[00:00:00] Hello, welcome to Jason Newland.com My name is Jason Newland Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes This is Let me bore you to sleep Yesterday, yesterday I did a Let me bore your pain away It was an hour long
[00:00:44] And then after pretty much, well when I came to upload it and edit it, it cut off after half an hour And it turned out that the, well, as far as I'm aware the batteries had run out Here's a question So I've got these rechargeable batteries Because the batteries I had
[00:01:19] Seemed to be a bit on the blink The volume was less It was still working but the volume was a lot quieter And So I got some rechargeable batteries I thought, should I get some new batteries or some rechargeable ones? Or rechargeable ones? Or rechargeable ones?
[00:01:42] I don't know, however you want to say it And I thought, yeah, I'll get some rechargeable ones They're pretty cheap And as I do like one or two videos a day On average It probably would seem a good idea To do that Well I got the rechargeable ones last week
[00:02:11] I charged them up Now This might seem like a boring story But it's not It's the most exciting story You're going to hear from me this week So Enjoy Make the most of it If you can So I charged them up Put them into the So it's a
[00:02:42] It's called an iRig So it moves from the microphone Through a condenser Into an iRig Into the Camera So it's kind of A few different things In order for me to film and Get audio at the same time Decent audio I probably got
[00:03:15] Five Maybe a week's worth So probably ten recordings Which is pretty good I suppose Got about ten Ten A week's worth Like ten Yeah So ten Ten different recordings Out of the Batteries before they Shut down The weird thing about it is I got four In the thing So I got four I took them all out Used two
[00:03:45] And I put them in a charger And the other two That I hadn't even used Needed recharging How Can a battery drain When it's not even being used Is a question I have So I'm not sure what to do I mean I'll be honest I don't even know I don't even know If
[00:04:14] This is recording my voice Which reminds me I was going to actually Try and use something else To record my voice As a backup But I didn't And I haven't Hmm Yeah I should have done that Completely forgot Just a little You know A little back Back Up
[00:04:39] So I put them in Overnight Took hours For them to both Or for them to recharge The ones That I hadn't used Got recharged Quicker But they were still in there For a few hours That I hadn't used That were fully charged Last week I'm
[00:05:09] I really don't know What to make of it And also Why is there no After all these years Of batteries Why is there no easy way To get them in and out Unless you've got like Long talons It's They don't come out Very easily It's like really Trying Because I've got I've got short fingernails Trying It's difficult
[00:05:39] I mean I did get them out It wasn't impossible But I mean some would argue Maybe it wasn't worth mentioning But You know I have So I will Continue I'm just a little bit Confused with it I don't understand It's like Why Why If a battery's charged It should be charged Either it's charged Or it's not charged
[00:06:08] It can't be both This is by far The most important thing That's happened this year So far Oh my neighbour Did I tell you about my neighbour Oh blimey So my neighbour's got people Builders or whatever Coming in To his flat So Vinny might start barking
[00:06:37] Which means this video Will be in lots of different Sections Which is fine Well it's not fine It's a bit disturbing To be honest But Because if he hears something That's what he has to do Has to Can't stop himself But I think it was last week I was with my neighbour And I was just talking to him He lives opposite me
[00:07:06] And he was talking to me Just a normal conversation His trousers fell down Or his jeans They just fell down It wasn't on purpose It was an accident And it was just so It was very funny And
[00:07:32] I didn't know What to It's like Wow It's not something I would normally see It's just Weird So I told someone I told a friend And he said to me Oh Could you send it to me I said What do you mean Send it to me So it'll be on your door camera I said Oh it will be
[00:08:01] But I'm not sending it I ain't sending it It's just It's not It's not fair to do that Because I could end up online So I'm definitely not sending it But I did want to see it again Just have a little giggle And maybe I don't know Show people Not show people But No I wasn't going to show anyone I wasn't Anyway Unfortunately
[00:08:33] No matter how slim I feel that I am I take up a fair bit of the hallway And the camera Didn't get past me They couldn't even see him The camera didn't see him You could see the top of the doorway Because I'm not particularly tall But the rest It wasn't You know I It's such a shame Because I was looking forward to having it Just It's a funny moment It's a memorable
[00:09:06] Experience Maybe the most memorable experience Of the year So what's Finny doing? He's doing a Oh he's waiting He's waiting for something to So I've ordered some food Today From the supermarket All
[00:09:35] Healthy Food I mean all healthy Like super fresh Healthy Food Stuff that I'm going to have to cook Well not all of it I mean some of it's fruit But Generally I'm going to have to cook it I'm going to repeat myself All healthy Now
[00:10:05] I don't have Necessarily Probably not Not particularly Not honestly The most healthy diet At the moment And that's all going to change tomorrow But I was thinking to myself Okay I'll show you what I've done Let's get this open
[00:10:31] So I used to There's been times when I've eaten healthily I've been a vegetarian I've been a vegan I've had a bodybuilding diet And That was a long time ago That was when I was like 16 or something 15, 16 And I was on a bodybuilding diet But I was trying to put weight on And I couldn't Just Couldn't Didn't matter what I ate How much
