Good afternoon, morning, evening on night, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Alex, and this is episode 187 of the JARCast.
I am joined today by Jamie.
What?
What up?
And the dryback himself, James.
Yo.
Yeah, this is like an audio thing.
You nodding doesn't really come across.
Hey, I'm really excited
So when I'm excited I don't talk
I thought you should know this
Okay
187 episodes and you don't know that
Come on
Quick question
They say they say it takes
About 100 episodes to start
To really figure out how podcasting
Like is
And like you start to get good
Supposed to be around 100
Right
When would you say
As objectively as you can
Despite the fact we are literally
the cast members and make the cast
when do you think
we sort of got it a bit more
Christ it took a
It'll be past episode 100 I reckon
I'd say about
230, 220
So you're
You're sort of planning
Yeah no in my head
That's when it's just going to
It's going to
By then every episode will be
incredible
And I swore
We're still going
We're still growing
Yeah
Our early jar was
it wasn't it was just chaos well there was method in the madness yeah i had the like list on my
pc of like subjects and i'd just look at them now and i'd be like what does that mean you had like
the same list every time yeah like 50 60 episodes yeah like 60 episodes yeah like 60 episodes you're the
one about us being transformers like what our names were that was at the top i'm pretty sure i was
the top of list before we go any further though of course um big thanks to the patrons who make the show possible
especially in these times of crisis
with our potty mouths getting every
video we make. My potty mouth, let's just
be honest with ourselves.
You're terrible. Jim's potty mouth.
I mean, don't go in on me
quite like that. It's more than
a potty mouth. No, because
it's like a public toilet. It's
bizarre. I don't know if I've mentioned it before
for those listening or watching, but
the way it works is it only
looks for swears in the first few minutes
of the video. So as long as you get
five, ten minutes in, then you can start saying,
the most horrendous stuff in the world
but the algorithm looks
for things early on because I guess most
videos are watched most of the attention
time is at the beginning
so it makes more sense to flag it based
around that based on the weird
and Jim every time without fails always slips
in
but yeah and of course
merch available too check the description
that's all that stuff out the way
and well there's one other thing I suppose we need to
address potentially is
we've got a few
extra subs
recently because of some
successful videos
namely the nostalgia critic
the wall video so if you're a new
subscriber on this video as a
result of that welcome we'll try
and we'll try and include you
in a way that makes as much
sense as possible
which we'll do by starting with a
simple subject that James actually
inspired me to
note down earlier because it's something
that needs to be discussed, something of grave importance to us all.
Why do dogs have scorpion stingers?
That is the question of the day, and that's what I want to break down and discuss for the people out there right now.
Why do dogs have scorpion stingers?
Dogs don't.
I don't.
The phrasing of the question is just factually.
Why?
okay you phrase it in a way that makes sense then if you got a dog next you right now
grab their tail or if you don't just go on the street you know just find
find a dog um and finger to be careful with your wording
use your pinky finger item no just grab its tail as long as it has one has been docked
yeah and like find the end of the tail you've got to go through the fur
and find that actual tip
Yeah, it sounds very
like invasive, but it's
not, just the way we're describing it sounds really
weird. No, it doesn't.
It does, you're like, take your finger
and then...
No, you hold a tail, and then
wiggle your finger in.
That sounds normal.
But yeah,
of course, you know,
we don't have tails, do we?
We have tail bones.
Yeah, but like a dog's tail, it's a continuation of their spine.
So they actually have bones in their tail, right?
Yeah.
But you never think about how the tail comes to a point at the end.
And it is like a spike.
Yeah.
But it's like a flesh spike.
Is it flesh?
To me, it's more, it feels more like a fingernail.
Like their equivalent of a nail?
No, it's not quite a fingernail, but it's like.
um
the
what's the stuff
cartilage
yeah
you reckon
it's too sharp
like
no it's not
it is
you're a really sharp
one
no
but it wasn't like
a fingernail
at all
it wasn't
like
it kind of was
dude
no it's like
malleable
gunge
no I disagree
and
it's
It's pointed to the fur can grow out and form the tip of the tail.
Quite simply.
You see, I'm pretty sure Billy being a cat, I don't think she is a spike.
Have you tested?
But cats have like rounded tails anyway.
Yeah.
Dogs, they have like sharp tails, so it makes sense for it to have a little hidden spike in case of emergencies.
Well, what's the emergency?
Oh, I don't know. Self-defense?
I think they've got like a jaw that's designed.
Imagine if they were pinned down and only their tail was free
Suddenly they have another weapon to use
To stab much in the same way a scorpion might stab
No definitely not
You're talking a bit of wrong things
A bit of wrong things
Well any other thoughts on the scorpion's stinger tales or...
It's evolution
Yeah, quite literally
Although that doesn't exist
They were scorpions, then a scorpion
had a baby and that that grew fur to be warm in the winter and then that had a baby
and it was a dog no but then no there's no because it's got to lose more of its legs first
before it becomes a dog it got on a fight and then it yeah it got on a fight then had a baby then
that was a dog yeah I didn't listen to any of what you just said and I'm going to move on now
no wait in the same vein why do scorpions have claws self-defense
as I said.
Well no, because they need that to grab things.
They can't...
Well, a spider doesn't need to grab things.
How else are they supposed to text each other and stuff?
Fuck you.
No, for real.
Like, why do scorpions need hands?
Because they do stuff.
Like what?
