00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:09.919
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name's Jason

2
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:15.199
new Land. This is let me boy you to sleep.

3
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.600
Oh please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

4
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.719
I thought today, today, today, today, which is Sunday, the

5
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:40.920
twenty fifth of May, twenty twenty five, I'd go through

6
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.399
some of I'd kind of do a little bit of

7
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.520
work on my website whilst talking to you, give you

8
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:56.159
a little bit of an insight into how the website

9
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:05.799
building stuff works. So I use I'm trying to think

10
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:13.200
if anything's happened before. Was it raining this morning but rainy?

11
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:20.879
Anything else happening? Is not a lot? Not much happened, really.

12
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.599
I didn't do a recording yesterday, but I did work

13
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.640
on my website. That's kind of the reason why I

14
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:32.920
wanted to sort of do this, just so you get

15
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:42.480
an idea. The it takes time. It takes it does,

16
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:49.400
takes a bit of time to go through the process. Now,

17
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:55.159
it's not just I hope you are by the way,

18
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.280
It's not just I feel like I'm just talking at

19
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:08.240
you instead of with you. Or little birdies singing joyfully,

20
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.639
we say that, don't Oh they're so so happy singing

21
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.479
you see little birds in their nest, the little the

22
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.280
little pups or chicks or whatever. They are singing happily,

23
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.680
joyfully in springtime. The reality they might be screaming, I'm starving,

24
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.199
Get me some food. I need, I need changing, I need,

25
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.360
I need my nappy changing. You know, they might be

26
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.800
worse than Vinnie. I mean, he can't go more than

27
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.159
ten seconds without seeing me. Yeah, he pretends he doesn't

28
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:56.000
even like me. You just shout out, I'm not pretending.

29
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.159
So let's have a look. I had a weird dream

30
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:11.439
last night. Weird dream. I talked through it. Yeah, maybe

31
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:18.479
I'm still asleep. So I'm in this place that looks

32
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:25.080
familiar to me, and I'm telling everybody it looks familiar.

33
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.520
I've been here before. I might not have said before

34
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.039
like that. I might just said before, but in my

35
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.159
memory was before. I've been here before. That's my accent

36
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.120
I had back then. But it was kind of me

37
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.800
now talking about how i'd been there when it could

38
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.960
have been when I was two or three or four.

39
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.039
So I don't remember, but I just remember the place,

40
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:01.719
and I'm asking everyone, were you here in nineteen seventy three?

41
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.639
Was you about then? I was going around places with shops.

42
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.960
I said, you was Was you there? And people were

43
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.840
saying I wasn't, but my granddad was. I said, we'll

44
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.759
go and get him. Then he said, have you got

45
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.560
a shovel? I said why? And then I realized that

46
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.839
he was being funny and actually wasn't very funny. And

47
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.279
I'm a bit rude really, and so like I'm not

48
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:34.120
digging him up. I mean this rude. Anyway, I did

49
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.639
have a shovel, but he kind of the joke was

50
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:46.160
on him. Really anyway, nobody knew. I said, has anyone

51
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.560
got any pictures? You got any pictures of this place?

52
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.079
When you know, nineteen seventy three, nineteen seventy four, maybe

53
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.319
nineteen seventy two, maybe nineteen seventy five, I don't know,

54
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:03.040
just around that time, and I go into this kabbad place.

55
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.879
I think it's like a kabad place or they sold

56
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.800
they sold food. I must have been thinking about food.

57
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.439
Maybe I was hungry in my sleep. Cakes or food,

58
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.759
some kind of food, not food as in stuff you

59
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.560
get from groceries that you have to like mix together

60
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.000
and cook, and I mean stuff you just put in

61
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:32.079
your mouth and chewing like m that kind of food. Cakes,

62
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:40.240
sausage rolls, bits of pizza. Why is my question This

63
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.600
is not really related, but why in some countries do

64
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.120
they call pizza pie. How on earth did that come about?

65
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.399
Little pie? Allow a bit of pie. No, a pie

66
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.519
is pastry with a filling. Doesn't have to be savory,

67
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.079
doesn't have to be meat. It can be vegetables, vegetables.

68
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.839
I like to feed the vegetables to my talltise. It

69
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.879
doesn't have to be It can be fruit. It can

70
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.399
be apple. I know, apple is a fruit. You know.

71
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:23.120
A pie is pastry underneath and pastry on top, and

72
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.360
inside is a feeling of some kind. It doesn't really

73
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.639
matter what it is. It can't be a pie unless

74
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.000
it's mind you, some people class it as a pie

75
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.439
if it's just got a covering on a pastry. No,

76
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.480
it has to have the bottom pastry as well, because

77
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.839
technically you should be able to eat it whole, you know,

78
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.360
just have the pie in your hand. Unless it's a

79
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.319
really big pie then maybe. I mean, I guess in

80
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.079
the past people would just eat a bit and then

81
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.000
just share it around and everyone to have a little

82
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.879
Maybe they have their own little hole that they'd suck on.

83
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.240
I don't know. It sounds weird, but you know, that

84
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:19.639
depends how big the holes were. And I suppose technically,

85
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.519
maybe on a like a construction site or something, the

86
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:35.040
people in the canteen because they couldn't necessarily get to

87
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.839
the construction people, so they maybe just have a wall

88
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.240
and they'd put they'd like em put parts of the

89
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.319
pie through the wall, have a little hole that they

90
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.720
put the parts of the pie through the hole, and

91
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.800
then they could just put they could just feed, feed

92
00:07:52.839 --> 00:08:03.800
the workmen and women and people people work, work people.

93
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.319
It's really weird because I've been I've been technically raised,

94
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.360
but I've been brought up to just say the word workman, postman, milkman,

95
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.079
you know, just it's not about men. It's just it's

96
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.160
just the term. And that's what I grew up learning

97
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:32.639
those terms. And when I was a kid, I never

98
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.600
saw a female delivering post I never saw a female

99
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.240
delivering milk, never saw a female on a building site,

100
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.639
never see a four female welder, never saw a female

101
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:49.600
in fixing cars. And it was just the way society

102
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.679
was back then. I'm not saying that there wasn't any

103
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.159
There probably was one or two in the world, but

104
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.919
it's not it's not being rude or dismissive by using

105
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.559
that term, although some people might think it is and

106
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.399
I would. Yeah, it's just it's very difficult. I feel

107
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:17.639
sorry a little bit for people to care about stuff

108
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.799
like that because I kind of don't. And I know

109
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.720
that I'm not out to, you know, upset people. Generally,

110
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:33.679
it's got to be very hard for especially like politicians

111
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:41.879
and celebrities. Two constantly have to watch what they say

112
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.840
in order to they don't get canceled because I said

113
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.919
the wrong thing or they've used the wrong pronoun And

114
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.679
I couldn't give two hoots about pronouns. I don't care.

115
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.399
I call Vinny a girl constantly, very confuses a lot

116
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:03.240
of the other dog walkers. I said, come on, girl,

117
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:10.639
good girl. And but I remember once said, but he's

118
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:16.279
a boy. Yeah, you called him girl, like I didn't

119
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.480
know i'd called him a girl. Yeah, I do know

120
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.639
what I say. I'm aware of the words I'm using.

121
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.159
I'm not always I'm not always pleased for the words

122
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.879
I use, and I'm often surprised, but I'm aware of

123
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.320
the words that are coming out of my mouth. I'm

124
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.320
just not always aware of what's going to come out

125
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:42.840
of my mouth WordWise is but often I am. And

126
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.399
if I say, come on, it's good girl, it's because

127
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.679
I'm just calling him a girl because it's fun for me.

128
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.000
So misgendering is something that I have a lot of

129
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.240
a lot of deep seated pleasure being involved. And I've

130
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.679
been doing it with humans for a long time, you know,

131
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.759
going back since I was a kid calling the boy

132
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.919
a girl and she and calling a girl he and

133
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.639
calling a calling a teacher the male teacher missus or

134
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:21.399
miss and a female teacher. I enjoyed doing stuff like

135
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:26.720
that because it amused me past the time. But now

136
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.600
it's it's a little bit more serious. So I don't.

137
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.679
I don't. I wouldn't purposely out I used to be

138
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.240
able to upset. I didn't. I wasn't I was able

139
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:44.200
to upset people. I just I like making people laugh

140
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.639
because what I've do this hasn't got a lot to

141
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.480
do with the original subject that I was talking about,

142
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:57.399
which was what building my website ended up talking about.

143
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:05.919
Building site was some glorious ways of passing the food

144
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:12.919
to the construction workers. Very glorious it was. And the

145
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.080
weird might I call it glorious because actually both of

146
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.559
the ladies, and there were ladies for some reason, but

147
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.360
the canteen stuff they were ladies. I'm sure you know.

148
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.799
In the seventies and eighties there was also lots of

149
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:34.639
male canteen stuff and dinner men. I'm sure there's lots

150
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:41.840
of them. There wasn't. So it was they were both

151
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:48.240
called Gloria that were passing this food through these holes

152
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:55.519
to the to the to the work people, construction workers.

153
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.840
And it's weird because I've worked with a Gloria in

154
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:03.679
a canteen and also Gloria worked a different Gloria. I

155
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.480
worked in a canteen that I it was Glory, and

156
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.360
Brenda that worked in his canteen that I used to

157
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.799
eat in as well. It's really weird. But yeah, today

158
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:20.480
Gloria and they just they just like right Glory, right Glory.

159
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:23.159
I don't know why. Sure, Gloria is not a long name,

160
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:27.799
is it Gloria? So why it's Jason? It's not long

161
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.960
but Jay right Jay? Around here, no one knows me

162
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.559
it's Jason.

163
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.600
Jay.

164
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.799
I phoned someone up, literally, someone that phoned me up.

165
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.399
I phoned them back five minutes later to see what

166
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.919
they want because I don't know answer my phone and Hello,

167
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:49.879
I said, yeah, Hi, it's Jason. Who Jason?

168
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:51.360
Uh huh?

169
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.639
Mum, do you know anyone called Jason? No? Dad?

170
00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.399
Do you know they're all called Jason.

171
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:05.679
No, Bob, you don't know called Jason No. And you

172
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.200
hear them go out the front, out of the door

173
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:12.879
shout to the neighbor. You don't call Jason, And I said,

174
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:21.399
Jason Vinnie's dad, Oh Jay, And then he said, Mum,

175
00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.039
it's j.

176
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.600
Oh Jay.

177
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:30.120
Dad, it's j Oh Jay. Why didn't he say Jay? Then, Bob,

178
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.720
it's j Who's Jay? I don't know. Why are you

179
00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.200
telling me? Well, I just thought you might be interested

180
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.919
in in hearing about it. So I'm just a plumb

181
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.840
I'm trying to fix your toilet. Okay, I haven't got

182
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:49.399
you rude. Okay, you're gonna go and tell your neighbor. Now,

183
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:53.720
I can't bothered. But you're being rude there, aren't you? Now?

184
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.159
If you're not gonna tell you, your neighbor might be worried,

185
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.000
just concerned, like, you know, talking to their family. Who's Jason?

186
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.679
And it's this Jason? Why did he let them know

187
00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:09.960
it's Jay? It's so it's just like it's not a

188
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:16.799
hard name to remember. Jason among the most important names

189
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:23.840
on the planet, arguably. We've got a neighbor it's called Jason.

190
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.360
I didn't know he was a dog walker, but he

191
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.840
doesn't go by that name. He uses his middle name.

192
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:38.759
And I said to him why because another neighbor told me.

193
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.799
She said, I know someone called Jason. I said, do you.

194
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:45.159
I said yes. I said, I thought she's going to

195
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.200
say you, and we'd both roll around and she said, no,

196
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.240
him next door. I said, that's not his name. She

197
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.840
said it is. He says not. He told me his

198
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.679
name was whatever it is. She said, no, that's his

199
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.720
mid name. His real name is Jason. His proper name

200
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.480
is Jason. I said, well, why doesn't he use it?

201
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.279
He said, I don't know, but don't mention it. He's

202
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:13.679
a bit touchy about it. So the next day I

203
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:17.639
see him in the park and for some reason, the

204
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.600
first thing I say, is you right, Jason? I don't

205
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.279
know just now to me if his name, for example,

206
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:45.240
was I don't know, if his first name was whatever,

207
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.559
a name that he didn't like. I was gonna say,

208
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:50.080
did he but like a name that he didn't like?

