#692 Let me bore you to sleep - MICHAEL JACKSONS POSTERIOR - Jason Newland (22nd July 2021)

Good morning. Yes, good morning. Welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland.

This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Hello, welcome. I don't normally do these recordings in the morning, not like daytime morning, sometimes early morning at night when it is dark outside.

But I woke up particularly early today. So I thought I would do one of these things now. I haven't done one for a few days because I've got no excuse.

Laziness, man, complete laziness, perhaps. Let me have a look. 690, 690.

14th of July. Yeah, I think 690. It's probably about five or six days since I last did one.

So, hey. Oh, yesterday I had my second vaccine for the plague. So I had the second one done.

And so I've continued with the experiment, the governmental experiment. Oh, you're not one of those conspiracy idiots, are you? No, no. Well, I'm not a conspiracist.

But I think it's pretty obvious. So we know that we don't get told information and we know that we get lied to by the government. So it's not, it's not.

I mean, they're blatant in England. They're blatant. Our prime minister actually lies about lying live.

I mean, he does it live on camera. And he lies. And then he then, you know, one day, the next day, he says he never said it.

But it's filmed. It's not like it's hearsay. It's actually he felt he's just a liar.

Apart from that, it's brilliant. If you think about all the stuff that's come out from the 50s and the 60s, you know, the stuff that's been released to the public information that was kept secret for all those years. So this makes me wonder what's going to be released in 50 years time.

So when I'm a mere hundred, I look forward to that. Find out what's what really went on during these days, these times. But I think I'm going to build myself an arc.

If the weather keeps going away is. I mean, wow. Honestly, I don't know.

I mean, if there's any if I can't even name one country, it's like if it's if any of my listeners have been affected by the. Torrential weather, the rain, the floods and stuff like that, I hope you're safe, I hope you're well, genuinely, because this is just crazy, absolutely crazy. You know, just when when you when you think it's kind of it's weird to get to 50.

Nearly 51. Blimey. The way I see it, right.

If I even if I keep my body and keep my health at the kind of level it is now, by the time I'm 60, I'll be quite healthy for 60. I'm just really unhealthy for 50. That's my logic.

So, yeah. I thought, you know, you get to a point where, you know, when you're around young people and it's like, oh, God, you just. I've seen it before, you know, they get excited about like a new kind of music or a new kind of fashion or it's like, oh, it's just that crap was popular when I was a teenager.

It's just it's not new. It's not new. And it's probably maybe it was the same, but I don't think it was because, you know, pre 1960s, everyone was like what uptight and, you know, just.

I don't know what I'm talking about, just bloody young people. I like young people, so I've got no issue with young people. But it's seeing things come around.

And I think that's the thing. I think that's one of the biggest problems with aging, getting older is the boredom, the boredom of the same stuff. It's just more of the same when it comes to even news bulletins, even it's a different scenario, but it's just more of the same.

It's just another horrible thing. News always focusing on horrible stuff, don't they? But a band breaks up like, yeah. Everyone's so surprised that the biggest band in the world has split.

Well, every biggest band in the world ever has split, apart from the Rolling Stones, maybe. But they know when they've got it good. So, you know, they haven't had to write a new song in 40 years.

Bless them. Oh, don't get no satisfaction. Yeah, I think you do, mate.

Oh, that's my Rod Stewart impression, or whatever his name is. Never into the Rolling Stones, didn't, didn't, because it wasn't my era anyway. It's the 60s and I was born in 70.

But I guess my dad wasn't into them, he was into the Beatles. And it seemed to be like two different camps in the 60s. Those that loved the Beatles and those that loved the Rolling Stones.

And I'm sure it didn't. I'm sure people loved both. I'm sure it wasn't just one or the other.

But my dad was definitely in the camp of the Beatles. So I heard the Beatles songs growing up from the age of seven to teenage years, he'd be playing the Beatles. So I fell in love with the Beatles.