[00:11:00] What quantity Never put weight on It's ridiculous And now A little bit different from that So I remember Roughly what the diet was back then I used to have I had gammon For breakfast A gammon steak A couple of
[00:11:31] Boiled eggs Not boiled Like Yeah boiled Not hard boiled But boiled And Then I would Have Like an orange juice And a cup of coffee Or something For lunch Because I worked in a chip shop So I was able to get Either chicken Or fish Quite easy So I'd have that
[00:12:01] With Not with chips I would have it with salad So I'd have Have that with salad I even did this When I moved up Into the flat above me Above the chip shop For a little while Because I had A little bit of money To do it with And then I kind of Just didn't Yeah I don't I'm not sure quite How that worked
[00:12:30] And then I think There was like A snack In between Like A bag of nuts Or some fruit Or something like that And then in the evening I was having Either chicken or fish again With Rice And then maybe A snack In the evening It became Something like some I don't know
[00:13:00] A bit of fruit Or something And I did that And the fact is I was healthy You know I was I was still around So I must have been Pretty healthy When I was 15 16 And I know most You know The majority of people Are probably I guess it's our Peak Some people's peak Of fitness And health
[00:13:30] Is sort of when They're Teenagers And early 20s And stuff I feel I have not Quite reached my peak Yet I'm Edging into it Edging And So I kind of And I used to I had this Bodybuilding diet Book That I was following Back then And it was called The
[00:13:59] I think I was doing The optimal Bodybuilding diet So it's the very basic It was for someone That was Working out But not Wasn't like some Super Super Super diet High Huge calorie With someone That's working out Twice a day And stuff It wasn't that Kind of thing It was just Very optimal I was also having Raw eggs
[00:14:29] In milk as well Which It No Not for me It I mean It's doable If it's done Within A different format Like an omelette Or something Yeah Eggs Raw eggs And milk This is before There was any Problems Because we had
[00:14:59] A few problems With raw eggs In the press You know In the I think The middle 90s Or early 90s But There was It was a standard Thing Because I studied Bodybuilding As far as A little bit Like hypnosis I knew a lot About it But I was No good At it That's probably Where I am With most things I've never been Any good At anything But I have Studied Certain things Like how to
[00:15:28] The whole Bodybuilding Process The exercises The nutrition It's a long Time ago I'm just Pointing this Out I don't Remember A lot Of it And You know I was Going into A gym I have Told this Story before But it's There was I was With my Friend Dean I think One of My friends
[00:15:58] And we Was just Walking Around the Block I don't Know where We'd Been I don't Think Where We'd Been Is Necessarily Relevant To the Story But it Was around The corner So basically If you come Out of my House Where I Used to Live When I Was a Kid Turn Right And Turn Right Again Now Of course Well I Say of Course You don't Know There Wasn't Any Way That Was Kind Of A Shortcut
[00:16:28] You Could go Down And Then But I Never Used To Do That I Just Go to The End Of The Road Turn Right That Road Would Lead You All The Way Down To Another Road And On That Corner If You Turn Left There Was A I Don't Know What It Was Originally But it Was Next Door To A Laundrette That I
[00:16:58] Do Know Because Laundrette Was Still There For Years I Don't No If It Still There Or Was It A Video Shop Was It A Video Shop No I Can't Remember Anyway So There Was This Lorry Or Big Van Actually A Big Big
[00:17:28] Old Lorry Van Thing And This Bloke Was Moving Stuff Out Of The Van And He Asked For Help And I Said Okay I Said What What I We Might Just Stop So What You Doing Just Out Of Interest What Was Going On And He Said It It
[00:18:16] And I He He Asked Us For Help Or I Offered To Help To Move To Get The Stuff Off Of The Lorry But In Return He Gave Me A Free Membership To The Gym He Bearing In Mind I Was 14 At The Time So It Would Have Cost Me Much Anyway But So Just Give Me Free Membership He Said Okay So We Moved I Think It Was Carpet That Day
[00:18:45] And I Might Have Gone Back To Help With Some Of The Machinery Some Of The Equipment I Mean Not Yeah Not The Heavy Stuff But I Guess The Chairs And The Tables And The Benches And Stuff Like That And Yeah So I Don't Know If We Did It Twice It
[00:19:15] A Few Hours Six Months It Took No I Don't Know Might Have Gone Back To Help With The Machines The Next Day Or Something I Don't Know I Know I Was In There In And Out Before The Place Opened And Got On Really Well With The Bloke And The Yeah When It Opened I Became A Free Member I Was The
[00:19:45] First Member Of That Gym Other Than I Owned It And His Wife But Technically They Own It So Don't Need To Be Members So I Was The First Member Ding Ding Ding Ding My Friend Also Got Membership But He Never Used It So Yeah I Was The First I Guess Equal First Me And The Other My Friend But Because He Never Used It I Don't Think He Ever Got I Didn't Need A
[00:20:23] So I Was A Member Of That Gym Up To The Age Of About 17 So I Was Going Into That Gym From 14 15 16 About Three Years I Think Once I Got To Once I Left School He Started Charging Me I Think But While I Was At School He Didn't Charge Me Or He Didn't Charge Me For A Year Something Like That I Can't Remember It Wasn't A Lifetime
[00:20:52] Membership But I Would Go Around There I Also Had Weights In Because My It Was Quite Long Bit Of Girth And I Would Like To Go There Just To See It I Mean I Not
