Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is a for you to sleep. Please only listen and you can safely close your eyes. Thank you to everyone and you too.

And I should say thank you to Lili Lilith. And yeah, I've probably got some comments and messages to read out, but that will involve me going over to my phone, which which is the other side of the room unless... unless... unless... unless... unless I've got a message for you Rachel says I sent you a positive story and you never used it erm... I've got no idea where it went the only link that I've seen you sent me is... the Humpty Dumpty story so I don't know where that is which does... it's very in theme with this recording in a way but maybe not as much as you may think so I've got a message...

that's really cryptic I've got a message from... Garandut saying Dear Jason, I would like to say thank you for your podcasts I literally love them and I have not slept so well for such a long time just amazing thank you and so I just replied thank you for your kind words which podcasts do you listen to? so I'm always interested because it might be the Sleep Hypnosis with Bee it might be the Deep Sleep Hypnosis it might be the Relaxation, Distress and Anxiety or it might be these the Let Me Bull You Too show I think that's it, so I can't see any other messages there might be but I can't see them one of my...

which goes back to what Rachel said about the positive stories I couldn't find any it's chilly in here tonight I'm beginning to wonder if they're downstairs flat if they're storing big blocks of ice it's really got cold in here the last couple of weeks or the last week right so I looked online I couldn't find any other day and then I thought I'm just going to put in weird stories or weird news stories that's what I googled and then I came up with lots and some newspapers have the whole section just for strange stuff so

I thought I'd just do read some of them some of this may be adult there's one particular story that I saw earlier that I was intending to read out it was definitely an adult story so you had been warned but I've got no intention of reading out anything that's well because some of their stories even though they're weird stories they're still horrible I don't really want to read those ones out some of them are blatant adverts but here we go I've not read this I've just seen the headlines I'm clicking on it this is inthemirror.

co.

uk website full of adverts man I suppose they have to make their money somehow don't they it's woman stages it says woman or women still the same name, same word isn't it how many adverts can you fit on one page I need to get an ad blocker don't I women stages sitting after refusing to wear a face mask in Costco supermarket now I've never been in a Costco we don't have them where I live I don't really know what they are are they kind of a place where you buy stuff in bulk I think they

originated in America I'm pretty sure Costco is huge in America perhaps you can educate me I could look it up I suppose I'm not that interested the Costco shopper appeared to plonk herself on the floor of the store after taking offence to being asked to don a face covering to prevent the spread of the coronavirus citing her constitutional rights this can't be in the UK because you don't have to wear a face mask it's going into, yeah it's in America in the UK you can go into shops without face masks in the UK you can,

in America I guess it depends I'm sure, maybe it's a bit like a death penalty it's different states and their own rules a woman sat down if you were going to murder someone wouldn't you do it in a state that doesn't have the death penalty I don't know, why would you do it in a place anyway, a woman sat down on the floor and refused to budge in Costco store claiming it was against her constitutional rights the woman took umbrage at staff enforcing the requirement to wear a face covering to limit the spread in the

store in Hillsborough, Oregon on the west coast of the United States so basically she had a tantrum I know where she's coming from, I've heard a few of them so she had a tantrum the footage shows staff confront the woman who actually has a face covering hanging from one ear when she says it's against says it's against her, they're not even wording it correctly says it's against her constitutional rights to be forced to wear it a staff member tells the woman that she only has to inform her of a medical condition which would exempt her

from wearing a face covering the woman admits she does not to which the employee says, well then, put on the bloody cover he says, well then, you have to wear it you have to wear your mask in public this is private property is it though?

is it? private property? a place open to the public? is that a private... it's a public place isn't it?

it's not a private place hmm well the doors are closed and they're closed and they've got the doors locked it's private property inside but I think once you've got thousands of people of the public walking around it's not so private I don't think the staff member tells her to come back another time after the woman snaps I will not when she told that she must put the mask on asking to speak to the boss the annoyed woman is told he's gone on the choir saying if you want to sit outside here I'll have him come

meet you outside you need to do that it's our policy we're going to walk outside but rather than do as asked the woman sits down on the floor of the store right by the entrance and forcing other customers to walk around her to enter and leave the warehouse store they can't walk through her can they?

they won't walk over her of course they're going to walk around why are they even mentioning that? it shows a picture of her she's sitting down leaning against some kind of entrance thing she's nowhere near blocking anybody from doing evil the store worker asks if she can get the woman a chair outside the store where there is a place to sit and offers to help her up but the unhappy customer merely stands up and moves a few steps away before sitting back down again that maybe is where she's sitting now then she's still there the store manager shows up to deal with the matter and the footage captures the woman saying I'm not leaving you want to carry me?

