Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please don't bang against the thing please Vin. Right, I've got the camera.
I'm filming this. Yay! I'm not sure how long the actual battery, the battery will last and Vinnie, it's on a tripod and Vinnie, he's really starting to get closer and closer to the legs of the tripod. So I don't know how or if he's going to avoid it.
So my name is Jason Newland. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.
Uh, what else? My website's jasonnewland.com. I, I'm just watching him go right underneath the tripod legs and it's, they're only little legs. So hopefully, plus he's got a habit of leaning against things. So when I'm at the desk or if I'm sitting down, he will lean against my legs.
And because I've got such skinny little legs, maybe he'll think the tripod legs are mine. I've grown three more legs, maybe. I don't know.
Okay. I'm not quite sure what the quality of the sound is or the video is on this, but I, according to this, I got one minute and 55, no, one hour and 55 minutes of battery left. It's a full battery.
But last time I used this camera, the ZV-1 Sony, last time I used it, it ran out partly through it. So you're right, Vin. We'll see.
We'll see. Either way, it's going to be audio. It's going to be recorded on the audio.
Oh yeah. The, um, I've got a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Itchy. Sorry, Jason.
There's my hands. Jason Newland's Boring Group on Facebook. So you can join if you want.
It's a private group, but it's really there for anyone that, you know, regularly listens to or watches my stuff. And I'd like to say thank you. Big thank you to Hillary.
Thank you for your PayPal gift. That's very kind of you. I'm not sure what else there is.
And that's it really. There was something I wanted to talk about. I actually thought about it, like I want to talk about, and normally I don't have a subject, particularly that I generally have in mind to discuss.
It's quite warm in here, all these lights. But there was something I wanted to talk about that I was going to talk about. Oh yes, this is it.
I went in a weird direction on YouTube last night or early this morning. And because I'm interested in psychology and I'm starting my degree in October, which is next month, I'm looking into different things, different theories and experiments and things like that. Famous studies and also studies that aren't famous, you know, ones that are maybe gone under the radar, but equally or maybe even more important than the famous ones.
So I'm interested in generally everything connected to psychology. And I decided to delve into the idea of the observer affecting the experimental outcome. Vinnie, you don't have to lick that now.
Well, clearly he does. Blimey. Anyway, I went on YouTube.
I wasn't really sure how to word it correctly without Googling because when I was sitting on my seat, I didn't have my phone near me, computers over there on the table. And I think I was eating my breakfast, so I couldn't really be bothered to sort of get up. Because I thought I'd just YouTube, just, you know, search on YouTube on the telly.
And eventually I kind of came up with what it is. I didn't realize it wasn't so much psychology, it was more quantum mechanics, which is not something that I've ever really delved into, to be honest. And when I started looking into it, it's mind boggling.
And a little bit too. I don't know if the word abstract is correct, but it's very, I don't know if I can really grasp, I mean, I haven't grasped it. To be honest, very, very confusing.
What little I've actually looked into. I think I've visited it many years ago, with the hope of maybe trying to learn something. But I mean, I remember I read Stephen Hawking's A History of Time, I read that when I was about, I was a very young man when I read that.
And I think I understood three words out of the whole book. No, four. The title, basically, A History of Time, that's like the four words.
It was, I didn't know what he was going on about. Did he? I don't know. It's, you know, it was just, it was beyond me, to be honest.
So, and I wasn't, see, I'm not a particularly practical person when it comes to fixing shelves, or, you know, changing a tire on a car. I've never done that. I don't know how to do it.
I've never, I mean, I struggled with changing a bicycle chain. When I was a kid, I mean, I could do it, kind of, but I didn't like it. I didn't feel any kind of fulfillment from doing it.
And I just ended up with greasy hands. So, yeah, I'm probably not that practical with my hands. However, when it comes to things like psychology, or hypnosis, or counselling, or those kinds of things, psychotherapy, I'm only really interested in, from a practical perspective, of what works, what is useful.
Now, I mean, I enjoy the theory. I do. It's, you know, it's fun.
If you look at Freud, most of his stuff was theory. It was just, he was a very, very creative person. And some of that stuff has stuck.
You know, some of the words that he came out with, and some of the ideas he came out with, has stuck. A lot of it has been completely debunked. So, for me, I never really, like, let's say for pain relief, for example.
Or, okay, let's look at it from the perspective of sleeping. So, the idea that if you was to try and force yourself to stay awake whilst listening to my voice and looking at my funny face, not like keeping your eyes open, not like forcing it without blinking, because I don't think that's particularly good for your eyes looking at a computer screen, or a TV, or a telephone.
