#642 Let me bore you to sleep

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You to Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Just to let you know if you don't already know, I really am groovy.

Just to let you know if you don't know, or if you do know, then I'm still going to tell you. A couple of changes. My website, when you go on there, I've got a list of the latest recordings.

So there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. So there's the 30 latest recordings that you can click on, stream free or download for free. Then under that I've got the podcast stream and download free and it's got the there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine things to choose from there.

Also to let you know, really? Yeah. To let you know that the Let Me Bore You to Sleep podcast image has changed. So just in case you didn't know and you were looking for, you know, the yellow image with Andre on the front.

And I think there's a microphone, I forget what it was. It's now changed. It's changed to let me have a look.

Yeah. It's now a baby with a big yellow funny yellow hat asleep. And there's the words Let Me Bore You to Sleep on the cover.

I'm just trying to cough, just sneeze or cough. Yeah, it was a cough. I'm just trying to change things up a bit.

Andre, what are you doing? He's in his little den. And he's using his Father Christmas or Santa Claus little toy as a cushion. Wow.

I just took him out for a walk. And it's nearly quarter to 11 in the evening now. And he didn't, he didn't really want to go anywhere.

I took him out, I carried him to the into the park. I put him down when I walked a little way into the park. And he just walked me home.

Slowly. So a little roll around, a little sniff, a little dig and just walked me home. So he seems happy enough.

For some reason, the Santa is basically, I think it's like cardboard inside, but it's got a Santa costume. And it does squeak. That's become his new best friend.

I don't know if you can hear it, but he's biting it. He spends quite a lot of time of it at the moment. And he's moving stuff around because he came running out from there holding his little blue teddy.

And then he saw me and he ran back, he ran back in. Like, I don't know what he was up to. The teddy bear is nowhere to be seen.

The little blue teddy's gone. I don't know where he's took him. I think he's building a den behind the settee again.

Because I tidied up, moved a lot of stuff around, moved the bookcases around and moved the settee further away from the telly. Because I was getting a bit of eye strain. And he, I think he's rebuilding a den behind there.

So that he can have a, you know, toy. Because the toys, I think they're quite nice and soft for him to sleep on. And I don't even want to imagine what else he does.

But he seems happy. He does, he seems happy. Which is, it's all I want for him, really.

I know it's a little bit soppy. I'm not generally a soppy person. But for him, I just want him to be happy.

Really, you know, it's almost the most important thing in the world. Or maybe it is the most important thing in the world. And I know there's those out there that would think, I don't know if you can hear that, that's him.

I'm glad he's not doing that during my other recordings, because that would be very, very annoying. I, it was my dad's birthday today. I know I said happy birthday in yesterday's recording.

It's actually today. Wait a minute. Yeah.

The reason why I did it yesterday is because I, as I was making my recording, I realized that I'd forgotten my dad's birthday. Not so much forgotten it as mislaid the date. No, not mislaid his date.

But lost track. Is that a way? Yeah, I lost track of the of the date. Which is weird, really, when you consider I'm typing in the date for every recording I make.

So I kind of should have been aware on the 16th and 17th of April that we're getting close to the 19th. But I didn't, I was so focused on that, I wasn't even thinking about birthdays or anything like that. And then about 11 o'clock, sometime or other, I was, I just realized, damn it.

It's my dad's birthday tomorrow. Which is today. And I was like, I didn't get him anything.

I was planning to get him a bottle of whisky from Amazon. But in the end, I went to Moon Pig, got him a card and ended up I was looking for something with whisky because he likes whisky. Well, he loves single malt whisky.

It's his hobby, really. Being an alcoholic is his hobby. No, he loves single malt whisky is his favorite.

And he is, it is his hobby because I don't know why that's funny. He's traveled all around the country, even the world, going to distilleries, places where they make whisky. He loves whisky, he collects it.

I think technically he collects the bottles because he doesn't keep the the contents in them for long, I don't think. But I might be wrong. I might be wrong.

But he loves whisky. And I wish that I could find a hobby like that. It's not true.

I wish that I could find if I wish I had a love of whisky. Because he really seems to make him feel good, like really good. And there's nothing does that to me.

There's no alcohol that I've ever discovered that does that to me. That makes me feel really good. While I'm sitting at home watching telly or you know, and I know I've, I've got, I've drunk alcohol and felt good.

