00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:09.279
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. Me name is

2
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:20.920
Jason Newland. This is Q Today, Friday, Curday, Friday. Please

3
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:33.399
only listen when you can safety close short's and I

4
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.600
just want I say thank you to Diana for your

5
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:49.719
client PayPal gift. Thank you very much. Yeah, I'm just

6
00:00:49.719 --> 00:01:12.560
trying to think what's happened since yesterday? No? Nothing, Yeah,

7
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:24.239
I'm trying to do nothing. I'm just trying to think. No,

8
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.599
I can't think of anything. I can't think of anything

9
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:35.040
that's happened ever today or later. Today is the heavyweight

10
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.599
Boxing Championship of the World. I'll be watching that, Daniel

11
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:52.719
Dubois against Alexander k Usick and I'll be watching that. Also,

12
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.640
there's another world title fight tonight, which is uh bam

13
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:10.000
bamgregious or what's going on here? Okay, Cliff Richard, Okay,

14
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:21.319
of just also one that I will not be paying for.

15
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:29.120
I'll watch it on YouTube. Is Mani Pacquiao is fighting

16
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.439
for a world title after about seventy five years of

17
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:48.919
not actually fighting anyone. That's going to be weird. That's strange. Uh,

18
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.719
but saying that that's a really really good bill, damn it?

19
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:04.840
Or yeah, but I can't. It's way it's in the

20
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:19.280
middle of the night. It's on Amazon Prime. That's confusing me.

21
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:30.199
I'm sure all networks the Zone Saturday ninety Jesse Rodriguez, oh,

22
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.280
because they still called him Bam Bam, but it's actually

23
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.919
a So this is on to Zone. Jesse Rodriguez, which

24
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:44.319
is called Bam Bam is defending his world title for

25
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:54.039
two world titles against Paul mel Cafu. So I can

26
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.479
watch that. It doesn't cost any extra I watch that.

27
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.360
I want to watch all of them. Ah, well, we

28
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:15.400
will see. I'm definitely watching Alexandra Ushik against Daniel Dynamite Dubois. Yes,

29
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.360
because that's on during the daytime. Well it's on this

30
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.519
evening UK time. The others start probably two o'clock in

31
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:31.399
the morning UK time, and I'm honest with you, I

32
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:38.519
think I might be asleep. Yes, all right, so let's

33
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.120
move away from that. Se qur Day Friday as well.

34
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:49.199
It's raided today, which I don't mind. I don't have

35
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.560
a lot of saying it, really do I it's not

36
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:59.879
really within my personal power. I maned to take the

37
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:06.560
out and we missed a little shower. It started to

38
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.839
rain and we got back in time to not get wet,

39
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.879
so it will be a little bit hit and miss.

40
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.519
I think today as far as taking them out, but

41
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.759
I've got the weekend off. I'm not going up to

42
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.560
the hospital unless there's an emergency, you know, of course,

43
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.120
but I won't be going up there to this weekend.

44
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.839
There's I won't have a little tidy up of my

45
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.879
flat because it's messy, and I just I'm charging up

46
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.000
the scrubber. I've got this mechanical scrubber thing that I

47
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.759
can use to clean the sinks and the toilet and

48
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.600
the bath and stuff like that. There's different headings on

49
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.720
for each one. So I'm gonna I'm charging it up

50
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.600
now and I'm going to have a little bit of

51
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:01.160
a scrub later of the bathroom sink, the kitchen sink

52
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.000
and the kitchen counters. Try and have a little tied up,

53
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:19.000
you know, maybe do a little bit of vacuum cleaning. Minimal, minimal,

54
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:23.319
And I'd like to I don't know, I tell what

55
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.000
concerns me a little bit. I just don't want to

56
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:32.240
be Yeah, I want to make I just want to

57
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.800
make this place a little bit better, a little bit nicer.

58
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:45.360
And if I put a bit of effort in I could,

59
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.040
you know, I could make the door frames nice, I could,

60
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.720
you know, save up and put new doors on to

61
00:06:53.839 --> 00:07:01.199
the different rooms. Because the doors at the moment I

62
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.480
still got the same ones I had on ten years ago,

63
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.319
and they've been there probably ten years or twenty years

64
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.040
before that, and they were already all scratched the bits

65
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.240
because the previous person had I think she had two

66
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.079
massive dogs. So the whole you know, it's stuff. The

67
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:24.279
doors are just they're not the night. They're not the

68
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.920
most pleasant to look at. I don't spend a lot

69
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.160
of time looking at them to be airy. No, No,

70
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.600
I don't really. I don't just sit there in front

71
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.800
of the door and just look at it and I think,

72
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:44.839
oh no, it's not a hobby. But I still see them.

73
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.199
I sometimes think it'd be quite nice to just got

74
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.800
this whole flat, you know, just get rid of all

75
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:58.360
the stuff, not get rid of everything, but redecorate it.

76
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:10.360
Put a new decent carpet down, nice curtains, just little

77
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.519
things like that, a decent setty, because the one I

78
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:20.519
got now is falling apart. No, it's fairly comfortable. Perhaps

79
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.800
just get myself a lazy boy, something like that because

80
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.839
I had all an equivalent to that. I had a

81
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.639
cheap version of that when the very first moved in.

82
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.200
I think it cost me about one hundred and fifty

83
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.000
quid and I had it for quite a few years.

84
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.480
It was all right. Eventually it broke and fell apart.

85
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.039
Would you imagine anything that I sit on is going

86
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:49.840
to eventually fall apart? I don't know. I came moving

87
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.279
on from.

88
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.080
That, but.

89
00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.440
Yeah, yeah, I have a little look. Some of the

90
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.279
walls that still got looks like mold, but it's not.

91
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:10.000
It's just the backing felt from when I had soundproofing

92
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:14.159
up over there. Got took them off to put them

93
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:17.360
into my shed, which I had in my bedroom. Didn't know, Vinny,

94
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.320
you never got to see that the bedroom shed, did

95
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.879
you know? You didn't It was gone before you moved in.

96
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:30.679
Yes it was, Yes, it was. You never got to

97
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.960
see the bathroom shed, the bedroom shed, or the kitchen shed.

98
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.480
So that that's gonna I probably need some kind of

99
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:48.360
you know, one of those heat heat scrapers, torch scrapers things.

100
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.240
I probably need something like that. Yeah, I would, yes, Vinny,

101
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.320
Yes they would, yes, they would. Are you not going

102
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.480
to have your breakfast Finn, you cannot going to eat

103
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:13.840
your breakfast. No, no, why I woke up this morning,

104
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.519
I went a bit about ten, three minutes past ten.

105
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.200
It was woke up. I got up out of bed

106
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:27.720
just after six this morning, and then he was in

107
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.759
the living room. He was in here asleep on the city.

108
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:40.519
So I don't know why. I do know why. It's

109
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.679
because he wanted to come and sleep in here. But

110
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:44.639
I don't know why he wanted to come and sleep

111
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.879
in here because he only ever does things he wants

112
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:53.320
to do, doesn't do anything he doesn't like. Do you, Vinny,

113
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:57.919
don't pretend you can't hear me. Now. He is like,

114
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.000
pretty right up, you're listening to me. I know you are.

115
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:09.120
I know you are. Oh, so yeah this, I'm not

116
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:18.639
gonna be going anywhere. I did my Oh because it's Saturday.

117
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.120
This is Friday, Q and a Friday is Saturday. So

118
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.080
I didn't make a recording yesterday because I started to think,

119
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.559
wait a minute, I made a recording yesterday. So there's

120
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.480
no point in telling you what the latest is. But

121
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.440
I can tell you a little bit about the latest.

122
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:41.600
The main thing is I left here at nine o'clock

123
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:47.919
yesterday morning to go to the hopital. Got there in

124
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:55.360
good time. It's fine. Got their probably ten past ten,

125
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:08.320
that's fair enough. Left the hospital about ten past twelve

126
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:14.159
because Uncle Sausages had his dinner. So when he gets

127
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:19.200
his dinner, I leave so that he can be a piece.

128
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.080
But I see he's watching the golf. He didn't. I

129
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.679
wasn't really needed to be fair. He's said that's what

130
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.840
he was focusing on, which is good because he was

131
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.799
looking forward to it. He's been looking forward to it

132
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:36.759
for over a month and it started on Thursday. So

133
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.960
he's watching that half half listening to me, half watching

134
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.960
the golf. And he did say something that made me

135
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.200
laugh though, because he's got I don't want to use

136
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:53.320
the word paranoid because he doesn't like that word, but

137
00:12:53.480 --> 00:13:00.720
he's basically, without going too deeply into medical stuff, his

138
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:08.320
body is not filtering his blood, okay, so those toxins

139
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:13.679
are going into his brain and it's a very standard

140
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.000
thing in his situation. Happens to millions of people, and

141
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.519
it's causing a thing called h E which I can't

142
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.600
remember what it stands for, and it isn't home economics.

143
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.000
What don't know what it is. I know what it

144
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:33.320
is I've been studying. Oh, it's ridiculous. I know way

145
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.639
more about the liver than I ever wanted to in

146
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.120
my life. Before. All I knew is I didn't like liver.

147
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.919
Tastes it horrible. That's all I knew. I didn't realize

148
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.600
that it had a function. And then when you realize

149
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:55.919
what its function is, how could you eat it? When

150
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:05.840
you realize like this is actually that, it's not something that. Yeah, no,

151
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:15.200
but hey, he so he's not quite He's got a

152
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:23.360
few like I'm trying to be careful how I word this.

153
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:30.799
He yeah, he thinks he a couple about a week

154
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.200
ago fought to the hospital. No, no, it's the beginning

155
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.840
of this week. He thought the hospital would messing with

156
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.600
his food because he said the food tastes different. They're

157
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.480
adding stuff to the food. And then he's concerned about

158
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.200
the medication he's given getting given them why is he

159
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:50.200
taking it? And he started hiding the tablets. So I

160
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.399
sorted that side out. But I promised him on Thursday

161
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.559
night I would come into hospital, speak to the nurse,

162
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.759
get the nurse to come in, speak to him, explain

163
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.919
to him exactly what the medication was for what the

164
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.679
medication is that he's getting and what it's for and

165
00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:16.200
whether he needs to take it or not in a

166
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.639
way for him to understand and feel safe. And the

167
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:27.039
other issue was he told me that one of the

168
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.679
cares or nurses, it's hard to know who's who now

169
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.559
because I think in hospitals it seems just from what

170
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:41.639
I've seen that the support workers or the care workers

171
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.000
are pretty much doing a nurse's job now, or like

172
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:53.639
the nurses kind of in charge of them is you know,

173
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.000
there's a lot of and it's hard to know who's

174
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.200
who now, which ones that are nurses, not that it

175
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:04.039
make any difference, but they're doing they're doing all the

176
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.240
I think. The only thing they don't. You don't see

177
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.919
a care worker generally with a telescope around the neck,

178
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:18.279
so they don't have that, but they they seem to

179
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.480
do everything else. I'm not sure whether or not they

180
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.519
take bloods or stuff. But but then when you've got

181
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:30.320
the canicular thing that's or you know, it's like permanently

182
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.519
in their arm, they can take blood. Anyone could take

183
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.039
blood from that couldn't because it's quite easy, I imagine,

184
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.919
but not the I've ever done it. He wouldn't let me.

185
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.279
I was like, please, uncle, just let me just take

186
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.399
a bit of blood. It's fun for me. He said,

187
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.039
it's not fun for me. Okay. I said, I'll let

188
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.120
you play with one of my Lego toys. He said,

189
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.639
what I said, I'll let you play with one of

190
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.679
my Lego toys. He said, no, I'd what you said.

191
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.400
But what do you mean Lego toys. Lego is a toy.

192
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:08.640
It's not a Lego toys. It's a Legos. You build

193
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.839
something with a Lego set, Yeah, but no one, no

194
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.000
one calls it a Lego toy. Well, obviously I do.

195
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.319
And then he went on a rent about Legos and

196
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.480
it's Lego isn't just for kids, so therefore it's not

197
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:29.599
a toy. It's for adults too, and everyone can be creative,

198
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.880
and you know, it's it's a it's a great way

199
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.480
to relax, to find some kind of mindfulness. In fact,

200
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:43.039
possibly Lego And then you start talking about jigsaw puzzles.

201
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:50.079
Lego and Jigsaw puzzles were around long before mindfulness meditation

202
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.079
became a thing in the West. And I said, well,

203
00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:58.519
what's that got to do with your tablets and he

204
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:05.480
said nothing anyway, he said one of the nurses told

205
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.599
him that he had to clear up after himself, so

206
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:13.559
if there was any kind of situation, he had to

207
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:17.640
clear up. So I went and spoke to the nurse

208
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.759
and I explained to the nurse what he said to me,

209
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.799
and she said, you know who it was and said

210
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.400
that to him. I said, no, don't, So it was wrong.

211
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.839
They shouldn't have said that. But apparently they also do

212
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:36.359
try and encourage self sufficiency or if that's the right word.

213
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.279
But to be fair, I don't think that's really an

214
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:47.160
issue anymore. If I was going I'm just thinking if

215
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.039
I was in a situation where they're in hospital and

216
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:54.319
they have to learn to cope with a new type

217
00:18:54.319 --> 00:19:00.599
of lifestyle, then helping them to learn to do things themselves,

218
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.680
if they're going home, they're going to be on their

219
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.319
own and live the next twenty thirty years.

220
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:06.960
You know.

221
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.640
It's but he's not in that situation, and he's an

222
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.759
elderly man, and it's like, I just think people, all

223
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.680
people deserve respect, but in that situation even more. I

224
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.880
don't know why, but just there's something different about that

225
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:31.519
kind of situation. It's just like a short term I

226
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:33.119
don't know what I'm trying to say anyway, it's got

227
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.640
its own room, it's nice, it's better than some rooms

228
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:39.119
I've lived in. Seriously, I would have been happy living

229
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:45.720
in a room like that and not necessarily an environment,

230
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.039
but getting food, getting someone clean in the bathroom, and

231
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.759
I'd get a big TV in there. I don't know

232
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.640
if he's allowed to put his own TV in there,

233
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.319
but you know, if it was, if he was in

234
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.880
the room, then he could do it want it, couldn't it.

235
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:06.759
So he's on a short list to be getting a

236
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.359
getting into a care home. That seems to be the

237
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:16.480
next step because the hospice isn't probably going to happen

238
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.240
because of the waiting list. So he's going to try

239
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.559
and they're going to try and get him into a

240
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:26.000
care home at the first opportunity. So he's now been

241
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.720
moved to a room on his own, and I'm hoping

242
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.319
by the end of next week he'll be moved. So

243
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.160
really on it, which is good and he'll be happy.

244
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.839
And he seems a bit happier now being in that room.

245
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.920
He's not distracted by other people, is not. Yeah, he's

246
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:53.799
not quite as annoyed. However, yesterday he was in good

247
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.000
spirits and he's watched He's got the golf on while

248
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.200
he's talking to me. He's pretending to listen to what

249
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.559
I'm saying. I can see he's just keeps looking down

250
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.160
at the gulf on the laptop on the iPad and

251
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:15.599
he's watching it live on Sky Sports, and he is

252
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.960
the food comes out, so I don't rush off as

253
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.559
soon as if food gets there. I'm still talking to him.

254
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.920
And he had what did he have? Oh? He had

255
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.119
a potato, a jacket potato, two little bits of butter,

256
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.720
you know the ones in the wrappers and tin t

257
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.319
you know, like I don't know, foil wrapper things. And

258
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.559
he had a little tub well actually it wasn't top tiny,

259
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:50.119
but a tub of tuna fish. And then he also

260
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:54.359
had a bowl of custard with some pudding in it.

261
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.599
So I said, do you need a hand draw me

262
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.759
to do anything? So he said yeah, And I basically

263
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.839
cut his potato opened for him, and I said, be careful.

264
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.559
Was hot.

265
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.480
And he.

266
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:19.000
And he said to stop treating me like a child.

267
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.880
And then he had a bite and was hot.

268
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.839
Why didn't you tell me?

269
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.240
Now? He did? So I cut ead to potato open.

270
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.359
I asked him what he wanted next. He wanted the

271
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:35.240
butter put on, So I put one bit of batter

272
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:39.240
on each bit. Let that soak in a bit. And

273
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.319
then I said, Georgia, want done with a tuna fish.

274
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.319
Now he could have done all this himself, probably, but

275
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.720
it felt quite nice doing it for him, you know

276
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.119
it just it seems like a nice thing to do.

277
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.519
But I don't know why. Just and plus he likes

278
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:08.160
bossing me around. As I put some tuna fish on

279
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:13.599
top of the potato, and I kind of I didn't

280
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:16.160
mesh it, but I kind of pushed it in a

281
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:20.000
little bit, you know, to make it a little bit whatever,

282
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.559
just how I guess how I would have done it myself.

283
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.839
And he said to me, my sure if I want

284
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.000
to eat that. I said, well, okay, well if you had,

285
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.160
if you you've had a jacket potato before, he said yeah,

286
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:44.440
of course. I said, if you've had tuna fish on

287
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:52.160
a jackie potato and he said he mumbled something, and

288
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.319
he said, why don't you, Why don't you try it?

289
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.359
I said, no, I'm not hungry, because it was like

290
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.720
I'd had my I'd had a little snack. I had

291
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.880
a cross on. Actually I got a cross on from costumes.

292
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.000
Didn't get a coffee because it was so hot yesterday,

293
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.519
really sticky and.

294
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:20.519
Not.

295
00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:26.400
I didn't find a particularly pleasant heat wise. It wasn't Yeah,

296
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:32.680
it was. I mean, remember when the sun was on me,

297
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.799
it was too hot. It was kind of a little

298
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:44.000
bit uncomfortable from my head. So I said, no, you're

299
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.680
fine enough. I'm all right. I've already had to cross

300
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:51.400
on half an hour ago. I'm not hungry. And I said,

301
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:55.640
okay then, and he like seemed to be hesitant, but

302
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.079
then he took a bit and he said, I've got

303
00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:59.680
to be careful because the last thing I had was

304
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.839
too hot. And I said, well, why don't you touch

305
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.319
it with your tongue gently like you you know, and

306
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.440
just make sure that it's it's not too hot before

307
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:13.640
you put in your mouth. And he said okay, and

308
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.920
he put a big bit on his fork. He just

309
00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.559
just put it right in his mouth. He didn't test

310
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.960
it or nothing. So that is going to burn you

311
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:30.720
if you do that, Bernie, Bernie. And but I can't

312
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.680
tell someone else how to eat their food. I mean,

313
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.119
he's been doing it a lot longer than me, and

314
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:42.039
he but yeah, I'd be a bit careful. Session with potatoes,

315
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.920
they really can't hold the heat. So but it seemed

316
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:50.920
fine and he said, yeah, it's all right. And he

317
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.440
pointed at the dessert and I said yeah. He said,

318
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.400
I said, what what is it? It's custod, isn't it.

319
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.240
What's in it? He said, do you want to try that?

320
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.599
I said, well, I said, you want to try try

321
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:10.599
some of the dessert? I said no, I really don't

322
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.839
like custard. It's not I don't like custard. I cannot

323
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:19.240
eat custard. It is beyond no. That's a no no,

324
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:26.720
like a complete no no, like no it that would

325
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.200
be it's going to be that. Yeah. It would be

326
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.000
like eating something if you think something that you really

327
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.200
don't would never eat. That's the same for me. It's

328
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:49.599
the same as yeah no, see yeah. See if you

329
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:52.440
if you put a bowler custard, chucked it in a

330
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:55.519
bin and anyone put all that rubbish on top of it,

331
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:58.799
and you pulled the custard bowl out and said, and

332
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:02.240
it's got all full of and rubbish, would you eat that?

333
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:04.599
It would be the same response as if there was

334
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.480
as if it was straight out of the oven or

335
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.400
wherever custard comes from. Whether it's born. I don't know.

336
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.960
I just don't. I can't. It's one of those things.

337
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:20.079
We've all got our little things and we some people

338
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:25.079
don't like crocodiles. I don't like custard. Don't judge me, baby,

339
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:31.119
so and I said, no, I don't like custard. I

340
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:33.640
didn't go into a big thing. I didn't talk about

341
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.599
crocodiles or list of things that some people might like

342
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:40.599
that you know that I'm okay with that people don't like,

343
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:45.480
and all that stuff. Didn't mention my my, you know, generally.

344
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:56.319
And he looked at me. He stays smiled, and I'm like, okay,

345
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.279
you seem in good spirits. I'm not going to not

346
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.559
going to rocked the boat on that one. He seemed

347
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.880
much in a better frame of mind than he had

348
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:09.640
done all week, all month really, but all week definitely.

349
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:16.039
And he said, yeah, he started talking about Henry the Eighth.

350
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:21.640
I said, okay, I'm not quite sure why he's talking

351
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:27.720
about Henry the eighth. It seemed a bit random, you know,

352
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:30.079
how did he manage to start? He just started talking

353
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.759
about Henry the eighth. And he started talking and I

354
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.759
wasn't really with him where he was going with this,

355
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.079
and he started talking about how Henry the eighth had

356
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:47.400
a food taster, and then I remembered my history the

357
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.359
all Kings. Generally, I think back in the old days,

358
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.920
he used to have food tasters to make sure that

359
00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:01.000
the food was safe, that they weren't being poisoned. He

360
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:06.160
was using me as a food taster. He was making

361
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.240
sure that the food wasn't poisoned. And when I realized

362
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:16.319
what he was talking about, I couldn't stop laughing. It

363
00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:19.279
was proper belly laughing. And he was laughing as well

364
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:27.400
because he found it funny. But I just couldn't believe

365
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.599
that he meant it as well. He really wanted me

366
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.519
to test his food and fought. I just found it

367
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:40.240
hilarious that I said, okay, so what about me?

