Good afternoon, morning, evening on night, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Alex, and welcome to episode 192 of the JARCast. I'm the host. I'm joined by to James. Hello. And, Jamie. I'm covering a hole in my jeans. Who's covering holy in his jean, jean? Before we go into the show proper,

want to shout out the patrons over at Patreon for supporting us and making what we do possible. Thank you. Oh, upgrades may be in our future. Let's just put it that way. Yeah, we're finally starting to invest in some Bitcoin. We're mining Bitcoin. We're mining Bitcoin.

We're finally investing in Bitcoin, ladies and gentlemen. You mean Dogecoin? Bitcoin's past its peak and DogePoint is the next one to kill its peak? Dogecoin? It's an actual cryptocurrency. Did you not know? Oh, sorry. Please break down what Dogecoin is for those listening or watching.

It's the same as Bitcoin, but it's a doge instead. Wow, thanks for really explaining that, so I understand. Well, how, do you want me to... I don't... I might work in finance, but cryptocurrency is not saying I actually know anything about because quite literally doesn't actually exist. It's not a thing. It's a fucking propaganda.

It's alive fed by the government to make you think that our currency's losing value and we should all jump onto cryptocurrency so that the banks can have more control over us. Nice. Basically. I understand. I think I get it now. Yeah, it's all made clear. Yeah, that's crypto currency. So invest while you can.

Sell your soul. So before we go into our topics, this isn't a topic? No, that's not a topic. But there's a bit housekeeping. A few episodes ago, there was somebody in the questions section of the cast that claimed to be an animator who was being taught by

one of the animators who worked on the original Madagascar and we said, you know what, prove it? Because we think you're lying. Jim especially had an issue with this one. I wouldn't say me especially, but... But as it turns out, Reddit user Pluffy FX came out with evidence showing that she was in fact

and is in fact taught by one of the animators from Dreamworks Madagascar, the original. So, uh, she had a few demands from each of us as a sort of apology. Um... I've done my, my apology and that's weird.

She wants Jim to apologize for calling her a I didn't call anyone a bullshitter. I said it was bullshit. I never said... I'm pretty sure you used the exact words. I didn't say bullshitter. For someone to bullshit, they must be a bullshitter. No.

Or bullshittet. Jim, the floor is yours. I apologize that... you thought I said you were a bullshitter. Say it like you mean it. Look, the way I see it, life is one big grey area. And Jim lives in the white area.

Look, I'm the good guy here. What's the white area? The good guy area. Thought we were supposed to avoid the white area. The good area. Yeah, why is white the good guy area, James? Well You don't go from grey to white

You go from grey to black Yeah, most one with black Well, it's called the grey area Because it's near the black area So it's almost illegal But it's kind of not That's why it's called the grey area Yes, it is

So when you break the law It's the black area No, it's like Oh Jesus You're taking what I said Out of context It's like when people are associated with like

a crime organisation but they're not directly in the crime organisation they're in a grey area because they're like No a grey area No that is a literally No no no no no no no Talk about morals

Like you Yeah yeah that's a morally grey area Because you're connected to the fucking Yakuza That's morally grey It's why it's the grey area If I recruit for the Yakuza I'm in the grey area

But I'm not actually part of the Yakuza so I'm not in the black area So what's the white area? That's just being normal But yeah She wanted gentle apologize Calling her a bullshitter James to grow a beard

And For me to make a video from my Lego channel So We'll get on it then I've already fulfilled mine Yeah I've fulfilled mine as well Yeah it's still on you isn't it Look I'm really

sorry that was nice really genuine sounding I am really sorry I'm very apologetic you know I don't think in my

my many years of knowing gym I've ever heard him actually apologise that's horse that's horse no I'm not saying you haven't I'm just saying I've never heard it? That's horse. Horse burgers, horse shit.

Speaking of horses, I have a joke for you. Oh, are you gonna, is this your attempt to please? My material. This is a comedy podcast, remember? So we need to be keeping it on target. Yeah. Stay on target with the comedy for FFS.

Stay on target. What do you think of this? In Canada, you're more likely to dive a kick of a moose than a terrorist attack. There's damn Muslims So I can't take credit for that one That was one of the most

Upvoted posts on R slash jokes for the month Okay I thought this is what I wanted to get Our collective opinion on A couple of the bangers from R slash jokes and see we're using our...

Should we rate them out of ten? Yeah, let's rate a few a slash jokes. You don't have to rate them. If they make us laugh, they're not bad. That's how jokes work. So you want it to be a yes or a no based on...

No, it's just a laugh or no laugh. Yeah, which is yes or no. It's binary one or the other. On or off. Okay, that's a simple way of doing it. So do you want me to do that one again so you can test if anyone laughs? Yeah.

