(no music) #1100 - Q&A Friday (3) - Let Me Bore You To Sleep (Jason Newland) (19th April 2024)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name's Jason and please only listen when you can. Safely close your eyes.

And today, oh today, what could today be? It could be Friday and you know what Friday means? Friday means Q&A Friday. Question and answer Friday. Yep, this is the new tradition in the Let Me Bore You To Sleep world.

Q&A Friday. I don't know what that sound was for. Vinnie is, as he normally does, as soon as I turn the computer on.

Not the computer but the recording thing on. Oh by the way, for those that listened to yesterday's Let Me Bore You To Sleep, I actually titled it. I don't know if this is recording.

I'm not sure if this is recorded. I had it on mute but only one side. So it ended up only recording, didn't record in both ears as it were.

Only recorded so one side and that was the side that I can hear through the headphones. So it was on mute but it did record. So the overall file, there was nothing on it but the whole recording was on another file which was, I don't know, half the size or whatever.

So yeah, it's basically, I just, I pressed the wrong knob. I touched the wrong knob. We've all been there, come on.

So this new thing, Let Me Bore You To Sleep Q&A Friday is basically, it's, did I say Friday Q&A or Q&A Friday? I think Q&A Friday sounds better. Oh yeah, I did call it Q&A Friday. I'm a genius, it just never stops.

So I figured, I did two last week. Now I think I did the second one on a Friday. I can't remember, it's forever ago.

So this is gonna be the third Q&A Friday even though the last one was in two parts. Technically, considering I've got a lot more questions this time, this one could be in about four parts but I'm gonna do it in one, one part. I'll say do it in one, I might actually have to do part of it, take him out and then come back and do part of it again because I think he's dewer, he's dewer poo or something.

He was a wee machine this morning. Honestly, we went out and he did, he can do like 12 second wees. Normally he crouches down to do 12 second wees but he'd bark in there.

Right, I'm gonna close the door. I'm gonna close the door Vinnie, I can't have you barking. No, no, if you bark you'll have to go into the bedroom.

You're so good most of the time. So good, you're staying here with me. You've got a treat to play with.

I just need to calm down. I can't play music because I can't have music in the background with what I'm making a recording because I suppose I could but it just, it'd be distracting. I could have music added to it which is what I do post edit or edit.

It's not really post edit is it? Anyway, so this is, I don't know if I should just call this Q&A Friday three but here we go. I did send a reminder. So I did, I sent a post and anyone that follows what I do will be very much aware that I rarely, really, really, really, really plan ahead.

But this week I did, I did and I posted this three days ago according to this. I think it was Monday. Although it says three days I reckon it was Monday I posted it and I posted next Q&A podcast this Friday the 19th of April 2024.

Post your questions here. Kissy, kissy, kissy, kissy, kissy. So I've had nine comments.

I've not replied to any of them because I'm replying to them in the podcast so I hope that's okay. If you don't think I've ignored you and I posted a quick reminder today. Just a reminder I'm making Q&A Friday today.

Last chance to send questions and I've had four. So in my accounting that's nine plus four that's more than seven isn't it? So I mean I think I only had five or six last week so it's quite a few. So I should do my best so I'll let you know who's left comments and hopefully I'll be able to to remember them all.

So let's have a look all comments. Oh okay so from all comments Kate, Christine, Robin. Robin asked two questions.

I don't know Robin. I don't know if you get to ask two. That seems a little bit excessive.

A little bit, a little bit. Oh two questions. I'll see what I can do.

Oh where are we? Blimey. I should just get on with it really shouldn't I? But Jenny, Jove, Leah as in Star Wars, Frankie or Francie and then today's updated one. There is all comments.

Cindy, Diana and Joanne. So I'll start from the first lot which was earlier in the week and then I'll move into into the next one. So I took Vinnie.

Actually what I've done today. Yesterday I was very pleased with my workout out outcome out well whatever the word is. Yeah whatever I did.

I was pleased that I did a few bits and I made three podcast episodes or three recordings. I call them podcasts now but they never used to be called podcasts when I did them before. They would just be recordings.

I didn't really think of them as podcasts even though although I would put them on a podcast for me they they were separate entities within themselves. So I did a Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Let me just have a look.

I did a Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Not sure if this recorded. So it's 1099.

That was yesterday. Then I did a sleepy boring objects Nanny Newland. What inspired me to do that one is because somebody posted a comment telling me they like my sleepy bored objects.

Mops the version called mops which I thought I'll do another one. I've also got a deep sleep whisper hypnosis number 514 slowing time in your mind and the sleepy boring objects was number 36. Mind you I did number I did a sleepy boring objects the other day didn't I? No? Sure I did.

Oh well and today today I did a a new Jason's a bedtime story time which was number 30 and it's called Frogtopia. Let me have a look at that. I just want to check.

I'm a little bit confused. A little bit confused. So I did a bedtime story time and sleepy boring objects 36.

When was the last sleepy boring objects one I did? Playlists. Sleepy boring objects. Sleepy.

Sleepy. Sleepy. Sleepy.

Sleepy. Boring boring boring objects. Oh 35.

So number 35. So I did number 36. The last one I did was called Karate and that was the 7th of March last year.

Wow 7th of March last year. So yeah it's been a year and more than a year and I don't know five weeks. Blimey.

So the first question. The first question. You can hear Vinnie's.

What is he doing? Oh he's chewing on a bone. Cool. So the first question is from Kate.

I won't say anyone's surname but you'll see that if you join Jason Newland's boring group on Facebook and then you get an opportunity to ask me questions for future Q&A Fridays. It's the only way you get to ask me questions is if you join the group. It's a private group but you'll be added just to apply.

Jason Newland's boring group. It's the best place to have to be able to contact me. So Kate says why do you.

Oh it's here. It's here. Oh she didn't say that.

She said why do you create a YouTube video when you also say only listen only listen when you can safely close your eyes. Do you have more listeners on YouTube or podcast? I'll answer that back to front. Way more listeners on podcast.

I have very few listeners on YouTube. I'll be honest with you I don't. There's no point lying.

It's true. I have a very small audience on YouTube. I'll give you the stats.

See I'll give you the stats man. YouTube studio. Let's have a look.

So my YouTube channel I've got 1187 subscribers and analytics say lifetime video views according to this is 140,179 views so far. So it's very small and the last 28 days I've had 2,281 views. So as you see it's a very very very small amount.

I mean the lifetime is from wow 16th of March 2018. 140,000. And so was that 10.

That's not even 14. That's probably like 14, 15 days of a podcast and it has six years of YouTube. So yeah it's not not a lot.

Not a lot. Last 365 days 36,732 plays. And on my podcast so let's have a look at the insights.

So what did it say there? 36,732 plays in the last 365 days on my podcast. I've got three podcasts but there's the Let Me Bore You To Sleep and then there's the other one which is kind of the main one for all of my stuff. Hypnosis For Sleeping Deeply.

So for the last seven days I've had 40,236 plays in seven days compared to 365 days 336,000. So I've had more than last seven days than I have in the last year on YouTube. And it's not very impressive is it really? I don't know why I'm telling you this but it's just the way it is.

That's how things is on YouTube. I try and add stuff and I've now been adding my podcasts just so people have got the option to watch if they choose or listen rather. But the reason I say listen is why do I say listen when you can safely close your eyes? I'm just used to saying it.

I realize on YouTube I should say watch or listen or watch you know because it's YouTube and it's a video. I assume that people will be closing their eyes when listening to a you know relaxation video. So but if they're watching it whilst in traffic or something stupid like that then only listen when you can safely close your eyes because they'll also be listening.

I mean if they have the volume down it's going to make no difference to them because my videos their base is not really going to make any difference. Not going to not going to make them sleepy or anything I guess. Why would you watch a video without the sound? Well okay okay there is way times where perhaps you would but you know generally not when you're in your car.

Not when people can see you. So Christine thanks Kate that's I think I've answered those two questions. Christine says who would your celebrity dinner guests be and why? Celebrity dinner guests well people that are alive now.

