00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:12.759
Hello, and welcome to Jasonneuland dot com and my plastic

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:20.559
bottle of water that's just heckled me. So my name

3
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.039
is Jason Newland. This is let me bore you to sleep.

4
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.159
Vinnie's culted up next to me. It's very warm, are

5
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.600
you Vinnie? And it's all cuddled up. He caught it

6
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:43.640
up next to your daddy, if you are. And what

7
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.759
was I gonna say? Please only listen when you can

8
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:54.159
safety close your eyes. And this is well, I didn't

9
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.399
get an opportunity to do a cure. No, I do

10
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:01.560
a Trivia Tuesday. So this is going to be a

11
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:09.159
Trivia Thursday. Boh bah, I thought, I just why not?

12
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:14.159
Why not? Indeed, I've got the day after day kind

13
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:24.200
of so I did already do a recording earlier on

14
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:29.760
but on this recording, I'm not even going to mention.

15
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.120
I'm not going to mention any sausages or anything like that.

16
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.719
Just I'm going to focus on the recording.

17
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.319
Oh yes, So.

18
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:55.519
What I thought I would do is as it's Trivia

19
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:03.040
Thursday instead of Trivia Tuesday, I find a particularly weird subject,

20
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:11.319
very obscure as it were, and I'm going to focus

21
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:23.039
on animals on trial and moves on trying. Yeah, that's

22
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.120
what I'm doing. Oh I could just could you feel

23
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.400
that excitement and energy as I sung that. It was

24
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.120
like I was on a big stage with guitars and

25
00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:43.120
drums and a big microphone and a glipsey suit, you know,

26
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:53.719
obviously showed my midsection of muscles. Actually, I've been doing

27
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.759
problems in my upper back muscles, and yesterday and today

28
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.879
I did some enterpresses and it seems to have kind

29
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.879
of helped. So I'm going to do that every day.

30
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.560
And it just I don't know who knows why, but

31
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.759
maybe it's because the last month I've done hardly any exercise.

32
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:26.360
I've done hardly any weights. I've done more walking, but

33
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.639
I haven't done because normally do weights every day for

34
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.759
my lower back, which probably helps with my other back.

35
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.319
And I've done hardly anything pretty much in the weight division,

36
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:49.159
in the weight division, in the weight department. So yesterday

37
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.240
and today I've done some bench presses with my dumb bells,

38
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:59.400
and I actually it's strange, but I can kind of

39
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.639
it feels a bit better. Our back feels better for

40
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.199
doing that. Who knows, who knows why, But I'm not

41
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.680
gonna I'm not gonna moan about it. I'm just going

42
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:16.720
to enjoy it. So I do. I feel my opper

43
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:22.360
back feels better than it did, so I will continue

44
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.800
to do that every day. I'm only doing a thirty

45
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.519
or forty reps. It's not not heavy because technically, I

46
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:36.439
was thinking, if you can do a push up, press up,

47
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:42.639
push up, what you want to call it, Technically I

48
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.680
should be able to bench press my own weight because

49
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.240
that's what you're doing when you do a press A

50
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:51.279
press up, isn't it or push up? It's your own

51
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:58.040
weight against yourself. So technically I should be able to

52
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:06.959
bench press ninety five kilos or whatever. I am should

53
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:14.240
be able to do that easy, Yeah, I should surely.

54
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:21.480
Yeah.

55
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:26.399
So it's two hundred pounds, two hundred and something pounds,

56
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.160
so I should be able to do that. I shouldn't.

57
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.439
They shouldn't be hard at all. So really three I

58
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.959
suppose three hundred pounds, technically I should be able to

59
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.519
do There's been years since I even bothered with a

60
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.240
bench press, like as in a bench press machine, and

61
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:54.680
I never really enjoyed doing free weights bench presses in

62
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:59.600
the gym like you know, like a proper gym when

63
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.040
I was younger, or at any age really, partly because

64
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.079
when I was a kid, i'd do it, and I'd

65
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.600
always choose to bench press machines if there was other

66
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:22.000
people around, even just doing curls arm curls, it was

67
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.959
a little bit I just didn't feel comfortable doing it

68
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:32.120
because there'd always be someone coming around pumping up the

69
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.600
weights and putting on bigger weights than the ones I

70
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.959
was using, showing off and stuff or just that was

71
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.000
stronger possibly as well, and I was never really into that.

72
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.040
So I'd be in the gym on my own, doing

73
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.959
my own little thing when I was like a kid fourteen,

74
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.439
and you know, all the tough kids from the steer

75
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.319
below or whatever would all be in there, and they'd

76
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.680
all be like trying to outdo each other, and they'll

77
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.000
all have bigger muscles than me, and generally be bigger

78
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.920
than me because I was quite small for my age,

79
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:15.040
very small for my age, and I just I mean,

80
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.399
they didn't show me any disrespect, but it just it

81
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.399
felt a little bit like, oh, okay, if I was

82
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.879
standing there next to them doing only like twenty percent

83
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:32.600
of the weights they were doing, that make me look silly.

84
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.920
They're doing like an arm curl with a barbell, and

85
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.079
then they come along and they'd like, do it. I

86
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.759
don't know what I would have been doing back then,

87
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:51.040
three pounds or something, I don't know, and they'd be

88
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:56.399
coming and doing these big, big weights, and I'm okay,

89
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:04.759
that was bad enough, But then as an adult, it

90
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.800
seemed to be the only people that were doing free weights,

91
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.519
which is about just you know, where you put the

92
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.079
weights on the end of the bars rather than using

93
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.839
the machines. The only people seemed to be doing the

94
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:20.560
free weights are the huge people, you know, the ones,

95
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:30.279
the bodybuilders types, and I was always going to look really,

96
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:37.879
really silly next to them. I mean, there was one bloke.

97
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.799
He was so big. It's when I was in my twenties.

98
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.360
He was so big and muscular. I stood next to

99
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:49.480
him and I disappeared see me because it was just

100
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:56.639
in comparison. I was like I was invisible, and I

101
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.159
realized I'd fallen down a hole.

102
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:00.399
It was.

103
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.840
Not the most enjoyable experience being around people like that.

104
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.320
But then I went to a proper bodybuilding gym, not

105
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.600
on purpose, I mean I didn't accidentally. I didn't think

106
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.440
it was a headdresser's or kabab shop. I didn't notice

107
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:31.320
a gym. But this was different because the other gyms

108
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.399
I've been in have always been like public general gyms,

109
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.600
you know. But even now, the ones where just anyone goes,

110
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.919
maybe they're open twenty four hours a day and you've

111
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.360
got a little security key and stuff, and you still

112
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.919
get the young lads sort of showing off their muscles

113
00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.759
and stuff like that, which is that's what I would

114
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.600
have done if I'd ever been able to, if I'd

115
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:02.000
ever had the muscles to do that with. But then

116
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:06.200
when I was in Stratford, I went into an actual

117
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.720
bodybuilders gym and it was run by a former Mister Universe, WILFH. Sylvester,

118
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.279
And that was a different experience because although there was

119
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.840
huge people training there, none of them were arrogant, none

120
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.039
of them were showing off because they were all big.

121
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.600
It was almost it's a weird one. It's like you

122
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.279
had they didn't have to. I guess they were competing

123
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.039
with each other as in, you know, for competitions and stuff,

124
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.120
but there was you had some peoples going in there

125
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.799
for just to train, like me and you It's basically that.

126
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.480
And then you had these massive, super fit men and

127
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:10.639
women who were athletes, and I have never been an athlete,

128
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.000
never been one of them. I can't even spell the

129
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:23.559
word let's try a F T L E E E

130
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:31.399
t oh, yeah I can. But that for some reason

131
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:38.080
felt like a more safer space because the man running

132
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:44.080
it didn't take no crap. It was lovely, very friendly.

133
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.720
But at the same time, that was his dream to

134
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.279
own his own gym, so he worked his whole He

135
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.600
worked for years, decades as a bodybuilder and working for

136
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.759
the Ford Car Company in day, and I think they

137
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:07.559
sponsored him in his bodybuilding career. So he traveled the world,

138
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:12.799
you know, doing bodybuilding contests and stuff. And then when

139
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:18.360
he retired from bodybuilding, maybe he retired from the car

140
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.840
as well, and he went and opened the gym when

141
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:25.519
he was probably I'm guessing probably in his forties early forties.

142
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.159
And in the window of this gym, most walked past

143
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.000
it for years, never went in there. Well I did

144
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.600
go in there eventually, but you know, for years I

145
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.080
brought past it and there was his cardboard plat out

146
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.000
of him. I didn't know who he was, Will Sylvester,

147
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.159
even though I used to be really into bodybuilding, when

148
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.679
I was at school, as in reading the magazines and

149
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:59.320
wishing upon a star. Basically, I thought if I kept

150
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.879
reading a magazine, scenes my muscles would grow. It didn't happen.

151
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.000
So I knew quite a lot about bodybuilding. The main

152
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:15.039
people back then at Lee Hani Rich GASPARI, yeah, lots

153
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:19.320
of different ones. Back then. There was al Beccles who

154
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.240
was about ninety years old then and now he's one

155
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.080
hundred and fifty and he's still going strong. And he

156
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.600
was in the top ten I think of the Mister Olympia,

157
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:37.679
the oldest ever top ten like placement in the Mister Olympia,

158
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.919
and he was I think then he was like forty eight,

159
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:47.440
maybe even fifty, maybe fifty, maybe higher than fifty because

160
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.960
it's definitely in his nineties now. And this was not

161
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:58.559
nineteen eighty five, eighty four, a five. Because I used

162
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.080
to take the building magazines. I think one was called Flex.

163
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.679
It was definitely called Flex. Another one was I think

164
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.039
Bodybuilding Monthly, so I should take them into school and

165
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:15.600
read them while I was in classroom. So it was

166
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:21.720
between those magazines and the martial arts magazines also like

167
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.039
the boxing magazines are Ko that was a boxing magazine

168
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.039
I like to read. And then the martial arts magazine

169
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:36.080
was what you'd think I'd remember that one, wouldn't you.

170
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:41.480
What was the martial arts magazine? Kung Fu p not

171
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:48.200
Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu? Can I.

172
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:50.200
No?

173
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:57.480
Hm, that would come to me. I could search for it.

174
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.000
I can search kind of, but I can't bother. I've

175
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.639
got the laptop in front of me. But I want

176
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:14.080
to try and see if my memory perhaps works slightly. No,

177
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:23.080
I can't remember. Oh no, nearly had it. It wasn't

178
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:29.320
come through What is it martial arts? It might have

179
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:43.080
been called martial arts, kicking, punching, blocking, fighting, It's some

180
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.279
kind of name. It had a name anyway, And the

181
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.720
specific one I used to buy every month or was

182
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:57.360
it weekly? I think it was every month at least, yeah,

183
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:04.360
I think it was. It might be fortnightly. No, I

184
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.559
can't remember what it was called. But those were the

185
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.960
types of magazines that I used to read. Well, they're

186
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.360
the ones i'd read in public. It's I'm the only

187
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.720
person that actually had a pot. It's weird. I was

188
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:24.000
a little bit embarrassed about reading bodybuilding magazines, so I

189
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.159
had them so when I was at school, because you

190
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.200
know those desks that you can open up and they're

191
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.200
like wooden desks and they open and you can put

192
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.600
stuff inside. I don't know if you've ever seen those.

193
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.480
That's like from decades ago. I'm not sure if they

194
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:43.799
still exist. Well, I used to hide my magazines and

195
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:45.879
read them with that up or I'd put it on top,

196
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.360
and I didn't want other people to know that I

197
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.679
was reading bodybuilding magazines. So what i'd do is hide

198
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.879
it inside A copy of Playboy seemed to do the

199
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:02.440
trick or Penthouse, whichever one I could whatever managed to

200
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:06.359
find in the bushes. When I say bushes, I mean

201
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:10.640
like real, Okay, let's just move on. So I talk

202
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.359
that bushes had the trimmer around. It's really weird. They

203
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.880
trimmed everything except one bit. And as we come out

204
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.200
the front of our of where I live, I've got

205
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.839
this big hedge's big bush, but they haven't trimmed it

206
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.880
off of the pavement, which means I can't see around it.

207
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:37.160
I know, technicy, I've never been able to see around corners.

208
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.920
I can't see what's coming. I can't see what's you know.

209
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.240
It's like really because when I take this little munchkin

210
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.880
out for a walk. I like to said the word

211
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.440
did he hear it? He didn't seem to notice. Good.

212
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.240
He he's asleep. I can't quite see what's coming to

213
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:03.519
the left of me, but they haven't trimmed it back yet.

214
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.920
So this what was I talking about?

215
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.000
That?

216
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:11.279
Oh?

217
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.000
Yeah, I liked that. That was a good gym had

218
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.119
a punch bag as well. So Wilf was cool. I

219
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.880
got him really well with him just I'd stop and

220
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:28.200
a chat chat with him. And I didn't really get

221
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.880
to know him too, I think ninety six, So from

222
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:36.480
ninety six to about two thousand and one, I knew

223
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.039
him like to talk to and to chat to, and

224
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:42.720
I'd sometimes he'd be outside and I'd just have a

225
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:46.240
chat with him. Really nice bloke. I used to go

226
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:51.079
in there with my cousin in about ninety six, and

227
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.559
I think she fancied his son. Yeah, I think she'd Yeah,

228
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.119
she did, yeah, because his son used to be a

229
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.559
trainer as well. And it's really so down to such

230
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:07.920
a nice bloke wolf And I'd go in there sometimes,

231
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.359
I just be hitting there on his own and we'd

232
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.200
talk train together, and I'll say trained together. He'd he

233
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.799
kind of give me a training tips something I couldn't.

234
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.559
I wouldn't even be able to spot for him. So

235
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.480
if he was lifting free weights, seemed to doing the

236
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:28.440
bench press, I'll be no good, you know. So if

237
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.480
he was, if you'd wait a minute, could because if

238
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.160
you don't know what spotting is, basically you're there to

239
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:38.200
help the person with the weights if they if it's

240
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.119
too much, you know, if they've done too much and

241
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.759
you need help. I couldn't help him with his weights.

242
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:46.839
I couldn't lift them. If you can't lift them, what

243
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.400
the hell am I going to do? You'll form mister universe.

244
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.720
So you know I didn't help him, But we used

245
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.559
to like have a go on the punch bag and

246
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.880
hold the punch bag and stuff like that for each other.

247
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.319
Just you know.

248
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.200
It was a really really nice bloke. Liked them a lot,

249
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:10.480
so I did a whole recorded on him. Actually a

250
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:17.759
few years ago. Animals on trial, so these are many

251
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:24.680
evil legal oddities. From the thirteenth to the eighteenth century

252
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:29.759
in Europe, animals were routinely tried in secular courts for

253
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:38.480
crimes just like people. Wow, you know, what do you know?

254
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:46.000
When people like in call herself people in the West

255
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:53.359
call ourselves first world countries and how how you know

256
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.240
and make fun and maybe like talk about other countries

257
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:05.079
being so outdated, and it's not that long ago that

258
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:17.680
people in my country and all over Europe were taking

259
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:28.039
animals to court. And bearing in mind that, you know,

260
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:31.359
those countries are the ones that went and you know,

261
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.920
spread to other countries. So I'm sure this stuff probably

262
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:38.720
also went on in America, possibly went on in Australia

263
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:49.400
as well. So yeah, wow, So pigs top the list

264
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.720
of pigs.

265
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.079
Why did pigs get such.

266
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.400
A hard time? Pigs top the list of offenders due

267
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:02.359
to free Roman pigs often called and problems actually you know,

268
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.759
maybe hurting people accidentally or damaging property. I'm gonna water

269
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.079
down some of the stuff that it says here, so

270
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.680
I just should point out I've got this list from

271
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:20.559
chatgpt dot com. Don't take any of it's true, and

272
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.400
I'm gonna i'm gonna make it if there's anything that's

273
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.240
a little bit horrible, I'm gonna even not mention it,

274
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:37.599
or I will i will make it more palatable. Okay, Yeah,

275
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.920
pigs do get a bad time, and the amount of

276
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.240
people say, oh, don't eat pigg as a dirty animal

277
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:50.440
name a clean, one name one clean animal including humans, No,

278
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.480
none a clean. We have points where we are clean.

