#888 Not watching the news - Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland) (15th September 2022)

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland and this is a let me bore you to sleep. Yeah, sleep. Sleep.

Oh, I'm banging into things. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. So this is the second recording today, which is good.

I made a deep sleep whisper hypnosis recording about, well, I just uploaded and finished doing that part of it about half an hour ago or 20 minutes ago. So, um, no, it was longer than that. It's just after four o'clock and I'm sporadically uploading them, the different versions.

And now I'm making this recording whilst at the same time waiting for my grocery delivery, which is a very small delivery, much smaller because five of the items were not available. I'm not quite sure why, but it's okay. Nothing that was too important.

So that'll be coming between now and 6pm. So it might come whilst I'm making a recording, or it might come after I finished. This is a very boring subject, isn't it? Sometimes I just have to stand back in amazement of how boring I naturally am.

So, yeah, that's it really. I've, uh, I managed to find my stamps. I was so determined to find them.

Little book of stamps. I think there were like four in there, but I knew they were there. I knew there was somewhere in this building.

So I really, I figured they were in the drawer because that's the most common sense place for them to be, because that's where I put everything else that I took out of my wallet that I didn't need while I was away. You know, things like library card and, I don't know, just things that I can't use while I'm away. And stamps is one of those things.

So I found all the other stuff, but the stamps seem to be hiding. But eventually I found them and they were in there. It just, it took a case of taking everything out in order to find them.

Not just lifting stuff up and moving it about. That wasn't enough. I had to literally take every piece of paper out and then boom, baby, the stamps were there.

Oh, very happy. Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy. So that was good.

And so I've now posted that letter. So that's done. And what other things? I ordered my prescription because yesterday I had to phone the doctor up because the prescription, the app wasn't working.

It wasn't allowing me to order my prescription, my monthly prescription. But they said, oh, we'll speak to the, I don't know, the pharmacy, a practice pharmacist or something, which I didn't, I've never heard them say that before. Normally it's the doctor.

So, and then they said, try it out later today. This is yesterday. You should be fine.

So I didn't do it yesterday, but I did it this morning and it's all up and running. So I've ordered that stuff. It's probably in there now, but I'll collect them tomorrow.

Usually the, the pharmacy sent me, send me a text message to say that it's ready to collect. So that's the second thing. So I'm getting little bits done that need to be done.

And there's a couple of more things I need to do. I need to book an appointment with a dentist. Um, because I've got, uh, basically I had a filling in my tooth.

There was a cross about three different teeth over years. I've kind of just spread the filling, you know, and, um, it came out during the two years, that two year period when a lot of things were closed. And although I'm not in any pain or anything like that, because if I was, I would definitely have done something about it.

It's yeah, it's a little bit inconvenient and it's the kind of, I guess I need to get it just looked at and sorted out. So I will probably try and figure, get that done before Christmas. So that's one thing to get done.

So there's a couple of things I'm just trying, trying, trying to, to, to, to, to try uh, to get a little bit more organized. And I kind of looking at, it's already done two washes as well. So I've washed my clothing yesterday and done another laundry today.

And we'll do some vacuum in tomorrow. You know, it's just little bits bit by bit. I can get this place how I want it to be.

Um, instead of like just going all out and do lots and lots, because sometimes once I start, I can't stop, but I don't want to do that. I've got other things to do. So I need to, you know, spread out the, the goodness, spread out all the excitement to do all the cleaning of floors and et cetera, bit of tidying up.

As Thursday today, so Friday, Saturday, Saturday morning, well no, Sunday morning, about one, two in the hour in the morning, there's boxing on, which is Canelo versus, um, Golovkin or triple G for the super middleweight unified world champion titles. So I'm going to be watching that. Uh, so, you know, that's something to look forward to.

So I've got that coming on, on Saturday, well, Sunday morning, but it's, you know, two o'clock in the morning or whatever. So that's a couple of days away. Um, I'm aiming at gradually increasing the amount of recordings I make per day.

So I'm determined to make at least one of these recordings every day. Let me bore you to sleep. I mean, it's kind of amongst the easiest ones for me to make because it's just chatting and, you know, technically it's, it's just, you know, it's and you know, that's cool.

