Um, good afternoon, morning, evening, all night, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this episode of the drama media podcast.
Today, I'm joined by Alex and Jamie.
Today, this is coming from you live.
They're doing it like it's 2010 YouTube.
What's up, guys? Let's go do this.
A big shout out to the Patreon's over at Patreon for supporting the show and making
everything possible my life our lives all possible so big thanks to them check us out on spotify and
youtube iTunes and today we are joined by a nice bit of rum and Pepsi max a nice dead man's hand
one and finger dead man's finger is that it's called dead man's finger yeah it's called
debman's finger what would you do with a dead man's finger you don't want to know
And I'd like to say, since we actually, you know, we're talking about alcohol.
I don't know about you guys, but I really dislike beer.
Cider.
I dislike cider.
The only alcohol I actually drink now is whiskey and, like, one and coke.
I think, I don't think you're a grown-up until you admit that spirits are better than...
They're just, um...
They have a practicality that other things don't.
the kind of weightiness of beer and cider
just simply does not allow.
Despite their tastiness, they do have taste.
The taste factor, the deliciousness.
But I think the strategy is to start on just like one or two beers.
You know, then move on to the lad stuff.
Because it's like...
The gentleman stuff, sorry, not the lad stuff.
When I've got, like, I've been away from my alcohol like,
probably close to a year now.
Like, since early COVID was when I stopped drinking basically
after I went obscene with it.
And, you know, since, like, I've only...
The first drink I had was, like, a few weeks ago,
and a single woman Coke gets me tipsy.
I'm just, like, that's a decent time.
It's, like, fun.
Because I'm not spending...
I'm not drinking a stupid amount.
I'm not, like, getting dehydrated.
It's just, like, one woman Coke, and it's a good time.
It's like, there's that whole, like, masculine thing
where you need to drink a lot to be a man
and have this obscene alcohol tolerance.
It's just silly.
I really don't get that.
And I just don't want to drink, like, five beers.
you know, just to feel something.
Yeah, I agree with you.
The thing is...
Sorry, the thing is,
drinking a lot of lager,
you feel worse the next day.
You really do.
Without a doubt.
It's more expensive to drink that way.
Especially in a pub.
When you're doing this in a pub in a night out,
if you're buying so many pints and shit,
that's so expensive.
Well, spirits in a pub are pretty pricey as well.
But for me, if it's one woman coke,
and I'm feeling it.
It's like that's a one woman coat.
That's still really just.
And that's another thing, the whole loud culture around being like a heavyweight or a lightweight.
Who gives a shit?
Get fucked up as cheap as you possibly can.
Be a lightweight.
Yeah.
You'll have a better time.
Say some scratch.
Yeah, some scratch.
Say some scratch.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Never call it scratch?
No.
I've never heard a British person call it scratch.
Who have you heard call it?
scratch. No one. I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it scratch. Oh, maybe it's not a thing and it just
sounds right. No, I think it is a thing. I might have heard it in like a TV show or something. I just,
I'm a fan of alliteration. So whenever I can implement illiteration, I would do it. Did you do that just
now? Save some scratch. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. God damn, it's dirty in here.
Proper dirty thing. Let's do some housekeeping where we clean up some of the conversations from the
last episode and boy howdy were there some some questions some controversial topics that came
up um probably the biggest one was uh we had a little discussion about if if mike tyson
his prime could beat a gorilla um and we kind of settled on the idea that he would win um but the
commenters kind of disagree i don't remember agreeing we didn't agree it's it's we've never
ever agreed on it you can't you can't answer this question is a complete hyperfetchal let me read
these and I feel like I've definitely
changed my position thanks to the commenters
on this point. I fuck now. The god says
I was surprised to see there was no Mike Tyson
versus guerrilla discussion in the latest suggestions
throws so I thought I'd have my own take
there have in fact been many instances
of men fighting guerrillas and bears
and I just checked there has never been a
single case of anyone defeating a silverback
gorilla in hand-to-hand fight.
No, no no way. You've got to let me finish.
They are so incredibly dangerous in a fight
because they don't learn to fight, it's instinctual.
They have faster reflexes
and 10 times the strength of an average human
But it doesn't stop there
They also have a body designed to soak up hits
Even if Mike Tyson had the hitting power of a silverback
You've got to keep in mind they also fight each other
And their bodies are perfectly capable of soaking up hits
From their own kind
I don't think Mike Tyson could beat a silverback
Especially one that has a history of aggressiveness
Against other animals in the zoo
Correction here
We didn't mention silverback last episode
We were talking about guerrilla
Silverback is not a dead thing
no no it was silverback because they are like the alpha that's what that's what the
no but we can't expect a human to fight a silverback
no but that was the whole premise that was the whole question it's just guerrillas no
was it did did mike tyson challenge his silverback gorilla yes because that's what it was
it was a silverback in the zoo being okay no but this person's not considering
we're not talking about a human we're talking about mike tyson in his pipe
brett there's more um Pepsi man for smash says I feel like none
of the boys really understand just how powerful a gorilla really is. An adult silverback
gorilla is naturally one of the strongest animals in the world and is around 20 times
stronger than an average adult human, double what the boys assumed. Also, if this
gorilla was actually bullying others, it was probably the outfit, therefore the biggest
and strongest of that particular group of gorillas. The zookeeper probably didn't
let Tyson in not to protect the gorilla, but to avoid the hard questions like, why was
heavyweight champion Mike Tyson dead in the gorilla cage on your watch? Or
Also, not totally sure is how guerrillas would behave in this scenario,
but there would be a chance that if Tyson went in,
all the gorillas would freak out and gang up on the guy.
Actually, God, there are so many.
I'm going to stop at this one, though, from a...
Nah, that's wrong.
Sorry, but there's no fucking way any human could defeat a gorilla.
To think we could is greatly and gravely underestimating the power of a gorilla,
especially if we're talking about a silverback.
Those things are stronger than 20 adult humans combined.
They could literally tear your arm off with ease,
or shatter your skull if they were to swipe you.
The physiology also means punching them in their head
would basically do nothing.
Their neck muscles in frame
would absorb the impact easily.
I agree with pretty much everything said there.
Apart from, I think,
if we had like a perfect simulation
of like perfect human versus perfect gorilla,
there will be a time where the human wins.
No, but we're not talking about humans.
We're talking about Mike Tyson.
in his prime.
It's not comparable.
There's no human on Mike Tyson's level that has ever fought a gorilla.
Have you ever been to like a zoo and seen a silverback with your own eyes?
No.
Whereas when we lived in Jersey, we would see those guerrillas in that enclosure.
Yeah.
And dude.
They are beastly.
They're apparently more gentle than their reputation leads or whatever.
And that thing that happened at Jeter.
Jersey Zoo with a little boy fell into the enclosure
and that silverback protected him
the reporting on that helped
spread the like rep of
guerrillas. Yeah, guerrillas.
You know, they're not naturally going to
rip you to pieces in the same way a chimpanzee might.
But
if we're just talking a one-on-one, forget about it.
But we've also got
to consider
that Mike Tyson walks in
how are they going to react?
Because if a human walks in, they can see that they're weak
this is Mike Tyson he's not weak
they will notice he's got power
and I think they will respect each other
and the fight won't happen
no
no but Mike Tyson's going in there for a fight
so the fight's going to happen
no matter what
whether they want it or not
honestly
I think no matter what we say
or how much we discuss this
we'll never be able to say because
it's Mike Tyson versus a gorilla
I'm just going to put the foot down
and say the jarlings are correct
there's just no way
I know, okay
Okay, well about if we remove the silverback part
And it's just guerrilla versus Mike Tyson
Which I thought it was all about anywhere
I didn't consider a silverback
Because Mike Tyson wouldn't be interested in fighting a non-silverback
It's a fucking gorilla
Of course he's going to be interested in fighting it
No, no, no
Uh, Gerald Giant said
Why was James so against the Lightning Quick section
To discuss what you're drinking?
I think it's a great idea
As I'm not from the UK
So I'm not super familiar with even the most common
alcoholic beverages.
I didn't notice that.
He was like really anti it.
He was very against it.
He's the one that just did it
at the start of the episode.
Yeah.
Because we're drinking something today.
What I said that episode was that
if we are drinking something that's interesting,
we do it.
And I fucking did it
because we're drinking something interesting.
What do you mean by interesting?
Because I wouldn't close
rum and coke as interest.
Well, we're not drinking boozy whiskey
because we drank that before this fucking episode.
Yeah, it was horrible.
Yeah.
I'm going to fuck it.
Forget this fucking gorilla versus Mike Tyson.
Me and Jamie.
Me and James versus a gorilla.
Um, and finally to wrap up this section,
Med Ross says about the video with the robots from Boston Dynamics,
which we were discussing last episode.
I feel equally uncomfortable.
It just doesn't feel real.
It's like my mind can't accept that those creatures dancing
are not from a video game or a movie,
that they exist in real life.
quite uncanny.
I have seen some comments
saying that it is CG.
That video
specifically is CG.
Apparently there's like behind the scenes
of them making it.
Of like footage of them
indirect and like all the different takes
there to do and yeah.
Scary.
No that that is the
the word
though uncanny.
Yeah it feels wrong.
It's like a, it is like a monkey brain reaction.
Yeah, yeah.
It's going too far.
Yeah, cannot, cannot comprehend, do not understand.
But at the same time, yeah, get rid of it.
But also, when can I get one?
Hmm.
You know?
If you could have a, yeah, if you could have a robot butler, would you?
No.
100%.
Oh.
100%.
No.
He go robot butler, do my washing up for me.
Do my meal tasks.
Yeah, do my laundry.
Hang up the laundry for me.
Yeah, but what would you do with that spare time?
Other things that enrich my life.
Like, you'll find it boring.
Learn a skill, watch a movie.
No, but this is the thing.
Them right now aren't preventing you.
Because if you wanted to learn a new skill,
you will. I have to do the washing up and I have to do these things.
But this is the thing.
You use the hypothetical that with this given time,
you're going to do something more.
That's not correct.
Because if you wanted to do something more, you'd do it.
No, that makes no sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
No, I disagree.
No, think about someone.
It's the thing.
but what about like before washing machines and dishwashers and like
this is a completely different thing
that's why we had a societal construct of
before nappies were invented right and they had to like ham wash the nappies
each time that was like that's why there was a standard
I'm not challenging that I'm not challenging that work
because it was a full-time job I'm challenging the fact that you said
you're going to learn a new skill in this time
no but you're you're not understanding the time it would free up
how much would it free up I will say right now
A dishwasher takes me five minutes
to load it
Because you load it whenever you
No, they do everything
Groceries
I like doing grocery shopping
I like shopping Jamie
You still choose what you get
But they do it for you
They deliver it to your door
Where's the time saving
Well there'll be a robot there then
Instead of the delivery man
A robot delivery man
No but I like
unpacking the stuff
Because then I know what to eat
No but it would be awesome like
You know what
Just play video games for me
Get wins on Apex
for me.
You could
I think about this.
No, that's not a robot thing.
You can just pay someone
on Craigslist to do that now.
No, but you wouldn't
one time payment, you buy a
robot. Suddenly, you never
need to make friends again because he's just your best friend.
It would make Destiny playable again for me.
Yeah, you get two robot butlers.
So, what would you do is you'd buy a robot
to then fuel an addiction?
