#412 Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland (28th May 2020)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You to Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. And just to let you know that I also have other podcasts, Deep Sleep Whisper, Relaxation Hypnosis of Stress, Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Sleep Hypnosis Weekly, among others.

So yeah, I do other things too. I just actually recorded a new relaxation hypnosis for stress recording which is pretty groovy. You might want to check it out.

And what's it called? It's called Amazing Loved and Deeply Relaxed or I don't know, something like that. So yeah, hope you're all well. It is 1.51am on, what day is it? Thursday the 28th of May 2020.

Yeah, so that's groovy. Yeah, so I've got a few messages. I'll read them out.

Let me have a quick look. Andre, I do apologize. Andre's always being naughty whenever I make a recording.

Don't hear nothing from him for hours sometimes. And suddenly he's just making weird noises in the background. As soon as I started recording, I now actually, I don't know if I mentioned it, I've moved his cage into the living room.

He doesn't sleep in his cage anymore. He hasn't done for a long time. But what I do now is when I'm making a recording in the bedroom, sort of like a relaxation session or deep sleep whisper, I put him into the cage and he don't like it.

He really don't like it. In fact, earlier on, he just must have known that that's what I was going to do. Because he started, he hid.

Literally, he hid. All I was doing was just getting ready. I didn't even do anything that I really know.

I must have moved the tablet into the bedroom. But I thought he was asleep when I did that. I came back in and he was looking at me.

I went over to the cage and I came back and he was gone. I could hear him underneath the chair, the big black squeaky chair that's fallen apart. As I'm calling him saying, Andre, lollipops, come and get your lollipops.

And he came out. I got to pick him up and he starts to run away. It's like he knew.

That's weird. He's a clever little boy. So I put him in there.

He was only in there for like half an hour. It's not a huge amount of time really. And the good thing about, when he's in here, at least he can see what's going on.

And if he was in the storage room, it'd be dark, which is not going to bother him, but this is his environment. This is his home. So he can look around.

He can see around. He can't see me because I'm in another room, but he can still kind of keep an eye on stuff. That's how my brain works anyway.

So today, or yesterday, really, since I last made a recording, I done a few things. Let me just read out the messages that I've had. And let's have a look.

I've had a couple of messages. I'm just going to have a quick look to see where they is. Message, me, me, me, me.

Okay, right. So I had a message from Emmett, and it says granite. And that's not a very bit of a weird message.

And I've got another message. So I'm going to be careful how I read this because I'm not going to read the bits that the person doesn't want me to read. Hey, Jason, it's me again.

Not feather. I'll put my name but please don't read it out. So I'm not gonna read it out.

Your podcast really cracked me up after you read out my message. I was really excited for you to read it the whole time. And when you mentioned my name, I got even more excited.

I was shouting in my mind, get to the messages. Because boxing and sport is boring.Me to say that I can't have too much can't be too boring.

Did I mention the podcast I listened to? I don't think so. I listened to let me bore you to sleep. This is a very long message.

So I'll stop here. But expect more by so that is from feather. Thank you feather.

And then I got a review. It says, I suffer from insomnia. This is a review on my website.

So you can see this by also read out messages as well to everyone. As you know, I suffer from insomnia. I'm a kid is not that bad.

But when you go to sleep at 10 and up to two, it's not that great. And this podcast always works. I'm talking about let me bore you to sleep.

It's either this or the sleep hypnosis that helps me to sleep. I also laugh a lot at it. Thanks, Jason.

That's very nice. Thank you. And I think that's all the messages.

I got another message. This is a sales message. Hello, we know that times are tough right now for everyone around the world and we're about to help.

We are reaching out to let you know that gain rank.com which is an SEO, search engine optimization. Go away. So that's that.

Let me see what other messages I've got. I have other messages. I got a message from Rachel.

Please, your Heinz parcel is being delivered by herpes. Please will you let me know when parcel is right. So Rachel, my message to you and your message is, yeah, my package was delivered.

Thank you very much. So Rachel sent me a package of some baked beans, some soup and some hoops. Yeah, it was a box full of quite heavy box.

