Let me just have a sip
I know how to sound hot on
on voice chat now
you have to just eat an apple
That's the ASMR trick isn't it
So you don't have mouth noises
It's nice and crisp
I'm going to go eat an apple
Give me a sec
No
You only eat bananas
No
And you only take one bite anyway
You only eat banana, yeah, you only need to bite.
When you're wine tasting as well, you bite into an apple to refresh your palate.
No, you drink sparkling water.
I want to say, I've...
No, sparkling water.
Oh.
When I went wine tasting with James's dad, I'm...
Oh, shut up.
Shut up.
Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gents, and welcome to Corncast number 41.
I'm your host, Alex, joined as always, by...
James's dad.
Gamer Rubin.
Oh, yeah.
James's dad
James's dad
Here he is
I was actually going to introduce James
as Jordan Pierce
which is kind of a combination
of two of the previous names
into a new one
so now he's got his kind of James Bond
alternate name
so
what do we think guys
41
Get rid
Fuck this shit
Get rid
Things we won't get rid of
though with the jar patrons
If you want to support us head over there
We can get your names read out in the first week of each month
And make the audio version of the show possible
So
We got to do a
What is it called this week
Housekeeping
Comment Area
Comment Zone
Whatever
Kobe Langston's going to start us off
Wait so James has enough balls
To order a specific burger from McDonald's
That takes extra effort for free
but won't follow up on some lost nuggets.
Yes, yes.
That disturbed me.
Do you know why?
Because changing a burger is on a machine.
Going to get nuggets is in person.
It's as simple as that.
But why do you care?
As if they give a shit?
Like, it's not a big deal for them.
No, I just get anxious.
Like, what am I supposed to do?
Um, oh, P has a fucked up, but this whole wiping thing spawned just, uh, just an onslaught of comments regarding it.
Um, the first one being, in regards to the great wiping debate, I genuinely use Jim's technique.
Only my bath is on the left and I lift my left leg.
I thought I was the inventor and sole user of this innovative and vastly superior wiping method,
but Jim has proven once again that he's the true pioneer.
of jar.
This was in reference to Jim
describing the way he wipes being
that he lifts his leg up onto the
bath, I guess, for extra angles.
And for the record, whether it's your right
leg or your left leg, it doesn't matter.
It just needs to be a leg up.
As long as the leg's going up, then you're having a good time.
Fantastic.
I hate that.
Why, go on.
Because it's
not logical to
wipe your bottom that way
I'm sorry we've gone
how I'm just
two people have come up with this
perfect way of wiping
separately
you know
I'm sure there's more
yeah but this
this is fact that we know of
you know
we all need to come out of
you know we need to
embrace the premium
wipeage
well speaking of coming
out of hiding though a lot of um muggle quidditch players came out of the woodwork regarding last
episode we briefly mentioned it when we're talking about weird sports just offhand and of course that
was the thing that like there are loads of quidditch players that happened to hear it or whatever
a swiggy being one of them when i was about 1112 i was an avid muggle quidditch player at my school
we had a club with about five of us and since we were so young the teacher of the club didn't let us
use actual brooms like we're supposed to so we use pool noodles since there were so few players
we couldn't even have real teams either it was probably the most pathetic thing i've ever done
but it's nothing compared to how cringe the professional leagues are okay no there's professional
leagues i need to have i need to have funny image though counseling or therapy since
i think you should the five kids of pool noodles just like running around in a field just like
throwing oh that's the hang what
The fucking, you got the snitch, you got the blut, there's a blu-word, the blagger, the blagger, the bludger, the fucking, Bill Tong.
How do you know all this?
I watched all of them two years ago, I watched every Harry Potter film back to back, and every Twilight film, actually, back to back.
I was just watching all the, like, teen book shit movie, like, series is.
Yeah, yeah.
The Harry Potter was by far the best.
I feel like if you're a, a 12-year-old playing quit.
like whatever you know I played Star Wars and on the playground well yeah like you
shouldn't be embarrassed for like shit you played when you were like fuck no to me it's just
the woggle thing the uh yeah it's the pool uh tunes yeah the noodles yeah the noodles that's just
that's funny to me but there's someone else um who said this is leo kirby to add on to last
week muddle quidditch was only a thing i discovered last year when i really
I realized the uni I was going to had their own Quidditch team.
They have their own branded social media for it as well.
It's bizarre seeing people running around with sticks between their legs, but whatever, but whatever makes them happy.
Yeah, as you were just saying, Jim.
Yeah, model, model, muggle quidditch.
Yeah, I think, I think that's nice.
I think that's nice, because the teacher stood there and did that and, you know,
made sure you guys are having fun and shit.
That's a nice thing to do, I think.
That's a good teacher.
Yeah, yeah, it's fine for, like, when you're a kiddie.
I can't imagine uni students doing it.
The whole reason the game is cool in the books is because they're flying around using magic.
Yeah, also, like, the rules don't make sense.
Yeah, it's not like a normal game.
You watch the movies, and it's like, this one's worth six points.
This one is worth nine points.
Yeah, and then Harry Potter gets killed.
Yeah, he gets, every time you plays it, he, like, would have died.
He won by, like, deep-throating it.
Yeah, he deep-throating it.
Yeah, he deep-throating it.
But the whole game is, like,
if you catch this one thing, it just ends
and you win.
Like, it's the shittest game.
No, it only makes sense in a magical
world where there is such thing as a little snitch
that flies around.
Nah, but even then.
Chavez jig has a problem with you, Jim.
I take issue with Jim saying that he could beat an eagle
in a fight when in a previous charcaste
he had to get Alex to help him to get a seagull
out of a bathroom.
This is two...
this is two totally fucking different scenarios no no no no one one is a fight to
the death the other is me not having to interact with a bird and getting someone
else to do it so yeah so if you can't handle a well obviously if if if I'm in a
scenario where I have to kill the eagle then that's what I'm gonna have to do but I
I had the option.
If there would have been an eagle
in that bathroom,
I would have done the exact same thing
and Alex would have
taken eagle. So what you're saying is you won't fight an eagle.
You'd get Alex to fight an eagle for you.
No, I'm saying
I won't fight an eagle
unless I absolutely have to.
No, no.
You said that the pigeon was scary or whatever.
The pigeon?
No, it wasn't a pigeon, bro.
It was a seagull.
Seagulls are scary.
I forget, okay?
I forget.
I never claimed that eagles aren't scary.
I think eagles are very scary.
But I think snakes are scary, and I could beat a snake in a fight.
Yes, because that cat, a snake, unless it's venomous, will do less damage to you.
What can a snake do if it's not venomous?
What can an eagle do?
fuck you up they're fucking huge claws we've been over this you can't fight an eagle you can't fight
pasta though because that was the other fucking debate that went down last episode and we actually had
an italian listener right in with their feedback this is crappy posts don't care if you've
already debated pastor but here's a comment that i left last corncast as a fellow italian thank
you jamie and alex for defending fusili and spaghetti hearing reuben just shitting on these types of
pastor is honestly offensive to me.
Here's a list of the best pastors ranked by an Italian pasta man and then you can talk about it.
