Is it, is it that strict for A? It's not as strict, I don't think. But let's try and... Well, because A, I feel like, might more organically come up in conversation than P ever would. I guess, yeah.

If it gets too long, just remove one clip from the beginning and add another at the end. I guess you have no idea what that means. I know. Try and guess what that means. So, in the midpoint, you put the bit... When was the last time you saw the Wankers ad? When the T-Rex got added? Oh my God, bro.

Okay, no, this is... I'm fitting a kibosh on. A what? Look, open your fucking phone. Go on the latest fucking episode. Go on the time codes. And get to the mid-break. Make sure the speaker's on Macs.

My speakers are messed up because this phone is like 30 years old. That's fine. That's fine. Okay. Rankers on BS5. Out now. This is wild Um,

Downloading wankers on my Xbox Beh Okay, yeah, that's pretty good Um, because I was like, I had this idea in my head, right? That For each season, the ad is supposed to change.

Right? Yeah. But I feel like that's one of the best bits. is that it's like grown into this like organism so I kind of don't want to abandon it yeah no that's fair I mean you could like pocket it for the future but then what is what ad can even come close to that

nothing yeah go to the flutter store it's not the same should we do a letter letter letter shirt that's a bit earlier thing no it's a thing just false it it's fine

let him. I didn't, I didn't think he spoke. He says Yoshi. He goes, Yossi. No, I don't think he says that. Do you the alarm again? What the fuck? Um, well, Olin Mort is pissed at you.

Jim always brings up that he's using the original meaning of the word meme to sound smart. Like, we get it, you played Metal Gear Solid 2, bro. It's not Metal Gear Solid 2, it's fucking Metal Gear Solid 2, it's fucking Militens. It's not Metal Gear Solid Revengeantens. You fucking idiot. Um, so is the Wankers ad thing that's settled? Like, it's staying? What?

Wankers? Oh yeah, keep it. It's too good. Yeah. Yeah. What are you talking about? No, yeah, keep rankers. Wankers was never real.

Um, well, the gayest jar fan says, I looked up squirrel bakeoff. I was mentioning the famous squirrel moment. And got a bunch of redneck squirrel cooking competitions and one AI video of a squirrel baking. So thanks for that, Alex. Oh. Um, I guess they've got like American algorithm if they're American. Yeah, nice one American. So if you want to find the squirrel video I was talking about last episode.

Great British Bake-off. Great British Bake-off dash squirrels nuts. Yeah. And you'll find it. And you'll see what it says on the 10. It's something pretty impressive. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

Oh, my Lord. Lordy, Lorde, Lordy. I've got a few topics. Wait. What? Can you do your best impression of Dr. House saying, oh God. No, move on, move on. We got to do, oh, there's some big news.

Okay. But first, I want to mention this weird tweet. Yeah. About me that just appeared. Okay. It's got like 11,000 likes, right? And the tweet is, whenever I think of IHE, I think of when I watched one of his videos as a kid

and the whole time the camera was focused on his body as to hide his face and he just had a fucking huge boner the entire time. That did happen. And then there's this whole like conversation of like, did he actually? Wait, that's disgusting. Which video?

You can just say whatever the fuck you want. Yeah. Well, that's the beauty of discourse. Then it becomes this like hunt of like, where's the fucking cock? Yeah, yeah. Where's the cock? Where's his cock? Somebody scrape through his videos and find his balls.

Yeah. Whatever, man. I'd prefer it there. than like bots that want to like it's curbst on me yeah yeah yeah the bots are going to be door knocking soon let's be real where's iage he's cock we know you're hiding it here somewhere and in other news in other x news um i've just been keeping an eye on cool cat um yes derrick's twitter on 16th of september uh uh 3 a mm That must be for me.

Yeah, because it'd be crazy otherwise. He tweeted, hey, at Domino's, what kind if idiots are you hiring? We ordered online, waited 15 minutes, and they haven't started cooking it yet. Then I asked to add some sausages for the inconveniences. And the manager was rude. You better make this right,

or you were losing a long-time customer. Dominoes. Yeah, you're like added dominoes. That's crazy. Have you ever had dominoes in America? No. I hear... Horanous.

It's fucked up things. It's fucked. Have you? Yeah, it's terrible. What was different about it? It's like so wet. Really? Yeah.

How's it different to how it is here? So much greasier. Like oily. I think Americans just douse everything in corn oil. Pizza? Yeah. It was like wet. with oil. You know, like the cardboard

at the bottom. It's like see-through. That's so much oil. It's fucking foul. Did it taste good? No. It was so much worse. Then the story didn't end though, because Domino's actually replied to him. Oh shit. Saying we're sorry to hear about your

recent order. This is not the experience want for our customers. Please respond with reference, blah, blah, blah. After submitting your comments and contact info at link. signed Daigo, Dago. So then he quotes that saying, When Domino's responded because of their nasty service,

they called us a Daigo. Daigo is an offensive and derogatory ethnic slur used to insult people of Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese descent. It's like calling a black person the N-word. Domino's needs to be cancelled. Real. But then he got the, uh... You know that thing that appears on Twitter that, like, corrects you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of those appeared saying, the day go at the end of the Domino's reply is the customer service agent's standard sign-off, matching the format of other replies from the account such as those ending of Sarah or Samantha, and is not a slur.

At least he's fighting the good fight, though. I just love how he does all of this under, like, the fucking cool cat brand. Yeah. Pizza complaints. He's leveraging his social credit. Is that like a normal thing for like, Hey, you fucked up my order. Give me some sausage.

Yeah. Is that like an American thing? Yeah. They tip in sausage as well. Like a coin. Yeah. Like a Domino's cumpling sausage. Here's your tip.

Just a wet sausage. An oily fucking sausage. Yeah. Because that was really the bit that stood out to me, Outside of the obvious bits. Yeah. Yeah, the sausage. Sausage is compensation.

I asked that Edson's sausage for the inconvenience. Maybe he was trying to do like a porn hub thing. Oh, right. He like cut a hole in the pizza room. Yeah, yeah. Give me some of that classic Domino's sausage. That's fucked up for it. Have you ever watched one of those?

Pizza porn. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen the classic. I never have But then like He like He like fucks with the pizza store That's like just

E that's the yeast infection central Oh yeah yeah Jesus Christ Uh huh That's just nosed it Sean I get the free sausage Oh you bloody get Cancel the order just bring me the sausage

Cool cat wants Cool cat need sausage Is he sued you yet? He tried to hunt me. He tried to hunt down the free man. Yeah, he's trying to hunt down Nick. To be fair, you should get locked out for that. No, I should get fucking freedom.

That's true. You should be a free man. I earned my freedom with that. Every now and again, I get... comment that's like ribbing me for that yeah and they like don't understand that like the joy it brings me to even be reminded of it yeah yeah i've never seen you so joyous as when you first when you're first watching like the cut scenes from that i don't think i've ever seen you that happy before then or after it might actually be the the happiest i've ever been yeah That's my exact type of humour

Yeah, fuck me Um So obviously there's big Big fucking news Ah Oh Oh Oh

I was doing Destiny Because there was actually big Destiny news But I was meant to be doing Halo Oh Because they announced that they're bringing all the Volted content back to Destiny No fucking way Yeah

To Destiny 2? Yeah No fucking way So like all the fanbase is like, ha ha, they're like, fucking yes!

