Don't you know it? Don't you know it? Don't you know it? Don't you know it? There's something... If I want to sound kind of disturbing, I'll just say my T's a little bit too much. Yeah. Don't think about...

It. Yeah. Don't think about it. I feel like British people don't really say tea. That's the meme, isn't it? Bottle of water. Bottle of water. Can I get three bottles of water?

Yeah, you're right. Yeah. It does because, it's that what, they used to call it Queens English. I guess it's King's English now, huh? Yeah, I said that exact thing the other day. Really? I guess it is the King's English now. I can't speak in the King's English.

It's difficult, especially because, I don't know. I am not aware. You hear it in, like, Bristol quite a lot. Really? Yeah, because loads of, like, posh girls go to university there. Right. I heard a story about the daughter of someone who owns the pudding company goo. Mm-hmm.

um she during covid was like went to like somewhere warm and nice it was like that level of that level of rich like Kardashian kind of rich where it's like you know what I'm really feeling down because of the lockdown and you know what we just need a break from this we just need Cyprus then the Maldives then a short stay in Jamaica they're like in their mansion where like it echoes as they talk yeah this is just so confining. Let's go. I'm getting claustrophobic.

Yeah. I haven't been able to fly to Italy to get my favorite pizza in a month. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, good afternoon, morning, evening on night. Ladies and gents, I'm not going to broadcast. Number eight. Number eight.

Such a low number over here. I'm your host Alex drawn by Jim. Number eight. Paisley, that tail is danger. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. No. No. See, Paisley's cast presence is like the worst out of all the animals. Her optics are just, they just continue to be the worst. She had a really good spot before the camera started.

Yeah, yeah. She was like all there on the sofa, like posed. Then she goes and gets a ball and then threatens these two drinks that I have right here. One boiling hot and one freezing cold. Now she's throwing me off. What was I saying? I was introducing the episode. Yeah. Number eight.

Number eight. Number eight. Oh, that guy has a cameo in smiling friends. Which guy? Burger King Foot Lettuce. Really? Yeah, yeah. Oh my God.

There's all sorts of, like, YouTube people. That rocks. Yeah. Yeah, it's really funny. Because, of course, like, Mike from... Yeah, yeah. Media is in the first episode as well. I think Rich is in the new...

I haven't seen any of the new season yet, but... Yeah, he's in, I've seen a picture going around. The real plinket. Yeah, the true plinket. But before we get too deep into the show, let me shout out of that jar media Patreon. And the Patreon's over there, am I right? That's correct. That makes the audio version of the show possible.

You got a few different little perks over there. You got those names, those silly patron names, red. If you're a debiterer above in the first or second week of each month, the latest perk is this jar media group chat that's on, Patreon, uh, checked it earlier today. Um, still going well, still chill. I'm actually finding it really useful in the morning when I know we're going to do a cast in the evening.

Yeah, I just put out, I'm going to be talking about this, this and this. Is there something I should really bring up that would be funny or blah, blah, blah. And each week so far, there have been good suggestions. So it's like, oh yeah, that's a good idea to talk about that. We'll bring it up. Um, so check that out. And speaking of, I go straight into housekeeping. Okay. This one is from the JAR Media Group chat.

Gebby, who actually was featured in the last one. I've got it. Last time I let her do it, it was all picked up. And it was just annoying in the background. Oh, right. I was. Yeah. Sorry for the Paisley interlude. She's really on one right now. But yeah, Gabby left this in the Jarm Media Group chat. Um, he asked, you, you responded to him. This, I feel like Hermione right now from, you know, I have, I'm, I'm the owl right now.

Yeah. But they said, the famous Harry Potter quote, I'm the owl right now. Jim said, he asked how much I have when I said I love him with everything I have. Tell him I own a house, wife and a son. Is this enough for you, Jim? Or more, is he need more? It depends if they're a high value wife and son. Hmm.

Well, if we correctly assess the dating market and... Yeah. Yeah, just do some research on them F and F, you know, and then we'll know. Oh, God. Five and Freddy's. Gotta correct ourselves when we were talking about... We're talking about Gondor and Northern Rings when we're talking about some dokey question. We're trying to describe that castle, and we call it Gondor.