The deep sleep whispers, I mean, they're, they're not, it's not like they're difficult to make, but it's finding a quiet space to make those. Because at least with this, with the, let me bore you one, you know, there might be background sound, whether it's me, whether it's an animal. Uh, yesterday was a little bit, maybe a little bit too noisy with the dog, but that's a rarity.

It's, you know, that's unusual for him to be quite as vocal, but there might be something going on in the garden, the neighbor, whatever. I can't really have that when I'm doing the whisper ones. So it's a case of, yeah, it's, it's, it's kind of like a little gamble sometimes when I, when I start to make a recording like that, not knowing if I'm going to be able to have at least 20 minutes without silliness, you know, um, but it's okay.

It's fine. It doesn't really matter. I mean, I don't know why I put too much, too much pressure on myself because there's not, there's sound everywhere, you know, it's never going to be, I'm not working in a recording studio that's all silenced and, um, you know, paying hundreds of pounds an hour in order to be able to produce this stuff.

But then, yeah, maybe there would be quite well, I guess it would be quieter, but it would be very sterile. And I'm not sure how creative I can be in such a sterile environment. At least here, this is, this is my home, you know, the, yeah, this is a recording studio as far as I record in it and I've got equipment and stuff.

But I can also look around and I've got, you know, I mean, I've got whatever I need here and I can, I'm not sort of stuck in a booth and just sort of sitting there staring at a wall. Although I am staring at a wall, I'm not staring at it. I'm looking at it gently.

It just happens to be there. I mean, I can just as easily look at the recording studio. I can look at the iPad or the bottle of water or the big jar of ginger nut biscuits.

So yeah, I'm sure I had a message. I've had a few messages saying thank you very much for the lovely messages that everyone, people have sent me, welcoming me back and all that. It's, yeah, it's nice.

It's nice to know that, it's nice to know that I'm loved. It's nice, you know, it's nice to be wanted, I guess. Yeah.

To be appreciated. So yeah, I'm definitely back and I'm trying to think what else. Just found out that Joe Joyce, the boxer, has bone density or skull density five times more than the average human.

Five times. I mean, that's phenomenal, isn't it? Which explains why he's able to take punches and not go down. But five times.

Wow. Five times. Anyway, yeah, I just, it interests me.

It does. Oh, I'm hearing noise. I'm hearing groceries.

Wow. I just had to go and press pause. Let's have a drink.

The old deliveries just come. So that's good. So all my groceries, well, all the ones that turned up anyway, are there.

And now my chair is moving down on its own. Honestly, I don't understand how that's possible. I don't understand it.

I mean, this is supposed to be a good, a good chair. Good boy. Good doggy.

Good chair. It's, um, I think it's haunted. I have a haunted chair.

So yeah, anyway, so I've got my stuff. I've not put it in the fridge or anything. Just left it in the hallway for now.

That's okay. So what I'll do is I'll do this recording and then I will have something to eat, have a cup of tea with some tea cakes or hot cross buns. That's what I'm going to do.

And there's nothing you can do to stop me. I'm going to do that. Be a nice little, well, I haven't had any tea cakes for absolutely ages.

In fact, I haven't had a cup of tea. I don't think since I've been back. Or have I? Not sure.

You know, when I was away, the one thing that I really, really wanted and couldn't have and was looking forward to when I got back was ready break, having my ready break and a cup of coffee and just chilling out, you know, watching breakfast TV or not, not breakfast TV, but like a sitcom or whatever that's on channel four, because breakfast TV, although sometimes entertaining at the moment, it's really not, you know, it's, it's the same subject all the time at the moment. So I'm not watching the news and there's no, I don't know how they're able to, like, I'm not talking about the subject matter, but they're live filming queues of people queuing up like all day long. That's what they're doing.

They're just filming people queuing. And that's not good television, you know, and it's not really something I want to watch. People queuing.

