#61 Let me bore you to sleep - LIVE - Jason Newland (9th December 2018)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is a live let me bore you to sleep. So Rachel first is the first person to... yeah, first is the first person. To watch and I've got Trish stretching, strecking as well.

So basically the point of this is first of all I wanted to see if I could fit into this shirt that I haven't worn for a long time and clearly it's a little bit of a stretch. As you can see it's a little bit tight but there you go. That's... Only listen to this or watch this when you can safely close your eyes.

And I think the cam is a little bit wonky so I'm going to see if I can just... Oh, made no difference, good. So Boston Chicky has just arrived. And so this is one of those live let me bore you to sleep which is a little bit interactive but should still be boring because it's me and it's supposed to be boring but at the same time I realize if it's live that if you're listening to this or watching this live in America or Australia it could be the afternoon for you.

So Rachel says I'm freezing, my heating broke, I'm waiting for someone to fix it, I hope. So when you said you're waiting have you contacted someone or you're just hoping for the best? Hoping for the boiler fairy to appear? That was cheeky of me wasn't it? That was the cheeky. So let's see.

So I'm live at the moment. So this is number 61 on the the list of sessions that I've done for these live, well they're not all live but for the let me bore you to sleep. So I've been thinking about what new sessions to do but I don't want to do I don't want to do um actually I'll word this.

I don't want to do a new thing live just in case it kind of doesn't work out and Rachel says Andrea Dematia says hello, hello. Rachel says I hope the guy doesn't turn up in a tutu. Okay um you know what is a weird one.

I had, see I've got a council home and once a year the council send a boiler person to come and check the boiler and you know uh I don't know what's the right word just not fix it but just give it an overhaul like a MOT kind of thing but for um boilers instead of cars.

And so the man, it was a man it's only ever been men so far but I'm sure there's they've got females there as well that's why I didn't want to say boiler men but uh he's been there's a man that came around it's the same person that comes around every time and so he came in did what he had to do and then he left and I got a letter yesterday which was a kind of a certificate telling me that everything was okay with a boiler and it's certified for another year you know but it

was addressed to the wrong person it was addressed to a previous person that used to live here about seven years ago and I've been living there for four years nearly and I wonder if they can't get the name right are they what else are they getting wrong it just worries me a little bit.

Corinne has joined, hello.

I know during these live sessions people come people go and that's fine um but when I have finished the session when I've finished talking about nothing for 45 minutes or 50 minutes I'm not sure how long but when it's done I will then upload the video or download it from Facebook upload it to YouTube uh extract the audio and put it onto my SoundCloud podcast put it onto my Spreaker podcast and upload it to my website both the video and the mp3 so you can download them from my website for free as well as being

able to stream the video and stream the audio as well so don't worry if you've uh if you just caught this and you think oh well I do want to listen to it but unfortunately I have to go on holiday or you know unfortunately so you can watch it or listen to it another time all my videos that I produce the video videos not the because I've got some uh Spreaker when I make a an audio using just the podcast or app on my phone the audio then gets sent to my SoundCloud and if I

want to it I can also get it sent to YouTube in fact YouTube automatically gets done and it converts it into a video but it's not like a proper video it's just um a picture of the SoundCloud kind of podcast thing so I don't download those and I don't upload those to my website but I do upload the audios when I make a video like this I download the video then I upload it to YouTube I also upload it to my Vimeo channel all the videos on my Vimeo are private and you can only stream

them on my website so that means that I'm just protecting all my my content so that I'm not relying upon YouTube not relying upon any of the podcasts so all of my audios and videos on my website are all on there saved forever to download for free and the Vimeo podcast the Vimeo channel video channel I upload the videos there and I have to pay for that service but it's you know I've got all my videos on there and they're all set to private so I've given you inside information into the wonderful world of this

Christopher Peter Cherry hi and Carrie Joan McGrath hi uh hope is it McGrath McGrath isn't it strange because I've been on here on Facebook for 10 years but I've had this uh YouTube channel 10 maybe 11 years about 10 years maybe 11 and there's been times I've had contact with some people and other times when I've had no contact and maybe there's some names that really jump out of me that I've uh seen their posts but not for quite a while because I think Facebook's changed quite a lot over the years as I'm sure anyone

would agree that's spent time on it and there was a time when it seemed to be a bit easier to follow what other people were doing now I don't even seem to get the podcast I don't not the podcast I don't get the posts from people uh to look at so plus I've got too many people on my page to kind of follow really I'm not showing off it's just a name really so John Kelly hi John Kelly it says that you reacted to my video something came up on my screen and but I don't

know so if anyone likes what I'm doing and likes the video please you know feel free to click the like button so that I can you know pretend that I've got fans Kirstie type of stuff yeah so I'm just reading off some Facebook pages uh pages posts so let's have a look so yeah oh yeah I'm just waiting to see if anyone's...

