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
DILETD diletdd 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 eyelid's getting heavy, falling,

6
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:49.920
sleep deeply sleep. I hope you're 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

12
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:20.920

00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.680
and thousands of my recordings and my old stuff also

14
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:33.439
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 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 trivious, 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 --> 00:02:12.800
a little bit more. I don't know, it's silly, maybe

20
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.960
a little bit more just 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 --> 00:02:44.719
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 --> 00:03:19.080
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 --> 00:03:50.439
wear my coat because I wore it earlier and it

39
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.479
didn't rain. Not that that's the reason it didn't rain.

40
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.240
I 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 --> 00:04:07.879
was going to say, I wear my coat all the

43
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.840
time 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 --> 00:04:23.519
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
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.000
So it threw me off a little bit because I

51
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.360
was thinking, hmm, earlier on a few hours ago, I

52
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.199
was internally having a little bit of a moon Call

53
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.519
this a summer, do you This is supposed to be June.

54
00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:03.279
This isn't summer. It's cloudy and potentially rainy. I have

55
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:07.000
to wear a coat, but I didn't. I didn't have

56
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.439
to wear a coat. I didn't have to wear a

57
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.879
jumper or a cardigan. And then I went out later

58
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.199
about six is I don't know whatever time it was,

59
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.639
warn my cardigan at this point because I thought, well,

60
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:28.680
it's not going to be warm now, not now. If anything,

61
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.519
it was warmer than it was earlier, everyone's walking around

62
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.800
in shorts and T shirts. Not everyone. Well, I don't

63
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.759
know if everyone. I'm not looking at the I'm just just

64
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.839
saying that our people around I was the only one

65
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:49.160
with a jumper on, and we're not the only one

66
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.680
in the world, but just saying like, I didn't see

67
00:05:52.720 --> 00:06:04.079
many people dressed as thoroughly prepared or change in the weather.

68
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.439
You know, everyone was just like, oh, it's sunny, let's

69
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:16.600
all wear T shirts. And I was again, I was like, oh,

70
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.040
this is a bit hot. And someone did ask me,

71
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.040
a dog walker said, how come you've got a jumper on.

72
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.240
I says, not jumper, it's a cardigan. See the zip difference.

73
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.439
She said, that's not really relevant. Why you got there?

74
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.879
Why are you wearing that? I said, because the weather

75
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.839
is not synchronized with my body. And she says, well,

76
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.000
what do you mean the weather? She didn't sound like

77
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.399
that said uh, which I guess. She meant, what does

78
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:57.839
it mean? What do you mean? I said, well, the

79
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.160
weather says T shirt weather. Okay, the weather says wear

80
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.199
a T shirt, but my body says, don't wear a

81
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.600
T shirt. Wear some cover up. So we laughed. So

82
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:20.560
the first one is QCAT bar code scanner. QCAT bar

83
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:28.920
code scanner designed to connect print ads to websites in

84
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:33.000
two thousand, but fizzled within a year due to lack

85
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:40.519
of interest. Designed to connect print ads to websites. I

86
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.199
don't even understand really what that concept is. Maybe that's

87
00:07:44.240 --> 00:08:05.360
the problem. Okay. Number two, Betamax video format. I'm offended

88
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:11.759
by that because this is wrong. Beat Max video format

89
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.600
offered better picture quality than the VHS in the nineteen

90
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:19.480
seventies but lost the format war. Okay, yeah, they did

91
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.759
lose the format war, but it was in the eighties.

92
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.079
It wasn't in the seventies. It was in the eighties.

93
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:31.160
Get it right, baby, get it right. I remember it

94
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.960
might have been the late seventies. No, it was the

95
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:38.480
early eighties. I'm sure it was. We had all three.

96
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:47.200
So the best one, if I remember, Horrce is back.

97
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.120
I am planning to try and take a picture of

98
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:57.320
Horace the pigeon and post it on my Facebook page.

99
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.919
Can you hear him? If it's visited me about five

100
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.919
times today? The window is open, so I'm wondering if

101
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.320
he wants to come in and say hi. I'm not

102
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.120
sure if that's a good idea. I don't know if

103
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:22.080
Finny would, I'm not sure. I don't know. I think

104
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.240
he would be happy, but probably in the wrong kind

105
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:36.240
of way. Oh, a new toy. No. So my memory

106
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:41.879
of video recorders or video players rather was the early eighties,

107
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:47.679
but maybe they were around in the late seventies. It

108
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.960
was the I think it was just Sony. I think

109
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.440
it was Sony, but it was two thousand series and

110
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:01.360
you could record on both sides, and it was like

111
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.080
four hours each side something like that. It was were long.

112
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.600
And then Betamax took over. They became the front runner.

113
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.960
And then there was a period when Beta Max and

114
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:25.440
VHS pretty much went side by side, and the videotapes,

115
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.879
as far as I remember, was the same for both.

116
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:41.279
But again I might be wrong there. Maybe the Beat

117
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:49.559
Max tapes were different. Definitely the two thousand series was

118
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.000
it Sony. They were definitely a larger tape. It was

119
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.720
a different kind of tape size. I thought that bet

120
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.919
Max was the same as VHS, but thinking about it,

121
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.120
I think Beat Max might have been a bit chunkier.

122
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.039
But we had all three, not at the same time.

123
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.240
I think there was a period when we had both

124
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:17.639
VHS and Beta Max because we had videos. We might

125
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.879
have also kept the other one as well, because we

126
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:25.840
had videos of stuff that we'd say we that my

127
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:31.879
dad had taped off the TV and he had a

128
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.120
draw Wow, I remember the draw I think he's still

129
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.320
got that set of drawers. And in the bottom it

130
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:49.000
was full of videotapes and every James Bond movie was

131
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.600
on there. None of them were purchased, None of them

132
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:58.000
were like in them days in the like I don't

133
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:04.039
want to say late seventies, but early eighties, to buy

134
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:12.519
a videotape was expensive, like really expensive to actually buy one.

135
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:17.320
They didn't sell them in the shops, you know, you

136
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.399
couldn't as far as I remember. They weren't available to

137
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.919
buy in the shops. It was really renting or you

138
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:33.039
taped off the telly. And so he had my dad

139
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:43.080
had every single James Bond movie all marked off, you know,

140
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:49.519
you know, old like that little white stripper on the

141
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.279
front of it or whatever. That he'd write down what

142
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.679
the film was, and you never put James Bond because

143
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:56.240
we knew that that was the only thing that he

144
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.919
really liked. We did have Enter the Dragon as well,

145
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.000
the Bruce Lee film, and that was more for me.

146
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:13.200
And the weird thing about it is every single Christmas

147
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:19.360
and every single Easter and also other weekends throughout the year,

148
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:28.360
there would be old James Bond movies on, especially at Christmas,

149
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.919
but there'd also be other stuff on, things that we're

150
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.559
not seen before, things that we perhaps all wanted to watch,

151
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.360
but nope, we had to watch the James Bond movie.

152
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.960
So my dad would be there in his recliner watching.

153
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.440
We didn't even watch it. He fell asleep within about

154
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.200
ten minutes, but guaranteed if you turned it off he

155
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.679
turned it over to another channel, he'd wake up straight away.

156
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:07.080
It's like he was asleep, but he wasn't asleep. I

157
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.279
tried to say, like try to reason with him, like,

158
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:15.120
come on, why are we watching Diamonds off forever? When

159
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:20.480
you have the videotape in the draw next to you,

160
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.039
you can watch it anytime. I want to watch it

161
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:33.320
now now never. Kind of just didn't understand, couldn't really

162
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.279
get my head around it. But he loves James Bond movies.

163
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.039
I did actually buy him a DVD collection of all

164
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:45.519
the Chains Bond movies, long to put it out twenty

165
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.840
years ago. Pull the ones up to that point, anyway,

166
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:56.000
and I remember going around. I think I stayed in

167
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.799
the bedroom whatever a few years later, and I hadn't

168
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:03.360
even unpacked it, still in plastic. I hadn't touched it,

169
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.200
never going to look at it, because it's see, he's

170
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.519
just gonna wait till you're on TV, and that's it.

171
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.799
Wait till her on TV and watch them. You're not

172
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:18.960
gonna not gonna watch them on DVD. Well that's his way.