279
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.400
I'm sure pig is clean. And it's been raining and

280
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.640
it's been rolling around in the rain and mud. But

281
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:10.880
you know, in thirteen seventy nine, so pigs that's unfortunately

282
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.319
caused a lot of problems for a particular man in

283
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:26.039
France were tried, even in court, even pigs who merely witnessed. Really,

284
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:31.839
even pigs who are who merely witnessed the incident were

285
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:44.480
judged guilty. Wow, that that's mind blowing, isn't it. So

286
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:49.359
one thing charging a pig because it stampeded or whatever,

287
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.240
and it got out of hand and it caused serious

288
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.799
problems for someone. But because other pigs who just minded

289
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:02.559
their own business, just sitting there a human role, you know,

290
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:11.000
human sandwich with some eggs, and they had nothing to

291
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.079
do with it. I was just watching you, like, so

292
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:17.240
they're going to get in trouble as well. That doesn't

293
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:28.480
seem fair. Some pigs were found guilty and sentenced to

294
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:37.319
the worst sentence for eating a consecrated host. A consecrated

295
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:43.440
host eating a concert, I don't know what that means.

296
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:48.559
Friday was a serious aggravation. I don't even know what

297
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:57.000
that means. Of course, a concentrated, consecrated host. So so yeah,

298
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:05.440
so not just sober aso. And she asked, is that

299
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.559
really the name of a female pig, as she asks?

300
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:13.799
She asked, She asked, sounds more like a donkey, don't it,

301
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:18.599
she asked? She asked, as so? And as she asked,

302
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:26.359
were condemned to be They were condemned on appeal, but

303
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.640
on appeal they wouldn't. I'm not going to really this out.

304
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:36.240
They basically were condemned to the worst punishment, but in

305
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:44.240
the end they had a lesser punishment, so they really

306
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:52.720
were being treated like humans. Dolphins were tried in Marcels

307
00:25:52.759 --> 00:26:01.680
in fifteen ninety six. Dolphins. What on earth has a

308
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.599
can a dolphin?

309
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:02.799
Do?

310
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:17.799
I want to know? A drink ah? A Swiss town's

311
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:28.759
donated moose was believed demonic townspeople. I can't something. This

312
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:34.720
is horrible. I'll tell you what. This medieval people not nice.

313
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.680
This is really I'm glad we've got laws now and

314
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:44.240
this is when we had laws. But oh, anyway, I can't.

315
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.599
I just want to say the word the sentence. A

316
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:59.680
Swiss town's donated moose was believed dymnomic, denomic demonic. Okay, weasels, horses, eels, bulls, dogs, sheep,

317
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:12.519
Even rats and locusts faced trials in medieval Europe. Even locusts,

318
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:20.920
you would think, wouldn't you. I'm just thinking possibly, So

319
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:27.920
you've got a locust, one locust, all the hassle. I mean,

320
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:33.960
how did that even go? How many people were involved

321
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:40.240
in the trial? Another question comes to mind, how much

322
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.960
time did these people have on their hands to be

323
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:52.200
taken a rat the trial or an el an eel?

324
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.960
I wonder what that got in trouble for trial record

325
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:06.599
towards show that all this stuff was going on, and

326
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.240
it persisted into the mid eighteenth century where they were

327
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:16.559
actually sentenced to perish, all the way to mid eighteenth

328
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:24.720
century and in some cases early twentieth century. If I

329
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:29.119
was living somewhere and suddenly a chicken was on trial,

330
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:36.519
I couldn't move. I would move as soon as possible.

331
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.519
Oh this is something, Yeah, this is something I actually

332
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:52.319
believe because this is such a kind of human stupidity that, oh,

333
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.039
I just can just imagine that this is true. So

334
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:05.359
back in fourteen seventy four, fourteen seventy four. In Basil,

335
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:13.960
a rooster was prosecuted for laying an extra large egg.

336
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:26.480
An extra large egg because this rooster in fourteen seventy

337
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:35.960
four was deemed unnatural and demonic. Wow, and you know

338
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.960
there's probably still people today. Do I still believe that

339
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.440
they're the ones that need to be up for court.

340
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:56.920
They need to be they need to be in court

341
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.720
being judged and being sentenced. People are leave stuff like that. Wow,

342
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:11.519
not the rooster, absolutely ridiculous. And now the internet's just

343
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:20.759
gone off, brilliant, great, what has it going off? There

344
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:27.240
was no need for that. Okay, I got it back.

345
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.559
I don't know. I just pressed the wrong button. I

346
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.960
pressed the wrong button. It's not the first time I'm

347
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:47.319
able to find the button. Now. Ecclesiastic excommunications, vermin courts

348
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:58.000
in brackets. Okay, here we go. Courts enrolled insects, rats, locusts,

349
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:23.079
and weavils as defendants in ecclesiastic trials. I mean, it's

350
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.480
all ridiculous, but insects, But then it's no more ridiculous

351
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.400
than the rats or locusts or weavils. I don't know

352
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:41.880
what weavil is h But there's one thing prosecuting an

353
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.119
animal because you know, technically they can just sit there

354
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:51.359
and be accused and just keep quiet. They don't necessarily

355
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:54.640
have to do anything, and it's maybe up to the

356
00:31:54.759 --> 00:32:09.880
lawyer to do a defense, but a defendant has to

357
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:17.920
kind of talk, don't the So how how how how?

358
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:26.759
How ah how?

359
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:33.640
This this is weird. In fifteen eighty seven, weavils again,

360
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:37.240
I don't know what weavil is? Is it like a weasel?

361
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:43.880
I don't know? V shaped weasel in Saint Julian, France

362
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:53.559
were presented by a lawyer argued to have divine protection. Okay,

363
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:57.119
I'm not quite sure what divine protection is, but I'm

364
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:07.519
guessing it's it's quite a good thing to have. Maybe

365
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.680
I mean divine protection. It sounds like something that you'd

366
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:18.200
quite want to have. Isn't it more powerful than a seatbelt? Possibly? Oh?

367
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:29.160
That's that in my eye? And I haven't Oh right,

368
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:33.319
what's next? It's hard to have any commentary on this

369
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:42.839
because the sentences are just ridiculous in themselves. The judge

370
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:52.799
ruled in absentia final verdict lost to time, destroyed by

371
00:33:53.039 --> 00:34:05.079
rats or bucks. Okay, excommunication and athema was used to

372
00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.039
banish pets rather than kill them. That's good. That's nice.

373
00:34:10.280 --> 00:34:19.199
So animals were excommunicated. I mean that's just assuming that

374
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:23.239
the rats and the bugs and the ants and all

375
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.320
that stuff that were in the church were there to

376
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:31.840
pray for the sermon, as opposed to maybe that's where

377
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:39.360
they lived. When you've got to be pretty pretty, pretty

378
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:43.599
proud of yourself, and you'll be pretty pretty popular if

379
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.519
not just the humans turn up at your sermon, but

380
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:53.199
all the animals flock in as well. It's the new Noah.

381
00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:01.440
Maybe courts ordered locusts to depart a region. Kah, I'll

382
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:08.960
do okay. Courts ordered locusts to depart a region by

383
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:16.280
a certain date and time or face excommunication. How what

384
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.440
did they put up signs? They send a letter in

385
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.800
the post, send an email? I mean what what?

386
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:23.880
What?

387
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.920
There was a Facebook group locusts Facebook group, and they

388
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.360
just posted on there. You'll be out of here by

389
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:43.039
this time, otherwise you're going to be excommunicated. M I

390
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:49.039
didn't think that. I didn't think that religions back in

391
00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:56.079
them days believed that insects got to go to heaven anyway,

392
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:06.000
Maybe I'm wrong. In fifteen forty five, public prayers were

393
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:14.239
held to coerce weavils away miraculously the infestation ended. It

394
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.000
just shows you that it works, doesn't it. So stop

395
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.639
mocking it. Stop mocking all these and I'm trying to

396
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:23.920
I'm trying to educate you. Let me.

397
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.000
Educate you.

398
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:33.800
I'm trying to teach you something. Stop mocking some of

399
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:45.880
the greatest factual facts of our history. Legal principles and implications.

400
00:36:48.360 --> 00:37:01.159
Animal trials treated creatures as moral agents, capable of intent. Yeah,

401
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.639
I'll find it animal. I mean animals can be crafty.

402
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:10.360
Vinnie is very crafty. He knows what he wants and

403
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:14.960
he will pretend to do stuff to get there. So

404
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.840
he'll pretend to be eating something off the floor because

405
00:37:18.880 --> 00:37:21.840
he's waiting to see what the dog was coming closer,

406
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:29.159
to see what kind of dog is. He's very very crafty.

407
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:33.119
I actually saw him once and he was like pretending

408
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:36.599
because he didn't want to leave the park. So what

409
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.960
he was doing, I was chucking the ball. This is

410
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.440
when I was able to let him off the lead,

411
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.280
because I was chucking the ball nearer to the exit

412
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:48.480
of the park so that he'd run and get it

413
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:50.039
and then eventually to put him on the lead and

414
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:57.280
will go out. He was grabbing it and instead of

415
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.960
bringing it back to me. He ran right past me

416
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:05.360
and he dropped it further in the park because he

417
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.679
knew I was trying to get him away from the park.

418
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:17.159
I've literally seen him, all right. I've chucked food on

419
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:21.719
the floor for him to try and find. And what

420
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:25.760
he does is once once he found it, he chews

421
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.360
it and he looks up at me for the next one.

422
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:33.159
On this particular occasion, I could see where it went,

423
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.639
but he didn't see where it went, and he couldn't

424
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:42.639
find it. He ran in a completely different direction. He

425
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.880
pretended to eat a tree and then looked at me

426
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:51.360
ready for the next one. He hadn't eaten anything, He

427
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.559
just pretended, and I could see the tree, I could

428
00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:57.920
see the tree on the floor, and I could also

429
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.760
see all the grass was short. I don't know how

430
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.440
he missed it. To be forever, there was nothing there.

431
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:07.159
He was just pretending to eat it because he couldn't

432
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:17.880
be bothered to search for the other one. Devious judges

433
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:28.920
and clergy genuinely applied human justice to animals, not all

434
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:41.800
satire or folklore. Wow. Legal records from France are some

435
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:49.559
of the best preserved. That's nice. Great cases raised foundational questions.

436
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:55.000
If animals can be guilty, must they also have rights?

437
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:06.440
Bar bar bar bar bar. That's a good point. Yeah,

438
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:12.239
if someone must have by the law, then surely they

439
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:20.079
must be part of society, so you'd think they have

440
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:30.800
equal rights to society like everyone else in it. Trials

441
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:40.599
blurred lines between superstition, the ology, and secular law. It's

442
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:52.599
it's the thing is theology, religion, belief systems. A lot

443
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:58.480
of it comes from superstition anyway, So you know, believing

444
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:01.039
in something that you can't prove and believing in it

445
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.599
that's almost kind of isn't that the meaning of superstition?

446
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:17.400
So I don't know, I believe, Yeah, I like to

447
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:23.880
call it stupid stition, So I'm not superstitious. I actually

448
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.119
sat on the bus with someone with someone I was

449
00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.440
on the bus with, like traveling together. I'm not I

450
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.639
mean there was other people on the bus as well.

451
00:41:34.679 --> 00:41:43.360
She saw, what's those birds that steal stuff? Not goldie locks,

452
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:58.800
not hens, sparrows, blackbirds, blue tits, red tits, yellow tits,

453
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.039
big and what's where is it going? What are they called?

454
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:17.880
The ones are not wrens, not falcons, sparrows, those birds

455
00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:21.880
that you suppose anyway, she saw these two birds together,

456
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.239
and she got up and she saluted out of the window.

457
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.400
Who was on a bus and she stood up face

458
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:31.239
towards the window to where these two birds were and

459
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:45.719
she saluted. It's among the most embarrassing moments of my life.

460
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:52.920
I just thought, you know what that is. It became

461
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.400
it became a passion of mine to not have any

462
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:05.639
superstition after that, because it was ridiculous, the idea of

463
00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:11.280
because I used to be a bit superstitious, and mainly

464
00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:15.760
because my life was so rubbish at a time when

465
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:17.320
I was like a kid, when I was you know,

466
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:22.719
when I was like a late teenager at sixteen or whatever,

467
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:24.599
and then people would say, well, don't walk on the

468
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:27.320
cracks on the floor on the ground, the cracks in

469
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.679
the pavement or the concrete, because that's bad luck or whatever.

470
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:32.800
And I thought, well, I don't want any worse luck

471
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.039
than what was happening already, so I would try to

472
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:38.679
avoid it things like that, and I started to kind

473
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:46.400
of buy into someone that crap. And then as I

474
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:52.840
got older, I become more educated and realized that it's

475
00:43:52.920 --> 00:44:00.960
just absolute nonsense, obviously, but also realizing that belief that

476
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.440
stuff can have an effect on people because belief is

477
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:10.280
super powerful, one of the most powerful things that we have.

478
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:19.360
That's why having a lucky object, a lucky token, or

479
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:28.400
lucky souvenir or whatever in itself does nothing, but to

480
00:44:28.519 --> 00:44:32.480
a person's mind can do everything. So if a person

481
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:38.800
really believes that by having that lucky I don't know,

482
00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:43.920
a lucky condom in their pocket, lucky use condom in

483
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.119
their pocket, they might actually or hanging off their ear.

484
00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:54.559
They might it might help them with their university exam,

485
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.320
or it might give them more confidence on a first date,

486
00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:11.800
wearing your wearing your lucky set of underpants, the ones

487
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:17.559
that you've been wearing for thirty five years. Why don't

488
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:21.960
you wash them? Dad? Wash out the luck? The luck's

489
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:28.079
in the dirt with this unlucky How come you never

490
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:31.719
ever get a second date? I don't want to talk

491
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:39.559
about it. So it's weird, though, isn't it. You know,

492
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:43.800
when you've got like a really really you got a

493
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:48.880
lucky thing. I mean by this, what did I have?

494
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.320
This lucky little mouse is a wooden mouse, and I

495
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.920
had it had little tail, it was wooden, and that

496
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.079
was my lucky charm. And I'd go on dates and

497
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.360
I was telling people like my friends, that's my lucky

498
00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.760
chant and I'll take it on all my dates. And

499
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:07.480
they said, well, come, no one wants to see you

500
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:13.280
again afterwards, and I said, I don't know. Well I left.

501
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:15.559
I started leaving at home. It turned out it was

502
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:20.000
my personality nothing. You know. It was because I started

503
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.480
to think it maybe it was bad luck for me,

504
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:23.920
but it wasn't. It was just my personality that was

505
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:30.599
stopping people from want to see me again. I remember

506
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:39.199
waiting to I went to the cinema with someone. I

507
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:44.920
was sixteen at the time. I think maybe seventeen, sixteen ish,

508
00:46:45.159 --> 00:46:49.639
maybe fifteen even sixteen, I think sixteen. I don't remember

509
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:54.519
the girl I went to the cinema with. I asked

510
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:56.960
to go to the cinema and she said yes. For

511
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:02.039
some reason, all I know is yes. I thought she

512
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:07.320
liked me. We sat down to watch the movie. All

513
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.239
I did was put my I put my hand on

514
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.199
a knee. Literally, it was like just gently. I didn't

515
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.039
like plunk it down. And I wasn't wearing a big

516
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:20.559
heavy metal glove or anything like that. A Gordon. It

517
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.599
wasn't anything weird. That just just put my hand on

518
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:32.159
a knee and I guess trying to be romantic even

519
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:35.639
though there's no enjoyment for me putting my hand on

520
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:37.440
a knee that I didn't get anything out of that.

521
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.679
They never have never It's like bone, isn't it? Or

522
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:42.320
did you get how did you get on last night?

523
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.320
Or I felt one of her bones? It was lovely?

524
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:55.280
Oh oh that's notice like oh maybe tomorrow shall blow

525
00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:56.400
blow on me.

526
00:47:56.920 --> 00:48:01.280
I can get to smell her breath just eating some garlic.

527
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.000
Oh that would be good. War No, it's like it

528
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:10.199
was a bone and knees not. I suppose some people

529
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.760
like knees. But it's just a bit of gristle, isn't it.

530
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:20.639
Ultimately it's not it's nothing. I've never looked at a

531
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:27.760
knee and for oh yeah, oh it never never had

532
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:32.920
never happened. Oh oh, I can't concentrate on anything. It's

533
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:37.800
just there's a knee, cover your knee up. I can't concentrate. Yeah.

534
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.480
Well that was the end of my paramedic career. They

535
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:44.880
you know, it's good to find out in training, isn't it.

536
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.719
I had had a thing for knees. No, no, I don't.

537
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:55.880
I just like I didn't know how to act by it.

538
00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:58.840
Back then, I didn't know what to do. I didn't

539
00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:02.559
know what the correct way to be on a first

540
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.440
date was. I was a teenager and there was no

541
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:13.000
There was no training for that stuff, no training whatsoever.