They build.
Yeah, they build.
What the fuck do they build?
They craft, like, things.
What are they craft?
Well, they can't use their stinger for that, can they?
They collect up sticks and make little dens and all sorts.
They don't make dens?
They're scorpions.
They dig underground.
They've got dig.
They're not going to use their pincar to dig.
No, but they've got loads of legs.
Like a spider.
That's to support their body.
That's not to do things with.
Yeah, but why doesn't a spider need to do things and a scorpion does?
A spider does do things.
They use their arms to create webs.
Here's a more pressing question, though.
Dynonicus or Velociraptor.
Dynonicus.
Velociraptor?
Here's the thing, but why did you choose Velociraptor though?
Because they're kind of cute.
Okay, fair.
Fair, you spun my expectations back around on me.
Clearly understanding that Velociraptors, of course, were not the...
Jurassic Park.
The Jurassic Park interpretation, they were not...
They were birds?
They were chicken.
No, they were...
Yeah, they were small.
They were tiny little things.
They weren't that small.
They weren't chicken size.
they were small
compared to...
I thought they were like
waist height
Yeah like
Dolkjite
Labrador size
They'd still be of course
terrifying
But on the silver screen
There's something less scary
About a dinosaur
That's a chicken
Yeah
Although in the second one
They have
In the second Jurassic Park
That is
The Lost World
Or whatever the hell it's called
They have got those little
What they call
Comcompe's they call them
Compaginathus
Something like that
That's
chickens basically. Yeah, but
like in the movie, one of
the nihilists from the big Lebowski gets
eaten by
a bunch of compies.
Yeah. Oh yeah, that's quite horrible.
Have you, have, if we few
you into a hen for the vangu
chickens, you'd get eaten as well?
No, if chickens were the size
of us, damn straight they would eat us.
They would tear us to shreds.
Yeah. So what you're saying is... Like, what is one of the most dangerous
animals? A cassowary. And they're just
dinosaurs. They are just raptors
effectively. You've seen what those things can
do? But yeah, they're fucking horrifying.
Casawares are a scary bird.
Do not mess with them,
especially for you out there who live in
countries where they also exist.
Be careful out there. Don't they like rip your eyeballs
out?
I've heard stories.
Anyway, can you keep me on track
please? Bring us dinosaurs
and distracting me. Yeah, say the scorpion
thing.
Why?
Well, they need to do things
The claws
No, listen
Idea
Okay
Why did evolution
Make these strands
Right
It goes it
For coolness
No, it goes in two directions
There's the spider strand
Oh do you know another one I like
Celophyses
Sorry continue
There's the spider strand
And the scorpion strand
Right
And they separated
Um
why did they not combine the strand
and make...
The spiders do
excel at things that
scorpions don't and vice versa.
Exactly.
So you put them into one strand.
Yeah, and you have a camel spider.
No, because that thing doesn't have a stinger.
No, imagine a spider with a stinger and claws.
And it can also make webs.
And it can also make webs and like
swing around and stuff.
Scorpions can't make web.
webs. No, exactly. That's what I'm saying. A spider that has the stinger and the claws.
So you're saying if a spider just was a scorpion, then they'd be much more efficient.
They're too big. No, no, what you're saying?
No, they're not. You're, you don't realize there are scorpions of varying sizes much like a spider.
So what you're saying, Jamie. Or spiders.
It's like a spider that has like a hard shell exoskeleton like a scorpion with the pincers and the claws.
That is a spider, basically.
That is fucking horrifying.
Imagine in the corner there's a fucking scorpion, like, on a web.
That's fucking, you know, that doesn't exist?
No, I know, but I'm questioning.
I don't think it is as ultimate.
Alex, why?
Because a spider is perfectly designed around its way of hunting.
It's like, obviously not every spider, but they're light as a feather,
and they, like, drift in the wind and create webs.
And they have to be light
And they have to be able to move really quickly
Yeah, scorpions can move quickly
Yeah, but that's not even the case
Like tarantulas
They just use their web
They hunt differently
I'm talking about whatever
Why don't tarantulas have stingers and claws then
Then they could build
Do they have stingers?
No, they have fangs
Yeah, but I'm getting confused
Because in Lord of the Rings
It has a stinger as well
Yeah, that's true actually
That's really confusing
But Shilob isn't real
okay no you're your argument shit because scorpions are like that
anyway what you know you're talking about a scorpion that is inherently just a
spider is fucking horrifying because it's like you can't put you can't put a glass
over it because it would just fucking attack you if it's stinger you can't win
it's the ultimate predator your dog is gonna it's got that scorpion in the
corner is gonna fuck it up you're gone
Paisley would have a good turn on a scorpion
I reckon. Oh, so...
Okay, what's scarier? Here's something
more palatable. What's scarier? Spider or
scorpion? Big spider there, big scorpion
which one? Big scorpion.
Spider? Do you reckon? Yeah.
I've eaten a scorpion. No, I feel like I can
take a spider. We have conquered scorpions
in the form of eating them.
We haven't conquered spiders in the form
of eating. I'm not going to eat a spider. And it depends.
Like, I don't find the big, slow
spiders scary. They aren't
fucking slow. No, that's what I'm
No, some are.
No, spiders aren't slow, Alex.
No, you're thinking of, like, tarantulas, which are very slow.
Spiders are quick.
But the tarantula is a spider.
But as you said, it's a different kind for a different purpose.
