#1033 Another LIVE Youtube stream - Let me bore you to sleep

Hello, hello, hello everybody and welcome. Welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason Newland and my website is jasonnewland.com. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

So welcome to Baldi. It's a Baldi man, look. I'll slap it.

I'll shave my head. I know, exciting stuff. How can I have gone from three people watching to nobody watching straight away? Oh well.

Can you hear me okay? So those that are listening and I could actually go on to the page itself. Let me just see if I can hear anything because there's no sound. There's no sound.

There's no sound. Can you hear me okay? If not, then please let me know and I will correct the situation because there doesn't seem to be a sound coming from my computer for some reason and I don't know what it is. Nope, no sound on YouTube either, on Twitter, no sound on, has anyone got any sound on Facebook? Nope, that's weird.

What about now? Sound now? What about now? Is there sound? Why is there no sound? There should be sound. Apply me. Why is there no sound? Please, anybody? Can you hear me okay? Anybody there can hear me because I'm sitting here all alone.

I tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna try it again. No, because then it won't work because it will cut it off.

Why is it not got a sound? Hello? Hello? I don't know what to do. This is weird. Sound here.

Okay, Hairy Neck says sound here. Can everyone hear me? Right, so I can, can everyone hear me? So I've just posted a thing there because sound has been on since you started. Okay, I'm gonna plug this back in there.

So it should sound better with this and without it, because this is a microphone. Let me try my phone, see whether or not it could come out of that. It might just be the laptop.

For some reason, the laptop's not working properly. It's been playing up a little bit. So I'm just gonna say boo into the microphone.

Okay, what I'll do, I've got an idea. I'm gonna close everything down. Now start again.

Let me just see. Live. Oh, it's now working.

So the sound is, it's not very loud. It's not very loud, but it's not very loud. Is it? Does it sound very quiet where you are? Quiet.

I think my laptop is in trouble. Got a real problem with the sound on the laptop. I don't know why.

It's very strange. It's a, it's a weird one. Let's have a look.

Jason overland YouTube. So let's see if I can find if I play it. Accept all.

See if I can play this incognito. Like no sound. Blimey.

Well, clearly it's, it's, well, if you see with the laptop, I watched your drifting over the entire, I usually fell asleep before it's over. This is right. Thank you.

Thank you. Can you hear me? Okay. Can you let me, I'm gonna have to shut down my laptop and see whether or not I can get it to work.

What I might need an exception, unknown software exception shut down. Anyway, I'll tell you what I think might be. Sounds fine.

I want to get out for a second. Okay. I want to get my iPad and see if it works fine there.

So just wait. Wait a minute. Hold my stomach in.

Oh, block myself in. Really? Wow. Right.

Started off with three people now. Oh, now that the iPad's not working, I think it might be because I'm using the data to do a live broadcast. So everything's not really working the way it normally does.

Let me see. My channel. One watching.

One watching. Oh, all that for nothing. All that hassle and it's been working fine.

All that for nothing. All that hassle and it's been working fine. Okay.

I'll turn the volume down. Sorry about that. I'm going to do an introduction again.

I won't introduction. I won't do another introduction, but this is a bit rubbish as far as a podcast goes. Nevermind.

So I've had three likes. Thank you. And Harry Nick says, Happy 53 third birthday.

Thank you. 26 of August. It's not far away.

Thank you. Reaper says, Hello, Jason. I've watched your drifting relaxation videos many times over the years.

I usually fall asleep before it's over. Thank you, Reaper. And so, yeah, that says two people have been watching.

Now there's me, so I think there's only one person watching at the moment. Vinnie is on the floor eating a hairy pie, but he's not eating a hairy pie. He's eating like a bony thing or whatever that is.

So he's enjoying all that. Nice cup of tea. That's it, Vinnie.

Make a bit more noise, will you? I was going to grab him, but he doesn't like being picked up. I'd love to get him to, you know, show himself to you. He's sitting at my feet, but he just doesn't like to.

The second I put my hand down there, he will just run off. So Erez says, Oh, just wanted to hop in here and say thank you so much for your Let Me Bore You To Sleep series. You helped me through many sleepless nights, and I can't thank you enough for that.

Hope you'll stay healthy and continue to be amazing every day. That's Erez. Thank you very much.

That's very kind of you. Thank you. I should do more of these live sessions.

I get instant feedback. Well, from from the past, but it's still still nice to hear nice things. There's never never a wrong time to have a right thing happen.

