Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Hello I'm not sure if I need my entire body in this picture but anyway welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland.

Over there is Vinnie Andre Newland my little sidekick. Aren't you? Yeah yes you are and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. So this is going to be I wasn't going to do this this week but this is going to be Q&A Friday.

Get off the table off the table. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? So it's gone from him not wanting anything to do with the podcast to wanting to be on the podcast all the time. Like instantly as soon as I move this this chair here he's become part of it which I thought he might a little bit want to come up but I didn't know he'd just be wanting my attention like this.

This is kind of yeah anyway so just let you know I have for those listening on the podcast I have a YouTube channel Jason Newland if you search me on there and also for those watching on the YouTube the YouTube I have a podcast just search for me just search for Let Me Bore You To Sleep on all of the main podcasts hosts and you'll find me.

I also do hypnosis recordings as well as well as hypnosis videos blimey and I also do a vlog Jason Chats also so yeah Vinnie your sausage roll is showing stop it move move move put your tail down your sausage stop it your pencil sharpener so what I decided to do is because I've not asked anybody any questions what I'm gonna do is gonna I'm gonna do questions take questions from Vinnie so that's what I'm gonna do today on this Q&A Friday so the first question he's asked me I've asked him

to ask me these questions the first one is why do you keep mentioning Andre and and it's like a double one like why do you keep mentioning Andre and why do you keep calling me Andre I sometimes accidentally call him Andre so my answer to that Vinnie if you're listening he's actually just there you can't see him he's staring over there right now isn't it I think because I think about Andre still just because he's not here he's there if you can see that little brown box behind me on over

there that's his urn that's Andre's urn and I think about him every day I do it might be strange might know why would you think about a ferret some people would like argue possibly and but I do I think about him every day and sometimes because I've got all these videos that I've got of him generally I think are now on YouTube so I watch some of those videos sometimes and because I talk about him on this podcast occasionally I'll call Vinnie Andre by accident I don't mean to and he

wants to know who Andre was so I've shown him a picture because I've got a picture up there which was painted for me yay thank you um I can't get to it because it means moving and if you look at me you can see I clearly don't like to move but what I might try and do is get that picture somewhere like that have it so you can see it maybe next time I'll get it down so why do why do I who was Andre Andre Vinnie you listening Andre was

your brother your younger brother and unfortunately he passed away before you were even born yes he did before you was even born and I sometimes think he's the reincarnation because he's so naughty he's got so much of the mannerisms is similar to to the mannerisms that Andre had but so Vinnie Andre was your little brother I um I had him from a baby pretty much until he was six and a half years old yeah and that's it really I've I've shown him I'll show you videos of him so you can

see so anyone that's watching that doesn't know who Andre was he was there's quite a few videos of him on YouTube blimey there's a lot of banging going on downstairs like really loud banging that's weird not good banging not like well you know it's worrying banging what the heck that was anyway so I yeah if you want to find out about Andre maybe check out the videos I mean not everybody listening to this podcast either would know who Andre was a lot of people would do because I've talked about him

a lot and some people used to listen when I had Andre so I was constantly talking about him just the same way as I'm talking about Vinnie these days so it's just one of those things really it's uh I guess he wants to know who he is and why do I why I'm always going on about him he was my little son Vinnie he was my first son and you're my second son yeah you're my you're my you're my youngest now yeah I don't know how they would have got on

really because even though he's got that instinct to chase small animals in all fairness he has he's got that there at the same time Andre was more aggressive than he is he would have I think Andre would have just um gone at him and Vinnie would have been scared after that like he was with cats he won't ever mess with a cat now because he got he got into a fight with a cat and the cat beat him up didn't really beat him up but he he scared Vinnie the cat

