Starting point is 00:00:00 I need control. Stop trying for control. We live in a determinous reality. You have no control. Give into the power of God. Give into the power of God. Everything you do is a choice you make currently. There's no preset.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Give into the power of God. Give into the power of God. No, you choose what you want to do. You choose where you're going to tell you like is. Give it into the power of God. What you do with the past, you're being stupid. Give into the power of... You're being stupid.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Huh? You're being stupid. Okay. How's Jim being stupid? No, determinism. It's literally the only explanation. No, because nothing's can change, choosing what I do tomorrow. You're not choosing?
Starting point is 00:00:50 Oh, no, I am. I choose everything I do. No, you don't. I do everything. The illusion of choice. No, there is choice. There's a choice constant. I need to be like the people on this cast. Sorry, but there is absolutely choice.
Starting point is 00:01:04 We'd be naughty units. No, it's just I'm the only one with messy hair on the cast, so I have to look somewhat presentable. I'm the only one. Hmm. Look at these. Do you use them? Do you actually use them?
Starting point is 00:01:19 You don't actually use them, do you? So get rid of them. Determine how spicy this cast is going to be. It's because I don't, I haven't got, where's a knife? No, it's just fucking sick. Yeah, you don't need a knife. Anyway, you're banned from knives in this house.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Oh, for God's sake. There's no knife up here. Sit your ass down. Why would there just be a knife in it? Yeah, sit your ass down. They made me cool security. Cool security. But this is my point.
Starting point is 00:01:46 This is a point that someone who's an expert in the design of jacket is going to say, James, you're absolutely wrong. But the little tassels that used to, you know, to kidnap people like this, pointless there's actually no reason for them I just look like a medieval fucking pleb you do look medieval
Starting point is 00:02:05 you're wearing chain mail yeah like what's the actual point of it you actually look like a knight like a basic fucking poundland night he's gonna die the first night that's awesome
Starting point is 00:02:19 found land night that's so fire pound land night but these are actually My point is these don't have a purpose. You've just shown how they have a wonderful purpose. There's no point in them. And I've come
Starting point is 00:02:37 to the smart choice to just cut them off. How's the hand done on this one? James is a poundland knight. James is a pound land night. Why does it smell like bacon? Always does, man. Yeah, this house just sounds big. It's the candles. They're bacon-scented. Nice.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Do you know what else it might be? Not your rear. Might be. Well, I guess good afternoon morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Jailcast episode 344. That smells like bacon. I'm your host Alex, joined by Jim and James. Hello. Everyone's here, catchphrases.
Starting point is 00:03:15 I'm James a pound that night. Before we get too deep into this episode, let me shout out the JAR Media Patreon to make the audio version of the show possible, and get their patron names if they're a debut tier or above read out in the first. or second week of each month or the third, depending if Alex or the third or the fourth or the fifth week of each month maybe even the sixth yeah
Starting point is 00:03:37 I'm thinking we got double trouble on the horizon today guys Alex James Alex the man who's just returned from Canada is going to Italy sorry you're doing an Italian accent
Starting point is 00:03:51 that's why I would Hey I'm so sorry yeah Hey I like a bit spaghetti over here You're not going to use for games It's the Rhymes over Italian Oh sorry Yeah you know what I'm saying Going to Italy
Starting point is 00:04:05 So we've got to double up on casts So this one Will be This one will have a housekeeping But the one we do after God knows what's going to happen That's a hot fire chaotic mini gun episode
Starting point is 00:04:17 That one's going to be Like a time capsule I guess It's going to be an episode That's going to be so bad We have to be recorded next week When you're not here I mean who knows that's in the future actually it is determined so exactly exactly you got to watch
Starting point is 00:04:31 devs bro what's devs devs devs i don't know what deb's you just said you got watched debbs bro did i yeah well we'll see about that um devs but devs it's like a it's like a miniseries uh robert garland uh writer director of annihilation oh robert garland yeah it's a sci-fi thing about like an AI system that's so advanced that is able to analyze the past to such a high degree that it can predict the outcomes of the future. That's an interesting setup.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah. I recently watched Annihilation, actually. You watched Annihilation? I did watch Annihilation. Yeah, because I saw you were saying about the Bears or whatever in one of the group chats, but I couldn't see your rating or anything
Starting point is 00:05:15 on the letterbox. It's one that absolutely took me by surprise. It was scary, huh? When I first saw the trailers, I was thought this is like an actual thriller, this is kind of like scary. But I just really didn't expect where it kind of went at the, you know, the latter stages.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Really, I love the idea of it. Visually, it's amazing. The bear is horrifying. Yeah. Absolutely horrifying. Nightmare bear. I do think it's quite good.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I like it a lot. What do you think of the ending? I guess, spoilers for annihilation. Like the dance alien. I just, I still haven't, like, thought about how to take that. Because I guess isn't the thing at the end because she also has the whip
Starting point is 00:05:54 in her eye that she is that just like how um if i remember correctly each one of the characters has like a demise that like matches some kind of something to do of like their self-destruction yeah their self-destruction their mental illness their trauma whatever we're going to put it something like this it's been a while since i've seen it um yeah i i watched it semi recently and i didn't i didn't really get it the first time yeah i think it's kind of need a wee watch Yeah, it's about like the self-destructive Yeah, I watched it two or three times I love, I love, I can't remember her name
Starting point is 00:06:32 The ending That's important No, where she goes off and she becomes a plant Oh, the men and black international woman Yeah, she sucks, but no but I like that That's quite a kind of sweet ending of that weird movie Yeah, really, no, but I found really creeped out by the roots going through her arm
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah, that was just visually like, They're like intestine snake. Yeah. Yeah, that stuff's creepy. Just the, uh, the whole visuals of like the, the plant matter mushroomy, like, fuse to the wall thing. It's like beautiful, but the guy, yeah, the, yeah, freaky. Yeah, really visually interesting film. I did try to watch X Machina.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Awesome film. Really enough, I didn't, I got maybe two minutes in and I was just like, yeah, this has a weird feeling. Not to date. It felt like a Channel 4 movie. Just on the first two minutes. It is a film for a movie. Yeah, it felt like really low budget, but it's clearly not. Most of it is shot in Norway, actually, I think.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Yeah. But I know it's like it's one of those cyberpunk kind of genre movies that is really kind of up there with... Yeah, it's another like AI. What's that AI test? What's that AI test? You know, the thingy test. Yeah, it's a skate man. Dingle test, you know, to test.
Starting point is 00:07:53 test if an AI is the level of consciousness of a human. You know, the dingle test. The rat jazz test. The ratty test. Well, I guess, hmm. Yeah, before we get to some of the topics of the day, we should probably do some housekeeping, how.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Clean up around here, clear up some of those conversations from the previous episodes, some of that messiness, some that disgusting. We can maybe have a new spin on it unless make a lovely little house blend. Ooh, I'd love a house blend. House blend. You know what? Do you know, the quingiest thing the old me used to think
Starting point is 00:08:26 was that my name was crap. I hated my name. I hated the name James House. How? When you're such a New Vegas fan? And New Vegas does play a part in it, but now it's like, House is the fucking coolest and last name ever.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I feel like everyone goes through a phase of not liking their name. Yeah, I went for that pretty bad. Yeah? I... The only phase I went through was being annoyed that my dad's mum's maiden name
Starting point is 00:08:52 didn't get a person to us because that's a cool I'd sound like a villain Yeah Big time Yeah The Vannas The Vannas
Starting point is 00:08:59 Yeah Alexander Vanner It feels It feels like Some villain shit Genuinely It feels It feels like
Starting point is 00:09:07 My maiden name was Devoie So Devoys and Vannas It's like A Vival houses It's like I reckon if you were If you were called Lawrence
Starting point is 00:09:18 Lawrence Vano would be quite a good Lawrence Vano would have rocked Lawrence, Savannah. You would have been... This is what I would put determinism. You would actually be the most chad person in school with that name.
