Homer Simpson went out to Vegas.
He won three million dollars and bought a trainer.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
A trainer?
Megan Trainor.
No, wait till Homer Simpson gets his money right.
Now put your hands up if you love Megan Trainor.
I don't...
James, we're gonna be fucking canceled.
I could cancel me.
They can cancel me. They can cancel me.
They can cancel me. I'm not afraid.
of being cancelled like you?
Train me.
I am your mother.
Now listen to me.
Yeah.
I got something cool to start this episode off with boys.
Nice.
Leviathans are coming for you.
How does that mean you feel?
If you wanted to present that in like a serious way, how would you do it?
Oh, do we all get a go?
Yeah, everyone have a go.
Leviathan!
Was it, I'm coming for you?
Leviathons are coming for you.
Oh, Leviathans.
Yeah, plural.
Oh, okay.
No, that changes everything.
Leviathans are coming for you.
James?
Let me just...
Leviathons are coming for you!
Nice.
Can I do another one?
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, can I do another one?
one as well, I have to.
Vythans are coming for you.
Ooh, that's going to be hard to beat.
Leviathans are coming for you.
Cool, huh?
Now that's how you start a podcast, the JAR Media Podcast, that's for sure.
I'm a little bit off because I'm all injured.
I'm a little bit injured left and right.
And I'll tell that story in a moment.
But first, good afternoon, morning, evening or night,
ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
welcome to JARCAST episode.
361.
That is, this is like the,
this is an episode that could have been the sequel to the Xbox 360
in that era when there was rumours.
361, Xbox, well, 720.
That was always on the thumbnails.
That's what everyone wanted.
When the concept, that fake concept art was,
if it's the ball, the actual
ex-ball.
Guys,
I guess
I guess we could call this
episode one.
Because we've gone
360 degrees
and now we've taken
one degree.
We should, we should reset the cast
Episode 1, 160 episodes.
This is Jarkass episode 1.
Yeah, let's change everything up.
Cool intro, go.
The viathens are calming for it.
Yeah, it's our new.
Have like, big Tanscom monsters
go
Out of the water comes to the jar media
We're like Aquaman, we are the
Acro Men. Yeah, get James One to
direct. I like that, I like
that. I'm my host Alex, joined by
Jim and James. Hello.
The Brothers Three.
I'm just trying to cut up with
new, like, things to pot on shirts.
The Three Catees. The Leviathons.
The Triple Levithon Brothers.
We can have, like,
I was going to say we can have, like,
a shirt that's, like, anti-woke,
because then we get in
all this
conservative
buyers
and that's just
watch your
don't be woke
yeah
seeing that would sell
stop
anti-woke
oppression
brothers
I have
awoken
wow
to woke
lunacy
that's leviathan
of your brother
well before we get
too deep into the show
let me shout out
those JL media
patrons
over at the Patreon
that get their
special
silly, funny, wacky names
read at the first or second week of
each month. You'll have to wait till next month for that
but get them in now. They get
crazy, they get wacky.
And also, of course, they support
the RSS feeds and make the audio versions
possible and all sorts of
other little goodies and
cheekiness.
They might get a secret
pick every now and then.
A secret little pick.
Oh yeah, baby. A little pick.
And
And also, this is going to upset James, but this is something I'm pleased about.
On the Jile Media Store now, I've put Tim stickers on there.
Tim?
The important man.
Tim?
Yeah.
Tim.
So, head over to the Jile Media Store right now.
The important man stickers are right there.
Use code important for 10% off.
Your order.
I've been seeing all these awesome pictures of people just doing this by their own volition.
Not even paying us for the honour.
Like in places in Brighton, in Ireland.
What do you mean in Brighton?
Yeah.
There's a new one, yeah.
Post just a day or two ago.
I'm going to go there and I'm going to fucking tear it down.
I'm going to scrape that fuck off.
So get yourself a Tim Sticker, put it somewhere, and send a picture or put it on the subreddit
and spread the power of importance.
Yeah, I think that's most of the
The craziness we've got to get out there
Or the, you know, the busy work
Let me just have a bounce
The bunch
Yeah
Before we get into any topics
And I tell the story of why I'm so injured on this day
Got a little bit of housekeeping to do
Just to keep it short and sweet
Short and bloody sweet on this one
So we round up some of those conversations
from a previous episode
like what Sven said
I'd totally watch a jar poker night
yeah
what about a jar chess note
we need an overhead camera though is a problem
that's true
cellar tape would do the trick
right
no we can
cellotape it to the ceiling
we can easily sort that
it doesn't have to be overhead as long as it's that
because as long as it can be like
well yeah
wouldn't you need
individual cameras so you know everybody's hand when you're watching.
Hand for, oh, you're saying for poker.
Yeah, yeah, for, I was thinking chess, but I mean the comments are poker.
We just, we just strap gopers to our head.
Hmm, that's a good idea.
Yep, somewhat fire.
That was an old idea was to get a GoPro and put it on argue while we were recording and just have it in the corner for the whole time.
Yeah, that would be funny.
Maybe we should do that, but for Billy or.
Well, Paisley would literally just be.
looking at it like a bowl.
She doesn't do anything.
Just looking at the floor for an hour.
Hello, Paisley.
Jay gone thematic says, who else is terrified of Alex?
Why?
We've got 83 likes.
Why?
Um...
They're joking.
Oh, thank Christ.
I'm not very good at picking up subtleties and things.
We know.
Alex Smith.
Sorry, Alice Smith.
says, love watching Alex stimming and enjoying his enrichment time on his bouncy ball.
Same.
And Wine Skins is going to end this segment with really digging the setup.
The angle of the sofa and table are engaging.
Yeah, I much prefer this one.
Yeah, when I came up with it, I was really thinking, how could I maximize satisfaction and engage?
What's happening?
She just did the most fucking Skyrim gulp in the world and I felt it going across my leg.
Oh, she's a little Skyrim burpee.
Yeah, that was just sorry about that but that was grim.
What? You've embarrassed her, poor little thing.
Making her conscious about her gulp.
She was just gulping.
So I got two major topics want to talk about today, boys.
Prove it. Two.
First is, well, speaking of Paisley in her aggression, um, I just noted down, Paisley becomes a weapon.
Oh yeah
I guess we have to
We have to talk about this
A flail
A what
A flail
A flail
A flail
My flail
She's officially
She's more useful
Put a pin in that
We'll get back to that
It was last Monday, okay
Whip your mind back to last Monday
Okay?
Mm-hmm.
And picture this.
Beautiful, ice-cold day, but sun out.
Nice and crispy.
Crunchy.
And I was having a nice day.
I woke up nice and early.
Early.
Luckily, I edited the cast nice and early, got that done.
Done.
It comes out on Mondays.
Um, I did that and I looked outside and I thought,
Bloody hell.
Looks lovely.
Lovely.
And let's stop the Leviathons from coming.
And Leviathons are coming.
coming I wanted to go for a hike because I figured you know the the ground's going to be all
icy and cold and all the slop might perhaps would have dried up so I got Paisley all ready
for a hike put on my tiny backpack and um another thing with my tiny backpack I got these you know
there's like hooks that explorers have hooks I've got a little one of those that I've got on there
what what hooks do do explorers have James you know the hooks that's exactly what I'm going to
do you mean like a clip yeah like a clip I've got a hook I go
We've got a little clip.
I clip it to my tiny backpack.
Like the one on my backpack with the hot sauce.
No.
They're different.
You know, oh my God, everyone knows the clip, bro.
The adventurer clips.
The Johnny Thunder clip.
Okay.
Anyway.
Lego Johnny Thunder.
Yes, of course.
Who else would it be?
The like metal clip.
Yes.
You know, those adventurer clips.
That's more like a hook.
But anyway, the Johnny Thunder clip on my backpack,
which I attach a small,
net
and I attach it to the hook
so as I go on my hike
whenever I see
a Costa cup
or some gross
garbage I put it into the mesh bag
and it hangs behind me
and it cleans up the environment
the environment
I like it's being a pick me
so I uh no he's being a picker upper
yeah a pick litter litter up litter picker
Does it really make you a pick-me if you pick up poop on the floor?
No.
No, I'm just taking the piss.
Are you putting poop in the net?
Only my own.
But anyway, that's kind of completely irrelevant to the story.
Right.
But I was just enjoying my day thinking, like, right, yeah.
Oh, were you just virtue signalling?
Yeah, yeah, just a little bit.
Just a tiny little bit.
Ow.
But I went on a lovely hike, and it all went swimmingly.
I do so so myself.
You went swimming?