In Canada, Don't say it again. We've already fucking heard it. It's not going to be funny. No, just pretend that I've said it again. No. No, no. Look, five, at the end of me counting down from five, I've said it again.

And then we have to react. Okay, three. Five, four, three, three, two, one. No. Okay, so two of us laugh, so that's a funny one. Oh, I'm not oasis, so. Oops. Jesus.

Okay, all right, Mr. I'm out here calling people a bullshitter. What? It's not cool, James. By this one. If you rearrange the letters of mailman, you get them very angry. Ah. Did it? Yes.

So that's a no, then. I'm still trying to work it out. What if the delivery is wrong? No, that one, no. By this one, Steve Jobs would have made a better president than Donald Trump. But that's comparing apples to oranges. Come on, James, I saw you trying to hide the laughter from that one. That's 41,000 up votes.

How about this one? Why did the Star Wars movies come out in the order 456-1-2-3? In charge of the sequence, Yoda was. 38,000 upvets. What about this? What's the difference between a computer and an American? An American doesn't have trouble-shooting. 38,000 upvotes?

That one doesn't make sense. No, it does make sense. Troubleshooting? To troubleshoot? Oh, for fuck sake. Okay, how about this one? Let's do two more. My wife stormed into the pub last night,

as me and the boys were downing shots of tequila. You're coming home now, she screamed. No, I'm not, I laughed. She said, I'm talking to the kids. 32,000 updates. Why are you guys not laughing? This is golden. Can I, can...

Come on, find one good one. Is there a good one? Should I change... This is the past month. Like, should I go to... top of all time. Yeah. Oh, we already know

it's going to be expected there, don't we? So, this is the top-voted joke on our jokes of all time. Calm down about the net neutrality thing. Paying additional money

to access certain sites will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. 136,000 upvotes. that's the most Reddit joke I've ever heard yeah it's not even a joke it's just a reference to a Reddit

to the most downvoted Reddit comment of all time that should be the most downvoted ready comment oh and the second most upvoted one is just titled V and then it says

edit seems like the control key on my key board is not working 106,000 other hits Oh okay Jim like that one That one I respect more than the others A bit more to it

A bit more to unplac Yeah but it's sort of a commentary on the whole subreddit Explain Control V is paste he's implying that most of the jokes are just

some reason I thought that was undue it is though isn't it right Control P No it's not control B Control C is copy Control V is paste Yeah

Yeah that's what I meant So yeah it's pasting I was getting confused Because paste starts with a P Yeah So it's a wicked place Is that not Can we talk about Reddit for a second?

Sure. Kind of shite it is. It's bloody terrible. What's your problem with it? I don't think Reddit is terrible. Well, that sub-reddit for one. That's quite bad. I feel like any sub-reddit with over a million people on it,

it's just going to be bad. Because if any fandom's that big, then chances are it's going to just be toxic anyway. So what's the point? Yeah. I've got a good example. and it begins with D. You're going to say, or do we just have to guess? Destiny.

Oh, destiny. You know, people that don't have lives. One of the subreddits I've recently had a fair amount of interaction with, not my, like, posting anything of my own in there, but just reading a lot of is, I've been on the Gears of War Reddit, a fair amount, because I've been playing the new Gears of War. And, subreddit's based on like communities

get a bad rap for like being ultra negative but this one is taking it to the next level because when a community isn't happy with the state of the game like it just comes out in the form of the subreddit just being like a war zone it's something

I wouldn't say Reddit is bad I mean for one it's good for some things if you play video games it is good yeah it's very good also if you like jar it's good if you like jar some of the YouTube ones are good there's a really good subreddit that I like

which is like a particularly good smash Bros ultimate comebacks or wins I can't remember what it's cool but it has just like these videos of like some really good smash Bros things for like niche things like that is quite handy that that

that place or Reddit but a lot of the things that are upvoted to the top are indeed lowest common denominates yeah as you'd expect or they're just like paid shit that just gets upvoted in there like

I opened it this morning and was like there was a post of like character posters for Jumanji 2 starring the rock and it was like ain't nobody caring no one gives a shit about this

character posters for Jumanji too Who's up voting this? Nobody That's just a paid thing Oh get out of here Get out of your argue You don't be barking in the background This advertisement

No No No Right So we promised Last episode that we'd talk about Flamer and acid man Because we ran out of time

I'm definitely going to need Jim's help for this I don't think James knows anything about them so Is this a Is this a A we figured word To

Based on some shitty YouTubers No no Nothing like that Because last episode We were talking about Spice We're talking about Our sort of own creations

You didn't get it don't I We're talking about O.C is our own original ideas and worlds And we mentioned a superhero character. Flamer, Iser, Acid Man. That's right, yeah, it was Flamer, Iser and Acid Man.

