There's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. Don't worry about it. It's not your problem, okay? I was just watching Paisley munch on her Coochee big time. Ew.

I said sip, sipp, ah We don't really have housekeeping this week Because, uh Hey, a little buddy told me that You're recording this ahead of time So you don't have a whole week of feedbacks You don't have a week of feedbacks, do you, brother? What do we?

What are we going to do? Oh, God. What do we do without feedbacks? The whole thing is builds around feedbacks. The whole thing is builds on feedbacks. What are we going to do? What actually are we going to do? I was kind of counting on you for that.

I can talk about how I've been practicing my Joker voice. Okay, let's hear it. Can you do Kermit again as well? We all love that. Inky binky, mother minky. Come on, Harley. Take me to a place I want to go. Tinkle, tinkle little jar.

We did we? Or did, no, I think it might come up. It came out. Wanker's style came up. Wanker's style, maybe. Yeah. Well, maybe that. But I didn't have a whole question at least.

Mm. There's a delicate balance when it comes to running a joke into the ground. Yeah. You know? Like it, there's like a percentage let polymarket bet on like, each time you whip it out, which way it's going to weigh? Like, yeah, yeah. Funny or kind of whanked?

Yeah, is it going Wanked or is it Put a thousand bucks on it and wankers being wanked Yeah Everyone's betting on it If wankers getting wanked Yeah there's a

There's a 50 million dollar volume Polymarket bet on if wankers Is wanked He's whanked Oh dear Do you want Do you want the Bafters

Do you want Mount Battenberg GTA killer Or the Olympics? um or a CBT i think i actually know most of these so they might not like do you know what mean it's not really supposed to be a surprise factor for this it's more just like a topic yeah yeah yeah um i don't know if like do do you have anything to add on the BAFTA thing um there were just a lot of people asking our opinions on it i probably should have done this last episode because it would be like super irrelevant by now i think so from what i understand and this

is fucking crazy. At the Bafters, right? So a guy with Tourette's shouted the N-word when... There's a film called, I swear, Yeah. About... Yeah, some of Tourette's. Yeah.

A British film. So it was having some representation at the awards show. And as you said, yeah. The N-word was flung. Was it by the... Who flung it? The guy of Tourette's who was in the audience. But, like, who was he related to the...

film like did he write the film i think it was based on him i haven't seen it yet right it's on my list right well we've we've already got a sequel fucking like like we know where the sequence going um it's just kind of unfortunate everybody it's super unfortunate but so apparently the bbc edited out uh someone saying free palestine they did they had they had that tag built in yeah but yeah but But they chose not to edit out the N-word. And that's like, if you could, why wouldn't you? Yeah, there was like a few things they probably needed to do, including, like, the looks on their faces, they're clearly like, uh, what? Mm.

When that is said, um, perhaps everyone who was like going to be going on stage, maybe should have had a warning about that or like some. Yeah. Some notification to that being like a fact or I don't think it's like the individual people in the like audience or hosts that are to blame I think it's no BBC's fault um fuck the BBC yeah fuck the BBC like all day every day but um fuck the BAFTAs frankly who gives a fuck yeah uh most attention one has had like it ever yeah yeah real but again why edit out one thing and not the other it's like they're it's like they want to be made fun of they want like like why why you made it this way

yeah i don't i don't they chose they chose to do it that way the mind boggles like we're trying to we're trying to not upset anybody to such a degree where it actually starts being offensive but like genuinely why would you edit out one and not the other either way either way it's a production just like What? Like, what the other fuck did this even happen? But like, so they, so like the, the director or whatever for the, for the BAFTAs, like, before it was aired was like, ooh, that free Palestine bit is like a bit much. Let's edit that out.

Do you think they knew that was coming? Or do they have something that like, it goes out when it's going to, it was filmed and then aired? So they had time to like edit it and shit. Isn't there like a, there's like a, a few seconds, like, delay? No, I think it was like hours later that it was actually like... Really? That's even weirder. Yeah, exactly. Like, it means there was like a creative team that were like, what do we leave it and what do we take out? Oh, I didn't know that.

And they actively left that in and actively took out the Free Palestine. Which is crazy. I figured it was like a live thing. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. But that's... I don't know. That's what I'm... under the impression of.

And, but either way, it's fucking crazy that they have censored one thing and not the other. You know? And like, if anything, they should have done it in reverse. Right? They should have censored the N-word and left in the Free Palestine thing. Like, not if anything. That's weirdly controversial on the BBC, though, so.

Yeah, they're terrified of being like, we're apolitical, I guess. It's like, what, no, you're fucking not. Yeah. Yeah, so that's one thing that happened in the world. Did you want to talk about this GTO thing? Because it's like, people are losing it out of there, man. People are actually like...

The murderer. Yes, the murderer. Yeah, the murderer. So, like, this is a Dex Erto article. YouTube are accused of killing pregnant girlfriend. while using pre-recorded GTA stream as alibi. A YouTuber is on trial for allegedly stabbing his pregnant... Oh my God, I didn't know she was pregnant too?

Fuck, dude. To death. And the prosecution claims he used pre-recorded GTA... Oh my God, Vice City footage as an alibi. In December 22, YouTuber Stephen McCuller went live, quote unquote, on YouTube to play GTA. And at the same time, his girlfriend, 32-year-old Natalie McNally, was killed at her home in Logan, Northern Ireland.

The stream, however, was all a part of a ruse, according to prosecutors. During the broadcast, he told his viewers that he couldn't interact with him due to a technical issue, but cyber experts later determined that the GTA stream was pre-recorded, something McCuller reportedly admitted in a written statement to police. Okay. According to the authorities, while the fake broadcasts, which had been recorded days earlier, played the YouTube was on a bus. Going from Dunmary to Logan, where he stabbed his girlfriend to death and then returned home.

Why, taxi? Bro. The case finally went to trial in February, 26, but the incident amassed widespread attention when it first appeared on the night of the World Cup final YouTubers like. Moist Critical also made videos reacting. To the news. Fuck. The premeditated, like, I'm gonna make a video for this.