173
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.559
But then sometimes I'm a little bit like that. You know,

174
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:28.240
if I see something that I could just watch, I

175
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.600
could stream it, but it's just happens to be on Telly.

176
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:37.039
Sometimes I watch it on Telly. Not really any logic

177
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.159
to it, really, I guess, other than maybe it's like

178
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.879
a little surprised, like, oh, look that thing's on, I'll

179
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:57.799
watch it. Oh yeah, that VHS did take over from

180
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.039
Beta Max. I I think we just used to call

181
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.919
it beta beta max was the correct term, but just

182
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:19.960
beta beta Beta. I can almost remember the like the

183
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.159
logo as well. I'd say what we used to do,

184
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:31.919
I'd say we wasn't me, but there used to be

185
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.519
programs on quite late at night, or maybe it was

186
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:43.519
on the other side when it's kind of ironic really,

187
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:47.799
because my dad would want to watch James Bond, so

188
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.720
we would record the program that we wanted to watch,

189
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.720
so that would also be on a tape. So both

190
00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:58.879
the programs, the program that we wanted to watch would

191
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.679
be now on videotape, and the movie that he was

192
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:07.640
watching was already on videotape. It's a very strange scenario.

193
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.160
There was a couple of TV shows that were really long.

194
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:22.720
One was The Thornbirds, one was North and South, one

195
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:31.680
was Shogun. Yeah, Thornbirds and Shogun was Richard Chamberlain. North

196
00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:37.559
and South was Patrick Swayze, and these were early eighties

197
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:44.640
and they were quite big epic series that went on

198
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:50.880
for hours and hours and hours. Really each episode was

199
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.000
very long. It was like a full length movie. Each

200
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:58.799
longer in fact, I think like six seven hours long.

201
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:07.079
So maybe exaggerating, possibly, there was a really strange show

202
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.839
because I useduld like these shows because it wasn't really

203
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.279
in all honesty, I don't think it's really aimed at me.

204
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.240
I don't mean me personally. Yeah, I think there was

205
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.559
a bunch of rights thinking, right, well, little Jason is ten,

206
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:28.240
what can we produce for him? How about a soldier

207
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:34.279
that gets stranded on an island in Japan and he

208
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.720
learns to be a samurai. How about that?

209
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.039
Yeah?

210
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.240
Or what about a love affair between two married people?

211
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.680
Or what about what about the Civil War? That would

212
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.480
be a ten year old Wou'd love to watch that?

213
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.680
That's about the Civil War, the First Civil War? Like, No,

214
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.960
but it probably wasn't aimed at me. But I did

215
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.799
like watching it. I think it was because I was

216
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.400
with my step mom and I kind of liked what

217
00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:16.519
she liked, and I kind of really was more influenced

218
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:21.839
by her, probably in reality, probably more influenced by her

219
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.640
than anyone else in my childhood. During my childhood period,

220
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:33.000
she had more influence over me, and in a positive way.

221
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.119
I kind of wanted to I spent time with her.

222
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.640
I learned how to talk, not how to talk, but

223
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:45.839
how to have conversations because of her, because we would

224
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.559
talk and she'd tell me stuff, and you know, I learned.

225
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:57.599
I suppose I learned how to communicate with her. Yeah,

226
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.799
I don't know. I just wanted to be just like

227
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:07.079
being with her, like being Yeah, I just liked being

228
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.519
with her, as simple as that. Really, nothing weird about

229
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:14.799
that is a I just liked I didn't want to

230
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:20.640
be her. I don't want to be like her. No,

231
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.200
I just I suppose I did want to be like her.

232
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.000
I wanted to be because she was friendly, she was popular.

233
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.119
People used to like to stop and chat to her,

234
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:31.440
and I thought I didn't have anything to say to them,

235
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.559
and I'd just be standing around board. But I would

236
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.880
sort of think, how do you do that? How do

237
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:54.519
you keep a conversation going? Yeah? I learned as I

238
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.720
got older, But you know, there were times when I

239
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.599
be talking to someone even in my twenties, and I

240
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:05.359
just what thirties as well, and forties and fifties probably,

241
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.119
But there's been times it happens less, but then I

242
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:17.000
have less opportunity for it to happen. But there's been

243
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.079
times when I've been talking to someone, there's one on

244
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:25.559
one conversation and I just run out of words, got

245
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:35.319
nothing else. And I think sometimes that happens when people

246
00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:42.799
ask me questions about myself like I do I I'd

247
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.640
say probably. You know, obviously I like talking about myself

248
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:51.440
because I do it every day, But I don't have

249
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:59.559
that interest in other people that is required in order

250
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:05.680
for for the conversation to work, because conversation is reciprocal,

251
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.000
isn't it. It's not just one sided. Wise it would

252
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:11.119
be a monologue, which is kind of what I do.

253
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:16.480
I suppose and I can talk to people, but I

254
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:25.680
don't generally I might ask questions, but I'm generally not

255
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:32.319
interested because someone say always you don't. But there's a

256
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.200
benefit to that. I don't know what it means, but

257
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.480
there is a benefit of not being particularly interested. Is

258
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:43.079
I'm also not particularly judging them either. I just take

259
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.039
people as they come, Just take it just like, Okay,

260
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:51.119
that's how you are, and don't get too involved in

261
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:58.359
your life, and it's fine. I quite like knowing people,

262
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:06.160
maybe in that capacity where it's just in Some would

263
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:09.119
maybe argue, say, well, it's very flimsy, or it's very

264
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.440
out what a correct word would be, not very deep,

265
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:19.000
very transparent, or maybe there is a word that I

266
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:27.559
can't think of right now. However, I would say that

267
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.559
even people are going to walk around the park with

268
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.400
or see in the park, I have some pretty deep

269
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:39.440
conversations sometimes talk about some very serious subjects. People tell

270
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.519
me about their lives and tell me about what's going

271
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:49.200
on with them, maybe health stuff. So yeah, I'm I

272
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:54.720
don't delve. But sometimes people just open up and I

273
00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:57.960
don't judge them either way. If they want to just

274
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.519
mention how cold is or if they want to talk

275
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:06.759
about someone that had lost you know, either way, it's

276
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:12.799
fine with me. I'm not really sure where I'm going

277
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.720
with that. That's what's they've got to do with famous inventions? Famous?

278
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.440
What's the word shallow? What I was looking for? Am

279
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:28.759
I just a shallow person? Possibly? Ed cell car? Now

280
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:30.880
some of you might know what this is. I don't.

281
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:36.160
I know what car is, but ed cell car. So

282
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:43.640
it's a heavily marketed car in nineteen fifty seven, but

283
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:49.720
widely panned and considered a major flop. No, I do

284
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.799
remember that. I remember hearing about it. It was like

285
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:58.039
a really bad car. Apparently no one liked it, but

286
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.359
they they went ahead with it anyway, but no one

287
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:08.000
liked it. I'm indifferent because I wasn't born. Number four

288
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:16.799
McDonald's Arch Deluxe launched in the nineteen nineties as a

289
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.400
grown up burger. And that's a bit rude, isn't it

290
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:26.240
a grown up burger? It failed to resonate with the consumers,

291
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.880
of course it is. If you tell, if you're telling

292
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:31.039
that their kids, telling all the adults are eating burgers

293
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.720
like was up till now, you're just kids and if

294
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:35.079
you don't, if you want to be a grown up,

295
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:41.279
you should eat this deluxe arch thing. People don't like

296
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.240
being told off. I just want to come just to

297
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:50.720
get some fat in anybody. I'm not not just yeah

298
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:59.920
see yeah, McDonald's. That's it. Double Google Glass Consumer Version.

299
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.759
I actually saw an advert when I saw a video

300
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.839
on YouTube about that. It's a different thing. Google Glass

301
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:15.759
Consumer Version initially hyped as wearable tech, but abandoned due

302
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:21.680
to privacy and usability concerns. Okay, I don't know much

303
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.240
about that. I know that Google will have got a

304
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:30.599
whole load of news stuff coming out, including Google Glass TV,

305
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.960
and they've got this thing where there's a camera above

306
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:40.240
it and to the side, and it's almost like a

307
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:46.359
three D screen and you can communicate with someone, I

308
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:50.160
guess over a lot online. But it's a big screen

309
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:53.119
and you can see them and it looks very real.

