Speaker 3: Blair has sent me a note to say Jack, I

5
00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:18,653
Speaker 3: was there with the procession for Prince William and Kate

6
00:00:18,653 --> 00:00:21,013
Speaker 3: Middleton when they get married. I hate to say I

7
00:00:21,093 --> 00:00:25,813
Speaker 3: wasn't invited to the official ceremony itself, but still to

8
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:29,253
Speaker 3: be there standing as the procession went by felt like

9
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:31,613
Speaker 3: a real moment in history. Yeah, if you've got one,

Speaker 3: is with us this morning, Kelder Kevin Kyoder.

15
00:00:46,093 --> 00:00:50,413
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what these occasions, I don't know, don'

16
00:00:50,413 --> 00:00:53,373
Speaker 4: have been to anything that fantastic. It was in the

17
00:00:53,453 --> 00:00:59,733
Speaker 4: Westminster Abbey just minutes after Princess Anne married Dad other

18
00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:05,893
Speaker 4: fella turned out to be. And how we got in

19
00:01:05,933 --> 00:01:08,973
Speaker 4: there amusing because there was a queue going for miles

20
00:01:09,573 --> 00:01:14,093
Speaker 4: and merely a couple of Keywi mates over there. We

21
00:01:14,093 --> 00:01:17,693
Speaker 4: were right up at the church door almost and there's

22
00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:20,973
Speaker 4: a group of men taking out a grand piano. So

23
00:01:21,053 --> 00:01:24,573
Speaker 4: we said, do you want to hand? And so we

24
00:01:25,173 --> 00:01:27,373
Speaker 4: so we gave them a hand and then walked back

25
00:01:27,413 --> 00:01:32,333
Speaker 4: into the into the abbey with them and there.

26
00:01:34,093 --> 00:01:35,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a classic thing.

27
00:01:35,813 --> 00:01:38,573
Speaker 3: It's way you should always have a Hiver's vest in

28
00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:41,133
Speaker 3: your backpack, you know, so you're going to slip it

29
00:01:41,173 --> 00:01:42,893
Speaker 3: on at a convenient moment.

30
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:45,093
Speaker 2: I just feel like he was a good at kind of.

31
00:01:45,333 --> 00:01:48,893
Speaker 3: Needling their way into historical moments. So yeah, it'll be

32
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:52,213
Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure there'll be some some good examples

33
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:52,693
Speaker 3: this morning.

34
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:55,853
Speaker 2: Anyway, Kevin, a very special email.

35
00:01:55,533 --> 00:01:57,293
Speaker 3: Was sent to us which piqued your attention.

36
00:01:57,973 --> 00:02:03,053
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've said the gray email from a listener. It

37
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:05,013
Speaker 4: was sent to you, of course, and you forwarded it

38
00:02:05,053 --> 00:02:08,333
Speaker 4: on to me for me. The letter represents the rewards

39
00:02:08,373 --> 00:02:11,773
Speaker 4: of remaining on a show for a long long time.

40
00:02:12,453 --> 00:02:18,893
Speaker 4: Here's the listener's email, which I've abbreviated. Approximately eighteen years ago,

41
00:02:19,693 --> 00:02:23,973
Speaker 4: in his regular Saturday morning slot on ZEBBI, Kevin explained

42
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:27,893
Speaker 4: he had kept a record of the particularly amusing things

43
00:02:28,293 --> 00:02:31,893
Speaker 4: his kids said or did and the joy of looking

44
00:02:31,933 --> 00:02:35,653
Speaker 4: back and remembering. He recommended we all do it. So

45
00:02:35,693 --> 00:02:38,373
Speaker 4: I took him up on the idea with my son,

46
00:02:38,773 --> 00:02:42,973
Speaker 4: who was three years old. This week, I handed over

47
00:02:43,053 --> 00:02:46,493
Speaker 4: the Humble Exercise Book to my son at his twenty