John have you clicked the like button yet?

I'm just having a look if it shows it on the iPhone I can't I'm not sure I hope this sounds okay and I hope Sebastian comes on so what oh there you go hello Sebastian hello Jason greetings from West Cork Island hi John John says I like this live stream thank you it's uh it's something for people to just I suppose instead of me just talking to myself which is what I normally do when I make the live when I make the let me bore you to sleep sessions I suppose when I'm live there's a

little bit of an interaction so it's still boring but it's you know it's purposely so I've got um let's have a look I've got a Cassie Carter hello Cassie Carter so I'm just wondering how many of you have liked my videos so you've John's liked it I'm just looking it's kind of strange so I'm looking at the because I've got it on my page I've got the the Facebook page actually up on my laptop the laptop that you can see just see you see that big round mark that's this is now my official eating plate

my my plate holder I put my plate on there when I'm eating so Cassie Carter says morning Jason I just popped in to say hey well hey back at you Cassie Carter I know it's uh probably morning time for you so you're probably not wanting to go to sleep just yet Sebastian says it wouldn't be boring if you guessed it you know yeah if if I started having well the two the problem with um having a guest on the let me bore you to sleep sessions is it would no longer be a let me bore

you to sleep whoever I was talking to then it'd be uh potentially a kind of a stimulating session which is not really what it's aimed at and but the other thing is because I've got this microphone plugged into the iPhone I can't actually hear anything so even if you did come on and talk and your picture was on there I wouldn't be able to hear anything so I wouldn't actually be able to have a conversation with you so I suppose my question is do the I wonder if the lightning sockets in the iPhone have like

a double thing where you can have I don't know there must be a way around it see Sebastian says Fiona isn't here anyhow she enjoyed us both together yeah I think Fiona is on holiday I do believe traveling somewhere um so yeah she's uh but that that'd be a different type of video I guess really wouldn't it not really these boring things that we're doing um Sebastian says now I didn't ask particularly go on with your monologue well thank you for your permission I shall I shall continue with my stuff but you're welcome to chat

anyway because I can still talk to each other and say hello and you know because the as I was saying before you um joined us Sebastian I was saying that these um live let me bore you to sleep sessions are a lot different from the ones where I'm just talking to myself because you know I do sort of interact a bit John says I've got music rehearsals in the morning and the day the damn anxiety okay so you're trying to keep can you hear the sound of this laptop it's so loud I you can tell

when once it cuts off there's a big difference in sound and it keeps um turning itself off for some reason so if I miss anyone's messages I do apologize because the telephone screen is so small that I just about read it from here because the the phone's the other side of the table so yeah so I'm just uh I can't oh it's not supposed to be poking through my t-shirt so yeah the the the live ones a little bit more into it well this interaction because the pre-recorded let me bore you to sleep there isn't

really you know there isn't any interaction because it's just me talking but you know these ones are kind of still the intention is to be bored and and you know only watch or listen to this when you can safely close your eyes and I've been thinking I've been looking at YouTube videos I thought I'd check out YouTube because Sebastian mentioned it earlier in the day and I thought I'll check this uh I'll check this thing out looks might be interesting so I went to YouTube and you know I thought it was y-o-o but it's y-o-u

tube t-u-b-e so yes yeah it's quite a lot of stuff on there so I thought I'd check out the hypnosis stuff and I just been looking at the videos because I've made videos in the past but also made hundreds but I've made videos where there's been like pictures and moving images and things like that and I wanted to try and think of a way of making them a bit better so I've been looking at some of the more professional people that are making more professional videos and come over come up with a few ideas but

