Good afternoon morning, evening or night, ladies and gents, and welcome to Corncast number 37. I'm your host Alex, joined as always by James, aka the Rick and Morty Follower. Good afternoon, morning and night, I am the Wiccan Mortyfowler. We've got Jim, or as some like to call him, Beast. Good afternoon, morning, evening. Or night, ladies and gentlemen, I am Beast. And Rubin, aka the Halo follower. The one and only.

Good afternoon, morning, evening, and night. I am the Halo follower. The only one, no others exist. The only one, no others exist. Sorry, that's my full title. Before we get too deep into the show, want to shout out the Jail Media Patreon. If you head over there, take a look at the perks.

You can make the audio version of the show possible and get your name read out in the first week of each month. JAR Media Follower The official JAR Media follower So we have We have a comment Crucible to slide on over to I just want to check in on the

How are we feeling on the name? We still I like this one Are we settling into comment crucible? How do we feel every time? Yeah we can vote Yeah This is a democracy

All in favour of going back to comment barrel Say I i i i wrong all in favour of coming crucible say i

i i looks like we're at stand still i invented both of these names and i'll be down if i'm going to let the shit it's what it prevail

no i guess it's down to the jar fans because it's even it's just got to be common If you want The crucible barrel The crucible barrel's good As you just call it the crucible barrel

Yeah So obviously a big point of contention Last episode was about How the Jail Media subreddit moved to R slash FNAF Luckily we're back to the JAR Media subreddit proper but that was decided on a on a vote that was held on the FNAF subreddit

and it was only moved back to JAR Media because of a vote which it won by one vote so it moved back to JARMedia so you don't need to go over to FNAF anymore unless you're a fan of FNAF and you want to post some Five Night at Freddy's fan art or whatever show a lot of confused FNAF fans were getting mixed up so

don't worry the confusion should be over now Adam Exchanger 1 is a question for James Hearing the James's starting Jojo is a surprise to be sure But a welcome one as both a Jojo fan and a Joling I would certainly like to hear about James's Jojo journey How much have you seen so far I'm currently on episode I've just finished episode 16 of the first season

because the two first seasons were on Netflix just really, really good. Oh, really cool. When I play with Jim Rubin after work, I always say, oh, I got to this part on Jojo, and like I fucking love it. Jojo's great.

It's fucking dumb and stupid, but it's really good. It's really fun. I like it. It's enjoyable. Has it got a good sense of humor then? Yeah. I've laughed at a few bits

The style Like the best thing about it is the actual It's visual style It's so stylistic Like watching because of that alone But the first nine episodes aren't that great But they have to set it up I get that but they're just quite slow

But as soon as you get into like the episode 10 It's like Woo It's great I might give it a try if it's on Netflix Like the main reason I just don't bother With some of these shows It's just access

And I don't want to jump around all the anime subscription sites like I'd say Jojo's definitely one to watch because it's just pretty and that's a quite a big thing for me at least with anime is you want it to be good looking so yeah I'll I'll update because I just want to get it all done before the new one comes out like ideally hopefully oh really when's the new one coming I don't know I think it's next year but okay you got some time then with my schedule of watching things that's like that's no time at all but we'll see

but I kind of wish people talked about it more because I didn't know it was basically just Indiana Jones like really yeah I all I know is just like the meme kind of

response to it there's vampires there's some Nazis and there's like Indiana Jones vibes it's a fucking mess and I love it but I do get why people like it and why so many people

like constantly talk about it or reference it epic the the senid left one for us one of the many comments about personal fecal stories just thought I'd add on to the

fecal freaks conversation from corncast 36 in my grammar school's GCSE student building only mentioning it's a grammar school because it proves the education system is a lie there was an incident where wherein the boys' toilets had a consistent shit smell for a whole morning, only for it to be revealed that someone had smeared shit on the walls. He was known as the Pooh Bandit.

This happened routinely for the next few months and was still ongoing at the start of exam season. This also coincided with all the water systems getting infected with Lesionella. So the whole school was a walking biohazard. The most popular theory was that multiple people would go down and do the deed midway through class as opposed to just one poo bandit. Obviously not a question, just thought it has an important tale. Humans are gross man. There's always a poo bandit.