Well, I tried to take Paisley to the lake to go.
swimming she does love a paddle or two however the lake was frozen frozen no
chance there was a swan frozen to the lake did you walk out like in the
Walking Dead to save the swan we're falling in the water yes did you save the
swan or did it fall in the water I just watched it for a little minute but
anyway I got home from my lovely hike and guess what
it wasn't as
because the sun was out
some of that ice had melted
making some slop
Paisley was slopping in slop as dogs do
getting all sloppy. She was a sloppy
girl. She was covered in slop and I figured she can't be
in the house being so sloppy as she is
hence why I need to clean her.
So I thought
hmm, well I've got to
I've got to fill up my bucket with some nice warm water
because I don't want to use the ice cold water that's outside
why not? Because
I didn't want to freak her
that's fair enough
use the ice-cold water boy
well I'm gonna have to now
so what happened was I have a small
blue pop-up metal table
in the garden
the most like
in for the audio listeners
and the visual listeners actually
is the just British summer furniture
in your garden
everyone knows the metal foldable
everyone knows one of those
fairly heavy right
yes but also fairly small
Fairly small, only two-person kind of table
Really
So I pop that up
I tie paisley around it
Because I don't want to go into the garden
On to the slop and getting even sloppier
So I got her there
She's chill
She just lies down
I go get the bucket
Take it inside
Fill up the bucket
Nice warm water
Nice warm water
And I wash her with a car sponge
You know
But not the same one I use for my car
Yeah
because she's quite a scaredy cat at times
and so food yeah
that'll keep her nice and chill and fine
and normal
and normal
so I bring this bucket outside
and she sees the bucket and she goes
and she starts a cycle of
freaking herself out right
she starts pulling to get away from me
with the bucket now and she's about to get
a lovely warm clean
getting all the mud of her
oh wow that's really going to be horrible
And somehow in doing that
She starts moving the table
Which is a loud metal noise
Because it's metal
Scraping against the concrete
And which frightens her even more
So we start escalating
She's freaking herself out
She's pulling away from the table
But the table's following her
And the next
I don't even know how long it was
The next
It felt like five seconds
With how quickly it happened
But somehow
she basically became a chain chomp from Mario somehow dismantling the table so it was flat again
this metal table and she starts running in circles perfect circles in the garden being chased
in her mind by the table have never seen her so frightened and so aggressive towards something
she was like like really like panicking like properly panicking so and she's running in circles very strong
dog. I'd underestimate how strong
that damn dog is. But like when
they're in that panic mode, they're not thinking logically.
So of course, the momentum
of a metal table being dragged by
fully grown golden retriever is quite
considerable. Metal table
spinning behind her, decapitated
my favorite apple tree.
When that happened, I was like, I've got
to act. Can't lose another tree. Can't
lose my glass panels.
This is getting actually kind of bad.
At first I was like, she's going to tire
herself out. This is insane. We've just been for a huge
hike. How much energy does she possibly have?
Turns out a lot of energy.
Wasn't stopping. Frightening, even.
So I have to like
time it.
That was her howling just then.
What was wrong with that dog?
She knows you're talking.
She's like going to go and get me or something.
She's parking at the table
in the garden. Yeah, so as you can imagine
there's like a chain chomp and you've got to time it right
because I didn't want to, my fear was that I was going to
jump, land on the table.
table, land on the table
go flying
land on the table and then be on the table
like riding in the train style
but luckily I timed
the jump fairly well
like landing straight on her
like pinning her down to calm her down
but of course in doing so
I somehow destroyed my thumb
and my knee
I don't even really know how
but I managed to get on her and stop her
And the second, like, I stopped her moving, she was just like, yeah, what?
Meanwhile, I'm like, literally, it's so embarrassed.
Literally, you know, that joke and family guy, ah, for God knows how long.
But, like, I was holding her there doing that and was like, right, and then I got the bucket.
She still had to get to watch.
Yeah, because I had to watch her.
still like just in agony yeah in fucking agony um still not really like probably a little bit
in shock to be honest of like I hadn't really realized like what had caught up to me yet
because it was like that so quick yeah when you hurt yourself like that is like just
looking in the garden these like mud smears and I was like slopping in the mud all like
slipping and slide in and oh it was horrible um yeah and then like I yeah clean her up get her
inside and then the pain hits and I'm like oh my god my fucking thumb I've like I've sprained my
thumb but of course I was more frightened that it was perhaps broken busted or yeah but I think
it's just a sprain it's healing pretty quick but it's pretty nasty can you move it yeah well
when I at first I couldn't like link all the fingers together like this um like I could do
these ones and then for the fourth and fifth um and of course it's my dominant hand
that I do everything with um it honestly might be worth still going to minor injuries
well that was the thing it was like I really didn't want to do that no if I'd say I
wouldn't but that's just because I'm very I just know with it with with
With stuff like this, I'm pretty sure the longer you leave it, if it is busted,
the longer you leave it, the more permanent the damage can be.
Yeah.
And you don't want limited range of motion in your thumb for the rest of your life.
That would suck.
Yeah, and I've never, I don't think I've broken a finger before,
so I wouldn't know how that feels or...
No.
No.
But it is, it's healing.
Motion is the most important thing.
If you're able to...
Also, when it happens, get ice on it.
That's what I did.
I got the ice on it.
Yeah.
It's the three things.
isn't it? Ice, shower, spice.
Ice spice. Then watch
Ice Spice TikToks. Yeah. That's really
what saved me in the end. Yeah. Gets the
blood flowing. But it was literally like, I got some
ibuproof and took it and it was like counting the seconds for it
to hit in because it was so painful. But I couldn't
like do anything. I had to go like lie down because it was like this
consistent throbbing pain.
Do you not find that when
when, when pain
like that when you start feeling the throb
do you not think that that's quite like nice
some throbs are nice no
some throbs are nice but not that
I just remember but every time I've been bitten by
guys I say that as if I've been beaten by
a lot I have
obviously I've got I've got a nice scar on my hand
and when he punched my skin there
wait it's just like yeah I feel like I'm gonna vomit
but then it was like oh it's getting
it's getting the throb but it's kind of like
oh that's kind of calming
and then you just lell it like
then the gangrene sets in
that one was pretty gangrene
yeah yeah
there was like green juice
pouring out of that
yeah and everyone was just like
James go to fucking A&A
and I was like that
that one you did go to
in the end right
one of them you did
one of them you did
no that was a finger
that was um
oh yeah yeah yeah
my finger just went
it swirled up to like
triple the size
and it was purple
and it was like maybe I go to the doctor
what do you find worse
like interior
injury or exterior
bleedy things
oh interior is much worse
yeah yeah yeah yeah exterior stuff is like you kind of
like when you've just you cut yourself doing things sometimes
it's like you just become like oh yeah yeah because I often will do that
I remember it was so dumb I've got this really sharp kitchen knife
and I like I just yeah just clean the knife after using it
and I took it and was drying the blood
and I just went
and like halfway through doing it
it was just like committed to it
and it's just like
that is nasty
it's horrible I hate that
yeah slices like that
I always sharpen all my knives as well
like obsessively sharpen all my knives
so they're nice and sharp
because I hate when you're cutting an onion
and it slips
yeah I want to avoid that at all costs
I keep them nice and sharp
but of course that means
there's more room for injury
I guess
so yeah we've cut
It's like you either go surface level where it's just like,
oh, it's a bit of blood and then you go to a bit deeper layer
and then it's like you can feel the parting.
It's like, oh, nice.
And when you can see like a bit more than you should,
you know, like the layers in your flesh, that gets a bit...
Yeah, too much for me, so...
Sorry if that's a bit TMI for people out there who get...
Yeah. Some people get squeamish.
Hopefully you're not eating your dinner or doing other things.
I hope you are eating your dinner.
I hope you're out on a run and you're feeling a bit sick.
Yeah.
Run harder, fool.
Yeah, so that was...
I do have a question.
A successful Monday.
I do have a vague...
Just another manic Monday.
Blue Monday.
Did you not think...
Do you not think looking at Pacey
doing this with the table behind her?
If you just grab the table...
You couldn't though, bro, because it was...
The force was like all being channeled into the tables.
Was it staying in the air?
Basically, yeah
It was like sliding
And as she spanned
It was like
Like crash into every
Because the gif I sent
Regarding this story
Was
The vault
Oh the vault from Fast and Furious
Yeah, it was similar to that
Yeah
Like are you sure
You couldn't have just like
Yeah
Like I think
If you tried to grab it
While there was a lot of motion
Yeah it would be like
An impact on your hand
But I don't think it would have
Like sprained your arm
So you could have just grabbed it
Oh yeah
What I should have could have, bro.
That's the thing.
