00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:11.400
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. This is Trivia Tuesday.

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:21.480
Did did Trivia? Ju Day? My name's Jason Newland. Please

3
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.519
only listen when you can safely close your eyes, because

4
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.200
this is let me bore you to sleep recording which

5
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:41.119
might bore you, which may result in your alid's getting heavy, falling,

6
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:49.920
sleep deeply sleep. I hope you will. Just let you know.

7
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.359
I have a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group.

8
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.399
There is a link on my website. I have a

9
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:01.240
YouTube channel at Jason Newland where all my latest podcast

10
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:07.920
episodes are released, and my podcasts are also available on

11
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:16.040

is available on my website Jasonnewland dot com. So today

15
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:46.840
is Tuesday, the tenth of June two thousand and twenty five.

16
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.920
I wasn't really sure what I was going to do

17
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.560
as far as trivia's what kind of subject could talk

18
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:08.240
about today? And then I thought, hmmm, I do something

19
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.919
a little bit more I don't know, silly, maybe a

20
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.960
little bit more just But no, I don't generally go

21
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.400
heavy with it anyway, but just a bit gentle. So

22
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.199
I'm gonna I'm going to do. I'm going to focus

23
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:32.639
on famous inventions that fell flat. So basically inventions that

24
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.159
were supposed to be really good and they were released

25
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:45.120
to the public and the public said no, thanks, no, no,

26
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.639
you're okay, I'm stepping back, see you later, take your

27
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.560
invention with you, Thank you very much, that kind of thing.

28
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.879
So I'd say, it's been a nice day to day.

29
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.280
This morning, I went out with my coat on because

30
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.599
it was overcast, it was windy. It had been raining

31
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:19.159
pretty much all day yesterday, and it wasn't It wasn't warm,

32
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:25.039
but it wasn't cold and it wasn't raining. So I

33
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.159
went out this afternoon. I'm normally try and take him

34
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.919
out a few times a day. Went out this afternoon

35
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.080
just with my cardigan on, thinking it should be warm

36
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.680
enough with the cardigan hopefully it won't rain. But if

37
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.199
it does rain and stuff to come home. I won't

38
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.479
wear my coat because I wore it earlier and it

39
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.599
didn't rain. But that's the reason it didn't rain. I

40
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.240
don't think my coat had anything to do with it.

41
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:06.439
I'm not stupid. Dishous like that, like otherwise, Well, I

42
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.120
was going to saild wear my court all the time

43
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:09.879
to stop it raining. But then there'd be a drought,

44
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.240
wouldn't there. That wouldn't be good for the world. So

45
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.879
I went out with my jumper, my cardigan. It was

46
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.040
too hot, too hot. I was a little bit sweaty.

47
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.839
There was a little puddle building up, you know, down there.

48
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.720
I was like, oh, this is weird because I didn't

49
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:39.079
expect it to be warm, but it was and windy.

50
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.519
So threw me off a little bit because I was thinking,

51
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.120
hmm earlier on a few hours ago, I was internally

52
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.959
having a little bit of a moon Call this a summer,

53
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.879
do you This is supposed to be June. This isn't summer.

54
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:04.279
It's cloudy and potentially rainy. I have to wear a coat,

55
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.639
but I didn't. I didn't have to wear a coat.

56
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.079
I didn't have to wear a jumper or a cardigan.

57
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.920
And then I went out later that's six is I

58
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.639
don't know whatever time it was. Warn my cardigan at

59
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.079
this point because I thought, well, it's not going to

60
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:29.319
be warm now, not now. If anything, it was warmer

61
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.360
than it was earlier. Everyone's walking around in shorts and

62
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.240
T shirts. Not everyone. Well, I don't know if everyone.

63
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.319
I'm not looking at the I'm just just saying that are

64
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.560
people around. I was the only one with a jumper on,

65
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.800
and we're not the only one in the world, but

66
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.040
just saying, like, I didn't see many people dressed as

67
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:05.240
thoroughly prepared or change in the weather. You know. Everyone

68
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.000
was just like, oh, it's sunny, let's all wear T shirts.

69
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.879
And I was again, I was like, oh, this is

70
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.600
a bit hot. And someone did ask me, a dog

71
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.120
walker said, how can you got a jumper on? I says,

72
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.720
not jumper, it's a cardigan. See the zip difference. She said,

73
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.360
that's not really relevant. Why you got there? Why are

74
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:40.360
you wearing that? I said, because the weather is not

75
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:45.319
synchronized with my body. And she says, well, what do

76
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.439
you mean the weather? She didn't sound like that, she said,

77
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.439
which I guess she meant, what does it mean? What

78
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:59.160
do you mean? I said, well, the weather says T

79
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.759
shirt weather. Okay, the wether says wear a T shirt,

80
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.040
but my body says, don't wear a T shirt. Wear

81
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:13.319
some cover up. So we laughed. So the first one

82
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:24.279
is QCAT bar code scanner QCAT bar code scanner designed

83
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:30.759
to connect print ads to websites in two thousand, but

84
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:37.439
fizzled within a year due to lack of interest. Designed

85
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.639
to connect print ads to websites. I don't even understand

86
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:49.319
really what that concept is. Maybe that's the problem. Okay.

87
00:07:49.759 --> 00:08:05.800
Number two b Tomac's video format. I'm offended by that

88
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:12.560
because this is wrong. Beat Max video format offered better

89
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.319
picture quality than the VHS in the nineteen seventies but

90
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.879
lost the format war. Okay, yeah, they did lose the

91
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.319
format war, but it was in the eighties. It wasn't

92
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.519
in the seventies. It was in the eighties. Get it right, baby,

93
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.560
get it right. I remember it might have been the

94
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.960
late seventies. No, it was the early eighties. I'm sure

95
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:44.360
it was. We had all three, so the best one,

96
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:49.919
if I remember, Horrorce is back. I am planning to

97
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.200
try and take a picture of Horace the Pigeon and

98
00:08:55.080 --> 00:09:02.200
post it on my Facebook page. Can you hear him?

99
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:08.399
If it's visited me about five times today? The window

100
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.600
is open, so I'm wondering if he wants to come

101
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.919
in and say hi. I'm not sure if that's a

102
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:20.960
good idea. I don't know. If Finny would, I'm not sure.

103
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.840
I don't know. I think he would be happy, but

104
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:30.279
probably in the wrong kind of way. Oh, a new toy. No.

105
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.919
So my memory of video recorders or video players rather

106
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.000
was the early eighties, or maybe they were around in

107
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:50.320
the late seventies. It was the I think it was

108
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.840
just Sony. I think it was Sony, but it was

109
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.360
two thousand series and you could record on both sides

110
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.440
and it was like four hours each side something like that.

111
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:09.759
They were long. And then Betmax took over. They became

112
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.279
the front runner, and then there was a period when

113
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:21.519
Betamax and VHS pretty much went side by side, and

114
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.919
the videotapes, as far as I remember, was the same

115
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:40.960
for both. But again I might be wrong there. Maybe

116
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.960
the bet Max tapes were different. Definitely the two thousand

117
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:53.759
series was it Sony. They were definitely a larger tape.

118
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.919
It was a different kind of tape size. I thought

119
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.919
that BMX was the same as VHS, but thinking about it,

120
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.120
I think be Max might have been a bit chunkier.

121
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.039
But we had all three, not at the same time.

122
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.240
I think there was a period when we had both

123
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:17.639
VHS and Beta Max. Because we had videos. We might

124
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.879
have also kept the other one as well, because we

125
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:25.840
had videos of stuff that we'd say we that my

126
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:31.919
dad had taped off the TV and he had a

127
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.120
draw Wow, I remember the draw I think he's still

128
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.320
got that set of drawers. And in the bottom it

129
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:49.000
was full of videotapes and every James Bond movie was

130
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.600
on there. None of them were purchased, None of them

131
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.000
were like in them days in the like I don't

132
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.720
want to say late seventies, but early eighties, the to

133
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:12.039
buy a videotape was expensive, like really expensive to actually

134
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:17.159
buy one. They didn't sell them in the shops, you know,

135
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.320
you couldn't as far as I remember. They weren't available

136
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:25.840
to buy in the shops. It was really renting or

137
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:32.759
you taped off the telly. And so he had my

138
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:42.159
dad had every single James Bond movie all marked off,

139
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:48.679
you know, you old like that little white stripper on

140
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.159
the front of it or whatever that he'd write down

141
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.440
what the film was, and you never put James Bond

142
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.120
because we knew that that was the only thing that

143
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.919
he really liked. We did have Enter the Dragon as well,

144
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.000
the Bruce Lee film that was more for me.

