#867 News edition - Let me bore you to sleep - Jason Newland) (19th July 2022)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep, the news edition, the news edition. My name is Jason Newland and this is jasonnewland.com. That's my website. You can listen to all my recordings on there.

Also there's links to the different podcast hosts. So for example, if you wanted to listen to this, you wanted to find this on Spotify for example, you can go on Spotify and search or you can just go onto my website, click on the Let Me Bore You to Sleep and then there's a playlist and underneath the playlist there's a list of all the podcast hosts that I'm on. So Spotify, iTunes, Stitcher, Spreaker, blah, blah, blah, lots of different ones.

So yeah, just makes it a little bit easier, hopefully. So, oh yeah, only listen or you can safely close your eyes. Now the point of this is basically I'm going to do a news edition.

I'm just going to look through the news of the day, just see what's happening in the world. See if there's anything I can read out and I'm not going to be focusing on anything that is negative or anything like that. I'm not really interested in that stuff.

Well, the main thing at the moment in the UK is going on about, banging on about the weather. Oh, it's hot. Yeah, it's summer.

A bit so hot. Yeah, it's summer. So yeah, I'm going to move away from that.

Just looking at what the headlines. A lot of these, I noticed a lot of the websites, the news websites, now are. They're almost sort of only giving you a little bit of the news and they're wanting you to ask me to subscribe.

And I don't want to subscribe. In fact, news apps. News apps, what's that? OK, newspaper apps.

There was a there was a thing that I used to have PressReader. 7000 plus magazines and newspapers. PressReader.

Let's have a look at that. See if that's any good. Thousands and it's called PressReader.com. Hmm.

So I've just had my second cup of coffee for the day. I might mighty, mighty, mighty might. Do this morning, like do a morning newspaper.

Let me bore you to sleep. After I've had my breakfast and I said, I'm just drinking my coffee. I hope you enjoyed that sound.

And I just. I was watching something on YouTube and I've been really studying is not the word. I don't study anything, but I'm interested in things and I research.

I read a lot about certain things if I'm interested in them. Now, I don't know if you remember this quite a few years back, the secret came out. Remember the that video, The Secret.

And then a book came out and it was a bestseller and. But it didn't. I watched it, but it didn't tell me what I needed.

I didn't feel like it told me what the secret was at the time. And I read the book and I still like, oh, this seems a bit airy fairy, a bit, you know, metaphysical, a bit energy, you know, and just like, oh. So I needed to find a way to understand it.

A way that I could understand it, that made sense to me. So what I did is I looked at the people that were on the movie. So let me have a look.

I'll name the people The Secret. And speakers on The Secret. Right, OK, so.

Here's some of the people that were on there. John Asarath, Michael Beckwith, John Demartini, Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, James Arthur Ray, Joseph Vitale, Lisa Nichols, Maria, Marie Diamond, John Gray and Bob Doyle. Now, I didn't know.

I knew who John Gray was because he's the one, men are from, men are from Mars and women are from Bali or I don't know where that book. I knew who Jack Canfield was because he did the soup, soup book, that recipe book for different soups. Never heard, I don't think I'd heard of Bob Proctor at that time.

By the way, just out of interest, there is, I'm talking 2005, I would say, maybe 2006, 2005, 2006. I bought a cassette tape or CDs, probably actually CDs, and it was from Jack Canfield and it was absolutely brilliant. Let me see if I can find it.

Jack Canfield CDs, Jack Canfield. Because what it was is Jack Canfield CDs. Because I did read the book, Chicken Soup for the Soul.

This CD, it was, what was it? Yeah, I think this is the one, Success Principles. Success Principles. And I say CD, it might have been cassette tapes.

But I think it was Success, and it was very, very kind of, instead of like a monologue, more like one, two, three, four, and just like a paragraph and then the next paragraph. That's really, really good. I mean, at the time, it was the best thing that I'd listened to for quite some time.

I think it's that, the thing is that I remember it being quite a few, like maybe four, four CDs. So maybe I had a different one to the one there. Success Principles 30 day audio course, six CDs, that's the one.

So if you like sort of, you know, really positive, motivational, but not, not like sweet and sugary kind of stuff, but real, almost, almost spiritual in a sense, then I really do suggest the Success Principles 30 day audio course from Jack Kenfield. And yeah, I'm making $100,000 for each one that you buy. There's a link in the, no there isn't.

I'm making no money, no money at all. It's really worth it. In fact, you know what, I think I had that book.

I think I had it in book form and I gave it as a Christmas present to everyone in my family in 2005. And you should have seen a look on all of their faces, a look of disappointment. And I could read their minds.

It's all the same, like, oh, a book, a book about something I don't know about by someone I've never heard of. Thanks, Jason. Yeah, brilliant.

In fact, I don't think anyone said thanks. And I'm pretty sure that not one of them read it. But if they had read it, it might have actually made a difference to their life.

But can you hear that? Just by moving my chair, it causes a, a, that's why because I'm banging against the desk. Sorry. When you're banging the desk, are you? No, it's when I'm banging against the desk.

So that's Jack Canfield. So I knew about Jack Canfield. And I knew about, I didn't, I didn't know.

I still don't know about a lot of the other people. But what I did do is I revisited revisited it a few years later. Joseph Vitale, I've heard of him.

And I thought, I want to, you know, I didn't find that the secret movie really, it really promoted it. And it sounded great. But like, what? And then I watched the YouTube video.

And it was someone saying, you know, this isn't just about thinking something, you actually have to do something, you know, just don't just think that I want to be a millionaire, and you just suddenly you're gonna have a million pound drop on your head from a tree, you know, it's not how it works. And so I got interested. And over the last, I don't know, three years, three years, maybe four, three, four years, I've really got into it.

I've read quite a few books on the subject, and watch lots of videos and listen to a lot of audios on Audible, specifically. Now, the people that I've listened to is and he's on, he's one of the main people on the on the secret video. He's called Bob Proctor.

Now, at the time, I didn't know who he was, I had no idea, never heard of him before. And because, you know, I'm going back 2003, no, blimey. I don't know if that's true.

I don't think I'd heard of him before. But the people that I used to listen to back in the late 90s, because I started I got into self help stuff in the late 90s, probably about 1997. At the end of 97, sort of like September, October, November time.

I was listening to self help tapes, self help CDs or whatever. And I quite a quite a good collection. And I was reading self help books as well.

So I was doing a lot of that stuff, trying to sort of work through some internal things and trying to sort of improve myself as a person. Trying to learn how to, you know, deal with life and maybe in different ways and all that stuff. Well, I kept that going.

I've already had a break from listening to that stuff for a couple of years. And then I started again about 2001, 2002 time. Yeah, probably about 2002.

I used to listen to Zig Ziglar and I used to listen to a lot of sales, audios, you know, self help sales, motivational stuff like that, because I was in sales and I wanted to be good or better than I was. I think it helped. It helped with my frame of mind, you know, to be more positive.