So they have number one, if you're silly, they have a beautiful shape and they taste nice with everything.
Any thoughts on that?
No, that is true.
I only hate it because it's the only one I've had for literal months.
I haven't had variety.
So I'm not a fan at the moment.
numbers two they have spaghetti
three
how do you say
I don't think I've ever said a lot of these out loud
I've only read them and been like
oh
far fell
far fell
far fell or some shit
you would assume they'll just go A on the end
the shape is cute
but the best part is the centre
that stays a bit crunchy
and gives it a nice texture
I don't actually know which one that is
I got to zoom in this text
isn't that a little like bow ties
How do you spell this?
The bow ties are shit.
No, they're good.
I like the bow tie shirt myself.
Yeah, I like the bow tie.
Four is trophy.
Fantastic stuff.
These are very nice with a juveniles pesto.
I'm obviously like just butchering the Italian way you're supposed to say it.
How about you try being English, bitch?
What do we have?
We've got beans and we got low salt and sugar.
beans. Fuck you.
We got beans and would you put beans with?
Trophy. Trophy looks weird.
I've had, um,
pistachio trophy.
So how do you say? The next one is
Conchigli.
Conchiglioni.
Oh, conchiglioni.
Yeah, but they said in parentheses,
please stop saying it the way you're saying it
because it sounds like you're saying
Coglione that means
testicles as a swear word.
Coglione.
Why do they call pasta after balls?
Why would you do that?
Yeah.
Oh, my coglioni.
Yeah, I like conchiglione.
Yeah, I like that one.
I like conchiglioni.
Then it was Tagletelli, then Grammagenea.
They look smaller and longer.
This is just like hell for me, like trying to read this.
But Pene is number nine.
Oh, peni is good.
It's so good.
Do you want to hear their explanation, though, which is,
in my opinion, they're over.
overrated, they're nice, don't get me wrong, but there are seven other types of pasta better than this one. Also stop saying it like
Quote peni or peen, I guess because if you say I love penne or peen it would translate as I love penis
I love say the second end letter. How many fucking words do you think they would mispronounce in English, huh?
How many words? The main word that I've heard mispronounced of English is crow. I've heard crow pronounce as
crow
more than one
times by more than one person
really
hey
well like like the bird
bird crow yeah I've had that
pronounce as crow
uh on three occasions
by three different people
what's this they've like
pointed it and got to look at that crow
yeah that's such a specific
thing
yeah it's funny
how many crows there are just like hanging out
I fucking love
Penne
yeah Penny's based
fuck you Italians
have you ever gagged on penny
fucking world war
fucking two turn coats
what size were you on huh
yeah
shut up
English pronunciation
English pronunciation
fuck pasta
penny
penne
I only eat beans
on penne
yeah
Bubba docke's going to round off
this segment
and this pasta topic
this was the American guy
that we kind of
and made fun of for saying about making food from scratch in the box so yeah let me read
this so because yeah in the i'm the american james so james should be this question with an
american accent if it's picked well james can't see it so all right i'm really mad about how you fuck
has reacted to my fresh pasta question and i think after being unjustly shat on throughout the
episode i get to epically own you with the second part i wasn't saying you have to make fresh pasta
every day your life or when you're busy
I was saying your discussion over what is the best
pasta was dumb because you guys
were talking about non-fresh pasta and saying
what is the best pastor? Not
the best option to make after work.
You're talking about the best pasta you can have.
I wasn't saying frozen pasta. I'm saying
the shit you buy at the store is significantly worse than
homemade pasta. Whether the
store bought stuff is frozen in a box
therefore you're all wrong.
I want to open this with, but you
were suggesting that it's easy to just make
pasta and it's like, yeah, if you've got an hour of
time.
I just want to...
Yeah, shut up.
That your phrasing letters all to react in a particular way.
Someone could make arguments for why they only make frozen pasta as you guys do to defend
box pasta.
I was also asking if you have ever made your own recipe, not if you ever made food at home.
I'm really mad.
My point about the frozen aisle is that stuff like freshly cut and fried fries are unbelievably
better than frozen fries, just like how homemade pasta is unbelievably better.
B, boo, boo.
also what the fuck you have the time to make your own sauce but not the time to make fresh
pasta what the fuck kind of tomato juice far ass sauce are you making that takes time
this is really so strange yeah you go to the boys just wanted to bust your balls on the
pasta a bit you go to the shop you get yourself a little pat carter tomato pasta
and then you just add spices boom that's it wait I'm confused when he's saying fresh
pasta does he mean like
handmade pasta
okay so let's get this clear
when you go to the shops you can get dried
pasta in big packets right or you can get
the fresh egg like egg pasta
that's like
you know in the fridge aisle or whatever
and even Gordon Ramsey says to use the dried
shit because it's better
there you go
I use the dry shit
you sold it you can buy in fucking like
a kilo like fucking 15 kilogram
bags and it just lasts a fucking
month, boom.
Yeah, I think, ban this guy from
the Reddit, ban this guy from YouTube.
Yeah, you know what?
He's gone too far this time. He doesn't get
Criticizers. I was on his side, but I've been
outvoted, so sorry, man, I'm going to have to block you.
Get out of here.
Get blocks, get banned.
Trolls. Don't get
blacked.
It's time for topics, guys.
Rubin?
Why not he starts off?
Topic?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I don't remember why I was going to say about this,
but it's just saying that I was working on writing,
which was, so the Apex Update came out.
Yeah, that was it.
The Apex Update came out.
And it was kind of a hotly anticipated one.
What were we on, nine?
Season nine?
Season nine.
Legacy.
Yeah.
New character comes with it.
And, you know, they've got a jetpack,
and they have loads more passive abilities
than any other character in the game.
And they also have an offensive ability as they're like,
tactical ability and their ultimate
lets them rotate
to other areas in a way that other characters
have previously never been able to do. Other characters
have been able to quickly get you across
ground are Pathfinder
and Wraith and they
can only do it with like a grapple or a
portal. An Octane
who's actually one of my favorite ones
for that actually. Octane's
a lot of fun for it.
But this one has a jet pack and she can just launch you
up into the air like you're using a
zipline thing, what do they call it? A tower.
A jump tower.
A balloon, yeah.
And I was saying about,
because I've started writing something about how in life service games,
are they doomed to expand too far every time?
Is that it?
Is that how the death of every life service comes around,
which is incorporating too much?
Are they always doomed to get just too inflated?
Is that it?
Because as time goes on,
and one of my main examples at the moment anyway,
I've only just sort of started writing it today, actually, is GTA.
In 2013, in GTA Online, you could buy, like, a Ferrari and at most a tank, maybe.
You know, you could also buy a fighter jet, but it cost $6 million, which was a hard thing to come by in GTA Online back then.
You know, there was genuine, like, oh, shit, he's got the jet.
He's played a lot.
Now, you can buy the fucking back-to-the-future car and missile the fuck out of everybody on the map.
And it doesn't even cost much.
So, 20, but the, you know, that'd be fine.
But the mission design hasn't changed since 2013.
