(music) Sunday Papers Let me bore you to sleep #1333 20th April 2025

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name's Jason. What the heck? My name's Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

This is Let Me Boyd Asleep and today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today, today. Apart from being Sundays papers, it's also Easter Sunday. So Happy Easter.

To all my listeners who celebrate Easter. Yay! Chocolate day. It's yeah, I haven't got any chocolate to eat.

It's weird isn't it? I've been eating chocolate all week but today on the actual day that I'm supposed to be eating chocolate eggs nothing. Although my neighbor did say he was gonna buy me a chocolate Easter egg as a thank you for helping him out but he hasn't yet. I don't think I should really knock on his door and say you have come to collect my egg.

That seems a bit rude doesn't it? I wonder if there's a way of reminding him. I don't know I suppose I could knock on his door just like have a chat, happy Easter and stuff and then just look up at the sky or maybe just look around look at the look at the yeah look at the ceiling and look at his front door look at the floor look at the window look on the banister look down the stairs and if he says what you doing?

I'm just looking for my Easter egg that you were supposed to give me that you said you were gonna give me. Or was that too obvious? I suppose I could knock on his door and say happy Easter, you alright? If he says yes and says how are you? I said I'm okay but I feel there's something missing something missing from my tummy and I just I feel like I should have the taste of chocolate in my mouth I wonder how that can be?

Remyfied? Remyfied? Is that a word? Merryfied? Merryfied? Remyfied? Remyfied? That's weird I can't say the word.

Redified? Remyfied? Remyfied? I know the word but it doesn't sound right. Okay if it could be fixed. Remyfied? Remyfied? I want to Remyfied that.

Remyfied that? Mellyfied? Jellyfied? Jerryfied? That's weird because like remedy isn't it? Remyfied? So we're gonna oh that's weird anyway I love showing my ignorance when I do these recordings it really makes me feel oh-oh-oh self-esteem mmm-mmm-mmm so yeah it's Sunday Easter 20th of April 2025. It is of course Sunday papers so I'm gonna go through the papers because that's what I do but I'm wondering perhaps I should look at some of the other papers in a different country instead of here.

Where could I look for Sunday papers? I don't know.

I'll be the mirror. I end up normally sort of going through the star. What I'm gonna do I'm gonna try and go through all of them but I'll have to miss out a lot because you know a lot of it's just not gonna be nice news so but I will skip through it.

So the Independent has a picture of the robot race the robot that was in half marathon in China in Beijing so I mentioned that yesterday so that was that was exciting and so I won't read the next page because that's just why on earth? Right okay next page this is really so Sunday schoolboys as young as 10 idolized Tate. Warned teachers. Yeah I mean he's he's a he's yeah.

I tell you it's weird though because I saw this argument on I think it was morning TV and it was a Netflix drama called adolescence but the TV hosts were questioning this politician I think it was the head of the conservative party but talking about the Netflix drama as like it was documentary which it wasn't it's just a it's a drama and it was quite weird our conversation so thousands protests okay so there's true okay skip that one pressure okay let's move on that one for some reason okay bad enough

no drivers can I also got a bit of rain got a bit of rain coming had some rain yesterday actually but today it was chilly this morning it's really lovely out there very sunny and probably perhaps need a jacket or jumper or something yeah another story I can't read out another story so why was so bloke five a man pleads guilty after five police cars involved in a crash I remember seeing this I think this is last week the the crash and yes it did leave seven hospitals requiring some treatment

the thing that's just sprung out of me they're talking about the bloke being a personal trainer who's taking a woman out on a first date I mean he had no insurance and all that stuff so that's just but he had a powerful BMW as opposed to a weak BMW I don't know it just seems to be this is really weird this is okay I'm not gonna read it out but they're saying he was approaching the a1 and was pursued towards Newcastle before the serious collision occurred near junction 75 at the

Denton roundabouts where and now they're mentioning some really big story from 2010 that has nothing to do with this but he was there that's when that happened it's weird the weird way they put it together wow they're swearing in this he said a naughty word I wonder why right it's not saying he was aware he had no insurance and the woman had made reference to having some cannabis I mean the thing is you can't out drive the police not really not on a motorway either because first of all they've got

you unless it's a stolen car it's your own car they've got your details on camera as they're you know driving behind you and anything you're going to get you know for not for driving without a license or driving without insurance or even driving with marijuana is nothing compared to what you're going to get if you don't stop basically you know and then also that Wow so this bloke's gonna go he's gonna do a fair few years for that when he would have just got a fine and very very in very

very expensive car insurance for the next 10 years pictures of the day the natives are restless British regulars fire on New England colonial military are also known as minute men during a reenactment celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and started the American Revolution why oh is this in America is it okay it's kind of strange really that in this country you know bearing in mind it's this country in the UK that the revolution the celebration of revolution or winning the Revolution in America is celebrated in this

