00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.360
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:15.800
Jason Newland hend And and and it's time for Trivia Tuesday.

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:24.440
And Vinnie going. It's a bit warm today, a little

4
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.879
bit hot in a Vinny. We went in a garden.

5
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:35.159
All he wanted to do was he wanted there's this

6
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:42.000
one of the neighbors has got a one of those

7
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.320
like disability buggy things and it's kind of new to

8
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.039
the garden, so it has got a cover on it.

9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:01.799
And Vinnie is absolutely enthralled. He is, It's like wow,

10
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.319
it's like a new kind of playbox or something. And

11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:09.719
he wants to go inside and he wants to see

12
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:15.400
what's underneath the cover and it's really it gets excited

13
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.480
and he just he's been out there every three times

14
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:20.319
in a row. I took him out there, and he's

15
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.640
tried to get in there, trying to get underneath the cover.

16
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.599
But it's too hot out there, a bit too hot

17
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.560
to be spending time out there. I've got one window open,

18
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:43.920
so there might be background sounds, which just the way

19
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:48.000
it is. Unfortunately, I can he do too much about that.

20
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:55.079
Someone in a garden coffin. Not really much going on,

21
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:04.359
just drinking me water, keeping hydrated and all that good stuff.

22
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.599
So please only listen when you can safety close your eyes.

23
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.120
This is let me pull you to sleep. And Vinnie

24
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:20.800
is here by my side, by my side, just chilling out.

25
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:33.120
So what I'm going to do today is what am

26
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:38.919
I going to focus on? Vikings? That's a bit random,

27
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:45.759
isn't it? A little bit random vikings? So just to

28
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.919
let you know before I continue, I have been doing

29
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:55.159
a few hypnosis recordings lately which you might be interested in.

30
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.800
I did one yesterday for tenatous relief, a day before bruxism.

31
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:08.439
I did one for loopus, severe menstrual cramp, five bromyalgia

32
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.800
and dealing with noisy neighbors. I did one for grief,

33
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:26.479
and I did one for depression. So what's that one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

34
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.120
eight different subjects, as well as doing a one for

35
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:38.479
sleep as well. So I've been quite busy. I mean,

36
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:53.159
what's that twelfth, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth and okay, see, yeah,

37
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:54.840
I did quite a few in a in a row.

38
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.520
Just let you know they're available. I've also got a

39
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.800
Facebook group which is Jason Newland's Boring Group, which you

40
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:15.280
could join if you like, h there are Well, I

41
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:20.639
don't want that. What I'm doing the there's a link

42
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.759
on my website, Jasonneuland dot com which will take you

43
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:33.240
directly to the group and that my DearS, my darlings,

44
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:43.680
my sweethearts made chut kaboody biddy. Is that's that's done? Right?

45
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.120
Someone asked me A few people have asked me if

46
00:04:50.160 --> 00:05:00.839
I would consider doing erotic hypnosis recordings. I don't know

47
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.360
what you think about that. Yeah, a few people have

48
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.800
actually contacted me over time saying that they don't necessarily

49
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.680
always listen to my recordings for relaxation or for sleep.

50
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:27.399
It's like, okay, anyway, Vikings, I'll be euriest with you.

51
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.439
I'll kind of rudder it out of ideas well not ideas,

52
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:40.959
and everyone have ideas, but just subjects for these Trivia Tuesday.

53
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:47.879
But Vikings is today. If you have any particular ideas

54
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:52.879
that I could do a Trivia Tuesday on a subject,

55
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.959
then you know, let me know. There is a contact

56
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:07.279
form on my website if you're right. So Vikings came

57
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.920
from Scandinavia. Oh, I just want to just say I

58
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.000
watched I think about three years ago, I watched the

59
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:20.959
Vikings TV show like I loved it. Honestly, I watched

60
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.040
like every singular episode from the beginning to the end.

61
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:32.839
Absolutely loved it. Now, like all TV shows, no matter

62
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.240
how good they are, they have a tendency I find

63
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:48.879
of stretching out a little bit, you know, really yeah,

64
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:55.000
starting to add a bit more filler. And this does

65
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.160
that a little bit near the end. But it's okay,

66
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:04.879
what dog in the background, That's fine. So I think

67
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:06.839
I learned quite a lot about the Vikings, but I

68
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:12.120
don't know how much of it was true. And I

69
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.959
think it was made on the History Channel, or they

70
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.199
it was. It was shown on a History channel, So

71
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.600
I don't know how much true theiries. And I also

72
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.680
do not know if these one hundred fascinating Viking facts

73
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:32.319
are indeed facts. So, you know, try not to get

74
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.519
into an argument of anyone, and never used the words

75
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.439
but Jason said, so that won't hold any gravy. I'm afraid.

76
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:48.879
So Vikings, I wouldn't even trust myself with the fact.

77
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.519
I don't even believe my mind. I don't even believe

78
00:07:52.560 --> 00:08:02.480
myself now. Vikings came from Scandinavia modern day Denmark, Norway

79
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:10.079
and Sweden, so the Scandinavia not exists anymore. Then I

80
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.800
know Denmark and Norway and Sweden do was all just

81
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.319
one place. See, I don't know these things. I wasn't

82
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:30.279
around then. In old Norse, Viking originally meant pirate, raid

83
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:38.440
or expedition. Now there was a TV show on Netflix,

84
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:43.159
probably still on there, which makes fun of the Vikings,

85
00:08:45.240 --> 00:09:00.000
and we see funny Viking show Okay, Norsemen, Norsemen, nrs

86
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:07.639
Emmy and on Netflix three seasons. I know comedy obviously

87
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:13.360
is we'll got our own idea what we like. But

88
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.159
I found it very funny. However, at the same time,

89
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.879
there's parts of it that are really horrible because they

90
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:29.440
still try to stick to the to the real mythology

91
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:38.879
of the Vikings lifestyle and behavior. But the dialogue is

92
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.320
very funny. So it's worth watching if you like funny things,

93
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.080
and maybe if you've not seen because this is something

94
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:55.320
my friend Luke, we didn't really have the same sense

95
00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.440
of comedy when it came to watching TV shows. I'm

96
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:04.120
quite I'm a bit more wider. I like to I'm

97
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.200
a bit more wider. That's that sounds weird. Yeah, I

98
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.679
like all kinds of comedy. He was very much more

99
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.840
into British comedy. What didn't really like American sitcoms. I've

100
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.360
never understood that way of thinking, but you know, it's

101
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.919
just how he was. So, which is fine. I like

102
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:32.120
all kinds of comedy, so I like some stuff that

103
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.279
he liked. But I said to him, you're like this

104
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.399
this Viking, this Norseman, and I got it up. He

105
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:40.960
was sitting there with me, and I got it up

106
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:45.200
on the TV. This is like five years ago, four

107
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.159
years ago, and easy, I said, it looks like a

108
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.200
pile of crap to me. That's what he said, Like,

109
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.639
now I'm watching that. I said, it's not American. He said,

110
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.919
why have you got the idea that I don't like

111
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.200
American comedy. I said, because you don't seem to like

112
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.720
anything that's American. He said, well, I'd like only fools

113
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:10.720
and horses. I said, yeah, which is not American. He

114
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.039
said yeah. I didn't say it was. It really used

115
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.480
to try and whine me up, and I just said, like, okay,

116
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:26.320
well just watch it. Just have it. Well. I showed

117
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.679
them a little bit at the very beginning. It's a

118
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.519
really funny bit, even if it was just a sketch

119
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.960
in a comedy show. It's funny because of the dialogue.

120
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.440
I mean, I find it funny because of a dialogue,

121
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:45.679
because it's just absurd and I love absurdity, and also

122
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:55.480
almost introducing reality to a situation, which makes it kind

123
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.200
of takes the blinkers off a bit, like, look at

124
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.399
what we're doing. This is ridiculous. This is really really silly.

125
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.639
So and he smiled, but he said, nah, I can't

126
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.000
bother with that. I didn't see it for the weekend.

127
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.000
It watched the whole two serieses of it over the weekend.

128
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.960
He loved it, absolutely loved it, and he kept watching

129
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:26.039
it back like over the years he was watching it.

130
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.720
He absolutely loved it because it was it was funny, really,

131
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.600
and he introduced all his friends to it, and none

132
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:40.039
of them wanted to watch it is it's weird. It's

133
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.639
like trying to get someone to like something that I like.

134
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.720
I don't know why I even bother, really, because we

135
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:51.200
all like our own things, don't we. However, I do.

136
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.039
I don't want someone to tell me, oh, you've got

137
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.080
to watch thissume you'd watch this because this is brilliant.

