(no music) #1284 Ancestry DNA Results - Let me bore you to sleep (5th February 2025)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason Newland. Vinnie's in the background with one ear up staring at me. So this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep and my glasses look a bit weird.

I have, that's what I look like without my glasses, so much to tell you. So please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I started Jiu Jitsu last night.

So today's Wednesday the 5th of January 2025. But this recording, I'm not going to talk about the Jiu Jitsu. I'll talk about that tomorrow.

Because this is my big reveal. What do you mean? Well I finally got the results back from my Ancestry.com DNA test and I haven't looked at it. It came in last night about five o'clock.

I've not even opened it yet to see what the results are. Because I wanted to do it live, well to look at it while I'm recording it, if that makes sense. So it's not live as in this isn't a live stream.

But you get my natural reaction from the results. So I just need to go to I know if I go to Ancestry, go to the email. Ancestry, how was your experience? I haven't experienced anything yet.

Was it yesterday? Tuesday. Ancestry, so it's 10 past five yesterday afternoon. Your DNA, Ancestry DNA results are in.

It's the moment you've been waiting for. That's what it says on here. Your Ancestry DNA are for whatever.

Results are ready. Now it's time to discover what is what it is about your DNA that makes you unique, uniquely you. Explore your DNA results.

However, I want to talk about you. I am hurting. Honestly.

Okay, I'll talk about tomorrow. But if you've listened to any of my recordings, you know, over the years, you'll know that I maybe have a potential to get an excited over stuff like that. I'm excited over the Ancestry DNA results as well.

I do all I say, or not all I say, I probably will keep coming back to it. But I will I will talk about it tomorrow. I want to talk about it now.

I Oh, by the way, if you've got any questions for Q&A Friday, this coming Friday, please go to Jason Newland's boring group on Facebook, Jason Newland's boring group. And please ask me a question on there. There's a theater place you can ask.

And I will answer your question. And I will mention your your name, your first name in the answer on Friday's Q&A Friday on Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Friday.

It's kind of weird, really, because I've got the next three days already sorted for Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Today, Ancestry DNA results. And tomorrow, jiu jitsu, first lesson.

And then Friday Q&A Friday. That's good. I also do intend to I've got possibly a going to do a hypnosis recording today as well.

Later on, but not right now. It's 1135 in the morning. And I have a drink of water.

I'll tell you what. I didn't realize how unfit I was. Until last night.

I knew I wasn't, you know, I mean, cardiovascularly. And also, flexibility. Blimey, sorry about that.

I just banged the desk. However, because I've been doing squats with weights, well, without weights to start with, and then with weights, and I do 110 every morning. It's strengthened my lower back, because I've got arthritis in my lower back.

So it's strengthened my lower back. But also, my legs are stronger as then they used to be. So I'm not when I was a kid, obviously, they were stronger than well, you know, I mean, like in comparison, as far as I could do squats, I could do the whole Kung Fu stance.

Is it a horse stance, where you kind of really low down and put your hands up like that. And I don't know, like the Kung Fu movies. Anyway, I was able to do, I was able to squat down to a degree, keep my balance, not so much.

But then, luckily, and I was learning some of the most basic moves. And it's all groundwork. So I was a little bit concerned, you know, if I'd be able to do it.

But I thought, you know what, I'm never gonna know if I can do it if I don't try. If I don't at least try. So I signed up for a month, twice a week for a month, and then just for an hour each time.

And I'm not the oldest person there. I was using Vinnie as an excuse not to go. Because I knew he wouldn't like it.

And I thought he might howl the place down. So what I did is I spoke to my neighbor downstairs, who's really the only person that's going to get majorly affected by his noise. Because they're the only, only flat is actually attached to mine.

The others are the other side of the building. So they'll hear it if they're in a hallway, the communal hallway. And possibly if they've got their windows open.

They might hear it, but it's not gonna be enough for them to disturb people. They can't hear him when he's barking, really, because it's so far. And I've got this door closed in the living room as well.

And I got the windows closed. So I spoke to my neighbor, gave him my key said, Can you just if he if he's really, really going for it, and he sounds distressed? Can you just pop in and just comfort him for a few minutes? So they said, Yeah, so it's cool. They really loves them.

So he's be happy for them to come in. But it was like an emergency really. But when I did leave, apparently he howled for about 15 minutes.

Try not to listen to what I'm saying about jujitsu and everything because I'm going to be repeating myself tomorrow. So I talk about jujitsu and then just laugh off the DNA test results. Do that another time.

No, but I'm interested now I want to I want to see. Right. So the DNA test results.

So let's go and do this. So I got YouTube channel as well. If you're watching on YouTube, please subscribe.

And my YouTube is at Jason Newland. And I said I got Facebook group, the YouTube my my website is actually my podcast, which is pretty cool. So all the latest recordings are on there.

Okay, explore DNA results. Are you ready? Oh, never been so excited. Okay, wow.

Ancestry. Okay, so it is the first thing that comes up. Okay.

Ancestral regions. So this is it. Ancestral regions.

Jason, your DNA results are here. Ancestral regions learn where your story started. Ancestral journeys pinpoint the paths of your recent ancestors.

DNA matches. Connect with living relatives. View my results.

Okay, here we go. You're the first to see this well, at the same time as me. Unless of course, the people that do they do the DNA results have a look but I can't imagine maybe they're too particularly interested.

You know, if they're doing that all day, you probably wouldn't want to know. Okay. Now this is not actually a huge surprise what I'm seeing in front of me.

I am 48% Irish. 48% of my DNA is Irish or from Ireland. 44 that's my ancestral regions.

So 44% 48% is Ireland. 44% is England and Northwestern Europe. 4% is Germanic Europe.

3% is Scotland. 1% is maritime South Southeast Asia. Wow.

So let's have a look at the island. So Munster, it says here, sub region of Ireland, we now connect you to an even to even smaller, more specific ancestral regions. These connections can vary can be very old from over 1000 years ago.

