Good afternoon, morning, evening or night,
ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to episode 210 of the JARCast.
211.
Let me just start again.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night.
Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the JAR Media Posdak episode 211.
I'm your host Alex, joined as always by the Martian Melfhunter himself.
James
I am here
Also known as Pissaday
And there's a beast over there
Just doing his thing
Mm-hmm
Slicing James in
In the intro
Yep
Just abusing me
On a regular basis
Abusing James
Literally
You know I'm tired of
Even just hearing you
Okay then
I'm okay of that
Don't hear me then
Block me out
Before we get too deep into the episode
I'd like to shout out
the patrons
patreon um there are four very special patrons who are on the dibby tier who i figured i'd
give a little shout out those being dio 2149 michael g2 mayo mayo and joel steward thank you for your
patronage and also thanks for rating us on itunes legends we got some uh
i got some meaty stuff to be talking about today guys first off though
Oh no.
Last episode, of course, was the first one, the first jar cast we've done in a while in person.
Yep.
And it's also the first time we did an episode with this new camera.
And basically the lighting has just been completely messed up, because we don't know what we're doing.
Yeah, it takes time because if we, yeah, you do something that looks all right in person,
but then translating that over to, like, on video, it can be a bit weird sometimes.
I'm trying to find a good balance between like hyper white
and like a more neutral kind of brownie color
Yeah, I know this doesn't matter to those listening
This is mostly an audio show
But you know, the video aspect has always been a part
So we need to, we can't ignore it
You've made a few adjustments
So let us know if this is an improvement or not
I hope so
Can I quickly call back to a phrase
James just used
Because it's sort of something I want to discuss
A phrase?
Yeah, he just said it
Hyper white
Hyper white
Yeah
I'd sort of like to delve
into James' political views
Hyper white
because the light is white
And it's really intensely white
Because it's like the stuff
Using like camera shoots
And it's just kind of
Last episode
Okay
White, what
No the last episode was really dark
Because we just didn't have the light sorted
But I don't understand
What the lights have to do
With my political opinion or something
Okay
You all know I'm the communist of JAR
So let's then move on
Yeah another thing that happened was
Last episode we were kind of talking
As if there were two cameras
And kept like changing angles and stuff
Because we did record two cameras
But the B camera was just so messed up
And I spent a whole day editing
That JARCast
With the two cameras and everything
And making it all nice
Doing all the colour correction
But then I couldn't get it to encode
In a way that wasn't completely
corrupted
So I had to redo it again on Monday as quickly as possible
So I couldn't do anything nice with it
And that really annoyed me
So I thought I'd just say that
So my misery can be shared
That's why we've actually dropped the camera today
Yeah
Unless I can figure out some way to do the two camera thing
In a much more convenient quicker way
Because it literally having the two cameras
Just editing it takes so much longer
And for a weekly thing
That we just got to you know
Kind of do really close to dead
like Mondays.
Yeah, I didn't want to delay it, so anyway.
Where are we going to start today?
I'll tell us, actually, with this from the community.
Multiple people wrote in about this.
Shoot.
Fana's dad says,
what do you guys take on Kanye running for president?
I honestly think it's him promoting his new album
while simultaneously having a psychotic breakdown
and think it's pretty sad that Kim and his family
aren't getting him the help he needs.
And Dr. Gecko 69 says,
similar booby-boo what do you think about Trump running for president and the fact that it will probably allow Trump to win again by taking African-American votes away from Biden do you think this was a planned move from Trump and Kanye or just Kanye's delusions of grandeur kicking in again I guess they probably asked that before this new news that Kanye's kind of disavowed Trump for his own birthday party the birthday party is what his parties know did you know this James
That's what he's running under, the birthday party with assistance from Elon Musk and his wife, Kim Kay.
The power couple.
I don't know what to say, because all I can say is this would only happen in America.
This kind of hyper-celebrities deciding to won in president's racist.
Sounds absolutely obscene.
What do you think his intent is, though?
do you really think he
believes he has a chance at winning
probably not it's marketing
he's very good at it
and they should all be
something to
you know get attention for a new album or something
like that seems to be one of the prevailing
theories that it's kind of like a
marketing strategy
for his new music and stuff
there's no way someone like him
who's got like obviously no experience
in the political world would ever get to
like win
the Trump
of any experience in the political realm?
I guess people were quick to trust him
because of his business background.
Yeah.
And while Kanye does have more successful businesses than him
by a very long shot,
isn't he an anti-vaxxer?
That's what we read.
Yeah, that would be kind of concerning
if the president was an anti-vaxer.
It's, has anything been said about where he actually stands and what the whole, you know, policies are and whatnot?
I don't know, because it was already a late place to begin, but this late, you know, in the American kind of cycle, election cycle.
I don't understand how the American political system works, and I don't really want to delve in on how it works, because it's, I think it's...
I think any of us know, none of us American.
I can't say
This will get anywhere
I don't think he's got no chance of winning
You really think that
How many people
You know in the American voting system
Do you think would be like
Kanye West?
Yes
The youth
The youth but that's it
Who don't, yeah
It's only the youth
And even then somebody
If you're going to be like
Kanye what the fuck
What is this?
I don't know man
Because
It's another case of
the two main people running
are shit
yeah they got another
two kind of garbage options
so
I've heard a lot of shit
about what's happening and there was some leaked
plans from the White House about how they're
going to stay in power no matter what and like
shit that I'm just like I'm taking all
with salt I've got to take all everything that's
related to America of salt because it's just
obscene I
think we just got to wait and see what happens
Wilcan I think this is just marketing
give it enough time and it will just be like oh here's a new album boom that's it not going
for president there's no realistic way he can unless he does if he is elected president in
the next year i'll put my hands up and say i'm just getting flashbacks to the last time
there was a american election and everyone was saying exactly what you're saying
but that's that's yeah that was trump and clinton this is Kanye west it is different when
someone is isn't when they they have like a third party when it's not one of the two that people
will just vote for yeah also apparently he had coronavirus in febru yeah
bit like me i think i got it later though do you want to one for the prime institute of england
absolutely not yeah i don't know what i can have with american politics it's not my
place to talk about.
Just, you know, politics
full stop.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, out of those three, I probably would
vote for Kanye.
Yes, I would also vote for Kanye.
Really?
The anti-vactor thing is kind of like
Yeah.
Alarming.
But again, I, like,
we just read it on some random
article.
It's, it's hard to
yeah, to know where he stands.
Like I said,
until his policies.
If that were to be...
I just want to see him in like a debate.
How does Kanye work in a debate?
Because normally when he's,
he's interviewed, he's given such free reign to just spout his nonsensical kind of mind.
Yeah, well, that's another thing.
Like, he's pretty unhinged, and I don't know if that's the right kind of person you want.
What?
What, does anyone genuinely think is a good idea?
But, I mean, who out of those three are a good idea?
Biden's the most sensible.
I would say, yeah.
If I was living in the country, I would probably vote for Joe Biden, just out of the same reason.
It's weird how Kanye has sort of covered all the bases over his career.
Because he had the super liberal thing of like George Bush doesn't care about black people.
He said that.
But then he went all weird, like, MAGA.
Yeah, weird Trump stuff covering the right wing.
And now he's just released this whole like Christian.
album
I was wondering how this
if Jesus' King
turns out to be this weird
I remember saying to you what if he's doing this
because he's planning on running for president in 2020
and he's just doing it to try and manipulate people
yeah because the president always needs to be like
hyper religious I mean not
not to the extent that he is on Jesus' king
at least like a good Christian boy type thing
yeah woman I
him getting kind of very close to Trump
and going to White House often
that shows that he's like trying to
to get experience in a way
like trying to just get a little foot in the door almost
I feel like trying to analyse
any of his behaviour is almost pointless
yeah that's another thing
like I don't know if he genuinely thinks
he's going to be president
I have heard
I'm not this couldn't be bullshit
I'm going to say this can't be bullshit
I cannot confirm this but I've heard
that he only
did all that stuff to get
people have been wrongly incarcerated
out of prison. That's all
he did it for. That's what I've heard. Did what for?
Do the whole MAGA thing with Trump. Yeah, buddying
up with Trump. Yeah, just to... Because there was
all that stuff where Kim Kardashian
was like meeting with Trump to
get people out of prison.
That didn't deserve to be there.
Yeah, and they did like 30 plus people.
Fucking incredible work they did, like honestly.
Really? So I think that... What were they in jail for?
Like wrong things. Like wrongly
wrongly put in jail. Like completely not
supposed to be there. Oh, wow.