No, no, yeah. Every school is a poo band. Yeah. It's not just schools either, workplaces, penitentiaries. There's always... The worst poo bat, poo band that I've had at my work was... I live, my company, it's quite modern, and we have this whole, like, new, like, one-year-old building that's super high tech and everything. And the toilets, they kind of break a lot.

and someone will just go in when the toilet's broken and will just fucking shit fucking lumps in the toilet that can't flush so obviously you walk in there and it's just fucking gross

and I've noticed doing the shit challenge yeah I in my last job I did like so fucking bad because it wasn't one person this this building was like

20 years old and you'd spoil spiders a fool on you join you work while you work it had it had like a public toilet like downstairs I'd always been there but do you mean spiders fall on you as you work yeah like you know in like you know in school there those those boards yeah just ceiling tiles yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah spiders would just fall out of it constantly so fucking fuck that I couldn't work based on that I could just say around where

the desk was you could see the the color of the carpet because it hadn't been cleaned in so long it was like a deep brown and it was like a blue carpet it was just everything about that job but shit but no but the toilets in this job broke once and because it's all like trucker men they all just shat in the same toilet that was broken so the poo is fucking obscene you couldn't like you would walk in there and i've never been more horrified What's the highest you ever saw it? Almost to the whim. But no, this is the same job where I would I'd purpose, I had poo anxiety because it was a tiny room, so I wouldn't poo unless I was by myself. So I had a lot of going in and outs by people, and this is where

the original, like, men don't wash their hands come from. Because they'd go into the shit toilet that's broken, do a massive shit, wipe, and then just walk out. Oh my God. That's where that came from. That's why men just don't wash their hands. After going to the block shit toilet.

After adding to the file. It's fucking swim. Petey Elite has one for us. Are you aware of the Australian drink known as Goon? It's basically really cheap wine that comes in a foil bag, although we call it a sack that is consumed

mostly by broke uni students and high schoolers. You can get five litres. for about $13 and it's known to give some of the worst hangovers at what time. I actually do recognize the name. I feel like I've heard of that before. Is it just in a like a silver bag? Yeah. They call it a sack though.

A goon sack, yeah. The goon sack, they suck down a goon sack. Oh my God. That's fucking grim. Do they like hang it on the washing line and just suck out the goon bag? Well, it's like the equivalent here, I guess, like, saying to his basic cider or something. Well, you can get wine bags. I mean, they're a thing here.

But wine bags can just be, like, just nice. They're just fine. Yeah, so I'm like, I don't think the goon bag is that bad. Like, it's wine. It can't be that bad. Well, he said it's a cheap, or $13, yeah. So it might not actually be wine. I think someone's going to have to send us a goon bag.

We need to try this. Basically, goon is a general name for a cask wine or boxed wine. It's just wine? I guess you can get good goons and bad goons. That's true. Like most things in life. Let's do some topics. I've got a couple.

The first one is an important one though that's affecting what's huge news for the UK, if not the whole world, to be honest. that being um well actually shorn athen zero two one can uh can get this topic started i understand this next while will be hard for you alex as yahoo announced that yahoo answers is being shut down so many memories just know the jar community you hear for you in this challenging time so yahoo answers is dead everyone they've done pulled the blow wait it's officially dead yep it's on early may is going to be its final date so everyone get their accounts in ask as many

questions as you can because it's the only chance you're gonna get do you feel I mean you you were the closest to yeah who answers that looks have you been sort of taking a trip down memory lane as it were I've been just reminiscing and getting upset that I don't have access to the old account because i think i was banned um or i don't know i don't know how to access my like 10 plus year old yahoo answers account or yahoo account it's probably been like deactivated by now yeah a novel idea an incredible social media platform that's inspired a lot of change in the world um i know just hundreds of thousands of people were just devastated by this news and nothing else

of relevance has happened lately it's the biggest fucking death I've heard of in a long time yeah easily yeah definitely I did see lots of there was there was an outpour of sadness on Twitter actually yeah I did see because I follow some of the yeah he answers like text accounts where they just it's just like shit that's on yeah to be honest it's not a topic I want to revel in for long so if you're like just wallowing in the sadness is just antithetical to jar it's the worst thing you can do it's the worst thing you can do yeah exactly um so in other news um my other topic is i i've finished half-life alex i did it i've played a vr game now and i have some i have some thoughts that i

think anyone the any other person here who's played it is jim um so he's the only one who i guess who knows what I'm even talking about. A big exclusion of brown people from conversations. Yeah. Yeah. So I borrowed Jim's Oculus Rift. Because I don't know, I'd never really bought into the VR hype, mostly

because I've been put off by the huge barrier to entry. Yeah, and my mind still isn't changed on that. I think I think the technology is like the natural evolution of what games are they going for and what certain games are going for, especially what Valve is going for. But yeah, the barrier to entry and just like, you've got to have a huge space, you've got to have a PC that can run it.

