Who needs a smoke machine when you've got a bloody fat gar? Fat gar? It is a rather fat gar. Who needs a smoke machine when you've got a bloody fat gar? When you have a bloodied, fattened gar. Yeah, I won't argue with that. Yeah, yeah. Well, bro, how you doing?

Am I? How are you doing on this Friday? It is a Friday. The song came out. It's a strange day. Got some Bit D. Yeah. Pumping through my, wherever VITD goes.

Um, where does VITD go? Vit D. Vit D. To the tummy. I'm sure as scientists, Jowling will fill us in. Um, but otherwise, good afternoon, morning, evening or night. Ladies and Jents, I'm welcome to, yeah, I'm just going to call this broadcast number two. Yeah, we had some.

Some people correcting us that this isn't... Yeah, I was going to reference a couple of those in housekeeping, but you're right. People are like, you've done broadcasts before. It's not number one. It's actually more like four or five or higher, potentially. Yeah, but more or less. You want us to keep this encyclopedic knowledge just there?

It's too much. I can't do that. I can't do that at all. So for now this is Brocast two. You know the deal, you know the jam I want to shout out those patrons over the Jail Media Patreon They make the audio version of the show possible

Of course And if you're a deba tier above Get your names Your crazy names, your wacky names You're sometimes a little bit Not Safe for Work names Yeah Or not safe for um

Ethics Hmm Not safe for ethics Like attached to the end of this episode Get in there You'll get in for one month comes after April, a little bit of May Yeah, you could be a maybe

Maybe Nice So as I said, let's do some housekeeping then Because we're We're behind Last episode we were selfish Took the whole episode up for our Nauty, bloody Vegas story

Which I want to touch on From what I've read of the comments people are like oh I love this bit of this tonal shift yeah I love it when this happens so we're getting mixed messages yeah so what do you want

do you want us to become like travel vloggers yeah what do you want that's fine is it something to do with it's less interesting when only one of the three has gone somewhere and it's more interesting when you both have gone somewhere maybe maybe you have more to say or something yeah but on On that same note, Royd 656 says, I legit don't understand why people don't like trip episodes.

They are far and away the most interesting episodes slash stories to me. And when someone replied to that, making a joke at the term trip episode, every episode is a trip episode. James is on Adderall, Alex is on LSD, and Jim has been smoking weed. I always find it funny, they're like things we get assigned and just how incredibly wrong now. Although that one is probably like That's not too bad I've seen worse Yeah that's

I feel like James and Adderall could go hand in hand I don't know if he needs it It's like meth Yeah I mean Does anyone need? I don't think we have Adderall here I don't think it's legal in the UK We've got different types of meth We haven't got the like science

Ability yet in Civ We need to to unlock Adderall. Clara Bellum on a similar note says, don't listen to the haters. Please continue putting out travel episodes because I'm living vicariously through them. I'd love to, personally.

Any excuse to travel more? Yeah. Every time I go somewhere, I feel like I get the bug, but then real life gets in the way. Cajol says, this jar set is like the ugly duckling of the jar sets. Like when it was first unveiled

with the boys sat at that table. It genuinely hurt to look at, but now with the LED, lights the candles and all the props has become my favorite that's what it's always been that's about evolution yeah it was just a new form and of course you're in that you are in your awkward ugly ugly duckling stage you know you're figuring stuff out haven't gone through puberty yet you don't know what you're doing you know look at us now baby yeah look at us i feel like time of day it's going to be different pretty soon i feel like time of day has a big effect on how the

looks um yeah you either get the the what is that like heaven for those listening i'm pointing to the window that's in the background that gives us some natural light we often record in the evening but every now and again we have the chance to do it during the day like today yeah and for those who don't have daylight savings or it happens at a different time and then the year or whatever the clocks change so it gets darker later yeah so then we're probably going to get That's not to say we don't get some nice colours when the sun sets, when you find, you get the nice pink, I've been hogging this. Thank you. I think when the sun sets, you're right.

It looks very pretty, but I, my, my strategy when reading comments is like I don't, I obviously don't watch the video because I'm, you're in it, in it. I, like, I remember, like, 12% of what we talked about, you know? So I just, like, go down the comments and stuff on a Monday, usually, see those immediate reactions. But after reading that one, I looked at it and, like, I went back up to the video, looked at it and thought, wow, like, I don't think there was much intentionality from us. Like, we didn't, we went like, let's make this one look fire. I mean, it did. That's how it works, though, yeah. It came out.

That was a good one. It was like the right color contrast. There was some color theory in there. Yeah, there's still more to be done. There's always more to be done. It's never complete. Interesting one here from J.H. V.B.3. MP.

Notes from an American. Mount Rushmore is a garbage tourist trap. Stonehenge is far more famous. Those folks you talk to were just uneducated. And about Chick-fil-A. They are known for their customer service. I used to work there and they took it extremely seriously. For example, we had to say,

my pleasure, instead of, you're welcome. It's all part of their clean-cut Christian branding Most fast food places outside of tourist areas Will treat you like shit in the US But Chick-fil-A will always go the extra mile To humbly serve you in the name of Truett Cathy, aka Chicken Jesus I think that's the old CEO or whatever

Chicken Jesus Of Chick-fil-A And Sam Will said Mount Rushmore Built less than 100 years ago Stonehenge built 5,124 years ago Yeah That's kind of a good way of putting it Yeah

I guess I feel like more Americans would know Mount Rushmore Like the world We'll know of Stonehenge more But Americans Yeah There's obviously gonna be a bias there to your thing

Yeah It's pretty iconic right It was in like Team America Yeah yeah Vehicles like fly out of it But then like I feel like Stonehenge is referenced just as much and pop culture and

I don't know To me it's almost like not knowing what the pyramids are but whatever Yeah I mean to be fair Stonehenge is less impressive than the pyramids Way less impressive

But the age and the history is cool So what were they doing? I personally prefer Avery Avery's like the cool stonehenge Yeah And they're pretty close to each other So if you're gonna see one See both together

The gayest jar fan says, howdy mingers? As a red-blooded American who's almost 30, I can definitely say that the gun brain rot is real here. I remember when my school first installed metal detectors in the mid-aughts and started doing regular gun safety drills in addition to the usual fire drills, the paranoia every time in a large crowd has made going to events harder. My local mall shut down after a handful of minor shootings.