I'm not sure the thing is when you're listening to my stuff I'm guessing apart from maybe if it's live but if you're just watching it on YouTube you're be having your eyes closed I mean if you're watching this and looking at me then so John says any plans for Christmas Jason and streaming wise too Vera's joined hello Vera um John Christmas is uh just the same as any other year really I'll be here with Andre um and just let you know only if you do write any messages make them fairly short because other ones I

can't read the whole thing and also don't write anything that I can't repeat because it's a relaxation session it's a sleep session Sebastian is I'm not sure what you want out there so and so I'll perhaps read that later after the session finishes so Christmas I'll be here you know just be it's kind of uh oh Sebastian says he'll be seeing a real opera on New Year's Eve wow I haven't seen an opera since I was a child it's a long time I've seen them on television but I mean like in person I went to

a pantomime as an adult so I think I saw them when I was a child as well because I was living in the children's home for a few years and they used to take us to because I was living in Southend Nazareth House children's home run by Catholic nuns and we used to go to the uh the pier because it's got a big pier it's got a it used to be the biggest pier in the world I think at some point and they used to have lots of shows and stuff so I used to go

there I imagine we used to get in for free because we were little or we weren't little nuns but we were uh with with the nuns I think we weren't dressed um up or anything as nuns that would be weird we just dressed as normal not normal but just dressed like with clothes on and stuff um we didn't have like you know we weren't holding badges with orphan on it or anything it was just dressed as regular children so yeah I used to go I think once I went to see Jack in the Beanstalk Beanstalk

and I fell in love with Jack that was played by a girl and I don't know why I must have been fairly close to the action so I must have been fairly close to the stage but I did I kind of I remember I had a real crush on Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk in that uh pantomime or play or whatever it was another thing I saw was is it Black Swan I think I think I saw Black Swan as not Blacks what's the thing with the swans you know I think I saw something

like that maybe I was going to say maybe the Nutcracker but I was actually in a play at school called The Nutcracker and me and my friend Dean we were just playing kids and we were kids so it was quite an easy job really but we were we were just there on the set on the stage and we started laughing oh Sebastian says Swan Lake okay we started laughing and we just couldn't stop laughing and just in the fact you know that we were supposed to be serious because there was all these people parents and

everything was out in the audience watching it just made us laugh even more yeah that was fun I think I got banned I think I did get banned I wasn't allowed back on stage after that and so John other than just being here as you're probably aware I'm not I've not really been great at planning the live events and if I did something live like Christmas I don't know what it would be because I like to do the Let Me Bore You To Sleep I like to do something that's there's some reason behind it if

that makes sense Sebastian says I didn't get to read Sebastian's message sorry there's another message come up from Susan Curter hello your podcasts have put me to sleep had insomnia before you thank you Susan that's really kind of you to say so I'm glad not glad you had insomnia but I'm glad that um I was able to put you to sleep I suppose sounds like a weird sentence doesn't it Susan I'm glad I put you to sleep what what is which ones did you listen to or do you listen to Susan if you don't mind

me asking so it's always nice to have a little bit of feedback as to just if I'm going in the right direction or do you know what I mean if I'm sort of going in the right direction the reason I say that is I was online looking at some videos on YouTube and there was this YouTube video and basically all it said is watching this video will give you hallucinations I don't want hallucinations I don't know why anyone would but um John Kelly said are you looking at um are you looking at I'm a celebrity

getting me out of here no I'm not what time are you hitting the sack tonight I don't know I really don't know I'm just gonna I don't know what time it is now it's about six or seven just I'll be I'll do this until I'll probably be talking here for um about half an hour or maybe another hour uh soon says all of them let me put you to sleep also the one you did with the instrument I think called a metronome ah I'm going to click the yeah I like that metronome one and it's

uh I can't even remember if many people listen to it I don't know but I quite like that should tell you why I like it um is because I'm listening to it myself while I'm doing the recording although I can't do that with this microphone because I can't hear anything and but I was using I guess I was just using the normal headphones and stuff let's see if Andre wants to come and say hello Andre can't really shout it in that wouldn't fit in with the boring thing and what I liked about the metronome session

