Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.
Yeah, close your eyes man. And what else? Oh, my website is jasonnewland.com. So hey, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Now, I realise by the time this is released, it might actually be Boxing Day, where you live. Hey, wanna give me cuddles? Every single time I start a recording, he comes over and hassles me. I think it's because I'm talking and he doesn't quite understand.
He must think I'm talking to him because there's no one else here. Is that what it is? And he starts answering by going, and starts barking. And last night, I had to put him into the bedroom because he was barking so much.
The thing is, he goes up, but he doesn't want to, like he puts his, you hear him, he puts his paws on my, on my chair. So I go to pick him up, because I'm happy, give him a cuddle, he can stand on my knees, you know, all that stuff. But what he really wants is for me to chase him around, because he wants to play.
And that's where the problem comes in, because I'm probably almost the worst daddy to have, because, stop that. Is he saying hello? Let's pretend he's saying hello to everyone. He's saying hello to everyone.
You see, he really doesn't like me making podcasts. You have to let me do the podcast, because if he does this, it takes ages to edit, because I have to go through the whole thing. And well, last night, what I did is, I'm trying to grab you, so you can come and be part of the thing.
But he won't, he won't let me near him. I'll go, and he just moves, he just moves slightly away, just far enough that I can't get to him. Because the only part I can grab is the collar, so he can't get away.
No, stop that now. Stop it. He doesn't want to go out, because he's just been out about half an hour ago.
So that's not what he, well, he might want that, but that's not what he's going to have happen. What? Can't you just chill out, mate? Just chill out a bit. Chill out.
My chair's squeaking. My chair is very uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable.
So I'm in just moaning. I'm in a fair bit of pain anyway. Come here then, if you want.
If you want a cuddle, I'll give you a cuddle, and we can cuddle all the way through the recording. I'm quite happy to do that. In fact, I'd like to do that.
I like cuddling. Yeah, I do. I love cuddling.
Get off me. Don't touch me. That's all he... Chase me, but don't touch me.
See, when he does it, he's whining. He was whining earlier. Sometimes what I could do, if I give him a treat, the problem with this is, okay, if I give him a treat, he's happy, and he goes away.
There you go. It lasts him for a second, then he wants another one. Now, my issue is this.
It's not giving him the treats. That's why I've got them, to give to him, but I don't want to feel that I'm rewarding him for bad behavior. So for hassling me during this podcast is... There you go.
Good boy. He's naughty. He's being naughty.
Now, he doesn't know he's being naughty. Not really. He doesn't know, does he? How would he know? What is it you're looking for? They're on there.
One more. I'm giving him Nature's Menu Original Meat Beefy Treats with Chicken. 95% chicken and pork.
Best before 22nd of the 12th. Yes, it's like it's going to last a whole year. It's not even going to last a whole minute if I give it to him.
There you go. One more. That's it.
Now, go away. Go away. God, they stink.
He's got proper smelly breath. He really has got proper dog breath sometimes. Okay, I've got you.
Come here. Come here. Wow.
Wow. That was out. All I did is grab him.
I didn't do it horribly. Didn't do it hard. Held him by his arms and then just moved to his body to pick him up.
Did you hear him? Wow. That was unnecessary. He did that the other night and I kicked him out of the bedroom.
I don't like that. Hey. I realize he doesn't know I'm never going to hurt him but I'm never going to hurt him.
I don't think he's been hurt in the past. Maybe he has. I don't think so.
He might have been told off. He might have been spanked. I don't know but I'm never going to hurt him.
So, I'm like why are you being like that? You know? Anyway, I don't know. It's still early days. It's three weeks now I've had him.
Three weeks? Yeah, three weeks. Three weeks yesterday. Anyway, forget it now.
Happy Christmas to you all. I hope you're all okay. I know some people are on their own at Christmas.
Some people are with people they don't want to be with at Christmas. You know? It's not always the perfect scenario for everybody. Some people having a brilliant time with family.
Some people having a brilliant time on their own. I'm quite happy to be on my own. Genuinely, I'm okay.
I ain't got no issues. I'm not on my own. I've got this little bugger.
My neighbour, my friend, he went out and got food and he was going to cook me a dinner today. Well, cook us both a dinner but he kept going on about it. I mean in a bad way but I didn't quite know why.
He kept saying what kind of food you want and I said well I'm a vegetarian now and he said well I'll get a nut loaf and he was going about what he was going to get like days before Christmas. I don't know what I'm going to eat. The only thing I know that I'm going to eat is I'm going to have porridge or ready breakfast tomorrow morning when I get up.
That's the only thing that I have planned. It's because I look forward to it. It's my favourite meal of the day.
