Ray Guns, Glastonbury and Elvis Lives In Hull - It's The Wrap Up

00:00 From finding Elvis in Hull to Glen's brain being controlled by Trump, my son smoking me over 5k and everything else in between it can only be one thing. Yes! It's time for the wrap-up. Roll theme... Welcome to The Jonnie Jensen Show where modern dads discover how to create the true riches relationships and results they deserve Get your High Value Man blueprint and join our community at highvaluemanproject.com Let's go Hiya! Hello, Glen. Good to see you. How are you doing? Good to see you as always Jonnie it always feels too long even when it's only been 30 seconds in the green room I know Do you feel more celebrity-like by me putting you in the green room and then bringing you out? I do but I wish you'd like provide champagne rather than me having to bring my own tenants or is it Castle Main Forex? Castle Main Forex

01:00 Big four litre bottles of Thunder Cider. Yeah, a bit of White Lightning or some MD 2020 or something that's what you need in the green room that's what gets you going The Americans have got like trashy beer so I think I forget... Jonnie, Jonnie, Jonnie, I'm gonna be honest and i know we've got American callers but can you name a good American beer? There's that Boston... I can name some expensive American beers. Have I mentioned, what do you say? When I was looking for the most expensive beer in London right so the average beer in London is about what seven quid £7.50 which frankly is mental! What do you think the most expensive beer and it IS an American beer so it is relevant go on give me a guess

01:54 As a pint, I'm going to guess without being ridiculous. I'm gonna guess £13.50. Oh keep going up! £17. Keep going up! For a pint of beer? 20 quid?! Honestly this is gonna take awhile keep going. 40 quid! 80 pound and 30 English pence for a pint of American imported craft beer can you imagine handing over 160 notes and getting two pints back good God, that would have to be one hell of a bar mate. Were you in one of those like strip bars in Soho where they make you give your credit card over before you order? Give my credit card? I think I've given away three of my children! Honestly it was great pun though

02:39 Oh, we've talked about that before. The oldest trick in the book! Yes free drink on arrival just give us your credit card and we'll look after you all evening. Anyway I've derailed your intro Jonnie. So well no what i do need to say is um... We are using Riverside for the first time so uh.. To anyone watching on the live or listening in if we appear to do anything weird and disappear inadvertently that's probably what's going What's it called? Streamyard doubled their price so we've had to bail. Either that or the authorities are onto us. You know, Trump has finally got the CIA and I think they did a forum once...that's their version of MI6 isn't it? The CIA have finally got to us and impregnated my brain with some sort of mind control device and shut me down! That is what really happened if we go quiet. Okay that is definitely a tangent

03:35 What have you been up to Glen? That has your conspiracy theories and mind ray guns for the mind. Well, firstly I've been drinking. I'll come on to why i've been drinking in a short while but I did pop-up to And It gives people free speech and free mental thoughts, and they wanted to get rid of that so they banned it. Every government in the world has agreed to ban this exact hertz of sound or some kind. You know when you say I love her dearly? She's brilliant but my god that is mental!

04:32 I know, but i keep seeing on the old Facebook about chemtrails and people they seed the sky to block the sun and that's why you can have a nice sunny morning in an utterly cloudy afternoon. Yeah yeah fuck weather! Fuck actual normal natural phenomenon this is all about the government with a capital T and a capital G and a capital idiot So you're...you're in the no cap? They're not...they're not seeding the skies and messing with I 100% know. Only because, I know how hard it is to do any form of governance – I've worked with government and in public sector for a fucking 20 years – they can't even get the tea order right! There's no way they can maintain a global conspiracy against anything – they're too incompetent and that's the good ones let alone the morons who are in charge these days

05:27 But the bloke in Florida, Santos guy he's now made a law that you can't sow your seed in the sky. I think most airlines have had that law for quite some time and they do monitor usage of toilets for that exact issue right? Oh man, so okay. Well that's a bit of a dead end really we don't know much about that but a few friends of mine post the stuff and it is twisted when you see all those crisscrossing things in the sky We never had that when we were younger I mean frankly what we literally did is simply super heated vapour coming out of the back of jet engines which heats water vapour which is in the air and turns into clouds And then they dissipate It's literally science But you can't change opinions with facts

06:14 Okay. I'm gonna... there was a whole protest up in London last weekend actually so we should have got you up there like the opposing voice. Here comes Glen walking through! This is great because the truth doesn't care about idiots opinions, the truth is the truth and it doesn't care whether they think that their brains are being controlled so they have to wear their tin hats. The facts are the facts But of course, that's what I would say because I've been mind controlled by the government clearly to believe in science. And I'm putting air quotes around science here because you know that that's the done thing in the moral community. I think if you're going all-in on conspiracy theories you have to go all-in and you can't just do like The Daily Mail version

07:07 Because then it's really got no substance to it at all. Talk about that, Jonnie! Well I can't tell you about it because you're into it... But you've gotta do your research, Jonnie. Have you have you got a favourite conspiracy theory? I think, well i love the moon. Well, I don't know much about it you know like did they land on the moon? Did they not land on the moon? Oh yeah! The fact that they can see the shit that's on the moon that they left there with a telescope... That doesn't matter right?! No, I get that but that's kind of what baffles me about it as well. There is like hard core evidence to suggest that we could be wrong