145
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:13.200
And the weird thing about it is every single Christmas

146
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:19.120
and every single Easter, and also other weekends.

147
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.360
Throughout the year. There would be old James Bond movies on,

148
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.679
especially at Christmas, but there'd also be other stuff on,

149
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.600
things that we're not seen before, things that we perhaps

150
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.000
all wanted to watch, but nope, we had to watch

151
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:47.200
the James Bond movie. So my dad would be there

152
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.360
in his recliner watching. We didn't even watch it. He

153
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.679
fell asleep within about ten minutes, but guaranteed if you

154
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.639
turned it off he turned it over to another channel,

155
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.000
he'd wake up straight away. It's like he was asleep,

156
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:08.480
but he wasn't asleep. I tried to say, like try

157
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:12.080
to reason with him, like, come on, why are we

158
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:18.200
watching Diamonds off forever? When you have the videotape in

159
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.759
the draw next to you. You can watch it anytime.

160
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:30.960
I want to watch it now now never. Kind just

161
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.600
didn't understand, couldn't really get my head around it. But

162
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.159
he loves James Bond movies. I did actually buy him

163
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.639
a DVD collection of all the James Bond movies, long

164
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.440
to put it out twenty years ago. Pulled the ones

165
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:54.759
up to that point anyway, And I remember going around

166
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.799
I think I stayed in the bedroom whatever a few

167
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.559
years later, and I hadn't even unpacked it, still in plastic.

168
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:04.360
I hadn't touched it. I'm never going to look at

169
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.399
it because it's He's just gonna wait till they're on TV,

170
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:11.200
and that's it. Wait till her on TV and watch them.

171
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.840
You're not gonna not gonna watch them on DVD. That's

172
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.240
his way. But then sometimes I'm a little bit like that.

173
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:26.120
You know, if I see something that I could just watch,

174
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.120
I could stream it, but it's just happens to be

175
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:36.080
on Telly. Sometimes I watch it on Telly. There's not

176
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:40.360
really any logic to it, really, I guess, other than

177
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:44.960
maybe it's like a little surprise, like, oh, look that

178
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:57.000
thing's on, I'll watch it. Oh yeah, that VHS did

179
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:00.799
take over from Beta Max. I who we just used

180
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.759
to call it beta Beta Max was the correct term,

181
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:16.840
but just beta beta Beta. I can almost remember the

182
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.919
like the logo as well. I'd say what we used

183
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:31.679
to do, I'd say we wasn't me, but there used

184
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:36.240
to be programs on quite late at night, or maybe

185
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:42.519
it was on the other side. When It's kind of

186
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.360
ironic really, because my dad would want to watch James Bond,

187
00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.720
so we would record the program that we wanted to watch,

188
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.720
so that would also be on a tape. So both

189
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.879
the programs, the program that we wanted to watch would

190
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.679
be now on videotape, and a movie that he was

191
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:07.599
watching was already on videotape. It's a very strange scenario.

192
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.160
There was a couple of TV shows that were really long.

193
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:22.720
One was The Thornbirds, one was North and South, one

194
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:31.680
was Shogun. Yeah, Thornbirds and Shogun was Richard Chamberlain. North

195
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:37.480
and South was Patrick Swayze. And these were early eighties

196
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.640
and they were quite big epic series that went on

197
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:50.839
for hours and hours and hours. Really each episode was

198
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.000
very long. It was like a full length movie. Each

199
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.799
longer in fact, I think like six seven hours long.

200
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:07.079
So maybe exaggerating, possibly there was a really strange show

201
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.839
because I should like these shows, because it wasn't really

202
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.279
in all honesty, I don't think it's really aimed at me.

203
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.240
I don't mean me personally. Yeah, I think there was

204
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.559
a bunch of rights thinking, right, well, little Jason is ten,

205
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:28.240
what can we produce for him? How about a soldier

206
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:34.279
that gets stranded on an island in Japan and he

207
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:40.079
learns to be a samurai. How about that? Yeah? Or

208
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:45.000
what about a love affair between two married people? Or

209
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.799
all about what about the Civil War? That would be

210
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:51.640
a ten year old would love to watch that. That's

211
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.680
about the Civil War, the First Civil War. Like, no,

212
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:01.960
but it probably wasn't aimed at me. But I did

213
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.799
like watching it. I think it was because I was

214
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:09.559
with my stepmom and I kind of liked what she liked,

215
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:17.519
and I kind of really was more influenced by her,

216
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.039
probably in reality, probably more influenced by her than anyone

217
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:27.880
else in my childhood. During my childhood period, she had

218
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.240
more influence over me, and in a positive way. I

219
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.720
kind of wanted to I spent time with her. I

220
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:39.960
learned how to talk, not how to talk, but how

221
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:46.160
to have conversations because of her, because we would talk

222
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.559
and she'd tell me stuff, and you know, I learned.

223
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:57.599
I suppose I learned how to communicate with her. Yeah,

224
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.799
I don't know. I just wanted to be just like

225
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:07.079
being with her, like being Yeah. I just liked being

226
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.519
with her, as simple as that. Really, nothing weird about

227
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:14.799
that is a I just liked. I didn't want to

228
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:20.640
be her. I don't want to be like her. No,

229
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.200
I just suppose I did want to be like her.

230
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.000
I wanted to be because she was friendly, she was popular,

231
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.119
she's people used to like to stop and chat to her,

232
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.400
and I thought I didn't have anything to say to them,

233
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.559
and I'd just be standing around board. But I would

234
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.759
sort of think, why how do you do that? How

235
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:54.440
do you keep a conversation going? Yeah, I learned as

236
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:56.480
I got older, But you know, there there were times

237
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.200
when I be talking to someone even in my twenties,

238
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:04.519
and I just what thirties as well, and forties and

239
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.799
fifties probably, But there's been times it happens less, but

240
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:16.559
then I have less opportunity for it to happen. But

241
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.559
there's been times when I've been talking to someone, there's

242
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:25.359
one on one conversation and I just run out of words,

243
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:35.000
got nothing else. And I think sometimes that happens when

244
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:42.599
people ask me questions about myself like I do I

245
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.319
I'd say probably. You know, obviously I like talking about

246
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:51.119
myself because I do it every day, but I don't

247
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:59.200
have that interest in other people that is required in

248
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:05.079
order for for the conversation to work, because conversation is

249
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.799
reciprocal isn't it. It's not just one sided why it

250
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.119
would be a monologue, which is kind of what I do.

251
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:16.480
I suppose and I can talk to people, but I

252
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:25.680
don't generally I might ask questions, but I'm generally not

253
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:32.319
interested because someone say, always you don't. But there's a

254
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.200
benefit to that. I don't know what it means, but

255
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.480
there is a benefit of not being particularly interested. Is

256
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:43.079
I'm also not particularly judging them either. I just take

257
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.039
people as they come, just take it just like, okay,

258
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:51.119
that's how you are, and don't get too involved in

259
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:58.359
your life, and it's fine. I quite like knowing people,

260
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.880
maybe in that capacity where it's just I mean, some

261
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:08.759
would maybe argue, say, well, it's very flimsy, or it's

262
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.440
very out what a correct word would be, not very deep,

263
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:19.000
very transparent, or maybe there is a word that I

264
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:27.720
can't think of right now. However, I would say that

265
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.559
even people are going to walk around the park with

266
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.400
or see in the park, I have some pretty deep

267
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:39.440
conversations sometimes talk about some very serious subjects. People tell

268
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.519
me about their lives and tell me about what's going

269
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:49.200
on with them, maybe health stuff. So yeah, I'm I

270
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:54.720
don't delve. But sometimes people just open up, and I

271
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:57.960
don't judge them either way. If they want to just

272
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.519
mention how cold is or if they want to talk

273
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:06.799
about someone that had lost you know, either way, it's

274
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:12.799
fine with me. I'm not really sure where I'm going

275
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.920
with that. That's what's they got to do with famous inventions? Famous?

276
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.440
What's the word shallow? What I was looking for? Am

277
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:28.759
I just a shallow person? Possibly? Ed Cell car? Now

278
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:30.839
some of you might know what this is. I don't.

