Action
James, you have been messing with me long enough

Downtown.
You see, the key to all of this is getting James to work.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen
and welcome to the...
An episode of the JARCast.

Thank you,

Big thank you from the
big man.
The big man, Alex.
Speaking of the big man, Alex,
I believe you have something to tell us.
So,
I got to apologize. First of
up um i know people don't like starting the cast off in like a really serious kind of heavy-handed
topic kind of way um but i i want to make a sincere apology about something genuinely james
i need to apologize to the jarlings i need to just get it out there you know yeah i'm i'm sorry i mocked
diarrhea okay like years I made light of something that impacts people's lives
and I was full of you know hubris thought I was above it and I'd never
experienced it for myself but one once upon a time you're gonna end up sitting
on the toilet and you're gonna get the old and it's gonna be so
painful and it's not just going to happen once but it's going to happen again and again
and you're going to start crying and you're going to want to you know we're not going to go into
too much detail everyone knows what diarrhea is would you say it was uh like a fart shit explosion
no it was a shit fart explosion oh okay so it was uh it was like the cork or the
dam was the shit. I've got diarrhea, okay? And the farts was the breaking of the dam and the explosion
was the explosion. You're just making it too complicated. I like calling a spade a spade and just
being honest. When was the last time you had diarrhea? That's what I'm saying, it must have been
I was convinced that I was kind of trapped in a perpetual state of diarrhea. I thought
that was my normal state. When in actuality
it must be more normal
because what I'm experiencing at the moment is abnormal
that being diarrhoea
so diarrhea has been knocking on your door for a while
the grim reaper looming over my bed every night
waiting a strike
is the four o'clock strikes or the nine o'clock strikes
in terms of time urgency
Hmm. Um...
It's the hourly strike.
Just like put it in the 50.
But genuinely.
I just want to...
That's my topic, diarrhea.
Let's be adults here.
Let's talk about this in civilized...
It's not funny for fuck's sake.
It's not. Stop it!
I'm not doing anything.
You're looking down and smiling.
Away from the camera.
so they can't see it.
I had something in my eye.
I am an experienced man
when it comes to diarrhea.
I have...
What the fuck does that mean?
I have had many...
What does that mean?
Your experience that it wasn't funny.
You out here.
That was a shock laugh.
Let me finish.
I have had many diarrhoes.
So I know the diarrhea.
What kind of diarrhea
was it?
Are we talking...
I was thinking about that actually.
Are we...
No, no.
Are we talking liquid?
Not, not, not,
not, not, chute,
not like chunky.
Are we talking pure liquid?
Or like,
a fucking...
Bitty...
It depends how much
excruciating detail
you want me to go in
for the listeners out there.
What do you require of me?
What is the line?
The truth?
Yes.
Because I...
I can tell you, in truth, last, this time, two weeks ago, I had awful diarrhea.
And it was so bad, my stomach was hurting level of bad.
And how did you remedy it?
What do you do?
I shitted it all out.
So you don't try and remedy it in a way?
No, because for me, it's like, as long as my stomach is still bad, the diarrhea is not going to stop.
so I've just got to get through the storm
and just shit it all out
and then if I've got nothing in me
to shit out
I won't shit out
um
ginger
as much as I don't really like the taste of ginger
ginger is a
a curative remedy item
which uh
how does it stop
well I was in the supermarket earlier
and I was like uh
because I had to do an emergency poop in the supermarket
which is never a fun thing
to do. Oh, never.
Ooh.
Um, and I was like, this, this has gone on long enough.
I need something to soothe me.
So I got one of those, like, ginger shots.
Um, it's not alcoholic, it's just a, like, ginger.
You drink it and then you feel great.
I didn't know ginger was a, a, um, something to help your diarrhea.
I didn't know that was a thing.
A remedy, yes.
But you asked a question and
I'm sorry for those listening, but
the one thought
that went through my head when I was
clearing up business
was
if this
I can't
fucking say it dog
if this was drizzled over a piece of
cheesecake James would be fucking
drooling right now.
That's all I could think.
so we're talking chocolate rain yeah chocolate rain mm-hmm yeah what would the of course the
initial sort of onslaught the shit fart explosion yeah so how often did you get the
chocolate rain what the fuck you're talking about I've already explained no how
often like no did it happen every like hour
every half hour, every two hours.
I need to know time.
I don't know why you need to know the time.
Okay, then let's go into one of my diary stories, okay?
So, one day I ate something bad, real bad.
So it was like...
Probably.
And it was like two in the morning, and it's just like...
This happened for three days straight,
and it's like, I get this, like, feeling in my stomach where it's just like...
It's like kind of pain, but it's not.
And at that moment, it's like...