It's like, that thing I paid for I'm getting back. They're the best, the fucking best ever. Oh my God. They release this fucking grovelling video

of the two new like heads at Bungie like, we sorry. We're so goddamn sorry. We fucked up again. We did a whoopsie. Yeah.

Again. Yeah. Dude, if you're still playing Destiny, you actually need to look at you. yourself.

But I just, I made a video about it because the same pattern keeps happening where they, they'll reach a rock bottom. Yeah. Announce something. Yeah. And then the fan base like freaks out and they get so excited. Yep. And have this elephant memory thing.

No, no, they have great memories. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You chose like the one animal that can remember.

Maybe I was wrong. You go. Yeah The goal flip Every single thing It sounded like it was written by A.R. Or at least HR

Or P.R. And They're like We're sorry, mate. We promise we're not going to do it again. They're like, yeah, we promise. You're meant to do it behind your back? Yeah.

Yeah, but then all of the like destiny YouTubers are like, We did it We fucking Came in clutch Yeah, nice one Fucking most like It's like It's upsetting

It's like they're it's like an abusive relationship Yeah, yeah, it's proof of um Stockholm Yeah, straight up Stockholm syndrome And just like I How many times do you need to be taught the lesson that companies don't care about you

they release like cute videos with like a face of someone who might be a nice person but the corporate entity does not care about you. No they're using that emotion yeah you're being used for your money

yes they want your money and nothing else you fucking idiot and it's like the attitude of like yeah we're so bad guys meanwhile in the background fucking the company's been like gutted yeah yeah

50% like slight shit how can we release something without actually doing anything what about all the stuff we removed before just put it back in oh shit yeah that'll get some favour yeah the metaphor I used was a relationship one where I was like it's like if an X

of yours stole your favourite jacket then years later you bump into them and they're like it's your favorite jacket we're cool now right Yeah So like well no that was mine Yeah What the fuck is wrong with yeah yeah

Yeah you also sucked and fuck the whole town Like while we were together Yeah Yeah so um But if he gives the shit about that We have elephant memory There's already some good Options for titles

From this one But honestly whatever destiny There's an even bigger one halo You've seen this right I don't think so Well you actually don't know I don't think so Fucking sit down

I am You seriously don't know I don't know I don't know what you're going to say Halo Studios has been shut down But guess who has Halo now Who? Activision

They're making the next Halo What the fuck? Oh my God. Like the 100% real. Holy fuck. Isn't that how crazy? What world are we living? Yeah, I just look, the amount of times things have happened really, if I could tell my younger self.

Yeah. You're like, no way. Yeah, shut up. You fucking time travelling, liar. A little liar. Yeah. You time travel back, just a lie. What the fuck?

You don't know what's coming, boy. How do you feel about that? Why make another halo? Because they just want to inflict pain, I think. Yeah. They want to drag it through the muck. This makes me believe in like demon worship. Like devil ball worship.

Ball? Baal. Huh? You know ball? Like Molag Bal? Oh. The mace of Molag ball. Oh, right.

Yeah. Because it's like, how can we inflict suffering upon, upon, the most forgiving people on earth, Halo fans. Are they before or after Destiny fans? Oh shit, yeah. That's weirdly poetic. There's a few poetic things. The fact Activision is doing it at all.

Yeah, because they did Bungee as well. They did Destiny, sorry. They did Destiny. They made the Halo Killer game. Kill Zone. No, just joking. Cod, obviously That was like the war

Cod v Halo It won Now they're making Yeah, that's what I'm saying Cod won Now they're making Halo And the other poetic thing is that This is so fucking insane

3 for 3-3 Slash Halo Studios first and last game Was a Halo 1 remake Oh my God, yeah Which one's worse? Because like people were coping about that remake the new one Were they actually? Yes dude the Hila fan base were they were like I hadn't seen any gameplay and just on a whim like the other night I watched donkeys video on it yeah yeah and I was like what the fuck?

Why does the what? Uh and yeah it's like it's all fucked up it's fucked up it's fucked up I'm so glad I didn't buy it I yeah no universe in which I did. Yeah. They, they, like, shadow dropped it. They knew it was trash. Yeah, and it bombed.

Yeah, of course it did. And now they wasted their splash on PlayStation, like. Yeah, because I was looking through the store on PlayStation the other day. When you saw it there. Before I watched the donkey video, because I was like, oh, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, no one gives a fuck. Yeah, because it's fucking trash. Yeah, there's, like, some slop on the PlayStation store.

Yeah, it was all. that Halo fucking blends right in. Yeah. You know? It's like not even a blip on the radar. No. How embarrassing is that? And all it was.

It was like an awful remake where they just remixed a bunch of shit. It's like Reach AI and all these like just a remix of already existing shit. It's like, why do you fucking do this? You dumbasses. Yeah. And then like those new missions they made

and that video we made of watching the new cutscenes. It's like I'm convinced this AI shit. It has to be. What the fuck? Go home in one piece. What the fuck? That's such an uncomfortable amount of time. It must be some like internal thing they were fucking with to like figure out how to use it or incorporate.

It looks fucked. It looks fucking awful. Yeah. The timing is all like fucked up in that AI way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like. Shit. Yeah, that's.

They did say. as well. They said they were using AI before it released, yeah. But they said it was like only to make like reference stuff. They weren't actually using it in the final product but I

don't know if I believe that. Now that you mention it like it it's too fucking weird. It's like uncanny. The cleverness of the kicker. This is crazy. The cleverness.

Yeah, the The only thing is it kind of looks too bad to be AI. A lot of AI shit looks way better than that now. Too bad to be a half. Yeah. It's just like, I'm so jaded by that whole thing. And the other thing that the fan base is freaking out about now is like, don't get rid of the 343 law.

Don't. Why? It's like, who gives a fuck at this? point. Yeah. Or they released 28 books in the time frame that they've made all their games. Okay.

Oh, bro. Like, let go. It's trash. It's trash. And like, talking about, like, do you remember in Halo Infinite that, like, new, the new creature? Oh, yeah. Like, the people are like, no, we got to stick with that creature. Yeah.

The, Rlerlerler, Creed. Yeah. Yeah. Mr. Lauer. We need to commit to Mr. Leder. Why? No, straight up, like, Activision. I know you're listening.

The second you start developing this, your game starts from the pod opening. From what pod? At the end of 803. Oh, right. Fuck. Like, who gives a fuck? I mean...

Do over. Who cares? Why not? No, I mean, the thing is... is who gives a shit about, you can't give a shit about Halo. You know, I'm just like morbidly curious, like what does that it look like?

But it's, it's fool me once. Oh. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Yeah. Shame on me. For me Halo five times.

Like, like, like, yeah, they've ruined the brand. Yeah, it's worthless. It's worth nothing.

How many times have we been burned? Yeah. I'm done. I'm done They can't do shit, man Yeah, I don't I don't know what the like Play is, what it's gonna look like

Is it? But like, yeah, what are they gonna do? Like a sequel to Halo Infinite? Even if they do like a sequel to Halo 3 It's like, I don't care. Yeah. Like Halo 3 is the end.

That's fine. Yeah. You know, just remake Halo 1, 2 and 3 add infinitum. No, don't even do that. Leave it. Let it rest. Well, yeah, ideally, but Microsoft can't.

Like, Halo's been just having CPR committed upon it on its rotting course. Because I think what people were hoping was that id would have a chance. Well, they have been gutted and like. It's dead, right? No, it's still around. They just, they, they slashed a bunch of. heads there. Yeah, they've taken out. Yeah, they're being brutal at the moment.

