[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to JasonNewland.com My name is Jason Newland Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes This is Let me bore you to sleep It is Monday's Boring Objects So I'm just checking the stats from my website So today's Monday the 14th of April 2025
[00:00:36] I just see I did have a message from Rich saying Jason thanks for all the help in putting me to sleep You're so boring Thanks especially for the Sunday papers I love that One thing I noticed and it may be unique to me is the volume of your podcast seems low I listen I'm listening using a sleep mask with built-in speakers and I turned
[00:01:08] down a volume with the advert but then I have to maximize the volume when you speak That is Yeah I don't think it's just you I think I've had said before It's weird because the recording equipment I got I have tried to increase the volume this time but sometimes in editing it doesn't sound so good when it's increased
[00:01:40] like the background sound like the background sound is a little bit distorted and I tried to do it so there's no fuzz or buzz or anything like that and I know I've got Vinny in the background doing whatever he does and there's I've got the window open so there's the birds and maybe a bit of wind and possibly the neighbors but it's the kind of electronic staticky sound that I don't want
[00:02:11] and yeah so it's the kind of electronic staticky sound that I don't want to make it so it's quite a hard one to maneuver and the adverts don't always play and I know that they're only ever at the very very beginning so they're not in the middle and they're not at the end but it's you know it's they don't play that often
[00:02:33] it's like I don't know why why the adverts have to be louder than the actual recording it's the same with TV as well isn't it you know watch TV suddenly adverts come on and wakes you up so yeah I mean I've tried to increase the volume but it might increase the volume of the
[00:03:01] I don't know I've tried to increase the volume anyway today and see if it comes out a bit better and I'll leave it at this volume anything louder than this seems to be a bit distorted and I don't want it to be distorted ironically if I make a video of myself the volume seems to be a bit louder naturally but then I've got to be on camera and I don't want to be on camera
[00:03:31] this is one of those things you know and so thanks Rich I'm just going to put a note there I have addressed your post your comment I addressed this issue in latest in today's
[00:03:55] today's let me bore you to sleep and boring objects soon to be released to be released so yeah it's there's always obstacles in a way of these things like
[00:04:24] I want it to sound clear but at the same time it's I don't want it to be too loud I mean you know the volume can be changed on the side of the listener I mean I'd have to turn it up if I was listening as well and I try and make it so the volume goes down as the recording goes along
[00:04:54] if yeah it's a bit of a all constantly tinkering with it trying to make changes and I'm generally near the microphone I mean sometimes I do move away from the microphone when I'm talking to Vinny and but most of the time I'm kind of I'm not the microphone's not in my mouth which it used to be in the past I used to have the microphone really close
[00:05:23] constantly banging into it so the microphone's I'm trying to measure it with my finger so I mean it's probably about 40 inches away okay maybe 3 inches away but you know for me at our class that's 40 inches but it should be fairly close yeah it's
[00:05:51] it's one of those things I try and make it sound okay I really do I really do I do I do I do oh just to let you know your payment is waiting the amount of stuff I get rubbish emails but today I've got my first my first Q&A Friday question from my website excited
[00:06:21] that's from Anne I won't tell you what it is until Friday so this is my new thing I've done on my website jasonnewland.com at the very top of the page you know when you've gone the home page above the newest recordings there's a little form you can just fill in if you've got a question for the next Q&A Friday there's also a page on its own which you can click on as well which is let's have a look
[00:06:50] yeah it's in the menu Q&A Friday questions then ask me anything Q&A Friday submission so what I'm going to do is when I I'm going to store them in a folder on my email when I've answered a question I'll mark them down as answered so however many questions I get between now and when I do the recording on Friday
[00:07:19] that's the questions I will answer and then I'll start again from scratch from then onwards until the next Friday also I've got a YouTube channel I've been uploading every single new recording that I do now including all the different length ones it's it's not going to go down hugely well with some people that subscribed but I'm kind of thinking
[00:07:48] more of future subscribers because it's just it's another place you can listen to all of my all my recordings all my new recordings so each recording six different versions I just thought it would be useful for those that maybe for whatever reason want to listen on YouTube so it gives it's more options that's all
[00:08:19] so yeah so I'm a little bit behind on having them public so the last one I got scheduled is for tomorrow at six o'clock and that was yesterday's Sunday's papers so yeah the one I did do a let me bore your pain away earlier number 22
[00:08:47] and that will be uploaded to YouTube so this recording probably won't be on YouTube until probably like one o'clock in the morning on the 16th so that'll be what Wednesday so it's a little bit of a lag but I'll catch up because you know
[00:09:17] once once I stop making so many recordings every day and I have a break maybe I'll go a few days without doing anything it will then catch up with itself and that is very likely to happen because it normally does but you know never know Jackie also wrote me a comment saying I so love and so appreciate how you can completely leave politics alone
[00:09:47] when you talk to us folks it means a lot and you know that we we know that you know exactly what we know and how much we all are yeah so we all kind of know what's going on in the world but I don't need to talk about it really do I so thanks Jackie I just I do leave politics out I might do the occasional mention mention sometimes but usually I will stick to my own country
[00:10:17] you know stick to what I know about and I know a little bit about the politics in this country I can't I'm not going to be one of those people that gives a big commentary on another another country's politics just like nah I don't do about my own country but just I'm keeping well away from that there's plenty plenty of that online already that I don't need to be part of that
[00:10:48] these recordings are really supposed to be they're supposed to be relaxing and calm and peaceful I've also got the Facebook group Jason Newland's boring group I've had a couple of new members join recently the latest ones Rich and then yesterday had