Like, I, that's what I've heard. I can't say for certain, but I think that's why they
were buddy buddy with Trump. Well, that, that was like a rumor. After, after Kanye was seen at
the BLM protests, this is what, like, Kanye fans were, like, justifying why he had his
MAGA phase. Which, and if that's the genuine reason, then fuck yeah, that's fucking great. I doubt
it is, though. It was a publicity stunt. Yes.
everything he does is a publicity stunt
and this is probably too
but that doesn't mean he's not going to go all in
and try and actually do it
because that's a carnia thing to do it
that is publicity
and it's the next logical step in terms of the ego
trip yeah even if he
is like one of the majority
like voted for loads
he can rap about that
yeah and people listen to it
like yeah I'm genuinely surprised
more celebrities aren't running.
I really thought there was a good chance.
Trump was like the first, like globally.
Like once Trump got in,
there was like other countries
where these celebrities were suddenly in power.
It's like a phase,
it's like a crazier now where, you know,
these hyper-celebrities,
but of a backing away,
you're like, oh, I can do this.
Well, remember it was like a big deal
when Arnie became,
what was he?
California, mayor of California.
Yeah, yeah.
Which to us seems like quite a small kind of
figure like it's not the same as being the president
no no but it's really weird considering he's Austrian
it is quite yeah it was always like wow but
and I got to say of anybody like
the Kardashians and the Wests
they have an obscene like just
they have this such an incredible understanding
of marketing and just how to get themselves out there
it's like bruh that's fucking wild
it's absolutely crazy so you know this could just
marketing he's got something up the line
he's got something up the line
I got something up the line
oh what have you got up the line
you don't want to know
no I want to know Alex
I thought that was going to be a smooth transition
yeah because
I'm not sure what you guys want to talk about
beyond Kanye
I have a couple of things
but it depends how much you want to jump around
Kanye's kind of sick
No, there's one thing I'm going to add
I have been listening to watch the phone recently
and it is generally a better, a really bloody good album
What is co-lab album with Jay-Z?
Just listening to, like, at first there was one incredible song
where it was just like, I want to listen to this constantly
and there's this one
Oh, and this one. Oh, and this one
And when it's like an 11 song album or something
When four songs are 10 out of 10s already
You're breaching on really good album already
Like territory
I didn't like the Beyonce one
I really know that one works
it's not the same flow
some of the others but it really works
I don't like her voice
I do though
and that's why in one of the corncasts
I think we when we did our Kanye ranking
Watch the phone
We briefly mentioned Watch the Throne
Ruben and I aren't crazy about what I
think it's grown on Ruben since
because we both listen to it at the same time
Ruben she said yesterday
that it's quite mediocre
but when it's got four 10 out 10 songs
it's like way better and mediocre, by far.
I'd say it's possibly better
than some other Kanye albums
and Jay-Z albums.
Yeah, I don't really get it,
but I'll have to listen to it again, I guess.
You just got, it depends what moves you're in for it.
You just got to pick the right songs
because some of them are like straight-up crap.
Yes, some of them are.
The one with Frank Ocean is really good as well.
Don't know.
No church in the wild, I think.
I think I hate that one.
That's a great song.
song that's so good
but that's just
I just want to add that because you've talked about
Kanye we're just talking about Connie but
okay well I threw out
onto Jar Twitter
for any topics we want to talk about for this
first half and Lord
Bung actually replied
with something I don't know how much
how much of assistance
we can really add to his
query but he asked
motivational tips I'm begging
I think it's the thing
a lot of people have been struggling with
during these times
It's just finding any reason to even bother
You know
Like everything seems so bleak
The economy seems so bleak
Like socially everything seems so bleak
There's a lack of hope
In a lot of ways which
Obviously is going to affect your productivity
Um
There's nothing
specific to the quarantine life that I can give you know I've obviously been struggling
of motivation because it's just working in in home every day it's just it really
gets draining but all of the ways I've I've become motivated I've said already
you know just you talked about it a bit last episode kind of yeah just be to be more active
just trying to eat better it's just kind of put yourself in a better place you know
there's days when I'll wake up and my mind's just not there like I'm not unmotivated
I'm, like, bordering on being, like, sad for no reason.
It's just, like, the mood, something, whatever.
And you just got, like, you've got to put on that song,
you've just got to fucking kind of, kind of push yourself through it.
I know that's not helpful, but.
I think, I'd say, do the opposite.
If you're looking for, like, creative...
Well, yeah, Lord Bang is obviously,
does a lot of art, animation, storyboarding.
I'd say bore yourself.
in what sense
just
as little entertainment as possible
have like a boring ass day
to try and reset
I remember hearing about it
on some podcast or something
but
your brain inherently
becomes more creative
but it's starved
yeah when it's
it doesn't have stuff
when it doesn't have stimulation constantly
yeah being thrown at you
like watching TV or
playing a video game
just like don't do it for a day um i mean i can't speak for myself because i'm i'm not exactly
creative yeah never mind like i don't create other than the podcast i i i await my mind always
tends to be creative when i'm trying to sleep yeah well it's that exact thing because you're
essentially you are bald no you just weren't talking to the mic oh yeah um for me i think a big part
of it is the
like discipline
when I'm not disciplined it's like
all over the place in terms of productivity
they can help though if you have like
just a list of things you're like
I'm not going to go sleep today until this list
of things is done like I don't care what happens
these things even if it's small
things as long as they get done
then I can end the day feeling like I've been productive
I've done something
yeah especially if you're like I know
Bung works on these big projects
which you just have to like chip away at really
boringly slowly
that's like the only real advice I can give
on something like that
you just got to be like
disciplined in some way and
clear your head to
get some exercise and
yeah take breaks
and that kind of shite
yeah
otherwise um at Michael
Pena fan
sorry no Michael Pena
Is it
Yeah, it is Michael
Peña, I don't know why I was calling him
Micah
Micah
Yeah
Maybe the Red Dead's bleeding in
But
I wonder why
I wonder why
He asked
With Alex mentioning
He's gone back to Destiny 2
Would like to hear
Some of the specific improvements
And stuff
We've drawn him back in with
Um
You guys obviously don't give two shits
About Destiny
Um
No we did see some of the gameplay
last week
and it does look
much improved
looks like
they've added
actual content
and like
reasons to play again
the reason
it's working for me
now at this point
is because
like I just left it alone
for so long
I would just like
play the expansion
enough for like a video
then stop
but they did this video
where they were like
showing off
the future of it
and it made
because that was part
of it too for me
so what's the point
to playing this
if I just
no idea where this
is really going
are they even going to
continue it
they're going to keep supporting it.
Establishing like a timeline of sort of where it's going helps a lot.
And also another thing that's a big deal for me is when I'm supporting them now,
it's not like an Activision thing anymore.
Yeah.
That bugs me.
Yeah, and I've just kind of got into a rhythm of like what the game wants for me
because there's so many like things to collect now.
So I kind of have a purpose in what I want to do.
So that's kind of what I've been messing with most.
haven't changed too much like yeah because i played some yeah i want to say that if if destiny never
really worked for you then whatever they've changed won't change your mind because like after playing
it here i played for 20 minutes like had a fine time you did do like the most boring thing you
can possibly do in the game i guess which is just go to a place and just like walk around without any
like purpose where the the good thing about it is just the ridiculous like levels upon levels
of reward systems it has now it's so much better than when like destiny two first came out where
it was like you barely ever got loot it was super stingy yeah yeah now they're constantly
raining you as shit all the time there was something i said while we were playing the
um i don't think there's enough
like
the types of gameplay
in that game
the pillars of like game
yeah there is one
it's better man
they're like but I never remember
playing Destiny and having moments
where I was like kind of excited during
the gameplay in ways that were
like positive and not just like a
oh this is bullshit hard or whatever
yeah what's like an example
like just building
setting up a building
such a way where you can kind of just like jump around the enemies and just survive and you've
just got your all your powers kind of it's like in boardlands three you know when you've got like
just the right thing going on and you're using your abilities and all that kind of nerdy shit
yeah and with like the music and the presentation everything it can there are moments where it like
really comes together for me and especially like the scale of it there's no other like science
fiction game i've played recently that has these like in the strike playlist they have these like
huge kind of set pieces with
like massive things
like flying around and you've got to dodge them out the way
and it's all that kind of stuff so
I've been enjoying that for now
just kind of going through and having a game
to piss around on like you guys have with cod or whatever
yeah it's annoying it's annoying to me
like what destiny is
because it burnt me once
and then burnt me again
and
you just get like flashbacks
when I
when I play the game
it just reminds me of
the amount of just doing the same shit
over and over
and nothing ever really felt deep enough
like the idea
definitely has a lot of work to do
but like the idea of builds
I think that's what the game should have been
in the first place
and the fact that it's done it now to me
is way too late or way too late
Yeah but it's also like
It's fine for me
When series are like shit for a while
And then like there's a point where it's like
This is kind of good now
That's just like been the story of how many games
As of late where like they launch their shit
And then they gradually get good
Rainbow 6 Destiny
Yeah
Cod
Yeah a bunch of games
Battlefront 2
Forzers
But again
like all of those games you mentioned
do you I didn't get on board with
rainbow six until it was good yeah
but the other ones like battlefront well that's how I
have to try and think about it though if like if someone is jumping into destiny too
and they've never played it before yeah yeah you could like spend a crazy amount of time
and have a lot even just the free to play stuff I like that seems like a lot
but the fact that I was an early adopter and basically was punished for
that I had to pay more money to get less it's game with you man well I mean there's just
other shit because it's like imagine if um you started playing red dead online or gtia online
when it first came out yeah yeah yeah it's so much you're sick of it and now it's shit to you
because you've just you've experienced like the core tenant of what it is to the point that's the thing
with gta though that it has over red dead and destiny and everything is that there are so
many different games within that game.
