#730 Let me bore you to sleep - SCAMMERS - Jason Newland (19th September 2021)

Hello and welcome to Jason Newland dot com. My name is Jason Newland and this is let me bore you to sleep. Please only listen, only listen, ONLY LISTEN when you can safely close your eyes.

Because, you may get so damn bored that you'll have no option but to just let your eyelids drop down and you'll relax so deeply, fall asleep, yeah. So, um, that's going to be a new, a new, a new way I'm going to do things. I'm going to start just shouting at people, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep.

Let's see if that works, might work for some people. So, things are going pretty well, pretty well. This is the fourth recording of today, so that's nice.

Um, been transcribing still, so I've used up all the transcription things, let me have a quick look. How many have I done, 289 deep sleep whisper hypnosis recordings have now been transcribed. So, over the next couple of days I will be adding those to the podcasts and, uh, hopefully that, that will hopefully help with Google and search engines, and other search engines.

It's weird, you know, being, being a B-I-N-G, they're still trying to get people to use their search engines. It's just, it's a Microsoft thing isn't it, whenever you buy something from Microsoft they try and get you to use it, the same as Apple try and get you to use Safari, which actually in fairness I do, on my phone I use Safari most of the time. I've got Google there but just, I don't know, I think they've, just Safari I think works a little bit better on the iOS, the EOS.

So yeah, everything's, I don't know, I've felt a bit, not felt great the last few days but I've still managed to be active. So I think Friday when I didn't go and do the things I wanted to do, you know, well not I wanted to do but I needed and had planned to do, the opticians, the doctors, and then I didn't do it, I didn't go out. I felt a little bit, like let myself down, a little bit, just, but honestly I couldn't face it, I just couldn't face going out, didn't want to.

But you know, on the other side I have been proactive here, I've got on and I don't know how many recordings I've done but I think I did four yesterday and I think I did three the day before, at least. So yeah, I think it's okay, you know, and I've been doing other things as well.

Actually because you know I've been recently streaming myself making the podcasts, haven't done it for a couple of days but there's a reason for that, partly because I can't stand the way I look, I really don't like it, I really don't, I mean I never, I never made a video, watched it back and thought, oh, oh, oh that's, oh he's sexy, you know, I never kind of thought that, I'm now looking at myself and thinking, I just look old and I don't want to look old, I don't want to.

I think the problem is the cameras nowadays are just too damn good, they pick up everything and with the webcam or with the using the phone to stream, it wasn't a great picture as well, so I've just contradicted myself.

I think it's a better picture during the day, I don't look quite, I don't know, I just looked, my stomach's grumbling, I've just eaten, I just didn't like it, I don't like how I look, so outside of plastic surgery, I'm not really sure what to do, so I've been looking at it, now I've got a camera, a decent blogging camera actually and I figured out how to use that as a webcam with my laptop using OBS, now I'm kind of, I was surprised I figured it out, I mean, I didn't just figure it out, I

did look online to find out how to do it, but I've tried OBS before and I found it complicated, but this time I seem to have found it a little bit easier and partly that might be because I've got more space now, I've got the desk set out, I'm not moving everything around, I can just have something that stays in its place, so I can set a camera up and it just stays there, it doesn't move, doesn't have to be moved, the iPad's here, the microphone's there, everything's kind of in its place, which is just

easier, the problem I had with the laptop is it was overheating, it was making lots of, well to me, more noise than was acceptable and having spent the last year or longer using an iPad, which is silent, I don't want to go back to using laptops that are noisy, now the laptop's not supposed to be noisy, it's just not, it's supposed to be quiet and I was trying to figure out how to cut down the noise, now one thing is the air vents, I might need to get myself like a laptop cooler tray thing, so

that the air can get into it and it doesn't overheat, the other thing is to not have too many things running on it at the same time, so if I'm going to use OBS, which is the software for streaming, I think you can do other things on there as well, I am going to just use that and nothing else and then to not leave it on charge, so to take the charger out and to just use the battery, apparently all those three things should cool it down and keep it quiet, I'm hoping I can do

without buying the tray, it's like a stand or something that you put it on, I'm hoping to do without that for now, so I can just you know use it, so probably tomorrow or the next day, because I've still got a little bit of playing around to figure out the best settings for the camera, I might start, I might be able to do my first stream, live stream on YouTube and on Facebook at the same time and it'll be a really good picture, because it's going to be a really good camera, not the inbuilt webcam

