The Halloween Wrap Up #15 featuring the Jnr J's

00:00 It's the wrap-up. It's been Halloween and Team Superdad are here with the Junior Jays. Roll theme. Welcome to Team Super Dad. Real Dads creating their best lives ever. More time, more money, more fun. You are not alone. You're on Team Super Dad. Hey, it's Friday. It's the wrap-up. Johnny here from Team Superdad. Good afternoon. Good morning. Friends, family, Team Super Dad members around the world. Not only is it half term, which is a school holiday in the UK, but it's Halloween.

00:42 Halloween. Where have we got here? There's Jaygo's. There's Rosie's. Hello, Rosie. It's Halloween. In the UK, obviously, now, Halloween is a pretty big deal now. Never used to be. Never used to be. Daniel, good afternoon, sir. Welcome. Good to have you on the wrap-up. Daniel, do they do Halloween in Spain? Maybe they have that whole Mexico thing. YouTube just kicked back in. They have that thing in Mexico, don't they? What's that? Were they death day? Death? There was a Disney movie recently about it, anyway. But yeah, so each week we do the wrap-up.

01:24 It's a chance to, I don't know, celebrate the week. Do you know what? As men, dads, we are not always that good at celebrating the things that we achieve, good or bad. So the wrap-up, as well as Monday's stream and Wednesday's stream, both for what's gonna call it, 12 noon. But we can say, ah, yes. Sorry, I'm getting Daniel's messages coming through here. Day of the death or Mayo de Cinco. Cinco de Mayo. Daniel clearly showing his Spanish skills now after the amount of time he's been over there.

02:08 Let's get the banner back on. How do we do that? I can't even get the banner back off. Because I'm on the phone. There we go. There we go. Put the Friday wrap-up. Oh, man. That's what you'd get doing on the phone. We've got a Virgin Media, bit of a Virgin Media debacle going on. Good news is they can't get it. I can't even watch YouTube. That is scary. That is really Halloween. I have a big problem. So... I can't marble it because there's C's here. Rosie's. Yeah, but look. I will look because I put a C here for candy corn, but then I'm marbling them.

02:51 The marbling effect. So if you're watching on the video, that's great. If you're listening on the podcast, we've got pumpkins, we've got pumpkin guts. There's an awesome episode of Henry Danger, where they do a dare where they've got to eat a big old bucket of pumpkin guts. If you haven't watched Henry Danger with your kids, then check it out. And I just want to say... Go on then. If your kids do watch Danger Force, I don't want to spoil you a little bit, but Henry's back. Henry's back. No, we think he's back. Jake Norman, what a dude.

03:30 Jake Norman, he's like Nickelodeon pin-up boy. Yeah, but he's probably about, he must be early 20s now. Anyway, Jake Norman, big up Jake Norman. He doesn't know. Oh, Jace Norman. Sorry. Sorry, daddy. Check out the dad clanger. So, yeah, so it's half term. We've been on school holidays. Obviously, time is split between mother and I. And that means splitting work between the kids and, well, splitting my time between the kids and work, which if you are a parent of any kind, clearly half term for parents, lockdown for parents. You've got your kids at home and you're trying to work. So

04:11 if you're in a relationship situation there, then you're trying to juggle that. Mums, if dad's at home, just because he's at home doesn't mean he's not working. And I dare say there are some working mums who's done. So this will be for charity and I've been on this for an hour. And my hands are all painted. I'm just muting it now because it's going to keep coming on and on and on every time you wave your hand. Life, don't work. We want to say, don't work with animals or kids. That's blue peter.

04:55 Why, why animals? Because you can't control an animal. You can't control an animal. You can't control a cat. You can control a cat. That is. That's the dog. Because you can train a dog. You can control a dog. You can't control a cat. Cats just use your house as somewhere to sleep and allow you to feed them for the privilege of an occasional stroke, basically. That's what cats do. Coming from a non-cat person. Not that I dislike cats, I just never really had cats. I hate cats because one, I'm allergic to them, and two, we have this horrible cat in the neighbourhood. And when I was about six, it bit me. Yeah. Well, you've got to be careful putting your hand by animals.

05:38 Anyway. No, but you were stroking him. I know. Listen, I got bit by a Jack Russell in the face when I was a kid. A little white and black dog. Same thing. I put my face too close to it and it bit me. Oh, yeah, I think that's funny, do you? Yeah, the dog bit me. A little dog. A little dog, yeah. So it's like I said, we're doing the wrap-up. Right, so the wrap-up this week, it's November already. The clocks are gone back here in the UK, which is just annoying. I don't know why they do that. I wake up at 7:30. Oh, well, yeah, there is that, but it just messes with it. It's all to do with farming. You're coming back off front. You fall back, you spring forward. Yeah. So it's all to do with farming.

06:16 Like, I don't know how much farming goes on still. Hopefully, quite a lot, but whether farmers need the clocks to go back anymore, I don't know. But yeah, back in the gym on Monday to Wednesday, which is great. When the kids aren't here, I can go to the gym fully. And kids, my dad does spin class. Are they not really doing it at the moment? That's the annoying thing. And guess what? You might think, oh, I'll spinning. No, they're on a bike that doesn't move. Yeah, it's lame because you're not going anywhere. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. You're not going anywhere.