So you've got 2013, like, open world player missions with 2021, like, content being pumped into it.
And none of it works anymore.
Yeah, because that was, that's why you make sequels, isn't it, when you stretch the formula to the max.
And that was my next one, which was, you know, a lot of them, you know, eventually they reach a point with like, okay, this is too big.
We need to make another one.
destiny one to destiny two that might have been one of those but even then i don't really believe it is
because destiny two destiny two destiny one wasn't so big they needed a second one it was just the
activision were like make another game we want to make more money simple as that and destiny one
came from a time that was destiny one who came out in a confusing era because destiny is what
really set the trend in stone or set the trend in motion compared to other games where gtie a
to duty online obviously just online was a big money maker the whole time but
it didn't come out in 2014 i think that's the fundamental difference destiny one came out in
2014 gtify came out in 2013 it just didn't have that there wasn't a confusing you know what is this
game yeah i think i think that all life service games are are doomed to get too big for themselves
i think that's what it is because design philosophy is different in 2019 in apix's case
to what it is in 2021.
Yeah, and it depends on the type of game, too,
because I feel like World of Warcraft,
that formula is able to be stretched
because of what it is.
That's another one of my fucking examples.
That was it.
I was like, you need to obviously acknowledge
the World of Warcraft has been doing that for like years,
but yeah, see, I'm not the only one that's seeing this shit.
It's fucked.
And especially when they're basing their stores
around cosmetics and things,
you're seeing a similar kind of concept play out
through the just extreme design
because they have to keep trying to alluring people
into buying them.
Well, yeah, the same tape of silhouette.
It's gone.
Yeah.
You know, it gets so ridiculous in Apex
because just like a couple episodes ago
we were praising like,
oh, this like world building is so cool
and these characters have fun stories behind them.
And then you jump into the game
and there's like these ridiculous skins
that are, they're like Halloween themed
or just like robots and just random shit
like that don't belong.
And it really like hurts the experience.
and yeah it is like playing a fire what they're doing especially with this character-based stuff
like the more you add to that my first thought when I played the new character was like what is the
point of pathfinder now like how can you even compete in terms of the mobility you know
well I've I've been playing the new character Valk a lot and she's made the game like 10 times
and more enjoyable just because of how you can play her but what will happen with
Apex if they don't fix it is
it's going to end up like
Overwatch or Rainbow Six. Rainbow Six
is one of the main ones
that I use as my example of it going wrong.
Trouble is it's all very anecdotal
the evidence. It's just people like us being
like oh it's not fun
anymore. Is that a power creep
thing? Yes. That might go. Yeah. It just
got silly. You know you had these quite
simple like oh this character can do this
this character can do that and this character
has turrets and they have lasers on them
and they can destroy everything and if you do this
then they'll blow you up in one hit.
It just gets ridiculous.
The way it worked with, obviously, Rainbow Six,
is when it launched it was like this grounded SWAT things.
It was like sledgehammers and really,
like realistic things to the nowadays of like a SWAT team.
But then, yeah, like we even said,
it jumped to like these obscenely futuristic concept of characters,
which don't work within the premise they set out at launch.
Yeah, and they all seem to do this,
these very contemporary games or titles such as GT
five, Rainbow Six, they seem to always have this thing where they don't, they don't have that
much imagination, so they always go to near future. And it's somehow more frustrating when they
do that than it would be if they just went like far future. It's like my Ferrari all of a sudden
has no value against your back to the future missile car or the missile bike.
Yeah, I mean, it's been a joke with GTA for just so long now that there hasn't been a sequel
and all the games that have come out in that time frame.
Yeah, the time between San Andreas and GCA5 is less than a decade.
Think about that.
Yeah.
Nine years.
We haven't had another one since then, no.
Yeah, and it's because they're just reacting to what the market's doing
because of these stores, like, people just flood into them.
They love it.
Yeah.
Sad.
Is this all their imagination can afford?
Well, the thing is, surely.
you can only stretch it so far there has to be a point where it's like okay like this has
been around for ages now like gt o five like how long can it possibly go that you say that with so
many franchises like uh like cod you know every year like this is going to be the one that's not
going to do well and then it like just breaks new records and it's like it's so unpredictable
all this shit it's just such an insane industry see what i don't i think there's going to be an end to apex
eventually because it just can't like keep adding characters because it's not sustainable but
I think we still know that that could happen so I think they are trying to try other things
to make sure to try and avoid like a fate where the game just kind of dies a very slow death
just peters out really sadly yeah well they added that new mode didn't they that's not like a battle
real I haven't tried it yet what's it like it's arena sucks arena it's it's
It's shit because the weapons are balanced the way they are in battle in the BR mode.
So you can just get a bow at the moment, which is the power weapon,
and you can just fan that and that's all you do all merch.
And it's fine.
You like, do well with it.
It's just, it needs to, they need to properly balance it.
But for, it's only been out what, four days.
So you've got to let it them to actually review all of it and then make changes.
Yeah.
This is all initial impressions.
of the season.
I think with the popularity of Apex and them trying this,
they've got Titan 4 in the back pocket.
They've got that IP and it will have interest.
So I think they're testing.
I think they're testing other things.
I think respawn are two.
They know the industry enough to actually not die out.
Yeah, they're one of the few examples who've actually managed to make it work
when you got your anthems, when you go at your Avengers,
when you go at your...
The thing is we haven't seen
a Battle Royale dive over...
A.A. Live service
die of over expansion yet.
Usually they just die because they're shit
before they even get the chance
to expand. We haven't seen one expand
to such an extent that people just get fed up
with it. I think GT Online
is one of those ones
where it's like
it could.
It could just be a case of you know what
guys? Fuck you. I think that's the
case for us
like with GTA 5
like it has just
there are so many 15 year olds
just getting into a girl who were obviously
hooked on that shit that's the thing
we'll get in their PS5s as like the new
GTA version coming out
yeah there's going to be so many more people coming in
yeah it's it's too big
to fail
just got accepted there are like 10 games
that are always in the top 10
and like two or three of them are like
subbed out every now and again
like when a Nintendo game comes out or
a fool guy's or something. And the cod is
just replaced by cod.
Any other thoughts on
this new season of Apex or this
topic of attention?
It's definitely better than
my knee joke reaction
which was I don't like it very much.
But
well first of all we have to
say that their
servers were totally fucked.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just pointless.
Trying online games for the first 24 hours, if not two days now.
It's just pointless.
You can't take a day off work reliably to play a game now like you once kid.
You just can't take the risk now because you could just be staring at a server screen all day long.
Yeah, or you just have a piece of shit like cyberpunk.
I understand people getting annoyed, but it's like when you've got the amount of people trying to funnel through like this one kind of client.
Yeah, and it's free.
But it's like, people are like, I need compensation because Apex was somewhat didn't really work.
Did they forget that the first two weeks of GTA Online was fucked?
And that when you got into it...
And also, they didn't pay for Apex.
No.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
I think with GTA Online, two months later, everyone got all of their stuff reset.
Like, that game was fucking terrible.
And...
Different times, too.
Yeah.
2013, man.