The fact that there are minor shootings is telling enough. It's a very stressful place to live, especially for a racial minority, so yeah. No question, just wanted to say that. bear bear game on I'm glad this has come up because I just watched a video that I think everyone should watch who's like who feels anyway about this topic like for or against yeah by one of my favorite YouTube channels horses mm yeah still got to check them out yeah he he's done a video about um did the salting video right like adding salt things

yeah because um that that video is kind of about like seasoning um yeah what it was about like white people um having boring food and he kind of goes through it because he used to be a chef yeah um but yeah this video on guns he goes through like the history of like the the national identity being tied to guns and like the love of guns is like cultural um and that's why it's such a culture shock I guess for us to have these conversations

yeah oh it is something we probably have on our minds while we're here but yeah um it's it was quite depressing to go down into the comments because like he's he's basically just he's going through like history um and the amount of people like calling it biased and stuff and like he he may feel like the the channel horses like he might

lean one way or the other but i think from the information in that video like you to disagree with it is to disagree with reality, you know? And I think that's a big part of like NRA gun lovers. And some people treat amendments like the, almost like a religious doctrine. Yeah, yeah. Um, I guess that's why they call it conservative, right? Because they're conserving those. The thing, yeah, the status quo.

But like in this video, it goes into how like the second amendment. there's there's differing opinions on like historians the way it's interpreted on yeah how it's interpreted and what they actually meant like what the amendment yes it's like if the founding fathers were creating it now with the context of now would it be would it look exactly the same I don't know like weaponry was very different when they were yeah but also language was different so what they wrote down could mean something else to what it how we read it and like that he goes into it well far better than I can but it's quite a poetic way to phrase it bear arms you know yeah yeah it's quite open I guess um yeah like what do

you consider an arm what do you consider yeah yeah um well bro as you said we're behind if you're okay with it I'm okay with it just going in just just just go in let's go through these questions, yeah. So we've got a few. Let's just go for it until the mid-break and come back. Right. Rip fluid's going to get us going. I was, I'm surprised it's taken this long for somebody to do this, but it's been done. Bear bear besties. I've come across a website called Y-T-KS dot app that allows you to scan entire YouTube channels for keywords and phrases, providing you with a timestamped clip of the words being said. The only caveat yet being that it only scans the 297 most recent videos, meaning it scans from

JARCAST 138 onwards. Using this website, I've compiled a list of topics often brought up, aka a comprehensive list of how much shit you actually talk. So, oh my God. Yeah, uh, it's broken up into two categories names and topics, right? So, Jim's name has been said a total of 2,296 times. Jim, has been said 1,299 mentions, and Jamie has 584 mentions. Alex has been said 200, sorry, 2,342 times. So just about, just under 100 last, it's actually very close. It's like 50, actually, between us.

Then what's your guess for James? I'm going to say like 5,000. That's a really good guess. It was 4,480 times James has been said. completely dominating us with the name mention. Yeah, I can believe that. And that's because, I don't know, I don't feel like I'm the main Alex.

I don't feel like you're necessarily the main Jamie. But James is the main James. There's never been a more James than James. Yeah. Yeah, because when I meet someone else called James, it's like, you ain't, you ain't, like, fit in the bill, man. Exactly. Whereas I've met other Jamie's.

thing is a bunch of people call me James yeah because they're a common Jim and James Yeah A lot of Jameses are Jims And it's It feels so wrong to me Because like

That's James Yeah those two letters that are different Make a big Creates a different packaging Yeah it's Yeah you're right Right, James is the most James, James, James. More James than James Bond.

So this I found interesting, right, on the topics. Skyrim has been said 172 times. Okay. Marvel has a total of 323 mentions. With the caveat, if that didn't include the first 130, that's, I'd double that. Yeah. Man, what?

Especially early. Why didn't we even talk about it so much? Because that was peak Marvel. Yeah, I guess. But it's not like we were ever like really into it. It was just like the zeitgeist. Like, I don't know. Just everyone was like hyped up until endgame and then it was just kind of like, yeah, whatever.

We've seen it. Yeah, MCU has been said 32 times. Marvel has been said 291. Fallout has a total of 525 mentions. Fallout has been said 313 times. New Vegas, not including the most recent cast, has been said 212 times. New Vegas includes Fallout New Vegas

so the results are skewed. That's crazy. But I guess it does come up a lot. I've never even finished a Fallout game. I actually watched the first episode of the show in the bath last night. Oh, really? Do you want to touch on that?