209
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:57.720
That that was obviously, you know, quite an unpleasant name

210
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.600
or I don't know or named it. I have, you know,

211
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:08.079
any other name, I could kind of go along with it,

212
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:17.680
But that's my name, and it's nothing unpleasant about my name.

213
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.279
It's quite a cool it's quite a cool name. Actually,

214
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:27.000
it means healer in Greek mythology, healer or healing hands.

215
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:37.279
That healing hands description does not work in court, by

216
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:41.440
the way, but my name is healing hands. I was

217
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:46.279
just testing, No, doesn't work, but healer. I'm a healer

218
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.599
with my tongue. I used to use that as a

219
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.880
chat up line, so I stop. When I was younger, Yes,

220
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.319
I'm a healer. I have here. I used to us

221
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.480
did when I found out in my twenties, and I'd

222
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.359
say to when I was talking to ladies, you know,

223
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:11.720
when I had still had testosterone inside the like, yeah,

224
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:19.079
my na's Jason, healer, healing hands. And I'd rub my

225
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.839
hands together and they would walk away. So it wasn't

226
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:28.759
a very good chatup line really, to be fair, I

227
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.559
think that probably one of the best chatter of lines

228
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.799
I had, or beginner beginning. I don't like the term

229
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.079
chap line. It sounds a bit dodgy, really, but the

230
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.119
a beginner to a conversation or beginner to a to

231
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.960
a kind of interaction used to be my tattoo on

232
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.759
my forearm. So I'd be in a nightclub or being

233
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.279
a comedy club and the amount of women that would

234
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.240
come up to me and say, what's what's that? And

235
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:07.200
I'd be hilarious, and so it's an arm and that

236
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.720
of course I would walk away. But then I realized

237
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.720
that that's not working, is it? After about ten years

238
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.319
are doing that, I thought it's time to start learning.

239
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.880
So I thought, okay, I'll do something different, and I'd say,

240
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.400
what's that? It's a tattoo in it. So that was

241
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.200
another wasted ten years. And then when I got to

242
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:35.160
my forties, I thought, like I realized they didn't really

243
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:38.240
want me to say it's an arm or it's a tattoo,

244
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:43.240
because that just made me look a bit just for

245
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:52.839
some reason. It wasn't It wasn't creating the desired effect.

246
00:19:53.559 --> 00:20:07.359
There was not. There was no emotional attraction being kind

247
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:15.759
of created or molded by saying that. You know, I mean,

248
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.799
I once said, someone come to me after a gig,

249
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.400
knocked on the door, not not where I lived, but

250
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.839
they had this like changed it was like a co

251
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:25.400
It was a room I'm above the above the place,

252
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.160
and I was in there with the other comedians, hoping

253
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:33.480
that the one day accept me at least acknowledge my existence.

254
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.640
And the knocked a door, and one of the other

255
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:42.799
comics opened the door, and because he had seniority, and

256
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.480
he came and said, boy, as someone out there wanted

257
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.119
to speak to you. I thought, have I upset now?

258
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:59.759
And it was a woman and she said, she said,

259
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:06.960
I said, I don't know, I liked I liked your performance. Okay.

260
00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.319
I didn't know what to say because I don't think

261
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.400
they've ever heard anyone say that to me before. He said,

262
00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:15.359
can I buy you a drink? I said no, sorry,

263
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:22.200
I got one. So and I think for the next

264
00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:25.599
five years I cried every night over that, Just like

265
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:29.440
why she went out of a way. Not only did

266
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.279
she she had to go upstairs, she would have had

267
00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:42.519
to ask where the room was, go upstairs and ask

268
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:44.960
for me and go through that knocking on the door.

269
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.319
That was quite a It could have been the degree

270
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.160
of bravery involved in doing that, you know. So maybe

271
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.279
she liked me. Maybe she could have been the wifer

272
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.599
I never wanted, you know, it could have been like

273
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.680
a fairy how I could have got married and had

274
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:11.799
lots of kids and so, yeah, I don't know, but

275
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:13.480
I just can't. Like I said, no, I've got because

276
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:15.799
I was just being honest. I had a drink. I

277
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:17.759
didn't drink back then. I just just have a drink

278
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.640
of coke? How was it? And so I got a

279
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:27.920
drink thanks, And she just turned away. I'm pretty sure

280
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.240
she did. Are you sure? I said, yeah, can't you

281
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:40.640
see let's see in the end, and I did. It's like, yeah,

282
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:43.759
the thing is, the door was open. And when I

283
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:47.799
turn around to go back into the room with the

284
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.319
other comics, they were just looking at me like really

285
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:59.519
in astonishment for the first time, in some kind of

286
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:04.839
amazing in wonder, like what what is wrong with you?

287
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.079
I mean I always got that look from the other

288
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:10.240
comedians anyway, what's wrong with you? But more generally because

289
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.920
of my act and other times because of my personality,

290
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:21.519
But this one was because of almost the stupidity of

291
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:27.599
the situation, because there was no harm in letting somebody

292
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:34.160
buy me a drink. The first person ever in an

293
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:38.319
audience member at that point ever offered to buy me

294
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.599
a drink. It happened once one other time later on

295
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:47.240
the Hackney Empire, and that turned to a little adventure,

296
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.359
so that was good. But other than that, I didn't

297
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:54.839
have a lot of a lot of success really during

298
00:23:54.880 --> 00:24:04.400
that time. And the two the two glory, well they

299
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.119
called glories, but the two that the workers on the

300
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:13.160
building site, they decided to give the whole a name,

301
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.799
but they didn't know what to call it, and they

302
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.759
all kind of come up and say, let's call it

303
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.799
the Glorious the Glory's whole, because the Gloria's whole that

304
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.680
both the ladies behind him were called Gloria. So yeah.

305
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:34.200
Then someone shouted, why don't you just shorten it? Shorten it?

306
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:39.519
And I said to this bloke, I said, in the park,

307
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.720
so your name's Jason, Why why? I said, that's my name,

308
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.960
by the way, I said, why did why don't you

309
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:50.640
use it? And he just he told me why. I said, okay,

310
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:54.039
so don't answer to it. I said, we just did that,

311
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:59.599
didn't you. He said no, I didn't to be fae didn't,

312
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.039
but he did look over. But then you know a

313
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.319
lot of people look over when I'm not wearing any trousers,

314
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:13.759
so it's it's kind of it's easier not to call

315
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:15.759
him that. Well, I don't call hill by their names

316
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.359
anyway generally, but it's easier if I don't. I never

317
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.200
knew it was his name, so I kind of knew

318
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:24.000
what his name was from the other lady because she's

319
00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:26.920
his neighbor and she she adores him. He looks after

320
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:35.599
her because she's quite elderly. So there's a problem with

321
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:41.039
that though. Okay, I was visiting my step granddad in hospital,

322
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:46.279
which is my step mom second step mom's father, when

323
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:50.920
he was alive, and so I was visiting him in hospital.

324
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:56.799
He had a I can't remember what was going on

325
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:03.920
at that time, so over there and there's no one

326
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:10.720
with that name. So okay, there's no one with that

327
00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:16.400
that name. No, but he's here. He's literally she starts

328
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:19.440
looking under the desk. I don't know, he's not here here,

329
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.240
but he's in this building. She said, that person is

330
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:27.000
not in this building. I said they are. He said

331
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:31.920
they're not. I said she is. She said what I

332
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:37.200
said she is here for? He said it was a man. Yeah,

333
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.160
Harry could be a man, could be a woman. Well,

334
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.279
is it Harriet thing? Because I'll check on that one.

335
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:48.559
I said okay. So checked on Harriet and she said, oh,

336
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.759
there is a Harriet. She said that to start with

337
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:55.559
is Harriet. In fact, their family is just over there.

338
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:58.279
You want me to call them over. I said, no, no, no, no,

339
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:02.200
it's okay, it's not Harriot. She said, why did you

340
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:03.680
say it was? Then? I said, I didn't know it

341
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.039
was going to go this far. Why are you missing?

342
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:09.960
Why you wasting my time? I've got a big queue, Hair,

343
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.279
I said, there's not six people. It's not a big queue,

344
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:17.680
is it. She said, it's a fairly large queue. I said,

345
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:20.119
it's six people. She said, but if you look at

346
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:23.400
how much distancer is really for people to queue, there's

347
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:25.519
not a lot. You couldn't get more than about another

348
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:27.759
three people on the end of the queue before they'd

349
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.279
have to start standing like next to each other, and

350
00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:39.440
that would be chaos. I said, I don't know about chaos.

351
00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:44.839
It's not really chaos, is it. Trying to light a

352
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.839
cigarette and a hurricane that's chaotic. That's a different that's

353
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.960
that's you know, we're trying to light a candle in

354
00:27:54.039 --> 00:28:00.400
a room full of people that have far that I

355
00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:05.880
don't know, a room full of farts. What did my

356
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:11.000
dog in a pad. That not no. So I went

357
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:16.079
to see my grandad by step granderd. His name wasn't

358
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.000
on the register. This is a true story. His name

359
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.039
was not there. So I phone my step brother. I say, listen,

360
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.000
what's going on. I'm asking for him. He's not here.

361
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.519
And all the family were meeting up there because he

362
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.400
was for real and we were meeting there, and he said, no,

363
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:39.720
he is, it's not here. The the man beyond a receptionist,

364
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.079
he just said that she's not that he's not here,

365
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:46.039
and the wouldn't behind a receptionist gave me a funny look.

366
00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:49.799
So I was just I couldn't help myself. And this

367
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:52.400
is before it was illegal. Okay, just let you know

368
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.039
that is before it was There was a deadly scene

369
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.039
and you know, it was just it was like a

370
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:08.519
to do but it wasn't. It wasn't morally wrong to

371
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.799
do it. Back then. It was just a bit dumb.

372
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.720
So I wasn't being you know, you know now, I

373
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:24.599
wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare apart from m Vinnie, I'll

374
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.359
call him a girl all the time. I never thought

375
00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.039
that something. I mean, I started the whole trend of

376
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:34.960
calling people misgendering. It was just like a joke missing around.

377
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:38.480
You know. It was never supposed to be taken seriously,

378
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:40.680
and it was definitely not supposed to be used to

379
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.799
upset people. You know, some people take it, take it,

380
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:50.960
they'd like use the tool that in the wrong way.

381
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.000
It was just supposed to be light jabbering or light

382
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.960
light ribbing, light poking. You know, I get a little tender, tender,

383
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:05.880
little tickle with a feather. You know. It wasn't supposed

384
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:11.680
to be about upsetting people. It was about just joeviality.

385
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.720
Or I mean when I lived in a place where

386
00:30:16.759 --> 00:30:21.039
I lived when I was at college, and I was

387
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:24.559
talking to this the landlady, and I said, I wanted

388
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:26.480
to get away. It was a conversation was going on

389
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:28.240
too long, so I said, oh, I just got to

390
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.200
pop to the little girl's room. I turned around, and

391
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:36.319
she says, don't you mean the little boy's room? Said

392
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:40.519
what you said the little girl's room? Don't you mean that?

393
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.680
She didn't I just didn't talk like that. Didn't you

394
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:49.160
mean the little boy's room. I'm confused sparks for shooting

395
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.799
out of her ears. I said, no, no, I meant

396
00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:56.160
to say it but why why would you say something

397
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:02.559
like that? Why not? How am I going to accidentally

398
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:07.519
say I'm going to the little girls room? How how

399
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:13.240
how do you mind you someone saying, how do I

400
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:17.039
accidentally walk out with underpants on my head when I

401
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.400
go shopping? So you know, there's our accidents. But yeah,

402
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:31.920
we all have accidents sometimes, ask my bed. So I anyway, Oh,

403
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.960
either a little motorbike kid over there, he's got his

404
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.920
motorbike going, and if he does that, it means he's

405
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:45.839
probably going to have it going all afternoon and he

406
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:49.160
starts to play with it's a little motorbike. Fiddler likes

407
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.400
to play around with it. And I don't know. Or

408
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:59.480
it might be a lawnmower, which will be Oh no,

409
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:03.240
don't tell me. Lawn mower man's back. He's come back

410
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.279
to mow the lawns. He's going to be back for

411
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:09.720
like all day, just mowing one one little bit of grass.

412
00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:15.200
Then there will be out painting people's window sills. I'm

413
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:22.880
painting the world a little world here for you. So

414
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:29.640
this this this man in the park like Jason. I said, well,

415
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:32.119
why don't you call yourself Jason? It's the best name

416
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:39.880
in the world. And he said it's not. I said, okay,

417
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:44.559
why you know? I said why? He said, oh, I

418
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:47.200
can't remember what you said something serious. So I forgot.