2013.
So, like, like, game...
Everyone's going to play the game at the same time to just fucking.
and chill. Cod does it all the time as well.
It's like, I hate seeing this attitude.
It's like, this happens every season of Apex.
It's a joke.
It happens with every game.
Every game just is fucked when it's launched.
You know, it's like, just, I don't like when people complain about it.
It's a bit irritating.
So just to go back to the, uh, the like over design topic thing, a minute.
So do you not count Rainbow 6 as a, as an example of one that's failing?
because of that, but I guess it hasn't failed
hard enough. I don't know what the numbers are
of how many people are playing it still.
That's the thing. It's purely anecdotes or whether or not it's failed.
Yeah, exactly.
Unless you can measure player numbers.
If it's an online game and it has zero people playing it,
that's kind of like, that's a failure, right?
I don't really care about that, though,
if the game is a failure or not.
It's just about whether I want to play it or not.
Yeah, I don't want to play it.
Yeah, I don't want to play Rainbow 6 anymore.
like when i saw clips of some guy that's got a grapple hook that like shoots through windows and then he launches through it
it's like yeah i just can't be bothered it's just too much yeah and the big part of that game was like finding out who you're up against and then knowing what they're capable of
but when there's that many characters and it's the same thing with apex if they just keep adding characters
like your your ability to react quickly is lost and like in a multiplayer game that's pretty key
I am just looking at like the player counts and
um
Rainbow 6 is like constantly much lower
the last year it's always been like a peg down so let's go to one year
yeah Apex is definitely much
it's just a more popular game
well I mean it always would be because it's just more accessible
but I don't
if you look at all time
but Siege doesn't seem to be dying off
It's got
From 2018 to now it's got like
80 more thousand players
Really? Yeah
It just doesn't seem to be in the zeitgeist
In the same way it was a few years ago
Yeah
But I don't know how much of that is just us not being interested in it
Yeah I think that would be the case
Because it's just stayed the same in 2019
If not it's got better since 2019
and that's when we stopped playing
is around 2019 I think
maybe it was just like a rut
yeah
probably but the thing
is as well like there's too many
too many live service games
you have to pick one
and that's your like
multiplayer game or whatever
yeah and they're all designed to
require you to play them like a job
so you have time to play anything else
you can only play one or two
yeah so
so I've picked a
We've picked Apex for the time being. I think we're all going to die off it eventually. I don't think it will...
I do think Apex is the best one then.
I think it is as well. I think it's the best. It's the best battle rea. I don't know if it's the best like live service, but it's the best battle real.
Yeah, Battle Royale.
Wow. Well, on that, no. See you off the D's.
Ah, Peney.
Hey, it's me, Zeus, the god. My first.
I fully endorse the JARMedia merchandise available in the description below.
Came here for the special offer.
Jammity person.
I fucking, Jojo is so fucking good.
I hate Jojo.
I fucking, no, the O.T is so fucking good.
Hi.
James, do you want intro part two?
Um, I can do
Like me, that's like a hugely delayed reply
The UOB remix of Stanford
I need to open my window
I'm starting up
They're just best, I love them
God damn
So hello
My name is James
I am the host of this Joe Rogan
podcast. This is the second part of the show where we go over and we talk about our favorite
Eurobeat remixes.
I guess leave your questions over at the JARMedia subreddit suggestion thread.
If you want to have your questions answered, like this one from Jonathan SVG-11.
A couple of episodes ago, Alex said he was never really interested in watching the show Gravity
Falls. I just have to say, I strongly recommend the show. I recently watched the show as an
adult and it holds up. It's like Avatar
made for kids, but accessible for all ages.
Best children's cartoon never made.
Okay.
All right, next question.
No, I'm sure it's
good. I mean, it's just that thing of at a certain
point, like, we recommended
like, there's so many good things that exist.
You just got to pick your battles,
you know? Yeah, you can't.
You can't watch everything.
The softest
bulletin has one.
after you've eaten a muffin
do you carefully eat the leftover bits
stuck to the paper or do you just
eat the paper too
I eat the bits
sometimes
I can't say I've ever
intentioned on the paper
I never eat the paper on purpose
well this is a fun
Alex and Jamie fact
from when I was a baby
and Alex was a toddler
or three-year-old
how long are people toddlers for
did Alex tell you that you didn't tell me
I was just a baby Alex ate a cupcake
and then just
or had multiple cupcakes and you just gave me the papers.
And you loved it?
Yeah, I just ate them.
You ate the papers?
Well, I was a baby and I was handed like sweet little thing, so I ate it.
This is an abusive thing about it.
Yes, the abusive toddler.
No, it's better than Alex littering.
Yeah, and is that something you've never done, is it, Jamie?
No, I haven't.
I bet you there'll be at least one commenter who says that they always eat.
the paper.
I don't blame them.
I wouldn't blame them.
Juicy trunks.
No, okay, this is fucked up.
When I was a kid, I would eat the cupcake and then put the paper in my mouth and, like,
chew it for as long as it was sweet.
And then, and then, like, spit it out into the bin.
Damn.
That's fucking...
Ew.
That's gross, Jane.
Sugar rush.
Just anything for sugar.
Yeah.
Uh.
Um, S dash Mahon has one.
Me and my friends were talking about cabri mini rolls, and two of them claimed they could eat 52 of them.
So I bought the 104 mini rolls, but the most anyone could manage was 18.
How many mini rolls do you boys think you could manage?
I hate mini rolls.
In one setting.
They're the little cream-filled thing.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't really like them.
Little long.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Like eight before being like, you know what?
I kind of want to do a video on this.
in the future
yeah
no no because I feel like I could be 18
yeah you can probably
I think I could be 18 I just wouldn't like
you think you could be 18
yeah I'd be 18 mini rolls
I just wouldn't enjoy it
if I fast from like
yeah like
if I had a shit little breakfast
went to the gym came back
and went straight into a mini roll challenge
yeah let's do the fucking
mini roll challenge in the future
I hate mini roles
that's not I don't like
mini rolls no one likes mini rolls
They suck.
I don't want to forcibly eat something I'm not going to enjoy.
Maltisers, I'll eat fucking five boxes of them in one sitting in about a month.
Nah, not cool.
Not impressive.
That's not a cool challenge.
You can't show a mini roll in the amounts.
Anyone can eat fucking Maltisers and big amounts.
Okay, what challenge should I do then?
Mini Rool.
Yeah, Donna Cabab Challenge.
How many fucking large donna cabs can be able to do that day?
No, no.
How many Lepadip?
I'll give you a whole day.
So, you know, it's a fair challenge.
Oh, have you ever had reheated Donner the next day?
It gives me the fucking worst shit.
Yeah, it's like hard on the edges.
Yeah, it's horrible.
Oh, Donna.
Something very strange about Donna.
Just remember our code, the extra large Donner crab.
No mixed-gabab code.
So we have this one from J.C.1-370, but I'm going to actually have to put a warm.
up front that this is like really gross. I found this really gross when I was reading this, but I'm gonna, I'm still gonna go ahead and read it because we need at least one poo story.