You have like a sweatshop
full of robot
robot butlers
gaming
grinding out destiny for you
grinding out coins
yeah but what would you do
for spare time
if you're not grinding destiny
what are you going to do with that time
learning a skill
doing the dishes
grinding a different game
yeah man
it's like you got to think
robots can like
save so much time
but what are you going to do
of that time
like I will agree
I don't erase my time
to meanial shit
but
I will just get bored
otherwise
I fucking
if I spend
like three days in my house alone I want I can't fucking handle it because there's so
little stimulation I need something create the stimulation yeah I think James is
highlighting a valid point that like a problem this is gonna cause so I've
never related to people saying they're bored elaborate yeah you're gonna
have to I don't get bored okay okay now explain
Explain what you do.
There's always something to do.
Okay, now explain some examples of what you do.
There's anything, bro.
No, you've got to explain.
Because when I'm at home, you know, I've got to take holiday.
Got to take a holiday of work.
So I want to, you know, I've got to have a day off and have a long weekend.
So it's like, you know, one of the days I'll be like,
I'm just going to play OPEX in the afternoon, play games, play racing games, whatever.
Yeah.
So I'm like, yeah, I've done that.
I feel great.
I've, I feel like, I've relaxed.
I've enjoyed things.
So in the next day, I'll be like, oh, I'll clean my car.
then I've got two more days left
by the third day I'm fucking bored
because I've like
all the things I do for recreation
for fun I've kind of gone through
so like the what have I got left to do
oh maybe I'll watch a movie
got to find a movie on a watch
a long time
then there's shows
it's just about finding those things
and then I might all be in the mood
when I find them
but there's just so many options of things
to fill the time with
because you you both like
movies and you like shows
you always have a back club of things to watch
so you'll be like if I've got spare times
but I don't always want to watch either
there's other exciting opportunities out there
you know like discover like I'll give
new examples what I do so just give me examples
because you're saying you're never bored and you're saying
you don't understand why people get bored
that's a person thing
some people do get bored some people don't
I think it's a mindset of like
some people need
constant stimulation
it's like leaning towards the
ADHD me
I would say I do require constant stimulation
but I find there's not enough time in the day
to be stimulated by all the things I want to be stimulated by
so what no this is what I'm saying
so what do you want to do
because this is fascinating because I'm fucking bored all the time
are you bored right now
I'm fucking bored out my mind
I want to read more
I want to like find no excite no no no
I agree with that first one
because I want to read
I want to see more movies
but why don't you read
you're the one that's just saying
if you want to do something
why don't you do it
I don't have time
is why you because you just make the time
just last night we put in what
six hours into fucking
yeah but that's the recreation
because that's socialising with you
so I can't do it because I'm
enjoying some lovely time with you
that wasn't socialising
I was just talking to you
I have my robot butler playing the game
Like reading something I want to do more
But it's like
When I get a moment it's like
If I if I start reading this book
I'm not going to finish it
Because I'm not going to have that time again
So I put it off
Because I'm not going to be able to repeat
That time I have available regularly
To finish the book
It's the same of like a TV show
Or movie like a series
The thing is that's how you sort of convince yourself
To stop doing something you enjoy
It's like
That makes it a chore then
because then you're forcing yourself to do things
because you need to finish the show.
So I want action and entertainment
when I've got the time available to do it.
That's why I prefer watching movies
because it's like I've got two hours free
so I'm going to use those two hours to watch a movie
and it's done.
I've got my entertainment.
I've used that time.
With a show I've got to spend six hours watching it
but I might have two hours on one day,
one hour or a week's time.
The shows are episodic so you can just watch one or two.
Yeah, but then I'm not going to watch that down the line
Because I'm like, I'm ready out of the interest in it.
Not so new, brother.
That is on me.
No, I think that's on the show.
If the show doesn't...
Just what the show ain't good enough.
I'm not saying the show ain't good enough.
I'm just saying it's not resonating enough with you for you to stick with it.
No, because like the best of the best shows, it's like a good book where you're like, I can't wait to see what happens on the next one.
Yeah, yeah.
So I don't think you should ever feel bad if like, if you're reading a book and you're like,
well, this is great.
And then suddenly you stop.
It's like maybe you got to a slow bit in that book.
That's a criticism you have for that book.
If you're like, and I do this especially with shows,
I'm pretty ruthless with shows where it's like,
if it starts falling off, I'm like, I'm gone.
You've lost something I'm done.
Yeah.
Whereas I'm a bit more lenient with movies
because it is like a two hour sort of.
Yeah, for sure.
No, I think that's a big problem with TV shows.
Because of the way it works, it has to be seasons.
So then you have this constant build.
up and then crescendo
you hit the peak
and then new season back to
the bottom and then you're doing that slow crescendo
again. You need to watch the wire
bro. Yeah I do.
We saw something today
that
it's just so wrong.
We did. We went to old Chippronome.
We went to Chippinaam. We got some burgers
from a lovely little local
place. Yeah, we went to the river
to sit by it, just a beautiful scenery.
We're looking at the bulk.
Yeah, we're watching the various canned, Bob in the river.
A beautiful chipper and it was like Carling, Guinness, Cranberg.
Yeah, we're just sitting there enjoying our food and all of a sudden this chaos arose.
I was sitting like kind of, because you were sitting on a log and I, there was not space, so I was kind of squatting on the floor.
And I got up and there was this thing that flew kind of dropped down my head.
And I instantly looked at it like, what the fuck is going on?
And then we all, like we were just fucking drawn to it, like a magical fucking.
Well, we witnessed a murder fest in front of our eyes.
And I've never, I've never seen this.
I've never seen this.
I didn't realize they were capable of this.
But what we saw was a was a wasp was grappling with the daddy long legs.
They were crash.
It must have like, caught me there.
It was like the end of Man of Steel, you know.
Yeah.
The wasp like.
It was the end of Man of Steel.
Yeah.
In both.
Don't make me do this.
It was.
So the wasps slam this daddy long legs down right in front of us.
I should have like recorded it or something.
But it's not seen a bit dark, you know.
It was kind of.
yeah we were so fascinated by like what the fuck is happening that we were just like
it's known that wasps are fuckers they're fucks they are fucks they are fucks but also also daddy
long legs fucks creepy fucks yeah just creepy fucks yeah just creepy like what they're like
on the other end of the spectrum whereas wasps are like capable aggressive violent
yeah yeah scary and spin it around daddy long legs they're like incompetent
and they yeah they annoy you out there in common years but they're like
harmless to humans that they're stupid yeah yeah um but the wasp was like on it
grappling it like shoving its stinger into it like biting its head it's it's wings off yeah
in front of our eyes what i'm stinging it yeah not only are they like aggressive and capable
but they're smart like it knew if i get these wings off this guy's fucked mm-hmm and it was
so it did it yeah and then and then it was on the floor just grappling for like a minute
straight just stinging just fucking biting in the back of its neck and then and then the daddy
long reds went nimp
and that's when the wasp fucking knew
it was like game over
so it fucking bit a bit more than it
fucking hugged its body
just fucking yeated out of there
it just went
yeah it just picked the guy up
and just flew off into the sunset
all of us with that
it's just like
yeah
no I wanted
I wanted to stamp on it
yeah because it was just like no
but I'm glad I didn't
because to see how that all
played out
fucking
creepy? What's it doing with the body? Is it taking it back to his nest to feed its children?
Yeah, where was it? Because the daddy longlegs body is like a tube, I guess, of like bug protein.
Yeah. So it's like quite a lot of energy for a wasp.
A daddy long legs is like twice the size of a...
Yeah. Yeah, it's got mass. But I didn't realize that they would target like things like
Daddy Longlegs. I guess I'd never really thought about it deep enough. And now my mind has been
opened. I dislike wasps even more.
I'm just glad it wasn't one of those wasps that
Well I mean maybe it was
Do they use like
Other bug corpses to have babies in
I don't think like normal
Wasps do that's a common
So many different types of wasps are like
Oh they
Parasitic
Yeah
Yeah
It's disgusting
So that's what my
That's why I was taking the body
To fuck fuck fuck holes in it
And lay its lava
Yeah
Well no
It's not one of them wasps
But
No it wasn't but
It was grim
I think the insect
Like
Ecosystem
Is the most
Horrific scary
Brutal
I'm just
Because you said it
Like from the perspective of this wasp
What a moment
My God
He catches a daddy long legs
Midair slams into the ground
They're battling in the sky basically
Yeah while falling down
Like you said it's Man of Steel
But is it in its man of steel rules too
Because they can just slam into
the ground and because they're so small
gravity doesn't affect them in the same way
like the humour would just be like smashed
to pieces from the equivalent fall
but they're little bugs so
yeah we can just tip back from our feet
like slip a disc
yeah just break the brain actually
just yeah quack head open
fucking bleed out yeah yeah
but it's like if if we were
in a different timeline and there was some
like zero point zero two percent
difference in our atmosphere it's like these fuckers
could be huge and we'd be watching
this with like actually like dogs. Yeah, they used to just be earth.
Giant dragonflies. No, back when there was more oxygen.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Like that small difference makes a huge.
But can you actually imagine seeing that with your own eyes? Like, it's too much.
No, you would, you get traumatized and you would be a husk of a human. You would just go into fight or flight or flight.
Yeah, you die. Like seeing a bear or something. I go into flight, flight or fight.
That was tricky. Flight or fight whenever I see like a
spider over a certain capacity like I did last night I don't know how big that spider was but I've
seen one recently I was like it downstairs on the toilet and I was just like oh it's there I put a wine
glass over this spider and it just fit a big wine glass like because the standard think standard
wine glass okay that might be about the same size of the one in white box we have a fair few
Aussie listeners and I sent you a video this morning of a huntsman they're like fucking
you just moves a curtain and there's a huntsman behind it and
it's like, oh my God, that's too meaty.
That's wrong.
Yeah, and the thing is at that point,
because I couldn't kill the spider that I saw last night,
which was like wineglass size.
A spider that big, that's like,
that's like rat.
Yeah.
I can't stamp on a rat.
Yeah.
Do you think I could eat a huntsman?
I think it's too big, though.
He wouldn't.
Paisley.
I would not want to see it, like, them seeing it.
I think they might be scared of it.
They might instinctually, like,
I don't know.
I actually don't know.
Ozzy listeners.
They're literally like...
Ozzy listeners, please let us know if dog...
No, I'm pretty sure...
I'm pretty sure Jarlane said before that their dog ate a huntsman.
That's right, yeah.
Yeah.
Like a chat rustle or something is cringing.
I'm not.
Like, I've heard Argy crunch on fucking animal, like spiders and it's like,
that crunch is disgusting.
But huntsman's like a different level.
I can't...
I don't even want to imagine it.
I wouldn't bother.
like do people do Australians
and I say as Australians
if they're like a different waist
of a like Australia but it's like
do they deal with them or do they just be like
are they not the ones that cause a lot of car crashes
because people that pull the way mirror down
and then they fall on their lap
I think I would be in a car crash
if just a house spider fell on me
when I was driving
I told you the other day I think
I went to put my trainer on
and I was like oh there's like a
ball in my my shoe
like oh there's like a weird is that like a
it's not the first time this has happened to you
either it was like a stone or something I thought
you know I get the stones happen
sometimes especially you've got a fucking
hole but I said the other thought actually went
into my mind like
it'd be really lame if that was a spider
there's this like spider season
and I took it off shook my shoe
and out comes one of the pretty big spiders
I was just like
the thing is you're not that scared of spiders
are you?
No, I kind of like them, to be honest.
You like them?
What do you mean you like them?
You like having a house spider in the house?
Well, we've got, speaking of like ecosystems,
there's an interesting ecosystem in my house.
Yeah, this house is where it's like, it's strange.
It's just a weird house.
I am fine with those big spiders as long as they're, like,
stay away from my bed in that area, right?