I'm going to I'm going to go live or am dead. I'm going to do two different versions there. Sometimes that kind of question who would your ideal people be dead or alive.

I'm going to do I think dead separate to alive because it makes it a little bit less awkward. And I guess it's a little bit less smelly for the live people as well. So I'm going to do live first.

Anyone that's alive now that I would like to meet celebrity wise. As a dinner guest one would probably be a comedian. Stuart Lee.

I used to know him like as on the comedy circuit and he's is a phenomenal one of probably the best comedians I'd say in the world actually. But I don't know and someone that I'd like to I guess I'd go for people I've never met before and I'd like to meet and I'd be excited about meeting. So celebrities are around now that I'd be excited to meet.

And I can't think of anyone let's have a look. Sorry about the noise outside every every time I do a recording. This just the high pitched noises and the very loud you can hear that every time.

We had this this woman lived over there. She didn't live over there but she was a boyfriend lived over there and had a kid together and she'd come around every day and screaming and shouting and all that stuff. And eventually he moved so it's like a bit of peace that years of that and now this one's moved in and it's just it's like a it's just like a constant wave of sorry it's just whatever it is but it's constant noise.

It's not their fault they can't help it. As a kid kids kids make noise. I know I did but Peter can't keep keep her indoors until I finish my podcast.

Just keep the noise down just just for an hour an hour a day please. Yeah not reality is it. Who would my guest celebrity guest be? I can't even think of anyone famous that I'd particularly be bothered about meeting.

Because there's comedians but I know that just from experience a lot of comedians are very grumpy and then I don't think it'd be much fun meeting my comedy heroes. Not all comedy not all comedians are grumpy but the ones I've I've been around a lot and they're they're not the personas that you see on on on the stage generally or on the screen. I mean I love Richard Pryor but I'm sure he was one he was be held to be around off stage or off screen but that's enough of my dead guests because he would be on that list anyway just because he's one of my heroes.

Oh blimey this is terrible isn't it? Who would I choose? Live famous people. I'm just trying to think of movie stars. I think Sydney Sweeney is one.

I've just got a little bit of a thing for her at the moment I don't know why. A little bit of a um I don't know I've seen a couple of her movies and I got just I got a little bit of a a little bit and it's a weird one but a little bit of a crush on her I think at the moment just a little bit it's weird.

Sydney Sweeney is and she's always in like really she's a really good actor and I just find her quite fascinating to look at just like the facial expressions and um yeah so her uh what else? As long as she didn't bring her boyfriend uh who else? Singers.

Billie Eilish fascinates me a bit. I quite like to meet her and her brother because they're both very fascinating people just possibly musical geniuses I don't know just something about them and if we go back to old you know old celebrities people have been around my whole lifetime um uh what about singers?

So singers I've done Billie Eilish but well haven't you know what I mean and Billie Eilish, Rihanna but then I'll just be going through women that I fancy so but I like Rihanna because she's I like her I like the earlier stuff I was really she's been around forever now okay boxers that would be an obvious one wouldn't it boxers who would I like to meet in the boxing world?

It'd be interesting to meet Tyson Fury I'd like to meet Joe Joyce I'd like so as I want Joe Joyce it'd be a boxing dinner that's what it'd be to be honest not that bothered about uh meeting celebrities there's no one I'm particularly that bothered about really but boxers that's a different thing so um it would be David Benavidez it'd be all the main boxers that I like because that would be a meal that I'd look forward to going to yeah it's weird isn't it that's probably that's probably what I'd

like to do as far as people who are live it's not I mean Billie Eilish and the people I mentioned wouldn't be that bothered but boxers definitely the the ones that I really like like as I said David Benavidez Tank Davis um there's so many to be it would be a big dinner it would and Tyson Fury would be there Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson so there's some heavyweights uh Fabian Fabio Wardley Joe Joyce so you need a lot of food because they're big lads and the good thing about it

is I'll be sitting at a table and I wouldn't feel big because they're all way bigger than me it's nice so I wouldn't feel overweight not that any of them are overweight but I'm just you know you know I mean if you've got a giant sitting next to you it's it puts things into a little bit of a proportion doesn't it you know you've got Tyson Fury uh seven foot giant sitting next to you he's about what's that my 5'8 he's more than a foot higher than me so he literally

I would feel I'd feel little compared to him other boxers I'd like to there there are heroes from the past in the boxing world that I'd like to meet so someone like Lloyd Hunnigan well I had met once but he didn't it was just I was at work and he turned up and he had to move his car that was a tv studio that I was security for back in 1996 yes um so Lloyd Hunnigan Nigel Benn Chris Eubank um just people like you know Hearns I think you'd be interested

to meet Larry Holmes a lot of the different fighters from the past that I that I admired and used to love watching uh Sugar Ray Leonard's boxers of today there's this there's so many there's so many but it would be a very very big big big dinner literally not just it'd be a big table you need a big table quite a few big chairs you'd have to have different size different level of the table you probably have to have like one that just kind of goes up so you'll have the

the featherweights at the bottom and you'll have me and I'll probably be in the middle and then the real heavyweights would be at the top and they'll need a higher level so Barry McGrigan that was one of the heroes I had when I was younger he was a boxing hero um Nassim Hamid Prince Nassim oh why how did I forget him yeah he's it was one of my all-time favorite boxers ever like in the history of boxing as was Hagler as was Hearns as was Nigel Ben as was Hunnigan Lloyd

Hunnigan these were people that I absolutely loved watching and Roy Jones Jr but although I didn't really get to appreciate how great he was because his fights were not on terrestrial television so I didn't get to see a lot of his fights I got to see the ones at the tail end of his career but not the ones when he was in his prime when no one could touch him you know Roy Jones Jr once he played a basketball game I think professionally the same day that he played that he

fought a world title fight the same day either before or afterwards I'm guessing probably before basketball would probably be in the afternoon I mean really who does that I don't do either but you know I'm just saying this is kind of a I'm surprised he was allowed insurance wise I'm surprised any insurance company would cover a boxing event where one of the the main boxers is going to be in another sporting event where he could get injured because think about it imagine how much the basketball team would get sued by

the boxing promoters for ruining you know a multi like world title fight wow anyway so it'll be boxers yeah it'll be boxers now people that are dead or that are no longer alive no longer no longer is with us so I would have a celebrated dinner for people that are no longer with us that list would be different it wouldn't it there'd be some boxers Rocky Marciano probably Muhammad Ali there'd be a lot you know but to do Marvin Hagler so there'd be a few there and I would then move

into film stars Jimmy Stewart he'd have to be at the head of the table although to be fair if Jane Mansfield decided she wanted to sit in the chair that I had you know allocated for Jimmy Stewart I'd let her do anything she wanted anytime she wanted any moment any this is just she said get rid of all the other guests I would so yeah I think Jane Mansfield because um bearing in mind she was I think she was gone before I was even born I've seen a lot of stuff

and you think oh she's because how she looks obviously no it isn't I've seen documentary about her and where she's been interviewed she was super super intelligent she was funny yeah she was beautiful I didn't hurt but wow I I kind of was watching this documentary falling in love with her and I've been a fan of hers all my life ever since I was a kid I used to watch her movies when I was a kid and since the internet's been around I've been able to watch more like old footage

of her um being interviewed and she's amazing and I know I know in reality I wouldn't have been the body type she went for because she was with a Mr Universe or something so a bodybuilder so I know I wouldn't stood a chance until she got to her 50s or something maybe I would have done then but I still would have only been about 10 so yeah Jane Mansfield was you didn't ask me my my crowd no one's asked me what women are like or maybe they have um but Jane