Starting point is 00:09:29 There's no way you wouldn't be popular. I would have somehow been in, like, private school. Yeah. And then had like a hedge fund and shit. Yeah. Yeah. And I'd be like the one who's sweated to that position. The house.
Starting point is 00:09:41 The devoy. Because I'm devoid of emotion. Well, yeah, housekeeping then. Let's do some of these. Like, uh, this comment from... H-G-G-R H-G-E-R-F-G-R-9-6-14 Change your name
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah Thank you for the comment Hey Alex, I've been playing Minecraft While listening to the podcast recently And was wondering If you could play the creeper sound effect At some point In the cast
Starting point is 00:10:08 To give me a heart attack and kill me Tz What is that? But there were a couple good replies to that Normal Mantis says Sometimes I legitimately cannot play Minecraft Because it's so scary why is it so scary I get the shakes
Starting point is 00:10:24 and then they replied after that saying Hera Brian kissed me on the lips He's gonna be kissing somewhere Not my high mouth Shut up This one's a crazy one from Spungo 6179 First started watching the cast when I was 11 And now this is the first episode
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm watching at university Very weird but nice realisation Thanks for being there for me job boys Jesus Right when did When we were, how, we were like 16 when we started? And then we were 18. 11 year old listening to this early cars.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Wee. Wasn't that our target demographic? I mean, he's made at university. He's done better than all of us. Yeah, clearly. Hey, oh yeah, none of us had uni. Shit. Slime Prime 445 says, can Alex go back to Toronto?
Starting point is 00:11:13 We want the James House show. I got 68 likes. What's the James House show? What's that got with you going back to that? Oh, is it because they want. because then there'll be more James there can be more me but there's always the same amount of James
Starting point is 00:11:26 he's on every episode I don't need you being here doesn't take him away no it does the real estate is different there's less bandwidth the more people right yeah I don't just get intimidated by Alex basically
Starting point is 00:11:36 and I feel more free to be horrible to Jamie well actually it's not sure I'm not horrible to you on our cast we're like more romantic yeah more romantic maybe you should both just go away for a bit
Starting point is 00:11:51 and leave me to my little fucking Alex Jones episode JHFB3MP says Imagine an alternative universe where JAR is Canadian and YMS is British I'd love to see you guys do more travel stories and vlogs even boring places are interesting through the lens of someone who knows them well
Starting point is 00:12:08 I would love to do like a vlog thing in Swindon that has to be done No we get assaulted We'll do it in daylight If the sun starts out and we got to run get back to that It's dying light man As soon as he goes dark
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's okay Good night and good luck Do you know I don't I don't even know If this is a car So I've checked But I might have to save this
Starting point is 00:12:36 Basically Mark Coffee Shop Man Said that that That road was shut down Recently Because police found a kid With a knife
Starting point is 00:12:45 Which road The divine road of that street, church street. Really? Yeah. There was four police cars, shit, when he was trying to drive up there because there was a knife on the floor.
Starting point is 00:12:55 They just did a random check on this kid and he had a fucking hunting knife. I've heard about that that's becoming more of a problem around here for whatever reason. Like here, it's shocking, but obviously it's the norm in, like, cities now. Obviously, gun crimes going up and up
Starting point is 00:13:08 in this country as well. Yeah, I guess, yeah. Ignore the youth and give them... What are you supposed to do? In, like, small towns you're, like, 13 years old. um like 1984 control state
Starting point is 00:13:22 like 15 minute cities kind of thing yeah 15 minute cities track is on everything you're not allowed to leave your 15 minute city I guess you got the full guys battle pass yeah just like we we need to every game needs a battle pass you know
Starting point is 00:13:37 well we're pretty much in that reality so do you know I love about this 15 minute city idea if if you made that 15 minute rule for everything I literally wouldn't be able to exist because I wouldn't be able to exist because I wouldn't be able to get anything everything is more than 15 minutes away everything so surely you need it
Starting point is 00:13:54 what do you mean I need it all your stuff would be in the 15 minute city everything you need I'm in the country they're not going to build they'll build a city there 15 minutes they'll build it in 15 minutes they saw it in 15 minutes they build it in 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:14:10 and everything is 15 minutes yeah it's all based around 15 minutes have you actually seen how like actually like mental people i i generally believe that covid has done more damage to people's brain cells yeah everything because there's this this video going around on twitter the moment or maybe it wasn't the the oh no there's this video i just have one there's the thing it's like it's funny to joke about but at a certain point it's like people just actually believe that people do believe it nicky minage will hear me say and do some tweets or whatever you should have seen the size of his balls
Starting point is 00:14:44 because there's this video going around on Twitter moment of a lifeguard looking around and it looks a little bit weird for someone who doesn't know about being a lifeguard and people are like is this a real life AI there's no way this humans will and all she's doing is an Ellis scan
Starting point is 00:14:59 which is a really specific way to look to cover the entirety of a swing pool so you see everything and it's really automated like yeah but it's a technique and people think that means they're real life androids like people are fucking
Starting point is 00:15:15 Ironically, you're more of an AI android if you're buying into the conspiracy theories Yeah, you're actually like You're stupid Dikes conspiracies are at control man Yeah, I never saw this coming Because like it really has gone nuts What's happening? Is he a conspiracy theorist now?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Oh, you, I don't think you've seen it No, not my boy Mario Judah's, he's come back and he's made this post about how the annihilation is a week away and there's a live stream on YouTube about this fucking annihilation and it's to do with this peace treaty being signed of Israel
Starting point is 00:15:50 and suddenly it's literally going to be annihilation and he made this cringy fucking video like this is how to baptize yourself to survive the fucking anatholicors He is called Mario Judah Oh he's prophetic Like he's the second coming But it's got him too
Starting point is 00:16:08 Like all these celebrities are falling for this shit Mario dude is not a celebrity but obviously Nick Emanage is Yeah Kanye West is It's crazy It's over Like human intelligence is gone
Starting point is 00:16:21 Mm-hmm Everyone's conspiracy-minded I mean See this this is This is the thing Like if you have all these These beliefs And the end result is
Starting point is 00:16:34 What Like what are they striving for Why are they doing this People like it Because it makes you feel smart and like you're a part of something that other people aren't. But what I'm saying is what do they think
Starting point is 00:16:48 the powers that be are trying to get us to do? No, they just want to control it. They just control. Power, control. They've already got it. Yeah, they've had it. Yeah, we saw that during COVID, yeah. Yeah, it's like, well, that's already happened, so
Starting point is 00:17:05 like, because that was the thing during COVID was like, oh, the lockdown's never going to end. this is a new way to get rid of cash to, yeah, start the new, the zoning. It's going to turn into hunger games before we know. The whole thing is, it's like
Starting point is 00:17:22 they have this idea that the government want to control us to such an extent where we can't buy anything and we have literally, we are not human, we're just something to go to work. And we're eating mealworms. Yeah, that's what they think's going to happen, but it's just like that's our life really different.
