Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland. Hello, how are you doing? Is you okay? That's nice.
Please only listen when you can. Safely close your eyes. Right, just to let you know, I have, as well as my normal website jasonnewland.com, I've also got a website specifically for this Let Me Bore You To Sleep.
It's called letmeboreyou.com. Let me bore you not to come. And basically, it's just got the Let Me Bore You To Sleep recordings on here. And you can play them and you can, oh, you can download them as well.
Which means, kind of don't need the other website really. Oh, okay. So yeah, that's it.
So it's letmeboreyou.com. You go on there, and it's just basically, it's just like going to a podcast is a podcast. And you can play, you can stream the recording. Each individual one.
So the last recording was number 1071 BAFTAs. Let Me Bore You To Sleep 19 February 2021. There's a 10 hour version, five hour version music and the one without music.
As I said, you can stream or download each individual recording. Or if you choose, you can share to Facebook, to Twitter, Instagram. What's the other one? Pinterest, Pinterest.
Yeah, or you can get the link, copy the link and just then share it to whoever if you want to share stuff. And then the one below that is all that's itchy on my arm. Number 1070.
I need bog roll. And again, 10 hours, five hours music, one without music, can stream or download. And then it goes on and on down to 1069.
I don't know if this will have every single recording, I don't know how far it goes back. So I'm just going to check that now. Hopefully, if if the page itself doesn't allow you to go all the way down to number one, which would take quite a long time to do, to be honest, if you keep just pressing the button.
I, what I could do is just add pages, which will have those recordings, you know, organized. It's quite easy to do, I think. It might not be hard, it might not be easy to do all actually.
What if it allows you to search for stuff? Does it allow you to search? Yeah, it does. Let me just see if I can choose 103. 100.
No, no. 100 and 100. Oh, it's got 916.
I'm thinking, maybe it doesn't go all the way down. It doesn't. Wonder how far it goes down to.
I think it's at least 500 recordings. I know it's not enough if you want to go to the more elder ones. But I will make those available on there.
Small work. So I've just literally done that. I already had the URL, the domain name from July, I think it was.
And it just meant signing up for another web hosting, which is something I've also had before. So basically connecting the two together and then connecting the RSS feed to that page from SoundCloud, which means it's all play. So if you're not on SoundCloud, and you don't necessarily use a podcast app, you're not on Facebook or whatever.
So you can just go to letmeboyyou.com. And that will be you better play. It's basically it is a podcast. And you'll be able to play the latest recordings.
I'm not sure how far back it goes. But I will sort that out anyway. And also, also, I've been uploading my podcasts to YouTube.
And so far, it's just recordings without any music. But there are currently 2048 recordings on there. I'm looking at uploading or not uploading, but to it's basically a pretty I give the RSS feed, which is the feed from the podcast.
And YouTube gradually uploads them to YouTube, it takes a while, it does, because there's a lot of a lot of stuff there does take a while, but eventually, I might have all of the recordings on there. But it's just another place to listen, if you want to, if you like listening on YouTube. I mean, they're not videos as such, they're just static pages.
But the audio is the same. It's exactly the same. It just means you'll be on YouTube instead of Spotify or Apple podcasts or cast box or tune in or wherever else you listen to your podcasts.
And of course, you just go to let me bore you.com. Really wondering how far this is going to go back. Now it's got the Oh, that's weird. I get rid of them.
There's no reason for them to be all the Jason's bedtime story times are on there. I think there must have just been stuff that I've added onto. Oh, go away.
Oh, that's gone back to before. Anyway, I can sort that out, figure it out, figure out what's going on. And sort it out, you know.
So what else is there? It feels like a Sunday, sunny Tuesday. But it feels like a Sunday. Why is that? Anyone? Is that strange? It just just it feels like it really genuinely feels like a Sunday.
Alright, okay, so I found out it goes down to 865. So that's how many recordings are. And it goes from 865 all the way up to 1071.
So I don't know how many recordings that is. Items per page, I think I'll do 100 per page. And there are five pages.
So there's 500 recordings on the podcast. Going back to the 19th, about the 19th of July 2022. So you know, it goes back a while, not a huge amount of time, but there may be a way I can add the other recordings, or at least, at least put some pages in with the playlists from SoundCloud.
You know, so you can do that. Or I wonder, I wonder, wonder, wonder, add a new page. I won't do it now because it's going to distract me.
But the last 500 anyway, so that's not too bad. I mean, Apple podcasts, I think does the last 250. And some places only do the last 200 podcast apps.
So you're not going to find many apps out there that will have every recording from the Let Me Bore You To Sleep catalog. You need to the only way you can listen to them or get to listen to them is by going to my website, jasonnewland.com. And they are on there. But generally to download, or the Spreaker.
On the Spreaker, I've got all 1071 recordings without music on there on the Spreaker. I say all there's a there's a few that I lost along the way, unfortunately, but generally most of them are on there. Let me just check.
Spreaker, where are we? Spreaker. I mean, each of these podcast hosts has their own benefit, you know, they've all got their own little uses. So Let Me Bore You To Sleep, there are 1057 recordings.