And then I guess I kind of didn't, I stopped listening for a couple of years, probably between, probably about 2004, I probably didn't listen to much, maybe a little bit. And then 2005, I started listening to other ones, Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway. And, you know, quite a few different things I used to sort of listen to.

So I guess really I've been listening to them for a long time. Motivational, self help, life changing recordings. And I don't know how much it's helped me, I'll be honest, I don't know.

But then I remember someone saying, this is years, this is about 20 odd years ago, there was a couple of TV, female TV presenters talking to each other on TV. And one of them said, they said, oh, they've been going to the gym for the last 20 years together. They're best friends, and they just happened to be on the same TV show together.

And one of them said, I don't know if it's been any good. I don't know if it's been of use going to the gym three times a week for 20 years, because, you know, look at us. And the other one laughed, he said, yeah, but imagine what we'd look like if we hadn't been going to the gym for 20 years.

So, you know, it might not be, I might not be where I'd like to be, I might not be the person I'd like to be or be Mr. Wonderful or whatever. But imagine what I'd be like if I hadn't. Learned, you know, about positivity and about, you know, the psychology, positive psychology, and, you know, all those kinds of things and about the way we think and learn about myself.

So, yeah, maybe I'm hoping it has helped. There's no way of knowing is there, you can't kind of go, look at a parallel universe of yourself. That's me without having done that.

Because to be fair, if I was going to do that, I want to look at a version of me where other things didn't happen and see how I am, you know, that would be more interesting for me. So, you know, what would it be like if I go to if I went to Thailand and I didn't have my rib broken? What would happen for the next two weeks instead of coming home early? You know, I could have fallen in love and got married. Who knows? Who knows? I wouldn't have done that because I couldn't afford it.

But you know what I mean? You know what I mean? So, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, I started watching Bob Proctor's YouTube videos. There's a lot of his stuff on there. And he was still alive.

He just passed away very recently, like this year. And I used to watch him. He did live streams and everything.

Just literally days before he passed away. Or weeks before, you know, so he was still around. I think he was nearly 80, I think.

I think he was, yeah, late 70s, 80s, something like that. And he lived, he basically, he was all about this stuff, the law of attraction. That was his biggest thing, you know.

But it wasn't to do with The Secret. In fact, he's been teaching it for 50 years. So the person that did The Secret, the movie, and write the book, got a lot, would have got a lot of her information probably from him.

You know, from watching him and listening to his audio books and reading his books. And I think Bob Proctor was, at the time, was the first person to really explain it in a way that I understood. Like really understood it.

Like, okay, because it explained it in different ways, lots of different ways. So, you know, you'd listen to, I'd listen to maybe 20 hours of him talking. And he'd describe it in maybe 30 different ways.

So it goes in, you know, it's just like, it's just very, it's very good. He seemed to be angry sometimes though. Like when he, he wasn't really as softly spoken, like, hey, you know, he seemed to be shouting at the audience sometimes.

Because I've listened, I listen to his audios still. I've listened to all of his audio books. And his, you know, his concerts or whatever.

And sometimes it wakes me up because he's shouting. And then I came across the, well, the book that he has been carrying around his whole life, for 50 years, Bob Proctor brings it out on every video, every interview, TV interview that he did, was Think and Grow Rich. And it's not about money.

It's much more than that, by Napoleon Hill. So then I've got that book, read that book, listened to audio books of that book, you know, so the different versions. And so I kind of, I followed the lineage, if you know what I mean.

And then I found, I actually watched and listened to Napoleon Hill himself. So video footage of him, as well as audio footage of him. I didn't find him hugely easy to listen to.

What he was saying was good, but I just like his tone of voice. And it's very, I don't know, it's very, I don't know how to explain it. But yeah, I didn't kind of warm, warm to his type of public speaking process.

It almost felt a little bit false, in a sense, but I think that was, it was like an act. Because there's one video where he's sitting at a desk, and he's talking to the audience and says, Oh, come on, sit down, make yourself comfortable. But there's no one there.

And it's almost like he's pretending to talk to a person, like he's actually there. And it seemed a bit, I don't know. I don't know.

I think I was spoiled. Because I came across another person very huge in the law of attraction field. And he's, I'd probably say the biggest, there's like three huge people in that field, Bob Proctor.

Then you got Napoleon Hill that kind of started it. He didn't start it, but he really, really kind of got the ball rolling with this back in, I don't know, 70 years ago or something. And how he did it is he spent, I think, 20 years interviewing the top people in the world, the top business people, the top of their game, to find out what was the, what was the secret that they had? What was the things that they did that they kind of maybe all did? The things that would be kind of like the secrets of success, I guess.

So at the time, Rockefeller was alive and Ford, and you know, all those people that are long gone, he interviewed them, and he travelled around the world for 20 years doing that. And at the end of it, he wrote a book, which became a huge multi-million seller, you know, one of the biggest selling books of all time, actually, I think. So, and then Bob Proctor came along, but before Bob Proctor, I don't know about before Bob Proctor, but there was a man called, oh my God, Earl Nightingale, that's it, Earl Nightingale.

Now, I'd never heard of Earl Nightingale, but then the name rang a bell, like Nightingale. And then I realised that all those, a lot of the books and the audios I was listening to in the late 90s and the early 2000s was Nightingale Conant, or Conant Nightingale, which was his company with a man called Conant, C-O-N-A-N-T, yeah. So, and he used to work with Napoleon Hill, I think, yeah, he used to work with Napoleon Hill.

And he had this, he started his own company and he basically, he made a record called The Strangest Secret. And this was in, I think, the 50s. So it's a long time before The Secret, you know, video came out.

You know, this is way before that time. And it was, I think it sold a million copies, it won an award in America because it sold so many. And I've listened to it, it's only, I think, 20 minutes long that I've listened to it.

And that was the first thing I listened to of his. And it kind of blew me away. It's like, wow, this is amazing.

And even though it's old, like really old, older than me, by 20 years, probably. Maybe it was the 60s, 50s, 60s. So it's older, you know, it's like 60, 70 years old.

It's still relevant. Now, you know, some of the language and some of the references were out of date, but it doesn't matter because it makes no difference to the message. Because it's all about how we think and what we think about.

And from then on, I started to listen to everything I could get hold of from Earl Nightingale. And one of the reasons is because his voice is so good. It's very deep.

But he was a radio presenter for like 20 odd years. So he had that really good voice, you know, for radio. And, you know, he studied all this stuff.

And he really sort of, then he decided to sort of write his own books. And I think he didn't write his first book until the, I think the 70s or 80s. So it was a long time before he actually used to release his first book.

But he had the company that released lots of audios and stuff. So yeah, I listened to Earl Nightingale pretty nearly every day at the moment. I have done for quite a while.

I could probably even tell you what he's going to say next in some of the recordings. And some of the recordings last for 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours. You know, they're broken up into like chapters.

So I've got pretty much everything that he's that's available. I listen to that on Audible. It's not an advert for Audible, because they're paying me anything.

But I use Audible every day. Every day. It's good.

