Hello and welcome to Vinnie slurping his drink. Must be boring drinking water all the time and I do drink water most of the time myself. So that was a pretty stupid statement really wasn't it? I do drink water majority of the time but I do also have probably one, two, three to four cups of tea a day, normally four cups of tea and the rest is water.
And I suppose whatever milk goes into the breakfast cereal so that's like a pint a day probably, I don't know. How big is your bowl? Never you mind. So hello, welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland.
This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep and please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Um yeah, that's it really. Well it's Black Friday apparently which means there's lots of people trying to sell stuff online.
It's also, it's not Friday though is it? It's Thursday but it is also Thanksgiving day so happy Thanksgiving to my American listeners. And thank you for listening if you're listening. Now I realize you might not listen today because you're busy being thankful and eating turkey.
Is it turkey you have? We have turkey at Christmas here. I mean it's not the law you know but generally it's kind of traditional. I never really understood Thanksgiving when I when I was a kid because I'd see it on, I didn't understand really what it was.
I mean there's a clue in the name isn't there really but I would see it on sitcoms and they've been sitting down to Thanksgiving and then they'd be sitting down three weeks later for Christmas and I'd be thinking well it's the same. It's the same setup. It's the same food kind of you know people sitting around family members or whatever.
And so it did confuse me. It didn't take much to confuse me. I can't even tell you how many times I turn up to school on a Saturday.
Honestly I remember that the caretaker was there once one time and he said he said it's a Saturday. He said you can't come in here and I thought I remember after after I kind of done it a few times I said is it because it's Saturday and he said no it's because you're 33. And of course how would he know exactly what age I was.
He was my next door neighbor. He was my brother. He was my dad.
He was my mum. He who knows it was a made-up story but I did turn up for school on a day when it wasn't open and I ran and that's probably the only time I ever ran to school ever and there was a pond inside my underpants by the time I got there. I mean literally there were there were goldfish swimming in them because I sweated so much.
I remember I dated this nurse and then I stopped dating her for whatever reason and I met up with her by accident on the beach and she was jogging and it was a really hot summer's day. I'm adding probably more to the story. I don't know if it was a hot summer's day but I think it possibly was and we were very cordial.
She said hello. I said hello. It was awkward.
You know it's one of the moments where we saw each other too late to hide. Kind of if I'd have seen her in time probably would have hidden under one of the benches or behind one of the what do they call them the little huts beach hut things. I think they call beach huts.
Okay but it was too late. She probably would have dug and made a hole in the sand or something. So just standing there and this was like 20 years ago standing there talking.
It's very kind of asking how each other were doing without really requiring the answer. You know just one of those situations and I said how long you been jogging for? She said oh on and off since I was about 18. I said I don't know I mean now because she was I think he's 41 at the time.
I said I mean now like in this period. She said what do you mean this year? I said no I mean right now. She said I'm not jogging anymore I'm stopped.
I thought oh god this reminds me why we split. I mean how pedantic it's like come on. I'm worse than that aren't I really? Anyway I said to her how long you've been running for today like this period of your life? She said oh I normally do about half an hour running.
I said well are you near the end or the beginning of your journey? I was trying to get an idea just for the next question because it seemed like it was more I don't know just seemed like it'd be better to get more information before I delved into the next part of the conversation. She said oh I've been running for about 20 minutes and I said why come you're not all sweaty then?
I know how to flatter a girl and she said what are you talking about? I said well you're jogging it's in the summer how come you're not sweating?