Which castle? I was... Ministeruth. is the city, which, like, you know, in the third movie with the guy of gone fire, that's, it is within Gondor, but that building or whatever is Ministeruth, like that city. Just to correct that, that was a puffin 9545, but it is gone, it is in Gondor. Technically, yeah, but if you were to say that's Gondor, you would, it would make more sense to say that's ministereth. it's it's kind of like the american thing of london being england you know i hear you yeah so i i'll allow it i'll let us i saw i saw a hilarious observation the other day i can't remember where i saw it

that says something like the ukays not a rich country it's just london is rich and everything else is attached to it um never ending nature 724 it says nice to hear alix mentioning justice i greatly recommend their 2011 album Audio Video Disco. It's a fantastic mix of dance and almost 1970s inspired disco slash rock music, very daft punk reminiscent, which would make sense considering justice and daft punk have worked closely together in the past. It could be something you're interested in, especially if you like Tamer Pilot. Um, awesome shout. There was some good recommendations for music actually in the last one, bringing that up. I've gone through a couple of their albums now and it's this is like cracked to me. It's like awesome stuff. Uh,

Love those sounds. Thanks for the recommendation. 1F1N says Jim shouldn't take being ID'd personally. I'll think it's because he's not seen as an adult. As a retail worker, my company tracks the amount of people I ask for ID. If you don't meet the expected amount, then they start asking questions or even temporarily restrict your ability to sell age-restricted items. So to be safe, I just ask anyone who looks youngish for ID. We're just covering our own backs.

Most of the time, we know you're probably of age. yeah um i wonder if that's because i've that makes a lot of sense i've done that job before and like had to id people and whatnot but it wasn't that strict they had just like a general hey if you're if you look 25 or under just i do them um even though it's 18 or for the movies or whatever yeah and i guess on the screen you can see like even if you're just buying a monster it will say 25 or under so like if someone glances at it and sees that I can I'm fine with being seen as 25 or under yeah you know um I wonder if that's an American thing that like really tracking like all that exact I it wouldn't surprise me

if it's here yeah but I do feel for the uh yeah retail workers in America because you're not allowed to sit down you have to stand up you have to stand up yeah if you like work in the equivalent of Tesco or whatever you have to stand up yeah very weird um basman 5591 says i don't know if he does it unconsciously or not but Alex keeps making these simpsons references and metaphors alluding to the show when he speaks and it all seems to fly over jamie's head he really must be the zoomer i'm gonna need examples i don't know what you're talking about yeah i feel like i i'm more likely to get a You've got a better Simpsons' memory, yeah.

People were trying to, we mentioned the, like, Frog-Lick episode. And people were like, no, it's not of Simpsons. This family guy did that. No. Maybe Family Guy did that, but Simpsons definitely did it. I looked up the clip on YouTube earlier. Like, I know for a fact. It's actually, yeah.

He definitely does it. He does it. It's hilarious. And then, like, it shows the Frog's perspective, and it, like, talks or something. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, because he's, like, getting all wasted on it. Is it when he goes to Africa as a, what do you call it? A missionary?

A missionary, yeah. That would make sense. It's a really weird episode because it like ends with him dying. Man, you do have a good, like I haven't thought about, maybe I should watch this episode on, it's on Disney Voss, isn't it? It ends with like him and Lisa falling into lava after the macaroni cheese salad that the guy just can't stop eating

because it's so delicious. And he's, he's falling into the lava and then like the episode just ends. It like stops and then they say at the end or something like everyone's fine. We just, like, wrote it and then we didn't know how to fix it, so then, like, it just ends. Great Overlord Chicken Master says, R-slash-Goon Caves has been banned. The chapter of jar history is finally over.

Yeah. I guess we'd been, like, checking in on how many subscribers it had every few years. And it was getting too, it was too much. It needed to be cold, I think. Like, it started off, like, a little bit fringe. it's just like something off about this we've got to just shut this down

and get rid oh yeah nip it um and finally for this segment oxter music 1080 hey boys long time first time here you both mentioned your love

for a full album experience and instrumental slash cinematic music pieces I just wanted to humbly say that I've made some instrumental albums myself and I thought you two might like the tunes to make this comment something more than just a shameless plug I wanted to ask a question that I think about a lot

Do you think there's anything inherently unique that instrumental music provides to the listener? Something that music was singing slash rap can't. It's pretty well known that music gets a bit bigger audience if there's a voice behind it, but I've always found that instrumental music has more of an emotional effect on me. I'm curious what the jarlings think too. Keep up the great work, Bear Bear Bear, and hello from Australia. So many Aussie listeners, I love it. Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzie. Ooy, Goon.

I feel like I like the instrumental. stuff more than you broadly yeah um but i listened to that jazz album you're saying about um really enjoyed it that's fine awesome um we're talking about this a week or two ago where i was trying to describe what it is and you were asking me like with atmosphere specifically yeah well that was my answer wasn't it was like i'm i'm really looking for an atmosphere and i'm i'm quite i'm quite easy to emotionally manipulate so if I if there's a certain song that can conjure like a feeling or whatever it can keep me feeling that certain way and it's really handy if like you're in a creative mood and do you want to stay in a certain headspace um if you just have like a certain

type of song playing or I think Matt Reeves talked about it when writing the Batman like you just had that Nirvana song on repeat because it just keeps you in that mood that yeah yeah yeah and like you it's conjuring imagery if you've got that kind of mind yeah um i was gonna i was gonna say that about instrumental over um songs with vocals like it it's more it's more free for you to put onto it what you want whereas i feel like a lot of music i listen to um like the stuff with vocals on it tends to be stuff that's quite personal to the artist yeah um that's kind of what i'm seeking like to to join another person in like a space that they've made um whereas i feel like instrumental stuff like you can take a song or a track from