368
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:40.440
Then?

369
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:44.160
So if the food was poisoned, what about me? Then

370
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:49.359
he started laughing even more, like okay, thanks, So that

371
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:55.680
was kind of a funny funny thing. Another one he said,

372
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.599
this is a couple of nights back because been having

373
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:09.400
possible hallucinations, maybe weird dreams or something. But anyway, this

374
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:13.759
previous to that, and this night he said, well in

375
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:18.119
the morning, he said, oh, last night I went into

376
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:24.680
I was orbited into space, and I said, I think

377
00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:27.720
I perhaps he dreamt that he was in space, or

378
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:31.680
he hallucinated that he was in space, you know, seeing

379
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.480
the stars, the moon, galaxy, Milky Way or whatever and

380
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.359
all that stuff. And I'm thinking I'm talking to him

381
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:45.559
like okay, just going along with it. So I thinking

382
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.319
he's talking about how he imagined he was actually in

383
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.000
space and either hallucinated it or maybe he dreamt it,

384
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:57.000
and it was so really believed it was true. That's

385
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:01.559
not what he was talking about at all. What he's

386
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.839
really trying to tell me is he was woken up

387
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:09.160
by the biggest part of his life. His bum woke

388
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:13.319
him up, and he said it shot him. He banked

389
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:20.240
his head on the ceiling. It was that powerful. It's like, ah,

390
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:26.400
it's hard to keep crack. But yeah. So that's Uncle

391
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.759
Sausages yesterday. I'm going back on Monday. I've got the

392
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:38.680
weekend off. I need the weekend off. Is this is

393
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.400
my time. I'm not going to be around any humans

394
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.119
at all, if at all possible, Me and Vinnie, nothing else,

395
00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:57.759
no one else. Pure bliss are lovely, no dramas, no conversations,

396
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.200
And to be fair, I'm usual to want to over talks.

397
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.200
I'm an oversharer, and if someone is sitting there quietly,

398
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.880
and then they're in a room with me, they're quiet,

399
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:13.799
I would just keep talking. And that's why I'd be

400
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:17.400
I'd be terrible in an interrogation room. If I was

401
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:19.799
being interrogated, what they'd have to do is just sit

402
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.200
down and just look at me, and they get my

403
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:28.839
entire life story, you know. So I was hoping the

404
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:38.920
rain would stop the the neighbors from being particularly loud,

405
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.680
but they seem to have still doing that, so you

406
00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:46.640
might be able to hear that in the background. There's

407
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.200
there's really nothing I can do about it. It's one

408
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.599
of those things I can The only thing I could

409
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:58.079
do is not make a recording, right if you know,

410
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.799
And I don't want to do that because this is

411
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:10.680
what I'm supposed to be doing, isn't it. Yeah. I

412
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.279
left about ten past twelve yesterday, got on a bus,

413
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:24.759
waited for a while for a bus and got two wheels.

414
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.880
You know, it's a two bus journey, got there, got

415
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:30.720
to the bus stop I was going to get off.

416
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.960
I had a choice of three different buses going past

417
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:38.880
so for years, so that's why I went there. I

418
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.720
was there for about an hour waiting before a bus

419
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:46.079
actually turned up loads of other buses that weren't going

420
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:51.279
where I was going. In fact, the bus that I

421
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:56.200
got that same number bus came and passed me about

422
00:33:56.240 --> 00:34:03.440
four times during that period, and I couldn't even see

423
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.000
the bus numbers very clearly from a distance, so a

424
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:11.079
couple of times I might put my hand out to

425
00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.880
stop the bus and then when it got closer realized

426
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:21.119
no thanks, and I like I waved it off. Another

427
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:23.280
time I stopped the bus asked because I didn't know

428
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.280
the number, I didn't know what it was. I said,

429
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:27.880
do you go to go to my home? And they

430
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:34.599
said no. Then eventually a bus did come because I'm here,

431
00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:48.039
But I got home called for twenty three. Yes, it

432
00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.840
took two and a half, about two and a half

433
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:55.360
hours to get home. I was.

434
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.320
It was.

435
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:10.199
Tiring, itch war Oh that's nice, so yeah, I was.

436
00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:21.280
I came home, I had a SunNet to eat, I

437
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:25.559
had an old chat with one of my neighbors. Then

438
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:32.480
I went and had a nap and I did feel

439
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:38.280
better after than a nap I did. Then I watched

440
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:44.599
a what did I watch? But he watched a bit

441
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:50.239
of TV, watched part of a movie, and I watched

442
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:55.119
the end this morning, and then I went to bed

443
00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:04.159
just after ten. Yeah, listen to the radio. I fell asleep,

444
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:10.599
woke up at one, did a we wei, turned the

445
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:16.960
radio off, and then woke up again at six. Well

446
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:21.079
might I woke up at three and then six, and

447
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:30.880
then that was it. So you're now up to date

448
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:37.000
on my entire life. You see now what I call it?

449
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.800
Let me boardy to sleep because there's nothing interesting or

450
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:45.119
exciting about anything that happens to me. It's all boring.

451
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:52.079
So let's go through the questions. I got one, two, three, four, five.

452
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:59.280
Hope asks me favorite candy? Do you have any? What

453
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.840
are they?

454
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:01.639
Well?

455
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:05.119
Thanks, Hope. We don't call it candy in this country.

456
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.119
I know what you mean when you say candy. So

457
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:16.880
you mean chocolate, don't you? Chocolate and sweets? So yeah,

458
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:22.760
we don't call it that. I just thinking, so, so

459
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.679
chocolate is candy, but are sweets because you are sweets

460
00:37:26.719 --> 00:37:34.199
like you know, boiled sweets, humbugs for example, or bomb bombs,

461
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.760
jelly babies, things like that. What would that would that

462
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:47.440
come under candy as well? So I'm gonna I'm gonna

463
00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:50.840
assume if I think of chocolate bars. Okay, so we

464
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:54.840
just call them sweets. Really, it's what we call them

465
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:59.440
because because they're sweet. Yeah, it kind of comes under

466
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:05.320
the umbrella of sweets in this country. But I'm not

467
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.320
going to be pedantics. I know, I know what you mean.

468
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:14.360
The only candy I've ever had, so I have been

469
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:18.239
sent stuff from America in the past, and it was

470
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:24.519
those a couple of things, what those little I think

471
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:29.079
it was girshy was it a girshy bar? And those

472
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.440
little twiggler dinkle wrinkle things that are just very sweet

473
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:47.000
but yummy. I think the sweets, chocolate and stuff like

474
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:55.599
that in America is possibly way better than in this country.

475
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.239
I mean, I don't know, I've never been to America.

476
00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:03.800
I hope to God, I don't know how. I got

477
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:05.400
no idea if I'll ever be able to do it.

478
00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:10.360
But if I ever go on tour, if I was

479
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.519
to go on taur, I need to have enough money

480
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:19.880
coming in to cover the cost of the travel, to

481
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:28.480
cover the cost of the accommodation and you know, the expenses.

482
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:34.679
So if you could organize a nice tour for me,

483
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:38.719
anyone who would want to see me but can you

484
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:41.960
imagine me putting out, Oh, I got a tour, and

485
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.199
I imagine if I posted it on Facebook, I'll probably

486
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:51.880
get maybe four likes. It's like, yeah, okay, that's really

487
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:54.239
I don't think people would really want to do a

488
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.559
meet in greet because in a way, I do a

489
00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.880
meet in greet every time I do a recording, don't

490
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.280
I don't think I really need to be in the

491
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:09.480
same room. But I think it might be distracting seeing

492
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:11.840
me in person, especially if you don't know what I

493
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:16.119
look like. If all you've got is the voice and

494
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:19.719
you imagine that I'm like blonde and six foot nine

495
00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:28.119
and hairy like a gorilla, I don't know. Well, however

496
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:35.159
you imagined I am, it's probably not going to be

497
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:40.760
how I am because no voice I say none. But generally,

498
00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:51.480
in my experience, voices rarely match a person physically if

499
00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:55.800
you hear the voice first. I think if I meet someone,

500
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.360
sometimes a voice matches them perfectly, like, yeah, you've got

501
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:05.280
that voice is perfect for you. But then if you

502
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.800
think about someone like Earl what is his name, dar

503
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:16.199
vader Man, the voice of Darth Vader, you could like

504
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:25.000
that voice matched him. But then once it's like all

505
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.800
we know, isn't it Earl Jones, Earl Gray Jones or

506
00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:35.480
something his or Morgan Freeman. The voice matches his face.

507
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:46.000
But then pee Wee Herman's voice would match Morgan Freeman's

508
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:53.639
face if if that was his normal voice, if that's

509
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.559
all we knew, so you know, in the Shore Shore

510
00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:04.599
Dank Prediction or whatever it was, Morgan Freeman they said,

511
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:07.519
we've got to an hour, We've got to get hour.

512
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:14.239
I don't know, however pe Wee Herman talks. I did

513
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.760
like the way he talks, maybe if it made me laugh,

514
00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:23.199
and and it'd be almost like, okay, that that makes

515
00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:28.719
sense because you're used to it. But if you didn't know,

516
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:36.199
and you heard Morgan Freeman's voice, which is pe Wee

517
00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:40.360
Herman's voice, and you heard that on the radio or

518
00:42:41.719 --> 00:42:44.119
you know, audio wise, and you didn't know what you

519
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.000
look like, and then you saw Morgan Freeman, you might

520
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:53.280
think that doesn't look like his voice. Well that doesn't

521
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:55.079
sound like it. Well it doesn't. That's not what I

522
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:00.199
would have mentioned he would look like I suppose, but

523
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:04.440
I imagine I think in Morgan Freeman, if he had

524
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:08.199
his voice, not knowing what it looks like and I

525
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.119
almost feel like you wouldn't be surprised because but then

526
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:15.079
that's just because we know, we know him. It's been

527
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:20.519
around for so long. Yeah, it's a weird one in it.

528
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:26.840
But yeah, anyway, my voice does not match me. I've

529
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:29.199
actually got a friend who likes listening to my voice,

530
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:34.800
which is weird. She listens to my recordings. This is

531
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:39.280
something that I've known for wow, over twenty years, and

532
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:45.320
she listened to my recordings when she's at home. And

533
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:54.679
why why I like your voice? Yeah, but come on

534
00:43:56.119 --> 00:44:00.199
stop it. Favor candy. So I want to say, I'm

535
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.440
going to go for favorite chocolate bars, bearing in mind

536
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:11.280
I'm not supposed to eat chocolate anymore. I'm going to go.

537
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:19.719
I'm going to go. Yeah, my go to is it's

538
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.119
quite weird too, And they're kind of similar in a way,

539
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:28.880
crunchy bars and more teasers. And we've both got honeycomb

540
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:36.000
and chocolate. It's a different flavor, different taste, but it's still,

541
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:42.000
you know, honeycomby. I used to love eating honeycomb, just

542
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:48.920
honeycomb when I was seventeen eight about eighteen, and I'd

543
00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:52.760
take a bar be wrapped up in plastic I'd take

544
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:56.360
a bar just to work with me, and I'd have

545
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.840
it in my preak time and literally it would be

546
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.960
stuck to my teeth. My mouth would be stuck shut

547
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:12.159
for about three hours. Literally it was Oh, it was fun.

548
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.880
Just love the taste. And sometimes I would lick it

549
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.559
and make it into do you know people do their

550
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.840
what do they call it widling, tiddling widdling where they

551
00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:27.639
have a little knife and a bit of wood and

552
00:45:27.679 --> 00:45:31.400
they turn it into something. I did that with the honeycomb,

553
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:35.480
but instead of a knife, I used my tongue and

554
00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:39.400
I would shape it and turn it into I don't know,

555
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:47.679
just a distorted honeycomb bar. Really, I didn't really didn't

556
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:57.679
resemble anything. I enjoyed it. It was my temporary hobby.

557
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:02.880
I used to see. I don't eat sweets much anymore

558
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.199
due to the fact that I'm not really supposed to

559
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:11.880
because of my sugar levels, blood sugar levels and my

560
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.559
weight again was sort of losing some weight, so I

561
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:19.119
stopped having sugar in my tea, and I don't I

562
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.000
don't eat. There was a time when I'd have like

563
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:27.239
two chocolate bars a day, and I'd drinking at least

564
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.519
four cans of coca day. I don't do any of

565
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.519
that anymore. I don't. I don't drink coke anymore. If

566
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:37.119
I have a fizzy drink, which has been a bit

567
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.679
more regular lately because I've been going up to hospital

568
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:45.880
and it's been hot and water is okay. But I

569
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:50.639
was getting cans or bottles of drink for Uncle's sausages,

570
00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:56.679
so I ended up getting myself a fenter. I quite

571
00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:04.960
my fenta, but I don't drink coke, and so I

572
00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.840
don't drink faner it all the time. I did every

573
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.719
day for a couple of weeks probably, but now I

574
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:16.280
realizing that actually water is just better when it's hot.

575
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:31.480
But myself personally bon bombs, so they're kind of they're

576
00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:40.880
like icing, icing sugar on top of toffee the balls,

577
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.360
and sometimes they're flavored. So I quite like the plain ones.

578
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:50.880
Strawberry ones. Yeah, that's kind of the ones I liked.

579
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:58.480
Haven't had them for years. All other things. I used

580
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:05.119
to love it curly whirly, but again, and also because

581
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:08.519
I I'm trying to kind of be a bit more

582
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:13.880
careful with my teeth as well, so I don't try

583
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.840
to keep down a little bit when it comes to

584
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.039
eating chocolate, and with chocolate, with chocolate bar, you can

585
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:22.599
eat it and just you know it's gone. But if

586
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:26.800
you eat something that's chewy, then that sugar's kind of

587
00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:30.239
staying around the teeth and stuff. I don't know if

588
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.679
that makes sense. I mean, last time I had a

589
00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.719
curly earlier, I put it in the freezer, got it out.

590
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.239
We're all looking forward to it all. I was a

591
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:49.320
bit into it, and it's well, it got stuck in

592
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.320
my in my teeth and when I removed it, it

593
00:48:53.400 --> 00:49:00.239
also removed by filling. So that was not a good idea.

594
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:04.239
And I think I did it another time and it

595
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:07.159
broke my tooth in half because I didn't learn the

596
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.559
first time. That wasn't the second bite. This was like

597
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.400
a few months later. Okay, I thought by then and

598
00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:19.679
you say, well, just have the curly Worthy without freezing it.

599
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:28.519
The problem is curly Worthies are They're very meltable, and

600
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:35.559
I'm not really into melted chocolate unless it's on ice cream,

601
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:43.239
so melted Curly Worthies weren't really my favorite thing. I

602
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:47.559
suppose I could have put it in the fridge because

603
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:53.480
it's still it wouldn't be like a rock hard the

604
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:58.239
way it was when it was in the freezer, but

605
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:05.519
it wouldn't be warm, soggy and dripping. H that doesn't

606
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:11.440
sound very pleasant, does it. I'm trying to think I

607
00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:16.639
could list all I don't have a Yeah, I'd say probably.

608
00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:23.320
My favorite chocolate bar is a crunchy, my chocolate bar,

609
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:30.679
as in, yeah, be a crunchy. I do like bars

610
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:36.519
of chocolate, just chocolate as well, so Galaxy, I like that,

611
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:42.599
Capri's bar of chocolate. I like that. Fruit and ut

612
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:49.400
I like that. And one of my favorite chocolate bars

613
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:53.960
from the past, and I haven't eaten it for quite

614
00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:58.960
a long time, maybe years, is a toblern. I used

615
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:03.679
to love togrown and they do. It's a taste. He's

616
00:51:03.679 --> 00:51:08.760
got nugget in it or nougar. I call him nugget,

617
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:12.760
and it's very tasty.

618
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:16.079
Oh.

619
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:23.519
I used to eat them fairly regularly. One of the

620
00:51:23.599 --> 00:51:26.599
reasons I don't eat as much chocolate as they used

621
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.599
to is because I no longer go to the petrol station.

622
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:37.159
I used to go every day. There was more a

623
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:41.360
Luke thing. I'd go over there with him, so we'd

624
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:45.360
take the say the boys for a walk, you know,

625
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:52.519
and just I'd go and get something. I was able

626
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.239
to take Vinnie in there, so we'd go in there,

627
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:59.159
I'd get something, he'd get something, or i'd get something

628
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:03.760
for him, and it'd stay outside with Logi. And quite

629
00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:07.599
often they had these special offers two for one pound

630
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:11.760
fifty chocolate bars, so i'd get one for him and

631
00:52:11.800 --> 00:52:19.039
one for me, and you know, that'd be like a

632
00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:28.320
daily thing. And I kind of because someone those. Oh

633
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:32.000
and oh yeah. Another I like is I do love

634
00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:41.239
a chocolate flake, or the galaxy version, which is I

635
00:52:41.239 --> 00:52:43.360
can't even know what it's called. I've eaten one. I've

636
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.239
been eating them for forty years. I still don't remember

637
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:51.360
what they're called. They're nice. They're crumbly as well, but

638
00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:55.360
not as crumbly as a flake. So I like capprige flake.

639
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:04.079
The weird thing about it is I like but on

640
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:08.079
an ice cream. I love them like an ice cream

641
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:17.639
with a flake makes it so much more appealing. And

642
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:22.199
that flake is it's all about the flake. Yeah, a

643
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.480
flake on its own. If it's cold, I don't like

644
00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:35.639
warm flakes. It was cold, it's nice, it's really Oh

645
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.039
it's out of fridge, not a freezer out of fridge,

646
00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:42.639
although I suppose I could put in a freezer. I

647
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:47.239
want one. Now. I have no chocolate. There's no chocolate

648
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.719
in here. I've got no biscuits, no chocolate, no treats.

649
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:55.079
Even he hasn't got any treats. All his treats are

650
00:53:55.119 --> 00:54:03.280
gone now, damn it. I really if I had biscuits,

651
00:54:03.440 --> 00:54:08.760
I'd be eating them, honestly, just the odd biscuits. I mean,

652
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:11.920
what I like to get is these stem ginger biscuits,

653
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:23.320
and they're it's from Saint's Breeze, but what do they

654
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:25.320
call it as good as as good as it gets,

655
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:30.119
or that they it's like a it's their home brand,

656
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:36.360
but it's at a higher level that makes it sense,

657
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:40.880
that makes sense to you. And they're they're a little

658
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:46.480
bit more expensive, but they're so nice and the big

659
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:50.840
old things and the ginger stem and I have them

660
00:54:50.880 --> 00:55:01.360
with a cup of tea and it's just all all yeah.

661
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:03.480
But if I bought something the other day, that'll be

662
00:55:03.519 --> 00:55:07.639
gone if I honestly, within a day or two days

663
00:55:07.639 --> 00:55:13.840
of buying, and they're gone. So I didn't get any

664
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:19.760
this week. I managed to just spend just the amount

665
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:24.480
that I was able to spend, just some milk and

666
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:36.840
some breakfast cereal, and not a lot else, to be fair,

667
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:42.239
not much more a few little bits of bread color

668
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:48.519
frozen bits. Yeah, I'm just trying to think. I used

669
00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:56.679
to love tries, cream, chocolate cream, what would they called,

670
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:03.320
Oh yeah, chocolate and don't get them till the beginning

671
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:07.960
of the year. But the chocolate eggs, Capri's cream egg

672
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:16.880
I've been eating them forever. But again, it's only really

673
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:21.000
what I get from the supermarket now online because I

674
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:26.159
don't go to the petrol station anymore. So it's not

675
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:31.079
like a daily thing anymore, which is good. It's a

676
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:36.800
good thing, but you know, I had to Yeah, I

677
00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:41.440
was told at the beginning of the year last year

678
00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:45.280
I needed to lose weight because my blood sugar level.

679
00:56:45.400 --> 00:56:56.639
So I did lost over a stone. Favorite candy Do

680
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:01.199
you have any No, So that's my next answer. No, hope,

681
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:06.599
I have a neur candy. I have no chocolate. All

682
00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:13.880
Smarties is why I love Smarties. Oh yeah, I love

683
00:57:13.960 --> 00:57:19.800
Smarties to what I do like, but I also don't like.

684
00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:25.960
I love the taste of bounty a bounty bar. I

685
00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:30.320
love the smell, I love the taste, but I struggle

686
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:35.599
to be able to swallow coconut. It has a I

687
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:40.519
just can't. I can, but it's almost like the coconut

688
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.599
gets in my mouth and it sucks all of the

689
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:49.800
liquid out of my body into the coconut, and that's

690
00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:53.639
what I'm sure that's not happening. But I have to

691
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.840
have a drink in order to eat the coconut. But

692
00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:03.320
it tastes so good. So I don't eat the bounty

693
00:58:03.320 --> 00:58:09.920
bar because it's it. Although it tastes amazing, smells lovely

694
00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:18.400
that duh. Yeah, it's too much chewing involved, and I

695
00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:21.199
just can't. It just doesn't seem to go down. So

696
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:25.920
what's so well as easy? I just remembered when I

697
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.079
was a kid, I wasn't allowed to have alcohol. We

698
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.000
used to have wine at the dinner table, and at Christmas,

699
00:58:34.079 --> 00:58:36.559
maybe i'd have a bit more wine than I normally

700
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.519
would have, but we didn't have you know, I wasn't

701
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:44.440
drinking whisky or anything like that. But at Christmas we

702
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:51.159
used to have these liqueurs, these chocolate liqueurs, and I

703
00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:56.519
would eat as many as I was able to, and

704
00:58:56.559 --> 00:59:00.599
I probably was a little bit tipsy on them. He

705
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:11.960
looked good. It's very good. Oh yes, who ha tum true.

