Starting point is 00:01:54 I want to talk to you about That I've been saving from this past week but before we get too deep into that let me shout out the jar media patrons that make the audio version and the show just in general possible uh yeah you get the audio version you get your names read out if you're a db tier or above each and every week last episode sorry each month in the first or second week tripping over myself over here um last week i mentioned this jar media group chat feature that's if you're if you're a if you're a patron you can get involved on you can have a little look at checked in i've been checking
Starting point is 00:02:26 him periodically extremely chill not seeing anything suspicious which is very good um so like a few out well this morning um i was like i'm gonna record later is there anything i need to remember from the last week that'll be funny to bring up whatever and there's some good suggestions um so this is quite a handy tool actually uh because this is one thing about the jarlings right it's like i've always had a bad memory right but going on the more things I consume the more the older I get it's getting worse so now we're at a point where there are people that know things I've said better than me in the audience oh yeah you know yeah so well actually in episode 1 8 oh you say you don't believe this you believe this
Starting point is 00:03:16 because of this there's one instance of it being recorded 10 years ago you yeah Well, I guess I have to go back on that. Yeah. So let's just go straight into housekeeping because we got some good conversations from that last week. We got to round off. And it ain't to do with my tosy-woosies. I don't like showing them anymore if I'm being real.
Starting point is 00:03:39 People get a bit funny, a bit weird. But, like, I'm a warm guy. I have a bit of reputation in some families as the shorts guy. Mr. Shorts over here. and I used to fight that but now it's been pointed out to me that whenever I get slightly warm I start turning the clothes I'm wearing
Starting point is 00:03:58 into shorts even if they're not shorts right so for example get a little bit too hot instead of putting shorts on I just pull the other things up develop shorts it's like yeah hybrid shorts
Starting point is 00:04:11 it's your like evolution nice um so yeah let's round out some of those conversations from that previous episode Cream Jerry Cream Can get us started here Bears
Starting point is 00:04:22 We are the Patrions over at Patreon Not patrons over at Patreon My bad And speaking of the Jar Group chat I had two things in here That wanted to
Starting point is 00:04:34 They wanted to relay To you Specifically Gebbie said Tell Jim on the pod I love him And everything No I love him
Starting point is 00:04:44 With everything I have I messed that up What how much do you have um well that's a good question because it better be a lot you know what I'm saying down straight and uh Timothy mark aka Bidiot Bales says please ask Jim if he'd still smoke a cigarette if they wriggled around like worms
Starting point is 00:05:02 definitely worth considering now because who knows what the future may bring a worm are at excellent point um would you like that would that put you off I think if they well there's I'm assuming the end of is still hot, so if they're mega wriggling, that's like burns something. I'm picturing
Starting point is 00:05:24 like, they're wriggling, they're active, like, crazy until you like them, where they chill out. They're still wriggling a little bit, but not like danger wriggle, you know? Okay. More of a writhing. Rithing into calmness. Yeah. Or maybe
Starting point is 00:05:42 you know, like, the stereotypical, like, French lady with the, I don't even know what you call them, to like, extend your cigarettes so it's like miles away if you put the worm in one of those so then it's wriggling
Starting point is 00:05:54 you're not going to get burnt maybe that's like just what smoking would be yeah yeah um yeah I mean people have been
Starting point is 00:06:05 addicted to weirder stuff so yeah I mean if someone discovered like a psychoactive worm or something I'm sure
Starting point is 00:06:17 they exist. In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't. Yeah, all the things that we derive these substances from are like worms. Mushrooms, plants, tobacco leaves. Tequila worms. Tequila worms.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I feel like there is a worm that does something like that. Psychoactive worm. Maybe I'm just getting Dune mixed up. Yeah, frogs? Yeah, you can get... Hamilick the frog? Yeah. You ever seen that guy who
Starting point is 00:06:45 has got like a TikTok and a YouTube shorts thing where you like just runs around the Everglades going yoink and just picking up the dangerous stuff you've ever seen yeah yoink I saw one where he was holding a poisoned dart frog and it's like and he's like he's holding it and then in the same clip he's like don't pick these up yeah they're insanely how yeah I thought it was like you touch it it's gonna kill you um I guess maybe it's like a stress response they release a toxin and I don't know if it's just always present on their skin or if he is it only if you lick your hand afterwards or if like you have to like lick the
Starting point is 00:07:23 frog like there's that whole simpson's episode where they're getting high off the frogs yeah um where the hammer does because he's like depressed in africa that was what that was probably one of my first introductions to like the concept of like that sort of thing drugs yeah but like even then it didn't i didn't even make the connection that's like the same thing yeah like it was just like as a kid like what it was just funny because he's like licking a frog and his his his eyes that's right yeah yeah there must be so many of those simpsons gags it just went like straight over yeah they had yeah as a kiddie um here is one four seven says the fact that no one noticed one of jim's balls hanging out for around 10 minutes in
Starting point is 00:08:11 the middle is insane yeah at the bottom of my jeans I think you were actually wearing shorts, weren't you? Was they? Last episode? I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I read, for a reason, because they were, I read this comment, and I looked at myself, and I was like, I'm wearing jeans. Well, maybe, yeah, well, I mean, it was you, so I'm not gonna. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:33 You were wearing shorts. Last episode. Yeah. Yeah. I can, I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure, I wasn't. Okay. It must have been a reference to that time I did wear shorts. and the commenter actually like made me scared
Starting point is 00:08:49 because I was like there's no well yeah except first I was like what if a ball dead then I thought that I had the same thought but then I remembered wait I edited this whole thing I would have seen yeah that's the exact kind of thing I'm looking for
Starting point is 00:09:04 when I'm editing it yeah yeah that would be a crazy thing to slip past the goalie no one I'm saying um I feel like it's possible, you know, you can never be certain. I'll tell you what's possible, though, it's getting, getting trolled, getting played with by the community. Do you remember last episode, there was a question that was like, if you had to choose between gaming and...
Starting point is 00:09:38 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bacon? That was it. It was just, like, absurd, and I somehow didn't twig it. even though I screenshot it and, like, brought it up. Like, couldn't even read it properly when I was reading it, but the joke's on us, apparently.
Starting point is 00:09:55 JK.G. Tube said, Chuckle Sandwich's question for their guests on their podcast, were to deliberately like that as a joke to get the reaction exactly like you guys gave? So I think this is J. Schlatz podcast or something. They have this, um, as like a recurring gag, which is a funny idea. I'd just never heard of this, I don't.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I'm no good with, like, references or memes or any of this stuff. I don't know. Yeah, like you said, we're getting old. As everyone in the comments keeps reminding us. Everyone in the comments, every time I look at my ID and see what number I'm at now. Yeah, I'm saying? Every time I look in the mirror and see another crevice of a wrinkle that's formed. I feel like I need more crevices.
Starting point is 00:10:45 I feel like that's one of my biggest problems, actually. actually. Everyone says I've got like a baby face that like you're really that age. I've got that like so much. Which I don't know does that. I feel like maybe that would be more valuable if I was a lady. I don't know if it's really has the same thing for a dude. Is that like what is what is good about that? We have the same pressure of like yeah an old like. Yeah. Yeah. I'm. I'm. Do people care in the same? I don't think so. Different brushes. I mean, you don't want to be old,
Starting point is 00:11:27 but you want to be seen as an adult, you know? When I get ID for, like, a monster. Mm-hmm. You know, it's like... Yeah. It doesn't make you feel good, you know? It's like...
