Hello and welcome to Jason Newland dot 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.

Now I'm recording this in the morning, it's 8.40 in the morning. Now my whole sleeping pattern has changed. It happens every now and then where I just suddenly become tired by 12, 1 o'clock and I just have to go to bed.

And yeah, it just means I don't get a chance to make the recordings at night. Well, I'm okay. Okay with that, it's just how it is.

So I'm making this recording. You know, sometimes I do it at sort of 5 in the morning or 11 at night. You know, it's no like regular time.

So did I say only listen when you can safely close your eyes? Well, I said it twice. There you go. So thank you for listening.

Got a message. I got a message. New customer message from.

I think I've already read it out. Already read it out. What day is it today? Tuesday.

Yeah, I have already read it out. I'm pretty sure I got a message the other day from Megan saying hello, Jason. Hope you're well.

Just sending love and positive vibes. And thank you again for being you. It helps so much having your voice to drift off to every night.

Absolute legend. Well, thank you very much, Megan. That's very kind of you.

I got a message from the gym. The gym that I used to be a member of. Kick off May for only £7.

First month half price. With code half price. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, bye.

No, thanks. Yeah. No, you're right.

I do wonder, would I need to wear a mask in the gym? I was watching a snooker. On Sunday night. And they had an audience for the first time.

They had the first audience for, blimey, over a year. And yeah, good for the audience. The atmosphere was better.

Everyone seemed to be happier. I don't know if they were. It's hard to tell with snooker players if they're happy or not.

But they were all wearing masks. They were sitting there for hours and hours and hours wearing a mask. Like, no, I couldn't do it.

I could not do it. I couldn't. I mean, I can wear one during the bus journey, which lasts for maybe 25, 30 minutes, maybe less.

20, yeah, 20 minutes. That's it. And that's a chore.

I couldn't sit there for hours. Not by choice. I mean, I guess, you know, if something is... No, I couldn't.

No, no, no. No, no, thank you. No, thank you very much.

No, no, I don't. You know, this is last... Going back to the first... Before the first lockdown or maybe during the very first lockdown in... When was it? March last year. I said to my brother, he was on furlough and he didn't have to do much work.

I don't think he was pretty much had quite a bit of free time. I said to him, this is a business opportunity for you. He said, what do you mean, Jay? Because that's how he talks.

And I said, call me Jason. I said, what you could do is sell masks. What do you mean, Jay? As I said, well, you know, the masks that people are wearing and they're going to make them so you have to wear them everywhere eventually.

What do you mean? No, stop. If he said, I said, well, because at that point, you didn't have to wear them everywhere. I can't remember.

I'm trying to think back to what it was like. But at the time, there was a time when you only had to wear masks when you went into the hospital. OK, you didn't have to wear masks to go into shops.

It wasn't compulsory. You didn't have to wear masks on public transport. It wasn't compulsory.

And then it became compulsory. And I said, I said, and you didn't have to wear masks in schools or in colleges. You know, there's a lot of places you didn't have to wear masks, you know, and it grew.

You know, I just figured it was going to grow. And I told my brother, I said, look, this is a business opportunity. If you sell masks with funny faces and funny messages on the front, you know, just comedy, fun masks, and you'll make millions.

You'll make a lot of money. And he couldn't be bothered. He didn't believe there was any money to be made from it.

And there was because, you know, the masks really have become part of our society in a way that I don't think anybody believed was possible. I believed it. But I just I don't know when.

I'll be careful with my wording when. Okay, what is how can I word this nicely? Stupidity has no limits. No, that's not the one I want to say.

It's I just just I just saw that it was going to be. It was just going to be everywhere, you know, everywhere it was going to be. And masks, you know, face coverings, it was just going to be it's going to grow.

And it did. And I predicted that it was going to continue for much longer than the shut. It wasn't because originally it was just going to be during the lockdown.

You know, you only wear this stuff during lockdown and we go back to normal. And then, of course, that wasn't the case because after lockdown still had to wear masks. And then because, you know, they couldn't predict what was going to happen.

Well, if they could, they didn't predict it. And I said to my brother, as I said a long time ago, I said just because he had he's got a little bit of money he could have invested in it. He said, well, why don't you do it? I said, look, I've got no money and I'm busy.

I've got my own business to run. You know, I'm doing I make podcasts and do hypnosis and I don't have the time. But I'll happily take a percentage of your business for the idea that I've given you.

