#543 Let me bore you to sleep

Hello and welcome to Jason Newland dot com. My name's Jason Newland and this is Let Me Bore You to Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

That's a good boy, yeah. Close your eyes, go on, close your eyes now. So I hope you're well.

It is Sunday the 15th of November 2020. And for anybody that hasn't listened to this podcast before, the Let Me Bore You to Sleep recordings, I should just do a brief, very brief explanation of what it is that I'm trying to accomplish. Or should I put it, how I'm failing to accomplish what I set out to originally accomplish.

I don't know. The idea behind this originally was for me to just talk about stuff, which is what I still do. Just talk about things for about an hour, most days as well.

I do, I'm quite regular with these. It's a regular bowel movement, kind of. And the idea is a few, like different things really.

There's the boredom aspect of the recording. So that you're listening to me and then, you know, it's perhaps repetitive. It's kind of almost pointless and very uninteresting to the point where your mind shuts down and you just drift to sleep.

Another aspect of it, which I didn't really consider at the beginning, all those years ago, when I started doing this podcast, was that it's also, or it can also be company. It can be, you know, you kind of get to know me a bit. And it's, it's a, it's an hour that's very different to anything else that you're going to do, or that you will listen to.

So it's, you know, it's a, it's a break, kind of. It's just kind of company. And in these days of coronavirus that's occurring at the moment, there's, you know, I'm in the middle of lockdown, the second lockdown in my country.

So, you know, I'm not supposed to go around other people's houses and I wouldn't anyway, but, you know, it's, I'm not allowed to. And there's a lot of people out there that do actually normally have social lives, where they go out to the cinema, to the pubs, to restaurants, to clubs, to fitness places, you know, gyms, badminton, snooker, karate, boxing, people that go dancing, people that like to go to live music, things, you know, festivals as well, concerts, all that kind of stuff. Football, you know, people like to go to spectate sports, football, rugby, golf, cricket, tennis, the Olympics, all that stuff that has been, was almost cancelled.

But no audience hasn't been no audience for so much stuff. Big events, all the festivals were cancelled. What was it? This year, the Wimbledon was cancelled, the Olympics were cancelled.

The World Cup was, is it the World Cup or the European Cup? I think it was the World Cup was cancelled. I was like, man, you know, it's just, I don't even like football. But the World Cup and the European Cup that come every four years, every two years is one of them.

It's, it's a tradition, you know, it's sort of been part of my life since I was a kid, especially as I had acquired, my brother was a big football fan. So, you know, I used to watch the FA Cup and used to watch the World Cups and stuff. And the Olympics, I'm not really that big into the Olympics, but I like to watch the boxing and some of the gymnastics.

And there's always like that big, I think with the Olympics, there's the big 100 metres race. For some reason, it's almost the climax of the whole thing. It's to fly on top of the pudding, you know, it's that, even if you're not into running, or watching running, or doing running, or even spelling running or writing it down on a piece of paper, you might not even like doing that.

There's something about the 100 metres race, and the build up to it, to find out who's the fastest human on the planet. Not necessarily true, because I'm sure there's lots of people that could run faster that have no interest in competing. You know, you might say, well, of course not.

You don't know, do you? It might be someone in India, Africa, New Zealand, there could be someone just that likes to run. And they know that they can run really fast at that natural ability. And maybe they do 100 metres in, you know, three seconds.

Speedy. It's always a thing though, isn't it? You know, like, oh, he's so fast. But it's always like nine seconds.

It's always between nine and 10 seconds. No, it is, you know, it's like, that's seconds. I mean, the time between nine and 10 seconds is practically nothing.

But in the 100 metres, it means a lot. Do it in six seconds. Go on, do it in six.

That's what I say. Well, I don't say that. Well, I did just say that, but never said it before.

But yeah, that's the reason for this recording is, it's also a distraction, can be a distraction from, I mean, obviously, it's not going to be a distraction from the coronavirus, because I just started talking about it. But generally, this is a coronavirus free zone. Don't really talk about it.

It's not, you know, it's on the news, in the papers, it's everywhere. It's all that's sort of being talked about apart from the, in the Western world I'm talking about. Well, in England, I can't talk, I don't know about Sweden and France, what they're talking about.

But in England, there's, you know, there's the US presidency thing. And then there's the talking about British politics as well, and stuff's going on there. And that's kind of seems to be the thing.

