Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. My name's Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep.
Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. This is the early edition. What? Early edition? What's that? Well it's the edition that's earlier than the older one.
This is, well today at least, I'm doing two different recordings. This one in the morning and later on tonight I'll do another one. I have to go out.
Oh no, I do have to go out. And I don't want to but I have to because, because, because, because I have a doctor's appointment. Well it's a nurse appointment to have my, it's like a mental health thing.
So I'm going to be going there and the appointment's at two o'clock. So I'm going to get a taxi up there, collect my prescriptions. I've got a taxi booked for one o'clock.
I booked that yesterday. So not for today that is. Then I'm going to go to the pharmacy on the way to pick up my prescriptions.
Then go to the doctor's surgery which will probably, I'll be there probably by about half one. And then I will possibly go into the supermarket, possibly. Or I might just go into the doctor's surgery and just sit there for half an hour.
It doesn't really matter. But I might go and because part of my plan is I need to get a bracket, a wall bracket for my TV. I need to measure my TV.
So I'm not sure where the tape measure is. It's hiding from me. I think there's a reason it hides me because of what I am constantly measuring.
So it's hiding. But if I find it, providing I can, you know, stop it from screaming, I just say, look, no, it's fine. We just can measure the television this time.
Are you sure? Yeah. But that's what you said last time. Okay, no, it's definitely the television we're measuring.
Okay. And so the idea is to get a bracket on the TV, a bracket for the TV on the wall and then get the TV moved up. So I'm gonna get my neighbours downstairs to help me to put it onto the wall.
Then I'm going to move the tables away. Put one. Hmm.
Yeah, I think I might take one table and put it into the bedroom. And have one table because I've got these desks. They're like gaming desks, but I'm not a gamer.
No, I'm not. And have one desk. I'll probably just leave them where they are for now.
But it would be quite nice to go back to being able to do stuff on the computer whilst watching TV. At the moment, I can't do that because the desks are, or the TV's on top of the tables. There's room, you know, to do stuff in front of the tables because they're quite big desks.
But visually, I cannot watch television so close. And General Zod passed away yesterday. You know, from the old Superman movies.
I didn't realise what a great actor he was. And I also didn't realise, I mean, I know he's great in Superman and Zod. Neil before Zod.
And he was a very famous in the 60s. Or 70s, no 60s, I think. And he was in a movie about 2011.
It was so good. I mean, I actually did look it up earlier. Because right General Zod.
General Zod. Why are you passing? Why? Why are you doing that? Terence Stamp. His name is.
But I've got. I've got a Wikipedia saying, please don't skip this one minute read. It's Monday.
The 18th of August. And we're running a short fundraiser to support Wikipedia. If you've lost count of how many times you've visited Wikipedia this time, we hope that means it's given you at least £2.75 of knowledge.
Please join the 2% of readers who give what they can to keep this valuable resource ad-free and available for all. After nearly 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we promised. Created by people, not by machines.
It's not perfect, but it's not here to push a point of view. It's owned by a non-profit, non-giant technology company or a billionaire. OK, so most readers donate because Wikipedia is useful to them.
Others because Wikipedia is more important than ever. If you feel the same, please donate £2.75 now or consider a monthly gift to help all year. Thank you.
That's a nice advert for Wikipedia, wasn't it? Wow, it's got here a once payment option. £2.75, £15, £25, £50, £100, £250, £500 and other. Are there people out there that would actually pay £500? I wonder.
I want to see them stats. You know me and stats. I love a bit of stats.
A little bit of statistic-ic thing. But then, if you go to monthly, also the same amounts. So is there anyone out there that pays £500 a month on a standing order to Wikipedia? If anyone's out there, please, you're welcome to pay me £500 a month.
That'd be cool. Wow, I'd be. I'd have a great financial lifestyle if everyone was paying me £500 a month.
That'd be. I'd earn at least £500 a month. Yeah.
Right, General Zod. So really? Okay, so Terence Stamp. There was a really good movie that I would recommend anybody watching.
It's a really good movie. And he let me have a look. It was about 2011.
No, it wasn't. It was 2012. Song for Marion.
And it's basically, he's an old man. And he loses his wife. That's pretty much the whole, you know, how he copes with that.
But it's really good. It's just something like, you know, family and stuff come to help him. And he's very stoic.
But at the same time, you know, he's got love and you know, it's a really good movie. And I remember watching it thinking, he looks so familiar. Why do I have the feeling to run off and phone Superman to come and help me? I couldn't figure it out.
And it's like, oh, it's Zod. But you know, bearing in mind 2011 and 1978. Looks, you know, he's still got the same face, but aged slightly.
But he was actually nominated for his very first movie he did in 1962, called Billy Budd. He had an Academy Award nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I mean, wow, that's pretty amazing for your very first movie.
Blimey. And then, oh, he was in A Company of Wolves. So that's, has anyone seen A Company of Wolves? It's one of those movies that's kind of disappeared.
It's a really good movie. It's a horror movie, but it's got, it's got the Murder, She Wrote Lady in it, telling stories. But I don't want to spoil it for you.
You know, there's stuff I could tell you, but I don't want to spoil it because, you know, it's only 41 years old. So yeah. We play the devil.