310
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:55.200
It looks like the hands coming out of the TV.

311
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:58.839
And I just thought, and they did this demonstration that

312
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.839
the man from Google had this. I don't think he

313
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.279
was like a YouTuber come in and sit down and said, well,

314
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.440
just look at that screen. I'm going to go into

315
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:14.079
the other room and we can talk. And that's what

316
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:19.119
they did. And I was just thinking, maybe it wasn't

317
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:23.160
another screen, Maybe he wasn't in another room. Maybe there

318
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.960
was a hole in the wall behind the TV and

319
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:28.799
they just turned the screen on it. He was just

320
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:34.000
sitting there. That's why it looked so realistic. And I thought,

321
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.680
how funny because it was at one point he was

322
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.400
eating an apple. I thought how funny it would be

323
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.920
if the apple fell out of his hand, that fell

324
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.400
onto the table and gave the whole thing away, or

325
00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:50.359
the person that was there on the other side might think, wow,

326
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:52.960
this is so realistic the apple fell on the table.

327
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.759
BlimE me so. But that wasn't that. It was actually

328
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:04.400
a real thing. But it's like, wow. The problem with

329
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:09.960
that is maybe I could do that. I don't.

330
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:10.359
Like.

331
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:16.960
I don't do video calling. I don't do it. I don't,

332
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:23.000
I don't, I don't. And what I've noticed is I

333
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:28.119
was on oh, what's it called? Not Crap's what's it called?

334
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.920
The what's crap? I call it WhatsApp. I was on

335
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.240
WhatsApp and I come out of it. I don't like it,

336
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:44.240
and I started having What it gives people opportunity is

337
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:49.039
to make phone calls even if they don't have let's

338
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:51.480
say they've got to pay as you go phone and

339
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:54.880
they've got no credit, but they could still make phone

340
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:57.880
calls off of Wi Fi. So if they tap into

341
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:00.400
a friend's Wi Fi, they can make phone calls, which

342
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.720
is good, unless, of course, that person's phoning me up

343
00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:09.319
for money, so yeah, not so good. So I had

344
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:14.480
a few people be calling me up sometimes trying to

345
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:20.000
do like a live stream, like a video thing, Like

346
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:24.519
I don't do video thing. Don't do it. My Dad's

347
00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:28.039
tried to do it in the past, I know, but

348
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:34.880
it's Christmas. Like, I don't care. I can't. It's like, look, Dad,

349
00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.799
if you did the video, then you realize everyone in

350
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.759
the room would realize that I was on the toilet.

351
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.960
He said, well, get off the toilet. Maybe I said no,

352
00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.759
then you all see that I'm not wearing anyway. It

353
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:49.759
doesn't matter, just I don't could just do it as

354
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:54.559
a voice. That's what phones are for. That's when I

355
00:29:54.599 --> 00:29:59.759
realized that maybe I wasn't really up to date with technology.

356
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:04.880
But yeah, I'm not into the video thing. Like video calling.

357
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:08.160
But maybe if it was a big screen and it

358
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:18.720
looked realistic, and maybe it would be more potentially usable.

359
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:25.039
But still I don't want to have to get dressed

360
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.400
just to make a phone call. Not that I'm sitting

361
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.799
around naked all day long, but it's not just that.

362
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.960
It's like, you know, it's not just getting dressed, but

363
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:42.279
it's getting dressed accordingly. I wouldn't go knock on my

364
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:49.079
dad's front door dressed like this. I would put some

365
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:56.359
clean clothes on and make myself look mildly presentable. But

366
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:01.559
someone just phones me out of the blue. Then I

367
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:05.079
might have ice cream all over my face, or chocolate

368
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:09.079
all down my top, soup on my feet. You know,

369
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.400
it's it could be anything, so I don't yeah, not

370
00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:23.599
really for me, however, maybe it will be one day.

371
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:32.200
Sony Beta Max, it's on Time's Worst list. That's just rude.

372
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.400
Betamax was not bad at all. Why is it on

373
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:39.559
the Times Worst list? If it was better quality than vhs,

374
00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:44.960
then how can it be a bad videotape? That's the question.

375
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:55.240
A Nintendo virtual boy, I always remember, do you know

376
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:59.160
that you should have a fine the video shop if

377
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.119
you didn't rewind the video, there'd be a fine, and

378
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:04.200
the amount of times I'd get to the video shop

379
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.079
to take the video back. When I was a kid,

380
00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:10.920
I realized that I didn't like rewound them, So I'd

381
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:16.319
be walking down the beach towards the video shop trying

382
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:20.839
to do it by hand, not rewind it take ages.

383
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:28.480
It's not like audio tapes. Who could just put a

384
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.559
pen through and rewind it that way? Sometimes, I mean

385
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.680
they didn't always work, depends so Thick the Pen was

386
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:46.759
a Nintendo Virtual Boy nineteen ninety five, intended as a

387
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:56.119
three D gaming console. It was a commercial failure. Okay,

388
00:32:56.160 --> 00:33:00.319
I know so little about video games. The thing is,

389
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:08.519
I find it hard to get enthusiastic about something that's

390
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:10.799
not very good at And I was never really very

391
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:15.559
good at video games. Just didn't really Yeah it wasn't

392
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.680
I was awful. Yeah. Maybe I did like video games.

393
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.759
I just didn't like paying for them. And what I

394
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.119
mean by that is it's not about the cost of money.

395
00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:33.839
Is maybe it just took me a lot longer to

396
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.799
get good at it. So i'd go down the carousel

397
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.759
or down the arcade where there'd be video games. Tron

398
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:47.079
was my favorite. I just like the music, dude, do

399
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:52.839
do do do? Do do do that? I did like

400
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.119
the music, but obviously not enough to remember what it was,

401
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:58.880
but it was. Yeah, I used to like to play it,

402
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.960
but it was like twenty pence of time and I

403
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:09.960
wouldn't get very far and then it'd be it. And

404
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.280
I suppose if i'd have been playing it at home,

405
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.280
I could have done it, played a hundreds thands of

406
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:21.320
times and got good at it. But I just didn't. Yeah,

407
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:25.480
I didn't really have that that urge. And I did

408
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:29.639
have a couple of video games. Actually, actually I was

409
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:37.039
a bit a little bit defensive, wasn't it. I did.

410
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.800
Actually I had actually a couple of video games. Actually

411
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.400
what did I have? I had sound like a pac

412
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:49.400
Man but it was Yeah, I had like a pac

413
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.719
Man game, a handheld one. I had another one that

414
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:59.800
was like some kind of tricking in what was it

415
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:04.239
called what was not Star Wars? What was the game

416
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.400
Space Invaders? It was or Asteroids. I think it was

417
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:12.119
more like Asteroids. It was a similar game like that

418
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:16.920
that had. It was like a handheld console, but just

419
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.760
that game and the batteries went in the back, but

420
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.519
they generally go in the back then they go in

421
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:25.760
I mean I could go in front, but that he

422
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.280
went in the back. It's not really relevant to the story.

423
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.039
I don't know why why am I talking about batteries,

424
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:36.480
but I like them games. I remember when I got

425
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:41.480
them because things that we used to the one thing,

426
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.199
not the only thing, but the one thing that was

427
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.800
really good about my childhood from the ages of seven

428
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:58.519
to I don't know fourteen. Things were between yeah, fourteen

429
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.679
and fifteen or whatever, but things were, Yeah, things kind

430
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:06.559
of changed a lot. After fourteen, things kind of didn't

431
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:11.280
really weren't the same anymore. But between seven and fourteen,

432
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:26.760
Christmases were brilliant. Birthdays were brilliant, like genuinely, genuinely genuinely.

433
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:33.800
I can't imagine. Haven't had better Christmases in any other scenario.

434
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:40.000
I can't even It's like it was great, It was perfect.

435
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.280
It was My dad really is Father Christmas or Santa

436
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:50.039
Claus if you call him Santa Claus. He great Christmases.

437
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.599
You've got to give credit words to do sometimes and

438
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.039
he not just him, Him and my stepmum they put

439
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:04.559
on the best Christmas. And we did get spoilt with presents.

440
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:10.880
It's so many presents. It was great, brilliant. That's the

441
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.119
one thing I can never I can't. I can moan

442
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:16.119
about lots of things, but I can never moan about that.