That seems to be all that's on the news. Before this happened, all it was about was Brexit. Briefly, there was a few things at the beginning of the year that had nothing to do with Brexit.

But, you know, ultimately, the news has been sort of very focused on one thing, predominantly, outside of, you know, politics. So I don't really, really spend much time talking about politics, because it doesn't really interest me that much. I think if you've been alive long enough, to see that it doesn't matter who's elected to lead the country.

They all kind of are the same, same, same really, as far as the eventual results of, you know, their term. So it seems to be whoever leaves, whoever gets in new into power. That four years that they're in, pretty much what happens in that country is a result of the previous government.

Yet they take responsibility for it, if it's good. So in the next four years, Biden, Mr. Biden, President-elect will be taking responsibility for any positive stuff that happens, when a lot of it will be due to the last government, things that they've put in place. The only difference is, is the attitude.

I mean, I don't know, but I'm, I'm, I'm guessing, I'm hoping, doesn't really affect me, but there'll be a bit more kindness now. A bit more gentleness. But as I said, it doesn't affect me personally.

I don't live there. I'm not American. Just like what happens in China doesn't, well, you could say what happens in China has affected the whole world, but there's no way of really knowing that for sure.

And it's that whole, like, oh, some people go, oh, you've got to know what's happening in America, because the prior, the present there, it affects us so much. Does it though? Really? Does it? How? I'm sure it does, but as does what happens in France and Germany and Australia and other places that we're connected to, because Australia is still part of the Commonwealth. What happens in other countries has an effect on all of us to a degree.

But I don't know, really, I don't know enough about it. I don't care enough about it. Because I've seen, how many presidents have I seen? See, I ignore probably the first 10 years of my life, politically, because I had no interest.

And then I probably ignore the next. Yeah, it wasn't until I was 17 that I became interested in politics. And even then, I wasn't interested, but I was aware.

So I became a bit more aware of politics and who was in charge and you know, who the main people and I used to read the papers and watch the news and all that stuff. And the same with American politics as well, as far as knowing about the actual presidents. See, President Reagan was, of course, he was there when I was a kid.

But I don't really remember, I'd see him on the news. And you know, he was quite friends with Margaret Thatcher, who was our Prime Minister. And so, so Margaret Thatcher, he was, he was friends with President Reagan.

And then he, when he resigned, John Major took over as the Prime Minister. So I can, I can lead, I can follow back all the way back to pretty much Margaret Thatcher for Prime Ministers. But with the presidents, I can go back as far as, I know there were others.

But you know, in my memory, Reagan was the first one. Then Bush. Then who's a trumpet player bloke? I've forgotten his name.

I did not have relations with that lady. What's his name? Clinton. That's it.

See, I remember when Clinton won the election against Bush. Because the headlines was, Clinton licks Bush. It was, honestly, that was the headlines in the paper.

Clinton licks Bush. See, I found out, I was very pleased with that headline. When I saw it, I was like, yeah, I wish I'd kept it.

And of course, then Clinton, his successor was Bush, but a different Bush. Just shows you that America loves Bush. To have 16 years of Bush, with a little break, with a little eight year break.

And then, of course, Osama, Osama, not Bin Laden, Osama, what's his name? The coolest president. So look, if I just put in coolest president, you will come up. Yep, Osama Obama.

Because his first name was Osama, I think it was, or his middle name. It actually comes up, Obama. If you put in coolest president to Google, Obama.

Obama. I'm going to stop it. Stop.

Obama. So let's have a look. Oh, Hussein.

That's it. So it's Hussein. So he was born.

I do wonder though, because Boris, his first name is, Boris is his middle name. His first name is Alexander. Boris Johnson.

It's not Boris Johnson, it's Alexander Johnson. So I wonder, if Barack had chosen his middle name to be his first name, if he'd have got elected. Hussein Obama.

Hussein Obama. Do you reckon? Do you reckon he'd have got elected? Preceded. President of the United States in office.

Vice President Joe Biden, preceded by George W. Bush, and succeeded by Donald Trump. So he was an American politician and attorney, a member of the Democratic Party. So if you're not a Democratic, then, because Democratic is for democracy, isn't it? So if you're not them, then you're in the undemocratic party, and you believe, you don't believe in democracy.

Is that right? Yeah. Oh, his parents. Barack Obama Sr. That's a bit presumptuous though, for his parents, for his dad's parents to name him that.

