I'm really ill.
I've come down with this thing called the COVID virus.
I don't know if you've heard of it.
Do you think that's funny to joke about?
Well, everyone's got COVID at the moment, so maybe.
Good afternoon, morning, evening, all night, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to this episode of the Jiam Media podcast.
It is episode 321-2161.
I can't see the phone.
It's fine, no, I'm going to see.
Fucking idiot.
Today I am joined by Alex.
Hi, I've got, wait, hang on.
Before you introduce Jim, I just want to say, bleedy, bleedy, crusty, creamy.
Einy weeny, bonvini.
And Jamie's here.
A big thank you to the Patreon's over Patreon.
They've recently received a new video early of our review of Halo.
Yeah, which should be up for everyone.
now if you're listening to this yeah it'll be up on the YouTube channel we've got
some other videos in the works and uh give us a like on a Spotify Patreon iTunes and
SoundCloud um how are we doing today folks I'm feeling good I like I'm recording
the cast this time of the day you know it's quite strange for my routine
because it is currently a Thursday morning we're recording on a Thursday
more midday Thursday afternoon what's your honest opinion honest breakdown of this
Thursdays.
Um, they're shit.
Where it lies in the week.
I think there, they shouldn't even be.
They, what's, what, they should be plucked out?
What utility does a Thursday have?
It's, it's, it's, it's kind of a necessary evil because Monday, Monday's like, oh.
No, Monday's like, no, shut up.
Um, I think we've discussed this before, but like, Mondays are quite good.
Mondays are the best day of the week.
Now, Thursday's the good tea day.
Tuesdays can go bite one, you know?
Yeah, Tuesdays are shied.
Why Tuesdays?
It's not the midway point, it's not the beginning, it's not the end, it's just fucked.
It's limbo, it's the limbo day.
No, that's Thursday.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, no.
No, the worst of anything is penultimate.
No, I disagree because on Thursday, when you're in work, you're thinking,
tomorrow's like a half day, because most people leave work early on Friday.
So you're like, oh, this is the last.
full day. Slackers leave early on a
Friday. Yeah, fucking part-timers do work on
a Friday, Thursday. Actual
people that work hard and
trying to get that house at the age of
20. You mean
35?
65.
Ever? Before death, maybe.
No, the people really grinding hard
putting in the hours. Put in the
work, put in the hours and take what's ours?
And taking what's theirs.
They're the ones staying
late till Thursday and coming in Saturday. And coming in
Saturday.
I'm not on Sunday.
Saying in late Friday.
Then working from home on Sunday, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then reset on Monday.
And that's how it should be.
We should all be drones,
um,
not thinking about anything apart from,
um,
generating wealth for the,
so that we can buy a house,
die and have the majority of the wealth we've earned.
Go to the government.
Yeah.
So they can spend on their mates.
This is an awesome, like, awesome grift you got going to never.
good idea yeah it's called um politics baby just don't don't work hard for yourself work hard for
your boss's bonus that's that's the grind grind set mindset yeah you're still you're still
benefiting so yeah work hard make sure your boss can buy another Ferrari mm-hmm yeah while
you struggle to pay rent yeah fuck you work hard play hard die hard no work hard never play hard
Work hard, never play, watch die hard once a year
And then die
Softly
In Minecraft
No, I think you'd rather die hardly
Dying softly is like on a bed of feathers
In a mansion, dying hard is like
I wouldn't be surprised if like Bruce Willis is in
Die Hardly, that's like the next one
Hardly Die
Hardly Die
Bruce Willis Hardly dies
In Die Hardly
In the new one
Let's do some housekeeping
Okay
We made like a bunch of mistakes
In the last episode
No
When do we ever
Um
No but this is the whole
Squadron
For why we need
Housekeeping
To correct your mistakes
To correct my mistakes
What do you mean
What do you mean
What do you mean squadron
This is the whole squadron
Why we have housekeeping
I'm just trying to
That's a good title episode
What squadron
A good title episode
Oh
Title of an episode
we are actually speaking of title episodes
last episode was kind of
named like the the piss episode
the yellow episode
because the white balance was like just fuck for some reason
so I had a yellow tinge to it
and made it look like a
like a movie from the mid 2000
it kind of looks like how your vision is after you piss in your face
yeah Will Varley left a comment saying
we've entered the yellow era of jar
opens with a piss story too
yeah it did
it was a nice like
a pink floyd album like loop to the last episode
for those paying attention
how
I don't know you're on about
those who know they know
if you know you know
yeah I suppose
um there was this one
probably the most controversial thing was
the James bet and how he's like
just trying to get out of it in any way he can
you upset the jarlings
like Kane's the name
um he said I'm of the belief that
If James refuses to pay based on the idea he didn't choose his words carefully enough,
that's on him for putting money down on a statement he didn't truly want standby.
The bet was made and James must honour the bet, or he'll never be trusted on a bet again.
James simply has to take the ale and be more careful next time.
Stonkin pod is always, lads.
Yeah, I've, you know what, I agree with this one.
After some thought, because initially I didn't, initially I was on James's side, I will admit,
But after the arguments put forward by this lovely jarling, I'm inclined to agree, James.
How do the jarlings know it hasn't been settled behind closed doors?
Because I've said it's not been settled, and Alex is moderator.
No, no, no, Alex has been paid off by you.
Alex hasn't received, I'd happily pay him off if I'd get paid off by you,
as in you settle the bet that you made and shook on.
Well, because, no, because this wasn't settled at Amica Blue, they're kind of asking for blood now, the jarlings, like Pepsi man for Smash says James made the bet.
He says he meant to say something else, but the fact is he didn't, and that's his responsibility.
He should pay the money and possibly pay extra and damages for contesting the bet in the first place.
Well, this is my exact point, because I'm of the belief that I could take James to court and take way more than 50 pounds.
In fact, I could ruin James's life.
I could ruin James's life.
A handshake is binding.
A handshake is...
It holds up in court.
So if I get a lawyer, and it would be a good lawyer,
I'd take you to court, then I'd get a settlement of, I don't know,
something small, like a couple tens of thousands or whatever.
But then you'd have to pay the lawyer fees.
um the footage is blowy enough to get the fake out so
well about this was probably the most extreme one from hoodie james i think overall
duty or negligence towards the bet the jarlings have all colloquially agreed that you now owe
alex and jim 100 pounds each to compensate for the overall damage costs no me 200 pounds why
do you get anything well because i'm moderating here and i feel like to be fair i'm doing
pretty good job so you're kind of like the lawyer and james is to yeah yeah straight up i'm
lawyer, Alex, this episode.
Okay.
Lallix.
I'll be the most truthful and trustworthy yet.
Nice.
You know what?
The power of the people is you,
the jarling. So I say,
no, not you.
You're not a jarling. You're an A.
So just keep your voices being heard and
don't let injustices like this
going on throughout the world, but this at the moment
is the most important one. This injustice is
outweighs everything else that you can concern yourselves about
in terms of putting yourself towards a cause that matters
I want your voices heard
I need you to make this man understand
the mistakes he's made and he needs to make them right
I'll just buy you a cabab it'll be fine
50 quibcabre be a big ass cabab
I'm just going to like really quickly
rattle through a few mistakes
from the last episode just to just put it out there
address it, get it done. Okay,
we're acknowledging Finland is not
in Scandinavia.
Right.
Scandinavia. Okay, I...
Fact-check that. I disagree.
I... No, but you, don't you just call
the, the, that, just...
If it's cold and has snow,
it's in Scandinavia. No, it's like a blanket term.
Because if you, if you say
Scandinavia to someone, they're going to shoot,
they believe that Finland is in
Scandinavia.
Why? It's just Amazon.
Shall I go get it?
Yeah, if you want.
Yeah, unboxing episode
I'm not giving you that 50. Why?
No, I'll give you the 50 pound when I have 50 pounds a spare.
No, but you could have 50 pounds a spare, but you'll never make 50 pounds a spare.
Oh, of course I do. I always have 50 pounds a spare.
Okay, give me 50 pounds.
Sure.
I'll buy you cock instead.
No.