443
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:24.320
Absolutely amazing, really, and it wasn't just that everything food,

444
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:30.199
everything like it was just yeah, it's like a banquet. Really,

445
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:36.719
it was great times. And even us brothers kind of

446
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:43.119
had a truce during the Christmas period, you know, which

447
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:48.280
was quite nice. Didn't last long, but it was you know,

448
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:54.400
it's nice while it lasted. It didn't always last the

449
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.840
whole day, maybe tall lunch, just after lunchtime, but it

450
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.320
was still nice, a bit of peace. You know, everyone's

451
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:07.280
like pretending to like each other, and you know, my

452
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:09.960
brother's showing me their presence and the me me pretending

453
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.159
to be interested, just wanting to go upstairs and play

454
00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.480
with my own presence, and me showing them my presence

455
00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:19.960
and then pretending to be interested. You know, it's just

456
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.960
it's just it's just a game. Wasn't it really a

457
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:28.760
game of pretend? I love the presence. That's my favorite thing,

458
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:35.800
not giving presents, receiving I loved getting presents. I'm not

459
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:39.760
even going to pretend that, Like I got so much pleasure, pleasure,

460
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.400
so much pleasure by from buying other people's stuff. Not really.

461
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:51.119
Maybe my stepmom, because I used to buy a presence

462
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.639
all year round, like little bits and bobs, little ornaments

463
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:57.559
and things like that. So yeah, I did like getting

464
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.920
her stuff, and I would like to see her face

465
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:08.119
when she opened my Christmas present. But generally, you know,

466
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:12.679
I was very much focused on my own stuff. Oh yes,

467
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:19.360
chocolates and sweets and books and toys. Ye, it was good.

468
00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:24.400
I liked it. I kind of miss it because that's

469
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:28.519
the one benefit. Well, I don't know if it's a benefit,

470
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:36.480
because I could buy myself presents, but no one buys

471
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:39.440
me presents anymore. I sometimes I get a little hamper

472
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:42.960
from my dad. It still gives me money at Christmas.

473
00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:48.000
I mean, I'm nearly seventy years old and he still

474
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:52.920
gives me money at Christmas. Is silly. It's not silly

475
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.679
in a horrible way, just like I think I'll never

476
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:00.760
give it back. So obviously I'm not complaining, But it's

477
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:07.639
just I'm not just an adult. I'm I'm you know,

478
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:18.679
eleven or twelve years away from retirement? Is really or

479
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:21.639
twelve years thirteen years? I don't know. I'm not sure

480
00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:25.679
if it's sixty six or sixty seven, it's not long

481
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:31.239
twelve years. If it's sixty seven, just over twelve years. Wow,

482
00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:36.119
it's weird. But I do give him present. He gets

483
00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:38.679
presents every year as well, but he gets more presents

484
00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.000
because he gets five day presents. There's no son's Day's presence.

485
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:57.679
Is there no children of Day's presents? Yeah? And yeah

486
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:02.480
birthdays as well. Was really great, but it was. It

487
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:05.159
was brilliant and I loved it. But at the same time,

488
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:10.599
it was awkward because what we did is we went

489
00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:19.280
into whoever's birthday it was. We all went downstairs, the

490
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:27.599
rest of the family went downstairs and then got together

491
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:33.000
and then came upstairs, back upstairs again to whoever's bedroom

492
00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:37.880
it was, and we come in and start singing Happy Birthday.

493
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:39.159
I don't know why to do it, you know, the

494
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:43.079
Happy Birthday song, And I think it's copyrighted, so I

495
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:45.880
don't think I'm allowed to sing it. I'm going to

496
00:41:45.920 --> 00:42:00.760
make a difference, isn't it big birthday? And yeah, my

497
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.280
dad's After a couple of years, we want to get

498
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.679
together and say, Dad, can you stop dressing as Marilyn?

499
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.599
It's disturbingess, So it didn't, but it didn't stop.

500
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:24.760
We just got this visual for him doing a little

501
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.559
dance standing over a drain.

502
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:33.679
You know, that hot air blowing his dress up. I

503
00:42:33.719 --> 00:42:36.559
don't know why I've got that visual singing Happy Birthday

504
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:44.840
has two different scenes, isn't it. Ah, So it was.

505
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:47.480
It was one of those weird things because I felt

506
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:56.440
I felt very self conscious when I knew that they

507
00:42:56.440 --> 00:43:01.039
were going to come in and I knew that they

508
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:03.639
were going to be seeing Happy Birthday, and I was

509
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:06.559
going to be sitting in my bedroom. And what we

510
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.320
would do would be in a room, would be in

511
00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:11.000
a bed, and we would open the presence in the

512
00:43:11.039 --> 00:43:13.639
bed while everyone might sat on the edge of the

513
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:17.800
bed and all stood around. It was lovely, it really was.

514
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:26.559
It got changed a little bit once I hit my

515
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:36.280
teen years because I didn't always have enough time to

516
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:42.320
prepare myself for visitors, so the bedroom door would be closed.

517
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:47.880
I think one year I wasn't awake and the door opened,

518
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:56.840
and yeah, I kind of had to. It was just

519
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:05.800
a little bit embarrassing, but it's okay, presence, let's let's

520
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:09.280
move on. I yeah, I used to love I just

521
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:13.000
loved it. Just make it. I think I preferred Christmas

522
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:17.360
to birthdays because at Christmas, everybody was opened presents at

523
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:21.360
the same time, which I liked because then I didn't

524
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:26.119
have to pretend to like something I didn't like. And

525
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.280
you know, I liked everything, but I didn't have to

526
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.440
like put on a big show of oh brilliant a

527
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:40.480
pair of socks, thanks Nan, a nice pair of socks,

528
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:45.079
just what I've always wanted, yippie, and it didn't have

529
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:48.360
to do cartwheels or anything like that. Or you know,

530
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:50.519
wait a minute that I'm not going to open any

531
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.760
more presents. I want to go up and make a

532
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:56.079
big thank you card for my Nan for buying.

533
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:03.679
Me the sucks. She didn't buy it.

534
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:05.960
She used to make them. She used to knit. My

535
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:07.119
name used to knit stuff.

536
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:17.519
This is totally true. She made this pole mix all us.

537
00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:25.119
Once we put them on, we couldn't get over our heads.

538
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:34.119
But my Name was coming around for lunch Sunday, Christmas lunch,

539
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.360
my name and Grandad, and so we were told we've

540
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.400
got to put them on because because were Christmas jumpers

541
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:49.239
with all Christmas puddings and stuff on top beyind green

542
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.280
and red and stuff, and so we got to put

543
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.159
it on. So it's not on a my head.

544
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:56.199
And I said, just you're just gonna have to wear

545
00:45:56.239 --> 00:46:01.239
them during during dinner. We did that. It's very uncomfortable.

546
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:03.199
We could not get them off. We had to cut

547
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:03.639
them off.

548
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.360
We couldn't get them over ahead again once so on.

549
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:12.639
Actually I didn't. I didn't cut mine off because I

550
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:14.320
had respect from my name, So I just woked all

551
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:18.960
year round. I eventually grew through it. I don't know

552
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:24.639
that makes sense, but yeah, that it was impossible. I mean,

553
00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:27.639
it's really weird. It's a weird way to end at

554
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:33.480
Christmas lunch by being having vasiline being spread across my

555
00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:39.280
neck to try and sort of get out of this thing.

556
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.079
That's all I heard someone say, can we shrink him?

557
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:49.840
Like you can't shrink me, can you? It's like ah,

558
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.440
but yeah, it was. It was lost it. They was

559
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:57.440
so tight and we were all looking at each other

560
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:03.840
and there was like various variations of blue in our faces.

561
00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:11.559
Was like just trying to eat our dinners. And the

562
00:47:11.599 --> 00:47:13.760
ironic thing is my dad didn't find it funny because

563
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:18.039
he had one as well, So all four of us

564
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:22.840
had like mat it weren't match. There were similar kind

565
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:27.239
of jumpers, but they just weren't. It turned out we

566
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:32.440
just said the wrong ones on so in the I

567
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:36.760
reallydn't realize that inside was the names. So we got

568
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:38.400
on and my dad took his off and said, this

569
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:45.440
is for you, Jason, And so it makes sense that one.