I like it a lot. So I'm not quite sure how we got on to talking about the secret. But anyway, what's what is PressReader? PressReader is the best place to read thousands of newspapers and magazines from around the globe.

Subscribers get access to more than 7000 of the world's top publications as soon as they're available on shelves. And we pay publishers fairly for all that content. Your subscription helps support the production of quality journalism, both internationally and locally.

Okay, more pricing, that's what I need. Well, you should tell me the pricing. Why do they always leave the pricing out like it's a secret? You're going to have to know if you're going to sign up, isn't it? Like keeping it a secret.

Right now I want to tell you what the pricing is. But yeah, I need the pricing. I need to know how much it's going to cost me.

Like we're going to hide that right to the end. Make sure you really want it first. You know, some websites that actually they don't won't put the price of the of their product on the website.

You know, contact us if you you know to find out the the investment for this wonderful product. No, no, I've actually I've been in shops. I remember went to a shop in London once.

And I think I was looking at jackets. It was like clothes shop. This is a line, I think in Oxford Street or that kind of area.

And I said, How much is it? How come you got no, you got no price tags on any of these jackets? He said, Which ones you like? I said that one. I said, How much is it? He said, How much do you want to pay? I said, No, that's not how it works. It's not how it works in this country.

This is not how it works. You put a price, we pay the price. That's it.

Hagglers. That's just, that's just backward. That's just like going back in time, isn't it? What's next? Like come in with some some eggs.

Yeah, I've got some eggs. I'd like to give you them. And I quite like that.

That chicken over there. Actually, no, no, I'll take a, I'll take a bit of beef and a tin of beans. So I got these eggs and a cucumber.

So I'll swap them for that. Yeah. No, we don't do that anymore.

That's not a bad way of doing things really, in a way, but the whole like haggling a price. I think I said to him, Yeah, I think a pound. I'd like to pay a pound.

Then you get them and say, Well, no, it's actually it's £250. Okay, so now I know the price. Like, why just put a price? See people like that.

Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy, dodgy all day long. Move away. Keep walking and never look back.

Don't have anything to do with people like that in life ever. They're dodgy. Very, very dodgy.

Trust me, I've known a lot of dodgy people over the years. Still do know a few. I used to be one.

No, not really. I kind of aspired to be a bit of a dodgy, you know, Adele boy. If you know what Adele boy is.

A Derek Trotter. That was only fools and horses are very. And a lot of people like one day I knew Delboy is but a lot of people won't know.

So just explain it's a TV show in the UK. Only fools and horses, one of the most popular sitcoms in television history in the UK. I think it comes up number one quite often in the polls.

I think faulty towers used to come up one or two. The thing is, that's going to change over time because you know, in 20 years time, probably most of the population won't even know who Delboy is. They won't remember only fools and horses or only or faulty towers or.

I guess a lot of people won't even remember things like friends or cheers, you know, because a different generation and they'll probably be voting for a comedy that's on YouTube or, you know, on the online. So things have just changed. Don't matter, I don't care.

Don't matter to me. I don't care. Because even though a lot of those shows have finished and probably will never come back, anything even like that.

At least we've got to enjoy it while it was there, didn't we? Those that enjoyed it and those that haven't seen it, only fools and horses. You can get it on BritBox. It's an app.

An app. Now, I don't know if it's available around the world. I kind of think it might be.

So it's called BritBox. B-R-I-T-B-O-X. And on there is loads of stuff.

It's all English stuff or UK stuff or whatever. From like 40, 50, 60 years ago until now, modern day stuff. There's all loads and loads and loads of television shows and films from BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4. And I don't know about Channel 5, but there's a lot of stuff on there.

And there's a lot of old stuff that you can watch, like sitcoms from the 70s, stuff like that, which is educational, if nothing else. Do you know what I mean? It's like, even if you watch it and you don't think it's funny, like it might be a sitcom and you think, oh, it's still educational because if you watch it, you're seeing how society was back then. You're getting to see how houses were, like the inside of the house.

You know, the insides of these, even though it was made in a, like probably a film studio, it's still going to be of that era, you know, still going to be the fashion of the era, same kind of wallpaper, same kind of furniture. So you get to see how people used to live. You get to see the kind of cars people used to drive.

It's interesting because some of those old shows are set in London and there's not much traffic. Now, London, well, I think everywhere really is a lot of traffic, but you know, you could drive around and it wasn't, not everybody had a car. Admittedly, not everybody has a car now.

I don't have a car. That was really boring, wasn't it? I think I'd have fallen asleep by now. So this is supposed to be the news edition of Let Me Bore You To Sleep, the news edition.

Also, remember that the press services includes a public activity. Registered accounts. Some services only be available if you register an account.

Must be 13 or over. How does a 13 year old pay online? They don't have credit cards. Are they allowed debit cards at 13? I don't know.

Maybe they are. I never had a debit card. Did you? Did you have a debit card when you were 13? Well, I'm only 14 now.

And yes, I did. Okay. I'm talking to the people that are a little bit older.

But welcome. Thanks for joining in. I didn't have a debt.

I didn't even have a bank account. I don't know. I'm pretty sure I didn't have a bank account until I was about 14, 15, 16.

I don't know. Maybe 16. I don't remember.

I think, because you know, in those days, I'm talking middle 80s. I was, it was 1986 when I started working full time, April 1986. And I'm not, I mean, I'm generalizing here, but pretty much most people just got paid cash.

Now, some people say no, I got paid in the bank. Yeah, I'm saying most people. Maybe there's certain jobs used to pay used to get paid into the bank.

But it wasn't compulsory back then. It was, you know. And yeah, I don't think I got paid into the bank until I can't even remember.

2000s? 2001? Yeah, I had jobs where I used to get paid a check. So that kind of happened later on. But before that, it was just like a little brown envelope, like a little envelope with some cash.

And the amount of money I was earning did not involve needing a big envelope. I think the most I ever earned during those periods, actually, is when I was in a bakery, worked in a bakery in 1991. And I did, I worked 100 hours, 100 hours that week in one week.

And I took home, so I was taxed, you know, for that. I took home £250. So that was the most I'd ever earned in a week.

This was the most I ever worked in a week. And back in 1991, I suppose to give you an idea of £250, my rent was £40 for the week. But that was just for a room.

So for a flat, I probably could have got a flat for £80 a week, maybe £70, maybe £100, you know, but it was, you know, it wouldn't be that much. So it was pretty good. I mean, nowadays, £250 isn't even minimum wage now, I don't think.

But back then, for me, up to that point, I'd never really earned much more than about £5,000 a year, maybe £7,000, £8,000, you know, so to earn the equivalent of, I don't know, is that £15,000 a year? £250? That was take home. So yeah, before the tax, it was probably over £300, which that's £15,000 a year. But I think the minimum wage in the UK of England is, I think it's about £17,000 a year now.

Yeah, I think so. So I'm just looking, single issue purchases. Press Reader allows you to purchase single issues of the publication you love, which we call a single issue purchase.