If I'm in the company of someone I want to be in the company of. So just it but then it kind of it wouldn't matter what I was drinking, I guess. But my tolerance to alcohol is practically zero these days.

Just don't drink alcohol. And it's not because I don't want to is not because I can't. I just don't like it anymore.

I don't have even the slightest urge to drink. But if I went into a pub, if I went into a pub, not now. But you know, once all this rubbish is over and done with, and everything gets back to normal, if you know, hopefully it will, I can drink a pint of lager easily.

A couple of pints, three pints. It's nice, especially as long as it's cold and refreshing. I like a pint of a pint of lager in a pub.

Or if I'm in a restaurant, maybe a pint, a glass of wine. Or if I'm visiting my dad, I'll have a glass of wine with a dinner and stuff. I like that.

But when I'm sitting here, it just, you know, just doesn't don't really do anything for me, really. I can't live for myself. I don't know, I just don't need it.

I don't don't feel that need. It's just the idea of getting high. Which is what, you know, alcohol does it and it gets you high.

It doesn't really just what to watch television or to watch Netflix, what. I've never made a recording when I've been drunk, or anything. I've just always been completely sober when I make recordings and videos.

So I've never really done that. Is that true? Yeah, I think it is true. I think it is.

No, I think I probably did some of the Jason Chatz after having a few beers. Yeah, yeah, I probably did, actually. Yeah, yeah, let's not lie.

I probably did do a few of those. But not the normal, not hypnosis stuff. Yeah, I don't know why I quite like to, I don't know if I'd want to go back to drinking.

I used to drink quite a lot at one point. What I drink now is Coke. Which is why I just drunk then.

So I don't think I've had any messages that I've not read out yet. So thank you everyone for your messages over the last few days. Over the last week, I had quite a few, which is nice.

I've upped my game. That's, that's, I think that should be the title of this recording. I have upped my game.

Now, what I mean by that is, I'll even I'll go through it with you. I know in a way, it's not very interesting. But those, those people, those of you that listen to these recordings, these ones, the boring ones, you get to see the background work that goes into this.

You've, you've kind of, in a way, over the last three years, or two and a half years of these podcasts. Three years. I'm going to be honest with you.

I'm going to be honest with you. I'm going to check now. I really don't know.

Three years, let's just put in number one, what, when, what date was number one. 27th of March 2018. Wow.

Over three years. So over the last three years of me doing these podcasts to let me boil to sleep. I've kind of let you in on the process that I, that I go through, the things that I do and the equipment that I've purchased and some equipment I've got help with as well that some of you have helped me to get.

And hopefully, I want to use the word progress, which I hope is, it might, it might not be the right word. But I like to think, okay, and I don't know why that's funny. I like to think that I have progressed in some ways with this stuff that I do with my work, my work.

And I, I've kind of taken you through the last three years of what I've done. And I've not really done that in the past before, outside of the vlogs that I used to do the Jason chat vlogs. And I used to go through what I was up to.

And yeah, and I did that for quite a few years before that I used to do basically just an update, an update video once a month. And I started doing those in probably 1942. Now it's 2007.

I started doing update videos, pretty much once a month. I just do an update sort of saying this is what I'm doing. This is where I'm living now.

This is this is what I've done. This is what I'm currently doing. I'm you know, university now, blah, blah, blah.

These are my goals, my aims. And then I, you know, do another one a month later. And I used to just call them update videos.

Now they weren't I didn't class them as vlogs because I wasn't interested in vlogging. But technically they were vlogs. I mean, that's what they were.

I just, I was doing them a lot longer before I really knew about vlogging. And then in 2011, I think it was Boston Chickie introduced me to the vlogging world. So I started doing vlogs, even though I was kind of already doing them, but just it was occasional updates.

And then I think I delete them as well. So I didn't sort of always leave them on the YouTube channel. So I started doing the Jason Chats vlogs.

I've got quite a few of them still that I've saved on a hard drive. But I had a lot, a lot of them. But I've only got maybe 30 saved.

That wasn't me. That was Andre burping. Andre stop burping.

Little burpy fart head. And so yeah, I might go back to doing the vlogs. I used to do them.

The thing is right though. Right though. Right.

Part of the reason I did this. The let me boys asleep is it's an extension of the vlogs. Because I used to get quite a lot of feedback on the vlogs, people would sort of chat to me and tell me they liked the vlogs and I should do more.