542
00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:17.400
And this guesswork. I guess it still is. I mean

543
00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.800
I haven't had a date for.

544
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:28.000
Long time, long, long, long time, so long that I

545
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:32.000
cannot remember the last time I went on a date.

546
00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:36.639
Yes I can the last time I went on a

547
00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:46.519
date where it actually went somewhere? Is it does a date?

548
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:48.400
It doesn't have to mean going somewhere, does it?

549
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:49.119
So?

550
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.079
I had a friend come around here once and that

551
00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:56.599
wasn't really a date. Was it someone that I kind

552
00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:59.159
of knew a bit. I did have a date with

553
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.440
someone that spent all week talking to her on the phone.

554
00:50:03.119 --> 00:50:07.320
And she's someone that I'd known for a while, and

555
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.840
she was talking about having babies and we were talking

556
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:13.679
about building a life together, which is kind of weird.

557
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:17.239
I don't know if it felt like things are going

558
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:20.199
quite well. And then I go around to see her

559
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:24.000
on Sunday and it was almost like it was a

560
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:28.400
different person. It was like there was nothing there, There

561
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:33.199
was no like she wasn't human. It's weird. Not in

562
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:36.639
a bad way. There's no good way to say that is,

563
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:41.800
but it seemed like she was like there was nothing

564
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:53.320
there inside. She looked the same, but a little bit like, oh,

565
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:57.159
body snatches, remember the body Snatches movies. It was a

566
00:50:57.159 --> 00:50:59.760
little bit like that. That's what she looked like. Like

567
00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:06.880
she just what strange because I spent the afternoon with

568
00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:13.880
our and she gave me soup. Soup that was my dinner.

569
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.800
Soup a growing lad of forty. You don't give a

570
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.880
grown lad of forty one or forty two wherever I

571
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:25.119
was soup. Don't give someone who's fifty nine soup. That's

572
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:31.920
not a dinner. It's a drink. It I mean, it's

573
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:35.320
a starter for a reason, isn't it. Although I prefer

574
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:38.960
I wouldn't have soup as a starter. If I was

575
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:44.960
going to have a starter, it'd be I don't know

576
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:48.360
what choices arees make me hungry? Now I really do

577
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:56.960
need to have a meal one day, Oh I what

578
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:03.239
would be a good starter. I took Uncle's sausages my

579
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:09.159
tomato catch up yesterday, and now I've got no tomato

580
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:21.679
catch up. Damn him, damn it. Yes, And it was

581
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:23.719
at one point, and I'm just sitting there with her

582
00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:28.400
inner flat, this this lady that I was. I thought

583
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:35.039
there was something going on between us, and it was

584
00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:39.159
flat that like the energy was like no energy there.

585
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:47.199
There was a bit of energy, but not from her side,

586
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:49.760
and I didn't know what to do. It was just

587
00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:58.159
really weird. There was yeah, in the end of just left. Well,

588
00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:59.960
I had to leave eventually, didn't I ever was a

589
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:09.719
couldn't make this podcast fifteen years later. It's very strange.

590
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:13.239
But anyway, I touched, you know, I was when I

591
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.719
was I was a kid myself. I touched this the

592
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:20.880
knee of the person I was in the cinema with.

593
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:28.239
She picked my hand up and dropped it back on

594
00:53:28.320 --> 00:53:36.559
my lap, hurt my hand. That's when I realized, first

595
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:42.960
of all, well either one or two really well, first

596
00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:46.280
of all, we were never going to get married, me

597
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:53.920
and that lady. Secondly, the girl who went to the

598
00:53:53.960 --> 00:53:57.480
cinema with was sitting on the other side of me,

599
00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:01.840
and I touched a me. No, I just it just

600
00:54:02.039 --> 00:54:06.079
didn't work. It's just just like wow, to the point

601
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:10.239
that I've kind of almost erased who she was. I

602
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.239
don't know who she was. I can't remember such a

603
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:22.199
long time ago. What was I talking about? I have

604
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:27.079
really bad dates. I don't know why. It wasn't a

605
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:31.159
bad date, it was just like a non date. Another

606
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:34.079
one I've gone. This is a thing I had this

607
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.960
when I worked in a co op. I had a

608
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.840
female walk into the shop and I was behind the counter,

609
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:46.599
so I was in there every day, well, five six

610
00:54:46.679 --> 00:54:51.119
days a week or whatever. She walked in, handed me

611
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:59.320
a note, looked me in the eyes, and then walked out.

612
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:04.760
She knew my name, so I guess I had a

613
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.480
name badge on and stuff. So I read it, and

614
00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:11.840
she said how lovely I was, and she really fancied me.

615
00:55:12.599 --> 00:55:14.719
Bearing in mind she would seeing me during the day,

616
00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:17.119
so it's not like she was seeing me at night

617
00:55:17.159 --> 00:55:20.719
when the lighting was good and it made me look human.

618
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:28.400
She saw me during the daytime and it was all romantic.

619
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:31.320
I really like you, and I see you every day

620
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:34.199
and I'd love to sort of get together. And she

621
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:38.280
wrote down a telephone number, anna address, and her name,

622
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:47.119
so I called her up. So I thought, anyone that

623
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.119
does that deserves I thought I'd see her because I

624
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:58.000
deserved to be rejected in person. No, anyone that goes

625
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:02.039
to that effort deserves not to be ignored, because that's

626
00:56:02.199 --> 00:56:04.760
that's a that's a be old thing to do, isn't it,

627
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.000
to like go to that effort and to walk up

628
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:13.039
to someone like that? So I phouned her up in

629
00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:20.800
the morning the next day, I think it was Saturday morning.

630
00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:25.519
So I did it wrong. Well, I didn't do it wrong.

631
00:56:25.519 --> 00:56:31.719
I did didn't try and use my needs to dull

632
00:56:31.800 --> 00:56:34.679
the phone. I did. I phoned everything that normal. And

633
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:38.199
that's when we used to have those turney phones, you know,

634
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:48.159
a spiral things. I used to like them. And she

635
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.320
invited me around, so I went round. She was in

636
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:55.280
the middle of getting ready for probably work actually, so

637
00:56:55.400 --> 00:56:57.159
she was getting ready to go to I think she

638
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:05.239
probably had a retail job herself in town, and she

639
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:12.039
was doing her hair and I just it was like

640
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:15.639
there was nothing to talk about. It was the wrong

641
00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:19.519
scenario for us to get to know each other while

642
00:57:19.559 --> 00:57:26.199
she was drying her hair and I was just sitting

643
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:35.440
there on the edge of her bed. Honestly, it was

644
00:57:35.800 --> 00:57:41.119
so awkward there. In the end, I just said see her,

645
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.639
and she said bye, and I never saw her again.

646
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:47.199
She never came back in the supermarket. I never saw

647
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:53.079
her again there was. It could have been a lovely marriage.

648
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:54.880
We could have had kids and everything. You know, it

649
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:57.920
could have been, could have, could have, would have you know,

650
00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:07.840
But there was some reason I just you know, I mean,

651
00:58:07.880 --> 00:58:10.320
basically the ball was in my court, wasn't it almost

652
00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:16.199
like this was? It was really I was in a

653
00:58:16.199 --> 00:58:20.519
good position. She told me she liked me, she'd write

654
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:24.519
a letter to me. So all I had to do

655
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:31.239
really is just be there, just turn up. But not

656
00:58:31.280 --> 00:58:35.119
when she's getting ready, not you know, that's just a

657
00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:38.440
weird time to be going around someone's house, especially when

658
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.559
I had to get to work, and also going around

659
00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:45.000
her house. But it wasn't a good idea, you know.

660
00:58:45.119 --> 00:58:48.920
I mean, she invited me, but it would have been

661
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.400
unless I just turned up. No, I did know she

662
00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:57.440
invited me. You know, it would have gone out and

663
00:58:57.480 --> 00:59:02.519
got to know each other. It might have been well,

664
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:08.079
it couldn't have been worse than what it was. And

665
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:14.119
then there was another woman, another lady. I asked her out.

666
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:18.480
She worked in an a state agent, No, in her

667
00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:22.519
travel agency. I asked her out in front of all

668
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:30.239
her friends, her colleagues. I don't know where I've got

669
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:32.320
the confidence to do that, but I did. I did it.

670
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:35.679
I'd met before a couple of nights before because she

671
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:38.119
broke down in a car and me and my friend

672
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:41.000
came to a rescue. So my friend was driving, I

673
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:44.199
was a passenger and we got talking to her and

674
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.239
she said where she worked, and I just popped in

675
00:59:46.280 --> 00:59:48.679
and say hello, and I asked her out on a

676
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:54.480
date and she said yes. So instead of saying brilliant, okay,

677
00:59:55.599 --> 01:00:05.519
what's your number and then leaving, which is what I

678
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:08.880
should have done, I should have just left. No, that's

679
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:11.320
not what I did. I settled in for the afternoon

680
01:00:13.639 --> 01:00:19.519
and I didn't stop talking for probably two hours, talking

681
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:24.760
to the other members of staff, being silly, being very

682
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:28.599
childish because I was very childish. Hard to believe I

683
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:36.960
was ever childish. Yeah, I think maybe it isn't. After

684
01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:40.320
about three hours she said to me, I'll change my

685
01:00:40.400 --> 01:00:44.760
mind because I was just going to go to the cinema.

686
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:49.800
I thought it was it changed her mind. I said,

687
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:52.400
did you hear about the knee incident? She said what?

688
01:00:52.719 --> 01:00:57.400
I said, nothing? Nothing, nothing, and she said no, and

689
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:05.079
that was it done. Not good. So basically I did

690
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:09.840
what is known in the sales world as over selling.

691
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:18.079
So in sales. I've read so many sales books so

692
01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:21.199
many years. Not anymore, but you know, back in the

693
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:26.639
nineties and two thousands, and there's a thing that when

694
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:33.039
you get to sell, that's your job done. Get the

695
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:40.679
sale process to sell, stop trying to sell. You don't

696
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.000
need to sell anything. You don't need to sell. I mean,

697
01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:45.679
you can still be positive about it and like, you know,

698
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:53.519
but you don't need to sell once you're sold. And

699
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.039
if you keep going on and on and on and on,

700
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.599
potentially the person will just get fed up and change

701
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:09.360
their mind. And this is what happened in this situation. Admittedly,

702
01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:14.199
the dancing didn't help, and the bagpipes I don't think

703
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:16.760
they helped. I mean, you could say why did I

704
01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:21.360
have bagpipes on me? But I'm saying, you know, I

705
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:26.159
always have this silent idea that this mentality of being prepared.

706
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:32.599
You never know when you're going to need bagpipes or

707
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:39.039
skis or a water pistol. You don't know what's going

708
01:02:39.119 --> 01:02:45.519
to be useful in any given situation. As it turned out,

709
01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:48.920
none of those things were useful in this particular situation,

710
01:02:50.239 --> 01:02:54.440
and haven't been particularly useful in any situation involving asking

711
01:02:54.480 --> 01:03:00.920
someone out for a date, although I haven't asked anyone

712
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:10.920
out for a dates since yeah, fifteen years really pretty much,

713
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:14.800
not really, yeah, because I've met a couple of people

714
01:03:14.840 --> 01:03:18.679
who just kind of progressed from there, but I've never

715
01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:22.440
gone up to someone. There was someone I did ask

716
01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:27.760
out and she said, no, this is ironic. So there

717
01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:31.880
was someone I really I really felt I liked in

718
01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:35.679
the Buddhist Center and we got them really well, and

719
01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:38.519
I felt a real connection with her, so I asked

720
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:42.119
her out. Basically she said, oh, I've got a boyfriend.

721
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.679
I said, oh, you'll bring him and all if you like.

722
01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.880
She laughed. I think if people think I'm joking sometimes.

723
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.960
And that was it. Then I met someone else that

724
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:57.000
I liked in the Buddhist Center. Then I didn't see

725
01:03:57.039 --> 01:04:01.079
her for ages, and then she turned up again, and

726
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:03.239
that's the one that I went and had soup with,

727
01:04:05.039 --> 01:04:07.519
So I saw her that night. But then the other

728
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:10.719
one turned up the same night. Hadn't seen either of

729
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:17.559
them for months and months and months, so I'd already

730
01:04:17.559 --> 01:04:23.000
got like reconnected with the other one, the one that

731
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:29.079
ended up giving me soup, and the one that was

732
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:33.800
she had a body snatched invasion of the body snatches

733
01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:36.960
that one. So this other one, the one that I

734
01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:40.760
had really liked before. She actually said, Oh, we should

735
01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:42.960
go out sometime. I'll give him a number before we go.

736
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:47.159
Before we finished the evening, I said, okay, cool. I

737
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.639
just ignored it because I thought, well, not, I've got

738
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:54.400
a date. Now, you had your chance, I thought to

739
01:04:54.440 --> 01:05:07.880
myself arrogantly. And I never saw either of them again. Wow,

740
01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:13.280
I actually did see I did see the soup lady,

741
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:17.360
and I called a soup lady she gave me. Yeah,

742
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:22.480
she was in the town walking. She had like a

743
01:05:22.519 --> 01:05:28.880
suitcase with wheels or something. It's very awkward. It's like

744
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:36.000
we almost banged into each other, all right. She started

745
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.360
telling me where she was going, Like why why are

746
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:41.920
you telling me that. I didn't say that, but I

747
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:49.960
kind of thought it was like, okay, oh, why see her?

748
01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:53.280
And it was just like I haven't seen her since

749
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:59.199
it's been fifteen over fifteen years. Why am I still

750
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:03.679
thinking about people like that? I don't know, as you

751
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:06.760
do know, because the chance I might see her again, saying,

752
01:06:08.119 --> 01:06:10.559
depending on if she still works where she used to work.

753
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.559
But it's only because I'm perhaps going to have to

754
01:06:14.559 --> 01:06:19.079
go there this or I don't think she'd even remember

755
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:24.639
me anyway. To be honest with you, I might not

756
01:06:24.719 --> 01:06:31.960
remember her. Then there was this other girl when I

757
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:33.880
was in the co op. I mentioned this before, but

758
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:38.639
another situation. I don't know. I don't know if it's

759
01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:43.679
because I've got such a different Maybe I have a

760
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:46.880
different personality when I'm on a date to what I

761
01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:51.519
have when I'm just myself. I work all day with

762
01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:55.559
this girl. She lived in a different town. I was seventeen.

763
01:06:55.840 --> 01:07:00.360
She was probably the same age, maybe sixteen. She was

764
01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:03.440
full time working in the co oper. She worked in

765
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:07.039
a different town. She came just because we were short staffed,

766
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:13.000
so I think the Yeah, I think the member of staff.

767
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:14.920
The reason she came in because the member of staff

768
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:21.119
that was there got sacked for stealing. She got called

769
01:07:21.159 --> 01:07:25.159
by the undercover police. She was the manager, so she

770
01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:28.800
got sacked. So they needed someone else to come in

771
01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:32.480
and just look after the tills and stuff. And there

772
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:40.559
was two tools, was a free tills. I can't remember. Anyway,

773
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:45.599
me and her gone really well, really well, and she

774
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:52.400
was perfect for me in so many ways, Like she

775
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:58.159
was funny, she laughed at my silly jokes, fancied her

776
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:01.719
and I'm sure she was beside with me. Why wouldn't

777
01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:06.440
she be, And she was sitting quite close to me,

778
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:09.320
so my smell didn't put her off. So that's you know,

779
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:15.280
it's a lot of bonuses there. And I didn't, I

780
01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:18.600
didn't hold in any parts. Still let them go. So

781
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:27.000
and we arranged to see each other. Gave me an address,

782
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:32.199
a telephone number, and planned for me to go around

783
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:35.239
hers the next day. So this is on a Saturday,

784
01:08:37.560 --> 01:08:43.199
and I went around hers on a Sunday. In fact,

785
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:46.800
we might have been spent two days together Friday and Saturday.

786
01:08:47.079 --> 01:08:50.720
Like it at work, we can't sell what we were

787
01:08:50.880 --> 01:08:54.319
laughing all day long, honestly had a really good time.

788
01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.439
So I go around her. Else The idea is to

789
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:01.479
go out somewhere. I mean, I was limited, bearing in

790
01:09:01.560 --> 01:09:04.159
mind that couldn't well, I didn't have much money. But

791
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:08.760
it wasn't just that I didn't I couldn't go into

792
01:09:08.800 --> 01:09:15.399
pubs and get served because I looked about fifteen, maybe fourteen,

793
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:20.520
even I looked much younger than I was, and so

794
01:09:20.600 --> 01:09:23.119
probably would have been just like walking around the streets.