I have an epic poo-poo tale for you mingers. Whilst in sick form, a friend of ours, we'll call him Walt, decided to have a house party as his parents were away for the weekend.
One of our friends, let's call him Tim, was very large and would tend to drink more than he could handle, believing his size would compensate for the amount of alcohol.
Tim was also known for having foul bowels.
He'd previously dropped a shit so large in my toilet that my mother couldn't enter the bathroom for several days.
It came to around 3 a.m. at the house party and I realized Tim and Walt had been missing for a few hours,
so I went looking for them to make sure they were okay, but wasn't prepared for what I would ultimately find.
As I approached Walt's parents' bedroom, I could smell the catastrophe before I saw it.
What I found was Walt scrubbing furiously with tears in his eyes, and Tim passed out.
on the bed. Tim had tried to go
to the onsuit in the parents' bedroom but
didn't quite make it. He had shat his pants
and in his drunken state
attempted to alleviate the issue by
pulling the shit out of his pants
and wiping it on whatever he could find.
There was shit all over every surface
the curtains, the carpet, the bed sheets
the walls and himself.
Despite Walt's best efforts, his parents
later found mould growing in the
wardrobe from the residue of shit left behind.
He had to come
clean metaphorically and would never host a party again.
That's fucking grim.
Oh my god.
Wait, so he told his parents that
like a stranger had smeared shit all in their bedroom.
I guess so, yeah.
My parents would kill me.
I mean, you should have known.
You should have known not to invite such a liability.
Yeah, I mean, really.
so how does the shit go to that point
you know don't invite the liability
like you're absolute drunkest
could you imagine like picking the shit out of your ass
and like throwing it around the room
I've always made it to the bathroom
if I need to like be sick
I'll only need a shit and I've been that bad
it wasn't sure I get there for me to be fucking sick
yeah I've never
shit myself due to any
oh
yeah
okay
He had to think,
so much.
I don't think we need to repeat them.
Rip Fluid has a quick one for us.
What part of the chicken is the most delectable?
Chicken.
Wing.
Fie.
Yeah.
I'm a gem, I like wing.
A little tiny wing.
That's the obvious answer, though.
No, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
Don't be a budge.
Everyone's going to say chicken wing, unless we will.
Nope.
Yeah, it's the chicken fire.
boom what most yummiest part of chicken um honestly thigh fillets are very nice boneless thigh fillets
boom exactly yeah I'm sorry oh this is a funny one from leg 27 um because I've been
thinking about this very topic myself hey chart I was watching a few of the older
cast and noticed that Max Payne dead space and gears of war I brought up quite a bit
I was wondering if you think these franchises are still worth going back to for newcomers.
Also, is there any lesser known slash older video game franchises you think people should play?
Thanks, P-Hub Clubbers.
Who has been playing Max Payne?
I played Max Payne several times now.
You played the whole trilogy, right?
Yeah, I played the whole trilogy recently.
I played three when it came out, and I didn't really like it.
And then I was always vocally against it for years.
and then I played it again last year on PC
and I thought, man, this game is one of the best
games ever.
And then I played the trilogy through
very recently.
How did one and two hold it?
It's actually very good, as long as you're able to
hit F5 and quicksave regularly.
Yeah.
Well, they're fucking weird and old, so as long
as you quicksave, it's all good because you need to
learn, you know, you're not going to
approach it with the mindset that they
were designing it with, because it's just a few
years out now. So we're not, people don't think in that same way. Yeah, they're very good.
Yeah, out of those three, that's the only series I haven't played. I only played Max Payne
3 and I mean on Xbox 360. It's so fucking good. It's so good with a mouse and keyboard. That's the
thing. That's the thing. Being able to aim with a mouse, I feel like how, I feel like how they
wanted you to feel. I'm like, I see why, you know, see what you wanted me to feel like.
With a controller, it's just not the same. Yeah, that game specifically does not.
not translate at all, does it?
But Dead Space, I would say
1 and 2
specifically.
Even 3, I mean, it's
okay, it's not as good as the
first two, but
yeah, I reckon they're still pretty good.
The Max Payne trilogy is the best out of
those three franchises.
Yeah.
I don't know, I mean, Gaze of all 1, 2, and 3 are pretty
like, fantastic. Yeah, that's my personal
favorite out of those three.
They're pretty fantastic.
With friends.
Gears 1, I think...
Yeah, Gees of 1 lets it down.
Easy.
Yeah, not that great.
And I don't know if I'd like Gears 2 at all
if I didn't have, like, nostalgia for it.
Well, this was what I was thinking, so I was like...
Because Gears of War is not what it was, you know?
Like, when Gears of War 1 was, like, tease, that was, like, a moment, you know?
And, like, advertising in the games media.
You forget about it now, but...
Relatively, Max Payne might be the most playable.
Like, out of gears and Max Payne anyway.
I think Dead Space sits in a different area
because of just being a horror game
and being slightly different in what it was going for.
Like, it's third person, but it's not quite the same.
The Space One still plays real good.
Yeah, Dead Space One and two are still, like, amazing.
Genuinely, like, incredible games.
And more accessible than Max Payne 1 and 2,
it's just Max Penh one and two are,
something about them that you can't help but be kind of in awe of,
considering when they came out.
They've got really well written,
stories as well yeah that especially that especially fun from the mind of sam like i
fucking love that man yeah the other two don't really have that aspect that they don't have like
well-written stories but they have awesome set pieces like the giz award trilogy it's like it's just
such a fountain of memes and funny shit like uh it's so memorable to me every single one of those
entries is so memorable
with just the dumb shit that goes down
the giant worms the thing I would say
about particularly
Dead Space and well Dead Space 3 but also
the whole Max Payne trilogy is if you have
a friend to play them with
like if you play Death Space 1 and 2 and you think wow
those are great play the third one
with a friend
definitely
yeah the game is designed that way in your own
the story's better too
in 3 if you play a cult
yeah
and Gears of
war play the whole thing but well play one two and three friend don't play four or five
they they kind of suck to me honest play five i reckon because it leads back to two
yeah actually yeah play five play five just don't play it on like just play on normal all right
don't play it higher than that they didn't balance it for anything higher than normal it's
not fun on anything higher than normal it just kind of sucks and this is coming from pro
gamers me and jim tried playing on like the equivalent of
like halo heroic and it was just shit it just was really shit it varied between being like
perfect and just like not thought through I found that with most gears like high high difficulties
though like gears free like it was fine up until the last bit but it's impossible if it wasn't
single player oh yeah that was that was really bad but what about any uh lesser known other
franchises uh you think people should play
Zumbinis?
Zumbini's actually, yeah.
There's Zumbini's on Steam.
It's on mobile, I think.
Fucking likes to play the DSX games with Adam Jensen.
Yeah Zimbini is.
Human Revolution and Mankind divided.
They're fucking sick.
Yeah, I got quite far into Revolution, but
but I just kind of fell off of it.
But it was a very, very enjoyable game when I did play it.
Enslade.
Oh, Metro, Metro.
Play the Metro trilogy if you haven't.