Fucking Bezos.
It was Amazon
What was it?
It's actually the
like
Ethernet sputter in the cable
Oh sick
Oh shit yeah that's cool
That's cool
I think that's gonna come up later actually
So
Scandinavia is a blanket term
Used by basically everyone
To refer to that part of Europe
Just take the lot
No no no no
No I'm standing my ground on this one
No because it's like
If everybody
Everybody assumes
The Finland's a part of Scandinavia
I don't
Even if it's not, it's just like everyone believes that.
So it might be actually false, but as a blanket term, it works and it's fine.
No, I like your point.
If it's wrong and it's proven to be wrong, but you believe it's right, then it's right.
Anyway, I said I was going to rock it through these, but we just spent like five minutes.
No, we need to stand our ground.
Yeah, but this is exactly what I was talking about when you've got to stand up for the things that matter.
Yeah.
Max Jones says Sony is multiple times the size of Activision, by the way.
yeah whatever i'd like to disagree with that now i will disagree with that because you
literally google sony's value how much is sony worth how much is sony worth like fiver
so sony corporation well it was on a link i saw that was like worth less you sure it wasn't
place that jim count him down he's got five seconds three two four out okay um so
Sony has a market cap of
143 billion
Which is
It's obviously more
143 billion
But that's a market cap
And Microsoft market cap is 2.27 trillion
No but it was Activision, not Microsoft
We were saying Activision
Yeah, but no, but Microsoft bought
Activision and their market cap is...
This is a great example of James once again
moving the goalposts just lost
Yeah, I was wrong.
I did not fact-check
the one website I looked at that showed
that Sony's
fucking value is less than Actvision
I'm sorry
I'm not an econominist
We were saying about
McDonald's and KFC skins
in Fortnite
Epic Man said they're not real
and they're not real
I fucking told you
Unnamed Channel said yeah the KFC skin isn't
KFC skin isn't real you goons
I never said it was
I forgot there was an option
that was
I did I not tell you
at the time
that they look fake
but that's the thing
though
it's like
they all look fake
to me
yeah
everything
what does it matter
anyway
yeah
just as
yeah
and like
at some point
you better believe
that shit's coming
yeah
um
juster's not Justin
says
which boss
did pyro dub
in secro
I can't seem to find
any info
now we're talking
about Hunt Down the Freeman
we mentioned
pyrocynicals in it
but we said
rice pirate
but that's who we're talking about
he's the one who's in Sekira
he does multiple voices
but I remember him
as lone shadow long swordsman
so just so people know that one
um
are there any other
there's yeah
that's the majority
this is just the cancellation episode
Jarm media yet again got things wrong
yeah addressing the allegations
um
who does it's like who you actually cares
it's like we're not spreading false information
here when we're talking about
no i just it's like the whole reason i like the whole housekeeping segment it's like
we can just quickly address like no but that's the thing it's like how many friend groups out
there routinely say things that are wrong and they never get addressed because that's kind of
what you do in your friend group when you just haven't fully checked something it's just a normal
fucking thing to do and it's just because we're on youtube that's like oh there people see that
we're wrong about everything yeah but i guess um when they're like thousands of people
I'm just saying I don't want Spotify to remove us for misinformation, okay?
Let's pivot into topics then.
Dennis can kind of get this going with this one.
Free guys nominated for Best VFX Oscar.
I can't speak today.
God is real.
The VFX in that movie is shit.
Um, yeah.
Yeah, so the Oscar nominations came out.
And because I guess Disney owns Free Guy and they own the Oscars.
free guy is Oscar on it now
um cool
good job free guy
well it hasn't won so like being
it's not gonna win
but even being
nominated no but nominated
no but nominated means nothing as you just said
if disney bloody own the Oscars then
it being Oscar nominated
means nothing but it never
has it's always been a circle jerk
system then yet then it means nothing
to anyone
but it does
not to me yeah because Hollywood
is a circle jerk system
it just means Ryan Reynolds is going to
get even more roles he already is
as a CG animator
no but is rednotes Oscar nominated at all
I didn't see it there unfortunately
surely it is that was a big miss
it's better than free guy
but how
yeah it's so annoying
because I didn't think
the VFX were even like very good
in that movie
they're like good in terms of
just sheer
technicalities
but in terms of like an actual
I mean I guess they succeeded in making it look like a video game
or a CG trailer for a video game
but I don't think that's really worth
yeah they didn't they didn't show anything like
like in a subtle use
of VFX is always going to be better
like the shit in a ex-marketer
where it's like parts of her are missing
yeah or it's up against Dune was also
nominated the best and
I feel like just because of the scale
of it and
yeah how what they actually did with those visual
effects I feel like
it's like night and day putting them next to each other
yeah both both technically
and just from like
an aesthetic standpoint
Dune wins
yeah it's one of it's
probably the most standout one of the
since that like suicide squad winning
best makeup that actually won didn't it
that went ahead and
really
I'm pretty sure
Or maybe it was
I can't remember
I've never
I take pride in the fact
I've never watched an Oscars
Yeah
I've seen like clips obviously
In like YMS's videos
Adele Dizim
Yeah that's all you need to know
Um
We haven't
Man I've got a few things actually
No I've got a story first
Yeah
I've been saving this
A little anecdote
This COVID was
so shit because we didn't have like any anecdotes
because we weren't going anywhere
we weren't doing anything you couldn't leave
so it's nice to have like anecdotes starting to
trickle in
on Monday after
I took James somewhere
Monday morning for work
I went into town and got my hair cut
I was chatting with my hairdresser
and some wacky topics came up
but it was just I was not anticipating
and it made for a very exciting haircut
um
yeah
try and guess what he's
what do you think it's in the realms of what do you think came up NFTs I mean yeah pretty
much um so somehow we got on the topic of like cryptocurrency and then um
dogecoin came up like no my hairdresser was like talking about dogecoin to me
um and then it shifted to sheba coin uh or whatever it's cool it's shiba coin it's
Yeah, I think so.
New Sheba, I don't know.
It's called, like, yeah.
And he was saying all this about how, like, he's in the Shiba army and, um, he has got, like,
thousands of pounds in Shiba.
Fuck.
But I was just like, am I, like, dreaming?
This is, like, just crazy.
I can't believe, like, my hairdresser, he's like a 50-year-old man.
Yeah, yeah.
He is a very cool guy, though.
He is a cool guy.
Yeah, he's awesome.
No, because in my previous job,
I knew a guy that was like big into crypto shit,
and he has a Shiba.
Mm.
And he'd always talk about Shiba coin and shit.
Do you know, have you ever heard of the Shiba Army before?
No, I've never heard of the Shiba Army.
I've never heard of them refer to themselves like that.
Yeah.
I was kind of just paralyzed and, like,
trying to discern what was reality
at that point
because it's all just like bleeding together
yeah it's weird
when you spend time on the internet
you you have to accept at a point
that it's two different worlds
reality and internet reality
and all this talk of NFTs
and crypto and shit
like in my mind that is
internet reality
but then when somebody brings it
into the other realm
when worlds collide
as it were
it's like a shock to the system
it's really quite bizarre
yeah
and on kind of a similar note
if we're bringing up NFTs
they've like
ape iconography
is like just forever ruined for me now
or at least in my current brain
I can't not
because I watch sing too right
and there are like ape characters in it
and they all look like
fucking NFTs I'm telling
and I was at a certain point
I was like oh this is like the NFT movie
in a way
like it all the characters
kind of look like NFTs
how
how long or how far
do you think this NFT's
gonna go
because it's like we've already had
It's here to stay man
We've already had that crappy
Bored ape NFT
cartoon show
that was
Yeah
I was like
getting shit for his
NFT
Eric Andre has an
NFT
yeah do you not see this
because they're posting
it on his Instagram
and stuff
then you've got
another NFT show
and then you've got
the NFT games
we've had
like a jar
NFT bro
like a message
trying to defend them
and explain them
to us
is it worth getting in
no
no I'm not
because the thing of
NFTs
they're like
my Facebook now
is basically
loads of push
that NFT
adverts and it's all like if you get in now you know jake paul's just gone on on these nfts
it's basically telling you who's going to profit from you getting involved like tylopez is
doing some shit with nfts yeah yeah and it's so obviously a scam but there's so many people
who are stupid enough to fall for this and this idea that you're somehow going to get make loads
of money from these nfts they're just pyramid schemes you're all going to buy in and you're
just giving the the one percent already have money more money
I think they're stupid
I don't like NFTs
but loads of people have misinformation
about NFTs right
because there's the whole
environmental damage
but it's like
not
it's not 100%
like if you buy an NFT you're not
damaging the environment
it just costs a lot of energy to mint
these NFTs
and I think loads of people hate them
for stupid reasons
when you should be hating them
for the fact that they're scamming you
and they're just
Pyramid schemes.