Oh, that's nice. He was also in Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. And I suppose maybe that's what he's, some people would like, know him as because he, I don't know, I never, I don't think I've ever watched that movie.
Not for any reason, just I don't think I ever got around to watching it. But there's a lot of movies, isn't there? A lot of movies. But anyway, he's very handsome man.
87 though, so yeah, he's departed. Right, so let's have a look. I'm just reading the Daily Mirror.
I'm just going to see what it says. More chance, out of hours boost for NHS scans and tests. Okay.
Oh, I mean, okay. What's this? Eva Longoria is the exact opposite of Desperate Housewife as she chills on the beach in the sea. So there's a picture of her in a bikini on the beach.
Don't know why. Right, so what else? I'm just skipping through all the politics and stuff. No, blimey.
No, no, no. Brooklyn's words of love for new family. So Brooklyn Beckham has made an emotional speech as wedding vow renewal ceremony.
And he preached praise on his wife's close knit family. Isn't it weird? This like the press. They've been talking about the Beckhams for since what the 90s.
David, and then of course, Skinny Spice, Pouty Spice, whatever she was called. And then they got together. Because, you know, they were both famous in their own right.
I mean, technically, she was more famous than him really. And then they got together. And the newspapers haven't stopped talking about them.
And then they had babies. And the newspapers didn't stop talking about them. And then those babies are now old, or, you know, adults.
And they still haven't stopped talking about them. It's like, it's almost like they're like another royal family. Weird.
And strange. Right, let's have a look. Lose.
Okay. Cliff Richard makes a date with photoshoot. So he has a photoshoot.
He's 84. All right, so he makes a calendar every year. So he's done a Christmas calendar now ready for Christmas, which isn't that far away, I suppose.
But he no longer strips for them. Yeah, I mean, he's making out that that was his own choice. No.
I think he was asked, please, please, Cliffie. We've got a bit of feedback from your fans. You know, they still love you.
They do. But Hmm, when you do your next Christmas calendar shoot, wear clothes. Olivia's okay, I'm just skipping through.
Oh, battered sausage Farage climate climate war snub helps to put our fish and chips at risk. Tick tocks risky tips to avoid pregnancy. Okay, this has got to be interesting.
Right? I should be looking at TV. I've got this stream to the TV. So I should be able to watch that.
Okay, right. dodgy birth control tips on tik tok could do the opposite. So more than half of the contraception advice found on the platform rejected methods such as pills and patches.
Some failed to disclose the drawbacks of the drawbacks of methods the draw outs of methods such as fertility tracking. Dr. Caroline de mole bandle of a la Trobe University Australia said much content is unreliable. This kind of misinformation can result in unsafe decisions.
They're not saying anything. They're not telling us anything. Just give us some information.
Give us an example at the very least. You know, pull out something. So they're talking about Terence Stamp.
Bitcoin Raider Brit give a pope pope's mass for homeless and helpers. That's nice. Crime Watch.
Oh, baby. Bb, bb, bb, bb, bb, bb, bb, bb, bb. Tommy Fury.
Tommy Fury relaxes in his own kitchen as as turns his life around. Right, that's not even a sentence. Is it? Tommy, this is Tommy Fury.
It's Tyson Few's brother Tommy Tommy relaxes in his own kitchen as turns his life around so the misty he now he's like well that's pedantic but this is a newspaper this is a national newspaper you'd think they'd be able to get a sentence there's more important things to be concerned with I know dad right I'm not interested in hearing about Tommy Fury or his wife or girlfriend and none of my business and eight kilogram fat cats in flap to find new owners so a cat who grew so fat she could
not fit through a cat flap is in need of new owners to help her slim down seven-year-old moose are you sure it's a moose a ginger domestic shorthair reached 9 out of 9 on the vets obesity scale she arrived weighing 8.62 kilos and her fur was completely matted as she could not groom herself staff at the little valley shelter but why would the owner want to get rid of her just make a bigger cat flap and maybe do some grooming I don't know because the thing is with cats is they
can like a dog will eat what you know what your dog's eating because you're the one giving them food with a cat they can eat and then go off and eat someone else's food and catch things and you know I mean this cat ain't catching nothing is yeah by the time he cat if he sees a bird by the time he gets to the bird it's going to be a different season it will migrated plastic pollution is a major threat to the okay right what other things there's some women in
bikinis for some reason okay can't bother with that I've got dad who was too fat to fit in his car loses 20 stone and does triathlons okay good on him so they I don't know what this is James Norton's grimaces during blood that's an advert for a tv show how to put all this is interested how to prepare for your teens party so Sally Ross shares her tips for keeping your home and kids protected in other words spying on them so get a doorbell stopping them from having fun get a
doorbell camera in hindsight having a doorbell camera was very effective and I'd recommend it to other parents thinking of letting their kids have a house party we could also look at who's who was at the door and decide if they were going to open it or not if we were going to open it or not I mean I would recommend a door camera a doorbell camera camera doorbell whatever you want to call them to everyone I've got one and is I know the people that don't like them is there's some
people I suppose they just you know they don't want to be on camera but I would say quite a few people that don't want to be on camera is for a reason that's because they're dodgy they're dodgy apparently right if you this is a psychological thing if you want to cut down crime put cardboard cutouts of police in windows and even if right the the general public can see it's just a cardboard cutout or it's a sticker on a window of a police person it's psychologically it's like garlic to a
