00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:06.160
Hello, and welcome to Jasonnewland dot com. My name is

2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:23.839
Jason Newland and hello, Hello, how are you good? It's

3
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.320
hot so hot in here. Today is the twenty fifth

4
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:39.240
of June two thousand and twenty five, and it is

5
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:48.039
six thirty four pum. So please only listen when you

6
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:49.679
can safely closeize.

7
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.719
Oh tired, very tired.

8
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:09.959
Oh so something on there? Why is that not giving

9
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:19.640
me analytics? That's strange. It's very strange. What's going on? Podcasts?

10
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.319
So I've got multiple podcasts? Why is it not give

11
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.840
me analytics? So I'm just looking at the analytics, get

12
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:35.680
insights about your website, visiting our stats. Okay, it's not

13
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.599
given me any of the moment. It doesn't matter. It

14
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:44.799
doesn't don't matter. When I got my website back, the

15
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.040
person who runs the podcast or I don't know, telling

16
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.519
me off. You can't keep stopping, you can't keep you

17
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.920
deleting it because otherwise you know, I can't keep There's

18
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.519
a lot of work to get it back. It's okay,

19
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:03.079
you need to joining annual. So I can't afford anal.

20
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.239
I said, well you need to. You have to pay

21
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.159
for anal because it it's basically we need to know

22
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.240
that you can stay for the full year, and I said, well,

23
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.520
I can't afford. I can't do that. I can do monthly.

24
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.319
And in the end he said, okay, then monthly is

25
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.680
So that was all right. I'm going to go on

26
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.879
to Facebook because I had a few comments. I'm going

27
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.039
to read out some of the messages that I've had

28
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:41.560
on Facebook. My back is hurting. I think with all

29
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.639
the car journeys and the bus journeys, there's a lot

30
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:50.759
of jolting around on the roads. They're not very smooth,

31
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.560
a lot of them. I've noticed that's kind of jolted

32
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.039
my back quite a lot, and I'm not used to it.

33
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:04.719
So I'm not sure what else whatever reasons reasons, I

34
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:12.520
don't know what they are from my back is so. So, look,

35
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.159
I did do a recording. Actually I did a recording.

36
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.439
According to this, I did a recording on Saturday as well,

37
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.159
which I don't remember doing. And it was a deep

38
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:33.800
sleep whisper hypnosis recording which I did on the twenty

39
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:45.800
second of June, which was indeed Sunday. Twenty second of

40
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.080
June was Sunday, all right, so I did it. I

41
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.439
don't remember doing recording on Sunday. How did I manage

42
00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:02.719
to do that? Weird? Strange? So technically, so this is

43
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:04.240
the third one of the week because I did do

44
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.120
one Sunday, did one Monday. No, I didn't do one Monday.

45
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:16.399
I did one yesterday, which was Tuesday. And it's kind

46
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.439
of strange. It's all being a bit weird. It's just

47
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.600
been weird. It's been a weird week. Weird, weird, weird, weird.

48
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.120
If you want to know more about that, then I

49
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.759
suggest you listen to yesterday's recording to save me go

50
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:33.920
through it again and boring those that already have ingested

51
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.879
the boringness of yesterday's a recording just to say that

52
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.759
I've been visiting a neighbor in hospital and that would

53
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.959
be yeah, that's kind of been the whole week so far.

54
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.519
So Friday night and then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

55
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.600
so six days in a row. I've been going up

56
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.800
and back and forward to the hospital. Six So it's

57
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:14.800
what twelve journeys or thirteen fourteen fifteen maybe if you

58
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:20.399
include the buses, sixteen seventeen eighteen journeys, because the buses,

59
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.240
it's two journeys to get here. But I genuinely cannot

60
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.680
remember which days I got a taxi, which days I

61
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.040
got bus, Which days I got a lift from a neighbor,

62
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.600
paid them ten pounds to take me. It's it's a

63
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.279
bit of a blur, a bit of a blur. Today

64
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:50.759
I got a taxi there and back because it took

65
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.879
me two hours to get home last night or yesterday

66
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:59.199
afternoon on the bus or two different buses. With the

67
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.279
walk in the waiting and the journeys, it's a two

68
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.920
hour journey. And I just I just think of a

69
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.120
little Vinnie waiting here for me because it doesn't eat

70
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.959
his dinner, doesn't It's like lazier pining for me. I

71
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.879
imagine he doesn't doesn't like it when to go out,

72
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.000
really doesn't like it when I go out, really really

73
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:34.240
doesn't like it. And I found there that's weird breakfast

74
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:40.519
cereal in the middle of the settee buttocks, you know,

75
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:52.600
been between the two buttocks of the city increase. Yeah,

76
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.439
I'm just going to try to remember what happened today.

77
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.879
What happened today. Last night was weird. Okay, this is

78
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:07.279
very strange, Vinnie. So I had a sleep in the afternoon,

79
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.720
like I just did, just now as well. So I

80
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.000
had probably about an hour an hour and a half

81
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.120
sleep and then he started barking summon in the garden.

82
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.160
So what I did is I went to bed. It

83
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.279
wasn't an early night last night, funny enough, probably about eleven,

84
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.680
maybe half eleven, even because I did the recording, which

85
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.399
was nearly two an hour and forty minutes before going

86
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:42.879
to bed. And yeah, it's just just the way it went,

87
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:45.600
I guess because my sleeping is a little bit out

88
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.639
because it really ever since Friday. Because normally I'm up

89
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.560
on I go to bed about ten o'clock, sometimes eleven,

90
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.360
sometimes nine, you know, on a weekend, if it's boxing on,

91
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.680
i'd go to bed after the box had finishes, and

92
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.839
sometimes that can be about half eleven twelve, but generally,

93
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.720
and it's not because I have to. I don't go

94
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:11.759
to bed at ten because that's my bedtime and I

95
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.480
get in trouble if I don't. I don't have anyone

96
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.120
coming in checking that my eyes are closed. It's nothing

97
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.319
that would be really weird, wouldn't it, especially as I

98
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.120
live alone. So I choose to do that, and that's

99
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:33.559
kind of been my routine for the last couple of years. Really, Friday,

100
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.879
I was up till I was at the hospital to

101
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:42.720
about half three in the morning. I'd already gone to

102
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.320
bed at ten and kind of, yeah, that didn't work out.

103
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.679
So I ended up in the hospital with my neighbor,

104
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.679
and then I got home probably just after four. It

105
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.559
was quite a quick journey because there was no traffic

106
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:02.399
on the roads, really, but I was too orth I

107
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.960
was tired, I was too awake to go to sleep,

108
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.879
and I was also really hungry because I hadn't eaten

109
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:14.279
since probably six o'clock in the evening, so I needed

110
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.799
I had some breakfast seal, which is all I needed really,

111
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.759
just something, just a little bit of food. So I

112
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:24.440
didn't go to bed hungry, and I eventually went to sleep.

113
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.960
I fell asleep in the chair here, woke up about

114
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:34.279
eight nine, about eight o'clock year, and then I went Saturday,

115
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:36.799
I just started again. I think I left at eleven

116
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.519
or midday Saturday to go to the hospital, and I've

117
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.600
been back and forward every day. But I don't seem

118
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.720
to have caught up my sleep, which is probably a

119
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.960
bit weird. But I kind of don't, yeah, kind of

120
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:55.720
a bit. And there isn't it that whole theory that

121
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.360
you can never catch up on your sleep. I don't know.

122
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:07.600
Last night I went to bed a bit later than

123
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.919
I normally do, which is fine because I'd had a

124
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.559
sleep in the afternoon. It's usually this is going to

125
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:20.120
sound weird. I quite often have an afternoon nap in

126
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.240
my normal day to day, but I haven't had that,

127
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.840
you know, for the last week. I'm not sure if

128
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.879
it's a good thing or about or a neutral thing.

129
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.039
I don't know. It just it just hasn't happened. So

130
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:40.879
I'd like a late or early evening nap instead. Last

131
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.519
night Vinnie would we would not get on the bed

132
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:53.720
with me. He refused to get on the bed, and

133
00:10:55.559 --> 00:11:01.559
I didn't really understand why. It just wouldn't like he

134
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.720
refused to point blank to get on the bed with me.

135
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:12.399
So I took him, I think, and then he did

136
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:17.159
get on eventually eventually did but he was being really

137
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.320
weird about it. And then at two o'clock this morning,

138
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:25.240
he was on the floor looking up at me from

139
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.039
the floor, you know. And I don't know. I guess

140
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.279
he must have been making some noise or scratching at

141
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.279
the bed or something to wake me up, and I said,

142
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:38.799
what is it Lassie? And nothing? So, I mean, Lassie

143
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.399
is such a ridiculous TV show if anyone ever watched it,

144
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.519
dogs communicated and letting you know. If Lassie was a

145
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:54.159
Jack Russell like Minnie, that show would last for five

146
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.279
minutes and the end, in the end, that just that'd

147
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.440
be it. It'd be like, what is it? What is it? Oh?

148
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:04.080
You want to treat Okay, that's it. And he just

149
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.000
jumped up when I said that. So about two o'clock,

150
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.960
I don't know what's going on, so I give him

151
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.799
some food. I thought maybe it's hungry. He eats the

152
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.720
food and I go and lay down again, and he's

153
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:25.799
still standing there or sitting down staring at me. Now

154
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.279
I don't have any treats. Run out of treats for him.

155
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.799
I still got these little bony things that he can

156
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.399
have chew on, but I've got no treats. He's got

157
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.279
through them. I haven't been able to do any shopping

158
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:42.159
this week yet. Got some milk from the hospitals. That's

159
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.159
kind of all I've got. I've got been trying to

160
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.480
eat when i've been out, and I have crumpets for

161
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.919
my dinner tonight. So that's good. I got them from

162
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.639
the hospital as well. And I can't believe the restaurant's closed.

163
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.559
I was going to have a meal because when my

164
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.440
neighbor's having his meal, I go and go and get

165
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.799
something to eat. And so far as just being costers

166
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.759
like a toasted sandwich thing, a toasty or whatever they

167
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.200
call them. But I thought, oh, I'll try out the

168
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.960
restaurant because it was closed at the weekend, I'll try

169
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.399
that out. And I went along and turns out it's

170
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:28.919
being refurbished, so it's just not open for anyone, including

171
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:34.840
the stuff. I think the stuff are taking sandwiches in. Well. Actually,

172
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.960
I did see a lot of the nurses and doctors

173
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:41.559
in costers, so I imagine they're getting quite a good

174
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.720
amount of money coming in. I hope that they get

175
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.600
a discount. I really do. And in fact, without getting

176
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:56.919
political political, nurses, doctors, they shouldn't pay a damn thing.

177
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.440
Anyone who works in the hospital should get free food,

178
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.200
or school kids or school kids and teachers should get

179
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:10.039
free food. I'm going further, everyone should get free food. Okay,

180
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:17.639
I'm now back, So I've got some messages to read out. Okay,

181
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.200
so I'm going to do that. In a minute. The

182
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.960
I just didn't know what to do. I didn't what

183
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.679
what what is it? What is it? Vinny? What is it?

184
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.879
I didn't you can really figure it out. It was

185
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.559
bugging me. But he wasn't being obvious of what he wanted.

186
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.840
He wasn't running towards the front door, he wasn't looking

187
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:41.519
at the kitchen door. He wasn't you know, he wasn't

188
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:45.240
doing anything particular. So in the end, I thought, maybe

189
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.759
he needs a wee wi or something else, you know,

190
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.639
so I'll take him outside into the garden. For some reason,

191
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:59.360
it wasn't really that dark out there. It means normally

192
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.639
dark at two clock in the morning, but it was

193
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.039
relatively light, so I went out there. He does go

194
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.080
for a weeed, but that's not what he wanted. And

195
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.600
he kept looking at the doorway of the other building.