If you don't like the first Metro, fair enough.
Move on to Last Light.
But, you know, if you think, yeah, these games are cool.
Do you play the first one as well.
I don't think that's not known, though.
I think a lot of people know about it.
There are loads of people that play this.
Lesson-None slash older video game franchises, so.
I feel like Metro Cal isn't.
I'll put Metro.
Halo 1 is aged really well
Yeah, Halo 1's like perfect still
Prey
Yeah, play Prey 2017
Yeah, actually an incredible game
It's not older, well it is older
But it's in this particular entry
Less unknown, let's say
Or just underrated
Underappreciated
Bioshock series
That's not fucking that
Everyone knows Bioshock
It's older though
Older, yeah, fucking
Listen, Bioschop 1st, 2000 is 7, right?
That's a long time ago now.
Yeah, that was ages ago.
14 years ago.
What about Half-Life?
Yeah, by MIT, GT Online.
Fortnite, that's not well-known.
What are you going to say, Alex, Half-Life 1?
Yeah, fuck it, play Half-Life 1.
Yeah, I mean Half-Life 2 is old now.
Yeah.
See, I don't consider it old.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Like, old is like Ridge Racer type 4, which is like...
James, it came out when we were like 10.
Yeah, I just like, that sounds like my childhood.
When I think old in games, I'm thinking like PlayStation 1 era, like that old?
When did Rage Racer type 4?
Like, 19.
PST.
90s or some shit.
Incredible.
Came out in 1998.
Boom, incredible game.
Underrated.
It's a soundtrack.
It's so good.
JPEG.
mafia used a sample from it boom that is a play it for the soundtrack that soundtrack is good just
listen to the soundtrack of a dracer type four do it you know what i think is a game that more
people should play what l a noir really yeah i love how dedicated it is to its thing
yeah i just feel like it was a few years too early yeah yeah you're totally right
No, on the subject of that, sleeping dogs.
Yo, sleeping dogs is fucking awesome.
That is a fucking masterpiece.
Yeah, that game is amazing.
The karaoke mini game will have you hooked for hours.
Well, with that in mind, with the karaoke mini game,
the Yakuza games are definitely worth taking a look at if you never have.
Like Yakuza Zero or Yakuza Kaami 1 or 2.
Well, you can use a zero or Yakuza Kawami 1.
Just by GamePath.
game pass and play them.
Yeah, so play every single one of those games
we just listed by next week
and we'll answer to the Westman.
Yeah, all of them. Yeah, you have
to say some
spoilers or something. I'm going to say a lot of our
viewers have probably played those games. The gamers
at least have probably paid quite a few
of the games you mentioned. Like, who hasn't played
Biosho? Well, I'm just going based off
if they're asking about Max playing
Dead Space and Geers-A-War. I mean,
I was just thinking in terms of that kind of group.
Can't forget. Western Evil 6.
definitely play that
okay
absolutely bonkers mate
has a little one for us
what's a better dessert
ice cream cake or pie
cake
yeah I'm with ice cream
Ben and Jerry is all the way
yeah 100% ice cream and pie
fuck you can't say you can't simplify
ice cream just down into Ben and Jerry's
well I just didn't really
I'm with him yeah I'm fucking fuck you bitch
I'm with him bitch I'm supposed to sell this
It's a 2v2.
No one's going for pie?
Pie sucks.
Pie is good, but, you know,
pie is only good with ice.
Cherry pie, brough.
Oh, my fuck's sake.
Perfect pecan.
No, I'm never good.
If these are three options,
I'm never choosing pie.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I would always choose ice cream over a pie.
What about an ice cream cake?
Fuck.
Those are real.
Yeah, and they're good.
That's never had one.
Equalizer.
no but ice cream ice cream is better no i disagree what's the nicest cake there is oh chocolate
fucking fudge cake nice and warm well i like red velvet a lot uh cheesecake oh no cheat yeah no
cheesecake's the correct answer fuck every other one ice cream is better than all three of them no
no no cheesecake how often do you've got so much rarity in cake though you got variety in
So you can have
Yeah, you can have cake in ice cream or something
Yeah, fuck it
No, but here's the question
Like, we're talking the cheapest you can buy
Cheapest cake or cheapest ice cream
Cheapest cake probably better
No
Yeah
Ice cream has a more solid baseline than cake does
A badly made cake
And I've made a plenty
The best cakes are always better than the best ice creams
No, wrong
No, that, no that's fucking bullshit Jim
You know it
it's not bullshit
no cakes
cakes they blow your fucking mind
they blow your pants off
they leave you fucked
chocolate fudge cake
I'm with you man
they leave you fucked
ice cream is incredible
no ice cream
treats you
ice cream
wines and dines you
ice cream
takes you on a
take on a date
ice cream just fuck you
ice cream makes you fall in love
yeah
ice cream doesn't just fuck you
it makes you
ice cream gives you hope
and then it whips it away
when it melts
in front of you exactly you're just not you're just not enjoying it no you ain't treating the ice cream
right yeah you're not you're just using and abusing no you're using that ice cream cake goes stale
like a fucking sandwich no oh shit everything has a time limit yeah because cake has more
of a time limit because if you're sensible if you treat the ice cream right you eat a bit you put
it back in the freezer that shit lasts forever no it doesn't no it doesn't it doesn't
Yeah, it fucking does.
Freezer burned ice cream, nasty.
When you get like halfway through the tub, the tub starts deforming.
Then it's going to get up fucking ice burn and it's fucked.
Why are you eating it out of the tub, you fucking barbair?
The tub of the tub in, you stupid, cunt.
No, like, no, you're fucking shit.
No, ice cream has a longer life than cake.
No, well, that doesn't matter anyway.
It takes way longer for it to get freezer burnt than cake takes to go stale.
Thing is with a good cake, it's not going to be a round one,
because everyone's going to have it, because it's good.
Everyone's going to have a slice of that bitch.
Yeah, you have ice cream with cake.
You have cake with ice cream.
No, you have cake with ice cream.
Well, can we add another one, just say cookie dough?
Yeah, and cookie dough doesn't go in cake.
Cookie dough goes in ice cream.
Yeah, I will say cookie dough, like a good, like a good brownie or good cookie dough.
Brownie goes in ice cream.
Right, so I've just tweeted on the Jarm Media Twitter,
a poll.
So we can just let that collect.
Actually, no, I think there's too many ice cream idiots in our pubs.
Okay.
The ice cream's already winning.
While the, uh, you can't get it's like two votes.
Um, breeding Pablo has one.
The question for Alex, what are your thoughts on the current Lego themes?
Personally, I wish Lego would stop making so many themes about movies and video games
and instead go back to their roots and release pirates, castles, agents, essentially revisiting
that older themes.
I feel as though Lego or just toys in general have suffered in sales against video games and online media
So Lego has to rely more on recognisable properties to stay afloat
Do you worry that in the future Lego themes will solely be restricted to movie scenes or do you feel that it's good that Lego is grown with movies
Tell my thoughts I think I think Lego's growth is good. They're now the most recognized brand
In the world or something even more so than Ferrari
They overtook Ferrari some years ago now really I don't know if it's still that this was a
Night 2015 Lego was the one of the most recognized brands in the world.