And he didn't want to do it. And you could say it's easy in hindsight. But this is a conversation I really had very early in this whole thing.

Before people had to wear masks, you know, it was advised. It wasn't compulsory. You know, it was a time when people would some people would be on the bus with a mask.

Some people would be on a bus without a mask. Some people would be in the supermarkets with masks. Some would be without.

It was optional. And then it was compulsory. So I remember standing, waiting in queues and you see some people masks, some people without.

And there was no issue because, you know, it wasn't the law. It wasn't the law at that time. Mind you, standing two meters away is not the law.

Never was the law. So if someone comes up to you and says, you've got to stand two meters away from someone, even if it's a police person, you can say, no, I don't. Show me the law.

It's not in the law. It's recommended. It's not the law.

Pig. No, don't say pig. No, don't say pig.

Oh, my God. I just thought it'd be funny to say. So, yeah, don't say, you know, don't say it like that because you might get less.

Let's say the police person, a police human would. If they want to arrest you, they'll find a way just to wind you up to the point where you'll be abusive to them or you'll say something horrible to them or, you know, they'll that, you know, they I've seen them in action. I was amazed by police.

I've got I've got a cousin who's a policeman and I've had other cousins that were police as well. So they've but I just I've met a couple that were nice, but I've met so many over the years, the detectives and they're so obnoxious, so arrogant, like really like forceful. Talking down to me or talking down to other people, because if I hear if I see a police stop someone in the street, I like to just sort of listen out.

Just I walk slowly so I can see what's happening. And, you know, the people that can really you can be a police person, not be physically, but you can outsmart them by being more obnoxious to begin with. But you need to have a reputation.

So basically, you need to be one of the horrible people in the streets that you see. You know, if you everyone's got some of those, you go in town and they're there with their can of strong lager, hurling abuse at people that they're the people that the police don't go near. And they can hurl abuse at the police and the police do nothing.

If we hurl abuse at the police, we'd get arrested. It's not ironic, isn't it? I've I've heard literally. I've seen and heard, and in fact, I was actually with someone that did it.

And he was he was well known, whatever. And he saw some police and they said, what are you up to? F off. Or knock you out or something like that.

And they just left him alone. Now, if I did that, if one of us did that as water or you'd get arrested, you'd have 16 police kneeling on you before you knew what was happening. See, anyway, I'm not here to moan about police because I'm sure there's a nice one out there.

I've got no issue with the police. We rely on them, don't we? We rely on them. But I just met a few really nasty ones over the years.

And it's a shame because I'm sure there's lots of nice ones out there. But then what you do affects who you are, doesn't it? And imagine if living in that world of horror, it must almost like being in a living in a horror movie, being a policeman or being a paramedic, the things that they see, the things that they have to deal with, it must just be horrible. And just like human beings, because we're all a bit dumb in a way of generalizing, they start to generalize that everybody's up to no good.

When it's not true. Just like I know people that are proper wrong, wrong-uns, and they think that everybody's a wrong-un, but they're not. There's loads of nice people out there living their lives.

In fact, I'd say it's the majority of people just trying to get on and live their life, bring up their family or look after people, looking after themselves, dealing with whatever. Who doesn't want any hassle? They're just living their life. That's the majority.

I think if we're going to generalize, let's get it right. Generalize the fact that most people are decent. I do believe that.

I think generally, apart from police, obviously, I should title this, I hate the police people. I don't. I don't hate no one.

Well, I'm not a big fan of Wombles. The Wombles of Wimbledon, the Womble are we. The Wombles of Wimbledon, the Womble are we.

One of my favourite tunes when I was a kid is the Banana Splits. One banana, two banana, three banana, four banana. If you're not a soldier, there's only some more.

must go Hanzo, always ready one for all and all for one helping everybody one for all and all for one it's a funny story la la la la la another one I used to like was the Muppet Babies Muppet Babies make your dreams come true Muppet Muppet Muppet Muppet Babies I've got a very croaky voice at the moment that's because of all the coughing I was doing for last week but my voice should go back to it's normal silkiness soon oh a fraggle rock let the music play going for another day did you do down

a fraggle rock now on a fraggle rock the trash heap has spoken see oh dear Jason although I really appreciate all the attempted singing of the songs of the old cartoons from the 80s it doesn't take away the fact that you called a policeman a pig I'm very unhappy with that I didn't call a police person a pig I just said I said it ironically I didn't say it meaningfully I love pigs I mean I I do I think pigs are really cute they are apparently they're all animals aren't they and you know they do

