In this special birthday edition of Let Me Bore You To Sleep (#1422), Jason Newland reflects on the day his younger brother was born—the day before his 8th birthday—and how it completely changed the spotlight on his big day. With his trademark mix of humor, rambling stories, and light-hearted complaints, Jason shares childhood memories, family anecdotes, and the unique way birthdays shaped his life. As always, the meandering storytelling is designed to relax, distract, and gently lull you into a calm, sleepy state. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a blend of nostalgia, silliness, and soothing background chatter before drifting off to sleep.

00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.400
hand on top of my head, really feeling the temperature

12
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:46.200
difference in my bald spot, it's weird and like, ugh,

13
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:48.719
I wonder, I'm not sure if I wonder if I

14
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:55.120
have any hair by the time I'm sixty five. So yeah,

15
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.159
so it's my brother was born well now clearly was

16
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.959
born the day before my birthday when I was I

17
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.759
turned eight. So basically he was born the day before

18
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:19.000
my eighth birthday. And I remember that quite clearly. Yeah,

19
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:25.719
so I'll tell you about that in a minute. Oh yeah,

20
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:33.080
I got uncle sausages funeral on Thursday at nine thirty,

21
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.080
So that's going to be a weird one. But I

22
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.479
do still intend to do a Q and A Friday

23
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.400
This Friday. I need to post a question thing on

24
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.319
faith book. I had a lot of questions last time

25
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.000
last Friday, lots and lots of questions. So I'm gonna

26
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.080
if I remember, I will post that. I could do

27
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.400
it now while I'm thinking about No, I can't because

28
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.639
there's no Internet on my phone because I always put

29
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:16.639
it onto Yeah, I put it onto what's it called.

30
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:23.560
Airplane boot mode so I don't get disturbed by all

31
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.960
the millions of phone calls that I get on a

32
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:27.680
daily basis me.

33
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:37.280
So yeah, I'll do that after this. So it's bank

34
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.280
collored in Monday here in the British Isles of the

35
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:53.039
UK England Commonwealth, and it's a nice day outside. It's

36
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:59.240
really nice little bit of wind, which is good. It's

37
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:06.159
fairly hot out there, very sunny. What he took Vinnie

38
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:16.360
out earlier about seven o'clock ish call s he barked

39
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.759
at a couple of dogs like he does. I missed

40
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.560
the old days when he was really like when he

41
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.720
was ten months old and I first got him, he

42
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.439
was happy to see every single dog excited. He just

43
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.720
wanted to run up to them and be friends. He's

44
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.439
not like that anymore. He's got the dogs that he's

45
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:46.439
friends with, and anyone new he's not particularly interested in,

46
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:52.439
and especially the big dogs. He doesn't like big dogs,

47
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:57.399
or generally black dogs. But he's got a couple of

48
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.360
black dog friends, so he's not completely racist, but he's

49
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.959
definitely you know, he's got a thing about sheep dogs,

50
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.160
what they called colliers or whatever they're called. Yet one

51
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:15.120
of his good friends is a collier's. I can't figure

52
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:22.279
him out, really, So I'm not a big fan of

53
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.040
him doing it anytime, but not early in the morning

54
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:30.199
or late at night. Just not not really don't really

55
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:36.480
enjoy that. It's because some people like he did it. Yesterday,

56
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.360
we turned a corner and there was someone there of

57
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.959
a dog, and did he's barking, And both the people

58
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.319
the dog would give me funny looks like it's just

59
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.079
a dog. He's barking. That's what dogs do. Man. But

60
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.160
you know, I could be responsible for him up to

61
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.439
a limit. You know, he's on a lead. He can't

62
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.000
do any mischief. But as far as barking. He's going

63
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.279
to do that. He's a dog, that's what you know.

64
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.920
I can't stop him from barking. I try and stop him,

65
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.040
and I'm usually able to calm him down. But ultimately,

66
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.319
if he decides to start barking, which I think is

67
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.000
kind of automatic behavior, he doesn't plan it. He's not

68
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.879
got a little alarm goes off on his on his

69
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.680
watch that tells him all time to bark. No, it's

70
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:41.120
just an automatic response to outside stimuli. I'm guessing. Don't

71
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.639
know where he is. He's on the floor somewhere. He

72
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.319
came in licking his lips. So I've got some food,

73
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.040
got some water, or change his waterever because he was

74
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.360
in a bedroom with his water and his food did

75
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.879
not touch his food fro him last night. So I've

76
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.639
given him some new food. Put it out. I haven't

77
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.720
got anywhere near it, and I think he's just done

78
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:12.720
a big far Wait. No, it wasn't me, it was him.

79
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.639
If it was me, it was a silent one. But

80
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.480
normally even if it's silent, you know, still feel the

81
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:26.319
air bad bad. So, yeah, it's another week, another week

82
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.399
in August. It's the last week of August. I do believe.

83
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:38.199
So what we've got twenty six tomorrow, just Tuesday, my birthday,

84
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:45.959
fifty five, twenty seventh, on Wednesday, twenty third, on Thursday,

85
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:55.399
twenty third, Wow, twenty six, twenty seven, Wednesday, twenty eighth, Thursday,

86
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:02.639
twenty ninth, Friday, thirtieth, Saturday Day, very first Sunday, and

87
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:08.120
the first of September will be next Monday in a

88
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:17.000
week's time. So yeah, that was a bit pointless, really, wasn't.

89
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.600
I just reading out the numbers of the days. The

90
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.040
weird thing is, I just really enjoyed doing it, and

91
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:33.840
I don't know why. I do know. Yeah, I haven't

92
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:40.000
really done much today, although it's still fairly early. It's

93
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:45.080
only eleven twenty five in the morning. I mean recently,

94
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:47.799
I have been doing recordings a little bit earlier than this,

95
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:55.240
but it's been relatively quiet outside, so I thought, ah,

96
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.399
maybe i'll make a recording. There's not much screaming and shouting,

97
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:04.480
and you know, ding dong was going on out there.

98
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:13.200
Plus one two, three, four, one two four out of

99
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.840
six of the flats in this building are empty at

100
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:22.320
the moment today. Anyway, one's on holiday. I think one's

101
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.399
gone away for the weekend or so. I don't know.

102
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.080
I haven't seen them because I put some black bags

103
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.759
out there out the front for them. There's a little

104
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.000
gift and they haven't brought it in, so I guess

105
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.320
they're not around. And then one downstairs on a holiday,

106
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.360
and then they have two flats that are empty anyway,

107
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:47.039
So there's only me and downstairs that they're here today.

108
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:56.440
So pretty quiet and I don't make much noise generally.

109
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:03.840
I'm fairly fairly useful neighbor. I would, I would, I think,

110
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:10.720
I hope. So I have asked intermittently my neighbor downstairs

111
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.120
just to make sure that I'm being quiet enough, because

112
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.759
I don't, you know, I don't want to be one

113
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.799
of those noisy neighbors. That's almost like my worst scenario.