Yeah, that's fucking freaky, man. Is this separate from the guy who's, like, going to jail and is upset that he's not... Yeah, that's where I thought I was... That's what you were going with it was, but, like, is that just... That's like a whole other thing. That's fucking miserable. I mean, they're both miserable. Like, murder's miserable.

But Jesus Christ. Who was the YouTuber? I didn't even know if all. want to shout him out. I said his name. So that was 2022 that happened. Oh. Like the actual event, but it's only gone to court. Oh, okay. But then I guess as someone else convicted murderer cries that you won't get to play GTA6 in prison. Yeah, I saw that footage. And that's in the UK as well. Well, that was, that was no other than the previous one. See, I'd be right there with the guy if if he'd done like a cool crime.

For which one? The, like, missing out on GTA 6. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he also murdered someone. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he did. Which is why I said, yeah, he's not a cool crime. What's a cool crime? Like a heist.

Yeah. Like, if you pulled off a heist on like Amazon, was that, man? He did a GTA heist to be able to afford GTA 6 and gets arrested. That would be like, like fuck no I get that um but no murdering someone it's like well maybe you shouldn't get gtage 6 yeah maybe they're in the group of people that like shouldn't be allowed it maybe maybe I don't know it's kind of a big deal once you've like murdered someone yeah well maybe it was grand theft also that trained him to murder it trained him but then it also caused the murder

because he was so like frustrated about the waiting time yeah I just got to take this out on my nearest love one yeah you know what I mean fucked up man murder's crazy it's straight up is you know pissing on an answer nurse that's one thing killing a human being

Jesus was that was that profound that was crazy some people don't feel guilt though and that's what's crazy yeah I think it's crazy some people commit an act and feel nothing I think it's crazy to

kill a loved one and then be like, oh, I'm gonna miss GT6, fuck. It's like, priorities, you know. Zero priorities. Yeah. I'm not gonna be able to grind in the new GTA online, God damn.

I had all this money, like, ready to burn to shot cards. Yeah. But I'm gonna be in prison rotting away. I'm gonna have to spend it on cigarettes and crack. Oh. So that's a nice kind of like cheery one. Hmm.

Do you want the other cheery one of... You started on some real cheery ones. Do you want Andrew Mountbattenberg? Yeah, that would be cheery as well, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep going. Keep going with the Mountbattenberg. So again, like this one's going to be like crazy out of day, I guess.

Oh, I suppose, yeah. It's like when this goes up. But that's going to happen sometimes, man. That's bad stuff we'll have it. Yo, the slow wheel that fucking sucks gets the green. You know what they say? The hungry boy gets the feds. Gets the feds.

Yeah. It's, yeah, not the... The squeaky wheel gets the oil shoved right in. The squeaky wheel gets the worm. The squeaky worm gets the bird. What if you're like a dysfunctional wheel, but you don't squeal? You don't get no grease? That's unfair.

That's a really fucking solid point. Look at my heel. Don't... Don't give them that shit. That's premium shit. Yeah, that's Patreon shit, actually. Let me put this fucker away. So, I guess Andrew Mount Battenberg.

Yeah. He's, uh... There's a funny picture of him in a car looking like, um... He's just been, uh, a little bit surprised by something. He looked like Voldemort was chasing him through the woods. He did look like Voldemort was chasing him. He looked like he was looking in the rearview mirror and was like, fuck, Voldemort's on his way, do you? Yeah.

Like the freaky floating Voldemort on, like... Offing the first one. Yeah, after the scariest, Voldemort. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to say, though, um, the unicorn blood looked delicious for the record. You'd feast on unicorn. Yeah, it's like viscous and like, like, I bet it's sweet. Yeah, it does look sweet.

It looks like nectar. Oh, sweet unicorn nectar, is it? Feel like a bee on a fucking... Blant. I feel like a Mount Battenberg Windsor just sock in on a bit of Uricorn. I'm torn on that where I'm like

it's too easy to distance him from like, oh, he's not a prince anymore. Yes, yes. It's like, come on. Like, yeah, no. I managed to do what he did because he's the fucking prince, dude. Exactly.

I was watching LBC. Yeah. And one of the guys on that quoted someone else who I don't remember. remember um and yeah this person said like the the the royal family like wouldn't do this if it wasn't good for them they wouldn't stop him from being a prince if it didn't suit them why does it suit them like you said it's an optics problem it's optics yeah it's it's it's like oh no he's he's not like a prince he's he's just a one bad guy he's a separate like thing we didn't know we

had no clue yeah yeah where but like surprise surprise attack allegedly um like pretty much every royal is like a nonce or a wrongum in some capacity like that's the reality how dare you bloody say that about the country you fucking based on what based on the fact that the king his his best friend was like jimmy sable jimmy savile who inspired um the the the like the devil worshipping cult from the zombie movie we reviewed on patrons. But what about the king we just missed who was like literally a fucking nasty?

What, Philip? Was it Philip? Oh, no, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're all fucking evil. The generation above Elizabeth. Yeah. Yeah, surprise,

evil people are evil. No, but you understand that they bring in all this money. They are core to the country's values. I like that they own most of the land in the UK and they are the number one landlords and barely pay any tax at all

if any. Well, even if they did, it would just circle back around to them. They are the establishment. If you're a royalist, you'll get blocked. If you're a royalist, get blocked. Yeah. I wasn't, because I was thinking about that,

Just in terms of, and this is like already like really political and whatever, um, there's the house of lords. Yep. And the house of commons. Oh. Yeah. Like it didn't twig in my head until just the other day where it's like, yeah. Fucking everything in this country is about like just where you sit and where you belong. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Based on what you're told. It's a crazy world that we live in, a crazy country that we live in, where we had a prime minister, Margaret Thatcher who was like Oh, Ronald Reagan's my fucking fellow We're gonna be all pro Neoliberalism Let's be all about making money And becoming businessmen and things like that

It's like at the same time You have like hereditary Fucking like Royal money Royal blood like through divine right We have a class of people Who are literally impenetrable

Like you can't be like when I grow up I want to be the king So that's not an option I want to be the president Yeah When I grow up I want to be a lord in the house of lords It's like not an option You have to be born into it

Like what Huh I want to be the jar lord Why can't I be the jar lord In the house of lord Oh that Oh that All that

It's like fuck all of them Where's my free money And you know what Just to spicing's up a bit, I'm pro fucking no, no, say it, just beep it. After all this, I think Andrew Mountbattenberg has been done dirty.

