Hello and welcome to Q&A Friday. It's Q&A, Q&A Friday. Alright Vin, you can sit over here if you want and give me cuddles.

He's sitting the other side of the set, he's just staring at me, it's weird. Now he's cuddling, now he's staying down next to me for cuddle. And, yeah I took him for a walk earlier and he got muddy and he had the, I don't even know what to call it, the zoomies I think they call it, running between the living room and the bedroom and jumping on the bed and jumping on the settee and just like all over the place and he kept barking, whoops, like woof, every now and then, you cutie aren't you?

And he was really just, I didn't know if he was, he got some mud in his feet that was uncomfortable for him because he was also like doing the digging thing as well, so I gave him a bath and I couldn't catch him, couldn't catch him so I had to put a lead on, so he thought he was going somewhere, even though we'd only just got back.

Had a nice hour, we had a nice hour out didn't we, yeah. This was this morning or this afternoon and after he had a bath he was alright, I cleaned his feet, it wasn't a bath it was a shower but it was in the bath and I kind of had to do it really. It's alright, don't worry, blindly.

So only listen when you can safely close your eyes. This is Let Me Bore You To Sleep, my name's Jason Newland. So before I do the questions, there's not many questions to answer today, I'm not quite sure why I didn't, I'm not sure why but there's only I think three questions if I'm correct.

So I did a recording yesterday called Caring For Others, uploaded it today, it was for Cara, Cara sent me a message and I just did that recording for her in mind but also for anyone else that's caring for other people, whether it's emotionally or even, you know just, it's a very broad recording. I did focus more on kind of mental health issues rather than anything else including like addiction and stuff but I was just talking from my own personal experience.

So like helping, trying to help someone else, it might be an absolute pile of poo to be fair, it might be useful, I don't know, it's kind of, I never really know to be honest with you when I do a recording if it's of any use but my intentions were in the right place I guess.

So it's been a much better day today for me, I had three days in a row that were quite difficult just from my mood perspective, I don't want to talk too much about it but Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I had a bit of a headache especially on Wednesday and Thursday, I've got people continuously asking me to lend them money, I've literally had three different people ask to borrow money off me this week alone, yesterday I was asked four times by two different people, between two different people so two times each to lend them money,

it's just like, yeah, it gets to me a little bit because I made a rule when my friend passed away last year, my rule was never ever going to lend anyone money again because I've done that, people don't pay it back, well not always but, and I kind of made that rule, I don't have to do that anymore and then straight away I had I think three people borrow money off me within about a week, it's just like ridiculous and yeah it was, and didn't pay it back of course,

so it was putting me in a bit of a bad mood but then I was just, and I'm struggling a little bit with the university course, don't worry this is not going to be a big negative recording, I'm just letting you know what's going on, not quite sure what to do with the old university course, I'm kind of conflicted between struggling to get motivated to do it but at the same time I'm still really interested in psychology, it's one of the subjects I'm most interested in like in the world,

so even if I didn't continue with the degree, like with the course, I'd still want to listen to audio books about psychology, so why don't I just do the degree because that's what I want to do, I want to learn more about psychology, it makes sense, I've got an opportunity to do that on a much deeper level, it's weird, it's weird, I don't know, I think it might be the deadlines, all the kind of having to complete something by a certain time and I don't necessarily work too well at deadlines,

or with deadlines, or haven't done up till now, but it's, so I've got this thing that I want to do, there's four things I'd quite like to do in my life, like over the next six years, if I could kind of make a list of things I'd like to do or accomplish in the next six years, getting my second degree, so the degree in psychology in six years will be completed, Vinnie's looking at me like he likes me today, why are you looking at me like you like me,

and then I would quite like to, I want to continue to do this, you know what I'm doing now, making recordings, helping people, and hopefully build it up so it's more popular, you know, in six years time, I'm hoping that I'm getting, I'd like to get at least 100,000 listens or downloads per day, that would be kind of a target, I've nearly reached that once in the past, but it wasn't, you know, it's not a regular thing, so I'd like to get towards the 100,000, ideally a million a day,

but hey, 100,000, that's still a good start, and anything connected with what I'm doing here, within six years I'd like my YouTube channel to grow, it is growing now, not subscribers wise, but viewers wise, and because I'm only doing, apart from the shorts, I'm only doing 10 hour videos, and it's not for everyone, but I think some people are starting to see the benefit of being able to watch the video or listen to it, it's only 10 seconds of a screen, and the rest is just a black screen,

so they can watch it on TV, or watch it on the phone, or listen to it on the phone rather, and not have the light of the phone shining out, so for the duration of sleep, so like all the aspects of what I'm doing here, I'd like that to grow, I'd also like to get into, which I've talked about before, I'd like to maybe get into some martial arts, I'm thinking perhaps Jiu Jitsu, I've kind of gone through all the different clubs locally, or within, you know, this kind of area,

and I found a Jiu Jitsu club that I think once I've done the month training, do a beginner's course, I can then start going during the day, which would suit me better than evenings, because the bus is a lot better during the day, so that's something that I'm perhaps looking to do next year, so come like January time, bear in mind we've only got two months of the year left, and so that'll be something, and then if I'm able to do that comfortably, and I like it, and I can physically do it,

then that'd be brilliant to be able to try and get a black belt within six years, and that's it really, just those three things, part of that, part of the Jiu Jitsu is the training, you know, to get myself a bit healthier, which I've kind of already tried to start on that journey, to get myself a bit fitter, yeah, just thinking about that, but I think sometimes I overwhelm myself, I sort of, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I end up,

you know, with a bit too much, but on the same side, it's like, well, I remember years ago when I was doing the massage course, I was working part time, I was full time massage course at college, so it's every day, Monday to Friday, pretty much, you know, nine to four, or whatever, and working evenings, every evening, and a Saturday morning, or Saturday during the day, I'm not sure, maybe Saturday morning, and I was also seeing clients in and between that as well, practicing the massage, and I worked out,

I did like a timetable, I thought, well, let's just see how much time I'm spending, and it worked out that I had about six hours a week to myself, it's like, what, you know, I mean, apart from sleeping, I just had no time, I'd booked up practically every inch of time, which was just crazy, but, yeah, so I need to be careful of that, not doing that, I mean, it's unlikely I'll be doing that, but, what am I doing?

Oh, wait a second, sorry, stopwatch clip, right, I forgot to set my stopwatch up to record, so, to record, just to, I need to keep track of how long I'm talking for, why is he shaking?

