Good afternoon, morning, evening or night, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the jar media cast.
It's the cast.
You get the word podcast.
Yeah, I'm so used to it being corn, but I've forgotten.
This is actually the jar cast.
We are back.
This is episode 201.
No.
10.
Just episode 2.10.
And today, we are joined by...
The not creator of, um, PD. Piss a dick.
And we've got Piss a dick himself.
Um, it's funny you say that.
I've got an announcement to make.
I'm Jamie, by the way.
What's your announcement?
Um...
We've been sort of...
we've been putting the blame of piss-a-dick on James and I'm coming forward now I created
piss-a-dick I am really heartfelt hearing this acknowledgement coming from you and the the
shackles of piss-a-dick is no longer being attached to me and ruining my mind my health and my
life I'm very thankful yeah it was actually Jim who made the uh the song on man-man-boy
boy piss-a-d-d- yeah it was me every everything everything was me i i created it all the whole
farce but did you create the piss-a-dick dance no that was you anyway i'd like to do a quick shout-out
to the patreon's over at patreon for helping support the so and as you might see we do actually have
camera and you know this was seen in our recent video walk hashtag one yeah we should
start there I guess we've been playing around this new camera it's the Canon C100
mark two it's not like a new camera anything it's like five years old yep but I
don't see the point in buying and buying like brand new video tech like it's
new to us it's new to us yeah it's an upgrade from our 5d which should be
camera B. We've had the 5D
for like a bloody long time though, haven't
me? Yeah, very long time. It's done us good, but
you need a video camera, really?
Yeah, for sure. The reason
we segmented the show into the
30 minute things with the
coming back after these messages.
It's a technological
restrictions. Exactly, yeah, because the
Canon 5D can only record for
30 minutes at a time, as most
DSLRs can only
do, so it makes sense to it. Can
canonically can only do
but the video camera now can
it can go for as long as the
it goes as long as ever like the walk
it was like
we were out a good time and we were practically filming
quite non-stop yeah and I'm
by no means an expert with it
or any of this stuff so
if the lighting's a bit fucked or
we're still like getting our groups of it
learning what's the walk video was like
the first time I've ever seen it
and I you know it's shake his hell
for the first two-thirds of it
and I kind of only figured out
how to use it towards the end
but that's the process
eh
yeah and we're constantly trying to
you know upgrade the set and as as you can
see actually
we're in a new spot
if you're watching the video one
on video I'd recommend having this video one
to be honest
so tell us what you think
yeah and uh we're looking to
change the setup of it
and uh yeah by this is
by no means a
permanent fixture
this is just how it is for now
it's the it's we're now
naturally evolving as we always have we're just uh finding what's one of the best things about
joe i reckon yeah we're natural you could say we started from the bottom
now we're here we really did start from the bottom and now we're here we're evolving we're adapting
yeah we're on the staircase to that's the thing about um podcast or video podcast or hell
whatever you want to call it you know as long as the audio quality is good you can kind of do
whatever you want with the video.
Yeah.
Like,
we've done some, like,
ridiculous episodes where the angle is just some complete BS.
Yeah.
Shout out to the,
uh,
the division review we did.
I forgot about that.
That's the worst thing.
That's probably,
it's probably the worst job video just as,
as far as the camera angle goes.
But we've,
we've just played one of it.
It's like,
we use the video element well.
We actually don't,
we're not,
we're not generic.
We actually use.
the video come
yeah I figure
you know get out of here
Joe Rogan
you're saying
yeah when does he do an episode
where he's upside down
or lying on the floor
or anything funny
yeah
it's all too serious
he just gets you know
boring idiots like Elon Musk
yeah
and like Robert Downey Jr
yeah
who wants to hear what he is
to say
no one
see if it was actually iron man
I'd actually
might be a little interested
I hear that
not what Robin Downey
so yeah that's what
that's what you know
the page on money
we use that
to try and, yeah.
So thank you for the support and, uh, good one.
I suppose the next thing we have to talk about is the whole quarantine side,
because I'm sure there are some people looking at the video and sweating and getting angry.
What, these three British lads are actually not one meter apart?
This is not good.
So can someone explain the new rules in the UK?
Because every country's doing it a bit differently with the way they're handling quarantine and social distancing.
It's like since day one of quarantine, like every country's been really different and England's now decided that it is okay to allow two households, so that's two different households to be in like one area.
In your like bubble effectively.
So before the new rules are implemented, you're allowed one of the household in my bubble, which I chose Jim's.
Yes.
And now James is able to come over as well.
but and yeah along with um pubs and restaurants opening yeah we we kind of get the vibe
that the people of the UK don't really care anymore which is kind of concerning absolutely
I mean to be honest don't get attached to this because it's very this it's a possibility that
we go in for way to nice at the moment with it yeah yeah but we're trying to be as you know
we're not being like dumb we're we're making sure to clean our hands just do basic you know stuff
yeah for sure so we're not and I mean me and James
kiss so much, we probably both have it
anyway. Yeah, so it's like, it doesn't
bother us. You kiss James?
Oh shit, is that some weird like
incest through James?
I gotta say, it's also...
It's kind of weird doing this in person.
It's strange. How many months has it been?
We've done 14 episodes or so of Corncast
over Discord.
So we started in about late March
early April.
Yeah.
most of the years already gone
that's the most like messed up thing
like I want to get a refund on my time
he's got we've missed out on so much stuff
and now we're going to have to wait
we're not going to be able to leave the country
for who knows how long
well we
technically you can
people have been going on holiday to Spain
no but England's on the dumb thing where
if you go to a lowest country
say like France you know Spain maybe like that
I was looking at a graph
and France is really high
is it
I haven't actually heard, like, France has not been mentioned.
I think recently they have spiked above us.
Christ.
I might be wrong there, but the three worst countries were France, England and the USA,
the USA being way above everyone else.
And I think we'll continue to be way above everything.
Everyone else thought of a lot of time.
Yeah, because they're doing nothing.
Yeah.
So obviously it's just the three of us know, Ruben, unfortunately.
We're trying to think of some way we can get Rubin involved in an extra video or something,
but we can't really think of an exact way to take it.
Because we don't just want to do like another jar cast.
It doesn't make sense to...
No.
It might be 100% Dark Souls 2 related.
Everything we do with Ruben.
Yeah.
Yeah, we'll have to just experiment or whatever, do some.
I figure like we'll definitely want his input when Halo Infinite comes out.
For sure.
Stuff like that.
you know, he's available on Discord, but...
You know, we're constantly changing, so...
Yeah, it might come up, might not,
we'll let everyone know when we get to that stage.
You had a topic, James.
I did.
This fits in line of what we've been talking about.
I have, because, you know, quarantine,
this is the biggest change that's ever happened in our lives,
without a doubt.
Like, we've never known life to be like this,
you know, from going from, you know,
a kind of carefree life to being, like,
denied almost everything and my question is with this how are you has quarantine like shown you
anything about your life that you're going to change like moving forward outside of quarantine
because I say this because over quarantine I've noticed so much bad like because I'm viewing
it completely as a reset like we're never going to get a chance like this so we should take
advantage of that and look at ourselves and know that maybe I'm not exercising enough,
eating enough, doing whatever we've got insecure about. It's the only chance we're going
to get to see that and have the hindsight to change. And that's how I've taken this whole thing.
Because I've had one major, like, change in my life. I had that mindset. And it's done me really
well. So now I'm taking this challenge as something I've got to overcome and become better.
I just want to know how you guys have seen it.
Jim
I've got something
hanging
for
um
well it's it's
it's nice to be justified
in being afraid
of every pedestrian
that you walk past
um
yeah
you know everyone behaves
like the way
I already behaved
yeah yeah like crossing the street
when a fucking 80 year old woman
it's coming towards you
like yeah
I don't want to have to take her
across the road and help her
yeah yeah
I want to just
be my own dude
well I
I've always been an introvert for sure.
I think we all are very, very introverted.
Absolutely.
But it's...
We're the Reddit generation.
Yeah, that's the thing.
But it's crazy how much...
Even being an introvert,
you really miss physical interaction.
Yeah.
When it's taken away, like, completely.
Because I haven't been able to work throughout all of this.
I haven't been
obviously able to come here
and record a jarcast every week
when it was bad
we'd only see each other
when we very occasionally went on a dog walk
where we were out and we could distance properly
well we did what two
we did two yeah we went out twice I think
yeah I'm recording one of them
and like when you consider that's weeks
where you don't see anyone else
I joined family like that's like Christ
that's like the fucking bloodline
that's the only thing it gets to be honest
it's probably the longest amount
time we've gone without seeing each other
because we've done the job cards for so many years
we've all every week we've missed weeks here and there
but I mean going even back into school
I mean obviously you're my brother so
it's definitely the longest time I've not seen you
yeah and like school
over summer holidays we'd see each other maybe
back in the early days before we were like proper bike wide kids
every week yeah we'd only do that like once every
fucking month maybe yeah no but it got to a point where
secondary school mostly sort of midway through secondary school for us it was we'd see each other
every day at school and then on the weekend as well yeah every day it was like yeah and then
summer holiday it was at least once a week yeah we were constantly doing stuff and it stayed that
way up to quarantine practically and that didn't change at all yeah there was a there was a short phase
when you were working at a place I did we bad schedule yeah yeah it felt like that that that
In another universe, your life just totally, like, separated from ours.
