Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, and welcome to Jasondewland dot com. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
My name is Jason Newland and this has led me
boy to sleep. Please only listen when you can safely

(00:24):
close your eyes. This is the early edition. What early edition?
What's that? Well, it's the edition that's earlier than the
older one. This is well today, at least, I'm doing

(00:47):
two different recordings. This one in the morning and later
on tonight I'll do another one. I have to go out.
Oh no, do have to go out? And I don't
want to, but I have to because because because because

(01:09):
I have a doctor's appointment. While it's a nurse appointment,
two have my it's like a mental health thing. So
I'm going to be going there and the appointments at
two o'clock. So I'm going to get a taxi up

(01:34):
there collect my prescriptions. I've got a taxi booked for
one o'clock. I booked that yesterday, so not for today. Days.
Then I'm going to go to the pharmacy on the
way to pick up my prescriptions, then go to the

(01:56):
doctor's surgery, which will probably I'll be there probably by
about half one, and then I will possibly go into
the supermarket possibly, Or am I just going to the

(02:19):
doctor's surgery and just sit there for half an hour?
I don't really matter, but I might go. And because
part of my plan is I need to get a bracket,
a wall bracket for my TV. I need to measure
my TV. So I'm not sure where the tape measure is.

(02:40):
It's hiding from me. I think it's the reason it
hides me because of what's constantly measuring. So it's hiding.
But if I find it providing, I can, you know,
stop it from screaming. I was just saying, look, it's fine,
I just can measure the television this time. Are you sure? Yeah,
but that's what you said, that's time, okay. No, it's

(03:02):
definitely the television we're measuring, okay. And so the idea
is to get a bracket on the TV and a
bracket for the TV on the wall and then get
the TV moved up. So I'm gonna get my neighbors
downstairs to help me to put it onto the wall.

(03:23):
Then I'm going to move the tables away put one mm. Yeah,
I think I might take one table and put it
into the bedroom and have one table because I've got
these desks. They're like gaming desks, but I'm not a gammer. No,

(03:46):
I'm not, and have one desk. I probably just leave
them where they are for now, but it would be
quite nice to go back to being able to do
stuff on the computer whilst watching TV. At the moment,
I can't do that because the desks are or the

(04:07):
TV's on top of the tables in his room, you know,
to do stuff in front of the tables, because they're
quite big desks. But visually I cannot watch television so close.
And General Zod passed away yesterday, you know, from the

(04:29):
old Superman movies. I didn't realize what a great actor was.
And I also didn't realize I know it was great
in Superman and Zod Kneel before Zodd and he was
probably very famous in the sixties or seventies, sixties I think.

(04:56):
But he was in a movie about two thy eleven.
It was so good. I mean, I actually did look
it up earlier because right, General Ord, General Zort, why

(05:23):
are you passed? Why why are you doing that? Terence
Stamp his name is, But I got I've got a
Wikipedia saying please don't skip this one minute read. It's Monday,
the eightaphe of August, and we're running a short fundraiser

(05:47):
to support Wikipedia. If you've lost count of how many
times you've visited Wikipedia this time, we hope that means
it's given you at least two pounds seventy five pence
of knowledge. Please join the two percent of readers who
give what they can to keep this valuable resource ad

(06:09):
free and available for all. After nearly twenty five years,
Wikipedia is still the Internet we promised, created by people,
not by machines. It's not perfect, but it's not here
to push a point of view. It's owned by a nonprofit,
non giant technology company or a billionaire. Okay, so most

(06:35):
readers donate because Wikipedia is useful to them. Others because
Wikipedia is more important than ever. If you feel the same,
please donate two pounds and seventy five now, or consider
a monthly gift to help all year. Thank you. That's
a nice advert for Wikipedia, wasn't it. Wow? It's got

(06:59):
here a once a once payment option two seventy five
fifteen pound twenty five fifty one hundred, two fifty five
hundred and other. Are there people out there that will
actually pay five hundred pound. I wonder I want to

(07:24):
see them stats. You know, I me and stats. I
love a bit of stats, a little bit of statistic thing.
But then if you go to monthly also the same amounts.
So is there anyone out there that pays five hundred
pounds a month on a stand in order to Wikipedia?

(07:47):
If anyone's out there, please you, You're welcome to pay
me five hundred pounds a month. That'd be cool. Wow,
I'd be I'd have a great financial lifestyle if everyone
was paying me five hundred pounds a month, that would
be I don't at least five hundred pound a month. Yeah, right,

(08:11):
General Zodd, So really okay, So Terrence Stemp, there was
a really good movie that I would recommend anybody watching.

(08:36):
It's a really good movie. And he let me have
a look. It was about two thousand and eleven. Nope,
it wasn't. It was twenty twelve. A Song for Marion,

(08:58):
and it's basically he's an old man and he loses
his wife. That's pretty much the whole you know, how
he copes with that. But it's really good. It's just
something like, you know, family and stuff come to help him,

(09:19):
and he's very stoic, but at the same time, you
know he's got love and you know, it's a really
good movie. And I remember watching it thinking, he looks
so familiar. Why do I have the feeling to run

(09:40):
off and phone Superman to come and help me? And
I couldn't figure it out. And it's like, oh, it's odd.
But you know, bearing in Mind twenty eleven in nineteen
seventy eight, looks you know, he's still got the same face,
but aged slightly. But he was actually nominated for his

(10:07):
very first movie he did in nineteen sixty two called
Billy Budd. He was he had an Academy Award nominated
for Best Supporting Actor. I mean, wow, that's pretty amazing
for your very first movie. BlimE me. And then always

(10:36):
in a Company of Wolves? So is anyone seen a
Company of Wolves? It's one of those movies that's kind
of disappeared. It's really good movie. It's a horror movie,
but it's got it's got the murdery murder. She wrote,

(10:59):
Lady in it telling stories, but I don't want to
spoil it for you. You know, there's stuff I could
tell you, but I don't want to spoil it because
you know, it's only forty one years old. So yeah,

(11:21):
we played the devil. Oh, that's nice. He was also
in Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and I
suppose maybe that's what he's Some people would like know him.
It's because he I don't know. I don't think I've

(11:43):
ever watched that movie, not for any reason, just I
don't think I ever got around to watching it. There's
a lot of movies, isn't there a lot of movies.
But anyway, he's very handsome man eighty seven though, So yeah,

(12:05):
he's departed, right, So let's have a look. I'm just
reading the Daily Mirror. I'm just going to see what

NHS scans and tests. Okay, oh, I mean, okay, what's this?

(12:31):

as she chills on the beach in the sea. So
there's a picture of her in a bikini on the beach.

(12:58):
skipping through all the politics and no bliming, no, no, no.
Brooklyn's words of love for New Family. So Brooklyn Beckham
has made an emotional speech as wedding vow renew ceremony,

(13:19):

it weird? This like the press they've been talking about
the Beckhams for since what the nineties, David and then

(13:44):
of course Skinny Spice, Palty Spice, whatever she was called.
And then they got together because they were, you know,
they were both famous in their own right. I mean,
take Nicholae. She was more famous in him really, and

(14:05):
then they got together and the newspapers haven't stopped talking
about them. And then they had babies, and the newspapers
didn't stop talking about them, and then those babies are
now old or you know, adults, and they still haven't

(14:25):
stopped talking about them. It's like it's almost like they're
that like another royal family. They are weird and it's strange. Right,
let's have a look lose, okay. Cliff Richard makes a

(14:48):
date with photo shoot, so he has a photo shoot.
Is eighty four, all right? So he makes the calendar
every year, so he's done a Christmas calendar now ready
for Christmas, which isn't that far away, I suppose. But

(15:11):

making out that that was his own choice. No, I
think he was asked. Please please, Cliffee. We've got a
bit of feedback from your fans. You know they still

chips at risk. TikTok's risky tips to avoid pregnancy. Okay,
this has got to be interesting, right. Oh, I should

(16:18):
be looking at TV. I've got this streaming to the TV,
so I should be able to watch that. Okay, right,
Dodgy birth control tips on TikTok could do the opposite.
So more than half of the contraception advice found on
the platform rejected methods such as pills and patches. Some

(16:42):
failed to disclose the drawbacks the drawbacks of method the
drawouts of methods such as fertility tracking. Doctor Caroline D.
Mole Bandle of a Latrobe Universe the Australia are said

(17:03):
much content is unreliable. This kind of misinformation can result
in unsafe decisions they're not saying anything. They're not telling
us anything. Just give us some information, give us an
example at the very least, you know, pull out something.

(17:26):
Pull uh. So they're talking about Terrence Stamp Okay, Bitcoin raider,

itching as as turns his life around. Right, that's not
even a sentence, that Tommy, this is Tommy FURYO, it's

(18:15):
Tyson Fu his brother Tommy. Tommy relaxes in his own
kitchen as turns his life around. So the misty he now,
he's like, well that's pedantic. But this is a newspaper.
This is a national newspaper. You'd think they'd be able

(18:38):
to get a sentence. There's more important things to be
concerned with. I know that, right, I'm not interested in
hearing about Tommy Fury is for girlfriend and none of

(19:02):
my business. De An eight kilogram fat cats in flap
to find new owners. So a cat who grew so
fat she could not fit through a cat flap is
in need of new owners to help her slim down

(19:23):
seven year old moose. Are you sure it's not a moose?
A ginger domestic short hair reached nine out of nine
on the vet's Obesity skull. She arrived weighing eight point
six two kilos and a fur was completely matted, as

(19:44):
she could not groom herself staff at the Little Valley Shelter.
But why would the owner want to get rid of her?
Just make a bigger cat flap and maybe do some grooming.
I don't know, because the thing is with cats is

(20:07):
they can, like a dog, will eat what you know,
what your dog's eating, because you're the one giving them food.
With a cat, they could eat and then go off
and eat someone else's food and catch things. And you know,
I mean this cat ain't catching nothing. Is Yeah, by

major threat to the Okay, right, what other things, there's
some women in bikinis for some reason. Okay, kind of

(20:54):
brotherly that. I've got dad who was too fat to
fit in his car, loses twenty stone and does triathlons. Okay,
um me good on him? So they I don't know

(21:19):
what it's James Norton's grimaces during blood. That's an advert
for a TV show how to put Oh this is interested,

(21:40):
how to prepare for your teen's party. So Sally Ross
shares her tips for keeping your home and kids protected,
in other words, spying on them. So get a doorbell
stopping them having fun. Get a doorbell camera. In hindsight,
having a doorbell camera was very effective, and I'd recommend

(22:03):
it to other parents thinking of letting their kids have
a house party. We could also look at who who
was at the door and decided if they were going
to open it or not, if we were going to
open it or not. I mean, I would recommend a
door camera, a doorbell camera, camera, doorbell, whatever you want

(22:26):
to call them to everyone. I've got one, and I
know the people that don't like them. Some people I
suppose they just you know, they don't want to be
on camera. But I'd say quite a few people that
don't want to be on camera is for a reason.