Starting point is 00:11:43 It's like an inconvenience. Do you think I'm a widdle baby? Well, am I a baby to you? Yeah. My little Red Bull drinking baby to you? Yeah, that's the implication. Hmm. You think I'm...
Starting point is 00:11:54 Take it personal. You think I don't know how to give myself paracetamol? Uh, the Enigma 2-897 says meteorite crashes into the earth. Total annihilation imminent. The comments here from last week. Damn, I wonder how Jim will weigh in on this one. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah. Do you think there are people that do that where they're like, something happens and they're like, can't wait for Joe Rogan to talk about this tomorrow. Yeah. Probably, yeah. Because I get that with the nerdy stuff that are like hyper focused on like a genre of game or something or like something in the film industry or something that's interesting to me and my hyperfixation. Like, I'll have that thought was like, oh, I can't wait to hear a thingy's take on.
Starting point is 00:12:46 this thing in this niche world that I can... Well, yeah, the classic is album comes out, am I allowed to like it best way for the fantine? Yeah, yeah. Let's end this segment then
Starting point is 00:13:00 with this one from the real detenshi. You should put me in your next jar cast but like, just put me in as a random voice you talk to sometimes. Don't explain it and don't like acknowledge it in any way. Just have me appear sometimes.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And nobody knows what's going on. I think that would be a really funny joke. It would make your audience laugh and so funny. Yell ye pee. As they squirm out of their chairs and into the TV screen to watch more jar media on this fine day today. No grammar in any of that. Like I had to figure out where to take breaths.
Starting point is 00:13:35 So that's good. That's awesome. Thanks for the suggestion, man. Yeah. You got it, dude. I can't work out what, um, the intent yeah
Starting point is 00:13:49 is it sarcasm is it like fan fiction you know you're like writing yourself into the I have this this triggered a really really old memory
Starting point is 00:14:00 of um back when I was in the flat I remember a jar listener emailing being like can I do work experience at the jar thing I had to be like I run this out of my flat
Starting point is 00:14:11 that would be kind of inappropriate yeah yeah I was like okay it was like a whole pitch and everything I was like this is funny but this
Starting point is 00:14:22 I can imagine That'd be awesome Um Work Like I experienced eating dominoes Yeah Yeah We talked about poo
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah On a podcast And drank one 440 mill Fatches blackberry I wasn't even drinking at that time yeah I'd have like two half cans and be
Starting point is 00:14:51 dribbling now bro I feel a little bit bad for not bringing this up last week because the reveal actually happened back then you remember
Starting point is 00:15:03 journal media shit posts right uh huh uh huh um aka this project is retired old school jarling um
Starting point is 00:15:13 ran this cool like fan jar page with some clips it has like these different animations on there it's like a cool fan project thing they disappeared or so we thought turned out yeah like a week ago
Starting point is 00:15:29 the jar media clips channel that's been going for a long time and recently has like clipped out so many of the good clips and they've done such a like a thorough job they're like running out and they know this stuff better than us so like they need help clearly if they need more stuff but just randomly on
Starting point is 00:15:50 like I'll include the screenshot on the screen right now for those listening uh sorry for those watching yeah for those watching getting confused um yeah they just revealed like yep that i was them the whole time i was charmedia shit posts and i'm actually this it's been like a proxy they've been like yeah they've been holding holding this off this reveal yeah it's like cool just for your no one asked you to do that it was like just for your own satisfaction you kept this little secret
Starting point is 00:16:18 just legendary behavior yeah just dropping it right then and there so shout out you could check out the clips channel um right bro we got a couple options here I actually want to start with the industry jarling can get us going on this topic
Starting point is 00:16:34 seeing how the portal between Dublin and New York failed which two places would the jar boys connect up so for those who somehow don't know who's like idea this was because there are quite a few flaws in the concept you know yeah um they basically built like it's kind of like Skype but in a there's like a screen that's just streaming i guess somewhere in new york and the other one is
Starting point is 00:17:01 somewhere in uh dublin and yeah it's just it's like a portal i guess is the idea so you can have a little glimpse into what's happening in another part of the world yeah it's like just in a street right yeah uh so of course immediately women are like lifting their tops up uh flashing people in dublin holding up like clips of 9-11 to the new yorkers um so it's already been like shut down i guess it's just like what dublin won that battle yeah god damn so what you think first of what are you thinking secondly i'm sure there's some explanation for it but why those two places. I want to see, I want to see two places that have got way more like beef with each
Starting point is 00:17:45 other, you know? Some deep conflict. Mm, no. Get one in China, one in America. I just want to, you know. Dude, you could do so much worse than that. Yeah, I bet. You know what I'm saying? Maybe it's these portals is what we need to bring us together.
Starting point is 00:18:03 There's no two places you could do. No, you could do a portal on the same side of town, of one town. could do just the like the circle and it's just glass yeah you know like when you when you have those dogs on either side of the glass and then they they see each other in person they're fine yeah and then they go on the other side of the glass and they're like yeah yeah it's that thing like you can't if you're just asking for it if people if people have anything between like real conflict and any way to abstract them from like responsibilities yeah
Starting point is 00:18:41 from the real conflict, then they're just going to be assholes. Yeah, of course. And it's like, there's no barrier. It's just, like, in the street. It's not, like, in a museum that you've got to, like, pay to get in. It's just there. Yeah. What an awful fucking idea.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I mean, like, it's cool. It's cool. It's theoretically cool. Um... But they could have done it way cooler. Yeah. Or way more, like, controlled. They have caught
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah You just wazard a bunch of money really I guess Nice one I mean it can't have cost that much Surely Because like you said it's like a stream Yeah it's just Skype I'm sure they they
Starting point is 00:19:29 Pumped a ridiculous amount of money into it Yeah This is gonna just the next I wonder what the delay is too Yeah Because some streamers have it like set up So they're purposefully like a few minutes ahead so if they say something bad they have enough time to like
Starting point is 00:19:44 do something about it um i don't know if that's built into it probably not probably not well what's the point when it's when it's just people you know hmm where would you put a portal east side and west side i do i do a portal like like just have one in some guy's bathroom and time square you know
Starting point is 00:20:22 still New York but like just just some guy's bathroom anywhere in the world just some guy's bath where you put into like a raffle like you put your name into a hat and it's like no it's more like this guy just wakes up and it's there
Starting point is 00:20:36 you know and he can't get rid of it maybe if that was like one of the just social norms is like you're put into a raffle and like to be part of the country there's just a chance like jury duty you're going to be pulled up
Starting point is 00:20:50 and be put on the screen your entertainment for you're going to be Truman for a day yeah okay I can get down with that what can't get down with is the hunt for Gollum
Starting point is 00:21:04 Gollum you heard about this pro Gollum Gollum Like, you know I'm Mr. Gollum, look at me, remember? Like, double Gollum. Golem.