like the oST of an action movie while listening to it close your eyes and you can like a imagine your own action scene or like if it's a sad piece like you can put your own context and it still kind of works yeah some instrumental stuff goes more like like flight of the bumblebees sounds exactly like what it is it's hard to like imagine anything other than the title but um even then yeah there's more like freedom for you to lose yourself in your own thoughts yeah as opposed to someone else mm-hmm and I don't I've been a fan of this kind of stuff for a long time kind of starting with movies and you know watching train spotting here in that Brian Eno song and then

going into Brian Eno's whole discography and nine-inch nails and yeah it scratches an itch that yeah no other type of music can for me it's not say I think it's better or anything but and listening to instrumental stuff right bro we got some we got some funny ones

we got some fucked up shit that I hope you haven't seen some of this I'm just gonna start with this one I'm just gonna go straight into this Ryan Reynolds you haven't seen this clip have you I doubt it

because obviously this new this new big Deadpool movies coming out there are things coming out in like a month or something as a recording um so obviously ryan reynolds is on the on the brain he's on the tour like advertising it or whatever you know depple has that whole self-deprecating marketing thing um they released like this video of ryan reynolds like reading the vo for like a i don't know like a trailer or something i think it's just like a gag um but what he says in it i think you'll find interest in right um Let me just start that.

Oh, his voice. Very excited. I want to know what you think of this. We're very excited to be joining you July 26. Many of you are very excited, but we should set the table correctly. This film is as paper thin as a sequel to Battlefield Earth. We're mostly going to beat each other senseless, make enemies with Disney, tell a few dick jokes, make a few jokes at my expense, make a lot of jokes at Hughes expense, and completely

sidesteped Marvel's mandated after-credit sequence, which if you haven't figured it out yet, is always just a commercial for another movie, which will invariably end with a commercial for another movie. So sit back, relax, let us lower your IQ and raise your heart rate while we travel to a vapid dreamland, a place where grown men and grown women walk around in tights and act like it's not a giant cultural cry for help. This is cinema. Thoughts? Because they've had like meta jabs at like, this script sucks, like type stuff before, but that's like, Jesus. Yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of like Drake getting ahead of the pedo allegations by, like, by saying it about himself. Yeah, I was kind of thing that. It's like, oh, that's interesting, because then anyone who brings up those as critiques, then it's like, oh, we've already addressed it. We've really thought about how shit this is already. It's like, what's the fuck? It's, it's, it's like, it's what I've said the whole time. Like, you're, you're just doing the thing. To say that you're doing the thing doesn't...

You're doing the thing while saying you're not doing the thing. Or like, by acknowledging that you're doing the thing... Doesn't mean that you're not doing the thing. But I guess what they're thinking, by acknowledging that we're doing the thing, then that signaling to the audience that we know that it sucks, which makes it good. But it makes it worse.

It makes it more annoying to me, yeah, because it's like, well, you could have just... It's like... So, yeah, so you're aware that it's bad, so you know what's... good and bad but you can't be bothered to make something good like what what i mean like i get this as a joke the movie the movie could be fire like like i i'm i'm not so anti ryan reynolds that like i wait to you see if i mean i i saw the one with like the dog and the cat which one

dog and the cat yeah when he plays like a murderer the voices the voices yeah like if if you can get through that movie and like Ryan Reynolds like you're messed up you're you have problems

yeah um are you but yeah like if the movie's good then this is fine but the movie's probably genuinely genuinely

going to be exactly what he's describing I mean yeah based of of the track record, I guess, so far. Yeah. I don't think they're bad, but they're just like, fine. Well, that's the thing. Everyone was like, man, this is really, like, mixing up the...

The super... The first one was that, to be fair. There was something kind of, like, spicy for that time. I don't know if it holds up. In terms of, like, the violence and stuff, I guess, but... Yeah, it's literally just that. It's that and, like, saying fuck every other word. That's what's...

I'd argue, like, dread is more. more of like a superhero movie that... No one saw Dread. No one cares about Dred. Let's not even go there because I'll start crying. I sometimes like Carl Urban's like mouth in that. The face he does is like perfect. Yeah, it's incredible.

If you compare it to like the comic. Yeah, for it like that, for an actor to act. Doesn't take off once. With that much of his face. Like he sold it. I'm just keeping it on. Yeah. So far.