(22:49):
It's because they're dodgy. The dodgy apparently right. If you
this is a psychological thing. If you want to cut
down crime. Put cardboard cutouts of police in windows. And

(23:11):
even if like the general public can see it's just
a cardboard cutout or it's a sticker on a window
of a police person, psychologically it's like garlic to a vampire.
They don't know why, but they just want to get
away from that because inherently in them, that criminal, dodgy,

(23:39):
disgustingness that they are is kind of repelled by it,
and they can't help it. So I thought about getting
some sticker police to put in my windows, but then
I'd never get any visitors. No one had ever come
in the building. Get home and Contents Insurance right look

(24:05):
away anything valuable or sentimental Agree, guest lists and list
and limit numbers. Ask to see this. Get home in
Contents Insurance. Now I'm surprised I haven't actually put a
company to phone because this is all about advertising, isn't it.

(24:27):
These newspapers agree guest list ask teams to turn off
their location on social media. This is a useful tip
that police share with parents. Tell kids to turn off
their location on social media apps such as Snapchat. If

(24:48):
youngsters who aren't invited to see a whole group in
one location, they're going to assume there's a party of
some kind. That's where you end up with gate crashes.
So it's a good way of minimizing the risk of
unwanted guests. I'd see what I always found kind of weird,

(25:12):
even when I was a kid. How this is something
and it's still I know it still goes on. Is
how there can be like a hundred people at party
and one person walks in and starts to dominate, starts

(25:37):
to check their weight around, or maybe two, maybe three even,
but they start to check their weight around, and the
hundred people all kind of you know, feel uncomfortable and
they do nothing. Well, when you've got like one person

(25:59):
and you've got a hundred people, that one person could
be removed quite easily, quite successfully. I'm not saying permanently,
but you know, they can definitely be removed from the building.
I used to notice that at school, like hundreds and

(26:19):
hundreds of kids and one there'd be one kid walking
around like he was special, Like he probably was special,
but like whey he was you know, being a bully
boy or bully girl, because there was girls that did
that as well. It's never really I really got it,

(26:43):
never really kind of understood why people didn't just get
together and have a little chat with them. So that's
enough of that. Now you're just it's just a child,
just like all of us. You just developed a bit quicker,
you got more muscles than us at the moment. And

(27:06):
you know, it's like you've got hundreds of kids, all
like a bit dubious, a bit scared, a bit worried
about this one lad that's just grown a bit bigger
than everyone else, when they could just remove him from
the building if they wanted. But they don't, do they

(27:30):
They don't. I used to, honestly, things I used to
think about when I was a kid. It's like why,
I mean, I was no different. Well, I don't know.
I used to stand up for myself generally, but I
was lucky. I didn't really have to worry about stuff

(27:50):
like that. When I was at school. I didn't have
and I know it's horrible. I had one kid try
to bully me once and that didn't work out. No twice,
actually I didn't work out well for them. But I

(28:11):
the difference is, I think I grew up with two
older brothers, and I also grew up in a much
more very it wasn't a soft childhood, you know, so
for the ages of two to seven, you know, it

(28:33):
wasn't you know. I lived on account a rough council
estate in Newcastle when I was very young, so I
wasn't really scared of kids. So yeah, I don't know.
I just maybe I'm just lucky that no one decided
they Maybe I don't know. I don't know, but I think,

(29:00):
you know, with having older brothers, it was just it
does make a difference because they were a bit rough
and ready sometimes and I used to being pushed around
and it didn't bother me. It didn't. I wasn't intimidated
by it, although they didn't have my back because they

(29:22):
weren't even in the same school as me. No, they weren't.
I was on my own. Ooh, have a responsible adult present, Well,
that's going to completely ruin the teenagers fun, isn't it
if there's like a parent there. But then it doesn't

(29:46):
say tea, it says teenagers. I don't know. They're talking
about thirteen and they're talking about nineteen because it's still teenager,
isn't it. So I don't know, I don't know what
the rules are with that, and have a repair kit
for minor damage so it can be touched up easily.

(30:10):
Hide spare keys, and serve food because teenagers get hungry.
Teenagers get hungry. Wow, be careful with what you serve,
as it could end up on your furniture or the carpets.
So not only do teenagers get hungry, they also eat

(30:32):
like animals. Teenagers get We all get hungry. It's just normal. Ah,
they say, look, what else? What else? What is else? Colleen?
I feel judged for moving out and leaving our kids

(30:55):
deck Colleen, So this is deer Colleen. I'm thinking about
doing a Jason Agony uncle column? What do you think
I could answer people's questions? You could send in a
question or a letter. Answer your letter. You could send
in a letter, and then I'll give you my opinion.

(31:17):
I don't think anyone want to hear my opinion. Yeah,
probably not a good idea. I don't know. It might
be interesting, but I don't know. Really. What are you doing? Right? Okay?

(31:38):
Here we go? What's the next one? This is just adverts?
Travel inspired Okay? So remembering right? TV stuff? Now? I
saw an article maybe it was the People, because what

(31:59):
sort of line this morning? That was very scary or
so I'll heavy weight for Usik. Shot O Talma says
he hasn't earned right yet to face undisputed champ. So
Moses of Talma is the you know, the next big

(32:24):
thing really in heavyweight boxing. And he insist that he
will not call out undisputed king Alexandra Usik because he
does not believe he deserves the chance yet, which is true.
I mean true in the sense that he hasn't done

(32:47):
anything to earn his right to fight for a world
title when there's people waiting to fight for the world
title already in a queue. You've got Joseph Parker, Fabia Wardley,

(33:11):
and I think Cabael and I also do believe Cesora,
So I think all four of those people are ahead
of Moses the Talma. So what most of the Talma
need to do is knock one of those off the perch,

(33:36):
so he yeah, or all of them. I mean, I
don't know how it works really because he's I know,
I think he trains for like fourteen weeks for less
than two minutes in the ring, and I'm not sure

(33:59):
if he even got hit once in that fight. He
might have done, but I'm not sure if he did,
and he's not dialing White out in the first round,
So technically couldn't he have another fight next month? But

(34:23):
then they can't promote it. They haven't got time to
promote it because if once I think, once they get
to the level of because now he's at world level,
it will be rated, you know, probably in the top
ten of every belt now. So I'd like to see

(34:50):
him just every month of the year fighting those big people,
so SIP providing you know, he doesn't get into a
getting it injured or you know, or what every two months,
even six times a year. But with heavyweights, they just

(35:13):
don't seem to do that, or any boxers now. I mean,
there was a time when world champions would defend their
titles multiple times in a year. Now, especially with the
head what heavyweights, you're lucky if you get two fights
a year, which is not a lot. There's probably a

(35:34):
lot for them, but it's not a lot in the
sense of, you know, it's going to take them ten
years to rack up twenty fights or five years to
get ten defenses. Five years. There's a really weird sound.

(36:12):
I don't know where it's coming from.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
It like r.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
I can you hear it? So it's almost sounds like
it's in the wall or outside. It sounds a bit
like my stomach. I think it might be a bird.
Maybe it's a bird in the lofts. Possible anyway, So

(36:47):
it's kind of like, Okay, that's the rest of us
a town. I twenty made light work, blah blah blah.
But he is he is iron more. But he is
iron more those champion at the bit to get shot

(37:09):
at Usik. What that doesn't even make sense. But he
is iron more. Those champing at the bit to get
shot in Usik shot rather, so's iron more those champion Okay,
sos Iron is looking at the people that are waiting
to fight Usik. He said, I put on a porerformance

(37:32):
for you guys, so it's now who's next. I don't
want to call out Usik because I don't believe I
deserved the opportunity. Mind you, the man in charge of
the money in boxing, who is in Saudi Arabia, says
that he wants Usik to fight what's his name tell

(37:59):
me at Talma and generally what he wants he gets
because he's got the money. So I'm pretty sure if
he said, if he said to now if if Saudi
Arabia offered Alexandra Usik, he said to him, I would

(38:24):
like you to fight at Talma, and Lucid might say no,
and they said, here's one hundred million. Okay, then I
don't think it's a really long discussion, is it. And
all I've got to do is if anyone's upset, wait
a minute, I was next in line, chuck him a

(38:46):
couple of a couple of million. He's going to go
away happy, so I will never mind. I don't mind waiting.
I'm not going to wait. Here's two million dollars, all right,
then I'll wait then, okay, just let me know when
you're ready. It's you know, it's easy. If they've got
the money, it's so easy to get it all and
put together. And the problem is Moses at Town has

(39:15):
he's kind of eclipsed all the other heavyweights now in
a sense of his the most exciting heavyweight out there
that everyone's now watching, anyone in that's interested in boxing,
and whether or not he's ready for Usik. And I'm
not sure that anybody will ever be able to be Usick.

(39:42):
If I was going to choose between any other heavyweight
fighting Usick, If I could choose which one, I'd choose
Moses because it's an exciting fight. It's just just exciting
to see, you know, because I personally, I didn't fight Eve.

(40:04):
I didn't find either of the The only fights that
I've actually enjoyed Usik as a heavyweight, well, the only
ones would be probably when he fought Chesaora four or
five years ago, whenever it was, and then the two

(40:27):
fights with Daniel Dubois. Both those fights were good, and
the second fight, you know, but I didn't really I mean,
there was there was good parts in the other fights
with Joshua, two fights with Joshua, the two fights with Fury,

(40:49):
but they weren't weren't like a great watch, you know.
They were. I mean, He's the skill was amazing, but
there's something I wasn't excited about watching them. I was
excited about the show because there was lots of really
big fights on the show. I was more excited on

(41:09):
it and about the undercard than the actual main event,
to be honest, or some of those shows, especially with
the rematches, I just wasn't that interested in seeing Tyson
Fury or Joshua fighting music Again, I'd rather than just
fight each other. That's one that's been was now kind

(41:32):
of I don't think it's it's still it's still a
cellable fight. It was still sell out Wembley because it's
one they're both at the same kind of stage of
their career, near the end potentially. And then I keep
remembering George Foreman, who was forty five when he won

(41:54):
the world title. So you know, it doesn't necessarily mean
just because someone's thirty eight that they need to be
written off. But then George Foreman did have a long break.
He had like a ten year break after you know,
when he was young to coming back, so that ten

(42:16):
year break definitely would have made a difference. Yeah, I
want to see I hope that they put that on
because that's going to be interesting. That would be something
I'd look forward to if they said, okay, was it

(42:36):
August septem it's saying in November or December, USI's going
to defend his title against Atalma, all his titles. I'll
actually look forward to that like proper look forward to
it because regardless of who wins, HM, it's going to

(43:01):
be a good fight because the town is he's a
special fighter, clearly, so is U sik Husick's probably one
of the best heavyweights ever. He's so good. He's just brilliant,
brilliant boxer. Everything is just. But I find a town

(43:26):
more exciting. There's difference. I don't find who's sick to
be an exciting fire. He's a brilliant fire and he's
really funny bloke off off, you know, in real life
and from what I've seen on videos, and he's got
great skill and he's you know, but I don't find

(43:49):
that style. I don't know. It's almost like he's he's
running circles around the big heavyweights and making them not
look very good. Well, actually they are all really good.
All the ones that he's beaten are good fighters, world

(44:10):
champions at different times as well, because he beat them
to win the titles. So I don't know. I'm kind
of i'd like to see. I quite like to see
because there's a few different people that U six should
be fighting next. As said, Cabael and Joseph Parker being

(44:32):
the two main ones, and I think Joseph Parker's next
Cabael is. I mean, Joseph Parker is the most improved
heavyweight out of everyone. He's gone from being a really

(44:53):
good boxer, former world champion, to being a really hard
hitter and an absolute warrior, which he never used to
show that in the past. Not the way he does
now is like he really goes all out, very exciting fire.
I didn't used to find him exciting in the past.

