Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name is Jason. Yep, that is my name.
And please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. And this is just me talking about something. I don't know.
My neighbors just given Vinnie some banana, but it was fried banana, fried banana slices. Smells lovely. And it was a little bit too hot for him to eat to start with.
And I gave him a little corner of it, which was cool. And he just left it on the floor. I brought the rest of it upstairs.
Just one, not long slice, a side slice. Is that the right word? Like I said, it's not a big piece, but as soon as I got upstairs, he was like, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me now. I was like what? Give me the yummy banana slice.
You don't even like banana Vin. Give me, he was shaking, give me the banana. It's like, wow.
So I gave it to him. I thought he's just going to leave it. No, he's eating the whole thing up.
Loved it. How's that for a beginning? That's a great story to start with, isn't it? It's got everything you need. It's got everything you could ever need in a story.
It's got a little dog and a banana. I mean, what else is there? I mean, that's pretty much what all stories are made of, isn't it? You look through any story, any children's story from you know, the last 200 years, and they all have that content, a banana and a little dog somewhere. Or maybe they don't.
I lose track. I do. So today, I basically I have been working on the, well I got up this morning.
I did another very long, very long recording last night, lasted nearly two and a half hours, the Q&A Friday. And that was number 1143. Wow.
Did I say only listen when you can safely close your eyes? I don't even hear myself say it anymore. Don't even hear myself. But yeah, he's now digging into his bone.
I shouldn't be tired. It's only eight past seven, eight minutes past seven. Oh.
So I've been working on the, what are they called? The Sleepy Boring Objects videos. I've now uploaded 33 out of 36. Not just uploaded, but created the videos out of the audios and create a video.
And so I'll give you an example. So basically, I'll put it on mute so it doesn't. Okay.
So when I play it, or when you play it, there's an image to start with, which is just Sleepy Boring Objects image on the left. And on the right hand side is the actual podcast image of that particular podcast. And because it's a Belgium, this one I'm looking at and it's got lots of things from Belgium, like Belgian chocolate and the cathedral and things like that.
So Belgian buns as well, Belgian buns. So then you play it. And after five seconds, because I start talking straight away, there is a spiral spinning round on the right hand side, which I just realized is distorting the picture.
But that would be normal. There's no reason why it wouldn't really, I guess. Oh no, it's not.
It's only distorting it. It's the internet. That's all.
So it's a spiral continues throughout the whole thing. So this is 54 minutes long. So it's a moving image.
It's not the same as actually having a human talking. And but the whole, I'm quite pleased with it, to be honest, I am. And I've done the same thing for each recording, but a different spiral for each recording for each video rather.
So yeah, so I'm nearly completed that. I've uploaded them, but I haven't actually, let's say revealed them, I haven't made them public yet. So everything else that I'm going to make public is now public.
So there's 612 videos all together. So pretty much I think I've found everything that there is to find. And I've uploaded them all.
So I'm now in the process of just putting the finishing touches. I'm in the process of downloading, or is it finished now? Yeah, downloading number 34. So two more.
And then what I'll do is, I think I'll release 10 today, make 10 available to view. And then tomorrow do 10 the next day do 10 maybe, or maybe do half today and half tomorrow. 34 is quite a lot to release in one day, really.
But what I've noticed is the stats are still increasing, still getting more subscribers. So if you're one of the people that's subscribing, thank you to my YouTube channel, that is. If you haven't already, if you wanted to, you can find me on YouTube, just put my name in, and you'll find me.
There's a picture of me as a 10 year old or something like that. So yeah, that's, that's it really. There's just, I think that's nearly everything regarding YouTube.
And I would like to say thank you to a couple of people. And let me have a look. Let me have a look.
Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. Right. So I'd like to say thank you to Minky Rat and Mary for your PayPal gifts.
Thank you very much. It was very much needed. So thank you really appreciate it.
And I posted on Facebook to say thank you as well. Also, to welcome Minky Rat to the it's not actually her name, but that's what I'm going to use, because that's her Facebook name. So thank you.
Welcome to the group, Jason Newland's Boring Group. So there's now 167 members. And it's only taken five years to get to that.