But luckily, we started JAR.
Yeah.
And that really brought us back together.
Because it was like, I fucking worked a long distance away, and I lived there.
So it's just like I was never home.
I couldn't play games with you.
It was just, I was gone.
And then it was suddenly like, jar happened.
And then it was just like, after fucking work, I'd ride back an hour.
And then we stay in, like, stay till, like, 2 in the morning, whatever, like, doing JAR.
Can you imagine if quarantine hit,
like in the 80s how excruciating it would have been without the internet it would
have been yeah bad so bad well imagine like um what was the the Spanish plague or
Spanish flu sorry mm-hmm I don't know what sort restrictions they had or if they
just let people I don't know them back in the plague days it was just like you
fucking locked in your house so I couldn't leave like you couldn't
Because your medical science was just so, so much worse than it is now.
Yeah.
But going back to James' question, I don't know.
Like, I feel like the quarantine months have been like a roller coaster where there are chunks where I was like just incredibly unhealthy and unmotivated.
Yeah, I'm the same.
But then it got like so bad that for like the second half of quarantine, I was like, you know what?
I'm going to start like exercising and eating a bit better.
Yeah.
I'm putting push-ups.
So I'm seeing this weird, like, change with my body
where I'm just for the first time
having a bit of strength,
which is quite a weird thing to experience.
For someone who's always been so pathetic.
Yeah, mine's practically the shame.
Same, not shame, same.
Because I've always been, like, skinny.
Like, you look at the early jars.
I'm fucking thin, and you're quite thin as well, actually.
Yeah, I both were.
And I've always been thin
because I've had a fast metabolism, I guess,
where it's just always been difficult.
I cannot put on weight.
I eat fucking 10 bags of cookies in a day.
I'll weigh the fucking same.
You know that all that gunks
is clogging my fucking veins and arteries.
It just goes straight out.
Yeah, you can tell I ate eight cookies yesterday.
Really?
It shows, man.
And like, at the start of quarantine,
my whole thing was that,
because I have the worst schedule of work on a, you know, normal life.
I get up, I leave.
I don't eat breakfast.
And I eat at like 1 o'clock.
That's fucking bad.
off the offset that's such a bad way yeah and at first quarantine taught me that
i've got time in the mornings i need to actually have like a breakfast like something good to actually
start the day and it got gradual like over time like for the first like month to the second
month i noticed like i i raid myself for like the first time in in two years you know from the
time i you know i went from my bad like depression part where i was like seven stone or something
ridiculous yeah i raid myself and i was fucking 11 so that's like that was a big jump
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're a six-foot fella.
Yeah.
Seven stone's really unhealthy.
I was fucking shot with that I weighed 11.
I was really happy because it's just like I've always like felt so skinny and frail.
And I'm like 11.
That's a, that's my beginning to get into a really healthy weight.
And over time when, because with quarantine, I don't know about you, but I went through like dips.
I was just like I'm so fucking depressed.
I'm so unhappy now because of...
I found it was worse at first when we just didn't know what we're dealing with.
We had no idea of the sky.
get used to it to a certain degree it's really odd like it just becomes normal life yeah um
but it also makes life worse because every day it is the same yeah yeah and like my whole
worry of quarantine is i know i know that if i my mind's not being really occupied of work
i will my my mental state will crash because i that's like my yeah like antidepressant
almost of my the way my mind deals of it is once i'm busy i'm happy because i know i'm always
my mind's occupied so I don't have time to think so when I'm at working from home and I'm
not in the workplace I'm at my desk and that's how I play games that's where I like do everything
so just being at my desk like fucking not doing anything just really put my mind in a bad way
because it wasn't occupied and just over time it was just like oh this week's fine this week isn't
this week's fine and then just like listening to podcasts and I just decided one day
because I've obviously got Gaius and he's been at home this whole time that I'm just going to
walk guys on my lunch breaks
put a podcast on just listen to
podcast walk and after
doing that I just felt so much better
get some vitamin D
yeah I just felt really good and then it's just like
oh I'm gonna run a bit
to just get the blood pumping it you just feel so
refreshed and then I started to look at
how I'm actually going to go out of quarantine
and I want to
be like a lot healthier
be a lot fitter because
sitting at your desk like being a
being in an office
I'm on my seat all day
I go home I play games on my seat
so it's not good for my back
it's not good for anything
so at like 10 in the morning
I'd just be like I'm just gonna go plank
because with plank in it
you're using your back
you're keeping your back in a really good posture
just to help with that
and then that kind of caught on
and it was just like if I'm doing this
maybe I should add sit-ups into it
and then like in my lunch break
I'd think oh
maybe I should have better food
so it's got to the point where
like every lunch break I'm eating a really good meal
for no rice and chicken and vegetables that help
it's you know bulking kind of food
and then but I'd also work out in that time like 50 sit-ups
you know leg raises what have you
and then since then
I felt so much better in life
I feel so good like in the afternoon
I'm so focused on work
because I just feel so fucking good
and it's taken for
fucking quarantine to me to realize
I need to make that change
exercise endorphins cannot be
overlooked
I know this is advice
where like anyone who's got to pressure everything
the advice is always exercise
and I ignored that
at the time but it
it does fucking work because you feel so
good so good and so
fresh yeah and then you just don't
worry about a thing because your mind's just so focused
on exercise and eating well
but exercise doesn't even necessarily mean
you know like a running or anything yeah just go for like an hour long walk yeah that's that's what
that's the biggest change for me um i've never worked a job that isn't active in some way like like i have
you know because i've gone from active jobs of working on cars and heavy lifting to yeah to
to sitting at desk whereas mine has always been like lifting and moving around or simply just
not sitting yeah and then going from doing that for years
to sitting all day to every day all I've really got is my computer I have forced myself to
almost every day go for a walk and just explore the town and like early on in quarantine you just
it was just like an empty town and you got to what I got to like find out all these roots and
stuff it's yeah map out this town in my head which has been really satisfying
but yeah when it when it comes to exercise well because I I moved back in with my
parents because you used to work live on site yeah I lived where I worked so at the
start of quarantine I moved back with my parents and one of the first things that
happened was I was sat at the table this was like a month into quarantine into
lockdown and my mom was like
what the fuck you look fat
she said she said she said she like
poked my belly and was like what is this
mum and I was like
that is brutal that is brutal
that's some like uh eating disorder
I know I know
and I was like come on
you're eating like tiffing every day
you're eating all these chocolate bars and shit
don't fucking get on me about this
so uh we're gonna have to get her on here
and have a go to yeah for sure
no doubt
um
but yeah I've
It is weird how much, just one comment from a significant person in your life, like,
just put something in the back of your head.
So now, you had a bag of, what are they called, squashies, squidgiums.
Squishums or whatever.
Nobody actually names.
Because I thought they were called like squidgiums.
I thought they were called squidgems.
No, because every time we talk about it, we refer to them differently, it's like squishies, squishies.
I'm pretty sure they are squashies, which is the worst name out of all.
Quijums is so much better.
Especially when they're named after drumstick.
The fucking most dumbass name.
Yeah, drumstick squidgums.
What's the point?
Have you seen you can get like cupcake ones now?
Yeah.
You can get ice cream.
Really?
Yes.
There's not going to be like a fucking T-Mose steak so I don't fucking want it.
But I've always been a really bad binger.
We all have.
In terms of what?
In terms of food.
Oh, tell me about it.
Like your portions are you even.
of normal food is like fucking huge.
But I will, I will intentionally, if I know I've got something to, my stomach is rumbling
right now, because we're talking about this.
Yeah, I'm big binger.
Jim, big binger.
We've all big bingers.
But I've always been the biggest binger.
Yeah, like there's a point when I eat food, but I'm like, I can't eat this, but Jim would
just keep going and not stop.
Yeah, and funnily enough.
I don't know if I mentioned it on one of the corncasts
but I ate to the point where I forced myself to vomit
Yeah
I made this past... I do that quite regularly to be honest
What? For real? Yeah, I'd say at least once a month
I've never done that. You eat so much that like
You just vomit
Yeah
I get a gag reflex way before then where my foe just won't accept it
It'll just be like, no James, this is not this is not go time
Yeah, the way I see it is like
You've got to make the most
of um just the deliciousness of food yeah so i made this pasta dish um way way later than i should
have done and i just kept eating kept eating and you know when you have pasta and you're boiling it
it looks like there is way less in there yeah because it like it expands that's why i always
measure it in a bowl first because then you i'll be like yeah that's that's smart but um no i always
like pour some in and then look at it and think
Nah, that's not enough
And then Paul Morant
And you've got like two portions
Yeah, so then I've got like three portions
And I don't want to waste it
Because
See, that's why you just put it in the fridge and have it for the next day
No, like if it's not a properly made
pasta thing
Then it's going to be bad the next day
You know?
See, I don't know
Reheated like pasta sauce is pretty good
No, but pat cold though
We can have cold as well.
No, not the way.
You see, I'm just, I do things my own way.
Anyway, in my head, it was like, I have to eat this.
I have to eat all of it tonight.
So I ate, I was full.