Yeah, here we go. Get on that Russell Brand type shit. What was his ex-girlfriend who was like, you're fuck, you're nothing if you're not on the list. No, she said you're a loser. You're a loser if you're not on the Epstein list, mate. Yeah, yeah.

You're a loser. yeah he said that who is buying this shit how stupid do they think people are genuinely genuinely like you're lame yeah you're fucking lame you didn't go to the island and um assay loads of you weren't straight balling on the island loser yeah it's like what the fuck is you weren't flown in gillains helicopter gay it's so fucking beyond parody i don't know anyone has the patience for any of it anymore. I was watching a video, um, and I felt mad called out because, uh, he was like, um,

like, all you people were talking about like the revolution, the revolution, the revolution. And, uh, you don't even know the names of your neighbors. Like, like, oh, and I was like, yeah. No, I got, I got Mr. Baste hard. Yeah, no, you know yours.

I'm Charlie. I'm... Yeah, you know yours. But I felt called out. You're less of a revolutionary, I think, than... I'm a royalist. You're a bloody, old-fashioned, as it should be, kind of royalist-type beat. Let me get on my knees for you, Charles.

Charlie, King Charlie. Your fingers are a little bit swollen, Charles. He does a big fat swan fingers. Can you say that on YouTube? You can't say that on YouTube You definitely can't say that Hey man You make a troll face meme nowadays

You're putting prison in the UK Yeah I'm not gonna risk that one No I kind of want to go to prison It might be nice It might be better Yeah You get there and it rocks

You're this real community here GTA 6 is already out here Huh? Crime goes crazy in UK. Everyone's in prison. You know what they say so bad? New society, new society. When everyone's in prison, nobody's.

We're already all in prison. We're in the imprisonment of the, of the, the, the royalist oligarchs. Genuinely, genuinely, genuinely. I just can't. Your Highness. higher above me please dangle your tities down so I may drink

yeah your highness who gets to hang around with Lord Mountbatten Jimmy Saville Hey you don't have 12 million bucks I can just give to this poor woman right Here you go my favourite boy

It felt like more controversial to me To be like anti-royalist a few years ago I feel like I've gotten consistent heat for it Yeah, I feel like we've always been anti-royal. Yeah, I've always found it a very odd, unusual thing about the UK that I don't enjoy. I find it just like...

I think it's awful. And did you see any of the interview with Prince William? Like, post all this. Post all this. Not recently, no. I tried to pay them as little attention. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he's gone on like a tour, like, kind of like a podcast tour, but like even more

pathetic. He's like trying to like... Save face and shit. Yeah, yeah. And act like, oh, I'm a separate thing. We always found him a little bit different. Yeah. He was always kind of noncy.

But like he was saying how he wants to like... To bring back, um, like... Goodness to the world family. Yeah. Prim and proper. And it's like, shut the fuck up. Like, you're a wronging. You're a fucking wronging.

for sure 100% like shut the fuck up like how about you start a 9 to 5 how about you like work how about you have to do something like no but you don't understand

they bring in all sorts of monies for their palaces yeah yeah yeah I think they'd bring in more money if their palaces were empty and you could visit it as like a historical yeah yeah I know all their all of Williams like

he's got these homeless charities it's like oh please give some money to the homeless charity meanwhile like owning the majority

of land in the country yeah in the in the in the tiny tiny country that is short of land yeah where no one can live anywhere

like it's too expensive to buy a fucking flat like people can't even get houses out here right do we must have our golf courses in Prip-Prom proper. Prip-Prom-P-P-P-A!

These fucking monsters, they are not humans. It's the wank of it that gets me? Yeah. It's the wank of it. Yeah. The circumstance, the pomp. Yeah. Like, they...

You understand the ceremony's been in the fucking family for generations. Mm. This noncery is just what we do. If your reason for doing it. a thing is because you've always done that thing and nothing else than it's a shit fucking reason you know i was reading um i think it was john locke um i forgot you read that yeah and and he said um about like if if a principal is a principle just because it's a principal then it's pointless like it it's what it's worth nothing but one day i'm

might be the queen yeah yeah it is that delusional because it's like someone says like some chance of being the president like zero yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna find this like fit princess

and I'm gonna win her over yeah yeah I'll just whip it out and she'll be but you like let's do a role play do you want to be the conservative or the anti-royalist can I be the queen You could be a conservative queen

If you want Blood day It's all been building Are you ready What sorry What is the setup I'm gonna set you up And then we're gonna have like a company

You are above me, I'm worse than you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you up there, me down here with the rat. Do you... I don't want the royal family to be a thing anymore. I think it... Well, you understand the amount of money we add to the British economy. You understand this, my loyal subject.

And do you understand how much you take? nothing we are core to the foundation of this country the the heart the soul the blood the history I'm going to you now in Xbox in Xbox where is this going

I don't know I can't remember what the but I feel like my point's been made I feel like we just made a few more royalists actually Yeah I feel you were like I was um I had like a goal but then you were like Um What's the guy from there will be blood the actor

There will be blood Yeah Oh uh Daniel day Lewis Yeah you went on some Daniel day Lewis shit So it's just every now and again Like Daniel just channels his way through me Yeah yeah Oscar my way through it

Yeah Yeah Yeah it's like So now you're a royalist. Yeah, kind of. I feel like my point was like shut down. Okay. You know what?

Andrew can live in that mansion. Andrew Mount Battenberg? It was my favorite boy. Andrew Mount Battenberg would make my favorite Battenberg. Andrew, more Mount Battenberg, is it? Andrew comes in with like 58 corgis. Yeah. Mommy? Mommy, I've got your Battenberg here, Mummy.