[00:21:22] Really Much Bigger Than I Was When I Last Was There Because I Was 15 When I Was There And I Not Really Much Tall Than It Is Like So But I Remember It Being A Big Garden Yeah There Was
[00:21:52] Girth As Well As Length I Love That Word Girth I Don't Know Why And And There Was This Big It Almost Like I Don't Know How To Explain It You
[00:22:28] A Water A Toilet I Don't Know If It Made Me Heat Anyway Part Of It Was My Dad's Office Because He Was Self Employed So He Had Desks And You Know All That Part Of It Was Mainly For His Gear Like He Wouldn't Leave His Gear In The
[00:22:58] Van Overnight Like All Because He Was Electrician So All The Cables All The Stuff The Tools Because It Was Expensive He Used To Take It Out Of The Van Or He Used To Get We Used To Get A Hand And Take It Down The Bottom Of The Garden And Put It Into There For Just Started Doing Karate
[00:23:27] This Was I Don't Know Probably When I Was Thirteen Ish Ish Thirteen Forty So I Say Fourteen Between I Lose A Little Bit Of Tracks And Maybe Thirteen Yes I Might Mean Thirteen Actually When I Joined That Gym So I Started Yeah My When I Started Doing Karate My
[00:23:57] Dad Got Me Two Punch Bag No I Bought A Punch Bag But My Dad Got Me A Punch Bag As Well It's Like A Kit Bag So He Got That First And He Filled It Full Of Wood Cuttings Yeah He Filled It Full Of Wood Cuttings It Was Heavy It Was A Heavy Bag Or Was It A Soft Bag No One Of Them Was Heavy One Of
[00:24:27] Was Light So One Was Just Full Of Rags And The Other One Was Full Of Like Sawdust So It Was Heavy Heavy And I Can't Remember Which Was Which If I'm Honest With You But I Bought My Own Bag As Well My Own So I Had One Of Each And He Put This Screwy Thing In Where The
[00:24:57] So It Would Never Get Tangled And Because The Height Of The Building Of This Porter Cabin Thing Wasn't Very High I Could Reach It So It Was Kind Of I Don't Know You Know So It Wasn't A High High And I Have To Kind Of Hold It Up With The Heavy One But That Was Cool It Like Wow And
[00:25:27] What I Did Is I Started Getting Some Weights And Putting Them Down There As Well So As Well As Joining The Gym So I Think I Had That First Then I Joined The Gym Because It Thought It Be Nice To Go Somewhere else And You Know It It Is Just Nice To Be Part Of Something Else And I Had A Weight Bench I Had
[00:25:57] Barbells Dumbbells I Had One Dumbbell I Had One Barbell So One Barbell With A Bunch Of Weights Which I Bought From The Sports Shop Around The Corner I Remember I Bought This Whole Set Of Barbells Weights Dumbbells And I Spent Half The Day Carrying Them Back Round Because I Mean Now I Probably Just Got A Taxi But It Was Literally Around The Corner I Mean If You Come Out My House Turn Right
[00:26:29] Yeah Turn Right Into The Same Road That I Turned Right Before But This Time You Turn Left So Probably What I Would Do Is Come Out Of My Because Just Opposite Me There Was A Friend Of My Dad's And There Was A Couple Of Girls That I Knew From
[00:26:59] Living Opposite Them And I Was In Love With One Of Their Friends And Sarah I Don't Know I Tell This Weird Do You I Was A Kid I Was 14 I Fell In Love With Her You Can't Help When You 14 You Fall In Love With Someone There Nothing You Can Do About It It's
[00:27:29] Just There Was No Logic To It And I Became A Little Bit Obsessed A In The End She Told Me To Go Away Which I Did But
[00:28:00] She Kept Because She Was Best Friends With My Neighbour Opposite I Kept Seeing Her And You Say Yeah But You Were Looking Out Someone Else's Window I Said Yeah I Into The Big House
[00:28:35] I Lived I Actually My Bedroom Was The Biggest Bedroom Out Of All Of Ours Actually Maybe Not But It Was A Fairly Big Size Room Big Windows Loads Of Light And I Think The Walls Were Blue I A Few Years Because My Little Brother Was Only About
[00:29:05] One Years Old Even If That Probably Not Even A Year When We Moved Into That House So To Start With He Was Living In The Same Bed Bedroom As My Dad And His Wife And Then He Had The Little Room That Was His Bedroom And Eventually When He Got To About Three Three When Did We Move In There Nineteen
[00:29:34] Eight Nineteen Seventy Nine Nineteen Seventy Eight Nineteen Seventy Eight Blimey So Nineteen Seventy Eight We Moved In There Maybe Nineteen Seventy Nine Actually Yeah Maybe Late Seventy Eight Early Seventy Nine And Which Meant I Was Nine I Was Eight I Was Eight When Moved In
[00:30:04] There That Don't Seem Right Does It Wow And Then I Lived Upstairs I Did Live In Another Room For A Bit I Lived Keep Saying Lived I So Used To Living In Rooms I Lived I Stayed I Had My Bedroom Was In A Different Room For A Little While But Only For Probably Six Month Or So But That Was Temporary
[00:30:39] Yeah So I Was Upstairs To The Age Of Fif Probably From The Age Of Twelve Maybe Eleven Twelve No Def No Because We Had A Playroom Upstairs So We Had A Playroom With
[00:31:09] A Snooker Table And I Think A Darts Board The Snooker Table Had A Ping Pong Or Table Tennis Table That Could Go Over It So We Used To I Have To Be A Little Be Careful Not Hitting The Walls But
[00:31:38] Generally It Is A Fairly Big Room Yeah And We Had Music And Stuff And I Think There Was Some Chairs To Sit I Think They Had A Sofa In There To Sit Down And So That Was Our Where We
[00:32:11] And Then My Other Brother The Other Older Brother The Less Older So I Had One Two Years Older One Four Years Older And One Eight Years Younger He Lived In Another Room Right On The Top Floor As Well But It Was Had A Curved Ceiling With A Skylight And Some Big Storage Area At The Back Like In The Covered Thing That Was Blocked Off Not Blocked Off But Had
[00:32:41] A Door Or Something I Think There Was Kept In There Just Bits And Bobs And Then We Had Stairs That Went Down So I Starting At The Top Of The House To Give You Kind Of