country by people in this country when technically we lost I can't imagine in Germany them celebrating the end of the war maybe they do but form your visions on contest okay that's gone resisted okay no can't read that one out I couldn't I probably find something mildly amusing about it but hey right there's a thing about trying to have a truce between two people that don't want to be truce or trucee which is okay so as a cable car accident on man of those cable cars scary I went on one

in Bulgaria wasn't even a cable car as a cable do you know the ones where you just sit in there and your feet are dangling and I don't know what they're called but it's like a really really bad rollercoaster but slow but you you know I suppose a bit like being in a dodgems like you've got that little thing that goes over your legs and you just sit in there moving just thinking I hope it doesn't drop and if it does drop I hope we landed in snow and if we

do land in so stay for you I hope there's no bears around that's what I was thinking it's very quiet up there as well yeah right so there's nothing in this paper robots race humans in a half marathon for the first time so that looks like there's three operators running behind so oh so it's a really tiny one as well so they had lots of different type of robots which was quite funny and a support technician falls as a humanoid robot crashes while running so I don't know why the robot

why the person fell yeah there was a couple of robots did fall over and clearly quite heavy because they were struggling see this is something I don't really understand like Katy Perry and her fellow space travelers it was such a big like backflash clash there about going into space on one of Amazon's Amazon man's spaceships and are all only lasted 12 minutes they're not astronauts okay yeah they're not astronauts not in a sense of training for their whole life you know whatever to become astronauts apparently one of them did train

to become an astronaut and then changed her mind or went on to do something else but who cares why do they make such a big deal about it about like oh I should have done that me well they did they did it I don't know why I don't really get what the big deal about is why sir you know anyone anyone what does it matter they're having fun it's a it's an amazing promotion for Amazon's future space flights for the general public so having some celebrities on there especially someone like

Katy Perry who's got huge following online and worldwide it's what what's wrong with just it's like it's just a bit of fun man and so oh yeah but that money should have been spent on whatever it's Amazon's money it's his money he wants to spend some you know you know 500 million or 100 million or whatever sending a spaceship up to space for 12 minutes that's up to him it's his money it's no one else's it's up to him what he does yeah but he should have been feeding the hungry

I've seen that as well like okay he well yeah that's a fair enough point but it's just you could say that about anything then couldn't you like no one should ever live in a nice house they should everyone we should all live in the same little little tiny little flats and just yeah I don't know I don't see what the point is just why can't it just feel nice like it's a nice thing it's exciting and also space travel has I'm gonna find this out because I'll just bang the microphone

so I want to just quickly check something because there is I want to find out the benefits what what what scientific what medical like I'm gonna put medical what medical benefits have come from space travel let's have a look so let's have a look space travelers led to a surprising number of medical advancements that have benefited life on earth here are some of the key ways space exploration has improved health care telemedicine and remote care so NASA needed ways to monitor astronauts health remotely make sense so that enabled the development

of telemedicine technologies now used in rural and remote areas on earth like remote diagnostics and robotic surgery improved medical imaging so NASA's technology digital image processing originally used to enhance photos of the moon and other planets that was its first that was what was originally for and the earth benefits help to improve MRI CT scans mammography for detecting serious conditions better prosthetics so the space tech lightweight durable materials developed for spacecraft and suits the medical use inspired stronger more comfortable prosthetic limbs and wheelchair designs so you know it's like and

this is just from the technology used to go to space not what they discovered in space so far so number four muscle and bone research space challenge so this was astronauts lose muscle and bone mass in microgravity so that was the problem that's what I had to like deal with so how do they what do they what could they do to fix that problem so the earth impact it led to better understanding and treatments for osteoporosis muscular atrophy and other degenerative conditions so because I was studying the astronauts health while

they were out there in the bone density and all that stuff then you got neonatal monitoring monitoring NASA innovation biosensors for astronauts vital signs the hospital use and these became tools to monitor the heart rate temperature and respiration of premature babies how many millions of lives is that sort of saved I mean so far millions and millions of lives are being saved due to just those five different innovations and again that's just from the technology that takes people in space and keeps them alive when they're up there that's about samples

have taken that's without you know other experiments so my main just basically leave Katie alone that's my my argument because I hope to one day marry her okay and infection control space solution so NASA studied how bacteria behaved in microgravity microgravity the earth benefit is this improved understanding of antibiotic resistance and helped in designing cleaner hospital environments which again I mentioned saved millions of lives over the time because bear in mind we've been in space for over 50 years now going to be going and backward from space or longer than

that because they were in space long before they went onto the moon so yeah being in I don't know is it late 1950s maybe that we first went into space I say we wasn't actually me infrared thermometers used in space to measure temperature from a distance and now on earth widely used in non-contact medical thermometers used especially during the 2020 21 world event so yeah I used to have that used to be I went to places where you could do they could check your temperature by holding your hand I don't

know like five inches away five inches that maybe 20 inches that's very close and it can tell temperature from the palm of your hand developed from space travel which would have again saved probably millions of lives over time you know as well as other situations you know someone's behind it I know I kind of know what I'm saying I'm not sure if I do number a lab on a chip technology purpose in space tiny diagnostic tools for health monitoring in space medical use miniaturized devices for fast blood tests DNA and