48
00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:52,533
Speaker 4: first birthday party. His reaction exceeded all expectations. So thanks

49
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:56,453
Speaker 4: for the idea, and I too commend keeping such a

50
00:02:56,533 --> 00:03:03,373
Speaker 4: record to anyone with young children, anyone just like you. Jack. Well,

51
00:03:03,413 --> 00:03:06,133
Speaker 4: thanks for that listener, for his delightful message, and for

52
00:03:06,173 --> 00:03:10,453
Speaker 4: being such a loyal listener over nearly two decades. And

53
00:03:10,533 --> 00:03:13,333
Speaker 4: so I have to ask you, Jack, have you started

54
00:03:13,373 --> 00:03:16,013
Speaker 4: with recording the key moments and roomies?

55
00:03:17,293 --> 00:03:18,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I need to.

56
00:03:19,093 --> 00:03:21,413
Speaker 3: I need to get a wriggle on in that department.

57
00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:24,293
Speaker 3: So I haven't yet, Kevin, for either Roomy or for

58
00:03:24,373 --> 00:03:27,613
Speaker 3: MANI I need to do a better job of recording things.

59
00:03:27,653 --> 00:03:30,173
Speaker 3: Of course, you can get a bit lazy because with

60
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:32,173
Speaker 3: our cell phones these days, you can just snap a

61
00:03:32,213 --> 00:03:35,413
Speaker 3: photo and think, oh, that's that right. But I wonder

62
00:03:35,453 --> 00:03:37,293
Speaker 3: if I wonder if there may even be a digital

63
00:03:37,373 --> 00:03:41,173
Speaker 3: version for those of us who you know, just think that, oh,

64
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:43,173
Speaker 3: digging out a scrap book every now and then, or

65
00:03:43,173 --> 00:03:45,493
Speaker 3: digging out an exercise book every now and then, there's

66
00:03:45,533 --> 00:03:46,893
Speaker 3: going to be a bit of a pain. But I'll

67
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,373
Speaker 3: tell you what I have done is over the last

68
00:03:49,373 --> 00:03:54,453
Speaker 3: couple of years, I have recorded myself talking about significant

69
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:59,653
Speaker 3: things in my life. So for example, during the COVID lockdowns,

70
00:03:59,853 --> 00:04:03,413
Speaker 3: I think after the first big nationwide lockdown, I sat

71
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:06,973
Speaker 3: down and just recorded myself talking about it half an hour,

72
00:04:07,253 --> 00:04:09,733
Speaker 3: and I saved that little audio recording because I thought, oh,

73
00:04:09,773 --> 00:04:12,413
Speaker 3: this will be useful for someone's social studies project in

74
00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:17,213
Speaker 3: about fifteen years time. And the same thing after money

75
00:04:17,293 --> 00:04:18,893
Speaker 3: was born, I just I sat down and kind of

76
00:04:18,893 --> 00:04:21,853
Speaker 3: recorded myself just explaining, you know, the kind of story

77
00:04:21,893 --> 00:04:23,733
Speaker 3: and what had happened and how it felt and all

78
00:04:23,773 --> 00:04:26,253
Speaker 3: that kind of thing, and saved it away. But yeah,

79
00:04:26,453 --> 00:04:28,693
Speaker 3: I think it's a lovely idea. The problem is that

80
00:04:28,853 --> 00:04:30,453
Speaker 3: at the speed of modern life, it's easy just to

81
00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:32,333
Speaker 3: kind of let their stuff fall by the wayside in

82
00:04:32,373 --> 00:04:33,053
Speaker 3: the moment, you know.