The window's closed, it's not cold in here, it's not cold, okay, so yesterday was a really weird day, I didn't feel particularly well, and I, I went to the park, so that Vinnie could play with one of his friends, that's the only reason, just, you know, so he could have a run around, and the good thing about when he's with, he's got two friends that he runs around with, and he stays with them, generally, he's pretty good, and I'll cut through it and make it a short story,

but it ended up this little puppy, this woman with a puppy was there, and the two dogs were kind of, Vinnie was just like saying hello, the other dog started barking, and then Vinnie started barking, and it was all good, it was just like saying hello to the little dog, and then the mother of the dog came along, because she was, this dog was with another person, the alarm just went off, that was very strange, and yes, so I, everything was nice until that point, and then, it happened very quickly,

and Vinnie, the lady had the little puppy in her arms, and Vinnie was jumping up, he was just so excited, and he kept jumping up, and at one point, and she was like screaming, this woman was screaming, get him off, get him, so I was trying to catch him, and I couldn't get to him, because there was three people, and another dog, and like I couldn't, every time I went to get him, another one was getting in the way, and I was like just, shit, everyone was moving around as well,

so I couldn't, so when they moved around, Vinnie was moving around, I just couldn't get to him, and I was trying, I actually fell over like twice I think, and eventually I got him, but not before he jumped up, and he bit the dog's tail, the lady said he bit the puppy's tail, and I was trying to explain that he didn't mean to bite, you know, yes he did, I saw him bite, hanging off like, yeah, but I was trying to explain to her that he wasn't being aggressive,

he was actually playing, and he just got over excited, he wasn't, he's usually to other dogs, he loves other dogs, little dogs anyway, not a big fan of big dogs these days, but, and just it all went wrong from there, and I was apologising to her, and she was upset, and I was upset, and I said the wrong things, I was trying to make it better, but in this, you know, she kept going on about, oh what if it was, what if it was I had a child in my hand,

in my arms, I said it wasn't though, you didn't know did you, and that didn't help, and then I said something ridiculous that I don't even know why I said it, I said I'd rather it was a child than a puppy, and I don't know why I said that, it's not what I meant, but that's the words I said, and she said oh, that explains a lot then, it's like, oh God, when did we get married, when did that happen, and what I said didn't make sense, because I actually,

I didn't mean that, she said obviously you think it's okay, you'd rather him bite children, I was like no, that's not what I meant, of course I don't want him to bite kids, so yeah, I was saying the wrong thing, I was so confused, because I was not prepared for that, and I've never had a situation like that in my life, and it won't, I will not again either, that will not happen again, and I just didn't know what to do, I did not know, and luckily the other dog's owner,

the dog that Vinnie plays with, she was kind of supportive, she was saying well he doesn't, that's not like him, because she's met Vinnie loads of times, like probably six months, seven months of them playing together, maybe longer, and she had the lady with the puppy saying well why is he like that now, and she's like I don't know, he was over excited, but from her perspective, I mean it must have been absolutely awful, and I felt for her, but at the same time, there was too much going on,

I kept apologising to her, and it wasn't making any difference, and Vinnie really didn't do anything wrong, I mean he did, but he didn't he didn't purposely, it's kind of like he's barking and then jumping up, and he must have just, perhaps he saw it as a toy or something, I don't know, and the fact that she was holding him, that probably made him want to jump up even more, but she didn't lift him high enough, if she'd lift him above her head, it was only a little puppy, it wasn't heavy,

just above her head, I would have had him just stayed still, I could have grabbed him, but she wasn't, she held him around her chest, and he was moving around, and it wasn't her fault, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying it made it harder for me to get to him, and probably being fat probably didn't help me either, because I'm just clearly not fit enough to chase a dog around, I tried to get him, and I ended up face first in the mud a couple of times, dropped my phone on the floor,

I wasn't bothered about the phone, it just all went a bit weird, I managed to get him in the end, and honestly, probably had the worst day of the year so far, even worse than the funeral, you know, that's, at least with a funeral you can be upset, you know why you're upset, and you know it's just a natural situation to be upset about, this is something, and I was prepared for it, I'd had a month to prepare for the funeral, this was just, well more than a month in fact,

probably about 6 weeks, this was just out of the blue, whew, I really can't handle stuff like that, it's amazing, and I was saying all the wrong things, and I generally like, afterwards when I'm at home and I'm thinking, I just came across as an arsehole, and I'm not, I don't think I am, and I was poor, it's like I was saying just, I didn't mean, I wasn't meaning what I was coming across as, I wasn't presenting myself in the correct way, I was just trying to explain to her that I cared about her little puppy,

it was a beautiful puppy, I mean literally before that, when she was with the other lady, I was cuddling the puppy, I was like stroking the puppy, it was so beautiful, and I didn't know Vinnie was going to go so over the top, because he's never done anything like that before, so, it's such a shame, because I can't ever let him off the lead again, ever, which means we're never going to be able to run around with his friends, either Archie or Noodles, unless they're in like a garden or something,

private garden, then yeah, outside of that, I mean I'll have a word with Archie's mum and see whether or not she's up for him coming round and having a little play date with Archie, and if so, then I'll get some film footage of that, because she's got quite a nice garden, so, and she literally just lives round the corner, and maybe I'll have a word with Noodles' mum, to see if she'd be up for something similar, or we'll go somewhere where there's like an enclosure, but it's just such a shame,

I mean, I just, well I don't know, I mean I feel that I know how much it means to Vinnie, to play with them two boys, it's the happiest I see him, ever, he's so happy when he's with them two, he just runs around, cuddles, he's got another friend as well, but he doesn't see him so often, but it's the same thing, he dances, kisses, they, and Noodles pretty much did the same thing to Vinnie the day before, bit his tail, but he's just playing, it's not, they're not being vicious,

they're just playing with each other, and Vinnie probably does the same to Noodles, you know, and it's trying to slow the dog down probably, it's not, it's not a vicious dog, especially to other dogs, and even more so with kids, every kid that meets him loves him, most of the adults love him as well, he's got, he's well known around there for being a nice dog, so probably now, his name, my name is Mud now, probably around there, and it's such a shame, because something so quick like that can change everything,

and you know, I start thinking what shall I do, what shall I do about him, do I have to get rid of him, do I have to find a new home for him, if he's gonna, you know, if, I don't know, I just got confused, like I can't hardly give him up can I, but it's just, I have to make sure he never does that again, should I put a muzzle on him, yeah he'd like that wouldn't he, a muzzle, it's not quite that aggressive, he does bark at big dogs,

but what I'm gonna have to do is just take him out when there's no one else around, don't take him in the park anymore, and he'll get his long walks, but it won't be how it has been, so hey, it's such a shame though, because he's, he's such a loving dog, he's so loving, he loves the people more than the dogs, in fact when I was apologising yet again to the lady with the puppy, she was sitting down, Vinnie was like at her leg, trying to say hello to her,

and she said can you get your dog off me, like okay, fair, I wasn't taking any notice of what he was doing, I had him on the lead at this point, like even then all he wanted to do was just be loving and that, so yeah, it was absolutely awful, and it probably wasn't as a big a deal as what I thought it was, but it felt it, it felt like it was a huge deal to her, which I'm sure it would have been to me if it was my puppy,