138
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.039
I don't mind people doing that, but in fact, I

139
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.080
quite like that because I'm always looking for something new

140
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.519
to sort of get addicted to. When it comes to

141
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.120
TV or movies and stuff. A TV show, you know,

142
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.440
something I can really get my teeth into and watch

143
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:20.639
every single episode of all ten seasons or whatever. That

144
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:24.840
to me, that gives me a lot of happiness, which

145
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:29.080
is very strange, I think. But I get more from

146
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:35.960
that than from being around people. It's almost like I've

147
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:39.399
got something to look forward to. I get really into it.

148
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.320
So he this is not funny. I was laughing for

149
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.879
the sake of it. Hey, we should laugh laugh more.

150
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:52.240
Come on, I had a girlfriend once. It's true. It's

151
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.799
hard to believe I did. This is ten twenty years ago,

152
00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:05.039
and I was making a laugh. I'm quite quite funny, boyfriend,

153
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.440
I would say, Probably you're not. You might not wake

154
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:16.600
up the next morning feeling physically and emotionally satisfied, but

155
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:21.039
I will make you laugh. Okay, you won't be feel fulfilled,

156
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.200
but I will make you'll have a giggle, even if

157
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:31.039
it's just me taking off my shirt or whatever, my gloves.

158
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.559
My Vini started to notice all of screaming out of

159
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:50.879
the back. It sounds to me, which I hope it

160
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.639
is to be fair, it sounds like there's like kids

161
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.759
having a party, probably in a garden over the over

162
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.320
the road or whatever, and they're all like jumping into

163
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:04.200
swimming pools and stuff like you know, paddling pool and

164
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.840
they're having a great time. I hope that's why they're screaming,

165
00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.879
because sometimes it puts me on guard a little bit,

166
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.720
like are they okay? So I'm hoping that's the reason,

167
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.200
because you know, that's the thing. I try not to

168
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.919
moan about hearing kids screaming being noisy because I was

169
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.120
the same. I was a kid once, believe it or not,

170
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.639
and I had four bro by three brothers, so we

171
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:36.080
made a lot of noise in that garden and I

172
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.720
probably screamed a lot as well. I still do sometimes,

173
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.679
especially there's a dog in the in the park called Minnie,

174
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.159
and she's off the lead and she always runs up

175
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.639
to me because she gets excited because I give her treats,

176
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.679
so she runs up to me, but she does it

177
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.120
from behind quite often, and I scream because just to

178
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:07.399
me jump. The other day, I actually I came out

179
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.919
of my front door because I was going to meet

180
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:16.000
someone and they were already there. Honestly, like ah, what

181
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:21.919
are you doing? And I said to man long you've

182
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.039
been standing there, because he phoned me up and then

183
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:26.919
I went, you know, I said, I'm on my way.

184
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.440
I said, okay, I was going to meet him downstairs,

185
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.799
and he said, no, I've just got it. And I thought,

186
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.080
you're lying to me. You've just been standing there the

187
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.840
whole time. But actually I looked on the camera and

188
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.000
he literally just got to the front door as I

189
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:50.159
opened it. Weird, I tell you what's stranger, which has

190
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.440
got probably not so much to do with Vikings as

191
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:58.720
you'd think. But I used to live in before while

192
00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:03.000
I was at college. There was this Yeah, I lived

193
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.000
in this bungle. It was actually wasn't a bungle. I

194
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:09.319
was a cottage and I lived downstairs in the kind

195
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.319
of I guess it was some kind of extension that

196
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:18.119
I lived in. But I lived in one of the rooms.

197
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.680
And I moved in No. Nombber two thousand and seven,

198
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:29.519
and I moved out January two thy eleven. So I

199
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.640
was there for over three years. Yeah, isn't it eight

200
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.359
nine ties? I was over over three years. I was there, No,

201
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.799
was it January or was it January February March maybe

202
00:17:41.839 --> 00:18:05.240
April March April time, twenty eleven, and I was gonna say,

203
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:10.839
distracted by the sounds outside. Yes, I was there for

204
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.880
three years. Over three years, I mean what November December

205
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.599
januy firm two and a quarter. Three and a quarty

206
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:25.279
years is quite a long time. And the daughter that

207
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:31.799
lived there, and she was blimey, probably thirty because I

208
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:37.000
was what forty forty by tom I moved out, so

209
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.559
she was probably about thirty. So I was like twenty

210
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.799
seven thirty when I was thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty

211
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:49.200
nine forty. And the amount of times started walk in

212
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.839
from the back that's where the where my room was,

213
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.559
in the bathroom, and I'd walk into the kitchen because

214
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.920
I shared the kitchen with them. I'd walk in and

215
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.599
she'd jump, or she'd walk into the room and i'd

216
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.400
have my back to her, just using the microwave or whatever,

217
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:10.079
and she'd jump, but she like sort of scream, not

218
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:15.160
screaming scream, but like, ah, it made me jump. I said,

219
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:19.920
I've lived there for forty five years. Get used to me, man, Okay,

220
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:21.480
I didn't say that, but I did say, look, I've

221
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.160
lived there for years now, like two and a half

222
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.319
years why are you still jumping when you see me? Said,

223
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:32.519
because you're naked now. She didn't say that, but she

224
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:44.960
did constantly like jump. I don't know why, considering they

225
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:50.920
had lodgers, I think for decades on and off, that

226
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.039
was a little way of them making getting a little

227
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:55.440
bit of money coming in. They had two rooms, and

228
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.480
they only rented out to students generally, so I had

229
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:04.279
that extra income coming in, which I imagine really helped

230
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.680
quite a bit actually over the years, because what was

231
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.160
I paying sixty five pounds a week? So it's one

232
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.160
hundred and six one hundred and thirty pounds a week

233
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:25.880
between the two rooms. So yeah, that's that's like sixty

234
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.319
grand over ten year period or so. You know, it's

235
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:38.960
probably paid for, paid for holidays and stuff. I don't know.

236
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.279
None of my business isn't really way ky baths, I've

237
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.920
stop past. I'm playing my belly button. I shouldn't really

238
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:51.359
tell you that, but I don't know why. I'm just

239
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.279
amazed at some of the things i'd find down there.

240
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:04.720
So but check that TV show out Norseman if you

241
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:09.359
want to, or let me know if there's any really

242
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:17.519
really good, like really good TV shows which have now

243
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.920
completed that I can watch from start to finish. I've

244
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.960
watched a lot, but I'm kind of in that midway

245
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:31.079
now of like, well, I don't know what to watch next.

246
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:34.920
And the last thing I really got into, I really

247
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:42.680
got into was Silo, and there was only two series

248
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:44.680
of that. I don't know if they're going to do

249
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:50.519
another one, but I really got into that, and yeah,

250
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.960
absolutely loved that show. I would have been much happier

251
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.359
if there'd been six or eight series, so I could

252
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:04.880
have watched the whole you know, from the start to finish.

253
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:15.839
But it's okay. Apparently here it says they didn't usually

254
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:26.960
call themselves Vikings. They identified by their homeland or clan. Okay,

255
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:41.559
because Norse, I suppose because it was Denmark Norway Norse

256
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.880
is is Norway? Norse? Are you? Are you in Norse

257
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.680
if you live in Norway, or if you're born in Norway?

258
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:50.759
Huh?

259
00:22:53.200 --> 00:23:03.640
So Vikings Viking may also relative fidge or vic, meaning

260
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.079
bay or creek where ships anchored. I think that's boring.

261
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:15.200
Viking society included influences from Slavic and other neighboring cultures.

262
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:26.759
I get the impression that, unlike the Romans, who seemed

263
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:33.759
to just pretty much take over where they went. The

264
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:40.559
Vikings would just visit temporarily, not all the time, but

265
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:44.559
they just they'd be they'd take what they wanted and

266
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:46.960
maybe stick around for a while and learn some new

267
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.240
stuff and you know, introduce it to their own kind

268
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.720
of way of life. And I'm talking about that without

269
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:02.039
any knowledge or whatsoever about anything. Ships were clink built,

270
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:10.799
clinker built planks overlapped for flexibility and strength. Does anyone

271
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.720
know what the word clinker built means, because I don't.

272
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:26.119
Long ships had shallow drafts, allowing beach landings and river

273
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:35.039
travel anyone, No, okay, nur Cargo ships could carry up

274
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:41.440
to twenty four tons. This is very I know it's trivia,

275
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:52.920
but this this seems to me like very factual. I'm

276
00:24:52.920 --> 00:25:00.559
getting bored reading it out. So here we go. Large

277
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.119
long ships could carry sixty or more warriors. Ships ship

278
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:15.960
types including Skeeds andaz neck as snickers snickers for warfare.

279
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:29.680
Famous finds include Gokstad and Osburgh ships. Dragonheads on ship

280
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:36.000
prows were meant to intimidate enemies and ships with status

281
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:44.720
symbols as much as a tool of war or trade.

282
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.480
This none of this is funny. I wanted some funny stuff.