(45:13):
And I've watched Joseph Parker fight, ah what ten fifteen times?
Probably I've been following him for nearly ten years. He's
so much more exciting now. Cabelle is just being everyone

(45:34):
anyone who puts in front of him.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
He's his.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
Superior boxing skills and he's a hard puncher. So I
think out of all the boxers that stand the best
chance for getting out of the ones that are experience
forgetting the two to tell me a tell me, Cabayel
is probably the one that has more chance of winning

(45:59):
again as Usick than any other heavyweight based on skill,
based on boxing ability. I mean, you could argue, oh,
but what about Tyson Fury. He's the he's a great boxer,
and yeah, I can't argue with that. It's a brilliant boxer,
but he doesn't. Usik seems to have had It's almost

(46:25):
he's got the blueprint for the big guys. Now, Cabel
is not a big he's big, obviously, all heavyweights are big,
but he's not a big big guy, so he's not
going to be six seven six eight. So Sik can't
do that ducking and diving and going, you know, running

(46:48):
around them with him, because he's going to be standing
in front of him, and they're both probably about the
same height. In fact, Cabel might be a bit shorter,
so I'm thinking he might you know, that he might
be a chance to win. But I do hope, I

(47:10):
do do do hope if a Talma, if they don't
match a Talma with you sick because Usik's probably got
a couple of fights left if that, and then he's
going to retire because I think that's I think he
said that he's not fighting for much longer. So Talma,
if he doesn't fight him now, he may never get

(47:30):
a chance to fight him. And I think it's really
good if an undefeated world champion gets beaten bar and
sort of new world champion beats an undefeated world champion
and passes that torch on, it's almost I only become

(47:51):
the linear champion, and there's something quite cool about that.
Then you can trace it back all the way back
to you know, one hundred years ago. But there's there's
something quite cool about that, beating an undefeated to two

(48:13):
different weights world champion, two times unified heavyweight champion, and
no one's ever done that before, I don't think so. Yeah,
if a town me doesn't get a chance to fight
him now, you probably never will fight him. I mean,
if he doesn't fight him this year. So I would

(48:35):
say the only two people three three actually Cabel, Joseph
Parker or Fabriar Wardley. Now Fabio Wardley is undefeated. I
don't want to see him fighting a Telma because I'm

(49:00):
a big fan of Fabio and I just don't I
want him to take a different route. I kind of
don't want to put keep putting two bricks together. I
want to keep you know, let's have lots of world
champions if we can, like we did before with Anti,
Joshua and Fury. You know, they never fought each other

(49:27):
because then they'd only have one world champion, only one
British world champion instead of two. And as long as
we had two, we kept everyone else away. I said,
we kept everyone else, so I didn't really wasn't really
that involved in myself. But you know, we've dominated the

(49:50):
heavyweight division for a good few years now in England, Britain,
whatever you want to call us. And really Wilder was
the only one. Deontay Wilder was the only non British
fighter that was prominent in the last ten years in

(50:19):
the heavyweight division. Like really, I mean, if we got
back ten years, Joseph Parker was a world champion, and
it's been a few world champions until it was all
kind of put together. But Wilder dominated in America for

(50:40):
his world title and I think he I'm sure he
had about ten defenses until he lost to Fury a
few years back. And Antony Joshua he's had the belt
since on the belt about eight years ago, nine years ago.

(51:04):
They lost it, then they want it back again. They
lost it a couple of years or three years ago too,
was it two years ago? I don't know. To U Sik,

(51:25):
I just want to see I want to see a
Talma fighter, U Sik. That's it, that's all I want.
I think it'd be cool and like sometimes heavyweight, well
I'm going to talk about heavyweight. Sometimes fighters do going

(51:48):
too early, so I think that there's an example of
Joe Frasier's son, Marvin Fraser. He'd only had a few
fights and he went in with Larry Holmes, and because
he had Fraser's name, and he was, you know, he

(52:10):
was following in his his dad's footsteps. And Joe Fraser
being one of the most famous boxers in America history.
Even you could argue it's a very famous name always
will be, I guess Joe Fraser, so his dad having

(52:31):
his dad as to who he was. Marvin Fraser got
a crack at the world title against Larry Holmes way
sooner than he was really ready for. And even Larry
Holmes was saying to the referee, you need to stop
it because he couldn't, you know, he wasn't ready to

(52:57):
fight the best heavyweight in the world at the time,
who was Larry Holmes. I do hope, though, oh my gosh,
is he going to keep talking about boxing the whole time?
And maybe maybe I do hope that when they come
to the history books for boxing, heavyweight boxing, I sometimes

(53:24):
feel that Larry Holmes is almost forgotten, which I find
amazingly ridiculous because he's one of the greatest heavyweights of
all time, and I know people argue, but it doesn't
matter my podcast. I'm correct. Actually I do believe I'm correct.

(53:45):
I mean I say one of the greatest. He could
be one of twenty or thirty, and is for not.
He was phenomenal. His defense was great, great, great jab
His defense was amazing, and he held the title for
a long time, and he fought all comers. He just

(54:11):
for some reason wasn't He didn't have the popularity because
it came just after well he won, He didn't win
the world title from Muhammad Ali, but he came after
Muhammadali being the most famous boxer. And then you had
Joe Frazier and George Foreman and all those really popular

(54:34):
heavyweight boxers of that era, Norton and Ernie Shavers. Was
he the seventies. There's so many really big names in
the seventies who not all of them won world titles,
but they were all, you know, kind of sort of

(54:55):
celebrity states really, I suppose, but especially George Woman, Frasier,
Arlie and then Larry Holmes took over and he ran
he ran the place, you know, he ran the heavyweight
division for quite a while. But he just even he

(55:19):
said himself, he just didn't get the respect that he deserved.
He thought anyone that you know that was offered to him,
and he beat everyone until he faced Michael Spinks, so
he had I think he had forty eight wins, forty

(55:40):
eight wins undefeated record, and he fought Michael Spinx, who
is Leon Spinks's brother. Leon Spinks beat Muhammad Ali in
about nineteen mm, I don't know, seventy eight seventy seven.
So that's the thing. You know, when Larry Holnes beat

(56:06):
Muhammad Darli, everyone's saying, mammaed Darly' is an old man.
He's an old man. You beat him. He shouldn't have
been in the ring. Muhammad Darli shouldn't have been in
the ring he was so old. But and I'm gonna
look it up now, okay, Arlie, when he got put

(56:33):
Arli and nope, Ali express, Okay, that's weird. I thought
Muhammad Dahli would coup. He doesn't boxer. If I put
in boxer, Harley, there was a time you put in
Arli and Muhammad Darli. Okay. So let's go down to

(56:55):
the boxing record, oop boxing card, all the way down
to all the way up to the end. So right,
he fought Leon Spinks February fifteenth, nineteen seventy eight, okay,

(57:26):
and he lost on points. This is Muhammad Ali. Six
months earlier than that, he fought Ernie Shavers, so you know,
he was still and he was a world champion by
the way, but he lost his world title. And then

(57:47):
September fifteenth, nineteen seventy eight, Muhammadani fought Leon Spinks again
and he won the world title back. So September nineteen
seventy eight, so we to go forward September nineteen seventy
nine September nineteen eighty, so just over two years later

(58:14):
he fought Larry Holmes. Now fair enough, two years of
not getting in a ring, it's quite a long time.
And you know, they argue, yeah, it was thirty eight
years old, nearly thirty nine, but it was nearly thirty
seven years old when he won the world title back.

(58:39):
So I'm not sure how much two years can have
an effect, just you know, generally, I'm not sure, but
that I think he was. It was one of those
situations where the same with Thellian White fight and a Talma.

(59:07):
A Talma is a lot of the people were going
on about what Dillion White's lost it. He's not. He's
not the Dillion White he used to be, and you
know that's why it ended so quickly, and he's just
lost what he had. And they said that about Ali
giving Larry Holmes no credit for winning, and it's a

(59:33):
little bit like that with a talma or not giving
him the credit perhaps he deserves for beating someone like
Dillion White, who has been a huge force in the
heavyweight division for a long time. He's not a pushover.
He's never going to be a pushover, even when he's eighty,

(59:54):
he won't be a pushover. This is a big, strong,
tough man. So Larry Holmes didn't get the credit he
deserved for being and Ali I never really kind of understood,

(01:00:19):
not never really a miss this recently, but the last
thirty sod years, sod so years, odd sod so and odd.
Oh I've ordered my taxi for one o'clock is now
eleven twenty five. I don't want to go out. Oh so, anyway,

(01:00:44):
that's Larry Holmes. Arlie didn't retire. He had another fight
a year later, just over a year later, and he
fought Trevor Berbick. Now, if you don't know who Trevor
Burbeck is he is the person who did the chicken

(01:01:09):
dance when Arleie not Arlie Tyson. Mike Tyson won the
world title against Darly against Darli. Mike Tyson won the
world title against Trevor Burbick. And when I was because

(01:01:34):
I was like sixty years old, I watched it and
I thought Trevor Berbick is rubbish again I was also
I was impressed by Mike Tyson and I've been following
him for a couple of years, watching his progress because
he was the new kid. Well I think they did

(01:01:54):
call him kid wonderful now they called him kid Dynamite
to start with. Before they called him iron Mike. And
because he was a kid when he was a teenager,
so I remember watching updates on his fights and how
he's like because he was fighting every every few weeks.

(01:02:16):
So I used to watch his boxing show and they
say teenage kid dynamites, Mike Tyson knocks out another huge man.
So when he fought for the world title, he made

(01:02:40):
Trevor Burbick look awful, really bad. But the fact is
he weren't like a nothing fighter. And also he did

(01:03:04):
have some losses later on and before, but he bought
some really bought. He bought some big names before as well,
and and after Sam he lost Summi one and I'm
trying to look for the where he got knocked out.