My breakfast. Okay, you can have another one. I was going to make a little video and stick it on Facebook of me and this little one but I'll be honest.
I'm stinky. Since Monday, just stay on my lap. Good boy.
Since Monday night, I've not been able to... Oh, bloody bit me. Go away. He didn't bite me hard but he nipped.
You're gonna have to... I don't know how to... Now he's back wanting more after doing that. You know what? Some people wouldn't be quite as patient as me. He did that the other night.
He woke me up at 10 to 2 or was it 10 to 3 in the morning and his mummy, his previous adopted mum, she had him for three months. So that's all he remembers. Three months ago.
He's only nine months old so he remembers her. He probably doesn't remember anything before that. And she comes in the building sometimes because he lives just across the road.
So she sometimes comes in the building and she's friends with my neighbour. Even if she creeps in and doesn't make a sound, he hears her. Because I said, did she come here yesterday? Yeah, she came in.
And she didn't... I couldn't hear her. Honestly, there wasn't even humanly any sound. He heard her and maybe he can smell her.
Maybe, you know, because they've got super smell in their dogs and they can smell people, can't they? That's why they're used as sniffer dogs, isn't it? That's what I'm saying when he can smell. I'm not saying she's smelly. I'm saying he can smell people.
And he's been eating my underwear so he probably smells... Oh, that's grim. But he can smell me probably. But anyway, I think the whole neighbourhood could smell me at the moment.
I haven't been able to do anything since Monday night. I've not been able to get in the shower. Can't get in the bath.
Couldn't get in and out of the bath. But I can't even get my leg over into the shower. Can't get my leg over.
And I can wash, basic washing, but I can't wash my hair because it involves bending over the bath to do it. And I can't bend over for any length of time. I've had problems enough with the arthritis in my lower back.
And I know some of you are probably thinking, oh, do I hear violins? You're going to have to go into the bedroom again if you keep on and... Oh, it's him playing the violin. If you keep... All right. Okay.
Oh, I have to put him in the bedroom. Come on then. Oh.
I'll edit that out. But he is now in the bedroom. The weird thing is, or the useful thing is, he actually follows me in there because he follows me around everywhere I go.
I can't go to the toilet without him just staring at me. He tries to eat my underpants while I'm actually on the toilet, which is... I don't let him. Weird dog.
Weird dog. So he is now in the bedroom. I put the light on so he's, you know, got something to look at.
I don't know. I don't know how it works with dogs. Can they see in the dark? But he's not barking.
Last night he started barking when I put him in there. But it's not really punishment because he's got a king-sized bed or queen-sized bed, a big bed. He loves that bed.
And he's got my underwear to ruin. He's got shoes to chew on. He's pretty much got everything he needs in there for the next half an hour or, I don't know, 45 minutes, however long it is until I finish this recording.
So I think he's going to be okay. It's not really a punishment. It's like he's an empty cellar, a coal cellar or something like that.
He's quite comfortable. It's nice and warm in there. So he'll just go to sleep.
In fact, it's zero punishment, which is what I want because I don't want him to feel he's being punished. Because in all fairness, he wasn't doing anything wrong. Not really.
He was just wanting my attention. He was talking to me and he was playing around. But because I'm trying to work, it's not work, but you know what I mean, because I'm trying to do this recording, he's... If I let him bark all the way through and I just leave it, I'm going to have to listen to every single second of the recording in order to edit out any barking.
Because not all the barks are loud. And then when I'm playing it back, he can hear himself barking. He starts barking and it's just... You know, so it's one of those weird things.
Weird cyclical things. So yeah, it's Christmas day 2022, Sunday 25th of December. And yeah, there's a couple of people I want to say thank you to.
So let's have a look. Just got my phone. I want to say a big thank you to Molly.
So thank you to Molly for being the admin for my Facebook group. Who is my Facebook group? What is my Facebook group? Jason Newland Hypnotist Group. Is it? What is it? I don't know.
It doesn't tell me. How do I go to the group? Where's the group at then? That's weird. Jason Newland Hypnotist.
No. Oh, maybe it is Jason Newland. No, it's not.
Oh, man. Jason Newland Hypnotist Group. Okay.
89 members. So it's gone up by nine in the last week or so. So thanks for joining all the new people.
Who's new? Who's new? Let me have a look. 89 members. Admin, me, group activity, 87.
Group activity, nine total members in the last week. Oh, it's not letting me open up who it is. So thank you.
Admin doesn't say added. No, it's not telling me who it is. But so thank you for that.
And thank you to Molly for being the admin for the group. If you want to join, just go just search for it. Jason.
What's it called again? Jason Newland Hypnotist Group. And basically 19 notifications. Okay, right.
Yeah. So good for you. Good.