If there's just one chill in, like,
there's this cool spider that's in, like,
my top bathroom
it's not one of those huge ones
but it's like a weird one
that's just been in the windowsill
for like years now
is you dead
no no it's like alive like
it's just and it maintains like the bugs in there
oh if it's actually killing bugs
yeah yeah then that is a good spider
that's doing it because I got my chili plants there as well
and it's made like a web like join to it
so it's got a whole thing going on
that's cool but the rule is
if those spiders come down to the carpet
to the dog zone
that's it that's not the you're not
you're not killing them though the dogs are just yeah they clean it up so there's this whole
circle of life thing going on now I know it's the same I understand like I'm scared of
spiders so it's just like you know right now if they were in that corner or that corner I'm
I'm fine I there's a there's a huge spider in my bathtub at a moment and it's the one I saw
downstairs because if I see a spider down stairs it's like it's going to my bedroom
they always go to my bedroom so I was just like there it is and it's gonna die in the
bathtub, but I'm just going to be like, okay.
Well, the one that I found in my shoe, I saw crawling around in my bedroom.
Circle of Life.
If you see a spider in your house, it's going to turn up somewhere else in your house.
That's why I have to deal with it in the moment.
If it's at the size where I couldn't handle it, like seeing it in my bed, then I have to
deal with it then and then.
Yeah, I would have stricter rules if we did have spiders like the Huntsman, though,
because that's just too far.
It is, but they're also, like, the only harmless spider in Australia.
It's something about the size and the speed.
Slow spiders, I'm chill with.
Are huntsmen's that speedy?
I feel like they do have the capacity to...
That, that...
Yeah, if they move fast, it's like actually hell.
That's nightmare fucking shit.
Like, my powerlessness demon is just a fucking huntsman, a huge huntsman on my wall.
Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis?
I did for the first time, like, a week ago.
Really?
Describe it because I've never experienced it,
and I've never actually, I was thinking about,
I've never experienced anything like hallucinations
or anything like that,
so I don't actually know what it's like.
This is a weird thing, because the more time comes between
that moment and now.
I don't know if it was just a night terror
or if it was sleep paralysis
What was weird about...
Like a night terror
Like a nightmare
Like an awful nightmare
Because
So I woke up
It must have been like 5am
I was lying on my back
And
I see
Like a dark figure
Yeah
In the sort of cliche
creepy girl
Like
Well like the grouch girl
Long hair
Yeah, sort of with their, like, Spider-Man in the corner.
Yeah, yeah.
And as my brain processes what I'm seeing,
it, like, starts moving.
But not like...
So, wait, so you're lying in bed, your eyes open?
Well, that's the thing.
I don't really know.
Because it felt like a dream,
but I was lying in my bed in the exact position I woke up in,
looking at my room.
Yeah.
Looking at the corner of my room where this figure was.
and it starts just like moving across the room
and as it...
What does it look like when it's moving?
Is it like...
It just becomes like a blur.
Like someone cloaked floating around.
Like Voldemort from...
Oh man.
Dude.
Like that across my room.
So when this shit starts happening,
my heart starts pounding
and I start like wheezing, like moaning.
And I can't move.
Yeah, that's a...
That's not a nightmare.
That's sleep paralysis.
If you could physically can't move, then yeah.
But I don't know if you're like,
your brain is awake but your body is asleep is that's what's going on that's what happens so your brain because of that it's like a fight or flight your brain but you're also in a dream state where you're like seeing shit mm it was on it the scariest moment of my life i've never felt that sort of terror that's horrifying yeah no that's it's a thing where like you're just going to experience it eventually no yeah no i think it's more it's much rarer no apparently you you you people experience it once in their life like it's gonna have to
happen at some point is what I know but I think people I've talked to people about it
like older people they've never experienced anything but the thing is it's just
like have they questioned it or have they just been oh it's a nightmare because they
I think sleep paralysis has only become a known thing in the last like 20 years
yeah yeah so they might have just been it oh that's a nightmare I've I have
fucking nightmares pretty much every night but I've never had it and I know it's
coming I know it's fucking coming you've never had it I swear um no
no you have like um you've had like sleepwalking type things right yeah i i've sleepwalks so i'll like
um i'll go to bed and i'll wake up here somewhere else or on another part of my bed like you know
sleep at my head to the wall and it's like i'll be on the opposite end of bed of sleep when i wake up
or i sleep i'll wake up on the floor or i wake up bleeding or yeah i i've i've woken up
before with like slices down my back like two long slices like with a knife don't know how
I got them. I woke up and I went in a moon
I was like, that's like blood all over my
back and I was like, what the fuck? How old were you at that time?
When was that happening? 17, 18.
It's like that era when I
said that I
hate sleeping because that was like a
regular occurrence of like sleepwalking.
Do you sleepwalk now?
Or is that kind of calm down? I don't know.
I have no idea, but I sleep talk as well.
So I like, I have arguments
in my sleep.
They're like reenacting
things in my life.
because it's like survival shit
like I'm just sleep talking that stuff
don't know why but it's like
I think it's like a common thing in my family
wonder why
yeah it's definitely a terrifying
concept to me that I don't really want to experience
by the way it's been described to me
it's just like it's questioned
what because that's I don't
that's I think yours is like unique to you
that's sort of the meme isn't it
like my sleep paralysis demon
so what if yours is that was mine
because it's got to be something you fear
What if yours is me?
You slamming my doorway for this.
Jamie, no!
No, I do question it because this is...
What would my sleep paralysis deal?
It's going to be something pretty fucked it.
It's going to be like a combination of like the main characters are from Big Mouth or the Minion.
I just thought it's fucked up.
Sonic.
It'd be like an S-CP like that thing.
Yeah, definitely be Shadow.
Maybe mine was like a vaude shadow the hedgehog with like a minion inside his tummy.
I think mine would be like very realistic if I had to guess it.
be like quite based didn't I
quite based
I'm gonna have quite base
sleep paralysis theme
I'm gonna tell you about my fucking
the thing is
this experience
like my ghost experience
I'm glad I've had it
because again
who dies of sleep paralysis
I'm not
I'm not worried that it's gonna happen
to me again
like it's not pleasant
but
it's just unknown tower
you don't know why this is scaring you
bit it's just terror at the moment and that's like not harmful it's like you feel scared but it's
like nothing's gonna happen yeah and it yeah i think it's uh it's good to sort of have an outburst
of some sort of extreme energy in the form of like terror or something as long as it's a rare
thing if you're having sleep paralysis every night that would be fucking horrible yeah no but at that
point you've got a sleeping disorder you've got actually something one that's causing this stuff
but it's like i don't know it's like from what i've heard from people they've always been like you know
they're sleeping alone. I don't know if like
how people react when they're like sleeping with someone.
So they've got someone there's sleep. So how
do you react when you know you're safe?
Because there's someone else in the womb.
Because yeah, like, should you like wake
someone up if they're like they're freaking out?
You're supposed to let it play out?
But like I was
from my understanding of what I
could experience in the moment, I was
being quite loud.
I feel like someone could have heard me.
But no one
heard anything.
that night it's really bizarre because then I think oh so maybe I was just dreaming
yeah in my head I was like yelling out and shit but it's it
imagine trying to yell but you can't move your mouth that you can only use your
breathing so maybe it wasn't as loud as I thought I've actually had a similar thing to
that um I'm pretty sure of sleepwalking but it's like I thought I thought I was in like a
a really dangerous situation
and there was something happening
so I got out, I jumped out of bed
and started trying to open the door
and screaming for help
and I'm going, can't open the door
the door was unlocked. I just, in my
in that state I thought the door was locked
so I was trying to do the handle and trying to pull it open
but the door was not locked
and I was like screaming and then
I said to my parents like had this really weird dream last night
where a situation when I was trying to open a door
and I was screaming for help and they were like
we didn't hear anything but I
that happened that actually happened
I don't know why.
I've had
like crazy intense
realistic nightmares before
but it's always like
then I've woken up
and it's like
yeah and the thing is
normally you don't wake up
like from a dream
where you were lying in your own bed
everything was normal
apart from this one
like creepy figure
flowing around
and you're like in the exact position
yeah
what is interesting though
is that I never
I never sleep on my back
I'm always on my side
I don't find it comfortable
No
You can't it's just like I need to be a bit
Curled up is that like a trigger like sleeping on your back
When I woke up
When I wake up normally I'm on my side
Like how I fell asleep
Yeah
But when I woke up with the sleep paralysis
I was on my back
See I often sleep in my back
I don't
Which is weird
That is weird when you know you sleep this way
In this situation you slept
You woke up in the exact
Replication of
the
yes it's really bizarre
yeah it's just
I want to know
because it's like
there's causes to it
there must be some
lifestyle
issues problems you have
there's a lifestyle thing
yeah
this is a thing
because I've been wearing
nicotine patches
they they make your dreams
fucking wild
if you forget to take them off
yeah
well these ones
I have a 24 hour ones
so you're meant to wear it
like throughout the night
and into the next day
until it's been 24 hours
so I have been doing that
and up until this point it was like
teahy funny dreams like
crazy wacky sometimes it gets
it goes a bit too far but
whatever
but yeah I was wearing this I don't know if that
was the cause of it so
you know I think yeah it might be weird factors like that
where there's like a chemical
balance in you and it's just like
when it gets a certain level your brain
just does fucking wacky shit and
that's like a
I'm not educated enough on it to actually know what the fuck
it is. It's like one of those things
where I don't think there's a lot of scientific research into
why it happens and I just know
this is going to happen. Apparently scientists don't
truly understand why we
even need sleep.
They know that we need it. Isn't there some
question as to what the, what
dreaming is and what it means?
Yeah, yeah. Do you believe
dreaming means anything?
Yeah, I do. Why would we
experience it if it wasn't, if it
didn't mean something, if it didn't manifest
from something? Dreams
you have dreams
it's like a way for your brain to
like manifest how you're feeling
so you'll have dreams thinking like
about something you want to do or
the way you're feeling
right so if like you want a new job you'll have
weird dreams related to that because it's something in life
you're unable to do at the moment but do you not think
some are so just wacky and make
no sense that I think that's the
that's the beauty of the mind is that they can just go
off the whales in that type of way
yeah surely there's some
form like based on your
subconscious that is
like manifesting in a way
yeah it's like when I think of like my recent dreams
it is composed of like
things that are on my mind at the moment
yeah well that's the thing
like it they can be like that
or they can be totally wacky
yeah like I think
I had an owl one the other day it was all about owls
we we know that
like with mental health of certain conditions
that it it manifests in dreams
that it affects your sleep that's a we know that scientifically that's a thing
so I think it does there's a lot of correlation between the two
so I think even if you're in a good place it's like your brain reacts weirdly
because of it in ways that we literally will never understand
because we can't understand it because it's the fucking brain
at the moment we don't maybe one day we will I don't think that'll ever happen
I think humanity will be extinct by the time we understand the brain
us understanding the brain is what makes us extinct we die at that point because that's like
if we get like brain chips are we still going to be dreaming or are we going to like choose movies
to watch in our sleep oh my god like it's like microtransactions it's like what you can like
you go you choose which character in die hard you get to be hopefully it's not sane that'll be
that'll be fucking terrible if you could choose a character in die hard because everyone's miserable
but fucking the main guy yeah yeah so you pay the most money too he's like yeah yeah right
running on glass and shit.
Yeah.
Bebe...
You feel like a badass.
Going through a divorce or something?
Yeah, so.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Divor's experience his whole life.
Until that point.
Like that Rick and Morty with the simulation thing.
There's one more thing I want to throw out before the mid-break.
And that was a few video games were announced at this Sony thing.
That I want to throw out there, that being the main ones of note for our...