And there is this, I wonder, you know, when something happens, like a big event happens in the world, whether it's here, whether it's in America, whatever, you got the initial thing, the initial, you know, the bigness of what's happened. And then they really drag and get every little bit of juice out of that orange, you know, like really keep squeezing and squeezing and squeezing it for days and days until there's nothing left. There's the facts, there's the, you know, if it's a serious situation, that's still a serious situation.

But the way they kind of really squeeze everything out of it. And they run out of things to talk about. They really do.

And they repeat themselves. And it's, I just find it hard to watch. It's not, it's, I mean, the initial, yeah, you know, the first couple of hours and, you know, it's all, it's all new, I guess, isn't it? It's all new stuff and people talking from their heart or whatever.

But after a few days, it just gets like, oh, they're running out of things to say. Now, even I would run out of things to say. Hard to believe, but it's true.

Well, I wouldn't, I perhaps I would run out of things to say about that particular subject, because I'd end up talking about other things. You know, I'll be live on telly talking about a book I read in 1983 that had a big monster with a huge tongue instead of a toilet. And I was like, how did you get onto that subject? Don't know.

I'm not sure. I don't know how I get onto any subject. It just happens.

I guess we're just very lucky to have me. So I've not, I've gone on to the news, had a little look and then I get off very quickly. That sounds wrong, doesn't it? I removed myself from the news.

I changed the channel. Yes. Because there's nothing new.

You know, news is supposed to be new. Hence N E W. News stuff. Something that's just happening, not something that's already happened.

Something that's happened. That's not news. And so at the moment, we're, this country's in a bit of a standstill.

And it's kind of a mixture of, well, it's nice to have a break from some of the news that we get here. You know, the day to day, because it's all negative. Every single pretty, pretty much every, the only, actually the only time that there's a news story really that isn't negative is probably during a sporting event like the Olympics.

You know, when they're like telling you, Oh, another person's won the gold and that's kind of stuff. And if there's a sporting event, like when the female football team won the world cup. So that was, you know, it was positive, upbeat.

If one of the royal family have a new baby, that's always seems to be big news on, you know, in the newspapers and on television. And there's not much worldwide stuff that gets a lot of positive things. Maybe like discoveries that can be, I quite like that.

So if there's a cure for a new cure for an illness, something, you know, like that, it's like that excites me. Maybe NASA are launching a new space shuttle or rocket. And, you know, that's kind of upbeat, positive news.

If something's been discovered in space or a new species of animals being discovered, those kinds of things. I like that. Outside of that, I guess, you know, maybe a celebrity wedding that might, you know, I'm not really interested so much, but, you know, it's.

I think in this country, a lot of the news, if you if you if you did a research from like the beginning of January to the end of the beginning of January to the end of December, a lot of the main stories would be about the news about the weather. The stories would be about the news, really. It'll be about weather, you know, too hot, too cold, too rainy, too, too wet, too dry to, you know, you name it.

Too much. No, not enough. No.

It's obsessed with the weather over here. And so am I. It's genetic. It is genetic.

You've got no choice. I'm born into it. And I'll always be there moaning about the weather.

I've sat in other countries moaning about the weather, sitting on holiday moaning about the weather. I can't help it. I moan about the weather.

That's what I do. I was born with that particular genetic defect. We're complaining or at the very least, commentating, talking about the weather that has there has to be a weather related conversation at some point.

And because that's what I am. And that's where I've been born here, raised. I've got the other hereditary did it.

I know the right word is my hereditary is moaning about the weather, moaning about the weather. And there's there's not a lot I can do about it, because the weird thing about it, right, is to me, it doesn't feel negative. And I know that it probably really is at times.

But it doesn't feel so negative. It's sometimes it really feels like it's almost a great way to communicate with somebody. Because you meet someone for the first time a bus stop or waiting for a train that's delayed and it's raining really hard or it's thundering or if it's snowing or really windy and you've automatically got something to talk to them about.

And even though you're both stating the bleeding obvious by talking about how cold it is or how rainy it is, or how windy it is. I mean, it's obvious, you know, well, yeah, obviously is because both of you are very interested in talking about this subject. It just doesn't seem negative.