Yeah, but you have never been in.
What are we talking about?
You're, what arachnids are we actually talking?
You were just like, imagine if there was a spider over there and the scorpion.
No, but you said you don't find slow spiders very scary.
What fucking slow spider have you ever met?
Loads.
the ones that just sit around just chilling
well they all sit around and chill
that's because they ain't moving
no but they're scarier to me because
scorpions are scarier because they
oh whatever
why because they're the same spiders
you've realised you're wrong
pincers no because
they're more armoured
they look like something out of the dark crystal
and we've eaten one and it was not armoured
it fucking mushinged one out
but imagine having to take down a scorpion
yeah exactly
That's why they're fucking scary
And that's why they be even worse
That's what I said though
But that's what
If they make fucking
Wrabs they'd be fucking horrifying
That's the way I'm saying
You've gone back to the previous thing
Yeah what you even talking about
The question was which is scarier
Spiders
Scorpion
Why is a spider scarier than a scorpion
Because I really like scorpions
And they're really cute
Why is it?
James has just cop out to everything
No no generally
I like scorpions
I think they're so fascinating
So you'd pick one up then, would you?
If you wasn't, no, I wouldn't.
They're fucking scary.
They are scary, but I think spiders are just scarier.
I think spiders look scarier.
Yeah.
So I'm more scared of spiders.
Although I think I'd have more of a chance against the spider than a scorpion.
Yeah, that's my logic.
Because there's no way I'm picking up a scorpion.
I'll pick up a spider, whatever.
Would you eat a scorpion?
No.
Well, maybe a fried one.
No, it's not fired.
Anyway, enough of this scorpion topic.
I was not intending all of that to happen.
Well, you fucking reap what you so, bro.
There's something I want to talk about.
I hope you guys don't mind.
Because it is...
It's about something.
Is it about scorpions?
No.
It's about something I think we're all a bit tired of.
of that being
Shane Dawson
No that being
Star Wars
I'm not tired of it
But this isn't about the movies
As much as it's about
Recently
Bob Eiger
The Disney CEO
Released
like a memoir
Or something
And it was revealed in it
That George Lucas
felt betrayed
By the way
Star Wars has
been treated by them.
So, of course,
the story goes,
Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney
for $4 billion or whatever it was.
And he had,
if not, scripts already written out,
like, some kind of story, like,
planned, all around
the wills or something.
This weird concept where, like,
I'm going to go, um,
microbiology level with this one.
Yeah. I remember hearing about this.
before the sequels even came out.
But obviously they didn't take that
because Disney's like,
no, we want to make money.
So it's kind of sparked this huge thing now
because already the Disney Star Wars hate train,
I don't know if it's ever been bigger than it is right now
because of...
I reckon it was bigger.
like sooner
or closer to
the previous movie coming up
after
basically after Last Jedi
it's just been
absolute chaos in the Star Wars community
so any any bit of news like this
is a
I just like I just find that
the Star Wars fan reaction
quite interesting because
the only reason I know about this is because
someone posted in my subreddit that
you know Jeremy Johns
a YouTuber
who does videos on movies
he uploaded a video in response
to this news
coming out about him
George Lucas saying that he's disappointed or whatever
and how Star Wars has been treated
and
in this video
Jeremy Johns he's like
he's nearly on the point of tears
talking about it
taking this stance as if
like
it is really insulting to George Lucas and stuff
what's happened
and all the comments of course are like
man I feel so sorry for George and stuff
and it's just come to this point where I'm like wait
let's be real about
this whole situation right
he chose to sell it like no force his hand
I was going to say
they they didn't
owe him anything he got four billion dollars and it's like well maybe like genuinely
what you're expecting selling it to the biggest like entertainment company and on in the world the thing
is you didn't expect them to just turn it into a fucking machined you know like factory made product
line that you've always hated and now you're complaining yeah it doesn't make sense but like
I reckon the reason he sold it is because
nobody would want to fund him
making another Star Wars
Yeah because yeah because like
The previous three he made were fucking trash
That's the thing like
It almost seems like that's not really
The accepted opinion anymore
It's kind of come round a bit
Where it's like
No prequel era is good Star Wars
And it's just Disney that's
ruined it.
But that's just...
It doesn't make it true though.
Because those movies are bad.
Well yeah, but part of me wonders if the reason he sold Star Wars was simply because
of how jaded he felt after making the prequels.
Yeah.
I mean, even, I'm pretty sure even he knows that at least the first, uh, the Phantom
Menace is a bad movie.
Like, you can see the reaction to him watching it for the first.
time the funnier one is the face on his like main producer yeah like when they screen the
movie for the first time and he actually looks like he's seen a ghost yeah that's what i mean like
why would after a producer like that has had that experience why would anyone want to fund
another one i will say though that yes i actually i think i would have preferred to have
seen whatever
George Lucas did with it instead of selling it to
Disney because as soon as Disney
gets their hands on anything like it is just
going to be you know the milk
teats are going to be
milked dry pretty quick
until there are no tits left to milk
it's just
so weird to me dude like
you must have so you had so much money at that point
before selling it
and it is
your ultimate create you have the right
to, if not
the biggest IP of all time,
the most valuable thing.
And instead of just holding onto it,
he chose to sell it, get rid of it.
Yeah.
What could have happened behind the scenes?
Because it's like, yeah.
