Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:47 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...
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:45 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,
Starting point is 00:02:04 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
Starting point is 00:02:17 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...
Starting point is 00:02:31 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,
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:04 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.
Starting point is 00:03:18 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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
Starting point is 00:04:29 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
Starting point is 00:04:45 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
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:23 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.
Starting point is 00:07:41 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
Starting point is 00:08:02 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
Starting point is 00:08:19 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
Starting point is 00:08:36 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
Starting point is 00:08:49 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
Starting point is 00:09:03 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
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:33 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?
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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
Starting point is 00:10:20 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
Starting point is 00:10:35 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.
Starting point is 00:10:52 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.
Starting point is 00:11:07 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.
Starting point is 00:11:17 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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
Starting point is 00:12:02 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
Starting point is 00:12:24 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
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:46 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.
Starting point is 00:12:57 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.
Starting point is 00:13:12 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
Starting point is 00:13:27 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
Starting point is 00:13:36 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:34 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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
Starting point is 00:15:03 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
Starting point is 00:15:19 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
Starting point is 00:15:34 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
Starting point is 00:15:53 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 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
Starting point is 00:16:28 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
Starting point is 00:16:38 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
Starting point is 00:16:53 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
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:21 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.
Starting point is 00:17:36 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.
Starting point is 00:17:51 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,
Starting point is 00:18:11 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.
Starting point is 00:18:28 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
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:26 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.
Starting point is 00:19:51 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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.
Starting point is 00:20:16 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
Starting point is 00:20:57 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:21:34 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?
Starting point is 00:21:50 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
Starting point is 00:22:18 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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
Starting point is 00:22:39 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
Starting point is 00:22:50 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
Starting point is 00:23:03 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
Starting point is 00:23:16 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
Starting point is 00:23:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:35 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,
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:07 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...
Starting point is 00:25:21 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.
Starting point is 00:25:36 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
Starting point is 00:25:50 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
Starting point is 00:26:07 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
Starting point is 00:26:23 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
Starting point is 00:26:40 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:14 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
Starting point is 00:27:28 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
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:23 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.
Starting point is 00:28:50 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.
Starting point is 00:29:15 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.
Starting point is 00:29:35 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
Starting point is 00:29:49 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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...
Starting point is 00:30:19 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:31:03 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
Starting point is 00:31:54 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
Starting point is 00:32:36 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.
Starting point is 00:32:52 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
Starting point is 00:33:08 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
Starting point is 00:33:24 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.
Starting point is 00:33:39 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.
Starting point is 00:33:56 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
Starting point is 00:34:15 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
Starting point is 00:34:27 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
Starting point is 00:34:52 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.
Starting point is 00:35:14 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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
Starting point is 00:36:05 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
Starting point is 00:36:20 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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
Starting point is 00:36:44 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
Starting point is 00:36:57 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
Starting point is 00:37:12 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
Starting point is 00:37:24 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
Starting point is 00:37:37 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
Starting point is 00:37:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:55 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
Starting point is 00:38:08 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
Starting point is 00:38:24 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
Starting point is 00:38:40 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
Starting point is 00:38:55 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
Starting point is 00:39:11 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
Starting point is 00:39:25 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
Starting point is 00:39:44 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
Starting point is 00:40:05 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
Starting point is 00:40:42 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.
Starting point is 00:41:05 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.
Starting point is 00:41:19 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
Starting point is 00:41:46 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.
Starting point is 00:42:06 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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
Starting point is 00:42:41 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
Starting point is 00:42:50 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
Starting point is 00:43:06 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
Starting point is 00:43:34 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,
Starting point is 00:43:50 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
Starting point is 00:44:05 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
Starting point is 00:44:18 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
Starting point is 00:44:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:49 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?
Starting point is 00:45:17 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
Starting point is 00:45:39 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
Starting point is 00:45:54 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
Starting point is 00:46:07 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
Starting point is 00:46:19 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
Starting point is 00:46:34 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
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
Starting point is 00:47:33 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.
