#393 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (8th May 2020)

Hello, welcome to jasonnewland.com with the sound of the pigeon in the background. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes and you can possibly hear the birds in the attic as well.

So yeah, and you've also got the squeaking chair. I'm sitting in my big, black, squeaky, old, decaying chair. But you've also got the background sound of Andre waking up suddenly.

It's very strange. Honestly, he's been asleep for ages. As soon as I press the record button on this thing, he's up.

I'm literally, it's almost, what's he doing now? Anyway, it's Friday. So yeah, only listen when you can safely close your eyes, if I haven't already said that. If I have already said it, I just listen whenever you want, really.

Oh, that was a noisy thing. Before I start, I've got to do a shout out. So this is a new thing I'm doing.

I suppose everything we do is new, isn't it? But it's a shout out. Oh, I whistled. It's a shout out to Charlie.

So I got contacted by someone called Emily on Facebook to ask me to give a big, big, it's not going to be a loud one because I don't want to start shouting because it would be weird. Probably no weirder than anything else I do, but I want to just give a big shout out to Charlie and just say, hope you well, thank you for listening. And that's it, really.

I don't know what else to say. Hello. Hello, Charlie.

Hi. And I'd also like to give another big, big shout out to Susan. And yes, that's, that's it.

So there's two people or three people that I'm giving a shout out to. If you would like me to say something, I can say hello or I can wish someone happy birthday or whatever. I do generally try to do these recordings every day.

Let Me Bore You To Sleep. So you can contact me on my Facebook, or you can send me a message directly by email to Jason Newland at hotmail.co.uk. And I will do a shout out on the next recording that I produce and say hello and send a message. So it could be a message like Rebecca, I love you.

Being with you for the last 700 years has been the most wonderful experience of my life. I don't actually remember meeting you because it's such a long time ago. And I do miss cuddling you because I know that if I did you would turn to dust because you're so old and so am I. But nevertheless, been 700 years of something.

So can you please give that message to Rebecca? Please, Mr. JJ. No, no, I won't. You can't make me do what I want.

Yeah, I can. I can leave messages. I can pass, not pass on messages.

I'm not your secretary. But yeah, I'm happy to I'm happy to say hello, because it's kind of like a little community here. A bunch of people that don't know each other and they're probably going to meet each other, don't talk to each other.

It's nothing like a community, is it? It's nothing like it's an audience. It's an audience. We've all got something in common.

We're all alive. That's one thing which is useful. Other than that, I don't know what else.

We all listen to me talking, except me. We all listen to these recordings, except me, because I don't listen back to them. I was here when it happened, you know.

It would be a little bit, you know, it'd be like filming myself cooking a meal and then watching it. Or cooking myself eating, not cooking, cooking myself, filming myself eating some porridge. You know how I like to talk about porridge.

Why would I want to watch it? I ate it. I ate the porridge and it was all eaten up. Like an itchy bum.

Didn't really need to say that out loud, did I? But yes, it is. I've been very productive today so far. Oh, yes, I have.

I have. See, what I did, I don't know if I mentioned it, I got Andre's cage out of the storage room and I put it into the corner of this room. And I really don't like putting him in it.

I don't. I don't like it. But I kind of forced myself to do it, because it's the only way I can comfortably make a recording without him disturbing me.

Even when I'm in the shed, I can still hear him scratching at the door and, you know, I don't enjoy the process. And for me, to make a relaxation session or a sleep hypnosis session, like a deep sleep or whisper ones or the sleep hypnosis weekly, I get into it. I really, really get into the recording and I'm basically asleep when I'm doing it.

And when I'm doing a relaxation session, I'm really, really relaxed when I'm doing it. And I can't, I can't do it otherwise. I can't just, I can't just say the words, unless I mean it.

If that makes any sense. I don't know if it does. So I can't, yeah, I couldn't just read off a script saying, now you are feeling sleepy, your toenails are sleepy, the hairs in your ears are drifting asleep.