So I have lost a few 1071. So 1061 says 13 recordings I've lost along the way, which is a shame, but hey, better 13 than 1300. So, although I couldn't lose 1300, because then I'd have to wait.
Well, I haven't got enough. This is 1071. That's what I'm saying.
Glad I didn't lose all of them. You never know, I might find some, but I've looked I've gone through all the archives, I've gone through the all the different bits, places where not hide stuff, but store stuff, hiding stuff, it sounds a bit dodgy. And I will have this little idea that one day I'll come across an old podcast that has all the stuff on it.
Oh, but that hasn't happened yet. No. I wonder with the jasonnewland.com. Jason Newland.
So jasonnewland.com still on there. Let Me Bore You To Sleep. 1071, 70, 69.
So there's 45 pages. It goes 12345678910, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. It's 15 per page.
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
You never know there might be some stuff on here that I can that I've mislaid, and they might actually be on my website stored, which would be groovy, as I'm sure you agree so other things I've done is I tried to make it a little bit easier for you to find stuff so when I make a recording so for example yesterday I did the 1071 the BAFTAs so on the page on my website it also as well as giving you the opportunity to download all four versions of the recording all at once you can also as a link it was a listen on the following podcast apps and it gives you YouTube,
Spreaker, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Podcast Addict, TuneIn, CastBox, GoodPodz, Amazon Music, Audible Podcasts, Online, GetPodcast, PodVerse, Fountain and SoundCloud and so there's all those different links and you click on each one of those Spotify for example and it brings you currently it will bring you to just bring you to the Spotify podcast for Let Me Boyd Asleep now at the moment that's fine because it will bring you to because you come in there to see the latest recordings now on the website I'll need to change that so that it brings
you to the relevant recordings as opposed to just to the podcast now I don't know what will happen when Spotify for example or Apple Podcasts when it gets to its 250 limit so if I've got a link to a recording that's outside that number so you know for example I've got 1071 and then 1400 so I'm at 1400 in the future and on the website someone wants to go and look at the 1071 on Apple Podcasts and if I've got that link will it take me to that page or will
that page be deleted will it not be there anymore because it only holds the last 250 that made sense in my mind but verbally didn't really produce itself in a way that even satisfied me to be honest I hope that made sense to you I hope still feels like a Sunday I don't know why I don't really understand it yesterday there was nothing about yesterday there was a Saturday I don't think don't think so isn't that you know there wasn't anything like oh I wasn't watching boxing in the evening or
anything like that but today feels like a Sunday I tell you what it could be I tell you what it could be the school is closed yesterday what this week because it's half term here half term the rest of the country but here for some reason it's in my county it's half turn this week so I guess not here in the school yesterday and not have and there was a lot of people around yesterday during the day in the park what walking their dogs and stuff and kids in the playground
in the park rather which is unusual on a normal Monday so maybe I in my brain so I wasn't really registering the half turn and all these dogs and perhaps my brain like decided it was Saturday that I who knows it had the Saturday feeling kind of yeah I'll try to think of anything that's happened but very little happens in my life my mouth is healing it's still it's still sensitive it's still sensitive I don't mean you know I've got I've got a tiptoe around it you know it's not sensitive
in a I can't mention its weight or anything like that no you're calling me fat no I'm not I'm not I'm not you're chunky I don't know it's not sensitive emotionally it's just sensitive a little bit and the wisdom teeth apparently to the hole is huge when I do the wisdom teeth there's a big old tooth and I mean when the dentist pulled it out he did but I thought he's gonna shove it in my eye because you like put it right in front of my face but I was you
know and then he put it away and he dropped it into a metal bowl and shook the whole building so I think it might have been quite a big tooth but you know what's weird this is totally true there's a little bit weirdness here it's unusual for me it shut up it's unusual and the weird the weird thing is I've still got a little tiny tiny tiny don't worry I'm not going anywhere weird with this one I've still got a really small particularly so a little small bit of pride connected
to having a wisdom tooth like it means something because of the name you know if you've been called a firefighter tooth or a paramedic tooth or a scientist tooth you know I mean I wouldn't think to myself I'm a scientist I'm a firefighter you know I wouldn't think that so it's called a wisdom tooth um for some reason I thought oh maybe I'm a little bit wise and so I got them in them in my 20s probably early 20s they came through weren't a big deal to be honest is there
was enough room in my mouth and they probably didn't feel any more than what it feels now when they were coming through I might have been a bit achy but it's just I don't remember it being a huge deal I don't remember it being it might have been I don't remember it being anything to write poetry about and I had a little bit of like because I didn't know what they were I did like what I knew it was a tooth I'm bright enough for that but why why am I
growing teeth at this age you know in my 20s why surely it wasn't replacing an old tooth that's what I couldn't understand because all previous teeth were replaced they were replacements for the original teeth but this one was almost like it just popped up on its own and it was late for the party and it's like why are you here don't know me but who sent you don't know me but what is your what is your what's the point of you don't know me well what you called I'm the wisdom
tooth you don't know much for someone that's so wise do you don't know me I just thought what is I don't know what the point is of a wisdom tooth I don't know but then I'm not a dentist practitioner oh here's okay I know we're getting into politics now ever since I've had these little mouthy problems and it's been a little bit of a problem for about six months to be honest maybe longer it's been like a mild toothache and I've been trying to use enamel toothpaste and super sensitive toothpaste