And for some reason, people seem to be interested in my life, which I never quite understood. And then someone said, you know, when I watch your your Jason Chats, I fall asleep because they're so boring. But then he said, Thank you.

And someone else mentioned how bored they'd fall asleep, listening to my Jason Chats. And I started thinking, instead of taking offense to that, you know, it's really hard to take offense to someone saying something like that. When on YouTube, I had over the years, some of the most disgusting comments you could even imagine.

So someone saying, Oh, your podcast, your, your vlog video was so boring, I fell asleep. That's almost like not even point 5% of the disgustingness that I've had previously. So therefore, it's impossible to be offended by it.

So I started thinking, maybe, what if I did a podcast version of the vlog of the Jason Chats? Now, I did, it's I don't know if it's still there. On one of my podcasts, my older, older podcasts, there was a, I had a specific podcast just for the Jason Chats. I also used to do a vlog called, and it also did a podcast rather than a vlog.

It was called Life of a Bipolar Hypnotist. I started doing that, I think in 2012. And I did that for a while, I was making them daily.

And in a way, that was probably the closest thing to this. So I've never really told people this before. So this, this let me boy to sleep came out of those things.

It came out of the Life of a Bipolar Hypnotist blog, or not blog, podcast. And blog actually, I used to do a blog at one point, I had a website for it. That's gone.

And then I did the Jason Chats. And I started thinking, okay, maybe I can do something that's both entertaining for those that want to be entertained. But, you know, Marge, I say, I use the word entertained very liberally.

And for those that just want to be bored to sleep, I'll, it'll be for them as well. And you know, just, I kind of figured if people are going to fall asleep, no matter what I say, then I might as well just talk about how I'm feeling and talk about my life. And if they're going to fall asleep, then good.

If they find it boring, good. If they don't, good. You know, it's, it's a win win situation all around.

So those that find it boring and fall asleep, good for them. And if they don't find it boring, and they find it interesting, I suppose good for them, unless, of course, they're listening because they want to fall asleep, then it's not so good. But it is still boring.

I think, yeah, it is. So I guess, however weird it is, I've found a way to not be criticised. I thought, but I was wrong.

I kind of figured, well, I can't really be criticised in a sense of no, if someone says, oh, he's boring. Well, that's that box ticked then, isn't it? Or, oh, he's so interesting. No one's gonna say that.

But you know what, actually, some people have, but I do worry about those people. I'm joking. And I don't know.

I don't know. I just, I didn't expect this to last for three years. I really didn't.

I didn't expect to still be making these Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcasts. Pretty much daily. I know I have a bit of time off now and then, which I need to.

But generally, they're pretty much daily, very regular. And you can't, I don't think you can really, I don't think it's been one week I've gone without making some recordings in the last, well, maybe it has been a couple of weeks in the last three years, but not, it's not very often. You know, there have been a couple of times when I've gone about 10 days where I didn't do anything.

But that could be due to illness or just not being in the right frame of mind. And I'm not going to give myself a hard time for that. Because, although, although, when I'm not in the right frame of mind, I can't make the Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings, but I can do hypnosis recordings.

Go figure. So I can't talk about myself and be positive if I'm in a, well, I'm not saying I can't, but sometimes I struggle a little bit. But I can do a relaxation session.

And what I find is sometimes, well often, it really helps me. Because when I'm doing a relaxation session, focusing on relaxing my hands, for example, I am relaxing my hands. When I'm talking about massaging your chest, or stroking your chest and stroking your stomach, stroking your legs, stroking your arms, like the one I did recently, I was doing that.

I was fondling myself. I was stroking my body while I was talking about it. And by the way, there was no weird places.

It was just legs, arms, hands, stomach and chest and face. So it wasn't, you know, anything strange. It was just, it was all about the skin, sensitivity of the skin, focusing on the now, focusing on how you feel in this moment, whilst you stroke, you know, the part of your body, like the stroking your fingers with the other hands, the other hands, how many hands you have, the other fingers on the other hand.

And this is something I've been doing quite a bit of lately. And it's really nice. It's very comforting.

And I think part of that reason maybe is that I don't have any human contact, no physical human physical contact, pretty much at all. And I know a lot of people haven't over the last year and a half or whatever, due to the situation that's been going on. But mine wasn't because of that.

It's just because no one wants to touch me. So there, I don't mind that. But I'm a little bit weird when it comes to being touched sometimes.

