00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:14.400
Oh?

5
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.879
It's nice?

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:30.600
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:37.000
Newland and please only listen when you can safely close

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:42.479
your eyes. And welcome to Q and A Friday. This

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.479
is Friday's version of let me bore you to sleep.

10
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:55.600
LMB white yes, ELM maybe yeah, LMB white yes. And

11
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:01.320
Vinnie was all calm and quiet and as soon as

12
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.840
I start talking, he jumps down and decides to make

13
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.519
as much sound as he can, bless his little bumb.

14
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:15.719
So yeah, it's.

15
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:19.719
What is it?

16
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.680
It's Friday the twenty diet for August.

17
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:38.000
Two thousand and twenty five. And by the way, I

18
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.519
try to say thank you to everyone that sent me

19
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.200
a PayPal gift, but there was I wasn't able to

20
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.239
contact everyone because I couldn't find a way to contact

21
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.879
see on PayPal usually has like an email address or something,

22
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.599
but on this one person, it didn't. All a couple

23
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:05.680
of people, so I do apologize, but I did post

24
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.400
thank you on my Facebook group, so I should let

25
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.479
you know. I've got a Facebook group called Jason Newland's

26
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:21.680
Boring Group and as it says, as you imagine, it's

27
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.879
probably not the most exciting place to be, but it's

28
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.479
really just for people that love listening to the Jason

29
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.000
to the Let Me Buoy to Sleep podcasts.

30
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:48.240
Yeah, okay, what we've done today.

31
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.360
I was going to say, Actually, if you want to

32
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.080
help me out, and this would really really help me

33
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:06.599
out a lot to get more placed on Google is

34
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.599
and also help the podcast out is wherever you're listening

35
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:11.879
to me.

36
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.879
Could you perhaps leave a review.

37
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.560
That would be brilliant and maybe regularly as well.

38
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.800
You know, if there's a.

39
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.599
Recording you particular like, maybe you can just say what

40
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:33.520
you like about it, because the more reviews I get

41
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:38.759
on my podcasts, whether it's on Spotify, if you're listening

42
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.280
on I don't know, it's quite a few different places

43
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.240
that you could be listening where we've got what we've

44
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:56.960
got Apple Podcasts, podcast Addict, Overcast, Spotify, my website, Jasonnuland,

45
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:03.479
dot com, cast Box, Deezer, my Heart Radio, Edge, pocket Casts,

46
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:14.360
Chrome and Tenor, pod Speaker, androidapp, Ivo's Audible, VLC, Alexa,

47
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:21.279
media Player, Roku, and many of us. Actually, if you

48
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.439
can do that, that would be really really helpful because

49
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.879
it can help me to reach more people and hopefully.

50
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.279
Help more people. Thank you very much.

51
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:43.199
So I haven't done a huge amount today. I woke up,

52
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.319
had my breakfast, took.

53
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:54.720
Vanoi out, and then we got rained on.

54
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:04.360
It was raining, and to start with, it's just like

55
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.839
a little bit, you know, spitting, as I say, just

56
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.759
a little bit weird word, isn't it weird term for

57
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:20.839
rain and being spat like yeah, lovely? But that was okay,

58
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.759
and then it started proper raining and I ran back.

59
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.240
This is about eight o'clock in the morning, so I'm

60
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.000
running back with Vinnie, and Vinnie decides.

61
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:37.360
He wants to start.

62
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:44.680
He wants to start smelling things, sniffing things like why

63
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:56.480
but yeah, memo, it's now warm in here.

64
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:02.079
What wasn't warm earlier? It wasn't hold, but it was cool.

65
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.680
I mean, I'm doing my top. Ah, it hasn't made

66
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:16.399
no difference. Scrape, just trying to look at some messages.

67
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:22.920
I got here, right, So I'll get on with the recording,

68
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.120
shall I don't normally I've just taken him out again.

69
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.959
There's quite a lot of screaming outside, but it is

70
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.240
in a distance, so I'm guessing.

71
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.519
It's possibly.

72
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:43.839
A like a party or something kids party, because it's

73
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.519
very high pitched, so I'm guessing that's what that is.

74
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.240
And it's it's not it's.

75
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.160
Not close by unless it's in someone's flat, but it

76
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.120
sounds like it's like a distance away.

77
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.240
You might hear it, you might not hear it.

78
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.600
I've got my curtains drawn, the windows are closed, which

79
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.959
is probably why it's hot in it.

80
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:19.680
They stuffy, and for some reason this is weird.

81
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.560
For some reason, there's a copweb and it's moving around.

82
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.680
So I'm wondering if the heating has come on. Shouldn't

83
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.199
really have come on. It's not that cold.

84
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:37.240
It's not warm outside, but it's not cold either. It

85
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:45.000
feels it really does feel like autumn is approaching. It's

86
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:49.879
very auetomny kind of ish, you know.

87
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:55.639
Yeah.

88
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.920
I took him out again a little while ago, about

89
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:08.560
an hour ago. And it's weird because Vinny's got into

90
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.759
this thing like he never used to bark at dogs,

91
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.519
and he always used to love saying loo to everyone,

92
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.360
including dogs. Now and then he changed and he started

93
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.920
to be a bit barking towards some dogs, but always

94
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.439
like really friendly to all people. And more recently over

95
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.240
the last few months, he's he knows who he likes

96
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.080
and he you know, he's not.

97
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.759
He's so, but he knows who he doesn't like.

98
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.759
And there's this particular couple with a dog and he

99
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:51.320
barks every time, and I don't know, they seem to

100
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.440
be annoyed by it. I can't help him bark it.

101
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.600
I mean he does. That's what dogs do, isn't it.

102
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.200
I make sure he keep him away, and he's it's

103
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.559
not like he's a scary dog or any think. He's

104
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:09.720
a tiny little jack Russell. But I don't know if

105
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.039
it's the dog or the people that he's barking at,

106
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.000
because I'm pretty sure I saw them out without the

107
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.159
dog once and there's barking at them.

108
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:20.159
So I don't know.

109
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.759
He's just got his own sense of I guess who

110
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:27.440
he likes and who doesn't like, and I can't figure

111
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:33.440
it out. So yeah, it's a shame because he barks

112
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:38.039
at the wrong dogs as well. It's just the dogs

113
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.960
that have got no like the nice dogs.

114
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.639
Not always.

115
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.960
There's a few dogs that are not so good and

116
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:50.080
they look like they want to eat him. But a

117
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:55.600
few dogs you'll bark at and they're so gentle. But

118
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.440
then he's got a handful of dogs that he loves

119
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.679
that he spends time with, and you know, he doesn't

120
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.399
necessarily play with them, but he's just happy to be

121
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.320
around them. But he gives the attention to the owner,

122
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:13.840
to the human. And then there's three dogs that he's

123
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.120
friends with that he will play with, and he's not

124
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.320
particularly interested in the owner. He is still I mean,

125
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.279
he'll get treats. He's always around. That's his main focus

126
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.960
in life is to get treats. But at the same time,

127
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:32.960
he also likes to play with the dog. I just

128
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.159
can't keep track of I don't really I wish there

129
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.320
was a way of communicating with him in a way

130
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:49.480
that would make sense of his behavior. I'm no dog expert.

131
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.240
And before anyone says, why don't you just watch those

132
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:56.879
dog those programs on dogs and the dog expert TV

133
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.279
programs you can probably watch lots of on YouTube, and

134
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.519
the answer is no, I can't do that because as

135
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.320
soon as the dog comes on the screen, Vinnie lets

136
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:11.240
me go. There's a dog on the screen, which is

137
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:17.120
very annoying, especially when I'm watching a movie and it's

138
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.039
like early hours of the morning or it's the evening

139
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.440
time when I really don't want him to be barking,

140
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.399
you know, like nine ten at night, or I'm usually

141
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:26.000
in bed by them.

142
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.720
But if I'm.

143
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.759
Watching a movie and a dog comes on, it's so.

144
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.679
Rare rah rah rah raight rare right rare rare.

145
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.639
Okay, he barks. He doesn't do the sound like made,

146
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:48.519
but he barks. And there's been times I had to

147
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:59.759
turn the movie off because he won't stop barking, and

148
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.600
it's just like stop it.

149
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:07.440
Man, please store pat.

150
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:19.559
So, yeah, we went out earlier, came back. Downstairs flat

151
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.480
is being refurbished. This is funny, well it's not funny,

152
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.000
but they're putting in a brand new kitchen.

153
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:27.480
Now.

154
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.840
The person lived down there for a year, because.

155
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:38.639
That's where Lucas lived. She moved in. Two people were

156
00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:43.200
getting their bathroom their kitchens done. Uncle sausages one of them,

157
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.000
and another person downstairs.

158
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.519
I didn't I have had.

159
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:52.159
My kitchen done. She called the council. That's what she

160
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.240
told me. This is the lady that was living in

161
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:59.440
that flat for a year. She moved down recently to

162
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.840
say when am I getting my kitchen done?

163
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.600
About herself rather not about me?

164
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.320
And they told her but this is what she told me.

165
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.879
She said they said to her that the kitchen had

166
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:15.600
already be done a couple of years back, which I

167
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.440
know is untrue because.

168
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.639
I probably would have remembered that, wouldn't I don't you

169
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.320
think it's like.

170
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:31.720
Nothing that interesting has happened in his flat when he

171
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.039
lived there, in a sense of anything. I mean, his

172
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.399
windows were hanging on by a nail. Its front windows,

173
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.879
they would like rail.

174
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:41.840
When it was.

175
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.080
Windy, there'd be a breeze when all the windows were closed,

176
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:51.200
they literally it would blow you over. So because it

177
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:53.799
was just like all loose, the counselor came around and

178
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:03.320
hammered a couple of nails in and that's it. It's like, wow, Okay.

179
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.519
So when she moved in and she she wanted a

180
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.519
new kitchen and a new barthroom and all this stuff,

181
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.399
and the council said no, because I've always been done,

182
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:20.080
which I hadn't had been done but maybe twenty years ago.

183
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.759
And I've been in.

184
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:31.879
All the flats except one. Yeah, I've not been one

185
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.320
flat I've not been in I don't think. But I've

186
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.320
been in all the other flats, not like regularly, but

187
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:44.480
I've seen the kitchens in every flat. I mean, downstairs

188
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:50.039
is pretty much identical to my flat below me is

189
00:14:50.080 --> 00:15:00.360
the same layout, and Luke's old flat I'm imagining up theirs,

190
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:01.799
the one that I've never been in, would be the

191
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:11.720
same design, the same layout. However, perhaps not actually because

192
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:26.960
Uncle Sausages a flat. Yeah, that's weird. Uncle Sausages flat was.

193
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:30.679
Maybe not.

194
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:39.399
Maybe it wasn't different, No, it probably know it's the

195
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.759
same layout, the same layout as downstairs as well. Yeah,

196
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.639
same layout. I'm just trying to remember because I've not

197
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.799
been in that flat very often. It's been a while

198
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.960
since I've been in there, and I know I've got

199
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.360
Sausages Flat layout quite well, and my own of course,

200
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.720
and you know the one that my friend used to

201
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.039
live in.

202
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.720
I went in there a.

203
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.960
Couple of times since the new person moved in. I

204
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.879
should have moved down now, but by went in there

205
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.519
a couple of times.

206
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.440
It's very weird.

207
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:16.200
I didn't like being in there, although it looked nothing

208
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:17.240
like it did.

209
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:21.840
It was really if you close your eyes.

210
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.759
And someone took you in there and you didn't know

211
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.320
where you was, took you into one of the rooms,

212
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.279
not the kitchen, in the bathroom because it looks the same,

213
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:33.960
but it took you into one of the rooms and

214
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.799
it's like you wouldn't necessarily know where you was to

215
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:46.200
start with. I mean, the windows the same, but the decord,

216
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:55.919
the furniture is very different, very different. It was much neater, tidier. Yeah,

217
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:05.759
it's much more just nicer, very I would say, minimalist.

218
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.319
Not that he was a hoarder, but it's you know,

219
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:14.240
it had less stuff in there, just different.

220
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:17.240
Kitchen.

221
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.880
The kitchen look different as well.

222
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.000
But then you know he had a new fridge, freezer,

223
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:31.519
new cooker, new microwave, new toaster.

224
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:32.359
New kettle.

225
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.799
And how do I know that because I'm the one

226
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.640
that bought it all.

227
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.559
Yep, yeah, and a new TV. I got that for

228
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.920
her as well. Why did you do that?

229
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:48.680
Then? I don't know.

230
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.559
I just wanted to help.

231
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:56.880
And this is last summer, but yeah, hey, not this summer,

232
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:05.000
but last year two thousand and twenty four. She did

233
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:06.880
say she was going to give me, give me money

234
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.039
back for it, but she didn't.

235
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:19.880
So I'm trying to think, what is that noise out there?

236
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:28.480
Maybe it's a birthday party. Good on them, that's the

237
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.119
thing I try, you know, if there's if I.

238
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:31.960
Was doing.

239
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.799
A recording where I needed complete silence. I mean, that's

240
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.519
the ideal situation personally, But as long as I've got

241
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.480
Vinnie Ein Treats on the floor, there ain't going to

242
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.400
be complete silence, And as long as I'm talking, it's

243
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:55.680
not going to be complete silence. But because I can

244
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:57.839
hear it, I don't know if you can hear.

245
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:03.759
It, it's not a distraction for me now, although I

246
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.160
guess it is because I mentioned in it, but not

247
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.559
in a kind of annoying way.

248
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:14.200
But if I was sitting here doing and like now,

249
00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.160
i'd like to folk, you'd focus on your toenails. We're

250
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.000
going to relax your toenails, and moving up to your pubes.

251
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:26.119
It was that kind of where I would be trying

252
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.200
to be all sensible and serious.

253
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.799
And deeply relaxed.

254
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.960
It's a bit of incongruents when internally I'm thinking.

255
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.559
Will you shut up that noise?

256
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:44.440
You know?

257
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.400
And every now and the getting up and shouting out

258
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.839
the window and sitting back down.

259
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.920
And continue that feeling.

260
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.839
Of your knees knocking together. I don't know why that would.

261
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.480
Happen, So I suppose I should just get on with

262
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.519
the The point the reason why I'm doing this recording,

263
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:13.960
shouldn't I Q and a Friday, no no jingle.

264
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:25.160
Us week? Okay, there go, there we go. I'm losing laugh.

265
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.279
Oh okay, sorry, I just got a message from Kara.

266
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.559
Thanks Carra. That made me laugh. Your message made me laugh.

267
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.559
I'm going to read it out because it's not private,

268
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:40.319
but oh it is private, it's not.

269
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.240
I'm my good.

270
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.759
Oh my gracious, I'm losing my marbles laughing over Luke

271
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:50.279
embarrassing you by saluting magpies. I love it so much,

272
00:20:50.480 --> 00:21:02.039
Thank you, Carra. That was yesterday's recording. So, by the way,

273
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.400
anyone who watched my little I did this little like

274
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:10.119
blowing and kiss thing a couple of days ago, and

275
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.759
it was AI. I did say it was I said

276
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.119
thank you again for your birthday, which is I created

277
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.720
this AI video from a photo I have better teeth

278
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.720
here and it's been blowing and then this big smile

279
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:28.640
and like perfect teeth. I mean, my teeth ain't awful,

280
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.680
but like they're not. It looks like a kind of

281
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.240
I had my teeth done, you know, they were like

282
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:41.480
perfectly sparky white and in fact, I don't think if

283
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.799
I smile my teeth. That amount of teeth doesn't show.

284
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.160
If that makes sense, I'd have to lift my upper

285
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.039
lift up like look, I was just doing it and

286
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:57.000
it didn't actually make sense.

287
00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:57.720
I can't.

288
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.480
I can't tell you what I had to do and

289
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.640
do it at the same time because you it's not understandable.

290
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.559
So I would have to lift my upper lift up

291
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.519
in order for my or.

292
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.839
Stayfle of up I say a game that didn't work,

293
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:17.640
or you know, pushing them up somehow me trying to

294
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.720
tell you that is this, I have a favor on my.

295
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.240
In order for you to see all my teeth.

296
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:31.400
See, it doesn't quite work, but it's quite amazing though,

297
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:33.759
because the rest of me looks fine. My face looks

298
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:42.559
the same. It's it's kind of it does look like me.

299
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:49.359
Well it is me, but there's part of it which

300
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.559
is quite amazing. I think because my face because as

301
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.720
you look at it like that is how my face

302
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.920
would go generalely if I smiled. Apart from that, there wouldn't.

303
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:08.880
It's not as much too Fitch. Yeah, AI is.

304
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.519
Getting very clever.

305
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.559
No so.

306
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.160
Q and A Friday.

307
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.839
I posted a quh Yeah, any questions for Q and

308
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:22.680
A Friday? I posted it on.

309
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.880
Monday, I do believe.

310
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.160
So that's what I've tried to do because a couple

311
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.839
of weeks ago, I think I posted it on the

312
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:38.400
Wednesday and I've got one question, so and I didn't

313
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.599
do I didn't do it because one question wasn't enough

314
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:46.359
really to do a whole podcast, although technically it probably was.

315
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:52.200
Thinking about it, I mean, I've not even started the

316
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.440
questions and I'm still down nearly half an hour.

317
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:58.640
I can't help it. I just can't stop talking.

318
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:02.240
So I've got a new way of doing it now.

319
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:05.240
So on a Monday, if I remember, I post this

320
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:09.440
image which is on a post on Jason Newland's boring

321
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:15.200
group why Not Join, And it's just basically color of thing,

322
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:17.839
color thing, and it says any questions for this week's

323
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.000
Q and a Friday, Kiss Kiss Kiss, and then a

324
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.119
couple of arrows either side pointing down to a yellow

325
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:31.240
part of the image, and then the date when the

326
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.480
Q and A Friday will be so, in this case

327
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.160
to twenty ninth of April. And I'm going to post

328
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:44.759
one of those if I remember every Monday, but just

329
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.480
change the date, you know, I mean, next week's one

330
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:47.920
will be.

331
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:51.440
Why is this not opening.

332
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.920
There it is, so I want all all comments, right,

333
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:15.119
got it? So I've got questions from Maria, Hope, Rich, Robin, Kathleen, Mary,

334
00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:19.960
Dev and Ryl.

335
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:21.480
So I'm going to ask you.

336
00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:28.200
I'm going to answer Dev's question first because, as it

337
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.799
says here, Hello Jason. Also belated birthday greetings to you.

338
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:32.559
Thank you Dev.

339
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.599
This is a sort of rollover question from last week,

340
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.279
but I probably posted it too late. Yeah, I think

341
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.319
you posted it. I'd already made the recording at that point.

342
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.240
So I'm going to answer Dev's question first because of that.

343
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:53.839
Because this is from last week. As you were involved

344
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:58.279
in the comedy scene, I wanted to know, are there

345
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.640
any books or audiobooks.

346
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:07.839
Podcasts, etc. That you would recommend for learning about writing comedy?

347
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:17.359
Thanks in advance. There what I would advise that I

348
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:19.880
didn't do this myself, which really explains why I wasn't

349
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:24.200
very good. But there are comedy courses you can do

350
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:29.759
depending on where you live, of course, so I'm based

351
00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:33.319
in England, but at the time I lived in London,

352
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.519
which is still England, and they had a comedy course.

353
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.240
I forget what it was called, but it was very

354
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:46.759
popular and I would say probably sixty percent of the

355
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:50.480
new comedians had been on that course, maybe forty percent,

356
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.839
but quite a few comedians had been on that course,

357
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.279
and quite a few of them went on to do okay.

358
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.559
So I went on to do really really well. I

359
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:07.000
didn't do the course, and yeah, I didn't. I don't

360
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.160
know why. I'm not sure. I kind of wish I had.

361
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.599
I would have benefited from doing that.

362
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.039
But then also I think I did go to a.

363
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.680
I did go to a Manday Knight, who was really

364
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.960
I don't know if she's still doing comedy, but she was.

365
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.880
I used to going really well with her, and.

366
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:39.480
She was originally in a double act.

367
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:42.319
Where she did improv. She's really good.

368
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:47.680
She's a really funny, funny lady, and she held this

369
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:51.920
improv class. So I went along to do it, to do.

370
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:53.279
It, and.

371
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.400
Thinking about it the way I've kind of turned out, I'm.

372
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:04.599
I reckon I might have been better.

373
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.799
At doing some kind of improv, you know, bouncing off

374
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:18.880
other people. That might have been a better way for

375
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.119
me to go instead of sit standing on stage just

376
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:28.599
trying to, you know, remember something that I'd written down

377
00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:29.000
at home.

378
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.119
So there's lots of different ways to do it. So

379
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:40.200
it's I think if.

380
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.519
I'm going to come from the I mean, one answer

381
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:44.400
to your question is that our books out there, there

382
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.200
are where books on how to do stand up So

383
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.920
I'm going to do all the work for you instead

384
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.799
of you going online and searching for yourself.

385
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.240
I'll do it. Don't worry. I've got plenty of time.

386
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:11.240
I'm not busy on Amazon. There is as a chicken

387
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:21.440
two books if I remember rightly. Okay, this is one

388
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.079
I don't know, Old Richard Belzer. Okay, he's very famous

389
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.039
comedian in America. How to be a stand up Comedian.