570
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.599
But then you're going to think, well, if that was true,

571
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.159
then all the others would be. You could say, well,

572
00:47:55.639 --> 00:48:00.239
the one that my oldest brother was wearing, that for

573
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:03.039
the other younger brother, But all about the one that

574
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:08.320
he was wearing, who was that for? It's it wouldn't

575
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:11.639
work with it, I guess no, I've kind of found

576
00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:21.320
a fault in my own. Lie damn subprime mortgages, financial

577
00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:24.519
invention that led to global crisis. So I've got no

578
00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:33.440
idea what that is. Hydrogen blimps, Oh yeah, ambitious but unsafe,

579
00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:36.239
filled with the same gas as the Hindenburg.

580
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:39.199
Yeah.

581
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:44.960
I thought they would have learned from that great idea technically,

582
00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:53.519
I mean phenomenal. I think it's a shame they didn't

583
00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:57.079
really look into it a bit more a way to

584
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:03.679
do it safely, because that must have been such a

585
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:09.840
an unusual way to travel quite smooth, I imagine, I

586
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:20.400
mean when it worked, I mean when it was successful. Blimey,

587
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:23.239
I'm not purposely saying blind me by the way. I

588
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:29.639
just and now I become self conscious of it. Plastic

589
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:37.239
grocery bags became environmentally notorious. Tell me about that. Well,

590
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:47.880
I understand, you know, the whole environmental stuff and plastic

591
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:52.960
bags and stuff like that. But you know what, I've

592
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.360
never dumped anything in the ocean, apart from the odd pooh.

593
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.199
And that was when I was a kid. Wait a minute,

594
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.760
I wasn't the ocean. It was a swimming pool. That's

595
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.639
why we weren't allowed. Back to Buttling's. Oh it's weird,

596
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:19.320
isn't it. Memories come back. I think there's a there's

597
00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:21.599
kind of a this is this is terrible, and this

598
00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.960
is I'm just saying this. I was a kid, right,

599
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:29.760
But like, if any kid is going to do a

600
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:33.239
poo in a swimming pool, just I wish someone had

601
00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:37.079
told me this when I was a kid. Of course,

602
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:43.920
don't do it, that's the first thing, because it's grim.

603
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:48.760
But if someone was to do it, the one thing,

604
00:50:48.920 --> 00:50:50.760
one bit of advice that would have been useful for

605
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:56.880
me is don't do it from the diving board. You

606
00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:58.440
don't just sit on the end of the diving board

607
00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.239
and do it because people know they I noticed things

608
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:29.880
like that, you need to be more covert. Yeah, God,

609
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:38.360
nowadays it would beyond TikTok. Wouldn't it historic or niche failures?

610
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:43.719
Microsoft Bob I don't remember that. Anyone remember Microsoft Bob.

611
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:56.800
I just got that visual. Sorry. Microsoft Bob was a

612
00:51:56.840 --> 00:52:01.159
c g u I placement for those with a cartoon

613
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:09.840
house interface, mocked and quickly discontinued. I don't remember that.

614
00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:20.000
Microsoft kin Phones two thy ten social media phones scrapped

615
00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:28.280
two months after launch due to lack of apps. Okay, well,

616
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.599
the iPhone was out by them, wasn't it. The iPhone

617
00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:33.840
didn't have huge amounts of apps. I don't think at

618
00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:41.400
the time. Maybe I'm wrong, but number thirteen Oakley Thump

619
00:52:42.039 --> 00:52:48.400
two thousand and four sunglasses were built in MP three player,

620
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:53.639
pricey and impractical. This sounds like a good idea, though,

621
00:52:53.639 --> 00:53:03.440
doesn't it. Nokia n gauge gaming phone flop noted by

622
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:07.320
Reader's Digest. Okay, I don't know why they're mentioning where

623
00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:13.599
they found it. Microsoft Zoon Why does that sound familiar?

624
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:24.119
A media player that couldn't dent iPods domination? Okay, iPods

625
00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:36.039
were pretty amazing though easy to use. I mean, I honestly, really,

626
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:43.159
I don't know why iPods, just why it lost its popularity.

627
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:47.199
I know he's because of the phone. But you know what,

628
00:53:48.920 --> 00:53:54.400
iPods had a much larger I mean, now, if iPods

629
00:53:54.400 --> 00:54:00.119
were still going, they would have a much larger memory

630
00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:07.920
on them. They'd probably have multiple terrorbytes worth a memory

631
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:14.159
which could possibly store every movie and every single album ever.

632
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:17.360
But then I suppose we've got streaming for that on me,

633
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:23.800
So I suppose streaming don't need dipods for streaming. But

634
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:29.000
I just preferred it to the phone because I like

635
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:33.039
to use the phone separately. So if I'm out, if

636
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:35.639
I want to go out. I'm talking about it in

637
00:54:35.639 --> 00:54:39.360
the past, when I used to go out but i'd

638
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.039
had my iPod, I wouldn't necessarily have my phone on

639
00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:50.000
me because I wouldn't need to the iPod. It wasn't

640
00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:55.440
dependent upon the Internet or data from the phone. Everything

641
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:59.360
was stored on the actual iPod. I had two hundred

642
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:03.159
and fifty gigs bites on it. It was I think

643
00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:05.519
the best one around at the time. It's a long

644
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:08.960
long time ago, two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine,

645
00:55:09.119 --> 00:55:21.639
something like that. I loved it, and yet at the

646
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:26.719
time I didn't have a smartphone, so having a phone

647
00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:32.199
wasn't really an option as far as using But even

648
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.480
if I still think an iPod was better than using

649
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:41.880
a phone for music, I don't know why. I just

650
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:47.519
I just think the sound was better the Roan Dude

651
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.360
that was with headphones, so probably maybe exactly the same

652
00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:54.800
with an iPhone, maybe much better on the iPhone now,

653
00:55:54.800 --> 00:55:59.239
I don't know. Perhaps it was just because the iPod

654
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:03.079
was there for that specific reason for music. You could

655
00:56:03.119 --> 00:56:09.639
have videos as well, but basically for music, because an

656
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.400
iPhone is for lots of different things. So I guess

657
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:17.719
it just yeah, I do quite like something that's there

658
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:26.920
for a specific reason, you know, like hm hmm, like

659
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:33.639
a bed, it's there to sleep in. And I don't

660
00:56:33.639 --> 00:56:35.960
know you're generally you know, but like sleeping in. That's

661
00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:40.719
what That's what my BID's for. I say, in my bed.

662
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:45.079
I'd like to say our bed, but it's Vini's bed.

663
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.440
But he lets me share. He's very kind like that.

664
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:59.199
Horror boards, the Segway style, overhyped and electric versions led

665
00:56:59.320 --> 00:57:08.039
to safety issues. Half aboards okay, I mean back to

666
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:15.239
the future kind of made those I was gonna say

667
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:18.239
popular because it didn't exist, did they? But like it.

668
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:27.599
I think it caught people's imagination, the idea that it'd

669
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:33.880
be like a skateboard but in the air. Ford Pinto

670
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:41.119
flying the Ford Pinto flying car, experimental jet powered Pinto

671
00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:47.599
short flights ended in crashes. Well, there are now flying

672
00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:56.079
cars again, and I've got no idea how that's going

673
00:57:56.159 --> 00:58:07.599
to work because knowing knowing the human race, they'll just

674
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:16.360
end up being traffic jams in the sky. And that

675
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:24.800
won't work, will it unless it can hover? Yeah, how

676
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:33.400
does this stop? You could overtake? But what if you

677
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:39.320
can't overtake unless something else coming? We go higher up? Okay,

678
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:45.599
but how many levels would there be? There might end

679
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.719
up being like one hundred different levels of traffic in

680
00:58:48.760 --> 00:59:02.760
the sky. Ah bell Oh. Apparently in the UK. Uber Taxis,

681
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:10.840
automatic self driving ones are going to be introduced in

682
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:18.320
the UK like now or they're done a They've done

683
00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:20.559
a pilot scheme and they're going to start releasing them.

