#182 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (28th July 2019)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep. My name is Jason Newland, actually Jason Newland, not Jason Newland. Please only listen to this when you can safely close your eyes.

And if you need me to explain to you why it's only safe to listen to a recording which is aimed at helping you to sleep, you know, if you need me to explain why you need to only listen when you can safely close your eyes, then possibly you need to turn it off and get yourself a new brain. Because it's kind of obvious. It's, yeah, I was thinking about that, you know, like what if someone sues you because they listen to this sleep session and they're driving a car and they fall asleep and well, how could that ever be held up in court? I mean that, that, imagine that.

The judge would just, I imagine the judge would just laugh. Everyone would laugh. Imagine going to a lawyer and saying I need you to represent me in court.

Oh, what is it sir or madam? What do you need? What do you need me to represent you for? Well, I was listening to an audio recording on a podcast whilst I was driving and I fell asleep. The recording caused me to fall asleep. It was so boring.

It was so boring, I actually fell asleep while I was driving. And imagine a lawyer saying that's just, I can't believe that. That is, wow, we're going to be able to, this is the easiest case I've ever had in my life.

This is going to be a walk in a park or a swim in the pond. This is going to be an easy, easy, what could be easier? The judge will just like, he won't even need to go to court. It will just be like, of course, you'll win this.

Very simple. In fact, I feel like just giving you money now out of my own account because it's so, it's just, it's a simple, simple one. So what was the, what was the recording called? What was the podcast called? Oh, it's called Let Me Bore You To Sleep.

Ah, I've just discovered a possible problem with our upcoming relationship regarding a court case that is never going to happen. What's that then? I don't understand. What could it possibly be? Hmm? Well, your podcast was called Let Me Bore You To Sleep.

It's probably the most self-explanatory podcast title that you could ever have as far as what the intention is, you know, from the podcaster's perspective. I don't get it. What do you mean? I don't know.

I don't understand. I listened to the Let Me Bore You To Sleep and I thought that it'd make me feel really awake. And I thought that I'd, I'd feel really full of energy and full of, I feel energised.

I mean, when I'm at home, normally, I listen to the Let Me Bore You To Sleep sessions when I'm cutting down trees, when I'm up there with a chainsaw and I've got my headphones on because it's quite noisy, you see, and I'm up there, you know, like 100 foot in the sky with my chainsaw and I'm chopping down the trees. And I thought, well, you know, I need to keep awake. I need to just keep myself really focused.

And so I thought, I know what I'll do. Instead of just having the headphones on to block out the noise of the chainsaw, because they're ever so noisy, you know, it's like sometimes I just thought, oh God, I wish I could hear something else. I wish there was something else I could listen to other than the chainsaw.

It never used to be like that. I mean, when I first started cutting down trees with chainsaws, it was like my hobby. I really enjoyed it.

In fact, what I used to do when I got home, I'd actually go onto the internet, go onto YouTube and there was a video that had sounds of chainsaws and I'd just sit there listening to it for hours and hours. I loved it. But for some reason, after about 10 years, the novelty of the sounds of the chainsaws seemed to just disappear.

And I don't know why. But then I thought, I know what I'll do. I'll get myself like some headphones, you know, like that with noise reduction.

But at the same time, I could listen to a podcast. I mean, to be fair, at the beginning, I didn't know that I was going to listen to a podcast. I thought I might just listen to music.

But, you know, just to start with, to be honest with you, I used to listen to the videos of the chainsaws at the same time. So I'd have the chainsaw on and I'd have the sound of the chainsaw in the headphones. And then someone pointed out that that was ridiculous.

And, you know, I like to learn. I like to do different things. I like to listen.

I like to listen to people's critique. And, you know, when they said, well, why are you listening to chainsaw sounds when you've got headphones on to block out the sounds with a chainsaw? And I thought, hee-hee. You like that? It made me laugh.

Cause that's how I laugh. I go, hee-hee. That's my, I'm very famous.

I'm very well known in the village for the way I laugh. Hee-hee like that. Some people think it's a bit of a strange laugh, but I'm like it, I like it, because it just makes me feel like I'm wanted, and I'm a known quantity in my village, and I think everybody should have something special about them.

