#608 Let me bore you to sleep

Hello, hello, hello there. Welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and welcome to this groovy podcast. Let me bore you to sleep.

Please only listen whence you can. Safely close your eyes. Safely close your eyes.

Hope you're well. And, and, I suppose, I don't know, do I need to apologize? Do I? Probably. It's like being in a relationship.

Just apologize first thing in the morning. And every day. Now, I haven't, I guess I haven't been quite as regular with these let me bore you to sleep podcasts as I normally am.

Normally, you know, generally every day. With the odd day off. Sometimes a few days off if I'm not so well.

But I've been doing them every two or three days. The last I don't know, let's have a look last week or so. I don't know.

Let me have a look at the podcast. So I did one on the sixth. So it's the ninth today.

So that's three days ago. Then I did one on the fourth. That's two days before one on the third, which is good.

One on the first. So there's two days there. And then one on the 28th.

That was that was the last day. That's the day before, isn't it? Then one on the 26th of February, 23rd of February. Now 22nd, 26th and 22nd.

So that's four days. Blimey. Yeah, so 719 1617 12.

Wow, so there's four days on another one as well from the 12th of February to the 16th of February. So I need to correct this. I need to correct this little blip.

And just to let you know, it's not. It's not that I don't want to make the recordings. It's not that I am being lazy.

Although I am incredibly lazy. That's not. That's not the reason.

I've just been trying to do other things. I've been quite busy working on doing other podcasts, as well as I'm in the middle of trying to upload all of my recordings to my SoundCloud podcast, Jason Newland's podcast, in brackets, no ads, for those that don't want to support this free service. So that's that's for them.

So people don't want to listen to adverts. So I'm in the middle of uploading. I've uploaded over 400 recordings, but there's still quite a few.

It's very time consuming. And when I'm doing I'm doing it on the PC. The PC's buzzing along, so I can't make recordings at the same time.

And lots of excuses. I know. But I don't care.

I don't care about the colour of your hair. I don't. Makes no difference.

Really, I'm just letting you know that I plan with all good intentions to get back to the regular daily, Let Me Bore You To Sleep, podcasts. So they are. Okay.

Happy now, are we? I am really trying to figure out the best way to use this microphone. Now you might think, well, just talk into it. You know what I mean? What are you trying to use it for? What are you in a bath trying to scrub your balls? What are you doing? No, I'm not.

I'm just certain levels of it. Using the focus right booster thing. And I still don't know what it's called.

Scarlet thing. And it every time I think I've got the perfect, the perfect volume. It starts a right, I bang the thing or knock it on the floor or something and have to reset it.

And, you know, the ideal for this, it's not so important in a sense of part of this podcast is to have some background stuff, especially little Andre wherever he is. And, you know, if he's around to try and pick him up and, you know, sort of get him to say hello. And you can generally hear him in the background making his weird noises.

Although you might hear less of that now with this microphone, which is, it's an unfortunate byproduct. But I can't really help that. And the microphone quality, the sound quality is going to improve as well.

For two reasons in the future, not right now. But in the future, when I get the podcast, roadcast podcast thing, it's basically I won't be using the iPad anymore. I won't be using that booster anymore.

I will be plugging the microphone directly into this recording machine, which is the roadcaster podcaster. I forget what it's called. But anyway, it will be recording directly into there, saving on a mini SD card.

And I can connect it also to a PC for one. The but you know, I can transfer it to their aware that however I want to do it. And then I can actually, in real time, monitor and change the frequency and change the background sound and do it so that it sounds as you know, as perfect as I want it to sound was good as I can get it.

So that automatically will sound a lot better than it does now. Even though I think it sounds pretty good now, really. But I've got the window open is I can hear a bit of traffic in the distance from the main motorway.

But I have I love to have the window open even in a winter, just to have some air coming in, you know, it's nice. It's nice. The second thing that's going to happen, which may happen earlier, actually, it might happen on Thursday, is I'm going to be finally, because I had a trial of the Adobe.

I don't know what you call the whole Adobe editing software. And that you can get. So I will be what's it called? Let me have a look.

I mean, it's in the cloud. So it's the Adobe cloud. And I don't have it on there.

That's weird. It's probably because I can't use it on the iPad. So I don't bother.

So if I just put Adobe, Adobe, and I can tell you exactly what it is, continue to United Kingdom, lets me sign up on the iPad, but it won't let me actually use it. Oh, that's brilliant. It's not even allowed.

Oh, it's it's one of those enable all so I can actually Oh, that's very strange. It's not allowing it. How weird.

And now is weird. It's the creative cloud. So basically, what it is, is, it's all of their main software packages, basically.

For example, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, which is the film editing. xd, which I don't know what that is. Acrobat DC is.

But okay, so that should give me enable all. That's weird. Anyway, one of the things is audition, which is the audio editing software.

So once I get that up and running, which will be Thursday, so Tuesday now, so two days, and that's going to cost me 50 pound a month. And I'll be able to start editing because I was editing videos until the trial run out. So I uploaded a few videos to YouTube.

I was doing one a day. And my subscription was rising, which was good. And then I had to stop making them because the free trial had to run out.

So once that's up and running, I will, as well as making one new video a day. I'll also be working out how to edit the audio on there. So I'll always still be recording on the iPad like it is at the moment.