I don't think staring without blinking is particularly healthy for your eyes to do.
It's definitely, I don't think it's healthy for my eyes. I've got an optician's appointment in two weeks. Two weeks? Yeah, two weeks.
So, I'm going with a neighbor, and we decided, oh, you didn't hit the tripod, good. We decided to go together, because then it's, we can go and have lunch or something. So, it's kind of a, not a day out, but it's, you know, keep each other company while we go there.
She's got her appointment first, and then I've got my appointment. So, that will be, I've probably discussed this before. I'm going to try and get three pairs of glasses, one for like when I'm out and about, for distance, and, you know, for general day-to-day, because I need glasses pretty much all the time.
I want to get separate ones for reading, because at the moment I've got them at the bottom of these glasses. And it's not, I don't like, I literally have to move the book right down there. It's either that, or I have to look up at the ceiling, and then look down and read.
Like, it doesn't fit, doesn't work for me. I liked it to start with, because when I first got these glasses, I looked further away from the ground. So, I felt taller.
But that was just, that didn't last for long. My brain got used to being small again. So, I'm four foot two, you can't tell, but that's, I don't think that's too short, really.
Not really. So, I'm looking maybe to get some, because I'm starting the university course, it's on Open University, it's all online. So, I'm going to be staring at a computer screen.
Although I do that quite a bit anyway, with the website building, continuously doing stuff, you know, it's a lot staring at screens. I do get eye strain, I get headaches and stuff sometimes. And so, I'd like to reduce that.
You know, if possible. I'd like to just not have that happen anymore. The eye strain.
So, and I've also got a Kindle. I mean, I've got quite a few books. But I don't know, I just want to be able to, I want my eyes to not be put under unnecessary stress.
So as to cause them to deteriorate, you know, quicker than they need to, if that makes sense. So, my plan is to get glasses like these, you know, something like this, you know, act alike, because I've got macro degeneration is, I think it's called that in the family, it's hereditary. And they said I might have in the beginnings of it is why my eyesight's not so good.
And it's kind of at the back your eyes is problem. So I don't know really, but I've got act alike. I've had it for 10 years now, I think I had where the you know, the it's like sunshades when I go outside.
So I need to get that again, because they said need to really protect my eyes from the sun, not just during the summer, but, you know, sunlight, trying to protect my eyes from that. So I'll speak to them and see what else I can do. Maybe.
Also, also, I saw somewhere years ago, and I'm talking 20 years ago. And then I kind of revisited a few times over the years, there's certain tinted glasses, like, just normal glasses, whatever prescription you have on the lenses, but tinted, whether it's green or blue or yellow or red or whatever colour, it can have an effect for autism, that can be beneficial to some people with autism, what on the autistic spectrum, I think we're supposed to say now.
I mean, at the time, I was studying Asperger's.
So I was reading loads of books on that. And the because I was quite for I was trying to figure out what was going on with me. So anyway, so I but also, I've seen there's, if I had my phone, I could have looked at this up, couldn't I? There's potentially bipolar could help.
Possibly. I don't know. So that that interests me.
Yeah, it does. It interests me. So I look into that anyway.
But I don't know. I think I think musicians can get away with walking around with tinted glasses, you know, like blue or green and stuff, and kind of expect it. I remember.
Do you remember Bono? Not do you remember him? Obviously, he's still around. But Bono was people like, for years were criticising him publicly like the press were anyway. Oh, he's just posing.
He's got tinted glasses. He doesn't need to have all that stuff. When actually he's got a visual impairment, which is quite serious, from what I understand, but he didn't tell anyone.
And then I think got so fed up with being mocked. They told him that actually, it's, it's a prescription his glasses, as mine are as most people's glasses are prescription. I don't win them for fun.
Although they are a lot of fun. Sometimes I wake up in the morning really early, just so I can put them on again. I just miss them so much.
So yeah, so I'm doing that. What was I originally talking about? It wasn't glasses, was it? Oh, right. Yeah.
And quantum mechanics. So I started delving a little bit of like exploring on YouTube. And I came because I was interested in the observer that that particular thing, the idea that someone could observe an experiment, and depending upon the observer, the experiment would change or it would it would be affected by the observer.
And that fascinates me. And we're talking even on a molecular, a molecular level, like on an atomic level. I don't know if that's true.
So I'm not sure if the Bono thing is true either. But I do remember reading that somewhere. So if I got it wrong, I do apologize.