(01:03:28):
So you know, he got knocked out by Mike Tyson
in a round two. Bearing in mind he had his record,
he had sixty one fights. This is Trevor Burbick. He
lost his title in nineteen ninety six, nineteen eighty six, sorry,

(01:03:53):
and he carried on and his last fight was in
May two thousand on for another four years or three
and four years, fourteen years or thirteen and a half years.
He won thirty three by knockout, sixteen by decision. He
had eleven losses and might say, well that's not very good. Well, okay,

(01:04:16):
fair enough, but nine by decision, only two by knockout,
so no one after Mike Tyson was able to knock
him out. And again he fought some good names not
to start with I say as in like, I don't know,

(01:04:40):
I don't know any of them names leading up to
John Tate was I think quite a big name. He
fought Larry Holmes on his twenty first fight, so he
had lost it, lost to someone called Bernardo Mercado, and

(01:05:10):
he was previously top ranked heavyweight, but he never never
kind of quite got there. And then in nineteen eighty
one he fought Larry Holmes, took Larry Holmes to distance.

(01:05:32):
This is pek Larry Holmes. This isn't Larry Holmes at
fort Mike Tyson. This is him at his best, and
he couldn't get rid of He couldn't knock out Older Burbick.

(01:05:54):
He also won. He beat Muhammad Ali and it was
Muhammad Ali's very last fight. He beat Greg Page, So
this is after he lost to Larry Holmes. He had
two losses eighty two eighty three to do two different

(01:06:15):
people I've never heard of. And then he kind of
builds his career back up again and then he fights
Pinkland Thomas to win the WBC heavyweight title. He won

(01:06:36):
that twenty second in March nineteen eighty six, and then
he fought Mike Tyson twenty second in November nineteen eighty
six and got knocked down in two rounds. Now, I
for some reason thought that that was it for him.
He must have just quit and run off with whatever

(01:06:57):
money he got paid, because he would have got paid
more than Tyson. For that fight because he was a champion,
which means he would have got paid a nice summer
of money. I imagine should have got a rematch clause.
I don't know how many people would have wanted to
watch that fight if there was a rematch, because it

(01:07:19):
was such a convincing win. But you know, you never know.
Carl Williams he lost to who was a big name.
Buster Douglas, he lost to who was also I think
undefeated at the time. Buster Douglas went on to beat

(01:07:41):
Mike Tyson. Of course, so this is nineteen eighty nine,
so when did Buster Douglas. This must have been the
fight before Buster Douglas Mike Tyson. But that was unanimous decision,

(01:08:02):
So he lost that one and he went back to
the drawing board whatever he thought. Jimmy Funder lost there.
But he also fought people like Hassim Rahman who was
a former world title champion. Again lost on points, but

(01:08:23):
that was that's a big name he was, I think
he was a two time world champion. In fact, he
also fought Iran Barkley and won. And this is in
ninety nine. And the weird thing about it is the

(01:08:46):
Trevor Berbick although he looked awful in the Tyson fight,
apparently he was a very tough man, like a bit
of a bully boy. Actually, So yeah, I don't know

(01:09:06):
why I'm talking about that. When I'm talking about that,
I don't know who knows. There's no one, No one
ever knows. Right, Let's have a look at these star signs.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Aries.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Sharing ideas with like minded people energize you. Conversations inspire
you to look into new possibilities and open this up
and make it Bigger's new possibilities. In group situations, you
will balance assertiveness with charm, and the right words will

(01:09:46):
open doors. The more unusual a situation, the more it
will attract your interest. So that's aries. That's March twenty
first to April Libra. Oh no, we go down Taurus.
That's the next one, isn't it. Even when you feel

(01:10:10):
strongly about an issue, you will be willing to soften
your approach. This helps you connect deeply with others. A
surprising insight will guide a long term decision, and you
will know you are making the right choice. Familiar comforts

(01:10:34):
help you relax this evening, okay, cool Gemini as May
twenty second June twenty first. You have always loved to
mix your mixer and mingle, and you will be especially

(01:10:54):
expressive now, both socially and in the workplace. Friends and
colleagues are drawn to your bright personality. Be open to
unusual suggestions and explore ideas that break routines. Flexibility is

(01:11:18):
your secret power. Oh so, next one's cancer. June twenty
second to July twenty third. You feel things deeply. Someone
senses that there's more to you than meets the eye

(01:11:39):
and wants to find out more. People are impressed by
your quiet confidence. A memory will bring healing, especially if
you allow intuition to steer choices. You are more grounded
than you think. Now Leo, which will be for those

(01:12:08):
anyone that's listening today is a Leo. So July twenty
fourth to August twenty third, and it's August eighteenth. Now
you radiate natural leadership. That's why you will be asked
to take charge of a team effort. Senior colleagues are

(01:12:31):
watching your performance. Take this chance to set the tone
with kindness and vision. A spontaneous encounter could turn into
a meaningful opportunity. Well, good luck with that Virgo which

(01:12:52):
is me. August twenty fourth September twenty three, and solitude
helps you think much more clearly. Some inner clarity, as
well as peace of mind will come through rest and reflection.

(01:13:16):
In a tense situation, take a step back and observe
before taking any action. You will discover a hidden strength
by releasing some old patterns gently. Ooh, it's not really weird,
but that's the one I am most interested in. I

(01:13:38):
don't know what that is Libra Deep September twenty fourth
to October twenty third. Partnerships thrive especially when everyone shows
a willingness to listen. Harmony leads the way, and this

(01:13:59):
suits you. You're happy to share your ideas and ask
for suggestions. Someone close will surprise you with a new
wave forward. If this makes you nervous, be receptive, not reactive.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
By the way, there's some building work going on over
the road, so you might hear a bit of drilling.
Never mind Scorpio October twenty fourth November twenty second. You're
focused and determined and you intend to achieve your current goals.
Yet events today will prompt you to look at the

(01:14:42):
deeper story that is behind your ambitions, taking a different
perspective to these experiences will help change every thing for
the better. Good luck with that now, Sagittaria November twenty
third to December twenty first. Your mind is buzzing with

(01:15:08):
various new and different possibilities. You won't be held back
by your more cautious friends as you are ready for
experiences that challenge and uplift you. A message will reveal
the truth that is worth acting on. Say yes to

(01:15:33):
what excites your spirit cap we Coorn December twenty second
to January twenty. It will feel as if you are
wading through emotional undercurrents. This isn't what you expected from today,

(01:15:53):
but it will be necessary. Don't rush the process. Rising
to the surface holds for value. This is a lesson
in trust. A breakthrough is well within your reach.

Speaker 4 (01:16:12):
Ooh Aquarius, January twenty first February nineteenth. Mixing with an
Mixing with a diverse group of people will lead to
new understandings. It's a day to be curious, not cautious.

(01:16:38):
Curious and take part in conversations around you and ask
plenty of questions. Someone close will speak the words.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
You have been needing to hear and let instinct guide
your responses. And lastly, this is February twentieth to March
to twentieth. It's more the little things that matter than

(01:17:12):
you usually. I'm a virgo. Wow, I just realized I'm
a virgo. Sorry, this is it's the little things that
matter more than usual to you at the moment. A
kind word, a small gesture, or even a slight change

(01:17:35):
in routine could hold a lot of meaning. Remain open
to change for as unexpected as new experiences. Okay, remain open.
This is a long sentence. Remain open to change for

(01:17:59):
as unex expected as new experiences might be. It will
work to your advantage. That was a longer sentence than
I was expecting. I'm not shocked by it. I just
didn't expect it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:17):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
So that's the end of that newspaper. Let's have a look.
Lets should we look at a new newspaper because that
was pretty boring. That was a mirror national newspapers. The
mirror there doesn't seem to be a people for some reason.

(01:18:40):
No people a daily star. So look at a daily star.
Let's we read that the daily Star. Okay, just more
the same kind of stuff. Really, either a Govnichvich is
uh in a Bikili still I don't know why Eric

(01:19:10):
Harder Rickens Monty Python will never reform because their comedy
magic has gone, and so it's half the cast. There'd
be no They're all like in their eighties and stuff.
It'd be no point to reform. They've all had their
own careers, haven't they liked separate? I don't know. It's

(01:19:34):
bearing in mind. I personally think the best thing that
the Pythons did the Monty Pythons was the movies they did.
I preferred them to the TV show, especially The Life
of Brian. That's just one of the funniest movies I

(01:19:55):
ever watched. I watched. It's weird because I actually had
a a hangover. I was, what fourteen, and I shouldn't
have had a hangover, but I did, so I'd been
drinking red wine the night before. It's a proper headache. Anyway,

(01:20:16):
there was no one else in the house because I
was at my uncle's house and they'd all gone out.
So I watched Airplane and the Life of Brian back
to back. So I watched one and then the other,
and I think it's the most I've ever laughed as
a kid, the most Like in one time I was

(01:20:42):
was it was really the needed tonic. Oh yes, and
I just they became my two favorite comedy movies. It
was just hilarious, so ridiculous. Right, you've got another person

(01:21:04):
here that's eating noodles, Camilla Cabello. Right, I don't know
what she's wearing, a corset eating noodles. I don't really
know what that's about. Read it later, piece of Nope

(01:21:26):
has done? You need to unclog the shower. Stop it? Oh,
red card? Right, Nope, Hurricane co We gods talk about

(01:21:48):
the weather. Now, we're obsessed with the weather in this country.
It's ridiculous. Oasis of calm okay oasis, What on earth
is there? I'm so out of touch with new singers.

(01:22:15):
I tried. I tried to listen, right, I tried to listen, Well,
not even try. I listened to I watched some videos
of new new recordings, new new artists. When I say new,
probably it could be anytime in the last ten years,
probably because I'm a little bit out of touch. And

(01:22:38):
I'd say, what's weird is I can really see the
how to explain it? A lot of copied stuff, a
lot of copied melodies, and it's kind of hard to

(01:23:02):
find anything that's really original in a sense of and
you might be arguing, what do you mean like Barbie
Girl from nineteen ninety four or ninety seven? Is that
what you mean by original? Because no one has never
done anything like Barbie gal doesn't make it doesn't mean
it's good, though, does it? Hey, all right, blame me,

(01:23:26):
don't ever go at me.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
It's just I can see how people like Billie Eilish
have just had such an impact on the artists, the
new artists. But then that's always going to be the way,
isn't it. You know, every artist is going to be

(01:23:51):
impacted by previous people. So yeah, a referee counts out
a box boxer as the winner, gloats top humanoid robot games. Really,

(01:24:20):
this is weird. So there's two stories about robots on
the same page. No, there's three. Now this is not

(01:24:40):
a specific page for you know, technology. There's two big
stories and one little story all about robots, which makes
me think they're really preparing us, baby, they're getting us ready. Well,
you know what preparing means. Billy conn warn to fans.

(01:25:05):
So Billy Connley has warned crooks about using AI to
recreate his voice and face to scam his fans. Billy
Connley eighty two, don't worry about it. I do wonder
why people get so caught up in stuff, you know,
when they get older. I'm trying to kind of wind
down now in a sense of what does it matter.