Yeah, I'll leave that now. I want to say another thank you to come on. Come on.
And say thank you to Mary for PayPal gift. Thank you. Did I reply to you? I hope I did.
If I didn't, I'm sorry. I've been a little bit distracted with stuff that's going on at the moment. My friend downstairs is unwell.
So he's got a toothache. He's making a meal. And he can't get any help.
He can't you know, it's Christmas. Nowhere for him to go. The only option really would be potentially you know, going to the hospital.
But then there'll be like a 15 hour 15 hour wait or something like that. And I don't know if they'll actually be able to do anything other than give him medication, maybe give him painkillers. So I gave him some of my painkillers.
But I saw him for about two hours this morning. So he said just come upstairs for 10 minutes, just have a break from where from being down here. And he apologized about is okay, I don't cook any dinner today.
I feel up to it. I can't eat anything. And I said, of course, it's fine.
And he was upset because he wanted to cook me Christmas dinner, which is really lovely, isn't it? And so I said, it doesn't matter. You know, I don't celebrate Christmas, really. But and I said to him, look, it's don't worry about the food.
It's only going to turn into poo a couple of hours later, isn't it? So it doesn't really matter. And he said, Well, that's not really the point, is it? I said, well, no, but you know, I don't. I don't really guess I'm not a foodie.
I mean, clearly by my belly. I do eat. I can't, you know, deny that I have a food intake.
I'm not particularly excited by food. I'm not at all excited by food. The only thing I look forward to is my breakfast in the morning.
I look forward to that. I'm looking forward to that now for tomorrow when I get up. I know it sounds weird, but I do I love my ready break.
It's warm. And it's just it's like a little comfort blanket, I guess. It's my little comfy blankie.
So he's unwell and so I'm a little bit worried, a little bit concerned. But I left him alone for this, you know, for the rest of the day. Hopefully he's got some sleep in that.
And I'll speak to him tomorrow. So yeah, for me, I had a couple of naps today. The painkillers do make me sleepy.
And I've got this weird idea that we heal when we sleep. I mean, there is truth in that. But I don't know if the healing process of my back will hurry up if I sleep more.
I mean, I'm probably be better off putting some more vitamins and, you know, decent nutrition into my body. That would probably have a more beneficial effect, possibly. But I figure I know what I'll do, I'll sleep.
So I'll drink more, I'll drink lots of Coke and eat chocolate. Because it's Christmas, isn't it? It's chocolate time. I'll sleep a bit more, have a bit more, a bit more sleep.
And can you believe last night? I might be lying, but I'm pretty sure last night I went to bed at 9pm. That's 13 minutes past nine now. And I can't believe I'm doing this on Christmas Day evening.
I should be watching television. I should be watching EastEnders and stuff like that. But strange, isn't it? It is strange.
Last year, last year, apparently, according to my podcast statistics. No, he's talking about statistics again. No, no, I'm not talking about statistics.
According to a podcast, no, not my podcast. No. No, I did.
Apparently, I did a live broadcast last Christmas Day. A live broadcast. I don't remember doing that.
I really don't. But I've got the number. Let me boy to sleep.
I'll put in December 2021. And 25th. Where is it? Yeah.
So it's number 782. Let me boy to sleep. Live Christmas Day stream.
Live Christmas Day stream. 25th of December 2021. And it lasted just the basic recording.
Without, you know, without music or that lasted one hours, 44 minutes and 50 seconds. Now, the Happy Christmas one I did on the 24th. So Happy Christmas Eve.
I did that again, and that was one hour and 18 minutes and 32 seconds. So I was doing quite long recordings back then, weren't I? The 23rd of December last year, a 20. Oh, okay.
That's weird. That's strange. Anyway, 23rd of December.
Fun Christmas facts. And that was Aaron Aaron a quarter. Well, there's another one.
21st of December. So I had a day off on 22nd. Must have been tired from who knows what.
So on the 21st of December, I had one called Baby Santa is a naughty boy. No idea what I talked about there. And then the one before that was the 19th of December.
You know, so that one was an hour and 17 minutes. I nearly became a carpet cleaner. Some of these, some of these titles for the podcast, I've got no idea what on earth I'm talking about.
Genuinely don't know. Strange. I mean, really, just some of the titles.
It's almost anyone's guess as to what I'm actually talking about during the podcast. It could be anything. It's almost like a quiz.
Guess what I'm talking about from the title. You won't. But try and guess.
Well, it says I used to become a car. I nearly became a carpet cleaner. So is it about nearly becoming a carpet cleaner? And then you listen to it.
And I probably don't even mention carpet cleaning. It's what do they say in YouTube terms? Clickbait. I put in a title that gets people interested.