What if he didn't have any kids? To be called Senior. Barack Obama Sr. Puts a lot of pressure on it, doesn't it? To reproduce a junior. Yet he doesn't call himself Junior.

Isn't that weird? He doesn't call himself Junior. And his wife, Michael Robinson. The amount of people, well, I don't know if it's a conspiracy.

There's a, I think there's some people out there that have got very creative brains, but they don't like facts. Really don't like facts at all. They find facts very boring.

So, for example, I know someone that is adamant that Michelle is a man. Michelle Obama is a man, because he's called a Michael in public, and she's a man. I mean, good boy, Andre.

You're a clever boy. You better not be doing that on a carpet. Good boy.

So, he's, she doesn't look like a man. Doesn't sound like a man. And he's known her since she was, I think they were at college together, I think.

I'm making part of this up. And if she's a man, how did they make babies? I mean, I didn't, I didn't get any, any kind of qualifications in biology, but I've got a few memories of stuff I learned. One is the uterus.

It's not in the anus. Apparently. Oh, yeah.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize. And no one's really sure why, but he got it anyway. Yeah, I think it's because he, I think it was for his creative ways of bombing other countries.

Without actually really taking the blame. Yeah. Oh, controversial.

No, I didn't say I cared. I'm not bothered. Don't affect me.

I cannot take responsibility for what another country does. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, which is not America really, is it? I know it is, but it's not. Honolulu is the capital and largest city that a state of Hawaii is unincorporated, an unincorporated part of, and the county seat of the Honolulu.

So. It's located in the Pacific Ocean. Well, how can it be part of a country? If it's not connected by land, it's not part of the country, then is it? No, sorry, Hawaii.

It's not part of America. It's not America. It's not part of the land.

It has to be part of the land. It has to be connected. So there.

So Obama was Hussein. Hussein was therefore not American. He shouldn't.

Oh, no. He shouldn't have been allowed to be president. I'll tell you the weird thing about it.

Boris Johnson was born in New York. I wish we should have. I mean, Alexander Johnson was a Johnston.

You know, he's in America, right? So. Anthony Joshua. In America, they have to call him Anthony.

Anthony. No, it's Anthony. No, Anthony.

He calls himself Anthony. If someone calls themselves. Anthony.

Don't start calling them Anthony. Anthony. No, Anthony.

Andre, will you shut up? Should I go and get him? I don't know where he is. I want to go and get him and I want to bring him over here. So wait there a second.

The good thing about it is apart from the sound of the seats. I don't care if you want to come or not. Why? You've got to be so rude to me all the time.

Why? Oh, hello. Why are you shaking? He's a weirdo. He's shaking.

I'm going to hurt him. I've never heard him in my life. Oh, he's shaking.

Why are you shaking? Are you cold? Why have you got a scab on your ball back? Is a sentence you didn't expect to hear today. He's got. Why are you shaking? I don't like it when you do that.

Hey, warm up. Is it because you've just woken up and you're a little bit cold? He's a little bit cold because I think his body temperature raises so much when he's asleep. Kisses and cuddles.

His body temperature raises. Well, actually, you think it'd go down, wouldn't you? I think his pulse rate probably goes down a lot. Big is so warm and comfy.

And then. He's shaking. I'll tell you what, if I put you in here, that will keep you warm.

How about that? I'll put this on my jumper. He's not. He's not arguing.

He's not trying to get out, so he must be enjoying getting a warmth from my armpit. It's not all he's getting. Daddy, that stinks.

Yeah, aren't you the lucky one? It's weird that he will sniff a drain in the road. He will sniff a drain where waste has gone down. Yeah.

You'll love that. My armpit? No. No, thanks, Dad.

No, you're all right. I don't want to sniff that. There's a line.

It's a line I won't cross. Hey. How are you doing today, mate? Are you OK? You all right? Yeah.

You want me to talk about a bummy? Oh. Oh. Oh.

We like a bummer, don't we? Yeah, we did. He was funny and he was cool, wasn't he? He was groovy, wasn't he? Yeah. You liked him, didn't you? Yeah.

Do your impression. He's going to do his impression now. I'm President Obama, and I'm cool.

You are. Yes, Sammy, just like him. Yeah, I'm married to Michael.

No, you're not. Stop it. It's Michelle.

Michael. No. No.

Yeah, we adopted children. No, stop it. Stop it.