to try and kind of dampen it down a bit it did not know it's gonna turn into full-on nuclear disaster but I you know I guess I wasn't being very bright perhaps I should have been a bit wiser and once it kicked in I oh but you're gonna keep talking about your bloody toothache no I'm not talking about the toothache really I'm just talking about dentistry generally yeah but it's not very relaxing subject is it not really as you like to say and we've been so angry as you used to
like to say I yeah that's it's a good point actually these are supposed to be relaxing recordings we could do relaxation exercise if you want I know it's not really what I normally do in these things but we can do a little should we do that or should I just continue talking rubbish I'll just talk rubbish hey I can't be bothered to can I maybe I can anyway I want to talk about okay I'll just briefly mention the dentist what's going on there's a huge shortage of NHS dentists and that
NHS stands for the the not here service it's a National Health Service it used to be it is still called National Health Service and yeah the dental is I don't really know what it is I think it's a government funding issue and the dentists the dentist practitioners or whatever realized they're not getting paid enough for the NHS or from the government so they're choosing to really some of them only or mainly see private patients where they can charge good money I mean it is good money to get 250 quid for
I don't know 15 minutes work and I'm sure they charge a lot more for other work you know like stuff like more complicated dental procedures they can charge thousands of pounds for which might take an hour or two so it's it's a huge amount of money to be made from dentistry they kind of gone the same way as vets like vets were never NHS I do think they should be but that would be an argument that would go on forever I think between people that love animals and people that aren't
so bothered and you know I think that Vinnie should be treated the same way as humans in fact better animals pets are treated better than humans on some level you know when it comes to certain aspects of medical care but anyway I yeah the dentists in the government of now they've decided or they've realized that there are because we've got about I don't know how many Ukrainian refugees we have in this country and out of that amount of people there's quite a few professional dentists so I think the government are
gonna offer them jobs and so whatever to try sort out the dentist waiting list for the NHS but now they're talking about letting people in because generally with doctors with nurses with dentists you have to prove that you're the same qualification as this country because every country has its own level of qualifications and skills and everything and I imagine there's other countries that are higher skilled than this country it's just a guess but I'm pretty sure that there'd be very few countries a high level of dentistry than Germany it's just
a guess and I just I imagine that they're just really good at everything they do because that's what they're known for isn't it and around the world would be in okay there's a few blips along the way but generally and is it weird that even it's like you can't say something nice about people without like it's racism that's that's what do they call that word not spoke scope stoke slope trope that's it it's a trope that's a trope you can't say someone's generous or good with money or very good education
or really intelligent or you can't say that a country is it's like well if it's a compliment it's well known it's like right from childhood it was a whole things that we wish we had there was a whole thing about the World War like people would be like an argument well if I hadn't gone to the war you'd all be speaking German if Germany had won the war with England everyone would be speaking German and then the counter-argument said yeah but at least would have a train service on time and
it's like it's not a great counter-argument but there was always that thing about here at Germany just better at so many other things and and as for the argument about everyone speaking German I don't think so I mean if you ever met an English person if anyone around the world listens to this thinks that if Germany had won the World War the last war that everyone in this country in UK Britain England would be speaking German you've you've not met us I mean you know I'm gonna speak generally but I'd
say the majority of British people English people whatever not hugely keen on speaking other languages I mean some people love it but generally try and force someone to do it we're not gonna you know and we I think it's a standard English thing to go to other countries and expect everybody to speak English and I'm not I'm not in that yeah I'm not in that that kind of that cage um I don't expect if I go abroad I don't expect other people to speak English I am hopeful you know I
hope that they can we know what hopeful means I mean I'm I'm not yeah the idea because I look at it from different angles so if you need to go to another country you'd be able to speak their language first of all shut up because this is ridiculous yeah if you're gonna live in someone's country of course you need to learn to speak the language if you're gonna live there if you're gonna it's like it's not a case of you should you kind of have to you need to in order
to to get by but the idea of going on a holiday for a week to Spain means that we should be able to speak Spanish or is it Spanish like no doesn't work like that we're going on holiday I'm not gonna learn a whole new language just to go on holiday for a week it's just silly I mean yeah you can have a little guidebook and little a few little words that you can learn you know generally you know around alcohol and food really I don't know any words in Spain
oh yes I do hola that's hello isn't it and I'll do another one for familial familiar familiar familiar familiar which is family we say familiar as in something similar they say familiar and it means family I think that was based on me watching a Netflix TV show which is all subtitles and even I watched multiple seasons many many hours of this show and it was about Pablo Escobar I think so I watched hours of that in subtitles the whole thing was pretty much near most of it was in in Mexican
and I still didn't pick up hardly any words I think I did at the time but then I let it go is I don't know it's it's it's not when you eat you know hold all that food in you forever do you have to you let it go I did just before I started this recording I let some food go from last night it's you know it's got let it let it you know no point you can't hold it around in a rucksack I'm not talking about you know I'm talking