And I can't, I can't dissociate myself from what I'm saying. I do, I get involved, I'll get right involved. And it's just the way that I've always done it.

I know these like sleepy sessions, you know, it's let me be with the sleep, but I do get bored when I do them sometimes. And I do nearly fall asleep sometimes. But generally, it's different.

It's a different kind of recording. As I'm sure you, if you've ever listened to any of my other stuff, you'd know, you'd possibly agree. In fact, I don't, yeah, imagine, it's very different, very, very different.

So today, the 8th of May, which is apparently it's a bank holiday. So I don't quite understand. I don't normally have, I mean, Friday, bank holiday Fridays normally only on Monday.

Oh, maybe it is. Oh, I thought bank holiday Friday was only on a Easter. And the rest of the bank holidays are Mondays.

But it's V-D day or something today. So it's, I don't know, I'm just a little bit confused. But anyway, I'm not that that's really relevant to anything that I'm doing.

But, you know, it's, I think normally, there's, especially where I live, because we're a garrison town. So there's normally parades from the, I think they're paratroopers around here. And they parade in the streets.

And when I say parade, I don't mean like pride. I mean, it's a, you know, they're marching and stuff. A bit like when I was in the Sea Cadets, except completely different.

I mean, I guess marching, I used to march in the Sea Cadets, I used to have a rifle. And apart from when I was in the band, which I was in the band, a fair bit, playing the drums or the bugle, or the clocking spill. It sounds like I'm making it up.

This is all true. Oh, dear. I kind of wish I was making it up.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I think the problem with the really bad quality television at the moment, where the news interviews with people using Zoom or Skype or their telephones is all we're getting is up-nose shots, a lot of nostrils.

Because you don't get that on a, you know, when the person's being interviewed on the telly next to the interviewer, the camera isn't like right up their nose, is it? So it's, I mean, I've made videos like that. I try not to, I don't make videos really anymore. But I try to get it so it's more the camera's facing down on me, so it's a little bit higher, rather than, yeah, just up.

It's not a great look. I think some people can pull it off, but not many. I can't.

I mean, if I've got the camera, I remember once I had the camera, and it was too close to my nostrils, and I breathed in, and I sucked the camera into my nose. Never found it. Never, never, never got it back.

It was actually a big camera as well. I didn't realize my nostrils were so big. Anyway.

What was I going to say? Yes, I did the shout out. Oh yeah, I did some recordings, and I thought, you know what I'm going to do? You know what? I didn't want, I kind of couldn't be bothered because of laziness, really. But at the same time, I'm well overdue doing a sleep hypnosis weekly.

And also, not as overdue, but I'm due to do a relaxation for stress and anxiety session, but an actual relaxation session. Rather, you know, because I do three different versions of that. I did relax, well, four.

I do the ones where I just talk about something. And I do the recordings, all in the same podcast, but I do recordings where I do a relaxation technique. And I'll talk through it.

And I'll go through the steps. And I'll do it with you as I do it as well. The third one is I do a relaxation session.

And the fourth one is basically the exact same session, but with music that makes it last about 52 minutes in the background. So there's four different versions of things I do. So today, or earlier today, about two o'clock or something, it's now 541.

Earlier today, this morning, I did, what did I do first? Oh, I did a sleep hypnosis weekly. Pretty good one, you know, I think. I am biased, but you know, I think it's pretty good.

I did a relaxation hypnosis for stress and anxiety. But it was a relaxation session, which lasted about 30 minutes. So the sleep hypnosis weekly lasted about 30 minutes.

The relaxation session lasted about 30 minutes. And I did a deep sleep whisper recording, which lasted about 22 minutes or 20 minutes. And what I've done is the sleep hypnosis weekly, I've uploaded them.

One's got background music, one hasn't. So there's two versions of it, which has been uploaded to my podcast, and also shared on Facebook. I've uploaded, or edited and everything, the relaxation for stress one, the relaxation session, both with and without music, so both episodes, and they've been uploaded and shared.