vampire they don't know why but they just want to get away from that because inherently in them that criminal dodgy disgustingness that they are is kind of repelled by it and they can't help it so I thought about getting some sticker police to put in my windows but then I'd never get any visitors no one had ever come in the building right get home and contents insurance right lock away anything valuable or sentimental agree a guest list and list and limit numbers ask to see this get home and contents insurance
now I'm surprised I haven't actually put a company to phone because this is all about advertising isn't it these newspapers agree a guest list ask team to turn off their location on social media this is a useful tip that police share with parents tell kids to turn off their location on social media apps such as snapchat if youngsters who aren't invited to see a whole group in one location they're going to assume there's a party of some kind that's where you end up with gate crashes so it's a good way
of minimizing the risk of unwanted guests I'll tell you what I always found kind of weird even when I was a kid how this is something and it's still I know it still goes on is how there can be like a hundred people at a party and one person walks in and starts to dominate starts to chuck their weight around or maybe two maybe three even but they start to chuck their weight around and the hundred people all kind of you know feel uncomfortable and they do nothing but when you've
got like one person and you've got a hundred people that one person could be removed quite easily quite successfully I'm not saying permanently but you know they can definitely be removed from the building I used to notice that at school like hundreds and hundreds of kids and one there'd be one kid walking around like he was special like he probably was special but like what he was you know being a bully boy or bully girl because there was girls that did that as well I never really got it never really
kind of understood why people didn't just get together and have a little chat with them so that's enough of that now you're just a child just like all of us you just developed a bit quicker you got more muscles than us at the moment and you know it's like you got hundreds of kids all like a bit dubious a bit scared a bit worried about this one lad that's just grown a bit bigger than everyone else when they could just remove him from the building if they wanted but they don't
do they they don't I used to honestly things I used to think about when I was a kid it's like why I mean I was no different well I don't know I used to stand up for myself generally and but I was lucky I didn't really have to worry about stuff like that when I was at school I didn't have and I know it's horrible I had one kid try to bully me once and that didn't work out no twice actually it didn't work out well for them but I the
difference is I think I grew up with two older brothers and I also grew up in a much more very it wasn't a soft childhood you know so from the ages of two to seven you know it wasn't uh you know I lived on a council a rough council estate in Newcastle when I was very young so I wasn't really scared of kids so yeah I don't know I just oh maybe I'm just lucky that no one decided they maybe I don't know I don't know but I think you know
with the having older brothers it was just it does make a difference because they were a bit rough and ready sometimes and I used to being pushed around and it didn't bother me it didn't I wasn't intimidated by it although they didn't have my back because they weren't even in the same school as me no they weren't I was on my own oh have a responsible adult present well that's going to completely ruin the teenager's fun isn't it if there's like a parent there but then it doesn't say teen it
says teenagers I don't know they're talking about 13 and they're talking about 19 because it's still teenagers isn't it so I don't know I don't know what the rules are with that and have a repair kit for minor damage so it can be touched up easily hide spare keys and serve food because teenagers get hungry teenagers get hungry wow be careful with what you serve as it could end up on your furniture or the carpets so not only do teenagers get hungry they also eat like animals teenagers get we all
get hungry it's just normal oh dear let's have a look what's else what's else what is else Colleen I feel judged for moving out and leaving our kids dear Colleen so this is dear Colleen I'm thinking about doing a dear Jason agony uncle column what do you think I could answer people's questions you could send in a question or a letter answer your letter you could send in a letter and then I'll give you my opinion I don't think anyone want to hear my opinion um yeah probably not a good
idea I don't know it might be interesting but I don't know really whoops what are you doing right okay here we go what's the next one this is just adverts travel inspired okay so remembering right tv stuff now I saw an article maybe it was the people so what I saw online this morning that was very scary oh so I'll heavy weight for u6 shot Otauma says he hasn't earned right yet to face undisputed champ so Moses Otama is the you know the next big thing really in heavyweight boxing and
he insists that he will not call our undisputed king Alexandra is sick because he does not believe he deserves the chance yet which is true I mean true in the sense that he hasn't done anything to earn his right to fight for world title when there's people waiting to fight for the world title already in a queue you got Joseph Parker Fabio Wardley and I think Caballero and I also do believe Chisora so I think all four of those people are ahead of Moses Otama so what Moses Otama need to
do is knock one of those off the perch so he yeah or all of them I mean I don't know how it works really because he's I know I think he trained for like 14 weeks for less than two minutes in the ring and and I'm not sure if he even got hit once in that fight he might have done but I don't not sure if he did and he knocked Dylan White out in the first round so technically couldn't he have another fight next month but then they can't promote
it they haven't got time to promote it because if once that I think once they get to the level of because now he's at world level it will be rated you know probably in the top 10 of every every belt now so I'd like to see him just every month of the year fighting those big people so except providing you know he doesn't get into a getting injured or you know almost every two months even six times a year but with heavyweights they just don't seem to do that or any
