Good afternoon, morning, evening all night, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh no!
Oh, yes.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night,
ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to the Jal Media Posdak, episode 288.
I'm your host Alex, joined by Jamie and James.
Do you know what else is in 88?
The main gun on a panza-onfrogan, Tiger S-E.
Yes.
That is actually like correct though, it's an 88.
88 what?
It's a flat gun.
It's a flat gun, you know, shoot down.
What's the flat gun?
A flat gun, it shoots down.
Oh, flat.
I thought it's a flat.
I thought it was like a disc.
They put it in a tank and tank big gun.
That would be scary.
Imagine a flat gun that you can only see from certain angles because it's so flat.
Wow.
It's like a two-dimensional gun.
Yeah.
Really dangerous.
Because how would you
What about if you picked up and accidentally shot yourself
Because you could only see it from a certain angle
Well if you're holding it, I feel like you'd know
Where it is
No, but if you were going to pick it up
And then you went
Which glocks yourself?
Which country in the world do you think has 2D soldiers
To wield the 2D flat gun
Oh the France 2D soldiers
French 2D soldiers
It's their secret weapon they've been planning to use
To infiltrate the Euro star
tunnel and invade our country the fish weren't enough to the 2d soldiers
yeah it's retaliation to the fish thieves of Jersey Island the fritz every time you
think you see someone in the corner of your eye it's the it's the 2d soldiers from
france yeah they're spying on you getting information it's it's genius because
they're 2d they blend in everywhere all they got to do is just oh they're gone just turn her
What?
Just changed the angle and they're gone.
Do you think that's how the pyramids were made?
Well, by the 2D soldiers.
No,
No, no, no, no.
This is, this is,
come on, guys,
this is common knowledge that the aliens helped of the pyramids.
Do you think humans can, like,
move blocks from quarries to, to make a pyramid?
Come on.
There's no way that people,
that,
there's no way that prehistoric man was, like,
smart enough to make pyramids.
No, it's proven that,
They made pyramids before triangles were invented.
Yeah, because the aliens showed them a triangle.
Exactly.
So, like, how did they create something that didn't exist yet?
Checkmate intelligence.
Checkmate intelligence.
Which, you know, makes me kind of just want to thank the patrons over the Jammedia Patreon
that make the audio versions of the show possible
and get their names right out in the first or second week.
of every dang month
also like the video
yeah
you give us a like
go on like the video
well yeah
no actually no give us a lot of dislikes
so then we end up in
yeah
either either helps
yeah
and we don't even
you don't even need to see the dislikes
we can't even see them
but you can't see them
oh no that means they're gonna use it again
bro you've just given them
another weapon against us
no if they can't see it
they're all gonna dislike it
because they know that we can see it
don't know is that any engagement is good.
See, this is the new tactic.
Can you only like or dislike?
What do you mean? There's no middle option, no.
No, I mean both? Not middle, both.
No.
Like a, what are you saying that you need a middling option where it's like,
I'm not really passionate enough to like or dislike,
I wish there was kind of a middle, like, just like this.
You know, thumb down the middle, like.
No, I'm thinking both at the same time.
you know sometimes you like loving you loathe it no like like you know when you hear
one of those songs that's like err like crazy goblins but no but you just keep
listening to the whole time that's just this like one like no room in hell by um by by by
sam b and chameleana but you're saying you like and dislike no woman hell yeah it's like
it's a good ass song but it's sucked hmm i guess the answer would be to have two
YouTube accounts on the go have one that you like and then one that you dislike.
Yeah, but you want it in one account.
You don't want to change account to dislike the song you like.
Like and dislike isn't expressive enough.
We need more.
We need like an remote will on on YouTube.
We need viable ways of expressing.
Emotes.
Animated emotes.
Yeah.
So then when you go to your YouTube video, you see a breakdown of all the emotes.
Like a happy face, a laughing face, an angry face?
I hope.
Facebook buys YouTube.
Why?
It'll be good.
I'm right with you, bro.
Just like...
Nah, I got no segue.
I just want to clean up this damn house right now.
Okay.
You know that?
You realize that?
No.
No.
Let's round off some of the conversations from last week then.
Go to the comments.
Let's see what was there.
Just like what seaman table said
Not that kind of seaman
We bought
SEA
S-E-E
That
No that is C-man
I see the 2D soldier man
Table
Table
Who said when I saw normal in the title
My heart nearly stopped
What
Last episode's title was the normal three
Or something like this
Oh okay
And the Jarlings
When they see the term normal
They just start salivating
and they start shaking, they're like, normal?
Yeah, well, we've conditioned people to...
To crave normal.
Yeah, to crave normality, to an extent.
By craving normality, you lose your own normality.
It's a trade-off.
Yeah, but...
As soon as normal becomes something, it's no longer normal.
The second attention is brought to normality, it becomes abnormal.
There's that ancient clip of James going normal.
Yeah.
What normal people think of Tomskine.
Normal's been...
Wait, no, no, that's not...
Well, that wasn't normal.
Yeah.
Wait, what?
No.
Yeah, what normal people think of Tomskirts?
Yeah.
Normal's been with us this long.
Yeah, you've said normal.
Patricia Norton says,
when you mention things that have goon in their names,
I was surprised you didn't mention the fact that Yogs stands for ye-old goon squad.
I guess they mean the Yogs cast.
Yeah, not us, but we are the Ye' old Goon Squad, but we're not the...
No, but aren't they saying that the Yogs cast, like, that's what they call it?
Yes, that's...
Yogs.
Isn't that, like, quite strange?
Yeah.
Because weren't they like a World of Warcraft-like team?
I thought their thing was Minecraft.
Dig-dig-y hole.
Yeah.
We are the gnomes, and we're digging a hole.
But why, where does the goon-co- like, like,
goon I want to say that
Goon is quite like a British
No no but even outside of that who actually
knows of a goon who actually
uses the word goon outside of our little
Goon loads of people
No because it's like the only people who use
Goon is is Gooners
Arsenal fans because that they could they
They are self-proclaimed gooners
What's like the actual definition?
A goon is like a
Someone that works for the Joker
Yeah yeah
Yeah you're a goon you're like a thug you're
goon.
Yeah.
But that's...
It's like a low-level
goon.
But,
but...
Ye old goon squad?
I don't know.
But it's the link to the
Yogscast that is
making me get scared.
Yeah. It's like a...
Are they gooners?
A conspiracy theorist board.
Like, everything always
connects to everything.
Yeah. Because I just thought
it was funny to call...
To just say that
our podcast, it was just another one.
It's just the Yogscast.
But they were gooners all along, long before.
They were gooning Minecraft.
Yeah.
That song, Diggy Hole, it's about gooning.
Is it going deep in the goon hole?
The goon hole.
Yeah.
Well, it's about gooning in Minecraft, but like James said,
it aligns perfectly with the metaphor of going into the goon cave.
Like, gooning into a hole.
Crafting the perfect goon cave.
Yeah.
What would you call?
carved your goon cave out of what block?
Flashlight. Just loads of
flashlight blocks.