Starting point is 00:17:40 We just get that illusion of choice to go to shops and buy, bottle of beer for the conspiracy we'll go to work yeah for the conspiracies to work there's always the same contradiction though it is simultaneously a government that is like coordinated and organized to a point that they're super yeah globally or globally organized but also at the same time they're criticized for being inept and they don't know what they're doing no but it's not the government's it's this this the man behind of the the lizards yeah it's like of the one percent of the one percent of the
Starting point is 00:18:12 1% The World Economic Forum basically That's it That's their threat Big Farmer Big Farmer Big Farmer Big Farmer made a lot of money
Starting point is 00:18:23 from COVID Yeah but so did people selling masks Yeah Everyone made money from COVID But me I made money from COVID This is a thing
Starting point is 00:18:34 I still went to I worked from home Like why did I Paid to be at home It fucking rocked Yeah like Bring it back Bring it back
Starting point is 00:18:41 all these people saying like this is it forever lockdown for the rest of our lives I'm like please there was something interesting about that wasn't there because people were like at home with their families and like you could see people
Starting point is 00:18:55 walk in the street so it wasn't empty yeah I'd like take the dogs for a walk and it was like booming with people it was crazy yeah you saw more people doing like that I guess one more question
Starting point is 00:19:09 I want to bring up here Well, not question even a comment. From Keen O'K, James is still so funny to me. When Cyberpunk came out and flopped, he said game was way too hyped and made it impossible to live up to expectations. Fast forward to now, he's mega-hyped for the update to Cyberpunk. No, but, no, but I'm not expecting... Cympunk's been fixed and it's here.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So my expectation is there because the game is still there. So if the DLC's shit and is here, the game's still here so it doesn't make the game worse because it's here it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the game was fixed before the latest update
Starting point is 00:19:49 there was still a lot of problems no but the game's here it doesn't matter if it's fixed on it's here this is my point is my point is the expectation for the original game was here and the game launched there so it's okay to say
Starting point is 00:20:03 that people got way too high of expectations it wasn't their fault I know it's misadvertising everything but with this deal my expectations are kind of the same level as the game. So even if the DLC is bad, you still got that game. So I'm not going to be disappointed because it's like that this base game's still been improved.
Starting point is 00:20:20 The new DLC content might be shit, but the base game has just been improved, so it will still be good. Yeah. Like that, my expectation is just more of the game currently. This is the, I guess this is their first release since Cyberpunk, huh? Yeah. So they've got someone to prove, though.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah. Well, there's been good reviews about it. Yeah, so you were saying it's give reviews. I briefly went on it for about half an hour today just to check out the update. And I'm pretty impressed. Really, just for a free update. Yeah, the free update. Do they fix all the wanted system and stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Yeah, there's now like vehicle combat, which should have been in the game at release. Yeah, the whole, like, police things redone. They've changed the way the game feels. Oh, really? Yeah. They've added mechanics. They've taken other mechanics away. They've like, like before, one of my biggest gripes with the combat was that if you just, like, collected healing items, you could just spam them in combat.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Never die. There was nothing to it. But now there's like a cool down. Like you use it and you get a certain amount. Okay. Every fight, basically. Really good idea. Same as the Witcher pretty much.
Starting point is 00:21:34 So they can, yeah, so the difficulty options will actually have more of an impact. Yeah. And then there's the same. skill tree stuff. There's way more hacking than makes sense. Like you can hack cars that are stationary and like make them drive into like people. That is cool. They've reworked all the hacking
Starting point is 00:21:49 and the whole. They've just reworked everything to make the game more complete. That's what's so weird about games now is like me not playing it. If I play it now, it'd be a better game than whatever you guys play it. You made the right call not playing it. If you buy it now and even just play the base game, I think you'll have a great time.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Because the good stuff in the game has always been good this whole time. And it looks and runs better now. It's great. The software like there's the new what's it called the DLSS? Yes which I can't get anyway. Yeah you need like a pretty nutty graphics card to do the
Starting point is 00:22:26 What's that? Dick lick suck suck What is that? Yeah it it's like a way to increase performance without it affecting quality the quality
Starting point is 00:22:42 oh that people are doing that on a steam deck with Starfield they're doing some things so yeah it was a complaint with Starfield that it wasn't in the game already because it's become a standard thing where like you can just get ridiculous performance on the quality you're getting it's a no-brainer
Starting point is 00:23:00 that's cool so for more high MPCs there's more options there and it will run great the game's running best So for me, there's more like focused builds now. Yeah. You can build like a net one with X or...
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yes, it's more like defined. Yeah. Because that's the thing I had in the game because when I was playing, it was just like having taken the base system it's just like, I think handguns are really cool. V has them in all the marketing for it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:30 So V with a pistol's like, that's cool. So it was just like, I wanted to be a pistol, but then it was like in some like fighting cyber psychos, it was like, you want to stun them and suddenly get more of a bonus if you don't kill them because then you rehabilitate them so it was like I didn't want to use a pistol because it was like a damage dealing weapon and it's just I end up basically doing one of everything and I didn't find that satisfying because it was like in every situation I just had I could pull out the really legendary sniper
Starting point is 00:23:56 and just fuck everyone like I wanted a more specific build like you were doing like Vegas yeah and it is far more like that now like before there was basically one of the skill trees was just like all the guns it's like well every gun is in that skill tree so if you want your guns to be good you go to that skill tree now it's like handguns and rifles
Starting point is 00:24:18 are in this bit SMGs and assault rifles in this bit shotguns and LMGs in this bit and like so you can specialize yeah you specialize along and it sort of guides youth into different play styles it's it's just awesome
Starting point is 00:24:33 yeah there's naturally loads you can do with playstiles like deosics you know yeah and there was a really cool perk that I saw that I haven't tried out yet but like just just the name of it got or the description of it got me excited to try it that's rare for like a perk tree they can be so boring huh yeah 10% boost of this that's what it was yeah every single perk was like 10% reload speed for pistols 5% damage for baseball bats like boring yeah but now I'm like going through thinking like I could do a play through and do this and play through and do that you can create the V you
Starting point is 00:25:10 want yeah I'm excited to play it I want to get a new save game prior to Wednesday so I hopefully I can get into Wednesday get into it but I don't know if my PC will play it because apparently it's like actually up the minimum specs so we'll see they're quite hyped the soundtrack for that specific DLC is also very good
Starting point is 00:25:30 very ambiancey I play eventually no you should I feel also the other thing is they're tying it they're doing a lot more e-strokes they've done e-strokes for edge runners it's just like tying in edge runners a bit more which is just nice one of the perks the shotgun perk is just that um that girl Rebecca but you can use two of them yeah I didn't know fucking um breaking bad guy Aaron Paul yeah yeah no breaking bad guy Gus yeah Gus is the voice actor of fucking Faraday in the English devil of edge runners yeah yeah yeah I didn't
Starting point is 00:26:06 realize, oh shit, yeah, yeah. Pretty cool. Kind of nice. Kind of awesome. He's had a booming career off being in Breaking Bad. He has. Not that he wasn't working before Breaking Bad, but it's really... Yeah, his career blew up.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah, he was in a Far Cry. Yeah. He was in Mandalorian? Yeah. Yeah, he's everywhere, that guy. Cool guy. I also love that the meme is just, like, loads of anime fans find him. So pictures of anime people
Starting point is 00:26:38 Cosplaying with him And it's like I wonder if he's getting tired To be in typecast though Yeah Like the boys Oh the boys as well yeah He's in the boys
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah he's in the boys He's in the boys He's just like Gus and everything Yeah Stoic guy Who's intimidating Yeah a guy that can be intimidating And can be nice
Starting point is 00:26:58 Well Before we go to mid break I got some options here, man. I want to save a couple for the other one we've got to do. The annihilation cars. The annihilation episode.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Where we annihilate ourselves. Launching our Bad Dragons collaboration. I'll mention this then, yeah. I watched the Little Mermaid remake reboot, whatever you want to call it. Bro. Bro. We're talking masterpiece?