83
00:04:33,533 --> 00:04:37,733
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, yeah, soon it's a bit old fashioned. My advice, incidentally,

84
00:04:37,893 --> 00:04:40,973
Speaker 4: just for those that wouldn't have went around eighteen years ago,

85
00:04:42,213 --> 00:04:44,933
Speaker 4: was sipody to get an exercise book, drill a hole

86
00:04:45,013 --> 00:04:47,013
Speaker 4: through the top left hand corner of it, so you're

87
00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:49,893
Speaker 4: going to attach a pen or a pencil or something

88
00:04:50,653 --> 00:04:52,973
Speaker 4: to buy a piece of string and keep it in

89
00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:56,493
Speaker 4: the kitchen to capture all those magic moments in your

90
00:04:56,613 --> 00:05:00,613
Speaker 4: children's growth. Yeah. I now have one further piece of

91
00:05:00,653 --> 00:05:05,533
Speaker 4: advice regarding this, use a set predictionercise book for each child.

92
00:05:05,853 --> 00:05:09,533
Speaker 4: We didn't. It's on all our four kids in one large,

93
00:05:09,613 --> 00:05:13,253
Speaker 4: hard covered notebook, which you'd think was a pretty good idea.

94
00:05:13,733 --> 00:05:16,653
Speaker 4: We now have to hack it apart if we're to

95
00:05:16,853 --> 00:05:19,373
Speaker 4: give each of our kids their own little life story.

96
00:05:19,533 --> 00:05:20,013
Speaker 2: Yeah right.

97
00:05:21,133 --> 00:05:24,893
Speaker 4: I mean maybe it's better just holding on to it,

98
00:05:25,013 --> 00:05:27,373
Speaker 4: just one piece and a bit of family history that

99
00:05:27,413 --> 00:05:30,973
Speaker 4: somebody keeps. But I think actually, no one book for

100
00:05:31,053 --> 00:05:31,493
Speaker 4: each kid.

101
00:05:31,613 --> 00:05:33,213
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a nice idea.

102
00:05:33,693 --> 00:05:36,973
Speaker 3: We've done one other little thing we've so with Money's

103
00:05:37,013 --> 00:05:38,533
Speaker 3: you know, the first couple of months we have just

104
00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:42,493
Speaker 3: we took some of the photographs of him meeting various

105
00:05:42,813 --> 00:05:46,973
Speaker 3: family members and that kind of thing, and we've printed

106
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,813
Speaker 3: that off into a little book, you know, because we

107
00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:50,533
Speaker 3: used to do it all, you know, when babies were

108
00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:52,333
Speaker 3: born and stuff. You'd always have a kind of a

109
00:05:52,373 --> 00:05:54,973
Speaker 3: photo book or photo album, and so we've done a

110
00:05:54,973 --> 00:05:56,893
Speaker 3: wee version of that. I think that's a lot easier

111
00:05:56,933 --> 00:05:58,853
Speaker 3: in the digital age. But I love the idea of

112
00:05:58,853 --> 00:06:00,173
Speaker 3: an exercise. Yeah, Kevin, I think.

113
00:06:00,053 --> 00:06:01,853
Speaker 4: It's a real Yeah. Yeah, there must be a digital

114
00:06:01,893 --> 00:06:04,693
Speaker 4: way of doing that. And I agree that the old

115
00:06:04,773 --> 00:06:10,013
Speaker 4: exercise book is pretty old fashioned, but at least that's uh.

116
00:06:10,053 --> 00:06:12,613
Speaker 4: There's no mucking around with it, and it actually provides

117
00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:17,013
Speaker 4: possibly a better end product. Yeah, it does than unraveling,

118
00:06:17,453 --> 00:06:20,653
Speaker 4: you know, pouring everything out of your out of your computer.

119
00:06:21,573 --> 00:06:24,653
Speaker 3: That's spoken like by someone who clearly hasn't seen my

120
00:06:24,693 --> 00:06:28,573
Speaker 3: handwriting before. Given, that's my goodness.

121
00:06:28,293 --> 00:06:31,093
Speaker 2: I can't read it myself. Little love your son.

122
00:06:31,733 --> 00:06:33,893
Speaker 3: Hey, thank you so much for that. Have a great weekend, given,
