Starting point is 00:00:00 The inertia. Chaos control. inertia control. What is inertia? Anurias is like movement. It's like, you know, boulder rolling down the hill. It's got in a... Shut up. You don't know shit.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Shut up. Hey, Siri. Hmm? What's inertia? Anerushes the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. Do you want me to keep reading? No, that's good, babe. Cheers.

Starting point is 00:01:42 James's dad Craig Smartmore The biggest Maltisa lover The Goon Jordan and Pierce Piers I wish your name was Piers I don't I really don't
Starting point is 00:01:56 Before we talk too much about Piers though let's shout up the patrons over at patreon dot com for making the audio versions of this show possible and their names read out in the first week of the month that's true that's true and even a the odd early video
Starting point is 00:02:11 we've got loads in the pipeline at the moment they're always coming out one week early on Patreon so make sure to watch them if you are Patreon the last one was what the it was the jarred tour of this very room yeah yeah all the secrets all the questions you have are answered in that video
Starting point is 00:02:27 It was a unbelievably good episode I think it's the best video we've ever filmed It's highly likely It's ready guys It's ready guys It's ready guys What's ready Alex I suppose we've got some cleaning up
Starting point is 00:02:42 We should probably do before we move into the new freshies Yeah I've actually been debating Even bringing this up a little bit If we just jump into housekeeping And dress some of the stuff from last episode um last episode we talked a little bit about the um the halo infinite the flight or whatever technical test the technical thingy it was we'd only had a couple evenings of it at that time um literally one right i think it was yeah i can't remember one or two um so it was sort of our initial thoughts whatever i was um going through the comments and saw some feedback in regards to my kind of slant my hyper fucking downery negative slant,
Starting point is 00:03:29 which I was very aware of, like, coming in and out of that conversation and I re-listened to it just to double-check, let's make sure I wasn't being, like, unreasonable here. And I get it, people are hyped about the game, whatever. But, you know, I stand by what I said in last episode. I feel like I have the right to say that. I feel like I was real screwed by Halo 5,
Starting point is 00:03:52 and I feel like they've got to prove themselves a little bit more for me to suddenly be. like, oh yeah, they've done it, guys. Yeah, yeah, I mean, you're entitled to your beliefs in that. Yeah, and as far as some of the comments go, there's one here from Nacria. Typical JAR opinion about Halo. Don't like it, have no hope.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Proceeds to talk about UI and a little bit of redundant stuff instead of actually explaining what's good slash bad about the gameplay in their eyes. I'm mostly agreeing with what you guys are saying, but goddamn I kind of expected more gameplay talk. Well, that's on you, expecting anything at all. True.
Starting point is 00:04:30 But I remember talking a little bit about gameplay. Like, I think it's a dense topic, I guess. Well, yeah. And of course, the things that are going to be standing out most in my mind are the things that are highlighted the most. I guess that means, I don't know, it was okay with the gameplay? No, the only problem with the gameplay is sprinting that doesn't need to be in the game.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It has basically no... Yeah, we don't need to get into it deep. No, I was just like, I wanted to read it. dress it at least. Yeah. Yeah, the gameplay sucks as well. There's that covered for you. I guess it's sort of a philosophical thing
Starting point is 00:05:05 where I'm just sick of seeing gamers for so long, like the same cycle. It's like, yeah, it's good you'll get heading in the right direction again, but please, can we like just be reasonable about what we're actually getting around? It's what I referred to as just destiny players because it was the first game where it was very noticeable
Starting point is 00:05:23 that that's what the user base was doing. Yeah, when you're jaded, When you're three for three jaded like I am, my approach is the smartest just in terms of if it is a surprise, and they do somehow bring it together. I'll be honest, I'll tell you if I feel that way. Yeah. We just got to get there first as all. Let's do this one from a flute ninja who can just get us warping off.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Looking forward to the epic discussion of the epic Venom 2, let there be carnage trailer. next week. So I think we can kind of shift into topics here. Yeah. Man, so the Venom 2 has a new one. It's already got, what, 20 plus million views? I think it was on 22 million when... It'll be bigger than that, by the time this goes up.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah, so this is, what, the first full trailer, the first proper trailer for Venom 2? It was one a few months ago. You say either, me, see, neither. Yeah. trailer the one that was like beautiful wait this might actually so they've made it a musical
Starting point is 00:06:33 and the music is actually like double down on the comedy yeah double down on the comedy double down on the soundtrack probably going to have multiple Eminem songs this time so I was excited this new trailer nah I mean what is there to even say
Starting point is 00:06:49 yeah it's just another one it's that Hollywood has done it again Venom's done it again um i think actually looks like it's delivering what the only thing it could what pure shit yeah i i i i'm i'll fully admit this i've never understood the venom carnage like obsession like this just always existed like it's always been there that obsession for
Starting point is 00:07:18 those characters um i guess i can understand the fun in it when it's like in the spider man universe and stuff i just don't get it on it on its own and now like venom and um carnage the serial killer carnage is coming in um played by woody harrison with some great lines so what's that line he whips out um oh it's this hilarious he's like um we're not the same you and i type shit don't you remember he says everything you have i have or something and then he's sucks his thumb and he bites it yeah he sucks the venom out of his thumb
Starting point is 00:08:01 yeah he's clearly like a biter and that's how he gets his venom power off of the real venom and becomes a serial killer yeah because I guess he was already a serial killer but now he's a serial killer with the red venom I have absolutely no interest in this movie
Starting point is 00:08:18 did you even see the first one? No I've got no emotional or just attachment or interest in this movie and I probably won't see it well I'm the opposite of you on this one which is the first movie I'm actually hyped to go see I actually
Starting point is 00:08:37 I want to see it I want to see purely because the first one is actually so bad yeah it's an atrocious the big thing for me is the um is that running time I'm sick of these two hour 20 minute like movies that don't deserve it um yeah and i don't need to see that from venom i don't need i could do with like a yeah honestly an hour and ten minute of venom sequel it's not gonna be yeah that's what i want from
Starting point is 00:09:07 it but yeah it's like going to be an awesome mess of like to do all of it just look like it was on um like a green screen with like these ridiculous like there's like a prison set with like this endless corridor of like prisons and stuff and then carnage breaking out I guess that's like what people want to see. It's carnage breaking out of jail and killing people and like, um, doing kind of sexual stuff, like pinning people against the wall and shoving his tentacles down their throats, that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah, that's true. I guess that's part of the appeal. It came out of his mouth and went down. Yeah, it was his tongue. Yeah, because there was that, that scene where, uh, in the first one, where the girl kisses venom. Oh, that's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Or kisses Eddie Brock and then venom goes from her on to Eddie Brock. That's right, yeah, so it's like him. So it's like Venom kissing Eddie Brock? Yeah, yeah, it's quite weird. Hopefully they explore that in the sequel. There's a lot of potential there. Just a lot of potential all around, I think, for something.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yeah. I don't know if it's like a movie. So it's weird Andy Circus is directing it. What? Venom 2? Yeah. Is he? Unless for some reason my details are wrong on that.