I'm gonna fucking shit to my...
shit to myself. Do you think it's because of your gut flora
screaming at you? Probably, but it was just like, it was
really painful and I knew I needed a shit. So I literally
would one to the bathroom and I would just fart and there would be
the fucking, just, the entire fucking one side of the toilet would just be
shit everywhere. And I would sit there
and I would have to push out shit for like a good half hour
at a time. Then I'd go back to bed and then I'd get the
same feeling again then I'd have to one back
and forth to the toilet and I
would do that I did this this was actually
hell it happened for three
days straight and I didn't for those three days
I didn't sleep or anything
and it got to the third day when it was
like five morning and the only
fault that was going through my head was I want to die
like that's how bad the diarrhea was
so I was just like
that's it
fucking kill me
that's what I would have preferred
then another day of
not sleeping and just having to go to toilet
every 10 minutes
what the fuck
first of all
what to the fuck
secondly
what was the cause of that
I don't
I don't know
but it happened
for a few days
but then like two weeks later
it happened again
so now like genuinely
it's actually fucking traumatized me
because if I get a bad stomach
at like one in the morning
it's just like I'm in
For hell.
I don't know what caused it, but it was misery.
So I feel sorry for anyone who's experienced such traumatic events as well.
Yeah, all I can really suggest is ginger.
Ginger.
And, um, eat, um, you know, fiber greens.
And if it comes knocking at 2 in the morning, get wedy.
You're in it for the slog.
thoughts Jim
I mean
what are your thoughts
we have heard
surprisingly little
from you on this topic dude
I've
I've had a surprisingly
little amount of
diarrhea experiences in my life
there you go
that's a sign of a healthy
gut flora
this dude over here
is obsessed with gut flora
can we explain
where that came from
who
because I
whenever I hear the term
gut flora
a picture
like a prehistoric landscape with loads of dinosaurs
why what I knew this is going to leave back to dinosaurs
like it makes flora it makes me think of flowers
yeah which makes me think of dinosaurs
because I think of prehistoric flowers
he's only he's only saying that because we literally watched
Jurassic World fucking two hours ago
yeah yeah we watch about 20 movies like
last forwarded
so what upsets is it the dinosaurs that upset your stomach floor your gut floor
no I'm happy with my gut flora for the most part I'm suffering because I stupidly ate way
way too much dairy yesterday no but gonna admit it when when you have diarrhea is it
the dinosaurs causing havoc to your gut flora I don't think it's literally dinosaurs
I just like I'm using your fucking met you think you genuinely think there are tiny
dinosaurs living inside me
Although, no, I don't.
Dinosaur boy.
Got a problem with that?
Huh?
Yeah, I do.
Anyway, Jim, you were saying?
I was asking you why you've attached yourself to gut flora and all things relating to intestines.
Because part of me was...
cautious, you know how, and this will make sense, this will come around.
You know how in Mass Effect, Commander Shepard is, he's kind of, he knows the Reaper threat
is coming, but he knows it's going to be in the future, and he's doing what he can to prevent it.
I'm kind of treating it as in a preventative kind of system.
How did that come back around?
I was mass effect
So you think
diarrhea is inevitable
Like there's a cycle of diarrhea
And it's always coming
And all you can do is delay it
All you can do is keep as healthy as you can
So when it does strike
You can deal with it
I haven't had diarrhea in a bike
You said to
You said you get it every week
No
I said that in that circumstance
I had it week
after week, but my last one was because I ate KFC cabab, cheap pizza, and a lot of alcohol
in the space of a day, so I just kind of destroyed myself.
Speaking of destruction, did you hear the doomsday clock is set to like 100 seconds to
midnight, midnight being nuclear destruction? No, just destruction. Explain? Explain what you're
talking about. Some place somewhere has a doomsday. There's a board of atomic scientists I believe
where they predict because they are experts actually fully people they use the current situation
in the world to predict how close we are to annihilation so that can be manmade or actual
global warming type stuff and it happens year on year and they always for the last few years
it's gone forward and currently we are now 100 seconds away from annihilation.
and there's one thing about this
I read about this two weeks ago
before they announced it
and I got really depressed
severely depressed
because it reminded me
how fucked the world is
and what we're currently doing to it
and how nothing's changing
and we are literally going to
annihilate ourselves completely
out of a lack of care
really
but yeah
yeah so it's come down
to two factors
and that's nuclear war
right
and climate change
the two funniest topics
yes
I thought I'd
those are the two
sort of change gear
we've gone from
first gear
we skipped straight
we've gone to fucking
8th gear now
we blew the car up
blew the gear box up
we're well we're 100 seconds away
from blowing up
why
what do you think has changed
in the
last like month to bring this on the no because it's year on year so I don't think
the year well I mean between now and last January last January last January I can't
thinking of the differences that have happened in a year on like a massive scale I can't
think of any major last year that were really factored into it all that much because
not much has changed because because think about this year already we've
had the fires in Australia.
Really severe.
We've had the Iran conflict stuff in America
and everyone just thought the whole world was going to be nuked.
And now we've got the
Corwin virus.
It's currently going through Asia.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
I mean...
I think the Australian fires that do count into it quite a bit
because that is almost a result of global warming in a way
because obviously increased temperatures
because they've had record-breaking heat.