and I still don't understand that you know, no matter how much you pay for a laptop, the inbuilt cameras always rubbish, like compared, it's fine for doing for like zooming and stuff like that, unless it's a date, you know if it's just a fam, you know family member, hi and you can see each other, if it's like a romantic occasion, then you'd want a really good picture wouldn't you, you know if I don't know if it's especially like I know during lockdown people were dating online apparently, using zoom, not really my thing, but you know

for those that like it, good on you, so it's gonna be a really good picture and I'll be able to, I think I can share it, stream I think at the same time YouTube, Twitch and Facebook and maybe a couple of others, but not the ones that I know of, I'm not on Twitch, so I guess I could, well I probably am, but I'm not an active user, I generally seem to sign up for everything that's new, keeping my toes on the pulse as it were, but I am also next week, well as well as

doing that, I will be streaming live to Instagram and then next week I'll be also in streaming live to Twitter, so all at the same time, streaming live to all of those places, using different cameras and phones and stuff and I did a bit of research today and I found this thing, I'll tell you what favourites, what is the favourite bar, okay favourites, no it's not coming up, I thought I'd saved it, well never mind, well it's this camera which is completely not connected to anything, I think, I guess you connect it to your laptop

or something, no, no you don't, you connect, it's, I think it's probably got its own power source, but it's a camera that's completely separate, you don't have to connect it to, you do it via an app on your phone and you can stream to most of the places apart from Instagram, Instagram doesn't allow streams to be shared, you have to do it separate, there probably is a way around it, they don't, they frown upon it, they don't like it, so I don't want to upset them, you know I feel like my relationship with Instagram is

quite new and fresh and you know I want, I want to, I just want them to like me, I want the owners of Instagram to, I really want them to like me, I don't want to, I don't want to tread on their, tread on their knees, you know, I don't want to upset anyone, so this camera, right, it's about 300 pound or something, maybe a bit more, but this, it's built to stream, it's basically a streaming camera and it's supposed to have a really good picture and you can stream to everywhere pretty much, apart from

a couple of places, all at the same time and how perfect would that be, now it's not something I can get anytime soon, so that's going to be a couple of months, maybe end of the year, maybe beginning of next year, I might get that, in the meantime I will use the laptop and use the other ways of doing it, but it's like wow, it just would be so much easier just to have one thing, one camera and it's only a little thing, like a little tubular thing, which you stick on a tripod on your

desk and that's it and you're streaming and you're just doing it via your phone, it's like wow, how amazing is that, so yeah, that might be the way to go, but I'd have to see if I like the streaming or not, if it's something that I'm going to do, you know, continuously, regularly, daily, because if not, then probably it's not much point.

But then there's the other side is, I mean the camera, I do, yeah, I'm going to have to figure out some kind of microphone situation, because the camera's got a microphone and people will be able to hear, but it won't be, I mean that's, in a sense that's a benefit, that the quality of the sound is much better on the actual podcast than on the live stream, because then people may want to listen to the podcast.

I don't know, I just thought it would be a way, possibly the best way to promote the podcasts and I thought that I was unable to stream on YouTube, but what it is, is I'm unable, I'm unable to stream using a mobile phone onto YouTube, on my YouTube channel, but that facility is not available to me at the moment, but using a laptop, I can stream as often as I like, so I played around with it today, and that's perhaps what I'm going to be doing.

Yeah, that's about as exciting as I'm going to get on that one. I just, I might as well, might I, might as well, and if I can, with the camera, it's got a, like a soft filter, so I look a bit more human, human, which suits me better.

And so, let's see if I've got anyone to say hello, oops, I'll get my phone out, keep my phone away from the microphone, I don't want to, I don't want to cause it to go like that, just like that. Enjoy ad-free videos on YouTube, you know what, I'm beginning to want to, like I'm thinking I might start paying for it, oh dear.

Your YouTube studio, okay, so people are starting to listen to my, to my recordings, which is nice, or you know, to my videos and stuff on YouTube, the subscription's gone up, because it went down, I lost about 20, 25 subscribers when I was uploading all of my podcasts, and look, I mean, I've only got a small amount of subscribers on YouTube to start with, but I think the bombardment of hundreds of video, of podcasts being added to the YouTube channel was a bit too much for anyone, so some people just deleted me, but now that

I'm just uploading the newest, the latest recordings, with a video or a sharing from the podcast, the subscribers started to go up, so not by a huge amount, but I'm now at 540, I was at, I was at 539 yesterday, and the day before 538, so it's like one a day or something.