283
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:53.759
Maybe there's nothing funny about This's is if I've got

284
00:25:53.759 --> 00:26:03.920
any other stuff at suther Look. Viking may also derive

285
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:10.039
from a term meaning sea mile or work related to ships. Okay,

286
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:25.279
I want to change this, right, Okay, Well the internet

287
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:28.240
does anything like that. I said, find me some funny stuff,

288
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:55.519
and it's not fair enough funny facts, right, Okay, Viking,

289
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:56.039
this is.

290
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.759
What I want.

291
00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.519
These are ten funny and odd Viking facts. This is

292
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.240
what I want, and I want to know about women

293
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:10.000
could own property and divorce their husbands. So that's the

294
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.440
vikings that wasn't even allowed in this country till about

295
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:18.880
fifty years ago. That's crazy, isn't it? Just how slow

296
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.000
we are? I mean, some Viking women traveled on raids

297
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:28.000
or trades. They do have that. On the show, it

298
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.880
seemed to be that there was two types of vikings.

299
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.000
Just this is going to be me basing on why.

300
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:42.279
I remember there was the farmers and the warriors. So

301
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.000
the ones that had a farm, and that seemed to

302
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:50.960
be the way to if you did really well, you'd

303
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.759
get given a bit of land and you could you know,

304
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:01.000
you could have a farm there and higher doing that,

305
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.960
or maybe you'd be born into farming and that's what

306
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:09.759
you'd do. Children learned farming. Adoption was a common practice

307
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:19.079
to strengthen alliances. I'm sure that that you should adopt

308
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:28.079
from another other tribes or other people, so to sort

309
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:36.400
of almost like marrying in to the you know, like France,

310
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:43.920
the king of France marrying a princess of Germany or

311
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.559
something like that. That kind of things that used to

312
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.079
go on. I think it was a little bit like that,

313
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:51.200
so it kind of kept the peace between them, so

314
00:28:51.359 --> 00:29:01.039
they would perhaps adopt. Wealth was measured in livestock as

315
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:09.759
well as silver. Jewelry often served as currency, and they

316
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:13.759
told epic poems to preserve history, which is why so

317
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:19.400
much of it is probably lies made up. I love

318
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:26.720
the way, do you know. So many of the most

319
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:36.599
classed as the most important books and stuff in human

320
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:43.759
society were from like thousands of years ago. And the

321
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.119
books weren't written thousands of years ago. They were passed

322
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:57.880
down verbally for thousands of years, and people take it

323
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:04.039
as verbatim that it's correct. Yeah, if you put twelve

324
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:09.039
people in a circle and whisper to each other something

325
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:12.640
as they pass it on you'll get a different message

326
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.640
at the end of it. You know, it's a paragraph.

327
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:24.920
Let's say, you know, not just like booby or hazel nuts.

328
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.079
You know, it's it's you know that you could probably

329
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.880
remember that. But if it was like an actual he

330
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:39.400
had greener hair, and he came down from the mountain

331
00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:47.039
and he said everyone must now have green hair in

332
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:56.799
order to be reborn as a fresh goblin. I don't know.

333
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.359
Something you know magical like that, And you just passed

334
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:06.359
that on whether it's twelve I mean, you think, okay,

335
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:13.799
one person, there's twelve people. One person equals one hundred

336
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:20.799
years in in you know, one hundred years or one

337
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:24.079
generation of person passing it down to the next generation.

338
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.759
How many generations would their beef in two and a

339
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:33.440
half thousand years? Quite a few. It's going to be

340
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:35.440
something different. You're going to get a different story at

341
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:39.839
the end of it. Hopefully maybe you'll get the same

342
00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:49.359
meaning of the story. I don't know. But things weren't

343
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:55.799
written down. There wasn't anywhere they're taking notes, like can

344
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:58.119
you start waiting a minute? What did you just say?

345
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:03.720
Could you say again? You're speaking too quick? It wasn't

346
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:14.720
a typewriter that'd be annoying, wouldn't it. Typewriters were so loud.

347
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.559
The Viking Age ended around a ten to sixty six,

348
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:29.519
marked by the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Kid, doak, all right,

349
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:33.519
let's go back. Let's go and find some So Vikings

350
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:38.640
bleached their beards green. Of course, I don't know if

351
00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:48.119
it's green. Not for fashion week but to kill lice. Oh,

352
00:32:51.519 --> 00:33:00.160
all right, so they I suppose bleach is a is

353
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:10.960
bleacher disinfectant? I don't know. They used to name their swords. Okay,

354
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:16.759
that's that makes sense, That isn't it. Camire pee wee,

355
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:21.559
kamire pee wee. I suppose is what kind of sword

356
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.640
it is? I suppose EXCaliber. I don't understood why they

357
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.720
named it EXCaliber, because I found that a difficult word

358
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.839
to say when I was a kid, and I realized

359
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:36.759
the book, you know, the story of King whatever his

360
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:42.759
name was, wasn't written just for me, King Charles. But

361
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:47.039
come on, EXCaliber. It was a real mouthful. I can

362
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:51.160
say it now. Perhaps I've always been able to say it.

363
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:55.839
Maybe that wasn't the word I was thinking of. The saurus,

364
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:04.559
the sort what that's a hard word. The theft hall

365
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.440
it's a weird word. I don't know dictionery, that's that's

366
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:20.800
where do they come up with these words? Goat powdered

367
00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:27.079
alarm systems, farms, Some tiede sometimes tied goats near their

368
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:31.440
house so that if raiders came at night, the goats

369
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.559
would panic and bleat, effectively making them viking burglar alarms.

370
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:41.440
Which is true, isn't it? Isn't that what people do

371
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:51.400
when they're camping in a place where there's bears? Why

372
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.000
would you? But hope some people would go camping in

373
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:58.280
a place where there's wild bears roaming around? Why would you?

374
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:03.440
I repeat again? And they put like bells and tins

375
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:10.119
and stuff around the around the tent as if hearing

376
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.039
it coming is going to help you in some way.

377
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:19.519
I mean, why one more time? Why? Why would you?

378
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:22.960
That's one of the good things about living in this

379
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:31.400
country is we don't have bears. We don't have lions

380
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:39.039
other than in the zoo. We don't have that stuff

381
00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:43.679
in the wild. I mean we do. I suppose there

382
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.400
are there are wildcats that are probably well that are

383
00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.119
a bigger than the average. And I think it was

384
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.480
parts of Scotland, was it Wales? I think it was Scotland,

385
00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:06.599
where the government were intending to reintroduce wolves. Okay, I

386
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.400
didn't really understand. I mean, that's that's like, let's introduce

387
00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:18.199
poisonous snakes as well. What's why I mean it? This

388
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:23.960
is a relatively safe country when it comes to wildlife.

389
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:26.280
I think the only the only animals really got to

390
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:28.480
be care a little bit careful of. What probably a

391
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:34.400
lot careful of is cattle, because they can be you know,

392
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:36.840
if you're going through a field and there's a cow

393
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:41.440
or bull or even a horse, and horses and cattle,

394
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:46.760
but you know, if they decide they take a dislike

395
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:51.199
to you being in there, in their home, in their place,

396
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.239
then you know it's not not great place, your situation

397
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.280
for you to be in. I feel I got chased

398
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:09.679
by a ball once. I can't remember. Yeah, I think

399
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:11.320
I was a little bit too fast through it though,

400
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.159
and I was very close. I kind of climbed over

401
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:17.599
the fence and I saw it and I claimed back.

402
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.920
I claimed back, claimed I climbed back over the fence again,

403
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:25.599
and I'm not sure how fast I could move these days.

404
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:29.320
But I was only a kid, and I went home

405
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:32.880
and told everyone that I just won against a ball

406
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:37.280
and they came and saw it. Everyone was like excited

407
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:42.960
to see this ball that I defeated and turned out

408
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:48.000
as a rabbit. But it doesn't matter, you know, still one.

409
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:55.280
They used a poop based insult. No, I can't stand

410
00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:01.039
that kind of insulting people using poop based stuff. So

411
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:13.320
in sagas, calling someone annoyingly cowardly was bad, but skit

412
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:20.440
skit cast literally meaning throwing poop was worse. Yes, poo

413
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:24.960
flinging was both a really a reality and an insult.

414
00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:31.119
They used to chuck pooh. Who's pooh? There? Pooh? Did

415
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.119
they have it already in a bag? Walk around the

416
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:39.800
bags of pooh? That's weird. God, they must have stunk.

417
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:51.559
They had a game called Nataluk and the rules are unclear,

418
00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:55.760
but shoving, tackling, and accidentally bone breaking were apparently part

419
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:02.960
of the part of it. Basically Viking rugby rugby without

420
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:10.960
a ball what they're basically a fight, really, and they

421
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:18.760
loved combs about any Vikings. Archaeologists keep finding combes in

422
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:29.320
Viking graves, suggesting that grooming was serious business. So I

423
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.000
suppose I mean I had long hair. I used to

424
00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:36.519
have long hair. A comb was almost impossible for me.