Starting point is 00:27:34 We're talking masterpiece. Is it that good? It's that good. Yeah. It is awesome. All I've seen was a brief clip of the crab. Oh, it's a scaddle butt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:48 That's the new song. The Aquafina song. You know Aquafina? She's just in everything now. She's very annoying. Wait, is that the YouTuber? No, she's like an actor, I guess. She's just in everything now.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Oh, it's the Scottle butt. It's the scuttle butt. Yeah, because the character is called scuttle. It's a bird. And she's like, oh man, it's, I thought I was going insane during that sequence. She flies into the window to tell there's like some news, the scuttle butt, you know. She sings this whole song and the photo realistic crab is like, what the? It's just really, it's like quite a good horror movie, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yeah. Yeah. bro it's two hours 20 minutes long what you're serious you can almost watch the original twice in that time dude
Starting point is 00:28:44 that is dumb why two hours and 20 minutes to tell a baby story uh huh it's so creepy man Disney are getting out of hand they've been getting out
Starting point is 00:28:57 every single every single one of these live action remakes has the exact same issues they're all too long all of them add they simultaneously rely on the original songs and nostalgia of the original but they also don't get what was good about them so they tinker and change things that kind of
Starting point is 00:29:13 miss the point or like yeah just ruin it just incredibly bad but it was reminded me about how good the original was so I started watching the original Disney Plus didn't have time to finish it first film you ever saw at the cinema but man it's gorgeous
Starting point is 00:29:30 and that music is so good Yeah, it's actually really good And creepiest Like this new one is an unintentional horror movie The original Little Mermaid That's just like a good horror movie Really? Is Ursula that frank? Ursula is, yeah, she's a witch
Starting point is 00:29:47 She's like an underwater witch Who like steals people's souls And puts them in these weird like They look like Rotten twigs kind of with like eyes And they're all like trapped in her cave And they're all like begging to be freed It's like horrifying in the original
Starting point is 00:30:05 They didn't have the balls to like really include that in the new one They like pluck that out yeah But they did have like a whole epic action scene where Ursula She does grow a giant in the original but it's like a big fight scene It's like King Kong getting involved Yeah, King Kong and some Who can we cross over with? Get Godzilla in there You can swim
Starting point is 00:30:27 Oh it's Mothra coming in to fight Ursula Yeah this is an Avengers level threat yeah just crazy I'm glad it like it made money but it didn't at least
Starting point is 00:30:41 it didn't make a billion that's something didn't make no billion little win just you gotta take those small victories you know yeah it's not a victory they made loads of money
Starting point is 00:30:50 they're doing um uh snow white next yeah there's like drama with the woman who's playing snow white yeah
Starting point is 00:30:59 yeah because she's been saying a lot of stuff Who is Snow White? Yeah, I don't know who's playing her, but she's like causing drama. Wait, who's been cast? Rachel Zagler is Snow White. Galgado's the Evil Queen. Ooh, new worst film you've ever seen is dropping.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Oh my God, directed by Mark Webb as well. Who's Mark Webb. He did the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies. Let's go. Oh, this is going to be the worst shit you've ever seen. Aren't these movies great? No. They're the worst by the Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Don't loads of people like them because Spider-man fights like a spider There's going to be some fucking mad porn made of it though What There already is, let's... Yeah, I guess it's another wave Yeah, Shaw's filmmaker kind of Oh, there's... Fuck Disney, man
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah, it's such like pandering bollocks The time to fuck Disney's long past, bro They got Star Wars now Yeah, and they fuck that. Yeah, but at least they haven't bought the rights to good things. Everything they touch. They have bought the rights to good things.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Like, you have to, you can't deny that Marvel, like, pre-Disney Marvel. Which was, which is? Like, the, the brand. Is Sam Ramey, Spider-Man? I mean, that's owned by Sony. saying the brand of Marvel is good and valuable and there is a lot you can do with it and they did do a lot of good with it for a long time you're phase one yeah good Avengers rock phase two yeah Avengers too um the ones after that they were they rocked phase three or
Starting point is 00:32:57 whatever. But then they pooed it. They bought Star Wars. You know, there's been this huge resurgence of prequel love. And I don't think that is only in spite of the sequels. It's because, like, those dumb asses, little babies that watch those shits when they were little kids have grown up and say what you will about those movies, but, like, you can just sit and watch them and have a good time.
Starting point is 00:33:27 some good movies. They're incredible. So all of our intent. George Lucas intended them to be laughing and shit, so therefore they are the best ones. He intended for the kids to be so invested and the adults to be laughing their asses of. I think it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah, there's like a tweet going around right now that like, yeah, the best Disney era Star Wars thing is a online only series prequel series to Rogue One
Starting point is 00:34:00 That's the best piece of Star Wars content right now Yeah And I haven't watched it because They've ruined my investment Oh it rocks man Yeah I believe it is really fucking good It's so good But yeah
Starting point is 00:34:15 What I'm saying is Disney have So much potential But it ain't It ain't about making good stuff That's the thing like in the 90s Disney was kind of awesome
Starting point is 00:34:29 yeah what were they doing in the 90s that was the Renaissance like beauty and the beast like that wasn't the 90s so when was that maybe it was sorry I think I'm getting confused
Starting point is 00:34:43 with Snow White right now I think you might be right no snow white was like way yeah decades decades I think you're right I think yeah you're right Beauty and the Beast Little Mermaid
Starting point is 00:34:52 it kind of ended with poker hunters didn't it You had Tarzan. Tarzan, yeah. Hercules. Yeah, Hercules. The fucking boat one. Yeah, the boat one.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Yeah, Sky Island treasure planet. Great, Treasure Planet? That film's Trash. Which one's Treasure Planet? Is that the guy of the glasses? No, Stats Atlantis. The dog with the glasses. Oh, yeah, Atlantis.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Weird-ass film. Yeah, Treasure Planet's a weird one. Yeah For me Yeah The Pocahontas in there Hunchback Lion King obviously
Starting point is 00:35:31 Yep Moularm rocked Yeah you're right beating the beast What's the other one Aladdin obviously Yeah these are awesome movies What's the other one Atlantis
Starting point is 00:35:40 That's more like 2000s Yeah that's when they started To like drop off They stopped Nah I fucking love that one I fucking love that one Atlantis I loved it as a kid
Starting point is 00:35:52 It was fire Yeah I always remember that line two For flinching yeah remember that Atlantis was the fucking balls I loved that movie I loved Atlantis as well It was the balls
Starting point is 00:36:02 It was the balls And then yeah Treasure Planet and the princess And the frog came along And they never tried it ever again Yeah Because they didn't make money anymore Because Pixar came in
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah I made fucking cars We'll see after these messages Yeah Shirt's available now. Check in the description. Yeah. Imagine being, like, reincarnated, right?