114
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.559
Just yeah, other than having a really noisy neighbors, that's

115
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:38.960
that's up higher than that, you know, so hmmm, yeah,

116
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.360
the weakerheads looking well. I don't really do anything on

117
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:49.279
my birthday anymore. I used to. I used to celebrate

118
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:56.039
my birthday every single year, not as in like having

119
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:03.039
a birthday celebration party or anything like that. I'm talking

120
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:04.720
about as an adult. When I was a kid, I

121
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.919
used to have parties. I think, yeah, pretty much. But

122
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.279
as an adult, most of the time when I was

123
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.919
in London, I would take the day off on my birthday.

124
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:25.440
I'd go up to the West End and just chill out.

125
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:32.519
I'll become I suppose, like a tourist for the day

126
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.720
and I'd go and eat out, and I'd go and

127
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.120
I'd be on my own every single time, and I'd

128
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.279
just you know, just go to the West End. I

129
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.279
would look around, go into the bookshops, maybe buy a book,

130
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:55.000
go and get McDonald's. I saw her an advert or

131
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.159
saw an advert on TV for McDonald's. And now they're

132
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:05.159
using the term Mackie d for McDonald's, which just shows

133
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.360
you how how slow companies are to use because I

134
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.440
heard that term when I like twenty five years ago,

135
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.159
people talking about mcy d's. So now McDonald's just realized

136
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.919
that people use that term. I personally don't use that

137
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:30.759
term because it's McDonald's. I did the idea of actually

138
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.320
making a cute name for something that's so harmful for me,

139
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.480
you know, I mean McDonald's. Okay. I used to like

140
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:44.360
McDonald's used to be a treat. Now it's I would

141
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.559
have I would go to McDonald's if there was nothing

142
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.759
else to eat. It would be a last resort. I

143
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:59.559
think i'd even choose a sausage roll over McDonald's meal. Generally, yes,

144
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.679
it's if I'm in the middle of somewhere and I've

145
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.799
got no other food. I'll go to McDonald's only if

146
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.600
there's McDonald's there, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to go,

147
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:29.440
could I. No. Oh, So my birthday, my birthday, my birthday,

148
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:39.480
My my birthday, my birthday, my birthday. Oh fifty five?

149
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:51.559
How many birthdays I can remember? I can't remember last year. Well,

150
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:59.600
birthdays stand out in my life. Okay, the first birthday

151
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:05.200
I call was when I was living in Newcastle in

152
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.039
a children's home, and I come down. I've told this

153
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.360
story before, but I come downstairs because my birthday was

154
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.519
always during the summer holidays when I was at school,

155
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.720
so right from being I don't know when I first

156
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.440
went to school. I don't know what age I was,

157
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.840
but I never had to do anything on my birthday

158
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:35.679
until I started working, and then when I got to

159
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.000
my twenties, I kind of decided I'm not working on

160
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:46.919
my birthday anymore. So, yeah, my first birthday recollection because

161
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.360
I didn't know what my birthday was. I didn't know

162
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:53.320
how old I was back then, so I guessed and

163
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:59.480
I was probably about five. And I come downstairs. I'm late,

164
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.639
must have slept in or something. I go into the canteen.

165
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:13.639
Because the the Children's Home in Newcastle was a lot

166
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.080
better than the Children's Home in South End where I

167
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:21.320
ended up. It was it was just nicer though. The

168
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.840
place was nicer and as far as brighter and where

169
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.200
we ate, it was like a conservatory thing and I

170
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.440
don't know, it was just a nicer and it was

171
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.480
all surrounded by fields and you know the play area,

172
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:44.159
big play field was swings and stuff. Yeah. Anyway, I

173
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.919
so I come down and I'm sitting at the table

174
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.759
and someone says, oh, happy birthday. I said, okay, I

175
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.639
had no idea it was my birthday. Neither did they.

176
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:05.080
Obviously I did because they just said happy birthday. And

177
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.480
because I know I had that conversation with him. I said,

178
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.840
how do you ask my birthday? And she said I didn't.

179
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.039
I said, well, you just told me happy birthday. How

180
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.759
can you say happy birthday if you didn't know it's

181
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.080
my birthday? She said, well I could just be making

182
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:24.759
it up. And I could say happy birthday to anyone

183
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.320
at any time, you know. But I said, what are

184
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.840
you you making up? And she said no, I'm not.

185
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.759
I said, okay, well, how come how do you know

186
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:38.879
it's my birthday? Then she said because your mom came around.

187
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.960
I said really, I said, yeah, your mom turned up.

188
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:50.679
I said, okay, where was she? No, she didn't stop. Okay,

189
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:55.240
she didn't stop. She did. Why didn't you wake me up? Oh?

190
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.559
She couldn't stop. Okay. So I said, okay, a lot

191
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.559
back then, and I said all right, And she said

192
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:07.160
then the lady said, well, she left you a present.

193
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.400
I said, I really, and she gave it to me.

194
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.640
It was a box of more teasers, like one of

195
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.599
the bigger boxes. And I love not what I love

196
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.960
more teasers, still do. So oh and that was it.

197
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.440
That was my birthday, and that's her first birthday. I

198
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:37.680
remember having really knowing what her birthday was. Now the

199
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.119
next time I had a birthday, I couldn't tell you.

200
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.960
I mean, I know it was a year later, but

201
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.440
I couldn't tell you. I don't remember a specific celebration

202
00:17:48.920 --> 00:18:01.039
of any particular birthday year, probably until I was eight,

203
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.559
So I remember that birthday. So we'd been living we

204
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.960
just moved into, not just moved in, but I hadn't

205
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.640
been long. We've been living in this house, which was

206
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:19.799
a new build on a council estate, which my nana

207
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.759
Grande moved into as well. Once we moved out in

208
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.559
I don't know, nineteen eighty eight or summer time. Yeah,

209
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.359
just in time. Yeah, it's probably just in time for

210
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:41.559
me to move into. We moved into a new house

211
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:51.359
and I started in new school in September. So yeah,

212
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:59.000
that's it. Yeah, that's right. So the day before my

213
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:06.680
eighth birthday, the twenty fifth, which is today, I don't

214
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:16.680
even know how many years ago, forty something, forty three, No,

215
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.880
forty seven years ago. So my little brother is now

216
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:27.880
forty seven, he's getting old, an he so forty seven

217
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:36.400
years ago today, I was see in our house we

218
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.000
had and I don't know why, and it's really it

219
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.440
caused problems for my name as well. She fell down

220
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.480
these steps that I fell down, and they put a

221
00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:50.400
ramp up in the end. My dad and whatever. It

222
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:55.640
was ridiculous, like these big steps and each step was

223
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.079
pretty much as high up up to my knee when

224
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.839
I was only two inches tall at the time, but

225
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:08.920
still big steps to get into the back door. And

226
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.720
it's I think it's because the house was kind of

227
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.200
on a bit of a slope and the ground hadn't

228
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.400
settled yet because it was on a new bit of land.

229
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.799
Why not a new bit of land and land's probably

230
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.759
been there for millions of years, But depending on which

231
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:37.119
book you read. And I I fell downstairs that my

232
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.480
stepmom was heavily pregnant. I mean, the fact is she

233
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.119
had a baby that day, so she must have been

234
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:47.519
quite heavily pregnant. And she comes out to help me.

