[00:00:00] Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome to Jason Newland.com My name is Jason Newland, Yeah! Or Juicy JJ, Yeah! That's my official name, okay wait a second, just needed to get Vinny,
[00:01:03] one of his bony things he likes. Not a real bone, but like those pretend bones. I will talk about real bone in a minute. Oh yes, yes! So, yeah, JasonNewland.com, it's my website, loads, loads and loads of recordings on there that you can stream and you can download.
[00:01:32] Absolutely free, in fact thousands of recordings. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. What else? I've got a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group. If you'd like to join. I currently have 219 members. It's taken me 32 years to get there, so it's going quite well.
[00:02:01] I don't know what Vinny's trying to do over there. And what else? What else? What else? What else? What else? Oh yeah, I've got a YouTube channel, at Jason Newland, where I also upload all of my recordings.
[00:02:22] And if you would like to support me by sending me a PayPal gift, please go to my website and the link's on there. What else? What else? I have to tell you. No, I think that's everything. I've just subscribed for another month with...
[00:02:50] I don't know what it's called. The website app... What is it called? Readly. Unlimited Magazine. So, renewed on the 8th of May. I haven't looked at it for a while.
[00:03:20] Probably not going to go through the newspapers right now. But I thought I might go through a magazine. Have a look at some magazines. Yeah, a magazine. So, a couple of little things. I have... I deleted my SoundCloud podcast. And got a little bit of a backlash for that. So, I have reinstated it.
[00:03:49] Managed to get hold of them. And they've put it back on. So, the SoundCloud podcast is up and healthy. With all the recordings that were on there a few days ago. When I got rid of it. And... Blimey, according to this. It's getting quite a few downloads actually. I guess now it's back up.
[00:04:18] So, how many recordings are on there? There's 4,769 tracks. So, there's 4,769 downloads available. I mean, if that is... That does include ones with music. Ones without music and all that. But... That's still a heck of a lot, isn't it? A lot. You know how many followers I got? 29! 29 followers!
[00:04:48] God, imagine once I've got like a million tracks on there. I might have like 100 followers. So, yeah. I've done a new recording today. It's Let Me Boy Paying Away number 34. Relaxing Body Part. And I ended up talking about my friend putting ice cream all over his face. I'm not quite sure how that fits into the recording. But...
[00:05:18] I've been doing them and they've been quite... Quite scientific lately. So, I thought I'd do one which is a little bit more... I don't know. A little bit more playful, perhaps. So, I did that today. Basically, it's just focusing on a part of your body that feels fine. So, you choose two different parts of your body. One that feels absolutely fine and the other part that's where the chronic pain is.
[00:05:47] I realise someone might have chronic... In more than one part. But just focusing on two different parts to start with. And that's all it is. And I just chat while going between the different parts of the body. It's not like a new idea because I've done that recording before. Well, I've not done that exact recording before.
[00:06:15] But I have done recordings doing that technique. But that would have been like a hypnosis session. This wasn't hypnosis. So, when I do the let me bore your pain away or let me bore you to sleep. It's not hypnosis. It's just me chatting. And with the pain... Let me bore your pain away. It's...
[00:06:46] I think they're quite good actually. In a weird way. Because they are focused. So, I did one about placebo the other day. And... Yeah. Very focused. Oh, do you want to see this? You don't want to see it. I'll read it to you. I've got this text message today. Right. From the GP surgery. This was at... 1.34. This afternoon.
[00:07:19] It was a bit weird. Okay. So, dear Mr. Newland. And in... You know what you can see in the... In the... The message section. You can just see a little bit of the... Of the text. There is a small risk. The risk of... So, I'm thinking... What? What the heck's going on? So, I open it up. This is genuine. I'm going to read this out to you. Dear Mr. Newland.
[00:07:45] There is a small risk of conditions that affect how the brain functions. So, I'm reading this. I'm thinking... What? Like... What? What? Inner child fathered by you. I thought that's a bit rude, isn't it? It's a little bit rude. But then I read on... While on valproate... Valproate. Which is the mood stabilizer I'm on.
[00:08:16] Or... Within three months of stopping. While on valproate... Or within three months of stopping. It is advised that you do not donate sperm. And... Do not father a child during this time. And you and your partner should use effective contraception during this period.
[00:08:43] Do not stop taking valproate unless advised by a healthcare professional. Wow. You know what? Okay, fair enough. It's come to me... I mean, I can't even remember... I'm going to have to look up some of them words. Professional. That's one word I'll have to look up. Affective.
[00:09:12] I don't know what that means. Contraception. Sperm. So yeah, there's a few words that I'm going to have to... Brain. That's another one. Small. I understand that. So... Brain functions. Oh yeah, brain functions. Got it. What if I was pregnant? With a kid. You know, what if I... Yeah, okay. This is going out probably just...
[00:09:39] Generally, these text messages are going out to every male... On these medication. Now it's already... I say well known, but it's... It was already a thing. It says on the box that... Pregnant women should not take the tablets. But what about people that are... Men that have got babies on the way?
[00:10:07] You know, do they think that that's something that needs a little bit of a... A little bit of gentleness, doesn't it? You know? Or someone that's going through IBF. Or... Um... I don't know. Just... Someone that doesn't want to have to use a Johnny. No. I don't know. It just seems weird. Just that they would... Because it's quite a... Ugh. Oh.
[00:10:36] There's a message here. Let's read this. Let's listen to this. It's actually a message. That was me apparently. So I tried to send a message back to them. I don't remember...
[00:11:06] Pressing anything. It's weird. I was on the toilet just now. Well not just now but... About half an hour ago. So I'm just relaxing. I find that's the best way to... Proceed with... The... Little adventure that... Sometimes occurs. So I'm just relaxing. Letting everything just... You know... Do it's thing. And my phone goes. My phone rings.
[00:11:36] Now... I normally have my phone on mute. But for some reason... Oh yeah. Because I phoned someone and I wanted to... Get it ring if they call back. So... I had the phone on mute. I didn't... I thought I had the phone on mute. Because I normally do. And it started ringing. Then he's barking. I was like... Okay. Here we go. But I'm on the toilet. But it might be important.
[00:12:06] And then I'm thinking... What time is it? Because if once it's after five o'clock... It's not going to be... It's not going to be the council. It's not going to be... Like an official phone call. Not that I get many official phone calls. But just... You know... It's not going to be something... Like that. It's not going to be from the doctor's surgery. But then it rang again.
[00:12:37] What? So I'm kind of... I'm doing what I would normally do quite slowly. Quite quickly. I'll word it like that. And... I just ruined the moment. I should just explain I was going to the toilet. Just in case. But yeah. I mean... It's... And I answer the phone.
[00:13:06] And it's just my neighbour telling me that we've got a new Pope. I said... Do you realise? You're just giving me... I'm just giving myself friction burn. To hear... I thought it was an emergency. And the reason I answered it... Because when I saw it was him... I answered because... You know... He might be asking for help. Because he's an elderly neighbour. He's only a few years younger than me. And I'm like... No. So I've got... Now I've got a sore bum. And you... Just want to tell me that we've got a new Pope.