So they may include places or populations not yet recorded in your family tree. Connection strength, moderate Munster. I don't know where Munster is.

Says in Ireland, your answer to your ancestral region estimate is 48%. Our island population region is centered in this small island famed for its emerald green landscape, vibrant Celtic folklore, and deep rooted spirit of hospitality. The region's Celtic heritage is notable in its culture, landscape, and lyrical dialects of the Irish language spoken here.

The island boasts a rich sporting culture. It's just talking about Ireland. Okay, stop me need to know about that.

Primary Location. Where do people with this region live? Primary Island. Okay.

Link a family tree. Who in your family come free or who in your family tree comes from this region? Select Jason Newman's family tree. Nothing.

Okay. They want me to spend money. That's what they want.

England and Northwestern Europe. England and Northwestern Europe. So history of England.

So as a mixture, isn't it of Channel Islands, England, Northwestern Europe is Belgium, France, Belgium, Germany, Belgium, Isle of Man, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland, Wales, Netherlands and Belgium. So I reckon I might be from Belgium. Oh, DNA by parent.

Unlock now. What all you can I recur? No, because that means the parents got to actually be on there. Suppose parent could be on there.

Let's go back. I don't know quite what I'm doing here. Matches.

Have I got any matches? Matches. We've added an extra layer of security to AncestryDNA. We're enhancing the security of AncestryDNA member data.

To access AncestryDNA, select one of the options below. Enable two-step verification, sign in with. I've got no idea.

Email. Send code. Alright, let's do it to my phone.

Now I can't do it to my phone because I'm using my phone. Email. Send code via email.

Okay. That's easy enough. So let's have a look.

Ancestry. Inbox verification code. Copy.

Oh, come on. Let me paste it. Come on, man.

That's it. Right. Enable two-step verification.

I don't want it. Enter code. Another code.

Blimey. Is this necessary? Really? Right, here we go. Submit code.

This is your one-time emergency backup code. If you lose access to email, okay. One.

Oh, please copy and paste. Where am I supposed to put it? Where am I? Just kind of bothered with that. Right.

Here we go. Wow. I've got close family.

I'm going to read the names out. Should I? I got two two close families. Just Pete and Irene.

So Just Pete. Just Pete. First cousin one times removed or half first cousin.

Irene, first cousin one x removed or half granddaughter. Grandaunt. What does Grandaunt mean? 5% shared DNA.

Just Pete is 9% shared DNA. Denise, second cousin. Denise Phillips.

Phillips. Julie Pilbeam. Bruce Boochamp.

Mike crude 2% 2000. So these are three 4% Denise Phillips 4% shared DNA. Julie.

Bruce Mike 3% DNA. Richard Platt 2% DNA. James Reeves 2% DNA.

Maureen Slater. Second cousin one x removed or whatever. That's 2% DNA.

Dee Davis. Daisy New 12% third cousin or half second cousin. And that's 2% DNA.

Rachel Platt, Paul Dylan, Jane Cody, Samantha Dawkins, 1% DNA. Well, from the looks of this, I ain't got no kids, have I? Because they'd be 50% of my DNA. So that's I mean, it's not good.

It's not good or bad. I mean, it's just there's no, there's no close family that are kind of high percentage. I would have thought that if a cousin or first cousin or second cousin.

Bearing in mind, they share 50% of their parents DNA. Their parents and both their their parents on my bed, my dad and their dad shared 50% they should have to maybe not the same 50%. But 50% of each parent, then I would have like 25% DNA, the same as the cousin first cousin, wouldn't I? No.

I don't know. Right. So let's have a look at summary.

It's gonna give me a summary. Summary. So regions, Ireland, 48%.

I've already done that. So DNA report, Munster, Ireland, and then 44%. 48% Ireland, 44%.

England and Northwestern Europe, 4% Germanic Europe, 3% Scotland, 1% Maritime Southeast. So I just say to my friend, I'm Irish, you know, I've got got a high percent knowledge in Irish in me. And he just say, Oh, just because your grandmother's Irish doesn't mean that you're Irish.

Well, I am. My highest percentage of me is actually Irish DNA. Thank you very much.

So their traits, traits. So it's another thing I've got unlock. Here are some of the traits, heart rate recovery, average recovery rate.

Okay, physical strength, naturally stronger. Determination, more determined. Morning or night person, morning person.

Not for at least three quarters of my life was not a morning person. Now I am taking naps. More likely, I'm a nap taker.

True, true. So unlock all 40 plus traits. How do I do that? They really want me to sign up.

But I'm signed up. I'm already. I mean, you're ultimately charged.

I don't know. I don't know. Right, here we go.

So I might as well go in for it might as well do it all. So motion sickness according to this unlikely to get motion sickness. True, I don't.

Alcohol flush. Face does not flush. Look at my face is permanently flushed.

Asparagus odour. What? Able to smell asparagus metabolites. Most likely.

Oh, okay, I'm getting this wrong. Motion sickness less likely. Okay.

Athletic ability more naturally athletic. Well, when I was younger, yeah, I'm not athletic. Yeah, not athletic.

I wouldn't say athletic. I was rubbish at sports. I was really good at dodgeball.

But I grew up on a council estate when I was a kid. And I had to dodge people, not other kids chucking bricks at me. So I learned, you know, when it's a ball, just pretend it's a brick, you move a lot quicker.

Athletic abilities, more athletic, but I don't know. I mean, I'll go for it. Hey, they say nice things about me for my DNA.

And my brother, my older brother was very athletic. He used to win all of the when I win, but he used to be used to win medals at sports days and stuff and very athletic. beta carotene.

Don't know what that means. What is beta carotene lower than average levels? I don't know what that means. What's beta carotene carotena? Anyone? No idea.

I literally do not know. What's beta carotene? beta carotene. beta carotene is what makes sweet potatoes, carrots, and cantaloupes orange in colour.