Speaking of, have you seen the amount of games that have, like, tried to include some sort of, like,
NFT skins or whatever?
Ubisoft was, like, pushing something.
Yep.
Yeah.
So many have.
And then a day later, they'll be like, okay, no, we're not.
We're stopping that.
Yeah, there's always backlash.
Yeah.
There was one where in the same day they announced it.
I think it was worms.
Yep.
Well, really, worms NFTs.
Yeah, the worms developers were like, right, we're excited to announce we're doing NFT.
and everyone was like, what, what?
You're like a small studio that stands for, you know,
independent making these funny little games.
And now you're trying to, like, make money off of these 1% fucking bullshits.
And so they immediately were like, no, we're not doing it.
And I'm wondering if it is a PR stunt to be like,
see, we listen to the public, yeah.
See, there's different kinds of entities.
There's these companies just making these,
NFT images, but then there's like people like
Ubisoft who are minting
gear in game as NFTs?
Yeah. So you can buy these stupid
helmets and like I think
Ubisoft with one of the ghost recons, they like made
300 NFTs and like six of them
sold and they made huge fucking
losses on all of these NFTs
because nobody bought them, which is good.
That's what I want to see. I want to see Ubisoft
I don't understand. Like does this mean
like if you buy an NFT in a game
like you're the only person that has
that skin or helmet away?
because it is skins it's like NFT cosmetics in game but you don't but what's the
point of it then no no there's no point in NFTs at all because what is the difference
between buying an NFT skin in a video game compared to just buying the skin in a game
yeah we've been doing this for like fucking years yeah like we're already giving the money
for pretty much nothing yeah like when they turn the servers off for a game you spend
macros in
like and if it's an online game
like apex legends in like 30 years
yeah
you know
yeah it's just money
like you are spending money
on something invaluable
the opposite of invaluable
well yeah if it's like destiny too
it's like
can just go
the shit you bought
experience you bought
I guess the idea of NFTs
is like
well this thing won't go
because it has an inherent value
on the blockchain
so even when the servers go
you'll still own this item
on the blockchain.
It's like the images, nothing matters.
It's just the fucking numbers in the blockchain.
You're paying like a couple G for a few numbers.
Who the fuck cares?
Who actually, those numbers have no value at, like any value at all.
I think this is, um,
it's, it's dangerous in that it highlights how worthless money is.
Like, we, we give money value.
We, we say this, this thing is worth this amount.
It doesn't have inherent value
So then if
It's like place in the market
Gives it value
Yeah
And that's kind of what it's like
It's meant to be the idea of like
Equivalence like you can buy this
For the same amount
You could buy 10 loaves of bread
Right so it's like cutting out the
Oh I have to give this person bread
What someone is willing to pay I guess is its value
And people are willing to pay
Hundreds of thousands for these NFTs
Yeah so it falls apart there
because like these things
they aren't worth
more than a loaf of bread
like a loaf of bread is a
resource that is inherently valuable
this number
isn't
this jarling that like left
some feedback about it or whatever
was saying that he's got like
this stone dap
NFTs or something that he's got this
like you somehow
like get kind of interest
on them
is. I don't really get it. There's another scam that it's quite heavy in the crypto world is that
you, like people message, you know, they'll try to get you in on these scams where you pay a certain
amount so you give them 500 and then they will return that 500 as like a thousand. So they want
you to keep buying the money until it's a point where you give them enough where they will walk away
with your money to, that's the scam. They're trying to get as much money from you so they can
fuck off and ditch you, so you've lost
100k or whatever. So it's a pyramid scheme. That's what
it is. So these NFTs, it's like, oh,
if you buy a stone-dapel NFT or
busty-sandy NFT,
you'll buy one of these. You've got
that, you've given us the money for
that NFT, so the longer you
hold that NFT,
we will pay you.
I don't understand it
and I don't want to understand it. I never will
I'm going to explain it. So you put
in five pound and because you're holding
that five pound NFT
they're going to give you like two pound every
month. Oh I want to talk about sing too
yeah so basically
it's a scam
invest in busty
sandy NFTs
give us 600,000 dollars
if you give us a hundred
a hundred we will give you a busty
sandy NFT nobody wants
them a physical but we'll print it out
and send it to you we'll give you physical
NFTs real value physical
The blockchain.
We'll just write a number on each one, one, Busty Sandy one, Busty Sandy two.
And we'll deliver them straight to your home, £600 each.
This is a great idea for a product.
And the thing is, it's not like, you're not going to lose your Busty Sandy NFT, because it's not on the blockchain.
Remove the blockchain and you've suddenly got things that are worth money.
Instead of a non-fungible...
It's a fungible, a completely functional token.
Yeah, CFD.
completely functioning
token
but still like
CFDs are a thing though
yeah CFDs is like stock market shit
yeah but even more confusing
I fucking hate money
let's remove money
let's just give people
the necessities they need to live
like food and health care
you fucking cunts
people
shouldn't be able to get items
everyone is assigned
a house at the age of
five eight
no five is ridiculous
at the age of eight
everyone gets her home
for themselves
and everything's free
yeah
you you put into the system
and you get the necessities
from the system
so if you go work in an office
you get bread by working
and you get necessities by working
yeah
I would do so much at the time
bread economy
the bread economy
that's what we need to revert to
That's how the world used to work
It used to be the bread economy
You hunt for the bread
And you gather for the bread
That's why people say making bread
Yeah
Right
Yeah
Bringing home that bacon
You know
Yeah bacon
The three
Bread is like a pound
A pound coin
One loaf is a pound coin
Right
Bacon is 50p
No bacon is more expensive
Pigs
Oh yeah
It requires pigs
Bacon is like a fibre
what's the other
cheese
no cheese is a fibre
bacon is a tanner
and then the
bacon
I feel like cheese is a two pound coin
yeah no I get that
I think but then it's getting too confusing
beef no beef is tan
I'm now it's too confusing
beef is ten
because beef is like a
nice thing
what if you don't like beef
so you've got your bread
you've got your bread
and you've got your bacon
and then you've got your beef
and then you've got eggs
50 pound note is a little chicken
Petty Poussaint.
Can I even talk about sing now?
No.
I thought you'd be swarming with questions.
No.
Brimming with them.
I'm assuming it's just sing one, but the two on it.
But more boringer.
More, like different songs.
Is Seth MacFarlane in it?
No.
This is what I mean.
It's more boring.
It doesn't have anything like that.
It doesn't have the...
Seth Macfarlane's in the first one?
He's the mouse.
He's the mouse who's like driving the mouse.
That's right.
Yeah, because he can sing and shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's another Elimination movie where, like, they just had, like, no idea how to make a movie.
So they made, like, four shorts and then just, like, strung them together, like, secret life of pets.
And then Bono, Bono, the Lion, comes in and sings lots of songs, and there's loads of singing and jovialness.
Cool.
