that you did. I think it's to the song Vogue. And it's about finding the protein. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was seriously clever. We're testing these foods So we can prove What nutrients they have Take bread for a stop And use this test for carbs Iodine turns black Yeah, I owe the world an apology for trying to sing on that track. No, I thought it was brilliant.

13:45I thought it was absolutely brilliant. But again, you've got the science, which is fascinating. You've got a brilliant soundtrack of Vogue, but then you've got your lyrics over it. And the whole thing, it just made me interested. Oh, I'm glad. Thank you. Thank you. In what you're talking about. And keep that retention because there's one thing like looking and going, oh, yeah, that's cool. And there's the other thing of actually watching, listening. And then the best part, obviously, is the fact that people are learning from what you're saying. They're remembering. And they're like different components to put together in one video to make it really popular and for kids to maybe watch it again and think, actually, if I listen to that and then it goes off the back of what you said earlier about having the memory recall, the patterns.

14:26Yeah, and it helps with viral tracks. I didn't pick that randomly. I picked that because Jim Skin, you know, the guy that's going mega viral for reviving Madonna's track. I can't remember what it's called. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Check it out. You guys, we can do like a meme after this actually. Oh, I can't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Down with that. So yeah, there's this guy called Jim Skin and he is just well known for being funny and doing streams. and his biggest thing is he just does this shoulder dance to madonna's in the groove yeah and it went mega viral because it is a tune it's a tune i think he's just walking about someone on a night out and it's like hold on follow that tune and he's just just acting how he acts normally but people find that hilarious he goes to the club he hears madonna's track and then he just starts dancing to it and it's become a viral sensation so i was like i gotta jump on that i gotta jump on that tune yeah do you have anything for us that you could perform on the podcast for a rap yeah we definitely can yeah what do you mean we you we're all gonna do it oh okay yeah we're gonna do it oh my god i'm excited i do i do have one more question can i ask you before we do our rap not that i'm trying to get out the rap um i just want to know because there's been like some research recently about kids on ipads yeah and my dad said to me the other day it's okay because i've been away touring so he's like it's all right um like that my parents stayed to look after the kids and help my husband and dad said annabelle um your two-year-old my two-year-old can she can watch the ipad for like an hour a day because there's new guidelines to say that that's okay and i was like no dad she doesn't watch an ipad so my dad had given her the ipad and he was like well she's allowed it for an hour oh so that's it now she was like ipad ipad i was like absolutely not when i got home that was another thing to like contend with um oh that's hilarious he's thinking he's in the right thing but he's just introduced and he was like well i read it on the news and they said kids up to the age of two or three or something can have an hour a day on iPad.

16:16What's your thoughts A with a teaching background and B with your parent hat on, on watching iPads and screens? Sometimes the screens are just like the piece that you need as a parent. Especially with your videos. Educate in the next generation over here. I just put my videos on repeat for two hours and that's alright. So when the kids were super young like zero to three I don't think they had much screens at all. And then as they've got like three and above yeah they watched TV and iPads and phones can't see it being much more than a couple hours a day but as you get older we watch more you know we were watching TV when we were kids I suppose it's what they're being exposed to isn't it because what we let them watch is almost like parenting them instead of us and teaching them values just leaking in so that's the thing I'm sometimes worried about all the kids just need to watch your videos and everyone will be fine not ours especially not what was in this episode yeah yeah right okay wrapping that's fine i just i was wondering about that what's the topic we like in science fertilization that's a last section reproduction it's parenting podcast yeah yeah it makes sense it makes sense yeah all right i will do a run through on my own so i've got the pace of it and then we'll do it together okay yeah are you gonna do a beat or i'm just you're just gonna go move my hands i'll just be awkward with my head like that yeah?

17:44Mitosis is a process. When cells divide if you notice. For repair and what growth is. Starts in the nucleus that's the hostess. Replication, chromosomes split. Line up in the middle of the cell or focus. Then pull apart to the opposite sides. Chromatids here now the cells divide. When the cell splits itself into two pieces. That moment right there is called cytokinesis. Oh that's good. What you now have are two daughter cells. With identical chromosomes numbers as well. Boom. Wow. Yeah, yeah. I mean... High five for both of you for that. Yes. Yes. We just rapped. So, do you know what I was doing there?

18:18Mitosis. It's a process. That's what we need. That's what we need. But you just remembered that. Yeah. Mitosis. I don't even know what that... What is mitosis? It's when cells divide. Oh, yeah. It's a process. It's a process. Oh, my God. That was brilliant. Thank you. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Thank you very much. Loving it. Thanks so much.