795
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:27.119
That probably would have been the date. Maybe a restaurant,

796
01:09:27.239 --> 01:09:33.720
you know, an Indian restaurant or Chinese restaurant or something potentially.

797
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:38.640
But it was a Sunday afternoon now back in nineteen

798
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:42.640
eighty seven, was it. No, it's early nineteen eighty eight,

799
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:49.960
about April or May, May, June time May. On a

800
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:57.680
Sunday afternoon, nothing was open like you'd struggle to get anything.

801
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:02.520
The pubs had a Sunday times, so they'd be open

802
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:06.600
for a couple of hours at lunchtime and then'd open

803
01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:10.399
again in the evening for a few hours. There was

804
01:10:10.479 --> 01:10:15.479
no all day drinking like there is now ever, not

805
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:22.920
even during the week. You could only buy things like

806
01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:29.079
alcohol and cigarettes and stuff during certain times of the day.

807
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.520
I know it's weird, but that's how it used to

808
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:36.039
be on a Sunday. The only shops that really opened,

809
01:10:36.479 --> 01:10:40.319
No supermarkets did. The only shops that opened back then

810
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:43.199
where I lived Anyway, I'm sure it's different in London,

811
01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:50.840
but where I lived at the time, it was the

812
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:54.800
news agents would open in the morning to sell the

813
01:10:54.840 --> 01:11:02.479
newspapers Sunday newspapers, and maybe there might be a couple

814
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:07.359
of like you might get some tourists. Stuff is open

815
01:11:07.720 --> 01:11:11.520
on the seafront, so cafes and stuff. They'd be allowed

816
01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.359
to be open on the Sunday because it's touristy, isn't it.

817
01:11:14.840 --> 01:11:18.720
And the casque not casinos, but like the arcades and

818
01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:22.800
the pier and those kinds of things. They'd be open

819
01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.720
on a Sunday during the day, but that would be it.

820
01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:32.159
The ice cream hut would be open during the summer

821
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:38.560
on a Sunday, but then nothing else, nothing would be open.

822
01:11:39.119 --> 01:11:41.920
So I went to this town, the next town up

823
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:47.920
from where I lived, got a taxi there, and or

824
01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:49.880
maybe I've got a training I've got a taxi to

825
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:56.119
a house from the train, possibly, but there was nothing

826
01:11:56.159 --> 01:11:59.319
to do. But we didn't even get that far because

827
01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:02.039
I was thinking, maybe go to the cinema in the evening,

828
01:12:03.239 --> 01:12:05.479
because the cinemas were open in the evening. I'm pretty

829
01:12:05.479 --> 01:12:10.920
sure on a Sunday I think they were, but I

830
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:14.039
might be wrong. I don't know. Anyway, I went to

831
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:20.520
her house, knocked on the door, went in, and I

832
01:12:20.800 --> 01:12:25.079
genuinely had no expectations of anything nice happening. I just

833
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:27.159
wanted to spend some time with her because I liked her,

834
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.560
and we had such a good time at work, laughing

835
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:34.720
all day, you know, That's what it was. Just to

836
01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:42.560
have some fun and because I enjoyed her company. So

837
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:46.960
I get there and she's not alone. She's got a

838
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.960
friend with her, which is maybe she wanted to have

839
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:54.840
someone there with her, you know, maybe for whatever reasons,

840
01:12:54.840 --> 01:13:03.439
which is fair enough. But this friend was awful because

841
01:13:03.439 --> 01:13:07.560
all she did was flirt with me. Now and I

842
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:12.239
said the word awful. In any other situation, I would

843
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.560
not have bothered by that. The fact that she was

844
01:13:15.600 --> 01:13:22.880
flirting with me and she was pop clocking as they

845
01:13:22.920 --> 01:13:28.239
say me. She really got in the way and she

846
01:13:28.319 --> 01:13:31.239
started sitting on my lap. And because I didn't know

847
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:33.119
what to do in that situation, I didn't want to

848
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:36.239
sort of be horrible to her. I didn't want to

849
01:13:36.279 --> 01:13:40.680
be verbally rude. I didn't want to physically push her off.

850
01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:44.840
So I did kind of push her off. But it

851
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:50.239
was it was kind of a weird one, isn't it.

852
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:52.720
Just Well, at the time, I just didn't know what

853
01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:57.439
to do. But the girl that I was visiting, it

854
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:02.159
was her house. She was very very annoyed with me,

855
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:11.159
not with her friend, but with me, And in the

856
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:14.079
end I just left, got a taxi home and that

857
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:21.279
was the last time I saw her. I'd handle that

858
01:14:21.319 --> 01:14:24.439
situation much differently now. I wouldn't go around her house now,

859
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:27.119
and she hasn't seen me for forty years, so she

860
01:14:27.159 --> 01:14:30.079
probably wouldn't remember me, probably doesn't even live there anymore.

861
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.920
But no, I wouldn't unless I knew someone. I wouldn't

862
01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:36.840
probably go around the house unless I knew.

863
01:14:36.680 --> 01:14:45.960
Them well or Yeah, but I think technically go around

864
01:14:45.960 --> 01:14:48.720
someone's house on the first date, maybe it's not a

865
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:49.279
good idea.

866
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:52.960
Maybe I mean I'm talking to like I'm going to

867
01:14:53.000 --> 01:14:56.600
have another first date. I don't know. Maybe it's possible.

868
01:14:56.840 --> 01:15:04.159
Maybe I don't know. But her friend really got in

869
01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:09.079
the way, and I didn't understand why. It's not like

870
01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:12.520
I left and her friend was running after me. J

871
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:18.199
j JJ, don't leave me. You know. It wasn't like

872
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:21.199
she was sew into me that she followed me all

873
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:26.640
the way home. The friend I'm talking about, she was

874
01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:29.760
just doing it to wind her friend up to the

875
01:15:30.319 --> 01:15:35.359
girl that I was visiting. And the girl I was

876
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:42.439
visiting I really liked, arguably the one I liked the

877
01:15:42.479 --> 01:15:50.560
most during that period, because I liked her physically, but

878
01:15:50.920 --> 01:15:54.640
she was funny and we had a good time. It

879
01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:59.720
was like but being almost like being attracted to a friend,

880
01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:05.840
which hasn't really happened in my life, not really, not much,

881
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:18.359
well occasionally, but that's enough about Dean and I, yeah,

882
01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:27.920
that was annoying because she's just because for me, I was,

883
01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:32.720
you know, it was very shy around females that I liked,

884
01:16:34.479 --> 01:16:36.880
and for some reason she made it very easy for

885
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:46.880
me to just beat myself so I could just be silly.

886
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:50.000
But I guess we were both different because she was

887
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:52.960
at home, she was in a different environment. I was

888
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:55.039
well out of my comfort zone because I was in

889
01:16:55.079 --> 01:17:06.439
someone else's house and from town. I remember saying to me,

890
01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:13.520
she said, what's all this got to do with animals

891
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:17.359
being on trial? I said, what do you mean? She said, well,

892
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:20.399
you're supposed to be talked about animals being on trial.

893
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:24.279
You only got up to number twenty two on the

894
01:17:24.319 --> 01:17:27.239
list of one hundred, and you started talking about girlfriends

895
01:17:27.239 --> 01:17:30.920
and next girlfriends that didn't end up being girlfriends, which

896
01:17:31.079 --> 01:17:36.039
basically has got nothing to do with animals being on trial.

897
01:17:37.520 --> 01:17:41.560
How did you manage to move from one subject to

898
01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:48.439
another without even noticing you've done it? And I answered, well,

899
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:54.239
the fact that I'm mentioning it means that I have

900
01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:58.439
noticed doesn't it? And she said, no, I mentioned that

901
01:17:58.479 --> 01:18:01.000
you didn't mention it. I said, yeah, but anything that

902
01:18:01.039 --> 01:18:04.399
you mentioned is me mentioning it, isn't it, Because it's me,

903
01:18:04.840 --> 01:18:11.840
I'm the one doing talking. She said, oh, suppose I said, no,

904
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:23.079
supose about it? It's true, and she got sulky.

905
01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:19.239
And.

906
01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:25.279
Now tell me, is this a weird thing?

907
01:18:25.359 --> 01:18:25.520
Right?

908
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:29.720
You know? This soup lady? Of course, this is soup.

909
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:38.159
When she we we were going to go to the cinema, well,

910
01:18:38.239 --> 01:18:41.079
that was kind of the plan. So I had some soup,

911
01:18:41.920 --> 01:18:45.439
bit of bread. I don't know where she found the bread,

912
01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:50.439
and I think it was one of those I think

913
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:53.960
the problem with her is she was healthy, she had

914
01:18:53.960 --> 01:18:58.319
a healthy lifestyle, and she had this probably gluten free,

915
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:07.720
healthy bread and really healthy soup. And I probably didn't

916
01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:14.039
appreciate that at the time because there wasn't, to be fair,

917
01:19:14.199 --> 01:19:17.119
there wasn't much blood circulating in my brain at the time,

918
01:19:17.720 --> 01:19:21.840
so I wasn't really thinking straight. So we had the

919
01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:26.479
soup and then we went to the cinema. The cinema

920
01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:33.840
was closed. Yeah, there was something going on with the cinema.

921
01:19:33.880 --> 01:19:36.119
If it was closed for the day or the next

922
01:19:36.159 --> 01:19:39.000
movie wasn't for three hours. So we just like left

923
01:19:40.279 --> 01:19:43.760
and she said, oh, I got to get myself a plug.

924
01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:48.800
And I thought, all things are looking up, and I said,

925
01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:51.199
I ask a few questions. She said, no, not that

926
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:56.119
kind of plug. It's like electric plug for the lamp.

927
01:19:56.720 --> 01:19:59.199
I said, oh, okay. She said, I can't believe you

928
01:19:59.239 --> 01:20:01.600
just asked me that. I said, well, I didn't know,

929
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:06.399
and she I think things might have gone downhill from there.

930
01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:09.760
I'm not sure I might not be the right questions

931
01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:14.840
to ask her. And Sid when he was on a

932
01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:20.079
bus as well. So we go down this hill. We

933
01:20:20.119 --> 01:20:25.640
walked to the electric shop and we decide we're going

934
01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:29.800
to go and get a film from Blockbusters as well.

935
01:20:29.840 --> 01:20:34.039
That's when Blockbusters were still alive, and we got the

936
01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:38.600
Karate Kids still haven't watched it. This is the new version,

937
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:43.319
well not the newest version, but it was the one

938
01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:50.880
with Will Slappy Smith, his son Jayden I think, and

939
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:56.560
Jackie Chan. So we watched some of it anyway. We

940
01:20:56.640 --> 01:21:01.720
got the video then, well the DVD rather. Then we

941
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:08.399
went into this electrical shop next door, which was I

942
01:21:08.399 --> 01:21:12.600
can't remember the name of it, but Maplins, I think Maplins.

943
01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:15.640
So she went in there to look for a plug,

944
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:17.119
and I thought I was boring. I'm not going to

945
01:21:17.159 --> 01:21:21.000
bother with looking for a plug, especially if it's just

946
01:21:21.039 --> 01:21:26.000
a plug, an electrical one. So I thought I was

947
01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:28.199
just gonna have to wander around. I see, you see it,

948
01:21:28.279 --> 01:21:31.159
you know? She said? Okay. I went to look at

949
01:21:31.199 --> 01:21:34.279
the microphones, just to see what they got in there.

950
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:37.039
It's occasionally I used to get stuff from there to

951
01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:43.600
try and improve the quality of the recordings. I don't

952
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:46.279
know what it's funny. I never seem to manage to

953
01:21:46.319 --> 01:21:51.600
do very well with the quality, but it's better now anyway.

954
01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:58.840
So I get a phone call. My phone rings, so

955
01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:08.760
I answer the phone and says, where are you? And

956
01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:11.479
that's the first thing I heard. So to me, where

957
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:16.319
I am? I'm here, I said, who is this? He said,

958
01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:25.760
it's soup lady. I can't remember her name. I said, okay.

959
01:22:26.239 --> 01:22:30.279
She said where are you? I said, I'm here. I'm walking

960
01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:37.279
up the hill. She said what, And I realized I'd

961
01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:39.640
left the shop without I'd forgot I was with her.

962
01:22:40.520 --> 01:22:46.079
So I'd looked at the microwave microphones. Nothing there. I

963
01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:50.359
just walked out the shop and started walking home, completely

964
01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:52.479
forgot I was with her. And she was the other

965
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:55.840
side of the shop looking for plugs and probably queued

966
01:22:55.920 --> 01:22:58.880
up to pay for it. And then she finishes and

967
01:22:58.920 --> 01:23:02.119
she's looking for me. So ten minutes later, she's like,

968
01:23:02.399 --> 01:23:11.319
where's the bloke that I came in here with. That

969
01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:17.479
didn't seem to help the romance, so I said, well,

970
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:19.880
drawing me to wait here, she said, can you come

971
01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:22.720
back down? I said no, I just wait here, just

972
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:27.640
catch me up. And that possibly didn't help with a

973
01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:32.279
romantic situation either. Mind you, I was a little bit

974
01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:35.800
put off because earlier in the evening the afternoon, we

975
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:40.920
were walking through the park heading our way towards the

976
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:47.920
Blockbusters and I kind of held her hand. I didn't

977
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:50.039
kind of I did hold her hand because I thought

978
01:23:50.079 --> 01:23:58.359
at that point we were not married. But I thought maybe,

979
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:02.800
you know, because of all the conversations and previously during

980
01:24:02.840 --> 01:24:05.000
the week building up to this and talking about having

981
01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:10.000
babies together and getting married and you know, stuff like

982
01:24:10.039 --> 01:24:13.760
that every night for the whole week leading up to

983
01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:20.079
the Sunday, included the previous Saturday evening, just like fifteen

984
01:24:20.119 --> 01:24:22.760
hours ago, we were being all soppy on the phone,

985
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:29.520
and I know she slopped me up. She served me

986
01:24:29.600 --> 01:24:35.560
some sloppy soup and a bit of bread, which I

987
01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:39.800
don't know where that came from. And I was like, okay,

988
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.600
maybe that's what she eats. And as I said, she

989
01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:49.279
was healthy, so that was probably something that she would

990
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:55.600
have for food class. That's food. No sausages, no cakes,

991
01:24:56.439 --> 01:24:59.560
no chocolate. I don't know what's wrong with her, but hey,

992
01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:06.960
everyone's different than me, so I'm thinking, well, she's still

993
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:17.479
We still decided to go and you know, go and

994
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:18.039
do her.

995
01:25:18.560 --> 01:25:19.279
What did we do?

996
01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:30.439
Do We walk through the park? Walk through the park. Yeah, yeah,

997
01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:35.000
after that, so yeah, so after the soup fiasco, we

998
01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:38.840
walked through the park and I just went to hold

999
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:45.920
her hand. I kind of thought that she would know

1000
01:25:46.880 --> 01:25:50.520
and we would kind of maybe accidentally touch each other

1001
01:25:50.680 --> 01:25:57.239
hands and that spark with ignite a love affair that

1002
01:25:57.399 --> 01:26:02.039
lasted forever, you know, just something simple like that. There

1003
01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:06.359
was no spark. All there was was annoyance from her.

1004
01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:10.119
So I kind of held her hand and she, I mean,

1005
01:26:10.119 --> 01:26:14.680
she didn't like to say get off me. You know,

1006
01:26:14.800 --> 01:26:16.880
she wasn't vomiting in a bush or anything, but it

1007
01:26:16.960 --> 01:26:24.840
was just very much like that. Okay, I mean again,

1008
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:27.680
I just want to express that there was a lot

1009
01:26:27.680 --> 01:26:32.880
of romance leading up to this moment. I thought, So

1010
01:26:32.920 --> 01:26:36.000
it wasn't like I was. I didn't. I hadn't just

1011
01:26:36.119 --> 01:26:39.239
met her. I've known her for a long time, well,

1012
01:26:39.800 --> 01:26:44.279
probably a year maybe, and hadn't seen her for quite

1013
01:26:44.319 --> 01:26:46.840
a few months. But we've been speaking on the phone

1014
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:49.640
for a couple of weeks leading up to this. I'm

1015
01:26:49.640 --> 01:26:55.279
extending now to two weeks rather than one week. And

1016
01:26:57.680 --> 01:27:01.680
I thought she loved me, so I thought maybe put

1017
01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:07.279
my hand out to hold her hand, and she pushed

1018
01:27:07.359 --> 01:27:10.199
me away. I mean, she didn't push me in the pond,

1019
01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:14.720
but she did like have a distance, and she said

1020
01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:21.560
she didn't like doing stuff like that in public. Yeah. Ironically,

1021
01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:23.279
when we were back at her place, when we came

1022
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:27.279
back and we were watching the Karai Kid, she touched

1023
01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:33.880
my ear and I didn't push her away. I thought

1024
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:39.399
it was very strange. I thought, of all the places

1025
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:41.359
that you could touch my ear, isn't the one that

1026
01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:43.319
I would choose, would not be at the top of

1027
01:27:43.319 --> 01:27:46.640
the list. But I didn't push her away. I didn't

1028
01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:51.399
go get off my ear. Oh, not in public or

1029
01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:56.000
private or anywhere. Ooh, it's my ear. Ooh. No, I

1030
01:27:56.000 --> 01:28:01.920
didn't do that. At least, I don't think I did that,

1031
01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:07.279
mind you, If I did do that, that would explain

1032
01:28:07.880 --> 01:28:11.239
why she didn't want to see me again. No, I

1033
01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:19.840
didn't do that, but I realized there was nothing there.