their best to help people and they you know they they you know I mean that they they do their best and they've got little little pads and a little pencil and they take notes I mean it was a time you need to actually had to have qualifications to join the police force but now not so much and I think that that's quite evident and also you used to have to be a certain height because I wanted to be a police man when I was about probably about 14 I decided to want to be a police

man because I was very much into I wanted to tell people what to do and I wanted to be controlling which as we all know is a quite a severe mental disorder to want to be like that but so yeah I wanted to control other people what narcissist what are you talking about so I wanted to yeah and I was told that was too short and I said what are you talking about Willis and she said my name's not Willis what the bloody hell her TV show hasn't been on for about seven years and this

you know I said I know she said why are you quoting it then I said I don't know I was trying to show off I thought if I showed off you might let me see your feet she said what I said I don't know she said you want to see my feet no I don't I can't stand feet okay well you can't be a policeman what else would you like to be I said I want to be a reflexologist she said you can't stand feet I said what's that got to do with it show me

your knees I was a little perv I think she said do you want to see my knees I said no I don't want to see your knees why did you say show me your knees I wasn't talking to you but I'm the only one here or is this a Robert De Niro movie who you talking to I'm the only one here ooh what show me your elbows that's it I'm sending you to the headmaster oh please don't why why shouldn't I know I can't think of a reason you might as well send me can't think

for a reason can I see your calf muscles get out see ya by the way none of those parts of the body that I mentioned have I have any interest in at all so I didn't feel so bad mentioning them show me your knees I touched a girl's knee once in the cinema she told her boyfriend he wasn't happy he chucked popcorn at me and yeah I I wasn't tall enough to be a police police man so I was I think I pretty much hit my height by 15 14 or 15 I don't think I've

really grown in height since that age it's a 5'8 yeah I'm pretty much I've not grown in height at all grown in height at all since I was 15 and if I was shorter at 14 which I might have been it would have been by about an inch like I know we all know that an inch is a hell of a lot but it you know technically I was never gonna be tall enough because you had to be I think at least 5'11 if not six foot to be a police man now I think I

think they did have police women but it's more as a trial it was more like a novelty thing because it just wasn't it wasn't so normal not normal at the time it wasn't normal I mean they did have police women but they just there wasn't that many of them it was I guess like female boxing just didn't you know now it's people are starting to realize that women are actually better why that's my opinion women are better at boxing than men the female boxers are actually better at it because women are more aggressive women are

tougher than men and I think maybe that's the reason some horrible men they know that they don't like it yeah but women I've known it I mean I was lucky enough to experience the the evil side at a young age but I I knew that if women got in the ring boxing ring that they wouldn't back down ever wouldn't back down and I was right and I predict that the female boxers are going to eclipse the male boxers not all of them but there's going to be a couple of females a couple of females in

the future that will be like the top possibly the biggest box office and then it's sad it's very sad right but the only way you know the way they can do that is by being brilliant at boxing but also by being really attractive to the general people that you know and it is is sad but the way you know that goes but that person so if you get someone the equivalent who's let's say okay for those that know boxing if you get a female boxer who is kind of the equivalent of Golovkin or they don't

have to be pound for pound best in order to be the most famous okay because I'm thinking if you go back to the if you go back through the TV time for my generation anyone pretty much in their 50s below and even anyone who's young now hasn't had there's only been one person that's really shook shook the world you know during my kind of lifetime not my lifetime but during there the 80s and onwards or the 90s onwards Pamela Anderson however sad that might be she was the pin-up of this generation the female pin-up she

was huge huge star so if you get someone like Pamela Anderson becoming a world champion boxer but really good like she'll be popular whether she's good or not but if you get someone that's really good like proper you know phenomenal boxer and they have the look to be fair I think it's some beautiful boxers out there I want to date a boxer now I love a squashed face there's something I'd I think I do I'd I'd like to date a boxer a female boxer but boxing is kind of my passion it's it's I know watching

it but you know I'd like to get involved in it maybe do hypnosis with people to help them to focus and you know stuff like that maybe in the future I can get involved I'd love to date a female boxer and there's a couple that I really fancy or even MMA it doesn't have to be UFC even you know it doesn't have to be a boxer but I just because I'm more into boxing than I am into the other fighting arts although I like all of them but boxing is my main thing I'd be so