279
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:36.160
I know what car is, but ed Cell car. So

280
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:43.640
it's a heavily marketed car in nineteen fifty seven, but

281
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:49.720
widely panned and considered a major flop. No, I do

282
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.799
remember that. I remember hearing about it. It was like

283
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:58.039
a really bad car. Apparently no one liked it, but

284
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.359
they they went ahead with it anyway, but no one

285
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:08.000
liked it. I'm indifferent because I wasn't born. Number four

286
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:16.799
McDonald's Arch Deluxe launched in the nineteen nineties as a

287
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.440
grown up burger. And that's a bit rude, isn't it

288
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:26.240
a grown up burger? It failed to resonate with the consumers,

289
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.000
of course it is if you tell if you're telling that,

290
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:32.000
they're kids telling all the adults eating burgers like was

291
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.000
up till now you're just kids and if you don't,

292
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.079
if you want to be a grown up, you should

293
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:42.359
eat this deluxe arch thing. People don't like being told off.

294
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.240
I just want to come just to get some fat

295
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:54.640
in anybody. I'm not not just yeah see yeah, McDonald's.

296
00:25:55.319 --> 00:26:02.240
That's it. Double Google Glass Consumer Version. I actually saw

297
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.759
an advert when I saw video on YouTube about that.

298
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:11.400
There's a different thing, Google Glass Consumer Version, initially hyped

299
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:20.400
as wearable tech, but abandoned due to privacy and usability concerns. Okay,

300
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.759
I don't know much about that. I know that Google

301
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.400
will have got a whole load of news stuff coming out,

302
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:33.640
including Google Glass TV, and they've got this thing where

303
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:39.400
there's a camera above it and to the side, and

304
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.279
it's almost like a three D screen and you can

305
00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:48.119
communicate with someone, I guess over a lot online. But

306
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.000
it's a big screen and you can see them and

307
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:54.400
it looks very real and it looks like the hands

308
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:57.599
coming out of TV. And I just saw and they

309
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:01.839
did this demonstration that the man from Google had this.

310
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:05.759
I don't think he was like a YouTuber. Come in

311
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.319
and sit down. He said, well, just look at that screen.

312
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.559
I'm going to go into the other room and we

313
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.319
can talk. And that's what they did. And I was

314
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:21.279
just thinking, maybe it wasn't another screen, Maybe he wasn't

315
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.519
in another room. Maybe there was a hole in the

316
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:28.119
wall behind the TV and they just turned the screen

317
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.559
on him. He was just sitting there. That's why it

318
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.759
looked so realistic. And I thought, how funny because it

319
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.440
was at one point he was eating an apple. I

320
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:39.359
thought how funny it would be if the apple fell

321
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.319
out of his hand, that fell onto the table and

322
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:47.559
gave the whole thing away, or the person that was

323
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.680
there on the other side might think, wow, this is

324
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:54.000
so realistic. The apple fell on the table. BlimE me

325
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:58.400
so But that wasn't that. It was actually a real thing.

326
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:08.680
But it's like, wow. The problem with that is maybe

327
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.480
I could do that. I don't like. I don't do

328
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.319
video calling. I don't do it. I don't, I don't,

329
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:25.480
I don't. And what I've noticed is I was on oh,

330
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:32.240
what's it called? Not crap? What's what's it called the

331
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:37.359
what's crap? I call it WhatsApp? I was on WhatsApp

332
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.240
and I come out of it. I don't like it,

333
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:44.240
and I started having What it gives people opportunity is

334
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.039
to make phone calls even if they don't have Let's

335
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.480
say they've got to pay as you go phone and

336
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.880
they've got no credit, but they could still make phone

337
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.880
calls off of Wi Fi. So if they tap into

338
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.400
a friend's Wi Fi, they can make phone calls, which

339
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.720
is good, unless, of course, that person's phoning me up

340
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:09.319
for money, so yeah, not so good. So I had

341
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.480
a few people be calling me up sometimes trying to

342
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:20.039
do like a live stream, like a video thing, Like

343
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:24.519
I don't do video thing. Don't do it. My Dad's

344
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:28.039
tried to do it in the past, I know, but

345
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:34.880
it's Christmas, Like, I don't care. I can't. It's like, look, Dad,

346
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.799
if you did the video, then you realize everyone in

347
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.759
the room would realize that I was on the toilet.

348
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.960
He said, well, get off the toilet. Maybe I said no,

349
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.759
then you all see that I'm not wearing anyway. It

350
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.759
doesn't matter, just I don't could just do it as

351
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:54.559
a voice. That's what phones are for. That's when I

352
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:59.400
realized that maybe I wasn't really up to date with technology.

353
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.880
But yeah, I'm not into the video thing, like video calling.

354
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.160
But maybe if it was a big screen and it

355
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:18.720
looked realistic, and maybe it would be more potentially usable,

356
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:25.039
But still I don't want to have to get dressed

357
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.400
just to make a phone call. Not that I'm sitting

358
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.799
around naked all day long, but it's not just that.

359
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.960
It's like, you know, it's not just getting dressed, but

360
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:42.279
it's getting dressed accordingly. I wouldn't go knock on my

361
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:49.079
dad's front door dressed like this. I would put some

362
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:56.359
clean clothes on and make myself look mildly presentable. But

363
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:01.559
someone just phones me out of the blue. Then I

364
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.079
might have ice cream all over my face, or chocolate

365
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:09.079
all down my top, soup on my feet. You know,

366
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:11.799
it's it could be anything, so I don't ye know,

367
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:24.559
not really for me, however, maybe it will be one day, Sony,

368
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:32.400
Bet Max, it's on Time's Worst list. That's just rude.

369
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.400
BETMX was not bad at all. Why is it on

370
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.559
the Times Worst List? If it was better quality than vhs,

371
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:44.960
then how can it be a bad videotape? That's the question.

372
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:55.240
A Nintendo Virtual boy, I always remember, do you know

373
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:59.160
that you should have a fine the video shop if

374
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.119
you didn't rewind the video would be a fine and

375
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:04.200
the amount of times I'd get to the video shop

376
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.119
to take the video back. When I was a kid,

377
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:11.119
I realized that I didn't like rewound them, so I'd be

378
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:16.440
walking down the beach towards the video shop trying to

379
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:23.720
do it by hand. I rewind it take ages. It's

380
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:28.720
not like audio tapes. Who could just put a pen

381
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:32.720
through and rewind it that way? Sometimes, I mean they

382
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:40.680
didn't always work, depends so thick the pen was Nintendo

383
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:47.759
Virtual Boy nineteen ninety five, intended as a three D

384
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:56.440
gaming console. It was a commercial failure. Okay, I know

385
00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:03.759
so little about video games. The thing is, I find

386
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:08.680
it hard to get enthusiastic about something that it's not

387
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:10.960
very good at. And I was never really very good

388
00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:15.720
at video games. Just didn't really. Yeah it wasn't I

389
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.759
was awful. Yeah. Maybe I did like video games. I

390
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.960
just didn't like paying for them. And what I mean

391
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.119
by that is it's not about the cost of money.

392
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:33.839
Is maybe it just took me a lot longer to

393
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.799
get good at it. So i'd go down the carousel

394
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.759
or down the arcade where there'd be video games. Tron

395
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:46.519
was my favorite. I just like the music. Dude, do

396
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:52.720
do Do Do? Do it do? I can't. I did

397
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:54.720
like the music, but obviously not enough to remember what

398
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:58.400
it was. But it was. Yeah, I used to like

399
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.519
to play it, but it was like twenty pence of

400
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.440
time and I wouldn't get very far and then I'd

401
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:11.800
be it. And I suppose if i'd have been playing

402
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:13.639
it at home, I could have done it, played at

403
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:19.119
hundreds thands of times and got good at it. But

404
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:24.800
I just didn't. Yeah, I didn't really have that that urge.

405
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.800
And I did have a couple of video games. Actually,

406
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:36.199
Actually I was a bit a little bit defensive, wasn't it.

407
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.280
I did. Actually I had actually a couple of video games.