Okay, really original, we know. Wow, they're quite sarcastic, you will have sarcastic, you will have access to single issue purchase that you've downloaded and to delete it from your device. It's yours forever and ever.

I'll just get an idea what's going on in the world and I would sort of discuss it, just talk about it, you know what I mean, just have a little look, a little gander.

MasterChef John, I'm a werewolf. Okay, so that's the headline of one. What? So I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what you think.

So if I sign up, start seven day free trial. Yeah, if I do it with Facebook. Do it with Facebook.

Continuous Jason. Okay, let's see if that works. Should be okay.

No. Oh, it is. It is.

Now they want me to put my card number in. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do that.

Don't want to do that. Let me see if I can do it on my phone because it might be cheaper on my phone and I'll be able to log in. Where's my phone? Okay, let's have a look.

It's raining men. Hallelujah. It's raining men.

Amen. I realise as far as the first newspaper review goes, this isn't probably great as I haven't talked about the newspapers. I'm 51 minutes in.

That's kind of how things work though. It's kind of how things work. And I'm not pleased with myself.

I'm not. But this is generally how things work with me. It's, it's a strange one.

I can't, I just can't really explain. I can't really explain what's happening. It's just, it's a strange one.

For moi. Groceries. As the groceries.

Give me £2.30 back. That's nice. How lovely of them.

Ah, Amazon cards. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Wow. That's got to say it's my bank statement.

I've got to stop looking at that. Got to stop looking at that. Oh, eBay.

Okay, right. So here we go. Here we go.

Here we go. Apps on the phone. What's it called again? Oh, I've lost it.

It's gone. Completely gone. That's weird.

How strange. Press reader. It just disappeared from my laptop.

I think they didn't like the idea that I wasn't. Oh, wait a minute. Go back.

Free trial. See details. Maybe later.

Okay. Again on the, on the laptop, on the phone. Free trial for seven days, then £27.49. Cancel any time.

Yeah. I don't know. I just don't understand why it's £5 more than it is on the actual website.

That doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't make sense to me. It might make sense to you.

It doesn't make sense to me. And I don't know why. Why is it a different price? More.

£5 more. Seven day trial. £22.

Okay, I'll have to check. I want to check this. Why is press reader more? That's really weird.

If I put why is press, you know, when you go to Google and you put in start typing in, and then a sentence comes up, doesn't it? And you can just go with that. And predictive text and all that. And that's usually like a popular search that people have done on on Google.

The first thing that came up when I put is why is press reader and not working is the two words that came up. So that's a bit of a worrying one. And why is press, I was going to put why is press reader more expensive on app than website? Let's see how much does in the news? I'm glad you asked the price.

Because they're going about hotels. Okay, so that's where they get a lot of their businesses hotels. So you can log in and read the newspapers on your iPad or tablet or wherever.

Okay, got ya. Got ya. Press reader subscription.

Give us a gift. Free get your news directly to the audience. Subscribe.

There's quite a few different ones, you know, newspapers.com. Newsreader, press reader, press reader. Subscribe seven days. Is this seven day free trial and then 2999 US dollars.

Now this isn't in US dollars or is it maybe this that's what it is. It's in US dollars. No, it's pound 2749 a pound a month.

So it's not not US dollars. It's UK pounds. Because that would make more sense if it was like 27 or 28 dollars and then 24 pounds.

That might I don't know if that would work out right. Coffee's cold now. It's all cold.

Don't know what to do. It's cold now. How much does press reader cost in the UK? Here we go.

It now has more than 7000 newspapers and magazines titles across 120 countries. To be fair, most of those countries are not even going to be valid because they're going to be in other languages that I can't read. So I don't kind of need that.

What does it cost unless unless they translate? What does it cost? This is from 2020. Press reader selects offers access to to pick a pick of 15 titles from 999. No, it's not good.

Is press reader any good? Absolutely excellent and available free it says. Absolutely excellent and free through my local library service allows me to read on my Kindle newspapers and magazines from the on my Kindle newspapers and magazines from the UK and countries over the world. Includes all main local and national newspapers.

It's press reader no longer free is the Sunday Times on press reader. In addition, current issues of many papers, including most UK ones are available as they are published in full image form. This includes the Times and Sunday Times, which are not available on our new e-news.

e-newspaper service press reader. What? e-newspaper service press. That doesn't even make sense.

Is in addition current. So the Sunday, let's have a look at on here. So I'm trying to stick in a microphone Sunday Times says Monday, Tuesday, Monday and then July Sunday Times, the Herald.

You know what? Now I'm going to do seal payment options. Subscribe like I can buy it by the paper for £1.79. It costs 80 pence in the shop. Why am I going to pay £1.79 to read it online? It should be cheaper online than.

In a shop, shouldn't it? All the printing that goes into it, all they've done is basically just photocopy it. I know it's a bit more than photocopying, but they just got the images and the images were initially on a screen anyway before it went to the printers and just printed. So why would it be more money? But I guess 2749, what does that work out a month? Well, it works out 2749 a month.

Yeah, I know that. I mean, you know what I mean. No, but I know you said how much is it a month and I've answered you.

I'm talking about how much is it a day? 2749 divided by 365 equals 10,033 pounds, 85 pence a day. All right, that's a bit more than I can really afford. Let's see if I've done that right.

£27.49 times by 12 divided by 365. So it's 90 pence a day. So you know, one newspaper, one, one, one, one newspaper, not just one newspaper, 80 pence.

But for an extra 10 pence, you get to read all the other newspapers. I might subscribe just for GoPremium, try for seven days, subscribe. One week free.

What am I doing? Yeah, done it. I'll try it for a week. Try it for a week.

And you say, well, yeah, but you just sign up for the £27 one, so the £24 one. Well, I can just cancel it and sign up again. I've got more than one email address, so it doesn't matter.

It don't matter. In fact, I could sign up with that one as well for a month or for a week. Enjoy full access to the world's best newspapers and magazines.

Read, not now. Yeah, why not? I'll read it. So the Daily Mail, Mordaunt's number 10 bid hits buffers.

So this is page two, three, four. To open text view, press and hold from menu. To what? Text view.

Oh, OK. It's take a little bit of while to thing, but it has even more content and rewards. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get rid of the laptop.

Hear that click? That's from the laptop. If I unplug the iPad, so it shouldn't let off any sort of electrical charge. Woman locked in sports direct.

Love triangle. Oh dear. Oh, what newspaper is this? The Daily Mail.

Yeah, yeah. The Daily Misery. The Daily Negativity.

I don't think I'm going to find much in the way of happy stories. Why can't the Met Office just tell us the weather instead of spreading alarm and scolding us with doom laden lectures? I like him. Stephen Robinson.

Yeah, exactly. OK, so which is weird because that kind of goes against the paper because they love all that stuff. But I'm in agreement with him on that one.

Just tell us whatever is going to be. Don't give your opinion on it. Don't try to scare everyone.

It's just news. I grew up in the 70s. I mean, technically, I never really grew up, but, you know, I'm still a child.