Thing is, so thank you very much, Rachel. It's but very much so. And the person knocked on my door and I said, who is it? What you want? Because I didn't recognize him.

He didn't have anything in his hand or, you know, not that I want people knocking on my door with things in their hand. I'm just saying he didn't have the, you know, the thing they tap on and the delivery people. So I said, hello.

He said, yeah, I've come to collect something. I said, not for me, you ain't. And he said, oh, wait a minute.

And he started looking at something. I don't know what it was. And he said, oh, sorry, mistake.

It's got a delivery. And he'd already put it down on the floor. So I didn't realize.

I've just left a delivery up there. I said, okay, thanks, bye. So I didn't open the door.

But I did open the door eventually and had a look. And it was the box from Rachel. But it was just weird because someone's knocking on my door saying I've come to collect something.

It's like, all right, well, I'm going to leave the door locked then. Thank you very much. So, yeah, I got those.

I put them into the cupboard. It's filled my cupboard up. This always says like, four, eight, I don't know, 16 tins.

Was it 12 tins? It was 16 tins, like two tins of two packs of beans, one pack of ravioli and one pack of soup. 16 tins. That's 16.

What's two 16s? 16, 32. Don't judge me. Do not judge me for taking so long to do two 16s.

That's 32 meals for me. You know, on a bit of toast. Not soup.

I wouldn't drip soup on toast. But, you know, actually, no, it's not 32 meals. I would drink a whole can of soup.

But I would, with the beans, I'd only have half a tin. Don't eat a whole tin of beans. And with the ravioli, I'd only have half a tin of ravioli.

So what I would do, I'd put it into a bowl, cover it over with, you can't say this isn't boring. This is a very boring story. It's too, but I can't even bother to finish the sentence.

And I'll cover it over with a covering and I'll put it into the fridge. Yeah, because it'll keep it nice and cool for me for another time. But I don't, I don't eat, I wouldn't eat a whole tin of beans.

It's, I think some people think that I'm not as boring as what I make out. I really am. I got a message from Jen.

It says, Hi, Jason. Yeah. Something about a comment.

Always support you with your podcasts. And I help in so many people and do amazing work. Lots of love.

Thank you. And it's about 74 different messages. So I'm just going to go through them.

Just PS, you are so right about elderly people with online services with a GP. Just mention of internet, et cetera, makes my mom nervous. I'm there for my mom, but some elderly haven't any family to help them with technical stuff.

Anyway, I can't say contemplative either. LOL. So that's lots of love.

I think. What about the word jewellery? That's a hard word. Jewellery, jewellery, jewellery I'm alright with.

Although I wouldn't, because I don't wear Jen, because Jen, Jen, listen, Jen, because I don't wear jewellery. I don't think of jewellery. I know it doesn't really make sense for all aspects of my life, because there's lots of things I don't wear that I would talk about.

And I can't, I don't only talk about things I wear, otherwise it'd be limited to underpants, tracksuit bottoms, and a top that's had way too much ice cream and smudged all over it. So, yeah, but jewellery, no, I'm okay with jewellery. I think I struggled when I was at school with the word Wednesday, because it's spelled Wednesday.

And that didn't make sense to me. Wednesday. And there was an advert last year or the year before, and they were advertising, I should go through the whole thing again.

You probably, a lot of people probably know this, but some people might not know. In America, your chips, we call crisps. And your fries, we call chips, although we don't really, we also call fries because of McDonald's and stuff.

But crisps are the equivalent of like potato chips, sort of in America, and maybe Canada and other places. And I don't know why we call them crisps, just in my lifetime, it's how it's been. Anyway, there was this advert, and the person advertising it kept saying crisps as in crips, crisps.

And I thought if, I know that, you know, people have, a few people have had to sort of go at me for saying I've got speech impediment, and I lisp a little bit. And I know I do, and I don't speak perfectly. And sometimes I whistle, but not often.

And however, if I was going to do an advert and spend probably, you know, adverts cost a lot of money to produce, and then also to pay for. So that it might be a multi-million pound advertising campaign. I don't want the person advertising to be able to say the word of the product.