07:43 I do love the fact that... I guess what, um, JFK. Is there a conspiracy? There must be a conspiracy theory. Oh shit tons yeah yeah it was the CIA it was an inside job he's not really dead all that sort of good stuff I think Alan Partridge may have shot him at some point. Um, I'm-I was probably involved frankly who knows Elvis! Yeah Elvis shot Kennedy. Elvis shot Kennedy no imagine he's alive imagine He started to be the bin man in Hull or something like that because he just got fed up with all the fame. Wouldn't that be awesome if he chose of all places on the entire planet, to retire too, so get out of the limelight, he chose Hull? And a beauty about it as well is he could go and do all of Elvis' kind of tribute acts and nobody would believe that Elvis would live in Hull! So he could just BE Elvis

08:38 And Elvis is who you want to be and nobody would believe him. One of the best moments on a bus in Brighton of my life, so not only was it on a bus good moment on a bus it happened to be in Brighton right? So I'm get on the bus with this guy Old Bloke Like my dad was 82 last week, right? So he's old. So it wasn't like that old but he was like retired guy because yeah his pension is bus pass right so he gets on and he flashes the bus pass here and I clocked his bus pass because he's in front of me right and it is clearly a picture of Elvis. On the buspass? Yeah yeah on this bus pass a picture of Elvis oh that's bloody genius!

09:21 If you really squinted your eyes and desperately wanted to believe it was him, it could have been a picture of him in his youth. So then he comes further down the bus and I'm like, Oi mate! Why have you got a picture of Elvis on your bus pass? So then he looks at me and starts laughing. He goes, I just like to fuck with the bus drivers. Oh, you want to be like that when you're that age right? You really want to fuck around with everything who's going to question you! You can get away with so much shit when your old. He said some of them go excuse me sir i think you should get a more updated photo. They don't actually question isn't that Elvis?!

10:02 What photo do you reckon you're gonna have on your old age pass? Because it's got to look roughly like you. I'm thinking what, Jason Statham for you some sort of guy with no hair but a body like a Greek god that's gotta be you right Jonnie? Yeah well if i went old school could be the guy that played Herman Munster in... He was famous don't even know his name. Celebrity Me! Celebrity me? Yeah, unfortunately it probably would be someone. Someone bald and someone a bit... I probably do look like Jason Statham actually or he looks exactly like that. Totally! Except he wishes he had your body. I'm still fit. I'll tell you what though if you saw my socials, I guess you're prompted in my post from yesterday My son absolutely smoked me on a run last night How long was the run?

10:53 6K. If you follow me on Strava it's the good old river run, which is along the river and up! It's pretty good so I like to name my runs on Strava. Back at uni me and my mate used to have those little three-and-a-half inch discs we used to name them Bowel dust. Anyway, so go for a run. So he says to me and this doesn't happen very often throughout their life... He's 15 now Rosie is 13 so I would say let's go running you want to come running? No or just constantly exercise we did do part-run junior for awhile anyway so he's been pseudo getting fit not actively doing press ups or too many things like that but even training to try and get into an academy football Academy soccer Academy

12:04 And for all those World Cup, Soccer World Cup fans watching and tuning into our show tonight. He's been trying to get into this academy so he's been training like four or five times a week so and I literally has for about the last three months So he says to me do you want go for run? Yeah come on then! And I was actually doing stuff but when your kid says do you wanna go for run When someone your kids says do you want to do something together You do it hands down Stop what you're doing Yep Say yes because There's only so many times they're going to want to do that, right? Yes. You don't know how many times they're going to ask again or how long it's gonna be and you just say yes. So I stopped what i was doing and there we go... The first thing I noticed was as we get outside and went, I'm like, you've grown again! He's 15 he's gonna be 16 in September. He's pretty much eye-to-eye with me now right yeah

12:57 And so anyway, we start running. Now normally and historically the run would be him behind me going slow down, you're always like... basically telling me that I make his life hell by it now We've had runs before where it was like tears and stuff which Frankly, Jonnie I've been on a 10k mud run with you. I'm exactly in Jago's shoes on this one! You were evil... you were like.. you'd run ahead and then you'd wait for me to catch up and then you fuck off again. And I don't get rest and you're just hanging out relaxing. I'm dying!! And you'll just say oh no this is fine this is great we can do this. Yeah it was only in hindsight that I realized what I had done there but but no to be fair you are going so slow that didn't think

13:41 We set off on a pace right now I've been doing this 6k run takes me just under half an hour, right? So we start out now you a couple of about three years ago. I'm out of breath, right? And I go dude. I'm pretty sure you're waiting for me just go and he just flippin disappears into the sun like Sonic, you know like it's that mixture of horror and pride.