It must have got, it must be at a point with him,
though, where he is just so astronomically rich
that surely having the rights to his baby
would value
just you know a few more billion in the bank you know it's just so strange to me and especially
now that you you kind of get the impression that he does regret his decision yeah which is like
so sad to me in this weird way because it's like he's always come at it from his angle of like
like a passionate kind of angle where it's like his story and his world and he's trying to develop
it and in his weird way of doing it that he created
this huge like like the wall he like built a wall up around himself and his fans so then after that
whole prequel experience he's just like he was so over it I guess and was like other people can
have this now or maybe he thought other things were going to happen we don't know everything
that went on behind the contracts and stuff I guess I'd come from it from the perspective where
if you spent so long like developing this passion project almost and then everyone hates on it
instantly. Of course you're going to feel so terrible with yourself over it and you're going to
hate the passion project and then you're going to sell it like he did.
That seems the most logical thing to me at least.
Yeah, but then it must be so weird for him now though because he's semi attached almost as like a weird
like backhanded credit where he's like, yeah, you can be a producer but we're not actually
really going to listen to you. Yeah, you won't have creative control like,
you once did.
But it's like...
See, he sold it and he still gets paid for being a producer on it.
Like, what, how did he lose?
Because in his mind, like, it's his creation.
I mean, it...
The sequels have been managed awfully.
Yeah.
Terribly.
It's hilarious what they did.
Like, I actually cannot believe what they've done.
Mm-hmm.
Um, and just the absolute state in the way.
they treated it and now their their solution seems to be oh that's right we haven't made it enough
like marvel yeah let's restructure this and bring the marvel guy in he'll fix it wait have they
actually last i heard or red or whatever kevin foggy might be producing one or something
who was the guy from mcc and it's like you're you guys like you just don't understand any of this
and I was
I was reading something lately
about how upset some people still are
about the way like when Disney bought it
they just eradicated all the extended universe stuff
like all those books or those games
all that stuff people have been
because back in the day
there wasn't all the extra Star Wars stuff
there were three movies
and just
so many years of extra
expanded knowledge stuff
and that's like what the real fans
had to attach themselves to at the time
yeah the books
And now all of that is just like, it's not real, technically, within the universe, whatever.
I can see why that must be really frustrating.
Like the old Republic, you know, that type of stuff.
Yeah, like there were those books that took place after Jedi or whatever that are quite highly regarded, I think.
Or that there's that famous character, the blue guy.
I don't know if you, I've never read them myself because I'm like a,
millennial Star Wars fan
So like my Star Wars was the prequels
Those are the ones I grew up with
And that's like a whole journey
But
Yeah it's just an interesting idea to me
It's like
Trying to put yourself in his shoes
Where it's like do you
Own this
And like I was reading all this backstory
About like these incredibly intelligent decisions he made
Businesswise with Star Wars
like he
he funded like empire
largely off his own back
or something like that
because he hated the whole like
Hollywood system and he like really stood against
all of it
and made serious bank as a result
because it's just a good businessman
so just selling it in the end
it's just so strange to me
no but it's just like
maybe that was purely a business move then
well let's but if you made something
and then someone's offering to
pay four billion for it
that's the ultimate goal.
It seems like you would be able to
negotiate it. Yeah, if you
Well, do you, do you not think he
did? Four billion is a ridiculous
amount of money. But I'm surprised
there wasn't some contractual agreement
for him to have
more control over it still, or
something. Yeah, but why would someone
pay $4 billion to get
a bit of control?
Not a bit of control. I mean,
I'm surprised there's not some
something in the contract, like,
We don't know that
And if he's a producer on it
Then surely he's got control
And he probably negotiated that
No, because
Yeah
He's like
He wouldn't be like the main producer
He isn't Kathleen Kennedy
Or whatever name is
Um
So
Yeah
It seems from a detached perspective
That like the secret would be
Right
You use George Lucas
As like an ideas bank
And then you get
Some of the really talented scream
writers in they take some of that craziness and the uniqueness and the and together you sort of form like a
story and then knowing that this is going to happen you sit down and you plan out like a trilogy
with some kind of you know arc some link between them because instead of just making it up as
they go along and people like contest that now like there's so much conflicting information about like
the actual truth in the matter of like what actually was planned but whatever it was must have
been written on a fucking napkin because yeah they just flip-flop and now like the new one is
like it's so clawing like shit we're like we've written ourselves into a corner here uh the emperor
yeah let's do that now and we're gonna answer all the stuff you want to know it really does
seem like they just had no idea from the get-go.
JJ Abrams just...
You know what I'm fearful of now?
It's because of the failure of their attempt at Star Wars.
Well, failure in, you know, different ways.
It makes me wonder if they're just going to be like, well,
how about we just remake the old ones then
instead of making our new ones because all the material's already there?
And they can't hate it if we just remake it again, right?
Aladdin worked really well.
And the Lion King is, like, they all make billions.
And they're just remakes anyway.
So, like, the hard part's done.
I don't know if it's too sacred.
Yeah, I think it might be.
And, yeah, maybe in 20, 30 years.
I don't know, Matt.
I would not be surprised if that starts happening, at least within our lifetimes.
Maybe add a few more decades on.
Hmm.
Because, I mean, we've said it before.
With decades, definitely.
I reckon.
Yeah.