A literal goon cave.
I'd probably build mine
out of just cobble.
Keep it simple.
I'd do dirt.
Or buckets of milk.
Can you craft out of...
Can you make like a milk block in Minecraft?
No, but I'm thinking like liquid milk,
you know? Like white...
White water.
So it like dribbles down.
It goes deep.
It just...
It's like a...
wall of white liquid
right
and out the other side is the
the flesh like goon cave
yeah so you go through the milk
supplying what about like a nice
bunch like nether
like oh
on fire
yeah like the top is like on fire
and there's or you could build the portals
or it'd be surrounded by portals
so it's really like a proper
grog-r-r-r-goon
oh yeah so this like
sensory overload
yeah true
and then you have golden blocks
every so often to
to keep you going deeper and a diamond.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And some slime will probably do the trick as well.
Do you do slime blocks?
Yeah.
They're like bouncy.
Well, in your cobble, um,
Goon Cave, you could have the slimes jumping around, like...
Oh, yeah.
You never know where they're going to land, sort of thing.
But every, every cave, every hole connects to each other.
It's like the nine circles...
Bless you.
It's the nine circles of hell.
You go through, you have to go through each goon cave to get,
to the final...
Yeah, you could like craft nine goon...
Caves.
Yeah, that gradually get more and more extreme as you go down.
But what's the central piece that connects all of these goon caves?
What's the final reward?
The Endo-Dragon Goon?
What?
I don't know.
I haven't played Minecraft properly in so long.
It's all different now.
It's changed a lot since we played it.
Because we played it before leveling and before any of the wacky stuff.
Well, it's just, oh, you got a diamond sword or diamond pickax, and that's it, that's the game done.
There was some controversy, like, recently, I swear, where there was, like, an update, though, they changed a bunch of things, and the, uh, Minecraft community got upset.
What's with the sneezing?
What, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie spread his nerg-like diseases.
What?
Nurglight.
What the fuck?
What are you saying, Alex?
I don't know.
Something about a stupid fucking mind.
Minecraft Goon Cave.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What I want to ask is why do we...
The devil is a fallen angel, right?
Yes.
I'd say the devil is a 2D Frenchman.
The devil's in the details.
But if the devil is a fallen angel, why does he have goat legs?
He doesn't.
That's your interpretation of the devil.
Mine doesn't have goat legs.
Mine has really thick fucking thighs.
Why does he have horns, though?
I'm sure your devil is horns.
In Minecraft, or are we talking about real life?
I'm talking about the devil.
I'm talking about in real life, the devil in real life.
Mine is.
We've all got quite different devils.
Yeah, what's your devil?
You really want to know?
Yeah, yeah.
A historically accurate dynonicus.
You can't say these terms.
Is that the one with a thumbs?
up?
Uh-uh.
It's got thumbs down, like you should be pressing on the YouTube.
Like the thing, right?
Yeah.
Well, poorly Sam says this.
But Guck is definitely a small part of my daily vocabulary now?
Question mark?
Funny and harmless, perfect to insert into any situation.
Another cheeky phrase I find myself saying a lot is, I do declare.
Which Jim made, I do recall.
It's so stupid and reminds me of a time when she says,
Jim would constantly describe himself as being riled up in uncertain situations.
Also, this one probably means nothing to anyone, but there was an episode where Jim said,
well, goddamn, in a semi-quick, concise, sort of dry and sarcastic way,
and it caught me off guard because it's such an American thing to say,
I just latched onto it, lull.
Everyone says, God damn.
I've got something to admit.
Hmm?
I didn't invent the statement or the pre-to-the-the-state.
the pre to the statement of, I, I do declare.
What, where'd you get it from then?
Someone else said it before me.
That's all I can say.
But I, I, I didn't invent the, those words in that order.
I'm sorry.
Are you saying that you've spread misinformation and lies through JAR?
Um, yeah.
Did you know that this is taking, this is like taking one of the cards out of a house of cards?
No, this is something every pod, everyone that has ever been on a podcast or,
podcasts or
casts or
casts
or Yog's cast or Yogs cast
they all need to
admit that
they spread
misinformation. It's kind of the
job. Yeah. Of podcasting.
We've got to admit Jarre is the first
YouTube creator to spread
misinformation.
Yeah.
To get it's
you can you could say it's our job.
Jarre's job.
It's the Yog's job.
to get it wrong.
We get it wrong and you can count on us for that.
Is the Yog's job or 2D Frenchman a better title?
2D Frenchman?
I was thinking, what was it James said right in the beginning?
He said, checkmate intelligence.
Checkmate intelligence.
That's a few good ones.
They need to be noted down, to be honest.
I like all of them.
Burbling Barbarcoa says,
it's interesting you boys happen to talk about social media content moderation and the spread of myths slash disinformation.
I'm studying international relations and I've just started a course in cyber security and modern warfare.
My first assignment on radicalization and the impetus for social media companies to self-regulate is due next week.
A key takeaway from the course so far is that the general public means better norms regarding how they interact with the contemporary information landscape
and access to better systems of information verification.
Hence, I think your boys talking about it is making a positive difference,
if only by reminding people to think about these issues.
So this person, read out their course again.
Studying modern warfare, one, two or three.
Spread misinformation.
Or remake, or remake two that's coming out soon.
God, you do really need a degree to understand.
Their job is to actually spread misinformation.
nation. That's actually what
military's doing. I thought that was our job. Yeah, that's what we
did. Yeah. We're bankrolled
by the United Kingdom
Army, so, you know, we kind of
have to. Just
wait and see, you're going to start seeing all these
conspiracy accounts saying about the 2D
people that have always been
lurking.
What if there is, though?
Imagine... They're always watching, and
then, like, they see a start to turn, and then they
turn, so you just can't see him.
no but like if they're if if if if they're 2d all they have to do is face us well it depends actually
can they only look at us when yeah surely they can only see us from the side well that depends
they they they've got only this amount of view there so if they if they're that way they can't
see us so they have to be facing us at all times so we will never see them unless because they
won't see us.
No, but like, if I stand up, right?
Yeah.
And I'm, I'm like this.
I'm, I'm perpendicular to you guys.
Yeah.
Right.
But you wouldn't be able to see anything if you were 2D.
But I can see.
No, because you're 3D.
From the corner of my eye.
No, but you're 3D.
Yeah, you're not 2D.
If you're 2D, it's like a 10 destroy.
It's different rules.
Okay, okay, let's explain this.
But if they have eyes on, on the front of, of their
2D being.
Flat dimension.
right but sure but then they would be 3D
no they have to be 3D to exist like can they only
travel in the two dimensions they exist in
so they can only go up and down
someone who's studying two dimensional people
at uni or whatever can you just leave a comment and explain it
because I'm really confused but also do the two dimensional people
worry about the one dimensional people
wait there's a one dimensional people no there's not
what if there is a one dimensional people well
Then we're not going to see them and they're not going to see us because they're worrying about the two-dimensional people.
It's just never ending.
Well, no, that's the thing.
The fourth-dimensional people is the five.