235
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.400
So I falked down the stairs and I'm crying where

236
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.519
my dad comes out and oh, you've had the baby already,

237
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:03.359
and he realizes it's just me. I was still a baby,

238
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.559
that's what That's the day I stopped being a baby.

239
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.039
It's kind of weird. I got to be a baby

240
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:18.200
for a year pretty much. I had a whole year

241
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.559
of being the baby, being the youngest. I know, I

242
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:25.720
was young. I was youngest for the first eight years,

243
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.799
but that's it's only between seven and eight that I

244
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:34.119
was actually treated like a human, I think. So I

245
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.279
got to be a baby and act like a baby

246
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.160
and be all, I don't know baby ish, I guess

247
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.400
I don't mean a baby baby. I wasn't like wearing

248
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:49.359
nappies and going gega googo, Not that babies generally go

249
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:56.640
gega goo goo, buta like that. I wasn't doing that,

250
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.119
but I was, you know, I was. My dad would

251
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.720
carry me on his shoulders and we were walking around

252
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:13.960
and I would sit on my stepmom's lap and cuddle

253
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.200
up to her like I was a little baby. Yeah,

254
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.160
it was good. I liked it. But then my little

255
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:24.759
brother was born and he ruined everything, absolutely ruined it,

256
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:31.799
and I suddenly had to start acting I suppose my

257
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.960
age really, but it was good. It was good for

258
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:46.680
a year, kind of, was it. Yeah. I remember once

259
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.240
I was thinking because my dad said, oh, you get

260
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:54.480
a bit too heavy now for me to carry you

261
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.079
on my shoulders, so I'm probably not gonna be able

262
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:01.519
to do it anymore. And I thought, hmmm, So what

263
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.880
I did is I put super glue on my bum

264
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.240
and on my legs. Well, I was wearing trousers but

265
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.079
super glue on them, and I thought that'd work, but

266
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:16.640
it didn't. He just took his shirt off and we

267
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:24.359
didn't talk about it again. Yeah, the people in a

268
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:31.359
restaurant weren't too pleased. That doesn't make sense. What do

269
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.039
you mean the people in the restaurant. Why would you

270
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.839
be on your dad's shoulders in a restaurant? I don't know.

271
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:39.799
It makes sense when I said it, But then once

272
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.680
I said that, I realized it didn't make sense, and

273
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:46.279
instead of moving on, I actually highlighted the factor. What

274
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:50.200
I just said made no no sense at all.

275
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.599
You can't think of any other words that mean sense,

276
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.920
can you? So you just keep using the same words sense.

277
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:05.039
Yeah I noticed that as well. Thanks, it's okay. I'm

278
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:13.119
here to help. Yeah, cheers didn't make any didn't seem relevant,

279
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.160
didn't make any kind of sense. No, see, she'll keep

280
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:20.000
coming back to the words since anyway. I fell over,

281
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.279
not on purpose, you know. I bashed my knee on

282
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:34.119
the concrete floor. It hurt, and I cried like that

283
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:39.920
and probably about a lot louder. Although I got quite

284
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:46.880
a quiet voice. I can shout really loud. You'd be

285
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:51.359
surprised you. Honestly, I can really shout loud if I

286
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.079
need to. But the whole estate would hear me if

287
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:59.119
I showered my loudest. I don't know why. It's my

288
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:02.519
little superpower. I keep quiet. I keep it to myself.

289
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:12.920
Plus there's no apparent reason to use it. And yeah,

290
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.960
so I've fallen I've fallen over off the step, a

291
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:22.400
very unsafe step. Really not a good idea to have

292
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.839
us two steps, in fact, two concrete steps to get

293
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:34.160
into the back door. It just I don't know, personally,

294
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.960
I think it was a bad idea and a big

295
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.680
fault in the building structure. It just wasn't It's a

296
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:46.319
nice house. It was my favorite house of all time.

297
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:50.640
And if I could live anywhere, it'd be there in

298
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:55.519
that house. You know, it'd have to be like it

299
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.279
was when my men lived there. I wouldn't change a thing.

300
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.799
I keep it the same. But unfortunately she moved out,

301
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:10.160
she had to move out, and yeah, into a care home,

302
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:14.200
and not a care home that was sheltered, the camp.

303
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:21.160
Sheltered sheltered residential accommodation is that what it's called. She

304
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:28.799
had her own flat and with I don't know how

305
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:32.799
many other people, fifty sixty hundred, I don't know, and

306
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.559
everyone had their own flats, and she'd go in as

307
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.839
you walk basically as you walk in the main thing

308
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:45.160
I think it was locked sometimes. But if you walk

309
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:51.640
in and there's this big area room where sometimes they'd

310
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.640
congregate and play big go and cricket or whatever else

311
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:04.000
hopscotch and I don't know why that's funny, and then

312
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:05.160
turn right.

313
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.000
It wasn't funny.

314
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.200
Okay, stop, I don't need this. You're not helping anymore,

315
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:18.039
not trying to. Oh it's a turn right down there, one, two, three,

316
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.799
four on the right, that was where her door was.

317
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:27.440
I couldn't tell you what number it was. I do

318
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.480
what number. I knew what I didn't look. I remember

319
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.400
the numbers of the two houses I lived in when

320
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.000
I was a kid, to two of the houses. One

321
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:45.799
was fifty six, one was nine ninety eight, Yeah, fifty

322
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:54.440
six ninety eight, but this one I don't remember. And

323
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:03.640
you go in on the left hand side, there was

324
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:12.680
a cudboard. On top of that there was was it

325
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:16.519
a cupboardal was in built? I don't know. But that's

326
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:24.279
where my nan stored shoe boxes with photographs in And

327
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:27.319
there was some photo albums up there as well, because

328
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:28.880
every now and then we get them out and have

329
00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:32.799
a little look. It'll laugh. And then she'd show me

330
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.799
she had pictures of me when I was little before,

331
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:47.960
like when I was like really little. I don't know how.

332
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.799
That's kind of a little bit confusing. I don't know

333
00:28:54.839 --> 00:29:01.480
how because this is before I was I was like

334
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:07.920
a toddler. I'm guessing when I was with the foster parents,

335
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:13.039
my nan was still visited and visiting us, maybe still

336
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.519
taking us out, and maybe my dad was I don't

337
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:21.119
really don't know, but there there were some pictures of

338
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:29.680
us where I was definitely older than a baby. Yeah,

339
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:32.559
and it was before I was too, because that's when

340
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.880
I moved to Newcastle. Anyways. Pictures of me and a

341
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:49.000
pram and stuff, and my nan and my brother, and

342
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.759
there's a few pictures of me when I was younger,

343
00:29:54.799 --> 00:30:02.759
when I was like a kid, Christmases and stuff like that.

344
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.119
Pictures of the family, Pictures of my nan when she

345
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.400
was a kid, Pictures of her when she got married,

346
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:17.240
Pictures of my granddad. My grandad looked like Clark Gable

347
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.480
seriously when he was older, I mean when he was

348
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.880
like in his fifties sixties, looked like Clark Gable, very

349
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:36.920
handsome man. I obviously take after him, and he had

350
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:42.319
a mustache. I think he had a mustache all his life.