DNA from both parents have about equal influence. The test looks look for four different DNA differences. These differences have been linked with either higher or lower levels of beta carotene.

And your result is based on the combination of these DNA differences that you have. beta carotene levels are mostly influenced by the moods of food you eat. The best sources of beta carotene include dark green, leafy vegetables, and orange fruits and vegetables.

The study of genetics and nutrient levels is in its early stages. There may be other genes associated with beta carotene levels that haven't been identified yet. I don't know what I still don't understand.

What does that mean? Your genes influence your ability your okay, your genes influence your body's ability to transform beta carotene, the pigment found in carrots into vitamin A. Apparently mine is average. Why didn't you say that? Why did I have to just go through all that? Lower than average. Okay, lower than average.

Very low. What's fitment A for? I don't know. Fitment D is sunlight, isn't it? No, fitment C. Fitment D is for your bones.

Fitment A for your, or Fitment C. Fitment C is sunlight, isn't it? Fitment D. But you get Fitment D from the sun as well. I was anemic. Well, I was slightly anemic a few years ago, because I just wasn't getting out.

I was, I wasn't in the closet. I just wasn't, wasn't going outside, hardly at all. And I had to be on these tablets for, I wasn't like fully anemic.

I wasn't like fully, but I had to have these tablets for about a month and come to get me back. Well, they're probably vitamins, actually. Okay.

Birth weight above average? No. I was a tiny little thing when I was born. So I think this is probably based on my weight now.

My dad was big. My dad was even when he was at school, he was 14 and a half stone, which is 80, 85 kilos, 90, I don't know, 85 kilos. So that was when he was at school.

So it was, he was a big baby, I think. But I wasn't, I was tiny. I was like absolutely miniature.

I must have been, I couldn't have been a big baby then been an absolutely tiny child. Bitter sensitivity. Unable to taste a certain bitter flavour.

I have a low sensitivity to that. Okay. Caffeine intake.

Likely to drink a lot of caffeine, a lot, likely to drink a lot less caffeine than average. That's me. Okay.

Right. No, blimey. I keep forgetting it.

So birth weight above average, not right. Bitter sensitivity. I'm unable to taste a certain bitter flavour.

How do you taste? How do you test that? If you don't, if you don't taste it, you don't know whether it's supposed to be bitter or not. You can only taste it. So if something's supposed to be bitter, you'll know by saying, oh, it's bitter.

Or something sweet. Maybe that's why I got a sweet tooth. What's left of them.

Bitter sensitivity. So unable to taste certain bitter flavours. So I've got a low sensitivity with my flavouring.

Maybe. Caffeine intake. Likely to drink a lot less caffeine than average.

Less than one drink daily. Not so much now. I never big, big, in my normal, in my overall life.

I was brought up in the 70s and 80s, you know, like that. Tea. Tea.

I'm British or English. I was born in England. So tea, tea, tea, tea, tea.

It's all about tea. Most of my adult life, I didn't drink tea. I started drinking coffee a little bit, probably in my late 20s, early 30s.

When I was doing the call centre work, I'd have a coffee during my break. And I think even more recently, I was drinking one cup of coffee a day. And that was it.

But I do now drink tea. I have a few cups of tea a day. So but that's not I kind of prefer water, but I used to drink Coke.

So I don't drink Coke anymore. Cleft chin. Likely to have a cleft chin.

I haven't got a cleft chin. What's a cleft chin? Cleft chin. Is that when you got a hole in it? Like what's his name? Cleft or no cleft.

The generics of this trait aren't well understood. We tested one marker or location in your DNA to estimate your result. But there's likely more to the genetic story here.

Did you know humans are the only animals with chins? Phineas got a chin. While there are theories about what purpose the human chin serves, no one really knows for certain why we have them. No.

Ancestry. What is what is a cleft chin? Cosmetic. We compared your DNA to the DNA of more than 790,000 people who answered a question about having a cleft chin.

Cosmetic procedures can help you gain or close a cleft chin. I don't know. I don't know what a cleft chin is.

Anyone? Let's go back. Let's go back. I said, right.

Dancing. Cleft chin. Competitiveness.

Likely to be competitive. Yeah, I'd answer that. That's fairly more with myself, though, not with other people.

Yeah, probably not so much with other people in in front of me, maybe with someone I don't know. Like, I don't know. And dancing, like least, least likely to enjoy dancing as true.

Dancing. No, no, no, no. Which is weird, because you're not 48% Irish.

It's known for the dancing, isn't it? The old dancing with no arms. When you're not moving the arms, I mean, no upper body movement. Desire to succeed.

Less likely motivated. Right, so likely motivated by success. Okay, I'll take that.

Determination. More determined. Dimples.

Unlikely to have dimples. No, I ain't got no dimples. That's not a dimple, is it? It's more just, I don't know what it is, just a crease in my face.

So less likely to have dimples. I've got a couple there in my chest. Just doing things alone.

Likely to prefer doing things with people. Oh, they got that one wrong. Earlobes.

Unattached earlobes. Yep. But most, I mean, I suppose some people have them stuck to this.

Does that mean when that the bit of the bottom is attached to the to the face or whatever? Or does that mean when you've got your ears just hanging off? I don't know. I think it's Yeah, I haven't got mine on attached. I think that's what it means.

So I'm likely to have unattached earlobes. Earwax type. Wet, wet ear wax.

So I don't know what that means. Does it give you view detail? Okay. Light eyes.

Which I've got my blue eyes. Full facial hair fullness. Jeans for fuller facial hair.

I don't know, kind of. Finger length. Ring finger longer than index finger.

Nope. No, because that's the index finger, isn't it? That's the ring finger. It's not longer.

No. Ring finger longer than index finger. I didn't know that was even a thing.

No, that's a ring finger, isn't it? That's not a ring finger. That's a ring finger. That's the index finger.

That's the index finger. That's the index finger. That's a ring finger.

That's not the. Yes, that's the index. So yeah, this is longer.