Well, at least for mine.
my interest being just like Spider-Man 2
Wolverine and God of War Ragnar Rock
Yeah, Ragnarok is that only one I've seen shit on
Well out of those three it's kind of the only one that has proper
Right
Like actual gameplay type stuff
Yeah God of War looks pretty cool
I'm glad that they announced that
It's not going to be like a whole trilogy thing
And that this one is just going to wrap up the story
I think that's really refreshing
I think that's actually a really brave and smart thing to do.
Like, instead of haloing it, where it's like, well, make new halo.
Yes, it's just never going to end now.
Yeah, just force anything.
Just make it go.
They're not going to drag it out as a thing.
They, how far could they go of this, you know?
Well, it makes me way more excited for the story because it means it's going to be self-contained.
And the beats potentially will be much weightier and mean more.
Yeah, it's that TV show thing I was talking about.
Yeah.
What I could see happening, though.
is this will be the last one
they'll do another
but he's in a different
mythical universe
because there's no point
dragging out the Nordic one
and they can do
something else
I think that's what they're probably
going to do
it could be a cool way to take it
because I mean the title
just being god of war
yeah it's pretty lenient
and the game's too successful
Sony won't let it go
so you see the controversy
about the design of Thor
in it
yeah because he's a bit chubby
whereas when I saw that
design i was like nice yeah no he looks sick he looks so fucking sick he looks like he will fuck you up
like not does you don't like people don't realize that someone who's got weight behind
they will fuck you up no look at you don't need to be chiseled fucking whipped shredded fuck fest
look at what the world's strongest men actually look like they're huge they're like
they're like round as fuck boulders yeah because they have they have mass they have refined mass
that's like that's what gets them like it's actually like an interesting character
design too.
Yeah.
But yeah, he's just
perfect, in my opinion.
No, I do like all the character designs.
All of them look so.
It's nice to see that they're not going
the, like, the stereotypical way
of presenting, like, these...
Well, some of the, like, Chris Hemsworth, too,
some of the discos I saw where people are like,
yeah, it should look like more like
the epic Chris Hemsworth one.
It's like, come on, guys.
Yeah, but he looks the best in those movies,
being fat and fucking, like an alcoholic.
Like that's the best look
Yeah, it's true
That I did see some petty fucking shit
Like they didn't change the fucking boat animation
Mm hmm
Like fuck off
Fuck off
Yeah
There's something about
Video game online discourse
That it's just so fucking toxic
Tiring
Yeah
I mean
If they're gonna have the mechanics of like
You push a boat offshore into water
And why would you change
animation and like mechanically it works
perfectly. Apparently someone worked a year
on that animation alone because it was broken
and couldn't work. So they spent a year
developing how to make the boat work perfectly and doing
it. And it's smooth as shit. You push your boat on
and it works. Yeah, it looks great. So why the fuck would you
waste money and development
time changing something you don't need to change?
Like gamers have this idea that
if there's a sequel, every single
tiny thing needs to be remade.
Like, really done. What's that man? It's like, that's not how
fucking business works. It's like a hundred million plus dollar
games like
They're going to find anything they can, if it's a sequel, to try and...
But also, like, do you really want them to take money out of, like, developing new ideas and expanding what they already have?
Or do you just want them to make the same thing look different?
Yeah.
It's not going to look better.
If they want to expand on the mechanic of, like, the boat reversal and that shit,
don't fucking dump money into
just remaking an animation
how do you feel about Insomniac
the Spider-Man guys basically just becoming
Marvel studios for games
because they're doing like Wolverine now
I'm bad
I trust their output
I trust them as a company
it just bugs me how it's exclusive
I think it's lame
yeah it's annoying
but Sony won
Mm-hmm
But I get it for Spider-Man
Because Sony owns Spider-Man
But they don't own Wolverine
Yeah, true
I just don't like the idea
If this gaming is now like Marvel
I don't want that
See the thing is
Games are
It does mesh well
Like superheroes and video games
Like you want Hulk ultimate destruction
You want to
Yeah
Like it makes sense
It's like arguably better than movies
Yeah
Yeah
one spider man like it's so
what insomniate did with spider man it's like
yeah it's what you do
like what you'd imagine as a kid
we've got to like on the side
besides insomniac because we know
you know the spideom the
PS4 Spider-Man was great
we know that we trust them as a company
Square Enix Marvel game
a little bit shit
that's that that's different though
I just think
I just if they're gonna spend
a lot time developing these Marvel games
they need to actually develop good games.
But if it's insomniac, yeah, if it's insomniac, we can...
But at the same time, if they're going to pump out these Marvel games,
it means they're going to hire loads of new people,
and it's like not going to be the same.
Insomniac won't be the same studio.
I just, I'm skeptical because I know what spamming Marvel content does to a medium.
We'll see.
I mean, my general rule is just, I'll trust you until you fuck me, like with these games.
like, and Spider-Man 2
Insomniac, like everything I've experienced from
Insomniac has been of a quality
that's like, they are more
than capable.
And like the, it seems like
Spider-Man 2 might be like a co-op or something
or... That'd be sick.
That would be sick.
Like, even Venom, I was like, nice.
I want a venom story
that I like.
Yeah, go.
We've had two and Jesus Christ.
I would say that there's a problem.
You've already said it. It's on PS5.
and PS5s are impossible to get
it's like
it's not fun at all
like it's difficult to be excited for a game
and the supply of the console is like
so fucking low
that's why everything should be released on PC
yeah always
what I mean about the exclusive thing it makes it quite
yeah because it's like they would get
like they get money for grand
who is mo and a like god of war
that's that's like what
I were talking about 200 fucking dollars
or pounds or whatever straight up
they're not getting that because they're not supplying
the like consoles
mm-hmm and it's a bit fucking gross and I don't like it we'll see after these
messages um hello this is me argy why you do realize that there are bebo shirts
available right take a look at the really cute shirts look in the description or under the
video for more we're so open with each other where it's just like like if you walk into
house one day
if you walk in my house
I'm like gaming
you walk in my house
go to my fridge
you grab food
and leave
I won't care
it's just like
okay James
you're gonna have
so many squatters
just living
junkies
in your house
no but obviously
it's only if you guys do
I generally won't care
it's like oh
do you want a Pepsi
just come get one out of my fridge
what you're gonna
have Pepsi in your house
are you
Mr.
Oh sodi's bad
I probably right not
I won't have Pepsi
but I'll have
only if you have rum
yeah
But it's like I, it's like if you walk in my house, you can take whatever you want.
I don't really care because it's you guys, you know.
Share and share alike.
You just can't take my lube or my dildos, you know, that's awful.
So that's where you draw the line is that the lube, you won't share that.
No, you need to share lube.
Yeah, it's a rare resource in this world.
Yeah, lubricants, oil.
What do you think we invaded the, the sandy genes of the Middle East to obtain?
Yeah, the soldiers just slather themselves of the oil.
slid down the dunes and...
Yeah, sliding around the sand like a snake.
Oil's the one thing I wouldn't share.
If you go to my garage and take my oil, I'm killing you.
Spoken like a true Westerner.

We don't want them.
Speak for yourself, my friend.
Bill Hayder Gaming's going to get this section going.
Have you heard of Avatar the Last Airbender's co-creators, Brian and Michael?
Forming of Avatar Studios with Nickelodeon, they've announced future plans for new series, spinoffs, and even a theatrical film that begins production this fall.
All set within the Canon Avatar Universe.
It seems like the Last Airbender is going down the path of Star Wars with the expanded universe approach
Do you have any thoughts on all this content being produced?
I thought this was Avatar the shit movie from James Cameron, not Avatar The Last Airbender.
Here's the thing, right?
It is a rich universe that I would like to revisit, but I'm extremely trepidacious about this idea of like, yeah, we need a movie, we need two spin-off shows, we need all this shit.
No, sometimes things feel more real
When you're only given like a drop
Yeah
If that original show is just perfect
Yeah, if you're given a hint of all this extra stuff
Going on in this world
That makes it feel more real
Than if you see every like important detail
Well that's why I like the approach of having like
The different avatars through time
Yeah
That are like kind of joined
You can have like little references to like stuff in the past
That you know, little fan service kind of moments
But tell new shit
And I just don't trust
We're in the nostalgia era, of course
So I don't trust them to not tarnish
Yeah, yeah
We'll see
You know
I'm pretty torn
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best
Yeah, that's always a good mindset to have
Like this one from Oscar Man 97
Howdy Mingers
Bit of a serious one here
So I apologise if this comes right after a question
About fighting a bear
But in the past, you've spoken about a close friend to your group immediately distancing themselves and losing connection.
I myself have experienced a shockingly similar situation in the past, one that still manages to give me mild anxiety when thinking about today.
A very close friend of mine one day announced that they can't be friends and left without a trace,
never managed to talk with them all these years later.
My question was, if you had any advice or coping mechanisms for experiences like this,
was there anything in particular you did to help yourselves when your friend left?
I'm a rather sentimental person, so thoughts of loved ones leaving is a big fear of mine.
Thank you so much, game on.
Well, I can relate to the fear of loved ones leaving, but it's like with that situation,
because we had context to why he left, so I didn't feel like, like a, like it was just like unknown,
because it was like, he's leaving for this reason.
It was more just absolute confusion than anything else.
I was just like, okay, but...
Yeah, this is.
is worse when it's like
we just can't, they say we can't be friends
and then vanish. Maybe you don't have
answers and you don't know and there's a big question
mark, is it something I did?
That's like such a completely
different situation where I don't know what I can actually
say about it.
It's like that's, that is kind of rough.
I don't even know how to process that
from just hearing it.
And it's like our experience was just
not like that.
So I didn't struggle with the
realisation because it was just like everything was
laid out on the table and it's like okay
wow
even if there is logic to it it can still be horrible
yeah I don't know about
coping mechanisms
or whatever it's more
it's pointless blaming
yourself if you didn't do anything
I think
it sounds sort of harsh to say
but
replace those sentimental
memories with new ones
like
it's easier said than done but
make new
no don't goon
yeah that's last resort that is absolute last resort
but
no seek new experiences with friends
you already have or
make new friends do
do just simple shit
with new people
or the people you've known for a long time
like I think
something a lot of people do
including myself is like
you put too much
worth
you don't have enough self worth
you sort of put it in other people
and what they think of you
but then it turns into
it's not what they think of you
it's what you think they think of you
well yeah it's true it's the
you can't love anyone else
until you love yourself type thing
yeah RuPaul he said it best
there you fucking go
I think a good situation would
tomorrow
if I just disappeared
and I said that I couldn't talk to anymore
how would you feel
knowing that you've known me this long?
Well yeah that would be fucked up
because it'd be like why like did
yeah I think that's that's the emotions
you'd have to deal with
and it's like how
but that is just like
a thing in life sometimes
where people are all going like different
paths and everyone's
going down their own shit like
I would say like
I've been in a situation where I've had to break off
you know people
because it wasn't
healthy for me
it's like my advice
would be sometimes life
has his ways and you have
to just distance yourself from people
but I would say to always just explain
it always just close
the case and be like this is what's happened
I'm just going to have to do this
because then you're not leaving someone else
like this situation where you're leaving an empty
like an open book
you want to just close it so then just explain
it's just about communication
just communicate what is going on and be like
you know this is it because then it's just like
like people can accept that and move on and just putting someone in a situation where they
can't move on is terrible and I think you're a terrible person if you do that so just do
have the decency and you can't blame yourself for other people's inability to communicate and
like their shit that they're not maybe telling you or like people are like complicated there's
a lot of shit going on in people's minds that you never hear or find out.
Yeah, and I think it's a human condition where just people, they just feel like they
can't communicate properly.