Starting point is 00:36:34 That's JFK. And you wake up... I dodged the bullet, man. And you wake up and you're a rat and just like a bunch of cocaine. And you're like, shit, I won. Well, I would know it's cocaine or wear. You say if you wake up as the rat in, um,
Starting point is 00:36:50 in rat park. Yeah. In the experiment. Yeah. But what if you woke up as the rat and it's like the We're testing the new Poison on you Well you would know you're what
Starting point is 00:37:03 You wouldn't be like oh look It's the new poison you'd just be like food And then you'd die horribly You wouldn't know Yeah And then you'd have a freeze frame and be like This is me I'm being killed by humans for the own game
Starting point is 00:37:19 Welcome to the second half of the cast Where we answered some questions from The JAR Media Subbris head over to the suggestion thread over there and leave questions for future episodes, just like Gabriel Luz God did. Jah, what do you consider the most important episode of the Yogscast, e.g. Episode 1, Smosh Hates Us. For obvious reasons, episode 7, the beginning of Crackhead Alex and the first mention of Pissadic, episode 20. Shave Your Grundle, where they actually started taking the podcast seriously,
Starting point is 00:37:46 episode 42. It didn't take us 42 episodes to take it seriously. Worst Yorgs ever, the peak of the crackhead era, episode 50, you're not the boss of me now the greatest intro in podcasting history episode 179 the first apennase what's i don't know what that word means appanase appanase of randy oh up here oh my god the first apennase of randy episode 196 the normal episode the one hour deconstruction of the society and two three seven chaos energy aka the chaos episode what do you guys consider the most important episode. Normal episode.
Starting point is 00:38:25 It's just a stupid question, man. Yeah, normal episode is the single most important episode, because we peaked. We fucking peaked. I'm just surprised you're agreeing with that. No, it is. That must mean it actually is, because... Or the episode that I came back and made
Starting point is 00:38:39 is you stopped talking about fucking Marvel. You still be in that head, fucking hell-whal, if I didn't come back. We really talked about it today. I know. I wish there was the data on if even Jelian or Marvel has been mentioned more. That's why do you think I mention you?
Starting point is 00:38:52 I reckon that gap is closing if it's not already been surpassed. Yeah, purposely. I don't want the one fit the most... You can't take credit for that. I don't want the most, like, the biggest thing we've talked about in 244 episodes of JAR Media
Starting point is 00:39:07 is for it to be Marvel, because that's cringe. If I mention... The Halo's in there as well. Yeah, but Halo's... Star Wars. Star Wars as well?
Starting point is 00:39:17 Yeah, but it's like, you know, I'm okay with Evangelion or New Vegas, mentioned that much because if you gave some if you gave some like teenage boys a bunch of statistics the marvel fans will be cringe the evangelian new Vegas fans will end up being long-term viewers i'm just going for the white demographic here i think there's someone important about the randy episodes as well yeah randy ruins everything yeah sure but you're right normal normal normal the defining one.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Normal. Green Z draws says Hello Jar, this one is for Alex, eh? I want to ask for advice on capture cards for video game footage. I wish to start video essay type videos and I figured I tried to ask you. Bear Bear and Game On.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Google. Google. Google, which ones are the best capture card from gaming? If you're playing on PC, the Nvidia like... Yeah, that's very good actually.
Starting point is 00:40:21 That's what I normally use. Very easy to use I guess unless you want to do something on a game that's on Switch or something like this It actually depends because your El Gatto I don't think is going to work for PS1 It all depends on what you're really playing I think you can use an El Gato for PS1
Starting point is 00:40:37 But then to be fair If you're playing PS1 you should be playing on a PC You have to have like a SCART setup And what depends on the world I guess you could run it on an emulator Yeah PSX And then record it within video And then don't, if you're going to record a switch, just MLA on PC as well, easier.
Starting point is 00:40:57 But an Al-Gato worked fine for Switch as well. I actually have an Al-Gato card built into my PC, but I haven't had the best experience with it. I've lost some footage using it. So be wary on that one. Yeah. Hmm. I'm not going to do that one.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It's not sucky-bucky. Not again. But a bean, one, two, three says, bore, bore, fingers. This one is for the Beltmans. What is your favorite hot take from James? That's an easy one. I think you're saying that
Starting point is 00:41:30 Cyberpunk's the best game from the past 10 years. In my opinion, no, no, remember, nothing. There's no such thing as subjectivity. No, there's no such thing as objectivity. There's no such thing as objectivity. Yeah, but that's kind of the point of a hot take. Yeah, but all games have been good in last 10 years.
Starting point is 00:41:51 The Witcher came out in the last 10 years. That is leagues, leagues, leagues ahead of... Worst gameplay. RDR2? RDR2? Dark Souls. Wait, no, that wasn't the last 10 years. I wasn't, actually.
Starting point is 00:42:05 What, Dark Souls? It came out in 2011. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't take it anymore. To be fair, I've had worse hot takes than the fucking me being... exaggerative about my love for cyberpunk 2017
Starting point is 00:42:23 The thing is, if I say something pretty normal James will say the opposite So like Would you like Anything I say? That's not an example You gotta be specific here
Starting point is 00:42:37 Like Star Wars is bad Well it is I've been on this That's my hot take I've been on Star Wars being a bit shit for ages Oh my God Oh my God no
Starting point is 00:42:52 like surely my my hottest I always do shit like this surely my hottest take has always been like the the original trilogy is not that great yeah which is dumb
Starting point is 00:43:02 but you're also like Halo was never good no Halo no no Halo 1 2 3 great fantastic okay I've played those games
Starting point is 00:43:13 they were my childhood I know they're good I'm glad you can agree with that um like my My takes aren't that hot. Well, I, no, there is one that, that is, like, anger-induced for you both. What?
Starting point is 00:43:27 It's actually, like, a really stupid opinion. Go on. It's not about games. It's, like, about food or something. I don't know. I'm so used to it. I don't even remember. Yeah, that's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:43:35 That there's, like, there's one that stands out. What? Advertising doesn't work, probably. Yeah, that's the one. Yeah. That's the one. Yeah. That's a banned topic.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Yeah, we're not going over again. Why? That's really the one. You just don't want to admit on bite. Some of your food opinions as well. Like, mash being bad. Like cucumber. Oh no, that's not bad opinion.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I'm just autistic. So I can have a weird thing with textures of food, okay? I'm allowed to. That's fair. Nothing wrong being autistic. It's not my fault going from soft. No, so you'd eat in a lovely, lovely wrap, soft tender chicken
Starting point is 00:44:21 you got some nice of lettuce in there not crunchy lettuce so what would it be then sunny no it's like the ends dry so you've got garlic mow between them
Starting point is 00:44:37 and then you that's a lovely bagu wet pot bagh that's delicious if you put a cucumber that instantly awful. Imagine biting down in that and you get a crunch of a cucumber.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Awful. It's garbage. No, I say this because of the chicken wrap from McDonald's. Has cucumber. Because you don't like cucumber. Because of the texture. It's like you'd like a brick. A brick.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Oh my God. Let's do this one from Revert to Monkey. I like this question. If each of you was Batman, what would your Batman? Mapmobile look like. For example, Jameses might be JTM inspired and Jamie's might be an armoured pisser. Mine would be an electric bicycle. No, mine's just that meme video I've sent you before and it's a Dimo who's an English
Starting point is 00:45:35 YouTuber and it's just him in the car that says the Justice League on the way to a crime scene it's superman flies, the flesh ones, it's just the hymn just going slamming gears and a really shit Honda, like that's it. Just a really low Obnoxious car that's really slow Taking it cringially seriously I'd want a A muscle car
Starting point is 00:45:56 An interceptor Yeah the Mabaptor That is like a Babbabil Yeah but I'd want it like The pattern Styleise like Fucking Like bolted on like
Starting point is 00:46:07 Black Which is like tron Do you know what I mean? You want an XB Falcon That is a bit So would you want a mix of the one from The Batman mixed with
Starting point is 00:46:17 Mad Max, the Interceptor. Yeah. I think the Batman Batmobile is the coolest It's ever been. It's cool. It's cool as far. I don't like
Starting point is 00:46:24 the hyper-futuristic batmobiles. I just think they're so... I don't like the tanky type ones. Yeah. I have to say it. I like the one from the Burton. There is something special about it.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Like, especially in animated form. The sort of hot rod. Yeah. Yeah. The really long, like, with the big...