[00:13:36] The first words were... Are you watching this? I said... Am I watching what? What do you mean am I watching it? What? I... What? What am I supposed to be watching? I don't... I didn't understand what he was on about. We've got a new Pope. And he's American. I said... You don't need... Like... So? What's wrong with him? He's American. It doesn't make any difference. We've had Popes from all over the world in the past.
[00:14:06] I should know. I did a whole... Hour and a half or two hours talking about Popes the other week. Blimey. We've had Popes. We've had seven year old Popes. People that are seven years old. We've had Popes that have... Just... Yeah. Had all kinds of different Popes. There's been an English Pope in the past. There's been German Popes. French Popes. Polish Popes. Italian Popes. I guess that's kind of obvious.
[00:14:36] But... Yeah. Like... American Pope. Good. Ball in Illinois. Did a little... Little Wikipedia search... Ten minutes ago. Just to... Just have a little look. I was mildly interested. You know... It's not really anything to do with me. But... It's useful. It's... You know... I guess it's nice to know, innit? Like... If the Dalai Lama...
[00:15:06] Ever... Got replaced. Or when he gets replaced in the future. That'll be... You know... Be interesting to see who that is. It'll probably be a kid. So... Yeah. I don't know... The Dalai Lama's been... Dalai Lama for about... I wonder how long the Dalai Lama... Dalai... Lama. How long has he been in? He was born in 1935.
[00:15:35] And is recognised as a reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of 2. 2. Just being a Dalai... He's been the Dalai Lama since he was 2. Didn't even have an opportunity to like... Question it. You're the Dalai Lama. I'm like... Really? Yeah. You're the Dalai Lama. How do... I mean... Yeah. Even if you was 10. You'd be like... How do you know? I mean... Good. You know.
[00:16:05] Do I get a crown? I'm like... You know... Brilliant. But... How do you know? Apparently there's another bloke. Who... Believed... And I think there's a few million people out there that believe that someone else should be the Dalai Lama. As well. So...
[00:16:25] In the wake of the Alasa uprising and Chinese consolidation of power across Tibet, tens of thousands of Tibetans followed the Dalai Lama into exile. In 1960... He established his government in exile in Dharmashala. A former British hill station in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Where he continues to reside.
[00:16:56] Oh, he's in India. I didn't know that. A former British hill station. What's a hill station? I mean... There's 10,000 people on a hill. I genuinely don't know what a hill station is. Just... I mean... I've heard of petrol stations. I've heard of train stations. I've heard of bus stations. I've never heard of a...
[00:17:25] Hill station. Don't tell me you have either. Come on. Don't. Don't. Is there any hill station in the UK? Indisputably... One of the UK's favourite hill walking locations. Right. What's a hill station? A hill station is a town located at a higher elevation than the nearby plain or valley.
[00:17:54] The English term was originally used mostly in colonial Asia, but also in Africa, albeit rarely. For towns founded by European colonists, colonists, as refugees from the summer heat.
[00:18:16] And as Dow Kennedy observes about the Indian context, the hill station was seen as an exclusive British preserve. Wow, that seems a bit rude, isn't it? Like, so the English would go there to escape from the summer heat. Or the Europeans. I should let everyone... That's just rude.
[00:18:44] I thought it would be hotter, though, if you were high up. Because the higher up you are, the closer to the sun you are. Seems logical to me. Anyway, that's the Dalai Lama. It says, what is the Dalai Lama famous for? Well, and... So I'm just going to look at some other stuff that's on our Buddhists.
[00:19:15] There's more to know. What is the Dalai Lama... What is the Dalai Lama's philosophy? He says that as a human being we are all the same. We all want happiness and do not want suffering. Even people who have no religious belief can benefit if they incorporate these human values into their lives. His wholeness refers to such human values as secular ethics or universal values.
[00:19:42] It's very hard to really argue with that, I would say, but... What is the Dalai Lama famous for? For being the Dalai Lama. It's like, what's the king famous for? Being the king. What was the queen famous for? For being the queen. What is David Beckham famous for? He's famous for being David Beckham. He was famous for being a footballer. But now he...
[00:20:10] He exceeded football. And became... Well, he met his wife and became a double act. And it became the Beckhams. Superstars. Worldwide. I don't know about worldwide. I don't know if there's... If you go to Tibet, would they know him in Tibet? Or wherever the Tibetans are. Huh.
[00:20:46] Are these questions. Can Buddhists drink milk? Yes, many Buddhists consume milk. While Buddhist emphasis... Emphasizes compassion and avoid and harm. It doesn't explicitly prohibit the consumption of milk. Some Buddhists follow a lacto-vegetarian diet. That's... Allowing dairy but excluding other animal products. The decision to include or exclude milk from one's diet is often a personal one.
[00:21:14] With some choosing to avoid dairy due to concerns about animal welfare or health. And... What is Nirvana? See, Nirvana literally means blowing out or quenching. It's the most...
[00:21:39] It's the most used word as well as the earliest term to describe the soteriological goal in Buddhism. My more understanding is... It's a release... It says it here actually. Release from the cycle of rebirth. Samsara. So this is Samsara. So this is Samsara. Being alive. So the main... The biggest goal of many, many Buddhists.
[00:22:05] So reaching enlightenment would be a non-returner. So if someone reaches... This is in Buddhism. If someone reaches enlightenment, it means that they've basically broken all fetters. They're no longer attached to anything. And... They're not affected by the worldly winds. I'm laughing at myself that way.
[00:22:35] And... They will no longer be reborn. So this is the last time... As a human. So with rebirth, it's kind of like... There's a cycle... A cycle... What do they call it? The wheel of life. And depending on how you are... Depending on what you've done in the past... Affects how you are now.
[00:23:04] And how you're on the future is dependent upon how you act now. So it's kind of... Some of it... I struggle with. If I'm honest. Because... The idea of... Me... Coming back and... Almost... Being punished for what I did last time. Even though I have no recollection of last time.
[00:23:32] Or maybe the last thousand times. Just seems a little bit... A little bit rude, to be honest. And... Yeah. There's... It's so complicated. There's so much in... In... And different... Different types of Buddhism. Think different things. And... I mean... I sometimes occasionally dip into religion.
[00:24:01] Have a little look at some of the rules. And I'm just blown away at the... The purposeful... Self-limitation... That some of these... Belief systems... Put on the practitioners. But people take on these things. And they... I understand... Because religion... I mean... It could... I believe... Let's forget religion. Let's say... Belief system. A belief system...
[00:24:31] Can transform someone's life. And it can save their life. And it can save the lives of people around them as well. So it can be an amazing thing. There's plenty of people that... Are being transformed... Because of... Taking on... A belief system... That's all... Already structured. And sometimes I think it's because of the structure. Someone that has no structure.
