It was like...
Oh, this is ancient memories being unlocked.
There's like a song.
do do do do do do do do do yeah wow haven't thought about that movie like 20 years
and now it's suddenly I've thought about the other one a lot
well that one you can't forget that one Pikachu slap Mue 2
yeah be like crying the tears bringing back from the dead man
that hit hard movies were allowed to be movies yeah back before like the liberal agenda was like
pushed on every movie yeah me twos were allowed to be me too yeah Pikachu could actually like
just be peek a cry and slap yeah that's he could return to that's claim well brother good
afternoon morning evening or night ladies and gentlemen and welcome to broadcast episode seven
A one and a two
And a three
And a four
And a five
And a six
That's us
Wow
Are we in a
Seven four time signature
Bungie number
Seven baby
Huh
Remember?
Yeah
You remember?
I'm your host Alex
Joined by Jim
Yeah
Where we talk about
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
I got heaps actually
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
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
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.
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
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
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

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
They wanted to relay
To you
Specifically
Gebbie said
Tell Jim on the pod
I love him
And everything
No I love him
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
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
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
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
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
addicted to weirder stuff
so
yeah
I mean if someone
discovered like a
psychoactive worm
or something
I'm sure
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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...
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
I can imagine
That'd be awesome
Um
Work
Like I experienced eating dominoes
Yeah
Yeah
We talked about poo
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
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
journal media
shit posts right
uh huh
uh huh
um
aka this project is retired
old school jarling
um
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Gollum
you heard about this pro
Gollum
Gollum
Like, you know
I'm Mr. Gollum, look at me, remember?
Like, double Gollum.
Golem.
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?
The Gollum movie, bro.
It's happening.
What?
I'm serious.
No.
I'm serious.
The Gollum movie's happening.
Really?
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,
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
yeah
when will they learn
your actions
have consequences
that's the thing
that is that their actions
never have consequences
well the consequences
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
they've already done
the Amazon
on...
Which is apparently
getting another season
this year.
Huh?
Yeah.
It's their most
watch show ever.
What?
Yeah.
Even more than
Fallout,
which was number two now.
I don't know why.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
Well, um, what about
G Gigi?
G G G 07
Um
No Hajj
replied to that saying
Alex
Time
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
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
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
Shrug
Who cares
I'm bored
Yeah
Something like that
Yeah
Well
Piracy sex and arson says
SpongeBob daughter
Or Patrick's son
Oh
Patrick son
I'm taking the sponge daughter
Yeah
Yeah
You know
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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...
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
like
yeah we're just
There's a NT1A attached on the end.
Yeah.
And a fictional one.
Yeah.
Mount Deem?
Gollum.
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.
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
That'd be sick
Sat on the floor
Yeah video games have some good locations actually
Hmm
Become
Minecraft
Yeah
For real
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
a whole podcast
of like him fighting
Batman
easy
that's like two podcasts
yeah
we just want to do
the whole BVS
that's like
months worth of
podcasts
you know
oh man
well bro
Starts with B, ends with us.
B.
