Good afternoon, morning, evening on night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Jercast. I'm your host Alex, joined here, as always, by James. James and Jim. How do you? We come to you not live, but every week, Mondays at 6pm UK time. We are the regular show. with that cartoon network show with like a raccoon

and a... Yeah, a bird. Raccoon? Yeah, it's a bird. Did I just say a raccoon and a raccoon? Yeah. I didn't mean to say that. But before we go any further,

I'd like to thank the patrons for supporting the show. Head over to Patreon slash jarmedia. Patreon.com slash jar media. God, my brain. For, um... Just to help us out, support us. Keep the audio version of the show going.

You know what I'm saying? people need it on iTunes where they can rate us five stars and the shilling is over how are you doing yeah man yeah I feel like really not scared or like we're in the middle of some kind of weird ritual well we're not is the reason why we don't do rituals here yeah we're kind of straight Catholic boys you know we we don't mess with the dark arts speak for yourself Have you been doing something you shouldn't have been, Alex? I know. There is something scary, though, James, that we do need to talk about.

That being the close call near evisceration of Britain's wildlife. Yes. There has been. So, most country people would know, who live out in the country, would know. back roads the small roads you know that connect you know town cities together before you get on like major roads

so picture this it's a start of quite a big storm so it's raining heavily really strong winds what time of day was this this was a one in the morning damn Saturday night one in the morning Sunday morning Sunday morning

right yeah of course and I was going down this background You know, pitch black, no lights at all. It's all just trees, trees, trees, rain, wind, just a mess. So I was driving down 60 miles an hour going down this road. Pretty quick. Pretty speedy. The speed limit, you know, I was doing the complete speed limit. And everyone who drives down these nose has the fear that one day an animal could one out in front of your car. It's like the fear in your back of your head.

You see it sometimes, you see people hitting like dears and having their car destroyed. Yeah, there's always a corpse on the roads. Always. So here I was, travelling down, going a bit speedy, listening to Eurobeat, because that's what you do. And suddenly I was getting up this road and suddenly an animal started just running out right in front of where I was. Suddenly. And between, my instant response was like, avoid because obviously the

other side of the road was clear there's no point because there's this like misconception what people believe you should do and like an animal pulls out a lot of people think you should like stop really you shouldn't stop if like an animal

one's out you have to hit it basically yeah because of what you say because if there is a car coming the other way it's probably better you hit the animal as opposed to crashing into another car and causing a pipe and if you try to emergency stop to hit to stop you're going to hit the animal anyway

and you're possibly the person behind you hit you causing a big crash so it's like in that situation it's like you just got to hit it and kind of kill it it's going to go so here I was and my instant response

because the road was here was to just boom like just completely try to avoid it and I didn't break at all I just threw it then break suddenly and then just kind of catapulted myself around and I've got footage literally just boom

boom straight across didn't slow down until and I just continued driving If you're listening to the audio version of this this is one I'd recommend going to the YouTube version just to watch the intro Because the intro to this video was James' like dash cam footage of him dodging the badger

Did we say it was a badger? It appeared to be a badger But from the point I saw it Like walk out to the point where I'm on the road again after dodging it's two seconds that's really did you time did you look at the time it's from like nine seconds to 10 seconds to 11 seconds that is incredible the fact that my brain could actually just like calculate go that way instant reflex yeah my instant reflex yeah a few months back um i nearly had a collision with an animal

didn't have the footage of it but i was driving back um to town at night and this huge bloody great deer came bolting out of the woods and it and it was like with with the badger like luckily it was late at night and there were no cars coming so I could kind of go around it like you did and I was going waste alert I wasn't going 60 but that was scary enough on its own especially because like a badger will mess your car up

a badgers are built like a shit brick house if you hit one of them you're it's gonna your car's gonna be destroyed yeah but imagine like how much worse it would even be if it was one of these huge like bucks yeah it would just it could go through the windscreen it could hit you it's it's not yeah those antlers could go through like some horror movie scene and just impale you on the spot yeah and uh i managed to avoid it and you you see in the video i didn't make a noise like it's obviously inside my car no noise at all i did not react i was just like yeah boom no um someone i know sister um when they were doing their driving test

um a pheasant ran out because it's like a it's like a small bird like chicken like thing you should if you're in the country not there yeah yeah yeah i just like because most places don't have badges do they or maybe types of badges because i was talking to my dad who's from new zealand and i was talking to him about the wild animals that live there because it's completely different obviously they don't have foxes they don't have badges um so then I was like oh yeah of course like we don't like the world doesn't share the exact same yeah like like for like example if you're like in Canada or America you could hit

fucking like bear or fucking like huge elf it's like fuck that's like next level that's hitting like that's the equivalent of hitting an actual car which is just absolutely yeah especially if it is like a huge elk that's like and their horns are like huge as well so maybe that's way in America they've all got these massive cars. Yeah, it's a slight elk protection. No, but it's actually a test, isn't it? Cars in America are designed so that if they

hit an elk, the person won't be killed. Really, they're to design it around elk. Yeah. But yeah, this person was doing their driving test and a pheasant came out in front of the car and they were instructed to just go through the pheasants.