(01:25:30):
There's a seventy year old nay person that lives nearby,
ran in and around, in and around, and honestly he
goes on rants this person about the state of the
country and the politicians and boat people. They it's a

(01:25:53):
big thing at the moment. Boat people, those boat people,
so yeah, and renting. I'm thinking, this is the time
you need to start valuing. There's seventy If you really

(01:26:14):
got time to spend getting angry and getting worked up
over stuff like that, I don't know. I think it's
There was a story about.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
It was.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Well all it was. It was on the internet and
it was basically, okay, Joan Collins did a photo shoot
in a bikini. She's ninety two. But the story it
was just the story written no pictures, and someone put

(01:27:10):
a comment underneath saying, why didn't you put any pictures?
You know, this is to the person that wrote the article.
There was comments on there. Why didn't you put any
pictures of her? And the person that wrote the article said,
because we didn't want to melt the internet? What happened

(01:27:33):
to the internet used to be really good? Yeah, and
they posted some pictures of the thing is right, okay.
Nobody wants to see a picture of a ninety two
year old human in a bikini or in beachwear. I
mean even when they record when all of the stuff

(01:27:54):
was done. Joan Collins was sitting there and the photo
shoe was finished, and they said to her, so, Joan,
I've got to go and go and now. But Joan,
don't you want to see the pictures? It's Joe only
just laughed. Of course I don't. Nobody does. Thanks for

(01:28:17):
the money, honey. Solitude helps you think more clearly. Inner clarity,
as well as peace of mind, will come through rest
and reflection in a tense situation. Step back and observe
before acting. You will discover a hidden strength by releasing
old patterns gently. So that's my virgo, same person, same day.

(01:28:44):
He's just reworded it. I'm thinking ai AI. He's put
it into AI right. Uh No, nothing else? I want
all who's that celebrating a rise of a global superstar, Olivia Rodrigo.

(01:29:12):
Never heard of her? Okay, but tell me aiming to
bid time to buy time after first round white bid.
So I've already talked about that in great depth of
my depth, great dpth. What's dentth mean? Did you mean depth? Yes?
Why didn't you say depth? Then? I don't know? Depth

(01:29:35):
came out of my mouth? Are you sure there's nothing
wrong with you? No, I'm not sure. I don't know dentth.
That's not it's not even that doesn't it doesn't even exist,
does it. I don't think. I don't know. It's pretty
meant word for word exactly the same story as the

(01:29:57):
one in the other magazine or the other newspaper. So yeah,
skip through that. I got through that paper pretty quick. Wow.
So what other newspapers is there? The Guardian, International News? No,

(01:30:23):
this is the Irish blimey so this is national News,
Sunday Mail. We don't want the Sunday papers, so it's
only the Daily Express. All about the Daily Mail? Where's
the Daily Mail? Okay, Daily Express? Let's have a quick

(01:30:44):
look through this one. Daily Express Britain ten million, ten million,
really ten million? Britons love young food. Okay, that's the headline.

(01:31:14):
What right, it's a disaster. One woman said to me
her husband is so addicted to bread she sprays bleach
on crusts in the bin to stop him eating, So
to stop him going into the bin to eat the bread.

(01:31:40):
I don't know what to say about that, other than
it's probably not very healthy to be spraying bleach onto
food in a bin, you know, because some one might
come across the bin who is very hungry. Yeah. I
don't know if he wants to eat bread. He's going

(01:32:04):
to eat bread. It's his choice, isn't it. I don't know.
Is there a law about bread? My dude? Now, I'm sure. Oh, look,

(01:32:28):
counsel would let will let staff work from abroad of
four weeks. That's a good idea. Dame Helen Mirren has
said that while she is a feminist, the next James
Bond has to be a a guy. Okay, you can't

(01:32:55):
have a woman. It just doesn't work. I mean, Jamie Bond.
I don't think they're really focusing on the name, are they.
I don't know. I mean, what does it matter? They
get so caught up in that stuff to they Jane's body,

(01:33:17):
he must be a white hitch sexual male. It can't
be anything else. I don't know. I don't know. If
it to me, I wouldn't care. I'm not that emotionally

(01:33:38):
invested in it. I realized change can be difficult for
some people. But blimey, it's just a movie. It's not
a real person, not really. Time capsule farm prefers two
hundred year history. That's not yes? Ooh, what's that joint?

(01:34:06):
A stay active together? Wow? How about this year? How
to prepare your for your teen's party? I do believe
you've already done this, So I'm guessing The Daily Mirror

(01:34:26):
is on the same printers that make the Daily Express
completely same exactly, the same article, same picture, everything that's disappointing,
very disappointing. Same, It's almost the same adverts. Wow, it's

(01:34:52):
very lazy. And Russell Grant is also doing the horoscopes.
What's my horoscope on this one? Have a look, same
day the third different newspaper. Solitude helps you think much
more clearly. Some inner clarity, as well as peace of mind,

(01:35:15):
will come through rest and reflection. In a tense situation,
take a step back and observe before taking any action.
You'll discover a hidden strength by releases some of the
old patterns gently word for word, like before BlimE me,

(01:35:39):
there she goes again, Olivia Rodriguez, Rodrigaler. Nothing else on here, Nope,
just football football football football. Uncle sol sausages would be happy.

(01:36:05):
He loved his football uncle, so he loved all sports.
To be fair, I don't think it was one sport
he didn't love. He just had a real appetite for sport.
I don't. I never asked him why I didn't, didn't
question it. Really, the Guardian, let's have a little quick, quick,

(01:36:27):
quick whistley. Look at the Guardian UK. Right, this is
a more serious paper, so there might not be much
I can really read out of here. Well, wait a minute,
what's the skabiddi? TikTok words make it into the latest dictionary?

(01:36:54):
So scabidi, tread, wife, and delulu are among new words
to have made it into the Cambridge Dictionary this year,
confirming the increasing influence of the TikTok generation on the

(01:37:15):
English language. For those hoping that such neologisms would be
passing internet craze, the compilers of the dictionary are say
that are here to stay. I've never heard the word scabiddi.

(01:37:37):
I don't think delulu or tradwife. I don't know any
of those words. I don't know what they mean. Anyone.
I do know because I've got a young neighbor. She's
twenty or twenty one now, and she's taught me a
few words. But there was one, you know, spamming. What

(01:38:02):
spamming means to probably most people due to the Internet,
you know, so spaming now with the younger generation, it
means when someone keeps texting you. That's called spamming. See,

(01:38:26):
it's hard to keep track of all this stuff. So
Internet culture is changing English language and the effect is
fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary said it's lexical.
Program manager Colin McIntosh. We only add words if there's

(01:38:52):
got to stay in power. Well, I've never heard How
can I not have heard of them? I'm not saying
that I'm every man, you know, I'm not necessarily, but
I'm I'm I'm around, I'm round, i am around, I'm
How have I not heard of these words? Skibad or scabiddi.

(01:39:16):
Older generations and those not on TikTok or just have
to get used to get used to words such as scabidi,
which became popular thanks to the Scabiddi Toilet, a viral
animated video that began on YouTube featuring human heads protruding

(01:39:41):
from laboratories. Really, I've not even heard of that. I'm
on YouTube every day at Children now often use the
word to add emphasis to statements. The Cambridge Dictionary defines
sci biddy as a word that can have different meanings

(01:40:05):
such as cool or bad, or can be used with
no real meaning as a joke. As an example of
its use is, what the spaghetti are you doing? People
older than jen alpha? What the heck all is gen

(01:40:30):
gen x jen z jen alpha. We didn't used to
have these terms when I was not even ten years ago,
twenty years ago. It's issue either young or you're old,
or you're really old. That was it. It's like generate
your generation. I mean, okay, there was the Boomers, the

(01:40:53):
Baby Boomers, which is my dad's generation. But outside of that,
there was no lots of generations or maybe a war generation.
Skibidi brain rot encaspulate encaspilates capsulates a generation fluent in

(01:41:16):
irony but starved for meaning. So this kind of hyper
chaotic media serves as both entertainment and an ambient worldview
for young men raised online? Young men? What about young women?
Their minds, normal eyes, prank as expression. The trade wife

(01:41:43):
phenomenon refers to social conservative influences who celebrate looking after
their husbands, children, and homes. Tradwife. Okay, so it's socially
conservative influencers who celebrate like a traditional lifestyle. And delula

(01:42:13):
is an abbreviation of delusional. It has become associated with
a post truth world where personal beliefs are more important
than reality. Wow. Yeah, I mean there is something in that,
isn't there. He's de lula, your do lula? So yeah,

(01:42:37):
personal beliefs more important than reality. It's always been like
that though, It's just we didn't know, I tell you,
only difference really, I think with social media. I know
I'm kind of part of that being here doing this,
But is before social media came around and YouTube and

(01:43:02):
Facebook and you know, the Internet, really we didn't really
get to find out what kind of opinions people had
other than just those people that you knew in your
friendship group, maybe in your family, and even then perhaps

(01:43:23):
they would keep it to themselves, some strong viewpoints. And
then the Internet came along and for quite a while
it was quite anonymous, wasn't it. You know, the Internet,
people could come and saw whatever they wanted to get
away with it. It's changing a little bit now, but

(01:43:51):
you can. It's kind of weird, especially on YouTube. I
think YouTube is quite a good example, really is. There'll
be a video and I look at the comments and
it's almost like people are watching a different video to me,

(01:44:15):
what they've got from it, what their opinion is it
about it is. It's like you could have like five
hundred comments and seven or eight or twelve or fifteen,
maybe twenty five different viewpoints, and then the other people

(01:44:37):
are kind of either agreeing or disagreeing. It's like how
you've all watched the same video. It's like there's this
if you just put a color on a screen and
people would argue over what color it is. And there

(01:44:57):
was a thing about address, wasn't there a few years back?
What color is the dress? It's green? No, it's not,
it's blue. I don't see a dress. Yes, I'm not
going to finish that sentence, but it's like, you know,

(01:45:17):
it's opinions and emotions over reality, and it's yeah, very strange,
very strange. I can't really go much further into this

(01:45:39):
because it's time for me to go and have a
show and get myself ready for my trip to the
doctor's surgery. And when I get back, I'm going to

(01:46:03):
put this just skipping through it as I talk. I'll
upload this recording or edit it and upload it. So
and I'm going to make another one later, tell you
how I got on the doctors, because I'm pretty sure

(01:46:24):
a lot of you will be very, very excited to
hear what happens next in this story of my exciting existence.
So thank you very much for coming, Thank you for
being here. I'm just wondering if there's a note that

(01:46:46):
doesn't seem to be No, it doesn't seem to be
a horoscope in this paper. No, there doesn't seem to
be no Ah, Well that's all right, it doesn't matter.

(01:47:09):
I've got a read three didn't I That was enough?
That was enough. Well wait a minute, unless there is
no there isn't I could or I didn't talk about
the weather. Maybe I'll do that later. I'll go through
the weather for today. So thank you for listening. Remember
to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy.