Starting point is 00:21:20 The hunt for Golem. Is Golem spelt Gollum? No, GEOL-E-M, right? Golem. Gollum is L-L-U-M. Gollum! Yeah. But yeah, are you hyped that he's coming back? Who's back?
Starting point is 00:21:42 The Gollum movie, bro. It's happening. What? I'm serious. No. I'm serious. The Gollum movie's happening. Really?
Starting point is 00:21:51 I'm serious. What, based on the game? Well, what happened was the game came out and everyone loved it so much. There's so much Gollum hype of it, man. There's so much Gollum, man. I'm serious. Andy Circus directing, Peter Jackson, producing. what's the name,
Starting point is 00:22:08 Fran Walsh, I think, right, too, is that a name? I don't know. Why? Jackson's wife. My knee. Yeah. Oh, that's such a shame. How much does that suck?
Starting point is 00:22:21 Two confirmed, Lord of the Rings's continuation movie things. The first one has been confirmed to be this Gollum movie. It's called The Hunt for Gollum. What? there's no like story written at this point it's just been announced um because i guess the billions they made on the IP isn't enough they got to keep milk in the IP they own it they've got to use it right they got to they got a milk gollum for all these words yeah gollum's getting milked man it's just so pathetic this character exists within a story for a purpose Yeah, yeah, he's supposed to be The worst case scenario for the main character
Starting point is 00:23:08 Yeah That's what makes his place in the story So powerful and so effective When you stick him by himself Yeah When he's the main, like what's the conflict What's the story? Yeah, what can you do with that
Starting point is 00:23:23 And like the best thing you can do with it Is worse than if you took those same ideas And made your own thing Yeah And like it was They were already pushing it with like the way they approach the Hobbit, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And the best part from those movies was the Gollum scene. And everyone was so... They had the excuse there. It's like written. Yeah. There's like word for word in the book. Yeah, like it has to be there.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah, you have to have that scene. It didn't feel like, oh, we're whipping Gollum up again because it was more like, thank God there's this famous gollum scene. We can adapt and we've got the visual effects now and we got Andy Circus and it kind of works out that way. Whereas this, it's like, it's insulting that, I guess the, the, the, the impetus of the story and the storytelling and like wanting to tell a story is so unimportant and the only thing that matters is brand recognition is characters that already cemented is taking risk out because it's pop culture thing you know it's this is our baby yoder i guess we got to do the baby the gollum movie because you know because he's probably the most recognizable like uh image or catchphrase dispenser from that franchise um yeah they don't really have any like like cute things or like a Yoda or whatever that they can put on t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Gollums, one of the closest they've got. And yeah, everyone loves that performance so much. And Andy Circus, I mean, him directing it is not good either. I've seen, I guess, two of his movies. The first was Mowgli. That was horrendous. They think it was like a Netflix, fully animated, uh, jungle book thing, which came out very close to the John Favreau one. So it was just, it came out after.
Starting point is 00:25:17 So it was just, yeah, dead. Um, and they used like the mocap stuff and like tried to put on the animals. And it was just really creepy looking and wrong. Um, and then recently he directed Venom too. so yeah that's Andy circus yes okay uh has he directed anything else um he was like second unit director on like some of the hobbit i think um okay i don't know if he's done any big features he was keynote loy he was keeno loy and that was keynote yeah that was awesome but yeah not that I think my favorite part of that shit
Starting point is 00:26:05 was keen on a lot. Really? More than the heist? Yeah. For real, wow. The way it ended, I was like... Mm-hmm. Everyone watched Handel, yeah. Yeah. The hunt for
Starting point is 00:26:20 desperately squeezing the flannel to get every last drop of money from an IP. Yeah. When will they learn? they won't classic Sonic fan when will they learn
Starting point is 00:26:36 yeah when will they learn your actions have consequences that's the thing that is that their actions never have consequences well the consequences
Starting point is 00:26:47 oh we made the three Hobbit movies and they made loads and loads of money loads of money yeah but like it's not enough is it yeah they've got to keep doing it until they like
Starting point is 00:26:58 they've already done the Amazon on... Which is apparently getting another season this year. Huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:06 It's their most watch show ever. What? Yeah. Even more than Fallout, which was number two now. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Who? I think the brand is that powerful. It's like... Who does fuck watch that? This is our Star Wars type thing. Well, I watched it, but I mean, that's not that surprising.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Yeah, but like, other than you, I've never heard or seen any discourse about it i would like to see the stats after the first episode um like what the drop-off is yeah i'm sure lots of people tuned in that first week thinking oh maybe there's something to this yeah yeah but you figure out pretty quick that there ain't got what nothing nothing show and then the trailer for the new one looks pretty similar to you it's just someone interesting so just like you have to have a story first it's just pointless other You're just playing in this, like, reference playground.
Starting point is 00:28:03 It's so tired, so boring. Oh, just get over it. Jesus Christ, let it die. Please. It is, it's ironic, because, like, Gollum is this, like, creature that isn't allowed to die. Yeah. You know, it's, like, part of the curse. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 You're not letting it. Yeah, his lust for this thing. Yeah, this valuable. Keeps him alive. Like, like. No matter what happens. Yeah. So incredibly insulting to Tolkien as well, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You're not even adapting anything at this point. You're just like making up fan fiction so you can make movies. Yeah. At least give us another, like Mordor game. Yeah, make games or you know what? Maybe even, Pierre Jackson's talked many of times that there's still stuff they shot for Lord of the Rings that could be implemented into the movies,
Starting point is 00:29:03 an extended extended edition. I'd be down with that, even if it's like... Every Lord of the Rings fan would jump at that shit. And I wouldn't... I know this might be like blasphemy, but there are even some things where I'd be like, you could probably do this shot better now. You know, the cave troll in the first movie?