But then what happened is I thought, yeah, maybe I should just get rid of the chainsaw sounds on my headphones, because that is a little bit silly, isn't it? I mean, that would be like going deep sea diving with a big tank of gas, of air rather, but gas would be weird, wouldn't it? You're just floating the whole time, you can never get down to the bottom. And then I thought, I'd get me, yeah, instead of having oxygen, and you put in water, that would be the same, wouldn't it?

It'd be, you imagine, you know, diving down into the bottom of the ocean, and then you'd like turn on the tank to get some breath, and it just fills your lungs with water. It's kind of, it wouldn't be nice.

Trust me, I know, it happened to me a couple of times, but I just put it down to, I was popular with the other divers. So, I listened to this podcast, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, and I thought, this is going to keep me wide awake, and I would, it's like the amphetamine of podcasts, that's what I thought. And, but it didn't.

It really didn't. I never. I was so surprised.

I woke up, and I was asleep. And I looked down, I thought, because obviously I lost, I wasn't kind of holding the chainsaw properly, and I was thinking, where's me legs gone? And I looked on the floor, and they were down on the ground. I had to laugh.

But yeah, so that's, that's why I want to take him to court. Because, you know, he didn't say, I mean, he tells jokes and says silly things, and he, you know, he did say at the beginning, only listen when you can safely close your eyes. But I thought it was a joke.

And I'd laugh. I would, I'd laugh. And it was like, it was like a trigger.

Every time I heard it, I laughed. And, but yeah, I don't know. I just want to, I want to take him to court.

Because, you know, I mean, I know it's obviously saving me money on shoes, but that's not the point. I want me money. I want, I want, I don't know if revenge is the right word.

I mean, when I think of revenge, I think of Revenge of Jaws, the movie. And, but, you know, is it Revenge of the Jedi as well? I don't know. I can't remember.

Because it was very, very vague, I think you could say. Very, very vague. And I wasn't happy, if I'm honest.

And I'm not, I'm not miserable. I mean, I still have a good laugh. At least, maybe, make the title of the podcast a bit more obvious.

You know, get the title so it's not so vague. Anyway, what do you think, Mr, Mr. Lawyer? Well, it depends. What does it depend on? Well, are you going to pay me? Yes, of course I'm going to pay you.

Okay, I'll take it then. Because I'm a lawyer. And I take people's money.

And I don't care why. What are you doing? Why are you singing? I don't know, just something I do whenever I get a new, a new client and give me, you know, money and stuff. Oh, that's a bit strange.

The singing lawyer. Okay, Jason, you can get on with it now. Oh, thank you.

That's okay. I think it would be, it's nice to do something a little bit different, isn't it? At the beginning. Because, you know, you always just say, oh, my name's Jason Newland.

Land. What's that even about? Did you just say, what's it about? That's a different accent. Yeah, I know.

I know it is. But it's hard to get back into the accent when I change my voice back to you again. That's a different accent again.

I don't know what you mean. What you, what are you talking about? It's the same accent that I've always used and that I was always doing. See, only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

That wasted 15 minutes. That's good. So, Sunday afternoon here.

And in various other places as well. I'm sure that I don't have a special time zone just for my living quarters. And last night, I didn't make any recordings at all.

Because I couldn't be bothered. Just, I don't know, something about, partly is I wanted to watch the boxing that was on Sky. It was, it was like £7.99 to buy it.

And it started at two o'clock in the morning, which is fine. And I was gonna buy it. It was two world title fights.

And, you know, I love boxing. But then as I got closer to the time, I thought, I don't really know the boxers that are fighting. You know, I'm, I'm a boxing fan, but I don't know every boxer.

You know, there's, in today's world, it would be easier to know, like 30, 40 years ago, you'd know every, if you're a boxing fan, you'd probably know most of the world title holders, the world champions. But because there's so many different titles in each category, and there's so many more categories than there used to be. So it's, it's very, it's difficult unless there's, unless they stand out as being phenomenal.