But, you know, technically, I grew up in the 70s. We had good summers back then. Very hot summers.

There's been some really hot summers in the 90s, 2000. You know, we always have nice weather in the summer period. Sometimes it seems to last longer and it's a bit hotter than other years.

I don't think we really need to make such a huge deal about it. I mean, of course, we need to be a bit careful in the sun. I do because I've got I've got skin that doesn't really fit in with with sun.

I have to be careful. But it's not a big deal, man. It's just another day and break.

Oh, dear God. Right. I pretty much stop using your hosepipe.

The toys that fun forgot. So it's going to be quite difficult to find. I might actually have to look through the newspapers before I even start the recording, because I've just gone through the whole of that newspaper and there's nothing, nothing that I can really read.

If you know, I mean, there's nothing, nothing. I don't I know that newspapers are not going to be full of happy, funny stories. Okay.

I'm aware of that. I'm you know, I'm I realise that. But I remember because I used I don't really use I don't read the newspapers anymore.

I used to. I will be now because I'll be doing this once a day. But I remember the newspapers having funny stories.

Yeah, it was like serious stuff. You know, but then there's always like a couple of funny stories that made me giggle. And that's the kind of things I'm looking for.

Now, if I can't find that stuff, then I'm just gonna have to make fun of the serious stuff. So we'll see. We'll see what I can come up with.

See what I can find that's just I'd like to just be able to tell you some stories that make you smile. That'd be nice, you know, and not just from England, from all around the world. So every day, I'll just have a look, make it a few notes.

So maybe that's what I'll do. Oh. But then because it's a boring, let me boy the sleep recording.

I guess I don't want it to be too interesting. I could I don't know, maybe let me know what what you think because this is a like a new thing. It's a new, new, new, new, new, new Newland thing that I'm doing.

And it's also cost me money because I'm investing in the app. Oh, man, everything costs money. So and there's also magazines and stuff like that.

So if this is something that you're if you'd like me to prepare beforehand or you're happy for me to just turn the microphone on and look through the. App and just go through the papers one by one until I find something that I can read to help. Then we can do that.

I'm happy either way. I prefer that way, you know, in a way, because then you get my initial reaction, my initial response, rather than anything that I've kind of prepared. And I'm not I'm not big on preparation.

I like things to just be natural and flow in the moment rather than. I don't want to be reading off a script, you know, I mean, I don't want to be. Otherwise, I was going to sort of be sitting here rehearsing before turning the microphone on and that just defeats the object of what I'm doing is I won't enjoy it, then it'd be boring for me.

It's OK for it to be boring for you, but not for me, because it's supposed to be boring for you. But it has to be mildly interesting for me in order for me to do it, if that makes any sense. I'm not sure if it does, though.

I don't know if it does, but I'm saying if it does, but it doesn't. OK, well, let's move on then. Go go listen something else.

I don't want to. Well, don't complain, then. I didn't complain.

I'm just saying. All right. OK.

I know I have to interrupt me. I mean, why do you always have to? I didn't work today. I can't.

I tried to do two voices at the same time. No, it didn't work. Thanks.

Oh. OK, let's have a look. The Daily Star.

And you thought you were having a tough day. Wow. So that's something I don't really get.

I got a picture of the. Do you know Buckingham Palace and the blokes with the microphone heads, the microphone heads, you know, the guards with the red jackets holding the rifles. And.

They're just why make them stand out in that heat because they're so wrapped up, it's. It's just like no point is there. Why don't you just stick a little statue out there? No one's going to know.

Put a little doll out there. No one's going to know if it's a real person or not. A little Madame Tussauds.

Borrow one from Madame Tussauds. It's only up the road. So if I click on their order opening.

Britain. So I click. You thought you were having a. OK, it's just talking about the heat.

Oh, yeah, I talked about page three not being around anymore. Well, to me, like they kind of is still a page three girl, but not. With clothes on.

There's a female model with skimpy clothes on. I just I didn't think they did it anymore. I didn't think they had.

Because, you know, I haven't really read these newspapers for a long time. OK, right. Rocky.

That's interesting. I want to read that. So Rocky Stallone.

I've been hit below the belt. Sylvester Stallone's demanded that the producer of Rocky hand over the rights to the hit film franchise. So he's 76.

He's 76 now, Sylvester Stallone. And he says that the rights are controlled by Ervin Winkler. Is Ervin Winkler related to the Fonzie? Anyone know? Does anyone know the answer to that? He said this is a painful subject that eats at my soul because I want to release something of Rocky for my children.

So basically, he doesn't have much in the way of say over the franchise, even though he pretty much wrote and he starred in all of the films. But. I need to find out is Ervin Winkler.

Be careful how quickly I say that word Winkler. Ervin Winkler. The Fonzie.

Henry Winkler. Is list of Henry Winkler. Are Harry.

What? Henry Winkler and Ervin Winkler. Ervin Winkler. Ervin Winkler and Henry Winkler.

Ervin is only. Charles and David are both film producers and directors in their own. They run the company Winkler Films.

Winkler. Children. No, got nothing to do.

Are Charles and Ervin related to Henry Winkler? It's not given any information. Why weren't it? Why? It doesn't. This is.

I'm just trying to find. Sorry, but I realise this isn't perhaps very interesting, which is good, but you might not be wanting to know this, but I do. I'll be honest.

There's nothing more important in my life right now. Except knowing the answer to this question. I'm serious.

This is the most important thing to me in this moment. I need to know. Right.

Henry Winkler and Ervin Winkler are not related. Henry Winkler is an American actor and comedian, best known for Happy Days, Barry and Arrested Development. I didn't know he was in that.

I didn't know he was in Happy Days. He was born in New York in 1945. Ervin Winkler is an American film producer and director, best known for Rocky and Goodfellas.

He was also born in New York in 1931. So here's some other answers. Someone's put no.

Someone's put yes. Two, three comments. Another person's put maybe.

Oh dear. I see two more comments. Maybe, maybe not.

It was a waste of time. I apologize to everybody for what just happened. Where's the app gone? I've lost the app.

What was it called? Reader, press reader. Is that it? Information reading, press reader. No, that's translate.

Go away. Not now. I've lost the link to the app.

It didn't, why didn't it save it? I don't understand. I'm really whining. I've got a very whiny voice.

I don't understand. How strange. It's disappeared.

I've lost the link to the app. It's actually not here. How could it not be here? It's an app.

It's kind of got to be, hasn't it? It has to be on the iPad. It's an app. Press, press, press, press, press.

Oh, there it is. Got it. Okay.

So, oh, did you see that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez got married? Yeah. It's, um, apparently they, they got rid of, and they split up, didn't they? Back in blimey early 2000s or something. And now they're back.

I think the big thing is like 17 years after they split up, they're now married. And it's got to be strange because she was the star of the two of them. She was the biggest star, you know, actress and, um, you know, singer.

She was a big singer, wasn't she at the time. Now, and he was, he was still a star. He was still known, but she was kind of the biggest star between the two of them.