It's yeah, I probably, I got over it a little bit when I got into the Buddhism, because everyone was hugging each other. So I was at a Buddhist center and we were hugging each other. And that's not me.

But I kind of became used to it and started doing it. But because I haven't been around the Buddhist center for a few years, really, not regularly. I've lost that.

I guess I've closed up a little bit maybe to the touching other humans. Yeah, maybe a little bit. I used to be quite huggy at one point.

But not not for any weird reason. Just just everyone was doing it. Everyone's hugging each other.

So I just do something quite nice actually about hugging other men without without feeling strange. And I could never do it before without feeling weird. And I didn't particularly like hugging women, unless I was in a relationship with them.

Yeah, it's just just how I was. But hugging a man, no way, I wouldn't. And it wasn't any kind of, well, maybe it was, I don't know, conditioning, perhaps.

But I've never met a man I really wanted to hug. Well, okay, I did once. It was, but I'm not going to tell you about that.

It's personal and private. But if I met, no, not at all. One day I will, I probably have talked about it.

But it was I had a bit of a man crush on someone when I was about 22. And he was this, he looked like a girl. That's what it was.

He looked like a girl. But he wasn't a girl. He was a boy.

And well, he was probably about 20. I just, I was very confused. Very, he was, what's the word, the someone that's almost non, is it non binary, I suppose now, isn't it? By, there's a word, isn't it? It's someone that kind of looks, I've seen another person like that too.

In fact, there was a woman that I really liked. And I met a brother and he honestly couldn't tell that he was a man. And it wasn't that he was going through changes or that he was, he was just, just, he just, it's the way he looked.

He looked like her. I don't think they were twins. They might have been twins.

But he looked like her. And I fancied her. And then I met him.

And it's not that I fancied him, but I was like, oh, this is weird. Because I really fancied his sister. And he looked like his sister.

Like same build, same, both quite petite. Like, are you the same person? And I had to sort of like, sit down, have I ever seen them in the same room together? And I realised they were actually sitting in front of me. So I'm like, okay, fair enough.

One day I'll tell you all about my love life. There is no love life. I don't know.

Sometimes I was watching this movie the other day, or actually just now, but it's called Looks That Can Kill. And it's about this young lad. And anyone sees his face, they just drop down dead.

That's basically the story. So he has to walk around with bandages on his face to cover his face up. And it's part of it's quite funny.

And then it gets quite deep because he falls in love with this girl and she falls in love with him. But she's really ill. And he's, you know, they're basically both suffering in different ways.

And there's been a few films that are not not quite like that, but sort of similar kind of thing in the past where, you know, one's ill. And one is like, I don't like that aspect of it, of the film. I like the fact that he, you know, people drop down dead when they see him.

I find that funny. But you might think what's funny about it? Well, okay. Watch the bit where he's born.

Okay, I defy you not to laugh. When they hold the baby up. And the doctor drops down dead and so does the two nurses.

But they drop, they smile, big smile and then just drop down. It's funny. Honestly, it's it's almost like they're always so beautiful.

And then that's it. I saw another film called They Live Among Us. They Live Among Us.

And it's from like 1988 or something. It's a really good film. I don't know why I'm a ffff film.

Not just film. It's a ffff film. It's a really good film.

And I couldn't believe how good the quality of the picture was. 30 year old film. 33 years old.

And the picture was as good as anything that they make today. I don't know how they did it. But it's like it was in HD as well.

It was on Netflix. But the picture was perfect. And it had Roddy something he's a used to be a wrestler.

And there's a few things in it where it's just, it's just funny and silly. And for example, there's a fight, a fistfight basically between him and one of the other, pretty much the co star of the film. The fight goes on far, far too long.

And it's funny because of that. It just every time you think it's stopped, it starts again. It's almost like it must be a 15 minute fight scene.

It's really silly. And some of the special effects are not good. But there isn't many special effects in it.

So they, they probably could have spent a little bit of money on that, considering Star Wars, you know, Superman and all the movies that started the real new kind of special effects in the late 70s. By 1988, we had what I thought they could is they could have done something a little bit better. You know, it's but it doesn't matter.

I just think Roddy Dorrell would have made quite a good Flash Gordon. I wonder if they'll ever make another Flash Gordon movie. I think it's one of those movies that doesn't need to be made.