He's got to say, Travis Scott has popped up in that timeline, so...
Sorry.
What?
Travis Scott?
Travis Scott Lego?
No, I'm joking that he's more popular than Lego because...
Oh, okay.
That was wasted on you.
Yeah, it was. There'll be a Jowling, you got it.
So, I mean...
My current theme is...
What?
What?
Was that, didn't even just do a funny burp?
Yeah.
What?
It sounded really fucking weird.
Really?
Yeah, I missed it.
It sounded like you were inhaling a burp instead of like...
I'm looking forward to hearing it and editing.
Sorry.
That is...
I'm dying.
I'm actually dying for a classic Lego Western line to come back.
done line to come back you know like that what can you imagine dude that would actually get me into
like yeah that's what i'm after i'd love i'd love for that but i mean my thoughts on the
their current themes i i like it specifically recently because they've started this new like
for adults like line they're going into they're leaning into it even more um i really like
the ideas line um that has like flowers and uh i think there's like a typewriter
and a piano and all stuff like that
that's one of my favorite ones because it's just
so varied and the designs are really
impressive
yeah because like
with all the theme ones the worst thing about
them is just the price
they're so inflated and
I haven't bought any Star Wars ship
for so long because I mean they keep just
redesigning the same sets they become more
expensive and they're just worse in every
way so just not that interested
anymore
I want the
the new
space shuttle so yeah all the space stuff and the the architecture stuff as well is really good
but it's so boring to build that's that's the problem with architecture it's like the best
looking but it's just the most boring builds ever especially if they're big how long until
there's an Elon Musk Lego mini figure uh like a Tesla yeah it's definitely yeah or a space
space tax yeah it's not like educational enough is it because they've got their NASA
thing and that's
that works for them
I can't see him doing it
I hope you don't watch me be wrong like
like an hour after
the episode
it would be like
an ideas page
yeah
my leg is
triple Joe has an interesting
one why do you guys say no
in response to something that you
agree with like for example
in one episode Alex said
it comes out in January
which isn't far away
and Jamie responded with
no January is really close
instead of yeah
January is really close
never really been a grammar
Nazi but this always bothered me
and seems to exhibit negative
reinforcement as opposed to positive
reinforcement
I swear
here's some negative reinforcement
shut the fuck up
moving on
I've actually noticed though
something that we
do. I don't know if this is something that everyone does, but when we agree, we will say no, yeah.
Yeah, no, yeah, I know. There you go.
There's also another thing you sometimes do where you'll just, just to be pedantic, we'll say the wrong thing, but we know that when you say no, actually means yes or vice versa.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I hear that.
Uh, Haydara Fist has one for, uh, well for all of us actually, but regarding James.
If James could only communicate with car engine noises every time he spoke,
how long would it take to understand what he's trying to say?
Okay.
You just speak with perfect English just instantly.
You just sound like the queen.
If it's something like, if I'm happy, I'll just make the noise of bluey,
because you'll know, you understand.
um no i it would be much quicker the other way around
yeah no yeah you know if we could all if we had to speak
me alex and uh reuben had to speak with car noises and james had to figure out what we
yeah that would take years we'd have to let study yeah because we we don't know car sounds
the way james says so like it would be within a day i just feel like oh okay i know what you mean
easy
do you talk to your car like a pet
um
this is a
and have you assigned a gender to your car
no my car is
it's just my car
it doesn't have a name
it's not gendered it's just my car
but I do talk to my car
after I do
extremely illegal things and you just say
good job and you pat it
on the platform
No, no
Everyone does this
Every car die does this
Every everyone does it
It's a car guy thing
Oh every car guy does this
Yeah no you do
You just
You tap the dashboard like good job
I'm not dead
Good job
I was nearly in like a car crash
The other day
Because some some woman like
She's super impatient
I was driving the speed limit
And she just like tried to overtake
Super unnecessarily
Couldn't see
It was on a corner
Couldn't see what was coming
like two seconds
if she'd done it two seconds before or after
they probably would have made crash
I was so fucking angry
people don't like
it's fucking common sense
if you if it's a blind corner
you don't fucking overtake like
yeah you just wait like a couple of minutes
there's nothing that important enough
to just throw away your life
for something so stupid
the most ironic thing I've seen is my sister got into a car crash
because a police officer was overtaken on a blind corner
really
yep
who even gets in trouble
that
that's what happens
when you put a pig
behind the wheel
you know what I'm saying
the police will just like
tough
some of sister
that's like
pay to get out
car with her
and it's just like what the fuck
it's bullshit
damn
I remember with my dad
just a little one
we were filtering
into a different lane
and this guy was
was holding
he was just staying ahead
so we couldn't filter
into the
into the lane with traffic that was going the direction we were
so he nearly forced us into oncoming traffic
nearly killing us both and my dad had to just like
slam the brakes on in the middle of two lanes because he's this guy
just was it was a mistake on his part
I was like I was like maybe 10 at most I don't remember that well
my dad followed him
out of like anger he was never going to do anything
he just wanted to shit the guy up well there's yeah there's just something
so like so deeply
frustrating about when people
My dad was angry because he was like, you need to
kill my son. Yeah, exactly.
You need to kill me and my son.
Yeah, it pisses me off.
See, this happened to me. It's like
there's a long stretch of road
out of our town. And it's like
really wide. So three cars can
easily fit down there. So I was to say
overtaking this guy. A car
was oncoming, but I didn't have, I had enough
room. Then as I was getting past
him, he looked at me and started nudging me
towards the oncoming car, like smiling at me.
I was like, holy shit, you're fucking mental.
Like, you should be in prison.
You're trying to actually kill me.
Yeah, no, I think the act of driving is awesome.
But the act of driving on roads with other people driving is not awesome.
I don't like that.
I can't trust the thousands of fucking assholes around me.
Like, in the short time I've been driving,
like the amount of stories of just these dickheads you see on the roads.
Like, it's ridiculous.
People are just people, they get into a car.
it's like everything's a fucking personal insult.
Yeah, it's like, um, it's like Twitter.
It's like you think you're anonymous.
Yeah, this is what I've been saying.
Yeah.
In evolution, the car was like the first step into, um, you know, like personalityless anonymous beings.
Mm-hmm.
That are just assholes.
Yeah, because you're like going somewhere so you don't have enough time to necessarily, you know, get to,
know each other well yeah you physically can't there's like a bound yeah unless you know it's
like a floor crash and you know it's like in Russia or something and they go and get the
baseball bats yeah the AK yeah it's a wire rifle yeah um I've um I'm glad I've never had any
any road raid incident like I've never been involved in anything because it's just like
if you do something I don't give a shit I
have too many things going in my life to give a shit that you cut me up yeah i'd never have
road rage but that was the first time when that woman did that that was like really fucking pissed
off because yeah you are just playing with people's lives because if you fuck that if you
fuck up a maneuver like that you could be taken down three cars if not more just in one swift
new and people don't realize that that stuff kills people cars are deaf boxes you will
kill people. It might not be
yourself, but you can kill a whole family.