1034
01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:23.800
It was like there was she's playing with my ear,

1035
01:28:25.560 --> 01:28:30.720
and I thought, I'm not a toy, you know. I mean, first,

1036
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:32.359
I'm not toy to play with, and I'm not a

1037
01:28:32.560 --> 01:28:35.560
toy that you can just switch on and off, just

1038
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:43.439
you know, just and then I left. I went home,

1039
01:28:43.479 --> 01:28:46.079
and the next day I bought some gifts and left

1040
01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:49.720
it outside her house. That wasn't a good idea because

1041
01:28:49.760 --> 01:28:53.239
then she sent me a text saying go away. Well

1042
01:28:53.279 --> 01:29:03.720
maybe not those words, but so even at four, even

1043
01:29:03.760 --> 01:29:10.560
at forty, yeah, I was forty. At this point, I

1044
01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:15.920
did not have the first idea how to deal with relationships.

1045
01:29:18.680 --> 01:29:30.479
Now I'm fifty, nearly fifty five. In five weeks, i'll

1046
01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:47.119
be fifty five, finished snoring and weird, like, okay, I

1047
01:29:47.159 --> 01:29:50.159
still don't really know. I wouldn't know what to do

1048
01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:58.720
now on a date now, I wouldn't even know. I'm

1049
01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:02.000
not have been out with people over the years, but

1050
01:30:05.039 --> 01:30:09.840
not anyone that was like, I've not met anyone who's like, wow,

1051
01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:12.840
I really want to be with this person and asked

1052
01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:16.399
them out and they said yes, and being all nervous

1053
01:30:16.439 --> 01:30:18.960
about a date and gone out and it's gone really well.

1054
01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:25.960
In fact, I think, I think arguably I can say

1055
01:30:26.039 --> 01:30:35.800
that's never happened. Yeah, I've never I've never never been

1056
01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:40.680
on a date with someone that I really was I've

1057
01:30:40.800 --> 01:30:43.960
dated people that I got on with and went on

1058
01:30:44.079 --> 01:30:50.319
dates with them, but I never never had that. I've

1059
01:30:50.359 --> 01:30:53.880
never asked anyone out really that I really liked, or

1060
01:30:53.880 --> 01:30:56.279
maybe a couple of times, not that I didn't like

1061
01:30:56.319 --> 01:31:04.319
the people I was dating, but yeah, sort of going

1062
01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:06.239
on a first date with someone that I didn't know

1063
01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:12.520
anything about, but I was absolutely besotted in love with

1064
01:31:12.560 --> 01:31:21.960
a person. And I've never done that. No, you know,

1065
01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:25.199
I've got to like people a bit more over time.

1066
01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:35.840
I think that's and they do. Yeah hm hmm. So

1067
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:40.600
if I had my time over again, I've been thinking

1068
01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:44.680
about stuff like that lately. It's like, Okay, what would

1069
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:57.279
I do different? And I think back to there's so

1070
01:31:57.359 --> 01:32:02.479
many things. My stomach needs to eat some food and

1071
01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:07.000
that does not include soup. If I put soup in

1072
01:32:07.039 --> 01:32:12.039
my belly, now, my belly would go. No, no, Bernie,

1073
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:23.039
No soup not allowed. Yeah, I wouldn't know. I suppose.

1074
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:27.520
One thing is I would never have stopped the karate

1075
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:33.760
when I was fifteen sixteen, You know, I'd have continued.

1076
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:35.840
I wouldn't have worked in a chip shop as my

1077
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:47.199
first job. Very croaky. Today, I should get a drink.

1078
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:58.479
Oh so smooth and silky again. Oh, just a little

1079
01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:02.800
bit of lubrication and I got my normal voice back again.

1080
01:33:04.039 --> 01:33:14.520
Oh sorry, So yeah, I come what I was talking about.

1081
01:33:14.560 --> 01:33:17.479
But I do need to eat something, so I'm gonna go.

1082
01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:22.239
I'm gonna go. And I realized I haven't really done

1083
01:33:22.399 --> 01:33:31.319
all of the the what's it names? What is it?

1084
01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:34.119
What am I doing? Q? And A Thursday? I've not

1085
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:35.760
done all of them, but I might go through some

1086
01:33:35.840 --> 01:33:39.439
of them again and have a time if I can

1087
01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:49.039
find some weird ones. Okay, let's let's have a look.

1088
01:33:49.880 --> 01:34:00.600
No no, I Apparently one lawyer refused to refuse to

1089
01:34:00.640 --> 01:34:06.399
take on a case for a rooster. Refused to represent

1090
01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:09.840
a rooster. I think I've heard roosters are a bit

1091
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:33.319
of a pain. Judicial transcripts detail animals behavior as evidence. Wow, okay,

1092
01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:38.880
Princess of Wales plaque now removed to London for brown

1093
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:45.359
dog statue. That better not be true. That better not true.

1094
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:53.239
You've replaced a plaque for Princess Diana for a picture

1095
01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:57.800
or a statue of a dog, a brown dog. No,

1096
01:34:58.079 --> 01:35:05.479
I don't know nothing about this, but that sounds how wrong?

1097
01:35:06.760 --> 01:35:24.399
Sounds wrong? M Wow, my stomach gurden. It's just time

1098
01:35:24.439 --> 01:35:29.039
to eat something to go. Thank you for listeners to

1099
01:35:31.960 --> 01:35:39.119
my super exciting discourse on humanities and such and such.

1100
01:35:40.079 --> 01:35:44.119
So thank you for listening. Remember remember to be kind

1101
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:47.840
to yourself, because you do deserve to be happy and

1102
01:35:47.880 --> 01:35:55.079
be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots

1103
01:35:55.079 --> 01:36:18.640
of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and meaningful way,

1104
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:26.199
Maybe in a way that can not just allow you

1105
01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:36.720
to feel calmer now and throughout the time we spend

1106
01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:44.720
together here, not just relaxed at the end of the

1107
01:36:44.800 --> 01:36:50.159
recording when it's finished and you can enjoy that sense

1108
01:36:50.279 --> 01:37:06.880
of comfort and peace, but also I think it would

1109
01:37:06.960 --> 01:37:22.840
be nice to have those feelings of relaxation continue for

1110
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:34.880
longer after the recording has ended, so that you can

1111
01:37:36.560 --> 01:37:47.199
still benefit from listening to my voice, maybe in a

1112
01:37:47.239 --> 01:37:59.720
few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly

1113
01:38:02.800 --> 01:38:07.439
especially if you find like some people do and myself

1114
01:38:07.479 --> 01:38:12.640
as well, sometimes I find one particular recording that really

1115
01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:21.279
resonates with me, and I just listen to it over

1116
01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:34.039
and over again every morning, every evening. There was this

1117
01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:41.039
recording from We're going back to about nineteen ninety nine.

1118
01:38:41.319 --> 01:38:46.880
It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations. It

1119
01:38:46.960 --> 01:38:48.800
kind of was hypnosis, really.

1120
01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:51.479
And.

1121
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:56.479
I managed to find it again and it still has

1122
01:38:56.520 --> 01:39:02.119
the same effect on me. And part of it was

1123
01:39:05.760 --> 01:39:18.960
the person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful, and

1124
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:25.880
I'd look forward to listening to her in the morning

1125
01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:37.399
and in the evening, and I knew before even pressing

1126
01:39:37.520 --> 01:39:44.119
the play button that as soon as I've done that

1127
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:48.479
pressed the play button. This was in the days of

1128
01:39:53.600 --> 01:40:02.760
CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it might

1129
01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:07.239
have even been a tape recorder. I'd lie down on

1130
01:40:07.279 --> 01:40:20.119
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

1131
01:40:20.279 --> 01:40:33.239
words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as

1132
01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:43.960
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

1133
01:40:44.119 --> 01:41:06.159
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

1134
01:41:06.279 --> 01:41:20.319
my mind would slow down. Now Now I was listening

1135
01:41:20.359 --> 01:41:27.119
to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

1136
01:41:29.680 --> 01:41:37.520
and long before I ever made any videos or audio

1137
01:41:37.560 --> 01:41:42.359
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two

1138
01:41:42.359 --> 01:42:01.680
thousand and six, I knew. I knew how helpful I

1139
01:42:01.760 --> 01:42:12.199
found being able to just let go, to have that

1140
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:25.039
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

1141
01:42:25.119 --> 01:42:33.439
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.

1142
01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:43.079
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

1143
01:42:49.439 --> 01:43:02.880
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,

1144
01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:08.920
maybe not solidly, obviously, not twenty four hours a day,

1145
01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:26.119
but maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

1146
01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:34.880
That's something that I do which you may not realize

1147
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:55.880
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

1148
01:44:00.439 --> 01:44:12.640
I also am affected by the words that I say.

1149
01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:22.800
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

1150
01:44:22.920 --> 01:44:30.119
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1151
01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:52.439
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1152
01:44:52.560 --> 01:44:59.800
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference. But

1153
01:45:00.159 --> 01:45:10.520
in each hand, perhaps notice the air in the room,

1154
01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:15.880
the temperature of the room. On the backs of your hands.

1155
01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:27.560
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1156
01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:35.760
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1157
01:45:36.159 --> 01:45:41.079
type of breeze at all where you are right now,

1158
01:45:49.279 --> 01:45:59.840
and as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1159
01:46:00.159 --> 01:46:13.680
are aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now

1160
01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:34.199
and when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep,

1161
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:47.840
which may be the reason you're listening, I also feel

1162
01:46:48.000 --> 01:47:00.279
drowsy when I make these recordings. I also notice is

1163
01:47:02.159 --> 01:47:18.279
my mind drifting. In fact, at times I've actually fallen

1164
01:47:18.319 --> 01:47:32.520
asleep without even noticing, and then I carry on talking.

1165
01:47:38.560 --> 01:47:44.159
And it's only where I listen back to do the editing.

1166
01:47:47.920 --> 01:47:54.039
I hear snoring, and I think I don't remember snoring.

1167
01:47:57.319 --> 01:48:04.079
I remember talking. There's the snaw enemies a pick turned up.

1168
01:48:08.119 --> 01:48:15.520
That's why I sound like when I snow. How I

1169
01:48:15.600 --> 01:48:29.039
get really into a whole experience. I don't know how

1170
01:48:29.199 --> 01:48:38.439
you feel. How relaxed do you feel in your feet,

1171
01:48:41.560 --> 01:49:04.439
how relaxed you feel in your hands. I have noticed

1172
01:49:07.079 --> 01:49:23.279
more and more that the more relaxed, deeper level of

1173
01:49:23.520 --> 01:49:40.800
comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes. It's almost

1174
01:49:41.159 --> 01:50:02.000
like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you debreath

1175
01:50:02.439 --> 01:50:28.319
easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However, being able

1176
01:50:28.439 --> 01:50:57.680
to notice the ease in which you breathe so naturally,

1177
01:51:12.399 --> 01:51:47.680
You breathe so very easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine

1178
01:51:55.039 --> 01:52:11.119
my breathing improving, when I've got my eyes closed, I

1179
01:52:11.399 --> 01:52:24.800
tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and flowers

1180
01:52:31.640 --> 01:53:04.640
producing all that life giving oxygen. And it feels nice too,

1181
01:53:06.239 --> 01:53:25.159
if nothing else, just taking some time away from everything,

1182
01:53:36.479 --> 01:54:09.000
enjoying that feeling of peace serenity with a joyful heart.

1183
01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:59.600
Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1184
01:55:05.760 --> 01:55:44.920
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1185
01:55:45.079 --> 01:56:49.439
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind has slowed down.

1186
01:56:57.760 --> 01:57:44.439
Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1187
01:57:44.720 --> 01:58:00.840
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to drip

1188
01:58:01.600 --> 01:58:21.399
out of your body, dripping out of every part of

1189
01:58:21.560 --> 01:58:46.079
your body and being released from your brain. Lee your

1190
01:58:46.239 --> 01:59:21.560
mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your legs.

1191
01:59:36.760 --> 01:59:57.560
Relax ress.

1192
01:59:54.600 --> 02:00:32.600
So very deep, thing racks so deeply, and the feelings,

1193
02:00:35.199 --> 02:01:00.000
the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders deepening, eating

1194
02:01:00.039 --> 02:01:23.239
each part of your body further and deeper and deeper,

1195
02:01:37.920 --> 02:02:07.560
noticin the feelings in the back of your neck, the

1196
02:02:07.760 --> 02:02:46.880
feelings in your wrists, muscles, in front of your body,

1197
02:02:57.279 --> 02:03:40.760
I will say, feeling peaceful, deeping. There's a sense of

1198
02:03:41.079 --> 02:04:25.479
pace spreads through your very core. Even when you focus

1199
02:04:25.680 --> 02:05:25.119
on your mind. Her mind becomes a and slower, deep relaxing,

1200
02:05:48.920 --> 02:06:26.800
so very slow, his stomach PA's fell in your stomach,

1201
02:06:48.960 --> 02:07:23.039
held back. Notice, Notice how relaxed you now feel in

1202
02:07:23.199 --> 02:07:24.960
the hole of your back.

1203
02:07:50.119 --> 02:07:51.239
In a spy.

1204
02:07:55.079 --> 02:07:59.640
From your brain all the way down in the middle

1205
02:07:59.680 --> 02:08:11.520
of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day,

1206
02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:40.920
deep coomfort increasing deeply relaxed.

1207
02:09:10.239 --> 02:09:37.840
Your knees, relax.

1208
02:09:41.119 --> 02:09:51.039
Spreading those signals down your spine or cord into every

1209
02:09:51.359 --> 02:10:10.079
part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles.

1210
02:10:37.319 --> 02:11:06.000
The outbursts feelings of peace and tranquil let spreading through

1211
02:11:06.199 --> 02:11:23.520
your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes, your fingers,

02:11:27.880 --> 02:12:13.880
all the way till you'll lower back, lettinger reatinker place

1213
02:12:29.600 --> 02:12:30.399

1214
02:12:37.800 --> 02:12:38.159
Mind.

1215
02:12:42.640 --> 02:13:06.239
There's wandering away, happy to let go that God completely

1216
02:13:08.720 --> 02:14:31.880
like her, So tranquil o body enjoying a sensor listing

02:16:35.079 --> 02:19:01.959
peace and safety, say letting God, Maybe we can just

1219
02:19:04.879 --> 02:19:13.680
focus on the different parts of your body, just to

1220
02:19:14.000 --> 02:20:42.799
notice your forehead and your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing

1221
02:20:42.840 --> 02:22:15.399
in the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, dress day, peace,

1222
02:22:15.760 --> 02:22:59.079
for energy, pace to breathe so much easy.

1223
02:23:40.879 --> 02:23:47.000
Yes, you.

1224
02:24:02.680 --> 02:24:03.360
May have.

1225
02:24:06.920 --> 02:25:06.840
Or may not have noticed your mind drifting peaceful move

1226
02:25:07.319 --> 02:25:27.799
an even more deeply in the direction of total blissful pace,

1227
02:25:32.040 --> 02:27:35.799
blissphul pace, terrest total pace. He sure come, letting go

1228
02:28:00.760 --> 02:29:11.680
peace of mind, reaxed body c rex c reaxed. Her

1229
02:29:11.879 --> 02:29:44.799
body feels almost invisible, so very relaxed and peaceful. So

1230
02:29:52.559 --> 02:30:17.000
pace from right, let go.

1231
02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:34.159
So so.

