Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. It's Saturday the 4th of May 2024. OK, that bit didn't really rhyme.
Welcome. The website is letmeboreyou.com. That's the podcast website. But you could also reach... Excuse me, you could gain access to the podcast Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast all over the place.
Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud is kind of the main home of the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcast. But letmeboreyou.com is the website. And so there, there you go.
Oh, so... Oh yeah, only listen when you can safely close your eyes. I, I, I, I, I'm recording this a lot earlier than normal because there's boxing on tonight. Well, early hours of the morning, tomorrow morning.
Well, that's weird. Things are moving on their own. I think it's gravity.
Parts of me is definitely being affected by gravity these days. My bosom used to be much firmer. So I decided to make this recording earlier and I'm a bit fresher.
I'm a bit, oh, you know, still tired. I always yawn at the beginning of these recordings. I stopped yawning after a little while, but I just, I don't know what it is.
It's sort of getting myself into the, the boring zone because it might be hard for you to believe I'm an incredibly excitable and exciting person most of the time. So I have to tone down that excitement and that bubbling personality, that winning, that winning character in order to present myself as being boring, tedious, whatever, uh, talking quite slowly because normally I talk a million miles an hour and I'm just, honestly, just the life and soul of any room.
Admittedly, the only rooms I'm in are me and Vinnie, but what's he doing? Hey Vinnie, give me that.
He's got chocolate. I don't know how he got that. You can't eat that mate.
You can't eat it. You're not allowed. A bounty bar, like a little, you know, the little miniature bounty bar still in the wrapper has managed to get on the floor and I don't know why, how it managed to do that.
And he was starting to rip it open and I'm pretty sure it's not the only bit of chocolate. He's got a nutty trying to get to it. You can't have that Vinnie.
You're not allowed to eat chocolate. It's poisonous for doggies. And I'm not going to, he's eaten chocolate before.
No doubt he has, but I've never given him chocolate. But when we're out, especially at night, I can't see always what he's picking up from the floor. And because I live quite close to a school, so often there's sweets and chocolates and crisps and I don't know, you might call it candy and snacks and stuff on the floor, just little bits on the floor.
And he, well him and probably every other dog that goes past, probably have a little munch on them. I try and stop it, but I do my best. I do my best for my little boy.
You know, it's, it's hard to be perfect all the time. So, oh, do you want the stats for the, I'll tell you what, instead of giving me the stats for the podcast, I'm going to give you the stats for my YouTube. How about that one? Let's have a look.
Oh, two seconds. Just getting it. Oh, where is it? Where is it? Okay, there it is.
Okay, my latest podcast episode number 101,110 Q&A Friday, which was yesterday. I recorded it yesterday and I released it this morning. My armpits are sweaty.
You didn't need to know that, did you? And some things are best kept inside, I guess, but do you know what I've noticed? And this is, I don't know, this is, this is bad. Maybe I'm not sure. I've got some friends who are, I don't really see them so much.
I got, I got a few people that I see regularly. In fact, the people I see most are the dog walkers. And I don't know one of their names.
Well, no one. No, I kind of know one name. But it's, I found myself nearly saying something to one of my friends is she's, I think she's kind of coming to the end of a relationship.
And she started, we talked in that and she started sort of took me a text. How was your day? Like, well, how was my day? I don't I don't get Texas like that. I don't just just.
And I wanted to text back. If you want to know how my day was, listen to my podcast. I didn't text that back.
But I was like, Well, I'm not gonna have a conversation on the phone about my day. If I'm going to talk about it on the podcast. I can't have that same conversation twice.
For me, I'll talk about the day and then it's forgotten and I can move on with the rest of my life. Just I've talked about today or what happened yesterday or this morning. And then it's done.
And we can all just breathe a sigh of relief. Now he's in the ginger nut biscuit. He's got food there.
So I don't know why he's not eating his food. He's got dry food over there as well. He's not eating that.
I think he's not got sugar in it. He don't want it. And you know, I mean, it's taken after me, I think.
Anyway, 1110. So that's a Q&A Friday. uploaded it today.
So I made uploaded podcasts, did all that stuff edited pod processed on everything. So I made a video. Eight views.
Yesterday's video got nine views. I'm amazed, honestly. I know it's not like a huge amount in the past, but at my height, I was getting 45,000 views a month.
And it was growing by like, probably 10%. Every month, it was just really sort of growing. And that's when I deleted my YouTube channel.
Bless me. Yep. I always do the cleverest things.
But what are the stats? You don't want the stats do you? Okay. podcast, I'll just give you the quickly give you the stats for this. Let me podcast.
Yesterday, I ended up with 4899 plays. Today so far at four o'clock now in the evening, in the afternoon 3019 plays. So the thing that does surprise me a little bit is how many not on this podcast so much, but I'm surprised that it's gone up.
I'm not surprised, but I'm happy that's gone up. But on the other podcast, the I forget what it's called. Sleeping deeply is it sleep deep hypnosis.
Sleep, sleeping deeply hypnosis or sleeping deeply. Okay. So I've had 5868 plays today.
Yesterday I had 12,249. So what what I'm surprised about is how many plays of the Let Me Bore You To Sleep I get. So just yesterday, yesterday.
I mean, today's recording is yesterday's recording, but yesterday's upload, which was from the day before, which was 70s TV. I mean, the one about music 357 plays with music 358 5 hours 866 10 hours 687. And so far today, the Q&A Friday 180 about music 225 with music 255 hours 10 hours 331.
I don't know, I just I just find it quite surprising that they seem to be So the last seven days, ordering Vinnie's new lead 1092 that in that 10 hour version, that was the most listened to recording 900 958. The last 30 days, most listened to recording was ordering Vinnie's lead 10 hours 1092 again, there was 1370 plays. Number two was a 10 hour version of Jason's bedtime story number a Cinderella story 929.
Blimey. And a quick quick drink of water. Well, before I continue with my amazing stories of intriguement and fascination.
I do have a message a message sent to me. I'm going to read it out. And it's from Georgie says, Hey, I've been listening to you for four years straight now every night.
You're an absolute godsend. And I'm able to switch my overactive brain off for long enough to go to sleep. Because of you.
Can I thank you enough? And, and I did reply, Georgie, thank you for your kind words. This is why I do what I do. That's so lovely.
Honestly, I woke up to that this morning. And wait a minute. Oh, I thought it's for a different message.