408
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:44.039
Actually what did I have? I had sound like a

409
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:49.119
pac Man but it was Yeah, I had like a

410
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.639
pac Man game, a handheld one. I had another one

411
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:59.639
that was like some kind of tricking in what was

412
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:03.800
it called what was not Star Wars? What was the

413
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:08.280
game Space Invaders? It was all asteroids. I think it

414
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.239
was more like Asteroids. It was a similar game like

415
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:16.480
that that had. It was like a handheld console, but

416
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:20.000
just that game and the batteries went in the back,

417
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:23.400
but they're generally go in the back then they go

418
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:25.719
in I mean I could go in front, but that

419
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:27.800
he went in the back. It's not really relevant to

420
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.199
the story. I don't know why why am I talking

421
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.159
about batteries, but I like them games. I remember when

422
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:40.840
I got them because things that we used to the

423
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:44.039
one thing, not the only thing, but the one thing

424
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:50.159
that was really good about my childhood from the ages

425
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:57.960
of seven to I don't know fourteen. Things were between, yeah,

426
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.440
fourteen and fifteen or whatever, but things were, Yeah, things

427
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.280
kind of changed a lot. After fourteen, things kind of

428
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:11.280
didn't really weren't the same anymore. But between seven and fourteen,

429
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:26.760
Christmases were brilliant. Birthdays were brilliant, like genuinely, genuinely genuinely.

430
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:33.800
I can't imagine. Haven't had better Christmases in any other scenario.

431
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:40.000
I can't even It's like it was great, it was perfect.

432
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.280
It was My dad really is Father Christmas or Santa

433
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:50.039
Claus if you call him Santa Claus. He great Christmases.

434
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.599
You've got to give credit words to do sometimes and

435
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.039
he not just him, Him and my stepmum they put

436
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:04.559
on the best Christmas and we did get spoilt with presents.

437
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:10.880
It's so many presents. It was great, brilliant, that's the

438
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.119
one thing I can never I can't. I can moan

439
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.119
about lots of things where I can never moan about that.

440
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:24.280
Absolutely amazing, really, and it wasn't just that everything food,

441
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:30.199
every like. It was just yeah, it's like a banquet. Really.

442
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:36.719
It was great times. And even us brothers kind of

443
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:43.119
had a truce during the Christmas period, you know, which

444
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:48.280
was quite nice. Didn't last long, but it was you know,

445
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:54.400
it's nice while it lasted. It didn't always last the

446
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.840
whole day, maybe tall lunch, just after lunchtime, but it

447
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.360
was still nice, a bit of peace. You know, everyone's

448
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:07.280
like pretending to like each other, and you know, my

449
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.960
brother's showing me their presence and they me me pretending

450
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.159
to be interested, just wanting to go upstairs and play

451
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.480
with my own presence, and me showing them my presence

452
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:19.920
and then pretending to be interested. You know, it's just

453
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.960
it's just it's just a game. Wasn't it really a

454
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.760
game of pretend? I love the presence. That's my favorite thing,

455
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:35.800
not giving presents, receiving I loved getting presents. I'm not

456
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.760
even going to pretend that like so much pleasure, a pleasure,

457
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.400
so much pleasure by from buying other people's stuff, not really,

458
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:51.119
maybe my stepmom, because I used to buy a presence

459
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.639
all year round, like little bits and bobs, little ornaments

460
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.559
and things like that. So yeah, I did like getting

461
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.920
her stuff, and I would like to see her face

462
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:08.119
when she opened my Christmas present. But generally, you know,

463
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.639
I was very much focused on my own stuff. Oh yes,

464
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:19.360
chocolates and sweets and books and toys. Ye, it was good.

465
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:24.400
I liked it. I kind of miss it because that's

466
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:28.480
the one benefit. Well, I don't know if it's a benefit,

467
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:36.480
because I could buy myself presents, but no one buys

468
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.440
me presents anymore. I sometimes I get a little hamper

469
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:42.960
from my dad, and he still gives me money at Christmas.

470
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:48.239
I mean, I'm nearly seventy years old. He still gives

471
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:53.000
me money at Christmas. Is silly. It's not silly in

472
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:57.880
a horrible way, just like I think I'll never give

473
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.920
it back. So obviously I'm not complaining, but it's just

474
00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:12.639
I'm not just an adult. I'm I'm you know, eleven

475
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:19.000
or twelve years away from retirement? Is really or twelve

476
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:21.800
years thirteen years? I don't know. I'm not sure if

477
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:26.920
it's sixty six or sixty seven. It's not long twelve years.

478
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:33.599
If it's sixty seven, just over twelve years. Wow, So

479
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:36.159
it's weird. But I do give him present. He gets

480
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.679
presents every year as well, but he gets more presents

481
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:42.000
because he gets five s Day presents. There's no Sun's

482
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:47.559
Day's presence. Is there no children of Day's presence? Yeah?

483
00:40:50.079 --> 00:41:00.760
And yeah birthdays as well. Was really great, but it

484
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.559
was It was brilliant and I loved it. But at

485
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:09.440
the same time, it was awkward because what we did

486
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:17.960
is we went into whoever's birthday it was. We all

487
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:26.440
went downstairs, the rest of the family went downstairs and

488
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:31.679
then got together and then came upstairs, back upstairs again

489
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:35.199
to whoever's bedroom was, and we'd come in and start

490
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.840
singing Happy Birthday. I don't know why to do it.

491
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.920
You know, the Happy Birthday song, And I think it's copyrighted,

492
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.639
so I don't think I'm allowed to sing it. I'm

493
00:41:45.679 --> 00:42:00.639
going to make a difference. Isn't it big birthday? And yeah,

494
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:06.119
my dad's after a couple of years, we want to

495
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:08.880
get together and say, Dad, can you stop dressing as Marilyn.

496
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:16.079
It's disturbingess. So it didn't, but it didn't stop, and

497
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:24.760
we just got this visual for him doing a little

498
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:31.480
dance standing over a drain. You know, that hot air

499
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:34.639
blowing his dress up. I don't know why I've got

500
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:42.960
that visual. Singing Happy Birthday has two different scenes, isn't it. Ah,

501
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:46.920
So it was. It was one of those weird things

502
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:54.519
because I felt I felt very self conscious when I

503
00:42:54.599 --> 00:43:00.400
knew that they were going to come in and I

504
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:02.760
knew that they were going to be singing Happy Birthday,

505
00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.159
and I was going to be sitting in my bedroom.

506
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:07.920
And what we would do would be in a room,

507
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.159
would be in the bed, and we would open the

508
00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:13.280
presence in the bed while everyone might sat on the

509
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:16.840
edge of the bed and all stood around. It was lovely,

510
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:26.079
it really was. It got changing a little bit once

511
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:34.199
I hit my teen years because I didn't always have

512
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:41.360
enough time to prepare myself for visitors, so the bedroom

513
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:46.280
door would be closed. I think one year I wasn't

514
00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:54.719
awake and the door opened, and yeah, I kind of

515
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:59.000
had to. It was just a little bit embarrassing, but

516
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:08.480
it's okay, Presence, let's let's move on. I yeah, I

517
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.360
used to love it. I just loved it. Just make it.

518
00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:15.519
I think I preferred Christmas to birthdays because at Christmas,

519
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.760
everybody was opened presents at the same time, which I

520
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:23.440
liked because then I didn't have to pretend to like

521
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:29.360
something I didn't like. And I you know, I liked everything,

522
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:31.119
but I didn't have to like, put on a big

523
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:36.440
show of oh brilliant a pair of socks, thanks Nan,

524
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:43.320
a nice pair of socks, just what I've always wanted, yippie,

525
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.039
and you didn't have to do cartwheels or anything like that,

526
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:49.880
or you know, wait a minute. In fact, I'm not

527
00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:51.960
going to open anymore presents. I want to go up

528
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:55.199
and make a big thank you card for my Nan

529
00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:57.159
for buying me the sucks.

530
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:03.639
She didn't buy it.

531
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:05.880
She used to make them. She used to knit. My

532
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:13.159
name used to knit stuff. This is totally true.

533
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:22.920
She made his pole mix all us. Once we put

534
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:26.400
them on, we couldn't get them over our heads. But

535
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:32.519
my Name was coming around for the for lunch Sunday,

536
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:37.760
Christmas lunch, my name and Grandad, and so we were

537
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.199
told we've got to put them on because because we

538
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:48.519
Christmas jumpers with all Christmas puddings and stuff on top,

539
00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:51.840
beIN green and red and stuff, and so.

540
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:53.079
We got to put it on so it's not on

541
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:55.519
the of my head, and I said, just you're just

542
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:59.880
gonna have to wear them during during dinner. We did that.

543
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:02.639
It's very uncomfortable. We could not get them off. We

544
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:05.119
had to cut them off. We couldn't get them over

545
00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:11.800
ahead again once I on. Actually I didn't. I didn't

546
00:46:11.800 --> 00:46:13.639
cut mine off because I had respect from my name.