Leave it to the cog. Did I ever tell you you're my favourite boy? Do you want 14 million quid to pay off any little naughty nastiness you've been... How much non-serie if you've been up to, little... Oh, only a little bit, Mummy! Oh, you've wrapped Scali and... We've had words about this. Only the smallest bit, mummy.

Oh, you know your allowance is only 500 million a year. You don't have enough to keep on paying these little... fools. Our generational hundreds of years, if not thousands of years worth of wealth is going to be touched by this, Andrew. Do you realise how much you're costing the taxpayer? What's a taxpayer, mummy? Anyway, I'm late to meet my friend Jeff.

Invite him over. We've got some spare batten bags for him. Anyway, Andrew, it's interesting how you never sweat. Why are you so wet? I'd have run up the stairs, Mummy. Mommy, I just need a little bit of a bailout, Mummy. Mommy, I've been just noncing around like you torch me. I need to loan.

Grabbs his cheek. You naughty boy. Oh, you silly boy. Normally I'd give you 30 million, but today I'm only going to give you 20. 12 million or perhaps 14 million if you're extra good tonight. Oh, boys will be boys, eh? Fucking out, dude. Maybe I've convinced myself to be pro-royal after this now.

Yeah. Actually, sounds kind of fun. Yeah. It's the whole, like, extended family shit. Yeah, I'm like to preach his friend, mate. I sent you that video recently on Lord Mountbatten, who, like, Andrew's named after it. He turns out to be, like, a nonce who was, like, big into... little boys. I feel I think we definitely need like a um what do you call a trigger warning before like a bunch

of this because it is bleak as fuck but yeah all this shit like came out in 20 2019 I think about Lord mountbatten who was like you know Lord Mountbatten was killed by the IRA I don't know how much of anything I've said this episode like if this one jumps around it's because of crazy shit is being said okay yeah no that's on me that's on me I need to reel it in but yeah he was what he was assassinated the IRA assassinated yes um and he kind of like helped train

like prince Charles or King Charles and Andrew and he was a known nonce of eternal uncle of Prince Philip and second cousin once he removed to Queen Elizabeth II yeah which like then you look into that and it's like oh yeah the queen was married to her cousin

um He served in the Royal Navy during both world wars. That's quite crazy. Mm-hmm. And, um... His private life attracted scrutiny, and after his death, allegations of abuse were made,

some of which were dismissed by official inquiries. Yeah, fucking shameful, man. Convenient, convenient. But, like, his driver and stuff talked about, um... The, basically human trafficking, like, way back then. um little boy children young boys it's it's just why are people not more upset by it is my thing

it it pisses me off that people aren't more upset about the culture in that class of doing this to to to people yeah the culture and that clearly goes beyond just like royal families yeah yeah it's just that class that level of power and wealth to my my my My question is, my question, if I have no other questions, my question is, what is the purpose of great wealth, if not to... Flunt it on people? Use it. Use it against people. Like, what other purpose is there?

That's the main reason for that, like, excessive... It's entirely that. It's to, to, like, boast and abuse. Yeah. It's like to prove... prove that like you have it and like you having it is

the pleasure. It's so weird. It's really quite strange. Is it Machiavellian? Yes. Straight up. Great word. Makes me think of like a Mackey Dees. Hey, where are you, Ron and when we need you? It makes me think of a Tupac.

Why? McAvillian, this. Apparently he was gay. A theatre kid. Yeah. Hey, I'm Tupac. I'm gay, man. Hey, I'm Tupac over here, Machiavelli, I'm gay That's my T-Bac impression Um

Hey, I'm Biggie Smiles, I'm fat over here I'm fat and innocent over here Yeah, did he kill me over here? Yeah, there is a trend It's been like the 2020s thing Like the revealing of like Oh, here's like a rich and powerful person who used his

his richness and power to be a mustache twirling evil villain beyond anything we've ever seen even fiction yeah the most evil like so cartoonishly evil that it's like this shit sucks like this is lame you know this is like so over the top

so I listened to a like an essay thing on like Russian history and Stalin and stuff and he goes into his crimes and shit and he was a fucking evil monster but like we've painted Stalin as this evil monster

for so long it's like exactly the same the exact same type of behavior you know like that he had that much power then he does this fucking evil shit

like it takes one one guy in that position that's the recurring thing to me is like It's not even about like These arbitrary like political labels at a certain point No, it's not Just about power and you have to dismantle it You have to you have to refuse it

That's what every single political system should be about Yes It's trying to diffuse that power But none of them are All of them are about concentrating it Uh huh If God exists then he did a shit job No, he made the ultimate hierarchy of nonsense

Yeah If God exists, he's a non. I don't know. Do you want to like round this off with a CBT or? Yeah, yeah. Do you want to go there? Is it Prince Andrew Andrew Mountbattenberg quotes? It's one of those you laugh so you don't cry type situations.

It is, yeah. But let's do a CBT then. Cringe-based tough. We take a handful of quotes. Jim's got to guess who it is. Give each one a cringe-based or a tough. This is one the... I think you know who it is.

But some of these quotes might give away, like, the direction of who it is or what field or whatever. Okay. Okay, this is kind of relevant. About his favorite book, The History of American Fortunes. If you follow the money, like the writer did, the history of the Rockefellers and so on, you find out about real history. in that book you learn that the civil war was not about freeing the slaves it was all about the money etc hmm that's based can i quickly ask who are the rockefellas i keep hearing this name it's one of those like those families you know like like old money wealth like oh like the oldest money in america

it seems but like what did they do Let me give you the exact... Here we go. The Rockefeller family is an American industrial, political and banking family, that owns one of the world's largest fortunes. The fortune was made in the American petroleum industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by brothers John D. Rockefeller and William A. Rockefeller Jr.,

primarily through standard oil. Ah. So that makes sense? Yep. Like plastic. industry is like the biggest thing. So what did you give that first quote? Based.

Based. I boxed 15 years in a club. What? I boxed 15 years in a club. Boxed. Like boxing. That's pretty cool. I'll give that a tough.

Tough, okay. Actors don't have real value. Based. If people hate me, They hate me. If people hate me, they hate me. That's kind of cringe. Sure?