And I've also edited and uploaded the deep sleep whisper recording, and shared that on the various podcasts, and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube. So basically uploaded five recordings, three different ones, but two with additional music, plus this one, when this is finished. So I think, I think I might have broken my record for the amount of recordings I've done in one day, which will be or uploaded, which will be six.

Not really, because I've uploaded hundreds in one day, but that's, that's not ones I've just made. As you know, if I'm starting a new podcast, I'll upload old material, old, you know, archived recordings and stuff. So yeah, this has been, it's been a good, productive night shift, as it were.

So I'm feeling slightly pleased with myself, just slightly. And a good thing that I was a little bit worried about this, because I deleted a lot of my podcasts, the actual podcasts themselves, and just kept the popular ones. I say popular, the most popular of the ones I do.

And they get like six, six downloads a day each. But to me, that's, that's quite good. And I was thinking, what, is this going to reduce the amount of downloads I get and, you know, people listening? Because even though I had 48 different podcasts, but some of them, I'd get a few every day, some would get maybe 10, 20, 50, four, you know, just depended.

And because I got rid of nearly all of them, apart from just a handful. And I was thinking, Oh, what if, what if I go down to just like 1000 downloads a day, or something like that, it's going to be awful. But I haven't.

So it's, if anything, the downloads have kind of sort of gone up. There was initial surge, because I've been re uploading stuff, but now it's back to normal. And I'm getting, I can't believe he's talking about his stats again, always talking about his stats.

I, yeah, I'm getting like four to 5000 downloads a day. And that's without really producing much. You know, it's like producing one, maybe two a day.

And so yeah, I'm pretty, pretty pleased. It's in the website, I've now uploaded all of my recordings onto the website. Eventually, I managed apart from all the new ones, actually.

So I need to do that before I go to bed. So that's, that's going to be six recordings. But that's fair enough.

I can do that about an hour, I reckon. And that's, they're all uploaded now. It's all available to download either individually for all the main podcasts, or bulk for all the other stuff that I've got.

So yeah, I'm quite pleased with that. There's still a fair amount to do. But you know, this is what I've been spending the last two weeks doing.

It's, I'm never going to delete another thing ever. Because there's so much stuff. I've got so many recordings.

It's, it's, it's a real task to, to start to start from scratch uploading it. So I don't want to do that again. Hmm.

I'm just going to move this microphone away from the drink. So what I'm doing now on the website is, and I've started from the very latest, let me bore you to sleep, moving backwards. I've been adding the streamer, so you can actually stream and play the episode on the page, as well as you can download it through the website.

But you can also, and I'm adding a link with download, with a big red arrow, click on that and it will instantly download to your, your, your, whatever you're using, instantly downloads. You haven't got to give your name, you haven't got to give nothing. And I do like the idea of knowing who's downloading stuff, just so I know, not for marketing purposes, just so it just seems like it's more human.

Human? I don't know. But some people have sort of mentioned that they didn't, didn't like the process of, I mean, basically, if you sign up to the website, just sign up your details, you get a password and everything like that, which means you can download everything without having to put in any details other than just your password, you know. But now I'm doing it, on top of that, I'm doing it so that you can, anybody will be able to download any episode, apart from the bulk stuff, which is one click.

The bulk stuff, I can't do that because it's, the file's too big. So it's stored on the actual website server. Well, it's probably in the cloud, probably somewhere, but, and as far as the individual recordings go, they will all be available.

It's going to take a few more days, maybe another week before it's all done. But you'll be able to go to whichever ever recording that I've done, click on it. So let's say if you look at the latest recordings, click on Deep Sleep Whisperer 217, for example, click on that.