Or do you not think that he will literally just stop at some point?
That's what I thought, but it was escalating.
I was like, I've got to take action.
I double down first now.
I'd be like, okay.
You could get a way worse injury, though,
trying to stop a metal table than a squidgy fluff dog.
A metal...
Alex is injured.
A mid-air metal table.
I think you maybe might have got to be able to grab that in a way with the limit.
But if you, like, slip on a curb on a brief.
and bang your knee and then it's like saying well if you jumped off the bridge
like you know that's not that's not the same i mean it could have been worse if like i was scared
of the table like hitting my legs yeah that would have been yeah that would have been worse
that would have really hurt yeah with the force that decapitated my tree yeah it could have taken
your head off or cut all your limbs off and i'm just like chasing after her on your arm
arms you know yeah yeah so yeah pretty narsed pretty nasty is a silly girl yeah i swear is i
always have these crazy incidents are you a bit glad it happened though well i'm glad to get a story
out of it you know it's always worth it if there's a story yeah like burning the fence down but i
actually have a problem what's that and this is a you why did i find out for an image you posted on
Twitter. Why didn't you actually
tell me?
For the story.
At no point. I just went on
Twitter in the evening. It was just like, oh yeah,
I saw Alex yesterday. Something, nothing could possibly
happen to him. I got on Twitter and it's like,
oh, I can make noodles while with
a sprained hand. It's just like, bro,
I saw you like 10 hours ago. What the
fuck do you mean?
Well, yeah, man.
Sometimes I like to save
stories for the cast, you know?
That comes at the expensive
of me bro and jim and jim but anyway that's enough of that because i want to talk to you guys
about something why we really i don't think we talked about it on the cast and it really it's been
on my mind it's red dead it's not red dead no that is on my mind it's banned the same way
red dead instead no but listen we were all there for this and it's and it was a phenomenon
and I do apologize if we did mention this on the cast
we can just cut this short if we did
but it's a phenomena we all experienced
and to this day I cannot think
of a scientific explanation
is this the one? Is this the flashbang?
What do you think? Yeah.
The fucking flower? No, this is fuck's my mind.
The flash. I've never experienced
anything like that because I don't think we've explained
I don't think we've ever told this story.
We might have done. We were.
We might have mentioned it but like maybe when it was fresh
or I don't know.
Jarlings, maybe science.
scientists within our community
the people who know something who aren't us
we had an experience
it was a while ago now when was it a year
or two ago yeah it was probably one summertime
so it's when it's getting dark yeah
it's getting dark you know later
and we went to our local town
chippinem for
caribbean no it's Caribbean wasn't it
I swear it was back from it yeah it might be yeah it was the
delicious local yeah yummy yannies
um so it was
dark I was driving
you were driving
it was dark
and we'll drive him back
we're driving literally leaving the town
we go around this round a mile
you know we're speeding up
and then suddenly
the whole entire fucking sky
goes daylight
and not just a flash
it goes daylight for like
two like probably three
five seconds max
it wasn't that long
yeah it was no it wasn't like a light switch
it wasn't like a light switch
you're tripping if you thought that was
three seconds
but three seconds is
fucking long.
That's what I'm saying.
It's short.
It wasn't, it wasn't like a switch.
Two.
It wasn't on and on.
Three.
It wasn't that fucking long.
It was enough that it fucking made me glitch out while living in my life.
It was that long where I was just like, what?
But the holes everywhere filled up with this white, blinding light.
The trees looked green.
Like that's, it was crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah, the whole sky filled with light.
And from memory, the, the, the,
the lights.
light turned off.
The...
Is that right?
The lamps? Did the lights go out?
Or they were already off or something.
It was like, it was towards sunset, wasn't it?
So maybe it wasn't dark enough for the...
I don't think it was...
No, I think the sun had already set.
Yeah, I think the sun had already set.
It was dark.
It was dark.
I'm pretty sure the lights cut out
and then there was the flash
and then everything like returned
to normal and it was like, huh?
Yeah, it was like...
There was like...
Because I remember then, because as soon as it happened, we were like, what the fuck?
I thought I'd only seen it.
So I was like, what the actual, is this some weird phenomenon?
And yeah, there were five of us.
Yeah, in the car.
And we're like, what the fuck?
Yeah, like what?
It freaked the fuck out.
I was waiting for a noise.
That's what I was waiting for.
But there's no noise.
Nothing.
It literally just happened and then nothing was different.
Yeah.
I was like, what is that?
What is that?
EMP?
Well, what is going on?
Well, yeah, I wondered if it was like a transformer.
But this is the thing.
I thought that because of the lights turning off.
I can't think of what they call.
But why would it feel the entire sky there?
This is the thing.
It doesn't feel like an isolated, like, aerial thing
because it's all of the sky in the distance was all light.
And we had, like, a proper, like, open view.
Like, you could see for quite a lot.
You can see the hills, like, approaching what I live.
It's like this much airspace.
And all of it was, like, bright-colored.
It's like when you switch a palette,
in, like, any gamer there's a camera mode,
and you can switch the filter.
It felt like that.
Yeah.
But everything would just become like really saturated.
Mm-hmm.
But what is it?
What was it?
The moment it happened, I, it wasn't lightning though.
Again, though, waiting for the sound.
There was no sound, nothing.
There's no sound at all.
But we also weren't in an area with a transmitter.
There was not a, but we were also in a car like listening to music talking.
No, we weren't, the music wasn't allowed.
But the scale of what the visuals, there would have been like a sound to match it, surely.
I don't know.
It was really far away.
I mean, I'm not saying it wasn't weird, but you want to just explain it.
But there's no reason, because the area where that was, was leaving the roundabout, we're entering countryside.
Yeah.
There's no transformers.
There's no obvious light source that would cause.
And obviously, even if the light source was in our direct area, why did it feel every bit of sky that was in the, within a mile's range?
I've never seen anything like it.
But this is the thing.
As soon as it happened, I was like, fuck it, I'm going on chipping and fucking Facebook spotted.
to find
to this day
there's no record
of anyone
mentioning it happened
which is fucking weird
yeah
so I keep thinking about it
and I can't come up
with an explanation
I think that is the weirdest bit
is that nobody's mentioned
no one meant
because it's just by
in Chippenham
it's like Randawe that leaves
right next that I roundabout
there's a housing state
and there's houses
on either side of us as well
so there was people
in that direct area
who would have seen it
So how has nobody ever mentioned it?
There were cars, like, in front and behind us as well.
Yeah, coming to the moment
that I was leaving, yeah.
But somehow, I've never, ever...
I've, like, gone back to search for it around that day.
Never, ever been mentioned.
What could logically make an event of that scale?
I know some people are going to say flares.
Because flares are highly illuminating,
but that's a different kind of light,
because it's light downwards as those flares facing down.
It's not illuminating all the known sky and view.
And, like, yeah.
It wasn't like there was a point where it was most bright.
No, it was literally the entire sky was white.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it wasn't like a flare where, you know.
It goes up and then it's a small, a sort of origin point.
And I can say it's not a flare because where I live is actually directly opposite
one of the artillery ranges for the British Army.
And we've seen flares there.
Yeah, sometimes you hear the tanks in the background.
We used to look at that and think, what on earth is that?
And it was just like, oh, it's flares.
Yeah.
Because they just fly up and then illumination slowly falls down.
But it's not flares.
The only other explanation would be like a meteorite or, you know, a meteorite.
A meteorite.
Mealterite.
Because naturally, as they enter the atmosphere and they get to that speed, they do emit horribly light.
That's true.
I hadn't considered meteor.
But it'd have to be a fucking huge one.
I would feel the whole sky with light like that.
Do they do that?
They do, they do, they do make a whole lot of light.
But if there was no way it could be,
because surely someone would have fucking noticed a fucking measure.
It felt like, and I know this is cringy,
it felt like when a video game glitches.
Yes.
Yeah, it did, it did.
That's why we all had to say, like, you saw that, right?
Yeah, it was like, it's just a simulation,
just like they actually turned the bindless setting off.
They ran out around for a minute.
Or they put on daytime and they're like, all shit.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what it felt.
and look like, and I know there's probably
some phenomenon that has been like noticed
that does this. Yeah. But it's the way that
the trees and everything look like daylight.
Every single detail of everything nearby
look like daylight. Yeah. I don't
understand how that can just happen.
So outside of being tangentially
related to Jim's ghost experience, that's the
only supernatural thing I've ever experienced
and can't explain. There's no, yeah.
Like, I'm thinking of it now. I'm remembering it perfectly
and it was like
horrifying. How?