I'm an American I have constitutional rights excuse for the accent the footage does not show how the matter was ultimately resolved underneath it says in June Mirror Online reported how a Starbucks barrister is set to receive more than £47,000 $58,000 in tips after a customer tried to shame him for not serving her while she was not wearing a mask I don't know what that's got to do in May I suppose it's mask related in May we reported how a shop worker was left bemused it's the opposite to amused isn't it?

I like to bemuse people after a customer told him she cut a hole in her mask so she could breathe more easily yeah and it says here Kerry Patona posed in see-through underwear for X-rated OnlyFans account thankfully only two people saw it and okay what's the what other stories are there? that wasn't so great really wasn't it?

a bit boring a woman had a tantrum not surprising it's a bit mysterious a hot wedding guest accused of stealing attention from bride in sheer dress egg sandwich breakfast hecker that's even more boring than what I normally do oh this is funny a mum branded a n a apostrophe I don't know what the word's supposed to be for feeding her baby during a job interview now that's funny that's my kind of lady a mum took to reddit to ask whether she was being unreasonable for feeding her son in the middle of an interview and people

were quick apparently it says a mum who had fed her baby at a job interview was being slammed by parents online for being rude condescending but also extremely unprofessional a woman explained that after a successful phone interview in March she was asked to face interview in the summer for a position in a childcare facility when the time came she had no choice but to bring her 7 month old son along with her to the interview but she made sure they were aware of the situation in advance sounds ok so far she arrived early and was

well prepared let's think about it she's got a job as a childcare in a childcare facility and they say oh where's your kid I don't want to leave him at home on his own that's not going to go down well it's only 100 degrees outside I cracked the window left him a little bowl of water to drink it on when the time came she had no choice but to bring her 7 month old son along with her to the interview she arrived early that's quite a good thing for a job interview arrived early was well

prepared didn't even know what the job well I do know what the job was but it's not my job to give I want to employ her I can't help myself and well so she arrived early more prepared until her son started fussing because he was hungry when she asked the director if it would be ok if she could feed him solids not a breast feed and asked whether she could wait until after the interview to feed him with which she said I smiled and I said well he's hungry now and I'd like to go ahead

and take care of that she told me that there wasn't anything to put him on and she had no food for him he doesn't want his food he just needs to be fed it just need to put it in his mouth she replied that he needed to wait until we were done I laughed a bit and invited her to explain to my infant son that he needed to wait saying he may listen to it but I doubt it since you know he's a baby and when babies are hungry you feed them she said she would

interview the other candidate first to allow me time to feed the baby I sat on the floor out of the way in the lobby what's this thing with sitting on floors had a tantrum on the lobby as they had no tables to put the car seat on well what can I have a car seat for you've got the bumper, steering wheel and fed him changed him in the back of my car and came in I was almost immediately called back by the director I thanked her for her flexible for being flexible with the interview order

so I could feed my son and I got him fed and changed she immediately told me that in 20 years she had only done this twice and told me that she didn't think I would be a good fit for the position the woman took to reddit oh my voice is back the woman took to reddit you notice my voice is deeper now the woman talked no I was born and grew up in Greenstar the woman took to reddit to ask users whether she was unreasonable for feeding her baby at the interview and ultimately a number

of women decided to take part in the role one said I've never had anyone that brought their kid to an interview on reddit that this person doesn't have reliable childcare so how often would there be a problem with their work schedule another said you're not only rude and condescending but you're also extremely unprofessional when it comes to interviewing refused a third said I was I think it was incredibly accommodating of them who let her bring her baby in at the first place hmm why didn't you feed your baby before the interview question mark and I've