I just don't think.
in the next like five years
that's going to happen
well at that time
that CG might be so advanced
that they remake it like
with like young CG versions
of the actors whatever like
the exact same but just looks Bella
but yeah
back after these messages for question time
want a dick on a shirt
check the description below
can we quickly just talk about something
what
Ganges Satellite.
What?
Ganges Satellite?
What are about...
Far too fucking early, Jim.
You're literally
fucking months early.
Months?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're gonna have to explain.
I don't know what to do you.
No, we'll just wait until the future, I suppose.
Remember, guys, the Ganges Satellite.
Gunger Satellite.
Okay, well, otherwise, this is the part of the show
where we answer questions from the JAR Media Reddit.
If you want to leave your own questions,
head over to the suggestion thread and ask whatever you like.
You may be received with answers
Yes
You may be received with answers

So you think Alex has a bigger dick?
Well, yeah.
No, I'm not even

A bigger
Wait so you want more ass to
Well yeah
If you got to eat ass you want
big ass
is that true
I don't
I guess so
haven't eaten

bro
just fucking
anima it up
and
I see people
in the streets
of Swindon
every day
eating each other's
ass on the
pavement side
on the pavement
side
yep
ID Talix's
ass is what I'm saying
okay
I'll take that
as a compliment
good you should
but I might fart
That's fuck
Plambly asks
Best slash worst pieces of playground
equipment
Oh my God
The best
Those seats on like a zip line
And it's like really long
Oh yeah
I don't know if that's cool
Those are good
Yeah
Those are great and you'd fall off them and have horrible head injury
Where do we land on
slides.
They're pretty shit.
They're shit.
No, but the thing is.
A good slide is sick.
A good slide.
I'm talking like the death slide
is next level.
It's a risk of reward.
Slides aren't shit.
Like typical playground slides.
A shit.
Not as a kid though.
They're fine.
Even as a kid I thought they'll shit.
No, worst playground thing is the like
the bicycle, the little things on a swing.
Yeah, a thing you sit on and it's
a spring.
It's like a hippo
or a little animal.
A little motorbike.
If it specifically
went forwards and backwards,
fine.
But it just goes
fucking everywhere and you got no control.
Yeah, probably because we're like
10 stone adults on...
Well, I haven't been on one since I was a kid.
I don't fucking...
It did that when you were on one
when there's a little kid?
Well, it's not a smooth
forwards and backwards.
I can't remember.
Those are bad.
No, there's a certain one
which is so crap.
like, it's kind of like a ramp
with a skateboard
sort of on tracks
with two chains
so you hold onto the chains while you're standing on like a
skateboard that's
wedged between these rails. I've only ever seen
one of these. I've seen
they're different now but they are literally the same
you stand on a platform that moves and you kind of have to pull yourself up and down
basically. You pull yourself left and right. Those suck
yeah. I don't even
know what they're called they're so bad yeah but going back to slides though one of my
favorite childhood memories is what was known as the death slide it was it was like a
slide that just went totally vertical than it then a nice sort of like do it you had to
literally leap off and then land on the slide and then down we had to climb up inside this
building because it was kind of inside this like wooden area you like climbed up and
there was like an adult sat at the top
and they were like
make sure you tuck your shirt in
because if you don't you're gonna get
burn
burn
and and now and again
you would get a burn from the death slide
and it was like
that was awesome
it was like the most satisfyingly horrible burn
it was just like I like that
ow
and you would like figure out tactics
on the death slide
to get like the most launch
and the
it was just that was a good slide
I was always too scared
Yeah, I went on it once
I never did it properly
I'd hang
Ah yes
And then let go
Yeah because it's like
You're just plunging yourself into so much potential harm
Just flinging yourself off an edge
Everything in your brain is like
Don't do it
Yeah
It's fucking
Being like a kid and you're looking at it
And it is literally just like
It's like a big thing as I'm just like
Oh fuck I'm scared of heights
I can't do that
Yeah it must have been about two stories high
It was three no it was like a four story
high fucking building, Alex.
I remember the climb up being
quite tense
as well, because I just remember
that the way you got up to the top of the death slide
was like this jungle gym
thing. You had to like climb up
multiple layers to go out.
You're thinking of something else.
No, no, yeah, it was.
Yeah, it was, yeah, because you could
either stop off at the death slide
or keep going up.
Oh, right, yeah, to the tube slides.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just, like, to get onto it,
there was like a lower platform,
like on the other side, then you go up and then you get all there to like four stories high
and you go across this like tightrope and then there's a really long slide
and then just over us where you walk straight into the top of the death slide.
No, that wasn't the only way to get to the death slide.
Obviously, yeah.
And then there's the tube slides that were like fucking twisting windie.
Yeah, but it was like designed in a way where you had like a walk of shame
because a lot of people when they hear about the death slide, they've got to see it for themselves obviously.
So they go up to the death slide
And they look over and they're like, no
And then they've got to do the shame climb back down
Which I did a lot
I'll be honest, I did the shame climb a lot
Because I was just like, I'm too scared
I used my fear to enhance the death slide experience
You're just like, I'm scared
Because I'm the same when I'm like waiting in line
For like a roller coaster
Like I'm like, I want to die at the moment
And then I'm on it and I'm locked in
And it's like, okay
like no escape now the lack of when when the control is taken away from you then you can you're just sort of like well
well that that's the definition of anxiety really isn't it it's like while the control is away from you
in anticipation of something while it's happening you don't really have time to even yeah i mean like
there's no but there's no point like you're sat there on a roller coaster you can't get off because
you'll die if the thing goes wrong you'll die but like
funny yeah what what what can you do about it nothing then just fucking enjoy it
how about this how do you guys feel about um those like indoor jungle gyms or what do you
even call them those indoor play areas you know there's like soft play areas they're like
cities almost that you can explore yeah it's like a maria level yeah so exactly like a
Mario level with like ballpits and
sort of challenges.
