Good afternoon, morning, evening or night.
Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to episode 242 of the Jail Media POSD Act.
I'm your host, Alex, joined as always by my bro James.
Good morning, good afternoon.
I'm James.
I'm the bringer of chaos to the cast, because I can tell already,
this cast needs more chaos energy.
And I'm going to bring it.
God, I don't think if James has ever had such a speech in an intro before, I like it.
But Jim's here as well.
Um, good evening, good night.
Uh, follow your dreams.
Don't let your memes be dreams.
Don't listen to what James says, basically.
Mm-hmm.
Well, we're all back.
We are back, baby.
We are back.
Yeah, I never loved.
You know, we had to leave.
Because.
Because dumb, dumb, over here.
got dumb dumb got covey
oh dumb dumb got covey
dumb dumb got COVID when he
had one injection
and had it before
yeah what
what the people don't know
is that you're very much anti-mask
you're fine with the max
no
I'm finally spreading any rumours about me
just not
not what these politicised ones
Can I present a rumour then
hmm
Alex is actually piss a dick
That sounded like you said
No, I'm not going, not today, man
It's not one of those days where I can whip out the old PD
It's too late for that
And before we get too deep into the episode
Let's shout out the patrons over at Patreon
They made the audio version possible
And get their names read out in the first week of each month
And early videos as well when I don't have COVID
Yeah, we had videos planned
But we had to push everything back
To allow Alex to get better
And get healthy
Would you guys say I'm healthy now
Am I looking fresh
I'm gonna choose to not answer that question
Or am I looking like a mesh
A mesh
You look like
You know those mesh sort of gauze things
At school you had above the bunsen burner
And it was all charred
and Chris Byrne, a nice little learner.
Yeah.
Guys, it's feeling dirty around here.
Yeah.
We've got to clean up your swampy mess from last episode.
Your swampy mess, Alex.
My juices I've left everywhere.
Yeah, let's clean it up.
Let's do some keeping of the house.
As it were.
Some dingle keeping.
Yeah, let's address some of this stuff from the last episode where only I was here.
It was actually really nice comments, nice feedback
because it's not going to lie,
it's something I've wanted to do for a while.
Just out of pure intrigue, really, just how it would go.
We've only one-man cast.
The only other combo we haven't done is just the me and Jamie,
which was the plan.
Which I'm surprised by.
Yeah, that's what we were going to do originally, but it makes sense.
Yeah.
Okay, comparisons.
6070 said
Oh, this is a nice one
I think Alex did a great job during the GARCast
by himself
Thanks
Do you guys have anything to add to that one?
Did you find it challenging?
Did you find it hard?
Did you find it difficult?
Yeah, it's more like
doing an IHG video where you just feel
totally insane and you're just like
Talking into a mic by yourself
See, there's different ways to approach
that type of situation because you could just try and be
really on topic and focused.
But then there's
the only other option is when you're doing
something like that is to go the Alex Jones route.
And 100% I would just go the Alex Jones
route and just go fucking off the way.
It's the only way to make it work.
Yeah, I'd say it was fairly topic-based.
Talks a little bit about Halo Infinite, which you probably
will in a bit here.
But yeah, these ones you can add a bit more
to actually, like this one from
Samana Boney, see if you remember this.
Hey Mingers, just wanted to update you on the question about my driving test a couple weeks ago.
I found your answers helpful and managed to pass yesterday with four minors.
Needless to say, I'm relieved it's over and happy to be free.
For context, I built my own test as my instructor wasn't particularly supportive in that regard.
Cheers, boys, and game on.
Congrats.
I'll take the credit for that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Now it's like free.
You've got freedom.
proper fucking freedom to just go
anywhere and do anything.
Yeah, freedom under the claws that you owe us.
Mm-hmm.
You need to bring us McDonald's
to this set.
Yeah, the P.O. Box is
a...
Shrump dressing, that one for us.
Sorry, dosing.
Have you guys seen the guerrillas G-foot line
of clothing and their ridiculous prices?
Just kind of ironic to me for a band
who constantly criticizes
and mocks consumerism, thoughts?
Well, it's not obviously
did you see this
it's like all over their Instagram
well they were teasing it the entire
guerrillas concert the whole one-up
was just repeating the loops of the footage for it
but it's like I you see this stuff
stuff so much where people are like
oh this person is doing it's the same with the
NFTs for gorillas
I don't think gorillas have a say
in the pricing it's a corporate thing
it's a corporate collaboration it's
I don't think Damon has any saying it
really I will say the
prices are ridiculous.
How much should we talking?
Like the noodle dress was like 600 quid or something.
Jeez.
Okay, so they go in for that like, uh, you know, they want the, the easies sort of.
Yeah, I guess they want it to be like premium and the gorilla stuff to be premium or whatever.
I find it kind of lame when it's like that ridiculous.
Totally.
But yeah.
The thing is, if you don't agree with the prices, don't buy it.
Yeah, and they've been doing this for a while, like that do you.
thing song was like a converse
like tie-in
so yeah that's true it's true
um
Jamie Conway left a comment saying
could you guys please once Alex has recovered
film a day out vlog of you guys
going to see Free Guy that would be epic
we do want to
well unfortunately
we actually are going to watch Free Guy
yeah that's a much better way of putting it
we are definitely going to see Free Guy
and well it's not going to elude
us man we can't we can't miss out we're not gonna let ryan reynolds get away with another
just atrocity but if i've got if we're gonna go by if we're gonna go by the review of one of our
favorite people jordan b peterson he says it's incredible so you know could it could actually be
if an intellectual on his level is a praising our lord and savior ryan reynolds
let's end this segment with this one it's one i it's when i say it from a while ago
when we're talking about, like, English slang.
But it was a post on Reddit from a Josh Road who said,
James, Sorted is definitely not American.
As a Chevy driving, hot dog eating, Midwest, dwelling, gun-toting,
Fahrenheit using, Miller-like drinking American,
I can definitely say Sorted is very rarely used in the American vernacular.
I imagine that the context Alex meant was like,
oi, I got a cavity in my teeth
And somebody says in return
Ah, best get that sorted
Americans do not say that
Sort or sorted is usually only used
In sort of or I sorted the tin from the copper
That's the bullshit context
That's the exact thing I said
I said that everyone uses sorted
In the context he just said
I didn't say it was American
I just said everyone
Every English speaking country
Oh have you done that job
Have you nailed the bull
Oh yeah, I sorted it.
That's a fucking English word.
Everyone fucking using it.
Now, that is not what James said.
That is exactly what I said.
No, stop trying to gaslight me.
No, you're gaslighting us.
The whole audience here, bro.
Fuck, in the audience.
They're all trying to gaslight me.
When I hear sorted, like Alex said, as an American,
I immediately think of an MPC in the Witcher 3 or something.
Also, Ohio is the Swindon of America.
I'm tempted to say Florida, but I figure that should be its own beast entirely.
Well, yeah, because, like,
Swindon doesn't have like Swindon man, like a renowned Swindon man, like John Roof stories.
I bet you there is a Swindon man out there.
No, but not to the same level as the Florida man.
Well, the thing is with Florida, it's not really fair.
Like, you just stick people and alligators into like a, into a space.
Yeah, then shit is just going to get wild.
That's how it's going to go with the weather and everything and like the swamp nature.
of Florida.
We've got an advantage that.
When I screencat this earlier,
I was trying to think, like,
what it would sound like
as someone with an American accent
to say sorted
in the way we would say it.
And how wrong that would do?
Have you actually seriously used
sorted in the context you are arguing?
So, like, I've just finished cleaning.
I'm like, ah, saw it.
You've never said that.
No, don't say cleaning,
because that could mean, like,
sorting your
items
what about when I just
finished sorting
you don't say it like that well then saying
sorted you'd be saying sorted
in the way an American would use it
no but they wouldn't just say it one off like that
yeah they would sort it
James do
an American accent saying sorted
no but I can't because I've never
once in my life you
sorted the way you say the
English people you've sorted
You have said I've sorted it
If my dad walks in and says
Have you sorted this?
I'll be like, yes, I've sorted that
Normal English word in a normal English sentence
I've never said, oh, saw it
Just said it
I'm being
Like I've never seriously
Use that
And I believe that the majority of English viewers
Have also not used it in the way
The stereotypical way that you are arguing
You have, you have.
You haven't. You haven't. I've never heard you say it.
Well, what do you mean?
It's not very solid. Have you said, have you, have you used, sorted in the way you're saying the English people use sorted?
Yeah, but what are you saying is the way that we're saying how to use it?
Oh, sorted. You know this.
But you're arguing, this is your argument, but what I'd always do was say sorted, ready salted.
Yeah, which is crazy English. Yeah. Yeah, it is.
I've never used that evil.
Do Americans even know what ready salt is?
Yeah.
But in my defence, in my defence, I am the most American out of all of us, so maybe that's my...
Well, if you are, we got some American shade, we've got to throw right now, if we move into topics.
Alex, I always have American shade to throw.