Mansfield and some people say oh Marilyn Monroe no no Jane Mansfield uh as far as there's a few over the years but I won't talk about not here to talk about that just it's a celebrity guest Jimmy Stewart Jane Mansfield Richard Pryor George Carlin I'll probably get Red Fox in there as well um I would have boxes I've already I've already mentioned the boxes that are passed away so I'll add all those ones the ones I mentioned before so that'd be Marvin Marvelous Hagler Marvelous Marvin Hagler did you know I

might mention this before Marvin Hagler his nickname was Marvelous Marvin Hagler and that's how he wanted to be presented as he walked into the ring and one day he was announced but it was just Marvin Hagler and you got to bear in mind that he was at the time one of the greatest boxers of his era he beat everyone he was unbeaten at this point and he was marvelous he was a very marvelous man so he was upset because he asked please call me Marvelous Marvin Hagler which is normal you

know Hitman Hearns uh the Dark Destroyer for um Nigel Benn nicknames are just standard Money Mayweather I mean first of all he's Pretty Boy Mayweather then he changed his name to Money Mayweather but then I think it was was uh oh I was trying to think there's another one um Larry I don't know but anyway so I'd have those the boxers who else would I have singers but as the obvious well obvious to me Elvis uh that's a cliche I had Michael Jackson there I'd have Whitney Houston I'd have Sinead

O'Connor I'd have the my favorite female singer pretty much of all time just specifically for her voice was oh what's her name from the Cranberries uh Della Della Dolores Dolores from the Cranberries the best just a voice that I could listen to well I do still listen to it now I'm not listening to it right now but I'm saying see hey etched in my mind um so I would have her and just say to her look what the hell her and Sinead O'Connor to be fair her Sinead O'Connor and Michael

Jackson and Whitney Houston just get him in a like huddle and say what the hell why but hey there's enough politics it's like why just Whitney Houston I loved Whitney loved like I probably never I loved the voice of Dolores I loved the voice of Whitney but also to me she's like like an angel kind of you know angelic voice angelic face just just phenomenal just thought she was beautiful person but hey and I'd like to I'd like to hear people I'd like hear them sing so that's what I'd like

I guess really I'd quite like to hear Michael and Sinead and Dolores and uh what's her name Whitney all kind of having a little jamming session and that'd be cool George Michael as well George Michael um and it'd just be and you know not just George Michael I'd also like Andrew Ridgely there as well because I think George Michael deservedly got a huge amount of credit for Wham but George Michael so people forget George Michael was a heartthrob but so was Andrew Ridgely see people forget that and some would argue

that Andrew Ridgely was actually better looking you know some would argue and he was a heartthrob they were both heartthrobs yeah you know you look back in history it's like oh George Michael he he was he was Wham no both of them was Wham both of them you know just like Bross uh they originally had a a bass player or was it a keyboard player called Craig and then uh then they both kind of went on together like the the the the singer and it might I don't know maybe he

was a keyboard player or the drummer a drummer I think and see to me they both got a lot of like uh Luke now Matt who's Matt he got a lot of the attention but I think Luke was just as attractive as Matt just as attractive check out Bross to see what I mean tell me our Bross and Luke our Bross our Matt and Luke are Bross I look at a picture of them they look different now one hasn't got any hair anymore I think but if you look at Matt

and Luke from Bross from late 80s tell me I mean they're equally as good looking aren't they just just check it out let me know what you think for those that don't know who Bross is um I'd be happy just for Jay Mansfield just to turn up to be honest as long as she didn't bring her boyfriend her bodybuilding boyfriend that'd be annoying and yeah it'd be my luck just my luck you know that's a weird conversation but yeah so um Richard Fryer I think I mentioned Richard Fryer didn't I

Jimmy Stewart there's probably a lot more that I haven't mentioned old people that I admire from the past that I've not mentioned um so I've missed a few people out Sam Kinison would be one John Candy I always found John Candy to be so lovely on stage or on on film always came across just so nice um yeah so that's that's kind of it I've gone too long talking about that I realized but hey that's kind of what I seem to do for some reason if you need to sleep on

my feet I have to move my feet to get a bit of circulation uh who would be your celebrity dinner guests and why so the boxers because I'm a big boxing fan and I don't it's not even that I'd have questions necessarily it'd just be cool to see them chatting you know it'd just be cool to I mean Fabio Wardley he doesn't even live well he's from a town near where I live and a friend my friend's mum even knows his family but I just I can't be a fan boy

I can't just like try and make an excuse to go up and see him and say oh can I autograph please because that just seems weird seems like a weird thing to do but I'm a big fan of his uh I have been since he started a few years back oh well so the next question I hope that answers uh Kate and Christine's questions uh the next one is Robin Robin what life advice would you offer to a young kid you know this is going to sound really there's a few

things this this one first one is going to sound conceited it's going to sound also what's the word where you tell people not to do things that you've done um so it's yeah it's kind of but I would say this from a from a experiential situation but at the same time depends how young the kid is there's certain things you can't really talk about to a I guess to a young kid and I definitely wouldn't say this about a parent parental you know uh allowance because you know it's not my

place but what I would say let's say if it was my kid I had a young kid I would say and it's a cliche keep away from girls no I wouldn't um if it's whether it's a boy or girl doesn't matter I say keep away from drugs don't have anything to do anyone that does drugs now I know it's a hard one and I know that it's going to get hard for people when they get to their teenage years and maybe they're around people that are puffing and you know whatever

but I or I would say don't ever ever take drugs other than prescription you know if it's medical medical thing I'd also add to that don't drink alcohol but again that's a hard one because the society we're in and and be careful with alcohol would be probably my more my thing be careful with it but definitely keep away from drugs don't take drugs of any kind recreationally or self-medicationally either because I think a lot of people take it as self-medication alcohol drugs and stuff so you know that's one of the

things I'd say I don't know how I would put it though if it was a young kid because you know you can't say that to a five-year-old don't take drugs what's drugs it's like go up to their parents he said I shouldn't take drugs I should keep away from girls I know I didn't mean to so yeah other things I would it's hard because young kids their brains are not developed I'm not sure if any of our brains ever get properly developed but whatever we say to a kid especially if

it's not our kid is going to be very much not really necessarily taken in because you know kids well all of us from the age of zero to seven those are our main years of learning so all our unconscious processes seem to be built that at that time it is kind of established in psychological terms it doesn't mean we can't learn new ways of doing things of course we do because we learn new things constantly but there's a lot of unconscious processes going on that go back to when we were

like five and four and three and things we see parents and other adults and other kids do and there's so much stuff that we take in that it's hard to yeah it's a very strange one if I could change that question to what life advice would I give to a young kid that they would definitely take don't do drugs so I'm quite I'm quite I never used to be but I'm very anti-drugs these days for a good reason for a very very good reason and it's personal but it's for a

very good reason and I'm not a big fan of alcohol either for again for a very good reason but at the same time I'm not on this planet to stop other people doing what they want to do so I do believe in freedom so you know I'm not like ban all alcohol no because that doesn't work it's been tried and it didn't work did it but yeah that's probably it as far as philosophical advice be yourself or possibly even more important find out what you love doing find out what you

love doing doesn't matter what it is as long as it doesn't hurt another person doesn't hurt anyone and it doesn't hurt yourself you know that that's the two criterias that are very important I mean you could say what if they want to get into boxing because you're both going to get hurt you're hurting others and you're getting you hurt yourself fair enough there's there's always a way around the answer isn't there but find what you I would say find what you're brilliant at that you also love doing it's kind of

a twofold one because we're all I believe we're all really good at something I'm not going to limit it to just one thing but I believe we're all really really good at something whether we've discovered that thing or not is another thing it's another question and we might be really really good at something but not realize that we're even better at something else but we never we'll never find that out because we we haven't looked where our life hasn't taken us in that direction I mean there I bet you there

are for example there are probably people out there you know in the world who could be I don't know could be like have amazing brains for physics for example but they're never bothered it wasn't something that they're interested in so they didn't didn't pursue studying physics or studying astronomy or studying mathematics for example they might be averaging maths but had no interest in it but had they been interested in it they might have discovered they were actually a genius at mathematics that they had the ability to change the world and

in my little own my little brain I have the idea that everybody has the opportunity everyone has within them the ability to change the world in some way and that's why I want to come to my one of my favorite songs what's it called in some small there's a song and it's called in our small way by Michael Jackson it's him when he was a kid so the Jacksons Jackson 5 or whatever and it's one of those ones that's going to be played at my funeral if I have a say