I am excited, but if you're on YouTube, and you just fancy checking me out, and maybe adding me as a, you know, subscribing to my channel, helping me out, that'd be nice, thank you, it's just my name, basically, and you see my funny face on there, you can't, there's no one else looks like me, although I think, is it Bing, they have a search engine, you can take a picture of yourself and search the internet for, well, I did it to search for myself, but it searches for pictures like that, and the amount of prison

photographs that came up was ridiculous, I'm not even joking, that's wrong, I wasn't best happy, so I've had, what have I had, okay, go back, just looking to see what messages I've had, comments, comments, and so, say hello to a load of Tosh, it's a young man who has been, he says he's young, so yeah, so I don't know what his name is, but a load of Tosh, be very, very supportive actually, so thank you, he says very nice things about my new videos, and also to Freddy Rudu, thanks Freddy, your favorite uncle Hubert, so

that's, thanks Hubert, Sam, thank you, Bill G, thanks, Chris, and Emerson, and the thing is, some of these are, I don't know which ones are real and which ones aren't, generally I know some of them because there's some people who follow me years ago, like Cutter Kite, and Norman Gibson, so you know, there's a few people that I recognize the names, Will's Pirate Jack, he's sort of, so yeah, but there's some, and I've noticed this, I've never noticed this before, before, like recently, but then I suppose I haven't really been that active on YouTube for

a few years, the, some people post messages and they're not real people, they're like, I don't know who they are, and I don't, I can't always tell which ones are which, because they sound real, they sound like, does that make sense?

So Anitul Kakejo posted, and it's just an A on the picture, now that's easy enough because some people don't put pictures of themselves on the profile on YouTube, but he said jokes are funnier when you tell them, now that sounds real, because my ego allows that message and accepts it, but then someone's wrote, Stan, if someone based an internet meme on you, it would have impeccable grammar, again, it might be real, I don't know, a liar Marley, you have a good sense of humor, you have the courage of your convictions, and I think, I mean,

I don't remember, well, I don't remember hardly anything that I talk about in these recordings, but courage of my convictions doesn't really sound like me, is it, you know, it's, um, I don't know, you know, it's like, oh, you are a wonderful peacekeeper, doesn't sound like me, just doesn't, you know, your podcasts bring the world together, I'm not sure that's really, so I don't know, when I get messages posted like that on the comments on the YouTube videos, I kind of tend to think that they might be fake, but they might not be, because I've

made that mistake before, a few times, misapprehended or misunderstood a message or comment that's been posted and replied or talked about it and upset a few people over the years, not meaning to, but just, you know, saying something and it's like, well, and I don't, I think what it is, because a lot of my followers or my listeners are female and without sounding sexist, all women should be in the kitchen all the time, no, I'm joking, without being sounding sexist, um, I imagine I get, and men will get different, like friend requests and, um, you

know, from women trying to, uh, sell adult services, you know, I got a Facebook request today from a woman and she said, and it was a picture of her all dressed up in a nightie or whatever, um, I guess getting ready for a good night's sleep, and on the, on her page she said, I've set up a WhatsApp page so that we can all get together and do things, if you know what I mean, I thought, so I added her, you know, obviously I accepted her request and I hope to meet her next week, that's

probably not a good example, but there's a lot of, there's a lot of scammers out there that seem to aim at men, middle-aged men, who they think are desperate and lonely and sad and vulnerable, and I guess that's what they look, when they see me, that's what they think of, they look at my profile, they see my picture, and I guess they might think that I'm, I'm fresh for the taking, and I'm going to send them money, and that I'm desperate, and they're right, no, I'm not, I'm really not, I am, um, the idea of

traveling, you know, even if I did, if it, if, on the Facebook dating, I added my profile on there, because I thought, why not, never know, nothing's come of it yet, and probably won't, but you know, who knows, and I've had a few women contact me, and I think the problem is, they seem to want to have a conversation, and I don't quite understand why, so you know, I'll like, like their picture or their profile, and that's it, and they're happy, they're welcome to come around and, you know, do something, but how do I have