425
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.159
To put through it. I used a brush, but putting

426
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:42.119
a comb through my hair was very because I had

427
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:47.920
such curly hair. If they had fine hair, although I

428
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:49.920
suppose when the hair is wet it's easier for the

429
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:54.800
comb to go through. But quite often what I'd have

430
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.280
to do is I'd have to crunch up my hair

431
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:04.119
and put come through the end, you know, so that

432
00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:13.639
it didn't pull on the roots, it didn't hurt. One

433
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:21.679
saga tells of a berserker berserker deserter or berserker berserker

434
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:32.440
biting his own shield, supposedly to psych himself up. I

435
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:35.039
don't know. I mean, the shields are pretty made of wood,

436
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:41.320
weren't they not metal? Tell you what I noticed when

437
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:43.079
I was at school now, oh yeah, when I was

438
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:47.719
a kid, went into some of these places to see Vikings,

439
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:56.280
the Normans, the Romans, the various different people that basically

440
00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:02.360
raided and invaded my country over history. Lots and lots

441
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.039
of places, lots and lots of people, and me, I

442
00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.800
actually live in a Roman, a Roman town. This was

443
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:13.519
this used to be the capital of the country. This town, well,

444
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:18.119
this is now a city. But there's no difference. When

445
00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:24.920
they I get the words out in a minute when

446
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:30.440
the government decide a town is a city, do you

447
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:41.440
know what happens? Nothing? Nothing happens, nothing at all. It

448
00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:47.840
makes no difference. I don't know if they do it

449
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:54.360
based on the amount of people that live there. But

450
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:59.400
there's a big difference between cities in this country. So

451
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.400
there's one big city in the hole of this country,

452
00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:11.119
and that's London. There's lots of other cities, but that's

453
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.360
you know, no other city has what London has. I'm

454
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.920
not saying it's better than anywhere else because obviously it's not.

455
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.679
Because I know for a fact that so many of

456
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:24.920
my listeners are from other parts of the country. So

457
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:29.599
and I love you and live is so much. Especially

458
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.760
in fact, I'm going to do this. I'm just going

459
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:36.559
to have a quick stat statistic break. Okay you might think,

460
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:41.960
oh that, don't worry about it, stop moaning. Right, look

461
00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:48.400
at this right geolocation, United Kingdom, just the last thirty

462
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:56.239
days Newcastle upon Tyne five hundred and fifty four downloads

463
00:42:56.559 --> 00:43:00.000
just in the last thirty days from Newcastle upon Tyne

464
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:03.639
five hundred and forty seven in Bristol, one hundred and

465
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:09.880
eighty six in Birmingham, London eighty two so you know,

466
00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:14.719
I'm definitely not sort of like all London's so great,

467
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.480
even though I did live there for twelve years when

468
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:20.920
I was born there. But I'm not saying that because

469
00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:29.239
Bristol is also a city, as is Birmingham, as is Leeds,

470
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:37.199
as is Nottingham, as is a hull I think. And

471
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:45.360
where else have we got a city? For some reason?

472
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:48.480
Manchester's not on are No one in Manchester likes me?

473
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.559
I'm upset about that. Just love me? I was want

474
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:59.159
to be loved. Can you love me? Manchester? No one

475
00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:05.800
in Manchester listens to my recordings? According to this, that's weird.

476
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:10.679
Southampton that's a city as well. I think Chester, I

477
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:15.480
think that's a city. Chasuck Bolton. Bolton's a city, isn't it.

478
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.239
Actually I've got people in London. It's just different parts

479
00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:27.559
of London, so Hackney, Greenwich, Newham, Camden, so there's quite

480
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.119
a few parts of London that people are listening to me.

481
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.880
Wembley that's one of my biggest Yeah, So it's just

482
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.320
I don't know why it's got London on its own.

483
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.280
I guess that must be the city of London. Maybe

484
00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:47.960
I don't know. Scotland my biggest place listener is Glasgow.

485
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:55.880
So who in Newcastle listens to me? Send me some messages?

486
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:59.119
Come on, give me some messages, some comments. You don't

487
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.320
have to post them on We don't have to do anything,

488
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.159
but you can post them on my website if you want.

489
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:10.440
Just send me a contact message and just say who

Where else? Utah, Florida? I thought California was Florida. That

522
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:20.159
just shows how ignorant I am, doesn't it? My ignorance

523
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:25.639
astonishes me. I don't know what to do with myself. Sometimes,

I'm mentioning, give me a cheer. Yay, that was finely

560
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:26.360
interesting where people are from? What other country? Should just

561
00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:30.559
go to a different country? Now let's go to So

562
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:35.480
the United States I get the most listens. Then United Kingdom,

563
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:44.239
Then Australia, so Victoria, Victoria is Melbourne, I get the

564
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:55.119
most in Victoria, New South Wales. Sydney, also got Central Coast, Albury, etc. Queensland.

565
00:52:55.239 --> 00:53:01.039
I got Brisbane, which is the most place people listens.

566
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:09.280
You've got Rosalie Plaine, Sunshine Coast, sah Australia Adelaide, that's

567
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:16.480
the most there. And Tasmania is Hobart and Launcetonton, Launston

568
00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:24.480
and then Western Australia Perth is the main one. Okay cool.

569
00:53:26.679 --> 00:53:34.280
So after that we've got Canada, Ontario, so Toronto. If

570
00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.280
you're in Canada, give me a shout out, maybe send

571
00:53:37.320 --> 00:53:42.599
me a message that's yeah, that's the most listened place.

572
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:46.480
It's in Toronto. Then you've got Hamilton Picker in Saint

573
00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:54.599
Thomas Baden, Niagara, Falls. I thought Niagara Falls. That's loud,

574
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.679
wasn't it. I thought, Niagara Falls and America? Is this

575
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:03.679
a genuine question? Does Niagara Falls kind of meet with America?

576
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:07.000
Is that kind of where you just you can walk

577
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.679
through and go to Niagara Falls, but it's part of

578
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:13.840
America and part of Canada. It's kind of like always

579
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:17.920
in a completely different place. And the reason I asked

580
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:23.480
that is because my only real experience of Niagara Falls

581
00:54:25.079 --> 00:54:29.920
was the Superman movie. I don't know if it was

582
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:31.599
the first one or the second one. I think it

583
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:36.880
was the first one, the very first Superman movie and

584
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:44.239
with Christopher Eve yeah and the and yeah, So they

585
00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:50.360
were at Niagara Falls. Now. I just assumed that at

586
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:53.639
the time, because you know, it's only there's only a youngster.

587
00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:57.039
At the time, I assumed it was in America, And

588
00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:04.400
then just now I realized i've and I was in Canada.

589
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:06.719
I don't know, I didn't. I'm not saying I've always

590
00:55:06.719 --> 00:55:11.119
thought it was in America, but I did. I kind

591
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:13.559
of knew where it was now. But I just wonder

592
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:21.000
if it's kind of on the threshold, because like in Scotland,

593
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:26.360
it's you've got whales and you've got other parts. So

594
00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:29.079
I'll give you an example or ant. If I had

595
00:55:29.079 --> 00:55:35.960
done all the I just go British Columbia, Campbell River, Okay,

596
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:40.039
I know quite a few others. Alberta, Calgary. So if

597
00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:46.119
you're in Alberta anywhere, Quebec, Wow, Montreal, I've got people

598
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:50.440
listening in Montreal. Hey. Loads of place, honestly, hundreds and

599
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:53.719
hundreds and hundreds of different places where people are listening

600
00:55:53.760 --> 00:56:02.519
to me. From Winnipeggy, Winnipeg, New Brunswick, ed Minston, sas

601
00:56:03.079 --> 00:56:10.480
get Che, Sets sas get Che one. Wasn't there a

602
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:16.000
place called set sketcher one in America? I'm thinking there was.

603
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:22.840
I really am thinking there was. So I'm thinking, oh, okay,

604
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.679
that's confusing. New Brunswick, Edmondston, Saint John, Okay, Sets Squtch.

605
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:43.719
See that's confusing, right, so New Brunswick. So let's let's

606
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:56.519
sketch Okay, right? Yeah? Where did I see set Scratchean Quebec, No, Winnipeg,

607
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:06.320
are getting confused now? So in Yeah, in Scotland, there's

608
00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:09.679
a part we known Wales. There's a part which is

609
00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:17.039
kind of English and Wales. There's like places that are

610
00:57:17.159 --> 00:57:22.159
just kind of on the border because because we were

611
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.760
tiny in this country, we were a tiny little country,

612
00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:28.400
tiny little island. Can't call ourself a country, can we.

613
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.199
But England's a country, Scotland's a country, Wales is a country,

614
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:40.199
Northern Ireland and quite a few other islands and stuff

615
00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:48.800
or part of the UK. So but we're a little island.