cool to date a boxer unless I upset her now then it wouldn't matter she's the girl she want me to hurt me would she who yeah right so that's what I see I foresee the future I think the boxers now the female boxers now are just the beginning in fact they're not the beginning because they've been female boxers for a long time but it's becoming more popular and I reckon it's gonna be really popular really popular in the future now there are there are ways they could improve the viewers figures but you know it'd be

you know I'm just saying this if they wanted to get 10 million people watching a female boxing match pay-per-view they could but it wouldn't be a proper boxing match but you know it's I do I really do think that the female boxers are going to be the future but there weren't many female police back when I was a kid but then there wasn't you know it was just standard you know like white man and they're usually quite big because I had to be quite tall police officers that was it now it doesn't matter how tall

you are I see a police officer he couldn't have been more than about five four I guess when there was a problem at school they send him he deals with the school the school kids I suppose if the school if there's a fight outside the school he goes and sorts them out perhaps goes undercover they think he's one of them or maybe he just deals with little people gets called when there's a circus problem I don't know I don't know I'm just saying he's he's little the thing is you do kind of like just want

to pick him up and give him a cuddle you know so I think that that helps that helps it's it's hard it's hard to get angry or to get upset I think it a really short person wearing a costume or you know a police costume it's almost like oh oh come here come here sit on my lap oh just want to just cuddle them and just oh you're so cute you're like it you're almost like a human oh you know what you were almost real like a real person almost it's nice so that's the short

policeman I think one of the funniest things maybe it's wrong but I was in the West End and I saw two policewomen trying to arrest a man it was like a Benny Hill sketch seriously though in this alleyway and there was probably I don't know 30 people standing around watching I was just outside a bookshop and I was watching as well and they were trying to grab him and he was escaping and they couldn't keep him down and it was just funny it's funny to watch because why are they doing the job if they can't

do the job is my regardless whether it's a female or male if you can't if the two of you cannot hold one person down and he wasn't big he was probably yeah just average size quite young and he wasn't hurting them he was just escaping from them and then he grabbed him again he didn't pushed him he didn't punch nothing he didn't do anything I was gonna get involved if that happened but he didn't you know didn't do anything he just was trying to get away from them and it was funny it was like watching

some kind of I don't know what was it like a puppet show it was it was like a puppet show watching you know a couple of yeah it was like a muppet a muppet thing and he kept getting away and they kept grabbing her again one was grabbing his ankles one was grabbing his arms just let us arrest you yes and eventually they had back up and there was about 15 police cars and a van turned up and you know overkill as it normally is but it was so funny to watch because they couldn't do

it they couldn't do their job and I think you know why didn't they they got truncheons that's in the days when they had truncheons they didn't have tasers back then because this is this about 20 years ago but they had truncheons well then they hit him with a truncheon or subdue him you know use a I mean there's arm locks and finger locks and ankle locks and all kinds of stuff that you can do with a truncheon and you know those extendable truncheons plus if you if you hit someone it hurts because they're metal but

they didn't do anything just like it's almost like they they were pretending that they were in a wrestling in some mud and he just happened to be there I don't know maybe that's what it was maybe the two police women were just I don't know what it's all about pretending they were wrestling in mud and he turned up and they just grabbed him into it I don't want to wrestle in mud leave me alone I'm just a thief stop we want you to join in we love wrestling in mud wrestling in wrestling in mud yeah

I pity the fool hmm yeah so that was a funny experience but then I remember when there was quite a serious incident around here and one of my friends anyway yeah went to the hospital and the detectives were here and they said they asked me questions about my other friend at least downstairs I said and they were with him because I would question and questioning people he said what's his name I said you know his name you're in his flat you know his name I want you to tell me no you know his name he

felt stupid I was I was a little bit upset because my friend was badly hurt so I was not really in a compliant friendly manner at that time because I was very concerned about my other friend but the stupid questions he was asking me it just annoyed me I just said well you know he's asked me about other people where were you when this happened what when it happened or after it happened what's the difference well after it happened I was busy burying the weapons no I didn't say that I said I was watching I

was watching telly but they're very heavy-handed sometimes I just remember down I came out my flat one day and it was about four or five men standing at my neighbor's door who lived downstairs and she was female lived on her own so I didn't like the look of that you know it's like come on this is this is overkill plus she's a vulnerable person I didn't know who they were so I asked them you know why was there four men or five men what yeah what can I help you they said yeah we're detectives says