So in these situations, they go away because they, they just feel like they can't say
why they've got to.
So it's just like they leave it because it's just like they feel like they won't cause,
you know, like a inconvenience for someone, you know?
The mind is just really weird in that way.
But I just say just try and not be.
that try and communicate time do well to be honest a lot of the most valuable lessons are the painful
ones you know with time um as horrible as it is in the moment time does heal all wounds like
the more time passes the better and the more distance you have from it and the more you're able
to break it down and you know move on yeah um the real ron has a
this one. Hey Mingers. Love the cast. And question for James here. As the food texture expert of the cast, what do you think of these following textures? They must be American. Jello. Or jelly.
I don't like it. So you don't like jelly. Oatmeal.
Like porridge. Oatmeal is that. Is that what Americans call porridge?
Yeah, I think that's. Like porridge is like a very English thing. Porridge. It's like oats and it's a meal.
this keeps happening right
just these things we've grown up
with our whole lives being British
and then like
someone from America's like
what the fuck is porridge
I've never thought of what
oat meal is
it's like I don't know you think of like
it's like it sounds quite literal to me
it's like oats as a meal
which is porridge
porridge
because porridge is only known as porridge in the UK
but now we're saying porridge again and again
the word porridge is becoming more weird
in my own
I saw this like Tumblr place
It's just like being anyone who's not American
on the internet
It's like everyone has these different experiences
So it's just like
None of the language is the same for anyone
But oatmeal
Like that texture is fine
Because it's kind of like a consistent gloop
Okay
No no no no no no no no no
Jelly isn't it a consistent glue
No no no wait wait wait wait wait wait
With oatmeal depends how milky you make it
Because if you make it really milky
Then it's like oaty fucking chunks
But with liquidy
twist that's bad
I can't have oatmeal like that the more you explain it
the more confusing it becomes apple sauce
I've never just had apple sauce
have you ever had apple sauce
yeah with meat and I haven't like
the texture's the meat because it's like a sauce
so you're fine with it because nobody just eats
apple sauce yeah apple yeah because it's like a flavour
there's someone out of there
I bet you there's one listener that does whoa hold up
lamb would you have roasted
lamb would you have apple sauce shrimp
Port. Okay, that's the one I was...
They're all the save to me.
A loose corn.
Fine.
And
mashed potatoes.
I fucking hate mashed potato.
Oh really? No, I'm down with James on this one.
Mashed potatoes. Worst
worst way to consume potato.
Yeah, every other way is better.
Yeah, good mashed potatoes, lovely.
But it's like, I'm not considering this
from a texture point.
The texture of mashed potato, I don't
really like it. It's too gummy.
It's too like
No, no, if you can get it just right
They're like fluffiness
See, no, but here's the thing
I don't think I've had good mashed potato
It's like if it's anything
Any type of food from my family
It's probably shit
It's a bad example
So I might like good mashed potato
But every other way of doing a potato
Is better
Yeah, and it's a better
textual experience
Yeah
Yeah, because when it comes to potato
You want some crisp
You want a bit of crisp involved
Not if you want mash
yeah but who wants match
no one
everyone hates mash
oh but about bangers and mash mate
bangs and mash I prefer bangers and roasties
I would just prefer that
see no with the jello thing jelly
it's like I think the texture
of jelly is okay by itself but when I think
a jelly I think a trifle
and that's fucking disgusting
no jelly and ice cream
that is wrong
jelly and ice cream is actually a cardinal sin
No, no, no, because my mum buys these,
because my niece and nephew, they're young, they're kids,
you know, you spoil them, whatever.
She'll buy them these fucking jelly parts
and then get out whipped cream and...
Yeah, I was that asshole at, like,
the kids' birthday parties,
it was like, I'll just have the ice cream.
Really?
I'm more of a just-have-the-jelly kind of guy.
Really?
Yeah.
No, the idea of putting fucking ice cream on jelly,
it fucks me up.
I cannot deal with the idea
that a melty-liquery,
is being poured on a fucking consistent jelly that's fucked up that's so fucked up i can't if there's
any adult out there who's eating jelly and ice cream they need to go to prison well this is not
fucking white you mentioned trifles and like fucked up our dads from new zealand and like
they're like fucking love trifles and shit um but i just never i've never got it i can't get down
in the same way no no did you know what's fucked up about the triples
trifles when they put the biscuits in the jelly.
So then you've got biscuits that's soaking
in jelly at the bottom. So you get your
spoon and you carve out the jelly
and then you get these fucking weird texture
parts where it's like soggy biscuit.
Fucked up.
Fucking disgusting.
But in saying that though, I have
like memories of, um, we have family up
north and going up there and they like
made a trifle and thinking, nah, this
isn't going to be nothing. I don't like
trifle, but then having it and being like, okay.
Really? You see, that was an example of a
trifle I didn't like because it was like full of brandy or something it was full of as well I liked it
it was full of a really strong alcohol and all it tasted of was said alcohol she that I'd probably
like that because it's like got I do like trifle I don't because it's just like you've got the jelly
it's just three layers of different textures no but like you like a cheesecake where it's
biscuit cheddar cheese no no no no no no that's it that's different okay I
me explain that because because with a cheesecake the majority of it is the same texture
because it's like you go through the cheesecake but then you get another texture thing that's
like a nice flavorful burst so that complements it because it's not overpowering when you have
two things at like 50-50 texture that's when it's a weird time because with a cheesecake you're
tasting more of the cheese cheese part no but if you have like lemon globules on the top or like
cherry or some shit i don't have cheese toast like that
I like to use have a little bit of sprinkle.
Like chalky flakes or whatever you want to call them.
But I think that works because it's like there's a majority of the same texture.
The texture ratio, if it's like 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, bad.
You know, 50, 50, bad.
20, 20, bad.
If it's like 80, 20, fine.
Because it's a majority.
As long as the majority of something is the same texture.
He's getting deep with this.
This is, um, it's like unrelated to this topic somewhat, but it's been on my mind.
and I've just got to throw it out into the cast
Okay
Fuck Gregs
Who's Gregs is shit
Yeah no
Stop stop stop please stop
Trigger warning for anyone who's English
Don't listen to Alex
Because we know Gregs are special to you
And it's a sacred place
But Gregs is fucking shit
Reel it back a sec
Have you had a Gregs recently
Uh
I'm gonna be on
I've never eaten from that
No no no
I've been into them multiple times
when I've got like
I'm hungry and I'm like
you know what
let's give Gregs a chance
I go in there and I look
and I'm like
fuck this shit
no there was one time
you've eaten Gregs
I know that for sure
but I got like a tuna
baguette
that's not like
see when you go into Greg
there's this weird idea of Gregs
because I remember Gregs as a kid
where it was like a much bigger bakery
but they actually made a lot more stuff
on site and you go in and you go
look at the gingerbread
and the brownies and cookies
and it's like oh yes
now it's like this super process streamlined fucking shit experience
nah but like
I was looking at the menu just on the website
while I was doing a shit or something and just like
because it is a thing in like British culture almost
which everyone fucking loves Greggs
and it's like one of these things
there was a fucking like pole a bullshit pole
and it was like all the restaurants like KFC McDonald's
Burger King Wagamama
like all these the fucking one that was like the most
was fucking Gregs
but why what is the thing from Greggs that is like
that is like that
That's the thing.
The sausage roll.
It's the sausage rolls.
But what is the thing?
It's genius.
They said,
they were like,
okay,
what's our unique selling point?
Cheap and shit.
But McDonald's already earns that.
No,
but McDonald's is cheap and,
like...
Kind of shit.
Kind of shit.
No, Greg's is fucking shit.
Yeah, Gregs is straight up shit.
And I was on the menu.
And I was like,
that's like...
That's like the picture of something I want you to buy.
That's like three cocktail sausages.
That's a depressive fucking sausage roll.
No seasoning, no nothing.
But like it's on the McDonald's like advertising, they like they spruce it up, you know?
Yeah, they make that they lie.
Yeah, that's what Gregs does right.
Gregs doesn't lie.
Greg says the standard.
Greg says look, we're shit and that's it.
No, because the thing is it's just like I think this reflects just.
is there like a
droplet of water
that was bizarre
is that the Russians
what the fuck
for those listening
like my iPad just started like
scrolling by itself
that was fucking weird
you guys saw that right
I think
I think Grace is a bigger reflection
on how basic English people are
because it's like
Greg sell
they sell nothing
this intricate or complex.
It's brown. Everything's brown.
It's basic slop. It's basic slop.
It's wartime. England never left World War II.
Save money. Eat brown.
That's English culture.
Anyone who's got like proper English boom of pounds
ask what they like and it's just like the same
fucking slop. It's the same fucking slown.
It makes me understand the meme that's like
British food sucks.
Yeah. You know? Because it's like when English people,
when we love brown. When we have,
have such variety, because we've got
wagamones, we've got all this shit. When every
all these fucking British, English
rankers, whatever you want to call them,
when they go, and they decide
to eat somewhere, and they all go to the place
that feeds them bland slop.
For
pretty much free.
Yeah. Because there's a Starbucks in like a town
opposite, like near us called Melcham, okay?
There's a Starbucks there, and we've been
there before, and we've gone into Gregs, and it's
like, I will go there on the weekend to get
coffee because I'm you know I'm like that Starbucks will be empty Greg's fucking
queue outside every fucking day that's what that's especially what like cue in for
shit like like people in who wait half an hour in the drive-thru at McDonald's like
why you're wasting you're that is too far yeah it's like I like a McDonald's but I
ain't wait no I'm not gonna say you like a McDonald's you guys fucking love a triple
cheese you fucking love a triple cheese you're addicted bro
But it's like, your time is money.
Time is money.
You know, the more time you waste, you know, you could be doing other things.
That's what I'm saying out.
You're wasting your time for some McDonald's chips
so it will get to you fucking cold and a burger that is fucking bland as fuck.
Nah, their triple cheese ain't bland.
You think, no, I'm going to back at McDonald's here.
No, the thing is, McDonald's giant corporation, fuck McDonald's and all that.
Yeah, fuck McDonald's.
But if they provide me something,
for like 2 pound 20
that's just obscene
calorie packed
like I'm putting on gains
thanks to McDonald's
you've got to consider here
we're talking about
English people who love Greggs
you think they're going
to McDonald's and mine
a triple cheese
what are they buying
what do you think they buy
Nuggets
chicken legend
maybe a Big Mac
Big Macs like out there
Big Macs are shit man
Big Macs kind of suck balls
The Big Macs are fucking
bollocks
They're fucking awful
That has to have that middle slice of bread
It's just so shit
you. No, Big Macs were good during Christmas.
Do you remember that Big Mac?
No, because that's when they had the triple Big Mac.
The double Big Mac.
It was like even bigger.
Yeah, it was like bread, double patty, bread, double patty.
Yeah, so it was really good.
Yeah, and that worked because that sort of justified the central bread.
Yeah, no, but it's like, but with English people with food, you can't believe, like, my parents would go to Beveressoons.
It'd be like, oh, the food was really good.
And I'm like,
good.
It's like, yeah, there is good shit.
I consider like McDonald's good shit.
I think it's fucking shit.
No, but the thing with McDonald's is that like,
I can, I cannot replicate what they do.
Gregg's, I can.
No, but the thing is.
Weather spoons I can.
I can buy a ready meal from any shop.
No, a ready meal is so much better than what a ready meal is better.
I can, yeah.