Or they're maybe, you know, from England and they get a bit of press coverage and, or there's some people I've been following their careers from the start, like Chris Eubank Jr. or Anthony Joshua. Who else? Huey Fury, Joe Joyce. These are people that I've watched from their very first fight, whether on TV or on YouTube, but I followed their careers right from the beginning.

And who else have I followed? Amir Khan. I watched, I watched Amir Khan in the Olympics. Olympics.

Yeah, the Olympics. See, I remember, and this was back in 19, 2000, 2000 and, what would it be? 2008 Olympics. Amir Khan won the silver.

He didn't get the gold, did he? He won the silver. Or did he get the gold? I'm pretty sure he won the silver medal. Or did he get the gold? Oh, there's no way of knowing.

Shall I ask Alexa? Hopefully it's not too loud. If it is then. Alexa, did Amir Khan win gold at the Olympics? This won't answer your question.

In a welterweight matchup on Saturday after six rounds. Did that answer your question? No, it didn't. Why would you? Why? Thanks for your feedback.

Don't be sarcastic. Alexa, don't be sarcastic with me. Sorry, I'm not sure.

Alexa, I love you. Alexa, do you love me? Oh my goodness. I can't even pull an electrical product.

I can't, I can't even get love out of an electrical product. Oh my goodness. I like you as a friend.

I've only ever heard that from humans. That has got to be the lowest point of my life. Oh dear.

Wow. Okay, I'll stop talking to Alexa because it's not helping me. But Amir Khan, he, I followed him.

And literally, because we live too far away to just literally follow him around. But that was the last Olympics with the boxing that I think was good because they had a score points that were on the screen. Which for me is the best way to do it.

It's a scoring point. You know, every time a punch goes to the head or hits the stomach or whatever, it's a point. And you could see as the round was going on, which boxer was ahead.

So there was no need to wait for the score at the end. They still did give a score. They didn't just get out the ring at the end of the fight and just walk off and no one, everyone just carried on eating their sandwiches.

They did give a score and award the win to whoever it was. But I like that and I'd quite like to see that in professional boxing. Because professional boxing is dodgy.

So dodgy. You know, it's like Tyson Fury fought Deontay Wilder a few months back. Or I imagine it might have been December.

So quite a while back. But he outboxed Deontay the whole of the fight. And then in the last round, Deontay Wilder knocked Tyson Fury onto the floor.

But Tyson Fury got back up and started to beat up Deontay Wilder again. And then when it came to the scorecards, when it came to the score at the end, it was classed as a draw. And there's no way it was a draw.

It was a win. Yeah, Tyson Fury lost that last round. Because it's an automatic 10-8, you know, 8-2 points knocked off for the person that gets knocked down.

So if someone gets knocked down, it doesn't matter what they do during the round, they're going to lose that round. Because they've been knocked on the floor, as far as I'm aware. So if that had been a points, if that had been scored by points by, you know, I don't know, a computer system or whatever they used to use on the Olympics, then Tyson Fury would have won that.

But then it's quite interesting because they do do, they do score. The commentators have a system. So when they're watching it, you know, they're saying, and now he's punching him and he's still punching him.

Now he's moving his feet around and, you know, that kind of stuff. Quite often they'll show how many punches were thrown and how many punches were landed. And it doesn't tally up at all with the actual eventual scorecards.

So the three people watching the fight, the judges, who knows what they're thinking about? They might be thinking about what they're going to have for dinner. If one of them's just had an argument with their wife or husband or zebra, whatever, you know, they do, then they might be thinking about that and not really taking much notice of the actual boxing event taking place in front of their eyes. There was one case recently, it's true, is a judge, one of the judges, there's three judges.

In a non-title fight, the referee decides the winner. In a title fight, the judges in professional boxing, in the Olympics and stuff, it's judges and stuff. But in a recent fight, a recent boxing match, a boxer, the judge, didn't even know which boxer, who was who.

So he put down someone to lose, but he put it in the wrong person, the wrong name. So let's say, I forget who it was, but let's say Smith and Jones. Smith clearly won the fight and all the other judges agreed.

But he put down that Jones won the fight, thinking that Jones was Smith. And they didn't look anything like each other. I mean, clearly one had a size 10 feet and the other one had a size 9 feet.