So it was actually quite hard to get bored of it.
But I did eventually.
Because they, the original ECHL9...
Yeah, but how much did you play it?
Because you played it a lot.
If I didn't play it with people, I would have played it a month, maybe.
I barely touched GT Online.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I just thought it was kind of messy and annoying.
They've added so much content, I have no desire to go back into it because I did it earlier.
But I played Red Dead Online for a fair amount.
Yeah.
And it's having the problem that Old Destiny did where it's like, what's the future of this?
Like, what you do?
It doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.
Yeah, you've got no timeline for like by this point.
But I mean, it felt like Destiny 2 did that to a point.
Yeah, because it all changed when they left Activision, but that doesn't really excuse it.
But you find this, the like, the story behind it, like really fascinating at this point.
Oh, yeah.
I find that way more interesting to look into.
But it also makes the product kind of less hateable to me
because it's just such a complex situation
that when you fully understand it in the way that we do,
there is something, especially now they've left the grasps of Activision,
there is just something more.
They've got out of like the storm
and they're steering the ship in a really good direction.
My thing is that there are so many other good games
that are just good games by themselves already.
At release, old, new, whatever.
I can just play those and not have to worry about needing this future.
But it's like, where can I get like a world like that with the art direction and the music?
Yeah, I know.
That's what pisses me off so much about it.
Because the gameplay does feel solid as fuck.
Yep.
The appearance is incredible.
No, don't deny that.
Even the biggest haters can't deny that.
No, because there's some...
The art direction isn't like genuinely next level.
it's actually like it blows my mind at points
there's something about that game that just
I can't put my word
like words to it there's something about
it makes me just really want them to have like a
four hour like slick single player or something
exactly that's what I mean like I could play something
that requires way less time
but it feels complete
and then you might even put in the same amount of money
but every hour feels worth it
instead of the just the grey
mush that I played of destiny
one and two
yeah it's definitely not
I wouldn't recommend for everyone to
no definitely not to play it because it's super like
nerdy and about chasing numbers
and shit like that
yeah and
because
to me as well it's not like casual enough
you can be pretty casually
I don't know I mean
and that's what I'm playing I've got cod
which is as casual as it gets
you just jump on
that's it you don't have to chase things you don't have to go for numbers you don't have to get guns
yeah and still these these bars are just like filling and it's satisfying no matter what you do
they're completely different yeah for sure but i mean it's giving you that same like reward
structure but that's what destiny does now though as well like just anything you do it's just building
on building on building on all this shit it's like the same thing yeah yeah that's what i'm saying
but i think cod is more accessible because it's not like oh yeah it's it's
far as accessibility there's nothing you have to like learn in the same way yeah you know like
in fact if i was jumping on destiny now for the first time i'd probably like pretty overwhelmed
by yeah yeah and that that's actually something again that turns me off of it but they do help
you by like just having quests that they just take you through like yeah but it it just baffles me how
like how
fucked
the development of
the first two games were
up until this point
they just didn't have the time
it makes me wish they just were given the time
to release it when they wanted to
yeah because they just missed out
and so much of this stuff that should have been
in the game in the first place
yeah and that's what burns me
the fact that it's destiny too
do you know what burns me the most about destiny
what the guy who wrote
most of Halo
his like his treatment and his story that he'd written for the original destiny that was just
completely scrapped and put all in the grimwa and all this yeah so I bet it would have had
that real like bungee feel as well could have been so cool yeah like the perfect like story
that's easily accessible but then so much more yeah because it has the it has the depth if you're
willing to get dorky and nerdy with it but I just don't care about that shit like all the law
stuff like I can't
I'm just in for like the gameplay loops
so
anything else we've been
entertaining ourselves with I've just been fucking working
off thing reasons why
every single time you answer the question
I just don't get how you can't get fucking bored of it
because like you said with destiny you're constantly
filling bars I've put I've played the game
16 hours physically shooting people
six not 16 days
that's close to 500 hours I can only play destiny
though when I'm like multitasking like
watching Netflix
like watching
No I never play Cod when I'm by myself
I mean like
I don't either but it's just
you're filling bars
you're constantly
sometimes
but it's the same thing
you're just filling bars
and I want to say do you think
Cod's a live service
like a subscription
Yeah it is
Yeah with how often they're updating it at this point
I honestly think it's the best one
because
People don't think it is but it is
Because every year you're buying it
In terms of what though
being a live subscription
really because it's
because a live subscription like you're buying this game
they're going to do updates cold it's a life subscription
because every year you're buying the same fucking game you're getting the same
experience constantly so it's just the most overpriced
subscription of the war yeah but it's the best
because people don't get bored of it because you're not waiting for updates
because each game's being updated as they go along
and you're getting a new game
it's definitely to me the most consistent
live service I've partaken in
right like every time even though they
might not stick to the road map they release each month.
Those, they're punctual.
Like, when they, every month.
You bloody hope so.
If God couldn't do it.
Yeah, exactly.
They're punctual, but it's just like, within their stuff,
they're constantly rotating the multiplayer.
So it's just like, it's fresh every other week.
Because maps are dropping in and out,
so you're getting fresh maps,
you're playing old maps again, you haven't played.
It's just, it's not, it's, it's Activision,
and they've done it perfectly.
caught perfectly
okay
I can't sing the praises
of that game
I can't comment obviously
because I just don't give a shit
about Cod
did we talk about what we'd been
entertaining ourselves with
last week
Cod
no because we had other things
yeah I didn't think so
no I don't like having to do it every week
I just like doing it when it makes sense
but I just don't want to repeat myself
because I want to mention that I played
a fair bit of dishonoured
which is something
I spoke I think I spoke
about this early early on
and it was just like
None of you liked it.
Nobody.
Yeah, I remember really, I mean, I played the game when I was like 15.
And, yeah, I think I bought it.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you did.
Yeah, I definitely tried playing dishonoured.
I'm pretty sure we got it from like Pink Planet or something.
It's, that game, it's got a weird art style, weird in a good way.
It's really unique.
Well, no, on Xbox, it looked crap on 360.
It looked like shit.
Yeah, it does.
But when it's actually...
It was too ahead of its time, I guess.
Yeah.
Because I've been playing it recently, and it's like, this could totally be released today.
It's actually...
It's aged.
No, because, yeah, I just bought Sekaro in the Steam sale and comparing it to how it looks on, like, my Xbox
and my living room.
It's night and day.
It's actually ridiculous.
But, Dishonored, it's like, people look at it and be like, gross, but it's got the most
insane gameplay.
It's so...
Yeah, if you want to see a good speed run for a video game, go and watch Disholod's speed runs.
No, just watch some of the creative kill montage.
people go fucking wild
of doing the most fucking insane
like jumping through buildings
then fucking out the other side
and wild
the sandbox is awesome
yeah the creativity
it's like there's a
YouTube channel called I think
stealth game something
but he just plays those games
just watch some of his videos on it's wild
yes it's like the closest thing
to hit man
yeah like a first person
oh really yeah that's sort of
just the idea
like freedom in an environment to take it
yeah like you have to kill this
guy
do it
go on
but it's just like
that game
it's better for that
but yeah
yeah
that actually has
a more of a
linear story
like it's a
this is your
yeah
you've got to do this
but that game
it has
I really like
the kind of
the world of
that game
it's really
kind of interesting
like the
steampunky
kind of
futuristic stuff
yeah
the art style
is really nice
but they're like
whale
oil or some
weird shit like that
is like
the play
currency
and all that
yeah the only
the only
complaint I really
have is
the story
seems pretty
basic
yeah it's like
servicing yeah
but it is
I've heard good things about the second one
the second one
I played the second one quite a bit because there's a lot more
it's sold very well but
yeah people it just be good
it's a shame
I'd say that that franchise is really underrated
because they're bloody good
yeah
and I kind of gave up on the second one
because this is the same of any
single player game
a multiplayer game came out and I got to take it
but it's there's a lot of
well we playability of the second one
because you've got choice of two characters
you have wildly different like options
and like trees so you can like play around
a lot more
but yeah actually a great game
if you do if you can find it cheap
actually just pick it up yeah
have a look on Steam or something
yeah I got it I got the
because they released like a
pack or something
a third sort of game
like expansion yeah it was like a
prequel a different character
a prequel to the second one
like explaining a different type of story
yeah I got all three for like
Like, it's just
mad cheap.