390
00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.640
So that's a hardback book. I've not read that.

391
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.359
The uh.

392
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:43.799
Where is it?

393
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.000
This is a book I used to have called the

394
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.519
Last Laugh of the world of stand up comics. Now

395
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.000
I almost want to get it again, but I'm kind

396
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:00.839
of cutting down on my books now. But if you

397
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.680
want to know about the history of stand up comedy

398
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:07.720
in America, because that's pretty much where originated.

399
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:12.000
Stand up comedy is an American thing.

400
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:21.599
Really, they were doing alternative comedy in the fifties. We

401
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:28.359
started doing it in the late seventies, you know, I

402
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:31.839
say we, But in this country they've always been decades ahead.

403
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:36.119
Of us, not anymore, not anymore, but for a long time.

404
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:45.240
And the English stand up comedians we've kind of when

405
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.039
I say the newer breed, I'm talking last few decades,

406
00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:57.079
hugely influenced by American comedians, hugely influenced. But I would

407
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:01.119
say possibly Americans are now influenced by us maybe as well,

408
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:05.960
because because of the Internet, everything's kind of in the

409
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:12.440
same time span. Now we're not really behind anymore. But

410
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.400
that book, The Last Laugh, I won't teach you to

411
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.279
do stand up comedy, but it's really I used to

412
00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:21.839
have it in one of the first books on comedy

413
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:25.759
I ever bought about nineteen ninety one.

414
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.519
I lent it to someone and I never got it back.

415
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:35.519
Who was it that? Anyway, it was a really good book.

416
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.960
Talks about I'll give you an example of the book.

417
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:45.640
Out of it talks about Rodney da Dangerfield. I said,

418
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:56.359
Rodney Daingefield was a comedian in the sixties and he

419
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:00.200
went he basically quit comedy for about ten years, and

420
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.240
then he came back and he became famous in the seventies.

421
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.680
But he was like a lot older. And you know,

422
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.359
I mean, if you think about Rodney dangefal I don't know.

423
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:18.440
He's no longer with us, but I can't even remember

424
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:22.440
him being young. Of course he was at one point,

425
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.160
we all was at one point, but he ay was

426
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:30.759
that that look he had made it kind of fitted

427
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:35.000
in with his comedy. So maybe he was too young

428
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:39.160
before because a lot of the stand up comedy really

429
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:44.359
kind of post war, post Second World War. They would

430
00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:49.640
you know, you know, the forties, late forties, fifties, there'd

431
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:53.720
be lots of coffee shops around America and people were

432
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:58.279
performing coffee shops. They didn't nothing practically, but you know,

433
00:32:58.359 --> 00:32:59.599
there's there'd be there'd be.

434
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:00.200
A whole.

435
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.640
Alternative kind of culture, and that's where people like Lenny

436
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:11.640
Bruce came up, and George Carlin and maybe Richard Pryor

437
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:16.559
as well. And then in the sixties, Lenny Bruce was

438
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:22.920
a huge style in America for a while, and Richard

439
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.440
Pryor was in the sixties to start with. It probably

440
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.720
started in the fifties actually, but he was in the sixties.

441
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:32.720
He became well known in America for a while because

442
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.960
he'd I think he said something, what did Richard Pryor say?

443
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.160
He earned a really good living for about five years

444
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:48.319
mimicking Bill Cosby, and by that I mean like with

445
00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:56.440
the jokes, with the act, nothing else. And for those

446
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:00.759
that don't know Bill Cosby, don't worry. I'm not going

447
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.960
anywhere weird with this. I think a lot of people

448
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:13.760
outside of America maybe don't realize how big Bill Cosby was.

449
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.320
And I'm not talking about TV wise. I'm talking about

450
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:22.360
before television, not before television was invented, but before television.

451
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:25.159
He was on television. But anyone in.

452
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.960
The Western world is probably very well aware of the

453
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:33.079
Bill Cosby Show, or maybe remembers it if they're you know,

454
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:37.800
over a certain age. Maybe I don't think it's shown

455
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:41.480
very often now for some reason, the reruns aren't on

456
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:42.400
TV anymore.

457
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:45.840
So he was.

458
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:52.280
He was the biggest paid star. It was weird because

459
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.599
in about nineteen eighty nine, nineteen eighty eight something like that,

460
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.840
the three biggest paid star, according to the newspapers I

461
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:09.199
was reading, were all Americas, and the biggest page stars

462
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:10.519
in America anyway.

463
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:12.559
Entertainers.

464
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:18.960
So you had Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, and Prince and

465
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.400
they were all making like one hundred million a year

466
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:27.320
something like that. Prince was constantly on tour, selling millions

467
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:33.719
of albums. Bill Cosby was on TV and his TV

468
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:39.159
show was everywhere the most famous comedian in the world.

469
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:42.719
Although I didn't know he was a comedian. I just

470
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:47.039
knew he was Doctor Huxtable. I didn't know him as

471
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.800
being didn't we know.

472
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.239
I mean, I knew he was called Bill Cosby because

473
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.679
it was the It wasn't the Huxtable show, it was

474
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:54.679
it was The Cosby Show.

475
00:35:55.719 --> 00:36:03.679
Confused me a little bit. That doesn't take much. I mean,

476
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:04.480
isn't that amazing?

477
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:11.199
But before that, Bill Cosby, I'm not saying that he

478
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:16.840
was more famous, but he was a huge star long

479
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:22.679
before the Bill Cosby Show that you know, Cosby's in America.

480
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:28.639
He filled out arenas all over America with his stand up.

481
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:35.760
He had best selling albums comedy albums in the sixties,

482
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:44.719
huge star sixties and seventies. He was massive, and of

483
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:47.320
course he was massive in the eighties as well, for

484
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:48.039
a different thing.

485
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:49.719
He was huge.

486
00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:50.880
It's really.

487
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:54.639
I don't mean to gush.

488
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:56.280
It's a weird word, isn't it.

489
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.719
I don't mean to be all gushy about it, especially

490
00:36:58.760 --> 00:37:01.679
as you know, I'm forgetting about any personal stuff to

491
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:06.079
do with him. But it was on a level that

492
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:12.639
I don't think anyone really reached because he reached a

493
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:18.440
much wider audience than someone like Richard Pryor, who are

494
00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.920
a lot of people, because a lot of comedians they

495
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:25.159
would say, they may say maybe not now, but they

496
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:30.800
used to say, this is Lenny Bruce was pretty much

497
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:40.360
the most influential stand up comedian ever. But the king

498
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:46.679
of comedy was Richard Pryor, and that used to be

499
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.840
kind of the pretty much the understood accepted I'm not

500
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.119
going to say the word narrative, also just said it

501
00:37:55.480 --> 00:38:00.840
of stand up comedy. Like Lenny Bruce, he broke through barriers.

502
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.159
He got arrested constantly, and he pretty much he died for.

503
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.199
His art, you could say.

504
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:12.639
And he was funny, but then he got very he

505
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.239
got caught up in all the court cases, and that's

506
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.039
all he did on stage was just talk about his

507
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:24.360
court cases. Richard Pryor, and he broke a lot of taboos,

508
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:31.480
which more than probably anyone else at the time. But

509
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:36.280
then when Richard Pryor went on stage, he got away

510
00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:41.000
with a lot more because it was you know, it

511
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:41.960
was years later.

512
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:45.840
And also.

513
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.440
He could talk about being black and he couldn't get

514
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:53.920
in trouble for that Lenny Bruce should talk about the

515
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.199
different things between the races in America, and he got

516
00:38:58.199 --> 00:38:59.079
in trouble for it.

517
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.840
People got upset.

518
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.519
But Richard Pryde, I don't know why that's funny, but

519
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:06.639
just Richard Pryor did it in a day. I'm just

520
00:39:06.639 --> 00:39:10.039
thinking of I'm remembering Richard Pryor. That's all I'm laughing at.

521
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:12.639
It is God remembering some of the stuff that he

522
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:18.159
used to talk about. John And I'll tell you one

523
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:21.719
of his jukes from his albums Witch Prior. I can't

524
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:26.719
even tell you the name of the album, okay, I mean,

525
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:34.239
bearing in mind right now, you can't buy the album.

526
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:40.239
They put a sticker over the cut of the image

527
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.519
of it, like if you watch it, if you go

528
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:45.760
on Amazon or stuff like that, they will cover over

529
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:46.159
the word.

530
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:49.199
But in the seventies they didn't.

531
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:56.880
But one of his names is albums was that N

532
00:39:56.960 --> 00:40:04.840
word is crazy by some by centennial N word, and

533
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.119
you know, and he used that word a lot, but

534
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.039
these albums were named with that word on it. Now,

535
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:17.960
Lenny Bruce, if he'd have done something like that, it'd

536
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:21.719
still be in prison, would still be alive probably well,

537
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.639
but Richard Pryor got away with that just shows you

538
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.400
how different things were by the time Richard Pryor was famous.

539
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.559
But one of his jokes on one of his albums is.

540
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:42.000
There's two brothers. As he said, two brothers.

541
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:47.000
Stand because he was talking about the cliche of different

542
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:50.239
body parts and sizes between races and stuff and not

543
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:53.239
go into it. But he said, I won't do that

544
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:54.599
his voice. I used to be able to do his

545
00:40:54.679 --> 00:41:00.719
voice quite well. Two brothers standing on a bridge, weewie's

546
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.719
that's side by side, we in off a bridge, and

547
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:13.880
one of them says, oh, the war's cold, and everyone says, yeah,

548
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:20.119
it's deep too, so it's yeah, it's quite a funny joy.

549
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:26.079
It's funny when he says it. I just think that'sudden

550
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.239
the star. I can't tell you this. You know he's

551
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:31.320
worth listening to. If you've never I realized that's not

552
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:35.320
the question. But if you want to hear something that

553
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:42.199
you've perhaps never heard before, maybe check out a Richard

554
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:49.400
Pryor album, because if you've seen Richard Pryor just in

555
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:52.480
movies and as I had up to the age of

556
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.360
about eighteen or nineteen, I didn't know he did stand

557
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:07.480
up comedy. Maybe eighteen, I knew he was in Brewster's

558
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:12.880
Millions and See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Stir

559
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:17.519
Crazy and all those movies that he did with What's

560
00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:22.320
his Name and Superman three. So you know, I loved

561
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:25.559
Richard Pryor when I was a little kid or growing up.

562
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:26.599
I loved him.

563
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:30.519
It was hilarious, but I didn't know he did stand

564
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:33.400
up comedy. And there's no way in the world that

565
00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:35.559
anyone was going to show me his stand up comedy

566
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:38.920
because I was a little kid, because it was adults

567
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:42.320
rating and my dad was never into that kind of

568
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:47.400
stuff anyway, so I never got to hear it. And

569
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.320
then when I was nine to about eighteen, I I thought, well,

570
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:55.400
I was in the second hand shop, I think, like

571
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:58.440
a record shop, and I was looking through the albums

572
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:05.079
because I started listening to albums like Steve Martin, Emo Phillips.

573
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.119
I started buying albums as well, so Emo Phillips, Steve Martin,

574
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:14.920
Steven Wright, Bill Cosby. There's quite a few Bill Cosby albums.

575
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.920
And it was like I was so transfixed. And I

576
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.800
started getting videos as well, so Steve Martin, as I said,

577
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:32.199
comics from here as well, Jerry Sadovich, loads loads of

578
00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:34.360
sort of stand up to me. I had quite a

579
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:41.360
nice library actually of videos, and I discovered Richard Pryor,

580
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:45.639
so that the two things that I really remember discovering

581
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:50.199
was well, Steve Main. I had no idea that he

582
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:53.800
was a comedian. I'd seen him in movies, and some

583
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:57.440
of his early movies I loved, long before he was

584
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:02.280
famous in this country. I watched these films like Dead

585
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:07.719
Men Don't Way Plaid and Lonely Guy and The Man

586
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:11.480
with Two Brains and stuff like that. What's the other

587
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.800
one two of me? Or I forget it, but they

588
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:20.079
were good with Lily Tomlin that was so funny. And

589
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.519
then he did the Jerk and he became more famous worldwide.

590
00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:27.639
He was famous in America already. I didn't know that

591
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:32.199
he was selling out arenas doing stand up comedy. Now,

592
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:35.880
Dev you're probably regretting asking.

593
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:37.719
Me that question, because you got me onto a subject

594
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.360
that I didn't realize that still had a bit of

595
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:49.000
passion for, which is weird. But yeah, when I discovered

596
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:53.719
Richard Pryor's albums, I couldn't believe what I was listening

597
00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:57.239
to because there was stuff that I wasn't supposed to

598
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:01.639
be saying, still not allowed to say, but it was

599
00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:05.320
I hadn't heard, hadn't really heard other people say it.

600
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:13.000
And then I discovered George Carlin, who in a way

601
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:17.719
probably made me laugh even more. Some of his earlier

602
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:24.119
stand up comic albums so funny, and I really got

603
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:28.639
into him probably in the early probably about nineteen ninety

604
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.000
and then ninety one, so I was listening to him

605
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:33.559
quite a lot. Then when I kind of started out

606
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:37.199
doing comedy, and.

607
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.719
I had it influenced me in no way.

608
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:46.119
So I was listening in regularity, regularly, I was listening

609
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:52.199
a lot to some of the greatest comedians, and it

610
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.559
did not improve my performance.

611
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:56.360
And also I was.

612
00:45:56.360 --> 00:46:03.079
Seeing in person some brilliant comedians regularly every week, sometimes

613
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:07.480
two three times a week, including those that I used

614
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.719
to be on the same bill with, and I still

615
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:12.199
didn't get any better. Well, I got a little bit better,

616
00:46:12.239 --> 00:46:18.440
but I didn't. I didn't improve to the point where

617
00:46:18.679 --> 00:46:23.840
you kind of think I would do being around such talent,

618
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:28.000
which I was for a long time. I mean I

619
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.679
was involved with the comedy scene for a long time,

620
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:32.760
long long time.

621
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:37.000
But anyway, Yes, So.

622
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:43.599
Derek and Clyde was another one was Derek and Clive,

623
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:52.679
Derek and Clive, which was what was it, Peter Cook

624
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:59.599
and Dudley Moore. I discovered them in nineteen ninety or

625
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:03.760
maybe it was nine, maybe nineteen ninety. I remember listening

626
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.159
to it during my breaks at work with another colleague

627
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:06.880
at work.

628
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:09.960
And we were just laughing.

629
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:15.360
It was so funny because I'd never heard an English

630
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:19.519
person talk like that say The things that they were

631
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:28.760
saying was so outrageous, so wrong on every level, but hilarious.

632
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.199
I just found it absolutely hilarious.

633
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:37.719
And there was three albums, I think, including the live ones,

634
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:41.960
so there's Adnauseum Come Again, and I think it was

635
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:46.000
just a live one I think, unless there was four albums,

636
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:52.360
I think it was three. Anyway, as far as books go,

637
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:56.480
has it got a couple? I can't find the one

638
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:58.800
I was looking for. So there are quite a few

639
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:01.519
stand up books Stand Up Comic, How to Become a

640
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:02.639
Stand Up Comic.

641
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:10.760
On Amazon, so there's a few.

642
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:14.280
But what I would probably recommend if you if you're

643
00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:17.519
living in London, or if you're in a city or

644
00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:22.480
just check there might be something local is if you

645
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:28.960
can find a course which you can go to, you

646
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.920
like a four week course, one evening a week or

647
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:35.480
one Saturday afternoon a week for six weeks or whatever,

648
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:42.280
because the benefit of that is, firstly you'll be it'll

649
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.920
be an introduction to the comedy world.

650
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:49.000
A much probably quite a.

651
00:48:48.920 --> 00:48:52.320
Gentle way to do it in some ways, because I

652
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:57.280
think quite often the way they they like format it

653
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:02.960
is you go along. You're in a room with maybe five, six, ten,

654
00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:06.039
twelve people that you've never met before, but they're in

655
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:09.079
the same they are the same level as you. They're

656
00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:11.559
the same if they're just starting out, or maybe they've

657
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:14.159
done a few gigs, or maybe they've never done it,

658
00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:20.440
but what they're have in common with you is enthusiasm

659
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.800
and you know, the dream of doing it, and maybe

660
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:28.239
most of them have never been on stage before.

661
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:30.800
As a comedian.

662
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:37.039
And then you've got the teacher who is going to

663
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:40.920
be very much likely or have many many years of

664
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:46.480
being a comedian and thinking about this course. In London,

665
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:51.280
they used to have headliners from the comedy circuit in

666
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:55.320
London every week come along and talk to the group,

667
00:49:57.559 --> 00:49:59.559
which is something you're not going to get in any

668
00:49:59.559 --> 00:49:59.920
other city.

669
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.079
Cuation. It's you know, it's I.

670
00:50:05.039 --> 00:50:07.280
Mean, you probably can go to a comedy club and

671
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:10.719
say hello to someone who's been on stage. You know,

672
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:15.599
they'd a headliner and self, I really enjoyed your performance.

673
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:18.920
They might say thanks, But the chances of them sitting

674
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:22.360
down for half an hour and actually going through what

675
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:24.920
it's like to be a comedian and getting advice.

676
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:29.280
Even I struggled to get that.

677
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:34.000
And I was a comic and I knew these people,

678
00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:37.199
you know, once I started, I got to know some people,

679
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:42.400
and I didn't get hardly any advice. I think I

680
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.239
was given up as a lost cause first, you know,

681
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:50.679
very early on, and I just it seemed like the

682
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:52.679
biggest joke of my comedy act was me.

683
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:56.000
That was the biggest joke.

684
00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:06.199
Bless see. I'm sure I've been either did Benivo or whatever.

685
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:10.519
I used to have a book. But then another thing

686
00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:13.760
in the course they do is generally, as far as

687
00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:20.199
I know, they build up to you doing putting a

688
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:24.119
nice five minutes together, and you're performing. Every week you

689
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:26.079
go and performing something in front of the rest of

690
00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:32.079
the group, with the culmination of an actual gig at

691
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:33.880
the end of it, and all of you will go

692
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.400
on stage in front of a paid audience or maybe

693
00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:38.119
a free audience at.

694
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:39.000
A comedy club.

695
00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:43.559
Or come a comedy night or something like that, so

696
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:46.280
it'll be an audience, an audience members will be there

697
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:50.800
and you get a chance to perform in front of

698
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:56.320
complete strangers, an actual proper comedy audience for the first time.

699
00:51:57.320 --> 00:51:59.599
And the good thing about that is the audience know

700
00:51:59.719 --> 00:52:04.000
what come into. It's not like an ordinary open night,

701
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.800
spot night where they might be coming to heckel and stuff.

702
00:52:08.199 --> 00:52:11.079
They're come in to support because they know that you've

703
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:14.199
just gone through a course, a six week course or whatever.

704
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:17.079
So they're going to be supportive. They're not going to.

705
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:19.599
Laugh if it's not funny, but they're still they're not

706
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:24.559
going to be hard on the comedians and be open

707
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:29.880
to like it's nice now. I kind of I've got

708
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:32.679
a lot of information from about these courses because I

709
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.320
know a lot of people that went on them what

710
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:40.239
I did. And yeah, so that's what I would recommend.

711
00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:43.760
The books are good. You can learn something from books.

712
00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:47.159
Of course, most of my learning has really come from books,

713
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:57.440
I guess, but yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot

714
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:00.000
of books on stand up comedy that you can get

715
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:05.199
hold of. I don't know which one I would necessarily recommend.

716
00:53:06.719 --> 00:53:15.880
I'm just looking down. All right, there's a Woody Ellen,

717
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:19.599
but it's a it's a stand up comic, Okay, So

718
00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:21.239
I can't think that I'm going to put Richard Pryor

719
00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:24.280
in because I just want to see what the if

720
00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:24.960
it's censored.

721
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:43.320
Rich Prior. Okay, best I spill his name right here

722
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:43.639
we go?

723
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:47.880
All right, Oh, it's all of his films from eighty

724
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:52.559
to ninety one, blu Ray Richard Pryor.

725
00:53:52.679 --> 00:53:54.760
Also WHOA.

726
00:53:55.559 --> 00:53:59.679
There's a book about him called Prior Convictions. Another book

727
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:09.880
called Becoming Richard Pryor. Okay, he did. I still it's

728
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:14.599
really childish. But there's a movie that he did and

729
00:54:14.639 --> 00:54:18.400
he's I think it's called The Toy and he's like

730
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:23.760
looking after this little kid who's rich and I think

731
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:26.119
he's kind of like the kid's toy, just just to

732
00:54:26.199 --> 00:54:29.760
do what the kid wants him to do. And he

733
00:54:29.840 --> 00:54:35.320
gets introduced to this little kid and so this is

734
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:39.039
mister Pryor or whatever his name was in the movie

735
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.199
and said, welcome and write you to meet your new boss,

736
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:51.760
Master Bates. Now I saw that when I was what

737
00:54:54.440 --> 00:54:59.119
probably about fourteen thirteen, and I'm still laughing because I'm

738
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:03.559
so child odish. I still find it hilarious. It's weird

739
00:55:03.599 --> 00:55:10.840
about so yeah, that's my answer to your question, dev

740
00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:22.199
is try if you can find a place where you

741
00:55:22.320 --> 00:55:29.280
can maybe do some training, go to a course, a

742
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:34.440
stand up comedy course, and deleclude things like writing performance,

743
00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.239
how to hold a microphone, how far to have the

744
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:41.360
microphone away from from your mouth, where to look when

745
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:45.800
you're on stage. I guess just you know things, all

746
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:48.920
the things that I still.