14:22 Whatever, the next half a kilometre I was catching my breath back because it was then that I realised how fast we'd been going. And he just literally sped off and he's never been fitter than me, never been faster not even close so I was buzzing and it's because like you said he has been trying to get into this academy and he has been selected is now in this Academy. Ah congrats! That's good news I did the same thing. So, was it last weekend? Two weekends ago we did a 10k. Samia the Mrs., she wanted to do it because she likes running because she's some sort of freak

15:02 I don't trust people who like running. You lot are weird, you know? I get a runner's high and endorphins! Bullshit it's pain and it's horror and its boredom but she loves it so we did this 10k sponsored by Tottenham actually which was absolutely lovely let me just cancel that Cool. So I don't have someone ringing it. So yeah, we did this 10K sponsored by Tottenham Hotspur. You met Ozzy R D'Lez he gave the medals out at the end. Oh epic! So cool! But invited my boy because you had to be over 18 and like Jake, he's a footballer, you know? He's been playing football since he was kid. He's super fit. He runs... My best...I've never been a runner but i'll knock out of 5k in about 25-26

15:47 He's already doing 23s without even trying. And we ran off and within about 3k, 4k or something like that I looked left to me, he passed me running backwards. However the good thing though is within the next 500 meters 1000 meters he turned and rolled his ankle on the grass which meant that yeah you really slowed down which meant that i overtook him which means i now have a 100% race win record against him and

16:23 And I'm pretty sure I'm going to retire on that note, because there's no way I'm gonna beat him under normal circumstances. He's way faster so yeah i might just hold my hands up and say that's it! I retire...I win but I'll hand over the batting team gracefully. I think that sounded like a foghorn leghorn car- I think I've seen that cartoon? I said boy oh yeah But he's rapid. And he's a shit because he doesn't train, he doesn't try... He's just quick like Jago! You know these kids that just like being fit and healthy rather than drinking round the back of their shed? Jago hasn't been. He plays football but he hasn't been super-fit plus there is this sort of age to testosterone to height to everything ratio strength ratio By the way is this the son that got my boy absolutely hammered on New Year's Eve? Almost certainly yes

17:17 Yeah, I mean all of my kids were probably more than a little bit merry. But yeah Oliver was certainly handing out the shots as if he'd bought them. Yeah well they went to the park with that whole bottle of tequila rose. So you know that first drink that you never drink again because of the horror experience you had? For me Southern Comfort is mine right so now Jago can't even drink a flipping strawberry milkshake He's been like poisoned by tequila rose. He can't even see the bottle basically. Oh, does it turn his stomach that much right? By all accounts about half an hour before we left they went to the park I don't know how far the park is from your house went to the park and between the three of them necked a whole bottle of Tequila Rose so when Jago got in the taxi he was like

18:13 I'm so happy That it happened almost in a controlled explosion, basically. Crash test dummy situation basically we were there it was all cool I could see what he was doing I knew in my own heart of hearts that that was going to be his most like his baptism of like what happens when you get really hammered and can't see and throw up for two hours

18:54 And so that was it, New Year's Eve. Your house! So you can wear... like I get you a t-shirt? It happened here. Honestly, I feel honoured and privileged and if you're gonna fuck up a drink better to fuck up tequila rosé than a good drink You don't want to fuck up scotch or southern comfort or something which is actually not the same. That was my one, I ruined it. Ruined it. Absolutely ruined it So there we go, so that happened basically. I was proud it was a moment we got to the end you know what's really funny when we got to the end there was banter. There was like good as i did what you would like uh what time could you have done that in he said i don't know i don't care plus he runs like a remedial he runs on his toes

19:39 Oh I do that and it's hard because like the toes give you more power so when i was young, I ran for it because that gives you more speed. But now my calves are so old that they won't take it! So having to retrain myself to run heel first like a f**king slow person...I'm not a fan I'll be honest. Well okay so look that's running right we're getting well into..we'll save more of that chat for our Running Podcast which I went out, out. Out-out two months ago because it's been a while we've actually missed apologies to the gang we missed a couple of months actually for the wrap up We're supposed to be doing a wrap up every month basically at least um again we wrap up the month and during lockdown we were wrapping up every week Bank holiday May bank holiday Went out on the Saturday to the Albion which used to be a rockers pub when i was a lad

20:36 It's now quite an ice gaff and there is a group of DJs in Maidstone, all sort of our age, oldies called The Vinyl Countdown. They keep doing parties it's bloody brilliant! Outdoors on the terrace packed about 200 people absolutely brilliant And then the next, oh and also the good thing was finished at half 11. I was about to say was it one of these because i've seen these things where you...it starts sort of 5pm finishes a 10 pm so people could be in bed by 11 yeah? So you get a day out and then you get night in at the same time! I think this feels like genius. I'm totally on board with it is very very good um

21:16 And then the next day, it was a bank holiday weekend. Another old mate who's more his sort of funk and groove and stuff like that... another pub! Their bin no not the bin that's one for Saturday they have The Bell in Bearstead. Darin Watts and Laz A whole afternoon, even more people. You literally couldn't get in the place! It was so cool! Yeah it was a sunny day right? It was a sunny day so it's kind of like perfect storm basically but...it was literally back to the time of four or five deep at the bar stood at the bar for so long that you actually got into banter with the people at the bar Honestly I'm alright with that because I get really fucked up I get really pissed off when people start queuing in a line

22:03 I know in my head that is technically, I agree it's the most efficient way of making sure everyone gets it. It's the fairest way! But no, there's an art to being served at a bar and you need everyone jammed up. And you kind of lean forward at 45 degree angle when you're waving your card or your cash or whatever... You trying to catch their eye? If you've got a nice like chest like me, you might shove it up so that they might grab their attention with your boobs but it's an art form to get them served on these bastards are robbing our children of that skill! I'm so on board with that The utter bedlam of a bar four or five deep. A hundred odd people, two hundred people, two bar staff!