547
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.920
So I just woked all year round. I eventually grew

548
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:21.159
through it. I don't know that makes sense, but yeah,

549
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:26.320
that it was impossible, and it's really weird. It's a

550
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:30.960
weird way to end at Christmas lunch by being having

551
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:36.559
vasiline being spread across my neck to try and sort

552
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:42.199
of get out of this thing. That's all I heard

553
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.760
someone say, can we shrink him? Like you can't shrink me,

554
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:50.880
can you? It was like ah, but yeah, it was.

555
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:56.360
It was lost. It day was so tight and we

556
00:46:56.360 --> 00:46:59.079
were all looking at each other and there was like

557
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:05.840
various variations of blue in our faces. Was like just

558
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:12.400
trying to eat our dinners. And the ironic thing is

559
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:14.199
my dad didn't find it funny because he had one

560
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:21.159
as well. So all four of us had like Matt, well,

561
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:25.360
it weren't match. There were similar kind of jumpers, but

562
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.599
they just weren't. It turned out we just had the

563
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:33.400
wrong ones on. So in the I really didn't realize

564
00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:37.079
that inside was the names. So we got on and

565
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:39.320
my dad took his off and said, this is for you, Jason,

566
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:46.719
and so it makes sense that one. But then you're

567
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:51.719
going to think, well, if that was true, then all

568
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:57.000
the others would be. You could say, well, the one

569
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:00.880
that my oldest brother was wearing, that for the other

570
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.679
younger brother, but all about the one that he was wearing,

571
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.840
who was that for? Let's see, it wouldn't work with it.

572
00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.159
I guess no, I've kind of found a fault in

573
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:22.480
my own. Lie damn subprime mortgages, financial invention that led

574
00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:25.519
to global crisis. So I've got no idea what that is.

575
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:34.599
Hydrogen blimps, Oh yeah, ambitious but unsafe, filled with the

576
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:39.880
same gas as the Hindenburg. Yeah. I thought they would

577
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:50.719
have learned from that great idea technically, I mean, phenomenal,

578
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:54.000
and I think it's a shame they didn't really look

579
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.920
into it a bit more a way to do it safely,

580
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:04.760
because that must have been such a an unusual way

581
00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:10.360
to travel quite smooth, I imagine I mean when it

582
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:21.280
worked on me, when it was successful. Blimey, I'm not

583
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:26.760
purposely saying blind me by the way. I just and

584
00:49:26.840 --> 00:49:30.960
now I've become self conscious of it. Plastic grocery bags

585
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:42.840
became environmentally notorious. Tell me about that. Well, I understand,

586
00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:48.639
you know, the whole environmental stuff and plastic bags and

587
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:53.719
stuff like that. But you know what, I've never dumped

588
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.599
anything in the ocean, apart from the odd pooh. But

589
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.199
that was when I was a kid. Wait a minute,

590
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.760
that wasn't the ocean. It was a swimming pool. That's

591
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.639
why we weren't allowed back to Buttling's Oh it's weird,

592
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:19.320
isn't it. Memories come back. I think there's a there's

593
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.599
kind of a this is this is terrible, and this

594
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.960
is I'm just saying this. I was a kid, right,

595
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:29.760
But like, if any kid is going to do a

596
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:33.239
poo in a swimming pool, just I wish someone had

597
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:37.039
told me this when I was a kid. Of course,

598
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:44.039
don't do it, that's the first thing, because it's grim.

599
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:48.760
But if someone was to do it, the one thing,

600
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:50.719
one bit of advice that would have been useful for

601
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:56.880
me is don't do it from the diving board. You

602
00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:58.440
don't just sit on the end of the diving board

603
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.239
and do it because people know they I noticed things

604
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:29.880
like that, you need to be more covert. Yeah. God,

605
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:37.519
nowadays it would beyond TikTok. Wouldn't it historic or niche failures?

606
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:43.719
Microsoft Bob I don't remember that. Anyone remember Microsoft Bob.

607
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:56.800
I just got that visual. Sorry. Microsoft Bob was a

608
00:51:56.840 --> 00:52:00.599
c g u I placement for we those with a

609
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:09.840
cartoon house interface mocked and quickly discontinued. I don't remember that.

610
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:20.000
Microsoft kin Phones two thy ten social media phones scrapped

611
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:28.280
two months after launch due to lack of apps. Okay, well,

612
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.599
the iPhone was out by them, wasn't it. The iPhone

613
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:33.840
didn't have huge amounts of apps. I don't think at

614
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:41.400
the time. Maybe I'm wrong, but number thirteen Oakley Thump

615
00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:48.400
two thousand and four sunglasses were built in MP three player,

616
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:53.639
pricey and impractical. This sounds like a good idea, though,

617
00:52:53.639 --> 00:53:03.440
doesn't it. Nokia n gauge gaming phone flop noted by

618
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:07.039
readers Digest. Okay, I don't know why they're mentioned and

619
00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:13.599
where they found it. Microsoft Zoom, why does that sound familiar?

620
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:24.119
A media player that couldn't dnned iPods domination. Okay, iPods

621
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:36.039
were pretty amazing though easy to use. I mean, I honestly, really,

622
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:43.159
I don't know why iPods, just why it lost its popularity.

623
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:47.239
I know he's because of the phone, But you know what,

624
00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:54.400
iPods had a much larger I mean, now, if iPods

625
00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.119
were still going, they would have a much larger memory

626
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:07.920
on them. They'd probably have multiple terrorbytes worth a memory

627
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:14.119
which could possibly store every movie and every single album ever.

628
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:17.360
But then I suppose we've got streaming for that on me,

629
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:23.800
So I suppose streaming don't need dipods for streaming. But

630
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:29.000
I just preferred it to the phone because I like

631
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:33.039
to use the phone separately. So if I'm out, if

632
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:35.639
I want to go out. I'm talking about it in

633
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:39.320
the past, when I used to go out, but i'd

634
00:54:39.320 --> 00:54:45.039
had my iPod, I wouldn't necessarily have my phone on

635
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:50.000
me because I wouldn't need to the iPod. It wasn't

636
00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:55.440
dependent upon the Internet or data from the phone. Everything

637
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:59.360
was stored on the actual iPod. I had two hundred

638
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:03.159
and fifty kig bites on it. It was I think

639
00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:05.519
the best one around at the time for a long

640
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.639
long time ago. Two thousand and eight, two thousand and

641
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:21.559
nine something like that. I loved it, and yet at

642
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:26.320
the time I didn't have a smartphone, so having a

643
00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:31.840
phone wasn't really an option as far as using But

644
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:35.159
even if I still think an iPod was better than

645
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:41.639
using a phone for music, I don't know why. I

646
00:55:41.719 --> 00:55:47.199
just I just think the sound was better the Wan

647
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:50.079
dude that was with headphones, so probably maybe exactly the

648
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:54.800
same with a iPhone, maybe much better on the iPhone now.

649
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.239
I don't know. Perhaps it was just because the iPod

650
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:03.079
was there for that specific reason for music. You could

651
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:09.639
have videos as well, but basically for music, because an

652
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.400
iPhone is for lots of different things. So I guess

653
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:17.760
it's just, yeah, I do quite like something that's there

654
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:27.360
for specific reason, you know, Like hmmm, it's like a bed.

655
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:33.920
It's there to sleep in. And I don't know you're

656
00:56:33.960 --> 00:56:36.480
generally you know, but like sleeping in. That's what That's

657
00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:42.239
what my BID's for. I say, in my bed. I'd

658
00:56:42.280 --> 00:56:45.079
like to say our bed, but it's vin his bed,

659
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.599
but he lets me share. It's very kind like that.

660
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:59.199
Horror boards, the Segway style overhyped and electric versions led

661
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:08.039
to safety issues. Half aboards, Okay, I mean back to

662
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:15.239
the future kind of made those I was gonna say

663
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:18.199
popular because it didn't exist, did they? But like it.