Because, well, they were brilliant. But had it not been for my dad being into them and playing them, I probably would never, wouldn't know really much about them. Other than, you know, I didn't know the basic stuff that they were big and stuff.

But when I was really, they split up, they split up before I was born. What, a big band splitting up? Yep, they always split up. Apart from the Rolling Stones.

I don't get no satisfaction. I saw Michael Jackson in concert the other day on YouTube. And there was a lot of people there.

I can't hit you back. There was a lot of people in the audience. I mean, he could pull a crowd.

That's definitely a guarantee there, isn't it? But it was so obviously miming at times. So it's, you know, when he was talking to the audience, didn't mind that. It'd be difficult to mind wouldn't it, unless you've got really good timing.

It's warm in here. I've got the window open and everything. Oh, just itchy, itchy with itchy with stale sweat.

So I'm available if anyone wants to date me. So I was watching Michael Jackson on the YouTube video. And, you know, it's like, oh, you know, doing silly voice noises and stuff and dancing.

And the first thing I thought is because he had this silver costume on the same costume that he had on the cover of the history album. And there was a big statue of him, I think in London at one point. Because he was I think he's performed in London in 95.

And I'm seeing him and he's got these tight, silver, look like plastic-y latex trousers on. You can see he was sweating. I mean, he's got bright lights on him.

The lights that shine onto a stage are very, very bright. I know this having been on stage myself a few times over the years, over 250 times. But some of the lights, I mean, I was, I performed once at the Hackney Empire.

It was a new act competition. And I got through to the finals. Not the final, but one of the semifinals.

I didn't get through. See, so I'm not bragging. I didn't win.

But the brightness of the lights, very, very hot, as well as in TV studios as well. That can, I've been on TV once as well. So there.

Yeah. 1995. It was like a cable TV show called, what was it called? Live TV, I think it was called.

I'm not sure what it was called. And it was on Freeview, or it was on, I don't know what it was. I think it's maybe part of Sky or something.

It was just a channel on its own. And they did everything. They had like weird things like topless darts and a news bunny.

There's this big bunny that used to jump around while the newsman or woman was reading the news. And yes, it's a funny idea, novelty and stuff. But then when the news person, the news anchor, whatever they call them, is reading out a really serious thing.

You know, like send Charlie was kidnapped at 1030 last night in a shootout and for casualties. And you've got this Easter Bunny, the news bunny just jumping, hopping around, making faces and kind of didn't really work. It's just a little bit inappropriate, kind of.

But funny, to me funnier then. So when they're reading about some horrible thing, and then a news bunny was like hopping around and flicking his nipples and whatever, just it's made me laugh. But it was very inappropriate.

And again, they had topless darts. So it was family entertainment until the evening, then it turned into some would call sleaze, you know, some people that prudish people or whatever. But it was, yeah, it was, it was, I don't know, I liked it.

But I managed to I was on anyway, I had a competition and then I went along and I performed to think three people sitting in a chair in chairs and the production team and that was it. I'd love to get a hold of that copy of that tape. Because just, well, who wouldn't? You know, it's like 30 years ago, whatever.

95 2005 2015. Yeah, 25 years ago. 26 years ago.

Nearly. Blimey. Anyway, seeing Michael Jackson on the stage for some reason, I was just thinking, I bet his bum really stinks.

Just like because he's wearing a latex. That's good. Like, I can't believe I'm sitting here thinking about wondering what his bum smells like.

That's weird. Very weird. So I think you know, if you're gonna mime his is is my little thing that I think is my little 10 pence worth.

If you're gonna mime, not if you're like just doing a one, you know, going on to a TV show or because they might not have the setup for live singing. But if you're going to do a concert, not just that you're the biggest, most famous singer in the world, doing a concert in front of, you know, 100,000 people or whatever it was, 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, then my suggestion, it's a bit too late because he's dead. But my suggestion would be record the song separate.

So record it in the studio. But do like a live version of it. So people can hear you singing it live, although you're not really.