22:46 They're just knocking out pints like bosh, bosh. People waving tenners in here. Imagine now you'd be waving and they would be flipping Harry Enfield. I know exactly where your going to beep it but the amount of money you need to buy around now you'll be like Harry Enfield. £18 a fucking pint? Yeah yeah! I've got three inches of beer that's all it is. Three inches of cash how much can I get for that? I think people are going out again. It seems shit to bring up the flipping c-word and lockdown stuff, but it was a bloody long time ago now! It does seem like people are going out again now which is awesome. I've been going out for a lot recently and i've got so much coming off...I saw that I was in Leeds to see Tim Minchin at the weekend. Who sits at the piano and makes

23:39 Funny other songs. He does, he's an incredible musician a comedian he wrote Matilda he's just one of these annoyingly talented bastards um he's just got a person... he's the sort of man who 2 000 years ago that I've ever I've made a religion about him because he's that sort of inspirational bastard. But yeah, he's brilliant. You went all the way to Leeds! I went to Leeds! Because I... And annoyingly... But this is annoying because he had a tour going on, Walthamstow sold out instantly We thought okay well let's just go up to Leeds to see him there because that's where we could get tickets and then he put more bastard days on in Walthamstow which is only 10 minutes away from my other outlet

24:22 So yeah, I've got Skunkinancy coming up. I've got Smashing Pumpkins, Block Party, Dodgy... I'm going to bloody Wimbledon next week! Wimbledon!! I don't give a shit about tennis. On a jolly? Work jolly or something else? No, no just... Remind me to talk about work in a moment but yeah no it's just my other half got tickets and a ballot and my mum is mental about tennis like she knows the name of like can you name five current tennis players i certainly can't i don't give a damn! Curious, is he the Aussie British guy? Yeah that's one.

25:06 Okay. Can you name four more? Oh, um no I can't uh the tall Goran Niven isn't he still doing it? Mate as masters! No that he was in a 1998 final or some shit like that yeah he is not a current player What's he called they're all bloody tall aren't they there is someone who's one of the old guards still left in there Exactly, that's it. There is Old Guard but I don't know anything about tennis at all and frankly i don't care but my mum she is obsessed with the game in the same way that I'm obsessed with football or Formula One But she has never been to Wimbledon and now I've got tickets we're going to Centre Court

25:51 And I... Are you taking her? No, because it's me and my other half. Like, I don't really care about it but you know when you say no to that thing so then what do I tell her? Do I just rely on the fact that I might not be picked up by the TV cameras cause she is damn well going to be watching Oh dear! Oh I'm stumped. I think errr....I think you should have tried harder to take your mum at some point in her life You chithead! But at some point I'm real. The thing she loves most and you could have queued up, you could have got in the ballot... You could've done but don't give a shit about tennis man! I care about tennis less than i care about running which is really fucking not at all so I'm gonna make it I'm taking her to Rome for her birthday so hopefully that will make out to her yeah and the Rome Masters which will be on at the same week just some car park

26:49 So tell us about work, what's happened at work? Ah mate it's been... if we'd have recorded this episode two days ago I'll tell you. Mate it's tough! It's hard out there. But I reckon if I can make it through till November, which is when all the...I sell tech in the public sector and all the big government frameworks are up for renewal and put all the applications in they will mature and come online in October-November. And that's when shit tons of opportunity comes out. Another said like so if I could make it through to then that'd be great however as

27:30 We've got an earn out coming out. Our company's been bought and We need to just, this is our last bit of earning money for the owners. So we're cutting everything so this time yet not this time but yeah yesterday afternoon I had a chat with him and said yep we're gonna discontinue, de-prioritize in a public sector. So i am now on the hunt for new job because uh yeah I'm now as of next month unemployed which is kind of it's a crap way to be spending your summer right? Well What a platform to put your CV out there. I think it is, this is a good opportunity. If anyone's looking for someone who has got opinions without knowledge and who has got massive

28:21 personality, and knows a few interesting people. And some things about tech in the public sector... Call me! Call me that's all I'm gonna say give it give me a shout. And can close the deal beautifully like Boris Becker smashing it down the baseline there we go That's a good call back yeah it's one of those weird things where I've been through this before and Trying not to take it too seriously because clearly this is my life and I'm a single dad. Like, I've got no one else bringing in money into the house. I've gotta pay the mortgage, I gotta pay the bills there's gonna be pressure... I haven't got six months of savings! I've got maybe three quarters of a month worth of rent saved up so or not rent mortgage. So there's pressure