Can the two-dimensional people only see us when we walk into one of their two dimensions?
No, they're in our dimension.
The one-
No, but we have three dimensions.
So if we step out of their two dimensions into our third dimension, do they lose all sort of us?
Are they terrible at keeping track of us?
No, no, no, no.
That's not how I pictured these two big people.
they're 3D people
they no
because your argument is that
they won't be able to see us
right because they're truly two
dimensioning
no I'm only when they're
like facing
you when they're to the side
they can see you
yeah but that means they're 3D
it means they're 3D but flat
so what I these 2D soldiers
they're soldiers right so their job is to infiltrate
but they're 3D like us but they have a
secret suit
that makes them 2D when they want to spy.
So he could be standing in front of the camera,
but because he's now turned on his 2D suit,
he can now watch us perfectly because he's looking at us,
but he's 2D.
So we can't see him, but he can see us.
So when we leave, he can go 3D again,
and he leaves because he's 3D in the 3D realm.
So I pictured them more like, um,
like military experiments
where like they've been changed biologically into being 2D
and they can't.
That's just what they are
And they're just...
But do they perceive two dimensions?
You tell me.
So is it like those
Sideway old school shooters?
Like Metal Slug
where they're running along the screen
as 2D beings
and they're shooting things 2D?
Is that...
What are you talking about shooting?
What are you saying?
Like Mario.
Yeah.
Yeah, like Mario.
That's what I'm saying.
Mario can't see
what is out of the TV
or in the other direction.
Well, it's because he's a game.
we're talking about real life though we're talking about
the real life no but this is what
I'm talking about if Mario
let's
imagine him on the TV
right yeah
he is a 2D person
yeah and he can only see
that way no no that's not true
so he can only see straight
no he can only look into the player's eyes
yeah because his eyes on the side
we can't see his eyes we're controlling him and that's why it's a game
because if he could see forward then he could just do
all the jumps himself
yeah but you can't
he can't travel out right no no you've just locked into those two dimensions
not until a few years late not until uh no
wait until 64 no but even even in 64 he couldn't move out of the TV he's trapped in two
dimensions you've just bamboozled yourself because you're saying that Mario can't see
ahead of him because he's 2d and he can only look at us which means we'd only be able to see
the 2D soldiers if they were looking at they were
side profile. Yeah, so they're useless
because they can never see us. That's what I've been imagining.
Like Mario, like, running around. Like a French Mario.
They're not a good soldier then if we can see them.
No, but we wouldn't be able to see them because their whole thing is that
when we're not looking, that's when they're visible.
No, but they can't see us.
And then you, as you turn, they can listen.
They can listen, yeah, and they can document.
Ah.
Okay, so they're technology. They can communicate.
Okay, so they're those kind of spots.
They're probably wearing headsets.
I was thinking,
They have eyes on the front of their flat plane.
No, they have eyes on the side.
Yeah, they have side eyes.
Yeah, they're like pigeons.
On one side or two side, like, do they have eyes like either side?
No, because they're blank because we can't see the other side.
Both eyes are on one side.
No, no.
No, but think about Mario.
When he flips sides, the two eyes are suddenly on that side.
So they've got four eyes.
No.
But they're like connected.
You can only see one, one pair of.
of two eyes at a time.
So does that mean they have four eyes or two eyes?
That's a good question.
Theoretical physicists, please.
Right here.
Let's get Neil deGrasse Tyson on the next course to...
Yeah.
How quickly would we like anger someone like that?
Instant like we've got some...
Like a list of just like the dumbest fucking quiet.
Just completely like disregard like any basic rules.
So frustrating.
I'll tell you something that's so fucking frustrating.
Team Actamel is going to finish this section off
and kind of shift us into at least my topic
before we go into mid-break, unless you guys have anything, huh?
You got nothing?
Huh?
Okay.
Hi, lads.
Kung Fu Panda 4 has finally been slated to release in 2024.
Any thoughts or hopes for the next entry in the franchise?
Personally, I'm a bit worried,
considering how mediocre the third one was thanks
lots of people
were sending me this as if I was going to be thrilled
as if I was going to be hyped
but I'm kind of with this guy
I'm a bit more
a bit more trepidacious you know
I'd never watch the third one
so you don't need to
the second one's good and that's the only one I care about
I it's for some
Kung Fu Panda is like hugely successful
like stupidly successful
yeah because of the second one
um
you give someone
something so good
they're gonna want more
but people
it's over the years
it's kind of been appreciated more
but I'd say for the most part
it's not
it's not appreciated in the way it should be
the second one specifically
yeah
it's very functional
no not functional
bro no no it's it's functional to such an extreme degree do you understand like it
no because functional is something i would use to describe something that's just like skirt in the
line no no no no you're that's fine no you don't think Kungpander 3 is functional
no you don't think correctly you sit on a bike and if if that bicycle is functional to
the most obscene degree like you're riding it and your legs are moving but like you're
there's there's it just goes so perfectly that
you feel like your legs aren't even moving
do you get me no
so you're saying kung fu pandas like
what like an electric bike
no
no like a bike that you're you're exercising your legs
but you don't even know it
well it's just biting a bike usually
because when because you get tired going up the hill and stuff
well if you're not going up a hill
what about Kung Fu Panda
it's really good
that's what I'm saying
Kung Fu Panda 2 is really good Kung Fu Panda 1 are you talking about
1 and 2 are good
1 and 2 is
exceptional I've seen some theories
exceptionally functional
4 might actually redeem it
in the Shrek kind of way
you know everyone knows
Shrek the 3rd is just
and Shrek 4 is a masterpiece
basically
I've not seen Shrek 3 or 4.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, you've seen Shrek 3.
No, I haven't.
You have?
No, I've seen like bits of it.
We all know Shrek 2 is the masterpiece.
Shrek 2 is very good.
Exceptionally good.
It's exceptionally functional.
Their second movies are always just incredibly correct.
Yes.
What, you mean DreamWorks?
Yeah.
Yeah, pretty much.
How does Train Your Dragon 2?
Yeah, pretty functional.
Yeah.
Let's think
Madagascar 2
Functional to the nth degree
Yeah, destroys the original even
Yeah
Madagascar 2 is so functional
Like you don't even notice that you've watched a movie
It's just like experiencing life on forward
Yeah, you sit down and get up
Turns out
An hour and a half has gone by and you've watched a movie
What just happened?
Exactly
It's kind of like a Madagascar quote
That's probably in the
That's more like a marble thing, isn't it?
Well, that just happened.
Captain America 2
It's behind me, isn't it?
Captain America 2
That's not made by DreamWorks
It will be soon.