so here's how it goes maybe you I think he talks this bit maybe you and I can't do great things we may not change the world in one day but we still can change some things today in our small way I didn't realize that word was can't I thought cam because in America you maybe you can can do great things it sounds the same as because here we say can and can't but in a different accent can and can't it's kind of it's sounds very similar so maybe you and I

can't do great things we may not change the world in one day but we still can change some things today in our small way empty words are not enough where there's hurt will be a crush what when there's thirst we'll fill each other's cup because we care we love enough to share maybe you and I can't do great things we may not change the world in one day but we still can change some things today in our small world in despair will be the hope and the prayer that frees the

soul we'll be there to share each other lonely nights because we love I know we care he was 10 years old come on but it was I like the idea of it you know we can still make a change there's an old philosophy tale wherever there's a bloke he's on a beach and there is millions of starfish and by that I don't mean bums bumholes starfish actually starfish on the beach washed up and this man or this person man woman child I don't know it's a story I don't know if

it's real or not anyway they were chucking in starfish back into the ocean and someone came along said why are you bothering with that that's not going to save them it's not going to make a difference to this situation and the man chucking the starfish back into the ocean said no it's not going to help all the ones out there but it's gonna make a difference to this one's life I think it was a bit more punchier than that I think it was a bit more shorter and a bit more

pithy but so I didn't really do it justice I probably shouldn't have mentioned starfish and bums but that probably didn't help with the story either but that was one of my stories that I remember from the past most of the stories I remember from the past so what advice would I give to young kids I mean some say like find your passion there's that one but I just like yeah I guess it's the same way as saying find your passion but find something you're really good at that you love doing

and also maybe find something that you really love doing that you don't like that you're not good at you know that you love doing but it's actually not good at but something you really I think you can have both together separate and so you can have a happy life if you find something that you're brilliant brilliant at doing that you enjoy doing it maybe you're not passionate about it but you enjoy doing it and and you can have a you know the rest of the time when you're not working you

can do something that you absolutely adore doing but it doesn't bring you any money or whatever or perhaps you're not very good at it but you just love doing it and so yeah I guess just find what you love doing find out what you love doing and I suppose you know find your passion maybe that's the same thing but I think loving doing something is more than passion I think I think your passion in kind of a romantic way that's probably wrong but is it strange that every now and then

I think of this job I had as a cleaning job going back to 1990 I'm walking through this alleyway with a bunch of people all walking to work it just happens everyone went to work at the same time for two hours cleaning this uh block of block of offices on the docks and there was this girl there she was probably a little bit younger than me maybe 18 19 I was 20 I think maybe 19 20 and even now and this is what 100 years ago every now and then I

still think of her because it's one of the most just outstanding humans I've ever met in my life females I've met it just blew me away and I wanted to talk to her and everyone every time I went to talk to her I was like I just couldn't couldn't talk to her and she was really open really friendly wasn't stuck up or anything like that which she just she was just nice very seemed like she was quite secure within herself um whatever that means but I couldn't talk to her because

she was too beautiful I remember once I kind of uh yeah I suppose I needed a mop to clean up some vomit and uh I said excuse me to one of the the other ladies but she turned around the one that I liked she turned around said yeah what is it Jason don't know how she knew my name I did have a name badge maybe I don't know I'm making it up and all I did was just like point to the ground and say vomit vomit vomit vomit and she just

like looked at me like I was weird not the first time I've seen that expression and not the last I've seen that expression on people's faces especially women's faces many times over the years so yeah I don't know also I would say if to a young kid if you meet someone you like and they like you providing those there's no legal infringements go for it if you find happiness go for it that's that would be my thing I have totally messed up in the past with situations like that and not

that I particularly want to give a young kid you know romantic advice because that wouldn't be appropriate I guess but but then telling not not to do drugs probably wouldn't be appropriate either find what you love doing so that I want to put that down as it um oh Robin another one from Robin do you like music if so favorite band or singer yeah doesn't everyone like music I just figured everyone does um yeah I love music I like the different things different things so I'm a little bit stuck in

the 80s as far as my favorite songs yeah because that was my era really I was born in 1970 but my era as far as music goes would be late 70s and 80s you know the period when I was at school when I would very much be aware of what songs were in the charts I'd follow it I really follow it watch Top of the Pops every week and I had a magazine called Looking which I'd get every week and it focused very much on the bands and the pop singers

as well as actors and stuff but very much on music so yeah these days I like music as in I like listening to classical music and I quite like the pan pan flute as well but I like music different varieties of music I like I like listening to some of the old well you know the original I say original like Beethoven back um drums I don't know different very famous musicians from the past and yeah I like all I mean even back in we're going back to when I was about

11 10 11 I used to like to listen sit lay down on the bed and listen to soundtracks from movies so like from Superman Star Wars the spaghetti western movies okay that's probably not how it went but yeah I used to like listening to that used to chill me out but I also used to I've been a fan of 60s 50s 60s uh singers as well so I was very much I like the Beatles loved Elvis I love the Beatles but loved Elvis uh and then there was other people like

Buddy Holly even I'm talking like when I was 14 15 14 maybe I don't know I had a real thing about Buddy Holly I'd listen to him every day it's just I wanted to be him well I didn't want to be him but I wanted to be someone that could write songs that good but to be that prolific in such a short period of time because he was a young young man when he left and he produced so many songs um it would have been very interesting to see what he

would have accomplished had he been around for a lot longer because how long how old was he 22 years old and blimey come on man 1959 he passed away 22 and he released I don't know how many songs he released that I like that were in fact the Wikipedia page right doesn't even have room to put his discography on has to have a separate page and this is someone that only lived to 22 uh he only did two studio albums and I did three sorry three studio albums one in 1957

and two in 1958 and compilation albums I think a lot of stuff happened after he was gone so there's been a lot a lot of them a lot in fact the last one was 2018 but these are the singles hmm so 1956 to 1959 what's that three years so well 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 it's just ridiculous how many songs he did I mean I'm gonna list these songs and you're

gonna know them whether or not you're a Buddy Holly fan or not providing you're over the age of 50 or something I don't know 40 or 50 if you're really young and you're not a Buddy Holly fan then you might not know the songs but these there's a lot of famous songs I might miss some out because I've just don't remember the title so that'll be the day Peggy Sue Every Day every day things are getting faster going faster than a roller coaster and then you got oh boy I'm gonna

tell you how it's gonna be you're gonna give your love to me oh is that oh boy um not fade away or is that is that I'm gonna tell you don't wanna gonna love it's gonna be real for you to show don't how I feel I love my way don't fade away okay that was fade away oh boy that's a different one so so and then you got I'm gonna love you I don't know about that one listen to me so listen to me I don't know if this was a

hit but it's like listen to me hear what I say our hearts will be closer each day hold me darling listen closer to me something like that I told the stars that you're my only love I want to love this journey I've seen bright stars from here in the back of our house something like that um maybe baby maybe baby I have you maybe baby you be true maybe baby I had you for me uh then you got rave on rave on rave on and tell me tell me not to

be lonely lonely and I've got think it over think it over what you just said think it over in your pretty little head are you sure that I'm not the one is your love real I only found just sing it over just sing it over because all your heart grows cold and old so so many it's so easy it's so easy to fall in love it's so easy to fall in love oh man there's so many brilliant songs there's ones that I don't remember real wild child I don't know that

one heartbeat heartbeat do do do do do do do do do see I don't remember that one until it was on a tv show called heartbeat and it's like oh okay but then you got it doesn't matter anymore well I guess it doesn't matter anymore there you going baby here on my way you left me here so I could sit and cry well golly gee what have you done to me well I guess it doesn't matter anymore and you got raining in my heart the sun is out the sky is

blue there's not a cloud to spoil the view and it's raining do do do do do do raining in my heart so that's that's that one Peggy Sue got married Peggy Sue got married not long ago so that was a true love ways provide me probably see some of these songs they released after after he was gone and this true love ways got to be one of the best songs he ever did it's like just you know why why you and I fly and fly no true love ways do do