747
00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:49.519
Don't know how to do.

748
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:55.559
So thanks to that. So, Maria Hijason. On a recent recording,

749
00:55:55.639 --> 00:56:04.239
you mentioned that you might need new glasses the calls soon. Yep, yep, definitely.

750
00:56:04.559 --> 00:56:07.760
Would you have to be bifocal? Would they have to

751
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:12.199
be by vocal or very focal? Have you ever worn

752
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:16.480
contact lenses or it's something you consider doing? Thank you well,

753
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:23.679
thanks Maria. I'll answer the first the second question first, No,

754
00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.199
and no and no and no and no contact lenses. No,

755
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:36.440
I could know. It's not something I would do. I know,

756
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:40.000
I understand why people do do it, especially like younger people.

757
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:45.159
I mean not everyone likes glasses and to wearing glasses,

758
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:46.840
and it can get in a way, you know, it

759
00:56:46.920 --> 00:56:51.760
gets steamed up at times and they get dirty and depending.

760
00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:52.039
On what you're doing.

761
00:56:55.920 --> 00:57:01.199
I mean, I'm a messy eater. But contact lenses no,

762
00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:06.719
I don't know. It doesn't really appeal to me. Never has.

763
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:13.840
As far as bifocals or verio focals, I'm not quite

764
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:18.199
sure what very a focal is by focal, I think

765
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:21.239
it's I think I have been very a focal is

766
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:24.480
that where like the different parts kind of you can't see,

767
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.920
but that yeah, you can see because.

768
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:28.440
The glasses, but.

769
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:34.159
My glass at the moment, the bottom part is for reading,

770
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:40.679
and the middle part is for like distance, and supposedly

771
00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:45.320
the you know, the highest part is for like computer work,

772
00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:48.960
but generally it's the bottom parts for reading. And it's

773
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:57.559
not big enough because I need separate reading glasses. And

774
00:57:57.599 --> 00:58:01.679
maybe that's what the very focal is. I used to

775
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:09.239
have trifocals where I this is years ago when I

776
00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:16.199
was in the call center and a was it bifocals? Yeah,

777
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:21.800
but they were almost that had like a line across

778
00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:27.360
so the I could read again read at the bottom.

779
00:58:27.559 --> 00:58:30.880
The middle was for distance, and it was really weird.

780
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:35.119
It's very It felt very strange because I felt like

781
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:37.360
I was taller.

782
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:41.400
Than I would normally be.

783
00:58:43.159 --> 00:58:46.239
Because instead of like the distance, you know, it brings

784
00:58:46.280 --> 00:58:49.440
it closer, doesn't it. But the bottom part was pushing

785
00:58:49.440 --> 00:58:52.280
things further away for some reason.

786
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:53.800
So I felt really.

787
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:57.320
Tall, which was nice, but I felt, you know, a

788
00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:01.000
bit stumbling a bit. I tripped over a couple times,

789
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:04.519
and I realized, my shoelace is what I'm done.

790
00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:05.199
No, I didn't.

791
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:06.440
That was weird, but.

792
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:12.400
Yeah, I think no, no contact lenses. But also no

793
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:15.239
longer am I going to get any kind of bifocals.

794
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:20.079
I'm going to stick to from now on. At least,

795
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:26.400
I'm going to stick to glasses for reading, separate glasses

796
00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:30.239
for everyday use for distance, which I definitely need more

797
00:59:30.239 --> 00:59:34.519
than anything else, and maybe try and get some glasses

798
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.840
for computer use. The three separate things.

799
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:45.960
I do have anti glare.

800
00:59:46.239 --> 00:59:50.039
I think they're supposed to be anti glare, but I do,

801
00:59:50.079 --> 00:59:52.400
you know, video myself, and they do glare, so I'm

802
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:53.480
not sure what that's about.

803
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:58.119
They stare right at me, but the other.

804
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.079
Act to light active active light or whatever, so they

805
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:07.000
go they turn into kind of shades when I'm outside

806
01:00:07.239 --> 01:00:12.320
in the sunlight. That's something that I had because in

807
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:18.159
my family we've got macro degeneration is kind of like

808
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:24.480
a hereditary thing, and a few years back, my.

809
01:00:27.440 --> 01:00:27.840
What's it?

810
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:33.119
Opticians said, yeah, the best thing to do, because you

811
01:00:33.239 --> 01:00:35.119
looked at the back of my eyes. He said, well,

812
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:37.519
potentially the beginnings of that.

813
01:00:37.559 --> 01:00:42.000
You need to just protect your eyes when you're outside.

814
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:46.239
So that's what I do. And he said, but you

815
01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:49.679
can wear sunshades. I said, yeah, but I need glasses,

816
01:00:50.639 --> 01:00:53.159
so i'd have to get the sunshades in my prescription.

817
01:00:55.079 --> 01:00:57.119
So it'd be easier just to.

818
01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:04.159
Get the them shade, you know, to shade on their own. Yeah,

819
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.239
I'm going to get some soon, maybe not for Christmas,

820
01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:10.039
but I will eventually want to get things sorted out.

821
01:01:10.039 --> 01:01:11.880
I've got a few bits going on, so once I

822
01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:15.400
get everything sorted out, I'm going to get myself some

823
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.719
glasses and i'll be it.

824
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:18.519
So that'd be good.

825
01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:27.800
Hope asks, how did you end up adopting Andre? Well,

826
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:33.599
I didn't want a ferret.

827
01:01:35.039 --> 01:01:37.360
That was a good way to start to start my.

828
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:41.320
Story about the one of the lovers of my life,

829
01:01:42.039 --> 01:01:43.039
which was.

830
01:01:44.679 --> 01:01:45.159
Still is.

831
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:49.360
Actually I love that little boy. I love him forever.

832
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:56.199
My Luke downstairs had a ferret when I moved in.

833
01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:02.480
He had a ferret, and I was like, okay. First

834
01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.000
of all, I was very a little bit scared, very

835
01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:11.559
a little bit, a little bit very scared because I

836
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:15.599
just didn't really know what to do with it. It

837
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.440
was very quick and very sharp teeth, and he was

838
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:22.920
a biter, which put me off.

839
01:02:24.079 --> 01:02:26.559
I think it's I think it might be thundering.

840
01:02:27.559 --> 01:02:30.719
So it put me off, okay, because I didn't want that.

841
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:32.639
I didn't want something that was going to be biting

842
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:35.519
people who came around. Not that I get a lot

843
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:38.599
of people visiting, but I didn't want to be bitten myself.

844
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:44.320
He found it funny. It'd let l was the name

845
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:46.840
of the ferry. He'd well, it's a pole cat, but

846
01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:50.320
he'd let him bite him, and he just didn't care.

847
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.920
He bit me once, but really bit me on the

848
01:02:57.239 --> 01:03:00.719
on my arm. And what it's to do is to

849
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:05.800
do like the crocodile role. It's not good and it

850
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:08.280
really hurt. I left a mark on their for weeks.

851
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:13.239
This was early on my time living it. So I

852
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.320
thought no because I considered because I wanted to get

853
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:20.360
a dog, and he said, oh, I do you could

854
01:03:20.400 --> 01:03:24.159
get a faery. I said no, you're right, and I

855
01:03:24.199 --> 01:03:27.480
was going to get a dog. And then the dog

856
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:31.239
that I went and visited didn't like me a bit

857
01:03:31.280 --> 01:03:35.760
like Vinnie, just didn't wasn't interested at all, and as

858
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:37.840
a puppy, but it was in a like a shelter,

859
01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:38.280
you know.

860
01:03:38.199 --> 01:03:40.320
An animal place, and.

861
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:49.280
I just like, I want my feeling, my theory, my

862
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.559
idea if I ever got a dog of my own,

863
01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:56.440
would be to go and visit that dog, and maybe

864
01:03:56.440 --> 01:03:59.920
there's like six dogs and one comes up to me

865
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:01.920
and chooses me.

866
01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:05.440
That's what I wanted. I wanted a dog to choose me.

867
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:10.679
It didn't happen, so I kind of I visited twice,

868
01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:15.559
still didn't really fill any connection with the dog. So

869
01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:19.039
I decided not to get that dog. And they kept

870
01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:21.280
saying they calling me, or we've got other people that

871
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.280
want to take us, So would just do that then,

872
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:27.000
because it just didn't feel a beautiful little dog, but

873
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:31.719
it just just didn't. It didn't seem like the dog

874
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:35.320
liked me a bit like Vinny.

875
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:37.800
He doesn't seem to like me.

876
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:41.599
I think he loves me, but he doesn't like me,

877
01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:43.000
I think sometimes.

878
01:04:44.199 --> 01:04:49.480
And so I didn't get an animal. In the end,

879
01:04:49.480 --> 01:04:50.199
it didn't get a pair.

880
01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:55.800
And then around the November time might be in October

881
01:04:55.960 --> 01:05:00.559
November ish, I normally say November, but I don't know.

882
01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:07.360
And this is two thy fifteen, Luke says to me, Ah,

883
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:14.840
I said yeah. He said, my friend who breeds ferrets

884
01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:24.920
has got two ferrets going needing new homes. And I

885
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.519
said yeah. He said, are you interested in getting a ferret?

886
01:05:29.760 --> 01:05:30.079
Now?

887
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:31.440
These?

888
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:32.760
Well you might not know this.

889
01:05:33.000 --> 01:05:38.079
Andre was related to L. So L was Andre's uncle,

890
01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:44.320
like blood blood relative, because he had got L from

891
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:48.000
there as well, from that same friend, like a a

892
01:05:48.079 --> 01:05:51.760
couple few years earlier, so they were related.

893
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:57.000
Anyway, I thought, yeah, maybe I will.

894
01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:00.880
But then I thought, you know, they did stink a bit.

895
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:06.280
I personally loved the smell of Andre, but I know

896
01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:11.360
not everybody is into that kind of stinky stink. I

897
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:14.480
think he's I mean, he didn't always smell good because

898
01:06:14.480 --> 01:06:16.400
they are kind of a bit skunky at times.

899
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:21.760
Anyway, I thought about it.

900
01:06:21.960 --> 01:06:26.039
I thought yes, no, yes, no, And then I thought

901
01:06:26.760 --> 01:06:31.320
no no, I've got a brand new carpet that's only

902
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:35.280
been in there for a few months, the flats looking good.

903
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:37.840
I don't want it ruined.

904
01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:40.480
Well.

905
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:46.519
I got a bit interrupted then because Phinnis started barking

906
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:49.719
and I couldn't figure out why he was barking. And

907
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:56.559
then I heard some thunder. Now we've had thunder before.

908
01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:01.760
I don't mean, you know, in history, but you know,

909
01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:08.519
since I've had Finny, there's been thunder. And normally he

910
01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:10.159
doesn't seem to be too bothered.

911
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:13.079
But it did.

912
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:16.039
I fit lowly. You know, maybe there'd be the TV

913
01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:18.559
would be on, so it kind of cover it up

914
01:07:18.599 --> 01:07:23.400
a little bit, but yeah, it was. He didn't like it.

915
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:27.679
The ely other time I've seen him really disturbed by

916
01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:34.599
anything outside, you know, is fireworks. Once we was out

917
01:07:34.599 --> 01:07:37.559
at night and the fireworks were going off and he

918
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:39.719
pulled me home, so we didn't like that.

919
01:07:40.599 --> 01:07:42.079
Another time he didn't.

920
01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:46.360
Like the aircraft going over to air display because there

921
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:49.880
was lots he didn't like that. Accepts very noisy, and

922
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:52.960
the air blue in the other day, last week or

923
01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:56.039
whenever it was, he pulled me home from that. He

924
01:07:56.079 --> 01:08:00.880
didn't didn't like that. Most things don't bother him, but

925
01:08:02.519 --> 01:08:06.880
just strings from the sky generally. I said to him,

926
01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:10.000
just don't look up, and he told me I was

927
01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:13.679
being silly. I haven't got to look up to hear

928
01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:14.599
the thunder.

929
01:08:14.280 --> 01:08:14.480
Have I?

930
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:22.279
I said all right, wow, So yeah, Andre, So at

931
01:08:22.279 --> 01:08:25.760
this point I'm thinking I don't want I think I

932
01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:28.560
don't want someone who's going to bite me and it's

933
01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:30.159
going to make a mess everywhere.

934
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:31.680
And now.

935
01:08:33.520 --> 01:08:41.399
I really decided I was a firm negative, like no.

936
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:43.680
No, not don't want one. I love l I did.

937
01:08:44.119 --> 01:08:46.119
I mean, he was pretty good of me, as long

938
01:08:46.159 --> 01:08:49.239
as I remember to wear a long sleeved shirt or

939
01:08:49.479 --> 01:08:52.159
T shirt because if I kept my off. God did

940
01:08:52.199 --> 01:08:55.520
have a little nibble, but he was really he was

941
01:08:55.520 --> 01:09:00.960
a very loving verrit, you know, very cuddly and but

942
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:03.119
at the same time, you know he'd like to little

943
01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:04.239
bite every now and then.

944
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:13.199
A little snack, treat himself to be a human. So

945
01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:15.920
and one hundred percent, Nope, none, one one.

946
01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:19.159
So I'm just like going around my life as I do.

947
01:09:19.239 --> 01:09:22.279
And I'm walking home. I don't know where i'd been,

948
01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:26.680
probably been to town or something, or to the garage.

949
01:09:26.720 --> 01:09:34.439
And I'm coming back and I see this bloke holding

950
01:09:35.039 --> 01:09:38.399
he's in looking in the back of a car and

951
01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:39.960
he's holding a cage.

952
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:42.520
Then I see and this.

953
01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:45.239
Is outside the front of my building. And then I

954
01:09:45.239 --> 01:09:48.279
see Luke come out and he waves to me and

955
01:09:48.279 --> 01:09:52.279
he says, look, look there, these are the two ferrets,

956
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:53.520
are two baby ferrites.

957
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:56.560
I said, okay, and he said, come and have a

958
01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:57.439
look at them.

959
01:09:57.680 --> 01:10:00.000
He was so excited. That that's one of the things

960
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:04.840
about Luke. When he was excited, he brightened up so much.

961
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:10.159
It was very contagious. So I kind of got very

962
01:10:10.199 --> 01:10:12.880
intrigued and he was excited as well to sort of

963
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:19.600
have a look. With no intention had taken one on.

964
01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:22.359
I didn't want to take it, and bearing in mind

965
01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:25.680
the bloke didn't want any money. He wasn't doing it

966
01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:30.960
for money. He just loved ferrets. So there was two ferrets.

967
01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.920
One of them, you know, was Andre, one of them

968
01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:38.800
was his brother, and one of them had to be that.

969
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:44.279
He hadn't decided which one was already been adopted by

970
01:10:44.279 --> 01:10:48.319
someone else. That he was going to deliver that ferret,

971
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:53.479
I think a few days afterwards, because he had to

972
01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:57.199
get a cage and stuff for it. This bloke who

973
01:10:57.239 --> 01:11:04.439
was also a friend of Luke's. Instead of running around

974
01:11:04.800 --> 01:11:13.560
on the floor, I fell in love with Andre.

975
01:11:16.479 --> 01:11:18.079
I fell in love with him.

976
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:23.680
See that that what I wanted to happen to me is,

977
01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:26.359
you know, like a dog wanted to I wanted a

978
01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:28.359
dog to fall in love with me and to come

979
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:33.359
up to me and like just have that attachment. The

980
01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:40.439
reverse happened with Andre. I absolutely fell head over heels

981
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:43.479
in love with that little boy in a way that

982
01:11:43.520 --> 01:11:49.079
I'm really so surprised about, because you know, if you

983
01:11:49.159 --> 01:11:51.039
just said to me a few years back before that,

984
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:53.840
like one day, you're going to have a ferret running

985
01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:58.760
around your home, I would have I wouldn't have believed them,

986
01:11:59.000 --> 01:11:59.920
I would I just laughed.

987
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:02.960
It's like, no way to me.

988
01:12:03.079 --> 01:12:06.199
If Fairy was like a rat, you know, there was

989
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:08.840
no difference. There's a big difference.

990
01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:10.600
But at the time I didn't really know.

991
01:12:10.720 --> 01:12:13.760
I just there was just some something that was very weak,

992
01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:20.319
who wiggly, wibbly wobbly, moved very quickly and bit people.

993
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:21.920
And I didn't want to I didn't want to know.

994
01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:27.760
At this time, I knew a little bit more about

995
01:12:27.800 --> 01:12:30.760
Ferris because I'd spend time with l and he used

996
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:32.720
to come up here and he was as good as gold,

997
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.960
apart from the occasional snack out of my arm.

998
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:49.119
And so Vinny certainly, Vinnie Andre absolutely hated me.

999
01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:54.279
I picked him up and he bit me every opportunity

1000
01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:57.840
he bit me, just on that occasion, he really grabbed

1001
01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:01.119
me in his raisor teeth. Remember it is tiny at

1002
01:13:01.159 --> 01:13:03.920
this point, you could like fit them and pulm my hand.

1003
01:13:04.960 --> 01:13:10.600
And there's videos. There's probably pictures on Facebook, but there's

1004
01:13:10.640 --> 01:13:12.840
loads of videos of him on my YouTube channel.

1005
01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:20.239
Andre and I had to hold him. That the bloke.

1006
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:25.479
Who would brought the two around, he showed me how

1007
01:13:25.520 --> 01:13:30.520
to handle the baby, and so did Luke. There's a

1008
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:34.039
certain way you basically put your finger thumb around the neck.

1009
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:37.359
Because the neck so tiny, you're not choking it. It's

1010
01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:41.199
just basically there's a lot of loose, loose skin there.

1011
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:45.439
It just means that they can't maneuver their mouth to

1012
01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:45.880
bite you.

1013
01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:53.039
Another thing is it was just something that parents do to.

1014
01:13:55.720 --> 01:13:59.000
Ferrits is they pick them up by their neck so

1015
01:13:59.039 --> 01:14:02.079
it doesn't hurt them the back of the neck the skin,

1016
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:08.680
but they just completely stay still. They stop being naughty

1017
01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:11.199
as soon as that happens. Or you can drag them

1018
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:15.239
back like that and they just stay still. So if

1019
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:21.560
it doesn't hurt them, but it makes them be passive,

1020
01:14:22.119 --> 01:14:22.720
they give up.

1021
01:14:22.840 --> 01:14:25.560
They kind of you know.

1022
01:14:25.760 --> 01:14:29.960
So that's kind of something I learned to do. But

1023
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:31.920
the rest of it was just made up as I

1024
01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:34.359
went and on. But Luke kind of taught me quite

1025
01:14:34.399 --> 01:14:43.720
a bit, I suppose. Well, yeah, yeah, and I went

1026
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:46.800
from nowhere in the world to all those so many

1027
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:48.359
things in my flat.

1028
01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:51.239
Too.

1029
01:14:53.159 --> 01:14:56.760
I've never wanted anything as much as I ever did

1030
01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:59.840
in my life. That's probably a bit of an exaggeration.

1031
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:04.640
I really like the other one had no interest in

1032
01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:09.640
and it was just as cute as I'm sure every

1033
01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:12.239
baby ferret is just as cute as each other. But

1034
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:13.960
there was something about Andre.

1035
01:15:14.600 --> 01:15:15.479
I don't know what it was.

1036
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:18.159
There was something about him, sorry about his little face

1037
01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:21.920
and his little mask that he had, like almost like

1038
01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:25.000
he had an eye mask on him, like he was

1039
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:30.279
a highway dick turpin or you know, something like that.

1040
01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:32.720
Bank robbery.

1041
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:38.199
Maybe not, but yeah, he's just cute, he's facial features, and.

1042
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.000
I had to have him. There was no option.

1043
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:48.399
In fact, I think the man said that he was

1044
01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:53.840
going to give him to the other bloke, and Luke said,

1045
01:15:54.119 --> 01:15:57.760
he won't nobody, he won't know which one. He just

1046
01:15:57.800 --> 01:16:01.359
knows he's going to get one. And I wouldn't have

1047
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:07.880
took the other one. However weird that sounds. Andre, it

1048
01:16:07.920 --> 01:16:11.119
was him. It wasn't because Andre was a ferret that

1049
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:15.720
I wanted him. I didn't want a ferret. I wanted Andre.

1050
01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:16.399
He was.

1051
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:19.279
I just fell in love with him. He's something about him.