Yeah.
Oh really?
Yeah.
It's another of one of those
Bethesda games
which completely, you know,
makes the studio shine like Bethesda.
But the other thing I've been doing
is just watching anime.
What anime?
Gundam?
Yep, still going down.
Any new thoughts or?
No, I'm watching one of the Knops' main ones.
So it's a bit like,
I can't get too invested
because there's no sequel or anything.
So it's just like this own thing.
I'm just like,
it's robots, but then I'm going to appreciate
the central ones more because they got better designs
than better. So have good animation?
This one doesn't. But the one I watched
prior had beautiful like 80s
but modern day animation.
So it just looked great. Lots of frames
or lots of
like screenshots. No, actual frames.
But it also had a soundtrack done by the guy
who did Attack on Titan. But before Attack on Titan
so it's got this really good soundtrack, like a bloody
amazing soundtrack to this eight episode
like series. Oh, it's only eight episodes.
This one, but it's an hour.
hour each episode.
No, that's a good thing.
Yeah.
It's when I see the like...
30, 25 episodes.
50, 50 episodes at like 20 minutes.
But there's actually a bad thing
because I've got back into anime
because of Amazon.
Not Amazon Netflix.
Because there's a lot of anime on Netflix.
Yeah, they're putting more and more on there.
It's easy because you'll just like,
you'll finish it and you'll just be,
go to the next, but then you can skip intro
so you'll wipe back into it.
Yeah.
And then I've been using Crunchy Well.
Damn.
Fuck me.
Watch a bit of One Piece.
it's the worst streaming service by a considerable mile
it's like eight pound a month which is quite expensive
but the app
the app on the website
are two completely different things
so if you watch something on the app
the progress isn't saved on the desktop version
you go on the desktop version it just
it shows blog posts so you can't actually get a list
of what they fucking have to watch
it's the fucking shittest thing
I fucking hate it
with that being said we'd like to
go into our sponsor
we've got Crunchyroll sponsoring us
this episode
yeah
you just throw us
under the bus
there bro
no but they're fucking shit
like they'll post
screenshots on their
Twitter account to be funny
and it will always be
a different
streaming service
fucking thing in the top corner
like they're fucking awful
don't subscribe to Crunchy World
just don't do it
shit
damn
but I'm only doing it
because of this one anime's on it
so I'm just like
yeah sure
you have to
I got the free trial
and then I just
finish it and cancel
so whatever
fuck them shit
okay on that note then
Um, we'll back up to these messages with some questions from the community that won't be video game focus for those who don't give two shits about that stuff.
Yeah, they'll be about, you know...
Which Madagascar.
Life can be a dick sometimes.
So get your dick from out your hand.
And don't be a dick, wear a dick.
Dick the head t-shirts available now.
Check the description below.
I have to shit.
Come on, let's do the second half.
I'm just going to edit all that out.
No, don't. That's a good fucking God.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Do you really want to hear about your ass cutting itself?
No, okay.
Start it from when you just said,
do people really want to hear about your ass cutting itself?
And then they can decide whether they want to hear about James' ass cutting itself.
Okay.
Okay.
So welcome to the second half of the cast.
We answer questions from the JARCast community.
head over to the subreddit
there's a suggestion thread
ask us whatever you like anything
anything
you might have a shot at not being answered
SpongeBob
Ahoy is going to start us off this time
Hi boys I have a game for you
The game will only require
James and Alex
The game is to play rock paper
scissors but with a twist
If James wins
Alex must upload a new video to
I build everything by the end of the week
if Alex wins
James must build
and finish the tank by the end of the month
he should build it live during the podcast
as proof of his work
good luck goobers
I can't do that
no we have to
I know I can't do that because I don't have a location
to build a tank
right here is it best a space on the table
what best of three
or just one
no no but here's the thing
with doing that type of stuff you want to have a
desk specifically for it
Because if you're having to get out paints and parts constantly,
it's just not ideal when you've got...
He's wheezzling out.
No, no, listen, I actually know what I'm talking about.
No, but there's a 50, well, not 50, 50, but there's a chance that you might not have to do.
No, but I wouldn't be able to pull through.
Because if I had my own desk, I can just have that always there that I can constantly chip away at.
It'll get done.
No, you wouldn't do it anyway because of call as you two.
No, I would because I'm actually...
No, you wouldn't, because you would have done it by now.
That's because I don't have a desk and I can't...
No, that's the point of this question, and that's why we're...
we're going to do this right now. No, no, because you've got this and I don't have a space to do it.
I have one desk. Right here, it says you have to do it on the next cast anyway. So that's just what
we do. Yeah, but this has to be empty for literal weeks. Okay. You have until the end of the month.
Yeah. That's how you know. Because it's hard, it's almost halfway through the month anyway.
We got the next two days off as well. Ready? And the whole week. Okay. If you clear this, I will build the tank on
this desk.
Ready?
Let's do the
You have to
clean this desk.
You need to do
the challenge first
because you might not
even need to build it.
Put your arm up.
Ready?
Yep.
Rock, paper, scissors.
You want?
Yeah.
It's best of three.
Is it best of three?
I asked that
and nobody confirmed.
You don't do
rock paper scissors in one game.
You do best to three.
Okay.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Oh.
Here you go, best the three.
Alex says to...
So all of that.
All of that was fucking pointless.
That's exactly why he's supposed to do it first.
So now the onus is on me to upload a video on I build everything.
Which, to be fair, is way easier.
Yeah.
Why don't you make a fucking I build everything video then, huh, bitch?
Because I'd fucking...
No, that tank is actually, like, apparently a quite hard tank to build as a beginner.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mim, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
quit your yapping
oh shut up
okay nat figure asks this
if you could pick any live animal
to use to wipe your own ass with
what would you choose and why
argue
why
loads of fluff
and he's kind of chunky
so you can boil him well
so you've got a lot of wiping material
and he's long
throw him in a river to reset him
is it only one of that animal
or do you have like
it just says if you can pick any live animal
right um because i'm thinking flying flying squirrel
why because they're like the most like toilet paper
like the flattest thing
that's also like fluffy and gonna feel nice
so you've got really really
horrible answers like hedgehog
no i'm thinking of even more horrible
go on i'm thinking about
not crocodiles
snakes
now i'm thinking about what's an animal that loves
eating shit to the point where
you don't actually need to wipe
and it will just kind of clean your asshole for it.
Yeah, that's probably the most logical
Aggie.
Paisley?
I don't know, James, we're going to have to put it to the test.
I guess that's the intro sorted.
Just, yeah.
Some Shane Dawson, beastiality action for
the cast. You can't shit. Maybe
argue you'll suck it out of you.
Yeah, you could like,
what do cows like eating?
Grass.
yeah put some grass around your cut butt hole and then just like your cat hole
your cut hole and just let it go to town no or there's an option of like uh hedgehog no
gerbil you already said hedgehog no because they're tiny so you won't get much a wipe out of them
that's why because you can reset it it would be like a sponge you just have the sink with some
warmly water and you just dunk it no that's the that's the shit's up like you're a greek with the
sponge on stick put a hamster on it and just put it between your eyes no no i use a
because he kind of likes you can easily maneuver him like you wouldn't want to
no he's a bad answer unless he's licking your buckling
like imagine max big old max wiping your bum and pen would impossible no and like
dogs are quite a good answer because they eat human shit quite happily yeah but you
want to use them to wipe not you don't want them to wipe your you well that is
using them I'd say no it's different we've all given good answers I'd say so no
obviously quokadars are the only answer well yeah we forgot to
mention that. And on the subject of crocodiles,
last week
something incredible happened. Something
actual mind bending happened. How do we
forget about this in the first? I know.
It's one of the most iconic things I've ever seen.
It blew me away
in my very...
Can I establish what we're talking about? Because I found
him. And I'm very proud
of what I've discovered.
Do you mind?
Yeah, no, take it away. Take it away.
So as a YouTube connoisseur,
I like the good side of YouTube. You know,
The Jangbrook side, the Lego side, the Halo side.
But I've found a new side that I like.
And that's the Dingo-Dinkleman side of YouTube.
Is his name really Dinkleman?
James and I did some research earlier to make sure it was.
His name is Dingo Dinklman.
Dingo Dinkleman is a YouTuber.
We can't figure out what his actual origin is because he sounds like he has an Australian accent,
but he's constantly talking about.