[00:24:59] Someone that maybe struggles to put together any kind of... Normal structure in their own life. Perhaps needs rules to abide by. And some... Faiths... We call it faiths? Some faiths... Are so structured. Almost to the point of like... They've got rules for everything.
[00:25:29] And... Buddhism's a little... It's a little bit like that actually. As well. But in a different way. You know... It's not quite as... Not hardcore. In a way. I mean... If you're a monk it is. If you actually join a monastery. There's so many rules... That you have to go by. And it's... They're not rules that you can get away with. You know... You can't just like...
[00:25:59] Oh... No one's watching. It's... You know... Because you're being watched the whole time. Because you're in a monastery. So there are rules that monks... Pretty much have to... Have to stick to. In the same way... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Buddhist monks. But other monks as well. They're... They're very... Nuns and stuff. They've got a lot of restrictions. But... Yeah. I don't know. I mean...
[00:26:28] I find it interesting. And I do... Class... I think I class myself as a... A Jasonist. You know? A juicy JJ-ism. That's my religion. Juicy JJ-ism. And... I think... I'm going to say most... Probably every religion or faith or belief system... Has...
[00:26:58] Benefits. Has useful stuff. For... Just the average person. A lay person. Someone that's just... You know? From a philosophical... Philosophical... Way. If I could say the word. Philosophical. I can't say it. I'm just messing around. So philosophical... And... Way. It can be useful. Can Buddhists eat alcohol?
[00:27:30] What... What do you mean? Eat alcohol? That's a weird question. The fifth of five precepts... Buddhist guidelines for an ethical life... Is to refrain from using intoxicants... Which are said to cause carelessness. Really? Yeah. You're joking. Really? See? Yeah. I mean... There's... There's the precepts of a Buddhist. There's the basic precepts that you've got.
[00:27:59] The deeper you go into it... The more precepts there are. Which is basically rules. Rules to... To live by. And... Which is ironic really. Because when you think about the... The main rules. The main rules. So... Ten commandments. So if we go... Okay. Here we go. I'm gonna... I'm gonna... For some reason I've got interested in this.
[00:28:27] So I'm just gonna go and say... I'll have a little chat with my... My pal chat GPT. I just subscribed again with the magazine thing. And I'm not using it. Oh well. I'll come back to that. Let's have a look. Let's have a little look. So what I'm gonna do is... Ask the question. Hey chat GP. Describe me based...
[00:28:57] Introducing new improved memory. Chat P-T... Chat... Chat... Chat... Chat... G-P... I wish it was easier to say. Like it was just called chatty. Or something. Chat G-P-T. Because it doesn't run... It doesn't like... Blah. Roll off the tongue does it? Chat G-P-T. Chat... Oh maybe it does. Chat P-G-T. That would be easier. Chat P... Instead of chat G. So I have to have a gap...
[00:29:26] Between the chat and the G. But if it was P... Or T... Chat T... I could just... If it's chat... Chat T-T-P-G... It'd be easier. Anyway... It can now remember more of our past chats... To better personalize its responses. Want to chart... Change it so that it knows about you. Just ask. Enable. Oh yes. Yes. So please...
[00:29:56] Everything you know about me. Let's see if it can remember anything. So please tell me everything you know. You know about me. Everything. Everything. From memory. Listed. By number. Let's see.
[00:30:26] What's he going to give me? What's he going to give me? Here's a detailed list of everything I know about you. Jason Newland. Based on memory. I grouped this into clear categories. And numbered everything from easy reference. For easy reference. Right. Here we go. That wasn't what I came on here for was it? I wanted... Okay. I'll come back to... I'll do this now. I'm going to go back to the magazine. I'm going to go back to the... The religious stuff.
[00:30:56] The religious stuff. But when I do do religious stuff. I try and be careful with it. You know. Because I can talk about Buddhism. Because I know... I would argue... I know a fair bit about Buddhism. As a whole. You know. As a subject. I can converse about the subject. I can converse. I know a bit about Christianity. I know a bit about...
[00:31:25] Because you know. I was... I was born in a Christian country. So... Learning about the New Testament. About Jesus and stuff. That's been part of the... Social fragment. You know. This is part of society. When I grew up. And then... My nan was a... Catholic. Devout Catholic. And I...
[00:31:56] At a period... Lived in two Catholic children's homes. Run by nuns. Catholic nuns. And also went to a Catholic school. And was going to church twice a day. Because the church was in the garden. So... Technically I suppose... I probably... I don't remember necessarily... A lot of the details... About Catholicism. But I... I've got it in... You know. It's kind of... In me. Some of that information. And then I spent...
[00:32:28] Many... Many more years... Studying Buddhism. And... Practicing Buddhism. So... Here we go. I grouped this into... Clear categories... And numbered everything... For easy reference. Personal background. Your name... Is Jason Newland. Born... 26th of August... 1970. In Enfield... London. You live... In the UK. You are currently... Unemployed. Alright.
[00:32:57] You are... Three brothers. It's given me... Their dates... And their names... And their dates of birth. Blimey. I don't remember... Telling anyone that. You have a Jack Russell... Named Vinnie. You used to have... A ferret named Andre. You are... Five foot... Eight inches tall... And weigh... 100 kilograms. You are... Diagnosed with... Bipolar... Affective Disorder...

You are closest... Wow... This is a weird one... The people... You are closest to... Have all died... It's like... Wow... Your Nan... Andre... And your friend Luke... Who died in November... 2023... I don't remember... I mean... I've mentioned these things...
[00:33:57] But... Now it's saying... Family History... It's got my dad... Your paternal... Like his full name... Your paternal grandfather... His full name... Who passed away in 91... Your paternal grandmother... Eileen Newland... Nanny Newland... She died... 28th of September... 2014... My uncle... Who passed away in 2020...
[00:34:27] It's the stuff about my auntie... And my cousins... Um... Wow... The second... My father's second wife... When they got married... And when they... Unmarried... Third wife... I... Really... When they got... I don't remember writing any of this stuff down... Unless it's going through my podcast...
[00:34:57] Transcripts... Oh... I wouldn't have even said that then either... I wouldn't have given the... Um... I never talk about... I don't give surnames and... Stuff like that... Of... Um... My... Family and that... Wow... Okay... You've been making hypnosis... And boring podcasts... Since 2006... To help people relax and sleep... You are a trained hypnotherapist...
[00:35:24] And make recordings available online for free... You run multiple podcast series... Including... Let me boil your sleep... Let me boil your pain away... Life of a bipolar hypnotist... So that's a little secret one... That I don't tell anyone about... It is a podcast that I started... And I did do one recording... But it's... Quite serious... If you know what I mean... It's quite... Yes... It's not... Um... I kind of took it offline...
[00:35:52] The podcast is online... But I took the recording offline... So there's nothing on there... I just... I wasn't quite sure how to proceed... With that one... Um... Your hypnosis recordings are known for your gentle voice... And style that help people... Fall asleep... And deeply relax... So you upload files of your recordings... Uh... And are working on a book... Combining your lifestyle... Story... And hypnosis work... Yeah... I was...