And then uploading that recording to the podcast, then downloading from the podcast, and edited it even more to make it sound. So there's literally no background sound for especially for the hypnosis sessions. As I said for this, not so bothered.

But at the same time, I do what it's I do want it to sound nice. I don't you know, there's no point my back's hurting, you know, my lower back. I don't want it to sound all crackly.

Some of the recordings in the past Oh, man. Seriously, seriously. I mean, what I might try do actually is try to save some of the older recordings by editing them and seeing if I can get rid of the background hissing and increase the volume of the actual me talking and improve improve the quality.

You know, digitally remastered, I think they call it it's possible, possibly possible. And if I can possibly possibly do that, then I then set myself up for a huge project, a huge, huge project to remaster thousands of recordings. I say thousands, but it's I don't know how many there are now I've lost.

I've lost track. I really have lost track. And just okay, we'll look at the main podcast.

I've got 367. Deep Sleep Whisper. In fact, I don't think that's right.

There's a few others extra on there. So 304 other than this the the ones with music. So fair enough.

367 Deep Sleep Whisper. Help me with this. You can add them up if you want.

I know I'm not going to bother. You've got the Let Me Boy to Sleep 639. Again, that's not really correct.

So 607. But there's other ones, there's the Jason's Bedtime Storytime stuff on there. So let's say 607 of those 607.

And let's just stick it to 607 plus 367. And add this up on my calculator. 607 607 367 607 plus 367 equals 974.

Then we go to Sleep Hypnosis Weekly. There are 115 of those, including ones with music. One more five.

It's just deleted it all. Blimey, you're annoying me now. Damn you.

So this this isn't going to be right, because some of them is going to be is going to be more because there's ones with music. So what I'm going to do is, in fact, no, it's fine. I'll give you enough.

It's a rough idea. It's a rough idea. So 367 367 plus 6 639 639 plus sleep hypnosis 115 sleep hypnosis weekly plus the relaxation hypnosis of stress, anxiety, panic attacks.

So I'm gonna, this is going to be less than it actually is. So I've done relaxation relaxation. Where were you? Blimey.

Where are you? Relaxation. Relaxation. Blimey.

I need to do a new one of those because I'm a bit a bit out of. Okay, the latest one was at number 228. I think relaxation hypnosis of stress, anxiety and panic attacks.

228. That doesn't count the probably 30 maybe 30 plus 30 that had music. So I had a little 30.

It's probably more. But it just gives you an idea. What else do I do? Sleep hypnosis weekly.

And that's it, isn't it? Really? Let me bore you to sleep. Deep sleep whisper. And anything else relaxation hypnosis for stress.

That's without all of the all of the other ones that I've you know, I've done like stress pain relief podcast, self help this 313 episodes there. So I've had that 313. And there's some of the others chronic pain podcast 59 plus 59.

The hypnotic buffet. Well, it's so popular the hypnotic buffet. So it's 30 there.

And bedtime story time 18. My Jason's positive podcast. That's 44.

Yes, it is quite a few. And it's quite a few relaxation hypnosis as well. So it's probably on that relaxation hypnosis podcast podcast.

There's over 200 relaxation sessions. But some of them are just not. Yeah, I probably wouldn't.

Probably wouldn't add them to be fair. So it's at least 2000 2043. That's without adding some of the other podcasts as well.

So there's at least 2000 episodes or recordings. I've uploaded 400. I might not upload all of them, I might just stick to the main podcasts, you know, relaxation for stress.

Let me point to sleep sleep hypnosis weekly and deep sleep whisper. I might just stick to those. Because ultimately, I feel I'm kind of wasting my time a bit on that.

There's the only thing that's doing for me is it's costing me money. And I don't really want it to really cost me much time. I'll keep it going.

It's 10 pounds a month. 120 pounds a year. And I should be able to just automatically add every new podcast onto there from Spreaker when I when I make one.

So it should be fairly easy to upkeep once it's all done. I mean, I can actually open it up. I can open it up, you know, if I've got a SoundCloud, I thought I'd have it on there.

Sound. Oh, that's not that's weird. It's really weird.

I'm using the screen to type in when I've actually got a keyboard. Why am I doing that? I don't know. So yeah, Jason Newlands podcast, no ads on.

So if you just go into SoundCloud, if you don't want adverts, you can listen to my recordings on there. So I've uploaded Oh, yeah, it's more than I thought 607 tracks I've uploaded. And the playlists I've got 12345 playlists, sleep hypnosis weekly, relaxation hypnosis for stress, deep sleep whisper, let you bore me to sleep.

Let you bore me. And Jason Newlands hypnosis archive. Okay, cool.

That might be all I'll have. I don't know. I've still got quite a few to upload.

Quite a few lots. In fact, I mean, the, the real, yeah, the relaxation for stress. I've only got 57 added out of the 288 I think it is that I've got put in or the 228.

And then I've got all the sleep whisper ones pretty much. And let me bore you to sleep. I've only got 99 out 600.

So it's going to be Wow. It's going to be about 1200 1300 recordings on this podcast. Pretty much when it's launched.

I mean, I'm not, I'm not really going to launch it. I will put a link to my website. Or should I? Yeah, I suppose.

And I'll post it on Facebook, let people know. Just put it for those that don't want to support what I do. For those that don't actually appreciate what I do, or have any respect for the hard work that goes into it.