taken my daughter to an interview before when before when she was one yes I asked before and they agreed however she was fed changed and I brought along her favourite toy so so during the interview she would be on her best behaviour explained a fourth I thought it was the same person never mind they're both sounding similar oh that was a whole whole article there's a few comments I won't read quite all of them because it's rude towards a man of concern I won't read that self of the red 2020 eight hours ago wrote you're

a feeder baby when it's hungry best plan would have been to able to leave the baby with dad gran daycare so she could focus on the interview or arrange an interview for another time after agreeing to being allowed to take the baby to the interview you're a feeder baby when it's time to feed him I would be abusive it would be abusive to leave him hungry and could not his whole routine out so I think that's a crying baby would surely have had a worse effect on the interview and as the job is childcare would

the interviewer not be more understanding Trev Furtish-Ree says when the kid squawks for his din-dins he won't stop until he gets it and someone wrote not forever too she sits on the floor she feeds her kid in the interview she's clearly a left wing pseudo hippie moron yeah that's the whole story so didn't quite go how I expected it I thought the story would have been a bit different but I didn't realise it was about feeding them it was going to be you know solids and it's weird like the baby taking a baby to an

interview has got to be if any job you could take a baby to an interview for surely would be a childcare position mind you if you're unable to organise childcare for your own child hmm I don't know maybe what she should have done is said can I leave my child with your childcare do you need it so he can get a taste of it and I don't know oh here's one Kellogg's launches onion flavoured breakfast cereal but do you dare try it there's no question mark in that but anyway Kellogg's Chaka onion flavoured cornflakes are

being sold in Korea after fans of the popular breakfast cereal voted for the eye-watering bizarre new flavour I feel a bit squirmish just in breathing this out well it's enough to make you weep okay Kellogg's has launched why they keep repeating themselves call it Kellogg's has launched an onion flavoured breakfast cereal they've now said it three times 16 years after the bizarre idea won a controversial poll well that's a fast moving country boxes of Chaka flakes sold out in two days and cereal fans hailed a win for democracy democracy so um hmm following a long

campaign for Kellogg's to honour a 2004 pledge notice it wasn't 2000 it wasn't 2004 the firm had asked shoppers in Korea to vote for a new flavour chocolate Cheki cereal or green onion Chaka an outcry ensured an outcry I tell you but Kellogg's has bowed to public pressure and apologises for the delay in it's TV campaign campaign campaign complaining campaign a spokeswoman said we never ex I can't look I gotta be careful okay I have to be careful with these accents a spokesman said we never expected consumers would be interested but but every time we

had promotional events online communities asked for it Chaka boxes showed a victorious charge green snack bursting out of a bowl as a rival Cheki cripples behind a fan said while the achieving facets of Cheki were ousted and Mr Chaka's 16 year struggle has come to an end Jobar Tinkerbell 48 says nope Jobar Tinkerbell Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar 48 Jobar

Monday, chicken.

Tuesday, fish and chips. Yay! Wednesday, fish. Thursday, fish and chips.

Friday, fish. Saturday, pizza. Sunday, takeaway.

Yeah, he does clearly love fish, doesn't he? He's mentioned it four times. Let's see what messages or comments there are on this. Are there any comments? There don't seem to be any comments.

I thought this would have been full of comments. No. Comments.

No one's left a comment. Why wouldn't they? Blimey. All right, let's go back.

Andre, what are you doing, mate? You make some strange noises. Okay. By the way, I've not read any of these before I read them.

So, man's complaint over C, apostrophe, apostrophe, apostrophe, restaurant service backfires as he's brutally mocked. A restaurant customer who took to Twitter to complain about the service he had received at a restaurant was slammed for the tone-deaf post during the current pandemic. A man who wanted to spread word of his disappointment over the service he received at a restaurant saw it go viral for all the wrong reasons.

Having gone out for dinner with his wife to restaurant, me cock in a, cock in a, me cock. I see where this is going. That's the name of the restaurant, me cock in a. He found the level of service fell far below their expectations.