I was like, there's still an entire bowl full here.
I'll continue eating.
And so then a couple hours later, I just have to vomit.
And this bright red tomato sauce fucking guns shooting out my mouth.
So I think I'm dying of some, like, yeah.
some stomach ulcer or something
like one pound
one comment it just
it makes you be like oh fuck
well I did that after the comment
actually maybe as like a fuck you mum
I'll do what I won
I'm 22 now
I'm gonna have blood pasta
I'm 23 now
yes this will be going up on your
on my birthday
go on sing
Happy birthday
To Jamie
Happy birthday
To Jamie
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
To Jamie
Happy birthday
To Jim
How does it feel to be
20 fucking free
I'm the youngest
I'm the youngest
How does it feel to be the youngest here?
Yeah, yeah the youngest
How does it feel to be the youngest here?
Baby boy
Kind of cringe
Anyway back to the past
The story
That was the actual moment for me
Where I was like
I've got to sort this out
Because I
I would wake up and look in the mirror
And be like
Hmm
I ain't bad
And then before I go to bed
I'd look in the mirror and be like
What the fuck is this in front of me
That's not fair there
Because you'll be so bloated
Yeah exactly
I was so, yeah, so now I'm trying to sort of give everything more of like a baseline.
Yeah, normal portions, yeah, portion and hello fresh that you're familiar with has really helped with that.
Like, I will.
It's not a sponsorship, by the way.
No, it's not.
Or if they want a sponsor.
Yeah, please.
Gmail.
Please.
Yeah, hello fresh.
So they give you these portions and they deliver all the, you.
the ingredients and give you a recipe yeah they're good so then that's my dinner i i tend to eat
quite late like seven eight o'clock even and then three hours later brush my teeth without
eating anything else no dessert brush my teeth that's the end of it no more food yeah as soon as
you brush your teeth that should be the end yeah in your in your head even if you're a bit
hungry but you brush your teeth to me that just gets rid of the hunger yeah because it's like
You just don't have a choice
You can't brush again
No
brushing again
That's way too much work
Yeah and you'll be scrubbing off
All that enamel
It's just bad idea all around
Yeah for sure
I agree
Especially you're eating after brushing your teeth
Have you ever done that
It's just horrifying
Oh have you ever drank like orange juice
Oh that's the worst
After brushing your teeth
It's the worst idea as well
Why would you just clean your teeth
And it's acidic
Yeah like the sweetest
Acidic
Yeah
Have you guys got the sensitive teeth thing where you, if you put ice cream in your teeth, it like really hurts.
I can't have ice cream.
I don't have that at all.
I can like anything on it.
It's a sign of, um, like, poorly managed teeth.
Enamel going down, I guess.
Yeah, like sensitive teeth.
Well, I won't deny.
I won't deny.
If I eat ice cream, it's like agonizing pain.
I just, ah!
Well, I mean, I don't tend to bite into ice cream anyway.
Depends what ice cream is.
Really, I like...
I like biting into ice cream knowing that it's not going to be over sensitive.
Because I use a little teaspoon with a Ben and Jerry's tub and just get through.
Yeah, I'm not going to bite into a Ben and Jerry's cup.
No, but it's just like, let's say you've got a chalk ice.
Yeah, you've got a classic ice.
I'm not going to have a chalk ice.
I'm not six.
Oreo cookie coated in chocolate.
Big one of ice cream in the middle.
Boom.
Never had one of those.
They're good.
And then you bite into them, you got bite them.
You can't lick.
But no, what I like to do with ice cream is you get it on a little.
teaspoon, use your tongue to sort of crush it against the roof your mouth.
Oh, I just go, and then you get brain freeze.
Don't get brain freeze. I just get teeth. My brain is, there's no connection there
anyway, so I don't get brain freeze. You got no brain to freeze.
Damn.
Jakes.
Can we quickly move on to this topic?
Shoot.
So, JAR Media Reddit, brilliant place.
It's getting better by the day.
It's hilarious.
There's loads of really funny memes on them.
The memes are just, they're just, I don't know how it's going to start.
Every, every couple of weeks, I will just specifically go on Reddit to look at Jar Reddit.
An important place.
I'm never disappointed.
I really like, um...
That's because you're on the cast.
Maybe.
Um, no, but my current favorite thing I found on there was, uh, someone had put my face onto a character.
from Metal Gear Rising Revengers.
Yeah, I saw them.
Well, you better have seen it.
I put it in the group chat.
You love that image.
You send it away.
I really like it.
Because that game's awesome, by the way.
You should play it.
But, um...
No, there's something I specifically want to address from the Reddit.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What was it?
There seems to be a meme of...
That I bully James on the cast.
Really?
Yeah.
The, um, whenever James speaks, I...
I will butt in and attack and put James down.
I just wanted your guy's opinion on this.
Do you think...
I think James gives it as good as he gets.
Yeah.
I'd agree with that.
That's my take.
I'd say James gives it to everyone as well.
I don't stop.
It's equal.
You're a true communist.
It's all equal.
Yeah.
But it's just like...
the level of feedback depends on which cast member James is you know throwing fire at
yeah and there there there is a unique relationship between me and James specifically i think
because we've i'd agree yeah we've got a rich backstory we've got like a betrayal uh yeah it's
it's like a i consider it almost like a it's almost like a weird form of like competitive
it's like a competitive thing to me
where it's like
one of you comes into a room
there's a certain level of energy
and then the other one comes in
and then it becomes a game of
like just energy just going up
up up up who's going to take it
to that level yeah take today for example
like we were
I was here
an hour or two before James
yeah
pretty level headed
yeah it's when it's Tesco
standard normal
Jamie.
It's normal, actually normal.
Yeah, and then James turns up
and just like a switch flicks.
I'm like Paisley
when another human or a dog
turns up at your house.
You're saying you're a golden retriever.
Yeah, I'm a golden retriever
and James is my trigger.
My trigger is Jamie.
It's so steep, and it just
become...
It's like if people actually saw
behind the scenes of normal life,
people get it.
It's just like,
It doesn't end
No, and also
Not even behind the scenes
Just in the scenes
The amount of times you've smacked me
That is not equal
I think the bullying
Should reverse in the memes
Yeah, if Jal Media shitpost was still around
They'd probably make a compilation of all the times
James slap someone
Yeah, and it bloody hurts
James is like perfect at the yard
No, it genuinely like really fucking hurts
and that's a that's a long-running thing
like way way that's so long
your special move yeah
my my ability
Jesus Christ
oh it's weird
it's just
I don't know how to explain it
it's just this weird unique thing
you just have to be there
yeah
it's just like it's not even that it's like
when we think the same way
so certain things we do
the exact same thing
at the exact same time
and there are these
such deep rooted memes
between us
like like bare
that goes back man
that's old school
yeah
I can't I actually can't pinpoint
the original moment
I know exactly the exact moment
I know exactly what it is
really
yeah
yeah
something you can say on the cast
yeah we had a friend
that would do an impression
of SpongeBob laughing.
Fuck, yeah.
So then James took it,
took this impression
and turned it into
because you were like mocking the idea
and doing the impression of SpongeBob, yeah.
Because he'd asked me to be like,
do a SpongeBob impression into my guy,
just go,
yeah, it evolved into that
and it's become its own thing.
It's like, it's become a perfect thing
because if you're about to do something dumb
in the game or anything,
you just go,
Or if you're about to push someone into a river.
It's its own thing.
Yeah.
But it's like, there's some stuff that you don't get, that only me and Jim get.
Like, nobody gets it at me and Jim.
What don't I get?
It's hard to think of them.
No, but, I understand, but it's just, you know.
There's some that they're not aware of.
They just don't get where we're coming from.
There's, like, truly old school.
honestly thinking about it even the
arm slap
could potentially go back
to my first ever interaction with James
where he threatened to hit me but never did
that's the ultimate mind game
all these times going forward
this was back in year two
how old are you in year two
like five six yeah yeah like I remember
like a year ago something I said we've actually
known each other a decade but it's just like no
we've known each other like
yeah long long like stupid
the amount of time.
And there's just stuff,
there's just, I will reference, like,
stuff from year two or something.
And we just know it, nobody else knows.
Yeah.
It's cool, man.
I'm sick as fuck.
It is cool.
It's true.
Yeah.
We're on itself.
But to finish with the topic,
I just mentioned this because it'd be good
for the JAR fans to, you know,
maybe just look at how they're living in the change.
Because we always want the JAR fans to,
live their best life and, you know, do what they can.
Yeah, a little bit of self-improvement when it's necessary is...
So my advice is just to use this as a time to, you know, see what you can improve and come out better.
Come out the best of you.
Don't, like, just see it all as a downward thing.
You make it the best thing it could possibly be.
Yeah.
Yeah, unless you're, like, trapped in just like a horrendous situation, which I'm sure.
Other people are.
Yeah, bro, just you always make the best thing.
everything could be bro
like just make it the best
like
yeah you
homeless person listening to
get off your ass
god damn it
it could be worse
that that is something
that's always piss me off
yeah it could be worse
I didn't push you in a river
but it could be worse
yeah I mean like
it could always be worse
where does that end
what's even the point of saying that
everything could be worse
I could be dead
that's worse
than anything that can happen to me
yeah
could be worse
like you
it could be better
that
that would actually
everything can be better
and everything can be worse
like saying so
it could be better
it's like really depressing
oh you've just done
like fucking masters
could be better
just got the best job
in your life
could be better
no that
ain't that ain't doing nothing
just drop the dokey
the size of my fist
could be better
Barry?