[00:36:22] Trying to do that a while back... You focus on relaxation... Pain relief and sleep... And use NLP... Neuroscience... And hypnosis techniques... It's not doing too bad... Is it? So far... You create a two hour... Pain control hypnosis session... For... Chemotherapy patients... Designed to trigger trance... In response to discomfort... Did I? Um... You've been planning a podcast called... Let me... Okay...
[00:36:53] I'll leave that one out... Because I'm not sure if I'm going to do that... Uh... Right... I'm not going to read that one out... So... You also have explored... Placido belief and neuroplasticity... In chronic pain relief content... I have... I really have... Yeah... Your daily themes... For let me boil to sleep are... Monday's boring objects... Tuesday... Choose... Trivia Tuesday... Friday... Q&A Friday... Sunday...
[00:37:23] Sunday's papers... Or Sunday papers... So... Although I've... Tried to do the... Whisper Wednesday... As well... Uh... You've asked to help... Filling in themes... For the other days of the week... Yeah... I always... I ask... Yeah... I have... You recently made a menopause... Themed episode for a listener... Combining... Humour facts... And relaxation... Did I?
[00:37:53] I don't remember doing that... You've created... Let me boil your pain away episodes... You in science based... Science backed topics... An example... Body scan... Pain... Reprocessing... Placebo... That's why I feel a little bit... I don't... I wouldn't use the word... Proud... I don't really... Really have any pride... I don't think... Um... Especially not in my appearance... But...
[00:38:22] I'm kind of pleased... With them... I'm pleased that some people watch them... Or listen to them rather... Don't get a huge amount of feedback... But I'm... They're the ones I probably... It... It's a subject... And a topic... That I'm really interested in... And I have been... For decades... I mean... All the way through the 2000s... 2010s... Now through 2020s... You know... Nearly... I mean...
[00:38:51] In two years... What's it now? 2025... So... Yeah... In four years... In four years time... Or three years time... It'll be... Thirty years... That I've been interested in... Chronic pain relief... I just... Didn't start... Really... I mean... I tried to...
[00:39:21] Launch... A pain relief... Um... Service... In... 2004... But nothing happened... And then I did it again... In 2006... And actually... Got takers... And... It kicked... It sort of started off... And went quite well... So I did free... Free pain relief service... For chronic pain people... In my local town... Um... And I did some pain relief... With people before that as well...
[00:39:52] But yeah... So I've been interested... In that subject... Because that's the first... When I first learned about NLP... Because I did... I learned... I started reading hypnosis books... January 2000... No... January 1998... And then... Before that I was... Listening to... A couple of tapes on NLP... And NLP in hypnosis... It's neuro-linguistic programming... Um...
[00:40:21] A big part of that is hypnosis... Was taken from hypnosis... And then I did an NLP course... At college... In 1998... And that really... Kind of got my juices going... For... With my whistle... As it were... For helping people... With chronic pain... Because... Okay... Let's be honest here... I don't...
[00:40:50] I think at the time... I didn't have chronic pain... I've got... I do have arthritis now... So... I kind of... Have a bit of a... Bit of an understanding... Of what it's about... But... A little bit... At the time... I've seen people in the past... That I wanted to help... Well I wish I could help... You know... You know you meet somebody... You think... I wish I could... Do something...
[00:41:19] But you can't... It's like when I saw my granddad... When he was ill... I wish I could just... I don't know... I wish I could take it away... Take his illness away... But I couldn't... I didn't... You know... So... I was a little bit like that... With people with chronic pain... And... I suppose in a way... Once I discovered... Hypnosis... And...
[00:41:49] It was very... It was very magical to me... It wasn't... It very... It seemed like magic... It didn't seem like something... That was... Psychological... It seemed... It really did seem like magic... Like proper wizardry... Stuff... Yeah... And... The idea of... The idea that words...
[00:42:18] Can have an impact... A positive impact... And... Can help to change... How somebody feels... Just... From words... Now my... My issues... Back then... Among... A few issues... But my... Not my mental health issues... But my issues with... Helping people... With confidence...
[00:42:48] I wanted to help people... Right from the start... Right from like... 98... When I first started reading the books... During 99... 2000... 2001... 2002... 2003... I had no confidence... To help people... Even though I'd been on... Hypnosis courses... Done hypnosis... With my students... I didn't feel confident... And then I did a... A hip...
[00:43:17] And then I tried to do my 2004 thing... And nothing happened there... Then in 2005... I went on a training course... Another hypnosis training course... And the one thing I got from that... Was confidence... I don't know why... But I felt... More confident... And... I came back from that course... So that was 2005...
[00:43:47] And my friend... Teresa... She'd heard me going on about... Being a hypnotherapist... Or being a hypnotist... And all this stuff... Since... I met her in 2002... So she'd be hearing me... Going on about this... She'd even been in my... She'd been in my room... When I was in the Buddhist centre... In the... The... Buddhist centre... The community... Buddhist community...
[00:44:16] So she'd seen all my books... And I was all... Super excited to show her... My book collection... Kind of... Big book collection back then... And... She did something that I never... That I was... Just didn't think anyone would actually do... She called me out on it... She... She called my bluff... Which I'm grateful for... Now... At the time it wasn't... Because...
[00:44:46] I was petrified... And here's what happened... This is totally... Like... Everyone... It's like everyone around me... Got fed up with me talking about it... And decided... Okay... Um... Is it show up or shut up? Or whatever it is... You know... Just like... Come on then... Let's see you do something... And... I... It's like going around...
[00:45:16] Oh I can... I'm a great... Um... Break dancer or something... And someone turned up with a... One of those bits of lino... So go on then... Spin on your head... No... I don't want to... I was making it up... All these years... So what happened is... Teresa... Phoned me up... I think I just got home from work or something...
[00:45:45] She phoned me up... She said... Or she... No she might have... We might have been out for coffee or something... And she said to me... Oh... My friend wants to see you... And I thought... Oh good... Which one is it? She said no... Because I met a few other friends... She said no... She doesn't want to see you like that... She's... You keep away from my friends... I said alright... She said... My friend... Is... She wants you to come and do some hypnosis...
[00:46:14] And my heart sank... I was like... Really? Because at this point... I got to the... I think I got to the point in my life where... In 2005... I was happy just to talk about it... I was happy to read... Hypnosis books... For pleasure... And I probably was never going to do anything... With it... That's where I was... In 2005... And I was more interested... I suppose... I was sort of in the Buddhism... And... You know...
[00:46:43] I'd rather... I didn't really... Want to be in a room with someone else... And do hypnosis... And... I didn't feel... I felt confident that I could do it... But at the same time... I kind of just... I did go on the course... It made me feel more confident... But... At the same time... I just... Don't know if I really wanted to do it... In reality... I felt I was just happy... Just... Studying it... And... Enjoying it...
[00:47:14] But anyway... She put me on the spot... And she said... I told my friend you're going to do it... I said... What? I said... Yeah... It's someone she worked with... And... This person... Was a trainee driving instructor... Had failed her driving instructor exam twice... And this was the... Apparently the last time she could take it... And she had to pass... And it was... Like in three days time... Or four days time...