Starting point is 00:47:46 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
Starting point is 00:48:03 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
Starting point is 00:48:16 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
Starting point is 00:48:52 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
Starting point is 00:48:58 it's just like okay James you're gonna have so many squatters just living junkies in your house no but obviously
Starting point is 00:49:06 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
Starting point is 00:49:13 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.
Starting point is 00:49:26 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?
Starting point is 00:49:49 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. Welcome to the second half of the cast where we answer questions from the jar. Subreddit, head over to the suggestion thread and leave us comments.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Just saying whatever you want, you know, any question you like about whatever is just tingling in your brain. Even if it's wacky, if it's kind of interesting, or if it's really personal. We like them all. Except role plays. 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?
Starting point is 00:50:41 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
Starting point is 00:51:20 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
Starting point is 00:51:36 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
Starting point is 00:51:52 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
Starting point is 00:52:11 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.
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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
Starting point is 00:53:28 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
Starting point is 00:53:44 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
Starting point is 00:54:02 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
Starting point is 00:54:19 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
Starting point is 00:54:37 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
Starting point is 00:54:53 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
Starting point is 00:55:08 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?
Starting point is 00:55:20 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
Starting point is 00:55:35 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
Starting point is 00:55:46 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
Starting point is 00:56:02 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
Starting point is 00:56:25 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,
Starting point is 00:56:59 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.
Starting point is 00:57:51 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
Starting point is 00:58:16 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
Starting point is 00:58:28 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
Starting point is 00:58:43 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
Starting point is 00:58:57 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
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:49 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.
Starting point is 01:00:03 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
Starting point is 01:00:16 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
Starting point is 01:00:28 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
Starting point is 01:00:40 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
Starting point is 01:00:57 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...
Starting point is 01:01:17 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,
Starting point is 01:01:29 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
Starting point is 01:02:05 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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
Starting point is 01:02:40 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
Starting point is 01:03:24 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.
Starting point is 01:03:51 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
Starting point is 01:04:10 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
Starting point is 01:04:25 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
Starting point is 01:04:37 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
Starting point is 01:04:46 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
Starting point is 01:04:57 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
Starting point is 01:05:12 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
Starting point is 01:05:30 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.
Starting point is 01:05:40 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,
Starting point is 01:05:53 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...
Starting point is 01:06:04 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.
Starting point is 01:06:22 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
Starting point is 01:06:46 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
Starting point is 01:07:01 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.
Starting point is 01:07:16 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,
Starting point is 01:07:34 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
Starting point is 01:07:50 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
Starting point is 01:08:14 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.
Starting point is 01:08:42 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
Starting point is 01:09:05 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
Starting point is 01:09:14 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
Starting point is 01:09:25 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.
Starting point is 01:09:36 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.
Starting point is 01:10:02 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.
Starting point is 01:10:22 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
Starting point is 01:10:36 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
Starting point is 01:10:43 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
Starting point is 01:10:51 I'm never going back Yeah Fuck you No But the thing is English people love that They love fucking Retherspoons and Gregs
Starting point is 01:10:57 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
Starting point is 01:11:06 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.
Starting point is 01:11:37 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
Starting point is 01:12:08 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
Starting point is 01:12:20 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
Starting point is 01:12:29 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.
Starting point is 01:12:42 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...
Starting point is 01:12:53 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.
Starting point is 01:13:12 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.
Starting point is 01:13:28 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...
Starting point is 01:13:44 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
Starting point is 01:14:02 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
Starting point is 01:14:30 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
Starting point is 01:14:51 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?
Starting point is 01:15:08 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.
Starting point is 01:15:26 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
Starting point is 01:15:43 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
Starting point is 01:15:57 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.