But it's a live version. So instead of sounding exactly like it does on the album, or on the single back then, on the CD, on the tape, in fact, yeah, tape. We did have CDs, but I didn't didn't use CDs.

But then I tape tapes. Because the CD, if anyone remembers back this this far, I used to like to listen to tapes on my tape recorder while I was walking down the street, you know, on the way to work or wherever. Now, CD players were big, very bulky, very bulky, didn't fit in your pocket.

I think like a latch that you could click on your belt or something. But, you know, if you live in East London, where I did, you don't. I don't know, generally, I kind of put things in a pocket.

So then just have them out on show because, you know, some people might want to take it. So it's plus, you know, if it's raining, or something like that. It's not great on the object, the mechanical, electrical object.

So I used to use tapes. But getting back to I ended up talking about Michael Jackson's bum, talking about the weather. So yeah, just, I hope that you're safe if you're living in a place where the weather's ridiculous.

And we've had that. We had it here, like two weeks ago. Nearly two weeks ago.

And I mean, nothing. I mean, I say here where I live in my little area. And it was minor.

It was, but it caused floods. We had, we must have had like a month's rain in about an hour, something stuff. And they said, but it was, it flooded parts of the area that had never been flooded before that I know of.

And it was very, the fire department were, you know, sucking off the residents, sucking out the water of their, because they're kind of basement buildings. And so yeah, so it was very, very unusual reaction to the weather. But it's basically, I think it's a drainage system.

You can't, if you've got like, you can only have, I'm trying to pretend I know something about plumbing. You know, the drainage systems are not built for a lot of rain, a huge amount of rain. And when it rains a lot, I mean, usually the roads get a little bit flooded and, you know, in the gutter where the drains are full, or they're just, you know, taking their time, they're not able to empty.

So maybe because they're blocked or whatever, and then the cars go past, the lorries go past, and you get sprayed with water. If you're a pedestrian, like myself, but that's usually it, maybe a pavement gets a bit flooded. If it rains a lot, but that's usually when it's raining continuously for a few days.

But this is crazy weather that we've had rain wise. So we had it hit a little bit, I think parts of England have been flooded. But there's parts of England that get flooded regularly.

And it's just, that's got to be a nightmare for those involved. And it's got, I think it's got to the point where they don't even put it on the news anymore, doesn't even make news, because it's just like more of the same. And which is terrible, really, because it's just, I've never experienced this.

I hope I never do. However, parts of London, this is I think the same week, maybe the same day, flooded, like the whole road flooded, and going into shops and flooded shops. Now that was, I think it was on a little news bulletin, then they forgot about it.

But you know, it wasn't because it was London specific, it wasn't really important enough, because all the news want to talk about is one subject. Should we guess what it is? No, we don't need to guess what it is, because it's been the same subject since February last year. One subject.

It's the only thing they really want to talk about. So I can't believe it. Yesterday, we were talking about the weather like in Germany, and Belgium.

There was huge, there was a huge floods in New York, I think, last week or the week before. And big flood, you know, rain, torrential rain. Again, briefly mentioned on the news here, or might have even seen on the internet, because we're not generally in, well, I said we, but the news in the UK is not that interested in American weather, generally, unless it's, they do cover the fires, the, the wood fires, or whatever they're called, the forest fires.

So they cover those sometimes. And the news channels here, generally, you know, not hugely, occasionally, they'll go into it, and they'll, they'll show stuff. And I guess fires more, more exciting than floods, maybe to the news stations.

I don't know. I mean, it's dramatic to watch. Scary and stuff, but I don't know.

It's, I don't really know what the agenda is on these news channels. But yeah, there was some torrential rain and some flooding in America. And now they've got the wildfires, but they have them every year.

It's like tornado. Parts of America have tornado seasons. I know some people say, well, why are you telling us that I'm American? I know, but it's for people that aren't American that might not know.

Although most people probably do know. But if you if you've got a tornado season, and you, you decide to live in a place that has tornadoes, then you can't really complain about tornadoes. You can prepare.