Maybe just drink some one
and your life will be good?
Yeah, that's the quarantine
message. Christ, no.
I'm
going to have a confession and there's many
times on this podcast when I've said
Don't see your pair of weed.
I don't want to do read.
Do you want to save that nugget? Because we're actually
have a, we have a question in the
second half that exactly is going to
address that. So, I can save
that but there's going to be a quarantine life lesson coming at you.
Okay, shoot a right, shoot it right.
It's right to that.
Okay, okay.
Are we done with the first time?
Well, yeah, we're done.
Um, so stick around for the second, uh, uh, we don't need to do this anymore, do we?
No, we, yeah.
We still want to go into the, you know, the message thing so we can have a t-shirt advert.
Uh, our t-shirts, actually, I was going to wear one today because I want everyone to know.
They're actually really great shirts, and all of quarantine, I've worn,
Just the two charts, I've got the argue.
Every time I've seen you in quarantine.
I've been rowing.
And we've seen each other quite a bit.
Like, we've just happened to see each other.
I'm going to go to shops and get some, you're just there.
So it's like, oh.
Yeah, that was crazy.
That was probably the first time I saw you in lockdown.
And then.
It just happened to be outside Tusku.
And then James would just text me like, do you want KFC?
Do you want, man, days?
I can't.
I didn't know my license.
The amount of times I've just been, I've been in tripping.
I'm like, in the driveway.
Jim, KFC, what do you want?
You got like no choice.
It's just like.
Speaking of these shirts actually
I looked at the statistics to see
out of the JAR shirts which order it was
and I was kind of shot by the order
It's not what I was anticipating
What is it?
Number one is the R shirt, Rubin
Then it's the J
Then it's the A
Whey
Fucking assholes, they
That's not even backwards jar
Just buy it so J is at the top
Then A then A then
R or R then A than J.
Don't do fucking some random order.
We definitely need to do a new wave.
Yeah, no, we've been thinking of...
And retire, thank you so much for buying our...
Yeah, like, no, I generally wear them, and they're great.
Like, I've only worn them.
All of quarantine, it's just, this one gets clean,
they're wearing the other one, this one gets...
What do you think is the best selling show is?
Argue one.
Yeah, no.
It's the Dick the M one.
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Oh, then it's the jar one.
Because the actual jar one of just jar media is really clean, it's nice, it's subtle.
Like that show.
quite a bit.
Yeah.
But we've thought about the ideas of like next, like,
because you know, there's ones of our game.
We've been like, we can do a Gaius one or Billy one.
I want to do the James Wave.
That's what I'm interested in.
Yeah.
That really edgy reasons.
Just everything else.
No, we need thoughts on a shirt, though.
That, that.
Holy shit.
Reason's thoughts.
What with the inverted meme?
You can have one inverted and one not.
Hey, we've got a few ideas.
I mean, we, like, I've always wanted to do, like, shirts to, like, a really intricate design.
So, that's really fucking neat and stands out a lot.
Yeah, it's just purely a time thing for me.
Like, I'd love to sit down and do some proper designs, but I just got so much shit to do all the time.
Yeah, but we think about that.
And then we've been thinking about a second wave, so hopefully we might be a...
We've been talking about it amongst us for ages.
Yeah, because we, we bounce the ideas off each other, and then it gets a point where it's just like, oh, let's...
And if we're not thinking of something,
And then tell us in the comments or on Reddit.
We do actually read this stuff.
I usually note things down that are worth, you know.
So, yeah, just let us know.
What would you want to see?
Would you want to see Gaius in a galthog?
Or would you want to see reasons question mark dot, dot, dot.
You know, let us know and we'll smack it onto the list.
I do want to get Billy on a shirt.
Billy, yeah, it would be pretty sick.
Do you have a big...
Randy's got to have his spot.
There are options
There are options
We've got to pay with
But you know
We'll only give you
Deliver the best quality content
The best everything
Because we're jar
We are jar
And we are jar
And we are jarring
We're back after D's
Want a dick on a shirt
Check the description below
Welcome to the second half
Of the cast
Where we answer questions
From the JARCast
I can finally say JARCast again
Um, let's start with this one then from
Pooh on Face
Who says
Let me just move my
Who in JAR
Is each top gear member
They have a suggestion
For each person
Before we get into it
I just want to say fuck you
For what you said
I am
Have you already seen it?
No but I have a good feeling
Yes I also want to
say fuck you two for what you're going to say
as well do you want me to just read what they say
yes yes Jim Richard Hammond
wow oh wow
no no but fuck you
none of them are a big
a big like I'm James May
according to them
and Ruben's Richard Hammond
sorry what
Ruben is Jeremy Clarkson and James
is the stick
no I'm gonna
I'm gonna
no
I would say I'm James May
not because he's called James but
no I think
Ruben is James May?
I don't.
Really?
Wait, no, he is Jeremy Clarkson.
Yeah.
Yeah, he is.
Like, James May is very, like, engineering, old-fashioned warplanes and all this, like, engineering, and that's me.
And there's good tasting cars, and I do also have good tasting cars.
Yeah, I quite like the list they've already picked, to be honest.
Yeah, exactly.
Fuck you.
Okay.
Hands up.
There's not much choice.
It's not like the Malagascar cast.
There's not much choice.
I saw the one that brought out of this time
for the one who hates the question so much.
I just think that's very uninspired.
We've been spot on right, though.
Yeah, Ruben is absolutely Jeremy Clarkson.
Yes.
That's the only one that really applies.
Never before done, Triple X says,
how do you guys, especially Alex,
since he works remotely full-time,
maintain the social aspect of your life.
Personally, it's hard for me to maintain friends.
outside of school work.
You just fucking play Caller Judy.
Yeah, common ground.
Yeah, like cod.
Yeah, it's a weird one for me,
because a lot of the people I know
like other YouTubers and stuff
are just all over the world.
So a lot of the communication
is just over Discord or Twitter, DMs,
and stuff like that.
There are obviously people I know in real life, though.
But I'm just not one of those, you know,
I'm not extradited, I don't know.
you just like what you have
I've got like a small group of people that
I quite like
yeah I would always prefer like a
tight group
as opposed to like a hundred friends
that I don't really know
like with everyone in Jar
I feel like I do know them
you know warts and all
yeah my foot
yeah your fucking warty ass
Varuka covered disgusting
good I was on the gross feet
No, you haven't seen James's verruca's
They're gross
Have you ever um
Iced them
No, I am
I mean the no I didn't ice
It's like a cream
Yeah I had one when I was like early teens
And I just iced it off
No but I'm using like a queen
No I used like so many things
To try and get rid of it
It just felt like a callous
Yeah I used to have one on my finger
A wart
And I was so ashamed of my wart
That I had in my early teens
And then just iced it off
I mean the process of ice in mine off
But it's just like, it was a fucking huge boy.
It was like a huge, fucking meaty chunk.
No, mine was quite subtle, really.
But eventually when everything just wasn't working, I just left it.
And then it went away.
Mine didn't go away.
That was what I was hoping for.
And it would be, I knew I started, I needed to change it.
And I'll be, this is weird.
But during my sleep, I touch my other leg against the walk, my brook,
and wake the fuck up and be like, really uncomfortable.
and I have to like sleep with my latest firefire as possible
because it was like so uncomfortable
That's when I decided to
Uh fucking
Scrape his off with a fucking
Yeah, I used to do that a lot
Like try and just fucking pull it out
Yeah, that's horrifying
I use a fucking gel and it fucking kills the skin completely
And you have to file it off
So you get this skinny kind of cocaine dust
And it makes your fucking nose tingle
It's fucking horrible
Have we ever got one of those
Like scrubs
skin scrubs where they're like
kind of a coarse almost sponge
type thing that you rub over
you know calloused bits
on your toes and stuff like that to get all the
gross skin off
I've got one of my birthday
my hands
used to be super calloused
because really yeah
I lifted
it sounds like a dickhead thing to say
but I did so many weights
and stuff that all
my my
palms and stuff were just like...
Yeah, I remember getting that from the monkey bars.
Monkey bars are fucking underrated.
I hated them, but then I was just like, these are actually sick as fuck.
A good monkey bar, you can't...
Yeah, you can't really argue with a good monkey bar.
Yeah, neither can Vault Tech A.U. who asks,
the boys have spoken about their exploits in performing heists
in the local Tesco game aisle.
What's the best thing any of you got from the countless stolen Xbox
game codes
well yeah he passes
I think I think the thing I was most happy with
was I believe there was like a Gears of War 3
pre-order character code
because you remember for that game
each different outlet had like a different pre-order character
yeah fucking bullshit I'm pretty sure one of them
I managed to snag from the
that was when we really cared about
Gears 3 characters yeah because that was before
you could buy them so even it was
this was also around the online pass kind
of time so fucked over a few people with
that.
Yeah, but online
online passes do cost
like an obscene amount.
Yeah, they were like 12 quid.