[00:11:17] Jonathan so welcome Jonathan 20 hours ago joined so welcome Jonathan to this group I'm sure Jonathan did he posted a message on here what is it okay thank you Jason oh Jason Newland hypnotist has gotten me through some rough times
[00:11:47] well thanks Jonathan I really appreciate that it's nice to hear you know it's I'd get I'd get a bit of feedback sometimes but it's nice it's I never get fed up with positive feedback ever I'll be honest with you it's always get a little bit of a buzz it's one of my favorite I mean sometimes I'll be in a right little just a little bit of a
[00:12:17] grump you know maybe feeling sorry for myself and I stick my phone you know look at my phone look at the emails or in Facebook or something messages and I see someone's posted a message and it's like oh and one of the nicest messages I ever got and I've had well I've probably had thousands actually over the years I mean I've been doing this for about 75 years now I got
[00:12:47] this message on what was that it wasn't an app but it was a like an email thing and I'm talking like 90 like 2000 and probably 2009 2008 2009 I forget what it was but I had this message from this young lad I don't know how young he was but he sent me a message and he said
[00:13:20] thank you oh I just want to thank you you don't know who I am but my mum listened to you every day for the last three years of her life and it helped her a lot to get through what she was going through thank you and that was it it's like wow I don't know who he was don't know who the mother was but it was someone it wasn't on Facebook it was on a kind
[00:13:49] of another another way of communication online and it wasn't Grindr it was it was I don't know where I can't think MSN is that was that was that a thing MSN SM but that's just phenomenal it's like wow wow so yeah I've had some really lovely comments over the years
[00:14:20] and I can never get enough of them really I'm not saying this because yeah I am I'm sad because I want more comments I was about to say I'm not saying it because I want more yeah I do yeah I wonder if I've saved any though have I new contact forms Q&A Friday archive what's the archive catch no 17th and 9th
[00:14:50] 2000 I tell you what's I don't know if it's strange or not but sometimes I get people that I've never never really spoken to before will contact me and say thank you so I've got one here from Deborah thank you for your services I've been listening for several years and it's helped me get through a chronic illness I would love to
[00:15:19] hear by email if you're willing that you got this message so wow when that was 17th of September 2024 and I've never heard from Deborah since I don't think unless I have in that case I'm sorry sort by date
[00:15:49] sort by date oldest on top let me have a see this only goes back to 2024 which makes me wonder so if I get rid of some of these
[00:16:13] what have got any messages on here that's going to bug me now I must have gone through one of those periods when I just deleted all the stuff now thinking oh I wish I'd kept it
[00:16:42] and I could have read it out so had a lovely lovely lovely interruption from Vinnie shouting very loud I've just found some website messages going back to 2019 so let's have a look this is from K
[00:17:12] it was Saturday 21st of September 2019 by the way when I read a message out I only I never include personal information okay so just let you know that hi Jason just want to drop you a message to say thank you the bore you to sleep podcasts are the only thing in 20 years that helped me I could
[00:17:41] write and ramble on about why and how they help I'm just I'm laughing at the rambling because what I do isn't it but in short a number of hypnotists professionals and meditation classes all just do not help me and the more I'm told to or try to relax and focus the more I don't for some strange reason your podcast
[00:18:37] standing for the podcasts I think I've got the right sort of thing that not only interest any what did I say to you I will start singing Christmas carols to you and you will not be happy because that door's closed you can't get out you'll be looking at the window you will be thinking oh what's worse the fall from the window or listening to him singing
[00:19:07] so come on you don't want me so if it's the wrong sort of thing please just enjoy it personally or pass it on to someone who can take some enjoyment from it I'll do a testimony at some
[00:19:56] email address k at bingbong dot com wow so yeah thank you that's lovely that's a long time ago though I mean 2019 I don't even know if k is still listening by the way I was making up the address and stuff just in case she didn't get it the next one's from
[00:20:25] Doreen I'm going to what did say Doreen like that I hope I replied hi I'm going through the agony of my son being in jail the anxiety I felt has hit
[00:21:01] I know I replied on the 5th of the 10th it was sent the 26th of the 9th why did I leave it so long to reply no so I'm saying thank you to people but it's a long time ago hopefully everything's okay with you this is Kerry who was the first person from I've been listening to your podcast every night this was
[00:21:31] from Saturday 28th of the night 2019 I've been listening to your podcast every night and they really helped me fall asleep easily I I'll be listening to you for about 8 months apart from the sleeping I also think your stress and anxiety podcasts is very smart and I agree with you
[00:22:01] and I was wondering if I could request you to do a session on compulsive hand washing I've had OCD for most of my life and I self manage it on my own without medication however some days are tough I appreciate what you do for people like me who like alternative remedies for sleeping and beating anxiety and I hope that I did do that recording
[00:22:32] I must have done I wouldn't have ignored it and she did send another message as well hi Jason I listen to podcasts every night and I find them really helpful in relaxing me to sleep thank you so much for what you do I know we live so far away from each other but hearing your voice each night makes you feel like we are somehow connected Kerry in New York so
[00:23:01] if you're still listening thank you thank you for listening still I mean I don't know if I've been doing these for so long now especially the let me bore you to sleep maybe the novelty has so I don't know but if you are still
[00:23:31] listening thank you and if you're a new listener thank you thank you for listening because that's why I do it that's why I do it and this is Jason's boring objects Monday's boring objects so I'm going to talk about messages I've received that's the boring objects I'm going to be talking about I didn't know I was going to be doing that but it seems like I am Charlie sent me a message on
[00:24:02] 30th of September 2019 hi Jason I just discovered more of your episodes on Spotify after a quick search previously I thanks for doing what you do I've always had problems sleeping pills work great but not something to rely on