And you'll have the option to download it on the right hand side, which puts you, goes through the same process as normal. On the website, you put your details in, or you can go down and you can play it and stream it on the web, you know, play it there and then, or just a little bit below that player as a, there's, I'm just repeating myself here, aren't I? Just click download and it instantly downloads, doesn't ask you for nothing. So yeah, I thought that would be quite cool to do.

So the only difference is when you download it like that, it'll be, it won't necessarily tell you what it is, it should, but it won't be the same as, you know, if you do it the normal way, if you do it the, through the website way, then you get an email sent to your email and from me, and you know, it's from me. And, you know, sort of just in case you get lots and lots of, you might have lots of downloads and I have a tendency sometimes of losing downloads, but the option's yours. I'm trying to give as many options as possible.

You know, that's why I do so many different recordings. So it's, I think it's nice to have choice. It's just, it's a personal preference for me.

I just like to have choice and maybe you agree, maybe you don't. I'm still right. I'm still right, whatever.

It's just a personal preference. So I'm always looking at ways to make things easier for you, for the listeners as much as possible. So that's what I'm going to continue to do.

And I'm going to be making quite a few changes to make it more organized. I'm going to continue to try and make the website as organized as possible. That's my, that is my plan.

But in, you know, for the players, not for, by that I don't mean womanizers, players as in where you can play recordings, but like the playlist. I've got a playlist for all of my podcasts in the menu and none of them have adverts and you can have continuous play on all of them. So it's all groovy really, apart from if it's not, you know.

So I'm quite pleased, quite pleased with how it's coming along. There's a lot to do, so much to do. Oh, I'm also thinking about, I want to try and move everything I do to a tablet.

So I use a tablet instead of a laptop and start using the apps for editing. And I want to, I'm sort of been going on YouTube, learning how to use which are the best apps to use. But unfortunately they do cost money, the, but the good stuff.

But my plan is to improve the quality. I think the sound is fairly good and I use a tablet to record. So the sound is much better than it was with the phone.

And, but there are ways of, I forget what it's called, but you can get a connection which will actually allow me to use one of my really good microphones to do recordings as well. So I might look into that. So I've got, I think, one, two, what have I got? One, no, two, two good microphones, Rode, Rode microphones.

So yeah, I'm just going to look to see, to expand what I do, learn how to use the software, improve the editing, just do that stuff, but not spend too much time on that. But I suppose think of this as a business, think of this as, even though it's not a business, but yeah, have, try and get that mentality of this being a business, making sure that I produce the sleep hypnosis weekly recordings, weekly, and to be a bit more dependable. I do like that of myself, if possible.

So yeah, I'm going to look at, because at the moment I've got a YouTube videos, I always share all of my stuff onto YouTube. And there are hundreds of videos from the past where you've got my face on them, not just my face, I am actually talking as well. And there's a lot of old videos going all the way back to 2000, I don't know, whatever year it was, 2009, 2008.

The really old stuff isn't on there. But the, because I think they were actually in black and white, believe it or not. It's not because it was like the 30s, 1930s.

It's just because I had a webcam and the picture color was just really grainy. But in black and white, it was quite clear. So I thought, you know what I'll do? I'll do it in black and white.

And that's what I did. So it worked quite well. And what else? So I'm thinking, it's a part of me thinking, oh, maybe I should make a video, start making YouTube videos again, with my funny face on there.

But I don't like the way I look. I never did, but less so than before. It's just, I don't know, I think it's, and there's something about seeing myself on camera, when I'm recording myself, that is very distracting.

Very, very distracting. And so yeah, I don't know if I'm going to do that again, like on a regular basis. I might do the occasional Jason chats where I just, you know, like a vlog.

I haven't done one for a while. But what I'm thinking of doing is putting together a video. So making, turning the audio podcast into a video, but with graphics and animation.

So it's like swirling around, or some kind of sphere turning, or yeah, something really visually lovely to look at. And so I might, I have done stuff like that before I've created, but it wasn't really to my satisfaction. But I'm going to see if I can do this with a tablet, rather than with a laptop.