So it's going well. If you would like to join, then just go to Facebook, Jason Newland's Boring Group, and just join, just ask to join it is a private group. It's just for people that really, really like what I do.
And I don't add anyone really on Facebook anymore. It's just if you want to join the group, join a group. And yeah, cool.
You're welcome. Also, when it comes to the Q&A Friday, you can ask a question on there. It's the best place to ask.
Although at the moment, I do have my website backup. And so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the website, to be honest, but we'll see. We will see.
It's at the moment, if you go to the front, the first page, jasonnewland.com, it's all got all the latest recordings on there. So all the most updated going back all the way to the first of May until now, which is quite a few recordings, to be fair. Blimey, yes, lots and lots.
And yes, I've got 1258 subscribers now on YouTube. And I'm just getting more. I'm not quite sure why.
But yeah, the it's really gone up a lot. I think the reason the reason, I mean, if we go back to the 17th of May, I was getting 38, 29, 22, 24 plays a day. So you know, it wasn't great.
The last time I got a really low view was on the 19th of May 46. Since then, it's gone up. I had a particular day on the 23rd.
Well, a couple of good days 22nd of May 1065 views, 23rd of May 1069. And then it went down, but just it was still up on what it was before. If that makes sense.
And now I'm averaging in four to 500 plays a day. It's so I've had 8.5 1000 plays in the last 30 days. But most of those have been since by the 30th.
Yeah, pretty much the end of May. Near the end of well 21st of May. So it's I'm quite pleased with how it's going.
Because in the past, when I've uploaded all my stuff, sometimes I've had people just switch off because it's like too much, too much of an overload, too many recordings, too many videos and white stuff. But I have specifically decided specifically to have everything on there and made that decision and stick into it. And it's, I was gonna say it's paying off, it's not paying off, but it's, it's not I'm not ruining things.
So what I'm going to be doing going forward, I'm just probably repeating myself. And what I've already said previously, but what I'm going to be doing is making live, not live streams, necessarily, but videos of me on camera. Doing all the different podcasts I did, not just the Let Me Bore You To Sleep.
So that should be fun. I just said, that'll be fun. Yeah.
I just need to get all the old stuff done. And up. Once it's done.
Then I can, you know, move on because I can probably do 20, make 20 videos a day of the old stuff. But still, I mean, 20 a day, 30 days, 10, so free up 10 a day, 30 days is 300 600 videos a month. So still, it's quite a bit, isn't it? I can get quite a lot done in a month.
So 600 videos in a month. So it's probably going to take me three or four months to get everything up and running all the old stuff. And you know, all the podcasts I've done, I should be able to get them all up there within about four months, maybe five months.
So we're probably looking at the end of the year before it's all done. It is getting very teed up. Did I tell you that I tidied up? Had a good old tidy up, moved one of my desks into the storage room.
And made a bit more room in here. And there's still one more table I need to sort out, which is over there. But okay, wait a sec, Vinnie wants something.
What is it you want, Vin? What do you want? Like that? There you go. He wanted one of his bones. Okay, fair enough.
So he's got a bone, it was on the top. So all the little bits and bobs that he had all lying around and they're all gone. And he doesn't like it.
Because the place was a complete mess, but it was his mess. He'd organised the mess. He had a big massive pile of bones all in one space.
So I got rid of most of the stuff. And he's just staring at me. How could you do that, daddy? How could you? And also, I haven't had any treats for him today.
I had a few little ones left and I give him a couple more out. But he's eating his dinner. I'll try to spread his food out a little bit.
So he had his had a packet this morning, had half a packet earlier, late afternoon. What is it you want, Vin? What? You're screaming. What is it you want? What? What is it? Which one do you want? But you want all of them.
He's got his pile of bones back. So it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 8 rawhide bones. Blimey.
I think he's got a favourite one and he's just trying to choose which one to chew. Chew, which one to choose. So yeah, so the YouTube's going okay.
It's all right. It's going to take a while. Oh, he's chosen one to chew on now.
He's happy. I don't figure out. They all they all look the same to me.
Surely they all taste the same. But he's got his favourites. So, yeah, so I'm kind of pleased with how the YouTube's going.