So I wouldn't be the best person to advertise a whistle, or not a whistle, a wasp. Who'd sell a wasp? I don't know. It's really weird, you know, when you've got a bit of a lisp or a bit of a speech thing, and you try and do it purposely, or purposefully, and I can't do it now.

It's like when you go to the dentist with a toothache, and he says, which tooth is it? And you're like, oh, I don't know, the pain's gone now. Just take them all out. Whistle, whistle, whistle, whistle.

I don't really, I don't have any gaps, like big gaps in my tooth. At the back, on the left hand side, I had two teeth removed, but over a long period of time. I don't mean I was in the dentist's chair for like years and years and years.

I mean, I'd one out when I was about 18, and the next one got taken out when I was about 40. So there's, you know, quite a bit of time difference between the two. And now, on the right hand side of my mouth, the bottom bit, the dentist had been basically using this one tooth that's just, it's not very functional.

It's just got a filling in. It's basically hollow, really. It's got a filling in, and it keeps having to be refilled.

But in order to keep the filling in, they've drilled into about three other teeth in order to keep that tooth in. So they've ruined, ruined, possibly three other of my teeth, to the point where they've chipped away half of the next one, just to sort of cement it in. And my opinion is just get rid of the thing.

If it's of no use, just take it out. Oh, no, but we don't want to do that because, you know, teeth are important. Well, yeah, I know.

I'm not being willy nilly for nilly about it. I'm just saying, if it's going to cause lots of problems, then remove it. It's one tooth.

I'm not saying remove my arm, am I? I'm not sort of, no, I'll just take it off then. Don't worry. No, it's a tooth.

Well, some people might say tooth. If you do pronounce tooth, tooth, then you're incorrect. You know, no offence, but get yourself an education.

Tooth. Ruff. Where's the aerial? It's on me ruff.

No, it's not. It's on your roof. O-O-F.

R-O-O-F. Not R-U. U-U-U-F.

Ruff. It's not a dog. Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff.

Where's the aerial? It's on the ruff. No, I'm not getting a good reception if you've stuck it to the back of a dog running around. So I, I'm talking about teeth.

Dogs running around. Just to mention of internet access, this is Jen. She left a message.

I can't say I'm palentitative. By the way, I was put in the dance class for Maths 2. All we did was read magazines because the local teacher hadn't turned up for the lesson with us. Okay, we'll stop typing.

I don't expect to read any of this in your podcast. It's just to say, just to say privileged to be a friend of yours, Jen. Stop it.

It's a privilege to be your friend, Jason. It's not a privilege. Don't, don't be silly.

I welcome you to be my, to, to listen to my stuff and I will read out what you write. So as I do everybody, I do, unless it's like personal, personal, you know, if someone I'd like with Feather, she said, don't read out my name. I said, okay, I'm not going to do that if someone says that.

But I do, I can't reply to messages from underage people. I'm not. See, I used to be a counsellor.

I still am, but not professionally performing as a counsellor. It's like being in the circus, being a counsellor. Great performance today.

That was brilliant. And so I used to counsel young people as well as adults. And so I had to learn the law about, you know, when it came to child protection and what the rules were and everything.

Now, of course, the rules change constantly. I don't know what they are now, because this was going back a few years, but you can't have contact with someone under the age, the legal age, which in this country is 16. And you can't have, you can't, I think it's, you can have one contact with them.

And after that, it's, it becomes illegal, like, so unless they're like a family member, or, you know what I mean, your niece, or I suppose your daughter, I suppose you are allowed to talk to your kids. And so I will communicate through my recordings to whoever contacts me, but I won't personally reply to anybody who's not an adult. To be fair, I don't really, I don't really reply too much to anybody anyway, because that's what these recordings for, because you get to be part of this.

And I'm just surprised at how it's only been really the last six months, I've had a handful of young people sort of tell me how they listen. And admittedly, most of those have been with their parents, you know, the parents have sort of told me that they listen and stuff. But I just didn't think, I'm like, how did they come across my stuff? I didn't, I don't know, I just, I don't know how anybody comes across it.