706
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:14.599
Trying to think what other chocolate bars.

707
00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:15.199
I like.

708
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:26.039
Just visualizing all chocolate clays, love myself some chocolate clays.

709
00:59:26.800 --> 00:59:36.360
So these are basically individual sweets. They're wrapped up and

710
00:59:37.159 --> 00:59:43.599
it's basically yeah, they're toffee on the outside and chocolate

711
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:52.159
on the inside. But so nice, oh so nice. I

712
00:59:52.199 --> 00:59:57.519
can I can get through a pack really quickly because

713
00:59:57.519 --> 01:00:01.000
I went after another just or and you can mix

714
01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:04.559
in a bit of mint as well, which changes the taste.

715
01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:10.480
It's just all really nice. Just trying to think what

716
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:18.440
other I used to In two thousand and nine, I

717
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:26.280
went through a period when I was eating Worver's Original sweets,

718
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:35.639
and they're like boiled sweets, but toffee tastes so good,

719
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:41.760
so good. And then they brought out toffee toffee Worver's

720
01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:45.280
Original toffee, which you could just chew like you know,

721
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:53.719
like toffee toffee. So good, so nice. But that was

722
01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:58.159
like a short a short term thing. I stopped eating

723
01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:00.519
them after a while, but I used to eat them

724
01:01:00.599 --> 01:01:06.320
regularly for a few months. I don't know why I stopped, really.

725
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:10.719
I remember one thing I used to do when I

726
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:15.079
was a paper boy. I had this little period of

727
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:20.119
time when I'd go and collect my papers in the afternoon,

728
01:01:20.239 --> 01:01:29.280
after school and I would have some do I have

729
01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:39.920
toffees and soft bins, and I'd mix them together, so

730
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:46.320
beat toffee, mint, oh, and maybe a bit of chocolate.

731
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:47.719
Oh.

732
01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:53.800
I just mixed it altogether like a I don't know,

733
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:56.599
like a washing machine or something, or a tumble dryer,

734
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:01.400
just or a mixer, I suppose mixing it like a blender.

735
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:04.199
And it was like it was like a I was

736
01:02:04.280 --> 01:02:08.920
like a little walking experiment. It was lovely, but then

737
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:12.599
I'd always feel a bit by the time I got

738
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:16.000
home because I just stuffed all this stuff down and

739
01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:21.199
it was a little bit too much, a little bit

740
01:02:21.920 --> 01:02:28.360
too much sugar. Even then, I'm trying to think of

741
01:02:28.480 --> 01:02:33.360
any other chocolate bars that I really I do like Aeriel,

742
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:48.800
the mint one I do, I quite like. I do

743
01:02:48.920 --> 01:02:56.800
quite like mint. Mint flavored stuff. What are they called mint? Oh,

744
01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:04.840
they're like boiled sweets. They have mints, mevvyes, bevies, heaves, webbies,

745
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:16.960
what they called mints, Webbes, Levies, Tevies, Murray's mint, Murray's. Oh.

746
01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:18.559
I don't know if they still make them, but I

747
01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:28.760
used to like them very nice now just thinking about

748
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:33.320
stuff that I used to enjoy, because when I was young.

749
01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:35.719
I mean, there is a shop in town that does

750
01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:41.159
this still. But when I was young, all the well,

751
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:48.440
not wanna say all, but my local one anyway, newsagents

752
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:52.239
or I used to call it sweet shop, and it

753
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:54.719
was on the corner. In fact, it wasn't a news agent,

754
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.920
so it was just a sweet shop. Yeah, it was

755
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:07.599
on the corner. Oh my goodness, Wow, how weird is this?

756
01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:17.639
I just remembered something that i'd forgotten for like forty years.

757
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:27.119
You believe that, say, he's a memory, I've not forgotten.

758
01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.039
This isn't a memory that I've forgotten, but I've forgotten

759
01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:33.639
the complete memory. And now I realized where it was.

760
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:41.280
So it was early eighties, maybe late nineties, but probably

761
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:50.320
eighty maybe eighty one. Charlie's Angels was on TV, so

762
01:04:50.400 --> 01:05:00.119
it's possibly Tuesday or Thursday evening. I went to the

763
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:03.400
sweet shop, which was just around the corner. It wasn't

764
01:05:03.400 --> 01:05:07.000
far to go to from where I lived up the road,

765
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:09.239
so basically, come out of the house.

766
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:13.000
And just.

767
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:22.159
Turn left, then turn right, turn left, turn right or

768
01:05:22.320 --> 01:05:35.599
turn left, go up and turn right. But anyway, it

769
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:39.880
wasn't far. But I just remembered because it's this shop.

770
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:43.840
It was basically he had a ladder that used to

771
01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:48.320
get up to get all these tubs of sweets, boiled sweets,

772
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:54.400
bomb bombs, chocolate saucers, sparkly things, all these kinds of

773
01:05:55.639 --> 01:06:01.400
yeah sweets. And it'd be all these big play stick containers,

774
01:06:01.719 --> 01:06:04.719
all high up and low down, and the big chocolate

775
01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:08.119
bars on the counter, and he'd say, what you want

776
01:06:08.159 --> 01:06:10.039
and he turn around and he go and get it,

777
01:06:10.079 --> 01:06:17.960
and only until this right this, not this second, but

778
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:21.360
you know, a couple of minutes ago when I mentioned it,

779
01:06:23.599 --> 01:06:26.719
I have the memory of going there, and I have

780
01:06:26.800 --> 01:06:31.599
the memory of getting some sweets before Charlie's Angels was

781
01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:36.519
on TV, because back then Charlie's Angels was big, big show.

782
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:43.960
And walking to that shop getting some sweets, coming home

783
01:06:44.079 --> 01:06:49.320
to eat the sweets whilst watching. There was this one suite.

784
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:55.599
It was bobby and flat but a bit Bobby was pink,

785
01:06:56.800 --> 01:07:01.159
but it was mint and chewy. Can't remember what it's called.

786
01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:07.920
I liked them. Well. I just realized that that shop,

787
01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:14.599
the sweet shop they used to go into for years,

788
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:18.079
was the same place that I worked at when I

789
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:22.679
was in a chip shop. It's the same building, it

790
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:28.119
was the same entrance and I didn't realize just till now.

791
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:33.320
So I don't know what on earth was next to it,

792
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.840
because it was a lot bigger than the shop. The

793
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:41.199
shop was quite small, unless he lived in the back

794
01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:45.239
or something, and upstairs I don't know. And then maybe

795
01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:50.840
he just kept all his suits or stocked up. Oh

796
01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:52.760
he had a really big bathroom. I don't know. But

797
01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:57.199
the place was that the building was not small, but

798
01:07:57.360 --> 01:08:01.320
his shop wasn't big. Go in and pretty much you'd

799
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:03.599
walk in and you're pretty much you were at the

800
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.599
counter when you got in there. There was no big

801
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:16.359
long walk to get to the counter. And it was

802
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:22.079
that exact building, that exact same shop as the chip

803
01:08:22.119 --> 01:08:28.479
shop that I ended up working in in eighty six. Wow,

804
01:08:31.479 --> 01:08:32.840
how strange.

805
01:08:32.359 --> 01:08:32.800
Is that.

806
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:41.359
I completely forgot until now. I wonder what other things

807
01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:48.439
I've forgotten, because this is the stuff that interests me,

808
01:08:53.359 --> 01:09:00.680
remembering things that you know, I guess I thought i'd

809
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:11.119
forgotten but was still there inside my memory. I mean,

810
01:09:11.239 --> 01:09:16.279
you know, arguably it wasn't the most exciting memory. Perhaps

811
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:22.359
nice intriguing and figurating and yeah, on the edge of

812
01:09:22.399 --> 01:09:29.560
your chair sitting story that I thought it was when

813
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:35.159
I told you. But I find it kind of interesting

814
01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:39.600
that I was able to remember something that I had

815
01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:45.800
completely forgotten. In fact, I'd even forgotten that that used

816
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.439
to be the sweet shop when I worked at the

817
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:53.880
chip shop. So I've forgotten that that building was the

818
01:09:53.960 --> 01:09:57.680
chip shop and was the sweet shop. Sorry, I forgot

819
01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:04.439
e and then in nineteen eighty six, because it was

820
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:08.159
a sweet shop probably until maybe nineteen eighty three eighty four.

821
01:10:14.479 --> 01:10:29.359
How weird. That's really strange, isn't it. Wow? Yeah, ooh,

822
01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:38.800
ooh ooh. Do I only have other favorite chocolate or

823
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:50.279
does ice cream count? I do? Like, I'll tell you

824
01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:52.600
one of my oh what was it called?

825
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:53.960
Oh?

826
01:10:54.000 --> 01:10:57.720
What's that chocolate? That ice cream covered in chocolate and

827
01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:02.560
freckles of like nut, and then you buy into it

828
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:08.159
and eventually you've got like a bit of chocolate on her. Oh,

829
01:11:08.239 --> 01:11:13.319
it's been so long since I've had an ice cream bar.

830
01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:16.960
I used to know all the names of the ice creams,

831
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:23.800
but it's gone out of Mied's left mired for some reason.

832
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:26.359
M hmm.

833
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:34.119
Right. Thanks to that. Maria asks you, do you have

834
01:11:34.760 --> 01:11:40.039
a favorite all time comedian from your time at the

835
01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:44.680
comedy club, famous or otherwise? Thank you? I came Maria

836
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:55.600
thanks for that all time favorite comedian. The So what

837
01:11:55.840 --> 01:12:01.159
do I early focus on comedians that I've seen, whether

838
01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:04.960
at my comedy well, the comedy club that I was

839
01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:07.920
involved in, or any other comedy club, or someone that

840
01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:10.720
I performed with or you know, I was on the

841
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:18.359
same bill. But no comedians. I'm not going to talk

842
01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:22.199
about any comedians that are around that have come afterwards

843
01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:26.199
or that were before, or anyone in America apart from

844
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:31.560
the ones that see live. So as far as comedians,

845
01:12:31.600 --> 01:12:36.600
there's two comedians that made me laugh the most in

846
01:12:37.359 --> 01:12:43.359
a live show in my memory, and one was Dennis Leary.

847
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:47.720
So he came over from America, but I saw him.

848
01:12:47.880 --> 01:12:52.720
I basically followed him around for I think he was

849
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:57.840
here for about two weeks, and I went and saw

850
01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:02.399
him at every opportunity. I saw him at probably four

851
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:07.359
different clubs, and he was hilarious. Honestly, is one of

852
01:13:07.399 --> 01:13:11.239
the first comedians that I've seen that just had me

853
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:21.520
laughing all the way through, uncontrollably laughing. Another one, very

854
01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:26.399
similar situation. Really it was a little bit later. It

855
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:30.600
was Jerry Jerry Sadovich and it was in a little club.

856
01:13:31.199 --> 01:13:35.039
I'm not sure if I'd performed if I was performing

857
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.920
that night, I just went there to watch him. But

858
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:41.319
it was in it was in a room above a pub.

859
01:13:42.479 --> 01:13:48.239
It wasn't a big audience, but he was so so funny.

860
01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:51.199
I mean, it wasn't a small audience, but there was

861
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:54.640
probably couldn't have been more than like fifty sixty people there,

862
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:57.560
so it wasn't a big space in a nice stage.

863
01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:00.720
He just stood on the same level as the audience.

864
01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:06.920
So funny. I was laughing, I really laughed loud and

865
01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:11.079
just like just so, they're the two that made me

866
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:23.720
laugh the most our performance. You know that that? Yeah,

867
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:28.520
So then too, They're not my favorite comedians, which is

868
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:31.439
a probably weird thing to say, but if I was

869
01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:36.039
going to choose my favorite comedians, and I've got respect

870
01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:38.800
for any anyone that will go on stage and perform

871
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:45.680
because it's not easy, and anyone that can actually be successful,

872
01:14:45.880 --> 01:14:53.800
like wow, that's that's amazing. It's like good for them.

873
01:14:53.880 --> 01:15:00.199
But as far as favorite performers favorite comedians, I do

874
01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:03.439
like Jimmy Carr. Jimmy Carr's funny. I find him funny

875
01:15:04.600 --> 01:15:07.319
and I used to know him as well, so I

876
01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:11.880
saw him for years performing at comparing at the club

877
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:14.800
you know, so I knew him. I didn't know him

878
01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:17.840
really well, but I knew him to chat to, and

879
01:15:17.880 --> 01:15:24.680
I saw him perform on stage probably at least a

880
01:15:24.760 --> 01:15:28.279
hundred times, if not more so. I kind of I

881
01:15:28.359 --> 01:15:32.439
knew his act inside and out at that time, but

882
01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:33.720
not anymore.

883
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:36.600
So.

884
01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:40.439
I guess I didn't appreciate him as much because I

885
01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:42.640
kept seeing him. He was doing a lot of the

886
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:46.640
same stuff, which is just normal for comedians. You know,

887
01:15:46.800 --> 01:15:48.960
if they move around, they do the same They might

888
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:52.479
have like five four gigs in one night and perform

889
01:15:52.560 --> 01:15:55.800
the same act four times in a row. But the

890
01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:58.760
audience to them it's new because then I've seen him before,

891
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:04.279
especially on the London circuit where most of the comedians

892
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:09.319
are not famous, well a lot at that time, most

893
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:12.279
of them weren't known, so people would see them for

894
01:16:12.319 --> 01:16:19.359
the first time. So what seemed like ad libbing or

895
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:21.319
what seemed like it might seem like the comedian was

896
01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:24.439
making stuff up on the spot, when actually they weren't.

897
01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:30.760
It was finely tuned, honed material from years of doing it.

898
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:38.159
I'm just trying to think, my favorite, that's what problem

899
01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:40.840
I had. One of the problems I had, apart from

900
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:49.159
not being very good. Is I didn't have the discipline

901
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:54.439
to go on stage and perform the same material. It

902
01:16:54.560 --> 01:16:57.640
bored me performing the same material. I wanted to write

903
01:16:57.680 --> 01:17:02.680
new material, and the new material was no better than

904
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:05.800
the old material, and none of it was particularly great.

905
01:17:05.880 --> 01:17:09.079
I had a few good one liners, but it was

906
01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:14.680
I didn't and it. And also depending on what mood

907
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:19.119
I was in about how I performed. And there's one

908
01:17:20.079 --> 01:17:23.640
gig I did where it's actually for the same promoter,

909
01:17:24.239 --> 01:17:26.840
so she would I only had two promoters that would

910
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:32.199
give me regular gigs, paid gigs, and one was Dolly

911
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:38.479
and every one was z And Dolly was a fellow

912
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:41.800
comedian like me. She was quite new, but she was

913
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.399
a good promoter and she we were friends, and she

914
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.600
gave me gigs wherever she was. She she opened up

915
01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:52.119
little clubs around the cut, around London area. She had

916
01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:55.439
really one, a really good one and a big one

917
01:17:55.640 --> 01:17:59.680
in color Men. Where he is now or where it was?

918
01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:03.239
What if it's still it's still running? I'm going to

919
01:18:03.359 --> 01:18:32.640
check this now, is I wonder? I wonder now I've

920
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:36.039
been running since two thousand and two. That's long after

921
01:18:37.560 --> 01:18:48.720
I was mine was the nineties. I wonder if because. Okay.

922
01:18:48.760 --> 01:18:51.920
So there was a comedy club called the Crack Comedy

923
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:56.000
Club and she had to change her name to Crack

924
01:18:56.079 --> 01:18:59.680
as in the Irish version, which is cr a. I

925
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:09.920
K I think an it's a really good club, really good.

926
01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:24.640
I wonder, of course his land stand up. Okay, so

927
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:28.479
I'll go back if I put in the original name.

928
01:19:28.600 --> 01:19:36.640
What's going on? Okay, maybe it's not running anymore. It's possible.

929
01:19:37.079 --> 01:19:41.159
I mean sometimes even if a club's really it is,

930
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:48.479
it is it is, but it looks like this one

931
01:19:48.600 --> 01:19:59.720
is in Ireland, I say about the crack Den Comedy

932
01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:02.479
Club is where Ireland's best comedians take to the stage.

933
01:20:03.560 --> 01:20:12.479
So yes, it's in Ireland. No, I thought it was

934
01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:21.520
a Wimbledon the Crack then comedy Okay. Do I remember

935
01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:32.279
her name, Dolly Dupre. It's weird. I don't remember her name,

936
01:20:32.319 --> 01:20:36.760
but I do. The comedy club must include Dolly Dupre

937
01:20:38.439 --> 01:20:43.600
Dotty Dupre doty do pre dotty dot dot Dupre did

938
01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:49.520
do did No. I can't seem to find it. But

939
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:52.359
she was really good to me, So that was nice.

940
01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:57.479
And Z my friend Zed he had a club called

941
01:20:57.720 --> 01:21:03.840
Chicken Reggies and again he had like a really really

942
01:21:04.720 --> 01:21:09.199
big one on a Sunday night, big audience, but he

943
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:13.000
also had other ones started around, like in pubs and stuff.

944
01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:19.119
So everyone loved said, they really did because he was

945
01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:22.880
he was lovely, but he One of the things he

946
01:21:22.920 --> 01:21:29.479
did is he'd put on a comedy night and it

947
01:21:29.640 --> 01:21:33.560
all he'd get good acts. He'd also give people like

948
01:21:33.680 --> 01:21:36.479
me a chance. Plus he was my friend anyway, but

949
01:21:37.039 --> 01:21:40.199
he gave people like me, you know, an opportunity to

950
01:21:40.239 --> 01:21:43.039
do a gig, and if we did well, he'd give

951
01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:46.720
it pay. But something that he was known for is

952
01:21:47.520 --> 01:21:51.760
he always paid the acts regardless of what the audience was, like,

953
01:21:52.479 --> 01:21:56.399
how many people turned up, even if no one turned up,

954
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:59.640
he would still pay the acts. So he was able

955
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.560
to get big names on the circuit to do his

956
01:22:03.640 --> 01:22:08.199
gigs because he would pay. He'd arrange a payment and

957
01:22:08.239 --> 01:22:11.880
he'd pay probably as much as any of the other clubs.

958
01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:14.239
Maybe not the comedy store, but you know of like

959
01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:17.359
the normal club. So whether it was one hundred quid

960
01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:23.560
or whatever it was back then, that's it paid the acts.

961
01:22:23.600 --> 01:22:30.800
That money, so guaranteed he got decent acts and everyone

962
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:35.319
liked him. Everyone respected him, and he did compare himself.

963
01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:40.079
But the audience because he was friends for the audience.

964
01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:43.039
It's almost like he invited his friends to come along

965
01:22:43.600 --> 01:22:47.680
and it was a Z party. It was a really

966
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:56.319
nice atmosphere, really really nice. So I'm thinking, if I

967
01:22:56.399 --> 01:22:59.319
was going to say my favorite stand up to me

968
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.039
edian in this country out of those that I met

969
01:23:04.680 --> 01:23:12.800
whilst doing comedy or ones that I saw on stage, Oh,

970
01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:24.319
Stewart Lee number one. Stewart Lee. Yeah, A short answer,

971
01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:30.880
So yeah, Stewart Lee was my I was going to

972
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:37.239
say he's probably my favorite. Now, the answer would have

973
01:23:37.239 --> 01:23:42.920
been different. In the nineties, I had a few. I

974
01:23:42.960 --> 01:23:45.920
would say my favorite. For a while, my favorite comedian

975
01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:50.880
was Mark Thomas. Absolutely loved Mark Thomas, and I wanted

976
01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:55.239
to be him. I was never going to be him,

977
01:23:55.760 --> 01:24:02.399
but I wanted to be him because I just it

978
01:24:02.479 --> 01:24:05.960
was nice to me. But that again, so was. I

979
01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:11.960
used to see Stewart Lee quite often. I did quite

980
01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:14.720
a few gigs with him, and he was always nice

981
01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.439
to me and he treated me as an equal, and

982
01:24:17.479 --> 01:24:23.600
I wasn't you know. He was a headliner and he's

983
01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.560
got a huge following around the world. Actually, but he's

984
01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:30.680
got a huge following and he does a lot of

985
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:36.159
live gigs. I think he's written books, he's had DVD.

