Posters – Monday’s Boring Objects – LMBYTS #1491 – Jason Newland – 17th November 2025(duration: 1 hour, 35 minutes)
🎙️ Episode Overview
In this meandering and sleepy Monday’s Boring Objects episode, Jason picks a wonderfully mundane theme: posters and “things I’ve had on the wall,” and then happily wanders off in all directions. Along the way he chats about boxing, TikTok oddities, blue tack, childhood comics, smart meters, bills stuck to walls, and old reviews that still keep him going. Vinnie the red Jack Russell pads around the flat, crunches loudly at the worst possible moments, and stars in a few stories of his own (including a very memorable wee on a neighbour’s bed). The tone is cosy, conversational, and gently self-mocking – ideal background rambling for drifting off to sleep or relaxing in bed with your eyes closed.
🧠 Main Segments & Themes
- Opening Ramble, Vinnie & New Hypnosis Session
- Jason starts by welcoming listeners to JasonNewland.com and reminding everyone to only listen when it’s safe to close their eyes.
- Vinnie has just had his dinner and may snack and potter about while Jason talks.
- Jason mentions recording a separate 30-minute hypnosis session earlier in the day (“Release Intention”) and feeling genuinely relaxed afterward.
- He talks about stats lagging behind, YouTube comments (thanks Tina), and how every new podcast now automatically appears on YouTube in six versions (with/without music, 5-hour and 10-hour editions).
- Platforms, Promotion & A Thank-You to Supporters
- Explains that new recordings are now also going up on X (Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and possibly Facebook, with shorter or full-length video versions where possible.
- Mentions losing old Twitter account details and starting again with a fresh profile.
- Thanks Mary for a kind PayPal gift and invites listeners to send in questions for the upcoming Q&A Friday on 21st November 2025.
- Reflects on how people can listen anywhere – Spotify, Apple Podcasts, his website – and how YouTube is a “slow burner” with around 1,621 subscribers.
- Boxing Chat & “Funny Fights” (Conor Benn, Eubank Jr, Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua)
- Jason drifts into boxing talk: the one-sided Conor Benn vs Eubank Jr fight, how different it was from their first meeting, and why he’d give Eubank almost no rounds this time.
- Breaks down big purses, management cuts, and how 10 million quickly becomes “only” about three or three and a half after tax and fees.
- Discusses novelty fights, especially the planned Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul bout, predicting it will be funny – unless Jake Paul actually lands something big.
- Talks about Jake Paul’s record (MMA opponents, Tommy Fury, Mike Tyson, Chavez Jr.) and why these crossover events aren’t really new, reminding listeners of Ali vs a wrestler and other old exhibition-style bouts.
- Posters, Childhood Walls & TV Heroes
- Moves into the main “boring object” theme: posters on his walls over the years.
- Remembers the last “proper” poster he had as a teenager – pop star Sabrina from “Boys, Boys, Boys” – stuck somewhere he could “wake up to her every day,” and how deeply he believed he loved her.
- Talks about a childhood Bruce Lee poster from a magazine, probably around 1978, featuring images from Enter the Dragon – one from the opening training scene and another from the Hall of Mirrors.
- Reflects on the TV series Kung Fu with David Carradine, how much he adored the calm,...