How does anyone find my podcasts outside of people that are already on Facebook? Because I don't get that many, well, not to my website, anyway, I don't get a huge amount of people from Facebook go to my website. I do get some, but it's as far as the, I don't want to say the word stats, but as far as the podcast stats go, it's very much YouTube, not YouTube, iTunes is the main place. And after iTunes, I think Spotify, and then Stitcher, Castbox.

And, you know, there's lots and lots of different podcast apps that I'm on. I'm on loads and loads and loads. I'm all over the place.

I really am. I don't know why. It's just lucky, I guess.

Or other people are just unlucky. But I've just seen this, I've just looked at Boston Chicky, he's my friend on Facebook, and she's got a picture of, what's his name? Oh, okay. So, yeah.

What's this thing on Facebook with avatars? I know what an avatar is, I'm just, I didn't want, is anyone, did anyone here listen to me? Does anyone listen to me? Did anyone watch Avatar, the film? I know that some people did, because it was the biggest box office hit of all time, wasn't it, at the time. It was absolutely massive. Hard to believe, but it was huge, bigger than Independence Day, and bigger than ET.

But it wasn't. Nothing was bigger than ET. So go buy how much money they make at the box office.

ET, it costs like, you know, basically you could get into it to watch ET with a couple of buttons from your shirt. It was cheap as anything, it was like early 80s. ET, at least 100 billion people watched ET.

No film's going to match that for the amount of people who watched it, or the amount of people that watched it since either on television. I don't know why I'm such a big supporter of ET. It's just a great film, isn't it? It is a great film.

It's more adult than I realised at the time, you know, with the whole... Yeah, it's funny. It's for kids, but it is also for adults. And I think that was the thing, because I think it's a little bit unfair on parents.

Maybe it's not unfair, but if a parent is going to sit through a film that lasts for maybe an hour and a half, two hours, and the film is just for kids, and it's just going to be kind of boring for the adult, perhaps. I'm just putting this out there. There's so many of the films now, and maybe there were less in the past, but very much now in the last 20 years or so, very funny.

It's on different levels. So, you know, I know that the Disney films were lovely and beautiful, and the early, you know, like Mickey Mouse. What's that one that was the magic, the magical one? The Apprentice? Is it The Witch's Apprentice or something? And, you know, Cinderella and Mary Whitehouse and the Three Hares or whatever, you know.

Hunchback and The Hound. Never saw Tarzan. Was Tarzan any good? Because when I was a kid, right, I'll be honest with you, I used to be a kid.

Selling a drink. And I think it was on a Saturday night. It might have been a Sunday night.

Might have been a Saturday night. I can't 100% be sure. But there was an, I think it was after the Pink Panther.

Not the film, but the TV show. Oh, Pink Panther, Pink Panther. He's a panther that is ever so pink.

Another acrobat, you know, the Pink Panther. Pink Panther from the head, from his toes. He's the one and only, truly original.

Panther, Pink Panther from head to toes. Boom, boom. That was Beverly Brush.

But yeah, Pink Panther used to be on. And then there used to be a Disney film. Well, not a film, but like an hour, an hour long episode of something.

Sometimes it'd be cartoons. Sometimes it'd be a real life, you know, I don't know, a real life episode of people, humans moving around. You know, not animation, non animation.

Sometimes it'd be mixed animation as well. And there'd be the start of it. And there'd be the fireworks and a picture of Disney World or whatever, you know, the tower and stuff.

And there'd be fireworks. And it's like, oh, brilliant. And I used to cross my fingers and say, please let it be.

I didn't want it to be a cartoon. I want it to be a real life, non animation. Because that's what I preferred from Disney.

I liked the Disney films, the Disney real life stuff. It wasn't that I didn't like animation or cartoons, because I did, but not on an evening. You know, it was, I like weird dicks, but not for Sunday lunch, not for Christmas dinner.

You know, there's a time and a place for everything. Well, not everything, apparently, according to the law, you know, but there are, as far as TV goes. And I quite used to like, there was one, I'm pretty sure it was a Disney film, and it was about an orphan.

It might have been Hayley Mills, but I'm not sure. I fell in love with Hayley Mills, which is ironic because she was my age when I was watching it. But she was my age when she filmed it.