But because I know that obviously Bono is a big, you know, it's a big star in that. But that's, I just remember people mocking him for his eyes, for his glasses rather. The same with, did you know that Roy Orbison, he wore dark glasses, because I think he had an eye operation, or he had some kind of operation.
And he wore the glasses because he was going on stage singing. And he wanted to cover up his eyes. But there was nothing wrong with his eyes.
He just carried on wearing the big glasses because that became his image. And that's what I read somewhere. And another thing I read somewhere is the, do you know? Did you know? I've got all these things now.
Okay. What's his name? The rapper who has a plaster, like a, you know, kind of plaster you put onto a cut. On his, on his face.
I forget his name. He did a song with one of the ladies from Destiny's Child, I think. Really good song.
And that was a good song, I think. Anyway, the reason for that plaster is, I think he had a TV appearance. And he had a, he had a pimple, or a boil or something.
So he covered it up with the plaster. And then that became his trademark. So I think the warning is really, be careful what you do on your first TV appearance.
Because you have to end up doing it the whole forever. Hmm. So, oh, yes.
Do you know Sting? You know Sting? Every tear you take. That one. Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me.
Sting from Police. He was in Police. Sting.
Hi, Finn. Hi, mate. Hi, darling.
Hello. Hello. He's looking for stuff in his pocket.
What are you doing? Hey. Hey, hello. Try not to jump onto the camera, please.
Thanks. Yes, Sting. Puff, puff, puff.
Pufferfish, not pufferfish. Daddy, Diddy. He used to be called Puff Daddy.
And now, then he changed to Puff Diddy. And now he's just Diddy. And soon, apparently, he's just going to have a number.
I don't know. That's what I've been told. That's what I've read on the internet.
I I don't know if that's true or not. It's not up to me. I'm, you know, never really been a Puff Daddy listener.
I liked some of the 50 Cent stuff. That was really fun. Did I ever tell you that I was in a pub? 2005? Or was it 2007? Might be 2007.
And it was around that time anyway, 2005 to 2007. And there was a karaoke night in the pub. In my section of the pub.
I used to, I used to sit kind of in the part where no one else sat. Not initially. And it was very busy then.
But before I started sitting there, then everyone moved to the other side. Vinnie, what are you doing, man? Be careful of the tripod. This is putting me on edge now because every time he moves, I think he's going to jump and hit the tripod.
So I mean, I could have just moved the table over, which would have taken literally three seconds. It's just, I'm quite happy with how all the thing is at the moment, where things are. And I don't want to really move stuff around.
But we'll see, maybe I'm gonna have to do that. Oh, oh, yeah, I was in this pub. So a lot of people moved into the most the area that I was in and did the karaoke.
And there was, so there was adults, there was a few kids in there with their parents. And this little girl, I think it was a girl or a little boy, but they were very young. Like, I don't know, five or six.
And there was, she, she was singing a 50 Cent song. And the lyrics were very, what do I say, very inappropriate. And there's no swearing.
But it was innuendo. So she was talking about, I think some of the lyrics like sucking on my lollipop. Let's go down to the sweet shop.
It's kind of, and I don't know, it was kind of, she was singing this totally innocently, not knowing, you know what she was singing. And it was one of the funniest things I've seen. Our parents were, everyone was just rolling around literally.
Why do people put that? Was it rolling around? R.A. on the floor, laughing. Now, the last time I rolled around on the floor laughing was 1976. During Planet of the Apes.
And one of the care workers was tickling me. So Planet of the Apes was on telly. And I've been tickled and I was rolling around on the floor laughing.
I might have weed myself, but I don't remember. It wasn't my fault anyway. Even if I did, it was her, it was her fault.
And that's one of my happy memories of childhood. And I don't think I've ever rolled around the floor since then. I mean, I like to laugh as much as the next person.
But I don't know if I've ever rolled around the floor. I've rolled around the floor when I've fallen over and not been able to get up. I've rolled around the floor drunk a couple of times in the past.
Oh, you know what? Last night I woke up. I woke up at probably about one or two o'clock in the morning. I kicked the wall again.
Now, for those that watch regularly, or listen regularly rather, will might remember that I did exactly the same thing back in probably January, February time. I broke my toe. I really smashed my foot to bits.
And I was hobbling around for about two months. I did exactly the same thing. But this time, it kind of, I didn't do it very well.
Not very well. But it was, I must have called it on the side rather than flat on. So my big toe hit the wall.