It's been made and it was it was pretty much perfect. You know, I think Star Wars could have been just left as one film. And it would have been perfect.

I think he had been left at three films, it would have been perfect. It was a great trilogy. Nothing else needed to be done.

For me, but then I wasn't so into it, as some people and having the start an episode number four, which was the hope was at last hope or whatever. The first Star Wars was the fourth chapter for that. What's going on here? So I guess they needed to make the first three.

It makes sense, you know, later on, and they did do that. And yeah, they didn't. I wasn't a huge fan of those ones.

But the latest ones, the newer ones I liked. So the all the three, the three films they did, was it a new hope? I don't know, whatever it was, the last Jedi. I can't remember what the three were.

But those three, I liked all of them. Also, what I liked was the solo film, Han Solo film. I like that as well.

That was good. So I like those three, but the other three, I didn't dislike them, I just found the, it was, they seem to be focusing quite a lot on some of the animated characters, which for some reason had Jamaican accents and different, they had a lot of weird accents that were, I don't know if it was borderline racist, I don't know. But it was kind of all, you know, I just, yeah, I think if an alien was from outer space on another planet, far, far away, I don't think it's gonna have a German accent.

As an example. It's not gonna have an English an accent from the world, is it? It's gonna give it a different accent, give it a as an example. I'm just saying, just take that, take that run with it, see what you can come up with.

Give it a go. No, you don't need a cliche accents. I don't know, I just didn't really, I found some of the characters a little bit annoying.

I know it's, it's terrible, but hey, what can I do? But this film, They Live Among Us, is a great film. It's John Carpenter, you know, the horror movie person, and it's, it's not horror, there's no horror involved in it, really. But it's just really, it's, it's, it starts slow.

But it's, it's a lot of fun. I quite like it, if I'm honest. I quite like it.

And I did watch it all the way through, eventually. There was another film I watched, what was it? Oh, Nobody. If you like, yeah, it's a good film to watch called Nobody.

And it's got the bloke who was in Breaking Bad. He was the solicitor or the lawyer, Breaking Bad. And yeah, Sol, Better Call Sol, his name's Sol, in that film, in the TV show, Better Call Sol, which I've not seen.

I think I saw the first two series or seasons, and then I didn't watch it anymore. I think it probably gets good after when I started watching it. So I need to perhaps get back to it.

After seeing him. It's a bit funny. Because he plays a tough guy.

And in Breaking Bad, he plays a wimp, well not a wimp, but just the opposite to a tough guy. He deals with tough people. He deals with lots of horrible, you know, helping horrible people and stuff, criminals and that.

But he's not. He's not that tough guy. And in this, in Nobody, he plays ex CIA, you know, real deep, deep, serious man, who's retired.

And he's retired for like 15 years or something. And then he gets his house broken into. I don't want to spoil the plot.

But that sparks. He doesn't do anything. Wait, no, he does.

But it seems that he doesn't do anything to protect his family or his son. But he is he's on. He's on the ball.

But his son gets punched and his son don't like him for it. Why didn't you do something? You could have done something. And that's when he starts to think, Oh, I'm playing this safe lifestyle a bit too much.

And yeah, that that sparks what happens next and leads on to the next thing. And yeah, it's just really good. I enjoyed it.

I did. Again, talking about fight scenes that last too long. I think in the trailer, it shows him on a bus.

There's a woman being harassed by a bunch of men. In reality, in the actual movie, the woman's not really being harassed at all. They're just a bunch of drunk people.

But they don't seem to be that interested in a woman. But you know, that's, that's, it's not like you see in some movies, you know, when they start, like trying to chat the woman up and then start being obnoxious and all that stuff. They weren't doing any of that stuff.

Can you say the word stuff a few more times, please? Just didn't hear the word stuff enough. Last weekend, I was watching boxing was a weekend before. And it was some time and I was watching boxing.

And honestly, I had to turn it off. It was on a DAZN DAZN. It's an app.

And I only pay £1.99 a month for it. And there's that boxing shows on, you know, sometimes every weekend, sometimes nothing for a month or so. But it's definitely worth the money.

It's really some good world title fights and stuff. And they put really good shows on. Anyway, they had this Ukrainian show, where it was just showing off the best of the new Ukrainian up and coming boxers.

And they were all good. You know, they were all really, well, really, really good. They're the future future champions, I guess, in the next few years.