I don't know where I'm going with this. But thank you. I do appreciate your kind words.

Shaved my head today. And in some ways, I probably more look more like Paul McKenna than I ever did before. But without the talent and the money, but and the fame.

But I can see with the glasses and the bald head, there is a little bit of similarity between me and him. So look a little bit like Paul McKenna. But that's about as close as we get.

He is a superstar hypnotist. And I'm I don't know what I am. I'm a boring fellow.

Very, very, very boring. Very, very, very boring. So yeah, if anyone's there that hasn't said hello, please say hi.

Say hi and just you know, let me know how you are. You know, I shared this with my Facebook pages. And I shared it with my on to Twitter as well.

Now with the Facebook pages, and my Facebook group, boring, Jason Newlands boring group. And you can join it's private, but you can join. Just go to my website, jasonnewland.com. Just click on the top link.

Or just search for it on on Facebook. I've got hair in my mouth. I still got these little bits of hairs to like, because there's so many hair got in the air.

Hair got in the air, you know, it's like bits of hair from my head and from my face and you know, places. So I don't want to mention there's places that I won't mention. I shaved places that so shaved areas that I won't mention, especially the person that lent me his razors.

I'm joking. So I was gonna say I was gonna say something. I hope the lighting's all right.

As I was doing this, it's still light outside, but it's not light inside enough to do a video, you know, be quite dull. And hopefully, because I'm using my my phone, because because it's connected directly to the internet with the data. And I've got connected my Tula microphone to the to the phone.

Now the one I did a couple of days ago, I didn't have a microphone plugged in. I just use the microphone from the actual camera. You know, from the phone, I found that very occasionally, very occasionally, there was a little bit of distortion, a little bit of a little metallic.

It wasn't a good impression, I was not a good impression of the sound I'm trying to portray. But, oh yeah, Twitter. So share this on Twitter, and you can actually watch it live on Twitter.

You just click the play button. I was amazed. Even if you watch it on Twitter.

I mean, blimey. I don't think I can even get onto Twitter on my iPad. Twitter, Twitter.

Nope. I'm not logged in there and I don't know what the password is or anything like that. I wonder what the stats are today.

I bet a lot of people are wondering that. Juicy JJ, what are the stats? Could you please tell us the stats of your podcast, please? No, I'm not going to share it. No one really wants to know.

Only me. I'm the only one. I'm the only one in the world.

Wow. So yeah. Starting 6pm UK time, live YouTube, 1000, number 1032.

1032. That's a lot, isn't it? That's a heck of a lot. Now, I was thinking, maybe, baby, maybe, perhaps I could potentially do a live session daily.

Now, when I decided to do today's session, it was about eight minutes to six. And I started to wonder if I wanted to do the recording or if I want to, you know, if I wanted to actually do it, because at least with a video recording, if it doesn't, you know, go so well, I can just delete it or with a podcast, I can edit it as well as a video session.

With a live broadcast, I can edit it, I can delete it or download it, edit it and then re upload it as a video.

But but then the thing is, I'm not sure. I'm not not not not not not sure whether or not the because this is different from when I do a Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast. I mean, it's different, obviously, because I'm talking into a camera.

It's even more different because I'm live. It's there's the difference because if you send me a message on here, I can respond there, here and now. But I don't get to do that on the podcast.

So I don't know if people would want to be listening to a live recording, even if it was recorded and they listen to it another time. It might not be the same as listening to a semi edited semi semi edited podcast. Hmm.

So I'm looking I think hairy neck. When did you start listening to my videos or watching my videos? It's a long time ago, isn't it? A long time ago. Now I remember you've had the same picture.

And the same name there. You've been watching my videos for a long time. I know I hadn't really been active on YouTube much over the last few years.

I started to pump a little bit of energy into it. A bit of pumping. But I don't.

It's not like how I used to be. You know, I've been making recordings or making recordings like this or pre recorded videos every day, pretty much. And whether it was a short chronic pain relief session in my bathroom, or a relaxation session in the counseling room while I was in between clients.

Whether it was the I made a few video recordings in the back of the Buddhist Center back in 2011. During the night time on a video camera, blimey. And the video camera was whirling along that we're we're we're it was it was coal, coal battery by coal, powered by coal.

It was like really a little bit like Popeye when I do that. I realized I can't do an impression of Popeye. And I'm not sure where to go with that.

I mean, it's not the biggest disappointment in my life, but it's something you know, I would have quite liked to have been able to pull that off. Never mind. So you've got Vinnie in the background chomping away.

