(music) (10 hours) #1450 Whisper Let me bore you to sleep

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can.

Safely close your eyes. I'm just checking the stats. I've been up for about 7 minutes 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes Something like that.

So yesterday was a fairly good day, stats wise. Let's have a look at the stats for Yeah, that's pretty good. I'll come out of there.

So I look at speaker. And then I look at SoundCloud. That's very strange.

Come on. Okay. I'm out of that.

Let's go to the main one. SoundCloud. Come out of there.

I'm going to have to sort out this squeaky desk. Because I'm concerned it's going to annoy my neighbours. They may not hear it, but they might.

I mean, I wouldn't be concerned if they couldn't hear it. So I'm thinking they might be able to hear it. And if they can hear it.

Then it's going to be a little bit annoying, I imagine. Okay, so I'll just And I don't know if this is I swear my eyes just don't work first thing in the morning. What? Okay, I just can't spell.

That's it, done it. Just had some weird dreams. As you do, or as I do.

Okay. Just strange old stuff. I was in a I was in India.

I don't know why India. Or somewhere like that. And I For some reason It was just really weird.

There's just one piece of it where I We were all stranded. Not just me, but loads of us. Stranded in this place.

As in No one had any money to pay to get out. Or for anywhere to stay. And Someone asked me if I could pay.

And it was going to cost Something like 10,000 Probably not pounds, but 10,000 something for each person. And I said, how many people are there? There's 10. And you want me to pay for all 10 people? Yeah.

So I'm like, okay. I don't know how that's going to happen. Because then I look at my wallet.

I think I agree to it. And then I look at my wallet. Or look inside my wallet.

Just looking at the wallet doesn't help. Looking inside, and I realise Ah No I don't have enough. Not for that.

And I go back and said, well, I can't. I can't spend. I can't do it.

They said, well, we need you to. You said you would. I'm adding a little bit extra.

Just for content. Yeah, content. And I thought about it, and I thought Oh, well, maybe Maybe I could transfer Oh yeah I had money going into my account.

So I could use that. But then I remembered that Because I'd gone over there Without telling my bank I wouldn't be able to use my card. Or chances are my card would get blocked.

Because they'd think it was fraud Being used in another country. So I said I explained this. And I said, I'm going to have to transfer my money To one of your other One of it in someone else's bank account.

And I thought, I know I'd do it with the same person that I know. So he was suddenly there. But he was using a telephone.

So I couldn't really talk to him at the time. And then Loads of people just Standing and Sitting around A big queue for the telephone. I was just thinking to myself You know, in the dream I'd go up and see my friend And just distract him I thought how funny that would be To just sit there Stand next to him And make faces.

And then I thought I realised it was a different person on the phone. And I thought Blimey, that's not my mate. What would that be like If I started walking up to him And just stand really close to him While he's on the phone and start making faces.

That could be awkward. And then I'll walk back And I'll flex in my muscles For some reason. And someone else is flexing their muscles For no reason.

But when I'm In my dreamland I have muscles. Thanks. Cheers.

And Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I finally find him And I say Oi Oi And I say I'm going to have to put my money into your bank. Because my bank doesn't know I'm here. And if I try and use my bank account For a big purchase like that Or just any purchase It'll just get blocked.

And he said Well, the bank don't know about mine either. I didn't tell them that I was coming here. Okay, brilliant.

But in the end I don't know who found somewhere For us to stay for the night. But it was these I don't know what it was I found it funny. But there was Yeah, I won't go into I won't say quite what it was But it wasn't pleasant.

And it was just these Little concrete things That we could stay in. And It was near the sea. And they're very weird.

And Then I wake up. Oh, here's another thing. I'm in a house.

And I decide To explore Other rooms In the house. And I'm just sticking my head in. Looking around.

And in getting out I'm not quite sure What this house was. I do have this memory of a house In my dreams. It's a big house and I go down in this little Like a little rockery A little Quite a big pond.

Not a big pond, but a nice Little area with a I suppose a goldfish pond Or something. It's a nice place To just go and think To be on my own. That's one of my dream places One of the places I visit When I'm asleep.

Not anywhere that I've been in real life I don't think. I've not really visited many nice places. I've not lived in any You know.

And then I'm back in the dream again This time. Well, I'm back in a different dream. Kind of.