And even when you do have a PC that can run it, like with half like Alex, it's so punishing in ways it's not even, that aren't even intended just because the loading times are so long. So if you're like going through a new segment of the game, learning a new mechanic, and you're like keep done. It's like such a long loading screen every time, but I had a really good time overall. I've never actually played any of the Half-Life games, like the original. Well, I played Black Mesa, like, mod remake thing, because that was free on PC, but I only watched Jim play parts of Half-Life 2. So it was interesting from that perspective, like not being invested in the world that much,

but remembering all the bits of seeing Jim play it and, like, establishing all. the gamey stuff and just going back to the that valve way of making games they are I think they might be like just the coolest developers to me they're the most like pure just that it's all about the design like what other company would release a VR game with like their biggest IP and like strand it on there just purely because they can and they're able to do that and they don't have to worry about making them a like broad marketable product but yeah I really enjoyed it I did have some frustrations with the controls, but I didn't know how much that was because, like, it's so finicky with the sensors and shit, and you've got to, like, really accurately, like, plot out a space for you to play in, and it's definitely a weird experience, but I think it was a good first game to jump into, and, yeah, I rate it, but I don't know where to go from here, you know? I'm not going to go out and tell people to, like, rush out and buy a VR headset.

I think, like, in 10 years, maybe this stuff's going to be a bit better when the technology is slightly better, but it's definitely very impressive. Yeah, I think if there were more games of that tier, you know, the quality of Half-Life Alex, for the average person buying VR wouldn't be such a risk. yeah and was it made in source um source too because it's it looks just ridiculous the fidelity and the lighting of everything and the animation quality and you know it's just the way like Halflife does the storytelling where they don't they tend not to interrupt you you can kind of explore an environment and the stories more naturally kind of yeah which works so much better in a VR setting because in in

like Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 1 once every bit of dialogue, every cut scene that isn't a cutscene, you're just like jumping around, picking up shit and smacking the NPCs and like all-holds and stuff. In Half-Life Alex,

every single location just has so much you can look at. It feels sort of natural the way you're like walking around the room picking up something that intrigues you looking at it. While listening to the things that are being said, you can look up at them with the... And then smash the thing that's in your hands to pieces. Yeah, like you can pick up a bottle, smash it on their head. Just, yeah, just like picking up crates and then using gravity to smash it into the ground and get what was inside the crate.

The sandbox is so much fun. It's, you could just tinker in it. And I did. I wasted hours just like throwing things around and just seeing what you could do in the environment. but there were a couple of things I wasn't expecting to be like to come up for me where like I don't know how you feel about this gym but the writing wasn't like portal tier to me there are a couple times where the dialogue like piss me off

mainly there's like a reference to my name is Jeff which I found so fucking weird in like a half-life game um did you notice that no um was it to do with yeah there's a chapter called jeff

yeah there's a specifically a line of dialogue I don't know if that's me just inferring it because of the meme shit I know but it seemed like a direct reference to it to me but do you remember the actual line um not off I didn't know it down

do you remember it no i like whatever this is just flew over my head and the only other major thing was i had like a terrible experience with glitches to the point where i nearly gave up playing it um i got to chapter three i got a game loading bug where a trigger just wasn't activating and the environment was broken so I was trapped and I loaded all the auto saves and all the previous saves I'd made and just that save was fucked so I had to restart the chapter in a new save slot which meant luckily I didn't have to restart the whole game again but I had to restart a new save which had none of my like progress and that's just not what you want to be doing at the start

of a game and not just that but there was like other points where like the ladder mechanic was just busted for me a couple ladders which were key to going through the environment because the way like the game is designed as they don't have like markers pointing you in directions where to go it's all the what do they call it um blanking on the term in game design where the signposting they call it where it's like natural like you know you're guiding the player through the design of the environment and like where you place lights and stuff and what you highlight and it's really good and really obvious but it is such a mind-fuck when you see something in the

environment that looks like it's telling you where to go but you go up to it and there's like a ladder and you try and interact with it but it won't do anything so then you think oh okay I guess that's not the way because it's not working but then you walk around the environment for like 30 minutes can't find anything pause it and then go look up a guide and then see in the YouTube video that that ladder was like where you're supposed to go so you just wasted a bunch of time I had that happen enough times for it to be notable and really annoying for me and I don't know if that's just because of my PC or what but I don't know if that level of like glitchiness and like bugs was it was the main thing that was pissing me off and like making me feel like I was wasting my time but I probably wasted a good two three hours of my total game time just on shit breaking and having to reload and stuff just not working and

And I don't know. I don't know if that's good enough. It's really irritating. It sounds weird because I had nothing like that at all. Yeah, it's a frustrating thing about PC game, like just talking about PC games where everyone's like running on a different combination of hardware. So it could be just some stupid thing I've done.