29:11 But equally, because I've been through this before. Have I told you about my future me mindset? No but it's going to fit beautifully with the aspects of the high value man 3xc formula for living so yeah go for it hit me! Well I know that every situation currently And all of the iterations of me before has put me in where I don't know what i'm doing. I don't know how i'm going to get out this, I don't know how i'm gonna sort it out... ...I've got no idea what's gonna happen! I don't know where i'm going and I don't know how to fix things. Current me is built shit and a future version of me has sorted that out

29:52 I trust Future Me to sort things out because Future Me has never let me down. So a future version of me in a couple weeks or a couple months is going find a job that pays enough money to pay the bills At all will be good even though right now currently is sitting there thinking fuck what do i do how am I gonna get through this but no idea has to do this do it on my kids, how do i deal with the sad away emotionally process this is an opportunity to teach them about vulnerability is it an opportunity for me to say

30:28 Actually, life doesn't. It's not all linear and it doesn't all go to plan or do I protect them and hide it away and say actually you know what everything is fine but all these things are currently thinking about? I absolutely trust future me will sort this shit out! 100% yeah I don't use that exact language but it is very much like that. That rock solid faith in who you are and the, you know if there's... You know i've not made this up this is stuff that i've read and learned right? It's all the evidence from our past will give you the uh in terms of wins right? If you go back and look at all the times

31:14 Hit a situation where you didn't know what to do next, but you worked it out. Now as twisted and as weird as it sounds walking learning how not to shit yourself right? I'm not sure if I've done that yet! Still working on that... so close! So close!! I don't know why they fired me Yeah, like perseverance. Like you don't know how to drive and then you just second nature. You don't know how... you don't know how to get a job and yet you get one! Whether it's a paper round or flipping pizza delivery or whatever the first job out of you is like oh yeah

31:53 And then you flip in that time when you were skint as a bastard and, and if you look back at it through your life then pretty much the very fact that you're alive today meant that you had to win, win, win over and over again. Overcome, conquer, evolve learn equip yourself move on like... That's the magic of it! It's the weird thing, you know about quantum mechanics and universal energy and all these kind of things but this planet that we're on is built to support us all. So whether it's the sun water food like literally everything is provided so then who are we as humans to think well we're completely different?

32:42 We're screwed when my life's over because she left me or because I've lost my job. Like no, like actually the only reason your life is going to be screwed is if you just don't get off your ass and go out there and make it happen with the absolute faith that I have totally got this. It's an opportunity. Yeah, and it is that horizon right? There's just this mindset of like when Columbus sailed west he didn't see over the horizon he just had faith that's where the land was and you've just gotta keep going and even when you've left all the safety behind you and you're in the middle of the fucking ocean in a storm you gotta think no fuck it

33:20 I believe in this and i know this is going to be right. And just keep sailing west because even though you can't see what's over the horizon, you know there's land! You fucking know it and that's all I've got to do over the next couple of weeks... Keep sailing west, keep making progress, keep doing things which are gonna get me to a land that I can then commit genocide on. Everything always comes back to Trump or Netanyahu, or whatever he's called. Well this is beautiful because actually with Trump I've already got some... so i was a bit worried that it would be easy to fall into a funk in these sort of situations right? If you've got nothing to look forward to and you've gotta make sure every penny is accounted for so you can stretch that out and make sure..I think I probably have about three months before I'm into credit cards and that sorta shit but

34:19 All the way through that, I've already pre-paid loads of activities. I've got loads of gigs lined up. I've got events lined up. I've got a holiday. My other half and i were actually going to Los Angeles to see Oasis play because it was cheaper to go to Los Angeles to see Oasis than it was to get bloody tickets to Wembley So we've got all that lined up and paid for. I've got some stuff to look forward to, and i'm lucky enough that it's big adventure stuff but even if didn't have that, how can I put somethings in the future? How can I arrange something which are cheap or free but give me a little bit of light at the end of tunnel? And not be on an oncoming train this time! Yeah well thats the fire code having balance across your life because you stress about one thing

35:06 And let that be to the detriment of another area of life, then you're screwed. Too many men wonder what's going on like oh I don't know what's going on? Well I can see what's going on! You've let everything go because you're worried about the other thing It happens but that's the whole premise and raison d'etre of High Value Man is Who we are is capable and who we are when we show up as that person is like f***ing magnetic. Like people want us there, people want to be uh and want to include us then that's um

35:43 That's the magic of the situation you find yourself in. You just gotta get out there and make it happen, yeah! So many men they look at it and they think oh I'm just gonna shy away...I'm gonna lock myself away because I feel like a failure actually no f**k it you haven't failed just talk to people share stuff share opinions share ideas share plans because Every time you're talking to someone, firstly you're just normalising the process. You're taking away the unknown and fear about all this and you just don't know what's going to happen. And yet I'm joking about it clearly! I don't think any one of our listeners are gonna give me a call and say Glen, I've got a perfect job for ya'.