No, you didn't. You had children. No, we adopted them.

Stop it. You're so rude. You're so rude.

Donald Trump's hair looks like I've just fallen asleep on his head. Stop it. Stop it, Andre.

No, I don't want to. Yeah, good boy. Calm down.

I want to talk about his hair. I see, you've fallen asleep. I want to tell everybody about how smelly you are.

Andre, shush, shush. Your belly button smells like an egg that's been off for 15 years. That's a weird thing to say.

You're going bald. Shut up, Andre. Baldy fat man.

Baldy fat man. Smelly head. Oh, good, he's falling asleep now.

It's annoying when he talks in his sleep. You're so smelly. You're so fat.

Andre, shush. Andre, wake up. Stop saying stuff like that about me.

I've got a big fat bum. You break chairs everywhere you go. No, I don't.

Stop me. He's fast asleep. I want to wake him up.

Wake up. Hello. Did you hear what you were saying? No.

You didn't hear? No. Okay, you be a good boy. You should be a woman now.

You're not shaking anymore, are you? I don't shake. Yeah, okay. I'm going to get down.

There you go, mate. See you later. So, today, I'm carrying on from yesterday.

I had a few things to do. So, I had the roof of my shed in the living room. It's a big old bit of wood.

And I had to figure out what to do with it. So, what I've done is, it was that kind of wood, which is, I don't know, the type of wood, the corn, is it cornwood? Corn, corkwood, something. So, you can kind of break it, which is what I did.

So, I ended up breaking it into lots and lots of small bits. It took a while to do. And then put them into bags, black bags.

And you can't really recycle it with what you can, obviously wood should be recycled, but I had nowhere to put it. I can't, you know, it's... So, I was like, you can't put it in with the cardboard or paper, although I think you should be able to. But I just had to chuck it out.

So, that's gone. But in the process, I've made lots of mess and there's bits, splinters of wood all over the carpet and in the hallway. So, once I'd got rid of about 12 bags, including other rubbish that I've been trying to get rid of, I thought I'd better tidy that up.

And I had to have a break every now and then because I was bending down a lot and my back was just, wasn't playing along. So, I had to lie down a couple of times to, for my back to get back to normal. Get back to normal.

Back, back, back, back, back. And then I thought, I'll vacuum. I'll vacuum up the carpet, even though I did it yesterday.

But I'll clear up the mess I made today, plus the mess that Andre's made since yesterday. Turn the vacuum on. Nothing.

Nothing. It was literally nothing. No noise.

Nothing. Put it into a different plug socket. Nothing.

Tested the plug socket with my bike. And it works fine. So, it's not the socket.

It's the plug. Or something else. In these situations, my normal thing is, well, that's it.

Just got to chuck it out and get a new one. And then I thought, it might be the fuse. And I don't want to chuck it out firstly because my dad gave it to me, so it's not even mine really.

And knowing how my dad is, he'll, if I got rid of it, let's say I chucked it out and got a new one, and he found out, guaranteed, even in 30 years time, he'll remind me of when I got rid of his vacuum cleaner. So I need to keep it. And when I moved in here, he helped with a few bits and he gave me a few little bits, sort of, you know, that were useful.

Like the vacuum cleaner, a ladder. And he put up some, a mirror and some brackets and, you know, coat rack and stuff like that. Bathroom cabinet.

So, you know, it was really good. He put up stuff that was really useful, which I still use now. And that was five years ago.

In fact, five and a half years ago. Okay. He phoned me up about a year ago and said, have you still got that ladder? I said, yeah.

He said, why? I said, no, no reason. So he phoned me up to make sure that I still had the ladder that he has not given me. He left it here.

It's his ladder. He wanted to remind me that it's his ladder. I can buy my own ladder.

They're not that expensive. It's only like a little metal one. He said, you know, it's probably about, I reckon that ladder's as old as I am.

But he literally phoned me up. You still got that ladder? Yeah. And do you want to say hello to me first? How are you? Possibly? You still got that ladder? Very menacing.

Anyway, the vacuum cleaner doesn't, does not work. So I couldn't clear up all of these bits of wood, little bits of tiny little bits of wood all over the carpet. I got rid of the big roof.

So that's gone, but so that's nice. And also Andre was trying to climb up here and he got his nails caught. So he didn't like that.

So that's, that's gone now. So that's no longer a problem. Took a few hours to sort that one out, to get into little bits so I could put it into black bags.