It could be, you know, it could be just so many different variables as to why I got the weird bugs I did but like when you search up the game if you search like Half Life Chapter 4 the auto fill is normally then bug so

I don't know how busted it is in terms of that stuff but that really piss me off and there's like nothing worse when you're playing a game and you've got to like restart it because of something just being punished for stuff you don't feel like is your fault like when you're ahead of the game and you're being punished for it

because I was exploring environments and before doing story beats and it was like, oh, you need a battery now. But then with a place where the battery was supposed to spawn, just nothing spawned. And I had to reload the save after searching around the map for 15 minutes. Just loads of little nitpicky stuff like that. But overall, I definitely liked it more than I didn't.

It's even weirder, though, because I've played through the majority of the game at least, like three times. Mm-hmm. And I've never experienced any of that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I can only talk about what I experienced. Yeah, yeah. When it was working and it was all like tipped up, I was having a great time.

How easy did you find it to get used to VR? Did you find yourself getting dizzy or anything? When I first started using it, I was getting like intense fatigue, like in my eyes. Yeah. But I think that's because I was like playing in the evening. On other days, I was like playing in the morning when I was kind of fresh and less bogged down but I got used to it after a while but the learning curve is high getting used to all the like cables hanging around and not tripping over them and stuff is weird

but yeah you've sort of got to learn to never actually turn your body yeah yeah that's the big thing yeah you have to fight every instinct yeah totally yeah because I used to when I first start playing like I'd put on a headset in the middle of the room and then take it off half an hour later to look around in real life and just being like a total facing the opposite wall like really far away from my PC it just totally disorients you yeah I kept because I kept having moments where the sensors were going

or breaking up when I was doing something finicky like trying to disarm a mine or something I was getting all pissed off and then I'd like take the helmet off and see I was just facing like the opposite way of the senses yeah yeah so yeah definitely takes them getting used to but no I had a really good time the last chapter in particular is really good yeah it's incredible did you did you find the story gripping at all yeah it was the main thing uh I really wanted more story so I'd like really want to know about the half-life games and every time I did get nuggets and was learning stuff and I find it all really interesting this it's a weird

sci-fi world that's it's got an interesting tone because it's really comedic and weird and wacky but also has like intense horror elements too that are also kind of funny like head crabs are kind of cute but they're also horrifying at the same time yeah they're yeah and you find that head crab on top of like a mannequin it's all embarrassed when you see Yeah, yeah No, it's very clever, very well designed That's most of what I had to say Without just talking you guys to death

But James I know you got something I just uh I want your opinion On the following Hmm Henlo friend Saki Sucky

Dumb Dumb Henlo, friend Suki-sucky dum-dum What's your opinion? I don't like it Makes me feel weird What's the reference?

Well It's referencing This great picture Of a puck with a fucking dummy in its mouth Where'd you find it For Americans All right Oh yeah, yeah, they call them pacifiers, don't they?

I need people's opinions on it. I mean, first off, the pug looks like its eyes are full of tears and it's not enjoying what's going on, but I guess they kind of always look like that. Yeah. I don't like it. Dummy is about to give to human babies, let alone dogs, right?

Yeah. I just, it's evoked the level of, like, disgust. in me that I didn't know I had. Um, what was, I heard one the other day that people apparently call their pets fur babies or some shit. Um, which um, I don't like either. So what's wrong? It's like, it's a pet, it's a fucking dog. Yeah, like, it's not a fucking baby.

Where did you find it and why are you so obsessed with this sucky, sucky duck? Did you come up with the... That or did he see it? That or did he see it somewhere? Hendo friends, Saki Saki, Saky, Dumbum. Yeah, I thought of that. But this all came because I saw this video on Instagram where this, I think it was like a Labradoodle or something like that.

And it had a dummy in its mouth. And it's like the owners were just like trying to egg it on and I, oh, that's so cute. And I'm obsessed with it. It's been on my mind since I've seen it. I can't get over it. Who likes seeing a dog with a pacifier? Who? Who? Who are these people? Like, the most popular breeds at the moment are like

pugs and frenchies and that kind of dog, and people baby them. I can't. I'm disgusted. Sucky, saky, dum-dum? Well, at least you've turned it into something positive with the funny ditty. It's very Facebook. What's so wrong with it? Huh? Uh, sake, sucky, dum.