So I'd be watching that, she'd probably be about 11, 12. I'll be about 11 or 12 when I was watching it, whatever film she was in. But she'd made those films like 10, 15, well, 20 years earlier in the 60s.

So here's me really liking her and wanting to be with her. Yet she was probably older than my parents, in her 90s or something. I was like, wow, I loved Hayley Mills.

I fell in love with Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk as well, at a thing that I watched. It was a, what do you call it, pantomime. This is when I lived in Southend.

We used to go to the pantomime. The nuns used to take us to, because there's a pier at Southend. It's the longest pier in Europe, I think, or at least it used to be.

I think it's burnt down a couple of times and stuff, but it was still a really, really long pier. It takes about seven weeks to walk down it, depending on what speed you go. Most people could do it in about an hour, 40 minutes.

And it used to be really active. There used to be a lot on there, but they've got on the, I'm not sure if it's actually the pier or it's near the pier, but they've got a pavilion and like a big theater and stuff. So we used to go there.

I mean, they've got shows every weekend. They still do. I've got a friend that lives there and she said, yeah, she said, why do you keep phoning me? I said, well, you're my friend.

She said, I know, but don't have to call me every day. I said, well, I just want to hear about what's on at the theater. She said, I told you that on Friday.

It's only Friday and Saturday night. You don't need to phone up every day to know what's on. Why don't you phone then? I said, well, that's a bit rude.

She said, it's not rude, it's practical. You're not going to phone me up for train timetables, are you? I thought it was funny that you mentioned it. I was wondering, not train, but wondering when the next bus is to town.

She said, well, it's every hour, isn't it? That's besides the point. I said, I'd like to stop this conversation now, if that's all right. She said, yeah, that's kind of what I want.

I said, because you know, I'm actually in the middle of a recording. She said, why are you calling me in the middle of a recording then? I said, I don't know. It just, you came up and I just, you know, she said, why? Why do you keep doing this? I told you, I'm going to have to get in touch with the police again.

I'm sorry. I said, why'd you laugh when you say that? She said, it wasn't me laughing, it was you. What do you mean? Well, you said it, didn't you? Oh, don't go down through that again.

It's too confusing. Everything's confusing to you. Not everything's confusing to me.

Andre's not confusing. Well, sometimes I do wonder what he does. Sometimes when he's underneath the chair or when he's underneath his blanket and his head's bobbing up and down, but I don't know what he's doing for like 20 minutes.

He's probably the cleanest ferret on the planet. She said, you really say some pretty disgusting things. I said, no, I don't ever.

I say nice things. You're just a prude. I shouldn't have said that.

She said, I said, you do say that again. I'll go over there, I'll come and get you. I said, look, put your broomstick down.

There's no reason to come over here. I'll leave you alone. She said, you're distracted by the telly now, aren't you? I said, no.

It's that woman on the telly you're looking at. How do you know I'm looking at a woman on a telly? I know that when you do these recordings, you have the TV on mute and you're looking, you're looking at her. I said, it's a TV screen.

I'm allowed to look at a TV screen. Just like I'm allowed to look through a window. That's what they're there for.

Yeah, but not binoculars. That's what binoculars are for, isn't it? What's spying on your neighbours? No, but to look through. Buying binoculars isn't illegal.

Therefore, using them can't be illegal either. Climbing trees isn't illegal. So using binoculars isn't illegal.

Climbing trees isn't illegal. Having a picnic isn't illegal. So just if you put all those three things together, why does it suddenly make it a crime? She said, I've got to go.

I said, all right. I'll speak to you tomorrow. She said, okay, cool.

Love you. You too. Bye.

And we all lived happily ever after, covered in syrup. I don't have any other messages. There was a reason.

There used to be a reason. I had a weird day, weird day yesterday. As I got up, woke up about, I watched Cheers on telly, which was on at 6.30. It showed two episodes and I went to bed.

So they last about 25 minutes each one. They show an episode that's got Rebecca in it. Rebecca's so funny.

I think it's amazing. And I don't know if they'd have been able to do it with Sam. I don't know if they'd have been able to find another person that could have kept the show going if Sam left.