The biggest standout to me was, like, you know, CG's improved a lot since that first thing, it's, like, five years.
they have instead of leaning into like the creative shit you can do with animation you know you can just like create anything literally anything yeah not grounded by anything the illumination approach is to be like let's just make this as realistic looking as possible there's a part where like a lizard character is driving like a red sports car through like a forest and it looks like uncharted four it's bizarre it's like completely realistic and like the physics of the car and
shit and the way it moves it's like this is like getting too far and like there's a cartoon character
what the that lizard character sorry i'm getting ahead of myself his eye pops out and it puts like
an apple in the hole but it's like a real looking apple it looks real it looks real it looks just
straight up real because like we're at that point yeah so it's like and it it was creeping me out at
points because it's like oh that that like the combination of those like weird looking cartoon
characters living in like it's just the same world as us they're like driving cars yeah they have
like cafes everything's just the same but they're just like animals but i i've seen a bit like a
very short bit of this movie and it looks to me like the frame rate is wrong or something no this
is i think it's a thing all the illumination movies have and i think and please if
anyone knows for sure put it in the comments because I'm super curious and I've always wondered about
this and I've only got theories yeah I think it's the equivalent of like putting motion blow on a
video game to like hide the frame rate I think it's like an equivalent thing to kind of like
but I was it looked to me like there was no motion blow it looks like you know on a TV when the
frame yeah yeah yeah when it's got the frame it is like a motion blow thing I think it's something
to do with that like the a way of saving on money as saving on rendering like less frame by frame
maybe it's like interpreting frames in between maybe yeah maybe it isn't interpreting thing yeah that's
what the TVs do right frame interpretation yeah there's some really rough looking shots and it's a
really ugly um super uninspired like frame composition and just like they just make the most
corporate animated movies ever yeah and they never fail to just do that every
every time.
And it makes me sick.
I love corporations.
I want to throw out Ghostbusters Afterlife as well for another shit film I watched.
The son of the original director made a Ghostbusters movie in 2021.
And it's just like throw away and has a Walmart product placement scene.
That's how the stay puffed marshmallow thing gets back.
It's like the Force Awakens like shit, you know.
It's like a soft reboot, but it's just kind of the original movie again
with all the same characters and shit again with like the fan service at the end
and the really tasteful bringing, bringing, I can't remember his name,
the one ghostbuster who's not alive anymore, Egon.
They bring him back in like CG and he has like a whole thing.
Because he's like in the opening of the movie but they kind of shoot it in a way
that hides his identity
you can tell who it is
and it's supposed to be him
but it's like
kind of more tasteful
in the opening scene
but then fast forward to the end
they just fully go in
on the deep fake
dead guys coming in
I guess some Star Wars already
did that
like they've
they've opened a can of worms
Pandora's box
is never to be shut
yeah
because we can talk about that too
because
I guess
Yeah
We're making fun of the book of Boba Fett
A few episodes ago
Yeah
And I'd like to say now that I've seen that episode
Rightfully so
That shit
Yeah
That's one lame
So lame
For those who don't know what we're talking about
We're making fun of the like
The mob
The mob bikes
Yeah
Yeah
The lame bikes
White bloom green
The like American graffiti
Reference thing or whatever
But yeah
It's really weird and lame
But now the book
of Boba Fett is finished
um
do you want to throw any
I don't know if we should do like
a
yeah as they say on X we have
for like Mando and shit
so maybe we should
keep this brief for now
but it's really bad
I liked it
overall
it's it's got issues
and the main issue to me
is going back to you
mentioning the Force Awakens
fuck that trilogy
yeah
I can't get that stuff out of my mind
Star Wars is genuinely
really damaged
and potentially
to a point of no return
Rogue 1 was really good
Rogue 1 was good
everything they've done in the space
between Force Awakens and
Jedi
Yeah yeah
Good every bit of content in that space
Good but knowing
This is the thing with a prequel
When it's a prequel it's like whatever
Yeah that happened before
We can focus on the new now
But now with the sequels
and especially having this stuff in between
it's really damaged by
knowing
oh, all this shit that I know
sucks is coming
and they can't work around it
unless they
pull some shit which they won't
because Disney's balls are too tiny
they're not going to just be like
oh no they're not canon anymore
which is I think the only thing they can do
to fix Star Wars for the future
I think their strategy in the short term
is to rely on the current, like, prequel love
and, like, Rogue One love sort of mindset
because the Obi-1, like, poster just dropped
as we record this, and it's coming out in May, that's confirmed.
So that's going to be crazy popular.
That's got my boy in, hasn't it?
Ewan.
What, Ewan?
No.
Not that boy, the other boy.
By Hayden.
Yes.
My boy.
Hayden's your boy.
I fucking love Hayden.
Doesn't it have Kumel in as well?
Really?
That's the best show.
Watch it.
Give it 10 star.
And the guy from Tokyo Drift
That's always eaten
Han?
Yeah, no Han is in it
Yeah
I'm gonna fucking love it
Yeah it's like formulated for James
This is crazy
There's a pod race in it as well
Oh could you imagine
If Han is giving
Obie 1 down bad
And he just turns to pod racing
And he meets Han
He starts betting
He starts betting on the pod races
Or something
Yeah
And Hans is addicted to death jokes
He's got a phone
Yeah
Like give me the whole arc
Of season one
Yeah
There's so much they could do with this.
But yeah, Star Wars is fucked.
But I think in the long term, they are very, very hyped about this deep fake technology.
Yeah.
Because I guess spoilers for Book of Bobba, they bring that technology back.
It's different to last, it's like vastly different.
They hired that guy who online was like improving it.
Yeah, yeah.
That seems to have done the trick because visually it looks so.
much better than it did at the end of...
Yeah, it's so close.
It's not quite there yet, but the most off-putting thing
is this like...
You know, the voice, I think, is like an AI-generated voice.
Really?
It's not even like a voice actor, I don't think.
That's like...
It's getting like wacky.
Yeah, but that, that then is definitely not there.
The voice stuff.
But yeah, I'm just thinking how many iterations
is it going to take till we just can't even notice that anymore?
And then it's game over.
Because then they can just...
make movies in that time period forever they don't they don't even need the actors to be
alive anymore i mean they already don't it's clearly their plan and then they're not
even going to need directors because they're just going to a i generate fucking movies yeah
what's going to happen is the people in the industry need to be like in their contracts
why you can't use my wise now but then but think about like harrison forward he loves money
he's gonna let them use his like AI generator
he doesn't have to do anything like Star Wars
Yeah he doesn't give a fuck
He doesn't give a fuck
But why would you say no to being like
Yeah just whatever
You know
Because you're damning entertainment to a dark age
It's gonna be fucked up when you can like buy
An actor in VR
And just like have them
Just have like Mark Hamill as your friend
Yeah
Hey Mark
People would love that though
I feel like if that was
an option available, people would be very, very excited by that.
It's like, it has a rock on jar.
Going back to NFTs, you've seen the shit that Troy Baker's announced?
Oh yeah, he's got an NFC company.
He's got like this thing where you can buy him.
He's like recorded enough voice.
Oh yeah, no.
Oh, fuck.
Buy his voice.
You can make him say anything.
And like devs can buy him to just like voice.
to just like voice a game
and he doesn't even have to do anything
he just gets money for it
No it kind of is shooting him in the foot though
Yeah because
He's fucking himself
All it takes is one rich
fucking psycho asshole
And then you got Troy Baker
Just screaming the M word all over the place
Markins cash quelly
Yeah what's to actually stop from that
How does that not just
spiral totally out of control
Oh it is
It will
And I think it's
I've always had a bit of
trouble with Troy Baker in games because it's like it's so so boring at this point it's like if Tom
Cruz was in every movie yeah it's like dying light two one of the main reasons I wasn't
that excited for dying like two was knowing that he's voicing the main character a guy named
aidan for whoa you're really fucking pushing the boat out there techland and so that that that
that is potential to get even worse and any respect I did have for Troy Baker which like he he he's a good
actor and he's done a bunch of really good performances but like that disrespect for the art form
that he's in like don't you want to have your personal touch on this shit or are you just
doing these games like dying like two and fucking final fantasy or whatever just for money
like you don't give a shit what the fuck is the deal um not to derail but um you've just reminded
me i i heard um like a a term for some of the like so
only exclusive games is like sad dad games that's just like really funny to me yeah
yeah it's like a trend going on there but anyway yeah I have one more thing to throw
out there if you guys don't mind we go to mid break um so that's like the shit I watched
on that other hand of that I'm watching something that's fucking so good so freaking good
Is it evangelicalian?