I'll show you the things he has one day. I haven't got one. No, there is one on the floor somewhere.

And I'll show you they're like about that long. And the kind of got bony things. And they're shaped like a bone.

But they're not bone. But they're kind of like a ribbon kind of I don't know. He loves them.

Like a lot. So yeah, what other things are going on? I miss my laptop. I don't know what's going on with my laptop.

It's been playing up. I don't know if there's a virus on there or something. Not sure.

But I had problems with the audio. And bearing in mind, I only use the laptop really to make videos and images as well. I make images for the podcasts, images for the videos.

I do editing. So I make I edit short videos and longer videos as well on the laptop. I use the iPad to edit the audio.

Because part of the reason for that is I just there's a software that I prefer to use and it's on the iPad. So I just use that. I've been using it for a long time, years now.

And it suits its purpose, you know, kind of, I've got the desk over there, over there. And that's where I make the audio podcasts. Here is where I make the video podcasts.

Now, there is a microphone. And the only way I could show you is by moving the camera around and I can't be bothered, I can reach it. I just can't bother to move it.

So the microphone is just there. What I could do, and I've done it before, is move all that stuff over here. Have the microphone.

Have the microphone there. And record the podcast as I make the video. And then I can use the audio from the podcast.

And, you know, sync that with video and do that. Or I could have this like this, record the audio and have the audio, the live broadcast, you know, still recorded in a better quality sound for the podcast. I'm not sure what do you think? If anyone's listening? If there's anybody there? What do you think? Feels weird to have a shaved head.

I can't remember the last time I shaved my head. It's gotta be, blimey. It's gotta be before Christmas.

It's gotta be six months ago. Maybe February time. It's gotta be I haven't shaved my head for ages and ages.

Maybe it's not that long ago. Maybe it April. Because my hair wasn't long.

It wasn't like long, long, but it was getting there, you know. I went to the park with Vinnie to take him for a walk. And my neighbor's daughter, she's about six or whatever.

And she said, where's your hair gone? Where's your hair? And I started looking around on the grass because it's windy outside. I said, oh no, my wig. Where's my wig gone? You don't wear a wig.

I do. I used to. Until it blew off.

And we both laughed because I said blew off. And because that means far in this country. If you're a kid blowing off means farting.

If you're a little if you're a child. And what I used to when I was a kid, I don't know about now. It just blew off.

I don't know if it's still used. I wasn't allowed to say the word far until I was in front of my dad. I couldn't say the word far until I was about 45.

Yeah. Still can't swear in front of him. Can't say bloody.

I have to say blimmin. Blimmin heck. Not bloody hell.

Blimmin heck. What other vines? Yeah, I can't. I mean, yeah, I can't even say poo or crap.

Just just can't. I have to get away from those words. Which is hard, especially when I just he's just cooked dinner and he's asked me how if I like the dinner or not.

And I'm trying to describe how I felt about the food he just cooked me. And I can't say the word poo or crap. What do I do? What do I do? He's.

Oh, he hasn't cooked for me for years. I stayed with him when I was about 18. And all he had a microwave.

He did have a cooker. He didn't use it. He had a fridge to put stuff in the fridge.

He had cut boards to put stuff in. But he basically used a microwave and he ate and he used to cook for me and him. So there'd be a pie heated up in a microwave.

There'd be. Boiled boiled potatoes out of a tin, heated up in a microwave, and there'd be a tin of beans heated up in a microwave, and that would be the meal. Every meal that would be it because it had to be something that was easy to do.

And. To be fair, it worked. I can relate to that now because.

Kind of makes sense really, doesn't it? I mean, if you can get potatoes in a tin and they're already ready and you just have to just microwave them. And that makes sense to have them, doesn't it? I now want some potatoes out of a tin. Isn't it weird? I didn't want it.

That was not something I wanted before. Now that's all I can think about. It's weird.

I remember that house. Or the downstairs anyway. Very, very well.

It was, I forget what they call it, but it was. It was a nice house. It wasn't big.

But it was nice. It was new as a little garden. There was a conservatory.

I say new, maybe it wasn't new, but it wasn't old. It was quite a new house. Kitchen.

Living room. And you had this black chair that used to swivel around. And I used to love just by swiveling there, you know, turning around in it.

And I stayed with him three times. Once in 2018. No, 1988.

Blimey. 1988. And then it from about March until probably May.

