Then I wake up and I'm like, fuck, I've got to go pick the kids up.

Then you go pick up the kids, get them home, get them changed, run around, play a bit of footy, like muck around with them, get them dinner, get them into bed, get them, like, and I'll tell you, the homework in France is insane.

My son's nearly seven.

He does an hour and a half's homework a night.

Like, so,

We are so far behind education-wise in New Zealand.

Like, I don't particularly subscribe to that an hour and a half a night.

I think it's batshit.

I think it's way too much.

He's a little bit behind because he's learning two languages, but it's at least an hour's work a night.

I don't subscribe to that, but...

We're competing against those kids.

Our kids, New Zealand kids, are competing against the French education system, right?

And the French education system leaves ours for fucking dead.

Yeah.

You know, like, we are miles behind.

Like, literacy and all that stuff.

Like, these kids are, like, just out the gate, you know?

Like, seriously, Kenzo's bag, it weighs about seven kilos.

Yeah.