yeah do you know who lives here I said yeah who is it said well you're here you know who lives there there's a council apart this is a council flats it's not hard to find out who lives here you know that's why you come here and I'm not very useful not very helpful am I but I didn't want them picking on her and I didn't want to say her name or anything because she was my friend and again she was vulnerable and I thought that was a bit overkill because she was just a woman not

just a woman but she was a woman on her own what were they gonna barge in there so I was gonna make sure that that didn't happen well I was at least a witness to it so yes they said oh yeah we there's a bloke a man living I said no there's no man living there there's a woman and you know what you know a name so there's no man living there oh they went away another thing I noticed what they do is they showed you their ID card so quick there's no way of seeing

it I mean when I was a special detective when I was a kid a secret agent you know would have or private detective depends what year it was and you know when I was about 10 11 I'd get you know a little badge my ID and I'd show it to them I would just like show quickly and then just close it up that again is manipulative it's controlling so yeah I think they're pretty there's a lot of really horrible people that do that kind of work and I think maybe it's because bloody birds everywhere again

I'm generalizing because that's just what I've experienced they're probably mostly lovely and I think I'm so glad we got police I tell you Wow there'd be no use to me but I know that a lot of people have found them useful helpful they've never once been there when I've needed them but hey you never know what's in the future so hopefully there will be in the future but they never have yet I mean even the last time I phoned the police they were useless this is when a lady downstairs she collapsed mum couldn't get in

because the door was locked from the inside the key was in the lock and her mum didn't know what to do and so I said call an ambulance and her mum was saying no don't call an ambulance yet don't know what's happening wait till her sister gets here I said if you don't call an ambulance I'm gonna call an ambulance so she called an ambulance I think I might have sworn as well I was getting really frustrated call an ambulance don't stand around your doors collapsed what you waiting for we waiting for it to start

becoming sunny outside just call an ambulance so she did ambulance said they're gonna be up to 45 minutes and I said really that's ridiculous so I called up the the what's it I called out the police and I said there's a lady downstairs she's collapsed we can't get in the door needs kicking in or something we need to get access and the police said what do you want us to do what do you expect us to do about it like his words I said I expect you to come here and sort it out and help

they said we can't do that you have to call the fire brigade if you want I said so she's there haven't had a heart attack lying there haven't had a heart attack you're saying that you're not gonna come and help the ambulance said they're gonna be 45 minutes no one seems to care can you help could you advise me on that one why no one cares and he said nothing we could do sir and I'm not sure if you hung up or just said goodbye that was it well within about five minutes the ambulance was

there so I'm pretty sure the fact that I mentioned heart attack and all that stuff the the ambulance the police called the ambulance said get there now and the luckily my friend and me we got the window off of the kitchen from the outside but it was a small gap and her sister turned up my sister's really slim she was able to climb in and just as she was climbing in the ambulance turned up and she got in got the key checked on her sister sister was on the floor still still conscious and I think

she yeah she I don't know she anyway she she opened the door no one was allowed in other than the ambulance because she wasn't decent she didn't have any clothes on or something I said I'd had some first aid training but they still wouldn't let me in and yeah it's just there is that kind of like as it turned out she did have a heart attack and she did die so hey not that day she was she did die they resuscitated her in the ambulance and then this is a Friday and on a Monday she

passed away unfortunately but it's just like when's an emergency an emergency I don't get it my friend had a blood clot on his leg went to the doctors oh no you can come back tomorrow make an appointment wait since when is a blood clot in the leg not being an emergency things are really gone a bit strange I mean that is an emergency situation as far as I'm aware it's not something to just be oh yeah come back tomorrow we'll give you an appointment at 430 okay it's like what absolutely it's almost like the compassion's

gone the compassion's run out maybe it has maybe people just had enough enough and run it run out of caring really Andre do you have to go to a toilet underneath my table I saw my feet go yeah I know my feet stink what's that got to do anything oh he's trying to make the carpet smell nicer by pooing on the carpet so that the air around smells nicer than my feet takes away the smell of my feet that's just rude Andre it's rude you wind me right up right up little piggy now I really

wanted to be a police police person I did always had quite a good sense of I don't want to use the word right or wrong but a good sense of wanting to control people and tell them what to do yeah I could have I feel I'd have been quite good at that yeah telling people like pick that up because at the moment I could tell someone to pick a bit right it could chuck some rubbish on the floor I say to them pick that up and they just say no walk off laughing at me or