[00:47:44] She said... So... What we do is... She doesn't want to be in a room with you on her own... Which is... It might sound weird... But actually... That's quite... Can't be quite normal... She didn't really know me... She'd met me a couple of times... And I said... Well... You come and sit in the room with her... Sit next to her... And... I'll... You come to my house... You can sit in the... Sit next to each other... On a settee... You can just ignore what I'm saying... And... I'll...
[00:48:12] Just talk to her... So that's what we did... I had no idea... What I was going to do... Bearing in mind... This was not chronic pain... This was not... This was a completely different thing... This was the very first... I'm not going to say professional... Because I didn't get paid... It wasn't professional... But it was the very first... Actual... Therapy... Or the first hypnosis session... I'd ever done... With someone...
[00:48:41] That I either... Didn't know... Personally... Or... Wasn't... You know... Wasn't on a training course with them... So... And on a training course... You're limited to what you can do... Because you've just got to do... Read the script and stuff... So this was... Very different... Anyway... It went well... I did not... It had gone well... But it seemed to go well in the night... We probably spent about... An hour and a half together... And she passed her... Driving test...
[00:49:11] Her driving exam test... Driving instructor test... Whatever... So she became a driving instructor... And... Started her own business and everything... For a while... She was sending me clients... Who had... Her driving test... Coming up... I even did a group... Once... I think I did a group of... A few of her... Her... Students... But...
[00:49:39] That forced me... It was annoying... At the time... Because I just... Didn't know what I was going to do... It's like... I knew it... I knew... But didn't have... The experience... It's... You know... I know about... Hypnosis... I probably know it quite well... I couldn't necessarily explain it... In any kind of a...
[00:50:08] A way that would... Be... Learnable... From the listener... I don't know if the person listening would... Would... Learn anything from what I was saying... But... I kind of feel that I understand it... In quite a deep way... In a deep way... Kind of... I might not... But I think I do... And... She... So my friend... Like... Teresa... Her... She got her friend... And that was good...
[00:50:38] So that was a nice little buzz... The next thing I know... The manager of the shop... Who I got on really well with... I used to go into... She worked in a card shop... So Teresa worked in a card shop... So the person she was working with... Was the... Future driving instructor... The owner of the card shop... I used to have a laugh with... Because he... He was... I'd go in there probably once a week... Over a period of time...
[00:51:08] Go out for lunch with Teresa... Or go... You know... On my lunch break... So I got to know him a little bit... Not... Not well... But enough to sort of... Say hello and stuff... And have a laugh... Well probably... Two weeks later... Three weeks later... She calls me and says... Oh... I'm not going to say his name... But I remember his name... And... He wants you to... Do some hypnosis... I said... What now? Oh come on... Stop telling people...
[00:51:37] Because he was basically trying to sell me... Not sell me... But just... Get me... Will you stop barking please Vinnie? Don't stare at me... We've been out for a walk... I've given you treats... I've given you a bone... You've got food... You've got water... You've had a tension... With a little play fight... I'm trying to make a recording baby...
[00:52:02] I think it's weird... He's just... He's... This is Thursday... So this is chip... Chip van day... As soon as the chip van goes past... And goes... Like that... It's not him... But the chip van... It's a really weird... Sort of grinding sound... Vinnie will be... Getting excited... Anyway... So...
[00:52:32] It turned out... That... Her boss... Asked... If I could go... He was willing to pay me... I said... I'm taking money... It was just... You know... I was happy to help... When I found out what it was... So basically... His wife... Who I'd never met... Was having... A very serious operation... About six days... Or five days later... Everything's right at the last minute... But... She was having an operation...
[00:53:02] And having reconstruction surgery as well... So it was a big... A big thing... And her issue... Other than the pain side of things... She was... It was a... She was worried... It was just like... Standard... Standard thing... It was really... Really... She was petrified... So... I went along... To her house... I think he picked me up... And took me back to his house... This time I was in a room... Just with her...
[00:53:31] He was... A different part of the house... So... This was strange in a way... Because I'd never met her before... And I was sitting in a room... With a complete stranger... Kind of... For the first time... Ever... Doing... What I was doing... Doing the hypnosis stuff... And that went really well... And... It was a success... The whole thing was really... Really good... And... She...
[00:54:01] It was... The whole... That event... And everything that happened afterwards for her was... As far as I'm aware... Was a... A success... And... Even... Even recovery... The recovery time was quicker... Than the doctor expected... So... It was still... It was a good... Good thing... So I was chucked into the deep end twice... And that's a deeper end than the... Driving test...
[00:54:30] Than the driving instructor test... But... I was out of my depth... I really was... And then... Right... Teresa... Rings me again when I'm at work... She's really on it... This girl... Well... She's a woman... But you know... She's... Back then she was younger... She was... That's... I think she might be a little bit older than me actually... She rings me again saying... Oh... Er...
[00:55:01] My... What's her name's... Like a mutual friend we had... Her husband needed... He wouldn't... Yeah... It's a long story... But basically he... I... He wanted me to go into the hospital... And... Help him to relax... Before having a medical procedure... A serious medical procedure... So... I was like... I've met the man once... At his wedding... And I didn't really know him... But he refused...
[00:55:31] He refused to have the procedure done... He'd had it done before... And he didn't like it... And he wouldn't have it done... Unless I went and... Helped him... So I don't know what Teresa was telling people... That I was really good or something... But this was getting silly... It's like... It... I mean I was happy to do it... Because ironically... This is where... I had a little bee in my bonnet... About people... You're going to say... Why is it free? Why is it free? That was going to be the name of my book...
[00:56:00] For about 20 years... It was going to be called... Why is it free? Because that's what I... I was asked so many times... By people in real life... And... So I went and saw this... This man... In the hospital... In the hospital... Ward... And again... It was a success... And he went through the procedure... And it was... Like... Way way easier... Than... It had been before... And...
[00:56:29] I also went and saw him as well... Um... During... Kind of the final period... Uh... And I went to his house... And did some pain relief and stuff... And that was... Also successful... So... It was... Um... Quite life changing really for me... Those three things... Two super serious... I say super serious... Things... Both the same...
[00:56:59] Kind of the same category... Of... Um... Illness... And... The day after... Being in that hospital ward... I was at lunch... With one of my Buddhist friends... Who was sitting outside... I think we were sitting in a graveyard... Or something... You know... Just... Having a nice little picnic... And... He said to me... Because we were talking... I guess I talked a bit about my...
[00:57:27] Hypnosis stuff... And everyone knew that I... What I did... What I was into... What I was interested in... And... Maybe I talked a bit too much about it... But... He... He... It's almost... He decided to give me a lecture... And he said... Um... People don't appreciate things... If they're free... If... If you give something away free... It's not... It's not valued... It's...