616
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:56.360
And so the border is almost invisible between Scotland and Wales,

617
00:57:56.679 --> 00:57:59.840
or Scotland and England and then England and Wales. Is

618
00:58:00.239 --> 00:58:03.719
it's I mean, borders were invisible, weren't they really generally

619
00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:08.000
unless you've got a big war, we're going to build

620
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.599
a big wall. Unless you've got a big wall, it's.

621
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:20.920
Yeah, strange what we're doing.

622
00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:25.039
Okay, So that's I mean. Also, it's not just there.

623
00:58:25.159 --> 00:58:30.880
I've got Canada, I've got Malta, Ireland. Malta's the one,

624
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:36.800
two three fourth. Malta is my fourth most listened to.

625
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:42.960

631
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:36.199
many people. I'm not saying this to Bragg, although I'm

632
00:59:36.239 --> 00:59:39.480

00:59:43.239 --> 00:59:48.239
button during this recorded. That's just wrong. I haven't. I've

00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:57.559

for listening. Thank you to everyone for listening. New Zealand

640
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:22.519
used to be like fourth on the list. It used

641
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:25.559
to be. I'm sort of over the years. I mean,

642
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:28.400
I'm doing this nearly twenty years now, but over it

643
01:00:28.480 --> 01:00:33.280
used to be kind of. America's always been at the top.

644
01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:36.280
They've always been the most because it's i mean, it's

645
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:42.320
a much bigger country, especially English speaking country, out of

646
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:45.840
everywhere else, Like as far as population goes, I know,

647
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:50.440
Canada is a bigger country, but population wise, America's got

648
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:54.679
what three sixty three hundred and sixty million. We've got

649
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:58.360
about seventy odd million here. Canada's got a thing about

650
01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:02.079
forty million. I might be wrong on that one, but

651
01:01:03.719 --> 01:01:16.480
it's Australia probably what sixty million? New Zealand I guess.

652
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.400
I don't know how many people in New Zealand, But

653
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:24.880
New Zealand used to be like fourth because it was

654
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:28.400
predominantly English speaking countries that would be listening to me

655
01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:32.039
or watching me on YouTube. But I think it's really

656
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:37.960
groovy that people from other countries that are actually learning

657
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:44.760
English so they can listen to me. So that's devotion

658
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:49.320
that people from all over the world have learned a

659
01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.679
completely different language just so they could listen to me.

660
01:01:54.280 --> 01:02:02.880
That's amazing, isn't it. Oh dear, do you fit anyone

661
01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:08.320
actually believes that? I believe that, but that I really

662
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:13.239
I do appreciate everyone who listens. Genuinely, I got bored

663
01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:16.599
at the Viking stuff. I'm sorry it was there wasn't

664
01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:23.320
a lot coming up with that. Dubai or United Arab Emirates,

665
01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:31.039
so so you've got Dubai. So if you're in Dubai, Hello, hi,

666
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:34.559
Abu Dhabi. I'd like to come visit Dubai. I have

667
01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:37.320
actually visited once, but only got as far as the

668
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:43.920
airport because it was a stopover. I mean, legally I

669
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:46.440
wasn't allowed out of the airport, so I wasn't going

670
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:50.639
to be getting out. But it's I don't think. I

671
01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:54.199
don't know. If you get to a stopover at an airport,

672
01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:58.360
Let's say you're on the way to Thailand from England

673
01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:03.199
and you're stop over and you stop off at Sweden,

674
01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:08.920
for example, or Dubai, if you ask permission and say

675
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:12.800
I've decided to I want to stay here for a

676
01:03:12.800 --> 01:03:16.679
bit and get them in a hotel, and I want

677
01:03:16.719 --> 01:03:20.760
to sort of perhaps travel around Sweden and because I've

678
01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:24.079
heard that it's an amazing place, or I want to

679
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:29.320
stop and hang around in Dubai and meet the amazing

680
01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:34.079
people there. Whatever would they allow it?

681
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:37.519
I don't know.

682
01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:43.679
I suppose it depends upon visus, doesn't it. I wonder

683
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:50.280
if anyone's ever done that. I wonder if you could

684
01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:55.400
just walk out, because if you didn't have any if

685
01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:57.639
all you had was your hand luggage, which is what

686
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:00.519
I do. I don't take luggage on it on a plane,

687
01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:03.159
I just take my hand luggage. So if you've all

688
01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:07.880
only got your hand luggage. Then I wonder if you

689
01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:10.559
could just leave the airport.

690
01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:12.239
And just.

691
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:16.559
I don't know, just go go and have a look

692
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:21.960
around that way. Because on the way back from Thailand,

693
01:04:22.079 --> 01:04:28.960
like many years back, the stopover coming back was Sweden. Yeah,

694
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:34.800
what's Sweden? And it's really I've never seen so many

695
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:39.079
blonde people before. It was really weird. It's like just

696
01:04:40.559 --> 01:04:45.079
we have blonde people in England, but they don't normally congregate.

697
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:52.360
We keep them apart. No, we don't. It was just weird,

698
01:04:52.440 --> 01:04:55.199
like every single person that worked in that I saw

699
01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:58.760
in the airport, very small airport that there was a

700
01:04:58.800 --> 01:05:05.400
bit that I was in all blonde. It was like, wow,

701
01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:10.760
So I haven't I'm not sure if I've really met

702
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:15.239
many Swedish people. I probably haven't met a couple. I've

703
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:18.679
met a lot of people from different countries. This is

704
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:21.679
when I lived in London. I've met people from pretty

705
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:23.679
much every country in the world. I reckon at some

706
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:28.840
point and worked with them as well, because I've you know,

707
01:05:28.880 --> 01:05:31.480
I had so many different jobs over the years, so

708
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:39.639
I've worked with people from every every everywhere, even if

709
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:45.760
it was just for a day. I don't remember and

710
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:48.360
I've dated quite a few people a long time ago,

711
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:57.039
but they were people from ladies from I think let's

712
01:05:57.039 --> 01:06:02.480
have a look countries of our dated women, ladies from

713
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:08.480
when I was a younger man. The United Kingdom. Never

714
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.320
dated anyone from Australia, although I did kind of go

715
01:06:11.400 --> 01:06:13.480
on a date with someone from Australia, but that was

716
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:21.440
as far as it got. Not Canada, Malta, Ireland to

717
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:28.000
date someone from Ireland. Never dated anyone from France or Sweden, Denmark,

718
01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:34.280
I did, Chechia, I don't think so. New Zealand. No,

719
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:40.639
United Arab Emirates. No, Spain kind of dated a lady

720
01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:48.880
from Spain in the nineties. Norway, yes. Russia No, but

721
01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:51.079
I had a couple of quite good friends from Russia.

722
01:06:52.199 --> 01:06:55.480
A man and he was a professor, he was a

723
01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:59.559
psychiatrist and his wife and they came over and they

724
01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:03.719
were working in the comedy club just wait, waitering and stuff.

725
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:06.800
And I've gone really well with them, like really well

726
01:07:07.719 --> 01:07:15.239
lovely people, and I was supposed to visit them but

727
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:20.960
just never got around to it. Greece I kind of

728
01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:26.480
dated someone that was from Greece once. Germany, Yeah, dated

729
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:33.079
someone from Germany. Mexico not that I know of, and

730
01:07:33.119 --> 01:07:41.960
I don't think so. No South Korea, No, Israel, No,

731
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:46.639
I don't think so. Japan, No, South Africa.

732
01:07:47.159 --> 01:07:57.199
Yes, Nyan, Ma, Nian Mar.

733
01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:01.559
What did that used to be it? I used to

734
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:04.280
have a different name, didn't it. I don't know what.

735
01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:21.399
I'm confused now. Algeria, I don't think so. I'm not sure. Malaysia, No, Thailand. Yeah.

736
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:24.640
The thing is I know that people there are people

737
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:30.000
listening right now that are living in China. So everyone

738
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:34.039
say hi, you a big shout out if you're from China.

739
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:36.640
Now it's not going to be listened on here because

740
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:40.920
the only way people from China can listen to me

741
01:08:41.600 --> 01:08:45.119
is by using a one of those what I don't

742
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:51.079
know what they call them DNS things, which is a DNS.

743
01:08:52.159 --> 01:09:01.600
It basically allows you to use the Internet and put

744
01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:06.760
in it makes it out that you're from a different country. Yeah,

745
01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:11.159
because I think the well, clearly Russian don't have an issue.

746
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:14.600
Their internet's fine. I've got people from all over Russia

747
01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:18.760
listen to me. But I think China their internet doesn't.

748
01:09:19.319 --> 01:09:22.000
I've been told that. I've actually had people contact and

749
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:27.520
tell me that they listen through a what's it called

750
01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:32.680
it's like an Internet thing where you change it so

751
01:09:32.760 --> 01:09:39.479
it looks like you're based in America or in Canada

752
01:09:39.600 --> 01:09:43.239
or somewhere, which means then you can view stuff in

753
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:46.640
America or in the UK, or maybe they're put down

754
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:50.279
there in London and they can then listen to my recordings.