[00:24:31] your podcast is amazing just focusing on your voice makes me drift off and wake in the morning amazed that I slept so easily and at times they're rather funny so thanks very much from New Zealand thank you Charlie so that was 30th of September 2019
[00:25:02] so I got another message here hi Jason love your let me bore you to sleep podcasts this is from Mary still a current regular listener so blimey Mary you've been listening for years years and years and years they're so relaxing and very funny love hearing about Andre tonight you're reading from closer magazine which was hilarious
[00:25:33] why did you spend £1.85 on it and did you know that you're rubbish at geography oh I've noticed that keep up the good work thank you I've never been when I was at school it's hard to believe I ever went to school but I did not just because it's so long ago like did they really have schools back in them days but I am so
[00:26:03] ignorant to most things I really don't know much about stuff I'll make it up if I don't know what the answer in the schools just they can't you know they
[00:26:33] don't use their brains anymore when I was at school we used to have an abacus and we count stuff on the abacus like yeah fair enough that was then and I didn't really have an up to date argument an argument for like not up to date but like as an example of something in the past but apparently oh who was it who was it
[00:27:03] and oh it's very famous American famous who in court said he had people a lot of the really successful
[00:27:32] Benjamin Franklin I think it might be Benjamin Franklin although I'm not a little bit I've got a little bit of an issue with Benjamin if I'm honest I'll tell you what in a minute Benjamin Franklin was a writer investor scientist no it couldn't have been him it might have been
[00:28:06] Ed not Edwin the light bulb
[00:28:39] man Ed it was and I don't know if it's true or not but he said I don't need I need to have that stuff in my head I've got I've got a hundred different people I can ask around me so I don't need to hold stuff in my head like that and I kind of feel the same way apart from I don't have a hundred people to
[00:29:09] ask and it's not really the reason why I don't have it huge deal you know for the influential
[00:29:39] for his time in all kinds of things he was a statesman inventor scientist writer I'm reading this off the screen by the way diplomat printer publisher and political philosopher I if I put it in and he set hypnosis back right so
[00:30:10] it's really interesting I find how the connections between different people like Freud and hypnosis NLP and hypnosis so psychotherapy wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for hypnosis it's just weird it's just the whole thing so hypnosis okay let's have a look
[00:30:40] how Benjamin Franklin used hypnotic language no that's not the one I want the Franklin commission report Franklin had a higher degree of personal involvement with and more detailed opinion of mesmerism of mesmerism that has been previously appreciated so my understanding is that
[00:31:10] what's his name let's have a look where Franklin right it wasn't called the Franklin commission was it so measure Benjamin Franklin
[00:31:41] did it did French friends mesmer was pretty much the pioneer of it was called mesmerism animal magnetism magnetism and then ended up being called hypnosis and Benjamin Franklin and a few other people all got together and decided they were going to study it because he was almost
[00:32:13] mesmer was almost kind of like doing magic and he was in high society and they didn't like it they didn't like that he was helped I don't know what they didn't like maybe because they couldn't explain it so they went into you know got together decided after studying it and made up the opinion if I'm
[00:32:43] correct that it was just suggestion and people were just going along with it or it was like a placebo and there was nothing I mean to be fair what he thought and what hypnosis is is completely different anyway because you know hypnotists now don't
[00:33:13] think it's animal magnetism or any kind of magnetism really but because of that I think it got banned again I'm kind of partially making it up I mean I read a whole book on it once but not hypnosis but on mesmerism and all that stuff a long time ago I mean how far back do you want to go you know it's good to
[00:33:59] pretty much any therapist today whether it's cognitive behavioural therapy whether it's whatever originated from hypnosis because Frood and his colleague well actually his colleague was doing hypnosis with someone
[00:34:25] he got an app reaction and they didn't really know what app reactions was back then and I think I don't know if it's the story he was trying to hypnotise this lady and it wasn't working so he just talked to her and let her talk
[00:35:10] and he said he darling and yeah Brewer was it Brewer is that his name so that's kind of also Freud did do hypnosis himself and there's lots of different theories why he stopped doing it one was that one of his patients jumped on him in the middle of a session and
[00:35:54] for the people to hear I mean none of those might be true really don't know I don't think it
[00:36:29] it there's a lot more money in it if you can not keep it going I don't mean it in that way but it's and you can go deeper and deeper with the I think it's just it's for me I
[00:37:02] I remember I did I got some psychotherapy for the personality disorder and a psychologist offered me a year's worth of psychotherapy I said can I have it all in one weekend and she said no we laughed can send it in the post no can't send it in the post she didn't laugh at that one and so we did it we ended up doing about a year and a
[00:37:31] the problem is so it was booked to start at the beginning of 2015 at the very end of 2014 I lost my nan so I ended up talking about first of
[00:38:01] I so I kind I I the sessions but I think I possibly focused on the wrong things maybe not all the time there was definitely some help and I wish I could have continued it
[00:38:41] 30 years or something that's all just till I'm 90 and that would be 40 years no it wouldn't be god blimey there'd be 35 years and a few
[00:39:16] hey I mean how do you I don't know how would you have a conversation with them it be just I don't know I don't know if I I've forgotten how to flirt anyway but when I'm 90 will I even know I mean I have so little contact with humors I wouldn't would I even know how to talk to someone I I'm 90 you know she be going yeah I'm
[00:39:46] 85 you know that would be it just a conversation over and over again maybe but by the time 90 the technology was so advanced that I reckon people will be able to live to about 150 if not longer oh yes that's what I think oh yes oh yes oh yes anyway so that's
[00:40:15] why how did I get talking about Mesmer and Franklin Benjamin Franklin I don't understand I don't know how I got there um I ex on crap at geography rubbish at that led me to talk about Benjamin Franklin that is a bit strange yeah yeah geography wasn't really my thing