Yeah. I don't know why they bought Activision. It's just so weird. Well, it is Bethesda, right? Yeah, but I mean, like, that's when it all came undone. Yeah. Um, was that ridiculous deal. Let's just buy every game developer and then kill them all. So it was just, I honestly, I felt nothing when I saw that news.

I was just Well yeah I was like Sure It's like Who fucking cares I was just like Go on then

Yeah Fuck it Let me see Nicky Minaj in Halo I don't care Yeah Whatever I mean that would improve it

Yeah Make Nicki Minaj fucking Cortana That'd be cool Make Megan Train A captain Key's daughter because I'm so out of tune with like what Activision games are even like at this point I know everyone hates Cod.

Sakaro was good. That was probably the last Activision game I played properly. But you can't really call it. It was just published by them. It wasn't like a in-house thing. They were just publishing four from. But everyone seems to hate Cobb more than ever, especially in the last few years. Yeah, but they're doing Monomor FFourke, so everyone's going to get their fucking butt holes out again.

I guess the difference is. Activision actually can make games that people buy and play. True. So maybe there will be like a Halo game every year now. Yeah, fingers crossed. And they'll be like, I don't even know what they fucking look like. I don't know what it could even be. Like it's so like fucked up.

It's been through the ringer. It's like, do you remember an alien resurrection where she stumbles across the lab and the caribble yeah yeah mutant version of her yeah and the one with like the mouth in her yeah that's what halo is at this point it needs to be fucking put down yeah it does it needs to be put out of its fucking misery

yeah that's exactly what the latest release was the halo combat evolved campaign evolved campaign evolve sorry but it's that soft bigotry of low expectations thing where like the shit the fan base would say about that game, the excuses they'd come up with every time. And then the goalpost moves. Now there are people that like,

oh, Halo 4 was fucking based. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, oh my God, dude. Yeah. It's Chad behavior. Now there are people that are like, oh, Halo Infinite was so fucking amazing. Yeah.

I mean... The fucking, that oneer, like, copying God of War. with these brutes Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, lae yeah, yeah, it was like the worst story of all time. It was fucking awful.

Yeah, it was just milk taste. Nothing happened. And then like this flying fucking fairy appeared. Yeah,

we'll be back later, probably maybe. Yeah, probably not. No, we need it. See,

that was the one I thought 3-4-3 were like oh you've actually like made a gameplay loop like this is actually a bit fun and then it's like what if we put it in an open world yeah

we fucking ruined it instantly yeah yeah and all of our missions were just like you know you can do it sort of your way everything is fucking doing that dude make a game let's put a grapple hook in so you don't have to do shit so you just fly around

around. Yeah. Let's make sure sprint is in there, but only increases your sprint speed by 5%. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah. I hate you. Have you seen?

Campaign Evolved has sprint. And it increases your speed by like 1%. Yeah. It just looks like. Have you seen? Oh, the funniest thing from that whole game is that you know the part where Invisible elites are introduced to you? They put markers above their heads.

Yeah. They're fucking invisible. Yeah. But they show you where they are with markers. Why? Because they just read the UI shits, you know? It's like, you need to know where they are type thing. Yeah, bro.

It's, uh... It's abysmal. And all the, like, new lines of, like, Quilana doing the same line, but now it, like, is awful. Yeah, yeah. You're just being a downer And why does Johnson say the Like See you in the sequel

See you in the sequel That's even funnier now But it's like But it's In the prequel mission In the remake of a game That already has a sequel What the fuck are you talking about?

Yeah weirdly cocky Yeah but it's like What do you mean? See you in Halo 2 Is that what the joke was? We'll see you in Halo 2 the game that exists already that I'm in. I don't know.

I don't know. Sound and local fucked up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not AI in that one at least. Yeah. Like the obituary for 3-4-3 and, um, like they don't deserve to be called Halo Studios. They're still 3-4-3, you know.

Yeah. It was like what W.H. Smith have done recently where they're called like, Mr. Ler-da-da-N-H. DJ. Fuck. Yeah. you're still the same shit yeah why you've done selling pens like why

what do you think that's gonna fix and now like a bunch of developers from 343 are like all over the internet like just spilling the beans about how awful it was to work there yeah yeah how much of a disaster it all was huh

I don't I don't even know if I want to say that Activision could do a better job I don't know how you could do a worse job, let me put it that way. Yeah, that's the thing. Like, the bar is so low. When it's the case of doing nothing is doing a better job, then it's like, well, who the, it doesn't matter who you give it to.

Is there anyone it could be given to where you'd be like, no? Okay. No, because again, like you were saying, what would it even be? Like, right now, what's the ideal Halo game to be released? None. Like, for me, As someone who loved Halo, you know, my ideal thing for Halo is to fuck off.

Yeah. Like, I don't want to see it. Uh-huh. It's not cool anymore. No. It's lame. Yeah. It's a lame duck for fucking millennials.

Yeah. That's what it is. It's got stank on it. Plans change. They always do. No, for me, it was like, it really died in my head with the first trailer for Halo Infinite it where it had that like brute and the like fucked up phantoms that look like

cardboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you mean the first, the gameplay reveal? The gameplay review. Yeah. It did look fucked. It was like, oh. Yeah, I was still in coat back then, I think. Yeah. Whereas like,

that could a, like a Halo ultimate, like a Smash Bros. Ultimate type thing, I think would have been like a their last like chance, you know? What do you mean? Like, play into the nostalgia, like, yeah, we've got like maps from like all the previous

games, but there's sandbox that's really solid and it feels right. There's no sprint. Yeah, I'm one of those. That's still like a fight. I don't know. It's a fool's errand. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I was more upset that they fired the.

narrative director of the coalition, like mere days before Giz War Ede comes out. That's really lame. They fired them? Yeah. They've sliced, they've gone through all of their studios, like moving them all around and like gutting them. Because it's obviously not been working. The Hellblade people, they've been shut down, double fine left. um

they started like a Patreon or something oh man it's uh it feels kind of like the end of like US game development it feels like it's just again it's like a repeat of the

Atari era but like yeah there are just other pockets where it's filling the gaps I guess um unless like Nintendo Nintendo seems to be the only ones that can release games that, like, seem to make their money back and more.

Like, they'll release a game and it sells, like, 50 million copies. Yeah, yeah. It was, like, made for, like, $5. No, but, like, FromSoft, Capcom. Like, Japanese development. They, they've figured it out. It's like, uh, Resident Evil, right, made two, made one, like, mediocre game and one shit game. and they were like, okay, we fucked it.

Let's take a step back. Strip everything down back to basics. Let's make this what it was always meant to be. Yeah. You know, and they did, they've fixed Resident Evil to the point where it's like every time they drop a game now, I'm buying it day one.

And I'm hyped every time because they don't disappoint now. Your seven was like a splash as well. Seven was big. When they figured that out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And there was like hype around it because they took a bit of a break. You know, they, they focused on, like, actually just making a good fucking game. Whereas,

like, the Microsoft Strat seems to be, right, let's just dump infinite amounts of money in, Halo infinite amounts of money in, and, um, just cross our fingers.

And then, like, the, the top brass in Microsoft will just, like, come in and rearrange everything every three months. Yeah.

But also the people who are at the top of the studio, also have to kind of, of hate what they're making. Like at a core, foundational level. Yeah, like, you have to have no love for what you're doing. In fact,

you have to hate it. You have to just wish you were doing something else. You have to try and turn it into something else entirely. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't understand that from, like, what other company has been given that many chances over that many failures?