419
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:50.559
I wasn't listening. I asked a question, But you ever

420
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:52.240
do that. You asked the question, but then you just

421
00:32:53.839 --> 00:33:00.160
you don't listen. You're just going internally nah blah ah

422
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:03.519
nah na na, like your your fingers in your ears. Man,

423
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.480
at least you hope it's internally. I asked some of

424
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:12.400
questions once I was a policeman and I said, excuse me, madam,

425
00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:16.200
can you tell me where the Tower London is? I

426
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.319
was trying to find and he said, call him, call

427
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:21.720
him madam again, and you'll be living in the Tower London.

428
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:27.160
We actually actually had cuddle each other to stop from

429
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:32.200
falling over. It was a very funny moment. And it's

430
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.319
then that I realized that I had a thing for

431
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:45.599
the uniformed men dressed as little police people. Oh no,

432
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:51.920
that didn't happen, and so I I did ask. I

433
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:56.640
think it was a bus driver got on, asked the

434
00:33:56.720 --> 00:34:03.039
bus driver where does this bus go to where I

435
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:06.039
was going? He said no. I said, cood turn which

436
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:11.679
bus it is? And as you started to talk I

437
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:14.000
was going in my head just for some reason, blah

438
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.920
blah blah blah lah. No, like for some reason I

439
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.320
thought it was in my head. I actually looked up.

440
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:23.599
I could saw in the mirror my fingers in my

441
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:30.679
ears and loudly shouting yeah, yeah, yeah, which was weird

442
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.320
because I didn't realize I was doing it, And I

443
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.760
started to think, started to wonder what other things am

444
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:41.760
I doing out loud that I thought I was doing internally?

445
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:48.800
And then I started thinking, how do people perceive me?

446
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:56.119
People around where I live? Am I perceived in a

447
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:02.119
what kind of way am I perceived? How in touch

448
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.960
with reality? Am I? Actually? Did my friend downstairs ever

449
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.760
really exist? Or did I make him up? And everyone's

450
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:15.639
just going along with the story, Like I don't know.

451
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:22.719
It's weird. Sometimes I can't think, am I how much

452
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:25.119
of this is real? And the reason I think about

453
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:27.440
that sometimes I know it kind of is. But the

454
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.239
reason I think about it is because when I was

455
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:33.760
a kid, I didn't know the difference between real and

456
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:38.440
not real. Like when I was very young, I didn't know.

457
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:42.360
I genuinely did not know. I used to see things,

458
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:47.159
I used to hear things, and I didn't know the

459
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:54.239
difference between the reality and non reality. When I was

460
00:35:54.559 --> 00:36:03.280
quite young, and I I thought that was I kind

461
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:05.880
of knew it wasn't normal, but I thought it was normal.

462
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:11.800
But I just, you know, at the same time, I

463
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:16.320
operated bet when I was on my own, you know,

464
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.159
in a crowd as well, sometimes because I could just

465
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.800
like melt into the background and I had to study,

466
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.719
had to study how people were so that I could

467
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:31.119
act like them. But the problem with that is a

468
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:35.360
lot of the behavior I saw I didn't like, especially

469
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:39.920
at school. You know, I liked the chilled out people,

470
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:44.880
the calm people, and the funny people, but I didn't

471
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:51.880
like the bragger, the regards, the always showing off. I

472
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.800
got this, I've got that, I've got the best this,

473
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:56.679
I got the best that, and I'm brilliant at this.

474
00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.519
That I used to though, I don't want to be

475
00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:03.159
like that, But they seem to be the popular ones

476
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:08.840
quite often and the most the successful ones, and I

477
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:16.480
didn't want to be like that. But in another way, again,

478
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:18.840
when I was at school, I had in the first

479
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.039
year of school, it was kind of strange because I

480
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.360
was I was put into the middle part of everything.

481
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.719
I think in junior school did the was it eleven

482
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:34.320
plus exam or whatever test? They didn't know what to

483
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:38.880
do with me. I think they must have thought, well,

484
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:45.800
we're not really sure what he is because I was

485
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:53.159
very behind in pretty much everything it was. This is true.

486
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:56.320
I don't know why I'm telling this. Remember my first

487
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.000
step mom said that their teachers and everything they said

488
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.199
it was partly because I've moved around so much as

489
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:08.239
a little kid that I hadn't had like proper schooling,

490
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.280
like I had not been in the same place, hadn't

491
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:16.760
had the proper foundations of school that most kids have

492
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.280
had by the age of seven. I know seven is

493
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:24.280
still young, but then when I was eight, I was

494
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:31.000
told that my educational was my lack of knowledge or

495
00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.199
my lack of education or whatever you want to call

496
00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:39.480
it was also due to having been partially deaf in

497
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:43.079
one ear, and I discovered that when I was eight,

498
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:48.360
So it wasn't really until I got to nine. I

499
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:52.320
was kind of working on I'm going to say all cylinders,

500
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.599
I'm going to be very generous for that one. But

501
00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:57.280
you know, my ears were working. I was. I had

502
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:01.800
stability in one school for leads two years my last

503
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:07.679
junior school, so nine and ten made friends, you know,

504
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:13.920
and kind of and they didn't know what to do

505
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:21.960
with me as far as you know, what what classroom

506
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.320
to put me in. But they didn't put me in

507
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:28.320
the lowest one, which I was surprised that. I was

508
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:33.119
pleased because it was they had it by a name.

509
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:40.880
Every year they'd have a name by Mia. I don't

510
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:48.400
know if it was it was I don't know if

511
00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:50.639
it's every year, was the saying, but mine was osprey

512
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:56.239
so O s P R e y so O was

513
00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:05.239
a top why was the bomb S was near the

514
00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:16.159
top so s P r O s O s P

515
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:26.000
and then R E Y I was R. So I

516
00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:29.840
was sort of you could possibly, I suppose bang in

517
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.800
the middle. I guess. I think P and R were

518
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:38.800
kind of similar. But I was closer to the bottom.

519
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:42.239
But I wasn't the bottom. I wasn't why although I

520
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:45.960
had a lot of friends that were so in the

521
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:48.840
first year of high school, I was in the middle,

522
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:52.679
and that's when they I was. It's weird because I

523
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.159
was in the middle with people that ended up being

524
00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.440
in the top classes as well. That they the ones

525
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.039
I got on with, the intellectual, ones that really really clever,

526
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:09.719
ones that were way cleverer than me. But I just

527
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:14.920
love spending time with them because we had I could

528
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.239
hold a conversation with them. I did not have their knowledge,

529
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:23.000
I did not have their academic abilities, but I could

530
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.480
communicate with them on a more serious It was almost

531
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:33.199
like a more of an adult conversation. And I liked

532
00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:38.880
it because they were respectful and they were seeing a

533
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:44.360
bit more advanced, not socially, because they were a bit

534
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:48.639
kind of it was a bit like me, very you know.

535
00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:55.719
They were book readers and played musical instruments and they

536
00:41:55.719 --> 00:41:59.039
weren't necessarily into sports or anything like that. Kind of

537
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.599
a cliche, I know, but I liked them. There was

538
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:06.440
two two together. In fact, there was there was four

539
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.000
of us in high in the first year of high school,

540
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.400
me tall bloke. I can't remember his name because after

541
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:20.199
the first year hardly saw them again. I'd still see

542
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:23.400
them saylo, but you know, and that fizzled out to

543
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.119
almost probably not even saying load to them near the

544
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:28.679
end of the period. But for the first year I

545
00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:34.800
were quite close to them. And because my best friend

546
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:38.519
Dean was never in his class, I think I was

547
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:41.840
in his class for a couple of lessons, but I

548
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:44.599
was never in his form room. So I was in

549
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.320
these two four room because we were in the English room.

550
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.400
That was our form room, which was a place that

551
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.920
we went to at the beginning of the day, and

552
00:42:54.920 --> 00:42:59.880
then I think at the beginning before just after lunchtime,

553
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:03.679
and then back before we left for the day, and

554
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:08.880
my form room was I guess one R was the

555
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:13.199
name of the thing. One R for roomal or for

556
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:23.719
os A ray. But it's behind those two rooms that

557
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:30.360
were behind the library. So you could get into the

558
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:34.639
library through the back, which is quite cool. You couldn't

559
00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:36.880
really walk, not supposed to walk through there to get

560
00:43:36.920 --> 00:43:39.199
into the library meant to all the way around. But

561
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:41.400
because that was my form room, I could just go

562
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:44.599
go in and out of the library. And in the

563
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:47.760
library bit there was the bit where the teachers lived

564
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:50.960
the library, you know, the English teachers. They had about

565
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:54.800
their room. And yeah, I used to use the library

566
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.960
a lot. I used to read a lot of stuff

567
00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:05.199
from there. And I've talked about this before, but this

568
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:09.320
was such a big turning point in my academic or

569
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:18.599
my non academic life. Just needed a little bit of encouragement,

570
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:27.000
I think, because I don't know, I didn't have any

571
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.480
really much in a way of self belief when it

572
00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:33.800
came to I felt good about reading. I loved reading.

573
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.760
That was my favorite thing really in the world. I

574
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:42.280
wouldn't watching television. Reading was my favorite thing when I

575
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:47.159
was a kid. Loved reading, I liked playing, I liked

576
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:49.000
doing stuff, you know, like a lot of other kids

577
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:53.639
liked doing. But I had no interest in sports until

578
00:44:53.679 --> 00:45:00.239
I started doing karaate, and then I was just absolutely

579
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:05.960
fanatical about it. But before that, you know, I didn't really,

580
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:10.679
I wasn't interested in sports. I didn't class karate as sports.

581
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:18.760
For me. It was more more than that. But then, hmm,

582
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.039
so these three, these three kids, there was a tall

583
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.880
one and there was a shorter one. I'm sure one

584
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:35.119
of them had a Yeah, I'm sure one of them

585
00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:41.920
had a violin. Maybe there's only three of us, and

586
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.960
maybe he's the one that left, but I'm pretty sure

587
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:49.599
it was four of us. And one of them lived

588
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:54.079
around the corner. For me, literally round the corner. It

589
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.679
was a five minute walk. And his house was like

590
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:04.280
a music shop. The front window all you could see

591
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:08.280
was musical instruments, and both of his parents were musicians.

592
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:10.000
They lived in a big house.

593
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:11.440
And.

594
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:16.760
We so I was allowed in there. That was a

595
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:21.760
good thing because I wasn't always very popular with the

596
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:27.719
the parents for some reason. But we used to meet

597
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:31.119
up and go upstairs, right to the top of the stairs,

598
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:37.159
and my friend's room had a desk, and we had

599
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:43.360
a detective agency. And they let me join their detective agency.

600
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:51.760
And we had guns. I mean that not real guns.

601
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.320
They were pretend guns. Well there were guns, but they

602
00:46:54.360 --> 00:46:59.159
would pretend, you know, plastic or whatever. And we just

603
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:08.559
played detective and it was brilliant and it was probably

604
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:13.360
in some ways, my happiest little period, one of my happiest,

605
00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:19.440
happiest little periods as a kid, because I suddenly had

606
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.840
I've never had a group before, like a group of friends.

607
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:27.039
This is the first time. And not only that I

608
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.320
had a group. In the children's side, we were all

609
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.679
it was more like family. You sleep in a room

610
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:37.119
with twelve other kids. They're basically your brothers, you know.

611
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:40.440
I don't think they I'm not sure if the girls

612
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:44.000
slept death separate, I can't remember. But it's your family,

613
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.679
you know. If you live with someone, you live in

614
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:49.000
a sleep in the same room as them, you go.

615
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.000
You're with them all the time pretty much They're family, really,

616
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:55.320
aren't they at the end of it. So this is

617
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.239
the first time that I felt like I was part

618
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.679
of a little group, like a tiny all with detective

619
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:08.960
agency in the music house, and it was I just

620
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:16.480
remember that Christmas because there was this like a toy shop.