is I found that I was pacing my words with the tick tick tick tick you know so I was pacing what I was saying and so that was quite cool and I found it really helped me Susan says oh John says it's seven o'clock now thank you Susan says I have never seen a live session as in in Toronto and it's the afternoon here and I was checking Facebook so this is a a fluke nice to say hello thank you hi to you as well and I always upload the live ones so they go they're

uploaded automatically on Facebook when the thing's finished by upload to YouTube I also upload to my website jasonnewland.com so you can download all of my sessions I've got over 800 not 800 let me boy to sleep but 61 now including this you can download the video you can download the audio or you can stream the audio or you could stream the video on that on my website so everything's available and also upload all the audios that I do to SoundCloud and Spreaker those podcasts and then via there they are shared to iTunes iHeartRadio and Spotify and lots of other pod podcast grabbers that kind of grab stuff from my tunes so I'm not

on Google Play yet or Google Music but because that's not available in my country but when it is I guess I'll be on there as well yeah that's it that's a big long sentence I'm glad that the letting me boy to sleep is is useful that's really nice to hear okay Sebastian's going regarding listening to Queen yeah it's Queen this uh because Queen got a new uh there's a film out isn't there and uh I was never a big fan of Queen I like their songs I wasn't you know I think probably my favorite the

soundtrack to Flash Gordon absolutely loved that but then that was probably more to do with the film but I loved the soundtrack as well it's just everything to do with Flash Gordon I loved Susan says must run off now but will listen to this tonight thanks again okay thanks Susan and I appreciate you uh participating and also sort of let me know that what I'm doing is useful because I don't it might seem strange I know that I spend quite a lot of time talking about nothing seemingly on these sessions I also don't want to

do it for no reason if that makes sense so thank you um Sebastian really enjoying them very good and clever music yeah I've not I've not seen the film and I remember a while ago Sasha Sasha or whatever her name is uh was going to be potentially playing Freddie Mercury you know Borat Borat is it Sasha something Cohen a comedian and actor and the thing is he looks like him already before he even starts apart from maybe needs to change a little bit but I don't know it's uh I've got I know someone that watched

it and they loved it absolutely loved the film they said it was really emotional so I haven't done any recordings since it's been a few days Sasha Baron Cohen yeah it's been a few days and no particular interest and reason why I've just been really I've been focusing on promoting my podcasts and sharing them and it get and it's worked I'm getting a lot more listeners and downloads than I was you know two weeks ago so it's it's been it's been worth putting the effort in to do that it's very time consuming it's very it

just seems to take forever it's never done the website's never finished I've still got images I need to change over still things I need to change on the website and I still want to be creating new content as well so it's it's a balance I suppose Sebastian saying something um all right so session Sasha Baron Cohen didn't want to didn't want to do the film well I think it's been quite successful oh yeah I was uh what was I going to talk I'm going to America next year I'm coming to America as Eddie Murphy would

say and uh just listening to Andre probably be can you hear that in the background it'll probably be uh sort of maybe maybe maybe maybe may be may talking about may Tuesday we've got the old Brexit vote but hey let's not talk about that so I was thinking about what to do if I did ever come to America what would I like to do where would I like to go what what would be I suppose in some ways what would be my fantasy in a sense of what would be the perfect trip the perfect visit

and I would like to visit Phoenix Arizona and visit the I think there's like a museum dedicated to a Milton Erickson who is the probably the most famous hypnotist that ever lived pretty much I suppose other than Mesmer himself but that's uh but Milton H Erickson was uh an absolute legend so I'd like to go and visit maybe even meet some of his family I don't know just because there's an institute out there uh Milton Erickson Institute for Hypnosis where they do training and just it's sort of like one of my little dreams I'd like

to go out there and where else would I like to go I suppose there's the obvious kind of places you know like to New York that would be cool and I'd like to go to Boston where Cheers the the pub that Cheers was based on so that'd be cool what else I suppose maybe Hollywood um maybe what other places are there in America hi Bonnie thanks for joining um um Sebastian says tell us about Andre's uncle he's just he he's a polecat pretty much you know Andre's a ferret he's a polecat they're pretty much the

same species but one's a bit wilder than the other so Andre's less wild uh than uh his uncle but his uncle is very elderly now and he's not um he cannot yeah he's just elderly so him and Andre don't really get on but they're learning over the last few days to um put up with each other so I'm hoping I'm hoping that I'm going to come into the room and see them cuddling each other that's my little dream I'll be saying if I do I'll get a picture of that so look and where oh yes