[00:40:47] wasn't really my thing it was I did do geography I mean I did go to the classes but I don't really I mildly recollect some of the rivers I mildly reconnect reconnect recollect some of the yeah probably some of the
[00:41:16] countries you know we've colored in areas and different countries and that and I actually thought the countries were that color but it was just for the map I kind of remember the mountains but that's where geography history kind of mixed together a little bit because you've got the
[00:41:46] you kind of need to know both they both fit together very very tightly don't they in a sense of you've got the history of somewhere but then the geography it makes more sense if if you're talking about or learning about Scotland for example you've got
[00:42:16] the geography of the place but also it'd be good to have the history as well Vinnie why are you whining why are you whining why why are you whining darling he wants something I've got I've got this do you want this do you want that if I chuck it over there you'll probably want it wouldn't you okay ready
[00:42:46] he wants it if he can't have it let's have a look any more messages no sent items how far back does that go
[00:43:23] right um this is a message left on my website oh this is from someone called leaf
[00:43:52] so I don't get the original thing okay oh okay I got one from Cara here I've fallen oh this was from 2024 15th March
[00:44:19] and I've fallen about five or more episodes behind on listening to your newest recordings but I want to know I want you to know that I recently listened to your episode titled transcribing and was deeply moved by the description of your current friendship situation uh when was that Friday 2024 March
[00:44:49] oh yeah yeah I remember now I won't read the rest of it um yeah that was uh after my friend so yeah okay let's have a look see if there's any sent items sent items no subjects
[00:45:24] oh okay this is sent so there's a lot of stuff from people I can't read it it's like personal personal not personal personal but personal ish no subject I went to my doctors to have a prostate exam and the doctor said to me Mr. Newland you
[00:45:53] don't have to hold it open so oh blood what it's me sending myself jokes okay right just moving I can't believe I read that out sorry be gentle and kind with it treat it with tender loving care
[00:46:25] right no I can't read that out last time I last time I saw a leg like that it was in a zoo it's not a good chat up line why I even bothered why I think I must have read these into the thing which is a bit silly
[00:46:44] so I want to get myself a dick tation on those dictate are they called dick dictaphones dictation dick record do you know they used to I mean they used to have like used to
[00:47:13] actually be little tape recorders I used to have one years ago 1991 I used to record myself on stage but you could also get bigger ones with the normal size tapes but I would like if I can I've also had a digital I've had a few digital ones over the years but I want to get myself another one because I know I can do it on my phone but I don't have I don't take my phone out with me all the
[00:47:43] time I don't have it on me sometimes I'm band because what I was thinking on a Saturday I'd do a Saturday summery when I come to do the Saturday summery I can't remember a single thing that happened throughout the week I mean last week to be fair it was just me making recordings
[00:48:13] and sleeping and pooping and eating it was like it wasn't taking him out there weren't a lot going on last week except a lot going on but not a lot to talk about but like something happened today I just remembered it I've got a little fascination with birds of prey I can't help it I just do I love birds generally not a
[00:48:43] big fan of seagulls but I had an incident with a seagull once that's going to get your mind going isn't it and it's I just yeah I see a seagull really behaving badly about 20 years ago I mean I know you can't you can't like you can't judge a whole race of birds just because
[00:49:13] of what one or two birds do but there's something about like the sound they make where they're flying it sounds like they're scared of heights just and they're so big so big anyway but I mean I've got an issue with big birds because I like I like a big bird
[00:49:44] I think I mean I don't think they're eagles because we don't really not really an eagle country I think you have eagles in Scotland but I don't think there's eagles here in the wild there might be and I was asking a friend someone I know that's a real big bird lover is my friend's husband and he said it might be a kestrel or something hawk
[00:50:17] ok I'm going back I need to go back because I'm talking about something that happened last year and then something happened today last year there was this bird that was so elegant elegant and eloquent I'm not quite sure what the difference is between those words they sound very similar so majestic beautiful in a way that I
[00:50:47] just can't I don't know it's not that I want to fly it's just something about them that just I kind of just can't take my eyes off it you know it's it's a little bit I don't know you know if I took Vinnie out dressed as a pig you know with a little little pig face and maybe
[00:51:17] Kermit like on his back wobbling around it would be you know people would look they wouldn't be able to not look would they and it's a little bit like that I can't I'm not saying that the hawk looked like a wasn't dressed as a pig and Kermit was nowhere to be seen I think frogs would keep away from hawks to be fair mind you you'd think they'd keep away from pigs I mean it's not really a match is it
[00:51:47] you know it's there's there's there's something a little bit sus about that relationship but hey perhaps we have to go back about 40 years that's a long time ago I think she's moved on by the way if you like really adult comedy movies and you like the
[00:52:17] Muppets there's a movie you may not you may have heard of it Vinny leave me alone please mate you don't need anything I know you don't you're hassling me do you need a toilet if you need a wee wee we can go to the toilet outside if you want but I think you're hassling me just because I'm not giving you attention yet when I'm with you and not making a recording you don't even want my attention
[00:52:47] do you that's distracted me now I had no idea what I was talking about what what is it what what do you want Vin he's just sitting on his bum just staring at me what do you want you know I
[00:53:24] Vinny right I think I need to take him out to the toilet I'll be back in a minute you want to go toilet right I am back from taking Vinny into the garden for a wee wee I don't think he even needed it really I think he was just humor in me I don't really know what he wanted
[00:53:54] anyway what I was talking about big birds and a dick dictator what are they called dictamashie dictare recorders I mean originally they were you know it came from Edison the Edison dicta thing let me have a look I wonder how they came up with that word Edison