And we're tidying up. And I think someone's angry with me Because I didn't pay out the money. Using a broom.

A brush broom. And I'm just Trying to tidy The floor of stuff. It's kind of like there's been a Party or something.

Yeah. There's I was just sweeping up. So this is the last bit of the dream.

But I can't really remember Anything that happened. But then I think As I was dreaming I was starting to Have a realization That maybe this is a metaphor for Clearing out The past. Which is weird Because I'm still asleep at this point When I'm thinking this.

So I'm observing myself In my own dream. Which is weird. Now I can't think of anything else That happened.

Or let's have a look At my Jason Newlands Boring group on Facebook. Which you can join if you like. So We've got a new member yesterday.

Which is kind of obvious. I suppose. Philomena writes down Thanks so much Because we are welcomed.

We've got welcome messages. Thank you so much. I've listened to Jason for ages.

But I didn't realise He had a Facebook page. Yeah, thank you. I did, yeah.

I don't know how long this has been going. This Facebook page. It's taken Absolutely years.

I've had it for a long time now. I do. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

Do you know what? I was making Yesterday I did a podcast That's basically just Thanking my listeners. I just thought It'd be nice to do that Not by name But by country, by town By city Just going through that. For both Spreaker and SoundCloud I just thought it'd be a nice thing To do, and that's what I did.

So I Come to make the image. And I decided I just want it to be simple. Just a few Flags From around the world And then I'll post a message on top.

Thank you for listening. It's really that simple. ChatGPT Really struggled with that.

First of all It just wouldn't make it The size I wanted Which was 1400 x 1200 It kept making a square And I don't want a square Because I've got my head in On my Images That led me To sleep Image So And then I couldn't believe it I'm going to open It up because I still can't Believe it Let's go down Okay, image Here we go Eventually it did do it But it still was the wrong size Okay Someone's outside It's 4. 35 Because I think it's okay to Shout out like that At 4.

35 in the morning And you might think Well it's not disturbing you No it's not disturbing me I'm thinking about other people It's not fair on them Well What are you bothered then?

It's about other people Just Consideration is so important to me I don't know why I really should just chill out But it is It's important Anyway I'm just moaning now So what I did is I went through Different countries And I don't know if you Mexico has got a The Mexican flag Has got It's like an eagle and a snake In the middle It's a green White and then red And some writing No not some But anyway it's basically an eagle I think it's an eagle and a snake So it's

an image Not most Most flags don't have images A few have got a little bit Most of it's just colours Generally But there's a few that have got I mean Japan is just A red dot On a white back Which is How did flags come about? Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Anyway So I I kept asking ChatGPT To make me the flag And I just wanted 9 flags I didn't even choose the flags Just 9 flags That's it on an image And it did it It kept doing it It kept doing it But it was the wrong size But it was doing the flags It was just Making it up as it went along Now the one it struggled with the most I mean first of all Anything that wasn't just colours It was doing it wrong So I did ask United States of America United Kingdom Canada Germany Australia New Zealand Mexico and Ireland How many is that?

1,2,3,4,5,6,7 That's 8 So I had one in the middle It was just Germany again I just want to get this right So the Mexican flag Image I just want to get it correct So I can see It's an eagle Holding a snake Standing on top of Looks like Christmas decorations I don't know Anyway it's an eagle You know what I ended up with?

The Mexican flag And I didn't even realise Until I magnified it I thought it got it right And I was about to use it Opened it up Wait a minute Right here we go I'll be honest I don't even know what it is This looks like a bowl of rice With some dumplings on Or A chocolate cake with some ice cream Really?

That's what they got That's how they come up with And then I did another one Which is pretty good They've got all the Christmas decoration Things on the bottom I don't know what they are Like flowery things But it looks like a mole Or a sleep I've never really Or actually it looks more like a hazelnut Bearing in mind I'm not asking for it to create something That doesn't exist So like I want An eagle Holding a worm or a snake Sitting on some You know Branches Or whatever they are

