(no music) (5 hours) (ASMR) Whisper Wednesday | Let me bore you to sleep #1307 | 19th March 2025

Hello and welcome to Whisper Wednesday or Wednesday's Whisper, Whisper Wednesday, yeah something like that. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep, please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. My name is Jason Newland and my website is jasonnewland.com, also I have a YouTube channel which I suppose if you're watching this on video you'll know that, but it is at jasonnewland and I have a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group, please join and please subscribe and like if you like.

So I do have a bit of a request for those that are listening who like what I do, can you do me a favour please, tell somebody, tell someone, let other people know, no, well yeah but that's not what I was going to say, I'm tired, I could fall asleep, sorry, sorry about that.

A bit of food just came out of my mouth, that's weird, a bit of ready brick, I can't imagine doing a whole recording with a bit of ready brick on my lip the whole time, grim, happened once actually, but it was more my big beard, I was, I think this was quite a few, about 2020, and I didn't shave pretty much for nearly a year, biggest, biggest beard ever, and I was in the park with Vinnie, and there was a lady with a dog and I was just talking to her,

and I tripped over, a roast dinner fell out of my beard, honestly, it was like, it must have got caught up in there, it was still on the plate, that's just weird, it was still hot, it was still in the microwave, no, knife and fork was still there, oh dear, the whole cooker fell out, no it didn't, I've left Vinnie in the bedroom, asleep on the bed, and I'm hoping that he just doesn't make a fuss, because even though he knows I'm still in the building, he knows I'm still in the flat,

because I'm pretty sure he can hear me, he can definitely smell me, I mean dogs have got like 100,000 times as, is that real though, can you imagine it's like 100,000 times to smell, it explains why he runs out of room whenever I fart, he does actually, if he's laying on the settee with me, if I let one rip, he jumps off, he looks at me with disgust, but it's okay for him to fart, hey, so the favour, I'm starting to rank, I'm not talking about smelling again,

I'm emails I'm getting from podcast charts, I mean I don't know how true it is, but I'm number 15 in one, in the top 10 of another, I don't know, and it's my main podcast, and I went, and it's generally the Apple, the Apple app, the Apple podcasts app, which gets the most traffic, and I went on there, and some of the messages are just awful, that have been left, nothing's been left for probably two years maybe, maybe a year, and it seems like the only time someone will leave a message is if they don't like what I'm doing,

I wouldn't go to that effort to be negative, can you hear the birdies in the garden, there actually there's a hole in the side of the wall, I call it a glory hole because that's where all the glorious birds go in and out, and I think they get into the ceiling, the loft, but apparently because we've got, what are they called, thingies on the roof, they tend to nest under them apparently, like solar panels, yet my electricity is not reduced at all, and the solar panels are there 24 hours a day,

every day of the year, so there's something wrong there isn't there, I should be getting reduced electricity bills, perhaps I should look into that, you'd think that wouldn't you if it's there 24 hours, ok maybe not so much in the winter, but in the summer, blimey, and it's the hole of the roof, so it's a good size, I wonder if they work, I wonder if they're actually connected, I don't know, so oh yeah, Apple Podcasts, if you are willing, can you please go on there and leave a message, a review,

probably that's the right word, a review, because I've got no up to date ones, and according to some of those messages you'd think I don't, or those reviews, I don't get anyone listening, and I do, so it'd be nice maybe to get, to make it a little bit more up to date, maybe, maybe, so what have I been up to, I had a weird experience yesterday, took Vinnie out for a walk, as I do every day, and he's got a tendency of barking at large dogs, especially kind of anything Labrador size and above,

because Labradors are quite large aren't they, quite thick set, and because he's so little, and it was a dark dog, dark brown, black, but dark brown, which I think Vinnie probably couldn't tell the difference, and I think he's scared of black dogs, so I'm walking up towards this woman who's got this dog, it's off the lead, but it looks like a friendly dog, everything's cool, and then Vinnie starts barking, like growling, and I don't know, he wasn't being very friendly, Vinnie wasn't, and she started saying stuff that was basically making fun of him,

out of Vinnie, it's the first thing she said, oh come on, to her dog, before that, before you get beaten up, before that little thing beats you up, and I thought, was that really necessary, mocking my dog just because he's scared, you know, and that dog was like a giant compared to mine, like what, ten times bigger, and I was trying to be friendly to her, but you know when you can get the energy, you can like feel it, and the facial expression as well, it's like okay, and then she said,

and I said oh sorry, I just apologised and said I don't know, he just, he struggles with large dogs, and she said oh he's got little man syndrome, and I thought, you're mocking him again, just seemed, why, what, why do that, anyway, it bugged me, it really bugged me, because there was that look in her eye like, I don't know, really just taking the piss, basically, and it was uncalled for, because he's just a dog, dogs bark, it's, yeah, I don't know, gave me a little bit,