[00:33:16] Tiles And You Couldn't You Wouldn't Walk On Them Without Feet Not Feet Without Shoes You Wouldn't Walk Them On Them With Your Feet Just Your Feet It Was Uncomfortable And I Mean I Wore Slippers Most Of The Time Anyway So It Wasn't Really An Issue But Coming Out Of That Room Anyway The Window In
[00:33:45] That Room Looked Over The Other Side Of The Road Apparently And So Because I Was In So Much Love Bear In Mind I Was Only Three Years Old So It Fine And I Used To Look Forward To Look Out See If She Was There Just So I Could Love Her From A Distance I Know
[00:34:17] Romance Anyway That Ended Up Being My Oldest Brother's Room When I Moved Upstairs Into His Room He Played Loud Music But A lot Of Elvis So I Didn't Mind That But He Was Yeah Very Moody He Was And So Going Downstairs A Little
[00:34:46] Room Kind Of Straight Ahead Almost You Know If You Get Down To The Bottom Of The Stairs That Was My Little Brother's Room There Was Later Turned Into Like A Little Exercise Room There Was An Exercise By Kende Is It Solarium You Know The Sun Things You Could Lay Down In One Of Them That My Step Mum Had And Then Turn Left Or If You Turn Left Straight That Was
[00:35:16] The Parents Room The Side Side Of The Windows Faced And It's That You Shouldn't Be Looking For The Windows That's Literally What Windows Are For Looking Through And Next To That Was A Room That I Had
[00:35:46] When I First Moved Into That House So I Like That I Like That Room Because It Was Big I Now Was A Telescope And It Was Big Enough For Me To Have A Telescope Just There And Never Got Knocked Over Apart From When It Did And Yeah It Was It Was A
[00:36:16] Good Nice Room And Then Next To That Room There Was A Toilet Then Next To The Toilette Is Another Room Which Was A Bedroom 아� That Was More A Spare room for visitors so my step-mums mother my step granny would if she stayed that's where she would sleep or if they had visitors other family members or whatever that's where they would sleep
[00:36:46] so there's a double bed in there also the airing cupboard was in there as well and I stayed in there for about six months once I can't remember why there was some movement I don't know if there was decorating being done but yeah I stayed in there for a while so my bedroom that I
[00:37:12] was in when I first moved in that ended up being my little brother's bedroom overlooked the garden his bedroom well my bedroom is like it had a more bigger view I think you could also see part of the yeah you could see more because it was further back the other bedroom you could I'm wondering
[00:37:41] if it had more than one that's finished drinking by the way I was wondering if it had more than one window in that room but I know it could overlook and it could overlook the other garden a little bit on the left and you could also see part of the right hand garden and because it was quite because we're fairly high up and you could kind of see so you could kind of get a gauge of a different part of
[00:38:10] garden and then downstairs you walk down the stairs and straight ahead is the the front door and I think I'm pretty sure there was a cabinet on the right hand side not right next to the stairs but
[00:38:33] I think where the phone was like a phone cabinet turning left there was there was two doors originally there was two different rooms so there was the front room the living room which you go in the top door which if you was going to come into the front door the first door the first door on the right hand side go in there and it was the front room so and it was a
[00:39:04] what do you call that when the windows are out I forget so we had quite a big sofa because there's a lot of us was there was my dad my step mum my oldest brother my other brother older than me
[00:39:27] me and my little brother is that right four for so six of us the whole time you know for quite a long period of time and but it also there's also all but there'd also be visitors like my other grandparents or my step nan aunties uncles cousins
[00:39:51] whatever so there would be other people and yeah I mean I think the I remember the set he was brown like patchy brown not patchy as in being soiled but but like dark brown light brown um sort of like
[00:40:16] the thing that he was just you know wiping himself everywhere wasn't like that that's my pillow um so yeah he I think my dad had his own chair which he still does he's got a different chair now but he had his own chair and something that used to he still does it to this day
[00:40:41] he can't watch a movie or television or anything without falling asleep it's just that he's he falls asleep so easily in that situation and he always has even as a young man well I don't know how how long he's been like that since I've known him and so since he was I mean he was 26 when I was born
[00:41:12] I think so or 24 24 or 25 when I was born so when I was let's say 10 he was 10
[00:41:30] 11 12 30 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 so I guess he was around 35 ish
[00:42:00] when I was 10 give or take he's 79 this year yes he's born in 1946 we could work it out then so 1946 1980 so 1946 56 66 76 86 no
[00:42:29] 56 6 46 46 56 76 76 so that's 34 years so yeah so he's 24 years older than me and 24 so he was 20 when he had his first kid 22 when he had his second kid
[00:42:59] and 24 when he had his third kid which is me and then 32 when he had his final one yeah so 35 yeah so yeah but he's been falling asleep since then anyway ever since kind of I've known him from the age of I can't remember if he fell asleep when I was 7 or 8
[00:43:28] I think I started to notice it more when I was about 10 11 9 maybe so yeah and he would just fall asleep I don't know if he's ever watched a whole movie all the way through at home he's been to the cinema so I don't know if he he falls asleep at the cinema because I think I only went to the cinema with him once that was to see E.T.