This is longer than the ring finger. Longer ring finger. Okay, well, that's not true.

Focus. Likely to focus easily. Yeah, pretty much.

Freckles. Likely to be freckled. I was very freckly when I was a kid.

I think when I was about 12, 13, my freckles turned to acne. And what else? Fresh coriander aversion. That's a weird, that's a bit random, isn't it? Unlikely to enjoy fresh coriander.

Okay, I wouldn't even know what fresh coriander is, or coriander is. I know it's a, it's a word. Getting stronger.

Likely to get stronger easily. I'll take that. That's quite high on that one as well.

Yeah, I think I notice it when I do weights. I do feel stronger. Although Sebastian, Nobby Sebastian says, I can see you don't work out your arms.

Well, from that angle, it doesn't look like I did, but I do have. Look, look, there's some muscle there. Might be hidden, but this, I've got some muscles in my arms, my triceps.

Look, look, look, look. I've got some muscles. Just very hidden, very well hidden.

Goal setter. Unlikely to be a goal setter. Yeah, not great on that, to be fair.

Hair colour. Blonde hair and could pass on red hair. I've mentioned this before.

I was born with blonde hair. But a lot of kids are born with different colour hair and then they grow, you know, I might have been red. But I know that a lot of my, I think at least three of my cousins have got ginger kids.

And the not just first cousins, but also second cousins. And I had a ginger beard, all grey, not all the grey bits now, but you know, the parts of me that became grey first in both my hair, where my hair used to be, and my, on my chin, that used to be ginger. So like dark brown hair with ginger.

That was what my hair was like, mixed in. But not blonde. It's getting blonde now.

Look, I've got a bit of blonde on my chin and so my hair's a bit blonde now. Some call it grey, I call it blonde. Hair strand thickness, thick hair.

Yeah, well, used to. My hair used to be very, very, very thick. Very curly.

And there's the next one curly hair. Yep, got curly hair. You can't see it when it's like really, really short like it is now.

If I let it grow, it's very wiry, and it grows out. It's almost very, I don't know how to explain it without not sounding rude, but it's a very, it sticks out and very curly. It doesn't, once it gets to a certain length, it just starts curling.

And it's unstoppable. The only problem now is because I'm receding, I've got a bald patch from the back of my head, the, and there's gaps. There's like, I like to think of my head, my hair really is like the world used to be, you know, one continent, and then they started to break up and the sea divided the different continents.

And that's kind of what's happening with my hairs. So there's, there's the gaps, bigger gaps between the clumps of hair. So it's all one bit of hair, technically, but with a big ocean in the middle, at the back, the crown, and the seas kind of come in and flooded one part of it.

And a few cracks have been like come in and like waters come in and the, you know, continents starting to be created. And a whole lot of it was just disappeared, you know, high, high tide and hair type curly hair, hand eye cord. Oh my goodness.

Hand eye coordination, likely to have good hand eye coordination. Okay. Maybe, maybe I do.

I don't know, really. Hang, hangriness. One earth is hangriness.

Please don't tell me that they've made up the new word. Hangry, being like angry and hungry at the same time. Please tell me they haven't because I will lose all respect for this.

Hangriness. H-A-N-G-R-Y-N-E-S-S. It is.

The word hangry, a combination of hungry and angry, entered mainstream use in 2010s. But it actually dates back to 1956. I never heard it until recently.

So it's been around since before I was born. It wasn't used. I would have noticed it.

Jason, your DNA suggests you don't get hangry. And yeah, I don't get angry when I'm hungry. I just eat.

When I'm hungry, I'm hungry. So I was just, oh, I was a little bit surprised at that. Anyway, heart rate recovery, average recovery rate, heat tolerance, likely to tolerate heat well.

Hmm. I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. When I can.

It's not really tested in this country. Because we don't have much heat. We have.

If we have a heat wave, or heat, yeah, heat, yeah, heat wave would be the right word, isn't it? And all these warnings on the news, it's going to be hot. And it maybe lasts for two days. It's the hottest day since the prehistoric times.

And then the next day, it's cold. It's raining. It's like just, it's you understand, we need to be careful and, you know, maybe not go out if it's too hot.

But we don't get that much in this country of like super heat in England. Why not my part of country anyway? My part, the part that I own. So I remember it was a few years ago.

It was so hot. I'm now going to contradict myself. It was so hot.

I was literally walking around naked. The neighbors weren't happy. I was indoors.

But literally, it was so hot. I couldn't, I just had the window, the curtains drawn, all the windows were open. It was just really uncomfortably hot.

But because I've lived here a long time, I know that that's not usual. And it's like, doesn't really matter. It's a very, it's like the cold, cold periods.

I kind of the way I view it is it's not going to last long. It's not nice at the time, but it the seasons change so quickly in this country. Today's beautiful day outside.

It's a bit chilly, but it's beautiful. Blue skies, sunny. It's like a summer's day, but without the temperature, really.

All the birds are singing. Maybe not that they're singing, whatever they sing. If they could talk to us during the first thing they say to us is, just let you know we're not singing, we're actually talking to each other.

It's not singing. How would you like it if we said that every time we heard you singing, we, oh, they're talking to each other. Do you reckon birds are confrontational like that? It might be seagulls I can see being very obnoxious.

I just. And also they're clearly scared of heights. Have you ever seen them flying? Well, don't do then just walk.

Introvert or extrovert? Oh, no, wait, I'm hot. Oh. Heart tolerance, heat tolerance, likely to tolerate heat well.

The only time I've really struggled with heat was in Thailand. But it was, you know, 40 degrees, whatever that is in degrees, hot. And I was all right most of the time, I was okay.

One occasion when I was walking up these steps to go and visit a Buddhist temple, massive Buddhist statue, actually, but it was near a temple and very steep steps and a lot of them. And it was getting hard because the altitude is high in Thailand anyway, but we were going even higher up. It was a bit too much for me.