And it hurt, but it doesn't hurt now. Oh, yes, it does actually, I'll just bend it. So it's still, it is tender.
But not like it was, not like, you know, earlier in the year. I can't believe I did it again. I didn't think I'd ever do it again.
I thought it was going to one of those one off. Well, I have done it before, but I punched the wall before when I've been asleep. And I don't, if I'm asleep, I can't, I'm not taking the blame for anything I do when I'm asleep.
I'm asleep. Oh, he's asleep now. He's you can't see him.
The only way I can really get Vinnie on the screen is if I pulled back the camera, but then you'd have my whole body and the whole of the settee and I don't know. I don't know how. Unless I lowered it.
I suppose I could lower the camera a little bit. So it was, I guess my head would be a bit closer to the top of the screen. I'm not sure.
I've lost weight, by the way, just in case you hadn't noticed. I'm telling everyone until someone agrees with me. Still waiting.
So I sting. His song was used by Puff Diddy, Daddy, Dottie, whatever his name is, in whatever year it was. I don't remember.
It was where it was like a tribute song to, was it Fats Domino? Biggie Slims? Biggie Slim? Biggie or something. So I didn't know either of those people. I knew about what's his name? Chirac? Shakur? Chirac Shakur? What's his name? Really famous, because he was in a movie called Gridlock.
Really good movie. If you've never seen it, check it out. It's a good film.
It's got a scene in it that I've never seen in my life. Something that I've never, two things actually I've never seen before, which is just a bit out there. But yeah, it's basically a couple of criminals and they're trying to get out of the city and they can't because of Gridlock, basically.
Shakur. Is it Shakur? Shakur? Shakur. See, I say Shakur now and I think of Shakur Stevenson.
Or Shakur Stevens? Stevenson? Stevens, who's a boxer. Anyway, whatever his name is. He, Tupac Shakur.
Shakur Tupac. Yeah, Tupac. So he, I'd heard of him.
Didn't really know his music, to be fair, but I'd seen him in the movie and he's a really good actor. So, you know, he's one of those, I think, I'm trying to think of a rapper that's gone on to be a big Hollywood star. I mean, you could say Will Smith, but kind of different kind of rapper to Tupac, I would argue.
I think most people would probably agree, different kind of music, different kind of rapper. I think he had the potential to go and win an Oscar or more. He's a very talented actor, very talented performer.
So I never really got to, I've seen his music videos and seen his music since, but I didn't really know who he was as a musician. But I didn't realise, I suppose Will Smith, it was only Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, that's when I first met him. And on the telly, and I didn't, he had some songs.
I was always, he had the theme tune for that, from that TV show, but he had a, summertime, it's a summertime, summertime, it's a summertime, that one. Is it boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, something like that. He did another one in the 90s.
So I used to love Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I thought he was so funny in that. But ironically, it's possibly his cousin that was the funniest one in the show, because he did the dancing to Tom Jones.
Do you remember that? It was so funny. But then he started going all serious in the show. Yeah, it got a bit, yeah, it was quite serious moments, which not a bad thing.
It's just, sometimes, sometimes with, because it was kind of aimed at, I would probably say young adults, you know, sort of teenagers, it was kind of aimed at that show. And, well, the camera just gone weird. I think it might be about to run out.
Oh no. Oh no. If it does, I might just post it anyway.
You know, I mean, I don't know if you can see my face, can you? Because the cameras, the microphones are right now. Anyway, Sting, he, he sued Puff Dad, Puff, Piff, Diddy, Doddy, Diddy, Diddy. I think it's just Diddy now.
So he, he, but he was Puff, Puff, Puff Daddy at the time. And he sued him. And this is, this is out of Sting's mouth.
So it's not my own opinion. This is what Sting said. He said, never going to another one of his parties.
No, he didn't say that. He said, he sued and he got, he got a settlement because Sting's song was used in the tribute to Biggie Smalls. And that's Every Breath You Take.
And it was that video on the motorbike and stuff. That was the first time I'd ever even heard of Puff Daddy. And that was before he started dating, what's her name? Jennifer.
From the block. So, God, I'm very good with my old references today. Blimey.
Well, he, he sued him. And they came to, in the court, came to an agreement. Puff Daddy, as he was then, has to pay Sting $2,000 every day for the rest of his life.
$2,000 every single day for using his song. I mean, I'm guessing he's probably made more money. Well, he's definitely made more money from that song than he did when he originally released it.
$2,000. So that's three, six, $720, whatever, thousand dollars a year for the last, at least the last 20 years. So $7,100.