And then the vacuum cleaner doesn't work. And I thought, well, I can't get rid of it. I can't afford to just get another one now.

I just, it's not the right time. And I like that vacuum. It's a good one.

It's a Henry. What's going on, mate? What's going on? Pick him up. I've got his girlfriend in my hand now.

Here you go. Can you hear him? I'm holding it up and trying to get away from him. So I'm holding it now.

Here you go. Do you want it? Do you want it? He's not making his normal sound. Oh, he's got his nail caught.

He's actually got his nail caught just as I'm doing this, which means I'm gonna have to go and get his scissors. I want to cut his nail live. Wait a second.

Hold on. It's okay, baby. It's all right.

It's okay. I knew we were going to have to cut your nails eventually. You've never done it and been recorded doing it before, have we? No, wait a second.

All right, you got rid of that. So that can go there. I'm going to cut your nails now.

So the best bet for you is just wiggling. The problem is just stay... What? What are you doing? What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? No, I'm going to cut your nails. He never does this.

All I was doing was just laying him on my lap and he started screaming. I generally wasn't doing anything to him. What is wrong with you, mate? That's very strange behavior.

Behave. Sit still. No, I'll do the other one.

I'll do the other leg as well. The other hand. This is to his benefit, though.

Because now he won't get his toenails caught in anything. Wait. I think part of the reason he's doing that is because I took his girlfriend away and I put her on the floor and him was on my lap.

And I think he wants to know where his girlfriend was. Wait. One, two more.

One more. One more, Andre. Stop being a baby.

That's it. Why were you crying like that? Hey? Why were you crying like that? There's no reason for that. I'm not going to hurt you, am I? I mean, there's a chance I could hurt him when he's wiggling because then the nails could get cut too short and it kind of hits the wick or whatever it is and makes him bleed a little bit.

But even then, you're all right after a couple of minutes, aren't you? Hey. Oh, he's all cuddly now. That was really weird.

There was a lot of screaming. A lot of commotion over nothing. He doesn't normally do that.

In fact, I don't think he's ever done that whenever I've gone to cut his nails. For some reason, he was annoyed with me, aren't you? He was annoyed. What is it that I did? Is it because I took your girlfriend? Is that what it was? Do you forgive your daddy? The reason I took your girlfriend is because you're now caught in your girlfriend.

So now, I cut you free from your girlfriend and then I cut your toenails, your fingernails, so that now you can play with your girlfriend and you won't get your fingernails caught. It's a good thing. He doesn't even squeal like that when he has a bath and that's the thing he hates most in the whole world.

Apart from me right now, I think. You're not my biggest fan, are you? There you go. Right, he's now gone straight to his girlfriend and he's run away with her.

Wow. Blimey. He just looked at me.

He looked away. He doesn't know if he wants to actually... Oh, lovely. He's now going to make as much noise as he can just to annoy me.

So I pretty much delayed his date night by what, two minutes? Cutting his nails? He must have really wanted to get on with his date night because he was just having a go at me earlier. Wow. Blimey.

So he's very much being the subject of today's recording, isn't he? In a way. He could have gone anywhere but he had to go right behind me. And do it there.

He's got the whole flat and he quite likes to go into the bedroom and do it. Oh, man. Anyway, so what I thought is... I don't think I've ever changed a fuse in a plug ever.

I thought maybe it's time I did it. Maybe it's time I gave it a go. So what I did, I went to Amazon and I've ordered a pack of fuses.

I don't know what type of fuse goes into that plug. So I ordered the pack with, I think, 100 different fuses. Well, 10 types of fuses.

10 each. Like it's a product pack that you can, in a container. Which I guess probably should last me forever.

So I've got that. It's another thing that I guess every home needs, really, doesn't it? A fuse box, you know, fuses for a plug. Also, I want to start, I kind of want to get some labels.

Andre, will you shut the fuck up? I'd like to get some labels to start labeling, labeling the different cables I've got. I've got so many different cables. It'd be nice to have that labeled because sometimes I'm searching for, where's the one for the Kindle? Where's the one for the Razer? Where's the one for this and that? Even the iPad and the iPhone have got different cables, different chargers.

Didn't used to be like that. Never used to be, but it is now. So I don't know why.

I also got multi-use screws, single thread, hundreds of screws in this plastic container. And it's just to the left of me for some reason. I don't know why.