196
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:20.480
And I don't really know why. I'm just like why

197
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.080
two o'clock in the morning. And then he I dropped

198
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.320
the hand you know, the handle for the lead, because

199
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.960
I have to have my lead on his inner garden

200
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.879
otherwise he will just run off. I dropped the lead

201
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.240
on the floor and it made a big old bang

202
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.320
like bang. Actually it was less of a bang, more

203
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:51.919
of a splat or clap, you know, plastic concrete and

204
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:56.440
a bit like I imagine Pamela Anderson doing some break

205
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:06.679
dancing anyway. So that's quite a really old reference, isn't it. Really,

206
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:11.879
that's like a nineties reference. I mean both of them

207
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.679
are kind of nineteen I mean breakdancing more nineteen eighties,

208
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.639
isn't it. I love breakdancing the movie Breakdancing or is

209
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.200
it Breakdancing A Breakdancer? It was one of the best

210
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.960
movies ever at the time. And when do you see

211
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.799
it ever played? Not in this country. I've don't think

212
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:39.679
I've ever seen it on TV. It's like a forgotten movie.

213
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.840
And it was absolutely brilliant. It was uplifting, it was

214
00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:50.039
and the dance techniques were phenomenal. It was new, you know,

215
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.080
and that wasn't new new. I suppose anything that goes

216
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.080
into a cinema would have probably been around for years.

217
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.759
I've seen footage of Michael Jackson doing the robot walk

218
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.160
in the seventies, like in seventy five, seventy six, So

219
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:13.680
it wasn't a new a new new thing, but it

220
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.039
was amazing. And there's a couple of those movies that

221
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:28.039
are really good. Now, I've realized a few things over

222
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.039
the years. Over the years, I've learned a few things.

223
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.799
First of all, I can't listen to someone like me.

224
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.720
But my neighbor is kind of a little bit like me.

225
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:45.400
But when it comes to sport, he will talk about sport,

226
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:53.359
sport or politics. That's his thing, and he can talk

227
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.839
about it. I think he could do twelve hours straight

228
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:04.079
and he just keep talking. And he's very passionate. It's

229
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:09.319
very Yeah, he's excited, he gets excited, and he's just loves,

230
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:20.440
loves talking about stuff. And I struggle struggled because I'm

231
00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:25.039
not interested. If it's a subject i'm not interested in,

232
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:30.200
my eyes do glaze over and I can't I can't listen. Now,

233
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.680
it took me many years to realize that people's eyes

234
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:39.240
were glazing over when I was talking, because I not

235
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:42.079
so much now, you know, I suppose ever since I

236
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.359
learned to be a counselor, I kind of learned a

237
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:50.880
bit more communication skills, human communication skills. And also when

238
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.279
I was a excuse me, when I was a salesperson

239
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:59.160
on the phones, working in a call center. So it's

240
00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:05.839
a you know, it's a conversation so I had twenty

241
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:10.119
years of learning to do that stuff. Twenty five years

242
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:14.359
of learning to do that stuff, I guess now twenty years,

243
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:20.640
ten years, I don't know, however many years. But my

244
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.119
favorite is probably just the monologu where I just talk

245
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.400
at people, but I know I can't do that apart

246
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:38.680
from what I do these recordings, and I learned years ago.

247
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.279
Like I remember seeing people's eyes glaze over. I didn't

248
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.720
ask doing it, and I didn't notice the glaze, the

249
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.079
glazing of their eyes until I started learning about hypnosis,

250
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.119
and I started at that time, I started playing around

251
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.720
with it because I'd move from what I was talking

252
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.920
about out to something completely different and they didn't even notice.

253
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:12.160
That's when I realized that I was naturally a hypnotist,

254
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.400
like my natural Like I was hypnotizing people without even

255
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.759
realizing what came, not maybe not hypnotizing, putting them into

256
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:27.240
a trance without realizing I was doing it and making

257
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:33.319
a focus and then almost drift, you know, not really

258
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.559
be there, be there, but not be there. It's kind

259
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.160
of a weird, weird one. And so what I started

260
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:45.039
doing is playing with it. Sometimes I have to have

261
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:53.440
a drink sometimes and this is in the late nineties. Okay,

262
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:58.200
when I was in full hypnotic mode, I would start

263
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:02.119
talking to someone and then I would just lead and

264
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:04.759
I just keep talking, and they just look at me,

265
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.759
and I just keep talking and they just keep talking,

266
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.240
and see how long I could talk a complete nonsense

267
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.720
before they realized I was just talking complete nonsense. And

268
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.160
sometimes I could go on for like ten minutes and

269
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:23.839
I'd ask them a question and be like, huh, and

270
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.680
it had gone. There'd been somewhere else. It's like, really, well,

271
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.039
they weren't there. And I used to play with that

272
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.119
just because for fun. I wasn't doing it in a

273
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:38.240
harmful way. I wasn't giving them suggestions or anything. I

274
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.480
was just distracting them and then started talking about lawn

275
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:51.160
mowers and gremlins and pizza and you know, I just

276
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.920
think things that had nothing to do with why we

277
00:21:53.920 --> 00:22:01.400
were actually having a conversation. I was like, wow, I mean, technically,

278
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.519
I could have started these podcasts in the late nineties.

279
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:07.480
I could have started to Let Me Bore You to

280
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:15.759
Sleep in nineteen ninety nine, ninety eight, ninety nine, which

281
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:21.079
would make me one of the longest podcasts of all time.

282
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:26.640
But I didn't. I mean podcasts. I don't think we're

283
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.079
even really around them. But you know, I could have

284
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.920
made audios. There were ways of listening to audio online

285
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:44.119
back then. So yeah, it's too late now. But it's

286
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.160
too late now. I can't go back and start it earlier.

287
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:50.079
I mean, it's the old saying, isn't it. When's the

288
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:51.359
best time to start something?

289
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:52.279
Now?

290
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.119
There's never a good time. The best time is now.

291
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.039
I thought, don't ever wait, Yes, you can wait and

292
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.519
wait and wait. I used to know something like that.

293
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.680
It was always, oh, I'm going to do this when

294
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:09.960
this happens, and then you end up like, still haven't

295
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.359
done it thirty years later. And I've been like that

296
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:17.519
many times over the years, and I probably still will be.

297
00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:25.200
I'm a bit like that with vacuuming the carpet. I'll

298
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.880
do it. I was gonna say, I'm going to do

299
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:31.680
it next week. I'm going to do it the next

300
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.240
two weeks. I started off I'm going to do it

301
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.480
this afternoon. Then no, I'm going to do it tomorrow.

302
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.799
I'll do it before Saturday. I'll do it next week,

303
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:44.839
or do it over the weekend. I'll do it next week.

304
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:48.480
And now I'm kind of like I'm gonna I'm going

305
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.519
to vacuum before I'm sixty, you know, kind of the

306
00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:00.359
the deadlines kind of extended somewhat. Now I'm going to

307
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.119
read these messages out because there was a point to

308
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.039
what I was saying, and I've forgotten what it is.

309
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:12.480
Here's one message from yesterday. Sebastian believe it or not,

310
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.359
left another weird message. So let's have a look. What

311
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:22.680
did Sebastian right? Stop producing when you're feeling unwell? You

312
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.839
own me sex, but not daily recordings. No need to

313
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.599
risk a blip. You did well with helping your neighbor.

314
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:34.599
I'll just put question marks to the answer that one.

315
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:48.640
The thing is, it's I'd rather make a recording. I

316
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.039
still talk boringly. Think about it. How often do I

317
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:55.039
actually I think you can hear that dog in the background.

318
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.400
How often do I actually do anything? I rarely leave

319
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.839
the flat. I don't really go out and do much.

320
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:08.880
So this has given me stuff to talk about. So

321
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.079
it's kind of, you know, from that sense. I know

322
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.839
it's kind of a weird subject. Hospitals and stuff, and

323
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.559
he wants to hear about hospitals, but I'm not going

324
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:23.200
to go into detail about anything. About hospital. It's just

325
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:32.200
somewhere that I'm actually visiting at the moment. So you know,

326
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:40.359
I understand kind of where seb asked Sebastian is coming from.

327
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:48.079
But yeah, so part of that was nice. But yeah,

328
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:54.440
like I owe him what? So he writes what to

329
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:59.160
Sebastian and to me, are these additional services now being

330
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:04.160
offered to you? They are? But not to him, says Thoe, yes,

331
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:12.079
but Sebastian, no, definitely not. And then Sebastia decided that

332
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.880
the picture looked like Harvey kai Tell on my image,

333
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:20.559
and Christine says it was really interesting and could understand

334
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:23.720
your situation and now I know what to do if

335
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:27.279
I was in your position. You are an amazing neighbor

336
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.759
and friend, a good person. We could do with more kind,

337
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.240
caring people like you. You'll be exhausted after all that.

338
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:36.759
Thank you for sharing his story and I wish you

339
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:42.400
your friend well. Thank you, Christine. Yeah, it has been exhausting.

340
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:47.160
I think weird today. He was being awkward today. He

341
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:53.519
was being a little bit aggressive verbally not I don't know,

342
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:55.400
it's hard to explain, but he was getting a little

343
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.960
bit antsy is that a word? Antsy? A little bit

344
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:08.200
and argumentative. So I don't really know what was going

345
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.400
on with him. Well, I can guess, you know what's

346
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.920
going on. I know what's going on with him, but

347
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:19.039
I can guess that he just may I don't know.

348
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.079
It was a weird one because he's he seems to

349
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:28.640
be a little bit different each day. He's very calm,

350
00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:32.440
very softly spoken, but then when he gets going, he's

351
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:35.559
he kind of started getting a bit angry like that,

352
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:42.839
like expressive expressive. Yeah, maybe not towards me, a little

353
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:46.160
bit towards me, but towards what he was talking about

354
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:53.599
and like complaining about something. It was like, okay, it's

355
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:57.839
like a maybe a different side to him that I've

356
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:07.319
not really seen much of perhaps, So yeah, it was

357
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.079
a bit weird. I mean I kind of at one

358
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.440
point he was saying, well, you go and get back

359
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.000
to Vinnie. I think he was almost trying to kick

360
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:21.039
me out. I think I'd annoyed him at some point

361
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.599
I said something that must have annoyed him, So I

362
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.559
think he might be thinking that I'm the one that

363
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.160
was being annoying, and I'm thinking that he was the

364
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:32.200
one being not annoying. I don't know. There was one

365
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.200
point when we walked through the hospital, because I take

366
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:41.240
him out every day, and I don't think he I'm

367
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.920
not sure if he really appreciates going out, but all

368
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.839
the other people in his ward are not allowed out.

369
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:52.319
He's allowed out because he's got he's got his mobility

370
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:54.680
and he's got me and I kind of take him

371
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.480
and he's not walk. It's weird, but he's not walking away.

372
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.599
He used to walk. He's very he's getting on a bit,

373
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.359
but he's he's been walking to the petro station every

374
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:11.960
day since I've known him, and now said, he's walking

375
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.119
like one foot in front of the other, very slowly

376
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:20.119
and almost holding on to me at times. But he's

377
00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:22.400
physically fine, he said, So I'm kind of a little

378
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.680
bit confused, but so we're walking really slowly through the hospital.