You know, it's very early days, really, because I have I did go through a little period when I was uploading videos, but though I was doing what I'm doing now. But they all had background music. And YouTube didn't like that.
Kept getting copyright strikes and stuff, even those copyright free music. And then I went through a phase when I was using Storyblocks, which is a supposed to be a YouTube friendly video platform where you can create videos, uploading to YouTube, copyright free music and video clips. Kept getting copyright strikes.
It was like, now he's looking for but there's nothing else up there, Vinnie. There's no up there. He's trying to get to something, but I don't know what it is he's trying to get to.
I think he's hungry. Are you hungry? I think he's hungry. I'll go and get him some dinner.
I'll be back in a second. Oh, so he's got his food now. So I just went and got him some nice bowl of food.
He's stuffing it down. It's like he's never, you know what? I didn't realize how many treats I was giving him till I didn't have any treats to give him. I think I've been overdoing it a little bit.
It's like he's never eaten in his life. The first time ever. Have you been traveling through a desert? Blimey.
I don't know if you can hear that in the background. It doesn't normally do that. He's proper scoffing it down.
The thing is, I've seen him do that before. And sometimes he throws it all up again because he eats it too quick. And he brings it up.
So I hope he doesn't do it on this occasion, because he does go to eat it again, but it grosses me out a little bit. I don't mind the throwing up. I'll clear that up.
But the fact that he goes to eat it. What are you, a dog? So the other thing I've done today is I tidied up the downstairs bin room. It's communal, but it was really messy.
You know, there's maggots in there. And I thought because the amount of flies, I thought, oh, and there was loads of maggots at the bottom on the floor. So I tried to, well, bagged up everything I could and got it all out the front in black bags.
Took me probably an hour and a half, two hours to do it. But it's done now. So that's good.
It's just one of those. It's just that we have problems with mice and in the past in the building and that bin room. I think it's a bin room.
I don't know what you want to call it, a bin room. But that's where the black bags go and the rats like to go in there. And this was like perfect for them.
The thing is, my stomach's rumbling. The council used to pick up the black bags every week. Refuge bags, you know, like they should do.
Hygienically should be collected every week, but no, every two weeks now. So there's food and there's just stuff rotting in there for two weeks, which is not good. They collect recycled in one week and black bin bags the next week.
And the whole thing is like, well, maybe I should just try and recycle more stuff, but I do try and recycle when I can. They just make it even a recycling every two weeks. Where are we supposed to put the bags in the meantime? There's nowhere to put them.
Like, you know, I don't only have recycling stuff every two weeks. It's every day, you know, every week I've got a bag or two of recycling stuff. If I've been shopping, you know, cardboard packaging, and I drink bottled water, so I get through quite a few bottles a week.
So what I end up doing is taking them to the petrol station and putting it into their recycling bin, because there's nowhere to put the bags, nowhere to put the bags. If you put the white bags out into the bin, the big bin bag place, the bin room, okay, then the dust, the dust people, dust men and women, I've never yet seen a woman doing that job yet here, but the dust, dust refuge collectors, is that the right word?
They will come and get the black bags, but they will not come and collect the white bags or the see-through bags. So you have to put them out of front.
So if that gets put down, and loads of dirty, smelly black bags are put on top of them, it's just a not very pleasant experience, as it were. So yeah, I just don't do that. I always put my, I recycle as much stuff as I can the first week, and then the second week when it goes out, I will collect stuff and put it out at the weekend for Wednesday.
So it's weird, it's just, they, they cut corners at every opportunity, and it shows. The council has started leaving parts of the grass long for the wildlife, like all the dog walkers know, the only thing that grows in there is ticks, stuff that gets onto dogs and causes problems. There's nothing, what wildlife? I've not seen a crocodile or a lion, not once.
There's nothing there, it's just insects, and they, they live in the grass anyway, they live, there's loads of, I mean the place is surrounded by fields, it's not like there's no wildlife anywhere for the wildlife to be. There's nowhere, where are the birds going to come? Well, what about the hundreds of miles of fields surrounding every town in this country? So now they're leaving the other grass to grow, so it's almost as long as the long grass.