Do you think they put like peanut butter on it or some shit? You know, that's how they make it get... It's like Pavlov's like law, isn't it? If you make, if they associate the pacify with peanut butter, they're just gonna always want the pacifier. Because they've made that association. That's like an actual thing. That's probably how they make it, like dogs like that.

Oh man. I want pacifier. Do you think people... like need to humanise dogs don't need to I think we just instinctually do it because humans do that yeah yeah

I don't more relatable did you suck on a dumb dumb when you were a baby Rubin probably yeah really did you James don't know I wasn't a baby

well yeah he was born drifting on the eternal highway drifted out of his mother's womb yes drifted into this plane from another womb well if that's all you got on the pug thing

I mean on the sucky sucky dumb dumb I mean we see after these messages sucky sucky tick the head shirts available now

check in a description welcome to the second half of the corn, will we answer questions from the Corncast community. If you want to leave your own questions, head over to the Jal Media subreddit where there is a suggestion thread to what you can ask, whatever you like. Sean Nathan

021's going to start us off. Can we go back to R slash Fnaf? No. Moving on. Yeah. Ayu muayu says if your secondary self had to be assigned a typical

American high school cliche group, Which one would you be part of, for example, stoners, jocks, webes, theatre kids, goths, etc? Um, who, second self? Yeah, I don't know what they mean by that. Well, if your secondary self... I'd just be in the car group. Because I like cars. So the weed group.

Yeah, there's a crossover. There's a... Do American high schools have the car group cliche? Oh, yeah, because in America, their whole thing is like, people, will turn up in like Lamborghinis in like six form because they've got parents money there's that whole culture with that. You're seeing Fast and Furious Tokyo Drives back?

Yeah, exactly that whole thing. Like car culture's used to. I saw it for the first time a few months ago. It was brilliant. I'm just that group. And I'm a fucking wait if I'd just be there. But then there's like a, there's a crossover between car guys and jocks.

Just everything is car guys. Everything goes to cars. That's everything. Because everyone sort of needs a car. Yeah. So Would you be really into horses If we're a few hundred years ago, do you reckon?

Yes Sort of the equivalent Wagons Is that or be into like planes Like early 1900s? A few hundred years ago No like it depends what Like early 1900s

It's about planes 200 years before that was about like boats Could you even call them planes They were so trash They flew in the air They were used to during World War I so I guess yeah when was the first

like 19 it says it in like a tip on here it might be like 1901 or something maybe it's the 80 maybe it's like 1800s one sec 1903 the Dingle brothers yeah the Wilbert and Orville

Dingle made four brief flights in 1903 how crazy recent is that Crazy mutant Yeah Yeah And yeah 60 years later

Mastered it Moon Very rapidly And then If you were like Surely like in the Genghis Empire Everyone was horse Horsemen

Because that was their thing Horses Horsemen The uh What they called Horseman Half Horse half man Yeah

That was Genghis He was made out of them. Yeah, the Centals. Like, why wouldn't you be a... Horses are great. I love horses. Why would I be a horse man? I think horses are cool. They're...

No, I'm just getting flashbacks to the one of the really big dick. Horses are cool. What was the high school cliche though? Well, I've said mine. Ruben might be a horse girl. I'd be a horse girl. Yeah. I'd be the gamer.

I'd be... The reality is I'd just be a fucking gamer, yeah. Just be a loser fucking gamer. I'd be the car guy probably. Fine. Real existing person as one. Cucks versus Chats. I feel as though you guys are a bit too rough on Swindon. Mind you, I've never been to the UK, much less the aforementioned city.

But I actually refuse to believe that it is the nuclear wasteland you're describing as. Thus, I put forth a task for you. I would just like each member of the cast to name one thing they like about Swindon. about Swindon other than Casper's or the Dream Lounge I feel like this would be a nice way to balance the Swindon hatred exuded by the previous cast have a nice day no the best thing about Swindon is the outlet village because it's really nice it's a really nice yeah I agree with that it's got five guys it's got Wagamama cabri all the nice to close shot and it's cheaper because it's an outlet

you need to come up with your own one Alex yeah you've all got to say one thing i'll say the uh the the the museum attached to that very place where they have the train ship steam museum yeah yeah that's probably the only thing i've ever liked about it when i was a kid i liked that so i like leaving it i like the really ugly building the train station is like attached to just and even if it's used um i like how easy it is to get ketamine ease of access to yeah that's one of the big pros to Swindon actually

like we wag on Swindon but everyone in England rags on Swindon because it is that bad yeah and Slough

yeah it's the double S's Sliwndon it's dead as shit at SS just shitty M4 towns you know Either side of Redding