to have a conversation, like, how are you, how's your family, what, well, I don't know what to say, I don't, uh, what, why, what do you mean, how am I, what do you want to know, how am I, who I am for, I'm talking about strangers, not someone that I've talked to, or someone that listens to my podcasts and stuff, that's different, but just someone that I don't even know, out of the blue, adding me, and my first thing I say to people is, do you listen to my podcasts, because if they're not listening to

my podcasts, or following me online, then there's no reason for them to be adding me as a friend on Facebook, because there's no point, it's just, it's just like, what's the point, why, why, why, why, why, but then, you know, I've had a couple of Chinese ladies showing interest in me, and like, they're living in, I think one lives in France, I wouldn't even travel a mile away, I wouldn't date someone that lived a mile away, I wouldn't go that, that much distance to meet someone, I'm too lazy, unless you live in the same road,

I'm really not bothered, I'm just, that's why I need to move regularly, because there's no one in this road, there was a lady downstairs, but she died, so that wasn't any good, plus she had no interest in me, which is ironic, because I saw what she did date, and she weren't interested in me, that's funny, although she was a little bit interested, but I just, she was vulnerable, she was very vulnerable, and I didn't want to, I didn't want to talk to her really, I guess, let's be honest, but I couldn't be bothered, but I

just didn't, wasn't that interested really, just, I had Andre, I didn't need anything else, all my love went to him, there was none left, there was none left for anyone else, she was nice though, but blimey, I think if I'd have, if I'd have got involved with her, I just would have broken my heart to bits, because, you know, she was, had serious problems, and, you know, as I said, died, so I was like, wow, I don't think I could have handled that, it was bad enough just sort of being friends with her, and her

dying, I mean, dealing with that, you know, that was quite traumatic, a little bit, it's very weird, a very weird situation, very, it's weird, you know, when you've got a neighbor, you don't really see them that often, I mean, in the early days, I got on really well with her, and then she'd get a boyfriend, and I wouldn't see her for months at a time, and, but I'd hear her downstairs, turning the bathroom light on, I'd just hear her laughing, I'd hear her shouting at the TV when the football was on, and stuff like that,

so in some ways, it feels like I was almost living with her, in a weird way, because if you can hear what the person is doing, I couldn't hear what she was doing, but I could hear her movements, and just little movements, you know, as I said, I don't mean like yoga, or tai chi, what I mean is, turning, just turning the light on and off, because it echoes, it's a very echoey light, oh yes, but I'm, I want a point, there was a point to what I was saying, yeah, there's a lot of scammers

out there, and it makes it harder, because I start to wonder, when I get messages like, is this a real person, because so many people don't put, especially with YouTube, they don't put their picture of themselves on their YouTube channel, unless they're producing videos, so it seems a lot of people that don't produce YouTube videos, they just put a picture of something, so I've got, I don't know who I'm dealing with, I don't know what age they are, I don't know if it's a man, or a woman, or an oyster, I don't know, just not

sure, which is fine, it doesn't matter, but I just, with Facebook, you can kind of see, sort of, mind you, the amount of people that post pictures of themselves when they were young, or even worse, post pictures of their daughter, so sometimes, sometimes I go on Facebook, I get a friend request, this is a long time ago, so if anyone's sent me a friend request recently, it's not you, and I look and I felt, oh, like, I always sometimes check out who, I always check out everyone that sends a friend request, just to see if

they're genuine or not, if it's a page that's just started, they're just, you know, they've just joined Facebook, like, last week, there's a clue that perhaps they're not, perhaps not genuine people, doesn't mean it's not true, but it's, yeah, and if it's just pictures of bikini shots, then, well, I give it a go anyway, I give them the benefit of the doubt, no, I'm joking, I'm not, I am not joking, and then I get, I get people with my surname adding me, and, like, from all over the world, it seems to be almost, like, let's

all get onto one Facebook page, we've all got the same surname, like, no, I mean, we might be related, but, I mean, it's interesting, and if so, because there's a lot of people in, like, Trinidad, and Nigeria, people with my surname, so, I could very well have relatives from, you know, in other countries, going back, yeah, I'd be interested to, it'd be nice if you could just, I don't know, take a picture, and all their history, the DNA, not DNA, but all of, well, I guess DNA, but, you know, all the ancestry kind of comes