So instead of using heavy duty software, which doesn't really fit very well with the laptop, because it seems to be kind of on its last legs, unfortunately. I'm hoping to maybe, yeah, use the tablet and try and find the best way to use it, and to get the most out of it. And if I can do that, I can make a few videos and then just add the audio.

And I know that I'll get more, more people watching the videos, simply because it's a video, it has to have a visual component to it. At the moment, the, because I record my recordings, they're housed on Spreaker. So I upload, I share to Facebook, Twitter, and that.

And they're also shared with all the other major podcasts, hosts like iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Google, Thingamajig, you know, stuff like that. But I, when they're uploaded to YouTube, they're just like a static page, but with the audio. And it doesn't look very good.

It really doesn't. So what I'm thinking of doing is maybe starting to make some decent videos, but with the audio in the background. And again, I'm repeating myself in it.

So yeah, that's what I'm thinking of doing. But that's, uh, that's a process. It's a process to go through.

It's a learning curve. And it should be all right. It's just a case of learning, isn't it? So all in all, I'm hoping that the quality of stuff will increase.

The videos will, well, I just know that I'll get more views. Even though I look funny and stuff, and I've got a funny face, I would get more views of my videos than I do now, just because there's, they might not be very popular, but it's just because it's a, it's a movie. Well, not a movie, but a moving picture.

It's a video, which is what people expect on YouTube, not just a static page with audio. So yeah, I'm going to look into that. I mean, I don't know how many, I don't get many people watch my videos anyway on YouTube these days.

I mean, I feel I get about 1500 a month, you know, views, which is really low. I get, I think I've got about 400 subscribers. So, and it's taken me, yeah, probably two years to get that.

This, this is a new channel, but it's two years old, I think. So it's not, um, it's very small growing. I put no energy into it and no effort to the YouTube channel, but the quality of the content is fairly good, because it's all the recordings I make.

Oh, my fingers just clicked. So I'm going to see, see what happens. But that's part of my plan is to do that, to look into that and to make some decent quality videos and to learn how to do stuff on the tablet, because they are the future now.

I mean, well, they're the present as well, and sort of the past. But now I mean, the size of the storage size on tablets are like huge now compared to how they used to be. And yeah, they're just getting much better.

I'm gonna do so much more. And so yeah, I'm gonna try and learn. It's about time because at the moment, I'm still doing a lot of stuff that I used to do.

So I know how to edit, I know how to, you know, the audio and I record it and I edit it to a certain software that I use for that. This is all quite basic, really. And I do have video software, where I can make videos.

That pigeon has been following me around since 2010. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a baby pigeon. So I just, that's kind of where I'm going with that.

So I'm, I'm feeling fairly positive about how that will go. Because I reckon, if I make some decent videos, decent quality videos, where there's like a spiral, or it could be the cliched hypnosis spiral that's just turning, which I do have on a few videos of mine. And if it's done really nicely, that would actually, I just get a larger audience, so we just grow.

And it might sound strange, I just, I just know from experience, that that's what happens. Which I don't really understand, because all of my recordings, what's the first thing I say? I say close your bloody eyes. Well, not quite that, but only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

I wouldn't expect someone to be staring at me, or staring at the video. But maybe they do. Maybe, yeah, maybe.

So that's going to be my next little, well, it's not, I'm going to be watching videos, or how to do stuff, and sort of try to absorb that bloody pigeon. I've got the windows closed and everything, and at least I think I have. So I'll listen to the videos while I'm on YouTube, the how-to tutorials and all that stuff.

At the same time, I'll be working on the website, just getting everything updated, and all the recordings available to instantly download, and all that stuff. And then when I finish the website, I'll probably change the images as well. Although, I also want to learn how to make images on the tablet, because I can make them on the laptop.

I'd like to have a bit more creativity involved. I'm not sure what that was. There's, I mean, I changed all the images before I deleted lots of stuff a couple of weeks back, and I had the duration of each recording, and all that stuff.

