Why 4 mins counts on my FAVOURITE day of the year

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

It is 11:00 uh on a on a Sunday morning and uh I've got to go and pick up my son from his girlfriend's because he's walking the neighbour's dog. That's good because Casper gets on with her really well and um it's a special day today. Uh it's the day that the clocks go forward.

Usually it's my favourite time of year. Uh, I just I love it. I love the weather. I love the sense of anticipation. The time from now, the time from now to about June, I think it's... it's... it's I just come alive. This is spring. It's like sunshine's finally here. But walking Casper in the dark at 4:00 is is is never fun. So, this is really good. that finally we can do some sunshine evening walks and ah it's the greatest feeling. I've always been like this. I've got a feeling it's linked to my sleep apnoea because this time of year is the apparently is the time when your vitamin D levels are at the lowest which is why everyone goes sick to the doctor in uh it apparently it's March April and you'd think it'll be like in deep winter but it's because they reckon not many people talk about this it's when our vitamin D levels in our bodies are at their absolute lowest because we haven't had any sunshine. And maybe we've made that worse by being indoors, you know, as a society lifestyle. Or maybe it's just that I'm a spring person. I just absolutely Oh, it's the best. I don't mind doing these short trips because I know that it's basically I feel like this is all the time I've got with him until he gets a car. So, I really don't mind being dad's taxi. Hey, how you doing? Good. Do you mind if I film this for the vlog? Yeah. Oh, okay. Cool. Um, I'm filming it because why? You know what today is, right? Sunday. Um, you able to grab the camera and just it's it's rolling. Just get Casper. Should I open it? I hope you

This is the first clock we're going to do in the hallway. I love this one. Fake sort of 1920s look. This is how I change the clocks, though. The time is 1:43. So, I'm going to set this for 146. I never know whether to do three, four, or 5 minutes ahead. I... I'll split the difference. I'm an ADHD dad. So, this is my workaround for us not being late for everything.

It's like daylight savings time, but it's it's like dad savings time. GMT plus three minutes or four minutes depending on how I feel when I'm setting it. This is our vision board which we hate. Uh should we take down the vision board today? Yeah. Has anything happened from it? Nothing from our vision board has happened and this has been what it's long enough for there to be quite a lot of dust on top of this. Maybe the vision was to to attract dust. We'll have to rethink this. Should I just take it down? Yeah. Okay. This is big. I... I just thought we'd be changing the clocks in this video, but we're going to be destroying dreams. Oh, I really didn't think we'd be taking this down. My god. So, it's 1:47. That means this should be 1:53. There we go. And I'm going to put the vision board back up cuz I can't face having to clean behind it. Onto the favourite now because this is why I started this channel. I put a video up on a completely different channel for how to change the clock on an oven and it did really well. Like it still gets really stupid amounts of views and I link from that to this channel. So if you have joined this channel from that video, uh, thank you. It's 13:49. So that means I'll change this to 13:53. Into the hut and I'll set this clock for I think 13:57. My wife's dad used to change the clocks in in her house. Wasn't our house. That would have been weird. Um, but he used to do it apparently by calling Tim. And back in those days, the only place we could get the right time was by calling a phone number. Probably still works. I haven't thought of trying it. I bet it's a premium rate thing now. So, you'd call this number and you'd get this exact time over the phone and you'd use that to set the clocks around the house. So, I sort of do that, but I deliberately offset it by our family tardiness. I can't cheat with this one. I got a fancy clock from Little and this is radio controlled and there was famously a a big issue with the clocks in Lidl because they they sold all these clocks that were radio controlled, but they were they were from Germany, so they showed very accurate German time. I'm not sure pushing the clocks forward by an hour is um is a good thing. Four minutes is enough. Can I change the clock? I'm making a video about changing the clocks. People know how to change clocks. Dad, 

have you got...

I don't have any clocks. 

Uh I'll do the ones in the bedroom then. So, we've got this great clock here. Uh bedside clock. It's brilliant. It's a flip clock. So, it says on and off. And when you want it to be on, you make sure that the on is up. And then it shows the uh the alarm time there. When you want to stop the alarm or not have it on, you just turn it upside down. Isn't that cool? I'll put a link to it down in the description, but I don't think you can get these anymore. So, it's 14:02. I think I'll make this 14:06. And it's the start of the Easter holidays, so we don't need any of that. Oh, this is my favourite time of year. It's my favourite day of the year. This is a crucial one. The central heating clock. Traditionally, this should be the day where the central heating goes off until October, but it's uh it's a bit cold at the moment. Oh, it's got it's got it it automatically does it. So, there's this really good uh feature where it automatically changes it for you to save you time. And I've just undone that time saving. Finally, the car. We've got a really big problem with our display because it sounds like it's exploding. We think there's like a dodgy connection

[SOUNDS OF SPEAKERS] 

with the speakers and it... it it sounds like people are throwing bricks at the windows. It's really bad. I don't know why it's not stopping now.

Oh, here we go. Clock. Oh, that's really simple. There's a whole button here marked clock that I didn't see. So this is 14:08. We usually get late for football on a Saturday. So if I make this I don't know 1411...

To make this day my favourite day of the year even more special. There's just one more trip that I've got to make.

Hello. Hello. Hi, honey. Hi Lou.

What's up?

So, your friend went to McDonald's and got He got medium fries, a medium massive Big Mac, a medium zero Coke, one McFlurry, and one "no thanks". 

A no thanks.

One no thanks.

Oh!