1232
02:30:41.319 --> 02:30:58.040
Faver and you could start to notice that you are

1233
02:30:58.280 --> 02:31:09.760
feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your

1234
02:31:09.959 --> 02:31:18.360
mind upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing

1235
02:31:18.520 --> 02:31:27.360
within you throughout your body, and your mind starts to

1236
02:31:27.479 --> 02:31:37.479
slow down, And that could be almost in recognition of

1237
02:31:39.799 --> 02:31:51.879
I guess my speech not being particularly fast, and things

1238
02:31:52.280 --> 02:32:02.319
just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice,

1239
02:32:05.440 --> 02:32:12.360
you give yourself an opportunity to take a break from

1240
02:32:12.440 --> 02:32:18.920
the day, take a break from your life as it is,

1241
02:32:22.360 --> 02:32:29.959
and to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to

1242
02:32:30.120 --> 02:32:35.319
take some time off and to allow your body to

1243
02:32:35.479 --> 02:32:45.200
relax and allow your mind to slow down, which in

1244
02:32:45.360 --> 02:32:53.239
turn releases the tension any stresses that you had in

1245
02:32:53.319 --> 02:33:03.479
your body, almost as if the parts of your body

1246
02:33:03.639 --> 02:33:15.280
just open up, allowing the negativity out and at the

1247
02:33:15.399 --> 02:33:26.799
same time replacing that negativity with positive healing energy, which

1248
02:33:26.920 --> 02:33:33.200
then fills your body up and your mind to also

1249
02:33:35.920 --> 02:33:51.680
starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost

1250
02:33:52.360 --> 02:34:08.600
uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads through your

1251
02:34:08.680 --> 02:34:19.879
body like a wave of comfort. And all this comes

1252
02:34:19.959 --> 02:34:32.000
from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour,

1253
02:34:32.520 --> 02:34:37.239
however long you want it to be, to just rest

1254
02:34:42.639 --> 02:34:51.440
and allow your mind and your body to almost reset

1255
02:34:52.200 --> 02:35:10.799
itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which

1256
02:35:10.920 --> 02:35:24.040
allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to

1257
02:35:24.319 --> 02:35:33.760
move around your body and into your mind, almost as

1258
02:35:33.799 --> 02:35:42.920
if your mind and your body are sinking together, almost

1259
02:35:43.280 --> 02:35:57.280
mirroring each other, with that growing positivity and calmness. And

1260
02:35:57.399 --> 02:36:05.000
it feels nice, really does feel nice to know that

1261
02:36:05.319 --> 02:36:14.440
you are the one that has allowed yourself to feel

1262
02:36:14.920 --> 02:36:23.120
more comfort than to experience.

1263
02:36:24.879 --> 02:36:26.040
More of this.

1264
02:36:27.799 --> 02:36:42.959
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body and As I focus

1265
02:36:44.559 --> 02:36:50.280
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1266
02:36:50.520 --> 02:37:04.879
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on

1267
02:37:05.000 --> 02:37:17.239
it becomes even more calm and comfortable, just by focusing.

1268
02:37:21.280 --> 02:37:27.040
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1269
02:37:29.760 --> 02:37:35.040
the parts that you have already focused on will continue

1270
02:37:36.399 --> 02:37:43.479
to relax deeply, and those parts that have not yet

1271
02:37:43.719 --> 02:37:56.559
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1272
02:37:56.760 --> 02:38:11.000
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1273
02:38:11.000 --> 02:38:17.479
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1274
02:38:17.639 --> 02:38:26.280
aware of the feelings of your forehead and any background

1275
02:38:26.520 --> 02:38:33.639
sounds like mister Herbert Opigeon can just allow you to

1276
02:38:33.840 --> 02:38:41.040
feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1277
02:38:44.200 --> 02:38:49.559
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1278
02:38:53.000 --> 02:38:59.040
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1279
02:38:59.520 --> 02:39:10.040
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1280
02:39:10.319 --> 02:39:18.079
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1281
02:39:20.399 --> 02:39:24.879
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1282
02:39:30.079 --> 02:39:38.360
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1283
02:39:40.840 --> 02:39:50.520
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1284
02:39:50.559 --> 02:39:57.040
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1285
02:39:57.280 --> 02:40:11.719
relaxing completely, moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1286
02:40:12.159 --> 02:40:22.040
your tongue, your teeth, You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing,

1287
02:40:25.520 --> 02:40:35.799
calm and lease. As you focus now on your jaw,

1288
02:40:38.840 --> 02:40:42.399
not just the parts of your jaw near your mouth,

1289
02:40:43.360 --> 02:40:47.639
your chin, but all the way up the size of

1290
02:40:47.719 --> 02:40:54.399
your face to your ears, the hole of your jaw,

1291
02:40:57.040 --> 02:41:24.159
feeling more relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the

1292
02:41:24.280 --> 02:41:31.799
front of your neck and your throat relaxing and loose

1293
02:41:32.520 --> 02:41:42.120
and calm. The sides of your neck, the right and

1294
02:41:42.360 --> 02:41:54.959
left side of your neck relax and lace and calm,

1295
02:42:01.360 --> 02:42:07.799
and now the back of your neck. Focus in on

1296
02:42:08.000 --> 02:42:17.879
the back of your neck, letting go of any tension

1297
02:42:18.680 --> 02:42:27.399
that may have been there before, and enjoying that sense

1298
02:42:27.760 --> 02:42:39.280
of increasing comfort and release that you can experience in

1299
02:42:39.399 --> 02:42:51.280
the back of your neck. Moving down your back and

1300
02:42:51.479 --> 02:42:56.319
moving either side of your spine right from the top

1301
02:42:56.399 --> 02:42:57.239
of your back.

1302
02:42:59.000 --> 02:43:00.040
All the way.

1303
02:43:00.280 --> 02:43:12.920
Down to the bottom of your back, down to your

1304
02:43:13.000 --> 02:43:13.600
lower back.

1305
02:43:18.879 --> 02:43:20.799
As you move up and down.

1306
02:43:22.840 --> 02:43:29.360
Your spine, you can feel the muscles either side of

1307
02:43:29.479 --> 02:43:44.040
your spine relaxing even more, and as those muscles relax,

1308
02:43:46.200 --> 02:43:54.040
that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards from your

1309
02:43:54.200 --> 02:44:03.719
spine into both sides of your back, the top of

1310
02:44:03.799 --> 02:44:10.760
your back, the middle, and your lower back. And as

1311
02:44:10.799 --> 02:44:18.239
you scan gently and slowly up and down your back,

1312
02:44:20.639 --> 02:44:24.959
there's the muscles in the top of your back relax

1313
02:44:25.559 --> 02:44:33.159
and become looser. The muscles in the middle of your

1314
02:44:33.239 --> 02:44:40.680
back also seem to just almost divide from each other,

1315
02:44:41.639 --> 02:44:58.280
separating and almost melting, and in your lower back seems

1316
02:44:58.319 --> 02:45:10.639
to be an extra special thing, feeling of comfort. The

1317
02:45:11.000 --> 02:45:17.280
spreads into your hips, sit down your lower back, into

1318
02:45:17.360 --> 02:45:28.639
your hips, into the area where your cosicks are, and

1319
02:45:28.799 --> 02:45:35.319
into your buttocks, and all these muscles that spread.

1320
02:45:37.520 --> 02:45:38.760
Bring your lower back.

1321
02:45:41.040 --> 02:45:53.280
Into your hip area start to melt, start to really

1322
02:45:54.479 --> 02:46:05.360
let go, and even know where about to focus on

1323
02:46:05.479 --> 02:46:14.520
your shoulders. Your back and your spine will continue to

1324
02:46:14.799 --> 02:46:33.040
let go, continue to relax so calmly, and as you

1325
02:46:33.239 --> 02:46:41.440
focus on your shoulders, you may notice they're already feeling

1326
02:46:44.760 --> 02:47:14.719
really loose, They're already feeding calm and fear. Those muscles

1327
02:47:17.520 --> 02:47:29.479
then move from your neck into your shoulders. Feel so

1328
02:47:29.879 --> 02:47:58.879
soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeling

1329
02:47:59.040 --> 02:48:11.920
in your shoulder seems to spread deep into your shoulders.

1330
02:48:13.959 --> 02:48:23.200
A sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1331
02:48:26.680 --> 02:48:39.559
but also relaxing the bones and moving all the way

1332
02:48:39.840 --> 02:48:48.520
to underneath your arms, relaxing the whole area between the

1333
02:48:48.680 --> 02:49:03.239
tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing. You

1334
02:49:03.360 --> 02:49:17.760
feel so relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that's.

1335
02:49:19.520 --> 02:49:21.440
Deep healing.

1336
02:49:24.520 --> 02:49:39.520
Message into your arms. You may feel.

1337
02:49:41.079 --> 02:49:46.079
Almost as if your arms are not even there, because

1338
02:49:46.200 --> 02:49:51.920
they're so relaxed, so.

1339
02:49:53.440 --> 02:50:38.920
Deeply relaxed, so so calm, so this the fields spreading

1340
02:50:41.760 --> 02:50:55.440
all the way down your arms to elbows, including your

1341
02:50:55.559 --> 02:51:22.479
elbows circumfort spreads or way into rests, your forearments, un

1342
02:51:22.559 --> 02:51:45.920
your wrists so heavy, yet at the same time sunlight

1343
02:51:49.159 --> 02:52:16.319
and gentle fully sat.

1344
02:52:18.479 --> 02:52:19.479
Now on.

1345
02:52:22.159 --> 02:52:46.159
Your hands, my hands.

1346
02:52:52.079 --> 02:52:57.319
So peaceful in your hands.

1347
02:53:15.600 --> 02:53:16.719
With a sense of.

1348
02:53:20.239 --> 02:53:43.280
Real pace. Just seems to feel so familiar.

1349
02:53:46.079 --> 02:55:24.959
When your hands relax deeply. Else things thin's you think

1350
02:55:25.079 --> 02:55:26.159
it taps.

1351
02:55:54.360 --> 02:56:25.360
Making attention to affront your body, sure counsel many new

1352
02:56:25.559 --> 02:58:15.079
focus legs like mussels and your fires and names so relaxed,

1353
02:58:42.319 --> 02:58:51.479
the cough muscles just shins. How crazy I.

1354
03:00:51.079 --> 03:00:51.280
See?

1355
03:00:51.440 --> 03:01:50.360

To spread your chest story.

1359
03:02:45.079 --> 03:02:55.399
So relax, let's me go.

1360
03:02:59.479 --> 03:03:16.840
Everything. So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty

1361
03:03:17.239 --> 03:03:25.360
down to one. You can imagine in a way it's

1362
03:03:25.559 --> 03:03:31.719
like just walking down some steps and each step or

1363
03:03:31.879 --> 03:03:37.840
twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort.

1364
03:03:41.319 --> 03:03:56.719
Each step represents a deepening of that comfort, and the

1365
03:03:56.920 --> 03:04:04.319
furvies you walk down those steps, the deeper, more relaxed feel.

1366
03:04:11.040 --> 03:05:59.639
So starting with number twenty twenty nineteen, eighteen, seventeen.

1367
03:06:45.159 --> 03:07:25.040
Sixteenhhhhhh w secus.

1368
03:08:01.000 --> 03:10:52.360
Fixtreen four fur s too well.

1369
03:11:00.280 --> 03:12:18.600
Shut us.

1370
03:12:41.799 --> 03:12:47.159
In the community the US US.

1371
03:14:07.680 --> 03:15:04.079
No shhhhhhhh.

1372
03:15:10.319 --> 03:18:15.680
Eight s six D.

1373
03:19:03.120 --> 03:20:33.079
Five four.

1374
03:20:47.760 --> 03:24:01.079
Using one.

1375
03:24:55.719 --> 03:25:08.360
As you focus on your eyes, We're gonna count down

1376
03:25:08.760 --> 03:25:19.920
from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

1377
03:25:23.680 --> 03:25:32.159
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

1378
03:25:33.680 --> 03:25:50.719
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

1379
03:25:50.799 --> 03:25:59.120
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus

1380
03:25:59.280 --> 03:26:14.319
in on your eyes, you become twice is relaxed with

1381
03:26:14.719 --> 03:26:23.440
each number counting down that you may find.

1382
03:26:27.280 --> 03:26:29.840
The all you want to do is just.

1383
03:26:31.840 --> 03:26:39.000
Drift off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

1384
03:26:42.040 --> 03:26:55.000
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

1385
03:26:55.159 --> 03:27:02.479
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down from ten

1386
03:27:02.879 --> 03:28:18.600
down to one right now, ten nine eight.

1387
03:29:03.959 --> 03:31:15.920
Seven f.

1388
03:32:26.920 --> 03:36:31.159
Four three us one. So count down from ten to

1389
03:36:31.319 --> 03:36:57.879
one ten nine eight seven six five four three two one.

1390
03:37:04.879 --> 03:37:07.760
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

1391
03:37:07.840 --> 03:37:11.760
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

1392
03:37:12.079 --> 03:37:21.799
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

1393
03:37:21.840 --> 03:37:25.680
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

1394
03:37:25.760 --> 03:37:28.440
ten to one. Would you expect me to do man,

1395
03:37:29.360 --> 03:37:32.840
expect me to just to go with floppy just because

1396
03:37:32.879 --> 03:37:33.920
you're counting down.

1397
03:37:39.520 --> 03:37:42.799
You could try it again, but this time I'll go

1398
03:37:42.879 --> 03:37:43.959
a bit slower.

1399
03:37:45.840 --> 03:37:50.680
This time, and you focus on the whole of your

1400
03:37:50.760 --> 03:37:59.079
body before we focus on your legs. Just notice how

1401
03:37:59.200 --> 03:38:13.280
your body does start to feel more relaxed with every

1402
03:38:13.440 --> 03:38:46.479
number that I count down ten nine, eight seven, six,

1403
03:38:54.920 --> 03:39:13.879
five four three.

1404
03:39:48.239 --> 03:39:48.479
One.

1405
03:40:00.159 --> 03:40:06.319
Just notice how how you feel, generally, how your body feels.

1406
03:40:12.959 --> 03:40:21.239
It's not necessarily even about counting down from ten to one.

1407
03:40:24.239 --> 03:40:32.280
It's that space that you have, that space between.

1408
03:40:37.399 --> 03:40:42.040
Being active.

1409
03:40:44.000 --> 03:40:54.520
Physically or mentally, just sitting or lying down just being there.

1410
03:40:55.079 --> 03:41:01.440
Not doing anything, not saying anything, or needing think about anything.

1411
03:41:03.280 --> 03:41:06.959
So it opens up a space, you know, a bit

1412
03:41:07.000 --> 03:41:17.760
of a space, a gap. And the more I came

1413
03:41:17.879 --> 03:41:22.440
down from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes.

1414
03:41:25.479 --> 03:41:37.959
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's

1415
03:41:38.000 --> 03:41:51.639
a nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts

1416
03:41:51.719 --> 03:42:04.520
physically or emotionally moves away. Allows you.

1417
03:42:07.239 --> 03:42:07.760
To just.

1418
03:42:10.760 --> 03:42:17.079
Slow down, someone to count a game from ten down

1419
03:42:17.120 --> 03:42:27.120
to one and notice that gap widening, the gap. And

1420
03:42:27.239 --> 03:42:31.680
as it widens, it's almost like that the stress and

1421
03:42:31.799 --> 03:42:49.399
attention falls into the gap and gives you that distance,

1422
03:42:51.399 --> 03:43:55.680
that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four.

1423
03:44:13.799 --> 03:44:14.079
Three.

1424
03:45:00.840 --> 03:45:05.319
Now, how does your body feel.

1425
03:45:07.200 --> 03:45:07.399
Now?

1426
03:45:20.079 --> 03:45:32.040
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer? Are you

1427
03:45:32.319 --> 03:46:00.760
feeling more relaxed? As we now focus on your legs,

1428
03:46:02.440 --> 03:46:22.879
just your legs. You're just gonna start with focusing on

1429
03:46:23.360 --> 03:46:42.520
your thighs. Of course, it's not the most exciting thing

1430
03:46:42.639 --> 03:46:49.200
to be doing, because I'm sure like most of your

1431
03:46:49.239 --> 03:47:00.920
body is not a lot going on right now. Just

1432
03:47:01.120 --> 03:47:07.239
focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops of

1433
03:47:07.319 --> 03:47:13.399
your thighs, the sides of your thighs, the bottoms of

1434
03:47:13.479 --> 03:47:20.440
your thighs, your outer thighs, and your inner thighs, basically

1435
03:47:20.639 --> 03:47:24.479
the whole of your thigh that leads into your hip.