I don't know what he did but he scared him and he will never ever approach another cat ever because he literally if a cat is lying on the pavement he will walk very slowly around the cat now in the past he always used to chase any case or weird isn't it you're gonna have your num nums Vin gonna have your dinner your dinner's over there he's just wandering around I think he's a little bit perplexed because I've changed the changed stuff around and he doesn't really know I was now laying

on my feet maybe he won't spend a lot of time up there maybe he will just go back to being on floor again I don't know I mean there's a chance that it might be quite warm in here because I've got four lights on I don't know how bright it is if it's bright enough for the video but I've got four lights I've closed the curtains purposely even though it's like half four or quarter five I wanted the sunlight out of here just so I could see what it's like like

at night in there you know if it's going to be bright enough to make videos but it seems okay I can't stop looking in the light because it's making my eyes go weird so yeah uh what other questions did he have oh yeah um why why he wants to know why he's not allowed to eat chocolate how come he's not allowed to eat chocolate but I am well we I don't eat chocolate anymore so that question is a bit invalid but as for your answer Villy if you're listening is I

don't know what he's doing he's trying to he's looking for something always up to something he's looking to grab something off the top I don't know what it is he's looking for so yeah I tried to explain to him that you can't eat chocolate because it's poisonous and he said well so it's good for you then is it it's healthy for you is it I said no he said is it good for you is it is it like nutritional has nutritional value does it he's a little bit arid you know

a little bit annoying sometimes and I said Vinnie don't you know we're recording you're part of the recording now but not that much of the recording that I want you to be barking because if you bark you'll have to go in the bedroom so there and he was saying oh so it's healthy is it it's healthy for you but it's bad for me is that what you're saying and he and I said well I'm not saying it's healthy for humans but it's not poisonous in the same way he said okay

let me ask you in a different way is sugar classed as a vitamin I said no sugar is not classed as a vitamin well is sugar is it something that a doctor would prescribe to you so to make you feel better I said no it probably isn't something like that even no he said so would you potentially agree that sugar isn't healthy for you I said okay maybe it's not healthy for you but it's not poisonous in the same way as it might be for a dog and he picked me

up straight away might be might be it's a little bit different from is it definitely is might be different different different wording it has a different outcome really don't you think okay well I'm not going to risk it I've heard that it's not good for dogs and I'm not going to risk it I'm not going to give you chocolate because I want to keep you around I want you to be well he said okay okay and he didn't say anything after that and this is a couple of days ago so

I'm sitting here with his mum who's a neighbor who I guess where I got him from when he was 10 months old he loves her so much she's sitting here we're just chatting I say she's sitting there I was sitting over there because we didn't have this no that's I might have had no no I did have this chair here because it was Wednesday it's now Friday so I'm looking over there and she's looking at she might not been looking at me she might be looking at the telly but we

were in the same room we were talking together and she said she was just just I don't know what we were talking about scarecrows or something like that and she suddenly said what's that he's got I said I don't know she said it's chocolate I said it's not chocolate how can it be chocolate first of all I haven't had any chocolate for months secondly I didn't I wasn't aggressive firstly at first I haven't had any chocolate and I can't remember the last time I've even bought any chocolate but I thought

well let's let's just she said it's chocolate I said no I went over and it was chocolate I don't know where it came from it was a little bounty bar but he had the wrapper so I'm hoping it wasn't the entire bar it might just been a wrapper that maybe got underneath the settee like years ago or something at Christmas I struggled to get it really and he hasn't been ill he wasn't ill nothing like that so it might have he only had it for like probably half a minute because

she was watching him anyway because we watch him when he's here we kind of watch to see what he does and it's you know he loves having both of us here at the same time don't you but I couldn't believe it a chocolate wrapper but one of those it wasn't like a big bar you know the little um I know the tubs I don't know if you get them in your country I'm going on that tubs but they're just little tubs of um quality street or celebrations stuff like that that

usually quite popular at Christmas time and things like that so things like that I don't know I'm trying to think of other festivals like Christmas maybe Easter so it's one of them a tiny little thing but it was an unwrapped wrapper now he's not the most dexterous with his fingers to unwrap something and if he'd had a chocolate if it was a whole chocolate we would have seen him trying to rip off the thing so I'd have seen that and because I've been tidying up on the Wednesday I mean it