Like, just eviscerated the pheasant, kept on driving. And they were like, started crying and they like hated like they just couldn't deal with it yeah hitting an animal and then they failed no but this isn't my first time actually being it's my first time being the driver near an animal near miss but it's not my first time actually hitting one in a car because same situation identical situation but i was a i was a passenger and my colleague just went round a corner and then boom just smacks this a small like Bambi basically.

Really? Just a blitz race it. And then she, then I was just like, she hit it and I was like, don't stop, drive. She started fucking crying and I was just don't stop at the next stop because you should just stop, like we're not on the road.

And then my boss being like a chef was like, where is it? I can make dinner. So he literally went out in the middle of a storm to find this, this Bambi that we hit. He took it home. Cut it open and the way what happens to animals when you hit them is

They don't show any signs on the outside, but just the insides actually pop. So he cut open this Bambi, and it is just all, every single thing just fell out of it as like a liquid. And then he just went down the road because it obviously the meat was buggered. He's threw in the bit, like through it in the ditch. And that's like, damn. The question is, should you have killed this badger? No. With the badger culling and everything.

Are we still doing that? Are we still hunting down badgers? Are they like a pest? I don't even know if it is a badger because I've seen the footage if you watch it. Well, the jarlings can comment and let us know what they think it is.

I don't know what else it could be. Could have been a corgi. Quite a random corgi and I was just like, in the middle of the woods. I just, I'm surprised my reactions were so good and I just didn't react like at all. It was just like, boom. And it's just like, I remember the exact thing

I did. In car terms, it was just a weight transfer to the right, then break to put weight on the front to then shoot it around. I did that in two seconds. I don't know how, but my mind is just like, do you think the average person could have done that, or do you have honed skills, let's say? Well, I was doing, let's say I was doing this at 60. Most people can't, like, drive at 60, to be honest, so I don't know, but I... Can flex your driving, then? Flex on the... Well, I learned to drive at 14. and competed in regional championships and you know. But you didn't have your licence to you're like 20, right?

Yeah, because I rode motorbikes. I made that mistake of riding motorbikes. Oh my God, that was the one fear. I actually have a fear in my mind of hitting animals because of a motorbike. Oh my God, yeah. Because it's like if you hit a deer, you're dead. Yeah. So I was just like, that was my biggest fear and it's like not anymore because you're in a box.

But it's weird that it's now happened. It's taken this long, but I've actually had it happen. happened and I... But you dodged it. I dodged it. You didn't even get the... I dodged it. And this was all before a car meet in like seven hours' time. Yeah.

So I was just like, Christ. That badger made it home? My car made at home. I made at home. The badgers have homes? It must have. It must be crossing the street for a reason. Why did the badge across the road, my dude? To get hit by a Mazda, it seemed. To get to the mushroom.

But watch the... Watch the video, let me know what you think. I'm happy of my job. Yeah, we can actually hand out some handy advice here to those that might be interested. Yeah, don't drive. Save the environment. Yeah, you could do that. But we all took too long to get our driver's license. Oh, yes.

James got it first. 20, 20? Yeah, I was 20. And 20 is quite late because what? 17. 17 is when you're allowed to get your license here. You're allowed to get a provision. I'm a car person as well. That's like even more.

Yeah, I was like I knew you would be the first to get your license, but I was shocked to. It took a song. What was it because it was just so expensive? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Because for me, as soon as I was 17, I started doing lessons. I did like 12 lessons. Um, but we have to do a theory test here. So you have to drive somewhere like Gov approved and then sit down at a PC and do this weird. It's a horrible test It's like a two-part test where you have to do 50 multiple choice questions And then an interactive like

Spot the issues on the road If there's a badger running out what do you do basically Yeah there's this weird like video Where it shows like a POV of a car driving And on the mouse you have to click every time There's something that they perceive As a danger and it's like measuring your response time But there's like

All these weird CG elements in it? Yeah. Like when you did it, did it have all the weird CG stuff? Yeah, and I, because of the way the CG was like animated, it's just like you could tell, because they

artificially speed the animation up when it was going to happen, and I'd be able to spot it before then, it wouldn't count. So it's just like, great. No, that really annoys me. And the, the, like, CGI is creepy. Yeah, super creepy. They do CGI humans.

Yeah. And there was this one, because I've been doing it, because I've got my theory test coming up. um and these two uh like bin men came from behind a bin lorry and like one of the cg i men turns and looks directly into the camera what you're looking through and like weird it's really creepy yeah it's like he peers into your soul and the thing was in that one i pressed on it when i saw him on the other side of the

truck like starting to walk there yeah so i was like oh that's that's that's Well, I need to look out for this guy coming out, but I pressed it too soon. Yeah, in real life, that would be the indication that there's someone there. But they penalise you for being too early. Yeah, yeah. Too safe. You're being too safe. I failed my theory three times for that issue because I was just like, why am I getting failing?

I'm spotting the issues, but it was just like there's like a, you get free for being perfect on time, then a two and a one. So you've obviously got to score out like 50. It was infuriating. passed my theory and because I was so annoyed at it, I didn't do any lessons until a fucking month before the theory expires. I was just like... Oh yeah, because once you pass the theory, you have a year. You have two years, two years. Two years.