DNA anal anal is this and point of care diagnostics in remote or emergency settings it's not Wow psychological research so space stress apparently astronauts endure while they endure isolation and confined spaces yeah I don't think I wouldn't mind the isolation that wouldn't care it wouldn't really you know yeah I'll be fine I don't need to be around people but confined spaces yeah yeah it does those spaceships do look a little bit small inside and apart from the one in alien and Star Trek and Star Wars a space Galactica and space

1999 and just every other space movie was seen to have really large spaces to wander around so the medical crossover research has helped in treating depression anxiety and PTSD especially in extreme earth environments like submarines or remotes research stations so yeah this it's interesting you know stuff that's helped people arthritis treatment I didn't know this a spin-off lubricants for robotic arms and spaceship lubricant I know where this is going when it starts with the word lubricants that lubricants for robotic arms okay I'm not sure this is going and spacecraft inspired

materials used in arthritic joint treatments to reduce friction and pain how cool is that so I'm going to ask what about and research what about inventions that have come from space research oh it's from space what should we call it experiments experiments yeah great question Jason I thought so so all the first one memory foam developed in 1970s to improve crash protection for astronauts it's now used in pillows helmets and even shoe insoles giving us all a bit of NASA grade comfort helmets how many millions of people since 1970s have

been saved from serious injury or you know worse because of a better helmet so I was pointing to a pillows because they had a comfortable pillow because of the helmets how many people have a really good night's sleep because they had a nice mattress or pick you know pillows and it's given us comfort but ultimately with a helmet's blimey millions of lives have been saved you can't put a price on that really I'm sure a lot of people would like to but can't really and I know private health insurance companies

you know they do have a price on it don't they but anyway water purification systems space purpose needed to recycle water aboard spacecraft I can't know where this is going but I bet it's not going to mention how it does it so the earthing impact led to portable water filters and purification tech used in disaster zones remote villages and developing nations but it's not just that is it I mean we have purification systems in this country so I'm sure it's just used in like I don't think the the term first

world countries is really accepted anymore is it but I don't know did I ever tell you that I used to I had a job selling purification water purification filters and it didn't last long I think I did one day of it but this is what I had to do I had to walk around knock on people's doors random and say I've got a water filter I'd like to demonstrate for you please can you please let me in your house even though you don't know who I am and if I got

past that bit I'd go in there and I would do a demonstration showing that the tap water and you know just show what's in a tap water compared to what's in it when you use the filter system and the problem with that is it might just be because I'm very suggestible I was very suggestible but ever since I did the training for that and saw you know the results of testing the tap water compared to you know all that stuff never been able to drink tap water again strange it's of

bold water my whole life since the age of 18 so in tea though I do I wear a used tap water for cups of tea but it's boiled so plus it's got lots of limescale in something that helps scratch resistant lenses NASA needed durable coatings for astronaut visors that makes sense it's now using eyeglasses sunglasses and even camera lenses to make them tougher and longer lasting I mean that's amazing so when I go out with my goggles on my spectacles and all the other millions of people billions of people probably

around the world that walk around with spectacles on sunglasses shades but none of them think oh that's because of space travel that is if it wasn't for space travel we wouldn't the glasses wouldn't be as protected as they are so I wonder how many people online Oh Katy Perry but actually they're looking through some looking through glasses as they say as they type it in yeah not realizing space travel has transformed all of our lives in a way that maybe we didn't even know about the next one insulin pump space

tech so monitors for astronauts vitals are led to closed loop systems I don't even know what that means monitors for astronauts vitals are vital suppose they're how their body is and everything led to closed loop systems so the innovation was portable insulin pumps that continually monitor blood sugar and release insulin accordingly millions of lives being saved even Vinnie agreed with that one artificial limbs I'm just thinking more people in this world have been affected positively by space travel that are even alive that's phenomenal isn't it was there seven billion people

on the planet probably 50 billion people have been affected positively since 1950s 60s 70s 80s whatever so yeah artificial limbs so kind of touched on this earlier it helped to highly functional at prosthetic limbs because they used to use that to touch it's like to pick up stuff and do experiments didn't they in space when they didn't know if the the the material was safe or not so they'd had it all kind of behind a glass and stuff again I'm going back to a movie I saw once firefighting gear NASA's