Absolutely dry and she said because I'm healthy and healthy people don't sweat bye and she ran off and I thought to myself now I said a lot of dumb things constantly I mean every day I say dumb things but usually I don't mean it you know I don't actually believe the dumbness that I say I'm usually just for effect and quite often I will actually tear myself apart while I'm saying it and I'll bring in the opposite view you know you may have noticed it's not by accident and if I
say something really silly then I'll kind of like I'll challenge it but I think she really meant it the fact is I was sweating and I wasn't I wasn't even running and I thought that can't be true it sounds like a lie and it is a lie the idea of anyone that sweats is unhealthy anyone that runs and sweats someone running for 20 minutes or jogging for 20 minutes and sweats which I'm pretty sure is getting on to 100% of the population of the world would probably sweat if they ran
for 20 minutes maybe not someone that's lived in a really hot climate and have come here and maybe jogging in this climate and it's cold to them maybe they won't sweat if they run for 20 minutes potentially I don't know it seemed like just like one of those weird things to hear not just from a human but from a medically trained human an actual nurse someone with medical knowledge knowledge and you may think well why don't you just let it go Jay you know it's been 20 years it's probably about
21 years actually but it's no no it's been like 20 19 years 20 years 19 dated her 2005 very briefly wonder how that relationship ended I can't remember I remember we I met her on a retreat and then we went out and so I was about 34 she was 40 or 41 something like that which means she'd be in her 60s now not really relevant but I just cheers me up just thinking that someone's older than me I ain't got much to hold on to these days and oh that sounded
rude and I thought we got on really well and then we went out went to the cinema watched a movie you know as you do in the cinema and a few went for a drink afterwards and she said something that was just rude that really kind of set me off a little bit to just say okay take care bye and to leave her and then she was on the phone begging me to come back with her and go back to her house and stuff and apologizing to me it's like but
she just it's almost I don't know she's testing me like pushing my buttons to see what kind of person I was but I don't play games you know I don't really do that I don't even play Kaplunk honestly I don't not into games not any any kind of games really generally never really I mean even when I was a kid we used to have Monopoly and I didn't really see the point in it it seemed it did seem just a little bit like a waste of time Monopoly and then we
had what is it the other one I didn't mind snakes and ladders because that was done over and done with and you can move on with your life it wasn't something that I'd be stuck doing for like three hours yeah it felt more I think with Monopoly it felt like too much of a commitment and the amount of times we didn't even finish the game because my little brother would come up and just chuck the board off the table or something like that so or pour his potty on the table
you know something that would be a distraction to finish in the game so I kind of like hmm Frustration was a game that I used to have where it was it had like this little round bauble thing in the middle of the of the plastic board and you press it and it would make the dice like mounts and then there'd be four different colors I think blue yellow red and green it might not be the right color in but I think it is and it was a case of getting around
and you could take other people's colors and if you landed on their color you could take their color and all that stuff so it was it wasn't really a game of strategy because it was based upon the dice being the correct number for you to you know land appropriately but it was quite good because you didn't need four people to play it sometimes I'd play all four myself just you know the good thing about playing all four the weird thing it's not that good because I did still lose I don't
know how the hell that happened I don't know what happened there but two people's enough and I could like I suppose I could play with my three brothers but the problem with that is I'd have to be in a room with them and oh no I'm joking Christmas was good it's I think really it was okay when I was little little little but they all got bigger a lot quicker than I did so by the time I was 12 they were all they weren't playing games anymore I was still playing
games I was still but not games not like I say not like monopoly or anything I did have video games I had a couple of video game machines one was I think it was kind of like a pac-man but not it was a different kind of version of a pac-man and I had another one which was it's kind of like a handheld game but you put batteries in and you could play it like that so this is I guess quite early early doors really for those machines so it's quite good
I also had two rubik cubes one was the normal one and one had bananas on it different colored bananas it's true I do sometimes wish I had everything all those toys from the age of seven onwards all those toys just neatly packed away and just so I could visit them every now and then and just have a little look you know I mean every single book I've ever owned wow it would uh I think it'd feel nice it'd feel quite cool yeah trying to think what other games there was a