986
01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:41.000
You know, he's done specials on Amazon or Netflix, one

987
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:47.560
of them. But he doesn't He was never up himself

988
01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:54.479
and he never put me down. Even though I was

989
01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:58.520
pretty much useless at the old stand up. He was

990
01:24:59.479 --> 01:25:02.920
nice to me. I did find that quite often with

991
01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:06.039
some of the really good comedians. They didn't need to

992
01:25:06.079 --> 01:25:14.920
be horrible because they were very secure, I guess in

993
01:25:14.960 --> 01:25:20.159
their own abilities. There's some other comedians I will mention,

994
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:23.920
so Stuart Lee will be I put him at the top. Now,

995
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:30.800
in the nineties there was a few that it's one

996
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:40.399
particular one, Mark Lamar. Now, Mark Lamar did comedy. He

997
01:25:40.439 --> 01:25:42.359
didn't do it for a long time before he was

998
01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:46.920
discovered and got on TV. So I saw him quite

999
01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:51.039
I saw it quite a few times before he got

1000
01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:53.720
on TV and he started doing a Big Brother and

1001
01:25:53.720 --> 01:26:00.279
then The Big Breakfast rather the Word and this early nineties,

1002
01:26:01.800 --> 01:26:05.079
and then he did the never Mind the Buzzcocks. He

1003
01:26:05.199 --> 01:26:09.039
did a couple of other things as well, so he's

1004
01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:14.439
you know, he established himself as a TV star, and

1005
01:26:14.520 --> 01:26:17.119
he's got radio shows. I think he still does radio

1006
01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:25.159
shows now. I remember in about late nineties, maybe two

1007
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:35.640
thousand he he was doing. He came and did a gig,

1008
01:26:36.880 --> 01:26:39.560
but he was doing a live I don't know if

1009
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:41.520
he did a gig or he just now I think

1010
01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:45.319
he actually did a gig. It was like my friends,

1011
01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:52.560
it was the celebration of the the tenth anniversary of

1012
01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:56.640
the Comedy Club something like that. So Mark Lamar, quite

1013
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:59.159
a few other big names came along and did a show.

1014
01:26:59.479 --> 01:27:02.159
So it was a special, like one off thing. Maybe

1015
01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.880
it was for charity something like that. And so Mark

1016
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:09.119
Laura was there and I said to him, I didn't.

1017
01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:11.399
I don't even know if he remembers me, but if

1018
01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:13.279
he remembered me at that point, because I've done a

1019
01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:19.000
gigs with him, you know, eight nine years earlier. But

1020
01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:23.399
I said to him, you know what it's really weird.

1021
01:27:24.800 --> 01:27:27.960
It's what's to do? What's weird about you? And he

1022
01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:34.880
looked at me like uh huh. And I said, what

1023
01:27:34.960 --> 01:27:42.960
I don't understand is you go, You're on TV, so

1024
01:27:43.039 --> 01:27:44.920
you're big style, so you can making lots of money

1025
01:27:44.960 --> 01:27:52.600
and stuff, but you never you don't. I didn't, I

1026
01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:55.079
didn't say it rudely, but you don't. You don't come

1027
01:27:55.119 --> 01:28:00.520
across your your stand up ability does not come across

1028
01:28:00.560 --> 01:28:04.359
on TV and he said, what do you mean? I said,

1029
01:28:04.760 --> 01:28:08.600
it's like when you're doing the word and when you

1030
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:13.720
were doing what people don't realize is that you were

1031
01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:20.439
one of the best comedians this country had. So he

1032
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:25.359
started listening to me. Now, what Mark lamarcud do is?

1033
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.520
I once saw him on stage and it was at

1034
01:28:31.560 --> 01:28:39.439
the looking forward to Christmas this year?

1035
01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:41.119
Do do.

1036
01:28:42.680 --> 01:28:42.840
Do?

1037
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:51.840
I want to celebrate Christmas because I want to make

1038
01:28:51.920 --> 01:28:54.640
some changes. I know I've moved on from I'm coming

1039
01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:58.640
back to make Wamma. It's really got me thinking though

1040
01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:15.239
the last month is maybe miss introspection, isn't it, but

1041
01:29:15.359 --> 01:29:19.119
also outrospection because I'm also looking at my surroundings. It's

1042
01:29:19.119 --> 01:29:23.439
not really just how do I feel, but looking around

1043
01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:33.079
and having a different perspective because you know, since two

1044
01:29:33.159 --> 01:29:46.840
thousand this will be like one, two, three, four, potentially

1045
01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:53.279
four losses, you know, just in those five years, and

1046
01:29:54.399 --> 01:29:56.560
two of the biggest losses of my life was Luke

1047
01:29:56.800 --> 01:30:00.840
and Andre. So without getting all heavy and stuff is

1048
01:30:01.680 --> 01:30:06.840
and now with Uncle Sausages, I'm just like, perhaps I

1049
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:12.880
need to be a bit more appreciative of what I

1050
01:30:12.920 --> 01:30:22.479
do have. Yeah, And I'm thinking I always loved Christmas

1051
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:25.840
when I was a kid. I haven't loved Christmas since

1052
01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:29.359
I was a kid, but I do love the build

1053
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:32.720
up to Christmas. Christmas itself is a time when I'm

1054
01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:37.279
on my own, and I don't I'm not particularly jolly,

1055
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:43.399
but I do like the build up. And really I

1056
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:51.399
think the thing that's missing is probably just being a

1057
01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:55.640
kid again, having loads of presents. You know, I suppose

1058
01:30:55.640 --> 01:30:59.399
I quite like to just go back to that. And

1059
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:04.680
I can't go back to that, but just be opening

1060
01:31:04.720 --> 01:31:11.079
loads of presents on Christmas morning in my pajamas in

1061
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:17.159
the park. Yeah, I don't know, but yeah, just just anyway,

1062
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:24.399
back to Mark Lamar. I once saw him Stretten, not Stretton.

1063
01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:32.079
It wasn't Stretton how it doesn't matter. But it was

1064
01:31:32.119 --> 01:31:38.760
a big, big, big gig. There was probably three hundred

1065
01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:42.520
people there at least. That was quite big for a gig,

1066
01:31:42.640 --> 01:31:45.279
like in a comedy circuit. But it was back then,

1067
01:31:47.920 --> 01:31:53.079
and he'd just been to see what he said, He

1068
01:31:53.159 --> 01:32:00.199
had just been to see a what's his name? The

1069
01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:12.079
the wrapper. Okay, no, can't fix this, do do do not.

1070
01:32:12.399 --> 01:32:17.880
Can't fix this, can't fix this, can't beat this, can't

1071
01:32:19.479 --> 01:32:27.399
mc hammer what does this? Can't fix this whatever? Anyway,

1072
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:29.560
it was mc hammer, So we went to see mc

1073
01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:36.319
hammer at Wembley. I think, well, maybe I'm sure he

1074
01:32:36.319 --> 01:32:38.840
said Hyde Park, but why would mc hammer be at

1075
01:32:38.920 --> 01:32:42.119
Hyde Park. That's going to be it. I'm going to

1076
01:32:42.199 --> 01:33:00.159
google that mc hammer hammer at Hyde Park, Hyde Park

1077
01:33:01.159 --> 01:33:15.359
nineteen ninety nineteen ninety one. Wow, images of mc hammer

1078
01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:29.359
at na Hyde Park in nineteen ninety one. Really, he

1079
01:33:29.479 --> 01:33:36.000
was like, what a weird thing to remember he did

1080
01:33:36.119 --> 01:33:39.239
forty eight concerts on his world tour in ninety one,

1081
01:33:40.039 --> 01:33:49.560
so let's just go to UK. So he did. He

1082
01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:56.560
came to the UK May twoententy thirteen, Wembley Stadium, Wembley Stadium,

1083
01:33:56.640 --> 01:34:04.199
Wendley Stadium, Wembley Stadium, and then GMCH Center which is

1084
01:34:04.239 --> 01:34:10.680
in Manchester, Wembley Arena. I went to, Yeah, well, Wembley Arena,

1085
01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:20.800
Wembley Arena, National Exhibition Center. That's third of May, second

1086
01:34:20.800 --> 01:34:27.640
of May. Let's go next. So where this this sounds

1087
01:34:27.680 --> 01:34:37.199
about right in the summer, but where is it? Where

1088
01:34:37.199 --> 01:34:40.880
does it say? Hyde Park? I'll not seen anything any

1089
01:34:41.000 --> 01:34:50.079
Hyde Park, Wembley Arena. Maybe it was just an appearance.

1090
01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:52.359
I don't know. I can't see any Hyde Park here,

1091
01:34:52.920 --> 01:34:54.600
but when I put it in it did come up

1092
01:34:55.399 --> 01:35:17.800
Hyde Park. Please don't hurt world tour. That's weird. There's

1093
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:28.600
actually a video on YouTube. It says classic. Maybe it

1094
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:33.000
was at Wembley, it was somewhere. I mean it was

1095
01:35:33.079 --> 01:35:35.680
quite late, to be fair. I think he went on

1096
01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:40.880
stage about eleven or ten or eleven. Mark Lamar did so.

1097
01:35:41.039 --> 01:35:43.520
Maybe he had been to the concert and he came

1098
01:35:43.560 --> 01:35:48.720
straight there. But I said what he did. He talked

1099
01:35:48.720 --> 01:35:51.640
about mc hammer. But there was one point where there

1100
01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:55.439
was someone sitting on a table in front of the

1101
01:35:55.560 --> 01:35:59.640
stage and Mark Lamar looked down at him and the

1102
01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:07.279
bloke was just looking at the table and Mark Lamar sick.

1103
01:36:07.359 --> 01:36:11.119
He says, Mark, Mark, he got about ten minutes worth

1104
01:36:11.159 --> 01:36:14.840
of material just by the person looking at the table.

1105
01:36:16.600 --> 01:36:23.199
He was that good. He just ad libbed. That's what

1106
01:36:23.439 --> 01:36:26.159
he was so good at. I mean, I know he

1107
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:29.640
had material and he probably used maybe he used some

1108
01:36:29.720 --> 01:36:33.000
of it before, you know, but he was he could talk.

1109
01:36:33.439 --> 01:36:43.159
He could It wasn't all rehearsed. That was so he

1110
01:36:43.279 --> 01:36:46.319
was so good. Honestly, it's one of the best stand

1111
01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:51.119
up comedians I ever saw, as far as skill and

1112
01:36:51.359 --> 01:36:59.680
how he could just get material out of nothing. And

1113
01:36:59.880 --> 01:37:02.359
I remember saying that to him and he said, well,

1114
01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:06.680
he agreed with me. Actually, very few people would disagree

1115
01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:10.239
when you tell them that they're great. But he said

1116
01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:15.000
because he was on tour. He just finished his tour

1117
01:37:15.960 --> 01:37:18.760
and he hadn't been on tour for years. He did

1118
01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:21.720
a tour when he first got famous, and he did

1119
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:26.000
another one. This is probably ninety nine, two thousand, something

1120
01:37:26.039 --> 01:37:29.880
like that, and he said he couldn't believe the amount

1121
01:37:29.880 --> 01:37:32.920
of people that came up to him afterwards and said, well,

1122
01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:37.000
that was really funny. Didn't speak to be that funny.

1123
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:39.199
Why did you come and see me?

1124
01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:39.439
Then?

1125
01:37:41.039 --> 01:37:42.600
So they were going to see him because he was

1126
01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:48.600
hosted never mind the Buzzcocks. He was a television celebrity,

1127
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:53.560
but they they didn't realize that he was really funny.

1128
01:37:54.439 --> 01:38:04.000
Like I mean, stand up, I mean and yeah, i'd

1129
01:38:04.079 --> 01:38:12.399
say now Stewart Lee, Oh wow, I forgot one of

1130
01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:24.159
the main the main people. What's his name, Sean Locke.

1131
01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:25.640
I'm trying to think. I was going to try and

1132
01:38:25.680 --> 01:38:31.119
look it up, but yeah, sew lock Sew Locke. He

1133
01:38:31.399 --> 01:38:35.560
I'm thoughtunate he's not around anymore, but he was there

1134
01:38:35.640 --> 01:38:42.520
was two comedians comedians there was when I was on

1135
01:38:42.560 --> 01:38:47.760
the circuit. There's only two comedians that really everyone got.

1136
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:49.960
All the other comedians seemed to get excited to watch.

1137
01:38:52.279 --> 01:38:59.239
One of them was Eddiezard and the other album was

1138
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:04.359
Sewn Mark. Those two were the ones where people would

1139
01:39:04.560 --> 01:39:07.159
the comedians would go and see them, or if they

1140
01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:09.720
were doing a gig. They's say, if they were doing

1141
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:11.600
a show in a theater or they're doing a gig,

1142
01:39:11.880 --> 01:39:15.760
they'd turn up to watch them perform because they were

1143
01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:20.880
so good. That Eddie Yizard was He was the king

1144
01:39:22.239 --> 01:39:26.319
of stand up in the nineties. I mean he he'd

1145
01:39:26.359 --> 01:39:30.399
already I tell you what he did, Eddiezard he or

1146
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:37.000
she now? But what Eddie? What Eddie did? Edi Eddie?

1147
01:39:37.720 --> 01:39:43.680
What Eddie did was I think he actually paid to

1148
01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:48.159
rent out a theater in the West End and he

1149
01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:54.960
put on his own show and it became a huge success.

1150
01:39:58.319 --> 01:40:03.000
And I think I swim twice live. He compared this show.

1151
01:40:03.359 --> 01:40:06.000
It was like a small gig, but it was his.

1152
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:14.000
It was his gig, and the audience were there to

1153
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:18.560
see him. You know, they weren't there to see the

1154
01:40:18.560 --> 01:40:21.439
other acts they see, They're just to see him. And

1155
01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:24.199
they would have been happy just to watch him all

1156
01:40:24.279 --> 01:40:28.720
night because he was so good. And Sean Locke was

1157
01:40:28.760 --> 01:40:32.920
another one where people would the other comedians would get

1158
01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:37.239
excited to see him. So the comedians comedian, both of

1159
01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:40.239
them were kind of at the top of the list

1160
01:40:40.319 --> 01:40:45.359
back then. The amount of times I heard people saying, oh,

1161
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:49.880
seank Lock's on at the Is it the comedy store tonight,

1162
01:40:49.960 --> 01:40:52.159
or is it a comedy cafe or is the Jonglers?

1163
01:40:52.600 --> 01:40:56.039
And the comedians that could they'd finished their night, they'd

1164
01:40:56.079 --> 01:41:01.960
go and see him. It happened less with Eddie Is

1165
01:41:02.359 --> 01:41:08.960
because he was famous earlier, so he was doing sold

1166
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:14.039
out theaters and travel in the world, you know, So

1167
01:41:14.680 --> 01:41:18.840
he was kind of the most famous comedian pretty much

1168
01:41:19.479 --> 01:41:29.119
from the circuit at that time. All time favorite comedians, Yeah,

1169
01:41:29.119 --> 01:41:33.640
so I'm going to say Stewart Lee, but I've respected

1170
01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:40.600
lots of them. And Alan Davis I really liked him

1171
01:41:41.039 --> 01:41:43.840
and he was always really nice to me, although he

1172
01:41:43.920 --> 01:41:49.680
was a little cheeky. So Alan Davis's he's gone. He

1173
01:41:49.720 --> 01:41:55.640
went on to do TV shows and stuff, and he's

1174
01:41:57.880 --> 01:41:59.600
what is that there's a TV show that he's on

1175
01:41:59.680 --> 01:42:03.279
regular A couple of TV shows, a regularly but I

1176
01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:05.319
remember I did a gig with him and I said

1177
01:42:05.359 --> 01:42:10.640
to him, if this doesn't go well, I'm quitting. Because

1178
01:42:10.680 --> 01:42:13.039
he used to chat to me. He was he was

1179
01:42:13.039 --> 01:42:17.840
a headline act, clearly going places, he'd won awards, and

1180
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:21.399
he was just so down to earth and friendly to me.

1181
01:42:22.359 --> 01:42:27.880
Didn't you know some comedians weren't, but he was. So

1182
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:32.520
he's very friendly and he just laughed and we just

1183
01:42:32.560 --> 01:42:34.840
have a laugh and he said, I said, if this

1184
01:42:34.920 --> 01:42:39.079
doesn't work out tonight, I'm quitting. And the next time

1185
01:42:39.159 --> 01:42:46.560
I see him a gig, is it a different gig?

1186
01:42:46.600 --> 01:42:48.479
But I walk in and sit down and he said, oh,

1187
01:42:48.520 --> 01:42:53.680
I thought you'd quit, And he started laughing. And I

1188
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.399
thought it was so cheeky because it didn't go very

1189
01:42:56.399 --> 01:43:01.600
well that gig that i'd had. I really and it

1190
01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:05.479
really it tickled him. But the fact is that he

1191
01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:09.359
remembered me. It's like, okay, it's nice. It's nice to

1192
01:43:09.399 --> 01:43:16.000
be remembered by someone that is in that world. He

1193
01:43:16.239 --> 01:43:21.880
was a superstar like Eddie Izzard, Mark Lamar, Mark, Thomas,

1194
01:43:22.760 --> 01:43:27.119
Kevin Day. The list is quite long, to be fair,

1195
01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:30.640
but they were all really big stars on the circuit.

1196
01:43:31.279 --> 01:43:34.119
They were super even if they were on TV yet

1197
01:43:34.479 --> 01:43:39.239
Harry Hill, people like that, you just knew. It was

1198
01:43:39.279 --> 01:43:40.880
so obvious that they were going to go on to

1199
01:43:40.960 --> 01:43:48.279
be TV stars. Ardlow Handlon, although I never met him,

1200
01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:53.439
it's yeah. And then there was others that never became

1201
01:43:53.520 --> 01:43:57.239
TV stars, and they were just as good, just as funny.

1202
01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:03.399
For whatever reason, they didn't go on to be big stars.

1203
01:44:03.880 --> 01:44:10.479
Someone like booth By Grafo, phenomenal performer, but he never

1204
01:44:10.520 --> 01:44:14.199
went on to be a huge star. There was another one,

1205
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:18.319
I forget his name, but he was doing theaters. He

1206
01:44:18.439 --> 01:44:22.720
was really doing well, but he never went on to

1207
01:44:22.760 --> 01:44:26.439
be a star, never went on to be on TV

1208
01:44:26.600 --> 01:44:30.720
or anything like that. And it's not because his material

1209
01:44:30.880 --> 01:44:36.720
was adult, because it wasn't. I don't know what happened.

1210
01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:43.159
It's not everyone fits the mold, I suppose or not.

1211
01:44:43.199 --> 01:44:54.920
Everyone fits in with what the TV people want. Yeah,

1212
01:44:55.319 --> 01:44:58.399
I'm going to stick with Steward Lee. But as far

1213
01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:03.319
as heroes, I would say Mark Thomas for he was

1214
01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:06.760
one of my heroes a comedy. But I really I

1215
01:45:06.840 --> 01:45:10.119
really liked Stewart Lee because we used to chat and stuff,

1216
01:45:10.119 --> 01:45:12.880
so he was always nice. He actually he used to

1217
01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:17.399
be able to forget what the right word is, but

1218
01:45:17.560 --> 01:45:24.960
he could break down someone's act and tell me a joke.

1219
01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:32.199
So he would tell me a joke in another person's style. So,

1220
01:45:32.479 --> 01:45:35.119
for example, he said, oh, Mark Thomas, because I think

1221
01:45:35.119 --> 01:45:38.600
I was gushing about Mark Thomas to him. He said, okay,

1222
01:45:38.800 --> 01:45:41.640
here's what Mark Thomas does, and he told me a joke.

1223
01:45:43.399 --> 01:45:45.600
He basically said something and this, this is a joke

1224
01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:52.039
in the style of Mark Thomas. And it was as like, okay,

1225
01:45:52.279 --> 01:45:54.960
but it didn't have the same delivery as Mark Thomas

1226
01:45:55.560 --> 01:45:59.960
because stew at least very laid back, very chilled out.

1227
01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:05.159
Mark Thomas is very kind of edgy. He was quite

1228
01:46:05.279 --> 01:46:09.000
edgy back then, and he wasn't He talked fast. And

1229
01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.079
I absolutely adored Mark Thomas, I really did. I used

1230
01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:15.920
to see him and he actually put me on the list,

1231
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:18.600
gave me a telephone number. He put me on the

1232
01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:22.960
What's it a list for his Comedy Store performance, So

1233
01:46:23.000 --> 01:46:26.399
I went along and watched it, and he was really cool.

1234
01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:30.640
And there's also someone that remembers, who remembers people. So

1235
01:46:30.680 --> 01:46:33.880
I saw him years later when I was dealing with

1236
01:46:33.920 --> 01:46:36.479
the comedy club and he walked in with his shorts

1237
01:46:36.520 --> 01:46:39.199
on because he was doing a charity gig and he

1238
01:46:39.399 --> 01:46:44.279
turns up. You're right, Like like I saw him yesterday

1239
01:46:44.640 --> 01:46:48.119
and he was just like a normal person. Neither a

1240
01:46:48.199 --> 01:46:52.960
normal person, but you know, to me, regardless whether he's

1241
01:46:52.960 --> 01:46:55.920
still on TV or not, he'll always be a star

1242
01:46:56.920 --> 01:47:04.319
because he was. He you know, another person you could

1243
01:47:04.359 --> 01:47:08.520
say put it, you could argue saying the most famous

1244
01:47:08.560 --> 01:47:11.720
person is I used to know. I used to do

1245
01:47:11.840 --> 01:47:13.479
a lot of gigs with this person. And he's also

1246
01:47:13.560 --> 01:47:16.600
someone that I used to talk to quite a lot.

1247
01:47:16.720 --> 01:47:20.039
He was nice. He was at university while he was

1248
01:47:20.760 --> 01:47:25.720
doing comedy, and then he went on to be well known,

1249
01:47:25.760 --> 01:47:30.560
to be a really headliner act and think and wrote books,

1250
01:47:30.600 --> 01:47:33.199
did radio, did some TV, all that kind of stuff.