So obviously they always have bushfires.
So, obviously, they can have more when there's an increased heat.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's the same with Qatar and all that,
where they're having record-breaking heat because of global warming,
and people want to deny that, which is just ridiculous.
So out of all of it, nuclear war realistically can't happen.
We are smart enough to not do it.
So even with Donald Trump in charge and other countries,
they know they're not going to do nuclear war,
because it will just annihilate everyone.
That's what I don't understand about making these, like, biochemicals
that can infect everyone in the planet in the in like a week or something like surely you've just doomed the whole world like how can you stop that from spreading you know to where the point of origin was unless you're on an island and you stop all forms of communication or something it depends what it is they develop because if it is like um what was it novi chock novet yeah the new russian chocolate brand the if you touch it you die i don't know if they have like a
expiry date where if it stays on something for so long because you have the all these people
testing out like just seeing what kind of weapons they can produce but the thing with biochemical
weapons is they're pretty much found upon by everyone they're pretty much banned and if they
were to be used in war it's just like it would it would change the war in the way it's like
everyone against them in a way to like everyone's played resident evil two we know what the
worst case scenario is you know like we know zombies inevitably
not really
but back to the point
nuclear war will just never happen
do you want to bet on it
no I'm pretty sure to lose lose
because there's no way it can
I think I agree
I think it's extremely unlikely
like it because it doesn't make sense
in terms of war
Because, like, at the end of it, you want there to be, like, a gain, you know?
And what have you gained if, like, the land you could have gone and taken, essentially?
Is radiated for, like, the next million years.
Yeah, completely unusual.
Because the way I view it is, we've got to be realistic.
And the world's richest people are the people who will lose the most out of something like a nuclear war.
So why would any of the top, like, 2% allow that to happen when that is money?
Because you can go new Kairan, but then what does Iran have?
Iran have oil.
Oil is gone.
Then that's billions lost.
On a level, that won't ever happen.
And no matter what, it will always be prevented by that class.
So it's just like, I don't think that should be factored really into the atomic clock, all that much.
Well, I think the interesting part of this, this, like, idea and topic to me is how the average person is supposed to,
deal knowing
the information we know now
you know like how is the normal person
who like they live their own little life
they got their own shit going on
they go to work
they just have a normal fucking life
and they find out all this shit
about World War III
and like people like these super
weapons and chemical warfare
and the world is burning
and everything like
what that's the thing
like how much of it is just
um like the the fact that everybody knows more now yeah because the like the world has never not
been a chaotic scary place right yeah the things the the way the world operates is inherently
somewhat you know like chaotic there's so much going on you know like let alone all the
different organisms that live on it but all the natural processes earthquakes you know tectonic plates
ocean's movement you know the moon and the way that affects like waves and everything it's like so
much shit like just an incomprehensible amount of um just systems for a laugh of better word all
like interacting with each other so many variables all like shoved onto this like planet or
whatever like it's impossible to even comprehend so let alone when we get down to this level where
we're like look what we are just doing to it you know and then the personal responsibility of like
well what more can i do it's what annoying me so much about that bill nye video he put out ages ago
where he was like it was like a really condescending you need to sort it out guy type video like
you can fix the world and it's like what you know like the like a normal citizen who like
recycles their shit and like is switched on a little bit they think about their energy usage and
stuff like
yeah what else
how does that spark change
you know yeah that's the thing
it doesn't and it's like I'm pretty sure
there's been some
investigation to this and it's just like
if the majority of population change
it's just like the majority of
destruction that's coming from the planet is not from
individuals it's from corporations
so if everybody changes it's still like the corporations
are still doing the damage so nothing will change
it's not down to an individual it's down to
like a massive
corporational country to enforce
change. I don't get that
and it's just like it honestly depresses me
and it's just like I'm fucking powerless in the cycle
I can't do anything. Do you think
how much of it
is
because we really
don't understand anything
you know? Like we only read
headlines. Yeah. We can only
understand like our
part of it like we're not
like an all knowing super god that can
see like what's happening around the world.
you know and like we can just take like well researched like theory and
advancements from people we trust with information right so like where do you draw
the line and be like humans are kind of inherently fear-mongering you know yeah like we
you and I were talking earlier just saying like when you're annoyed at someone you make
that known you know but like when everything's going or
right and everything's going well you're not really communicating that and it's only when shit is
like really bad in some way that you start to really express that you know um i don't know how well
i'm explaining myself but it's really hard to tell what the actual truth is you know it's actually
that what you were just talking about it's actually an evolutionary yeah thing like where we've
learned to for the bad things in our life to like we think about those more
so then those bad things don't happen again like that bad thing years and years and years ago might have been like falling off something high or touching something hot or you hear an intruder or something yeah and so you learned to like it's why um where you know when on your social media someone says something horrible to you they tweet something horrible they say something mean on your instagram it's why you cannot help but like really
zone in on it and focus on it you know it doesn't matter who you are like you build up a
tolerance over time but you do have a certain response to it and it is because of that very
thing you're always trying to it's like a weird monkey brain trying to um become impenetrable
and constantly improve we're obsessed with improvement all the time yeah yeah yeah but going
back to the actual doomsday clock last year it was set to
like 10 minutes to 12 now it's 10 now it's 100 seconds to 12 I didn't know the change was that
drastic I didn't think it was 10 minutes actually I'm pretty sure it was I remember I remember
I look at it every year but I just I don't I think it was around that mark but if it's changed
from 10 minutes to 100 seconds then what what I don't get that what base what are they
using to base this time off yeah because nine minutes or
you know, eight and a half minutes gone off
because of what? There's nothing
to really changed in the last year.