1052
01:16:19.920 --> 01:16:24.760
And so for the first two weeks I had him,

1053
01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:30.000
and all he did was bite me. But I continued

1054
01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:35.319
to pick him up every single opportunity, cuddle him. And

1055
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:38.199
he never bit me on the face. So I could

1056
01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:41.439
literally put my face right up to his. He's probably scared,

1057
01:16:41.560 --> 01:16:43.920
to be fair, imagine seeing my face so close up,

1058
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:48.119
probably scared the hell out of him. But he never

1059
01:16:48.119 --> 01:16:50.960
bit me on the face. It's always my fingers if

1060
01:16:50.960 --> 01:16:59.520
he could. And after like a couple of weeks, by

1061
01:16:59.680 --> 01:17:02.119
after destroyed loads of times. But I was just sitting

1062
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:06.520
down on a Saturday night watching the box in and

1063
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:11.520
he climbed up my leg and I was went dressing

1064
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:13.479
gown and he climbed up my left sleeve of my

1065
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:17.359
dressing gown and went to sleep. And from then on

1066
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:23.560
he was good as gold. We got on perfect. It

1067
01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:28.720
never bit me again, not on purpose. He used to

1068
01:17:28.720 --> 01:17:31.159
bite me when we played, when we had play fights.

1069
01:17:31.279 --> 01:17:34.720
It bite me sometimes. You get very carried away. But

1070
01:17:34.760 --> 01:17:39.840
all I had to say was gentle and it stopped.

1071
01:17:39.880 --> 01:17:42.000
So if he bit me too hard to say, gentle,

1072
01:17:42.159 --> 01:17:47.640
it just released his jaws, so his teeth would just

1073
01:17:47.720 --> 01:17:55.439
kind of touching my skin. We communicated quite well, which

1074
01:17:55.479 --> 01:18:01.640
is a bit weird, I think. But yeah, I think

1075
01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:03.720
perhaps I should have gotten I should have got another

1076
01:18:03.800 --> 01:18:08.359
ferre it maybe, But you know what, Vinnie came into

1077
01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:12.880
my life, and and you know, I'll be honest, when

1078
01:18:12.880 --> 01:18:18.119
I lost Andre, it was it was too much. I mean,

1079
01:18:18.159 --> 01:18:22.199
I don't I didn't really believe that I could be

1080
01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:32.439
so attached to a little thing like that. I was,

1081
01:18:34.159 --> 01:18:36.439
and you know my vow and a lot.

1082
01:18:36.319 --> 01:18:37.199
Of people do that.

1083
01:18:37.199 --> 01:18:39.399
They say, I'll never get I'll never get another pet,

1084
01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:44.640
that's it. And I definitely meant that I wasn't going

1085
01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:46.920
to get anything, not a dog, not a cat, anything,

1086
01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:50.600
not a cat anyway, but not up here. So I'm

1087
01:18:50.640 --> 01:19:00.520
on the first floor. The cat can't get out, however,

1088
01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:04.399
you know. So this was in the summer two thousand

1089
01:19:04.479 --> 01:19:16.439
and one, and in two thousand and two, November or December,

1090
01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:23.279
Vinnie ran through my legs as I answered the door

1091
01:19:23.319 --> 01:19:27.560
to Luke. He was laughing, and this little thing ran

1092
01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:31.039
through and LOGI was there like looking at me, and

1093
01:19:31.079 --> 01:19:33.880
he ran in as well. It's like, what the heck

1094
01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:39.039
is LOGI chasing? I thought for a second, I thought

1095
01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:43.680
he'd got another Ferret and it wasn't. It was Vinny.

1096
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:46.680
But Vinnie was ten months old, so he was mean.

1097
01:19:46.760 --> 01:19:49.319
He wasn't a hugely smaller than years now, but he

1098
01:19:49.399 --> 01:19:54.039
was smaller, and I mean I couldn't see him.

1099
01:19:54.079 --> 01:19:59.520
He was moving so quick. And you know, that's how

1100
01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:00.319
I ended up him.

1101
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.199
But with Andre, that's how I ended up with him.

1102
01:20:03.520 --> 01:20:10.479
It was just fall in love situation and no matter

1103
01:20:10.520 --> 01:20:13.399
how you know, the ending wasn't good, and I just

1104
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:18.279
it was hard. But he did bring a lot of

1105
01:20:19.439 --> 01:20:23.119
pleasure into my life. He made me laugh a lot,

1106
01:20:23.720 --> 01:20:32.079
and yeah, I actually adored him, adored him, And I

1107
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:34.119
know that There's a couple of people over the years,

1108
01:20:34.159 --> 01:20:36.880
as I've mentioned, like the same why why.

1109
01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:38.560
Does he not to me?

1110
01:20:38.640 --> 01:20:41.239
But like on the maybe on a Facebook group or

1111
01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.399
on a Facebook page, why does he keep talking about Andre?

1112
01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:49.439
He's being gone for ages? That's why. It's the same

1113
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:54.640
reason I talk about my men, and the same reason

1114
01:20:55.159 --> 01:20:57.720
I'm probably still going to be talking about Uncle's sausages

1115
01:20:58.720 --> 01:21:02.319
in ten years time. The reason I'm still talking about Luke,

1116
01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:10.239
because they were big parts of my life and that

1117
01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:14.479
doesn't change just because they're no longer here is.

1118
01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:16.600
You know, they're not.

1119
01:21:16.680 --> 01:21:18.000
I mean, they're no longer a big part of my

1120
01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:23.079
life day to day. But I think once someone has

1121
01:21:23.239 --> 01:21:30.880
that makes that impact. I mean Uncle Sausages made his

1122
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:33.520
impact more really over the last year, even though I've

1123
01:21:33.560 --> 01:21:36.399
known him for ten years, and especially more when he

1124
01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:39.680
got unwell. I mean that period that we shared together

1125
01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:46.119
is something that's kind of a bit precious really, that

1126
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:51.920
whole situation, and there's no way I could ever forget that.

1127
01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:59.319
And yeah, so he's always going to be remembered by me.

1128
01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:06.319
I hope, I hope. And even if he's not, the

1129
01:22:06.439 --> 01:22:10.319
memories recorded it's on too, you know what I mean.

1130
01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:13.359
It's me talking about it. So even if in thirty

1131
01:22:13.399 --> 01:22:17.760
years time, perhaps for whatever reason, I don't have the

1132
01:22:17.800 --> 01:22:23.520
actual memory, I can listen back and hear about it

1133
01:22:24.720 --> 01:22:31.800
and think, oh, he sounds nice. Who's this bloke that's talking?

1134
01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:37.600
Why has he got such a squeaky voice? So yeah,

1135
01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:41.279
that's how I got Andre. Thank you for that, Rich

1136
01:22:41.399 --> 01:22:50.279
asks Wedn's Finny's birthday. It's the end of February, so

1137
01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:56.479
you would have been born in two thousand and yeah,

1138
01:22:56.640 --> 01:23:03.840
end of Yeah, end of February two thousand and twenty three, No,

1139
01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:09.439
twenty two. So end of February twenty twenty two was

1140
01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:13.399
when he was born. The exact date I used to have.

1141
01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.279
I could probably get it because I used to have

1142
01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:21.920
a picture with a date on where he was literally

1143
01:23:22.119 --> 01:23:26.039
a baby, you know, like a It looked like a

1144
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:34.760
I don't know, like pink, little turnip or something. But yeah,

1145
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:38.680
so end of February, he'll.

1146
01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:43.560
Be four next year. Robin asks me, have you ever

1147
01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:47.439
been inside Hampton Court Palace. I'd love to visit there.

1148
01:23:51.159 --> 01:23:53.520
First of all, I thought I don't know, But now

1149
01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:59.399
I do know. Hampton Court Palace. I'm pretty sure it's.

1150
01:23:59.279 --> 01:23:59.840
Got a zoo.

1151
01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:04.600

01:24:04.600 --> 01:24:06.600
a zoo that Hampton.

1153
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:14.239

Have a zoo.

1159
01:24:57.279 --> 01:25:00.319
Hampton Court Palace does not have a traditional zoo, but

1160
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:05.079
it's magic card and venture playground features mythical beasts. That's

1161
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:07.359
what I visited when I was a kid. I thought

1162
01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:12.359
they were real animals. Wow, no wonder I was able

1163
01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:19.439
to kiss a tiger on the lips, all that bragging

1164
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:24.279
for years afterwards, thinking I was more invincible than tars

1165
01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:31.239
and when clearly I wasn't. It wasn't they wasn't they wasn't. Yeah,

1166
01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:35.359
I have been there, even though I clearly don't know

1167
01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:35.880
where it is.

1168
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:36.640
But I have been there.

1169
01:25:37.239 --> 01:25:44.439
And he started barking again and the thunder, and yeah,

1170
01:25:44.479 --> 01:25:47.279
I have been there. It's a long, long, long long

1171
01:25:47.319 --> 01:25:51.239
time ago, like decades ago, so I don't really remember it.

1172
01:25:52.039 --> 01:25:57.920
But I've been to all the main tourist attractions, either

1173
01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:00.279
when I was very young or when I was kind

1174
01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:04.279
of in my twenties. I including all the museums, met

1175
01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:09.479
in two Sorts, Tower of London, the Palace, the whole

1176
01:26:09.520 --> 01:26:15.039
walk up to the Palace, whatever that's called, the zoo,

1177
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:20.439
London Zoo, the Library, the London Library or whatever.

1178
01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:21.039
So I've been.

1179
01:26:21.119 --> 01:26:25.680
So I'm pretty much everywhere, but not for a very

1180
01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:34.079
very long time. Kathleen asks, what's the best birthday present

1181
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:39.600
you ever received? Well, technically, I would say I know

1182
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:43.199
it's My birthday was three days ago. But your question, Kathleen,

1183
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:46.640
that's the birth that's the best present I've ever had.

1184
01:26:47.159 --> 01:26:54.760
I don't know really best birthday present. See, when I

1185
01:26:54.800 --> 01:26:56.840
was a kid, not nothing as an adult, But when

1186
01:26:56.880 --> 01:27:00.159
I was a kid, I enjoyed this year. I got

1187
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:05.000
some payper gifts. Sounds really lovely, kind of I almost

1188
01:27:05.039 --> 01:27:10.359
felt like I was I don't know, just felt quite nice.

1189
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:16.760
I felt very nice. I think as a kid. As

1190
01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:31.359
an adult, nothing I mean not nothing, but yeah, nothing

1191
01:27:31.439 --> 01:27:34.039
like particularly that I can think of off the top

1192
01:27:34.039 --> 01:27:45.760
of my head as a kid. Yeah, nothing really stands

1193
01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:49.920
out because they're all. The thing is with my dad

1194
01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:53.640
and his wife, they were very generous when it came

1195
01:27:53.720 --> 01:27:57.039
to Christmas and birthdays. I'm not saying they weren't the

1196
01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:59.199
rest of the time, but they were very I always

1197
01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:02.880
got lots suppressed for birthdays and Christmases from the age

1198
01:28:02.880 --> 01:28:05.359
of seven to fifteen, so.

1199
01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:07.960
It was.

1200
01:28:10.800 --> 01:28:14.520
Yeah, it was like every year. I mean fifteen was

1201
01:28:14.640 --> 01:28:16.039
a bit of a slow one, but all the other

1202
01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:19.560
years it's you know, when the whole family was together.

1203
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:22.079
Yeah, every year.

1204
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:25.920
Was good, you know, like Christmas as well. I never

1205
01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:29.880
there was never any disappointment. It was never like, oh

1206
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:34.960
I didn't get enough presents because I always got more presence.

1207
01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:39.119
Than I ever needed, you know.

1208
01:28:39.359 --> 01:28:44.680
It was I was very, very fortunate, and the same

1209
01:28:44.720 --> 01:28:50.159
as with birthdays, I always got lots of presents and

1210
01:28:51.439 --> 01:28:52.439
I liked all of them.

1211
01:28:52.920 --> 01:28:53.279
Really.

1212
01:28:54.720 --> 01:28:59.119
I remember one year when I was probably about ten, eleven, ten,

1213
01:28:59.439 --> 01:29:05.399
I don't know, and I had a video game, so

1214
01:29:05.479 --> 01:29:09.199
that was cool, like a kind of First Space Invaders

1215
01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:13.920
Asteroids kind of game that was handheld, but a big

1216
01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:18.960
old thing. Batteries. Batteries were the size of a calor.

1217
01:29:20.039 --> 01:29:22.119
There was a big thing, but I always loved it.

1218
01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:32.439
Do you do do? Yeah, things like that. That was

1219
01:29:32.479 --> 01:29:36.720
nothing like how it sounded. But I can't think of

1220
01:29:36.880 --> 01:29:42.479
any particular presence that had off the top of my head.

1221
01:29:42.479 --> 01:29:45.960
That is, I'm not saying there wasn't any particular presence

1222
01:29:45.960 --> 01:29:49.239
that I liked most of all, and I'm trying to

1223
01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:55.279
The big presents really, I think were Christmas time, because

1224
01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:58.479
I got a couple of the two biggest presents I

1225
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:05.920
remember at Christmas. Oh No, I got the best present

1226
01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:12.920
I ever got for my birthday was when I was seven.

1227
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:15.680
I mean it might have not been on my birthday,

1228
01:30:15.720 --> 01:30:18.079
it was around that time because we all got bike,

1229
01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:20.479
but it was a bike. I got a new and

1230
01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:25.039
my first ever bike when I was seven, my seventh birthday,

1231
01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:28.520
and my dad taught me to ride, and he did

1232
01:30:28.560 --> 01:30:31.479
that whole thing where he's like holding onto the because

1233
01:30:31.479 --> 01:30:37.880
I had fallen off, and he put stabilizers on, and

1234
01:30:37.960 --> 01:30:41.079
he kind of he said, I'm holding on. And he

1235
01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:46.640
was behind me and I was cycling and I said,

1236
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:50.199
he's still holding on. He said, yeah, he's still holding on.

1237
01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:54.199
He said, yeah, I'm still holding on. I'm thinking, why

1238
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:56.920
are you doing such a soft voice. I said, he's

1239
01:30:56.920 --> 01:30:57.600
still holding on?

1240
01:31:00.640 --> 01:31:04.039
What? And I shared, he's still holding on.

1241
01:31:04.039 --> 01:31:06.000
And my phone rings and he said, yeah, I'm still

1242
01:31:06.039 --> 01:31:11.000
holding on. And I'm thinking maybe our phones aren't even

1243
01:31:11.079 --> 01:31:15.199
invented yet. This is nineteen seventy seven. This is really weird.

1244
01:31:16.359 --> 01:31:20.079
One if it's real, and I look behind me and

1245
01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:21.279
there's nowhere to be seen.

1246
01:31:25.359 --> 01:31:28.920
I'd cycled into a different town. I've been gone for

1247
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:30.000
about six hours.

1248
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:37.920
Never really could gauge time back then, So yeah, that's

1249
01:31:38.319 --> 01:31:39.000
what I realized.

1250
01:31:39.039 --> 01:31:43.640
I could cycle without him like holding on me, but

1251
01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:46.920
I did have stabilizers. Stabilizers are good.

1252
01:31:47.000 --> 01:31:51.560
I think everyone should have stabilizers all the time. It

1253
01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:54.520
just makes sense, doesn't it, Because at least then you

1254
01:31:54.560 --> 01:31:56.479
can just stop your bike where if you are and

1255
01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:02.600
just leave it standing up. There's no not to have stabilizers.

1256
01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:07.960
I remember seeing someone years ago in a park having

1257
01:32:07.960 --> 01:32:11.199
a go at their kid because they had stabilizers. Are

1258
01:32:11.600 --> 01:32:14.800
almost like, you can't have you have stabilizes. You're nine now,

1259
01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:21.000
and me like, give the kid a break. You know,

1260
01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:33.560
what does it matter? Really may Yeah, the bike that

1261
01:32:33.680 --> 01:32:36.760
was the best present birthday present I got was that bike.

1262
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:42.600
I did get another bike at a Christmas.

1263
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:44.600
Quite a few years later when I was about.

1264
01:32:44.640 --> 01:32:52.560
Thirteen and maybe fourteen thirteen something like that, and it

1265
01:32:52.640 --> 01:32:58.039
was a racer and earlier on but probably about age

1266
01:32:58.359 --> 01:33:04.520
ten nine ten or maybe a leathern even I'd got

1267
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:07.760
a telescope for Christmas.

1268
01:33:08.119 --> 01:33:09.119
I think it was Christmas.

1269
01:33:09.199 --> 01:33:14.399
It might have been for my birthday. It's possible. I

1270
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:19.760
don't remember exactly, but yeah, I've got this telescope, really

1271
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:20.680
nice telescope.

1272
01:33:23.439 --> 01:33:24.800
But yeah, so I.

1273
01:33:24.680 --> 01:33:27.199
Can't really I would say I would go with the bike,

1274
01:33:27.600 --> 01:33:32.359
and it was a grift of I think, and it

1275
01:33:32.399 --> 01:33:36.479
was the first time I ever had a bike, and

1276
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:44.960
I mean that was the best summer of my life.

1277
01:33:46.439 --> 01:33:49.920
It was There's no other summer. It wasn't about the heat.

1278
01:33:49.960 --> 01:33:52.079
It wasn't about the weather. You know, we may it

1279
01:33:52.079 --> 01:33:54.840
makes such a big deal about all. It wasn't as

1280
01:33:54.840 --> 01:33:58.720
hot as it normally is. What's been too hot? When

1281
01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:03.760
I was a kid, I couldn't care at all if

1282
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:07.960
it was raining or if it was sunny. That was

1283
01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:14.199
my first time with a family, like an actual family living.

1284
01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:18.760
The next year was good as well, but that was

1285
01:34:18.800 --> 01:34:25.079
the first year, the first summer, which is nineteen seventy seven,

1286
01:34:25.239 --> 01:34:27.920
when I was well, I was lee, I was just

1287
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:31.079
before I was seven, but yeah, I was seven in August.

1288
01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:38.880
So that was the best summer of my life, well

1289
01:34:38.960 --> 01:34:43.560
in my memory anyway. And the next year was really

1290
01:34:43.560 --> 01:34:48.840
good as well. So I basically seventy seven seventy eight

1291
01:34:49.359 --> 01:34:53.840
were the best summers that I ever had. But seventy

1292
01:34:53.880 --> 01:34:58.800
seven especially because we lived near the well, were lived

1293
01:34:58.840 --> 01:35:03.119
near the beach as well, actually lived near the beach

1294
01:35:04.319 --> 01:35:05.399
in the big family house.

1295
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:06.560
But this was like just.

1296
01:35:06.560 --> 01:35:10.039
Up the road to the beach, a bit of a walk,

1297
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:19.479
but not too far. It was a straight walk. Yeah,

1298
01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:22.760
So that's what I would say for that. The bike

1299
01:35:23.000 --> 01:35:25.479
that was my favorite, the best person I ever got,

1300
01:35:27.760 --> 01:35:30.479
but technically not really the best present I ever got

1301
01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:33.279
was a family, if we're going to be if I'm

1302
01:35:33.279 --> 01:35:35.960
going to be sentimental, So we moved out of the

1303
01:35:36.000 --> 01:35:39.279
children's home and lived with my dad and his new

1304
01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:47.760
wife permanently the summer of nineteen seventy seven, possibly June,

1305
01:35:49.560 --> 01:35:50.319
maybe July.

1306
01:35:50.640 --> 01:35:52.479
It was back in them days.

1307
01:35:53.439 --> 01:35:55.520
A couple of weeks was like a few months to

1308
01:35:55.560 --> 01:35:57.279
a little kid in it, it's like a long time.

1309
01:35:57.800 --> 01:36:02.880
So he probably moved there after school finished. So I

1310
01:36:02.960 --> 01:36:07.880
went there, left South End and we moved there instead

1311
01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:14.640
of visiting at weekends. Who moved there forever? And it

1312
01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:19.199
was technically that was like the best birthday present I

1313
01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:24.119
ever had because for the first time, well since I

1314
01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:30.039
was a baby, I was had two parents and my

1315
01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:36.760
brothers all together in one house. And yeah, that was brilliant.

1316
01:36:38.439 --> 01:36:41.920
Yep. And I was the baby for one more year,

1317
01:36:43.119 --> 01:36:47.279
but just for one year. Move on, Joe, Joe.

1318
01:36:51.680 --> 01:36:55.159
Mary asks me, how do you design the episode titled

1319
01:36:55.279 --> 01:36:58.399
artwork you use it's always so creative?

1320
01:36:59.119 --> 01:37:00.000
Well, thank you.

1321
01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:06.159
I use different things. So I use a mixture.

1322
01:37:05.760 --> 01:37:09.600
Of a canva.

1323
01:37:12.039 --> 01:37:21.159
And chetch Ept five and sometimes other things to put together.

1324
01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:24.840
Maybe some images I've got, maybe images that I've found

1325
01:37:24.920 --> 01:37:27.479
online to put together what.

1326
01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:29.000
I want to kind of express.

1327
01:37:30.079 --> 01:37:35.039
Usually it's something to do with the recording. It might

1328
01:37:35.079 --> 01:37:37.920
be hidden in the recording, but it's quite often there's

1329
01:37:37.960 --> 01:37:43.239
a little hint in the image, or sometimes I hide

1330
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:46.520
a little things in the image where you'd have to

1331
01:37:46.560 --> 01:37:49.600
really have a close look to see it what it is.