Because you couldn't have Ice Man because that's an X-Men thing. That's why it had to be Iser. No. And I also like the wordplay of it being like a savings account, like Icer thing. Well, I mean, we didn't know what that was when we... No, no, I did. Did you really not find that funny? We were like...

I would have been like seven years old. I knew what I would have been 10, yeah. You fucking didn't. You didn't know what a goddamn olive order. I specifically knew what an ISA was. I specifically knew what an ISA was because I remember asking or overhearing mum or dad talk about them for some reason.

So the first thing you thought, a fucking savings account now that. It gives him a good, like, you know Clark Kent, he works in a newspaper. Iser, like, during the day he works in a bank. In a bank, yeah. There you go. So he's Isser.

That's funny, dude. No, but he wasn't... Flamer came first. So what do you call the opposite Flamer, Iser? Like, not that... You're giving yourself too much credit. No, no, this is something I've added on now,

my current brain. No, I know, but I mean, even saying you, like, the wordplay of ICER. No, it's just reverse flame. No, but I remember thinking, oh yeah, ICER. What is ICER? And then finding out. Oh, yeah, yeah. But I didn't, this is a relevant. Point was, I can't remember, like, that really the, the context aside from, there was the, we love the trampoline growing up. Trampoline was a big deal in the garden. after every day of school it was just outside to the trampoline

first thing until it got dark until it got dark um and for some reason we had these like red sheets do you remember these like huge red were they bed sheets what were they huge covers right

were they duvet covers but were they like unwanted duvet covers or why were they there why do we have them one way or another we came up with idea of taking these sheets and we love doing forward flips and jumping all around on the trampoline obviously so when you wrap yourself up in a sheet and do these same stunts it makes it look really badass and you feel like a superhero because you got this like flaming red trail behind you so of course that led to the invention of flamer the way

you're describing it I just remember you being like wrapped up in a sheet jumping onto your back, then back onto your feet while going, Flamer. Yeah. Flamer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's also when I came out with Issa, right?

Because it was Flamer. Iser. Yeah. You didn't have a white sheet? I don't remember having a white sheet because it all stem from Flamer. Yeah. But then you need an arch nemesis, of course, which is where Asaman comes in.

Did acid man start off as a bad guy? He was one of those sort of... Gray area? Black area. No, he was one of those, you know, stereotypical... Which way is he going to turn type characters? So gray area then? Yeah.

But obviously he does turn evil and hence the acid man. And I can't remember the exact details, but acid man to me was the interesting one. the truly fascinating character out of these super heroes he like worked in an acid factory or something and he fell into some acid and became acid yeah that's exactly what happened it's like that's his origin we totally could have written a marvel comic no yeah no the backstory like we could write a spider-man comic with acid man in it science experiment gone wrong But I feel like we were slightly older, so we were kind of mocking superhero tropes in our own weird way. Well, it was just like a...

Because that's obviously a retelling of the Joker origin, with him falling in a vat of something. And we really liked the Batman animated series and that sort of thing. So all those classic superhero animated shows and everything. And I loved Spider-Man as well. Yeah. So these events gone wrong. experiment's gone wrong type thing it's pretty familiar territory for us at that point

so we're able to assign the acid man backstory but aside from that I can't really remember much more honestly well they they weren't like spice they were sort of a joke to us yeah they were funny because it was like just

it was the song first and everything was built around that Flamor song I want to say it was one of those things that kind of annoyed me. Yeah, and because it annoyed you made me like it more and do it more. Yeah, it was definitely

one of those. I specifically specifically the song being the thing that annoyed me. Yeah, yeah. Because you liked Flamer himself. Yeah, Flamer and Iser. They're cool guys. Because weren't you Iser? And I was Flamed. No, I thought you were Iser.

Because you always liked the Ice Bionicle and stuff. Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. so I gave you the limelight being Flamer yeah but you always wanted to be like the edgy one that's sort of on the side like the fan favorite Boba Fett yeah yeah yeah

yeah I could see that but I specifically remember something about like and I don't know what I'm tapping into right now but like a memory of this whole event an acid man related one where I remember vividly imagining an acid covered city and the trampoline, the game, was like,

imagining the pools of acid and jumping around the acid so you're avoiding it. Something like that. Acid played a key role with the trampoline. Acid man was kind of awesome, to be honest. Yeah, he was like a true foil.