755
01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:55.079
It just feels nice that people are going to all

756
01:09:55.079 --> 01:09:58.079
that effort in order to listen to me. So I appreciate.

757
01:10:00.520 --> 01:10:02.880
I'm not sure if there is anyone, but yeah, I

758
01:10:02.920 --> 01:10:10.600
do appreciate anyone that's listening to me. It's been a

759
01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:17.520
while since I did the stats. I'm quite excited by it. Well,

760
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:23.000
I don't what I haven't done though, is SoundCloud see

761
01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:27.159
that I've done the speaker stats. I don't know what

762
01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:29.800
the stats are on my website because I don't get

763
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:37.439
stats on there for some reason. And but the stats

764
01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:47.039
for my website of my SoundCloud sorry, if I look

765
01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:52.920
at the top locations, Melbourne, the countries, United States of

766
01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:58.199
America is number one. This is on my SoundCloud thing.

767
01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:06.600
Australia's number two, two, then United Kingdom's number three, Germany, Canada, Mexico,

768
01:11:07.680 --> 01:11:23.000
Czech Republic, Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, France, India, Ukraine, Netherlands, Micronesia,

769
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:40.039
Federal States of Portugal, Vietnam, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Ethiopia, Belgium, Norway, Brazil,

770
01:11:40.520 --> 01:12:09.319
Hong Kong, Kosovo, Egypt, Russian Russian Federation, Ireland, Georgia, Sweden, Morocco, Kuwait, Panama, Israel, Indonesia, Iraq, Lithuania, Lithuania, Chile, Sudan, Mongolia, Latvia,

771
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:18.840
Lao People's Democratic Republic, Poland, South Africa, Taiwan, Province of China.

772
01:12:18.960 --> 01:12:29.279
All look virgin Ireland's, US, Greece and the top. I mean,

773
01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:34.640
this is like the last thirty days. So if I

774
01:12:34.720 --> 01:12:40.119
go for the top, one's Melbourne, I'm going to guess Molly.

775
01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.800
There's Molly. Molly, do you live in Melbourne? Molly. Molly's

776
01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:47.479
the boss of the Facebook group Jason Newland's bowling group.

777
01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:52.880
This has turned into a real chat, hasn't it. It's

778
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:57.760
been quite nice, just a real chit chat. I know,

779
01:12:57.880 --> 01:13:01.079
you know, it started off all let's all talk about vikings,

780
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:05.680
and I know you've probably really excited, like, oh, you

781
01:13:05.800 --> 01:13:08.159
waited your whole life to hear me talk about vikings,

782
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:11.520
but I don't know. And then I moved into stats

783
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:16.520
and then. But I think it's been a bit more interactive.

784
01:13:18.119 --> 01:13:21.199
I feel like I've included you instead of just talking

785
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:25.119
at you. Maybe I haven't. Maybe it's all in my mind,

786
01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:34.359
like so many other things. Melbourne, So I think Molly,

787
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.239
But it won't just be Molly because there's been way

788
01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:46.840
too many Unless Molly is playing my recordings continuously twenty

789
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:57.319
four hours a day on about fifty different mechanical things,

790
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:00.239
you know, then it wouldn't just be Molly. But I'm

791
01:14:00.279 --> 01:14:04.159
thinking that seems to be the top. So Melbourne. These

792
01:14:04.159 --> 01:14:10.399
are the cities Boardman, Phoenix, the Boardman's second, it's in America,

793
01:14:10.840 --> 01:14:21.840
Phoenix's third, Chicago's fourth, falcon Stein, which is Germany. That

794
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:28.600
might be Sebastian. I don't know. Toronto and Oakland, so

795
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:35.760
Toronto's Canada, Oakland and Portland then as America, then Encinada

796
01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:45.520
and which is Mexico. Then Prague, which is Czech Republic.

797
01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:57.119
Then then the rest these as America, so Sterling, New York, Ashbourn, Portage, Minuka, Minuka.

798
01:14:57.239 --> 01:14:57.680
Isn't that a.

799
01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:02.600
Honey Alpha Pritt? That is that where the honey's from?

800
01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:10.159
Maybe I don't know. Columbus and Kingsport, Kingsport. Then you

801
01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:14.359
got Bradford. Wow, all those until we get suddenly we

802
01:15:14.399 --> 01:15:18.359
get to somewhere from England. So SoundCloud doesn't seem to

803
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:24.079
be listened to by people from England so much. Bradford.

804
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:32.119
Then TURNG Turnger, which I do believe is New Zealand. Yes,

805
01:15:33.560 --> 01:15:39.880
New Zealand. Yeah, New Zealand. Commerce. So here's a bit

806
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:42.079
of a weird fact about me. I did used to

807
01:15:42.119 --> 01:15:46.960
study flags. I got quite excited by them. It was

808
01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:52.960
a short period in my life, but it happened. I

809
01:15:53.039 --> 01:15:56.039
basically had a book of flags and for some reason

810
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:03.119
it stimulated my brain. O Trianga. So that's then you've

811
01:16:03.119 --> 01:16:13.720
got commerce. To see in a city, that is, to

812
01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:19.039
see a city. I'm trying to memorize the flag to

813
01:16:19.119 --> 01:16:28.520
do it. For some reason, it's hiding from me. Philippines. No,

814
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:38.720
to see Lucina City is the Philippines. It is the Philippines.

815
01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:47.279
Cool Camden, which is America, not the UK. Camden, Las

816
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:53.880
Crusis and Arlington America, London an America, game, San Jos

817
01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:58.239
and Calamou Zoo Calama Zoo. What' wasn't that? The name of

818
01:16:58.239 --> 01:17:02.560
a band in the eighties is Kalamazoo. Then you've got

819
01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:09.720
Luton and Altrincham in England, Fresno in America, Oldham in

820
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:15.279
the UK. There's so many, so many. Frankfurt am Maine,

821
01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.920
which I'm pretty sure is Germany. Just the fact that

822
01:17:18.960 --> 01:17:24.840
it says Frankfurt is a clue, isn't it. And then

823
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.159
you've got is that sausage, isn't it? Frankfurt's what it

824
01:17:28.199 --> 01:17:36.399
stands for, sausage Texakana, Richardson, Dublin, Stockton, Morristown and Denton

825
01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:46.960
I Sat America. Manchester is England, Milwaukee and Yonkers is America.

826
01:17:47.560 --> 01:18:02.479
Then you've got North York, which is Canada, Canadi North York. Oh, Ammon, Ammon,

827
01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:11.319
don't know. Let's say a look, that's that is Jordan's

828
01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:16.479
in Jordan. Ammon is in Jordan. If it's not, please

829
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:20.319
forgive me. But I'm trying to skip around and find

830
01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:23.600
the different flags. Then you've got Leeds and Chipping, Norton,

831
01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:39.279
Aura or Aurora area, I don't know, Liverpool, Paris and Olympia.

832
01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:43.840
Olympia that's where Zeus lives. So yeah, I've got quite

833
01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:54.199
a few places. Wow, And that's just SoundCloud. So there's

834
01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:58.439
quite a few different. I mean in Russia, I've got

835
01:18:59.479 --> 01:19:09.039
men Mermansk, Moscow are changed yer chib Lanc. I'm not

836
01:19:09.079 --> 01:19:10.760
gonna try and pronounce it that. I don't want to

837
01:19:10.840 --> 01:19:21.000
upset anyone. Shelley Banks, sinks or Blast Kermit Kermroe, comover Oblast,

838
01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:35.359
samarat Oblast, amm Oblast, Burietia Republic, pres New York, Trey Novice,

839
01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:43.039
bursks Oblast, viv Oblast, Saint Petersburg. I think that's when

840
01:19:43.079 --> 01:19:47.880
my dad went. My dad went and visited Russia many many, many, many,

841
01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:55.680
many many years ago, verd losks Oblost, yevoslak or Blost

842
01:19:56.119 --> 01:20:01.840
other See what my dad's done is as he's retired

843
01:20:01.960 --> 01:20:05.520
or when he retired, he decided he wanted to travel

844
01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:08.039
because he didn't really get a chance to travel when

845
01:20:08.079 --> 01:20:11.960
he was because he went from raising us to then

846
01:20:13.279 --> 01:20:19.960
he got he basically his first marriage he had three kids,

847
01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:25.319
and then his second marriage he had another kid, and

848
01:20:25.319 --> 01:20:33.079
then his third marriage he had two young kids already there,

849
01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:36.800
if you know what I mean. So he was sort

850
01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:43.239
of he couldn't really sort of get away I suppose,

851
01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:53.520
like gone abroad holidays until he retired. And yeah, he's

852
01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:56.359
really made the most of it. It's been quite a

853
01:20:56.399 --> 01:21:01.359
lot of places. I think it's brilliant kind of I'm

854
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:05.800
starting to think for myself about how I'd like to

855
01:21:05.840 --> 01:21:09.439
proceed in the future, for my you know, my own

856
01:21:09.640 --> 01:21:18.039
kind of life. I really fancy going on cruises because

857
01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:21.760
I think I could do it and do my recordings

858
01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:27.680
while I was on the cruise, and then i'd have

859
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:30.840
something to talk about as well, because I'd be going

860
01:21:30.840 --> 01:21:36.640
on excursions and there'd be all kinds of weird things happen.