Jim bought some Twizzlers from Stainsbury, right?
When did you buy those?
Yesterday.
I've never had a Twizzler.
They're like, well, until yesterday.
I guess
what's an equivalent
The thing
That seems most comparable to me
Is like strawberry laces
Strawberry lances maybe
Yeah maybe strawberry pensions
Take one and
Have a bite
I want to know your opinion on it
So I'll do the thing I do
As soon as I get any type of food
And
No no no no
No just fucking bite it
Just go for it please
Just tear it off and bite
But I need to know the information
Jamie
You just need to bite.
Bite into that delicious twizzler.
Yeah.
Well, the actual fuck is wrong with, um, American confectionery.
Why does it taste like toothpaste?
Mmm.
Is that what it tastes?
It tastes like, um...
You know, like, when you're a little kid and that you have that sweet strawberry toothpaste.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It tastes like that.
But that sounds kind of alluring to me.
But when it's like I want that fake, disgusting taste from something like that.
But it's almost too muted in these twists.
It's not strong enough.
It's not flavorful.
It just, it feels the flavor is just like the texture of it.
Like there's not actually a flavor until you get toothpaste.
It does say strawberry flavored.
They're not strawberry at all.
Artificially flavored.
The thing is you eat a strawberry British sweet.
Like, let's say a fruit paste.
You get kicked in the fucking teeth by strawberry.
You get overwhelmed by strawberry.
That's how it should be.
If you're going to eat something that's pretending to be strawberry,
it should be overwhelmingly strawberry.
It should be giving you more strawberry than a strawberry can give you.
If your fake creation isn't able to scratch that fake itch.
Yeah, but it's not even remotely strawberry-flavored.
No.
I don't know what strawberries they're growing in America.
I think that's the point there.
I think they're not as strong because they want people to buy more of them.
To be dulled, so you have to eat two packs of them together.
Yeah, which means they get more money.
It's a capitalist country.
That's what they do.
Well, so are weird, why is he doing this?
They're trying to kill me.
I'm trying to kill them.
What was that?
Yeah, what?
It was in my mouth.
It was stuck at the back.
Oh, did some family juice go the wrong way?
No, the, these shit-stropy lances.
Never call Corona family geese ever again.
That's horrible.
No, I like that.
I think it should stay.
But what is...
That twizzler's gone straight through you, dude.
Things go awry when we record the cars later.
What time is it?
No.
It's only half night.
I'm honestly, I'm so glad we didn't record it early today
because it would have been fucking terrible.
I wasn't awake until like, fucking quarter past 2pm anyway.
I was up my desk, like, C-Bed out of my mind.
No, I've been consuming a lot of CBD recently.
Don't just start on CBD.
In what form?
Um, in liquid form.
what's going on
so for lunch today
I had the old British beans on toast
I've wrecked my stomach
I've ruined all day
I've been just like
in agony
and then I shit myself
and feel all right for half an hour
and then it comes back
really what have you eaten
well an entire can of beans
on top of some whole meal bread
with cheese
with a lot of cheese
Yeah, the cheese
I hate being that guy
I hate being the stinky one
The fuck guy
It is very difficult
It's very difficult to be the stinky one
Out of us free
Why it's where I'm into this
I'm not stinky
I feel like James wins
The Stinky One Award
Yeah
With no competition
No I've deduced it down
What's the one thing
We have on a regular basis
That could
cause wind
McDonald's
we don't have
surely that if
that's a constant variable
and we're not all
like fighting equally
all of our bodies
are different okay
and mine's exceptionally fucked
but back to CBD
it's interesting because you said
I think for a while
like some time ago
he said that you never noticed
you never noticed anything
when you had CBD
so you thought it would have been
like um when you think it so it is well placebo
right so what is it now that's made you consume CBD well
it must have it must have been in lockdown so 2020 my birthday you got me a CBD joint
I got you yeah no because it was a whole like selection of CBD items yeah because
join lockdown because I'd order it regularly so I was just like if I'm gonna get stuff I'm
gonna buy you some and I'll give you some and I'd always you know share out
the goodness.
Yeah.
So you gave me that CBD joint and I felt that, like, big time.
Yeah.
Which was mainly just like tiredness.
Yeah, you feel so relaxed, just slow.
Yeah, almost too relaxed.
Yeah.
But, yeah, the drinks and shit, it is just like a sleep utility.
I think, I think instead of, if you're someone that ever struggles with sleep, I don't think you should
go to a doctor and get prescribed some like crazy strong pill that makes you feel shit for
like 30 hours because that was always my experience with any sort of sleep drug
because the next day like you you feel wiped out yeah just destroyed it doesn't help though
really does it long term if you've got a recurrent sleep issue those type of hard drugs
are not going to help I've never had a sleep issue so bad I'd have to go to the doctor
is the thing. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying
like, we know better than doctors, but I think
you should give CBD a go first
before anything else, at least if it's
accessible to you, because, like...
It is actually really accessible now,
actually think, like, everyone in America
can kind of get access to it because
everyone in the UK is.
Yeah, like, Sainsbury sell, like,
a few drinks of it. I've seen a flat
jacks in there. And there's stores everywhere,
even our local town has
dedicated shops for it.
But it's like, I've got, at this
point I've got pretty bad chronic like bad sleep I don't really sleep good and I haven't for
last few years and it's like I use CBD to fall asleep it's the only way I can actually get like
a consistently deep sleep where I wake up feeling refreshed because I can go to sleep at like 9 o'clock
and wake up at 8 but it's like not deep sleep so you don't feel rested with CBD actually getting deep
yeah yeah resting I find it doesn't make me fall asleep like instantly but it but I don't
don't wake up in the night
anymore.
Yeah, my rate is good stuff.
Yeah, definitely.
Because like,
it's obviously got its uses outside of trying to help you sleep.
Like, for anxiety and whatnot,
it can be really helpful to get you to chill out.
And it's something I need to implement more in my day-to-day life,
join workouts with stress.
It's like I should actually drink more almost.
The droplets under the tongue are quite good for them.
Yeah, and I also recently,
discovered that there's like a water
soluant you spray on
on anything and it blends in
so you can use it on coffees and whatnot.
That's cool. There's loads of
like even if you're apprehensive about it
there's different ways to have it.
Like edibles I found and drinks are the easiest
and they're the most simple because it's like
you go to work and it's like you can just have like
a flapjack and then you're just going to be relaxed.
And like I always sing
the praises of CBD because it helps me so much.
You know I've known someone who's had like
agonising back pain to the point he
can't sleep, and he's gone through all of the medical system to try and get help.
Only thing that helped him with CBD.
Everyone's different, but it's definitely something you should try.
And I know we've talked about CBD before, but...
Yeah, the only thing is the price.
It's expensive.
It's expensive.
Depressing, because there's probably some people out there just don't have the money for it
who could really benefit off of it.
Yeah, you can say the same for a lot of medicinal type products.
Yeah, totally.
But try it, it's great
Topics
I said in the last episode
I was going to bring up Halo Infinite
when we were all together again
because I wanted to get your guys' opinions on it
So, um
Well, more has come out since that episode
Yeah, since the last episode
There was the Gamescom show, not show
As I like to say
Where it was a bit of an embarrassing affair really
Because I like watch the Halo YouTube
and I was watching, like, Hidden Experia had a scheduled stream for that.
Yeah, we, you were watching it like an hour before because I came in and I was gym.
So I'm saying, but even before that day, the day before he did a stream saying like this,
the gamescom stream were expecting that Halo Infinite and during the stream, it was just kept going
and going and they just weren't referencing Halo once.
And it got to like 20, 30 minutes into the stream and it was just, I just knocked out like this
and it's not going to be here.
So then everyone was freaking out after.
because, of course, it wasn't there on that day.
It doesn't give you much confidence in the product if you're missing.
But then the day after, they did have something to show at the, like, Jeff Keeley Show bit thing,
where they finally gave it a release date of December 8th, I think.
I think this could be a conspiracy theory,
but I'm pretty sure it's to get out of the way of Caller Duty and possibly at Battlefield.
Yeah, that's long been the theory.
But what they actually showed was a...
A CG trailer for a season one of multiplayer.
And then they showed a controller and a console.
And then they went home.
Which the trailer looked deeply unimpressive,
and it was basically...
I just got Spartan Ops Wives from it.
It seemed like they're trying to do the story-driven multiplayer type...
Yeah, it was like their equivalent of when a new apex season comes out,
they put a trailer out that's got like the intro for...
the season it's like that equivalent thing but then
another news came out to
that um you're like
can't up you can't level up the battle pass without
chasing challenges um see there's no
XP system there's no so what it is
it's pretty much the same as the system in apex
where you've got to do challenges yeah because I think in apex you actually
there's still an XP system yeah it's the both
combined in a natural
way that makes sense
and I think as well
they've said that you can't actually unlock
any armor outside of the battle pass system
so that's the only
which for HALO I think is a bit
ridiculous because that was that's how
you got armor you would play
you know Hyboosa the
vidmasters that was the appeal of
getting these challenges and these
reasons to grind
so I'm like
I've since like you know the news about
no multiplayer and cult campaign
and Forge.