It's like an hour and 15 minutes long. Yeah. initial emotions I might not be the right person to talk about this because I really am not a fallout guy but to me the fact I don't have to play it is a huge plus because I've always found the world

and the aesthetic cool yeah yeah I gave me your saying I enjoyed that first episode I'm going to be real plotting was pretty good I quite liked the characters the

production design was pretty good my biggest hangout was like everything I was liking like the way the vault looked and all the kind of stuff from the games you'd recognize they start getting to the power armor stuff I'm just like does it look a bit CG

it's always more like it's on that line of like very cosplay like and this is just me and the way I view the like fallout world like to me i know there's the whole brotherhood of steel and i don't know all that complexity but fallout would be cooler to me without the mexed in it i think everything else is cool um that's not the hook to me i know that's like such a big deal to

everybody um but that was the only thing around like i'm not i'm not feeling it with this this mac shit um that's like an off that's a common complaint i have because i'm not the biggest like mech guy. Yeah. See, my feeling on that specifically was that wasn't really a thing

until Fallout 4. Like the obsession with the meck thing? Well, they weren't like mecks before. Like in New Vegas and all the ones before

it was, they were just like the best bits of armor you could put on. It wasn't like a thing you climbed into. It was just armor I much prefer that

as like an aesthetic like they just have a shoulder or something. Yeah, yeah. Or they're just wearing a helmet maybe, you know? Yeah. so yeah so I'll see how it goes

it's already one of those like people are just lumping it in with like the Lord of the Rings show and stuff like that but it doesn't seem like that level because bro Walton Goggins he's a cowboy no yeah I'm in I think from the opening scene with him and the ending scene with him in that first episode

I'm kind of like I'm here for Goggins like this is sick like what they're doing with him his whole costume his swagger he's like a ghoul yeah he's he's like way undercredited for how good he is he's a like i've loved him since the shield where he's like yeah one of the most awesome complex characters in that show i yeah i think he was the best thing from that show like his whole story that was why i was watching it he's like yeah yeah he's like a tragic character um yeah him and michael chickles are like just

in that show the main guy you know the thing from yeah fantastic wall Yeah, you're right. Yeah, awesome show. Check out of the Shield if you haven't seen that. If you're not in after that first episode, I don't know what's wrong with you. Yeah. But going back to the keywords. We digress.

Star Wars has been said 497 times, so Fallout has literally been mentioned more than Star Wars, which is crazy. That is ridiculous. Because, like, we are or have been up until the sad years. Like, Star Wars fucking nuts. like if anything was gonna come up the most yeah yeah it was everything um for star wars to be below fallout that's crazy yeah that's not right below like skyrim I guess you're real like Bethesda thing you know they're really not like my studio like yeah

they're not my bread and butter but this one just takes the cake there Halo it's been said 1,113 times so it just decimates all of them that's that makes sense yeah and I'm fine with it we can we can officially call ourselves

a Halo podcast true when we feel like it because it was I put like Halo in that space with Star Wars like with the like growing up and the yeah there was something like

my first introduction to Halo was in like that after school thing like that we went to there was someone in the year below me who was like obsessed with Halo and he was like telling me about it and making it sound like this

mind blowing like thing yeah that's how that was like the reputation of it had this like I have to know what that thing is that he's talking about yeah the word of mouth power that that stuff had like so I heard about it first in primary school

yeah yeah same and Matt and James both loved Halo but I'd only hear about it through what they'd say and like when it came to playing it it was like

oh my God yeah this just changed my world because I played Halo 1 and 2 at Friends House yeah and loved it but then 3 just changed everything

yeah so yeah that's not that surprising but there are key words fart has been said 355 times So less than HALO

Shit has been said 422 times This is interesting Piss It's been said 849 times Wow Piss more than Pissing on shit right now Piss more than shit Yeah piss is pissing all over shit

But this one takes the cake The poo Has been said 1,144 times One Oh no, sorry Like 30 less than HALO 30 more than HALO Sorry.

Hey, more. So we officially care about poo more than... Pooh and Halo podcast. There's still more though, bro. Honorable mention words, normal, has been said 1,278 times. So that's more than Holo, that's more than poo. How?

And man, we got some, like, new additions that are catching up quick. 613 mentions. Wow. This includes gooner and gooning. In a relatively short space of time. In a very short space of time. Goonings coming up. Yeah.

The rock. 216 mentions. The rock. The rock. Reynolds has 156 mentions and finally. Dopamine hasn't been said in 10 episodes. Obviously that ruins it, but that's pretty good. That's like multiple months of no dopamine being thrown out there.

It hasn't been said in 10 episodes. At the time of that comment, yeah. Wow. that's pretty good any thoughts on that my bro um that's funny you can do that now yeah yeah yeah that's awesome it's it's kind of surprising in some places but in others surprising but not yeah yeah it just uh yeah so shame it can't include that first 130 but yeah i feel like that could throw everything that would change some things i feel like but um yeah who would probably skyrocket again as well as halo and marvel yeah um

Agreed. I don't think it would really affect fallout too much. No, I feel like that's a more kind of recent obsession that we just won't leave. Um, we'll come back with some more questions after these messages. Yeah. Life can be a dick sometimes. So get your dick from out your hand. And don't be a dick, wear a dick. Dick the head t-shirts available now.

Check the description below. Yeah Alright my bro Welcome to the second half of the cast Where we continue Answering questions We don't normally do this for the whole thing We normally start here

But we're in a deficit right now And we need to catch up Yeah Like the UK economy Oh Don't get me started bro Don't even get me started Ask us questions on

Ask slash jar media About the British economy Yeah keep it like Really specific to the UK To isolate every other audience member that isn't in the UK. Buy Meemu Marmite. Can get the second half going here.

