🎙️ Episode Summary:
Unusual British Town Names – Trivia Tuesday – LMBYTS #1487 – Jason Newland – 11th November 2025
(duration: 1 hour, 14 minutes):
🎙️ Episode Overview
This relaxed, meandering episode combines personal anecdotes, observational humor, and a quirky trivia list centered on unusual British (and eventually American) town names. It blends Jason’s casual storytelling with some genuinely funny and odd facts, delivered with characteristic warmth and dry wit.
🧠 Main Segments & Themes
1. Opening Ramble & Daily Life Update

• Jason talks about his dog Vinnie, the weather, and watching Ozark and Big Brother.
• Reflects on the emotional displays in Big Brother, saying he wouldn’t miss anyone except Vinnie if in the house.
• Mentions the idea of compiling a yearly journal from his podcast transcripts, possibly publishing them for each year starting in January.

2. Humorous Dating Anecdotes

• Several stories about past girlfriends:
  • One insisted on staying after a bad date and had to be sent home by taxi.
  • Another painted his toenails, leading to public embarrassment at the beach.
  • One pulled a prank on a train that led to a hilarious but awkward moment.
  • He reflects on competitive nature and feeling annoyed when beaten at games like air hockey and pub games.

3. Mundane Daily Tasks & Observations

• Talks about laundry, hanging up a nightie (not pink or frilly, but could be if he wanted), and dealing with neighborhood noise.
• Comments on social norms, self-expression, and his historical disregard for societal opinions.

4. Trivia Tuesday: Weird British Town Names A long, funny segment reading and reacting to a list of real (and very oddly named) British places. Some standouts include:

• Cockermouth
• Scratchy Bottom (Dorset)
• Wetwang (East Yorkshire)
• Dull (Perthshire) – twinned with Boring, Oregon
• Twat (Shetland)
• Beer (Devon)
• Ugley (Essex) – home of the Ugley Women’s Institute
• Blubberhouses, Lickey End, Pity Me, Bottom Flash, Fingringhoe, No Place, and more.

Each name often inspires some digression or reflection — either on his past, language oddities, or silly thoughts about how the names might have originated.
5. Detour into Unusual American Town Names
Some funny U.S. names mentioned include:

• Intercourse, Truth or Consequences, Satan’s Kingdom, Hooker, Booger Hole, Climax, Sweet Lips, Ding Dong, and Bum Pass.
• Jason playfully questions whether these places really exist.

📢 Listener Engagement & Outro

• Thanks Sheryl for a PayPal donation.
• Promotes the Jason Newland Boring Group on Facebook.
• Encourages listeners to leave questions for upcoming Q&A Friday.
• Shares current listener app usage stats from a recent survey (most use Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or JasonNewland.com).

🧘‍♂️ Closing Words
Jason wraps up with his signature message encouraging self-kindness, gentleness, and peace: “Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to feel safe. Lots of love. Bye.”