I can't believe
they ever did that.
Like, sure,
do it for Dead Space too
when nobody's going to care.
But Battlefield 3,
the campaigner on that game
is so trashed.
No,
Battlefield 3 was one of the
ones I nicked
because you got the
early access to the MassFit 3 demo
or something like that.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
The bad thing about that was
at that time,
used game shops didn't factor that in.
So you'd be paying like 10 pound off a new game price
And you just spend like
That have to buy a 12 fucking pound battle pass
An online pass whatever
It was bullshit
And we just fucked people over it
It seemed to only be a EA that did that
I don't remember any other
PlayStation did it
They had online passes for their exclusives
Yeah
That was a few others
I'm pretty sure have one
Wow
But it's just like
The weird thing is they stuck a DLC
Cont time with the battle pass
The online pass
So if you redeem the online parts
You get this character skin
Yeah
You know who's gonna be online
You can't
Yeah
What was the point
It's like a middle finger
To the dev as well
Or the devs
Mm-hmm
Like this part isn't worth
Paying for
Yeah it was definitely
It's just a bad time
When before the online service wave
Yeah
It was just I think it was worse
Than what it is now
Yeah
I think it probably right
That is worse
Mm-hmm
Sebastian Oort
asks, given the recent Shane Dawson
controversy, what are your thoughts on
offensive jokes? When do you think a joke goes too
far?
We kind of talked about
this on the last corncast we did
when we're talking about everyone being cancelled,
but... I think
a lot of it comes down to
the intelligence of the person
telling the joke
and how much thought they've put into the joke
prior to it being said.
Yeah, context and commentary, I guess.
Yes, if it's just, if, if the punch line is the, it's just like offensive, that, that tends to be the, the weakest ones.
But if, if you're using the offensive humor to make some kind of point or statement or commentary, that's where I'm pretty flexible with it.
Yeah.
Agreed.
Yep.
In agreement.
Agreed.
There was, there is, it is weird, though.
I've been watching community again.
Really funny, actually.
It gets funnier.
goes along um but there was an episode where they they make fun of um the word tranny which is like
not on now so it was like really weird to watch an episode where like that was like an ongoing joke
in the episode and shit and it's like i've seen this episode before and i wouldn't have even
thought anything about it like the first time i saw it it is it is interesting the way how
quickly culture changes yeah you know and what becomes acceptable and what isn't
What about this one then?
Cherry Rabbits
Lolls
No, loz
Says after the backlash
The Last of Us 2 got from many fans
After waiting seven years for the sequel
What video game sequel
Were each of you hyped up for
Only to be disappointed with the results
And by the way, watch our Last of Us
As good as they say video
Which should be up on the YouTube channel
Disappointment
Um
Aspect Andromeda
Halo 5
Um
Halo 4
I wasn't disappointed with Halo 4 at the time
It's only like now
Yeah I mean I wasn't that disappointed
Like it
After Halo 4 I wasn't
I thought it was like an alright first game
For a new studio taking it over
But then at the time
It's just so much less critical.
Yeah, same, yeah.
Yeah, the real disappointments didn't begin
until the generation we're in now, for me.
I mean, in hindsight, Dark Souls Tea, I know it is.
That's another one you can watch on our channel,
recent rant thing we did.
It sounds...
Beating a dead horse, but...
I can't say, but I have the same thing.
I have a disappointment of a series of games.
like a few sequels to sequels surely like fall out four oh no yeah straight
up four that that was probably the worst actually because I I at the time I was
like so into New Vegas because it was quite a few years after it came out so I was
yeah yes that's disappointed me but it's like my biggest game in disappointment
was that bad era of God because I've such a cod lover that just yeah it
disappointed me in the fact that Cod's been so good previously and it's just
because it wasn't just one game it was like it was like it
It was five years of nothing but disappointment.
Yeah.
And that's the worst.
This will probably piss some people off, but from the trailer from Black Ops 2,
I was just like out.
I checked out.
What was the trailer for Black Ops 2?
It just showed off like all futuristic stuff.
But the game is actually a lot more.
It's a lot more to it.
Yeah.
I've played it since and thought it was decent.
But it's actually quite good.
I'd say the story is good.
It doesn't compare to the first one
No, nothing can
No, first person, shoot it can
They don't
Like, they didn't understand
What I think the average person wanted
I'll tell you one for me
The original destiny
When that first came out
Oh my God, yeah
Because no one really knew what it was
It's not a sequel technically
But
It's a new, sorry
I just took it as like a disappointing
Two can also be disappointing because that didn't change.
Yeah, it pissed me off the praise Destiny 2 got at release.
When Destiny 2 first came out, it was probably the worst Destiny's ever been, to be honest.
Yeah, I would agree, yeah.
Yeah, because at least Destiny 1, all the enemies were new, all the places were new.
Yeah, yeah.
And then when Destiny 2 came around and it just felt like a slight polish of the first thing, it was just like, really, guys?
I think it's in a pretty decent place now
though I've actually been playing it a bit for like fun
it's the first time since Destiny 1
that I've actually played Destiny
just for fun without like recording it
it's strange you've come back to Destiny
and I'm back on card
yeah it was it was that thing about them
abandoning Activision
and now they're like advertising's less cringy
and they're more honest and introducing features
that are actually like player friendly
and stuff like that.
I'm kind of interested, though,
to ask my own question from this topic.
Like, a sequel to something you weren't expecting to be that good
and then sort of blew your mind.
Blowing my mind.
Maybe Red Dead 2 for you guys.
Yeah.
That's probably a good one for me, actually.
It's Red Dead 2.
Because that was like trailer, I kind of out now.
And then it was just like, oh, fuck.
Because I became obsessed with that game in a way,
I really was not anticipating you know yeah that no your obsession with it blew me away
because I always felt like I was the most hyped because I went I was so crazy about
red that one and then when it came out you I'm pretty sure you've played it more than me
at this point yeah um which is awesome to see from my perspective yeah because as soon as I found
out there's a side quest we could collect dinosaur bones I was in genuinely I could say
because
I'd played the previous one a bit
and it was a bit too bad
and I couldn't get into it.
What's this?
Witcher 3.
Because I just bought it on a whim
it was like, it's out. I'm gonna buy it on a whim
and then it was just like fucking hell
this game. Yeah, yeah.
Like that took me out of literally nowhere
because Richer was always shit prior.
Like they were really tiny studio
and there was just Richard free, boom.
Yeah, this huge...
They didn't come out running.
They fucking blew the fucking doors off
and we're fucking rolling through
with an army of tanks
they just were fucking gone
I've got another one was
GTA 5 for me
because I never gave shit about GTA
and when I played it
Yeah I remember the first time
playing GTA 5 thinking
Like
This is like playing
Do you remember that there were those weird
YouTube videos that were like
GTA 5 leak
Yeah
This is what it's gonna look like
And it was just modded GTA 4
Yeah or really good tech
Like skins or something
Beam NG drive
I remember
seeing footage of that and the name was like
GTA5 leak physics
engine but
yeah that that blew my mind
playing it for the first time because we were so young
then where we didn't that you don't
yeah I still I still blame
um GTA 5 for the reason I did badly
in A level
yeah
but I the reason I asked the question was because
I had two games in mind one that isn't
really a sequel being
Sekari
like yeah that game
I get what you mean
That game resonated with me so hard, and I already love Dark Souls 1 and 3.
And Sakoro, I believe, is the best from Soft game.
And Half-Life Alex.
I get that, because it was like your first big experience of a VR game.
Yeah, but not only that, it met the hype.
It's another Half-Life game.
I genuinely didn't think I was going to see another Half-Life game.
game. Nobody did.
It was just like, Alex? Alex?
Boom. Suddenly there was a trailer and it's like it's coming out in a few months.
Yeah. No, but then it was just like, it's VR.
So I legit spent like 240 pounds
on this game.
240 pounds on one game.
Which is a fucking lot. A lot of money for one game and
there wasn't a single moment where I didn't think
this is the fucking best thing I'm, I could possibly experience right now.
Legit blue my god.
It's like I'm still waiting for that
Because I can't play it yet
It's like I'm waiting for it
It will happen
Waiting for it to be blown away
Because I fucking VR gaming
It looks so interesting
Because it's being like
Strapped to loads of games now
It's like oh this features VR now
Yeah that's the thing
Like
Buying VR
And then playing like Skyrim in VR
Or Fallout 4 in VR
It was a waste
It makes it feel like a gimmick
Whereas Half Life Alex is a game
built forward.
Yeah, you can't play it in an engaging way
without you being in that world.
It's so masterly.
There's a way to implement VR stuff
and there's a way not to do it.
Skyim's not a way to do it.
It's like a gimmick.
A racing game is a way to do it
because it's just like that works.
That Star Wars game will probably be good,
that flying one will be good as well.
I think that will be incredible.
Like any vehicle-based one is guarantee
will work because you're in a fucking vehicle.
Yeah.
Then it's only when you get these analytics games
where it has to change the game
for like a first person shoot
to work with the VR tech.
Yeah, something that's crazy actually
Half-Life 2
I went on it recently
and there's a VR option
and I went on it
and what they've done is
it's like you're sat in
a movie theatre
and there's a huge
screen with Half-Life on it
and you just play Half-Life
like that. Like, it's this huge
it's really weird.