Do you ever send a message to a wrong person? I did that once I sent a message to my stepmom. I forget what it was. It was I think I was talking to a female.
And I sent a message to her. I think it was someone I was dating at the time. And so I sent a message.
She sent me a message and I sent a message back. But somehow and I don't know how I sent it. Instead of to her, I sent it to my stepmom.
And she sent a reply back. So why do you why is so why have you sent me a picture of a little worm? It's like, I'm just I said I've just been gardening. So I know you're into gardening.
She said, Oh, okay. That was it, thankfully. And so I, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did.
I've been thinking about my pet peeves. One of the questions yesterday on my Q&A Friday was was my pet peeve. And I mentioned speeding cars.
And I come to realize that a lot of my pet peeves seem to be around cars. And I didn't. It's got me thinking I've started to notice, maybe become a little bit self aware of how grumpy I am, when it comes to certain aspects of driving the road and stuff.
One thing that I do have a pet one of my pet peeves is people that don't indicate when they turn a corner. Again, I'm not talking about pedestrians and cars. People on bikes as well, but I rarely see a person on a bike around here.
Or even motorbikes, to be fair, it's just generally cars. And I don't know, it's because they take turning left or turning right onto the estate, and there's not a lot of cars about and they can, I guess, because they can see there's no traffic. But to me, that's not the point.
Because if you turning right and turning left is an automatic process, that you kind of become used to doing. It's not something you think about really, is it? It's like if you're going to turn right, you automatically have the indicator on to turn right and turn left. And it's something that happens automatically.
It's like you don't put attention into the clutch or into different gears. Or you know, I mean, I realize I'm not a driver. But I know enough about humans.
And it's the same with anything we do. It's like if you there's certain things that we do without having to really put a lot of attention into. Which makes me wonder, how can people turn that off, on and off at will, the automatic processes on and off? How are they able to just not indicate when 99.9% of the time they have to indicate, because they can get caught out or it could cause problems.
And on the odd occasion when they can see, they feel like they don't need to, because they're, you know, literally 10 seconds away from their home, and they just turn left. And then they're going to drive onto the driveway, maybe or there's going to drive around the estate. And they can see there's no cars coming.
This or they can see there's no car coming towards them. The thing is, I think drivers forget that the indicator is not just the indicator, they're not indicating for themselves. I mean, they're indicating to let other drivers and pedestrians and other people know what their intention is.
It's it keeps them safe, because then the other drivers will stop if they don't have right away, you know, let that driver go park go around or whatever it is. I mean, even crossing the road, there's if I get to the end of the estate, and the petrol stations on the left, so I get to the end, I have to cross a main road. Not only do I have to cross the main road, but sometimes, so I have to cross it in two parts.
So when there's cars coming towards me on the right hand side, which in this country, they come on a day drive on the right hand side by that I mean in both ways, the right hand side and the correct side. And sometimes people indicate to turn left into the estate. Now, I think a lot of people and I've done it myself.
I know people that I've been with in and just they've gone to cross the road. I don't because I've been called out too many times. Just because someone's indicating don't mean they're turning just because they're not indicating don't mean they're not turning.
And it's the same way as when people stop, or they slow down. It doesn't mean they're slowing down to let you cross doesn't even know that doesn't mean they've even seen you they might be looking at the phone. Might be looking down at the phone texting, especially if the if the traffic slow.
I've seen people not even see me they're literally just looking down and stopping and starting and sometimes come to a halt. And they're clearly doing something on their phone. I can see their hand moving and I can't see what they're doing.
But and in traffic. And it's like, okay, so I had a friend and he's like, we'll just walk across that they're slowing down. We don't know why they're slowing down.
And a few times we both got caught out went to crossover the car sped up. Now, that's I'm not saying it's okay with young people. But yeah, as far as reactions, young people have a quicker reaction.
You know, 30 years ago, I'm not saying I could outrun a car, obviously. But when I was younger, I was stupid, I'd run across the road. And you know, generally, was okay.
But now, I'm not quite as young as I used to be. And it's not that I really I need to get my head in in gear to stop thinking of myself as being old because I'm not old. I'm old.
It's the orbit. And then it hasn't got a particularly positive connotation. In the UK in England, it likes in the language.
Because quite often when someone sees something that they find disgusting, they go. So I'm not not only my old, I'm also old. See, so it's kind of I don't know, it's almost worse than just being old.
Being elderly. I feel that demands a degree of respect. Elderly, someone that you take care of someone you look out for old, again, maybe someone that is a less respectful than say an elderly, I would I would say, and not everyone likes being called old.
Why would they? But old. That's gonna stuck in it as can be stuck in your head now in it. Old.
Old. I'm old. He's older than me.
Yeah. Oh, never thought of it that way before. So cars will slow down and then speed up.
And I've been caught out a couple of times. I'm not doing that no more. And I see some cars slow down.
And bearing in mind, I'm not just on my own. I mean, I used to be my friend. He had a big dog.
Motley off for quite a few years. I had Andre and he was on the lead as well. Although I think I might have picked him up on the cross the road.
I can't remember. But people can see that they can see they got two people with animals. And, you know, anyone that's ever had a dog or they know that they're not always they don't always do what you expect them to do.
You know, it's quite Vinnie tripped me up on the stairs the other day. Admittedly, it was pitch black down on the on the hallway. So I couldn't see anything.
But I did have my I had my torch on a flashlight. I really catering for America on a flashlight. We don't call it flashlights torches.
I suppose it's from the old I don't know where you get a flashlight from. I suppose because they used to flash and they do. Technically, do they just keep flashing but it's so quick.
I don't know. But torches, if you go back to the old days when people used to have torches, which were literally just like a burning bush with a handle. They used to walk around see all the old movies, the harrow harrow horror, Harry horror, hammer horror, or just lots of the old movies from like London and stuff and even America and other countries.
They'd have these things and I think maybe they'd have oil in them. And it just be a light before lamps and oil lamps and stuff like that. So we just I guess continued calling torches because it was the up whatever updated version came along.
We just continue to call it a torch. I haven't really given that one much thought before. Hopefully I never will again.
So I say to my friend, just let's just wait for the traffic. Because if you do walk out and the person I mean first if they don't see a catastrophe. If they do see you and they stop might be okay for you but it could be catastrophically for the car behind.
So like let's just wait. Sometimes you just like walk out and they'd have to like pull the brakes on. So I can't do that.
I'm not I'm not taking that risk. So I I'm not learned to be honest. I mean, I'm not going into details but when I was about five because I lived in the children's home and there was a main road outside.