[00:57:57] People don't value it... And I stood up... Because at this point... I was sitting down... Um... Always fine... If you're going to stand up... Make sure you start from a seated position... Otherwise it's quite hard... If you're already standing up... It's hard to stand up... Isn't it? Otherwise I'd have just said... I sat down... But sitting down... Isn't quite as... Um... Formidable... Is it? I'm going to sit down... And tell you what I think... You know... It's like... A little bit different...
[00:58:26] And I went in on one... But I just had a little bit of a go... And saying... You know what... I'll just... You know what I did yesterday... Or last night... Because I think it was after work maybe... Or in the late afternoon... Because I was working part time at the time... At the time... At the time... And just... The idea... That man... In that hospital... Ward... I'd say... Well I'd...
[00:58:55] I'd argue... Very much appreciated what I did... And I was doing it... As a gift... I wasn't doing it for money... I wasn't asking for money... Money was... I mean... It's just... I don't want to say the words... But... In that kind of ward... Money is not... Handed over... You know... For treatment...
[00:59:25] Just... It's just... It'd be wrong... Like morally... I would... For me... It would be morally wrong... So... The idea that... What I did... Because at that time... This was like... 2006... I was doing the recordings online... I just started everything... After that... Wait a minute... I think... Yeah... That's when I...
[00:59:55] That's when I decided to... Was it 2000... I lose track of the time scale of this... Timeline... Because that might have been 2005... 2006... I think it might have been 2005... Blimey... But anyway... That's kind of what led me to... Start doing the online stuff... To go down this road... That I'm in... That I've been doing for... 19 years...
[01:00:27] And... Just those words... People don't value stuff... That's free... They don't value something... That's free... And I just... That's bugged me for 19 years... Or 20 years... Because... I've heard it so many times... On self-help books... Audio books... Read it... Because you know... I've read hundreds of... Yeah... Hundreds of books... On... Motivation... Self-help...
[01:00:56] Change your life... All that stuff... In the hope of... Maybe becoming a decent person... And... I still hear it sometimes... Or hear it in an audio book... You know... It's not... If it's free... People don't... Don't appreciate it... And... That's going to be the case... But there's also going to be... A lot of people... That don't appreciate it... If it costs money as well... Someone that doesn't...
[01:01:26] Appreciate something... They're just not going to... Appreciate it... Are they? Either way... Well... They're going to appreciate it... Because it costs money... I think the one... There's one real thing... The only benefit... Of charging... A lot of money... Is... It raises... The expectation... For the person... Who is paying... So... Let's say if it's a stop smoking...
[01:01:56] Session... You know... One on one... Stop smoking session... The more you charge... The better results... You're going to get... Because... If someone's willing to pay... If someone's only willing to pay like... 30 pound... Or 40 pound... Then... They may not be... As motivated... As someone that's willing to pay... 500 pound... I say may not be... But someone that's willing to pay...
[01:02:25] A large amount of money... Is either... Super... Super... Dedicated... To... Completing... Their side of the deal... Which is to not smoke anymore... Or... They just have money to throw away... So... You know... There's two sides to that I guess... But... Outside of like... Stop smoking...
[01:02:54] Things like that... I don't think the more you pay... I suppose it's expectations... Expectations is powerful... Isn't it? So... I imagine... Yeah... For... For like celebrities... They wouldn't go to... An average... Charging... Hypnotherapist... Or... Psychotherapist... That maybe charges... 50 pound an hour... You know... A movie star is going to go to someone...
[01:03:24] That maybe charges... 5,000 dollars an hour... But... With that comes... Discretion... And... The... The sense that they're... You know... They've got the best... And... Even though they might not have the best... The best... You know... There might be a psychotherapist... Around the corner that's... Charging a hundred dollars an hour... And they might be... Way better...
[01:03:53] Way more skilled... Way more... Uh... Perfect... For that particular client... A hundred dollars an hour... That'd be nice wouldn't it? So... Hmm... Hmm... What else does it say? You structured your... Your... I've got a personal website... Jason... Newland... Dot com... And I've got an index of podcasts... On my website as well...
[01:04:24] I've uploaded podcasts... To the website... From my... RSS feeds... From my Spreaker... Podcasts... I've also got a YouTube channel... So she's telling me stuff like this... I... So this is... This was... Teresa's thing... So she got... Three people... She kind of... Put me into a position where... I... I... Didn't have to... But I kind of... I couldn't really say no... To these three people...
[01:04:55] All three of them... Who... Didn't really know... And then... Someone from the Buddhist centre... Who I think was also possibly just... Fed up with hearing me talking about... The hypnosis... Told me... Told me that... To phone someone... Who was a friend of hers... And she wanted me to...
[01:05:25] See basically she had to have... Double lung transplants... And she couldn't get in... She wouldn't go into the hospital... Because she was... Had a phobia of hospitals... Understandable really... In that situation I think... And... The doctors... The specialist said... If she didn't... She kept turning up... And then not being able to go inside... And they said... If we make an appointment... Because it's like a two day... Stay... For all the tests they had to do... To see whether or not she was... Viable to have...
[01:05:55] The operation... So... They said to her... If you don't... I think it was on a Tuesday morning... This was a Saturday evening... They said... That I was seeing her... Like Saturday afternoon... If she didn't go inside the hospital... On Tuesday morning... She would be... Basically just signed off... They wouldn't deal with her anymore... Which is a bit harsh... But I think she'd... Kind of... Done it a few times...
[01:06:24] And they just said... No we can't... We'll just... I don't know if it was like... Put you in the back of the queue... Or just... You know... Because she'd been waiting for years... To get to this point... So... And it got to the point where... It was really... Really... Really important to get it done... If at all possible... So... I've talked about this recently... So I won't go into great detail... But... She did not like me... She did not like me... I got there... And I was in this dark room... And she just...
[01:06:55] It was almost like I'm thinking... Did I change my underpants... Before I came out? Because there was... You know... It's always... Just like... Oh... She doesn't like me for a reason... For something... I don't know why... But after two and a half hours... Because I don't give up... After two and a half hours of her... Well it wasn't two and a half hours of her... But it was at least an hour... Of her being very cagey...
[01:07:25] Very dismissive... Even rude... To the point of being rude... Like... What do you want? Why are you even here? Stuff like that... Two and a half hours later... We were laughing... And... I've even... I've got the letter somewhere... That she sent me... Went inside the hospital... Easy... And had a good time... Had two days of laughter... Which is... Yeah... Maybe I opened up her... Opened...
[01:07:54] I tickled her funny bone... Maybe... Got her... Got her feeling a bit lighter... But... That was... Very strange... That I had those four... In that period of time... And... Yeah... I don't know... And then when I started doing... The free pain relief service... I was going around people's houses... And... And then I was seeing people... I rented this... This...
[01:08:24] Therapy room... At the week... On a Saturday morning... For about four hours... Every Saturday... For a while... And it was just really... Strange how it all took off... And then... Then before I know it... I'm... Volunteering... Doing group relaxation sessions... At two different charities... One drug rehab centre... And another one for alcohol... I was like... How did this come about?