Okay, sorry, it was two minutes
to midnight, now it's 100 seconds.
There's 30 seconds.
Yeah. Does it, is it updated like all the
time? No, it's updated annually.
So it's the same time. So it's only once a year.
Yeah, it's like, yeah.
But like 30 seconds.
It doesn't mean like that's
you know, the world's about
to explode at any second that right, doesn't?
No, but like how can you
it's a bunch of intelligent people coming together and theorising like okay if this
happened it's hypothetical and then it'll be done so it's worst case scenario
I guess I don't know I've I've never actually heard of this before so I I had but
like I've never like researched it or anything because I think it's like closest I believe
we might have beat that now but it was at this closest uh Cold War where it was literally like
that makes sense but so I can't I don't know how
nuclear can impact the one now
when, right, this would be not
in a Cold War state, like the Cold War
was. There's no actual
there was no actual, like, threat, as there
is then, so I don't know how
that factors into it at all.
It kind of is, like.
Not to the extent
of the, like, the Cold War, that was like
10 million times it's more extreme
than now, but it's just kind of
little threats on Instagram, Twitter
on Instagram, yeah.
Compared to actual, you know, nuclear subsimbal
yeah but like do you think it's important to try and just not um become a nihilist about it all yeah
definitely because that is the true like defeat isn't it when everyone gives up
because that's like the most human thing to me is just like figuring shit out like we already
said like finding our weakness and trying to improve it like for every like evil person you
would hope there is one the opposite to match you've got to be like realistic about it is if you think
change that's happened when the humanity has had to change.
If we got to like, you know, 10 seconds to midnight or whatever and it was just like the threat
was here, we'd be able to make such a change so quickly where we can avert it because that's
how like the science works.
It's like when countries need to do stuff, they put the most maximum amount of money into
science as possible and they get results because they get all the stuff and they just boom.
It's going to be a like you're just fascinating like 100 years coming up like.
Even the last 100 years has been just ridiculous.
If you think like the 40s to 60, that's 20 years,
and I'm pretty sure we went from biplanes to the fucking moon,
the progress during that era was insane, and that can still happen.
And I was thinking about it now, like,
the weird way we're obsessed with, like, building networks.
Like, we're obsessed with recreating the brain, basically.
So we've taken, like, the way our brain works,
and we've turned it into our means of community.
So we're just like all these brains walking around. Yeah, are all communicating with each other. You know, I saw an advert on YouTube of this
this new idea for a system of like postal delivery like just so trucks and stuff won't have to be on the roads. Yeah, it's like these pipes like the Futurama pipes
underground that just shoot these and they use no fuel nothing. Oh, like the air pressure like what they do in in supermarkets. No, I think it's, um,
magnetized.
Oh really?
Yeah.
And it just shoots all this stuff.
Magnetized, magnetized.
Their dream is to have this like crazy network over the whole world.
You think, you know, it could, like, big cities.
Yeah.
Because it's like, you know, too mile radius.
It expands to just everywhere else.
Like, yeah.
That would change the world.
It would because it would eliminate the need for it in cities.
And then basically you just need to get the parcels from the city to another office.
in the country that then shoots them off in the pipes
to the houses. It's like
boring. Elon Musk's idea to have
fucking underwater tunnels with cars to get rid of congestion.
No, it all stemmed
from me from when I saw
someone had like mapped a fly's
brain and I was like
and there's like an image of it and I was like
that's just like a
server basically. You've got like a
hub point with then all the cables coming off
and it's just relaying information
really quickly it's it's crazy you just to me it's just like you don't worry about how
how bad it is and know that you know ignorance is bliss and all that yeah everything big in a way
is also everything that's small with that said we'll be back after these messages
guess what we got in store for you today lads join many of t-shirts check the description below
Good afternoon, morning, evening or nightly.
I hate that.
Welcome to the JAR Part 7 of episode 9.
Welcome to part 2 of episode...
Something.
Where we're going to go into...
Some Reddit questions, but...
Actually, you know, before we do that.
There's something that needs to be addressed from last episode.
If you don't know, we kind of dismantled and discussed the idea.
of the myth that human male testicles are able to taste,
which has kind of been spread around and whatnot.