Yeah. That's a little bit cringe, I'll be honest. I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present. Based. Yeah. And a little bit cringe because PSP's a cringe. So, if you want to have a great video game-based movie,

you have to keep the mood of the game use the normal character set up but you have to flesh out the story and provide more background for the characters Yeah Read it again So if you want to have a great video game based movie you have to keep the mood of the game

Use the normal character set up But you have to flesh out the story And provide more background for the characters Okay yeah Yeah sure based Okay it's gonna get a little bit Spicy now. This day showed us that we are all completely voyeurs greedy for thrilling entertainment no matter if this is real or not.

Referring to the non-stop television airing of the 9-11 attacks. Fuck! That's base tough. Wow, yeah. God damn. Then... Oh no, that might give it away. Any asshole can make a good movie.

for a hundred million dollars. I think it's way harder to make a movie with no money and to start with no contacts and work your way up to international productions. Based cringe, a rare base cringe. Rare. Yeah. The main point is that I think if we want the Earth to survive and everybody to have a positive future, we have to stop thinking in terms of religions and races. We have to face that we are all on the planet Earth together and we have to face that we are all on the planet Earth together and we have to figure out how we will survive.

It makes no sense if we are all driving hybrid cars but China pumps massive amounts of CO2 in the air. If we don't start working together and find solutions, if every country thinks only in terms of first we, then the other nations, then we will fail. Yeah, based. Do you have any idea who this is? No. Okay, good.

I'll go into the more. I'm assuming a filmmaker of some. So that's a safe assumption I had $60,000 for my first movie I was 33 before I made any money off of movies I worked my ass off for free To get that I'm enemy number one among young kids is a little absurd What?

Wrot Read that again I had $60,000 for my first movie I was 33 before I made any money off of movies I worked my ass off of movies I worked my ass off of free. To get that I'm the enemy number one among young kids is a little absurd. I don't really understand that. Is that one that would make more sense once I knew who it is? Perhaps, perhaps. I want to hold off on that one. Okay, put a pause on that one. All right, let's do this one. In Germany, people are saying George W. Bush is an asshole. Osama bin Laden is an asshole.

But then I make jokes about Osvich and how the Germans are Liederhausen, wearing sausage freaks. And they hate me for this? And I'm like, you all are sitting there because you want to relax and have a nice evening. And now you're pissed because I put a mirror in front of you? That's a bit cringe. Yeah.

But kind of tough as well. You don't need any courage today in Germany to make a movie about the Nazi time. You get all the subsidies. You get the TV stations. you get the good reviews. But you need courage to kick in the balls, all the people that are still hiding under the blanket and to say,

oh, Adolf Hitler was maybe not so bad. And with my little Nazi jokes in blank, I offended the Germans in a harsh time. That sounds pretty cringe. My gut reaction is that's pretty fucking cringe. Jesus. I totally regret as a German. what happened at this point of history.

But when people ask me, are you as a German feel responsible for the Holocaust? No, because I'm born 1965, and it would be completely unlogical to say I'm responsible. But as a country, we are responsible.

This isn't that, like, weirdo director, is it? Which one? The one who did, uh, like, the Shilabuf Sax movie. Oh, no, no, no. No, not Lars. Not Lars on tree.

Lazz, yeah. No, not Lars. It's not. No, because Lars has made some incredible movies, whereas this guy? I'm not so sure. He's supposed to have good restaurant or something. Really?

You have no clue who this is. No, there's a lot of weird, like, pro-Hitler Nazi shit going on. So keep going, keep going. God, what do we have left? The German press is not friendly to me. I can compare it to the US press. I had 25% really bad reviews like, oh, a blank movie, typical trash, but some said it was by far Blank's best movie. They compared it not to the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring, but something weaker, like Eragon.

That was pretty funny. Cringe? Maybe you know it, but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. The reason I'm able to do these kind of movies is that I have a tax shelter fund in Germany And if you invest in a movie in Germany, you get basically 50% back from the government That's cringe. That's cringe as fuck Do I definitely know this person? I really feel like you know who this is. I've got one more

Okay And then I'll reveal it, I guess Postal will be so politically incorrect and harsh. It's like a mirror to American society and I don't think the movie will be well received by anybody. For example, Osama bin Laden will be one of the lead characters. I think this shows the mood of the movie. That's fucking cringe. Who the fuck is this?

It's Uvei Boll. To House of the Dead and... What's it called? Perfect Dark and shit like that? Right, yeah. That was called Perfect Dog. Perfect, that's a game, right? Yeah. Because he does all the game.

Did he do... I know he did House of the Dead. I remember doing a video on that. I remember his insane letterbox reviews. I remember that. That's right. Yeah, he had like very funny reviews. Alone in the Dark.

Right. Blood rain. I'm pretty sure he did like a Far Cry movie. All off just these subsidies, basically. Yeah, crazy. From the German government. Crazy. and like low budget

shit yeah wasn't postal a game yeah yeah that's the game where like you just go around like

murdering people yeah he did do far cry blood rain too postal alone in the dark house of the durn yeah

so it's just a nutter those were fun quotes though yeah I wanted to get like a little bit of a a wicked one in there, you know? Yeah, and like a

curveball. A little bit of a curved ball. A curve meal. Look what it is, a curve meal. And on that note, I guess we'll see after these messages for God knows what. Brankers on PS5, out now. Close on. Oh, the money.

Yeah. Welcome to the second half of the car. Oh my god, I'm pretty shot right now. I am picking this up like a week later. It's just me, you know, Jill, unfortunately, for this little end section here. Yeah, it's just me because we had to bulk record a bunch of stuff because of just scheduling things. I was like away from the better part of a week and Jim's away this week as a sort of recording. This is all the stuff you don't really need to know, but I've got to ramble because it's just just me. I have this thing in my head where I don't like a cast to be under an hour.

I know some of you are out there working hard. Like having something to listen. Oh my God, I can't even speak. Like, like, enjoy. Hit the like button. Enjoy to have something to listen to as you're going about your day, doing this and that. So I thought I'd do some of the backlog of questions from the disturbing amount of, like, how many pages is this? Can I see?