I think the moment should have been, the Master's Jeep collection, like a hold up. These guys... Yeah. Then something is really wrong here. Yeah. We need to restructure this. The games are already made.

How do you fuck that out? They're done. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just... It's maybe the most pathetic. The most embarrassing way it could have all... It's like a fucking...

there is a poetry to it, a dramatic irony where it's all ended up, you know? Now Halo is being made by fucking Activition. Yeah. What the fuck? Okay. Yeah.

I kind of hope Microsoft just fucking stops. Xbox is done. No, Xbox is bad ass. They got fizzant. They say fizzint. What the fuck is fizzin? Oh, no, you're right.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Sony fucking suck as well. Yeah, kind of all the big dogs. Outside of like the one that never does anything, Steam. Like, they're just like, yeah, we got this store. Yeah, they're like, we're coming out with the steam machine and then AI just kills all hardware. Oops. Yeah, but Valve might have to start making hardware.

Otherwise, nobody's going to be able to buy shit for their PCs. Yeah. I find it fascinating from just like a... It's kind of sad in a way that the narratives attached to the story of what is going on at the business back end is way more interesting and like intriguing than any of the shit they release. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Like seeing people talk about Wolverine is more interesting than fucking playing it.

I'm not playing campaign evolve but I want to see people like talk about the studio structure and like them desperately trying to fix it and all this bullshit and the same with Bungy too where it's like all of the bullshit

going on in the studio is way more interesting than any fucking game they release you know? Yeah just a fucking mess uh putting the goddamn light anything else on, I'm so glad you didn't know that.

I thought for sure you would have seen something about that. No. That's hilarious. No, I've, I've checked out of Halo. Like, I, I don't care. But it was like, it wasn't just Halo, it was like, basically every single, like, obsidian is now under with Hester now. Um, the New Vegas guys. Yeah.

And they've been put on a Fallout game. Yeah. Like, forcibly, because they, they also release, like, two games. in the last year that they spent like six years developing and they were both massive flops. Well, yeah, they made the outer worlds too. And that fantasy game. Yeah, but it's like, obsidian isn't that obsidian, you know? Ah.

They didn't make, it's a different team that made New Vegas, you know? Just because the company has the same name doesn't mean it has the same DNA. That's what people fall for. Yeah. They're all like the ship of Theseus. They're all. just like yeah yeah yeah

swapped out and like uh huh and I I've got no like hype for their fallout game you know

if anything I'm probably dreading obsidian obsidian's fallout game because like all the gamey parts of obsidian games fucking suck

like the outer worlds was a slog to play did you play any of it I played it for three four hours yeah yeah it stunk yeah

you could didn't pay me to play that game. It's fucking boring. You know, and like, I'm done with games like that. Especially when it's like, oh, this game has like 800 hours of content. It's like, okay, fuck you then. I won't touch you with a barge pole. Yeah. It's too much.

Yeah, because Bethes themselves, like that whole Starfield gamble. It was like, what is it wrong with you? Yeah. It's like, I've got zero interest in... Why the fuck would I want to play Starfield? It's like bad gameplay, bad story guaranteed, with uninteresting worlds. No, but there's so many worlds. Yeah, because that's what matters.

As long as there's a lot. Uh-huh. You know? As long as I can just piss away my mind. It's kind of like a gaming gooner game. Yeah. Yeah. But not in the cool, like, Arkham way.

No, they're not. I mean, gooning in the little. Gooning in the literal sense. Yeah. Because everyone's just so fine. Yeah. No, this is like the act of gooning through the gameplay. Yeah, it's gaming as gooning.

Yeah. It's goon gaming. Goon gaming. Game gooning. Yeah, we just made this little game called Skyrim sold of 150 trillion million copies. Yeah. Let's just not make a sequel. Let's announce we're going to make.

one but not make it though yeah yeah let's make um shit star wars instead fuck me okay fuck we'll be back up to these messages shit rankers rancers on BS5 out now PlayStation this is wild I'm the beast There's on there

Diper's here diaper's there question is everywhere call me Maggie because I'm sucking on this bink I like when Maggie

breaks character I like when Maggie sucks on the bink and gives it to the snake I watch the snake bashing episode of the Simpsons and the snake goes at Maggie

and she takes out her bink and shoves it in the snake's bink mouth and then the snake starts sucking on the bink and then Maggie gets her own other dite bink out and starts sucking on the bing. I vaguely remember that in some kind of obscured way. Yeah.

Maggie's one of the goate characters. I watched the one where, do you remember Homer gets swept out into the ocean? And then Maggie swims out and saves him. Do you remember? You do remember because it's the one where he's got the balloon. And he inhales the balloon by accident. Do you remember?

Yeah. He gets like a balloon. perfect 300 bowling Homer how many nails like there are fragments yeah there are fragments but my honestly my favorite episode is when

Homer you know gets like a new job like constantly right mr plow no no that is a good one though but I'm talking about when he's put in charge of three for three industries yeah Bill Gates comes in it's like Homer we need you to fix halo Don't Even I can't do that

Um Welcome to the second half Where we go through some questions From the group chat On the Patreon And the question Thread on the Jha Media

Sub Reddit Subreddit Just a couple of Redders chilling being cool smelling bad and shit odds and playing

playing games knocking on people's doors um our first one is from Gucci Vecna on an ancient episode genuinely years ago you were asked whether you record an episode of the cast with a sick kid who used their make a wish to be on the jar cast

and Alex genuinely said no because it would be too cringe now in 2026 would you answer differently? No. You wouldn't go? No. No, it would be too cringe. Yeah.

No. I'm not about that fucking... What if they were like... Please, um, I need you to be the crazy frog. Just one last time. If I could be Therapy's gym, I'd do it. You gotta be airport gym?

No, airport gym's not going. Really? Airport gym don't fly like that. What about, um, Rankers reforged Jim Well, he'll do anything for a pay Rankers reforged

Nicky Minaj skin Now you're talking Rankers Campaign evolved Directed by Hammer Those campaign evolved Cutsenes are how Exactly how I picked

Rankers Yeah It is that kind of game Yeah J.K. Jarling says, I'm a traveling tea and biscuit salesman and the boys fill my van with delicious premium sounds every Monday.

Just want to say thank you for your ranking and venomizing, your pod beans and so on. I don't believe this person blocked them. I kind of included it because I want something that whimsical to be real. And sometimes I like, I'm manifesting it. Traveling tea and biscuit. Why don't you just start it then, dude?

Why didn't you start a business? Why don't you on-true? the noir? Well, because I'm trying to get a job at Halo Industries. I mean, Activision. To shame, my amigo. Two campaign avores reshaved. Halo 2 re-evolved.

Yeah, what would they've called it? Yeah. No, they've got to remake Halo 1 again now to fix it. Halo 2, Activized. Halo. a vision of vision evolved what is it I think it would actually be a fucking

ordering pizza clutch move at midnight move if they called the next Halo Halo of duty Halo of what Halo of duty or call of Halo

either work Honey Badger likes his pizza whenever he wanted Honey Badger and joy's Halo Kappa

Yeah Fuck me Um Great Muppet Caper Says on the day This episode goes up It will be

September 28th How do you know? Yeah You see in the future You're trying to stalk us your son? One week before the one year anniversary of P month For the episode next week

What can we expect And can we expect it to be As you say Perfectly done. We've already said he's not coming back. Yeah, he can't. Do you know, I'm going to... I thought there's something cool to do.