379
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:31.960
Reminded me a little bit about when my nan had

380
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.759
doesn't say when she had her hip, but she always

381
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.359
she always had two hips. But when she'd like her

382
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:43.880
that damaged her hip. And he tripped up on some

383
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:47.839
lino that was sticking up, which was in the middle

384
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.119
of a doorway it which is quite close to the

385
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.240
exit and the entrance, and some people on the left

386
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.000
hand side. I don't know what they were doing, but

387
00:29:58.039 --> 00:30:05.640
they laughed. He didn't fall over, so I grabbed him,

388
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:08.519
but he didn't fall over anyway because he you know,

389
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:20.079
he kind of got his foot in and I the

390
00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:24.640
thing is, the people that laughed might have just been

391
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.200
laughing anyway. They might have just been in the middle

392
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:32.200
of a conversation. So I just I had to blank

393
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:35.799
that out. My natural reaction is to possibly say something,

394
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:40.440
so I no, no, no, no. So I turned to the

395
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:43.799
reception because there's literally a help desk right next to

396
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:49.240
where he tripped, and I said to him that he's

397
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.200
literally a bit of lino sticking up off the floor

398
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.640
and he tripped, luckily didn't fall over, But that's an

399
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:00.599
accident waiting to happen, and a lady beyond account. I said, okay,

400
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:05.200
I'll get the whatever to fix it. Still wasn't fixed

401
00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:07.799
when I left. I mean it was only like an

402
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:09.480
hour or two hours later, or an hour and a

403
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:14.839
half that I left later. But it's like, that's a

404
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:17.960
health and safety issue. It needs to be done quickly

405
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.279
because thousands of people are walking through there every day,

406
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:32.160
thousands and thousands. But it was weird because even though

407
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:38.319
he's only I mean, he's very light, I imagine compared to me,

408
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:45.119
he can't wait very much. Even then it's someone falls,

409
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.279
it's hard to stop them from falling, isn't it. I'll

410
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.960
stop him, you know, even if it means he lands

411
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:55.039
on me. I will stop him from falling. But at

412
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:57.319
the same time, I don't want him to get hurt.

413
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.880
And it was weird because putting his arm out to

414
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.079
just generally as we're walking, sort of almost like to

415
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.440
keep his balance. I'm kind of I'm just a little

416
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.119
bit confused with the whole thing because I've never seen

417
00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:21.279
him do that before. So we're outside, and he's we've

418
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:26.960
been out every day. I took him outside, and a

419
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:29.160
lot of people don't get to go out in the sun,

420
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.839
you know, they're kind of stuck inside the ward. And

421
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.160
all the people in his ward are just they haven't

422
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:43.799
been able to leave for days, some of them. One's

423
00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:48.359
waiting to go home, I think soon. And he spent

424
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:52.640
six days without going outside until his daughter came and

425
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:58.920
took him out. So I think it's good to take

426
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:01.119
him out, But then he he kind of doesn't want

427
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.079
to go out. It's almost like, let's go, let's go

428
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:08.000
for a little walk go into the because there's seeks,

429
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:11.279
lots of seating outside and it's lovely day. It has

430
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.880
been nice every day this week. Even when it was

431
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:18.759
windy and cloudy, it was still nice. You know, it's

432
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:23.640
still a nice temperature. But he's got like, okay, just

433
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:26.599
just wait, it's fine. So I don't know. I don't

434
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.759
know if he's struggling with the with the walk and

435
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.759
it's just not mentioning. I don't know, really, I don't know.

436
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:41.759
I am turning into a fuss pot. Now. I was

437
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.000
a fuss pot with Luke and he got annoyed with me.

438
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:51.119
But I haven't needed to be a fusspot since that time.

439
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.799
And over the last six months I've turned into a

440
00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:59.440
bit of a fuss spot with my neighbor that's in hospital,

441
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.599
just with helping him with his bills, helping him with

442
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:06.000
his just finding out stuff that he's ignored, trying to

443
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:10.559
help him to get it sorted. But over the last

444
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:16.280
month I haven't needed to really do anything, or maybe

445
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:19.760
the last two months even because he's just been happily

446
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:23.239
doing his thing. I see him when I see him,

447
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.039
usually see him a couple of times a week, maybe

448
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.639
three times a week, he asked me, if he needs

449
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:35.559
me to do something, I'll do it. And really the

450
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:40.000
only reason he contacted me not contacting I see him

451
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:45.559
fairly regularly, but he contacted me to because he phones

452
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.880
me like once twice a week, even though I'm just opposite,

453
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:53.840
like if he wants to just talk about sport or something,

454
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.400
and that's when I don't answer the phone. That's terrible.

455
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:06.760
But he needed my help with some stuff regarding the

456
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:09.760
bathroom being done, so I said I was going to

457
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:11.519
help him, just that he wanted to get the flat

458
00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:14.559
prepared before they builders came in and stuff like that,

459
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:18.519
and we were going to try and talk to electrician

460
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:24.840
to try and disconnect his cooker and maybe also see

461
00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.599
if we can get someone the plumber to connect his

462
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.480
washing machine. Neither of those things have happened to be

463
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:39.880
fair because it's other things have come up. But now

464
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.320
the last week I seemed to be I'm not I'm not,

465
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.480
I'm okay, I'm not seeming to be a fussy a

466
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:50.800
fuss pot. I have been a fusspot, and I know it,

467
00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:53.320
and I know it's annoying because I wouldn't like someone

468
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.880
doing it to me. I don't know why why I'm like,

469
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:06.519
that's it's almost like I'm concerned, and I can't hide

470
00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:12.480
being concerned, and I can't hide caring and wanting him

471
00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.239
to be okay and making sure that he's okay, knowing

472
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:19.119
that he wouldn't tell me if he wasn't. That's the thing.

473
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:31.320
And I think in the process of annoying, annoying, annoying him,

474
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.079
I did the same with my friend Luke downstairs. I

475
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:39.960
used to annoy the hell out of him sometimes. Is

476
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:43.440
so yeah, it's one of those things. I mean when

477
00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:47.480
I left today, I left it too, and I didn't

478
00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:50.639
want to go back, like ever again. I was going

479
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:52.519
to go back, but I was I told him not

480
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:56.079
coming back tomorrow. So I haven't been able to do

481
00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.480
my shopping. I haven't really been able to do much here.

482
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.119
I need to get bit of I made you to

483
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:08.800
do some washing the other day and some laundry. But yeah,

484
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:15.719
I thought tomorrow's Thursday, and I can get some get

485
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.280
a few bits done here and get my just have

486
00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.880
a day off to be fair, just have a lie in,

487
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.800
not have to do anything. And then my neighbor called.

488
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.960
A different neighbor called up about an hour ago saying

489
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:36.159
do I want to lift tomorrow. So I asked her,

490
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.639
I give her ten pounds to take me when she can.

491
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:45.119
She should take me once. And it's really she she'll

492
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:48.880
offer when she's going out herself, so she's not going

493
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:51.400
there specifically for me, but she's going anywhere near there.

494
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:55.280
She'll to the hospital. She'll give me a lift. And

495
00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:58.159
she called me up and said, I can take you

496
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:02.360
tomorrow morning. So I thought, well, okay, I'll do that.

497
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:06.719
And I called up my neighbor the I'm trying not

498
00:38:06.760 --> 00:38:09.880
to say his name, my neighbor opposite me who's in hospital.

499
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:13.159
I called him up just to see have you had

500
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:17.320
any other you know, just like I'll buy the one

501
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:21.320
coming tomorrow, he said, really, So he seemed like he

502
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.920
was quite pleased that I was coming, which is weird,

503
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:28.320
because he seemed really pleased that I was leaving today earlier.

504
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.039
It's this weird. I think I just annoying him, I think.

505
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:39.639
And so he's still got a bit of resentment, I

506
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:41.719
think towards me, because he wouldn't be in there if

507
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:48.239
it wasn't for me, and even though he needs to

508
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:52.960
be in there, and some people would argue the other way,

509
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:57.199
but you know, generally if he hadn't he had journed this.

510
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.360
You know, he needed to be in hospital. He needed

511
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:03.119
treatment for jaundice. He wouldn't have got any if he hadn't,

512
00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:07.599
if I hadn't called the paramedics, even if he could

513
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:13.199
get treated at home, you know, he I'm not sure

514
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.360
if Jordice goes away on his own. To be fair,

515
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:18.000
I don't know enough about it, but I do know

516
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:29.000
that it's basically it's serious. So I think he holds

517
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.559
that resentment because I've this whole thing is to turn

518
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:39.719
his life upside down, not just temporarily, So he's got that. Yeah,

519
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:41.679
I think I think he'd quite like to punch me.

520
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.719
I think I think is that. I think he's kind

521
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:53.440
of he's he's probably happy that I'm there and he's

522
00:39:53.480 --> 00:39:56.440
got a neighbor that cares and whatever. I guess Partly

523
00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:59.079
I'm sure that I'm guessing that might be in his mind,

524
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.719
but there also so that like part of him thinking.

525
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.800
You know, I'm not sure if he makes that sound

526
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:10.400
in his brain, but that is part of him. I

527
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:14.320
think that just I actually actually I've asked him it.

528
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:18.199
I'm quite blatant. I do ask people stuff I said,

529
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:21.320
like today, I said, you're angry today. You're angry with me,

530
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:26.159
aren't you? And he was just because he started talking

531
00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:33.760
about politics, and I said, and he was really stuck

532
00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:36.920
on this particular story. And he carried it on all

533
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.760
the way from when we was outside to when we

534
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:44.159
got back inside and he was eating his dinner, and

535
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:46.400
then after he's eating his dinner, he's still talking about

536
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:51.199
it to the neighbor, his neighbor and the bed next

537
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:55.000
to him. And I'm not sure if the neighbor next

538
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:57.719
to him even knew what he was talking about, because

539
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:02.920
he doesn't produce a subject again like me. This is

540
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:09.440
kind of if I started talking about and working in

541
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:13.840
the meter factory where we used to make meters. It's

542
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.400
a bit like that. It's like I'm talking about a

543
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:21.360
hospital and now I'm talking about making the boxes, and

544
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:23.760
you're going to think, well, am I still talking about

545
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.519
a hospital? Because what boxes would you make in the hospital?

546
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:35.400
And it's hard to follow sometimes, But I don't just

547
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:38.880
sit there passively and listen because it is a conversation

548
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:42.159
because as the person's there with me and I question,

549
00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.320
like what you Perhaps I shouldn't be, Perhaps I should

550
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.199
be I don't know. I just say what you're talking about, like,

551
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:53.199
not in a horrible way, but like what. I don't say,

552
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:56.840
what are you talking about? Now? What on earth are

553
00:41:56.840 --> 00:41:57.800
you going on about?

554
00:41:58.360 --> 00:41:58.920
Now?

555
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:05.119
I don't do that, but I do say, uh, wha,

556
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:16.079
where you want? What? What? Where you want? And at

557
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:20.559
one point he said, because I asked him something, I

558
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:22.239
don't know if I was talking about the lunch that

559
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:26.199
he just had, and he said some question or whatever,

560
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:29.119
and he said, you're trying to distract me from what

561
00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:34.920
I'm talking about. Because I've been doing that lately. I'm

562
00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.920
quite good at distracting people to bring them back to

563
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.320
a different subject. Not I suppose it is. Maybe it's

564
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:44.079
a little bit controlling. I don't mean it in a

565
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:49.840
controlling way, but it's a ways. There's a certain skill

566
00:42:49.880 --> 00:42:53.320
that I learned as a counselor and in hypnosis sort

567
00:42:53.360 --> 00:43:01.079
of therapeutic manner is when someone goes off track, and

568
00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:04.199
sometimes that can be really useful, other times not so

569
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:08.719
much so bringing it back to the reason they're there.

570
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:15.280
So if someone's coming because let's say someone's coming because

571
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:24.280
of uh yeah, maybe exam, you know, when I was

572
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:28.519
exam anxiety or something like that, and they'll be coming

573
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.199
for counseling because they were just struggling with that stuff

574
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.320
or something similar, I don't know, And then thet's start

575
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:45.519
be talking. They'd be talking about spaceships, and you know,

576
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:48.599
these were like, I'm talking about adult people, not like

577
00:43:48.679 --> 00:43:52.119
little kids, although I did used to see I used

578
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:55.480
to counsel kids as well. But sometimes you have to

579
00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:58.519
kind of bring it back to what the focus is

580
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:03.480
because in Connsolin there is I don't know what the

581
00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:09.960
correct term is, where people maybe not purposely, maybe not

582
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:18.840
like consciously move to a different subject to avoid I

583
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.239
guess it's avoidance, isn't I suppose that's probably the word,

584
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:23.360
isn't it? What do they what's it called when they

585
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:31.159
avoid things? Oh? Avoidance? So it is something. It's kind

586
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:33.800
of something. As a therapist, I think it might can

587
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:36.559
be useful to kind of bring them back to notice that,

588
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:41.840
maybe to even mention it as well. I noticed you've

589
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:48.519
come here because you had an issue with you know,

590
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:51.159
when you had that holiday and things didn't go quite well.