1436
03:47:28.319 --> 03:47:31.079
And it goes down to your.

1437
03:47:33.000 --> 03:47:44.840
Knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's a

1438
03:47:45.000 --> 03:47:51.799
very heavy area. It's very strong, probably the strongest muscles

1439
03:47:51.879 --> 03:47:54.159
in your body or in your thighs.

1440
03:48:04.319 --> 03:48:05.200
But I don't think we.

1441
03:48:06.959 --> 03:48:19.920
Perhaps give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't

1442
03:48:21.520 --> 03:48:42.000
acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives, how

1443
03:48:42.120 --> 03:48:51.280
much they actually do for us all through our lives.

1444
03:48:58.440 --> 03:49:04.280
And it may seem sound really weird, but I think

1445
03:49:04.360 --> 03:49:11.360
that all of our body parts, especially our thighs, needs

1446
03:49:11.479 --> 03:49:25.920
some TLC, a bit of love shown, a bit of acknowledgement,

1447
03:49:28.639 --> 03:49:44.319
thank you, gratitude for our thighs do for us. And

1448
03:49:44.440 --> 03:49:50.319
I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe you think,

1449
03:49:50.760 --> 03:49:54.120
why am I surely should be out in the garden

1450
03:49:54.319 --> 03:50:02.559
hugging a tree or something. Well, it's hard to set

1451
03:50:02.559 --> 03:50:05.760
a microphone up on a tree. That's why I'm doing

1452
03:50:05.799 --> 03:50:08.440
this indoors. Otherwise I wouldn't be outside in a tree.

1453
03:50:09.840 --> 03:50:11.600
I can't see the television.

1454
03:50:11.120 --> 03:50:11.600
From the tree.

1455
03:50:18.280 --> 03:50:22.559
If you move down to your knees gain such an

1456
03:50:22.639 --> 03:50:23.799
important part.

1457
03:50:28.120 --> 03:50:29.719
And I think we don't.

1458
03:50:29.639 --> 03:50:37.479
Necessarily I'll speak for myself here, I don't necessarily appreciate

1459
03:50:39.280 --> 03:50:44.159
all that my needs to do for me until I

1460
03:50:44.319 --> 03:50:47.680
have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if I

1461
03:50:47.719 --> 03:50:53.399
ever maybe i'll bash it, or it's aching for some reason.

1462
03:50:55.120 --> 03:51:01.319
It's then that I realize how much it does. You know,

1463
03:51:01.440 --> 03:51:07.360
the benefit of being able to use my legs without

1464
03:51:09.120 --> 03:51:12.000
any kind of physical discomfort.

1465
03:51:12.879 --> 03:51:14.799
Is a beautiful thing.

1466
03:51:16.159 --> 03:51:23.760
That's possibly not appreciated toil it's temporarily removed. You know,

1467
03:51:23.920 --> 03:51:33.399
that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees, regardless

1468
03:51:33.440 --> 03:51:39.000
of how your knees feel, you can have that sense

1469
03:51:39.079 --> 03:51:45.000
of gratitude and love to your knees for all that

1470
03:51:45.120 --> 03:51:57.399
they do for you, and you can still have that

1471
03:51:57.520 --> 03:52:02.440
attention on your thighs. Maybe notice how your thighs feel.

1472
03:52:04.600 --> 03:52:22.559
Maybe you noticed that they are relaxing more deeply as

1473
03:52:22.600 --> 03:52:28.000
you focus now on the bottoms of your lex your shins,

1474
03:52:28.879 --> 03:52:35.360
and your calf muscles, the bones between your knees and

1475
03:52:35.479 --> 03:52:43.079
your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles so important.

1476
03:52:48.559 --> 03:52:52.280
You know anyone that's had even there like the slightest

1477
03:52:52.719 --> 03:52:58.760
sprain of an ankle knows how how much we take

1478
03:53:00.120 --> 03:53:08.920
our ankles for granted, And it's kind of strange in

1479
03:53:09.000 --> 03:53:14.159
a way when you think that. You know, logically, our

1480
03:53:14.239 --> 03:53:17.680
wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of our arms,

1481
03:53:18.840 --> 03:53:22.319
which is okay, it doesn't you can't see any problem

1482
03:53:22.360 --> 03:53:27.239
with that because we're just picking stuff up by our

1483
03:53:27.360 --> 03:53:33.159
ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs.

1484
03:53:39.600 --> 03:53:44.000
And from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't

1485
03:53:44.040 --> 03:53:44.680
really make.

1486
03:53:44.680 --> 03:53:47.639
Sense that all this weight.

1487
03:53:49.079 --> 03:53:56.040
Would ultimately be resting on your ankles then leading to

1488
03:53:56.120 --> 03:54:09.319
your feet, that thin area, thin bone. Yeah, it does

1489
03:54:09.520 --> 03:54:16.319
so much great work. Supports us, supports our body for

1490
03:54:16.399 --> 03:54:26.719
a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps.

1491
03:54:26.520 --> 03:54:26.799
You to.

1492
03:54:30.760 --> 03:54:40.000
Get around and be mobile. And there's the calf muscles.

1493
03:54:40.040 --> 03:54:47.680
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

1494
03:54:47.760 --> 03:54:52.799
point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

1495
03:54:53.920 --> 03:54:57.479
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

1496
03:54:57.559 --> 03:55:00.879
get some work. So that's not true.

1497
03:55:01.000 --> 03:55:05.559
The calf muscles are being used whenever we use our legs,

1498
03:55:11.159 --> 03:55:12.559
and your shins.

1499
03:55:15.319 --> 03:55:24.319
There to protect your lower legs. Shaped in a way

1500
03:55:26.159 --> 03:55:38.280
almost as a protector for the bone, leading of course

1501
03:55:38.360 --> 03:55:48.520
to your ankles and your feet. But we're not going

1502
03:55:48.600 --> 03:55:50.719
to focus on your feet. We're just going to focus

1503
03:55:50.799 --> 03:55:56.959
on the legs. And I realize, and now that I've

1504
03:55:57.079 --> 03:56:01.760
mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway, So

1505
03:56:01.920 --> 03:56:03.000
maybe I should.

1506
03:56:02.760 --> 03:56:08.719
Focus on your feet a little bit. You can have

1507
03:56:08.920 --> 03:56:14.079
them in your awareness the same as you have your

1508
03:56:14.239 --> 03:56:18.440
thighs in your awareness. Even though we haven't been focusing

1509
03:56:19.159 --> 03:56:24.120
on your thighs a few minutes, let me focusing on

1510
03:56:24.239 --> 03:56:25.559
your ankles.

1511
03:56:31.280 --> 03:56:46.479
There's still that sensation of comfort in your thighs, and

1512
03:56:46.559 --> 03:56:48.239
there's that movement.

1513
03:56:49.440 --> 03:56:50.479
Of energy.

1514
03:56:52.239 --> 03:56:59.239
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

1515
03:56:59.319 --> 03:57:04.079
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

1516
03:57:04.319 --> 03:57:17.639
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

1517
03:57:17.719 --> 03:57:23.040
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

1518
03:57:23.840 --> 03:57:35.399
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

1519
03:57:41.959 --> 03:57:49.479
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

1520
03:57:49.520 --> 03:57:54.319
the blood, vessels, the ar trees to all this stuff

1521
03:57:54.879 --> 03:58:03.719
inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice if

1522
03:58:03.719 --> 03:58:08.559
you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs and

1523
03:58:08.639 --> 03:58:14.440
a message. So you can message on the outside, of course,

1524
03:58:15.280 --> 03:58:17.559
but to be able to get deep into the muscles

1525
03:58:18.479 --> 03:58:22.399
and to be able to just message inside your thighs,

1526
03:58:23.280 --> 03:58:26.319
message in the bones of your leg.

1527
03:58:28.280 --> 03:58:28.959
Massage in.

1528
03:58:31.559 --> 03:58:42.079
All the veins and just gently healing your thighs and

1529
03:58:42.239 --> 03:58:48.799
you can move down message and inside your knees, just

1530
03:58:49.000 --> 03:58:55.680
message in those bones, but with healing fingertips, spreading that

1531
03:58:56.120 --> 03:58:59.680
healing energy deep into the choice.

1532
03:59:00.799 --> 03:59:09.959
Your knees. Of course, there's the back of your your

1533
03:59:10.079 --> 03:59:10.559
need and.

1534
03:59:10.639 --> 03:59:16.639
The inside crease where your need is. It's a very

1535
03:59:16.840 --> 03:59:22.719
sensitive area. Very it feels very nice when you stroke it.

1536
03:59:24.120 --> 03:59:27.479
That might be because it's an area that's not really

1537
03:59:27.680 --> 03:59:35.200
touched very often. It's almost like a hidden part, that crease.

1538
03:59:36.920 --> 03:59:41.440
In your legs. It's almost like a part that.

1539
03:59:43.200 --> 03:59:54.479
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

1540
03:59:54.520 --> 04:00:05.000
it's protected by your legs. So you can imagine putting

1541
04:00:05.920 --> 04:00:15.719
your fingers into that crease in your legs, fold in

1542
04:00:15.840 --> 04:00:19.799
between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

1543
04:00:21.000 --> 04:00:27.200
Imagine your fingertips going inside message in the muscle or

1544
04:00:27.280 --> 04:00:36.639
tissue you can cause field the bones of your knees,

1545
04:00:38.159 --> 04:00:48.600
heading through your fingertips and then as you go down

1546
04:00:51.479 --> 04:00:54.239
to your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like

1547
04:00:54.360 --> 04:00:59.040
to be able to really put my fingertips deep inside

1548
04:01:00.079 --> 04:01:08.760
half muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,

1549
04:01:10.360 --> 04:01:20.280
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

1550
04:01:23.440 --> 04:01:31.639
massage in generally stroking the bones, generally stroking them, healing

1551
04:01:31.879 --> 04:01:35.959
in a loving way because they deserve to be treated.

1552
04:01:39.000 --> 04:01:43.159
There's the precious bones that they are, because our legs

1553
04:01:43.200 --> 04:01:46.559
are so precious as in all the other parts of

1554
04:01:46.639 --> 04:01:54.799
our body, the more precious of any chore on the planet.

1555
04:02:03.360 --> 04:02:11.360
When you start to think about your legs in this way,

1556
04:02:15.920 --> 04:02:22.600
it can change your perspective. It might sound a bit

1557
04:02:25.680 --> 04:02:29.959
a bit silly to start with the idea of having

1558
04:02:30.879 --> 04:02:40.879
love for your legs, showing appreciation for your thighs, wanting

1559
04:02:41.000 --> 04:02:44.920
to be able to put your hands in your thighs,

1560
04:02:47.120 --> 04:02:53.479
massage the muscles and the bones, and to get your

1561
04:02:53.600 --> 04:03:02.120
fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just to show

1562
04:03:04.040 --> 04:03:11.360
how much you care about your legs, how much you

1563
04:03:11.520 --> 04:03:14.319
care for what your legs do.

1564
04:03:14.680 --> 04:03:14.920
For you.

1565
04:03:16.520 --> 04:03:28.639
Regularly, your needs, your calves, your ankles, the strength of

1566
04:03:28.760 --> 04:03:36.799
your ankles, considering how thin they are compared to the

1567
04:03:36.920 --> 04:03:44.600
rest of your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong,

1568
04:03:46.159 --> 04:03:53.239
so flexible, absolutely amazing things.

1569
04:03:54.559 --> 04:03:56.040
Your ankles are.

1570
04:03:59.680 --> 04:04:04.799
True a gift because of what they do for you,

1571
04:04:10.280 --> 04:04:17.239
supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,

1572
04:04:18.440 --> 04:04:23.239
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

1573
04:04:23.239 --> 04:04:25.600
of weight for these little ankles.

1574
04:04:29.239 --> 04:04:33.680
How are a lot heavier than eight stone double dock.

1575
04:04:36.959 --> 04:04:45.879
Get My ankles support my body all the time, or

1576
04:04:45.959 --> 04:04:48.840
they do give off a sigh of relief when I

1577
04:04:48.959 --> 04:04:49.479
sit down.

1578
04:04:51.760 --> 04:04:53.920
That's I've had my whole legs to.

1579
04:04:57.559 --> 04:05:03.000
My feet feels go my toes clap.

1580
04:05:04.200 --> 04:05:04.920
I'm so happy.

1581
04:05:24.719 --> 04:05:25.799
Your legs.

1582
04:05:27.319 --> 04:05:35.159
Really are amazing. And I know there talking about talking

1583
04:05:35.159 --> 04:05:37.120
about your legs is probably.

1584
04:05:39.239 --> 04:05:43.920
Possibly among the most most boring things I've ever heard

1585
04:05:44.000 --> 04:05:52.360
anyone say. Possibly you're boring or not. Everything I said

1586
04:05:52.520 --> 04:06:09.159
is true. Your legs are amazing. Your legs deserve not

1587
04:06:09.559 --> 04:06:28.000
just respect, They deserve to relax deeply. They deserve to

1588
04:06:28.159 --> 04:06:33.479
take some time out of the day to just let

1589
04:06:33.639 --> 04:06:34.719
go completely.

1590
04:06:52.639 --> 04:06:53.600
Your legs.

1591
04:06:58.760 --> 04:07:12.120
Really can relax because the legs are so such a

1592
04:07:12.479 --> 04:07:18.040
most you know, very important part of your body. When

1593
04:07:18.079 --> 04:07:21.479
you relax your legs, the rest of your body also

1594
04:07:22.760 --> 04:07:40.280
naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can feel

1595
04:07:40.280 --> 04:07:49.079
it in my hips. My hips feel really loose, and also.

1596
04:07:48.920 --> 04:07:53.639
My lower back as well. My lower back really.

1597
04:07:54.079 --> 04:07:58.680
Feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in

1598
04:07:58.799 --> 04:08:02.040
a chair and there's no stretching.

1599
04:08:04.200 --> 04:08:05.799
As far as I'm aware that I'm doing.

1600
04:08:06.840 --> 04:08:09.479
It's almost as if the muscles are just relaxed so

1601
04:08:09.719 --> 04:08:15.639
much that there is a natural stretch as the tension

1602
04:08:16.520 --> 04:08:37.760
has reduced a lot. And I'm now going to count

1603
04:08:37.840 --> 04:08:46.360
down from ten down to one, and you can continue.

1604
04:08:47.600 --> 04:08:48.399
To feel.

1605
04:08:49.879 --> 04:09:22.600
Wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five four three.

1606
04:09:26.440 --> 04:09:31.559
Two one.

1607
04:09:37.399 --> 04:09:38.040
Relax.

1608
04:09:45.879 --> 04:09:50.159
So I'm just going to count down five down to one,

1609
04:09:50.920 --> 04:09:53.559
and as a countdown, if you.

1610
04:09:53.680 --> 04:10:00.559
Just focus on the numbers, just the numbers count and down,

1611
04:10:01.600 --> 04:10:10.719
and notice how you feel in this moment as you

1612
04:10:10.879 --> 04:10:18.399
hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those numbers counting

1613
04:10:18.520 --> 04:10:28.639
down represent you feeling calmer, not just in your body,

1614
04:10:28.799 --> 04:10:32.799
but also relaxing your mind.

1615
04:10:35.840 --> 04:10:41.159
Just notice how you feel there's nothing to do, there's

1616
04:10:41.280 --> 04:10:44.879
nothing to say, there's nothing to think about.

1617
04:10:47.920 --> 04:11:10.399
Starting with number five four three.

1618
04:11:20.680 --> 04:11:27.120
Two one.

1619
04:11:36.600 --> 04:11:48.440
How as you notice the gradual letting go with the

1620
04:11:48.600 --> 04:11:56.200
tension in your body. You may also begin to notice

1621
04:11:56.319 --> 04:12:03.040
and be aware of how your might mind is starting

1622
04:12:03.520 --> 04:12:11.479
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

1623
04:12:14.079 --> 04:12:19.280
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural because

1624
04:12:19.360 --> 04:12:25.280
as your body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax,

1625
04:12:26.879 --> 04:12:30.520
and the more your mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes.

1626
04:12:30.639 --> 04:12:31.239
It's just a.

1627
04:12:31.399 --> 04:12:43.319
Continuous circle of relaxation. And there is that calmness that

1628
04:12:43.559 --> 04:12:47.479
comes from relative quietness.

1629
04:12:49.040 --> 04:12:53.959
You know, even even if there's background sounds, either your

1630
04:12:54.120 --> 04:12:55.200
side or mind.