621
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.800
I can't remember the name of it now, not Girlings

622
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:26.880
it was. It was. It was one of those because

623
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:29.760
I lived in a little town and probably the same

624
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:33.800
as a lot of other little towns back then, maybe

625
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:37.599
now as well, I don't know, but there was one

626
00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:44.039
shop is where father Christmas would be one shop that

627
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:49.440
had the best toys, like it just had a bit

628
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:53.400
of a room, you know, a bit of space. But

629
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:55.639
that isn't where we used to buy our toys because

630
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:59.400
Walwas was the main place in the seventies and even

631
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:04.559
in the eighties, Wolworsts was the probably Boots as well

632
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:08.840
in W. H. Smith's those were the three shops. Test

633
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:12.280
gooes as well, but generally as far as a fit

634
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.039
problem with testoes, like just groceries as well, I couldn't

635
00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:19.639
be bothered to queue up and sometimes I buy stuff

636
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.400
and go to the counter, that cigarette counter and pay

637
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:26.559
for my stuff there. But I think W. H. Smith's

638
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:35.000
woolworfs or woolies. We used to call it woolies. And

639
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.119
Boots as well, because when when I was a kid, Boots,

640
00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:41.239
which is used to be we used to call them

641
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:47.440
chemists back then. Now they're called pharmacies pharmacies, but they

642
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.960
we used to call them chemists. And they actually have

643
00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:56.440
the word chemist on the you know, on their their display.

644
00:49:57.159 --> 00:50:00.440
So I had to check that out. I thought, am,

645
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:07.960
I am, I'm imagining things wrongly. Yeah, it was chemists.

646
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:11.639
And because it was a little town, everything was very

647
00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:16.400
close to each other, and Boots used to sell although

648
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:19.320
it was a chemist and it had a you know,

649
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.880
pharmacy part where you could get your chemist part where

650
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.119
you could get your medication and all that stuff. They

651
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:29.639
also had other stuff like they'd have a record had

652
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:34.599
a record section. I remember that because that's where I

653
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:39.920
sed buy my records from, and because it used to

654
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:45.880
be right opposite a chip shop. And I got Stevie

655
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:53.920
Wonders Characters from over there about nineteen eighty seven that

656
00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.519
the album Characters was on tape, but it was yeah,

657
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:03.119
I remember that. The thing is what is weird? Okay?

658
00:51:03.239 --> 00:51:07.760
So you have her these memories and I have this

659
00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:19.719
memory of w WDDDDD. What's his name? Bross, Bross Bross. Okay,

660
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:31.800
so my memory is I saw Bross when they released

661
00:51:32.800 --> 00:51:40.000
their album twenty eighth of March nineteen eighty eight. Okay,

662
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:51.199
so I remember buying the album, walking past the chip

663
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:56.760
shop and showing that album to the people in chip shop.

664
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:06.960
I also left that chip shop around that time as well.

665
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:10.440
That was released on the twenty eighth of March nineteen

666
00:52:10.519 --> 00:52:13.760
eighty eight. The chances of me actually buying it on

667
00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:20.360
that exact date is quite rare, unlikely, to be fair.

668
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:33.960
But it's called push Push. Yeah, I loved Bross. So

669
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:37.840
it's like one of those memories that doesn't really fit

670
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:42.559
together because there's no way I'd be walking in there

671
00:52:42.679 --> 00:52:44.960
after leaving because it was a bit of a sour

672
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:53.440
moment when me and my former boss departed ways. It's yeah,

673
00:52:53.840 --> 00:53:02.519
it wasn't a good it wasn't a nice breakup. So

674
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:04.440
it was very unlikely that old had just walked in

675
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:14.000
there afterwards and shown that I'd got an album. Strange, strange,

676
00:53:14.719 --> 00:53:19.960
You never know though, with me, who knows. So my

677
00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:23.480
step my step brother says he is in the hospital,

678
00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:26.280
he's there I said, well, he's not because I've just

679
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:31.880
spoken to and the lady's looking at me from behind

680
00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:34.599
the counter in the hospital. I've spoken to the lovely

681
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:42.639
person behind the counter in the reception, and I've been told,

682
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.880
making sure I didn't say he, she them, or anything.

683
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:52.480
Are being told that granddad is not Granddad Harry is

684
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:57.440
not there because his name is Harry. And he said,

685
00:53:57.719 --> 00:54:00.119
and then he said, oh, I know what it is.

686
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:04.800
I said, is it because he's not here or is it?

687
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:07.119
He said no, Is it because he's at a different hospital.

688
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:09.559
He said, no, that would be because he's not That

689
00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:11.800
would be the same as he's not being here, wouldn't it.

690
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:16.599
I said, yeah, I suppose, just because that has happened

691
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:20.360
before I went visiting my men, my dad told me

692
00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:24.159
that my name was in hospital. So I went left work.

693
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:27.039
I wasn't going to go to work. I wasn't going

694
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.679
to leave work because I got you know, when you

695
00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:32.599
get a text like can you phone or whatever? It

696
00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:35.559
might just so I phoned Drew and I went to

697
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:42.360
a toilet phone my dad, Oh, she's in hospital. She's yeah.

698
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:43.920
She was very poorly at that time.

699
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:44.400
It was.

700
00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:51.119
Yeah, And there was a couple of years, about a

701
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:55.840
year or a half away before she she left. So

702
00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:59.159
I go back to my desk, this is in the office,

703
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:10.519
and I start crying. I kind of not externally it's

704
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:16.480
a weird one. It's not like I was. I wasn't

705
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:19.960
like squat in tears over everyone. It wasn't that kind

706
00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:25.239
of situation. I didn't not my colleagues weren't sort of

707
00:55:25.239 --> 00:55:29.920
sitting there with umbrellas. But I just I could not

708
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:35.079
just continue like normal, because you know, the idea was

709
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:39.400
I was going to perhaps go and see her after work.

710
00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:42.760
But I went to my boss and I said, like,

711
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:50.519
I've got to go, I know, And he said, he said, well,

712
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:52.840
I can see whether or not we can let you

713
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:55.840
go go and speak to the other manager. I said, no, no,

714
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:59.840
you misunderstand me. I'm not asking for permission. I said,

715
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:05.039
I gotta go, you know, with respect, which I was,

716
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:12.239
I'm going anyway, just letting you know. And he said

717
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.199
he understood. So it was cool. I didn't get discipline

718
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:21.719
or anything. But second time that's happened actually happened when

719
00:56:21.719 --> 00:56:26.440
I was in London. This was delayed though, because I

720
00:56:26.440 --> 00:56:29.880
found out my name broke a hip on the Sunday evening,

721
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:34.599
so I'm thinking, God, God, I've got kind of work

722
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:37.920
on a Monday or no, I think it was no,

723
00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:41.920
it was no. I think it was Wednesday evening. I

724
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:47.480
get his phone call, so I contact my dad. She's

725
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:51.039
in hospital. She's in she it happened like two weeks

726
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.039
or three weeks ago, but now she was in convalescence.

727
00:56:55.480 --> 00:56:58.000
It was a weird one. They couldn't they couldn't contact

728
00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:02.840
me or something i'd because i'd I've basically been kicked

729
00:57:02.840 --> 00:57:05.039
out where I was living, so I didn't have anywhere

730
00:57:05.079 --> 00:57:06.519
to live for a while. And it was all a

731
00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:08.800
little bit up in the air, so I wasn't able

732
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:17.599
to be contacted anyway. The I went to work the

733
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:22.840
next day because I had I think it was Thursday Friday.

734
00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:25.280
I'll just do Thursday Friday, and I'd go up there

735
00:57:25.320 --> 00:57:28.400
the weekend and see her. I realized that she was

736
00:57:29.079 --> 00:57:32.000
going to be okay. And then she'd gone through everything

737
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:35.440
and she was convalescent. I think she had a couple

738
00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:38.320
of weeks or three weeks in convalescence, and then she

739
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:41.800
was going to go back to where she lived, went

740
00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:48.360
to work. Couldn't, couldn't, just I just couldn't, and again,

741
00:57:48.440 --> 00:57:53.119
I said, I gotta go. I went. I went downstairs

742
00:57:53.159 --> 00:58:02.360
into the toilet and cried. Now I don't know what

743
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:06.559
the person in this in the the stall or the

744
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:09.519
toilet next to me was thinking. All he could hear

745
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:17.719
was going, oh, because that's how I cry. Oh oh yeah,

746
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:23.480
oh yeah. Some people think it's a weird way to cry,

747
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:31.960
but oh my goodness. So yeah, I left on that

748
00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:35.599
occasion as well. So I went, you know, I went

749
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.599
straight there, and I didn't. Yeah, it's weird because I

750
00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:44.199
never went back to work. I stayed there for a

751
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:46.920
few days and I found a job because I wanted

752
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:49.920
to be closer to my Then after that I realized

753
00:58:49.960 --> 00:58:54.360
that oh, because I hadn't. Because I was living in London,

754
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:57.679
I didn't get the seer as often, and I thought, no,

755
00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:02.880
gotta make ages, so I did. So I ended up

756
00:59:03.119 --> 00:59:07.639
moving not to the same town, but just outside because

757
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:09.559
I've got a job that was in a different town

758
00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:15.440
and that traveling would have been harsh. So I got

759
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:20.880
somewhere close to where I was living. Technically, I probably

760
00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:28.119
temporarily could have perhaps stayed with my nan, you know,

761
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:30.679
just for the first just until I found somewhere to

762
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:33.599
live in that town and being a bit closer. But

763
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:38.119
there was one time actually when I was when I

764
00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:41.400
just started college two thousand and seven, and I was

765
00:59:41.480 --> 00:59:45.519
looking for somewhere to live. I found somewhere in the

766
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:53.280
town that she was living. But I was going to

767
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:57.599
have to travel for about two hours a day to

768
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:03.119
get to university. It wasn't going to be an easy,

769
01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:08.360
easy trip, you know, it's a long journey. Plus there

770
01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:11.280
was so much involved in being there and where I

771
01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:15.199
was going to have to go. And I managed to

772
01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:18.599
find somewhere a bit closer in the actual town or

773
01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:23.280
on the outskirts of that town. Plus I didn't I

774
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:26.599
know something about the lady that I was going to

775
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:32.679
rent from, who didn't quite seem I don't know. I

776
01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:35.960
didn't get a good vibe from the place. But I

777
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:38.519
did give a deposit because I was needed somewhere. I

778
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:41.800
was desperate to find somewhere to live because I was

779
01:00:44.199 --> 01:00:48.440
I was homeless, pretty much didn't have anywhere to go.

780
01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:57.960
And I didn't realize when I told my nan, I

781
01:00:57.960 --> 01:00:59.960
won't be I'm not moving to your town. Now. Move

782
01:01:00.079 --> 01:01:06.639
I found somewhere closer to the to the university. She

783
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:12.719
hung up on me. She didn't she didn't. She but

784
01:01:12.800 --> 01:01:18.280
she she was upset disappointed, and I didn't realize that.

785
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:23.840
I just yeah, boost. By then it was like too late.

786
01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:26.400
I went back to get a deposit from the lady.

787
01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:31.360
She wouldn't give it back. You'd only had it for

788
01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:34.519
a day. I said, well, can I get some of

789
01:01:34.559 --> 01:01:40.079
it back? Nope? I said, yeah, sure, I said, yep,

790
01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:43.400
you're not getting it back. So I said, so for

791
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:49.159
one day, you're gonna you're you're going to have one

792
01:01:49.239 --> 01:01:53.199
hundred pound for just keeping a room open. For one day,

793
01:01:53.280 --> 01:01:54.599
you're going to have a hundre because I think there's

794
01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:57.559
about a hundred pounds deposit or something. One hundred pound.

795
01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:05.960
She said yeah. I thought, wow, I had to let

796
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:15.800
it go. It's like, okay, it's weird. But I said

797
01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:18.760
to why don't you like being called Jason? It's the

798
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:23.440
best name. He said, I just don't like the name.

799
01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:28.960
I just don't like it. Just prefer the one I've got.

800
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:33.679
He said. My family called me Jason at home, but

801
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:37.880
everyone else or my friends all call me the name

802
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:41.599
that you know me as I said, okay, fair enough.

803
01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:48.039
It was weird. It's like I don't I try. You know,

804
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:52.199
it's someone there was once years ago when I was

805
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:56.079
working at a Buddhist shop. There was someone turned up.

806
01:02:56.679 --> 01:02:59.280
I hadn't met the bloke. I became friends with him,

807
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:03.079
but I did name and I was told, we've got

808
01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:08.440
someone new working here starting today. I said, okay, said

809
01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.760
he said, I'll just let him know his name. I said, okay,

810
01:03:13.119 --> 01:03:15.519
like they're really building up something, like, you know, what,

811
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:18.119
are you making a big deal about his name? They said, well,

812
01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:23.079
his name is free Spirit. I said, okay, what's his

813
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:27.400
real name? They said, yeah, that's his real name. I said,

814
01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:32.199
what's his actual name? Right? I was just interrupted by

815
01:03:32.280 --> 01:03:39.400
Vinnie Barkin. I can't remember what I was talking about then,

816
01:03:40.679 --> 01:03:45.559
so it's so annoying. He just said someone slammed the

817
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:50.440
door and suddenly he's b But I don't know what

818
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:54.639
it was I was discussing. I'm sure it was interesting.