might simply have been it fell off maybe it was on the table which was covered in junk and it fell off the table when I was tidying up or it might have been behind the bookcase I mean you know I don't I don't leave chocolate on the floor I don't leave it it really I don't eat chocolate anymore but when I did eat chocolate I didn't leave it on the floor um for Andre I did because he liked chocolate occasionally I mean it'd have a I remember once oh this is

funny I had a friend round I was sitting over there I think that's where my desk was over there he was sitting over here in the chair the black chair that I don't have anymore that we used to be facing over there and the tv was on the wall or on the yeah I think it was on the wall I think anyway he I got a Twix only little little Twix's in a packet so I think I had bought a packet of six Twix's and I want one now but they're

only tiny small but there was like they're all individually wrapped I gave him one and I had one for me and he put his just on the on the seat so we're chatting and I go I opened mine I started eating it I said aren't you gonna eat your Twix and he said oh yeah he couldn't find it could not find it and so I think I might gave him another one or I just said no you find it you eat that one eat the one I gave you you're not

having another one you had your chance and if you don't eat what I give you if you can't even keep hold of a Twix a little Twix then you don't deserve another one that's what I said I didn't could not find it it turned up about six months later and it was I think it was hidden in his cage or something it was like hidden underneath his clothes it was like hidden somewhere where he nested because he had a few little nests around where he'd go to sleep and stuff and

he used to hoard he used to hoard stuff as well I found it wasn't wasn't opened it was moldy I think but it wasn't so it might have been a year might be 10 years later wasn't 10 years later so yeah that was that was weird so what's your third question Vinnie why don't I wear socks we already talked about that in he's asking me a question that I already talked about on our walk in the park on my Jason Chatz video I'll mention it anyway I've already I've talked about

this before and the reason I basically he was trying to bite my my shoes again and because I got no socks on he gets straight through to the skin sometimes he doesn't mean to I hope but if I put a pillow on there that might raise him up and you'll be able to see him yeah all little bits little bits and Bob don't make it make it more enjoyable for people watching if he's here I feel like an evil one of those evil villains stroking his pussy instead but I haven't

got any pussy to stroke I've got a little dog instead yeah yeah wow he's happy he's it's weird considering he doesn't seem to even like me he wants to be near me strange so yeah so basically he asks why do I not wear socks well I haven't worn socks since about I'm not sure it was January maybe maybe it was December I'm not sure but I had a dream no it's not a dream and in the dream I saw an elephant on a mountain that said don't wear socks wasn't that

kind of dream it was a something was chasing me and I was running and then it dawned on me that if actually if I just turn around and kick this thing the force of it running towards me and me suddenly stopping and kicking would be like overwhelming for that thing it would just it wouldn't it would do the trick so that's what I did I kicked and I kicked the hardest I've probably ever kicked in my life but unfortunately I didn't just kick in my dream I kicked in real life

as well and I woke up because I just kicked the wall and knocked my nail took took half my nail off and wow so I broke my toe but it was really I mean I know obviously a broken toe is going to be it's either broke or fractured but it was definitely damaged proper damaged and there was a dent in the wall from my finger like my toe now it was like it had taken some of the probably the paint rather than the plaster out but hurt so much and I

couldn't put a sock on I tried to put socks on and I just couldn't do it too painful so for I don't know two months or whatever it took for it to heal I think it took about more than two months until it was like proper fine I didn't wear any socks and now I just got used to it and this is during the winter just got used to not wearing socks and once the summer came and you know spring and summer I just like oh don't need socks anymore it's

weird isn't it so that's why I don't wear socks I never planned to not wear socks it wasn't my dream you know I wasn't um wasn't on my to-do list wasn't on my bucket list to not wear socks it just just happened it just came about a bit like diarrhea no it's not like diarrhea but you know it just happened that's weird I'm seeing the world very differently from this seat I'm looking at the room and it looks very different from because I've never sat here before apart from when I