In an attempt to publicly expose the Texas eatery, Twitter user Jason, ooh, that's a nice name, posted a photo of his wife looking sadly at the food on the table. Looking sadly at the food. How dramatic.

On the table with the caption, my wife, date night, after three plus months locked up in quarantine, waiting for a shredded cheese, as this is the only way she can eat, fajitas, or fajitas, whatever. Yeah, so. We've asked four people going on 18 minutes now.

We've got to quit blaming COVID-19 for crap service. Okay. We have many restaurants struggling to stay afloat during the current pandemic.

Workers across the world finding themselves without a job, and businesses doing, oh, quit going on now. Okay. With all the horrible stuff going on there.

It's fair to say support for Jason's complaint came in very short supply. Many slammed him for the tone deaf post, while others brutally, brutally mocked at the tweet with parodies of their own, and the original tweet was quickly deleted. There is someone put a picture of a raccoon holding a raccoon.

Is it a badger as a raccoon? What's the thing from the... I'm getting all excited. The Guardians of the Galaxy. It's kind of like a raccoon.

Holding a little kitten, saying, please, sir, she needs shredded cheese for her fajitas. I find it kind of funny. I find it kind of sad.

The cheese that is shredded is the kind I cannot have. Someone's written. Someone else, Nicole Boyce, the waiter who did all the shredded cheese.

After the post attracted a lot of attention, Jason spoke to blog Central Track, where he explained that he rarely uses Twitter, and his only intention had been to keep his wife happy. He also admitted that she hadn't been thrilled to see the picture go viral, saying she is, of course, peed off. She said, why would you put that picture of me on Twitter? Why else was he taking a picture? Imagine if you were related, you know, you're with your husband or wife or, I don't know, significant other, whatever, and they're moaning about something, you take a picture.

That wouldn't go down well, wouldn't it? This food is disgusting. Put the camera down. You're taking a picture.

Anyway, but Jason maintained it was fair to call. You can't go, I can't blame someone called Jason, can you? You sound so lovely. It's just, you know what I mean? Just, it sounds nice.

But Jason maintained it was fair to call out the restaurant, as he hadn't named any staff in the post on social media, as he reported to the Dallas Observer. It's very normal. It feels very normal to put cheese on prosciuttos, he said.

Okay, I can't believe I'm the only one that noticed. So there's a couple of comments, Emma, Gem, Emma, M, Gem, Emma. I'm sorry, but there's much more important things going on than him moaning about not getting cheese at a restaurant.

What an idiot, get a life. Yeah, but M, Gem, Emma, maybe not for him. Or do you have to start accepting crap service now, just because stuff's going on? Life has to get back to normal.

We can't go back to normal and just put up with anything. You have to have good service. See, the Domino's pizza, they will not, I don't know why, they refuse to buy pineapple.

My favorite pizza is pineapple and sweet corn. And they do a two for one at the moment, so I can share with my friend downstairs. But no, they will not do my pizza, sweet corn and pineapple.

I love sweet corn and pineapple pizzas. Oh, why don't you get your own pineapple and put it on the pizza? It's not about that. It's not about, it's about just a tin of pineapples costs what? 20 pence? They're selling a pizza, one pizza, it's like, you know, if they don't do the two for one, it's like nearly 18 pound for pizza.

So you're telling me they can't afford to just open a can of sweet corn that costs maybe 20 or 30 pence? They probably wouldn't use a whole tin anyway on a pizza. Don't wind me up, mate. The P fade to, I'm glad I got that off my boobies.

That was weighing me down. Fade to gray. The P was missing in the headlines.

C, apostrophe, apostrophe, apostrophe, P. What expletive were you expecting? Oh. Oh, good. This, they were working with themselves.

And it's got one big juicy. I don't understand the issue. They wanted cheese, and they waited nearly 20 minutes to get it.

Or they didn't have any. What's the story here? You see, someone doesn't understand the story. Okay.

Right. Why am I the only person that noticed, that noticed a restaurant called Mikokina? Why am I the only one? Mikokina. Oh dear.