Does it work, or would you say
it's kind of, it's just a gimmick?
It's a total gimmick, and I couldn't
even, like, get it to function.
Oh.
I could only sit and look at the main menu.
But it was like, what's the point?
You're sat looking at this huge screen,
whereas I could be sat on my desk
close to the screen, and it's bigger.
But still,
it's just good that they're implementing that time.
stuff. Valve were really trying to actually do
something with the technology. I'm just
waiting for COD in 10 years to be
Warzoned, VR, battleware,
fucking VR, I'm just like, what if
they did another portal game, but it was
VR somehow? No, that could fucking work.
I'm just thinking about it. That could be
crazy. No, that's guaranteed to work, and I'm 100%.
If they're going to follow up to Alex with another
VR game, it's going to be portal. Because it's had
that long difference. I've got a feeling that
Valve might be
using Half Life Alex as a
like way back.
Video games. We're going to be making video
games again. Not just VR games
but video games. I think
no, I think they're going to be
the dominating force of VR
from going forward. Yeah. Because they, how
long have they been out the game out of the fucking
just completely not there? What was their last game?
What? L'A. Global Offensive.
Oh, was it that one?
Yeah, which was like a mod team that
they took on.
And you think how much money? That's what Valve is.
How much money they've got from that game
They just fucking funneled it into VR
Can you imagine if they drop Leffodd 3
Team Fortress 3, Portal 3
Half-Life 3
That's what I mean
Like Half-Life Alex is sort of a statement in my eyes
No but the thing is
They will
If they drop those games every year
Like Leffodad suddenly
Portal 2
All of those games will fucking destroy
Because they're all like
Unbelievably good IPs are wedding
And suddenly like you can play a zombie game
That's really good in VR
Fuck
It doesn't even need to be in VR
I think it left for dead is one of the games
where it'd have to be normal as well
Yeah, they'd have to work
They've made this new engine now
That is honestly so
breathtaking
It does look crazy
Yeah, you play you know as well
Yeah
So like
You know we mentioned like
I remember we talked about this
Like one of the main guys is gone
Yeah
So it's just like
Walkstar you've got
Cyberpun looks fucking great as well now
That's more dropped of that
You've got these kind of three mega studios
That could just completely destroy the industry now
And just be the next...
Yeah, I think they're at the forefront of...
Just gaming
Yeah, of pushing the boundaries
That's Valve Rockstar
And...
They're in that perfect position
Where they've just got infinite money
To just do tinko
whatever they want to us right
We're probably getting closer to a GT86 release
Like the leaks for it have already come out
And the thing with rock star
So like, I remember
we just like a year after
GCA 5 there was leaked stuff saying
Red Dead Redemption 2 is in development
and I said to Jim I said
Now this is probably going to come out like four years time
And it did
There's that stuff's already been spotted for GCA 6
So year or two it's probably going to be up
And then there'll probably be another
A Valve game then there might be another CD project
web and we're just going to have these like
Big gaps of like the most revolutionary games
constantly and some new stuff we're not even ready for
Yeah, suck it wild
But James we've got to do this one from
Odo Daz
who says in episode 159
James talks about how he doesn't like the idea
of being drunk slash high
What made him change his mind
And start enjoying these experiences
Also could you explain how he found
Getting Stoned for the first time
No judgment here
Just genuinely curious
Personally have done both
And prefer the devil's lettuce
So James
Yeah I've hit in on this early one
And yeah I've said throughout Jarl
like I've had these opinions on alcohol and weed
that just a bit like
weird
and it was clear that I'd probably
I hadn't really experienced them
and then you know
quarantine happens and then
I get into this routine
of every Saturday just getting myself
fucking annihilated
just absolutely destroyed
just on whiskey
what you mean by destroyed
like at least half a bottle of whiskey
you know rim spinning
um head on desk falling over that kind of uh destroyed yeah and i only did it because it was
quarantine and we'd play cod at the same time so it was like this fun if you die mate you're
taking a shot yeah yeah it kind of started out as that and then and then it was it was made
better when i experienced weed for the first time because the thing that's put me off on
weed and every person who's anti-weed will think the same thing the way it's portrayed in media
all of these stoner movies they portray it of a different plane of existence that's not weed
that's not it at all so that was like my idea of weed and then i had it and it was just like
whoa this is like nothing like that this is actually nice and it it is no different really
to getting pissed and i like when you're
kind of tipsy and things are a bit funny
and like just playing cod
you're like you're wired
you're really on it but you're just
it's like a really fun feeling
and I got that with weed as well
I got this because you do remember
the first experience where I was just like
you knew it when it hit me
you knew when it was just like it clicked
we were talking about this at KFC
we were oh really
yeah because
the thing I like about weed
is um
it makes you
just like think
a way
just so quickly
yeah it takes you out of your mindset
um and yeah
you focus on things
that you normally wouldn't
and when James first smoked weed
um
but I'd like to say
watching James and he was leaning on the table
clearly like deep in thought
like mid conversation then it was just hit me
just boom he was just deep in thought
for like five minutes and you
said to me like he thinks it's
been like 30 seconds but it's actually
been five minutes
and James didn't even hear
you say that. No no no no because he was
so deep in thought
and that that's the most accurate
like representation of weed in
in my mind. It's strange but it's
really pleasant. Like I didn't
I was talking of you so you knew
you weren't a bad influence on it
you knew like this is what's going to happen you need to
don't overdose and then
and then we flipped a bottle for
literally an hour
and we're just flipping a bottle
just like yes
oh yes
yeah because the most mundane things
become interesting
yeah
and then from that
obviously I learned that
you know CBD is a part of weed
it's one of those feelings
and that was actually like
it was only through weed
and having CBD I was just like
I'm fucking so stressed all the time
I'm so like not chill
yeah and now that is a part of my
kind of daily life
yeah CBD is good because it's non-cyclical
Yeah, it just chills you. It really chills you out. Like, I've given you stuff to try, like, you know, you can get it drinks, you know, edible, whatever. And it's just, it's nice to try and then to know that if I'm stressing, I just do have a bottle of really fucking nice, like, squash. Yeah. I'm just chill. Yeah, I've talked about propranolol before. It's like an anxiety medication. Um, it didn't work. And yeah, it has, it had some weird side effects for me, but I kind of get the same effect that that drug gives me on, on CBD.
except
without all the horrible side effects
Yeah
Because I was also on pro panano
Panol for a while
That was terrible
It didn't do me any good
But then to CBD
It was just
It had
That little part of that drug
Was just all of CBD
And it was so much better
Yeah
Yeah I've got the oil
In my fridge
I have the oil as well
And it's just like
I don't weave it into my day to life
Usually it's just like
I know
I'm stressed at work
And I'll just chill about a bit
is focus.
Yeah,
if I know something
stressful is incoming
or have some...
It's so easy
to weave into
everyday life
like I just want some
tea, nice tea,
chill,
it's chill.
I want to have a nice
cookie.
Boom.
There's so many ways
to do it where you can
just have,
you can get a better
life just by
adding a little
wazzle dazzle
and I've recommended
it to like people I know
because I think
it's great
and you should always
just, it's worth
trying to know
if it actually
can help you.
Yeah, I would say
I would say
trying CBD is
especially if
I wouldn't recommend weed to everyone there.
No, no.
But it's through weed that I knew of CBD and I knew what it did to me.
So that's why I have CBD and I was because of my experience of weed.
And it's made a positive impact.
And it's worth a try, really.
What kind of person would you not recommend weed to?
Anyone who has a history of mental illness in their family or people?
who you have to take it on like an individual level like when when James first tried it
um I made it my mission to make it as like as comfortable and yeah yeah you know the right
situation and the right amount specific because you know that yeah for sure you don't want to like
because I'm sure lots of people have their whole experience tarnished by just having a shitty
first you know yeah I mean to be honest my first um experience with we
was pretty bad what made it so not that great i almost vomited um and i during all of it i
never felt good right i think it was just bad weed it probably was knowing the area i'm fairly
yeah i'm fairly certain it was just bad weed like being someone that had never really smoked weed
before and then
being introduced to it in this
shitty
like
I assume it was just
homegrown by someone that didn't really know
what they were doing
so I just felt ill
and
weren't you out in public too
like walking around
no no
if my memory is correct
like the first time I properly tried
it.
Alright.
Um, well, there were two times prior where I had smoked it and actually inhaled so
little that I was barely affected at all.
Yeah, I read something about how apparently most people don't properly experience it the first try.
So then this, this third time I tried it, I like actually did it properly and just, just felt fucking terrible.
Hmm.