1332
01:37:50.560 --> 01:37:55.920
But generally I have to think what I want, what

1333
01:37:56.000 --> 01:37:58.600
I want the record, what I want the image to be.

1334
01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:01.800
So I think that up and then I asked chat

1335
01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:06.560
GP two five to maybe create that image.

1336
01:38:07.439 --> 01:38:08.960
This is one way of doing it.

1337
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:12.479
And then I get it to redo it and to

1338
01:38:12.760 --> 01:38:17.960
change things, and it takes quite a while, sometimes sometimes

1339
01:38:18.000 --> 01:38:21.399
half hour an hour to get the image done, depends

1340
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:26.359
on how well it comes out first time. And then

1341
01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:30.079
I go into Canva and I edit the image.

1342
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:31.920
And sometimes I.

1343
01:38:32.000 --> 01:38:35.239
Do multiple images and put them all together, taken off

1344
01:38:35.239 --> 01:38:38.319
the background to put them into Canva, editing it so

1345
01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:42.199
it looks like one image.

1346
01:38:44.000 --> 01:38:45.640
Yes, so that's kind of what I do.

1347
01:38:45.760 --> 01:38:49.119
I used to sometimes again, I'd take stuff them online

1348
01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:53.800
and i'd change the image editor or pictures of myself

1349
01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:59.640
or pictures of Vinnie, you know, just or put in

1350
01:38:59.640 --> 01:39:03.159
my picture and make me be in this scenario, and

1351
01:39:03.560 --> 01:39:10.279
you know, things like that. So the Quine Friday images

1352
01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:15.239
just generally just Queo Friday. But like I did an

1353
01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:21.239
image yesterday goodbye Uncle Sausages, and it was a nice image.

1354
01:39:21.279 --> 01:39:24.279
It was a picture, not when I made up, just

1355
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:25.760
one that had been taken.

1356
01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:30.319
Yesterday. So I do sometimes do that as well.

1357
01:39:32.119 --> 01:39:36.079
And there's pictures of me and my secret at uniform,

1358
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:40.399
pictures of me in my karate uniform when I was

1359
01:39:40.439 --> 01:39:44.439
a kid, that is. So there's lots of different images.

1360
01:39:44.640 --> 01:39:50.319
I mean, I've done what fourteen one thousand and four hundred,

1361
01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:53.800
and I don't know how many I've done. Now let's

1362
01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:58.159
have a look. See yesterday's one with number one four

1363
01:39:58.239 --> 01:40:01.680
hundred and twenty four, So this is one thing I

1364
01:40:01.680 --> 01:40:03.359
was four hundred and twenty five.

1365
01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:05.279
So that's how many.

1366
01:40:06.560 --> 01:40:09.119
Images I suppose I've done, although I think some of

1367
01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:10.760
the earlier ones didn't have images.

1368
01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:14.479
But I started doing images a few years back.

1369
01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:19.640
I do wonder, you know, because I listened to some

1370
01:40:19.680 --> 01:40:24.720
of my old stuff from I don't know, fifteen years ago,

1371
01:40:25.560 --> 01:40:27.640
and I think, oh, I can't believe I did stuff

1372
01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:32.760
that that wasn't good at all, and I've really improved

1373
01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:35.199
what I do is I mean, the quality of the

1374
01:40:35.279 --> 01:40:39.439
sound is better that it used to be. But I

1375
01:40:39.479 --> 01:40:41.000
wonder if that's what it's going to be like in

1376
01:40:41.760 --> 01:40:44.960
ten years time. If I look back at let's say

1377
01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:48.439
today's recording, all the recordings that I've been doing in

1378
01:40:48.479 --> 01:40:50.880
the last year or so, When I look back at

1379
01:40:50.920 --> 01:40:56.720
these recordings, I think, Oh, my goodness, I don't believe

1380
01:40:56.760 --> 01:40:59.560
that I used to make such recordings as that.

1381
01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:03.800
I'm so glad that I managed.

1382
01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:09.199
To improve the quality of the content. I don't know,

1383
01:41:09.840 --> 01:41:14.159
I might look back at this and think, God, what

1384
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:23.960
was I doing. It's possible. So what was the question again?

1385
01:41:25.800 --> 01:41:26.800
What's the best birthdate?

1386
01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:27.159
No?

1387
01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:29.119
No, how do you design an episode?

1388
01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:29.439
Yeah?

1389
01:41:29.479 --> 01:41:34.239
So that that's kind of how I do it. Is

1390
01:41:35.119 --> 01:41:38.880
they're creative, but I have to say what I want,

1391
01:41:40.159 --> 01:41:42.119
So I have to create it kind of in my

1392
01:41:42.239 --> 01:41:45.760
mind roughly what I want, and then I have to

1393
01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:49.279
find a way to put that together because I'm not

1394
01:41:49.319 --> 01:41:57.680
an artist. Like as far as creative images, which you

1395
01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:00.239
can do, you know, there are there are programs so that

1396
01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:03.199
you could put an image together and make it from scratch.

1397
01:42:03.600 --> 01:42:07.159
That's that's not something I could do, or something that

1398
01:42:07.199 --> 01:42:11.079
I even want to learn to do. But I know

1399
01:42:11.199 --> 01:42:14.920
what I want. Does that make sense if I want?

1400
01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:18.079
Like the other day, I wanted an image of a

1401
01:42:18.119 --> 01:42:22.239
baby jumping out a cake, but chat ept wouldn't allow it,

1402
01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:27.880
even though it's basically just my little brother ruining my

1403
01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:31.199
eighth birthday party because it was just born the day

1404
01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:33.319
before my birthday party, and that's what it was supposed

1405
01:42:33.319 --> 01:42:35.840
to be, him jumping out of the cake, ruining my party,

1406
01:42:37.359 --> 01:42:42.560
like a jokey kind of thing. But they could they wouldn't.

1407
01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:45.279
It was hard to get it done because it was

1408
01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:49.159
it took ages to put that image together. Let me

1409
01:42:49.199 --> 01:42:53.560
ever look at it. I did that on my day

1410
01:42:53.600 --> 01:42:59.039
before my birthday. I think the internet's shut down for

1411
01:42:59.079 --> 01:42:59.680
some reason.

1412
01:43:00.000 --> 01:43:07.560
Why. That's very strange? Oh it is? Why is it hidden?

1413
01:43:08.439 --> 01:43:08.720
Oh?

1414
01:43:08.960 --> 01:43:13.399
I know why? So Okay, the image I ended up

1415
01:43:13.439 --> 01:43:19.159
with with how my brother ruined my eighth birthday, there's

1416
01:43:19.159 --> 01:43:22.560
a number one, four hundred and twenty two, so that

1417
01:43:22.720 --> 01:43:27.640
was on Monday, and it's an image of me frowning

1418
01:43:27.760 --> 01:43:32.680
with birthday borrow a T shirt. There's my dad with

1419
01:43:32.760 --> 01:43:40.439
his beard, there's my stepmom holding a new baby. And

1420
01:43:40.479 --> 01:43:44.279
then there's my oldest brother and my other brother, so

1421
01:43:44.319 --> 01:43:47.479
it's all kind of, you know, planned, and it's got

1422
01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:52.000
number eight. So on a birthday cake, everyone's laughing except me,

1423
01:43:52.079 --> 01:43:55.399
and I'm just frowning. And then there's a big speech

1424
01:43:55.479 --> 01:43:58.960
bubble aimed to supposed to be aimed towards the baby,

1425
01:43:59.039 --> 01:44:07.159
saying I'm the baby now. So it's not always easy

1426
01:44:07.279 --> 01:44:13.800
to put it all together, but other times it works

1427
01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:18.960
quite nice. So it's a very simple thing, like Vinnie

1428
01:44:19.000 --> 01:44:21.119
woke me up. This is what I did on the

1429
01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:29.920
twenty fourth of August, and I wanted to be like

1430
01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:33.720
an image of me. It never always comes up right,

1431
01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:37.079
but it's kind of an image of me in bed.

1432
01:44:37.560 --> 01:44:42.800
But I wanted to me to be wearing old Victorian

1433
01:44:43.079 --> 01:44:50.319
type bedclothes, a bit like Scrooge Dickenson kind of thing.

1434
01:44:50.600 --> 01:44:51.680
But then it wouldn't allow that.

1435
01:44:51.760 --> 01:44:54.279
Because that was copyright, and like, okay, how can I

1436
01:44:54.279 --> 01:44:54.880
get around that?

1437
01:44:56.199 --> 01:44:58.359
And I wanted Vinnie.

1438
01:45:00.079 --> 01:45:03.399
Basically the same wake up and there's a little tag

1439
01:45:03.479 --> 01:45:06.640
with video on it. So I just kind of played

1440
01:45:06.680 --> 01:45:09.840
around and in the end managed to get an image

1441
01:45:10.359 --> 01:45:11.680
that kind of worked.

1442
01:45:12.840 --> 01:45:14.319
And then the day before that I.

1443
01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:19.680
Did call one called good Morning and basically what I

1444
01:45:19.680 --> 01:45:22.079
was talking about was working at different jobs, and I

1445
01:45:22.119 --> 01:45:24.239
was at at one point I was talking about working

1446
01:45:24.279 --> 01:45:30.279
in the bakery and how if the conveyor belt never

1447
01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:35.880
stopped hardly, so sometimes you'd end up with bread rolls

1448
01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:38.720
all over the floor. So I thought I wanted an

1449
01:45:38.720 --> 01:45:43.199
image of me with bread rolls kind of up to

1450
01:45:43.279 --> 01:45:49.000
my waist and then falling off the conveyor belt.

1451
01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:53.399
And it took quite a while for me to.

1452
01:45:53.319 --> 01:45:56.319
Get it done, you know, lots of different versions, and

1453
01:45:56.359 --> 01:45:59.239
then I found it. So even though the image is

1454
01:46:01.239 --> 01:46:03.359
it probably looks like quite an easy image to do,

1455
01:46:03.760 --> 01:46:06.039
it took a while to kind of put it together

1456
01:46:09.319 --> 01:46:13.479
and then I did one last week, twenty second August

1457
01:46:14.039 --> 01:46:23.159
twenty twenty five. It was it Friday, last Friday, and

1458
01:46:23.239 --> 01:46:25.479
I wanted to talk about bottles because I got ninety

1459
01:46:25.479 --> 01:46:29.840
six bottles of water delivered and I wanted a house

1460
01:46:29.880 --> 01:46:34.760
and made of bottles. And in the end, it didn't

1461
01:46:34.800 --> 01:46:36.760
come out how I wanted it to come out as

1462
01:46:38.039 --> 01:46:39.960
but I had, you know, I spent so long on it.

1463
01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:40.800
I just thought.

1464
01:46:43.560 --> 01:46:46.760
It's you're going to have to do, so you know,

1465
01:46:47.359 --> 01:46:51.880
I did that. I wasn't it wasn't crazy about the text,

1466
01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:55.960
but you know it ended up okay, I shouldn't get

1467
01:46:56.399 --> 01:47:00.880
If I did any game now, i'd make a few changes, and.

1468
01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:01.479
I didn't run.

1469
01:47:01.920 --> 01:47:04.159
The day before, I bought myself to sleep.

1470
01:47:05.319 --> 01:47:12.920
So I've got a sheep in a chair asleep but dreaming.

1471
01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:18.920
Or thinking or whatever, dreaming of Instead of sheep jumping

1472
01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:22.239
running around, he's got humans. He's got a human jumping

1473
01:47:22.239 --> 01:47:26.439
over a fence and two humans like running around. It's

1474
01:47:26.479 --> 01:47:30.600
just little things like that. It's another one called thin

1475
01:47:30.760 --> 01:47:34.680
Legs that I did the day before, and it's basically

1476
01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:40.720
a caricature of me with a big upper body and

1477
01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:47.479
tiny little legs because I bought some Yeah, I bought

1478
01:47:47.479 --> 01:47:49.680
some tracksuponds.

1479
01:47:51.279 --> 01:47:52.520
And then Teddy Bears.

1480
01:47:52.560 --> 01:47:57.760
That's Trivia Tuesday last week. So I've got a picture

1481
01:47:57.800 --> 01:48:03.199
of a Teddy Bear picnic, three pre bears or hats

1482
01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:09.199
on drinking through straws for some glasses with some burgers

1483
01:48:09.239 --> 01:48:14.800
and stuff, you know, on the on the blanket checker blanket,

1484
01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:17.279
but in the background because we're in the park, in

1485
01:48:17.279 --> 01:48:19.800
the background like all these humans just running away around

1486
01:48:19.880 --> 01:48:22.439
screaming and running away screaming.

1487
01:48:22.520 --> 01:48:25.560
So I like that.

1488
01:48:27.159 --> 01:48:31.319
And then another one mental health review. I seem to

1489
01:48:31.359 --> 01:48:33.399
be doing one every day. If I have, I've been

1490
01:48:33.479 --> 01:48:39.600
quite good recently. Mental health review is there's bugs bunny

1491
01:48:40.199 --> 01:48:42.600
sitting on it like.

1492
01:48:42.560 --> 01:48:47.279
A psychiatrist's couch, and a psychiatrist is looks a bit

1493
01:48:47.359 --> 01:48:49.199
like Freud and.

1494
01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:54.439
There's that whole thing, you know, Christine pointing out what's up, doc?

1495
01:48:55.399 --> 01:48:57.800
And it is the cult. Yeah, so it's quite because

1496
01:48:57.800 --> 01:49:01.159
I just had a mental health review on a Monday,

1497
01:49:01.279 --> 01:49:02.920
and then I got one.

1498
01:49:03.199 --> 01:49:05.039
I don't know what I'm telling you. You might already

1499
01:49:05.039 --> 01:49:05.239
know this.

1500
01:49:05.319 --> 01:49:08.159
You might have seen them. I have to go outside

1501
01:49:08.279 --> 01:49:12.159
and this was I think this was Sunday the eighteenth,

1502
01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:15.720
So it's me. What's kind of not really me, but

1503
01:49:15.760 --> 01:49:18.720
it's kind of a me kind of picture a middle

1504
01:49:18.760 --> 01:49:23.039
aged man, more hair, and it's like, I have to

1505
01:49:23.039 --> 01:49:25.520
go outside at the top, but he's in a kind

1506
01:49:25.520 --> 01:49:29.000
of a very gray kind of room and there's a doorway,

1507
01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:33.680
but everything outside the doorway is very bright, right and colorful,

1508
01:49:34.479 --> 01:49:36.640
kind of like the Wizard of Us. So that was

1509
01:49:36.680 --> 01:49:40.600
what I was looking for. It took a while to

1510
01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:47.159
get that together, but I was pleased. I mean, I

1511
01:49:47.199 --> 01:49:49.479
had to make a lot of changes to get it

1512
01:49:49.560 --> 01:49:51.920
to where it was, so.

1513
01:49:55.800 --> 01:49:57.760
Yeah, that's kind of.

1514
01:49:59.720 --> 01:49:59.880
Is that.

1515
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:04.680
Sometimes it's quite.

1516
01:50:04.560 --> 01:50:09.119
Easy, you know, like Trivia Tuesday.

1517
01:50:09.239 --> 01:50:11.880
A couple of weeks ago, I was.

1518
01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:15.600
Talking about vikings, I think, so I just wanted to

1519
01:50:15.640 --> 01:50:17.560
be a viking with.

1520
01:50:17.760 --> 01:50:21.279
Green Beard with a helmet.

1521
01:50:21.920 --> 01:50:24.640
With a title Trivia Tuesday, and that's what it did,

1522
01:50:24.800 --> 01:50:26.319
and it did it very quickly.

1523
01:50:26.920 --> 01:50:27.119
Well.

1524
01:50:27.119 --> 01:50:32.159
I took a few seconds, maybe ten seconds. Adam was

1525
01:50:32.199 --> 01:50:35.840
pretty much perfect straightaway. So there's times like that when

1526
01:50:35.880 --> 01:50:39.680
it's really good, and other times when it takes absolutely

1527
01:50:40.800 --> 01:50:48.119
what it seemed to take a long time, and sometimes

1528
01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:49.079
I can't even bothered.

1529
01:50:49.359 --> 01:50:51.640
It's like, just I don't want to.

1530
01:50:51.640 --> 01:50:55.000
Spend so long working on images to want to get

1531
01:50:55.079 --> 01:50:58.920
the thing out. I've made the recording, just doing the editing.

1532
01:51:01.439 --> 01:51:03.279
There's been times where I've actually just put it out

1533
01:51:03.279 --> 01:51:06.680
without an image because I just like it. It's taken

1534
01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:09.760
way too long, especially when I had to keep going

1535
01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:13.279
up to the hospital, so I'd edit and then I'd

1536
01:51:13.359 --> 01:51:18.399
just like post it without an image. So that's kind

1537
01:51:18.399 --> 01:51:22.560
of my creative take on that. So some would argue

1538
01:51:22.560 --> 01:51:24.720
maybe that it's not creative at all because I'm not

1539
01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:31.479
the one really doing anything. I'm giving the instructions, but yeah,

1540
01:51:31.479 --> 01:51:33.439
it's coming out of my head. It's coming out of

1541
01:51:33.439 --> 01:51:36.720
my mind, a lot of it. And I also have

1542
01:51:36.800 --> 01:51:39.079
to do the editing, and I know what I'm looking for,

1543
01:51:40.520 --> 01:51:42.399
So yeah, thank you for that.

1544
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:43.800
So sharel asks.

1545
01:51:44.479 --> 01:51:51.960
Since you seem concerned about your forehead getting larger, Oh

1546
01:51:52.000 --> 01:51:55.560
my goodness, would you consider.

1547
01:51:55.319 --> 01:51:57.359
Getting their hair piece? No?

1548
01:51:58.840 --> 01:52:08.720
Never, ever, ever, ever, Ever, however, I think the only

1549
01:52:08.800 --> 01:52:12.399
reason that only time I would ever get a hair piece,

1550
01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:18.600
it would be probably in the event of if I

1551
01:52:18.640 --> 01:52:20.600
was in a play or if I was in in

1552
01:52:20.680 --> 01:52:24.399
some kind of fancy dress situation. Then you know, perhaps

1553
01:52:24.439 --> 01:52:30.319
I would wear like a wig or something. But and

1554
01:52:30.520 --> 01:52:35.279
you know, I do understand why people do need to

1555
01:52:35.359 --> 01:52:39.800
wear hair pieces and wigs and stuff, but I don't,

1556
01:52:41.640 --> 01:52:44.640
especially as although I go on about my hair and stuff,

1557
01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:48.720
I've spent many years bored. I've been shaving my head

1558
01:52:48.760 --> 01:52:53.119
on purpose. It's hard to do accidentally. But you know, basically,

1559
01:52:53.239 --> 01:52:56.159
I don't care that much. I'm just a little bit

1560
01:52:56.199 --> 01:52:59.560
annoyed that I don't have control over it anymore, because

1561
01:52:59.560 --> 01:53:01.960
before I shave it off and I was in control.

1562
01:53:02.640 --> 01:53:04.560
Now I don't have to shave it all off because

1563
01:53:04.600 --> 01:53:05.560
it kind of does it.

1564
01:53:05.479 --> 01:53:08.239
It doesn't grow back, so it's a little bit annoying

1565
01:53:10.800 --> 01:53:12.159
my forehead getting larger.

1566
01:53:12.560 --> 01:53:19.920
I like that. No, never, No, I wouldn't. I don't.

1567
01:53:20.159 --> 01:53:26.680
I understand, you know, it's some famous people. I don't

1568
01:53:26.720 --> 01:53:31.039
think i'd look younger because that's the thing, like, okay,

1569
01:53:31.199 --> 01:53:34.079
I could be in my sixties when I'm nearly fifty

1570
01:53:34.079 --> 01:53:34.560
five now.

1571
01:53:36.520 --> 01:53:40.479
I don't think I'm going to look younger with a

1572
01:53:40.560 --> 01:53:41.119
hair piece.

1573
01:53:43.520 --> 01:53:45.399
I think the only thing that would make me perhaps

1574
01:53:45.439 --> 01:53:47.319
look a bit younger if I didn't have the gray.

1575
01:53:48.119 --> 01:53:50.680
But then my hair is not that gray. It's gray,

1576
01:53:50.720 --> 01:53:54.720
but it's gray at the sides at the top. But

1577
01:53:55.920 --> 01:53:59.359
there's a lot of hair that's still dark dark brown

1578
01:54:00.079 --> 01:54:02.520
my head, but.

1579
01:54:02.039 --> 01:54:02.960
My beard less.

1580
01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:06.640
So I got Yeah, my beard's definitely got much more

1581
01:54:06.640 --> 01:54:15.079
grayer than my hair on my head. And no, I wouldn't.

1582
01:54:15.119 --> 01:54:18.760
I wouldn't get a hair piece. And I think if

1583
01:54:18.760 --> 01:54:23.039
I met someone and they kind of were really like, well,

1584
01:54:23.039 --> 01:54:24.880
I want you to get a hair piece, I don't like.

1585
01:54:25.359 --> 01:54:27.800
I don't like being with someone that's bored.

1586
01:54:30.199 --> 01:54:31.439
Mate, I don't.