684
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:25.880
When I first saw that, because I only use Uber eats,

685
00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:28.440
we don't have well I don't think we have Uber

686
00:59:28.519 --> 00:59:33.719
taxis here, so I get uber eats and I thought,

687
00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:37.960
how is it going to deliver upstairs? How's it going

688
00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.960
to bring my food to me, my groceries to me,

689
00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:46.920
my milk or whatever else I've ordered. So I'm gonna

690
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:51.800
have to go outside, which kind of defeats the object

691
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:56.280
of ordering the delivery if I have to go and

692
00:59:56.320 --> 01:00:01.079
collect it. I know, it's not the same as traveling

693
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.159
all the way to the shop, but you know, still,

694
01:00:06.360 --> 01:00:11.320
then I realized it was a taxi. So would I

695
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:16.039
get into a car that didn't didn't have a driver?

696
01:00:18.360 --> 01:00:22.400
The way I see it is the only way the

697
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:30.079
automatic self driving cars can really work is if all

698
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:37.800
vehicles on the road were automatic self driving, Because when

699
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:43.239
one stops, they all stop until that situation sorted out,

700
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:50.079
you know, So it's almost I guess it would work

701
01:00:52.199 --> 01:01:00.400
much better as a I don't know, like as one

702
01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:04.519
kind of brain thing. I know what I'm trying to say,

703
01:01:04.519 --> 01:01:07.440
I'm just not perhaps saying it in a way that

704
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:16.079
makes sense even to me. Bell rocket belt a twenty

705
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:21.480
a twenty one second flight pack used for demos but

706
01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:29.480
deemed impractical, or twenty one's twenty one second I mean

707
01:01:30.599 --> 01:01:33.760
it would be useful in some situations. I mean, I'm

708
01:01:33.800 --> 01:01:38.039
pretty sure if you found yourself at the bottom of

709
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:44.719
a well or some ravine or very you know, a mountain,

710
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:47.800
or not not a high mountain, but something that you

711
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:52.559
can't get up. Twenty one seconds of flying upwards might

712
01:01:52.599 --> 01:02:00.360
actually be useful, or if you're being chased by goat.

713
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:08.960
I'm just thinking, you know, as an example, fly flying

714
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:18.559
tanks ant nov a forty WW two Soviet wind tank.

715
01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:25.239
So this was the plan flying tanks, but unfortunately didn't

716
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:30.239
work because they were too heavy to fly it. It's like, really,

717
01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:41.400
I think of what's the heaviest vehicle, and the tank's

718
01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:43.480
one of the things that I think of one of

719
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:50.519
the heaviest vehicles. I mean, it's got to be so heavy.

720
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:56.960
And this quit here in a matte ammette cursor gyro

721
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:05.800
dripping water gorge. Outdated medical tool that failed. I don't

722
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:07.719
even know what it is. So that's not going to

723
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:13.679
really be useful on off experiments and oddities. So let's

724
01:03:13.719 --> 01:03:20.800
have a look. Egg cuba s shaped mold to cube

725
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:34.079
hard boiled decks didn't catch on right, so basically to

726
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:39.840
make eggs in a shape that's kind of it. I

727
01:03:39.960 --> 01:03:44.760
wonder that sounds familiar, like I might might have had

728
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:48.960
one of them, or tested one of them. I tell

729
01:03:48.960 --> 01:03:51.000
you one of the things it might be in this list.

730
01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:59.440
I did not like it. Fin qui fondu fondu, that's it.

731
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:08.440
Fondu sets where you'd have be heating up almost like

732
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:11.239
being in a back in the science lab at school

733
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:15.119
with buns and not buns and burner, but you'd be

734
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:18.280
heating up oil and then cooking the food yourself.

735
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:19.639
Like.

736
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:24.760
No, I just didn't. I didn't see the point in

737
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:34.519
spending two hours at a table at home. No, no,

738
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:39.719
I'd rather just have a sandwich. Thanks. But I remember

739
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:46.000
people used to have parties and dinner parties, couples getting

740
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:53.480
together and chatting about life whilst holding these little sticks

741
01:04:53.519 --> 01:05:02.719
of meat in this oil, and I just wow, what why? Why?

742
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:17.760
That was my question? Why? An electric pen from Thomas Edison. Okay,

743
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:23.360
all right, so but it lost out to the typewriter.

744
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:30.039
An electric pen, so it was kind of like, not

745
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:32.480
quite sure how it works, so that would be interesting

746
01:05:32.519 --> 01:05:37.920
to see. But a typewriter kind of came along. Motorized

747
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:45.039
surfboard nineteen forty eight, three hundred and forty five dollars

748
01:05:45.119 --> 01:05:52.079
device with poor performance three hundred and forty five dollars

749
01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:58.320
in nineteen forty eight. I'm guessing was a lumps that

750
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:06.760
was a big bag of dosh, and Finny was like

751
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.480
half falling off the chair. There he's just woken up.

752
01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:19.079
Wearable parachute. Wearable parachute suit invented by friends, right shiite

753
01:06:22.239 --> 01:06:30.400
failed catastrophically. Now he seems to be enjoying having half

754
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:35.000
his body laying off the chair. I don't know why

755
01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:39.599
that is. Maybe he's just getting to stretch his neck.

756
01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:45.039
Maybe I think wearable parachute suit. I mean, aren't all

757
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:49.360
parachutes wearable. That's kind of the idea, isn't it the

758
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.480
aim to be able to wear them? But then a suit?

759
01:06:53.800 --> 01:07:00.480
Would that be like a dinner suit? Just you're going

760
01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:03.280
to go parachuting, but you've got a job interview, So

761
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:07.400
I'll go to the job interview first and I'll just

762
01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:10.199
jump out the window and parachute home. I don't know

763
01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:15.599
is that a thing, but it wasn't very popular. I

764
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:20.079
personally think that parachutes should be available to anyone. What

765
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:24.559
they should be like seat belts in cars. They should

766
01:07:24.599 --> 01:07:30.440
be compulsory for everyone to wear. A parachute that goes

767
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:37.480
up in a plane, any plane that's just me, and

768
01:07:37.559 --> 01:07:41.400
anyone on a boat should have a life digging around

769
01:07:41.440 --> 01:07:44.920
themselves at all times and a life jacket on. So

770
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:49.280
even on cruises, everybody should be wearing a life jacket

771
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:59.199
at all times. Again, cruises might become less popular if

772
01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:10.519
that was enforced, but for me, safety is everything. So

773
01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:12.920
that's why I wear condom when I watch porn. No,

774
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:16.600
I don't doubt it's a Sillypians say flying saucer camera

775
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:24.159
designed to spot UFOs but never gained traction. Our flying

776
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:30.880
saucer camera is someone else has pointed this out. It's strange,

777
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:36.479
isn't it that we now have not only the cameras

778
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:40.640
everywhere we go, like you know, in the streets and

779
01:08:41.039 --> 01:08:45.720
in this country it's the most surveyed, surveillanced country, and

780
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:48.560
pretty much the whole world, I think, especially in London,

781
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:54.560
maybe Japan, New York maybe sort of equal maybe, but

782
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:04.279
everybody's walking around with a camera, generally good quality cameras

783
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:08.439
on the phones. Not great sound, but pictures usually pretty

784
01:09:08.439 --> 01:09:15.239
good if you're outside. Yeah, how often do we see

785
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:19.119
UFOs now? I know if they've named them a different

786
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:23.479
name now it's not UFOs, it's been no still UFOs.

787
01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:27.359
I'm not going to change it. It's not derogatory words.

788
01:09:27.359 --> 01:09:29.560
I'm not going to change it. I'm using that word

789
01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:36.760
or that that synonym or whatever. You FOS Unidentified flying objects,

790
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:43.600
just changing it to whatever they change it to. The

791
01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:45.920
American government decided, are we going to give it a

792
01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:52.399
different name? Now? No? No, the TV shows, you know,

793
01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:59.640
the UFO files still the UFO files not changed. Just

794
01:09:59.680 --> 01:10:06.640
because Skoda I've decided to call their cars scooter, it's

795
01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:12.479
still Skoder. We still say Skoda little, still little, no

796
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:18.119
matter how often for years trying to tell us leadle, Leadle, No,

797
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:21.039
it's little. We call it little. That's how we do

798
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:29.439
things in this country. Skoda little. Sorry, that's just the

799
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:36.800
way it is. And what was a few names that

800
01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:41.319
we didn't know? Oh yeah, I remember when Dynasty came out.

801
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:45.039
There was that whole thing like is it dynasty or dynasty?