Of course, you can complain what you about whatever you want to complain about. But ultimately, you know, if you if you move into a flooding area, and you get flooded, what did you expect to happen? You know, it's however horrible it is if you move into an area that has because you can get a lot of cheap properties. Not that you'd be able to sell your property if you live in a place like that.

But if you do manage to find someone you could you know, if you you get cheaper property, but then will you be able to insure it? And who'd want to go through that? I think is what I think I think the government should pay everybody that lives in a place it's bought a place that lives in a place where floods that that place is not suitable to live. So everybody should get money. You know, the amount of money that covers the price of their house for getting the flood in just the house cost.

You know, if those to sell it in normal times, and if it was in a normal place, so not reduce because it's in a flooding place. The government I think should just give each person the money and let them move out to somewhere where there's no flooding. When everyone's moved out, knock the place down.

And maybe build some kind of reservoir or something. Use that area. If it's flooding area, use it to prevent flooding in other places.

I clearly don't know anything about what I'm talking about. But it's good though. And it almost sounds like I do know a little bit and I don't don't even know even a little bit.

It's brilliant being me. Ignorance really is bliss. I want to say thank you to Kathleen for your PayPal gift.

Thank you very much. I did say thank you by by by by email. I've been uploading my YouTube videos now I've been uploading my podcasts to my YouTube.

I think I mentioned it before and I'm still doing it. And it's taken ages, ages and ages and ages and I still probably got another week left. I might have it done by the end of the week.

Because it's Thursday now. Yeah, still yeah, I've got at least six, seven, maybe 800 to upload. Blimey, that's quite a lot.

Anyway, it's getting there. I'm doing it bit by bit. All day long.

I'm just just sharing them onto YouTube, organize them into playlists. And I'm losing subscribers every day. Because they're basically being bombarded by video after video new stuff.

And it's probably all they're getting on their feed on the YouTube feed is my stuff. Now. I don't know how to prevent that, to be honest with you.

It's I don't know, unless I just put everything as private, and then release it all. On on the day, I don't know, maybe maybe I should do that. Just make everything private.

And then once it's all uploaded, just release it all. I don't know. Oh, excuse me.

And the idea is once it's all I want to get everything that I've done, every single recording for my podcasts for the last three years, all uploaded, all shared onto YouTube, and then start to make videos, continuing what I've already done. So you know, it's got 691. Let me bore you to sleep recordings.

So then when I make a video be 692, there'll be a video. Or I might just continue sharing the podcasts and see how that goes for a while. And because I used to do that and I was getting I was getting an audience.

But I didn't share very often. So if I make sure that I share every single recording I do, maybe I won't need to make live recordings or video recordings. But they probably shall I probably shall.

I think of that I might have do that. I don't know what that was. So yeah, I'm just gonna get that done.

And it's very laborious really is. And it's part of the reason I've not done so much recordings because I've been first of all, been sleeping at night and awake during the day, which is okay when I'm making these recordings. But when doing the hypnosis sessions, it's it's not always ideal.

You know, sometimes I just feel a need a bit more quiet need a bit more, you know, a bit more peacefulness. Yeah, so what is it 22nd today, so it'll be the end of the month on Thursday, next Thursday, last day of the month. So I should be able to pay off some bills.

I've been watching a TV show called Ray Donovan. And I don't know if you've seen it, but it's it's a Showtime TV show. And it's 18, which is why I like it's good.

I like it. That's it. So I want to say I'm on the I've been not binge watching them, but it's it's the first TV show that's caught my attention.

Where I just want to watch every episode for a little while I do you know, I like to do that. I don't I prefer just to watch one TV show. And I think it's this thing is seven or eight seasons.

So I'm on season three now. Third of the way through probably. And I just Yeah, I just like it.

It's good. And the is it Jon Voight? Voight? Jon Voight? Is his name? I think it's Jon Voight. He is Jon Voight.