1587
01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:33.600
Yeah, I'd probably just say well I'll see it then,

1588
01:54:34.199 --> 01:54:37.000
you know, find someone else that's got hair or just

1589
01:54:37.079 --> 01:54:40.600
willing to wear a hair piece because I don't. Don't

1590
01:54:40.680 --> 01:54:43.600
date someone that's bald, if you don't want to be

1591
01:54:43.640 --> 01:54:47.039
with someone that's bored. That's the way I see it is,

1592
01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:49.920
if you want to date someone that's tall, don't date

1593
01:54:49.960 --> 01:54:52.880
someone as short. Or if you want someone that's short,

1594
01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:55.960
don't date someone that's tall, expect them to crouch all

1595
01:54:56.000 --> 01:55:01.239
the time, walk on their knees. Well, you know, it's

1596
01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:06.640
like things like that are controllable, not meeting someone that

1597
01:55:06.760 --> 01:55:09.720
you feel. You know, you might meet someone that they've

1598
01:55:09.800 --> 01:55:16.319
tick all the other boxes, but ultimately, why walk up

1599
01:55:16.319 --> 01:55:23.279
to someone and start talking to them? If it's a

1600
01:55:23.319 --> 01:55:26.920
big no no. Then being seven foot tall and maybe

1601
01:55:27.000 --> 01:55:31.439
you're four foot five and you know your limit of

1602
01:55:31.479 --> 01:55:34.159
height is only it only go as high as six

1603
01:55:34.199 --> 01:55:39.680
foot two. As for a partner, you know, or you

1604
01:55:39.720 --> 01:55:45.439
want someone shorter, or if you've got to really if

1605
01:55:46.239 --> 01:55:48.960
that's a thing, if you've got to really a thing,

1606
01:55:49.239 --> 01:55:57.119
you know, whatever the person is, whether you're a male, female.

1607
01:55:56.840 --> 01:56:03.239
Or whatever, if you've got a particular like so.

1608
01:56:04.840 --> 01:56:07.079
I would say go with that, like go with it.

1609
01:56:08.399 --> 01:56:13.520
Whether you've really got a thing for someone with a

1610
01:56:13.560 --> 01:56:18.920
certain color hair or someone with a type of maybe

1611
01:56:18.920 --> 01:56:24.159
from a certain part of the world, or someone who's

1612
01:56:24.800 --> 01:56:31.039
really really really tall or whatever. If you've got something,

1613
01:56:31.279 --> 01:56:35.000
if that really has a big impact on how you

1614
01:56:35.039 --> 01:56:39.039
feel physically and emotionally, then it makes sense to kind

1615
01:56:39.079 --> 01:56:44.560
of go towards that, you know, or body size even

1616
01:56:45.319 --> 01:56:47.359
But then body size, like heighth.

1617
01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:48.640
Is not really going to change.

1618
01:56:48.960 --> 01:56:50.640
Is he going to get a bit short of age,

1619
01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:52.760
It's not really going to change too much.

1620
01:56:56.680 --> 01:57:00.079
Glasses, you know, you.

1621
01:57:04.159 --> 01:57:06.000
Know, I guess if you're date in someone who doesn't

1622
01:57:06.039 --> 01:57:09.000
have glasses and they start wearing glasses, maybe you've got

1623
01:57:09.000 --> 01:57:10.479
an issue of people wearing glasses.

1624
01:57:10.560 --> 01:57:11.239
Some people do.

1625
01:57:12.640 --> 01:57:17.000
I used to be a bit weird towards glasses where

1626
01:57:17.000 --> 01:57:21.880
I wearers. Even though I wore glasses myself. My attitude was,

1627
01:57:22.039 --> 01:57:24.479
why would I want to date someone that's wears glasses,

1628
01:57:25.399 --> 01:57:29.199
because it'd be like having a relationship through a window.

1629
01:57:30.760 --> 01:57:33.119
Because I wear glasses as well, it'd be like wearing

1630
01:57:33.159 --> 01:57:35.079
you know, or I didn't wear them all the time,

1631
01:57:35.079 --> 01:57:37.399
but it'd be like having a relationship through a window,

1632
01:57:38.359 --> 01:57:41.399
which is rude, and I shouldn't have said that out

1633
01:57:41.439 --> 01:57:45.359
to people loud in public, but I thought it was

1634
01:57:46.319 --> 01:57:49.800
kind of funny. But at the time. I didn't wear

1635
01:57:49.840 --> 01:57:52.520
glasses all the time. I just had to wear them

1636
01:57:52.520 --> 01:57:57.960
for reading. So I don't feel that way anymore. It's

1637
01:57:58.000 --> 01:58:00.960
not like having a relationship through you know, if I

1638
01:58:01.039 --> 01:58:05.199
date song of glasses, it's what it's double glazer now,

1639
01:58:05.239 --> 01:58:07.199
isn't it pretty much?

1640
01:58:08.720 --> 01:58:19.920
And yeah, what was I gonna say? What was the question? Oh?

1641
01:58:20.039 --> 01:58:24.359
Hair pieces? So yeah, i'd yeah.

1642
01:58:24.439 --> 01:58:29.039
I see a lot of the old movie stars, like

1643
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:32.079
from the old days. It used to wear wigs, and

1644
01:58:32.279 --> 01:58:37.840
you could see it with wigs, but it kind of

1645
01:58:37.840 --> 01:58:45.039
didn't matter. It's kind of one of those weird things

1646
01:58:45.159 --> 01:58:52.760
is if I'm boarding, I'm not like I've got a

1647
01:58:52.760 --> 01:58:56.079
bald patch in the back. I'm receding. I've been receding

1648
01:58:56.199 --> 01:59:02.680
for decades and my hair and I moan about it.

1649
01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:04.920
But firstly, I can't see the back of my head,

1650
01:59:04.920 --> 01:59:06.960
so I can't see the ball patch. I forget it's

1651
01:59:07.000 --> 01:59:10.000
there most of the time until people just start laughing

1652
01:59:10.000 --> 01:59:11.439
at me when I'm walking down the street.

1653
01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:17.000
But I wouldn't, I mean, I wouldn't.

1654
01:59:16.680 --> 01:59:18.920
Get You can't really get balled. You can't get the

1655
01:59:18.960 --> 01:59:21.760
hair piece just for one tiny little ball patch, can you?

1656
01:59:22.800 --> 01:59:29.000
Or one average size growing ever increasing balld patch.

1657
01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:31.359
I don't care.

1658
01:59:31.600 --> 01:59:35.479
I'm at an age now where having a board patch

1659
01:59:36.239 --> 01:59:38.520
there's no shame. There's no shame in never having a

1660
01:59:38.520 --> 01:59:42.159
ball patch. But I'm fifty five. I'm allowed to have

1661
01:59:42.760 --> 01:59:47.680
a board patch without having to explain myself, you know,

1662
01:59:49.199 --> 01:59:50.079
I mean everyone is.

1663
01:59:50.159 --> 01:59:51.399
It doesn't matter what age you are.

1664
01:59:51.760 --> 01:59:54.600
Some people go bored and in their teenage years.

1665
01:59:55.239 --> 01:59:56.319
I know people.

1666
01:59:56.359 --> 01:59:58.439
I know a girl that went completely gray when she

1667
01:59:58.560 --> 02:00:02.760
was fourteen, and it's like.

1668
02:00:03.359 --> 02:00:05.439
She dye her hair. Of course she dyed her hair.

1669
02:00:06.279 --> 02:00:07.399
What else is she going to do?

1670
02:00:09.159 --> 02:00:12.920
But nowadays having gray hair is almost a fashion, isn't

1671
02:00:12.960 --> 02:00:16.439
it with young people? Or blue hair or green hair.

1672
02:00:19.159 --> 02:00:23.159
So yeah, I don't. I would never wear it. Well,

1673
02:00:23.159 --> 02:00:31.479
I do do. Actually, sometimes there's a lot of banging around.

1674
02:00:32.319 --> 02:00:45.680
What they is. It's weird.

1675
02:00:46.920 --> 02:00:55.840
I oh, so I don't think I was talking about

1676
02:01:03.399 --> 02:01:06.000
I can't remember what I was talking about now, but yeah, no,

1677
02:01:06.039 --> 02:01:11.119
I wouldn't. I wouldn't wear a hair piece. I think

1678
02:01:11.159 --> 02:01:14.720
it's okay. Love me for how I am and love

1679
02:01:14.840 --> 02:01:20.319
me for how I will be because you can't have

1680
02:01:20.399 --> 02:01:23.720
how I used to be because that's gone. So all

1681
02:01:23.720 --> 02:01:26.640
you've got is how I am now and if you

1682
02:01:26.680 --> 02:01:29.760
want to stick around, you'll be You'll see how I

1683
02:01:30.079 --> 02:01:35.159
will be, mind you, if you listen to the podcast,

1684
02:01:35.159 --> 02:01:36.760
you'll find out how I was as well.

1685
02:01:37.119 --> 02:01:40.079
Because I do talk about the past. It's hard to

1686
02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:40.680
talk about the.

1687
02:01:40.600 --> 02:01:46.920
Future, isn't it, because it hasn't happened yet apparently, And

1688
02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:54.239
I do believe that is all the questions. So thank

1689
02:01:54.319 --> 02:01:57.640
you very much for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself,

1690
02:01:57.760 --> 02:01:59.399
and thank you for all the questions. I say you

1691
02:01:59.800 --> 02:02:07.319
were Hope, Rich Robin, Kathleen, Mary, dev Sheryl, So thank

1692
02:02:07.359 --> 02:02:10.760
you all of you a few questions, and remember to

1693
02:02:10.760 --> 02:02:13.199
be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be

1694
02:02:13.279 --> 02:02:17.560
happy and be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

1695
02:02:20.840 --> 02:02:41.560
Lots of love. Bye. Relax in a more deep and

1696
02:02:45.399 --> 02:02:52.800
meaningful way, maybe in a way that can not just

1697
02:02:53.119 --> 02:03:03.199
allow you to feel calmer now and throughout the time

1698
02:03:03.840 --> 02:03:12.239
we've spend together here, not just relaxed at the end

1699
02:03:12.279 --> 02:03:16.720
of the recording when it's finished and you can enjoy

1700
02:03:16.880 --> 02:03:34.279
that sense of comfort and peace, But also I think

1701
02:03:34.319 --> 02:03:45.520
it would be nice to have those feelings of relaxation

1702
02:03:47.880 --> 02:04:02.079
continue for longer after the recording has ended, so that

1703
02:04:02.199 --> 02:04:14.640
you can still benefit from listening to my voice maybe

1704
02:04:14.720 --> 02:04:26.119
in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow, and then by

1705
02:04:26.239 --> 02:04:34.199
listening regularly, especially if you find like some people do

1706
02:04:34.560 --> 02:04:39.039
and myself as well. Sometimes I find one particular recording

1707
02:04:39.680 --> 02:04:48.520
that really resonates with me, and I just listen to

1708
02:04:48.600 --> 02:05:01.520
it over and over again every morning, every evening. There

1709
02:05:01.560 --> 02:05:06.560
was this recording from We're going back to about nineteen

1710
02:05:06.680 --> 02:05:14.399
ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it was a guided visualizations.

1711
02:05:14.520 --> 02:05:21.520
It kind of was hypnosis, really, and I managed to

1712
02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:25.119
find it again and it still has the same effect

1713
02:05:25.600 --> 02:05:37.239
on me. And part of it was the person's voice

1714
02:05:37.640 --> 02:05:47.199
relaxed me. She just felt so peaceful, and I'd look

1715
02:05:47.399 --> 02:05:54.399
forward to listening to her in the morning and in

1716
02:05:54.439 --> 02:06:05.720
the evening. And I knew before even pressing the play

1717
02:06:05.800 --> 02:06:13.199
button that as soon as I've done that pressed the

1718
02:06:13.239 --> 02:06:22.359
play button. This was in the days of CD players

1719
02:06:25.319 --> 02:06:30.840
press the play button. In fact, it might have even

1720
02:06:30.880 --> 02:06:35.600
been a tap tape recorder. I'd lie down on the bed.

1721
02:06:35.640 --> 02:06:36.119
And then.

1722
02:06:41.439 --> 02:06:54.520
Even without necessarily listening to her words because I had

1723
02:06:54.560 --> 02:07:04.079
them memorized. Really, it was as if my body knew

1724
02:07:05.039 --> 02:07:17.439
exactly what to do, and the muscles just almost went

1725
02:07:17.479 --> 02:07:46.720
into automatic relaxation, and I remember my mind would slow down. Now. Now,

1726
02:07:46.880 --> 02:07:53.479
I was listening to this recording in the early days

1727
02:07:53.520 --> 02:08:01.800
of learning hypnosis, and long before I ever made any

1728
02:08:03.640 --> 02:08:09.119
videos or audio recordings myself, because I didn't start doing

1729
02:08:09.119 --> 02:08:23.159
that till two thousand and six, I knew, I knew

1730
02:08:23.479 --> 02:08:36.279
how helpful I found being able to just let go,

1731
02:08:39.279 --> 02:08:44.680
to have that trust in the person that I'm listening to,

1732
02:08:52.319 --> 02:08:59.159
knowing that it's going to be just as relaxing, if

1733
02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:09.960
if not more so. Each time you hear my voice, you.

1734
02:09:09.960 --> 02:09:18.560
May feel the same. Some people.

1735
02:09:20.600 --> 02:09:32.960
Have been listening to me for over a decade, maybe

1736
02:09:33.039 --> 02:09:38.479
not solidly, obviously not twenty four hours a day, but

1737
02:09:40.600 --> 02:09:54.640
maybe people come back. Some people maybe listen every day.

1738
02:09:56.680 --> 02:10:04.640
That's something that I do which you may not realize

1739
02:10:05.039 --> 02:10:23.640
by listening, is when I record these recordings. Now, for example,

1740
02:10:28.159 --> 02:10:40.359
I also am affected by the words that I say.

1741
02:10:41.239 --> 02:10:50.560
So if I set you focus on your feet, notice

1742
02:10:50.680 --> 02:10:57.880
your feet relaxing, I will be focusing on my feet.

1743
02:11:02.760 --> 02:11:20.159
I will be noticing my feet relaxing. If I said,

1744
02:11:20.279 --> 02:11:28.000
focus on your hands, and maybe notice the difference between

1745
02:11:28.039 --> 02:11:38.960
each hand. Perhaps notice the air in the room, the

1746
02:11:39.000 --> 02:11:40.159
temperature of the room.

1747
02:11:42.039 --> 02:11:43.640
On the backs of your hands.

1748
02:11:51.439 --> 02:11:55.319
You may start to notice what almost feels like a

1749
02:11:55.479 --> 02:12:03.520
very light breeze, even though there may not be any

1750
02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:05.960
type of breeze at all.

1751
02:12:07.279 --> 02:12:08.840
Where you are right now.

1752
02:12:17.039 --> 02:12:27.640
And as you become aware of your hands, I'm also

1753
02:12:27.960 --> 02:12:56.159
aware of how relaxed my hands are feeling now, and

1754
02:12:56.319 --> 02:13:03.279
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which

1755
02:13:03.359 --> 02:13:17.479
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

1756
02:13:19.720 --> 02:13:31.760
when I make these recordings. I also notice.

1757
02:13:29.920 --> 02:13:33.199
My mind drifting.

1758
02:13:41.079 --> 02:13:53.680
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,

1759
02:13:58.560 --> 02:14:07.119
and then I carry on tour talking and it's only

1760
02:14:07.399 --> 02:14:16.039
when I listen back to do the editing I hear

1761
02:14:16.399 --> 02:14:26.279
snoring and I think, I don't remember snoring. I remember talking.

1762
02:14:28.960 --> 02:14:36.359
This snoring was a pick turned up. That's why I

1763
02:14:36.439 --> 02:14:46.520
sound like when I snore, I get really into the

1764
02:14:46.560 --> 02:15:04.760
whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how relaxed

1765
02:15:04.920 --> 02:15:11.119
you feel in your feet, how relaxed.

1766
02:15:14.239 --> 02:15:36.000
You feel in your hands. I have noticed more and more.

1767
02:15:41.680 --> 02:15:54.439
That the more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel,

1768
02:15:58.039 --> 02:16:11.840
the easier you're pret even becomes. It's almost like that

1769
02:16:13.359 --> 02:16:30.680
additional muscle relaxation. So this allows you to breathe easier

1770
02:16:37.879 --> 02:16:56.360
without necessarily focusing on your breath, however, being able to.

1771
02:16:59.680 --> 02:17:16.360
M notice the ease in which.

1772
02:17:23.559 --> 02:17:46.280
You breathe so naturally, you breathe so very easily and smoothly.

1773
02:18:13.959 --> 02:18:31.639
Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when I've got my

1774
02:18:31.760 --> 02:18:50.559
eyes closed, I tend to visualize a beautiful field with

1775
02:18:50.760 --> 02:18:53.239
trees and flowers.

1776
02:18:59.360 --> 02:19:00.760
Producing and all that.

1777
02:19:02.719 --> 02:19:35.520
Life giving oxygen. And it feels nice too, if nothing else,

1778
02:19:38.719 --> 02:20:12.840
just taking some time away from everything, enjoying that feeling

1779
02:20:13.200 --> 02:21:03.760
of peace, serenity with a joyful heart. Time seems to

1780
02:21:04.000 --> 02:21:39.120
just drip by, so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peaceful,

1781
02:21:49.040 --> 02:22:57.200
completely unattached to any thoughts whatsoever in this moment, completely free.

1782
02:22:58.280 --> 02:22:59.479
Notice that.

1783
02:23:06.959 --> 02:23:08.200
Your mind.

1784
02:23:15.440 --> 02:23:55.399
Has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really requires your attention.

1785
02:24:11.879 --> 02:24:26.200
You can enjoy the physical sensations of allowing the stress

1786
02:24:26.520 --> 02:24:39.079
to drip out of your body, Dripping out of every

1787
02:24:42.479 --> 02:25:07.879
part of your body and being released from your brain,

1788
02:25:13.120 --> 02:25:48.399
hue your mind slowly but surely, the muscles in your

1789
02:25:48.520 --> 02:26:40.760
legs relax res res so very deeply, relax so deeply,

1790
02:26:58.520 --> 02:27:05.719
and the fee things, the pleasant feelings in your arms

1791
02:27:07.639 --> 02:27:29.799
and shoulders deepening each part of your body.

1792
02:27:32.760 --> 02:27:51.159
Further and deeper and deeper.

1793
02:28:05.639 --> 02:28:35.319
Noticine, the feelings in the back of your neck, the

1794
02:28:35.479 --> 02:29:14.680
feelings in your wrists, muscles, in the front of your body,

1795
02:29:25.079 --> 02:30:08.520
I will say, feeling peaceful, deeping. There's a sense of

1796
02:30:08.799 --> 02:30:15.280
peace spreads through.

1797
02:30:16.600 --> 02:30:17.799
Your very core.

1798
02:30:48.280 --> 02:31:08.239
Even when you focus on your mind. Her mind becomes

1799
02:31:15.559 --> 02:32:38.399
be and slowerven, deeper, relaxing, so very slow. Your stomach

1800
02:32:52.559 --> 02:33:34.520
taste full in your stomach, her back. Notice Notice how

1801
02:33:34.760 --> 02:33:41.959
relaxed you now feel.

1802
02:33:50.719 --> 02:34:19.079
In the hole of your back. Your spy.

1803
02:34:22.840 --> 02:34:27.559
From your brain all the way down the middle of

1804
02:34:27.600 --> 02:34:53.239
your back, sending and receiving millions of messages every day, decomfort.

1805
02:34:54.799 --> 02:35:08.920
Increasing deeply relaxed.

1806
02:35:38.120 --> 02:36:13.040
Ms, legs, spreading those signals down your spine or cord.

1807
02:36:17.159 --> 02:36:36.120
Look into air, every part of your body, your shins

1808
02:36:36.280 --> 02:37:24.399
and your calf, muscles, your elbows, Feelings of peace.

1809
02:37:27.000 --> 02:37:28.959
And tranquility.

1810
02:37:32.000 --> 02:37:46.000
Spreading through your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes,

1811
02:37:50.399 --> 02:38:09.120
your fingers, all the way to your lower back. I'm

1812
02:38:09.239 --> 02:39:12.360
letting go, reletting pace, drifting mind, just wonder in a way,

1813
02:39:21.840 --> 02:40:02.479
happy to let go, let go completely, let he so

1814
02:40:02.840 --> 02:40:34.040
tranquil your whole body, enjoying.

1815
02:40:33.639 --> 02:40:59.600
A sensor listing.

1816
02:40:59.760 --> 02:43:08.600
Go, hey, no.

1817
02:42:13.600 --> 02:43:00.000
Space, enjoy space, this space.

1818
02:43:02.440 --> 02:43:03.639
Of peace.

1819
02:43:06.719 --> 02:43:32.000
And safety s firy.

1820
02:43:34.719 --> 02:45:29.760
Fy relaxed, mulis las letting go. Maybe we can just

1821
02:45:32.639 --> 02:45:41.479
focus on the different parts of your body, just to

1822
02:45:41.719 --> 02:47:10.600
notice your forehead and your eyes. Chu said this, noticing

1823
02:47:10.799 --> 02:48:30.440
the sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, dress day, dress day.