It seems almost positive. It's a way to connect with people. It's a way to feel part of society while moaning about the weather.

Now, I don't know if it's like that in other countries. I don't know. And is it? Is it? Does the people moan about the weather everywhere? It might not.

It might not be an English UK thing, British thing. It might just be a general, you know, worldwide thing. Everybody does it.

And I'm not special. Now, I think we established I am quite special. That's what my teachers told me.

I'm very special. You're a special boy. Yeah, now go into that classroom, put your hat on.

That's it. Yeah, the triangle one. That's a good boy.

The one with the D. Yeah, D on it. Yeah, that's it. Let's see if we can count to five today, shall we? Let's learn something new.

Yeah, that was, I couldn't believe it when I was put in the dances class. I didn't really know what was going on, if I'm honest. Because I was in the first year of high school.

And I don't remember, I think I might have got into like normal lessons, lessons, normal lessons for, you know, the first term, maybe September to Christmas. And then I'm taken out of those lessons and put into a room, which was a big like playroom. This was in high school.

So I was 11 years old. And there was, and I was taken out for two different lessons, maths and another lesson, maybe English, I can't remember geography. So I spent probably two lessons a day in this room.

And it was a big room. But there was no teacher. I was put in there with a bunch of other kids.

So maybe there was 10 of us, 11 of us, maybe, maybe less. And I knew the other kids anyway, because I went to, you know, I've been to school with them. My previous school, some of them went there.

And the other kids, I kind of just knew from having met them at this school. So I kind of knew everyone. Or I got to know them anyway.

And I didn't understand why I was in that class. And none of us really understood why we were there. Because there was no teacher, they just left us to do whatever we wanted for two hours, or an hour and a half or whatever it was.

And they'd come and let us out. I don't think they locked us in, but they came and said, bugger off. It was like, okay.

But there was books to read, toys to play with. And it was basically they didn't, I don't think they, well, they didn't openly call it the dunces class. But it was the dunces class.

And back then, I'm pretty sure the staff room, you know, the teachers would call it the dunces class. But at that point, we're talking early 80s, they weren't quite as blatant with their wording as previous times. And of course, now special needs, it's not, you know, someone wouldn't be, or hopefully they wouldn't be mistreated for being, for having needs, for special needs, having mental or emotional health issues.

So, but back then, we weren't given any rubbish. We weren't mistreated. We were just ignored.

So, which I didn't mind, none of us minded, because we just did what we wanted. And we had fun and we played and we all pretended to get married to each other. And, you know, we had, honestly, we just played around.

And I made some friends. And some of those friends, they were like the ruffians of the year. They were ruffians because they were, just refused to do anything they were told.

And I'm not sure why I was there. Maybe, yeah, maybe I didn't do what I was told. Yeah, I only didn't a bit.

But it was still weird, still strange to be just chucked into a big room with a bunch of other kids. But no guidance, no supervision, just left. Why? What? I mean, I didn't want to teach there.

So I'm not complaining. That just seemed strange. Because I'd never been in that situation before where I'd just been chucked into a classroom without any teacher.

So I blame it on my maths teacher. And it's not his fault because he got ill. He's the loveliest teacher, one of the loveliest teachers I've ever met.

And he always gave me time. You know, I didn't know. I was very, very behind educationally.

I just was. And I did have special needs. Yeah, it's just the way, yeah, I would have, I would have been down a special needs and who knows what I would have been diagnosed with.

I don't know. However, he didn't care about that. He just seemed to see me as another, just a little boy who needed a bit more help, you know.

And he did try and help me. And I remember him, Mr. Johnson, big beard, big, big, big, big, big old beard. It's a big man.

And it was lovely, softly spoken, lovely, lovely man, really liked him. And he, he got ill, and he never came back. So that was after like the first either, it might not have even been a whole term, it might have only been half a term.

And then, but he obviously made an impact because I remember his name. I remember what he looked like. He had, I'll tell you what he looked like.

To give you an idea of his hair, he had long hair, but it was like, oh, what's his name? Highway to heaven. He had hair like that. But he had a beard as well.