591
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.760
But I'm wondering what that's got to do with that

592
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:59.519
lego set that you had when you were nine. It

593
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:03.960
might have something to do with it. It may well

594
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:11.559
do it might be an analogy for their experience, so

595
00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:15.360
you know, it's it's I used to really I used

596
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.719
to Here's what I used to do when I was

597
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:25.440
a counselor. I used to be real. I don't understand people.

598
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:31.400
I don't pretend that I understand people, so I ask.

599
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:34.760
So the only way I can understand someone is by

600
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:41.039
asking them questions, spending time with them, and genuinely asking

601
00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:45.679
them what's going on in your mind. I can't mind read.

602
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.679
I don't pretend to be able to mind read. I

603
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:54.440
don't know what someone's thinking by their facial expressions. I

604
00:45:54.480 --> 00:46:01.079
can kind of guess, but I will ask, but even

605
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:03.519
then I still don't know if it's true, because people

606
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.639
sometimes people don't even seem to know themselves what they're

607
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.079
thinking or what they're feeling. So that's that was the

608
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.559
way I kind of approached counseling. I didn't go I

609
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.960
had the knowledge. You know, I studied, I had a degree,

610
00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:20.599
and you know, I had a lot of background in

611
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:25.239
studying for for fun, psychology and stuff like that, and

612
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.960
also the hypnosis background, and a lot of that is

613
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:38.400
based in psychology and therapy. But I didn't go into

614
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:44.679
the session thinking oh, I was an expert on the

615
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:50.719
human condition. I never had that. I didn't even for me.

616
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:54.679
It wasn't about other people. It was just about that

617
00:46:54.760 --> 00:47:02.159
one person. It wasn't about were would the way that

618
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:05.440
they were acting was it fitting in with a specific

619
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:11.199
behavioral criteria you know that fits in that that's kind

620
00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:15.159
of explains the actions, like, Okay, they're doing this, doing that,

621
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:18.360
doing that. Therefore they are this because other people that

622
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:22.239
do that, that that that are this. I just take

623
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:25.280
them as they were. I wasn't there to diagnose. I'm

624
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:33.079
not a doctor, not yet anyway. Oh anyway, but my

625
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.159
how was a distraction itself. Was that I'm talking about

626
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:46.440
distractions and then I avoidance. I so my neighbor in

627
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.519
the hospital, he said, are you trying to distract me

628
00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:53.000
from talking about that thing? But it already he told

629
00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.280
a story three times so at this point kind of

630
00:47:56.719 --> 00:48:02.360
to three different people, and I'll say, no, I'm just

631
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:09.840
trying to get you to focus on now and how

632
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:16.760
you are, which is the reason I'm visiting you. And

633
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.679
that didn't go down very well. I mean, perhaps that

634
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:23.519
wasn't I didn't mean it harshly. I just it's the truth.

635
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:27.920
I'm visited him. I'm visiting him because of I want

636
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:29.519
to know how he is. I want to know what

637
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.800
he's feeling. And technically it's none of my business how

638
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:36.840
he is or how he's feeling, so I can see

639
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:40.400
that side as well. But earlier in the week he

640
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.440
was opening up and he's sort of closed down again.

641
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:51.800
This is weird. I don't know. I just I mean,

642
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:58.239
my counseling skills are probably pretty much disappeared because I

643
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:04.159
haven't been a counselor for a long time. But I

644
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:12.000
can listen if someone is talking about something real. I

645
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:15.719
really I find it. I see. I don't get bored

646
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:24.519
with real stuff, like a real conversation about real things,

647
00:49:24.559 --> 00:49:26.519
you know, feelings and how do I feel about this?

648
00:49:26.679 --> 00:49:34.280
And opinions? Less interested in that because he did say

649
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.679
something about, oh, do you do you feel educated now?

650
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.360
Because he was talking about politics, I said, what do

651
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:41.840
you mean? So you look you learned something new, haven't you.

652
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.840
I said, well, I've learned what your opinion is on

653
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:51.400
that subject. That's probably nothing that annoyed him. Actually, I said,

654
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:55.559
it's just opinions. It's not a fact. These aren't facts,

655
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:59.119
it's just what you believe. You you're on one side

656
00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:02.840
of the fence. You believe this about your political party,

657
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:13.239
and and it's really just that's an opinion. And it

658
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.559
was because he's got a degree in politics. He's like, no,

659
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.840
it's not an agree, it's not just an opinion. It's true.

660
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:21.400
And he was saying, I can teach you, I can

661
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:24.079
teach you about politics. I said, well, I got my

662
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.519
own interests. Besides, I do know a little bit about politics.

663
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:31.920
I do, you know, I've not been I'm not completely

664
00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:37.920
oblivious to what's going on in politics. I go through

665
00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:40.119
piers when I'm really interested in it, and then i'm not.

666
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:52.239
But he we were talking about how one one political

667
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:56.960
party always goes on about the other political party and

668
00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:59.119
what they did last time there was in power, and

669
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.480
however it's their their fault that the place is like

670
00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:06.280
it is now. And I just said to him, that's

671
00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:11.840
human that the tapping into the human nature. It's human

672
00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:15.639
nature to blame others, to want to blame other people.

673
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:21.119
It's just a natural human instinct. So the politicians are

674
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:27.039
just tapping into that. It's I mean, I don't know

675
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:31.400
if it's a natural human instinct all around the world,

676
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:34.239
but I'm pretty safe to say. I feel safe to

677
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:39.239
say it's a national and it's a national pastimes. It

678
00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:42.840
seems to be a natural instinct in this country too.

679
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.000
I'm not saying everyone does it and everyone does it

680
00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.199
all the time, but in a kind of majority way,

681
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.760
it seems to be. I love blaming other people. I

682
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.039
try not to, but it's just or blaming the weather,

683
00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:02.880
or blaming the blaming as she seems to be almost

684
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:10.800
like inherited when you're born in this country. I mean

685
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:13.480
it might be. I'm guessing it's not an English thing.

686
00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:20.079
I'm pretty sure it's a worldwide thing. Anyway, I annoyed him,

687
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.800
That's what I was just trying to say, and Zoe

688
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:32.679
called me, so I got no idea what I was

689
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.599
really saying there, to be honest.

690
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.960
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

691
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:49.639
So I saw just now before I started doing this,

692
00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:52.599
I had to go around. I saw my neighbor to

693
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:56.159
discuss her give me a lift, And then I saw

694
00:52:56.320 --> 00:53:04.559
Archie's mum and I haven't seen her all week. I

695
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:07.880
told her about the situation and she offered four Vinnie

696
00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:11.360
to stay there tomorrow because she's got a day off,

697
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:15.880
so she said they could. Archie could be where because

698
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:19.360
there's two dogs. There's Archie and another dog that's there,

699
00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:24.559
and Vinnie like he likes both of them. He loves Archie.

700
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:27.360
But they've got a garden, or she's got a garden.

701
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:29.920
So she said that you can fig him around and

702
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:33.159
he can stay here. So what I did is I said, well,

703
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:37.599
I'll like brilliant so instead of him being on his own,

704
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:40.840
so I'm going to take him around at ten o'clock

705
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:45.639
tomorrow and she lives up the opposite the person that's

706
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:49.599
going to give me a lift, and then I'll try

707
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:51.880
and get back, I think, and get back by two,

708
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:54.519
so I won't be able to spend a huge amount

709
00:53:54.519 --> 00:53:59.000
of time at the hospital because hopefully i'll get there

710
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.800
by eleven and I might have to leave at one.

711
00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:04.679
But it's still two hours better than no hours, isn't it.

712
00:54:08.960 --> 00:54:13.159
But it's still has like four hours of the neighbor

713
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:17.079
looking after him after looking after Vinnie, and he's never

714
00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:19.880
been to her house. So what I'm going to do,

715
00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:22.400
I'm going to give her my key to my flat

716
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:26.199
and she knows where I live, so I'll just say

717
00:54:26.199 --> 00:54:31.920
that if he's being an absolute I don't know if

718
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:36.039
he's been really really naughty then you're welcome just to

719
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:39.559
bring him back and just stick him in the flat.

720
00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:46.800
You know, that's fine, because who knows he's He's never ever, never, ever,

721
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:52.159
ever ever ever since I've had him, since i've had him,

722
00:54:52.679 --> 00:54:58.079
he's never stayed around a stranger's house before. I mean,

723
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:01.800
this person's not a stranger when it's so. I've seen

724
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.679
her for the last two two and a half years

725
00:55:05.199 --> 00:55:11.480
walking Vinnie, so, but he's never he's never been. There's

726
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:15.159
a video of him and Archie on YouTube, but they're

727
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:21.760
never Actually, he's never stayed over and he's never really

728
00:55:21.800 --> 00:55:26.559
he's not stayed with anyone other than his former mum

729
00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:28.719
like that he used to live with. He stayed with

730
00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:33.639
her a few times. So this is different. So I

731
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:35.400
don't know how. I don't know if he's going to

732
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:38.079
behave I don't know if he's going to be a good boy.

733
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:42.320
I hope he will be. I think he'll love it personally.

734
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:47.239
I think he'll absolutely love it. Because but then there's

735
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:51.440
one thing walking and playing around and stuff with Archie.

736
00:55:51.599 --> 00:55:56.039
But there's another thing. Will he try and take control

737
00:55:56.079 --> 00:55:58.039
of being in the garden, Will he be naughty? Will

738
00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:01.079
he try and escape from the garden, that's the thing.

739
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.119
And if he does, I'm not going to be around

740
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:08.199
to look for him. I just I hope, I hope, hope,

741
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:14.360
hope that he behaves. But you know what this is more,

742
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:18.360
this is going to be good for him because he

743
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:22.280
hasn't had a chance to run around with any dogs

744
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:30.239
off the lead for or since September really and now June.

745
00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:35.119
So and they've got a big garden so for him

746
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:37.920
to run around. Actually that's not true. He did run

747
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:41.440
around another neighbor's house who's got a dog, but that

748
00:56:41.559 --> 00:56:44.760
was a few Sundays ago. That was very brief though,

749
00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:48.639
and he did run out of the front door, so

750
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:52.000
that wasn't so good. So I'll make sure. I'll just

751
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:53.800
let her know don't open the front door because he

752
00:56:53.840 --> 00:57:00.760
will try and escape. He's so naughty, and because he

753
00:57:00.880 --> 00:57:02.840
knows where we are, he might try and run home

754
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:07.159
thinking I'm there. Well though I don't think he really.

755
00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:12.280
I don't think he would, but I kind of think

756
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:16.360
of it the if you toss it up in a

757
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:21.960
sense of if I take him to the guard, I'll

758
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:27.480
take him thet neighbors to play in the garden. It's

759
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:32.159
like a ninety nine percent positive thing, possibly one hundred

760
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:35.199
percent positive thing, because he's getting to do what he

761
00:57:35.239 --> 00:57:37.320
wants to do, which is running around with his friend,

762
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:43.079
his best friend, Archie and Noodles. They're his two best friends,

763
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:46.119
and he can't run around with ether of them anymore.