So I'm thinking, I've got all those images saved, so I might just go back and replace the images again. So yeah, that would make sense to just do that. I think it's nice for people to know how long a recording is before they download it.

I'd want to. Yeah, I would. Yeah.

So I might do that, that'd be the second thing I'd do. Just have to, for me, I want to get all the, every one upload, or, you know, all the different uploads changed, so you can instantly download them. And then, then I'll do the images.

And this is so boring. Why am I talking about this? This is even boring for me. Oh, you talk about images and downloading stuff on your website.

I mean, surely, can't you talk about cutting your toenails or something? Because that's way more interesting than this. Well, let me tell you. I think I probably need to cut Andre's fingernails.

Because now that I'm putting him into his cage, he, any material that he sleeps in, or lays in, or whatever, he rips the bits. He digs into the, which means he gets caught, he gets his fingernails caught in the fabric, which is not very pleasant for him at all. So, you know, if I'm in the bedroom recording, when he's in the cage, I will hear if he gets caught, because he is very verbal in that situation.

He sends a little flare, SOS flare up, and I'll come in running in and go to help him, and he bites me, like, I'm trying to help you, Andre. It's ridiculous. He's just a little baby.

He's my little baby. He was demanding to be taken out today. Demanding.

And I spent all day in bed. And I got up, I had a headache for some reason, so I went back to bed, and eventually it went. And I took him out quite late.

And then, you know, he had me walking around, and I came back, and straight away was sniffing at the door, trying to get out again. I just got back. And come on, man.

I also want to say a big thank you to Gemma. Gemma actually contacted me and saying, offering me some PPE equipment. And that's very kind of you.

Thank you, Gemma. I did reply to you on Facebook, but I was going to do a shout out for you at the beginning of the recording. I just remembered just now, because I started thinking about my masks that I've not worn yet.

Weird. I feel like a surgeon, honestly. I've only ever seen them on surgeons on, like, films and stuff.

Who's appendix can I remove? See, yeah, things are quite fairly okay, actually. In a weird, well, weird way, but in a squeaky chair kind of a way. I'm not even feeling that tired, really.

I'm partly, I don't know, maybe I did spend a long time in bed yesterday. But it was needed, you know, I just needed to. I think every hour or so, Andre would hassle me, jump on the bed and eat one of my ears, you know, the standard stuff.

But then I'd wake up, and I'd be there asleep on my bed. And what he likes to do is, he likes to go to sleep between my legs. And I'll explain this in a bit more detail.

So I've got, I'm underneath the covers of my quilt, and my legs are apart. Maybe I'll be, normally I'll sleep on my side, so my leg will still be apart, because they're not glued together. I'm not really sure what that means.

But he likes to sleep in the gap, which means when I go to turn over again, he goes flying. Sometimes I push him off the bed. I don't mean to.

Sometimes I do mean to, but you know, generally I don't. And he's asleep. And I think that happened today, because all I know is, he's walking off, he's saying, I'm going to get you back.

I'm going to get you for that. I didn't really know what he was talking about. He said that I've had enough now.

That's it. You've had enough chances, my son. So what are you talking about, Andre? He said, you know what I'm talking about.

So, you know, he's been pretty good. The best time to put him into his cage is when he's asleep, because he just, if I pick him up when he's asleep, he just lays there floppy. Doesn't even wake him up.

He kind of opens his eyes, looks at me, and I put him into his hammock. He's got a hammock in his cage. And again, he just looks at me.

And so I just closed the doors of the cage, closed the door here in the living room, closed the kitchen door, closed the bedroom door, open it up, go in and close it again. And I just sat down on my bed and made the recordings and I didn't really hear him at all. And I came in, I turned the light off when in here as well.

So when I came in, I turned the light on. I opened the door first, then I turned the light on, because my hands don't go through, don't go through wood or brick. And he's just laying there half, half on the hammock, half off the hammock, just fast asleep.