South Africa
and he has a little bit
of a South African
twine as well
South African
accents have always
sounded similar to Australian
There's definitely
a similarity to it
but we can't quite pin down
what he is
but his whole thing
is that he's like a snake
conservationist
type character
and he like goes around
like reptiles of all
he kind of
yeah he especially loves snakes
though
he's one of those
like in your own places
like South African
Australian and whatnot
when there's a snake
in your home
he's like the type person
who did that
He'd take the snake out.
Yeah, he's a bit like Steve Irwin, where he's like, just got no fear, goes around his shorts everywhere, is a dad.
Loves animals.
Absolutely loves him.
And some of the fucking videos that he had are actually just like, holy fuck.
Like, there was this one video where I don't know, he was saying that he was just like completely harmless snake and he just fucking died like six times.
It was just constantly just dying on it.
story he was like out in the in the bush in the middle of nowhere like a south america or something um
like four hours away from like a road or you know didn't he get he got bitten on the face didn't he
no no no not that one um it was like this this uh water like snake and it had no venom or anything
it was harmless but it kind of bit onto him he had an allergic reaction he had an anthra something
shock and was just like just he just fucking was gone it was like like dying
So in this beautiful video, which he's kind of recounting the story while lying on his lawn with this massive snake in front of this.
It's a fucking like African wattle snake.
Just like the fucking most like crazy dangerous thing.
He's just like next to it.
It's like hissing in his face.
He's just like, he's terrified of it.
He's recalling this story where he goes through recounting how many times he nearly died on that day.
And his thought process.
Yeah.
And it just, it keeps escalating and escalating.
It's an incredible trip of a video.
It's a wonderful video.
It's a wonderful channel.
Because like, as much as I enjoy, you know, brave wilderness, you know, 17 million
subscriber, super high production, a whole camera crew with the, you know, all the most, the, the slickest, glossier stuff you can possibly get on YouTube.
This guy, he's a YouTuber, you know.
He's just a war.
He's a very warm.
It's like, you know, all film, like, some of it's on a phone.
some of it's on like a better camera
it's all like
you can tell they're all like doing it
feels real
it's like he did a video on crocodiles as well
and we talked about crocodiles well
but like holy fuck this
they're horrifying
he did a it was a reaction
video well yeah that that's what was so great
about this reaction video
dingo made
because it was like
the most
wonderful reaction video
because his commentary was so insightful
yeah it's his area of
expertise and he actually showed him
doing the exact thing in the videos, like, actually him doing it.
This is like, this is why you don't fucking do this.
He was like, actually, yeah, hang on.
Let me just go grab a baby.
It demonstrates on the baby crocodile to show kind of how they behave and stuff.
Like, he's, he's a, like, just a video of him like dealing with the black mamba.
And it's just like, in a house.
And it's just like, it's like the most deadliest snake ever.
And he's just like, he's just in a photonal's house.
It's like, yeah, look at this.
I'm sweating bullets.
Yeah.
It's a generally fascinating video,
especially when you're a bit, like, you know,
um,
drunk,
it's even better,
but it's just incredible.
Like,
the fucking bulls of doing that.
Holy shit.
There's just something so entertaining about these fearless people who like,
well,
the entertaining part is that he isn't fearless.
Yeah.
He's like,
he's cautious,
yeah.
He's got,
it's the,
it's like the human adrenaline reaction.
Yeah,
yeah.
He's not even moving,
like,
consciously.
It's just,
just like he's reacting to how a snake is moving.
But the nice thing, it's nice seeing someone who's so passionate.
Like, he absolutely loves his fucking job.
He loves it and you can really tell.
It is that Steve Owen kind of energy.
It's just nice to see.
Like on YouTube and someone who's making content
and he's actually really passionate about it.
It's really fresh.
Yeah, and he's not really a small channel,
but he's not huge either.
He's got two, 300,000 subs or so.
Yeah.
So that's crazy.
For giant snakes and stuff like that.
is interesting to you it's one of the best things about YouTube is the just the stuff you can
capture with animals yeah actually on the on the subject in the quokadovijo saying about if you
if you touch like slightly touch any of their jaw they fucking boom I tried on guys because
he had his mouth open and it's just like I was trying I was doing the exact same thing like
just put in my hand and it's just like the moment you touch it's the same thing it just
I think it's just an animal thing where it's just like as soon as they touch them
Gaius is actually a crocodile.
Yeah.
But obviously, I wasn't being aggressive, my dog.
He was just happy and excited, so I was just like testing it in playful way.
Yeah.
Don't stick your hand in a crocodile's mouth or head or anything.
Or a gaiters.
Or, no, which, is it alligators that worst?
Wait, if his name is Dingo Dinklman, surely he's Australian.
Dengai.
Well, that's another, that's another confusing thing.
Because why would he be based inside?
South Africa.
You could just live there.
Maybe his wife is from there, I don't know.
Maybe you can run a conservation there for cheaper.
I think Dingleman is a South African name.
Yes.
But Dingo sounds so Australian to me.
Well, yeah, Dingo is Australian.
But he says Australian things, but kind of South African.
It's really strange.
But I, like, Googled his name and stuff, and I couldn't find any specific details on where he was born.
Dingo, let us know.
Yeah, Dengai.
Should we interview him on the course?
I'd love to
He's a legend and you should go watch his
Dingo on the cast
Yeah
He's great
Shout out of Dingo
Anyway these
These Reddit names
They actually blow my mind sometimes
This next one
A good way or a bad way
You're about to find out
This one is from
RXFD Oku
That's their Reddit name
How do they even know that
I think we mentioned it before
How the fuck do they know that
Nobody knows the meaning
How do I know that?
It's a just
James thing, the RX FDoku, but what is it referencing?
And why do I know it?
One of...
Is it a car thing? Is it a Japanese thing?
No, that was my game attack on Xbox.
That's what I moved away from...
That was the... That's what I moved away from Legend Day Amber Stronging to that.
That's right.
So that's your old gamer tag.
That is one of my gamer tags.
That's funny.
But their question was, can you please explain the Duck Pillow gaming law?
No.
No.
We can't.
Why not?
We literally can't.
Because duck pillow gaming is dead.
No, but...
The only reason we wouldn't describe it before is because the possibility of perhaps...
Of making duck...
...doing it.
Yeah, but the fact that we can't makes me want to just let it die.
No, but the story needs to be told though.
It doesn't...
So then it can just be done.
Otherwise it's just gonna be this thread that was never explored.
I...
Oh fuck.
No, because this, this, this.
Max loved duck pillow gaming.
Yeah, he's the one that killed him.
He's the number one fan.
Right?
I don't know.
That duck thing is around here somewhere.
No, the duck pillow is dead.
Is it?
It's not, yeah, the duck was ripped off the pillow.
No, but I have the head somewhere.
Yeah, but he's not duck pillow gaming anymore.
Oh, because it's not a pillow.
He's just being duck gaming.
Duck gaming.
And this is why we need to explain, no, we have to explain the story now.
We can't.
No.
Jim had this, like, really awesome pillow, right?
It's like kind of a small.
pillow you know that's no what that's not the legacy of dark pillow gaming yes it is it is it genuinely
is you know my my uncle got me for like my one of my birthdays a joke gift of a duck
i'm confusing this of another story related to um matt no no no i'm there's something
there's something there no no i oh oh i i know i i know what you're thinking
yes no but duck pillow gaming my uncle as a joke gif got me this this pillow with like a duck
on it a duck's like head kind of protruding out of the pillow like a soft toy duck head kind of
sewn onto a pillow yeah um and for some it it just came to be in your possession i guess
everything weird because we wanted it to be the next thing and i don't know about you but duck
pillow gaming to me was always really inspired by the lonely gumba to me it was really inspired by
that weird gaming channel with that does the duck voice you know the duck voice oh really yeah
no no because we'd always do this voice basically for duck pillow gaming yeah really yeah
like a YouTuber voice of someone who's like so we did the lonely gumon i don't want to throw any shade but
basically it was just going to be like an ironic cringy gamer channel
what we wanted to do what we wanted to do was take this idea of duck pillow
gaming build this old like YouTube channel around it and just see how shit we
could make it and how much traction we could get it with how shit it is so yeah it would
be like an ironic knowing that it's pure shit but also making
Making it seem earnest and, like, real.
Yeah, yeah, so it would have been our work.
But then Max loved it, and he tore the face off the...
Max, my old gold retriever.
Yeah, he tore the face off the pillow.
That's not what killed it, though.
It never began.
It was just like a random throwy.
It was always a dream, and dreams can be killed.
Yeah, it was like, you know what, if everything else goes wrong,
at least we had a dog girl a game.
It was just like an in-joke between us, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, and it was like kind of a reassuring thing at the end of the day.
Yeah, at least we all else fails, we know we can count on duck pillow gaming.
I would have said just, why did you tell that story?