Starting point is 00:10:19 I'm pretty sure he's directing it. Which is just like, what? Why? It might be as good as a Mowgli. Let me double check that. Uh, yeah, there it is. Venom let there be carnage.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Fuck, I forgot about Mowgli. Legend of the Jungle. That's one hell of a film. Yeah. Any final words on Venom? Absolutely none. The music choice? One is the venomous number.
Starting point is 00:10:51 One is the most number like venom. No. Two is a carnage one. No, because I remember when the trailer for the first one dropped, I was like, oh, carnage is in this. Yeah, that's right. No, he's actually a rampart or whatever. Or was it Rampage? Yeah, it was Rampage.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Played by a really good actor. It's a state man. Yeah, I can't believe all these actors keep getting sucked into this pure shit. it's because of money they're getting paid a lot to do it so why wouldn't they well as jim and i like we watched suicide squad the new one the james gun one and i was like joking around like this this group of like actors that are in like the mc u i know the suicide squad's not in the mccu but has a lot of actors that are like in the mccc because he's obviously friends with them connected to them whatever um it is like this weird group now of like that are like separate it's like an in
Starting point is 00:11:54 group where it's like you got Itoko Atiti's like the whole cast of the NCU, a bunch of random directors thrown in there. It's like this group that you become a part of. It's like the new thing of, you make it in Hollywood, you have to get into Marvel. Yeah, you make like
Starting point is 00:12:10 the trendy indie film that everyone likes, then Marvel will snatch you up and then you make Marvel movies. Yeah, or DC movies. Like once you're at that echelon, you just get put in all the big shit you get put in jungle run
Starting point is 00:12:25 you get put in a mouse trap the jungle run yeah did you want to mention that did you want to throw that out there suicide squad yeah I feel like over the years we've thrown a lot shade at the suicide squad at the original
Starting point is 00:12:43 yeah was it 2016 the last time we saw that well I definitely never watched it again this this movie made it seem like it should have been so easy to make a suicide squad movie like it was especially if the main angle is
Starting point is 00:13:02 we want this to be funny we want comedy out of this yeah yeah we want like a fun superhero action film and this film just delivers on like every level yeah it's basically the inverse of the 2016 movie yeah i think i made a joke when i made a video on the original movie I was like, if you just made the inverse of every creative decision, then you'd have a good movie on your hands. And it's like, it's basically what happens.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, and thinking about it now, I'm wondering if James Gunn's approach was to make it so similar to the original one, but then subverting you at every chance to make it way funnier. Yeah, yeah, way funnier. Because there's certain things you're like expecting. from the premise. Yeah. Yeah, because I kept seeing in the trailer, like Idris Elber,
Starting point is 00:13:58 he walks into a, like the meeting part in a prison and talks to his daughter. And I was just expecting some, like... It was almost like they were advertising it to look like that movie from 2016. Yeah. Or like a continuation of it,
Starting point is 00:14:11 so, because it was a big success. So I was expecting some schlocky bullshit just like in Justice League, just like in the original suicide squad with Will Smith. but no the way they did everything it was just like great i thought i thought the movie was really fun yeah just like random obscure characters that like you're like that can't be real and then you look up and this yeah no that that was a fun thing was like looking up all the the really
Starting point is 00:14:38 stupid characters on my phone um and just seeing like yeah dc yeah that's one dc would just do anything about then well they'll do anything now yeah they're desperate Yeah, it's really weird because I've been like rewatching some of the 2020 Supero movies and I rewatch the Harley Quinn movie like Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn's in this new suicide squad and it's like she's not even in it that much in this new one but she's characterised and fleshed out so much more than in anything that she's been in and it's just that it's the James Gunn Touch like a lot of people focus on the comedy aspect but he likes the like humanity of characters and explore the gentle side of it
Starting point is 00:15:19 which like for just idiotic dumb characters it does like catch you off guard yeah totally in that guidance of the galaxy way it's like all the movies he's made up into this point like coming together and to wunks it's got like the sort of zombie genre shit from slither
Starting point is 00:15:36 makes its way in there the guardians of the galaxy team shit and the big like dumb cg bullshit which is actually fine in the movie like the it's all like thoughtful and well-directed and it's actually like creative and you can tell it's James voice James Gunn's like voice coming through
Starting point is 00:15:52 um he clearly like was given creative control and it's like yeah that's why you do that because then you actually get like good movies and it's like a standout superhero movie the main drawback of the movie is that DC have messed up so bad mm-hmm like just just through association with Harley Quinn being in birds of prey being in suicide squad it does make you think like wait is this a sequel to birds of prey
Starting point is 00:16:22 like is yeah it is confusing yeah you can't help but think of that stuff because like the MCU exists yeah but luckily you can with this one unlike a lot of the Marvel movies it is just completely standalone you don't need any of the other DC stuff to enjoy it really so and I even enjoyed John Cena in the film
Starting point is 00:16:41 yeah I got to say man I threw a lot of show I throw a lot of shade at John Cena and I don't really like seeing him in movies but like the way he's written and his execution of that character is genuinely really good he was making me laugh maybe one of the most yeah I think some of the funniest lines
Starting point is 00:16:59 I think he is the funniest character so I shouldn't have underestimated James Gunn because he did the same thing with Batista yeah that's true that's exactly same thing and I will say for anyone that's like familiar with my opinions this will surprise no one, but this film was about in Guardians of the Galaxy One, like, easily to me.
Starting point is 00:17:19 It's a more consistent, because I feel as though James Gum would have been forced to do the Marvel Schlock stuff with Guardians of the Galaxy One. I think that Guardians of the Galaxy one falls apart for me, like in the last third. Yeah, I guess I just, I appreciate the context of when that movie came out and what it meant at the time. Like, that was an era where there was no Star Wars there was it was new for Marvel even like these characters that like no one knew or care about or cared about and he was
Starting point is 00:17:50 able to turn that into something and with the whole like aesthetic with that soundtrack and the emotional core of it is a bit stronger than suicide squad to me but the humour is probably overall better in um in the suicide squad yeah yeah I think action wise as well
Starting point is 00:18:06 I think suicide squad is better uh yeah it's close actually and I just like how stupid it is as well that because DC have just said fuck it the James Gunner as a director could be like all right I'm doing the starfish villain there's a big starfish yeah it walks around whatever it's it's just really stupid and it works with his style I think as opposed to the guy with the hammer that wants to use the stone yeah yeah or like the villain from the original suicide squad or anything like that yeah yeah interesting kind of structure too i liked the timeline and the way it was
Starting point is 00:18:51 wrapping it on itself and yeah it was cool it was nice to see like a big dumb superior movie that wasn't quite as dumb and had a bit more and their overall like commentary of it i quite enjoyed as well that it was like yeah able to sneak that in yeah yeah i enjoyed it um unlike a John Sino movie we all saw James we mentioned this briefly on the last episode is how the last episode ended but
Starting point is 00:19:20 the Fast and Furious Nine The other John Sina colossal This is probably why John Sino is in my mind It's like man I just don't want to see him in movies Yeah Because he's like The main antagonist
Starting point is 00:19:37 For Fast 9 antagonist, protagonist type deal. Typical Fast and Furious, basically. Well, as a car fan, a Fast and Furious fan, what was your take on now? The 9th entry. Terrible. It's not a good movie. It's not even interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's just G.I. Joe. We said that when we're watching it. It was just G. Yeah, it's straight at the point. Yeah, it is G. It is probably a better G. Joe than those G. G.I. Joe movies are.