Yeah. Any questions, James? none of it makes sense oh that's where you that's the problem how does flamer become flamer and icer become icer I don't know if we got that far

yeah I didn't even thought of it all we would do is joke about acid man because of the name I think more than anything yeah and in reality it would probably just be some

some guy who buys some LSD off a drug dealer and then just like some trampoline yeah That's the real acid man We can try that No we don't support

Any of that sort of nonsense here Yeah so if you have your Flamer and Acid Man questions Just leave them in the comments And we might get to them one day Because I can't really think of anything else about that one They're saying the whole spice Breakdown, this is a more

I did have my superhero comic that had driller in it you loved your ERs at the end of character names we always have literally up until probably 2015 we've always had the ERs what about triangular

triangular yeah the triangle character yeah but I didn't really do anything with that one that was just created like the ER thing up until 2019 we've always had the ER Cantusser

That was you that did that No, that was you No, that was not me No, it was can'tasser There's a Gears the war enemy called The Cantus and James would call it a Cantusser for some reason No, you would

call a mule Uh, muleer Moolerna Moolerna, that's it, earner Yeah, no, it transitioned from Err to Erna that's right no that

yeah I think that's true true because that's just post this is pre is that like the upgraded version of ISA

yeah because I was obsessed with the phrase Bunsen burner nice little earner but you don't know what nice little earner meant no I did

but it was like I couldn't I couldn't apply that to anything else so I just took the earner bit Kern earner there's all sorts of

yeah yeah yeah Because then, but do you remember my Facebook account called James House Err? Like this is... James Houseer, yeah. Houser, before Earner. It was, that's when I started using that as well.

Yeah, I mostly remember Kern Earner. But I don't know if was that a character or just a funny name, I couldn't tell you. That was just Kernner. I mean, there's nothing else to it, really. There's more to the earners than that. Yeah, there's Kern. I hope other people made up weird words and things as well. Because it was just be like, what the?

I think it was only you, because I definitely didn't do it. I, like, I've never known anyone else quite. And on that, and there was a certain thing we'd always do where we would try and organize, like, a dog walk or a bike ride. Oh. And it would drive James up the wall where he'd ask a time. Sorry, James is very time. No. No, not really.

not anymore you were do you think it's fair to say that you were yes 100% I was because I was a young child and monom for two matters I was just like I fucking need to go home so every time James would ask like what time

are we hanging out Alex being a literal fucking child would be like Willie O'clock Willie up Bert o'clock Willie up butta clock was my normal response and then just don't reply I'll be on that

no you don't know how fucking furious I'd go I straight up have fucking tantrums. Like, Alex isn't fucking lying. Fuck you. You fucker. Where every time where I would say it was William Buckleckle. Why would you even ask? Because I need to know.

Because I actually, I was fucking polite and I didn't want to show up at your house without like you knowing. So I wanted to know the time. The thing is, it always ended up being like the same time that we'd meet up. Yeah, pretty much. So you'd ask, get angry. And then you'd still. No, but there was times when if Alex did it, like,

there was a threshold where if Alex did it too much, I would just like, I'm not, I'm like refusing to do it now because you've annoyed you too much. So I just didn't, didn't show up. Just because of the Willie Up But a clock thing. Yeah, you do it sometimes now and I'm like, no, you do it more than me now. Yeah.

Because you think you're getting revenge. No, it just makes Alex laugh. No, it's not, though, because it's not even serious, because it's not even me asking, it's not you answer it last, Someone else, I'm just like, really up a clock, but then I actually reply normally. But now you have those type of things now, which you do, just a bit different.

Like what? I need to remember. Willie up but a clock. Willie up butter clock. Pooh-fart o'clock. No, you're just throwing me under the bus this time. No. No, there's a lot you did. Jesus, that sounded.

ominous. There's a lot you did. I know what you did last summer. That smile. That damn smile. Well, yeah. Any other little bits here and there before we head into segment DOS?

I was actually normal as a kid. Wow. No. I did normal things. saying you tried being normal no I was normal oh so you were normal and I tried being normal once yeah and you still aren't

worst five minutes my life am I hey me and my wig is taking real chances huh me and my where was that gonna go bro me and my willies are but a clock home

don't just don't start saying that Alex please does it does it actually genuinely upset you No, it just like, it brings me back. It's like a fucking vortex sucking me in deep. Now you know what the Fajowa incident's all about. No, because Fajoras give you niceness. Wiliup Burt just hurts me.

Willie up butt gives you niceness. I love that when James doesn't realize some of the things he says. Yeah. Until it's too late. Dude. I'm fucking so tired. Willi up butt till it hurts. That's not what.

We'll be back after these messages. Life can be a dick sometimes. So get your dick from out your hand. And don't be a dick, wear a dick. Dick the head t-shirts available now. Check the description below. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to this episode of the Jam Media podcast. Today, you're joined by myself.