Underneath tinsel So it might look Not very good To start with But they're going to attempt To make an eagle That's what I'm saying This And it's an image That is being made up This is an image That's been around I'd argue for probably quite a few years Wow All I can say is Wow Wow, wow, wow Just trying to think Is there anything else In my dreams In my dreams I just thought It just seemed to be a nice thing to do Just to say thank you I know you

know Me talking about the stats and stuff Isn't usually exciting But it was more than that It really was a Thank you I keep repeating myself It was a thank you message Because The reality is I do appreciate Each and every one of you Don't tell anyone I don't like people to know That I've been nice But I I do Because without you Listening Why would I bother To make recordings Why Why would I need There'd be no point with that So yeah It's all about you It's It's important I

try I know I can't please everyone I know that So I'm gonna Not even attempt Maybe I do attempt To But I know it's A complete impossibility To ever Please everyone But I would like to please Someone Sometime At some point That'd be nice You know what I mean Ain't it Ain't it I'm trying to think if I had any other dreams Any other dreams Why's my email not coming up Oh well Let's have a look Nicole Kidman Apparently she's in the news For some reason Wow She's so older than me.

Blimey. I can't even remember the first time I saw Nicole Kidman.

Where was it? It was on a movie, it wasn't in the laundry. I can't remember, but my favourite, didn't she play, let's have a look, Nicole Kidman. I'm not going to try and remember.

She was in a ghost movie, which was brilliant. Personally, it was, I would say, in the same kind of category as The Sixth Sense. This is some of these, these are her highest grossing movies.

Eyes Wide Shut. I never watched that. I thought that was a complete shut out.

Didn't think it was very good, or very popular, I mean. Eyes Wide Shut. Mowlin' Rookie, Rauk, Mowlin' Rauk, The Hours, Dogville.

Why does that sound familiar to me? Nope. Cold Mountain, Birth. I don't know any of these.

I think what it is, is she doesn't, because I quite like comedies and she doesn't seem to really do much in the way of comedy. Quite serious stuff. Australia.

Nope. Didn't watch that. The Paperboy.

Nope. To Beguiled. Okay, Destroyer.

Nope. Bombshell. Nope.

Be in the Ricardos. Nope. So, I don't, I must have seen some of her stuff, other than that one movie.

That's gonna bug me, that is. She's made albums, or a spoken album. Why? That's very strange, they're not listing, they're not listing her movies.

Why are they not doing that? Isn't that what she's famous for? A British Academy Award. What's that? She's won an Academy Award, but a British Academy Award. BAF, never heard of those.

She was in BMX Bandits. BMX Bandits. Does anyone remember that movie? See, in the 80s.

I don't know when that was, what year was that? 1983. There was kind of two crazes, not necessarily separate, well separate could do different things, but there was BMXs and breakdancing. Breakdancing was huge, but there again, so was BMXing.

And so, there was Breakdance the movie, which was phenomenal. It wasn't, it wasn't necessarily a good storyline or anything like that, it was just, the dancing was so good. I think to reach an audience who are not into dancing is quite an accomplishment.

I still have no interest in dancing, but breakdancing is, even now I just find it like wow. It's very, it's visually extraordinary. Okay, Dead Calm.

I've seen that I think, but then she started being in films like Days of Thunder. I don't think, oh, To Die For. Why do I know that? It's a good, right, yeah, I saw that one.

Batman Forever, I would have seen that. Who did she play in Batman Forever? Okay, Batman Forever had Jim Carrey, Nicole, what's her name? Who we're talking about here? And what's his name as well, the other bloke? See, it's really weird. Just, just, I know some of these actors that were just so vibrant and full of energy and charismatic and they're just old now.

It's weird. Practical Magic. Romantic, no, it's not, I don't do romantic movies.

Eyes Wide Shut, wasn't it just a weird movie? Okay, and it's got Cruise, Tom Cruise. I, no, sorry. Just, yeah, I never watched it.

I don't think I'm ever going to watch it. Moulin Rouge, Moulin Rouge, another romantic, I don't, I'll tell you what it is. Romantic dramas, no, don't do it.

I just, just not my thing. The Hours, psychological period drama, no. The Others 2001, great movie.

I'm not sure all the others are possibly great movies, but I, yeah, not bothered. The Others, and I can't believe it's 24 years ago. The Others, absolutely fantastic.

If you haven't seen it, then if you like a bit of a little ghost story, then have a, you know, listen. It's very, very good. Then you've got Cold Mountain, another serious movie.

The Golden Compass. I, I did watch it, I don't think, I'm not sure if I liked it or not. Australia, nope.

Paddington, I've seen Paddington, I think. Rabbit Hole, um, right, okay. Again, she's a serious actor, really.