But. It's something I learned quite quickly, which made me feel okay, actually, because, you know, going there and like being a little bit uncomfortable with the heat. This there was a little bit of me feeling a little bit inferior to the locals.

They're so lucky there. They can deal with this and they're used to it. The Thai people do not like the heat either.

Like the really hot days, they don't like it. Any more than anyone else, really. So that's quite interesting to see.

It's like, okay, I just thought if you lived in a place and you were born in a place like that, you'd be used to it. But they're not, they don't like it when it's really hot. Not all of them, but that's what I got from the survey I did.

So holding your breath is a bit random, isn't it? Likely able to hold breath for longer. I used to be able to do that. Let's test.

How long was that? About four minutes. I used to when I was a kid, I used to get under the water in the bath. Mindfully, I did it myself.

And I'd hold my breath to see how long I could go. And I remember thinking to myself, because I'd look at the watch and just like, you know, see how watching it and everything. After probably a few years of doing this, I realized perhaps I needed to get myself a waterproof watch.

I was going through them at a rapid rate. And I used to be able to hold my breath for a few minutes. When I was 10, maybe nine, 10.

Maybe eight, nine, there was a TV show called Man From Atlantis with Bobby Ewing from Dallas, he was he was a man from Atlantis before he got into oil. And he because I struggled to swim on top of the water. Even though I was having swimming lessons, I just couldn't like it didn't really.

I just wasn't. It wasn't fitting with me, my swimming style. Now the man from Atlantis used to swim under the water.

And they just wiggle his body. So I should do that. So I should go from one length to the other underneath the water and just come out the other end.

And quite often I bang my head on the other side, because I what it's hard to see where you're going when you just like convulsing. And I bang my head on the other side, but it was pretty good. I was good at that.

But there's no style, there was no, there was no name for that style of swimming. Although there was one weird situation where I'd hurt my I'd hurt my ankle. So I could only use one leg.

I just kept ending up at the same spot. It's weird. And holding your individual or team sports, likely to prefer individual sports.

What's an individual sport? I don't know. What's an individual sport? Do they mean something that isn't a team sport? That's what I'm thinking. Because oh, it says they're team sports, individual sports.

Because whatever sport you do, there's also always another person, isn't there? Whether it's chess, whether it's tennis, even though you're not necessarily in a team like football or rugby or basketball or cricket or whatever. You are still, it's another person involved. Like racing car driving.

There's other people involved. There's Yeah, so I guess that's what I mean. So individual.

This next one, guess which one I am? introvert or extrovert? introvert. Majority, but yeah, I have my moments. I had my little extrovert moments sometimes, but generally introvert is correct.

This, I've got no idea what this means. iris patterning. I know it's about the eyes, but furrows, crips and rings.

The iris is the bit around. It's the bit the white bit, isn't it around the pupil. Crips and rings.

I don't know what that means. Jumping high, likely to be a high jumper. No, I obviously don't know how tall I am.

I mean, really, I'm not saying that. I don't want to generalise but I will. The higher jumpers, the highest jumpers are taller.

The fastest runners are generally taller. Now, I'm pretty sure if you looked in the record books of the fastest runners and the highest jumpers, they will all be tall. Let's check it out.

And record books. Highest jumper. Highest jumper.

1993. Cuba. Javier Sotomayor.

He jumped eight foot, eight foot. So let's have a look at progress. 19.

Wow. Now, okay, so let's say the Guinness Book of Records because it might not be in there. So let's just continue.

Javier Sotomayor. It doesn't say how tall he is. Oh, seven inches, four foot.

So that? No, he's not. Ah, he cleared six foot six. But how tall was he? Why can't it tell us? It's not telling me.

Surely it must know what I need, what information I want. Cuba, 2.45 metres. Is that his height? Or is that the height that he jumped? Probably the year he retired in 2001.

Okay, let's look him up. Let's find out what is what height he was. Guaranteed is tall.

I mean, actually, it lets me, it lets me look it up. Let's have a look. Look up.

Ask copilot. Let's have a look. Javier Sotomayor, born on October the 13th, 67.

He won numerous records, Wikipedia should say his height on Wikipedia. Height 1.93 metres, six foot four inches. So yeah.

And what about the fastest, fastest record books, fastest runner? A fastest runner. Let's have a look. Usain Bolt.

So and I do believe Usain Bolt was pretty tall as well. Let's just check. Usain Bolt.

That's weird. Usain Bolt. Come on.

What's this got to do with with my DNA? Don't worry about it. This is hard work. Come on.

Usain Bolt. All right. Okay.

Ask copilot. Usain Bolt. Often referred as lightning bolt.

Born in 1986. How could it be more? How could he be? I was like 16 back then. I thought he was about 40, 50 now.

Blimey. Wikipedia. Let's see how tall was he? Six foot five inches.

So yeah, the highest jumper and the fastest runner, both very tall. And probably didn't need to go to that much trouble to prove my point. So I'm not that tall.

Leader. More likely to take the lead. I don't know about that.

Making contact with a ball. So whether or not I touch balls, that's basically what it's saying. Easier to make contact.

I don't know. Male hair loss. Genes for higher chance of hair loss.

Damn, my mum. Morning or night person? Morning person. Yeah, that's true now.

But you didn't used to be. Mosquito bites. Less attractive.

Less attractive to mosquitoes. I mean, how does as it's like. It makes me feel rejected.

It's a good thing, but at the same time, come on. Less attractive to mosquitoes. I don't have what they want.

Even mosquito doesn't like me. Muscle fatigue. Muscles tire faster than average.

Okay, fair enough. I don't know. Omega three average levels.

Optimism. Unlikely to be optimistic. I do have to work on that.

I do. Hence all the self help and motivational books that I've read. Oxygen use.

Above average ability to raise maximum oxygen use. Pain tolerance. Lower pain tolerance.

Performing choreography. Performing choreography. Performing choreography is easier.