I'm going to make the thumbnail. You know, um, James Bond's silhouette. I have him there. Yeah, do that. Um, plane says um you could call it he's back and we can do that's a good idea actually

yeah let's do that we're just discussing futures over here you're not the only ones that can see the future cat we're making big moves we're playing chess you're playing Halo combat at your own.

You're playing chess, I'm playing Halo of Duty. Yeah, dusk planes. I think this person has been asking this question continuously like every day since the

Arkham debate. Oh, fuck. Which I, you would like the thumbnail. I put Harry Hill like when he goes, fight. Yeah, yeah. Cool. He says, um, or she.

Or they? Or they or alien or Halo or Gears of War. Or the cleverness of the goof. The cleverness of the campaign evolved. Yeah. Um, he says, Arkham Origins versus Arkham Knight, please. Oh.

there's no debate bro yeah they're both shit dude shut the fuck up before I launch you launch what launch into a free flow combo using mine free fly batterang explosion I'm

I've said it before and I'll say it again Archimorges is bad it's shit no I thought it was cool that you had an electric clubs that could kill anyone dude I don't give a shit about the electric gloves. I can't even get back to the point where you get the electric gloves. The game is so, is that bad.

What do you mean? Like, it's such a slog to fucking play. I can't get back to the point where you get those gloves. Doesn't Electro show up and it's like, Electro, I need your gloves? Like, there's the fake-up boss fight where you kick him in the head immediately. But you don't get the gloves until later after the Joker reveal and Joker just kills him. And he falls out the window and then you steal his gloves off his corpse. Like Batman would.

Huh. These gloves look handy. Yeah, like, you know what? Troy Baker didn't all right job as the Joker. You know what? Fucking Roger Clark did a good job as Batman. I like him as Batman. He's good.

Sonic Man. I'm fine with the story of the game. You know? I like the stuff. I like the stuff with, uh, I don't like young Oracle She's cringy

But I like her dad Played by Played by the guy from Skyrim That narrows it down Well I guess there are like Carlaya Really? No I don't think it's Carlisia guy

But it's one of those fucking guys from Skyline One of the three voice actors from Skyrim Um Max von Ced out Yeah But the game fucking sucks It's Orim or Origins

Origin Well, both Archim Knight's cool Arkham Knight sucks Dude I'm gonna fucking flip Hey I'm in a fucking tank All of a sudden But can slide left

Can slide right Dude okay you need to fucking watch videos then I watch videos I mean the video we filmed Last week Oh I watched it I edited it Dund dun dun dun

That's That video, yeah. Listen to that. What has that got to do with fucking Arkham Origins? Orange's. No, it's got everything to do with Arkham Knight. Arkham Oranges. I went on a whole, like, diatribe about, like, the...

Anyway. No, we're not doing that one. No, because Arkham Origins fucking sucks. I'm sorry. And it should be the best one. That's the annoying thing. Why should it be the best one? Because it's, like, the coolest part of Batman's career.

when he has the electric gloves. Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Next question. Isap Doodle has one for us. Aesap Doodle has five for us. Bear Bear. Do you guys remember the lost Jarkast episode

where James' microphone was not working for the whole duration? I think it was long, long ago now, but recently a thought came to me about a potential way to fix that episode since many people have wanted it to be released. It might now be possible to use AI voice isolation and demixing tools to extract the muffled bleeding audio and boost it into a clear, legible audio track. I'm not knowledgeable on audio stuff,

but I did a quick Google search, and it seems like it could work for your situation. I want us to leave this here so that you guys could maybe try it out if you want to. I know the jarlings want to hear it badly too, since you boys mentioned there was a really funny bit about James not knowing chickens were birds or something. Yeah, I remember that bit. Really?

Yeah, I actually do remember that. because it was like what you know it was like when you stumble across something like his he wouldn't like dry himself out through his but you just have to inquire you know yeah um I'm obsessed with that um

I do Jarlings um hate when I use AI even if I do it by accident like a few weeks ago like with Lloyd Yeah, that was an accident Yeah I did almost slap you around the back of the head for that

One of the thumbnails A couple weeks ago when it was called like Venomized Day or something For the thumbnail I needed a picture of venom Yep And I just googled Venom Cool

When I'm looking for cringy shit I just search like blank Funny or Blank Cool Right, yeah And then you find good shit I found like this picture of Venom I'm doing his smile and whatever and I was like that's the perfect shape to put next to A

who was like in a swimming pool Yeah I was like nice Uh huh perfectly done It turned out it was I don't think about it from then Um

post video and then on Reddit people like There's fucking AI in the fucking thumbnail Do you not have a good AI I used to Now I just like Everything you Google is just fucking AI Okay And also it's Venom

Yeah I mean he's like AI generated anyway Like that whole character Um So I don't know I don't think I can do that Can I?

No you can't Yeah And you morally shouldn't Why AI Why? Why? Bad.

AI cool future. Okay. Oh my God. I think people think that I'm like paying for all of these AI programs. You showed me earlier. You showed me all your time. No, that was, I was tricking you, Batman style to lay a trap for you, Joker. You had planning time.

Yes. Yes. Prep time. Prep time. I'm sorry. I designed Halo campaign evolved. All by myself. You are Halo Studios.

This whole time. That's my secret. Look, I put my hands up. I used it for the, the cringy voices of Lloyd. Okay. What? No, you didn't. Look away, Lloyd.

Look away. Seth Rogan fucking used AI for that. I forgot what point I was even making. Yeah. I've been learning ballet. Do a pirouette. No, I've had a couple beers. Do a pirou campaign evolved.

Do a poo. Well, speaking of poo, pee-pee-po-po-po guy says, To-Cua month. Think about it. To-Cua! Bionicle Movie Month. Yeah. There's enough of them.

One a week. Three a week. Takua. Which is the best bionical movie? Oh, the first one by far. By far? By miles. Who knew that glass is made from sand and fire?

That was an awesome moment for me. I was like, I didn't know that. Learning. Yeah, I was taught by the bionical movie. I like to know it all like American. Yeah. secure and they well had these like

abs and shit yeah they were sexy they had like flesh relash yeah they had flash yeah they were kind of fucking sex galley ooh blood blood

I meant like bloody Tahu's mask From blood in the law Fuck, really Yeah Who's the brown one The rock one? Pahatu

My name's Pohadu I'm the rock one What's the green one What's the green one? Are you making these up? Lora I'm alright You fucking just bullshit in about

No you wrote that whole script You know this Yeah I read the script Yeah Yeah Any more You want to know

No I'm good My favorite game Is Coley My favorite game is Bionicle On PS1 My favorite game Wankers Reforge Whamker's

Campaign evolved Tell me something What is a campaign? Um, like a mission, a, uh, an objective. Objective complete. I disagree. I disagree. I reckon it's a series of objectives.

What's the defined campaign? Um, it just says a series of levels designed by three for three. Ha! The series, a planned series of actions, operations or activities designed to achieve. A specific goal, commercial, political or military goal. Shut the fuck up, I won. Campagna. Campagna, getting you.

Well, okay, sure. Yeah, well, Brick Yard says, do you guys have any opinions on mediocre products that normally sold dirt cheap? Suddenly getting their prices jacked up just because something new in that franchise released. Because recently, the tie-in game for the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern movie

is starting to hit the triple digits on eBay. presumably because of the lantern's show generating hype around the character. For reference, I got my copy a couple years ago when people were selling it for ten bucks. That's weird. That's crazy, but... I've got my fingers crossed. I'm fucking waiting for Concord to go crazy. The Concord movie to come out.