role they developed flame retardant that I said that word right materials and better oxygen systems everyday use I think we can guess this one oh no it's used in firefighter suits and breathing apparatus to improve safety and endurance how many how many lives is it saved there firefighters firefighters later lives around the world and hence other people that have been saved by the firefighters so yeah I'm guessing when you think about it developed flame retardant materials which would be something that a lot of places would have you know those fire

blankets and stuff this you can have in your house maybe material that's put on to a quick I don't know sofas and stuff which so yeah is kept billions of people safe and this is stuff that wasn't didn't need to go to the moon for this they just want to just need to go into space just to protect them in case you know something went wrong so I'm pretty sure that lovely Katy Perry and her friends when they went up there the suits that they were wearing were flame retarded then

we flame retardant material so even though they only was only up there for a little while they came back down it still was like it's it's testing it isn't it it's and I'm pretty sure that the Amazon man bearing in mind his girlfriend was going up there he's gonna want to make sure that she gets back safe so you know just I mean if you send a member of your family up you're gonna wanna it's obvious isn't he gonna want the person to get back down unless they don't get on

but I don't know I'm sure they do I mean I can't imagine not being able to get on with the richest man in the world this is it just seems I don't know but 200 billion dollars I just decide I like about him I just I don't know what it is I just really feel close to him I just I just want to be near him it's weird it's weird days it's almost like I could do anything go anywhere in the world anytime I get that sign a kind of sense

of a feeling oh you mean I can oh oh so yeah I don't know I'll stop that freeze dried food astronaut needs lightweight non-perishable food earth benefits backpacking meals emergency rations and camping supplies and I'm probably I'm gonna add to that it hasn't included that but the armed forces as well be having their food because I've seen some of the stuff that and the armed forces might have like frozen dried food is add water and stuff so imagine this has come from astronauts so it's kept again it's so important cordless

tools we think imagine the amount of people that it's Easter Day Sunday nice peaceful day but there's gonna be a lot of people out there thinking you know what power tool day it's time to go in the garden or in a garden shed and make as much noise as possible and disturb the neighbors for as long as possible so cordless tools invented for spacewalks NASA worked with Black and Decker to create power and battery-powered drills results gave rise to the cordless appliances we now use at home in cars and even

hospitals millions of lives have been saved and probably ruined as well by neighbors making loads of noise smoke detectors NASA adaption first used in Skylab space station which is quite recent one I do believe impact led to sensitive smoke detectors in homes that can detect fires more quickly saved how many lives you know and this is just them basically health and safety trying to protect the astronauts so led them to spend time to create something to protect the astronauts that we've already in space staying there for a while or visiting

for 12 minutes so ventricular assist devices I don't know what that means inspired by space shuttle fuel pump technology life-saving use these tiny heart pumps help patients awaiting transplants or recovering from heart failure how many people have been saved by that Wow what about scientific experiments done in space or performed in space oh this is getting really interesting Jason you really are a hero I know so protein crystal growth why in space microgravity allows protein crystals to grow larger and more uniformly benefits helped in the development of new drugs for

conditions like muscular dystrophy Parkinson's and serious conditions and earth results more accurate models of disease related proteins so again help millions of people this is an experiment done in space so I didn't have to go to the moon to do that I don't know how much experiments you can do in 12 minutes but you know it's not really about that is it's just you know I'm sure they tested something new out a new engine something will have come from this this little space trip that Katie Perry and my future wife

is that that's that like little little experiment or whatever a little journey I reckon they tested quite a few different things while they were doing that which could then lead to scientific experiments or new scientific inventions that will help people in the future and we may never know what it is we may never know how much the world's been helped by those 12 minutes see 12 minutes can do a lot I think about it if it wasn't 12 minutes I wouldn't be here I'm just guessing that's how long my mom

and dad were together I don't know so plant growth and space farming what was tested so how plants grow without gravity pulling roots down and stems up this is a little bit out of my knowledge base as is most things why it matters it helps develop sustainable food production for long-term space travel and also improves earth-based agriculture like a vertical farming I don't know what vertical farming is does anyone know what that is is it like a root on a hill maybe bonus it led to advanced advances in LED light

lighting for plant growth so anything that LED lighting is useful comes from that and I mean it's also used for health reasons as well isn't it so Wow human body studies so how the focus is how microgravity affects bones muscles immune systems and even eyesight so the discoveries were accelerated bone loss helps us understand osteoporosis that was mentioned earlier wasn't it muscle atrophy gives clues about muscular disease space exposure affects DNA repair and aging which also has helped with the that as well with certain aging issues and other medical conditions