Starting point is 00:29:23 Yeah, do you think that's like... With video games, we get a lot of remasters. Do you think that's going to be a thing for movies ever? I'm surprised they haven't done that yet with like Toy Story 1 with a lot of animated movies like that with that early CG. You could do it with the Incredibles, I feel like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Not that it looks bad by any means, but if it looked as polished as the second movie, bad the story of the first one. Yeah. You know what I mean? But then there's also the whole argument about you don't want to don't hide the old one you don't want to george lucrative anymore like how you're going to approach that
Starting point is 00:30:04 what's yeah it gets complicated but it's also like people would want to see that people would pay for that um they want more i want to see bugs life freedom that's what i love life yeah yeah so everything's a bit less like smooth yeah see some textures on things give them that like 3d detailed Mario vibe yeah you want to see like every pore on yeah on the Ants. On flicks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:31 To have paws. The insect gel thing needs to write in, I guess. Yeah, they've got like exoskeller. There's like a bird in that movie. It's like really scary looking because of that era of CG. Yeah, I want to see, I want to see bugs life, but like they look like real bugs. Oh, 29 teen Lion King. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Yeah, I want live action of bugs life. That's not even that absurd. As far as like something that might happen. um so i want to end this segment by shouting out unless you have anything you really want to bring up too um i've finished reading invincible i've read the whole thing now yeah all three companions yeah at a 10 so i'm in that like slump where after you like finish a good series a good book anything like what do i do with myself just like yeah i was like enjoyed just having these characters like to return to while doing other yeah um
Starting point is 00:31:28 really solid all the way through um the fact that the show has covered like the least interesting part is really exciting and hype if they if they're able to do it it's going to be so good um if they're actually able to keep it going and pull it off uh yeah so much happens so many good characters and like stuff that is in season one and two of the show where like in the show you're like like what is this about like why are you doing this like a hundred issues later you get like the like a payoff for something that they randomly didn't it's like that is brilliant like that is actually so clever um like i'm not going to say i won't spoil anything so don't worry um but like characters that like you're not really that i mean the show
Starting point is 00:32:23 does it too like characters you're not really that invested in or not They just read like a parody or something forgettable But suddenly they get all this development or some This concept gets thrown in Yeah, the whole like what they do of robot? It's like so awesome And whatever the beast girl or whatever Her name is, I'm bad with names As all that and it like delving into
Starting point is 00:32:54 You know we often joke about the like if I had the Superman's power and like all the weird like they basically explore all of that um so it's like natural conclusion it's like oh this is so this is so awesome like the way you keep taking this quick the way you're developing this um so many good characters so many like shocking moments or uh and the momentum just keeps like building uh yeah i don't know if there's anything without like going into any specific details. I did enjoy the like kind of middle section the most, the kind of second compendium, I guess.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Chunk of story where it feels like, oh, you're really fleshing this out. You know, like in the show where they keep doing the, now to tell you where you really come from. They like keep doing that at like certain points through the story. And each time it's like updating you and reframing like the context. And it's like, It's just such a cool structure, and I know you didn't have all of this planned.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You would have had, like, outlines, but the way you've managed to bring this all together, super cool. Yeah, that sounds super impressive. Yeah, I like the art a lot, some really memorable, like, panels, some good jokes. I was, like, laughing at loud at a certain points, like, the timing and praising of things. My biggest quibble was, honestly, was some of the, like, dialogue. Some, like, awkward, like, you've only been. got so many panels to communicate this amount of information or like a concept or something so someone will just drop some like clunkily written like expositiony type line like out of nowhere um but it's so heavy on like the satirical like parody self-awareness that it's like it's hard to even pass at points like what is like a jab what's a yeah genuine attempt to this or that that um yeah a couple of nitpicks here are there but for the most part it was very consistent um
Starting point is 00:35:02 and the last thing i'll say is it's this thing with comic i haven't read many like in full uh every now and again you'll get an issue where the artist is different and there's some when that happens it's like the worst it's really distracting um it's almost like i guess swapping director or something or it's like when batman the animated series every episode is like done by a different studios yeah that's a good studio yeah that's a good way but in it yeah and avatar i think the the last airbanded that's right yeah yeah like uh that was like a drama when it came to the legend of cora and like a different studios doing parts of it and the animation's notably worse it's like yeah it's a similar thing it's not even necessarily that art is worse it's like you're used to
Starting point is 00:35:54 characters looking a certain way, feel in a certain way. And when they're drawn differently, it's like, this is really distracting in a way I didn't anticipate. It's not like a big issue. It's just like every now and again, considering the comic must have been going for like a decade with the same artist for a very significant chunk of it. The odd month off, I feel. It's probably fair.
Starting point is 00:36:16 How dare they? Yeah. Considering that. Yeah, I just hope they're able to. translate the whole thing once you get all these ultramite characters in
Starting point is 00:36:29 and whatnot it's just like I just like it when a writer like they set something up and they just keep taking concepts to their logical extremes
Starting point is 00:36:39 it's like you have the thought of like well why didn't they why won't they just do this thing and then like you turn the page and then they're literally just doing that thing yeah yeah it's so satisfying that like you're just it doesn't feel like you're just
Starting point is 00:36:51 stretching this out it feels like you actually have places you want to take it and things you want to do with the characters and yeah like they're exploring the idea themselves yeah yeah and Mark is just like a really cool protagonist that
Starting point is 00:37:07 he has that Spider-Man thing where it's like they just keep pushing him down but like the stuff he goes through is like horrible like really nasty um by the end and it's like you're there with him for the whole thing and like
Starting point is 00:37:22 yeah yeah it's also i'd recommend reading it if not you're going to be waiting a long ass time um because if if those two seasons were one compendium just got what six seasons um potentially so yeah check it out i'd recommend giving that a read enjoyed that very much so i just have like one story too where some one the most off-putting things about like comics and all that is like, which run is it, which, who's writing what, who's, like, it's quite intimidating. Just knowing there's, like, 150 odd issues, that's the story, pretty much. I've always wanted to, like, read the best of, like, Spider-Man comics.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I've done that for Batman. Yeah, I've read, like, The Killing Joke and Long Halloween and stuff like that. But I feel like that's in a true Batman fan's, like, opinion, the killing joke wouldn't be in there, I don't think. But, like, where do you even find out where to start? Yeah, where to stop. And, like, the context of why something like the killing joke hit the way it did. Yeah. And it did.
Starting point is 00:38:48 And the Dark Night returns. There's lots of, like, context, I feel like, you miss. but I've read The Dark Night Returns too a long time ago and it was like a teenager but that's the way I used to do it and I read a hundred issues
Starting point is 00:39:05 of The Walking Dead as well Coteman's other book but that was too much for me Invincible like it maintains and explores everything you want and then wraps up or is the Walking Dead like
Starting point is 00:39:18 kind of has interesting sections or like arcs But it gets to, like, points where it's like, I don't really... Is it? This is so dower, I, like, can't even... Yeah, yeah. I don't even want to get attached to any long, because what's the point? Is it over now?
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah, yeah, the comic ended ages ago, the Walking Dead comic. And then milk in that, like, show and universe for all it's worth. Yeah. We back up to these messages. Yeah. Dry Media shirts. Now, or I'm going to hurt you. Description below.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Welcome to the second bit where we go over to Reddit and answer some questions from you Pliskins. Nice. Getting into freestyling, are we? Yeah, just dabbling. Well, yeah, head over to the Jal Media subreddit suggestion thread and ask us any question you feel like for future episodes, just like grey tickles did.
Starting point is 00:40:18 If you had to kill each other, what would be your witty remark? Before you did it. If we had to kill each other. Yeah, so like say like whatever Just picture it, you know like on my knees the fight is lost you got the gun to the head What do you say before you pull the trigger and it cuts the black I guess you are a stupid idiot What'd be the worst thing you could say? B. B. B.L. Drizzie Loozer Yeah, poo-poo head alert
Starting point is 00:40:52 Maybe that'd be good It's just like so That's the last thing you hear Yeah, that's big disrespect Yeah, you go down and you whisper Who's the poopoo head in the end then? Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:08 Well, um, what about G Gigi? G G G 07 Um No Hajj replied to that saying Alex Time
Starting point is 00:41:21 We've all got time Or at least you did Gunshot to the hood Jamie I'm feeling riled up Goes beast mode And thumbs his victim's eyes out James
Starting point is 00:41:34 I'm James I always come back Recreates the villain death From Fast and Furious 4 Then the original Question Asker replied to that saying Loll I love Alex's one I imagine the victim
Starting point is 00:41:47 Begging James for sympathy you're trying to change his mind like please please why me james cox gun reasons yeah yeah that's a fire one that's kind of the best one yeah it's like so like you're getting no answer yeah there's there is a reason but i'm not telling you there's multiple reasons yeah a real bad one would just be to go Yeah Something really messed up like that Yeah
Starting point is 00:42:23 Shrug Who cares I'm bored Yeah Something like that Yeah Well Piracy sex and arson says
Starting point is 00:42:33 SpongeBob daughter Or Patrick's son Oh Patrick son I'm taking the sponge daughter Yeah Yeah You know
Starting point is 00:42:43 I feel like Sponge daughter Has more of a chance To integrate than Patrick's No, because I think Patrick's son could easily become like a stockbroker or something. Because Patrick... But he's such a dumbass.