It's difficult to walk in now, it's, it looks like, well it looks, it looks like long grass, I guess we know what long grass looks like, but it's kind of strange, it's been growing for what, three weeks now I think.
So I don't know if they're on strike, or maybe they've run out of money, because some of the governments and the councils have run out of money and almost gone bankrupt. I'm not quite sure how that works, because they're not businesses are they? So I don't know why people just don't all get together and just cut the grass. I don't myself have a lawnmower, but I would help, until my back hurts and then I stop, but I would, you know, give it a go.
I mean it's going to be quite difficult now, because the grass is so long, but it would, it would take what, five, if like a few of the neighbours, five or six, maybe ten of the neighbours all came out, it's a 30 minute job, all be done, the whole of that park will be finished, all of the other, you know what I mean, all the other bits around and everything, it just, it'd be quick, very easy, but no, we like to complain, you know, it's good to be able to have something to moan about, moan, moan, moan.
So yeah, I tidied up the cupboard downstairs, I got it all, it was weird, because one of my neighbours came out and I just realised, why am I spending this much effort tidying down there, when I don't even want to tidy my own home, but you know, it's bit by bit, isn't it, bit by bit, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bit by bit, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, so yeah, that's kind of all that's happened today, it's a Saturday, Saturdays are often quite uneventful in my life,
there's no boxing on tonight at all, there's some boxing on in the early hours of the morning in America but no nothing big so and it's weird because we've had quite a nice run of big boxing events over the last couple of months and now it's kind of you know as far as British fights I don't think there's anything fight schedule yeah fight upcoming fights so I just want to know UK can we give me UK no it can't next 30 days 4 a.m. 4 a.m. that's no good I don't
need 4 a.m. fights the United Kingdom so there's something next Friday a huge fight well it's Tank Davis's next weekend the 15th so that's something to look forward to it I don't know if it's I don't know if I'm able no I might not be able to watch it but that would be something I'd want to watch oh it's a really good bill as well you've got David Benavidez on there so they're trying to do they can't trying to do a put together like a really big bill with multiple stars
the way that Dubai have been doing so this is their their attempt I don't mean attempt horribly but this is their their version of that and these are big names in America I know I think I know two of them but maybe three four maybe so that that would be good that's next Sunday morning or Saturday evening in America but it's on prime pay-per-view okay I don't know I don't think that's available in the UK it's just America so Matias Parra so that's Bill and Smith's next their next fight in
the UK is the 15th so it's next weekend and that's on Sky Sports so Bill and Smith Riyakapoor so yeah that would be a good night actually that's in the UK so that the the night up to about 11 or whatever after that Friday 21st another fight in the in America I don't know Channel 5 Friday again what if there's a fight this Friday Saturday 22nd of June Denny against Cash cool so and then Thursday are they not now that's what Friday it's a difference as Arthur Cameron okay fair enough
I'm just trying to think of any big fights there's nothing I can see that I want to watch really Leary against Foley I don't know who so this is weird Leary so this is in Belfast there's a boxer and if they've got profiles of pictures on it's wearing glasses now you see boxers wear glasses at press conferences and you know because some boxers wear glasses for distance and stuff I don't don't need distant vision when you're boxing dear because it's close up however I don't feel ever seen a boxer's profile
where they're wearing glasses but that's the picture of the boxer which makes you wonder why not you wouldn't wear them in the ring would he but just I've never seen a boxer wear glasses in their boxing profile ever I don't think the first time ever ever ever ever ever ever well okay so there's a big fight on the 9th 29th of June Estrada against Bam Rodriguez so that's a big fight Sonny Edwards is on there as well and Ali what's the name Ali's on there she's a UK fighter so so
that's on in the UK oh so 29th of June and then in the evening or early hours of the morning on Sunday the 30th of June so it's in America that is here so here but in America so early hours here it's Tiafema Tiafena Tiafema Tiafema Lopez defending his WBO world junior world toy championship against Claggett and Ramirez against Benitez so that that's a that's definitely one I'd want to watch that's on Sky that's early hours and then Stevenson Shakur Stevenson is Saturday 6th of July again in America but it's
