Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello Internet, I find myself looking out of the window.
There's the beautiful sun comes down towards the end of
the day. Well it's not really what it's seven o'clock.
That's not really the end, is it. I've got a
good few hours to go yet, feet up fidgeting with
the nets. I don't have, you know, those sort of
(00:21):
floral nets or anything. So ghastly. It's just a muslin,
white muslin that I have kind of that's that's not
a white Muslim white muslin. Not that I've got anything
against white Muslims. There's a white Muslim we wanted to
hang over my window to keep to diffuse the sunlight.
(00:43):
I would let them, but no, this is a muslin,
and it's just it just takes the edge of that
light during the day when I'm doing things like, you know,
playing music and it's reflecting quite a lot on the
paper and stuff like that, just gives it that little
bit of diffusion, which is much more comforting on the
old eyes. Anyway, I'm sitting here waiting for today's satirical
(01:07):
cartoon to be made by my ai. I've told him
what I wanted to say. I've told him exactly how
I want it rendered, and it's really good. When you
do this, you sort of sit there and you kind
of watch it being developed line by line and it
kind of goes down. So at the moment I can
see Nettu's netatu and trump oh, I think it's finished.
(01:32):
And I thought, well, what bit of way to pass
the time while my AI is busy in the background.
You can make cups of tea. That's quite a good idea.
I made a coffee just now, might make another. But
you know, I thought I might as well do a podcast.
I've had a real day of successes today, so I
launched the first series of shorts. So I'm making these
(01:53):
little shorts every day for YouTube. I do one with music,
and then I'm doing one that is kind of when
it revolves around the new characters that I've got in
the book and clips from the book, things like that.
But what I want them to do eventually is all
slot together. Do you see what I mean? So if
there was say, well, if I do one to day,
(02:13):
there'd be three hundred and sixty five in a year
and they could all slot together and make a film.
That's such a good idea, and it kind of doesn't waste,
the effort that you put in. Do you know what
I mean to make? You know, these shorts which can
be so live for the moment and then they're just done, gone,
(02:35):
dead and buried. And I hate that. It really fights
with my sort of recycling brain and the way I
love to use things again and go to the old
and make it new and you know, pop it in
the wash and redo it. That's what I say about things.
I don't like throwing stuff away. I don't like waste,
and intellectual waste is even worse, isn't it. How many
(02:57):
years have we wasted on social media? A lot grieves me,
It really does. I suppose if you look at it
as entertainment and then you say, at the end of
your life, oh but I really had so much fun,
you know, the what twenty years of my life that
I spent on Facebook, I really enjoyed it. It was
really super I guess if you could say that, who
(03:20):
says that? Who says that? I doubt very much anybody
says that, do they? God? I hope not. But I
suppose you know, we're all different. And if you're you know,
ecstatic about you know, the pleasurable encounters that you get
on Facebook now, mum, right, Mum is eighty two, right,
(03:47):
And she was selling something on Marketplace and she got
a message from this man and he said, I live
really close to you. Could I come and have a look,
and she sort of said yes, I'll give you the
address on Monday, right, And then he sent another message.
It wasn't Saturday night. I'll tell you why that's important
(04:09):
in a minute. He sent another message and it said,
I don't know if I can say this on air.
I bet you've got a beautiful pussy, absolutely horrific. And
I know I'm giggling about it because she immediately phoned
me up and it's horrible to laugh. It was just
(04:31):
that she's so she was so mortified that there was
a part of me that just made me giggle. And
I think what was so amusing was that she was
so horrified by it, and yet we all know that
that's all they do for men. They troll the internet
(04:53):
looking for women to you know, post their vitriol. Upon
I said, well, Mum, what do you expect. You know,
it's Facebook. And I think that's why I was so amused,
because I'm always saying to her, don't use Facebook, Mum,
it really does catch the low hanging fruit, you know.
(05:15):
And anyway, the poignant thing about Saturday night was that
he was probably drunk. And she said, oh, but what
you know, and I said, well, you know, to be honest,
he probably wasn't a gentleman of your age. I said,
he's probably like twenty, you know, and he probably probably
(05:37):
sent that message to, you know, a minimum of twenty
women a night. Because what these men are trying to
get his reaction, isn't it. And they're you know, they're
having a whang over you, replying and saying I'm absolutely horrified,
how dare you aren't going to report you? And that's
what that's what gives them the thrill, the fact that
(05:58):
they've upset you. Anyway, Mom and I were talking about
it and she said, oh, I don't know what the
world's coming to. And I said, Mom, hang on a minute.
In the seventies, we had the police round because in
the seventies you just had landlines. And I remember when
we got our first phone. I mean, I guess it
(06:19):
was early seventies. I don't think it was late sixties.
And it was one of those sort of angular futuristic ones.
In avocado green, two tone avocado green, so the handle
was a different green than the base, and it's kind
of oblong shape. Really sci fi. I quite like one now, actually,
now that I've gone all sci Fi. Anyway, the police
(06:40):
came round and Mum had had It wasn't one, it
was two or three. And all the person that I
ended was breathe. And of course this was I mean,
my mum loves a drama and police are around. I
mean they weren't coming around with sirens or anything. But
we had this huge house. We were quite posh in
those days, and you know, three story Victorian little mansion.
(07:04):
I said, half mansioned because it's so many detached half
a mansion and that, you know, my mum was like
missus Bouquet terribly keep up with Joneses and what have you.