Why do you intro it again? Like people that they're not leaving, hopefully. They're not starting here. They're just continuing. but anyway this is the part of the show where we usually head over to Reddit and answer questions from there but we had to record this episode a bit earlier than usual so there's no thread at the time of recording us that we haven't already used so instead we're doing a little segment moment where we are going to talk about a couple of the things we've been consuming as of late things that have been on our mind um just little anecdotes here

here and there, and then we'll head over to Twitter where I put a thread, and we can just have a nice, relaxed sort of little moment as a collective type deal. Sounds nice. Because this has to happen, it's an equilibrium thing, where you have an episode as crazy is 191. 192 has to be a bit more subdued, so it's just the way. It's just the way. What should we lead off with then?

James What's the latest What was the most recent Porn you watched I got a pretty good answer I can fucking tell you actually Because I don't watch it anymore Because I'm a new man

What because you're doing no nuts November No I failed that within the first day Wow someone said that proudly there's nothing wrong with busting a nut dude you're preaching to their choir here brother I mean

wait what's your answer then to what question the porn question what's the question what's the most recent one you've seen you don't want to know that okay I guess I don't no one wants to fucking know that

well I mean it depends Well, I can't, I... It feels like a pizza funny one. Like a funny pizza one. Do you think me, Alex, watch pizza funny ones on a serious note? There's a perfectly reasonable chance. I haven't seen that classic video of the black guy fucking his own ass for a while. That's one of the classics.

James loves that one. That fucking is so funny. Holy fuck. Yeah, that's bad. That's really bad. But, no, I've been... watching something kind of cool lately

something that I'd always been led on to believe that was a bad series and then I'm I sit down and I start watching it I'm like hang on a minute wow yet again the government's lied to the community and this gem

this uncut gem has been basically just left rot and what I'm of course talking about is the the series of movies called the Twilight Saga Twilight. I'd never

seen Twilight and in fact I'm pretty sure I promised that I would never watch one a few months ago and yet here I am. Why do you think it's funny to pretend that these are good? There's no joking words coming from here. There is, look at your fucking bullshit oh so now

you have a... So because I'm smiling that means I'm automatically not because you're smiling because it sounds like you're lying and it sounds like i'm lying you are 100% listen no listen i mean the government has lied to us again Twilight is an awesome series no okay just because you have you reviewed it like that on letterbox doesn't mean it's true he gave it a one star he gave the first one star on letterbox and his comment was not reflective of his one star Was it Alex?

What was my comment? Oh, this movie is fucking mad. No, you're getting my reviews mixed up. No, no, no, no, no. There are five Twilight movies. Which is five too many. Unbelievable. Unbelievably awesome, because there's so much content.

There should have been two. There's enough content over the story for about two movies. Really? That bad? Yeah. Oh, geez. It's bizarre because it's the type of thing I remember when they were coming out that was like Yeah that's the girl thing

No I remember before the first one Like when it was just sort of teased You know when the movie like the first trailer Yeah I remember you watching it and being like oh this might be good Yeah because it was around Christmas time I remember there being some like behind the scenes Kind of movie a show on BBC

or some British television thing. Right. And there was like a segment about upcoming movies and the original Twilight was teased in there. And I was like, whoa, this could be good. Note this one down. This could be awesome.

And it turns out to be the original Twilight, not knowing what it was based on and everyone involved in everything. It's a fucked up series. It's a fucked up series. You can't get away with having main characters exist the way

Bella Bella Thorne or whatever she's called That's the name of an actress Isn't it? Yeah, an actress Who's Bella Thorne? The main character of Twilight That's what we're talking about

Is that her name? No, Bella Thorne's a like Like an ex-Disney Channel girl who... And Alex just chatted shit on her this random woman's acting capabilities.

Yeah, because she's awful. Yeah. Bella forms fucking told. She's probably in strange magic or something. Oh, fuck. Okay. That's what we need to do her video. Strange magic is good as they say.

But is Twilight as bad as they say? 100% is terrible. It's worse. Yeah. It's actually worse than us is way worse. because you go in expecting bad obviously it's twilight I was expecting like

lame you know like yeah corny like more of the corny early Harry Potter stuff that just being a whole movie which like isn't inherently bad but it's just like

not my thing whereas these movies are just one of them is genuinely awesome. That being the very last one. For the main reason being, there is this twist in the movie. I thought that was the penultimate one.