Starting point is 00:20:06 That's maybe the one thing I'll give it. Wasn't the rock in one of those? Yeah, he was actually. There you go. Yeah, that movie sucked balls. Yeah, it's terrible. It was only redeemed by about 1% by just Jason Stathen's appearance at the end credits scene. Because he kind of carried the previous, like, um...
Starting point is 00:20:27 Jason Statham is one of the stant. He fits, he just, like, fits the Fast and Furious tone so well. Whereas certain characters and actors just, like, pull me out of it every time. Yeah. John Cena in that movie for me. Honestly, I think Dom. I think Dom needs to go. I find Dom at this point
Starting point is 00:20:47 to be like the cringiest like self-insert like fan fiction character. There's like a moment in the movie where he's like in this underground like base thing and like 500 people are like jumping on him. He's like fighting them single handedly like his Captain American.
Starting point is 00:21:05 He grabs these giant chains and break he he destroys the concrete ceiling above him by just pulling it down and then he tumbles into the water below yeah but what how do you feel about this whole thing that comes up when uh fast and furious arises and you start like you know picking it apart making fun of it or whatever and then the it starts coming out like oh you're just like it's supposed to be like bad and dumb and like they know it's like shit or whatever i don't think they do yeah i don't think about it to you know this kind of stuff but you just got to enjoy
Starting point is 00:21:40 the car like swinging off a bridge no I think it's serious it's serious it's serious action movie I don't think it's the tone the tone is fucked yeah the tone's messed up but you know what if it was just like non-stop car attaches to bridge and fucking swings across a thing and then and suddenly
Starting point is 00:21:58 there's a magnetic car really rebels a car through a thing like and it's just that just non-stop but it's not it's family there's like 40 minutes sections where there's like maybe a bit of a fist fight but it's just like dialogue and dialogue like like five or six Fast and Furious movies all have that exact same problem where they were like put like a really stupid fun action scene like towards the beginning somewhere and then just in the middle there's this chunk where like what even happens like yeah it's
Starting point is 00:22:26 meant to be like the heart of the film yeah yeah where you're developing the characters we are learning things about them yeah but they always instead just do like oh uh there's like a new McGuffin that's been moved somewhere or like some some hackers like hack something and like there's a roadblock now so now you've got to do the next thing and it's never actually about like the characters or anything so like what is it about if it is about the dumb action like there's not enough of it and it's like and it's not good and it's not rooted in anything anything like action for action's sake at a certain point is like yeah it's funny and I was like laughing a lot when that car was swinging off the bridge or whatever
Starting point is 00:23:06 because it's just like, you're laughing at it. I'm laughing at it because I just find it so absurd. And like five years ago when people were making jokes about like, they'll be in space soon enough. And that's the inspiration they took from in terms of like, where are we going to take it next?
Starting point is 00:23:23 Oh, let's just like, what do the Redditors want? Let's go to space. It's like there's so far, there's no creativity. I thought the whole space part is just fucking dumb. And I kind of like that it's dumb. They fit a fucking rougher. engine to a car, then launch the car into space and crash it for a fucking satellite. That's dumb.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Yeah. I was saying with that Venom thing where it's like, why he doesn't need to be so long? Yeah. Yeah. 90 minutes. All you need for on that type of movie. And I reckon you could probably just take the movie as it is now. Brutely, just chop at that movie.
Starting point is 00:24:00 That whole middle section. It still makes sense. But that whole bit we were talking about where Vin Diesel just destroys this bunker. with like his little finger Mm-hmm Get into that whole part What was the purpose of that bit Well it is so void of like any
Starting point is 00:24:15 core Like story or anything That we're at a point now where And it's another recurring joke In the Fast and Furious universe Where like characters die Like a few movies ago But then a few movies later
Starting point is 00:24:26 When they need them again Or they want like fan service with them They'll be like Actually that death scene If you just show it from a different angle They're fine And then they like That whole
Starting point is 00:24:35 Because Han died in Tokyo Drift Be like specific with this Because if someone has never seen Fast and Furious This shit right here is like the most confusing thing So go through the timeline of what they do Leading up to Fast 9 with this character No the most confusing part is that Tokyo Drift Was released
Starting point is 00:24:54 Before all of the others It was released as the third in the franchise right Because it was trying to go a new direction Tokyo Drift Yeah And it's chronologically it happens after the majority of them yeah it happens after six before seven yeah and the motivation in seven is that jason statham killed han in tokyo drift which was a recon
Starting point is 00:25:22 to begin with because that was meant to be just an accident yeah car crash he was drifting around a blind corner crash happened typical kind of car stuff but no jason stephen was in the car and assassinated Han the car blew up within it yes so then that's the start of seven then in nine
Starting point is 00:25:44 it turns out that the CIA the special CIA operative hired Han to get this super weapon to hack everything and then to fake his death he bamboozled Jason
Starting point is 00:26:00 Statham who had thought he had killed Han But it was all a camera trickery And Han is still alive And he's been hiding in Japan this entire time And he gave On the day he died in that crash
Starting point is 00:26:15 He sent a postcard Of Mexico To Dom in America And they find Han By they're having a drink Like at a bar In Tokyo In Tokyo
Starting point is 00:26:27 And they look up at a window And there's a Mexican flag in the window That's how they find him And then they go into the building and get attacked and then Han is just there Han is there with a sniper rifle and he protects them
Starting point is 00:26:41 from the attackers yeah this is the level of writing that they've stooped to I find the every farce and fierce including this one like since Paul Walker's death they should just they should have cut the series off at that moment
Starting point is 00:26:58 the movie ended with kind of it feels so final for the finality of that they both drive their set at ways that that that feels so white because it's like you know he's actually passed you know why carry the series that is so integral to him everyone knows the movies because of him and then they bring they make the not the next one and at the end of the movie they tease him coming back because they have his car his car's pulling into the drive and they've already said that they need to bring in his brother for the next movie to film scenes about paul walker as in
Starting point is 00:27:32 his character in the movie, that's so fucking distasteful. Yeah, it's incredibly disrespectful. It's like, that's Paul Walker series. Every car guy knows Paul Walker. Every car guy respects Paul Walker because it was fast and furious. They should have fucking ended the series when, the last one. Yeah, especially when, like, going back to, like, the action. For some reason, the gimmick for this one is all based around, like, magnets.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Yeah, I don't even remember why. They just sort of come across a magnet. magnetized van. It's like the technology gimmick. Yeah, it makes no sense. Even though, um, and then it like, there's an action scene towards the end where there are these like magnetic cars like flying into a truck or whatever. And it's just like the basic same imagery of the stuff from Fast and Furious 8 with these like
Starting point is 00:28:21 AI cars like all just driving themselves. It's completely repurposed from Fast and Fus 8. Yeah, the whole final act is like the same as the one in eight where there's like drones flying around or some shit or no there's like a hacker machine or some shit that's like I can't remember
Starting point is 00:28:40 no it's generally just mind numbing it's a it's a fucking awful movie and I don't because I know we've got our series going when we talk about car movies from the car car point of view I don't want to do any of the later fast and viewers movies
Starting point is 00:28:55 because they're at least there was a race at least there was a race in it in nine at the beginning yeah there was a we didn't even talk about how it's a flashback to Dom's history and his... I will say, though, it is better than eight. Yeah, I think my lowest...