Yeah, how?
why what I feel like there there is definitely an answer and someone I've
googled like I've googled everything to do before having them light
phenomenon please if a jarling can think of something something out of the box
you're good at thinking out of the box give us give us theories because this is
it's been on my mind I can't get it out of my mind every few weeks I'm like
what was that what is going on yeah I have I have actually no idea like
I know what it was.
But it can't be a transformer.
It was the flash going speed force.
In that instance, the flash traveled back to a different timeline,
had a whole plot and then fixed it and came back in that flash.
Really confusing.
But I just don't like the fact that nobody mentioned it.
There's no record of this random light.
Because sometimes there is, sometimes it's like there's a random light and it's like,
Like, people are like, oh, what's this?
Because this is the thing.
We've got to realize that Facebook, it's extremely, like, exaggerated.
People will complain at the smallest thing on Facebook groups of, like, their town.
So there's no way in hell.
Something that weird can happen, and someone can't instantly be freaking out on it on Facebook.
I'm just so glad we were all in the car.
If it was just me driving by myself and I saw that, I'd be like, oh, God, I'm losing it a little bit.
It would have been worse if we all saw it.
but only we, I, like, only one of us, actually.
And then we're like, boy, what the fuck just happened?
You're like, nothing.
Well, how weird if, like, two of us saw it with the rest of it.
We're like, what are you talking, right?
You do.
That's how you find out who's an MPC.
Mm.
Like, the whole simulation thing, that's the only time,
only thing that I've ever experienced, like,
mate, there's no way that can just happen, man.
That's, like, straight.
Yeah.
It's like, I wish it would glitch in a more, like, obvious way,
you know, if it was, like, a huge piece.
of like Elon Musk's face or something and he'd be like ah come up you know
it's like you know sky room sometimes there's like a I don't know how to
explain this with the actual sky room thing but it's like a lighting glitch it like
you level up and the whole game just goes saturated white and then it returns to
normal that ain't gonna mean that it's like such it's just such a video gamey
thing yeah like if there is a lighting bug or engine issue do you think like NASA like
going to space is essentially
us going out of the map.
There's no detail out there.
It's sort of darkness.
Yeah.
It really is like Starfield.
That is literally what is out there is that shit.
Yeah, we're just going out of the map.
And a few people have been out of the map.
Damn, like that.
What's their YouTube channel where they go out of,
they like specialize in going out of the map of, um.
Oh.
Yeah, out of, yeah, I know the one you mean.
Out bounds or?
Yeah, something like that.
Border.
Yeah, something like that.
Bounds.
Yeah, I know the one you're phone, too.
Yeah, it's a good channel, fun.
Yeah, I do like that channel.
But, yeah, I guess we'll see after these messages
if there's nothing more to say on the flare.
Yeah, it can't, like, okay, so it's not a transformer,
there's no way it could be.
It's not flare.
It might have been Gandalf.
It could have been Gandalf.
It was kind of like Gandalf, you know,
he holds up his staff.
At the top of the hill.
Yeah.
Yeah, you conceal me.
It's blinded me off.
It wasn't that bright, though.
No, it was, it was not like.
It wasn't like the sun was like right there.
No, it was just, all, the sky was blue.
It went from black to blue, and then just changed.
It was like white, that's what I remember.
I remember white, bright, white.
Bright, white.
So, you know, if you were, do you not think that some people see this
and instantly think it's like divine, divine intervention?
They're like a proof of God.
So if you can do that, why not just be like, you're right?
I'm just going to tell you.
Yeah, tell you.
Oh, right.
If it was divine intervention, just be like...
Yeah.
Yeah, but be a bit less fucking subtle.
That's the thing.
Yeah, exactly.
What am I supposed to interpret from this?
Like, I want you.
I want to go into the bathroom, look in the mirror,
and my face just morphs into like a god.
And he's like, unreal.
Jesus.
Can you not think that I'd, like, traumatize the fucking shit out of you?
Can we not, like, break that down?
Go on then?
I would love that, to be fair.
in the mirror and seeing
your reflection morph into God
like that's what happened to Kanye
yeah that is true
there's someone else in the room as well and they're both
seeing the same thing so we're both in the
right yeah that's a huge
requirement because if I was
if I went up like through some cave
and then there was a bush burning and it was like yo
these are the rules man
I'd be like well I've lost
it I'm gonna go check in
yeah you would just convince yourself
I'm fucking nuts.
I've eaten something and I'm tripping or...
There's the worms in your brain.
They're just good going.
Yeah, I've got some sort of parasite.
Why if it seems so real to you?
No, no, no, there's no way to like rationalise it besides being insane.
Hallucinations like feel real.
That's the whole thing.
And it's why there's that question of like, how do we know that my green is your green?
Hmm.
You know?
Hmm.
That your reality.
is yours and yours alone
but do you not think that even then
even if you saw it with someone
that doesn't make it any more
believable to other people
you'd still have to work
so people are still going to be doubtful
now how about this as well
you happen to be filming a TikTok at the time
and it's recorded in that as well
you don't you don't upload it
no because no you can't upload it
you will create walls
you have to delete it then I'd ask the Bush
are you cool with me recording you
yeah and I feel like
you know what I've had my fun
I'm sick of
subtle. You're the one I've picked. Film it. Yeah, let's go. What would you title that
YouTube video? God, God-proof real. In frenzies. Yeah, just three words. God-proof. And you
probably get like the maximum of dislike. Jesus is back. Exclamation, exclamation, exclamation,
Mr. Beast. But Jesus. Yeah, I think God-proof real. Yeah. Do you not, but you, but you, I've been
I wouldn't want it to be God.
I don't want it to be like...
Yeah, I don't know if people decide
this fucked up because then it's like,
oh, there is some truly fucking horrors.
I want it to be an Eldrit horror.
What if it was like, like Hercules?
Oh, a Greek god.
Yeah.
He's like, yo, they were right.
You know?
Well, there's only one thing you do in such a situation,
let's be well.
If any of the Greek gods will, it's just like...
they are the best gods to be
yeah it's what the greek gods are the coolest
what are you alluding to you you're talking if hercules appeared in your bathroom
you're not going to go for that
you want to fuck hercules
yeah sure the the greek gods were immensely horny
exactly they're picking you because they know you're horny
so you've got to act on that
hey big hirk
they were cool I've got this
I've got this book about the greek gods
and they referred to them as just like
their motivation is just basically the
they're just bored
I can do it
so that's what I'm gonna do
I think that's an awesome
That feels more real
Yeah
You know
Like
Why would a god
Be so good
Why would it
Why would it?
You know
They'd just be a bit fucked
That's the thing
The Greek gods
Are just compromised things
They're just shitty
They just have so much power
They're hedonists
Yeah
That's what I mean
You want the hedonistic gods
Man
You don't want God
the fucked up ones
Yeah, because at least they're fun
Yeah, exactly
Yeah
Cis phis baby
Who's your favourite Greek god
Yeah, I'd team up with Cisphus
I don't know my Greek gods off the top of mad
Aphrodite
That's he'd like
I'd know the Roman ones
I like the booze one
The Roman ones
They are just like
They're very similar to the Greek
But even more
Nuts
Which?
The Roman gods
Oh right
Yeah
I quite like
Norse ones too, they're pretty cool.
Norse are cool.
I feel like Marvel kind of ruined it though
because I was originally going to say what if
Thor like appeared, but then I
thought everyone's going to think like Chris
Hemsworth. Yeah, imagine Chris Hamsworth
and you're basically... Yeah, imagine Chris
Hemsworth. You look in the mirror and your face
morphs into Chris Hemsworth.
That is like true if I'm insane.
I'm like, there and then I'm like ending it.
You are a god.
No, I want the chaos gods.
Onslanesh, boom.
At least they're not, I'm fucked.
Oh yeah, I guess again, we'll see after these messages.
Hey, it's me, Zeus, the god,
my fully endorse the jarmedia merchandise available in the description below.
Well, I guess, uh...
Wait, hold up, this is how we ensure the second half now.
The Leviathens are here.
The Leviathans are here
I'm just going to put a pause on the questions
So I can actually talk about this through a little second
That's a very pedantic reference
To something that's been happening in the YouTube community right now
The Leviathans are coming
There's a
There's a YouTuber who
He's a
And I'm curious your opinion on this
he's kind of a vigilante
PDF file hunter
you know what I'm saying
PDF file hunter
to get around the filters a little bit
um
these are nons
and uh
I
you guys know how I feel about people
versus Preds in these kind of
accounts
yeah
we know how you feel
yeah do we do you
I remember you went through a phase
went through a phase of watching people versus preds
but these channels always get taken down see
yeah well I saw a really funny video
that was like
the
the joke was like it was two of these channels
meeting right
and like they both had accused each other
and were like trying to
some of them I've seen some crazy
they're crazy videos
like vigilante content
the fact that it's real
that there are people out there
that like live streamed them
basically catching PDF files
yeah you know
yeah
one of the most iconic British means is from one of those
yeah
I'm gonna lose my job
yeah the crazier ones
have some of these people
they get so good at doing it and they catch so many people
they have this like perfect script
And they're able to sometimes get them to, like, call their significant others, call their mothers, cool important people in their lives.