And then I moved out and I moved in above the supermarket I was working at. And then I ended up getting kicked out. How many times have I been kicked out? Quite a few times.

Blimey, yeah. See, I'm saying blimey. I think I'm talking about my dad.

I can't say anything else. Blimey. Wow.

The second time I moved in there, beginning of 1989. Like January, I think. And I was there for probably about just a few weeks, a month, maybe month and a half, maybe two months even.

And then I moved out of there. And then I moved in again in 1990. Yeah, 1990 April time.

And I moved in there from April, May, June, July. I was there till about August. So it's about four months, I think I was there.

And the last time was the best time because he was at his girlfriend's, now his wife. He was spending most of his time there. So we were both working.

I was doing night shift. He was doing different shifts. So we really didn't see each other.

So it worked really well. And then he bought a new house. And he moved in there and I moved in with him and then I just found somewhere else to stay.

And that was it. So that's the last time. But yeah, I lived in three times.

The last time was the best though. I'd say the best holiday I ever had. As far as time off work.

The I had this job in a factory. And it was making meters like electric meters. And it's still one of the best jobs I ever had to be honest.

Probably one of the best places I ever worked. I worked there three times. And it was a good place to work.

It was people nice. The management were good, you know, start everything was good about the place really. When I first worked there, I worked in the old factory.

It was a bit grotty in there, it was a bit noisy. The second time I worked in the new factory, which was a second factory that the old factory was still running. And then I ended up working in the third factory.

So this is the third time I worked there. I worked in the second factory and then the third factory. And it was much I mean, it went, it was very like static free environment, white coats, very, you know, because making electric parts and stuff.

It was Yeah, I quite like it quite liked it. The first two times I worked there, I was putting meters in boxes and stacking onto pallets and stuff like that. And then when I went back the third time, I was actually on the conveyor belt.

I wasn't on the conveyor belt wasn't actually laying there. And why would I be? Why? So just be weird. But I, I can't remember like just taking me as a part taking the screw out and just doing one or two little bits, and then passing to the next person to do their bit.

And I was doing that nights, and I liked it. I like working nights. And because of the lighting in there, because of the way it was, didn't feel like nighttime until you went outside.

And had I wanted, you know, had I not wanted to move back to London and pursue a different kind of course in my life. I might have stayed there. Perhaps, you know, for a longer period.

But they they forced by force me, they told me that my shift was changing from night shift to alternative shifts. You know, six to was it six to two, six in the morning to two, not two in the afternoon, and then the next week, two in the afternoon to 10 at night. And that has never suited me never suited me at all.

One, one bit, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, just no. Nor for me, nor for me, nor. It's, I mean, even when I was doing insurance, selling insurance, my last company that I know my blimey, no, my second from last insurance company.

Before I moved into a different department. I, I asked to change my shift pattern, because I had different shifts, you come in one day, and then have different shifts, different weeks. And but there was one shift that a lot of people didn't like.

And that was the one to nine shift, or 12 to nine. No weekends. I don't think I know weekends, and you finish at two o'clock, or midday on a set on a Friday.

So it was longer hours, Monday to Thursday. The night, the nighttime or evening time, which people didn't want to work. But then leave an early on Friday.

That suited me. I mean, just thinking about now is getting me excited. As you can tell.

Internally, I'm jumping up and down. Internally, I literally am doing cartwheels. I'm just, just thinking about it, just remembering it.

It was like, wow. Everything. It was like, it just suited me.

It did. I think there was one Saturday a month. Something like that.

I don't know. But to have basically Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and Monday morning off, it almost felt like kind of three days off, in a way. And it did suit me.

It did. But then they changed it. And I had to go back on normal shifts again, for some reason.

A different company took over. But when I was at the factory, and they changed the shifts, when I was doing the meter, you know, working on the meters, electric meters, I didn't want to be on those shifts anymore. I wanted to stay on night shift.

And they were making redundancies. So I just thought, they're trying to push me out. Which they, you know, they know, I don't want to do that.

Maybe they didn't know. But I think I did ask, can I please stay on night shift? Because I genuinely like night shift. I've done night shift in one, two, one, two.

So I did night shift in the factory, did night shift in the bakery, in 91. And I did night shift multiple times. When I did security.

Just suits me. I'm better. I can I can be up all night.

I'm fine with that. It's cool. Even more now, because having a security job would be perfect for me.

Get sit down. I could literally just sit there and make videos and work on my website and work on the podcast and all that stuff. And do that for 12 hours during the night.