Sebastian says and where Andy lives so yeah well if I go to America I'll be going to Massachusetts which is in Boston isn't it near Boston so if Andy it'd be quite cool to meet up go and go for dinner or something um but that'd be up to her I've not really spoken to her about it that'd be cool John says me to Jason New York yeah New York I know I mean some people go to New York for the weekend don't they from England so which uh my brother did that he just went over

there and just stayed for the day and then came back the next day but that's that's a lot of traveling there's a lot of uh I don't know I like to do things for a reason and I said that earlier as well I'd like to have a point to what I'm doing even if it doesn't seem like there's a point to others to me there needs to be a point to it so when I'm sitting in my big black squeaky chair over there and I'm laying back and the TV's turned off there's no music there's

no sound and it's just me sit laying there or sitting down backwards I'm not sitting backwards I'm sitting on my back and with my eyes closed it's like a meditation slash self-hypnosis uh slash mindfulness whatever you want to call it so there's a reason for why I'm doing those things I need to have a reason so I'll be going to America for a reason and I won't disclose that yet because it's not been sort of agreed officially what the timetable will be but you know I've been thinking how cool it would be if I could

get something organized where those people in America that like what I do that maybe have been following me for many years would like to come and sort of meet me so it's like a meet and greet kind of thing and maybe do a live relaxation session or something like that you know just like live in concert but I don't know how to go about that really Sebastian's like to go to Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco so you'd just like to basically go to all the states really it sounds where would I like to go

yeah I've got no I'd like to go to Canada as well I thought you know it'd be quite nice to while being in that part of the world to go to Canada and Mexico just to because I suppose my worries if I did go to Mexico I might not be allowed back into America I don't know so and I'm not sure how all the visas work as far as being allowed to leave America and go to Canada or Mexico or but that seems like it'd be quite a good opportunity to see three countries maybe not

see the whole of the countries but to visit three different countries in quite a short period because I don't know yeah I don't know we'll see so if there's anyone watching this listening to this after you know it's been uploaded and published or whatever if you would be interested in coming and visiting me meeting me or whatever yeah let's find out what I smell like because you don't know from the video do you I could be like proper pongy but I think I'm all right if you wanted to see me in person then maybe even

have a session like a group session group I've got to reword that a group relaxation thing then maybe let me know or post you know post a comment on here and we're possibly going to be doing maybe some relaxation sessions for some students possibly in Massachusetts so I do wonder Sebastian what is public new and new landering I'm just referring to a message that's just been posted from Sebastian Kainikos I've just found a nice receipt here oh just from the garage so let me think I suppose Texas would be a place because I used to

watch Dallas on telly and seeing all the ranches and just how massive all that land massive land maybe go and meet you know I don't know what's a sightseeing thing in America I suppose the Empire State Building you've got I'm trying to think so I know in Australia you've got the Sydney Opera House Parish you've got the Tower Pizza I think you've got Rome you've got the Pope so I don't know in America is yeah I suppose the White House um Malibu Miami yeah I used to watch Miami Vice so maybe go to Miami and

what's that what's that island that's American but it's not Hawaii maybe go to Hawaii maybe not on the trip but I'm just saying it's somewhere to go so John says really appreciate the time for you doing live streaming nice to hear you talking thank you it's uh I think I'd probably do more if I had more people watching when I did it live probably but one of the benefits of doing it live is there's less for me to do at the end I can just it's uploaded naturally and uh you know if I if I

record myself on a video it sometimes takes hours to upload to YouTube I'm talking hours and hours and hours and sometimes sometimes it's quite quick but it's you know the it's not this this takes a bit too long which means I can't do anything else with the phone while that's going on you know so we'll just see I'm hoping to to have a a decent iPad at some point which then means I'm going to be able to sort of sync the iPad the iPhone maybe do a bit more with the iPad that I do with

the iPhone perhaps even video stuff because I would like to also potentially potentially look to do some therapy or some counseling with people live you know maybe not I don't know maybe John says yeah uploading it's because really with the internet with the broadband Wi-Fi internet stuff they focus more on downloading that seems to be more the priority and they focus on download speed upload speed doesn't seem to be as important to the broadband suppliers so I think my download speed is about 35 megabytes a second roughly still it's not great but it's a lot