game that we played in the summer me and my brothers and my dad and like family it was called wingbat I don't see if it's still a well if it's remembered wingbat wingbat game from 80s was it called wingbat images no dingbat wasn't dingbat it was wingbat I remember it was like these little tramp um tambourines kind of thing but they weren't tambourines they were but bouncy things and there'd be a I don't know like a little I don't know what you want to call them something a bean filled a
bean filled um bag and you just you'd knock these things between each other to it like I guess like tennis kind of that makes sense it made sense when I said it not sure if it makes sense now I had to change my internet password today because the internet's still playing up even though it's changed wingbat why can't I find the wingbat dingbat wing maybe it wasn't called wingbat but that's my memory of it nope hmm wingbat let's just see if I can just find it wing nope dingbat wingbot bing
bong wing wong I'm sure it was an Australian game Australia Australian bean game oh no bean game no that's bean little bean bags bean boozled bean skidding oh that's Mr Bean this was definitely definitely a game because I remember it and it was quite fun actually it's kind of like tennis kind of Australian bean bag game bean bag no oh tossed bean bag so we're getting closer now tossing if I put in tossing off the bean bag but with a toss party game yeah but it had like a thing that
you could bounce though so it's tossing but it's also you're using like a tambourine to toss it off rather than just with your hand but then it's got this thing here which I do believe is similar as well where you've got holes to toss it off into so that gives you let's have a look backyard DIY bean bag toss and it's the that's this stand-up board with holes in if you get it in you see you know you well you win whatever points you win it's weird though but I can't
find the one I can't find the one with the the bats with bats okay if I put with bats with bats can't find the one with bats I might have looked for this before but couldn't find it before because and maybe it never existed but it did I know it did I know I'm sure it's called wing bats why would I remember something called wing bats if it didn't exist that would make no sense I'm gonna put the name wing bats in again wing bats ah no nothing's come up wing
bats it was like these little tambourines but wouldn't yeah obviously didn't have tambourines on them but like um you know like the covering kind of but not sheepskin or anything it was just um plastic and little little bean bags to toss using I suppose you bounce them you're tossing them you're bouncing them as well really I know there's a craze as well there was these like little bean bags that you had to like keep up so you'd lift them up with your foot and use it with your your leg and
your knee and stuff like keepy uppies but with these little bean bags very popular I can't believe this this is really disappointing I've waited for years to remember to try and find this and now I can't I can't wing bats Keaton nope that's not it either oh I found something that looks a little bit bats the bats look like tambourines nope play hockey inside nope nope nope nope nope we also used to have one of those tennis ball things you know the the big rod so it was a big rod
and it was a tennis ball to have the big rod in the garden and you you'd stand either side of the rod and you'd hit the ball and it just turned around and whoever got to the top or the bottom um would be the winner so used to play that but the problem is as I said before my brother's what just stronger than I was so they'd hit it and I'd just hide because it would end up hitting me in the head and I didn't want that to happen because then
I would get angry and they didn't like me when I got angry so I used to make a snot bubble so I generally playing any kind of physical games with my brothers was out of the question because they were just so much bigger than me you know they're older they were bigger I didn't stand a chance and they never let me win not even at snooker pool um nothing never let me gave me a chance but my two brothers were quite competitive with each other because one was two years old
in the other and they yeah they were more competitive I just couldn't compete partly because I didn't want to but I couldn't really just I wasn't that competitive as a person I did want to win but not if it took any kind of effort I was I was like a lazy competitor you know I mean it's uh yeah so what was I gonna do um yeah I can't find it I'm trying to think of other games that I used to have when I was young like board games I mean they're
really they're really correctly named aren't they just boring just I don't know I can understand yeah no no no I can't I didn't really no I can't no just just no not really my thing board games I mean I might have gone along with it because maybe I've been drinking wine and I was a little bit tipsy or had some chocolate liqueurs you know um too much sugar so maybe I was quite up for playing or watching or whatever but and it's also nice like at Christmas it was nice because