But then
I
Because I'd go and see this friend of mine every now and again
Um
And they were big into weed
So every time I'd see them I'd smoke weed
With them
Um
I completely lost my train of thought
Have you been smoking weed
now
yeah my one
I was
you probably smoked it first I guess
you'd experience it for I had
well Ruben experienced it before all of us
you went to Amsterdam didn't he
yeah yeah when he was 18 I think
yeah so Ruben tried it first
and it honestly it was Ruben trying it
that made me interested in trying it
why is that? Because
I'd only sort of heard of
like third
like
I guess second hand experiences
right
um
or third
third hand like
someone telling me
about someone else's experience
so then when it was
Ruben telling me about his experience
who was like oh
that sounds fine
so then I tried it
um
yeah every time I tried it
with that that same person
um afterwards
after my first bad experience
absolutely fine
enjoyed it
yeah
because when I first tried it
it was with someone
who had already had experience with it
so I think that's kind of the key
you know so of someone who knows
what they're kind of talking about and can
yeah the thing is I don't think I properly
like explain or told the person
that I'd never tried it before
right
so when it came to
it's like
my other no car group
they want to go Amsterdam
and they're like going to go to Amsterdam
I'm just going to smoke loads of weed
and eat loads of edibles
and I'm just like
they've never touched
none of them smoke
only one of them smokes
actually
Oh really
None of them have any experience
I'm just like
No fuck no
Don't do that
Because you'll just have a fucking shit time
And they're just like
No you don't know what you're talking about
It's just like
Yeah they're asking for trouble
Just go do it then
And have a shitty
Have a wound your holiday
Because if you go to Amsterdam
You just fucking have the worst
Weird experience
You're fucking moon in
If they go too crazy
With edibles
Especially they're gonna be in
yeah so I'm like just like I'm trying to like do it like you did to me I'm trying to make sure that
anyone who tries it when I'm recommending it has a good time because you give them a good
environment you can always have more if you have too little yeah once you've gone past a point
and no returns no going back I think that was the thing with me on that first time like I
I would have had too much because I'd never had it before um and the person I was with didn't know
i'd never had it properly before yeah so i had as much as them when they've been smoking since
like for like six years so then when i got to that point yeah i remember because that's another
thing i'd actually recommend um you know do it you didn't put the most amount and you just said do it
and then see what happens you didn't because people because you it's not an instant effect so people
think oh can't feel anything i have more more that that's what that was what i found fascinating about
it because I was quite nervous before I tried it
because I really had no idea what to expect
because as you said like in movies and TV
and stuff it's kind of unclear what they
mean by the way they're portraying it
yeah it's like oh bong
yeah yeah no it's not yet
but yeah
I remember going to pee and then
just like it hitting
as I was peeing and just started laughing at some
bullshit and it's like okay I understand
what this is now I'm not frightened
anymore but I would say
to not fuck with it
especially when you're like a young teenager
wait for your brain to be developed
wait for the white time and place
just wait wait yeah I'm I feel like I'm lucky
because I genuinely was not interested in any of that shit
till I was already in my early 20s
like I didn't care about drinking really or smoking
or any of that shit so I was already like the perfect age
really yeah well you can do it like reasonably
it's weird how much your environment affects
Because the first place I ever worked
It must have been
70, 80% of the people I worked with
smoked weed regularly
So I felt like the odd one out
Not smoking weed
Yeah
Yeah
So then whenever I was like around them privately
And they were
Of course I would
Yeah
Like I mean
That's the sort of thing
You're taught in school
Like don't
peer pressure yeah but I never felt as though when they were smoking it was like
if you don't with us you're fucking lame and we're not going to talk to you anymore
it was just like do you want to join us and I was like yeah yeah so my my first
experience was with you guys and I've never been introduced it prior to you guys that's
how I've known so it's yeah and I like to think we didn't peer pressure you in anyway
You never have
because before
I did smoke it
There was a lot of times
No
But there's a lot of times when you were smoking
And I'd just be like
I'll be downstairs
I'll just watch this
Because I just didn't have any kind of interest
At that time
So I'd just I'd let you do it
And I'd think I'd like it
Yeah you don't want to be pressuring people
That's just creepy
That makes you kind of a bad friend
If you're pressuring your friends into shit
Yeah
Yeah
can do whatever you want yeah i say that but i'm also really bad when i'm drunk i'm like
fucking drink it drink it i'm sure that is an aspect as well like when when you're feeling
good you want everyone to feel as good as you so no one's like pulling you down yeah and a weird
way in air quotations yeah yeah yeah but yeah alcohol is nice in moderation so as we just
you know live and have fun play cool as you war zone while piss out your face and get
we love you,
yeah, I
definitely pro
the devil's letters
so barricorn myself
I do
because
the net
you don't
there's no hangover
it's just a nice
feeling and there's no bad
like I like the feeling
of being drunk
until I can't walk up
the stairs
that's not nice
it's like
it's like knowing
your limits almost
you need to know
how much
you can drink
that is it
with literally everything
yeah
I mean
I'm not gonna act
like I've tried
every drug in the book
yeah
crocodile
why do you think
what you came from
mate but if especially with um well i can only speak from personal experience but with drinking
if you know the point of no return of no return then you just stop before then or at them
yeah that's what i've learned food quarantine because at the start it was just like this was
the first pop of times when i was just just drinking excessively and it would just be like i'm
about to vomit over my desk
you know I can't open a door properly
and the next day it was just like I was a little
bit back and I was a bit better but now
it's just like I can if I drink like six
whiskeys I know I'm a good level
and I had a cider and so I can stay
I can stay at this buzzing level for like a certain amount of time
and I'm good you just don't go over that
the drinking thing especially
has really made me realise how crucial
it is I can only speak to like
British culture but especially to the
way British people like
interact with
each other and communicate like it is about using alcohol to get your guard down so everyone is
silly and has fun together yeah you know yeah it's it's really interesting as a british person
because like the typical thing is that everyone's quite uptight and not willing to
yeah we're also tightly wound we need to be able to go to the pub in order to become actually
I guess.
Yeah, the pub
pubs are so, like, vital
to English culture.
Yeah.
Alcohol is just, it's so important.
It's not just the alcohol aspect, though.
It's like,
I mean, it's like a combination
of the...
It's a place that serves a thing
that makes it so everyone is, you know,
in an ideal situation,
more happy and open.
Every time you go to a pub,
it's highly likely
there'll be different people in there.
Yeah.
But because everyone
is drinking at least a bit
you just become more social
and it's awesome to see
before quarantine I did
I went to a bubble for the first time
it's just like James
you're gonna drink and I was like okay I'm gonna drink
turned into a fucking ridiculous night
if I was a shodding tequila
fucking Yeager moms tequila Yeager moms
is a fucking rough night
and I was a sociable
I was just walking up like hey you just feel great
alcohol just changes us
your inhibitions kind of
muted, which can be a bad thing for a lot of people.
Really bad thing.
If you can't hold your liquor.
Yeah, it's a really bad thing when you're sitting there on call of duty
and you're thinking, oh, this MLG pack's really good.
Don't do that.
That's my thing.
If you do make sure to buy optic.
I'd say there are worse things you could do.
Yeah, like alcohol when abused is fucking terrible, and you do whole things.
Any drug when abused is terrible.
And we don't condone it.
any abuse of any...
Just do it safe.
Substance.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's do this one then from...
Hmm.
How about this one from you and granny boy?
Hi Jar.
I recently found out that I'm going to become a dad in October
and as a recent uni graduate,
currently full time in a retail job,
the news made me re-evaluate my life and feel that I was growing up,
despite previously feeling a certain level of maturity.
I was wondering,
if any of the jar members had experienced similar
times in their life where they felt
things were happening that transformed you
from your adolescent self to a different person
for better or worse?
The first time
I pooped without my parents?
You can do it, Jim.
He's doing it.
No, I was famously
scared of toilets up until
I was about 18, 19.
I'd like to say
congratulations
yeah for sure
that's a great new
it's a big deal
like
big responsibility
unless you've already
bought the plane tickets
yeah I just found out
I'm about to be a dad
and I bought the tickets
to escape to the Congo
yeah
I think it's fair to say
none of us have
any like to that degree
not to that degree
but I've had the point
where it's just like
My actions and the way I've been living life hit me
And like, I'm an adult in 21
I need to change my shit
And there's obviously, you know,
we've gone over this, it was that point of my life
Like, that's it, but that's just like,
that's a fucking make or break moment
And obviously I had to fucking be like,
I'm an adult, what the fuck am I doing?
Yeah, every now and again, I have a,
oh, this is such a, like, boring adult thing
to be doing right now.
Taxes.
Like sending emails to people and shit like that.
Yeah, the first time you ever have to send an email
is a big moment.
Yeah, to someone who's not like in your,
your year at school or something.
Yeah, but I mean, even then, you don't send emails.
You just...
No, back in the day when...
Alice was in my year eight.
Do you want to meet up? Email?
No, it was like people would just fuck with each other using the school email.
Yeah.
You'd fuck of me with your email, actually.
Yeah.
And I fuck of yours.
It's like, oh, if I'm in a free Wi-Fi area and I have to create an account,
I just use Amazon.
It was so quaint back then because we didn't really have smartphones yet.
Yeah.
yeah
so phones were kind of just shit
oh god the knocky
the fucking brick knocky of the
interchangeable case that I threw off a hill
because it's indestructible
beast
okay let's do this one from
I'm clean living baby
who says can I just can I go to the piss
go do the purse
I really go to the purse
we can answer this one without you anyway
is the recent increased upload frequency
the new norm
or was it a special flash-in-the-pan type of funny?
Upload frequency?
Yeah, if you hadn't noticed in the last week,
there was Walk 1, there was the Dark Souls 2 video,
there's the Last of Us videos, cast, quite a lot of stuff.