it could escalate to something worse but ultimately they're not going to pick it up now if I've got a costume on and you know have an official job doing that I could say pick that up and they say no we're going to do about it and I could know that I'm going to win and pick it up and if they keep saying no then I call for backup and then they get kneeled on and get held down and get arrested and get taken over dropping some rubbish on the floor because they haven't done what I

told them to do oh imagine how much fun that would be going around ordering people to do stuff oh I feel moist just thinking about it telling people what to do do this do that do that go on get it done pick that up put your mask on yeah I've noticed over the last this lock not even just this lockdown but that's kind of still going I've noticed that some shop people people that works in the shops have started to take on an attitude that you'd get from a security guard or from a police person

an attitude of authority telling people what to do stand there please stand on that that that circle there please keep your distance please say please some of them won't remember to wash your hands with the sanitary before you come in telling people where to go and what to do and I think maybe enjoying it now I don't want to be told what to do I don't feel I'm in the minority there I think most people don't really feel the need to be told what to do although with something like McDonald's if they've got a specific

system you know use the middle machine okay if that's what you want me to do you know if they've got their system but yeah I noticed that there's been even as things are opened staff are almost turned into security guards they're standing at the door like security guards and they're not security guards they're just members of staff so it's it's strange to see it strange strange to see all of this changes I do wonder will things go back to normal though I don't know I just honestly don't know well I like to think that they

will but I didn't I didn't know will things just go back to and how long we're gonna have to wear the masks on the buses or on trains I find that the the masks the face masks I buy the surgical ones and they just make my face itch they make my face itch like well you're probably wearing them wrong maybe take them out of the package no I do what do you think I am I was proper windy yesterday like really really windy now it's windy but it's like normal windy if that makes sense yeah

it's just windy but yesterday it was in fact I took Andre out last night wasn't late early evening still still a bit light it wasn't dark out yet took him out I put my rain my coat on which is kind of quite good for rain it was so windy and so rainy I decided to come back home he didn't want to go out he was just clinging to me shivering and I just thought I'm just gonna get wet what's the point and when it's really windy I try and keep away from trees you know I

mean like proper probably gal force I'd say yesterday not hurricane of course but gal what if anyone's ever called hurricane whenever I think of hurricane I think of there's a boxer wasn't it called hurricane also there was a hurricane Higgins the snooker player I think with boxes oh no he's talking about boxing again yeah so what the thing about boxing is I think boxers should have a few fights before they give themselves a nickname find out what they're about you know find out what for themselves you know what kind of hidden abilities they may have

they might you know before they name themselves so for example Joe Joyce he calls himself the juggernaut but he learned that he was almost like an immovable object just keeps going forward and he's juggernauts a brilliant name for him Hitman Hearns he also used to call himself the Cobra as well I think because he's like his arms were like snakes they're so quick but Hitman Hearns marvellous Marvin Hagler okay is something you might not know marvellous Marvin Hagler he wasn't as popular as he should have been I mean he's arguably one of the best middleweights

of all time it was phenomenal he was a great boxer but the I think there was a I don't think it's a news crew or the news presenter or the boxing presenter you know commentator didn't take a shine to him and he refused to call him marvellous Marvin Hagler call him Marvin Hagler but not marvellous Marvin Hagler so Hagler didn't like that so he changed his name by depot to marvellous Marvin Hagler so that they had to call him marvellous Marvin Hagler he didn't have no choice because that was his name that's brilliant and it

actually changed his name to marvellous Marvin Hagler but some of these boxes I see them in there I've not seen them before they're maybe they're fighting someone that's on the way up and they're maybe they're almost like a journeyman boxer at this point and they're like now we're going to introduce from Croydon standing at 5 foot 11 weighing 182 pounds 28 years old had 32 fights winning 12 and losing 20 winning three by KO introducing Roy unbeatable the unbeatable lion Johnson like the unbeatable like let's find out whether you're unbeaten first and there's another one

he'd be knocked out about six times in the last ten fights that he'd had indestructible he called himself indestructible not so much changed the name maybe to fragile chin fragile chin this is Jason the fragile chin Newland Jason please don't punch me Newland oh dear right I'm gonna go I'm not sure if I even told you about all the stuff that happened the other day but never mind it don't matter it weren't that important to start with no this little piggy went to market remember that song this little piggy stayed at home this little piggy

ate roast beef and this little piggy had none and this little piggy went all the way home remember that no me neither thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself do something nice for yourself today lots of love bye