My interest is completely dropped
because I think the biggest appeal of Halo
has always been playing co-op campaign.
Yeah.
That's what we always did that with all of them.
We've gone out the way to be able to do that.
That one in particular is a huge sticking point.
The co-op campaign thing.
It's actually mind-boggling to me.
I don't understand what state the game is in
where a feature that basic cannot be at launch.
because it implies they designed it
without it in mind at all
yeah
they must have done
which
which doesn't make it any sense
it is so confusing
it is a staple of Halo
like that
it's been a core feature literally
in every one of them
yeah it's it was a big deal
when Halo 5 didn't have
split screen
and they got a load of ship for it
and like promised and doubled down
don't worry about it
we'll never do that again
yeah yeah it's it's
shows how little they
think they understand Halo
because like what made Halo so famous
why would why did everyone care
about Halo? Why did everyone care about Halo 3?
Because they went one of their friends' house and they
played co-op campaign. Yeah. That's what made
Halo what it is and then the multiplayer.
So by not having it it's like
they don't think they understand. I think they're
lost in this like
the only thing
that's going to come which I
know people might get angry at this
because I know Halo fans seem to be die hard on
this even no matter what.
The only thing good that's coming out of his Halo
is Halo Infinite five years later.
That's the only thing that's going to come out of this game.
Because I'm so fascinated to how the development was
because it sounds fucked.
Yeah, that's what's keeping me going.
It's just like, I'm just intrigued at this point.
Will this be like, I don't think it can be
to like cyberpunk levels, but if this, when it comes out
and it is a mess.
Well, they just keep raising the stakes for themselves.
They're like raising the pressure so high that, like,
so much is riding on this mysterious campaign and if it's like not like really good they're going
to be in trouble yeah I mean they announced the game too soon I'm gonna say it now I don't
think this game should come out on the 8th of December of this year I think you're in the camp
if you want it just delayed till there's that yeah I don't you're completely yet no but I don't
understand how Halo 3 can be made in 2007 and it's it's got a campaign it's got four player
co-op, which the game, no
Halo had that before. It has
multiplayer, obviously, it has
Forge, which was created
new for Halo 3, it has a whole theatre
and that's all just in the game at launch.
Why can't we get that anymore?
We can't even get the same thing
we used to get. Now they've
gone back to how, to
before Halo 1,
because even Halo 1 had co-op
on launch. Yeah, yeah, so more
their bones and had it won. So they've
gone that far back and they're
releasing even less of a product
but check out this
CGI trailer we did to
get you to buy the Battle Pass.
Yeah, but not what I asked for.
Yeah, they spend all this time showing us
like how the Battle Pass works
and what you can and can't get from it and
all this shit and it's like how much
how much time are you putting into
the Battle Pass and how you're going to
drip money from your player base
as opposed to actually just releasing
the one exclusive
that your entire
video game platform stands on.
For anyone who's been following this game for a while
they'd know that this was coming
just based off like the way they were hiring
for the studio and like the job titles and everything.
That's the biggest giveaway to any new game in development.
Show the priorities, isn't it?
Even respawn at the moment.
It's like their recent ones just like
they're hiring people to reinvent
a formula in a game to make it more
interesting. Then there's no battle pass
fucking marketing. Bullshit.
I generally
have no faith in this game at all.
I really don't.
I think that anniversary, was it 20th anniversary?
It's the single most expensive skin you can
buy for anything. It's a fucking
console, a bit of a kick in the teeth.
It's not just a console.
It's already on eBay that's been scout.
because you
in this in this stupid trailer
they were like oh
we wouldn't just give you
a shitty controller skin and then it's like
I said to you it's going to be a console
to match the controller and then it was like
oh it actually
is
why can't we get a
Halo 3 remaster or something
it's a big deal 20 years
give us
it's insulting
that like
an Xbox that you would have done
anyway like they always do that
Yeah, yeah.
It's not like a reveal or a surprise.
No, it's like they don't care about what Halo means to them.
Because it is the entire reason Xbox was successful through the...
I think that's what's so crazy about it.
It's like they let it get to the state.
Yeah, I think they're so deep in like a financial drain where it's like no matter what it needs to be put out of the door.
because they must be 100 plus million into this,
even if not more.
Way more.
Yeah, like 500.
Way, way more than that.
There's six years of the development
with creative leads coming in and out
with that delay, a year delay,
and that included in that year delay
was all those done marketing deals.
They were complete.
Remember all those like energy drinks
with like Master Chief on them
that were all flowing around?
That is expensive shit, just wasted.
You've got a question, if you've actually invested that much money,
I don't think another year delay is going to do much, as in financially.
It'll do much for the game.
It's like rock in a hard place.
It's like they were in a situation where it's so fucked up clearly.
They just had to pick a date and be like, well, I guess this is when the game begins.
We'll fix it from there.
It seems to be it is just identical to the Master Chief Collection launch.
It's just going to be broken for a year.
Maybe two years down the line, it's going to be a good product.
The MCC has the backbone of there is already three good games within this package
That you can't really fuck up even though they tried their best
Yeah, no, they did fuck it up
They just straight up did
But like the campaign
You could play through Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3
Just about
Yeah
Was it that bad, I don't
Yeah like co-op
Don't you remember we'd like like I remember co-op being cow up and like
Yeah being shit
No it was straight up fucked
You could play single player
Just about
So you could say that there is
Yeah, they did fuck out
If you buy it now
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
When it came out
It was actually like
I can't believe
How fuck that was
But if if
If Infinite comes out
And the campaign sucks
Like is equal to Halo 4 or 5 campaign
Because they both suck
And I'm getting real bad vibes
Off the dialogue
Yeah
Yeah
It's way too
Dramatic and
Judging that their like
Original plan was to make it
Like Farquai
I think that
What was it
No, the rumor is, yeah, Ghosts Recon Wildlands.
That's it, yeah.
The previous creative was such a chance.
So they've clearly still got those assets there.
Yeah, so basically they need to rejig all that stuff
and turn it into a Halo game.
But 343 have never made a good Halo campaign.
And so if it comes out and the campaign side sucks,
that is never getting fixed.
No.
This is what Cyberpunk releasing,
and it's god-awful state has shown.
Like, you can release an unfinished game,
but if there is things, like, in the game that just don't work,
like systems that are poorly designed,
that's pretty much set in stone.
Like, you...
Unless it's destiny.
Which is what they're going for.
Yeah.
But could you see them releasing single-player content past?
I think that's the thing.
their plan that's what they've said
they've been saying this whole 10 year plan
thing and they're like
I won't comment on any leaks or
there are loads of spoilers out there for the game and all these
leaks but
you know there are certain things that point to
it's just the vibe I was getting was that the only content
we'd be getting post launch will be like multiplayer
stuff no they want it to be a platform like destiny
but the part they're confident in is the multiplayer
no but destiny that the multiplayer has had a way more
consistent development in the campaign
because that creative
lead for the campaign was not the same
creative lead on the multiplayer who's been there
for a while. Why would
they want to create the Destiny type
platform when Destiny has the
looting shooting going for it?
When your game isn't a looter shooter, you can't
make a platform out of it because you won't
get people back. It's a AAA games
industry man. They've been a creatively
like
bankrupt company for a while
in terms of that
that side of it.
There's just what Sacki said has been improving over and over again.
But it's not accepted by the industry in the same way anymore.
It used to be an accepted fact, and now the industry sees it more like, oh, I guess
No Man's Sky and Destiny are like...
They fixed it.
Oh, they can do it, so we can do it as well.
Yeah.
Support indie games.
Support Hades.
Yeah, just buy Hades.
um there's one more topic i want to throw out there before we go to mid break because it's just so
fucking weird did you see the i have a dream as in fortnight
yeah yeah i i
like this is one where i was like when i first started seeing the screenshots i figured
again because this is actually how ridiculous that like satire
satar of the world is i think it's like onion articles or like fake photoshops that have been
shared around but then i like google it for real and see a bunch of like actual no i i remember because
we we were all talking um and i said martin luther king is in fortnight and you guys obviously
just took it as a joke and i was like no he he is he's like the new addition to fortnight
martin luther king is in fortnight i saw i saw an in-game shot of someone in
event and it's like it's in Washington so there is Washington is being played on a
on a screen and it was just the screen of it and the character's an alien and then there's
wick from wick-a-morty next to him and it's just like what the actual fuck is this shit no like it
because the fortnight was turning into um that shit film and book ready player one ready
player one already and i thought like well ready player one actually kind of like predicted something
that's kind of credit to that person
but never did I expect
like just historical figures
I guess are going to start cropping up in these platforms
are they trying to kind of position Fortnite
as like an educational tool now as well
is that what they're going for
because if it like what actually is the purpose of it
it's a game to battle whale
but like is it like to introduce kids
to these concepts
I guess
So that's not a bad thing
No
Is that just how kids learn now
Yeah
It's like not only a kid's going to be playing
Fortnite every day
It is going to be their education
I'd be curious the way like the actual target demographic
Like kids the way they are talking about it
Like when they're in the game
What are they saying?