Very busy main road, big road as well, especially if you're pretty little. And we used to run across it. And one of my friends didn't make it one day when I was living with in the kids home.
So that always kind of stuck with me a bit. It's like be careful of the road. I didn't need the Green Cross code.
Because I won't be there when you cross the road. Green Cross code road. Yeah.
Did you know about it? Did you have that in other countries? Because in England, I don't know if they had it in Scotland or Wales or anywhere else. I don't know. But in England, especially where I lived, because that's where my television was.
There was an advert called it was the Green Cross code man. And this big muscular man was saying it was helping people across the road, children and elderly people and stuff. And maybe some people are old.
And he'd say he was a Green Cross code, man. He say, always use the Green Cross code, which was look right, look left, look right, look left again, then run across. Always looking, just make sure that you know, it's safe.
And he would say that was his little rhyme, his little poem. Always use the Green Cross code. Because I won't be there.
No. Always use the Green Cross code. Because I might always remember to use the Green Cross code.
So I might not be there when you cross the road, something like that. Always use the Green Cross code. Because I won't be there when you cross the road.
So he's like, he was letting us know that although he was there for us in our living room at home, on the television, he wasn't able. He wasn't able to be every single roadside, helping people to cross the road can be everywhere. And I thought it was good for him to share that information.
Because, you know, I didn't see the whole advert the first time and I was waiting for him to turn up. Even the lollipop man said, Come on, I can stop the traffic. I've got my lollipop.
And he would stop the traffic. I said, No, I'm waiting for the Green Cross code, man. And he said, What? I'm so I'm waiting for the Green Cross code, man.
He said, He's busy filming Star Wars. I said, What do you mean? Oh, never mind. Come on, you can cross over.
I've got the I've got a lollipop. That's much better than the Green Cross code. I said, Okay, you haven't got to look right or left.
You just cross over. Really? Yeah. Well, can you? Can you be here? Are you here every day? Yeah, it was a new school I just started.
I'm here every day. What about Saturdays? Is it not Saturdays? Because schools aren't open on Saturdays. What about Sundays? Well, not Sundays.
Schools aren't open on Sundays either. What about bank holidays? Bank holiday Mondays? Well, no, schools aren't open on bank holiday Mondays. What about Easter? No, schools aren't holiday.
They're not open on Easter either, schools aren't open. They're not open. Christmas? No, schools aren't open at Christmas.
What about the summer holidays? You mean the six weeks when the schools are closed? Yeah, what about that? No. What about half term? No. When the schools are closed? No.
And I said, Well, why did you say you're always here every day? He said, I didn't mean every day. So well, you did say you're here every day. That's when I realized that I was pedantic.
And it's put me in good stead to be one of the most annoying men on the planet. I can turn my pedanticism on and off at choice. And sometimes it's not always at sometimes it just kicks in on its own accord.
But if you get into a pedantic mood, everything someone says, you can just pull them up on it, because people contradict themselves so easily. And they trip up. And also a lot of people just blatantly lie.
It's like, well, actually, or exaggerate a lot of it. Not so much lying, though it is sometimes but exaggerations. You know me.
I would never lie. The whole 35 years I've been making these let me boy to sleeps. I've never lied once.
I don't even know how to spell it. I T. Oh, no, that's about it. That's very childish.
That's a childish joke. I was just thinking of some of this really dumb things used to do when I was kids. And there's some things that I didn't do.
And I can't tell you about all of them. I'd like to. Another thing I noticed, oh, yeah, if people flash their lights, so they slow down a flash of lights, that is, they're going cross.
And every time I cross the road, I put my hand out. I mean, some could say it's like a Nazi salute. It's not.
I'm basically I'm waving to them, but I'm just letting them know. And I watched them the whole time. I cross some waving.
It probably looks a bit silly to them. But I just have to like just I want them to see me. Because the stuff on telly I want to watch, you know, want to get home.
So the other thing that I forgot about my pet peeves. This is going to be about my pet peeves today, I think. Yeah, I've got no choice.
It's going to be pet peeves, pet peeves, cars parked on the pavement. I have a real issue with that. Now, I don't really know what the law is for that, to be honest.
I don't know. I asked a traffic warden the other day. They turned up here outside the school the first time I think in nine years that I've lived there.
And it was two of them. One was hiding in the bushes and the other one was hiding underneath a car. And I was, I said, Oi! He said, What? I said, Can I ask you a question? He said, No, we're trying to catch people out here.
Why do you think I'm hiding in the bushes? So people can, when they park their car, we can give them a ticket and get a commission. And I'll be a hero in the office. I said, Sure, I'll climb into the bushes with you.
He said, There's not enough room. I said, Come on, there's always room for a small one. Which brings me to that.
Why is it? And I'm coming from someone that isn't, I'm not particularly small myself. Okay, so I'm not, I'm not judging. I'm just pointing out something that I've noticed over the years.
And also I'm saying, Why is it when it's two people sitting on a sofa? Okay, technically, the sofa is supposedly big enough for three. Not really. I mean, who wants to sit next to each other, really? I mean, if I'm on a sofa, I'll sit one end and I'll have as much of a gap as possible.
Unless the other person, you know, if I'm in a relationship with them, like, that'd be different. But even then, I don't know. I forget it's been so long.
But I don't want to be too close to them, to be honest. But really, I think a sofa, a three seater sofa, unless it's massive, would probably be for two adults and a little kid, probably a family sofa. There'd be enough room for the little kid or for a dog in the middle.
And that'd be it. I've noticed, and I'm not saying every time, but every time, whenever I've been sitting on a sofa, and someone else is sitting on the other end of the sofa, and I'm thinking, good, please, you know, maybe it's at a meeting that I've gone to or something. I don't know.
I don't want to go into details of that. Nothing weird, just, but it's somewhere that I'm at. And I'm sort of just happen to be, you know, sitting on a sofa, which is weird.
Guaranteed to hear a voice, room for a little one. And so far, I don't know how to put this. So far, it's never been a little one.
It's always, it's, I mean, once the set actually tipped over in protest, it was, I mean, three of me would be too much. Probably two of me would be too much on a sofa now. But you know, the other end was quite, it wasn't a lot.
I mean, at one point, I was the other person, the other end of the sofa was tipping up, because I'm so heavy. But I would never do that. You know, I'm aware enough to know that if there's two people sitting either end of a sofa, I'm not going to say room for a little one, because that's not fair on them.