He said Reddit The side of Redding Resides Do you know it's bad Because I was born in Slough Lived in wedding And now I fucking live near Swindon You seem the very best of the UK

Ayamu Paya Says What were you guys almost named A name you could have had But your parents chose yours Instead Any meaning or reason behind Why your parents chose your current names

I was almost named Iulam Guess what language that is? Welsh Yeah, that's not Welsh I don't know Aztec I was going to be Elvis

After Elvis Presley Luckily that didn't happen Oh my God Elvis Elvis, Elvis Belmont Well I was going to be called Pierce

after he I wonder but if you say Pierce House really quickly it's piss house so my parents led me the bullying so they just named me after James Bond

do you have any reason I don't know what my alternative boy names were going to be I just know I was going to alternate names I was I know I was gonna be called no no no apparently they considered calling me or my mom considered calling me Otis that's a pretty cool name actually yeah exactly it's a pretty cool name we're calling my shit name but then again no matter what but neat my name I I've only encountered it like twice like once in school and in

secondary school no one so then Otis as well like either way I feel like there was an essential part of me that was shaped by the fact that my name was just like different to everyone else's. So I felt like I stuck out. But if I was a girl, it was going to be Daisy Tallulah. Probably happy with the end result, to be honest. Yeah. What about you, Jim?

Well, the reason I'm called Jamie is because I think my mom wanted a girl. And my girl name would be Amy. she was like oh it's a boy put j in front um but my alternative male name would have been laurent that i love that name so much i think Lawrence is cool because like Lawrence of Arabia yeah and uh but the thing with Lawrence is it's like an old school name so nobody uses it anymore like who knows the fucking Lawrence yeah yeah it is like used to be um that there was a kid in primary school called Lawrence, who was obsessed with Halo. He was the first kid I remember hearing who was like obsessed of Halo.

But the reason I wasn't called Lawrence was because my parents think Larry is a lame nickname. Right. You know, Larry the cable guy. Honestly, if you're called Lawrence and you let people call you Larry, I think that's your own fault. Or Laurie. You should force people to just call you the law. Exactly. Oh, the law, yeah.

And do you know what's interesting? I think if I do have a kid, they're being called Lawrence. That's been decided. They're not called them the law? Yeah. Speaking of the law, there's a question for you from Orange Operative James. James hating Evangelion actually got me to watch the show, which is now one of my favorite anime,

and specifically End of Evangelion, has now become my favorite animated films. Which is to say, does James feel the same way about End of Evangelion or the Rebuild series? the rest of the show. Also, if anyone remembers what episode James rented about Eva, that would be great. I don't remember that, so sorry.

I don't actually hate Evangelion. I just say I do. Can you pronounce it properly? Evangelion. Thank you. I haven't seen End of Eva, because I never finished Evangelion. But I have... I got...

I think I got to almost the last episode and I gave up. so I didn't see but I'm really sure the whole thing was like everyone hated the actual anime ending hence why end of Evangelion is a thing I just have never watched it makes sense and I do remember hearing that actually now you're saying that but I've watched the rebuild ones

and they're just pretty I don't remember anything of Evangelian because I don't think I had enough brain cells at the time to actually understand any of it because this was like peak after school this is like in college time where I just didn't have critical thinking

so like robots yeah it's one I would need to go back to to have any like fair opinion on but I don't really want to at the moment so but I'm glad this person found something they deeply enjoy through my

wanting about something I don't even dislike sand sale has one for us Hello Jha. I live in Sweden and I quite often talk about beer with one of my friends who also listens to Jha. In our latest conversation about beer, he brought up the English people drink their beer room temperature. When he said this, I went into denial because whenever you drink beer room temperature is when you're too young to store beer in the fridge. He also said that this is the case, especially in smaller towns like you guys live in and not in bigger cities like London.

Is this true? And if so, how do you live with yourselves? Wait, first of all, sorry, when are you too young to put beer in the fridge? I guess if you're trying to hide it from your mum and dad, just drinking some fucking budwisers under the bed. If you pay some homeless guy to buy you a six-pack, I guess. Yeah, but if you grow up in the countryside, your parents just supply you with alcohol. Yeah, that's complete enough of bollocks, possibly a misunderstanding based on beer versus lager,

but even then you treat the ale because you know everyone just see you got everyone just calls beer beer ale lager it's all just beer everything says fucking beer that's like the subheading no one drinks their lager warm unless they just can't be fucking bothered or they're like in a field and it's just like i can't chill this kind of if you're at glastonbury and you're getting shit face i don't think you care about the temperature and what does what does small towns have to do of anything what do you just assume we don't have refrigerators but like culture and technology hasn't quite reached our small towns we do live near swindon though it's true no but like we drank our beer cold

shit i just say like if you live in the country you'd have a garage and if you put alcohol there it's normally cold i don't think if i go grab any drink like there's i'm looking at drinks and if i go grab them they're cold they're just on the floor in the same room they're cold He goes to like, look, they've had a hard day of work. I'm going to go grab a warm beer. Nice warm beer. I'm going to go microwave my beer.