up, and the connections, and see, okay, well, we're related by our great, great, great grandparents, used to have, used to go dogging, or something, and we just, I don't know, you know, just, and then, eventually, a baby was born, and then that baby moved, I don't know how babies move, I guess with the parents as well, blah, blah, blah, I've got bored of that sentence, I just can't be bothered anymore, it bored me, I bored myself, oh, but yeah, the scammers, the scammers, even now, it's like, it's more than it used to be, I'd say

in a month, I'd probably get, not a huge amount, but probably at least 10 scammers try to add me on Facebook, friend requests, and it's always like the same thing, you know, I used to just add anyone, didn't even look at their profile picture, just add them, didn't care, but since I've been getting these scammers over the last couple of years, I do look at everyone, and this is like, within about five minutes of accepting, hi, how are you?

Yeah, fine, how is you, you know, like asking me questions, like, we've had our conversation, you asked me how I am, I said fine, and that was it, there was nothing else to say, I don't even have conversations with people I've known all my life, why am I, I don't do text conversations with people, I can't, I try, I do put an effort in sometimes, but I struggle with it, you know, I like a conversation to be over and done with, as quickly as possible, and then it's done, what is it you want to say,

say it, and then it's done, but to drag something out for hours and days with a sentence, and then another sentence, and then answering, then another sentence, that just, I don't know, I just don't have, I think I'm allergic to texting, which is not good in this climate, because I'd say probably most people would prefer to text than to actually talk, I also don't want to talk either, I have to be in the right mood to talk to someone on the phone, it's, if I'm in a good mood, I'll phone people up, say hey, getting

on, you all right, and then talk about myself for as long as possible, but if I'm not in the right mood, I don't want to talk, and I think part of that is working in a call center, it took away the fun of conversations on the phone, I did it for 11 years, 12 years, or whatever it was, it's not continuously, but I'd worked at three different, well four different companies on the phone, and well five actually, because another one before that, it, so it goes back more than 12 years, 15, 15, I don't know,

so yeah, I just, the enjoyment of talking on the phone is rare, and I did speak to someone, is it yesterday, on the phone, concerning my internet, and I quite enjoyed talking to her, she was nice and ready to laugh and that, and I spoke to someone at the petrol station, a lady that works there, and she was telling me about what she wants to do with her life and that, and she was just skiving really, she was just taking a break, and she, I tell her, you're just skiving, she said, I know, so she

was just taking an opportunity to stand outside and chat to me for, I don't know, 10 minutes or whatever it was, and it was fun, it's fun, you know, like this, but that's more a face-to-face conversation, which I prefer, talking on the phone, hmm, not so much, it's, I don't mind, I mean, but, and I will text if there's no other option, but I prefer just to be face-to-face, it's just easier, it's more natural, yeah, to me, yeah, it's a personal preference, but the scammers out there, even again, someone added me, I look like a

normal person again, and I think it's the same person as before, I just said, I just accepted, and he said, how are you, I just, what I do now is just press the thumbs up button, or the, you know, whatever, just to sort of say, yeah, instead of typing anything, and then she said, have you received your big, your big bonus, government prize, I was like, oh, God, go away, it's the same person as before, it's a scam, you're just scamming me, you're trying to scam, go away, so I just got rid of her, I

deleted, blocked her, I mean, she might be a genuine person, trying to give me money, I don't know, which makes me a bit of an idiot, but I thought, go, because if it's the same person, she said, yeah, it's the, the US had given away this, I said, I don't live in America, and then she came back and said, yeah, it's a really good thing, you need to apply, which means she wasn't reading my message, which to me means that it's some automatic bot, or bot, or someone in another country, that perhaps can't even read

what's being said, they're just sending these messages, one after another, in the hope of, you know, catching people out, and scamming them, or they're trying to gain access to your Facebook page, I don't know, maybe there's, you know, if they keep you, keep you in contact with them enough times, then you get access, they somehow break into your account, I don't know, I don't know what it is they're after, I don't have anything worth stealing, don't try and steal off me, there's nothing, but I think the problem, what it is, is it puts my guard

up a little bit, and I don't want to have my guard up, and then someone genuine comes along, and I kind of, I'm in that mode of, well, is this a scammer, is this a real person, especially if I get some young woman that adds me, and I'm thinking, oh, is this, I don't want to think like that, but it's like, oh, is this someone just trying to get me to contact her on WhatsApp, so she can get my credit card number, which I've had in the past, I didn't give my credit card number, but