But they did it. I mean, I did it really well with, what's his name? Coach. And Woody came and then Diane left and Rachel, is it right? Rebecca.

Sorry, Rebecca came in. Completely different personalities, but brilliant. Both of them brilliant.

And Rebecca being able to just cry in a second, always just, I just love her. I just, I loved her in that show. And I loved, but then see for me, I remember both when I was a kid, but I suppose I've got more memories of Rebecca because I was a bit older as I was watching the end of the show coming to an end, like in the early nineties.

I think it was still going about 91, wasn't it? I think. And I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure. So I watched it.

I started watching Cheers on a little black and white television in my bedroom when I was about 14, maybe 15, 14. Yeah, 14. And it was, it was on really late at night.

It was about 12, one o'clock or 11. I don't know. It was quite late.

And I loved it. I just loved it. And that theme tune, it's one of my favorite TV theme tunes ever.

So I've got more memory of Rebecca, how in the show, but then seeing Diana or Diane and in the, like the original show, the original sort of first few seasons, which is so funny. It's just, it's just brilliant, the whole show. And in some ways it probably was better when it first started in some ways, you know, the original crowd and it was new, it was fresh, but I just loved it.

I loved it right to the end. I mean, it was in some ways, I think every, every sitcom, not every sitcom, but most sitcoms that I've watched or even TV series is they sort of, sometimes they lose their way a little bit. They sort of maybe run out of ideas or, and I think it must just be quite difficult for someone that's put everything into doing one, you know, they've spent years getting a, getting a television show on, they've written a script and they're trying to sell the script to TV studios.

And finally you get a TV show and they get it, you know, produced and they get paid some money, but probably not a huge amount of money, but, you know, compared to sort of the big stars and that, but it's a lot of money to them, but it's still maybe the actors are kind of unknown. So none of the actors are getting paid huge amounts of money and it's a sort of a hit and miss, you know, it's a trial. Hopefully this will be good and then people will like it.

If they don't, then we just don't do another season, another series. And then it's this success and then suddenly the pressure's on and the person who wrote it is told, oh, we want another season. We want to, we want you to get a contract for another three seasons or four seasons or something.

And we're going to pay you $10 million. That's a lot of pressure. I've got no idea if that happens, but I'm just guessing because I think with Prison Break, what a brilliant show for the first season and the second season, possibly, but then it just, it goes like, how many prisons can they be put into and how many different prisons can they break out of? I didn't know there were that many prisons in the world.

Seriously, it just got, they might have just, they could have really just renamed it eating a burger. I've just gone into different burger bars, burger places and had something to eat because it was like that, like, oh, another prison. It just, it did get silly, but I did love it.

But the last season, I was like, oh man, it just got, just got silly. It did. Lost is another one.

I probably would say Lost is my favorite ever, one of my favorite ever TV shows. The first, probably the first three seasons, perhaps, maybe four even, but that first season of Lost, because what they did, which most TV shows haven't, in my experience, in my opinion, it's just my opinion, most TV shows don't do so much is the cliffhanger. And if they do do a cliffhanger, they then spoil it by showing a clip of the next episode where the person that's in trouble is sitting there smoking a cigar.

Oh, and I know logically, it's the star of the show, like with Doctor Who or James Bond, you know that they're going to be okay and they're the star and they're not, you know, they're going to be fine. That's not the point. You know, the point is to have that cliffhanger, which Lost did.

And it wasn't just the cliffhanger. It was so weird and nothing. And it was unraveling, but it didn't, let's face it, the whole thing didn't really make sense even at the end, which I liked.

I liked that. It was never, I don't know, it's just one of my favourite TV shows. I might actually watch it again, like the first season, just to sort of enjoy it again.

But I don't generally like to watch things more than once. Here's me talking about watching Cheers every night, every morning. And I've seen them before, but it's not that, it's a comedy sometimes.

And if I haven't seen something for a long time, so with Cheers, it might be like 20 years since I really saw it. And now I'm sort of watching back old episodes, but I don't remember them because it's such a long time ago that I watched them. But maybe 30 years ago, wow, can't believe I'm 103 years old.

It's amazing. I liked Six Foot Under. Now I was surprised I liked that.