But the truth seems to be that
there factually are taste receptors
that exist in the nuts,
but those also exist like other places in the body,
like your stomach, lungs, brain
and even anus,
which shoots diarrhea out.
So is that why diarrhea is so
unpleasant because you can taste
the shit?
It's inside, though.
We were saying, what, taste buds
as if the balls
like it looks like a tongue.
Obviously that's not the case, but
it seems to be
something to do with
part of the chemicals
sensing of sugars or
amino acids so it's some very technical
you know
thing
aka dipping your balls and soy sauce
is like pointless
fucking pointless
oh Christ
I was looking forward to that
so we've been just
betrayed
we've been we've been roosed
we've been bamboosed
bamboozled
okay let's do some questions
only if you want to leave our own question
your own question for us to answer head over
the jar media
Reddit
where there is a
suggestion thread
ask us
anything you like
about what to dip
your desk
then
well
I might be
pointless
now James
might be pointless
um
kind of disappointed
so let's
let's get this going
with uh
Jim Beltman
the Muslim
role play
Jim is a massive
obese woman
sitting next to James
on a plane
squashing him
squashing him
Alex is the air hostess
Trying to calm down
Furious James
Go

sit here for the west of the flight.
Oh, hello, sir.
That seems to be the problem.
Shut up, fatty.
I've got
I've got no space.
Cut. Cut.
Cut.
Not cool.
Yeah, it's not cool. That's really fucking whole.
The whole question, just not cool.
Yeah, I'm against this.
That's the only role play you're getting meat from me this year.
Yeah, not cool, dude.
Is my character get fired or?
Yes.
No, James gets squashed.
James gets a promotion.
James turns into a feeder.
It's actually, the twist is it was James's wife.
Oh, snap.
Oh, fuck you.
And it was just a little family feud going on.
We all lose when the family feuds.
Worst song on that album.
Shut up.
That's shit and you know it.
It's times like this
where it makes me want to piss.
But problems...
Like this.
It can make me feel a miss.
Line.
That was Master Uguay's death scene's suggestion
Just to do a bit of rhyming
Thank you Uguay
But I got stuck on this
And I couldn't think of words that rhyme with piss
Ugui
I did piss
No you can loop it back and finish
No I didn't want to
Chris yeah
Waygun
Sis
Yeah no I just
Bliss
No so okay
You piss
No look you try it then
Try a little rhyming
Adventure
See how hard it is
What am I rhyming
Anything
Your word
Your first word is green.
Yoda is green.
Yoda is green.
Kind of like a slidine.
Even I can do better than that.
They're not green.
Keep going.
Why they so mean?
They're acting like a teen.
Hey babe, get me my favorite bowl of bean.
like the sleeping
no but the first word was green
get them from the machine
see green's a lot easier
you
are you allowed to do those like
half rhymes yeah
like fiend
yeah
thank you
Uguway
in the bagway
Sebastian del
Tobo has
um another roleplay
We don't necessarily have to do it, but I want to read this because of how much work they put into just the description of what we need to do here.
Roll play.
Roll play.
James is a sexy whore sitting in the local pub alone, and Jim is trying to get lucky with her.
Alex is her half-black, half-Indian ex-girlfriend who desperately storms in trying to get back with her halfway through the roleplay, who can only speak in rhymes.
What's with this whole rhyming thing?
It's like a rhyming,
uh, thematic, uh, through line, kind of like the...
Yeah, like the three POs or...
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
I'm not sexy enough.
Don't say that, you motherfucker.
Yeah, don't say that, you...
We're not nihilus anymore, okay?
We're cuties.
Stage D.K. has a quick fire round.
James, when can we expect the highest speeding ticket
in English history to be yours.
Oh, fuck.
You know, I'm still working on that.
You're gonna have to give me at least three more years.
Alex, as a seasoned voice actor,
what role would you play?
No, would you play the role of a minion
if given the offer?
Of course.
More importantly, you're gonna reprise your role in Hunt for the Freeman too.
Maybe.
Nick is, uh...
Let's just say Nick might not.
be going to the grave quite yet.
Anyway, what was they saying?
And Jamie, what nicknames have your shaved head inspired?
Johnny.
Hit man.
When you got the drum kit.
Only the ones I've given myself.
Yeah, none.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Goatsy fries says this and lots of teenage shows slash movies
there's always a character who's like when I grow up I can't wait to leave this town and all these fuckheads behind it's my dream
from my experience of watching the cast it seems you guys haven't moved too far away from where you grew up
do you or have you ever shared these feelings I know someone who has
when I grow up
Well, I mean, yeah, I reckon everyone thinks that, like, at a point.
Yeah, because everyone believes there is, like, their Kung Fu Panda 3's setting for them.
You know, like, Po's secret panda family, they're out there somewhere.
It's kind of a metaphor.
So what you're saying is everyone's had this feeling when Mummy's taken away the toy you like,
And you're like, I'm going to pack my bags and leave.
Exactly.
You're exactly right.