Starting point is 00:29:12 I think eight is unbearably boring. Yes, which is the worst thing it can be. And seven is my peak in terms of that stupid, fussing through us that I'm after. But seven does peak after the first, like... Yeah, they do the exact thing we're saying about it. We're just that middle chunk is just like unbearable. so boring. That's the one with
Starting point is 00:29:33 the walk driving an ambulance into a fucking predator drone off a bridge and then pulling them... Yeah, after he's broken his cast with his enormous biceps. Yes, where they're driving the cars through the buildings, you know, they go through two buildings.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah. That is easily the best one. And it's... But only because of Jason Staple. Him being in it does... Yeah. And it... You know, I think Paul Walker was actually just like, vital to the franchise. Yeah, no, he was.
Starting point is 00:30:06 He was in one, he was in two, and four onwards. He is just fast and furious. He added like a perfect, right, opposite to Vin Diesel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, he did. Like, you can complain about the work,
Starting point is 00:30:22 his acting, because he's probably not the best actor, but he has actual love for cars. So you can tell that in the movies, because he's always the one talking about cars and fiddling with cars. it harners back to the original with the whole car theme but now they're not car movies
Starting point is 00:30:37 they're not car movies at all they now action movies their science fiction action movies is what they actually are their paychecks for the actors and crew yeah that extra layer of after watching the Tyrese like his house breakdown his mansion breakdown just every time he was on screen
Starting point is 00:30:55 just thinking about those marble curtains so they also almost push the superhero narrative. They joked about the superhero. True, yeah, yeah, you're right, yeah. They like start getting meta with it. Like, there's a whole bit where Therese almost like
Starting point is 00:31:12 looks into the camera and it's like, are we just too lucky to be getting away with all this? Yeah. Yeah, and that bit annoyed me because he's right. Mm-hmm. And like, they laugh at him, like, we should be laughing at him as well. And it's like, no, he's kind of got it. They could have actually
Starting point is 00:31:27 made... I thought they were actually, like, finally leaning into it and we're going to be like, It's actually just part of, like, the law that they're just, like, all stupidly lucky or whatever, or some dumb thing. No, they could do something just nutty with it. Like, they might as well. They just drove a car into space in this one. Why don't they go, like, actually insane? But actually, creative insane, not just, like, what they do.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Just, like, sci-fi. No, what needs to happen? What needs to happen? James Gunn used to direct it. Yeah. Then it might be good. He could probably make it work, to be honest. It would be a waste
Starting point is 00:32:02 Yeah, it would be a waste Yeah But hopefully in a future of video We can talk more about Fast and Furious Did you guys have any other topics to throw out there That isn't the dead bumblebee in that Well I was just about to ask if that was like a thing for right now Because I'm getting antsy
Starting point is 00:32:23 I want to know what's going on with that bumblebee With the bumble Yeah Why is it there? Why is it there? why is it there um it's actually kind of a fucked up title is this the one you say it's a story of loss and regret yeah yeah the poor bumble um i saw that in your house like four days ago
Starting point is 00:32:50 yeah because the event happened four days ago really yeah so so you heard it too the the bumblebee savior yeah why we were on our very regular journey to McDonald's at 10 o'clock at night regular you started talking about the bumblebee you saved from a spider's nest a spider's spider's web But that's all I've heard I thought you saved it
Starting point is 00:33:15 Well that's the thing The day after I told you that story Right Which I'll tell the jarlings now I've got like a lily outside the front of my house And I kept walking past it To go to the car or whatever and I saw this poor little bumblebee, like, just chilling by it for a couple days.
Starting point is 00:33:35 It was just there for too long, so I was like, you know what, I'm going to bring this guy inside, give him a bit of honey, let him heal up so you can fly off. There's something wrong with this guy. It's obviously a bee, and I'm going to, like, pick it up. So I went and got, like, some, like, chopsticks. And I, like, gently lifted the little guy up, but I'm not very good with chopsticks. So he, like, fell down and landed in a spider's wheel. and then the spider like came out to fucking grab it so I had to like fight the spider off and save the bee but now the bee um was like wrapped in spider's web um and it couldn't fly and one of his bat legs
Starting point is 00:34:14 was like stuck to it with web so um I got it inside and performed surgery on it and managed to get all of the web off it and the little guy was fine I I looked over him was missing one antenna um but that was lost before the spider incident i promise um so yeah he was like healing up he's just like that gross tongue thing came out and he was like eating the honey like healing up getting strong again he's trying to flap his wings um and yeah once i got the web off he was like healing good and i took him outside put him on a flower he started like drinking the uh what the fuck sweet nectar sweet nectar um and i felt really good about myself he was like flying around like just drinking whatever the fuck they drink that beautiful
Starting point is 00:35:04 nectar and i was like okay i've done a good deed i can move on with my fucking life that night there's a storm the next fucking day i i wake up to go out into the garage what do i see there on the on the stone the bee the exact bee and why i just saw a bumblebee and i was like there's no way it's that same bubble and i went and inspected it and saw the one antenna on the on the same side I guess God just hates me Wait so When you put it back outside to begin with
Starting point is 00:35:40 Was it the back garden? Yeah I put it in the back garden There's like blackberries Like growing over the fence with all these flowers Yeah yeah So I put one on there and it was just chilling on that So So the storm happened
Starting point is 00:35:55 And the bee was capable of flying at this point right? Yeah, yeah. So then the storm happens and it happens to die in your garden still where you could see it. No, no, it was still alive when I found it that day. What? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was like just about wriggling. So I got him inside and tried the whole honey routine, but poor guy was too weak.
Starting point is 00:36:21 And he fucking died. Bumblebee Blues, man. Bumblebee Blues. It's like, this world is cold and heartless. You've got to protect bum, but they're, in my opinion, they are, like, the insect size where they're almost like just the next creature up. You know what I'm saying? The next creature up. We're like, they're so, like, meaty.
Starting point is 00:36:44 There's so much to them where... Well, they're fluffy. They got, like, fur. Yeah. They're just cute little guys that we need to protect. They are cute. Yeah, they're not, um... They're not gross.
Starting point is 00:36:58 no their tongue thing's pretty gross but you just ignore that no I don't think that's great it doesn't matter because they're so small no it's pretty gross if you look up close did you have like a magnifying glass while you were doing like surgery no I got pretty good eyes
Starting point is 00:37:13 damn okay yeah I really I really like bees I think I've talked before about the bushes in my garden and that at certain hours of the day there's just bees everywhere and I find that so unbelievably cute and when I get my house I'm gonna make sure to have loads of plants
Starting point is 00:37:28 so the bees can feast I've had lots of messed up bee experiences if I'm being real I think you need to just not go near them anymore
Starting point is 00:37:36 I think you're the one who's killing them Alec is you I feel like bumblebees are extremely vulnerable they're called bumblebees
Starting point is 00:37:44 because then they're like not really very good at flying they bumble around I don't know how like any of them
Starting point is 00:37:51 survive like birds yeah that's like an awesome target like a flying ball of fluff to just chew up. Yeah. They're pretty, like, poorly evolved.