boxers now I mean there was a time when world champions would defend their titles multiple times in a year now especially with head or heavyweights you're lucky if you get two fights a year which is not a lot I mean it's probably a lot for them but it's not a lot in the sense of the you know it's going to take them 10 years to rack up 20 fights or five years to get 10 defenses five years there's a really weird sound I don't know where it's coming from it's like
I can hear it so it almost sounds like it's in the wall or outside it sounds a bit like my stomach I think it might be a bird maybe it's a bird in the loft it's possible anyway I'd um so it's kind of like okay let's read the rest of this a tower 20 made light work blah blah blah but he is he is iron more what that doesn't even make sense but he is iron more those champion at the bit to get a shot in usik rather so he's iron
more those champion okay so he's iron he's looking at the people waiting to fight usik he said I put on a performance for you guys so it's now who's next I don't want to call out usik because I don't believe I deserve the opportunity mind you the man in charge of the money in boxing who is in Saudi Arabia says that he wants usik to fight what's his name um tell me tell me and generally what he wants he gets because he's got the money so I'm pretty sure if he
if he said if he said to now if if if Saudi Arabia offered uh Alexandra Usik he said to him I would like you to fight a Taoma and Usik might say no and they said here's a hundred million okay then I don't think it's a really long discussion is it and all I've got to do is if anyone's upset wait a minute I was next in line chuck him a couple of couple of million he's going to go away happy so I'll never mind I don't mind waiting I'm not
going to wait here's two million dollars all right then I'll wait then okay just let me know when you're ready it's you know it's easy if they've got the money it's so easy to get it all put together and the problem is Moses Taoma has he's kind of eclipsed all the other heavyweights now in a sense of he's the most exciting heavyweight out there that everyone's now watching anyone in that's interested in boxing and whether or not he's ready for Usik and I'm not sure that anybody will ever be able
to beat Usik if I was going to choose between any other heavyweight fighting Usik if I could choose which one I'd choose Moses because it's an exciting fight it's just it's exciting to see you know because I I personally I didn't fight Eve I didn't find either of the the only fights I've actually enjoyed Usik as a heavyweight well the only ones would be probably when he fought Chisora four or five years ago whenever it was and then the two fights with Daniel Dubois both those fights were good and the
second fight you know that but but I didn't really I mean there was there was good parts in the other fights with Joshua two fights with Joshua the two fights with Fury but they weren't weren't like a great watch you know though I mean he's the skill was amazing but there's something I wasn't excited about watching them I was excited about the the the show because there was lots of really big fights on the show I was more excited on the about the undercard than the actual main event to be
honest or some of those shows especially with the rematches I wasn't that interested in seeing Tyson Fury or Joshua fighting Usik again I'd rather them just fight each other that's one that's been which now kind of I don't think it's it's still it's still a sellable fight it'll still sell out Wembley because it's one they're both at the same kind of stage of their career near the end potentially then I keep remembering George Foreman who was 45 when he won a world title so you know it doesn't necessarily mean just
because someone's 38 that there needs to be written off but then George Foreman did have a long break he had like a 10-year break after you know when he was young to coming back so that 10-year break definitely would have made a difference yeah I want to see I hope that they put that on because that's going to be interesting that would be something I'd look forward to if they said okay um was it August September it's say November or December Usik's going to defend his title against Atalma all his
titles I'll actually look forward to that like proper look forward to it because regardless of who wins it's going to be a good fight because Atalma is he's a special fighter and clearly so is Usik, Usik's probably one of the best heavyweights ever he's so good he's just brilliant brilliant boxer but everything is just um but I find Atalma exciting there's difference I don't find Usik to be an exciting fighter he's a brilliant fighter and he's really funny bloke off off you know in real life and from what I've seen
on videos and he's got great skill and he's you know but I don't find that style I don't know it's almost like he's running circles around the big heavyweights and making them not look very good when actually they are all really good all the four all the ones that he's beaten are good fighters world champions at different times as well because he beat beat them to win the titles so I don't know I'm kind of I'd like to see I quite like to see because there's a few different people that
Usik should be fighting next as I said um Kabayel and Joseph Parker being the two main ones and I think Joseph Parker's next Kabayel is I mean Joseph Parker's the most improved heavyweight out of everyone he's gone from being a really good boxer former world champion to being a really hard hitter and an absolute warrior which he never used to show that in the past not the way he does now he's like he really goes all out very exciting fighter I didn't used to find him exciting in the past and
I've watched Joseph Parker fight oh what 10 15 times probably he's I've been following him for nearly 10 years he's so much more exciting now Kabayel is just beating everyone anyone that puts in front of him he's he's superior boxing skills and he's a hard puncher so I think out of all the boxers that stand the best chance forgetting out of the the ones that are experienced forgetting the two Atami Atama Kabayel is probably the one that has more chance of winning against Usik than any other heavyweight based on skill