[00:54:25] dictation machine so Edison the Edison dictating machine was a phonograph that could record and play back sound on wax cylinders it was invented by Thomas Edison in 1887 and was initially used as a dictation machine for offices later it became a popular form of entertainment and Edison sold many recordings to the public the
[00:54:55] Edison phonograph competed with the Columbia dictaphone which also used wax cylinders ah okay I wonder what it's called dictaphone anyway I need one of them I need to get a small one something small in my hand that I can carry around or just have in my pocket when I have an idea
[00:55:25] or when something happens just something it doesn't have to be well ideally not exciting unlikely to be exciting I can just record it and then I can just have it all transcribed or something at the end of the week then I'll know what I've done just to remind me what I've done and you know yeah
[00:55:54] that wasn't quite as exciting as I thought it was going to be okay so so this is bird bird a big bird of prey I don't know how big the bird is because it's high up but the wingspan is large very elegant beautiful thing brown like red brown
[00:56:27] and I just well I discovered them last year I didn't discover them I mean they existed before I saw them with my own eyes but I didn't see them until last year and I saw them and I say them because there's two of them there was one and I thought and it go to the right of me and go over the tree to the right of me then I see it again to the left of me coming over the trees and like wow what kind of magic is this it turned out it's two different birds but I think
[00:56:56] they're married I think so I'd watch them so nicely just gliding for around and flying and all that stuff especially on a blue sky day it's lovely well today I think I saw them for the first time this year I might have seen them before but I don't recall it
[00:57:27] this time it was different I saw one being chased by a black bird I don't know if it was a black bird it was I it was a lot smaller than the hawk or whatever bird of prey it was this bird was screeching at it and
[00:57:57] was chasing it trying to get to it and the bird of prey was moving around it was like the opposite to what you expect to see in the sky then he stopped staring at you been out you had your little T T and you had your food don't know what else I can do I know you will probably want to just settle down don't you and have a cuddle
[00:58:27] watch telly and stuff but give me a little while I'm busy I'm actually busy I'm talking about something very interesting I'm telling an exciting story about a big bird being chased by a little bird yeah and I was like wow never seen the big bird flew off
[00:58:56] and the little bird like you couldn't catch it and the little bird just flew
[00:59:26] that was just weird I don't know what the argument was over but this little bird and I thought you know what that's that's a gutsy bird considering I suppose in flight it has a I suppose on the ground it wouldn't probably have much chance because the other bird is probably three times bigger than it but in the sky
[00:59:56] I suppose every bird has got a chance I would say seagulls wind span is probably bigger than these birds but some seagulls are huge absolute monsters so yeah it was weird just seeing a little bird chasing a big bird and then chasing the other big bird and I don't know what it was about and you can't ask them
[01:00:25] you know you can't knock on these trees like excuse me I just noticed earlier you were having a bit of a row a bit of an argument I was wondering what started it do you fancy a chat are you okay you know it's just weird but it was fascinating to watch I still love the big birds there's something about them it's relaxing
[01:00:54] to watch them gliding through the sky I find it relaxing yeah it's nice well that's what happened today that was pretty much the highlight of the day why am I telling you that probably because I would have written that down or kept a log of that
[01:01:24] so I'm just having a look see what other messages I've got so these are just me replying okay alright um I've just seen something I sent someone that's quite funny I've not got much of this stuff out have I I'm trying to get this out and
[01:01:55] yeah I'm not I can't find all I've got is replies that I've sent to people but I've not got the original messages new contact form entry okay so let's have a look at that new contact form have I read these out before I'm not reading that
[01:02:25] out blimey sometimes I test I test the if I do a new form on my website I test it and I all right this was from first of first of um july last
[01:02:55] year what motivates you to do the sleep podcasts how do you get back to sleep if you wake up in the night I urinate that generally sometimes you know I natural or anything but I don't talk about you know doing anything weird out the window I sometimes from when I'm asleep I'm thinking about needing
[01:03:25] a wee wee and in my dreams I'm looking for somewhere to go for a wee wee then I wake up I need it I need to get up and go for a wee wee but then sometimes I'm there and Vinny's cuddled up to me and I know that if I move he'll move away and wake him up I don't want to disturb him because I just like it because he doesn't cuddle up to me when I'm awake
[01:03:56] so some of these are questions for the Q&A Friday this is from Ing thank you so much for your efforts for the podcast it's so effective that I can listen for a maximum 15 minutes last night you once again saved me from lying awake after night I love hearing about Vinnie I have a dog myself this was from 5th December last year thanks Ing I'm writing from Germany
[01:04:26] from the borders triangles with the Netherlands and Belgium I've never been to Germany but I have been to the Netherlands and Belgium went to Amsterdam and I that was 2002 I think that was like November time and I've been to Belgium I think 3
[01:04:56] 4 times alright so some of these things these are questions I had for yeah recently so I probably read this out this is right this is just a someone it's like trying to sell something to me this is from Carolina
[01:05:26] thank you your sleep podcast helped me immensely I'm going through a really difficult time at the moment could you recommend a dear how much comfort you bring and your company thank you did I do a recording for you
[01:05:56] I did blimey I actually did a recording hi Carolina or Carolina I'm still not sure which way to spell it to say it rather thanks to your message I'm glad my recordings are useful I've made a recording based on your request so I did a recording called and it's requested for Carolina hypnosis for low mood self esteem and helplessness 3rd February 2025 I wonder if I've still got it I wonder if it's
[01:06:26] on my my podcast of requested they've got a podcast of requests requests requests where is it requested recordings okay let's go back press the wrong I trying to find the right place okay so this is really I don't