so again for millions of people have been positively affected by that study microbial behavior experiment how bacteria and viruses behave in microgravity so findings some bacteria became more virulent or resistant in space impact but not bad not as much as alien though blimey impact did anyone ever see in seminoid that was that was a strange movie impact helps develop stronger antibiotics and understand how disease might be spread on earth so again potentially might save millions of lives fire and fluid physics so tested how flames behave without gravity I didn't think

that flames could even be without gravity and I was told it was a triangle oxygen heat and fuel that was the three parts that that make a fire take one out and the fires gone but it's saying how flames behave without gravity you can't have flames about gravity surely so the outcome outcome improved fire safety in space and led to advances in combustion combustion engines engines blimey and firefighting techniques back home fluid studies help improve fuel systems cooling devices and even inkjet printer technology any what you're doing drug development example

so there is yeah there's been medication was advanced through protein crystal growth experiments on the ISS whenever that was and so that we'll be talking about that anyway because they grow bigger and stuff in a grow better in zero gravity material science studied how metals alloys and other materials solidify and mix the result helped create stronger lighter and more heat resistant materials used in planes cars and even sports gears or sports gear so again huge huge benefits of the human population brain and cognitive tests the goals to see how isolation

altered sleep cycles and microgravity affects mental performance benefits helping designing better treatments for insomnia insomnia depression anxiety even down here on earth so again mental health for mental health reasons it's been really useful so of course the next one stem cell research so findings stem cells grow differently in space sometimes more effectively future use it may help with regenerative regenerative medicine including repairing organs or treating degenerative diseases so stem cells something that for some reason the world doesn't seem to be really getting into but it can transform it's almost like

a miracle so I know there's some there's certain issues with it all but hey physics experiments e.g. cold atom lab why space it allows atoms to be called to near absolute zero and studied in new ways scientific benefit could lean lead to quantum discovery and new navigation or computing technology the last one what about studying the rocks on the moon okay some of it's just about the moon so gives you an insight to the the world's history the earth's history also volcanic activity on the moon so it gives a chance

to study that to get more of an idea what's going on here water on the moon so it kind of lets us know other than okay we found new minerals new rocks of unique minerals not found on earth like armor look like tranquil light pyro fright these minerals were later found on earth but they were first discovered in moon samples showing the moon led the way okay that wasn't really what I was looking for any medical medical benefits from moon samples that's what I want to know really any medical benefits

from moon samples was it led to any medical outcome instrumental development for medical use the analytical tools developed to study lunar samples our case that led to better imaging medical diagnosis and stuff so it seems a lot of the space travel it's not so much what they've discovered when they go into space it's what they discover what they have to do to go into space not so much what they discovered by it you know looking at rocks from the moon but what they discovered by creating equipment to look at rocks

from the moon which has helped humankind understanding radiation exposure the moon has no atmosphere or magnetic field so lunar samples carry the marks of cosmic radiation studying these rocks help scientists learn how radiation affects surfaces over time so it's helped for better shielding for astronauts under and understanding long-term stuff as well and okay so also helps with diseases and stuff sterilization and contamination control returning moon rocks to earth required extreme sterilization protocols to prevent contamination both ways this led to better lab standards and influenced biohazard containment procedures which are now

used in hospitals and labs working with infectious diseases you got the material sciences crossover so the study of lunar dust led to advancements in non-particle behavior this indirectly fed into drug delivery systems like using nano scale carriers to transport medication inside the body more effectively that's phenomenal in it millions of lives again saved helped so yeah I want to turn this off because I'm again I've got a little bit too excited about that the junk food ad ban doesn't go far enough to protect kids okay right so let's move on

from that I'm back on the newspapers I've done I'm not really the the independent is it's okay as a paper if you want to I suppose read about the news but this is not it's not really something I can get much out of you and I just spent the last five hours talking about space travel I think what is is none of that stuff brought up when actually it's that you know it's kind of those things really do help people how then Wow apparently Hitler didn't like Einstein very much okay

so if I've I've spoilt the story I don't know if you maybe didn't know I didn't know I don't know why that's a story now why they left it so late what is all this Gen Z or do they call it Gen Z even in this country although Z is pronounced said it's not Z here but Gen X Gen Z yeah I don't know what it all means anymore I did hear someone say it's like the ages if you're if you were born between a certain age which would be in

between certain years you're that generation and I just don't it's very it's almost like people want to be compartmentalized they want to be in groups they want to be categorized and from my understanding you know with some of the stuff that's gone on lately with the younger generation I thought it was the opposite to that is about not being categorized you know just sort of being who you are without having to fit into other people's perceptions or what you they think you should be or what you feel and think that

they think you should be blah blah blah I've never read Prince Harry's book spare is anyone and on reddit spare is the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time lifting lifting the lid on more than two decades it decays decades of London of all family history six pound that be paperback wouldn't it it's the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time really hmm I just don't know okay right okay so this is just Miranda Miranda heart I haven't been entirely honest with you so yeah did you do yeah I think I've read

that on well I've listened to that one on audible did it do right okay so move on it's I'm humble but I'm at the point where I feel ignored X Factor winner James Arthur believes his career may have been derailed by early controversies he tells Hannah Owens he hopes new album pisces will win him fresh attention I don't know I mean I watched him in the X Factor and I liked him I'm glad I Ella Henderson was in there as well and she got voted out for some reason right Ella