764
00:57:47.599 --> 00:57:50.960
Off the lead. Noodles is the dog that he got

765
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.639
into trouble with at the same time, and they're very

766
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:57.039
naughty when they get together. They kind of lead each

767
00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:05.320
other astray a little bit, Archie less so, but still

768
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:09.360
I've seen there's been a few dogs that if they

769
00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:12.000
run out of the out of the park venue, will

770
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:17.440
just follow. So there's that thing, you know, It's happened

771
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:19.920
a few times over the years. I should have learned

772
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:25.079
from it, really, but I just I so wanted him

773
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:30.119
to be able to have that freedom, and he's so happy.

774
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:33.960
I can see how happy he is when he's running

775
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.800
around with his doggie friends. And he's got a few

776
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:41.480
dog friends that he really likes. But I think Archie

777
00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.880
and Noodles there like at the top of the pack

778
00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:50.039
of because they're both little, and they're both kind of

779
00:58:50.199 --> 00:58:54.039
all both got the same kind of energy as him,

780
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:57.639
and about the same same age really as well. So yeah,

781
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:01.239
they kind of. Yeah, they've got a definite body like

782
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.199
instant bond they had and they've known each other for

783
00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:09.880
what a couple of years. I don't know how Yeah,

784
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:12.920
probably a couple of years. Both of them actually noodles

785
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:16.480
an Archie. I think Archie was first. I tell you

786
00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:20.920
something about Archie. This is weird. Archie's a proper fascist. No,

787
00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:26.239
he's not Archie. He's got questionable political No, I do

788
00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:35.719
what I'm saying. That doesn't click stamps either. Archie I

789
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.400
used to see so I'd see Archie in the evening,

790
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:42.360
like six I don't wait a time that his mom

791
00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:46.360
would be walking in with the two dogs. And once

792
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:49.679
I said to this lady, the one the neighbor, I said,

793
00:59:49.719 --> 00:59:53.360
you know what, he's got another friend. It looks just

794
00:59:53.440 --> 01:00:00.239
like Archie. And they they don't run around. But because

795
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:02.599
he was always on the lead, but we see him

796
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.639
during the day. This is this, This is form about

797
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:08.800
a year and I was saying to her, and he's

798
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:14.519
got another friend. And after I don't know if it's

799
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:17.360
a year, maybe nearly a year, it turned out as

800
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:25.639
the same dog. And it was different because it was

801
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:29.039
her mum was taking the dog out or taking Archie

802
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:31.960
out during the day, and I said to her, and

803
01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:34.519
we were talking, I said, you know what, he's got

804
01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:38.000
a friend just like that one. Because I didn't see

805
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:39.760
her that often. I saw the other one in the

806
01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:42.519
evenings fairly regular the one during the day I didn't

807
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:50.000
see very often. And she said, this is Archie. I said,

808
01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:53.199
I can't believe you've got two dogs with the same name,

809
01:00:53.599 --> 01:01:02.599
the same kind of dogs. And she said, oh, okay,

810
01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:05.880
and then I said goodbye to her. Then I said

811
01:01:05.880 --> 01:01:08.760
the same thing to the lady in the evening. I said,

812
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:10.760
there's another woman. You know. I told you that the

813
01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:14.719
woman has got a dog that's just like Archie. His

814
01:01:14.800 --> 01:01:20.039
name's also Archie. And she looked at me like, I

815
01:01:20.039 --> 01:01:22.519
think she must have thought I was a bit dim

816
01:01:25.480 --> 01:01:31.639
or I was like joking around or something. She said, really,

817
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:35.719
I said, yeah, it's the same. She still mentions it now, like,

818
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:37.559
how can you not know that there was the same

819
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.480
dog for a year. Vinnie was playing the same dog,

820
01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:44.800
the same name for a year, two different dogs, but

821
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:49.519
it's one dog. I don't know. There's so many names,

822
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:54.320
I don't keep track, but it's only Archie. In the

823
01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:57.320
arch the evening, Archie, I know both of them were Archie,

824
01:01:57.320 --> 01:02:00.159
but the afternoon. Archie never used to run around with

825
01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:03.519
any It's always on the lead. But even in Archie

826
01:02:03.880 --> 01:02:08.079
is to run around, so I kind of learned his

827
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:24.360
name a bit. It's weird, right, Yeah. I am going

828
01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:28.199
to do a Q and A Friday this week. Now.

829
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:33.079
Whether I do it Friday or I do it Saturday, oh,

830
01:02:33.639 --> 01:02:38.440
I know, I'm definitely not going to. I'm not going to.

831
01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:42.119
I'm not going to the hospital on Sunday because the

832
01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:46.360
buses are just ridiculous. They're like every two hours if

833
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:49.960
at all, So I'm not I'm not traveling on Sunday,

834
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:54.519
so I won't be going there on a Sunday. I'm

835
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:59.840
there tomorrow. What I might do is maybe take Friday

836
01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:02.920
or off, or go Friday and have the weekend off.

837
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:07.639
And if his other friend, because he's got someone else

838
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:11.199
visiting him now, is going to go and see him

839
01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:13.079
at the weekend, and that can kind of do that.

840
01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:17.840
I do really don't know. I'll play it by I'll

841
01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:19.920
play it by ear or by eye or buy foot

842
01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:24.679
or whatever. I'll just see what happens, you know. But

843
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:26.800
I'm going to do a Q and A Friday this week.

844
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:39.119
Oh wow, So I did post a recording two days ago. Hi,

845
01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:40.840
or I might not be able to make a recording

846
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:43.119
this week because I'm back and forward to a hospital.

847
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:46.719
So I posted that. I have had some comments, but

848
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:49.679
I didn't have time to really reply to them. So

849
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:51.639
I'm going to reply to them now. I'm going to

850
01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:56.039
read them out and I'm going to reply to them now. Unfortunately,

851
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:57.960
some people listen to this and might have just fallen

852
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:02.119
asleep through boredom, which is a bit of food. But hey,

853
01:04:03.119 --> 01:04:06.119
Christine writes, hope you and your neighbor feel a bit

854
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:09.559
better soon. We'll all be here when you feel well enough.

855
01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:12.199
Take care and thank you for taking the time to

856
01:04:12.280 --> 01:04:18.480
let us know. So thank you, Christine. I didn't after

857
01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:25.920
the Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. By the end of Monday,

858
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:29.960
I really just I didn't think I could be making

859
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:34.320
any recordings. But then yesterday, for some reason, I just

860
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:41.119
felt okay to do one. So I'm just gonna Oh,

861
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:47.440
it really is time to go to sleep soon. I

862
01:04:47.480 --> 01:04:53.079
don't know what time it is. It's probably about seven o'clock. Okay,

863
01:04:53.199 --> 01:04:57.639
it's twenty to eight. Hope wrote take care of you.

864
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:02.239
I hope your neghbor get better soon, Thank you, Thank you. Hope.

865
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:05.920
So I put a love heart there as well. Just so,

866
01:05:06.920 --> 01:05:08.760
why does it not allow me to look up the

867
01:05:09.440 --> 01:05:17.400
that's weird? There it's go. Maria writes, take care of yourself, Jason.

868
01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:21.400
I hope your neighbor makes a full recovery soon. Thanks

869
01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:28.920
for letting us know. Thank you, Maria. Why is this

870
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:33.760
not working? Okay? There we go? I just wanted to

871
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:39.360
know that I have READID messages. I just haven't. I

872
01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:44.480
was reading them in the hospital actually, and Tammy writes,

873
01:05:45.880 --> 01:05:54.320
we so well for me? What does that say? We

874
01:05:54.519 --> 01:06:05.159
so well for me? Email going out for health and safety? Okay,

875
01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:10.960
I'm not sure what that means. I'm I think my

876
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:14.639
brain's going a little bit slow today. Sorry, but thanks

877
01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:21.000
to your message, I'm not ni knee mail going out

878
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:26.360
for health and safety. That probably makes sense, but it's

879
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:30.679
not my brain. Honestly. I'm just I'm not on full

880
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:39.480
full capacity at the moment. Ah. But saying that, I'm

881
01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:45.000
not sure if I've ever been on full capacity. Jackie writes, yeah,

882
01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:48.280
I can imagine neckering indeed, But you know something you

883
01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:52.719
have to do. Good on your mate, don't stress in

884
01:06:52.760 --> 01:07:03.400
your own time. Best wishes to your neighbor. Thank you, Jackie. Yeah, yeah,

885
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:07.800
it's been an accurate I think part of it is

886
01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:12.840
because I'm just not used to being around people, and

887
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:16.159
I'm seeing more people in a day now than I

888
01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:25.119
would do for a whole year, way more. Yeah, yeah,

889
01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:27.840
more than I would do in a whole year, because

890
01:07:27.840 --> 01:07:31.920
there's literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon thousands of

891
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:37.039
people that I'm seeing outside the hospital, inside the hospital,

892
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:41.599
walking through the wards. It's just thousands of people. So

893
01:07:41.639 --> 01:07:45.760
it's a little bit overload, I think, which is okay,

894
01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:50.000
I know what it is. Yeah, it's all right, It's

895
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:54.920
just it is what it is. Ing says specialist switches

896
01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:56.920
to your neighbor. Take care of yourself and take a

897
01:07:56.960 --> 01:08:00.000
break for as long as you need to. Thank you.

898
01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:06.559
It's one of those situations. I'm going to while he's

899
01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:09.199
in there. I can't. I'm going to make recordings when

900
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:12.719
I can, and I'm not going to push myself to

901
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:15.360
do anything really, but it's just going to I do

902
01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:18.880
them when I feel up to it, and it's just tiredness,

903
01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:23.680
that's all it is. Really. It's not anything else. Maybe

904
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:27.159
a little bit more, but you know, it's just mainly tiredness.

905
01:08:27.239 --> 01:08:38.760
So I it's just it's disrupted my routine, but you

906
01:08:38.800 --> 01:08:47.920
know what, it's disrupted his routine as well, and so

907
01:08:48.119 --> 01:08:51.079
my routine is not really that important right now. So

908
01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:55.279
it's okay, as long as I don't want to go

909
01:08:55.399 --> 01:08:58.359
like long periods of time without making a recording, because

910
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:03.680
as it is, if I go, well, i'll tell you actually,

911
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:08.680
I'll come back to this in a minute. Here's here's

912
01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:11.880
how the stats go. Okay, so what is it now?

913
01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:22.399
It's Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday, Friday. Okay, so Thursday

914
01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:28.439
two one hundred and thirty six two, one hundred and

915
01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:36.640
fifty three downloads, Saturday Friday one thousand, seven hundred and

916
01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:47.560
ninety five downloads. Friday seven hundred and four downloads, Saturday

917
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:51.239
five hundred and forty, five hundred and forty one downloads,

918
01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:58.840
Sunday three hundred and fifty downloads. That's not right, Wednesday.

919
01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:02.079
So I've got five hundred and fifty today so far,

920
01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:06.920
but two hundred and twenty seven yesterday. Two hundred and

921
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:13.000
twenty seven is the amount I'll be getting. I mean,

922
01:10:13.199 --> 01:10:17.159
that would be bad ten years ago. In a day

923
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:18.880
two hundred and two as like one of the worst

924
01:10:18.960 --> 01:10:22.279
days I could ever have because I've not been making

925
01:10:22.359 --> 01:10:31.239
new recordings. So Tuesday Monday three hundred and fifty listens.

926
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:35.560
These downloads are listens, So three hundred is ridiculously low,

927
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:43.119
really low. So Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday five hundred and

928
01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:51.720
forty one, Saturday seven hundred and four. It's just gone down.