on Sky Sports so he's defending his world title and so that that'll be good I'd like to see that because he is Shakur Stevenson is pretty pretty special I think he struggled in his last fight but he's still really really good oh oh so that's Saturday the 6th of July early hours on a Sunday but in the evening Fischer Johnny Fischer Johnny I forget the Romford Bull they call him he's from Romford and against Babic now no offense to Babic but Johnny Fischer is I don't see how he can lose
that fight just simply because he is he is the Romford Bull he's he's a bull and he's huge he's a huge man he's a heavyweight Babic is he's a heavyweight but then he won all his fights and then he went down or did he lose I don't know I think he won all his fights and then he went down and to Bridgerweight which is the new weight division for boxing between cruiserweight and heavyweight and he lost got knocked down multiple times and then that title was taken by a Kohli I
think last week or the week before who knocked that bloke down and knocked him out so Kohli is now two-time world champion two different weights so Fischer Babic Fischer sorry Johnny Fischer I'm a fan of Babic but I just can't see Johnny Fischer is so young it's just a really young guy he's 11 and 0 mind you to be fair he's not not all of his fights have been by KO he has got a 91% knockout which is good and 10 by KO what actually if he's had 11 fights then
10 KO is pretty amazing isn't it to be honest so yeah he's only had one fight where he didn't knock them out he's 6 foot 4 25 years old and he's big big big big big so yeah he lost fought in February how long is our tour what is Wiley Reeson they only talk like Johnny Fischer what about about oh they're not they're not interested in Babic which is weird that's strange okay let's get let's get out of there I mean I think I might have just clicked on him so
the next fight really is that I'd want to watch would be so I'd watch that and then the next fight is is that the same night it's not the same night is it blimey Saturday 6th of July Sepeda and Cabrera so it's two big fights on in America on the same night that's not good so and then July 7th that's a super flyweight championship that's in Japan which means which means it means it means it could be on at a good time for us in the UK of England broadcast time
it's not saying but quite often it's in the morning and I tell you what any week where there's a world title fight in Japan is a good week for me just then you know what I can sit down at 10 o'clock in the morning and watch or 9 o'clock in the morning and watch a world title fight especially if it's Inui who is just phenomenal one of the best in the world you know I wouldn't want to do it every day but once a week really I guess that's how people
feel about football or basketball or you know when they're like cricket or whatever whatever their sport is they look forward to Wednesday night game or something like that and we don't really have that with boxing because it's not as regular you know it's it's to follow one boxer you're lucky if you see if they're at the top you're lucky if you see one fight a year never mind two or three so it's a shame you know if you follow a football team you'll see them play multiple multiple times sometimes more
than once a week but don't get that with boxing so yeah so the third team I've just seen what other ones yeah there's not really anything else that I'm particularly looking forward to to be honest in July wow that's not good Joe Joyce okay 27th of July Joe Joyce and Chisora yeah I'm definitely up for watching that that'll be on no I won't be because on TNT sports and TNT sports are rubbish see what a rubbish they're not rubbish as in rubbish but you have to pay something like 30 pound
a month to subscribe and how often do they actually put fights on you know it's like ridiculous so no I won't be watching that at least with Sky even if you're not with Sky you can just pay for the day you can have a 24-hour pass and watch the boxing or whatever sport you want to watch but not with that one I think this is sad it's sad I just I think they price themselves out of the market because a casual fan isn't gonna pay £30 a month for boxing and
that's where I think personally the satellite TV went wrong for boxing because when I was a kid when I was young but even in my 20s there were superstar boxers in the UK like superstar here well known as what in America as well so for example Lloyd Hunnigan Nigel Benn Frank Bruno yeah I'm talking about in the 90s when I was in my 20s trying to think of some others but hmm there's quite a few got to see them got to see all the big fights generally on normal terrestrial television
there was a time when there would be this Saturday night boxing on ITV the big fight and it was one of their biggest viewed shows like one-off shows of the week and then Sky kind of crept in bit by bit and overtook the boxing which meant the boxers were getting paid more money but less people were getting to watch the fights the same amount of people would turn up at the live gigs at the light you know the live gate and watch the shows in person that wouldn't change but the