Starting point is 00:42:55 He's confident. You don't need any IQ to be a stockbroker. You just need to walk in and be like... Just take wild gambols, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. And be like... That guy that predicted...
Starting point is 00:43:10 Christine Bale played him in the Big Short or whatever. He's the guy that makes the big prediction on the housing market. That guy in real life, like, after that prediction... They've all been like garbage predictions But like no one cares because He got that one His opinion is still value because of that one Yeah
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yeah So I don't know I'm gonna go with SpongeBob daughter I'm gonna go with Patrick's son Patrick's son Yeah I feel like he's more the kind of I just feel like he'd be more of a drain
Starting point is 00:43:41 Than SpongeBob Spongeb what is an active member of his community He's got a job that he can hold You can't get his job license but what can Patrick drive don't think so yeah you can there's that episode where he just decides to do it and he gets it easy that's a funny idea for an episode but I don't remember that yeah well so here's a license before Bob yeah and then the the joke is that he's driving SpongeBob
Starting point is 00:44:07 somewhere and SpongeBob is like looking for problems and Patrick in a 40 is going 40 and a half miles per hour so then SpongeBob like calls the police on it. Oh man. You got a good SpongeBob memory of it. I've got no memory of that. Dude, Spongebob is my shit. It formed me.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I remember certain episodes really well. You know, like Dirty Dan and all that kind of stuff. Oh, yeah. Classics. Yeah. But that one is evading my memory banks. Rip Flute says, You guys can have this week off. You've earned it.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Thanks. Ah. Woo. You know, I was thinking of um pinhead Patrick as a tattoo and be kind of but apparently that's like a millennial thing to get cartoons as a tattoo that's a millennial thing yeah I'm finding out more and more what are supposedly millennial things yeah what was it saying lull is apparently yeah a real millennial thing but I've had like a whole arc with lull because like being a
Starting point is 00:45:14 millennial everyone's saying lull all the time and texting lol but i had this whole like i'm not gonna use lol yeah thing i'm above when it when it was at his peak but then it was when it started dying was when it was when i was like you know what now it's time to lol yeah now and it hasn't left me since then i'll still say like that's lull or whatever yeah maybe that dates me as a millennial but like it's better than saying that's a w or whatever i'm technically not a millennial yeah what are you am I? That's the question, that's the, that's life's question, you know? 97, what does that make you a, a Gen X? Gen Q? An Exa? You're an Apex Predators, what you are.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Mmm. Oh, oh, oh. I'm a Patrick son. Hmm, well that makes me a sponge daughter if I did say so myself. Um, no working two, two one one says bear bear my two. A couple of episodes ago, Jim brought up how nihilism is a bad way to view the world since it leads to becoming socio, socio, and apathetic to the world. I personally disagree with this idea. Simply acknowledging that we live in a world with no meaning isn't bad on its own.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Life is like a blank canvas. It has no inherent value you have to give it yourself by painting your own path. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. I don't actually, I think, that's not. not what we were saying yes I read all the comments after that episode and I think that was the episode we did before pre-recording the following episode so we never replied to any of the stuff that's right yeah because we talked about guns and stuff like that oh right um the philosophy stuff I think um I definitely didn't didn't get my points across clearly enough it's hard to
Starting point is 00:47:11 when you're talking about big things like yes and it's like multiple sex of nine And people were really upset by your comment on philosophy being mental masturbation. No, I was more talking about the idea of like having the luxury to sit down and just talk. But people were like discounting philosophy like this. You realize the world was built on philosophy. It's like we... But we love philosophy. We spent like half an hour talking about philosophy.
Starting point is 00:47:40 We don't hate philosophy. Of course not. No, that's not what was meant. by that comment yeah um but i mean i'm just brushing into that stuff yeah yeah yeah i know you're memory but yeah um to break that stuff down shut up your dumb um but this was this i i i think my my knee jack is to be like you just don't get me dude but clearly if like you you took away things from what i said like i didn't explain myself well enough right you know and obviously when you say something like nihilism there are some people that have an idea of what
Starting point is 00:48:20 that means so when you say they have that idea but you might be talking about something else so then you're like kind of talking past each other yeah this is part of what i love so much about and what i think a lot of people are most so popular with the film everything everywhere all at once where it's about this exact thing where it's about someone who's reached the conclusion that there is no point to any of this and it is a nihilistic um like overbearing worldview this character has and they basically learn what this
Starting point is 00:48:50 what this writing said about how it's not necessarily like an oppressive force that has to ruin your life it can actually be the inverse but it's more what you do with that you know yeah and that was kind of my point
Starting point is 00:49:07 when bringing it up because it was brought up in the context of um free world and my my point was like you can either respond to that in in a few ways one of which being none of nothing that you do is in your control therefore it's pointless therefore like why bother why try and be good because like I'm just going to be what I am but feel like yeah that's the like bad way to take that. Yeah and it's pointless because to come to that conclusion is only
Starting point is 00:49:54 because you've been like given the the stimulus of acknowledging free will, you know, so then you're playing into it and losing to it because in that decision you're choosing to it. Because in that decision, you're choosing to do the shift. thing you possibly can yeah mm-hmm yeah you don't want to be like the big Lebowski note at least it's not fair yeah um that's kind of what they're mocking because like the dude he's uh like an aimless he doesn't really have goals he's he's just living his life um yeah doing as little as possible he's like finds meaning or purpose in it somewhere um that whole discussion with uh sam elliott character at the end like kind of drives
Starting point is 00:50:47 that home too um i don't know there's a lot going on with this i just feel like that version of nihilism is what we're talking about the kind of like yeah there's no point to anything so you should never try or do anything i guess that's what we were talking about um and for some people can be fraying and for other people it's debilitating so and it's it's not to say either is right or wrong yeah yeah you know um there are plenty of valid ways to live your life or interpret the world it isn't i don't need you to agree with the way i see it in fact i'd like it if you see things a different way because it makes things more interesting um but yeah i forgot what yeah um let's do this one from h m po bear bear boys sorry this may be a bit of long comment
Starting point is 00:51:52 i just have a few things to say first regarding the family drama god damn nationalism is a hell of a drug here in the states we have rivalries between states for example my home state of ohio has a huge rivalry with michigan but damn you brits take it to the next level i don't think anyone here in the states would vitriolically hate someone just from being from a rival state well except maybe Texans and Californians second regarding Alex's scaly revelation I'd like to propose your scale sona to be a dinosaur but not just any dinosaur I had to find the weirdest most bizarre dinosaur I could find and came up with this the in sisyvosaurus oh god I'm sorry I'll like I'll put an image of it here but it's such a
Starting point is 00:52:39 dumb-looking dinosaur that I felt it would perfectly fit Alex's personality. Yes, I know dinosaurs aren't reptiles, so it's more feathery Territory than scaly, but I thought it would fit best. So I'm gonna show Jim a picture of this guy and see what you think. Let me try that again. In sieve In... you try saying. I can't say that. I said I'm awful at Latin. How do you say that? that these are the egg eaters right they've got that egg-evosaurus is that am i reading insisivis incisivis insisivis insisivis yeah we'll go with that but uh he's like the egg eater guys
Starting point is 00:53:30 it kind of looks like it's doing a oh does he have a beak with teeth um i tell you if this ad like didn't just cover it. Let's try that again. Hasshole. Oh, it's got like, on this image. It's got like buck teeth. I'll take it, man. And like the slick back hair?