do do do do do sometimes he's staring at me like please stop singing daddy sometimes we'll cry do do do do do do do do do do sometimes we'll sigh and you know why just you and I your true ways what's the one that I used to sing to people it's so easy to fall in love Peggy Sue love me Peggy Sue words of love Peggy Sue not fade away maybe baby rave on thinks early in the morning it's so easy heartbeat rain Peggy Sue true love ways I think it

might be true love ways I wonder what his greatest hits let's have a look at this this is gonna bug me now so his greatest hits so let's have a look see because he did a lot of his that would be today words of love not fade away every day did I say every day every day things are getting faster going faster than a roller coaster love like yours will surely come my way hey hey hey maybe baby I have you maybe baby Peggy Sue are you telling me Peggy Sue

wasn't even mentioned in the last one must have done it doesn't matter anymore well I guess it doesn't matter anymore there you go maybe here am I where you left me okay I did do that true love ways heartbeat I think it was true love ways the one I used to sing but was Peggy Sue in that list I don't think it was I don't think Peggy Sue was actually in that list yes it was okay let's move it on this isn't a podcast about Buddy Holly you know I also

loved Elvis lots lots and lots of singers to be honest as I like to some people I'd say I'm quite electric quite erectic collect collect collect this is it um favorite singers at the moment I've still got albums that I like to listen to like complete albums even now from the 80s also like to listen to greatest hits so the Bee Gees is one that's one of my favorite albums actually the Bee Gees greatest hits uh but then as far as albums go there's the Cranberries album um so the one

with zombie on it then that's one of my favorite albums something about is it arguing stop arguing or something uh and then you've got George Michael Faith was it Faith uh the first uh yeah his first album solo album he did that was my favorite of his and you got Craig David a couple of his albums Daniel Beddingfield a couple of his albums Will Young his second album these are albums that I can listen to like and just know every song uh a lot of Michael Jackson's solo albums so Off

The Wall Ben which was he was a kid but it was his solo album Off The Wall Bad Dangerous History and I forget the name of the last one that I liked it was wasn't a lot it yeah it was the 2001 I think 2001 yeah I think it was his last album it might not have been but that that's that was good like that so yeah a lot a lot of uh a lot of his stuff um Terrence Trent Darby I like two of his albums I really like love

two of his albums there's a lot a lot of different singers I like singers that sing as a human as opposed to the ones that do mime no I didn't didn't finish a sentence he's just got his back to me staring at the wall I don't know why was he doing that I think he just needs to stare maybe he's half asleep he's noticing that I'm talking about him now he's turning his head so he can hear what I'm saying and he doesn't like it when I do long recordings because

he just doesn't okay so I'm going to move on I'll need to get through these questions a bit quicker don't I is this going to be a two-parter again I think it might be I'm sorry oh man what is one smell Jenny asks what is one smell that you absolutely love and why I'll answer this very there's two smells I love there's three I can't tell you one of them uh this there's four or five so there's a few I love the smell of bacon but not bacon baking like like

bread cakes I love that smell I absolutely love it uh I do like the smell of a nice cooked dinner I do but as far as love um there's uh frank's frankincense this is going to sound very religious now really the the top two the first one I don't want it to come across as creepy and it's not the one that I won't tell you about earlier no that's that would be creepy if I told this I love this and this is a standard thing anyway but I don't feel ever

smell anything as there's something uh that change almost like changes your biology as you do it and that is about a newborn baby's head I don't mean when it's once it's cleaned but you know like a baby's head I don't know if it's because you basically can smell their brain because they've still got that soft patch or whatever but a baby's head now I don't go around smelling baby's heads I just want to put that out there okay I'm not a weirdo I'm a weirdo but not that kind of weirdo

and when I say changes your biology now I don't feel ever I don't smell a lot of baby's heads but I've got a couple of grandkids not grandkids um what do you call them nieces nephews whatever they are and I've met a few I've had friends I've had kids and stuff and you know when you smell a baby's head there's literally nothing you wouldn't do for that baby in that moment like you would protect that baby with your life well that's how I felt not because it's my baby not because

I like babies or I have any kind of maternal instincts towards babies I don't really necessarily have that I don't well I've got no kids of my own so I guess I don't have that but that something kicks in it's like a human thing that he's like you know what you'd you nothing you would just do anything to make sure that baby was safe so yeah it was that's kind of weird but I know that's got nothing maybe it's got nothing to do with the smell of the head maybe it's

just to do with being a human being but yeah baby's head baby's scalp I should be more specific because the face is part of the head don't smell the face because that would be weird why are you smelling his cheeks like it's always chin that'd be strange but his eyeballs eyeballs are weird baby's eyes and they're basically like ET like aliens aren't they but anyway smelling the baby's head and frankincense that's another smell I did aromatherapy trained as an aromatherapy for a while back in 2003 and frankincense was the one

smell that I just like wow above all of them I like lots of different smells but frankincense has got a yeah I never understood it right as I said it's getting religious because I'm thinking you know Jesus and frankincense and a little baby and stuff like that I thought frankincense when I grew up reading about frankincense and myrrh and don't know what the other one was is it's like gold or some kind of you know but frankincense is just an incense it's just it's a smell but what a smell is

something is phenomenal it's really I should get some I used to have some I used to have a bottle here but it's just it's something I don't know otherworldly but it's not otherworldly but it just has an effect on me in quite a positive way I think blimey I couldn't even do a simple question like that quickly could I sorry there you are Jenny oh no come back we done all comments next question is Jodith would you rather only watch one would you rather only watch one single movie for the

rest of your life or only eat the same food for the rest of your life I'm going to go for to be fair I could easily I could easily easily eat the same food for the rest of my life easily that would not be issue that would as long as it was healthy food something that you know that I'd be okay eating providing I enjoyed eating it I liked it I could do that you know it's weird I don't know why and it's a bit of a strange thing as well

but yeah I could would I want to probably not to be honest would I want to watch just one single movie the problem with that problem with that is my favorite movie is it's a wonderful life it's like far and far away my favorite movie and if you was to ask me if you change that question to literally you can only watch one movie I guess it's the whole desert island thing isn't it what movie would you take with you well it'd be a movie on how to escape from a

desert island probably but if it was like you know it's a wonderful life but I wouldn't watch it very often you know it'd be like maybe once a year Christmas because I love it but I don't really want to watch it I'm not it's my favorite movie I guess it probably always will be now because I've loved it for so long ever since I was 17 and I'm now what 83 so yeah I'm probably gonna it's gonna be my favorite movie of all time but as far as eating sometimes I

just find eating a chore just like oh I gotta get food now I'd rather just press a button and the food was done and it was in there you know I don't get a huge amount of pleasure from eating so unless it's chocolate or something nice then I do but that's just not much good for me but there you go I guess I'm just not eating the right things I need to find stuff that I enjoy eating I might have some pasta today so yeah I think I'll probably go for

if I could even though I could eat something because I do eat quite often eat the same thing every day but not for the whole day if you know I mean I'll have the same breakfast day in day out year in year out but if I had to have that for every meal maybe yeah maybe not so it just means I'd eat less which perhaps would be a better thing good thing for me I hope I asked that I hope Leah from Star Wars says how did you get to be

a hypnosis podcaster what was the journey you've mentioned Jesus and Buddhism and also other jobs like security guarding I like the way you said you mentioned Jesus and Buddhism and also other jobs like my job was never being Jesus or Buddhist or Buddhist it's like the same sentence and other jobs like being a security guard well when I was Jesus and Buddha I didn't like the hours it was very very and to be fair I looked at the contract and I saw I saw what I was gonna have to go

through and I thought nah no no no no I remember so I was saying like what's the pension gonna be what what when can I retire and I said retire you won't be here long enough to retire so what Buddhism how did you get where you are blimey that's a podcast in itself as a podcast all by itself and I think I've kind of talked about it quite a few times um I'm trying to think with the podcasts I progressed to doing podcasting I started doing podcasting in 2007 I think