1631
04:12:56.799 --> 04:13:02.639
Is still going to be quite calm. You know, you

1632
04:13:02.680 --> 04:13:07.879
haven't got the television on, there's no music in the background,

1633
04:13:08.000 --> 04:13:10.120
unless you're listening to the recorded with music.

1634
04:13:10.280 --> 04:13:17.479
Of course, you're very likely not going to be sitting

1635
04:13:17.520 --> 04:13:20.680
in a room with other people. Of course you might be,

1636
04:13:20.879 --> 04:13:25.239
but generally it's more ideal if you can do this

1637
04:13:25.440 --> 04:13:26.079
on your own.

1638
04:13:27.639 --> 04:13:37.719
So no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

1639
04:13:44.280 --> 04:13:54.559
relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort starts to grow,

1640
04:13:59.079 --> 04:14:05.760
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical

1641
04:14:06.159 --> 04:14:17.920
or something magical, this is just a natural process, something

1642
04:14:18.040 --> 04:14:28.200
that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's almost you know,

1643
04:14:28.360 --> 04:14:35.200
the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you put

1644
04:14:35.399 --> 04:14:39.239
no effort into it. It's not something that you can

1645
04:14:39.360 --> 04:14:50.959
really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part of

1646
04:14:51.399 --> 04:15:01.600
the process of this recording and others is simply two

1647
04:15:03.200 --> 04:15:10.600
allow you to take advantage of this space.

1648
04:15:12.799 --> 04:15:27.319
This time, to just let go, to just be here, to.

1649
04:15:27.440 --> 04:15:40.920
Be in tune with how you feel, yet with the

1650
04:15:41.079 --> 04:15:54.440
intention of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to

1651
04:15:54.559 --> 04:16:02.079
fall asleep, depending on what it is that you for yourself.

1652
04:16:03.360 --> 04:16:04.159
In this moment.

1653
04:16:11.159 --> 04:16:20.479
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process

1654
04:16:20.600 --> 04:16:21.600
of falling asleep.

1655
04:16:22.799 --> 04:16:26.239
The actual fall in the sleep part is the tiny

1656
04:16:26.319 --> 04:16:27.000
bit at the end.

1657
04:16:30.399 --> 04:16:45.079
The deeper relaxed you become, the easier you find yourself drifting.

1658
04:16:54.520 --> 04:17:01.040
But you can also if you choose stay focus on

1659
04:17:01.239 --> 04:17:29.479
my voice and really enjoy the process gradually relaxing each

1660
04:17:30.000 --> 04:17:56.520
muscle in your body effortlessly and just observing the sensation

1661
04:18:01.799 --> 04:18:17.760
of letting go completely. This time, I'm gonna count from

1662
04:18:18.000 --> 04:18:31.360
six down to one. You can notice your mind calming

1663
04:18:31.639 --> 04:18:46.079
down more with each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling.

1664
04:18:47.719 --> 04:21:49.559
Calm and slow, peaceful, six, five, four, three, being aware.

1665
04:21:52.360 --> 04:22:08.440
How you might to slow right down, sinking deeply into relaxation.

1666
04:22:22.319 --> 04:22:29.280
As you focus on your mind, you may notice that.

1667
04:22:31.159 --> 04:22:38.959
There are some thoughts still there, maybe some stubborn thoughts

1668
04:22:39.159 --> 04:22:47.239
that for some reason perhaps need your attention.

1669
04:22:54.239 --> 04:22:55.639
So what you can do is.

1670
04:23:01.079 --> 04:23:08.879
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

1671
04:23:13.040 --> 04:23:18.920
With love my door petals from a flower. Just sprinkle

1672
04:23:19.079 --> 04:23:26.680
over them petals feel good love towards those thoughts, to

1673
04:23:26.879 --> 04:23:33.000
let those thoughts smoke that you're not abandoned in them.

1674
04:23:34.440 --> 04:23:35.760
You just need them.

1675
04:23:37.000 --> 04:23:48.920
You require them to just calm down, slow down, quiet down.

1676
04:23:52.639 --> 04:23:53.000
For now.

1677
04:24:00.920 --> 04:24:06.680
So as you focus on those remaining thoughts. As a countdown,

1678
04:24:06.799 --> 04:24:12.159
this time from seven down to one. With each number,

1679
04:24:15.159 --> 04:24:27.680
just imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude

1680
04:24:30.959 --> 04:24:40.319
over those thoughts, which will allow them to just not

1681
04:24:40.559 --> 04:24:55.559
away and relax deeply. Of every number, those thoughts will

1682
04:24:55.680 --> 04:26:30.360
become more last Starting if number seven, six, five, four, three,

1683
04:27:39.000 --> 04:27:56.399
Lets you know, notice how relaxed your feeling in your body.

1684
04:28:04.799 --> 04:28:17.959
We got to focus on your hands, because the more

1685
04:28:18.079 --> 04:28:25.760
relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body and mind.

1686
04:28:41.200 --> 04:28:52.760
This you focus on your hands and your fingers, there's

1687
04:28:52.840 --> 04:28:54.959
nothing needed to be done.

1688
04:28:55.959 --> 04:29:01.040
There's no clinching of fists or death sit the fingers

1689
04:29:01.159 --> 04:29:01.959
or anything about that.

1690
04:29:09.399 --> 04:29:22.680
It's just not to sa focusing on your hands, not

1691
04:29:22.879 --> 04:29:24.760
to see there they feel.

1692
04:29:39.079 --> 04:29:49.319
Because the relaks do. Your hands feel like calm by

1693
04:29:49.440 --> 04:30:01.639
your mind feels and confidence you feel throughout your body.

1694
04:30:07.559 --> 04:30:18.280
Gee may have already.

1695
04:30:20.399 --> 04:30:42.079
Noticed you mind is starting to draft.

1696
04:30:55.360 --> 04:30:56.319
Quick, said.

1697
04:31:00.079 --> 04:31:14.799
Aust on your hands and fingers, allowing a cheap experience,

1698
04:31:17.479 --> 04:31:24.959
a real deepening of that relaxation in your hands and

1699
04:31:25.200 --> 04:31:37.239
fingers and more relaxed.

1700
04:31:41.719 --> 04:32:02.719
With each number from eight down to one. Almost feel

1701
04:32:03.200 --> 04:32:18.479
that healing, relaxing energy, spread it into your hands and fingers, becoming.

1702
04:32:25.879 --> 04:32:42.639
Relaxing with each number you hear, going down eight down

1703
04:32:43.399 --> 04:35:39.360
to one, drift down, drifting again, started with seven three.

1704
04:36:59.200 --> 04:37:08.439
Just be here now, nothing to think about, nothing to do,

1705
04:37:10.080 --> 04:37:24.319
nothing to say, and everything just feels calm. This is

1706
04:37:25.439 --> 04:37:32.200
your natural state of being. This is how you just

1707
04:37:33.319 --> 04:37:39.840
normally feel when you take away all that other stuff

1708
04:37:42.279 --> 04:37:47.200
that we add, anything like stress and way we hear

1709
04:37:50.240 --> 04:38:05.000
I don't think anxiety ten generally thinking about so we

1710
04:38:05.200 --> 04:38:06.279
take that away.

1711
04:38:07.360 --> 04:38:09.799
This is what we did, what we do now.

1712
04:38:16.240 --> 04:38:27.479
He left with a real sense of theseus which comes

1713
04:38:27.639 --> 04:38:36.919
to you very goodly because as plead, it's just a feeling,

1714
04:38:41.319 --> 04:38:43.720
a feeling of comfort.

1715
04:38:47.959 --> 04:38:51.919
Most as if you got inside yourself, you've found a

1716
04:38:52.159 --> 04:39:02.439
special place where everything he is peaceful.

1717
04:39:05.080 --> 04:39:12.720
Place sweep in the film, relaxed and you're actual sense

1718
04:39:12.799 --> 04:39:26.000
of confident place Week can be. We can accept yourself

1719
04:39:27.200 --> 04:39:32.159
and you are the place where you're not trying to

1720
04:39:34.400 --> 04:39:41.599
release anybody else in place.

1721
04:39:41.759 --> 04:39:42.759
Week can.

1722
04:39:44.279 --> 04:39:53.000
Actually not just love yourself, but in some ways more importantly,

1723
04:39:53.639 --> 04:40:10.680
you can like yourself, appreciate who you won't a sense

1724
04:40:10.799 --> 04:40:25.639
of gratitude. See the air around that's also a place

1725
04:40:25.840 --> 04:40:36.040
where you can actually feel the heaving energy soaking into

1726
04:40:36.119 --> 04:40:46.599
your body. Heaving energy soaking.

1727
04:40:47.360 --> 04:41:02.479
Into your body, heaving energy spreads through your face, traveling.

1728
04:41:02.240 --> 04:41:08.439
To each every single part of your body.

1729
04:41:14.599 --> 04:41:18.959
You start to realize that actually a healing energy.

1730
04:41:21.439 --> 04:41:27.360
It's not just entered into your brain, it's become a

1731
04:41:27.560 --> 04:41:39.639
part of your brain. The spinal fluid is now mixed

1732
04:41:39.720 --> 04:41:41.360
to me the energy.

1733
04:41:46.319 --> 04:41:46.840
Not just.

1734
04:41:48.959 --> 04:41:55.799
Allowing you to feel so much more relaxed and healthy.

1735
04:41:56.959 --> 04:42:07.759
In this moment, but also you start to realize that

1736
04:42:07.959 --> 04:42:19.200
actually what's happening now with that healing, relaxing energy spreading

1737
04:42:19.599 --> 04:42:31.040
through your body. It's actually changing your life. It's actually

1738
04:42:32.360 --> 04:42:36.119
changing the way you're going to feel not just now,

1739
04:42:37.959 --> 04:42:40.799
but tomorrow and the next day.

1740
04:42:42.840 --> 04:42:43.880
Is your health.

1741
04:42:44.040 --> 04:42:51.279
Improves, not just your physical health, but your mental health.

1742
04:42:55.279 --> 04:43:00.439
Things that used to bother you in the past, for

1743
04:43:00.599 --> 04:43:04.880
some reason, no longer have the.

1744
04:43:04.959 --> 04:43:13.880
Effect that they used to because something has changed deep

1745
04:43:14.360 --> 04:43:14.840
within you.

1746
04:43:19.919 --> 04:43:26.319
Maybe things that used to cause you to feel anger

1747
04:43:30.159 --> 04:43:37.479
no longer have that power to control you.

1748
04:43:39.959 --> 04:43:42.400
The way they seem to be able to before.

1749
04:43:46.080 --> 04:43:56.880
Do you realize that you're the one who decides what

1750
04:43:57.200 --> 04:44:08.880
affects you. You're the one who decides to feel relaxed

1751
04:44:09.759 --> 04:44:10.680
and calm.

1752
04:44:12.000 --> 04:44:27.439
When you choose to enjoy noticing these natural developments, the

1753
04:44:27.639 --> 04:44:45.639
healing continue to grow and improve your life day by day. Includes,

1754
04:44:45.880 --> 04:44:59.319
of course, your ability to relax so much easier and sleeping.

1755
04:45:03.919 --> 04:45:09.599
It's the most natural thing in the world to you

1756
04:45:14.080 --> 04:45:17.880
because fall in the sleep is something that you've done.

1757
04:45:20.720 --> 04:45:28.360
So many times in your life, and you know that

1758
04:45:28.560 --> 04:45:33.799
you were born, as we all were, with the ability

1759
04:45:35.439 --> 04:45:46.279
to fall asleep naturally. We're born with that ability.

1760
04:45:48.680 --> 04:45:50.479
To just drift.

1761
04:45:52.000 --> 04:46:03.880
Off into a deep, healing sleep. Even when we're kids

1762
04:46:05.520 --> 04:46:07.720
sometimes will fall asleep when we dad.

1763
04:46:07.799 --> 04:46:08.439
You don't want to.

1764
04:46:10.439 --> 04:46:15.040
Try to think stay awake. Maybe it's a birthday in

1765
04:46:15.119 --> 04:46:19.279
the morning, while it's Christmas or holiday or something. We

1766
04:46:19.400 --> 04:46:24.119
look forward to that when I got to sleep. But

1767
04:46:24.240 --> 04:46:29.360
the more we want to stay awake, the more we

1768
04:46:29.599 --> 04:46:37.599
just start to drift. And the more you fights drifting,

1769
04:46:38.520 --> 04:46:43.319
we try to stock yourself and drifted the same the

1770
04:46:43.520 --> 04:46:55.720
details stronger thout. Drifting becomes because we're born not just

1771
04:46:55.919 --> 04:47:02.639
with the need to relax deeply and to actually fall asleep,

1772
04:47:05.840 --> 04:47:19.159
but it's our birthright, it's part of our DNA, and

1773
04:47:19.439 --> 04:47:24.840
sometimes as we get older in life, perhaps at times

1774
04:47:25.759 --> 04:47:28.000
we have forgotten.

1775
04:47:32.080 --> 04:47:34.959
Relaxing completely.

1776
04:47:36.680 --> 04:47:50.040
It's not only a wonderfully pleasant experience, it's also really easy.

1777
04:48:01.400 --> 04:48:09.279
It's very very easy to go because that's all it is.

1778
04:48:09.439 --> 04:48:09.919
It's just.

1779
04:48:13.360 --> 04:48:28.959
Decided. And when you press the play button on my recordings,

1780
04:48:30.840 --> 04:48:36.119
you have given permission from my voice.

1781
04:48:37.439 --> 04:48:44.799
To election. When you press that play button, you have

1782
04:48:44.959 --> 04:48:48.959
given me permission for my words.

1783
04:48:52.319 --> 04:49:07.000
To effect in a positive opening, a positive way, opening

1784
04:49:07.200 --> 04:49:25.599
up the mind to useful and healing suggestions.

1785
04:49:30.119 --> 04:49:30.720
You can have.

1786
04:49:35.319 --> 04:49:42.759
Such a ways and effect why how you feel right now?

1787
04:49:47.520 --> 04:49:57.360
As well as those changes, they continue long after the

1788
04:49:57.479 --> 04:50:09.599
recording acts. Those changes within the continue to flourish and grow,

1789
04:50:14.119 --> 04:50:28.479
transforming your life in positive, beautiful way, allowing you to

1790
04:50:28.840 --> 04:50:35.759
move forward in your life in the parag the hugues

1791
04:50:37.279 --> 04:50:59.159
for yourself this feeling, this feeling here in experience of safety, comfort, calmness,

1792
04:51:06.919 --> 04:51:20.919
this feel so nice, such a healthy place to be,

1793
04:51:28.799 --> 04:51:42.599
and that positility rose within you in ju every day

1794
04:51:45.479 --> 04:51:54.799
and move forward. You had to find them or the

1795
04:51:55.040 --> 04:52:10.240
axed physically and in your minds light. And it's not

1796
04:52:10.400 --> 04:52:16.080
that you're thinking slower, it's just that your mind would

1797
04:52:16.080 --> 04:52:23.919
be less uno down your mind necess say negativity.

1798
04:52:27.080 --> 04:52:29.159
Because from now your.

1799
04:52:29.200 --> 04:52:39.720
Mind rejects negativity. For now you're going to start noticing

1800
04:52:42.959 --> 04:52:59.599
when negativity arises. You can just say stop, stop that negativity,

1801
04:53:02.319 --> 04:53:23.080
turn around and believe your life. Stop the negativity disappear.

1802
04:53:31.400 --> 04:53:37.680
Did you notice that you feel way on the next

1803
04:53:39.119 --> 04:53:54.720
And you probably expected now to congratulate yourself because you

1804
04:53:54.880 --> 04:54:02.119
are the person has done this, but but one that

1805
04:54:02.200 --> 04:54:10.400
has opened your mind up to the simple face. You

1806
04:54:10.720 --> 04:54:22.279
can't feel the worst body and in your mind I

1807
04:54:22.439 --> 04:54:28.279
follow menage your mind up to the birthright beeman.

1808
04:54:28.880 --> 04:54:46.720
Just a sleep easily with the cheeks. That's a nice fearing.

1809
04:54:51.439 --> 04:54:52.119
Who's nice?

1810
04:54:52.240 --> 04:54:52.599
Does that.

1811
04:54:56.040 --> 04:55:00.319
Feel bad?

1812
04:55:00.479 --> 04:55:00.680
Here?

1813
04:55:01.119 --> 04:55:15.599
Energy is spreading body. Why spend time in a special

1814
04:55:15.759 --> 04:55:33.319
place where negativity and in activity is bad? It's bad,

1815
04:55:34.759 --> 04:55:41.560
It's not a loud entry, doesn't doesn't. This doesn't deserve

1816
04:55:41.680 --> 04:55:49.400