Starting point is 00:46:43 It's got like a fan thing. It's like a jet engine. Yeah. directly in the middle at the front. Oh, that one, yeah. Like, it's so sick. Yeah. The Batmobile from Arkham Asylum,
Starting point is 00:46:55 the one that you see that's been, like, all trashed. Yeah. Awesome. I'm actually kind of interesting to see what they do with the Batmobile for the next... Yeah, because they've got to change it up.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah, because that represents his, like, angry, his edgy era. Yeah. So it needs to be more refined for the next one to be a bit more... Yeah. How do you feel about the Arkham Knight Batmobile? The look of it.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I don't like it. It's very Nola inspired. Yeah. Yeah. It's cooler, though, than the Tumblr. Mm-hmm. Because you get the driver, you get to nearly kill people with it. You basically, you do, like, you kill people.
Starting point is 00:47:29 You do kill people with it. It's like a fucking 40-hound. It's really cool in the intro when you're, like, holding that guy under it, like, with the wheel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, crushing his head. Torturing people with it. Yeah, it's so sick.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Yeah. Yeah, I kind of, it's like the Tumblr, but kind of. of elongated a bit and like stretched to be more like a car um it is pretty cool to be honest i want meck suit batman i want a batman's batman's batman's just a mek of batman i'm sure there's a comic book to fit you there probably is and it's probably made by the design of evangelicalian um there's still a couple more here if we wrap this one up clean clean 808 says, what are the boys' thoughts on the UK planning to ban disposable vapes? While it's obviously good to stop children from becoming addicted to vapes,
Starting point is 00:48:22 I don't think it would do much to stop the sale of disposable vapes to children, and may encourage illegal unregulated vapes to be sold behind the laws back. They took to them. They did take too long. They should have stopped it the week after, because now there's a market. Banning something just, yeah, it just makes the market more volatile and dangerous. And all the 13 yards are addicted now too, so it's like, what? Yeah, I just go to SIGs now.
Starting point is 00:48:46 But I think, yeah, the, I don't think there's going to be like an underground disposable vape market. There'll probably just be like a website. They're going to go to non-disposable ones. Yeah. I've already seen this. Like, I was walking home from work the other day.
Starting point is 00:49:03 And I saw this kid. Like, just into secondary school, must have been. Walking their dog. And stopped, like, on the park. path where there was a low wall where they could put their vape stuff and like juice up yeah juiceing up on the side
Starting point is 00:49:23 of the road juicy drop up because obviously like they don't want to do it at home because parents are going to see them juicing up yeah you know so they were juicing up out in the streets like a little crack addict I'm very thankful that like we like just were in that
Starting point is 00:49:39 perfect like sag where it's like cigarettes weren't really that cool anymore there was no option to vape, so it wasn't really about that. Yeah, because if we were little kids with the berry blast, like ice spice vapes and stuff, we would absolutely blast that shit down my
Starting point is 00:49:55 life. Every orifice. My lungs would only be microplastics. That's it's all they be. Yeah, we'd be juicing up on the daily. No, because it's like they taste nice. Yeah. But it's not like people don't want it because it's vaping. It's just
Starting point is 00:50:11 like it's a tasty treat. It is a tasty treat. And it satiates hunger. Yeah, you get a nicotine high. Yeah, you get a little bit, ooh. It's over. Like, we were the, we were the last of the pure, not saying that. The final purity.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Yeah, we, like, imagine being in school now where you've got access to TikTok, man. Like, fuck that. We miss that. We miss social media in school. We missed that social media, like weird Facebook. Yeah, but you'd have to go home to look at it. Yeah. And it's like, that kind of loses its impact when you have to go home.
Starting point is 00:50:45 on your PC and check Facebook Yeah Yeah We didn't have no 5G Are a change N There's this video
Starting point is 00:50:56 Going around At the moment It's like a A GTA Mod Where it's like Pepe the Frog The Hulk
Starting point is 00:51:06 Marshmallow Like all these recognisable things On a slide On a slide Oh and it's just like Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:51:14 And they were like going on a slide And the tweet's just like This is what your like Eight year old cousin is watching Four hours a day And that's like That's considerably nice And than what I was watching four hours a day
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah I guess that was after yeah We had wild west internet We had like We had people watching Gore in the library Like I mean that definitely still happens No but now you just go on Twitter for
Starting point is 00:51:40 I think it's harder to find It's not on Twitter I think it's It's still as accessible, but the desire for it is less. Yeah, because you've dopamine out of your face. It was genuinely everywhere
Starting point is 00:51:52 around that time. There were like whole subreddit's dedicated to it, there were websites dedicated to it, which are now gone and banned. I managed to avoid most of it, apart from the screwdriver in the cock. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Everyone saw two girls, one cup. Two girls one cup. That two girls one cup
Starting point is 00:52:08 wasn't even that bad thing about it. It wasn't gore. No, it was just a bit, it was just poo. It wasn't real poo. it was at the beginning it was but then it wasn't real poo maybe it was fake I can't remember it perfect I don't know it was like ice cream in the bowed into the cup
Starting point is 00:52:22 yeah it wasn't real it was just some weird Brazilian video what about the guy fucking his own house that was a classic what you know I remember I remember watching it with you people keep telling me to go fuck this so I did
Starting point is 00:52:35 that's just funny like if you if you were able to do that you're morally obligated to do that thing for all of humanity I do like that there's like for some reason there's a resurgence of the
Starting point is 00:52:53 the glass video there's so many references now like we've been meme culture like it's a glass on the floor and everyone's like yeah that's a bad one that's a bad or yeah
Starting point is 00:53:03 I watched like three seconds of that and I was out we watched that a fucking what burtow party when we're sleeping around women yeah that's when we watch that video And I was like, I'm going to choose to look at the wall. Yeah, I'm going to play Halo Reach instead. Yeah, that sucked.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Yeah. That was funny. So, yeah, I don't know. Maybe the GTA mods is preferable. Yeah, no, it is. It's pretty innocent. If it means you're not ended up on 4chan, on the 4chan anime board, watch your fucking...