Sometimes the star's just a line, I think.
Going back to the topic James brought up at the beginning,
with like quarantine lockdown,
the saddest thing is that we couldn't do more videos, you know?
We couldn't do more proper jar videos
Yeah
So we have to feel inspired to actually make something
Yeah for sure
You don't want to just
Constantly release shit
Because it's...
Yeah, because we've already got our thing
That has to be at every week
And that's already enough of a
Yeah, to add to that
Because I mean obviously you've got
Your own stuff going on
I've got my stuff going on
I mean
We all do you
James does, Ruben does.
Yeah, it was more of a flash in the pan, I guess.
As much as we would genuinely love to upload more and get more content out.
But it's so hard with four lives that you have to sort out and schedule and all this.
Yeah, I mean, even sometimes just getting jar them.
just the jar cast
getting that sorted out
is fucking rough
for me my ideal
situation is you have the cast
and then as good as they say is
because I think those are quite good
they are a staple of the jar media
yeah they very
quickly became one of my favourite
things to record
yeah
having like something a bit more focused
you know one topic explored
as much as we can
but then we like the really loose stuff like walks
I'm not that free kind of...
That's true actually
I want to do another walk video
Yeah absolutely
I think people quite enjoyed
With yeah with the feedback from that video
It's like
We want to try more stuff with the camera
We want to try more experimental
Like kind of free kind of that vibe
That vibe
I like that we can sort of have that
You know
The Last of Us video we just did
We spent
We sat and recorded for two hours
Talking about one topic
And then we've got
And even then we probably could have gone in way more depth
Yeah definitely
was never really i know i could have um we got jarring the middle being this thing
yeah it's like a focus topic based it's focused but free and it's silly and then suddenly we'll
get a conversation for half an hour talking about fucking shitting in a fucking port yeah yeah and then
we've got like a walk type video that's so casual so loose so yeah it's like a good mix
it's it covers every kind of what people want loose good focus mix and then and then just the way
in those um good as they say is yeah yeah no i'm yeah it's cool although in saying that has been like
seven months since the last one but i mean we quarantine it's been we do actually have one
recorded on um how it should have ended yes i think we did it how it should have ended i think we're
all kind of we'd all prefer to re-record that we were just i was a dick i was just every knob i yeah
my main takeaway from that recording session was that i feel like i was just quite
mean
but I don't know
I haven't looked at the footage
to be honest
but yeah
that's something on the lines
but there's loads of stuff
like all overzone update
season six
yeah we're becoming
a cod YouTube channel
is there going to be
cov videos yes
you can't escape
yes I'm not editing this
you can do that
sorry bro
well sorry we're going to launch us
to stardom
fuck you
but I actually
no no seriously
I want to make cov reviews
because we play it too much
I play it too much
I think you're going to stream it.
I need to sort of that.
Yeah, stream it.
Yeah, but it's going to be a dodgy stream, though.
Might get taken down by Twitch after a few minutes.
That depends what you say.
It's drunk.
I'm pissed on my face.
I don't know what I'm going to say.
How about this one from Young Mose?
Who says, Hello, Char.
I've been watching you guys for a long time.
And you guys are my favorite podcast at the moment.
I was wondering, with Alex's love of Lego and the others on the cast seeming to enjoy
Lego 2 have any of you guys played any Lego video games and if so how's your experience with
them I personally love Lego Star Wars Indiana Jones and Batman Lego games first off I gotta say
I love how this Lego thing is like just becoming just a regularly ask question but I
think our first Lego game was on the game boy Lego Star Wars do we get that the Lego
Star Wars yeah because we had our game boys before the people
before having a PlayStation.
Yeah, because I remember going to Toys R Us and playing
Lego Stiles and being like, one day.
One day, this will be mine.
But yeah, it
was the only game I wanted to play for a long
time. Yeah, we 100%ed
the, what was it called?
They had all the prequels and
trilogy, Star Wars boxer.
Did it?
Oh, we did both.
The complete saga.
Yeah, I remember getting the original.
trilogy one
and that being like
we've got Lego
Indiana Jones as well
yeah I loved that
there was a time
where I was super
into Indiana Jones
yeah
and I remember one Christmas
my like Christmas
present from you
was a Lego Indiana Jones thing
they're really valuable now
I was like yeah and you fucking
sold my Lego
we won't
stick on that topic it's a bit of a soul one
actual bullying
but yeah
there was I think
after Lego Indiana Jones
there were no more
after that
actually no fuck
I played the Clone Wars
a Star Wars game
I think
I think I borrowed it from Ruben
or something like that
yeah I know Ruben got it
and it was just like an easy play
didn't you play the
like the new one
not the new new one
no I bought the Force Awakens one
just because it came with an exclusive
mini figure
I never actually opened it
beyond that
I've never played any Lego games
I might pick up this new style as one
to be honest
I think they're really good
like kid games
but yeah they're perfect for them
I'm such like a
cough sweat
well yeah I am like a sweaty boy now
if it doesn't
it doesn't make you actually cry when you fail
one of you
yeah if it doesn't make me have a breakdown
and have my
parents screaming at me in
the morning
then I don't want to play it
I'm afraid
yeah I like them
they have milked it pretty
pretty raw now though
yeah the Pirates of the Caribbean one
they did like a Hobbit one
I think it lost a lot of charm for me
when they actually started using like
audio from the movies
yeah that did seem like a mistake
it felt like they were forced to tell a story
like a mime
and it was
Yeah, they had to hit certain beats, but it couldn't get too serious ever, so whenever there was a serious scene, they'd make it funny.
Yeah, and there was so many charming moments.
Hey, hey.
Hmm, how about we do one more?
One more.
Maybe two.
Jagman 264 says, thoughts on the new Kanye single, Wash Us in the Blood.
Personally, I'm not sure about the lyrics, but the production is absolutely perfect.
sounding song since the life of
Pablo. Um, I just want to say
when Kanye actually releases his new album, we'll make a
follow up to a Jesus Is King with you.
We did the Jesus Is King.
No, it would follow up. No, follow up.
I said that when he releases something.
Well, you were talking like a goddamn
Uh. Yeah, we haven't mentioned Kanye for a bit,
so I guess it's time.
Um, haven't listened to it.
Yeah, I guess it sounded like what I
hoped Jesus is King would sound like more.
Well, you got to credit, um,
to Drey.
No, but isn't it confirmed
that there's a new album
coming with Drey?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
See, that is exciting to me.
That is pretty done good.
Because Drey
he knows how to
make a beat.
His beats are crazy, yeah.
Yeah. Absolutely.
And when it comes to the lyrics
on that song,
it got about halfway through
when I was first listening to it
and I was like,
is this like Jesus' king?
Yeah, yeah, it took me
half the song to win me over.
And then,
Kanye comes in with his proper Kanye shit.
You know, calm, yay.
His G-T-A footage and all that weird stuff.
Is Kanye coming back?
Is that it?
It's Kanye back?
Papa Kanye back.
Semai.
It depends what you consider proper Kanye.
Because he's sticking to his guns with the Christian stuff, which is fine.
It's like his perspective.
But as long as he has a lyrical.
qualities. It's not just lyrical
quality, but his, like, personality
coming through, because Jesus' king
felt like it could have been written by anyone.
Yeah, yeah. But this song
is, it's Kanye.
So I'm totally now.
And that music video is mental. Yeah.
I'll have a little bit. It's just super strange.
It's got genuine, just GTA 5 footage
in it. Yeah. Like, GT Online.
I'm okay with that.
Yeah. Yeah. When I first
watched it, I thought it was losing my mind. Honestly,
it's such a crazy music video.
It is good, though.
It's weirdly, the whole song is quite hard-hitting in terms of...
Yeah, it's got a bit of that yeezer sound, but a bit softer.
It's not quite...
Yeah, it's a bit softer, but also the relevance of it coming out now,
especially with what's come before with Kanye.
Like some real questionable stuff coming from him.
It's nice to have him firmly standing against something.
Yeah
Yeah
I definitely need to listen to it more
But I might just wait
To whatever the next album is
That it's probably gonna be on right
I don't know
I don't keep up to it in the same way
That some mega fans do
Well he
He deactivated his Twitter account
Oh did he
And then he brought it back
To announce
This album with Dre
Oh snap
If Dre's producing the whole thing
I mean
I'm pretty sure he is
Unless it was just the single
He was talking about
but
there we go
man
there we fricking go
I think
I think we're done here guys
yeah it's been a long one
this has been an extra long gas
we've uh
you know
it's the first one back
and we've got loads to talk about
but you know
chart is always
yeah it's definitely a different
beast recording in person
yeah
it's a lot easier
yeah it's much nicer
it's much easier
because you have body language
to read off
yeah and you can
funnier things are more funny
because you can see reactions
and shit
I hear that
And I'm just more confident
On camera, weirdly enough
Really?
I just feel much better
Well this
You've done like 100 plus episodes of this
You've only done 10 episodes on Discord
Yeah, it's strange
But I just I don't think I'd ever
I'd ever work on like Discord
You know corn
I just like it in person
I like the uh
I just like doing dumb shit
Yeah
Any other final things before we wrap up
Um
um just remember to crank that soldier boy