It's one thing for us
Like looking at it from this our perspective
but like...
Three non-Fortnight.
Just imagine if we were 12, 11
and we grew up in this time,
how would we react to it?
It's just wacky.
It's just like...
I can't read like what reality is anymore,
it seems like it's...
Yeah.
So what...
What do you think comes next?
If we've had the Wickermorty,
have had Marvel, Infinity War,
we've had so many co-lubs.
it's had to start at wars
what's next we've had
Travis Scott performances
Ariana Grande performances
like what's next
marshmallow performances
what where does this go
Elon Musk going to show up or
it's going to be out
I don't think we can
That's too predictable
It's just going to be something you'd never expect
I wouldn't have never expected
Martin Luther King's speech in former
That's what I mean
It's just so like what
so out of left field it seems
to go from that
like aliens and terminate a trailer
and then suddenly it's like what the fuck
okay
how would you feel about Martin Luther King being added
as a playable character in Fortnite
too far
he's dropping out of the balance
what about the the four fathers
the founding fathers
that I'm fine with
I think that could he very easily
happen because I'd be surprised
if they're not already in
in some thought
because they've now taken
the actual step
towards actual people
being like Namar
was recently like in it
so they're going that step
to be all celebrities
can you actually imagine
them selling
like a Martin Luther
skin in the store
and maybe
maybe not now
but in 50 years
oh in 50 years
we'll be in Fortnite
everyone will be in Fortnite
I'm going to say why now
give it one to two years
Fortnite the movie
they're going to announce
an actual movie of it
that you watch in the game
oh my god
yeah they'll tie it into the game somehow
because you think of all these game series
that are getting films
Fortnite is bigger than all of them combined
Fortnite is getting a movie
Apex Legends is getting an anime
they would have that Minecraft movie problem
where it's like what is like the story
like what the fuck do you do
it would just be some hack Lego movie plot
like
the Lego movie
pot's good bro
we're also forgetting
like a knock on copy of it
well yeah
all the other
like the Juplo movie
or whatever the fuck
the Nenjago movie
the Playmobile movie
and stuff
yeah
they're just ripping off
the Lego movie
yeah yeah
so it's just gonna be that
but Fortnite
directed by
um
I feel like it'll be more like
this new space jam
where it's just like
yeah
you've got all the money
let's just have like
an alien
fighting the
tomato town monster
yeah we're also forgetting something else
that recently happened with fortnight
and that was the among us mode
oh yeah
and if my prediction
is that fortnight
is just going to become roblocks
where there's going to be loads of different games
ways to play it yeah
like a tank shooter like world of tanks
then you have racing games
it will just adopt every game yeah
so it will get like a first person shoot
mode at some point.
Yeah.
It'll get, what else?
Racing games, tank games,
flying games, Microsoft's flight simulator.
It will just become
everything.
It's wacky, man.
It genuinely does
have that potential, though.
To go that in that direction, I think
James could be right.
That's the only way
it can, like, expand.
Because it's huge. Yeah, and then it will
get VR, and then
it will just be ready player one
but with Martin Luther King as well
I think you're on something here
just straight up
yeah
no and that
that will just be the world that people live in
to some degree
there'll be jobs within the world
like mining Bitcoin but you're actually
like digging into the Fortnite Earth
mining
the Bitcoin
I think farming NFTs and shit
I think that's something we need to do
we need to all sit down and play fortnight together
we need to see we need to understand
first-hand experience what's going on
that's one of the weirdest things though
no part of me wants to play it
not even a little bit
I have fun
what's the gameplay loop I have same as apex
it's a battle away out yeah but worse
no but they got that like cod feel of that apex
what is the Fortnite feel
yeah just awful
A really, like, a cheap copy of Gears of War without the cover shooter?
No, it's...
It's just like a cheap generic third-person shooter.
It's the kind of...
With an emphasis on building.
Yeah.
It's like a fake game.
It's like a game designed to just be in the background in a movie.
Yeah.
That's exactly right.
You could not describe it better than that.
I do have fun memories of it.
Because we played it when it was the beta, but nobody fucking gave a shit about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
First game of Fortnite.
ever play a got a win we got a few wins by being we did i didn't understand how to play the
games we just do nothing all game yeah that's when it was the most fun when just no one i even
understood yeah there was no matter it was like a just children it was like we were children playing
fortnight yeah yeah just no actual understanding of what was going on and that was it yeah because i
remember i remembered the moment it was over for me it was like um a ninja video showed up in my
recommended just seeing the way he played fortnight it's like
the skill ceiling on this game.
It's like...
Yeah, just ridiculous.
So what we did is we went to apex instead.
Mm-hmm.
Which isn't any better.
No, but it actually feels good.
Yeah, it's actually a good game.
It has self-respect.
Like these messages, which we'll see you right after.
Hello, everyone. It's me, Alex.
Almost got 2 million subscribers I do.
buy one of my JAR Media shirts, available in the description below.
Bye!
Welcome to the second half of the JARMedia POSD Act
will be answered questions from the subreddit.
Head over to the suggestion thread on R slash JARMedia
if you want to ask us any bits or bobs.
Just like Shalman 5 did,
a few threads ago, but I've saved this one.
Before I ask my question, I'd just like to thank you, boys, for doing the Yogs.
When it first started, I was in year 7,
and as of tomorrow it will be my last year of sick form,
which is completely unrelated to the rest of this message,
but it's just a timescale to show how much the yogs has influenced me in my formative years.
That's fucking crazy.
Also, I was one of the guys who you met on the tube after guerrillas.
I'm only saying this because on 240, Alex said he didn't catch my name,
which is Thomas, you can all rest easy now.
I'm also bringing this up because I want to say that meeting you guys on the tomb was genuine,
on the tube, sorry, was genuinely one of the best moments of my life,
which isn't really saying much because I'm still a little.
little baby when compared to the rest of the things that could happen in my life
but meeting you guys has set the bar pretty high I can't speak today
now this question which mainly goes to James because to my knowledge he's the only
person on the cast who has seen the show what do you think slash have you seen the
trailer and or event for Jojo part six also for the rest of the cast what are your
outsiders impressions of the Jojo franchise weirdly enough me and Jamie watched
episode one of um you did we watched episode
one of season two from what i understand
yeah
did you like it
it's it's one of the most
like insane
pieces of media i've ever
witnessed in terms of what
the like the pace of it
the colors it's incredibly fast-paced
the the plot is
ludicrous
the
it's it's genuinely like
I'm sure it's meant to be funny
yeah it's light-hearted yeah because it's it's it's just like pure entertainment it's and it's it's
it's super stupid and it knows it's super stupid but like you can tell it's got heart behind it
yeah yeah enjoy what I saw I've I've always been intrigued um for some reason this
kid's cartoon I remembered called like bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo oh my god yeah I do remember that yeah
It's not related to Jojo
But the way you're describing the craziness and the wackiness
It just reminded me of that for some reason
Was Boba Bob like a making fun of anime?
I don't know I was too young
Yeah, so long, I don't like I haven't thought about Boba Bo Bo in fucking
So many years
Yeah
But yeah, I keep meaning to start watching it
It was on Netflix
Yeah, no, it's on Netflix, we've watched it
yeah so that's the thing
if I just remember it's there
part six is coming to Netflix as well I think
I
part six I
haven't seen the trailer but I am
hyped for it I just need to watch the other ones
but they're just not on Netflix
UK I think they're on
like Netflix US
and I don't have a VPN on
my TV so I can't get access
to it yeah so but yeah
I'm I'm hyped I honestly
I fucking love Joe
JoJo. Jo's so fucking stupid. I love it.
Thank you, Thomas.
Yeah, thanks, Thomas.
Music Hetter said,
just a comment to say thanks as the JAR Posdak got me a job.
One of the assessment centre questions was about
how brands built up communities with customers.
So I talked about Halo Infinite for 45 minutes straight.
Can't thank Agy enough for the insight you've given
with your JAR media shirt selling.
What?
Super, I don't understand.
What do you mean?
How's Jarl getting other people jobs, but it's not getting me a job?
I've been living out my car for like, what, a month and a half now?
Like a Chris Pontius?
Yeah, like Chris Johnteus.
A cucksa left one saying, possibly epic roleplay.
James plays Takumi Fujiwara and has the Toyota AE 86.
Jim plays Max and has the Ford Falcon XBGT.
Alex plays Dom Torato and has the 1970 Dodge Charger.
Now debate on who has the best car and who has the best driving skill, then race.
Dominic doesn't have any driving skill.
When in fast reviews do they actually show any skill?
Not even in the first one, I react.
No, Ben, it shows any skill.
Max is...