Because I got it from Blockbusters, and it was just a box set. I went through a little phase. My voice is going all croaky, I'd have a drink.

A drink of gravel, that should help. Mmm, that's lovely. Now, it's really helped my voice.

So yeah, I am six foot, six feet under, not six foot under, six feet under. Loved it. Absolutely loved it.

There was another show I really liked. But I did, I watched the box set that was streaming. And you may never have heard of it.

You might have done, you might have done obviously, but you might not have done. It depends whether or not you've heard of it or not. And it's an HBO show called Carnival.

Not Carnivore, but Carnival, as in carnival, like a traveling carnival. Really good. It's really good.

I'm trying to think what other shows I really liked. Oh, what's it called? The hospital one. I'm just going to go through lots of hospital dramas in my head now.

St. Elsewhere, ER, none of those. Although I used to watch St. Elsewhere when it was on telly in the 80s. Oh, hospital.

I'm going to have to search it. Hospital, hospital, hospital drama. Grey's Anatomy.

Blimey, I can't believe how many there are. Wow. Seriously, let me read you out all the different hospital dramas that are on, that they're listing here.

Wow. Grey's Anatomy, it's the first one. Good Doctor.

New Amsterdam. Chicago Med. The Resident.

Hospital Playlist. Code Black. The Nick.

The Good Karma Hospital. Call the Midwife. The Night Shift.

Station 19. Medical Police. H.A.S.E. ER.

Heartbeat. Hospital Ship. Saving Hope.

Pure Genius. Doctor Romantic. The Doctors.

Mesh. Scrubs. Bodies.

Nip, tuck. St. Elsewhere. Private Practice.

Garth Merengue's Dark Place. Bramwell. Children's Hospital.

Royal Pain. Doctor Strange's. Nurse Jackie.

Whoreform. The Surgeon. Doctor Stranger.

Monroe. The Mob Doctor. Good Doctor.

And Critical. Now there's a few more that I can mention. Holby City.

Casualty. That's two in this country. And Doctors, which is a TV show that's on during the day.

And what's that one with the kid? The Booby Hiber. Is it Booby? Doogie? Doogie Booby? It was a kid. And now he's more recently been in Why I Divorced Your Mum.

Or whatever. Something. Doogie Biber.

Booby Higer. Or something. So I know a few of these.

I know Private Practice came from Grey's Anatomy. New Amsterdam is quite a new one. ER.

Possibly one of the most famous ones of all of them. And House, of course. I mean it's huge.

Huge, huge. Scrubs was the comedy, isn't it? Nurse Jackie. That's Tony Soprano's wife.

So she sort of became a nurse after the show ended. St. Elsewhere. I'm pretty sure.

I might be wrong here. I might be wrong. But I thought St. Elsewhere was the hospital where the Hill Street Blues went to.

But maybe it was ER. Possibly. Because how that happened is we had a... We used to have a TV show in the UK of England, in the Commonwealth.

And it was called The Bill. And it was a police drama. Very, very popular for quite a while.

It was on TV for about 700 years. And they used to go to a... Yeah. I think the hospital that they went to was called Holby City, I think.

And after a few years... And I don't know if it was when the Bill ended or while the Bill was still being aired, they started Holby City. And, you know, an actual TV show, Holby City, which became more popular than The Bill. But also had Casualty, which I think was around before Holby City.

Because I'm pretty sure Casualty used to be on when I was a kid on a Saturday night. And that was the emergency department. We used to call it Casualty.

Like we used to call, in this country, we used to call chemists, chemists. Now they call themselves pharmacists. And the Casualty is now called ENA.

E-N-A? A-N-A. P-N-C. M-N-M.

I don't know. Emergency and accident and emergency. Marsineer.

A-N-A. Yeah. So it's just keeping track of it all.

New Amsterdam. So that's a fairly new one. Heartbeat.

Where do you... That's got Melissa Georgian. My internet has really gone downhill. I mean, proper.

I can't... I went on there to check it, right? And it says, this is with the company that provides it. It checked everything, said it's absolutely fine. We didn't say it like that.

I mean, it was just on the screen. There's no voice. And it said, oh, yeah, everything's fine.