That was awful. I thought it was the interesting story.
Fuck you.
That was a great story.
How dare you?
Dog pillow gaming.
Where's your fucking equivalent duck pillow gaming?
Yeah, where's your story then?
I don't have a...
There's a...
I don't have a quingy story.
There's another time where a jar went into duck pillow gaming.
We put all of...
That's a fingernail.
Oh, that's mine.
I'll take that.
Why is there a fingernail?
It was just in my sock.
To hear.
In your sock?
You fucking don't know.
No, it was a...
I obviously walked in it and it's got stuck to my sock.
It's not my toe, now.
No, there's another timeline where Duck Biller Gaming has like 15 million subscribers.
Yeah.
Yeah, legit.
We're all living in L.A.
In the jar house.
Damn.
Okay.
Ododas asks this.
What light types are the cast of Madagascar?
Light types?
I'm not answering.
As in LED neon incandescent and fluorescent.
No, fuck that.
I'm not answering this question.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
Stop.
Light types.
Fuck you.
Get out of here.
Personally, I think Alex's LED.
Alex is not LED for the record.
No, he's neon.
Marty is LED.
Yeah.
Alex is neon.
Flashy, kind of.
Yeah.
Juice Guy 50 says, what do you think of open season?
Don't...
The movie.
Which open season characters are the Madagascar guy?
Just start.
I only know the main two.
Isn't it like a bear and a...
Moose?
Yeah, like a moose or a reindeer or something.
I don't know.
Brother Bear's better than a...
and season.
Brother Bear's pretty shit.
They're both pretty shade.
I can't throw a shade at Brother Bear.
I've seen it once and when it came out.
It was just like Disney's really
lame period.
Yeah, they just kept missing.
But they weren't very good either.
They were just...
I mean, I guess that phase not really...
Yeah, that's right.
Wait, I just needed to toss some shade
at modern Disney movies.
Go ahead.
Because they're still totally in that phase.
Their movies still aren't great.
but they're not like bad enough to hate
they're just
incredibly mediocre
yeah they're just really popular
now yeah
I guess that's the biggest difference
yeah
monopoly baby
actually now like
zootropolis was pretty good
I don't see it
that's only
too many like perves
were
her attacks for that movie in my mind now
wolf 34 the movie
yeah
but like that's just fucking
at every animated movie at this point
Yeah, yeah, it's true
Like I saw like there's this whole fandom around the mum
From
Onward the latest Pixar movie
So where's this kind of fucking end?
That's because he's a mum
Of course James would say that
What?
I just, I...
You know, mulf hunter himself
No, Pixar do have a certain way of making mum's look
Milfs
They both do it
Yeah
They've both been doing that
No, everywhere, everywhere does it
Mums have to
Mums
Okay
What about this then
From uh
Joseph Zed Khan
What game consoles are the jail members
This is their choice
See if you agree
Okay
Alex, the Wii
Manchild
Who is also the most well known
James the PS1
From a Japanese company
High Abundance of Quality Racing Games
Ruben
The Xbox one.
Powerful Chad, who you don't see much of these days.
The Xbox 1 is in the Xbox 1 or the first Xbox.
The Xbox 1 is in the Xbox 1.
Right.
Not the original Xbox.
I don't think that really applies because the Xbox 1 in many regards was an embarrassment.
It was a fucking embarrassment.
360.
Yeah, I'd say Reuben the Xbox 360.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Jim, the PS3.
a beast of a console if there ever was one
again I changed that because I hate the
PS3
yeah I saw a picture
I saw a thumbnail of one of
buggy's latest videos which was like his
console tier list and he had
PS3 in S tier
in the thumbnail anyway
which made me quite angry
dude that
the controller of the PS3 is enough
to make it back console
those first wave controllers were like
the worst pieces of shit
I've ever experienced
it wasn't just first wave though
Those just were the PS3 controllers
If I don't think that's true
Really?
They did not get better
But I got a PlayStation way after
An older one
An older PlayStation
Yeah we didn't have any money
You couldn't afford like a
Did I not get a controller?
No it was it was used
No I know the PlayStation was
But I thought I bought a controller at some point
No
Controllers have always been like really expensive
Yeah yeah
What's their reasoning for me being the PS3 though
A beast of a console if there ever was one
To be fair, that thing was pretty, like, beefy.
Beastly does describe the PS3.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because the PS3 kind of beastliness is more notable than the Xbox One original.
It's kind of beastly in a bad way.
It's like, ugh, that's just kind of a fucking monstrosity, whereas the PS3 at the time was kind of like...
It was kind of ahead of its time.
Yeah.
In terms of the, like, actual consoles that was up against as well, it was probably the most...
stable
why are you laughing
he's stinky
farted
yes why are you farting so crazily
because there's poo
you're channeling argue
that's messed up
but yeah otherwise I
quite agree with the
yeah
the assignment I'm going to call myself
the PS2 because
the PS2 is popular
and
so Argy's the PSP then
yeah argues the PSP
and Paisley's the
switch
D.S. Light.
No, the original, because it's got Nintendo.
Don't do that, James.
Oh, shit.
In the audio.
Tun Lang asks this.
Alex mentioned in a cast about being a fan of Zero's
Smash Bros content. I was wondering if Alex
or anyone else on the cast has heard about
all the allegations of paedophilia, sexual
assault, abuse, and more
that has come out been admitted about by
top players, including those about Zero.
If so,
Let me start by answering the question
Because I mentioned it would have been so long ago
It would have been around
It would have been when smash was still newish
Yeah and some yeah
When we were playing it a lot
And at the time I was watching zero a fair amount
But then I got quickly sick of his videos
Because it was just the
Daily upload
I can't take it with the daily upload channels
There's something about it that just pisses me off so much
Um
That's just a me thing there
But yeah
This stuff
This whole Sky House
Smash Bros thing
It's like the most fucked
It's so
Weird
Yeah just trying to wrap your head around it
It takes
It takes a lot
To actually understand
How any of this actually
Happened in the first place
With that whole
Smash House
I don't even fully understand it
Because you can't actually
Find out about it online
It's not like a thing
Well the way it kind of work
was that Sky Williams
own this house
and what owns, I don't know.
Went it, I think it was a joint went thing.
But the point was he had this little kind of
almost fascist dictatorship going on
in this little microcosm
where he was like the ringleader kind of owner
of this dynamic where he owned this house
and he was kind of allocating rooms and space
for these people, a lot of them smash players,
coming in but there were also people that would just like bunk in rooms because they just wanted a cheap place to live for a bit because there were like how many people in the house there was around 20 to 21 I think um with multiple people sharing bedrooms it was like two it was like four people per room so it was four desks so each had their desk so I made videos yeah they're like pictures of like what the kitchen look like and stuff and it's just like a fucking mess like I don't know how you could possibly think it was a
good idea. I had no idea.
I don't know how anyone in that
situation would have been comfortable doing that.
People, when they're
in cities and they're just looking
for a place to live, like, they get desperate.
I guess.
Like, a cheap place to bunk in a
popular city.
It's really valuable.
So people will put up with shit, weren't they?
And with, like, all the
weird, like,
you know, the money side of it.
and they're all like smash players all practicing
and of course it just led to the depravity that wound up going on.
Yeah, it's hard to say.
It's just there was like a 15-year-old in there.
He's like an artist and there was bad shit there.
That's one of the weirdest things to me.
Like, why was this person living with all these men?
That relates.
How did Sky let that happen in particular?
because my understanding was
her home life was really bad
really bad
extremely bad so then this one person
offered her
offered her like
to make like a tiny team
and then they go into that house
and then he abused her
what Sky Williams
no this person
and then
the rest of the people there including zero
were really weird
like really strange like
showing porn all the time and just doing really
like weird shit
that's what I mean
like how did
nobody in that situation was like
hold on
doesn't nobody else
think this is kind of wrong
yeah
and then
yeah and then obviously
and Abby did you see the way
Sky Williams has addressed it all
no I've
he did a vote on Twitter
saying how should I address this
should I do a twit longer, should I stream it
or make a video or something
and what won was a twit longer
and then he deleted the tweet
and then did a live stream
where he talked about it so I guess
he could monetise it a bit
yeah and he kept getting like donations and shit during
he's a fucking shady
ass person like there's a lot of just
like man you're fucking really
manipulating people and all that fuck
yeah it's just a fucked situation
I just the whole idea the
Smash House in the first place was bound to
go wrong because you can't do that.
I'd never heard of it until all of this drama.
I'd heard of it before
because some players were very anti-It
I believe and they were just like this is
not great. But I think
zero is gone now, isn't he? I think he's
just done. Yeah, for now. I assume
Sky Williams is going to be
the same because how can you come back from that?