This is a roleplay
You're not
You're supposed to be role playing as
Takumi Fujiwara
Okay, I'll role play as
Takumi Fujiwara
What
Jim, what is James doing for the
The joke is Space Boy
Because he spaces out
What was my nickname in college
Space Boy
Because I spaced out a lot
Oh is that like his character
I've never seen an issue
Was he called Space Boy as well
Your college
Your college course
Did everyone that was on it
Had they all seen initial D?
No.
It was only my little group who saw initial D.
Right, okay.
Like, Tukumi's like,
it's hard to explain his character.
He's not thick,
but he just doesn't give a shit about racing,
and he spaces out,
and he's not interested.
But he's the best fucking racing driver ever,
because his dad made him street race at the age of like 14.
Carrying Tofu up the mountain pass,
and if he spills the wool,
to he's fuck the tofu.
He slides with not spilling the water.
See, this is another one that just sounds awesome and funny.
No, no, the original series of Initial D is fucking incredible.
Because it's like really fucking goofy and it looks ridiculous and the 3D shit.
Then the stupid white panditrino comes out and then Eurobeep starts blasting.
It's like, yes.
Yes!
I can't do a Domitreto voice.
I can't.
I was just going to wait for someone to put,
forward an argument and then I was going to say that's bait.
Who would win though James out of those three?
Well two of those cars can't go one corners and the only one that can't
is the Panditrino but the Panditrino has like 160 brake horsepower and we'll get
absolutely a pun we'll buy the other two.
It's like if it's a drag race those two would win.
If there's a a corner the Panditrino would win.
Lynn Zinnner says hey Alex on multiple cars you've talked about
how England has really good confectionery
and I was wondering if there were any
specific ones you'd recommend trying
out. I know this probably isn't the best question to ask
since you haven't been able to taste
but I hope you get well as soon. Minge on.
Cabri.
I was getting angry the fact
that they were saying about English confectionery and that fucking shit-stained.
Oh, the Twizzlers, yeah.
Yeah, just cabri in the
different types.
Cabri different types.
Fruit scratch, different edge, depending on what you're
so you know fruit gams
milker
shut the fuck up is not even British
milk is not even English man
not milker
fruit gams
uh sports mix
nag most people like fruit pastles
I'm not crazy about fruit pastels but most people
most people love fruit pastels
the other ones
no the really tiny ones
I don't know what they're called but they're shit
randoms
everyone likes a random
See, I think the confectionery selection is so vast,
the only way to truly know is just to try it for yourself.
Yeah, no, go to just go to England, go to a Teske or Sainsbury's,
go down that sweet aisle, you're on a fucking new world.
I will say, jammy dodgers.
The one thing that everyone forgets, really fucking good munchies.
Munchies are fucking incredible.
I had a pack of munchies the other day.
I don't mind munchies.
They're good.
I'm not really one for caramel
either
but
it's because it's
that biscuit ball
yeah there's a biscuit ball
within a chocolate
encasing
so the biscuit ball
is surrounded by
caramel
within a chocolate encasing
but if you're going
if you're going to mention
the biscuit
Malteseers
yeah Maltisers
and also brownie M&Ms
Eminem's
M&Ms aren't British
right?
No, they're not actually
No
The bounty version is for sound
They're very good
What about Lyme bars
How do you feel about Lion bars?
Are they British?
I don't know
Um
Isn't
Cabri owned by
The American company
Hershey's
Yes
Are you trying to say that Cabri's
They don't have
Cabri in America though
So technically counts
Um, yeah, they got rid of them
because nobody wanted to buy Hershey's.
Yes, that all.
A trucker is actually shed.
From what I understand, they, they did sell dairy milk.
But they...
But it was too good.
It was too good.
It was, uh, when, uh, Hershey's got them, they were like,
nah, eat Hershey's.
That's an American staple.
I don't know. It could be total bullshit.
It's like, you go to America and, like, all the sweets of shit, the chocolate shit.
shit. So what have you got to eat? Donuts?
No, when it comes to sweet stuff, Americans do, like, actually, that's more of a Canada thing,
like pancakes and waffles.
That's not sweet, though. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's,
maple syrup.
Sweet.
That's breakfast.
Yeah, but they're not sweets, aren't they?
We're talking about confectionary sweets.
Yeah, because they've got, like, Oreos and, like, uh, those coconut balls in a bag.
Coconut balls in a bag?
Yeah, the carp and diehard eats one.
coconut balls in a bag
I've never had one because they look stupid and dumb
That's why you
Coconut is underrated though
No but they're like coconut balls in a bag that the cop eats
Twinkies as well
Twinkies suck
It's all just a bit like wrong
You know what we're gonna do the
The mini roll challenge
No we're not
I'm not I'm not I'm not
We'll do the mini roll challenge and the Twinkie challenge
And we'll see
Who Vommets first
No we'll see which
is better going off of capacity.
I don't want to do those challenges.
I fucking hate me anyways, and Twinkies make me want to be sick.
I'm not doing either of them.
Okay, be a square then.
We can do a square challenge if you want, or more kids are challenge.
Square challenge?
Yeah, squares are good.
Squares are good, actually. Add that to the list.
No.
Get some squares.
I disagree.
What do you mean you disagree?
You just said you'd do the square challenge.
Have you ever had a Kalmelf square that's been melted in the sun?
I fucking ruined all of them.
Caramel's fucking ruined all of them.
This is my life, bro.
This is what I've experienced.
Poo-Poo-Poo-Wee-Wee as one.
Question for James.
Did you see the new Evangelion rebuild?
If so, what did you think?
I haven't seen it.
I have no idea what happens, but...
Have you seen any of the rebuilds?
Yeah, I've seen up to the third one and I explained to you that they're fucking.
bizarre they make no sense yeah I can't I can't tell what the read is in terms of like
what people think about them from what I know is the rebuilds a shit so people
don't like the rebuilds from what I can gather yeah but everyone cares about the
rebuilds because it's Evangelion right you you tried to watch Evangelion again
recently didn't you I watched the first episode again um I just kind of bothered
right now with that. I'm not looking
for it. I think you will never be bothered
with it. I
Evangelion is fucking awful.
It's not worth watching.
You could watch Jojo. You're going to watch
initial D. Don't watch
fucking Evangelion. You've got
more respect for yourself.
You've got more time. You've got
things to do.
Not Evangelian.
Evangelian.
Evangelion.
You found fucking shittian.
Don't give a shit.
I don't know what it is anymore because
the combination of the way
I say and the way James says it, it's just
I don't know how you say it.
Evangelian. It's Evangelian. It is
Evangelian. That's the proper one.
Yeah. Okay.
Evangelion.
It's all fake bullshit.
Anyway, well on similar lines,
Monkey Mustard says,
thoughts on the live action cowboy
Bebought pictures.
Cringy?
Cringe.
Very cringe.
It's not in it.
Ed is just not in the live action.
Who gives this shit?
Ed's not in it?
Ed's not in it.
So it's like how can you have the Ein-Ed dynamic?
What's the point in Ein?
Oh, the cool...
Yeah.
It was Ed and Ein.
They were the combo.
They were the fucking reason to watch Cowboy Bebop.
You don't get Ed.
I'm like, I have no hope for it because it's Cowboy Bebop live action.
It's like Attack on Titan live action.
It's like, you don't get Ed.
You just don't do it.
It's not...
No, they did do that and it was sick.
I don't have hope.
It's Netflix in it as well.
Yeah.
If they pull it off, pull it off, it'll be like, wow, well done.
But I probably won't watch it.
Is it even possible?
I don't think it can.
The whole reason is good is because it's a fucking animated.
Yeah, it's a really bizarre animated series that didn't get any...
It's like a Western space and that style, that music.
I could imagine it really flat.
popping hard in live action and just not working that style.
I think that's probably what's going to happen.
Like the Cowboy Bebop itself, like,
I'm pretty sure it wasn't even successful at the time.
So only because it came like a cult thing that it's now like quite a...
It's because we're in the nostalgia era.
Yeah.
It's just like...
It didn't get a second series.
It got a spin-off movie, like a sequel movie, whatever.
But it's like it wasn't like a big deal back then, I think.
So making a live-action adaption doesn't make sense to me.
Could they do live-action?
Evangelian
You'd probably like
Cowboy
Because I don't
I don't really have any affinity
For the whole
Mecca anime thing
I just don't care
Whereas Westons and the whole
Space
Yeah yeah
Space Cowboy
But the set it's cool
See you
Gundam
I fucking love Gundam
So why do you hate
Evangelies so much
Because
Gundam
focuses on a different
aspect of Mecca.
Evangelion's about like the
psychological side
of it. Deconstructing Mecca anime.
And Gundam's about
a space conflict
and the big fucking robots.
Tiger
1-1-1 says, how do you deal with hate comments,
trolls and general internet toxicity?
I'd like to pursue social media like Reddit,
but I'm sometimes taken aback by how negative
and weirdly personal people on the internet can get.
You could post something in innocuous,
and there will always be someone who will completely take that out of context
and attack you somehow.