The Avengers Weemakes
That's the point
Maybe that's their plan is to like
Start the
Because multiverse is like everything now
Kung Fu Panda
dream works slash Madagascar
because the rumour was Madagascar was getting
for right? Yeah but
that's ever since the Chris Rock thing I think that's over
oh
oh damn
just take out Gloria
I mean
she's not that important
no but then what's Melman even going to do
he
this is this is his
no
have it be about him
yeah
Like she dies or something
And then it's about him getting over the grief
Yeah
That'd be pretty appropriate
Or redeeming himself for being a pussy
For being a witch doctor in Africa
Apologising for his baby
And trying to sacrifice
He tries to like kill himself doesn't he
Yeah
He's gonna commit Sepaku for glory
Yeah
That sounds crazy
That feels fucking crazy
Crazy
expertly questionable
but yeah
I'm I'm really excited for
Kung
Kung Fu
Madagascar
yeah
yeah
then Mort comes in and then there's a dragon and then
fucking art the iron giant smashes through
Oh shit yeah
controlled by Megamind
um yeah and then a minion goes
goes banana and then the fucking uh grew is there with his ship
and then the then the theme begins and feral is there with his hat
and he just takes his hat off and what's under the hat tangled
yeah the olaf from frozen
being carried down by tangled's hair
And then fucking Spider-Man is in there
Spider-Man wearing a real hat
And he opens the portal
And who is there? Luke.
Luke Skywalker
And Patrick Bateman
He's sword fights Patrick Bateman
And who's
Thanos working with this time?
Oh, the rapist from Clockwork Orange
Yeah
We'll see after these.
I'm done.
You took it too far.
Buy bear bear, bear.
I do declare buy bear bear bear.
Bear bear shirts and mug available now.
Check the description below.
What free time I have I spend
on...
Eldon Ring or Spider-Man.
I haven't got time to mob my car.
I can.
I can mod it for you.
You could probably modio your car.
Yeah, if it was as easy as modio,
I'd mob the fuck out my car.
No, that's what people do.
Next door.
Literally modioed their car.
They got mine to come with a laptop
and he modioed their car
and made more power.
Really?
Yeah, you know, remember that guy's
like sat there plugged in
with the computer plugged into it.
That's modioing a car.
It's also the worst thing to do
never get a generic remap, they're shit.
You'll blow your car up.
I heard him having a go at his young child
because he's got that...
Is it an Audi?
Yeah, the Audi.
The one they got remit.
Yeah.
His like young child was in it.
And he said something like,
Don't touch that.
This is really expensive.
Ugh.
And I was like, oh.
Saying that, though,
I think the problem with society began
the first time
a monkey owned something
This my stick
Yeah exactly
Or a chimp is like
This is my stick
I don't think that's a monkey thing
I think every animal is just like once they find their thing
They don't want it argy does it
Paisdy does it
Gaius does it
My problem is more so this
I think when you have children
you just have to accept
you can't have nice things
for at least 18 years
No even then you're
And even then it's still a gamble
Yeah from 18 onwards you're recovering for those 18 years
It's actually 36 years
You've got to recover from
Then you might think
Then you can start thinking about something
That's why every old man has a Mustang
Because it's like I can get a noise thing now
So they buy a Mustang
this is the thing
don't have kids
fuck the future
fuck humanity in the future
buy nice things now
buy nice cars now
and kill the planet
and faster
yeah
mick
why should we care about the future generations
what are they doing for us
the futures
yeah what the kids are doing for us
no listen
right
yes listen
you you in the future
will plug your brain into a robot.
And who's going to take care of that robot?
Yourself.
Robots can look.
Robots can take care of robots.
No, this is the thing with the whole robot society, okay?
Because if we were to be a robot society,
we'd have to have machines that can heal and repair us.
You're us.
Yes, because if you're a machine, you're going to need maintenance.
Who's going to do that maintenance if there's not people to do the maintenance?
Surely a machine could be quite good at being like a general practitioner, right?
No, why not?
If it's advanced enough to, like, do a health scan,
it, like, checks your blood pressure.
No, we need someone to do that forward.
We need a GP robot that comes around.
We need to design GP robots with really long fingers.
Yeah, so they fly around,
so when we're all, like, cocooned in our little worlds.
They can come through and they just scan us and, like,
oh, you need a vaccine,
you need a plaster, zing.
You need a plaster, zing.
This is the thing, the matrix is still.
stupid.
Yeah.
No, it's cool.
It's cool, but it's dumb.
Like,
body, human body batteries?
Silly, we talked about this before.
No, I think it's genius.
But I think
we can
like upload our brain into
robot. Right.
And then we use
robot to
fix cars, right?
Menial job.
Fix cars.
build shoes or whatever whatever jobs are right well the main the conscious part of the brain
is playing gt o five now i've got upload your consciousness into a drone
flying around like a bird and that would be a nice life no that would be miserable
because if you if you're flying around as a robotic bird in space you're eventually going to
you're going to hate existence because you can't die how peaceful would it be
It would be like being an Apple TV screen saver.
Bro, it'd be good for 20 minutes.
No.
But then that's the rest of your literal existence for thousands of years.
No, because like what do human beings crave most?
Bro, this is the thing.
Being able to fly like a bird.
You'll want to fly around.
No, but trains don't fly like birds.
Yeah, it's even more smooth.
No, but you don't want smooth.
You want fun.
You don't go to a, like, on a roller coaster and it goes like,
like smoothly up and down the tracks.
No, no, but if you're in control of the rotors,
you could be like, okay, I'm going to do that thing.
Yeah, I'm going to cut them off.
Yeah.
And then you do the last minute.
Yeah, that would be cool.
See?
Okay, no, but here's the thing.
You think there's no good about being a machine
because machines can theoretically last forever.
No matter how far you go, how many years past,
they can just, if they're maintained, they will go.
Not true.
But if you'd get bored, your sentient brain, human stuff
will get bored and you'll eventually fly yourself into the sun.
No, we actually
We actually need AI
Yes, but the AI
For humanity
We need to be uploaded
Into a greater
Conscience
Otherwise James is right
Otherwise we'll go crazy
No, you get bored of flying around
Like a bird
And then what?
Then you stomp around like a rhino
No, but no I'm thinking
You go into a submarine
I upload your consciousness into a submarine.
How would you hop
your consciousness into some machine
when you moved your consciousness
but all of this can work
from the AI
we're all connected to the AI right
no but that's the thing that
over time of the more robots
you send to send yourself into
for entertainment you'll lose your soul
you're not going to be soul when your
your existence is now a robot that you're
moving from robot to robot you'll
eventually lose the soul and you'll
no you won't exist
no because you could you could upload your
consciousness into your laurel and then
be like a car from cars
That sounds miserable.
I'd crash my own car into the sun.
In the Pixar timeline, because we all know that all the universes are connected, where is cars?
I thought it was the apocalypse.
So is it after Wally?
While Wally is active, like why they're all away from Earth, the cars from cars are.
It's like a cult of people that have uploaded their minds to cars.
It's like all the Jameses of the world.
And they're continuing to kill the planet while he's.
Peter Gabriel was trying to fix it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm down with that.
Owen Wilson is the first upload his brain.
Cachow.
I think if there is ever a point where we can upload our brain,
the person who invented it should destroy it
because you're not human if you upload your brain.
There's more to humans than brain.
Yeah, we become more.
No, we become less.
We lose us.
We lose who we are.
Yeah.
and become better.
No, but we lose us.
No, but if we're all uploaded into...