But my argument would be who on earth would be interested in hearing me talking about becoming a carpet cleaner. Now I say that not in any kind of negativity towards being a carpet cleaner. Just generally, it's probably not particularly interesting subject.
I would have loved to become a carpet cleaner. And I wish I had. And I probably talk about this in that in that podcast.
The man that used to, he used to clean the carpets in the chip shop that I worked. And I used to stay behind and help him just to move the tables in the restaurant where I worked and, you know, just help him out. And my boss had asked me to do that.
And I do it. And it'd be in the evening could only do it when we were closed. And I was living upstairs in the flat upstairs.
And I really liked this man really liked him is one of the few people that I really looked up to and respected. And I wasn't cheeky with or anything like that, because I was quite cheeky youngster when I was 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 33, 42, 51, you know, I guess I'm not so cheeky now, but I was a little bit a little bit, I don't know, probably disrespectful didn't mean to be but I don't know, maybe a little bit a little bit cheeky. I say cheeky, cheeky.
But I wasn't with him. I didn't make fun of him. I didn't wasn't rude to him.
I didn't chat back to him. I just liked him. He was lovely.
And I don't know where he is or what he's doing. I hope he's well, I hope he's happy. And even though he was old, to me, then, in reality, probably wasn't that much older than me.
You know, he probably was in the 30s. If that he might be less, he might be in his late 20s, or, you know, but anyone over 20, when you when you're 16, anyone over 20s old, they can seem old. Not always, but you know, they're men or women, they're like fully grown people.
Someone 30 they're like proper mature compared to me. I mean, I was I didn't go through puberty till I was 27. So it's, it's kind of I did what I don't believe everything I say.
Really, he didn't go through puberty till he was 27. I wonder what kind of medical condition he had. I didn't it was a lie.
Oh, he's a liar. He's a liar. What else is he lied about? Everything.
Every four years of lying. That's what I've been doing. Do you know? Four years.
Four years of lying. I can't believe it's taken me four years to just get a 610,000 and a half 610 and a half thousand downloads. 610,000 downloads.
That's not a lot is it for four years. I'd really, really, really dadadadadada. When was the first it was 2000.
And when was the first one? I don't know. I don't know when the first one how many how many sleep ones have I had today? Wow, it's gone down. So I had deep sleep whisper hypnosis recordings the other day 11234 days ago.
it shot up from 896 downloads to 3634 in a day which was like probably the most I've ever had in a day on that podcast now that podcast I've had just over a million downloads in total Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis it's got its own audience some people love it some people don't you know it's just but it's got its own particular audience and says this I guess but then you're the next day 2682 still really good for a day considering I haven't made a new Deep Sleep Whisper for a little while haven't made anything new
at all this week or last week been at least two weeks then the next day 1800 and then yesterday 2450 but then today 1478 so it's gone down but it's still a lot more than what it was before I don't know so that 40,000 over the last 30 days so that's a really weird one and in the other podcast that's really jumped up this week and I don't know why genuinely do not know why okay it's not the only one but the hypnosis for sleeping deeply that jumped up on the same day to 3675 I've
had days like that before but it's it's not normal it's not the average amount I get and yesterday 3200 today 2400 but the one that really shot up and I don't know why and I don't think I've ever had anything even close to this before is hypnosis for stress and anxiety so I've got three 3.
3 million downloads on that podcast and on that day is the 21st of December so what is that Sunday Saturday Friday Thursday Wednesday Wednesday seven thousand and sixteen downloads never ever had that many on one day I don't think ever on one podcast ever have I had that many just on one day because you know I've got a few podcasts and it adds up over the different podcasts but I don't think I've ever had over 7,000 on just one broadcast Wow and then it was 4800 the next day 5800 the following day 5006 the next
day and today so far 3632 so it's still early 9 10 11 12 still four hours left to so that probably go up to I don't know 4,000 or something I suppose what is it now 3600 probably four and a half thousand maybe five thousand before the end of the day it's really weird I don't understand quite why what what's kind of how this has happened hypnosis sleep deeply 3.
2 million downloads in total it's not bad is it hey and the other one I've got a million is sleep insomnia hypnosis 1.