I know Alex especially has had a lot of experience with internet hate
for messing with Sonic fans,
but I'd appreciate everyone's input.
Thanks for the awesome podcast and stay fresh.
No matter what we say, no matter what anyone says, at first,
it depends what kind,
because I think getting like hate on a Reddit post is different to like,
doing a YouTube video.
Because I just, I remember getting pissed
or the angry comments on our original videos back in the day.
And like, if people leave hateful comments like now, I don't care.
I don't have enough cares.
Like, I'm a busy man.
I don't care.
But it's like, at first you always care.
And you always be super critical of what people say about you.
And I think everyone goes through that.
ask any YouTuber
they'll say the same thing
no matter what
you've got to go through that stage
but once you get past it
you just learn to not give a flying
fucking shit yeah like taking cold showers
it's just like hardening
that's the way I'd describe it
you just stop caring after a while
like people who are being just
not trolls it's like being horrible
for no reason it's just like I don't care about them
because they're clearly horrible people
for doing that in the first place
but it's just like the trolls
not trolls but it's like people who just being
annoying but I'm just like
it's hard to tell when
someone thinks
they're doing something in good humor
because they think
the internet isn't
a two-way street
you know it's not like face to face with someone
where um
you can read
you know turn a voice
body language blah blah blah
if someone
leaves like a
comment grilling you
it could
it could be them
thinking it's like a
joke in good humor
between there are like so many memes and in jokes
like
yeah yeah it's just so insane
yeah but I mean the
the
answer to it if you do suffer
from like
feeling personally attacked
from that sort of shit
don't look at it
mm-hmm
yeah
you'll like break it down into like what the base
like emotion of what it is like
a YouTube comment
is like pretty meaningless
in the grand scheme of things
being able to just like type something out
it's like the problem with text and Twitter and everything too
where it's like it's so easy
you're so anonymous there's so like little
responsibility to and it's not like in real life
where if you go into a supermarket
and you just start saying
every ridiculous, awful thing
that like pops up in your brain
like you can online,
there'd be consequences for that
that's not online.
So like,
the sheet you're reading,
like what are you actually reading?
It's like disparate random thoughts
that are just like someone just
in that moment,
whatever emotion they are,
just putting it out there.
Yeah.
I think people...
This point is thinking about at a certain point.
People have this weird stigma
against the block
they think if you get block
or you block someone
it's like you care
or you want
you're that upset by them
it's just like
it's a block
it's like why wouldn't I use it
see I've never been a blocker
or I'm a muter
mooting is it easy
and it's like
I can't listen
they never know
yeah
it's just like use those things
because if someone's that
persistent
with being horrible to you
they're gonna be persistent
so just if you mute them
you never
see it again. Boom, done.
Social media.
Healthy for brain?
Amazing for brain.
Larsson 16 says,
if the boys are back by the next episode, what are y'all's opinion on the next
Spider-Man film?
Yeah, is everyone here, so I don't even say that.
But any excitement since it is the most possible that
since it is most possible
that many characters from previous Spider-Man films
will be back based on the trailer leak
oh the trailer's actually out now
what did you think
it had the green goblin
it had
yeah green goblin
five leg is back
um
yeah I'm excited
fuck it
I don't give a shit what Scorsese
might say about me
I'm gonna see this film
and I'm going to enjoy it.
Fuck you.
Hmm, so you're a fan boy, huh?
Yeah, yeah, I'm a Sony pony.
Yes, I want a PS5.
Yes, I want to play Spider-Man Mars Morales.
Okay, I like Spider-Man.
Over here on the D.C. side of John.
On the Snyder side.
Um, yeah.
Yeah, if Toby McGuire turns up,
Spider-Man 2, this is a core memory for me.
It was leaving the, the, the sticky,
flawed cinema after seeing
Spider-Man 2 when I was
like six years old
and turning and saying to one of my parents
that's the best film I've ever seen
Spider-Man 2
is
Spider-Man 2 might have one of the best
superhero action scenes
ever conceived
it might be
the best superhero movie ever conceived
Spider vs.
Boe
sorry
nah the raindrops keep
falling on my head bit
when he eats the hot dog
it hits so right
Spider-Man 2 has an incredibly
special place in my heart
and if Toby McGuire turns up
and he fights fucking
dr. Octopus holy shit
no but we were just saying
about the nostalgia era
what do you think
because I've seen a bit of debate
about this online like
hmm
It depends how they're used in the story.
Yeah.
Surely the film is going to rip off Spider-Verse.
No, but that's the thing about Spider-Man.
Like, the Spider-Verse is just, like, a part of Spider-Man and always has been, you know?
No, I know, but in terms of, like, actual plot points and the role, like, Toby McGuire Spider-Man would have in the film.
Yeah, I don't know
I like Spider-Man
And there's a lot of the
The arguments on like
Social media about his like suit at the moment
Which is is the worst Spider-Man suit
They're like
Spider-Man 2 one
No, from this new one
From the current era Spider-Man
Where he's like Iron Spider
Where he goes and then he's in his suit
And he's got like robot arms
Yeah
Yeah, that's one of the worst parts
yeah you don't have the whole like he sees some crime going down he's like oh shit
and then he's got to like run into the hall yeah yeah the street no i like it being like a
a suit that he puts on not like microchips fucking
so in half a second it can yeah no that is lame but i don't give a shit if if if
if toby mcguire's going to pull his mask over his face and like open his shirt and
reveal the spider symbol yeah i'm going to
be down for it and yeah like
you know what
I'm sure we've chatted
a bunch of shit on like nostalgia bait
stuff
but I'm here for this one
and to be fair they could not
cast a bit of Doc Ock or Green Goblin
yeah never
so they did they know
later
yeah and like you said it's about how they
use it if because they're
clearly not just like
Star Wars remaking
the first Star Wars film
they're not just retrading that sort of shit
so if they show me something
I used to love in a new way
and make it interesting
I'm extra down for it
and hopefully the
de-aging effects aren't too creepy
yeah
yeah that's the main thing
because Alfred Molina
look pretty weird
mm-hmm
oh well
he's in Rick and Morty today so
it's cool
Let's do this one from Spooky One
Hey boys just wanted to share an embarrassing story with you
This was back when pubs first opened after lockdown
Naturally when the pubs opened again my friends and I went to our local
Not thinking that everyone else had the exact same idea
It was absolutely packed like sardines in a can
We had a couple drinks and I decided to go up and get another round
As I tried to squeeze past everyone to get up to the bar
I was accidentally pushed by someone and was thrown off balance
So to save myself from falling I put my hand out to the two
table behind me. Unfortunately, there happened to be a man in a wheelchair at this table,
but it wasn't an ordinary wheelchair. It was one of the motorized ones. So when I went to
grab the table instinctively, I accidentally caught the armrest of his chair. I knocked the
joystick of said chair, and he went zooming into the table, flipping it and causing his and
his mate's drinks to go everywhere. The entire pub paused and looked at me like I was some guy
going about bashing disabled people, so definitely not my best moment. With that said, what do you
consider your most embarrassing story of your life
so far. Big fan of the cast
keep up good work guys.
That's like
cartoonishly like
I feel sorry for you on that one dude
that one's really
bad. I can't top that
yeah
I can only think of one
kind of embarrassing thing from when I was
in sick form that you reminded me
of for some reason the other day
I did like design technology in sick form
and they had this like
really nice laser cutter
like you would use
so my project was a cardboard chair
made out of layers of cardboard so when you combine the layers
it's really strong right
um so I'd like design had the design in the software
and was getting the, like, cardboard sheets ready for the laser cutter to, like,
perfectly cut my, my staple out.
But, like, I fucked up the alignment of, like, the laser and the, like, table.
So, um, once you, like, lock in the design and lock in the laser, like, that's it.
Like, the laser just does the cut and you can't fucking stop it.
Um, but because I fucked up the alignment, the laser was, like, going off the grid and, like,
cutting into itself.
getting laser
cutting into it
and I stood there
just like fucking shitting myself
and the teacher
came over and was like
oh Jesus
I remember it so clearly
I did it more than once too
for memory
I was Alex again
trying to set the machine on fire
well
everything I did in school
what like my brain is a bit like for juzzled but it's like is this about embarrassing moments
because all of my school life is embarrassing just an embarrassing moment
the bus running era um the school's like too easy
okay what's the most embarrassing thing you've done as an adult um it's difficult
when it has to actually be a good story as well.
Yeah.
I've done nothing like interestingly, interesting.
Well, the worst one I can think of it, it's like the most cliche thing, but I ordered pizza, the pizza arrives.
It's like...
It always happens always, too.
The worst thing is, like, there's quite a lot of pizza delivery people in our town.