The last thing they're going to want to do is see my big bum heading towards them, as I bend over to like sit down. That's not fair. No one wants to, no one wants to see that.
It's just, it's like trying to squeeze into the middle. It's like, you know, it's, it's literally, it's like trying to, trying to park a lorry in a disabled parking space, you know, just it's not enough room. So I'm saying, or any, any space in a car in a car park really doesn't have to be disabled space, but I'm just thinking sometimes disabled spaces have the barriers, like the metal barriers, so people can't, do they?
I might be making that bit up.
Anyway, my pet peeve, one of my pet peeves is parking on the pavement. And I should have a pizza tonight. I do have a pizza in the fridge, the freezer.
I messed up. I paid my bills. And I just left myself.
I didn't have, I went to the petrol station. I didn't have enough money for the stuff I wanted to get. Oh, it's a little bit embarrassing, because I had to, there's a new bloke working there.
And he was just training. And he had to just take off one of the items. And he'd never done it before.
So the manager was behind him showing him what to do. So I had to say to him, I'm sorry about that. I know what it's like, you know, when you get your first job, not your first job, but the first week of the job, you'll get the most awkward situations you're ever going to probably get.
The till will break down, there'll be a power cut. There'll be awkward customers, all kinds of stuff that you probably never ever have again. All in the first week.
It's just, it's a weird one. I don't know why that is. But it was the same in the call centers.
And they said that to us, you know, you'll have the most awkward customers of your entire time working there, all in one week. It's not that you won't have any others, but you'll never have a week like this. Because, but then a lot of it is people are asking stuff that in six months time, I'll be able to answer instantly.
But I don't know the answer. And this bloke will be able to delete the item within seconds, and it might be an issue. But he doesn't know how to do that yet.
So it's, it's even little things can seem complicated, can't they? But I said to him, sorry about that, I wouldn't do that to anyone, because I've been in your situation. He said, well, you used to work here, did you? I said, no, no, it's stupid. I didn't work there.
All the work here. He said, well, it's a job. I said, hardly.
I said, no, I didn't. I said, I used to work in a, not a petrol station, but I've worked in retail, used to work in a co-op behind the counter, and I was useless at the job. I wasn't so bad at stacking the shelves.
That was fairly easy. And doing the bread and stuff like that in the morning. Yes, it wasn't that complicated.
But back in them days, there was no beep, beep, beep like that, you know, he just scanned the barcodes. Everything had prices on them. They had to put the price into the till.
And I was just charging people the wrong amount of money constantly. And people would come in and buy their wheat shopping. And it must have been frustrating for them.
The thing is, I was never doing it to cause problems. You know, I wasn't doing it on purpose. And it's not like I was keeping the money in my pocket.
Although when I was there, the tools were going short. And I did start to get blamed for that. And I said, look, I'm not, they didn't have cameras either in them days.
Can you believe it? A co-op is like 1987. There's no cameras. I don't know.
I think there wasn't any cameras. And I said, look, just, I'm not a thief. I'm just really rubbish at the job.
That's all. In the end, they took me off the till when it was really busy. I was on the till when it was quiet.
But during the peak periods, they took me off the till because I was just, I wasn't great. Do you know what, right? Here's two things that I never, never understood. When I was working there, I had two experiences of women or girls that I didn't could not get my head around.
Even today. Right. So I was 17.
I'd already done two years in a chip shop. So 17, already been at work for two years. And this was April 1980.
No, it was 1988, not 87, 88. I started working in 86. So I started working in March 86.
And this was April 88. So I started working there. And I still remember the area manager was called Mr. Cook.
And he was not the friendliest little man in the world. Just I don't know about him. He just wasn't.
He didn't like me, I don't think. He didn't like me. I think it's because I kept putting him on my knee and pretending he was a ventriloquist dummy.
I didn't. And while I'm thinking that, it's really weird. You pick up your boss and put him on your knee, pretending he's a ventriloquist dummy.
That's something that's never really going to happen, is it? Bearing in mind, he was probably bigger than me. But shorter than me, I think. But you know, probably heavier.
That's weird. Anyway, he used to come and give me appraisals. And it's like, he said, you're not doing very well.
So I know that. Tell me something I don't know. He said, there's money going missing.
I know. He said, I thought, he said, I'll ask you, this is in confidence. I thought he was going to ask me if I knew who was taking the money.
I said, okay. He said, it won't go out of this room. I said, okay.
And you'll be anonymous. I thought, all right, fair enough. I didn't really know where I was going.
But I figured it was about the money. Well, he said it was about the money. So it wasn't a guess.
And I didn't necessarily like, you know, I thought he was going to ask me if I knew who it was. Because there was about five members of staff there. A couple of part-timers and the rest were full-time.
And so I'm waiting for him to start asking that question. He said, is it you? It's what me? You're the one stealing the money? I said, what? He said, are you still? I said, no. Why would I steal the money? Because to be honest, it didn't even occur to me until that point.
When I got home, I started thinking, oh, maybe I will. But it's like, I just didn't. Why would I steal the money? I mean, when I was in the chip shop, and I had no money, pretty much to spend on my own to spend.
At one point, 40 pound rent. And I was only, I was taking 47 pound a week, seven pound for food, laundry, everything, which even in 1987, wasn't a lot. So, and I used to carry the takings to the bank, we used to take takings to the bank.
And I'd be cashing up the till sometimes. Because he trusted me. And I wasn't, I didn't take any money.
Never once did I take one penny. And I suppose I could have done. In fact, I think the tills did go short a few times.
But I was never, no one ever suspected me because it's just, it's just, I don't know, just nothing, I wouldn't, it's just not my thing, you know. We all got our own little things we like to do. And it's just not one of my things I like to do.
I probably have more money if I did, but never been a, never been one into stealing money. And I've been accused. So I was, I wasn't so much accused of the co-op, but they were querying it.
They were definitely wondering if it was me. Is it you? Is it you? Is it? And no. And the tills were short.
It wasn't me. I said, the only thing it could be is if I've given the wrong change. That's possible.
But I tried to be quite good with that. Because the thing is, I would charge people the wrong amount of stuff. Okay? That's a fact.
I would charge people the wrong amount, because I'd add it up wrongly on the till, which is basically just a calculator with a drawer where you put money in. So I'd add up stuff wrong. So maybe I've charged someone, I don't know, 26 pound instead of 22 pound or 26 pound instead of 28 pound, or, you know, it might be, I don't know, above or below whatever.