1824
02:48:42.799 --> 02:48:44.079
He's fall.

1825
02:48:45.680 --> 02:49:26.479
Energyhhhh paste to breeze such.

1826
02:49:26.079 --> 02:50:09.200
Ease, yeah, loose.

1827
02:50:30.159 --> 02:50:35.600
You may have you may not have.

1828
02:50:35.760 --> 02:51:37.120
Noticed your mind drifting peaceful, move ay even more deeply

1829
02:51:42.600 --> 02:51:55.959
in the direction of total blissful peace.

1830
02:52:00.399 --> 02:52:01.559
For pace.

1831
02:52:29.760 --> 02:54:03.879
To rest, to to pace. So let him go.

1832
02:54:28.520 --> 02:55:05.559
Peace with mind f rex.

1833
02:55:13.360 --> 02:55:14.959
So relaxed.

1834
02:55:39.319 --> 02:55:42.600
A body feels almost.

1835
02:55:43.639 --> 02:56:12.600
Invisible, very relaxed, paceful, so.

1836
02:56:20.319 --> 02:57:01.920
Paceful, like God. So.

1837
02:57:20.200 --> 02:57:26.479
And you could start to notice that you are feeling

1838
02:57:26.840 --> 02:57:38.079
more relaxed, even though I've not purposely focused your mind

1839
02:57:39.000 --> 02:57:46.600
upon that sense of physical comfort that is growing within

1840
02:57:46.680 --> 02:57:52.840
you throughout your body, and your mind.

1841
02:57:54.559 --> 02:57:55.799
Starts to slow down.

1842
02:58:00.760 --> 02:58:08.000
And that could be almost in recognition of I guess

1843
02:58:08.360 --> 02:58:20.920
my speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally

1844
02:58:22.559 --> 02:58:33.600
feel calmer. Just by listening to my voice, you give

1845
02:58:33.639 --> 02:58:40.559
yourself an opportunity to take a break from the day,

1846
02:58:42.680 --> 02:58:50.200
take a break from your life as it is, and

1847
02:58:50.319 --> 02:58:58.079
to give yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take

1848
02:58:58.159 --> 02:59:03.760
some time off, and to allow your body to relax

1849
02:59:05.440 --> 02:59:13.399
and allow your mind to slow down, which in turn

1850
02:59:15.959 --> 02:59:22.680
releases the tension any stresses that you had in your body.

1851
02:59:27.559 --> 02:59:31.479
It's almost as if the parts of your body just

1852
02:59:31.719 --> 02:59:43.479
open up, allowing the negativity out and at the same

1853
02:59:43.559 --> 02:59:54.879
time replacing that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then

1854
02:59:55.040 --> 03:00:04.280
fills your body up and your mind to also starts

1855
03:00:04.360 --> 03:00:21.799
to appreciate those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling,

1856
03:00:23.879 --> 03:00:37.920
positive healing, an energy that spreads through your body like

1857
03:00:38.000 --> 03:00:48.319
a wave of comfort. And all this comes from just

1858
03:00:51.879 --> 03:01:00.680
allowing yourself a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however

1859
03:01:00.719 --> 03:01:10.479
long you want it to be, to just rest and

1860
03:01:10.639 --> 03:01:20.680
allow your mind and your body to almost reset itself

1861
03:01:23.520 --> 03:01:39.280
to the settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allows

1862
03:01:39.639 --> 03:01:44.760
more room for feelings of pleasure.

1863
03:01:46.920 --> 03:01:48.360
And happiness.

1864
03:01:51.719 --> 03:02:00.840
To move around your body and into your mind, almost

1865
03:02:01.360 --> 03:02:05.959
as if your mind and your body are sinking together,

1866
03:02:10.239 --> 03:02:19.959
almost mirroring each other with that growing positivity and calmness,

1867
03:02:24.959 --> 03:02:32.479
and it feels nice, really does feel nice to know

1868
03:02:32.719 --> 03:02:41.600
that you are the one that has allowed yourself to

1869
03:02:41.840 --> 03:02:51.079
feel more comfort than to experience.

1870
03:02:52.639 --> 03:02:53.920
More of this.

1871
03:02:55.559 --> 03:03:11.000
Deep relaxation spreading throughout your body. And as I focus

1872
03:03:12.280 --> 03:03:18.280
on each part of your body, you can notice that

1873
03:03:18.280 --> 03:03:35.319
that part becomes even more relaxed just by focusing on it.

1874
03:03:35.319 --> 03:03:45.040
It becomes even more calm and comfortable. Just by focusing.

1875
03:03:49.079 --> 03:03:54.920
And as I move down your body, starting at your head,

1876
03:03:57.520 --> 03:04:02.799
the parts that you have already focused on or continue

1877
03:04:04.159 --> 03:04:11.280
to relax deeply, and those parts that have not yet

1878
03:04:11.479 --> 03:04:24.360
focused on or just automatically release any remain intention in

1879
03:04:24.479 --> 03:04:38.719
anticipation of even more comfort about to come. Now, I'm

1880
03:04:38.760 --> 03:04:45.280
going to start by focusing on your forehead. Just being

1881
03:04:45.399 --> 03:04:49.920
aware of the feelings of your forehead.

1882
03:04:53.040 --> 03:04:54.680
And any background.

1883
03:04:54.280 --> 03:05:01.440
Sounds like mister Herbert's opinion, can just allow you to

1884
03:05:01.559 --> 03:05:08.840
feel even more relaxed. Just means you, in the moment,

1885
03:05:11.920 --> 03:05:15.000
this isn't this isn't a sterile environment.

1886
03:05:16.319 --> 03:05:17.360
This is the world.

1887
03:05:20.760 --> 03:05:26.799
I live in the countryside, so there's lots of nature

1888
03:05:27.319 --> 03:05:37.840
sounds around. So as you focus on your forehead, just

1889
03:05:38.079 --> 03:05:48.920
notice how it becomes even more relaxed. Focus only on

1890
03:05:49.079 --> 03:05:58.680
my voice and that part of your body, moving down

1891
03:05:58.920 --> 03:06:11.440
to your eyes, focusing on your eyes, noticing how your

1892
03:06:11.479 --> 03:06:19.360
eyelids feel so heavy yet so light at the same time,

1893
03:06:22.680 --> 03:06:26.479
and all the muscles around your eyes relaxing.

1894
03:06:27.639 --> 03:06:28.319
Completely.

1895
03:06:33.000 --> 03:06:40.680
Moving your focus down to your mouth, your lips, your tongue,

1896
03:06:41.840 --> 03:06:43.799
your teeth, your gums.

1897
03:06:45.680 --> 03:06:47.600
The whole of your mouth.

1898
03:06:49.079 --> 03:07:03.600
Relaxing, calm and loose as you focus now on your jaw,

1899
03:07:06.600 --> 03:07:10.200
not just the parts of your jaw near your mouth

1900
03:07:10.959 --> 03:07:15.280
and your chin, but all the way up the size

1901
03:07:15.319 --> 03:07:17.399
of your face to.

1902
03:07:17.399 --> 03:07:24.440
Your ears, the hole of your jaw.

1903
03:07:24.799 --> 03:07:31.920
Feeling more relaxed.

1904
03:07:35.159 --> 03:07:44.159
And calm.

1905
03:07:44.239 --> 03:07:53.399
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and

1906
03:07:53.440 --> 03:08:06.479
your throat relaxing and loose and calm. The sides of

1907
03:08:06.559 --> 03:08:12.079
your neck, the right and left side of your neck.

1908
03:08:14.799 --> 03:08:18.239
Relaxant, please.

1909
03:08:22.000 --> 03:08:29.000
And calm.

1910
03:08:29.120 --> 03:08:36.000
And now the back of your neck, focusing on the

1911
03:08:36.040 --> 03:08:46.479
back of your neck, letting go of any tension that

1912
03:08:46.680 --> 03:08:47.639
may have been.

1913
03:08:47.440 --> 03:08:52.159
There before, and enjoying that.

1914
03:08:54.719 --> 03:09:01.520
Sense of increasing comfort and release.

1915
03:09:04.280 --> 03:09:08.280
Then you can experience in the back of your neck,

1916
03:09:14.559 --> 03:09:21.200
moving down your back and moving either side of your

1917
03:09:21.239 --> 03:09:24.319
spine right from the top of.

1918
03:09:24.280 --> 03:09:25.159
Your back.

1919
03:09:26.760 --> 03:09:30.440
All the way down to the bottom of your back.

1920
03:09:36.399 --> 03:09:47.840
Down it's your lower back. As you move up and

1921
03:09:48.000 --> 03:09:57.040
down your spine, you can feel the muscles either side

1922
03:09:57.079 --> 03:10:11.840
of your spine relaxing even more. And as those muscles relax,

1923
03:10:13.920 --> 03:10:21.879
that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards from your

1924
03:10:21.959 --> 03:10:31.520
spine into both sides of your back, the top of

1925
03:10:31.559 --> 03:10:38.520
your back, the middle end your lower back. And as

1926
03:10:38.559 --> 03:10:46.079
you scan gently and slowly up and down your back,

1927
03:10:48.440 --> 03:10:52.799
there's the muscles in the top of your back relax

1928
03:10:53.319 --> 03:11:00.959
and become looser. The muscles in the middle of your

1929
03:11:01.000 --> 03:11:08.479
back also seem to just almost divide from each other,

1930
03:11:09.399 --> 03:11:25.680
separating and almost melting, and in your lower back there

1931
03:11:25.719 --> 03:11:38.440
seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort. The

1932
03:11:38.760 --> 03:11:45.079
spreads into your hips. Sit down your lower back, into

1933
03:11:45.120 --> 03:11:56.440
your hips, into the area where your cosix are, and

1934
03:11:56.559 --> 03:12:03.079
into your buttocks. These muscles that spread.

1935
03:12:05.280 --> 03:12:06.360
Bring your lower.

1936
03:12:06.079 --> 03:12:20.479
Back into your hip area, start to melt, start to.

1937
03:12:20.600 --> 03:12:22.959
Reading, let go.

1938
03:12:29.319 --> 03:12:34.200
And even know where about to focus on your shoulders.

1939
03:12:35.879 --> 03:12:43.079
Your back and your spine will continue to let go,

1940
03:12:45.920 --> 03:13:01.680
continue to relax so calmly, and if you focus on

1941
03:13:01.719 --> 03:13:09.719
your shoulders, you may notice they're already feeling.

1942
03:13:12.479 --> 03:13:21.200
Really loose. They're already.

1943
03:13:23.520 --> 03:13:37.280
Feeding calm the feeling.

1944
03:13:41.440 --> 03:13:43.159
Those muscles.

1945
03:13:45.239 --> 03:13:57.639
Then move from your neck into your shoulders feel so

1946
03:13:57.639 --> 03:14:26.639
soft and gentle, so smooth and calm, and the feeling

1947
03:14:26.799 --> 03:14:39.719
in your shoulders seems to spread deep into your shoulders,

1948
03:14:41.719 --> 03:14:51.000
a sense of relaxation, not just traveling deeply into your muscles,

1949
03:14:54.440 --> 03:15:07.040
but also relaxing the bone us and moving all the

1950
03:15:07.120 --> 03:15:16.200
way to underneath your arms, relaxing a whole area between

1951
03:15:16.239 --> 03:15:28.040
the tops of your shoulders and underneath your arms healing.

1952
03:15:30.959 --> 03:15:31.680
You feel so.

1953
03:15:33.559 --> 03:15:45.000
Relaxed and comfortable in your shoulders, which sends that.

1954
03:15:47.280 --> 03:15:49.360
Deep healing.

1955
03:15:52.280 --> 03:15:59.399
Message into your arms.

1956
03:16:06.040 --> 03:16:07.399
You may feel.

1957
03:16:08.840 --> 03:16:11.079
Almost as if your arms are not.

1958
03:16:11.200 --> 03:16:11.799
Even that.

1959
03:16:13.479 --> 03:16:17.159
Because the son relaxed.

1960
03:16:19.559 --> 03:17:05.239
So deeply, relaxed, so calm.

1961
03:16:50.479 --> 03:16:50.559
So.

1962
03:16:57.440 --> 03:17:07.319
This the feelings spreading.

1963
03:17:09.520 --> 03:17:17.360
All the way down your arms, two elbows.

1964
03:17:19.959 --> 03:17:22.680
Including.

1965
03:17:23.040 --> 03:17:37.120

1968
03:18:03.200 --> 03:18:47.280
the same time, sunlight and gentle frey sat Now on.

Real pace.

Just seems to feel so familiar.

1972

On your hands, relax deeply else your fingers. I think

Everything.

So I'm gonna start counting down now from twenty down

1988
03:29:45.280 --> 03:29:53.360
to one. You can imagine in a way it's like

1989
03:29:54.159 --> 03:30:00.639
just walking down some steps in each step or twenty steps,

1990
03:30:00.719 --> 03:30:09.840
and each step represents a level of comfort. Each step

1991
03:30:10.360 --> 03:30:25.879
represents a deepening of that comfort and the fervies you

1992
03:30:26.040 --> 03:30:32.079
walk down those steps to deeper and more relaxed you feel.

1993
03:30:38.799 --> 03:32:26.600
So starting with number twenty twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seven, ten,

1994
03:33:12.920 --> 03:41:38.520
sixteenhhhh three fourhhhhhhhhhhhh fo you wellh ninehhhhhhhhhhhh eight.

1995
03:42:38.000 --> 03:44:16.040
S six.

1996
03:45:30.879 --> 03:47:01.440
Five four.

1997
03:47:13.239 --> 03:47:57.479
Us us.

1998
03:50:28.559 --> 03:50:28.799
One.

1999
03:51:18.360 --> 03:51:19.079
And now.

2000
03:51:23.479 --> 03:51:36.120
As you focus on your eyes, You're gonna count down

2001
03:51:36.520 --> 03:51:47.639
from ten down to one, focusing just on your eyes,

2002
03:51:51.399 --> 03:51:59.799
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye walls themselves,

2003
03:52:01.440 --> 03:52:03.000
a whole area.

2004
03:52:05.639 --> 03:52:19.520
That makes up your eye. And as we count down

2005
03:52:19.760 --> 03:52:20.600
from ten.

2006
03:52:22.399 --> 03:52:34.840
Down to one, whilst focusing on your eyes, you will

2007
03:52:35.200 --> 03:52:49.559
become twice is relaxed. With each number counting down that

2008
03:52:49.799 --> 03:52:51.120
you may find.

2009
03:52:55.000 --> 03:52:57.600
The what you want to do is just.

2010
03:52:59.479 --> 03:53:06.760
Three ft off to sleep. And if that's what you want,

2011
03:53:09.799 --> 03:53:22.760
then just allow yourself to do that. Now, focusing on

2012
03:53:22.920 --> 03:53:28.280
your eyes, I'm going to begin counting down.

2013
03:53:29.600 --> 03:54:46.360
From ten down to one right now, ten nine, eight.

2014
03:55:39.559 --> 04:00:06.159
Seven four.

2015
04:00:08.280 --> 04:02:59.440
Three one. So count down from ten to one.

2016
04:03:01.319 --> 04:03:03.959
Ten nine.

2017
04:03:05.440 --> 04:03:19.879
Eight seven six five four three.

2018
04:03:22.479 --> 04:03:25.600
Two one.

2019
04:03:32.639 --> 04:03:35.520
And maybe that was a bit too quick in order

2020
04:03:35.600 --> 04:03:36.200
to relax.

2021
04:03:37.440 --> 04:03:41.680
Maybe it's a bit too fast for you to notice

2022
04:03:41.959 --> 04:03:50.079
the calming of your body, maybe even a little.

2023
04:03:49.879 --> 04:03:50.600
Bit of pressure.

2024
04:03:50.680 --> 04:03:54.479
They're like, you're counting down from ten to one, would

2025
04:03:54.520 --> 04:03:55.399
you expect.

2026
04:03:55.159 --> 04:03:55.680
Me to do?

2027
04:03:56.000 --> 04:04:00.600
Man, expect me to stick go with floppy just because

2028
04:04:00.639 --> 04:04:01.680
you're counting down.

2029
04:04:07.239 --> 04:04:10.559
If you try it again, but this time, I'll go

2030
04:04:10.600 --> 04:04:11.760
a bit slower.

2031
04:04:13.600 --> 04:04:14.159
This time.

2032
04:04:15.440 --> 04:04:20.360
As you focus on the whole of your body before

2033
04:04:20.479 --> 04:04:21.959
we focus on your legs.

2034
04:04:24.399 --> 04:04:25.559
Just notice.

2035
04:04:26.719 --> 04:04:28.040
How your body does.

2036
04:04:29.559 --> 04:04:42.680
Start to feel more relaxed with every number that I

2037
04:04:42.879 --> 04:04:43.559
count down.

2038
04:04:46.840 --> 04:04:53.200
Ten nine.

2039
04:04:58.559 --> 04:05:23.159
At eight, seven, six, five.

2040
04:05:33.399 --> 04:06:32.559
Four three one, And just notice how you feel generally,

2041
04:06:33.000 --> 04:06:34.040
how your body feels.

2042
04:06:40.719 --> 04:06:49.000
It's not necessarily even about counting down from ten to one.

2043
04:06:52.000 --> 04:06:54.159
It's that space that.

2044
04:06:54.280 --> 04:06:55.959
You have, that.

2045
04:06:58.559 --> 04:07:09.840
Space between being active.

2046
04:07:11.760 --> 04:07:21.280
Physically or mentally to just sitting or lying down, just

2047
04:07:21.520 --> 04:07:24.040
being there, not doing.

2048
04:07:23.840 --> 04:07:29.200
Anything, not saying anything, or needing to think about anything.

2049
04:07:31.040 --> 04:07:34.680
So it opens up a space, you know, a bit

2050
04:07:34.760 --> 04:07:45.520
of a space, a gap. And the more I came

2051
04:07:45.639 --> 04:07:50.200
down from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes.

2052
04:07:53.239 --> 04:07:59.600
So there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation.

2053
04:08:05.559 --> 04:08:13.479
It's a nice feeling, and it moves.

2054
04:08:14.639 --> 04:08:22.639
Those stresses or discomforts physically or emotionally, moves them.

2055
04:08:24.159 --> 04:08:32.280
Away. Allows you.

2056
04:08:35.000 --> 04:08:35.520
To just.

2057
04:08:38.520 --> 04:08:39.159
Slow down.

2058
04:08:42.799 --> 04:08:45.239
Someone to count a game from ten down to one

2059
04:08:45.680 --> 04:08:55.879
and notice that gap widening, the gap, And as it widens,

2060
04:08:55.959 --> 04:08:57.000
it's almost like the.

2061
04:08:58.680 --> 04:09:17.680
Stress and attention falls into the gap gives you that distance.

2062
04:09:19.159 --> 04:10:12.079
That space. Now ten nine, eight, seven, six, five.

2063
04:10:22.959 --> 04:10:23.440
Four.

2064
04:10:41.559 --> 04:11:29.719
Three one. Now, how did your.

2065
04:11:31.799 --> 04:11:32.959
Body you feel.

2066
04:11:34.959 --> 04:11:35.120
Now?

2067
04:11:47.840 --> 04:12:00.920
Can you notice that? Do you feeling calmer, the feeling.

2068
04:12:02.840 --> 04:12:04.680
More relaxed.

2069
04:12:26.600 --> 04:12:30.920
As we now focus on your legs, just your les.

2070
04:12:46.959 --> 04:13:07.079
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

2071
04:13:07.200 --> 04:13:12.120
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because

2072
04:13:15.559 --> 04:13:18.200
I'm sure like most of your body is not a

2073
04:13:18.319 --> 04:13:30.719
not going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

2074
04:13:30.840 --> 04:13:37.200
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides

2075
04:13:37.399 --> 04:13:43.799
of your fighs, the bottoms of your thighs. You're outer

2076
04:13:44.000 --> 04:13:49.079
thighs and you're inner thighs. Basically the whole of your

2077
04:13:49.159 --> 04:13:58.040
thigh that leads into your hip and it goes down

2078
04:13:58.239 --> 04:13:58.799
to your.

2079
04:14:00.760 --> 04:14:01.440
Knee joints.

2080
04:14:06.600 --> 04:14:13.799
Now, this is a big area. It's a very heavy area.

2081
04:14:14.319 --> 04:14:20.319
It's very strong, probably the strongest muscles in your body

2082
04:14:21.040 --> 04:14:21.920
or in your thighs.

2083
04:14:32.079 --> 04:14:38.040
But I don't think we perhaps give enough.

2084
04:14:37.920 --> 04:14:51.600
Attention to our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important

2085
04:14:53.000 --> 04:15:13.280
our thighs are to our lives, how much they actually

2086
04:15:13.479 --> 04:15:14.159
do for us.

2087
04:15:17.920 --> 04:15:28.840
All through our lives. And it may seem sound really weird, but.

2088
04:15:31.680 --> 04:15:33.040
I think that all of our.