But this one was like an attractive young girl, you know?
like
so she
she drops off the pizza
and says enjoy
and I say you too
I've done that before
not even closing the door
just like standing there like wait
what the fuck have I just said
and it's just you got to move on
yeah
because you do it as well
in restaurants
what you say like
you're just on autopilot
yeah
no I try to
not say you too anymore
you know
unless it's for what's your favorite band
no I've done that so many times
so it's just like everyone
everyone everyone says you too
I don't believe there's a single adult
who's not said it never done that yeah
well it's it's just annoying because
well no I I've
I've worked like waiting jobs and shit
mm-hmm never have
I ever had that
when I've said like enjoy
your food and shit. Never has anyone
said you too. It's because it's only
in pizza deliveries. It's specifically
that area where I think people
slip up. I do associate that
most with pizza deliveries. Yeah
well not necessarily just pizza
just deliveries. It's a very
It's an inherently awkward thing
because the stranger has just come to your house
and is giving you food. At your door
at your own door that's really weird.
It would be hands on drone soon enough
guys, don't worry.
Yeah, Amazon
Domino's Drones.
The Domino's Dron.
It's so weird.
Just take it.
See, as someone
who's quite awkward, because
I am, unfortunately,
it's like, that's what I do every day.
And I never intend to.
It's just like,
oopsie.
You tell people to enjoy every day?
No, he tells
them to you too every day.
They listen to you too every day.
No, but think when you work in an office,
it's just like in this Friday it's like you're saying goodbye to your team and it's just like
oh have a good weekend oh you too that's like the talk you do everyone does that so I use that
a lot and it's just when I get my piece it's like oh you too you could have saved it by
quickly whipping out a slice and going oh yeah oh thanks though but if I was if I was
just being serious like the most embarrassing thing I do is trip up my big fucking
anchor feet my big anchor feet my land anchor feet and it's like curbs i always slide off to hurt curbs
onto the road and i just trip up things a lot that's my embarrassing thing yeah i bang my head a lot
i bang my head and i'm i'm a pretty bad driver as well so that's kind of embarrassing
i know that you keep bang you keep crashing into things and it keeps denting your car yeah
um deladry has one in an old episode someone asked you guys if you were ever going to get a GoPro and put it on argi for an episode or first person called the episode
other than james making a grisly comment about his own mortality the bigger takeaway was that crackhead alex actually answered properly saying he was interested in getting one but the price was an issue so since we've had a solo alex episode an upside down episode and many more is the argi p ovi episode ever going to have to be able to have to be able to have one but the price was an issue so since we've had a solo alex episode an upside down episode and many more is the argi pov episode ever going to have to have a
happen. For those of you that are curious, James's comment was something along the lines of
Alex, if you guys get a GoPro, can I use it while using my motorbike? Because if some idiot
hits me and I die, you guys in my family can sue them. This is not the exact quote, but it
captures the essence of it. No, but that is actually scary. I remember him saying that. That's
accurate because it's like, that's evidence. Every bike has a camera for a reason. And I didn't
at the time. So it's like, yeah, that makes sense.
no but an argue
an argue episode would be terrible
because he's not here anymore
no he's over there
what do you mean
listen he's not here
he's not here in this room is out of something
yeah you really
worded that poorly
he's argued doesn't go in this
jar room anymore
because we try to kick him out
no but he fucking stinks so much
we try not the heaven in the world
we have you in the
okay I'm gone
He came in it.
I found him in here the other day on this sofa.
Really?
Yeah.
When I was looking after him, he liked the Lego room.
He'd lie upside down on his back in the Lego room.
He likes everywhere he's not supposed to be.
No, if he want to do...
If you want to do a good GoPro app, we just fit them to my own heads.
No, but then it's like...
Funny.
No, because you could have a normal cast, but then in the bottom,
a square of agi.
No, but that wouldn't be funny
Because he wouldn't be in the womb
Well, you could
He'd just be in your house
No, but that would be extra funny
He'd like come in and then go out
And just go exploring
No, but then
But then the worst thing would happen
Is he would just get the hunger
And it'll be a summer night
And he goes into the garden
And there's just a little come of him
Just like him
It's like being off his shit
Um
Again there with the price
They're still stupidly expensive
Go pro um
The new GoPro's are like
$300
400 pound. Is that it?
Yeah, which is quite a lot.
Are they good? Yes. The new
Gopos are fucking... I was reminded of them
the other day because I was watching some brave wilderness
on YouTube and he's always got a little GoPro
there for the close-up shot
on his hand.
Poor man.
You're not poor, don't say that.
I want a GoPro.
He's been dealt of...
No, I...
If you're going to the effort of getting like tweezers and
holding bugs to your arm and having them sting you,
I don't feel sympathy
He's he's on the grind though
He's doing oh I respect it
Yeah
But it's not like I'm not like
Oh is that really hurt
It's like
Oh good it hurts because we're learning from this
Oh Alex that's some fucking deep shit boy
People are gonna deconstruct your psyche now
No you can
Learn a lot from your character
From that philosophy you just dropped
what the um
the brave wilderness thing
philosophy it's like the respect
I have for that guy that's just like you know
I'm going to make my whole thing I'm just going to
become impervious
to snakes so I'm just going to
go out get bitten by snakes again and again
until I literally die
no until I have such a tolerance
where my blood can be
harnessed to
that is amazing actually
yeah
it's actually no but how fucking
painful most of the first few
fucking ten years of just horrible
snake bites and poison
how horrible
was that I've been? Snakes are scary
snakes are fucking cute
top five scariest animals
snakes are so cute
I love snakes yeah I agree
let's do a couple more here
George is not okay
can do a penitimate one
any go to star to cars
James, I assume has some suggestions
I take Pouch's word is gospel
for cars because I don't know shit about them
so I'll deeply consider any suggestion
Well, if you're in the UK
All the ideas that people will give you
are not right
Because if you're young and you're buying pissers
The insurance on pissers are so high
For 17 year old
Because they're the cars every 17 year old buys
Not my pisser
So what you want is you want
Go, go out, look at the car's old people drive, because they will be cheaper.
My pisser is an old person car.
When I was 17, I got a crow on a, a turbocharged Volvo barge that was brown.
That was £600, £17, the pisa, we were talking about $2,500.
For the pissa?
Because so many young kids are buying those cars, because they're,
are cheap to buy, that they crash them.
Premiums go up.
My sister's £100 citron sacks or £2,000 on insurance.
12 times a year she would write it off completely.
By their fucking calculations.
A hundred pound car.
Buy old cars, buy things that granny's own.
Yeah, pissers.
My pisser.
No, your pisser is...
Here's the life hack when it comes to insurance.
If it's a car that is cheap...
as fuck, therefore expendable.
When you get insurance, just put the excess up higher than the price of the car.
That means if you were to crash your car,
you won't get any money from the insurance company.
I don't, that's not how it works.
No, the excess...
If you cause an accident, someone's claiming off your insurance,
you've still got a claim on your insurance because you've caused the crash.
No, you claim for theirs, but at this point,
Point, the price of your car isn't an issue.
I don't think it exactly works like that.
No, it, you can't.
It's just how I got my insurance so damn cheap.
You can't do, you can't cause a crash.
I just crank the excess up to like max.
That's not a good idea.
That's not fucking good idea, Jamie.
No, the excess isn't that high.
Like, I could afford it.
No, but you can't, if you get into a crash and you caused it,
you can't just not claim on your insurance.
you caused it
no then then you just
fucking run
okay and why just drive off
well that's when you
you keep a um
like a screwdriver in the car
to get your license plates off
you pop the license place off
fucking book it
no you don't even need that
some of them are stuck on
you can just walk off
and pull it off
I can prove this if you want me to
I can go up to some guy's car
and just pull the number plate off
you could do like a magnet license plate
and just have like replacement numbers
No, you need the street drift, the street racer technique.
You have your license plate on a hinge.
So when you want to do illegal things, just hinge up.
No, you can see it.
Do that.
But, yeah, if you want to, when you get in your first car, look around and go for things you
wouldn't think of and do loads of crows.
The worst thing about getting a car is the amount of time you have to spend getting insurance
quotes.
And I would say, just go for cars that you wouldn't think would be cheap.
They'd be cheap.
My 2-liter
Mazda was like £800
Because old people drive them
Get a Mazda-free
Get a Mazda-free in blue
Put a really loud exhaust on it
And make everyone hate you
That was your first year to do, right?
James, surely if you got into a crash
And it was your fault
Surely the modifications
That you don't tell the insurance company
Which cause issue with
your insurance
you might as well crank that excess up
pay less insurance
any crash on my car
no matter how small
we instantly wipe all of the car
off that's how well
yeah that's my philosophy
it's like if I get a bumper
if I crashed into my mum's car
two days ago
that that would have woke my car off
that accident would have wote my car off
because it's that that's insurance companies
are fucking scam artists
oh yeah
this is why it's bullshit
that you have to have insurance
well because they're scam matters
yeah because they're all scammers
I've worked in the industry
I was repairing these cars
they will go look at a car
that's got a fucking broken bump
and they'll be like
two and a half grand to fix
it's fucking 50 quid to fix
it's a bit of fucking pain
is a bump hanging off
it's scam
don't ever take anything
insurance companies say as truth
go to any local garage
you'd be like
give me a quote on that
and they'll be like, oh, it'll be like, 600 pounds.