based on boxing ability and you could argue oh yeah but what about Taisa Fury he's the he's a great boxer and yeah can't argue with that he's a brilliant boxer but he doesn't Usik seems to have had he's almost he's got the the blueprint for the big guys now Kabayel is not big he's big obviously all heavyweights are big but he's not a big big guy so he's not going to be six seven six eight so Usik can't do that ducking and diving and going you know running around them with
him because he's going to be standing in front of them and they're both probably about the same height in fact Kabayel might be a bit shorter so I'm thinking he might you know that he might be a chance to win but I do hope I do do do hope if Atama if they don't match Atama with Usik because Usik's probably got a couple of fights left if that and then he's going to retire because I think that's I think he said that he's not fighting for much longer so Atama if
he doesn't fight him now he may never get a chance to fight and I think it's really good if an undefeated world champion gets beaten but and so the new world champion beats an undefeated world champion and passes that torch on it's almost I know they become the linear champion and there's something quite cool about that then you can trace it back all the way back to you know 100 years ago but there's there's something quite cool about that beating an undefeated two two different weights world champion two times unified
heavyweight champion and no one's ever done that before I don't think so yeah if Atama doesn't get a chance to fight him now he probably never will fight him I mean if he doesn't fight him this year so I would say the only two people three three actually Cabell, Josip Parker or Fabio Wardley now Fabio Wardley's undefeated I don't want to see him fighting Atama because I'm a big fan of Fabio and I just don't I want him to take a different route I kind of don't want to put keep
putting two Brits together I want to keep keep you know let's have lots of world champions if we can like we did before with Andy Joshua and Fury you know they never fought each other because then they'd only have one world champion only one British world champion instead of two and as long as we had two we kept everyone else away I said we kept everyone else well I didn't really wasn't really that involved myself but you know we've dominated the heavyweight division for a good few years now in England
Britain whatever you want to call us and really Wilder was the only one Deontay Wilder was the only non-British fighter that that was prominent in the last 10 years in the heavyweight division like really I mean if we go back 10 years Josip Parker was a world champion and you know it's been a few world champions till it was all kind of put together but Wilder dominated in America for his world title and I think he I'm sure he had about 10 defenses until he lost to Fury a few years
back and Anthony Joshua he's had the belt since he won the belt about eight years ago nine years ago they lost it then he won it back again they lost it a couple of years or three years ago to was it two years ago I don't know to Usyk I just want to see I want to see a Taoma fight Usyk that's it that's all I want I think it'd be cool and like sometimes heavyweight well I'm going to talk about heavyweight sometimes fighters do go in too early so I
think that there's an example of Joe Frazier's son Marvin Frazier he'd only had a few fights and he went in with Larry Holmes and because he had Frazier's name and he was you know he was following in his his dad's footsteps and Joe Frazier being one of the most famous boxers in America history even you could argue it's a very famous name always will be I guess Joe Frazier so his dad having his dad is who he was Marvin Frazier got a crack at the world title against Larry Holmes way
sooner than he was really ready for and even Larry Holmes was saying to the referee you need to stop it because he couldn't he you know he just wasn't ready to fight the best heavyweight in the world at the time who was Larry Holmes I do hope though oh my gosh is he going to keep talking about boxing the whole time and maybe maybe I do hope that when they come to the history books for boxing heavyweight boxing I sometimes feel that Larry Holmes is almost forgotten which I find amazingly
ridiculous because he's one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and I know people argue but it doesn't matter my podcast I'm correct actually I do believe I'm correct I mean I say one of the greatest he could be one of 20 or 30 you know he's for not he was phenomenal his defense was great great great jab his defense was amazing and and he held the title for a long time and he fought all comers he just for some reason wasn't he didn't have the popularity because he came just
after well he won he didn't win the world title from Muhammad Ali but he came after Muhammad Ali being the most famous boxer and then you had Joe Frazier and George Foreman and all those really popular heavyweight boxers of that era Norton and Ernie Shavers was he the 70s there's so many really big names in the 70s who not all of them won world titles but they were all you know kind of sort of celebrity status really I suppose but especially you know George Foreman Frazier Ali and then Larry Holmes
took over and he ran he ran the place you know he ran the heavyweight division for quite a while but he just even he said himself he just didn't get the respect that he deserved he fought anyone that you know that was offered to him and he beat everyone until he faced Michael Spinks so he had I think he had 48 wins 48 wins undefeated record and he fought Michael Spinks who was Leon Spinks his brother Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali in about 19 I don't know 78 77 so that's
the thing you know when Larry Holmes beat Muhammad Ali everyone's saying oh Muhammad Ali's an old man he's an old man you beating me shouldn't have been in the ring Muhammad Ali shouldn't have been in the ring he was so old but and I'm gonna look it up now okay Ali and you gotta put Ali and nope Ali Express okay that's weird I thought Muhammad Ali would come up he doesn't boxer if I put in boxer hardly there was a time you put in Ali and Muhammad Ali okay so let's