have sat here I mean which would have been like a few hours ago but I mean generally I've never sat I sat in this corner but facing that way in my big black chair that I had the big black squeaky chair I've never sat facing this way towards the door towards the tv although there's no point having the tv on sitting in this chair because it's not comfortable enough to sit and relax for watching tv it's good for it's good for making podcasts good for videos it's good for meditating but

it's not a because it does keep my back relatively flat or straight which is quite good but it's not necessarily it's not like oh kind of yeah you know it's not like the most relaxing chair it's comfortable-ish but I wouldn't want to be sitting in it for hours hours and hours but it'd be perfect for a counseling a counseling room that'd be fine because you know if in a counseling room you want the client to feel comfortable but not too comfortable they're not come for a nap they've come for apart

from if they came to see me then they'd probably fall asleep but you generally you want to be alert a degree of alertness in a counseling room so you know because you're a person talking about their life talking about how they're feeling and for me this chair is like in between sitting down and standing up it's not sitting down would be that chair on the sofa where I kind of recline that's sitting down lying down is in bed standing up is that was when I stand up but halfway I would

say is in this chair because it's it almost feels like I'm standing up but without I'm standing up and sitting down at the same time so my back is the same kind of thing as when I was like level or angle as I would be if I was standing up it made so much sense to me microseconds before it came out of my mouth oh well so yeah um I'm not sure what I was talking about then so uh what's the next question I'm trying to think what's the next question

you had Vin hey oh he wanted to know why I was tidying up on Wednesday well actually Monday Tuesday and Wednesday why was I tight why was I tidying up and and I explained to him it's because I had a flat inspection look at I caught the sun and I look see my arms compared to the muscle definitely yeah caught the sun you can see it there as well look see that's the bit that never sees the sun and that's the bit that does just that bit and my face that's

always pink and red and blindly crazy so uh uh uh uh why was I it's like why are you why are you tidying up I said well it's because I got a flat inspection which I've talked about and yet the the last Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast and he said well so because he doesn't he doesn't really know what a flat inspection is and I said like did you do you know what I mean when I say flat inspection he looked at me and said do you do you

know I tell you he's getting too big for his boots he is and I said yeah I do know what it is he said what is it then I said well it's an inspection of the flat he said no no you just it's you just said the words back to me what does it actually mean what's the what's the relevance of it what's the point of it what uh what is on the agenda of the person specifically coming around well um I don't know I've got a list of things that

they're going to be looking for they want to see my ID so I guess they're making sure that I'm not subletting and that's kind of it uh see if I've got a pet and if the pet's a good pet if he's a good boy or not he said what I said well if they check so we've got any dogs to see if they're if they're good he said see because he was asking me this before they came if they're good I said well if they bark a lot he said so

dogs bark that's what dogs are supposed to do we're supposed to bark it's that job I said well you know there's this uh there's a point where the barking can become problematic maybe for the other tenants and if you were to disturb the other tenants and they complained you could well they could cause problems for us me and you he said uh I said yeah and I tell you it's really weird Wednesday morning when the bloke knocked on the door about half 12 the the flat inspector on Wednesday he barked

like he normally does always does that but he'd already been in the building and knocked and visited two of the other flats or at least two maybe three downstairs before knocking on mine and Vinnie did not make a sound so that he was knocking on their doors he came in they would have been walking around he'd have heard downstairs I can't hear it but he would have heard them talking didn't make a sound normally he'd be barking every time anyone comes into the building Wednesday nothing he barked when there was

a knock on the door which is what he's supposed to do you know it's natural for him this is his home this is his territory he's defending it he's letting whoever it is know that he's the boss even though I'm the boss don't stop giggling Vinnie and he's also excited he gets excited to see people I don't know if he would oh I have to watch him because he's not he's now put on his oh you can't see him he's laying on his side just on the um the armrest of