I mean, anyone could have seen that. And one of those had a mole on his left ear. I mean, how could the judges not see that? It was only a little mole, it was tiny, but you know.

And you could see that one of the boxers clearly had, I don't know, he just had something about him. He seemed quite, very focused, very focused. But at the same time, relaxed, you know.

How could the judge not see that? Oh yeah, plus, I forgot this bit, plus, you know, each boxer had their name on their shorts. I mean, that's a little bit of a giveaway. I mean, that's, you know.

I suppose a judge could say, yeah, but I never got to see their shorts. Because they never walked up to me. The thing is, if you can't see the name on the shorts, then you can't really be a referee, or a judge rather, if your eyesight isn't capable of seeing the name on the shorts of the boxer.

Because if you can't see that, how are you going to see the punches? You know what I mean? And I know, I know that a lot of people probably listen to this. Some people will be thinking, or saying, or whatever, what are you talking about boxing for, that's boring. Yeah, that's the point.

It's a boring podcast. And it's supposed to be boring. That is the idea behind this podcast.

Yes, indeed. I had some weird dreams last night. I mean, last night, you know, I had a little bit of a dip.

A little bit of a dip in mood and that. And so, I kind of got to the point where I couldn't really do anything, so I just went to bed. I didn't even properly go to bed.

I don't mean I sort of, like, lie half on the bed and half on the floor. Not that kind of thing. But I didn't put Andre into the living room, anything like that.

In fact, Andre was lying on the bed. And I just got onto the bed and just cuddled him. Went to sleep.

Eventually, he got off and I think, yeah, he was licking my feet and my toes at one point. But he didn't bite them, which I was very surprised because, you know, normally he bites my toes. It's just one of his things that he likes to do.

But he didn't, so I think he got a sense that perhaps it wasn't the best time to be doing that. Because with all the best intentions, if he does that when I'm asleep, there's chances I might kick out. And I'll be asleep.

I won't. I don't mean to do it. So, which is why I generally don't have him in the bed with me when I'm asleep, when I've got my socks off.

I'm not good at that. When I've got my socks on, it doesn't bother me. But I woke up and he'd already got off earlier.

And I think he came back. Because it's quite weird. Sometimes he struggles to get onto the bed.

It's easier when the bed cover's pulled over and he can just grab hold of the mattress and get up that way. But when I'm in bed and I've got the quilt covering me, he can't quite get his grip on it. So what I did is I was putting my hand down onto the floor.

I was still kind of asleep. And I just picked him up so he could get up. And as soon as he was at bed level, he let go of my hand and he crawled right over my face.

He walked over my face. And I was trying to do it so I didn't have to wake myself up. I was half asleep.

And I thought, I'll just pick you up and that. And he just walked over me. I was like, oh, thank you, mate.

And he went to sleep. He's quite cute. Sometimes he likes to... So if I'm tickling his chin or stroking his head or tickling his tummy, I like to give him massages.

So I give him massages, paw his fingers and his hands and his legs and the joints. And just... I don't know. I did massage at college years ago.

I'd probably do the same if I had a baby. Massage is good. It's a bonding thing.

And it's good to just move the limbs around. And I think that we all could benefit if we just did that with each other. It doesn't have to be necessarily a big, full-on massage.

But just the movement of the legs, just picking the legs up and pushing them and perhaps putting a bit of pressure on the bottom of the... Not pressure, but a bit of massage-y pressure on the lower back. And just massaging the chest area and maybe the stomach. Just in the back of the neck as well, in the back.

Well, yeah, full-body massage, really. But it just touches healing. And I do do it to myself.

I often touch myself. And it's for healing purposes. So I'll... Sometimes I'll stroke my arm and I'll kind of stroke my fingers which feels... I'm doing it now, it feels quite nice.

And just sort of gently stroke my fingers up and down my arm. It feels nice. It's like... This is free.

This is free pleasure. There's no alcohol, no drugs, no caffeine, no nothing. It's just natural, physical pleasure.

In fact, I'm doing it up my forearm. I'm getting goose bumps. Not goose bumps, but goose pumps.

I'm getting goose bumps in my biceps. Oh no, wait a minute, it's not a goose bump, it's actually my bicep. That's how small it is.