Now he's the biggest star. You know, he's Batman, isn't he? Well, he was Batman a couple of months back before the vampire took over. I never understood that.

I watched a new Batman film. Why doesn't he use his powers? He does all that stuff. Why doesn't he just turn into a bat and fly away? He literally, he can do that.

He literally is a Batman. He's a vampire, isn't he? He can turn into a bat at any time. I never understood it.

Um, so yeah, good luck to them too. They're going to start banning heading. You know, kids heading balls in football, they're going to stop that.

Apparently they want to put a ban on that in school. Billy's on song. What's that? Billy, not Billy Piper, Billy Eilish.

She's barely come off tour and Billy Eilish is already back in the studio. Okay. She's, uh, well that's it.

Her brother's called Phineas O'Connell. So is she, is her name not Eilish then? Is her name O'Connell? They're working on a follow-up to last year's Happier Than Ever. Oh, cool.

I like Billy. Um, what other things there? So Neighbours star Carly Minogue had a rival for the role of Charlene Mitchell. Apparently Annie Jones was up for the part as the love interest for Jason Donovan on the Aussie soap.

But she ended up being, um, cast as Plain Jane, which she was nothing but, she was nothing anywhere, nothing plain about her. It was really weird. I don't know if you ever saw that, the episode, um, it was just so silly.

This is like 30 odd years ago. So Plain Jane, that's what they called her, because she had glasses and straight hair, you know, plain. So what they did is they made a makeover and, uh, I think it might have been Carly Minogue took her, I think she might have had a date or she really liked someone and she, you know, basically came down and she looked fantastic.

Fantastic. Oh yes. And she just basically took her glasses off.

That was it. It was like a, almost like a Superman situation. Took her glasses off, shook her hair around and suddenly she had massive boobs and, uh, was a sex goddess.

Well, the fact is she looked like that anyway, she just had glasses on and I don't know, I think, I kind of think that they filmed her, that they put extra large clothes on her and stuff to hide what was, you know what I mean, so they could unveil, uh, like this new person, but it was her all along. I could tell. Because she had the same face.

Plain Jane became a superstar. Weird. I remember that.

I remember. Yes, I do. Yes, I do.

191 million has, Lotto has got to go. Save Bigfoot. Author wants lord to help find beast.

You don't want fries with that. Two pound extra. Here's one.

This is a nice gentle story. A posh pub well sparked a bun fight when its menu said customers must pay two pound to remove ingredients from its burger. What? This bit I don't get.

They were charging £21.50 for the George burger at the George Hotel and Beach Club. Who pays £21.50 for a burger and chips or burger and fried £21.50. I mean, unless it's got a mouth, you know, I mean, why would you, why would you pay £21.50 for a burger? Unless you could rub it and it like transported you somewhere. You know, it had some magical powers.

You ate it and it made you slim. But the menu said any, so any removal of it or addition of an ingredient £2. He says what? But then it then they're taking it literally.

So it's probably £2. But they're now saying £2 for each bit of ingredient. So now they just decided it means punters who opted for a plain burger and bun with the rest taken out could be charged £35.50. And I did it.

Why? Why? Why would anyone pay £21.50? For those in America, that's about $30. $30 for a burger and fries $30. Now I don't know what it costs in McDonald's.

Admittedly, this is a lot more fancier than what you get in McDonald's. And from the looks of it, it's got all types of meat and stuff. But at the same time, it's going to be messy eating.

So you couldn't go in there and have that on a first date or with someone that you wanted to impress. Because it's going to go all over you, you know, it's going to drip all down your top. And you can only really do that when you're in a relationship with someone and you don't care what they think anymore.

Mike's sound knowledge read all about new music show. Nope. Harper big tick with Vic.

Who's that Harper Beckham? I didn't even know there was someone called Harper Beckham. She's 11. Okay, so this is the Beckham's daughter.

Harper Beckham is following in her mum's footsteps. So Victoria 48, she had a mirror selfie. And the 11 year old had taken alongside her.

She said, I don't know where she gets it from. With a laughing and thinking emoji. So I guess I don't know where she gets it from.

One fan replied, like mother like daughter. What was the point? This took up probably nearly half of the Yeah, about half of the page on page 23 took up just that. So the picture of the 11 year old and there's a little picture of a mom.

I'm not sure which is the 11 year old and which is a mom. But Woody saw the light when grandpa called. What? Monkey in? Yeah, I don't know.

Louie's TV mimics just leave me cold. Thoreau, Thoreau, Louie Thoreau. Bad impression.

So Louie Thoreau has been known to wind up the people isn't in there. Louie hates it when anyone does impersonations. Because he claims he does not relate to the voice he hears.

The British American said I can never hear an impersonation and hear me. I thought Alastair Mayes, McGovern, whatever his name is, was very nasal. Carrying a Novak phone jacket has latched on to a line.

Are you okay? When have I said that? I suppose we've all said are you okay at some point, haven't we? It's not. Oh, this is interesting. Oh, they've posted pictures of Prince Harry, but they've blocked out his eyes for some reason.

I wonder why that is? Yeah, strange. Right, do you want to know what's on telly today in the UK of England? You don't want to know. Do you want to know? I can tell you if you do.

You don't want to know, do you? Do you? Do you want to know? I can tell you. Honestly, I don't mind. I'm just looking for the sport.

See if there's anything interesting in sport. Slabhead versus Slaphead. Clash of Old Trafford Hardnats.

No, I can't see anything in the sports that interest me. There's no boxing. Tom tipped to be way too clever for Curtis.

So this is MMA or UFC. So I'm not, yeah, UFC. So I'm not bothered about that.

Bionic Trumper. Oh, Trimmer. I got excited then.

Which family? So who wants to see what's on the telly? Okay, here we go. Here we go. So what's the time now? It is 13.33 in the afternoon.

So the time BBC One at the moment is 13.33. Impossible. Actually, that's the regional news and weather on BBC One. BBC Two.

It's the Super League show. The latest fixtures featuring Wigan Warriors. ITV.

ITV news and weather. Channel four right now. It's the great house giveaway.

Two strangers are given the opportunity to buy a property in Wigan. Channel five right now. This home and away Leah and Justin's food continues.

Neighbours is on after that. So when does Neighbours finish? Because it's coming to an end soon, I think. So ITV2.

Alan Carr's epic game show is on. Dave. TV station Dave.

Border Force. A Border Force. America's Gatekeepers.

Drama. That's Freeview Channel 20. Classic EastEnders.

Then E4, which is Freeview 13. The Big Bang Theory four episodes. Morpho, which is Freeview 18.

Hire Hunters. And that is. Oh, wait a minute.

No, there are other things as well. That's that's that. But then there's... Entertainment and Factual.

So BBC Three. The big proud party agency. That's Freeview 23.

BBC Four. Great American Railroad Journeys. Five USA.

Law and Order. ITV3. Heartbeat.

ITV4. Tour de France. Highlights.

This is so boring. Every single channel. Oh, really? Oh, what? Really? Really? That's the next channel.