This is the shit I've been looking for.
No, I've been watching our succession, finally.
It's that HBO show kind of loosely based on the Rupert Murdoch family,
and it's in the name, like, who's going to be, like, the successor of the family,
and how they, like, betraying each other and fucking each other over
and just how vicious the corporate world is.
But the most exciting thing is that it's written by the creator of Peep Sheep's,
show who wrote in the loop in the season the show is of that as well and his iMdb is crazy i i
always forget his name but if you look at the writer of succession it's like this guy is someone to
keep an eye on because holy shit and it feels like there's a little bit of everything he's written
previous in it but it's like it's just elevated to the next level because it's like in a
it's in a drama now it still has the comment
comedy and like that awkward like you know in peep show where they have jokes that are just they make it feel so realistic and kind of like genuinely awkward and fucking so uncomfortable and the like humor that comes from that there's like loads of that in the show too and but also when it goes to the like serious like character drama it also works really well too and just like having it be a family as well like there's something about that that's just really relatable and when your story is just based around a family.
and how fucked up the family is, it's so
always interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just upset that
all the good shows are on HBO
and we can't access them.
Yeah, because I want to mention that.
To watch it, I had to
get an HP, sorry,
a Now TV, it's called here,
now TV subscription,
and it's the worst streaming service
I've ever used.
It's a fucking nightmare.
First, I used my seven-day trial,
and when I was watching it,
after paying,
like, why does it keep showing ads all the time?
Like, why after, like, every 20 minutes,
ads still playing?
Like, I'm paying for this.
Like, this is weird.
Like, no other, like, Amazon Prime doesn't really do that.
Netflix doesn't do that.
I'm talking, like, within the middle of the show,
like, you're just watching it on TV.
Mm-hmm.
And then I see, when I, like, a couple days later, go on,
there's a sub-subscription to let you stream in HD
and to not have ads.
Jesus Christ.
It's called, like, NowTV Plus.
basically some shit like that
and it's like yeah try that
for seven days free trial
yeah this whole system is
getting just out of hand
it's
it's weird the the market
for it is so bad that you kind of just
want a monopoly
like Disney just
Disney just buy everything
at least then I only have to subscribe to Disney
Plus at least with like Disney Plus
they they use their ridiculous
position as like
the wealth of their company
to build an app that at least works
to build something that works
because I've watched a lot of Disney Plus
on mobile and their app is like
kind of perfect
yeah yeah it's fine
it works seamlessly yeah I haven't had problems with that
the only thing I've had problems with on Disney Plus
like some subtitles are off now and again
but it's really not that bad
whereas on now TV
like if you want to
you can't even stream it natively in browser on PC
you've got to like download this app
in order it's like it's actually so shit
so I just wanted to
say fuck now tv and it's such a shame that it's locked onto there um unless you want to like buy
all the shows i guess on itunes but that's that's a british thing right now tv yeah now tv
and now tv ironically is owned by rupert no oh my god yeah in sky that's nuts but um if if it's a
british like streaming service or whatever it's gonna be shit like bbc i player i hate the
yeah it's the interface
what is it
4 channel 4
they've got like a
free streaming thing
it's got ads all over the place obviously
because it's free but like just using
the website fucking nightmare
British
British companies
especially like broadcasting companies
do not understand websites
yeah
yeah the BBC was like
we talked about this
like recently with the whole
TV license and shit
yeah yeah how like behind all that
was because that previously until they've like announced they're getting rid of it that was how
you'd watch like because BBC's free you don't have to pay yeah yeah right that was how
you'd watch like on streaming it's just if you had a TV license you're just allowed which means
BBC isn't free because you have to have a TV license to watch a TV license which is like
a couple hundred quid a year or whatever yeah yeah so I mean BBC's the oldest streaming service
that there ever was.
So yeah, shout out to that.
Good luck, watching it in the UK.
And we'll see you after these messages.
John Media shirts, now, or I'm going to hurt you.
Description below.
Four ply, four ply when I cry.
What, I'm looking on his Facebook page
unless he's posted about me.
Why are you doing that?
Why are you on Facebook? What are you doing?
I go on Facebook. I use Facebook.
We have things to do. We're busy men.
And you're doing the piss because you can't hold in because you're fucking child.
Push on the bladder.
I'm doing the classic poo test right now.
I need to poo, but it's making the car just fucking vibrant.
No, it's not.

Jamie!
Fucking Rich come from you, Brett.
No, because my...
Wine don't ever sound.

No, that's fucked.
Ooh, that's cool.
What?
That's fucking sick.
I hope the mic's picked up my fucking huge one.

Comrade Sean
has a real one for us. McDonald's
sometimes offer specific celebrity
meals like the Travis Scott
Burger for promotion.
What would each member's promotional McDonald's meal
look like? It would be a big mac of
the flavour.
Just bread.
Just three bits of bread.
Yeah, bread between two bits of bread
with bread under those
two bits of bread. So what mine would be?
Mine would be a breakfast special.
So it would be like a sausage
and egg McMuffin.
But with a hash brown in
and chili sauce.
It's like a spicy breakfast
hash brown muffin.
With the drink would be a...
Well, no, you can't choose the drink.
No, because it's a meal.
The Travis Scott meal.
It is a meal.
Yeah, but that's a meal as in the Travis Scott burger with a little Travis Scott toy and fries and drink.
Is that all it was?
I don't think I've seen pictures from the promotion.
Like what made it a Travis Scott burger?
Because the figure, I think.
It was like a little Fortnite toy.
Yeah, it was like a Fortnite burger.
That's what people were calling it.
The Fortnite burger.
Mine would just, mine would be a bag of carrots.
Mine would be, um...
The octo cheese
Octo cheese
No, octo cheese
With spice
Octopus cheese
No, it's eight patties
Each with the cheese in between
Oh, like the triple cheese
Yeah, right
It's just taking that
It's not called the triple cheese
It's called the triple cheese burger
Um, yeah the octo cheese
It'll be called
Actually you know, that's all it is
It's just eight patties with cheese
No bread
And it just
It comes on a box
It just says good luck
Yeah, but still
McDonald's patties are so thin
That bogo would be like this tall
Okay, they're like
The bigger ones they do
No, just call it an octo cheese double
So it's 16 patties
Yeah, an octo cheese triple
That's eight times three
That's what, 30?
24?
35 or something?
Yeah, 34
what would randies be
um nothing you get a meal you don't get anything
it would be um a melted mcflurry
and a drink with that's only ice
so basically your mcdonald's order
how's that my macdonald's order
a drink that's only ice
yeah it's like a deconstructed
mcflurry
um james house has one
for us. Does Alex ever plan to go back to his buzz cut
from episode 210 era?
I personally thought it was a fresh look.
Yeah, he does.
What are your guys' thoughts?
No. I'll let the gowlings decide.
I call it the, um...
Clay.
Yeah, the Clay Jensen era.
I fucking hate seeing myself in that era.
I look so strange.
Better now.
What do you mean? Because of the buzz cut?
No, I just look plumpy.
You do... You look broad.
You look...
Because I didn't want to be plumpy.
I was fat
You weren't
I was fucking fat
You were you talking
50 episodes ago
You were fat
Last year
You were fat
Yes
Well no
Yeah
Two years ago
This was 2020
Two years ago
50 episodes ago
Was 210
That was what
A year ago
Not even that
So yeah
You weren't
You weren't fat
It was in 2020
It was yeah
I was fat
I was most fat
In 2019
And then
was slightly
Less fat
In 2020
I remember getting a jar
question, I think it was when Alex
was away or something
I remember you saying it
but I was complimented on losing weight
so clearly I was fat
you weren't you've never been fat
never base yourself image on fucking YouTube comments
yeah
no that is my entire image
that's all I am
the only person that is me
is on here
then maybe
You should sort yourself out.
Because that's problematic.
Yeah, that James pulled out problematic as well.
The only thing that matters is how other people see you.
No, it's how you see yourself in the mirror.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, that's, that's true.
That's not true.
No, I'm telling you that, that's not true at all.
No, there's no such thing as the self, James.