Oh, is it two years? Okay, that's a bit better. So you waited two years? I did. And then I looked at the theory certificate one morning was just like, shit. Literally, it was just like, I'm not doing this again. So I was just, I called an instructor and said, I need a driving lesson every day. I've got my, my theory runs out then.

I need to pass my test before then I feel like we're not alone in the hatred of the theory test Yeah everyone hates the theory test No one likes a theory test No one's like oh I'm really glad this is part of it If I lose my license somehow It definitely won't happen

If I have to retake my theory I'm just going to go to another country and do it there No because I can honestly say Tell me if you guys agree with me James had been on the road Longer than Jim obviously So he'll have more to add but I don't think um anything that I like when I revised to pass with a theory I don't think any of

that is retained in my head as useful knowledge as I'm on the road no I as someone that's learning I think it makes it harder the theory stuff it's like to me in my head it's like there's the theory and the practical and I've learned all this stuff of the theory and when I'm actually driving it's completely different it is completely different and I miss things because the way it's taught isn't it's checking boxes as opposed to actually being taught how to like understand these yeah just like the education system in general yeah you shouldn't be like taught like all the stuff in the theater and it's like most people will get in a car and have no idea anything about it's like you know this thing could kill you you should know the most

basic like maintenance for the car and i don't get it i hate it yeah because back in the day like Instead of doing a theory, the driving instructor just ask you a couple of questions. Yeah. Because they know, like, they're teaching you, they've taught so many, like, students. Like, they know what to look for in someone who's going to be a dangerous driver. They know. Yeah. So, you know, give them some credit.

It's all just some stupid scheme to, you know, get money of people who want to drive. And let's just say, at this moment in time, learning to drive, doing your theory, is it unbelievably expensive? Is it on purpose to try and dissentivise people doing it? Because it is such a ridiculous amount of money and they want less cars on the road. I know we said that, you know, something you should do when you're young. I don't understand how anyone at 17 would have the income. Yeah, unless your parents can pay for you. That's why I only did it like a year or two ago.

Yeah. like i couldn't afford that's that's the same reason i had the money in two when i was 20 to do it yeah i don't now i have the money i didn't have the money when i was earning 600 pound a month as a basic apprentice you don't when like lessons like you know two hours is close to 100 pound mm how am i supposed to fit that in with every other thing in my life yeah it's ridiculous let alone when you actually buy the car and then you've got insurance insurance tax because insurance will be more than lessons most of the time in total and it's like that's one year one year

yeah it's and that's why I've left it late but yeah the average for the first year is like over a grand but the point is though once you have your license like you have it and when you're younger and have less responsibilities it's the perfect time to do it yeah because just get it out of the way

once you have things you have to abide by you know a job or family or whatever it does but it is just so much more annoying trying to figure out the schedule. And importantly, it is quite vital for a job. It's really difficult to get a job where you live without a car because you need to be

able to travel. Yeah, if you're not living in like the centre of a city. Yeah, you have a lot more opportunities if you can drive. Yeah, exactly. I actually remember when I was trying to find the job when I was 21 so not my last job or my last before, when I was going through in places

just telling them like yeah, I haven't got my license. yet was difficult because they would instantly lose interest because they won't be able to get a place for you because then you need a car so it's not only just vital as you know how they're getting it's like you're not going to be able to get a good job if you don't have a license it's it's it's horrible because it's a catch 55 it's like you're not going to get money to be able to get your license because you can't get a good job because you don't have your license yeah you can't commit to a job that's like away from you because you can't get to it And, you know, us living out in the cuntmore of the country without, you know, the big cities, there's no way you're going to get a job in, like, the towns we live in. It's the bumpkin life, I'm afraid. The bumpkin life. That'd be a good name for this episode.

Too bad it's blue dog. Bumpkin blue wolf. Bumpkin blue wolf. I'm still going to write down bumpkin life, just on the off charts. But do get your license, because it also helps you mature and, You know, experience things, which is important. Yeah. It took me...

Before we move on from this topic, I suppose Jim can't really answer, but... You passed first time, didn't you? On the test? I pretty much aced the test. Pretty much. I'd say we both did. We both did. You actually technically did better than me, actually.

I had less minors. You did. How many minors did you have? Two. Okay. You had one, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I had one. Yeah.

One minor. So technically, Alex is the better driver, technically. But it took me three attempts to do the theory. It took me four attempts to do the theory. But to be fair, I'm like, I'm not good at that type of stuff. I really can't do exams and, like, revite. I don't know how to revise. Education system completely failed you then.

I don't think I've ever mentioned that back in, like, doing your GCSEs, or whatever they're called now, I never revised. I've never revised for anything in my life because I don't know how because I'll sit down with a book and I'll start reading it I'm just like this ain't going in

so I just stop You never talk about like the different techniques for memory kind of stuff No My parents like never got involved With my school life

I was left my own devices and that's why I played Mono Fair 2 obsessively because it's just like I can't You kind of do need like your parents breathing down your neck a little bit

Yeah you know You need some consequences The only time I ever did homework, my dog actually chewed it up and then I told that to my teacher and he was like, this is a line, I'm like, no, he did

actually rip it up because he was a puppy at the time. So I just, I just even, I've never advised since and you know, I've been to like college and I've done like really kind of difficult maths and science and never advised, somehow past that at the best level. Somehow I am where I am without being able to

advise. Yeah. So everyone send Jim nice tweets ready for his theory send him some good positives and anyone out there

who's going to be doing it soon there's always someone doing it probably turn back to this subject when you've experienced it and know how like the actual exam is how shit it is well I've been doing the mock test on the app and I'm fully aware of how bullshit the test

actually going to the test is even worse because you've got to go to Swindon it is in Swinders yeah Yeah, to the final nail in the coffin of that one is you've got to go away to fucking Swindon. No, but that was the worst thing, because when you don't have a car to go to Swindon, you've got to get lifts to Swindon. And then when you fail one and you've got constantly after lift, it's like... Yeah. On top of having to pay £40 at every day.