2016, Jarling here. Which means in a couple years, I would have been listening for 10 years. A lot of older content creators I used to watch have had children, started families, etc. And taken a step back from content creation and got me thinking, with how consistent you've been all this time, what major life events do you think would lead you guys to taking a step back or even stopping the cast? All the best. Thank you for all the great stuff over.

the years has always helped me whenever needed cheering up you are welcome thank you thank you yeah that's an interesting one because my philosophy with jar is that the longer it's been going the more value it has kind of the more it's kind of documented of our lives the more reference points there are and the more change an audience member can see in a cast member which has some of value to me um but as far as what it would take to step back that's a tough one because I don't know if it's corny or what but like doing this once a week is like this consistent just this consistent like yeah no matter it's kind of been the one the one thing in my life that I've actually stuck with for like it's like an absurdly long.

about time yeah um we've said it again again there's like there's no obligation it's all about just like yeah i my my feelings is like the the reason i do this every week is because i like it like it's as simple as that yeah yeah it's um it's an awesome excuse to see you every week yeah and it's fun uh-huh um and like because there there have been conversations over the years about like turning it into something else and like making it more of like a a career quote unquote um but i think what

it would inherently change what it is the idea because it would be more like chasing something instead of just letting it be yeah and i like because the way i look at it um after we did that nostalgia critic video yeah if we'd have started like honing in on stuff like that and chasing those things like we could have oh yeah i still think that would be possible to do um well yeah if that was something we actually really wanted to do yeah but my my thinking for now is like i i i want to to be able to do this but I want it to be um free yeah I don't want to feel pressured by algorithms and like yeah I feel like um through knowing you and I've watched a lot of

YouTube over the years and every like content creators talked about like the burn out the machine the farming almost it becomes like farm yeah it's crushing your soul and it like pops up and it's like this video did really badly even though it was like you did a different thing because you were really passionate about this thing yeah but fuck you for trying to do something else because you got to fit into the correct thing yeah you got to you got to milk the mula um and i don't really want it to just be well work yeah you don't want it to feel like work um the only thing i would like i guess is

and i've had lots of people message me since we kind of backed off doing more like as they say is and like media talk and whatnot i'd like a bit more of that yeah me too but it's often just like a time like just lining up thing like it's a big investment if like you're talking about a game like red dead a show like invincible or something like that requires everyone to be on the same pay um yeah often all just doing our own thing well yeah and like like i i work like 50 to yeah yeah 55 hour weeks um yeah so like to to take the time out to do this is like this this this is like the the enjoyment time this is chill time yeah um yeah it's like i feel like it's a good level um but yeah I agree. I'd love to be able to do more stuff.

The audio listener base has also been getting bigger and bigger over the years. It's almost more becoming about the audio version in some ways. Yeah. I don't actually know the pure reasoning for that. I'd be curious if people have something. Because a lot of people like watching us. Yeah. I think in the earlier days we were doing more like gimmicky, funnier, like.

Yeah. And we still do that, I know, I guess. Yeah, they tend to be less wild. I guess that's part of the evolution. It's just growing up, you know, but... Yeah. And we've done a lot of the gimmicks as well. Yeah, get more creative, I guess.

Yeah, we need to actually, like, get some furniture on the ceiling and strap in and they actually be upside down. That's one of the... That's one of my favorite gimmicks in all time. One thing I would say about like, I mentioned it before in the cast, I think, about content creators when they have kids, the fine line of making that part of your branding, part of your content, that makes me feel really weird. I think I would lean more towards, like, if I had a child, never mentioning it. I know YouTubers that have children that have kept it a secret. And I've told me that

And for that exact same reason Where it's just like They never asked for this They don't need any of this I think if you're posting pictures With your baby and stuff You should be blown out of that face You know

I really think like child actors And that kind of thing is too far It's too weird It's like the next level of that You know The next level of like invasive If you grew up in like Do you remember that channel

Like it's called like father of five Or something And he turned out to be like a real level like a real asshole and it changed the whole landscape of the way you can monetize videos with kids in for the better really because it needs something needed to be done about that because it was abuse little kids should not be involved in content creation it's like what's that little boy who's he's like so big on YouTube you see like toys of his in like the supermarket you see his face on

things and he's got this smile he must be like six or seven um but he looks like glazed he looks like fucking dead yeah um and there's something so wrong about that because it's like that kid better be getting you better be putting that fucking money in a bank account for him when he turns 18 yeah you better be giving that shit to him um because he's gonna resent you forever ever yeah he's a little boy even then there he's like that's it's not right your child Hoodhood on camera, like... I can't stop things about Jake Lloyd, man,

because they completely changed the trajectory of his life being in Phantom Menace. It ruined his life. Like, straight up, ruined his life. Yeah. And that was just, like, allowed to happen, and that's, like, one of countless examples of kids being abused in Hollywood.

Yeah, I think that's very unfortunate. Miniature Ranny says this. With the mention of Derek Savage in the last cast, I'm curious. What's Alex's view of that whole situation so many years later? Yeah, I mentioned I talked to someone who was tangentially related to Derek. I had a few chats with them. And what I said at one point was,

it feels like a lifetime and eternity ago that that happened. It really does, yeah. And, yeah, I feel like a completely different person to whoever I was whenever that happened. um so it's sad to me to then look at what derrick's doing now and it's just completely static um i see no change in fact he's probably gotten worse as far as the weird like being creepy on twitter like reusing old films and like trying to release them as like new things and it's just it's just sad um it's like quite a long time it's nearly 10 years um yeah it's got to be right and he's old man he's like 60 something so man could I