But whatever money they gave me went into the till. So even though I was making mistakes, there was no financial gain to me. It was just incompetence, pure incompetence from my part.
And I learned quite early when I did, I worked in a chip shop, we had tills, exactly the same thing. You put in the price and you take the money. And the first thing I learned is you put the 20 pound notes and the 10 pound notes in the correct places.
Because then if someone says, I gave you a 10, like 10, 20 pound note, 10 pound note and five pound note, and one pound coins, but the notes always make sure you always put the notes in the right place. So you close the till and someone says, wait a minute, I gave you 10 pound. And I'd only given them change from a five pound.
I could open the till, look in the five pound compartment. If there was a 10 pound note in the five pound compartment, then that was done. Sorry.
And it was sorted. There you go, there's your 10 pound. And I walk out, walk out with like, made a profit of about six pounds because I forget to take the other five pound back.
But forgetting that is, it was just an obvious thing. If the money wasn't in the correct, if it was all correct, then sometimes you'd have to wait and you'd have to, I think my boss would have to cash up there and then to see, but it's not worth it for a couple of pounds anyway. But if someone's ordered like 20 quid's worth of stuff, because 20 pound was a fair amount back then.
So yeah, we had money go missing. I think one person got, I think they got sacked for stealing, I think. But I never, yeah, I got accused of stealing.
So I got kind of accused or suspected at the co-op and it wasn't me. It wasn't me. And then I worked in a bar again, this was the same year, 88 Christmas, 1988.
And again, the same thing, tills, no cameras, no proper tills, you had to put everything in. And I added stuff up in my head was never the easiest thing. I mean, over the years, two years of doing it and the fish and chips being, I kind of, I started to get used to the prices, if you know what I mean.
If someone ordered fish and chips or cod and chips or pasty, I kind of knew what things were and it became part of my brain a little bit. With the work in a pub, that was different. I remember I was struggling to sleep because I kept adding stuff up in my head while I was asleep, while I was trying to sleep.
Because it was just, yeah, I didn't enjoy it. They accused me of stealing because there's money going missing. And I pointed out that, again, I might be incompetent and I was charging people wrong amounts of money, but whatever money they gave me, I put into the till.
And some people were so silly, they'd be getting cheap drinks all night long. So I'd be charging them maybe £7 for £10 worth of drinks by mistake, by just adding it up wrong. And they'd have like five rounds.
And the sixth round, I'll charge them £7 or maybe whatever, the right price and they'd complain to the manager. And then the manager would come along and he'd add it all up because how come he's charging me £7 or £10 now instead of £7. And it's been £7 for this round all night.
And the manager or the assistant manager would add it all up and saying, well, it's supposed to be £10. So you've got a good deal, you've had five rounds. And now they're so stupid.
Why complain if they knew they were getting a good deal? What did they think that was going to happen by complaining that I was charging the right amount of money? But they were probably drunk by then anyway, but it was so tough. I said, that was really silly of you. He said, what did you say? I said, that was really silly of you.
I mean, you just got a really cheap night because of my incompetence. He said, what did you say? And one of his mates said, sorry, he's got hearing issues. He forgot to bring his hearing aids out.
I said, okay, I didn't realise. He said, who said that? Who said that? What did you say? Who said that? And he said, sorry, he forgot his glasses. I'm being silly now.
I'm moving on. Oh, dear. This is my Saturday afternoon mood.
Oh, dear. Anyway, here's the weird thing. At the co-op, I'm living above the shop at this point, renting off the manager.
And she lives up there. She gets it part of her job. And she lets me move into the spare room.
Things are quite good actually. And it's weird because I was more often late for work now than I was when I lived around the corner. I had to travel.
But it was good. Yeah, it was quite nice to live close. Anyway, I want to come to the to the girls in a minute, because that was why I started this off.
I want to talk about weird experiences. I could speak for a year about weird experiences with females that I had, but I won't. And I'm sure each of those individual women could speak fully for about three years about the weird experiences with me.
So let's not do tit for tat. Excuse the pun. And he, she, okay, basically what happened is the co-op took this very seriously about the money going missing.
Because it wasn't little amounts. It was much more than a little like it was. I don't like it wasn't just pennies.
That's what I mean. And I came in, the police came in one day and took away the manager. I arrested her and took her away.
Who is my, my landlord, or landlady, whatever you want to call her. And like, what the hell's going on here? And turned out it was her. Now, they didn't have cameras because they could have seen it with a camera, couldn't they? Although I think she might have blocked the camera out.
But because she had a back to the camera, I don't know. But basically, they sent CID in. That's the same thing as FBI, I think over here.
Or maybe it was the CID, CID? FBI? Was it FBI? I don't know. Sent the FBI in anyway. And undercover.
And what they did is they gave her a marked note. And it was a 20 pound note or something like that. Maybe it was a 50 pound note.
Probably I don't think we saw many 50 pound notes in them days. So a 20 pound note, probably I don't know. Anyway, they marked it.
And by marked, they didn't make a hole in it or anything. They, I think they probably used some kind of special pen that could be seen underneath ultraviolet light, something like that. And they bought something, purchased something.
She was behind the till. Maybe they've been in a few times and done it with different people, different members of staff. But anyway, they gave it to her.
Apparently, there's another one of the plainclothes people were standing in the queue or standing watching her while she was doing that. And they saw that she put it in her pocket. Now the person behind the counter, you know, the customer couldn't see that.
But this person was standing in a way that they could see it. Well, they came in about 10 minutes later with the police. And searched her handbag.
And they basically pulled out the money. So can you empty what your handbag in that? And she said, What are you doing? What's going on? They said, Well, we believe that you've stolen. You're stolen some money.
She said, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't. And the manager.
And they said, We know you're the manager. That's why it's quite serious. And they said, Well, we don't have cameras.
You couldn't have seen me on a camera, because cameras haven't been put into supermarkets yet. Not around here, at least, because we're in the countryside. And she said, Yeah, I realize that.
They should probably be around for that two or three years. I'll be everywhere. Do you think so? Yes, I do.
Oh, what about the internet? When do you think that will come along? Oh, I've got about 10 years where that comes along. Oh, what about AI? I think it started on AI. I mean, you're not going to believe the upheaval that's going to cause people.
And no one's going to know what to believe anymore. You know, images and pictures, they'll be actually they'll actually be videos of Donald Trump and Putin having a having a wrestling match. And some people believe it's true.
