Episode Synopsis
#1433 Let me bore you to sleep | Trivia Tuesday | Jason Newland | 16th September 2025
🎙 Title: Let Me Bore You to Sleep #1433 – Trivia Tuesday (Shortest Days, Longest Rambles) 📄 Description (Spreaker-formatted, ready to paste): Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You to Sleep, I’m Jason Newland. It's Trivia Tuesday... or actually Wednesday. I missed Tuesday. Oops. 😴 In this extra-dull, extra-soothing episode, I take you on a rambling journey that begins with the trivia of shortest and longest days around the world — and ends somewhere in a memory of selling comedy albums to a policeman and having cold hands in 1990. Also: Vinny cuddles, night shift chaos, and a Buddhist fire exit incident. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. 🙏

Why I didn’t record Tuesday. The morning is strangely dark. I ramble about windows and needing the lights on.
5:00 – Trivia Tuesday Begins
🌍 Longest and shortest days by country
Ecuador, Kenya, UK, Australia, Iceland, the Poles
Wondering where the moon goes for 6 months 🤔
30:00 – Memory Lane (Night Shift Jobs)
My double-glazing canvassing job in 1990
Working night shift at a meter factory
Trying to do two jobs and sleeping like a vampire
55:00 – Living with My Dad
Staying at Dad’s while working two jobs
Heating issues and blackout curtains
How many towns were involved in getting me to move out?
1:05:00 – Comedy Dreams & Video Players
Selling all my comedy stuff for £250
Trying (and failing) to learn stand-up from tapes
Buying a broken VCR from a “friend”
1:20:00 – Vinny Gets Affectionate
Vinny cuddles up on my lap ❤️
I wonder if he’s just accepted his fate...
1:25:00 – Outro
Realizing I’ve completely abandoned the trivia
Reminders to be kind to yourself
“You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel safe.”
🐾 Special Guest: Vinny the dog – occasional barking, cuddles, and sabotage.