[01:06:56] seem to have it oh yes I do request for February 2025 requested for Carolina 52 minutes 34 seconds long oh cool have I got that podcast on my website though that's the question that probably no one's asking but I'm going to ask it because I don't know reviews podcasts nope so if I go
[01:07:25] to my podcast I'm going to make that change right now because I've done quite a few requests on that podcast there are there are there are there are episodes um okay so 27 26 25 there's 25 different
[01:07:55] requests that I've got there's probably a few more that I need to add as well so 25 25 different um requests over the years so what I need to do is add that to my website and put it in the menu so where is it where is it where is it where is it it's hiding that's because I haven't gone down
[01:08:25] need to go down that's wonder if I've got it in the pages section requests requests requests requests requests requests requested recordings in fact maybe I've got it in my podcasts I might have possible in the lists requests requests requests requests no so
[01:08:55] what I need to do is add that in there so let's add podcast settings the RSS settings copy and then post that add a podcast post it in import podcast that should now be added in the next few seconds requested be at the bottom on it so I need to go down again
[01:09:25] go down requested recordings now what I need to do is if I'll just copy that go to pages create a page new page requested recordings and well I just had another interruption
[01:09:55] this time from a neighbor phoning me wanting me to have a look at his kitchen so I went in and looked at his kitchen it's really nice they've done a lot of stuff and all the cabinets are in all the tiling on the walls I think he needs all it needs to be done now the kitchen sinks all connected I think all it needs now is the flooring
[01:10:26] and the decorating so I guess the wall is going to be painted and then I have a new floor and that will be it so it might be another two weeks before it all completed I got no idea what I what was I talking about podcasts podcasts podcasts
[01:10:58] so I need to man I generally don't know I've forgotten how I do it it's been so long since I did this which is weird because it shouldn't really be that difficult but it's been a few weeks since I did anything on here as far as making
[01:11:29] this kind of page podcasts episodes maybe that's what it is it's episodes so if get rid of that add episodes episodes episodes episodes episodes episodes so I click on to be specific
[01:11:58] about what type of episodes I'm going to have in here so let's have a look does it or not oh I know what I need to do I know requested recordings so episodes sort by description
[01:12:27] I remember now your podcast filter requested recordings see if that works requested recordings yes I did it so requested recordings no that didn't work at all so what I need to do is just update it go back to the pages
[01:12:58] go back to no go back to the podcast rather and find out what the what the thing is for that go back this would be more well might be more interesting if you could actually see so edit podcast oh it is requested recordings but there was it's the slug they call it but there's
[01:13:28] a dash in between so if I go back to pages edit requested recordings click on that go down and does it say slug does it say slug requested episode filter episode category filter I think it's that
[01:13:58] that should be it is done it and yes all the requested ones so all of those recordings are now on that page which is I would say pretty groovy so what I need to do now now that I've saved that I'll go back to add in customize
[01:14:30] headings navigation links add a new navigation add item requested recordings save and it's there it's done done done done done done done done done done so go to jasonnewland.com requested recordings in the menu and pretty much all the requested
[01:14:59] recordings are on there that's weird but they're coming up very very why is it coming up like that it's coming up but it's almost the writing is very tiny it might just be a blip why is it doing that wasn't doing it before was not doing it before save all
[01:15:30] go back requested recordings edit yeah that's very strange don't know what it's doing next it's not doing it on my one let's go back oh why is it doing that there's no reason for that it's working perfectly well on let's see what's it
[01:16:15] there that's really strange but on my website on the laptop it's coming up is almost like don't get it I don't get it oh well it might just be the browser that's very strange so let's say how many
[01:16:46] alright so that was Carolina Leah Kenneth Gnome so I've got a message this is 1st of April 2025 hello you've been helping me relax during my struggles with staying asleep and I really appreciate it heard the pushing out of the
[01:17:16] negative thinking sequence last night and it's so helpful kudos to you the long form with ads only in the beginning makes such even on YouTube only at the beginning and your voice isn't forced in sound and relaxing like so many others seems like the only
[01:17:46] one out there like this I like everything I heard except the message okay there's one that you didn't like it's that's the thing there's always something it is quite hard it it's like a vague because I did a massage one I don't even remember doing that but that wasn't for everyone and
[01:18:15] it's yeah I try I suppose that's why that's part of the reason why I do so many different types of recordings that was Vinnie flapping his ears I don't know why he had to make so much noise considering he's so small that was a lot of hello Jason I want to say thank you for your podcasts I love to listen to them you've been
[01:18:45] great lately not that you weren't great the whole time thank you so much that's from 7th of April so I just wonder where the where some of the other stuff is so I'm looking through it but I can't seem to find
[01:19:15] anything in the old oh okay here we go nope that's not it so I'll get rid of that nope moon pig service google frances yeah I can't find wonder where they all went there was a
[01:19:46] time there was a time where I actually went through all the different emails this is this is probably 14 years ago maybe 15 years ago maybe about 2012 time and I went through all of the messages all of the I wonder if I go onto
[01:20:15] my hard drive where I save the hypnosis stuff have I got anything like messages what's the right word no tributes that's not the right word is it customer messages
[01:20:45] nope let's just have a look YouTube this is all the folders on my hard drive ok up 19th April 2025 then you've got 13th February 2025 so these are just things that I every time the computer gets a bit full I try and back the stuff up but I'm actually running
[01:21:15] out of space on there so I'm going to get another hard drive it's amazing how much space all this stuff takes YouTube vids YouTube images why is it free that was my book should we see is there anything on there why is it free introduction and acknowledgement opening
[01:21:49] notepad what did I write down well whatever it's in it's in Chinese no why probably because I don't know it's weird why is it free why is it why is it done there oh I've got so we've got transcription doc and that's not coming up either