664
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:27.599
I think it caught people's imagination, the idea that it'd

665
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:33.880
be like a skateboard but in the air Ford Pinto

666
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:41.119
flying the Ford Pinto flying car, experimental jet powered Pinto

667
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:47.599
short flights ended in crashes. Well, there are now flying

668
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:56.079
cars again, and I've got no idea how that's going

669
00:57:56.159 --> 00:58:07.599
to work because knowing knowing the human race, they'll just

670
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:16.360
end up being traffic jams in the sky. And that

671
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:24.800
won't work, will it? Unless it can hover? Yeah, how

672
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:33.400
does this stop? You could overtake? But what if you

673
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:39.440
can't overtake unless something else coming? We go higher up? Okay,

674
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:45.599
but how many levels would there be? There might end

675
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.679
up being like one hundred different levels of traffic in

676
00:58:48.719 --> 00:59:02.760
the sky. Ah bell Oh, Apparently in the UK. Uber taxis,

677
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:10.840
automatic self driving ones are going to be introduced in

678
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:18.320
the UK like now or they've done a they've done

679
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:21.199
a pilot scheme and they're going to start releasing them.

680
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:25.199
When I first saw that, because I only use Uber eats,

681
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:28.440
we don't have well I don't think we have Uber

682
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:33.719
taxis here, so I get uber Eats, and I thought,

683
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:37.960
how is it going to deliver upstairs? How's it going

684
00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.960
to bring my food to me, my groceries to me,

685
00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:46.920
my milk or whatever else are ordered. So I'm gonna

686
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:51.800
have to go outside, which kind of defeats the object

687
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:56.280
of ordering the delivery if I have to go and

688
00:59:56.320 --> 01:00:01.079
collect it. I don't know, it's not the same as traveling

689
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.159
all the way to the shop, but you know, still,

690
01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:11.239
But then I realized it was a taxi, So would

691
01:00:11.239 --> 01:00:16.039
I get into a car that didn't didn't have a driver.

692
01:00:18.360 --> 01:00:22.400
The way I see it is the only way the

693
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:30.079
automatic self driving cars can really work is if all

694
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:37.800
vehicles on the road were automatic self driving, Because when

695
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:43.239
one stops, they all stop until that situation sorted out,

696
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:50.079
you know. So it's almost I guess it would work

697
01:00:52.199 --> 01:01:00.400
much better as a I don't know, like as one

698
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:04.519
kind of brain thing. I know what I'm trying to say,

699
01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:07.440
I'm just not perhaps saying it in a way that

700
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:16.079
makes sense even to me. Bell rocket Belt a twenty

701
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:21.480
a twenty one second flight pack used for demos but

702
01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:29.480
deemed impractical. Well twenty one's twenty one second. I mean

703
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:33.760
it would be useful in some situations. I mean, I'm

704
01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:38.039
pretty sure if you found yourself at the bottom of

705
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:44.719
a well or some ravine or very you know, a mountain,

706
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.800
or not not a high mountain, but something that you

707
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:52.559
can't get up, twenty one seconds of flying upwards might

708
01:01:52.599 --> 01:02:00.360
actually be useful. Or if you're being chased by goat.

709
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:10.239
I'm just thinking, you know, as an example, fly flying tanks.

710
01:02:11.199 --> 01:02:21.960
Ant nov a forty WW two Soviet wind tank. So

711
01:02:22.119 --> 01:02:25.480
this was the plan flying tanks, but unfortunately didn't work

712
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:30.239
because they were too heavy to fly. It's like, really,

713
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:41.360
I think of what's the heaviest vehicle, and the tank's

714
01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:43.480
one of the things that I think of one of

715
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:52.880
the heaviest vehicles. I mean, it's got to be so heavy.

716
01:02:53.159 --> 01:02:58.320
This got here in a matte ammette cursor gyro dripping

717
01:02:58.480 --> 01:03:06.039
water gorge, outdated medical tool that failed. I don't even

718
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:07.960
know what it is. So that's not going to really

719
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:13.800
be useful on off experiments and oddities. So let's have

720
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:22.199
a look. Egg cuba s shaped mold to cube hard

721
01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:34.280
boiled decks didn't catch on right, So basically to make

722
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:40.320
eggs in a shape that's kind of it. I wonder

723
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:44.960
that sounds familiar, like I might might have had one

724
01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:49.079
of them or tested one of them. I tell you

725
01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:51.000
one of the things it might be in this list.

726
01:03:52.639 --> 01:03:59.440
I did not like it. Fin qui fondu fondu, that's it.

727
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:08.400
Fondu sets where you'd have be heating up almost like

728
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:11.239
being in a back in a science lab at school,

729
01:04:13.119 --> 01:04:15.639
bunts and not buns and burner, but you'd be heating

730
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:22.360
up oil and then cooking the food yourself. Like No,

731
01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:25.239
I just didn't. I didn't see the point in spending

732
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:35.159
two hours at a table at home. No, no, I'd

733
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:41.000
rather just have a sandwich. Thanks. But I remember people

734
01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:46.400
used to have parties and dinner parties, couples getting together

735
01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:53.599
and chatting about life whilst holding these little sticks of

736
01:04:55.079 --> 01:05:02.719
meat in this oil. And I just what, why? Why?

737
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:20.039
That was my question? Why? An electric pen from Thomas Edison. Okay,

738
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:23.360
all right, so but it lost out to the typewriter.

739
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:30.039
An electric pen, so it was kind of like, not

740
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:32.480
quite sure how it works, so that would be interesting

741
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:37.920
to see. But a typewriter kind of came along. Motorized

742
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:45.039
surfboard nineteen forty eight, three hundred and forty five dollars

743
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:52.039
device with poor performance three hundred and forty five dollars

744
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:58.320
in nineteen forty eight. I'm guessing was a lumps that

745
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:06.760
was a big bag of dosh, and Finny was like

746
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.480
half falling off the chair. There he's just woken up.

747
01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:18.639
Wearable parachute. Wearable parachute suit invented by a friends right

748
01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:30.079
shiite failed catastrophically. Now he seems to be enjoying having

749
01:06:30.159 --> 01:06:34.679
half his body laying off the chair. I don't know

750
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:39.159
why that is. Maybe he's just get him to stretch

751
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:44.920
his neck. I think wearable parachute suit. I mean, aren't

752
01:06:44.920 --> 01:06:49.159
all parachutes wearable? That's kind of the idea, isn't it

753
01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:51.920
the aim to be able to wear them? But then

754
01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:57.960
a suit? Would that be like a dinner suit? Just

755
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.480
you're going to go parachuting, but you've got a job interview,

756
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:07.320
So I'll go to the job interview first and I'll

757
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:09.719
just jump out of the window and parachute home. I

758
01:07:09.800 --> 01:07:13.559
don't know is that a thing, but it wasn't very popular.

759
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:19.400
I personally think that parachutes should be available to anyone.

760
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:24.239
What they should be like seat belts in cars. They

761
01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:30.119
should be compulsory for everyone to wear a parachute. That

762
01:07:30.239 --> 01:07:36.239
goes up in a plane, any plane that's just me

763
01:07:37.400 --> 01:07:41.079
and anyone on a boat should have a life digging

764
01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:44.440
around themselves at all times and a life jacket on.

765
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:48.840
So even on cruises, everybody should be wearing a life

766
01:07:48.920 --> 01:07:59.000
jacket at all times. Again, cruises might become less popular

767
01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:04.119
if that was enforced, but for me, safety is everything.

768
01:08:10.480 --> 01:08:12.920
So that's why I wear condom when I watch porn. No,

769
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:16.479
I don't, don't. It's a sillypian, say, flying saurcer camera

770
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:24.159
designed to spot UFOs but never gained traction. Our flying

771
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:30.840
sourcer camera is someone else has pointed this out. It's strange,

772
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:35.720
isn't it that we now have not only the cameras

773
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:40.479
everywhere we go, like you know, in the streets and

774
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:45.640
in this country it's the most surveyed, surveillanced country, and

775
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:48.520
pretty much the whole world, I think, especially in London,

776
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:54.560
maybe Japan, New York maybe sort of ecal maybe, but

777
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:04.239
everybody's walking around with a camera, generally good quality cameras

778
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:08.439
on the phones. Not great sound, but pictures usually pretty

779
01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:15.199
good if you're outside. Yeah, how often do we see

780
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:18.760
UFOs now? I know if they they've named them a

781
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.520
different name now it's not UFOs. It's been No, it's

782
01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:26.319
still UFOs. I'm not going to change it. It's not

783
01:09:26.439 --> 01:09:28.960
derogatory words. I'm not going to change it. I'm using

784
01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:34.439
that word or that that synonym or whatever. You FOS

785
01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:42.199
Unidentified flying objects, just changing it to whatever they change

786
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:45.680
it to. The American government decided, am we going to

787
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:52.119
give a different name? Now? No? No, the TV shows,

788
01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:55.000
you know, the UFO files is still the UFO Files.