351
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:48.000
I don't suit a mustache really. In fact, recently I've

352
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.319
been shaving. I've not had a beard for a while.

353
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:59.200
I just I'm not sure if having a gray beard

354
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:03.960
really help me in life. I just don't know if

355
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:19.400
it's advantageous on any level. You know, just see for me,

356
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.440
I look at it. I look at pictures of me

357
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:25.720
with beard. I think I look all right, But then

358
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:29.039
I see other people with exactly the same kind of

359
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:34.000
beard is what I've got, And I'm thinking, do I

360
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.680
look like that? Because sometimes it looks really scraggly. And

361
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:44.839
I don't know. I think I think beards look good

362
00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:49.519
from a distance, but as you get closer, maybe they

363
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:58.359
don't look so good. I don't know. I might just

364
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.720
I could dye my beard black and dye my hair black,

365
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:13.400
dye my eyebrows black, and dye my ear hairs black.

366
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.839
My arm hair is black. I don't know I could

367
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.640
do I'd look silly, but I could do it. I

368
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:31.960
look ridiculous. But or blonde. I used to be blonde,

369
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:42.559
I did. I think I was born blonde, but gingery,

370
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.960
I say, born blonde. I don't know if I had

371
00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:50.440
much hair when I was born. That's what reverting back

372
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:57.400
to being a baby again. Yeah, the aging process is

373
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:06.079
a little bit like that, isn't it? Turning into a babby?

374
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:08.400
So that's why I used to call them when I

375
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:12.000
was because I was lived in Newcastle, called them babby's.

376
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:15.559
I didn't know, but I didn't know what baby was.

377
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:21.960
I knew what babby was. So guys, remember that. Wow,

378
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.000
I haven't heard that turn for a long time, a

379
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:29.640
babby unless, of course, I'm don't getting it wrong. Maybe

380
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:32.920
I was just pronouncing it incorrectly.

381
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:41.039
It's baby, Jason's baby Babby Babby. Why are you talking

382
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:47.200
like that, Jason, You're twelve years old, Babby Babby?

383
00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:52.839
No, I don't know. That was weird. Yeah, that was

384
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:57.519
too weird for me. So I fall over and I

385
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:00.759
bang my knee on the floor on the concrete. I'm crying.

386
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:10.119
Where where I've heard MANGI mangey is so wow? Oh?

387
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.400
To start with, I didn't make too much noise, but

388
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:18.639
no one came, so I had to up it, you know,

389
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:25.079
I had to make it louder. And you know, after

390
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:29.360
about twenty minutes of no one taking any notice, that's

391
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:33.599
when I used my super powerful loud voice, which I

392
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:36.840
have hidden away and I'm not going to do an

393
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:41.639
impression because that would be really loud. The microphone would break.

394
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:55.880
And that's when my stepmom came running out and she tripped.

395
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.519
I think she tripped on the step, but she came out.

396
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:07.400
But the shock, I know. She picked me up and

397
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:15.239
her water broke, and it's really weird. Her water broke

398
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:17.360
and I learned to swim at the same time. It

399
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:20.719
was great. No, I think she picked me up and

400
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:26.320
then she went to the kitchen and suddenly I just

401
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:30.360
hear this splash and I'm thinking, oh, I don't have

402
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:39.239
to clear that up. And she calls for help, and

403
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:42.719
I'm thinking, what are you calling me for help? I'm

404
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:46.159
the one that needs help. I'm waiting for that plaster.

405
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:53.880
Where's the plast? Day woman? I never said that again? Wow, Oh,

406
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:57.920
but yeah, she's a I've never said that to anyone

407
00:35:57.960 --> 00:36:02.880
ever in my life. I said, man, but yeah, man,

408
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.000
white man, because I'm an old hippie in it. I

409
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.519
used to be young hippie. Now I'm an old hippie.

410
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.199
Still don't know what it means. Anyway, her waters broke,

411
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:30.800
splashed everywhere, and I actually thought that my little brother

412
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:34.280
was just going to pop out. And the only reason

413
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.360
he hadn't fallen on the floor is because she was

414
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:42.079
wearing knickers. I didn't understand that the whole process of

415
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.800
giving birth. I just figured that it just it'd come

416
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:52.159
out with the water, you know, it'd flush out. And

417
00:36:55.840 --> 00:37:01.519
the next thing I know, she's my dad said, I'm

418
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:03.360
not sure if my dad was. I think he was there,

419
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:06.360
and he comes in and saying, who made this mess?

420
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:13.480
You know, and my step one pointing to me, and

421
00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:17.000
so it's my fault. So I had to go and

422
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:20.480
get them them hopping bucket, No that happened. Someone cleared

423
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:27.800
it up. They must have done. And the two things

424
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:31.480
they had to do. First of all, they had to

425
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:36.599
leave us on our own, but they left us with

426
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.719
I think I left us. They left the neighbor looking

427
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:45.000
after us, and maybe next door that we were very

428
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.880
close with, so I say close, but we liked them.

429
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.880
They were really really nice people, so I think we

430
00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:58.039
probably stayed or maybe her mum came around and looked

431
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:02.800
after us. Who was my step name? Someone did anyway,

432
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:10.199
and they went off to hospital to have the baby.

433
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.800
And then a few hours later after they left, my

434
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:20.519
nanny granddad turned up to look after us, and they

435
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.039
were with us for about three days, three or four

436
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:29.280
days while the baby was in hospital, because the baby

437
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:33.519
was born, you know, within a few hours. I think

438
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.199
I'm partially making this up because I don't know the

439
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.840
full facts, but I think my little brother was born,

440
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:52.800
you know, fairly quick, and I think she was quite lucky.

441
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.000
She's got she had an extra large uterus. So I

442
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.480
don't know what I was saying. It just lead out,

443
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:04.800
no problems, no pain. It was just, you know, didn't

444
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:07.119
even realize she'd had baby, just like it was just

445
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.239
she was sitting there eating some corn flakes and my

446
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.199
dad popped out. It came back and my little brother

447
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:19.880
was just lying on the on the bed, sucking. It's fun.

448
00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:25.719
She didn't realize she'd give them birth. Would you believe

449
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:38.960
any of this? So that was my I remember visiting.

450
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:45.599
We couldn't visit until I think the day after, so

451
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:53.000
probably went up there on my birthday, probably to visit

452
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:58.199
the hospital. Things were a little bit different in the seventies.

453
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:02.239
It was you know, people stayed in hospital a lot

454
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.000
longer for things that you wouldn't be in hospital for

455
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.039
editing nowadays, I fact, a lot of outpatient things are

456
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:16.280
done that used to be in patient things. You know,

457
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:22.840
so things like having a baby, you can be in

458
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:26.400
and out of in a short period of time, providing

459
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:30.840
everything's gone to plan, you know. But back then she

460
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:34.719
was in hospital for about a week. I mean, I

461
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.199
know people have had their appendix out and they're out

462
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:41.199
of in about two days. I was in for at

463
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.679
least what six seven days? When I have my appendix out,

464
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:49.960
I did milk it. I loved I'd have my favorite

465
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:53.599
time of all. That was my favorite time my childhood

466
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.480
was being in hospital. That's sad, isn't it. But I

467
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:03.000
loved it. I did had the best time. And also

468
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:08.800
I was in love with Nurse Nichols. So that was

469
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:19.760
when I was about twelve though. Anyway, the most important thing, remember, yeah,

470
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:25.000
I think we spoke to my stepmom on the phone

471
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.360
and she said to me, this is like first thing

472
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.440
in the I think it was first thing on the

473
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:37.719
morning on my birthday and she says, happy birthday, Jason.