I opened the door of the cage at the top. He looks at me like, oh, see, he goes to get off half-heartedly. And I just pick him up.

It's almost like his brain wants to get up, but his body doesn't. So I pick him up, give him a cuddle, give him big kisses and stuff. Then I just let him on the floor and that's it, he's done.

So I'm going to leave the cage open if he wants to go, because he likes to go in and out of there. It's almost part of his patrol. I've seen him go in there.

He just goes in, goes to the top, looks around, looks out of the door at the top, looks around and then comes out again. So it's like another room, because he does that in the kitchen and in the bathroom, in the bedroom, comes in and just checks everything's okay. It's like a little security guard, yeah, security guard.

So yeah, it's, wow, I'm quite, yeah, I'm quite pleased with the recordings. I do wonder how I'm able to make a recording without any preparation or any idea what I'm going to talk about or any script or just anything, just, you know, just I wonder why I'm able or how I'm able to do that. I don't know.

Must be a part of my brain's just developed that way after many years of doing it, maybe. That might, that might just be what it is. I suppose it's similar to people that can hold their breath for quite a long time when they go diving for pearl necklaces and stuff.

You see it in the documentaries and they can dive for and hold their breath for a long time. But it's, they've just been doing it for a long time. They don't, kind of almost have forgotten how not to do it.

It just comes naturally because that's what they do. So maybe just talking, whether it's these recordings or the hypnosis-y stuff, maybe they've just been doing it for so long that it's part of me now. It's, yeah, maybe that's what it is.

Strange, isn't it? Feels a bit weird that of all the skills that I could have, why couldn't I be like brilliant guitarist, or be an acrobat, a fire eater, or be good at chess? That's something that I'd like to be. You know, sort of like an intellectual genius chess player. A bloody chair squeaking.

I won't, I'm not going to be able to edit out the chair. Sorry. You know, I don't make many recordings sitting in this chair.

And I am honestly trying to keep completely still physically. But, you know, I also have to breathe. And it's got nothing to do with pearl necklaces, or diving, or anything like that.

But I do still need to breathe. I need to breathe. So yeah, I wonder what's happening this weekend.

Was it Friday now, Saturday tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, happy days, Tuesday, Wednesday, happy days, Thursday, Friday, happy days, the weekend comes, and turns, and turns, wait for you. These days are mine. These happy days are yours.

I don't know if anybody's seen the Fonzie in his more recent work. It's really good. Really good.

You should check it out. There's a TV show that he's in. And I think he won awards for it.

And he's a, oh, it's the name of the TV show is The Name of a Man. I forget what it's called. But basically, it's the Fonzie plays a teacher, like an acting teacher, who used to be an actor.

I think he was like a really successful actor or something like that. He's really good in the show. And he may have been in a lot of things in America, I don't know.

But outside of the Adam Sandler films, I never saw him in anything. And it's a shame because he's really, really, he's still got it. It's just different.

He's got that, I don't know, stage presence that, he just even though he looks, I mean, he's probably, wow, I mean, he's got to be in his, might even be in his 70s now, I don't know, late 60s. But he's just got that something, that charisma. I mean, you know, I was a fan of the Fonzie back in the early 80s, late 70s, early 80s, whenever it was.

But everybody loved the Fonzie. I'm the Fonzie. That was my impression of the Fonzie.

But even then, I think some people might remember him as being like, being a womanizer, and being all, you know, tough and that. But actually, if you did watch the show, Happy Days and watched it, he became, it showed his vulnerabilities. It showed him being scared of stuff.

And, you know, Richie's parents, they were his family. He, you know, he adopted them as his family. Anyway, it's a really good show.

And he's, I love the Fonzie. I live the Fonzie. I might start doing that.

I'm Jason. Anyway, I'm going to go now. Thank you for listening.

Remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy. Lots of love. Bye.