379 pages worth of stuff so if you're listening to this I have the jar dock on screen this is like corncast vibes um so let's just go through some of these keep it nice and chill for 15 20 minutes round down this episode an episode which by the way pretty unhinged um I like edited the first half this morning as a recording this pickup and uh yeah to take a lot of it out because it was pretty it was like three hours in to like a bulk recording we did the the Swindon video which is up on the Patreon now which came together really well but it was just a big day loads of stuff we'd had a few drinks it was just you know how we get um if you got this far into this episode

comment delirium delirium sooner or later it's a reference to the new guerrillas album the mountain it's probably my favorite track of it I really want to talk about it in more detail on the channel somewhere. Um, been rinsing it a lot. Got lots of thoughts. Uh, but I don't think Jim's doesn't do it yet. I don't know if I can convince him.

He didn't really like Cracker Island. I don't think he even finished it. Uh, gotta convince him. Um, and I'm pretty sure I did this one last week too, but... Whatever. It's good enough where it deserves two weeks in a row. Um, I'm listening to a scary song from Blade Runner that I want to skip. Okay. Ah! So let's just... start then with this question from the Jail King Jarling. This is from the Jal Media Group

chat which you can find over on the Patreon. The others will be from the suggestion thread over on the JAR Media subreddit which you can go to and leave questions for future episodes. Square Bear, Jelking says, a new Spinosaurus variant Spinosaurus Mirabilis was recently discovered in Africa, nicknamed Hell Harron, for its distinguished crest. I've got an image on screen here. I suppose I can describe it to you audio listeners. It's imagine a spinosaurus skull, but it's got like a unicorn horn. That's incredibly cool. I love dinosaurs. When I was in Berlin, I kept seeing all this dinosaur imagery everywhere and it's like, what is you Germans? Outside of Radbull, you know how to make me

happy with your sausages and your food poisonings. Um, Super Slam says, how are you mingers? Super Slam here. What's the worst holiday you've ever been for? In 2022, I went to the island. of man. Problem is, I was in a particularly bad mental state at the time and had very little money. We stayed in a youth hostel, which was an old converted school slash church in the middle of nowhere without a lock on one of the doors. While it was very peaceful in the area, I couldn't appreciate it due to my prior mentioned problems. I guess I've had that before. I've not been in like the headspace to be socializing on a holiday, but usually the quality of the people I'm around help get me out of that or

I get how it is what is happening to my voice right now I genuinely feel like I might faint like I'm gonna get into this more in next week's episode I'm like absolutely running on fumes but I think the fact that my head can't even pull up a holiday

that really is like oh that was atrocious maybe some of the if you count them those like school holidays that you go on where it's like a bunch of hormonal year nines or whatever like in wales or comal or something like that they're not that great but they also like character building i don't know i think it's it's any kind of recently

i've started going on holiday more um through the 2010s i barely went abroad ever really it wasn't until 2019. I don't think that I went abroad. It was a huge gap there for me where I was just workhousing pretty much on IHE. Um, bay blading says, what are some of your music hot takes, like how Pink Floyd are the most overrated band of all time next to ACDC. Paws for Jim to get annoyed and give out to me. Then say this is the, then say this in the New York noir cab driver voice. Hey, Jimbo. argue with the walk a piece forget about it um Jim's not here so you you dodged a bullet there um I don't really am I weird for not being like upset by people not liking the I feel like I'm

weird for that but not getting upset for people not enjoying the things that I like like I don't get upset if people don't like pink Floyd I don't get upset if people don't like talking heads and find David Byrne shrill or whatever as far as my own heart takes I got a recent one hey you're not gonna like this are the the the the latest Taylor Swift album right I'm not like a Taylor Swift fan at all I actually don't mind the opening song on her notoriously bad latest album I think it's so I think it's okay it's no like better or worse than what I hear are considered her best pieces of pop I don't know

I don't I would I would have to like think about this in more detail to give you any any deeper ones I I kind of agree with ACDC too I can't listen to ACDC if I a lot of these old school bands I wasn't around for when they're at the their prime their peak um I don't have that innate affinity you know like I can't really listen to um oh my god oh my god my god my god my brain my brain, like Elton John and stuff like that. Saturday, Saturday! Some Queen songs are like that for me, but I don't know if that's just like an overplayed thing, I don't think that's necessarily a hot take either. Some butt wipe says, are you guys aware of Derek Savage's recent career change?

I was on the hub about to watch a Wanker's Requiem Let's Play because the story intrigues me, but the game has really started to show its age. Can't even control your party members. However, when I opened the site up, I was greeted by an old friend. He's come a long way from bullying critics of his films, but honestly, it's nice to see him doing well for himself. I would never have recognized him. What are your thoughts on him turning his life around for the better?

Like this. So, for those who are not watching, I can describe this. It looks like a banner ad from like Pornhub or something. Black History Month, Celebrate with Derek Savage. Yeah, Derek, it looks like he's not only got in great shape, but he's changed race. So fair play, fair play Derek. You never know what's coming next with that guy. He's unpredictable, I'll give him that.

Every now and again, I'll check in on what Derek's up to, usually through what Adam from IMS kind of channels my way. Go check out his video I did with him on the like, 420 awards and some of that recent stuff. Really wild on his highlights channel. He's definitely a lol cow, that's for sure. The lollest of cows. This is nice. I'm glad you're allowed to go on the hub.

It's not really allowed here anymore. Unless you've got a VPN. I'm all for people turning their lives around there. That's nice. Quiggle Omelet says, Have you heard of using dog medicine to make your hands stronger? Yes. This is actually, I've had this in the dock for ages.

Something like this. I was never able to get it into a form where it's like, yeah, this can be like a whole topic or maybe a jafter hours would be a better place for talking about a bit more. It's the concept of these social media algorithms that have channeled these short form content into these hyper niches. Like, we've had niches for years, you know? Like, IHG's a niche. But this is a super niche, a hyper, hyper niche. Where it's like, you're funneled into this thing.