Jon Voight? No. Okay, let me I know what I'm gonna do. Oh.

Jon Voight. Yeah. He's brilliant in it.

I mean, he's a star of the show really. I know Ray Donovan is the star of the show. But Jon Voight, as Ray's dad, Mickey, is so good.

It's a funny character. And he, he steals, he's a scene stealer. Really, he is.

Now. It's weird if you think back, I think, didn't Jon Voight, he won an Oscar for that film he was in with Dustin Hoffman. The Cowboy.

What was it called? Jon Voight. Something Cowboy. Let me check.

Jon Voight. Midnight Cowboy. Didn't he win an Oscar? Awards? Oh, oh, maybe he didn't then.

All right. It was a nominated Academy Award nominated in Midnight Cowboy. I was in Deliverance as well.

No, he did. It was a film, Vietnam film, Coming Home. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Wow, brilliant. And just have a look. He may have.

Just have a look. He's won some Golden Globes. All right.

He also appears in Showtime's television series Ray Donovan as Mickey Donovan, a role that brought him newfound critical and audience acclaim and his fourth Golden Globe win in 2014. So he's a winner of one Academy Award, having been nominated for four. Blimey.

He's so good. He's 82 years old. And honestly, right? I'm not even saying this just for the sake of it.

Well, I am, but everything's just for the sake of it. But he's so brilliant in that show. He shines through the screen, his performance.

So it's just he's funny. He's horrible. He's ruthless.

He's kind, you know, he's got all these different things going on. One of the best characters in a TV show that I've seen for a while. Now, Ray Donovan is very it's kind of one dimensional in a sense.

It's like what you see is what you get. Yeah, there's anger and all kinds of stuff seething underneath. But he's just an angry, angry little man.

He's an angry big man. But his dad, Mickey, you know, such very, very colourful character. Oops.

But yeah, so I've been watching that show. That's the thing I've been watching most of really. I was watching Love Island.

I was I was watching Love Island a couple of weeks ago. And then I missed a couple of episodes because it's I was watching it on TV, normal TV. But I can watch on catch up.

And I also show on BritBox. And by the way, I don't know if you're in another country like America, for example. And check out BritBox.

I don't know if it's available. I don't see why it shouldn't be. It's just an app.

But if it's see if it's available in the UK, to it's a monthly subscription, it's not a lot of money. But if you if you like English or British television, or if you're an expat, if you're living in the US, you're English, but living in America, if you if you like English, or British TV shows, comedy, drama, stuff like that, check it out because there's so much stuff on there. It's really good.

Seriously. It's like a whole box sets of so much stuff. And it's I think BBC One, ITV, Channel 4, I think and Channel 5, I think all all the UK channels, the major channels have got together.

It started off I think BBC and then Channel 4 got involved. And then I think, basically all the channels are now got together to make this BritBox. And perfect, especially if you live in another country, because and you don't have access to the UK television, because even showing stuff that's recent.

So there's Love Island, for example, every day, they're putting on the latest episode of Love Island, as an example. Now, I reckon they should expand that and do that with the soaps. So you know, if it is available in other countries, just check it out.

Just it's BritBox. It's really good. I think it's only about $4.99 a month or something.

So it's not a lot. I get it free at the moment with my internet. So I've got it for six months or so till November, I think free.

And I don't really watch it very often. Even though I'm telling you about how great it is. I just got so much other stuff.

And I'm watching Ray at the moment. It's all about the Ray, all about the rays. Amazing last night, right? I look outside and it's dark and I'm thinking blimey, it must be late.

Wasn't even 10 o'clock. Two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago. Maybe a month ago, I don't know.

But I was in the park. And it wasn't even it wasn't dark at 10. I was there on my iPad doing some work, sitting in the park.

It was nice. Well, it was nice-ish. It was nice to be outside and to not have to talk to anyone because if I go in the garden, someone will come out and unfortunately, people don't even live here come into the garden.