It's quite weird because I've only had it up for a couple of few days. I had 336 plays already, which is kind of weird. I know it's like a tiny amount compared to what I get.

And like you might know my normal podcast, but it's still considering it's a new podcast. So it's 66 plays today. And the top list is listeners Patrick Skellig.

And then he's listened to 119 plays apparently. Seven churches underground rap Buffalo Promotions, EDM massive Sandra D art, ball promotions. Clayton color pro guests big pro.

I go I go really Moira. Ethan fly LS Nikki Leon, Jason media, Jimmy Quinton, David Jade. So the top 30.

It's a little bit nostalgic actually, really. What am I top my top tracks? Oh, my top tracks are number 59 relaxation for stress. That's our most popular tracks.

I don't know if it's true. I mean, really, the thing was with SoundCloud is there's a lot of BAM on there. Lots and lots of spam.

So I've had more messages, more comments on my tracks. In the last five days that I have. In fact, I've had more comments from in the last two hours, maybe the last hour even than I have on all of my podcasts.

The last two years gives you an idea. There's a lot of spam, just like copied and pasted. I don't know quite what they're in it for.

I mean, some do say, Oh, we can get you more plays, you pay us this, we get you more plays, more downloads, which I really don't care about. I'm not paying anyone to get me more downloads. I want legitimate downloads from people that are really listening, not interested in there's no benefit to me.

There's no benefit. Well, if possibly, I'm not even going to share the SoundCloud podcast on any of the be like iTunes or Spotify, anything like that. This is just going to be on its own.

I'm not sharing it anywhere. It will come up on a Google search because SoundCloud is pretty good at that. In fact, I'd be surprised if it isn't already up there.

If I put in my name, what's my name? Jason Nguyen. Okay, let's have a look. Facebook, Playacast, Twitter.

The first page is my website. Good. That's what it should be.

Spotify, podcast, Apple, Twitter, TuneIn, Pod News, Podchaser, YouTube, Audible. Basically put in my name and I'm the kind of there's one other Jason Newland. Well, there's not one only one other.

There's a few but there's one other that's quite prominent online and he's a pediatrist. I think he does. And he's quite well known but because I, you know, he doesn't get he doesn't get a leg in.

Unfortunately, sometimes. Because of the spot. To be fair, I've been around a long time.

It's not like I've just started. I deserve my place in YouTube. I just on Google rather.

Yeah, I do. But then there is things. Research profiles at Washington University.

That's him. That's the other bloke. So there are other people.

I'm not it's not just me. But definitely. Yeah, starting to fade all the way as I'm going through the pages.

Yeah, starting to move to other people. Oh, found it SoundCloud. So it's page four on Google after a week, or less than a week.

I think it was. I don't know when I did it. Maybe it has been a week but it's I think it was Wednesday.

It's Tuesday now. So basically, after a week, SoundCloud is there. And if I click on it, just check.

I've got the volume down. I already have an account. I'm not signing in.

Not with their app. I can't stand their app. I don't like SoundCloud app.

Not at all. Get rid of it. Hide app.

It's I prefer just to go to their website. But unfortunately, especially when you use tablets or the phone, you know, mobile phones, they really try and push you to use the app, especially YouTube does that a lot. That's why there's, there's a bit of pleasure to go back to the PC.

After quite a long time of it's been the last time I used a PC with a keyboard with a big screen, standing up a monitor, although they're not the old monitors, but flat screen now. But I have been for about 20 years actually. But I was when I was working in the call center, which was 2013 14 ish.

So that means that it's a long time. And then to have one again have this big screen, although it's very slow, very slow monitor, but not monitor the PCs very slow. But once it gets going, and provide I'm not doing it, so it does work, it's got enough capacity to do one thing at a time.

So it's easy, it's fine for editing and things like that. And so it's something quite nice about it is I open something up and the web page comes up. No app, not trying to push an app on me.

It's just the website. And I like that I like the websites. You know, apps are good.

I'm using an app now to record this. And without this app, I wouldn't, you know, this is really saved me the last few months. Because when my laptop broke, I didn't have, I can't even remember what I was using.

It's such a long time ago. I've got what I must have been using this tablet for nearly a year now, surely. It's got to be, isn't it? So it took a while to learn how to use it, how to use the app, how to, you know, to trust the app to work properly and not to break down, which I've had issues with that in the past with different things.

And in gradually increase the quality of the sound gradually. So yeah, that's that's where I am with this. But it's quite nice to have to go on the PC and just the keyboard is weird.

I'm used to a tiny little keyboard or touchscreen. To go back to a big keyboard, it, my fingers were stretched. That's really messed about.

My fingers were stretching out. And I hadn't done that for some time. I mean, there's no activity I do where my fingers really have to stretch too much, unfortunately.

So it's after I've kind of gotten used to it a little bit now, again, yeah, a little bit. And now it's it's I don't know, I quite like the big screen. It does suit me a bit better.

Having a big screen to use. I can see things, see things moving, I can see the images clearer, everything, you know. So even in the future, and you know, most people, from what I've seen on YouTube, I've watched a lot of editing videos, they don't do it on their iPad, or they don't do it on their Mac.

They do do the work on the Mac, but they they do the the screen is shown on a monitor, like a big monitor, maybe a few different monitors. So they're not using the monitor of the Mac when they're doing editing, which makes sense a bit. Maybe audio, I can imagine audio would be okay.