06:53 So, what are you doing? You're literally just, you're literally just walking on the spot. No, I'll see you in the next spin class, flip in supergirl. Let's see how you get on. I know I can't even fit on the spot. You're not allowed into your older. But when you're older, the game is on. They shouldn't let like six-year-olds in the gym or make no over eights. Over eights, we'll have a word. It's not fair. Yeah. So back in the gym and back on the treadmill, which is just a weird thing. To almost put it off and I'll put it on the roof. I do actually have muscles now. Look. To put it off for a while. 42-year-old. I'm 46. I know, that is old, isn't it? I'm near a 50 or 40.

07:37 By the time you're like 60, I'll be like 12. Yeah, well, of course. 50. When I'm. You're 9 now, so when you're 13, I'll be 50. Do the math. So when I'm 20, you'll be dead. No, Pyonka. So, yeah, back on the treadmill. And treadmill, I love it because you could do the interval thing where you speed it up and slow it down. Down them all last time. So people do point out, and this is true, that your treadmill speed isn't necessarily your outdoor speed. But if you're doing it day by day or week by week, then it's still a measure of how fast you're doing it. So to get my five kilometres back down, first day was 21.46 and the second day was 20.46.

08:22 So I'm only 46 seconds off of doing 5k and 20. It's different. You're still running. Yeah. But the treadmills are the same speed. You just run faster. So you do the five kilometres faster. It's not that complicated. Oh, I thought I run the same speed. So all I've got to do is knock 45 seconds off the time and we will be back under 20 minutes, 20 minute 5k on the treadmill, on the treadmill. So whatever your fitness goals are, set a challenge. Like set, be clear on what your time is or how many reps you're doing or what the weight is. And that can be as simple as five press-ups on your knees, getting up to 10 press-ups on your knees, getting up to five normal press-ups, 10 normal press-ups.

09:05 Doing on your knees don't do anything. That's not true. No, but it doesn't hurt. You could probably. I could probably do 100 and then double it. If you are unfit or overweight or lacking in confidence in some way, then doing press-ups on your knees allows you to build strength up. There's people, right, who are completely overweight and obese, and they then decide that life's got to change. I interviewed George McGuerin and he was completely obese. We're talking like biggest loser. Fat. Like 350. Don't say that.

09:47 Why is he listening? He told me. We had an interview. So he was crossing the street one day and this kid said, hey mum, look at that fat guy. And she said, Don't call him fat, he's clinically obese. Obese means like that's the medical word for overweight. So he goes, he's like, I couldn't decide what was worth being called fat by a six-year-old or being called clinically obese by his mother. But that became the motivation for him to lose all the weight. So whatever it is. Can I just say, Jaygo said he waved something what was quite big and then he said no, and then the scales was wrong because it said most of it was

10:32 muscle. But you can't have that much money. It wasn't wrong. You just read the reading wrong. You can't be 65%. Well, you can be 65% muscle. Maybe if you're like Arnie or someone, the rock in his WWE days. So that's been the week. Halloween is coming up. Corona, we are so bored of it. Like trying to arrange something for Halloween is stressful. People, quite naturally, there's different rules and people have got different attitudes. Why don't we have about three friends? And they don't even... They don't really. They do, they don't really do trick-or-treating. Yeah, true. But I don't do tricks. We never used to, but now I'm quite up for it now.

11:14 Having done it a couple of times, I kind of get it and I kind of enjoy it. But it's amazing. Like in a relationship situation, more often than not, the mum takes care of the social plans for the kids. So as a single dad, you're ending up ringing the mum, and quite some mums will end up just texting. So then you're into some weird texting conversation, and then you don't know what's going on. You get like a two-word reply to, hey, what's happening? You don't know if that means do one or if it means I'm just busy, right? So it's enough to give you a complex, basically. It really is enough to give you a complex.

11:55 A complex is where you think that people don't like you when that's not actually the case. But I did have a friend that didn't even turn up to in my house. So I don't think she actually likes me. But see, that's a complex. You think people don't like you when they actually do? Well, I don't know because I haven't saw them. That's a complex. You don't know, right? It's like a worry. So. She's going to say, when I go back to school, I bet she's going to say, like, oh, sorry, I was at my grandma's and I wanted to stay there. Yeah, but that's the real thing about a complex. You think it's about you. You think it's something that's wrong with you. But I'm not mad at her. No, I know, but it actually turns out there's a very reasonable reason that's got nothing to do with you, which is why the situation happened.

12:39 Probably like 50%, about 30% she doesn't like me, and about 50% she wanted to say grandma. She likes you. She's always desperate to come and play. So, but as you know, whether you're in a relationship, still married, or you're divorced and single-parent action, co-parenting. What is this video even about? It's the wrap-up, it's the Friday wrap-up. But what have you been doing this week? Yeah, yeah, looking after you and panicking about work. Panicking about what to do, what to order. I just want to say that's kind of false because he hasn't actually done anyone. That's why I'm panicking. That's why I'm panicking. Yeah, but you actually haven't panicked.