And then come home and go bed. And I've actually accomplished something. Compared to how it used to be.

I mean, I'm not saying people that do security don't accomplish anything. That's not what I was saying at all. And there's different types of security job, obviously.

The type I had most of it was very much sitting down, patrolling the building, but sitting down maybe at the reception for a couple of hours until all the staff left and then just guarding the building until morning. So usually everyone was gone by 10. And people, the cleaners maybe started coming in at five or six in the morning.

So there was all that time that I had that I could do things. I didn't do anything. Because there was no internet back then.

There was no I didn't. There was one place where the receptionist had an Apple computer. It was a publishers, very famous publishers, actually.

They did all of the major magazines at the time. I say all the major magazines, but they did things like Kerrang and what others I can't you tell you, Kerrang, Kerrang, Ker, Ker, Kerran. But also did.

I think they might did loaded. They might did. Publishers Development Hell Limited.

No. Kerrang Publisher. Okay.

Publisher. Very famous publisher. Kerrang.

Okay, maybe that's not the right one. However, was it loaded? Is it loaded? Loaded. Loaded Publisher.

Snip off David. Nope, that's not it. Come on.

I was searching it. What other magazines do they do? They did computer magazines. So PC World Peace, PC magazines.

That's it. I'm starting to have a little memory of the name. It's starting to come back to me.

It's not coming up on here yet. Who owns PC magazine. So that's not it.

But computer magazines. Computer. Computer magazines.

Media. Computer magazines. Computer magazines.

List of service providers. End of computer magazines in America. Begins with D. The name begins with D. Why? Top 10 computer magazines.

MCN. Computer World. So I'm guessing they still would be the same people.

Maybe not. Computer magazine publishers. Publishers.

Publishers. D. Why am I thinking of D? Top Bananas Tale. Olympia.

Publishers. Driver. Puppet.

I mean it might have changed. They might have moved and sold. You don't know do you? This was in London.

They might have. London Colourise. Consult.

That's just going to bug me if I don't find out who it is. Best computer magazines. If you put 80s.

Spectrum. 12 Greatest Tech Defunct Tech Magazines. Ever.

I love reading magazine covers. I'm going to look through. Vintage computer magazine collection.

Why can't I find it though? List of computer magazines. PC Gamer. So it doesn't say where it came from.

Mac. I tell you the worst part of that job in that place was once they called me. And this was because my shift would start during the week.

I do I think start at three in the afternoon until seven in the morning. Or eight in the morning. It's like six.

It was 16 hours or so. It was a long long shift. And I do sometimes do seven seven days a week.

Usually five or six. Weekends. There'd be people there on a Saturday but not a Sunday.

And the basement was like the heavy metal rock stuff. Upstairs was the computer stuff. Computer magazines.

And so one down there. One day I'm in there in the afternoon. And they come up to me and say, we need you to escort a member of staff out of the building.

I was like, whoa. Yeah, someone's been sacked, and you need to escort them out. Because they won't leave.

So what do you expect me to do? So I didn't say that. I didn't realize that would be part of my job. I really didn't.

Because I thought, well, let me see if I'm doing my job properly. I'm sitting down. I'm thinking about when am I going to eat my next bar of chocolate? That is the job description.

I'm here. I'm here. I'm actually physically here.

That at the time was the job description for what I was doing. Escorting people out of the building didn't really fit my idea of what my job entailed. They, they didn't see it that way.

So that was a very horrible experience. So for not just for me, but obviously for the other person. But I just went up to him and said, look, sorry about this.

Can I help you with the stuff? Because he had a tray of his belongings from his desk. And I just, I said, I know this is crap. But I looked around first to make sure my dad wasn't hiding under, under a table before I said crap.

I said, this is, but you know, nothing we can do about it really. And he said, yeah, fair enough. And we ran out of the fire escape.

I didn't even want him leaving out the front of the building, had to go out the back of the building where the car park was. And it was weird. Didn't, didn't like that.

I'm not sure why he didn't know why he, he, he was leaving or why he had to leave, but Dennis, Dennis, right list of computer magazines, Dennis publisher. Why that's just come to my brain. It's not on a screen.

UK. Dennis publishing. Look, Dennis publishing limited was a British publisher, was a British publisher.

It was founded in 1973 by Felix Dennis. Its first publication was a Kung Fu magazine. Whoa.

Dennis has since maintained a foothold. Okay. Right.