1251
01:47:33.239 --> 01:47:41.800
And Spider Man's dad Tom Holland, not to Tom Holland's dad,

1252
01:47:42.159 --> 01:47:48.039
so don't Spider Man Tom Holland. His dad is Dominic Holland,

1253
01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:54.840
and he's a stand up comedian. That's really weird because

1254
01:47:54.880 --> 01:47:59.760
I met him long before Tom Holland was born, before

1255
01:48:01.920 --> 01:48:05.199
I guess before he was married, before Dominique got married

1256
01:48:05.199 --> 01:48:13.640
and stuff and had kids, still at university, and it

1257
01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:17.880
was so lovely, so friendly. Another one, Harry Hill was

1258
01:48:17.920 --> 01:48:23.159
really friendly. He's a bit of Sha'll give you a

1259
01:48:23.199 --> 01:48:30.399
little bit of information about Harry Hill that you wouldn't

1260
01:48:30.439 --> 01:48:35.760
know unless I told you, unless you already knew. You

1261
01:48:35.760 --> 01:48:38.239
wouldn't know unless you know. If you already knew, then

1262
01:48:38.399 --> 01:48:46.640
there's nothing new. I think in about ninety I think

1263
01:48:46.720 --> 01:48:52.159
it was ninety two, Harry Hill. It was almost like

1264
01:48:52.359 --> 01:48:55.239
they knew he was going to be a star, and

1265
01:48:55.279 --> 01:48:57.520
he went on to be a star. I mean, he

1266
01:48:57.600 --> 01:49:01.319
still is a star. He's a very famous TV celebrity

1267
01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:06.159
and I used to love watching him on TV when

1268
01:49:06.199 --> 01:49:10.760
he did his TV burp. It's funny, It's really funny.

1269
01:49:11.119 --> 01:49:18.720
So I saw him rifle at the beginning. And they

1270
01:49:19.159 --> 01:49:23.760
announced in time out and maybe somewhere else that they

1271
01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:27.560
had changed his name because initially his name was Harry Hall,

1272
01:49:28.479 --> 01:49:34.039
h doubleel and they announced Harry Hall will now be

1273
01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:40.680
changing his name to Harry Hill because another celebrity or

1274
01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.680
performer had the name Harry Hall, and they were not

1275
01:49:43.760 --> 01:49:47.880
happy that he was using that name, and they had

1276
01:49:47.880 --> 01:49:57.640
it registered with whoever you register your name with. So

1277
01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:01.600
Harry Hall was his original name, then he changed it

1278
01:50:01.640 --> 01:50:06.039
to Harry Hill. And let me see, so I'm going

1279
01:50:06.119 --> 01:50:08.359
to check this up. Let's see what it comes up

1280
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:20.960
on his So Harry Hill. Look at his Wikipedia page right,

1281
01:50:22.880 --> 01:50:32.000
born Matthew Keith Hall. That's his actual name is Harry

1282
01:50:32.119 --> 01:50:37.000
a short name for Matthew. I don't know. So his

1283
01:50:37.479 --> 01:50:48.199
original stand up name was Harry Hall. Blimey. He won

1284
01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:51.279
the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer at nineteen ninety two

1285
01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:57.039
Edward Festival Fringe Best Newcomer here I remember that, and

1286
01:50:57.079 --> 01:51:02.800
then he went on to He did Harry Hill's TV

1287
01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:09.800
Burp from two thousand and one to twenty twelve. Wow,

1288
01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:17.680
I still love watching that. Oh he did You've Been Framed? Yeah,

1289
01:51:17.720 --> 01:51:20.359
so he's but he's another one that was really lovely.

1290
01:51:21.359 --> 01:51:24.159
He seemed to turn into his character though, So he've

1291
01:51:24.199 --> 01:51:27.079
got this character on stage, and I noticed that he

1292
01:51:27.159 --> 01:51:31.159
seemed to be when I saw him offstage, which is

1293
01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:35.359
fairly often before gigs, it seemed like he was just

1294
01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:38.680
turning into that person. Maybe that just was the person,

1295
01:51:42.319 --> 01:51:46.720
but he was definitely brilliant, brilliant Comedians saw them loads

1296
01:51:46.760 --> 01:51:49.680
of times, very funny. But yeah, I'm going to stick

1297
01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:56.920
with Stewart Lee because the deconstruction that he does are

1298
01:51:57.079 --> 01:52:02.239
like that, he kind of deconstruc ducks his own jokes

1299
01:52:03.600 --> 01:52:11.239
before he tells them, and it's so well written, and

1300
01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:14.880
my stomach's gurgling, which makes me think, when did I

1301
01:52:14.920 --> 01:52:19.960
have my breakfast? Six thirty? Oh, it's time to have

1302
01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:27.159
something to eat. Yeah, Stuart Lee. The next question in

1303
01:52:27.960 --> 01:52:31.680
which member of the royal family do you like the most? Now,

1304
01:52:31.840 --> 01:52:36.560
I'm not saying this to be controversial, but none of them. No,

1305
01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:39.359
I'm not saying this to be controversial, but the only

1306
01:52:40.000 --> 01:52:44.840
member the royal family that I ever really liked other

1307
01:52:44.880 --> 01:52:50.600
than the Queen would be Princess Diana. Princess Dinah was

1308
01:52:50.600 --> 01:52:53.479
my favorite. Now I realize you're probably talking about ones

1309
01:52:53.520 --> 01:52:58.239
that are still alive. I don't have any. I don't

1310
01:52:58.239 --> 01:53:01.039
really feel any connection with any of them. To be

1311
01:53:01.039 --> 01:53:06.720
honest with you, I felt, I don't know, not connection.

1312
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:10.279
But I love Princess Diana. Not loved her, but I

1313
01:53:10.399 --> 01:53:13.960
just she was from a very early age, she was

1314
01:53:15.039 --> 01:53:18.800
the princess. She was the most famous member of the

1315
01:53:18.840 --> 01:53:23.199
royal family. Really, and then you've got the Queen, and

1316
01:53:23.239 --> 01:53:30.960
I've grown up seeing the Queen. But I've never I

1317
01:53:31.159 --> 01:53:36.159
really have not had much interest in a royal family ever.

1318
01:53:36.600 --> 01:53:40.560
I was just I've seen I've watched two raw weddings

1319
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:45.359
I watched the Princess Diana and Prince Charles at the time,

1320
01:53:45.399 --> 01:53:51.560
Prince Charles now King Charles, and I watched the Prince

1321
01:53:51.640 --> 01:53:59.840
Andrew and Fergie getting married Sarah Ferguson get married in

1322
01:54:00.520 --> 01:54:09.199
was it nineteen eighty seven. I think outside of that,

1323
01:54:09.239 --> 01:54:16.319
I've not watched any of the other weddings, and I think,

1324
01:54:16.520 --> 01:54:25.119
really the way that they're being treated by the press,

1325
01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:31.039
and yeah, I just I just don't. I'm not. It's

1326
01:54:31.039 --> 01:54:36.439
almost like the if you read the newspapers so much

1327
01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:38.800
about the royal family and none of it interests me.

1328
01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:43.079
So yeah, it's not really if you're in this country

1329
01:54:43.239 --> 01:54:47.479
the royal families, either you really like them or you're

1330
01:54:47.479 --> 01:54:51.359
not bothered. I mean knows some people are anti, but

1331
01:54:51.439 --> 01:54:54.359
I'm not anti anything, really, not really. You know, I'm

1332
01:54:54.399 --> 01:54:59.319
not that interested in it to be against it, but yeah,

1333
01:54:59.439 --> 01:55:03.880
not really. He never really been that involved in the

1334
01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:07.560
royal family a mini Even the other day I was

1335
01:55:07.600 --> 01:55:10.600
in the hospital because I've been going up and down

1336
01:55:10.640 --> 01:55:14.159
for a month to the hospital to see mister Sausages,

1337
01:55:14.439 --> 01:55:17.720
and a couple of weeks ago, there was all these

1338
01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:23.439
police and security and cameras and stuff. I didn't realize

1339
01:55:23.520 --> 01:55:30.000
it was Prince Williams's wife was there. My stomach proper gurgling.

1340
01:55:31.239 --> 01:55:33.479
I didn't know she was there. I couldn't see her

1341
01:55:33.479 --> 01:55:37.399
because she was surrounded by police and camera people. It's

1342
01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:40.840
only when I left I was told, oh, yeah, Princess

1343
01:55:41.039 --> 01:55:49.000
of Wales was there. I thought, no. See this is how,

1344
01:55:52.319 --> 01:55:54.439
this is how my mind works, and it's very small

1345
01:55:54.479 --> 01:55:56.960
minded and it's very petty. There's only ever going to

1346
01:55:56.960 --> 01:56:02.439
be one Princess of Wales during my lifetime, and that

1347
01:56:02.600 --> 01:56:07.560
is Prince what's her name, Diana, And it's only ever

1348
01:56:07.600 --> 01:56:10.359
going to be one queen, and that's the Queen. I know.

1349
01:56:10.399 --> 01:56:13.239
There's going to be other queens. There might, hopefully there'll

1350
01:56:13.239 --> 01:56:16.439
be another queen in my lifetime, if I'm lucky enough

1351
01:56:16.439 --> 01:56:28.000
to see Kate become queen. But to me, my queen

1352
01:56:28.319 --> 01:56:32.760
is the queen, you know, the proper queen that was

1353
01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:36.000
a queen for thousands of years or whatever, you know

1354
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:39.920
that passed away three years ago. She was my queen

1355
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:44.279
and Princess Diana was the only Prince of Wales, Princess

1356
01:56:44.279 --> 01:56:49.720
of Wales, and Prince Charles was the only only Prince

1357
01:56:49.720 --> 01:56:53.199
of Wales. It's weird, although you know, his son's now

1358
01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:56.840
Prince of Wales. So I don't really recognize that, don't

1359
01:56:57.600 --> 01:57:00.319
I don't not recognize it. It's just when I think

1360
01:57:00.359 --> 01:57:04.720
of the Princess of Wells, I think of Diana. I

1361
01:57:04.760 --> 01:57:07.800
can't help it. And I know that she hasn't been

1362
01:57:07.840 --> 01:57:11.680
around for twenty five years, but hey, no, nearly twenty

1363
01:57:11.680 --> 01:57:15.079
by only twenty eight years. I just that's just what

1364
01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:22.319
I remember. That's what part of my memory, because there

1365
01:57:22.319 --> 01:57:26.520
hasn't been a princessa Wells is there until more recently,

1366
01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:31.920
like I don't know whenever what's her name, Mary, Prince William.

1367
01:57:32.319 --> 01:57:36.600
So yeah, I don't like any of them. I don't

1368
01:57:36.640 --> 01:57:39.319
dislike them. Don't get me wrong. I've got no issue

1369
01:57:39.319 --> 01:57:42.600
with any of them. But I don't. I don't have

1370
01:57:42.680 --> 01:57:50.319
any kind of feelings about them. It just, yeah, it's

1371
01:57:50.359 --> 01:57:59.159
a different world. They have a different life to me.

1372
01:57:59.319 --> 01:58:02.079
I've never had been anywhere close to that kind of lifestyle,

1373
01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:06.239
and I don't understand it, and they don't understand my lifestyle.

1374
01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:13.079
Is Yeah, it's beyond understanding to be raised in a

1375
01:58:13.159 --> 01:58:18.920
palace and having everything done for you, never ever having

1376
01:58:18.960 --> 01:58:24.199
to be concerned about money, and you know, just those

1377
01:58:24.279 --> 01:58:28.319
kinds of things. But again, at the same time, I

1378
01:58:28.359 --> 01:58:33.760
don't have to be concerned about, you know, thinking where

1379
01:58:33.800 --> 01:58:34.279
am I going to?

1380
01:58:36.279 --> 01:58:36.319
What?

1381
01:58:38.560 --> 01:58:42.399
Where shall I go on holiday? And where shall I

1382
01:58:43.840 --> 01:58:46.960
what what kind of really expensive food shall I today,

1383
01:58:46.960 --> 01:58:51.960
because that's what they've got to worry about. H I

1384
01:58:52.039 --> 01:58:55.279
don't know what it would be like. I don't know,

1385
01:58:56.079 --> 01:59:03.239
so I don't really relate to it. That's a proper

1386
01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:12.199
gurglar tummy wow. But at the same time, I know

1387
01:59:12.359 --> 01:59:15.039
that the royal family is very popular in other countries,

1388
01:59:16.920 --> 01:59:26.119
but here it's not really It's like I don't know,

1389
01:59:26.319 --> 01:59:28.560
I don't get I mean, I'm not really in touch

1390
01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:33.920
with the common man woman, I guess because I'm so secluded,

1391
01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:37.600
so I probably I can't really talk on behalf of anyone.

1392
01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:42.680
But myself, I am aware that whenever it is a

1393
01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:47.600
raw function, the streets are full of people, you know,

1394
01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:51.800
whether it's a marriage, whether whatever, the you know, millions

1395
01:59:51.800 --> 01:59:55.159
of well hundreds of thousands of people pave the streets.

1396
01:59:56.279 --> 01:59:59.520
I also know it's in London, and a lot of

1397
01:59:59.520 --> 02:00:03.479
those people going to be tourists, so they're not all

1398
02:00:03.560 --> 02:00:06.239
going to be people from England that are kind of

1399
02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:11.640
you know, into the Royal family. So some people are

1400
02:00:11.640 --> 02:00:13.199
There's going to be some people that are absolutely a

1401
02:00:13.359 --> 02:00:17.680
daughter or family and have got nothing but royal memorabilia

1402
02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:22.680
around their house. And there's other people that are all

1403
02:00:22.720 --> 02:00:27.439
about our republic and they don't want royalty and all

1404
02:00:27.479 --> 02:00:31.920
that stuff. I'm not on either side. It is what

1405
02:00:31.960 --> 02:00:36.640
it is. It's here. I don't watch any of the

1406
02:00:36.800 --> 02:00:42.600
raw stuff on TV. Just don't. Yeah, it's not really something.

1407
02:00:43.800 --> 02:00:47.680
I did watch the coronation of the Coronation Street of

1408
02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:54.479
Prince Charles becoming King Charles. I watched that because it

1409
02:00:54.520 --> 02:00:59.359
was such an iconic moment and the chance of seeing

1410
02:01:00.119 --> 02:01:08.880
Harmonic being crowned. It's something that I'd never seen before live,

1411
02:01:09.439 --> 02:01:11.239
you know. I think they might be film footage of

1412
02:01:11.279 --> 02:01:14.960
the Queen being crowned in eighteen forty two whatever when

1413
02:01:15.079 --> 02:01:22.119
she was crowned, but it was, Yeah, it's an iconic moment,

1414
02:01:22.159 --> 02:01:27.920
so I watched that. So I quite like that. I

1415
02:01:27.920 --> 02:01:35.239
suppose if you'd have asked me this question twenty years

1416
02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:41.720
ago or fifteen years ago, my favorite roles would have

1417
02:01:41.840 --> 02:01:45.600
been William and Harry. So when they were young men,

1418
02:01:45.640 --> 02:01:51.479
when they were like in their twenties, Harry was a

1419
02:01:51.520 --> 02:01:55.600
funny lad. He was cheeky and he was getting up

1420
02:01:55.600 --> 02:01:59.560
to no good and you know, and William Owes came

1421
02:01:59.600 --> 02:02:02.359
across a nice Both of them came across as nice.

1422
02:02:03.880 --> 02:02:06.239
And then as they got older, they both went and

1423
02:02:06.279 --> 02:02:11.279
did a lot of stuff for charity. I think Harry

1424
02:02:11.319 --> 02:02:18.439
did the Invictor Games, William did a lot for mental

1425
02:02:18.439 --> 02:02:23.880
health charities. And it's I've always I think I've always

1426
02:02:23.880 --> 02:02:26.920
had a little bit of a soft spot for those kids.

1427
02:02:26.960 --> 02:02:30.079
Firstly because I saw them, remember seeing them being not

1428
02:02:30.159 --> 02:02:34.640
being born, but like on TV as little babies, and

1429
02:02:34.640 --> 02:02:40.119
there was their mother was Princess Diana, who was the

1430
02:02:40.119 --> 02:02:44.119
future kick, she was the future queen. Yeah, that's what

1431
02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:46.600
kind of was supposed to have happened, isn't it? The

1432
02:02:46.680 --> 02:02:53.760
future queen and the most famous royal out for all

1433
02:02:53.760 --> 02:03:02.760
of them. And then yeah, I kind of felt for

1434
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:08.720
the kids. I felt for the two youngs, you know,

1435
02:03:08.800 --> 02:03:12.000
Harry and William, And as I sort of grow up,

1436
02:03:12.039 --> 02:03:18.359
I just thought, yeah, they're good lads. They're just they're

1437
02:03:18.399 --> 02:03:23.840
about ten years younger than me, I suppose, because what

1438
02:03:24.159 --> 02:03:28.199
maybe twelve years thirteen years is not a huge age difference,

1439
02:03:28.239 --> 02:03:30.600
but I think what they were born in the early

1440
02:03:30.600 --> 02:03:48.640
eighties weren't they. Yeah, so I'm thinking Princess Diana. But

1441
02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:53.920
out of who's around now, I suppose the King, the

1442
02:03:54.000 --> 02:03:58.600
King really is. He's the only one that i've that's

1443
02:03:58.680 --> 02:04:03.960
been there all time. Prince William, now Prince William, Prince

1444
02:04:04.039 --> 02:04:11.199
Charles and now King Charles. Everyone else, and you know,

1445
02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:14.039
Prince William and Prince Harry. They're the three that I

1446
02:04:14.159 --> 02:04:25.479
really that kind of stayed in the spotlight really, So

1447
02:04:25.479 --> 02:04:28.119
I suppose i'd probably say Harry and William would be

1448
02:04:28.159 --> 02:04:33.279
my favorite two favorites for different reasons. I think they're

1449
02:04:33.319 --> 02:04:39.840
both if you if you change a question to who

1450
02:04:39.840 --> 02:04:42.399
would I like to meet, so that if I said

1451
02:04:42.399 --> 02:04:44.000
the question was who would I like to meet? Out

1452
02:04:44.000 --> 02:04:46.600
of the royals, it would be the three you would be,

1453
02:04:46.640 --> 02:04:52.399
the King and his two sons. I'd quite like to

1454
02:04:52.399 --> 02:04:55.560
meet Fergie. I know technically she's probably not royalty anymore

1455
02:04:55.560 --> 02:04:59.199
because she divorced to Andrew, but I've seen her do

1456
02:04:59.319 --> 02:05:02.319
interviews and he comes across as a really nice person,

1457
02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:07.840
and she's done a lot for charities as well as

1458
02:05:08.680 --> 02:05:13.239
a lot of the royal family have, because you know,

1459
02:05:13.319 --> 02:05:19.520
just by getting that raal seal can boost a charity

1460
02:05:20.159 --> 02:05:24.439
and people fund and give donations to that charity because

1461
02:05:24.479 --> 02:05:26.880
it's got the raw seal, and it can be the

1462
02:05:26.920 --> 02:05:30.920
difference between them being around for a few years and

1463
02:05:30.960 --> 02:05:33.960
then running out of money and stuff and being around

1464
02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:40.239
for decades and decades and decades helping hundreds and thousands

1465
02:05:40.279 --> 02:05:48.800
of people. Kate, what was your favorite band musician during

1466
02:05:48.840 --> 02:05:51.520
your high school years? What did your friends listen to?

1467
02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:55.239
I realized that's two questions. I don't know what my

1468
02:05:55.319 --> 02:05:57.640
friends listened to because I took a notice of that,

1469
02:05:58.000 --> 02:06:00.800
so I can answer that one straight away. I didn't

1470
02:06:00.800 --> 02:06:03.479
care what anyone else did when I was a kid.

1471
02:06:04.159 --> 02:06:07.479
I knew what I liked and that was it. I'd

1472
02:06:07.520 --> 02:06:12.920
never listened to music with anyone else. And I used

1473
02:06:12.920 --> 02:06:17.439
to like to listen to Elvis music with my oldest brother,

1474
02:06:19.079 --> 02:06:21.760
but it wasn't current, you know, because he was gone

1475
02:06:21.800 --> 02:06:28.039
in seventy seven. So my childhood really music wise, i'd

1476
02:06:28.119 --> 02:06:35.319
say started around seventy nine and early eighties. And I

1477
02:06:35.359 --> 02:06:39.600
had no friends really to share that with, or at

1478
02:06:39.680 --> 02:06:41.720
least I might have had, but I didn't ask anyone.

1479
02:06:43.239 --> 02:06:46.680
I didn't. Yeah, but I loved Top of the Pops,

1480
02:06:46.760 --> 02:06:53.520
I loved, I loved pretty much most of the music

1481
02:06:53.560 --> 02:06:56.359
that was around in the early eighties. There were certain

1482
02:06:56.800 --> 02:06:59.159
certain songs that I loved more than others and some

1483
02:06:59.319 --> 02:07:02.199
that I didn't really cared too much about. But my

1484
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:09.439
favorite singer was Shaken Stevens, my favorite singer. My favorite

1485
02:07:09.479 --> 02:07:20.239
bands back then, I can't remember. Did I have any

1486
02:07:20.239 --> 02:07:24.399
favorite bands? Wham, that's a band, wasn't it. That's a

1487
02:07:24.520 --> 02:07:33.039
Wham Wham? And one of my favorite bands Bross But

1488
02:07:33.159 --> 02:07:40.680
that was like late eighties. Yeah. Sticking to the eighties,

1489
02:07:42.199 --> 02:07:50.520
The Madness, I love Madness, Culture Club, I love Culture Club,

1490
02:07:52.840 --> 02:07:56.520
Poor Young as a singer, I love Poor Young, ub

1491
02:07:56.720 --> 02:08:07.119
forty do do do? What's this stand? And oliver your

1492
02:08:07.279 --> 02:08:13.319
money or your life? That that band, so Adam and

1493
02:08:13.359 --> 02:08:19.479
the Ants I did. Also, I noticed I quite like

1494
02:08:19.600 --> 02:08:21.560
some of the older stuff. So I love Buddy Holly.