Oh, it's all a scam. In other news, though, sorry, do you have something to say, bro? No. Fuck the fuck food. Um, we've been asked by a... few jarlings to report our thoughts on the newest guerrillas song because there seems to be

a bit of overlap there with the kind of guerrillas fans thing because we've often expressed our affection I don't know if you're on the same level James or James I grew up Where do you stand on it? When I was a kid I grew up on

in not music from video games that was twice it and all that there was two albums but I grew up with Discovery by Duff Punk. Demon Days. Okay, so they are my childhood music. Okay, I feel like it's just,

is it just our generation? Like, it's just the perfect timing. Like, that first guerrillas thing and, like, the, the co-labs and the, like, animated band thing. It's, like, a fun new gimmick and stuff. It's, like, a huge fan base, you know? And, like...

Yeah, it's sort of a niche as well, though. Like... Because the music's fairly interesting. Yeah, because it's like a co-lab project, so it's always like new, crazy, you got Lou Reed, you got Snoop Dogg, you got Dela Soul, there's like so many different weird combos. Yeah, yeah. But I feel like the general consensus is the, their latest stuff has not been quite up to snuff. We've started with Humans being the first. Humans is definitely their weakest album.

I don't like passionately dislike it or anything. it's just like as an album it's not one I'm going to visit and like listen through the whole thing like I might listen to a single from it or something yeah there's like a two good singles on it and the rest is yeah

and the now now is kind of just like chill hip-hop beats it's a reset it's like a reset of like everything yeah I think that one is better though than humans I'd agree no I can listen to all of the now now happily I enjoy that album but I can see why people might think it lacks the umph

um but their newest newest project uh song machine is this is this uh typical sort of guerrilla's approach to uh releasing new music in the sense that it seems like they're just going to be doing kind of like singles just multiple singles and using the song machine motif as like a framing device to Is it going to be... I don't know if it's an album or if it's like a... Because it would be cool if they just did...

If they did this for like... However many years they're going to do it. Like a couple years and then at the end package it as an album maybe. Yeah. If it makes sense. But if each song's like really different, like so different that there is no through line, you know, in the way that like Plastic Beach has a clear through line. Yeah.

It has a clear through line. But the first song, um... What's it called again? Momentary bliss. Momentary bliss. What do we think? It's a good English punk. Yeah, at first, I didn't really like it.

But it's weird that you really have to listen to it with good, like, speakers or headphones. Yeah, it's actually completely ruined. Because when you put some headphones in and listen to it. this song it's like holy shit this is really good yeah the production's really good i like that they use like a real drum kit because they use a lot of sort of electronic production for the last few albums so it was nice to hear that kind of blur punky yeah it sounds more like their first album demon days and blur there's a bit of plastic beach in there as well yeah there is there's like sort of i don't i don't know like music terminology but the start is very different

to like the middle. Yeah. And the start is similar to the end. It's because it's got so many different people in it, doesn't it? Yeah. The start and the end is like plastic beach. And the like meat of the song, the middle bit is like Demon Days and their first album, Gorillas. Yeah, it's got that like nice sort of London energy to it.

Yeah, yeah. It sounds proper English, like, you know? Yeah. I wouldn't want every song to be like that, but, like, from this project. Yeah, the same way their first album did it. Exactly, yeah. There's like two sort of punky rock songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I really like it, yeah. I liked it at first, but upon listening to it more and more, I appreciate it more and more, I was reading through the lyrics, and they're suitably sort of, you know, chaotic and witty. But there's this real, like, progression to the song and I love when music really gets you on board like even if you don't know

what the fuck they're talking about but that's one thing that's actually really interesting to me about guerrillas is like I really don't know what a lot of the songs actually mean yeah they're so vague and um metaphorical a lot of the time yeah where it's it's hard to tell unless you like actually properly study it like you're in English lit or something yeah yeah yeah and what's going on

but there's still this this like it's the thing i find with run the jewels as well it's it's just it feels like they're starting to pump you up like yeah no yeah that's what i really like about run the jewels too not the not the not the album run the jewels too but run the jewels t o'o like it's not completely overt maybe that's what is so lame about humans it's like you, the, because it was all sort of about like Trump and like the end of the world type stuff. Yeah. It was, it was, it was lacking that kind of subtlety.