819
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:57.960
Oh yeah, free Spirit. So I said, what's his real name?

820
01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:00.519
It's that's his name, that's his name on his part sport.

821
01:04:01.480 --> 01:04:03.320
I said, I was just about to ask that, and

822
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.320
they said, yeah, I thought you were okay. I said, well,

823
01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:11.639
I'm not calling a free spirit that's his name. No,

824
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:16.599
it's ridiculous. This is back in two thousand and four.

825
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:21.679
So I was a little bit more. I don't know

826
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:32.000
what the world be less less. I don't have to

827
01:04:32.079 --> 01:04:34.360
know nice. Maybe I don't know what the word is.

828
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:37.679
But I just thought it was ridiculous. I was never

829
01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:40.079
in a big I'm a big fan of people changing

830
01:04:40.119 --> 01:04:43.800
their names. Just have the name if you don't like it.

831
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:49.079
It just just you know, it's like people introducing themselves

832
01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:52.719
as j. Like people with my name or people you

833
01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:58.840
can get people called Jason Jamie introduce themselves as j. No,

834
01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:02.320
it's not your name, is its it's Jason, or it's James,

835
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:06.159
or it's Jamie. No, my name's Jay. That's not your name, though,

836
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:11.679
is it? So I would never ever, I mean, I

837
01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:15.760
get called I'll answer to anything. I don't care. And

838
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:21.519
everyone around he calls me Ja. People girlfriends call me

839
01:05:21.639 --> 01:05:27.000
Jace j C. I like to call myself juicy JJ,

840
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:31.440
as you possibly know. But you know, I never would

841
01:05:31.480 --> 01:05:37.000
never introduce myself like I don't know if I've I

842
01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:41.440
met someone who said, oh, you know, i've been seeing

843
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:44.079
you with Vinnie, and I know Vinnie's name, and you

844
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:47.599
know my dog's name, but what's your name? Oh, I'm

845
01:05:48.360 --> 01:05:55.599
Juicy JJ More no, I'm JA. No, I've never called

846
01:05:55.639 --> 01:05:59.400
myself J. But then both my brothers, I'm getting excited now,

847
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:03.599
both my brothers, my older brothers. No, all three of

848
01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.679
my brothers have got shortened names, and I've never called

849
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:11.960
them by their shortened names. Admittedly I haven't seen one

850
01:06:12.039 --> 01:06:18.239
since for thirty one years, but or thirty years, so

851
01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:23.199
apart from that, but his name shortened, My other name's shortened.

852
01:06:23.280 --> 01:06:29.719
The other one shortened, everyone calls him instead of you know.

853
01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:33.639
And then the other one, the short the younger one

854
01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:38.800
everyone calls in. All right, Oh it's not you know,

855
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:41.079
I'm just I'm not going to say their names. But

856
01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:47.480
I can't do that. I've known them as their names.

857
01:06:47.760 --> 01:06:50.800
I'm not going to call them by a nickname or

858
01:06:50.880 --> 01:06:55.320
shortened version because they're not my friends. They're my brothers.

859
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:04.199
You know. Another thing I never used to understand. Why

860
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:14.000
would someone called Simon changed the same name to cy.

861
01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:18.239
I don't mind that. Actually I knew someone called Simon

862
01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:20.039
who was like an older brother to me, and the

863
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:25.000
he left the world too early, So yeah, I don't

864
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:29.880
mind that. Si is fine. But Steve Steve and then

865
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:37.719
Steve ci works. I still think it's what's shortening them

866
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:40.960
a very short name. Simon is a short name, but

867
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:45.639
cy fair enough. It's quite a good name. Sy Steve,

868
01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:53.159
like Stephen. Steve is short for Stephen. But these days

869
01:07:54.119 --> 01:07:56.280
I'm saying that like I'm an old fart when I

870
01:07:56.320 --> 01:08:03.719
say that. Quite often, the they're not named don't seem

871
01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:08.239
to do this long names anymore. So someone would just

872
01:08:08.320 --> 01:08:13.360
be called Steve. Now. Back in my day when I

873
01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:16.680
was born, I don't think anyone would be born Steve.

874
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:21.439
That'd be born Stephen st e p h e n,

875
01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:27.359
or maybe Stephan s t e p f f e n,

876
01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:36.079
and then they'd be be shortened to Steve. But now,

877
01:08:36.199 --> 01:08:39.159
you know, the last I don't know, thirty years or whatever,

878
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:41.560
it seems to have changed. Twenty years. It seems to

879
01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:48.560
have changed, and people are just given their names like Debbie.

880
01:08:49.000 --> 01:08:54.880
Debbie used to be short for Deborah, but now not

881
01:08:54.960 --> 01:08:57.199
just now, I'm in for the last forty odd years,

882
01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:03.119
people calling their kids Debbie like it's a shortened version

883
01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:06.760
of Deborah. It's Deborah. Don't ever say that to someone

884
01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:10.199
called Debbie. You're right, Deborah, it's not my name. My

885
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:15.760
name's Debbie. And or send the birthday cards that says

886
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:20.560
Deborah or Christmas cards, don't do it. For thirty years,

887
01:09:21.279 --> 01:09:26.039
we're doing that to my stepsister. I decided she said

888
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:29.800
it's Debbie, not Deborah. She was seven when she said it,

889
01:09:29.840 --> 01:09:32.039
and it just made me laugh. So since then I've

890
01:09:32.079 --> 01:09:35.079
just called her Deborah.

891
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:45.000
It's Debbie, all right, Deborah, it's Debbie. Oh it was

892
01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:47.119
a bit childish in me. I'm almost like twenty one,

893
01:09:47.239 --> 01:09:50.520
twenty two at the time, and.

894
01:09:51.920 --> 01:10:02.000
Yeah, a bit childish. She's now in her fifties. Ste

895
01:10:02.880 --> 01:10:07.520
I mean Steve. It's such a short name anyway, and

896
01:10:07.640 --> 01:10:11.279
to say it Stee takes just as much effort, and

897
01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:14.720
it lasts just as long as Steve. The good thing

898
01:10:14.760 --> 01:10:19.479
about Steve is at the beginning and an end Steve Stee.

899
01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:24.199
If they it could last longer than Steve. So in

900
01:10:24.239 --> 01:10:33.960
some ways you're elongating it Steve Stee, Stee, Steve Stee.

901
01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:39.319
I don't see the point in it. I've never I've

902
01:10:39.399 --> 01:10:41.279
known a few people called that, and I just don't

903
01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:46.159
get it. Just it's Steve. But then Steve used to

904
01:10:46.159 --> 01:10:49.800
be sure for Stephen. I'm sore sure people now called Steve.

905
01:10:51.319 --> 01:10:54.560
I don't realize they're named after the bionic man Steve Austin.

906
01:10:55.479 --> 01:11:05.439
If only they knew Stee stee j J. Jason is

907
01:11:05.479 --> 01:11:10.880
actually shorter than J. I guess it depends on how

908
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:20.439
long you keep the a going J Jason J juicy,

909
01:11:20.520 --> 01:11:26.520
J J juicy. I can't introduce myself to people? Is juicy?

910
01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:30.560
Can I you know what I mean? It's like that's

911
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:37.199
probably it's not a good introduction job interview, is it?

912
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:43.439
It's I suppose you know Jason. You know the amount

913
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:48.119
of people that correct my surname. I go in and say, so,

914
01:11:48.359 --> 01:11:49.720
can I take your name? So I want to collect

915
01:11:49.720 --> 01:11:55.159
the pharmacy prescriptions, or when I phone up the doctor's surgery.

916
01:11:55.800 --> 01:11:57.479
In the days when we were allowed to phone them up.

917
01:11:57.520 --> 01:12:00.479
Now we have to do everything online. I can't just

918
01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:02.640
book an appointment anymore. I'm just going to start moaning,

919
01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:06.039
so I stopped. So in the past, I phoned up

920
01:12:06.039 --> 01:12:08.319
the doctor surgery and said, yeah, so who is it?

921
01:12:08.399 --> 01:12:11.119
I said, can I take your name? Please? They wouldn't

922
01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:11.880
you say who is it?

923
01:12:12.239 --> 01:12:12.760
Who is it?

924
01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:17.199
What do you want? I said, it's Jason Newland. Oh

925
01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:23.159
Jason Newland. They correct me, and the pharmacy the same,

926
01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:27.079
Oh Jason Newland. There's Vinny do you hear that is

927
01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:33.239
a little bit of barking. Seriously, Vinnie, I think twice,

928
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:38.520
Think twice. Don't stick your ears down like you're scared.

929
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.159
BlimE me. I'm just saying, just be quiet, be calm,

930
01:12:42.199 --> 01:12:45.239
just a little bit calm for Daddy Weddy while I

931
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.479
do my little podcast. Do you ask? Do you okay?

932
01:12:49.399 --> 01:12:57.439
Good girl? So it turned out and speaking to my

933
01:12:57.560 --> 01:13:04.319
step my step brother, that Harry was my step granddad's

934
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:11.159
middle name. After all that it was his middle name

935
01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:16.439
and his first name was I don't even remember what

936
01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:23.279
it was, like Roger or something. So it's like okay.

937
01:13:24.079 --> 01:13:27.319
And apparently when he was in hospital it did cause

938
01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:30.359
problems with the prescriptions and with the nurses because they

939
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:35.159
didn't know who he was. Because someone put down Harry

940
01:13:35.239 --> 01:13:37.560
and then no one knew who Harry was. They put

941
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:39.520
it on the board Harry. But because they have an

942
01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:47.039
all whiteboard that they righte on. It's very It's almost

943
01:13:47.119 --> 01:13:52.600
like us the name that you got on your birth certificate,

944
01:13:53.479 --> 01:14:01.199
especially when it comes to medical stuff. Just use that name. Yeah,

945
01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:05.159
me and my dad are when he moved in. I'm confirm.

946
01:14:05.279 --> 01:14:07.199
I've moan about my dad all time. Not I'm just

947
01:14:07.640 --> 01:14:10.439
this is a thing that a little bit of bugbeard

948
01:14:10.479 --> 01:14:15.199
that I've got. These people that name their houses. Now,

949
01:14:15.560 --> 01:14:17.800
it started off as being something that just annoyed me,

950
01:14:18.319 --> 01:14:22.279
but I've seen in action why I could foresee why

951
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:24.760
it was a problem. And then I saw twice why

952
01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:28.159
came actually more than twice why it can be a problem.

953
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:31.439
So my dad moved into this house. I lived there

954
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:35.000
for about a month. When he moved in, it's about

955
01:14:35.079 --> 01:14:42.560
nineteen ninety and September. And he called the name he

956
01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:48.359
named the house. I don't know it had a number

957
01:14:48.680 --> 01:14:51.479
of the road, but he named it as well. I

958
01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:55.479
can't even remember the name of it. And whenever I

959
01:14:55.520 --> 01:14:58.600
sent a letter or a card, I would always ignore

960
01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:02.399
the name of house. And he who questioned me, why

961
01:15:02.399 --> 01:15:04.560
don't you put the name in the house? I said,

962
01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:07.319
because all we need is a number. Yeah, but it's

963
01:15:07.359 --> 01:15:10.079
got a name. He had a plaque and everything like

964
01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:17.039
lights pointing towards it and planes going past, saying use

965
01:15:17.199 --> 01:15:25.039
the name. But I just like, yeah, what's the point,

966
01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:30.520
just give it. It's got it's a number. So I

967
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:33.000
never used that. But it was something that just like

968
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:37.439
this was, you know, nineteen nineteen ninety one, ninety two,

969
01:15:37.720 --> 01:15:42.560
couldn't just didn't see any point in it. And then

970
01:15:42.760 --> 01:15:47.079
when I was in my thirties, a couple of times

971
01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:53.640
I saw ambulances literally stopped me because I lived in

972
01:15:53.680 --> 01:15:57.159
this area and it was full of houses cottages with names.

973
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:01.119
They also had numbers, but they had names there, so

974
01:16:02.079 --> 01:16:08.359
they were looking for the address. So somebody had cord ambulance,

975
01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:13.039
which meant they were in need of immediate medical care.