Starting point is 00:38:07 How have they made it this far? No, but they're perfect for what they need to do. Just fat bumbles, just buzzing. Why are so many dying? Why are we in, like, a bee crisis? The last time I experienced one of these bee genocides was, like, walking around some of the, like, farmer's fields, like, a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:38:27 and the farmers must have used some like dodgy spray or some shit pesticides in that yeah every few steps there was like a dead bee it was like the slightest thing yeah that's messed up don't buy from McDonald's they use the worst pesticides and all their potatoes they use the worst bees in their nuggets would you eat bee nuggets
Starting point is 00:38:48 nuggets of bee meat if the outside crusty bit was honey that was like... Honey, yeah. Honey roasted bee nugget. That's too dark, man. I was just telling the story
Starting point is 00:39:03 about saving the bee. I mean, you know, half saving the bee? You know we have a kind of unwristen wall on jar. When insects and small animals die, they go in the jar. Really?
Starting point is 00:39:18 But we'd have to open the jar. It might release a new wave. A new type of bee. Do you not... I saw a hornet the other. the day. Really? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:27 we were just talking about Hornets a few weeks ago. It was a huge though. It made me feel a bit better
Starting point is 00:39:35 because it wasn't that big. All right. It was, it looked like just a big wasp. But like
Starting point is 00:39:43 too big to be a wasp. Yeah, yeah, so I guess. So I guess could have been a queen. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:39:48 maybe, but I don't think so. It was just doing like normal bug things. Mm. You know, it wasn't
Starting point is 00:39:54 looking for a place to lay low. and create a hive No, I still hate Hornets, but knowing that the English Hornet isn't that mental. Not as bad as it could be. Yeah, yeah, it makes me sleep easier at night.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I'll tell you what, it helps me sleep easier at night. These messages. Good afternoon, morning, evening, on night, ladies and gentlemen.

Starting point is 00:48:12 Want a dick on a shirt Check the description below Welcome to the second half of the JAR Media POSDACT where we answer questions from the community head over to the subreddit suggestion thread where you can ask us whatever you feel like just like oscarman 97 did who's going to start us off who would win in a fight to the death between i he alixi alix sardona cast Alex I build everything Alex and man man man boy boy man Alex man man Alex man man man Alex it depends on which era of Jara Alex?
Starting point is 00:48:49 Explain? Um, crackhead Alex would win. Yeah. Mm, I agree. I think, I think all the other versions of Alex are just too pussy to even fight. Agreed. Especially I build everything.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I ain't go argue. Alternatively, could Jim and James defeat all five Alexes at once? Yes. I think we will. No, I reckon we could defeat four. But crackhead Alex. Crackhead Alex, no. You know, because we've coined that era me as crackhead Alex,
Starting point is 00:49:24 I noticed a few comments of people confused, like, misinterpreting it, as if, like, I genuinely was on crack during that era. Like, just straight up. Um, the gayest jar fan actually applied to that saying, I feel like man, boy boy, man, Alex is the most likely to carry a knife. thanks there are a couple comments um and I'm prefacing this by saying I don't want to read these and this might be my least favorite jar debate in history um so I'm going to read this but I'm not going to engage my brain into what
Starting point is 00:50:11 the sentences are forming you guys can just unpack it and just Let rip. Because I'm just not interested in this. George is not okay, says, Don't worry, James. I got you, bro. James is literally completely right about the ripped, shredded debate.
Starting point is 00:50:27 The reason it's called rip slash shredded is in order to gain muscle. You have to put your muscles under stress. They're not prone to yet. As such, they rip and then rebuild better. Shredding basically translated to ripped lots or into many little pieces, a definition given by the commentary
Starting point is 00:50:41 at the beginning of the previous episode, which all you agreed upon. So the commentary at the beginning of the episode misunderstands what the term ripped slash shredded would be describing not the literal body as a whole but the muscle itself if the muscle is shredded it by definition was ripped apart more it therefore would have the more muscular final body james is absolutely correct his point comes from the actual science of our muscle is formed and what ripped slash shredded was even describing technically now read this all again and take a shot for every time i said ripped slash shredded have a great cast lads for real though and there was one other one um brubb five pouch was right about the shredded stuff i made a post about it ages ago stop arguing when you're saying complete BS mirror and beast mirror no wait that doesn't make sense you're so shredded means you're more ripped yes how can you use the word that means less than shredded to say that it's more.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Don't, I don't, no, not me, that. No, you can't just pull up this fucking, this fuck, you gotta be like the mediator, Alex and the political debate. You gotta, like, stop me at one minute. You're UN and our war. Our genuine war, you're the peace-speaking force. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I rest my case. Shredded is, it means, bigger than whipped. You rip muscles, you shred fat. You do both with those at the same time. Four. No, because to build muscle, right, you have to essentially damage it. Being, drip, ripping or shredding or... Two.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Damaging. And then your muscle grows stronger, back stronger. No, if... One. Hey Siri. Mm-hmm. What's stronger, ripped or shredded? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I didn't quite catch this. Fuck you... Oh my god. Uh, no confession, 9482 as one for us. This is a question specifically for James, although the minger to his left and the minger to his right can also pop up if they want. Hello? So I'm not allowed on this one. I have a napping problem.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I once thought that I was a similar breed to you, a passionate napper. But as time has gone on, I really... time has gone on, I realize that it is a problem, not a hobby. I'm always sleepy and always need to rest, even when I've done nothing to deserve it. I take supplements, I sleep enough at night. I do everything I can think of to keep energy levels up, but nothing helps. As a passionate nap of that works, podcast drives, sorry, drifts and goons. Tell me, how do you keep your energy levels so high to stay productive? Thanks and good morning. What about the others? Just good morning, but it's night or afternoon or afternoon depending on where you're listening yes see
Starting point is 00:53:47 I think there's a lot to say here because I am the passionate nap and I do nap a lot but I find that I nap normally as a result where I'm feeling overwhelmed emotionally or stressed whereas it's basically a coping mechanism resting your brain recharging yeah I need I just need time away and the easiest thing to do away from anyone and any noise into is to just nap is it's the best coping mechanism but I still do nap when I
Starting point is 00:54:19 don't sleep enough I'm I would probably say now I've got like chronically bad sleep I don't really yeah I don't really sleep all that much if I go to bed at like midnight I'll be up at six my body will wake me up at six
Starting point is 00:54:35 and I will probably be up at that time doesn't matter what I do even if I you know exercise or do gym It doesn't matter what I do. I'm always up. Do you nap every day? No. Recently I haven't napped.