I don't know. I mean, no, that doesn't go really with the not a dancer, but good at choreography. Good at choreography, but no good at dancing.

Persistent. Unlikely to be persistent. Depends on the situation.

I can be quite persistent at times. With when I was doing sales, especially. Pet ownership.

Likely to have a pet. Hmm. Wonder where he is.

Oh, he's asleep. He's laying in the sun on the floor. Physical agility.

More agile. Physical balance. Likely to have good balance.

Physical flexibility. More flexible. I don't know about that.

Physical strength. Naturally stronger. Didn't know how to do that one.

Picky eating or picky eater. Yeah, I'm quite a picky eater. Playing an instrument.

Likely to play an instrument. I'd say yes from the past, not now. But I have.

I used to play different instruments when I was younger. Not very well, but I did do them. Quick reflexes.

Quick reflexes. Yeah, I do have quick reflexes sometimes. See, I'm a bit like Spider-Man.

Remembering dreams. Likely to remember dreams. Yeah.

Yeah, sometimes. Risk taking. Avoid taking risks.

Generally. But I've had my moments where I've made the wrong decisions and took risks that I shouldn't have took. But maybe that's just normal.

Runners high. Likely to experience a runner's high. We're never going to find that out, am I? Self-confidence.

I might be really weird. The only time I'm going to run is someone's chasing me. So I'm going to be all anxious and scared.

I'm running away and suddenly I start to feel really good. That's going to be weird. Self-confidence.

More self-confident. I wouldn't say that I've got even any self-confidence, to be fair. Self-discipline.

More motivated by others. Skin pigmentation. DNA suggests a light to medium skin tone.

I mean light as in not brown, but I'm pink. It's the Irish skin, maybe. But I don't know.

Well, 48% Irish. I don't know. That's part of the reason I wanted to do the DNA test.

Speed. Less speedy when playing sports. I'm not speedy in any situation.

Generally. I mean, sometimes I've been known to be very quick. Spicy foods.

I'm not going to enjoy spicy foods. That's true. Don't like spicy foods.

Sports technique. More difficult to develop good technique. I'm not sure what that means.

Sprinting. Likely a sprinter. No.

Sun sneezing. Sun sneezing. A sneezer.

That's hay fever, isn't it? Sun sneezing. They're bringing up about 18 to 35% of people feel like sneezing when suddenly exposed to bright light. As far back as 350 BCE, the Greek philosopher Aristotle discussed the phenomenon in his book of problems.

Theorizing that the heat of the sun causes a tickle in the nose, which led to sneezing. I generally, first time I heard that. Maybe, maybe I do.

Weird. Right. Spicy foods.

Sweet sensitivity. Extra sensitive. Does that mean that I like sweet stuff? Because I do.

Taking naps. I'm a nap taker. So that's already been established earlier.

Ticklishness. Unlikely to be ticklish. When I was a kid I was, but not now.

I know some people can't have their feet massaged or anything like that. I can have my whole body massaged and I'm fine with it. I think the problem is why some people get ticklish is because they tense and like, make a big deal of it.

If you just relax. Of course, I'm not everybody. I don't know what everybody feels like.

But with the feet, you know, if you start like going with a big feather duster, it's going to tickle. But that's probably not the most professional foot massage you're ever going to get. You might have to pay a bit extra for that one.

And tolerating dairy, likely to tolerate dairy. Thank you. Tongue rolling.

Unlikely to roll your tongue. What does that even mean? If you can roll your tongue, you have a neat trait to show off, but it's probably not a practical advantage. One in 33 people perfected their tongue roll after a month of practice.

Is that tongue roll? I don't know. It looks horrible. So I won't stop.

Anal be no. Try new things likely to enjoy trying new things. Unami sensitivity.

Less Unami sensitivity. Does anybody before I look at this up? Does anyone know what an Unami is? What is that? Never heard of that in my life. We looked at one well studied genetic marker on location in your DNA to estimate how sensitive you are to savor flavors also known as Umami.

Some foods with high levels of naturally occurring monosodium glutamate MSG includes seaweed, fish sauce, vegetables, vegemites. I'm confused. This isn't what I signed up for.

Less Umami sensitivity, apparently. Unibrow, no unibrow. Oh, I want an unibrow.

I don't really have much in the way of eyebrows. I do have them. But I've always had, if you look at the picture me when I was a kid, you can see I kind of quite quite good eyebrows when I was a kid.

Britain's quite fair, they're very kind of light. Vitamin B12 higher than average levels. I don't know if that's good or not.

Vitamin C average levels. Vitamin D average levels. Vitamin E average levels.

Watching sports. Unlikely to enjoy watching sports. It's both true and completely false at the same time.

I'm a big boxing fan. So I watch boxing regularly, but no other sports. Wisdom teeth unlikely to develop or for wisdom teeth.

True. That's true. Check out the regions where your traits are most common.

Your traits influence both your parents. Okay. Asparagus, caffeine intake.

You know what it said? Asparagus odour. I thought that meant like me smelling like an asparagus. Eye colour, freckles, hair colour, skin pigmentation.

No, retry. Come on. Don't mess me about Mr. Website.

Retry. Nope, it's not doing it. Right.

I'm going back and it's not even let me do anything. DNA. Well, come on.

Come on. Come on. Go back.

Go back. Right. So by personality, all traits are okay.

So personality. Give ancestor DNA to your family. Introvert or extrovert.

Playing an instrument. So these are 10 traits. Personality, nutrients, performance, sensory, alcohol flush, face does not flush.

They can't any more than it is already. I can't get any redder. My face can't, you know, motion sickness.

I don't get asparagus odour. Able to smell asparagus. I figured everyone could smell everything, right? Bitter sensitivity, unable to taste a certain bit and bitter flavour.

Both parents had an equal influence. For the motion sickness, more parent one influence, alcohol flush, more parent one influence. Okay.

So which is parent one and parent two? Let's have a look. But we all said they don't know today. There's no one side.