36:25 But every conversation I have, there's a chance right? There is a tiny chance that something might come off. So keep talking about things, keep sharing things, keep talking about everything you want to achieve and it might happen in fact that the thinking behind something else I'd already started to do which was before this all happened because it was kind of out of the blue, I wasn't expecting to be unemployed But I'd already started thinking about a side hustle, Jonnie. This is something that i've been wanting to do for ages based on my own experiences of doing exactly that of talking to people about things I want to do and then making them happen Have I told you about my list of things that I want to do? Well we talked about bucket lists on the pod many times yeah so

37:15 But obviously there's been a gap between the lockdown and doing some more recently. What is new that's on your bucket list? Well, one of the things on my bucket list is start a business and so I thought what better way to start a business than to start a business helping people do things on their bucket list And to actually kick it off. So what I've done is, I've started building something called 42 Things To Do because clearly as any geek like me knows 42 is the meaning of life. It's an answer to the question of life love universe and everything right? For me the meaning of life is to live fully! To really give it some

37:57 So what I thought is, I'm building a platform which is basically helping people firstly come up with their list of 42 things to do. 42 things that they would like to put on their list of things and it's hard! It's hard coming up with ideas if I was to ask you off the top your head Jonnie what's a bunch of things you want to do? Have you got some stuff off your head that you absolutely will say I'm going to add this to my list? And the reason I have is because It's a topic inside of High Value Man and the point being is if you don't have these things on the top of your mind, how can you talk about them? And even more to the point is that you get out of the habit of even thinking they exist. So you've got nothing creative, nothing exciting floating around your head so I want to go... some of them are like the obvious ones okay but I don't give a shit right!

38:50 I want to go up some big stuff. Oh that's on mine, yeah, yeah. I also, that Kilimanjaro is apparently quite a mission but not that hard either it's just like a long fucking steady walk is not like going up Everest right? Um um I want to do a skydive. I would love to sail across the... No that's not true! I think I would hate to sail across the Atlantic but I think it's there That's literally exactly my mindset on this. And savings is a really good example because back in the day when I came up with my list of things, learning how to say it was on it and because I kept talking about my lists and sharing things with people turns out

39:33 I knew someone who was a captain of a boat. He said, oh how about we do the round the isle of white race and i'll teach you how to sail? So now I've learned how to sail! I was talking to someone else about it and he said that he'd love to learn how to fly. You know that I'm an airline pilot and I teach people how to fly. Now I know how to fly a plane. I Just post and boast. Here's my list, and I'm going to boast about doing it." No! I want to create something where we can help people do their list. Where we can give them resources and advice and guide us and create a community around that. Where we can hook them up with suppliers. So... Not gonna budge you, jump on doing that soon

40:38 A parachute jump is on my list as well. If I knew that there were 10 people in our region, where we're near Maidstone in the UK... if I knew there were 10-15-20 people who wanted to skydive in the UK that would be brilliant for me to call up a skydiving company and say how about you give us a group discount? And we get a good deal together, we'll do it on this day and that will also then prompt people like me and you So, I'm going to be working on... So you can go to um so i've got a whole bucket list section in the High Value Man project uh process right but i haven't put a tool behind it okay. Um have you tried Replit? That coding

41:32 I'm using Bolt. Bolt.new which is powered by Claude and it's brilliant, I've built the outline of it, just shy of 2000 activities on 42 things to do at the moment people can sign up and and

42:20 You might have some sexy time activities that are on your bucket list, so you should be able to put them on there as well. So yeah and I've built like a Twitter style Blue Sky style social network thing and next up is to get the search engine working and build with the supplier side of things as well because I want suppliers to be signed-up... Yeah they'll plug in, probably on affiliate programs That's where the money is going to come from, I hope. Because as much as I just want to help people frankly if i can make a few quid on the side and help people in the process...I think everyone's a winner right? Like Noel and Liam do a few concerts everyone have a laugh and we'll make 100 million quid! Fantastic! We just wanna give like you know so I'm excited for all this stuff that

43:18 What's Glastonbury this weekend as well? Do you know anyone who's got a Glastonbury? Well, Glastonbury would be on my list of things that I want to do. Because I've never been...I've been to music concerts and festivals but i've never been to Glastonbury. Have you been to Glastonbury Jonnie? I have been twice! Yeah how was it? Uh I loved it. Hang on hang on when was it as well? Was it pre kind of corporate where it was all some wellies and mud? It was right Tipping point of, I think they put the wall up. It was like this year... The second year they were really kind of checking people on the way in and so it would have been about 1998 something like that. No not then, 1997 maybe even 1996 Yeah that's before some of our listeners were born my friend!

44:09 Oh my god, that happened the other day. I was talking to a...I was joshing with a barman about the music and he said yeah, yeah, it's about something random and when this song first came out so I was like fuck off! When were you born then? He goes oh 2002. The thing I was talking about... I don't even know him but I hate the bastard. Ten years before he was even born, not like old you remember or how old were you? No ten years before he was born! And now I like Glastonbury so some people I know they go every year they go there I don't know how you get tickets every year because it's a ballot right? Special code like a little back dodgy handshake kind of thing

44:59 Well I feel like i'm at the stage where, and definitely going to go because next year's a fallow year but the year after clearly they'll run it again. I'm at the stage where I'm willing to pay more to guarantee a ticket and also guarantee that I don't have to sleep on the floor? Yeah there's loads of that now! The old glamping things everywhere some festivals now... It's all glamping There's festivals everywhere. That thing you're going to, the dodgy and the whosiers and stuff that's like in Orpington. Yeah yeah I'm doing that! I'm also going to another one where we're seeing Judge Jules. That feels like a real blast from the f**king past right?