Some people believe it's fake. Who's Putin? And who's Trump? Don, Donald Duck? What Trump? It doesn't matter that he's going to be the president and the other one is the the king of Russia. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry. I forgot to look into the future. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway, we have to check your money. How are you going to do that? All money is the same. What's the 20 pound notes? Well, no 20 pound notes are different from 10 pound notes.
But all 20 pound notes are the same. She said, Ah, but we we've we've marked the notes. We believe that you've got a marked note inside your handbag in your purse.
She said, How can you tell that? How can you tell this much? And she said, because of this, she reached out in her bag, and she just froze. It was like a scene from Narnia. Honestly, like remember, then when they freeze, she freezes animals and stuff into stone, or is it ice? Is it stone or ice? I can't remember.
But anyway, and he's like, Oh, what do you mean? Oh, I forgot it. If you got it, and the other CID FBI agent said, got what? You know, the thingy. The thingy? Yeah, ultraviolet thing.
Yeah, the light. No, I thought you had it. I haven't got it.
I thought it was in the bag, but it's not. Oh, I don't know. Oh, wait a minute.
I think I left it in the car. Can you go and get it then, please? You're not my boss. We're equal here.
You're not in charge of me. You don't tell me what to do. Especially not in front of people in a supermarket.
Okay, John, we'll talk about this when we get home over dinner. Okay. So they brought it in and they showed that it was the money.
She had loads of notes in there. Well, she just had loads of notes in there. They weren't marked, but she had a lot of cash.
Like, wow, she's doing quite well for herself. Considering she wasn't, she must have been earning okay to be a manager. But we got a suspended sentence.
So I was still living there. And she got made, she was evicted. So I was evicted.
So we were homeless. But we got given, I think, two months notice. And eventually I found somewhere and, you know, just moved on from there.
But that was, that was my first eviction, I think. My first official eviction as an adult. First of a few.
So that was, that was strange. I'm being accused in the, in the chip, not in the chip shop, in the pub. They said, oh, you've got to have more training.
I didn't go to the training because I had New Year's dinner with my nan and grandad and my dad and, you know, because I missed Christmas because I was working. And they said, well, if you don't turn up for training, don't turn up. I said, okay.
I said, well, you stick it, stick it where the sun don't shine. And the manager said, what would you say? I said, nothing. Love you.
And that was it. So and then they were telling people that I got sacked for stealing. Imagine doing that this day and age.
I could have sued them. My good reputation. Unfortunately, by not this day and age, I'm too old now.
I don't have a good reputation, but at 18, you know, I was kind of starting out in life in a little town. If you get a reputation of being an old tea leaf, people, well, it could affect my chances of getting employment. So it didn't, but could have done.
I think luckily for me, it was a dive bar. It was the worst pub in the town. It was absolutely horrible place, which is ironic because it was the pub connected to a nice hotel.
Weird, eh? But they had a separate bar for the hotel customers. This was for the locals. And it was a dark, dirty dive.
It was, and it was just rough. It was, it was the roughest pub in town. And I can't remember the name of it now.
I forget. It's been closed for a long, it's been closed for decades. The flying, let's see if I can remember the name of it.
Let's have a look. Oh, maybe not. No, it can't be that one.
I thought it was a fly in something, but it can't because, really? Marlborough, I think it is, but it's not the same place as it was before anyway. Report closed, reported closed, reported. That's what it's saying on here.
Okay, that's not there. It was not a nice, the hotel was okay, but it wasn't a nice pub. I remember I worked upstairs on one of the function nights in a bar upstairs and it was lovely.
It was a really nice big function room. I had weddings and kind of stuff like that. But that pub, the flying dirt bag or something, I think it was called.
Okay, two weird experiences with females. I say girls because I was, I was a boy and they were girls at the time. You know, I was a teenager and they were teenagers.
And the first one was this girl. She was probably about 16. I don't know.
And she came in and handed me a note. I thought, okay, weird. I mean, normally post, the postal services do that.
But she handed me a note, like we're not, we're not a post office. We're the co-op, you know, but another, I was going to say that, but I realized perhaps it wasn't very funny. And then she ran out.
So I read it and there was a love note, a love letter telling me how much she liked me. And she wanted to meet up and her telephone number was on there and everything. And I'm thinking, okay, so she's seen me.
This was during the day. She's seen me during the day, multiple times. I kind of recognized that she was regular coming in daily.
She was young, probably 15, 16. I don't know. I was 17.
And I really don't recall. But anyway, I, she might've been 17. I don't care.
I really don't know. I don't know. I didn't even get to, literally, I had a name.
I wish I kept the note, the letter. I wish I kept all this stuff, but it's hard to do that with my lifestyle. I moved around too much.
I was, it's hard to keep, it's much easier to keep hold of stuff when you're in one place or if you've got storage or something. Anyway, I, I phoned her up. I thought, okay.
I phoned her up. And I phoned her up the next day. Didn't call her in the evening.
I called her in the morning. And I think it was a Saturday morning. I don't know.
I think it was something, maybe. Anyway, she invited me around. I went around.
She was doing her hair and that was it. That was the entire relationship. She was doing her hair in the mirror, drying her hair with a hairdryer, and then talking to me and then lost interest.
And I left and never saw her again. And to this day, I don't know what happened. Really, genuinely don't know what happened.
I mean, some could argue, maybe if I'd taken her flowers, you know, maybe if I carried flowers when she opened the door, if I was holding a nice bouquet of flowers, maybe a box of chocolates when she opened the front door, instead of a bag of poo. I was going, I was going through a period and I still do it now. I pick up dog poo.
I do it with him, but I actually pick up dog poo, other people's dog poo. There's not that much around, but if it's on the pavement and there's kids in the, in the park and little kids fall over and I'm thinking, I want to, I don't want to leave that there. So I'll pick it up and put it in there with a bag, use a bag now and put it into the bin.
I don't do all the time. It's not my hobby. You know, it's not, it's not my favorite thing ever.
It's just, uh, anyway, that was just really weird because she went to all to the effort of writing a note and then she invited me around her house. It was the right telephone number. It was the right address.
It's not like someone else was doing it just as a prank on her. I mean, I didn't check. Maybe it was April the 1st.
Maybe it was an April Fool's joke. I don't know, but she'd seen me in the daytime as well. So it's not like I was, she'd met me in a really, I'll say a dark alley.