No, you could sell it because you're childish. Yeah. Oh, I'm not going to deny that.

That's why I'm still alive. It's kept me young. Blimey.

I tell you, being childish is one of the best things. Oh, this looks interesting, but probably for the wrong reason, so I won't tell you about it. I just want to see if there's any pictures.

No, no pictures. Never mind. So let's have a look.

Here's a nice one for animal lovers. A broody mother goose has taken 47 babies under her wing, and they're so cute. They are, man, this picture.

I've never seen so many little ducks. They're not ducks, but you know, they look like, they look like ducks. Little ducklings.

And because they all follow each other, don't they, in a line. It's a long old line. Honestly, that's, I think even Rowan Stone would struggle with a line that long.

A man who has been visiting a river was shocked. Shocked. Is anyone really shocked anymore? To discover that each time he goes there, a mother goose has more and more babies with her.

We love seeing a gaggle of fluffy little baby goslings following behind their mum on the water. But we find it might be a bit much to see any more than five at once. Cuteness overload.

However, this is exactly what one man from Saskatoon in Canada saw when he visited a pretty spot along the Saskatchewan Riverbank. The first time Mike Digout saw the goose, she had around 16 babies with her. He snapped a photo, and a few days later, he turned to see if he could find the family once again.

Next time, he saw the birds. Much to his shock, the mum had not 16 babies trailing behind her, but a total of 47. Speaking to the Dodo, I was stunned that this mum had 16 babies, so I started going back every night looking for this mum and her goslings, and every day it seemed like she had a bigger group.

The phenomenon is known as a gangback or gangbrood and is common in areas where there are lots of nests. One particular patient mother tends to look after another's babies, essentially giving the other bird a day slash night off. It was very clear to Mike that this is what was happening here.

He added, It was incredible how calm she was, with so many goslings around. She seemed like such a patient mum. And then it says here, aww.

That's actually part of the article, aww. Not sure we could ever handle that many kids at once though. Well done Mother Goose.

Oh, there is some comments on this one. Generally ignored, that's the name of the person. Thank you DM for an article to cheer everyone up, much appreciated.

Aussie Pom, too cute, but straight talking one. Nice to see some uplifting stories on here, rather than the depressive stories of celebs seeking attention. PC MD, beautiful birds and a beautiful story.

Gossip Bug, how utterly adorable. Go a neighbourhood mum and teach those youngsters what their life will be all about. Good luck and TY for these great pictures.

PS I put TY because spelling the word thank you just way too much effort. And that's the whole, that's that one. So I'll comment on that, that's that story.

It's a nice little story, isn't it? Oh, there's a little puppy here. A Dash Hund puppy. I might be pronouncing it wrongly, but as you know, probably that I don't care.

Dash Hund, Dash Hund, Dash Shund, something like that. Puppy is born with a unique black and white spotted body, like a cow. Moo, the Dash Hund puppy was born, I just called him Moo.

I thought he was a noise. With white spots covering most of his body and his owner, Victoria, says people often mistake he thinks he's wearing pyjamas thanks to the unique look. Completely different body colouring.

I mean, I know somebody said it is, but it's like phenomenal. I've seen a dog kind of similar to that locally, but it's like got a white body, but the brown and sort of black face, but completely different colour body. It's quite cute.

I didn't think that the owner put pyjamas on him, I just figured he painted him. A heart melting Dash Hund puppy. I wonder how they can stretch this story out.

They've told the story already, haven't they, really? With a unique black and white spotted body, has been named Moo next to his half dog, half cow appearance. The seven month old has peabald fur, piebald or peabald, which results in unpigmented white spots of fur appearing on his natural coat. Moo's peabald fur covers almost his entire body, but it's left his head untouched, with his owner saying that the mitts matched.

And they just repeat what they've always said about the pyjamas. Victoria, why did they do that? I mean, news stories do that as well. They will tell you, like, we're going to tell you what we're going to tell you.

We can tell you and then we're going to tell you it. Then we can recap what we've already told you. Yeah, in a lecture, maybe.