Starting point is 00:53:49 He's kind of doing like the... He's doing like a pose, like it makes me think of like 2012 Facebook or something. He looks like Iron Man landing. Yeah. So, uh, thanks. Um, oh,
Starting point is 00:54:05 early Cretaceous period of what is, now People's Republic of China. There you go. There you go. I'm pretty Asian. China. Oh my god. I've got three more here.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Past confusion 3-2-3-4. Hello Jow boys. What music slash albums have you been listening to lately? As well as some favorite albums, I know you've discussed music in the past, but I don't think it's been talked about as much lately compared to video games and films, which you also get a good idea of letterbox. you've seen, which the main alternative for music is RYM
Starting point is 00:54:41 so I'll be interested to hear what you've been listening, what your listening intake has been the last few months since the last discussion keep up the podcast boys and beer beer. Beer, beer. What's been on your rotation? I've got to look at my Spotify
Starting point is 00:54:55 and see. Yeah, that's why I just pulled up. Um, I'm going to embarrass myself with. Hey, I uh, but, uh, I've been listening to a lot of distrax yeah i've been listening to
Starting point is 00:55:11 um meet the grams really that one that's the one i like the scary one yeah that's what i'm looking for that's what i'm saying about atmosphere and um yeah yeah i like strong emotions like that yeah i mean beyond that i've been listening to kandrick
Starting point is 00:55:29 it's put me on like a high train oh really you got with any album in particular um damn really yeah it's the one i just Never connected with, yeah. I've come back to it with, um... And I was telling you a little while ago, like, uh, maybe March time. Like, uh, I gave it another go recently, and I was like, okay, sheesh, he, he popped off on it.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Um... Yeah, I think for me, I just kept comparing it so heavily to butterfly. Yeah, it's not as, like, succinct. It doesn't feel as, like, as deep as that. It's more, like, kind of poppy, I guess. Yeah, it's more poppy, but if, it's, it's very personal as well. But also, it feels more of that time. Like, it's what he was feeling in that time, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:32 And it's just got some, like, straight up bangers. A lot. A lot of straight-up bangers. Okay, so we've come around on No, Damn. I've even come around on loyalty. Loddy, lauddy, laudie. Yeah, I was a hater of that song for a long time. What about the sipping bubbly, feeling lovely one?
Starting point is 00:56:52 I don't like that bit of that song, but... I can get past a bit if there's a payoff. Past a bit. Yeah. And all the following songs are also bangers. I mean, I've listened through Mr. Morrell a couple times as well since all this nonsense
Starting point is 00:57:18 and I keep seeing the rhetoric that like people are now like the argument is like everyone thought that album was shit everyone thought that album sucked until this like until Kendrick blew up lately
Starting point is 00:57:38 I guess it didn't have like a big um it didn't have humble or no it like it didn't have like a TikTok presence very much like the odd song appeared every now and again um on social media but that's interesting because for me that's like the inverse of them
Starting point is 00:57:56 where it's like morale was more like what I'm looking for yeah yeah big deal like Mr Morale was way better than damn yeah way back yeah it's no question in my mind yeah um and yeah it's it's an incredible album um also last one i'll drop for for more of the vibey chill times is such sweet thunder by duke ellington mm i've added that but i haven't listened to it yet you've been listened to a fair amount of jazz lately huh yeah um there's there's a particular track um um the
Starting point is 00:58:34 love one yeah I really need to get into that because I was big into Miles Davies Star Cross Lovers because it's all based on like Shakespeare the whole album
Starting point is 00:58:48 and the the Star Cross Lovers track is the most like melancholy walking in the rain and we've had a lot of rain recently that was type of atmosphere yeah there you go yeah um what made you jump into duke um big math
Starting point is 00:59:15 um i mean he was there for a reason like he's he he was going crazy back when he was doing his thing extremely prolific right yeah um That's part of what it's intimidating to me. It's like, where do I even begin? The thing is with a lot of these artists, you go on Spotify, their albums are all, like, released in 2005, released in 2006. And it's all this remastered jumbled together, like, I guess music just wasn't released in the same way.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I don't think Duke Ellington is the best example of this. you're making me think of like David Bowie without all those posthumous releases on Spotify is like 10 albums since he's died or something or not albums but releases yeah songs yeah there's been a few artists where it's like
Starting point is 01:00:20 I want to see like like 1950 something when you look at the album and it says right i want to see i want to hear like something but you want the remaster version with the better audio quality though from like the early yeah i mean if if but when when the artist like their first release thing is in like 1970 something and then the following one is like 2005 right they definitely released music between those periods because they're like a prolific name
Starting point is 01:00:57 where is that music you know I need to know what's an album and what's a best of thing because the thing with such sweet thunder is that you like go through a succinct
Starting point is 01:01:14 you know like it's an album it's an instrumental album I basically only listen to albums I don't want to hear some jumbled like mix of various songs it it's not what i'm looking for you know i get that i get that whereas i yeah i quite like the eclectic thing sometimes i often use the on repeat playlist on
Starting point is 01:01:41 spotify as well um for stuff i just always have in my rotation like uh um i'm just a huge nine inch nails guy so the challenges score is i've been listening to a lot um more kind of like dance heavy sounding than what I'm used to from them but there's some awesome songs on that that score I think it's their best one in a while otherwise I've listened to their new order still that two-tie fruity album the complete music it's called with all these extended mixes of those songs I hadn't heard in the same way before so I've been enjoying that this band Justice
Starting point is 01:02:26 released a couple of songs with Tame Impala recently this one Never Ender I've been listening to a lot that's kind of my jam I've quite
Starting point is 01:02:42 eclectic tastes I guess in rainbows is pretty much always in the rotation I'll shout out Kid A quick as well what you're talking about radio
Starting point is 01:02:55 yeah I don't listen to that one as much as in rainbows but specifically um specifically the song uh fuck how to disappear completely gooder song
Starting point is 01:03:12 um this this album called Tres Flores by Woody Jackson who did the music for Red Dead he released this in 2020 just this quiet 43 minute instrumental thing that kind of has the palette of sounds
Starting point is 01:03:30 from like a red there type thing but there's no association to anything in those games. So he's got a couple albums like that that I've been kind of using his background noise that are quite nice. Weirdly, I randomly got into Fat Boy Slim. Yeah, big time.