[00:43:56] I remember sitting there determined not to cry because everyone was like oh you're going to cry I said no I'm not yeah you are you're going to cry I said I'm not going to cry and yeah I did cry it was emotional it was it was an emotional emotional movie especially that that bit where
[00:44:28] he's hiding in the cupboard and there's all these other like animals and toys and he's like that I had to cry I couldn't stop but crying when he's riding on the bicycle E.T. go home
[00:45:01] was it E.T.? well I think it was Star Wars no it was E.T. yeah it was E.T. I think that's the only movie I ever went to with my dad we went as a family but I don't think I ever went to I know I went to see Superman 2 with my oldest brother
[00:45:31] and that was what 79 78 something like that something yeah so I remember he took me there I actually had dreams about the Superman movie before I went to watch it that night before and I mean it was advertised a lot and that was when
[00:46:01] Zod was on there wasn't he Zod and like the the super arch villains were in it and it's loved it's probably my favourite one out of the three but there's four shush don't mention the fourth it's my favourite one out of the three but they're all I mean the first one is great but it went on it really went on a bit and
[00:46:31] I probably wouldn't want to watch it again because it it seemed to take itself a little bit too serious for a long time you know a lot of the movies very kind of serious and then it starts to get humorous once he moves to to become a once he becomes Clark Kent the reporter and he meets Lewis Lane and there's funny bits but before that not so much
[00:47:01] not so much so but in the second one he's still got romance and stuff but the fact that he's got rid of his powers I mean I'm sorry don't want to spoil the movie too soon I don't know you know but he gives up his powers so he could be with Lewis Lane
[00:47:32] so that he could I think it's so that he could actually be with her intimately because he was worried that he might destroy her by accident I guess that's the you know I mean super powers imagine if he got over excited so and then these arch villains turn up and he has to get his powers back again I'm sorry if I'm spoiled
[00:48:01] I think my favourite part of the first one is or is it the second one the first one is when he flies around the planet to turn back time because there's an earthquake isn't there and Lewis Lane crashes a car and stuff that's the first one the second one see I love the third one
[00:48:31] as well because Richard Pryor was in it and I was a big Richard Pryor fan in the 80s or well I guess late 70s early 80s but Richard Pryor was he was the biggest box office star in the world for a while early 80s he was massive so I didn't even realise he did stand up comedy until probably my late
[00:49:01] my late yeah my late teens when I was about 17 I think I discovered that he was I mean to be fair it's only a few years later it's not a big time difference is it but that's when I discovered that he was arguably then and still is for a lot of people classed as the greatest stand up that ever lived
[00:49:30] you know is he is at the top of every stand up comedian list even now I mean it's one of those things you can't you can't put anyone at number one because it's all dependent upon taste isn't it yeah no one's the best singer I mean I'd say there's very few singers in the world that could match Bouncy
[00:50:02] Beyonce but others might say well actually I prefer the bloke from the Pokes but then I'm a huge fan of Bob Dylan's voice and I would say one of my favourite voices of any female singer is Dolores from the Cranberries
[00:50:31] but it's a different style of voice a different type of voice or Bonnie Tyler completely although to be fair Bonnie Tyler and Rod Stewart come on they must have been related somehow or must have been they must be related because it's almost same hairstyle looks similar same kinds of voices and
[00:51:02] I think uncanny they never did manage to do a duet together which was planned they were going to put an album together because they both had the similar voice tone it's a heartache nothing but a heartache let everybody go say I am seething I am seething on a road on the door
[00:51:32] I mean they both could sing each other songs and get away with it plus I think Rod Stewart can do whatever he wants and get away with it because he's a superstar as far as I'm concerned Bonnie Tyler is also a superstar but she hasn't been around so much but she was an icon and I loved Bonnie Tyler totally flips to the heart there's a hero
[00:52:02] no that's not one that's Mariah isn't it we don't need another hero we don't need another answer no that's not Tiffany I can never remember her name Tina Turner we need a hero I'm looking out for a hero to the end of the night you gotta be strong and you gotta be right and you gotta
[00:52:31] be right we need a hero so that's three songs with the word hero in it so that's the living room now what happened is if you come out of the living room turn right again just go down there was another room which was like
[00:53:02] a dining room but it's weird because there was two dining rooms or maybe it would be classed as and have our Sunday dinners in there and Christmas and stuff like that and there was also doors to the outside and there was a patio so outside doors there there was a piano in there one against the wall because my step mum was really brilliant
[00:53:32] on the piano great great pianist and I used to sometimes just listen I don't know other way to say it used to play so well and
[00:54:02] it's all quite classical stuff she didn't play anything from the 90s or anything because well we were still in the 80s but she I think she played some more contemporary stuff that was contemporary at the time like a bit of Lionel Ritchie and stuff but this is really good really good I did like listening and I still do not not to her but I do like listening to classical music and piano
[00:54:31] but the problem I find with listening to piano music on I use Apple Music but it's clicky and it's like you can hear the clicks and it just doesn't sound so good and it's weird because I don't know why I want to hear the music but I don't want to hear the banging of the keys as it's being
[00:55:01] done maybe I'm being a bit fussy maybe maybe and then so that was that room so eventually though what my dad done was he knocked a hole in the wall he had a hole put a hole in the wall and he said
[00:55:31] I think we were just talking I think my brother said we should give it a name what so we got the living room we got dining room we should give the hole a name and my brother said that's glorious what a glorious hole and I said glory hole we should call it glory hole and my dad said no he said beside it's too large
[00:56:00] I said what do you mean he said no never mind but it was actually it it was kind of it was big enough for probably two people to get through it was quite a large gap and it pretty much didn't feel like two rooms anymore he's actually done the same in his own house now he did it last year
[00:56:30] and he's lived there for about 100 years now but he just decided to break to go through to the other room and what's weird about it is it just feels wrong I don't know where I am now I've only been there once since I've done it and it's disorientating
[00:56:57] and that room looks tiny that gap is almost a space for a settee and there doesn't seem to be any room for anything else and it just seems weird but that seemed like a much bigger room before but when they did the room in the big house it's the rooms still seemed the same size