amount of people sitting at home watching it would be a lot less than those that would be happy just to sit through a few adverts on ITV or watch it on BBC one where they would get millions and millions of people watching it in the in England millions would watch Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank fighting and I do wonder you know how I know Sky became much more popular over the years in those early days the early 2000s or the 90s really it was quite early days for Sky they were
never going to get those viewing figures because they were charging for the fights or it may be a pay-per-view or perhaps it was just part of the package but they never got like 10 million or 15 20 million people watching a fight on Sky that's never happened in the UK I bet it's never happened even in America it doesn't happen so largest largest boxing pay-per-view pay-per-view audience okay so 10 biggest earning boxing so Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquiao 4,600 4,600,000 buyers which is a lot until you look at how many people
there are how big the audience is that could have watched it more people than that and let me have a look I'll open a different page okay and I'll give you okay audience figures figures for Ben Eubank right here we go so viewing figures let's have a look oh it's gotta be viewing figures oh I'll go to Wikipedia I'm pretty sure it must have it in there first fights preceded so so 42,000 people crammed into this the Old Trafford and just afterwards damn it been fight before that's really annoying because
I remember seeing this seeing the the stats and it's like huge amount okay I'll try a different way of doing this UK TV's biggest boxing audience audience let's have a look list okay here we go no box here fair enough so the 1966 World Cup 32 million people watch that on average TV and then there's a few okay the rest is pretty much there's another football event Apollo 13 splashdown splashdown and yes a Royal Family events right at least here we go here we go at least two Muhammad Ali boxing
matches reported to have been watched by 26 million viewers of the United Kingdom 26 million now I realize that if it'd been pay-per-view there wouldn't have been 26 million people watching it I do get that you know however if you got 26 million people if you can hear that background sound then that's a huge amount of people watching to advertise to you know and we watched it I guess we watched it live here and it was early 26 million people watched it early hours of the morning they stayed up till
4 in the morning to watch it that's the time difference that's a lot isn't it and and that was for the fight of the century Ali versus Frazier and the rumbling and jumble 26 million the Frazier Ali 27.5 million and it was on BBC one so it wasn't in any adverts so I'm just trying to fit this any I really thought that the the boxing with well perhaps it didn't get 20 million but I'm sure I got about 10 million at least and yeah but it wasn't pay-per-view it was just
on the telly free-to-watch that's really loud music downstairs one of my names look one of my neighbors just had a food delivery I want to cut phone down and see if there's any for me got any food for me anything for me I'm hungry any food for me I could do with some or nice pizza yum-yum-yum-yum-yum yeah a bit cheeky though isn't it probably shouldn't do that probably shouldn't do that I'll just wait for them to come up and just offer me some probably not gonna happen though oh dear oh
dear oh everything's just come alive suddenly it's really loud music and maybe it's because the foods arrived and there's that excitement in the air of the beginning of a Saturday evening now for me it's even it's come to the end of a Saturday evening it's nearly eight o'clock I'm now thinking of mmm time for bed soon they're probably thinking or have something to eat and maybe get ready and go out but 10 o'clock or something like that come back at 3 in the morning and I'll be in bed at 3
in the morning thinking I'll get up in about an hour or two I don't generally sleep thinking about when I'm gonna get up but you know as an example ah so there's not really much on TV a lot a lot of what's going on really is like in this country that's talking about the election that's going on and it's not very exciting to be honest with you it's it's one of those things where you I think as you get older why as I get older anyway it's like watching Doctor Who
and you see Doctor Who is he's in a predicament let's say surrounded by Daleks when I was a kid will he survive now I know he's gonna survive because it's gonna be another episode next week and Doctor Who's gonna probably last longer than I'm alive it's gonna go on for decades more probably centuries so it's a little bit like that with the election it's it's a foregone conclusion that the Labour the Labour Labour are gonna get in and that's kind of everyone's everyone's pretty much accepted it I think even most
of the other political parties have accepted it I'm not sure if the Conservatives have yet and they shouldn't really have done because they're supposed to be fighting to stay in but it's weird that's just I don't know how it's gonna go to be honest I don't know why Labour always have to have people with strange voices that talk like this my name is Starmer my dad was a tool maker and I used to be a lawyer how did you be how could you be doing public speaking when you talk like