Freeview number 17. A Place in the Sun. Sky Arts.

Freeview 11 is Tales of the Unexpected. And then you've got. Oh, that's strange.

Oh, that continues. OK, so gold is Skymax. Dinner Ladies.

Yesterday. Oh, my troubles seem so far away. Now it seems that they're here to stay.

Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. And there's Great Continental Railway Journeys. Alibi.

Alibi. Father Brown. Skymax is Hawaii Five-0.

Sky Atlantic. Boardwalk Empire. Sky Witness.

Blue Bloods. And Sky Comedy. Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I like Sky Comedy. Oh, I watched that, actually. What's that from? 1245 to 245.

What is it now? One, two. Oh, OK. Discovery.

Gold Rush. National Geographic. Secrets of the Pyramids.

And after that, Nazi megastructures. Oh, dear. Movies.

Oh, film four. You've got The Red Pony is on at the moment. And Sky Cinema Premiere.

Resident Evil. Welcome to Raccoon City. I know.

Spider-Man No Way Home's on at the moment and finishes at 150. Sky Cinema Drama. Nothing on, doesn't start till six.

Same as Sky Cinema Family. TCM is saying great. OK, so nothing's on them.

Sports. Sky Sports Main Event. At the moment, One Day International Cricket.

Sky Sports Cricket. One Day International. The same.

Sky Sports Football. I guess it's going to be football. EFL.

BT Sports 1. FIM Junior GP Championships. BT Sports 2. Galaga Premiership Rugby highlights. Eurosports 1. Cycling Tour de France.

And I do. Best of the rest. Live Sport.

Trophy Tour Golf. Sky Sports Gold. No, Sky Sports Golf.

None of that really grabbed me, if I'm honest. If I'm honest. Honest.

None of it grabbed me. Maybe, I don't know. Let's have a look at my star signs.

So I'll read the star signs out. This is from, in fact, what I might do, I might have a different section for the star signs. It says, I'll read mine out.

I'm a Virgo. It says here, you're starting to question whether you are in the right job. You can't afford to continue in work that doesn't pay when everyday expenses are rising.

Even if you love the work, you need to earn more, making this a difficult choice. Wow. Wow.

Blimey. That's weird because it is costing me more to run this service, this free stuff I do. And I'm trying to, you know, trying to just keep everything free.

Even took the ads off and everything. But every month the expenses are going up. Blimey, that's weird.

But, there you go. My goodness. How do I get out of this though? That's the thing.

So I want to get out, but how do I get out of the thingamajig? Thingamajig. And right. So go to the daily.

Bookmarks, hotspot map, settings. I was looking at what? Thor, love and thunder. So I'm looking forward, I want to watch that.

But I don't know because, you know, Disney and now make the films. Disney make the, they're the ones that make the Marvel. They bought Marvel.

So some of the Marvel films have gone straight on to the Disney plus app. Or quite soon after being in the cinema. I'm hoping Thor does as well because I'm not going to the cinema.

I'm staying here. I watch it here on my telly. But, you know, I just don't know if it's going to be, if I have to wait for ages because the, what's his name? Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange. That was me, by the way, doing that. And making noise for no reason.

The Doctor Strange movie. Multiverse, whatever it's called. That came out on the, on Disney plus.

And I was really pleased about that. In fact, I probably need to watch it again because I've watched it once and I probably could probably enjoy it if I watched it again. Got another look at it.

Another little look. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yeah. Yes.

Yes. So I might do that. Yeah, I might revisit a couple of the old Marvel films.

Have a little, maybe a little bit of a Marvel, a Marvel day or two, you know, just watch a few movies. I do love, I love superhero films. I always have, right from, because I was, so I've been quite lucky, you know, I think my age, I've been quite lucky because I was, what was what, eight, seven or eight when Superman came out.

The first Superman, but you know, the big, big film. Let me just check. When did it come out? Superman movie.

1978. And then 1980, Superman 2 came out. So I remember going to see Superman 2 with my brother, my oldest brother.

And this is weird. I had a dream. So I must have seen the advert for the movie loads of times.

So I was dreaming about the movie. I was so excited to go and watch it. But I was too young.

I was like nine years old. So I was too young to go on my own. And my oldest brother took me and he was like, oh, this is brilliant.

Now, I must, I don't know how I got to see the first film. I must, I mean, in 1978, I was probably like seven when it came out. I don't remember if I saw it at the cinema or not, or if I saw it on the telly.

But back then, films didn't come out on the telly for about seven years, six or seven years after they'd been in the cinema. Took ages, honestly, took a long time to come out. And then, you know, like about 80, 1980 time, the video started, became popular in video shops.

So they'd release them on video. So that would be like the half mark. So the video would be the movie would be in a cinema.

And then maybe six months, perhaps a year later, they'd come out on video. This is just me guessing from my memory. And then, and once the videos came out, they came on television quicker than they used to, for some reason.

So it's, I don't remember. And then Superman 3 was 1983. And Superman 4 was 1987.

Okay. Superman 4 was actually Christopher Reeve, I think he wrote and produced that one. And didn't he have, didn't he go against Thor in that? Was Thor? I don't know.

Superman. Superman. I'm pretty sure Thor was in.

Superman versus Thor, Clash of the Gods, new epic fan trailer. No, that's no good. Who wins, Superman or Thor? I don't know.

I always like got a little bit of an issue with the whole Superman thing, because I don't want to spoil the movie for you. But the one Justice League, I think, yeah. And Superman with this blimey, Cyborg, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash.

All four of them were no match for Superman. And that just seems a bit of a shame. You know, it's like they couldn't, he was stronger, faster and everything than all of them combined.

And I just thought, oh, I don't know why it just didn't seem right, somehow. I didn't like that. I don't want it to be like that.

I want it to be different. I want it to be different. It's like, well, if he really is, he does all this stuff in his movies, and he's like punching them.

And then he zaps them with his eyes. And why didn't he do that to start with? Why did he have a punch up when all he had to do is just look at them and, you know, rail them with his eyes, with lasers? Why did he go for all that big, forcuffle, forfuffle, muffle stuff? No one's got an answer for me on that one, I don't think. And then he's fighting Wonder Woman when he could have just zapped her head in bits, but he didn't.

So I guess maybe he just doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. I don't know.

This seems a bit weird. If he really is this, like, the top one. It's an uneven fight, isn't it? And there's questions on here, who would win between Thor and Superman? Well, Superman's stronger, isn't he? Is he like, I don't think Thor could hold a plane, you know, to stop a plane from crashing.

You know, it's like, it seems nothing's too heavy for Superman. Superman's fast, as fast or if not faster than the Flash, who's supposed to be the fastest person in the world. Who's the other fast one? I forget.

Yeah, there's another one, isn't there? But it's a Flash, so just like, okay. If one's above everything, like the Hulk, Superman versus the Hulk, like, that's another thing that, again, I don't want to spoil it, but the film's been out for quite a while. So I will mention a part of it, where the, I think it's, it's not Endgame, it's the other one before that.