(01:47:37):
Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe, lots
of love and someone's banging around outside now bye. Relax

(01:48:00):
in a more deep and meaningful way, maybe in a
way that can not just allow you to feel calmer
now and throughout the time we spend together here, not

(01:48:29):
just relaxed at the end of the recording when it's
finished and you can enjoy that sense of comfort and peace,
but also I think it would be nice to have

(01:49:00):
those feelings of relaxation continue for longer after the recording
has ended, so that you can still benefit from listening

(01:49:31):
to my voice maybe in a few hours time, perhaps tomorrow,
and then by listening regularly, especially if you find like

(01:49:54):
some people do, and myself as well. I sometimes I
find one particular recording that really resonates with me, and
I just listened to it over and over again every morning,
every evening. There was this recording from We're going back

(01:50:26):
to about nineteen ninety nine. It wasn't hypnosis, but it
was a guided visualizations. It kind of was hypnosis, really,
and I managed to find it again and it still
has the same effect on me, And part of it

(01:50:50):
was the person's voice relaxed me just felt so peaceful,
and I'd look forward to listening to her in the

(01:51:14):
morning and in the evening, And I knew before even
pressing the play button that since I've done that, pressed
the play button. This is in the days of CD

(01:51:42):
players pressed the play button. In fact, it might have
even been a tape tape recorder. I'd lie down on
the bed and then even without necessarily listening to her

(01:52:09):
words because I had them memorized. Really, it was as
if my body knew exactly what to do, and the

(01:52:32):
muscles just almost went into automatic relaxation, and I remember

(01:52:55):
my mind would slow down. Now. Now, I was listening
to this recording in the early days of learning hypnosis,

(01:53:18):
and long before I ever made any videos or audio
recordings myself, because I didn't start doing that till two
thousand and six, I knew, I knew how helpful I

(01:53:50):
found being able to just let go, to have that
trust in the person that I'm listening to, knowing that

(01:54:13):
it's going to be just as relaxing, if not more so.
Each time you hear my voice, you may feel the same.

(01:54:38):
Some people have been listening to me for over a decade,
maybe not solidly, obviously, not twenty four hours a day,

(01:54:59):
but maybe people come back. Some people may be listen
every day. And something that I do which you may

(01:55:22):
not realize by listening is when I record these recordings.

Speaker 3 (01:55:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:55:43):
For example, I also am affected by the words that
I say. So if I said to you, focus on

(01:56:08):
your feet, notice your feet relaxing, I will be focusing
on my feet. I will be noticing my feet relaxing.

(01:56:40):
If I said, focus on your hands, and maybe notice
the difference between each hand, perhaps noticed the air in
the room, temperature of the room. On the backs of

(01:57:04):
your hands, you may start to notice what almost feels
like a very light breeze, even though there may not
be any type of breeze at all where you are

(01:57:29):
right now. And as you become aware of your hands,
I'm also aware of how relaxed my hands now. And

(01:58:17):
when it comes to potentially drifting off to sleep, which
may be the reason you're listening, I also feel drowsy

(01:58:40):
when I make these recordings. I also notice my mind drifting.

(01:59:02):
In fact, at times I've actually fallen asleep without even noticing,
and then I carry on talking. It's only when I

(01:59:30):
listen back to do the editing I hear snoring and
I think I don't remember snoring. I remember talking. This
snoring was a pig turned up. That's why I sound

(01:59:57):
like when I snore, how I get read into the
whole experience. I don't know how you feel, how relaxed

(02:00:25):
you feel in your feet, how relaxed you feel in
your hands. I have noticed more and more that the

(02:01:03):
more relaxed, deeper level of comfort you feel, the easier
your breathing becomes. It's almost like that additional muscle relaxation.

(02:01:44):
So this allows you to breathe easier without necessarily focusing

(02:02:07):
on your breath, however, being able to notice the ease

(02:02:36):
in which you breathe so naturally, you breathe so very

(02:03:03):
easily and smoothly. Whenever I imagine my breathing improving, when I've

(02:03:52):
got my eyes closed, tend to visualize a beautiful field
with trees and flowers producing all that life giving oxygen.

(02:04:45):
It feels nice two, if nothing else, just taking some
time away from everything, enjoying that feeling of peace serenity

(02:05:56):
with a joyful heart. Time seems to just drip by

(02:06:32):
so very slowly, relaxed, so deeply peace completely unattached to

(02:07:23):
any thoughts whatsoever. In this moment completely free, noticing that

(02:08:28):
your mind has slowed down. Slowed down because nothing really

(02:09:14):
requires your attention. You can enjoy the physical sensations of

(02:09:45):
allowing the stress to rip out of your body, to
appear out of ev free part of your body, and

(02:10:21):
being released from your brain in your mind slowly but surely.

(02:11:07):
The muscles sing, your legs relax rs really so very deeply,

(02:11:54):
res so deeply. And the feelings, the pleasant feelings in

(02:12:25):
your arms and shoulders, deepening each part of your body

(02:12:53):
further and deeper mhm and deeper mh Noticing the feelings

(02:13:31):
in the back of your neck, the feelings in your wrists,

(02:13:59):
m muscles in front of your body. I all say,

(02:14:56):
feeling peace for deeply there's a sense of peace spreads

(02:15:35):
through your fairy core.

Speaker 3 (02:16:09):
Even when you.

Speaker 1 (02:16:13):
Focus on your mind. Your mind becomes eve and slower,

(02:16:54):
even deeper, relaxing, so very slow, his stomach peace full

(02:18:14):
in your stomach, You're back. Notice Notice how relaxed mhmm

(02:19:01):
you'd now feel.

Speaker 3 (02:19:11):
In the hole of your back.

Speaker 1 (02:19:38):
In spy from your brain all the way down the
middle of your back, sending and receiving millions of messages

(02:19:59):
every day, deep comfort, increasing deeply exed you needy RELs

(02:21:29):
spreading those signals down your spine or cord into air,
every part of your body, your shins and your calf muscles.

(02:21:59):
M m were outbows, feelings of peace and tranquility spreading

(02:22:54):
through your body, tips of your toes, to your eyes,
your fingers, all the way till you'll lower back. Lettinker,

(02:23:33):
rea thinker, peace, drifting mind just wandering away, happy to

(02:24:44):
let go, let go completely, let go, so tranquil, the

(02:25:48):
whole body, enjoying a sense of listening God he for

(02:26:26):
more pur enjoying the space, this space of peace.

Speaker 5 (02:28:27):
And safety.

Speaker 1 (02:28:51):
So very yes, letting go. Maybe we can just focus

(02:30:54):
on the different parts of your body, just to notice

(02:31:29):
a forehead in your eyes. Mutual, so loose, noticing the

(02:32:32):
sense of complete freedom, absolute freedom, day, peace for energy,

(02:34:40):
peace to breathe, so much easier.

Speaker 5 (02:35:29):
Loose.

Speaker 1 (02:35:51):
You may have or may not have noticed your mind's
drifting peaceful me any even more deep in the directtion

(02:37:10):
total bliss for pace, bliss for pace, rafting out to pace.

(02:39:05):
Come so calm, let him go, peace with mind relxed

(02:40:06):
firty so relax c relaxed. Your body feels almost invisible,

(02:41:20):
so very relaxed. I'm peaceful, so peace RELI likever And

(02:42:41):
you could start to notice that you are feeling more relaxed,
even though I've not purposely focused your mind upon that

(02:43:02):
sense of physical comfort that is growing within you throughout
your body, and your mind starts to slow down, and
that could be almost in recognition of I guess my

(02:43:29):
speech not being particularly fast, and things just generally feel calmer.
Just by listening to my voice, you give yourself an

(02:43:56):
opportunity to take a break from the day, take a
break from your life as it is, and to give
yourself a rest, giving yourself permission to take some time off,

(02:44:22):
and to allow your body to relax and allow your
mind to slow down, which in turn releases the tension
and he stresses that you had in your body. It's

(02:44:48):
almost as if the parts of your body just open up,
allowing the negativity out and at the same time replacing
that negativity with positive heathing energy, which then fills your

(02:45:16):
body up and your mind to also starts to appreciate
those feelings of increasing confidence, an almost uplifting feeling, positive healing,

(02:45:51):
an energy that spreads through your body like a wave
of comfort. And all this comes and just allowing yourself

(02:46:16):
a few minutes, maybe half an hour, however long you
want it to be, to just rest and allow your
mind and your body to almost reset itself to the

(02:46:45):
settings of comfort and relaxation, calmness, which allow hours more
room for feelings of pleasure and happiness to move around

(02:47:14):
your body and into your mind, almost as if your
mind and your body are sinking together, almost mirroring each
other with that growing positivity and calmness. And it feels nice.

(02:47:49):
It really does feel nice to know that you are
the one that has allowed yourself to feel more comfort
and to experience more of this deep relaxation spreading throughout

(02:48:22):
your body. And as I focus on each part of
your body, you can notice that that part becomes even

(02:48:48):
more relaxed just by focusing on it. It becomes even
more calm and comfortable, just by focusing. And as I

(02:49:10):
move down your body, starting at your head, the parts
that you've already focused on will continue to relax deeply,
and those parts that we've not yet focused on were

(02:49:35):
just automatically release any remain intention in anticipation of even
more comfort about to come. Now start by focusing on

(02:50:02):
your forehead, just being aware the feelings of your forehead,
and any background sounds like mister Herbert the pigeon can
just allow you to feel even more relaxed. Just means

(02:50:29):
you're in the moment. This isn't this isn't a sterile environment.
This is the world. I live in the countryside, so
there's lots of nature sounds around. So as you focus

(02:50:55):
on your forehead, just notice how it becomes even more
relaxed as you focus only on my voice and that
part of your body. Moving down to your eyes, focusing

(02:51:23):
on your eyes, noticing how your eyelids feel so heavy
yet so light at the same time, and all the

(02:51:44):
muscles around your eyes relaxing completely. Moving your focus down
to your mouth, lips, your tongue, your teeth, and your combs,

(02:52:06):
the whole of your mouth, relaxing, calm and lease. As
you focus now on your jaw, not just the parts

(02:52:29):
of your jaw near your mouth and your chin, but
all the way up the size of your face, to
your ears, the hole of your jaw, feeding more relaxed, calm.

(02:53:05):
Focusing on your neck, the front of your neck and
your throat, relaxing and loose and calm. The side of

(02:53:27):
your neck, the right and left side of your neck
relax and loose and calm, and now the back of

(02:53:51):
your neck. Focusing on the back of your neck, letting
go of any tension that may have been there before,
and enjoying that sense of increasing comfort and release that

(02:54:25):
you can experience in the back of your neck. Moving
down your back and moving either side of your spine
right from the top of.

Speaker 5 (02:54:45):
Your back.