better than it used to be so I'm hoping to upload speed it's probably maybe eight megabytes a second maybe nine maybe seven you know so that's you think that's if I've got a video which is two gigabytes to upload that takes a lot of seconds many many many seconds so and even downloading the video from Facebook once it's you know uploaded and stuff like that to download that onto my laptop can take a good 10 15 20 minutes sometimes so it really just depends on it can depend on what time of the day it is

because because I'm up quite often I'm up fairly late so when America wake up or when they're perhaps most active the internet speed slows down here which is I don't know it's not great for me because that's when I'm doing a lot of my maybe doing a lot of my work maybe uploading stuff but in the past I mean I haven't uh I haven't needed to upload lots of stuff for a while just since uh really the only well recently I did with the podcasts but that's pretty much done now so Sebastian says I have

50 megabytes down I have 50 megabytes you get five about you five megabytes a second no you wouldn't get you get more than five megabytes a second that's you need I think at least five megabytes to stream Netflix I think they recommend recommend at least at least five or six megabytes a second so I'm not quite sure so megabytes megabytes is per second so if you're getting 10 megabytes a second or if you get one megabyte a second it means you're getting 60 megabytes a minute so 10 megabytes should be 600 megabytes a minute oh

I'm confusing myself now so yeah so if you've got let's say I've got 35 megabytes and I'm downloading something that's 100 megabytes it shouldn't take more than maybe four or five seconds to download but in reality it does sometimes take longer than that but I don't need things to download instantly but I suppose I'd like a bit more consistent consistency with knowing you know if it's 35 megabytes a second then let it be that or if it's 90 megabytes a second then cool you know just as long as I know where I am and then

I'd know that if I had a a two gigabyte file it's going to take 25 minutes to download instead of like an hour and a half on my you know present one so 10 megabytes would be a 100 megabyte connection see you've been a little bit too technical there I'm afraid we we don't get too much into all that stuff it's just what our download speed is and what the upload speed is so my download speed should be about 36 megabytes a second and my upload speed should be about about 10 megabytes a second and

for YouTube as you're right for YouTube is the upload is more important like that's for YouTube content developers people that produce videos those that watch videos as long as you've got a standard speed even the lowest speed should be fine with YouTube but you need to be you need to have at least probably five five megabytes a second to watch a YouTube video without it buffering so I've got much better upload than they've got got through yeah I've had less much less in the past so I'm on fiber broadband and it's it's okay it's okay

it's not you know it's it's a lot better than it used to be I mean think back five six ten years I mean broadband was it was great but it was still slow compared to now and the thing is it doesn't matter how fast the broadband is it's more to do with the traffic that's being used so you can have a 200 mile an hour car but if you're stuck in a stuck behind a car that's going 40 miles an hour it's not a lot you can do you know it seems to be that was

the whole thing about a broadband being like a big motorway but now more people have got it so the motorways now pull up that's me being technical I quite like the idea of going with Virgin because Virgin use their own fiber optic cables they don't rely on BT which all of the other companies do in my country but Virgin used their own and so it's supposed to be well apparently it's a lot quicker but it's also more expensive than the one I've got I have to kind of go for the cheapest option but one that's

also useful as well I mean I didn't go for the cheapest option because otherwise I'd be getting a lot less and they'd be capped you know the amount of gigabytes that I could use in a month would be limited to a certain amount but mine's unlimited so it's definitely worth having I was actually gonna stop with the company I was with I was gonna stop like cancel them when the contract finished and they said they asked me do you want to know how much usage you've had this month I said all right then and I'd

had something like I think 180 gigabytes worth of usage just in the last month this was a few months back I mean that might have been due to me uploading a lot of videos to YouTube and Vimeo and stuff like that because that does take up a lot of space well just the mp3s alone my mp3s are I think about 20 gigabytes worth of space just for the mp3s videos that's a different league altogether some of the videos are like three four gigabytes each most or less but you know it's still that's a lot a