And it was really, like, melodramatic for, like, what had actually happened. Yeah. Like, we've mentioned it before where it's like, it's like the, one of the most tired subjects, you know, in media. Like, all that just mocking, you know, Donald Trump and stuff like that. You can criticize him, but it's like, after a while. while it starts to just become white noise. Yeah, for entertainment, it's not very entertaining. Yeah, I feel like he could be a bit more subtle about it in some way.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited because the next one... Yeah, it's got me back on board. This song is better than anything from humans and anything from the... Yeah, it reminds me a bit of do your thing. Remember that one? Hmm. Lots of... It's like a group project again. I think it's better than do your thing. Yeah. No, I think it is better, but I still really like do your thing.

and on that note I think we're done with that one we'll be back after these messages for some questions from the community tea community want a dick on a shirt

check the description below welcome to part two of the jarcast where we answer questions from the jarlings themselves we have two sources of questions this week that being JAR Media Reddit, which is the usual place we look first, but we're having some

technical difficulties, and we're recording this episode early, so the thread is full of questions we've already answered. So, we're going over to Twitter, at JAR, no, at 4 Funnies. Let's do this then. Let's just start with this from, uh, at JAR Funnies, JARCive. any of you seen Bojack's season 6 yet if so what did you think of it yeah I've seen it I saw it first

yeah I finished it yeah because I I did a tweet saying how much I like it and I was doing I'm really bad at spelling right I'm terrible at spelling same so the way I type

is I type like just as wrong as possible but in a way where I can tell what the word is so I can go back and fix it later

but of course you can't do that Twitter so like I wrote out my little thing about BoJack and tweeted it and then sort fuck

fuck I spelled one of the fucking words wrong God damn it um what word was it don't or something no it was um

um um bong I'll find it in a minute but it was it was a word that is like in my head difficult to spell I'm so about spelling but um I forgot to go back

Was it horse? It was poachack What did you think though? Yeah it was the end no spoilers for those because I'd recommend watching it if you can get through the first season um I saw a great

um like uh explanation sort of take basically on it Yeah. Whereas it ends, and I don't know about you, but there is something kind of unsatisfying about it, but that's kind of the point. Yeah. Like, they don't take the obvious route, you know? Yeah, so it looks like it's going there.

Yeah. Which is cool, and it just reaffirms like, yeah, life is fucking bumpy. That's like the whole point of it in the end, and it's like, you just got to keep moving. forward that's like it um so yeah and i was satisfied i think it makes sense with the way it wrapped up personally yeah definitely it's just like because with with shows like this i sort of imagine i'm looking forward to going back and rewatching the whole thing but then when when the the point of the show is to be kind of depressing mm-hmm Yeah.

You don't really... I just feel satisfied like, okay. Like, I don't need to jump back in. Like, when I finish Mr. Robot, I was like, I've got to start this again. Right. But after that, I'm like, okay, no, I'm happy. I'm satisfied, but the, like, intended feeling is sort of, like, depressing.

It's not wrapped up with, like, a nice, neat little bay. No. It's more just like, yep. Yeah. That's life. But, um, sort of. Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, it's extremely good.

It's like proper art. And it, yeah, it was, um... Bittersweet. Yeah, I'm so blown away by the quality of that show at the obscene. Yeah, although... Each season has an episode that's like... Mmm, this is really good. That pig from the last season, they really annoyed me?

The detective pig character. Yeah, the pig and the guy. See, I didn't like it that much until they do a joke with it that I thought was like, okay that makes the whole thing so much funnier to me it made it funny what no like it made fun of itself but it like that joke was just in it too much

right it was very very over the top but like I think I sometimes forget how like weird that show is sometimes like they really lean into like the absurdist like basically anything the character like Aaron Paul's Todd does yeah it's like so obscene

surdist and like wacky a lot of the time yeah which i guess is kind of essential for it not to be completely overbearing and uh yeah yeah because it's bad enough when it gets real but all the all the main characters are like really good in that show really like fleshed out my only complaint is that pig joke like the the character yeah the guy those two like old-timey detectives yeah yeah they're just really like it's quite intense intense all the time and I ended up like being annoyed every time they showed up and for a last season that's kind of a letdown yeah I agree okay let's go into one James can I'm never I'm never gonna watch Pro Jack Orson what how do you

perceive the show from from your level and just depressing and I can't have that in my life yeah yeah I just I'm not not ready for that stuff but do you not think um that's kind of what makes it good though as well yeah but it's a feeling i don't want i know it's in its intended like purpose as a form of art but like because the point is to kind of like help help you you know it makes you feel like you're not alone in it as well as like a sort of dismantling the idea of like fame and that yeah that horrible industry yeah um but everyone can relate to a lot of the character i i really related to um diane a lot in the in the last season yeah yeah where she's like trying to write this book and

she just keeps procrastinating and just can't focus and get on with it yeah i really um identify with mr peanut butter he's he's the funniest character he's the best character in the show yeah his like story at the end as well is like my favorite really yeah yeah I was scared they were gonna do something with him and Diane

but I'm really glad they didn't yeah no it would have undercut the hole yeah it's just so well done I actually can't believe for something so silly for something that started so like rocky as well yeah like I remember watching the first episode

and just being like man Netflix, when are you ever going to have something good? Yeah. And you look at Netflix now and it's like, holy shit. I really think Will Arnett actually does a really good job acting in it. Yeah. I think it's actually kind of underrated. Like, his performance, his like voice acting is exceptional.