had a good thing. Do you think there's a point when you like, when you get old, where it's like the time for change is done? You just lock in. I think, I refuse to believe that that has to be the case, but I feel like a lot of complacent people just like decide. It's too much effort, it's too much energy to like reassess my beliefs or whatever I've been doing for so many decades. It's easier just to continue doing what I'm doing instead of reassess some things. Yeah. Because I feel like that whole progress is like compounded with the internet and like the way people communicate on there and the things you see. Like I was saying earlier in the kitchen, like I don't even know what like memes are anymore. Like if they are references to things. Yeah. The pace of everything

seems to have increased um which didn't like start with the internet um don't think so i feel like it has like i think what what i mean is like it wasn't like the internet became a thing and then immediately like it accelerated to that point it's been like a gradual yeah yeah increase of speed but i feel like it an acceleration it's like changed every it's changed the dynamics of everything the joke is like in the 60s a guy who wants to fuck a toaster it's just a guy who wants to fuck a toaster

but now he can find a community of people who want to fuck toasters and go from there you know yeah that's just wasn't an option before yeah and the ability for that group

to have like an enemy group as well like how did I even get there from Derek Savage? I guess his Twitter uses His lack of changing The static nature, yeah Yeah

So yeah Just kind of a sadness And the more details I've learned about him As like an individual And his like relationships with people It's just like Oh

It's just kind of really sad Dibby collector says There's question for the gym goes of jar Hypothetical by the way What would you do If you see someone Come into the gym Do one set of 10 dips

And then leave again He comes in every other day. He doesn't increase external weight over time. Same exercise every other day. Uh, um, I mean... What's a dip? Like a... When you lift your body weight.

Oh, okay. I like, I do these things, but I just, I don't even know, like... I watch videos of, like, tutorials, and they're, like, specifying all these, like, specific muscles and, like... Mm-hmm. things and like just just show me the picture the the it depends on what that person's goal is and like their age and whatever yeah my gut is to just be like who cares well yeah um because that that's a really like cancerous thing all over um gym related social media where it's like someone

filming someone else in the yeah i've seen what the fuck is this person do the the thing is like I hate gym content like that engagement it's just horrible and like some jacked fucking guy like

this fucking idiot and then like all the different fitness YouTubers like have beef with each other they all have like different advice

and they're all jacked as fuck or a big engagement bait one I've seen on Twitter is like girls in like really tight gym clothing like setting up and being like look who looks at me

yeah yeah it's just like such obvious engagement bait yeah um it's for the views everybody it's for the views i feel like that stuff's like worse than ever you know yeah like it peaked with the like prank stuff on youtube but like i don't know everyone as a community just like turned on it was like this sucks like stop yeah but it's it's like everything now everything is prank this homeless guy and i'm gonna give him 10 grand yeah and then you find out afterwards it's like i actually gave him a hundred quid yeah yeah yeah

I bought McDonald's. It depends what this guy's trying to do. Yeah, like, who cares? But, like, if he's just trying to maintain, like, that fitness and, I mean, 10 dips, I feel like, it's probably not crazy to say the majority of people can't do 10. So he's obviously got to that point. Maybe he just likes the level he's at.

Yeah, I think he's wasting his money. money if he's paying for a gym membership to every other day do ten days. Yeah, you just do that in like his house. Yeah, just get like a bar. Um, yeah, um, he's not going to get like stronger doing that. See, uh, I, I've never actually been to the gym. I have the luxury of having a gym set up in my garage. Um, I've never actually been to the gym. The only time I've had a membership was just for the swimming pool which I'd use multiple times a week

but I never actually used the gym gym um so I don't know I don't people looking at me I don't want I want to show myself it's kind of good

for the opposite in that like a lot of exercises that I wasn't confident on because I started going to the gym when I was like 15 yeah um

and there was this one guy like my story is that I started doing push-ups at like I think I was 13 or 40 because I wanted to be stronger. I wish I'd started like then. It worked to a point, but there was someone in my year who was like, I remember, he was jacked.

I'm going to become a unit. I'm going to become, like. What was he eaten? He must have been eating crazy protein. Like, whatever, I'm sure part of it is genetics as well. True, yeah, that does help. He's naturally tall and broad. But we are gifted with that as well, though.

That's like the only reason I've like, started exercising since doing the 23 and me thing or whatever because I'm like I'm like because he was wasting these jeans just like yeah you got these power lift the jeans no matter what your genes are you can still improve on what you have mm-hmm right um especially it was like our dad was like he was like ripped at one point he's like still like strong um and I remember like being a kid like looking at my dad's arms and being like why aren't I like that Yeah, why am I tiny? Yeah, because that was my whole thing for a while.

It was, like, being really skinny. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean, just, he played rugby. That was it, really. Yeah, yeah. He lifted weights as well, though? Yeah. I don't think he ever...

Like, trained. He didn't do what, like, I do. He didn't have, like... No, no. But he was playing sports a lot. Yeah, sports all the time. We traveled, like, across Oz. Like, sadly professionally is a right.

rugby player so yeah yeah um but that's what i mean like some people genetically are just going to lean towards a more like so if you look at our mom's side of the family all the men are really like lean skinny and cyclists like tennis players like badminton more like yeah table tennis um yeah yeah so we've we've got the mixture of the two um i feel like my physique is kind of short and broad um whereas you're like taller and broader um I just yeah I feel like I've like wasted my potential

um with that it's never too late to start look at that guy who's like don't eat all this fucking sugar that guy he's he's like fucking 60 years old and he is yeah in mad shape no I was saying that to it was when we're going through the airport and stuff I kept like pointing out like there's something about like a dude who's like 50 or 60

and they have this physique It was in Swindon That's right We met in Swindon That's right Because I'd gone there to buy some shoes And um That

Like he must have been Like his face was old Late 50s Yeah yeah Maybe 60s His face was old Yeah and but he was Fucking shredded

He was Yeah Yeah and seeing a dude of that age Looked like that It's like god damn Did you get steroid vibe? It didn't seem like steroid vibes. I don't know.