8 million and relax asleep hypnosis daily 530,000 have I got a million somewhere else as well oh yeah deep sleep whisper hypnosis 1 million and 96,000 so you know as I said it's got its own audience and it's grown over time all the others are just quite small really stop smoking relaxation hypnosis 67 million 67 million 67,000 all in all very strange okay I've got stuck on the stats again I do apologize it does happen sometimes I can't help myself because to be fair in my defense not that I need to defend myself but in
my defense if I wasn't interested in what I'm doing I wouldn't do it so it's in the benefit of anyone that if anyone likes listening to what I do it's your benefit for me to be interested because I don't do things I'm not interested in so I have to keep my interest I guess I don't have to share that interest I don't have to talk about it I guess on a podcast but I'm going to so there yeah Wow so yeah it's weird I don't quite know why it's things have grown the way they have
I'm grateful I love the fact that is things have gone up and statistically you know I did one recording last night let me boy to sleep one and that was weird because the stats of that podcast or this podcast went up and I share on other podcasts as well but it was quite interesting that it just it just shot up so much at the end of yesterday and today I woke up and I had quite a few downloads already in the bag as it were already on this you know it's just overnight and if I
didn't have the downloads that I get it'd be hard to be motivated to do this you know if it went down or if you know I mean I know that I don't always make recordings every day and I guess I'm not really fulfilling what I perhaps should be aiming at as far as really I need to be doing a deep sleep whisper hypnosis recording every day I need to be doing a let me boy to sleep recording every day I need to be doing a relaxing sleep hypnosis daily daily I mean it's a daily podcast
I should be doing one of them every day at least so at least three podcasts need really need to be done every day and then I look and at the stress and pain relief podcast or the chronic pain hypnosis or the stop smoking I mean those ones need to be I need to start doing regular ones of those especially the chronic pain podcasts because that's the thing I'm most interested in that's the whole reason why I'm where I am because of that because of wanting to help people who have chronic pain and to help to
reduce the suffering just check in the thing I have to check the recorder every now and then just to make sure it's working because I don't want to be caught out again like I was wait yeah it wasn't good the other day I recorded it was Monday night yeah I recorded and 15 minutes of recording out of about an hour and a half of me talking complete it was gold it was an amazing podcast I mean I was there I got to experience it and it was particularly particularly enjoyable but you're never gonna get to
hear it because it's gone never got recorded I sometimes do wonder and I used to do this before years ago when I used to record on I used to record twice just in case so I would record on yes I used to record on my iPad and and have a setup you know have the whole equipment set up with the iPad and this was a couple of years ago maybe a year and a half ago and I would also record on my phone just no setup maybe a little microphone but just separate just in case
the there was a problem with the recording so at least I didn't waste that hour I don't do that anymore maybe I should just as a backup just to make sure that it's okay because you know even a recorded on a phone it's not going to be terrible providing I'm not outside and it's windy and stuff and I can increase the volume and you know and then suddenly occasionally it's hopefully never but if it happens it's very rare that I would need to use it so maybe I'll start doing that maybe oh I think I've
talked myself into it maybe I'll start doing it very soon very very soon did I tell you I hurt my back let me tell you all about it but before I do that I want to get Facebook up and I'm gonna read out some messages I had messages messages Merry Christmas everybody's having fun look to the future it's only just begun right this is Jason Newland hypnotist group so I've got a couple of messages I have replied to them and here we go one message from Mike it says is it is actually a picture of

I did was 900 oh is it 16th of December I posted that on the 18th of December it's on my one of my Facebook pages really go put a little bit more effort in it's terrible in it it's awful I'm just not on the ball at all what it rhymed wonder why that is not white right but why am I not on the ball right let's see if there's anything on the other page the even this one I got 27,000 likes and 27,000 followers on my Jason Newland hypnotist Facebook page no one no one sees
my posts it's almost mean some people do but it's like minimum no one ever comments really so it's but then I don't post very often it's almost like I don't even exist or not like don't exist but it's like I'm not active and I am active very active I'm very active it's almost like I've kind of just stopped doing what I do but I haven't but I think there's some people and they just assume unless I post it on Facebook so I had this in the past they saw remember someone saying when are you gonna
start making more podcasts I said well I haven't stopped making them I just haven't been sharing them on Facebook that's all so I need to maybe start doing that it's just there's so much to do and at the moment I'm in the process of building up my YouTube page that's my newest thing and I don't want it to take up all my time however it is fairly time-consuming and I've now got what have I got 803 subscribers so it's it's going up by about one a day one a day wowsy-powsy I mean that's phenomenal oh
never been so excited this is war one a day so I want 10,000 by the end of next year one a day I'm gonna reach what 1,100 by the end of next year very well that's weird strange sound that clicking at the moment I'm uploading or releasing two videos every day on YouTube at the moment I'm also making and uploading a bunch of videos to the scheduled to be you know released I'm now up to the 20th 22nd of January on for at least one a day and then I'm up to the 3rd of January