Yeah, that is cool Yeah If I had to bet money on it I would say Deadpool 3 is going to suck Major Dong I'm predicting like Six out of 10 type deal But speaking of sucking Major Dong

The worst joke of all time has come out Okay This is kind of like Do you remember Biden shots This is worse than that This was I just got to show you it It's too

It's not the same artiste is it No but there's a certain thing Biden is involved I'm just gonna show you the clip And we'll go from there Skibbitty Biden Skibody Biden Skippy Biden

Joe Joe Joe Joe Joe Skiddy Skiddy Biden Hitler's language Trump Trump is using Hitler's language Hitler's language Trump is using Hitler's language Trump is using

Hitler's language Ghibities, Givitie Biden Oh my God That's like When I saw that yesterday It was like a vacuum Like

It made me a nihilist Like just for a second Like it's like Oh my God That's the void You looked into the void Yeah I've never seen something I'm sure it had

But something that's trying to be funny That is failing on a level that extreme, like that potent of a failure of a joke, with like the effort, quote unquote, that was put in. Well, it's the platform as well. Yeah, yeah.

It's what, is that Stephen Colbert? It's one of them. That's Stephen Colbert. Is it? Yeah. It's like the Lord of the Rings dork one. Or something. I don't know. I don't know, man. I only like Conan. He's the only one of those I like. He's gone.

And he's gone. He's dead. Yeah, he was killed. by Skibbitty Biden. Yeah. He was killed Skibbitty Biden. It's like brain rot. It's like how can we get this brain rot to boomers, you know? Zoomers, they understand it.

Like, we got to, we got to somehow introduce this to boomers through the talk show. As in Skibbitty Toilet. Yeah. Because like how else, like... Yeah, but what would... Someone who doesn't know what Skibbitty Toilet is and they see that, what does it mean? I assume like five minutes before he was talking about this scibbitty toilet thing is

he was explaining all the zoomers are this kind of thing and then maybe something about Trump and Biden and then combining it all into one ultimate punchline. Mm. Ultimate punchline. Yeah, I mean you can you can like hear the lack of laughter. Yeah, the video because like the video goes on and people are laughing and then it just keeps It went on for like 30 seconds. Why was it so long?

You know what? At least Biden Sharts was the song. You know? Yeah. It was like the same song. Yeah. This isn't even like

how the song goes. Yeah. Yeah, true. So it shows like a misunderstanding. Yeah, yeah. Not that that even matters really, but like, come on. Oh, I can't imagine watching those. Was Biden Sharts like based on, in fact?

Did Biden shart? American politics is so mad, I don't know. Does it matter if he sharted or not? It doesn't take any power away from that song, that's for damn sure. Yeah, it still hits pretty hard. Man, Stephen Colbert, what has become of you? Yeah, stick to the Lord of the Rings with dorkidjury. It's just...

It's usually we needed for the ministereth. Yeah, it's very uncomfortable and very... It's just like, it's low-hanging fruit. Like, comedy sucked when... Trump was president All that stuff was so lame And now it's coming back again of course

Because this election So I get used to it again We're gonna be getting more More skibbitty Bidens On the horizon I'm sure Well no it will flip back In the other direction

You know it'll be like all Trump jokes again I guess Yeah Well that was kind of in there as well But um Speaking of did you hear about this Trump movie? it got quite a good reaction it can with a winter soldier playing Trump I've seen some of the like images from it

and he really looks the part like I think it's set in the 80s right so he's like a younger yeah so Trump might sue them yeah because it was funded partially by someone who was connected to Trump but then he got all upset when he found out

that the film was kind of anti him or made him look bad so now he's like all upset oops boopsie daisy which in my opinion is awesome like if I was the filmmaker that's like a total win

that's hilarious um seeing when it was one on this little string of showing you brain rot I got one more to show you before we go to the mid break I'm hoping you haven't seen these but I'd be surprised

if you hadn't right he's like a ticotker youtube shorts guy or whatever and his whole thing he's like a british dude every one of his videos is the exact same thing but it's him like basically having a meltdown over like a theoretical concept um like for example police officer rushes to crime scene where his daughter has been found um and then he does like the acting oh okay So you haven't seen these. Oh, fuck, yet. I don't think so.

He's, like, kind of everywhere right now, because it's so late. This is just brain rot to the extreme. Look, I'll show you this one. I'm assuming this is for the funies, because this is funny. That's hilarious, yeah. But look, look, I've got four to show. you right okay this one is oh this one rocks actually it's not the best one though this one is father gives his own heart to sick son who needs heart transplant he's always doing the same

expression he's like his eyes are full of tears he's like screaming oh son I found you a new I just need to sell you a few things. Is this his acting real? Well, he's pretty one note if it is because he does the same thing at every video. This one's good. Astronaut's final message to wife and daughter. I love you both. Oh my God.

More than anything. Listen. I need you to listen. Listen, I don't have a lot of time, and care. Now remember, all the insurance and bank information is on the computer. I miss you, baby. I miss you, baby. Why are they so long?