You know, unless you're a
you know, Keemstar or someone like that
I just don't know. Unless you're one of
those uncancellables.
don't know how you can really come back from something like this bad a lot we'll find out yeah a lot
of the big yeah i don't know how many players have been like canceled but there's been a fair few
quite big ones but like the amount of people involved in that house is a bit like twice there was
major players and one of them you two i think got out like quite early on so he's like avoided
yeah because obviously none of like no one truly knows what happened apart from the people that
are involved so we're just seeing all these like tweets about it and all these like
yeah I mean and even then if you're in a house with that many people
like I'm sure there's like loads of stuff you just wouldn't know that's happening
yeah if you if anyone wants to know
though my the clearest way I've got it is a Gsu art
she was the girl the 15 year old in there she's done a whole like to it longer
about it and explains like the situation find that and I believe you can
there's a mega thread on our smash bro's yeah it's probably on there but so
really like her up by the way she's a great
artist.
Odd does as, again, I think
we answered something from them already. Yeah, if you didn't
say that fuck zero. What, yeah, I mean, and all of them
stop watching ages, I guess.
Especially the fact that he like
bullshit
he had a statement. Yeah, he tried
to weasel out of it.
Four times, I think, before it was just like, yeah, this is
like, yeah. Oh, I thought it was just
the one. And then it's just like, oh, people aren't
buying it. Oh, this is the truth.
There's no way to spin it after.
all the information
up that badly
but that says a lot about
him when you're actually
trying to weasel out of that shit
like come on
yeah if that's your first response
fuck that
but anyway Oda Zaz says
what do you think
of the legality of weed
and other drugs
here in Canada
marijuana was made legal
and I hope that other countries
decide to follow suit
as Canada is far from the first country
to change the legality
and so far it seems
that there is no negative
to legalising
personally I believe all drugs should believe
legal at least to use
not dealers fuck heroin and meth dealers
but I don't see how drug users are criminals
they are more victims since there is
an argument to be made that
prison helps drug addicts quit
I could see prison being acceptable
but what I find wrong is giving them criminal
records which force them to live lives
of crime instead of going straight
that ties in and this is my
same belief it's the Portuguese route
completely decriminalized
if you've got cocaine
you're not a criminal
they will offer you support
unless you have like a room like if you're dealing if you're trying to deal it that's a crime like
there's no reason and I will say this why drugs should be illegal I don't get it yeah what's
most sick to me is that especially with the way so many like systematic structures are in place
like the NHS or in America just the way like medical institutions work where a lot of the
they happily will just prescribe these incredibly heavy painkillers and then stop prescribing
them and then your you're fucked your only route for that intense addiction is to fucking buy
heroin illegal it's so much cheaper like there's a there's a certain drug where if you'd like do
really severe shit if you're your back it'll like fuck you up for days like that's that's that's
like incredibly large drugs and when people go on that there's a lot of times and when they're
given a lot of it it's just like
they need it, they want it, they constantly.
So they break into pharmacies and steal it
because it's just like that's what they want.
This stuff has been on my mind recently
because Jim and I have a family member
who is literally addicted to a pretty powerful
opioid, yeah.
An opioid prescribed by her GP
and in like she's, it's like been ruining her life
for months now.
And when she called up the GP to be like,
I like to say that she thinks she's concerned
that she's addicted to them.
And then the GP, like, laughed and was like, yeah.
Yeah, I suppose you're a junkie now or something.
Yeah, you, like, joked about her being a junkie.
And it's like, you fucking prick.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
She did that.
It's disgusting how, like, just like the most obscene drugs are like, oh, it's medical.
We'll fucking get you addicted to it.
And she's the, she's like a boomer as well.
So she, like, really trusts every single word that comes out of the GP's mouth.
So, like, it meant a lot to her to, like, because,
she especially hates like putting any
medicines and stuff without like researching it
and really believing that it's going to do the trick
so that's really pissed me off
and yeah it goes beyond that
like it as the question said
like I just don't understand blaming
drug addicts for being addicted
you know
punishing them for it that's the weird part to me
the thing the thing is is people only get addicted
because it's illegal
because if reader is legal
people wouldn't be slowly drip fed into
cocaine and harder drugs by drug dealers
because it will be legal
so you cut out addiction there
that solves quite a lot of people
because that's how you get addicted is through that type
oh here's a fucking gram
oh here's two oh here's five
and then you're addicted and then they're getting
that fucking argument people try to make
where like
this gateway drug argument
yeah that's only because
it's criminalised so you've
put it in the group of illegal things.
Like, beer isn't a gateway to weed.
No.
Because beer is in the legal section.
You have to be drip fed it from illegal means to finally...
Yeah, that's where it all began with me with the legality of it,
where the hypocrisy of what is legal and what isn't.
It's just so inconsistent and frustrating to me that...
I'm not really sure if every drug should just be legal.
to buy
just from shops
decriminalising definitely
no because if you do look into
how Portuguese has done it there's been no negative
I don't think
I can't say certain but I don't think there's been
massive issues of the whole decriminalisation
because imagine how many addicts are too frightened
to get help get help because they're fearful
of the stigma against being
an addict well not just the stigma
but any possible legal repercussions
of it why would anyone ever
try to get
do better
and then it's just like
it's really slippery stoke
because when you spend so much money
on like you know
cocaine and all
all that
that shit's expensive
yeah so when you can't get that
hip you need it you resort to other things
and that's why we've got these fucked up drugs like
Crocodile which fuck you up because they're the
most dirtiest shit because people are being
destroyed by the actual drug and
financially yeah do you think
though
um
it being decriminalized
would make people more willing to try it.
Do you think that's a possibility?
Yeah.
But it's just like...
But like it...
So, well, we got to let the government dictate
what substances we're allowed to choose,
whether to get addicted to or not.
We're allowed to choose if you want to get addicted to cigarettes,
sugar, coffee, alcohol, you know.
I would like to say
the people who are going to try it
are going to try it if it's legal
or not. I have friends who are not
like I know if it's legal they're never going to try
because they're just not that type
I don't think if illegal
would change that. I don't know if that's
necessarily true.
It's hard to say but
I mean it's such like a taboo though
like from my experience in the UK
like people
don't want to openly talk about it because it
is considered such a like
no you can't
yeah talk about this because of this fucking like
war on drugs thing like if you do any
research into the whole history of it
it's just like founded on
complete BS most
of it you know
yeah well I just think there's
there's got to be some sort of middle ground
you know because
yeah which is
don't punish the people who are hopelessly
addicted to something who desperately
yeah especially if it's something like
you've been
prescribed these pain pills
and then they're just
yanked away
like withdrawal is a real
fucking thing and
like it affects your brain chemistry
you can't just willpower your way through it
you can't go sure some people can't
you can't go cold turkey off of drugs
even alcohol because it fucks you up
Amy Winehouse died for a reason
that's cold turkey
yeah you cannot cold turkey
ever
it fucks you up
yeah man
In our ideal world
I want it to be decriminalised and I want
I think that's the first step
is to decriminalise
It's not decriminalising isn't making it legal
It's just like not making it
Because it's just like
I mean if if
If you were
If some impressionable person was at a party
And they were offered coke
Rich is a lot of young people
Yeah but do you think
They would be more likely to accept
if they knew that
there couldn't be legal repercussions
probably
in the party environment yeah
I mean that's the one aspect of it
that I would question but I do agree with you
for the most part
when it comes to the majority of drugs
like it's not fair
to
ruin these people's lives
that them being illegal
is what puts people a lot of people
often I think it acts as a deterrent
in
but but
It gives the wrong message, though.
It's a case-by-case basis, you know?
Yeah, but my problem with it is it does just give off the wrong message,
where we have these, like, these things in place that are incredibly hypocritical
that make no sense.
And you go down this rabbit hole where once you find out these demonized drugs that you've been told
are this one way your whole life, and then you experience it for yourself,
and you're like, oh, this is nothing like the way the government has been telling me this thing.
is and like the scariness and all this about it
and then you find out for yourself and you're like
well maybe the other shit that is all illegal is actually
the same way so it could propel you in that direction
that's a good point yeah so
there's so many like facets that
but if you yeah if you if you just look at the stats that come out of Portugal
I mean that the thing you've got to think of there
and I've seen this argument from Portuguese people
young people will do stupid shit
one like you're young you've been at a party yeah you've got a little bit of cocaine on you
if you're in this country you can have a criminal record you can't get jobs you're not
you you can't supply yourself for the future you've ruined your life in portugal and that's
case it's just like these young people who are doing stupid things while young yeah aren't
fucking up their lives and kind of well yeah i don't know how to say this like they're not
they don't help the economy when they're they're fucking addicted well as the question said it
what other choice do you have if you have a criminal record and you can't get a job
than to just go back into like some kind of drug-related trade?
That's the great irony.
And then you start dealing it.
Yeah.