It's very good. But anyway, let's move on to this one from at Spooky underscore stuff. Opinions on Death Grips. The band. I listen to Grip, the death grip The death grip The death grip, I listen to them I've only listened to one of their albums all the way through

Which is the famous one Yeah the famous, what's it called it, the Money Store Which I really like, actually, no I remember a few years ago I tried and I was like, this isn't really clicking of me right now But I don't know, I like it now Yeah, I like it as well but like I've tried

hopping into their other stuff I have as well and like they they just went a bit too far in some places really yeah I think the the only shop is like

the perfect mix of what they are and it's just like I can really get done with some of it but some of it's just like nah but I listen to them on a regular basis it's a part of my big shop yeah I find that like

when I'm in the mood for them I'm really in the mood for them and it's like This is really, like, just the right energy. There's this one song that is incredibly good. Which one? The Fever AA. Yeah.

I think that's their best song. Really? Yeah. Hack is good. Not as good. Hackers, I'm, that's, hack is my favorite. Yeah, like, but you're wrong. And I'm not.

I've never listened to one you've meant, actually. So, well, there you go. Yeah. The only thing that, and it's a me issue, I'm aware of this, but. um the the vocals are such where sometimes i find it hard to tell what is being said and that and to me i i like being able to hear what the lyrics are so i can kind of figure out what the song is about a little bit um yeah or sing along or something yeah i'll sing along i suppose i'd have to just get the lyrics up and read them and listen to it on repeat until they just

had it in my head but have you ever had that thing where like you've listened to a song loads of times and there's just one bit where you've always heard it is one thing and then you read the lyrics and it's something completely different. Yeah, I've had that loads of times. That always pisses me off. It makes me feel like such an idiot. Yeah, yeah.

You're like, how did I hear it that other way? Yeah. The first time. Yeah, and once you know what it actually is, it's like, oh. Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Yeah, I'll I like them. I'll get to them eventually. So there are some of their other stuff but

on uh yeah on spotify i just realized like loads of anime albums have been added to a spotify what's like soundtracks yeah ghost in the show they're getting a bit better for that like there was a time where any remotely obscure kind of uh soundtrack was not on there but like everything that's being released like now like the music normally goes on netflix

like that witcher song is on there you know like you don't to um just games there's so many game soundtracks on Spotify it's crazy yeah it needs to be there so enjoying Spotify is still like the best subscription thing I don't like subscription services like every month for Netflix Spotify is definitely one of them Spotify is probably the subscription service I get the most like value out of like from use because I use it every day I don't use Netflix every day yeah true I don't use Amazon Prime every day it's the only want to use every day. Yeah.

Like, it would be very weird for me to not use it in a day. Jared 19 at Deluxe Distrate. Says this. In an old episode, someone asked what Jamie's thing was. James has his car, Alex has his Lego, and Ruben has his film studies.

What is Jamie's passion? We haunted this at the time. It's a weed load animation. It's life, man. Your passion is life. Yeah, man. Yeah. Your energy.

You're just reading the force around you. Yeah, my passion is energy. Your passion is fruit. Passion fruit. What's your specialty? No, it's a question, because I've never, obviously known you two for ages, and it's like I've never been able to pinpoint it.

Why does somebody need a thing? Why does somebody need a box? to put themselves in. It's not need. It's just like, it's just curiosity. It just means things you like. Yeah.

Things that make you wake up one and go, yes, I'm happy being alive. Life, yeah, okay, that's fine. I get that. I would say, surviving. Like a snake.

My passion is surviving. Jamie is very real when it comes to surviving, to be fair. This is a little tangent, but there was a really funny, comment I read because we've had this ongoing thing

about Doom 2016 and Jim not liking it and they were like the only reason Jim doesn't like Doom 2016 is because it doesn't have any reload animations it does have a reload animation actually the super shotgun or whatever oh yeah so that was one like the reference to

the original I remember finding that I did find that a little bit the short of Sordoff has one yeah that's the one I'm talking about I did find it a little bit disappointed when I was that game like it i feel like a really satisfying like crunchy reload would be awesome for like a like a game like that that's all about like sound and like movement yeah yeah but i mean i understand in the design why they they aren't there yeah absolutely and it probably would

make that game worse if they were there but i mean it would be pretty hard to make that game worse it's my fault for bringing it up i'm sorry do you have you not noticed something doom Skyrim Fallout 76 It's all Bethesda games I love Fallout 76

Yeah the reloads are just fantastic in that game I'm not even gonna joke about that Tom at Futuristic Bagel asks At school slash meeting new people You often have You often have to tell us a fun fact

about yourself What was your answer Oh no no I'm getting here the wave of cringe I can't answer this no go on tell us

I'm not no it we've we've all said cringe thing I said I fucking tell the truth about Narnas okay if I can tell the truth about Narnas you can tell the truth about your

cringy tell me one thing about yourself because mine was easy I'd just say oh I was born in New Zealand that's why I'd say there's nothing interesting about me though like

not now back then it was just like but what would you say then? I don't know. It's in your head, no, you're lying. It's in my head. Say it.

Say it. No. Do it. Do it. I got a 162 kill-streaking cod. Which today, even today, pro players don't even get. That's how good I was. I'm not saying it.