about languages and stuff and I know people that were born in other countries and then when they go back and then they live here you know they live here now when they go back to their own country it takes them a while to get used to talking again in their original language I remember when I was young I used to be young once and was where was we no I think it was in Belgium and there's three three four my friends this is when I was about 18 and we went
to Belgium for the day on a Sunday I think it was or Saturday or Sunday and we're walking down the street and one of my friends shouted out hey English because he heard another person speaking in English he got so excited so so excited he ran towards a bloke started hugging him I made that a little bit up but he did get excited and because he'd met another English person he was maybe overawed by all the different like the other languages or whatever that were being spoken but my question was
this firstly he was with us and he was speaking English the whole time the whole journey there and the whole year whilst we were there and a whole journey back so at no point was he not speaking English or not been around people that spoke English secondly it was made such a big deal about meeting an English person another English person on his travels we'd been there for two hours it's not like we've been there for six months and he hadn't spoken English to anyone in six months and suddenly an
opportunity to speak English it wasn't just a dream I really do speak that language it's no we were there for an hour and a half so far and everyone he'd met spoke English that was weird it was fun it was that wasn't one of the first adult adventures I ever went on I love love Belgium that was three three or four times I've been 10 12 I don't know but it was the first foreign land I ever went to in my life until until the age of 18 so I've been
to Belgium I think twice with my parents maybe maybe more than twice and then I went twice as an adult I think and then I went to France whatever been let's do it in order Belgium France in 89 no the Spain first Spain in 89 then was 88 I think was 88 then France no no is 89 so into Spain in 89 I went to Belgium in you know what that might also been 89 88 89 88 88 87 I'm losing track anyway so in order Belgium France no Belgium Spain
France and then there was a big gap and I went to Ireland and then nothing for ages and ages and then I went to Bulgaria in 2002 I think Ireland was 94 2002 was Bulgaria 2003 I went to Amsterdam then that was it I think I went anywhere else I went to the Isle of Man in 2004 the Isle of Man so I don't know if that's classed as another country should be just men live in there did you know that it literally that's why it's called the Isle of Man
one man now there's more than one it used to be one man but now there's an albatross dropped a baby off about 600 years ago and now there's a there's a few who is someone at the front door who could that be it could be at the front door why don't people leave me alone so annoying and I mean what's the time 936 it's too early to be knocking on someone's door isn't it absolutely ridiculous so anyway I'm not answering it I think people I do wonder if you'll think I
just sit in here all day watching television which is kind of true I don't I do I'm doing stuff I know it's not the same as going out to work and it's I'm not necessarily contributing to my local society my local community necessarily but I'd like to think that maybe I am I am in my own little way contributing to the world or people around the world in some way and I don't know does that make sense so you know I'm doing this and when I'm not making a recording I'm
working on the website and trying to organize stuff and there is other other things I need to do I need to I want to get back to doing a bit more reading and perhaps hopefully making a few more recordings the hypnosis stuff you know but yeah I was talking about something until I was distracted oh yeah where have I been yeah the last place was Isle of Man yeah Isle of Man only women live there it's weird I'll tell you that only women there's no men at all I got family
on the Isle of Wight I've never been there but I've met one of my cousins that came over from the Isle of Wight and yeah she was nice took her to the comedy club that I was involved with this is like late 90s put about 99 I reckon 98 99 yeah what else I yeah that was it Thailand of course more recently but other than that I didn't I didn't go anywhere for blimey 20 years nearly 18 years I didn't didn't travel anywhere like outside of so really outside of the
country as far as I'm concerned the Isle of Man is if there's sea between thee and me then it's another country this is an ocean between it's a different country I know that was an island so this is where I live it's an island I mean technically it's a continent really how can it be a continent you could have more than one country and there is Ireland Scotland England so this is a continent isn't it now it's an island well what's the difference what is the difference baby so you know
Europe it's a continent Germany Russia Poland all these different countries in one place Africa it's a continent all these different countries in one one bit of land well we've got three different countries on one bit of land so how can that be not continent what sounds like it should be on countdown continent please I don't know so you know just because it's a tiny bit of land compared to the rest of the world I mean if it was in proportion on the map you won't be able to see it all
these little islands or did these countries the small ones would be almost a dot on the map compared to the other countries but they have to have it bigger otherwise you wouldn't know it was there I was quite surprised when you when you fly over this country it doesn't take long it's it's it's like a little just this it's green it's a very green country this from the sky it's very very countryside place it doesn't feel like that it does for me because I live in the countryside but it's not
it's not proper countryside it is I mean there's farms and fields and stuff like that but it's not you know there's a motorway nearby and the main road and stuff like that so there which was built through the countryside you know a hundred odd years ago or whatever well maybe the roads and that were built hundreds of years ago but I guess everything was countryside at one point apart from the beach so it doesn't seem like that though when you live here I don't think unless you are actually in the