No, that being said, though. I stole my beer in the air in cupboard. That being said, I heard a story from my grandmother. This upsets me. Yeah, because she is old school English, like post-war-time British sort of thing. Which is maybe is what this person. is like talking about maybe it was an old sort of english i think it did used to be part of the culture but um she lived in america for like a year or so and when she would go to a bar or

per or whatever she would request that her be a be mic microwaved to warm it up because it was too cold from the tap it's just so so wrong no it wasn't it because um it was in new zealand she had that done. Was it a museum? Yeah, right? Because, yeah, our dad is a Kiwi and he's like obsessed, it has to be cold. Like, it has to be

ice cold. So maybe it's more of a thing there for it being ice cold. So she asked for it to be microwaved. Yeah, maybe. I don't really know our grandmother to drink much lager, though. See, the only drink, I think, is acceptable

to drink warm as a goon. yeah a nice warm goon on a winters certainly warm's the soul leg 27 has a question for James what do you think of wood paneling on cars I think on the right

car it can look rather nice do you think James so you guys know what this is I'm going to post a picture because wood paneling on a car is very interesting

like like in the what I mean I remember it being a big deal for like the interior of cars for a long fucking time but then on the outside

it's like the US station wagon that's what you call it Right, yeah, station wagon. It's only cool if it's on like a period correct vehicle, you know, like, you know, just post an image. What about like Skyler White's car? Yeah, that thing is cool. I drove the hell out there.

That works because it's old. Because it's ancient. Like, wood only works on cars in a time when cars were made out of wood. Surely when a winner of wood. wooden car crashes. Yeah. Splinter is just everywhere, in your eyes and shit. You're just impaled from every angle.

To be fair, though, there is, like, glass all around you as well. I feel like that. Is it not like special design glass that, um... Well, if you're building a car with wood, I feel like your glass isn't going to be much. Oh, yeah, no, I'm talking about modern shit, not about then. You didn't even have seat belts to, like... Isn't it the 80s? Yeah, seatbelts weren't, um, they used to be optional, I believe.

I'm pretty sure when Volvo actually introduced, like, every car's coming with a seatbelt, people got upset because it took away their freedoms. No, the, the industry, the, the car industry didn't want it to be law for them to have to put seatbelts in their car. Because they thought people would stop buying cars if they had. to wear seatbelt. This is so ridiculous. I think the most ridiculous thing I know about cars is the Ford Pinto where there was

the fuel tank's obviously at the back and if a car hits you at the back it could just blow up the car and this would only happen because Ford like skimmed out on like one like P of a of a relay and they never fixed it because it's cheaper to go through lawsuits than to save people's lives. I'm I like it. Yay! We've got three more here if we wrap up the show. Sean Nathan, O2.1 is another one. Quick Rubin opinions on the new Brock Hampton album. Have any thoughts, Ruben?

I don't know. I don't listen to like two tracks. I don't really care hugely for Brockhampton. On the whole, I tend to find their albums boring. I want to listen through them. There's always like one or two hits. But generally speaking, I don't really give a shit about what they have to say in a whole album. Fair enough. I've never listened to.

There's my really flippant Broughtampton opinion. I fell off Port Campton pretty quickly. Narrow Leth has a penultimate one here. Would you consider

renaming the content crucible, which we already have done this very episode, to the jar enema? This would make the most sense because you're cleaning out the old shit from last time and getting ready for something new.

I kind of like that idea. I disagree. Are we really going to I'm going to change it twice in one episode. Hose pipe. Jar hose pipe, enema. But that's already iterating on it before we've even... Well, I want to do one episode with the Crucible Barrel.

Okay. We'll take note of the enema, or the hosepipe. And I'll come back to that later if it makes sense. Okay, let's end on this from Dispick. Howdy from America, Mingers. What with the vaccine making its way round and the possibility of things returning to normal soon? I've recently begun making plans to visit the UK sometime next year. While looking round for things to do, I noticed that Stonehenge.