474
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:43.000
I said thanks. She said, your little brothers. Isn't your

475
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.079
little brother the best birthday present you could ever get?

476
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.840
I didn't know what to do with that. I was like, Okay,

477
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.360
I want to say yes, just to make her feel

478
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:03.719
better and to her feel that she's done something worthwhile.

479
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:16.079
One that's funny, done something that actually mad. She meant

480
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.039
something to me, which it didn't.

481
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:24.039
I didn't care. It was a novelty, to be honest.

482
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:26.719
He was a novelty when he first came along. It

483
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:28.800
was like having a pet, really, isn't it If you

484
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.159
have a new brother, like having a new kitten or

485
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.920
a new dog. The novelty's there, the novelty wears off.

486
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:39.039
It's like, yeah, I'll take him for a walk every day, promise,

487
00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:43.360
and then after three weeks, oh, she will turn to

488
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:48.760
take him out. Can't you take him out? So yeah,

489
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:50.559
that's kind of what it was like having a brother.

490
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:57.079
Plus I've already had I've got two brothers already. I

491
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:00.800
knew what to expect, and I didn't see much point

492
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:03.880
in them, So to have another one didn't seem a

493
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:07.079
lot of There was no logic in that. Really, my

494
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.400
two pointless older ones, what's the point in another new one,

495
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:14.960
a younger one. This is how I used to feel

496
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:23.440
when I was eight. And so I'm on the phone

497
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:30.039
and she's saying, yes, it's the best present you've ever had.

498
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.159
Isn't it the best birthday present you could ever get?

499
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.960
And I laughed, thinking she's joking, and she said, why

500
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.039
are you laughing? I said, oh, no, nothing, no reason,

501
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:44.000
And I just thought of a joke that I saw

502
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:46.039
in the Kenny Everette Show. She said, what was it?

503
00:43:46.760 --> 00:44:00.320
I said, it's basically he was. I don't remember. She said,

504
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.199
did you make it up? I said, no, no, it

505
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.880
did happen, and just forget what it was now. But

506
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.639
you remembered that when you were talking to me a

507
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:13.800
second ago and started laughing. In fact, you remembering it

508
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:17.840
while I was talking to you about the baby, about baby,

509
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:20.360
It wasn't the baby baby? Do you ever see that?

510
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.039
Do you hear people talk like nurses and stuff? Let's

511
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:31.039
see how baby is today? How's baby? Like? What? Learn

512
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:38.320
my name? My name's Jason, not baby, how's baby? Let's

513
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.119
wait baby? Or but you're looking forward to baby being born,

514
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:50.639
aren't you? Oh? Baby baby? I don't know. Do people

515
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:55.679
what do they call not wet nurses? What is the

516
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:03.920
nurses that help pull babies out of you know, help

517
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:12.239
with that part of it, the birth part. I don't

518
00:45:12.239 --> 00:45:19.840
know what they're called baby nurses? Them? People? So are

519
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.920
they told to use a word word baby as often

520
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:30.480
as possible, don't forget to feed baby, Like, yeah, I

521
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:34.280
think to remember that one. It's like when you're doing

522
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:38.400
a meditation, they said, don't forget to breathe. You know,

523
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:41.480
I remember saying at the times, you know what. I

524
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:48.320
actually interrupted the meditation and said, I've not been rude.

525
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:55.159
And I'm thirty one years old. I'm thirty two years old,

526
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:57.719
as you're thirty two years old. Not really relevant the age,

527
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.760
but thirty two years old. Never once have I ever

528
00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:09.159
forgotten to breathe. And the meditation teacher thought I was

529
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:14.119
being rude, rude, and I said, not being rude. It's

530
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.199
just like I don't need to be told to remember

531
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:21.960
to breeve. I've always breathed. I've never had to be

532
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:31.280
reminded to breathe. Hmm, yeah, I didn't go down well.

533
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:36.960
But anyway, baby, I said.

534
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.199
When are we going to get to see baby? When

535
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:42.880
can I meet baby? When are you bring baby home?

536
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:51.280
Baby? Anyway? Yes, So so she's saying, don't you think

537
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:55.199
that's the best birthday present you could ever have? And

538
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:59.360
I said yeah, yeah, but seriously though, she said, what

539
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:04.320
I'm actually getting a proper present are I And she laughed,

540
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:11.480
and then I thought, well, you're laughing, but it doesn't

541
00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:13.320
mean it's a yes or a no. I don't know

542
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.440
what does that mean. You laughed at the question, But

543
00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:21.079
does that mean that it's funny what I said, But

544
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.199
I'm not getting a present or that I am getting

545
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:29.480
a present because in a answer to your question, step money,

546
00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:33.440
you pooon out A new baby, a new brother is

547
00:47:33.559 --> 00:47:39.960
not my idea of a good birthday present. It's not

548
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.840
just not never will be, never has been. If anything,

549
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.719
it's an inconvenience. If anything, I think, if we're all honest,

550
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:56.400
it's spoilt my birthday. It's took the shine of my birthday.

551
00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:03.360
It's definitely taken the attention away from my birthday. And

552
00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:06.039
we all know how important the eighth birthday is for

553
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:14.480
a boy eight years old. Oh, is anyone talking about

554
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:18.880
how Jason's doing? Or it's Jason's birthday tomorrow, or it's

555
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:26.079
Jason's birthday today? Or or no, what are they talking about? Baby?

556
00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:31.719
We're talking about baby? Oh baby, how's baby doing? Because

557
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.119
of course he didn't have a name yet, baby, the

558
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:41.440
new baby, Like what about me? I used to be

559
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:47.519
the baby yesterday I was the baby. Now I'm not. Yeah,

560
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:50.719
I've only had a year of being a baby. Most

561
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:55.199
people get like a few years, or you know, get

562
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:57.559
quite a long time of being a baby, of being

563
00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:00.800
the babyish and growing up and being a loan. I

564
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:06.920
didn't get that, so come on. The reason I didn't

565
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.559
get it is because I was five when I was born.

566
00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:17.800
But luckily my real mum also had a massive We

567
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:21.320
didn't bother her. The birth didn't bother her fillopian tube

568
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:27.159
it is that the right word, filopian tube or uterusfra. Yeah,

569
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.360
she had a large urefra. So I was when I

570
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:34.800
was born. It didn't really affect her. Plus, I was

571
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:39.559
tiny when I was born. I was really very small, underdeveloped.

572
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:45.320
Still am a bit really still waiting for parts to grow.

573
00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:54.119
So my nan and granddad are looking after us. I

574
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:56.639
would talk about, you know, seeing my little brother for

575
00:49:56.679 --> 00:50:02.559
the first time, but it was completely unmemorable. Brother. It's like,

576
00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:11.199
how do people get all emotional about babies as it's

577
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.800
as if it's your own baby. I understand it, but

578
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:19.440
like as a as just another brother added on to

579
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:21.559
the ones I've already got, which I didn't want anyway.