everyone got on with each other really well which was nice because we had a house full of arguments just because we were kids so kids argued a lot four boys and it was just yeah it was a little bit chaotic sometimes which is probably no different to anywhere else but I wasn't a big fan of that you know noise never been a big fan of noise unless I'm the one making the noise then I love noise that's not true Vinnie has had his dinner there for hours and he's not eating
it and he seems to be sulking three times he's given me a huge jump like last night he did it today twice so I was just listening to some music this morning and I fell asleep listening to the music and he started barking and honestly it I jumped out my skin literally I've got no skin left I'm waiting for the ambulance now and then this afternoon I thought I'll just have a little nap a little nap that's all bearing in mind I had music playing as well this time and again
we're in bed and suddenly oh man I had no idea what I kind of didn't know where I was at that point I think this morning it was the postman the postman woman so she delivered yeah so and I don't understand it why he barks I realize it is the front door so that's his part of his domain isn't it but the dustbin men women men when they come people those people when they come every two weeks he used to bark when I first got him he just listens to them
doesn't make a sound and they're making loads loads of noise shouting at each other because that's part of the job isn't it you have to in the job interview you have to prove that you can shout I don't know if you know this if you go to be a refuse collector then what they do is they move you to a different part of country and then they get you to speak to them and if you if you can't hear each other then they don't get the job they literally have to
shout constantly all day that's the job that's part of the job it's in the contract if you don't disturb at least I don't know 500 people every day then you get put on a warning you get you know and you might end up getting expelled but you might end up losing your job you have to disturb people it's part of the job description but that doesn't bother him they'll be shouting swearing laughing moaning all that stuff you know just normal things banging around walking through the hallway to get out and
dropping stuff on the floor as they do so and you know banging doors with a big truck that's my impression of the truck out the front he doesn't make a sound yet the postman woman comes every day well no probably she comes into the building most days and he barks if he hears her even if she doesn't come to my door okay our door if she comes to our door if she puts a letter through he goes haywire absolutely bananas and I don't understand why I don't get it I want
to know I'm not that interested but I want to know and then this afternoon I don't know but I looked for the key peephole thing and there was someone walking down the stairs now I don't know if they'd just come out one of the other flats or they'd be knocking at my door or ringing the doorbell because earlier today I changed the password and I had to reset the door camera bell thing and I hadn't done it yet it's all reset now so you know I had to do because basically
I didn't realize I reset the the password and then I tried to log in and nothing would let me log in and then I had to do a bit more digging to find out what I was doing and you have to I had to turn the the internet hub off first before I can actually actually change anything so what you know I'd already changed the password on because you know there's a way of getting onto there that's separate so then I had to go into every device so my laptop phone
tv all that stuff and change the password which means that no one if anyone has got a way of getting into my account they can't now because it's now secured I don't think anyone was anyway because I looked and there wasn't anyone but there was no other there was no other devices attached that's what I mean see right now the the window's open and the door's rattling a little bit and Vinnie keeps looking at the door like why is it rattling and there's a police siren in the background and I don't know if you can
hear that but Vinnie's like oh what's that I'm guessing he might just be thinking where's my next t-r-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-t I was going to say I'm going to say Summit I can't remember.
So yeah, Games.
What was my favourite game? I quite like Tiddlywinks. and you might think I'm like joking around I'm not there's nothing funny about tiddlywinks and I'm very I'm very against mocking such a game because it is I love it I don't mean I don't love it now but I did and it got to the point where I was quite good actually playing it because it takes a lot of skill to manipulate something so tiny and aim it into a pot and it's almost like you have to grasp the concept of physics and learn all the different
dimensions of which way it could go and practicing and visualizing and really believing that little button a tiddlywink will go into the bowl and to just when you're pressing with the big thing it's like a certain feeling I remember just you can't be too far into the tiddlywink otherwise it could end up going backwards and hitting you in the eye which is true I've heard that happen before or it can go too far and go over the bowl so it's we can go too high up it's really it's a lot of skill involved it's amazing I remember that I mean I haven't played tiddlywinks since I was about 10 wonder what made me think about tiddlywinks any ideas?