[01:08:56] And then... Like a year later... I'm signing up for... Starting a degree in counselling... So... Yeah... It was... It was kind of weird... How that all happened... And... What's weird is how I got onto... It's not really weird... I was going to say... How I got onto talking about myself... But... That's pretty much what I do... Isn't it? On these recordings... You're building a podcast... Based autobiography... To eventually turn into a book...
[01:09:27] Yeah... Erm... This is one of the things... I am... This is motivations... And personal philosophy... Okay... What does it say here? So... You feel a strong connection... To your audience... Often tailoring content... For their needs... Okay... Do I... Do I take content? I suppose I tried... Yeah... People ask me for stuff... And... I try... It's very hard... To...
[01:09:56] I know it's impossible... To meet everyone's needs... As Buddy Holly once said... Erm... The best way to fail... Is to try to please... Everyone... So... Yeah... It's hard... But... I do my best... Luckily I've only got seven people... Listen to me... So it's... You know... Not too bad... Er... You... You respond to listeners' requests...
[01:10:26] With new recordings... Or episodes... So... Yeah... I do... I've done that... You are compassionate... Especially towards... Especially towards... Dealing with pain... Serious medical conditions... Or emotional hardship... Well thank you... I don't know if I'm compassionate... I'm just... I think everyone's compassionate... I think... You believe in the power of expectation... Belief... And repetition...
[01:10:55] And... Flapping ears... From Vinnie... In healing... So... The power of expectation... Belief... And repetition... Yeah... I do... Very much... There's nothing more powerful than belief... It's the most powerful thing... There's nothing... There's... There's nothing touches it... No medication... No drug... Nothing is as powerful as belief... And I don't mean... Um...
[01:11:24] Necessarily from a healing perspective... Just... Belief... Look how it... It... Structures someone's whole life... And... What they do... How they act... What they believe... Obviously believe... And... Yeah... It's huge... Um... Yeah... You are building a podcast... Okay... So that's... Uh...
[01:11:53] That's the life of a bipolar hypnotist... Which I started... And that was going to be... I was going to turn that into... My book... So I was going to do... Episodes... And I might still do it... But just not release them... Have them... And then just turn them into a book... So I had to transcribe them... Put them into ChatGPT... And then let it just sort out... The different bits... Uh... The bits where I talk about...
[01:12:23] My childhood... Things where I talk about... Working in the bakery... Or... The chip shop... Or... Working in security... Or... I don't know... Doing karate... Kawate... Kawate... All the different things... And just trying to figure out... How I can put it together... Um... Helping me with structure... Because that's something that I'm... Yeah... I'm not necessarily... Cohesive with... Is the structure...
[01:12:52] Of things... Because... I don't... I don't think I'm particularly structured... With... The recordings... I'm fairly structured... With making the recordings... But the... Let me bore your pain away... Recordings... Are a lot more structured... Than the let me bore you to sleep... Ones... But then I like both... I do like unstructured stuff... But...
[01:13:21] The let me bore your pain away... It's... It's a mixture between the two... To be fair... The feeling is just staring at me... I was going to talk about from the... A magazine... Let's have a quick look through a magazine... Shall we? Woman's Weekly... Let's look at Woman's Weekly... Uh... Woman's Weekly... So this is from this week... It's a magazine...
[01:13:48] I don't know if it's available in other countries... Um... Ooh... I lost six stone with hypnotherapy... Let's click on that... No... Can't click on it... I've actually got to go through... Uh... What page... It doesn't say what page it's on... Damn... Right... Hello... Hello... Good to share... Let's have a quick look...
[01:14:17] Are you sitting comfortably... What are you wearing... Gardners... Hotels in history... Oh... That's an old fashioned hotel... I don't know... I mean... I think about sometimes... You know... What kind of... Would I live... Would I like to live in a stately home... Maybe... Not one that's open to the public though... I think it's nice to have a bit of privacy... You know... You see... If you get... You know... You've got your breakfast...
[01:14:47] You're having your breakfast... Or... Having your dinner... You don't want to have to get dressed... Do you? In case... Like... Members of the public start walking through... And looking at the paintings... Not something I've had to... You know... Really be concerned with... So far... Oh... So this is... The power of thought... I didn't know there was going to be an article about hypnosis... But...
[01:15:17] I'm sorry but I can't... Is this... Wait a minute... That's not even the article... Is that the article? Because I couldn't see anything about hypnosis in it... Right... I think it is the article... The article...
[01:15:49] Oh... Would you like to live in a stately home? I don't know... I think I... I think I quite like... Would like to... I'm not sure about all the paintings though... Because I kind of think that with... With a stately home... I mean... It's like anything really... Any building... You're only borrowing it... Aren't you? You know... Even if you decide to live in it for life... It's borrowed... It's... Someone else... Eventually is going to live there... And... With a stately home...
[01:16:18] Because they're... They're... Maybe five... Six... Seven hundred... Years old... They've had... Whole... Generations of families living there perhaps... And... It would feel like I was living in someone else's house... Really... Because you can't... You're limited to what you... I'm guessing... But I think you'd be limited to what you can do... You can't...
[01:16:48] Tarmac the drive... You can't get... You know... Decide to dig up the grass... And... Put a big bouncy castle... In there... And... You know... There's probably certain things you can't do... You can't change... Some kind of building restrictions... I'm pretty sure... You can't put a little... An extension on... Or put a... Shed in the garden... Maybe you can... Um...
[01:17:17] Satellite dish on the... I mean no one has satellite dishes anymore... Apart from everyone that has satellite dishes... But they're not... Satellite dishes... They're just... Left over from the past... They're relics... Because Sky doesn't use satellite dishes anymore... It's all now just done through the internet... But I've got two on my wall... Not inside... I can't find the hypnosis thing... It must have been that one about the...
[01:17:47] Losing weight thing... All my stars... Let's have a look... Virgo... New possibilities surround you now... You may be tempted to stick to what you know... But taking a leap into the unknown... Will be far more enjoyable... I'll be up for that... Something a bit different... Come on someone... Show me something a bit different... Give me a... A new lease of life... Show me... A new...
[01:18:17] A new doorway... Let's go back... I think... That I've gone through... The... The bit... That I was reading... That was about the... Weight loss... Let's go back... The power of thought... All Sam wanted was to feel normal... To not stand out... Or need to hide... At the back of group photographers...
[01:18:46] For most of her life... She had battle with weight... And eventually reaching 22 stone... Okay... By December 2023... Sam's health had reached breaking point... So she wasn't well... She decided enough was enough... And a chance post... On Facebook... Showed her a program... To manage what she ate... And dramatically improve her health... This wasn't diet... But a lifestyle change... Which transformed...
[01:19:16] Transformed her... So I'm just... Where... It's not even mentioned in hypnosis... Where's the hypnosis part? Just have a look... I'm just reading through this...