I know I don't normally talk about serious stuff in these podcasts, but, it was a little bit of a, yeah, I reacted internally, not externally, and I was trying to figure out but why am I reacting to that, it's just some human being, being rude, or maybe not, maybe just thinking that she was funny, maybe it was funny, maybe I was being too serious, you know, I don't know, I try and make an effort to be friendly to people, but I don't know what was going on,

mind you I did have a kind of a similar thing with a lady once, where she was, said something rude, and I thought, eh, I looked at her and I thought well I'm not going to remember her, I'm not great at remembering humans' faces, but I remember the dog, so I decided to keep away from her, if I saw her from a distance, if I saw the dog from a distance, but I think it turned out she was quite friendly in the end, and we didn't get married or anything, but, you know, she turned out alright.

There's a lot of new people around here, I mean, generally, this time of year, you start to see the fair weather walkers, the fair weather dog walkers around, who just don't seem to be around in the winter, I'm out all year round because I've got no choice, but for those that have, I mean I guess some people take their dogs in a car to a park, or perhaps have a garden so the dog can run around in a garden, if they've got two dogs they can play with each other so they don't really need to

go out for the exercise because they can run around, I guess, but yeah, I start to see people that I haven't seen all year suddenly appear, like, oh hello, you alright?

What is strange is because I don't take much notice of what the people look like, if they're not with their dog, I don't recognise them, it's an out of context situation, it's a bit like Clark Kent's Superman, you know, put glasses on Superman and not want to know who he is, he'll be walking around, can you imagine if he actually forgot to take his glasses off, and he's walking around, he's saving people's lives, stopping planes from crashing, you know, flying around and he lands on the White House lawn to accept another congratulations peace medal from the President, and he's standing there walking up to the President and all the security is saying, wait, stop, stop, why?

It's me, who are you? What do you mean who am I? Who do you think it is? I've just flown out of the sky, I've got a red cape, a suit on, what do you think it is? The President will be like, oh, I don't know who this is, who are you? And then I realised, oh, it's the glasses, takes the glasses off and everyone, oh, it's Superman, it's Superman, sorry, didn't recognise you with those glasses on, you just looked completely different.

Apparently, I've seen clips of the new Superman movie, he's got curly hair when he's clocking, and sort of more straighter back hair, like, you know, greased back or whatever when he's Superman, so it's a little bit different, because I remember in the first Superman, he had his hair very much flat on his face, didn't he, on his head, but forward and then back when he was Superman, yeah, I mean, people do look different, I mean, if the reality was this, if Clark Kent decided to announce himself that he was actually Superman,

let's say to his fiancee, or Alice Lane, or if you go back further, he also loved Lara Lang, Lana Lang, sorry, I've got Lara on my brain, Lana Lang, and so he just decided to like, or maybe his work colleagues at the newspaper, he just decides he's had enough, he wants to just tell everyone just to have a clean slate, make a clean breast of it, so he just gathers everyone around and said, okay, what is it Clark, what do you want, we've got things to do, and he said,

I just want to just show you all something, I need to make an announcement, okay, what is it, well, is everyone here, or everyone in the whole world, no, no, just you, people, yeah, we're here, can't you see us, it's a bit rude, isn't it, in reality, if he took his glasses off, they wouldn't be saying, oh, it's Superman, it's Superman, because that's not what happens, if someone sees you for the first time without your glasses, if it was realistic, when he took his glasses off, at least one person would shout out,

where's his eyes gone, because your eyes shrink, they look bigger than they were when you've got glasses on, I couldn't believe that, I've met people that like, they took their glasses off and like, just got dots for eyes, when they haven't, but it's just the magnification, he's so used to it, luckily, my eyesight is more distance, so it's not that magnified as far as my eyes are going, doesn't make my eyes much bigger, that'd be quite a funny little sketch in a Superman movie, apparently, according to the, whatever,

the Superman preview video on YouTube, there's a super dog, I don't know how they managed to come up with that, because there's never been a super dog in any of the movies before, I don't remember ever seeing a super dog, I mean, I've never been a big cartoon, like comic book person, as far as superheroes, I mean, I have read them, you know, in the early days, I used to quite like the X-Men, but it's, you know, 40 odd years ago, 40, 50, 45 years ago,