789
01:09:55.119 --> 01:10:02.600
Not changed. Just because Skoda I've decided to call their

790
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:11.319
cars scooter, it's still Skoder. We still say Skoda little,

791
01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:14.920
still little, no matter how often for years trying to

792
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:19.800
tell us leadle, leadle, No, it's little, we call it little.

793
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:27.000
That's how we do things in this country. Skoda little. Sorry,

794
01:10:28.680 --> 01:10:35.920
that's just the way it is. And what was a

795
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:40.159
few names that we didn't know? Oh, I remember when

796
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:43.439
Dynasty came out. There was that whole thing like is

797
01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:47.720
it dynasty or dynasty? We're calling it dynasty, but I'm

798
01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:50.920
sure they call it dynasty in America. What's the correct

799
01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:55.119
way to say it? And I'll be saying yeah. Also,

800
01:10:55.199 --> 01:10:59.399
what about Dallas? That's what a whole family at turn,

801
01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:02.039
I mean, what about Dallas so how were we supposed to?

802
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:06.039
That was just ridiculous?

803
01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:06.439
Is it?

804
01:11:06.720 --> 01:11:08.800
Where am I going with that? It's really just ridiculous.

805
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:16.279
I'm not even going to finish that sentence. That's ridiculous.

806
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:28.640
Oh no, wonder I was in this special class? Are

807
01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:38.159
we supposed to pronounce dallas? Oh? Dear did oh? Oh? Man?

808
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:47.640
I was silly. It's very silly. Okay, back to normality.

809
01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:52.600
Oh my good am I about to read this out.

810
01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:58.520
Baby cage? Okay, this next one baby cage from the

811
01:11:58.640 --> 01:12:09.880
nineteen thirties. A mesh cage. I can't even read this

812
01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:12.439
out a mess, A mesh.

813
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:16.000
Cage to suspend babies outside London.

814
01:12:15.920 --> 01:12:26.159
Flats like budgies, like a budgy cage, but for a

815
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:36.720
baby you are, Oh my goodness, that's ridiculous.

816
01:12:42.079 --> 01:12:47.199
Little Tommy doing we but look he's on the he's

817
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:53.000
on the Verantes. He's hanging up in his little cage. Wow,

818
01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:59.039
this is a real thing. Apparently, health concerns, health concerns

819
01:12:59.239 --> 01:13:02.159
ended it. I bet you it's health concerns about whether

820
01:13:02.239 --> 01:13:04.920
or not the cage dropped and hit an adult on

821
01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:05.319
their head.

822
01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:07.000
That's probably what the health concerns were.

823
01:13:07.159 --> 01:13:09.479
Weren't about the baby being stuck in a cage.

824
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:13.800
Wow. I do apologize. I didn't know this was going

825
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:21.079
to make me laugh. I shouldn't known, really, but oh god,

826
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:30.760
it's a ridiculous baby cage. Clamor bonnet a facial vacuum

827
01:13:30.840 --> 01:13:37.279
device from nineteen forty baby case. Okay, moving on, facial vacuum,

828
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:46.039
A facial vacuum device from nineteen forties for complexion improvement, discontinued.

829
01:13:48.279 --> 01:13:54.199
A glamor bonnet, a facial vacuum. That's so basically you're

830
01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:59.000
sucking the skin out. I suppose it stretched it. Just

831
01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:02.680
that's the opposite, though, isn't it. Isn't it about like

832
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:06.439
booty products are supposed to be not supposed to be.

833
01:14:06.560 --> 01:14:12.680
Isn't it like quite often about tightening the skin, not

834
01:14:12.960 --> 01:14:19.399
stretching skin. I don't know, Mar, clearly you don't know

835
01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:30.960
much about that stuff anyway. A shower hood this was

836
01:14:31.079 --> 01:14:40.960
nineteen seventies Germany. Head covering, shower shield, head covering, shower shield.

837
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:51.079
People just preferred shampoo. I don't understand that shower hood

838
01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:59.800
head covering. How do you how do you have a

839
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:03.119
sh shower and cover your head so your head doesn't

840
01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:07.359
get wet? I mean, I know, you can have a

841
01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:12.039
shower cap, can't you. But a shower shield would literally

842
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:16.640
stop the water from but it wouldn't get onto your body,

843
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:22.560
would it. I don't know. Maybe that's why it discontinued

844
01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:31.359
pet flavored water called Thirsty Dog the mid nineties. Pet

845
01:15:31.399 --> 01:15:40.119
flavored water odd and unsuccessful. Okay, so is it water

846
01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:46.199
that tasted like pets that humans drunk or is it

847
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:50.880
water that was flavored the dog's drunk. I'm not sure.

848
01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:57.680
Maybe that's where the problem was with the advertising. People thought,

849
01:15:58.239 --> 01:16:01.000
why we don't want to have water that tastes like

850
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:05.359
a dog or a cat or a budge or you

851
01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:15.680
know number thirty. A cigarette umbrella, the whimsical design never

852
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:25.000
attained popularity. A cigarette umbrella, right, this is one of

853
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:27.760
those moments I have to look this up. I'm sorry,

854
01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:45.039
I am interested now cigarette umbrella. Oh my goodness. Who

855
01:16:45.199 --> 01:16:52.479
to see the picture of it? Right? So basically the

856
01:16:55.800 --> 01:17:02.319
from what I can see, I have to look at

857
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:09.960
images cigarette umbrella. Do you know those cigarette holders that

858
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:11.920
people used to have in the old days, like a

859
01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:14.199
plastic thing and then they stick the cigarette in the end.

860
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:18.600
It's like that with a little contraption like a little

861
01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:25.600
arm with an umberrella that covers the cigarette, so literally

862
01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:29.119
like an umbrella, the kind of thing that perhaps get

863
01:17:29.199 --> 01:17:33.439
in a drink or something, and it protected the cigarette

864
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:43.079
from the rain. Ah. So the next lot is tech misfires.

865
01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:52.479
So number thirty one Nintendo Nintendo famy Com Fami Comm

866
01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:59.800
initial release, early faulty console that froze games led to recall. Well, yeah,

867
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:03.000
brightly so, but like that would be horrible for people

868
01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:07.159
to you look forward to something and then everything freezes,

869
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:27.439
you know. Yeah. At and T Picture Phone nineteen sixty four,

870
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:37.720
videophone debuted at World's Fair. It was too expensive sixteen sixteen,

871
01:18:38.520 --> 01:18:54.079
sixteen dollars per minute. Okay, so videophones worked in nineteen

872
01:18:54.239 --> 01:18:59.079
sixty four. Yeah, it was sixteen dollars a minute then,

873
01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:06.319
But it would have gone now. I mean, I'm sure

874
01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:13.399
they could have sold at least a few thousand. People

875
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:17.399
that had money, you know, millionaires, would probably love to

876
01:19:17.479 --> 01:19:22.560
have something like that. In fact, some people that were

877
01:19:22.680 --> 01:19:25.640
just quite well off would probably like to have one

878
01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:30.479
and just spend a couple of minutes a week talking

879
01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:32.560
on the phone, or a couple of minutes a month

880
01:19:32.680 --> 01:19:35.880
talking to family that maybe lived the other side of

881
01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:46.239
the country or something. I remember I've got a ring doorbell,

882
01:19:47.439 --> 01:19:53.680
and I remember there was I dated this person who

883
01:19:54.319 --> 01:19:59.800
lived in a block of flats and she actually had

884
01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:06.399
this screen inside her flat and downstairs in the main

885
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:09.840
doorway because it was a locked security we had thirty

886
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:16.279
years ago security locked out. Ours isn't locked. But I'm

887
01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:18.840
just moaning now, but it's lister. You pressed it and

888
01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:22.439
you could see who was down there. They couldn't see you,

889
01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:25.319
but you unless you were down there as well, But

890
01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:29.079
then who'd answered the door? But you it kind of

891
01:20:29.640 --> 01:20:31.680
you could see who was on the screen. It was

892
01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:36.039
black and white, I think, but it's like, wow, I

893
01:20:36.239 --> 01:20:38.720
was thirty years ago and it was a good quality

894
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:47.840
picture as well. Bill Gates is tablet PC two thousand

895
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:53.479
and one, so it was too bulky and pricey at

896
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:58.960
two thousand dollars. That was before the ipander iPad era

897
01:21:01.159 --> 01:21:10.000
tablet PC. Again, maybe the only way it works is

898
01:21:10.039 --> 01:21:14.479
if they sell millions. Maybe they have to sell millions,

899
01:21:14.560 --> 01:21:20.079
like really quickly selling something at two thousand dollars. They

900
01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:26.720
still maybe seller one hundred thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand,

901
01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:31.000
but I guess that's not enough. But I'm sure they'll

902
01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:34.840
find twenty thirty thousand people in America that would have

903
01:21:34.920 --> 01:21:43.800
paid two thousand dollars to have a tablet PC. But

904
01:21:43.960 --> 01:21:49.920
to be fair, I think my business acumen. Possibly Bill

905
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.239
Gates has never once phoned me up to asked me

906
01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:56.079
for financial advice, so I suppose probably a reason for that.