So he had Highway to heaven hair, and Grizzly Adams beard. I really am going back in time. So then they brought in a, like a substitute teacher.

And I don't know why, but the class decided, the maths class decided to not do any work. Which is weird. They basically decided to try and ruin the teacher, which they did.

And they did two, two in a row. And the teacher would leave, wouldn't come back, and they put another one in. And I don't know why the kids were like that, because I didn't, I don't remember getting involved in that.

I was there, but I don't remember really giving the teachers a hard time. Because the only teachers I gave a hard time to were the ones that gave me a hard time. I wouldn't just decide to be awkward and horrible for the sake of it.

It really was a, mine was a response to the teacher. If the teacher was nice, I'd be nice to them. As it is, I only had one nice teacher outside of Mr. Johnson, and he left.

Now I had two nice teachers, but they were both RE teachers, Religious Education. So I had a really nice teacher in the first two years, and then I had this really nice female teacher in the last three years. Three, yeah, five years, blimey.

So RE was just a subject that I was interested in. I don't know why, just was. And the first teacher, the first RE teacher actually gave me an album to take home.

And it was the original version of Joseph Anatechnikola, raincoat or dream coat, whatever it is, cardigan. So he had the original version on tape, or it might have been an album, like vinyl. And he lent it to me, which is weird, but he did.

Because I just loved it. For some reason, I think he, he might have played it during the class. And I said, I really like that a lot.

And he lent it to me. I think it was on tape. And it's weird because I was listening to it the other day on Spotify.

And I can still see why I liked it. Because it's catchy. And the way it tells the story and Joseph really was a pain in the bum when he got very, like, you know, man, can you imagine someone like that? He, he really, he was pushing the buttons.

He was pushing, pushing boundaries with his family, with his brothers, to be acting like he was all that. Oh, man. I'd forgotten about that.

Until I listened to it again. Now, the newer versions of the of the show have been made on, you know, recordings, quite a few, in fact, I think. And we had a couple of very famous people play Joseph in the UK, in the West End.

One of them was Jason Donovan, I do believe. And that was just, you know, late 80s, I think maybe when Jason Donovan was really, really famous here. And then, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's his name? Oh, I know his name, but it's gone out of my head.

But he's a TV presenter. And he's been around for about 40 years. Philip Schofield, that's it.

Philip Schofield. He was Joseph for a while as well. But he again, he was a big star.

He still is really. He hasn't gone away. He's been around for a long time.

He's a fair, fair to say he's very famous here. He's, he used to be in a what was he on? I think it was BBC Cupboard. And he had a, like a little puppet in the, in the like, cupboard room or whatever.

And he used to introduce children's programs. And then he just went on to do lots of different things. He's hosted lots of TV shows, quizzes, as well as I think he's been doing the daytime television show for about 20 odd years.

So yeah, he's been been around a long time. Philip Schofield. And the two big, biggest controversies that he ever really did was, well not controversies, but to him, it was a big thing.

And he came out as both grey and gay. Two different separate occasions. The first one was grey, he came out as grey.

So for decades, decades, he'd been on TV with black hair or dark hair. And then he came in and out, he announced that he's actually been grey since he was a teenager. But he was embarrassed and he didn't, you know, so, but no one cared.

No one was really interested. It didn't, no one, it isn't like, who cares? Is there people like Philip Schofield, they're not interested in the colour of his hair, it doesn't make any difference. And a similar kind of reaction when he came out as gay, like, no one really cared.

The newspapers tried to make it into a big thing and, but people watched the show because they like him. They, you know, he's a part of the television furniture, as it were. You know, I can't, I'll struggle to even think of a time when Philip Schofield wasn't on television.

I mean, it's been over 30 years and he, you know, he's still going strong. And he's still young, you know, he's older than me, but not by much. He's probably about 55, if that, maybe 56.

Because, you know, maybe even, blimey, he could be younger than me. It's hard to tell with that grey hair. Because I look so young with my dark hair.

Yeah, sure. No, I like Philip Schofield, I've always liked him. I like him.

I struggle a little bit hearing him being all serious sometimes, when he's interviewing people, he gets all serious. And it's like, oh, come on, keep it light. Keep it light.

