#302 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (15th January 2020)

Hello, welcome to jasonnewland.com and this is my name is Jason Newland. This is let me bore you to sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

Yeah and if you please go to my website and if you like what I do leave a review and maybe help towards running costs. That's jasonnewland.com and I've been working on it. Working on oh it's just like a never-ending never-ending thing.

So since I last well yeah I think I think it was yesterday or the day before I uploaded my self-development recordings. There's 71 and recordings there that you can stream free and download. And today or yesterday and today I've been uploading self-help under 10 minutes long.

And there's um 137 recordings there that I'm in the process of uploading. That's 20 hours 21 hours and 14 minutes. So that's quite a lot.

So it's that's going to take a while to do that. Hmm I wonder how much time the self-development ones go on for. 44 hours and 23 minutes for that podcast.

So basically I'm going to be uploading. I don't know where I started this because it's just takes forever. Um so the self-help under 10 minutes long that when I've done that um there's the self-help for 10 to 20 minutes long which is there's 56 files 66 56 recordings then between self-help 20 to 30 minutes long there's 42 recordings 30 to 4 minutes long and there's 24 recordings 40 to 6 minutes long there are 24 recordings and over one hour long there are nine recordings.

Then there's the requests and there are according to this 24 recordings. Some of those will overlap with the 71 that I've already uploaded but I'm going to I'm just going to categorize them to make it a little bit easier. I'll just be interested to see how so yeah it's um according to this it's 317 recordings and just over five gigabytes just over five gigabytes just for that.

Now I'll be interested in knowing how many how many gigabytes the um sleep hypnosis these let me bore you to sleep 26.

9 gigabytes so how many recordings are on there uh let me bore you to sleep 432 files how can that be right why would there be that many oh okay yeah that was a bit uh I'm not quite sure why I did that it's not it's actually if I delete that because I had them in files as well for some reason so I delete all of them do you can turn those are too long for yes okay so I'm just gonna delete that right so the amount I've actually got in there in this file is

223 recordings and that comes to 14 gigabytes so there's another 80 recordings to go in there yeah so that's fine um what's it doing cancelling let's just get out of that anyway that was boring that really was boring so just you know again say thank you to those of you that are that have been listening to my recordings yeah again yesterday had another good day and stats wise um I had according to this although I think it's it normally goes up once they've actually correlated it but according to this yesterday Tuesday the 14th of January

2020 I had 3917 downloads the day before on Monday the 13th of January 2020 4365 downloads and Sunday I had 2645 downloads so it's go but then yeah what was that the 12th but the day before that I had 2926 the day before that 3571 the day before that 3629 so you know it variates variates but it's definitely an upward spiral so that's quite good I like it when it's around the 4000 mark it makes me feel a little warm and tingly inside so just to let you know because you know I'm big on the

older stats I'm now we've got just nine and a half thousand off of hitting the 100 000 mark for this podcast so we're currently at 90 488 downloads so let's keep going pals come on we can do it we can do it we can get it done we can we really can so yeah that's groovy listeners what does that say I'm confused by the listeners because they're saying there's less listeners than there are downloads I'm just a little bit confused by that I don't understand it because these recordings last an hour long people aren't going

to be listening to them more than once or maybe they are I don't know um anyway that's that so what I've got to say before I actually start it's been very windy today I love the wind I don't know what it is I suppose it's because because I enjoy producing my own wind so I appreciate nature's wind it's it's just fantastic I just I like nature I don't necessarily like being out in it but you know it's a bit like I quite like uh prison documentaries I don't want to be in prison but uh you

know like this I like I kind of think of my window as being a big television but at the moment the curtains are drawn but I've got the sound I've got the sound of the wind and it's an old building that I live in it's very like post-war post-second world war and you could say well every building is post-second world war isn't it even one that was built yesterday fair enough but this is this was built probably in the 50s so it's yeah it's probably it's older than me and that's saying something and you know