And I guess they're so kind of like trapped in a situation, they do it.
And they like, it's watching someone's entire life crumble before your eyes.
It's mad.
But the Leviathan's thing was referencing someone who doesn't even, it didn't really even do that.
They're more just made these over-the-top, like, crazy over-the-top videos about people who they think are PDF files, I guess, but with, like, lacking research and just not conducting themselves very well.
This is slander, basically. It's just unfounded slander, then.
Yeah, and the problem, one of the biggest problems with this type of content is that it can actually hurt, like, legal trials.
can actually impede PDF files being put away
because some of the evidence can't be used in court or whatever
and that's what this whole drama is
yeah I think it comes down to
the motive and are they doing it because
morally they think it's
well that's the problem with the Leviathan's a cunning
fellow yeah this huge Patreon
of which most of the paying
patrons were
probably victims themselves
really invested into this thing
and thinking of it as some kind of retribution
but then it turns out five years of doing this content
not a single conviction
turns out
hadn't got legal advice from anything
aside from chat DBD
that's just a bit of a mess
and I feel like
they used this really crazy
over-the-top aesthetic
with like voice modulators
and like
yeah this crazy presentation
and now there's like these leaked calls
coming out of them all being like
oh yeah I didn't think anyone would actually think it was real
when I made these videos
like
it's real when I show the faces of the people
but everything else isn't real
so it's just like what the
this is crazy
because in a way like it's the ultimate grift
because who is going to
criticize someone who's a PDF file hunter
you know what you're supposed
to do about that and
uh yeah
yeah I feel like if
if that's something you actually
want to do
then like become a cop
or a detective
or get like
become like a
do you have to have a sort of
a hero I get it if like you were a victim
yourself and you feel like
you want to go out there and do something
maybe take it into your own hands
there's a thought process there but there's also
the inversely I guess the
the ego trip you'd get
if like you build this whole community up you've got your patrons
paying you 10 grand months yeah you're a hero
you're Batman yeah you are Batman
just not the
not the place
no no no
I just crazy
I want to kind of
just bring up quickly
your drink is really
interesting. I don't know
if you've noticed but the fruit have been
periodically floating to the top
staying there for a bit and then dropping down.
For those listening, there's one blueberry, one raspberry
and there. Look, the blueberry's starting to go up.
Oh.
Why? What's the science there?
Watch and then
if they've been doing it for ages.
Look, it's gone back down now.
What's the science there?
Um...
Bleach.
There's blitz in the trink
Yeah
James has
I've been poisoning everyone for years
There's no point going back now
That bit
Well it's going to be thermodynamics
And that
Hmm
Well this is the second half of the cast
We head over to the
Reddit suggestion thread
Over on the so Reddit
And answer questions like this one from mumbo bumbo
If you were a My Little Pony
what would your cutie mark be um probably the best one yours would be the
Illuminati eye yeah might be might be the Illuminati Pyramid
oh and we like come together we're like the Power Rangers yeah
ooh three-part imagery come on or like I'm a horizontal line you're like a
perpendicular left-leaning angle
and James is a right leaning angle
and when it comes together it's the triangle
the pyramid
come on think of speed
that was creative
that was interesting and funny
yeah I don't
I don't be in orangutan
wearing sunglasses going
I don't know what the question is
I yes you do
what do you mean you're saying
you don't know what cutie mark is oh I've never heard of that
yeah
Okay, well, if you're going to reject
I didn't reject it, I played ball
I played ball and I'm still being chastised
Is that's what happens now with the woke moralists
If you don't know your cutie mark
You get cancelled
Is that really what you people are going to stand for
In 2024
It's time to rise up against
We need to bring back common sense
We need to bring back common sense
we need to bring back
coolness
we need to bring back
yeah we need to bring back
the woke have gone too far
they've now got dungeons
they've got dungeons and they
they suck out all their calm
and they have a really good time
they have a great time they give them way too good
of a time we need to get rid of them
he wants them though you know he wants them
goonging yeah that's jealousy
bionno pizza says you're dying
you have to be in
with the DNA of a jar-related creature to save you.
This injection of DNA will alter you slightly,
giving you the abilities of said creature,
as well as slightly altering your personality,
picking up some of their most prominent traits.
Some of your choices are
Argy, Randy, Billy,
Shithead Larry,
Slim Shady,
Important Guy, etc.
Basically any jar pet or member.
Who will you choose, and how do you change?
Billy.
yeah but nothing would change
no you become psycho
nothing would change
sociopath
I know because it's like
your zoomies would be a lot more intense
yeah
very mine is fucking intense
um so like
would you have like claws
yeah
it depends what physical features will change
you'd be able to climb really well
you'd climb really well you'd have a tail
you'd be like holo
just because I
I'm watching Spice and Wolf doesn't mean you can use that as an offense.
But yeah, sure, in that case, Billy.
Billy by far.
I'm going to say Slim Shady.
Hmm.
What was it about Slim that kind of made you shady about it?
Um, I just want to be a rap god, I guess.
Hmm.
Was the cast Slim Shady on that level, or?
You mean Slim Shady, Fortnite star?
Yeah, I want to be at Fortnite.
what would you be
argue
but what abilities does he have
literally
shit bad bad though
the ability to enjoy
sustenance from your own feces
he probably
no he he enjoy
no I'm going to say it
you wouldn't change
I would like to combine with the important guy
no this is the thing
important man. I feel like I'd be very content.
No, but the important man is multiple people.
What do you mean? He's Tim.
The face, the face is, is Tim, but Tim's face has been on pictures of various people.
Even part of me is Tim.
Yeah, you've been timmed.
I have been timmed.
It's like, have you seen that weird Twitter account that's like, this is what you'd look like if you're black or if you're Chinese.
Oh, you mean, you mean V-loan?
V-loan.
And then he got Docs and it's like a 14 year old little boy
He got Docs and then his reply to Docs and was like
This was what I'd look like if I was black o'asian
He specifically says Chinese
It's always Chinese
That's the one last good thing on Twitter is that account
Yeah
Is it gone now? No, he's still doing it
Oh, right? He's still doing it but that's yeah
It's got it's got like a Matthew vibe profile picture
like a sun with a big smile
yeah there's a sun
you know that style of emoji that's like
exaggerated to hell
yeah it's not like actually on any phone
but it's like kind of overdrawn
and has too much shading and stuff
yeah yeah it's like them
yeah one of those
but it is funny it's generally
like a really funny
like thing
yeah it is
but honestly I feel like
after what Paisley did to that table
if I could have an inch of that strength
well we could
tie you to a table and throw a bucket of water at you and see what you did.
I didn't even throw the bucket.
I just stood there with it.
I know, but I feel like you'd need a bit more encouragement.
Yeah, you'd need to be abused a bit more to start.
Elio replied to that, or Elliot, sorry.
Can jar members be infused with other jar members?
If so, I think James slash Randy hybrid would be a danger.
I think that would probably level James out a bit.
I'm pretty level.
I'm in my chill-eower.
Wow, he's admitted it
Wow
No, I'd combine myself with you
It's like the question of like
You are V
Who's going in your head
Who's um
Brain
Gullum
Gullum
I feel like
If I was put on the
The mind destroyer chip
I feel like
I
I would
Like nobody would want to put that in the head
Imagine
Imagine me
being in your head
like the way Johnny is
but I can just appear in your world
and function up
That would be intense
Well it would be chill though
If it was like
A really old orangutan with the plate face
I'd be chill with that
It's just like sitting there
Yeah
If he was like always there
And I'm like
I'm stressed
I need to just like
Meditate with the
The rangin
Yeah
Instead of having someone else's thoughts
Also in your head
As they influence you to do things
I've never felt such a kindred spirit
To another creature
You know like
I saw this video of this old lady, like, meeting a penguin.
And she clearly, like, love penguins so much that she, like, she's, like, overwhelmed with emotion.
Mm-hmm.
And she, like, walks away, going, like, and it's like, that would be me with an orangutan.
If I, if I was up face to face with one, I've even, I've, I've, I've gone as far as to look up and research, like, you can volunteer to go and, like, work in orangutan, um, in, like, bonger sanctaries for, like, a week or two.