[00:57:27] but of course bigger now because they're connected and then coming out of there turn right out of that room so it got to the point where we didn't really need to use both doors so we stopped using the first door on the right hand side as you go into the front
[00:58:47] stairs building inside which was handy because there was six of us so it's quite nice at least if six of if three of us could go to toilet at the same time if if needed and then and that was just a basic toilet it was a little bit of a storage room as well to be fair it was
[00:59:14] never that tidy in there you get used to just put stuff in there like a junk room a junk room where you could poo basically and then and a sink of course so you come out of that turn right which led to another dining room which had a table and chairs and stuff where we always used to sit
[00:59:37] we'd sit in there during the week i remember sitting there on a saturday and burger and chips it was nice but it was this table but these chairs are all connected like one big bench on either side with a back on it and my dad had that in his new home as well when he moved
[00:59:59] in 86 87 yeah mate no maybe yeah 86 i don't know 87 probably and there was a cabinet on the left hand side i think or was it further up maybe the other side and it was i think my dad's got that as well in his house it's one of those like dark brown cabinets
[01:00:29] with space for stuff or plates and um cutlery drawers things like that you know for the nice cutlery and then go through there was a kitchen so originally the kitchen it's not it's not a bad size kitchen wasn't huge but it was it was a good size
[01:00:59] and the kitchen like the units were cordoned off so that was the way out of the house the back way into the garden so there was away from the kitchen part so doors on the right hand side going out
[01:01:19] and in about 2013 maybe 2014 my dad put a new kitchen in and i think before that because we had a toilet outside an outside toilet which i think originally was a coal bunker
[01:01:47] to be fair i think that's what it was originally and then someone put a toilet in there you know 10 20 years ago whatever because we didn't didn't need coal anymore so my dad took that out and knocked through the kitchen into that bit where the toilet was and put a big best um built a
[01:02:16] kitchen like almost well a seating area for us to eat a little bit of a squash but we all got around it with table and we'd have our dinner there maybe we'd eat our breakfast in there and stuff like that so that was yeah i think he did that before he changed the kitchen or before he put in a new kitchen
[01:02:39] yeah he put a big patio in the back way i remember he put a driveway in the front i helped him do it i don't know how helpful i was
[01:03:01] if i'm honest i don't know but i i turned i was there i was there i also did some pointing i thought i he taught me how to point and if you're gonna say oh you go like that you know no i don't mean point as in pointing to people um it's basically where you you take out the in my memory you take out the
[01:03:28] it's you know the not petrol you know the the cement in between the bricks of a building you just take out a little bit of that and then you put some more in and it just i've got no idea why why i don't know why it's called pointing i don't know what the point of it is
[01:03:53] yeah i'm not even going to pretend to know why yeah i don't know yeah i've got no idea why i did it i was told to do it i just did it and i quite like doing it actually and then there was the garden
[01:04:14] we had a plum tree which is why i don't eat plums because every year when the plums arrived plums with everything everything i mean just i mean i first of all i don't like plums anyway
[01:04:39] but if there's enough sugar plums are nice i've you know for me i found like a plum crumble plum pie if it's got enough sugar in it to make them sweet plum jam if it's got enough sugar in it to make it sweet as long as it's sweet i was all right plums on their own no i've never liked i never particularly
[01:05:08] like the plum in my mouth i'll be honest just don't like just the taste there so and also there was the aftermath of the plums so they'd be fallen on the ground and then the the wasps will arrive and they'd be eating the plums and they would be drunk which i always find a bit of a weird concept
[01:05:38] so yeah they i didn't like the plums i think we had an apple tree might have even had a pear tree as well not 100 sure but we had grass there was a mess we had two hills it sounds like a house is really massive okay a pile of dirt you know not a hill as in like you know it was just a big mound of dirt
[01:06:07] and we could just kiss this before the the building at the bottom of the garden the poor cabin thing was put there we just moved that big pile of mud which was taller than me big old pile moving from one part of garden to next with no apparent reason i never really understood why we were doing it but it seemed
[01:06:34] important to other people through it to be done and lots of flowers on the sides of the garden so outside there was grass but on each side like where the fence is between the grass and the fence there was lots of flowers all done and i think my step-mum might have been doing that as well i think she was quite into
[01:07:00] we had hanging baskets outside yeah we did i'm pretty sure we did someone did i'm pretty sure we did and they were maybe outside the front as well as outside the back big old fence at the back which did have a lock
[01:07:25] lock on it on the inside i think and it's one of those push down things to get it open like one of those locks those um those openings on the on the wooden gate but it was a dark alley and it's quite long well it was the the girth the length of the girth of the no the length yeah the length of the house from the back to the front
[01:07:56] so you go out you go into the back entrance and so i guess it's the front entrance when you go in the front bit there was no gate at the front you just walked in but there's a gate at the back so there's definitely there was uh an obstacle when you're trying to go in the back where it was a little bit
[01:08:19] harder to get in the back than it is the front but because that fit and sometimes to be fair because it was locked i wasn't very good at like reaching either because i wasn't very tall but there wasn't much there and i think we sometimes we'd leave stuff you know bikes and that in the
[01:08:45] alleyway and that but you know it wasn't a big there wasn't a massive gap between the houses i mean i'm thinking about it i don't think it could have been even my my arm length between the two but i might be making that up yeah there wasn't a big big gap between the two because our house was
[01:09:11] semi-detached but the good thing about it is the part that was connected to the other house hardly didn't affect us because it was the part where the stairs was if that makes sense so only
[01:09:37] the only rooms that were connected to the other house would have been part of kitchen probably downstairs that was it everything else was the other side where it was detached upstairs would be part of my little brother's room right that that would have been connected to the
[01:10:04] other side and part of the other room that i sometimes that i stayed in for a little while at the back of the house that was kind of um a guest room so that was the only two rooms that were connected to next door the rest of it was just the stairs you know and that wall and then upstairs on
[01:10:26] my floor where i ended up living uh yeah probably my both my brother's room so my brother's room my older but not not oldest brother his room would i suppose be connected to the other room on the other side and my other brothers would be connected but my room wasn't where i slept so i