580
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:23.920
I didn't want the ones. I didn't want the ones

581
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:26.880
I had, so I definitely didn't want another one. Yeah,

582
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:33.360
we get the idea. JJ, okay, inconvenience if anything, well,

583
00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:40.320
you know, it wasn't wasn't a special moment, and it

584
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:46.119
was like, okay, always my birthday cake didn't get to

585
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:51.119
ice it because you were too busy giving birth to

586
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:57.000
that thing. Yeah, I had a birthday cake that was

587
00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:08.039
just a sponge with some candles icing. How is that acceptable?

588
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:15.360
How is that in any way? It shouldn't be allowed.

589
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:19.599
I mean that's neglect, isn't it. I mean, oh, you're

590
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.239
having another baby? What about the ones you've got? What

591
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:24.599
about us? I know we're not your real kids, but

592
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:29.400
what anyway? What about my birthday cake? Forget that that

593
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:32.400
silly little thing you just had? What about my birthday cake?

594
00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:36.559
Had a bit of an attitude on eight, didn't. I

595
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:41.800
don't come across it's very nice? Did I back then? Oh?

596
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:44.239
Much nicer. I was much nicer by the time I

597
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:49.840
got to ten. To be fair, the next year was

598
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:53.079
all right because I just saw how much stray, not

599
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.679
getting any sleep, the effects it had on the parents.

600
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.320
I was like, yeah, that gets your back for me,

601
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:05.440
not having a proper birthday. I think they must have

602
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:09.159
aged about ten years. In the first year of having

603
00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:15.840
a baby. It was great. So I none of this

604
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:24.079
is true. I know it went visited the baby, went

605
00:52:24.079 --> 00:52:33.440
and visited the baby. And I mean even back then,

606
00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:39.159
I thought, you know what the nurses in the hospital

607
00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:43.360
that back then they used to have nurses do the

608
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:50.519
nurse's job, and now they've got care workers, care assistance,

609
00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:54.119
care workers doing the nurse's job. The nurses seemed to

610
00:52:54.119 --> 00:53:00.199
be doing the doctor's job, and the doctors just come

611
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:04.480
and go and doing whatever, probably doing the surgeonc job.

612
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:10.159
I don't know, but I couldn't. Honestly, it's amazing. If

613
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:12.440
you go to the hospital now, it's changed so much.

614
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:17.119
No one seems to be getting paid for what they're doing,

615
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:20.199
Like the level of what they're doing. The nurses are

616
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:23.320
doing so much more than they used to. The care

617
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.599
workers are doing so much more than they used to.

618
00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:31.360
It's I mean, I'm pretty sure I saw one of

619
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:47.199
the cleaners doing a heart transplant on one of the patients. Oh,

620
00:53:47.880 --> 00:53:57.920
admittedly she did get arrested. Who's only in with a

621
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:08.840
broken leg, So that was silly. I figured out because

622
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:14.400
the baby was taken into this room of other babies

623
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:18.599
and stuff, and the nurse said, oh, go and get

624
00:54:18.599 --> 00:54:22.519
your baby. Can and get baby. I can't get baby

625
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:28.440
and came in with a cot and this little scrunched

626
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:37.360
up thing, little gargoyle. The I mean, the thing is,

627
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:39.679
you know sometimes you think, oh no, but if you

628
00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:42.840
actually looked at baby and said to someone, do you

629
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:47.440
know what that's spent the last nine months underwater? You

630
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:51.079
believe munya because it looks like it's spent the last

631
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:56.639
nine months underwater without any air, without any light. I mean,

632
00:54:56.719 --> 00:55:01.320
they're basically like little sea creatures do you'd expect to

633
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:07.480
find at the bottom of a big ship. It's you

634
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:09.679
know what I mean, if you if you woke up

635
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:13.159
and okay, okay, I won't go any further. Just yeah,

636
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:16.480
babies horrible looking things.

637
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:20.800
There was there was years ago there was these baby

638
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:24.760
doll things and they look like babies and they were

639
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:30.079
the most ugliest things ever. And the reason that they

640
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:33.840
actually looked and I realized, like they look like babies,

641
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:37.039
like real babies. You know, when they're first born, all

642
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:44.239
crinkles and this, it's like they haven't become because it's

643
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:47.400
not really until they become toddlers, and then they become

644
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:51.920
like miniature humans, don't they They look like humans almost,

645
00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:59.760
but with huge heads and little bodies, so alien humans.

646
00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:02.719
But but you know, gradually they grow into their head,

647
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:05.480
don't they by the time they get to about seven

648
00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:12.079
or eight, maybe nine. I mean, that head's so big

649
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:18.239
and the eyes like et it's ridiculous. The eyes are bigger.

650
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:21.119
Than their head. I mean, how is that even possible?

651
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:23.440
How can an eye be bigger than the head it's in.

652
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:30.320
I mean, the eyes are definitely bigger than his mouth.

653
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:35.639
His eyes wouldn't even fit in his mouth. I'm not

654
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:38.559
I didn't try. I'm saying it's just such a weird

655
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:44.519
kind of organism and it was a mess. But I

656
00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:48.360
started thinking, well, how do you know that this is

657
00:56:48.519 --> 00:56:52.719
the baby bear? In the mind? You called and ward them? Baby?

658
00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:57.239
No one's got a name yet, so because this is

659
00:56:57.280 --> 00:57:00.559
back in the days when people didn't they'd wait days

660
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:04.440
before giving a name to a kid. I've got a

661
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:10.039
name straight away, but said I recommended it, and they

662
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:13.320
didn't go for it. My mom was bastard, but no

663
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:18.039
or another one was you ruined our birthday. But they

664
00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:20.800
didn't want that either. They said, that's a sentence. I said, no,

665
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.800
if you put it all together, I said, no, you

666
00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:26.639
can't have a word that's really long like that. I said,

667
00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:30.079
if you've never been to India, they have names that

668
00:57:30.159 --> 00:57:33.960
are like longer than the alphabet, some of their names,

669
00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:38.679
or Thailand, it's like, honestly, some of the names are

670
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:42.840
so long. And she said that's border on racism. I said, no,

671
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:46.320
it's not bordering on race. It's actually true. Look it up,

672
00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:51.039
look it up. I know that you've lost a lot

673
00:57:51.039 --> 00:57:53.760
of blood and a lot of liquid given birth and that,

674
00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:56.880
but I mean when you pulled him out, did you

675
00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:01.159
pull out your own brain as well? Apparently that's the

676
00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:03.960
line you shouldn't cross with your parents and say stuff

677
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:04.320
like that.

678
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:15.719
Oh dear, that's so ridiculous what I'm saying today.