So yeah, I should get my microphone, my new microphone very soon. I just had a phone call come through. Luckily, I've got my phone on quiet.

I've got this friend and she phones me at the stupidest, well, just weird times. Phones me in the evening. I'm not around in the evening for phone calls.

I'd rather talk in the afternoon or something like that. I don't want to, my evening is mine. Calls me in the evening.

I think she waits till her husband's home, then she calls me. So she's got someone to talk to, like, talk to your husband. You know, she's, I'd rather talk to her when she's on her own.

You know, it's a different, it's just, I don't know. If I didn't answer, I would have answered, but I just, I can't answer when I'm on, doing a recording, can I? Unless I get the person's permission. Yes, that's right.

Person's permission. Yes. Still, still, still kind of surprised at this, the statistics that I've been getting.

Andre, really mate, it's annoying, all that noise. Dawn. Dawn.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I contacted someone and they've not got back to me. Oh, well.

Ignorance is bliss, as they say. But a few comments on Andre, who's laying on the bed with his tongue sticking out. That is a cute picture.

That was weird though, when he started yelling just then. I'm going to have to, I feel I want to just check him to make sure he's not got any sort of physical ailment or anything. I'll do that.

I can't do it now, but later on, I'll give him a bit of a bit of an examination, just to make sure he's, you know, not in pain or anything. That was very weird, the way that, it's really high pitched as well, wasn't it? Very strange. Very strange.

Yeah, the stats have been quite good. But, yeah, I mean, I've not gone, because I've only sort of made like one, maybe one recording a day, sometimes none. So today I've had 4,141 downloads.

This is the first recording I've done, and it's what, 8, 18. Yesterday, I had 4,863 downloads. Friday, 5,716.

Thursday, 5,648. So, I generally get less at the weekend anyway, but today I'll probably get about 5,000 by the end of the day. I'm going to have to go, that noise he's making is annoying me now.

It's annoying me. It is. Oh, yeah.

My most popular podcast now is, it's a little race, yeah, between hypnosis for sleeping deeply, which is 420,228, and relaxation hypnosis for stress and anxiety, 417,047. Now, I never go below 1,000 on either of those podcasts daily, get at least 1,000 a day, downloads or listens. So, it's a race, but they're kind of neck and neck at the moment.

Of course, one's ahead by 3,000, but that could just, that could just overtake very easily. And I've got another one, now, 404,000, which is sleep insomnia hypnosis. And that varies between just below 1,000 a day and above.

So, that sort of varies. I suppose the next most popular one after that is Andre Scherch, Scherch would be the let me bore you to sleep at 202,779. So, the average daily there, I think, is pretty much increased as well, which is nice.

I wonder how I'm at, what I'm aiming for for the month. Right, now, it's 69,269 so far for this month. So, halfway through the month.

So, that's what 120, 140, I suppose, for the month. Last month, I had 174,840, 140 the month before, 143. So, it was even now about 140.

Over the last few months, apart from last month, which was, as I said, 174,000. I want to get higher than 174,000. I reckon 200,000 would be a nice mark.

So, I'm 70, so I need 130,000. 130,000, 130 divided by 15. It's 8,666 a day.

It's doable, but So, 69, 70,000. So, if I go for 180,000, so that's 70, 170. It's 110,000, isn't it? It's 110,000 divided by 15.

7,333. Yeah, I could do 7,000 a day. A few days of 8,000, maybe one of nine.

So, I want 200,000. I want 200,000 this month, and then next month, I want 250,000. Because I'm greedy.

The simple fact is, there's a lot of recordings I've not been doing. Like the bedtime story time, the sleep hypnosis weekly, deep sleep whisper hypnosis. Those three, I haven't done hardly any for a while.

I've done hardly any hypnosis techniques for relaxation. So, I've not been doing a huge amount lately. So, once I up my game and give the audience what they want, because I've got different audiences for different podcasts, then I should see an increase.

So, that'd be groovy. I'm going to go now because the background sound is ridiculous. Andre, be considerate towards your girlfriend.

That's not the way to treat her on date night, is it? It's smelly. Yeah, it's not as smelly as you though, is it? Andre, stop it. I'm going to go.

So, thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Do something nice for yourself today and have a good week ahead.

Show lots of love. Bye. Andre, say goodbye.

No. Andre, can you not see that I am busy? Yeah, all right. Okay, fair enough.

Bye-bye.