Starting point is 01:03:48 You've come a long way, baby, that album from 98. The whole thing's like really good. The whole album's also. there's not a song in there I don't like I guess some could go on a little bit but it's just the type of music he makes you know what I'm saying? That fat boy anything else to throw out there
Starting point is 01:04:09 I kind of I don't think I've mentioned it really on the cast but this year anyway and the tail end of last year like the low raw stuff especially that live album Yeah, I don't know if we've mentioned that.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Live at the Gambio, Gamblea. His live version of Breathe. Incredible, yeah. Yeah, his voice live is something to behold. The Deluxe Edition of Stop Making Sense as well. That's kind of always in the rotation too. Yeah, I don't know if there's... I've been off the album game, kind of, as you were just saying.
Starting point is 01:05:01 That's the only way you like listening. Yeah. Whereas, I do that sometimes, but... Not too much lately, you know. I suppose, before we move on, because I haven't said, I've been listening to not so much. lately, but the past few months Flower Boy by Tyler
Starting point is 01:05:28 that's right, you're creator. You kind of come around or something. You didn't like it. Yeah, I wasn't crazy about it. Like I recognized it had a bunch of good songs on it, but I wasn't when I first listened to it it was almost like an obligatory
Starting point is 01:05:46 listen through to find the songs I like and then stop. It wasn't like an active let's go on the journey of this album and follow the story and now that I have way more respect for that album um like as a package as a narrative
Starting point is 01:06:11 as a yeah whereas one of the songs um garden shed that I when I first heard it like I really didn't like because I was only listening to it
Starting point is 01:06:27 like sonically I wasn't listening to lyrics and like again the story of it and then when you add that context it's it totally transforms
Starting point is 01:06:43 of what it is um yeah I've found a similar thing with like a lot of rap where they maybe I'm not connecting with it but then I read the lyrics and it just completely changes things it's like this was so much of the depth is so much of the
Starting point is 01:07:00 artistry and like what it's saying yeah 100% and I think that's true for any song if if you just listen to it at face value if it's a well written song You're missing a bunch I think it's like the intent
Starting point is 01:07:23 Of what the music's going for in my mind Where it's like If it's very clearly obviously Trying to be like A dance thing or a breezy pop thing I don't need the lyrics Necessarily But I agree
Starting point is 01:07:37 Bad lyrics will Put me off a song quicker than nearly anything Like Obnoxious lyrics Repetive lyrics Or just like There's just such a whole space there
Starting point is 01:07:50 feeling lovely yeah yeah um that's what bugs me the most like when i yeah if i'm in macdonalds and i hear whatever the latest pop thing is yeah monday tuesday through wednesday days of the week's on whatever the newest one is um yeah there's just so much space for like cleverness within the words within wordplay within rhyme schemes within hooks with there's like so much you can do with that ignoring it seems like a waste as well because it is like such a prime space to tell stories too as well and communicated it in a way that's not as like it doesn't feel like you're sitting down and watching a movie it doesn't feel like you're stopping everything to absorb like a story it's like it's such a unique form of storytelling in music specifically you don't even
Starting point is 01:08:41 need lyrics necessarily to communicate some like emotion or change or um um um um Um, something like this. Yeah. I find it particularly, um, infuriating when someone really talented, like chooses to say nothing. You know that about it. Yeah. You know, it's like, it's like, it's kind of that, speaking of Drake, that Drake problem where when you're just kind of releasing stuff so regularly and there's like, almost like a planned cadence to it where it feels
Starting point is 01:09:17 like you know when morale drops it's like a big deal yeah every word you're like combing over um whereas in just whatever the latest drake album is what's there to really combed yeah there's quite surface like just yeah it's all carbs um i'm fine with some carbby music though i've been listening to a little bit more pop lately to be honest um that song is everywhere that uh the espresso song i've been listening to that guy um Sabrina carp into i don't know who she is or if people like her or what but this song's pretty catchy i'll give it that um dope lemon i've been listening to um funny name but has some like cool chill sounding um yeah i like the song home soon um my final shout out a weird one when i was down in wales
Starting point is 01:10:14 went to an Indian restaurant they're playing this song over the speaker I was like this is kind of awesome so the sound clounded it or whatever and it's a song called Mangalam it's like a five minute just like kind of
Starting point is 01:10:34 I just keep saying about atmosphere but it's like it's just like this kind of shit for like six minutes you know it's just just chill man I was like this is I really like this I'm just gonna I'm gonna add this you know I've been listening to it I'm digging it so yeah shout out to uh yeah sounds sounds um
Starting point is 01:10:59 glonkey it is quite glonky but sometimes I'm after that glonk yeah for sure right now unless you have any other albums to shout up bro I've got the penult ultimate one for you here. Penalty. From Warm Opportunity, 63. Sorry in advance for the weird question, however, in the past year, I, like Alex, has travelled to several different countries. There's one thing I realised by doing this, which is a strange observation.
Starting point is 01:11:30 But that in the cultural differences... But that is the cultural differences in men shaving. With places like the south of Spain having a lot of men with shaved legs. This reminds me the time when Alex saw on the IHE channel had a sponsor for Manscaped. which leads me to this. In England, what is the cultural shaving practices and what do you personally think it should be the places men shave in your guy's personal opinions?
Starting point is 01:11:56 I find the different perceptions of what is masculine and what has looked down upon homophobically for being gay or weird in others. I feel like it doesn't matter how you express yourself and who you are, but I've seen a lot of negative perceptions in the past about this topic. Thank you, boys. And keep up the podcast and game on.
Starting point is 01:12:13 kind of an interesting question I'm probably not the best person to answer this because I don't know what is like a masculine way to shave my my gut reaction is nothing but I feel like there's so many anything I feel like there's so many variables there right
Starting point is 01:12:33 um like if you're blonde if you have dark hair if you've got like Middle Eastern jeans if you've got I feel there's a lot of variables and a lot of like expectations based on that because like I can bear my legs and on camera you can't it looks like my legs are hairless but I'm blonde so the white hairs you can't even see yeah yeah um whereas if I had black hair you'd probably be able to see all of it or whatever but I don't think I don't think it's like a cultural
Starting point is 01:13:04 norm here to shave your legs unless you're like a gym bodybuilder or something and you like wax all the hair on your yeah yeah self or something but that's not I don't think that's like a standard common thing no i i think um i think here the most masculine thing would be to shave nothing yeah if we're going to be like stereotypical masculine british lad yeah i think any sort of like hair grooming that isn't on your head so your face and hair i think anything else is like oh you you're one of them are you exactly i didn't i was i was talking to someone the other day where they were telling me they knew people that growing up like girls they shave their
Starting point is 01:13:54 arms because if they had any visible arm hair it was considered i guess not feminine enough in the inverse so they shave their arms so then they get stubble on their arms there's kind of an association with like body hair and masculinity and then the inverse being feminine. In our culture, yeah. And yeah, here. Mm-hmm, yeah. Um...