the settee just here but he's oh I wish there was a way he's seeing him it looks so cute but then he's saying oh what what was the point of having the inspection the flat inspection and I said well that's it just you know just to check that everything's all right he said so why are you so worried then I said who said I'm worried he said well you spent three days tidying up moving things around tidying cleaning the bathroom trying to clean the kitchen hoovering up dusting moving stuff moving

furniture around rearranging the living room trying to tidy up the bedroom putting clothes away washing dirty clothes all that stuff I said plus you've really been taking notice of me it's almost like you're spying on me and he said I don't need to spy we live together you know I don't exactly have to set up some kind of hidden camera when I actually can just walk into the room and look at you I said okay fair enough you do follow you around most of the time don't I said yeah yeah

sometimes and he said well why are you so worried I said well I wasn't so much worried which is a lie because I was I don't know why it's something about having someone come someone I don't know coming into my home you know it's not it's not nice really I have to do it because it's it's this is something has to be done but I can't say I enjoy it I can't say that it makes me feel maybe feel all fuzzy and warm inside the idea of it but you know

and then he said well why are you what do you mean warm and fuzzy what's that about I said what I mean is I wasn't necessarily looking forward to the person coming but it has to be done it's not a lot I can do and he said okay well I don't understand why you're so concerned what why can't you just let them come in and see how you live and then we both laughed because you know I'm a bit messy sometimes a bit messy I have a rule in life if

it falls on the floor it stays on the floor that's that's one of those things and I'm trying to change that rule but it's a law I've had for well since I moved in here if it falls on the floor it stays on the floor I mean even my friend Luke I'm very he's trying to I can't remember what it was I think something spilt on the floor and he was trying to pick it up I said no and he went got the vacuum cleaner I said turn it off don't

he said no I can't leave it there I have to pick I have to tidy it up and we were arguing I said no if it falls on the floor it stays on the floor and he didn't like it because he wanted to tidy and I just had a rule that was a rule and I just couldn't move on from it it was I was very blinkered with that particular rule very very uh one-minded very limited you could say so I'm trying to think what other questions he had oh he's

rude when am I going to start reading my books well Vinnie I have read books I've read quite a few of the books that are behind me or to the side of me I have I haven't read all of them admittedly but I have read some and a lot of them some of them are just there for reference you know so if I'm going to do a a new hypnosis recording on for example if I just grab this one out this one is hypnosis hypnosis rewire your brain with hypnotherapy William

Robertson how to remember past lives through guided meditation sessions past life regression deep sleep hypnosis and hypnotherapy tested techniques I've not read this now I'm not really into past life stuff because it doesn't really fit in with what I do but what I've noticed is every book not every book but most books I've read on hypnosis I either I learn something new or I think three things I learn something new I relearn something that I've already learned I get reminded of it by four things so I learn something new I

get reminded of something that I've already learned and I read a contradiction something that contradicts where we contradicts itself or it disagrees with something that I've already read previously in a different book so then it gets me thinking or which is which is true meaning me you know for example some people say what there's some people argue between permissive and authoritarian hypnosis some people argue that things like stage hypnosis is bad for hypnosis a normal therapy therapeutic hypnosis like hypnotherapy some people argue you know they go either side there's people

on both both fences arguing and then try to have another example yes things like past life regression and some would argue that's got nothing to do with hypnosis and it should stay well away from hypnosis because hypnosis is there for therapy to help people in a therapeutic way and it's not um and some would argue that you know past life regression and stuff like that is I think the correct term is woo woo but then others on the other side well actually I do past life regressions and it helps people

um or other stuff like talking to dead people uh you know things like that like using hypnosis for stuff like that so I've got lots of books here and there's a lot of banging downstairs I've got these let me just show you this blimey I've got to be careful I don't knock stuff off so these are some small books but they're also like look Sean Sean Hughes the essential hypnosis book now you don't know when you buy these on amazon or when I bought them on amazon there's no I didn't

realize it's 30 39 pages so I've not read it and it wouldn't take more than probably half an hour to read the thing but and it's not just so it's big old writing as well so if you put that at normal size ink or font it probably about 10 pages you know long so it's a little bit of a I don't know not quite sure what the right word is but there might be something useful in there another book hypnosis powerful and fast working hypnosis techniques to hypnotize anyone now by