But not in a news story, surely. They're just trying to meet it out, I guess. Make it longer than it needs to be.

I say, stop talking, just put more cute pictures. So cute. He also had a pure black and tan head.

And he looks like his body doesn't match his head. Lots of people think he's wearing a coat or pyjama. Why did you keep going on about it? Stop going on about the pyjamas.

Moo's mix of gashund and dalmatian like appearance attracts plenty of attention, both in everyday life and on social media, along with his funny personality. Victoria 24 says she often gets stopped by strangers when she takes little Moo out for a walk with many questions, asking or taking pictures of the little star. Not surprised, she's a very cute little doggie.

Very cute. Aww. The skincare beauty worker said she has a special personality to match.

He has a special personality to match his unique coat, having plenty of attitude as well as being cuddly and sweet. He loves to hoard his toys in one spot. Watermelon and almonds are his favourite treats, and he loves to take naps on his back under his bed.

She added, I never get bored or lonely having Moo around. Aww. She said Moo has been a light in dark times for many people, but no one more than me and her boyfriend always wanted a sausage dog.

Is there a sausage dog? Okay. Anyway, that's the story. So cute.

Emma S. You don't feed a dog or pup almonds, that can kill them. It's amazing how many experts there are online. People say, oh, you can't feed a dog, give a dog chocolate.

Do you know how many dogs eat chocolate when you're not around? Yeah, you can't give them, they can't eat too much, or they can eat too much rather. It'll make a meal, but a little bit of chocolate doesn't make a dog meal. You're not supposed to have it.

But hell, I don't think humans are either. Beautiful little dog, a very special little friend, says Wayne. Aussie Pom says, gorgeous doggy, with a beautiful name to match.

Right, let's have a look at what other ones there are. There's got to be at least one more story I can tell. Yeah.

Okay, let's read this one. I don't know. It's kind of an advert, I think.

But nevermind, it's a story. So Costa has launched Coca Cola coffee, and people have a lot of thoughts. So let's have a look.

That's the headline. So Costa Coffee has a new partnership with Coca Cola in China. Okay, so this is in China, launched a new range of drinks combining the two, including Coca Cola Latte.

I didn't know there was a River Spoons, not River Spoons, Costa in China. I don't know they've been there, so how would I know? Whenever Costa Coffee releases a new flavour drink, people flock to try it. But their latest creations have some feeling just a little conflicted.

The company is teamed up with fizzy drink giant Coca Cola to create a range of cola flavoured coffees. Yeah, you've already said that. So that's third time so far now.

They're not aiming, who are they aiming these stories at? Like the way it's written? You wouldn't say it three times, you'd say it once, wouldn't you? Then move on. Unlike me, I would never say things twice. I'd never say things twice.

I'd never. The company, they announced a new partnership in a post on LinkedIn. And it's fair to say people have a lot of thoughts about the new drink range, which includes a Coca Cola Latte and Cappuccino.

Okay, so they've mentioned, how many times can I mention the word Coca Cola in one article? And I've also mentioned Coca Cola Latte at least once before. The post read, the summer campaign has landed in China. And we're really excited by the first ever Coca Cola flavoured coffee range.

This is something we cannot wait to try. Okay, mentioned Coca Cola again. It's not yet known when the drinks will be available to buy in UNK.

But the lack of availability hasn't stopped people here from commenting on them. Responding to Costa Coffee's post, coffee fans have mixed thoughts, with some keen to try them and others unsure. One person wrote, interesting.

Another said, worth a try. A third commented, not sure about this one. How disgusting is that? Coca Cola is disgusting enough.

Would that make it a really good coffee? Added someone else. A different user added, what sounds crazy. I am in.

A sixth, how many people more? A sixth replied, not sure about this one, Costa. Met me in heaven or stepped too far. Talking to Tyler, a spokesperson for Costa, described the new Coca Cola cold brew saying, the familiar crust taste of the classic Coca Cola complements the smooth, mellow coffee flavours found in our cold brew coffee.

When served over ice, this is a truly refreshing summer drink. That's what the article says. Sounds tempting.