That would be weird, but you know, and fell for me in it. She, she met me in a really dimly lit nightclub and didn't know what I actually looked like in the daytime. And then she saw me in the light for the first time.
Cause you see that in nightclubs, don't you? That's why you need to get out of there before the lights come on. Because sometimes nightclubs, they'll just play the last song. Suddenly it's like floodlit and everyone can see what each other looks like.
And it's like, Oh, really? Like both, both, both people look at each other thinking, no, I spent the last two and a half hours dancing with this person. Really? But usually it's internally, but I used to internally in your mind. I mean, I wasn't dancing internally, but I've actually literally had women just walk away from me, like declaring how much they liked me.
I'm so lovely. Oh, I can't believe I've been coming to this nightclub for four years since I left school and never met anyone so nice as you. And you're so, you're so funny and you're soppy and you're, you're romantic and you're generous and you're a good dancer.
And you're so just, you're just so perfect. Lights come on. See ya.
Sometimes I don't even say see ya. Over once the lights came on and she kicked me in the shin. So I looked down at my shin, I looked up and she was gone.
Didn't even get to see what she looked like. It's rude. The other weird one I had again, very strange.
And I liked this one, this one, this, this girl, she was about the same age as me, probably 17, 18. And she was working for the co-op. She worked in the next town.
This is during a period, I think when my boss got sacked. So there was short staff. So she came to help with the short staff, short staffedness.
And we hit it off. We hit it off really good, really big, you know, laughing all day long together. And I fancied her and she seemed to like me as well.
At the end of the day, we swapped numbers. She gave me, not only that, she rearranged for me to go and see her. Gave me her address, everything.
And I went to see her, I think it was on a Sunday, might have been a Saturday, probably a Sunday. It was a Sunday because, yeah, it was a Sunday, because she was working on Saturday. In fact, it might have actually, it might have been Saturday that we were working together.
We might have even worked two days together. So it wasn't just one day. So we really liked it.
Well, I really liked her. And I thought she really liked me. And she was, she was and still is the type of, you know, what I've always just, you know, the kind of person I would go for.
We had our types, and she was my type. She had a head. That's pretty much all I look for.
As long as she's got a head, that's it. And gives kindness and gives kindness out of, gives, gives. I remember when I was in the pub, all people going about, oh, you've got to give a good head, you've got to, you've got to put, you know, the foam on top of the, of the beer.
It's so important. It's got to, you can't win because some people moan that their head's not big enough, not giving good enough head for the beer, the lager or whatever it is. And other people moan saying there's too much head, you're giving too much head, because the bigger their head is, or the more foam there is on top of the glass, the less lager or beer there is.
Some people are like, I don't, I don't want you to give me any head. I just want it, I want the, the liquid to be right. I want a rim.
I want it right to the rim. You know, they used to call it a rim job in the thing. So we don't want, we don't want it overflowing over the tip.
We want it right to the rim. And other people, the thing is, you can't carry that. You can't carry it.
So they have to drink it first. They have to have a mouthful before they could carry the rim job away. I mean, I suppose it's stopped being a rim once they take it.
But there's like, I have a rim job, I'll have a frothy, a nice, I'll give me head on that one. And sometimes, some of the weird names for the cocktails as well. I never understood that.
You know, there's some of the girls, they kind of, yeah, like sex on the beach. Like we literally were opposite the beach. I got very confused.
And I would say, you talking about a drink? Or quite often at that point, the boyfriend would say, Oi, there's more girlfriend. What are you saying? I said, what am I saying? Did you forget your hearing aid? I haven't got a hearing aid. Then someone said, who said that? And it will be the bloke without glasses.
But it's a different group. I didn't, they all look the same to me. Drunk people.
And so doing the rim, I never saw even see is like, okay, you don't want froth. But if you go and get, I don't drink alcohol anymore. But I noticed that if you get, when I used to drink in pubs, if you get a rimmer, a rim one, like it goes right to the top.
Often it's because it's flat. Although it's something you could do. I found this, this a ways you can actually, you can use the rim to create a froth.
So try this. But what I would say is don't, don't do the full rim job. Don't, don't fill it right to the top.
If you, if you got, it might work with fizzy drinks, but I think it's lager. So if you put some lager in a, in a, well, what I drink now, if you put some like a pint glass and it's like three quarters full, maybe. And what you do is you get another pint glass and you just rub the bottom.
So you rub the bottom against the rim. Okay. So rub your bottom against the rim.
So the bottom of that glass against the rim of the other glass on top, rub it around a few times and then just bang it on top. Not hard, not hard enough to break it obviously, because that would just be wasteful. Bang it.
So you rub it around the rim and the bum, the bottom around the rim and just bang it. And it's like, it becomes frothy. Now you'd, it would be better if you could see my hand movements because I was really describing it.
I'm quite proud of myself actually. It was quite good, the way I described that whole process. But how did I get talking about beer? I can't even remember.
Anyway, she, this, this girl, I really liked in the co-op. She, she worked in different co-op. I just, if she had worked in my co-op like all the time, I think I might have been able to have a relationship with her.
I don't know. Well, I think clearly not because of what happened, but. So I turned up at her door.
It was a Sunday afternoon, probably about two o'clock. And I'm excited because I really like her. I do really like her.
And super excited to, I mean, she could potentially be my first proper girlfriend. I can't have had a proper girlfriend when I was 16, but you know, not really, well, kind of, I suppose. Yeah.
My first girlfriend after leaving school was, I can't remember her name, but did she have, did she have red hair? I think she might've done, you know, I think she might've done. Wow. I don't know.
Anyway, she used to wear a hat. So you might know her. But anyway, I was, yeah, I, I, yeah, I did.
I liked her. Anyway, she was a friend. Yeah.
She was a friend of one of the girls that worked in the chip shop. That's how I met her. And I asked her out and she said, yes.
I was only practicing asking girls out. I didn't think the first one would say yes. I was kind of a bit stomached really.
Stomached? Slobbered? Slummered? I couldn't exactly say to her, can you just hold on to that in case I can't find anyone better?