He just, like, sits there for like five minutes, just doing that. Right, I got one more show you. and they're always like they're either anger or just sadness that's the two things this one is father loses it at son who killed his sister nobody admits anything that's done don't you swear at me oh shit ever raise your voice at me i amy your father you understand what i am do is worry and slave and for you all I kept back

is that bloody face on your face Why they sat like Why they sat like eating dinner? It's just It's brain It's so dumb It's like so stupid Um

But the comments are just like Is this real Bro literally took this right out of hereditary Me to the cashier for charging me 5P for a bag Can you do all where your nan takes the last bag of prawn cocktail crisps But he's got like 1.4 million followers on TikTok Um And then like

You go to the one where he's not doing it he's like he's like he's like he's like quiet this week because I am working on lots of new exciting content I'm going to be dropping on all of my social media platforms next week he's like found this bizarre oh that this is the most niche niche but it's like it's beyond it's it's kind of broken out of the niche though this is it this is what introduced me to him baby drowns in paddling pool left unattended by dad. Thoughts?

See, that one kind of seems like he's trying to make it, like, bait people into thinking it's real. It's real. Like the... Yeah, there we go. This was the actual one. It only takes 30 seconds for a child to drown. This has been everywhere, yeah. I've seen this one.

Yeah, yeah. He's made a career out of this. Yeah. Oh my, it's fucking, it's quite hardcore. It's got like a filter on it, so you got to like say, you sure you want to watch this? Really? Yeah, yeah. Because people might think it's real.

Well, I remember reading the comments on it and people like, is this real? And it's like, what, they set up all the camera angles for their child to drown. So he, like, tells his kid, like, pretend that you're dead and I'm going to sprint over and, like, hold your body while weeping. That's too, it's too, and like the face is doing it, it's like, he's conjuring this real pain. That he's harnessing that from somewhere. Dude. He could get an Oscar, like, for real. like that's that's what a dude has to do to get an Oscar right

just like get really angry just like scream yeah and maybe um if you played someone who's like disabled as well yeah I am Sam it yeah so I'm glad you're now introduced into that world dude I'm I'm getting kind of sick of uh the social media like thing people I only have their one thing yeah like I get it um

but how are you supposed to you're going to have your thing but it's like yeah there's got to be a bit of versatility with the thing you know when when like someone makes a funny joke because there's this one guy who's clearly really talented and like I don't mean this in a shady way but like all of his content ends with him playing the drums while playing a guitar

right what's shady about that but like it's like I've seen you do this now like if if you want to play different songs doing that cool but when i see his video come up and it's like a different video and it's yeah like the punchline is that he does this that's the thing yeah it's the punchline like yeah i showed you this one the other day of this guy um he's like reacting to someone eating like a dumpling or whatever and he like screams yeah um and because i liked that i kept getting other videos of his

Oh, so he does that at the end of every single video he does. That's what I mean by like thing people. Yeah. It's, um, they've, have you seen the square hole one? Square hole? Yeah, it's like this, this guy with a kid's toy. And it's one of those things where you like push. Square peg round hole.

Yeah, yeah. And he's like, where does the square peg? Oh, I think I have seen one of these. It's the square hole. And then, and then it's always the same hole no matter what shape it is. And it's this, this woman like, watching it and she's like losing her mind where she's like it's got to go into the triangle or it's a triangle and then you put it in the square she's like then i saw another video of hers

and she's like doing the same thing to a different thing and it's like i know what you're gonna do so there's it's not funny yeah you know it like to be funny there's got to be like an expectation that's at least slightly subverted yeah right i don't know if there's something about like the format of like this is just the result of reducing things down and down and down and you got to you got to get attention so quick so stuff like screaming or like yeah insane yeah someone doing that yeah pretending your child has died and in a swimming pool and you're being a police officer running to the crime scene there's something like it's morbidly funny to me I don't think in a way that's intended at all the the fact that it exists is so absurd uh so goofy

and the fact that he's like made a business out of it as well but it does it immediately grabs you when you see something extreme like that it's like yeah it's the the train I just I love that he's like he's done so many of them he's like oh shit what can I do next how can I cry and scream next

oh I know I just watched interstellar that's like yeah yeah goofy as hell man but I'm here for it I'm here to point him laugh and cry. Yeah, no shade I'm meant

to any of these people, you know? They're grinding. They're grinding. They're grinding. Just try harder is all I'm saying. Down straight. We'll see after these damn messages. Yeah. Dry media shirts. Now, or I'm going to hurt you.

Description below. Yeah. Pais. You're a freak. I'll grab that so you should not spill it. Welcome to the second half the cast where we head over to the JAR Media Suggest and throw it over on the subreddit where you can ask any question you feel like

just like Navium 1 did This one's for me Thoughts on the new Lego Baradur set Speaking of the Lord of the Rings The I Tower um the set looks awesome

just stupidly expensive big I'm just at like a point where I'm like I can't justify getting this unless I like sold three or four things I already have really yeah because it's just so much space

it's so expensive it's hard to justify at a certain point um you know yeah Lego um is is that where Lego was popular with kids from a generation and then they knew as those... In the last few years, they've really...