861
01:21:36.680 --> 01:21:40.600
I suppose over time it'd just be nice to go

862
01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:46.840
on a few cruises a year, travel the world and have,

863
01:21:47.159 --> 01:21:50.479
you know, take my microphone with me and just you know,

864
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:56.560
just talk and go through what's happening, and it'd be brilliant.

865
01:21:56.640 --> 01:21:58.920
I'd love to do that. I mean, I know I

866
01:21:58.920 --> 01:22:01.359
couldn't do it all the time because of the little

867
01:22:01.359 --> 01:22:04.640
one here. But I've got someone, he's got his money,

868
01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:07.920
he can stay with for a couple, you know, a

869
01:22:07.920 --> 01:22:12.359
week or two at a time, you know, so I

870
01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:16.960
could go away a couple of times a year on

871
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:20.960
a cruise, even if it was just around these shores.

872
01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:29.840
Just be nice to have something too. I've always liked

873
01:22:31.239 --> 01:22:35.399
cruise ships or ships, you know, going across the Channel.

874
01:22:35.560 --> 01:22:37.479
And that's as far as I've done on a ship

875
01:22:37.520 --> 01:22:41.319
is just go to France, or to Amsterdam, or to

876
01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:47.119
Belgium or to Ireland. That's the four places I've been

877
01:22:47.399 --> 01:22:51.920
on ships. But did Belgium? Might that? Did that trip

878
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:59.000
like three times? I think I did the Ireland trip twice.

879
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.560
I went. I went to Paris as well France. What

880
01:23:03.119 --> 01:23:16.039
did I say, so Belgium? What's the next one? France?

881
01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:28.600
The next one Amsterdam, the next one Ireland? That was it,

882
01:23:28.680 --> 01:23:32.840
isn't it? It's only four? Did I say a number

883
01:23:32.840 --> 01:23:35.840
one before that? I can't remember. I don't think I've

884
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:41.800
been anywhere else. Oh, No, Isle of Man, Island Man.

885
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:44.640
That was still a ferry. It was still so Isle

886
01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:50.279
of Man. I'm trying to think of ever been anywhere else?

887
01:23:50.319 --> 01:23:55.000
I think that's it. Ireland. I include Island. The nice

888
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:59.800
is five. I've been on five fairies, like five fairy journeys,

889
01:24:01.399 --> 01:24:20.359
different destinations. That is so, Belgium, France, Ireland in order.

890
01:24:20.439 --> 01:24:30.920
I'm just trying to think Island, Amsterdam, Island Man. I

891
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:36.000
haven't been on a ferry in twenty one years, I

892
01:24:36.039 --> 01:24:40.239
don't think, have I No, I don't think I have.

893
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:45.199
I mean, yeah, I no.

894
01:24:49.680 --> 01:24:53.479
So it's five different destinations on a ferry and what

895
01:24:53.520 --> 01:25:07.399
I've been on a plane Spain, Bulgaria, Thailand, anywhere else.

896
01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:12.720
That's it. So basically I have technically been to I

897
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:16.039
mean Island Man is in a different country because part

898
01:25:16.079 --> 01:25:20.000
of the UK. Mind you, Scotland is a different country

899
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:23.119
and that's part of the UK. So I'm confused. Is

900
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:27.319
Island Man a different country because it's a different island.

901
01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:30.920
There is c between us as there is with Ireland.

902
01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:37.279
And I don't think the news say the island of

903
01:25:37.319 --> 01:25:40.119
Ireland anymore. They went through a period and it kept

904
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:47.960
saying the island of Ireland, and I love them. I

905
01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:50.439
don't love it actually, but the way the news tries

906
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:56.600
to educate the population. For years, and I'm talking years

907
01:25:56.600 --> 01:25:59.319
and years and years, as far back as I remember,

908
01:26:02.199 --> 01:26:08.079
Kiev like chicken, Kiev, the you know, the food that

909
01:26:08.199 --> 01:26:11.159
people we have, and the place was called the same,

910
01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:15.880
we called it Kiev. And then a couple of years ago,

911
01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:20.680
three years ago, maybe I don't know, the news channels

912
01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:24.760
decided they started off calling it Kiev and then it

913
01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:31.399
changed it. It said Kiev. It's Kiev like done with Hyundai.

914
01:26:33.119 --> 01:26:36.880
It took years to learn that word. Now it's who

915
01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:45.199
who or something I know at least lead or gave

916
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:48.960
up on it. They gave up on us because this country,

917
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:55.640
we are very proud of our ignorance and we don't

918
01:26:55.680 --> 01:26:58.199
like getting told what to say or how to pronounce words.

919
01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:04.079
Don't like it told to do, and we were not

920
01:27:04.119 --> 01:27:11.439
going to change. It's one of our idiosyncricities, maybe idiosyncricities,

921
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:19.640
idiosyncricity disease. So when Little came along, well Ledal, they

922
01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:22.800
kept trying to tell Leedal, no, I ain't doing it.

923
01:27:24.560 --> 01:27:27.520
We refused, and it's really weird because we didn't have

924
01:27:27.560 --> 01:27:32.159
to get together as a country. We just instinctively knew

925
01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:37.479
that we were never going to use the term Ledal.

926
01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:45.600
It was going to be little, sorry little, not Ledal Little,

927
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:50.359
And eventually, after about twenty five years they gave up.

928
01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:54.520
They really went on for years and years calling it

929
01:27:54.600 --> 01:27:57.920
Leedal and eventually they just had to give up. And

930
01:27:57.920 --> 01:28:01.520
now they call it little them so on the adverts

931
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:07.760
little it costs little at little so either've even rhynd

932
01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:10.279
it now in the adverts, not that I see a

933
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:21.359
lot of adverts luckily hair leadle. That's complicated we can't learn.

934
01:28:21.640 --> 01:28:25.159
I mean, I don't know if it's just the way

935
01:28:25.479 --> 01:28:31.600
that English people's tongues move, but it seems to be

936
01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:40.319
difficult as an English person to pronounce long names. I

937
01:28:40.359 --> 01:28:45.239
don't know why that is. It's not through lack of attempting,

938
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:50.159
well a little bit, but it's so You've got some

939
01:28:50.199 --> 01:28:53.359
countries where the names are really long, like the surname,

940
01:28:55.600 --> 01:28:58.159
but it's really easy for them to pronounce it. I mean,

941
01:28:58.159 --> 01:29:02.199
you could argue, well, it's their name, but it's not

942
01:29:02.279 --> 01:29:07.720
just that. It's just they used to be long. They're

943
01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:11.880
not probably long to them, but they are long names,

944
01:29:12.159 --> 01:29:19.279
long surnames. And if I see a name, it's basically

945
01:29:19.319 --> 01:29:23.600
like a To me, it looks like a sentence that's

946
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:27.159
been squashed together, that has had all the gaps taken out.

947
01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:30.119
And I'm like, how am I supposed to say that?

948
01:29:32.000 --> 01:29:35.119
Because you know, I don't want to say it, I

949
01:29:35.159 --> 01:29:40.399
don't want to say it wrongly. But I'm okay because

950
01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:43.119
I'm in the position where I don't learn people's names anyway,

951
01:29:43.680 --> 01:29:51.039
so I still call people mate. You might mate twenty years.

952
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:57.199
I've been around here ten years, and I probably know

953
01:29:57.359 --> 01:30:02.119
five names, and I don't know the names. I know

954
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:06.640
the name of war. I know two people who walk dogs.