Starting point is 00:54:49 And I've been super productive pretty much every day. I naped for the first time. Really? In like years the other day. Yeah, it was like last weekend, I think. How do it? Because a lot of people, they nap and then they get that very gawgy, slow, like feeling. I timed it
Starting point is 00:55:12 like just right in the day where it wasn't like awkward timing where it impedes too close to when you woke up or going to bed. So it was like just right. But that's very rare for me. I'm not a napper. And I, I, the, the part of how do I keep my energy levels up? I don't actually know. I drink coffee.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I've stayed physically active and I don't know. I don't know how. I just kind of keep going. Yeah, I have a couple of coffees a day. I think we all drink coffee and I think a lot of people do. We're in Europe, like, well, actually. Excuse my tongue. We are in Europe.
Starting point is 00:55:54 No, we're in America now. We left the Europe. Oh, yeah, we left the Europe, dude. We're in the United States for America. We're finally tiny America for real. We did it, guys. I think with me, because I sleep so poorly, just constantly, It gets to a point where I can't do it anymore. But I physically can't do late nights, but I would just crash.
Starting point is 00:56:16 And I have to sleep all day. I'll get home at 6 and I'll be in bed by 7, you know. I'll do that for a few days and I've got my energy back. That's the only, that's like the routine I have, the phases. I've been a phase of high, like, productivity and energy. And then it'll be the nap period. Then it'll be just like crash and sleep a lot. but the only thing that actually works for me
Starting point is 00:56:41 is what I tried I just started having again recently is CBD and that makes such a huge difference to my sleep I can go to bed at 8 and I'll get up I'll go to bed like 10 get up at 8 yeah those gummies are really good yeah no like gummies cookies um shots
Starting point is 00:57:01 they as long as it's got like as long as it's got like 20 mG of CBD it works for me and that's what I usually use when I can and I think if someone does have problem sleeping it is because you lose nothing from trying CBD you only benefit I don't know how you could fight
Starting point is 00:57:21 like the sleepiness of one of those like if you're struggling to sleep it generally does help and it's what I'd recommend because naps can fuck up your routine a lot and they could just make they can make your sleep worse because you are trying to sleep Isn't there like an ideal time or something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Apparently like 10 minutes is the best, but how on earth you're supposed to like time? Well, I found with my naps, I'm not asleep. Like my mind isn't in the plane of my womb. I'm, my eyes are closed, but I'm not asleep, but I'm completely relaxed. It was basically like meditation. It's like, pretty much. It's like when you wake up, short, 10 minutes before your alarm goes. off. I'd say it's different
Starting point is 00:58:07 because that's like a more like meditation if you're like trying to get to a relaxed state with like deep breathing. Yeah, you focus on your breathing. You just close your eye and it's like sleeping but you're not sleeping. So you don't get the negatives of actually falling asleep and waking up so soon. And that
Starting point is 00:58:24 works. That is snoozing, right? I did, I don't think it is. You snooze, you lose. Because when I think of snoozing, I think of you know, I've got up at six. Like I do and then it's like I've got to get up at seven. It's like I'm in a horrible state when I'm falling and going back
Starting point is 00:58:40 and then checking time and then No do you never snooze like on a weekend where you wake up like through habit earlier and you think fuck it it's the weekend and you lie there and like you said you never quite fall asleep
Starting point is 00:58:54 but you're not awake you're sort of between the realm I think they're two different things what snoozing and and a napping like a good nap and a snooze is different I feel more relaxed in a nap
Starting point is 00:59:08 Like I feel more calm Like I'm resting The snooze I'm like Why am I doing this? I feel terrible as a result of it I'm not a snoozy think Like I'm the type where When I get up
Starting point is 00:59:20 I'm up I can't lay in bed I've got to go up And like drive somewhere To fucking get my mind going Yeah I get the same thing When once I'm up It's kind of just game over
Starting point is 00:59:31 So to me You're napping and snoozy You're like just different an unlucky overlord left for us an AI chooses a game at random and JAR are teleported into it Sordart Online style and JAR have to make it to the end of the game
Starting point is 00:59:49 without dying What is the worst case scenario What's Sordart Online It's an anime where it's a VR game basically And the characters go into it And they're stuck in it So if they die in the game they're dead Yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:00:03 like ugeo rules you know yeah so think of what the games we own what ones would we the worst case scenario probably dark souls a good one would be what's the name of that game that I was playing
Starting point is 01:00:19 on game pass we're like the bird one no no no where you're like a the thing carrion yeah carrion yeah you're like a monster you're like the creature from the thing
Starting point is 01:00:32 like breaking out of a facility but would you be limited by the mechanics of that game well I was imagining like just us just put in as the people just be screwed well yeah that would be after but I mean like if we were put into Dark Souls
Starting point is 01:00:49 would we be limited to like the movement and move sets of of the mechanics of the game whatever's the most fair in terms of this ridiculous question like what are the rules and soil are they like more capable than they are um they have like they've got like powers and
Starting point is 01:01:08 shit yeah it's like an RPG game yeah so they work with the game rules yeah yeah pretty much okay so you've got to make it through a game and not die yeah pretty much dark souls do you just die yeah but you can have knowledge if you know the game like in sword art online the main character knows the game so that's why he's really good because he's played the game in in the world so if you've played dark souls constantly you'd probably be good at surviving the actual There's a bit where you have to die. Then you're dead. That's it.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Yeah, true. Best case scenario would be like one of those Mario games that, like, just plays it for you. Yeah. Yeah, but that's not really... Yeah, that's cheating. That's cheating. What about a Kirby game, then? That's best case scenario.
Starting point is 01:01:48 No, the Gears of War would probably be a very, very terrible time. Because that's not just death. That's really agonizing death. See if I just think about, like, Black Ops or something. Oh my God. Just Vietnam. Yeah, I think that would be one of the worst. Being, like, put into, like, Modern Warfare, too.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah, any cause. Yeah. It would just be horrible. Yeah, I think that newest, like, modern warfare would be, like, the most hellish thing to be put in. Speck-Ops the line, but actually, yeah, that would be fucking awful. Because either way, you're probably going to die. Yeah, to be honest, you could pretty much choose any game,
Starting point is 01:02:32 because most games are around, like, conflicts and ancient evils coming back that are, like, zombies and infections and, like, The Last of Us will be a horrible one. No, the witcher. For the most part, that's normal. No, they're horrible, like, mythological monsters. Yeah, but if you're sitting in the cities, in the towns,
Starting point is 01:02:50 you'll probably be fine. It's just you're not getting through the game because you're just a MPC at that point. That game's impossible to finish anyway. You'll never finish it. You'll never finish it. A trap there for eternity. you.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Paul Spector has one for us. Greetings, fellow free guy enthusiasts. Which is actually tracking quite well on rotten tomatoes at the moment. Is it out? A few pundits on Twitter have seen it or something, probably. Wanted to write in this week to share the observation that the podcast is slowly but surely mortim to promoting a healthy lifestyle and advocating for mental health regularly. The pandemic, it seems, has been a time of introspection for the board.