679
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:19.079
I don't mean any of it. I'm just in a

680
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:25.519
weird mood. But yeah, god, he was ugly anyway, horrible,

681
00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:31.880
And I just thought, do they just randomly just dis

682
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:34.519
grabbed the first baby that they see and bring it

683
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.320
in because they all look the same, How did they

684
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:43.079
tell the difference? Oh he's so pretty, Oh it's so

685
00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:47.400
beautiful my little baby. No he's not. No, offense. But no,

686
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:54.039
they look they're just crinkled. I don't know how to

687
00:58:54.079 --> 00:59:00.400
explain that. Don't look much different to like newborn mice.

688
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:05.159
There's that look of like a little crinkled and or

689
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:08.599
a little puppy or a little cat like really you know,

690
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:11.800
newborn where they've got no hair and they just basically

691
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:16.480
just pink. The difference is with a puppy they grow

692
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:20.440
very quick, and a cat does as well. Humans I

693
00:59:21.039 --> 00:59:28.679
still look like that, still pink and bored. It's no fear.

694
00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:33.960
So yeah, babies are good. It's brilliant and so happy.

695
00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:38.719
When he was born, it changed my life. It did

696
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:45.800
change my life actually because he stayed in the house.

697
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:48.960
Obviously we had to have him in the house. I mean,

698
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:52.280
unfortunately they brought him home. I thought it was just

699
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:54.280
going to be that like send him off for adoption

700
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:57.599
like they did me. But no, they brought him back

701
00:59:58.519 --> 01:00:05.280
and he stayed in my dad's room, their parents' room

702
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:11.159
for probably about six months, so I still had my

703
01:00:11.239 --> 01:00:14.800
bedroom was right next to their bedroom. Now I was tired.

704
01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:18.159
I think he used to keep the baby like wake

705
01:00:18.239 --> 01:00:21.880
me up and stuff. So it wasn't ideal because it

706
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:23.760
was a small house. There's no way to get away

707
01:00:23.760 --> 01:00:31.960
from the screaming, and my brothers complained about it. My

708
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:36.079
dad wasn't happy with it. Eventually sat me down and

709
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:40.119
asked me to stop screaming, so I stopped. It's a

710
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:46.800
joking there somewhere, And eventually we had to move out

711
01:00:46.800 --> 01:00:54.800
of there because he needed his own room. So he

712
01:00:54.880 --> 01:01:00.760
moved out into a big house and we all had

713
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:03.119
our own rooms, and that's where it all kind of

714
01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:07.679
went wrong from there, really, But that was the nicest

715
01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:09.639
house I ever lived in, that little house where my

716
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:16.599
nanny Grant had then moved in as well. The weird

717
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:20.679
thing about my brother though, so of once he sort

718
01:01:20.679 --> 01:01:26.880
of developed kind of a likeness to human, to a human,

719
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:32.000
you know, he kind of had facial expressions and he looked, Yeah,

720
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:35.360
he looked human. It was probably a toddler at this point.

721
01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:41.000
He's kept exactly the same face the whole life, his

722
01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:44.199
whole life. And you might think, well, yeah, everyone does,

723
01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:49.440
unless you have surgery. Like, no, I look nothing like

724
01:01:49.599 --> 01:01:52.599
how I looked when I was a kid, not even

725
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:56.360
when I was fifteen, not even when I was eight twelve,

726
01:01:57.480 --> 01:01:59.840
not even when I was twenty. I don't look the same.

727
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:07.039
He looks exactly the same. He looks older, of course,

728
01:02:07.239 --> 01:02:10.760
I'm it'd be weird. And when he was two he

729
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:16.760
looked forty seven, that would be strange. But he's still

730
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:21.960
got the same features, still looks the same, same facial expression,

731
01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:27.280
my remover. I mean, he's got more than one facial expression.

732
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:33.199
I'm sure I've seen at least two. So it's he's

733
01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:38.559
ruined my birthday, man, I mean eighth birthdays, it's supposed

734
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.960
to be a special occasion. But what I did do

735
01:02:42.159 --> 01:02:44.159
I'll give you the next part of the story tomorrow.

736
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:48.760
Actually i'll tell you about presents and stuff. But on

737
01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:55.719
my actual birthday, I did get some golf clubs, like

738
01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:59.440
a put in set, but there weren't no crappy thing.

739
01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:07.000
These are like heavy steal golf clubs, and they were good.

740
01:03:07.199 --> 01:03:09.480
They were heavy. They were good, really like probably about

741
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:18.119
heavy as I was actually, And I don't remember what

742
01:03:18.159 --> 01:03:23.079
else I got, but I think we was in the

743
01:03:23.159 --> 01:03:27.519
garden and I was trying to I was trying to

744
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:34.480
enjoy my birthday. But things felt like they'd changed, you know.

745
01:03:35.960 --> 01:03:38.880
It's almost like I was turning. I was turned into

746
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:45.840
an adult. And I suppose I knew that things were

747
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:50.039
never going to be the same again, because when they

748
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:52.400
came back, they were going to have this little alien

749
01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:57.559
with them. They're going to give it all this attention, which,

750
01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:00.960
as I said, is fun for the first couple of days,

751
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:06.000
maybe three or four days even. I don't know how

752
01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:10.039
people may make that kind of how to keep the

753
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.639
interest up, I don't know. I guess it's just lucky.

754
01:04:13.679 --> 01:04:17.119
I never became a parent, I suppose, but they managed

755
01:04:17.159 --> 01:04:24.360
to keep interest. And it's got to be boring, in't it.

756
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:34.440
So it's like what it does is just cry, go

757
01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:39.239
to the toilet and cry, and sleep and go to

758
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:45.079
the toilet and sleep whilst going to the toilet. You know,

759
01:04:45.159 --> 01:04:48.599
it's just it's this. There's not a lot of points

760
01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:51.920
to them, is there. I mean, if that was a gift,

761
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:54.360
if someone gave you a gift and that's all it did,

762
01:04:55.239 --> 01:05:00.400
pooed and cried and slept, you'd give it back. Say no, oats,

763
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:08.039
can I change this? Please? Could I? Yeah? Can I

764
01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:13.320
have a television? Yeah? Can I? Yeah? Thanks? I'd like

765
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:18.599
something different. This isn't No, it's not all I ever

766
01:05:18.639 --> 01:05:23.360
hoped it would be. All it does is just cry

767
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:33.800
and pooh and sleep. How's that supposed to be fun. No, no,

768
01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:37.880
I want to give it back you. Okay, well, have

769
01:05:37.960 --> 01:05:41.599
you got a different one? Can I Can I exchange

770
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.679
it for a different baby when it doesn't make so

771
01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:49.480
much noise? And if you've got any of that pooh

772
01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:51.480
a little bit. They don't pooh much, you know, just

773
01:05:51.559 --> 01:06:07.679
a small amount. Okay, we'll take it back. Then. I

774
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:09.360
don't know how long it was before they gave him

775
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.000
a name. I didn't like any of my suggestions. As

776
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:22.960
I've already said, birthday ruiner. So yeah, ruined my birthday,

777
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:31.519
my eighth birthday. And then see it was never never

778
01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:34.119
really like growing up from then on to the age

779
01:06:34.119 --> 01:06:38.239
of fifteen, we did celebrate birthdays. And that's the one

780
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:41.800
really you know thing I can never take away from

781
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:47.519
my dad and his wife at the time. They really

782
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:51.119
went all out for birthdays, Christmases things like that. Really did.