Speaker 1 (02:54:47):
All the way down to the bottom of your back,
down to your lower back. And as you move up

(02:55:08):
and down your spine, you can feel the muscles either
side of your spine relaxing even more. And as those

(02:55:31):
muscles relax, that sense of comfort starts to spread outwards
from your spine into both sides of your back, the

(02:55:52):
top of your back, the middle and your lower back.
And as you again gently and slowly up and down
your back, there's the muscles in the top of your
back relax and become looser. The muscles in the middle

(02:56:21):
of your back also seem to just almost divide from
each other, separating and almost melting. And in your lower

(02:56:42):
back it seems to be an extra special feeling of comfort.
This breads into your hips. Sit down your lower back,

(02:57:05):
get into your hips, into the area where your cosicks
are and into your buttocks, and all those muscles that
spread from your lower back into your hip area start

(02:57:35):
to melt, start to really let go. I don't even
know where about. To focus on your shoulders. Your back

(02:57:57):
and your spine will continue to let go, continue to
relax so calmly. And as you focus on your shoulders,

(02:58:25):
you may notice that they're already feeling really loose, They're
already feeding calm. The feeling those muscles then move from

(02:59:07):
your neck into your shoulders feel so soft and gentle,
so smooth and calm, and the feeling in your shoulders

(02:59:56):
seens to spread deep into your shoulders, that sense of
relaxation not just traveling deeply into your muscles, but also

(03:00:16):
relaxing the bones and moving all away to underneath your arms,
relaxing that whole area between the tops of your shoulders

(03:00:40):
and underneath your arms healing. You feel so relaxed and
comfortable in your shoulders. Who sends that deep healing message

(03:01:19):
into your arms? You may feel almost as if your
arms are not even there, because they're so relaxed, so

(03:01:42):
deeply relaxed, so so calm.

Speaker 3 (03:02:11):
So.

Speaker 1 (03:02:18):
Pose not feeling spreading all the way down your arms,
two elbows, including your elbows their comforts spreads or away

(03:03:04):
into rists of forearmens.

Speaker 5 (03:03:11):
And your wrists.

Speaker 1 (03:03:19):
So heavy, yet at the same time.

Speaker 3 (03:03:34):
So light.

Speaker 1 (03:03:38):
And gentle. Fuk se Now on your hands, my hands,

(03:04:40):
so peaceful in your hands, there's a sense of real peace.

(03:05:22):
It just seems to feel so familiar when your hands
relax deeply. Els a thing is you things, sidles, a

(03:07:13):
thinger tips, Moving your attention to the front, to your body,

(03:08:00):
so comfortable, moving in your focus to your legs, where's

(03:09:37):
muscles in your thighs, your knees, so relaxed, a carved

(03:10:32):
mussels and just shine copused four and the feathing your

Speaker 1 (03:14:08):
Peace, for so calm, loving that deep relaxation, to spread
your chest, in your stomach, so RelA, letting go everything.

(03:15:00):
So I'm going to start counting down now, from twenty
down to one. You can imagine in a way it's
like just walking down some steps and each step or

(03:15:20):
twenty steps, and each step represents a level of comfort,
each step represents a deepening of that comfort. And the

(03:15:45):
fervies you walk down, those steps that are deeper and
more relaxed you feel. Starting with number twenty twenty nineteen,

(03:17:08):
eighteen seventeen sisting three four four s two well.

Speaker 3 (03:23:40):
Five ey nine eight.

Speaker 6 (03:27:59):
Seven si.

Speaker 1 (03:30:52):
Five four four two.

Speaker 3 (03:34:56):
F one.

Speaker 1 (03:36:39):
And now as you focus on your eyes, we're gonna
count down from ten douts one, focusing just on your eyes,

(03:37:12):
your eyelids, the muscles around your eyes, your eye wolves themselves,
a whole area that makes up your eye. And as

(03:37:39):
we count down from ten down to one, whilst focus
in on your eyes, you'll become twice relaxed with each

(03:38:04):
number counting down, and you may find the all you
want to do is just drift off to sleep. And

(03:38:26):
if that's what you want, then just allow yourself to
do that. Now, focusing on your eyes, I'm going to

(03:38:47):
begin counting down from ten down to one right now, two.

Speaker 7 (03:39:32):
Nine fight.

Speaker 1 (03:41:00):
Seven ye say.

Speaker 3 (03:43:04):
Five four.

Speaker 1 (03:45:29):
Three two.

Speaker 2 (03:47:38):
One.

Speaker 1 (03:48:10):
So counting down from ten to one.

Speaker 3 (03:48:22):
Ten nine.

Speaker 1 (03:48:26):
Eight seven six five four three two one. And maybe

(03:48:54):
that was a bit too quick in order to relax.
Maybe it's a bit too far for you to notice
the calming of your body, maybe even a little bit
of pressure there, like you'll count it down from ten

(03:49:14):
to one. Would you expect me to do man, expect
me to stick go floppy just because you're counting down.
We can try it again, but this time I go
this lower. This time, as you focus on the whole

(03:49:39):
of your body before we focus on your legs. Just
notice how your body does start to feel more relaxed

(03:50:00):
with every number that I count down.

Speaker 8 (03:50:07):
Ten nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three.

Speaker 5 (03:51:15):
Two.

Speaker 1 (03:51:37):
One. I just notice how how you feel, generally, how
your body feels. It's not necessarily even about counting down

(03:52:09):
from ten to one. It's that space that you have,
that space between being active physically or mentally to just

(03:52:40):
sitting or lying down, just being there, not doing anything,
not saying anything, or needing to think about anything. So
it opens up a space, you know, a bit of
a space, a gap. And the more I camped down

(03:53:06):
from ten to one, the bigger that gap becomes. So
there's that gap of calmness, of comfort, relaxation. It's a

(03:53:27):
nice feeling, and it moves those stresses or discomforts physically
or emotionally, moves them.

Speaker 3 (03:53:45):
Away.

Speaker 1 (03:53:52):
Allows you to just slow down. Someone to count again
from ten down to one. And notice that gap widening,

(03:54:13):
the gap, and as it widens, it's almost like the
stress and attention falls into the gap gives you that distance,

(03:54:40):
that space. Now ten nine eight, seven, six, five four

(03:56:02):
three two one. How does your body feel.

Speaker 5 (03:56:56):
Now?

Speaker 1 (03:57:08):
Can you notice do you feeling calmer, the feeling more
relaxed as we now focus on your legs, just your legs.

(03:58:08):
We're just gonna start with focusing on your thighs. Of course,

(03:58:28):
it's not the most exciting thing to be doing because
I'm sure, like most of your body is not a
lot going on right now. Just focusing on the whole

(03:58:51):
of your thighs, the tops of your thighs, the sides
of your fighs, the bottoms of your thighs, your outer thighs,
and your inner thighs, basically the whole of your thigh
that leads into your hip and it goes down to

(03:59:19):
your knee joints. Now, this is a big area. It's
a very heavy area, it's very strong. But with the
strongest muscles in your body are in your thighs. But

(03:59:53):
I don't think we perhaps will give enough attention to
our thighs. Perhaps we don't acknowledge how important our thighs

(04:00:15):
are to our lives, how much they actually do for us,

(04:00:39):
all for our lives. And it may seem to sound
really weird, but I think that all of our body parts,
especially our thighs, need some TLC, a bit of love shown,

(04:01:06):
a bit of acknowledgement. I thank you gratitude for what
our thighs do for us. And I know this may

(04:01:34):
sound a bit strange. Maybe you think, why am I
Surely I should be out in the garden hugging a
tree or something. Well, it's hard to set a microphone
up on a tree. That's why I'm doing this indoors.

(04:01:55):
Otherwise I would be outside hugging a tree. I can't
see the television the tree. If you move down to
your knees gaining such an important part, and I think

(04:02:17):
we don't necessarily I'll speak for myself here. I don't
necessarily appreciate all that my knees do for me until
I have a problem with my knee. It's occasionally, if
I ever maybe i'll pash it or it's aching for

(04:02:41):
some reason. It's then that I realize how much it does.
You know, the benefit of being able to use my
legs without any kind of physical discomfort is a beautiful

(04:03:03):
thing that's possibly not appreciated until it's temporarily removed. You
know that's comfort. But as you focus on your knees,
regardless of how your knees feel, you can have that

(04:03:27):
sense of gratitude and love to your knees for all
that they do for you. And you can still have
that attention on your thighs and maybe notice how your

(04:03:50):
thighs feel. Maybe you've noticed that they are relaxing more
deeply as you focus now on the bottoms of your legs,

(04:04:16):
your shins and your calf muscles, the bones between your
knees and your feet incorporate, and of course your ankles
so important. Anyone that's had even the slightest sprain of

(04:04:42):
an ankle knows how how much we take our ankles
for granted. And it's kind of strange in a way
when you think that. You know, logically, our wrists are

(04:05:03):
a lot thinner than the rest of our arms, which
is okay, it doesn't I can't see any problem with
that because we're just picking stuff up. But our ankles
so much thinner than the rest of our legs. And

(04:05:28):
from a physics perspective or logical, even it doesn't really
make sense that all this weight would ultimately be resting
on your ankles then leading to your feet, that thin area,

(04:05:52):
thin bone. Yeah, it does so much great work. Supports us,
supports our body for a lifetime, helps us to balance,

(04:06:14):
It helps you to get around and be mobile. And
there's the calf muscles. Of course, when I was younger,

(04:06:35):
I couldn't see the point in calf muscles didn't seem
to do anything. Okay, if I walked around on tiptoes,
then my calf muscles get some work. But of course
that's not true. The calf muscles are being used whenever
we use our legs and your shins there to protect

(04:07:07):
your lower legs, shaped in a way, almost as a
protector for the bone, leading of course to your ankles

(04:07:31):
and your feet. But we're not going to focus on
your feet. We're just going to focus on the legs.
I realize that now that I've mentioned your feet, it
probably focusing on them anyway, So maybe I should focus

(04:07:52):
on your feet a little bit. You can have them
in your awareness the same as you have your thighs
in your awareness, even though we haven't been focusing on
your thighs. For a few minutes we've been focusing on

(04:08:13):
your ankles. There's still that sensation of comfort in your
thighs and this that movement of energy because the thighs

(04:08:42):
hold lots of different sensations. Of course, there's the muscles,
the big straw muscles that we have in our thighs.