I'd have lost my, I'd have just lost it I think, if it had been my puppy and another dog was like that, but I would have held it above my head, so it's just, you know, we're talking about a little dog, not an Alsatian here, you know, an Alsatian is at you, wherever you hold whatever it is, you're not going to be able to keep the Alsatian off, he's a little Jack Russell, he cannot jump above your chest if you're short, he can't get higher than that,

not in any way is possible for him to do it, and he won't ever bite a human, he won't bite anyone on purpose, but yeah, that's what our little Vinnie's been up to, I don't want, I'm going to do the Q&A Friday, but I just, I was going to do a recording about this yesterday, but I couldn't, I had to basically just go to bed, and today I felt better, because I started to question myself, like, am I a horrible person, because did I, the things I was saying,

I wasn't like swearing at her, I don't think, I might have sworn, I don't think I did, but I wasn't, it wasn't, it was me, but it was, I don't know, it was a different, I was not prepared for that, I wasn't prepared for that situation, and I would say possibly I acted a little bit out of character, but I was trying to protect the puppy, I was trying to protect Vinnie from her kicking him, which she was trying to do, she kicked him a few times to get him off her,

which is, I suppose, it's fair enough from her perspective, but to see him being kicked in the face by someone is quite hard to see, especially at that point, all he'd been doing was just jumping up, so it was, yeah, it was very difficult, and I just wish it hadn't happened, you know, I'd give anything just to, and I know a lot of people listening probably think it's just, why would I even be bothered by it, but I am, I'm bothered by it, because I don't want that, I mean,

the puppy was scared, and I hate seeing that, she's honestly the cutest little puppy in the world, and that's what I was trying to explain to her, that I would, I'd rather him bite a kid, but when I said that I was talking about nipping, which is what he did, he nipped, you know, and he has nipped a couple of kids in the past by accident, by being overexcited, and it's a nip, he would never bite anyone like that, when he was a puppy, yeah, okay, he was a bit bitey,

but as an adult, he doesn't, he'll snap, you know, if I grab him, and he can be snappy if he's caught off guard, but that, he's not like a, I don't know how to explain it, and then Wednesday, I made a recording, and I deleted it, because it was awful, worse than this, could you believe, there was a few funny bits actually, but I just like, this, I can't make recordings when I'm in that mindset, and it was a different mindset, but it was Wednesday, because I hadn't had a great Wednesday or Thursday,

Tuesday I'd had a headache, but it wasn't too bad, but Wednesday, Thursday was not good, but Wednesday, I'd made a recording, I thought I'd still do the recording, no, hour and a half talking, and or hour and 40 minutes, I just deleted it in the end, because it was not nice, it wasn't particularly pleasant recording, because I was just talking about real stuff, and I know I do talk about real stuff sometimes, but I don't want to do too much of that, because I'd like to keep this as light hearted as possible,

I mean the recording I did, the caring for others recording, that, at the very beginning, I tell everyone, this is not going to be like a normal recording, turn it off, this is going to be serious, and we're talking about serious stuff and all that stuff, so I do, there was like a warning right at the beginning, but this, you know, this isn't one of those, so I'll move on from that, but I just wanted to update you on Vinnie's adventures, so now I'm,

I can only really take him out when there's no one else around, because I don't know what the comeback's going to be on that one, I don't know if there's going to be a backlash, so it's just weird, it's awful, I mean, when I saw that puppy, all I wanted to do was just kiss him, because he was so beautiful, and he was a puppy, but he was old enough to walk, so, and she said it's his second walk and now he's going to be traumatised, and that broke my heart,

you know, the idea that that might be the case, and so my concern was the puppy, out of everything, it was for the puppy, and I don't know if I really perhaps presented myself too well, I wasn't, well I was a bit worried about Vinnie when she started kicking him in the face, but, you know, but at the same time I couldn't get to her, I mean she was kicking him, I think it was more trying to push him away, and it was just, it was like a farce,

I've got it all recorded on my phone, not the, because I was recording, I basically had my phone on so I could record Vinnie and Noodles playing together, but they wouldn't, they wouldn't spend more than like three seconds together, then they'd run off again, so, I had the phone, I thought, I just told his mum, told Noodles, well I'll keep the phone and recording, and then whenever I can get them together I will, and that's when this happened, and my phone fell on the floor, and you can hear the whole event,

I'm going to store it, but I'm not going to release it, because it's not, it sounds really bad, and it was bad, but it wasn't the, you know, it just, there was a lot of screaming, and most of it was coming from me, screw up a lot of me, anyway, so Q&A Friday man, yeah man, so let's just have a look, see what we've got, there we go, I've got someone phoning me, I don't want anyone to phone me, stop phoning me, okay, let's have a look, so, just trying to find it,

sorry, give me two seconds, Jason Newlands Boring Group, right, Q&A Friday, yeah, I've only got three, so this is going to be a very short recording I guess, unless you're listening for ten hours, wait a minute, there's four, it says I've got three comments, but there's actually four, oh, so there's four questions, okay, one from Ben Dave, Ben, one from Diane R, one from Dimitri, and one from Claire, so, which one, I'll start with Ben, I'll start at the top, so, Ben asks me, favourite cartoons as a child, ooh,

how far back do you want to go and how far forward do you want to go, because to be fair, I was watching cartoons in my twenties, one of my favourite cartoons ever is two, one I discovered when I was an adult, and it's because I don't think it was around to be fair when I was a kid, but it's the X-Men, the X-Men cartoons, I love the X-Men, I used to watch it in 1995, 1995, every morning I'd be on, they'd show it, I'd have my breakfast, and I'd hear the tune, and I'd hear the tune, or whatever, I don't know, but it was the X-Men anyway, and I loved that.

The other one, is something that I watched in my twenties, but I also watched it when I was a teenager, and that is Muppet Babies. I love Muppet Babies but that's older childhood and so I went through different periods I went through I went through the period of watching cartoons myself.