And then he had, they have funny people on there sometimes. And there was this bloke that had the longest dong in the world. And he's just, he's just laughing.

Philip and whoever he, like, co presents with, he's been through a few different people over the years. But once he gets, once he starts laughing, he really laughs. He can't stop.

They call it corpsing, don't they? But he just can't stop laughing. And it's funny. It's, yeah, it's very funny to see someone.

And you know, they're, they're doing everything to stop themselves from laughing. And nothing's gonna work. Because the more you, the more you try and stop, the harder it is, isn't it? I remember I was at his funeral, and it was a family member.

And right at the end of the funeral, we were outside the church. And someone came up to my auntie and said, oh, how are you doing? But she called her by the name of the person that was just been buried. It was her sister, you know, her sister, she called her by her sister's name.

And I just, I started laughing, I couldn't help it. And I mean, at the very least, you shouldn't know the name of the person whose funeral you're going to. But I couldn't stop laughing.

I had to move away. Obviously, I mean, you're not really supposed to laugh at funerals. But I couldn't help it.

Because it was just so absurd. So absurd. So I'm trying to think of another time when I couldn't stop laughing.

Yeah, I think it's this occasion. I quite like making people laugh like that. When you know, it's one is yeah, making someone laugh just generally is, it's nice, but getting them by really catching them off guard, where they just can't stop laughing.

Because it tickles them so much. I like that. I find that happens more.

When in the past, I'm thinking, most things have happened in the past, apart from those that will happen in the future. Sometimes I notice it's people that don't laugh. Generally, you know, quite, I guess focused, you know, so if it's a workplace, they're focused on what they're doing.

They're not there for a jolly and then they're, you know, they're taking themselves or taking their job seriously, whatever. They're the ones that I find that I can sometimes catch off guard, because they're not expecting it. And, you know, I had a girlfriend once and she didn't really, I mean, she, she, we laughed and giggled, you know, but she didn't really find me funny necessarily.

You know, she wasn't like rolling around laughing. She did roll around a bit, but it's, I told her, I'll do your shoelaces up. And I remember she, we was, I can't even say it out loud, what I said, but basically I said a word, a funny term, which is like a front door fart.

I don't know if you, but it's, but I said, anyway, I said it because she, she, I said, oh, you just did a thingy and she looked and she started, she started laughing hysterically and couldn't stop because she'd never heard the term before. And she found it hilarious and kind of got me going, laughing that is. I didn't, plus I did have to get out of there because I had things to do.

And I think at that time I was preparing for a break dancing contest. So I'm trying to think when was that? 95. I don't know where, where did this time go? I know where it goes, but where does it go? It's like, just really? Really? You know what I mean? Like really? How? How? How? I don't get it.

Just 95, 2005, 2015, 2025. So literally three or three more years and it's 30 years ago. That's why that is why I need to really make the most of time, do stuff, you know? And just to get, I just, you know, time goes by and I want to make sure that I actually, I'd like to accomplish something in the next five years or 10 years, you know? Not just have another 10 years go by and like, wow, okay.

Because it's 10 years since the Olympic games in London. 10 years. I don't remember the Olympic games in London.

I really don't, don't remember it. I think, I don't know why, but I don't remember it. I don't know where I was.

Maybe I just happened to be working during that time because I was a counsellor. So, yeah, perhaps I just didn't get to see it. No, really? 2002? I don't remember.

I don't remember. I don't know. Oh, bit of gas.

So, yeah, so I don't know what time it is now. Four, between four and six. Oh, yeah.

Which means probably not six o'clock yet. I couldn't have spent more than 10 minutes collecting the groceries. It couldn't have taken more than 10 minutes.

So, it can't be six o'clock yet. It might be though. It is possible.

Possible. I don't know. No, I don't know.

No, me no, no, no, no, no, no.Me no, no. You no, I no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that it really matters. Yeah, not really.

But I'd like to need to get this desk situation sorted out maybe. I also need to decide, am I going to make any live or not live videos, but make videos of me and put them on YouTube? Am I going to go down that road or am I just going to move away and continue with the podcasts? You know, something that I need to focus on. If I am going to do that, then I need to get rid of the stuff.