Seems a bit random doesn't it? A bit random do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- I mean I quite like dominoes like the actual game dominoes because that was fairly easy I like easy games something that didn't have huge amounts of instructions but basically I had a rule if I have to learn how to play it I don't want to play it you know I mean you could argue well that's every game isn't it but some things are self-explanatory like tiddlywinks you get that into there at all costs and you devote your life to it if you have to you know that's
what I was told and with things like backgammon I think I learned to play backgammon but again I just don't want things to be too complicated then you've got something like what's that game when you've got pictures and you take and you ask a question and they say no and you take off that is a person got a moustache and you say no and you take off the person with a moustache and you say if they got a moustache and you said no and you take off the second person moustache
and they say what why didn't you just take both off I don't know if I could do that you can take more than one off at the same time yeah oh so the next do you want to hear the next question is it going to be if they have a moustache I said no are they bald well wouldn't I want to hear that one because I've got two of them as well it just used to get confusing what other words what other games scrabble nah nah see for me reading and
writing and English has all been about I like basic words I'm a very basic person doesn't mean I don't understand words when they're being used sometimes I don't but it's just I'm very basic I like things to be clear and I don't know if you ever notice people using a word that and my friend did that once he said a word like what the heck was that word he said it's a normal word that's everyday use said no it's not they said yeah it is we argued I said it's not
it's really not as it didn't matter I don't know why I really what it wasn't really worth having a conversation about but it wasn't a normal word it was a word but it's very I rarely use a word I would say yeah he used it I've never heard him say it before and the thing is I got a weird memory where I remember stuff like that if someone said something to me I had this recent thing where I had a friend told me oh blimey about ten years ago the one
of her friends said something about me and then about six months ago my friend told me a different version to that story saying that that person says something different about me one was positive this one was negative and instantly I remembered what she'd originally said I don't know if there was an intention there I don't know but it's like suddenly I remember so if someone lies to me which I don't really care as long as it doesn't affect me I'm not bothered if people lie it's only when they contradict themselves
later on and it might be a year later might be a day later it might be ten years for some reason I have that memory come back of what they originally said not always but it does happen and it's like oh and they don't remember it like okay you just said that and now you're contradicting yourself it's like something my dad said and he only said it as a joke he there was all around the table it's a long time ago me my brother my stepsister and stepbrother we was all
around the table my dad said don't ever have any kids they'll ruin your life don't have kids they'll ruin your life now it was a joke at the time I didn't really take it as a joke but I know it was just a joke he didn't mean it really and he said he didn't want to be a granddad he just didn't want to be thought of as being old that's all it was really you know again I probably took it I wasn't too bothered about that because I wasn't gonna have
any kids when I reminded him of saying that probably six seven years ago he blank blankly refused no I didn't say that but I'm never gonna forget him saying it it's a thing about it and I know I'm not being nasty to him I just you know it's just it was a joke that he said but I know I'm always gonna remember it because it I mean I suppose it's quite a funny thing to say it's just one of those weird things you know it's it's just someone says something completely
different to what they said before as well so yeah Vinicius farted I guess you probably figured out I've got a weird brain so it's fine that's just the way my brain operates I'm pretty good at the spot the difference quite good at those puzzles probably more so if I'd seen before a while ago doing it right in a moment it's harder than actually you know if I walk probably if I walked into this room and someone had changed something and I hadn't been in this room for maybe six months I'd
noticed a change even if it was really minor like a new carpet a new carpet or a new sofa something really really indistinguishable or something really almost not unnoticeable like a big mess of TV on this on this on the wall or a hole in the wall something like that I'd probably notice it aren't I a clever girl so trying to think what other games I used to like why haven't you done your normal week things well you're gonna have to refer to yesterday I did talk about that I just
haven't this week's been a strange week so I haven't really got around to doing summer things in a way this is what I used to do I used to just do a daily let me boil asleep I just talk about what's ever on my mind talk about what's going on in the day if anything's gone on during the day which nothing has I mean I've seen one dog owner today that lessens them around this time of year and it's curled and it's raining and it's dark less people about so yeah