783
01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:54.639
Couldn't ask some more, and well I could ask some

784
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:58.480
all is to not have a baby brother, But I'm

785
01:06:58.480 --> 01:07:01.519
going to send him a happy birthday tech after doing this,

786
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:05.599
I'll just spend the hour slagging him off. But yeah,

787
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:09.360
I will. I will say happy birthday. BROV. Please don't

788
01:07:09.400 --> 01:07:12.559
listen to my podcast please.

789
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:14.360
Please don't.

790
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:20.519
And sunny jokes, sony silliness, just a bit of h

791
01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:27.159
in it, and ah, just messing about that's all, nothing serious,

792
01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:34.320
just having a laugh. So yeah, but it did. It

793
01:07:34.400 --> 01:07:37.000
did with my birthday, but in reality it did. But

794
01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:40.760
it also kind of it was nice to have my

795
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:49.119
birthday not directly after the day of my brother's birthday.

796
01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:51.199
You know, it's nice to have a few a little

797
01:07:51.199 --> 01:07:56.320
bit of time in between birthdays. So it's almost like

798
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:00.159
it'd be a big celebration for him and then to

799
01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:04.920
be a celebration for me on my birthday. But it

800
01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:09.199
was kind of eclipsed by him because he was clearly

801
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:14.760
the most important child in the world. I was like, Okay,

802
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:21.720
if he really is that important, then shouldn't he be.

803
01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:24.640
I mean, honestly, it's like he was a second coming

804
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:28.800
or something. I just thought, God, this is ridiculous. It

805
01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:30.880
makes such a big thing. He can't even read yet.

806
01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:33.479
I mean, we don't know if he's going to start

807
01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:37.039
preaching and stuff like that when he gets older, healing people.

808
01:08:37.079 --> 01:08:39.600
We don't know. He can't read yet. Well, he's still

809
01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:42.680
he's still dribbling, and you know, it's hot. He won't

810
01:08:42.680 --> 01:08:46.159
even eat his food about spitting it out everywhere, which

811
01:08:46.199 --> 01:08:49.159
I do agree was quite funny that he did that,

812
01:08:52.800 --> 01:08:59.720
But yeah, he spoil my birthday. And I sometimes felt

813
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:05.439
that because we had this ceremony thing where we'd go

814
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:09.119
into no sacrifices or anything, just like that kind of ceremony.

815
01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:12.520
We'll go into the people's birth into their bedrooms and

816
01:09:12.960 --> 01:09:16.840
sort of seeing happy birthday, all that stuff, and give

817
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:20.560
them presents. And it was lovely. It was really lovely,

818
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.720
and I'm just joking about but it was nice. But

819
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:28.159
I got the sense that everyone was birthdayed out by

820
01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:32.640
the end of the twenty fifth and then my birthday

821
01:09:32.720 --> 01:09:36.439
was in twenty six and it didn't seem as if

822
01:09:36.479 --> 01:09:42.479
the energy was there. I can imagine it's like going

823
01:09:42.560 --> 01:09:46.159
to see someone performing in the theater, but they're doing

824
01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:50.239
two shows, one at five o'clock and then one at

825
01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:58.560
eight o'clock, and maybe feels like you've gone to the

826
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:01.640
last show, the second show, and they were a bit

827
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:05.920
they were a bit tired, perhaps a little bit bored.

828
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:09.279
Maybe they don't really feel in the mood to do

829
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:17.079
a second show. Maybe perhaps the audience just that they

830
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:18.640
just wanted to be over and done with, so they

831
01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:22.039
can go home. I felt a little bit of that

832
01:10:22.119 --> 01:10:30.720
lackluster sometimes, but that was just from my parents, my brothers.

833
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:32.479
I mean, they were just there because I had to be,

834
01:10:34.239 --> 01:10:36.720
not when none of us liked each other. So it

835
01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:40.359
was a case of like, Okay, here we go again, people,

836
01:10:40.359 --> 01:10:47.079
birthday two. It's just going through the like like wrote wrote,

837
01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:54.720
isn't it just going through the rock? The whatever? Going

838
01:10:55.039 --> 01:11:09.720
through going through happy Birthday two? It was nice, though

839
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:14.000
it got a bit weird when I got older. Don't

840
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:17.840
want to kind of hit teenage years. It wasn't so

841
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:22.279
much like bursting in happy birthday, you know, everyone burst in.

842
01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:25.760
It's more like, knock on the door, Jason, knock on

843
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:28.199
the door again. We're going to come in and surprise

844
01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:35.039
you a birthday presence. Are you awake, are you dressed? Yeah,

845
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:39.119
you've got a big clothes over you. Okay, we're going

846
01:11:39.199 --> 01:11:47.800
to come in one and accounted one hundred, one, two, three,

847
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:53.720
four five. And then they'd come in and they'd be like, oh, surprise,

848
01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:58.600
Well I pretend I was asleep. You know. It just

849
01:11:58.600 --> 01:12:02.800
says I'm walking into me kind of looking like I've

850
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:11.600
sitting underneath a tent on the bedclothes over so yeah,

851
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:19.840
that was good. Yeah, I liked I liked birthdays. But

852
01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:24.079
for me, the main thing about birthdays was the presence,

853
01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:30.239
and it always was, I'll be honest, that's what it

854
01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:37.760
was about. It wasn't really bothered about the attention, you know,

855
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:42.560
have an attention on me. What it wasn't always. I

856
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.560
mean it was positive attention. But you know, throughout the

857
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:48.600
year learned that I try and stay in the background.

858
01:12:49.119 --> 01:12:51.840
Don't want attention on me because then you don't know

859
01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:54.880
what's going to come up. I don't know what you know,

860
01:12:54.920 --> 01:12:57.840
what subject is going to be arisen. So I just like, okay,

861
01:12:58.520 --> 01:13:02.239
it's yeah, I like it, but let's just focus on

862
01:13:02.279 --> 01:13:08.439
something else now while I play with my new toys. Yeah,

863
01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:13.239
I did like. I like getting gifts. That's what birthdays

864
01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:26.279
are about. Yeah, it's been a long time since I don't. Yeah,

865
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:31.840
I have had presents, but it's hardly I mean, I've

866
01:13:31.880 --> 01:13:36.319
got two birthday cards that I've been given, which is nice.

867
01:13:37.920 --> 01:13:45.119
So I've received those Thursday, I think, and that's for

868
01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:48.960
my dad and my brother and that's it. So two

869
01:13:49.000 --> 01:13:57.680
birthday cards for this year. It's not that I want thousands,

870
01:13:57.760 --> 01:13:59.720
but you know, a couple of hundred to be nice,

871
01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:08.600
just a couple of hundred, even one hundred and eighty six.

872
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:15.079
You know, I don't want much, and this is a

873
01:14:15.119 --> 01:14:17.039
fifty pound no in each one as well, you know

874
01:14:17.439 --> 01:14:22.640
a part of them. Now, I don't want much. No, no,

I don't know now now, now, now, now, now, And

876
01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:35.600

01:14:35.680 --> 01:14:43.640
rubbish for about seventy five minutes, and I don't know

878
01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:49.399