what I know it's weird but it's not that weird because someone said it on Facebook the other day and I completely agree they said she wished she could take pack up her flat her home and move it to a different place somewhere that she wants to live somewhere yeah but she wants to keep her home and I feel the same I'd like to take this flat and Andre and everything in the flat there's not a lot in here but it's my stuff and I'd like to move it to Torquay I've got a little I've got

a little thing about Torquay or Wales now I don't want to be too far away from the hospital just for practical reasons as I get a bit older and stuff I don't want to be I don't want to be right in the sticks in the middle of nowhere like I am now I'm so far away from anything it's ridiculous but you know it's I think if someone was living in the city they're moving somewhere like where I live would be a really nice change of pace it's very it's all countryside around here mind you the

whole of this country is countryside even the cities are surrounded by countryside some of the city you've got countryside in the cities we're just we've got we are just one big countryside hence the word country with and we've just built stuff knocked trees down and built stuff and grown food and then well we got fed up and we decide we don't need to grow food anymore even though the population's gone up hugely and we can't you know can't actually uh self-sustain we're not able to look after ourself for food we have to buy it from

other countries so we have to rely on other people but you know we build build on that land anyway so that we've got more houses and stuff oh that's a very social there's a new thing I don't know if you've known about this it's I'll read it I'll read it to you and it's something that I've been hearing because I listen to talk radio quite a bit it's uh they've started talking about this and it's a word called woke right so woke this is the definition this is the what does the woke what does woke

mean woke means being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice in mainstream use woke can also more generally describe someone or something as being with it so if someone says someone says to you I'm woke it means they they're kind of big up in themselves they're kind of you know I'm really with it I'm really aware of social issues and stuff and I've noticed that people seem to be using it more I've noticed and there was even a guardian and there's actually the guardian I was reading this in the

guardian and this literally just as I looked at it there's this the more this is the headline the more the word woke is used as a slur and a joke the more we need it and and it's by the time we got our heads around what woke was it felt like it was going to end up as the political correctness gone bad it was meant to counter but I've changed my mind says Chitra and says woke how do you react to this four-letter word with an eye roll that actually it's a question mark with an

eye roll cynicism or the exhaustion that comes with checking your privilege ceasingly when everything is a potential culture war and the world teeters derver to the right as someone who's been writing a column that claims to be wide awoke let me tell you this a year ago I loathed the word woke was like a badge that people seemed suspiciously keen to pin to themselves it said look at me and the work I've done on myself by the time we got our heads around or heads around what woke was in essence a pledge to stay vigilant

to oppression that rose alongside the black lives matter movement it felt as if it had already been co-opted pepsi ads woke guides to christmas on and on by the time we hit peak woke by the time we hit peak woke it felt like it was going to end up as the political correctness gone mad it was supposed to counter which is what she said at the beginning this isn't an essay you don't have to sort of that's what you do an essay isn't it give a little little synopsis at the beginning what I'm going to

talk about and over the past year I've changed my mind I find myself defending the word the more woke is used as a slur joke or shorthand to mock the hypersensitivity of the left the more we need it we needed to keep debating subjects in shut down we needed to remind ourselves that debates shut down in the first place because they don't want or they don't start on an equal footing one person's intellectual explorations another another's marginalized life we needed to understand the subtle difference between being an ally or ally and speaking on behalf of

others we need it to shut up and try listening so basically I kind of I'd not even heard of it until recently but then I'm 49 I'm not really supposed to know about oh I don't know am I I mean I go on Facebook I don't spend huge amount of times on there but most of the people on my Facebook pages are adults as it not adult all of them are adults but they're all um you know I would say pretty much all of them or most of the people on my Facebook above 30 some

are some in their 20s but most are 30 some got lots in their 40s lots in their 50s 60s 70s whatever so I've not I've not seen any posts using this term but this lady Chitra Ramaswamy she actually her page is called Wide Awoke so it's on the Guardian and it's in the life and style section so check it out it's Chitra Ramaswamy so it's C-H-I-T-R-A-R-A-M-A-S-W-A-M-Y and you can check her out on um what's the little bird the little blue bird thing Twitter at Chitra so it's C-H-I-T-G-R-R-L so I thought I'd just let you know