If I see a little drone flying in my mind
and not going to be like, oh, it's Alex,
because I will if it goes...
That's Alex.
Perfectly, like, goes under the bridge
just through the hole, just right.
Like, you're on GTL online.
And then, and then it just, like,
falls out the sky, and then you see a submarine
and go, bloop.
Oh, there he goes.
No, I think, I think,
um, the, the worst thing about humanity is that we're,
all individuals.
Hmm.
What, she's saying that we shouldn't all be individuals?
No, because what makes me, me?
I have these shoes and drive
an epic car.
No, that's who I am.
That's not who you are.
Which is bullshit. That's nothing.
Right?
Damn, you're insulting me bad now, but you're dragging me down.
I play Eldon Ring.
That's who I am.
Right?
your build
Yeah my bill
Like
Your IOL build
My
The thing that
The thing that makes me me is that I had a strength faith build
As my first build in Eldham Ring
No you were sorcery right
Oh no
Wesley
Yeah
No but what I'm saying is like
I
Who I am
I wear shirt with Viking on it
Or like
Circle thing
Right
That's who I am
But if I'm uploaded to the AI, I'm just like a part of that, right?
So you want to be, you want to group think.
You actually want to be part of the group think is the end of humanity.
That's why it's bad.
No, but that's why it's necessary.
No, do you not think this is already happening?
Yes.
To everyone on TikTok's doing the same thing.
Everyone is becoming the same person.
Yeah.
Humor, the same.
Their consciousness is in the TikTok machine
The machine is TikTok
Why do you think everyone online is a communist
They're not though
Either they're a communist
Communism is the way forward
Conjoin our brain into one big loop
And then this big brain is like
Alright you small facet of my brain
You fly around as a drone and learn things
when you get bored of that
go under the ocean and learn shit
but then you bring it
bring it back to the
the AI
but at the same time
there's some people are going to reject
the communist hive mind
so they'll go
then the AI kills them
no but then they'll join like a
fascist
hive mind and then there's this war
and fascism
but like
drone fascism
yeah they'll start up loading themselves
into cars and create their own society
no but the AI is fascism
and it's also communism and it's also capitalism.
So just it sucks in everyone.
It's everything you want and the opposite at once.
So if it sucks up a bunch of fascists and communists,
it assigns them different things to do to satisfy their communist or fascistic.
Oh, I've got to be a drone this week.
Yeah.
No, but next week you're like, well, at least I get to be the submarine next week.
And then the other guy's like, well, I'm a rhino this week, so I'm pretty happy.
A rhino.
Yeah, but won't there be infighting?
Won't the people who are forced to be the winos?
No, because we're all, we'd all, everything, it wouldn't be like...
But I'm good for you.
Why would someone be a biological organism like a rhino when I was saying, like,
Shino?
They're not a rhino.
They just live out of a rhino.
It's like blade runner where all the animals are gone, so we've had to, like, just make robot versions of them.
No, but there's, there's like three rhinos in the world.
It's like, let's like learn.
about life through rhinos,
but also through squid and shit.
So you're saying that the animals or beings
or things we experience life through,
we gain that knowledge and it makes...
No, you know, like Boston Dynamics
are making, like, robot humans
who do parkour and shit.
Yes.
Right?
If we do that, and we get to the point
where it's like, well, we've made a person now
and we can, like, put a brain in it.
We can upload, like, the perfect brain into...
The body that doesn't age
and is actually more athletic and healthier
than the human body.
Even if it does age, you just take the aged arm off and put on a new one, or the aged brain put in a new one.
But if everyone does that, who's going to replace the arm?
Apple.
Yeah, that Apple cars will do that bit.
No, because then you have to pay them.
If you can build a human, then why can't you build a squid?
But why would you want to be a squid if you were a parkour human?
No, honestly, because if you live forever, parkour human is going to be boring as shit.
Yeah, if you live forever, everything's going to get boring.
Yeah.
Which is why you then need to go to space and become a star
No, then you fly into the star
And become part of it
Yeah, you fuel the star
And you finish it by
Becoming Dark Souls
And learning that living forever is a bad thing
Exactly
That's the whole point
That's what
You don't need Dark Souls to learn that Living Forever
Is a bad thing
When you've gone through 15 million species
To learn and then eventually
You're gonna learn that anyway
That sounds kind of awesome
I was playing as a squid the other day
and I got eaten by a whale and it was really freaky.
Yeah, but there's no organic.
So someone else's whale experience
was involved eating you?
Yeah.
It's like a big video game.
That sounds shit.
I'm the last Megalodon that's left.
Yeah, and Jason Statham's just trying to get me.
Oh, I get to be the rock next week.
If that hasn't already happened, it's where we're going.
right no but do you not think we're experiencing that way not that's what I'm saying
if I don't get to be a drone right now well no but someone else does what you do in your
dreams that's you jumping to another being another thing exactly that's what
Doctor Strange was about when you when I think they were dead on the money when you're
when you wake up in your night because of falling that was the bird going
and that's why you wake up because you just hit the floor as your drone bird see but
You changed it to...
I was like picturing like an actual drone, you know,
with the four propellers going...
Well, you turned it into like some kind of robot bird.
That's like a fucking transformer flying around.
But it's not like a robot bird.
It's a synthesized organic bird
that you've uploaded your brain into.
A synth bird.
No, think of it.
Do you actually want us to upload our fucking brains into those little pathetic drones?
You're talking about uploading your brain into a drone.
Well, by the time we can upload our brains,
I feel like drones...
be a bit better than what they are.
Yeah, that'll be awesome.
Or do you want the experience of going back
to a drone that's 300 years old
that's shit?
Do you actually want that?
I'll be able to do that once I've unplugged from the drone
and then I'm like, how do I spend
like 10 minutes? I go on my computer, run
the simulation of an old drone
and what that would be like.
But then you're not bloated your brain
if you've just pulled out your card out of your PC
and put it into not. You're not a part of the
machine then. You're you.
Playing a VR drone game.
Yeah, the VR drone game.
but that's only after I've spent my week
as a real drone
But you
No, but the
We really need
Neil for this
Neil?
Yeah
The grass
Oh yeah, shit
Yeah
He could solve this
He could predict the future
But there's
I wonder who that is
Yeah
Would you be a, yeah
God damn it got to be a mosquito
next week
This is, this is what
Buddha was talking about.
Being reborn? Yeah, as a fly.
That explains that mosquito
at KFC.
Ordering a pigma
which mosquito.
It was a wasp, wasn't it?
No, it was some... The wasp, yeah, the wasp.
The one that attacked you
constantly. Oh, at KFC, yeah.
Yeah.
That must have been the jarlings.
It was actually...
It was actually a cybernetic wasp
that was being controlled.
trolled by a human's consciousness.
But like the robot bees
that we designed to
pollinate the planet, right?
They can be hacked.
Oh no, because we need bees
to pollinate the planet.
We'd have to play.
This is how you get people into,
this is how you convert a fascist
into communism, right?
Well, be a bee and attack on bees.