So $14, $15 million. Let's say $20 million if it's like the late 90s. Let's say $20 million.
And in fact, it's possibly longer than that. So yeah, maybe he's made over $20 million. Just, I don't know why I mentioned it.
It's just something that I, trivia that I kind of found out about. Also, did you know, something that you might not know, but I want to do a trivia day. I might try and do like a trivia Tuesday.
And coming in the future, sort of, so do the Friday Q&A Friday. And that seems to have, I kind of feel it's established now after 23 or 24 weeks of doing it. So I'm thinking maybe trivia Tuesday.
I don't know, let me know what you think. And then I can, you can set you Yeah, you can send me in bits of trivia as well. So I can read out your bits of trivia.
So you can participate. I don't know, let us know what you think. So I was, and I've got trivia books and this stuff online, it wouldn't be difficult.
So I could, I could find trivia stuff, but just do like a regular thing. I might do that actually, trivia Tuesday. I could start tomorrow.
Shall I, shall I start tomorrow, do trivia Tuesday tomorrow. Because tomorrow is Tuesday. Today's Monday.
And the following day is Wednesday. And yesterday was Sunday. But here's another one.
The movie, everything, everywhere, all at once, which won an Oscar, more than one Oscar, I think. The actor in that was the kid out of Indiana Jones movies. Yeah, the little kid kept shouting, Indy, Indy behind you.
Indy, and he was about 10 or something in those movies. Now he's probably in his 50s. And he looks the same, same face.
So people don't understand. I don't think everyone gets me when I say they still got the same face. Because I don't.
If you look at my YouTube channel picture, not on my YouTube. Yeah, my YouTube channel picture. There's a picture of me when I was about 10.
I do not look the same. But if you look a picture of my brother, my little brother, when he was 10, look at him now. Same face.
It's not just that he looks really young. He is young, eight years younger than me. But he's got the same face.
It's hard. Some people just look kind of all their life. They look the same.
I don't mean they don't age. We don't go gray or whatever. But just I don't have the same face.
I've got different face. I don't know how to explain it other than in the weird way that I just did. So what else? Yes.
Tuesday. Should I call it trivia Tuesday? Q&A Friday trivia Tuesday. Yeah, trivia Tuesday starts tomorrow.
I've never been so excited in all my life. So yeah, trivia Tuesday. I'm trying to think what else happened today.
I took Vinnie's mum who's the lady that had him before me. She's been away and she came back and given Vinnie a lot of fuss, brought some presents back and he spent a few hours with her in her place in the garden and stuff. So I got a bit of work done here and I had a little bit of a nap.
And, you know, I love having him in. I love cuddling him and he's lying down and I'm just resting my arm on him. And that's nice.
It was kind of nice to have a break. Just see, batteries run out, batteries gone. So I might actually just update that, upload it to YouTube anyway.
Because I've been interested in how long it lasted, though. So, so the battery lasted for about 45 minutes, which, well, let's face it, it's not long enough for what I do. It's fine for maybe a hypnosis recording that lasts for half an hour.
Maybe the problem is I had it on 4K and I should have done a lesser resolution, which meant it might not have eaten the battery up so much. Another way of doing it would be to get it plugged into the mains all the time. So I'm going to look into that, figure out how to do that.
Because it just seems a bit of a shame. I've got this camera, it's a decent camera, I've had it a couple of years. It's an SV1 Sony, SV1 or whatever.
It's one of those point and film camera things, video cameras. I can take photographs as well. And just, you know, I've got the video software that I've still got on trial.
So it'd be good to, and this, because it records onto a disc, I can then put the disc into the, upload that onto my computer. So instead of using the software on the iPad, which is very limited, I can use a proper video editing software and maybe improve the picture or just make it a little bit better than my normal videos are. A little bit more, I don't know, play around a little bit with it, but just just make it a little bit more professional-ish.
Although I do find it funny, this is something I used to do. But sometimes I've gone onto YouTube and I've seen someone and the introduction is proper professional, like graphics and 4k, was it 4k, 10k, whatever, really like a movie almost at the beginning as it introduces the video channel. And then it goes to the person and they're they're using a webcam or, which is what I used to do.
But nowadays, don't really need to use webcams so much. I mean, for streaming, maybe, but for recording YouTube videos, I mean, just just a phone is generally doable nowadays, depending on the lighting and that. But it is quite dark in this room.
From a camera perspective, there's not a lot, not a lot of light. Not one light up there and I've got two lights either side that I put on. And I do have another light in the storage room that I could put over there.