I haven't had much human interaction with the old humans this week if I haven't really done much this week I didn't really feel didn't really feel it wasn't feeling it feeling like the the urge to be all productive although I have made a recording every day this week since Sunday so I guess it's Thursday now so I'm not completely I've not been completely rubbish have I not completely no so just trying to think I have to old thing he's got one of his ears pricked up which means he's listening how
can I stop him from barking so loud so quickly I need to go from complete silence to I like to I don't know how to do it don't know how to do it Vinnie I don't know how to get you to calm yourself down I really don't know and it's not I'm not saying it out of being rude or anything really I'm not genuinely Vinnie it's just it makes me jump really makes me jump and it's a shock to my system to be honest yeah I'm just trying to think of
any other in the other in the other in the other in the other games what other games we did have Skyelectric which we set up I think that's probably something we got us probably at Christmas as well oh that was that would have been probably a family gift or maybe my oldest brother had it I don't know but we all played on it but there was there was a limit to what you can do is something that's on a track that just goes round and round I mean I think it
did go like in an eight an eight kind of thing Vinnie you hassling me which is annoying when I'm making a recording but your foods over there and you've not eaten it eat your dinner I'm not chucking away a whole pack of food no I'm not I'm not chucking away a whole pack of food so what you need to do is eat it I might even get you a sausage later I was chip shop van night tonight but I'm not gonna I'm not going there just reminds me of Funko sausages
I don't don't like going there anymore I don't like hearing it or seeing it you know I mean in it ain't ain't ain't oh there was a thing for a real big craze and my oldest brother was really into it because he loved football and it's called sabutio and he was proper into it like painting figures and different teams and stuff like that it's basically like little weebles you know the weebles wobble but they won't fall down it was like them are those little like weeble bombs but with football players
on top instead of a weeble and you'd push them with your finger and could not figure the point of it I couldn't I mean it was easier than playing football at least you didn't have to get cold and get kicked in the shins and stuff but I remember the worst game of football I ever had and to this day I don't know why why the our gym teacher made us go all the way to a park that was nowhere near so we used it for like sports day and stuff but
why use that when we had a perfectly really good big field behind the school which was used for sports but on this occasion it was snowing or it had been snowing it was icy cold he decided we should go up there and I literally I remember getting back waiting for my fingers to thaw out so I could undo the shoelaces on my football boots just couldn't do it literally I'm still waiting I spent all these years waiting like wearing football boots I'm known as Jason Booty it's true back then it
was Jason Booty played Sabuti but I didn't play Sabuti that often I had a few names I remember one name I used to get called New Zealand lamb at school New Zealand lamb I found that lazy no Newland New Zealand lamb I mean New Zealand I suppose Newland New Zealand so I guess and then there was another one where I had some shoes some new shoes and they're probably a bit big for me not big they were the right size but possibly a bit high which I didn't mind because it
made me look a bit taller but in a way the possibly they're a little bit like Frankenstein monsters shoes because you know you must say Frankenstein's monsters because if you say Frankenstein shoes someone's bound to say nope Frankenstein was the scientist he made Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein well why is the book called Frankenstein then because it's about the scientist no it's not it's about the monster you don't get a picture of the scientist on the cover of the book or the or the movie do you know see Frankenstein and then you
see a picture of the monster who played Frankenstein Bela Lugosi Boris Karloff no it was Frankenstein's monster so let's have a look Frankenstein Frank Boris Karloff Boris Karloff and this is a bit pointless wonder how tall he was in real life though he was Wow he married lots of times one two three four five six six times he got married Wow that's um he was born in 1887 he waited till he was about 27 before he got married so he didn't oh no wait a minute 1887 97 20 I know
he's 22 mind you back then 22 is quite old when I was like middle-aged and his last marriage was 1946 so he's married to her for 23 years the marriage before that it was married for 16 years the marriage before that was for four years marriage before that for two years marriage before that was for three years and the marriage before that was three years as well I wonder if he actually ended up with any money at all after all that Boris Karloff let's have a look I'm just gonna look
at his filmography filmography let's have a look radio appearances okay I mean there wasn't no films when he was born as a appearance on in the sanctum okay appearances on starring Boris Karloff no he was in a lot of stuff I want to see his filmography but it's not showing it for some reason now I don't know why these are radio appearances further information Boris Karloff performances he did so much stuff that it needed a different page for his film stuff his first movie was 1919 1925 19 he was in a lot of movies a lot of movies like lots and lots and lots he played dr.