976
01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:18.560
I'm just kind of obvious. I guess they're given some

977
01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:21.600
silly name for a house instead of given a number,

978
01:16:21.800 --> 01:16:25.720
which is much easier to find because there's not always,

979
01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:32.399
but quite often there's a degree of numeral congruence when

980
01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:35.039
it came, you know, like number one, then number three,

981
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:40.000
then number five the other side, two, four, six, Not always,

982
01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:42.760
but it's a lot easier if you can. If you're

983
01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:45.920
looking for number nine, if you can find number five,

984
01:16:46.119 --> 01:16:49.479
then you've only got got two doors either side, and

985
01:16:49.520 --> 01:16:54.680
you're going to find the house. And this is at night,

986
01:16:54.760 --> 01:16:59.279
so they couldn't see they couldn't see the house names,

987
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:03.199
but they could see the numbers because a lot of

988
01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:07.479
the things they have numbers outside the front on the

989
01:17:07.560 --> 01:17:12.039
like the gates and stuff, or the postal boxes things,

990
01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:18.640
and I really like twice I saw that people like

991
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:21.279
I can't. I think it happened here again, but that's

992
01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:24.840
three times when they're looking around and they couldn't find it.

993
01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:27.199
But that was more to do with not the house,

994
01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:31.960
but just the lighting is so bad raw raw. Now,

995
01:17:34.520 --> 01:17:36.720
when I moved in here, the lights street lights were on.

996
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:40.840
I think they were on all night, and then they

997
01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:47.000
turned them off at one o'clock and then they changed

998
01:17:47.000 --> 01:17:51.239
all the lights, so it's almost probably half the light

999
01:17:51.319 --> 01:17:55.920
that it used to be. So I can hardly even

1000
01:17:55.960 --> 01:18:00.359
see the ground or where I'm stepping anymore at night

1001
01:18:02.039 --> 01:18:05.359
because it's so dull. You wouldn't be able to read

1002
01:18:05.399 --> 01:18:08.319
a book underneath standing underneath one of them, I don't

1003
01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:11.479
think I wouldn't. And before they used to be bright,

1004
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:18.079
so I realized it's just costcock, cost cutting, cost cutting.

1005
01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:25.119
But once one o'clock comes, or even before that, even

1006
01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:28.880
when it's in the nighttime, even at like seven o'clock

1007
01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:33.000
in the winter, you can't see people driving. They can't

1008
01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:35.960
see the numbers. I know they've got sat and even stuff,

1009
01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:40.479
but it's still quite difficult to find places. It's not

1010
01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:43.119
it's easier for the ambulance to find this place because

1011
01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:47.840
they've come here so often. This building's been regularly visited

1012
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:53.199
by police and ambulance over the years. This whole little

1013
01:18:53.319 --> 01:18:55.680
estate that I live on, it's very well known by

1014
01:18:55.720 --> 01:18:59.640
the police and the ambulance. So that's it, I mean,

1015
01:18:59.640 --> 01:19:06.039
not silly, good thing for them, but it's definitely handy.

1016
01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:09.439
And I've also seen the same kind of problem where

1017
01:19:09.479 --> 01:19:13.800
people have house names where they get deliveries, food deliveries,

1018
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:21.399
maybe Amazon or pizzas and stuff. I saw this, especially

1019
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:24.319
at night. They can't see again, can't see the houses

1020
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:30.279
or these cottages. They'll have the house name in the porch,

1021
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:38.079
but the house number outside the gate, and it'd be

1022
01:19:38.279 --> 01:19:41.960
so grown over, Like I'm not grown over in a

1023
01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:45.079
bad way, but lots of plants and trees and flowers,

1024
01:19:45.279 --> 01:19:48.640
so you you couldn't see the sight in anyway unless

1025
01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:52.840
you could see it. I suppose. I suppose that's that's

1026
01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:57.880
the time when you could see it. I don't know

1027
01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:03.880
why I'm talking about house boobes. It's probably not something

1028
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:05.239
to get too worked up about it.

1029
01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:07.359
Damn.

1030
01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:11.880
I mean, he started he ended up being a good

1031
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:15.199
friend of mine, free spirit, but I was really adamant,

1032
01:20:15.319 --> 01:20:19.159
I'm not calling him free Spirit. I ended up not

1033
01:20:19.239 --> 01:20:24.840
calling him free spirit. I called him free And it's

1034
01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:28.560
weird even what I would have classed is as a

1035
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:31.720
really silly name back then, you know, before I got

1036
01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:35.600
to know. But I would like, was it became it

1037
01:20:35.640 --> 01:20:41.560
became normal talk about free spirit. It was it wasn't

1038
01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:45.319
the free that the word itself, the two words together

1039
01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:49.800
no longer had the same meaning as they did before.

1040
01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:55.039
It was him, his face, his him, and I cared

1041
01:20:55.039 --> 01:21:01.640
about him. So it was a good bloke. And yeah,

1042
01:21:01.960 --> 01:21:05.760
it's weird. I remember he Someone told me that he

1043
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:09.479
was in trouble. He moved out. He had gone to

1044
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.239
live with he was really wanted to have a girlfriend,

1045
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:15.880
and which is fine, but he used to do a

1046
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:20.520
lot of online dating and stuff like that, and he

1047
01:21:20.600 --> 01:21:23.920
moved away to be with someone that lived I think

1048
01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:27.640
in Scotland or somewhere that long, long long way away.

1049
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:33.720
And someone told me I heard in the grapevind that

1050
01:21:34.319 --> 01:21:37.880
free spirits in trouble. I said, what do you mean.

1051
01:21:37.960 --> 01:21:43.000
He said, I think he's homeless. Said what, so I'll

1052
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:46.600
phone him up. So at this time I'm still living

1053
01:21:46.600 --> 01:21:49.520
in the Buddhist community. He'd moved out of the Buddhist community,

1054
01:21:49.560 --> 01:21:54.159
probably four months earlier. Five months earlier. I found him.

1055
01:21:54.159 --> 01:21:58.359
Mama said, you're right. He said, no, I'm going to

1056
01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:01.640
lose lose to him of me feet, two of my feet,

1057
01:22:01.720 --> 01:22:05.000
two of me toes. I said why. He said, I'm

1058
01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:09.159
on a mountain in Scotland camping and I've got nothing.

1059
01:22:09.239 --> 01:22:13.079
I've got no. He still had his motorbike, but he

1060
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:17.119
didn't have any income or anything. And I said, we'll

1061
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:19.880
just come back here. He said, I've got nobody to stay.

1062
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:24.439
I said, we stay here, and he said, but what

1063
01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:26.239
what if the others don't want me to stay there?

1064
01:22:26.680 --> 01:22:29.760
I said, you'll stay here as my guest, regardless of

1065
01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:34.199
what they want. And it was very forceful. I was ever,

1066
01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:38.000
was so proud of myself, and so I said, just

1067
01:22:38.079 --> 01:22:42.720
get yourself here, which he did. He I think he

1068
01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:45.399
managed to find someone to borrow money off to get petrol.

1069
01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:51.159
And he came back and he just went back into

1070
01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:54.600
the same room as he was before. But before he

1071
01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:57.000
got back, we just basically fed him and made sure

1072
01:22:57.039 --> 01:22:59.319
he's okay until he because he was a courier so

1073
01:22:59.359 --> 01:23:03.079
he could get work quite easily. Just got him back

1074
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:05.079
to health a bit. He didn't lose his toes, but

1075
01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:08.159
he was definitely. It was in the middle of winter.

1076
01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:13.760
It wasn't a good time to be sleeping outdoors, which

1077
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.760
wasn't his That wasn't his first choice, to be fair,

1078
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:21.000
And so that night I got eyone together in the

1079
01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:24.840
Buddhist community. There was one, two, three people living there

1080
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:28.159
I think at the time, and me and I said,

1081
01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:34.800
Free's just contacted Free he's in Scotland and he's in

1082
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:36.880
a really bad way. So I've told him to come

1083
01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:41.279
back here. And a couple of them said, oh, we

1084
01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:42.840
haven't taken a vote on it. We have to talk

1085
01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:49.840
about this. Says no, there's no conversation. I said, he's

1086
01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:55.079
coming back here. That's it. And because normally there I

1087
01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:58.239
have to have a big, long conversation, maybe spend the

1088
01:23:58.279 --> 01:24:01.039
next three months discussing whether or not we want him

1089
01:24:01.039 --> 01:24:03.600
to have him back, and what's he going to bring

1090
01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:06.399
him to the community. And you know he left before,

1091
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:09.399
so maybe he wasn't happy before and we'll be happy

1092
01:24:09.520 --> 01:24:12.119
with him before, and what could he do to change?

1093
01:24:12.279 --> 01:24:15.840
I said, none of that. He's coming back here, and

1094
01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:19.279
if you kick him out, you kick me out as well,

1095
01:24:20.279 --> 01:24:27.640
because he's our friend, and they is like, I kind

1096
01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:29.319
of put my foot down. I don't put my foot

1097
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:31.920
down very often, and stuff like this. But I said,

1098
01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:37.079
he's homeless, and he's hungry, and he's you know, he's

1099
01:24:37.079 --> 01:24:39.159
in a bad way. He needs somewhere to stay. So

1100
01:24:39.199 --> 01:24:42.520
he's going to stay here as my guest, you know,

1101
01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:44.680
going forward, if you want to have a big conversation

1102
01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:47.079
about whether he stays here or not, you know, we

1103
01:24:47.119 --> 01:24:49.479
can do that later on. But right now, he's staying

1104
01:24:49.520 --> 01:24:52.520
as my guest, and I'm going to put him up

1105
01:24:52.520 --> 01:24:58.039
in the room downstairs. You know, if you find someone

1106
01:24:58.039 --> 01:25:00.960
else who wants to live here, if someone else that

1107
01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:03.479
needs that room, then we can discuss it, you know,

1108
01:25:03.680 --> 01:25:09.439
whether he wants to stay or But he ended up

1109
01:25:09.439 --> 01:25:13.000
living there more longer than I did then, so I

1110
01:25:13.079 --> 01:25:19.720
ended up moving out and he stayed. But it's weird

1111
01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:22.279
because someone moved in there. And me and three we

1112
01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.880
used to have a bit of a weird friendship. We

1113
01:25:25.960 --> 01:25:28.680
used to sometimes moan at each other because we you know,

1114
01:25:28.840 --> 01:25:32.520
we got on really really well. But sometimes I'd moan

1115
01:25:32.520 --> 01:25:34.960
at him when he moaned me, you know. But what

1116
01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:36.760
he'd do though, when I moaned at him, he just

1117
01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:40.600
stand there and there was someone else who has just

1118
01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:43.479
moved in and they came to his rescue. He didn't

1119
01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:48.800
need rescue in It wasn't that That's a younger person

1120
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:51.359
would say. It wasn't that deep, you know, it wasn't.

1121
01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:54.079
It was just me having a moan. But it wasn't serious.

1122
01:25:54.119 --> 01:26:00.720
It wasn't anything. But this person decided they like, you shouldn't. Shouldn't,

1123
01:26:00.960 --> 01:26:05.159
shouldn't talk like that. But me and him were close.

1124
01:26:05.560 --> 01:26:09.159
We had that relationship where we could a good quite

1125
01:26:09.279 --> 01:26:13.680
humorous connection and we stayed friends for years afterwards as well.

1126
01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:17.960
But anyway, this caused a big problem between me and

1127
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:20.760
that other person, and in the end I had to

1128
01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:26.920
move out. It was, yeah, it was difficult to my friend,

1129
01:26:27.239 --> 01:26:34.439
it was. And he used to get a lot of

1130
01:26:34.479 --> 01:26:38.279
problems when he'd go traveling because his name was free

1131
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:41.760
Spirit and they didn't believe it. What's your real name? Well,

1132
01:26:41.760 --> 01:26:43.760
if he got stopped on his motorbike, what's your name,

1133
01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:47.640
it's free Spirit by the police, Like, what's your real name?

1134
01:26:48.079 --> 01:26:53.039
It's free Spirit. Have you got your passport? No? But

1135
01:26:53.399 --> 01:26:56.079
he was on his driving license, so he did change everything.

1136
01:26:56.119 --> 01:27:00.000
By deed. Poll you think he even had a credit

1137
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:04.399
card or debit card with it. But he still used

1138
01:27:04.439 --> 01:27:06.279
to get stopped when he went abroad because it's a

1139
01:27:06.279 --> 01:27:08.760
bit of a traveler and stuff, and still used to

1140
01:27:09.279 --> 01:27:19.399
like interrogating what's your real name? So that that was it.