And that's a whole other thing.
I remember in a every year there's like a little festival in our town.
One year I remember this big kerfuffle because like a 19 year old was caught with like a joint
and he was arrested and he would have a criminal record now because of that.
Like that's worse.
Like weed as well.
Like, I'd really dislike it.
And I can straight, like, the criminal convictions in Portugal of young people with drugs is...
It's like, have you ever been at a train station on, like, a Saturday?
And seeing the, like, state of people, like, all just pissed out of their minds.
Like, just harassing people, fucking walking around, stumbling over, vomiting.
Like, that's allowed.
Like, why... I just don't understand.
One 19-year-old with a joint is...
It's so bad.
But it's like, if it wasn't criminalised...
It would do good for, you know, prison systems, in some cases, you know,
just government services because they're not going to process these crimes
and better for the economy because these people have jobs because they're not being criminalised.
I just want to see, like, proper education and proper research being done into it.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to just know the truth.
I don't want to know the fucking bullshit spin on it.
I just want to know what these substances are, what they're capable of, what the risks are.
And we can't properly assess it when they're these, like,
taboo subjects that were scared to even talk about the legality that is a good point the
thing it was it's like that they're it's fear mongering yeah the war on drugs yeah but in
doing that you're the only way for people to find out the truth is to do it
themselves the thing I know this this isn't exactly related but the thing I
find really ironic is
what is that that Tory party
for really young people and they just
be cunts? The Bullington Club?
I guarantee you how many times they've probably
done really hard drugs constantly
in their youth and then they're the people of the country
leading the country and they've done it. It's just so
fucking hippoical and I hate it.
Yeah.
Just decriminalised. That's right.
People should follow Portugal
on it. Generally follow
Portugal, look into the actual scientific
fucking facts, the statistics.
That's the truth. You follow that.
Yeah. It's just sad that it's like the seriousness of some of these addictions, like, the help you need.
You're just saying. It's so ridiculous.
To be pulled out of that.
Like, I'm pretty sure back in the Vice days when it was good before it went weird, they did some really good stuff on actual drug addicts here.
And it's like these...
Especially like in Scotland.
It shows like them trying to get help and it's just like, I don't get any help.
I can't do anything.
I have to go back.
It's fucking sad, man.
But yeah, like, there's loads of videos to watch
if anyone wants to get some information and watch it.
Yeah.
There's actually a really good one about the Portuguese system
and, like, it's comparison, all that.
Yeah, and this isn't out of some, like,
want or need to be, like, I just want every drug,
so I can just, you know,
lose my mind every day.
No, no, no.
I just, I think you just...
You want to be responsible, but you also want there to be some,
logic to the way this stuff is kind of
constructed.
How about this?
Cherry Rabbit Loss says
Have any of you watched Angry Joe's review on The Last
Plus 2? If so, do you agree with what he said
and the rating he gave it?
I only know the rating he gave it.
Oh, what do you give it?
What do you think? What's your guess?
What did Angry Joe give the Last 5?
You got it?
Boom.
And as far as it
just going off that score
it's fair
I think it's fair
I mean I disagree
but
yeah he can have
knowing angry Joe
like
if he was like
this is a one out of ten
I fuck this game
then maybe I'd be like
come on angry Joe
but I feel like a six from Angry Joe
is lower than a six from me
if that makes sense
I guess if he didn't like the story
he's not alone in it
No, like it's totally valid to, not like that game.
But no, I haven't watched the video.
Let's end on this one then, from Sleazy Rabbit.
Any plans on making the cast longer consistently now that you have the new camera?
210 was the longest cast I can remember besides the year-we-year, which was three hours long.
I personally like the longer cast.
It reminds me of the James and Alex saga of extra long casts last year when Jim was in Mexico.
Either way, glad that you guys are back in person
and making the POS stacked.
Yeah, we're probably going to make them shorter, if anything.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know.
What James is pointing out if you're watching the video version is the timer.
We have a timer on the screen.
We used it when we had to have a camera
so we knew when time was up and all that.
When it was going to cut out.
Yeah.
And so far, the first two episodes,
we've actually recorded for a long time,
but it's just we've cut.
I don't know how much of this time they were.
was you trying to pee?
Quite a long time.
Yeah, it was like half an hour.
20 minutes.
It was about half an hour.
It was about to...
The poo didn't come out, but it sounds like...
It smells like it's coming out right now.
Oh, actually, no, there's one more question I want to end on.
Okay.
Sorry.
Comic book Archer says,
Hey, guys, I'm interested in trying CBD
after hearing what you said on the last episodes.
What's the percentage of CBD and the oil you use
and how much of it do you take?
I don't really know which oil to buy
so I'm curious what you guys use
Thanks for reading this
Um
Yeah no you'd be tried it last time didn't you
You tried um oil
No the um
I'm the one who takes the oil
I too have oil
I've tried the oil and
It's not
You all you do for the oil is it's just
Three drops under the tongue
Three
Three drops under the tongue
You hold it there for a minute
And swallow and then it's done
Three
Three
You can't like what are you gonna do with it in your mouth
just leave it there.
I did it totally wrong then.
They do?
There's lots of different ways to do it.
Oil might not work.
Like, you've had the tea.
Yeah, I mean, everything...
There's different forms.
There's loads of different forms and there's...
But what percentage?
Um...
Because that, the oil I take is 20%,
but you can...
That's quite a strong one.
Yeah.
You should always start at five.
That's the lowest down you can get.
And the...
With CBD,
with it, it's kind of like, it's kind of, it's legal, but there's a lot of companies that
sell dirty products. They're saying like cheap CBD that's not got the best carriers, it's not
great. I have, I have, I, I, I, I, there's someone I know who actually, you know, he, he set up
a CBD company and sells, gets a stuff straight from California, like the oils, so it's really
good quality shit.
You know, actually, um, the UK is one of the biggest producers of weed, weirdly.
That's wild.
But I have this.
Like medical grade.
The one I buy is
Sibdol Swiss purity 20%.
The company is called Sibdol, C-I-B-D-O-L.
If you want to start with yours,
I'd go for a 5% full spectrum.
Yeah, I mean, even if you do have a 20%,
you're not going to get hurt by it.
No, but you should get your body used to it.
Because over time, you'll react better to it
because it's a new kind of thing for your body and your mind.
Go with full spectrum because the broad spectrum has a little bit of THC in,
like a very trace amount.
It's like 0.03 or something like that.
I buy the board,
I buy the board spectrum from my, my guy at, um, nature's solution.
Just does it local to us.
So it's like, I've, I've given you guys some stuff to try.
Yeah, good.
So it's just he delivers to me and he's just like, I know him from, from,
my work and it's you know you it's a good thing to start and if you can get some teas as well to
see what you like well that that that would be my recommendation because um i don't know if
you've got something nicer since but my experience with the oil was that it actually
taste quite foul that's no that's it just tastes like olive oil putting it in your mouth with
like a kind of weedy taste to it that that you oil you had i'm pretty sure was bad
it's like my guy specifically said
this is a bad oil, don't buy it
but this mice guy has
But even then like just having oil in your mouth
To me isn't the nicest
So I prefer one
It's just so efficient though
And you don't have to eat anything
Yeah yeah
But I like I
It's nice to have a hot drink
Of an evening
And if you just have like a tea bag
I guess I guess the oil thing's just kind of cheaper
Yeah maybe
I don't know it lasts a long time
It does
I bought one at the start of quarantine
and I've only just run out.
Oh, right, well.
I've bought one at the start of quarantine as well,
and I'm nowhere near one out, but then...
But I use it way more regular than you do.
But I try it.
I have a lot of other things as well.
Like, teas are a really great way,
because I used to have one in the morning.
Yeah, I had one in the morning,
but it's just like...
It's not cheap green tea,
but, like, you know, it's CBDs you've got to expect.
It's going to be more expensive.
Like 20 bags or something.
It took me a good month to get through,
and it's just like, when I wanted to be cheo,
I just have this.
because it worked for me.
Just having green tea, it tasted nice,
I just chilled out, and it's nice.
That's a really nice way to do it
because you feel normal doing it in a way.
Like, the oil, you've got to do the whole process,
but drinking just a normal thing you might do anyway with, like, tea.
It's a really easy way to do it.
And it's one I do, and it's helped with my work stress and whatnot.
And it's, you can get green teas, normal teas, anything, really.
and then you can get like you know cookies and whatnot
there you go
definitely try out my guy
because he's great
check out James's guy
there could be a jar discount code at some point
that's saying my guy
makes it sounds way more like dodgy
yeah weeding
no I mean
the company I use it's a legal product
you can buy it but he's just
a colleague and his stuff is actually
really good it sounded like you said
it's illegal product
it's a perfectly legal product
is that better
that's perfect
yeah that's episode 211 then
quite chunky