Because you know that somewhere out there, there is a land filled with toys.
That it's just waiting for you.
For a mediocre sequel to an impeccable middle film.
Kind of like Star Wars?
Yeah.
No, very much like Star Wars.
But sometimes you got to know.
when to stay
you know
should I stay or should I go now
if I stay there will be trouble
but if I go
there will be double
so come on
and let me know
should I go
I do
I've never
I've never thought about it
I want to
live in a city
Yeah, I want to live in a city
Not like for the rest of my life
But there are certain cities I don't want to live in
I want to live in city
I don't want to live in London
I want to live in
I like going there
But I don't want to live there
Yeah, yeah
Very good
I don't know
It depends how much money I might have
In my bank in the future
So if money was not a problem
Would you live in London that
No
If you could just have unlimited money
you can do wherever you want
I reckon I would
You would settle in London
Not settle
But you would just live there
Live there
Experience it
Become a
I don't know
What do people in London do
Become a socialite
Yeah
No
Can't think of anything worse
That's why
I would do it
Yeah
Not that I think it would be bad
Yeah
Because living in a rural area away from everything and living in the heart of a city are polar opposites of each other.
Just as much as I would like to live in like a shack in the wilderness for like a year and just like...
Which is my dream.
Cut dream, cut trees down, not cut dreams down.
Yeah.
And cut like cows heads off and eat them on whatever people that live in the wilderness do.
it doesn't appeal to me
I've never thought about leaving where I live at the moment
and it's like
I think for a lot of people
that naturally just happens
because they go to uni
you go to uni which typically isn't in the town
you grow up so you have to go somewhere else
and then you fall in love with the city or whatever
and you know where you are
or you just get a job opportunities and everything
so yeah it's just the way it goes
I mean it's just that's something
that life that's life those changes will come and boom i don't think i i don't feel like i'm being
impeded by the fact i'm not living in a city right now could change in the future um tomorrow
i like um i really do feel like i would miss the the rural
feeling the tranquility yeah knowing that i can just walk off into the woods and like
Like as much as I do enjoy going to London
When you're there for days upon days on end
I start to feel a bit claustrophobic
Like
I just can't escape this
Yeah
I need some freedom right now
That's my problem
Is this bit of cities
I love the chaos of a city
But the chaos changed me after a while
And I have to
They are tiring and
Yeah you want to live there when you're young
I guess
I swear everyone always tells me anyway
Mm
Live there when you're young
And you can keep up with it
mister
the strangers say that to me on the
on the streets
don't they James
everetto 21 has this to say
hi jar
so lately I've been really stressed out
since I experienced prom and it was the worst thing
I've ever had to partaken
I'm not good with crowds
of people eye bleeding neon lights
or terribly loud music so I basically had a huge
melt down
You know, ugly crying and all that.
At that point, I didn't even care about the vapid prom queen pageant or whatever the fuck.
It was the absolute worst.
Since when I go to parties, I usually have at least one quiet place to retreat to the bathroom walls.
No, sorry, but the bathroom walls were literally vibrating because the music was so loud.
It took me a full hour and a half of watching funny jar moments and David Bowie interviews to fully calm down
so I could leave the bathroom stall I was in and actually go home.
so basically i'd like to know if you have any tips for calming down in stressful situations and anger management
or if you have any interesting prom stories thanks guys
well we're all prom kings ourselves so we've got some yeah somehow james and i were just
like we looked so good on the prom night they made they made us join prom kings
did you go to prom jim no i just went to the after you just went to us you're right yeah
got wrecked son yeah i didn't do either i was always like since when do british people
have fucking prom what the fuck yeah like that's such an american thing yeah like i'm i'm like
fucking 16 right now i don't want to buy a suit and like you watch all these like movies and
shows and shit and they're like it seems like a stressful ass time for everybody in
yeah i'm just like from the get go no yeah i mean there's your first bit of advice
like if if you can predict something is going to stress you out to that degree
maybe don't do it no that's that's also bad advice no no no no build up to that
like if you're going to get to the point where you have to lock yourself away and like
sort of there is a way there is a way of showing up for something that is like a that is like a
social commitment
but also being able to just
sort of be in and out without having to
before it gets too crazy
but I mean prom is different
I suppose
because that's inherently going to be loud and busy
like so you you
build yourself up like go to smaller
social gatherings
there's very good advice there because I am that type
person like any like
I have this weird thing where
I will get like really agonising headaches
and earaches if I go to a place
that's incredibly loud, like a prom
or like a disco, I get really bad headaches
and I will literally retreat and like
just fucking sulk in a corner
or like escape outside.
So I am that person 100%.
And it is you have to build up a tolerance
to it. You do like small
like stuff with your friends to like pubs
and then you kind of work up to that stuff
and that's what I've been doing recently
and it has helped because it does
because you'll get more experience and you'll get comfortable.
It's like normalisation in your head.
And the more you do something, the more you're used to it,
you're not going to panic in a situation that you've done,
a situation you've been in loads of times.