And the Hulk has a fight with the baddie, the big baddie man, and the baddie man just basically just chucks him around, tosses him around like a doll. Well, he's supposed to, Hulk's supposed to be like the strongest creature, you know what I mean, in the world, like in history or whatever. And he's just, I mean, he got beaten and knocked out by Iron Man, you know, and he brought his big Iron Man costume, Dalek robot thing from space and just punched, punched the Hulk.

Again, that's just like, no, that's just no. And Thor beat up Hulk in one of the Thor movies, they fought each other and he beat Hulk up. It's like, come on.

That was funny though, that was funny. There's one bit, this is one of, it's probably the thing that made me laugh the most out of all of the superhero films, is when Loki, the Hulk, this is like one of the first films where they're all together, you know, the Hulk and Iron Man and all that stuff. And the Hulk grabs Loki and just grabs him by the legs and smashes him against the floor a few times.

And Loki's in the audience while the Hulk and Thor are fighting. And the Hulk does it to Thor. And Loki's going, yeah, that was quite funny.

But when I saw him do it to Loki, that just made me laugh so much. It's hilarious, just seeing it. I don't know why, it's just a really funny bit.

Made me laugh, really did. I laughed so much, couldn't stop. I'm still laughing now.

Ragnarok. Can Thor, who would win? Okay, when it comes to breakdown of superpowers, Thor tends to get the win. Not sure why.

Yes, Superman has slightly superior strength. Yes, he can freeze people, fly and shoot blasts of energy from his eyes. But Thor can summon the power of lightning and has superb fighting skills and the use of weapons.

But what the point is, what's the use of a weapon if the person is impenetrable? You can't pierce his skin, you can't do anything. So, I don't know. See, on Quora, if you've never, this is something worth looking at.

If you really want to have a bit of a giggle and maybe learn some stuff at the same time, go on Quora. That's q-u-o-r-a.com. So this has got a question on there. It's basically people ask questions and other people answer.

Sometimes they'll answer really seriously. You know, you get information, correct information. And then other people just argue and write down complete nonsense.

So it's kind of, it's kind of funny sometimes. So who would win in a fight between Thor and Superman? Nathan Pryne says, it really amazes me, originally answer the question, it really amazes me that many people still think that Thor has an advantage over Superman because Thor has more experience in combat. I almost, I almost think that this is a joke in bad taste.

If Superman really had a disadvantage in combat against someone who has more experience than him, then Superman would always be dominated since more than 99% of Superman's enemies have more experience than him in combat and war. But let's review the history a bit to clean up the misconceptions that many people have. It's got proper attitude this one.

Orion is a new god and therefore is older than Superman. And there's much more experience than him in combat and war. However, Superman matches him in a fair hand-to-hand fight.

Where is the advantage in combat against Superman? Because he's not, because he's not seen at any time, nor is it mentioned. Mongol is a very strong alien, and he is also more experienced than Superman in hand-to-hand combat. And yet Superman kicks his ass.

Where is Mongols advantage over Superman? Because he is not seen at any time. Wonder Woman is also more experienced than Superman in combat, and yet Superman kicks her beautiful ass. That's a bit, some of the graphic books, magazines are a bit over the top there.

Again, and where is Superman's disadvantage of having no combat experience? I still do not see it. I still do not see it. No, no, no, no, no.

Proper attitude this one. Darkseid is one of the strongest gods in DC, and obviously has much more experience than Superman in combat and in war. And yet an unleashed Superman cleanly defeats Darkseid in a hand-to-hand fight.

He's going on and on and on and on and on and on and on with lots of clips from the comics. Now this person has put a lot of effort into this. Honestly, it's a lot of effort.

Where is the advantage of Superman in the superior combat experience? If Superman really has a disadvantage against someone who has experience more than him, Superman could not win any of those fights or match the enemy. That's when I see a Thor fan saying that Thor has an advantage over Superman because Thor has more experience in combat. If that defines the outcome of a fight, I think it's a joke in bad taste.

Wow. Blimey. That's a that's a lot.

A lot of information. That's a huge, a lot of work put into that. And if you especially if you draw the comics as well, you did all the graphics.

That's years of work. Sebastian Anderson answers. To be honest, it's continue reading.

Thor. Okay. I might get some flack for this, but I may be 100% right.

Hear me out. Okay. Okay.

So we will use current Thor and current Superman. All father Thor and rebirth Superman. Honestly, this is a stomp for Thor.

Thor feats. Okay. Whatever that means.

Thor, without Odin force, lifted the midget serpent who exceeded 105 sextillion tons of force of the Midgard service servant. One armed the weight of 20 planets. He knocked out the Phoenix force.

He staggered Galactus who is imbued with his sister's power. False. I don't know what that means.

Flexes off at adamantium cables. Tanks attack from the celestials who are multiversal. Tanks a supernova to the face.

Reacts to the speed of through wild doggy. I don't understand some of this. Reacts to Hyperion's blitz.

Moves too fast for the silver surfer who has nanosecond reaction and his greatest move, the God blast. Now let me tell you about the God blast. The God blast ties to Thor's life force and he cannot use it too many times.

However, its feats are immense. His God blast could kill Galactus. It defeated an Amped Thanos clone.

Also, you know that that game Exeter, that guy named Exeter, who's one of the most powerful celestials that's ever existed and even cosmic cubes are below them. Thor killed one. Mind that it was an enchanted axe but it's still a good feat.

Thor wins, that's my opinion. Thor wins. Thanks.

That was the end of it. Thanks. Doesn't say anything about Superman, just goes on about Thor.

Blimey. Wait for the prologue. Oh no, Rooster answered.

Blimey. So they're talking about stuff that happened in the comics, not necessarily stuff that happened in, not necessarily in the films. So I guess that's different, isn't it? Eh? That's a little bit different.

Maybe this would be better to do live. Maybe a live recording for three hours a day talking about stuff. Maybe, maybe do that.

And then, but how does that, how will that be possible to do that on the, I don't know. I'm not quite sure how to stream using the Zoom. I can look into it, look into it.

And I guess I could do it, do a live thing on YouTube every day and just talk about the news and talk about stuff. I don't know. Maybe.

I have an open mind. I have an open mind because this is all 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 30. Okay.

So I'm just working something up. So, yeah, I could just play around with it, maybe do something a bit different. I think I'm at a point where I quite like to do some new things.

Not like move all the way away from what I've already done or am currently doing, but to just maybe do some other stuff, you know, some move forward, move, you know, progress maybe, or degress, one of them. So I realize I haven't really focused on all of the news of the world, but I will maybe look into it another time. And as far as getting sidetracked, that is what happens with me.

So if there's something that I don't understand or not sure about, I will Google it, you know, I will research it and look into it, and I might end up spending way too much time focusing on that particular thing. That's just the way it is. I'm sorry everybody, but that's the way it is.

I can't help it. It's the way I am, and it's the way I would always be, I suppose. So I'm gonna go.

Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself. You deserve to be happy.

Be gentle with yourself. Lots of love. Bye.