it was I think 2007 was I started doing videos in 2006 started posted audios onto myspace 2006 but I don't think there were any podcasts at that time well I'd never heard of them if there was then I then I got a podcast in 2006 but I think it was 2007 I got a podcast and I joined a podcast it's called something like freepodcast.com and it was free and it was a great podcast hosting service and I reached a lot of people and everyone was supportive of each other it wasn't

like like myspace my memory of myspace is it was a really supportive place as well not like uh some of the but once Facebook came out YouTube and other social media stuff um although they were much better content wise you know YouTube Facebook was in some ways much better than myspace YouTube was way better than myspace as well can but my Facebook and YouTube took everything that myspace had to offer you know the videos and then podcasts took away the audio so myspace kind of wasn't needed but for a while

it was a great place and there's a lot of bands and bands support each other artists from my experience of seeing them online support each other and try and pull each other down they you know push each other up and that was my experience so I was putting videos really badly bad quality videos in 2006 onto myspace and some audios and I was getting like 10 000 people viewing it 10 000 views and and the amount of people are saying that's really you're really doing really well keep going and stuff

like that it's like and it was a 10 minute pain relief video in black and white done on a webcam and the only reason I had it black and white is because I didn't it was a better picture in black and white and that's why I did it because in color it was too grainy and I just thought I looked too pink until someone a few years pointing that you are pink that's just how it is just just deal with it oh fair enough and I that's how I got into

podcasting really started on myspace with the audios 2006 there's a lot more happened but ultimately I did the podcasting on the myfree podcast that was still going in January 2008 because I remember bragging well not bragging yeah I was bragging about it to my classmates at university because I just reached a hundred thousand or something um or maybe more of listeners and I was so excited I just wanted to show people like look I do do something I'm successful I don't know maybe that's how I was and then that collapsed

because they ran out of finances and I lost a lot of stuff and they just they shut down and it's when I started moving to other places and I think they kept going until probably another year maybe 2009 and I started using the soundcloud I used others as well so I used I tried every single one out pretty much but soundcloud was the one I kept going back to because it just seemed the better one out of all of them and then in 2000 and and to give you an idea

the stats I was still doing YouTube YouTube was my predominant place where people were viewing my stuff so I was getting it was the opposite to what it is now it was way more views on YouTube I was getting again it's not a huge amount but I was getting 45,000 video views a month and I had at least one video that had reached 100,000 video views uh so that had been my first popular video like really popular I was getting at the time I was getting like 10 like you know

eight six seven thousand views a day when I released that one this was back in 2011 by 2012-13 it I was still getting about 45,000 a day a month what was it a week I can't remember I think it was a month but I deleted the channel anyway for whatever reason a little blip and I then started to focus on the podcasts and I kind of moved away from YouTube for quite a few years until 2018 when I opened another YouTube channel but did nothing on it for a few years

during that time I was growing the podcasts and the podcast grew from about 2017 onwards they really started to grow quite a bit in 2018 that's when I started this Let Me Bore You To Sleep and yeah that's when the podcast took over uh the last couple of years I started posting stuff on YouTube but it still gets very few you know watches really but it's just there if I made videos of myself on camera and I did those every day I know that I would build up a larger audience

because some people would they don't want to see a static page they don't necessarily want to see my face but they'd rather see a human being than just a static page with audio you know because they'd like well if I'm going to do that I might as well go to a podcast that's my thinking and as far as jobs as one of those things everything kind of what you do leads you to where you are I guess I never expected to be doing this when I was younger I had no

interest in doing this when I was younger this because this didn't exist this podcast didn't exist the internet didn't exist I don't know the closest thing would be being a radio DJ I guess or radio host and I never the reason that I never even considered becoming a radio DJ is because my mood swings were so crazy I didn't know from one day to the next what kind of mood I'd be in so even if I had managed to become a radio host when I was in my 20s or 30s

even and I had a regular slot on a breakfast show one day I'd be in a good mood and next day I'd be in a horrific mood and I guess I can't imagine that job would last very long so that's part of the reason why I didn't because I thought about it because you know I do always been a bit of a chatterbox I guess in some ways and I don't need someone I don't need someone in front of me in order to talk in fact they that's just a distraction

if someone's sitting there Jesus and Buddhism I think would you again without getting religious because I'm not really particularly religious these days but I was very there was a period I was brought up as a Catholic well brought up I lived in a Catholic monastery or Catholic nunnery for a couple of years before that not really much religion and after that not much religion to be honest apart from going to church from one then as a family we didn't go to church when I was seven seven and above didn't go

to church and Buddhism something I became interested in because of martial arts when I was about 14 and I just I know I became interested when I was a kid watching Kung Fu on TV because he you know he's a monastery wasn't he and then he it was a Buddhist monk and then he left there and had to walk on rice paper and stuff so it put a little seed in there like oh this is interesting and it'd be philosophy very philosophical philosophical rather TV show and so yeah I studied

studied Buddhism over the years throughout my 20s my main thing with I guess with Jesus or Christianity would have been when my dad was ill my dad had a tumor in his neck which was non-malignant but it was in a place that was very very dangerous very dangerous to have surgery he was only a young man he must have been I was I was about 11 so he's 26 years older than me so that makes him was he about 18 and so he had he had to go in the hospital

and that period I became really really religious it coincided with being given a Gideon's Bible New Testament at school we all got given one I've actually got one here it's not the original one but it's the same one it's a red cover Gideon and I was reading it all the time just during that period and praying and like because I feel that the sad I was told something I shouldn't have really been told thinking about it is someone told me that he might die and that on the operating theater and

I don't know why anyone would do that but hey they did and I my dad didn't but someone told me and I was worried completely worried and I even though I didn't necessarily always get on with him during that period he was vulnerable I mean he was in a lot of pain before the operation because there was this you know this thing was causing him a lot of discomfort and then when he came out of hospital he survived when he came out of hospital he had to convalesce for quite a

long time and so he it's weird because the scar right from his his ear all the way down his neck is now just part of his creases part of his wrinkles I don't know not wrinkles but you wouldn't kind of see it but it was a huge old scar and yeah that's probably the most worried I'd ever been about him and yeah so that that was that was kind of the Jesus thing so that kind of went on that's where I kind of went with that um I've had so many

different jobs I don't think any of them really led me to but they all led me to this as far as this where I am but uh security definitely that didn't lead me anywhere I just that that literally was me just like stuck in mud for a while I didn't didn't get much done in my life during that period um how did I get where I got here well the very short version of a long story is a lot happened in a very short time that wasn't so good in my

life you know everything kind of went wrong kind of relationship home you know lots of different things finances family issues all stuff all at the same like literally and this was around the time that Tony Blair became prime minister so this was like summer 97 and I basically reached out for help from my cousin and she she she helped me gave me somewhere to live and I had to start rebuilding my life from that rebuilding my my world back up because it kind of got a bit weird it took a

while it did and then the person that helped me after that was my friend Noel and he chucked me a lifeline and he helped me and he helped me for four years he's helped me for years since as well he really made a difference in my life and gave me a little gave me some self-belief which I'd never had before actually believed in me and that's when I got into hypnosis that's when I got into learning stuff you know started to realize that I could learn things and then um I

suppose after years and years of learning different things hypnosis and studying I finally gained some confidence and decided in 2006 January that's it I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do something I don't care what the result is I don't care if it works or not I'm gonna put everything into this so I did decided to do chronic pain relief service locally for free and then to focus and to make videos and audios put them on my space and also volunteer at a alcohol rehab center or alcohol charity doing relaxation sessions

which ended up doing it again at drug rehab center as well so all those things as well as working full-time so this was just something I like this is what I'm doing and I did it I was very very busy and it went from there and because of the people I met in the charities the two alcohol and rehab drug rehab places counselors I realized they were lovely really liked them which led me to get intrigued and how can I become a counselor which is what I did I became a

counselor I started a university course at the end of 2007 in September so you think I started this January 2006 by September 2007 I was starting a degree in counseling studies after two years I was a qualified counselor in personal center counseling and then the third year I got the degree continued doing a podcast and all the way through that and making YouTube videos and other stuff happened as it always does but it's really only been since 2017 that the podcasts themselves really really took off 2018 19 20 21 22