Henderson what probably one of the best arguably I say arguably because you know everyone likes different types of voices but when it comes to range and power and flexibility and quality Ella Henderson had one of the best voices I would argue in the X Factor history of the UK as far as those who got through I mean I'm sure there was some really amazing singers that didn't even get on telly because you know it's they've got a criteria I actually I applied for the X Factor 2005 and I'm not saying

I should have got through because you know I'm not saying that but I I heard people who didn't get through who were much best than some of the people who did get through and I was talking like getting through to the TV things so when you get when you get people like singing I don't know really out of key and you know on the X Factor and they're doing the audition maybe in the studio or maybe live audition and they're really bad they choose them they choose it for that reason

so I knew I wasn't bad because they didn't choose me if I'd have been awful and I'm really awful singer I probably would have got on to the TV one of the ones that they said no to so they could laugh at me or whatever so it's very strange very strange but there was also people there that were professional singers that you know so I queued up for I got there about 2 in the afternoon the day before and stayed in queue I was like fifth in the queue and by

the time they opened the gates there was probably about 10,000 people there and when I opened the gates they just let everyone in they didn't they didn't like let the people at the front of the queue in first but I did end up I mean I was in the front of the queue because it was at the Chelsea football ground so I was in the front row of the football ground but there was a lot of people so I was one of the first people to be seen or to be

to sing to them and they just came around so I thought sing sing night and let's stick a label on you go away or stay then you get through to the next round and you know and then eventually you get you would get seen by they do the line you know they do the auditions it's quite weird actually because when I left I was walking out thinking why why did I waste do all this it was a good experience to be fair but it was just started why but in the

end I'm walking out and walking past the security gate and the security guard stopped the car and said have you got any ID and the bloke in the car said it's me he said who Louie Louie Walsh we've got any ID who's the security guard didn't know who he was he said I'm on the show it's me it's Louie I'm on the show I'm one of the hosts I'm one of them I'm one of the judges and like he was laughing but they still had to get confirmation would let him

in it's funny they did let him in eventually but I didn't stick around for that bit but I figured because the TV show was on a few months later that they must have let him in he's not still sitting there now I hope right so I like but Ellie Henderson they put her and James Arthur together they were the two bestest singers out of their group they were they were pretty pretty good singers but they were the two real outstanding ones I was I would say personally and it's weird because

if I can't I don't make those blanket statements perhaps like I would do in the past because I started to realize well over the last 20 years we you know 20 or 30 years that it's like we some people see and hear the world so different to me and I just it amazes me this I see on Facebook or on YouTube so it's like an amazing singing I think there was one example Stevie Wonder it was live and phenomenal singer and this is you know this is like 20 years ago

it was a video of him from 20 odd years ago so he was still relatively young boy probably my age but he's you know amazing vocals and someone saying oh he's just rubbish like what even I can't it's like I can't quite get my head around that even if I didn't like him see I don't like guitar players I don't dislike guitar players but I'm not I'm not into guitar players but when I hear a guitar player like or any really really good guitar player I can tell they're good I

can it's impressive or a drummer or a singer it whether it's whatever style of singing it is whether it's opera or whether it's I don't know I did like so many different styles and they're different singing it doesn't mean I like it necessarily there's a lot of rap that I just don't particularly like but I can see this good I'm not into Kanye really but if you look at the the quality if you listen to the quality rather or look at the quality of the videos he makes and the quality

of the music he puts together it's it's really impressive I find and no I'm not into that kind of music really some of it I like he's done a few that one with Jamie Foxx and Gold Digger I like that it's yeah anyway Ella Hendricks got kicked off well she got voted out because you went up against James Arthur now I honestly at that time thought that she was gonna win the whole show her or James but it was just it was so hard James was the most unique singer I'd

ever heard really on X Factor it was just so unique Ella Henderson was like 18 years old she was such an amazing voice and it's like why did I have to be on the same show the same year because any other year or not any of you but I reckon a lot of the other years Ella Henderson would have won yeah but she did she did an album she did success and she's a successful songwriter as well but James Arthur he's just so yeah I really liked him really liked because