for two a day so it's just a case of getting it all done and I did upload also where is it I made a video of my let me bore you to sleep podcast yesterday it's just a video wouldn't you know a moving image and the background and stuff but I had 10 people 10 people have watched it so it's not um it's not quite not quite maybe YouTube on a on a Christmas Day is not so busy but the podcasts seem it's weird I was talking to my friend I saying Christmas Day is normally
fairly quiet and I was gonna give an example last year but last year I had over 20,000 downloads Christmas Day so that wasn't a good example I've forgotten about that but bearing in mind last December was an exceptionally it was the best month I've ever had I don't know why it just happened to be a really really busy month and the previous 25th of December was about three thousand three and a half thousand for the day and I'm pretty sure by that time I was on about I was able to get you know ten thousand
a day on a on a good day it took a while to get out to the ten thousand a day point it did took some time so I'm just thinking January December by January 2020 21 22 yeah 2020 January 2020 okay it's not allowing me to do that oh that's a shame it's not allowing me to go back a bit further December 2020 is quite the furthest I can go back oh poo head that's a shame so December 2020 so it'll only go back two years so if I just go for seven days December 20
so I'm getting yeah first of December 2000 and 2020 yeah first of December 2020 I'm getting seven thousand four hundred the most I get is eight thousand eight hundred and four oh yeah it does have every day so the whole month okay I don't even reach ten thousand on any day but I do start to get to nine thousand on one day so this is 2020 and so it wasn't no I wasn't I was every day was okay but I wasn't getting like huge amounts if that makes sense 25th 2020 3321 so that's 2020 so
January what happened in January January I still don't get 10,000 yet in a day but things are starting to grow I'm getting you know so yeah it's quite interesting well this is 2020 2021 so February 2021 oh I have my first 10th blimey it's not very good at all not very good at all February 2021 what on earth is happening in 2021 in February I've got no idea so I'm getting not more than three four thousand a day and then on the 25th of February I get 26,000 and then the 2611 nearly 12,000 so that's
weird so I'm not sure quite what happened there and then March 2021 don't know this is only last year isn't it things start to pick up things start to grow it's the first half of the month I'm still getting some days were like one day was over 7,000 but it's all average in about four to five thousand and then the 17th of March things start to grow and I start to go pretty much above 7,000 22nd of March 2021 it goes up to just under 10,000 and nearly every day it's above 10,000 after that apart
from one day some days there's like 11,000 one day it was just under 9,000 but the rest are above so the end of the month every day is pretty much above 10,000 so that's March so it took me was it November 2018 to March 2021 to start getting above 10,000 a day there's been a slow old slog you know well you could say from February 2006 but you know that's a different thing that's a I was doing a lot more different things back then April 2021 above 10,000 nearly every day apart from 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10 okay but it's just under okay so okay maybe 50% is over 10,000 pretty much 1 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 okay 10 days out of 30 was over 10,000 but all the others were not that much under that makes sense so it's growing more days are becoming over 10,000 this is by April 2021 and the lowest I went down was about 7,000 so this was a huge increase compared to ever before so then we get to May and again it's I get some
days at 4,000 some days like well to be fair I didn't get one day over 10,000 but it's still close there's still some nine thousands nine and a half thousands but I've also got some low ones as well three and a half thousand so it's still up and down but it's more in the upper version per version upper version then June 2020 this is even boring for me it's weird again it starts to grow and I'm starting to get better days but there's also some low days as well but it's growing gradually if that makes
sense it's just gradually increasing so July 2021 not particularly good month to be fair okay I didn't get anything above 10,000 so August 2021 it's weird because when I look at this and I think it did take me a long time to be getting above 10,000 every day it took a long time to that it hasn't happened quickly it's really taken a lot of patience and work to get to that so by August 2021 it's starting to get much more especially near the end of the month everything you know I've got a few over 10
but they're all kind of around that area getting towards the 10,000 and in September this is when it picks up if I remember slow start to the month I've got no idea what happened in September 2021 but then for some reason I'm right no it's it's not small it's just the end is so big that the beginning looks small so I start off at 7,000 but by the 7th of September I'm up to nearly 13,000 apart from one day at the 12th which is nine nine nearly 10,000 it starts to go up to the point
where one day I got 20 just under yeah just over 28,000 26,000 27,000 24,000 I don't know why I'm getting that many and there must be a reason but it's starting to grow I'm getting more and more over 10,000 it's red I'm going below 10,000 in October yeah so I really really since that kind of time I really go below 10,000 at all October I didn't in a day 9th night November I didn't December I know I didn't because that was just ridiculous 849,000 just for the month of December last year I mean it's phenomenal