929
01:10:52.319 --> 01:10:54.680
I mean today, I did do a recording this morning

930
01:10:54.880 --> 01:11:00.000
or last night. I uploaded it this morning, so it's

931
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:06.159
a rise, but it's still a small amount, which is

932
01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:10.439
kind of weird how I mean, yeah, I was making

933
01:11:10.800 --> 01:11:15.720
like two plus recordings a day last week or the

934
01:11:15.720 --> 01:11:21.039
week before, I can't remember. But the weird thing about

935
01:11:21.039 --> 01:11:28.560
it is, I it's a little bit like sales you

936
01:11:28.640 --> 01:11:32.960
run as good as your last sale, or in sports,

937
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:35.239
you run as good as your last football game, or

938
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:37.680
you are you know, it's only only as good as

939
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:42.640
your last performance, which is come on, which is seems

940
01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:52.119
a bit harsh. But it seems that we're podcasting. As

941
01:11:52.159 --> 01:11:56.439
soon as I stopped making recordings, people stopped listening, not

942
01:11:56.439 --> 01:12:02.760
not completely, but I I don't like seeing, you know,

943
01:12:02.840 --> 01:12:09.600
like yesterday two hundred and twenty seven downloads, so that's

944
01:12:09.600 --> 01:12:14.359
two hundred and twenty seven plays. Admittedly a lot of

945
01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.680
those would be ten hour recordings, so that's just one person.

946
01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:23.800
They're not like listening to multiple recordings, and hopefully a

947
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:28.479
couple of people have found it useful. But to go

948
01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:33.399
from two thousand plus down to two hundred and twenty seven,

949
01:12:33.439 --> 01:12:37.800
it's a bit of a I mean, if the weird

950
01:12:37.800 --> 01:12:40.039
thing is I've only just looked at the stats. Now,

951
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:42.000
I didn't look at this. I've not looked at the

952
01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:49.479
stats for probably a few days. I've not really taken

953
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:51.279
much notice of the stats because I knew it was

954
01:12:51.279 --> 01:12:55.039
going to go down, because it always does. It's weird though,

955
01:12:55.039 --> 01:12:58.720
because sometimes then it just shoots up and I get

956
01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:04.199
like three four thousand in a day. Is strange the

957
01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:09.039
way it goes. But I know this. That's part of

958
01:13:09.039 --> 01:13:11.680
the reason why I don't go too many days without

959
01:13:11.720 --> 01:13:16.680
making a recording, because it's almost like people just forget

960
01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:27.439
about me or forget about the podcast. Rather we start crying.

961
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:34.199
Don't make me cry. You wouldn't like me want to cry. Yeah, So,

962
01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:39.439
I mean it's still well, it's near the end of

963
01:13:39.479 --> 01:13:43.600
the day, really, isn't It's ten to eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Wells,

964
01:13:43.640 --> 01:13:46.880
it's five hours left of the stats because it goes

965
01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:50.479
to one o'clock in the morning for some reason. So

966
01:13:51.239 --> 01:13:53.960
you know, I'll probably end up with maybe seven hundred

967
01:13:54.000 --> 01:14:00.920
eight hundred. It's still just such a small amount when

968
01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:05.039
you think about it, when you think compared comparisons aren't

969
01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:13.119
always use so are they in two thousand and twenty one,

970
01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:24.079
twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty one. Yeah,

971
01:14:24.119 --> 01:14:30.199
it was twenty twenty one. I think I had one month, Well,

972
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:33.319
it might have been twenty twenty. Maybe it was December.

973
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:40.560
I had over nine hundred thousand views in one month,

974
01:14:44.000 --> 01:14:47.239
just under Yeah, it's just under a million. Let me

975
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:50.880
see if I can find it. Seriously, you think I'm lying.

976
01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:54.039
I'm not lying. I'm not. I'm not. I can find

977
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:57.079
it for you. Let me have a look. So let's

978
01:14:57.079 --> 01:15:00.359
go for the dates I was five year years ago.

979
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:04.920
Isn't it? Oh no, it won't allow it. It will

980
01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:13.359
not allow it. It won't allow it. Why won't allow it? Damn? Okay,

981
01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:17.960
let me see if I can find it a different way.

982
01:15:18.960 --> 01:15:29.359
There's all these different ways of finding stuff. No, how

983
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:39.039
annoying you're annoying. I wonder if there's stat's for that.

984
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:46.000
If I go back, Okay, there's another way of doing it.

985
01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:57.199
Let me look December twenty twenty? Did did did do?

986
01:15:57.319 --> 01:16:01.800
December two? Than? Oh no, wait a minute, December twenty

987
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:12.920
twenty to December twenty twenty. Right, this doesn't seem to

988
01:16:12.960 --> 01:16:17.079
be working very well December. So I go that there,

989
01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:35.000
December twoy twenty Okay, December twenty twenty. So, no, that

990
01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:40.640
was not the month. But it was a very very

991
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:44.039
busy month, it really was. But it was not the

992
01:16:44.079 --> 01:16:49.479
month at all that I'm thinking about. So maybe it's

993
01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:57.279
January twenty twenty one. Might have been January twenty twenty one. No,

994
01:16:59.399 --> 01:17:05.199
maybe it's two twenty two. Maybe it's December twenty twenty two.

995
01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:10.760
Maybe I'm just completely getting it all wrong. Maybe it's

996
01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:14.439
two did I say to Maybe it's two thousand and

997
01:17:14.520 --> 01:17:20.560
twenty one December? Yeah, that must be the one that

998
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:26.880
makes more sense. Actually, for some reason, that's the one. Wow,

999
01:17:27.560 --> 01:17:31.840
that was the biggest month I ever had, and I

1000
01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:39.199
had just under I've not got the exact number because

1001
01:17:39.239 --> 01:17:46.680
it won't give it to me. Twelfth of December was

1002
01:17:46.840 --> 01:17:54.199
the biggest day I had I had something like seventy

1003
01:17:54.600 --> 01:18:01.079
over seventy thousand listens or downloads on that day, and

1004
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:05.720
overall I had nearly a million downloads for the whole

1005
01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:18.640
month of December twoenty twenty one, and then it changed.

1006
01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:23.319
It went a little bit. Yeah, it kind of it's

1007
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:28.640
not that the bubble, the bubble didn't burst, but the

1008
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:35.239
downloads pretty much half. I think the most I got

1009
01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:39.880
was about thirty maybe thirty five thousand in one day,

1010
01:18:40.199 --> 01:18:43.520
and again that was was that on the twelfth, that

1011
01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:46.199
was the tenth, don't know what it is about the

1012
01:18:46.279 --> 01:18:51.199
tenth and the twelfth, so that went down to like half,

1013
01:18:54.720 --> 01:19:02.760
and then the February twenty twenty two, again it's starting

1014
01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:06.439
to go down. I had a couple of days that

1015
01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:11.239
were above about forty thousand, but it's a lot less.

1016
01:19:11.479 --> 01:19:17.199
It was looking roughly about six hundred thousand on that month,

1017
01:19:21.239 --> 01:19:29.399
and then March it's going down, so looking at like

1018
01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:39.560
twenty seven thousand a day, twenty thousand, seventeen thousand, things

1019
01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:45.319
like that. So I ended up probably getting probably about

1020
01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:49.840
it's hard to work out, maybe four hundred thousand for

1021
01:19:49.920 --> 01:20:02.800
the month. And then April twenty twenty two, it was, yeah,

1022
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:06.600
went down even further then, so I was roughly probably

1023
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:12.359
getting about fifteen thousand a month a day rather fourteen thousand,

1024
01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:18.720
eleven twelve, you know, varying, so looking probably about three hundred,

1025
01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:22.279
between two hundred and fifty and three hundred thousand for

1026
01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:27.880
the month. Then May twenty twenty two, it just shows

1027
01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:32.119
you how different it is now, you know, it's and

1028
01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:37.439
it goes down again. I'm getting Yeah, it's not too bad.

1029
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:43.439
So roughly eleven twelve a few days which were so

1030
01:20:43.479 --> 01:20:48.239
probably about twelve thousand, ten to twelve thousand a month

1031
01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:52.680
a day rather, so for a while, ten thousand was

1032
01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:55.840
kind of the optimum amount that I would get in

1033
01:20:55.880 --> 01:20:59.520
a day. I kind of got used to it. This

1034
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:02.159
is before I lost my podcast, by the way, because

1035
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:06.920
they had music and they took them off. I actually

1036
01:21:07.000 --> 01:21:13.399
lost the podcast. I had to start again. And then

1037
01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:19.600
we've got June twenty twenty two. It's a lot less,

1038
01:21:19.680 --> 01:21:23.079
about about two hundred thousand, maybe a lot less than that.

1039
01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:27.720
So I'm getting probably roughly about seven seven thousand a day,

1040
01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:33.680
sometimes a little bit more, but it's still, you know,

1041
01:21:33.840 --> 01:21:40.399
still a nice amount. And then July twenty twenty four,

1042
01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:45.680
for some reason, the summer is quieter than the winter

1043
01:21:46.920 --> 01:21:51.359
with podcasting for me anyway, and probably because there's more

1044
01:21:51.399 --> 01:21:55.319
to do. You know, it's lighter, it's more more daylight,

1045
01:21:55.479 --> 01:22:00.760
more things to do than when it's this rain. And

1046
01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:05.319
you know, maybe maybe I don't know, I had some

1047
01:22:06.119 --> 01:22:08.000
this was an okay man. So I probably had about

1048
01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:15.359
two hundred thousand possibly and a few really good days

1049
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:20.560
where I had like maybe thirteen to fifteen thousand a day,

1050
01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:23.680
but a few other days where I was getting maybe

1051
01:22:23.760 --> 01:22:27.880
four thousand. So back then four thousands and four thousand

1052
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:30.960
was a really bad day. It was a really low day.

1053
01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:37.960
Anything pretty much below three thousand was really I suppose

1054
01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:41.159
really anything below five thousand was classed is quite a

1055
01:22:41.239 --> 01:22:48.680
bad day. Really back then then you got August twenty

1056
01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:53.760
twenty two that was starting to get busier again, which

1057
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:58.399
is weird. So we're looking probably about three hundred thousand

1058
01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:03.279
a few days when it was less than four thousand.

1059
01:23:04.319 --> 01:23:09.199
But yeah, it's hard to it might it might be

1060
01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:13.479
less than three hundred thousand. Again, I'm just guessing. I'm

1061
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:16.640
looking at the stats, but it's it's quite difficult from

1062
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:20.279
what I'm looking at. But it's it's like a guess, really,

1063
01:23:22.079 --> 01:23:26.279
an educated guess. Then the next month I can just

1064
01:23:26.319 --> 01:23:28.319
see like from a pie chart, if that makes sense.

1065
01:23:28.800 --> 01:23:34.760
So it's a lot less again in September twenty twenty two,

1066
01:23:36.880 --> 01:23:40.359
and yeah, so it builds up near the end of

1067
01:23:40.359 --> 01:23:44.600
the month, and then at some point I don't think

1068
01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:54.600
it's October, things go poopool oh not yet, so October

1069
01:23:54.640 --> 01:24:00.279
it's still okay, but all no, So October that's when

1070
01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:02.720
it went. Yeah, when it went kind of wrong and

1071
01:24:02.800 --> 01:24:08.119
I had to start I think over again. And because

1072
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:10.479
I was uploading so much stuff, I was getting a

1073
01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:14.720
lot of downloads, because I was uploading the whole lot again.

1074
01:24:18.680 --> 01:24:24.159
But yeah, it wasn't I was probably getting one hundred

1075
01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:31.920
thousand probably in that month. And then November twoy twenty

1076
01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:35.079
two so of grew a little bit more. So the

1077
01:24:35.119 --> 01:24:39.359
winter is always a bit busier. I mean, even if

1078
01:24:39.359 --> 01:24:48.039
I look at this stats from last year, the I'm

1079
01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:53.640
pretty sure like December November, December kind of time is

1080
01:24:54.000 --> 01:24:59.880
generally a lot busier. So if I go November last year, no,

1081
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:09.399
November last year, no, not particularly. But actually the reason

1082
01:25:09.399 --> 01:25:12.159
for that is because I was using SoundCloud for half

1083
01:25:12.199 --> 01:25:16.640
the month, but the days when I was on using

1084
01:25:16.920 --> 01:25:30.239
Speaker I was getting pretty good days December December, right,

1085
01:25:31.119 --> 01:25:36.000
only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

1086
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:39.920
Only twelve days of December did I have my podcast

1087
01:25:40.039 --> 01:25:42.960
on here. But at the same time, the rest of

1088
01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:46.159
the month I had on SoundCloud. So that's not a

1089
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:49.000
good example of a day. I wonder why that was.