1495
02:08:22.600 --> 02:08:26.359
So Buddy Holly, you know, I mean, he wasn't around

1496
02:08:27.319 --> 02:08:30.439
in the eighties, but I loved his songs. And the

1497
02:08:30.479 --> 02:08:34.600
Monkeys that's another band I absolutely adored. So I used

1498
02:08:34.600 --> 02:08:38.000
to listen to Buddy holly Greatest Hits and The Monkey's

1499
02:08:38.000 --> 02:08:45.319
Greatest Hits, possibly more than any other album during the eighties. Well,

1500
02:08:45.399 --> 02:08:51.600
during the middle early to middle eighties, late eighties. I mean,

1501
02:08:51.600 --> 02:08:55.479
I wasn't a child anymore technically, but the late eighties

1502
02:08:55.520 --> 02:09:03.439
have got much more into George Michael's solo career, Ross

1503
02:09:03.560 --> 02:09:07.760
Stevie Wonder sort middle eighties onwards. I fell I really

1504
02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:16.000
loved Stevie Wonder to discovered him. Michael Jackson. Wow. Yeah,

1505
02:09:16.319 --> 02:09:23.079
So in my early childhood I would have listened to

1506
02:09:23.119 --> 02:09:26.079
Michael Jackson, but not necessarily knew who he was.

1507
02:09:28.920 --> 02:09:29.399
In my.

1508
02:09:31.039 --> 02:09:36.439
Really by the time I got to about ten, like

1509
02:09:36.600 --> 02:09:39.800
nine ten, Michael Jackson was like when I was nine.

1510
02:09:40.159 --> 02:09:45.760
He was pretty much an adult at that point, and

1511
02:09:45.800 --> 02:09:49.399
he was doing sort of off the wall, can you

1512
02:09:49.520 --> 02:09:52.760
Feel It? Can You Feel It? You know, those kind

1513
02:09:52.760 --> 02:09:57.079
of songs, and it was I didn't really follow Michael Jackson.

1514
02:09:59.039 --> 02:10:05.399
And then of course he Thriller, which nobody pretty much

1515
02:10:05.560 --> 02:10:08.000
in the Western world would have not heard about because

1516
02:10:08.000 --> 02:10:15.680
it was just constant thriller, this thriller that, and I

1517
02:10:15.800 --> 02:10:17.840
liked it. I mean I remember what. I watched the

1518
02:10:17.920 --> 02:10:21.560
Thriller video on Channel four for the first time it

1519
02:10:21.680 --> 02:10:25.359
was ever shown on British TV. I was allowed to

1520
02:10:25.359 --> 02:10:28.880
start late to watch it, and yeah, I loved it,

1521
02:10:30.439 --> 02:10:35.159
but I got bored with the songs because they were overplayed.

1522
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:38.600
It's like every time I turn a TV on, Michael

1523
02:10:38.680 --> 02:10:41.079
Jackson was singing and I've got a little I just

1524
02:10:41.079 --> 02:10:44.479
got a bit fed up with it. I don't want

1525
02:10:44.479 --> 02:10:48.279
to hear it no more, which is weird considering how

1526
02:10:48.760 --> 02:10:51.439
much of a big fan of came of this in

1527
02:10:53.880 --> 02:10:59.279
well eighty six because Bad was my favorite album, I

1528
02:10:59.359 --> 02:11:06.880
preferred Bad over Thriller for some reason, I don't know that.

1529
02:11:07.119 --> 02:11:10.159
Probably the most listened to album I've ever listened to

1530
02:11:10.239 --> 02:11:23.000
probably is Bad, Michael Jackson's Bad. And there's two songs

1531
02:11:23.039 --> 02:11:27.079
from the eighties that I really even today are two

1532
02:11:27.079 --> 02:11:32.199
of my favorite songs. One is Men Men at Work

1533
02:11:32.479 --> 02:11:36.920
down Under and Totally Clips at a Heart by Bonnie Tyler,

1534
02:11:38.279 --> 02:11:41.600
two of my favorite songs from the eighties from my childhood.

1535
02:11:42.560 --> 02:11:44.479
But then if you go back a little bit, Greece

1536
02:11:45.159 --> 02:11:48.720
loved Greece every song on the Grease album. Loved it.

1537
02:11:49.520 --> 02:11:57.600
Still do. So there was that period of time in

1538
02:11:57.640 --> 02:12:00.840
the eighties when I would have the radio and play

1539
02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:03.520
and wake me up in the morning ready for school,

1540
02:12:03.560 --> 02:12:08.000
and I'd be listening to it. And there's for me,

1541
02:12:08.079 --> 02:12:12.279
it was individual songs, not so because I didn't really

1542
02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:16.039
buy albums back then, I just listened on the radio,

1543
02:12:17.760 --> 02:12:24.640
so that meat Loaf and Share Addicted to Love. I

1544
02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:28.000
think it was called that one. That was my favorite song.

1545
02:12:28.800 --> 02:12:32.920
But then you know, mid ladies watched the Color of Money.

1546
02:12:33.239 --> 02:12:36.760
What's the color of Mourney? Some people thinking, and me,

1547
02:12:36.960 --> 02:12:41.960
you know, it'sird. That's one Hollywood beyond. I think that

1548
02:12:42.119 --> 02:12:46.600
was And I love that song. Just weird. Or you

1549
02:12:46.640 --> 02:12:49.319
don't have to take your clothes half to have a

1550
02:12:49.359 --> 02:12:53.079
good time. Oh no, I love that song. Are the

1551
02:12:53.159 --> 02:12:55.640
Wings of lou only the two of us to go

1552
02:12:55.880 --> 02:12:59.039
a flow? You know? Love that song? Like there was

1553
02:12:59.039 --> 02:13:02.359
an individual songs, but I'd never used to listen to

1554
02:13:02.399 --> 02:13:05.359
their albums. First of all, I didn't buy their albums.

1555
02:13:08.079 --> 02:13:14.399
And so for me, when now that's what I call

1556
02:13:14.560 --> 02:13:18.600
music came out and it'd be like the best hits

1557
02:13:18.640 --> 02:13:21.079
of the year, or maybe they'd do two a year,

1558
02:13:21.119 --> 02:13:23.359
maybe three a year, so just like break it down,

1559
02:13:24.359 --> 02:13:30.079
I used to start buying those tapes. And I liked

1560
02:13:30.119 --> 02:13:35.760
that a lot, and I'd really listen to it over

1561
02:13:35.760 --> 02:13:41.720
and over again. And yeah, that was again individual songs.

1562
02:13:42.399 --> 02:13:44.439
I didn't care about the albums. I didn't want to

1563
02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:48.239
listen to the albums. I mean I did have albums

1564
02:13:48.960 --> 02:13:52.039
earlier on in my life. So when I was like

1565
02:13:52.239 --> 02:13:56.159
nine ten, I had albums. I had the Beg's album

1566
02:13:57.239 --> 02:14:02.840
I had I used to listen to I had. I

1567
02:14:02.880 --> 02:14:13.640
had Shaken Stevens albums, Shaken Stephens in the sunsets, and

1568
02:14:13.720 --> 02:14:18.640
I was sometimes listening to some other albums that my

1569
02:14:18.720 --> 02:14:24.720
dad had or that they both had, which like music,

1570
02:14:25.439 --> 02:14:33.119
film score music, so things like you know, what's it called?

1571
02:14:34.640 --> 02:14:44.359
The Spaghetti Westerns with what's his name? The man were

1572
02:14:44.359 --> 02:14:47.279
no name in the town, were no name? How does

1573
02:14:47.319 --> 02:14:52.319
it get male? What was it called? Good? Bad and

1574
02:14:52.439 --> 02:14:56.560
ugly and things like that, and then Star Wars and

1575
02:14:56.960 --> 02:15:01.319
Superman and those kind of scores of music and ass

1576
02:15:01.439 --> 02:15:04.479
just laid down and listened to that, and it was lovely.

1577
02:15:05.119 --> 02:15:08.039
He used to really relax me. And this is before

1578
02:15:08.079 --> 02:15:10.079
I moved up to the room upstairs at the top

1579
02:15:10.119 --> 02:15:13.479
of the house, so I must have been around ten

1580
02:15:13.720 --> 02:15:24.960
eleven back then. I'm trying to think what else. Yes,

1581
02:15:25.520 --> 02:15:31.000
I would say that in Shaken Stephens number one, that

1582
02:15:31.159 --> 02:15:37.159
was he was my favorite. And also incidentally, Shaken Stephens

1583
02:15:37.319 --> 02:15:43.560
was the number one recording artist you singer not banned

1584
02:15:43.960 --> 02:15:47.800
the number one recording artist in the UK for had

1585
02:15:47.840 --> 02:15:51.079
the whole of the eighties. No one sold more records

1586
02:15:51.079 --> 02:16:00.960
than him in the UK a UK artist, so he

1587
02:16:00.960 --> 02:16:06.720
he was the king of the eighties. Shaken Stephens behind

1588
02:16:06.760 --> 02:16:11.760
the Green Dole. There was a time when I really

1589
02:16:11.840 --> 02:16:17.840
loved listening to fifties music, fifties and sixties like Rubber

1590
02:16:17.880 --> 02:16:23.880
Boler and Bound to Back to You Who, and some

1591
02:16:23.960 --> 02:16:26.199
of that stuff that was from my dad's that he

1592
02:16:26.239 --> 02:16:30.199
had on these eight track tapes, really old tapes that

1593
02:16:30.479 --> 02:16:34.360
plug pushed them in, but they were good quality sound

1594
02:16:35.120 --> 02:16:39.479
and he had them from his childhood because my dad

1595
02:16:39.559 --> 02:16:48.680
was born forty six I think, no, yes, nineteen forty

1596
02:16:48.760 --> 02:16:53.360
six my dad was born, so his childhood was really

1597
02:16:53.399 --> 02:16:58.120
through the fifties when he was listening to music, and

1598
02:16:58.159 --> 02:17:04.799
then he was I guess he turned fifteen in nineteen

1599
02:17:04.959 --> 02:17:08.799
sixty one, so it was just like his late teens

1600
02:17:08.840 --> 02:17:17.200
and adult years, you know, in the sixties. So yeah,

1601
02:17:17.639 --> 02:17:19.719
I used to love listening to that, and I I

1602
02:17:19.879 --> 02:17:23.200
think when we went on holiday, we went to Wales,

1603
02:17:23.920 --> 02:17:27.079
long long journey, so us kids would be in the

1604
02:17:27.120 --> 02:17:30.120
back of the car, there'd be a trailer on the back.

1605
02:17:32.559 --> 02:17:35.399
My dad would be driving. I think they'd take turns

1606
02:17:35.479 --> 02:17:42.559
driving and he used to play these a lot of it.

1607
02:17:42.600 --> 02:17:45.600
They'd be a mixture of Beatles songs. That's a big

1608
02:17:45.639 --> 02:17:52.719
Beatles fan and like rock music. Gidget all aroun in

1609
02:17:53.319 --> 02:17:53.639
here on?

1610
02:17:53.760 --> 02:17:53.879
Now?

1611
02:17:53.920 --> 02:17:56.440
How are we that? One? A lot of songs like

1612
02:17:56.520 --> 02:18:04.719
that which were really good for driving to. I need

1613
02:18:04.760 --> 02:18:06.840
to ask him one day what those songs were, because

1614
02:18:06.959 --> 02:18:12.600
a lot of them I couldn't even tell you. Vinnie Snores,

1615
02:18:12.639 --> 02:18:15.600
did ever tell you that? Okay, so I feel I

1616
02:18:15.600 --> 02:18:21.239
covered that. Anne asks me, do you play any instruments?

1617
02:18:22.440 --> 02:18:29.559
The answer is no, there's not very long answer to

1618
02:18:29.600 --> 02:18:34.120
that one. I used to play. When I was in

1619
02:18:34.239 --> 02:18:39.239
junior school, I played the violin not very well. When

1620
02:18:39.479 --> 02:18:46.600
I was in high school, I played I was in

1621
02:18:46.600 --> 02:18:50.280
the Cecrets and I played the bugle not very well.

1622
02:18:52.040 --> 02:18:56.559
And then I played the drums in the Ciccretts not

1623
02:18:56.719 --> 02:19:00.000
very well. Then I played the glocking spill even worse

1624
02:19:00.079 --> 02:19:08.920
us and then I what else did I play? I'm

1625
02:19:08.920 --> 02:19:13.799
sure I played something else. That's enough, isn't it. I did.

1626
02:19:14.040 --> 02:19:19.280
I did learn kind of learned to play the guitar

1627
02:19:20.200 --> 02:19:26.159
in the mid nineties or ninety six ninety seven, not

1628
02:19:26.360 --> 02:19:30.479
very well. Again, but I did learn the chords and

1629
02:19:30.760 --> 02:19:33.719
I had this. Really I splashed out a little bit

1630
02:19:33.760 --> 02:19:37.760
on a nice guitar. It was I think I spent

1631
02:19:37.799 --> 02:19:40.440
like two hundred and fifty pounds on this guitar, so

1632
02:19:40.520 --> 02:19:42.639
it was a good quality. There was quite a lot

1633
02:19:42.639 --> 02:19:46.639
of money back then. There was good quality, and the

1634
02:19:46.760 --> 02:19:51.399
strings were good, the sound well. Basically, what I decided is,

1635
02:19:52.040 --> 02:19:56.600
if I'm going to sound a bit rubbish, then I

1636
02:19:56.680 --> 02:19:59.360
might as well do it on a nice guitar, because

1637
02:19:59.399 --> 02:20:01.879
even a rubb sound sounds better on a good guitar.

1638
02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:10.639
And I figured out that I wasn't motivated to get this,

1639
02:20:10.840 --> 02:20:14.879
get the sounds correct and get the chords right if

1640
02:20:15.680 --> 02:20:20.159
the guitar if the guitar sounded rubbish as well. So

1641
02:20:20.239 --> 02:20:22.559
I kind of got a decent guitar with a really

1642
02:20:22.680 --> 02:20:32.200
nice sound, good strings, good quality. So it was more

1643
02:20:32.319 --> 02:20:37.760
enjoyable listening to it, and it was easier to learn

1644
02:20:38.079 --> 02:20:43.600
to play it because the sound was nice. So when

1645
02:20:43.639 --> 02:20:48.600
I did manage to get the chords right, it sounded nice.

1646
02:20:51.319 --> 02:20:56.680
It might not have sounded correct, but it sounded nice.

1647
02:20:57.399 --> 02:21:01.680
But then I was sharing a flat This was like nine,

1648
02:21:01.760 --> 02:21:06.360
late ninety six, ninety seven, early ninety seven, and I

1649
02:21:06.440 --> 02:21:08.840
had this guitar, and my friend who was sharing a

1650
02:21:08.879 --> 02:21:14.040
flat with me, really didn't seem to enjoy my practicing.

1651
02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:16.920
And remember he said to me, all I can hear

1652
02:21:17.000 --> 02:21:19.200
is this, and it's.

1653
02:21:19.120 --> 02:21:21.600
Like do do do do do do do do do

1663
02:21:44.479 --> 02:21:49.040
He said that all I hear all day long do

1666
02:21:53.639 --> 02:21:56.440
it's like, I said, I'm practicing. He said what for?

1667
02:21:59.120 --> 02:22:01.520
I had no answer for. That was like, why are

1668
02:22:01.559 --> 02:22:05.840
you practicing? Are you going to be in a band? No?

1669
02:22:06.959 --> 02:22:07.200
Are you?

1670
02:22:09.040 --> 02:22:12.159
He got Sophie. He said, do something else, play a

1671
02:22:12.239 --> 02:22:18.280
different song, a different tune. He really was. I was

1672
02:22:18.719 --> 02:22:23.719
annoying him a little bit. So I went into my bedroom,

1673
02:22:25.040 --> 02:22:31.680
and I decided I was going to play the same tune,

1674
02:22:32.520 --> 02:22:35.559
but just try and do it louder so he could

1675
02:22:35.799 --> 02:22:42.280
really enjoy it. I tried. I tried the mouthforkan. So

1676
02:22:42.399 --> 02:22:44.399
when I was working as a security gul, I thought,

1677
02:22:44.559 --> 02:22:49.159
you know what, I can learn a new instrument. Malthforkan's small.

1678
02:22:51.920 --> 02:22:56.200
I've literally got twelve hours in a night to just practice,

1679
02:22:57.079 --> 02:23:01.719
so maybe I could be quite good at this. But

1680
02:23:01.840 --> 02:23:04.000
I realized once I started that I didn't like it.

1681
02:23:06.799 --> 02:23:12.239
Zia never bothered. I kind of gave it up. And

1682
02:23:12.440 --> 02:23:16.840
then a few years ago, quite a few probably six

1683
02:23:17.399 --> 02:23:21.399
seven years ago, I bought a ukulele. Still in my cupboard,

1684
02:23:21.680 --> 02:23:24.879
still in the same box that I bought it. I've

1685
02:23:24.920 --> 02:23:32.600
had it out about three times. It's still in there,

1686
02:23:33.760 --> 02:23:37.399
and maybe one day you might mate. You might not

1687
02:23:37.520 --> 02:23:40.239
believe me. Perhaps one day, maybe the next recording I do,

1688
02:23:40.920 --> 02:23:43.680
I'll get my ukulele out and I'll play it for you.

1689
02:23:44.719 --> 02:23:46.399
When I say I play it for you, I don't

1690
02:23:46.440 --> 02:23:51.600
know how to play it. I never learned. I think

1691
02:23:51.639 --> 02:24:01.440
i'd need lessons I did. My stepmom did teach me

1692
02:24:01.520 --> 02:24:05.280
a bit of piano, like chopsticks, you know, stuff like that,

1693
02:24:05.959 --> 02:24:08.440
but she did because she was I think she had

1694
02:24:08.440 --> 02:24:12.000
an a level in piano. She's very good, and she

1695
02:24:12.159 --> 02:24:15.719
taught me the basics. And at the time I could

1696
02:24:15.840 --> 02:24:21.000
read music because I've been playing the violin, so I

1697
02:24:21.079 --> 02:24:23.200
knew how to read music. So it was quite easy

1698
02:24:23.879 --> 02:24:28.280
to know where the keys were. In a sense now

1699
02:24:28.360 --> 02:24:33.319
I don't know because I've not read music for quite

1700
02:24:33.440 --> 02:24:38.840
some time. But back then, you know, it's quite easy,

1701
02:24:38.920 --> 02:24:41.559
but it's very difficult because in a sense of my

1702
02:24:41.760 --> 02:24:47.399
hands running little, the keyboard or the piano keys were

1703
02:24:47.520 --> 02:24:51.159
quite large. It wasn't like a it was one of

1704
02:24:51.239 --> 02:24:54.719
those pianos that you put against the wall. It was

1705
02:24:54.760 --> 02:24:59.319
like a proper old fashioned piano, but it wasn't. It wasn't,

1706
02:24:59.520 --> 02:25:04.239
you know, like a huge piano. But there was a

1707
02:25:04.319 --> 02:25:06.920
certain amount of strength you needed to press down and

1708
02:25:08.000 --> 02:25:09.479
I just wasn't used to that. So it was a

1709
02:25:09.520 --> 02:25:13.200
little bit different because I was probably ten at the time,

1710
02:25:13.760 --> 02:25:16.200
so it was very different. But I did like it,

1711
02:25:16.959 --> 02:25:23.079
but not enough to really get involved, which is a

1712
02:25:23.200 --> 02:25:27.719
shame because I do. I do think to having a

1713
02:25:27.879 --> 02:25:32.239
skill like that, being able to play a musical instrument

1714
02:25:34.239 --> 02:25:39.200
is such an amazing skill to have, and bearing in

1715
02:25:39.280 --> 02:25:43.680
mind I've played multiple musical instruments over the years, not

1716
02:25:43.840 --> 02:25:48.840
for a long time, but I kind of had the opportunity.

1717
02:25:50.520 --> 02:25:54.440
If I was stuck at the violin, I could have

1718
02:25:54.520 --> 02:25:57.520
been I could have ended up being really good at it.

1719
02:25:59.120 --> 02:26:03.159
I did it for about a year. I was adequate,

1720
02:26:05.559 --> 02:26:08.520
but a year maybe a year. Yeah, I did it

1721
02:26:08.600 --> 02:26:11.920
for a while, but maybe I could have been really good.

1722
02:26:14.799 --> 02:26:18.639
But I quit. Like many things, I stopped doing it

1723
02:26:18.639 --> 02:26:20.879
because I didn't I don't know why. I didn't like

1724
02:26:20.959 --> 02:26:25.360
it anymore, but I was having lessons unlike the dramas

1725
02:26:25.479 --> 02:26:28.399
or a bugle or whatever. I actually went to lessons

1726
02:26:29.959 --> 02:26:33.840
I think twice a week at junior school for the violin,

1727
02:26:35.840 --> 02:26:38.559
and we did concerts and stuff like that. You know.