I always liked them as a kid but I shit myself
in one month.
Did you actually?
Yeah, years and years ago I was like five.
It was when I was scared of toilet so I never peed.
And I went seven, I went a week, seven days without taking a shit.
And then it was somebody's birthday and I was there and I shat myself.
In the ball pit.
Do you remember where what ride you're on?
Well, not rides.
No, I was just climbing through, and then it was like,
this can't be held in at any longer.
Oh, how many people do you think sit in the ball pit and just like shit or poop?
I'm sure every other ball is like a bit of feces.
Like, the Chucky Cheese player isn't known to have fecal matter in them.
You know, I was one of the poo kids.
But I remember those places being so magical.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they were in these, like, big warehouses, and you went in and they're kind of,
it was kind of like going into
Moss-sizedy canteener
or something like that
where there's just an atmosphere
just scum and villainry
I always hurt myself
severely in those things
because you know
at one point they'd be like
they're designed to be impossible
to hurt yourself
they'd be like a woman
there's a punching bag in different places
you just fucking one face
person to them as fast as possible
bounce off and like smack head against her
Do you remember the way
there was sort of an uneasy
an uneasy alliance
sort of going on
within the factions
inside the soft players
where like whenever you came across
like another child
it was a bit like
how's it's just going to go down
it was like the Wild West
like in there's all these like kids
and they
it's like Lord of the Flies
yeah parents just put their kids into a
fucking cube
yeah and God forbid
if um you get a borsy like kid who's like a couple years above you yeah and like if they're if they're
just protecting like the highest slide which of course is one of the most desirable that you want to get
to the top and have the longest journey down but sometimes people would they sort of set up camp as it
were outside of the hole and just guard it and like not let people pass and you're not going
to barge through unless you're a confident kid which I wasn't I was more of a schemer yeah then you have to
walk back, like walk backwards
and then there'll be ongoing traffic
and then you have to tell what a kid's like,
oh, you can't go that way, there's bullies.
Honestly, once, I remember having a, yeah, yeah, exactly.
It just formed like this little, like, rebellion
versus, you know, the empire sort of conflict
within inside these arenas of war.
Then it's like, you get to the ball pit challenge
and then there'd be the big kids and they throw balls at you,
so you've got, like, assault your way through.
I wonder if this is some kind of,
government programs to sort of
train up soldiers in a sense.
Yeah, they watch
you in the ball pit
and see who would make the best soldiers.
Oh, that one's a bit aggressive.
Mark him down.
Like, did you never get into,
did you, you never the one way?
So, when there's other kids coming, you'd like
purposely push them into like the punching
bags and stuff and like,
like, because you'd race to the top, right,
to get to the slide. So you'd like,
sabotage over people behind you.
I remember that, I remember part of the excitement being
though a genuine element of
that fear and unknown
because there was like
almost like a
what's that Japanese game show where they're just
Tukaki's Castle yeah it's like
Tikeshi's castle where you just don't know what's
around the corner and it's some
any crazy thing could happen it could be
a kid with rabies it could be like
an animal that's broken in. Someone taking a
poo? Yeah like you just don't know
what's going to happen I didn't like fucking trousers
down take a shit so shit myself
it was like I would have been climbing
on something and it just slipped
out. And then it's like there'll always be
someone crying because they hurt themselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the beginning of saving
Private Ryan in one of these things. That's how it felt
as well because they're quite, they're quite smoky
as well and you can't see very well and it's like
lights flashing and all the different
colours gives you like... It's very intense.
It's crazy because it's just like
there'll always be like a set amount of kids
ready to go in and you just charge
straight head first, just straight in
as fast as possible. Honestly, one of the best moments
of my life was
there was
I went to one
when you shoot yourself
in a play area
no I went to one
that it was
it was a laser quest
battle
in one of those
soft play areas
so everyone was armed
with a laser quest
rifle
and they were just
let loose
and it was red versus blues
and like
it just became like
actual warfare
without the injuries
of course
and I just got
I managed to get to the top
and I was like
right sniping
sniping
being from the top of where that slide was
and I had the escape exit ready
so I was like really paranoid looking behind
me to see if anyone was coming and when someone did
it was like oh get in the slide
I didn't go all the way down and just on another level
it was like Vietnam in there
it was mental
your flashbacks is why you've been having trouble
sleeping wait what if that's
what if that's the like cause of
every mental issue I've ever had
PTSD
just so intense wait we've not
talked about something crucial at
playgrounds. What? Swings.
Swings are a solid staple. You can't go
wrong. Swings. Swings are
S-Tia. No.
Yeah, no. They're incredible. They're the best thing
at any playground. Swings are the best.
And there's nothing sadder than a vandalized one.
No. But there's also nothing sad than when you'd go to
the playground, like, just going to get to the swing
to, like, people. Especially if there are two of you.
yeah
and then there's only
no it's sad when the bully kids
used to try and push it so it'd hook over the top
and you can't let it anymore
just pure chaos
I was when you did that
I tried to anyway
they just watched the dark night
I'm like yeah I really
I'm the Joker
watch this anarchy
no
no no but things are shit
because there always be one time
you use your balance and you fall back
head first and you smack your head on the floor
and it's just like
James always ends up just smacking his head off things.