Yeah, because I've got so many copies. You got like six of those. Yeah, I feel like... companies are only just tapping into now because like movie tying games were a big thing when we were young yeah they were always shit so apart from the Wally game goaded video game

we didn't even have that it's one of the best games ever made we didn't even have that look it up we had the final look at the Metz Critics score of the Do you remember the Monsters Inc game where it was like these weird levels and you went around scaring like robots that was weird yeah it was quite liminal it was like quite frivolous frightening. Yeah, I'd fucking forgotten about that. Oh, I'm having like flashbacks.

Michael Zelski, you're stuck here, man. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Um, the ET game. No, but that and the Finding Nemo game was so fucking scary. Holy shit, yeah, and impossible. It was like weirdly hard. The Bruce mission Yeah, impossible

This is like horror Yeah, he's an actual shark And I'm a fucking little fish This is so unfair Unbalanced Oh, who even designed this art Did the 343 make that game as well? Yeah

We learn the ropes That's where they cut their team Yeah And the Mike Rosalski game Um But yeah I feel like they're just Realizing now With shit like

um like spider man you know they like add the spider man skin into the game like and the fallout fallout show suddenly all these people are playing fallout the witcher

they're playing like fallout fucking 76 when they add like the yeah the cowboy guy yeah yeah but like you don't even need tie and shit like the season one of the witcher show came out right

loads of people start playing the witch three again I put that coin to the witcher I give my coins to the witcher Jack Black sings He's Dandelion Yeah I give my coins to the witcher What's like one of Geryl's like famous lines

Hmm Harry Now do it as Jack Black has Geroot Yeah Do you want to hear my Jack Black impression? I would watch that one Yeah I do want to hear it, yes Killing monsters I saw a funny

like tweet or something that said like Is Jack Black the first human To get Flanderized? Yeah, what the fuck he is? Is he the first? I'm sure it's happened before But he's maybe the biggest one

What about Hercules? What do you mean? Heracles Yeah, Heracles Sorry When he's like La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la Uh

Yeah but what I'm saying is What are you saying? Make your fucking point already for God's sake What I'm saying is we've only just tapped the beginning of the potential Of concord Of concord Is that why you got your PSY pro? Yeah I'm gonna fucking finally hop into concord

Yeah, I'm going to fucking finally hop into concord Yeah, I was hype, dude. No, I bought the PS5 Pro only to play the Wolverine game. Have you looked through the character designs, like, of Concord? No. Have you ever, like, taken a minute to look at what you look like? I don't even know what that game looks like. It genuinely has some of the worst character design.

Was it like Overwatch? Yeah, it was like a hero shooter. So you need... The only way for that to be successful is that you want to fuck every single one of them. They need to be like Marvel rivals where it's just born. Yeah. You know what I mean? I was about to bring up Marvel rivals.

Like, what is the consensus on it? Because you've been wanking to it. I wish I could do that, um, Robert Downey Jr. like, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Um, is that, is that game good? I think people just like wanking to it. And that constitutes a good game. It's like Fortnite.

Yeah. As long as you got a chan-le skin to wank to. Chennell he's still in Fortnite. I think it's like you needed to get her at the time. Now, like, people chase you around the map ranking. Yeah. Yeah. That's so frustrating.

Yeah, otherwise I'd hop in, you know? Yeah, yeah. I was looking at Fortnite, like... Should I download you? And I was like, no. So you could download the POMNI skin. What's POMNI? The amazing digital circus, my friend.

You've not heard of this world of whimsy and excitement? Shut the fuck. Shut up. Do you actually not know that? You don't know what the amazing digital circus is. What are you? Pussy. Fuck you.

Yeah, movie talent games are going to be a thing again for sure. Long term, I guarantee it. There's so much money to be made, though. Like what? The skyscrapers. Not necessarily like... Ah, well, here's a Spider-Man game with the same story as the Spider-Man movie. But more just like they're going to be tag teaming.

Do you know what I mean? Like what Arkham Asylum was? Kind of, yeah. Right. Now you put it like that, I don't agree. It's two versions of IP, you see? Synergy. Intellectual property?

Intellectual power. So when the Roblox movie comes out, then... Roblox 2 will drop. The, um... What's that game that people like playing on their phones? Minecraft. No, the other one. Fortnite.

Where you're like running. Minecraft. No, you're like running in a line. Fortnite. No, you're like running in a line and jumping. Subway. Drum stranger. Oh, Mario.

No. Subway surfers. Yeah. When we get the Jetpack Joyride movie. and there's a QR code in the bottom right of the screen The whole time, yeah Yeah, so you can like Well, if you're watching the movie And download the fucking QR code

You get points in the game Yes, you get an extra jump joy When are we gonna get the Jetback Joyride Amazon 10 episodes show? Yeah, that's what I need in my life Ah, the Elder Scrolls TV show Is coming out just before the release of the new Elder Scrolls I can't wait

You know People play that fucking People fucking play the fucking Deadpool game Like it's good Wait The Starfield show's coming out soon Yeah Wait, and Starfield 2 is just releasing a month after?

Are you joking? I can't even take this much Starfield. Oh, Bethesda, you're just spoiling us, isn't it? Only joking, I can never have too much Starfield. Fuck me, bro. So this guy's pissed at you, outfishing seven. Fuck you, outfishing seven, you fuck. You should probably hear him.

out first. Okay. Hear me out. On Jim not hosting. I'm also meant why did Jim take a step back from Jarre? He used to be directly involved, but he, since 2024, has used Alex as a filter, so his contact with JAR is through an Alex-shaped prism. Also, Jim absolutely hosted episodes of JAR, most of which was directing the conversation. There are several episodes where Alex isn't there, and Jim hosted and picked questions himself. There was all also a time where Jim edited the podcast. Also YouTube shorts is social media. And then a mister replied to that saying, nowadays he reminds me of an animatronic,

kind of like Chika. Just laughing. Chica, what the fuck? I'm at least Bonnie. Just laughing whenever Alex brings up venomized Theodore. Sorry, not Bonnie Foxy. 50th time. And then I like to dangle ended this with,

Loll, I had a low stakes version of this happen. in this week's very episode. I made an Arkham poll that Alex pinned, but he did not tell Jim about it in the Patreon video. Probably because Arkham City won the poll. That would have Jim flying high. I can get Jim not wanting to constantly be on the subreddit, but he did, for sure, used to be significantly more involved.

It makes me think something happened. Hence why Alex hasn't asked the question, despite it being in the comments for like three months. It's been in the comments for three months. I've never used the Jam Media Reddit. Do you even have, like, Reddit? I used to use, like, Twitter and Instagram, but, like, I dropped those years ago when I realized they're fucking evil. Alex does admit or straight up mischaracterizes stuff, the gym now, which I find a bit odd.

Um, yeah. I used to rarely, like, glance at the Jam Media subreddit. But for me, it's always been a thing of, like, well, if I, like, stay up to date on it all and I'm reading it. everything, then nothing's like off the dome for me, you know? Yeah. And I'll be like, even if I don't want to be, I'll be reading it and then like thinking about my responses. But this is a good example of like, things that had no intent behind them being interpreted

as if there's an intent. Yeah. For like that, I'm pretty sure we were sat having dinner last week and I'm pretty sure I showed you the poll on the subreddit to do with like. Oh, I think you did. Yeah. And we had a conversation there. but it wasn't recorded and put any shit.