go down to the boxing record boxing record all the way down to all the way up to the end so right he fought Leon Spinks February the 15th 1978 okay and he lost on points this is Muhammad Ali six months earlier than that he fought Ernie Shavers and so you know he was still and he was a world champion by the way but he lost his world title and then September 15 1978 Muhammad Ali fought Leon Spinks again and he won the world title back so September 1978 so we're going
to go forward September 1979 1979 September 1980 so just over two years later he fought Larry Holmes now fair enough two years of not getting in a ring is quite a long time and you know they argue yeah he was 38 years old nearly 39 but he was nearly 37 years old when he won the world title back so I'm not sure how much two years can have an effect just you know generally I'm not sure but he that I think he was it was one of those situations where the
same with the Dillian White fight and Atalma Atalma is a lot of the people going on about what Dillian White's lost it he's not he's not the Dillian White he used to be and you know that's why it ended so quickly and he's just lost what he had and they said that about Ali giving Larry Holmes no credit for winning and it's a little bit like that with Atalma not giving him the credit perhaps he deserves for beating someone like Dillian White who has been a huge force in the heavyweight
division for a long time he's not a pushover he wouldn't he's never going to be a pushover even when he's 80 he won't be a pushover this is a big strong um tough man so Larry Holmes didn't get the credit he deserved for beating Ali and I never really kind of understood not never really I mean it's just recently but the last 30 or so sod years sod so years odd sod so and odd oh I've ordered my taxi for one o'clock it's now 11 25 I don't want to go
out oh so anyway that's Larry Holmes Ali didn't retire he had another fight a year later just over a year later and he fought Trevor Burbick now if you don't know who Trevor Burbick is he is the person who did the chicken dance when Ali not Ali Tyson Mike Tyson won the world title against Ali against Ali Mike Tyson won the world title against um Trevor Burbick and when I was because I was like 60 years old I watched it and I thought Trevor Burbick is rubbish again I was also
I was impressed by Mike Tyson and I've been following him for a couple of years um watching his progress because he was the new kid well I think they did call him kid wonderful now they called him kid dynamite to start with before they called him iron Mike and because he was a kid when he was a teenager so I remember watching updates on his fights and how he's like because he was fighting every every few weeks so I used to watch his boxing show and they say um teenage kid
dynamite Mike Tyson knocks out another huge man so when he fought for the world title he made Trevor Burbick look awful like really bad but the fact is he weren't like a nothing fighter and also he did have some losses later on and before but he fought some really fought some big names before as well and and after some he lost some he won and I'm trying to look for the where he got knocked out so you know he got knocked out by Mike Tyson in round two bearing in mind
he had his record he had 61 fights this is Trevor Burbick he lost his title in 1996 1986 sorry and he carried on and his last fight was in May 2000 so he carried on for another four years or three and four years 14 years or 13 and a half years he won 33 by knockout 16 by decision he had 11 losses and you might say well that's not very good well okay fair enough but nine by decision only two by knockout so no one after Mike Tyson was able to
knock him out and again he fought some good names not to start with I'll say as in like I don't know I don't know any of them names and leading up to John Tate John Tate was uh I think quite a big name he fought Larry Holmes on his 21st fight so he had lost he'd lost to someone called Bernardo Mercado and he was previously top-ranked heavyweight but he never never kind of quite got there and then in 1981 he fought Larry Holmes took Larry Holmes to distance this is peak
Larry Holmes this isn't the Larry Holmes that fought Mike Tyson this is him at his best and he couldn't get rid of uh he couldn't knock out old uh Burbick he also won he beat Muhammad Ali and it was Muhammad Ali's very last fight he beat Greg Page so this is after he lost to Larry Holmes he had two two losses 82 83 to do two different people I've never heard of and then he kind of builds his career back up again and then he fights Pinkland Thomas to win the
WBC heavyweight title he won that 22nd of March 1986 and then he fought Mike Tyson 22nd of November 1986 and got knocked down in two rounds now I for some reason thought that that was it for him he he must have just quit and run off with whatever money he got paid because he would have got paid more than Mike Tyson for that fight because he was a champion which means he would have got paid a nice sum of money I imagine should have got a rematch clause I don't know
how many people would have wanted to watch that fight if there was a rematch because it was such a convincing win but you know you never know Carl Williams he lost too who was a big name Buster Douglas he lost too who was also I think undefeated at the time Buster Douglas went on to beat Mike Tyson of course so this is 1989 so when did Buster Douglas this must have been the fight before Buster Douglas fought Mike Tyson but that was unanimous decision so he lost that one then he
went back to the drawing board whatever he fought Jimmy Funder lost there but he also fought people like Haseem Rahman who's a former world title champion again lost on points but that was that's a big name he was I think he was two-time world champion in fact he also fought Iran Barclay and won and this is in 99 and the weird thing about it is that Trevor Burbick although he he looked awful in the Tyson fight apparently he was a very tough man like a bit of a bully boy actually
so yeah I don't know why I'm talking about that why am I talking about that I don't know who knows there's no one no one ever knows right let's have a look at these star signs Aries sharing ideas with like-minded people energize you conversations inspire you to look into new possibilities I'm going to open this up and make it bigger that's it new possibilities in group situations you will balance assertiveness with charm and the right words will open doors the more unusual a situation the more it will attract your interest so that's Aries that's March 21st April 20.