It's first at Kung Fu magazine. Most of its titles now belong to future PLC. In the 19, this is a Wikipedia.

In the 1980s, it became a leading publisher of computer enthusiast magazines in the United Kingdom. In the 1990s, it's expanded to the American market where it published the lifestyle magazines, Maxim, the consumer electronics magazine stuff, and the music magazine, Blender. Ah, so that's the music side.

Maybe that's what it was downstairs. Blender. I don't know why they thought they had Kerang.

In just remember this loads of posters were like heavy metal and stuff. In my memory, at least. In 2007, the company sold all its American holdings with the exception of the US edition of the week.

Felix Dennis passed away 2014, leaving ownership of the company to the charity organization, Heart of England Forest. In 2018, the company was sold to Exponent, a British private equity firm. That doesn't make sense.

If he left ownership to a charity organization, then they went and sold it to a private equity firm. Oh, well, what do I know? To be honest, I don't actually understand the sentences, but they sound weird. Future PLC acquired the company and its 12 titles in August 2021, absorbing them into future publishing.

So yeah, Felix Dennis started the magazine business in the late 1960s as one of the editors of the counterculture magazine, Oz. In the mid 1970s, Dennis Publishing was born, beginning with a Kung Fu magazine called Kung Fu Monthly. Cool.

Dennis followed this up in the early 1980s by publishing titles in the emerging computer enthusiast sector, including Your Spectrum. Sounds like a Bond movie, doesn't it? Oh, itchy balls. And later renamed Your Sinclair and sold to Future Publishing.

Dennis has since maintained a foothold in the computer magazine business until Maxim's success in the United States in the early 1990s. Computer magazines were the mainstay of Dennis's magazine holdings, second only to Future Publishing in the UK. So in 1987, the publisher was renamed from Sports Scene Specialist Press to Dennis Publishing.

And Dennis Publishing Inc. published one of the most successful modern men's lifestyle magazines in America, Maxim. 2.5 million rate base, along with Stuff, 1.3 million rate base, and a general interest music magazine, Blender, 800,000 rate base.

I guess that's the amount of copies they sell. In 2005, Maxim Radio was launched on Sirius Radio. I'm going to skip through this.

So I worked in their office, the building, their head office, or their London office. In January 2008, Dennis Publishing acquired the online site, news site, The First Post. In 2012, Dennis Publishing produced more than 50 magazines, increases group pre-tax profits by 34% year on year from 4.1 million to 5.5 billion million.

Group turnover excludes shares of more than 70 million. Okay, more you don't really need to know. I'm interested in the publications.

Here we go. Dennis Publishing titles up to okay included Auto Express, Car Buyer, Car Throttle, Channel Pro, Cloud Pro, Couch, Computer Active, Cyclist, Driving Electric, Evo, Fortean Times, I used to buy that, IT Pro, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, Minecraft World, Money Week, PC Pro, bought that a few times in the past, The Week, and Viz. I want to see more.

I want to see more. I want to see more of the magazines. Let's have a look.

oh it's a love heart thank you thank you Ann if anyone says it's boring it's like okay good, if they say it's too interesting good I don't get a huge amount of people telling me that it's too interesting but a couple of people said you're just such an interesting person I was on the edge of the seat wondering what you're going to say next especially when you told that story about when you worked in the factory and you used to put meters into boxes and then you worked in the same

factory three times and there's three different factories and you had a night shift they'd change your shift and you didn't want to be on that shift anymore because you wanted to do night shift and then you you left and then you remembered about another time when you did have a shift, it was in the afternoon and you liked that like early evening and it was just the most invigorating,

interesting stimulating story I've ever heard and I can't wait till the next episode so I can hear more maybe if you take requests perhaps you can tell us about times that you've cut your toenails maybe you can remember the first time you cut your toenails I do remember though cutting toenails was much easier when my toes were little did I do it myself?

I'm pretty sure I didn't used to do it myself and I used to do it after having a bath so the toenails were nice and soft and it used to tickle I'm not sure if it tickles when you do it yourself I'm talking about toenail cutting by the way does it tickle when you do it yourself?

I'm not sure anyway I'm going to go so thank you for listening thank you for watching and I shall be back again with another podcast maybe not live but you know I've got a podcast anyway maybe a video podcast you never know tomorrow so thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy do something nice to yourself today be gentle with yourself lots of love bye now I've got to figure out a way of turning this off without it looking like I'm turning it off I need to get like bendy arms so what's it?