And it's not just the dog medicine to make your hands stronger type thing, which if you don't know, it's this guy who's like, he's putting some kind of dog medicine for their paws, you know, which are quite, you know, they're rough, they're kind of like calluses so they can walk on the ground and not, feel pain or whatever but some guys using medicine on his hands and he can like

literally sand wood like sandpaper with his hands and I guess he's just committed his life to science and that's what he wants to do I find the hyper niches kind of like

all I can think about is the human side of it of like oh I found my thing like I saw one I think it was an instant Instagram guy who's like he chugs things. I chug everything. I've got this like glass boot and I pour like carbonara in it and I drink it and combine it with ungodly mixes like caviar or whatever. And every video he's like got tears in his eyes and he like rates out of 10. It's like, then you go on their account and they've done it hundreds and hundreds of times and it's like man, this is this is in shittification to the nth degree

but kind of like algorithm pandering that you've got to do in the short form stuff I mean you've always got to do some level of algorithm pandering if you're making content of social media but unless it's jower of course but yeah the dog bed of someone that's huckle

that was one where I was like now this is a hyper niche that I can get down with this guy's like finding someone out about the limits of the human body I suppose the chug guys too, to a certain degree. But it must be exhausting, right? You know, like the, I've mentioned him on previous episodes that he's like an actor or something. He like scream cries reacting to things.

He's like, my daughter drowned in my battling pool. Neh! And he's like screaming and crying and all of the thumbnails to his videos to him in bits. It's like, you can't get tired of that. You wake up every day and you've got to make the same, literally the same video every day. You're not allowed any type of variety content. Like, it's not even about your personality. It's about this one hyper-nuch.

And outside of it, no one cares. Your burp guy. Your glug guy. Your dog medicine guy. It's pretty unhinged. I don't know how these shorts people do it, honestly. It's... Can't be good for your brain.

No project, 593 has our next one. Greetings, man one and man two. There's only man one today, I'm afraid. Man, man, bobble, man. I theory crafted this question all week. If you could transform into an animal, what would you be? Now, if you had to fight this animal version of you, and it happens to become sort of venomized,

how would you do it? You have two weeks of prep time, and also one extra arm just to even the playing field. How would you win? Would you win? Thank you boys for another serious political podcast. Okay, I'm going to have to break this down because my brain right now cannot comprehend even what I'm being asked. If you could transform into an animal, what would you be?

Okay, if I could anamorph into something, you know it's got to be a dinosaur of some kind. It's just, will it be a carnivore? An omnivore. Quite like those creepy ones that eat eggs. They're like, they're scary. I don't want to be too scary, though. Maybe an iguanodon.

Yeah, let's say I, animal often to an iguanodon. That counts as an animal, right? Now, if you had to fight this animal version of you, a venomized iguanodon. I've got no chance. Even with two weeks of prep time, I'm not Batman. Maybe a venomized version of me versus a venomized iguanodon. Maybe.

You know what, maybe. but um I feel like you gotta you gotta go back to the drawing board on this one and give me um give me something that's a bit more like possible Rip fluid how's our next one

I'm just gonna keep going if elves were real would it be more likely that A they become the ruling class because of their advanced age or they are subjected to abhorrent racism because they are a minority race

um Um, could be a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B, right? Um, I feel like it would be kind of similar to Lord the Rings, right? Where, like, they're kind of siloed off, and they don't really want anything to do with the other, the other races of Middle Earth. Um, if they could use, like, magic and that sort of stuff, then, yeah, why would they not become rulers? I'm the ruling elf. Hello?

So that's like as far as my humor can go today. See if there's anything else that jumps out. We've already done one from Super Slam. Nah. No, Xbox questions. Oh, Ronald. Ron Ronald Ricky, no, Rick, Ricky says, I really like the inclusion of the Xbox 360 Achievement Sound

in one of the recent episodes. I know this is crazy, but I genuinely, I genuinely like it's unironic and long-standing inclusion. It feels fitting. and it's a good sound. On that note, while I have you, I dislike the fact that some, the same background music has used each and every time.

It gets tiring and bothers me in a specific and irksome way. It's probably just me, though. So I guess that actually has been an Xbox 360 achievement sound effect. For the last few episodes in the ever-growing wankers ad in the mid-break. I just didn't have the energy to add something this week to make it longer and longer, It's got the Xbox Achievement unlocked, which I don't know why they ever changed it personally.

They're like, we've got to modernize it when the Xbox One comes out and change it and get rid of that iconic sound. Yeah. I can't just put it in like willy-nilly though. It's got to be... I farm things for dopamine, right? So I'll farm it until I'm sick of it, and then I will wonder whatever found entertaining about it to begin with.

And on the background music thing, I must have internalized this whenever I screenshot this, because I think last episode I started changing it a little bit. Still like some of the same songs, but not in the same order. I guess you could say I was being a little bit lazy with the... I just have like a jar template, and one of the layers is the background music in template form, which I kind of mess around with a little bit, but... Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it goes. No one seemed to notice last week, I don't think. So I haven't been in the comments, as I say, I've been away.

My Spotify is playing these really distracting Tangerine Dream songs. So yeah, let me know if you prefer this way of doing the background music. Let me know if you're really disturbed, that it changed. I'm sure you will. Bring back the animated intro. Please Please Um

Maybe I'll wrap down with this song Wrap down Oh my god dude Wrap down Let's wind this down This one from herney boy Bebe Brothers another guerrillas thing With guerrilla's new album in the mountain

Releasing in a few weeks I wanted to ask what you guys think about Cracker Island Personally I do think there's some good songs But the project as a whole falls flat for me What do you think? can't help but agree it definitely falls flat um and until the mountain i didn't really have i guess the words or the reasoning as to why quite yet um what it is about the mountain that i think elevates it slightly over some of their recent stuff um including song machine which i actually

adore and have some of my favorite guerrilla songs ever on it aries uh desolais these are like top-tier guerrilla songs. But the packaging and the aesthetic and consistency of the aesthetic is like a big part of those early guerrillas albums that hasn't been captured in a long time. There is a continued aesthetic through humans, but I don't really like it that much. I don't think it really came together. There was that big gap in between albums. So like trying to find footing again and like figure out.