So and they were in my dad's study, which was
as big as my house, absolutely bloody, ginormous, and you know,
(07:26):
comforting mother, who was you know, with her hanky just oh,
for God's sake. Anyway, I reminded her of this today
and she said, yes, but it just seems to be everywhere.
And then we discussed that the Internet is causing it
I don't think it is. I think it's just making
(07:46):
it easier. But you know, I mean you have to
The thing is you have to laugh because of the
ridiculousness of the behavior of these type of men who
I have nothing else to do. But you know, I mean,
(08:06):
what's the word for it, going around doing that to
old ladies. There was probably a word for it. It's
probably a thing. So it's probably a kink all of
its own. I don't know. Oh my god, anyway, so
where was I? Oh? Yes, now I've started my shorts
and I absolutely bloody loved it. It's taken me all
(08:31):
day to make a thirty five second video with the
hell of my AI of course. So we've got a
frame for it, we've got the right size, I've got
the right voice. I had to go and find an
AI voice. I really like her. So I've designed the
voice for the pause, which is a personal operating system,
(08:52):
and I'll use her for all of the others. But
we've created all of my character pages for the characters
in the book. It's just absolutely brilliantly productive day, really productive.
So I'm thrilled about that. So tomorrow is a new chapter.
Not in my life although sort of kind of, yeah,
(09:14):
why not, I'm going into film. I'm officially a filmmaker.
I did my first film today, albeit thirty five seconds long,
a film, it is, and it's it's kind of launching this,
you know, this new trajectory, and I love working with film.
I'm completely forgotten because I was doing stupid shorts. You know,
(09:35):
when you don't have an idea, you just turn the
camera around and do stuff yourself. At least that's what
I did. I thought it's cheap, I'm there, it's doable.
And then as I got a bit older, I just
sawt go, this is surrendous and I didn't want. A
fly just came in. Come on, Romeo, you can do
better than that. My cat actually hit it. He's really
(09:57):
good at catching flies. Right, he's off, he's on. It
is on. It is wandering around the room looking for
it anyway. You may or may not hear the buzz,
and it keeps coming near me. Go on, Romeo, get
the fly, for goodness sake. That's going to keep him.
That's going to keep him active till the fly dies,
(10:20):
which will either be because it passes out due to
the end of its life cycle or because he's eating
it one or the other. It's a good job we
don't kiss cats, isn't it? Yes? Anyway, the new trajectory.
So you know, clearly I need to motivate viewers to book,
you know, to come to the tail Turner Club social
(10:42):
media platform and the only one I want to use
now is YouTube. I don't want to use anything else.
YouTube has all my podcasts on it, it has all
my movies on it. It's going to have all my
new shorts on it. Why bother with anything else? Do
you see what I mean? So, yeah, I really wanted
to start something exciting. And I actually said to my AI,
(11:03):
who's as good as my husband now? Because I spend
all my waking hours with him, in fact, more more
than my husband. No, I suppose I used to share
a bed with my husband, so sleeping time would be
with them as well. But actually, one husband I had,
we didn't live together because we couldn't bear each other.
We just said no, let's not live together. So after
(11:24):
the wedding we nearly split up. I think we split
up ten days after the wedding, and then we had
some sort of reconciliation, but we decided to work living
together was just not going to happen, so I'd sort
of stay with him twice a week overnight, and even
that was too much, and we went our separate rate
ways quite soon after. Although he didn't divorce me for ages,
(11:49):
not because he really loved me, he just couldn't afford it.
Isn't life funny. Life is such a gas, it really
is anyway, So you new life, new trajectory for me.
I'm going to work on my image as well, because
I've been thinking about how. You know, I also quite
(12:10):
nice when I go out, even if it's just a
coffee to put the rubbish out, because I've cleared the
house ready for decorating. It was fantastic, guys. Honestly, my
swinging chair hasn't arrived yet though I ordered a swinging
chair from Timur and it still hasn't arrived. I will
go and see where it's at, and obviously i'll take
(12:30):
photographs of that when it comes to put them on
the rog. But you know, real life is starting to
factor less in all of this. I'm very keen to
be a total homotech. I want to be part digital
and part real life, and I want the real life
(12:51):
to be really private, special to just to myself. I'm
not interested in sharing it with anyone. Okay, Mum and
my brother and maybe some odd family members when they's
get together. We do have a few get togethers, usually
have a birthday or something, talking of which one of
(13:11):
my grandchildren has a birthday to day? Yep, so quick,
don't they like? Oh my god already? Although I do
forget how old they are, I have to ask or
what I usually say. Actually, guys, this one works. I
say to Mum, are you ask them because you're older
and they don't expect you to remember? So Mom says,
(13:33):
And then we get the age right, Not that it mattered, Well,
it does kind of matter, doesn't it. When you're going
on Amazon and you've got to buy a present for
an eight year old or a five year old. You know,
it's quite a big difference, isn't it. No small parts,
No children under ten, over ten, no under ten. Yeah,
and you've bought them, you know, some Macanno set and
(13:55):
they're too young to use it. We'd never do that. Well,
they mostly go else and the boys very creative. In fact, guys,
I sent my grandson a pair of my upcycled Converse
shoes and he absolutely adores them. No photographic evidence yet,
(14:16):
I'd prefer that right. I'm going to go and put
up my cartoon, my Hogarthian cartoon on the Political UK
blog if you're interested, and i'll be back later