that just in case because as I'm reading a little bit out of her thing I thought would give you a little bit of information about her so you can check her out and everything and see I think what it is is this how I came around how I came about reading about this is there was an article and I'll read a little bit of this actually uh in fact I can actually give you I remember because I wrote I read it yesterday Doctor Who too woke okay I didn't understand what what I was reading but

then I found it too woke nope Doctor Who is more offensive than ever that's the headline and again it's the Guardian and basically it's talking about putting people in a role that it's gone it's I have to be careful how I say this but for example putting a okay so putting a Chinese a Chinese lady in the role of Hitler in a movie or television show it's that kind of situation where um it's put why why make why why can't we give that actress or that actor rather the actor a role they deserve it as

if they are good at the role they can um look good in a moustache or whatever and they is that and then now they're that's kind of woke but too woke apparently where they say it's just getting ridiculous where it's too politically correct and it's starting to look silly where it doesn't make sense um oh I've just received some a PayPal gift from Mary thank you that's very kind of you thank you very much and so yeah it's um it says here since returning with a female doctor which has annoyed people for some reason some

people I mean I don't see I think it's about what we know isn't it that's all it is if we'd grown up if the fans of Doctor Who had grown up and the doctor had always been a woman a woman or women because there'd been so many and suddenly they put a man in as the doctor there'd be just as much uprising it's just as much criticism guaranteed it's just people get used to things don't they and but then he's saying they're making a big deal because the doctor who returned last week with another first

Sasha Dewan's casting as a first person of color to play the doctor's arch nemesis the master well why why would it matter that's what I don't understand why would it matter and it's a fictional character the doctor who's a fictional character it's not a real person you know do you remember do you remember Mini-Me you know Mini-Me unfortunately passed away but Mini-Me from the you know the films brilliant he was on um the English Big Brother and he was so funny ah just anyone that didn't anyone that didn't fall in love with him I can't

understand why he was just so he was just lovely and he's one of those few people that I really would have liked to have met because just he just he was just I would say adorable because he was little it wasn't that he was just funny and he was adorable because he was little but it wasn't just that it was he was funny he was really funny anyway and he check that out on YouTube if you ever if you're not from England go onto YouTube and just put in Mini-Me on English Big Brother and it'll

show you some clips of him there's one bit where he's on his trolley you know the motorized um not wheelbarrow um not go-kart the thing that he he sit on and he drive around on it and he was he was using it to try and ram down one of the doors to the diary room literally he went for about 100 yards and bashed right into it absolutely brilliant it was just it was so funny and so yeah but if you if you got him and has anyone ever seen Stephen Merchant he co-wrote The Office with

Ricky Gervais he's been in quite a few films uh Hello Ladies was a HBO show that he was in and he's had his own stand-up specials as well called Hello Ladies he's got glasses and big smile and he's about seven foot tall now if we i think that would be an example of too woke if um we you casted him as the role as of Mini-Me in Mini-Me's life story because even though he he may be the greatest actor in the world and you could say well why shouldn't he play him it's reality is it

just wouldn't make sense just like Stephen Merchant or just like Mini-Me playing playing Hitler or playing Churchill although they did kind of both look like babies but if you know do you see what i mean it's yeah if it's a fictional character what does it matter if it's a real life person that they're trying to um portray in a film then they try and get the person to look like the person don't they uh i'll tell you a good film you want to watch or you don't you might not want to watch it but it's

worth it it's uh Stan and Ollie um Lauren Hardy it's their life story but it's more about their comeback so it's start it's really good it's a really good film it's got Steve Coogan and right O'Reilly oh i forget his name um but he's big star in America and he was in he was in Brothers or Brother-in-law the comedy with i don't know these different people but they've got them dressed up and with the the makeup prosthetics or whatever it is and they look so much like Lauren Hardy it's ridiculous and Steve Coogan is a