We've recorded
We've wagged on
Rether Spoon so much
But when you go there
And you like
Get a fucking chips
And they come out like
Fucking stale in colour
It's like
The waitress laughs
As she puts down your food
She laughs
She laughs
She laughs in your face
For being such
fucking idiots
For eating at that location
Yeah fuck that blaze
I'm never going back
Yeah
Fuck you
No
But the thing is
English people love that
They love fucking
Retherspoons and Gregs
Yeah because it's the same thing
As Gregs
It's like
We're shit
And
But
we're cheap
yeah we save you money we serve lots of brown just acknowledging how shit they are
and it's like makes it okay for some reason no but the thing is like it's the
Deadpool thing when I see these memes because England is a laughing stock to
pretty much everyone every person who has baby two free bane cells knows that
English food is fucking bollocks but the same time it's like I get upset at that
because England can do incredible food the best in the world like you think
Gordon Ramsey level shit that that's like incredible fucking food because we've
taken so many influences from good
Some of the, like, pubs around here, like, holy fuck, they do some good shit.
No, they do, yeah, it's like, we do, but it's not, like, we do food so well, but it's like the fucking average is just like, it's Greg's some Everspoons.
And it's like, I don't blame you for calling us fucking disgusting, because we are.
We were fucking trocious.
And I have a go at my parents every time they go to Everspoons, because they're destroying the pub industry that provides good food.
And they're buying some fucking two pound chips that are cold.
I just don't get the sausage roll thing
Yeah so what is it about sausage
Like yeah there's a hot taste
sausage rolls are shit
Yeah
To me
And this just because I guess
Cause our upbringing like
sausage rolls to me are just like
Our nan makes these sausage rolls
Oh holy shit
So they're just like a Christmas Eve
So they're just like a Christmas Eve
And that's what like a sausage roll
Because it's like using Popper Fresh like
Butchers meat
Yeah she goes in
It's like nice pastry
No they're
Sossage rolls
Like they're defined
so many subtle flavors
Do you know why that is?
It's because they're being
seasoned and it's having other things in the meat
that makes it flavourful.
But like a Greg's sausage roll isn't.
It's just like...
But I feel like I could get the Greg's experience
by going to Tesco and buying a corn sausage roll
that isn't in real meat.
And it's like...
And it's nicer.
It's nicer, yeah.
No, Scotch egg...
There's fake Scotch eggs.
Picnic eggs, they think they call them.
Yeah, yeah. You love them.
Yeah, they defeat anything Greg's can do.
And the sort of thing is with Greg's,
They have a ice, like a freezer range in Iceland,
and they taste the fucking same.
The fucking same.
And they taste fucking shit.
Yeah, I wasn't planning to go on on Greg's,
but it's been on my mind, I've got to admit.
No, no, it needs to be called out because it's that bad.
It's like we've never even tried the coffee there,
because it's like, if the food's fucking disgusting,
the coffee is probably shit as well.
Yeah, yeah.
And I, I'm not even like a coffee,
well, I don't give a shit.
shit, if it has caffeine in it, I'll drink it.
Yeah, you, like, me and I like, I think we care
more about, like, the coffee you drink, but you'll just be like
coffee. Yeah, if it sucks, balls, whatever,
it's getting me vibing.
Yeah, you know, you're getting the...
Yeah, yeah. I'm getting the vibrations, literally.
Yeah, yeah. But...
You're not going that, though. No. I... And you
like McDonald's coffee, and I'm a fucking... No,
McDonald's coffee genuinely good.
No, no, not if you have the cappuccino. The cappuccino's
fucking garbage. So you just have
the Americana and you're probably having a great... If you're
drinking um cappuccino's than you're a cun anyway
damn
whoa cappuccino is the staple of the coffee community
what should they be drinking them bro
americanos yeah the european the european the war time
brown i'm english i'm cheap and i drink brown
i eat brown that's it i eat beige every day
that's it yeah like i want to have more americanos but i just
like a flat white and a cappuccino
They're just tasty.
If it's brown, I'm down.
Adventurous airline has one for me.
Alex, you ever watch more of the Bad Batch?
I was very disappointed after the great first episode.
Seems like Disney is more interested in making animated TV series
Gets World's 5 to 10 year olds
other than making an actual good series.
That's just the vibe I get.
Seems like they're stuck between making something
older fans would want to watch.
The inclusion of Rex and Cabbane are clear examples of this.
And making something for kids.
Yeah, I gave up on it very, very fast.
Is it baby?
It's annoying when they do that, where it's like, yeah,
we're going to kind of trick you with the first couple episodes
and kind of like set up some story thing.
And then it's like, oh, actually, we're going to do something else.
Yeah.
And just like filler shit that's just not interesting.
It seems to just be the norm with those type of shows.
Unfortunate.
Yeah.
Star Wars is meant for babies.
No, but there is the right tone.
Like, I feel like
Whatever the Mandalorian's going for
Is more of like
I want like
I want like a Star Wars like show that's like you know
With the mood of berserk you know
Oh right yeah
Actually at Vileo 100 says
Are you guys gonna watch the Star Wars anime
When it comes out
Have you heard about this?
I have
I've seen trailers for it as well
Wait hold her
It's an anime
It's an anime, it's a Netflix anime
There's Star Wars
Netflix?
Not sure it'd be Disney Plus.
Disney, I just didn't know if they did anything that was a, just anime.
So, yeah, it's just, it's not Netflix, it's Disney Plus.
But it's like Star Wars anime, it's going to be shit.
Yeah, I don't care.
It could be shit.
If I want to watch anime or, like, watch an anime.
Yeah, I don't understand why this anime style, like, this anime style shit.
It's like, anime is unique in the way it is because it's from a different culture, like, country.
That's so different to us.
And that's why it's like it's a pale
There's a lot of sort of samurai stuff
In Star Wars
That is true
They're like Mandalorian surely
To a certain extent
Or is that more Wild West
Yeah
Yeah it's a bit more western
That one
Ignored that then
But it's just like man
Do we need
Do we need this stuff
A lot of the Disney Plus
Like spin-off stuff
Feels super throwaway
Is that intentional?
Why?
I think they're just
Trying to justify the never
I feel that with the Marvel shows
Like they have loads of hype
And they'll do a similar thing
Where they have like an awesome concept
Or a good couple like first episodes
And then they meander or just lose it
No but I don't think we ever talked about Loki
Like I feel like
The entirety of that show was perfectly justified
And every episode felt
Important enough
Yeah it was okay
But I just don't really remember anything about it
At this point
it's just not that memorable to me.
Did you know Phanos's choppers in it?
From the comic book, it's helicopter.
It just says Phanos on the side.
So technically, in the law of that universe.
In the yore of the law of that universe.
That's when I'll get into it is when we have the show where it's like,
it's Thanos on his bike.
Yeah, Spider-Man on his bike chasing the Thanos chopper.
Yeah.
He's in a helicopter.
Yeah, I want Marvel to have the same production quality,
but lose the serious edgy tone.
be dumb as fuck be funny do it but that's the cool shit about loki it was like dumb as fuck it was basically like yeah there's a multiverse going on anything you can imagine like we can do anything yeah i i never saw the like winter soldier show um but i did see wonder vision which i felt like again was like a cool concept yeah that fell apart as it went along total waste of potential um like that last episode but like i just didn't enjoy at all yeah
think it's embarrassing um where yeah loki was more consistent with that stuff um it's probably out
of that disney plus stuff it's probably the yeah and i enjoyed the most from i think it kind of ties
into what they're doing with spider man as well i think that's cool right yeah yeah um brendog
too has one being british do you think there's anything the u.s does better than the uk most people
from the UK think the way the UK does things is better than how the US does things and vice
The metric system versus versus the U.S. measuring system, the British names for particular objects versus the American names like Torch, UK, versus flashlight, US.
Are there any instances where you prefer the way U.S. does something to how the UK does it?
Don't ask this question.
Let's just skip it, because we don't want to bring out American hating James, do we?
America does nothing better.
That's the only reason I screencats it was just so, to hear James is great.
America does cars better.
Shut the fuck up!
Don't ever speak that blast of me at me again, fam.
Then the UK.
Name a good car to come out of the UK in the past.
S-Cort Mark 1.
Nah, piece of shit, man. Lightway, we will drive Wally icon. Incredible.
Absolutely banging incredible.
But cars nowadays quite shit.
But then America just make pickups and they're also shit.
Pickups, they pollute the world more and they're shit.
pickups have no use
if you don't own a farm
you shouldn't have a fucking pick up
the only thing that comes to my mind is
pizza
and I could be rung on this
because I've had a few rums
at this point
but at least their constitution's
like written down
that's something
yeah but they both
they fucking scribbled baby language
on a on a fucking paper
and they scribbled our language
on a piece of paper.
And it's fucking baby language.
Like,
what?
They fucking,
like,
they follow it like
is the fucking law.
Like,
it was written in the 60.
That's literally what it is.
No,
because it's just like
they wrote about guns
and it's just like,
that's fucking stupid.
It's fucking 2020.
Like,
they don't,
they need,
you can white it down,
but it was Whitting
in the 1600s.
You can need to update it.
You need to actually agree,
like,
we should make this change.
Like,
that's,
fucking thick of them actually stupid of them well that yeah but that country
yeah that's part of the debate no but the thing is they might have written these
laws down but the rich abused them all the time so like why does it even
matter when only like when the majority of people follow them but the rich
abuse them but like that's the same here like there's a plenty of abuse from the
rich here like no but the thing is it's just like England is just it's a
amount we're America's bitch we are the slutty little bitch of
america so it's just like if i criticize america it's like i know this country's shit and i don't
like this country we're no different from america we're just getting to america
yeah i'm actually really struggling um because the at this point like we pretty much absorb
the same culture was so americanized um we're getting more more of the same brands and the
same companies and just the it's see being being british
It is like playing a sieve match and you know you're going to lose
against China or America going for a culture win.
Yeah.
So what'd you do?
Nothing.
You try.
Yeah.
Like, they've already won at this point.
Yeah.
We're calling each other bro all the time.
Who the fuck did that 10 years ago?
We, we're incredibly American.
We use bro a lot.
Yeah, we put, us in particular.
That's three.
We, man.
That's like our.
main term of endearment is
bro. Yeah.
And dude and shit.
No, no, but there's one thing that I
I'm going to call Americans out on. They're fucking
pussy olds. They're fucking
pussy owls. They can't say
fuck. Shit.
Bullocks? What are you talking about?
No, they say frick.
Frick! What are you talking about?
No, Americans don't use profanity. They use
frick. Well, no. I mean, that depends on
the American. Yeah, you're wrong.
I think that she's fucking pathetic.
Something I think America was smart in doing, but also maybe it didn't work out, the separation of church and state.
No, that didn't work out at all.
That did not work out at all.
Conceptually, yeah, but the weird thing is it's turned out they have religion more ingrained into their society than we do.
Texas.
Really, really influenced by church, given the, you know, wars.
No, no, no, no, I think you are.
fucking stupid if you think the church should
have any influence in politics.
Nothing should have any influence in politics
besides politics. Johnny the Rat has one
for us. Good evening, I come to you
with crushing news. I got sacked because
of jail media.
Is this like the third sack story?
Really? Who else has got sacked?
But I think how funny this is really makes up
for it. I work in admin, a
small magazine publisher. My
job is incredibly boring, so I end up...
Is that doxing?
No, it's not doxing.
He's both in. A small... A small...
A small magazine publisher.
No, no, no, no, keep going.
Restart.
My job is incredibly boring,
so I end up trying to leave my desk as much as possible.
This means I often make the excuse that I need a shit.
While in the toilet, I sometimes slap on a vid from the Jail Highlights Channel.
Usually this goes great.
I plug in my headphones and watch away for five minutes or so.
Now, I recently acquired a pair of Bluetooth earbuds.