Starting point is 01:16:11 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
Starting point is 01:16:32 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
Starting point is 01:16:44 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
Starting point is 01:16:56 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
Starting point is 01:17:07 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
Starting point is 01:17:25 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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
Starting point is 01:18:29 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.
Starting point is 01:19:17 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.
Starting point is 01:19:38 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
Starting point is 01:19:59 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
Starting point is 01:20:16 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,
Starting point is 01:20:28 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.
Starting point is 01:20:38 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,
Starting point is 01:20:44 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.
Starting point is 01:20:54 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
Starting point is 01:21:21 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.
Starting point is 01:22:05 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.
Starting point is 01:22:15 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
Starting point is 01:22:26 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?
Starting point is 01:22:42 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.
Starting point is 01:23:06 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
Starting point is 01:23:30 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
Starting point is 01:23:46 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.
Starting point is 01:23:58 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.
Starting point is 01:24:19 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
Starting point is 01:24:55 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
Starting point is 01:25:12 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
Starting point is 01:25:37 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
Starting point is 01:26:14 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
Starting point is 01:26:31 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,
Starting point is 01:26:48 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?
Starting point is 01:27:09 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.
Starting point is 01:27:22 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.
Starting point is 01:27:40 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
Starting point is 01:28:16 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.
Starting point is 01:28:36 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
Starting point is 01:29:08 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
Starting point is 01:29:27 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
Starting point is 01:29:38 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.
Starting point is 01:29:52 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
Starting point is 01:30:08 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
Starting point is 01:30:31 100 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,
Starting point is 01:31:00 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.
Starting point is 01:31:15 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,
Starting point is 01:31:30 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
Starting point is 01:31:46 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
Starting point is 01:32:17 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
Starting point is 01:32:26 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
Starting point is 01:32:35 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
Starting point is 01:32:46 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
Starting point is 01:32:59 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
Starting point is 01:33:11 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
Starting point is 01:33:42 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
Starting point is 01:34:00 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
Starting point is 01:34:14 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.
Starting point is 01:34:28 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.
Starting point is 01:34:41 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,
Starting point is 01:34:55 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,
Starting point is 01:35:08 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...
Starting point is 01:35:22 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
Starting point is 01:35:34 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
Starting point is 01:35:47 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
Starting point is 01:35:59 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
Starting point is 01:36:11 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,
Starting point is 01:36:18 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,
Starting point is 01:36:26 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
Starting point is 01:36:34 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
Starting point is 01:36:40 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
Starting point is 01:37:19 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.
Starting point is 01:37:46 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.
Starting point is 01:38:02 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
Starting point is 01:38:14 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
Starting point is 01:38:22 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
Starting point is 01:38:29 that that's nice that's good that's good your car a good a good EV driver yeah so what do you think
Starting point is 01:38:35 do you like them up close do you think they're just huge they're very fucking giant very bit they're like
Starting point is 01:38:41 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
Starting point is 01:38:57 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
Starting point is 01:39:12 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.
Starting point is 01:39:31 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
Starting point is 01:39:59 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.
Starting point is 01:40:33 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
Starting point is 01:40:48 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
Starting point is 01:40:59 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
Starting point is 01:41:58 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
Starting point is 01:42:17 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
Starting point is 01:42:34 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.
Starting point is 01:42:52 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
Starting point is 01:43:18 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
Starting point is 01:43:44 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.
Starting point is 01:43:56 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
Starting point is 01:44:22 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
Starting point is 01:44:42 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
Starting point is 01:44:58 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
Starting point is 01:45:32 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.
Starting point is 01:46:10 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
Starting point is 01:46:34 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.
Starting point is 01:46:50 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.
Starting point is 01:47:02 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.
Starting point is 01:47:20 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,
Starting point is 01:47:42 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
Starting point is 01:48:01 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
Starting point is 01:48:19 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
Starting point is 01:48:49 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
Starting point is 01:49:08 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
Starting point is 01:49:23 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
Starting point is 01:49:36 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