Homed in on the adult market. Yeah. Obviously, because I guess you can sell more expensive sets there. How much do you think Jang bricks did for Lego? Lots. Yeah, these YouTubers help a lot. And they have, like, they call them Lego Ambassadors, where if you're, if you're an official ambassador, they just send you, like, these sets for free, because they know it's free advertising. Yeah.

And there's such big companies, it doesn't really make a difference. So I'm torn on that. I'm still, I don't know. And also they do that damn thing where, uh, if you buy it, like, right as it comes out, it comes with a bonus, Lord of the Rings set of a ring set of a ring wraith on a one of them dragon things. I'm sorry, Lord the Rings fans. I can't remember. Oh, God. Yeah.

Nasgol? No, that's what... Yeah, it is Nasgol. No, they're the Nasgol. But then they ride... I don't know. Putting me on the spot. I wasn't thinking about it. But Dr. Spunk, 2019, so can Alex still do the argue voice that he used to do in his older videos? I haven't done it for a while, but I feel like it's turned into

what I say to Billy now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's... That's like comes from the same place, I feel like. Can you do the um? Yeah, that's... Yeah.

It's still in there. I don't do it too much nowadays, unless... I don't associate it with him, though. With argue. He's too conniving for that. Mm. You know? It fits Billy.

Yeah, it does fit Billy. I don't know what his voice would be. Something cheeky. It's something like... Bart Simpson. Yeah. Yeah, bar boys Yeah

Eat my choice Oh my god Um I wanted to Do this one from Averis Swindon phone Bear Bear dearest mingers A few months back When Alex was describing his trip to Toronto

He mentioned bumping into a cabbage fest This is quite shocking to me Because I live in Toronto and Cabbage Fest Or the Cabbage Town Festival As it sometimes called Is an event that I've attended nearly every year For as long as I can remember hearing something so familiar and personal to me

brought up on a podcast I've been listening to for years was really surreal I wanted to ask you guys if you guys have ever had a similar experience of seeing obscure little things that are deeply rooted in your life pop up in places that you never expected them to It's only weirdly internet stuff that comes to mind

We're like, there's a YouTube short going around right now To do with R slash FNAF Oh yeah It's even bigger now that video It's past like a million views Really? Yeah, yeah If you go into the comments

There are some jarlings in there Yeah I don't know if I have anything Like exactly what this guy's saying It would probably be all jar-related stuff I was watching a video on The Nostalgia Critics The Wall

video and then there was a clip of like it was a close up of you on the Jarre episode it was like I felt like Mike Wazowski you know getting like the sticker treatment

but it was like a bit from our video on like the nostalgia critic the wall video you know the like the best one defining what i can't i keep going to put it down there but i can't keep it there because it sounds safe so i've done it like five times like i try it and it nothing's changing but i keep attempting it

but definition of eternity yeah that's cool yeah um yeah i can't really think of anything specific to like and you really get that local experience yeah if i'm like abroad somewhere and then maybe they hear someone who's British or they reference something and say, oh, there's another British person here. Hooray. Yeah. That's about it, really.

Yeah. Or like, yeah, like, there was, I was watching some, I think it was like an LBC video where it was Karen from Chippenham, who was calling in or something. Right. That was kind of one of those. Oh, that's weird. I think, um, the office where they have a merger. And, like, the mergers from the office in Swindon.

That's right. Because the joke... Yeah, there's, like... The joke is that it's Swindon. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's, like, um... Our town was shouted out on Little Britain. Yeah.

Which is quite weird. Yeah. You don't really expect that kind of thing. It must be... It would be good or bad if you, like, live in New York and, like, every single thing that is made is, like, where you live. Yeah. Yeah, like 50% of all media ever. Maybe you get bored of it.

I don't know. I don't think you can get bored of the big apple. I just mean, like, stories that are set there. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's a lot of Apple to go around. There is a lot of Apple to go around. No.

No Working 2211 says, Jim talked about listening to Jazz in the most recent broadcast. Was wondering if he is listening. to Miles Davies. There's one song called Blue and Green, which I think is one of the greatest jazz songs ever. Have you listened to that album? I've listened to that one, yeah. The one you've, I used to, I've rinsed it, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, Miles Davies, um, Coltrain. That was on the, I don't know if you've seen any of this drama about the Apple top 100 albums list. Yeah. It was on there, I'm pretty sure. To Pimp a Butterfly, wasn't. It's not in the top.

100. For Drake was there. Wow. And Taylor Swift and Billy Elish. Oh my God. And bad bunny. That was quite an egregious one. Oh my God.

Mad City's on there, but I don't know. I would put, about to fly above it personally. Oh, okay. At least Kendrick was above Drake. He was in the top 10. Okay. But that's not the album I would pick personally. I, yeah, I understand why there.