Yeah, no, you invent robot bees
and then you're like,
who doesn't want to fly around
there's like a little bug for a bit.
And then you put them into a bee colony
and they're like, shit, this works seamlessly.
Mmm.
Like, I'm pollinating so much.
I'm eating all this delicious honey.
I ain't getting, like, no problems.
I'm just a bee.
But what if like a bird swoops down and...
Well, you're a robot beer.
Birds will learn, oh, I eat a robot bee.
I'm dead.
By then the birds will be robots as well.
Yeah, exactly.
And they'll just go and...
Their flight paths will all be...
Yeah.
No, I think what you're creating
you're creating the same society we have now
like nothing will change if people
are just different animals at the same time or different bugs
yeah oil powered bees
but
it's no it's totally different
no because then you're still got conflict
because there's someone the bird the human in the bird
want to kill the human in the bee so there's conflict
No, this is a thing
Remove everything
Everyone is forced to be a bee for the rest of their lives
They all work for the hive mind as a B
Exactly
So the communism is B
Who's the queen?
The AI core
Yes
Which is an amalgamation of Bill Gates, Elon Musk
No, it's an amalgamation of everyone
Communism
Obameter
B.
Speaking of, when are you going to admit it, James, the truth
about your father?
I can't.
You drone strike too many.
Yeah, I don't want to be drone strikes.
He's like Spider-Man, you can't reveal it.
I mean, this is supposed to be the second half of the cast
that we answer questions from the JAR Media subreddit.
We're really passing out, might.
We'll do a few. We'll do a couple.
Please let it be about bees
I wish
But I feel like we've already got enough
Do we have any questions from the beekeeping
Joling
No that turned out to be a fucking
Algorithm
Yeah
Speaking of
The Al-G
The Al-B rhythm
Head over to the subreddit where there's a suggestion
Throbber you can ask us whatever you do
Ever you feel like
Like Hullery did
Is it true that James's quote
Main Method of Getting Girls
Was Sending Hentai
webcomics through Facebook.
I've completely forgot about that.
Was that like a thing you would say?
A thing you would say or a thing you would do?
I did.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn.
Oh, there you go.
Cool.
Don't do it.
What if the story was kind of,
cool well yeah is do you think porn stars cringe at the story of their porn well that's the
part they like that's the only reason they do their job yeah that's like the good bit and it's just like
fuck say oh yes i get to act today yeah right cole 375 says how do you boys feel about the
introduction of a new dibby into apex legends with the new character pet bat echo
What do you count as existing dibbies in Apex to be?
Personally, I'd say even that Apex packs are dibes.
Okay, so we are big Apex sessions fans here.
I'm not.
I'm actually in the Apex Goonhole, like for real now.
I've passed the 1,000 mark.
I'm now a prestige.
I play ranked all the time.
Wait, wait, wait.
You've passed the 1,000 mark?
Hours.
When?
Like, one week ago, you were like, I'm at 800.
Oh, including my origin time, which is 300.
plus the Apex time, Xbox time.
Damn.
I think there's a fair amount of dibbies in Apex.
The new character advantage is a hunter from an ice planet.
And she has a bat called Echo that's a dibby.
A really cute dibby.
100% dibby.
Bats aren't cute.
Echoes are dibby.
The Apex packs are dibbies.
I'd never thought about that, but the packs are dibs.
They're literally in the map and they're dibs.
And they'd make divy noises.
they make dibby noises
they're not dibbies
they are not
they kind of are
they wouldn't want one
I absolutely would
why
because they can have to want one
yeah you do
well you want scrap
what scrap
Ice age
like a plushy of one
yeah I feel like people would buy
an apex pack
dibby
plushy
People would, dude.
I'll export a destiny dibby.
That's not a dibby.
The ghost ain't a dibby.
You bought one.
If the ghost isn't a dibby, then the Apex pack is not a divvy.
They are.
They like the way that animated, the way they come in and go,
they're ticks.
They're ticks from Titanfall.
They chase you and explode and kill them.
In that game, yeah.
But in Apex, they've been restructured.
They've been restructured by the company who runs the Apex game.
They are, they are Titanfall robots.
made repurposed to be fun.
Suicide...
Robots.
They're Grunts. Is Grants a dibby?
What, from Halo?
Yeah.
They...
Grunts are dibs.
Exactly. So the Apex Paxe a dibbies.
And the ghosts from Destiny's a dibby.
I don't think the ghost is a dibby.
Why? Okay, explain.
It doesn't...
gutterily, it just doesn't feel right.
No, it's the same way Parfinder's a dibby.
See, I don't think Pathfinder is a dibby.
He's just a really...
He's, he is like, he's too big.
No, he's the comic relief.
It's not, it's not about being sized, because Apex packs aren't small.
They're kind of are.
They're not.
Not in game, they're quite big.
They're like waist height, though.
Yeah, quite big.
That's like the biggest dibby.
Pathfinder is a dibby.
I generally think he's a, he is a dibby.
Why?
He's too violent as well.
He's just, he's the comic relief.
No, that's actually, um, vantage.
And Wave and Watson.
But that bat definitely is.
The bat is 100% a dibby.
Yeah.
That's the first true one.
I think, I think Wevenant is a bit of a dibby.
Nah, bro.
What the hell you're talking about?
He is a bit of a divvy.
He's just a dibby gone rogue.
Can I have some water?
Nah.
I actually bought the Revenant's skin
and I've not played him since.
because there was like an anime cross-overs
and actually I bought the one
that was referencing either
because I'm a fucking weeb
I am...
Why are you on Fortnite right now then?
No, because that's lame.
I generally believe
a Fortnite's has gone too far
because it's not like a...
It's not a gameplay thing now
because the ha-me-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-whatever is,
anime thing,
Nui-Hah, yes.
That's an instigua weapon
that you can get in game.
That's not fair.
That's not fun.
Really?
Is it not restricted to like an event?
No, I know.
I think it's just a weapon.
Like,
lightsabers are just in the game.
How's,
how is it fun when there's gimmick weapons
that insta kill you
that are just in the game?
If that was added to Apex,
it'd be crap.
Craber?
If it takes skill to use,
then...
A fucking lightsaber.
It does not take skill to use.
How do you know?
Not when you can Spide Man sling around trees
and instigle on someone.
They come fucking on.
How crazy is it that there's a game
where you,
you can be Batman,
Spider-Man swinging around trees with a lightsaber
To then Kamehari Ha
Fighting Chun Lee
And Travis Scott
And Ariane Gwanda
While being attacked by
Djoku and Wick
Darth Vader
John Wick
It's like what
It's too far
When is enough enough
Is Bugs Bunny in there yet?
We'll be soon
He's in the multiverses right
Bro everything's going in Fortnite
Yeah
And then fucking Claire from Wesleyan
shows up is anything from Nintendo and Fortnite no I don't think so they need to hold the
fort they do you know how valuable that makes their IP true the only place you can play link is
Zelda yeah only place you can play and they were the ones that kind of started the whole thing
was smash bros it was like their brand like crossover thing yeah it was and it was never like
annoying in the same way like multiverses I know people like it whatever but like seeing
are you fighting Stephen universe is just like like
Yeah.