L Jordan now again this is the same kind of book doesn't have the price on the back I don't know how much it cost I bought this a few years back what does this say there's a free gift inside the that it wasn't oh wait a minute no no there's a bookmark is that a free gift is that have you signed up for your free Jonathan Chase book Jonathan Chase I like Jonathan Chase he passed away recently so that again this could be interesting this one but it's a it's a

short book again it's only like 60 pages 65 pages hypnosis quick start book why would I have a book and this is this is even makes you realize even more that it's not necessarily possibly potentially just potentially and this is allegedly the the author of this book might not be an authentic they might not be an authentic hypnotist he's like why would you know and they might be but you know based on the name max trance now I don't know who max trance is but I'm guessing it's not a real

person it's a person but so I could put together a book like this very easily I mean I'm not not financially but you know because it's cost a bit of money to do it but it'd be very easy to put like a quick guide to hypnosis I could do that off the top of my head but there's so many of them is it is there any point hypnosis beginner's guide there's another one so Richard Cooper so I haven't read all these I've I think I've read some of them but even

though like this a hypnosis complete hypnosis for beginners crash course learn how to access your hidden magical powers in 30 minutes or less what they mean is it's another way of saying read this book in 30 minutes or less because they've not even wow they've not even put numbers for the pages because it's that few look that few pages what is it one two three four five six seven eight nine ten so 20 pages wow and there's another one your amazing itty-bitty intuitive hypnosis book 15 simple steps are seen inside

the unconscious mind I mean at least it says it's an itty-bitty I mean no one's going to buy this and get it and think wait a minute I thought it's going to be huge I built up I built a big cabinet just to hold it I thought it's going to have like 10,000 pages oh no because this is itty-bitty you know it's going to be small but the other books the way they present them on Amazon you'd think they're going to be big and then I realized look at the number

of pages because it does tell you on the Amazon website so hypnosis concepts Tim Brunson now Tim Brunson gets around he's got quite a few books and even though it's a similar kind of situation 60 pages this is good his books are good what is this health crown house publishing health well-being a therapy catalog 2021 this must have come through with the books why am I even showing you this so this is one this is more of a book now because this has got a few more pages the hypnotic connection

how to influence and persuade anyone and Dan Candel I've heard of him so it's 117 pages although blindly four of them are all bent back that's not good I don't like books when they're that might just be me having stored them for incorrectly so a book I think for a book to be a book it needs to be at least 100 pages I don't expect things to be like 4000 pages or anything because I don't really want to read anything that big unless it's just a reference because I've got I'll

show you my biggest reference book I've got this is number one power of your subconscious mind Joseph Murphy but this is another one which is 132 pages another tiny one transform snacks for the soul by Easton Hamilton I mean I'm surprised there's not a book by cell hypnosis mastering conversational hypnosis that's another one by Noah J Michael and just choose a name Noah no Noah or J unless J Michael is a surname but there's a there's a line between or apostrophe or everything Nora and J Noah J double barreled first

name come on stop it unless Michael is the first name and that's what they've done thinking that that's a good way to put your name put your surname first no unless of course it is I don't care user agreement what's this using thought disruption patterns or let's read this no conversation will ever go smoothly as you want it to go at some point you will find someone who has disengaged from what you are saying and you can see that they have done so no you know how to avoid that don't

look don't look if you don't look you can't see if you start looking around if they start looking around glance at their watch or begin to fidget you're in danger of losing them and you need to do something to get the conversation back on stable ground why if someone's not interested in what you're saying if like you know a conversation a human interaction then just need to go a separate way isn't it what's the point why would you want someone to stick around if they're not interested unless you're trying to