Mm-hmm.
I would genuinely love to do that.
Why don't you?
Because it's quite expensive.
But like, yeah, I will do that one day, I feel like.
That would be so crazy.
I love a ring of tans.
What if they just decided, like, this guy ain't it?
And then pulled your arms off and you fucking ate your brain.
I didn't think it's some evil in you.
And they're like, you've got to be on this guy.
He can't survive.
Well, then I deserve it, you know?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But they wouldn't kill you.
kill you in a nice way.
They'd rip you limb from limb.
Yeah.
You'd be just obliterated.
If that's like,
they have the ability to sense
if, like, you're truly good or not.
Yeah.
In which case, if they did that to me,
then I deserved it, yeah.
Yeah.
I'd be fine with that.
In fact, I'd be, I'd be, I'd be, like,
with no arms.
Yeah.
It'd be like a...
It'd be like a gears of all executioner.
If you'd be a hand off
and just beat you to death of your own arm.
Well, um...
This is an interesting one for you, James.
Well, about James, more so from Mr. Blue Pumpkin.
A question for jar adept jarlings.
The host can obviously answer as well.
We all know James has some second impact takes on various things.
Not liking change in texture comes to mind.
That's an autism thing.
Although his cucumber opinion is valid, so they are siding with you here.
But nobody seems to have critzicizing.
his opinions on cars.
Well, I want to ask,
have there ever been a take on cars from James
that is a true Jamesism?
Something that just doesn't make sense
or is outright said just to spark reaction.
Basically anything that annoyed you really.
Yes.
I can think of one.
Yeah, you can.
I know you can.
I think we have the same one.
Yeah.
What's your one?
It begins with an R.
It went out.
No, mine's different.
Okay, yeah.
We went to see Boy in the Heron the other week
and I drove.
and we stopped at a certain point
and I had the handbrake on and you're like
bro, why I got the handbrake on?
Oh my handbrake in my handbrake opinion.
Yeah.
Oh my, okay.
You've always criticised me for this as well.
I don't say it's a criticism.
I'm always just like, why'd you do that?
Because basically, when I get in a car,
I pull away and obviously the handbrake is down.
I don't use it until I've,
stopped on the moment of destination.
It doesn't matter how deep steep
the hill is. It doesn't matter what I'm doing.
I never use the handbrake.
And it always
doesn't confuse me, but I always wonder like
why'd you use the handbrake?
And this is a normal car. Your car's
different because your car's an electric
car. Yeah. So you put
the foot down and the handbrake automatically
comes off. You don't
actually have to press it again.
But why did you put it on?
So I could sit there where it was like lights were waiting out.
But you could just put your foot on the brakes.
But then you don't have to worry about like someone smacks into your butt butt,
and then you go butt butt into the other butt.
Maybe your foot's on the brakes.
But if it's like shocks you, you know, you don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know all the psychos around you do.
This is the thing, the handbrake is going to do less than if it's on the brakes.
Because the hand, the way the, in a normal older car,
for example, take my Nissan, the handbrake shoes are inside the brake.
disc their brake is using the main brake caliper so the brake pads on the hand brake are
actually smaller and they're going to cause less friction less stopping power so by in comparison
using your actual brakes there's more of a pad contact on the brake disc which is
not going to move as much in such a situation that's how normal cars do and i know yours in electrics
is different but in that scenario it would be safer to use your brakes
not safer it would be because in the case in that scenario
but that wasn't the scenario
No, but that's a counterpoint
to your point there moving
if someone would hit you from behind
But also at the same time
We weren't on a hill
It was a slight hill
It was at those light temporary lights
Barely
That was like half a degree gradient
No
No, I think if you're driving a manual
You really should
On a hill
See this is the thing
Because I just clutch control it
so I would just have it when I'm stationery obviously you're not in gear
you're just gonna instantly come out of gear and put it in neutral
and you just sit on your foot on the brake
and then you're just gonna wait so when you when you need to pull away
you just put it clutch down into first get to the bind pull away
at no point in that time where you've lifted your foot off the brake
and gone down onto the gas don't need to you if the hill is steep enough
it will roll back a bit no because with the foot on the bite
you're gonna hold it straight though so you're not gonna roll back
And then as soon as you let off the brake,
because the bites hold in the car,
as soon as you're accelerating,
you're just going to move forward.
You're never really well back
because you're sitting on a bike.
And yes, this is correct.
You shouldn't do it.
Because then you're sitting there on the bike.
Yeah.
It's unnecessary.
But then I only get the bike
when I know the car's about to move
somebody on the bike to instantly follow up.
It is just a...
What was your one, Jim?
The Renaud.
Rennet?
What about it?
Because, like, James has historically...
Historic on the...
Any French car.
True.
I talk shit.
You poo all over it.
And then you buy one and it's like, this is my favorite car I've ever been in.
It's like, well, you're obviously just saying that because of like, buy it.
It's cope.
It's what actually is.
That was, you were on coping.
You hated so much.
You had to get rid.
I did get rid of it.
It lasted like eight months.
It did last eight months.
So, okay, handbrake aside.
Yeah, I understand most normal people are going to want to use the handbook.
But it's just because I just don't, no, it's not on my mind.
just clutch and troll it.
It's just my weird thing.
But I know.
Okay, so it is a fact.
It's a fact.
This isn't opinion.
This is not...
This is fact.
French cars are shit.
They actually are garbage.
So you take it back?
No, no.
This is a fact.
They are shit.
You said it was good, though.
You loved it.
So you take it back.
Let me get into this.
Let me get into this.
So the thing with French cars in general is they're known as being extremely
un-reliable.
electrical wise yes
because my Renault had turbo
electrical problems
they don't know
the French don't know how to wire things properly
but at the same time
French cars are always a little bit quirky
they're a bit weird
especially older ones
they're like quite artsy
there's loads of old citadans
that are just really like cool
I love the look of them
they're just like so elegant
and quirky and I love that
but you don't want to drive them
you don't want to drive them
and then there's like
older French cars, like, you know, during the peak of Group B and motorsport,
where they were making the phenomenal cars.
You know, mad turbocharged hatchbacks that were just mental.
And from a car guy's point of view, that's the desire.
It's like a tiny little French car of a huge turbo and you drive the shit out of it.
Amazing.
But current French cars are like, there's no redeeming quality of them.
They're fucking terrible.
And I owned a Renam Cleo.
So obviously when my lovely Nissan went into storage,
still is
I got I needed a second
I needed a car
so she went on eBay and it was just like
oh look at all these cars
they're all shit
they're all rusty
and it's like oh I found a Wenner Cleo
and I fell in love with the little shit
and I was just like I'm gonna I bid it
I paid more for it than I should of
because I fell in love with it
it gas lit you
it did it gas lit me into buying it
and then we went and bought it
we bought it from the most tallie fucking neighbourhood
in the world
it was so bunt
and I haven't been serviced in multiple
years and the miniskie workers didn't work and we drove back in a horrible
fucking storm Jamie took it the wrong junction because I didn't have a sat-nave
so I was driving down the motor for like an hour extra because I lost Jamie and then
I had to drive it for like nine months and in that time it I thought it was a
great little car and it was a great little car because the engine was a single
overhead cam 1.1 so you can drive the shit out of it and nothing happens and this is
The good thing. The engine's also
50 pit. They were about 50 quid off eBay.
So if I blew the fucking shit out of the engine,
I could put another one in it for like 100 quid.
This is the thing with cars. When you're buying a car,
you don't think about the car, you just think about how much
the replacement engine will cost. Right.
Because if you buy a car of that in mind,
you're never out of pocket because you can just put new
engines in it. So I drove the fucking
shit out of it. When I said I drove the shit out
but it was just like, oh, I'm at a junction, I'm pulling it to
Alex's, dump the clutch and fucking
just spin the wheels in first get into a
bounces off the redline.
How often were you changing the tyres?
I didn't.
Never.
I never did.
So they were just bare?
Yeah, they were, yeah.
How did you sell it?
How did I sell it and make a profit?
You did?
I made a profit.
But I drove the shit out of it.
And it was just like, you know, it's like, oh, I need to put out of a junction.
Because obviously there's a junction, there's a junction, there's cars come in.
I'm just going to floor it.