And they had three, I might have talked about this. Those three men who were doing the commentary, and they were English. And I guess they're from some YouTube channel or something.

I've not seen them before. I'm not gonna say they were awful, because the only there was only one thing that was awful about it. The chit chat and stuff was fine.

Three people. I prefer to see boxers or someone that knows a bit about boxing. Doing the commentary for a boxing fight, you know, I quite like there to be.

Yeah, just purchase what I prefer. But there's three quite young men talking. And I'm messing around almost like they're in a party.

Which is the complete opposite to the Ukrainian atmosphere. They were not having a party. They were serious, very, very serious.

So it's a very different vibe to how they were acting. But during the fights, I watched two fights, and I had to turn it off. I couldn't watch it anymore.

One of the people, one of the commentators kept saying the same thing. Right now, kept saying that words, those two words together right now. Right now.

Right now, he's going to get there right now. Right now is really good. Oh, he's doing so well right now.

And it it was getting right on my nerves. He kept saying it. I thought now he's going to stop saying it soon.

He didn't. A junior intermission. When they were talking, they went, you know, during the while they were getting ready for the next fight.

They went up and showed them on camera, the three people together. Not one of them said right now. And they were just talking to each other.

And it was all, you know, really nice. Well, nice, whatever. But not one.

And I said, I want to know who's saying that. Not one of them said it. And as soon as it went back to the next fight, here we go right now.

Right now, that person is fighting right now. He's going to have to have a break right now. He's going to always just took a left hook right now.

What? It was driving me up the ass. It was just I was getting so wound up. I had to turn it off.

Now I hadn't paid. If I'd have paid for that, like extra for the sort of paid for a pay per view fight, and had that commentary, I would have asked for my money back. Seriously, because it was so annoying.

You can't, how can you have someone on television who keeps repeating the same word, every sentence, or every other sentence, repeating the same phrase. That is, I imagine he does, he doesn't know he's doing it. And maybe he's doing it through nerves.

Or that's the way he talks in the hood. And that's how his that's how people talk to each other where he's from. And they keep saying right now.

And it's you couldn't have, you get me, you get me. You know, I mean, you know, I mean, because some people will talk and like, go, you know, I mean, every two sentences, you know, I mean, you know, I mean, and again, I can't listen to people talking like that. So it's, it was okay for Frank Bruno, because he used to say, normally, but he didn't say every two seconds.

You know, he would, he'd do every like five sentences, but, but it was funny when he did it, and he was famous for saying it. I think he said that because he was expected to say it. But that really, I mean, I had a similar thing with someone that I worked with, when I was doing the, yeah, the insurance, and I was the, I don't want to forget the name of the job role.

But I was listening to people's calls compliance. I was listening to this to the sales people's calls, making sure they did job properly, ask the proper questions and all that stuff. And there's one person.

And he kept saying, it was equivalent that it probably wasn't right now. But at the end of every sentence, he said, right. I gotta get there.

Right. I gotta do that. Right.

Everything right. There's something like that. Or he was saying now.

It was some, some word. And he kept saying it, I'd listened to him. And nearly and every question he asked.

And there, that's it. He's kept saying there. So what's your name there? Your name there? What's your address there? What's your, can I take your telephone number there? What's, what's your registration number there? Why do you keep saying there? There? And it was so annoying.

And he wasn't, I think he was annoying the customers because they weren't buying off of him. And every sentence, even after that was, even once, I think he said, what was it? He said, he said, he got a garage. He got a driveway at your property.

They got a driveway and a garage. And he says, how many cars do you have there? There. So the question ended with there.

And he had another there on the end. He was, and I said to his supervisor, listen, you gotta get him to stop doing that. It's awful.

It's really bad. He's fine. He was only new.

So it's like everything else he's doing is perfect. But that like there at the end of every sentence, it was almost like he couldn't stop it. Like he couldn't, he didn't know how.

I don't know. It's very weird. And I think he still continued doing it.

And it wasn't just me. Other people, I had a couple of people listening to his calls that were part of my team and they said it as well. Like, this is just annoying.

And I can't remember if he lasted very long or not, but it wasn't anything. He was a nice person and he was friendly and helpful, but just kept like saying there at the end of every sentence, which is not, it might, maybe it was nerves. I don't know.