I could use that light. So kind of come from a different angle. But in fact, now I've got I've got another one.
So I got 123. Yes, I can have four or five lights if I wanted. But I don't know if I can be bothered with that much lighting because it's just been so hot.
Well, I thought if I really got into the videos, I could transfer, transform this room. Hey, calm yourself down. Calm down.
Calm down. No, calm down. Calm down.
Calm down. Good girl. Calm down.
Oh, no. Calm down. He's a little cheater.
You little cheats going like that for calm yourself down. Now you're listening, you're listening for something to react to. There's nothing worth reacting to.
There's nothing I'm gonna try and block his ears up now just holding my hands over. Come on, don't listen to anything. That's the thing though, because when I make these recordings, there's no sound in this room, or in this flat, you know, there's no music, no TV, no radio, which means he's listening.
I mean, you know, quite often he does fall asleep listening to me. I'm sure it isn't from boredom or anything. But he does listen out for other stuff.
What can I do with my top now because there's no one looking. Oh, that's better. Yeah, so Trivia Tuesday.
Blimey. Yeah, so that's the next one then. So tomorrow, maybe have a look into it.
The thing is, I've been working pretty solid on the website. I know it doesn't get a huge amount of visits. And it might, you know, might be worth having a look now because it's starting to pick up starting to have what it needs to have starting to and it's never going to be complete.
But I've really made a lot of changes to it and improved it in a way that may not seem obvious at the moment. But for example, if you used to go to Okay, Jason's bedtime storytime, or sleepy boring objects. So you go on to the main page, go down, and there's a list of podcasts.
If you was to click on one of those two I just mentioned, it'll bring you up a list. And let's say 30 on one and 35 of the other podcast, and you click on whatever one you want. It will then take you to a page where there's a video from YouTube that you can watch of that episode.
There's a podcast player of the episode that you can listen to if you want on that page. Or, or, or, or, or, and you can also download the file of all four recordings, the one with music, without music, five and 10 hour ones, you can download those all in one go. So it's, you know, it's quite quite good.
So even if you don't want to download anything, you can still stream the recording from the website, or watch the YouTube video from the website. So you don't have to go to the podcast, just listen to it on the website. So it's just something that's that might be useful for those that are the want to listen, or you know, they want to use that as service.
I haven't got every, not all my podcasts are up yet on the website. I'm still working on them. And just started doing the stress and pain relief podcast.
So I need to work on that tomorrow and get that up to date. And I've not yet completed the Let Me Bore You To Sleep podcasts there yet. I'm getting there.
I've got about another 80 I think to upload to make that all up to date. And then there's a lot of work to do regarding putting the videos and the audio players and stuff on there. So it's going to take months to do but it's getting there, you know, starting to starting to kind of take shape.
And I have a I have an idea, or have an idea of how I'd kind of like it to be in the future. So it's, yeah, it's, there's, there's going to be a few different ways of using the website. So yeah, I'm quite pleased with it.
And trying to think what else to do. Oh, yeah, I've been uploading the podcast episodes on Spreaker without music, you know, five hours, 10 hours without music. So I've been creating and uploading those podcast episodes.
So I finished the Jason's Bedtime Story time. And I've just been like working my way through them. There's, it's a lot of, it's very time consuming doing that.
But it will be done. Eventually, it will be done. And we're now blindly we're coming towards the second week of September, I nearly said October with him.
Which is weird. I mean, is that this boxing alert, boxing alert. This coming week, at the weekend, Canelo is fighting Belanga defending his world titles to Belanga.
So that's in America, I think it might be in Mexico, I think it's in America. And then the following week, which is a 21st. That's the thing is Wembley, and it's Anthony Joshua against Dubois.
Plus a lot of other like really big fights as well. So it's going to be a couple of really good nights, good weeks of boxing. Well, a couple of good weekends of boxing rather.
So yeah, so that's something to look forward to. So I look forward to this weekend, but especially the following weekend. Oh, by the way, if you're going to bet any money bet on Canelo losing.
That's terrible, isn't it? Belanga is going to win. Wow, how do I know? I don't. I just thought of it then.
So if you bet on Belanga to win, and trust me, Canelo's the favourite. He's always a favourite. I don't think Belanga will be given much hope of winning by the by the betting odds.
So if you do bet, don't bet. Obviously, if you've got a gambling issue, then forget what I said, because I'm not going to promote gambling or any other vices to anyone. However, if you win any money, I want 92%.