1141
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:23.479
Really this the thing that I liked. I I've sort

1142
01:27:23.479 --> 01:27:27.279
of talked about this before, but the three lads the

1143
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:35.399
detective Agency, we there's something about I liked being around

1144
01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:40.920
people that were cleverer than me, because not, okay, it's

1145
01:27:40.920 --> 01:27:43.880
not about being around people look cleverer than me, if

1146
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:48.079
they're talking down to me, if they're making fun of me,

1147
01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:52.760
I didn't feel that they were. They might have been,

1148
01:27:53.039 --> 01:27:56.760
but I didn't feel that they were like I was

1149
01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:02.920
being treated as an equal. And it was very sad

1150
01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:08.239
because one of them, the one that lived in the house,

1151
01:28:08.319 --> 01:28:11.039
the musical house, he lived upstairs and he had that's

1152
01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:15.000
where the office was, that's where the detective agency office was,

1153
01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:19.279
and he had all paperwork and all kind of was

1154
01:28:19.359 --> 01:28:21.720
like so impressive, and I used to go up and

1155
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:24.000
see him, even with out of the other kids. So

1156
01:28:24.039 --> 01:28:27.119
I really liked him. He was organized, and he was

1157
01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:32.680
intellectual and he you know, he was just had loads

1158
01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:38.439
of books and I don't know. We technically didn't have

1159
01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:42.800
much in common in this sense, really, but on the

1160
01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:45.520
other side we kind of did as well, you know.

1161
01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:51.119
And he broke it to me. It was like he said, oh,

1162
01:28:51.319 --> 01:28:55.279
I've got some bad news for you. It was almost

1163
01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:57.520
this is in the first year of high school, so

1164
01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:03.119
I was eleven, and he said, we're moving away. I said,

1165
01:29:03.239 --> 01:29:06.119
is it because of me? I said, what you mean?

1166
01:29:06.199 --> 01:29:08.199
He said, is it because your parents don't like me

1167
01:29:08.239 --> 01:29:09.880
and they want to move you away so you don't

1168
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:14.960
have to be badly influenced by me. He said it's no,

1169
01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.960
it's not the only reason. I said, okay, And I

1170
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:22.199
don't know. I don't know where they moved, but it

1171
01:29:22.279 --> 01:29:25.720
was out of town to a different place. So I

1172
01:29:25.840 --> 01:29:28.279
never saw him again. But I was sad and he

1173
01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:33.960
seemed quite sad as well. And that was it. He

1174
01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:38.279
was gone. And a similar situation with the girl that

1175
01:29:38.359 --> 01:29:43.079
worked that lived in a lot of monastery, a vicarage

1176
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:46.560
and a dad. She invited me to a birthday party,

1177
01:29:46.720 --> 01:29:49.800
the only birthday party I ever got invited to, and

1178
01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:53.680
she told me that she was moving away as well.

1179
01:29:55.960 --> 01:29:58.079
Then there was a teacher that said they were moving away.

1180
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:06.199
A bit of a pan here, isn't there? H Do

1181
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:08.199
you ever wonder if one day you can just go

1182
01:30:08.359 --> 01:30:11.800
traveling or I'm like, you go to a different town,

1183
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:16.279
different part of the country, and you go somewhere, you

1184
01:30:16.399 --> 01:30:21.720
start seeing people that look familiar. Wherever you go, this

1185
01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:25.720
sil looks familiar, and you realize all those people the

1186
01:30:25.720 --> 01:30:28.119
town is full of people that moved away from where

1187
01:30:28.159 --> 01:30:31.840
you lived, just happened to end up in the same place,

1188
01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.079
almost like they moved away or to get away from me,

1189
01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:42.520
like a whole towns were for people that faked their death.

1190
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:52.159
And yeah, wow maybe not so. I haven't really got

1191
01:30:52.319 --> 01:30:55.079
down to much of the website stuff. What I have

1192
01:30:55.279 --> 01:31:01.520
done is on the first page of the website, of

1193
01:31:01.640 --> 01:31:08.680
the Yeah, the website homepage, there is now like a

1194
01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:14.600
little index or not index, what's the right word navigation thing.

1195
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:17.039
There's four things you can click on right at the

1196
01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:24.600
top of the homepage, so podcasts, playlists, podcast apps, and

1197
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:28.479
contact form. I'm not sure if for any of the

1198
01:31:28.520 --> 01:31:31.000
contact form. Maybe I might change out to something else

1199
01:31:31.159 --> 01:31:35.640
later down the road. But click on podcasts and that's

1200
01:31:35.720 --> 01:31:38.520
all the podcasts I got. Then you click on there

1201
01:31:39.319 --> 01:31:42.960
and it goes to the podcast So it's quite easy,

1202
01:31:44.199 --> 01:31:48.960
and playlists click on the playlists it lists. At the moment,

1203
01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:53.520
it's only four podcasts, Let Me Boy to Sleep, Paysmr

1204
01:31:53.640 --> 01:31:59.199
Deep Sleep, Whisper Hypnosis, relax and Sleep Hypnosis, Deity and

1205
01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:03.760
Relaxation for Stress and panic attacks. So there's four. They're

1206
01:32:03.800 --> 01:32:07.079
all up to date as far as the without music ones,

1207
01:32:07.520 --> 01:32:14.239
so they're all done. And so there's them. Then you've

1208
01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:21.520
got podcast apps, so that's all the different podcasts apps

1209
01:32:21.560 --> 01:32:25.760
that I'm on that I could find, so Apple Podcasts,

1210
01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:34.520
all the Ball, Amazon Music podcast App, cast Box, Deezer,

1211
01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:46.359
Luminary Podcast, Republic Player, FM Podcast, Addict, podcast Index, pod Chaser,

1212
01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:56.880
pod Friend, pod Verse, pod Bean, Spreaker, Spotify, and SoundCloud.

1213
01:32:57.920 --> 01:33:00.960
So if you click on any of those, it then

1214
01:33:01.039 --> 01:33:04.640
brings up the images of all the different podcasts. I've

1215
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:08.560
got to choose from the ones that are like faded

1216
01:33:08.640 --> 01:33:10.800
out so you can hardly see him. That means there's

1217
01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:14.520
no there's no link there. And then for example, let

1218
01:33:14.520 --> 01:33:17.560
me Boil your Pain Away, click on that one this

1219
01:33:17.640 --> 01:33:23.079
is on Apple Podcasts, and that podcast comes up, so

1220
01:33:23.640 --> 01:33:25.239
you know it's the same with all of them, so

1221
01:33:25.279 --> 01:33:27.640
it's it's pretty good. I'm quite pleased with it. Actually,

1222
01:33:28.760 --> 01:33:36.119
let's go for a number one Podchaser Podchaser, and let's

1223
01:33:36.199 --> 01:33:40.640
look for Q and a Friday. Click on Q and

1224
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:51.960
a Friday on Podchaser. Where is it? Six recent episodes?

1225
01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:59.079
Why is it not updated? Sixteenth of May? It hasn't

1226
01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:06.000
been updated for some reason. I don't know why. One

1227
01:34:06.039 --> 01:34:10.199
if there's a way of updating it, maybe just taking

1228
01:34:10.239 --> 01:34:13.760
its time. So sixteenth of May was the last one

1229
01:34:13.800 --> 01:34:17.600
that's on there. But the last Q and a Friday

1230
01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:26.520
was the twenty third of May. How unusual. So anyway,

1231
01:34:26.600 --> 01:34:32.840
we go to a different one. Let me see let

1232
01:34:32.840 --> 01:34:38.039
Me Boy to Sleep. Hopefully that's up to date. Q

1233
01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:40.479
and a Friday twenty third and May, So that's up

1234
01:34:40.520 --> 01:34:47.079
to date. I don't know. So sometimes they update themselves.

1235
01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:49.560
Sometimes it's a little bit of difference, you know, it

1236
01:34:49.680 --> 01:34:55.560
takes a while. And let's go down to podbean Podbean

1237
01:34:56.520 --> 01:35:13.760
and click on Jason's Bedtime story Time and ninety six episodes. Wow, okay,

1238
01:35:13.840 --> 01:35:17.640
because there's a few with four six versions. The last

1239
01:35:17.640 --> 01:35:21.079
one I did was number thirty one. Ellis needs a

1240
01:35:21.119 --> 01:35:29.199
Pooh fourteenth for January fourth for January two, tenty twenty five.

1241
01:35:30.399 --> 01:35:34.760
Possibly a time time to do a new one. I

1242
01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:38.279
imagine there's at least one person listening that's thinking, yeah,

1243
01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:42.720
that's a good idea, at least one person. I know

1244
01:35:42.760 --> 01:35:45.880
who that person is. I don't know who that person is,

1245
01:35:46.800 --> 01:35:53.560
no idea, So yeah it is. I think maybe there's

1246
01:35:53.560 --> 01:35:56.199
another way of doing this, though, I'm just thinking. So

1247
01:35:56.239 --> 01:36:05.680
if I'm searching podcasts and I've got podcast apps podcasts

1248
01:36:05.720 --> 01:36:10.319
in a way, that would be wouldn't it be? Would

1249
01:36:10.359 --> 01:36:20.520
it be? No, it's all right, And then playlists playlist

1250
01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:27.520
is definitely that's cool. So playlists. Yeah, it seems to

1251
01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:31.279
work okay for me. I think it's all right. And

1252
01:36:31.800 --> 01:36:38.720
it works on the mobile phone or the mobile phone

1253
01:36:38.720 --> 01:36:44.159
if you call it that the mobile, So yeah, it's

1254
01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:46.479
It takes a fair bit because I'm using codes. I'm

1255
01:36:46.479 --> 01:36:51.399
putting in my own code in order to make things work.

1256
01:36:51.840 --> 01:36:55.039
There's a lot of testing, a lot of testing, a

1257
01:36:55.079 --> 01:37:00.600
lot of so I'm quite because I've got the ground

1258
01:37:00.640 --> 01:37:07.800
of knowing HTML code for websites, although I didn't. I'm

1259
01:37:07.880 --> 01:37:11.279
really sort of built stuff by code on my own

1260
01:37:11.399 --> 01:37:15.359
for long long time. I'm able to tinker around with

1261
01:37:15.399 --> 01:37:19.000
it and figure out what's wrong. Sometimes not all the time,

1262
01:37:19.399 --> 01:37:21.680
but on this occasion. I have a lot of problem

1263
01:37:21.760 --> 01:37:25.840
with getting them both together and having them linking up

1264
01:37:25.880 --> 01:37:30.479
to where I wanted them to link. But I could

1265
01:37:30.520 --> 01:37:32.640
do it because I could look at the code and see,

1266
01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:35.479
I'll wait a minute, that needs to be changed, and

1267
01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:40.520
I change them and it works perfectly. I'm saying that now.

1268
01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:45.960
Hopefully it's going to continue to work perfectly. But at

1269
01:37:45.960 --> 01:37:53.760
the moment, if I just click on home, yeah, podcasts, playlists,

1270
01:37:53.800 --> 01:37:58.960
podcast apps, and contact, then down below that is they're

1271
01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:06.399
the small small images, small little buttons to press, and

1272
01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:14.720
then below that is where is it? Oops, Please support

1273
01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:18.920
my free service as a PayPal link and join Jason

1274
01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:23.119
Newland's boring group on Facebook. Join and there's a little

1275
01:38:23.239 --> 01:38:28.760
little picture of Minnie pointing towards the point into it. Yeah,

1276
01:38:29.239 --> 01:38:31.439
so that will take you to that group as well.

1277
01:38:33.880 --> 01:38:42.479
So there's still a fair bit to do. But yeah,

1278
01:38:42.680 --> 01:38:48.159
it's all right. I watched the boxing last night and

1279
01:38:48.720 --> 01:38:55.479
Moses are tuur a tumor, Moses a tumor. It's so good.

1280
01:38:57.680 --> 01:39:00.880
I kind of see now why they're building them up

1281
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:05.960
gradually and not putting him in deep waters straight away,

1282
01:39:07.000 --> 01:39:12.560
because I can kind of see it now. He was

1283
01:39:12.920 --> 01:39:17.199
destined potentially to be to beat Mike Tyson's record for

1284
01:39:17.239 --> 01:39:21.079
the youngest heaterwear champion ever, but he's too late now.