955
01:30:07.199 --> 01:30:12.960
Two people and some people have like they saw me

956
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:15.680
for a year and a half and then they talk

957
01:30:15.760 --> 01:30:17.079
to me and then they say, oh, by the way,

958
01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:19.520
I watch your name. So I tell them they can't

959
01:30:19.560 --> 01:30:21.880
say they call me by my name. I don't. I

960
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:25.279
can't remember what they told me their name was, because

961
01:30:25.279 --> 01:30:27.279
I don't know. As soon as someone says, oh my

962
01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:32.760
name is, my ear is just tightly shut. I don't

963
01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:35.960
know why. I wish they wouldn't, but they do. They

964
01:30:36.079 --> 01:30:40.520
just it's almost like an invisible finger goes into each

965
01:30:40.600 --> 01:30:53.039
ear and I don't It doesn't register. And I'm not

966
01:30:53.079 --> 01:30:56.359
talking about people that I'm not interested in or people

967
01:30:56.399 --> 01:30:59.000
I don't like, because generally I don't talk to people

968
01:30:59.039 --> 01:31:04.039
I don't like. It's people are like I mean, if

969
01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:08.399
I meet someone that I really like, they told me

970
01:31:08.399 --> 01:31:12.880
their name, it's gone. I don't remember it. This is gone,

971
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:17.279
it goes. Is this something about remembering people's names? It

972
01:31:17.399 --> 01:31:27.560
just disappears when I first meet them. I mean, it happened.

973
01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:31.760
It was really embarrassing. This is years ago, long long

974
01:31:31.800 --> 01:31:35.920
time ago, and I had this date with a lady

975
01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:38.920
that worked in the supermarket. She was on a cash

976
01:31:39.399 --> 01:31:43.880
on what cash counter, let's it. She worked on the counter,

977
01:31:45.199 --> 01:31:52.560
and we weren't on a date, and we went straight

978
01:31:52.600 --> 01:31:56.560
from her work. So I picked her up. Why didn't

979
01:31:56.560 --> 01:32:01.560
pick her up? I mean I met her. I didn't

980
01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:04.039
have a car, and I picked her up. But then

981
01:32:04.079 --> 01:32:05.560
I put her down again and she said I can

982
01:32:05.640 --> 01:32:09.079
put me down. I said, okay, sorry, and we got

983
01:32:09.079 --> 01:32:11.560
a bus or something, so I know how to show

984
01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:16.720
a lady a good time, and we went out and

985
01:32:16.760 --> 01:32:20.640
everything like that, and we've been chatting for ages and

986
01:32:20.680 --> 01:32:27.239
then eventually kind of I built up the courage to do,

987
01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:30.319
you know, to ask her out and stuff. And I

988
01:32:30.319 --> 01:32:34.720
didn't want to put her on a spot, so I

989
01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:38.159
made sure I didn't want to embarrass her basically, So

990
01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:41.840
I made sure that the song I sung I was

991
01:32:42.119 --> 01:32:47.520
pretty short, you know, had my guitar, and I thought, well,

992
01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:50.760
it's going to embarrass her if it's over ten minutes long.

993
01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:54.960
So I did that and it seemed to work quite well.

994
01:32:55.680 --> 01:32:58.000
And I remember her saying to me, I will go

995
01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:01.560
out of you if you just stop this now and leave.

996
01:33:01.840 --> 01:33:06.720
I said, okay, So yeah, it worked She seemed surprised

997
01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:13.399
when it turned up though anyway, and it went quite well.

998
01:33:13.880 --> 01:33:15.800
In fact, you could say it went as well as

999
01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:22.239
it could possibly have gone. And the next morning we

1000
01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:32.760
were waking up and I could not what's weird, right is?

1001
01:33:34.119 --> 01:33:42.520
We were both kind of in bed, and she said, well,

1002
01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.479
I got to go to work. I said okay. She said,

1003
01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:57.359
shall we swap numbers? And I said, cool, brilliant, And

1004
01:33:58.079 --> 01:34:05.439
so she took my number. This is yeah, she said

1005
01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:07.960
this when mobile phones were around, so it was obviously

1006
01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:12.640
it's still a while ago, but and so I she

1007
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:16.119
I gave her my number. But this is before we

1008
01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:18.479
used to phone each other, you know, like you give

1009
01:34:18.520 --> 01:34:21.520
someone your number and then they call you. I was

1010
01:34:21.560 --> 01:34:23.760
literally putting a number in. We hadn't figured out that

1011
01:34:23.800 --> 01:34:27.239
you could call someone. But maybe that's because back then

1012
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:30.000
it costs too much money to phone people. But I

1013
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:33.880
don't know. I'm not sure. So I gave him my number,

1014
01:34:35.880 --> 01:34:37.640
and I said, do you remember my name? She said,

1015
01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:42.279
of course I do, Elvis. But anyway, she did she

1016
01:34:42.399 --> 01:34:45.000
remember my name. I felt good, and she said remember

1017
01:34:45.000 --> 01:34:48.720
my name? I said, yeah, of course I do. And

1018
01:34:48.760 --> 01:34:51.119
I couldn't remember what her name was. I had no idea,

1019
01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:55.079
just it just went out of my head. I don't

1020
01:34:55.119 --> 01:34:57.319
think it ever went into my head, but it definitely

1021
01:34:57.359 --> 01:35:02.000
wasn't in my head at that point, and so we

1022
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:10.560
was just luckily I managed to change the subject. I

1023
01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:14.479
think I opened the window and farted, so that. Yeah,

1024
01:35:14.520 --> 01:35:20.560
that definitely distracted her. So we're getting ready she has

1025
01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:24.640
to go out, and I'm thinking. She said, well, do

1026
01:35:24.640 --> 01:35:29.239
you want to take my number? So I did. So

1027
01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:31.760
She's got her back to the door, to her door.

1028
01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:36.399
I'm looking at her and she says, Okay, it's my number.

1029
01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:39.479
I said thanks. She said, aren't you going to put

1030
01:35:39.479 --> 01:35:42.359
your name? Put my name into it? I said yeah,

1031
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:48.960
She said, you've forgot my name, haven't you. Luckily, on

1032
01:35:49.079 --> 01:35:56.159
the back of her door was her uniform, her supermarket

1033
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:59.520
uniform where she worked, and it was there was a

1034
01:35:59.560 --> 01:36:04.479
tag there on there, like a badge on it, and

1035
01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:09.640
I thought, thank goodness for that. It really saved me. Honestly,

1036
01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:13.560
I'm not proud of myself, but I said, of course,

1037
01:36:13.600 --> 01:36:15.079
I know what your name is. She said, what is

1038
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:19.119
it then? And she really thought right, she had me,

1039
01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:24.880
and I said, listen, of course. I look. We just

1040
01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:31.279
spent a really wonderful date together last night. And I've

1041
01:36:31.399 --> 01:36:33.279
liked you for a long time. I've been coming into

1042
01:36:33.319 --> 01:36:36.800
the shop, uh, you know, and we've been getting on

1043
01:36:36.880 --> 01:36:39.840
and you know, I hope I'll get to see you again.

1044
01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:44.279
And you know, we've clicked and it's been a nice time,

1045
01:36:44.319 --> 01:36:47.279
hasn't it. She said, yeah. I said, of course I

1046
01:36:47.359 --> 01:36:51.159
know what your name is. I wouldn't. I don't get

1047
01:36:51.279 --> 01:36:54.600
I don't do these kinds of things unless I know

1048
01:36:54.720 --> 01:36:57.560
someone's name. I mean, come on, what kind of person

1049
01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.680
do you think I am? And she said, well, what's

1050
01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:02.520
my name? Then she wasn't giving up on it. So

1051
01:37:02.600 --> 01:37:06.680
I looked at the tag and I said, of course

1052
01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:13.520
it's Sainsbury's. I know your name is Sainsbury's. I continue

1053
01:37:13.560 --> 01:37:16.479
to put it into my phone and she's she laughs,

1054
01:37:18.319 --> 01:37:21.159
and then she looks at my phone and she says

1055
01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:35.159
that I'm actually putting in Sainsbury's into the phone. And yeah,

1056
01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.079
never saw her again. For some reason, she didn't call me.

1057
01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:49.720
I don't know why, dad. So yeah, that's the end

1058
01:37:49.760 --> 01:37:57.920
of this trivia Tuesday, which really had the only real

1059
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:00.960
trivia was just my life, wasn't it. Let's see if

1060
01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:09.760
there's any other vikings Vikings the world's first helmet hair problem.

1061
01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:16.319
They loved practical jokes. Apparently Saga account mentions swapping people's

1062
01:38:16.319 --> 01:38:23.399
weapons for blunt ones and there's a prank. Wow. Can

1063
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:27.560
you imagine that you're in battle and you have to

1064
01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:33.800
actually your sword out and it's just blunt? Mind you,

1065
01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:38.800
they're heavy swords. I don't know. I mean, i've never never,

1066
01:38:38.920 --> 01:38:41.399
really the only I used to have a sword. I

1067
01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:44.199
used to have a Samurai sword. I mean they had

1068
01:38:44.239 --> 01:38:46.279
a bit of weight on it, but that was blunt.

1069
01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:54.800
That's it. Really. I could have sharpened it, but I didn't,

1070
01:38:55.359 --> 01:39:02.560
luckily for me. And that's it. So I'm going to

1071
01:39:02.680 --> 01:39:09.760
go now. Thank you for listening. Remember to be kind

1072

1073
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:19.239

01:39:19.239 --> 01:39:31.720