master impressionist he's absolutely an amazing impressionist he's i know i mean i'm sure people in other countries know who he is but he's a massive star in this country because of mainly because of Alan Partridge more than anything else even though he's been in loads of movies um Welcome to the Museum or you know those those films and not Driving Miss Daisy but what's the other one where because there's two famous films in there Driving Miss Daisy where it's kind of based on a relationship between a chauffeur and the person being chauffeured around but in

the other one Steve Coogan's a chauffeur and there's another lady that's being chauffeured around and they both got nominated for Oscars but i think Driving Miss Daisy did win an Oscar didn't it if not more than one and of course i've got the internet here i could check it out but i can't be bothered it involves stretching my hands out so yeah too woke but i can't use that expression really with anyone that i know because i don't know anyone that would use that expression i try and kind of match the people i'm around in

a sense because it's not that i've got a larger vocabulary i couldn't think of the words i'll say there's a lot of vocabulary it's just you know if i start using i could use words specialist terms to do with counseling or to do with therapy or to do with hypnosis or technical terms with websites and stuff like that with friends and they won't know what i'm talking about because they're not into that stuff but at the same time they can talk about you know use technical words for their stuff so whatever they do i don't

know i'm sure they do something i don't really listen to them but they don't do what i do so therefore i'm not interested yeah so that's what too woke is that's what woke is and too woke now i've not watched doctor who really for years i used to watch it when i was a kid and and i've i have noticed that the old the term too woke could be applied with quite a few things recently that i've seen on telly where due to the cultural situation at that period in that country's history that particular person

would not be doing that particular job so i've been very vague with that one but it's like if this is really going to be trying to be a historically correct film or tv show then it just seems that we should keep it historically correct but then maybe not i don't know i don't really care enough about it if i'm honest oh look i'm just trying to look for some nice news but i'm clearly looking in the wrong place oh vince fawn vince fawn oh vince fawn how dare you know what i dare well not dare

but any person in any country who's a sporting event and the president or prime minister or leader czar whatever of that country goes to shake their hand or goes to shake your hand you're probably going to put your hand out to shake in some countries if you didn't do that you possibly might not be seen again so you know it's not always a good idea to be rude to the leader of the country but from another side since fawn was there it could have been anyone to put their hand out and our natural reaction is

to put a hand out to shake their hand it's an inbuilt thing that we learn from a very very early age it's automatic even it's someone you don't know so i'll put the handout on nice you know and you put your hand out automatically now if it's a really important person and you've got cameras on you and you're a famous person chances are you know it was kind of in a no-win situation wasn't he if he just if he blanked the president he would have had loads of people giving him grief but by being nice

he's had loads of people giving him grief so i do wonder though is that really what the newspapers are focusing on in america i'm sure they're not but that was it was all over the internet yesterday and i'm thinking because i don't know what the newspapers in the us of a are focusing on because i'm not there and so i you know we get different news here and it's there's and there's one ongoing story obviously that's going to be there but um yeah i wonder if uh vince vaughn is popular over there at the moment

and then you've got stephen king faces backlash over comments on oscar's diversity that's it that's all i had on that so that's woke that's what woke means apparently wow dr who today or yesterday they've actually got um this is the daily star they're saying the headline is dr woke oh wow let me have a look what that says or am i able to get into it some of these things dr woke yeah the starred fan claims time lord is getting too preachy i accept okay dr who fans are worried the sci-fi series is turning into

an eco warrior style sermon in sunday's episode about climate change the doctor judy whittaker and her pals landed on a dead planet called orphan 55 however in a twist they discovered it was earth in the future and the time lord warns her companions unless people face facts and change catastrophe is coming now fans of slam show boss chris chibnall for turning the program into a preacher's playground one fan tweeted i used to quite like dr who when it was about science fiction i wonder what that social issue the doc will be tackling next i did