Perhaps you can now tell where this is going.
And I forgot to connect them to my phone for this plop session.
There's a Bluetooth speaker in the main office that plays musical day.
However, my phone had automatically connected to this and was now playing the Curry episode Supercut at high volumes for all to hear.
Of course, this led to severe punishment, and with my ex-boss being a senile bastard, he didn't even realize this was an accident and believed me to be trolling.
So thanks, Jha. I'm now unemployed.
In conclusion, thoughts?
I haven't seen the Jarn Media Cowie episode Supercut, but I know that episode and I swear a lot and I'm like,
order the fucking koi all the time so
I'm so fucking sorry
Jesus Christ but I understand
I'm not taking responsibility for this
I completely understand
I'd like to I'd like to take responsibility
for however I behaved back then
because I was a naive
foolish young man
we all were but
but like come on man
no but I
no because I've I've messed around
with like Bluetooth devices you know and
they do just fucking connect if you don't like look so that is a complete accident it's like he
you never intended i put more blame on the boss for firing him for that if you're at work what
i'd say is to unless you're at your desk and it's like allowed because i can watch youtube
videos on my screen and i'm doing other things because i'm focused on one and it's you know
in the peripheral vision but it's like if you're going to toilet just go on it go on instagram
and mute every video because then you'll never get noise and it's that's what i do i i turn my
volume all the way down on my phone and then like scroll through Instagram.
I'll slash jar media has up an ultimate one here.
Hello lads, a bit of a long one here, so bear with me.
Seeing as you're all car enthusiasts, Jamie with his love for antique cars like the pisser,
James with his passion of driving, and since Alex daily drives an EV, I was wondering what
you boys think of electric cars in the current landscape.
More specifically, their quickness and how many people on the
road will have access to insanely
quick cars that are also way heavier
than the average car. How do you feel about
the safety implications when considering these
factors?
With the electric car
thing, then
the compensation,
because if you take a normal car of a metal
shashi,
car people are going to be like,
fucking James can't pronounce things quickly.
Chassee.
Shassy, though it's a metal frame, you know,
and with a normal car you put an engine in,
When you're putting heavy batteries, you've got to adjust.
BMW don't do that.
They have, and they're the most advance in the world
for making light-rate chassis that are strong.
So the weight is not greater, it's less,
because of these synthetic materials that are super strong.
But are they the most popular EV?
Tesla's are.
Yeah, without a question.
Electric vehicle.
That's what they said in the comment.
No, that's what they're called EVs.
They're EVs.
Are Tesla's like crazy heavy?
I don't think they are.
They look heavy. Yeah, they're quite a big thing.
No, because I don't believe the panels are like...
Those batteries are fucking really heavy.
They are.
But I believe Tesla are smart enough to not use, like, heavy materials in the production.
So they're using lightweight, like, carbon fibers and whatnot in the panel production.
So I don't...
We have a weight point.
Like, most of the...
Like, SUVs are so popular now, and they're fucking heavy.
Like, if you're worried about, like, safety on the road,
electric cars aren't you're concerned?
what about addressing the speed the speed factor because that is a thing but in my car it's like
what we should do i don't think the vehicle is ever to blame so no but the thing with electric
vehicle is okay so comparison point you're i3 it has fucking umph okay so it will go from a standstill
to like you know 60 quickly it's like i think it's seven seconds which is better than most
cars on the road really but then it's like an old ass one too
Yeah, and it maxes out in 90s.
You can't exceed that because the battery
limit. Like, my car's a turbocharged
like, you know, hot hatched from 2007.
It's designed to be fast.
And even by today's standards, my car's stupidly fast.
And it's like, from a get-go, I have that same umph.
And I can go, I can go fucking 160.
No problem. It'll fucking do that. I've done it.
I haven't done it. I have not done that.
I'm not so editing out of this one.
That's not getting edited.
then that's not um like e vs are fucking fast and i do believe that's a problem because you know is that
like a thing where like there have been more crashes like more intense crashes because of like
the capacity of like speed that you i don't i don't think no i the only thing i can imagine
is people getting overconfident yeah but at the same time if people are getting overconfident with
them they're not if those type of people are normally in my type of cars well that's the thing like
these kind of people
that
do this stupid shit
they're going to do it
no matter what car they're in
yeah and I think
the problem of EVs
is like I've seen
like Audi did a test video
in one of their new EVs
it's like a test mule
and it was like a
but they were stationary
and it did fucking
high speed donuts on the spot
and there was perfectly on the spot
EV technology is going to be so obscene
nothing will be able
to beat it
the fastest cars
now in petrol will be fucking destroyed
by electric vehicles. They already are.
Yeah, surely that's already the case. If you
want performance, there's no point buying an
Audi, there's no point being a BMW buying an electric car
because you can go from 0 to 60
quicker than anything else.
Anything else on the road.
The problem is that
I think as they get more
common on the road, there's going to be people
who are getting into them who shouldn't
be. They're going to be people like older people
who don't have the reactions to
because you've, like, you
been in my kind of when you go fast from like a get still you have to have quick reactions
any bump in the road and you're being sent into a tree and you're dead and i think when older
people in these vehicles they might not realize and they're jamming the throttle and they're going
100 miles an hour see i've never driven like a tesler do they have some inbuilt like safety
software that like assists if you're gonna i don't i don't know what level of safety they have
because i've never looked into it or driven i think if you're going like from nought to 50s
to up to speed, they're safe.
Does they have, like, features where it, like, auto breaks
or, like, swerve you out the way of things?
I don't know what they're capable of.
They are, because they'd have all the assists now,
like, stability control, tracks control.
So if you're, you know, sensible, it's like,
you'll never be an issue,
but it's like when people don't know how quick they are,
they could be in bad situations.
But these same people are going to be in bad situations
in normal cars.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Like, I'm pretty sure Tesla release they,
they, like a model
S, like, played edition?
Obscene. I'm
talking so fucking fast, it's actually just
gross. Like, I don't know the figures,
but this isn't correct, car people,
so don't bully me. I've seen shit of, like,
naught to, like, 60 and 2.8.
Really? Like, people are wasting
them against normal cars, and the Tesla's just
fucking demolishing everything.
They're that fucking fast.
Oh, my God, you must put the foot down and just...
You're gone. Yeah, it's a fucking rocket ship.
And I just think, I would
people shouldn't be in these cars because older people we've seen when
okay no when are normal people going to be able to buy this sort of shit like
surely people are but like what you see like every other cars a Tesla at this point
mm-hmm and those tens are that sort of stuff what advantage is there if anything
they're less efficient like they are in terms of battery usage what's the purpose of
having that like if you if you just need a car to get to work electric car do but my
example is this is how many videos have we seen in America this doesn't happen
anywhere else
where
they go fucking back
at full speed
and forward in full speed
and wipe out like 10 people
because I don't know
why in Americans
but they crash
and they put their foot to the floor
and it's like
imagine that in electric car
their roads are just straight lines
I guess
imagine that where they reversing
it's fucking nought to 60
in 2.8 seconds
and going forward in 2.8 seconds
how many people can that kill
because that's an obscene amount
that's good
yeah but what are the stats
right now
what are the stats of like electric car
accidents
compared to normal car accidents
I highly doubt
I will say all of the
Tesla accidents are related to idiot people
using self-driving
Yeah, sitting in the back
Yeah, that's like
I don't think these
This massive
Like speed advantage
It's gonna make any difference to crashing
It's more people
That is much more dangerous
The self-driving
The self-driving
And I'm pretty, I read something today
That they, the Tesla
They're developing software
That the Tesla
tests you on your driving ability before it allows you to use self-driving
so you have to be competent at driving to note for the car to let you do it
so that you're you they know there's it's obviously to get a feature that's available
in the UK is it our roads are too far yeah there's no AI no AI could ever be
smart enough to navigate Swindon like if anything the biggest risk is to the
road and safety is self-driving
Because idiots are fucking idiots no matter what they drive
And they're already on the road
You know, it's just self-driving where the issue is
Like being able to do naught to 60 in 2.8 seconds
Isn't going to make, isn't going to increase
Like proportionally increase accidents
Because idiots are on the road
And they're crashing anyway
Regardless if then a Tesla or a polo
You know
But it's interesting
I think the electric future is high
It's really interesting
And I think it's something to keep it up with
Well I was reading about
how there's a trend in the UK
of taking classic vehicles
and making them electric.
I like that idea.
I think that's cool.
I've seen companies do it.
It's like they take beetles and old minis.
Instead of scrapping them and it's cool to preserve them.
Most of the time some of these companies do,
you have these classic cars, you love them.
You know, they're perfect condition.
You drive them in the summer.
You know, there's loads of people in my estate are like that.
Around here you see loads of classic cars like that.
House opposite, you know,
he has one of those classic cars.
The thing that people are doing is because of these classic cars
are so difficult to maintain and drive
because of their old engines.
They require a lot of maintenance.
What people are doing,
they're taking them to these companies
where they'll put in an electric motor
but allow it so it can be,
the engine can be back in.
So they may want to sell it in the future.
They have the normal engine,
but it means they've got the vehicle
that looks, the beauty of these cars
with convenient electric.
Yeah.
And I'm going to straight up say,
if I could own a car that's on the 60s
that looks so fucking beautiful
that it's like, Jesus Christ,
but I can beat every car on the road
of this obscene electric motor
why wouldn't you?
People have issues because it's like purity
because you can't own...
Do you not think something's lost with the sound?
Because that's part of the future
for like car people?
No, that's different because
I've worked on cars
and working on cars is shit
so I don't...
The sound doesn't mean anything
when you have to repair it every week.
You love the sound of an engine pairing?
I do, but I also want a liability.
The tactile feeling of changing gear.
Yeah, but with older cars
I'm not an older car guy
I like modern cars
because they're convenient
and they're reliable
like these older cars
they look great
we saw car like last weekend
at McDonald's that was like a jaggy type
one of the most beautiful cars ever made
sleek red
gorgeous
shit in the garage
it breaks down all the time
you don't want that
we saw a classic car today
it was like a really old car
what era was that from
that's like 40s
that's 30s
that is old
It was like...
It was awesome.
That's when a company
would make a frame
and then they take it to a person
and makes buses
and be like,
make the frame.
And it's like...
You're like so high up.
Yeah,
I don't think starter motors
even work then.
It'll be like wind up
at the front,
you know?
Like those cars,
like,
those year of cars
shouldn't be electric
because that whole era
is so ancient
where it's like
pretty as vintage
at this point.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Like they should be enjoyed
to what they were.
Mm.
But it's like that era
of cars like 60s
70s where it's like
they're shit
They're fucking shit. Make them electric. Make them good. I'm not against that. And I know people are gonna be like, James, that's a bad take.
But I think electric is better. Why make your life more difficult?
Exactly. Electric. I want electric car. I didn't tell you about the Tesla guy
I told Jim this story. I have to pee. Go pee. Go pee. I got to see a Tesla like closer. You just slammed it into the wall.
yeah i got to see a tesla close up because i was like just driving home in my one um because
your neighbor you're your neighbor not neighbor i do have a neighbor that has a tesla but it was someone else
oh someone else okay because like recently like on google maps they like said there's a charging point
like on this estate for some reason yeah so there was a guy and a tesla like driving around
trying to find this charging point that like isn't there even though it says on google maps
and i was i was pulling into the street and he pulled up next to me wound his window down and was
like, is there like a charge point near here?
I'm like nearly out of battery.
I'm like kind of fucked here.
And I was like, nah.
Because I noticed that a few weeks ago that it was there on Google Maps,
but it's like on someone's house, so I don't know what it's on about.