23 like 23 hit a bit of a roadblock because the YouTube channel the podcast host told me that I couldn't have music and that messed everything up so I had to restart because I had multiple different podcasts so I had to re kind of figure out how to do it so I ended up starting I mean we're talking let's have a look we're talking when was it I can actually tell you all time it was really okay 2023 2023 last 12 months okay that'll be better October so around September they

said or August yeah I got all the recordings of music and at that time I'd established myself and I was getting between three and five hundred thousand plays a month sometimes more I say sometimes I mean it went up to like seven eight hundred thousand but I guess on average it's hard to know now to be fair because it's it's a different podcast host now I think I've lost the stats on that I lost the stats this says all does it say all time oh okay I've just gone on to

Spreaker I've still got a lot of my podcasts on Spreaker because just they need to be on there they need to be somewhere so I can't have a different I can't have a different what's it called SoundCloud account for each podcast because I can't afford to do that it's too many so according to this before okay it's still now but I've had very few downloads since October on this this thing but I had 14.9 million total plays or total downloads in however long it was so it only goes back two

years on the stats but the overall stats are still there 14 point it's 14.957 so 14 and a half no 14.9 million is between two I'd say pretty much between 2018 to 2023 August and so yeah that's still it's just I was pleased with that until it all went a bit weird and so far on the main podcast with SoundCloud with the what's he called hypnosis for sleeping deeply for the last since when was it October October yeah since October last year and it's now what is it 19th of April

since October last year 975,977 plays so that's that podcast the other other podcast really of any value I say because the I do have a the deep sleep whisper one but that just doesn't work for some reason I don't know why Apple's just not uploading they're not updating rather so with the other one is the Let Me Bore You To Sleep one and again since October I guess last year I've had 533,000 plays so yeah so there there you go uh last month I had 71,185 on this one so far

this month 19 days 37,228 ironic yeah so there you go so in some ways things have gone not gone bad but they've definitely dropped because I'm not as available I'm not as you know all the links that were there online that I'd established all the different places where people could listen to me that I'd established for years and years and years all gone overnight um but there you go that's so that's how I got to where I am if that makes sense it didn't sound very positive did it right Leah

would you ever get another ferret Andre sounded like he brought so many smiles did he poop in the house or was he probably trained in some way that's a lot of questions uh did he poop in the house yes he did but he did it in places so basically the way what the way I trained him is he trained me so he let me know that ferrets like to go in a corner or against the wall you know they have to have their face looking at you and they don't they

won't poo with their back to you they they have to look you know it's just a natural thing to them so corners the ideal place for a ferret so what I'd do is I had I found out where he liked to go or I would fill all the other gaps in all the other corners in and just put stuff for him to go on in the corner and he was happy with that yeah he'd have the he'd have the odd accident I mean to start with he used to go in

his cage because he had all the gravel and whatever and and he just had the corner bit for when he was during the day and he'd go for a poo sometimes he'd even go into the cage to go for a poo and then come back out and yeah so he trained me and then when we went out for a walk he'd go for a toilet outside sometimes not often but sometimes and it took him yeah I took him into the town and he did it in a you know once he

did it a doorway of a shop like why another time he needed to go to the toilet so bad but he didn't like he was letting me know but I wasn't really getting it you know we were in the middle of town I was with a friend and her kid and I picked him up because I thought okay just I'll move him to a different part where there's grass and he went all over me like completely covered covered my trousers and it wasn't his fault he was holding it in because

the one thing about ferrets is I suppose the same kind of thing with a dog as well they they don't want to and I think it's an animal thing they don't want to just do it just anywhere it's kind of a natural thing to maybe cover it up once they've done it and to do it where they feel safe where there's not anyone around them no one's behind them and stuff like that so I didn't I wasn't taking notice of his what he was telling me he was telling me he

needed a toilet and I was ignoring him because I was probably too busy focusing on my friend who I was talking to she found it hilarious the kid found it hilarious people around watching found it hilarious I think even Andre found it quite humorous I didn't enjoy one bit of it because at first I had to go into the toilet and try and clean myself off I think I had to go and buy some trousers like some shorts or something to put on because I couldn't wear the trousers anymore and

so yeah that wasn't a wonderful experience for me would I get another one I you know what I thought about it there's one of those situations where I could never replace him I wouldn't have even got a dog if it hadn't been for my friend downstairs bringing him up here and almost not forcing me he didn't force me to get him but he just said oh he needs a home and Vinnie at this point was running around my flat looking cute like he does all excited and he was best friends

with Logie which was unusual for Logie to like other dogs at all and I just you know I just blurted out I'll have him for silly things that just blurt out but hey it happened and before that I was thinking about getting a ferret and I actually planned to go and see I was going to get two this time so they had company with each other you know but it turned out I just like I had to I waited for about six weeks ready for these two ferrets to be ready

to be picked up and I had to had to just cancel it because I couldn't face it emotionally couldn't face it so yeah maybe in the future but right now now if my friend downstairs had brought up a ferret that day I'd have a ferret now pretty much guaranteed because I just would have fallen in love with it or him or her whatever so it's just just the way just life isn't it it's just the way it went by a friend downstairs he always said he's going to get another ferret

one day oh well so that sounds it's a francy frankie francy francy or frankie says hi Jason what does the acronym asmr stand for I think it's auto sensory motor response let me just check auto sensory motor asmr autonomous sensory meridian response what did I say auto sensory meridian response I got part of it wrong I should have just looked first and then told you the asmr autos I know what it stands for as far as what it is but the actual correct terminology I got it wrong says autonomous sensory

meridian response for example a tingling cessation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine a pleasant form of parathese parathesia so some people just get that feeling when they listen to whispers or scratching or just movements or they hear something or moving from one ear to the other kind of yeah it's it's quite it was see what happened for me is I was I was already doing it without knowing I was doing it so I was doing I was finishing my recordings

and this is 2011 I started finishing my recordings with whispering I kind of move into a whisper and the end would be like and now blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and you know because hopefully by then they're not listening so they're asleep that doesn't matter what you say and and someone said to me you should do asmr recordings you already are I thought what so I looked at no they should do whisper recordings and then from then on I said you should do more asmr stuff whisper I didn't

realize that whisper was asmr and there's more to it than just whispering this there's loads of different things makeup tutorials things like that and just crunching up different things I have to be careful now that the the thing doesn't run out before because now at two hours because if this runs out I'm gonna be in trouble so so that's Frankie so I've done that whatever oh blimey I've tried to answer as many things as possible oh oh oh oh the recording once it gets to two hours sometimes it's a bit

temperamental okay so I'll be a little bit quicker with these ones Cindy oh no Joanne says how is Logie going at his new home how are you and Viddy going without him I'm doing well without him um the first week was very difficult I didn't think it would be to be honest with you because him and Vinnie were arguing a bit and it was annoying me it was worrying me because I didn't know how it would you know if they really got into a punch-up Logie was so much bigger um

but Vinnie were Vinnie pined for him a little bit for about a week but I think he was also happy to have his space back because he spent two months they spent two months together and that was enough I spent two months on my bed squashed to the squash to the wall because Logie took up three quarters of the bed and Vinnie took up 10 percent now but he you know he it was there was no room for me but uh I'm glad that he's found somewhere and he's doing well

he's he does have um physical issues uh arthritis and that because he's he's getting on a bit but he's I think he's happy and he's with he's with a lady that he loves and he's known her a long time long long time many years and so he knows her and he's he's happy and he's getting attention I think all he really wants is just he wants food and he wants to sleep and he wants to cuddle he loves cuddling um so thanks Joanne it's Joanne or Joanne Joanne isn't it yeah

thanks Joanne um Kate says I often wonder to myself so yeah thank you uh Diane Diana says which country would you like to love to visit if you could um I would love to visit this part of me would love to visit everywhere there is a part of me um I'd like to visit English-speaking countries would be cool no just in a sense not not in a weird way just in a sense of it'd be nice to go somewhere where Australia or America New Zealand Canada I know Canada's not completely