I, why did I think she was in, um, Bewitched? I thought she was in Bewitched. Bewitched movie cast. She was in Bewitched.

Nicole Kidman. Blimey, she was. I liked her in that.

Isabel Bigelow and Samantha. Why's she got two names? Michael Caine's Nigel Bigelow. I don't know anyone.

Oh, why has it done that? I was looking at that. Oh, you're just telling me something that was interesting and it's come out. So she's, you know, I like the fact she did something a bit a bit cookie, a bit strange, a bit different compared to what she normally does.

Yeah, I was just about to say that she was in a, something to do, like an HBO thing, but I can't find it now. Thanks. Thank you.

Disappeared. Anyway, she's been in loads of movies. Loads and loads and loads.

But for some reason it's not giving me a list of movies like it normally does. And I don't know why. I don't know why.

I'm perplexed as to the reason for the emission of her movies, the list of her movies. Come on. That's really strange.

All I do is list in a few. House. That's very weird.

Unless it's coming up discography. Something stupid with Robin Williams. So she wrote, she sang in a song with Robin Williams, Robbie Williams in 2001.

I tell you what. Oh man, what was it? The dinosaur song. There was a dinosaur song and it had a really famous actress in it.

It was someone's very famous. I saw a dinosaur. No, something like that.

I'm going to go for 1993. Nope. 1994.

1992 then. It's just not coming up. Why? Okay.

Dinosaurs. 1992. Nope.

Big things. I saw a dinosaur. But it had someone famous in it.

Um, dinosaur. Okay. 10 songs.

Dinosaur in some titles. Let's have a look. Here we go.

I think I found one. Walk, Walk the Dinosaur. Walk.

I think this might be it. Walk the Dinosaur. Oh, Walk the Dinosaur.

Yeah. No, that's probably not it. But let's have a look.

Oh, really? I've just copied it and it's not copied. Song. Walk the Dinosaur.

Performed by Queen Queen Latifah. No, it had a famous person in it. I know Queen Latifah but it's from like 19... 1987.

Was not was. 1987. I remember it being in the 90s.

But it had a famous actress in it. Really, really famous Hollywood actress. Or model.

Ah, okay. Famous model. Walk the Dinosaur.

Walk the Dinosaur. Yeah. Walk the Dinosaur.

No. Was not was. How? How? That's what I don't understand.

I don't get it. Because I honestly, I remember it being in the 90s. But it's not got... I honestly don't remember it being in the 90s.

But it hasn't got anything about the singer. I walked the Dinosaur. The Dinosaur song.

Walk the Dinosaur. This is going to bug me. Really? 11 best songs about dinosaurs.

Kingu. Whoa. This is rubbish.

Alice in Chains. The Devil. Johnny Cash.

The Dinosaur song. No. Oh, the internet's rubbish sometimes.

This is a rubbish page. Do Goombas know? Was not was just sounds correct. And it's strange, isn't it? That's really going to bug me.

Bug me. Bug me. Bug me.

Okay. So 44 songs about dinosaurs. Who would have thought? Christian songs about dinosaurs.

That kind of surprises me that there would be a Christian song about dinosaurs. When technically, when they potentially not believe in dinosaurs. I don't care how much evidence there is.

I will not believe it. Right. I'm just going through it.

I'm determined to find it. Dinosaurs by Keisha. Okay.

That's a. Oh, that's about calling men dinosaurs. You're just a dinosaur. I, Reptile.

No. 2005. Walk the Dinosaur.

Oh, that's annoying me now. Because there was a. Oh, I can even kind of see her face. This, the lady.

And it was early 90s. Dinosaur Junior by Dinosaur Junior. Okay.

I'm pretty certain. That there'd be information, especially if it's why would it be to almost like forgotten was not was. What's up, dog? Okay.

Okay. Unless they did it. I mean, maybe it definitely was about dinosaurs.

The dino rap by high dinos kids songs. That's really. Annoying.

Who was it who did that? Maybe it was an actress or a model, but it's in the 90s and she was a big name. Oh, it was a really good song. Yeah, it seems to have been forgotten.

In fact, I think it might have even got to number one. Oh, well, it's getting time for me to get myself some munch munch some food breakfast. I've been talking for nearly an hour and I don't know what I've really said.

Not much. Oh, well, so thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself.

You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love. Bye.