So that means I was maliciously hiding it. Yeah. I couldn't possibly have you know that there's a poll on the subreddit. Yeah. It's like, let's relax. If I really want to, I can obviously go and look myself. There's nothing like stopping me. But, yeah, I don't know.

Yeah, is there a problem? What's the issue? There's various issues. Well, they clearly think there's an issue That it's going through an Alex-shaped prism Which, um, they hate me They want me to be venomized You really are, you fuck

No, I'm at least bare minimum riotized Yeah I guess I'm the venomized one here No, you're Spider-Manized Okay, I'll take that In fact, that's probably the best thing anyone's ever said. About me.

You got anything else to say about that? No, I don't know what else to say. Like, when you went abroad, I hosted, like, like, two. Yeah. Uh, we did the muckbang. Uh, maybe, maybe I was more of it,

but like, when, when it comes to just you and me, I feel like it does make more sense for you to, like, host, you know? You know this realm, you know? You drag me from IRL every week into the online realm, and I'm like, well, normally I'm only in YouTube short. What's this long form you speak of? Yeah, I guess something this long form, your puny mind can't quite comprehend. Yeah. So you have to be kind of trapped and forced to engage with words.

I'm sort of like a doll chasing cars. I wouldn't really know what I'd do if I really got to one. Yeah. Also, what about the last thing? I also YouTube shorts is social media. Well, yeah, of course it is. But like, there's a filter to YouTube shorts. And you cannot tell me what you see on Twitter, X,

And what you see on Instagram is anything like what you see on YouTube shorts. They're both. They are different. They're way more extreme. My YouTube shorts are like innocent. You know, where like Instagram and Twitter, it's like people being killed. It's like. Yeah.

It's foul shit. Yeah. I don't want, like, I. But I don't use, I like don't really post on Twitter either. No. I don't want to be reading anything on Twitter. I don't want to be... I'm only saying that to say for them saying about...

Your behaviour's changed. Why are you not doing the exact same thing you've always done? Your behaviour or mine? Both. Oh. How's your behaviour changed? Because like I used to regularly post on Twitter. I used to...

Post on the jar Twitter. I used to... Mm. Do all of this. Yeah. I mean, Twitter used to be like quite a fun space, I thought. Yeah, it was funny for a time. Yeah.

that was just kind of scary yeah I don't know what like other than YouTube I don't know where else apart from maybe on Reddit if people really wanted me to become a Reddeter

I guess I could jump in every now and again and like say some bullshit but like what's the point I do it here you know that's where it's fun I guess their issue is they think that I'm like warping the truth to suit to my agenda.

No, my favorite thing is reading the YouTube comments on JAR and that's pretty much it. Like every now and again, I'll get a comment that you then bring up in housekeeping. You will get a comment. I will read the comment

before you bring it up in housekeeping. Oh, right, yeah. Right? Right. But that's quite a rare event and that's only when I remember what day of the week it is. Yeah, okay

Yeah, fuck, sure I don't know Time fucks Time we've all bloody got it Not if you've been Venomized enough Letter, letter, letter Venom sort of dilates your time experience Um

Dan dango Seeing as we're If we just want to be like nasty and call me a villain That's fine. I exist to be the villain. Batman. You're like a dog chasing cars or something. Well, Dan Dango says, What is your personal best and worst

Eres of JAR post-COVID? Which are most nostalgic for? There are obvious answers pre-COVID, so let's skip that. Me personally, I think the first half of 2021 into 2022 is very good. There are a bunch of extra videos, and I think there's a post-COVID fervor. I think 2023 into 2024 is pretty weak and hasn't aged well.

There's lots of generative AI talk and exploration, which is annoying now. There's a lot of repeating topics like dopamine talk, which bleeds together. That being said, the snuggle episode is in there, so it can't really be that bad. Oh, that was the year of, like, porn addiction was the topic every single week for, like, a year. I mean, it was post-COVID. Right, yeah. Yeah, I guess I never thought about that. And that was like when the AI shit was like being forced into everything and it was like really scary.

Dude, I... As in like everything that generated was all fucked up looking, you know? Yeah. It's like settled into the same like look. Yeah. And sound. The way every AI speaks has that weird uncanny. Cadence.

And yeah. Um... I can't say though truly. Like, I hear the numbers like 2021 to 2020, 2022 to 20. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know what any of that means. Yeah, I can't really distinguish that. I don't. I do think whenever Baby Rick and P month, whenever that kind of happened. I'll tell you what I am nostalgic for. Was it? A month. Now you say that, actually. That's a good point. Yeah. Should we bring it back? No.

Double A month. Hey, mom. Yeah. We can do ass, ma'am. A.A. month. Yeah. Okay, yeah, I did promise earlier that I'd get to this.

Corrin 856 says, my goat is being slandered, so I have to step in. While I do agree that Venom adaptations are quite bad, it's not fair to trash on the character because of it. Venom is literally one of my favorite characters of all time, based on writing. So I know what I'm talking about. The reason Venom adaptations are so shy is because Venom's whole character arc is so long, it can't only be, sorry, it can only really be adapted properly in a TV show. And as a result, the movies and games, he's in literally just make up whatever they want about the character,

and they're always awful. For example, the whole Venom taking over the world thing in Spider-Man 2 is the exact opposite of the character in the comics, as Venom is the main protector against the symbionionionion. Also, Venom is not even the character's real name. The merged identity of Eddie Brock and the symbiote is what is Venom, which is why removing Eddie Brock from the recent adaptations is so bizarre, since the character is only named that because of Eddie. It's quite literally as if someone calls Avatar the last Airbender awful because they've only

seen the M-night movie. Also, Alex needs to stop calling comic books Slop. It is where the objective best writing is in all superhero media. You're not making the best case with the way you've, like, is, and the only reason people discount it is that people don't like reading. Did I say comic books a slop? I've read like a lot of comic books. It's the exact same. It's the exact same reason live action remakes exist because the source material is deemed to be too childish and silly.

Also, sorry to be a comic, but no, but Jim needs to stop referencing the Craven Last Stand panel as the bit where symbiote Spider-Man comes out of the grave because that's literally just the cloth black suit. crying emoji um I feel like I'm how does he come out of the grave then I thought that was that whole thing I don't fucking know why does he have a cloth

I haven't read that one as well um I've read a lot of Batman comics um a bunch of like graphic novels here and there yeah I love comics um we've been glazing absolute Batman recently um I've read like

all of Invincible 100 issues of Walking Dead I don't think they're slop I think they're a cool medium For someone with a visual Imagination like me It like tickles a bunch of Senses at the same time

I was more just like making fun of like When they venomize planets And give it like a fucking mouth I also think venom being a like a hero is lame Yeah that's boring to me It's not selling me like hearing that that is like What his goal is Because there was another one about this

that I think kind of explains it a little bit better from like a character standpoint from Attila the Nunn. The issue with Venom when he gets adapted is that no one really understands what's cool about the character is similar to Superman before the James Bond gun movie. Venom is the antithesis to With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility in that he's With Great Power comes no responsibility. And he attempt to do anything more than that in the comics, movies, games, results in a worse version of the character. Eddie Brock is a dumb, impulsive meathead who gets a suit that lets him do whatever the fuck he wants and it's fun to watch him do it because of how reserved and heroic Spider-Man is. Venom works on his own too.