[01:10:55] i literally the whole whole time i lived there apart from for six months when i lived in the spare room i didn't share a wall with another well that's not true i shared a room with my parents room because there was a wall there so i could yeah we're sharing that that wall
[01:11:23] and i was sharing yeah i was sharing the wall with my other brother because he yeah he had the big room when we was at the top so i did share you know i guess other rooms but not and he was the noisiest one out of everyone because he used to play loud music he used to play elvis although i do love elvis
[01:11:52] but sometimes you know i was i wanted to go to sleep and i think there was a period of time when he didn't really do anything i think he was kind of going through a little we just left school and he wasn't doing much so i yeah used to annoy me i should let it go shouldn't i it's only been 50 years
[01:12:20] um what else so the gym but the way i got my weights from was you go down the road come out turn left to the high street and it was just there was i don't think it was right on the corner a lot of
[01:12:45] there might have been but i'm pretty sure there was a charity shop and then the sports shop and that's where i call the uh i also got a curl bar a curl bar which was like a bit like that shape so you could do that and one of those ones for the um let me see what i'm doing um it's kind of
[01:13:12] it's just another way of doing this i've got like three different bars i don't know if that's a tricep bar should i do it one more time not on me head so yeah i was i didn't know i was going to do a tour
[01:13:31] of my childhood home but it seems i have it was quite dark in the living room though i don't know why it's almost because we had other big because there were big houses like three stories high so across the road was exactly the same three stories high which meant when you're at the bottom
[01:14:01] you go across the road there was nowhere for the sun to come in because it was blocked off from i mean you get sun if you was at the top of the building but the other building was blocking the sun from really getting into the into the window so yeah that was a bit weird good for the tv you know
[01:14:26] because there's no sun shining on tv and no light distraction as such yeah but my friends yeah he says trousers fell down that's that's i don't know how i got talking about doing a house tour the house tour that's i guess that's that's but it's what what i'm going to call
[01:14:54] this recording house tour childhood house tour i had no clue that was going to happen so i'm going to go thank you for listening remember
[01:15:15] to be kind to yourself be gentle with yourself lots of love not just allow you to feel calmer now
[01:16:01] throughout we spend together here not just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's finished and
[01:16:15] you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace but also i think it would be nice to have those feelings of
[01:16:45] relaxation continue for longer after the recording is ended so that you can still benefit from listening
[01:17:10] listening to my voice maybe in a few hours time tomorrow by listening regularly especially if you find
[01:17:33] like some people do and myself as well i sometimes i find one particular recording that really resonates with me and i just listen to it over and over again every morning every evening there was this
[01:18:02] recording from going back to about 1999 it was uh it wasn't hypnosis but it was a guided visualization so it kind of was hypnosis really and i managed to find it again and it still has the same
[01:18:25] effect and part of it was the person's voice just felt so peaceful and i'd look forward to listening to her
[01:18:53] in the morning and in the evening before even pressing the play button that as soon as i've done that
[01:19:12] press the play button press the play button this was in the days of cd players press the play button in fact it
[01:19:31] might have even been a tape tape recorder i'd lie down on the bed and then even without necessarily
[01:19:47] listening to her words because i was really it was as if my body
[01:20:02] the body knew exactly what to do the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation remember my mind
[01:20:38] would slow down i was listening to this recording the early days of learning hypnosis long before
[01:21:00] i ever made any videos or audio recordings myself because i didn't start doing that till 2006
[01:21:12] i was able to just let go that trust in the person that i'm listening to and that it's going to be
[01:21:57] just as relaxing if if not more so each time you hear my voice you may feel the same
[01:22:11] have been listening to me for over a decade maybe not solidly obviously not 24 hours a day
[01:22:38] but maybe people come back some people maybe listen every day and something that i
[01:22:58] do which you may not realize these recordings i also am affected by the words said to you focus on your feet
[01:23:50] notice your feet relax i will be focusing on my feet focus on your hands and maybe notice the difference
[01:24:27] difference between each hand perhaps notice the the air in the room the temperature of the room backs of your hands
[01:24:44] may start to notice what almost feels like a very light breeze even though there may not be any type of breeze at all
[01:25:06] where you are right now as you become aware of also aware comes to potentially drift in which may be the reason you're listening these recordings also notice my mind listen back to do the editing i hear snoring and i think i don't remember snoring
[01:27:22] the feeling into the
[01:27:47] hold experience easier your breathing become muscle relaxation this allows you to breathe easier necessarily focusing
[01:30:00] notice breathe so naturally it's so very easily improving visualize a beautiful field some flowers producing all that
[01:32:01] and the feeling of life-giving oxygen feels nice nothing else enjoying seems to just so deep free because nothing requires your attention
[01:37:13] enjoy physical sensations stress toes in your leg and the feeling pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders parts of your body
[01:40:30] back of your neck the back of your neck the feelings in your wrists muscles front of your body also
[01:42:26] the sense of peace goes on your mind very slow the message is every spreading those signals down your spinal cord
[01:49:14] your shins and your calf muscles tranquility reading through your body tips of your toes
[01:50:51] fingers join a sense of letting go letting go focus on your body notice forehead and your eyes
[02:00:10] feeling a sense of absolute freedom blissful peace letting go invisible and you could start to notice that you
[02:10:25] are feeling more relaxed even though i've not purposely focused your mind upon that sense of physical
[02:10:44] physical comfort that is growing within you throughout your body slow down could be almost in almost in recognition of i guess my speech not being particularly
[02:11:12] things just generally just by listening to my voice
[02:11:31] you give yourself an opportunity to take a break take a break from your life as it is and to give yourself a rest giving yourself permission
[02:11:58] to take some time off and to allow your body to relax in turn releases the tension
[02:12:19] any stresses that you had in your body it's almost as if
[02:12:30] the parts of your body just open up at the same time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy which then fills your body up
[02:12:57] and your mind to also appreciate those feelings of