a huge amount for me huge amount no I still don't know why I kind of know why but I was uploading quite a lot of new stuff quite a lot of stuff with music reuploading things because I had to take it down for whatever reason but you know someday that the 50,000 638 downloads over 50,000 in one day on the 12th of December that's just blimey blimey misses it's a lot so yeah didn't have anything under 10,000 on that month so I wonder this this year I know this is boring but it's supposed to be
I like saying that because it's kind of true so this year how many days have I had under 10,000 downloads none in January none in February none in March did it did it did none in April no one in April now there's 8,000 so one in April so it's just one so far in 2022 so May now so one two three four Wow so May was a bit maybe in the summer things go down a little bit quieter I don't know so one so I've already got one so one two three four five seven eight
nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen okay so 13 days in May 2022 were under 10,000 but most of those just on the cusp you know nine thousand four hundred and thirty five or nine thousand twenty six nine thousand six hundred seventy two so you see I mean they were roughly about the 10,000 there's a couple that were one with 7,000 that was the lowest one so that's 13 all together isn't it I think it's a June what happened in June I was away that's why so my stats were a lot lower when I was away
that makes sense really doesn't it to be fair so I didn't make any new recordings for pretty much I made what about three recordings in a month or three weeks so it was gonna it was gonna be in effect so for the first part of the month so I'm gonna write off May although most of the days still above 10,000 I even had one at 22,000 but it depends you know I've had I've got one at 7,000 we've got one at four and a half thousand but that was proper low that's really low that's in
June but even so I still got 341,000 downloads in a whole month so you know still average it evens out 300,000 is 10,000 a day isn't it so 341,000 is averaging more than 10,000 July 325,000 yeah a lot of couple under 10,000 three one two three four but the rest like some 15,000 13,000 yeah so that's all right this is now August now I wasn't around at the end of August and begin the September so the beginning of August so all in all I had 362,000 in August so beginning was pretty good and then this
is a summary of the year that's what I'm doing now it's a summary of the year a summary of the year so I'm checking it still recording checking I haven't bored the recorder to sleep so the first part of August was good and then I traveled away a little while so basically it pitted down to very little I didn't get more than some 6,000 a day at the end of August but I still got 362,000 for the month and in September September was a slow month but then I was gone for quite a while it
wasn't and in fact the first the first two weeks of September I was in bed with a chest infection so I wasn't really back until I think the 19th of September and then the stats went up 12,000 12,000 so every day pretty much at the end of September was good but the first part of September it was you know five six thousands so I think the thing is if I go too many days without making a recording I just people stop listening and it's a shame because I wish I could well not that I want
to make just one recording and have everyone listen to it over and over again but that would be easier it'd be boring for me and potentially boring for people listening so back to normal ways October 328,000 so averaging over 10,000 obviously a day on that one so that's what we can look at can't we really like averaging based on the amount per month if that's that's all I needed to do the last 12 months so December so far it's been a fairly quiet month in December but then this week I haven't done a huge amount
but that doesn't really explain the beginning of the month wonder why that is anyway November 304,000 so that's 10,000 a day 328,000 October 242 in a September August 362 July 325 June 341 354 in May April 401 March 533 the beginning of the year was pretty phenomenal you know December well that's weird why is it seven seven hundred and seventy three downloads when clearly clearly there was 800 oh well so saying no that was December wasn't it it's a January 773,000 February 681 533 March 401 in April 354 so it kind of could say it's
just gone down so I'm getting I'm getting less people listening so that you could look at it that way I don't want to if I'm honest maybe I I looked at how many recordings I did this year and I didn't do as many this year as I did last year so I'm gonna look at that and maybe try to I'm not sure what maybe it's because I was yeah I had a couple of breaks plus I had a couple of breaks I broke my toes I broke my back well I broke my back but I
fractured my back and I don't know what else happened oh yeah chest infection on holiday a couple of times so yeah perhaps I haven't been perhaps I don't know maybe I haven't been as productive as I normally am perhaps perhaps not although I did count how many I did I've got written down somewhere and it was like 230 recordings I did which I think is quite a lot of recordings to be fair I mean I know it's not every day it's not one a day but to make 230 I think it was 230 so I
made 230 individual recordings many of them over an hour long that's quite a lot of work really when you consider the editing and the uploading time and everything so it's just it's not a lot if you figure well 365 days I didn't do one a day but I did do five a week that makes I think I did about five a week so does that make sense 52 weeks times by 5 5200 5200 so yeah maybe four four and a half a week four a week four weeks not bad is it it's not like you
know you think Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday that's quite a lot or if you look at another way if you if if you was given a long weekend Friday Saturday Sunday Monday it'd be like wow that's good I'm happy with that that's four days so instead of like oh just four days four days can be a good thing yeah so four recordings a week it's not it's not awful I mean the recordings might be awful but the actual as far as an accomplishment I don't know but then I have also been trying to learn new