It's like a free for all, which is a bit annoying. But hey, it's it's how it is. It's just no point fighting with reality.

That's how it is. But the weather. So obviously, there was Germany and Belgium here, like in Europe, other parts of Europe as well, I think.

But yesterday, China, they had something like a year's worth of rain in three days. And the last time I saw anything like that was during a tsunami 20 years ago. The the water moving, cars just floating upside down and buildings being pushed along and stuff.

It's just, you know, I couldn't, I didn't watch it on the news because they didn't show it on the news. They had done because my friend told me about it yesterday. He said he's seen China said no.

He said he's heard about China. I said, Yeah, of course I know China. Because I've heard of China.

He said no on the news. I said no, what's happened? He said the floods, they got floods. Now, I had to go on YouTube to actually see what was going on.

And it was shocking, absolutely shocking. Those people standing in a tube train, or an underground train up to their chests in water. I mean, that's just, I've not honestly never seen anything like it.

This is it's just like a horror movie. It's just like, blimey. And then it was a sinkhole.

I think it was in the train station or somewhere. And there was this, this bloke or girl or boy or I don't know, looking over the side of this sinkhole sitting down. And someone walks behind them and the whole thing collapses even more.

And they both fall in. And then some people fall in the other side. Which is a sinkhole keep away from it.

Because it's sinking. It's but hey, what can you do? I mean, it might be the first time they'd seen it, they might thought it was some kind of witchcraft. I mean, I don't know.

Maybe they thought it was a portal to a new dimension. Maybe they thought Dr. Strange was producing it. I don't know.

I don't know. So yeah, I just ordered five t shirts on Amazon. Boring news, isn't it? I've got some underpants.

I'm trying to these are cheap. This is cheap stuff, like really, but they're okay. So I think 12 pairs of underpants for 20 pounds or something.

And they're good. Well, I don't know what good quality is, but they're okay. And I got these t shirts extra large, they should be the right size for me.

I might I should pass I should have gone for XXL. And it's hard to know. It's hard to know.

But for the looks of it, they should be quite loose. Shouldn't be too tight. So I've got six t shirts, all different colors.

So that would be good if when I start making videos, just to have something bright and colorful, you know, to wear. I think it's 31 pound for six t shirts. It's not a lot is it? It's like five pound each, six pound each.

Maybe it's not a good deal. I don't know. I suppose if I went to the shop, I could probably get them cheaper, actually.

But that would mean going into the shop. Going there. Yeah, probably could have done by my I mean, I think with t shirts, it's just nice to have a lot of them.

So I can just wear them. And if I need to change one halfway through the day, I can just change it. And you know, if I get something on it, like my breakfast.

I'm a messy eater. I am. Some of it goes in my mouth.

Yep. So today, Thursday's only 13 minutes past seven in the morning. Which gives you an idea what time I started this because I'm 48 minutes in.

I just I'm not quite sure what. I mean, I had my jab yesterday. And luckily, I've not had the you know, any major effects.

Like last time, the first jab I was ill. This jab, I went to bed yesterday for a little bit and I did feel a bit unwell. Just a little bit like pains in the chest and stuff.

And breathing was a bit weird. But and a little bit tired. I had an early night.

I was in bed pretty much by midnight. And I did spend a fair bit of time in bed during the day. I mean, leg fell off.

But apart from that, it's fine. And yeah, so that's I was quite surprised and pleased, pleased. I do find there's a very lack of empathy from we've always found that with healthcare workers.

There's in a sense of not when you're ill. But when so not when I've been ill, ill. But when I've talked about having been ill in the past, I was like, well, was, you know, she said to me, did I have any side effects from the first? The first injection? I said, Yeah, I was really ill.

I was in bed. I was hallucinating. I had a fever.

She said, Oh, really? I might as well just said to her, I had a Mars bar last night. I think I got more of any interested response. As I asked the question, but she wasn't interested in the answer.

It was just a form to fill in. So I don't think she was taking any notice. Because I guess if you're just seeing one person after another, after another, after another, you can't really be human, a human being of all of them.