Starting point is 01:03:30 and it has surprisingly resulted in a generally more positive outlook on life. Perhaps the hardships and restrictions have made us all appreciate what we have and take greater care of it. I for one struggled immensely with insecurity and body dysmorphia before the pandemic. I was staying at the gym until they closed it at 10pm whenever I could because of my school schedule. Being forced to stay at home has made me realize how silly this was and what I'm doing in terms of my diet. I would frequently resort to starving myself. I'm working out in my bedroom with my own body weight and a couple of dumbbells with the podcast playing on the TV and I've never been happier.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Not being around people to compare myself with all the time taught me to just focus on battering myself and not neglecting my mental well-being. Cannot wait for the spooky special, Paul. We have had a very, very positive, like the last few episodes of health, mental health and whatnot. It's like, that's just... I don't know what it was about this whole pandemic experience. but it just
Starting point is 01:04:28 seem right just seem on the brain in a weird way it's like more people experiencing things that a lot of people that people have like anxiety like you know fear for things
Starting point is 01:04:43 I think that was a lot more widespread so a lot more people understood those feelings so when you're talking about it it hits more and things like everyone's like diets and everything have been all fucked up and like the COVID diet everyone's talking about and everyone's been gaining weight and lockdown not been able to go anywhere
Starting point is 01:05:00 so you know just kind of shits on everyone's mind like people are eager to fucking just move on and not quite in that state yet yeah just get on the grind set and keep moving you know but I think jar has always been very you know pro mental health
Starting point is 01:05:16 you know back from the early days we were still very much like that. We used to hate mental health absolutely despised it yeah there was that whole episode that was called like fuck mental health right yeah the mental health episode It's interesting With yourself
Starting point is 01:05:31 There's definitely like a It's like a line in the sand for me Like before and after COVID Where It's just a huge shift In like mindset and everything for me Um You've got to learn from it
Starting point is 01:05:49 Yeah It's just like a weird uprooting thing to be like Okay you've lived this way For like your whole life I just live a different way for a bit Get a bit different perspective The fuck is with her She's pissing me off
Starting point is 01:06:02 I think there were fireworks Really? Yeah, it's been fireworks Mike Hunt O'O9 has one for James What's your opinion on Itasha cars If you had to own one more anime Would you put on it? For those unaware Itasha literally meaning
Starting point is 01:06:18 Painful Car in Japanese Is a subculture where Japanese car enthusiasts plaster their cars with anime to make it look as shit and as cringy as possible. It sounds like my kind of place. I fucking love Itasha. I fucking love it. I want an Etasha car.
Starting point is 01:06:36 They're the ones that are all over like Forza when you're like on the customised. Yeah, when you go to your custom thing, there's just anime girls on cars. But it's a whole thing there because it's like, it's just, you know, anime fans and funds of like, you know, airsoft. They combine into this where they, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:51 they modified their skateboard, their bicycles, their cars. you know, with the hobbies of, you know, anime games and whatnot. I think it's the fucking coolest thing. Because, like, obviously, if you have that type of car, people are going to look at you a bit like... You can't not look at it. Yeah. And that's appealing to me. Because being in a traffic jam where everyone fucking knows your car,
Starting point is 01:07:16 they could be a Lamborghini next to you, but they're not looking at the car that the person spent money on to look, get looks. It's the fucking car of the anime girl on. Do you think cops would pull you over more, though? It depends what a tasha car you have. It's like driving around with a huge arrow, like, pointing at you. No, because if you're, if it's like the pisser. No, webes are the most law-abiding citizens of the morning. Because the, with attachers, every car.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Every type of car, every type of style, drift, race cars, you know, slammed cars, vans. They all get it. So if you have the pisser with, uh, gerald on it, that's not going to really get pulled over but if you have a drift car with an anime girl on it, probably going to get pulled over but if I'm going... Surely it costs a lot of money to get...
Starting point is 01:08:05 No, it's because it's printing vinyl, so it's printing a custom design on violin having it in. Then does it go like, what the next level down? Is it like based on the anime you like judge like the quality? Like if someone chooses like a shitty trash anime
Starting point is 01:08:21 and puts like trash characters on it or does that not I don't think it really matters because it's like if you like an anime and you just want to appreciate the anime you can just do that and there's simple levels to it because you can just buy anime stickers for your car that has the characters on
Starting point is 01:08:33 that has that theme that's fine and what anime did I get done I thought about this I thought about this so much because I want to do it I want to attach a car what's the anime though
Starting point is 01:08:45 see part of me just wants to say spice and wolf because it would be fitting yeah because I think that would be sick but at the same time it would be like something Gundam related maybe
Starting point is 01:08:59 Jojo getting Jotero on the side of my car would be fucking sick but it's just like my car if I was to attach to a car it would be a street drift car so it would be like cable tied bumpers you know slammed it would be a car
Starting point is 01:09:14 to be used so it'd have that look but I'd probably go over Jojo at Gundam but you Jim what anime character would you put on the pisser Um Oh you know One of the cool ones
Starting point is 01:09:27 Naruto maybe Um Goku Oh Avatar from Avatar that last time I think that That would definitely work
Starting point is 01:09:39 On the pizza That would be sick actually So yeah Just get the arrow Blue arrow But yeah If I might have An attach a car eventually
Starting point is 01:09:47 And everyone's gonna love it I've got three more here guys, for we wrap this up. Review Tech Brooklyn 9-9. What's up, Gooners? I have a pressing Cringmust 2019 related question because James deserves some credit if this was intentional. In Cringmust 2019, James gave Ruben
Starting point is 01:10:06 a massive photo of a black-op zombie's character, seeing as how this character's name is Tank Dempsey. Myself and other jarlings have noticed that this seems like a brilliant callback to Ruben giving James the model tank for Christmas in 2016, since James has now given Ruben a Christmas,
Starting point is 01:10:22 of his own. My question to James is, was this an intentional callback, or is this one of the crazier coincidences on Jha? Also, did the other Jail members make this same observation? This weird parallel is surprisingly never brought up throughout the entire video. No, I didn't. Because the whole joke is that it was a picture you posted in our group chat of the game with the crosshairs and the pistol of the character. So I just found that funny and I put it on a massive print. I didn't, I didn't. The tank part of tank Dempsey never entered my mind yet again another just yeah because that that's I can't remember if it was a screenshot I took while playing you did it was your phone yeah I took a picture with my phone of the screen playing card looking at James or Ruben and that's what James got a print of so like it's not like you googled an image of tank Dempsey no I was just like
Starting point is 01:11:19 this is fucking funny I need to put this because We show it on the, because the video went live to, as we're filming this on Friday, is the Torbom. The other jar room explained. And Tank is actually still on the wall behind our big TV. I always forget it's there, but don't forget I'm here. It's, I kind of want to. It would be complete, like, heresy to do. I kind of want to take it when I get my own house.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Because I want to actually just put it just in a room. A dedicated room, the shrine. The tank dumps you. But at the same time it's jar law So it deserves a place in this one This shrine that we have It does conjure certain emotions It's like a museum compressed into a