I don't think I ever fell off a swing.
Yeah, I did.
Like, in actual fact, we became such swing masters
that we would launch ourselves at the height of the swing
and see how high and far we could fling ourselves off the swing.
I reckon we would have been like parkour experts had we had a slightly different childhood.
Yeah.
Well, at least...
It's actually a core memory of mine, you teaching me how to swing.
Higher.
Yeah, because I was, I'm three years older than you, so I would have been, had more weight.
And you can really, once you understand the, like, the physics of a swing, you can really go crazy, so high that it's actually a bit.
I remember actually being scared that I was going to, like, go, go over 90 degrees and be, like, upside down.
Sometimes you could go so crazy that it would be beyond 90 degrees.
Yeah, and it was scary when you'd reach the peak and it would buckle.
Yeah, because like...
And then it really was a bit of a troubling matter
and you just had to commit to launching yourself.
And it really hurt your feet when you landed.
Really fucking...
But at the same time, you felt that you're flying.
I just saw the video on Facebook where it's like this huge swing
and the chain on the swing is so long
and this guy was literally...
Fucking looped it.
And that seems...
When he was on it?
Yeah, he was literally swinging like that for ever and just fucking looped it.
Like that seems so scary because it got so high.
It's like almost...
vertical and someone
it was still going
and it's just like oh my god
that seems so
fucking scary to me
I avoided the swings
after banging my head a few times
no the swings are important
swings are the best thing
at any playground
no I'm going to stay true to my
they're like the chicken
of the playground
the chicken
yeah why a chicken
in terms of what
yeah
then the
The really long thing is like a steak
Because it's not, you don't want it all the time
But when you get it, it's just like
Oh, right
What really long thing
You're talking about food
The really long thing
Where you sit on it and you go
The flying fault
The thing is they're not
They're nowhere near as common as
Yeah, they're rare
They are really aware
But when that's what makes them better
It's like a steak
You don't have them often
But when you do it's like yes
Yeah so it's A tier
No it's S tier
I also fell off them multiple times
I'm playing my head
you sound like you need to wear a helmet
yeah
like with each head bang
you end up becoming more likely
to get another head bang
yeah yeah literally
it's fucking scary
that's why I don't bang my head anymore
what you would do it on purpose
come on next question
we run that one for a good fucking
half hour
no because it's
do you never just see a playground
and think or like a soft player
and be like I just want to go in
No, thinking about the death slide now, I want to go on the death slide.
Yeah.
We look so fucking weird, 23 years old, it's like, yes!
Our adults are allowed on the death slide.
Yes.
I'm pretty sure our parents, well, they at least went up to see it.
I think Dad might have done it.
Really?
Yeah.
Charmedia filmed on top of the death slide.
Yeah.
Four funnies die on the death slide.
Oh, got lots of memories of that place, but anyway.
Oh, God, no, you're giving me really bad nostalgia.
I want to be a kid again
Cat Spider 2 has one for us
A question
A question
Imagine this
It's 10 years ago
You're having a wank
And your mother walks in on you
Ten years ago I was 12
Yeah but that's the point of the question
It's to make sure that
We were innocent
You're having a wank and your mother walks in on you
But in the moment before she opens the door
You have to make the lightning fast decision
do you either close the video you're watching or pull your pants up
you cannot do both
um see I was smart
they made the mistake of I guess
they're in a situation where they need to pull their pants up
yeah instead of being hidden yeah in some way
that's the thing no but did you not have the thing when you're younger where
if you were watching it you'd have the curse over the X button already so
in the emergency case you just go ding and you're safe i did that i was so paranoid that i was just
like put it there put it there and then once when you hear that door start you're just like
oh hello mom wait so you would watch it at like a desk then yeah did you not have like an
ipad or an ipod but they're not going to see an ipad if it's facing me not that that matters
the question is you have to make a decision yeah i would you be in that situation
Would you rather close the video or pull your pants up?
What you do is you close the video and then just have a wee.
James would always make sure he drank plenty of water beforehand so he could just...
Stop pissing on the floor.
You knew he needed to pee.
Stop pissing.
Just walking in, you sense.
Like a fucking fountain in the desk
Why are you peeing at your desk, James?
Just piss going everywhere
Oh hi mum
And it would be that horrible like
Dual stream piss as well
No, because it wouldn't have crystallized
At that point
Crystalized
What's the answer? What's your answer?
Close the video
Because you can always just be like
No I think I'd pull my pants
But...
Really?
Yeah.
What could I...
What could I possibly be watching that's so bad that I'd rather show my wrecked penis off?
Over the video being seen.
I mean, like, hardcore anal.
You don't want a fucking parent seeing that?
Well, they've probably seen it, so it's just like they get it.
They're like, oh, we know your bum bum.
I actually remember when I was in year seven, I'd always use mum's laptop to do, like, work.
No, you told this story.
Have I actually?
You know, it's fun.
Go on, tell it.
It was the first time I ever stumbled across Simpson's porn.