I didn't get to watch cartoons, no two periods first of all when I was really little as far as children's shows I used to watch Andy Pandy and this is when I was what probably three four or something I don't remember much I do remember watching Andy Pandy though that was one of my favorites and it was on kind of midday late morning maybe early afternoon and then I watched because I wasn't old enough to go to school but got a fast forward till I was about seven before I started

watching cartoons again and I in the 70s like 77 for example which is kind of the year I'm starting from there if things were different to how they are now because if you go to ITV or BBC it's all cookery programs cookie cookie programs it's just that's what it seems to be is cookery shows when I was a kid it was always usually it was like a I don't know what you want to call them kids show kids shows that had cartoons on them so when I was about seven on

a Saturday morning we had Tiswas with Chris Tarrant and we had the multicolored swap shop which was Noel Edmonds and what's his name he was a kid on it I forget Keith Cheggers Cheggers was on that and he was only a kid I say kid I don't know he might be in 17 or whatever but he was young so he was on there with Noel Edmonds and they'd have the show but then in they'd have slots where they'd have cartoons and what we would do we kind of get to know

the format and we'd swap over the me and my brothers we'd swap over between multicolored swap shop and the Tiswas so that we could catch the correct cartoons I'm trying to think which ones I remember I mean there's always like Tom and Jerry you know Disney stuff but then there was Hong Kong Fury I loved Hong Kong Fury do anyone remember that used to get changed inside a filing cabinet and there was oh yeah catch the pigeon was it called catch the pigeon or was it another name but the theme

tune was catch the pigeon catch the pigeon catch the pigeon now catch the pigeon I think but then that character Dastardly and Mutley who were in catch the pigeon they were also in like another cartoon that were they became the stars of that cartoon it's yeah so I'm not sure if they had their own cartoon but Dastardly and Mutley and then there was the Pink Panther the Pink Panther not that not the movies but the cartoon Pink Panther he's pink from head to his toes and it was always do do

do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do and it was the same tune every single week variations of the same tune do do do do do and you had Inspector Clouseau and the Pink Panther and it was to be fair I'm not sure did did they have the Pink Panther actually with real-life stuff as well so the Pink Panther and there was like humans I've got a vague memory of that but it was definitely I'm sure that used to be on but I remember

it used to be on peak time at one point like in my older childhood years maybe well a couple years later maybe used to be on like 6 o'clock on a Saturday evening it was peak time viewing along with maybe the Muppets but at that time I think it was on like as a cartoon yeah so the Pink Panther Hong Kong Fury the Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry was always a roadrunner roadrunner and doing now that's just me doing impression of the Roadrunner and that was so creative I mean

how many ways can you chuck an anvil off the end of a cliff you know it's just oh what's the other one um Speedy Gonzales these are characters that probably wouldn't be allowed anymore but Speedy Gonzales was well he used to go like he was a gunslinger and he had a big beard and he was about two inches tall and he had red hair and a hat and it was they were just iconic characters for that time Hong Kong Fury the Banana Splits not a cartoon not a cartoon but at

the time shows how old I am at the time the Monkees used to be on I mean it was repeat obviously because the Monkees was from the 60s wasn't it but the TV show was shown I don't know if it was on in the morning part of the show and I just showed the Monkees or if it was separate I think it was part of the show part of the tis was or whatever it was the Banana Splits were part of the Monkees and then they got their own show and

it was a monkey monkey monkey split splits no no it's not right um we're the Monkees hey hey we're the Monkees though one banana two banana three banana four five banana six banana seven monomore I think they used that for what's that movie kick-ass I think they moved they used that sound soundtrack for one of the fight scenes in kick-ass I used to like the Monkees I've never liked every song they ever did and I know that they'd broken up by then you know 77 that they've been they've been closed for probably 10 years at that point but they were still on our TV in England they were still showing those old shows I mean even in the middle 80s they were still showing Dr.

Kildare which was from the 60s maybe 50s they'd show that on a like a Tuesday evening on a BBC 2 or Channel 4 because when Channel 4 started a lot of it was just old stuff and I think they did one thing of their own which was the Brookside and in the early days like 1982 or whatever year they started blindly whatever cartoons did I like the three no I'm just trying to think of that because it is changed because there's the early one like you know I can only go

back as far as probably the moon moon moon moon moons or whatever was early then 77 and then there's another period which would be I can't I can kind of remember which would be more like the period when I used to watch cartoons with my little brother so I would be about 13 14 15 16 and he was eight years younger than me so I'd watch the cartoons with him so I'll move on to that area that that era was more the three musket hounds oh yeah I used to love

watching it's like like watch it on my own even I had oh mighty mouse and danger mouse danger mouse was one of my favorite cartoons he's courageous he's outrageous wherever there is danger he'll be there danger mouse mighty mouse no anyway did it did it did it did it do danger mouse did it did it to danger mouse did it did it danger mouse see I like that and I think they did a new version of it but without the voices that the original people because danger mouse was Del Boy

David Jason and what was his name danger mouse and it was a mole danger mouse his sidekick was a mole and he was Terry Scott from Terry and June see if you're from another country and you don't know who Terry Scott is check him out honestly his voice he was so good with his voice and danger mouse just go on YouTube check it out you might not even seen it and I'm know it's probably aged it's dated probably but Terry Scott it's such a good voice and mole was he moley

danger mouse and mole I'll remember it eventually but that was more early 80s I think so I used to watch that but then like more middle 80s I started watching stuff with my little brother and the musket hounds all for one and all for all all for one and one for all musket hounds are always ready one for all and all for one helping everybody one for all and all for one it's a thinner story did it did it did it did it did it did it did it did it

did it did it did it did it did it did that musket hounds they're all dogs I used to like that show and Fraggle Rock see I didn't like these shows because my little brother liked them I liked them because I liked them and it gave me an excuse to watch them so I loved Fraggle Rock especially even now the the trash heap has spoken I love that the trash heap talking and like giving advice and stuff but was that was it let the music play did to go in for

another day did it did it did it down at Fraggle Rock I mean continuously the the little workers construction workers always building the roads and the train tracks or whatever the buildings and the Fraggle just coming and eating them yes you know I think it's a metaphor for life sometimes so yeah I used to watch that love love that other cartoons I used to like Muppet Babies I know I mentioned that but that was one of my favorite I watched that in my 20s when I was like 22 23 24

they used to have it on TV in the afternoon in the morning because we still had cartoons and children's programs in the morning but there was a time when the show in the morning was not really it was aimed at kids but it wasn't really for kids where it was for adults as well as kind of it was Ant & Dec and Cat Deeley and it was funny they were all so good together and I still think it's the best thing any of them ever did I know they all went