It's kind of more, um, more listenable. I feel like more people would say it. I felt like he became a household name with that album. Yeah, yeah. And I feel like the average person would say that that album is better. So based off that, yeah, I get it. Um, and the scenes were on that topic. Low Salad 5385 says over the years you've discussed multiple music artists you enjoy,

but a good majority of them, the exception of James, favorite are male artists. I know you both like Little Sims and Alex's pass with Lady Gaga, but what other female artists do you particularly enjoy and recommend? Game on. I know it a few down, because I'm really bad at, like, pull in names, sort of. Some of these you probably relate to Little Dragon, game to mind. Yeah, that was the first one I was going to say.

Just a really awesome band, consistent. I don't know if you've listened to much Bjork, but I think Bjork rocks. One of the most unique voices ever. Like, it's really powerful. Yeah. I feel like she'll be a bit Marmighty, you know. I could understand that, yeah. And she's Icelandic, right?

Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Yeah, she's cool. You mentioned Little Sims. She's awesome. I know it down Does it count if it's like a mix Like Fleer with Mac

Yeah Is that count? Yeah That's a shout So I do love the The voices there Um Um

One I don't think you have heard Is Spelling With 3 ELs Um An album from a couple years ago The Turning Wheel It's very good

Um Another one St Vincent Is really good she did an album with David Byrne a few years ago called Love This Giant um really awesome um I guess the last one I shout is gold frap the album Felt Mountain I'm a big fan of uh Kanye sampled one of her songs for uh life of Pablo um you know the strings yeah yeah yeah that one yep um

Yeah, she rocks. Do you have any others to shout out? I probably should have told you to prep before, but... Yeah, I guess my sexism is showing. So, no, I got nothing. Yeah, fair. Monday in Turnover, 64, says, Hi, Jar Munger, has been watching Jar now since 2016,

and I've just finished my final. piece of work at uni. You lot have brought me far respect. Anyway, so I think it was, you lot have brought me far, then it's supposed to be comma, respect. So far, whatever. Anyway, so I've noticed I've been having a lot more existential dread recently. Have you boys gone through an age like this?

Many thanks. Bless your hearts. I remember the first existential crisis I had. It was like a really memorable moment for me. I was in primary school. It was like after, a school day um lying in bed and just going into like a thought loop of like i've mentioned before um like paralyzing self-awareness type stuff that was like the first time i had that thought

loop of like oh this experience is going to end right like trying to picture what that means or what that is or what that potentially feels like or all this complicated things like all coming over like a wave that is like paralyzing um honestly undoing that takes like a while um existential dread or whatever is quite a

existential is in the name it's not really something tangible it's something so uh beyond but it can be difficult to deal with um yeah I feel like it's

quite relatable in that period's specifically when it's like that no the the question the person asking the question leaving union

oh end of uni yeah because that's probably like the biggest change in your life is the end of there's a lot of change happening so of course it's going to feel like there's not really a

foundation or a rock it's kind of like everything's kind of up in the air in some one way yeah you don't know what's coming like you you know what's coming in the long run but you don't know what's coming like for you um the thing i've like a conclusion i've made with any scary change is like you kind of enter a new normal the new norm the new norm the new norm Like Norm of the normal

Yeah, norm You It's like the idea Of something It's sometimes scarier than actually Yeah Once you're forced to actually do it And then you're in it

It's It's not that much time Until that just becomes The new standard And it's And I, yeah I guess a way of putting it for me is um throughout my life there have been points where i like have been leaning way more to like

being stuck in the past and other times where i'm scared for the future so i'm stuck in the future where the ideal is you want to be present that's the idea of the like a dog thing where it's fine to think about the past i guess as long as you have some control over that yeah learn from the past yeah yeah of course um and you want to have like hope i guess or you don't want to think about the future and that be something that gives you existential dread um which i think i feel like a lot of people especially like zoomers or whatever um they're kind of trapped into that with like i was listening to a podcast and there were ads for like if you need help with uh eco anxiety here are resources um wow so that's that's definitely a type of existential dread um but i don't know they there's only so much you can

really like let this stuff destroy you because you only have so much control at the end of it and it's kind of what we talk about a fair amount I guess um yeah you got to come to your own conclusions mm-hmm and yeah just trying to be present is what I would say I want to be present baby like that really nice kung fu panda quote they call it the present because it's a gift no nice one of igui um Tifling Afria writes in yet a gain Bello jar entomologist jarling

Emerging from the lair Jamie asked a really cool question on this week's cast De Ants have pause This got me thinking I'm pretty sure I asked that, didn't I? Maybe you did. Don't take credit Doesn't matter Do ants have paws? Well, yes and no

Pauses in P-O-U-R-S Not P-O-R-E-S Like her skin Oh P-O, okay Sorry, yeah, yeah, not like, um... That's my, um, bad spelling showing, not, not P-A-W-S. Yeah, no, I understand, um...