I can't handle the cringe that I'm going to give everyone. Because I worded it completely incorrect. it completely incorrectly because I was dumb. Can you please say? I like war. Oh, is that your, is that the one set? Interesting, like, interest. No, so what you meant was you like history?

I like history and like machines, like war, like, because that's the stereotype is that like, guns. The only part of history that boys care about is like the war. Yeah, yeah. You know, the tanks and the torture devices and growing bamboo through people and stuff like that. You know, the fun stuff.

You know, the actual interesting stuff. But I just worded it correctly, and the teacher was like, we acted really weirdly, so I got really embarrassed. Like, oh, we're like, how do I explain? I like war. I just, I like tanks. I like machines. And I, I cringe to this day. It was really bad.

That reminds me when I first got Yahoo! The first question I asked on Yahoo! Who answers was, hello everybody. Where's the best place to find good high-res people? pictures of weapons. Because there sounds so much worse than the innocent thought process in my head because I was in like year

seven and I was obsessed with like designing like fantasy characters and giving them like swords and axes and like, you know, dorky stuff like that. So I was like I need some like ideas for like weapons. So of course I asked that I know who answers with not enough detail and all the questions were like what? What's kind of science? Oh, are you?

As if you're like planning a terrorist attack or something. Yeah, who answers? Oh, I miss Yahoo! Answers every day. You had a reassurance with that, because you went back years later when you were your funny self and would ask really dumb questions. I wish... I was banned, so I wish I, like, had screenshots

from some of the stuff I'd asked on there. That's just a fragment lost, I suppose. It's unbelievably funny, though. Power Couch at Powell underscore Couch says Serious question, for real. Will you ever release the old R&L videos? Yeah. Yeah, sure.

What about like the Batman one? We're not in it. What's wrong with the... What do you mean? None of it in it. Batman. All of Jarre and... Oh, I'm thinking of the other Batman videos.

Hello, no, no, no. Those videos. No, I'm thinking of the live action one. where Jim's Batman I'm the ventriloquist the ventriloquist yeah your Kirk uncle quark no Reuben was the riddler yeah and Matthew our ex friend is uh the the Joker he was the Joker yeah yeah man ironically I'm not ashamed of those videos I'm not I'm not ashamed but like to me they're not for people to see then they're not for other people that they're like

hours. They are like, they were made for us. Yeah, that's fair enough. That's fair enough. Yeah. Is it part of our history? Yeah, like, the old one we've released, like, fart breakfast. Nothing to be ashamed of that.

Yeah, there is one to be ashamed of, and it's nothing to do with me, and it's nothing to do with James. What, the Minecraft? Yes. Yeah. That is actually, like, peak, we should. shouldn't you were both there

you were recording it like standing there like looking at each other like dude no am I thinking the machinima we tried to make no no no no the other micawf one

wait there were two no there was the machinima there was never like anything no it was something I went really far I wrote a script I wrote a script And then

Yeah We were like Bobbing the heads in like I remember thinking like We're gonna get so rich Yes Yeah like This is gay

But if it works We're gonna be like Mega rich No yeah Because I was I was just like In YouTube A like algorithm mindset Like Minecraft is everything right now

Yeah yeah Let's ride the Minecraft train Yeah You know Ride the Minecraft train but like use what they did with red versus blue yeah yeah yeah and but this other mindcar video it's it's unbelievable it's the funniest and worst video ever made

it's so bad yeah it is it's actually like I think I think Ruben would fly to fucking New Zealand if you see yeah because those who don't know it's me and Ruben just being really cringy for no minutes no it's like one minute long who's more embarrassing me or Ruben Ruben It's pretty

It's pretty Yeah it's It's really bad man It's really bad No I want people to see it though That's the one I want people to see Because it's just like I don't want people to see it for

The sake of you guys Because I have empathy No but it's just like It's a good thing because we went from that To this It's a good like This is what we we were it's like a straight line

you know we're just modern Minecraft idiot I don't know I don't it doesn't I'm not that ashamed of it because like I don't think you are I think Ruben is

it's particularly bad for suicide you'd commit sepacu if that's somehow he would bring a lot of dishonor to his family both yeah yeah no you would yeah but I have the philosophy

though where it's like if you you've done it like it exists why pretend that it didn't you know like even like all the terrible videos i've uploaded in the past like some some creators like they get ashamed of their old stuff they take it down like we did with like that Minecraft video for example but from a certain point i like just leaving it up to show some kind when when you are like a child yeah because we were children when we made that video yeah like I'm fine with that

like people don't need to see that yeah because it represent us at all kids are cringy and we were kids being cringy and recording it yeah it's the kind of thing that like it would have been doing in like the 90s of like video cameras and stuff but it would just be on a tape in someone's garage yeah yeah it wouldn't be on the internet so we say this

all the time man but I feel sorry for these kids growing up like all of their cringiness being documented from the age of like eight on on uh you know like ticot compilations and all that yeah because yeah exactly all of our younger cousins are getting to that age now where they're starting to use social media and it's like well this is so weird it's so weird because you're always just babies in my mind and now it's like the bad thing is the because of how the internet is now they can't really reset themselves like I managed to actually reset all of my online stuff at like a point like I got I delete like erase the fucking cringe from my life yeah how are young people gonna do that now with the internet the way it is just keep your social

media accounts on private no do you know how they actually do it oh they use it so often that you would have to scroll so far yeah to go back and see all the cringy shit I suppose that's one thing is like and everyone uses Snapchat yeah I suppose well Instagram as well Yeah, Instagram Like gets rid of stories and shit Isn't it? Unless you save them Hmm