on to be huge successes and stuff but that show was so good it was just funny and I was and if the kids liked it but I was you know I was an adult technically I loved it I used to watch it whenever I wasn't working on the Saturday morning I'd watch it it was good I did it was really good but I yeah they used to have see again I think they must have had the Muppet Babies either they had it on June the show or after or before probably

you know I'm not sure I used to watch that but it lasted for about half hour I think Muppet Babies make your dreams come true Muppet Muppet Muppet Muppet Babies yeah what other things I used to quite like Sesame Street I know Sesame Street's not a cartoon but I found Sesame Street quite funny at times and when you consider lots of famous people went on there even though this technically supposedly educationally you know that kind of thing but I used to quite like watching it when I had a day off

school or you know through a sickie or whatever it'd be quite nice to just watch Sesame Street let the music play going for another day did today did it now that's Fraggle Rock isn't it here we come knocking down that's no that's different one Sesame Street it's a Sesame Street come on down to Sesame Street that might not be the correct tune but it was something like that come on down to Sesame Street it's a really nice street to come on down come on down to Sesame Street where you can

learn from puppets I heard some of the characters like the Cookie Monster and then you had the Muppets of course but that okay I'm moving away from the cartoons here just trying to think what other cartoons I really really liked okay as an adult was this question about as a child yeah it was isn't it okay because as it as an adult I'd say Family Guy was my favorite cartoon and I used to really enjoy The Simpsons when it first started you know first for the first hundred years or so

what was my all-time favorite cartoon maybe it month I think Muppet made Muppet babies used to it felt good watching it it's a feel good thing because all about imagination wasn't it they just imagined like a whole new world and they'd be doing whatever in their imagination and then their mom or the nanny would come and give them some food and I don't know just very different from the Muppets the actual show the Muppets even though all the characters were on there like Kermie and Miss Piggy and Animal and Fozzie

you know Fozzie Bear and whatever I don't know so yeah cartoon wise it's the one that I've missed out though is a one that was like proper proper good and I loved it but I've not remembered it that was seemed like a real a real stinky shame wouldn't it I wonder Hong Kong Thuie Tom and Jerry I did like the Disney stuff I mean you know anything as well I know Tom and Jerry wasn't Disney but I like the Disney stuff like Donald Duck and but I wasn't when I used

to because Disney used to be on when I was yeah during my childhood quite often it'd be on the Saturday evening like an actual primetime TV program and I was and it always like showed you like filmed as zoomed into the tower you know the Disney Tower and I used to cross my fingers like please let it be a real life you know because sometimes it'd be a cartoon sometimes it'd be a mixture between cartoon and animation and real life other times it just be real life and I preferred it

when it was just humans acting I don't know why I just did I'm really trying to think of some other cartoons come on come on other cartoons where other cartoons anyone there's probably some really obvious ones that are not coming to mind when I was a kid banana man I used to like banana man I suppose danger mouse is one of my favorite ones I didn't have like one specific favorite all-time greatest cartoon really I think of the Muppet Babies because that lasted a lot longer than the others and it's

something I probably would still watch now just out of just nostalgia really if it was on I'd probably watch it I prefer the animation back then to the one now it's just it doesn't seem I don't know just just seemed better back then but I was a kid I was looking through child's eyes wasn't I done the Pink Panther there's probably loads loads that I'm not remembering or that's not coming into my memory yeah off the top of my head I can't really think of any others yeah I think that's

it I think that's all the ones I can so I don't have a specific mostest favoritest but but I've got used to say five favorite cartoons so he didn't ask for this one so Ben I've got this day kind of the ones I'd say I love the Musket Hounds but I was kind of 15 14 15 at the time but I just loved it just I don't know why I just it was nice to be able to get away with watching cartoons because my brother was like seven so he was

watching them and I was watching them and again I love to watch your faggot rock but that wasn't a cartoon was it that was puppets yeah I can't think of any others this probably load Oh Scooby-Doo blimey how did I forget Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo was probably one of my favorites as well it was yeah especially when I was young yeah I loved Scooby-Doo yeah I did did love Scooby-Doo that was funny and so I couldn't think of any others and I thought Scooby-Doo wonder what others they're like it's really some really

big ones that I've completely mislaid mislaid just disappeared anyway so that's some of the ones I really really really loved so Diana asks me when you do the countdown in your 10-hour podcast do you actually sit there and do the countdown or is it pre-recorded okay sorry this is do you mean do I sit here every time and do 10 hours of talking or is that what you mean I don't know I basically recorded the each one each bit separate and put them together but I do sit there and do

the countdown so if it's like a hundred down to one even if it takes an hour or longer I will sit there and do the whole thing it's hard I did it before years ago I did it and I said like just count down 199 98 97 96 95 and then add gaps in between but it didn't come out well it just it didn't sound right so and the the idea is a hundred 99 98 and then as the load the numbers get lower there's a longer gap between them that's

kind of so it is the the 10-hour part so I make the recording the 10-hour pies or pre-recorded and ready so when I do the I do the whatever recording for this this example let's say this lasts for an hour and then add the other bits onto the end because yeah I mean I don't yeah I couldn't count you're right it says there wake it up when you wake up during the night you find it comforting you have no idea how I count down from hundred and how it doesn't put

me to sleep it does sometimes it does and I have to edit it so when I do because I've done the countdown from a hundred down to one loads of different times in different podcasts over the years and also the body scan I focus in the top of the head and then gradually working down to the to my toes and sometimes I'll do versions where it's like top of my head and then relax now focus on your forehead relax and sometimes a counting down will be you know 100 relax deeply