But video? Yeah, I see. I can imagine video would be a lot. Mind you, audio is quite intrinsic, it's quite, it's very small, quite, you know, quite, I was gonna say needly, needly, niggly, biggly, dibbly, very pickety, very finickety, very, you know, fine, fine work, fine work.

Is that even a thing? Fine work. Well done. Very fine work, my, my young, my young brother.

Fine work. But yeah, I, we'll see, we'll see. I mean, hopefully the part of the reason, right, it's okay.

A year ago, it would take me an hour to edit an hour of audio. And that was just basic editing, you know, just basically cutting out any weird noises, backgrounds, sounds, distortions from the microphone. It could take sometimes more than an hour, like an hour and a half to edit one recording.

Now I can edit a recording. I mean, I'm talking very basic editing as well. Still wasn't, you know, really good quality, but it was at least took out the background farts, not the intentional ones, the ones that I didn't intend.

And because the microphones, I was using lapel microphones at one point, and they were supposed to be really good, but there was a lot of distortion sometimes. So, but the thing I liked about them is I could walk around, and especially with the relaxation for stress, I could do a talk on a subject. And I could walk around and pace a little bit and be a little bit animated and, you know, get the the pump blood in and, you know, get really sort of, you know, bit not hyped up, a little bit infused, a little bit sitting in a chair.

It's a very, very docile position to be in. That's why now, so I used to sit in the chair and to recliner. Don't do that anymore when I make recordings because I fall asleep when I do it like that.

I do genuinely fall asleep. Now, if I was tired, I'd fall asleep anyway. I'm not tired at the moment.

Apart from that's weird timing. And I'm not sort of tired, tired. Even if I wasn't sitting back in the recliner, talking in with my eyes closed, which I do sometimes, I'd fall asleep.

So, you know, now I'm sitting at the desk, I've got the microphone stand attached to a table, which is next to the to the desk. Although it's not really a desk, it's a table, but I inherited it from my nan. So it's the table that she had in her flat.

So I, you know, it means something to me. So I'm keeping it forever and ever. And the, you know, so I'm here sitting facing it.

I'm not quite so close to the microphone as I have been in some previous recordings. I've kind of really got really close. But I don't know if it may sound nicer, it might sound clearer.

But it's a little bit too close for the old peas. I can pop a little bit, even though I've got a cover on it. I don't have a pop filter in front of it because I'm not supposed to need one.

But maybe, maybe, maybe I do need to get one. Perhaps. I just found a pubic hair on top of the wow, to the microphone stand.

I found a hair, it might not be a pube. But it's, it might be a beardy one. There's not a lot of difference really, really between my beard and, you know, but it was, it was a ginger, ginger hair.

So I know it's one of mine. Because I have, yeah, I have, I have brown slash ginger slash gray hair. So there's a mixture.

So it's kind of quite dark brown in places. The ginger is more really in my beard. And, and, you know, the face, the face, the hair that's not on my head, like my actual scalp.

That hair tends to be that the gingers turned gray. So the parts of my beard that were ginger are now gray, which is strange. I don't actually have pictures really much of my life.

I've got pictures of, you know, videos and stuff in the last 15 years. But previous to that, I didn't have any pictures of me when I was really a teenager, or when I was in my 20s, or my 30s really. I guess I started this when I was 35.

And so, but before that, I didn't have any, any pictures. Don't I don't have any pictures. And I quite like to quite like to see some, just to, I don't know, get more of a, I get more of a sense of what I look like.

I must have looked like something. When I had a face, I'm sure I did. I must have done.

They must, something must have happened before 2005 or 2006. I mean, in a way, my life started in 2006. In some ways, because that's when I started doing this stuff.

But in another way, my life started in 1997. When I was a DJ. And I had a social life.

And I had a love life. A dating life, I had fun. I was starting to learn hypnosis.

And you know, that was in some ways a beautiful time for me. You know, it wasn't without its problems, but it's and why would it be. But there was some beautiful things happen there in that time.

Some really lovely things. And I had fun. I had some fun, which is something I haven't had for a long, long time.

I mean, I have fun doing this, I guess. And you know how I have a laugh with people, you know, that's fun, I suppose. But actually doing something, spending time with a female, going out and do you know that it's been a long time since I've really done any of that stuff.

And a part of that is because I stink. So that doesn't help. So I suppose if I washed more, but then there's I don't I don't know, I quite like the idea of I don't know about having a girlfriend, but at least dating, you know, but not dating as in blind dates, having not met them, they don't know me, they don't know me.

I'd quite like the person to have a sense of who I am. You know, they want to meet with me and because they like me or whatever they attracted to me because of my amazingly good looks, you know, just generally. You know, I mean, you get me, you understand.

Oh, never drink. Oh, oh, oh, oh, guess what? I did my second episode of my hospital radio alternative podcast. And so far, I've had 66 listens or downloads so far.

So it's on Spotify. Check it out if you're wanna. And I have, I'll put a link on my website actually.

And I'll put a little post at the top of the page of the first page. There's a there's a picture of the podcast with a link that you can click on. And it's only available on Spotify.

And the podcast is me talking, it's a little bit like this really. But with songs, and not, don't worry, I'm not singing. The songs are the songs I choose.