No, it's the last movie. Oh, wow. There is this, um, there's like a huge fight scene that goes on for like 15 minutes. People are getting decapitated, it's crazy. And then the ultimate twist at the end of the fight scene is that it's revealed that that whole fight was just a vision and didn't happen. And that's how they convinced the like bad guy of the movie to not fight because he sees the vision of the him being defeated in the in the epic battle so then he doesn't go through

with it. So there's literally no conflict really in the movie. There's no conflict in any of the movies though. Like every every bit of conflict is so forced and unnecessary. yeah it just makes no sense like I was watching one of them earlier I think eclipse yeah the third one that just the same story over and over yeah the first one is just there's a vampire in town people start disappearing in the town and it turns out vampires are killing people or whatever and then the then they're defeated and then the next one people start

vanishing in the same town but this time instead of it being vampires it's well wolves. And then the third one, it goes back to the, people start disappearing. He's serious. Because it's like a vampire is doing it again. Oh my God. And then in the fourth one, the whole movie is a wedding. It's a wedding and then like a sex scene where the main character gets pregnant with a vampire baby.

And the vampire baby starts making her die really quickly. because she's like she's got a vampire inside her and she's not powerful enough to yeah she's still a human yeah so then the film kind of ends with her being turned into a vampire and then the last movie is

there's nothing there's like a fake fight and then it ends and they just live happy ever after it's a bizarre franchise there's no story for that many like for five films five

films that's that must be like over 10 hours of content 10 hours of story and that's all that comes from it actually blew my mind all of them are just pathetic though but they ride the line of being just annoying and boring and being so bad that they're funny and a couple of them are really funny the first one has some really comedic moments and Breaking Dawn part one and two have some really funny moments because they like that last harry potter movie or the hobbit or whatever it was like a real trend at the time to take book series and just really stretch out of these films and just put a bunch of filler shit in and twilight is like the worst example of it by far so that's sort of what i've been watching as of right that and i polished off bojack which we talked about yeah a couple episodes ago Um, there's actually a movie we all watch together. What's that?

Four Lions. Oh, yeah. Quite an old movie now. Like, very old. Yeah, very old. Over ten years. Twelve years? Something like that, yeah.

13 years, I think. Was it 2008? Seven, wasn't it? Yeah, somewhere around there, anyway. But it's, yeah, a comedy about terrorists in London. Which doesn't sound like the funniest premise, but... They make a movie. it funny.

It's unbelievably funny. Like, I have not laughed at a movie in, like that in forever. I knew James would love it. I knew it would tickle James. It was fucking great. I had such a great time watching it. And the, every, like, element of the movie is so good as well. And, like, the climax being potentially my favorite part.

Really? It's, like, so ludicrous. And, like... There are some great jokes in that. movie too. Properly memorable. That's so funny. And some of the funniest bits, they literally just come out of nowhere, where it's just

like so ridiculous and it's great. The funniest character is like, there's this northerner who like, he really believes that he's like this Muslim extremist. But he's got this really thick northern accent. The only white guy. And he's a white guy and he's like, he has this like terrible, poorly thought-through plan. And it's just a hilarious dynamic. But like James said, it's been a long time since I've watched a comedy and found it this funny.

Consistently funny. Yeah. Not just like a funny bit or whatever. Like the groaning moments that so many comedies have. Yeah. There was a few bits where it wasn't funny, but it was. wasn't like it wasn't bad it was just like there's a few jokes that don't like land but you're never eye rolling or like no it's just but then it's just like you go a bit longer

then there's genuinely really fucking funny bits it's just like it it all rolls into a very very good experience and it's not that long either I don't think it's quite short it's short and it's full of obvious like commentary it's lots in yeah really cleverly written. A good bit of a British comedy. Like a good example. This ain't no fucking TV burp. It ain't no fucking, uh,

what's that twat? The lemon guy. Lemony. Keith Lemon. Keith Lemon. Yeah, not a fan of Keith. It ain't no fucking Keith Lemon. If you just get, if you have it like a few hours free,

just fucking sit down and watch it, grab your popcorn. Four Lions. It's called Four Lions. It starts strange. It's got a really strange beginning that hits you out of no-go and then it just kind of fucking gets while she figure out what it's doing Yeah, it's hilarious And me uh on the subjects of comedies I've seen a super bad and 21 Jump Street recently, which I'd never seen before You've never seen Superbad or 21 Jump Street