No, because he... I don't know, that he had like a natural look to him. He was like... He was big, but not too big. He was the kind of big that if he put on the right clothes, you wouldn't even know that he's big. Yeah. Yeah, but I just thought immediately, like,

what's... What are you doing? Yeah. Like, let me know what you're doing. There's something scary, but like, that willpower to be like, to not be like fuck it I'm 60 I'm pigging out now

yeah there's definitely a discipline to that which I respect a lot yeah I gotta read this one from Italian stallion too because this made me laugh there are still a significant portion of Americans who think roundabouts are a bad idea I'm a licensed transportation engineer in the US specifically road design

and I've seen toddler level meltdowns at public meetings before any sort of proposed changes to improve designs of current infrastructure the worst being on a roundabout project in the middle of bumvuck nowhere, South Carolina. What can only describe as a planned ambush, where 20 plus local residents who were mostly all old and uneducated, showed up at the same time,

five minutes early and started throwing insults at the project and at us as people. Thankfully, I was able to get it through without retaliation, which would have just made things worse. The project manager eventually just started laughing at people because of the absurdity. The people eventually got bored and stopped because we weren't reacting the way they wanted us to react. There's a lot of reasons why the roads here are the way they are, which I won't get into too much, because it's really complicated and mostly politically and economically driven, and doesn't really have anything to do with the actual design and functionality.

There's a bit of a movement here to get it somewhat under control and have areas that are synergistic with all forms of transportation. But if it ever gets noticeably better, it will probably be at least 75 plus years, and I think that's being generous. Americans are used to it, I guess, but I'm afraid if I ever visit the Netherlands, for instance, where they have amazing infrastructure for all types of transportation that I may never want to leave. I'm sorry for you Americans on this, man.

I'm really, like, I get upset about it here and in comparison it's nothing. But that's what I think about, man. I think about Denmark. I think about Sweden and Norway and fucking all these places. Yeah. I don't know how...

They've sold Americans like such a lie. Trains are bad and buses are bad when it's like bro go to London but the transportation in London is incredible oh it's mind blowing yeah if like every

city in the UK had that level of transportation it would just be like oh it would be next level yeah um yes it's it could work countrywide because like

yeah do we give a shit about trains like Like, like, stopped caring about trains, whereas like, well, yeah, we look in Chinese, look in Spain, look in France, built thousands of miles of train tracks, boosts everything. Mm-hmm. Like, there's, there's no question in my mind. Yeah, I, I can't understand how we can look at these other places, see what they're doing. And, like, it's like, work, it's up and running, it is functioning, it's working. Yeah, working better than it is.

at home so but because it you think it's like a communist hellscape like in your mind like everyone has to go to bed at the same time of the night and like eat dinner at the same like it's a authoritarian dictatorship like is that the reason for not yeah you've sold a false bill of goods on that one I'm afraid yeah yeah so messed up when you prioritize and it's so young as well that's what's so annoying where it's like you had this blank canvas yeah really did have a blank canvas you know like we're restricted by how old everything is here like that that gets in the way of infrastructure we'd have to knock a lot of stuff down yeah yeah like roman buildings like yeah yeah stuff like listed buildings you can't do yeah they had the blank canvas man and they

fucked it mm-hmm they fucked it yeah because when everything when everything is profit motive first That's what happens, I'm afraid. Alex, anti-I-H-E anti-capitalist. HMPO says, howdy, partners? Glad to hear, you guys had a good time in Vegas. Sounds like complete hell. I've got two follow-up questions for you. First, is there anywhere else in America you haven't been

you'd yet like to visit? And second, is iodized salt really not a thing in the UK? I've never thought about it and not being common outside of the US, so that kind of sticks out to me when you guys briefly mentioned it if you do come back to america one day you should first drag james here as well and second visit the beautiful state of ohio i'm sure you'd love it there take it easy partners and yihar as we say here in the greatest country in the world um there's so much of america i want to see still yeah i want to see cowboy country i want to see um i want to go to texas i want to

see Austin um i wouldn't mind going like we're good bro we're like white boys yeah british like we're fine um we're we're fine in texas uh i want to see that texas hospitality i want to try that texas barbecue but also want to go to new york i want to see definitely are there so much in america i want to see the it's just the frontier like just driving through the small little uh slice i got to see of seattle from but drive from Vancouver to Seattle, it's like, this is, this is beautiful. This is a scale we just don't have here. It's like so flat, so open. And there's something like awesome about that. It kind of makes you understand the like insular American mindset as far as like, why would you

come over to Europe when you can get snow, you can get desert, you can get jungle, basically, you can get woods, you get anything you want, beaches. Because it's such a big landmass. Um, I think one day, like a road trip needs to be done. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I've, um, I've been thinking about that for a long, long time. Mm-hmm.

So, our parents did that in the A-2s. Yeah. A bunch of the landmarks, a bunch of the cities you want to go. Yeah, I'd love to do that. Mm-hmm. I don't know if there's, like, any state I'd even be against seeing. Um, I'd just prioritize some over others. yeah for sure but yeah I'm not

I feel like the only state I don't really want to go to is Florida I would go you would I would I because I think I'm actually planning with Adam a Disney really oh was that in LA actually I can't remember where it is there's

there's Disney World whichever the there's a Disney one is considered better I think it's in Florida I'd check out Florida Yeah For me it's L.A. For me it's L.A. Yeah, I mean, I count

When we went as children To L.A. I didn't know anything about like L.A. culture or anything Whereas It was better that way. I'd maybe spend a day there to Gork But I'd want to be out. You know?