So I'll give you an example. I'll actually tell you, let me tell you. So Oh, okay, let me come out of that.

Where's the want to open up? That's a little bit careful. It'd be I want to open up the wrong thing. And okay, I should really do it on Spotify.

Spotify, hospital radio. Hospital radio. Yeah, yesterday's one.

This is the second one. There's OMG featuring will.i.am. It's only it's only make believe by Conway Twitty. Bad guy by Billie Eilish.

Down Under men at work. Nothing breaks like a heart featuring Miley Cyrus. And that's Mark Ronson as well.

Papa don't preach a Madonna. Someone you loved Lewis Capaldi, and the tide is high blondie. How's that for a mix of different songs? Hey, and the first one.

The first one I had was and see all episodes. Oh, the first one. There was Club Tropicana by Wham.

Bad by Michael Jackson. The Wanderer by Dion. Tired of being alone, Al Green.

Arthur's Theme. Best that you can do by Christopher Cross. Billy don't fall, which is Terrence Trent Darby.

I have nothing by Whitney Houston. Don't stop believing by journey. True faith, new order, and always look on the bright side of life from Monty Python.

So what's that? 12345678910 10 songs in the first one. 10 songs in the first one. How many songs in the second one? There must have been less.

10 songs. What is it? 12345678. So there's only eight songs in the second one.

That's not right, is it? Should be at least 10. Personally, I'd like to be about 20 songs per radio show. But you know, there's a few limitations.

And I just think it's amazing that I'm able to do it. So it's a lot of fun. Well, it's a bit of fun.

Well, it's something. I'm not sure what, but it's something. It's just, it's not quite how I'd like to do it.

I mean, you know, I'd like to, I guess I'd like to talk and then just play the song, and then probably talk over the song. So that wouldn't be ideal for other people listening, I guess. But to be able to put a radio show together, I think it's pretty groovy.

So I'm quite, quite pleased to be able to do it. And, you know, it's, it's a small audience. I've only done two recordings or two, two radio shows.

Maybe by the time I've done 50 or 100, perhaps I'll have an audience. I don't know. I didn't know.

I'm thinking maybe I should change the name of it as well. Because it's a bit of a, I don't know if that name will really mean much to people. I don't know what could it, Jason's groovy radio show.

I don't know. Honestly, didn't know. But I didn't even really want to put my name on it.

I mean, I put my name on it, not sort of make a like this is Jason Newland's podcast. Just some really, for me, it's just, I don't know. I mean, I'm a little tiny little bit of feedback from people who said they liked it.

And it is, I suppose what it is, it's more focused. So when I'm talking, I'm more focused than I am when I'm doing these recordings. Because when I'm doing these recordings, the focus is practically a non existent as I just waffle on about whatever I feel like.

Because there's no stopping me. There's no, I mean, there's a natural end, you know, I will come to an end about an hour. But there's no interruptions.

There's no, you know, but with the radio show on Spotify, I do, I talk for like maybe 10 minutes, and then I play the next song. So that recording is just 10 minutes long. So there's there's no momentum.

In a sense of me just waffling on and going off on a tangent or whatever. It's a little bit more focused on you know, that was Hello, welcome back. That was the previous last song that I just played.

And now I'm going to play another song after this bit of talking. Hmm. And you know, it takes a little bit getting used to because it's all broken up.

So, you know, eight songs with a introductions to each song. So a eight bits of audio that I need to edit each one individually, and then add it in a slot it needs to go. And then there's this song and the next bit slots and naming them all like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and the name of the song.

So I know which one goes where. It's just it's not hard. But it is new, ever so new to me.

It's a very new thing. And I've only been doing it since the weekend. It was the first one I did was a Friday or was it Saturday? I think it was Saturday.

And the next one I did was yesterday, Monday. I think. Again, I lose track.

I don't know. Does it say on there? Does it say what days? What days? No, it doesn't. No, it does.

Sunday. Oh, so Friday, I did the first one. Sunday, I did the second one.

So it's two days ago, I did that. The second one. And since now, yes, Tuesday, it's half 10 in the evening.

Tuesday, the 9th of March, 2021. Oh, yes. 2021.

I'm just so pleased with how the years are going by. That's weird how quickly things go. That's why there's a real part of me.

There's a big part. There's not many big parts, but there's a big part of me that really wants to sort of just get down to it. And it's like, let's get some work done.

Let's do something with the time that I have. You know, to be able to look back and say, well, you know what? Last year, I got something done. I worked hard.

I produced some recordings and you know, hopefully helped a few people along the way. And I kind of have felt a bit like that the last two years. When I came to the end of the year, and I've looked back and thought, you know, each year I produce more recordings.

So pretty much the last four years, since I moved in here, the last five years, I've become more productive. And the last two years, I've really been able to focus on the podcasts, although I will be now pod focusing on the YouTube videos as well, which will be, it'll be a bit weird. Because if things go to plan, I will be videoing myself as I record myself.

Oh, I know. Freaky. Yeah.

So there you go. So far, on my podcasts, 2,753,632. Now, Rogan, whatever his name is, gets 200 million a month.

So I can't really match that. But he is a top podcaster in the world. So I don't know where I am.

I don't know if I might not even be in the top 100,000 downloads or podcasters. I might not be in the top 100,000. Wow.