1090
01:25:50.199 --> 01:25:52.039
Is that when they said we could have music again.

1091
01:25:52.199 --> 01:25:58.319
Was that another one of those situations, because yeah, I've

1092
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:06.399
had a few problems with that jarnyery this year. Yeah,

1093
01:26:06.399 --> 01:26:09.720
that was a bit better. It's weird. It's up and down.

1094
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:12.640
To be fair, it's up and down. I think the

1095
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:19.279
inconsistency when it came to losing the podcasts and maybe

1096
01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:21.000
some of the things that I do, you know, putting

1097
01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:25.199
it onto SoundCloud. Then it's back on to speaker. Although

1098
01:26:25.239 --> 01:26:28.960
it doesn't really make a huge difference to the podcast

1099
01:26:29.520 --> 01:26:34.479
because it's still available on the same places. It's probably

1100
01:26:34.800 --> 01:26:39.800
a little bit yeah, you know, maybe it doesn't. It's

1101
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:45.640
not good hope, right, I hope your neighbors. How is

1102
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:48.439
your neighbor doing? So I'm just going to put love

1103
01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:53.680
because I've talked about it in this podcast. So Rick says,

1104
01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:56.319
sending love and good vibes to your neighbor. How nice

1105
01:26:56.840 --> 01:27:00.600
of you to support her. Just let it it's a man.

1106
01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:04.079
I've not mentioned who it is. It's a man. It

1107
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:07.479
doesn't make any difference, a man or woman. I call

1108
01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:11.520
him her he It makes no difference to me, And

1109
01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:16.560
just let you know. So it's he's a seventy eight

1110
01:27:18.439 --> 01:27:31.119
in about what's it now? He's seventy eight years old. Wednesday?

1111
01:27:32.279 --> 01:27:35.760
So not next Wednesday, next Friday, he will be seventy

1112
01:27:35.800 --> 01:27:43.880
eight years old, not this Friday. Coming. Wow, can you

1113
01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:48.399
believe right? It's near the end of June. It's near

1114
01:27:48.439 --> 01:27:51.479
the end of June. It's nearly the end of June.

1115
01:27:52.159 --> 01:28:00.079
It's weird. I mean, the first of July is on Tuesday.

1116
01:28:02.039 --> 01:28:05.359
I just I don't know. I don't know why. Why

1117
01:28:05.439 --> 01:28:10.560
am I surprised? This is just normal, isn't it. So?

1118
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:21.279
I think I've answered. I've read out these questions, these things,

1119
01:28:22.319 --> 01:28:25.319
so thank you very much. If I haven't read them

1120
01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:32.159
all out, I'm sorry, I'm just scrolling through. So my

1121
01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:38.439
website is back. However, however, there's a bit of an

1122
01:28:38.479 --> 01:28:42.039
issue because they've because I did delete it, they're allowed

1123
01:28:42.039 --> 01:28:47.079
for it to come back, but some of it is

1124
01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.680
not how it should be. I haven't got time to

1125
01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:53.399
work on it at the moment, but I will get

1126
01:28:53.399 --> 01:28:59.359
it sorted. I promise I will. It's just going to

1127
01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:02.800
take a little while. Well, I don't have the time

1128
01:29:02.840 --> 01:29:07.079
at the moment to work on the website, but as

1129
01:29:07.079 --> 01:29:10.000
soon as I've got the time, I will make those fixes.

1130
01:29:10.439 --> 01:29:13.760
I mean, at the moment, at the moment, it's working fine. Generally.

1131
01:29:14.479 --> 01:29:18.960
It's all the only playlists I've got without music. I

1132
01:29:19.079 --> 01:29:23.920
sorted that out so that it was obvious to see,

1133
01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:27.880
but it's put it back to how it was before.

1134
01:29:28.560 --> 01:29:30.880
So I'm not sure. I've not even had time to

1135
01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:36.319
really properly examine the website to make sure that everything works,

1136
01:29:36.960 --> 01:29:39.000
all the pages work, or the links work. I've not

1137
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:44.479
done any of that, and I hope it does. However,

1138
01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:49.479
if you do go to the website, there are let

1139
01:29:49.520 --> 01:30:01.880
me have a look right on my website. From all

1140
01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:05.439
the different podcasts that are on there, there's six thousand,

1141
01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:16.680
six hundred episodes. Okay, so there's twenty. There's sixty four podcasts,

1142
01:30:19.399 --> 01:30:23.760
one video channel, three blog posts. I don't know what

1143
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:26.039
that is. I know what blog post is, but I

1144
01:30:26.079 --> 01:30:29.439
don't know what I've done. It's a six thousand, six

1145
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:33.239
hundred and four always let me look click on that.

1146
01:30:33.319 --> 01:30:36.119
I wonder what's going to show me? Right, that's a

1147
01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:48.880
different podcasts on the summer. Look, I don't know how

1148
01:30:49.000 --> 01:31:04.840
many there are. Well, okay, so there's one hundred, one

1149
01:31:04.920 --> 01:31:11.079
hundred times by thirteen, so one thousand and three hundred episodes.

1150
01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:14.960
This does include the different you know, the ones with music,

1151
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:19.319
ones without music, ten hours, five hours. But there's one

1152
01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:25.079
three hundred recordings that you can actually scroll through on

1153
01:31:25.119 --> 01:31:32.760
the very first page of the website if you're willing

1154
01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:35.840
to kind of go through all that is because it's

1155
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:38.960
it takes a while, but you can also search for stuff.

1156
01:31:43.800 --> 01:31:49.199
So basically, if you go into the website, you've got one, two, three,

1157
01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:53.920
four different boxes at the top podcasts, playlists, podcast apps,

1158
01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:59.640
and contact. Then you've got two boxes below that, ones

1159
01:31:59.720 --> 01:32:04.279
for PayPal, the other ones join the Boring Jason Newland's

1160
01:32:04.279 --> 01:32:08.560
Boring group on Facebook. And then below that is the

1161
01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:17.439
latest recordings. So there's six versions of most recordings. If

1162
01:32:18.680 --> 01:32:23.319
for some reason, yes, sometimes I'll only do two recordings.

1163
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.319
So I did a deep sleep whisper and maybe it's

1164
01:32:26.319 --> 01:32:28.439
because it was a Sunday and I was busy, but

1165
01:32:28.479 --> 01:32:31.600
I just did two versions, one with music, one without.

1166
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:35.039
I think partly is because it was so such a

1167
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:42.000
low volume that I just it was just easier just

1168
01:32:42.039 --> 01:32:45.239
to do one with music one without, rather than editing

1169
01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:47.880
it five and ten hours, because I think it would

1170
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:49.520
have taken a while and I didn't really have the

1171
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.720
time to do it. But most of the recordings I

1172
01:32:54.840 --> 01:33:01.279
do there'll still be six versions, So there's quite a

1173
01:33:01.319 --> 01:33:05.279
few recordings I don't know. In fact, I don't know now,

1174
01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:07.279
but I can tell you how far it goes back

1175
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:11.960
because it's the pot the recorded. All the podcasts on

1176
01:33:12.039 --> 01:33:22.159
the first page are basically yeah, wow. According to this,

1177
01:33:22.199 --> 01:33:24.800
I've got one thousand, five hundred and ninety two episodes

1178
01:33:24.880 --> 01:33:29.960
on this podcast, which means I see if I can

1179
01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:31.600
skip down to the end and tell you when the

1180
01:33:31.600 --> 01:33:37.479
first one was, because it's not that far ago. It's

1181
01:33:37.520 --> 01:33:42.560
not it's not a long long time ago, long long

1182
01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:47.960
time ago. I can still remember when the music used

1183
01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:55.039
to make me smile by Bitter, be Right or April.

1184
01:33:58.319 --> 01:34:03.399
I do appreciate the night comments you've left. It's very

1185
01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:22.239
very extremely pleasant of you. And what other things, I'm

1186
01:34:22.239 --> 01:34:25.920
not sure if I'm up to date with SoundCloud. I

1187
01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:30.199
might be a little bit behind on that one. So

1188
01:34:30.319 --> 01:34:42.600
now February, I wonder how far back it goes. It's

1189
01:34:42.680 --> 01:34:45.560
going to be last year? And when did I get

1190
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:48.640
this for this website? When did I start building this version?

1191
01:34:50.279 --> 01:34:54.600
Was it last year? Oh? Yeah, I'm in December now,

1192
01:34:54.840 --> 01:35:04.319
last year December? Oh man, it might be two years worth. Maybe,

1193
01:35:04.600 --> 01:35:14.720
I don't know. I'm not sure, probably not because this

1194
01:35:14.840 --> 01:35:17.359
when I yeah, because I had to start the podcast again.

1195
01:35:17.399 --> 01:35:19.399
I think they got taken off because of the music,

1196
01:35:20.680 --> 01:35:25.039
and then they got brought back on again. More I

1197
01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:27.800
deleted the podcast and I had to restart it something

1198
01:35:27.880 --> 01:35:34.279
like that. I can't really remember exactly at the moment.

1199
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:38.960
So the very first recording that I did on this podcast,

1200
01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:42.600
which is my main podcast now other than They Let

1201
01:35:42.600 --> 01:35:51.720
Me Boy to Sleep, was ah, this, it's October eighth,

1202
01:35:51.840 --> 01:35:58.279
twenty twenty four. That's when this podcast was created. But

1203
01:35:58.319 --> 01:36:01.439
I've got recordings going back to twenty ninth of July

1204
01:36:01.760 --> 01:36:09.239
twenty twenty four. I can't even remember October last year.

1205
01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:15.359
So I don't know how I ended up starting this

1206
01:36:15.399 --> 01:36:19.479
new podcast or what happened to the old one. I

1207
01:36:19.560 --> 01:36:26.279
really don't know. Oh well, so there's a few recordings there.

1208
01:36:28.680 --> 01:36:35.640
I got another message. Okay, there's a few messages coming

1209
01:36:35.760 --> 01:36:46.760
for the Q and a Friday. There's two do do

1210
01:36:46.760 --> 01:36:48.800
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

1211
01:36:48.520 --> 01:36:55.239
Do Do Do Do Do do do do do do? Uh,

1212
01:36:57.479 --> 01:37:06.960
all right, I need to look up at something here. Hmm.

1213
01:37:07.279 --> 01:37:13.720
That's weird. That shouldn't happen now, I'm just looking at something.

1214
01:37:13.760 --> 01:37:37.880
I've just been optimized, right. I think I've just saw

1215
01:37:37.920 --> 01:37:42.479
it in an issue that I didn't know there was there.

1216
01:37:44.119 --> 01:37:48.159
So there's been a message. It's basically i'll read the

1217
01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:50.800
message out again at the time. But there was a

1218
01:37:50.800 --> 01:37:56.640
message about the podcast and adverts being played in the middle.

1219
01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:59.239
And there shouldn't be any adverts being played in the

1220
01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:02.319
middle of any pot casts ever in my opinion, but

1221
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:08.800
especially not mine, but apparently there were, and I've just

1222
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:10.960
sort of I've just seen the problem and I'm going

1223
01:38:11.000 --> 01:38:15.399
to sort out that problem. I can see what it is.

1224
01:38:16.560 --> 01:38:20.279
So I don't know why I think it just because

1225
01:38:20.279 --> 01:38:26.239
I've started these new podcasts for like playlists like one

1226
01:38:26.279 --> 01:38:29.079
to fifty and one hundred and one to one hundred

1227
01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:37.079
and fifty for four different podcasts. The there's a standard.