I have biceps the size of a goose bump. But... It's a start, isn't it? You've got to start somewhere. And the best place to start is at the beginning.

That's what I find. I mean, ask any reader. Any avid reader, the best way to start is at the beginning.

Like watching a film. You might only miss the first five minutes, but you might miss a big bit of it. An important part of the film.

But then you might not. Now I'm sure I was talking about something. I don't remember what.

What was I talking about? Oh, giving yourself physical pleasure. I quite like massaging my scalp. And this isn't really about having done massage.

I was doing a massage course because I didn't learn to do self-massage in the massage course. I mean, I think the only... The thing I noticed, the big muscle group, because the thighs are probably the biggest muscle in your body, and the strongest one is possibly your thighs. And if you put your... If you strike down your leg to where your knee is, you know, the top of your leg, and then move down probably a few inches, and there's the side of your leg.

And I noticed years ago, this is when I was in my early 20s, that there's... It's not the side of the leg, but it's kind of in between the top and the side. And it's a muscle group that when you massage it, it feels really nice. It's just a case of like digging your fingers in, but only in a way that, you know, as long as it feels okay.

Obviously, if you've got a... If you've got some kind of injury in your leg, don't do it because, you know, imagine that. Yeah, I've... I want to take you to court. I listened to your recording, and you said to dig my fingers deep into my leg to massage the muscle.

Okay, so what's the problem? Well, I'd only just had an operation on my leg, and there's lots of stitches in it, and all the way up the thigh, and it's really painful. And then when I started digging my fingers in, it really hurt and it injured it even more because the stitches and the operation hadn't healed yet. And that's my fault how? Well, you told me to put my fingers and dig it into the thigh, and therefore, you're responsible for what I did because, yeah, I can't think for myself, I imagine.

I mean, luckily, in England, we're not as... Is it lititious? Litici... Litigate... I can't say the word. But litigating. Litigating.

Lititious. I'm sure it's litigious, whatever. But we don't... There's less of the suing each other constantly that apparently happens more in America than most places, apparently.

It's supposed to be quite a big thing. But in England, it is growing. Basically, England is becoming... We embrace America in a big way.

I'm not sure America realizes that. Our biggest influence in the world is America. Our biggest influence.

Whether it's culturally, musically, films, behavior, even speech. America is England's biggest influence. It has been for a long time.

And it's... There's a big connection between America and England that I'm not sure everyone kind of acknowledges. We are related. We are brother and sister.

America and England are brother and sister. And not just because we used to own America. But we are the same family.

And technically, we love each other. America and England love each other. Of course, not everybody loves everyone else.

And some people are anti-American. Some people are anti-English. There's plenty of... Since we're plenty of anti-Americans that live in America and plenty of anti-English that live in England.

That's kind of the way it is. But we're brothers and sisters. We're related like closely.

The closest bond. And it seems that we're closer in some ways than even America and Canada are. Even though America and Canada are joined together.

And Canadians have a... Not an American accent. But it's a similar kind of accent. But then I don't know culturally with Canada how much of America is kind of spread there.

I imagine America's been very much influenced by Mexico as well. Because Mexico being next door. Their next door neighbor.

There's no river. There's no sea separating them. As far as I'm concerned, if there's no sea... If you're not an island... If it's an island, everything's an island.

You've got sea surrounding you, you're an island. You're not an island. You're an island.

Like England is an island. Or Britain is an island. Ireland is an island.

The Isle of Man is an island, you know. And then... No, let's call it a continent. No, let's not.

Let's call it an island. You're surrounded by water. It's just one big country.

Really. Controversial. It's a mixture between being controversial and just really ignorant.

It's like, what are you talking about? You're talking nonsense. Yeah. That's what I'm supposed to be doing.

I'm supposed to be talking absolute nonsense. That's the point of this. Dibbly-dobbly-doo.

So... I mean, look, we've got... We've copied... Not copied, but we've kind of... Maybe... But we've kind of followed America in having the leader... Our new Prime Minister is... I don't want to say the word populist. He's popular. You know, he's famous.

He's a celebrity. Just like Donald Trump was before becoming President. He was a celebrity.