And she was friendly, which is to chat and stuff. But there's, there's a limit to how interested you could be, isn't it? I guess. And she was sort of, Oh, yeah, well, everyone's everyone's different.

It's like, okay. Oh, is it there's the compassion. There's the there's the NHS compassion I'm used to.

I think it's I think the NHS, I think we're very lucky to have a national health service. In this country, I do. You know, I think very, very fortunate to be born in an affluent country, although I'm not affluent.

It's a very rich country. I'm not rich by benefit from being born in a wealthy country. This is a wealthy country.

It's not the wealthiest country in the world, obviously, but it's, it's, it's a world to do. If this was a social environment, the world, we would be probably upper middle class, wouldn't be upper class, that would be America would be upper class. I don't know what countries in Europe would be ahead of us.

Maybe Germany, I don't know. But we're, we're probably above middle class, upper middle class, lower class would be the poorer countries. So, but I'm not I mean, I'm posh.

We don't realize about me is I'm posh in my head. In my head. I'm posh.

In reality, I'm pretty much the lowest. I'm on the low pile. I'm in a very on the low pile, you know, as far as society would see me.

I'm looking my seat look at 50 years old, don't have anything. Don't have any material wealth. This is not me complaining.

I'm just just saying from a from an out outward look, you know, from a from another person's expectations of what it should I should be at 50 and having mental health issues. I'm kind of societally on a much lower level than the average, even though we all know I'm not. But you know, in societal view, I'm not contributing to to society.

But we all know I am. Isn't it weird? It's okay. So you know, someone might be a therapist or they'll be able to see have face to face helping people.

But I can I can potentially help more people in a week doing this than they will in a lifetime. Maybe even in a day. Because of the broad specter and the broad net net, the whole you know, reaching, I mean, on a good day 12,000 maybe people might listen.

Never they don't want to see 12,000 people in their lifetime. If they see that, you know, six people a day. So they might be helping people their whole life, which is brilliant.

For me, who's not classed as really helping anyone, or being part of society or contributing. I'm perhaps helping more people. Perhaps I don't know.

I'm saying saying to my social worker, I said, I may not be contributing to our society, but I'm contributing to society as a whole. Because for me, society is the whole world. Yet now.

I've got a lot of people that listen to me that live in the UK now. It used to be majority was American, it still is the majority still is American audience. But my audience has grown a lot in other places like Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe, and the UK as well.

So I've got New Zealand, Australia, stupid dogs barking. And I was always really wanted to have a UK audience. Not, not instead of an American audience, course not.

But as well as because I'm here. I come on. Why is you not listening to me? Come on, listen to me.

I'm not that far away from you. Listen. I do have a few.

I don't know. It might only be a few hundred might be a few 1000. I don't know.

English people or UK people that listen. But it's nice. It's for years.

So I got such a tiny percentage of people from the UK listening to me. At one point, I think the UK was like fourth on the list. America, Canada, Australia, South Africa was, I think it's at one point was above the UK on YouTube anyway.

But so I quite like sound. One of the good things about SoundCloud is they were pretty good with their stats because it tell you where people were listening. Like what countries.

Now, I'm trying to think statistics. What do they do? See more geolocation. So according to this, United States, United States, right, always used to be like 80% or more percentage.

Now, the percentage is still much higher. Still, I'm still a lot, lot more people in America listening to me used to, but the percentage has gone down worldwide. So according to this, this is just based on the last 30 days.

Yeah, last 30 days, 48.32. So 48% America, 19% UK, 9% Australia, 7% Canada, and just less than 2% in Ireland, and then 1.4% in New Zealand. And then Sweden, and the rest of like just below 1%. So there's a lot of there's a big drop off after that.

But there's a lot of different countries, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Netherlands, India, Philippines, France, South Africa, Spain, Malaysia, Iceland, Denmark, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Emirates, Thailand, Italy, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and other.