that at the side of my mouth i was quite pleased with that casting another posted omg the doc's getting political chibnall came under fire in 2018 during his first season as show boss why is that not going across oh it does that's good well many did not like the fact that for the first time the doctor was being played by a woman and they felt that the casting was too pc by hiring a black actor an asian actress and a middle-aged white man tossing kill mcgill and bradley walsh by the way that middle-aged white man

is a very very very famous tv personality he's uh i don't know the two actors but he's he's got a tv show again for those that aren't in this country he's got a tv show called the chase and it's on you know five nights a week sometimes at weekends as well with celebrities as it's one of the biggest shows on telly so it's not just some random the way they're putting him chibnall said in the week after rosa aired we were deluged with calls emails letters from parents and kids we've got videos of kids shouting

the tv going go rosa the bbc declined to comment there was about a story called rosa about oh blimey i've got no idea mind you this is quite a good little thing press reader pressreader. com let me have a look see what this is because it's almost you literally go onto it but you can move the page the same way as you would with a tablet but on a laptop of course it can't touch the screen but i can you can move it along with the with the um what's it categories categories animals and pets art oh no no it's not working oh again you move it up and up computers and technology design kids and tweens for men for women gaming health and fitness lgbtqmnrstuv and photography religious religion and

49 a month that's interesting so it's uh there's pointless going to that then so i might as well get out of that yeah well what i was actually i haven't really started the recording yet what i wanted to talk about woke swear down what i wanted to talk about was um television shows from the 70s or from my childhood but i thought i'd start in the 70s so i think i'm gonna start with what shall i start i've got subcategories i'm on wikipedia.org pretty so there's a limit this is 1970s british animated television series you're

right andre no he's going for a little wonder 1970s british anthology television series 1970s british tele children's television series then you've got british comedy television series british crime television series documentary drama game shows legal television series i wouldn't be watching that when i was in the 70s british lgbt related television series in the 70s okay well are you being served is in that and it had camp man but it had nothing to do what he didn't i mean he was he was

gay but he he wasn't allowed to be gay in the tv show because it was illegal back then in the 70s i'm pretty sure let's have a look when did being gay become legal in the uk okay let's have a look timeline when did being okay here we go let's have a look let's have a look let's have a look uh so oh no i'm wrong i'm very wrong oh no wait a minute um why are they not if some of these articles they don't give the exact stuff right there's the sexual offense that came

into play in 1967 there was still stipulations played on gay men's freedoms okay so you had to be over 21 to be gay in the uk but that was 1967 so it wasn't it was illegal but it was just not until 1967 and then it was still five that was still five years older than the age of consent for straight couples which was 16 in england it only reached as far as england while the scotland not following suit until 1981 and northern ireland 1962 so in 2000 the age of um consent legalized was the same

and yeah okay so yeah in 2000 the um or the the men in parliament and the house of lords they all got together and they voted on lowering the age from 21 to 16 oh to i think it was 18 i think and then but anybody they got to lower it to 16 i thought it was more recent than that and this is a really badly written article it just doesn't give the so 1967 was when it was legal but anyway so it was 2000 apparently i thought it was a bit later but 2000 the

um the men the old men in parliament and house of laws got together to vote on reducing the legal age from 21 or from whatever age it was to 16 and apparently it was the quickest vote that they've ever put through it was it was put through very quickly and there was a very a lot of very happy happy parliamentarians that day so yeah they seemed really happy i guess that they'd uh they were happy that they'd helped a lot of people to live their lives how they wanted to so i guess that's why they

were so cheerful and yeah okay wow does make me wonder if i know 1966 1967 2004 another milestone is reached with the civil partnership act 2004 which allowed same-sex couples to legally enter into binding partnerships similar to marriage the subsequent marriage was 2013 and then um yeah so that was 2013 and then scotland it was 2014 and 2000 northern ireland does not allow um does not have marriage equality in law um i find that quite interesting what's going to talk um agony what about a british sitcom aired on itv from 1979 to 1981 made by