So face does not flush. Influenced by parents. Okay, let's go for personality by parent personality.

And birth weight. Okay. One parent influenced that.

Cleft chin. Competitiveness, one person. Dancing, two.

Least likely to enjoy dancing. So neither of my parents enjoy dancing, according to this. Well, less likely to.

Desire to succeed, less motivated by success, one. Determination. Determination itself, more determined, both parents.

So let's have a look what ones are both parents. Focus, likely to focus easily, both parents. Hairstrand thickness, both parents.

There's not a lot of both parents, to be fair. Playing an instrument, both parents. Runners high, both parents.

Okay. Speed, less speedy when playing sports. Both parents.

Tongue rolling, unlikely to roll your tongue, both parents. Vitamin D, average level with both parents. Traits, inheritance by parents.

Okay, right. So it just will sort that one out. Okay, go back.

Go back, go forward, go back. Okay, right. So summary.

I don't know, I think this might be it. So I've got three matches. Denise, Irene, and just Pete.

First cousin, one times removed, or half first cousin. Irene is first cousin, one times removed, or half grand aunt. And Denise is second cousin, or half first cousin, one times removed.

And out of 24,604 matches on their database, so that I've got my I share my DNA with 26,604 matches. DNA by parents, see what you inherited from each parent, even if they haven't taken the DNA test. Matches by parent.

Which side of your family are you matched on? Show me. Parent one. Last names in trees, baker, barns, gardener, and gardener.

And parent two, Gibson, Anderson, Anson, Baker. Wow. So these are the most common last names which can be found in the trees of your closest parent one match.

And the second one, Gibson, Anderson, Anson, and Baker. These are the most common last names which can be found in the trees of your closest parent two match. Regions by parent.

Parent one. East and Southeast England. Parent two, East and Southeast England.

Common journey. Well, both born in England, I do believe. Parent one.

Few more. So parent one. Right.

So I'm going to do that. Right. Parent one.

50%. The 20 parent one was 22% Ireland, Ireland. Parent two was 26%.

26% Ireland. Okay. Which makes me 48% Irish, Ireland, DNA, England and Northwestern Europe.

27% and 17%. So 44% that one of my parents was Germanic Europe 4%. Which makes me 4%.

Scotland, one of my ancestors was 3%. I think parent two is my dad because he did the ancestry decades ago. And he traced the family tree back to Scotland.

Or part of it back to Scotland. So I'm guessing it must be my dad's line. So I'm 3% Scottish.

Maritime Southern Asia. That would be I guess by mum. So it's me guessing it's a 22% Irish on my mum's side.

See, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I thought the Irish only came from my dad's side.

But clearly, my name, my dad, my mum was part Irish and my dad was part Irish. So my dad's mother was Irish. Which means that yeah, it I'm confused now.

But yeah, anyway, so I've got 40% of me is I from Ireland. That's my ancestry. I'm pleased about that.

I am. I don't even know why. I think it's just I think it's my name was Irish.

Well, her both her parents were Irish. And she was born in this country. But so she was Irish British, I suppose.

Choose or or or what choose or or or to see who passed down which chromosome chromosome chromosome, where are your regions in your DNA? With the chromosome painter you can see for yourself we've painted your chromosomes chromosomes, the coloured bars below with the regions they're associated with. Select a region to see it highlighted. So Ireland, Ireland, my chromosome.

So parent one is one parent one parent two. So parent one is a lot a lot. I mean, blimey.

Parent one. So these are the choose or or choose or or I think they've messed up with the talk in there. But so 22 chromosomes, and there's 123456789 1011 1213 are Irish.

What? I'm confused. If I choose, if I choose Irish, or I just want Ireland, England, Germanic, Europe. Yeah, so that was only one pen.

Oh, only one parent. Parent two rather. I got you.

I got you. I got you. I got you.

Parent two, Irish, parent one. Definitely much more than parent and parent two was less Irish, but not by a huge amount, to be honest. Wow.

Maybe my granddad was Irish. Because thinking about it, my, it was my gran's parents that were Irish. So maybe my granddad on the other side, maybe his parents were Irish.

Going back, you know, ancestors, hundreds, thousands of years or something. Merit. Blimey, I don't understand.

I don't understand. Okay, journeys. So it's gonna tell me the journeys.

Find out where your ancestors lived in the recent past on each side of your family. Even if your parents haven't taken DNA tests, we can tell you which journeys you inherited from each parent. Okay.

So parent one is Dingle Peninsula, part of Munster Island, North Kerry and North Cork, part of Munster Island, and North West Kerry. Okay, journeys you inherited only from your parent one side, parent two side. Wow.

Part of Munster Island, Southwest, Kent and East Sussex, and then East and Essex, East and South East England. This is weird. Because according to this, the journeys go from Northwest Kerry, North Kerry and North Cork to Dingle Peninsula Peninsula in parts of Ireland, part of Munster Island.

That's the journeys my parent, my first parent thinks is all Irish. But the other parent, part of Munster, Southwest Munster in Ireland, then Kent and Essex, East Sussex, and East and South East England. Now my mom was born in Kent.

So does that mean my parent, my dad, and then she moved to East and South East London in London. Does that mean that I might have a different dad than he was Irish, which is why my Irish is so high. Can you imagine a 54 going out to my dad? He's like 79.

Daddy. Is there any chance I can have a little chat with you? I did a DNA test online. And I'm beginning to wonder that maybe we're not actually as related as we thought we was.

Did you have any friends from Ireland visit you about 54 years ago? Blimey. Apparently I did used to have a an Irish milkman. How weird would that be? That did actually happen to a friend of mine.

I found out when he was in his late 20s, early 30s, probably that he his dad wasn't his dad. And he spent years trying to get his dad to he wanted to be like his dad. But it was nothing like his dad.

It's just nothing. He was like his mom, but it was nothing like his dad. They wanted to be like his dad and his dad never seemed to really.