A very, very famous one in America. Well, around the world, I suppose, but in America. And... What's his name? Not Trump.

Boris... Not Yeltsin. Johnson. He is... Really popular.

Because of his personality. Because he's funny. Because he's... People... Even people that aren't members of his... You know, party.

People that are... He's got fans that are Labour and Liberals and... Just because of him. They might not like what he stands for, but... They still, perhaps, like him. They like... They find him funny.

Not everybody, obviously. Because he's been controversial. And... I'm not sure he's... He's a bit obsessed with letterboxes, but... When was the last time he even went near a letterbox? That's all I'd like to ask.

To do that for him. To go post letters. So he's... He's the new Prime Minister as from... Tuesday.

Well, Wednesday, I think it was. He was... Diagnosed into it. So, what's it now? Sunday.

So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So it's now the fifth day of... Him being Prime Minister of this... This... Great nation of ours. So politicians now... They say, and even on the news... They say Ireland.

Instead of saying Ireland like we used to... They say the Ireland of Ireland. So why don't we do that with all the other countries? That are islands. The Ireland of Britain.

Because, you know... Britain. We've got... Scotland. We've got Wales.

We've got Cornwall. There's some people that want... Cornwall to be a different country. In fact, didn't it used to be? I think.

At one time, didn't Cornwall be... Wasn't that classed as a... A separate country? Again, I'm making it up. Sounds like it could be true. But you know what? I don't care.

I don't care. I just... I just want my chainsaw back. And he played... He played a... He was on the way to a... To see a customer.

And he was trying to motivate himself. So he had an audio tape playing. While he was driving.

And all... And for those that have ever listened to... Motivational audios... And I've... I have... Been doing that for many years. And I've listened to... So many different ones. But this... This all is said... And I've listened to Sal's... Sal's recordings as well.

Motivational for selling. And... Yeah, I like all that stuff. But this recording just said... It started... It was just a voice shouting... Sal! Sal! And it was some swear words.

F'ing Sal! Sal! Just shouting it out. At him. And it was just funny.

And another... It was this sitcom thing. I think it was Six Floor. Or Six Stories High.

With... A comedian. Comedian is on... Seven Out Of Ten Cats. Sean Locke, that's it.

So Sean Locke, I think he wrote... And he starred in this sitcom. That was in the 90s, I think. It was really good.

I liked it. But I don't know why they didn't... Make more episodes of it. And it was set in a tower block.

And I think Sean Locke played a swimming... Not instructor. But a lifeguard. And... Occasionally what they would do is... They would show other... Tenants in the council tower block.

So other people. There was one... That had a donkey... Living in his room. One of his rooms.

And... And there was a few different things. But there was... It kept coming back to one person. And he was making... He was doing what I've been doing... For the last 13 years.

Making audios. And... He was making... A relaxation session. So he was like sitting there.

And he had his... Microphone in his hand. He had a tape recorder. And he was saying... Now you're gonna feel really relaxed and calm.

And... They showed him talking for about 30 seconds. And then there'd be loud music... From one of the other flats. And he's... And the man making the relaxation sessions... Would just lose it.

And start shouting and chucking... Chucking a tape recorder around and... Punching the wall and stuff like that. And it's just... It's funny. That someone's like, you know, trying to make a... Relaxation session.

When they're really not relaxed themselves. And I've kind of been in that situation in the past. Where... I've been making recordings.

And... I don't know, I'm sitting here making a relaxation session. And it's really quiet. And then a lawnmower starts.

And... Admittedly I don't... Act all... Weird and start getting angry. But... Occasionally it catches me off guard. Especially when I've... Set the time out.

And I'm kind of, you know, know what I'm going to do. And I'm in the mood to do it. And then suddenly... You know... Loud music starts getting played.

I mean the other day we had two... In the same block. Just got a fence in our garden. Over the fence there's another... Block of council places.

And we actually had... Two of those flats. Blaring music out. Two different songs.

And I was just like... Just... This is... It was just confusing my mind. So it's like they were having a competition. I guess one was... It might be in a case if one had loud music.

And the other one just put on their own loud music. To blank out that person's loud music. And... So then they turned theirs up.