People need to realise the cars of just
death machines. Respect that
because I do, and I haven't been in a
crash yet.
And was that?
They moved on to the last segment
or second to, I don't know.
Yeah, the penultimate question from
Reprise, 7690.
To all the JAR members, what historical
events, periods, figures,
etc. to each of you guys
find the most interesting?
For me, um, I find Russia's fascinating.
Um, I don't know if I really want to go there, but the country's history is, uh, it's just next level.
See, this question's kind of, I can't give an exact, uh, answer because every country, I love the histories of like every country.
Like you think of Roman Empire, then you think of like Mesopotamia.
You think of America is even really interesting.
But what pops into your head like first when you think of like,
favorite historical event historical event it would just be just the roman empire because actually it was
fucking whack it was fucking there's so many emperors did so many different things and it's just like
it's crazy what they did and how Rome like reacted to it it's just like really really fucking
fascinating like that's i was saying to jim not long ago that i'm it's it was wasted that in
primary school we got to learn about the womans because i didn't care then like i'm the
fucking kid and it's like there's so much there that i actually would love to see now that i
will, I have to do in my own time and it would have been
cool to actually do it like in secondary school
when I had an interest. Yeah. History's
like the most interesting
subject but
it can just take a while to figure that out
if the way it was taught to you
was really fucking boring
because it gives you a context
for like everything. It's so crucial
to understanding like the world
and you know what makes sense.
We try to make some sense of it. Yeah it's like crazy
to think that those like empires like
thousands of years ago that just
did things that are still here today
that they just like they were that advanced
at the time that we still do that shit today
it's just it's whack it's crazy
um
I mean I find Marcus Aurelius interesting
because I've been reading what
the things he had to say
back when he was alive
Roman emperor
Marks Aurelius
yeah I find him interesting because of his book
or rather something he not so much his book
because he didn't write these things
with the intention than becoming a book, but
I've been reading Marks Erases's
Meditations that
were since turned into a book
long after his death.
And so again, yeah,
I guess it's the Roman Empire that's pretty
crazy because it's like, man, this guy was
thinking the same way like people do
today and he was alive 2,000
years ago. Yeah, I like that
like Greek philosophers and stuff.
That's something crazy about
just history in general
because
we have
these like
somehow we still have them
these like letters basically
like a bit of parchment
that was written on
and one of the oldest ones
that is known to man
is this like
letter of complaint
about like a fence that he bought
or something
linen or something
yeah and he's just complaining
that he got a shit product
and he's like
can I get a refund or
a replacement of this product
because it sucks.
It's late.
Based.
Yeah, humans
as we know them.
Like, yeah, shit hasn't changed.
We just have Twitter now and cards.
Do you know what's one of the...
I have a lot of interest in the
ancient Chinese, but it's a shame
because there's nothing there.
Like there's a whole lack of actual historical
monuments and like transcripts and whatnot
because Mao fucking destroyed them all.
It's a really big shame
because that country has such a fucking
rich history. That's history
in itself. That's history in itself.
Human beings destroying their history is
so typical of human beings.
Yeah, I went to, when I was in Greece,
one of the temples that had been ravaged
by, I can't remember who it was.
Rome, all of Rome has been fucked because of the same thing.
Yeah. I do want to say Greece, though.
I really like
the
gods and stuff
from old cultures
three gods and
North gods
that's sad
they look fascinating
and the
the stories they had
about them
so much more
compelling
yeah
they seem more like
novel material
than something
you would
yeah than a set
of rules
do you know what's the
craziest thing about
like a lot of the stuff we know about the ancient world.
It's because of Herodotus,
but it's like been proven that he basically just wrote bullshit.
Everything.
Like, one of the conspiracy theories of the pyramids
is that they made the Nile go through it
because it's like a power generator.
It's just bullshit the fucking Hohodototus.
And like, fucking conspiracy theorists on Facebook
are like, no, they built the Nile into the pyramids.
And it's just like, this fucking Greek guy
2,000 years ago is just like,
oh, fucking white this then.
Oh, so crazy
Yeah, any other ones to throw out there
If we do our last question
Pre-history
Pre-history
Yeah, I mean
I've obviously always been drawn
To the time before humans
To me is extremely fascinating
I like the time of humans
Before they were recording history
Mm-hmm
Mental, just nuts
Yeah, just chaos
And the Longbarrow
And Silbury Hill
which is one of the oldest known man
Mastrichter ever exists ever.
Do we know why
they went to this effort
to this day?
No, there are theories I guess, but...
Oh, no, we're forgetting another on the Aztecs.
That fucking that's interesting.
And they just, like, had...
That's crazy.
That's fucking wild.
We basically listed all of the major ones
that everyone kind of thinks is sick.
Well, I think the last 100 years
underrated in terms of how insane it is.
Because the progress and just the change in that 100 years,
I mean, it's the same for every 100 years you analyze,
but the fact we have such a point of reference
and that, you know, our immediate family members
live through a lot of the crazy stuff.
I think this last 100 years has been the fastest progression
like out of every 100 years so far.
Yeah, yeah, I'm glad it's a point we're getting to experience
because it is wacky as fuck
yeah it's like to consider
how much time there has been
like how long has the earth
been around it's like billions
and billions of years
and then in the past 100 years
like
at the start of the
20 yeah wait what
no sorry I fucked that
the 20th century
is the 1900s
there weren't computers
we're in the early 21st
century and we have like
super computers in our pockets
mm-hmm
yeah this point is even trying to predict
what's going to happen you know
we're going to the moon
we've been to the moon
no no that was done in a
that was done in an area 51
forgot shit
let's end on this one then from
uber nile
hi stinky boys I've come hoping
for a definitive answer on the following question
Is the caca demon from the Doom franchise of Dibby?
The Doom 2016 design is pretty horrifying, but I'm pretty confident in thinking the caca demon and Doom Eternal fits the definition.
The design from the classic Doom games is also loved by many.
The developers for Doom Eternal were recently asked on one of their streams about which demon they think is the cutest.
And they said the caca demon was a good choice.
The one with the like big eye, you know.
No, that's not debby.
I'm, I'm torn on it, actually.
Because, I mean, if, yeah, from Doom, I guess it is the one example of one.
But it's with the asterisk of it being still from Doom
and looking like a scary demon monster thing.
But yeah, that's what you're going to buy a plushy of if you're going to buy something from Doom, right?
Yeah, it's true.
But I don't think, we've not looked.
It's not like, it kind of is actually used in marketing to sell it.
It's not the main thing, though, is it?
Or like, it's not aimed for children.
That's a big part of it.
I don't know, man.
It's tricky because, we might just see what the comments think.
We haven't looked to video game debuts, have we?
We haven't, like, they've all been from movies.
It can to be from movies, yeah, but I'm sure there are plenty from games.
Well, on the next, don't know.
Charm is your cod podcast
We're going to talk about video game dibbies
Yeah
And on that note
That's 41 for the books
Any final messages, lads?
I fucking hope there's not many more than this
Holy shit