45:41 Oh man, okay so Glastonbury. That's gonna be on TV I've got to probably watch a fair bit of that. I do like a bit of that you know sort of sitting there thinking oh wish I was there but then see the thing i didn't like about it? The thing I did not like about it was the walking! You're going in some miles on your flipping The challenge is that you've got two types of people who go to Glastonbury. You've got those who are just like, I'm just going to wander around and know there's some bands I want to see and I'll kind of go there and it will be nice and yeah i'll see the band then I'll wander over and might miss a bit then you have other people like right At 6.56 we're going to be here and then at 6.57 we have to leave because we have to leave the end of that set so we can get to the front stage of this bit, and then we go here and miss this and they're all fucking scheduled left right and centre! How are you supposed to enjoy that when all your doing is scheduling your time? I know, clearly we've got no bloody clue cos i've only been twice and you never been but I've got a mate I was talking about who goes every year she knows people so they'd do like DJ's in random little

46:46 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Glen, Glastonbury, Elvis, Hulll, Glastonbury experiences to not go with anybody who minds you being off your head and then taking some like flipping just a hoofing loads of acid and drugs. I am there, 2027 i am happy to stand in the field and lose half my brain yeah it'll be fine what's the worst that could happen? No but we just need a 10 day holiday off

47:31 Yeah, but you know future me was sort of out. Like I said it'll be okay! Totally. Changing the subject slightly what i wish my future me could have fixed uh did you see the picture of my car hanging over the wall Dude, that looks scary. That looked genuinely... I mean i know the situation but for those who haven't seen the picture what happened? What the hell happened how did you end up with your car in a kind of Italian job style lads I've got an idea hanging over the fucking edge of a cliff sort of moment? Oh man it was literally that thing!

48:17 We went to Brixton Academy Monday night, took my daughter Benson Boone did an album launch party right so it came up on my 02 priority. Benson Boone album launch party 15 quid a ticket now Benson Boone he's 22 he's like from Texas or somewhere he's taking the world by storm Is that Mills and Boone's brother? That's their nephew actually, yeah. Great nephew! He had that song Beautiful Thing... I can't sing it to you now because its completely gone out of my head but he is bloody good. Good show. He likes to put on a show definitely. It was only 22 so the album launch party and he played the Capital Summer Ball on Sunday So his tickets came up on Friday night. If hes 22 then he was born in 2003

49:06 and And got Brian May on stage with him to play the lead guitar in his, like pop... Bless him. If he's giving these up and coming artists a good chance you know give him Brian May a chance to stand on a stage and get his music heard. Fair play! This is the best bit right? I'm not seeing the video so i might be making more of it than actually was but but I understand he says gets Brian May on stage right and Brian May doing And the crowd are just not really reacting. So he stops the music and goes, hang on a minute or whatever it is... Oh no no no! A Texan cowboy! Hang on a minute boy! Hang on a minute! We're about to rust up a rootin' tune in a minute here we go! I see, i see, i see!

50:02 Do you know who this is? It's Brian fucking May! All these Coachella flipping perfect pristine influencer knobheads just completely blank faced no idea who one of the legendary guitar, rock guitar players. At all times. He stopped the crowd he was like Woah, woah, time out! You know what? I like this guy. I didn't like him before but now I know I like him now and he's getting fair respect. So we went to Brixton Academy, daughter is deliriously happy it was Monday night, we bunked off school, we just raced up there after school We got literally to the front, we were at the front, we got there early, parked the car chucked her in the queue, got back

50:46 O2 priority, good old O2. So we are literally like in the first 200 people in there to run down the front and apart from the weirdos that have got fluffy ear outfits and whatnot on they're...we're like literally two behind the bar so the whole night was awesome she wants to... he does this thing where he does stage door and comes out and shakes everyone's hand sign autographs and photos and selfies So my daughter's like, he's definitely coming out. He's definitely got another two hours stood outside. I'm so tired. It's like a guy comes out. Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to tell you Benson Boone has left the building. Okay so get back to the car. I'm now driving home fading in and out of consciousness. Not that i was drunk,

51:39 I had the window down, but then she's cold. She's like, oh it's cold! It's cold! So I'm like, oh for fucks sake, and I really just run down the motorway at 50p worth of outrun and um... And then I'm swerving, waking up on the rumble things Get home, unload the car so I'm unloading the car The handbrake had to have been on because if the handbrake wasn't The car would have rolled back as I was unpacking it. I was in the boot, out of the boot, closed the boot, did a back door or whatever... Go indoors go to bed two o'clock and then what is that? And then I see out the window the car has rolled down the hill and by some miracle instead of rolling straight back and ending up in someone's lounge or bedroom because