(04:09:02):
But the skin on the outside of the thighs, as
in the outside of all of our body, can be
very sensitive, sensitive to the touch, sensitive to temperature, and

(04:09:31):
inside your thighs the bones, there's the muscle, there's the blood, vessels,
the ar trees, it's all this stuff that's inside your thighs.
And I guess sometimes it'd be nice if you could

(04:09:52):
actually put your fingers inside your thighs and message, So
you can message on the outside, of course, but to
be able to get deep into the muscles and to
be able to just massage inside your thighs, message in
the bones of your leg, massage in or the veins,

(04:10:21):
and just gently healing your thighs, and you could move
down message and inside your knees, just message in those bones,
but with healing fingertips, spreading that healing energy deep into

(04:10:47):
the joints. Of your knees. Of course, there's the back
of your your knee or the inside side crease where
your knee is. It's a very sensitive area. Very it

(04:11:09):
feels very nice when you stroke it. That might be
because it's an area that's not really touched very often.
It's almost like a hidden part, that crease in your legs.
It's almost it's like a part that has a sensitivity,

(04:11:33):
which is a little bit different. Of course, it's protected
by your legs, so you can imagine putting your fingers

(04:11:55):
into that crease in your legs that fold in between
your legs. You can just message with your fingertips, letting
your fingertips going inside, massage in the muscle tissue. You

(04:12:21):
can of course field the bones of your knees, healing
through your fingertips, and then as you go down to
your calf muscles, and that's the part I'd like to

(04:12:43):
be able to really put my fingertips deep inside my
calf muscles, massage in every single tissue of that muscle,
healing every part, and then doing the same for my shins,

(04:13:12):
massage in and gently stroking the bones, gently stroking them,
hewing in a loving way because they deserve to be
treated as the precious bones that they are, because our
legs are so precious as in all the other parts

(04:13:35):
of our body, and more precious of any jure on
the planet. When you start to think about your legs

(04:13:59):
and this way, it can change your perspective. It might
sound a bit a bit silly to start with the
idea of having love for your legs, showing appreciation for

(04:14:25):
your thighs, wanting to be able to put your hands
in your thighs, massage the muscles and the bones, and
to get your fingers deep in there, releasing all tension,

(04:14:50):
just to show how much you care about your legs.
Do you care for what your legs do for you regularly?
Your knees, your calves, your ankles, The strength of your ankles,

(04:15:21):
considering how thin they are compared to the rest of
your legs, especially your thighs. Yeah, they're so strong, so flexible,
absolutely amazing things. Your ankles are truly a gift because

(04:15:52):
of what they do for you, supporting all that weight,
regardless of how what weight you are, even if you
only ate stone, there's still a lot of weight for

(04:16:12):
these little ankles. Now I'm a lot heavier than eat stone,
double down. Yet my ankles support my body all the time.

(04:16:34):
Whether they do give off a sigh of relief when
I sit down, that's got my whole legs do. My
feet feet also go, my toes clap. We're so happy.

(04:17:13):
Your legs really are amazing. And I know that at
talking about your legs is probably possibly among the most
most boring things you've ever heard anyone say. Possibly you're

(04:17:38):
boring or not. Everything I said is true. Your legs
are amazing. Your legs deserve not just respect, they deserve

(04:18:05):
to relax deeply. They deserve to take some time out
of the day to just let go completely. The legs

(04:18:47):
really can relax. And because the legs are so such
a most you know, very important part of your body.
When you relax your legs, the rest of your body

(04:19:09):
also naturally follows in that journey of comfort. I can
feel it in my hips. My hips feel really loose,

(04:19:37):
and also my lower back as well. My lower back
really feels it feels stretched, even though I'm just sitting
in a chair and there's no stretching as far as
I'm aware that I'm doing. It's almost as if the
muscles are just relaxed so much that there is a

(04:20:00):
natural stretch as the tension has reduced a lot. And

(04:20:25):
I'm now going to count down from ten down to one,
and you can continue to feel wonderfully relaxed. Ten nine, eight, seven, six,

(04:21:02):
five four three.

Speaker 2 (04:21:15):
Two what.

Speaker 3 (04:21:26):
Relax?

Speaker 1 (04:21:34):
So I'm just going to count down from five down
to one, and as a countdown, if you just focus
on the numbers, just the numbers counting down, and notice
how you feel in this moment as you hear numbers

(04:22:00):
counting down, knowing that those numbers counting down represent you
feeling calmer, not just in your body, but also relaxing

(04:22:21):
your mind. I just notice how you feel. There's nothing
to do, there's nothing to say, there's nothing to think about,
starting with number five four three two one. Now, as

(04:23:25):
you notice the gradual letting go the tension in your body,
you may also begin to notice and be aware of

(04:23:48):
how your mind is starting to slow down. This is
just a natural thing that it's not really a special procedure.
It's just natural because as your body relaxes, your mind

(04:24:11):
also starts to relax. And the more your mind relaxes,
the more your body relaxes. It's just a continuous circle
of relaxation, and is that calmness that comes from relative quietness.

(04:24:37):
You know, even even if there's background sounds either your
side online, it's still going to be quite calm. You know,
you haven't got the television on, there's no music in
the background unless you're listening to the recorded with music.

(04:24:59):
Of course, you're very likely not going to be sitting
in a room with other people. Of course you might be,
but generally it's more ideal if you can do this
on your own, so no distractions, and when you stop

(04:25:25):
thinking about stuff, relaxation automatically rises. A sense of comfort
starts to grow, and without trying to build it up

(04:25:51):
into something fantastical or something magical, this is just a
natural process, something that's easy to accomplish. In fact, it's

(04:26:15):
almost the sense of relaxing completely happens really when you
put no effort into it. It's not something that you
can really force. It's something that happens naturally. And part

(04:26:39):
of the process of this recording and others is simply
two allow you to take advantage of this space. This time,

(04:27:05):
it's just let go to just be here, to be
in tune with how you feel. Yet with the intention

(04:27:32):
of wanting to relax deeply and maybe even to fall asleep,
depending on what it is that you wish for yourself.

Speaker 3 (04:27:52):
In this moment.

Speaker 1 (04:28:00):
As we know, relaxing is the majority of the process
of falling asleep. The actual falling asleep part is the
tiny bit at the end. The deeper relaxed you become,

(04:28:26):
the easier you find yourself drifting. But you can also
if you choose, stay focused on my voice and really

(04:28:54):
enjoy the process, gradually relaxing each muscle in your body

(04:29:29):
effortlessly and just observing the sensation of letting go completely.

(04:30:04):
This time, I'm going to count from six down to one,
and you can notice your mind calming down more with
each number that you hear me say, naturally, feeling calm

(04:30:37):
and slow and be peaceful. Six five, four, three.

Speaker 5 (04:32:46):
Two what.

Speaker 1 (04:33:36):
Being aware tell your mind to slow right down, sinking
deeply into relaxation. And as you focus on your mind,

(04:34:13):
you may notice that there are some thoughts still there,
maybe some stubborn thoughts that for some reason perhaps need

(04:34:35):
your attention.

Speaker 9 (04:34:42):
That's what you can do is.

Speaker 1 (04:34:49):
Send love to those thoughts. Sprinkle those thoughts.

Speaker 2 (04:35:01):
With love.

Speaker 1 (04:35:04):
I all petals from a flower, Just sprinkle it over them,
petals filled with love towards those thoughts, to let those
thoughts know that you're not abandoned in them. You just
need them. You require them to just calm down, slow down,

(04:35:36):
quiet down, and now, so as you focus on those
remaining thoughts as we count down this time from seven

(04:35:57):
down to one. With each number, just imagine sprinkling those
flower petals of love, kindness, gratitude over those thoughts, which

(04:36:26):
will allow them to just melt away and relax deeply.
With every number, those thoughts will become more and more relaxed.

(04:36:56):
Starting with number seven, six, five, four, three one. Let

(04:39:28):
you now notice how relaxed you're feeling in your body.

(04:39:53):
We're going to focus on your head. It is the
more relaxed your hands are, the more relaxed your body

(04:40:13):
and mind are. And there's you focus on your hands

(04:40:34):
and your fingers. There's nothing needed to be done. There's
no clenching of fists or dance in the fingers or
anything like that. Yeah, it's just noticing and focusing on

(04:41:03):
your hands, noticing how they feel. Because the more relax

(04:41:32):
your hands feel, the calmer your mind feels, and the
more comforts you feel throughout your body, and you may

(04:42:01):
have already noticed you mind is starting.

Speaker 5 (04:42:29):
To dress.

Speaker 1 (04:42:44):
Like sense just on your hands and fingers, allowing them
to experience a real deepening of that relaxation.

Speaker 10 (04:43:12):
In your hands and fingers, more and more relaxed. With
each number.

Speaker 1 (04:43:39):
From eight.

Speaker 2 (04:43:42):
Down to one, you can.

Speaker 1 (04:43:49):
Almost view that healing and relaxing energy spreading into your
hands and the things becoming e lare relaxing with each

(04:44:19):
number year going down from eight down to one, drifting,

(04:44:41):
drifting again starting with number three.

Speaker 11 (04:45:04):
US seven.

Speaker 12 (04:46:43):
Four three, just being here now, nothing to think about,

(04:48:56):
nothing to do, nothing to say, and everything just feels calm.

Speaker 13 (04:49:12):
This is your natural state of being. This is how
you just normally feel when you take away.

Speaker 1 (04:49:26):
All that other stuff that we add, you know, thing
like stress and worry in.

Speaker 14 (04:49:43):
Anxiety, dang's generally thinking about.

Speaker 9 (04:49:51):
Stuff, and you take that away.

Speaker 11 (04:49:56):
This is what we do.

Speaker 9 (04:49:57):
What we do now.

Speaker 1 (04:50:05):
You're left with.

Speaker 14 (04:50:08):
A real sense of peacefulness which comes to you very quickly,
because ultimately it's just a feeling, a feeling of comfort,

(04:50:36):
almost as if you've got inside yourself and you've found
a special place where everything is peaceful, a place where
can fill relaxed.

Speaker 9 (04:50:58):
And your natural.

Speaker 14 (04:51:01):
Sense of comfort, a place where you can be you,
where you can accept yourself for who you are, the
place where you're not trying to please anybody else ever,

(04:51:29):
a place where you can actually not just love yourself,
but in some ways more importantly, you can like yourself
appreciate who you are. That sense of attitude, see the

(04:52:04):
air all around you. That's also a place where you
can actually field the healing energy soaking into your body.

(04:52:32):
Healing energy soaking.

Speaker 9 (04:52:36):
Into your body, the healing energy.

Speaker 14 (04:52:43):
Spreads through your veins, traveling to each every single part.

Speaker 9 (04:52:56):
Of your body.

Speaker 1 (04:53:03):
When you start to realize to actually healing.

Speaker 9 (04:53:07):
Energy, it's not just entered into your brain, it's.

Speaker 1 (04:53:15):
Become part of your brain, and the spinal fluid.

Speaker 9 (04:53:27):
Is now mixed the energy. It just allow you to
feel so much more.

Speaker 1 (04:53:40):
Relaxed and healthy.

Speaker 9 (04:53:45):
In this moment.

Speaker 1 (04:53:51):
But also we start to realize to actually it's happening now.

Speaker 14 (04:54:02):
With that healing, relaxing energy spreading through your body, it's
actually changing your life. It's actually changing the way you're

(04:54:22):
going to feel, not just now, but tomorrow and the
next day.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