So it would be first get up to redline, second get up to redline, third get up to redline.
and by this time I'm only doing like 25
4th gear up to the redline
5th gear off the redline
bouncing and I'm only getting to 50
I had to drive the shit out of it to get it anywhere
Just great fun
Yeah I do like it
When what I like when you have a car
You don't care about is like
Yeah you'll just crash into a bin
Like you'll just scrape by the bin
My dad put my wheel even out on our road
Because it's a narrow country road
And it's like there's enough like space for parking
when I put the wheelie bin
like in front of his car
but like I had to
get out at like
12 at midnight to move the bin
so I was like nope
so I just reversed up to it
knocked it over
kept reversing
dented the entire door
caved it in
pulled the wheels off the wheelie bin
it was fine
fine was fine
and that was another time
it was one early morning
the roads were extra greasy
and that car had like
what do you mean they were greasy
no it's in the road was greasy
because it was cold
Like icy
In between icy
It was around this time last year
Slushy
Yeah kind of
But the traction was bad
You couldn't go on corners
As fast as I would normally
So
I was going to work
I was listening to
Probably like refused or something
Because it's on the mind
Then towards Melcham
It's like hill
A straight line
Then it's sudden downhill left and way
and I went around this corner
I was approaching a 60 and I was like
I do 60, 70 in every car around this corner
it's fine
go around the corner
start going in
the front
the front doesn't move
but the back does
on a blind corner
the back's gone sideways on me
and then it's like snapped
it's gone like completely diagonal
snapped that way
and oh by the time
I'm on the other side of the road
it then launches me up a bank
off the road up a bank
I go up the bank, swerve round, and then basically get shot out on the other side of the road on a blind corner and stop.
Because I hit the curb.
And then I was just like, in that moment, I was like, fuck, there's a blind corner.
If anyone comes down that corner, they're going to smack me at 60 mile an hour side on, driver's side on as well.
So I was like, fuck, slammed it into reverse, got out and then drove, and it's fine.
And that was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me in a car, because it didn't scare the shit out of me,
but it just really took me by surprise.
God, you're lucky, man.
I am lucky.
You're a lucky motherfucker.
Yeah, you could have fucking died.
I could have died.
Didn't it was just like, oh,
then I just continue going to work as normal.
But this is the thing.
The problem with that car is that you had to drive it,
drive the shit out of it to make it go anywhere.
And I generally got tired of it.
And I was just like, I need a car that's more sensible.
So I bought a normal sensible.
Sensible is not the right word.
No, it's really not.
Because Rone O'Clear is extremely sensible.
It was an extreme, great car.
I bought it for like
1,300 quid
and I sold it for 1,300 quid
I sold it for 1,350 pound
so I made profit out of it
and I only drove it terribly
But when you say sensible
Like the other day
In your replacement car
We'd met up in the evening
And then you were
You were driving home
I was I was like
I'll see you guys later
Yeah we were like
See you later
We start walking off
And you'd gotten in your car
And then we just hear
where the wheels
have just been spinning spinning spinning spinning
and then you fucking rock it off
and I just see your head like
grinning in the fucking window
that was a good one because it was icy
as well so I got no traction so it was like
start drop the clutch
get out of high up here bouncing off the limiter
but then I changed gear and then
was bouncing off the limiter again
and then I just drove home
and then when I drove home I got like half a mm
and I was like nah that engine is not making a good
noise so I was like turn the radio down
and I was like why is it making a ticking noise
yeah it was like minus six and you turn
the car on and just fucking
pedal to the metal
you know and I
I also have to do long distance
journeys in that I have to
do I have to drive to Brighton
in it just like a three hour drive
in a car that is like a bit
a bit woe it doesn't sound
good anymore but I bought it for
800 pound
my car ticks when it's cold
Yeah, it should
That should be fine
800 is pretty good
Yeah, 800 pound for a car
That is actually
Yeah, that's crazy
It has heated seats
Oh, lovely interior
Do you want to say what the model is?
It's a Hyundai coupe
But for the Americans
It's a
Tibbibian
But it's a nice little cupe
Why is it called something different in America?
Because they have the Hyundai
Cupé in America
And it's a way bigger car
It's a different car
Yeah, they're sold here
It's a giant, yeah
Great car
I generally love the Hyundai
but it just sounds like it's falling apart all the time
but for 800 pounds I can drive
I can do that in it
legendary because the engine's also really cheap
it's already had a new engine actually
what's your version of cheap though
what do you mean by that
I bought an RB for fucking 3 grand so
what's what I'm saying that's not cheap
that that's from this hand but the
the Hyundai engine was like 400 pounds
and then but obviously
there'd be labour to fit an engine
but we just do that ourselves
ourselves
yeah me and my dad
we'll just fit an engine
I thought you're implying like
we would do it
yeah you guys are going to help
me fit an engine
but no at my house currently
there's three engines
triple engine
yeah because no
there's been two engine conversions
outside my house
there's two cars
have blown engines
and then
you've got my engine
on a lipstick
lipstick
I blew an engine in the
the dihatsu
has killed an engine
the spark
snapped is what happened with that.
The end of the spark plug fell off and it went into the engine
and went bang and low
conversion. Great, but it's a tiny
engine, it's a motorbike engine, so it's really small.
It's a dinky little car.
It's a dinky, great, my powers are saying it.
The lipstick, yeah. What's it cool? What's the model for someone
listening if they want to Google it?
Daihatsu Copan. It's a Japanese kai car. It's an actual Japanese
car car. It is, it is a kai car with a
motorbike, a turbocharged 600cc engine.
Great fucking car. I've driven the shit out of that as well.
You know what the ironic thing was
When I borrowed it
I borrowed it for a week to get to work
Because I think the Nissan was doing something
I bowed it
And I drove the hell out of it
Because it's a motorbike engine
And a week later
The engine went bang
It was just like
My parents were like
James, why is the copen now dead
And it's just like
We let you use it and now it's dead
I don't know
No idea
Actually no
At the same time
The skyline
Same time I
my dad Skyline for the same thing
and I took that to work for like a few days
a weeknight of the engine went bang on that
as well and there's also
the Mazda 6 I owned but then I also
blew that up
was that bluey
no that was pre-blue that was the blue
before blue yeah yeah the crap
that car was terrible
yeah
oh we just haven't
wants about my silly stories of fucking cars
this is only the start though
you've destroyed like five cars
I've destroyed a fair few
And I've also destroyed motorbikes
I destroyed my
I blew the engine in my first motorbike
And then my second motorbike
I did destroy the engine in that as well
So so far
Only two cars have survived my ownership
Only two things have survived my ownership
But you don't treat the law like that
I'm going to that
That's why I'm building it
So I can treat it like that
No but that engine is also fucked
The Nissan's also fucked
because I hit
I was listening to
I think the cyberpunk sound truck
and it was on a rainy day
and because it was like
really dark in the morning
on my way to work
I didn't realize
I was hitting a flooded road
so I smacked a flooded road
at 601 hour
and the car
the engine's never been the same
my man
so I probably killed that engine as well
just fine I'll rebuild that
I'll strip that apart
and put a turbo on it
and it'll be fine
but yeah controversial
car stuff
Weno's a shit
and it makes you angry
because I actually love them
I do actually want to buy another Wano
to be fair
No, don't
Just get a pisser
That's the biggest mistake
Yeah
He
The pisser was a fucking great little car
No, but he got a good ending
It didn't
It did
I love that it's in the Congo
It's heart
It's living on in the Congo
Yeah, the important bit
And this is the Jaffans' fault
We were literally trying to sell it for like 400 pounds to do...
We got a weird amount of interest for the pisser.
But nobody came through.
People obsessed with the person.
Yeah.
The amount of people I had to message.
Should have kept that fucking car.
God damn.
You should have.
I could have literally owned it.
I bought the Wenow like a fucking few months after we sold it.
Yeah.
Well, that's because it was stuck on my drive.
My problem.
So why wouldn't have gone?
How's that my problem?
Um, Ogu, Gecko kid said,
Hi, Jow, the next episode is out on my 22nd birthday.
And as I've been watching since I was 14,
I thought I'd finally ask a question.
In what ways are less obvious and not too personal and interesting?
Do you think the Jaya boys have changed since you started?
Anything you do now on the POSDact that you didn't think you would have when you started?
Thanks for all the years of insane.
I think we're all just completely here.
Yeah.
I was extremely shy on that.
the first, like, you of job.
Yeah, we were, both you and I.
Yeah, we're just like,
and then you just can't shut us up.
Mm.
Which isn't about, like,
yeah, it's just a good thing.
Yeah, I think we definitely found our cadence.
Yeah, well, they always say,
it takes 100 episodes to get good.
It took like 200 for me, at least.
Times that by 10 for us.
Like, we're getting there.
we're crawling along
we're grovelling at the floor for the scraps of good outside
but yeah I do think we've all changed
massively I mean it's been nearly 10 years going by
he started listening when he was 14 and now he's 22
yeah
like we're encroaching on 10 years of doing this
obviously we can we stop at 10 years
if you want can we just end the decade and make a new podcast
with a different name
Yeah
What's the new one?