Thank you. Also, I was thinking, do the lottery. I got this feeling that everyone should do the lottery.
I'm not sponsored by the lottery company, by the way. I mean, that'd be nice, wouldn't it? No, I don't have any sponsorship at all. I sponsor myself.
Me sell. I sponsor me sell. I was going to say sell instead of self.
Me sell. No, don't you mean yourself? No, I can't say self. I say sell.
Me sell. So, so ducks, duckies, I'm gonna bring this to a closure very soon. It's a shame that the camera didn't last.
I was hoping it would. I guess I need to just play around with it until it works. Not the first, first time I've done that.
And I just want to, yeah, I shouldn't really, I kind of feel, oh, I just like, it's not working properly. I just want it to work. I don't have to look into how it works.
Don't have to, you know, just, I don't want to put any effort in. I just want it to just work. But then I think, they're not complicated.
If they're complicated, we, they wouldn't sell millions. You know, these cameras are not that complicated to work. You just need to get to know how to, how to use them and that's it.
And I kind of figured that out. I think someone said that years ago, like that driving. If driving was complicated, you know, if you just, there wouldn't be billions of people driving.
You know, it's, it's, it's something that anyone can learn to do pretty much. However, I'm not sure about my spatial awareness, because when I had driving lessons, I was either too close, I was too close to the pavement. I said, or the curb, you know, too close to the curb, driving too close to the curb.
And I said, why do you keep moaning about that? He said, you're on the wrong side of the road. But it's kind of, I didn't, I couldn't really, I never really got my head around the idea that, because we have small roads in this country, not all roads are small, but we have motorways, but not motorways like they have in, let's say, Germany. And I have like 100 different lanes and stuff.
The, we have, but we have roads, some roads are big, but generally, a lot of roads are not big at all. They were just big enough for horse and carts to get through in the old days. And that was it.
And so two cars can pass each other, generally. But all it is, is some white lines on the, on the road in the middle to separate. That's the only thing there is.
And in London, where I used to live, the reason why I didn't, I couldn't see the point in driving is because the amount of people that were parked outside their houses, and you'd be lucky if you can get down the road, because you had to stop every three or four seconds to let a car get through, and they stopped to let you get through, because you couldn't just drive straight down, had to keep driving around cars.
And I don't think even, I don't think I'd ever have the patience for that. You know, I've actually, I remember when I was in Stratford, I remember a lot, don't I? When I was in Stratford, there was the traffic, and I started thinking, is it worth getting a driver's license, learning to drive and whatever? I kind of wish I had now, but I don't know.
And I'm walking towards the train station, Stratford train station from where I So I get onto, I don't know, was it Leytonstone Road, walking towards Maryland station, and then just you follow that round, and that leads to Stratford station. It's not, not a long walk, really. What, 15 minutes, probably? I can't remember.
And I'm walking, and there's this bus, 65. I'm not sure if it was, but that's my memory of it, being a 65. I wonder if it was 65.
Wow. And it kept going past me, you know, stopping at bus stops, and then I was walking, and I kept passing the bus. And I think I actually got to Stratford before the bus did.
And all I was doing was walking. And as anyone will tell you, anyone that knows me, they will tell you that I'm not the fastest walker in the world. In fact, me and my neighbour were talking about going to the chemist or the pharmacy to get our medication.
And I said, she said, I said, I might walk up there with you. And she said, no, I haven't got that much time to spare. I said, what? She said, I don't want to spend the whole day going up there.
I thought she was talking about Vinnie, taking Vinnie with us. I said, well, no, Vinnie's not that slow. She said, I'm not talking about Vinnie.
I said, like, you're too slow. You know, don't hold back. Just say what you think.
Ah, Vinegar, Vinegar. Sleep. He's actually asleep.
Oh, no, you're not now, are you? Sorry. You know, sometimes he lays there with his eyes open. And I think he's awake.
So I kind of like to stroke him and that. And it makes him jump because he's actually asleep. Sleep with his eyes open.
That is freaky. You are so pretty. Yes, you are.
So I'm going to go. I didn't talk about the old quantum mechanics or quantum physics. And I will just briefly mention that.
This experiment is very famous rice experiment where they did. It cooked some rice. And people have done it all over the world, tested it out, and it seems to work the same or similarly everywhere.
So cook some rice, which, of course, has water in the rice. So they take and they basically empty the rice into three containers, which are then sealed shut, you know, airtight shut glass containers, even amount in each one. So you got the you got the rice, but you also got the water and stuff in there as well, I guess.