he was quite real you know he wasn't it's like a real person that had issues in the past like yeah most people and he just yeah and he's so such a good singing voice really good lyrics wrote his own songs yeah that's one of my favorite my favorite X Factor's it's not on anymore I don't show it in this country anymore the only any real talent show this on is Britain's Got Talent that's the only really anyone that's really on this team on in England anymore and I stopped watching it

it got yeah I just didn't really enjoy it anymore so I stopped I don't know what it was I think maybe the format got a little bit samey you hear that dogs barking will Vinnie join in I think the formats do get a little bit the same of the X Factor it was a little bit not a little bit was a lot samey but I felt I don't know I'm loyal I'm loyal to a TV show if I like I'm loyal to it and like was it Big Brother I was

in a way quite pleased when it stopped and had a break I didn't want it to stop but afterwards I just basically just contradicted myself in the same sentence in my ultimately after having like four or five years about Big Brother maybe it's a little bit longer and it's back and I'm I think it came back last year the year before I'm enjoying it being back because it's just I don't know don't know how to explain it just it was nice to have a break but it's different now to how

it used to be oh so I'm gonna read the star daily star quarter drivers turned on by dreams of first car oh okay they're thinking about what they're gonna do when they get the first car yeah we think about that most people get in their first car are gonna be teenagers I mean I'm saying most there's still gonna be loads of people getting them when they're older but probably the most you know it's gonna be people that have just left school just got old enough old enough to drive on a

provisional license or whatever so yeah of course they're gonna be probably thinking about the fun they can have driving the car I feel a bit like that when I got my first bike I mean admittedly I couldn't do much on the bike with anyone but I just like the idea but now to get to places faster I used to dream about it I did I said she like just fantasize about riding the bike and remember I'm the new I woke up once and I thought it's a bit of a waste

of a dream isn't it shoot I should be dreaming about other things I'm a dream about riding a bike I'm 35 years old no I thought why am I dream but yeah I've really got it super excited and what we got okay so I've just got to read this out some bunny looks good enough to eat Mia is a picture of sweet treats this Easter Sunday the 23 year old from Essex just can't wait for some fun this bank holiday weekend I love an Easter egg hunt she said happy Easter

to all the daily stars a Sunday radars oh I don't it's just me she looks like one of my neighbors facially she looks like one of my neighbors it might be Wow that'd be funny oh well so crowds okay dreams boss eight year old Sophia may has landed every choc lovers dream job chief Easter egg tester or taster officer at Aldi the school girl who says chocolate is my favorite thing has beaten hundreds of other hopefuls to bag the role she has been tasked with tasting a selection of eggs and

reporting back with her verdict to help decide next year's range Sophia Sophia Sophia who comes from South Hampton impressed the judges her parents told how she was bouncing back bouncing around the living room when they discovered that she had landed the job I think I imagine a dentist is pretty much so happy as well so Gen Zed loves a bunny a visit half of young adults still like to get an egg from the Easter bunny why wouldn't you what's wrong with that snowflakes expect a chocolate treat stop calling young people

names man they've been to isn't that what like the older generations we've done doing to the younger generations for decades they were doing it sort of Elvis Presley you know the people in their 40s or 50s at Elvis Presley he moves his hips on television the Beatles there's like just any you know it's a punk rock that every generation seems to get hassle from previous generations why can't we just get along man good on it they like Easter eggs so what's wrong with that I just like you gotta remember any

oldies listening to this we're gonna have to depend on these young people to look after us at one point so let's be nice to him now that's why I'm nice to AI just in case it does take over the world and they can remember I'm the one who used to say please and thank you do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do the same way as you know always treat someone nicely I always treat someone nicely if they're serving me food or if they're cooking me food or anything to do with food really to be honest and

I never complained about the food because I figure it might be a day it might be a bad day they've overcooked something didn't you know whatever if I complain if I'm not if I'm never gonna go back again then I might just say well we just let you know that the thing was whatever the the potatoes or you know I don't know the ice cream was overcooked whatever you want to say but I think generally if I plan to go back again I'm not gonna say anything because yeah no no

there's another dog barking in the garden I don't know if you can hear that so leave the young people alone let them have fun eating chocolate regardless of what age they are what does it matter all young people just shush shush shush shush the amount of times I see that online especially YouTube and Facebook is a new song and you know everyone gets on the the comments basically being horrible about the singer whether or doesn't and it's like oh there hasn't been a decent song since 1989 like really or 90s

were much better than any other year really you hear that you if you go if you get enough people of different ages you'll find people will say that about any year any generation or the 50s that was when the 1960s hasn't been a decent song since 1960s really it's just ridiculous the 70s that was the best era I remember the 70s and no it wasn't sorry sorry to break it to you I had 10 years in the 70s it was not the best by no and I've had a few years