I hadn't seen either of them and uh do people love Superbad especially yeah i mean i was considered one of the great comedies i guess really mm-hmm as far as american ones go i was quite disappointed by both to be honest really i just think they're both those movies they're just good to me they're not great they're like average

i've for reference i've rated super bad below 21 jump street right at two stars and 21 Jump Street is at two and out of like i don't think they're awful movies or anything i just don't think uh in both of them the lacking part was the humor right but i don't think there's a cultural thing a bit there do you think there's a slight a slight thing for that i understand why um comedies like uh what the fuck is it called which always sunny right that's american and i have never watched an episode and not laughed at least one bit right like why can

that be so funny to me and then from the same culture well with um 21 Jump Street at least Um, it's like an incredibly generic premise. Like a reboot of some terrible TV show. Like, whatever. But they, what makes that movie work is they lean into the, the absurdity of knowing that it, it even exists and that it was greenlit. Really overtly, they just make, they mock that whole concept. Yeah, yeah. And those jokes are funnier, but, um, it's still full of just like,

Yeah, because it's not written by Lord and Miller. They directed the movie and the sequel, but it wasn't written by them. I'm sure they had some influence, and I'm sure the best stuff in the movie is because of them, but it wasn't written by them, unless I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure it's not, though. But you, James, you got anything? You've been playing any outer worlds? Yes.

Many people will know that a very niche company, that nobody knows about Gold Obsidian recently released a game. That game was Outer Worlds. Yeah, loads of people have been asking us to do as good as they say on Outer Worlds, but if that does happen, it will be in a long time because none of us are even close to even finishing it. No, and being in an Obsidian game, it's like a play-through is not enough to get an opinion on it. You need to do quite a lot of change, different, like... Yeah.

play throughs but I get it I get it I haven't played it that much but I get it it's it was like oh this is how people see Fallout New Vegas

is like this game like it's still jank and this stuff that annoys me and is bad to me but I get it the freedom you have

is just so like oh yeah I can just approach like well you can role play yeah you can actually role play yeah it's not like

the yeah but like why even cool half the games we do role playing games when they're just not like just just because you get XP and can level up a skill tree doesn't necessarily mean you're playing roles like what like player expression do you have

in a lot of these like more linear type games and that's the big appeal especially for like if you're after that kind of super wide open RPG playground that you can't go to Bethes for it anymore.

You can't go to pretty much any game, literally. Not in like the triple A space anyway. So like for such a big sort of project with like talent and money and sort of like the mass effect

fallouty bioshock sort of inspiration thing or coming to one. It's like a very gamery game so I can totally see why people like it. I just wish they had more money to put into like

gameplay gameplay what do you mean by that like the shooting the the moment to moment it's just fine yeah I wouldn't say it's good I wouldn't say it's bad yeah because I was playing I've been playing

like those are shooters lately Geys a War Destiny where the where like they're not only do they have a really good frame rate and run really well but they feel right when you pull that trigger you feel it you feel the right kickback like the enemies react and everything

because outer worlds is so open and not really going for that and you can play even without a bunch of combat in that yeah the most fun is when you're getting information and experiencing a story as opposed to yeah and i like towards the other way around the universe is fun because it's it's it's tongue and cheek but not in an annoying video game way like so many video games when they're they try and do humor it's just fucking annoying it's borderlands yeah i cannot stand that deadpool style of like humor yeah it really feels like yeah these people have existed in this just piece of shit universe and everything is just normal to them and yeah you have the option like as in in control of your character when you're talking to these people to be like wait this sounds ridiculous what are you talking about or you can just go along with it yeah obviously your character in the game has literally not been, like, involved at all.

He's been frozen for like 70 years, right? Yeah, it's the perfect setup with the like fish out of water. It's the exact same setup almost as Fallout 4 being frozen and it going into the world. Yeah. And this game is what I wanted Fallout 4 to be. Yeah, it does. It doesn't feel way bad. Yeah, I gave up on Fallout 4 within half an hour.

It's like if you, if Fallout 4 was disappointing to anyone, Outer Worlds will just be a fucking amazing experience because it is so good. It's like I will never ever buy a Fallout game ever again because of this game. Because it is everything I, like all the shit that New Vegas is and generally looking back on it, it's shit. The Outer Worlds does everything so perfectly. Like every single complaint has been rectified. Every single thing's been improved. The game, yeah, like you said, the game plays.

and all that might be not but everything is such to a good level that it's just better than most every other game. It's like it's fine when a game that feels really good doesn't have the best story but like it keeps you playing

from how great the and nobody playing destiny for the goddamn store and I don't think you'd be right to play outer worlds just for the combat. No like it's it's all about experiencing the storylines. The combat it's fine it's like you get to experiment with it and it's like it gives you yeah they have like some fun shit in there as well like a shrink ray and yeah i wouldn't say the get

the gunplay really isn't bad like not fallout bad it no there's still kick and there is still but it's like they have a lot more they can expand on but it's obviously it's like you do one fight but then you're exploring and you're like having the the world's storytelling you through like the building design and what you're just walking into and it's like the whole first like companion you meet I read their entire backstory just by wandering around so when it like I learned through the character it was just like a click where it was just like that really works and it made me get closer to the character because it's just like it felt will almost it's organic like yeah you get so much story from just going out of your way like