I never really got on very well. And then he found out that you know, they weren't related. I'm never related in the sense of his sisters were still got the same mother and that but it's weird because his sister looked very much like him as well.

Not just the boobs, but you know, to facially look quite similar. Journeys, both sides, Munster Island. So that's what shared.

So from both sides of my family, both parents originate from Munster Island. I didn't know there was a place called Munster in Ireland. Amongst other is actually the real place, cradled by mountains and covered by a patchwork of inhospitable bogs.

Munster was the perfect hiding place for rebels and outlaws who sought refuge from British authority. I used to be a rebel. During the Great Famine, many Munster inhabitants fled their homes to escape poverty and starvation.

With one of the highest and most consistent emigration levels in Europe. Hundreds of thousands left the shores of Ireland for Victoria in Southern Australia, or the United States, where they settled in New York, Boston, or other centers across American Midwest. And of course, came to England as well.

Hence me, my family being here. So find out where your ancestors lived in the recent past on each side of your family, even if you haven't. Okay.

I think it's quite interesting. Unassigned, no journeys, unassigned. So parent two is obviously my mum because she was born in Kent.

So she's got Kent, East Sussex there as part of her journey, South West Munster, and then Kent, East Sussex. So don't know how long her family will live in there. And then Southeastern London, Eastern South East England, which is she lived in London.

And then my dad's North West Kerry, Northern Kerry and North Cork and then Dingle Peninsula. It says all Ireland, all part of Munster. Wow.

So matches, what matches have I got? What's my matches? More custom match groups. With your subscription, you can now create up to 64 custom groups, giving you more than double the number of groups to play with. Got it.

So private link tree, unlinked tree, Irene. I don't even know anyone called Irene, don't know anyone called just, just Peter, just Pete. Do you reckon his name's just Pete? I mean, not just Pete, but do you think his name's actually just Pete? And I mean, you know what I mean? Not just Pete, but do you think it's just Pete? It could be Justin, but I think it's just Pete.

But not, you know what I mean? Pete, just Pete, instead of just Pete. That tickled me inside saying all that. I don't know why.

Very sad. Paul, Dylan, Rachel, Platt, Jane. This is going to take a lot of working through to figure this out.

So I'm going back to the summary. Munster Island, East and South England. So the Munster Island, that would be my aunt, my dad's thing.

Eastern, South East England must be my mum's because that's where she was born there. My dad was born in London, but possibly her, her parents were born there as well. Matches.

So Denise Phillips, Irene Staddon, just Pete Seven. They're the closest matches I've got. So if you're out there listening to this, well, nothing, I don't know.

DNA by parent. See what you inherited from each parent, even if you haven't taken DNA tests. Match, find potential ancestors with through lines.

Compare information in your matches tree. Discover how your genesis inferred. Okay, well, I've already done that.

Do more with your DNA. Give ancestry DNA. Which parent is which? If you know, it's gotta be, isn't it? If Southeast, like Kent, I know that my mum wasn't Milton Keynes, it was in Kent, she was born.

Compare your DNA. So see how similar or different you are compared regions. Okay, so just Pete.

Just Pete, let's see what his DNA 48%. Just Pete. Ah, so Irene Staddon and just Pete, neither of them were Ireland, like me, it's my 48% Ireland.

But England and Northwest Europe. Irene is 77%. Just Pete is or just Pete is 59.

And it says j u. So I don't know what or maybe is maybe his name is actually just Pete Underwood or something. I'm 44%. Germanic Europe, I'm only 4%.

But Irene is 15% 31% for just Pete. Scotland, I'm 3%. The others aren't nothing.

Norway, I wish I was Norway. But I'm not. Maritime South, Southern Asia, I'm 1%.

Just Pete for 2% Sweden for just Pete. So yeah, blimey. It's weird.

I'm not very I don't spread out a lot, do I? I mean, I know England and Northwest Europe is obviously this desert is an area, isn't it? It's the heart of our England and Northwestern Europe region, often presented as one group of invaders from one other place, to Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans. So I'm part of that that group. Which would probably be my mum's side, I suppose.

But 48% Ireland. I can't wait to tell my dad. But how do I broach the subject of him doing a pregnancy test for us? Dad? I don't know.

How? How? Oh, look at this. Ancestral journeys for me. If you go back Southwest Munster, Northwest Kerry, North Kerry and North Cook, Dingle Pensula, Munster Island, Kent and East Sussex, South East and South East England.

Right, that's weird, because I was born in London, which is South East England. I suppose yes, I suppose so all the way up to there, I was Irish. And then when I arrived in, this is a little bit confusing.

So there's no, but then Just Pete says Kent, I was Kent and East Sussex. So, but they all shared that. Kent and East Sussex, me, Just Pete, or Just Pete, and Irene are all in Kent and East Sussex.

Dorset, no, so I'm not in any of the others. Wow. Regions.

Oh, well, I think this has been quite interesting for me. I tell you, it's weird, though. They've connected us with the traits, all traits.

And we've matched on. Right. One trait in common, one trait in common.

So Irene's got one trait in common with me, and Just Pete, or Just Pete has got one, one trait in common with me, which is, what is it? Likely to be naturally stronger. That's the only thing we've got in common. Likely to be a morning person.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait a minute. Oh, go away.

Stop it. My computer's playing up. Likely, likely to be.

What is it then? Traits, one in common with you. My results. So which one is it? Oh, normal heart rate recovery.

That's the one. Normal heart rate recovery. Oh, brilliant.

How exciting. All right. Well, I do believe that is kind of the whole thing.

I have to look into a little bit. So the end result is I'm 48% Irish, 44% England and Northwestern Europe, 4% Germanic Europe, 3% Scotland, and 1% Maritime South East Asia. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for listening. I don't know if there's any benefit to any of this, but it's interesting to me. So yeah.

So I'm going to go. Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy.

Be gentle with yourself. Lots of love. Bye.