Yes, there is.
The self is omniscient.
Omnipotent.
Oh, you beat me to it.
omnipotent
omnipotent
let me get my
omni gel for my
I'm omnipotent
Zitaka says the latest episode
episode 5 of The Apprentice is about gaming
it is so hilariously out of touch
and I think it would be funny to see your guys' reaction
game on
Wait what was the
The Apprentice
It's back on to you get a successful game
I think people like
I'm like farms
what is this like Mario
wait they're not American
others the British apprentice
what is this like sort of Mario or something
no British person says Mario
sorry let me try again
what is this sort of Mario or something
that's better
James do your best
posh accent
good afternoon
no just say the same thing I did
what is this sort of Mario
What is this some sort of Mario or something?
No, it's a posh, like really posh.
I can't do posh. I can't do anything.
You've got to say, what?
What? Is this some kind of Mario?
What?
I do believe this is some sort of Mario.
You did Mario.
I can't know.
What is this some sort of Mario or something?
Should we go down to Weatherspoons in our Land Rover?
You can't say Weatherspoons.
Tag along, dearest.
Let's go to Weather Spoons.
spoon. No, it doesn't work
with the weather spoon. It has to be like... It does work.
Rich people love going next. It's cheap.
Yeah, rich people love saving money.
Yeah. True. So they can oppress more fucking
of their staff. dumb cunts.
Comrade
Sean says, what are each
members, sorry, preferred
sleeping position? My guesses are
Alex, face down, flat, like
that one gimmick episode you did where you were on
the floor. Jamie, fetal position,
but like face down, knees and face on the bed,
ass in the air.
How's up?
James,
a family guy full position.
What's the family full...
What's the family...
I actually sleep in the family guy full position.
What's the family guy full position?
It's like...
A fuck sake.
It's like a pose.
Yeah, just Google it.
Like, family guy...
Not the broke...
I sleep like on my front
to answer this question genuinely.
Like, to be funny,
this guy's already nailed it.
I sleep like on my front with my one leg straight.
You mean that one?
Yeah.
I don't sleep quite like that
I sleep on my front
with one leg up
Yeah
I do I basically
I wedge a pillow in between my leg
We I like bunch up my duvet
So that my head is sort of on it
And so my arms are like supported
And I don't like like
My legs touching
Or my arms touching
In any way
You know?
Because that pressure like
Over time
When you wake up
you've like cut off the blood suck yeah yeah because when i woke up i i recently went to the gym
after not going for a long time and i busted up my arms and i'd slept with one arm on the other and
from busting up my arm plus that like pressure on it all night i literally couldn't extend my
my arm oh wow it was it was like locked and i had to like ease it back into being able to
work. It was like an
unoiled, um, robot
joint.
Whatever's comfortable.
Well, that's a fucking cop-out.
I know, because it's just like, it depends
on the weather. You sleep massively
varying by season.
Really? I do, yeah. It's like summer.
It's like, yeah, half my body is out
of the duvet. Yeah, but how, are you on your back?
Are you on your side? You...
I say I mostly like sleeping on my side,
sleeping on my side or on my chest face down.
because you move that
because you've got two pillows
because it's good
nice and comfy
you kind of misaline them
so you have your face down
and then like next to another fellows
it's like like that
face to face with a pillow
you're saying
yes you've got a pillow
you've got two pillows
so like with the pillows
cheeks and you're like
they're not like cheeks
as in one's there
then the one's there
so you slide the one on tops
and you can face down
on the one below it
but then you've still got the support
of the other pillows
it's really comfortable
so you're like
you're
your arms
by your side
yeah
perfectly
indicular
but the best place to sleep
is in the back of a car
that's the
I've had the best sleep
the worst fucking place to sleep
no because you sleep
you just lay down
like sideways
well stopping you from doing that
in your bed
you can lay down sideway
there's something particular
about sleeping in cars
I don't understand
it just is really well actually
I find it a lot easier
to sleep in a car
when you've been um
chloroformton stuffed into a boot.
Oh, that's the only way to be comfortable.
Nurgle Nemesis has an interesting one.
I was wondering what Alex thinks about the recent rise of React streamers,
since Alex hates React YouTubers.
There's been a bit of a kerfuffle recently
because Hassan left the YouTuber JX's video running for five minutes
while he ran off to do something else.
Thus, it was only his chair reacting to the video.
Hassan has also become a millionaire from reacting to stuff,
although often
buggers off mid-video
to have a piss
or cook some pasta
thanks mingers
and stay awesome
no we're not going to talk about it
not a subject
what you mean
let's not talk about
the controversial H word
it's not cool
just to move that
move that use of that word
it's the matter
why it's the matter
on Twitch streaming now
that you react to
you just watch like a series
or something will react on your stream and it's lame
yeah it's weird
the older I get the more like just cycles I just keep noticing
it's like oh
the reactionist's a back baby
um yeah it's it's cringe and it's bad content
I mean put some effort into it
how are you proud of yourself yeah
because what they're doing is they're reacting to videos
and then they they will have clips
channels so they just upload the clips of them watching like gym can't swim videos and shit
and like videos other people have made it's like yeah there's a way to make that kind of
content but you got to edit you got to do some editing that it's not it's not fair use it's not
you're not changing what it is especially like when you're taking it to that level of
extreme where you're like leaving for five minutes to go like cook or you know you're just
eating watching stuff it's yeah I'm going to say something controversial I think they
Especially for a streamer that big
Like
Just ask
You know
Like just to contact who
Like the content
I'm sure you could come up
With some kind of agreement
Some arrangement
And then there wouldn't be all this drama
But the
Yeah it's fucking cringe
Streaming should only
Be allowed for celebrities
No it should only be allowed
For people who are nobody
Nobody with money
Or any type of base
should ever stream what if you become somebody through streaming well then you're somebody
now so you don't need to stream what are you do instead make normal video is like an actual
fucking normal person instead of being a lazy cun um and on a kind of kind of similar note well actually
not a similar note at all just sort of youtube drama um summit skyer one says if any of you followed
the samhide documentary bamboozle now that the samhide idub's documentary saga has concluded i wonder
what your thoughts were on the whole thing.
If you haven't heard of this,
I'd really recommend watching both documentaries.
It is high art.
So I've seen both, actually.
Yeah.
You've only, I've only seen it.
I've showed you guys some clips of the...
And describing it.
Yeah.
So for those who don't know,
Idubsy, like, makes these documentaries
from people and you went to make one on
Sam Hyde, who's this kind of infamous
shock comedian,
who's most known for that TED Talk.
he did um which was kind of like mocking the whole idea of ted talks and the like circle joke
nature of them that's a funny video that ted talk yeah but idubs was exploring the more sort
of controversial side of him and like because he's so exaggeratory and he had like his show
canceled out how to swim and he's like donated money to some like dodge things and he
wanted to like make a documentary on him but he basically wound up just getting like trolled because
Sam Hyde's like
an expert
Yeah he's an expert
At that kind of thing
And the Idub's documentary
Was like
Not coming out
So Sam Hyde put his version
Of the footage up
Into this pretty funny video
Where he's like come out
With all these skits and shit
And then Idubs 1 is more like
A basic sort of documentary
Where he's just like
Yeah
I got punked basically
But
um yeah he didn't like try and spin it around and make it this whole drama you just kind of like
showed it for what it was yeah yeah it was fine it was an interesting way to spend a couple
hours did you like what you saw of it that's some funny shit where they're driving that
forcing idubs to drive stick on that like weird car what was that car called james that
fucking weird thing um a polaris slingshot that's right the slingshot i enjoyed them like
making fun of that car
that to me
it looks pretty funny
but
yeah it looks pretty funny
James
I don't know
he's done some
Sam Hyde's done some dodgy stuff
yeah
I'm not like a fan of either of them
so until you brought it up it just
went straight over my head
I wasn't really interested
and I don't mean not a fan
as in like I'm anti
either of them
I just basically out of the loop
but it's like with Sam Hyde
you kind of need to know him
because he's integral to meme culture
he's pretty
he's one of those people
you just need to know about
and understand the memes
because they're quite funny
and inspired like Ethan Klein
and Idubs himself
well I only have a
surface level understanding
of both of them.