at a new newspaper because that was pretty boring that was a mirror national newspapers the mirror there don't seem to be a people for some reason no people uh Daily Star let's have a look at Daily Star let's read that the Daily Star um okay it's more the same kind of stuff really Eva Agovanichvich is uh in a bikini still I don't know why Eric Idle reckons Monty Python will never reform because their comedy magic has gone and so is half the cast it there'd be no they're all like in
their 80s and stuff it'd be no point to reform they've all had their own careers haven't they like separate I don't know it's bear it in mind I mean I I personally think the best thing that the pythons did the Monty pythons was the movies they did I preferred them to the tv show especially the life of Brian that's just one of the funniest movies I ever watched I watched it's weird because I actually had a hangover I was what 14 and I shouldn't have had a hangover but I did
so I'd been drinking red wine the night before so a proper headache anyway there was no one else in the house because I was at my uncle's house and they'd all gone out so I watched Airplane and the Life of Brian back to back so I watched one and then the other and I think it's the most I've ever laughed as a kid the most like in one time I was it was it was really the needed tonic oh yes and I just they became my two favorite comedy movies they
were just hilarious it's so ridiculous right you got another person here that's eating noodles Camilla Cabello I don't know what she's wearing a corset eating noodles I don't really know what that's about I'll read it later piece of nope that's done you need to unclog the shower stop it oh red card right that's it nope hurricane okay we've got it's all about the weather now we're obsessed with weather in this country it's ridiculous Oasis of Calm okay Oasis what on earth is that um I'm so out of touch with new
singers I'm I tried I tried to listen right I tried to listen well not even try I listened to I watched some videos of new new recordings new new artists I want to say new probably it could be any time in the last 10 years probably so I'm a little bit out of touch and I tell you what's weird is I can really see the how to explain it um a lot of copied stuff a lot of uh copied melodies and um it's it's kind of hard to find anything that's
really original in a sense of and you might be arguing what do you mean like Barbie girl from 1994 or 97 is that what you mean by original because no one had ever done anything like Barbie girl it doesn't make it doesn't mean it's good though does it hey hey hey all right blimey don't have a go at me I don't know it's just I can see how people like Billie Eilish have just had such an impact on the artists the new artists but then that's always going to be the
way isn't it you know every every artist is going to be impacted by you know previous people so yeah a referee counts out a bot boxer as the winner gloats top humanoid robot games really this is weird so there's two stories about robots on the same page no there's three now this is not a specific page for you know technology there's three two big stories and one little story all about robots which makes me think they're really preparing us baby they're getting us ready well you know what preparing means billy
conn warned to fans so billy connelly has warned crooks about using ai to recreate his voice and face to scam his fans billy connelly you're 82 don't worry about it I do wonder why people get so caught up in stuff you know when they get older I'm trying to kind of wind down now in a sense of what does it matter there's a 70 year old person that lives nearby ranting and ranting around and honestly he goes on rants this person about um the state of the country and the politicians
and boat people they it's a big thing at the moment boat people those boat people so yeah ranting and ranting I'm thinking this is the time you need to start valuing you're 70 if you've really got time to spend getting angry and getting worked up over stuff like that I don't think there was a story about it was well the all it was it was on the internet and it was basically okay joan collins did a photo shoot in a bikini she's 92 but the story it was just a story
written no pictures and someone put a comment underneath saying why didn't you put any pictures you know this is to the person that wrote the article there was comments on there why didn't you put any pictures of her and the person that wrote the article said because we didn't want to melt the internet what happened to the internet it used to be really good yeah and they posted some pictures of the the thing is right okay nobody wants to see a picture of a 92 year old human in a bikini
or in beach wear I mean even when the record went when all the the stuff was done joan collins was sitting there and the photo shoot was finished and they said to her so joan she's i've got to go i'm going now she said but joan don't you want to see the pictures sorry joan just laughed of course i don't nobody does thanks for the money honey solitude helps you think more clearly inner clarity as well as peace of mind will come through rest and reflection in a tense situation step
back and observe before acting you will discover a hidden strength by releasing old patterns gently so that's my virgo same person same day he's just reworded it i'm thinking ai ai he's put it into ai right uh nope nothing else i want oh who's that celebrating the rise of a global superstar olivia rodrigo never heard of her okay tell me aiming to bid to buy time after first round white beard so what he talked about that and great denth for my denth great denth what's denth mean did you mean depth

no this is the irish oh blimey so this is national news sunday mail we don't want the sunday papers so there's only the daily express what about the daily mail where's the daily mail okay daily express let's have a quick look through this one daily express britain 10 million 10 million people in really 10 million britain's love junk food okay so that's the headline right it's a disaster one woman said to me her husband is so addicted to bread she's sprays bleach on crusts in the bin to stop him eating
so to stop him going into the bin to eat the bread um i don't know what to say about that um other than it's probably not very healthy to be spraying bleach onto food in a bin uh you know because someone might come across the bin who's very hungry that's yeah i don't know if he wants to eat bread he's gonna eat bread it's his choice isn't it i don't know is is there a law about bread i don't know i'm not sure uh look council will let will let staff
work from abroad for four weeks that's a good idea dame helen mirren has said that while she is a feminist the next james bond has to be a gay a guy okay you can't have a woman it just doesn't work i mean jamie bond i don't think they're really focusing on the name are they i don't know i mean what does it matter they get so caught up in that stuff to me james bod he he must be a a white um heterosexual male can't be anything else um i don't