I'm just saying, I've had people try and do that with me, it's just, oh, my stomach's churning, I've eaten, shouldn't be churning, why is it churning, unless it just didn't like the food that it got, the tuna fish sandwich, but it's only a week old, it should still be all right, yeah, to be fair, I had to get it out of the bin, I forgot, I didn't realise, chucked it away behind the stake last week, but it should be all right, it's pretty airtight, oh, that's weird, I'm just focusing on my stomach, I really should

give more attention to you, shouldn't I, listening to me, why are you, why are you focusing on your tum tum, what about us, what about us, talk to us, don't concentrate on your own body, concentrate on our, on our relaxation, I'll have some coke, that should, um, that can only help my stomach, can't it, oh, so what other things, just looking at these messages, have I had any Facebook messages, let me have a look, actually, I can read that out to you, Jan, like, Jan looks like just a normal person, yeah, she added me, hey,

and so I, pretty much as soon as she added me, 856 943, she sent me a message, no, 856, she sent me a message, hi, how are you doing today, I did a thumbs up, and then 133, so a few hours later, everything is good here, I didn't ask you that, I was just wondering if you had received your mega bonus money yet, now, underneath it says, you've blocked Jan, yeah, too right, I've blocked Jan, I mean, is it, I mean, it could be a, it could be a genuine person, but I would say it's

probably someone's hacked her thing, hacked her Facebook page, I've got another one from Luck Yucky, Luck Yucky, have a nice weekend, that was a 532, eight minutes past six, I did a thumbs up, and then 90 for September, hello, where are you from, okay, so what do you do, do you listen to my podcasts, do you listen to my podcasts, so let's see if she replies, did get a message from Heidi, hi Heidi, Heidi says, hi Jason, hope you're okay, just want to thank you again, I know I thanked you before, but just wanted to

say again, I can't explain my gratitude in the right words, as English is my native language, even now you help me fall asleep, bless you, thank you Heidi, I'm glad to help, actually I did write that, hi, I'm glad to be able to help, I did in capitals, so I wasn't really shouting Heidi, I don't shout, I'm not really a shouter, what is this, Rachel, when you do a podcast about ASMR, please can you send me the link, right, I don't quite understand what you want me to, Rachel wants me to talk about ASMR and

explain it, you could just google it, I mean that would be easier to be fair, so I had another person add me the other day, hello, how are you, and so I was like, okay, cool, thanks, and she replied, cool, thanks, okay, where are you from, why did you add me, is my response, this is a couple of days ago, why did you add me, I don't know why it's, why she's replying, why she's replying the, she's typing out my question, I don't quite understand that, I saw your profile on my Facebook friends suggestion list,

so I decided to add you, to add up, it seems we're mutual friends, do you mind if we get to know each other better, again, I don't know what to do with that, my social skills are terrible, weren't they, so I said, do you listen to my podcasts, and she replied, yeah, a couple of minutes ago, I love it, so how's you and your family over there, so I don't know, um, I got one, here's one I got, Soya Quinn lives in Miami Beach, so she added me the friend request, I added her, this is

the 15th of September, hello, so I didn't reply, I was busy, I'm not, I'm not, this, Facebook is always on my phone, I'm not always on my phone, I'm not looking at Facebook, very well, probably more than I should, but just, you know, to see if I've got messages, and to share stuff, and that, but I'm not really active on Facebook, in a sense of uh, communicating with people, I guess, but here's, here's what she said, hello, I didn't respond, but then she, that was in the evening, okay, that was like 9 42, the next

day was in the early morning, so she, you know, probably when I was in bed, are you infected, are you infected with the virus, block, I just blocked her, like what a stupid question, why would you ask someone that, like, hi, you're, I saw you on my friends list, I thought I'd add you, um, by the way, have you got herpes, like go away, see, this is a good message, Claire added me, so I added her, yeah, I accepted her friend request, hi Jason, I've been listening to you for many years now, and love your