I think I must be I must be in the top 10,000 you know, of podcasters for for listens. I mean, to make a podcast, if you're famous, it's very easy. Apart from the fact that you get other people to do all the work, to put it together to edit it to get, you know, use their recording equipment.

And you just talk, especially if you got two famous people making it together. There's quite a few of those kind of podcasts out there. Two famous people, two famous actors or sports celebrities or whatever.

They've got an instant audience, instant. You know, even maybe millions of people. So, you know, if Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, just trying to think of some celebrities, if Rihanna and Miley Cyrus decided to make a podcast together, they would be getting millions and millions and millions and millions of listeners and downloads every single day.

You know, it'd be so popular because they're so popular. They are. I mean, if you think about it, they could possibly become the most popular podcast overnight.

Then if you go to YouTube, there's a few really, really popular YouTubers. I say a few, there's lots. But there's there's those at the top, you know, the top of the tree.

PewDiePie, PewDiePie, whatever. I actually watch his, he's really funny. And I don't know why, but he's, I can see why he's popular.

Because he's very natural. And he's got an accent. I think he's from Sweden or somewhere.

But his accent is, he sounds like he's making fun of people. Like he's, when he says stuff like he's, he's got almost like an American accent, but with, you know, Swedish. And the way he pronounces things, he's, he's got, he would, in fact, what I would say is he's got one of those voices that you'd recognize.

If he was in, I don't know, let's say if he was a television presenter. And he's earning more money doing YouTube than he would do if he was a TV presenter, probably. Unless he was like, yeah, I don't know.

But he's very, he's got a specific kind of voice, very, you'd notice it. I think if you heard it like, oh, that's PewDiePie, or I don't know what his real name is, Felix, I think. But I've been watching some of the popular YouTube people.

And they're now like in their 30s. Some of them were teenagers when they started. And they were really rich and famous, very young.

And now they're adults. And it's quite interesting to see. So I didn't, I used to, I used to look at them a little bit when I was younger, just to sort of, oh, yeah, a lot of it was gaming, gaming channels.

And I was never really been into gaming. It's just something that I'm not really into. So I didn't really watch it, even though some of the dialogue and the, you know, the, the person might be playing a game, but what they say, while they're doing it, it's really funny.

Now, there was someone that was really good at that, but I don't think he realized Sebastian. He's one of the used to listen or to watch videos and stuff was my stuff. And he made a video channel.

We made a video on his video channel, where he's playing a video game. And his his dialogue over it was really funny. So that would have been, I think he he really hit that niche quite well, because he was funny.

And once it's like, oh, it's just another person playing a game. But once they watched, and they listened to him, he heard what he was saying, they'd want to listen again. Because it wouldn't be so much about the game, it would be about what he was saying, which is really funny.

So I think that's how a lot of the YouTube, the big YouTubers started out with doing gaming, and then moved on to maybe vlogs. And, you know, I don't know, maybe got instead of being behind the camera, because they, you know, just having a screen, maybe they start showing themselves on the camera, feeling a bit more confident and stuff and, and then grew from there and then became huge. And then 10 years later, there's still some of them, I suppose, have stopped.

But really amazing. I was watching PewDiePie released a new video, I was just on YouTube, and he's popped up. I feel like 11 minutes ago is a new new one, already had 16,000 views.

And the time it took me to watch the video, the views went up to, I think it was over 300,000 just in, you know, sort of 15 minutes. And I kept refreshing it, I just couldn't believe it. What I was doing is actually I was, I was just stopping the video, pausing it, and just counting a minute.

And then going to look at the stats again, and it gone up by sort of like 40,000, 50,000. Really? I was just huge. In fact, where is it? Where's the remote control? I used to have a remote control.

I don't know where it is. Let's get rid of the volume so doesn't make any sound. Okay, so I go to YouTube.

And I should subscriptions, go to subscriptions, PewDiePie. Okay, it's a top. Three hours ago, one day ago.

Right. 2.8 million. This is one I was listening to the one I was watching.

It lasted 13 minutes 45 seconds. It's called daily dose predicted my future. Now the one now he released it three hours ago.

And it's got 48.4,000. Okay. So what I'll do. So 48.4,000. Okay.

And it might sound a bit weird to do this. But I'm going to freeze it. Okay.

So 48.4,000 views. I'm going to pause it for a minute. Just a minute.

How do I count a minute? One potato, two potato, three potato, four. I don't know. Blimey.

Calendar, not calendar. Stopwatch. Stopwatch.

Start. Okay. Okay, I'm counting to a minute.

So I'll only do it for 50 seconds because I spent 10 seconds faffing around. So it's 48.4. Wait a minute. No, it's 484,000.

Blimey. Did I say 48.4? That's 484,000. Blimey.

400 is my eyesight. See, I haven't got a glass on 484,000 in three hours. So 50 seconds is up now.

So that's about a minute. So I'm going to refresh it. So I can see.

So I need to do just go back and then click on it again. No, it's wrong one. Sorry.

Click on the new one again. Oh, it hasn't changed. Wow.

It hasn't changed at all. So maybe once it gets to that kind of level, I'll stop with the adverts. I think you like the adverts.

Don't you want to support the channel? Shut up. Okay, that wasn't a good example. I think once it gets to that, they probably stop counting.

And then they sort of wait until it gets to a million or something like that. That ruined the whole thing. It ruined the whole thing.