[02:13:12] increasing confidence positive energy that spreads through your body like a wave
[02:13:39] and all this comes from just allowing yourself to be
[02:14:03] just almost reset to the settings of which allow
[02:14:40] things of pleasure if your mind and your body are
[02:15:05] sinking together and it feels nice really does feel nice that you
[02:15:34] you are the one that has allowed yourself to feel more and as i focus
[02:16:18] noticed that that body already focused on or cannot yet focused on just automatically
[02:17:24] anticipation of even mucousine on your forehead
[02:17:42] sense of your forehead mr herbert the pigeon
[02:17:59] means you're in the moment this isn't this isn't a sterile invite the world
[02:18:18] true side focus on your forehead and there's even more relaxing on your eyes
[02:19:12] feel so heavy the muscles around your eyes relaxing
[02:19:28] completely sides of your face moving either side of your spine as you move i can feel the muscles
[02:22:58] muscles in the muscles in the middle also seem to just almost
[02:24:07] different to be an extra special noise muscles that those muscles the feeling in your shoulders
[02:27:45] just almost as if your arms are not even gonna start counting down now 20 down to one you can imagine
[02:42:53] in a way it's like just walking down some steps in each step all 20 steps and each step represents
[02:43:03] the further you you walk down those steps to so starting with number 20 19 13 maybe that was a bit too
[03:16:35] quick maybe it's a bit too fast you expect me to do man just to go floppy you try again
[03:17:09] but this time i'll go a bit slower this time you focus on the whole of your body
[03:17:20] before we focus on your legs just notice body does start every number and just notice how
[03:19:30] how you feel generally how your body feels it's not necessarily even about counting down it's that
[03:19:53] space space between physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down just being there not doing anything
[03:20:25] not saying anything not needing to think about anything so it opens up a space you know a bit of a space
[03:20:37] a gap 10 to 1 the bigger that gap so there's that gap of calmness relaxation it's a nice feeling those
[03:21:21] that gap that gap that gap that gap that gap that gap that gap is not going to be able to do so
[03:21:22] i'm going to count again from 10 down to one and notice that gap and as it widens it's almost like the
[03:21:59] the stress and attention falls into the gap and gives you that distance
[03:22:18] the distance seven how does your notice that i'm just going to start with focusing of course it's not
[03:26:08] the most like most of your body there's not a lot going on just focusing on the whole of your thigh
[03:26:35] tops of your thighs outer thighs and the inner the whole of your thigh that leads into your hip now
[03:27:07] this is a big area the strongest muscles in your body are in your thighs tension
[03:27:40] to our thigh important to our lives they actually do for us all through our lives it will sound really
[03:28:29] weird i think that all of our TLC a bit of love gratitude in a tree or something hard to set a
[03:29:31] microphone doing this indoors otherwise i would be outside hugging a tree you move down to your knees
[03:29:57] i think we don't necessarily i'll speak for myself here i don't necessarily appreciate
[03:30:07] all that my knees do for me until for some reason then it's possibly not appreciated until
[03:30:57] but as you focus on your knees regardless of how your knees feel
[03:31:03] operating of course your ankle slightest it's kind of strange in a way when you think that
[03:32:41] that's not a great way but logically our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms which is okay doesn't i can't see any problem with that if we're just picking stuff up of course there's so much thinner than the rest of our legs from a physics perspective
[03:33:10] or logical even, it doesn't really make sense. But all this weight would ultimately be resting, leading to your fate.
[03:33:41] Horts us, sports our body. And there's the calf muscles of course.
[03:34:14] When I was younger, I couldn't see the point in calf muscles. I didn't seem to do anything. If I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles get some work. But of course that's not true. The calf muscles are being used. And your shins.
[03:35:17] We're going to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs. I mentioned your feet. You're probably focusing on them anyway. So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit. The same as you have your thighs in your wing.
[03:35:46] We're focusing on your thighs.
[03:36:00] There's still that sensation of this hold. Lots of different sensations. Of course there's the muscles.
[03:36:29] The big strong muscles. The outside of all of our body. It can be very sensitive.
[03:37:10] And inside. I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs. And massage.
[03:37:38] You can massage on the outside. Of course. But to be able to get deep into the muscles. To be able to just massage inside your thighs. Massage in the bones.
[03:38:14] Massage in inside your knees. Massage in those bones.
[03:38:19] It's a very sensitive area.
[03:38:53] Because it's an area that's not really touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part. It has a sensitivity which is a little bit different.
[03:39:32] Imagine putting a massage with your fingertips. Massage in the muscle tissue.
[03:39:56] Because they deserve to be treated.
[03:41:04] The precious bones that they are. Because they're so precious. As in all the other parts of our body. More precious than any jewel.
[03:43:39] Supporting all that. Even if you're only eight stones.
[03:43:49] I have relief when I sit down.
[03:44:18] What I said is true.
[03:45:36] They deserve. Not just respect. They deserve to relax.
[03:46:37] Because the legs are so. Such a most. You know. Very important.
[03:47:17] And also in my lower back. It feels stretched. There's no stretching. As far as I'm aware that I'm doing. Muscles are just relaxed so much. That there is a natural.
[03:49:19] And as I count down. If you just focus on. Just the numbers. And notice. Those numbers.
[03:49:55] Not just in your body. But also. You just notice how you feel. There's nothing. There's nothing to say. There's nothing to think about.
[03:51:05] As you notice. The gradual. May also. Begin to notice. And be aware. Of how your mind. Is. Starting. To. Slow down.
[03:51:36] This is just a natural. Thing. That happens. It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural. Because as you're. Body relaxes. Your mind also. Starts to relax. And the more. Your mind relaxes. The more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous. Circle of relaxation.
[03:52:14] Relative quietness. You know. Even. Even. Even if there's background sounds. Your side or mine. Still. Going to be. Television on. There's no music. Unless you're listening to the recording. With music. Of course.
[03:52:44] You're very likely. Not going to be sitting in a room. So. No distractions. And when you stop thinking about stuff.
[03:53:13] Relaxation. Automatically rises. Without trying to build it up into something. Fantastical. This is just.
[03:53:42] A natural process. Something that's. It's almost. You know. The sense of. Relaxing. Completely. Happens really. Not something that you can really force.
[03:54:20] Process. Of. This recording. Is. Simply.
[03:54:53] To just. Be here.
[03:55:48] Process. Of falling asleep. Falling asleep part is.
[03:55:53] You can also.
[03:56:24] If you choose.
[03:57:24] Sensation. dua dice. D armies. Is. Awesome. Katie. I