countryside which I am technically not really you know I turn a corner and I'm in the country for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and but it's just countryside surrounded by roads and railway tracks and by the railway tracks go through the countryside don't they sometimes and this is strange strange really because even like every single town in this country is pretty much it's just a plot of land surrounded by countryside it's just a little opening in the countryside where tower blocks and buildings
and people live but if you look above it is it's just countryside with these bits of grey where people live and maybe a bit of red you know with the houses and stuff but then it's surrounded by country trees everywhere trees trees trees it's quite lovely really and I mean part of the reason for that would be because of the climate here it's a very it's quite a wet country not as wet as Ireland but kind of similar to that less but which is why Ireland is such a green and
luscious country with all the greenery and everything because of the rain they get the amount of is it luciditation what do they call it another word that word for rain which they tried to introduce a few years back on the weather forecast and they just gave up in the end why well there's gonna be a lot of lucidification today what why would you start using a word like that on a national broadcasting station instead of just using rain it's gonna rain we understand the word rain we used to the word
rain it's a very common word one of the first words we learn I would say lucidification it's not it's like not even an easy word to say I mean why not ease into it it's gonna be wet yes okay the clouds are gonna be crying today I don't know yeah still feels like Sunday still feels like a Sunday baby a Sunday I quite like the other men other than the fact that there was it was very sparse like there was no one there I mean there is people there but just
maybe I just picked a wrong week to go but there just wasn't many people around I imagine at times of the year gets very very busy with tourists and stuff but that particular day it wasn't and my auntie was at a time she was married to one of the main her her husband was one of the original Manx they call them over there and on a man so my uncle's got my auntie's husband was my uncle his dad was one of the the bigwigs on the Isle of Man like had
a mansion and like just he was one of the quite the big cheeses out there which I didn't really understand I mean I didn't meet him but like how could be made of cheese that's something a three-year-old would say I'm so embarrassed maybe how could it be a cheese I mean how does that work what if he needs to drive a car how could a piece of cheese drive a car what if he needs to do the washing up how does he he's got no legs it's cheese cheese don't have
arms what if he gets too close to the oven he'll melt oh dear you always tell when I'm on that thing to talk about is because I make a podcast that's that's what you know because it starts to go slightly weird slightly I said I said slightly weird he's been good he's been a good boy he's been cool I took it he woke me up which technically isn't I'm just about to say the opposite to what I just said she did wake me up about 2.30 this morning a little bit
too early you know a little bit too early and I think he was licking my face or something but I don't know anyway I woke up and he was just staring at me sitting up staring at me I could just see his face through the still dark but I could see him staring at me now he doesn't do that unless you want something and I opened the door because I have the door closed now in the bedroom because he hears things at the front door outside the front door in the
hallway outside he hears movement and it makes him bark and I played a radio as well or I played an audio book last night and that usually keeps him nice and calm it's a bit a little bit reactive to sounds at night and then I opened the door the front door to the bedroom but he didn't rush out I thought maybe he needs to get some food or wanted some drink or something and he didn't so if he wants to go for a walk which he did so I took him
out for a walk and oh yeah he did do a poo you need to go to the toilet he went to do the poo I need to clear that up I didn't do it last night he did it on the front lawn but it's okay neighbor didn't see me now it's on my front lawn but it's it's right near the bush and no one goes near it and so I have to pick it up today it's just I couldn't really see to pick it up last night and it wasn't anywhere
if it was on a on the pavement or on a neighbor's lawn or something I'd obviously have to pick it up but because it was on the front lawn here and it was nowhere no one's gonna walk in it no one's gonna go anywhere near it it's very much out the way almost underneath a bush underneath a bushel so I forgot all about it until just now so I was thinking I'm sure I remember him doing a poo but I don't remember putting the bag into a bin because that makes
noise and I try not to make any noise at that time in the morning plus it's pitch black outside so there's no lights I got my torch so I can see around but it's still didn't used to be like that 30 years ago lights would be on 24 hours a day not 24 hours a day but all night and now nope not only that I've moaned about this before but I shall moan again not only that they the council not only they turn the lights off at 1 in the morning
till about 6 in the morning or 5 in the morning they put new bulbs in or different bulbs changed it so the light is half as bright as what it was so I need a torch even when the streetlights run I need a torch I don't need a torch when I'm directly underneath but if you know before you could see on the grass and you can see around where if you was anywhere in in the street between the streetlights it was bright enough to be able to walk on grass and
see where you were stepping and to be able to pick up poo and stuff not anymore it's too dark now you know you once you get about three foot away from the light bulb then the light it's just dark and it's a shame because I don't think it's it's a good thing to be honest but there you go this is a personal opinion I mean I spoke to the council a couple of weeks ago two three weeks ago about how we need a light for downstairs hallway still not done it
it's just yeah so I go down and I actually put the torch on before I even as soon as I leave my front door I turn the torch on and I have to shine it downstairs so I can see where I'm going and I shine it on the stairs I shine it on the back part as well make sure there's no one lingering around there and then I shine it to the left to make sure isn't you know it's clear and I shine it both ways I have to just make