london weekend television it stars maureen litman as jane lucas who has a successful career as an agony aunt but whose own personal life is a shambles it was created by lynn richmond and real life agony aunt anne rayburn both of whom wrote all of the first series the second and third series were written by stan hay and andrew nichols agony was the first british sitcom to portray a gay couple as non-camp witty intelligent and a happy people so i'll tell you i said you should see but you shouldn't really but there's some really really dodgy

stuff in the 70s sitcoms and stuff and let me have a look let me read some of them for you can you hear him he's making as much noise as he can he's like a petulant child i don't know what he wants though he's got food he's got everything he needs perhaps it's not my attention right now so some of you have never heard of albert and victoria never heard of that the alan stewart tapes never heard of that and of green gables sounds familiar but i don't remember it as good cooks go and these

are comedy shows british comedy television series b okay bachelor father nope beryl's lot nope big boy now i have no idea what that was about sounds like she's black and blue and bless me father bless this house i think that was sid james from the carry on films uh i used to i have seen that andre's licking my leg what are you doing mate are you all right just had to grab the boy you're licking my leg so you clearly want my attention don't you you all right baby that's my little boy just have a

little rest so bless this house i know that one bloomers nope bowler no the cannon and ball show yeah that was one of my favorite shows when i was a kid i didn't think that was the 70s i thought that was the 80s it probably crossed over between 70s late 70s and early 80s carry on laughing yeah i used to watch that in the 80s though so and the 90s to like reshown that and there's basically clips from the films casanova 73 don't know that chalk and g's don't know that one charlie's grants nope nope

a class by himself nope the comedians not at the time it was 1971 so i was one years old i was proud of myself i'm having quite a good sense of humor but at one years old i probably wasn't quite uh my brain hadn't developed enough what are you doing baby what are you doing i can't stop kissing you because you're so cute yeah you're my mini me yes you are what do you say you think that they a lion should play you in your life story of andre a lion why what because it'd be

woke because you're woke and you want it you want a lion to betray you oh okay you think that might be a bit too woke okay you go off and do your thing uh the comedy playhouse nope comedy premiere no the cuckoo waltz no culture virtues vultures no doctor at large i don't remember seeing that at the time but i've seen it actually i don't know i did used to watch it but i don't know if it was the 70s or 80s doctor at sea no don't remember that doctor in charge no doctor on the

porridge and it was a tv show after that and then so i did watch that but i think probably in the 80s the goodies tv show yeah i used to watch them goody goody goody gum gum loved that show it's very funny happy ever after british tv series nope oh i don't know it sounds familiar hark at barker nope hello cheeky don't remember that how is your father quite innuendo-y kind of names aren't they the howard confessions nope i didn't know you cared nope in love and memory yeah i remember that i think in the

looking glass no the innis book of records the innis book of records not the guinness book of records if it's a comedy i don't know it ain't our fault mom now that's a hugely famous sitcom from that era which is i don't think well they couldn't play it on television now due to the content it's a very uh very unwoke content it will be all right on the night well that's been going for about 50 years they started that i think before television even started which don't make sense it's awfully bad for your eyes darling

so i don't know what that's about joker's wild i rec i remember the title but don't know the tv show keep it in the family i'm not sure the kenny ever a video show again if you don't know who kenny ever is oh you gotta check him out man he was hilarious the last of the baskets nope i'm going back to kenny ever he used to he used to have these characters he was a radio dj and it's very funny but then he got his own tv show and it uh yeah and just brilliant and

the weird thing is i never heard him on the radio when i was a kid but i remember but i used to when i was yeah i suppose late 70s i used to do impressions of him so i remember being on the beach in wales probably about nine years old with my brothers and going oh come on the best possible taste so just not here just doing all the sort of the characters and then in the 90s the early 90s i used to work in this place and they had the radio on all the time