Starting point is 01:14:21 I think if that... If you really want to shave your legs or your arms or whatever, and the thing that's stopping you is thinking that someone might think I'm gay or whatever, or weird. It's not really a very good reason to not do it, is it? What about the inverse? if you don't want to shave but you feel pressured because of a cultural thing um i guess as long as
Starting point is 01:14:52 you're okay with being seen as these things feels fine with being seen as being weird or whatever that's what you gotta it doesn't even need to be about shaving in my opinion it's just like any kind of cultural norm if you're actively going against it there are just going to be people that are inherently going to be weirded out or not like you or have some kind of issue um or am i speaking out of line um i mean it depends on the on the culture i guess and what the activity is i mean if i had to like shave my legs and forearms every day or twice a week like that That would be kind of annoying, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:42 And I don't know. When I like thinking about these things like broadly, you know, when you find out cultures broadly that like don't get like, don't have the sun, don't have hot temperatures. There's something in those cultures where you want to be tanned, you know? there's a desire to be tanned then the inverse is completely flipped where there are people who'll stain their skin to be paler
Starting point is 01:16:17 because where they live the beauty standard and what they're looking for to signal to other people in the community is different and these things change depending on the time period the culture yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:16:31 so to me it's like I'm not that attached to any of them because I feel like I don't know if you're born into a culture where some crazy thing is just expected and normal then
Starting point is 01:16:42 I don't know I'm just kind of making a lot of the shit up you know yeah just do what you're gonna do just be weird okay just be a freak what does what does Kendrick say
Starting point is 01:16:58 uh weirdos not the good one yeah so be a good weirdo don't be a bad one yeah And finally, Goldfish 7.7.4 is going to take us away here. You guys stumble upon a magical being. With its powers, it will let you record one podcast anywhere without being at risk of any harm.
Starting point is 01:17:22 The sound and video quality is unaffected by the environment. Example, if you pick space, your audio and video would be as normal, even though space is a vacuum. Where would you boys pick? What real place would you choose and what fictional place would you choose? Mariana Trench right at the bottom The Maranara Trench The Maranara Trench
Starting point is 01:17:43 Yeah The obvious ones right Like deep in the ocean Yeah In a black hole I guess So then we could know Then we'd know
Starting point is 01:17:52 Like what is it What happens there Imagine a podcast Recorded from the centre Of black hole I don't think You can't imagine that So we don't even know
Starting point is 01:18:00 What's going on We would pioneer that Can you imagine? That would be a good one actually yeah it'll be that or the white house the white house yeah that was not as impressive to me because it's like
Starting point is 01:18:14 feasibly you could rent out a warehouse and like recreate a white house looking set no but like if we just appear in the white house like in a bubble where nothing can happen to us and like in the background there's all people running around like what the fuck how did these guys get in here they're just all right so they're like freaking out
Starting point is 01:18:33 they're talking about freddie fazbear like what's going on like Donald Trump is getting rushed out I'm assuming this is after the election I was also thinking like in lava like in in yeah
Starting point is 01:18:55 like in lava like center of the earth I'm not that deep halfway there imagine like a glass box in lava because you have to be able to see Like a villain layer from James Bond or something You know
Starting point is 01:19:12 Like lava all over I don't know It's just something to do with lava, okay? Yeah Yeah First half Maranara trench Second half lava Like a podcast
Starting point is 01:19:30 Like on the Great Barrier Reef or something that'll be fine aesthetically that would be fire yeah but like I'd I'd want to choose something that cannot be done that couldn't be done right
Starting point is 01:19:45 it feasibly could if like Joe Rogan wants it to be good because I'm picturing like it's embedded in the environment so like the mic stands and everything they're like it looks natural yeah it looks like a coral
Starting point is 01:20:01 like yeah we're just There's a NT1A attached on the end. Yeah. And a fictional one. Yeah. Mount Deem? Gollum.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Maybe that's the lava answer we need. Yeah. Like right on the edge. A fictional one. Yeah. What about like in the emperor's chair from Star Wars? Yeah. With the background of the fight going on or whatever.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Yeah And a couple of red guys Might be pretty cool That'd be kind of boresome So I'm thinking like environments But then I just think Filing Shriton Oh that would be
Starting point is 01:20:45 That'd be sick Sat on the floor Yeah video games have some good locations actually Hmm Become Minecraft Yeah For real
Starting point is 01:20:59 Yeah real Real life Seed 5, 4, 8, 9, 2, 3, 6. I can't remember about Seeds, way. There's something like that. There's got to be about, like, Smog's Gold Horde. That would be, like, where to film a disc track.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Oh, you could have some real cool ones in Lord of the Rings, actually, like, the... Just, like, castles, like, in the background. You know that shot where, um, Gandalf, like, rocks up? I can't, what's that castle that's, like, built into the cliff? It's got, like, this super elaborate design, um, with Theodin. Gondor? Yeah, right? Is it Gondor?
Starting point is 01:21:46 Gondor calls for aid. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Or, like, I'm picturing, like, the field that's, like, just far away, so it would be, like, there in the background. Are you thinking of where the guy on fire runs off the edge? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:01 That's Gondor, right? Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking Gondor in the background, you're in like a field. Oh, okay, yeah. With, like, Gondor just there, and it's real. What about, what about Helms Deep while the battle's going on behind you? You could do the same with Gondor, actually.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Yeah. It's just like a war happening in the back. Yeah. Well, you could do so many cool ones with that. There's so many good locations. Yeah. I mean, Hobbiton. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Whereas I was thinking that was like Star Wars and it's like well We have deserts We got we go jungles Yeah, you're a binary sun in there Yeah It'd be kind of cool but like that is a real desert But you could just film one there really Yeah
Starting point is 01:22:49 You don't need to get silly about it Yeah I feel like the obvious I feel like Jabba's Palace would be Bannifier Rancor in the background Yeah These just getting dropped. Boba Fett hitting on
Starting point is 01:23:07 Worm hair women. Yeah. Worm women. They said fiction. It was like Star Wars, Lord of the Reader. Yeah, I can't think of any fiction. Yeah, like, oh, I know.
Starting point is 01:23:22 What about, you know, the road. The final shot of Fight Club, but there's like actually a podcast being recorded. Yeah. A night city That'd be pretty fire A little bit scary though I feel like I'd be
Starting point is 01:23:38 Yeah but if we're an I We're safe in our pods I guess In our time out of time Yeah What about one that's in the pickle rick Yeah Rick and Morty house We're inside pickle Rick Yeah
Starting point is 01:23:52 That'd be a good guy We're in the foreground Of the pickle Rick rat fight scene But it's extended to be the length of the podcast. How far would that be? I'm starting to see the vision. Yeah?
Starting point is 01:24:09 Oh, that would be a real cool one, right? Like, you know, at the end of BVS, we're like, ooh. Yeah, we'd have to be so far away to, like, cover all of that. We're on the island that's abandoned and there's nobody else there. So then we can go, Tell me, do you bleed? Bore, how long fight seems commence.
Starting point is 01:24:39 What's that character? It's called Juck-a-naut? No. The green... Dism stray? Donesday, yeah. That's right. This is making me feel like a doomsday, bro.
Starting point is 01:24:50 I don't want to be thinking about that. Yeah, why'd you bring that up? I want to do a podcast from... inside doomsday's eye from BVS looking out so you can see
Starting point is 01:25:03 his perspective of the fight of the fight from the end of BVS so that's like that's like a full hour anyway so that's like
Starting point is 01:25:12 a whole podcast of like him fighting Batman easy that's like two podcasts yeah we just want to do the whole BVS