99 relax deeply and I say the word I say the number individually I say the word the words relax deeply each time as well I mean technically I could just sort 100 99 and count all the way down or count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 all the way up to 100 and then just say relax deeply once and just copy and paste it in each one but I just don't think it has the same rhythm or the same doesn't feel the same to me feels realer if I've

actually done it and it is hard it's hard to do it you know it's hard it's not hard but it's hard to do it without falling asleep so yeah I don't but as far as I don't every time I make a recording I don't spend 10 hours talking that would be whatever I just it wouldn't I don't think I could possibly I don't think I could physically do that it's it'd be too difficult I have no voice left if I was speaking for 10 hours and especially is this this yeah

but with it you're right with the counting down blimey I do do it I have done it but it was hard it was hard to not fall asleep as well as the body scan whenever I do the body scan it's very hard to keep track of what I'm saying even what part of my body I'm focusing on I hope I answered that okay thank you for that Diana thank you Ben the next question is from Dimitri who's gonna win the Tyson versus Paul fight I did see that earlier I saw

the question and I thought Tyson's fought fighting Usyk and I completely forgot about the Mike Tyson fighting whoever it is he's fighting one of the Paul brothers and I forgot about that because when I now when I think of Tyson I think of Tyson Fury because you know he's well he's the the one that's or was the champion and I think will be the champion again come December 21st I think was it 24th I think it was the 21st who's gonna win the Tyson versus Paul fight see I don't think

they should be fighting personally he's what 58 years old something like that I mean come on that's just ridiculous it doesn't matter if you wanna you know a lot of people I'm not saying I'm saying I think I've personally think it's silly that they're doing it I understand why they're doing it cuz it's money that's a lot of money that they're both gonna be making but I I used to believe back in the day when these YouTube fights started because it was a novelty you know it's like okay who can

we get fighting each other and you had Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones jr. and that was just a it was an exhibition really but Mike Tyson did hurt Roy Jones in the stomach I think he broke a couple of his ribs and he didn't punch Jones hardly at all in the face but Roy Jones did punch Tyson in the face a few times but the whole thing was just a bit pointless because they're both too old to be doing it this was what four or five years ago now but for

those that say online oh Mike Tyson's gonna knock him out and what I used to think that about Evander Holyfield because Evander Holyfield got on his gravy train to make some money and he went in the ring now Evander Holyfield is arguably arguably I mean he is technically the most successful heavyweight champion of all time he's held the belts more than anyone else in history he also he was just amazing amazing fighter but he was old he again he was in his 50s maybe 55 54 when he fought in the

ring with an ex MMA fighter there was boxing rules so there was no kicking or anything like that but Holyfield and I fought just on his basic instincts no rabbits involved just basically Evander Holyfield should win just knock this bloke out and I'd be done and the opposite happened Evander Holyfield got battered straight away really quickly by this man this ex MMA fighter or UFC or whatever and you know 20 years ago whenever Holyfield was actively a boxer doing in his prime or even at the end of his prime would

have just laughed at this MMA fighter in the boxing ring not in the MMA ring or the UFC ring because a boxer doesn't stand a lot of chance they stand a chance but as soon as the MMA fighter grabs them it's pretty much over so a boxer all they've got is the punch and if they don't get the punch in quick enough they're in trouble if they do then good but that's what I've noticed in my observations of the sport the crossover but Holyfield who I think anyone it's hard to

argue that Holyfield to say that Holyfield wasn't better than Tyson in at least the last 10 years of them both fighting Holyfield just beat Tyson he was better you know Tyson the problem with Tyson is he hit his peak at probably 1920 most heavyweight fighters don't hit their peak till they're maybe in their 30s late 20s early 30s maybe but at least you know late late 20s Tyson hit his peak really early which makes me laugh when people talk about some heavyweight boxers and say what is he gonna he's only

19 it's only 21 wait until he gets his man strength no one said that about Mike Tyson wait till Mike Tyson gets his man strength not one person would have said that it's so ridiculous I suddenly Mike Tyson was gonna become stronger because he was 25 guaranteed I don't think he became stronger he was he was at his peak a very early age that peak might have beaten Holyfield you know Holyfield in his peak against Tyson in his peak it would have been a different fight perhaps but it's really it'd

be foolish to underestimate Holyfield but any point because he was phenomenal he really was you know through most of his career he was amazing and through a lot of his career Tyson wasn't amazing it was amazing at times especially at beginning you know when he first won the world titles I know he had that long break and then he came back and he seemed like he was back on form but he struggled a bit with some of the other fighters that Lennox Lewis just wiped away really quickly for example Andrew

Golota Tyson he beat him Tyson you know Andrew Golota wouldn't come out for one of the rounds after he took a beating but it took a while to do it it wasn't an easy fight it wasn't an easy one to watch it didn't go and he gave Tyson a good old fight when he fought Riddick Bowe this Andrew Golota he clearly won both those fights but he got disqualified twice for low blows and he didn't need to he was beating Riddick Bowe up he's one of the one of those people

you say he should have he should have been would have been should have been heavyweight champion if he'd have only be able to keep his punches high higher he was absolutely wiping the floor with Riddick Bowe and both the fights ended in controversy because of low blows so he got disqualified twice and then he fought Lennox Lewis and Lennox Lewis just knocked him out clean out almost easily so it's quite weird if you look at the same opponents how it worked Lennox Lewis he fought Holyfield he fought Tyson went the

distance for Holyfield twice beat him twice or did did he beat him twice or was the first one a draw I can't remember but he beat Tyson of course in 2001 or 2002 anyway the point I'm trying to make is we've got a really strong young man who's what is he 26 27 with knockout power he's not just he's not an average person it's not like it's me going in the ring with someone like Tyson this is someone that's a trained boxer now he's had quite a few fights he trains

full-time by some of the he's gonna have some of the best trainers and in the world working with him some of the best sparring partners because he's got the money I don't think I think Tyson will get knocked out and I don't want to see that I really don't generally I mean think about it would okay if I look at different ways if you look at Mike Tyson's last opponent who knocked him out and he kind of quit from then he's just like no that's it done I think he might

quit on his stall but that was it he'd had enough so that opponent would John Paul or whatever his first name is how would he fare against that bloke and I'd say probably beat him so Paul as he is now would have been beaten the last person that beat Mike Tyson 20 years ago so looking at that way so if the person that couldn't beat Mike Tyson 20 years ago who could beat Mike Tyson 20 years ago and Paul could beat him the same person if they was kind of the

same age or whatever he could I think Paul could have beaten him which means technically I know it's not always the same doesn't work out that way Paul possibly could have beaten Tyson on that night so 20 years later if he could beat a Tyson 20 years ago he's gonna be able to beat a Tyson now and you can't you know he's still gonna have a punch but his punch resilience resilience rather went it left him wasn't there anymore his heart wasn't in it near the end he was only doing

it for money you know old Mike Tyson was in so much debt he wasn't really even getting paid hardly anything out of the fights he was taking but he owed like 200 million dollars or something like that so he was doing it for the money and his heart wasn't in it and it's kind of sad because he wouldn't have stood it any of those people was by the last person especially wouldn't have stood a chance against him when he was in his prime I'll tell you who was good though Danny

Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny was so named Danny and it was Danny anyway he was an English fighter and he knocked Tyson out and he went in with Klitschko and got knocked down multiple times but the thing is he was really good Danny can't remember his surname the thing is he fought Klitschko probably in his peak and Klitschko is one of the greats I can't know which Klitschko he fought if it was Vladimir or Ben I can't remember or Bobby Bobby Klitschko but the thing is I

once saw there was a fight that Danny I keep saying Danny Danny Danny Danny Danny not Danny Evans Danny Danny Danny Danny that's good I bet it'll come to me just at the end or just after I finish recording Danny I'm not gonna look it up it's not that important I mean it's important to him but I mean it's not important for the recording I was a fan of his because he had this fight once and he absolutely dislocated his shoulder his right arm so he couldn't show that he couldn't

throw the right punch which was his knockout punch and he actually he couldn't continue with a fight really yet at the end of that round they would have stopped the fight because he had this dislocated shoulder but they let him fight on for that round but I reckon it would have been a stoppage they would have had to stop it because it's too bad an injury couldn't protect himself he managed to knock out his opponent with just his left hand just with jabs and I've never seen it in my life

it's a very very spectacular ending it that's Danny oh it nearly came to me then Danny so yeah I was a fan of his and the way he knocked Mike Tyson out was very similar to the way Buster Douglas knocked Mike Tyson out it's almost if you watch the two together it's a very similar very similar kind of knockout process and Danny yeah I keep saying Danny I can't oh Danny Evans but it's Danny Evans Danny anyway he's so I'm thinking Ru Paul is it Ru Paul Ru whatever his name

is I think he will win the Tyson fight unless it's fixed it might just be fixed to be like a wrestling match you know like pre-rehearsed one goes down then the other goes down and the ideal situation would be Mike Tyson winning because then it would be kind of like to show that someone can still win even though they're like nearly 60 years old against a young man physically fit strong young man but it's they might do that for the entertainment value maybe they'll even make it so there's a rematch

so people are talking about it and want a rematch and end it with a controversy maybe end it with a draw perhaps they'll do it so both go down but after the the fights I've seen John Paul Gaultier whatever his name is none of his fights look staged to me because he does he lays people out but really he's got a good punch on him so but he's not heavyweight he's more like light heavyweight but then maybe Mike Tyson's not heavyweight anymore he's could never he was never a heavy heavyweight

anyway not that he needed to be he had the he had the whole Rocky Marciano not Rocky Balboa Rocky Marciano kind of thing wasn't particularly heavy wasn't particularly tall but he had that style of getting underneath and in to the taller guys and if anything I think he probably did better with the taller guys those that were willing to have a fight with him I mean Bone Crusher Smith and Tony Tucker both kept out of his way for the 12 rounds so they managed to go the distance but anyone that

was that was willing to kind of really swap pity patter with him usually ended up going sleepy sleepy byers so yeah I reckon if it's a real real thing Jake Jake Paul isn't it Jake Paul will win and it'll get stopped because it shouldn't be happening in the first place and I really really hope I hope really hope that Mike Tyson has been tested all the tests that need to be done to make sure that he's okay and he's well enough physically well enough to be doing this but what he

might come unstuck though Jake Paul because I'm just trying to think of Mayweather see Mayweather still does he still does boxing bouts he still does it as like just for fun I think but he gets paid good money but he doesn't fight boxers now that are kind of world champions or world champion level in boxing but he did he fought TGI what's his name KSI's brother and he was dancing around not not KSI's brother is it chaos chaos chaos KSI's brother KSIB then I suppose KSI's brother he I think his

name is Steve and he Mayweather was dancing around he didn't sit down in between rounds and he was just smiling and waving at the audience and all that stuff and he he just played around with KSI's brother and just bobbed and weaved and tapped him a little bit and that was it and then KSI's brother punched Mayweather really hard in the face like it was a really good punch and punched him in the eye or in the lip or whatever but he you could see it he turned it changed and

he then went bad KSI's brother and basically got stopped so there's a chance that if Mike Tyson gets clipped and he gets hurt his natural instinct might come into play and I'm not sure if Jake Paul could handle Mike Tyson's natural instinct because that Mike Tyson was a fighter you know unlike anyone else in well in my lifetime really he was a very unique kind of boxer I mean my favorite boxer now is Fabio Wardley it has been for quite a while my favorite heavyweight Fabio it's just amazing and I

think he's got sometimes boxers have got that natural toughness and raw talent they're natural fighters Mike Tyson was a natural fighter Fabio Wardley is a natural fighter Gotti was a natural fighter you got those that have just become amazing because they've trained really hard and they've learned the skills and all that stuff but there's some that are just natural and they might not always go on to be successful because they can get outboxed unless the other boxer is willing to get into a fight with them and they will come out

the other end winning but a lot of really clever boxers out there and they don't need to do that they can win on points and they will and I don't blame them I don't get paid extra for getting hurt and they keep their world title or keep their unbeaten record so that might happen with Fabio he might get beaten by on points but don't foresee anyone being able to knock him out because he is he's on a different level and he's proved that a few times actually and I don't think

the world would take notice not really until he does it to someone big if he went in with Anthony Joshua he'd knock Anthony Joshua out I'm 100% if he went in with I don't think there's anyone that he couldn't knock down apart I'm not sure about Usyk because Usyk has never shown any any clue of ever being really knocked not wobbled he's been hurt but it's never looked like he was gonna go down I don't think Tyson Fury has gone down multiple times but he always gets up it's like the

wee ball wee balls wobble but they don't fall down he falls down but he does get up and he's got so much heart and I'm thinking what's his name they're talking about potential today the the boxing world are talking about potential Fabio Wardley against Wilder and I'd love to see that fight but the only problem with that is what Fabio would have to be careful but I think he'll be alright because I'm pretty sure he's in the same team as Joseph Parker I do believe he is and Joseph Parker knew

how to beat Wilder and he did it by staining Wilder's face but at the same time not letting Wilder punch him now if Wilder can punch you that's that's where his I don't sound silly if a boxer can hit you that's where they're gonna mmm yeah I know but Wilder is a special case because he's got he's got a knockout punch in both hands and there's no one he couldn't knock out if he hit them like you know there's no one he's got this it's just phenomenal power but I think