Starting point is 01:12:04 Single lit I still That is still the great The best thing I've ever fucking bought You do you do not know how Fucking excited I would be in my room And I just fucking burst out laughing
Starting point is 01:12:16 Because I knew it was in my room I knew it was ready for that fucking Christmas Yeah that's some patience That requires patience I remember ordering it on my lunch break I was just like, fuck, I'm going And it was so fucking funny to me It was so fucking funny
Starting point is 01:12:30 It's genius Yeah, that image cropped up a lot In our group chat Yeah, I had to Best thing I've ever done Bill Hader Gaming has a penultimate one here If you boys are interested I've got another point in this debate topic
Starting point is 01:12:46 For you to intellectually dissect Is the word pound one syllable or two one pound yeah um yeah one pound
Starting point is 01:13:00 is that the whole question that's the question yes okay how could you they suppose it P-O-U-N-D pound like a British pound
Starting point is 01:13:09 pound pound I'm I'm trying to say it in a way to make it too Pahound Pound Pounder
Starting point is 01:13:18 Pound C-A-A-O-S-C-A-C-A Pounder Pound Pound I love the word Pound I fucking love the word
Starting point is 01:13:29 I love the name CCH Pounder That's one of the best names ever No not one of the The best name Who is C C C Hounder Hasnvader Michael Asimvader Wait wait
Starting point is 01:13:41 Wait no was CCC That wasn't a real person though No but that name is stuck in my mind Asavader Ass invader Asinvader um pound the artillery guns the british used in world war two were they were pounders
Starting point is 01:13:59 like three inch pounder well it's just i'm more i'm at this point i'm more intrigued by the question like what do they how do they think pound is said announced pound pound pound pound pay unth is it the n d at the end pound pound because around that's two around pound pound but no but that would be
Starting point is 01:14:25 three according to this person yeah around makes sense because otherwise it'll be around around pound pound pound is smooth pound pound pound pound is smooth because it's one syllable yeah pound around
Starting point is 01:14:40 around it isn't that it's real hayd man you've got to get that game in line and like clarify what you mean by this I'm so confused I don't know why is he just fucking with us
Starting point is 01:14:53 have we just being bamboozled right now yeah it wouldn't be the first time fine let's end on this one from vibrating Pablo and speaking of Pablo it's still not out stop asking hey jar boys what video games in your opinion have caused the most damage
Starting point is 01:15:13 to the industry in recent history Here are my personal picks. No Man Sky has somehow made it okay for companies to release half-ass garbage because they'll fix it later and I can't believe that most gamers lack so much critical thinking that they apply the pity of not having enough time
Starting point is 01:15:29 that may be deserved towards the team that made No Man Sky towards bigger AAA studios that have no right to be releasing garbage Bethesda's CG Project Red and Destiny is also another bit because, at least to my knowledge, destiny started the ongoing trend of showing off other players' characters to you to coax you to buy their shitty in-game currency cosmetics or, God forbid those obnoxious Zuma dances
Starting point is 01:15:50 as the map is loading in. And another note, it makes me realize that we'll probably get to see Spartans dabbing in the near future. I'd much prefer if every game had the beep, beep, beep, dark screen than gameplay of Halo 3 because every time I see a dancing cue, it makes you want to die. Cheers, Mingers. Okay, my options would be Mass Effect 3, because it introduced some popular
Starting point is 01:16:12 packs paid packs. A lot of like awful shit actually that game did with the day one DLC as well with the Jabic name. Yeah on online pass yeah those as well and the packs that's a really good one then Fortnite because of the battle pass yeah I would say the the the
Starting point is 01:16:32 battle pass doesn't stand out in my mind as bad of a trend as like Battlefront 2 for example even though that wasn't the example that set that trend though that wasn't aspect three more so or FIFA or something no they're the ones that come at the end of the trend like battlefront two one the straw that broke the camel's back yeah yeah totally battlefront two was uh taking it's just this such an extreme i i'd say overwatch yeah
Starting point is 01:16:59 overwatch is a good one how because i would say overwatch pushed over that wall that was the oh it's just cosmetic thing yeah it made okay transactions and packs where that was the first game where everyone was praising the packs because it was just cosmetic and then the just cosmetic thing began and ever since then it's gone further and further and further with that shit because that's that's what that they overwatch was um who did the whole like gambling thing was
Starting point is 01:17:24 yeah yeah that was a pack game wasn't it yeah real big around that era and that was always the argument as to why it's okay it's just aesthetic or whatever just cosmetic um and no man sky is a good one actually I don't know if no man sky really influenced I think it did
Starting point is 01:17:42 in terms of, at least in the games industry, in the way they talk about No Man's Sky, it's now a beat in, like, headlines and shit, like, is blank the next No Man Sky? Is blank going to be the next game that, like, brings it around? Like, that's shit at first, and they bring it around. But they don't say that until a game's
Starting point is 01:17:58 already released shit. And if it's released shit, then it's already had a bunch of bad press. Like, if anything, I reckon cyberpunk releasing in the way it did should be good for the game's industry. Because their stocks plummeted. one's making fun of them like depends what their knock on effect is i guess yeah but they've definitely lost some cred cd um and i don't think people want to so oh yeah if we're talking about
Starting point is 01:18:27 recent history at least like games in good shape yeah i would say recent history is definitely cyberpunk it's got to be the highest profile fuck up um yeah but i think it was good for the industry yeah yeah yeah no you're right i would say that that is better than but it was more for like the Battlefront 2 way where it's just like false advertising and just saw this shit
Starting point is 01:18:48 bubbling up yeah yeah yeah I agree with Fortnite as well Destiny has to get thrown out there too yeah if not just if not just for the UI alone that just just the UI
Starting point is 01:19:04 that menu system with the cursor and the fucking way it's just that one bit alone It's like been copied by some reason now Every console game has to have like a mouse cursor It's a controller Why are you using a mouse?
Starting point is 01:19:23 Yeah Destiny is a good one too Yeah and every single player Every Ubisoft game is trying to be Destiny Yeah Yeah There's some good ones Yeah
Starting point is 01:19:35 Oh was that I think that was the final question guys final question yeah that was it from vibrating pablo I just didn't introduce it as the final question that's absolutely ridiculous I did introduce the penultimate question there so we should have known
Starting point is 01:19:54 yeah thank you for the final question Pablo thanks pablo is danda out yet danda's not out donda's not gonna come out will it be out when this goes live
Starting point is 01:20:05 so it'll be the Monday after that weekend it was supposed to come out tomorrow you reckon yeah it's what it says did he see the latest video of him he's like in this coliseum fucking just being risen
Starting point is 01:20:19 what have you not seen it I've seen a lot of Dark Souls memes because he was wearing this like spiky jacket and there's this guy that invades you in Dark Souls the one I saw was like this light show with it looked like him like in the middle of this huge arena just like being lifted up like he's like a yeah
Starting point is 01:20:37 like he's being lifted up by God oh geez oh no this album's not going to be good. No, it's going to be awesome. Has Kanye lost it? Yes. He's fucking off the hook now.
Starting point is 01:20:48 He's properly off the hook. Off the... Is it on the wagon? Or off the wagon? He's on something. The hook. I just want Life of Pablo too. Yeah, Dunder.

Starting point is 01:21:23 Yeah. How's he going up like that? You're going in? He's just... Yeah, this album... Oh geez. If it drops And it's just pure shit
Starting point is 01:21:44 I think that's going to happen I'm quite excited What do you think Is Kanye's new Donda going to be trash Or is it going to be smash Let us know in the comments down below Or mash Is mash good or bad