sell them something you know it's just you've got a sales job or whatever um or I don't think I think of any other reason I mean really for me I used to notice that and I didn't I think I noticed it after I started studying hypnosis because I didn't realize that I was that the two things that made me realize that I was super boring thought I had the ability to switch people off like their brains like just to um is my very first counseling session as a as a client

where my counselor fell asleep I've talked about that in the past and there's a lot of noise Vinnie's being very good he hasn't he's not reacting to any of the sounds from downstairs which is nice he he went down there I don't know if I mentioned this he went down there on Tuesday yeah Monday or Tuesday my neighbor phoned up said do you want to bring him down I said yeah okay went down there and he was down there for about an hour with her and I just stayed up here

and on my own just had a little break I went and collected him he got while he was down there he got so excited he weed all over her all over her bed I really got excited super excited he couldn't control his bladder bless him she wasn't angry or nothing I said well if you you know just sorry a lot of shouting I don't know what that is anyway um what was it dude oh yes he weed everywhere that was so funny but yeah so my counselor the counselor fell asleep

whilst I was talking to her I mean literally for it's only for a few minutes but it's long enough and the other one was I remember I was in a nightclub the comedy club actually and the manager there I was talking to him and his eyes glazed over and he's like just staring but he wasn't looking at me his eyes were gone his eyes glazed over he was bored so bored of what I was saying now I wasn't trying to be boring either of those times by the way and so

yeah I wasn't particularly pleased but the second time I think I'd already studied a bit of hypnosis at that point so I was starting to realize what it was and I was naturally doing some of the I guess some of the hypnotic language or tone of voice or whatever just naturally doing that and then sometimes I used to play with it excuse me I did so during the disco especially like quiet moments if someone came up to me some and they'd be the other side of the DJ booth and I'd

talk to them and I'd start just talking and their eyes would glaze over again because they didn't and they didn't have anywhere to go with what I was saying because it was making sense but it wasn't making sense it was particularly it wasn't interesting and there was no ending to the sentence because I just kept on kept going and therefore because and just get and and just get on and on and it was amazing and it's mainly because people are polite if someone's polite and they're willing to just listen they

are more like gonna just drift off not fall asleep like with their feet with their feet can you fall asleep with your feet I mean not necessarily like doze off but glaze over and almost stop just stop for a bit just like it's a weird one it's a weird one I should do it just just to see if I could really not in a bad way just I'd be talking and then they'd be like oh what was saying I said no just and we'll just carry on talking and I only

did it with people I'm never going to see again and and it was just for fun but it would be talking about something I'd start talking about something and then I'd walk in I'd move it into the mundane like really that had nothing to do with what we were talking about and it's amazing how far you can go you start talking about aliens and lawnmowers and you can nest things like start talking about and I've got a friend that does this and I cannot handle it because he does this naturally

and I can't I can't listen to him because I don't want to fall asleep and he does it and he'll start talking about a friend then he's still then he's talking about a friend's friend and a musician whose friend's friends yeah his friend's friends went to had an uncle who went and saw a musician and that musician's brother used to be a teacher and it's impossible to follow impossible I mean just impossible and I don't I mean he's a master of it I'm honestly I'm just I'm like his apprentice if

anything but he does it naturally like constantly and I can't follow it I can't follow that kind of a conversation because it's like I need in a normal conversation if I'm talking to somebody I need them to be factual I need them to be to the point and I need to I don't vagueness doesn't work vagueness is brilliant with hypnosis and talking rubbish is great for falling asleep or to relax and stuff like that but in a proper conversation a normal one-to-one conversation I can't handle it I can't you know