And he was like, oh shit, do you think I could like use your charger or your house?
Because I like having an EV, so.
Yeah, you have one.
Yeah.
So I was like, yeah, sure.
Come and charge so you can actually like get where you're going.
You know, I had a little chat with him.
You were saying he had like a Nissan leaf.
Which is a convenient.
very good
electric car
but he replaced it
because of the range
or whatever
yeah so I got
to see it
like up close
and like how it
charges and stuff
and you know
he charged his car
and sort it out
a little helping hand
yeah it's good
that's
gave me a fire
and drove off
that's helpful
EV people
that that's nice
that's good
that's good
your car
a good
a good EV driver
yeah
so what do you think
do you like them
up close
do you think they're just
huge
they're very
fucking giant
very bit
they're like
the size of like a big
sedan, you know, like a big
A6. That's what I like about
the I3, it's like dinky. Yeah,
it's a dinky car, like, because
It's weird looking, it's like driving a pug around.
Yeah, because where you're, I think you've got to consider
where your house is, it's like on like
two rows that kind of, it's a bend.
So you've got the short, strong, and you've got
the house that has like a very narrow
driveway and it's like, you've got to be small.
So your BMW is very
just easy for where you live.
Yeah.
And I understand not wanting a big car
because it's like, you know, parking space is more difficult.
Yeah, I'd be happy with this little dinky car forever,
but it's just the range.
Yeah, yours is a very early EV.
So the way, it's like, it was early technology.
So the range is not the best.
Yeah, the battery's way better now.
Mine's way out of day.
I want Tesla to make like an hatchback, you know, like an I-free,
make a small car.
Yeah, I'd be down with that.
So then it's, because that was the plan.
It was like with Tesla,
all these model s's and whatnot were quite higher higher luxury tiers and the whole plan was to
make an affordable one it would be a hatchback but they just haven't and i think that's what
stopping um like evs like tesler's being more adopted is just having a model that a model that people
can buy normal people they just want convenience saying that though the the like teslas are like
just spreading like a virus like i've never seen any like a technology
just be adopted in this way.
They're everywhere. I see them every day. It's just like a trickle where it's like
oh there's a Tesla like really rarely but now it's like so common to see them and it's just
in a matter of years this has happened. Go on the motorway and you'll see a lot and it's like I
know it's not like the motor is full of cars I know it's not a lot compared to the amount
of vehicles on the road but compared to EVs, Tesla's everywhere. Yeah. And it's great.
I'm just thinking like locally like in Wiltshire like our little butt fuck lakes.
Yeah.
place, like
Right, let's do one more
This one's going long
From a TBT, ba
There are too many good questions
I need to piss now
Hi gang
I see, I'm pissing
This is more of a sort of anecdote to end it on
So
I really need to piss
I really need to piss
Oh maybe I should save it then
Because James should hear this
Yeah, I'm not like Jamie
I can piss in like a minute flat
You're already taking longer than me mate
I'll mention this one that
from Blabby McGee then while we wait for James. Hi boys, just want to say thanks for being a consistent source of laughs and comfort. I've been watching the cast since I was 15 and just started high school, and now I'm 21 in finishing college. I remember when I first started watching around episode 15, the legendary YouTube changed as. It was peak pussy diarrhea cringe era, and I once had to take a break because 15-year-old me was so scandalized by the overuse of the word pussy. I also was pranked by the fake cigarette bit and genuinely felt
disappointed in you guys for smoking LMAO thanks for getting me through school
we love you guys you're welcome you're welcome but yeah that's crazy to think that
that is crazy like this because we've grown up as much as yeah I feel like we matured a fair
amount but yeah I like to think so anyway yeah well it's been like years well if it's like a long
time like if you haven't changed in five years
like something's gone wrong yeah yeah
like it's too big of a chunk
of time like if I was like
the exact same now as I was like
the big like the first episode of jar
I think something would be better
did you hear that
changing in five years time did you flush
the toilet no because I'm I it was
all water anyway it's fine
no but
this will make no sense but I saw the car
some two years ago and it's like astonishing
how how much I've changed
just two years.
By just looking at me, it's like,
Jesus, like, things are completely different now.
And I think, yeah, if you haven't changed in five years,
you really got to look at...
Actually, I'm going to change that.
I think, during, like, your first, like, 35 years of age,
I think you don't change, you change a lot.
But it's like when you get into, like, 40, 50,
where change kind of slows down a bit.
So I think, if you're this age and you're not changing in five years,
something's probably wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah, such a tumultuous,
time just in terms of everything from like career brain development your career you're going from
like school friend groups or apprenticeships or whatever there's so much shit going on yeah it'll be
fucked up if you'd like didn't change at least in a positive way i think i'm at that age now where
i kind of feel like i'm changing like every month i'm always learning and it's like i'm always growing
as a person so like i'm meeting that age as just like progress is so so far
because I'm just maturing at that way
because, you know, I'm 20, almost 25.
When we started Jara as well,
we were at an age where you sort of think,
yep, I'm me, this is
the me for the rest of time.
Yeah, I'm 18, I've hit, like,
I'm an adult, this is it,
this is me from now.
But you're literally, you're no,
at 18, you're fucking no different being 16.
You're still that fucking
who's a kid.
It's an idiot.
Yeah, you're fucking dumbfired.
Yeah, and arguably, like,
you're constantly learning and, like,
but that's a sad.
thing a sad state is that there are people that genuinely never progress past a certain
point and never self-reflect and never learn from their mistakes and that's fucking sad especially
when you meet someone who's like in their 40s or 50s or something you can tell like oh fuck oh shit
they're still in secondary school yeah yeah yeah i like the people i broke off from from
the earlier conversation is like yeah they they're like that you know they're 25 and they're
still like fucking 18 years and it's just like
yeah as like someone who has
matured a lot it's like
I can't be around people who are like 18 mentally
it's like that's not
that's weird
it's really bizarre and it's like they're clearly
like not healthy because they're like
kids you know
yeah
thank you for watching for that long
yeah I love I love hearing
feedback like that yeah yeah so let's go back
to this one from TBT bah
hi gang
I work at a cinema and practically
every day the same old guy comes in and buys a ticket for free guy he comes in buys a ticket for a
screening an hour or more away sits around and chats with stuff he's almost unintelligible gets escorted
into the movie watches it and leaves he does the exact same thing multiple times a week one time
recently he was talking to me and then stopped mid-sentence and pointed at one of the little
promotional scenes we have these show trailers and posters in long looping video to give people an
idea of what we're showing. Anyway, he points at this and says, look at this bit, look at
this bit. And I watched as Ryan Reynolds falls down, wraps a big giant inflatable bouncy thing
around himself and bounces off a car. How does he do that? The old man said, laughing. This
convinced me that he doesn't really have any idea what a video game is, or at least doesn't
understand that free guy takes place for the most part within a video game. He doesn't
understand the central premise of free guy, a movie he's paid for and seen no less than 20 times.
estimated as it's been around 30 days since the movie came out and he only ever misses a few days every week.
Apparently he does this with whatever film is hot at the moment.
He did it with a quiet place too, jungle crews, and a bunch of things before that.
Some co-workers think he comes to us because we're pretty laid back
and because we carry his things for him.
He reminds me of a time in my teenage years where I'd watch the movie Alien at least once a day.
I did this for a week or two before forgetting to do it once and breaking the habit.
That got me thinking, are there any weird habits you guys had or
still have, not counting James's
famous hour-long wank sessions.
Just anything you do or used
to do, daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly
that has no real purpose or benefit.
Things like showering or mental health
or posture not counted since they serve
a purpose. Sorry for the long post.
Just thought you'd enjoy the story
of the old guy.
It's complete fucking bullshit.
I don't believe it.
I believe it.
But if that person is like that, I think
they've got some shit going on.
Like, there's something going on.
What's an old man?
Yeah, dementia.
No, it's just a free guy fan, man.
No, no one is seeing Free Guy that much.
And it's just like, you know, what's this?
No, you're retired, you're old as hell.
Like, what?
Why would you watch Free Guy 20 times?
You've lived through World War II and it's like,
yeah, you've lived through two world wars.
They would be dead by now, Jamie.
You've lived through the crucifixion.
Wait.
Well, no, I find that very weird.
I find it hard to believe, yeah, yeah.
But to say it's impossible, I would never.
Well, like, what have weird habits do I have?
Like, I've gone through periods in school, like, I've known,
I'm pretty sure it's like 18, like 18, 17 age where I was just like,
go to bed, listen to the same Top Gear episode every single night.
But that was like a comfort thing.
I was just like, it helps me sleep because it's something I know.
And it's like, I'm the type of person.
I watch the same videos often because it's just like,
I know what's happening.
And I think that's like this weird anxiety thing.
But the weird thing I have is like
Christmas, human after all
That Duff Punk song is a Christmas song
I don't know why
So you've made it habitual to listen to it around Christmas
Yeah, I don't know why, but it has Christmas vibes
And it's like the one year I missed it, I was just like
This isn't the same Christmas
I haven't listened to it, this is weird
A weird habit I have
I don't actually know how to explain
That well, it's um
whenever I'm like really enthused or happy with something I've done
I've got like to release the excitement by going like
or something or I've noticed you doing that
I remember during the flat era doing a hell of a lot when editing and I'm like
if I've like finished a video and then watching it and if I'm like really happy
with it like it was some weird shit like that
like a tick yeah it's definitely a tick
this calm down though that thing
like I don't really do that as much anymore but
so you do that like
yeah fun
yeah I don't know how the fuck to explain it
like it's just like I have to shake my hands
and just like pure
I don't think that's a habit thing
I think there's more going on there with that
because it's not a habit
because it's just like if you feel like you have to do
if it's something you do in response
to something else
like religiously
it's a habit
I think I don't catch
myself doing it sometimes.
I'm like, oh, it's that weird thing.
Hmm.
I see, I can't...
I have stuff like that, but I don't know what they are.
The thing with habits is that they're so habitual
that you don't think about doing them.
Like, yeah, I got nothing
because I find it really hard to think about habits I have
or routines I keep to
because it's just the chaos of the rat race of life.
Mm.
Mm.
Oh
Our hour
Well on that
I think it's time
To end the show
That was instant nasty
Yeah instant nasty
Oh we didn't even chat about instant nasty
Two fucking hours
Of instant nasty
A bit less
Yeah a bit less
Yeah a break in the middle there
Was it longer than nine minutes
Yeah
We're doing shits
We were making drinks
We were fucking doing pushups
Yeah
Why the fuck did you just do that
He just fingered my
ear? Really?
Don't do that with mine, man.
It's bad in there. Really? Yeah.
You know, I've got an app with like this little
dealy where you could, it's got like a micro
camera on it so you can see in your ear.
What the fuck? I want to go
to one of these. There's like a tenor on Amazon. What the fuck?
I want to go to one of these micro camera
doctors and they like pull shit out your ear.
I just get this thing off Amazon, I'm telling you. No, but I can't
I wouldn't be able to do that myself.
They've got like a special hook.
I don't want James to do it for. Yeah, it can be like
a disgusting intro for,
Oh my god.
No, you'd have to do it for my ear
If you want like that Z-Most
Does he use Q-tips at all?
No, I don't use anything.
Oh, really?
Because apparently Q-tips make it worse
Yeah, yeah, it builds up.
Yeah. I've never used them
And I'm not going to.
Because it's pollution.
Why do I need to throw this fucking process shit
In the bin that's going to end up in the ocean?
I'm going to process your shit and put it in the bin.
It does get processed and put in the bin.
I don't flush it a whole lot.
I pick it up and with their hands
And if I can put it in the pen.
Yeah.