Yeah, I don't know what you'd do. in L.A., apart from, like, network. Like, that seems to be the... Network, go to the beach, run away from homeless people. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I can't see I'm particularly interested in L.A. It's more east and central for me that I want to check out now.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think New York, Austin. two of the big ones at the top for me unless I'm not thinking of anything obvious yeah but yeah it's just such a big

landmass it's like where do you even target it's hard to um like with my mindset of being English and not even travelling that much within the UK yeah like I've never been to Scotland

let alone yeah yeah conceptual the quantity of space Yeah Isn't easy Mm-hmm Yeah, exactly Yeah

Let's do a couple more here Before we wrap up Oh yeah, I needed to do this one From Conscious Date 3533 Hey boys, long time listener here This is a long one so I apologize in advance I started listening around episode 50 In early high school

And I've been a weekly listener since I'm now in the final few weeks of my surgical rotation for medical school. So maybe sometime soon there will be a surgeon, jolly. Well, maybe there already is. I'm convinced that in 2020, I was the number one listener to the normal episode. I'm talking dozens and dozens of times, if not triple digits. This was a result of a consistent ritual I committed to, which I called the normal reset. During periods of sadness, anger, or stress, I'd simply listen through the normal

episode and allow my mind to relax. By the time James will start talking about his ugly boots, I'd be entirely calm. It got to the point where I'd begin mouthing along the words. The script was nearly memorized. Needless to say, I've since matured. Nowadays, it's been replaced by the most recent Bougar Gold episode, which I believe will go down in history as a classic on power with the normal episode. I realize that I tend to do this a lot with different things. I attach myself to certain pieces of media periodically to an excessive degree and adopt them into my routine as ritualistic familiar distresses. At times, this has been movies like Pride and Prejudice or How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or albums like Neutral Milk's Hotel in the Airplane Over the Sea

and Phoebe Bridges Punisher, which I'd wish or listen to dozens of dozens of times. Sometimes I'll repeat. My question is, do you boys have any pieces of media that you've attached yourselves to to a potentially unhealthy degree either in the past or present. I apologize for the extensive question. Bear, bear. There are a few things. I would consider Red Dead in that category.

Probably the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The OG Star Wars trilogy. This is some of the big ones for me, the OG Halo trilogy. Probably the Mass Effect 1 and 2. These are some of my bedrocks. special interests you could say

for me um Faisley this one pays Arkham games Batman oh yeah oh bro did you know what

market divine coffee shop has just bought Batman related he told me today what's he bought he's bought a vintage Adam West Batman poster

like legit Let's put, like, real money down on this. It's going to be in the coffee shop. Is it? Next week. Oh, shit. That's so cool. Yeah.

That is so cool. Dark Souls? Yeah. Uh. I mean, Star Wars as well. I won't repeat too many of yours. Um. I mean that's a good list right there

yeah I feel like music as well falling back onto like certain albums for certain times yeah albums is a good one I'd say like Discovery Duff Punk

um Demon Days Demon Days for me 100 that's a big like formative obsession for me probably I didn't say weird like maybe a deep pull

that Joe's drummer album um yeah the orange cover I can't remember what it's called the album yeah that's like one of those bedrock ones the Beatles number one

the queen like four disc best of thing that was like another formative thing um yeah I even say like I don't know

maybe not now but um like some of the like Nintendo shit from like that era um late GameCube

Wii type era there's a bunch of stuff there like you know you're Mary Galaxy's your yeah the like the virtual shop on we some of the stuff

that was on there we just rinsed I mean Mary Brose 3 yeah which we attempted to actually finish a legendary game

yeah it's probably my favorite so far yeah yeah it's no question for me there's

mm-hmm and there's like such a yeah a ritual to it you get your whistle or you choose not to get a whistle

you make these tactical yeah And the co-op, like, swap in or whatever, yeah. I think we had a fair few there. Yeah, it's the kind of question I'd have to, like, prep for it. I would say the book, Animal Farm as well. Really? Yeah, because I read it fairly young and something about it, like, really wrong, true, I guess.

Okay. Yeah. I suppose I've got to mention this from Bob Candler As Wiltshire lads I was wondering if any of you have heard of the man who believes he is a reincarnation of King Arthur He's also a druid And is stood as an independent candidate for Salisbury in the last several elections He has had several legal battles against English heritage regarding Stonehenge

If any of this is amusing to you you have got to check out his Wikipedia page Arthur Uther Pendragon There's a lot more silliness that I haven't mentioned He has been the source of many jokes Between me and my Soulsbury friends over the years game on I'd never heard of this fella But uh He's back

Do you want to wrap this up by me going through some of this wiki If it'll let's hear this So Arthur Uther Pendragon Is a British eco-campaigner Neo-Druid leader Media personality And self-declared reincarnation of King Arthur, a name by which he's also known.

Pendragon was the battle chieftain of the Council of British Druid Orders. Born to a working class family, Pendragon served in the British Army's Royal Hampshire Regiment before being discharged following an injury. Identifying as a greaser, a former, he formed a biker club known as the Gravediggers. moving in counterculture circles at free festivals around Britain. After reading a book on King Arthur by the occultist Gareth Knight, he leapt to the conclusion that he was the reincarnation of the mythical king and changed his name by Deed Pole.