I know I can be probably sometimes a bit like this in a conversation with someone but I remember once this a friend of a friend I'm not don't worry we're not going to do it but she was a friend of a friend and I'm just kind of friends of her as well kind of I remember I was around her house and we were talking and she said something and I answered and she said uh I said what she said were you listening to me I said yeah why would I not

be listening she said most people don't listen so I listen to everything I hear everything people say oh so she actually thought she could say something at me or to me while I was in the room and not hear what she said why would anyone think they could do that it wasn't rude but it was I think she might have even said something about herself putting herself down and I pulled her up on it said what would you say like oh you heard that did you I said yeah you're just

over there on a chair combing your hair eating a pear I don't know but I'm not actually being in a room where people have three me and two other people and one of them said something that I didn't I didn't actually find particularly funny because maybe I was in a mood I don't know and that person said oh some people haven't got a sense of humor to the other person but we're at the same table how am I not going to hear that I didn't acknowledge it because it was someone

died I couldn't really acknowledge it too because of the situation and family and that but I was like are you I'm right here how could it what are you five are you not aware that I can hear you see that on buses some of the school kids and they'll be shouting making fun of someone getting on the bus maybe because they're overweight or whatever what they're wearing and the kids would be like in the middle of the bus or shouting look look at that bloke with the glasses and the ferret

oh yeah I don't know look he's still Jack Russell he's so weird look at big wobbly belly his glasses his bald head and whoever is at the front of the bus a big pink face whoever it might be I don't know but whoever they're shouting at it's like I feel like saying to them I can hear you I can hear you I'm just standing here I can hear you but they're so unaware maybe or maybe they just don't care when they're sitting in a chair maybe it's rare it took too

long didn't it that took way too long to come up with the next word yeah I mean even so it wouldn't have been clever I mean rare chair rare I mean that was gonna have a steak that's rare I mean yeah yeah blimey it was such a mare such a nightmare Vinnie's knackered we went out in the sun earlier he loved it loved being out there but I think it tires him out a bit this heat it's been a very warm day today it's a little bit stuffy in here because

I've got all these lights on I've got the windows closed I've got the curtains drawn so it's a little bit yeah I've got the door closed as well so not a lot of air a lot of air in the here at the moment there's plenty of air I mean it's yeah there's air but you know maybe not enough for him maybe maybe baby I hear you so yeah that's kind of it any more questions Vinnie hey hey why don't you leave me alone when I'm asleep sorry I just wanted to

include you in this it's just a shame that you're so close yet so far away literally just there right next to me but because of how low down this is you can't even see him I suppose unless I move the camera further away but I don't want it to be too far away that makes sense there's no necessary reason to have it too far away or too close I don't know he's fast asleep absolutely gone it's gone gone gone gone gone gone so this is this is kind of a Q&A

Friday it's not a very good Q&A Friday because it's been Vinnie's questions not not it's not being bad but it's not like a normal one so I'll put the I'll put Vinnie's special next to it and in in the title hmm so we've got the weekend coming up it's Saturday it's Friday today Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday our family family get together soon and then yeah 26th of August is my birthday I'll be 54 54 wow wow wow 54 54 54 it just this this sounds wrong sounds wrong 54 come

on that's just what really 54 is just yeah I don't get it I don't get it I really don't I mean 20 years ago 20 years ago I was so what is it August yeah just after my 34th birthday I got a job in fact I might have been in the Isle of Wight at this time 20 years ago Isle of Man sorry not Isle of Wight Isle of Man which is ironic because it's I think I only saw two women the whole time I was there seriously I didn't hardly

see any women it's mainly men I might just had a bad week and we got there just after the TT bikes so I have a racing week or weekend there every year it's very famous Isle of Man racing motorbikes yeah motorbikes and that had just happened so we went there I think the week afterwards or two weeks after he's completely gone he's so asleep right now I'm shaking him and nothing nothing at all Vinnie Vinnie he's so he's so gone I have to wake him up to get out because there's

only a little gap about that that wide for me to get out of here oh well so I'm going to go and this is lived up to its name it's supposed to be boring and it was boring so thank you for listening thank you for watching if you're watching please remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself lots of love bye