What is connecting?
There's always been like a cohesion with who they choose to be in Smash Bros.
And it was like a badge of honour.
Yeah.
And it always works.
There's not a character in, apart from like Joker.
Not as in like, oh I see.
Like, not the Joker.
Yeah.
Joker feels a bit weird to me.
But like every character works.
Like we understand that my Nintendo, they value their integrity quite a lot.
Yeah.
but it's a Japanese company run by very old school people
they care about money
how much money would you think Fortnite pay to get Mario in Fortnite
we're talking polio most expensive IP
but think long term they're like in it to keep
Mario forever
Mario will make money forever
like no but they don't they're not giving up the IP
in giving Fortnite they're just giving the whites for them to put him in Fortnite
skin, they're not losing anything else
they're just making billions. No, it does devalue it though.
I don't think it does. Having like
Master Chief in Fortnite is like
It makes no difference
To Halo. It does.
No, because Halo's trash anyway. It's the best thing
that happened to Halo in years. Okay, um
Marcus Phoenix.
Once again. Cretus.
Cretus, him being in
Fortnite. That I say yes
to that one.
Spider-Man.
No, he's in fun.
That's worth us anyway
Marvel
It's just like a feeling thing
I don't know
I don't know how to explain it
No but no but the thing is bro
Fortnite consumes all
It's got fucking Dragon Bullsee and Naruto
Like if it's consuming anime shit now
It's wanting out of things to consume
It's done all the Marvel stuff
I guarantee you they've approached Nintendo
Yeah
And Nintendo would have said no
But I'm just thinking like
Because Fortnite is so profitable
They're making like
Amounts of money
That is so obscene
What about when it gets to a point
Where there's so much wealth
They can literally be like
Look just for one Mario skin
We're talking like a half a billion dollar deal
That's what I mean
And they'd have to be stupid
To deny that kind of cash
Because they would
Here's the thing
Think what Western franchises
Aren't in Fortnite
weird the fucking Tony Sopano's no
in Fortnite yet I guess the only ones
that aren't in Fortnite are the ones that are 18 plus
like because like every new thing that's coming out
is in Fortnite like Dune stuff
was in Fortnite exactly every
every major Western franchises
and now they're going to Japan
they're they are running out
so naturally they're going to hold
out till they can get the big boy Mario
in there or Wario any type
of Mario character and it's
boom everyone on
by it.
Like,
we're gonna get fucking
Yoko Litna
from Gou and Lagan next.
Like,
we go,
death note.
Yeah.
They have to go deep
into anime stuff
to keep,
keep flooding machine
full of IPs.
For Nintendo
gonna have to give up.
They'll hold out there
because they'll get the best price.
Yeah,
that'll be the last one.
Yeah.
The last bastion.
Bastion, yeah.
Like,
come a fucking approach us
for quite.
sakes.
Yeah, we will break before
our Nintendo.
We will.
Definitely.
Absolutely.
But what would our
Fortnite skins be?
I was just reading
like Samus was
looking like
it was looking like Samus
was going to be in Fortnite.
And
Nintendo refused Sammas
to be in Fortnite.
That doesn't mean they refused.
That means that they weren't paid enough.
Offer wasn't big enough.
I don't think there is an offer big enough for Nintendo.
No, there will be.
What about if they offered a billion?
Yeah, a billion.
Straight up, Mario's gone.
I think Nintendo knows.
Do you know how much, like, value that would add to their company just to get a billion, like, cash injection?
But why, why would Fortnite do that?
Because they make money.
They're not going to make a billion.
They're making a big
load of money
Well, people would buy
like an Ariana Grande
skin
than they would buy
a Mario skin
No
It's Mario bro
It's Mario Bros
Also there's a Mario movie
coming up by Illumination
Can we stop talking about
Integrity by fucking Nintendo?
True
A movie is different
When it goes into different mediums
Like a Mario backpack
Whatever
A Mario lunchbox
Whatever
But when it's a game
If you see Mario in a game, it needs a certain pizzars, you know?
It needs a Nintendo feel.
I see what you're saying that, but we'll see.
Saying that, Mario raving rabbits, fucking Ubisoft.
Yeah, was a Switch exclusive, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nintendo are very competitive and they don't like...
Yeah, because surely they wouldn't like Mario.
being on PlayStation, being on
Xbox being on it. Yeah. Yeah. Because
Mario link
whoever... Well, they make him a Fortnite
Switch exclusive.
You can only buy
him if you play on the Switch
or you have a Switch account. See, I
could see that happening. That's what
it comes down to. They don't like
cross-platform.
No, because they know only being able
to play Mario on Nintendo devices
makes Nintendo
richer. It makes Nintendo. It makes Nintendo.
devices more.
Is Family Guy in Fortnite?
Surely that would
be the first to shell out to Fortnite.
You bet Fortnite won't even
go for fucking Family Guy.
The Simpsons in it?
I guess they are the Western
media they still got to consume.
I just want like
Tank Dempsey in it. That's the means I'd probably
play it.
Well,
James, there's one here
for you. From Yarden
m3 z. James, this must be addressed. Nobody in America says frick, besides 13 year olds who are
afraid to say fuck, and adults who are around 13 year olds. As an American of 22 years,
I cannot fathom where you've gotten this idea from. Do they not follow any American?
Do they not have any suggested treats from any Americans? I see it regularly. Mainly on Twitter.
It might just be a Twitter thing. But I've not said the Frick thing for a while.
Who the fuck's using Frick besides Americans?
This is what I mean
No argument has fallen to pieces
Nobody
Nobody uses frick
Could be British people
If I see a British person
Use frick
You have to beat the shit out of them
Like if you're English
And you're using frick
Come on
Use fuck
I've not actually made the frick thing
For a while
Because I was just like
I knew it was shit all along
So I don't know
I don't know what it's being brought back up
Well, we got this one from Azkuman. Hi boys, hope you're well. I recently listened to the episode where you talked about metagaming, the ordinary things in life, and I can relate to that. Being a bus driver in a smallish city in Finland, where I drive a lot of the same routes with little variables, heavy traffic or other obstructions, etc. I optimize the hell out of my driving, things like where and when to accelerate, when to let off the accelerator, when to start slowing down, when I put on my turn signal, using upshunds,
and down shifts to optimize rolling, et cetera, aiming for an efficient but smooth driving experience for me,
my passengers and the drivers around me.
When all of this goes smoothly, it's the most satisfying feeling when driving for a living,
and the more you drive the same route, the more optimized it gets.
I'm sure James and Alex can relate to this, James being a driving kind of person,
and presumably driving a lot of the same routes to from work, or to the weird end of Chippenham,
and Alex liking the regenerative braking aspects of his EV.
Anyway, I love you guys, what you do, and the cast has been with me through the most boring and worst work days.
Cheers, ASQ.
I have something to say about this, and that's that I think less people understand physics than we think.
Definitely.
Because it's driving a car, you learn physics quite quickly because you're in a rolling object, right?