He formed the loyal Arthurian war band out of his supporters and began describing himself as a druid, angered the English heritage charged entry to visit Stonehenge, using the money for restoration and preservation of the archaeological site in Wiltshire. Between 1990 and 1990 and 1991, he picketed outside the site on a daily basis. I love this is bringing the Stonehenge thing, for circles. Later that decade, he joined various eco-protests against road development across Britain and, with the Council of British Druid orders,

campaigned for open access to Stonehenge during the solstice. For several years, Pendragon, Engaged in direct action protest and was repeatedly arrested. English Heritage agreed to implement open access to the solstice in 2000. Pendragon later focused on campaigning for the return of human remains removed from Stonehenge by archaeologists in 2008. He continued to call for free access to the site. Woof! He sounds like a, I mean, I'd vote for him.

That's hilarious. That's hilarious. I guess I'll just read this. Pendragon is best known for his legal battles with English heritage regarding the monument of Stonehenge, a site of great religious significance to Neo-Druids. Throughout the 1990s, he campaigned for the removal of the four-mile exclusion zone, which was established each year during the summer solstice. On 19th of October, 1998, with assistance from organizations such as Liberty, who acted as

his counsel, Pendragon, had his case heard by the European Court of Human Rights. He claimed that the exclusion zone around Stonehenge was restricting his freedom of thought, conscience, religion and freedom of expression. In contravention of Articles 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights, the court decided in favour of the UK government. However, the exclusion zone was lifted the following year, after an unrelenting case before the House of Lords ruled that the public have a right to assembly on a public highway. And there's more, there's like more, there's like three more paragraphs with this. He's been campaigned. He's been busy, King Arthur. He's an icon of the area.

Yeah, good time. Because, like, the solstice, like, for those who don't know, it's like a big deal around here. We mentioned Avery. Yeah, Avrey is, yeah, the summer solstice. All the hippies show up. I don't know if I meant, I think I might have mentioned it on Traha, the Jha. I went to Avebury during one of the solstices, and there was like this big gathering of people who were like, we pray to the gods of the north.

And then they all prayed. And then they were like, turn east. And they're like, we pray to the gods of the east. And they're like, do it. all this shit and they were like it's like crazy but people come from like all around the country from other countries

just for the solstice to come and like do their little hippie gathering thing yeah it's pretty fun to see it yeah it's it's it's cool for such like a a non-religion religion

to have this kind of thing because like to be a hippie I feel like you can't be too like heavy handed No, but like you'll never see more tie-dye than at these things. Oh, got you. I've never seen more tie-dye. You won't smell more weed in the air.

Yeah, it's pretty lull. Yeah, I love it, though. Yeah. That's a nice little bit of local. Do you feel spiritual around the stones? No, but I was talking to someone recently about this where like, I don't know, we've, granddad's like a Oxford scientist he's instilled this like

kind of militaristic atheism in our family I feel like but I've always felt this disconnect as far as like there's a space for the spirituality it doesn't manifest in like religion but like when I'm in like when I'm in pure nature and I'm around like trees and stuff I feel like I do feel some kind of spiritual link

to the environment but I don't know how to like express it beyond just like this abstract feeling yeah yeah yeah yeah I mean

I like it I feel like such a fucking asshole when it comes to spirituality because I don't I don't understand what it means you know to be like in touch with your soul and like

yeah For a lot of people, I think it is just like a feeling or something you intuit. Yeah, but like that feeling, I don't know if it's something, like if I'd have never heard the term or if spiritual people had never been exposed to spirituality and they were in this environment, would they feel that thing? Or is it something where we're, like, we think we're supposed to feel that? So like a nature, nature, like cultural? I think there's like definitely comfort and it's proven that our brains like trees and nature and like we love absorbing that stuff.

You get something from it. If it's just like an expression of that, then I kind of get it. But like the feeling itself I can't empathize with. Yeah, I have this really cringy memory of, um, it's like the end of a Simpsons episode. It's a really funny gag. where they have a Native American, like, see, like, a plastic bag on the ground, and then, like, a tear, like, goes down. I remember watching that as a kid and being, like, I'm with you, man.

Like, it really bugs me, like, when I see garbage and stuff. Remember that scene in Madman where, like, they have a picnic. And when they leave, they just, like, grab the sheet and just walk off with all the, like, paper, plate, or plastic plates, cutlery and whatnot. There's something wrong about that. It's something... It's not right. Yeah.

But, you know, it's a lot easier. So... Oh, certainly easier to ignore, yeah. Yeah. Feels less bad. Yeah. If you just put the blinders up. Join the conservatives, you know?

They don't have to worry about it. If there's one message to take away from this episode, it's that. Yeah. Yeah. You have no reason to... not destroy your environment. God put us here, man. And he said, go...

Which God? Go crazy. All of them. I don't care. The spirit. The God of the Druids. The God of the North, East, South and West. Yeah.

I'll take the God of the East. You can have West. Okay. Let's battle. Well, I'm going to team up with God of North, though. You can team up to go to South. I'll take the South. I feel like there's, like, from here, there's way more down than up.

Oh, yeah. Like, where we just get, like, icy tundra. Yeah. It's like ice versus fire type. Fire. What does he call fire? Flamer. Flamer.

Flamer and ice. How can you forget? Flamer. Flamer. Oh, man. We'll see you next time. Chao. Alright, all right, all right.

I feel like to do. Yeah. Have you seen those dents that streamers get in their heads? Oh, the, the headphone dent. Yeah, the headphone dent. I have seen that. Have you seen that mock-up of, like, what people would look like by, like, 2060 or whatever? It's like these goblin people with like dents in their heads and, like, like, notches in their fingers and stuff.

Well, everybody, this is the part of the show we head over to the JAR Media, Patreon, debautee here or above, read off those crazy names.