Starting point is 00:53:33 No, because, like, ragdoll is funny. Yeah. It's just like ragdolling physics, just like colliding. Which is the funniest thing ever. It's why we played Red Dead One? Mm-hmm. Because it was funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:43 with the sound every time they hit into something they go like and all this yeah it's funny God I still remember that fucking that one that one in a trillion
Starting point is 00:53:54 where dead glitch we heard where we wagged out and got stuck in waggdow on the floor we fell off a wagon like any any ordinary people were just like quit we sat there for like an hour
Starting point is 00:54:07 the game glitched we fell off a wagon I went too fast found a corner and it tipped for some reason it glitched Nick Wagdold. Our characters ragdold onto like some ice and then were just laying there for like an hour. It didn't work.
Starting point is 00:54:19 A shit, an hour. Yeah, just lying down. And we were the sat there for an hour. Just like laughing. Finding it so funny. It was so confused and. No, I've been, I reckon the, that Xbox 360 era was like, being there for that was like actually incredible. It was, it was great, something that can never be had again.
Starting point is 00:54:39 No, I miss God. It was perfect. Do you know what, if heaven's real, man, it's such, it's just that, it's just every day. It's Xbox Live back in the day. It had everything. It had everything. It had trolling through messages. It had humor. It had glitches and brokenness.
Starting point is 00:54:58 No, like my... It had just epic moments. Goatsies. Yeah, but Goaties. That's the first goatsie I've seen. Yeah. The Kinect Goatsy. The Kinect Goatzee.
Starting point is 00:55:11 The Xbox Connect. O-G-connected. I don't even think that was an actual connect Goatsey. I think that was just a Goatsey image of Google. Yeah, definitely was. There's no way that guy... Actually, go see him. My recommended on YouTube at the moment is, like,
Starting point is 00:55:27 audio messages that people have sent on that. Oh my God, they're so funny. Look at this one. This is an awesome one. Hey, you're just mad because I'll be able to do something with my fucking guitar in hands that you'll never be able to achieve in your intention.
Starting point is 00:55:43 entire life kid. So yeah, you're gay. Yeah, but... So fucking fun. Oh, God. Unthe-field did cringe. When people didn't realize
Starting point is 00:55:59 how cringy they were, and they just let that shit whip at anyone. But like, like, you'd just join a Halo lobby. And people would be like, argue. They'd be deep in some, like, crazy discussion about... Yeah,
Starting point is 00:56:12 Cod as well. Cod was the same. It's like you go online to have war. Cod was the true battleground. Cobb was a bit more aggressive, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those were brutal days.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Oh, they were. And I was also, the thing is, the 1-1-Feditary thing is if it's like, you can approach those lobbies like a few different ways, right? But if you can just be like, ha-ha, this guy's really stupid and you're like laughing at them being edgy and shit. But when you're like, when you bite back at them and you're the best player in the match, It's just like, that adds another layer because you can fuck them. Because they get pissed off and they'll scream it into the mic.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Yeah. And it would always become these like nationalistic debates. It always goes down to nationality. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because there were these two American guys that we often talk to. Yeah, that's right. It was just like these random people from around the world.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I think met through like Battlefield 3 or something. Yeah, I know the ones. And then it would just turn into them like shitting on England. And then it was like, okay, England's shit, but you like you live in America. Yeah. Then the back and forth starts. And then someone from Europe joins and everyone just jumps down their throat.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. And now since... Some French guy. Get out of here. No, but since I voice chat's gone, it's just like, we've left the Europeans unbullied online and now they're just purves in online. It's like, we need to go and bully them again.
Starting point is 00:57:33 But that was, that is, I don't think people who were born after the Halo craze really get it. But there was something like genuinely pure about the way people were connecting over that like when we first went on xbox live i don't know if you remember it yeah this random dude who's just like i've got to show you these custom games bro and it's just like pure excitement for the game and sharing and like these random people that like i'd play helo wars online and yeah we'd just like play regularly like each day and yeah just like make
Starting point is 00:58:04 these brief like connections with just these random people across the world that was like the heart of it. And now it's like, I'm too fucking shy to talking game shirt. Because everyone's like an actual dickhead now. Everyone just doesn't care and they're just, whole.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yeah, because like... School-based matchmaking. And the, the... What's it called? Like, what Fortnite is, what Apex is? Battle Royals, yeah. People are...
Starting point is 00:58:29 First of all, Battle Royals don't want that much communication between people. It's weird that Call of Duty actually allowed the most. That's the best. thing about Warzone 2. It's like you kill someone, you get old school
Starting point is 00:58:42 we're like... Proximity chat. You got proximity chat. Proximity chat is an awesome future. Yeah, and it's really funny. And like when I see clips of it, it's like, man, I kind of want to download that terrible game again. No, proximity. No, just, just chat. God, are so genius in having the game chat after you kill someone. Like, that is so
Starting point is 00:59:00 like a really weird choice. It's just like perfect. I miss that. Yeah. It's just when you get a kill and a wheelie shit, kill and you hear the person like foe their fucking control room. That's just like really good dopamine. Like I get annoyed when people like get too attached to nostalgia stuff but I have
Starting point is 00:59:18 genuine nostalgia for that. Oh my God, yeah. It's sad though. It's just sad. I'm like, those are the days. But you have to look at it a different way. We're like, you've got to be happy that you've got to experience. Yeah, I'm so, I'm so happy, man. But there are snippets of it still in certain communities.
Starting point is 00:59:34 And honestly, like, nine times out of ten, Apex, horrible. The people you interact are horrible. Terrible people. Funny. There's some really funny moments with that. Alex and I were playing like a month back and we had this American guy but this dude was chill as hell and he was like awesome. Yeah. Just even though we're in a Discord call so like we can't talk to him. Yeah. Yeah, Discord kind of ruined it a little bit. Yeah, but using like the typing and stuff like in chat, yeah. Getting that interaction, you still
Starting point is 01:00:08 get a little bit of it it's just not the same and that's that's one of the things i'll give destiny a little bit um it has like this really tight-knit community and i had this experience a few months ago where i was just like in the tower in destiny some random dude recognized me from the videos and he's just like he just like takes me through some stuff and he's just chill and he's yeah just helping me out and it was like a little taster of like that old halo 3 type, community type thing. This is like, this is what keeps people in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:44 This is why it has this passionate kind of fan base. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, that was nostalgic. But let's end on this one then from Orktooth. The UK government quietly pushed a new online safety bill to the final stages this week. And it looks like it will mostly be targeting porn. I'm cautiously being optimistic that it's an honest attempt to curb gooning.
Starting point is 01:01:08 by making it as inconvenient as possible for minors and young people to access porn. Is this the porn license? This is the porn license. That's likely for them to start up the habit in the first place. As James has brought up on the jar-class before gooning and goon culture, it's a very serious issue that is damaging the people's mental health. I say cautiously because this is our government we're talking about, plus the fact that they pass this so quietly is making me worry a bit about the ulterior motives they might have for the online freedom of the British public.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Okay, no, that's a conspiracy. Shut up. Don't fall in the conspiracy goonhole. I've heard nothing about this I've no idea Is it the porn licence They're bringing it back I don't know Because that was a Theresa May thing Right
Starting point is 01:01:43 Like she was trying to They were trying to filter something Yeah A while ago To do with pornography I think it's complicated Porn Honestly if there's stuff
Starting point is 01:01:57 That only targets porn Well I googled British Porn And I didn't get any news results I just got porn What a shocker Yeah I'm all for Like heavy regulation on porn. How do you
Starting point is 01:02:09 do it though? Without you having some kind of like online profile that's linked to your actual age and your actual person? No, like the accessibility of porn. But you think it should be like behind paywalls?