1728
02:26:38.840 --> 02:26:42.639
So there's one one time I was on stage with

1729
02:26:42.840 --> 02:26:46.520
one other person playing the violin. My parents were watching,

1730
02:26:47.680 --> 02:26:51.120
and that was a bit nerve wracking because the orchestra

1731
02:26:51.319 --> 02:26:57.600
were all doing it together. Then suddenly it's almost harder

1732
02:26:57.680 --> 02:26:59.520
to do with someone than you still it on your own,

1733
02:26:59.600 --> 02:27:02.360
I found, because if I did it on my own,

1734
02:27:04.360 --> 02:27:07.639
it would just sound how it sounds. But to do

1735
02:27:07.719 --> 02:27:13.000
it with someone else, it's to have to be in sync.

1736
02:27:15.280 --> 02:27:17.959
We did it. I don't know how bad or good

1737
02:27:18.000 --> 02:27:20.479
it was. I got no idea, but we managed to

1738
02:27:20.559 --> 02:27:26.760
do it. That is one thing that I wish I

1739
02:27:26.920 --> 02:27:32.559
kind of stuck at because I think I might have been.

1740
02:27:32.799 --> 02:27:35.319
I had quite a good ear for music, quite a

1741
02:27:35.319 --> 02:27:42.879
good ear for tone, and potentially I could have been

1742
02:27:42.959 --> 02:27:48.200
quite good. Yeah, So I think if I was if

1743
02:27:48.200 --> 02:27:50.840
I was going to start, which which musical instrument would

1744
02:27:50.840 --> 02:27:53.280
I have stuck with? If I could kind of go

1745
02:27:53.440 --> 02:27:57.040
back and do that, the violin would be the one.

1746
02:27:58.639 --> 02:28:02.520
The bugle was living did I found. I learned the

1747
02:28:02.600 --> 02:28:07.840
vihgle and it was just easy, and the glocking spill

1748
02:28:08.559 --> 02:28:12.719
difficult but doable. But it's very kind of lots of

1749
02:28:12.760 --> 02:28:20.159
different keys and remember which goes where. The drums probably

1750
02:28:20.239 --> 02:28:23.200
more enjoyable because I got to hit things, do.

1751
02:28:23.280 --> 02:28:27.120
A little little little do a little little do a little,

1752
02:28:27.159 --> 02:28:29.399
little little little, a little.

1753
02:28:32.799 --> 02:28:35.440
I just I enjoyed it, But at the same time

1754
02:28:35.520 --> 02:28:37.360
it was a lot of hassle because big it was

1755
02:28:37.399 --> 02:28:40.120
as big as me a drum. I was like walking

1756
02:28:40.159 --> 02:28:43.600
around with his fingers really heavy, because I was said,

1757
02:28:43.639 --> 02:28:48.719
I was like ten to eleven big old things. So

1758
02:28:51.799 --> 02:28:54.959
I would have preferred if I was going to choose

1759
02:28:55.040 --> 02:28:57.360
two instruments that I would have been good at that

1760
02:28:57.479 --> 02:29:00.600
if I you know, if I could choose two instruments

1761
02:29:00.639 --> 02:29:03.639
to be good at, it would be the guitar or

1762
02:29:03.680 --> 02:29:09.760
the piano. I've had multiple keyboards over the years. I

1763
02:29:09.879 --> 02:29:12.760
once bought a piano back in two thousand and four,

1764
02:29:12.920 --> 02:29:15.559
bought it and sold it than this in about three

1765
02:29:15.639 --> 02:29:19.440
days back to the same person, and lost about one

1766
02:29:19.520 --> 02:29:29.000
hundred quid. And yeah, it's one of those moments of silliness.

1767
02:29:33.719 --> 02:29:36.719
But I liked just have this idea of like being

1768
02:29:36.840 --> 02:29:38.920
good at something. I think that's what it was. I

1769
02:29:38.959 --> 02:29:41.079
wanted to be good at something, but I never found

1770
02:29:41.159 --> 02:29:46.200
anything that I was if I wasn't interested enough in

1771
02:29:46.360 --> 02:29:51.319
it to progress to a point of being any good,

1772
02:29:52.079 --> 02:29:56.760
or I just wasn't very good at it. You know.

1773
02:29:57.120 --> 02:30:01.840
It's I'd love to being a good breakdancer or a

1774
02:30:01.959 --> 02:30:08.159
brilliant breakdancer. I'm not a dancer. There's certain things that

1775
02:30:08.200 --> 02:30:09.120
are just that's not me.

1776
02:30:09.319 --> 02:30:10.040
It wasn't.

1777
02:30:12.399 --> 02:30:14.319
You know. It's kind of like it'd be good to

1778
02:30:14.399 --> 02:30:19.239
be a basketball player, but that would be I mean,

1779
02:30:19.239 --> 02:30:21.360
I'm not saying it wouldn't be impossible, but it would

1780
02:30:21.440 --> 02:30:24.280
be very difficult. At five for eight to become a

1781
02:30:24.319 --> 02:30:28.079
basketball player where most of them are like six five plus,

1782
02:30:30.399 --> 02:30:39.360
you know, there's a big advantage. So yeah, I think

1783
02:30:39.440 --> 02:30:42.600
basketball was the only sport that I thought was quite

1784
02:30:42.680 --> 02:30:46.399
cool because you know, chucking at getting a ball in

1785
02:30:46.479 --> 02:30:49.479
a basket or a hoop, that was quite fun if

1786
02:30:49.479 --> 02:30:52.000
there was no one else around. So I quite enjoyed

1787
02:30:52.079 --> 02:30:54.639
doing that, you know, from a distance and just trying

1788
02:30:54.680 --> 02:30:56.440
to get the ball in. And I could spend hours

1789
02:30:56.479 --> 02:30:58.959
doing that, but not if other people were around. I

1790
02:30:59.000 --> 02:31:01.920
didn't want anyone getting an way I'll try to get

1791
02:31:01.920 --> 02:31:04.600
the ball off me. That just took the fun out

1792
02:31:06.600 --> 02:31:13.959
of it for me. So yeah, in short, really no,

1793
02:31:14.239 --> 02:31:18.319
I don't play any instruments, but and I never will now.

1794
02:31:19.399 --> 02:31:23.520
I think those days are gone. I don't have any

1795
02:31:23.600 --> 02:31:29.840
interest in playing instruments now, but I very much admire

1796
02:31:29.879 --> 02:31:39.239
people that can. Yeah, I do. So I suppose the

1797
02:31:39.319 --> 02:31:42.159
thing I was best out of all the instruments that

1798
02:31:42.239 --> 02:31:45.760
I did play probably would have been the violin, because

1799
02:31:45.799 --> 02:31:49.799
that's the one that I practiced the most, and I

1800
02:31:49.920 --> 02:31:55.760
also my family home enjoyed it listening to it, to

1801
02:31:55.920 --> 02:31:58.799
the screeching. But that is the one I practiced most,

1802
02:31:59.000 --> 02:32:02.280
and it's the one I was actually having musical lessons

1803
02:32:02.440 --> 02:32:10.159
for anyway that seems to bring us to the end

1804
02:32:10.280 --> 02:32:12.799
of this recording, and I'm going to go and get

1805
02:32:12.840 --> 02:32:17.959
myself something to eat. I hope I've answered you questions.

1806
02:32:18.000 --> 02:32:20.959
I know there's been a few. I probably got off

1807
02:32:21.079 --> 02:32:25.000
the subject a little bit every now and then. Apologies.

1808
02:32:25.159 --> 02:32:30.159
I apologizes, my friends, but thank you for listening. Remember

1809
02:32:30.520 --> 02:32:35.040
to be kind to yourself, because you do deserve to

1810
02:32:35.079 --> 02:32:40.639
be happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to

1811
02:32:40.680 --> 02:32:44.040
feel safe, lots of love.

1812
02:32:46.559 --> 02:32:46.799
Bye.

1813
02:32:52.959 --> 02:33:07.440
Relax in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in

1814
02:33:07.559 --> 02:33:13.079
a way that can not just allow you to feel

1815
02:33:14.520 --> 02:33:23.600
calmer now and throughout the time we spend together here,

1816
02:33:25.760 --> 02:33:31.440
not just relaxed at the end of the recording when

1817
02:33:31.479 --> 02:33:38.120
it's finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort

1818
02:33:38.319 --> 02:33:53.200
and peace, but also I think it would be nice

1819
02:33:53.319 --> 02:34:13.079
to have those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after

1820
02:34:13.200 --> 02:34:23.760
the recording has ended, so that you can still benefit

1821
02:34:26.680 --> 02:34:33.920
from listening to my voice, maybe in a few hours time,

1822
02:34:35.840 --> 02:34:49.280
perhaps tomorrow, and then by listening regularly, especially if you

1823
02:34:49.520 --> 02:34:53.719
find like some people do and myself as well. I

1824
02:34:54.319 --> 02:35:01.040
sometimes I find one particular recording that really resonates with me,

1825
02:35:05.399 --> 02:35:07.760
and I just listened to it over and over again

1826
02:35:10.040 --> 02:35:23.040
every morning, every evening. There was this recording from We're

1827
02:35:23.079 --> 02:35:28.799
going back to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis,

1828
02:35:28.879 --> 02:35:34.200
but it was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,

1829
02:35:36.719 --> 02:35:41.840
and I managed to find it again and it still

1830
02:35:42.000 --> 02:35:47.360
has the same effect on me. And part of it

1831
02:35:47.719 --> 02:36:02.440
was the person's voice relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful,

1832
02:36:04.600 --> 02:36:11.000
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

1833
02:36:11.159 --> 02:36:21.799
morning and in the evening, and I knew before even

1834
02:36:22.600 --> 02:36:29.559
pressing the play button that as soon as I've done

1835
02:36:29.639 --> 02:36:34.079
that pressed the play button. This was in the days

1836
02:36:34.120 --> 02:36:48.239
of CD players pressed the play button. In fact, it

1837
02:36:48.319 --> 02:36:52.399
might have even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie

1838
02:36:52.520 --> 02:37:03.639
down on the bed and then even without necessarily listening

1839
02:37:05.360 --> 02:37:18.559
to her words because I had them memorized. Really, it

1840
02:37:18.719 --> 02:37:24.360
was as if my body knew exactly what to do,

1841
02:37:29.280 --> 02:37:50.959
and the muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and

1842
02:37:51.239 --> 02:37:56.239
I remember my mind would slow down.

1843
02:38:01.920 --> 02:38:02.079
Now.

1844
02:38:04.280 --> 02:38:10.959
Now, I was listening to this recording in the early

1845
02:38:11.079 --> 02:38:18.879
days of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made

1846
02:38:19.479 --> 02:38:26.760
any videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start

1847
02:38:26.840 --> 02:38:40.559
doing that till two thousand and six. I knew, I

1848
02:38:40.719 --> 02:38:54.120
knew how helpful I found being able to just let go,

1849
02:38:57.239 --> 02:39:02.559
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1850
02:39:10.280 --> 02:39:18.360
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1851
02:39:18.440 --> 02:39:27.799
not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you

1852
02:39:27.920 --> 02:39:39.479
may feel the same. Some people have been listening to

1853
02:39:39.639 --> 02:39:53.440
me for over a decade. Maybe not solidly, obviously not

1854
02:39:53.559 --> 02:39:59.799
twenty four hours a day, but maybe people come back.

1855
02:40:01.719 --> 02:40:15.360
Some people may be listen every day. That's something that.

1856
02:40:15.479 --> 02:40:16.879
I do.

1857
02:40:18.719 --> 02:40:33.120
Which you may not realize by listening, is when I

1858
02:40:33.479 --> 02:40:49.559
record these recordings. Now, for example, I also am affected

1859
02:40:50.120 --> 02:41:02.920
by the words that I say. So if I set

1860
02:41:03.120 --> 02:41:13.559
you focus on your feet, notice your feet relaxing, I

1861
02:41:13.680 --> 02:41:22.120
will be focusing on my feet. I will be noticing

1862
02:41:25.120 --> 02:41:39.600
my feet relaxing. If I said, focus on your hands,

1863
02:41:42.399 --> 02:41:51.920
and maybe notice the difference between each hand, Perhaps notice

1864
02:41:52.040 --> 02:41:58.079
the air in the room, the temperature of the room.

1865
02:42:00.079 --> 02:42:10.360
On the backs of your hands. You may start to

1866
02:42:10.959 --> 02:42:19.000
notice what almost feels like a very light breeze, even

1867
02:42:19.079 --> 02:42:23.239
though there may not be any type of breeze at

1868
02:42:23.360 --> 02:42:36.280
all where you are right now. And as you become

1869
02:42:36.959 --> 02:42:51.319
aware of your hands. I'm also aware of how relaxed

1870
02:42:51.680 --> 02:43:15.399
my hands are feeling now and when it comes to

1871
02:43:16.959 --> 02:43:22.959
potentially drifting off to sleep, which may be the reason

1872
02:43:23.319 --> 02:43:39.520
you're listening, I also feel drowsy when I make these recordings.

1873
02:43:44.239 --> 02:44:02.920
I also notice my mind drifting. In fact, times I've

1874
02:44:02.959 --> 02:44:17.399
actually fallen asleep without even noticing, and then I carry

1875
02:44:17.440 --> 02:44:28.600
on talking. And it's only when I listen back to

1876
02:44:29.040 --> 02:44:38.000
do the editing I hear snoring and I think I

1877
02:44:38.120 --> 02:44:49.159
don't remember snoring. I remember talking. Snoring was a pig

1878
02:44:49.319 --> 02:44:55.639
turned up. That's what I sound like when I snare

1879
02:45:00.200 --> 02:45:13.959
h How I get read into a whole experience. I

1880
02:45:14.040 --> 02:45:23.479
don't know how you feel, how relaxed you feel in

1881
02:45:23.559 --> 02:45:49.120
your feet, how relaxed you feel in your hands. I

1882
02:45:49.280 --> 02:46:03.479
have noticed more and more that's the more relaxed, deeper

1883
02:46:08.559 --> 02:46:18.840
level of comfort you feel, the easier your breathing becomes.

1884
02:46:25.440 --> 02:46:42.079
It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation. So this allows

1885
02:46:42.159 --> 02:47:13.239
you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing on your breath. However,

1886
02:47:13.520 --> 02:47:42.239
being able to notice the ease in which you breathe

1887
02:47:42.479 --> 02:48:32.239
so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly whenever

1888
02:48:32.440 --> 02:48:50.760
I imagine my breathing improving. When I've got my eyes closed,

1889
02:48:56.760 --> 02:49:09.639
I tend to visualize a beautiful field with trees and

1890
02:49:09.920 --> 02:49:43.280
flowers producing all that life giving oxygen. And it feels

1891
02:49:43.559 --> 02:50:05.319
nice too, if nothing else, just taking some time away

1892
02:50:10.040 --> 02:50:53.319
from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace, serenity with a

1893
02:50:53.680 --> 02:51:45.559
joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed,

1894
02:51:51.479 --> 02:52:30.639
so deeply, peaceful, completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in

1895
02:52:30.799 --> 02:53:35.159
this moment, completely free, noticing that your mind slowed down,

1896
02:53:43.479 --> 02:54:30.159
slowed down because nothing really requires your attention. You can

1897
02:54:30.440 --> 02:54:46.520
enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress to drip

1898
02:54:47.280 --> 02:55:00.639
out of your body, to appear out of every butt

1899
02:55:07.040 --> 02:55:31.760
of your body, and being released from your brain your

1900
02:55:31.959 --> 02:56:23.120
mind slowly but surely. The muscles in your legs relax

1901
02:56:28.120 --> 02:57:18.280
res res so very deeply, reas so deeply, and the feelings,

1902
02:57:20.920 --> 02:57:45.760
the pleasant feelings in your arms and shoulders, deepening each

1903
02:57:46.200 --> 02:58:24.280
part of your body further and deeper and deeper, magicine,

1904
02:58:27.520 --> 02:58:54.040
the feelings in the back of your neck, the feelings

1905
02:58:54.239 --> 02:59:43.079
in your wrists, muscles in front of your body, I

1906
02:59:43.280 --> 03:00:27.120
will say, feeding, peaceful, deep, there's a sense of peace

1907
03:00:31.600 --> 03:01:11.440
spreads through your very core. Even when you focus on

1908
03:01:11.600 --> 03:02:10.799
your mind, her mind becomes be and slower, even deeper, relaxing,

1909
03:02:34.639 --> 03:03:12.520
so very slow, his stomach peace full in your stomach,

1910
03:03:34.680 --> 03:04:08.760
hold back. Notice, Notice how relaxed you now feel in

1911
03:04:08.920 --> 03:04:41.600
the hole of your back. A spy from your brain

1912
03:04:42.200 --> 03:04:49.879
all the way down the middle of your back, sending

1913
03:04:50.280 --> 03:05:13.479
and receiving millions of messages every day. Deep comfort, increasing

1914
03:05:24.040 --> 03:06:30.360
deeply relaxed. Ns relax spreading those signals down your spine

1915
03:06:30.520 --> 03:06:53.280
or cord into air, every part of your body, your

1916
03:06:53.479 --> 03:07:41.959
shins and your calf muscles, your elbows, Feelings of peace

1917
03:07:44.920 --> 03:07:58.760
and tranquility spreading through your body, tips of your toes,

1918
03:08:03.159 --> 03:08:14.559
to your eyes, your fingers, all the way till you

1919
03:08:14.760 --> 03:09:15.840
know it. Back, letting go, reatting her pace to drift

1920
03:09:16.040 --> 03:09:41.799
in mind, just wander in a way, happy to let go.

1921
03:09:45.239 --> 03:10:46.520
Let go completely, Let go, said tranquil. The whole body

1922
03:10:50.879 --> 03:13:13.680
enjoying a sensor listening God, he nore hey, enjoying the space,

Relaxed as.

1925
03:14:29.280 --> 03:14:58.760
Usus VI.

1926
03:15:27.680 --> 03:15:52.399
Letting go. Maybe we can just focus on the different

1927
03:15:52.760 --> 03:16:27.559
parts of your body, just to night you forehead and

1928
03:16:27.840 --> 03:17:34.239
your eyes mutual, so loose, noticing the sense of complete freedom,

1929
03:17:46.319 --> 03:18:48.559
absolute freedom, day.

1930
03:19:00.719 --> 03:19:02.120
Peace, wall.

You may.

1934
03:20:52.639 --> 03:21:52.280
Or may not have noticed your mind drifting peaceful with

1935
03:21:53.000 --> 03:22:12.840
many even more deeply in the direction of total blissful

A body feels alice invisible, so the very relaxed. I'm paceful, so.

1940
03:26:38.280 --> 03:26:39.159
Pace fall.

1941
03:27:02.239 --> 03:27:42.079
Let go, and you could start to notice that you

1942
03:27:43.600 --> 03:27:54.879
are feeling more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused

1943
03:27:55.319 --> 03:28:03.200
your mind upon that sin that's a physical comfort that

1944
03:28:03.399 --> 03:28:10.399
is growing within you throughout your body, and your mind

1945
03:28:12.520 --> 03:28:20.920
starts to slow down. And that could be almost in

1946
03:28:21.799 --> 03:28:30.399
recognition of I guess my speech not being particularly fast,

1947
03:28:36.959 --> 03:28:47.319
and things just generally feel calmer. Just by listening to

1948
03:28:47.479 --> 03:28:56.079
my voice, you give yourself an opportunity to take a

1949
03:28:56.200 --> 03:29:03.000
break from the day, take a break from your life

1950
03:29:04.159 --> 03:29:12.600
as it is, and to give yourself a rest, giving

1951
03:29:12.639 --> 03:29:20.120
yourself permission to take some time off and to allow

1952
03:29:20.319 --> 03:29:26.440
your body to relax and allow your mind to slow down,

1953
03:29:30.520 --> 03:29:38.440
which in turn releases the tension any stresses that you

1954
03:29:38.639 --> 03:29:48.559
had in your body. It's almost as if the parts

1955
03:29:48.600 --> 03:29:53.719
of your body just open up, allowing the negativity out

1956
03:30:00.600 --> 03:30:06.600
and at the same time replacing that negativity with positive

1957
03:30:07.799 --> 03:30:15.959
healing energy, which then fills your body up and your

1958
03:30:16.120 --> 03:30:32.959
mind to also starts to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence,

1959
03:30:36.840 --> 03:30:53.440
an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing, an energy that spreads

1960
03:30:53.879 --> 03:31:04.719
through your body like a wave of comfort. And all

1961
03:31:04.799 --> 03:31:16.840
this comes from just allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe

1962
03:31:17.000 --> 03:31:19.559
half an hour, however long you want it to be,

1963
03:31:21.120 --> 03:31:33.000
to just rest and allow your mind and your body

1964
03:31:35.239 --> 03:31:52.000
to almost reset itself to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness,

1965
03:31:56.319 --> 03:32:05.639
which allows more room for feelings of pleasure and happiness

1966
03:32:09.680 --> 03:32:18.520
to move around your body and into your mind, almost

1967
03:32:19.319 --> 03:32:23.879
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1968
03:32:28.159 --> 03:32:37.879
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness.

1969
03:32:42.920 --> 03:32:50.399
And it feels nice, really does feel nice to know

1970
03:32:50.680 --> 03:32:59.520
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

1971
03:32:59.719 --> 03:33:08.879
feel feel more comfort and to experience.

1972
03:33:10.600 --> 03:33:11.719
More of this.