Wong detective he played James Lee Wong oh okay it does say Frankenstein's monster it's a son of Frankenstein son of Frankenstein wouldn't they have Frankenstein originally Frankenstein maybe he wasn't the first Frankenstein then oh yeah Frankenstein was 1931 the reason I missed it is because 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 17 movies he was in that year I think 17 movies it's a lot isn't it wonder how many Frankenstein movies he was in what was his last movie 1972 okay 1972 and he was around
until 19 Wow 1969 so these were post will call them postmortems or whatever you know post after the released after he'd left yeah Boris Karloff he also voiced voiced the Grinch in the animated television show 1966 which says the dr.
Seuss is how to Grinch stole Christmas oh he was in 174 films and in dozens of radio and television programs as well huh born in nine in 1887 says no television and it weird when you think about it that he was born and his job his career was based on something that didn't exist when he was born it's kind of like I don't know I'm trying to think of something I suppose it's it's like a lot of us really isn't it it's a lot of things that weren't around I mean
the internet wasn't around when I was born and now I'm able to reach like four or five people every day around the world through the internet to help bore to sleep it's kind of amazing really isn't it when you think about it my voice is getting croaky very very croaky indeed that's enough about Karloff when did when was the first radio show broadcast on TV no not on TV 1936 on radio on radio show broadcast December 1906 December 24th 1906 when Reginald Fessenden transmitted a program that included music and reading
of the Bible from Brant Rock Massachusetts this event marked a significant milestone in the history of radio broadcasting later on November the 2nd 1920 KDKA in Pittsburgh conducted what is considered the first commercial radio broadcast covering the presidential election results who listened to the first broadcast I mean how did that work 1906 if radios did radios exist if so why if you couldn't use them for anything unless they're being used for something else I'm confused 1990 and also said 1920 why call it KDKA if you're the first ever radio broadcast
like broadcast or whatever why not call yourself American radio because imagine now over a hundred years later hundred and five years later America radio there'd be no channel that was more more bigger with that that radio channel has been around for over a hundred years I wonder if it still exists KDKA oh come on what are you doing the internet so annoying all on it no go away I want to copy something it's not letting me damn you KDKA is it still around the literally I'm touching stuff okay that sounds
wrong KDKA radio is it still around listen to KDKA radio Marty Griffin breaks news every day so KDKA is still around it's a class a clear channel AM radio so let's have a look it's got to be well clearly it's the oldest radio station in the world unless there was radio stations in other countries it's not saying anything tell me about when it started I'm trying to use the thing the mouse on the laptop and it's not you or look right addition of a broadcast and service okay so there were
stations but they weren't regulate they were regulated by the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Navigation okay so it was people just once the technology was created people just doing their own thing from what I can see did they have telephone lines because a radio doesn't have a telephone line does it the radios back then when the radios through the airwaves I don't you have telegraphs and stuff but hmm I wonder I've lost interest now it's weird when it happens isn't it anyway so she said oh only unfit people sweat I
thought no I'm gonna I thought it's such a silly thing to say so I get home and I go online and do a bit of research and it was just fib fibs fibs fibs sweating is a sign of a very healthy body and it's different if it's winter and you're sweating and it's cold and you know yeah and you're not moving then maybe it's not so good but you know if you're doing physical activity like running because I remember saying to her I said okay at the time who was the