I don't even know if I really understood what I was watching, or reading, but, it was kind of adult, so I quite liked it, yeah, I used to read science fiction books, like really thick, proper, like dense, huge, fantasy science fiction books, just because they had naughty bits in them, I came over one by accident, I was in a shop, got banned, no, I was in a book shop, and I just thought, well, it's not really my thing, but the cover was so nice, I liked the cover a lot, so I thought, okay, I wonder if anything inside the book connects to the cover, I mean, otherwise, why is there a cover?

Oh, that reminds me, one of those negative reviews was saying that my titles are misleading, I mean, come on, these are supposed to be boring, they're not supposed to be, like, he said he was going to talk about UFOs, he didn't hardly mention them, he's called, his title is being abducted by aliens, he didn't mention it, he was never abducted by aliens, I only wanted to listen because I wanted to hear about the story, the abduction of aliens story, I want to hear about the probing, it's like,

just because I give a title to a recording doesn't mean the recording is about that title, bearing in mind that I might be talking for an hour or an hour and a half, I may mention it, I mean, to give you a little secret, how I come up with the titles for my Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings, is by just trying to remember something I spoke about, as simple as that, trying to remember something that I chatted about, and it's not always easy because, I mean,

I'm 25 minutes into this recording and I've not really talked about anything, I've not said anything yet, so it's not always easy to come up with a title, so, you know, sometimes I'll just do something random or try and remember what, you know, something that I spoke about, which isn't always easy, these recordings are not really supposed to be taken seriously, especially the Let Me Bore You To Sleep, they are not educational, they are supposed to be boring, relaxing, so you can just let go of the day, feel calm,

feel peaceful, allow your body to relax and your mind to slow down, I would say it's the result of listening to these, you see, opposite to thinking, there's nothing really to think about, it's not challenging, I'm not going to ask you to do anything, it literally is just me, being boring, so sometimes, I think what it is, is sometimes the titles are way more interesting than the recording, my stomach just farted, that's weird, have you ever had an internal fart?

I think I just had one, maybe it's because I'm sitting down on a chair and it can't get out, that's weird, that's strange, I mean that might be the title of this recording, internal farting, it doesn't mean I'm going to spend an hour talking about farting, because I won't, I might generally don't even mention it because I'm a bit of a prude and I'm very sensitive and things like farting really disrupt my equilibrium, to be fair, if someone is like so sensitive to the point of being offended by the word fart,

then you need to do something about that, like have a little word with yourself, calm down, calm down, calm down, that was a weird sound, yeah, so far this week I've done a few recordings, I can't remember if I did anything on Sunday, I did boring objects on Monday and I talked about houses that I lived in throughout my life, or homes, including rooms, flats, houses, council blocks, places like that, and butlings, and living in Ireland, forgot about that, wow, yeah, so I didn't fit everything in, Tuesday I did trivia Tuesday,

where I talked about some trivia stuff regarding relaxation, I don't really know what I'm going to do tomorrow, but Friday is Q&A Friday, like it always is, yeah, Q&A Friday, Q&A Friday, I think I've already got four questions, or maybe five already set for Friday, if you'd like to ask me a question, then please go to Jason Newland's Boring Group on Facebook, and you can leave a message, or leave a, you know, post a question, because when I do answer the questions, I say your name, only the first name,

and I try and answer as best I can, I looked at one of the questions which is going to be a little bit difficult to answer, so I'm not sure how I'm going to manoeuvre that one, but we'll see, I think when it comes to stuff like family, I have to be a little bit careful, because I don't really have the right to talk about my family, like generally, yeah, vaguely, yeah, overall, yeah, but not really specifically each individual person, I talk about my dad, but I don't say much really,