Yeah, I'm just explaining for those who might... Mm-hmm, I'm sure there's at least one other person out there who's like... Well, when I first heard it, I was like, well, no, they don't have, like, puppy pads. Okay, uh, the ants have pores, well, yes and no. Human pores serve to help us transport liquids primarily out of the body in methods such as sweating, however. Ants don't sweat. Like other anthropods, ants can't self-regulate their body temperature, although they can lose water through their skin from osmosis. They prevent this by doing complicated stuff in their body so they don't dry out.

Parentheses, crunchy and yummy? But this doesn't really answer the question. Do ants have pores like humans? No. But they do have little holes in their... But do they have little holes in their exoskeleton? Yes! What many people don't know is that ants, and all other insects, except for some aquatic exceptions.

Breathe using trachea. These are essentially a series of very long tubes that carry oxygen. Well, they put in parentheses pronounced... It does look like trachea, but they've like put, say it, tracheae. Trachy. Trachy. Okay. Sorry, um...

These are essentially a series of very long tubes that carry oxygen throughout the body to every single cell. These tubes are everywhere and range from very thick to super thin and tiny. There are several small holes on the outside of the insect where these trache can let oxygen flow into the many tracheal tubes. These holes in the exoskeleton that let oxygen in are called spiracles. Jamie, would you put marbles in Alex's trache if he had them? Hashtag awesome, hashtag blue poop hashtag yay hashtag harness

marbles I guess they're thinking like sized up if we instead of having pause we had trachy Would they be that big They said there's a mixture of sizes

Wow Yeah That makes me feel weird Like have you ever seen It's like a I don't know if it's real or whatever But like on Google images You can see that weird

It looks like Is it that acute fear Of like Disproportionate holes Yeah it's like picture of skin with like holes in it or something um yeah um i think resident evil seven uses that with the bug woman she's got all like yeah yeah kind of like hive holes yeah yeah it's that um and that does make me feel weird bugs are just weird man yeah bugs are pretty

freaky like i'm glad they're so small because you can't like make out their features. Because their features are terrifying. Well, like yesterday, I was putting something in the compost, right? And I know this isn't an insect, but when I went to close the lid, there was a worm on the

rim of the compost. I moved out of the way, so I didn't sever it when I closed the lid. And I was just kind of watching it for a second. It was like trying to figure out the new environment it was in, like wiggling on the plastic compost bin. I found the edge.

And then started, like, climbing down using, like, notches and, I don't know, it was just crazy. It was, like, stretching, like, really, uh... They're quite... What's the word? Ambidextrous. Yeah, they can morph and wriggle and... And they're, like, yeah, it could be, like, tiny, and then it can, like, stretch to be, like, kind of... Yeah.

And an amazing organism. But just, like, wow. Yeah, I was looking at a worm. today but it was like a weird one weird one yeah it had like a really red end and like it was different colors it just caught my like I was walking past it but then I was like staring at it mm-hmm it didn't look every now and again I'll do that like I'll see a see a bug on a leaf and be like what is that speaking of have you noticed outside your house the amount of spittle bugs. Yeah.

It's crazy. They're all over your plunders. All over the lavender, yeah. Yeah, they're obsessed with it. Them, them atheids, them spilt bugs. Yeah. They're past, they right. I reckon we should do one more here, bro, so you've got a hard out on this day.

Yeah, yeah. From Toad Bastard, 420. All you can eat Chinese, or all you can eat indian can be buffet style or dishes made direct chinese really my gut's telling me indian i say chinese because i feel like do you got more variety i don't know no i think i can eat more chinese and like the chinese food we have here is like fine just being like i I guess Indian feeders as well.

Indian's got like, I don't know. If we're talking about like in the UK, our versions or whatever. Yeah. I feel like currys are more reliable than Chinese. Chinese is like more kind of greasy. Yeah. I just like the, I feel like the foundation of the rice, all these Chinese, Indian dishes with turmeric,

uh, garlic onion. Peshwari nans. You got barji. you got you know i just get unlimited peshwari's yeah i go with popadons yeah i think indian wins man you've converted me yeah if it was maybe like japanese food like sushi yeah because i was picturing the that we can eat chinese that we used to go to mm that was fusion though that was all sorts yeah that had like Thai and yeah well yeah Thai would maybe be a bit more difficult for me because yeah Thai food

Rocks. Thai food hits Like nothing else. And you've got a nice variety. But in the question, I'm gonna go Indian. Yeah. For this question, I'm going to go Indian. Hell yeah.

Bloody fuck. Do your Indian accent to round out the episode. Let's go. Shall I do the outro Zapu from The Simpsons? Yeah. Do you think that would be a good idea? Yeah. Just put a P&G of a poo over it and then it makes it okay.

Who needs the quickie mart Thank you, come again You're going to have to beat that I'm staying Yeah Yeah