Well, like, I've seen a funny shit from
both of them, but, like, I don't
know the rest. Yeah, yeah.
Gravewalker
has one for us. Hey, lads, so I know the
Beltman brothers spent that early childhood in
New Zealand, but have you guys ever considered moving
back eventually, like, possibly for
retirement, or are you guys quite content with
life in the UK in its current state?
I'm sorry, but none of us are going to
retire. There won't
be well to retire in by that time.
well I wouldn't say that but there won't be people retiring
yeah you just die you die on your job at your desk
yeah or whatever you do
work in the factory you just get ground up and turn it
no one's working at that point you're
you're hanging out watching Marvel movies with Luke Skywalker
yeah getting jerked off by a robot arm
that in your headset looks like fucking
Kim Kardashian
yeah
Kim Kardashian
well no these these two are moving away pretty soon actually
this is maybe the last episode
I'm supposed to fucking reveal it
man
I'm really upset
I have thought about it quite a bit
and why would you do that
well that's the thing
as much of a nice thing
to do it would be
there are tethers
there are tethers
there are tethers to where you grow up
and the people you meet
and you know
you're going to leave me
not that it's like a bad tether
it's just like it is what it is
My life is here
And there are reasons I want to stay
Hmm
Jamie's leaving me
I don't do the same
I echo the dolphin
The exact same thing
What
We've got three more here
Okay
James House has another one for us
A while ago
When Jim was talking about Seinfeld
He mentioned that he hadn't got
To the controversial ending of the show
So I wasn't sure how to feel about it
I'm guessing he's finished it now
So what are his thoughts on it
Does it hold up as his favorite show
Nope
the ending of the show sucks dong and other shows are better now
damn yeah
no that ending genuine because it's like
my life was Seinfeld my my past time
when I hardly took the wind out of the sails to that
that degree yeah because no everything in my mind was just like
you know what all I want to do is just chill out and like
not necessarily sit and watch Seinfeld but just have it on
you know to to some degree at the very least that's what I wanted in my
free time and then it hits that ending it's like and then it's over it's just like well that's gone
out of brain new shit now okay whereas like something great keeps it's like stuck in your head
but there but there's loads of like jokes in signfield that stick though yeah but i'm telling
you the ending is so bad once you get past that point you're like all right i'm just gonna watch
some other shit sitcom now really i kind of had an inverse reaction where i was like
That's not a good ending by any means, and that's not like an episode I even care about seeing again.
But there was so much good shit, I don't even care.
Yeah.
No, I'm saying the show is incredible.
Okay.
But it's not the best anymore.
And it's like the last episodes, last episodes go out of their way to make you forget it.
In its attempt to make you remember everything.
It's like two, it jerks itself off.
bit too much and the episode before it starts doing this shit and like setting it up is one of
those like callback episodes where it's like hello everybody I'm jerry Seinfeld and I've had quite
a lot of wacky adventures along the way let's have a look at them and then it's just like a
clip episode yeah yeah yeah and then the last episode is a clip episode as an episode where like
they've written in the old jokes to call back it's like what the fuck are you doing
Clip episodes are just so late.
Yeah.
There's a good Sonny in Philadelphia
that's a clip episode that isn't.
Like a fake one, yeah.
Yeah.
That's a good idea.
Two more here.
A penultimate one.
Bloodcock, too.
Hey, gamers, I'm curious.
Do you boys still game together?
Or is it...
Oh my God, I cannot speak.
Or is hanging out at Alex's once a week.
Plenty enough already.
If you do game together, what games do you play?
Any favorites?
Oh my God.
What was that?
Nice one.
Jesus.
Fucking twit.
Um, what was they saying?
Any favourites or games you'd like to play together?
We don't hang out outside of Josh.
Sorry, this is a fabricated friendship.
We've never actually been friends.
Now, we play, we, we've, uh, discovered land parties, basically.
We've been lining it up.
So in, in the, I mean, they're not land parties.
No, they're not.
In the editing HQ room, um, we, we, we've just kind of discovered recently that we, there's three different rigs there.
An Xbox GX.
A
PC and a PC
We've got two PCs and an Xbox
So we've started to play
games at the same time
In the same womb
On the Wigs
And it's been incredible
It's probably the best gaming experience ever
Yeah
You can't be playing with people in the womb
Yeah
It's better
Have you seen that famous
Yes
Like
I don't know if it's a picture or a video
Is it I think it's a video
It's a picture
It might be a picture
Yeah
But like
they've they're there's these guys in a tiny room and they've set up a land party and one guy
is duct taped to the scene and he's using like a PC on top of a cupboard or something just
so he can like game and they can all fit in the room it's a hilarious picture but that's sort
of the vibe we're going for it it's like old school like just guys in a room with pizza playing
games yeah and it's great yeah it's awesome um and
The only thing we play is Apex.
Yeah.
That is it.
Three man squads.
It's either that or like two of us just playing two random games.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's fun as hell.
But I would like to, this is a little story that I'd like to bring up regarding the gaming room.
The dogs often join us in the room and just be fucking annoying.
And a lot of the time, one of them all far and it's.
yeah one of us whoever's closest proximity to the dog is like the alarm uh-huh
it'll just be like oh what the oh and and it starts stinking and but this at this one time um
james was like oh man argy stinks today and then eventually i was like yeah he does
he's really stinky today and i don't know if you ever smelt it because you got a bit of a funky
Yeah, I don't really count.
But a couple days go by, and then I'm home, I take my shoes off, and I'm like, oh, what's this smell?
It smells like Argi.
Yeah, this is an Argy smell right here, and I was like, wait, I have a certain pair of shoes where if I wear them and, like, walk around and shit, and I wear them for 12 hours straight or whatever, we've talked about how much I wear my shoes when I'm wearing them.
Um, it turns out I get foot stank with these certain shoes.
Fart Fee.
I get Fart Feet straight up.
But like it's a, it smells worse than fart.
Because fart is like a natural smell to me.
Yeah, like fart feet kind of smells like, it smells like an environment that mushrooms would like grow in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's made me feel quite disgusted by myself, but it was my feet that I'd taken my shoes off that day because my feet were particularly hard.
making the smell
less exemplify
does this not bother you about
keeping shoes on there all the time
because I'm always, I want my feet to breathe
that's my prerogative
yeah
this is actually our final question too
you've introduced this beautifully
from L1L underscore BBI
it really messes with me that more often
than not I see one or more members of the cast
wearing shoes while recording
earnest question why do you do this? Is it customary in the UK
not to take your shoes off indoors. I've never understood it.
I just want to make this clear. We've had this discussion before because I got really angry
because if you walk in a house, if you go on carpet, shoes should not be on carpet and
they never should. You take your shoes off downstairs in the laminated floor,
be it your kitchen, your hallway, whatever area is not carpet. You kind of leave your shoes
there. So the idea of Jamie Walker and Alex's house of shoes on just really, really bothers me.
and Jamie has this horrible excuse of
but it makes me feel like I'm busy and ready
It doesn't make me feel busy
But it does make me feel ready
And also I grew up in a house with a stanky dog
I like the fact that when I'm getting
Going out
Putting my shoes on is like part of the process
It's like
If I need to leave at 10
I'm downstairs with my shoes on at 10 too
Which means I'm ready to leave earlier
Which means I'm earlier
No you know what
Whenever I've picked you up to go to McDonald's
Half the time you're like
No, but here's the thing, no, no, no, no, no, that's different.
Get in the car, then put your shoes on.
That's different.
That's because I'm lazy.
But here's the thing.
I'm always unprepared for you arriving at my house
because I know the journey from my house to your house
and it takes me less to do it myself.
So I'm ready by the time I think you'd usually be here
because you're so late.
No, that doesn't make sense.
I unprepared myself.
Why do you base other people speed on your speed?
No, but James is saying, because I take longer, he's not ready.
So what James is actually saying is that I'm too fast.
I drive much faster than James, skillfully, to his house,
than it would take James to drive from my house.