The amount of people, this pisses me off a lot, is that break downhill.
Why do people break downhill?
Because you're losing momentum.
using more fuel because when you get back to level you have to speed up again to hit the
speed limit well if you're an EV you get power back you don't you're not you aren't
breaking the cars using the friction to charge its batteries you're not breaking I
understand down the current yes but that's that's a thing EVs do but if you're going the
speed limit and you reach a hill and then you go over the speed limit what harm's being
done there well some people don't like breaking the law in any capacity whatsoever
But this is the thing, they'll break, it's like if you're going downhill and you're going to level road again afterwards, it's just every hill, you're going to slow down when you're level again.
Yeah, but you accelerate, you don't even accelerate isn't a problem when you're going downhill.
Well, legally, legally, it's like you can't break the speed limit, but efficiency-wise, you never break going downhill.
No, one thing I've noticed with drivers not understanding physics is you're either, your foot is on the gas.
or your foot is on the brake.
People don't roll.
A lot of people don't roll.
Which is like, if I am coming up to traffic lights
and I'm pretty far away and they're turning red.
You don't start braking then.
You start breaking as you get close to.
You don't wait until you reach there to slow down.
You just stop.
You roll and then you put on your brakes as you approach.
Yeah.
Because that's a gradual slowing down.
Instead of accelerator, brake.
last minute. My, my mom does it especially and it's like, it's the most, the way she drives
isn't smooth because it's like, accelerate and break. There's no subtlety and there's no, it's not
smooth. It's horrible driving. You just got a wall. As soon as you learn rolling, driving's really
piss easy because it's just like, oh, I'm going faster in the car head. So you don't accelerate
and then you match their speed pretty quickly. And then it's smooth. You don't have to touch
the brakes. As soon as you touch the brakes, you're losing efficiency and you're wasting fuel.
But most people are just horrible drivers
though and that's fair
Yeah
But I think more people need to learn
How to utilise their car better
Saying that I'm sure a lot of people
Will have
Experienced us doing something on the road
And thought that was shit driving
No I think I think every person on the road
Hates me
I think every person on the road
Hates every other person on the road
It's kind of the defaults day
Me especially because I don't drive in a straight line
I'm like this all the time
Because if I go over it
But that's not your fault.
No, that's my car's fault.
It's the council's fault.
Yeah, that's the thing.
And it's like, on one of the roads I go to,
it's like a narrowish, like hedges along every side,
outside of a town,
I'm literally just outside my work.
On the side I'm driving on the left,
half of the road is like,
there's the road,
there's the other half of the road, you know?
Because it's so damaged and they've not repaired it.
So where do I drive?
In the center of the road,
because then I'm not driving on the dodgy bit.
And then people,
would clearly look at that and think I'm
incapable and I'm dangerous
because I'm driving
in the middle of two lanes
but if you fucking
fix your roads I'd use them
so I'm going to use the road that I pay
for. Saying that
there's road works in a core part
of shipping them at the minute
that has made me understand
why the council might avoid fixing a lot
of roads because it fucks
everything up. It ruins
like they let it get to
such a degree where that road was like
fucked. You're going to, you're
on that road and you're fucking
bouncing. You can barely control
the wheel because like, you're
like 45 degree angle. It's not level.
The road was never level and it was so many
layers of road works that would just be like a
spaghetti fucking junction. Yeah.
You wobble everywhere. So
I understand them leaving it to that degree
because now that they're fixing it
is fucked.
It is, this is the thing.
It's the entirety of the town. Because
the UK has never invested in building new roads
so every road is so old school
that when you need to fix them there's no other alternative way
because there's no roads so everything gets fucked
that hence the town I drive-through is one of the worst paved
it's like a town that takes a minute to drive-through yet
it's possibly the worst paved road in the UK
because they've just slabbed everything on quickly
so every bit of road work is like it's got to be done in the day
so it's nothing smooth and it's all bumpy
So I have to dodge
I drive my car to dodge potholes
It's all I ever do
So people clearly look at that
And think I'm incapable
But I'm not incapable
Because I'm paying enough attention to dodge the potholes
That you drive through and burst your tires on
Yeah
This is the thing I've never ever got a punch of from a pothole
And I've hit a pottle at a hundred mile now and it did nothing
Does that
make you
dodging potholes all the time
pointless? No. I just don't know how people
pop their tails on potholes because I never have.
Oh, okay. Because you just dodge them. And even
if you go in it, as you don't as you dodge it, you're fine.
Going back to the question,
there is a lot of satisfaction
to be derived from, like...
Being smooth. Stuff you do
all the time. Refining it.
Like perfecting it. Because it's
like a bell curve type thing
where it's like boredom
and time with it.
and it's like
when it's new
there's not much boredom
but then the more you do it
it gets really boring
and then once boredom is maximised
then you start finding ways
to like make it more interesting
and perfect that thing
and then it becomes more interesting again
and then once it's perfected
it starts getting boring again
no that's why you throw curve balls
to learn how to drive really smooth
with one hand cellar tape to the wheel
or learn how to drive with
now arms and your chin on the wheel.
You know?
That's how I made driving fun again.
So let's take my hand to the wheel and just drive.
Mm-hmm.
It's fun.
Perfecting things.
Or like drive to London and you can't change gear.
Yeah.
You have to be in reverse the whole time.
No, one thing I think the UK needs to address is that the more SUVs we have,
the more heavier vehicles we have, the quicker woes deteriorate.
yet these people are paying less road tax
in a fucking motor than a small car
yeah
can we stop everything in just address
Alex
what about me
what does it mean
what when you do that
do what is it demeaning
I didn't do shit
are you demeaning someone
huh
I don't know what you're talking about
what are you talking about what does it mean
what does it mean Alex
what does it mean what does it mean
what does what mean
how to get burned
how to get burned
what does it mean
what does it mean
what does what mean
what does what mean
Alex
James do you know what
I'm talking about
yes
what
it's demeaning
and I think everyone
if they ever see
in B&U
I free crash into it
because it might be Alex
yeah
and he's probably
gonna demean you
when
is it demeaning
yes or not
the last thing
you'll see is
what does it mean
is it demeaning
Is it like
These do you have to describe for
Someone who's listening
Because they're going to be like
What are you talking about?
But I want you to describe it
Describe what?
I don't know what the hell you're on about
But you were just like
You need to describe it for the audio listeners
So you know what it means
Because you just made direct
Thank you for watching this episode
of the JAR Media podcast
We hope you have it a good time
Be safe, drive
Perfect your driving
And learn to not break downhills
Thank you for watching

No, no, I give an interview with him.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yes.

We're going to put it in front of the camera.
No.
Go.
Ew.
That's disgusting.
Oh, you hate that.
Is it real or is it just because it's going to wait and hold it.
It's coming out more.
Ew.
Ew.
Oh.
Why are they coxing weird?
I hate dog coke.
Why is it when you bring attention to it?
It just comes out even more.
Yeah.
He's a voyeur.
Yeah, an exhibitionist, sorry.
You're creepy.