sure isn't you don't know who's out there it's like when it's dark I don't know what people are up to this is like you wouldn't even believe me if I told you what it was like around here you wouldn't even believe me you wouldn't believe it I don't believe it it's it's it's it's it's just apparently okay the council according to the council and one of the tenants that moved in she said it as well is people don't want to live here firstly it's got a reputation this council estate secondly
it's in the middle of nowhere and a lot of people don't want to move to nowhere so what what happens is a lot of people that end up living here I just moved here maybe they get out of prison and they move here or they're in a halfway house or they're in care or whatever and that they moved here because this they put the top of the list because no one else wants to move here and the way the council do it is is they offer you a place and you
turn it down I think they have sometimes they it's the only option you've got take it or you end up you stay where you are or they might give you two options so it's because I was just like curious how come so many vulnerable just use the word vulnerable and I'm in that category as well people living in one little area and it's the reason it's because oh that's weird that's some weird stuff I'm scraping my arm you need to wash all this dirt that's coming off yeah can't really say
too much about this but is this this it's kind of strange you wouldn't think it if you were here he's like looked around like that's a nice little area and it's it's not not so nice sometimes it's just weird very strange strange I'm looking forward to the weather getting a little bit drier because it's been super wet lately when I say super it's just been really wet there's a puddle it's almost like a pond in the park now in the grass like a pond seriously like a big area which is
just full of water which happens every year but this seems to be sticking around for quite a while and it's probably about a good 10 12 foot wide maybe maybe more maybe 15 foot it's a big old okay maybe not that big but it's it's a big area of water and the depth of it goes all the way up to his knees because he goes in there he likes it for some reason hates puddles but he likes that so it goes all the way up to his knees so whatever length
that is between his his feet and his knees that's how deep it goes when it's shallow it goes up to his ankles but I try and get him to go as deep as possible because I just want to see how deep it is I'd rather test him than me you know so basically if I was to get in there it'd go up to my ankles the water yeah he's at yeah probably looks like I've got another person knocking on the door yet again why would they do that though why would
they keep knocking on my door no point like continuous continuously knocking why I'm busy I think I do nothing busy I'm doing this this is something isn't it it's not nothing the good thing about it is I've got one of those camera phone things a camera ring things on my door so most people don't knock anymore they don't use the knocker which is good now some people still do because they just well you know they still do but a lot of people don't see I kept that nice some people still
do because they're just wonderful and that's just what they do and other people don't because they're wonderful and they don't yes so I'll take Vinnie I'm looking forward to the weather drying up a little bit so I can take Vinnie for longer walks he needs a good run around like a real proper proper run around that's what he needs he hasn't had that for a while and I let him off the lead the other day to have a run around and he ran in the opposite direction it looks like he
was gonna run out of the out of the park and I yelled at him and he came back so he had so much energy he just had to run it off and I had to put the lead back on him because like no no he can't do that I'm not only running off but he's got his pent-up energy that he wants to run so I'm hoping he's got one friend he's got more than one friend but he's got his best friend called Archie and they're like really close have been since
I've had him so for a year or whatever over a year whenever they see each other they get excited but sometimes they don't even get excited if they're off the lead they just run around there's no hello how you doing nothing just play they love playing with each other and they also cuddle they dance seriously on both on the hind legs they dance together kissing and cuddling and like they're really just like play fighting there's some real connection between the two of them I've not even with Logie he didn't have
that with Logie he loved Logie but it was and I think the thing is maybe I mean Logie was a lot bigger he couldn't do the same things with Logie if Logie went to like dance with him he'd crush him but there's only so much you can do it's only so much like normal physical activity you can do with someone that can sit on your back and you don't even notice they're there you know it's kind of like the size difference was huge huge and then I I do wonder though
because if if Phinney and Archie were together like for any period of time would they just get bored would they end up fighting would they argue I don't know but it's the same size practically so they're just an ideal match you know they're practically the same size I mean Phinney's probably a little bit bigger slightly but it's not a lot in it and it's so happy it's the happiest to see him when it when it's he loves other dogs but a lot of time he'd come up and he'll like even
nowadays he's been barking at dogs which is a bit unusual but he's very submissive like he'll lay on his back and show his tummy and stuff to other dogs never does that with Archie it's straight into playing there's none of that crap he doesn't you know he's not interested in in any of those rituals it's just right mate right Arch and that's it straight away playing and Archie's the same Archie will pull to get to Vinnie even if he's not seen him Archie sees him first and he does the same
tries to get to Vinnie and then Vinnie tries to get to Archie he can hear him or we can smell him when he's around the corner nowhere near us he seems to know he's around so it's kind of weird there was another dog he gets on with a few dogs but this is one that he he's I would say probably best friends with he'd love to spend more time with him I know that for a fact I haven't got to ask him that if he if he had the opportunity to
spend time with him like during the day or whatever he'd love it absolutely love it because they'd be right if they were in here they'd be running in and out the rooms causing chaos I know that they'd have a time of their lives I might offer that to the lady who's got got Archie just like she needs if he wants to have a little play date with him I can bring him back here she only lives around the corner so I can bring him around here for a couple of hours