1973
03:33:13.520 --> 03:33:28.680
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1974
03:33:30.239 --> 03:33:36.000
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1975
03:33:36.239 --> 03:33:50.719
that part becomes even more relaxed. Just by focusing on it.

1976
03:33:50.719 --> 03:34:02.920
It becomes even more calm and comfortable just by focusing.

1977
03:34:06.959 --> 03:34:12.719
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1978
03:34:15.479 --> 03:34:20.719
the parts that you have already focused on will continue

1979
03:34:22.120 --> 03:34:29.200
to relax deeply, and those parts that we've not yet

1980
03:34:29.399 --> 03:34:42.280
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1981
03:34:42.440 --> 03:34:56.680
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1982
03:34:56.719 --> 03:35:03.200
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1983
03:35:03.319 --> 03:35:11.399
aware of the feelings of your forehead and then your

1984
03:35:11.440 --> 03:35:19.120
background sounds like mister Herbert Opigeon can just allow you

1985
03:35:19.319 --> 03:35:26.760
to feel even more relaxed. Just means you're in the moment.

1986
03:35:29.920 --> 03:35:35.239
This isn't this isn't a sterile environment. This is the world.

1987
03:35:38.719 --> 03:35:44.760
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1988
03:35:45.280 --> 03:35:55.760
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1989
03:35:56.040 --> 03:36:03.799
notice how it becomes even more relaxed as you focus

1990
03:36:06.120 --> 03:36:10.600
only on my voice and that part of your body.

1991
03:36:15.799 --> 03:36:24.079
Moving down to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing

1992
03:36:26.559 --> 03:36:36.239
how your eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at

1993
03:36:36.280 --> 03:36:42.760
the same time, and all the muscles around your eyes

1994
03:36:43.000 --> 03:36:57.399
relaxing completely. Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips,

1995
03:36:57.879 --> 03:37:12.040
your tongue, your teeth. You comes the whole of your mouth, relaxing, calm.

1996
03:37:13.200 --> 03:37:13.760
And lease.

1997
03:37:18.200 --> 03:37:26.000
As you focus now on your jaw, not just the

1998
03:37:26.159 --> 03:37:29.639
parts of your jaw near your mouth and your chin,

1999
03:37:30.920 --> 03:37:34.000
but all the way up the size of your face

2000
03:37:35.200 --> 03:37:47.600
to your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more

2001
03:37:48.440 --> 03:38:10.440
relaxed and calm. Focusing on your neck, the front of

2002
03:38:10.559 --> 03:38:19.040
your neck and your throat relaxing and loose and calm.

2003
03:38:23.200 --> 03:38:29.000
The sides of your neck, the right and left side

2004
03:38:29.200 --> 03:38:47.520
of your neck relax and lease and calm. And now

2005
03:38:47.799 --> 03:38:54.559
the back of your neck, focusing on the back of

2006
03:38:54.680 --> 03:39:04.879
your neck, letting go of any tension that may have

2007
03:39:05.040 --> 03:39:17.639
been there before, and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort

2008
03:39:18.440 --> 03:39:25.639
and release. Then you can experience in the back of

2009
03:39:25.719 --> 03:39:38.600
your neck, moving down your back and moving either side

2010
03:39:38.680 --> 03:39:42.959
of your spine right from the top of your back.

2011
03:39:44.680 --> 03:39:45.920
All the way.

2012
03:39:45.959 --> 03:39:58.600
Down to the bottom of your back down to your

2013
03:39:58.719 --> 03:40:09.280
lower back. As you move up and down your spine,

2014
03:40:11.399 --> 03:40:15.840
you can feel the muscles either side of your spine

2015
03:40:18.040 --> 03:40:32.600
relaxing even more, and as those muscles relax that sense

2016
03:40:32.719 --> 03:40:43.200
of comfort starts to spread outwards from your spine into

2017
03:40:43.399 --> 03:40:50.000
both sides of your back. The top of your back,

2018
03:40:50.879 --> 03:40:57.120
the middle end your lower back, and as you scan

2019
03:40:58.840 --> 03:41:06.639
gently and slowly up and down your back, there's the

2020
03:41:06.799 --> 03:41:12.639
muscles in the top of your back relax and become looser.

2021
03:41:17.000 --> 03:41:23.000
The muscles in the middle of your back also seem

2022
03:41:23.120 --> 03:41:32.600
to just almost divide from each other, separating and almost melting.

2023
03:41:38.399 --> 03:41:44.360
And in your lower back there seems to be an

2024
03:41:44.440 --> 03:41:58.639
extra special feeling of comfort. The spreads into your hips.

2025
03:42:00.920 --> 03:42:08.760
Sit down your lower back, into your hips, into the

2026
03:42:08.959 --> 03:42:17.680
area where your cosix are, and into your buttocks, and

2027
03:42:17.799 --> 03:42:27.200
always muscles that spread bring your lower back into your

2028
03:42:27.319 --> 03:42:40.559
hip area, start to melt, start to really let go,

2029
03:42:47.239 --> 03:42:54.000
and even nowhere about to focus on your shoulders. Your

2030
03:42:54.200 --> 03:43:04.879
back and your spine will continue till let go, continue

2031
03:43:05.680 --> 03:43:20.559
to relax so calmly, and then she focus on your shoulders.

2032
03:43:22.360 --> 03:43:39.079
You may notice they're already feeling really loose. They're already.

2033
03:43:41.479 --> 03:43:48.000
Feeding calm.

2034
03:43:54.399 --> 03:44:05.040
The feeling those must source. The move from your neck

2035
03:44:06.479 --> 03:44:25.200
into your shoulders feels so soft and gentle, so smooth

2036
03:44:31.440 --> 03:44:53.959
and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders seems to

2037
03:44:54.399 --> 03:45:02.840
spread deep into your shoulders. That's sense of relaxation, not

2038
03:45:03.399 --> 03:45:17.200
just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also relaxing the

2039
03:45:17.360 --> 03:45:27.040
bones and moving all the way to underneath your arms,

2040
03:45:29.879 --> 03:45:35.799
relaxing a whole area between the tops of your shoulders

2041
03:45:37.159 --> 03:45:54.920
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and

2042
03:45:55.159 --> 03:46:03.520
comfortable in your shoulders, which sense that's.

2043
03:46:05.239 --> 03:46:07.200
Deep healing.

2044
03:46:10.239 --> 03:46:27.719
Message into your arms. You may feel almost as if

2045
03:46:27.840 --> 03:46:34.319
your arms are not even that because they're so relaxed,

2046
03:46:37.559 --> 03:46:47.879
so deeply relaxed, so.

2047
03:46:52.959 --> 03:46:53.280
Calm.

2048
03:47:08.479 --> 03:47:15.440
So this.

2049
03:47:23.000 --> 03:47:34.120
That feels spreading all the way down your arms to elbows,

2050
03:47:37.879 --> 03:48:07.520
including your elbows, circumfort spreads your way, interists, your forearms

2051
03:48:08.079 --> 03:48:34.920
under wrists so heavy yet the same time, sunlight and

2052
03:48:35.680 --> 03:49:05.159
gentle fuy sick now on.

2053
03:49:07.840 --> 03:49:31.959
Your hands, your hands.

So peaceful in your hands, the sensor.

2055
03:50:05.959 --> 03:50:07.719
Real pace.

2056
03:50:19.440 --> 03:50:33.799
Just seems to feel so familiar on your hands, relax

03:50:35.120 --> 03:52:40.120

your stock. Let's you go.

2066
03:59:45.239 --> 03:59:45.920
Everything.

2067
03:59:57.159 --> 04:00:03.159
So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

2068
04:00:03.239 --> 04:00:11.319
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

2069
04:00:12.159 --> 04:00:18.559
just walking down some steps and each step or twenty steps,

2070
04:00:18.680 --> 04:00:27.760
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

2071
04:00:28.319 --> 04:00:43.840
represents a deepening of that comfort, and the furvies you

2072
04:00:44.000 --> 04:00:50.040
walk down those steps deeper and more relaxed you feel.

2073
04:00:56.760 --> 04:03:44.559
So starting with number twenty twenty, ninety, eighteen, seventeen, sixteenhhhhhh

2074
04:04:47.159 --> 04:07:38.079
three fourhhhhhhhhhhhh four to well.

2075
04:08:36.959 --> 04:12:43.719
E ninehhhhhhhhhhh.

2076
04:11:56.000 --> 04:15:49.399
Eight siss six five.

2077
04:16:01.799 --> 04:20:46.760
Us four using one.

2078
04:21:36.639 --> 04:21:54.079
Now, as you focus on your eyes, you're gonna countdown

2079
04:21:54.479 --> 04:22:05.600
from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

2080
04:22:09.360 --> 04:22:17.879
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

2081
04:22:19.399 --> 04:22:36.440
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

2082
04:22:36.520 --> 04:22:44.840
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus

2083
04:22:45.000 --> 04:22:57.719
in on your eyes, you will become twice is relaxed

2084
04:23:00.399 --> 04:23:13.399
each number counting down that you may find the all

2085
04:23:13.559 --> 04:23:19.639
you want to do is just drift off to sleep.

2086
04:23:22.639 --> 04:23:29.239
And if that's what you want, then just allow yourself

2087
04:23:29.360 --> 04:23:44.000
to do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going

2088
04:23:44.120 --> 04:23:53.760
to begin counting down from ten down to one right

2089
04:23:53.920 --> 04:25:58.399
now two nine eight seven.

2090
04:26:11.639 --> 04:28:01.079
US US.

2091
04:28:01.559 --> 04:29:13.120
Five four.

2092
04:30:26.239 --> 04:32:20.159
Three US.

2093
04:32:16.319 --> 04:33:00.600
USA one.

2094
04:33:07.000 --> 04:33:19.680
So counted down from ten to one, ten.

2095
04:33:21.439 --> 04:33:23.880
Nine eight.

2096
04:33:26.479 --> 04:33:29.520
Seven six.

2097
04:33:31.479 --> 04:33:34.560
Five four.

2098
04:33:37.279 --> 04:33:40.840
Three two.

2099
04:33:43.360 --> 04:33:43.560
One.

2100
04:33:50.599 --> 04:33:53.479
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

2101
04:33:53.560 --> 04:33:57.439
to relax. Maybe it's a bit too fast for you

2102
04:33:57.799 --> 04:34:07.479
to notice the calming of your body, maybe even a

2103
04:34:07.560 --> 04:34:11.400
little bit of pressure there, like you're counting down from

2104
04:34:11.479 --> 04:34:14.119
ten to one. Would you expect me to do? Man,

2105
04:34:15.080 --> 04:34:18.560
expect me to just to go with floppy just because

2106
04:34:18.560 --> 04:34:28.200
you're counting down. If you try it again, but this time,

2107
04:34:28.279 --> 04:34:34.279
I'll go a bit slower this time, as you focus

2108
04:34:34.680 --> 04:34:39.279
on the whole of your body before we focus on

2109
04:34:39.360 --> 04:34:49.759
your legs. Just notice how your body does start to

2110
04:34:50.240 --> 04:35:10.959
feel more relaxed with every number that I countdown ten nine,

2111
04:35:16.799 --> 04:35:59.599
eight seven, six, five four three.

2112
04:36:33.959 --> 04:36:34.200
One.

2113
04:36:45.560 --> 04:36:51.240
I just notice how how you feel, generally, how your

2114
04:36:51.279 --> 04:37:06.439
body feels. It's not necessarily about counting down from ten

2115
04:37:06.520 --> 04:37:16.919
to one. It's that space that you have, that space

2116
04:37:17.119 --> 04:37:38.479
between being active physically or mentally, just sitting or lying down,

2117
04:37:39.200 --> 04:37:43.959
just being there, not doing anything, not saying anything, or

2118
04:37:44.840 --> 04:37:51.080
needing to think about anything. So it opens up a space,

2119
04:37:52.040 --> 04:38:01.200
you know, a bit of a space, a gap, and

2120
04:38:01.319 --> 04:38:05.919
the more I came down from ten to one, the

2121
04:38:05.959 --> 04:38:13.959
bigger that gap becomes. So there's that gap of calmness,

2122
04:38:15.360 --> 04:38:30.319
of comfort and relaxation. It's a nice feeling, and it

2123
04:38:30.639 --> 04:38:40.680
moves those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them.

2124
04:38:42.119 --> 04:38:42.520
Away.

2125
04:38:49.279 --> 04:39:01.720
Allows you to just slow down, someone to count a

2126
04:39:01.799 --> 04:39:08.279
game from ten down to one and notice that gap widening,

2127
04:39:10.520 --> 04:39:14.919
the gap, And as it widens, it's almost like the

2128
04:39:16.639 --> 04:39:34.200
stress and attention falls into the gap. It gives you

2129
04:39:34.319 --> 04:40:16.720
that distance, that space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six,

2130
04:40:29.479 --> 04:41:00.040
five four three.

2131
04:41:34.840 --> 04:41:35.040
One.

2132
04:41:46.959 --> 04:42:08.240
How did you, boy? Can you notice that? Do you

2133
04:42:08.400 --> 04:42:45.720
feeling calm? Do you feel relaxed? As we now focus

2134
04:42:45.840 --> 04:43:06.400
on your legs, just your legs. You're just gonna start

2135
04:43:06.599 --> 04:43:25.639
with focusing on your thighs. Of course, it's not the

2136
04:43:25.759 --> 04:43:34.240
most exciting thing to be doing, because I'm sure like

2137
04:43:34.400 --> 04:43:37.479
most of your body is not not going on right now.

2138
04:43:46.599 --> 04:43:52.840
Just focusing on the whole of your thighs, the tops

2139
04:43:52.919 --> 04:43:59.000
of your thighs, the size of your fighs, the bottoms

2140
04:43:59.040 --> 04:44:06.119
of your thighs. You're outer thighs and you're inner thighs. Basically,

2141
04:44:06.360 --> 04:44:08.400
the whole of your thigh that leads.

2142
04:44:09.159 --> 04:44:10.159
Into your hip.

2143
04:44:14.040 --> 04:44:24.759
And it goes down to your knee joints. Now, this

2144
04:44:25.000 --> 04:44:32.439
is a big area. It's a very heavy area. It's

2145
04:44:32.599 --> 04:44:39.040
very strong, probably the strongest muscles in your body or

2146
04:44:39.119 --> 04:44:39.840
in your thighs.

2147
04:44:50.040 --> 04:44:50.919
But I don't think we.

2148
04:44:52.680 --> 04:45:05.240
Perhaps will give enough attention to our thighs. Perhaps we

2149
04:45:05.400 --> 04:45:16.040
don't they acknowledge how important our thighs are to our lives,

2150
04:45:27.560 --> 04:45:37.000
how much they actually do for us all through our lives.

2151
04:45:44.119 --> 04:45:46.119
And it may seems.

2152
04:45:45.720 --> 04:45:46.599
That really weird.

2153
04:45:49.680 --> 04:45:55.799
I think that all of our body parts, especially our thighs,

2154
04:45:56.799 --> 04:46:04.119
needs some TLC, a bit of love, shame, a bit

2155
04:46:04.200 --> 04:46:22.840
of acknowledgement, thank you, gratitude for what our thighs do

2156
04:46:23.119 --> 04:46:32.759
for us. I don't know. This may sound it's strange.

2157
04:46:35.400 --> 04:46:36.880
Maybe you think why am I?

2158
04:46:37.680 --> 04:46:40.479
Surely I should be out in the garden hugging a

2159
04:46:40.599 --> 04:46:49.159
tree or something. It's hard to set my crophone up

2160
04:46:49.200 --> 04:46:49.720
on a tree.

2161
04:46:50.759 --> 04:46:52.319
That's what I'm doing this sing door something.

2162
04:46:52.319 --> 04:46:55.919
Wise, I wouldn't be outside hugging a tree. I can't

2163
04:46:55.959 --> 04:47:04.799
see the television from a tree. You move down to

2164
04:47:04.919 --> 04:47:14.520
your knees, you gain such an important part, and I

2165
04:47:14.639 --> 04:47:19.080
think we don't necessarily I speak to myself here if

2166
04:47:21.439 --> 04:47:26.240
I don't necessarily appreciate all that one needs to do

2167
04:47:26.439 --> 04:47:32.479
for me until I have a problem with my needs

2168
04:47:32.520 --> 04:47:33.759
occasionally if I wor.

2169
04:47:35.159 --> 04:47:36.040
Maybe i'll bash it.

2170
04:47:37.400 --> 04:47:42.919
It's aching for some reason. It's then that I realize

2171
04:47:44.080 --> 04:47:48.479
how much it does. The benefit of being able to

2172
04:47:49.439 --> 04:47:58.639
use my legs without any kind of physical discomfort is

2173
04:47:59.439 --> 04:48:08.159
a beautiful thing. That's possibly an appreciated tool. It's temporarily removed,

2174
04:48:09.319 --> 04:48:16.319
you know, that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,

2175
04:48:18.479 --> 04:48:24.119
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

2176
04:48:24.400 --> 04:48:27.799
sense of gratitude.

2177
04:48:28.520 --> 04:48:31.520
And love to your needs for all they do for you.

2178
04:48:42.159 --> 04:48:46.159
You can still have that attention or your thighs. Maybe

2179
04:48:46.360 --> 04:48:52.599
notice how your thighs feel. Maybe you noticed that they

2180
04:48:53.520 --> 04:49:11.360
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

2181
04:49:11.400 --> 04:49:18.840
bottoms of your legs, ships, your calf bottles, the bones between.

2182
04:49:18.639 --> 04:49:21.959
Your these your feet.

2183
04:49:23.240 --> 04:49:28.759
Incorporates, and the course your ankles so important.

2184
04:49:34.200 --> 04:49:35.479
Can anyone that's had.

2185
04:49:36.159 --> 04:49:41.720
Either, like the slightest sprain of an ankle, knows how.

2186
04:49:43.279 --> 04:49:46.080
How much we take our.

2187
04:49:46.200 --> 04:49:54.759
Ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange in a

2188
04:49:54.799 --> 04:50:00.400
way when you think that you know logically our lists

2189
04:50:00.520 --> 04:50:02.479
are a lot thinner than the.

2190
04:50:02.520 --> 04:50:07.360
Rest of their arms, which is okay, doesn't it can't

2191
04:50:07.360 --> 04:50:11.200
see any corn with that if you're just picking stuff up.

2192
04:50:12.720 --> 04:50:18.840
By ankles so much thinner than the rest of our legs.

2193
04:50:25.279 --> 04:50:29.319
And from a physics perspective, a logical.

2194
04:50:28.959 --> 04:50:32.599
Liven, it doesn't really make sense that all.

2195
04:50:32.560 --> 04:50:40.479
This weight would ultimately be resting on your ankles.

2196
04:50:41.119 --> 04:50:54.520
Then leading to your feet at a thin area, thin bone. Yeah,

2197
04:50:54.599 --> 04:50:56.439
it does so much great work.

2198
04:50:58.599 --> 04:51:08.119
Supports us for self body for a lifetime, helps us

2199
04:51:08.799 --> 04:51:18.200
to balance, helps you to get around, to be my wile.

2200
04:51:24.599 --> 04:51:32.279
It's the car muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

2201
04:51:32.680 --> 04:51:36.000
I couldn't see the part of calf muscles. Didn't seem

2202
04:51:36.040 --> 04:51:41.080
to do anything. Okay, if it worked around on tiptoes,

2203
04:51:41.919 --> 04:51:46.000
then what cloth muscles get some work? Of course that's

2204
04:51:46.080 --> 04:51:50.080
not true. The calf muscles being used, and then we

2205
04:51:50.560 --> 04:52:01.919
use their egs in your shinsh there to protect.

2206
04:52:03.919 --> 04:52:05.080
Looking on the legs.

2207
04:52:09.080 --> 04:52:10.279
Shaped in a way.

2208
04:52:11.880 --> 04:52:24.119
The most is a protector the poe leading cause to

2209
04:52:24.240 --> 04:52:25.439
your ankles.

2210
04:52:28.319 --> 04:52:29.040
And your feet.

2211
04:52:33.759 --> 04:52:35.439
I'm not going to focus on your feet.

2212
04:52:35.520 --> 04:52:37.080
I'm just going to focus on the legs.

2213
04:52:39.119 --> 04:52:40.159
That would be nice.

2214
04:52:42.080 --> 04:52:46.880
Now that I've mentioned your feet in cookie, it's not anyway,

2215
04:52:47.439 --> 04:52:49.680
So maybe I should focus on your feet on you.

2216
04:52:54.040 --> 04:52:58.439
You can have the me your awareness the same as

2217
04:52:58.520 --> 04:53:01.439
you have your always in awareness.

2218
04:53:02.319 --> 04:53:03.639
Even but we haven't been.

2219
04:53:03.639 --> 04:53:09.080
Focusing on your thighs for a few minutes when you're

2220
04:53:09.159 --> 04:53:26.360
focusing on your ankles. They stood that sensational confidence in

2221
04:53:26.520 --> 04:53:39.759
your thighs is that moments energy because a fives hold.

2222
04:53:41.479 --> 04:53:47.279
Lots of different sensations. Of course, there's no muscles, big

2223
04:53:47.639 --> 04:53:51.080
strong muscles that we have in our fis.

2224
04:53:59.439 --> 04:54:00.319
With this m.

2225
04:54:02.560 --> 04:54:15.759
Outside of the fights. Yes, outside, yeh, very sex sense

2226
04:54:15.880 --> 04:54:34.599
thing to a touch sens fut inside what's s