It's an advert, isn't it? What do you think? Would you give a go? Let us know in your comments below. Let's see if there's any comments. No, there doesn't seem to be any comments whatsoever.

Oh, there is. I found two comments. Basinger219, 2019 says, the company has teamed up with his e-drink, Giant Coca Cola.

Coca Cola brought Costa coffee for 3.9 billion in 2018, so they are hardly teaming up. LOL. So that's lots of love, I imagine.

Salfordred2020 took a time out of his day to write, yuck. So Coca Cola owns Costa coffee, 3.9 billion. I would have thought it would be worth more than that, just based on how many there are.

The reason I say that is because I would imagine something like Costa coffee would be making more than 3.9 billion a year. Wouldn't they? Let's have a look. I'm going to find out.

Costa coffee. Costa coffee. Costa coffee.

Yearly income. Okay. So it's 2019.

1.34 billion pounds. British pounds. Up from 1.29 billion pounds the previous year.

Yeah. So that's two years. A year before that, they sold it for 3.8 billion.

But they're not making, obviously, after tax. Well, I don't know if they pay tax today, Costa coffee. But I don't know.

I say that as I don't know. Please don't sue me. I don't know if some of the big... I'm not sure which one of the coffee companies doesn't sort of pay much tax.

Hi, Costa coffee.Net income. Ah.

Ah. Got ya. Got ya.

Got ya. So basically... No, I don't... I'm so annoyed. Anyway, Coca-Cola pounded.

But then Coca-Cola's owned, isn't it? Who owns Coca-Cola? Who owns Coca-Cola? Coca-Cola business strategy and the Coca-Cola institution of this is more than 5% of Clearbrook, shall we? Wow. 5%. No wonder Warren Buffett is always drinking a can of Coke when he does stuff online or does meetings and stuff that goes on telling.

Who's the owner of the Coca-Cola company? So it is the Coca-Cola company. Founders John Smith Pemberton as Coca-Cola, Asa Griggs Candler as the Coca-Cola company. Key people, James Quincy, Brian Smith.

Are Coca-Cola and Pepsi owned by the same company? No. Pepsi has always been a quite separate company and Coca-Cola's most direct competitor in soda pop, bottled water and energy drinks. Who owns the most stock in Coca-Cola? Wow.

Isn't this interesting? According to this, and it might not be right, but this is money.cnn.com. According to this, Berkshire Hathaway, which is Warren Buffett's company, owns 9.31%. He has 400 million shares. And then below that, the Vanguard Group, BlackRock Fund, SGA, Willington Management, Northern Trust, Fidelity, Capital Research. Top 10 mutual funds hold in Coca-Cola.

I realize I don't know what I'm reading. So what's the Vanguard Group? Let's have a look at that. Shares bought and sold.

Isn't this interesting? Yeah. Berkshire Hathaway, so Warren Buffett, it's not only him, he's got a partner as well, maybe two, but he's got at least one partner. He's got 9.31% stake of Coca-Cola, owns 400 million shares.

Total value is $18,622,000. And out of all the rest of the people that own shares, he's the only one that hasn't bought or sold anything. Hasn't bought or sold any of his shares.

Hasn't bought anything new, hasn't sold any, just kept them. See the ones, the Vanguard Group, which is the next one down, is 7.16% ownership. They're valued at $14,360,000.

They've reduced, they sold 2,813,595 shares. Wow. So technically if Berkshire Hathaway wants to do it, they could probably buy more shares, but maybe 18 billion is enough.

Do you reckon? Do you reckon? I know that there's a whole thing. Oh, Andre. Andre's coming to just do a wee wee with Poopoo.

And the, what was I going to say? I can't. Yeah, now some people are supposed to dislike people who've got money and millionaires and billionaires. I find it interesting.

People that are successful, whatever they do, whether it's playing a trumpet or building a massive empire or being really good at boring people, which is my domain. The most boring man in the world. It's Jason.

It's Jason. The most boring man in the world is here. That might be my theme tune.

I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to go. Thank you very much for listening.

Remember, remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. Be something nice for yourself today. Lots of love.

Bye.