I just, I say a few things about him, but any other relatives I don't generally mention, I don't mention their names, or anything like that, because it seems a little bit of an invasion of privacy on them, so yeah, did I tell you, wow, did I tell you that on, I think it was Sunday, might have been Monday, no, it might have been Saturday, I think it was Sunday, oh by the way, this Saturday morning, in Australia, boxing's on, Kambosa's fighting, or Kambosa Junior, I don't know what all that Junior's about,

but Kambosa, and so that'll be good, 8 o'clock I think it is in the morning, lovely start to the weekend, oh yes, and so it's world class boxing, anyway, I think it was last Saturday, I was walking Vinnie, and he took me down a pathway, I think he just wanted to sniff some of the grass, and there was a, I think it was a man with a dog, or a couple with a dog, and then there was a man, another man, giving treats to that dog, so they knew each other,

I don't mean the dog, but the humans, so I'm kinda walking over and the man gives Vinnie a treat, and I notice that he's got a GoPro camera, so I said oh, you out filming, which is kind of an obvious thing I suppose, but I didn't know if it was just, cos he had a, did he have a bike, I can't remember, but he had this thing on the front of his top where he could put the GoPro, oh yeah he was a jogger, he liked to run,

that seems weird that sentence doesn't it, the word like and run in the same sentence, but yeah, and so I said oh, he said yeah I'll make videos for YouTube, I said you know what, so do I, and we danced around the fields for hours, it was weird, blimey, 18 years of YouTube, and he's the first person I've met that makes YouTube videos, I don't think anyone else that I've met does, just trying to think, no that's not true, I lived in, oh yeah, when I finished university I moved into a room,

and there was a rapper living downstairs, so he did his own music, and he was a rapper, I think a rapper, or it might have been a different word, but a driller, I don't know what it's called, but he had his own YouTube channel, so that was cool, outside of that, I'm just trying to think, I mean I probably have met people that make YouTube videos, but the subject just didn't arise, possibly, highly likely, actually, there must have been a few people over all this time, who make YouTube videos, yeah,

very likely, but no one told me, no I can't think of anyone, it's quite warm in here, can you see that look, actually it's not wet, but it's a little bit clammy with all these lights and stuff, make sure I haven't got any food on my lips, it's almost like a bit of food is trying to get back out of my mouth and jump back into the cereal bowl, I don't know, I want to go home, that was weird, talking to the YouTuber, not just because he was standing on his head,

but also why he was wearing a space suit, I don't think he was really an astronaut, it was just strange to talk to someone who I could actually have a conversation with and understand what he was saying, not that I never understand anything that anyone's ever saying, it's just the whole, you know, if you've made videos on YouTube you know that there's quite a lot involved in it, it's not just a case of making a video and uploading it, although that is what I used to do, I did,

there was no introduction, there was no, you'd have the entire background sound, there'd be no fading in, no fading out, for years and years and years, I did that, partly through laziness, and partly because I couldn't be bothered, as time's gone by, there's, I mean the quality of the video and the quality of the audio has improved so much, since I started doing this stuff, that's quite good, still have to do the audio separate though, using this microphone, but that's okay, I don't normally have my eyes closed throughout the entire recording,

but today for some reason it just feels right, I drifted off then, I don't know what I was talking about, I just heard myself saying it feels right, but I don't know what felt right, so when I was talking before that I was, it's nice to just do nothing, that is very relaxing, just to sit here, nothing to say, nothing to do, no expectations, just me and you, and if you wonder whether or not I'm aware that I rhymed this last few sentences, no, I'm not sure, if I close the door,

I wonder if the box in the main event on Saturday morning will end up being a draw, as long as nothing happens that's against the law, I've run out of rhymes now, the real sense of peacefulness in the garden, closing the gate quietly, or attempting to close the gate quietly, apparently Thursday is supposed to be the hottest day of the year, so far, I mean if it's the hottest day of the year, like completely, so we get to the end of December, and then you sort 20th of March, 2025,

was the absolute hottest day of the year, then it needs to rise up, what was I saying, I've started thinking about, this is quite calm, it's actually really relaxing, it's nice, it's amazing, how even though I've not really mentioned feeling relaxed, I've feeling sleepy, peaceful and calm, and it's just naturally any effort, which means I'm getting more oxygen in my blood, sending healing, everyone feeling so calm, it's nice to just let go, I can still notice my mind keeps drifting, I'm struggling to remember what I've already said, so I'm going to go, remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy, be gentle with yourself, because you deserve to feel safe, bye