[01:22:18] oh well videos to be edited turboscribe pdfs tricolor timonia transcripts transcribed transcribed to to upload to instagram text doc I wonder what's in there text doc mum what's that
[01:22:46] I've got something that says mum but it's empty will you stop mate I've just got some information that I was searching in the the records so oh that's interesting yeah I mean
[01:23:16] it's hard because I've got yeah some of it doesn't make sense because I was trying to find so all I know is Tunbridge Wales Kent 19 it wasn't 1916 was it
[01:23:45] but also it wasn't 1985 so it wasn't that person unless someone named after her maybe a daughter which would be my sister Francesca marriage 1965 which is that's absolutely correct because I checked that that's when she married my dad and then there's another one
[01:24:18] yeah it's not very good I'm thinking here's what I'm thinking I'll birth 1946 but my dad was born in I mean it's possible she was born in 1946 but then it says Surrey South Eastern Surrey so it means she's the same age as my dad
[01:24:47] that was yes I'm not really sure I don't know why I've saved that information so if you're out there and you might be my sister say hello requests notepad it's going to come up and no no good oh what okay it's all come up please make a paperwork organisation video
[01:25:17] papers are everywhere this was alright okay sir I've listened to you wow so this is some stuff that I've saved what's it say I don't know where this was from sir I've listened to your hypnosis sessions on self esteem I've

[01:38:07] partly it was in the summer yeah there's a few mostly it's pictures some pictures I've done together to for birthday cards so I did a I did a picture of I think it was my dad's birthday a couple of years ago so there's a picture of a really muscly man body then it's my dad's head
[01:38:37] on there so the muscly man's holding a kid my head's on the kid's head so it's a little toddler my head's there looking up smiling my dad's smiling and Vinnie's also in in his arms as well poking out so it's quite a cool picture I would show you it but I can't post pictures of family and stuff because they wouldn't like it but that was one of my better pictures I think
[01:39:07] I did one my brother didn't like and I thought it funny but he didn't find it funny I don't think and I'm not sure if he's ever gonna forgive me you know it's a weird one basically it was I think it was for his birthday and I think it might have been last year or the year before and what I did is
[01:39:36] I should have it on here somewhere so many images of Vinny little videos of Vinny on here loads and loads wow blimey blimey blimey blimey lots and lots and lots and lots I'm talking lots I haven't got an image of my board patch why would I even do that I don't know loads of yeah little videos and images
[01:40:06] of Logie Vinny attacking my feet my shoes god yeah there's a lot there there's him on the bed him in a tent so basically I can't find the picture that I did for my little brother but what it was was this I
[01:40:36] and the reason I did it because I thought it would be funny it didn't quite get that reaction so and it was in it was basically in remembrance of what he used to do because he used to when he was a kid when he was little in his potty training he would get excited when he'd gone potty and he had I think it was a yellow one and he had a blue one
[01:41:06] I think he had two different potties definitely yellow one and he'd bring it in to show us he'd be really excited and that was a way of getting him to train to do it well I remember more than once he came in and put the potty on the table to show everyone while we were eating at dinner and it was funny yeah a bit grim but it was funny so what I did I took a picture that was of
[01:41:36] the family at the table I mean it wasn't from back then my dad and my nan was at the table I think maybe I was at the table and I put a picture and I had a separate picture of a little kid on a potty and I put my sitting on a potty and I put a picture of my little brother's head on the picture of a kid and
[01:42:09] he was on the dinner table sitting there and I mean he might have had like a nappy on but he was still sitting on the potty I can't find it I can't find it I wonder if it should be on moon pig account if I go into moon pig moon pig where is it moon pig let's have a look so account
[01:42:40] oh I have to sign in or can it do it for me no it's gonna I can't be bothered yeah can't he bother to sign in so yeah I did that and he didn't I didn't expect him to send me a long handwritten letter thanking me but he didn't seem
[01:43:44] to I can't newest on top that's it good I can't find any more of those messages they might be on the other hard drive like the older one so I can't find can't find any more I mean there
[01:44:19] and it went on like for about 20 pages with messages that people sent me over the years this is back in about 2013 2012 but somehow I managed to have lost it it might be somewhere I might still have it somewhere but I don't seem to have it anywhere no it's a shame
[01:44:50] it'd be nice to just look at it again have a read of some of that stuff I mean if I don't know family pictures maybe it'll be on here the picture of my little brother family pictures family pictures no it's not oh but there is a picture
[01:45:19] I can see the picture that I used for his picture yeah it was I don't know I did it with the hope of making him laugh I thought it would just be didn't seem to I don't know he's got older he's a little bit more serious than perhaps he used to be
[01:45:48] but I'm not sure maybe thought I was being rude I wasn't I had been loving it's a difference still I still think it's really weird right there's a picture here let's have a look properties 2007 no 2016 and it's my
[01:46:18] niece basically in a high chair she's now about to leave school I mean how it just doesn't make sense does not make sense at all did I say 2013 no 2016 it said it was created 2016
[01:46:47] so I don't know if she's she wouldn't have been six in that I think she's about 16 now maybe it's just that I downloaded it from Facebook on
[01:47:20] 2009 2009 probably maybe 2010 I say maybe 2010 and I had this video camera and I took it to Christmas because I didn't have anything keeping me at home while I was just living in rooms and stuff so I didn't have Andre didn't have Vinny didn't even have goldfish back then and I filmed my
[01:47:50] niece and she was having a complete I don't know if it was a sugar rush or whatever but she was super excited and very very funny and I filmed her but I didn't I lost the footage I don't know how I lost the footage it's a shame oh I got loads loads
[01:48:20] and loads and loads and loads this is strange oh my goodness there's a video of me there's a picture of me with people from the past wow and my red cardigan
[01:48:49] and I didn't have a grey beard when was that from when was that it's a while 100% going back a while so but then it's probably when did I download it from Facebook 22nd of April 2016 that