Fabio's probably got that as well at least in his right hand so I think Fabio would be too quick for them and knock him out but there's always a chance because Fabio comes forward the whole time and I've seen Wilder lay on the ropes and catch someone as they've come in and put him to sleep so I don't want to you know I don't want that to happen because I'm Fabio's proper one of his biggest fans I just think he's phenomenal and he's the real deal but he has to fight

the big guys and what I mean by that is the top guys so I keep saying we should fight the bloke Anderson from America that got beaten by whoever beat Anderson I don't know was it oh who beat Anderson was it Dubois that beat Anderson I think it might be it's like no don't put him against someone that's been beaten put him in against someone whose last fight he got beat put him in against someone that's on the winning streak put him against someone in the top five that's what I

think put him in against Zhang the big bang put him against him put him in against he won't fight Joseph Parker I don't think because they're friends they train together I'd like to see either way I see it because now all the belts are going to be fragmented so I like to see Fabio fight for a world title a vacant world title against another like the number one number two whatever and I think the Dubai people can do that because they've got the money they can put that into action so

let them I don't want to see Fabio necessarily fight Yusuke or even Tyson Fury I would like to see him fight someone else I think him and Dubois be an amazing fight and I do think he'd win he'd win that Fabio but at the same time I'm a big fan of Dubois I have been for a long time so you know that's what I didn't like it when Dubois and what's his name fought because I like both of them I don't like it when they put people together that I like

the juggernaut so they did that with Joseph Parker because I'm a fan of his and they put him in with a juggernaut I don't want to see people I like beating each other up no so that's when Tyson and Wilder Tyson Fury I've been a fan of Wilder for 10 years or more and and of Tyson Fury for like 10 12 years so I don't want to I think I did want to see them fight but at the same time I didn't because I've always been a fan of both of

them I sided with Tyson Fury because you know he's he's the national a national hero here so we got a side with him but at the same time you know I even I loved Mike Tyson but when he fought Frank Bruno I wanted Frank Bruno to win I did it's just it was I would always want Frank Bruno to win against anybody in any situation because I loved Frank Bruno he was a national hero and still is as far as I'm concerned so but then when Frank Bruno fought Lennox Lewis

I wanted Frank Bruno to win again but I was a fan of Lennox Lewis but I didn't like the fact that he beat up two of our heroes Gary Mason actually before that someone else a former Cruiserweight champion he beat him up then he beat up Gary Mason then he beat up Frank Bruno actually he didn't beat up Frank Bruno Frank Bruno beat him up but he did knock out Frank Bruno Bruno was well ahead on those cards I'm pretty sure he was ahead on points until he got clipped which

he was of all of his fights where he got beaten apart from against Mike Tyson I stick to that Frank Bruno got beaten by Bonecrusher Smith he was ahead on that fight until he got clipped Witherspoon in 1986 I think it was he was ahead on points there until he got clipped and then he fought Mike Tyson okay he was a one of the first people to hurt Mike Tyson but he did got beat so we're gonna miss out the Mike Tyson fights the next time he got lost he lost

was against Lennox Lewis and again he was on points he was ahead of points before he lost so out of the five times he lost he was ahead on points with those three of those fights it's just the two Mike Tyson fights where he wasn't and and the weird thing is Mike Tyson the first time he fought Mike Tyson Mike Tyson was kind of pretty much in his peak although it did get it did get beaten in his next fight but he was still young Mike Tyson the second time he

fought Mike Tyson Mike Tyson wanted his world title because he just got out of prison and he was been training he was really you know he wanted that probably more than anything in the world so and that was probably I imagine that's Frank Bruno's biggest payday because he wanted that belt and that's I don't think Mike Tyson got enough credit considering he won two world titles again after he got out of prison so he did he won three world titles so he unified all the heavyweight champion world titles in by

1987 was it maybe 88 but 87 I think he'd unified everything and then in 96 he won two world titles two different world titles so you know he didn't unify the second time but he tried to but ultimately you could say he won five world titles individually it was a champion when he won them the see one one title with Trevor Burbick then he fought Bonecrusher Smith and then he fought Tony Tucker I think it was in that order and so he won each individual title and then he fought Frank

Bruno and then he fought oh Seb something I forget his name but he fought him to get so yeah he held five different world title well not five different but five world titles but just not at different times that makes sense three at different times and two at different times I know what I'm trying to say so you can't even say the right thing in my own podcast so that's what I'm thinking I'm thinking Mike Tyson I want Mike Tyson to win but I think it might be a bit of

a farce I don't really want to see him in the ring to be honest with you he's he's earned his stripes now I don't think he needs to he I mean regardless of some of the legal matters that's happened he I guess he's just doing it for the money maybe it's a challenge I don't know don't know but I wish I wish both of them well I mean getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson at any age is not going to be a good experience okay right so Claire I've

got a bit caught up with that one sorry Claire is saying is Vinnie getting a bit chubby you know what I've had a couple of people tell me that and I'm not sure to me I don't think he is but maybe he is I don't know it's really hard to tell and his back end like his his haunch is it a haunch area that seems to be a little bit bigger than it used to be but I don't know what weight they're supposed to be and he's little isn't he it's

only a little thing so he's not ever gonna be I don't think he has the ability to be big and I pick him up he doesn't seem any heavier than he used to be sort of like I'm not struggling to lift him anymore well shouldn't really he's a little Jack Russell I shouldn't have to struggle but it just doesn't seem and I look at him but the neighbors said always put weight on he's fat now I was like okay choose your words wisely and portly portly is the word don't use

the word fat he's my little baby boy no he's like and she hasn't seen him for a couple of weeks so maybe he has put some weight on I just I don't notice it cuz I'm with him all the time I really don't know he's not eating anything extra to what he normally does in fact sometimes he doesn't eat hardly anything he goes a day every every now and then he goes a day where he hardly eats a thing and he makes up for the next day just goes through periods

you know I don't think he's overweight what I might do is if I try to weigh him because I've got scales in my bedroom try to weigh him he wouldn't sit still and someone pointed out that maybe if I held him and just do them scales myself scales scales myself so I might do that and but then he's gonna weigh like 15 over 15 stone I suppose yeah if I work out how much I weigh and then take that off yeah so I don't know what he is probably a few

kilos six kilos apparently Archie's about six kilos so I don't know what he would be maybe it's about the same maybe it's a bit heavier I don't know I really don't know it's got a lot of muscle in him I mean he's always pulling on his leads so he's definitely got a strong neck strong arms I tell you what's weird though yeah cuz I'm gonna end the recording now as soon as I say the last little bit he suddenly springs to life seriously soon as I say the you know the

last thing I normally say in a recording it suddenly springs to life and he's awake so I'll tell you if it works this time so that's the end of this recording anyway thank you for listening and remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy and be gentle yourself lots of love bye no didn't he's not stirred at all he's completely tired he's fast asleep oh yeah there he is good boy yes you are was you completely out of it wasn't you completely out of it completely asleep oh you want to go back to sleep no I'm getting up now I'm getting up baby boy