So 2.8 million for the other one. That's a lot. It's a lot of views.

It's a lot. You know, I mean, the most I ever got on my YouTube channel, I've had a few channels with the most popular channel I ever had. The most I ever got was half a million views.

That's between all of the videos. And he gets more than that. Probably in an hour.

Well, probably. Yeah, definitely. I'm pretty much Yeah.

Based on the one I was watching the other day yesterday. Took me a year takes him an hour. So I don't know how much he'd be making just from that one video alone.

And I don't know, really. I wasn't making much money a month, like maybe 180 pound a month was under $80. I forget.

It was a big difference back then less so. So yeah, I suppose two grand for half a million four. So maybe he might be making like 5456 grand for that video alone.

Just the first day without all the millions that watched on all the other videos he's got. So yeah, he's he's doing really well for himself. In fact, I can tell you, this is not interesting to anyone I know, but it's interesting to me.

And that's, it's always been the main thing, really, isn't it? YouTube stats. I know a few little secret little secret little places they say. And where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? That's weird.

Why are you hiding? You I see. Okay. There's a website called social blade.

And you can check it literally tells you the top websites in the world at the top YouTube channels in the world in the world. Not Mars, but in the world. Oh, wow.

Okay, number one is T series. I don't know who T series is. They've got 15,000,076 videos, 175 million subscribers.

And they've got 146 billion. Wow, I think 146 billion views. There's a few PewDiePie, PewDiePie is number four.

He's done 4301 videos, 109 million subscribers. And he's got 27 billion plus views of his channel. So if I click on that, it should give me more information about him.

Come on. Come on. Right.

He's he's number one in America. He's number four subscriber 23rd video views. Okay.

First in the games category. So what it does actually lets you know, estimated how much he learned estimated. So this is you know, it's really but it's a big difference between a lower number and the big number.

So it says here, subscribers. Well, that's weird. It used to say how many more added on but maybe when it's this kind of number, they can't really judge it.

But he's still on 109 million subscribers. So it's not telling you this month, video views. He's getting about six and a half million video views a day.

Six and a half million a day, which you can see it's very possible, isn't it if he's getting two or three just for one video, and he's got over 1000 other videos. It's, I guess it makes sense. Daily average 5,540,000.

That's just for the last month. Weekly average 38 million video views. And the last 30 days 166 million video views.

And it said his estimated earnings from YouTube, the adverts is for the last 30 days, between $27,000 and $432,000 for the last month. Now it's not gonna be 27,000, it's gonna be a lot higher. So I'd be very surprised if it wasn't more than the amount that they've got there.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't more than half a million pounds. Yes, it's not even dollars, it's pounds. So $432,000.

So that's probably about 600 million, 600 million, $600,000. So he's gonna be half a million a month, which is, I mean, he's the number one. That's that, you know, the rewards go to the number one.

That's, that's the whole kind of, that's the way things work, isn't it? The number one tennis player, the number one snooker player, the number one singer, you know, recording artist, the number one hypnotist. Oh yeah, the number one, I will be number 42 one day. I will be, I don't know what number, where would I rank myself? Where would I rank myself off the list of, you know, people? I don't know.

It's hard to say because I'm not, I'm no, I'm no longer a player on YouTube, a player. I used to be. I used to be one of the original YouTube hypnotists.

I was, but I was never the most popular, but I had a, I definitely had an audience. Podcast wise, now that's a hard one. It's a hard one to really know.

I've got to be somewhere, haven't I? Yeah, I've got to be somewhere. What, a 510? Yeah, 150,000 downloads a month at least. You know, it's not really 200 million now, is it? Like, no, no, it's not 200 million.

Shut up. Leave me alone. Leave me alone.

It's weird though, because why is it only got, this is YouTube analytical history for PewDiePie. Monthly gained video views for PewDiePie. And this is monthly gained subscription for subscribers with PewDiePie.

It went up. He got 6,617,000 subscribers in one day in January, I think. Or maybe it was just the month.

I don't know. But now, according to this, September, January, 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 December 2018, month of December 2018, he got 6.6 million subscribers. The month of February 2021, he got 1 million subscribers.

But the month of January, according to this, he got no subscribers. So that's weird. They're not clearly not really doing their job on this one, I don't think.

So is to check me out. See, the good thing about me, okay, I'm not to blow my own trumpet, wouldn't we all like to, but it's, I'm honest about how rubbish I am, how rubbish I'm doing. And yeah, not not really doing very well on YouTube at all.

This YouTube channel was created March 15 2018. So literally three years, I've not done anything on it. I uploaded the videos, I've deleted most of the videos I uploaded, because the quality was pretty bad.

And I've just left the popular ones or the most popular ones on there. I've got 42 uploads, 542 subscribers, video views 19,521. Country GB entertainment, that's channel type.

And in my country, I'm ranked 209,156. It's not bad, is it? And estimated yearly earnings, bearing in mind, I do not have adverts on my YouTube videos, I'm not allowed to at the moment. But it would be between one pound and 17 pound a year.

Wow. Now that's exciting, isn't it? Oh, dear. Video, oh man, it's video views 19,052.

Blimey. I mean, even the video views is so low. But then I haven't released anyone.

I'm released for a few days. But the subscribers, I mentioned this the other day, I had about seven extra subscribers in a week, which is just there. And it's the first time, because I don't know if I can go back to look at previous times.