Because that would be rude. because you know I was I was gonna literally I was gonna ask everybody my friend said just ask everyone out this is a girl said to me so just ask every girl out that you think is nice ask them out get used to it you get used to being told no and it won't affect you so much so the first person I asked out was her friend and she said yes I was like oh but she was she was nice I liked anyway this one in
the next town in the co-op we went there I went there and you know part of me I was looking forward to seeing her at home I didn't know she lived at home with her parents I think but there's no one around her parents weren't there and I thought we'd be going out maybe doing something I don't know what cuz I was 17 I didn't there's limitations there and I'd go to I didn't look 18 so I couldn't go drinking really I did sometimes there was the odd pub that I
could get into some pub owners didn't care about age as long as there was they had money coming in but so I go in in fact I don't think she even answers the door her friend answered the door I was like first of all like oh you look different she said no it's not me no Tracy's in there I'm Babs so okay I don't know if that was her name I just decided to call her Babs for the sake of the story really the weirdest thing happened not in a good
way God blimey that'd be great if it was in a good way all I wanted to do was get to know the girl that I was visiting it wasn't about any kind of anything else but just spending time with her cuz I liked her have a laugh you know her friend would not stop from the second I got there she was grabbing me she was trying to flirt with me sit on my lap all kinds of stuff and in the end I just left and I don't know why she did
it admittedly I could have probably tried to push her away but it's it's hard isn't it it it was it was no pun intended it was hard because I've never had that situation before to have someone that I didn't like I didn't like this girl I liked the one I was visiting but a friend for some reason decided to I guess give me a hard time it wasn't I don't think she liked me but for some reason she was decided to get in the way between me and her friend and
it worked and I said I'll see you later then I put up with it for about an hour and it was it was continuous seriously she was just her the the girl I went to see was unhappy she was really not enjoying the whole thing I wasn't enjoying the whole thing the only one who's enjoying it was the other girl that was basically trying to well was she she succeeded in ruining everything and it was such a shame because this girl was one of the first times I ever met anyone
that I got on with that well that like I just laughed all day long with when we were working together we had the time of our lives well I had the time of my life it was so funny it was and even if we didn't even if we hadn't had a I think there was chemistry there I think there was and to be with someone that made me laugh as well as someone that I was attracted to was almost couldn't imagine anything better than that and this happened hasn't it happened
happened very often in my life and I'm just like why why would someone do that like to try and get in the way of I mean unless and again it's not like we'd met in a dark dingy room and then suddenly she sees me in the sunlight and she's thinking wasn't anything like that because she'd spent all day with me during the daytime so she knew exactly what I look like she knew what I smelt like she knew what I say you know I mean she'd been close to me so
she knew that I wasn't going to introduce anything new to her senses I mean far or well I probably did but you know generally I don't know and I was slim back then it's not like I turned up and had a different body to what she thought you could see I was slim there was I mean the little jackets they gave me to wear at the co-op and the trousers I mean there's no way you could think that I was anything but really really skinny and I was so there's no
there's no thinking always a big strong fellow and then I turn up and she sees I'm skinny she knew I was skinny I was skinny right from the start that's what I'm still I'm skinny in my head I can't believe that my whole body probably weighed as much as my leg weighs now it's ridiculous I wonder if that's probably not true is it I left school I was eight and a half stone when I left school I'm literally double that nearly now crazy crazy man right again I've been talking for
way too long but those very two strange events that happened oh yeah my peeve my pet peeve parking on the pavement I don't know why it just bugs me not so much for myself although sometimes you know if you if you walk in your dog especially a little dog like him or anyone any dog but I don't want to walk in the road if I'm walking with a little kid which I'm not but I have I've done in the past I like girlfriends with kids and stuff I don't want to
walk in the into the into the road with with a little kid I don't want to oh if I'm with my Nan when I was with my Nan I didn't have to walk in the road with her I only had to stay on the pavement because sometimes I'd be with my Nan there'd be a car parked on the pavement and it wasn't enough room for both of us to get through so she'd have to walk on the road anyway today I noticed it when I last took him out there was
a car outside this place parked on the pavement and there's a car on the other side of the road parked on the pavement and I was like this is getting ridiculous so I was internally I was getting annoyed just not like hugely but it's like inconsiderate inconsiderate and I was like oh because I saw the one outside the house as I left the house took him out for the D.A.W.A.L.K. which I can't say because he'll know and then on the way back saw that other car and I thought grrrr pushed
me over my edge anyway as I'm walking home so I'm walking away from the car I hear some sound and I notice I look back Finney's looking usually tells me whenever there's anything happening in the street and a bloke was coming out the house helping elderly person into the back of the car and I thought oh I felt guilty because they they parked on the pavement because they were helping a disabled person to get into the car my concern is for people that are disabled you know that's why I like
people parking on the pavement those in wheelchairs not wheelchairs yeah wheelchairs push push chair prams wheelchairs yeah that's the right word isn't it and is how they're supposed to it's not fair that I have to get into the road and that if I ever have to use a wheelchair I'm gonna I'm gonna force my way through those gaps and honestly I will I'm gonna be I'm gonna be one that's really grumpy old man instead of a grumpy middle-aged man well I felt guilty when I saw that I felt guilty and
I'm walking home and even when I get upstairs I'm sitting down on the sofa and I'm thinking about it and I'm thinking about the lady and seeing her being helped into the car and I still I still had that feeling of guilt I had that guilty feeling sitting here and I thought I wish I hadn't let down the tires too late now though and it's got move on by the way Hawaii five-o the tune came to me do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do and you've got the scenery all these waves and people surfing beautiful sunny and you've got Hawaii Five-0 Mr.
Hawaii Five-0 there as well with his greased back hair looking lovely and it's like it just came to me last night the tune so I couldn't think of it yesterday when I was doing the podcast episode so it kind of brings us to the end I don't know if you heard him going so I'm gonna go it's I want to have an early night tonight and get up early as morning to watch the boxing because because because because it is Canelo against Mungui and I predict that Mungui is gonna win
that's why I predict so there's your prediction yeah that's why I predict and he won't be favorite Canelo will be favorite but I think Mungui will win the fight I don't say how I just think he's gonna be the winner at the end I would probably say I probably say by decision you know or the second thing would be a draw but I think it's I think he's gonna win by decision because he's been shown how to do it by what's his name light heavyweight champion you know the thing is
Canelo he's unless he I mean recently he hasn't been a volume a volume fighter anymore he sort of waited wanting waiting to get that like knockout but with Munguia Mungui I don't think he's gonna get that and he's he's going against someone 10 years younger a former world champion so yes I think I think I think Mungui will be the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world by about 6 o'clock tomorrow morning oh yes UK time of course UK time probably about 11 11 11 15 11 30 US time depending
on where you live so that's it no no no no no so I'm gonna go thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy be gentle with yourself lots of love bye