That's why his comic is so popular because the design is cool and he's a fully different take on the Spider-Man story. Now that makes sense to me. Yeah. That's like that conceit of a character is like, okay, I want to see that coming up against Spider-Man. Yeah, that's cool. Got no problem with that. I guess it's just never been done on the big screen. I'm sure there's like comic runs.

Spider-Man 3. Oh brother This guy stinks Um Okay let's do Let's do one more here Why in this guy? Let's do nine more

Okay One and two And uh Jack black is my favorite Um I miss Chad bike Oh we gotta do Wait where is it

This black Jack Um Ah yeah Yeah this is the one Let's end on this one then from King Corvid Bear Bear My Dear Yogs Last, sorry, long time Ming, First Time Ding over here

For a bit of context I've been listening slash watching the cast From the literal day One, episode one came out And now I'm 23 For actual years I've thought about leaving questions

Yet never did Simply because of how much I fucking hate logging into Reddit Apparently I even deleted my account At some point too Nice. I can contain myself no longer, however. I can't, I've lost the ability to read now.

I was doing well up to this point. Yeah, you were doing fine, it's all right, dude. Because something has been eating away at my very soul. I fucking gaslit myself into thinking I came up with a joke that I must have heard from Jarre four years ago. Oh, fuck. My friends and I have this pastime of coming up with stupid glops chito style characters. Ooh. Like Mr. Rol-a-Ladder.

Hmm. Wait. Especially when making player characters in video games. he did write that just like Mr. Letter, letter, letter. What? Am I stealing from them or are they stealing from me?

What the fuck? This full circle moment is blowing my mind. I just completely threw that off. At the start of the last year, I was streaming this RPG called Underrail for my friend, because he asked my play. And really struggling, and really struggled coming up with a name

for my gunslinger type guy. Oh, cool. Suddenly a light bulb lit up in my head, as I thought of the absolutely genius name, Glunthus Rien. We both laughed out loud for several minutes as I typed the name in and immediately came up with his new iconic catchphrase for whatever he entered a room and started shooting people with the gun. Quote, it's time to clean this reen. I only realised recently, while re-listing to older episodes of the cast, that I stole this from classic JARCast episodes. Sorry. 281,

Obi-1, Rene Obie. In which the special guest, Rien, asks at minute 528, you ready to clean this Rine? This joke has stuck around with my friends for a long-ass time. And I even explain the law and used the iconic catchphrase of this epic character on my fucking Twitch livestream, where it got a ton of laughs. Now I feel like a fraud. I've lied to my loved ones, my fans, and my self.

I'm ready to face my final judgment and I've accepted that I may be banished to the Goatsy dimension along with Soren Guy in final afternoon If you so choose thoughts This is like What was that comedian that was in everything? Dane Cook Yeah Dane Dahan When Dane Dahan stole Dane Cook's stand-up When Joe Rogan called him out for it as well at the comedy club No, that was Garcia

Dane Garcia When Dane Cook like Oh who gives a fuck I actually encourage people Like Please just say it's yours I don't care Yeah who gives the shit

Unless Okay caveat being If you like Used it in a way Where you're making like loads of money Then you have to share A bit Because then otherwise

Look we're not not greedy. Then law comes in. Right? Like, if I go and see the Rick and Morty movie and they're like, hey, it's reen, fuck, look, it's time to clean this reen. And I'm gonna be like... Yeah, Rick and Morty were ripping you off back in the day.

I remember having like a... That fucking sexual assaater guy was listening to God. Royland. Yeah. He did follow H.E. There you go. There you go. He was listening to Joe and just like writing it all down.

I've just taken all your shit Like fuck When I watched Rick and Morty I was like fuck Like now Season one when it was funny Then he ran out of Jara episodes And he was like fuck

We need to start like doing our own shit And then it became shit And I'm funny And now it's loop back to being funny Yeah Yeah So I don't know Is it?

Yeah it's bro Rick and Morty I'm on season 18 It's fucking Is it goated? Is it really goate? Is it really goate? Don't mess with me. Rick and Morty used to be my everything.

It was badass. Oh, fuck. Time to jump back in, lads. When evil Morty goes Yeah, I'm evil Morty, mate. Oh, fucking evil lad, son. Yeah, so just relax, it's fine.

You can have Rien. That's an old one. Yeah, have Rine. We don't even fucking one. As long as you don't have a current one, it's fine, you know? like you can't have Mr. Lowe Ler Lairn't Not for a few years

Give it a few bits And if you start to profit off of Mr. Latter, Latter, latter, letter, then just send us like a quarter Okay, we're not greedy It has to be Mr Latter Latter Listert I thought this was the onboarding episode No, we didn't onboard at all We didn't even like bring that up once You said this was the episode for onboarding

No, I said like that would be a good idea for an episode. Oh, okay. Block that. No, I'll leave that in. No, don't because then everyone's going to be like, oh, when's the onboarding episode then? Let's just never do it. No, I thought that's what we were doing this whole time. I thought that's why we were doing Mr. Letter.

No, I can explain where Mr. Letter came. Sometimes... He came from the beginning. Sometimes a, like... Sometimes I just wake up. up and I'm like, that's the one now. What, Mr. Letter?

The first thought I had when I woke up this morning was like... Mr. Rallera? Yeah. Okay. You've been doing Mr. Rallera well, you've been doing Rolera for

for fucking years. What do you mean? You didn't come up with that today. What do you mean? You've been saying Rolera for fucking... When have I... hundreds of years

when why Mr. Latter No not Mr. Latter Rallar Latter No there's definitely episodes where you've been saying that There isn't

There is This is what they're talking about He's creating his own prison Of reality He's entrapping him And in some sort of dichotomy I think Mr Latter Latter is kind of cool

Mr Latter Latter is cool Well, and he's like the poncho and the... No, not the poncho. What's wrong of ponchos? Nothing's wrong with ponchos, but Mr. Letter does not wear a poncho. He wears...

He's like really lanky and has glasses that reflect, and he wears a suit. He's sort of slend man-esque, but he's a bit more peaceful. Do you ever start a sentence and regret it immediately? Never. Before you've even fin- Oh. Why does it? that happened? That happened last time as well. I hate that. 9.30 on the dot.

Yeah, it is. Why does that happen? It's like the emergency light. You gotta get out of it. It's like the stoplight. Yeah. It's like, go. Get out. Cut it out. Yeah. Mr. Letters done. Lair, lair. Oh my God And then it's gonna turn out that like I did that like seven years ago Oh, that man No, you have been doing really long

You're just gaslighting me I'm not doing anything You're fucking gaslighting me No I've had many Prisms Well no if you said something And I was like

What do you mean by that You'll just go like You've been doing that for fucking ages Yeah that's been established But it's not been it's been to ethereal. Now it has form. Right.

It's become a man. That's always how it works. Yeah. Like, that's always how it works. You like, you play with it, you play with it, you're playing with the plaster suit

and you're like, where's Wallace gonna come out of this? No, it's the clay on the, the pot throw. And then suddenly becomes a slender kind of peaceful slender man. A peaceful slander man's sight.

So what? There it is, Mr. Latter. That's him Mr. Latter's here. Mr. Latter's finally here. Oh, fuck. Oh, God. So, um...

Oh, fuck. I really... This is, this is maybe one of the best immediate reactions I've had to one of my new characters. Really? Yeah. I thought the reaction to, um... No, I'm not going to say that. That's fine. Okay. Right. You're done? Okay.

Well, um, leave a like for Mr. Latter.