802
01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:48.359
We're calling it dynasty, but I'm sure they call it

803
01:10:48.439 --> 01:10:51.800
dynasty in America. What's the correct way to say it?

804
01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:58.359
And I'll be saying yeah, Also, what about Dallas? That's

805
01:10:58.399 --> 01:11:00.720
what a whole family at turned on me. What about Dallas?

806
01:11:01.239 --> 01:11:02.199
So how were supposed to.

807
01:11:04.760 --> 01:11:07.720
That was just ridiculous. Where am I going with that?

808
01:11:07.720 --> 01:11:09.720
It's really just ridiculous. I'm not even going to finish

809
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:16.479
that sentence. That's ridiculous.

810
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:21.520
Oh no, wonder I was in this special class.

811
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:34.840
Are we supposed to pronounce dallas? Oh dear did oh?

812
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:46.800
Oh man? That was silly. It's very silly. Okay, back

813
01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:52.239
to normality. Oh my good am I about to read

814
01:11:52.279 --> 01:11:58.000
this out. Baby cage? Okay, this next one baby cage

815
01:11:58.279 --> 01:12:06.039
from the nineteen thirties. A mesh cage.

816
01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:11.840
Ah, I can't even read this out a mess, A

817
01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:15.479
mesh cage to suspend babies outside.

818
01:12:15.119 --> 01:12:26.039
London flats like budgies, like a budgy cage, but for

819
01:12:26.119 --> 01:12:34.159
a baby, you.

820
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:42.960
Are, Oh my goodness, that's ridiculous that this little tommy doing.

821
01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:48.159
We but look he's on the he's on the Verantes.

822
01:12:49.119 --> 01:12:55.000
He's hanging up in his little cage. Wow, this is

823
01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:59.640
a real thing. Apparently, health concerns, health concerns ended it.

824
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:02.399
I bet you it's health concerns about whether or not

825
01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:05.359
the cage dropped and hit an adult on their head.

826
01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:07.039
That's probably what the health concerns were.

827
01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:09.560
Weren't about the baby being stuck in a cage.

828
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:13.800
Wow. I do apologize. I didn't know this was going

829
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:18.159
to make me laugh. I should have known, really, but

830
01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:30.119
oh god, it's ridiculous. Baby cage glamor bonnet, a facial

831
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:35.359
vacuum device from nineteen forty baby case. Okay, moving on,

832
01:13:36.359 --> 01:13:42.159
facial vacuum, a facial vacuum device from nineteen forties for

833
01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:53.000
complexion improvement, discontinued. A glamor bonnet, a facial vacuum. That's

834
01:13:53.479 --> 01:13:58.920
so basically you're sucking the skin out. I suppose it stretches.

835
01:13:59.359 --> 01:14:02.720
That's the opposite, though, isn't it. Isn't it about like

836
01:14:02.880 --> 01:14:06.520
booty products are supposed to be not supposed to be.

837
01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:12.720
Isn't it like quite often about tightening the skin, not

838
01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:19.359
stretching the skin? I don't know, my Clearly you don't

839
01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:30.840
know much about that stuff anyway. A shower hood this

840
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:39.920
was nineteen seventies Germany. Head covering, shower shield, head covering,

841
01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:49.720
shower shield. People just preferred shampoo. I don't understand that

842
01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:59.600
shower hood head covering. How do you How do you

843
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:02.640
have a sh shower and cover your head so your

844
01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:07.119
head doesn't get wet? I mean, I know you can

845
01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:10.880
have a shower cap. Can't you, but a shower shield

846
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:15.920
would literally stop the water from but it just wouldn't

847
01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:21.359
get onto your body, would it. I don't know. Maybe

848
01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:29.159
that's why it discontinued pet flavored water called Thirsty Dog

849
01:15:30.000 --> 01:15:37.920
the mid nineties. Pet flavored water odd and unsuccessful. Okay,

850
01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:44.560
so is it water that tasted like pets that humans

851
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:49.560
drunk or is it water that was flavored that dog's drunk.

852
01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:54.760
I'm not sure. Maybe that's where the problem was with

853
01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:59.279
the advertising. People thought, why we don't want to have

854
01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:04.000
water that tastes like a dog or a cat or

855
01:16:04.000 --> 01:16:13.800
a budge or you know number thirty. A cigarette umbrella,

856
01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:23.800
the whimsical design never attained popularity. A cigarette umbrella, right,

857
01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:26.319
this is one of those moments I have to look

858
01:16:26.359 --> 01:16:42.039
this up. I'm sorry, I am interested now cigarette umbrella.

859
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:49.199
Oh my goodness. Who to see the picture of it? Right?

860
01:16:50.079 --> 01:17:01.920
So basically the from what I can see, I have

861
01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:08.960
to look at images cigarette umbrella. Do you know those

862
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:11.600
cigarette holders that people used to have in the old days,

863
01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:13.880
like a plastic thing and then they sticked the cigarette

864
01:17:13.880 --> 01:17:17.399
in the end. It's like that with a little contraption

865
01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:22.199
like a little arm with an umberrella that covers the cigarette,

866
01:17:23.159 --> 01:17:28.560
so literally like an umbrella, the kind of thing that

867
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:32.880
perhaps get in a drink or something, and it protected

868
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:41.239
the cigarette from the rain. Ah. So the next lot

869
01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:50.239
is tech misfires. So number thirty one Nintendo Nintendo famy

870
01:17:50.279 --> 01:17:56.800
Com Fami Comm initial release, early faulty console that froze

871
01:17:56.800 --> 01:18:01.680
games led to recall. Well, yeah, rightly so, but that

872
01:18:01.720 --> 01:18:05.159
would be horrible for people to you look forward to

873
01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:23.840
something and then everything freezes, you know. Yeah. At and

874
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:32.039
T picture phone nineteen sixty four, videophone debited at World's Fair.

875
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:50.640
It was too expensive sixteen to sixteen sixteen dollars per minute. Okay,

876
01:18:50.880 --> 01:18:57.680
so videophones worked in nineteen sixty four. Yeah, it was

877
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:02.840
sixteen dollars a minute then. But it would have gone now,

878
01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:09.520
isn't it. I mean, I'm sure they could have sold

879
01:19:09.600 --> 01:19:15.840
at least a few thousand. People that had money, you know, millionaires,

880
01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:21.279
would probably love to have something like that. In fact,

881
01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:25.079
some people that were just quite well off would probably

882
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:29.439
like to have one and just spend a couple of

883
01:19:29.479 --> 01:19:31.880
minutes a week talking on the phone, or a couple

884
01:19:31.920 --> 01:19:34.880
of minutes a month talking to family that maybe lived

885
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:43.319
the other side of the country or something. I remember

886
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:48.560
I've got a ring doorbell, And I remember there was

887
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:55.239
I dated this person who lived in a block of

888
01:19:55.279 --> 01:20:03.600
flats and she actually had this screen inside her flat

889
01:20:04.239 --> 01:20:07.640
and downstairs in the main doorway because it was a

890
01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:12.239
locked security we had thirty years ago security locked that

891
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:17.840
ours isn't locked. But I'm just moaning now. But it's

892
01:20:17.880 --> 01:20:20.680
literally pressed it and you could see who was down there.

893
01:20:21.640 --> 01:20:24.479
They couldn't see you, but you unless you were down

894
01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:28.119
there as well, But then who'd answered the door? But

895
01:20:28.159 --> 01:20:30.760
you'd it kind of you could see who was on

896
01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:35.119
the screen. It was black and white, I think, but

897
01:20:35.199 --> 01:20:38.000
it's like, wow, I was thirty years ago and it

898
01:20:38.079 --> 01:20:45.039
was a good quality picture as well. Bill Gates is

899
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:49.399
tablet PC two thousand and one, so it was too

900
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:56.880
bulky and pricey at two thousand dollars. That was before

901
01:20:56.920 --> 01:21:09.119
the ipander iPad era tablet PC. Again, maybe the only

902
01:21:09.159 --> 01:21:13.399
way it works is if they sell millions. Maybe they

903
01:21:13.479 --> 01:21:17.960
have to sell millions, like really quickly selling something at

904
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:25.319
two thousand dollars. They still maybe seller one hundred thousand, ten,

905
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:30.600
twenty thousand, but I guess that's not enough. But I'm

906
01:21:30.640 --> 01:21:34.560
sure they'd find twenty thirty thousand people in America that

907
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:38.640
would have paid two thousand dollars to have a tablet PC.