or Vinnie can go around there play in their garden if he wants if she wants you know I just want him to be happy that's basically what I want for Vinnie I want him to be happy I want him to get some kind of stimulation that he's never really gonna get from me I can't run around the field with him maybe you know 30 40 years ago but I was never gonna be able to run around at his speed and to do that you know that's that's more like kids he
needs kids for that or another dog I'm not saying that kids are like dogs but just saying like someone that has the energy to run around and you know I have to plan my walk to the bedroom you know to get into bed I plan that you know it goes conserve your energy in older life and I don't remember brushing my teeth today do I yeah I must have done hmm so I was just thinking to myself but anyway that's it really I mean hopefully I won't have too much activity
knocking on my door I don't want people knocking on my door really it's not horrible just because I'm making recordings I need to be I mean luckily I've got the Vinnie's in the bedroom and he was on he was asleep on the bed so I went in there and I closed the door he was he did wake up when I was doing it but he didn't cause a fuss so he's just gone back to sleep and so the bedroom doors closed living room doors closed the windows are closed so that
I can just have a little bit of time where there's no barking or any kind of noise necessarily and luckily Vinnie didn't hear the front door because if he'd have heard anyone out there he'd have gone absolutely chaotic and we would have heard that oh yes so I'm gonna go this is another very boring recording and then my voice is getting very croaky and now it's nice and smooth again so I'm gonna go thank you for listening and what's the website address called we let me bore you dot-com blindly let
me bore you dot-com so that's the the website for the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast it's more for people that this I mean who knows this might be the only podcast you listen to or you might listen to this predominantly you know specifically for a reason it might it might just be easier just to go to a website also you can download each individual recording for free as well so that's all available which kind of in some ways makes the other website a little bit defunct but it doesn't
because that other website holds more recordings the Jason Newland calm and but I'll figure that out anyway on here at some point probably not today but at some point because this stuff just lasts forever it takes it's gonna take years years and years and years the website is never gonna be completed as long as I'm still making new recordings it's never gonna be repeated even I've got let me have a look let me show you on my SoundCloud podcast there is SoundCloud did it did it did the SoundCloud okay so
Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast on there just over 2,000 downloads yesterday 706 so far today it's only 10 o'clock it's not bad how many different recordings are there 1,356 and so basically the first thousand are just without music and then after that it's another three different recordings for each episode with music five hours and ten hours pretty much if I come out of there look my insights since I've had the podcast since October to start the podcast in October and what's that so October November December January February it's
a four months 387 and a half thousand plays that's all right he's talking about the bloody stats again I know I know one no oh I know so let's have a look at the relaxed sleep and pain relief hypnosis podcast for okay this is the recordings that include recordings with with background music as well they're not all on here yet but most I guess a lot hell of a lot of them are there's still ones that aren't on here and 4,438 tracks 4,438 recordings including the different versions of music that's
quite a lot insights okay what have we got so far today 3,147 plays on that podcast yesterday was 9,501 plays so 42 and a half thousand the last seven days all time let's go 12 months last 12 months this is probably October October again so between October now 855,000 plays so yeah what's the most popular one the most popular plays I've had on there is 10 hours it's 1,000 and number 1,062 it's boxing time Let Me Bore You To Sleep 23rd of December last year 10 hours long 7,870 plays blimey
that weird that's in countries United States 430,000 plays United Kingdom 264,000 Australia 74.3 thousand Canada 17.4 thousand South Africa 13.6 thousand Sweden 11.6 thousand United Arab Emirates 10,000 plays Philippines 9,747 Dominican Republic 8,678 Ireland 3,105 Belgium 2,946 France 1,922 Puerto Rico 1,517 and then it goes a little bit lower Brazil 882 Portugal 688 and it goes lower and lower all the way down to Wow Romania 14 so 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 24 26 28
30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 50 countries 50 different countries listen to me on that podcast it's not bad is it apparently in America Montgomery is that I don't know is that a state it's a it's not precise so you can in in you can have like London and it could be within like 200 miles or whatever you know it's not always particularly precise locations I don't think otherwise according to this made stone in Kent I've had nearly 10,000 plays like I mean it's physically impossible
if it was one person I mean you know if there's like hundreds of people in Kent or that area but one person couldn't it's just even if you you couldn't how could you watch something 10,000 times or even pressing a play button 10 fast I mean this you your finger would fall off so I'm not quite sure how it works I do a whatever podcast so look it's okay let's go into this so this one is called hypnosis is sleeping deeply with music so there's 1539 tracks on there so this
is not quite as updated as the other one to be honest although today I've got 3,306 plays and all time 737,152 plays that's since October but here's a weird one okay it's not weird because it's similar thing the top track there's two there's three top ones but I didn't mention the other ones because it was such a big difference 10 hours 162 let me put you sleep it's boxing time 23rd of December so for some reason that was popular on both the podcasts second is number two help with addiction 1st
of February 2024 friends that's the title 10 hours long I don't know why but I've had 7123 plays of that one 7,000 I'm like blimey that's just strange and I don't know if it allows me does it allow me it does blimey it allows me to see the plays I've had 2023 okay right so I need to change that a little bit last 30 days okay so again that gives me an idea even it only goes up to the 15th for some reason it won't go it won't go closer but