1228
01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:44.279
It automatically sets it to play adverts in the middle,

1229
01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:47.079
and I did not set it for that. It's basically

1230
01:38:47.159 --> 01:38:52.079
auto optimized ads on this podcast, so get rid of it.

1231
01:38:56.359 --> 01:39:01.760
That's weird sores. There shouldn't ever be adverts. If there's

1232
01:39:01.760 --> 01:39:03.560
everyone had a lot on YouTube? Is there any I

1233
01:39:03.600 --> 01:39:06.279
don't even have adverts on YouTube, But if there is,

1234
01:39:06.720 --> 01:39:15.920
it's YouTube. It's not me. It's YouTube. Because they banned

1235
01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:24.439
me and banned me from playing adverts because I think

1236
01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:31.319
I annoyed them. I don't know who I'm guessing. I'm

1237
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:33.239
not quite sure what it was, but they said no,

1238
01:39:33.359 --> 01:39:42.560
you can't have adverts, so well, oh well never mind.

1239
01:39:43.880 --> 01:39:47.000
So I will sort that out gradually over the next

1240
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:52.640
few days. But my plan, here's my plan, is to

1241
01:39:53.119 --> 01:40:02.479
if I go to back to my website, I will

1242
01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:09.920
with the playlists. Currently there's let Me Boys Sleep, ASMR,

1243
01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:16.079
Deep Sleep, Whisper Hypnosis, Relaxless Sleep, hypnosis daily, and Relaxation

1244
01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:20.920
for stress and panic attacks. So the let Me Boy

1245
01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:27.840
to Sleep is broken into without music, without music, with music,

1246
01:40:28.520 --> 01:40:32.319
five hours without music, five hours with music, ten hours

1247
01:40:32.319 --> 01:40:35.720
without music, ten hours with music. The only link that

1248
01:40:35.800 --> 01:40:39.760
works the image that works is one without music, and

1249
01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:43.520
then I've got broken up into fifty categories of fifty

1250
01:40:43.520 --> 01:40:47.119
one to fifty, fifty, one undred, one hundred, one hundred

1251
01:40:47.119 --> 01:40:49.279
and one hundred and fifty, et cetera, all the way

1252
01:40:49.359 --> 01:40:53.920
down two one thousand, three hundred and fifty one to

1253
01:40:53.960 --> 01:41:00.520
fourteen hundred. But it goes down they're all with music.

1254
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:05.600
It goes the one that works. Yeah, the latest one

1255
01:41:05.600 --> 01:41:08.560
that actually clicks on is to two hundred and fifty

1256
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:12.479
one to oney three hundred. Still working on that one.

1257
01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:22.319
So my plan over time is to have with music

1258
01:41:22.680 --> 01:41:25.119
five hours ten hours and have all of those available,

1259
01:41:26.239 --> 01:41:28.880
but only the ones that I've already done, not going

1260
01:41:28.920 --> 01:41:31.399
back and adding music to ones that I've done in

1261
01:41:31.399 --> 01:41:35.840
the past that didn't have music on. So this will

1262
01:41:35.920 --> 01:41:47.000
be pretty much for the last Yeah, it can only

1263
01:41:47.039 --> 01:41:51.000
be ones where Spreaker as a loud music, but it's

1264
01:41:51.079 --> 01:41:53.039
their music, so it won't be any of the old

1265
01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:55.439
ones that had ad music that I used to use.

1266
01:41:56.000 --> 01:42:01.680
The Kevin McLeod music can't use them, so Speaker won't

1267
01:42:01.680 --> 01:42:07.960
allow it. So I I will try and update all

1268
01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:12.960
the ones with music that I have, and then going forward,

1269
01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:16.720
all the recordings apart from the one so I just

1270
01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:21.720
do one without music, one with music. They'll all have

1271
01:42:21.800 --> 01:42:24.680
the five one, the five different, six different versions. Rather,

1272
01:42:26.119 --> 01:42:32.119
I was sending myself to sleep. It's incredible. Let's see

1273
01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:38.399
if I've had any Oh, my sister's birthday is coming

1274
01:42:38.439 --> 01:42:39.079
up in July.

1275
01:42:39.239 --> 01:42:52.159
Okay, oh, I want to get rid of some of this.

1276
01:42:55.119 --> 01:43:10.520
Junk now, bah ooh ooh, right, that's done, bit bi

1277
01:43:10.880 --> 01:43:14.439
oh yes, Sphinnia's waking me up. Two thirty this morning,

1278
01:43:15.159 --> 01:43:19.159
we go outside. I dropped down the lead on a floor.

1279
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:23.199
Pick it up. It's like Pamela Anderson breakdancing. I got

1280
01:43:23.239 --> 01:43:30.560
distracted after that point, and out of the doorway comes

1281
01:43:30.640 --> 01:43:33.279
this big figure, which was a little bit of a

1282
01:43:33.319 --> 01:43:35.760
shock because I didn't expect anyone to come through the doorway.

1283
01:43:36.279 --> 01:43:38.319
And it was the lad who lives over there over

1284
01:43:38.359 --> 01:43:42.319
the over the road. So I've lived here ten years

1285
01:43:42.439 --> 01:43:45.800
is now twenty one or whatever. So he was a kid,

1286
01:43:45.840 --> 01:43:49.039
a little kid when I first moved in, and he's

1287
01:43:49.119 --> 01:43:52.479
he's a man, he's a grown grown man now. But

1288
01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:54.720
he was he locked and he didn't lock himself out.

1289
01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:58.039
I think he lost the key and his mum was away,

1290
01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:03.960
so I tried to help him. I said, well, what

1291
01:44:04.039 --> 01:44:06.439
can you what's your options? Because he was literally just

1292
01:44:06.479 --> 01:44:10.960
waiting around. He didn't know what to do, and I said,

1293
01:44:11.039 --> 01:44:13.119
what are your options? I said, well, he said, I

1294
01:44:13.119 --> 01:44:18.159
can knock on the neighbor opposite. He's got a key,

1295
01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:21.840
but he's he'll be asleep. I said, well to wake

1296
01:44:21.880 --> 01:44:24.479
him up. Then he didn't want to wake him up,

1297
01:44:24.520 --> 01:44:26.159
and I said, look, that's the whole point of having

1298
01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:31.319
a key. It's for emergencies. It's if you locked yourself

1299
01:44:31.359 --> 01:44:36.439
out at two in the morning, that's an emergency, and

1300
01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:40.159
that's the whole point. Really, that's you know, that's that's

1301
01:44:40.239 --> 01:44:44.199
my it's an opinion, but you know, that's how I

1302
01:44:44.279 --> 01:44:49.840
kind of see it. And so he knocked on the door.

1303
01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:53.880
I knocked on the door. There's no answer, and we

1304
01:44:53.880 --> 01:44:57.520
weren't going to not make a huge amount of noise

1305
01:44:57.560 --> 01:44:59.840
because he don't want to startle the person, you know,

1306
01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:02.920
so it's kind of okay, let's leave it. I took

1307
01:45:03.000 --> 01:45:06.439
him upstairs, brought him upstairs here and I said, well,

1308
01:45:06.640 --> 01:45:13.520
I'll call a council to get the key, get the

1309
01:45:13.560 --> 01:45:17.239
locksmith in. And then it turned out that it's not

1310
01:45:17.279 --> 01:45:21.880
with the council, so they couldn't do that, and I said, well,

1311
01:45:21.920 --> 01:45:23.840
you can stay here if you want, You can sit

1312
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:28.079
down and wait until a good time to knock on

1313
01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:30.880
your neighbor's door when he's awake. So I think he's

1314
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.399
quite early. He gets up fairly early, and he didn't

1315
01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:37.439
want to do that, I understand, to be fair, because

1316
01:45:37.520 --> 01:45:40.640
he doesn't really know me very well. But I just

1317
01:45:41.319 --> 01:45:47.680
the idea of leaving someone outside in the garden. And

1318
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:52.800
it's admittedly it wasn't cold out there, you know, even

1319
01:45:52.840 --> 01:45:55.000
at two point thirty or whatever time it was, it

1320
01:45:55.039 --> 01:45:59.960
wasn't cold, but there's going to come a time when

1321
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:02.760
it isn't warm that when it gets you know, by

1322
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:06.720
like maybe four three four, there's a there's a certain

1323
01:46:06.760 --> 01:46:12.840
time at night that he really can get chilly, especially

1324
01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:20.119
July August, but June, you know, anytime really. But it

1325
01:46:20.279 --> 01:46:23.119
just happened to be a really really light evening that

1326
01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:27.960
evening last night, so he just went back downstairs and

1327
01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:31.640
went and sat in the garden waited so and his

1328
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:35.079
mum was away or whatever, so he couldn't couldn't get

1329
01:46:35.119 --> 01:46:38.520
hold of her. So I've not seen him to ask

1330
01:46:38.560 --> 01:46:42.119
him if he's okay. But I think that's why Vinnie

1331
01:46:42.159 --> 01:46:45.840
was basically trying to get me, get my attention because

1332
01:46:45.840 --> 01:46:49.560
he could he could probably hear hear him down there,

1333
01:46:51.199 --> 01:46:57.640
but he didn't bark or anything. I'm not talking about

1334
01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:00.239
the neighbor. I'm talking about him. He didn't vinne, he

1335
01:47:00.279 --> 01:47:06.239
didn't bark. He just like wanted my attention. But then

1336
01:47:06.239 --> 01:47:08.640
I'm thinking the fact that he's been left on his

1337
01:47:08.680 --> 01:47:12.079
own for most of the day, and then when I

1338
01:47:12.079 --> 01:47:17.279
am here, he's going out. He's still getting out. I'm

1339
01:47:17.279 --> 01:47:20.279
still taking him out three times a day for his

1340
01:47:20.520 --> 01:47:24.560
w alk. So he goes for one in the morning,

1341
01:47:24.680 --> 01:47:26.439
then he goes for one to get back, then he

1342
01:47:26.479 --> 01:47:29.479
goes for another one later on, so he's had three

1343
01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:37.239
today already. It probably I might just just take him

1344
01:47:37.279 --> 01:47:39.399
in the garden for five minutes before I go to

1345
01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:43.279
bed tonight, because it's half past eight now I do

1346
01:47:43.439 --> 01:47:48.239
need to eat something. And then yeah, I'll be in

1347
01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:52.840
bed by ten hopefully, So I'll take him out for

1348
01:47:54.279 --> 01:47:58.279
go for doo weewis in the garden. Yeah, I'll do,

1349
01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:02.680
and then I'll get up. I'll wake up whatever time

1350
01:48:03.840 --> 01:48:09.560
I'll wake up in the morning. I've got I've got

1351
01:48:09.680 --> 01:48:13.920
enough milk for my ready break in the morning. And

1352
01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:18.880
then that's it. So what I need to do when

1353
01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:22.960
I get home is order some food, get a delivery

1354
01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:29.600
that tomorrow and then just basics milk, breakfast, cereal, a

1355
01:48:29.640 --> 01:48:34.800
few bits and bobs. Yeah, that would be I need

1356
01:48:34.800 --> 01:48:42.560
to do that. Yeah, So tomorrow's kind of booked. Torow,

1357
01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:50.840
Tomorrow's planned, and Friday, I just don't know. To be honest,

1358
01:48:52.800 --> 01:48:55.840

1359
01:48:56.039 --> 01:48:58.399

1361
01:49:03.039 --> 01:49:06.199
tomorrow because there has been a little bit of a

1362
01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:11.800
progression today since I left. He's been visited and he's

1363
01:49:11.840 --> 01:49:17.520
had some conversations with people about his situation. So I'll

1364
01:49:17.560 --> 01:49:23.560

1365
01:49:23.600 --> 01:49:28.279

toasted crumpets with a margarine and a cup of tea

1369
01:49:45.399 --> 01:49:51.920
or a nass cup of tea, and that's it. Really.