Yeah, and just calming down during those situations.
Like, my whole thing was like to go outside.
I would pretty much go outside and sit on the floor.
I'd say ground yourself.
Like, think about where you are.
Think about why you're there.
Because, like, maybe...
Most of the time that...
where you are isn't going to be
a reason to be stressed
while you're there isn't going to be a reason to be stressed
so why are you stressing
my whole tactic was to like
go outside and obviously like
someone would like talk to you
and you just sit down like have a long conversation
with them about just stuff and that is like
was nice for me it was just really
pleasant having a conversation and like a busy
environment but it's like calm
just really really like relaxing yeah
just yeah distract yourself
maybe try some kind of
breathing exercise or um put some headphones in if you can get away from like a real racket
and put something really calming on that you know chills you out fresh air is definitely like
one of the best things of water there are options there are options but listening to drama media
is definitely the best you can do yeah no doubt yeah so i mean distractions anything you like
just interact with it for a minute and look at a dog instagram or something i don't know
Any particular dog
Instagram or
I don't know
I argue that corgi is quite a final
No there's a really good one called
Dogo's doing things
It's a locked account
But they have the best dog content
On the internet
Follow it is incredible
Okay just say that to my face then
Yeah that was kind of quick move
That was meant to be Alex's
Like
Okay
Sorry I'm just I'm giving a good recommendation
For people who might be
Stressed at POM
Got another serious one
Let's just do it
Oh, yeah, we're serious boys.
From Swegg Luna.
Question for the jar.
Hi, Jar.
I'm a new viewer, but I've instantly fallen in love with your content,
and I haven't gone a day without watching one jar videos since I found your channel a few weeks ago.
Oh, thank you.
I wanted to say about a very serious problem I have in my life and how the jar members would handle it.
When I was three, I was diagnosed with neutropenia.
It's a single P without an H, so apologies if I say it wrong.
I'm really bad at reading.
any kind of diagnoses like this
but it's a deficiency
slash inability to produce
neutrophils
is that right
a type of white blood cell
and I wasn't allowed to go to school
due to having a weak immune system
this essentially resulted in me graduating high school
without ever having to step foot inside a classroom
with other students
now as an 18 year old male I have absolutely no social
experience with people other than
my close family this is compounded
with my Asperger's syndrome
making it nearly impossible for me to have stable conversations with people in person.
My question is this.
If put into this situation, how would any of you proceed?
What route would any of you take to try and make new friends?
Is it worth trying to force myself to conform to social norms,
or should I embrace my awkwardness and accept I may never be the most social person?
Even if you don't answer this question, it was a bit calming to write this comment,
so I suppose it was the right choice. Cheers.
I don't think it's about conforming to social norms.
it's like everyone sort of meets halfway yeah you bring like the courtesy and
politeness that is social normality but then i think what he's what he's struggling with is
that he doesn't have people to talk to you know sort of same age you know you know just like
normal everyday kind of stuff he's like missed out on the the informative kind of school year type
stuff so he doesn't know what to begin almost honestly
gaming
start with gaming
genuinely it might sound
it might sound silly but
if you want to like just learn how to talk to people
and you don't have to worry about like
if it's an immune system thing
you don't have to worry about that aspect of it
you can talk to anyone from around the world
you can hear a varied
you know varied amount
it depends on your taste you know like
I've got loads of memories of when we first started playing
like 360 online and just interacting with people all the time talking they're just strangers
like that's somewhere to begin at least yeah yeah definitely definitely does help being able to just
randomly talk to someone you have no idea who they are what they look like just being able to
talk to them about something is actually really helpful yeah and you've already got like
something you can talk about because you're presumably you know playing some game and trying
into that it's just to talk like if a hobby you have is to talk to people who have that hobby
There'll be a common ground.
It's just like what I found being in the car community is just like people are nice.
Even if you don't know stuff, you can talk to them and they'll be really helpful and nice.
Like I spoke to a guy in the in Tesco car park for half hour because he just had a nice car.
And we were just talking about everything.
And he was like six in.
It was just like we were just being talking.
It was really nice because I just, I went in was just like, you've got a nice car.
And it just goes on that.
Yeah.
That's a good way.
Yeah, I try, I suppose, to start with the things you like, you know,
and try and find people that you can talk to about the things you like,
because that's always the place to begin,
and usually from there you can sort of delve a bit deeper, you know,
you need a starting off point.
Because usually the starting off point for all these people
who become long-time friends at school is the fact they're forced into the same location
and they're just around each other all the time.
forced into the same place in the line.
Yeah, so that's the main thing you would have missed out on,
so force that to happen in ways that you can.