And then you put a label on each one of them. One is love, one is negativity, for example, and another label would be ignore. So for a period of time, sometimes they did it for seven days, some someone did it for 30 days, I think someone did it for 90 days.
And they would just talk to the jar separate from the others. So take the jar. So the one they ignored, they wouldn't touch just left it in in the cupboard, in the cupboard, kitchen cupboard or whatever, just didn't touch it.
The one that was had love on, they'd take it onto the table, hold the jar and talk to it, but say lovely things like I love you. You're the bestest ever. You've got such cute toes, I don't know whatever people say, nice things.
And with the other jar, without saying the words, it was the opposite. It was a lot of negative stuff. Quite harsh stuff as well.
And they did this for about, I don't know, 30 seconds, maybe a few times a day, maybe once a day for a certain amount of time. And after a week or a month or two months, whatever, they'd get the jars and put them all together. And in every instance that I saw, at least the jar that wasn't touched, that was ignored, had like normal kind of decay or decay, like normal wear and tear of what would normally happen.
So it didn't really, wasn't really affected so much. The one that had been, that was loved, that had love on the lid, that they'd been nice to, the person had been talking nicely to them, to that jar, however weird it might sound to do something like that, when I say it out loud, the contents were in really good condition. The one with the negative jar, let's say, decayed, like really, you know, sort of moldy and all kinds of, yeah, it wasn't good, completely different to the first one.
And they copied this experiment with plants. I saw a different experiment with plants, two plants, one where they were saying lovely things to the plant for, you know, a few minutes a day, maybe a couple of times a day, and then another plant where they were verbally being negative and hostile, and the plant that was, had positivity and love, blossomed, and the other one decayed. And the third experiment, which was very strange, now I've told you about it, I can forget all about it now, can't I?
Do you like that? Got rid of that information.
Trivia Tuesday, Trivia Tuesday, but on a Monday, on a Monday, Trivia Tuesday on a Monday. Yeah, there's a jingle there somewhere. So I, yeah, this, there was this plant, or like a tree, like a small tree on a table in a plant pot, next to another small tree, same kind of tree in another plant pot, a weird sound, a weird, a strange sound, like coming from somewhere.
Oh, well. And what the scientists did, they attached this, like a lie detector thing, that probes into one of the trees, the small trees, in order so that the, it could let off energy, and you could see it on the machine spiking. So I don't quite show how it works, but you could see energy change in the tree.
And what, what happened is this man came along, and he completely cut to bits, the other tree, chopped it down. And there are only little trees on a table, but he completely, you know, wasn't particularly kind to the tree, let's say. And I don't know if he shouted when he was doing it, but then he left, left the room.
Now, I'm not sure if they put the probes onto the second tree first or, or after that happened. But then they had six men come in. So they set the tree up, attach it to these probes, which was kind of like a lie detector machine.
And they brought in these five or six different men. And the first five men just walked past the tree, nothing on the machine, there's no, no movement. The man, the sixth man was the man that had basically ripped to pieces the other tree earlier on.
And the machine spiked, went absolutely all over the place. I just find that fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
In a way that I find it's difficult to really explain. So I wrote a poem. No, I didn't.
Oh, can you imagine? I used to write poems. I might try and get back into it. Wednesday poems.
What do you think? Poetry Wednesday. So it'd be good if there was a week number, a week name rather. A weekday.
That's the right one. A weekday starting with P. So is it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Now there isn't is there? What about a month? Do a monthly one.
January, February. Did you know? What's the one name that you can get out of the of the calendar? The one human name that you can get out of the calendar. So you know, if you get the first initial of each month, January, February, March, so J, F, January, J for January, F for February, M for March, A for April, M for May.
So you know that. What's the one name you can get out of that, out of the 12 months? Like actually not muddled up, but just all in one thing. Do you want me to tell you? Jason.
July, August, September, October, November. Jason. Hey.
So not only does my name means healer in mythology of Greek, or healing hands. But the months of the year were named after me. At least five of them were.
The only name, you can't get any other name. Well, there might be names that are out there that I've not heard of before. But I don't know any names to start with.
J, January, February, J, F. There's probably no name. So what's next? F, F, M. I don't know any names that begin with F and then it got M as the next letter. So then M, A, March, April, May, M, A, M. M, M. That could be a name don't know.
M, J. So I guess MAM. That's not a name. Is it MAM? Is it? Could be I suppose.
March, April, May. So April, May, June. M, J. No.