52:34 It somehow did a sort of a swerve and just so was and then went up onto the wall and was like wedged on a metal post that forms part of the wall. Ouch! And I just looked... That must have gone some pace then? I don't know, well i think maybe not because if it had I think it would have enough pace to get down that hill and just hit the thing and launch into someone's front room But if it's launched up a wall and up onto a post, and so on... It was not like the whole wall. It was more like imagine a car hit a two-foot wall and kind of then bounced up onto it basically? All I'm saying is that it probably got higher on that wall than I could have if I jumped! So there we go. The car is now somewhere random in London waiting for some assessment to decide whether they're going to fix it or write it off. And I don't think there's any

53:29 Are you Son's car at the moment? You a public transport bus wanker. No, I'm actually riding my bike everywhere. So it's a bit tricky in shops but my girlfriend took me to shops and did some shopping and riding my bike everywhere Oh honestly, this was deliberate... I think Jago beat you in a race And you've been looking for an excuse To ride your bike again so that you can get fit again So that you can actually go back into it right? I'm super fit! It was just terrible What happens?! They didn't want photos, they didn't want description. And then I went oh what happened? Oh yeah it's fine we got it okay fine so my neighbor says they're going to write off because they tried to write his car with minimal data. Probably easier right easier for them at least. Computer says no basically that's that's that's what that's...I've got a whole list here which I'm gonna save for our next wrap-up. I've had loads of mad things happen to me now just that is just one

54:27 But, but yeah. And I was here... you know what the magic of that is? Is that my girlfriend said to me if I had the week you've just had oh because by the way 24 48 hours before the car rolled itself down a hill i was being really organized ahead of my trip to France where I'm driving that car on holiday and I got paid myself as like right I'm gonna go and get the exhaust done and that tire that needs changing 250 quid out the window. So then my girlfriend said, she's like if I had the week that you'd had, I'd be in pieces and i was like yeah! I think some people would be actually but

55:12 I'm rolling with the punches. But this is the thing, i don't think you should underestimate this and i think it's so easy to not appreciate the work you've put into being resilient and this isn't to say that you're kind of being blasé about things or not taking them seriously... You definitely are but you've worked on yourself, you've done put the effort in and you've worked on this self-belief and this positive mindset of, But I'm gonna make it happen and i've got one sign in my house that's got words on it. I fucking hate this live laugh love shit, but I've got one sign which says you don't need to see the top of the staircase to take the first step and you've built in yourself this mindset of right? I don't know how I'm going to fix this but I know I can take the next step and take the next step And what I love about you Jonnie is it's not just you You're also working to build that mindset with other

56:08 Thanks for saying. As a group I'm in on Facebook, right? Which I keep meaning to leave but then it just keeps growing and I feel like... It's called The Man Cave, right? It is basically about men's mental health. You just can't believe the misery that people are dragging around with them. So I don't want to end on a low, but... No but it's not a low because they're dragging it around with them by choice because they and this is everyone's situation is different I know but I believe that we can control what we can control

56:51 And we can do things which are going to make those little incremental gains, which ultimately add up to a massive change. By changing mindset on the small things it adds up to the big things and by getting support of other men going through this sort of stuff and support from people like you then men can really stop sticking their head in the sand until it's definitely too late to be able to help. One of the questions I asked men on their way into Basecamp, which is the free area with all the like you know free resources and tools. It's how much have you spent on your own personal development? And no surprise or you know the people that don't do anything they've never read a book they know what they're spending everything and that's not a criticism it's like you don't know what you don't know right so good on them that they are here they're doing something they've been sent over they watched a video

57:45 It's shocking really that we don't get pumped this stuff at school or from our dads. It's down to other people, it's down to High Value Man Project and other men's coaching programs to actually start to instill this into men and here is the one of the really important point is that women need us So, to step up. Women need us to be strong and resilient. They need us to be charismatic and have faith in ourselves because women don't want to lead in that respect. They do not want to be in a relationship where they are the ones who have to decide everything and be the flipping support unit or the mum or cook.

58:35 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Glen, Glastonbury, Elvis, Hulll, You're able to step up and know it, and trusting that when you're in your lowest state they are going to step up for you. That's what a real relationship is about. Yeah well... And we can't always have that! No but we can't have it with a relationship but what we can do is do the stuff for ourselves To know when we are high or low and be surrounding ourselves with people who can support us and offer whatever we are missing

59:21 I know that, for one, we'll be happy to chat to anyone who was feeling low. But I know that you'd been even more delighted to speak to people who were going through tough times and just needed just a little bit of help to get them seeing the light at the end of tunnel. Yeah exactly! And that's about it... The secrets of success aren't that secret. It's just that most won't do what it takes to make happen And we can, we all can. So I'm gonna leave it there for us as we hit the hour We never like to go over the hour It feels you know like The Indiana Jones The big rock and arrows are about to be loaded up Glen absolutely brilliant to hang out We will definitely do this at the very least At the end of every month I wish you all the best in your job hunt Absolutely pump the LinkedIn machine! I see some incredible

1:00:11 Posts on LinkedIn where people say, guess what's happened to me? And they're flipping you know 1,000 3,000 5,000.