[01:49:19] would make that yeah that'd be about right when I took it probably yeah yeah that yeah that's just what it might be is they took the picture and then I just took it from their Facebook
[01:49:49] page weird weird weird seeing this I generally have not looked at these pictures for
[01:50:19] probably 10 years over 10 years forgot they were here I look big in this and I got jeans on I have not worn jeans in nearly 10 years I used to wear trousers I used to wear jeans I was not trendy I have never been trendy but I have just been wearing track suit
[01:50:49] bottoms for the last 6 or 7 years pretty much not the same pair but for for as long as I can remember really I got about 6 or 7 pairs of these and that's all I been wearing t-shirts and jumpers and stuff like that sweat tops back then I was still dressing still making a little bit of an effort so
[01:51:20] strange my hair I'm looking at my hair isn't it weird I'm looking at a photograph of what used to be kind of I used to class as part of my family when I was younger like my god daughter though
[01:52:03] I hardly any grey at all even the beard a little bit at the side but not much grey I think that's what you call being fascinated with yourself maybe that was from 22nd of April 2016
[01:52:32] so I've got a picture of my little brother here tell you what he's very handsome my little brother is he kind of they you know sometimes when the mix isn't quite right I think for me between my dad and my mum I don't think the mix was I don't know how they ended up with me but with him it's like he came out he's just just
[01:53:02] a really good looking lad I say lad he's now he's eight years younger than he's 40 I'm 54 so he's 46 he'll be 47 the day before I'm 55 that was from 22nd
[01:53:32] so that can't be all these things 22nd of April this is the 22nd of April so no it can't all be from the same date that these were created properties 22nd of April 6 no so basically this is when I downloaded them from Facebook because both these pictures are completely different places and
[01:54:05] it says taken oh taken 22nd the 4th 2016 and the other one 22nd 4th 2016 06 55 06 55 now admittedly I do get up early these days but back in 2016 I was not up early in the morning
[01:54:35] no no no no no no I found another picture there again 22nd the 4th 2016 so we could be going back 2015 2015 yeah so I got no idea it's just oh this is sad there's a picture of the where I used to live when I
[01:55:22] oh I bet that's is that 26 as well is it I can't even find it now just come out of it where is it literally just on it oh there it is 22nd of the 4th yeah so all these pictures were downloaded for 22nd so yeah that's why the one with my niece even though it said a
[01:55:52] later date it wasn't it was much earlier than that faux albums number four so I did quite a few pictures I must have taken off of oh this is she didn't like Andre not did she wasn't a big fan
[01:56:56] I loved yeah I like pictures taken of me and him so let's have a look there's more pictures this is number it's a different one wow so there's a picture I've got a picture of me if anyone wants to see this I can post it there's a picture of me from probably
[01:57:25] 1991 yeah 1991 because my hair wasn't even long yet because I started growing my hair about April 1991 and it took a while before it was long enough to be in a ponytail so at this stage my hair was curly but thick and curly but not long and I've not even got a beard I've got possibly got a
[01:57:55] bit of stubble and I'm sitting on a I wonder if it says when it was taken I bet it doesn't it probably wouldn't have that would it no it's taken on 22nd of February no it's 22nd of April 2016 no 1991 and there's an image of me sitting next to Nick Realty and
[01:58:25] another comedian there's two people on the end who I knew but I don't know if they were comedians or not but they were getting on really well and this was posted on Facebook I think someone I know posted it or someone I used to know and I've got I look so moody such
[01:59:05] clothes to kind of now I'm the opposite it's gone the other way and I wasn't drunk because I never used to drink alcohol back then that's the only picture I've got of me when I was young so what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy that
[01:59:38] I wonder if I what is that I've opened way too many things up right I'll post it on my desktop if anyone wants to see that picture I'll post it on my Facebook group
[02:00:08] Jason Newlands boarding group it's me when I was 20 probably 20 years old that's I forgot about that picture there's also another picture that I forgot about where is it what okay that's there's a picture of me and my nan oh there's a picture of me and my two
[02:00:38] nieces well not two nieces two god daughters although not official god daughters one I she wasn't in any other one love me as well they're both sisters about a year and a half between them so very close in age and
[02:01:10] weird seeing me because that would have been 2002 probably beginning of 2002 maybe end of 2001 and I think from the looks of it I which is a weird thing to know see I'm focusing on myself focusing on my hair because I miss my hair
[02:01:40] I really do I miss it I didn't have a beard either so this is when I was working in the call centre and the strange thing about it is I felt like I was old then but I didn't look too bad you know compared to now I didn't look too bad I looked alright
[02:02:09] I definitely haven't improved with age always a picture of me at my sister's got a goatee see again I'm focusing on me I got a goatee beard a goatee beard don't know when these
[02:02:56] 19 that was so another picture of me with the two god daughters but they're both adults now like in this picture it was in the wimpy I took a picture of them both and one is making a funny face which is something I always used to do you know I would have loved it for them to be my daughters it sounds weird because they're not but
[02:03:26] yeah oh well oh well so I haven't seen them for years and years and years and years what is another picture here I took this off my brother's Facebook page and it's him and his brother and sister and his mum that's weird seeing her
[02:03:57] I it's yeah this has really been weird just looking at some of these pictures I forgot they were even here right Finney's starting to play up so it's like just a little bit of sound downstairs and he's barking basically I need to have TV on or some
[02:04:26] music playing or an audio book something to distract him otherwise unless he's asleep if he's fast asleep he doesn't care but when he's awake and I'm not giving him any attention he has a tendency of noticing stuff you know so I'm going to go this has ended up being a Monday's boring objects but I've just just waffled on really haven't I
[02:04:57] this is I've just been waffling on on this one but never mind so I'm going to go thank you for listening and remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself you deserve to feel safe lots of love bye