You're also basing this of the literal one time I put my shoes on in your car.
Otherwise, I've got jack on.
No, but after the time you get into my car and at the very least, your shoes aren't tied.
Yes, because they're the shoes that don't get tied.
I have sloppy shoes for sloppy occasions.
But anyway, just to defend myself,
I'm a lazy person.
Okay.
If I have my shoes on,
I never have to worry about doing that again.
I never have to worry.
Once the shoes are on, like...
Putting shoes on is not...
It's like a one-minute activity.
Yeah, but that's one minute.
But a lot of it comes down to...
I used to really struggle getting up in the morning
for school
right
and James can vouch
for this
and I would push it
I would push it so hard
like I would sleep
as much as I possibly could
and then be like
oh shit I got to get to school
in five minutes
it's like a 15 minute bike ride
it's time to just like
tear
along the road
so it's sort of instilled
this thing into me
like if I'm
if I'm going to
be going anywhere
I want to
my shoes on ready.
If I'm not going anywhere, I won't wear shoes.
But if I know I'm going out
at 5pm and I'm at
home at 10 a.m.
dressed after a shower,
I'll put shoes on and I'll keep them on.
See, that's fucked. That's fucked. No, I think you've
just described... It's methodical. You've described
something that I've described that you've gone against. You've used the exact same
reasoning. Well, what is
that? I can't remember, but that's irrelevant.
Then it's irrelevant and you can't
use that. I think that's fucked up and I think
you need to change that. Why? I find
it rude to have shoes on carpet.
No, because then I, that will be an added
process of taking the crocs off
and then putting on different shoes to go out.
It takes two seconds to move talks. You literally just move your
foot out of it. No, but you're saying, oh, that
only takes one minute. Oh, that only takes
two seconds. Two seconds
multiplied by 365
times two times five.
fucking four plus what
okay so you're saving
you're saving all this time but what are you doing
with that time gaming
you're not gaming another extra minute
no one minute
every every every gamer knows
a minute in Halo
that's a long time a minute in apex that's a long time
a minute in the multiplayer realm is a long
fucking time this is bullshit
no how long does it feel when you're
you're working you're towards the end of race
and you're working towards that overtake
That feels like a long-ass time.
I've got a counter argument.
So you're saving a minute or two a day.
I shower in under half the time.
So I'm saving double the amount of time there.
You shower in less than a minute.
You don't shower in a minute.
It takes you like an hour to go.
No, no, that's Alex.
That's you.
No, if I'm shaving, then it takes me longer.
Today, today, because you're saying this, because I was about,
I was about 40 minutes late.
Yeah, 40 minutes, but you message half an hour before we first to me.
The bathroom was occupied, right?
Mm-hmm.
I had things to do.
Like?
Like, things that I don't need to say right now.
Irrelevant.
Not irrelevant, because that's literally why I was late.
I, I, I had shit to do before the shower, after the shower.
The shower was 10 minutes, 15 maybe.
my counter so another counter argument is this is
do you feel that that time is really that valuable
and that you're going to change your life in such a way
by saving at one to two minutes
no but I'm also a person that will put something somewhere
and not know where it is right
I'll
I'll remember where something is
your GCSC results from
yeah I have to introduce you to hook theory
hook theory works
I'm starting to come onto the side of
I agree if you have a place for something
where you just put it
every time like keys being
the obvious one you get home
keys go on the hook
that becomes like
you don't have to be mindful about where you're putting them
because they have a place
so then when you're looking for your keys
they have a place
have I taken hook theory too far
yes no
interesting
but shoes have places
Does your shoes not have a place in your home?
No.
Why?
Um, gaming.
I think this is...
You can get hooks for your shoes and just hook them on the wall while you game.
No, I hate that.
And they're ready to go.
No, but...
So when you have a house, when you have a house, you, you've just spent like a million pounds by
a time we buy house on a house.
You've got your first place and, you know, carpets are now like 20K to get some carpets.
Are you going to walk in there if you have dirty shoes?
instantly. I get carpets. I don't want
carpets. You're going to have laminate everything.
I'm not going to have the bare
like stone. Yeah, I want
a stone house and I just want to
have, I want to walk around on stone.
Cheaper.
It would be colder.
I want a gravel house.
It's a thing I just
Well, you don't have to worry about cold on your feet if you're
wearing shoes.
Yeah, but shoes. One of the main things to me is that
like surfaces get
dirty. I never have to clean the surfaces
if my feet are protected with a shoe.
Yeah, but your floor's
dirty because you're wearing shoes.
Yeah, but they get dirty. What happened today?
What happened today was like to someone walk mud up my stairs?
You were wearing shoes. My shoes aren't muddy day.
The answer is yes.
Well, I apologise, but...
That's what I'm paranoid over, because that shit could stain.
If you get dog shit on your shoes, you know,
and you spend that on your carpet, that's horrible.
carpet knows about that business
yeah but that was nothing to do with me
that's the but that's part of it like especially if I had a dog
no that's why I always wear I've got like
I've got multiple footwear I wear but I'll wear slippers
I'll transition out of the
uncomfery like trainers or whatever
but slippers are a valid thing and
I would happily wear slippers inside
what's what so this is a
you don't have slippers
no this is a thing like I
I have come to and from here.
I'm wearing shoes, right?
And now I even have more motive to never take my shoes off because I...
You don't, because you have 60% chance of just releasing toxins into the environment.
You only have that toxins because your feet are suffocating inside shoes the majority of the day.
That's the weird thing though, because they are.
They are a pair of shoes that are more breathable than your average pair of shoes.
So I don't understand why my feet gets...
Because you've got, because your feet are in them, your feet are in them too long.
It's like, would you wear, I, I don't want to do a comparison to as normal clothes because it's very different, but like, you wear shoes a whole, how long do you think it takes for your shoes to start to stank from wearing them constantly?
Like a day, a week?
None of my other shoes have ever done that.
I've never suffered from Stephen's.
I feel like once things like that start having their own stank is when you need to change your routines with them because it's clearly not white.
It's clearly something wrong.
with me wearing shoes a lot because
I probably wear those shoes
the least out of all my shoes
but they give me the most stankfoot
so that that
those two things are irrelevant
I think
another thing Dick and Sidde is like upwringing
because it's like in my house if you
as a kid if you got dirt anywhere you're
you know you're getting fucking
Jim and I had the same upbringing
but our mother
always
has footwear on?
Always.
She never walks around in just socks.
She never walks around.
I don't know how it's comfortable.
I feel like my feet are free to just thrive
when I haven't got any shoes on.
But wanting to shackle them in a cage
all day, every day is not comfy.
I like them being free.
I even like the idea of not wearing socks.
If I didn't have dogs, I probably wouldn't wear socks.
No, no socks.
When your socks is worse when you have dogs.
No, no, you've got a layer of protection, though
No, because if you step in water
That they've dribbled everywhere
With socks on, that socks's gonna be wet for ages
But if it's barefoot
Which is, yeah, I normally wear like flip-flops or whatever
Yeah
When I'm around them
You can't deny that my system works
And there's no fault in it
Because you've got stinky fucking feet
Only in the other shoes
It's not these shoes
Yeah, but that's still stinky feet, bro
Doesn't matter how you cut it, you've got stinky feet
No, but I could wear those shoes once a month
for an hour and my feet would get stinky.
It's a shoe problem.
And that never happened to me.
That's because you're not wearing shoes.
That's because you're not wearing shoes.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is, this entire like 20 minute discussion is just
Jamie needs to use some spray on his shoes.
No, we were asked about the shoe thing because I'm always wearing shoes.
And sometimes you are too, so you can't...
I've only started to do it in this house because of you.
Oh, so you're a sheep.
Fucking coward.
Yes, only now, fucking coward.
Your moral slide for this one.
Yeah.
But at home, James doesn't stand for shit.
I do stand for something.
What?
Thank you for watching this episode of the Charmedia podcast.
Thank you for watching and we'll catch you on the next Charmagea podcast.
I think poo theory is real.
Hook theory.
No poo theory, to be clear.
Stinky feet theory.
Sunkingy poop theory.
fallacy.