and reading about if you go into a new location and start reading the terminals and then talking to different people you get all these like different opinions and like you can sort of figure out the fact and the truth of what happened in this place from all the different opinions you get like it's actually genius some of the shit they've managed to do but just everything about it is so good and it's it's got charm it's got that you can tell it's been made with actual like love for the project like it weeks of it that's so weirdly what annoyed me about it

was like these guys create a fallout I really just wish this could be a fallout game yeah I wish they clearly that's what they want to obviously they want to do that no but I'm going to straight up say this is better than the fallout world

it doesn't it doesn't have the hook that fallout does like there there is like a real cohesion and like just natural interest in the um fallout world to me like that's the only reason I've ever cared about it is because of just the world is so cool

the idea of it that was like created by yeah and the only real hook that Outta World's has is the like rampant capitalism thing which I will say it might get a bit tiresome like they can't yeah I've heard that it does get tiresome but I don't know

myself I haven't played nearly enough to comment on that well I was hoping they'd sort of have different like different places lean different ways but instead it's kind of like everywhere is just the same yeah so they they definitely have ways that they can change the world and there's a lot they can do with it and I think they will

you also I don't want to stay on this for too long because like it's just a great game buy it literally support it well you don't even need to buy the game just get game pass for a month try it but you know if you do love it actually because it's the only way you're gonna get more you have to actually support the well I wouldn't have played I wouldn't have paid 60 bucks to play the game no but it's no way but because it was on game pass I installed it's not much I would play pay pay like real money to play anymore unless it's yeah it's that race to the

bottom thing where it's like you can play free to play games that are better than a lot of triplet games now so like you got to earn you got to earn people's time just great game honestly can't can't fault it yeah I'd recommend it Especially if you love fall out of your videos, literally. Yeah. So the last five minutes then, let's head over to JAR Media Twitter. We can get a few little things to discuss. A quick, quick fire thing of sorts for the last five minutes.

Lord Bung responded to our tweet, saying, if each of you could have your own Lego set inspired by your individual lives, hobbies, events, passions, and epic personalities, what would they look like? I would find doing your one's easier than my own. What? Really? James'es would be easy.

Like, garage set. You got his garage, your car. And you, like, working on it. Like, that's a... I can picture that set. You've got your tools, you got... You got your car there. You can customise little pieces on it.

That's a set. That sounds like a fucking boring set. How? A garage. No, about Lego City. is all about just like real life but in like you can get garbage trucks you can get street

cleaners like old bluey yeah that's like an obvious one mine could be like a weird meta one where it's like the Lego room with loads of mini versions of actual Lego sets but built out of Lego

that's a cool idea I don't because Lego's done that before they released a set that was like a Lego shop set built out of Lego so many layers

Yeah Um I reckon mine would be me sat on the toilet A toilet set Yeah A bathroom No that's that's not

That's not That's not Well you said What would mine be then In your opinion You said My hour Doing hours

Is easier than your own there are options there are big time options for you because whatever professional you're working at the time like already has Lego sets that exist basically right so just do something like that do like

there's the cool um city corner or like the city street things where you can like oh i love that i wish i had a bunch of i'm blanking on the name right now but you build like a a building yeah or a street corner or something and the idea is you get a bunch of them so you can combine them all and it makes like a lively street yeah oh and we out all hours could go together like connect yeah that's badass get on it jar fans yeah get on it lord

hodge at ah hod hodshun hodson says experience with school plays in assemblies i got scared i had stage fright i made sure to be the person who doesn't speak i think i was the donkey um i was in a couple school plays i remember you doing the mr bean dance i was mr bean in one i was an uh paleontologist in one as well and I was a dragonfly and whips a daisy angel oh I was I was Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer

my breakout role I remember actually yeah oh man I don't think I've ever been happier yeah I only took part in that kind of thing in primary school once I went to second grade

now all your confidence sapped away actually I remember doing an advert for deodorant. It was like one of those PSHED is. And my role in this was there were two people on stage and they both go like,

oh, what is that smell? And then I walk on and go, sorry, guys, that's me. And that was my one line. And assemblies. go hated assemblies I loved assemblies assemblies were good because you could just like

sit there and I was the light kid in primary school do remember I sat by the light switch and then when we turned the lights off to use the projector to sing our Christian songs do you never have to be envy that you might have been picked to be the fucking protect the screen guy

I wanted to be that but then I got the fucking bin man duty I was the fucking bin man that said they yeah that was a nice sort of laid back cast just talking about a few topics hope you enjoyed