Maybe I should just, I mean, I don't care now, but back then I just wanted to help him. I didn't, I wanted, I wanted to not have to listen to him saying it, but I also wanted to help him and say, listen, if you stop saying that, you're just, first of all, you're going to be more aware of what you're saying to the person, what you're asking, because not every sentence is going to end with the same word. Therefore you're breaking up the sentences so you can be more aware of the information you're collecting.

And you just want to say there, don't you? He said, there. Maybe it was, who knows, it might've been some kind of OCD thing that he had to say there. And maybe he had OCD and lots of other things that he had to do that I wasn't aware of.

So it just shows we don't know, do we? We don't know what's going on with people, but like, just stop saying there and right now, right now, he's going to be right now, right now, right now, right now. Shut up. I had to stop listening.

And I've looked online to stuff like, come on, other people must've really got annoyed by that. Couldn't find anything online. I do actually want to make a complaint to them, if I'm honest.

I want to contact the zone and just say, listen, listen back to the commentary. If you can listen to that for more than 10 minutes without wanting to chuck something at the television, then come back to me and I'll give you 20 quid. Because guaranteed, I don't think anybody could listen to that unless they were in a room with other people and other people were talking and they weren't really taking much notice of the commentary.

I know people that don't even listen to the commentary. They're so busy in their own head, so busy shouting and talking, they don't hear anything that's being said by anybody else anyway. But if I'm sitting here on my own, I mean, what I did the other day, I was watching boxing and I was on the zone again.

And this time it was proper, proper, you know, world title fight. And there's two options. You could watch it with the English commentary or British UK commentary or with the American commentary.

I watched, what did I watch? I watched it with the UK commentary until, what did I do? Yeah, I watched it all the way. I switched back and forward, but I watched half of the fight, the main fight with the English commentary, no, with the American commentary. That's it.

So I watched the first fight or two with the English, then I swapped over to the American and the American's much nicer. It's just, it was funny. They get on really well.

The people that do the commentary on the big fights in America for the zone, I think they've got their own TV show on there as well. They just, they make fun of each other and it's really quite nice. The English commentary almost seems as if, because they're not there.

The American ones, they're actually there when it's being filmed. I think it looks like they're actually there in the place. The English, they're not there.

They're sort of in a studio in Birmingham or somewhere. Birmingham. And it's very distant.

So, you know, it's basically they're just doing what I'm doing, watching it on the telly. So I don't, I didn't really enjoy that so much. But what I did do is I watched the first half of the fight because it was between an English challenger and an American champion.

And I wanted, and the American champion was winning by quite a lot. But the English challenger was definitely going for it. And he was strong, strong, strong as an ox.

I've never met an ox. I don't know if foxes are strong. Had oxo.

Didn't really know. It's gravy, isn't it? Gravy can be strong. I don't know.

And I turned it over and I started, I think I got to about round six and I went back to come out of it and watched round seven with the English commentary. And I thought, are you going to be biased towards the English fella? Because that's quite often how it is with some of the commentary that we have. It's so biased, it's ridiculous.

But actually, they weren't. If anything, they were giving Liam, Liam Williams, I think his name was the challenger. They weren't really giving him much hope.

But in America, they were being respectful to the English challenger, as well as to the champion. So they kept saying, well, Liam Williams or whatever his name was, he's got the ability to knock anyone out with either hand. So they weren't writing him off.

But in the English one, they're like, yeah, we're writing him off. He's not going to win. He can only win by knockout.

He's not going to get that. I'm probably lying there a bit. It's probably not what they said.

So please don't sue me, won't you? And I just, I just prefer the American commentary because they were, they just, I don't know, almost more respectful to both fighters, not writing either of them off. But at the same time, having a laugh with each other, while they were doing it. I like that.

That's just me, I guess. And I think they're, I think they're on again this weekend. I'm not sure.

There's a few big fights coming up. I do, I do like my boxing. I do really, really do.

Oh, before I go, and again, it's too late because most people are asleep, probably falling asleep of boredom. I've done a few recordings today. So I've, again, as normal, I start off with an intention of what I'm going to talk about.

And then I don't end up talking about anything at all. And an hour later, I still haven't talked about anything. Really.

It's just, there's no, I can't think of any subjects really that I've actually talked about in any kind of depth or with any kind of point behind it. It's weird, isn't it? And in mind, I want to go. So thank you for listening.

Remember to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy. Do something nice for yourself. Do something nice.

Okay? So lots of love. Bye.