this it's strange and then we had a Miliband who and then where the other bloke I forget his name the one that was not so not so popular with a group of people and he just what was enough to get his name now he was a bit of a hero for a while and then he got blamed for everything honestly he got and it rained to get blamed it's a rhyme and Corbyn Jeremy Corbyn and he I saw him I just wondered like he'd be talking and just stop and just
like stare into space and just what are you doing you're on live television and when he was the leader of the opposition every week he'd come in on a Wednesday when they had the Prime Minister's question time and he would always start with saying Tracy Morgan from Chelmsford or wherever says asks the you know and everyone would shout out who's Tracy now he combated that by starting to bring up by mentioning people's names and then telling a horrible story about a person so I don't want to feel guilty like so
Humphrey bing bong bong who's Humphrey bing bong and he'd like who died last week like oh just it just spoiled the bravado spoiled the silly pantomime that is the House of Commons so there was not really much in the way of humor I know politicians aren't there really to entertain us but they kind of are as well I quite like seeing them be clever and I mean Michael Gove is this bloke is he actually falling asleep in there but he fell over once it's not because he drinks a lot I'm
sure but he he came on once and he it's almost like I decided to do to do a stand-up set and he looked like he'd had a little bit of help not just with the script with his confidence and he's like really big and I remember watching it live thinking what are you doing it's it was it wasn't really that moment to be doing that it's quite serious subject and he was like making jokes and but it was very strange very strange he's got the look he's got the smile of
a it's really bad to say this but he and I'm sure he's not I'm sure he's never ever had alcohol in his life just looks drunk looks drunk all the time just he's got that like dribbly dribbly smile kind of like this just I'm sure he's a lovely bloke but he's just it's probably just knackered it's a it's a hard hard slog I imagine be working in the government and that but it just looks zonked looks like he's been burning the the candle all three ends you know so well no
one's knocked on my dear to give my dear my door to give me any food or asked me if I want any food okay perhaps I should call any food go in well I'll have my half a sandwich from yesterday that's left over I'll have that for my dinner yeah I don't want any of your burger or chips or KFC or any any of your pizza don't worry about me it makes it worse because I can smell the food smells nice I like it cook something from the fridge the freezer
I've got some frozen stuff to cook but I just oh I've got stop eating sugar as well it's not fair it's not fair I love sugar I've had any chocolate for days seriously no chocolate how do people get by without chocolate you know I did actually in 2004 I stopped eating any chocolate or anything like that for about six months and then come to come Christmas I had my first bit of chocolate you know part of the Christmas season I had some chocolate off the Christmas tree oh I was on
the floor in ecstasy oh and it was it was a special kind of chocolate as well because one of those sparkly ones you know ones when you know that sparkly sherbet well not sherbet but it kind of kind of like sherbet and you put it in your mouth they just sparkle out that you have when you're a kid well these chocolate had these chocolates had that in built into the chocolate oh and it was amazing because I hadn't had any chocolate for forever it seemed that was my year of giving
up lots of stuff I didn't drink any alcohol the whole of 2004 yeah it's a long year and I wish I'd stuck to it to be honest I mean I don't drink at all now but come 2005 I was drinking again weird just but a whole year I did lose weight yeah I got down to probably the slimmest I've yeah the slimmest I've been to 2004 I was the slimmest I've been since 1999 I know it's only five years but blimey just seems this is 20 years ago 20 years 20
years 20 20 so I had to put Villy into the into the bedroom because he was being a little bit barky earlier I don't know if I managed to if I edited it out or not I hope I have so it's ten past eight I'm gonna go and have my sandwich and my crisps and a cup of tea a couple of biscuits or some biscuits so I'll have a couple of biscuits and then I will I don't know watch a bit of telly I suppose it's not a lot going on
to be honest and then I will just go to bed take him for a little walk and head for bed for about 10 o'clock yeah it's a bit boring really I just I've just been used to the boxing being on the Saturday and to have a Saturday without any boxing but one things on like in the UK I feel I feel I feel a little bit naked I feel like oh it's not a proper Saturday night I mean there's usually not boxing on every Saturday but recently there's been quite a