What does have we got here? What is the point of the story on Instagram? Yeah, you just post updates What was the first thing to have like stories? Facebook But like what is the point? Was it Facebook? Because one of them did it

And then they all just copied it, didn't they? was it snap wasn't it snapchat yeah i'm pretty sure snap yeah snapchat invented it and then everyone else stole it even like WhatsApp has it that's the one i don't understand i don't understand it at all like no i understand it for like advertising on instagram it makes sense instagram i don't understand why not just do a normal like post like yeah because it's just like a temporary thing isn't Right, right. But why does it need to be... No, I can understand.

It's like, okay, this is going to be specific to me and the groups I'm in, but it's like... For example, I go to a certain track with my car. I can take pictures. I can take ten pictures, and I can put it in a group album on the story. So it's on my profile, click like, 2010 at this event, and I can have a recap for all the pictures. So then you're not filling your feed, your actual profile of all the pictures. That works. There is some logic to that, yeah.

It's just like you can document, like, each track you've gone to in the year. So it's like a story almost of all the places you've done with pictures. But if on your actual profile, you're not going to have that organisation. That's what I use that for. Because I have, like, Gaius, I have, like, a lot of them. But that's not your main story, is it? That's like an added one. But you, to get to do that, you have to add that to your main story.

So at the time, it's the main story. you make a highlight later on. I just can't be fucked without that shit, man. And obviously, that's only going to be specific to my group where that's the stuff I do. I feel like that's the way to use it, though. Like if you're an Instagrammer type. We have a good one here from Robin. What the fuck was that?

What is that? I just got a notification on my phone and it was, you know, sometimes your phone makes like a slideshow. with pictures. Yeah. It was called Fluffy Friends. It was like, what the...

Oh, just pets. And swiped it, and it started this slideshow, and it was just a picture of argue with that music. Robin is doing fine. At Extra Small Robin says, what would it take for you

to sell your soul to the devil? The opportunity to live. Right, what? Say that again? Big fat ass. So you'd sell your soul to the devil so you could have like a really plump ass. I've got a plump ass anyway. I would sell my soul to the devil if I got to go to heaven.

Right. So in your mind, because the devil is confirmed to exist, that means that there is probably some religious kind of truth. Yeah. You want to make sure you've got your place in heaven. Yeah. That's not about, that's being smart. That's a good investment of you.

So what's yours then? James. Oh, wait, can I do a different one? Of course. I'll sell my soul to the devil if I get the next two souls that he buys from people. No, that's not fair. He'd be like, no, bitch. No, but what if he gets like some scummy souls that aren't worth as much as my poor soul?

Mine would be, I'd sell my soul for a Mr. Gold minigure mint condition. Um, yeah. A Just Too Good has one. He actually managed it. I'm joking. Wait, Just Too What? Just Too Good, the Lego YouTuber, legendary Lego YouTuber. Hello?

Hello? Does he actually have a mint condition? He actually has Mr. Gold, yeah. He went around like finding the bags, like feeling the bags, and he actually did it. He fucking did it. He found Mr. Gold. I don't know. I tell

Would you sell your soul If you could Like promise the The The Safety of the world For example No

No Yeah So you wouldn't sacrifice your soul For the greater good As it were I'd sacrifice my soul for jar Yeah How

Like how So we're bought out by a Betz website and they're going to close jar and the owner of the Betz website is the devil and they're satisfied with your soul instead of the channel. Yeah, it's like cuphead. But then, I suppose there are

two Js so there'd still be a J that could live on your memory. Well, I'm not saying I would die. If you'd have no soul, you'd be a husk. You'd be the husk of jar. Yeah, but that would make a good like jar prop. You're this weird shriveled husk. No, but he still be like the exact same, but

just like empty. Do you remember when Bart sells his soul in The Simpsons? And he doesn't find things funny anymore. Oh, yeah, I remember that episode that really like freak me out. Yeah, he gives his soul to Millhouse, doesn't he? Like, he writes on a piece of paper. Yeah, some of these true house of horrors, like, were kind of

freaky. Like, the concepts were quite, like, I don't think that was even a tree house of horror, was it? I'm pretty sure it was a new one, normal, really? It was just a normal episode. He writes, like, my soul, and he trades it. Oh, you're right, yeah. And then he actually, like...

No, there's that classic episode with the hair transplant that's, like, alive. That's awesome, that one is funny. Yeah. Yeah, how we get snakes' hair. Yeah. There's some golden Simpsons' episodes, but... Simpsons used to be awesome. Are there any Simpsons questions before we finish?

Um, who's the best Simps and family member? Uh, Maggie. Lisa. What? Say Marge, go on. Homie! Marge! Um, well, that's the end of the episode.

We hope you had a good time. Fellow simps. Yeah. Please, family guy, go myself. On that note, thanks for tuning in. supporting the show on Patreon and iTunes we'll see on the next app

Marge Homie Hey!