Obviously, there's loads of details we don't have
because it's only a short little comment,
but you can also with like,
even if you start with like Reddit groups
based around things you like,
you can communicate with people in there
and start from that um as much as i have problems with the way some people use discord uh it could be a
way to like you know connect with some people or communicate with people if that's something you need
but you need to know that like you need to move on from that virtual yeah obviously like um i i'm only
just thinking in terms of like if you really just want to start somewhere yeah to get the snowball
yeah yeah um
especially considering the
um
affliction
he has as well
um that makes it a bit more difficult
but
but I know another important thing is
it's okay not being the most sociable
like I'm not I'm generally not that super sociable
and it's like I'll go to the pub every so often
but I'm not someone who's going to constantly surround myself with people
so there's nothing wrong with that
it's real different in the day not all of us are going to be
you know super extroverted and love people constantly it's okay there's no reason to be like down
over that yeah um do whatever you can um stick within your um well if if you can go out your
comfort zone just a little bit at first um in some way that without keeping you safe still um
that's all you can really do honestly and just bit by bit chip away as everyone
It takes time. You just got to know it takes time. You've got to build up with it.
Yeah. Like, I mean, I was completely socially inept until I was about 22, which is only like a few years ago for me.
And if you're 18 and you're already thinking about it, you're probably doing better than I was when I was that age.
I don't think I was even thinking about it.
No, I was the same. Even now I'm still getting there.
Yeah, everyone is. I mean.
We're all on the same...
Plain of existence.
Yeah.
...roccating through space.
Hmm, what else should we do?
Alien Zach 27 says do another normal episode.
Done.
Oh.
Apopsis
Says how are the Yog's dogs doing
Haven't heard from them for a while
And let's extend it into just
All of jar pets
The weekly jar pet update
Go on then
Okay you start
No I just said go on then
No no
Jarl order so Billy's for
Argi's first
Give us an update on Argi
Argi's soldiering on
been a little problem solver
mixed mammal
mammal mammalian thing
don't you think
mammalian really suits him there
he's a little he's a mammalian
that's what he is
like he's not a dog he's a mammalian
he's a one in a mammalian
one of a mammalian
he's fine
the annoying one at the moment is Paisley
because she's like nine months old
she's oof big oof
If you don't, because they're so energetic at that age, if you don't get them knackered, they will destroy.
Yeah.
So I lost some post the other day.
She's been pretty good for the most part because when she just gets bored, she just goes and bites Argy and just infuriates him.
So I'm all right.
You're averted.
Yeah, no major ailments.
Touch wood at the moment.
Aside from the bit of poopy butt that needs wiping now and again.
That's standard, though.
Yeah, that's standard.
That's standard.
For a little gastro boy.
Well, fuck, he's the gastro boy.
God, he says.
Gastro mammalian.
Billy went to the vet the other week.
Is she good?
She attacked the vet.
Can't mess with her.
Because she was trying to stick a needle in her fucking back.
she got vaccinated
she's a healthy weight
she's a healthy cat
did you know cats
paws sweat
hmm
do cats pant
no when they get hot
maybe
I don't think so
do you see lions panting
and like
I don't know because I've never really thought about it
I don't think they do
but yeah
we got her out of her
cage when we got her to the vets and put her on
like the platform thing and every
step just left like a juicy
porprint like a stress
sweat yeah because she was sweating so much she was
freaking out
James
so we need to update on the dog
I think I mentioned he got fucking
three thorns stuck in his eyeball
three
thorns stuck in proper thorns stuck in it
in his eyeball it fucking
bizarre how did it look
his eye was fucking
like his eyelid was stuck together
from like the gunk from the eye
and he was all like pus
yeah and it was super fucking horrible
so he had those
fucking fucking taken out
and he's fine now um
but he's doing much better
he fucked his leg
again
he stepped on thorns and got like
massive thorns stuck in his leg
we have um
made a mistake with him
and we'll give him like the dog food that's super high
protein so it's like it's like a border collie a border collie that's that's high as fuck all the time
with like basically on cocaine so he was terrible so he's now gone to work in dog food and he's
much better he's gone to working dog food yeah he's now like low protein proper proper stuff
and he's actually have you seen a difference in his behavior he's like if you go for a long walk
he'll actually be quite visibly tired if it's like a really long one which he wasn't before
wow that's interesting so he was just getting like so much energy from non
stop energy. So now he's
a bit calmer and he's a bit
more behaved and he's just getting, he's
like leaving the puppy stage. Yeah,
the older he gets, the more calm he'll become.
He's 100% my boy.
Like, he will spend most of his day by me
all the time. Yeah, we've been on some good
walks, aren't me? He has, he's a... We'll have to do
some more and when it gets a bit nicer
outside. We can. And we can
show the jar or some of it on jar,
maybe.
That's a possibility.
We need another dog cast, though.
Which is never going to happen.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
They just create such a maelstrom of, like, mess.
And chaos.
And chaos.
But I don't really want them up here.
That's been one of the themes of this episode, chaos.
Chaos, destruction, and poo.
And do you know what?
Do you know what it be chaos?
Buying a snake.
And on that note, that's the end of the episode.
Yeah, boy.
Thanks for listening and supporting and leave questions for the next one.
And thanks, everybody.
Ha!
Thank you.