And you know... So... I... Now... I've got some new headphones. So I can listen to music. And... Because my other headphones, they weren't very loud.

And they had... But I've got some wireless ones. So I can listen to music and it's loud. If I want it to be.

And it blocks everything else out. There's no sound outside of the headphones. And I can also watch TV.

Videos. And you know whatever with it as well. So that's really good.

It just means that... I... I don't have to listen to other people's music. Although it gets... It's weird though. Because when I was younger.

Or in previous... Places of living. Sometimes... There'd be... People younger than me playing... Bass music. Music with really loud bass.

And the... The whole building would be shaking. You know the way that when a car goes past. And it's got really loud bass.

And it does shake the building, doesn't it? Imagine having that inside one of the rooms of the building. And... That... That's difficult. And then I moved into this place a few years back.

And... There was loud music. In the room next to me. And initially I was like... I'm gonna get my... I was preparing to get angry.

But... It wasn't bass music. There was no bass. It wasn't shaking anything.

It was just volume. Plus... He was playing sounds that I liked. He was playing music that I liked.

Stuff from the 80s. I just listened to his music. So I just... I turned mine off.

And I just sat at the computer doing what I was doing. And I just listened to his music until he turned it off. And then I turned mine on.

Because everything he played was good. It wasn't all 80s. Some of it was 70s.

It was the jam and... Stuff that I don't play myself but I do like. And... Stuff from my early, early childhood. That was really popular back then.

Like late 70s. But I never bought albums in the late 70s. I never bought records.

Tapes or anything like that. But I did listen to it on the radio. And I did listen to it... On Top Of The Pops.

But then... I think my very first... Album that I ever bought. It was a tape. And I'm pretty sure... It was... The best of Buddy Holly.

Now... When I say that was the first album I bought. It wasn't the first album I had. Because... I got bought albums for birthdays and stuff.

Like records. You know proper... You know album, vinyl. And... I had the best... I think the Bee Gees.

I had an ABBA album. I had... The Baron Knights album. Which I still wish I had.

Because that was one of my favourite albums of all time. And... I used to listen to my dad's albums as well. So he had... He had an album which was... Theme tunes.

From films, like famous films. Like Star Wars, Superman. And the... Spaghetti Western films.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. 2001 Space Odyssey. You know there's like loads of really famous films.

At that time. And I loved that album. And I just lay down on my bed.

And I just listened to it. And I just felt so relaxed. And I'd let the... The vibrations... Penetrate me.

And... Because you get that even though it wasn't... Bass. You know it's just a normal... Turntable. With speakers probably inbuilt.

Inbuilt probably. But there's that... Energy isn't there? Music. The energy.

I think it does kind of... Enter your body. It fills you. Fills you with... The energy connects perhaps with your energy.

I don't know how it works. But it's... Sound is an energy. Sound is a... It's a frequency isn't it? And... I just used to find it really... Really relaxing.

And I do... I've done that in the past. I have listened to... Like classical music. I've spent a lot... Many times I've listened to classical music to relax.

But... For me... Classical music... Does not involve opera. And that's where... A lot of classical music... Will have opera. On an album.

And I realised that... A lot of the classical musicians... They wrote music for operas. But I don't... I don't really like the singing. I prefer to just listen to the music.

When it comes to... Piano or... Like a big band. Whatever. I don't mean band as an elastic band.

I mean like music... Drums or... Trumpet. I'm not so crazy about the trumpet. But... Violin.

I suppose really... My favourite musical instruments to listen to... Auditarily would be... The piano. The violin. And the... Bass.

Is it bass? Cello. Because cello is just a... Basically cello is a pregnant violin, isn't it? So it's... I used to play the violin when I was a kid. When I was little.

But... I think the cello would have been more fun. Because you didn't have to... You had to get it from one place to another. But once it was there... You didn't have to... Hold it up to your chin.

You'd have to be a giant, wouldn't you? To have a cello. I used to think it was called a bass. Maybe it's called a bass as well.

A cello bass. Anyway... That's enough... Of this... For... Today. And I'll speak to you next time.

Bye bye bye. Bye.