907
01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:05.439
Does he have my number? Though? Ah sony CD copy

908
01:22:05.560 --> 01:22:11.680
protection DRM scheme that annoyed legitimate buyers. I don't really

909
01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:14.159
know what that means, So I'll move on head on

910
01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:19.960
two thousands headache relief geil marketed with bizarre ads faded away.

911
01:22:21.199 --> 01:22:36.319
I have a mild recollection of that phone fingers, phone fingers,

912
01:22:37.720 --> 01:22:46.960
thumb attached phone receiver accessory and never took off a

913
01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:56.640
thumb attached phone receiver thumb attached phone receiver accessory. I'm

914
01:22:56.680 --> 01:23:01.159
not sure how does that make sense to you? Phone fingers?

915
01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:08.840
So I suppose like the phone is on your fingers

916
01:23:08.880 --> 01:23:15.000
and you tap? How well? Pop up video ads early

917
01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:21.720
online ads that became universally despised. Yes, they're still on.

918
01:23:21.880 --> 01:23:24.479
What are you talking about? They're still there. The pop

919
01:23:24.600 --> 01:23:28.399
up video ads are still there. They're still online. They're

920
01:23:28.399 --> 01:23:35.760
still see them on Facebook video ads popping up I

921
01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:46.000
think crocs fashion flop. Oi, now I'm unhappy about that.

922
01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:51.239
I'm wearing crocs right now, and they're pink crocs fashion flop.

923
01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:56.880
Those still around, widely derided and listed as a worst No.

924
01:23:58.640 --> 01:24:00.920
I think you'll find millions of peace people love crocs.

925
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:09.239
They're comfortable, they are I wear them every day. I

926
01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:17.399
don't go out in them generally unless I want to

927
01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:23.720
scare the neighbors. Quick catastrophe. So forty one a baby cage.

928
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:34.960
So that's sort of been my goodness. A leicestra this

929
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:39.439
is a thing, a leicestra nineteen nineties, a fat substitute

930
01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:45.039
detergent causing digestive issues. So yeah, that these were these

931
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:50.039
were taken off because they weren't stable or they weren't good.

932
01:24:54.399 --> 01:25:00.560
Clippy office assistant, Oh do you remember Clippy on Microsoft Office?

933
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:05.840
An annoying animated staple in Microsoft Office? Is it still

934
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.199
not about? They used to annoying me? Couldn't get rid

935
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:13.520
of it, like why just go away? I liked it

936
01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:16.319
for the first day. There was a novelty, but then

937
01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:20.720
after that it's a bit like a relationship, isn't it.

938
01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:30.319
You know? After the first day. Crinaline crinaline hooped skirts

939
01:25:31.520 --> 01:25:36.239
fashion hazard from nineteenth century. No, I don't know that.

940
01:25:37.560 --> 01:25:44.159
Alas a hoola chair exercise with exercise while sitting a

941
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:49.239
chair That didn't sell well. The reason people sit is

942
01:25:49.319 --> 01:25:54.840
because they don't want to exercise, you know. Is there's

943
01:25:54.920 --> 01:26:00.600
two different things. It's like eating and go to todd it.

944
01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:06.920
I mean not exclusively separate, but generally done at different

945
01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:14.000
times unless you're in a hurry, miser or miser flying

946
01:26:14.159 --> 01:26:22.239
car car cut with aircraft wings it it didn't fly, basically,

947
01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:25.800
and that's a pretty good reason for a car, a

948
01:26:25.880 --> 01:26:30.239
flying car to be miscontinued or discontinued if it doesn't

949
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:38.239
actually fly. Smell a vision nineteen sixty cinemas they released

950
01:26:38.279 --> 01:26:44.760
odors during films apparently just made the audience laugh. It's

951
01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:52.279
not a bad thing, is it? Snuggy for dogs? Tempting

952
01:26:52.439 --> 01:26:58.159
pet wear that flopped? Oh, I loved. I dressed him

953
01:26:58.239 --> 01:27:01.720
up all day long if I could. It's like a

954
01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:07.960
little doll, my little doll, my little action man. Pop

955
01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:16.760
rock candy rumored urban legends killed sales, legal but scandalized.

956
01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:23.760
So I got no idea what that's about. Hightrogenated oils,

957
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:34.079
so that that didn't go very well. Body rust proofing Okay,

958
01:27:38.359 --> 01:27:42.439
chat GPT has made up of same joke there Body

959
01:27:42.560 --> 01:27:47.880
rustproofing KFC flavored snack. Just kidding, but many silly ones

960
01:27:47.960 --> 01:27:55.239
filled the time list. He's given me jokes. Wow, it's

961
01:27:55.319 --> 01:28:01.479
making jokes. Got joke, He's got jokes. Remember the first

962
01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:05.119
time I heard that when I was in London. Jason's

963
01:28:05.159 --> 01:28:09.439
got jokes. It's not even a sentence, not even a

964
01:28:09.479 --> 01:28:18.439
proper sentence. I'm telling jokes. My last sales job there

965
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:21.479
was this Okay, everyone was younger than me pretty much

966
01:28:21.520 --> 01:28:24.760
when I was there. Even people who were retiring were

967
01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:31.319
younger than me. And one of the people I worked with,

968
01:28:32.079 --> 01:28:38.039
she was about twenty two, twenty three. I was what

969
01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:43.439
was I at the time, forty two? Fort yeah, forty

970
01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:46.960
two probably only ten years well, not a big difference,

971
01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:49.159
but you know, to her, I was like, I was

972
01:28:49.199 --> 01:28:58.000
an old, old man and I said something that maybe

973
01:28:58.199 --> 01:29:03.880
was mildly humorous, and she said, oh, Jason did a

974
01:29:04.039 --> 01:29:12.520
funny Well, Jason said, are funny? Like, Okay, so I'm

975
01:29:12.560 --> 01:29:15.880
not allowed to say funny things because I'm over the

976
01:29:15.960 --> 01:29:20.199
age of ten. Is that what we're doing now? Because

977
01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:24.079
I'm not twenty two or twenty three. I can't say

978
01:29:24.119 --> 01:29:29.199
anything humorous doesn't work like that. I know some people

979
01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:34.159
lose their sense of humor for whatever reason, but it's

980
01:29:34.239 --> 01:29:39.079
just like, come on, what am I supposed to I

981
01:29:39.159 --> 01:29:41.399
think what it is is I think some people are

982
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:48.159
if they've got parents my age, I should be acting

983
01:29:48.399 --> 01:29:51.159
like a parent, or I should be acting like a

984
01:29:51.359 --> 01:29:55.439
teacher or something, and I'm not on neither of those things.

985
01:29:58.760 --> 01:30:02.680
I act what I am, which is I don't know

986
01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:04.279
what it is. I don't know what I am anymore.

987
01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:09.960
But what I do know is I have completed the

988
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:16.520
list on here that I came up with. Let me

989
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:19.079
say a look, you realize this is the third recording

990
01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:23.159
I've done today. I don't know why. Well, I know why,

991
01:30:23.199 --> 01:30:26.359
because I've done three recordings, but I did too previous.

992
01:30:27.079 --> 01:30:31.279
I don't know why I've done so many. Just felt

993
01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:38.840
like the right thing to do, I suppose. So yeah,

994
01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:44.560
that's the end of this recording. I'm going to edit it,

995
01:30:45.199 --> 01:30:49.039
edit and process it when I wake up tomorrow morning.

996
01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:53.319
Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself,

997
01:30:53.439 --> 01:30:57.479
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

998
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:04.920
with yourself. He deserved to feel safe. Lots of Love

999