there was some very famous athletes who's the Jamaican runner Bolt Usain Bolt so I remember saying to her oh so Usain Bolt sweats does that mean he's unhealthy you know because he was gold medalist Olympic champion most famous runner in the world at the time I mean as far as I can remember maybe but it was it was him or someone who was at the time and she just sighed almost like she pitied me and I thought how dare you pity me but part of me thought oh she cares she
really cares and then she just left which I'm glad because I did need to fart sometimes it's really good when people because if you ever had interviews where you just all you need to do is fart and they keep going on and on about the job it's like man I had that when I was with uncle sausages it was terrible honestly the doctor was coming around and gave his like final prognosis and I needed to fart and there was questions that needed asking you know but at the same time I
needed to let out that gas and it's very echoey in there it was I would you know pretty much say it was awkward for everyone involved I wasn't worried about the smell but the sound echoing throughout the whole hospital hearing the whispers I think that was Jason that was Jason wasn't it yeah I think it was so it's getting on time for me to get myself something to eat I still can't believe I couldn't find the wing bats game definitely existed I did also try it when I was kid I
used to like the you've ever seen the dominoes where people put dominoes standing up close together and then they set it up they push one off and then it goes all the way around and you know it's it takes some weeks to set it up and it's gone within a few seconds but it's amazing you know the results like fantastic I did that I did it I did a small version of it but I did you know try to do that including going down the stairs as well and it was
fun but at the same time it was like okay why am I doing this what's the end result what's the end goal what what am I going to gain from this long term and nothing really it may be a little bit discipline determination not quitting you know that kind of things things like that probably were useful but ultimately yeah I kind of didn't there was a there was a limitation to what I could really do because I don't know how many dominoes are in a set how many dominoes in a
set 28 28 dominoes probably the reason it didn't fit down the stairs because I put one on each step and it just just fell down onto the next step and that was it there wasn't enough dominoes so I lived at the top of the house that might be in the problem possibly needed more see these ones come in white but when I was a kid dominoes always seem to be black like they black with white dots these ones are white with black dots and I didn't know I mean all the
images are coming in as white with black dots but when I was a kid they were always black I say not always because I've not seen every single domino that's ever been invented but at the time whenever I saw dominoes it was always always white like black with white dots I wonder what changed never mind it might be one of those things that we never get to find out and however disappointing that might be it's all right really it doesn't really matter does it I mean ultimately we could just learn
to get on it's starting to get cold in here now ooh how strange because that windows open so clearly the temperatures dropping yeah we do know what that's what happens when it gets cold the temperature drops yeah we got that from it's getting cold now Wow stop being so rude and don't say you're rude because we've done work we're done with that now we don't do that anymore you tell me what to do I'll do what I want on my own person okay fair enough so on that note I'm gonna
go ladies and gentlemen you beautiful people thank you for listening tomorrow I will be doing Q&A Friday as I always do I realize I've not kind of stuck to all the other things but Q&A Friday that is a firm a firm thing and it's too established now not to do it for some it just I don't know why but it just feels that way it feels like Q&A Friday is very important to do I don't know why but it just that's how it feels to me and it gives you an
opportunity to talk it gives you an opportunity to say something and you know on Q&A Friday it doesn't have to be a question it could just be a statement it could just be say hello to my husband it's his birthday or just with you know say oh thanks we're celebrating because of Viagra supply came in I don't know whatever it could be so I'm gonna go thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy and be gentle of yourself you deserve to feel safe lots of love bye