1285
01:39:21.079 --> 01:39:23.920
He'd have to win a world title this next month,

1286
01:39:23.960 --> 01:39:27.119
I think, or this month in order to beat Mike

1287
01:39:27.159 --> 01:39:30.920
Tyson's record, so he's not going to be doing that. Actually,

1288
01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:36.920
just had a fight on last night, so I can

1289
01:39:37.000 --> 01:39:41.000
kind of see what they're doing now. But it's so spectacular.

1290
01:39:44.680 --> 01:39:51.319
It's spectacular if he can do what he does with

1291
01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:57.760
because he hasn't fought anyone a big name yet. But

1292
01:39:57.840 --> 01:40:00.920
you know, it's just he hasn't he's not even he

1293
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:05.760
hasn't fought at he's not even fought a British level yet,

1294
01:40:05.800 --> 01:40:09.760
not really, you know. So I don't know if he's

1295
01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:12.960
going to bother going down that route, because he's possibly

1296
01:40:12.960 --> 01:40:14.520
going to have a world title fight at the end

1297
01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:21.279
of the year according to his manager, but he needs

1298
01:40:21.319 --> 01:40:27.119
to go in with a name, like a bigger name,

1299
01:40:27.640 --> 01:40:35.079
someone that's one of the best in this country. That's

1300
01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:39.079
that's kind of the normal kind of routine often routine

1301
01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:42.439
or root rather for boxers in this country. You know,

1302
01:40:42.479 --> 01:40:46.239
they win the English title, then they're win the British title,

1303
01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:49.479
then they're in the European title, then they're in the

1304
01:40:49.520 --> 01:40:55.000
Commonwealth title, and then they go on to fight for

1305
01:40:55.039 --> 01:41:00.600
a world title. So that's not all is the case,

1306
01:41:00.680 --> 01:41:03.159
but it's kind of It can often be that kind

1307
01:41:03.199 --> 01:41:06.800
of process. So you know, they become the best in

1308
01:41:06.840 --> 01:41:11.439
England in their weight category. Technically, I suppose if they

1309
01:41:11.479 --> 01:41:13.800
hold the belt, then they become the best in Britain.

1310
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:16.039
Then they become the best in Europe, and then the

1311
01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:19.039
best in the commonweth and they're ready for taking on

1312
01:41:19.079 --> 01:41:21.760
the best in the world. It's a sort of a

1313
01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:27.000
natural progression. He doesn't seem to be going down that route,

1314
01:41:31.199 --> 01:41:34.840
but apparently he's going to fight again in two months,

1315
01:41:34.840 --> 01:41:37.039
so I'm looking forward to that. I don't have to

1316
01:41:37.079 --> 01:41:40.640
wait another five months or six months between fights. If

1317
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:44.920
he's not going to fight anyone that's going to give

1318
01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:51.159
him I don't know. I'd love to see him against

1319
01:41:51.159 --> 01:41:57.079
a big name. Not I don't mean like anyone at

1320
01:41:57.159 --> 01:41:59.560
the top, but just a name that everyone knows of,

1321
01:42:00.479 --> 01:42:11.520
like Zillig Zang or Cisaura or Dillian White or Dave Allen.

1322
01:42:13.399 --> 01:42:19.279
Even that'd be interesting. Well, the only person I don't

1323
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:24.159
want to see him fight is I don't want to

1324
01:42:24.199 --> 01:42:29.560
see him fight Fabio Wardley because I love Fabia Wardley

1325
01:42:31.199 --> 01:42:33.399
and I love Moses. I don't both of them. I

1326
01:42:33.439 --> 01:42:38.399
don't want to fight. I want them to Let them

1327
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:44.319
both be world champions, plus their stable mates. It doesn't

1328
01:42:44.359 --> 01:42:47.439
mean they can't fight each other, but it's they kind

1329
01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:52.279
of you know, they've discussed it, but I'm I'm a

1330
01:42:52.319 --> 01:42:57.359
fan of both, in the same way with Frank Bruno

1331
01:42:57.399 --> 01:43:01.720
when he fought Lennox Lewis, I liked both. I love

1332
01:43:01.800 --> 01:43:04.680
Frank Bruno and I was a big fan of Lenox

1333
01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:08.479
Lewis because it was clear to me that he was

1334
01:43:08.560 --> 01:43:13.520
going to be, you know, champion in that fact, and

1335
01:43:13.600 --> 01:43:15.199
I think at that point he was champion when he

1336
01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:18.000
fought Bruno. But I'd followed Lenox Lewis right from the

1337
01:43:18.119 --> 01:43:23.439
very start. Frank Bruno, he'd already started before I followed

1338
01:43:23.520 --> 01:43:26.920
him because I was very young, but I'd followed him

1339
01:43:26.960 --> 01:43:29.600
for years. But I was I was a huge fan

1340
01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:33.399
of Frank Bruno. So when Frank Bruno fought Lennox Lewis,

1341
01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:36.399
I wanted Frank to win, but I didn't really want

1342
01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:41.079
them to fight, you know, I'd rather Frank Frank fight

1343
01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:43.720
someone else for a world title. I didn't want to

1344
01:43:43.880 --> 01:43:47.720
see Lennox Lewis have to, and it was a shame

1345
01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:55.800
because it put a dent in Lennox Lewis's career, not

1346
01:43:55.800 --> 01:44:02.119
not career, but his reputation. Because Frank Brunner was the darling.

1347
01:44:02.199 --> 01:44:08.279
He was the hero of this country boxing wise, And

1348
01:44:08.319 --> 01:44:13.760
a similar thing happened with Henry Cooper and Joe Bugner.

1349
01:44:14.399 --> 01:44:18.039
So Henry Cooper was an absolute hero. And because he

1350
01:44:18.119 --> 01:44:23.239
knocked down r Le when Ali was Cassius Glay, I

1351
01:44:23.319 --> 01:44:26.119
didn't win, but he knocked it he you know, he

1352
01:44:26.199 --> 01:44:30.359
knocked him pretty much, nearly knocked him out. Henry Cooper

1353
01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:34.600
was a big hero. And then Joe Bugner came along,

1354
01:44:35.000 --> 01:44:39.600
much younger man, and he never kind of People didn't

1355
01:44:39.600 --> 01:44:45.199
seem to forgive him for being up Henry Cooper in

1356
01:44:45.239 --> 01:44:50.560
this country. And a similar thing with Muhammad Ahli and

1357
01:44:51.239 --> 01:44:55.279
Larry Holmes. A lot of people didn't forgive, forgive Larry

1358
01:44:55.279 --> 01:45:01.359
Holmes for winning against Dhli when Ali was I'm not

1359
01:45:01.479 --> 01:45:07.479
able to really do it anymore. It wasn't his fault,

1360
01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:15.119
was it blind me? So yeah, so I'm looking forward

1361
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:18.960
to what happens between them. But I don't want them

1362
01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:21.239
to really fighting each other. I want to see Fabio

1363
01:45:21.880 --> 01:45:25.800
win a world title and I want to see Moses.

1364
01:45:27.720 --> 01:45:31.840
I mean, even if he does come unstuck against someone,

1365
01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:35.319
you know, they put him in with someone too good

1366
01:45:35.399 --> 01:45:41.439
too soon, the skill and the power he has got,

1367
01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:44.199
he can come back and still win a world title.

1368
01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:50.079
I would it's almost definite that he's going to win

1369
01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:54.560
a world title. I know there's no it's nothing definite,

1370
01:45:54.560 --> 01:46:01.279
but it's to me. I would put it in the

1371
01:46:01.319 --> 01:46:06.239
same category as definite as Mike Tyson win the world title.

1372
01:46:07.439 --> 01:46:09.079
When I used to watch him before he won the

1373
01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:13.039
world title, before he fought for one, and Nigel Ben

1374
01:46:13.039 --> 01:46:17.720
as well. It's almost like with their death they're going

1375
01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.319
to win the world title. Anthony Joshua is going to

1376
01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:26.880
win the world title. There's no two ways about it.

1377
01:46:26.880 --> 01:46:30.840
It just almost just looks like that's Lennox Lewis. He

1378
01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:33.960
was going to be world champion. There was no way

1379
01:46:34.000 --> 01:46:37.640
he wasn't going to be. Frank Bruno I believe that,

1380
01:46:39.479 --> 01:46:41.760
but after a few attempts, I kind of wasn't sure

1381
01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:44.680
to be honest, but then he did get it in

1382
01:46:44.760 --> 01:46:53.159
ninety five. So with Moses a tumor. I believe he's

1383
01:46:53.199 --> 01:46:55.760
going to be a world champion, and because he's twenty,

1384
01:46:57.640 --> 01:46:59.760
they do make a big deal about him being so young.

1385
01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:04.960
I knin't of understand, but he might be doing what

1386
01:47:05.000 --> 01:47:09.279
Mike Tyson did and peaked, because I'm sure they're going

1387
01:47:09.319 --> 01:47:11.399
to be I want to hear some of the commentators

1388
01:47:12.079 --> 01:47:14.039
during one of his fights saying, oh, wait till he

1389
01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:18.920
gets his man's strength, which is such a silly thing

1390
01:47:19.000 --> 01:47:22.840
to say. No one said that about Mike Tyson when

1391
01:47:22.880 --> 01:47:26.159
he was knocking out people twice his size. No, when

1392
01:47:26.159 --> 01:47:29.199
he won the world title at twenty, no one was saying, ah, well,

1393
01:47:29.199 --> 01:47:32.560
wait till Mike Tyson gets his man's strength. I don't

1394
01:47:32.560 --> 01:47:36.199
remember once ever hearing, you know, later on when he

1395
01:47:36.239 --> 01:47:41.880
was like twenty five, twenty six, always got his man's strength. Now, no,

1396
01:47:42.079 --> 01:47:49.039
he's always he developed early. He was he was at

1397
01:47:49.079 --> 01:47:55.319
his peak at the age of nineteen Mike Tyson twenty

1398
01:47:55.520 --> 01:48:00.359
twenty one. After that, he was never with that good game.

1399
01:48:00.800 --> 01:48:03.640
He was still great, but he wasn't still good, but

1400
01:48:03.680 --> 01:48:07.960
he wasn't at the same level after nineteen ninety. He

1401
01:48:08.039 --> 01:48:12.840
never got that back. You know, it was it was oops.

1402
01:48:13.119 --> 01:48:15.119
I don't have to get rid of that metal thing.

1403
01:48:16.159 --> 01:48:19.920
He's got this metal thing underneath the desk. I don't

1404
01:48:19.960 --> 01:48:24.000
even know why it's on there. I mean, what what what,

1405
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:26.119
what use is it other than just to bang my

1406
01:48:26.199 --> 01:48:33.199
hand on. So I watched that last night. It was weird. Also,

1407
01:48:34.479 --> 01:48:37.960
I won't spoiled, but there was another fight on and

1408
01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:43.760
the commentators were talking as if one person had obviously won,

1409
01:48:45.439 --> 01:48:50.800
and then the I I just skipped through to the

1410
01:48:50.920 --> 01:48:57.399
end and the other person won. Okay, but one one

1411
01:48:57.439 --> 01:49:01.680
of the judge, one of the not commentator, he was

1412
01:49:01.760 --> 01:49:04.239
kind of one of the kind of commentators in the background,

1413
01:49:04.560 --> 01:49:06.319
said well, I think the other one might have won it,

1414
01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:10.119
and they were no, no, no no, and he had

1415
01:49:10.159 --> 01:49:14.239
won it. So I skipped back and just watched through it.

1416
01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:19.159
And the other boxer it wasn't like one sided, but

1417
01:49:19.239 --> 01:49:23.479
he was. It was definitely you'd have thought it was

1418
01:49:23.520 --> 01:49:25.760
one side of the other way from the way the

1419
01:49:25.800 --> 01:49:35.800
commentators were talking. It's the bias, isn't it. I guess anyway,

1420
01:49:37.239 --> 01:49:39.159
I might have been talking for a long time tonight

1421
01:49:39.479 --> 01:49:42.760
or today. It is now three o'clock and it was

1422
01:49:45.279 --> 01:49:47.239
about one o'clock, wasn't it. Let me have a.

1423
01:49:47.199 --> 01:50:01.159
Look free key chair.

1424
01:50:04.199 --> 01:50:12.039
Right. One hour and fifty minutes. I didn't really get

1425
01:50:12.079 --> 01:50:18.359
to talk much about the website. Oh well, so I'm

1426
01:50:18.359 --> 01:50:20.640
going to go. Thank you for listening. Remember to be

1427