I noticed that Stonehenge was right in Wiltshire, so naturally I wonder if any of you have ever been to it and what you think of thought about it. Fuck Stonehenge, Magic Roundabout. You only still have your arrangement I want to fucking see. I don't give a fuck. You have to pay, and it's not fucking cheap. When I was like... That's not true.

And you're not allowed to go right up to it anymore. Yeah, yeah. Because people were like spraying shit on it or something. Oh, God. When I was like... Yeah, I think I've been twice. Yeah, like six. I'm really young.

I don't remember. My dad just points showing me it from a distance. Yeah, we're not paying to like going there up. But there's Stonehenge. Silbury Hill, though. That's our local, like, cool. Yeah, or April. He's been here.

I've been by Silbury Hill anyway. That's quite cool. Yeah, there's a long barrow. Yeah, Silbury Hill is sick. Is it true that there's a hole in the top? Supposedly it's like it's a man-made hill, isn't it? It's like just a ridiculous pile of dirt. Yeah.

I love that that old school British stuff thing. Yeah, it's just like a bunch of rocks. Let's just put loads of dirt there. Let's just spend like years, just moving rocks around in a strange formation. Just do it. Yeah, Avery better than Stonehenge. The last time I remember Stonehenge was just, yeah, just super gimmicky, just ruined by the... They should build, like, if they're making you pay for it and stuff, they should build a roller coaster that, like, weaves through Stonehenge and shit.

Yeah. In like 50 years, that would be a thing. No, that is definitely the solution, though, is, like, you drive past it, because you can easily see it from the roads around. just drive around it they're changing that they're building under it they're making a tunnel under it so you can't see it from the road

so they can charge for it they actually do is that you're serious no yeah they're making a tunnel under it yeah it's like Jim and I went on holiday once to the Isle of White and there's this beautiful beach

known as like the needles and it's been turned into this disgusting theme park that just completely ruins the whole like idea of celebrating the the beauty of the environment yeah yeah it's like a similar thing to me where

yeah it's just gross and lame and go to Abeby instead it's no yeah no Avey in the summer it's fucking gorgeous like it's not like a hippie common unit points that yeah there's like a week where just thousands of hippies show up

and just like sleep in tents listen to music but there's a nice pub there as well The good thing about it is that it's not busy. Like, it's not the same busy as Stonehenge. So you can go there. Yeah, it's different. It's really nice.

And there's a nice pub there. And they like dogs. So going to a pub and there's dogs, it's just really nice. You've got space to move around. And you can touch the rocks if you want. You can go into the museum and see the guy who was squashed under one or found under one. And some local history. And there's a really nice road to it that's very nice.

It's straight. as well. It's a good road. Yeah, there's some picturesque stuff in Wiltshire. You just got to know where to look. And the second part of the question is, on a similar note, have any of you ever done any of the other stereotypical American and Britain activities,

i.e. seen Big Ben, rode a double-decker bus, harassed the Queen's Guards, etc. Thanks for the cast and all the laughs over the years and remember to game on. I'm right. Isn't harassing the Queen's guards against the law? yeah they can legally kill you

that's the one from that list I've never done I've never cared about seeing the the change of the guard or whatever but double-decker buses are not like a rarity in the UK they're just fucking buses they're just everywhere I mean I guess you mean like London buses but even those have been like modernised now

so they kind of resemble it but not really what you're thinking of I shouldn't think yeah I suppose they've got the like tourist double-decker buses in London that go around I don't think I've ever been on one of those but yeah normal double-deckers are countless times yeah seen Big Ben obviously I haven't seen it in its full glory for a while because it's just been covered in the scaffolding and stuff but yeah I can get down with all the the buildings and the you know the history from that perspective but I just don't

really give a shit about like I've walked past Buckingman Palace and giving it good look and stuff but I just don't care about going in or anything or going into museums related to it but it's that thing of like if you live like five minutes away from Legoland you just never go you know it's like one of those kind of things been on a tour of the House of Commons years ago yeah that's pretty sick when I was in that year 10 that was I suppose kind of interesting it would be more interesting to me now but at the time I was just kind of like yeah I wouldn't say that's a stereotypical

American and Britain activity though particularly is it no but just on the subject of like Britain things that you can do on that note I think we're at the end here lads any final thoughts for this here corn this thing really moves

I don't really like England yeah shit really in it creating crimson creations creating crings creation creating crimson creation creating crimson creation creating crimson creation thank you yeah i really like it when we can we sing together i really like that creating crimson creation creating crimson creation Hello, friend, creator.
