Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:25 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.
Starting point is 00:00:41 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.
Starting point is 00:00:57 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
Starting point is 00:01:11 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
Starting point is 00:01:29 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?
Starting point is 00:02:02 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?
Starting point is 00:02:16 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.
Starting point is 00:02:35 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
Starting point is 00:02:59 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
Starting point is 00:03:10 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
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:38 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
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:41 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?
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:12 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...
Starting point is 00:06:33 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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...
Starting point is 00:07:07 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 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
Starting point is 00:07:39 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
Starting point is 00:07:55 goon. Yeah. But that's... It's like a low-level goon. But, but... Ye old goon squad?
Starting point is 00:08:06 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
Starting point is 00:08:15 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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.
Starting point is 00:08:49 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
Starting point is 00:09:05 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...
Starting point is 00:09:21 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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
Starting point is 00:09:44 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
Starting point is 00:09:55 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,
Starting point is 00:10:07 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,
Starting point is 00:10:25 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?
Starting point is 00:10:46 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?
Starting point is 00:11:12 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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.
Starting point is 00:11:48 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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?
Starting point is 00:12:25 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?
Starting point is 00:12:44 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,
Starting point is 00:13:12 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:46 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.
Starting point is 00:15:25 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.
Starting point is 00:15:50 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
Starting point is 00:16:05 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
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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?
Starting point is 00:18:10 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
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:16 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
Starting point is 00:19:29 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.
Starting point is 00:19:38 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
Starting point is 00:19:52 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
Starting point is 00:20:07 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
Starting point is 00:20:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:00 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,
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 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?
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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?
Starting point is 00:22:31 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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
Starting point is 00:23:09 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
Starting point is 00:23:23 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
Starting point is 00:23:39 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
Starting point is 00:24:18 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
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:12 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.
Starting point is 00:25:22 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?
Starting point is 00:25:36 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
Starting point is 00:25:52 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
Starting point is 00:26:10 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.
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:41 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
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:13 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 Yeah That sounds crazy That feels fucking crazy Crazy expertly questionable but yeah I'm I'm really excited for Kung
Starting point is 00:27:45 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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
Starting point is 00:28:37 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
Starting point is 00:28:56 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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,
Starting point is 00:29:41 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?
Starting point is 00:29:50 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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.
Starting point is 00:30:17 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
Starting point is 00:30:39 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
Starting point is 00:30:53 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
Starting point is 00:31:11 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:37 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
Starting point is 00:31:52 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,
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:30 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.
Starting point is 00:32:49 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?
Starting point is 00:33:03 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
Starting point is 00:33:17 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
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.
Starting point is 00:34:08 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.
Starting point is 00:34:24 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.
Starting point is 00:34:39 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
Starting point is 00:34:58 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
Starting point is 00:35:11 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
Starting point is 00:35:26 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
Starting point is 00:35:40 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.
Starting point is 00:35:53 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.
Starting point is 00:36:22 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.
Starting point is 00:36:44 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.
Starting point is 00:36:55 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.
Starting point is 00:37:09 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.
Starting point is 00:37:25 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?
Starting point is 00:37:42 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
Starting point is 00:37:55 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
Starting point is 00:38:07 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
Starting point is 00:38:20 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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
Starting point is 00:39:02 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
Starting point is 00:39:22 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
Starting point is 00:39:35 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
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:40:12 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?
Starting point is 00:40:32 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
Starting point is 00:40:52 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
Starting point is 00:41:04 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?
Starting point is 00:41:22 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.
Starting point is 00:41:44 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
Starting point is 00:41:58 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
Starting point is 00:42:10 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:43:01 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.
Starting point is 00:43:26 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...
Starting point is 00:43:42 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
Starting point is 00:43:54 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.
Starting point is 00:44:10 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?
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah The grass Oh yeah, shit Yeah He could solve this He could predict the future But there's I wonder who that is
Starting point is 00:44:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:47 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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?
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:36 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.
Starting point is 00:45:50 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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
Starting point is 00:46:21 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
Starting point is 00:46:43 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
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:20 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
Starting point is 00:47:39 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
Starting point is 00:47:52 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
Starting point is 00:48:05 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.
Starting point is 00:48:29 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
Starting point is 00:49:05 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.
Starting point is 00:49:25 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.
Starting point is 00:49:39 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.
Starting point is 00:49:58 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
Starting point is 00:50:14 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
Starting point is 00:50:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:55 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?
Starting point is 00:51:12 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...
Starting point is 00:51:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:43 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?
Starting point is 00:51:57 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.
Starting point is 00:52:15 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
Starting point is 00:52:31 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.
Starting point is 00:52:46 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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,
Starting point is 00:53:06 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?
Starting point is 00:53:19 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.
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:44 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?
Starting point is 00:53:56 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
Starting point is 00:54:20 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 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.
Starting point is 00:55:01 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
Starting point is 00:55:23 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.
Starting point is 00:55:43 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.
Starting point is 00:56:00 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
Starting point is 00:56:17 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
Starting point is 00:56:33 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
Starting point is 00:56:47 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
Starting point is 00:57:00 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
Starting point is 00:57:17 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,
Starting point is 00:57:32 we're gonna get fucking Yoko Litna from Gou and Lagan next. Like, we go, death note. Yeah. They have to go deep
Starting point is 00:57:40 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.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Yeah, that'll be the last one. Yeah. The last bastion. Bastion, yeah. Like, come a fucking approach us for quite.
Starting point is 00:58:00 sakes. Yeah, we will break before our Nintendo. We will. Definitely. Absolutely. But what would our Fortnite skins be?
Starting point is 00:58:10 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.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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.
Starting point is 00:58:41 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
Starting point is 00:59:04 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
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:25 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.
Starting point is 00:59:52 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
Starting point is 01:00:07 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
Starting point is 01:00:24 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
Starting point is 01:00:40 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,
Starting point is 01:00:57 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?
Starting point is 01:01:28 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
Starting point is 01:01:38 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
Starting point is 01:01:53 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,
Starting point is 01:02:46 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.
Starting point is 01:03:21 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
Starting point is 01:03:53 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
Starting point is 01:04:34 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.
Starting point is 01:04:52 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
Starting point is 01:05:25 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
Starting point is 01:05:37 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
Starting point is 01:05:53 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.
Starting point is 01:06:06 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.
Starting point is 01:06:22 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
Starting point is 01:06:37 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
Starting point is 01:06:53 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
Starting point is 01:07:09 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
Starting point is 01:07:25 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
Starting point is 01:07:47 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
Starting point is 01:08:04 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
Starting point is 01:08:24 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.
Starting point is 01:08:40 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
Starting point is 01:08:55 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
Starting point is 01:09:11 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.
Starting point is 01:09:27 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.
Starting point is 01:09:47 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
Starting point is 01:10:00 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
Starting point is 01:10:16 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
Starting point is 01:10:25 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
Starting point is 01:10:33 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
Starting point is 01:10:41 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
Starting point is 01:10:52 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
Starting point is 01:11:02 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 Goodbye
Starting point is 01:11:12 Invest in a jetpack companies. No, injecting drone companies. Injecting drone. Inject your brain into drone. No, inject into submarines. Or rhinos. Oh yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:11:35 No, no, I give an interview with him. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. What? That's it. Oh, we've got a lipstick. We're actually We're going to put it in front of the camera.
Starting point is 01:11:53 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.
Starting point is 01:12:04 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.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Yeah, an exhibitionist, sorry. You're creepy.