I'm still getting like 300 300 or whatever 288 300 plays of that recording the number two friends help with addiction from the 1st of February 10 hours long so and there's been loads of recordings after that so I don't know why people are still listening to it I'm not sure I'm not sure but I'm grateful anyway I'm pleased anyone listens to my stuff I don't know why anyone would want to I am grateful because without this without you without all this stuff I wouldn't have anything you know so yeah oh
I just I've been watching a TV show that I don't know if you've you know I watched oh what did I watch Fargo that's it Fargo and so I watched Fargo the latest series of Fargo which is really good and now I'm watching I watched The Mist I watched The Mist which was on I think that was on Netflix it wasn't the movie it was a TV show and from 2017 and again it's really good I'm guessing they didn't make it didn't make another season just one season 2017 and that
was it the season aired for one 10 episode season on spark spark spike from June 22nd to August 24th 2017 spike later cancelled the series on September 27th the same year so I don't know why I mean it was I liked it but what I've been watching now is start watching the OA it's American mystery drama science fiction it's on Netflix and I don't know how many is it just one season episodes part one no it's two parts first part was 2016 second part was 2019 I'm only on to the
second or third chapter or episode so there's a few to go it's very strange it's very very strange so I watch some of that today you mean you do spend all day watching television no but I do like to watch a bit of but I don't watch much normal TV I watch I'm more into the streaming you know I like to I like to watch Netflix or I mean Amazon they've got adverts now bless them unless you pay an extra two pound ninety nine or whatever it's kind of ironic really
it's like yeah I won't say what I want to say but yeah it's yeah some people don't mind paying companies money for streaming I don't mind paying that money a monthly don't mind paying multi-billionaires giving money to them so I'm one of them I guess I mean with Amazon I don't have Amazon for the TV I have it because I get deliveries from them I get food deliveries and important stuff delivered so you know for the for the cost of having Amazon and the savings I make from postage and packing
it's just a no-brainer really and the TV comes with it so I just watch there's a few shows I watch on Amazon there's not many and it does mix it's it's no way of knowing what good what's good and what's not it's really without doing research because they they stick everything together it's I suppose it's probably a little bit like some of these really like a really cheap supermarket or like the pound shop so you have stuff that is got packaging on that you've never seen before with letters and writing
you never seen before next to a branded name and like oh what's what what's going on and it really is just you're taking your chance and that's kind of like what it was like with the pound shop or pound land or whatever you know is I've not been in any of those places for years but it was always a gamble little bit of a gamble like well you can't really complain because it cost a pound you know if I pay a pound for something I kind of be disappointed if when
I got home and the thing did work it'd be like no what's happened you know you expect things not to work very well or not necessarily taste very nice if all you paid is a pound because it's literally it's practically nothing unless of course you haven't got a pound I mean I remember I went to the bank years years ago and I was working full time this might be when I was a counselor and I was waiting for money to go through and I had 16 pence in the bank I
remember walking down the street just laughing laughing because it was just so ridiculous didn't he even have enough to buy some milk and you know you'd get milk for about 20 pence back in the 80s but 12 years ago whatever it was that I was doing this I was I was walking out of that bank with well I couldn't I didn't have 16 pence in my pocket because I don't give you the 16 pence because then I'd have to close the bank account I don't want to do that plus we
need a bank account I've got a question Jason what's that why are you still talking you thought you said you'd run out of things to talk about an hour ago and you're still talking okay fair enough I'm going I just want to keep talking and see how many more times my neighbor knocks on my door while I'm doing this stop knocking when I'm making a recording man and I'll have to tell people to go have to phone me before they knock because it's disturbing my recordings which it will it if
he starts barking that messes things up I need this is what I need to be doing in it you know I mean in it hey in it you get me so we're down so I need to have some breakfast I might take the vinster out for a little walk first but you heard that and then have a cup of tea chill out for a little bit and then I will need to do a few bits I need to go and get some milk I've got food delivery coming tomorrow so I
just need to get through today which I've got a few bits in the freezer so that should be fine but I do need some milk and then tomorrow I don't know when the food delivery is going to be arriving I'm still waiting to hear from the company but it's frozen meals and they should be getting here I'll put in the freezer and I'll be able to start eating some cooked meals again so they come in tomorrow sometime and have to I might have to clean out the freezer as well just
to make room I don't know I'm not sure yeah I'm not sure but it'll be fine whatever it will be a very fine situation and for the rest of the day I started watching open hymen yes last night so I will probably watch the rest of that maybe today or tomorrow three hours long man three hours long that's a long that's just a long time I don't think there is anything no I do mean anything that I would want to spend three hours doing three hours no there's anything I'd want
to spend that much time doing other than sleeping but that's just I'm asleep so I'm not enjoying that or appreciating it or even aware but being awake doing something for three hours no there's nothing I'd want to do for that long by the way I'm I'm single so if there's any ladies out there interested just let me know okay hmm and if you're lucky if you want to go out for a date I might have a wash yeah I might have a wash first so I don't so I don't stink
out the restaurant yeah I might even wear clothes so I'm gonna go thank you very much take care yourselves remember remember remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself lots of love bye