2089
04:15:32.959 --> 04:15:43.840
Body parts, especially our thighs, needs some TLC, a bit

2090
04:15:43.879 --> 04:15:56.760
of love shown, a bit of the acknowledgement, thank you

2091
04:16:00.040 --> 04:16:05.479
attitude for what our thighs do for us.

2092
04:16:12.040 --> 04:16:17.639
And I know this may sound a bit strange. Maybe

2093
04:16:17.680 --> 04:16:19.920
you think, why am I sure?

2094
04:16:20.000 --> 04:16:22.879
How should be out in the garden hugging a tree

2095
04:16:23.079 --> 04:16:31.280
or something. It's hard to set a microphone up on

2096
04:16:31.360 --> 04:16:34.639
a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors. Otherwise I

2097
04:16:34.639 --> 04:16:38.280
wouldn't be outside hugging a tree, I can't see the

2098
04:16:38.319 --> 04:16:47.040
television from the tree. If you move down to your

2099
04:16:47.120 --> 04:16:56.920
knees gain such an important part. And I think we

2100
04:16:57.040 --> 04:17:07.319
don't necessarily for myself, I don't necessarily appreciate all that

2101
04:17:07.440 --> 04:17:12.280
my needs to do for me until I have a

2102
04:17:12.360 --> 04:17:17.639
problem with my needs. Occasionally, if I ever, maybe i'll

2103
04:17:17.680 --> 04:17:23.520
bash it or it's aching for some reason. It's then

2104
04:17:24.040 --> 04:17:29.200
that I realize how much it does. You know, the

2105
04:17:29.360 --> 04:17:37.120
benefit of being able to use my legs without any

2106
04:17:37.200 --> 04:17:39.760
kind of physical discomfort.

2107
04:17:40.639 --> 04:17:42.479
Is a beautiful thing.

2108
04:17:43.879 --> 04:17:51.520
That's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You know

2109
04:17:51.680 --> 04:18:01.079
that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees, regardless

2110
04:18:01.200 --> 04:18:06.760
of how your knees feel, you can have that sense

2111
04:18:06.840 --> 04:18:09.840
of gratitude.

2112
04:18:10.559 --> 04:18:13.159
And love to your needs for all that they do

2113
04:18:13.360 --> 04:18:26.360
for you. And you can still have that attention on

2114
04:18:26.520 --> 04:18:27.159
your thighs.

2115
04:18:27.959 --> 04:18:34.680
Maybe notice how your thighs feel, Maybe notice that they

2116
04:18:35.600 --> 04:18:53.360
are relaxing more deeply as you focus now on the

2117
04:18:53.440 --> 04:18:57.879
bottoms of your legs, your shins and your calf muscles,

2118
04:18:58.360 --> 04:19:06.600
the bones between your knees and your feet incorporated of course,

2119
04:19:06.719 --> 04:19:19.159
your ankles so important. Anyone that's had even like the

2120
04:19:19.360 --> 04:19:26.200
slightest spray of an ankle knows how how much we

2121
04:19:26.319 --> 04:19:36.559
take our ankles for granted. And it's kind of strange

2122
04:19:36.600 --> 04:19:41.440
in a way when you think that. You know, logically

2123
04:19:41.799 --> 04:19:44.879
our wrists are a lot thinner than the rest of

2124
04:19:44.920 --> 04:19:49.600
our arms, which is okay, it doesn't I can't see

2125
04:19:49.639 --> 04:19:53.120
any problem with that because we're just picking stuff up.

2126
04:19:54.719 --> 04:19:56.200
Our ankles.

2127
04:19:57.440 --> 04:20:07.360
So much thinner than the rest of our legs, and

2128
04:20:07.520 --> 04:20:12.000
from a physics perspective or logical even it doesn't really

2129
04:20:12.120 --> 04:20:19.360
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting

2130
04:20:20.360 --> 04:20:30.360
on your ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area,

2131
04:20:31.840 --> 04:20:41.479
thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports us,

2132
04:20:41.559 --> 04:20:54.479
supports our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance, helps.

2133
04:20:54.239 --> 04:21:06.840
You to get around and be mobile while and there's

2134
04:21:06.879 --> 04:21:07.760
the calf muscles.

2135
04:21:07.799 --> 04:21:15.440
Of course, when I was younger, I couldn't see the

2136
04:21:15.479 --> 04:21:20.559
point in calf muscles didn't seem to do anything. Okay,

2137
04:21:21.719 --> 04:21:25.200
if I walked around on tiptoes, then my calf muscles

2138
04:21:25.280 --> 04:21:25.920
get some work.

2139
04:21:27.280 --> 04:21:28.600
But of course that's not true.

2140
04:21:28.760 --> 04:21:33.319
The calf muscles are being used whenever we use the legs,

2141
04:21:38.920 --> 04:21:51.520
and your shins there to protect your lower legs shaped

2142
04:21:51.600 --> 04:21:56.280
in a way, almost as a protector for the bone,

2143
04:22:03.879 --> 04:22:07.479
leading of course to your ankles.

2144
04:22:10.360 --> 04:22:11.040
And your feet.

2145
04:22:15.879 --> 04:22:17.760
We're not going to focus on your feet. We're just

2146
04:22:17.840 --> 04:22:24.319
going to focus on the legs. I realize, and now

2147
04:22:24.360 --> 04:22:28.959
that I've mentioned your feet, you'll probably focus on them anyway,

2148
04:22:29.479 --> 04:22:32.040
So maybe I should focus on your feet a little bit.

2149
04:22:36.079 --> 04:22:40.520
You can have them in your awareness the same as

2150
04:22:40.600 --> 04:22:44.920
you have your thighs in your awareness. Even though we

2151
04:22:45.079 --> 04:22:50.799
haven't been focusing on your thighs a few minutes and

2152
04:22:51.000 --> 04:23:01.959
we're focusing on your ankles, there's still that sensation of.

2153
04:23:05.159 --> 04:23:18.239
Comfort in your thighs, and there's that movement of energy.

2154
04:23:19.959 --> 04:23:27.000
Because the thighs hold lots of different sensations. Of course,

2155
04:23:27.079 --> 04:23:31.840
there's the muscles, the big straw muscles that we have

2156
04:23:32.040 --> 04:23:45.360
in our thighs, but the skin on the outside of

2157
04:23:45.479 --> 04:23:50.760
the thighs, as in the outside of all of our body,

2158
04:23:51.559 --> 04:24:03.159
can be very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature,

2159
04:24:09.680 --> 04:24:17.239
and inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's

2160
04:24:17.280 --> 04:24:22.079
the blood, vessels, the arch trees, to all this stuff

2161
04:24:22.200 --> 04:24:31.280
that's inside your thighs. I guess sometimes it'd be nice

2162
04:24:31.319 --> 04:24:35.639
if you could actually put your fingers inside your thighs

2163
04:24:36.280 --> 04:24:41.440
and a message. So you can message on the outside,

2164
04:24:41.600 --> 04:24:44.600
of course, but to be able to get deep into

2165
04:24:44.680 --> 04:24:50.159
the muscles, to be able to just message inside your thighs,

2166
04:24:51.000 --> 04:24:59.559
message in the bones of your leg message or the

2167
04:24:59.680 --> 04:25:06.239
thing just gently heathing fives.

2168
04:25:09.799 --> 04:25:11.440
And you can move down.

2169
04:25:13.200 --> 04:25:18.239
Message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,

2170
04:25:19.239 --> 04:25:26.280
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

2171
04:25:26.399 --> 04:25:35.799
the choice of your knees. Of course, there's the back

2172
04:25:36.000 --> 04:25:44.079
of your need, the inside crease real need is it's

2173
04:25:44.079 --> 04:25:49.719
a really sensitive area. It feels very nice when you

2174
04:25:49.959 --> 04:25:54.639
stroke it. That might be because it's an area that's

2175
04:25:54.719 --> 04:25:56.479
not really touched very often.

2176
04:25:58.559 --> 04:26:05.440
It's almost like a hidden apart that crease your legs.

2177
04:26:05.520 --> 04:26:06.440
It's almost.

2178
04:26:08.440 --> 04:26:09.200
Like a part that.

2179
04:26:10.959 --> 04:26:22.239
Has a sensitivity, which is a little bit different. Of course,

2180
04:26:22.280 --> 04:26:32.760
it's protected by your legs. So I can imagine putting

2181
04:26:33.639 --> 04:26:43.520
your fingers into that crease in your legs. Funwelded in

2182
04:26:43.600 --> 04:26:47.559
between your legs. You can just message with your fingertips.

2183
04:26:48.760 --> 04:26:55.520
Imagine your fingertips going inside massage in the muscle or tissue.

2184
04:27:00.159 --> 04:27:06.719
You can cause fielder bones of your knees heating through

2185
04:27:06.799 --> 04:27:19.440
your fingertips and then as you go down to your

2186
04:27:19.559 --> 04:27:22.239
calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like to be

2187
04:27:22.280 --> 04:27:29.079
able to really put my fingertips steep inside my half muscles.

2188
04:27:30.159 --> 04:27:32.120
Massage in every.

2189
04:27:33.440 --> 04:27:46.159
Single tissue of that muscle, healing every part, and then

2190
04:27:46.280 --> 04:27:54.000
doing the same for my shies, massage in generly stroking

2191
04:27:54.200 --> 04:28:02.319
the bones, generally stroking them, healing having way, because they

2192
04:28:02.440 --> 04:28:08.799
deserve to be treated as the precious bones that they are.

2193
04:28:10.159 --> 04:28:13.399
Because our legs are so precious as in all the

2194
04:28:13.479 --> 04:28:17.920
other parts of our body, the more.

2195
04:28:17.799 --> 04:28:31.360
Precious of any jure on the planet. When when you

2196
04:28:31.600 --> 04:28:43.719
start to think about the legs in this way, it

2197
04:28:43.840 --> 04:28:53.479
can change your perspective. It might sound a bit a

2198
04:28:53.600 --> 04:28:56.440
bit silly to start with the.

2199
04:28:56.600 --> 04:29:03.520
Idea of having love your legs, showing appreciation.

2200
04:29:04.680 --> 04:29:10.120
For your thighs. Wants me to be able to put

2201
04:29:10.159 --> 04:29:11.959
your hands in.

2202
04:29:12.079 --> 04:29:20.840
Your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones, and to

2203
04:29:20.920 --> 04:29:29.239
get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension, just

2204
04:29:29.360 --> 04:29:38.639
to show how much you care about your legs and

2205
04:29:38.799 --> 04:29:44.760
what you care for, what your legs do for you regularly,

2206
04:29:47.159 --> 04:29:57.360
your knees, your calms, your ankles, the strength of your ankles,

2207
04:30:00.280 --> 04:30:05.000
considering how thin they are, compared to the rest of

2208
04:30:05.040 --> 04:30:14.840
your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible,

2209
04:30:18.600 --> 04:30:21.000
absolutely amazing things.

2210
04:30:22.559 --> 04:30:32.159
Ankles are truly a gift because of what they do

2211
04:30:32.360 --> 04:30:32.600
for you.

2212
04:30:38.040 --> 04:30:45.000
Supporting all that weight. Regardless of how what weight you are,

2213
04:30:46.200 --> 04:30:51.000
even if you only ate stone, there's still a lot

2214
04:30:51.000 --> 04:30:57.879
of weight for these little ankles, how a lot.

2215
04:30:57.920 --> 04:30:59.639
Heavier than eatstone.

2216
04:31:00.639 --> 04:31:01.079
Doubled.

2217
04:31:04.719 --> 04:31:09.760
Yet my ankles, it's called my body all the time?

2218
04:31:13.520 --> 04:31:14.079
What do they do?

2219
04:31:14.920 --> 04:31:17.200
Give off a sigh of relief when I sit down,

2220
04:31:19.520 --> 04:31:28.200
as I've had my whole legs though, my fee feels.

2221
04:31:29.879 --> 04:31:53.479
My toes clap so happy. Your legs.

2222
04:31:55.040 --> 04:32:03.879
Really are amazing, and talking about talking about your legs

2223
04:32:04.040 --> 04:32:10.440
is probably possibly one of the most most boring things

2224
04:32:10.479 --> 04:32:17.680
you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly, but boring or not,

2225
04:32:19.280 --> 04:32:34.760
everything I said is true. Your legs are amazing. Your

2226
04:32:34.879 --> 04:32:45.680
legs deserve not just respect, because they deserve to relax.

2227
04:32:47.079 --> 04:32:47.479
Deeply.

2228
04:32:54.760 --> 04:32:58.079
They deserve to take some time out of the day

2229
04:33:00.319 --> 04:33:21.400
to just leer completely. The legs.

2230
04:33:26.520 --> 04:33:29.560
Really can relax.

2231
04:33:36.840 --> 04:33:41.840
Because the legs are so such a most very important

2232
04:33:42.599 --> 04:33:47.119
part of your body. When your relax your legs, the

2233
04:33:47.240 --> 04:33:52.400
rest of your body also naturally follows.

2234
04:33:53.759 --> 04:33:54.319
In that.

2235
04:33:58.040 --> 04:34:08.840
Journey of comfort. I can feel it in my hips.

2236
04:34:10.240 --> 04:34:16.840
My hips feel really loose, and also.

2237
04:34:16.680 --> 04:34:21.360
My lower back as well. My lower back really.

2238
04:34:21.840 --> 04:34:26.439
Feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting in

2239
04:34:26.560 --> 04:34:32.599
a chair and there's no stretching as far as I'm

2240
04:34:32.599 --> 04:34:36.119
aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the muscles

2241
04:34:36.119 --> 04:34:40.159
are just relaxed so much that there is a natural

2242
04:34:40.479 --> 04:34:43.759
stretch as a tension.

2243
04:34:44.279 --> 04:34:46.840
Has reduced.

2244
04:34:47.680 --> 04:34:48.279
A lot.

2245
04:35:04.520 --> 04:35:12.720
An thousand count down for ten thouns one you can

2246
04:35:12.840 --> 04:35:38.119
continue to fill wainderfully last ten nine eight seven, six,

2247
04:35:41.279 --> 04:35:59.080
five four three two one.

2248
04:36:05.159 --> 04:36:05.759
Relax.

2249
04:36:13.639 --> 04:36:17.479
So I'm just going to count down and fire down

2250
04:36:17.520 --> 04:36:21.959
to one. And as a countdown, if you just focus

2251
04:36:22.080 --> 04:36:30.000
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice

2252
04:36:30.880 --> 04:36:33.319
how you feel.

2253
04:36:35.599 --> 04:36:36.720
In this moment.

2254
04:36:38.200 --> 04:36:42.599
As you hear the numbers counting down, knowing that those

2255
04:36:42.759 --> 04:36:48.200
numbers counting down represent you.

2256
04:36:50.000 --> 04:36:59.880
Feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also relaxing

2257
04:37:00.080 --> 04:37:05.240
your mind. I just notice how you felt.

2258
04:37:05.840 --> 04:37:11.720
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing

2259
04:37:11.840 --> 04:37:28.279
to think about. Starting with number five, four.

2260
04:37:37.599 --> 04:37:48.840
Three two.

2261
04:37:54.639 --> 04:37:54.880
One.

2262
04:38:04.520 --> 04:38:13.560
As you notice the gradual letting go.

2263
04:38:15.919 --> 04:38:23.240
The tension in your body, it may also begin to

2264
04:38:23.520 --> 04:38:30.799
notice and be aware of how your mind is starting

2265
04:38:31.240 --> 04:38:39.200
to slow down. This is just a natural thing that happens.

2266
04:38:41.840 --> 04:38:47.040
It's not really a special procedure. It's just natural. Because

2267
04:38:47.119 --> 04:38:47.680
it's your.

2268
04:38:48.840 --> 04:38:54.840
Body relaxes, your mind also starts to relax, and the

2269
04:38:54.959 --> 04:38:58.560
more the mind relaxes, the more your body relaxes. It's

2270
04:38:58.720 --> 04:39:10.799
just a continuous circle of relaxation. And there's that calmness

2271
04:39:11.040 --> 04:39:12.319
that comes from.

2272
04:39:14.040 --> 04:39:15.240
Relative quietness.

2273
04:39:16.799 --> 04:39:21.720
You know, even even if there's background sounds, even your

2274
04:39:21.880 --> 04:39:23.159
side online.

2275
04:39:24.560 --> 04:39:28.400
Is still going to be quite calm.

2276
04:39:30.119 --> 04:39:32.720
You know, you haven't got the television on, there's no

2277
04:39:33.080 --> 04:39:37.279
music in the background, unless you're listening to the recorded

2278
04:39:37.319 --> 04:39:37.880
with music.

2279
04:39:38.000 --> 04:39:45.240
Of course, you're very likely not going to be sitting

2280
04:39:45.279 --> 04:39:45.959
in a room.

2281
04:39:45.799 --> 04:39:50.360
With other people. Of course you might be, but generally

2282
04:39:50.520 --> 04:39:52.479
it's more ideal.

2283
04:39:52.240 --> 04:39:53.840
If you can do this on your own.

2284
04:39:55.400 --> 04:40:05.479
So no distractions, and when you stop thinking about stuff,

2285
04:40:12.040 --> 04:40:22.319
relaxation automatically rises. The sense of comfort starts to grow,

2286
04:40:26.840 --> 04:40:33.479
and without trying to build it up into something fantastical,

2287
04:40:37.319 --> 04:40:48.040
something magical, this is just a natural process, something that's easy.

2288
04:40:50.040 --> 04:40:50.720
To accomplish.

2289
04:40:53.520 --> 04:41:00.880
In fact, it's almost the sense of relaxing completely happens

2290
04:41:01.040 --> 04:41:05.799
really when you put no effort into it. It's not

2291
04:41:06.000 --> 04:41:14.479
something that you can really force. It's something that happens naturally.

2292
04:41:17.439 --> 04:41:25.119
A part of the process of this recording and others.

2293
04:41:26.360 --> 04:41:27.919
Is simply.

2294
04:41:29.200 --> 04:41:38.279
Two allow you to take advantage of this space.

2295
04:41:40.560 --> 04:41:44.799
This time, to just.

2296
04:41:48.959 --> 04:41:56.520
Let go, to just be here, to be in tune

2297
04:42:00.200 --> 04:42:12.319
with how you feel, yet with the intention of wanting

2298
04:42:12.599 --> 04:42:24.680
to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep, depending

2299
04:42:24.959 --> 04:42:31.159
on what it is that you wish for yourself in

2300
04:42:31.279 --> 04:42:47.439
this moment. As we know, relaxing is the majority of

2301
04:42:47.560 --> 04:42:52.159
the process of falling asleep. The actual fall asleep part

2302
04:42:52.400 --> 04:43:00.639
is the tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed

2303
04:43:00.959 --> 04:43:06.799
you become, the easier.

2304
04:43:09.400 --> 04:43:10.279
You find.

2305
04:43:11.560 --> 04:43:27.599
Yourself drifting. You can also, if he choose, stay focused

2306
04:43:28.720 --> 04:43:41.919
on my voice and then really enjoy the process.

2307
04:43:45.560 --> 04:44:03.880
Corradually relaxing each muscle in your body.

2308
04:44:08.560 --> 04:44:24.279
Effortlessly and just observing the sensation.

2309
04:44:29.599 --> 04:44:44.319
I'm letting go completely this time.

2310
04:44:44.439 --> 04:44:47.799
I'm going to count from six down to one.

2311
04:44:52.959 --> 04:46:15.159
You can notice your mind calming down each say actually, come, Si, Paul, six, five, yes,

2312
04:48:15.680 --> 04:48:22.639
be awhere? How you quite to slow.

2313
04:48:24.560 --> 04:48:25.240
Right down?

2314
04:48:28.520 --> 04:48:51.319
Sinking deeply into relaxation. She focused on you.

2315
04:48:51.520 --> 04:48:52.439
Why did.

2316
04:48:55.799 --> 04:49:05.279
I notice that the sun thoughts still there. Maybe some

2317
04:49:05.560 --> 04:49:15.000
stubborn thoughts for some reason, perhaps need your attention.

2318
04:49:22.400 --> 04:49:23.400
You can do this.

2319
04:49:28.799 --> 04:49:30.759
Same love to those thoughts.

2320
04:49:34.080 --> 04:49:44.880
Sprinkle those stores good love, a petals for a flower,

2321
04:49:45.959 --> 04:49:53.799
just sprint ri petals feel good love towards those thoughts.

2322
04:49:54.400 --> 04:50:00.880
To let those storks you're not and then the number

2323
04:50:02.200 --> 04:50:03.680
you just need them.

2324
04:50:04.759 --> 04:50:06.159
To require.

2325
04:50:08.599 --> 04:50:28.720
To just calm down, slow down, quiet down now so

2326
04:50:29.000 --> 04:50:34.400
she fright us on those remaining thoughts. And to countdown

2327
04:50:34.560 --> 04:50:42.959
this time from seven down to one each number. Just

2328
04:50:43.040 --> 04:50:55.439
imagine sprinkling those flower petals of love, coindness, gratitude.

2329
04:50:58.560 --> 04:51:00.159
I heard those thoughts.

2330
04:51:05.159 --> 04:51:15.799
To about them, just not away, relaxed deeply. If a

2331