Rage
Oh
Rage media
Matt Pat
We just take Matt Pat's name
The Game Theory podcast
Yeah maybe we can replace him
Yeah
I don't know about
The other half of the question
Also happy birthday for them
For them
What do we have that we never thought we would have
A light bulb that changes colour
That's kind of fucking crazy
An actual set that's not bad
Yeah
It's like evolution in a way
Yeah
Like that great film
In the film we've got evolution
That's pretty cool film
Remember that one?
Yeah
I got two more I want to do
penultimate from
Revert to Monkey
If a Las Vegas casino
contacted you and wanted to make a
JAR Media branded slot machine
What would the design be
What music and flashy visuals
Would it use to get and keep people's attention
None
What
I wouldn't support the industry
No I don't support gambling
Yeah
There'll be a second part to that comment
In four months, three months time
Two months time
Last year
Going away
Vegas, baby.
They didn't invite me, by the way.
We did invite you.
Multiple times.
We can bring this up on the cast if you like.
Bring that up and drag me.
Let's fucking bring it up on the cast.
There's still time.
I don't have money.
I literally can't go.
I don't have to buy a flight.
You'd have to buy a flight, but we've got two queens.
Two queens?
I can't go.
Is that what they call?
Yeah.
I can't go.
We're going in...
Like a few months time.
Jim and I are going to Vegas.
Without me.
We're going to chill with Adam.
It's your choice.
It's not.
It is your choice.
You know I'm a hard-core Catholic.
Do you know what it'll be really funny
if you find Matt there?
You go there and Matt's then.
What are you doing here?
Yeah, it's going to be fine.
But I've actually never gambled before.
You know that?
I've never gambled.
Never even bought a lottery ticket.
Never even bought a scratch card.
I've bought lottery tickets and done a few of the, like, mini-games on the lottery.
Yeah.
But I got to pick a figure that I'm willing to lose.
Yeah.
Free grand.
I'm willing to just be like, piss away.
Like, a figure that I'd be happy with.
If you're going to piss away money, can you not just buy money ticket if you're going to piss it away?
Come on.
But like, but then you would need...
Oh, no, I don't gamble.
I wouldn't gamble.
You wouldn't gamble in Vegas?
No.
What would you do?
Nothing. I haven't drink either.
It's sober year, baby.
Maybe it's good you're not going then. You'd be bored out your mind.
Yeah. When you put it like that, yeah.
Hey, I'm a Catholic boy now.
Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready to smoke stogies indoors. Get my drinks.
We're in a hundred grand, baby.
Yeah. I'm not going to stop spending till I've made more money than I've spent.
you know and if I win some
then it's not enough
yeah if you win some you instantly put it down on table
yeah as soon as you can only increase it
yeah there are some good uh well a good Louis through documentary on
gambling acts in in Vegas yeah yeah really good one
yeah so that would our one be just you know you know like
just have it be like goon
shit.
Gambling is gooning,
but it's all just porn.
Probably are those machines
there, come. It literally is like born everywhere.
Well, yeah, but I mean, combine the two
because then you're getting people there for just like
the boobies.
Yeah, they're getting the hip.
Maybe that's one of the things you can win
like a flashlight comes up.
It's a full of coins.
And instead of it
bit like being like
he's one he's running
just sucks you dry
was it's like the sound of like
an orgy
it's moaning
voices
and you don't even win like
money you win like jar coins
to spend on the store
yeah
to get fucking stickers of this
yeah you win the jackpot
and it just prints out of Tim
a flashlight full of stickers
no it's Tim as a stick is a flashlight
Like a fleshlight turn.
Oh, that would be awesome, like a, like a silicone, like, mold of Tim.
And he like, seps you off.
Yeah, lips.
You attach like a Dyson to the other end.
Mm.
Yeah.
Mm.
Yeah.
Mm.
Right.
G.G.
375 can take us away here.
Hi.
I was wondering if any of you jailboys have advice about Korea shit.
about career shifts. I recently started full-time work at an accounting firm. It wasn't so bad for the first few months, but with the advent of spring also comes higher than usual working hours, with my firm expecting us to work 55 to 60 hour weeks. I complain, but according to my manager, this is far less than what the top firms expect their employees to work. This, as you can expect, is not ideal. I'm friends with many accountants who are also working at firms, and they seem to take these higher work hours with stride and pride.
but I can't help but feel I'm watching my life go to waste.
My real passion is writing, but I pursued accounting for the job security.
I only have to work in public for a year to get my CPA.
I thankfully already passed the barbaric tests
and just need to meet a certain number of hours to get licensed,
but still that has a long year.
And I'm thinking I may not have to work for two years in order to resume
in order for my resume to look up to snuff.
All this preamble is to ask,
What are the jar boys' perspectives on career shifts?
Is it always ideal?
Would it be a waste to suffer at this job I hate for a year or two
before doing something else?
How would you cope with having way less free time?
Thank you for the pod.
It does a lot to keep me sane.
I can relate to this.
I can relate to this.
Because I used to work in bookkeeping
and the lower levels of accountancy.
And I started doing the exams.
And they got to a point and I was like,
this is fucking miserable.
I'm not doing it anymore.
And I don't do it anymore.
Accounting shit.
It's like you get paid well
If you're being made to do those hours
And also I got to remember
I'm pretty sure it's the third highest
In terms of suicides
Accountants
It's a stressful job
And don't do it
Leave
But career shift
You just have to be open
To pursuing an opportunity
I used to always tell myself
When I was working in accounts
It was like
The next opportunity pops up
I'm taking it of all my stride
And I work in the same company
building robots so you just have to like grasp the opportunity yeah it's
obviously much more difficult if you're more specialized within accountancy
because then that's your skill set and obviously I had background and
mechanical that's why I just shift it doesn't mean it's impossible but when you've
got like specialized skills you're kind of us in that field mm-hmm well I don't
know if that's a sunken cost fallacy no it's not but it is like sunken time
fallacy. Like, I've put so much time
into doing this one
thing, I should stick with it
otherwise it's a waste. But you
might be way happier shifting.
You will be, I was. Like, if you stuck
with those exams
and finished them
and went into
accounting, there's
it's probably less likely
that you would have shifted
to be happier.
But it's
it's about like
valuing, when
up what you value um some people are fine with that like if the trade off is big enough
if you're putting the investment in willing to work a job you don't love but it pays good or
whatever that is an option i think i think almost everyone is programmed that way if if you were
told like you could be a bin man for a million pounds a year but it's like 50 hour work weeks
you probably would do it for at least a period of time.
Yeah.
You know, it, you have to weigh up more than just, like, the monetary value.
Yeah.
But as the, as GGG was saying, if he's got this creative spark that's not being scratched,
that's always going to be there.
And that's always going to be, what is going on with the fucking parts, man?
Who?
I can't even tell who it is, but that will always be there.
there in some form and you know i don't know if you want to have that regret but this yeah that's
your choice though um i don't know if you want if if your plan is what bunker down with the
accounting do it for 10 years save up get yourself into a super secure position then do the
writing yeah i don't know that's understandable if you want to do that because there's a lot
to be said for security and a yeah comfort blanket but yeah but yeah you can
can't undervalue your happiness though as well
yeah and you're miserable and those
itches like you said a creative
itch if you leave that
unitched for
too long it just dies
yeah
you may find yourself
in a place where no matter how
hard you itch that it ain't going away no
no man I know
I know uh it's
unfortunate it's overwork because the good thing about
writing is it's not you can
undo it um you know even if it was just like a page a day if you would like getting something out
there i guess the idea is that he's so overworked he doesn't have the creative juice yeah left
in him that you would if that's that's the tricky bit with yeah um time and as you get older you
just seem to have less and it's yeah opportunity costs and all this these kind of things
all this balancing up and it it we definitely have way more opportunity in this day and age
to shift careers that basically that wasn't an option
before like the turn of the the century or whatever
to the same degree yeah um but at the same time it does
get harder the older you get to change especially the more
responsibilities you have if kids get involved yeah if you're married
if you're paying a mortgage if you're paying rent yeah if you're paying
bills which everyone is um
yeah and the more people relying on you that affects your decision making yeah there's a lot to it yeah
but you got to trust your gut and then and uh trust your gut and value your happiness i guess
yeah well guys i think that's uh i think that's this episode a bit longer than normal but they
like it when we do one of these every now and again crikey any uh final words for the
Peep-pee poop-poo time
Um, bit peepie and poop-pea
Off he goes
Any final words, bro?
Um
Just believe