I must just say, this is fucking crazy right now.
and for some reason i just left it on the laptop and then i like
like when my mum went on to go on it to do send some emails and shit and there was some
like awfully drawn like terrible simpson's porn on it
it wasn't that good it wasn't that good simpson's porn no it was shit that's all
remember and i remember being called by my mum and she was like what is this i was like oh yeah that just like
came on the screen and i'm pretty sure i got some like weird porn virus on that laptop as well
I never got porn viruses
I was smart
I think it was when
because you know mum was like
obsessed of watching that
that awful TV show
about no
that socialite
Paris Hilton
you remember that show
it was about like my
Keeping up with the Paris Hoseph
No it was something about friends
Like she's like choosing
The game show was about choosing
Oh that yeah
Yeah Paris Hilton's new best friend
or something. Yeah, yeah, that's it. And like, on
on the episode or something, there was
a joke about like
sex tape or something.
I was like, wait, what? Is that
real? And then in trying to
find the sex tape to see
this for myself,
I'm pretty sure that's how I got the porn
virus on, um,
mom's laptop. It was this weird thing
that like installed itself on
the laptop.
So whenever you turn it on,
there was this like loads of like porn shit
would just like load itself
when you first turned it on
did you fix it? Yeah
I spent like hours like trying to figure out how
to fix it and I managed it
Oh my God
Child Alex's like
I'm the porn program
I'm pretty sure one of them was like
Do you remember those
No
Do you remember those
like desktop strippers?
Yeah
I'm pretty sure part of it
built in was that
so you turn it up to
this fucking strippers
Like, you can come out and walk along the task, but you literally can't close it
unless you uninstill the program, so it's like...
Yeah, yeah.
And that was a panic moment.
They were infamous, like, you couldn't uninstall them.
They would not stop, non-stop.
Strz, like, and strip one, your fucking bare stop.
Something about that time of the internet is just so funny to me.
It was also much, like,
dirtier, seedier, yeah
Yeah
Like Pornhab now
It's pretty clean
It's just YouTube basically
You can't make your music for Pornhub now
Like it's so just
This is just what it is now
Yeah but back then
It was just one misclick
Boom, you fucking porn
But I imagine that's when it was so profitable
Like at peak profitability
Maybe
That was the start of the decline I reckon
Peak profit was
When it had to be
be like VHS tapes because then like there was nowhere else to get porn so well there's that whole
gag about it in the big Lobowski about how Jackie Treehorn's like the the amateur market is
taking our business and we got no time story and character anyone we got a more serious one
from G G-G-G-G-G-F-G-Fle-Fle.
Hope I said it, right.
Hey JAR, I know you answered a question related to this one in the last cast, but this one's kind of different.
I recently started high school, and I've been separated from all my friends, so now I've got to make some new ones.
I think I'm doing okay, but my main problem is that everyone at my new school already knows each other,
and they all have friend groups established.
There's a few people I'm friendly with, but it's hard to talk to them when they already have a bunch of friends in the class.
Have you guys ever been in a situation like this?
If so, do you have any tips?
I know this is really specific
and I don't blame you if you have nothing.
Game on, mingas.
I obviously have a...
I relate to the question big time.
Yeah.
Because that's just exactly what happened with me.
Because I didn't go to the sick form
where I went to secondary school.
So, and that's even weirder in a sense
than it being,
earlier years because sick form
everything is sort of
set in stone in a way
like everyone like everyone's figured out
where they belong
in some sense
so it was very strange to go
to not only a new school in a different
place
and there'd just be a bunch of strangers
who are already clicky
and have already
you know made their way or whatever
but
I don't really have a solution
is the problem basically don't do what I did which is not try at all yeah
you just got to do something cool you know to make people like it would be
mysterious yeah like maybe wear something interesting I don't know every day
you go you go to school in your backpack have like a steak in a doggy bag a
plate steak knife and a fall no I reckon it'd be more interesting to not have
cutlery and eat it with bare-handed
No, that's too, like, animalistic.
No, you, you go and sit and...
Well, this is why, obviously, it didn't work for me.
Because I was, I was being bare-handed, I must have freaks and people out.
Yeah, exactly.
No, you go and sit, you...
Like, every day you're wearing a suit.
You sit, knife and fork, eating like a gentleman.
People will just crowd around you.
Oh, everyone will be begging to be your friend.
And then you get to go, no.
I'm better than you
yeah the question was if you ever been in a situation like you
if you have any tips
yeah my main tip is to
is to not just remove yourself from it all
and I guess try
we've talked about questions like this
yeah but I pick this one just because
yeah that's exactly what I mean it's kind of like when you
get a new job I guess
like normally most people have been there a while and they all know each other
and then you suddenly turn up so it's a situation you kind of do have to get used to
yeah because it's not like that's experience it a few times yeah and each time you'll learn
more and more and become more yeah you figure out ways to sort of adapt and whatnot
yeah like don't rush anything and don't don't get down on yourself and not immediately
yeah it's only school at the end of the day
Like, you're, you're allowed to be shit at that age.
Like, you're allowed to make mistakes.
I'd say you're meant to be shit at that age.
Yeah.
As long as you're able to self-reflect and grow as a result of that kind of thing.
But yeah, we're pretty much at the end here, boys.
That all went quick.
Didn't it?
Hope you enjoyed.
Thanks for all the patrons and all that.
I'm going to do a big poo in the toilet and fart into my shreddies, if you don't mind.
I'm going to do a urinate.
I'm going to see you on the next episode
I'm going to be you on the next episode
I'm going to everybody
bye
too late you fucker