Starting point is 01:02:25 It should be behind... Maybe. More like an only fans type model where you have to pay. Yeah, and maybe tax the fuck out of it. Like it's too widespread though but like I'm nearly at the point where I'm going to delete Twitter because
Starting point is 01:02:43 you get a lot of my algorithm it's like just only fans girls basically it's just like all porn shit you get some engagement that's the thing people just love fucking porn and I think that needs to be regulated I think there's a duty for Instagram
Starting point is 01:02:59 Facebook Twitter all of them TikTok to like monitor this shit like hardcore it's endemic to advertising though but it's like baked in sex cells yeah yeah it does but what what sex used to be was like an ankle in like sex cells like an ankle like a fucking Coca-Cola advert and a pretty girl now it's like everything it's flesh it's flesh central over on TikTok and shit not really
Starting point is 01:03:35 yeah kind of I don't know man I know it's supposed to like tailor your algorithm based on what you're looking at but like I'm not even like search I'm genuinely not searching that stuff out on Twitter I'm not either
Starting point is 01:03:50 but the way it like promotes and they're like reply stuff it's almost like the reply girls from back in the day like there's always like something no that's the thing it's the whole thing that all of these gimmick accounts that all the content
Starting point is 01:04:04 they'll post memes they're all fake because they're just a way for only fans girls that get advertised yeah and they're being paid to do this every single thing the the fucking marketing for these only fan girls is actually fucking astounding the way they're fucking doing shit to advertise their only fans
Starting point is 01:04:19 is like this is fucking next level why how it's fucking crazy is actually getting really bad for the engagement bait stuff yes oh my god because the amount of accounts they just post like what's a blank that made you think blank and they just have like a picture like
Starting point is 01:04:33 that's just designed to piss you off so you reply to it yeah yeah my no my Instagram's a problem my Instagram is just fucked I don't know why it's like I've seen nice
Starting point is 01:04:44 like 240 SX or S14 scroll down and there's just just peat foot porn that's like under the car stuff and I'm clicking the car stuff to look at cool cars show me the cars not the feet my Instagram is just like pigs being fed
Starting point is 01:04:57 and screaming with spines and shit yeah But I never leave this through. That's ideal, but yeah, it's... I think it genuinely is really harmful to young people. Mm-hmm. And not just young people. Like, we've reached a point where gooning exists.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Yeah. That's sad. Well, no, but there always was gooning because there was a dirty porn mag in the woods. That was gooning. But now it wasn't this level, bro. It wasn't, it wasn't a community. That was a cheeky wang.
Starting point is 01:05:31 We don't know. It was limited. It was so limited. No, but they might be... You couldn't doomscroll. Yeah, and there wasn't the... It was limited to the pages of the magazine. The constant new, like...
Starting point is 01:05:41 Just content. Yeah, of porn. Of porn. They're like, there's this kind of porn, then this kind of porn, then this kind of porn. And then you're fucking doomed on it. Bro, bro, bro, bro. Do you remember... It must have been 2020, right?
Starting point is 01:05:55 We were, like, joking about... Slash Goon Caves and stuff. And they had, what, 8K members? Yeah. Goon Caves now has 52. k members, but now there's a new one, r slash gooned, 1.2 million members. Goonet Hub, 168,000 members. This is the idea that... Gooners Paradise, 65K members.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Gooning's not male-specific. That's crazy, man. Goonet, yeah, but who's, who is going on that? Well, goonet. To access the goonets. Goon Budds, Goon Paradise. Well, surely this is just a whole new thing. It's just like, you're not, man, you're not anything.
Starting point is 01:06:30 You're a goonet. your sexuality and your gender is goon yeah and it's my god some of the goon P-I-B-D porn-induced brain damage jerk buds hentai goon shelter edging talk censored for betas
Starting point is 01:06:49 goon stories jerk off the anime goon princess goon king gone guna girls jerk on it's laugh Goon-on, gooners paradise, sniper wolf goon, goon galaxy, edged together, and these are all like, like, edge together has 80K members, goon fuel, sissy goond, uh, goon feed caps, tune gooning, goon to that, gooned captions, goon porn addict, goon fuel, goon zone, goonet training, Guna worship service, gune col, vape porn. Goon Palace, Chastody Goon.
Starting point is 01:07:36 It's like, it's like, times 10, times 10 by the year. What's it going to look like in like 10 years? It's because of like, it's going to be most VR goon. That's the next one is the VR goon. Yeah, that's, that is crazy. When, when VR gets, like, when every household just has VR headsets, like, when you just sit down. Everyone has a groomer of this part of a future.
Starting point is 01:08:00 If every member of the family, like, theoretically, right, VR becomes as accessible and stuff and, like, affordable. Yeah. There'll be, like, multiple per house. Yeah, everyone knows. It'd just be cyberpont where they just go sit down. It's instantly there. Yeah, like, plug it in and then, like...
Starting point is 01:08:18 No, because it's not... At one point, it won't even be using glasses. We'll just plug a plug into our actual skull. It's just like, we don't see anymore. We're just getting it. Yeah. But I think, like, the... Ghost-
Starting point is 01:08:27 Goon in the... Goon in the shell. Goon in the shell. Goon in the shell. But I think, like, a lot of cyberpunk, including 2017. Yeah, no, it's... It exists in those worlds, but I think, in reality, it will be to a more extreme degree. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Because, like, obviously, in 277 there is that, like, strip club you go to, Moxies. But it's like a go-thing thing. You just buy a wotting brain dancers. You're just gooning. This is a gooon fucking shop. Yeah, it's just porn that you're bad. You go anywhere in that world in this brain dance shop. They're just porn shops.
Starting point is 01:09:04 But you're gooning. I found it creepy enough like, when I was in Toronto, right, there was one hooters there. We kept walking past it because it was quite central. And I'd look in and see who's in there. Gooners. It's like kind of like old school goonin. Yeah, because they don't know how to use the internet. So they would go to the hooters.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Yeah. Creepy as fuck idea. It's how, I fucking despise you as man. that you don't have to there's no like social embarrassment there's no yeah there's nothing there's no barrier
Starting point is 01:09:37 there's nothing stop there's nothing in the way to make you think oh this is kind of like really embarrassing there's nothing stopping you yeah it's pure hedonism yeah but not in the kind of not in the sick way yeah not in the shit way
Starting point is 01:09:52 it's the shithead in the sad line that what I just that is sickening it It's fucking gross, man That is vile And I think this is a result Of a generation of people Who have grown up With like just sex
Starting point is 01:10:04 Being forced down their throats Mm-hmm You know Yeah What's that name of gun Goon and Gongo Goon gong goon gong goon What is that even mean?

Starting point is 01:11:31 Yeah. I do love the ars, because they still refer to himself as gooners, and it's just like, you don't know. It's probably going to reach a point where it's like, we have to actually change what we're called. Gungons. That's less embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Yeah, it genuinely is. Because these old guys would walk on and be like, are you gooner? And they'll say it's like one kid one day, and he's an actual gooner. I'm a gooner I love gooning No fortnight man
Starting point is 01:11:58 There's going to be like There's going to be a VR goon room In a custom made Fortnite Wait shall I end on that Shall I search If there's like Fortnite gooning Right