908
01:21:43.760 --> 01:21:47.800
But to be fair, I think my business acumen. Possibly

909
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:52.079
Bill Gates has never once phoned me up to ask

910
01:21:52.199 --> 01:21:55.840
me for financial advice, so I suppose probably a reason

911
01:21:55.880 --> 01:22:04.439
for that. Does he have my number? Though? Ah sony

912
01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:10.720
CD copy protection dr M scheme that annoyed legitimate buyers.

913
01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:13.000
I don't you know what that means? So I'll move

914
01:22:13.039 --> 01:22:18.119
on head on two thousands headache relief geil marketed with

915
01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:23.760
bizarre ads faded away. I have a mild recollection of that.

916
01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:40.600
Phone fingers, phone fingers thumb attached to phone receiver accessory

917
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:52.720
and never took off a thumb attached phone receiver thumb

918
01:22:52.720 --> 01:22:57.840
attached phone receiver accessory. I'm not sure how does that

919
01:22:57.880 --> 01:23:07.520
make sense to you? Phone fingers? So I suppose like

920
01:23:07.560 --> 01:23:11.800
the phone is on your fingers and you tap? How well?

921
01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:19.760
Pop up video ads early online ads that became universally despised. Yes,

922
01:23:21.159 --> 01:23:23.279
they're still on. What are you talking about? They're still there?

923
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:28.159
The pop up video ads are still there. They're still online.

924
01:23:28.199 --> 01:23:31.720
They're still see them on Facebook. Video ads popping up?

925
01:23:35.760 --> 01:23:46.159
I think crocs fashion flop oi. Now I'm unhappy about that.

926
01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:51.279
I'm wearing crocs right now, and they're pink crocs fashion flop.

927
01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:57.039
Those still around, widely derided and listed as a worst No.

928
01:23:58.640 --> 01:24:02.399
I think you'll find millions of peace people love crocs.

929
01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:09.279
They're comfortable, they are I wear them every day. I

930
01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:17.399
don't go out in them generally unless I want to

931
01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:23.760
scare the neighbors quick catastrophes. So forty one a baby cage,

932
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:35.079
So that's sort of been my goodness. A leicestra this

933
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:39.479
is a thing, a leicestra nineteen nineties, a fat substitute

934
01:24:39.560 --> 01:24:45.079
detergent causing digestive issues. So yeah, that these were these

935
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:53.600
were taken off because they weren't stable or they weren't good.

936
01:24:54.399 --> 01:25:00.600
Clippy office assistant. Oh do you remember Clippy on Microsoft Office?

937
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:05.880
An annoying animated staple in Microsoft Office? Is it still

938
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.439
not about? They used annoying me. Couldn't get rid of it,

939
01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:13.840
Like why just go away? I liked it for the

940
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:17.079
first day. It was a novelty, but then after that

941
01:25:19.199 --> 01:25:21.159
it's a bit like a relationship, isn't it. You know?

942
01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:32.399
After the first day. Crinaline crinaline hooped skirts fashion hazard

943
01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:38.600
from nineteenth century. No, I don't know that. Alas a

944
01:25:38.640 --> 01:25:44.640
hoola chair exercise with exercise while sitting a chair, That

945
01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:50.279
didn't sell well. The reason people sit is because they

946
01:25:50.279 --> 01:25:56.720
don't want to exercise, you know. Is there's two different things.

947
01:25:57.199 --> 01:26:02.079
It's like eating and going to toddlet I mean not

948
01:26:02.640 --> 01:26:09.439
exclusively separate, but generally done at different times, unless you're

949
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:16.640
in a hurry, miser or miser flying car car cut

950
01:26:16.720 --> 01:26:23.760
with aircraft wings. It didn't It didn't fly, basically, and

951
01:26:24.079 --> 01:26:26.239
that's a pretty good reason for a car, a flying

952
01:26:26.279 --> 01:26:31.560
car to be miscontinued or discontinued if it doesn't actually fly.

953
01:26:34.279 --> 01:26:38.920
Smell a vision nineteen sixty cinemas They released odors during

954
01:26:39.000 --> 01:26:45.000
films apparently just made the audience laugh. It's not a

955
01:26:45.039 --> 01:26:53.039
bad thing, is it? Snuggy? For dogs? Attempting pet wear?

956
01:26:53.279 --> 01:26:59.279
That flopped? Oh? I loved. I dressed him up all

957
01:26:59.359 --> 01:27:02.319
day long if I could. It's like a little doll,

958
01:27:03.199 --> 01:27:11.159
my little doll, my little action man. Pop rock candy, rumored,

959
01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:18.520
urban legends killed sales, legal but scandalized. So I have

960
01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:25.560
no idea what that's about. Highdrogenated oils, so that that

961
01:27:25.640 --> 01:27:39.119
didn't go very well. Body rust proofing. Okay, chat GPT

962
01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:43.960
has made up of same joke. There body rustproofing KFC

963
01:27:44.119 --> 01:27:48.359
flavored snack. Just kidding, but many silly ones filled the

964
01:27:48.359 --> 01:27:58.119
time list. He's given me jokes. Wow, it's making jokes.

965
01:27:58.159 --> 01:28:01.760
Got joke, He's got jokes. Remember the first time I

966
01:28:01.760 --> 01:28:07.279
heard that when I was in London. Jason's got jokes.

967
01:28:08.039 --> 01:28:10.199
It's not even a sentence, it's not even a proper sentence.

968
01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:20.039
I'm telling jokes. My last sales job, there was this Okay,

969
01:28:20.039 --> 01:28:22.199
everyone was younger than me pretty much when I was there.

970
01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:26.399
Even people who were retiring were younger than me. And

971
01:28:30.159 --> 01:28:32.800
one of the people I worked with, she was about

972
01:28:32.880 --> 01:28:38.600
twenty two twenty three. I was what was I at

973
01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:45.520
the time, forty two? Fort yeah, forty two probably only

974
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:48.039
ten years well, not a big difference, but you know,

975
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:50.039
to her, I was like, I was an old, old

976
01:28:50.159 --> 01:28:59.600
man and I said something that maybe was mildly humorous,

977
01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:06.920
and she said, oh, Jason did a funny Well, Jason said,

978
01:29:06.920 --> 01:29:13.319
are funny? Like, Okay, so I'm not allowed to say

979
01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:18.479
funny things because I'm over the age of ten. Is

980
01:29:18.479 --> 01:29:22.079
that what we're doing now? Because I'm not twenty two

981
01:29:22.199 --> 01:29:26.760
or twenty three, I can't say anything humorous doesn't work

982
01:29:26.840 --> 01:29:30.039
like that. I know some people lose their sense of

983
01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:34.920
humor for whatever reason, but it's just like, come on,

984
01:29:37.800 --> 01:29:39.880
what am I supposed to I think what it is

985
01:29:39.880 --> 01:29:43.279
is I think some people are if they've got parents

986
01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:49.439
my age, I should be acting like a parent, or

987
01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:52.720
I should be acting like a teacher or something, and

988
01:29:52.760 --> 01:29:59.239
I'm not on neither of those things. I act what

989
01:29:59.279 --> 01:30:03.119
I am, which is I don't know what it is.

990
01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:06.439
I don't know what I am anymore. But what I

991
01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:13.000
do know is I have completed the list on here

992
01:30:14.319 --> 01:30:17.159
that I came up with. Let me just have a look.

993
01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:19.800
You realize this is the third recording I've done today.

994
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:23.560
I don't know why. Well, I know why, because I've

995
01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:27.479
done three recordings, but I did too previous. I don't

996
01:30:27.520 --> 01:30:32.760
know why I've done so many. Just felt like the

997
01:30:32.840 --> 01:30:41.920
right thing to do, I suppose. So yeah, that's the

998
01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:45.399
end of this recording. I'm going to edit it, edit

999
01:30:45.640 --> 01:30:50.439
and process it when I wake up tomorrow morning. Thank

1000
01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:53.800
you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself, because

1001
01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:58.159
you do deserve to be happy and be gentle with yourself.

1002
01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:07.640
He deserved to feel safe. Lots of love by