Connection's fine. There's no problems going on in your area. There's no issues.

Yeah, it's fine. You should be getting about 39 megabytes a second download. When the reality is I'm getting about two megabytes, three if I'm lucky.

Seriously, that's how low it is. I have to plug it in directly to the to the internet hub in order to upload recordings that I do. And the recordings are really small.

MP3s, they're tiny. You know, even... Oh, Andre's coming over. You all right, Andre? Looks like he wants to say something.

What is it, mate? He's run off. You're cheeky. Well, open a window on your way out.

Yeah, so I've had to... And like an MP3, a 30 minute MP3 is not going to be more than about 40 megabytes, 30 megabytes, maybe less. So technically, it shouldn't take more than about a second to upload, maybe two seconds, maybe three. You know, if it's going slower than normal.

And the speed it was going without being connected directly just from the Wi-Fi was, I think it was going up 1% every maybe seven to 10 seconds. You know, that's not great. So I'm not sure what to do.

I guess I'm gonna have to call them, because how can it say one thing and then be another? We all know that life doesn't work like that. Everything's very straightforward normally, isn't it? It's a little bit of a wind up. But I got my prescription today.

I went to the chemist. Had a bit of a weird, funny turn. And I walked all out there.

Yeah, I got my prescription, which I thought was just the one that they didn't have. But they actually had the next month's prescription. Prescription.

It's another word I can't say. Gen help prescription. Prescription.

So the doctors told me that they couldn't send it there, that they have to send it to the other chemist. And now they've done exactly what they said they weren't going to do. It boggles me.

It boggles me. But it was good, because it meant I now have my prescription, all the medication I need for my brain for the next month ahead, till end of June. I was also able to get enough stuff to get me through to the weekend as well, like food and bits and stuff, like some bread.

And what was it today? Wednesday. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. One, two, three, four.

Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah, so I think I've got enough to get me through to Sunday or Monday. So it should be absolutely good.

So I don't have to go out tomorrow or Friday or Saturday to do anything. I'm going to take Andre out for a walk, long walk tomorrow, to make up for today, you know, later on today, to make up for yesterday, because I didn't take him out. Although the day before, I took him out three times.

He forgets that. He forgets it, you know. It's like, it's all about now.

I want to go out now, Daddy. Now. I don't care about the past.

You keep saying to move on from the past. It's about now. You've got the book that says now by Eckhart, Eggie Hartman.

Yeah, that's not really what the book's about. It's not about taking you for a walk, is it? He said it might be. You never know.

I mean, if you actually read it, you might find out. He's so rude, honestly. And I said to him, it's the power of now.

And I haven't got the book. I have listened to the audio book. I might have it in a book form.

I don't know. Really into listening to audio books, you know, sort of motivation and stuff. I am.

It may sound strange. But so I'm going to go. If you have any messages that you'd like me to read out, then please do send me a message on my website.

That's a good place to go. Good place to send them. And I'll be, because you're part of this.

You're part of this recording. You're part of this podcast. You're part of it.

Without you, there wouldn't be a podcast. Without me, really, but you know what I mean. So I'm going to go.

And I do recommend, I don't normally recommend my other stuff. But I did a recording earlier that I think was quite nice. It's very relaxing.

And it's very positive as well. It was on the, I posted on Facebook, but it's on the relaxation, hypnosis for stress one. So check it out.

It's also on my website. So I'm going to go. I'm going to go.

So thank you for listening. Thank you, those of you that have sent messages. And I look forward to any future messages I can read out on here in my next recording, which will very likely be tomorrow.

So that'll be Friday. Yeah, Friday early hours. I'll record that.

And I'm planning, if I can do it, to do a whisper recording before, I don't know what time it is. What time is it? It's one minute to three. So before half three, I need to do a whisper recording because those birdies will start tweeting.

And literally by about 25 past three, they start. Four o'clock. It's like I'm living in the zoo out there.

Seriously. There's monkeys in the trees, zebras, making love to caterpillars, all kinds of weird stuff. So yeah.

So thank you very much for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Do something nice for yourself today.

Lots of love. Bye.