let me bore you to sleeps, sometimes you're so funny, I laugh out loud, would you ever think of doing stand-up again, what's the story of the pink pig in the background of your live stream, was very sorry about Andrew, lots of love, as Tony Blair says, oh yeah, lol, as Tony Blair says, lots of love, PS don't, did I say Claire, I didn't say her surname, did I, please don't say my surname, I didn't say her surname, did I, Smith, um, yeah, I've talked about the pink, the pink pig, in fact, I even did a

boring object, didn't I, yeah, boring objects, I talked about my pig, big pig, pink piggy, pink pig piggy bank, see that message is a brilliant message to introduce yourself to me, because it's saying lovely things to me, I like that, so it's like, hello, I've added you, thanks for Tomo, um, and this is why I've added you, so yeah, I like that, is it weird, I just can't help myself, I got another person, Christy, this is the 8th of September, um, added me as a friend, I accepted, hi there, thanks for the accept, just want

to say your podcasts have helped me switch off at night during a pretty difficult time, your voice is extremely comforting and soothing, I find it very hard to shut my brain up at night, um, in a few personal details, I just want to read that out, um, but your let me bore you to sleep does wonders for me, so thank you, see, what a great way to sort of introduce, uh, yourself, like, so I know, another one, Megan, this is in January, hi Jason, apologies for the random late message, I just wanted to thank you

so much for your recordings, especially your bore me to sleep podcast, I would honestly be lost about them, you make such a big daily difference in my life, I just felt I needed to express my gratitude and let you know, uh, I apologize also if this is the wrong place to let you know, just thought it might be the most direct line, thank you so much again, I hope you have a good day, Megan, so, you know, that's like, a great, um, I don't know, just a nice, a nice way to, you know, introduce yourself,

you know what I mean, you get me, eh, what, eh, I'm even sort of Georgie, uh, hi Jason, I'd like to send you, this is from October last year, I'd like to send you another message just to say thank you for getting me to sleep through the night again, a couple of years ago my anxiety rocketed and I was getting around two to three hours of sleep a night and having a nap during the day, I have listened to you every night even though I am now sleeping through the night for seven plus hours, which

has been around, which is, which has been around about five to six months, you truly are one in a million and need to be protected at all costs, and I don't know what you mean there, need to be protected, um, from myself maybe, I'm a protected species, I can't believe it, I'm like a swan, I'm protected, I'm protected, like a bat, is it bats?

If you find bats in your attic or in your house or your garden or in your beard or in your underpants, wherever, you're not allowed to remove them, they have to stay there, apparently that's the law in this country anyway, you're not allowed to disturb bats, imagine if we had those kinds of laws for humans, made humans a protected species, we wouldn't be able to go to war anymore, that wouldn't be fair, no, oh I did, I did a boring objects recording today and I talked about printers, so just let me know if you, it's,

it's kind of similar to this but I focus on a particular subject and stick to it kind of, as much as I'm ever going to, and it lasts about half hour, 40 minutes, something like that, and but I don't talk about how I am or what's going on in my life, anything like that, I just get in and talk about the subject, it's probably more boring than this, I'd say, it's supposed to be, the aim is that it's a lot more boring than this, but this is more, there's more to this, this is more layered,

it's a much more layered, multi-layered, more multi-faceted, then the boring objects is just bang, it's just like, it's not bang, but I've talked about what, what have I talked about so far, hair I think, I talked about, I can't remember, oh squeaky chair, I can't remember what I talked about, I've done five now, so there's, that's weird, what did I talk, see I can't remember, I generally don't remember what I've talked about, I did the pink pig, piggy bank, I did printers today, um previous to that, I can't remember, I could look, should I look,

boring objects, I've made a special podcast now for it, but I need to make an image, okay here we go, number one was hair, I did, I thought I remembered that, number two was, no, number one was rain, number two was hair, number three was bricks, number four was big pink pig piggy bank, and number five was printers, so I don't know what number six will be, plugs maybe, I don't know, we will see, oh it's ever so exciting, so that's probably enough for me for today, you know all day long I felt like it

was a Monday, but it wasn't, it was Sunday, really it was, it was Sunday, but I just felt like it was Monday, I don't know why, I had that feeling like it was a weekday, not a weekend day, strange isn't it, but anyway, thanks for listening, remember to be kind to yourself, because you deserve to be happy, do something nice for yourself, treat yourself, doesn't have to cost money, just do something, do something that gives you pleasure, lots of love, bye