I tell you what happened. Yeah. And this is why I was getting in one and a half thousand video views a month.

Like literally, for two years, pretty much one that will dip in April 2018. But the rest of the time, sometimes 2000. Oh, it really went down, sometimes 1700.

Yeah, sometimes 2000, sometimes 150, 1500. In December, I deleted loads of videos, and it basically minused me 24,271 video views. So those videos are deleted, it had 24,000 views, and they deleted it from it.

And then, okay, March, I've had 399 video views, but we're only a short way into March. Last month, February or January. January.

So about February, or February, I only had 399 video views. That's not good, is it? 1336 video views in January. Now that doesn't make sense, because February on my statistics on YouTube, I had about 1300 video views, apparently.

But it will go up. And it's really, honestly, I had one one month I had 40 subscribers up uploaded another 26. And then it just gradually began like maybe 1011 subscribers a month.

But what is going up now is like a little, little upward slide just gradually, very gradual. So so as you can see, me and PewDiePie are very similar. You know, very similar statistically.

Now, I have to, for me, it's kind of a gamble for me to make videos to record myself in every recording I do. Every podcast I do to actually video myself and put onto YouTube. I'm not sure how much I want to actually do that.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure. If I want to do it actually, at all. So we'll see.

Because you know, part of that is getting myself looking okay for the camera and dressing. I can't wear the same stuff all the time. I can wear the same stuff every day.

If I want making podcasts. If I'm wearing a dressing gown or my special royalty pajamas, a Mickey Mouse underpants, whatever I'm wearing, it doesn't matter if I'm talking into a microphone. But it's very different.

If I'm going to be if I'm going to be talking into a camera. We'll see. Anyway, so you got a lot longer than normal.

83 minutes. Wow. You must feel blessed.

How do you feel? I'm blessed. Wow. You've been blessed.

How did that happen? Who blessed you? I don't know. It's just something I say. That's what I'm just I'm blessed.

What do you mean you're blessed? Don't ask me that. Just I'm blessed. What does it mean though? Well, no one knows what it means.

It's just a saying. It's something we say. I don't know why.

You're blessed. But who blessed you the Pope? What? Who blessed you? Why were you blessed and nobody else is blessed? Why you? Oh, you have a magic pinkie. Do you have a magic pinkie? So you're blessed.

You have special knees, special left knee that made you special. So you must be blessed for it. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Oh, so that was loud. I should leave now. He's getting gone.

Oh, Harry. Oh, my son, Harry. How are you, my son? Yeah.

Harry, one would like to know. I'm a little bit confused. You're Ginger.

And, you know. No, sir. No, Daddy.

I don't know what you're saying. Well, Harry, you're Ginger. Yes, Daddy.

I know. I'm Ginger. And I was going to ask you about that.

How come I am Ginger? Considering there's no Ginger in the family and Mummy wasn't Ginger and you're not Ginger. Well, Harry, I'm not really here to talk about that. That's probably a different discussion.

And I was wondering, you're Ginger, right? Yes. Yes, Daddy. You keep saying that.

Well, I was just wondering something. What were you wondering, Daddy? What was it, Daddy? Well, I was wondering, well, you know, you're Ginger. Yes.

And you're quite pale, aren't you? Quite pale, pale skin and ginger. Well, yes, it normally goes together with ginger, doesn't it, Daddy? Ginger and pale skin. It's quite a combination that you have been very blessed.

Thank you very much for that gift, Daddy. But the 40 million I get every year probably makes up for it anyway. But what were you saying there, Daddy? Well, young Harry, I was wondering, it's about your baby.

It's about the baby, you know, when the baby's born. Yes, Daddy. Well, do you want to know whether you think the baby's going to be Ginger? Is that what you're saying? Um, not exactly.

That wasn't quite what I was thinking, young Harry. Along those lines, you were wondering if the baby would have pale skin like me and freckles, like a ginger, like a young little ginger boy, like I am. Is that what you're wondering, Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Well, I've got an idea.

Why don't I ask? I'll get your granddad to ask you. He's a bit better at these kind of questions. Yeah.

OK, then, Daddy. Bye. I've got to get back because, you know, in America, it's a different time zone.

Bye then. Bye. Bye-bye, son.

Bye, Daddy. And yeah, so that's that's the end of this recording. Thank you for listening.

Take care of yourself and anyone watching documentaries about royalty. Try to forget that you've got two actresses talking to each other and one of them has an Oscar. Try to forget trained actresses and one of them has an Oscar.

An Oscar. One of them has an Oscar. An Oscar.

Yes. I don't know if I'd ever. It's hard to trust an actor, isn't it? You know they're really good at pretending.

That's all acting is, is pretending, pretending to something or other. Just remember, Harry, when we do the interview, I just want you to just sit there looking uncomfortable the whole time. OK.

OK, wifey. Yeah, I could do that. Can I speak to my daddy before I talk to him? No, I don't want you to talk to your daddy first.

I want you to talk to my daddy. Um, yeah, anyway, thank you for listening to me. Maybe one day we will meet.

And it may be over coffee or a pint of milk. Yeah, that's the end of that song. It wasn't very good.

I'm too lazy to edit it out. It's bad, isn't it? So take care. Goodbye.

Ta-ra for now. Ta-ra.