English-speaking but it's I think it'd be cool it'd be cool to go to those places because although they're English-speaking there's a different different planet compared to this country whole I mean I've been told that New Zealand is fairly similar climate wise um I don't know if that's true or not but Canada and and America and Australia very different very different places and I guess because especially like with America has had such an impact on the UK like huge huge impact I've no doubt we've had a huge impact on them as

well but um it would be interesting to my voice is going it would be interesting to go to certain places I'd like to go to oh where is it help me out Phoenix Arizona I'd like to go to the museum for Milton H Erickson I'd like to I'd like to visit New York I'd like to go to the comedy store I'd like yeah that'd be cool I don't quite like the idea of staying somewhere living there for sort of you know six months or something or a year living in New

York or living in somewhere cool or anywhere just living somewhere and maybe traveling around um so yeah Australia Canada but I'd also be interested in going to places like Denmark and Finland and uh European countries as well because partly because so many people listen to me from those countries so I'm figuring anyone listens to me it's got to be cool and groovy and so it'd be nice to maybe meet them or to be around people that are cool and groovy other than that this yeah I'm not going to focus on

places I don't want to go so I'll be positive here I'd quite like to I mean I'd like to go to Russia I'd like to go to China I'd like to go to and you know those places are probably well probably most definitely one of those places is not a place that I'll be allowed to go to at the moment perhaps but they're the history the rich history of these countries and yeah so it'd be it'd be I'd like to go back to Thailand I'd like to perhaps go to Dubai

as well because it is it's almost a different planet to Dubai where the way they've got the advancement in that society technologically is unparalleled I suppose the only place you're going to get anything closer that would be maybe China Hong Kong you know with the technological advancement it's just amazing I'm a bit in I think Dubai I think in the airport they've got robots cleaning and the robots stop when you're there they kind of you can ask them questions and stuff it's like I'd like to go back to Bulgaria I'd

like to visit places like Poland and all those kind of countries as well Romania I'd like to visit Romania so that'd be cool but it'd have to be I think it'd be nice to sort of travel but do it leisurely my ideal situation this is my ideal situation okay is if I had the finances to support it I would travel around and make my podcast so every day make a podcast and talk about what's happened talk about where I've been and just you know make the audio podcast and that would

be it that's what I would do and I'd have something to talk about and I'd enrich my own my own life as well I guess in the process get to grow as a person so that would be something I quite like to do just traveling around different countries learning new things and maybe not the whole year but you know part of the year maybe maybe for maybe three months a year six months a year four months maybe not the whole year and then I can make you know do yeah I

don't know it's just an idea I've had I've had that for years but I didn't really follow it follow that dream the last question two hours over two hours I'm going to do the last question Cindy what's been your favorite holiday so far what superpower do you wish you had what's a question you wish more people asked you okay Jason can I send you naughty pics no that's not um I that's the question what's been my favorite holiday what superpower do I wish I had I'm gonna be greedy I want

all of them right now I'd like to have the superpower power of not having arthritis in my lower back because if I sit for too long in one position or just in a chair it really starts to ache oh anyway um super what did it was it one would I go back on being your favorite holiday so far um oh that's a difficult one each one's had because I went many years without going on holiday but each one's kind of had its own little unique thing so when I traveled through

France for about a week or so through the Alps in the summer with some strange man and I met he was a hitchhiker became friends and that was almost a journey of growth a journey of becoming an adult almost being out in the world and having sensible conversations and you know I couldn't be a kid even though I was 45 now even though I was I don't know how old I was 18 at the time 19 18 18 1989 summer so I there's that one Bulgaria not because of the people

I was with no no offense but my enjoyment was when I was on my own with the waitresses and the bar people talking to the the people that the Bulgarians that was my enjoyment of being there just getting to know them and I don't know why but that's the part I liked about the holiday didn't like the skiing or the snowboarding didn't like any of that stuff I liked the fresh air that was nice and didn't like the fact that there was bears outside that wasn't a big thing I was

excited about but I got to know some people there and that was cool so yeah other than that some people say what about Thailand well if I could mix the two holidays together I don't know it's what was the question what's been your favorite holiday so far um this is from Cindy so that's the last question I don't know I don't know because I had a nice little holiday in Torquay in 2003 that I liked that I went to the Isle of Man that was okay for a few days Ireland

although that wasn't really a holiday that was an actual I'd moved there but I came back after about five weeks six weeks and I was at Butlins in Torquay was it Torquay I don't know wherever it was not Torquay um somewhere but I that was a working thing so I wasn't a holiday France I went to Spain for the afternoon so that wasn't really a holiday either Belgium I've been about three times but that was just for the day went to Amsterdam for about a week or maybe five days in

2003 so that was a pretty good holiday but again what I noticed when I went there is I wished I'd been with someone I was on my own too much and I would have enjoyed it more if I'd been with someone it's weird but I like being on my own but for that holiday it was just yeah I think I'd have enjoyed it if I'd had some company I don't know who and I think as far as probably Bulgaria just for the for the for the simple fact that I actually

had fun on my own with the people there that the the locals the people behind the bar the waitresses the you know I think that's probably the place I liked and I was still fairly young I was what 31 still and yeah I quite liked that and yeah that's probably the best holiday I've had although I just didn't there was a lot I didn't I've never been on a holiday where I just like everything was great and I just enjoyed it I mean I went to what's it named um blimey

Thailand my brain's not working I went to Thailand and there was the first time I break I cracked my rib second time is a chest infection so I didn't get to enjoy either those times not properly I had a few moments that were good but ultimately I was suffered from through both of them I had I think the second day I broke my rib the first for the first one and I think I had two or two days two whole days or three days before the chest infection so it's like

yeah wasn't really wasn't worth it and again I was on my own and there's something sometimes is see because I'm not a drinker I'm not a partier um there's a lot of people that was out there that were just out getting drunk all every day and and that's not me even I didn't really I don't drink at all these days but even when I did drink I didn't want to do it every day it's boring doing the same thing every day like drinking and whatever so and the temperature was a

little bit too hot for someone like me with my skin you know I've got pink skin I'm not suited for hot weather I don't know I think my my best holiday is yet to come I don't know whether when I'll ever be able to afford to go away again but my my best holiday is yet to come and I'd like to think it's going to be as I like to go to America Australia I'd like to go to New Zealand I'd like to go to Canada I'd like to also go

to a lot of Europe European countries and also I'd like to go to Russia and China because there's just the history I mean Europe Russia is part of Europe isn't it as far as the east China there's lots of different countries in that part there's certain countries I'm not that bothered about going to just for various different reasons political not my political reasons but like governmental political reasons which wouldn't be a good idea I don't think someone go in there like me but I do you know there's there's not many

places I wouldn't like to visit as long as I was safe you know that's kind of the main thing just as long as I'm okay I would quite like I like the idea of going on cruises because then it's you in a group and go visit places and you get back on the boat and maybe stay in a hotel somewhere for a day and then you get back that that that seems like it'd be quite fun to do for part of the year or every now and then you know that's

what my dad does my dad goes on cruises sometimes he takes his wife no they do go together so that's it I managed to answer all the questions and my left buttock is numb well it's not numb it's actually hurting but it's the I need to move I need to stand up it's sitting there for two hour two and a half hours or something and so I'm gonna go I hope this answered the questions thank you I don't know if I want to do another one of these it's long it

takes ages it takes ages it's a lot of work it's now what time is it blood it's eight o'clock in the evening I started this about two in the afternoon wow um anyway thank you for listening thank you and remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy and I will do another one of these next week I think wow Q&A Friday I mean it's gonna this how many more questions could there be to be honest it can't be that many more questions left to anyone's plus