equipment how to use stuff and been doing research and you know I've had other commitments and other things I needed to deal with as well so yeah I'm basically trying to say that I'm doing my best kind of doing my best I'm probably not really doing my best I could probably do better but I'm gonna stick to the idea that I'm doing my best but I'm gonna try I'm gonna try next year or as the news reporters like to say next year yeah not year yeah I hear that so much not just news reporters presenters
TV presenters yeah happy new year yeah what is that yeah yeah not yeah yeah I mean when I was a kid I didn't go to the school nurse and say I got a ache I said I had earache so I used to get here right when I was at school it's a happy new year you know it's weird way to talk I don't quite understand it at all I need to let it go I'm gonna let it go it's gone good thank you very much so next year I'm gonna try to do one recording every
day of the lonely boy to sleep I'd like like I have all my glasses look like they're made broken I hope they're not broken please say they're not broken no they're my reading glasses but they look and I hope I'd like to do three recordings a day and I know that it's kind of it's a bit of a why would I put myself under that pressure I don't know I'd like to do 10 recordings a day but you know that's just physically probably not gonna happen unless each recording was 10 minutes each even then it
they take ages definitely can't do 10 hour long recordings I could maybe do 10 half hour recordings that's five hours but then it's still gonna be another let's say five hours editing and then another five hours or more uploading so yeah you're looking 15 16 hours a day without any anything else without making images without you know it's just yes not not practical it's not practical if I can make one deep sleep whisper recording a day one let me boy the sleep recording a day one relax and sleep hypnosis daily recording a day and then
maybe I quite like to do a sleepy boring objects recording every day I'd also like to do a deep bedtime story time because I've only done one the whole year now I know I don't get many people actually well I don't get a lot of people listening to them on the actual podcast but when I upload it onto the let me boy to sleep podcast or any of the others it don't they do get quite a lot of listens the actual podcast itself is only he said seven half thousand downloads but I've only made one
this year which is not great is it and also I got to stop smoking relaxation hypnosis I mean that in itself I've had sixty seven and a half thousand downloads on there I don't get many a day and many a month one and a half thousand a month on there this month but if I make a new recording or whenever I make a new recording the statistics go up so it's kind of one of those weird was it or 18th of October that's the last one so if I go to October and give you an
idea right yeah so I release one and I had nearly 500 downloads on that day so if I make a new recording suddenly it gets lots of boys going croaky I get like a big increase and I guess really when it comes to hip hip hypnosis stop smoking and losing weight are the two most popular things that people like you know I mean in it this is that's weird I said a thing saying that someone here doesn't have a picture themselves perhaps we need to stop that people need to have pictures themselves on Facebook I
don't know why I just that's why YouTube is Facebook is better than YouTube in a sense of YouTube you can pretty much be anonymous on YouTube which is why people get away with being so offensive on videos they can like not not the creators but just on the comment section but on Facebook because you have to put your name and I like to see pictures I don't know why yeah I don't like my picture might get rid of it anyway I'm gonna go it's Christmas Day what am I doing doing this for I should be
and I don't know what I should be doing if you're doing something it's Christmas ho ho ho bottle of rum smelly bum I don't know it's Christmas what do people do Christmas celebrate I should be watching telly watching telly telly yay yeah telly man so that's what I'm gonna do watch a bit of telly for an hour or so and then I'm probably gonna go beddy-byes and I hope that what's his name Vinnie will keep quiet I had to put his collar on and when I put it on him normally he stops barking because he
doesn't you know kind of it's got a psychological effect on him but I haven't put it on him hardly at all for the last week or so because well the last couple of days anyway last few days because he's been pretty good and he does get excited when it's time to go for a walk or whatever he does get excited he barks a bit but he's gonna bark he's a dog you know get excited I can't tell him off for being excited you know it's just the late night barking at every sound in the garden
and stuff I have to stop that because I don't be getting what I don't want neighbors complaining but at the same time I don't want to be jolted out of my sleep by that high-pitched barking it's just not good for me not good for my nerves nor good for me so hopefully as he gets older I guess as he becomes more used to living here and he realizes that he's here he's not going anywhere else this is his home unless we move you know he will be comfortable I guess he'll be secure instead of being
on edge and always like looking out and smelling and listening for stuff he'll be yeah hopefully a bit more calmer I hope my voice is getting croaky that's weird anyway I'm gonna go now so thank you for listening I just need some water I think Merry Christmas to you and I wish you all happiness and have a great boxing day and New Year's and all that and hopefully I'll make a recording tomorrow that's if I'm not too busy doing boxing things because it's boxing day anyway I'm gonna go thank you remember to be kind to
yourself because you deserve to be happy remember to be gentle with yourself take it easy on yourself just give yourself permission to relax lots of love bye-bye croaky voice by I was born under one star there go bye