13:22 No, well, yeah, here's the thing, right? I try and keep that under the lid, you know. But on the point of the point of the wrap-up, in my journal the other night, I made a list of all the things I'd accomplished, first of all, in that day, and then I started. Just go get your journal. It's fine, don't need a journal. Then I started to do it for like the whole week, and it's really easy to get caught up in how many things you've got to do and fail to appreciate how many things you've actually got done. If you don't have a book, because I don't like writing, just store it in your brain. That's not writing a journal. The whole point of a journal is to relax your brain. Well, if you don't mind writing, no, I know, but the whole point is to get it out of your brain. Writing is like going back to school and going back to school is boring.

14:07 Listen, the point of a journal is to relax, is to process all the thoughts and information. It actually frees up space to be creative as well. You come up with new ideas. Do you want to type it? You can type it, but it's not as good as writing. But writing is boring. Writing's not boring. Writing... Do you know what? I agree. Writing can be boring. But... If you're like, can you draw it? Because if you're drawing, you're basically writing. A journal, you can do anything. A journal you can draw, a journal you can doodle, a journal you can draw. Okay, I'm doing a journal because I love drawing. Okay, but some days you have different inspirations. Some days you might be feeling sad and you would write about what you were sad about.

14:45 Other days you might have an idea for something amazing and actually what you journal about is that amazing idea. idea. Another day doing on a big piece of paper and do like sad, happy, yeah, yeah, but your journal you need to be able to carry around with you. It's like you know, it's it's it's you could do it on a giant piece of paper, but then you might need to have, I don't know, you could have a huge piece of paper and it'd be your 12-month journal when you fill that piece of paper up. We were meant to do a thousand try a thousand new food, and we've only got three. No, we tried lots of two months. We tried, well, this is a good thing. We can segue nicely into this, change the subject. Rosie's got over here 2020 new foods. So last night we had scampy. Oh, yeah. What do you think of scampy?

15:30 They had this disgusting, like fish taste. No, no, no. No, because they had the crumbs. Yeah. And so they had the like the fish. The fish inside, yeah. Yeah, I i thought it was prawn. It basically is prawn. Well, we had probably cheap ones from Liddle, so it probably wasn't prawn. Yeah, but I'm just going to pretend it was prawn. So they had this prawn and then they put this disgusting sauce over it and then they put the chicken. Then they break. Okay, tell you what, do you know what we'll do? We'll buy some decent ones, right? And we'll fry them because you are supposed to deep fry them, okay? So we will make so this is what I do. Team Super Dad challenge.

16:12 We will do decent here's a Team Super Dad challenge. You just interrupt me. Well, every week, have a day to have a vegetarian. Ours. Oh, ours is tonight. Have a vegetarian night. Okay, well, we'll do the Scampi tomorrow. So we're having a vegetarian stir-fry tonight. It's third-fried cut vegetables. Yeah. Can we have noodles? Yeah, probably, yeah. So we've got a list over there. We're doing 2020 new foods. Sadly, Rosie did about 2020 boxes on there, literally. So I said, no, no.

16:54 I said, let's do 20. How many are on there? I counted it. How many? 100. 100. 100 new foods. She is my daughter. That is for sure. No, no, but there's 100 because there's two years until it will go to 2012. 2021. Now, the point is, listen, we're going to. We'll check that in a minute. We will. We will definitely keep trying new foods. And tonight is vegetarian night. And then the rest of this weekend is Halloween. So yeah, Corona. I want to go Trick or Triti. We're going to go Trick or Treaty. There's no, there's no. We're going to go partying. We're tier one down here, so we'll be alright. There's no strangely,

17:36 I don't know how many people are going to come around though. So there are limits on people supposed to have around. So who knows? We're going to make the best of Halloween this weekend and enjoy the last few days. Before we go. Oh yeah, let's see your hat. Let's see your pumpkin. We haven't seen that one. So I actually haven't finished the front because that's why there's that, no, that. Great content for the podcast, by the way. Yes, so I have. So it's a yum. It spells yum all cut out. And then first for W, we have big candy wrappers. The them. Yeah, so you painted all over it, so that is awesome. Yep, and then at the back,

18:21 I've like faded in a marble. Marble effect. Absolutely awesome. And then Jaygo. Well, we don't. I've shown his already. I've shown his already. That's the wrap-up. Have a nice day. That's the wrap-up. We're going into November tomorrow. It's nine weeks till Christmas. Wait, it's November. Yeah. Or six weeks till Christmas? Six weeks till Christmas. Until our Advent. 32 days until our Advent Calendar start. Do you know? I saw this thing on Google. If you get an Advent, if you go to the dentist the day of Advent, December 1st.

19:03 December 1st, December the 1st, they will give you this Advent calendar, but full of like a new toothbrush or a new dental cross thing. And it's really weird because no kids want that. No. And when I booked you a dentist appointment, the first appointment we could get was March. So that's when... I hate the dentist. That's another subject for another day. This is Team Super Dad. Catch you next time. Why aren't you speaking? Because you go Team Super Dad out. I thought you were going to say bye. Oh, bye. Team Super Dad out.