know i don't know if it to me i wouldn't care i'm not that emotionally invested in it i realize change can be difficult for some people but blimey it's just a movie it's not a real person not really time capsule farm prefers 200 year history that's nice what's that joint i stay active together wow how about this year how to prepare your for your teens party i do believe i've already done this so i'm guessing the daily mirror is from the same printers that make the daily express completely same exactly
the same article same picture everything that's disappointing very disappointing same it's almost the same adverts wow it's very lazy and russell grant is also doing the horoscopes what's my horoscope on this one let's have a look same day the third different newspaper solitude helps you think much more clearly some inner clarity as well as peace of mind will come through rest and reflection in a ted situation take a step back and observe before taking any action you will discover a hidden strength by releasing some of the old patterns gently word

this is a more serious paper so there might not be much i can really read out of here wait a minute what's the scabidi tick tock words make it into the latest dictionary so scabidi tradwife and dilulu are among new words to have made it into the cambridge dictionary this year confirming the increasing influence of the tick tock generation on the english language for those hoping that such neologisms would be passing internet craze the compilers of the dictionary are um say they are here to stay i've never heard the word
scabidi i don't think um dilulu or tradwife i don't know any of those words i don't know what they mean anyone i do know because i've got a young neighbor she's 20 or 21 now and she's taught me a few words but there was one you know spamming what spamming means to probably most people due to the internet you know um so spamming now with the younger generation it means when someone keeps texting you that's called spamming see it's it's hard to keep track of all this stuff so internet culture
is changing english language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary said its lexical program manager colin mcintosh we only add words we think they've got staying power well i've never heard how can i not have heard of them i'm not saying that i'm every man you know i'm not necessarily above i'm i'm i'm around i'm around i am around i'm how have i not heard of these words scabad or scabidi older generations and those not on tiktok will just have to get used to get used
to words such as scabidi which became popular thanks to the scabidi toilet a viral animated video that began on YouTube featuring human heads protruding from lavatories really i've not even heard of that i'm on YouTube every day children now often use the word to add emphasis to statements the cambridge dictionary defines scabidi as a word that can have different meanings such as cool or bad or can be used with no real meaning as a joke as an as an example of its use is what's the spaghetti are you doing people
older than gen alpha what the heck all these gen gen x gen z gen alpha um we didn't used to have these terms when i was not even 10 years ago 20 years ago it's just you're either young or you're old or you're really old that was it it's like generate your generation i'm okay there was the boomers the baby boomers which is my dad's generation but outside of that there was no lots of generations or maybe a war generation scabidi brain rot encapsulate encapsulates capsulates a generation fluent in irony
but starved for meaning so this kind of hyper chaotic media serves as both entertainment and an ambient worldview for young men raised online young men what about young women their minds normalize prank as expression the trade wife phenomenon refers to social conservative influences who celebrate looking after their husbands children and homes okay so it's a socially conservative influences who celebrate like a traditional lifestyle and delula is an abbreviation of delusional has become associated with a post-truth world where personal beliefs are more important than reality wow yeah i mean there is
something in that isn't there he's the lula you do lula so yeah personal beliefs more important than reality it's always been like that though it's just we didn't know i'll tell you the only difference really i think with social media i know i'm kind of part of that being here doing this but is before social media came around and YouTube and Facebook and you know the internet really we didn't really get to find out what kind of opinions people had other than just those people that you knew in your friendship
group maybe in your family and even then perhaps they would keep it to themselves some strong viewpoints and then the internet came along and for quite a while it was quite anonymous wasn't it you know the internet people could come and say whatever they wanted to get away with it changing a little bit now but you can it's kind of weird especially on YouTube i think YouTube is quite a good example really is there'll be a video and i'll look at the comments and it's you got it's almost like people
are watching a different video to me what they've got from it what their opinion is it about it is it's like you could you could have like 500 comments and seven or eight or 12 or 15 maybe 25 different viewpoints and then the other people are kind of either agreeing or disagreeing it's like how you've all watched the same video it's like there's a if you just put a color on a screen and people would argue over what color it is and there was there was a thing about a dress
wasn't there a few years back what color is the dress it's green no it's not it's blue i don't see a dress yeah i'm not gonna finish that sentence but it's like you know it's opinions and emotions over reality and it's yeah very strange very strange i can't really go much further into this because it's time for me to go and have a shower and get myself ready for my trip to the doctor's surgery and when i get back i'm going to put this just skipping through as i talk i'll
upload this recording or edit it and upload it so and i'm gonna make another one later telling you how i got on at the doctor's because i'm pretty sure a lot of you will be very very excited to hear what happens next in this story of my exciting existence so thank you very much for coming thank you for being here i'm just wondering if there's a note that doesn't seem to be no it doesn't seem to be a horoscope in this in this paper no there doesn't seem to be no
oh well that's all right it doesn't matter i've got a red three didn't i that was enough that was enough oh wait a minute unless there is no there isn't i could oh i didn't talk about the weather maybe i'll do that later i'll go through the weather for today so thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself you deserve to feel safe lots of love and someone's banging around outside now bye