Or, you know, move the lights, the lighting and all that stuff and put that into storage out of the way. So that I'm not tripping over things. I don't know.

I'm trying to think what else. Yeah, and to get the desks sorted out. So.

There's research to do. There's preparation that I need to be doing to before making recordings. You know, it's a bit high pitch, isn't it? I watched a superhero movie on Disney Plus.

And I swear that I went into the Muppet storage and brought out like a few members of, remember the animal, you know, the drummer, they had a few like that. And I'm thinking, I don't know, it seems a bit lazy. Don't stop bringing puppets out for an Avengers, you know, for a Marvel film.

They, I don't know. It seems that Disney, I mean, there's some funny bits that, you know, I watched the new Marvel film, the, what's his name? And it was good. But I don't know, it seemed a little bit, it seemed a little bit animated in some ways, almost like the special effects.

I don't know, I'm not really sure how to put my finger on it. But it just seemed a bit strange. It wasn't, and there was funny bits, there was very funny bits on it.

And there was some serious stuff and, but it was Thor, is it Love and Thunder? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think the movies are the same since Disney took over.

I might be wrong. But they seem to be a little bit more watered down. Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe, maybe I've got it wrong. And I know that, you know, they are kind of aimed at family entertainment. I know Disney obviously are, but it's just, you know what I mean? Just, I'm not quite sure.

Just something doesn't seem quite right with the Disney shows compared to the old Marvel films. And it's, I don't know, I guess the only way to really see a difference, to see if it, you know, if Disney bought the franchise for DC, which I guess is, I don't know who makes the DC movies, you know, like Superman and Batman and that. I'd like to see how they turn out.

And maybe, well, for one thing, there'd be more humour, because Batman is not famous for his humour, is it? Apart from the one where he's with other superheroes, then there is humour. But yeah, the most recent one, and the three before, I never really understood that. I thought there would, because remember the first, or the original Batman shows and movies were funny, weren't they? But then, you know, the one with Jack Nicholson in, it was, it was quite groundbreaking movies then.

They were dark, but they were very funny as well. And for some reason, with, I forget his name, Nolan, not Nolan, or I don't know, but whatever his name is, he just took it serious. And he's dressed as a bat.

I mean, come on, man, you've got no superpowers and you're dressed as a bat. How serious can you really take yourself? But he seemed to, didn't he? Yeah, I think you should just relax a little bit. Relax and just enjoy.

Enjoy the process, baby. Enjoy. Yeah, baby.

Enjoy the process, baby. We've gone all the way back to 1953, baby. Oh, that's nice.

So yeah. Hmm. And keep an eye out, because at the moment I'm watching She-Hulk as well.

So She-Hulk is on Disney+. And that's kind of a mixture of animation. Yeah, it's a bit weird.

The whole thing's weird, man. It's really weird. But, you know, there's some funny bits.

Wong, Wong is in it. And it's quite weird because the person who plays Wong has been around for decades, decades. In fact, he was even in a TV show in the early 90s, written by Sean Locke.

And he was his lodger. He was a much younger man back then. But just to see him now, and he's been in loads of things.

And because of the Doctor Strange movies, Wong, that's what they call him, he's like a popular character in the franchise now. All those years as an actor, and now he's, I'm not saying he hadn't made it before, but now he's famous, I guess. Wow.

I remember seeing him thinking, why does he look so familiar to me? It looks so familiar. And I couldn't place it. His face looks, there's something about him that looks like I've seen him before.

And I thought, I wonder. Why, why, why, why wonder? Why, why, why, why, why, she went away? And I wonder. And I thought, hmm, if only there was a way that I could find out who he is.

There's some kind of computer based search engine that I could and and then I thought, ah, and then I discovered the internet. So yeah, that was last night. So I've been very busy.

As you can imagine, there's a lot to get through. So I'm going to go. Thank you for listening.

Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Also be gentle, be gentle with yourself. And I shall return tomorrow.

Lots of love. Bye.