the balance of how much Damon to how much the collaborator and all this and that. And yeah, well, I agree Cracker Island has, it has some good tracks on it as a whole. It feels more to me like this would be a better song machine season two, honestly, as like a packaging. Because I was, when they first started showing off the art for it, you know, the kind of cultish or this pink clothing that they're wearing. And the idea of that is cool. I feel like since humans they've been trying to channel something like that where that's like an apocalyptic album

and there's a through line there with like this cultish stuff and that kind of thing but it's not cohesive they don't feel like they're telling a narrative or a story in the same way that plastic beach or demon days do or even self-titled where it feels like there's something cohesive holding it together like glue especially with the lack of budget for these music videos too like they i feel like the the two-d animation is ha ha two-d is essential to that stuff and i think that's what made it click recently with

the mountain is that incredible music video they made for it it's like seven eight minutes long combining like three songs the animation is so good and it really reminded me of seeing their old school videos in the early 2000s. It was the original one, like, late 90s. I can't remember. I was like a little kid. But when I first saw, like, Clint Eastwood's music video on, I was like around someone's house as a kid, I was like captivated by that.

A little bit scared by it too. It was kind of creepy. They're like zombie imagery. But someone about that, like, see it. into my brain like that that means something to me right there um coincidentally there was also the i remember seeing the duff punk around the world um imagery as well a lot on those days and it's probably embodied itself in me in some way but i remember the same thing i was so young at that time that it took years for me to even like have this is pre-smart phones to pre-spotify like there was no way

to like really listen we didn't have like a record player or anything like that. I definitely didn't have money to buy my own records or CDs. This was pre-CD. So I couldn't like just casually chuck on a guerrillas album. I probably couldn't even name it when I first saw it, but I just knew I liked it. And it wasn't until like Demon Days came out and it was like early internet kind of stuff. Not that early, but you know, for me it was an early introduction to the internet. I was in like an ICT lesson at school. We had these old ass. Um, well at the time, they were brand new, like CRT PCs and someone had opened like the guerrillas website and the, I think it was the El Manana, managna, uh, how do you say, how do you actually say that

a song now? Oh, I'm losing my mind. Um, what was feel good ink probably actually? seeing the flying windmill and stuff was like whoa so it hit me a perfect time and i just haven't had that feeling in an audiovisual sense since yeah these old as albums last being plastic beach probably so what am i getting out with all this ramble i feel like all of the the humans up to the mountain has been like trying to get back to that point of like where the mountain is at. A cohesiveness is not just a few odd songs that I love but the whole album is like a story and narrative there's all of the behind the scene stuff about like death and moving on and how like tasteful it is with using these old recordings and stuff like I could go on and on about

this and if I can get Jim to listen to the mountain I'd love to do a full as they say on it or something like this. But yeah, I'm a big guerrillas guy. Love it. And I'd recommend the mountain too, even if you haven't liked their recent output. I think there's... I'm trying to avoid the recency bias thing, but it was on my first listen after the first track,

which is like an instrumental piece, with like Dennis Hopper towards the end, using like... I guess it's unused. or reused clips of him talking about from his, the mountain called Monkey had spoken, because he's obviously saying the word mountain, like reusing that and repurposing that.

It was like a cool intro. And it's like, yeah, this is like a nice intro. I like this. This is reminiscent of some of their older stuff. Then going into Mooncave. Moon Cave is like an incredible song. That switch towards the middle of it, They're just handing off to each other.

It gives me chills. And then when you get the music video as well. Ooh. See, and that's the problem. I was barely even talking about Cracker Island. I guess bad bunnies on it. That probably helped them get some radio player. I got the co-lab of Thundercat and Tamapala and Gorillas.

That's cool. These are some of the, like, if there are people I would want to co-lab with them, what would they look like and what would that sound like? I feel like I mostly got that from those songs. Let me just have a quick look at Cracker Island, actually, and just refresh my mind on it. While I ramble on here, so we wind this episode down. Yeah. Yeah, I like the song, Cracker Island.

That's right, oil with Stevie Nix. That was a little bit of disappointment because I really like Stevie Nix. But they didn't really do much with that. They didn't do enough with that. I can't even remember the tired influencer, how does that go? Oh yeah. I actually bought this album on vinyl, so many recently because I found it in a bargain bin, in a record shop.

Which maybe is all you need to hear. I don't like the album cover either. It was just kind of like a side thing. It's like, oh, I take a picture on my phone and then Jamie put some stuff together. Jamie Hewlett, not my brother. Silent Running. I guess I haven't really returned to this album much. Yeah, quite like Silent Rwano.

Yeah, it's nothing like life-changing. I listen to New Gold a lot, because I do like Tamo Paulo. Yeah, I like to Baby Queen too, actually. And that's kind of when I'd stop. I like the first sort of six tracks and then I sort of stop. Yeah. And then the... I know, New Gold actually has more plays than that Babani one.

That kind of surprises me. Yeah Oh and Beck was on it again. I don't remember that His song on song machine is a lot better So it's nice to Have some kind of prime gorillas again Like we forget for so many pop artists that like

To have like three albums as good as they are Like in a row is kind of wild let alone for the amount of good music since humans that is in there, maybe not as an entire album, but the amount of tracks from it and like these EPs and like random stuff that they threw out there. I can't remember what it's called. Is it the Meanwhile EP? Let me just double-check that, so I'm not talking out my horse.

Yeah, meanwhile, EP. Really good EP. Like they just didn't know like, advertising for it or like branding or anything so they're just like tucked away and hidden but all through those songs are great song machine is awesome I actually like the now now a lot too but I kind of wish they'd they'd packaged it as like a 2d solo album like why not you know um that kind of think it'd be cool but yeah I guess I'll end this pickup here um I hope that was a chill little way of rounding this down making it like a full up for you a thing is crum

Frost, Jim will be back. I know that's the plan. I don't know how brave he's being with when he's back and how much energy he's going to have. But we'll see. Hope you enjoyed this episode. This is like a, just thinking about like how much of a contrast, this kind of chill end bit is compared to the first. but uh hope you enjoyed check out the Swinam video on the Patreon and the whole playlist on there some good stuff going down I'll see on the next step

bye