[01:19:46] Erm... So it gave her weight loss... It helped with her weight loss... And she's... Happy and brilliant... But I can't see... She... Means she had a lot of problems... With chronic pain and stuff... She started following a new program... Which involved downloading... An online course... For 12 weeks of hypnotherapy... Right... Okay... Now I've found it...
[01:20:16] They've mentioned hypnotherapy once... In the whole article... Which is weird... Considering... The front cover was saying... Hypnosis! So... She... And weekly coaching sessions... And to completely change... Her relationship with food... The idea is to listen... In a quiet place... Where deep relaxation... Assists with... Absorbing... Positive... Messaging...
[01:20:45] About your regular diet... Advice includes... Eating slowly... As well as drinking... Plenty of water... Once I downloaded the course... To my phone... I could listen as many times... As I needed... To... Until things became embedded... Sam explains... Hearing that nothing awful... Would happen... If I didn't eat before work... Was a revelation... Repetition is the key... And hypnotherapy... Contradicts the bully... In your brain... It's about... Oh...
[01:21:15] I've just... Come out of it... Oh... I've got... I'm back... I'm back... Oh what? Oh I just want to go to the top... This app is... Not easy to navigate... Navigate... Navigate... Navigate... There's a scientific... A specific guideline... Such as... Recognizing when you are no longer hungry...
[01:21:45] Rather than feeling full... Erm... Yeah... Cool... That's good... This magazine... To be fair... Is... And this is not... I don't think it's being sexist... To say that... It's aimed at women... Can you imagine people getting angry... Do you mean it's aimed at women? It's a magazine... Oh you automatically think... It's aimed at women... Because it's got stuff about dieting...
[01:22:14] Is that... You automatically think it's about women... Because it's got... Adverts for dresses... Oh you automatically think it's about women... Because it's got horoscope... Oh you automatically think it's about women... No... It's called Women's Weekly... That's why I think it's about... For women... Thank you... Thank you very much... It's called Women's Weekly... I think I can safely... Without backlash... Say... That it's aimed... At women...
[01:22:42] I think it's fair enough... Is it... Is it... Is it... I mean... Even if... It didn't have the name Women's Weekly... Every single article... Is... Pretty much about women... And it's aimed at... It's clearly aimed... I mean it could be aimed at anyone... The fact... It's because it's called Women's Weekly... That's the only reason I know...
[01:23:12] Not because of anything else... He lied... So... I managed to get through a whole magazine... Let's see if I can get through another whole magazine... What else is there...
[01:23:44] Chat... Find your perfect match... Oh... It's about... It's glasses... Come on in... Come on in... Chat to us... What have you been up to? Mind your own business... Are you a dog or a cat person... Or neither... And... Okay... I'm just trying to find something... That's... There's...
[01:24:16] Just genius... Your tips are the tops... Oh... Let's have a look at this... Just soup... Er... I wanted to blitz the veggies... I'd cooked for my soup... I covered the pan with cling film first... And put the blender through it... To save cleaning my walls... And me... Cup of joy... I make gifts out of basic plain white mugs... I decorate them using dishwasher proof transfers...
[01:24:44] The recipients always love them... Should we edit that to the recipients... Always say they love them... The recipients always say they pretend to love them... I'm sure they're lovely... That's a very... It's a lovely gift isn't it... Um... Fly away... Put little bags of dried lavender on windowsills... To repel moths... Flies and creepy crawlies in spring and summer... They also add a lovely scent...
[01:25:13] Or scent or scant... To your home... Oh... Bag of dried lavender... I might give that a go... Definitely had an issue with one fly... Anyway... Reuse toilet roll inserts by cutting them in half... And planting seeds in them... They're just the right size... But they do look like toilet rolls...
[01:25:44] With... Dirt... Inside... In fact... You could argue... It might not be dirt... Yeah... So let's move on... Rolling on... I got sick of cleaning my roller between coats of paint... By popping it in a plastic zip block bag... I found that I didn't need to clean it after every coat of paint... Saving time and mess... Okay... Brushing up...
[01:26:13] Using some paint in my cupboard... I painted an old candle holder... It now perfectly matches my bathroom colour scheme... And is used for storing my toothbrush and toothpaste in... And... What's weird though... I'm not gonna... I'm not being rude... What's weird is... Is an old candle holder... It's painted it... It's... It's literally just...
[01:26:42] It looks like it's been found... Like someone's just... Accidentally fallen in the ditch... And found this thing... And thought... I know what I'll do... I'll take that home and put my toothbrush in it... That's what it looks like... It's not even... It looks dirty... And scratched... Okay... Let's have a little look...
[01:27:10] I'm curious... Right... So... We're gonna just have a look... Amazon... Let's go to Amazon... I'm just curious... I'm just curious... Amazon... Right... Let's have a look... Toothbrush... Holder... Toothbrush holder... So...
[01:27:40] Let's go... Price low to high... Because obviously you're looking for something low... Price... So... One pence... But delivery is $7.69... So that's not really ideal... Is it? Erm... Blimey... I didn't think they'd be selling stuff that low... One pound... Free delivery... One pound... Toothbrush holder...
[01:28:09] One pound... Or... You've got a bowl... Which is... Similar to the thing they already had... Which... Was actually... That looks nice... And... That is... One pound... Eight pence... With a two pound... Sixty nine delivery... See yeah... But you could just pay...
[01:28:37] One pound... With free delivery... One pound... Or... One... Two... Three pound... Seventy... Seven... Or... Ultimately... Let's have a look... Here's another way of looking at it... You could just get a mug...
[01:29:07] A mug... Let's have a look... Mug... So we go for free delivery... Shall we? See how much it is with... All prime... Only go for prime ones... Two pound... Fifteen... And also... I mean... If you could just walk... Go to the pound shop... If you've got a local pound shop... That's got to be...
[01:29:36] More fun than jumping into a ditch... I'm not saying someone would do that on purpose... I mean... I didn't mean to fall in a ditch... It's just... It's just one of the benefits that I... Got out of it... Compromise... Miss... Let's look at some of these...
[01:30:06] There's some... Very weird mugs... With some... Very strange... Pictures on them... One says... Christmas... See you next Tuesday... Blimey... Only 3.90... 3.49... Free delivery... I mean... Next year's present... I guess...
[01:30:36] For... Someone... Huh... Anyway... How was... Where... How did I go on that? Oh yeah... It was something that I was seeing... On the... In the magazine... Wasn't it? I can't remember what it was... What have we got? Oh there's a doggy there... With sunglasses...
[01:31:07] Focus on quitting smoking... Did it add each morning... Run out of the... I'm just gonna see maybe... See if there's a... See if there is... A horoscope... Vinny's hassling me... Oh here we go... Here we go... Let's have a look at my horoscope... I don't think there's a good name for it... Is it horror?
[01:31:37] You know... Supposed to be like a positive thing... You know... Horoscope... What about... Weekly scope? Happy scope? No... Horror scope... So Virgo... Diligent and hard working... You're always there to offer a hand... To those who need it... But do consider... What you need to receive... And what help you require... No one appreciates free stuff...