lot of a lot of space yeah there was a time wasn't there you'd you have to pay I can't remember what it was when I first got the internet like bought my own paid for my own internet was back in probably 1999 probably and I don't recall having to pay extra for usage I don't recall it might well have been but I don't remember that and I pretty much tried to have unlimited whenever I could over the years but then with dial-up everything was so slow and that a lot of it didn't take up a

lot of data well it probably did at that time actually but there was less and you know there was no youtube there's no facebook there's no videos really to download there's it's a lot of it was just text on a page html just you know a few graphics a few like flashing graphics if you remember back in that time but John says I've got three kids that don't live with me yeah I'm just trying to see if I can click on the more bit to see what you said yeah Christmas can be an unusual time

there's a there's quite a lot of pressure isn't there to be a certain way at Christmas but I quite like the build-up to Christmas quite like the you know I can't comment on every comment I get due to the fact that you know the kind of session that this is and being a sort of a boring sleepy session but yeah Christmas is I don't really celebrate it if I'm honest I see family for like one one day for like maybe it's usually like a couple of weeks before Christmas have our family get together or something

and I come Christmas I've got Andre with me and just chill out I'll try and just relax and make a few phone calls and John I think I probably will come on there maybe I will make a Christmas Christmas video maybe like Christmas live broadcast my live broadcast maybe maybe I will but yeah I don't I don't you know I'm used to I'm never alone because I've got Andre with me but yeah I'm not I don't have a girlfriend and I've not really I don't have much like company or anything I don't really see many

people but I don't mind that it's uh I'm okay with that actually I'll tell you what I do like to do Christmas I like to go so wherever I'm living at the moment I'm living here and but I've lived in lots and lots of different places over the years I like to go to the busiest road and just stand in the road and twirl around because there's no traffic nobody to be seen it's great obviously I don't twirl around if there's cars coming but there's something about going to like a main road when it's because

I've got one here and we've all I suppose we've all got a main road near where we live maybe that just traffic constantly like all the time maybe so I like to do that and sometimes sometimes I do a bit of tap dancing so yeah I just um watch a bit of telly I think you could do something that you enjoy doing every day and even if it's just for a short period whether it's writing a book doing a jigsaw puzzle whatever it is like this the list is endless and we've all got our own

things that we enjoy and I like talking about nothing for an hour and you're making these things and working on the website and stuff like that you know it's just a case of just looking after looking after ourselves and remembering that it's just for one day or two days if you include boxing day and then everything kind of goes back to how it was and then you've got new year's eve usually people still working and then you've got new year's day and a lot of people maybe shops and stuff have the day off and everything

goes back to normal again so it's you know it's just a couple of days I just heard one of my neighbors sneezing that's proper loud proper loud sneeze really loud so yeah I don't know how long I've been talking on here for I get a little bit lost of the time when I'm talking and there's people online talking to me or leaving a few comments and I can't I can't reply to all the comments because as I said earlier some of them are not they don't fit in with the Let Me Bore You To Sleep

theme as it were but I do appreciate you know the contribution and I do I am acknowledging I'm acknowledging that I've read what's been written and I do sort of I hope that that makes sense to those that have posted something and maybe I haven't directly addressed what has been written and commented but you know it doesn't because this isn't just a sort of a random chat if you know what I mean it's a more based for people that like to doze off listening to my super exciting voice so John Kelly says you're on one

hour so yeah that means it's time to bring this to an end I think an hour is I try and aim my sessions for an hour each the the or you know the Let Me Bore You To Sleep ones but other sessions I don't know it depends I've got more of a tendency to do longer sessions nowadays I very rarely do short sessions I went through a period where I used to do like 10 minute sessions and I'd do a video every day and it was 10 minutes long and and although they were I think

the content was pretty good in some of those I'm not really necessarily a I'm not a pamphlet as it were you know I'm kind of a big long boring book it's a I don't get to the point perhaps maybe not perhaps I just don't seem to get to the point but then in these let me boil to sleep sessions there is no particular point other than just relaxing and letting go and not getting caught up in thoughts that may get in the way of you getting in touch with that that safe place you know that

that part of you where you can go to where you just feel good for no good reason you just feel calm and relaxed and safe you can literally look out on the world and not be affected by it that's kind of what these things that I'm doing here now is about it's about allowing yourself to just let go and on that note I'm gonna let go I'm gonna go and do something else bye