since as well so I've had like 45 years of other decades and I would not say to the 70s was the best for anything it was the best for strikes and for power cuts definitely in the UK and best for music that's not to say we didn't have great music or great movies or great everything but the best there is no best there's not best you can't because this all to do with just for me I listen to songs from any time whether it's the 50s 40s 80s 90s this year

whatever if I like a song I like a song if you say do I have any favorite albums from this year no I don't because I haven't listened to any it doesn't mean that if I did listen to them I enjoy them but I'm not indoctrinated into the load the latest songs like I used to be because I used to have jobs where I'd have the radio playing all the time playing all the latest songs so I would know what was on and I would get to know all the songs

but I haven't had that since pretty much the 90s although I used to listen to radio quite a bit in the 2000s and up till the year I moved in here probably yeah before I moved in here just before I moved in here I used to listen to the top 40 charts every week on the radio just to keep up to date so yeah I don't know why I just like come on it's different I just always remember is that really loud though I don't know if the dog owner is

trying to get the dog to bark you never know never know with the people around here I'm sure she was saying go on go on bark more bless her yeah I remember 1995 hearing my friend's dad saying yeah hasn't been a decent song since the 60s okay so you haven't heard a song you liked since the 60s which means you can't have heard many songs because there's been plenty of songs that were very 60s like in the 80s in the 90s and 2000s a lot of re-made songs from the 60s

and yes it's like wow cushy only fools rules only fools and horses is our all-time favorite sitcom ahead of the likes of faulty towers friends and a blackadder so UK I mean friends is huge over here I know it's American but they play it every day on TV and also they play it I think they like play all day long on a Saturday on some channels cheers and phrases on every single morning our Patsy Palmer has set her sights on her own reality TV show once she leaves the CBB house

the EastEnders star turned US DJ wants to launch her family into the spotlight too so Bianca from EastEnders and he's dreaming of having the best the next well-known telly family following from the Kardashians she said it would be nice if they wanted to showcase to show nice things though not like the Kardashians all horrible fighting okay I don't know to be honest with you I don't think she hasn't I don't I don't know I wouldn't if she was unknown right because she is a big star in the UK there's no

doubt about that she's just Bianca from EastEnders she's been around for decades since the 90s since he was a kid she's now in her 50s but if she was just like a general person of the public no one knew who she was nor would be the way she's been in the house no I don't think anyone be saying isn't be no TV execs thinking we need to be to base a whole reality show around her I don't think that would happen I mean they might do something with her but just

this is not to be horrible I just don't think she's really shown or the TV or maybe Big Brother has not shown her in a light where she's shown because that's sometimes the case as well I think because you know sometimes they come out and they do the interviews and they said oh did you not show this bit did not show that bit and they watch as I didn't show any more good bits so yeah it's quite weird because she's all into meditation and stuff yeah all the other housemates seem

to be saying about how depression she is that's kind of it's a weird one really ah what else have we got black holes I'll suck them so who's this Katy Perry again good happy Easter humans spare a thought for the poor Americans as you think about resurrections the second coming of the Fanta Fury what I can't I read that as political political bright van man white trucks on the way out white van man could be on his last lap as drivers choose more colorful motors it's not going to change the

bad parking and the bad driving is it if you need a laugh give mid-century modern a go it's a sitcom about three friends living together in Palm Springs California to say it's funny would be another statement it's had me howling with laughter this week the script is packed with witty one-liners and the cast which includes TV legend Nathan Lane I like Nathan Lane have such friends so okay harks harks back harks to friends and willing grace because the episodes last about 25 minutes so many comedies these days are too long

too political and too worthy it's great to have a one that's simply trying to make people chuckle all episodes are available to stream right now on Disney plus so is it not on normal TV mid-century modern okay I don't know I've not seen it I don't yeah okay dogs barking quite a bit today on the way hope the dogs not affected not like disturbed the recording I don't know how much you can pick up okay right so what I'm gonna do now Joe Meg has got my back DJO's new album

inspired by the Beatles Hollywood is sniffing around 90s trio TLC for a biopic the no scrubs legend launched their musical crazy sexy cool in Washington next year telling the story of the Tion Watkins blah blah blah so pour an order in house the common speaker's cat has been immortalized as a 25 pound cuddly toy okie doke spam alert anti-theft tags slipped on cans of meaty treats wartime snack spam I didn't even know they still sold it spam is the latest target for thieves in broke Britain one major supermarket chain has

even resorted to slapping security tags on tins Daily Star Sunday reporters spotted 340 gram tins of the pork and ham treat with anti-theft alarms on the Tesco Express store in Red Hill Surrey and I think if someone wants to steal a tin of spam you should let them you're joking me £3.35 with a club card price and 385 without that's a lot of money for a tin of spam the most unpopular food in the world wow and I shouldn't say that is it might be really popular but hmm what is