It's like, 2,500 pounds, 600 pounds.
They're fucking scam artists.
Fucking hate insurance companies.
But in the day, if you get hit by someone who hasn't gotten no insurance and they drive off,
you're still, you're fucked either way.
Well, yeah, so crank that excess up and make it rain, baby.
It's like, don't buy cars so cheap that even if you crash them, just abandon them.
Just get out of them.
I'm going to leave them.
Get another one.
Yeah.
There was that story about that guy that did that
instead of like getting a flight.
Didn't he just bought like a Pissot
and just drove across the country and just like drove up a cliff or something.
No,
there's something incredibly,
it's really becoming appealing now
of like really shit cars,
cheap cars that I can just pick up for a couple hundred quid.
I want one.
Because my car's so,
I've ruined it to such a level,
but I don't like driving it because it's so specific.
Okay.
insured on mine then?
Use it Monday to Friday.
Then I've got to drive the pizza
if it's clutch, they're going...
No, the squeaking stop.
Now the clutch
just catches, so you can't get out of first gear.
But your car is not going to
live long. Yes, it is.
You're going up there when it's like,
no, la, la, nah. No, it's not.
It's the opposite. It's like...
Oh, it's so... You're in such a high gear
that it's like, dun, dun, dun, dun.
Yeah.
I'm in like gear 5 going 20 off a hill
No but the thing of the pissers
I'm slowly deconstructing it
Over time I just take parts off of it
Reducing the weight so I can go up hills
In a higher gate
That doesn't work because I leave all the bits in the back
So the weight is still there
And oh my God we haven't spoken
That the pisser keeps getting vandalised
Yeah no because
Because it's the pisa
It looks a bit shit
We took off one, what they called, like the badge on the back.
We took off every badge, but toy.
The back, it just says the toy.
And since then, people have seen that it's a bit of a fun time to fuck with a car.
People have generally keyed the pisser.
They've actually keyed it.
I don't crash my car, but fucking dance are showing up on this thing.
People are just walking by it punching it.
kicking it like i swear i swear one of your wheel caps has disappeared as well someone's just
yeah they used to only be one missing but now there's two missing
man people see the pisser and they're just like damn fuck this shit's pissing me off
it's like one of those um stress balls people just see yeah yeah just gotta fucking attack this
yeah i'm increasing world peace with uh driving the pisser to swind in and chipping him
it's i mean it's really likely now that i might get myself a pisser a we will
drive pisser.
Oh shit.
And I'm going to
paint it pink of bright green
wills.
Right, I send on this one
from a real big dog too.
Hello Mingers, a long time Jaffan here
and I just want to say thank you for all the health tips
such as working out more.
Just to stay happier.
And the cold showers, which might be the best thing
since I started gooning.
One thing I'm working on now is trying to fix
my posture because I realize I've been
hunching for years and I want to avoid
back problems in the future.
So I want to know if you boys have any tips
that might help me out along the way.
Thank you for all the laughs and smiles, gooners,
keep up the great work.
I am...
If there's...
Okay, we have a brain, right?
So we have a brain,
and there's certain things in life
that take up a percentage of our brain
during our day-to-day activities.
Posture takes up about 30 to 40% of my brain.
at any given time.
Posture is the only thing
I'm consistently thinking about
because I was a hunchback in school.
I had fucking atrocious posture
and it was only when I saw video of myself
and it was like...
Really? I never associated that with you.
It was... It fucking disgusted me
to such an extent
that I didn't even want to look myself in the mirror anymore.
I fucking despised every single thing
about my life because...
How old will be around this time?
So it's like year fucking 11.
Okay.
I fucking despised it.
It ruined myself.
Well, it's always been on my mind because I've, it's always been on your mind.
So just through osmosis, I've been like, I should probably care about my posture.
Even now, like, I don't think I have good posture.
But I always, I'm always focused on shoulders back, stand straight, back straight.
You need that little bit of curve.
And it's the one...
What do you mean you need that little bit of curve?
I think you want a straight back.
Your spine, Kurt.
Your spine's not like that.
Your spine makes an S.
Oh, okay.
I see what I see what I'm saying.
You want your shoulders and that area
to be a bit of back then you're...
Not like the, uh, Trump center.
His spine is a Z.
I think the times that posh, like,
when you're walking,
you can normally have quite a good posture
naturally because it makes sense
when you're walking.
The times you need to worry about posture
is when you're sitting,
driving, gaming.
Gaming.
They're the three.
As in sitting by sitting,
I mean at an office if you're working, you know,
not being less.
What about sitting watching Evangelion?
Because you've noticed this
and I've pointed this out to you
how people drive.
Seat belt there, chest in place.
Where's the head?
There.
The head is not here
against the head west.
It's here.
you watch it go out
every single person
in a car does it nobody's driving a car
has good posture because it's naturally
you are just like that
I do it all the time
the thing is you've got to be safe
as well and you do need to lean forward
a T-junction
yeah I have this problem
should I do
not if you're a like
if you're a drug dealer driver
oh yeah you sit so far back
Yeah, but that's also bad for your neck, because you're looking, like, straight down.
Yeah, like low rider.
Yeah, like low rider.
It's like you...
Like flow rider.
And obviously, with gaming and being at a desk playing, you're always going to be like,
fuck, I've almost got this OPEC's win, and you're always going to be like...
No, it's much worse, um, you guys have it easy using controllers.
Yeah, because you can sit back.
You can, like, sit back and...
That's one of the reasons I don't use a mouse.
that's why I have my
I have my seat really low
I have it tilted really far back
and I'm like this
you know
no I do know and it's like especially in an office
because in an office you're going to be sitting at a desk
eight hours a day
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
fucker poo boy
No, not you. No, not you.
No, you leave.
No, but like, when you, when you're in an office and you're sitting at a desk
eight hours a day, your posture is going to go, you're going to lose, you're going to
get bad posture.
You won't be able to help it because you're doing a mind-numbing office job for a capitalist
company and your posture is.
being sacrificed to the overlords,
you're going to get bad posture.
And so it's vital that when you're not at your desk,
that you need to pop a straight and back
and focus on your posture.
Now, one of the best things for posture is exercise...
Yeah.
With good posture.
Yeah.
Watch YouTube videos.
Talks.
Dogs
Walking dogs
Really good for your posture
Well yeah actually like
Moving around
Oh like moving yeah
Really good
Yeah
And if all else fails
Just like buy a bunch of belts
Strap them
Yeah
And that's a beltman one
For free
And I would actually say
In terms of posture
Never lower your car
Your car has to be higher
Because if it's low up
You have to stand in the most dodgy
positions to do anything.
I've, I'm a gymnast
with the amount of positions I have to do to do basic
things.
What are you talking about? I can do the splits
because I have to
because, no, you can't do the splits but I can bend
my legs pretty wide
because it's the only way I can work on my
engine because I, if you bend
over like that, you're fucking destroying
your back. So I, I
stand like that.
I got staring my legs as wide as part
to lower my body to then be able
to lean over with good posture.
I only kneel.
Yeah, get one of those.
This is where I told you.
The squat,
it's got nothing to do with Russia.
Got to do with sick drift cars, fam.
You squat.
James's talking about it.
No, squatting is a Japanese thing.
I went to get coffee with James
on the weekend, last weekend.
And James squatted.
James squats a lot.
I do.
James squatted.
That's true, actually.
Yeah, James squatted, and I was like, you look like a slav or a Ruski or whatever.
And he was like, no, absolutely not.
You know, Russians didn't even invent squatting.
Japan invented squatting when they were working on their drift cars.
I say this, because I've seen older pictures from Japanese street racers squatting
than I've ever seen any Russian squat.
It's like the first record is squat.
Because when you've got a street car, a drift car, a canjo car, whatever, they're low to the floor.
So when you're by the side of the road having a cold coffee of your boys.
You're this.
You're not standing up like little cut boys.
You're fucking...
You lad.
You can't say the C word, James.
We've banned the C word.
You're sitting like this.
You're squatting because it makes sense.
Because you also...
And working on cars, right?
Working on cars...
You don't know.
I've got to be down low.
Because my car's fucking low.
And it's like, it's the only thing that makes sense.
Unless you get something that raises the car.
Do you think up at all we, Alex?
Um, speaking of the streets.
Um, do you guys remember street sharks?
Street sharks?
What street sharks?
It was like a TMNT, like, rip-off, but they were sharks.
Oh.
Do you remember that on the playground?
On the playground?
Street sharks?
Street Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Street Sharks?
No, well they weren't like
actually linked. It was like a rip-off.
Yeah, but...
Because the ninja turtles were like banned here or something.
Well, they were called like the hero turtles here.
Yeah, because ninja was too, like, aggressive.
Ninja was too far.
Yeah, yeah.
No, but it's too sensitive an issue in the...
yeah the real ninja problem we've got um street sharks what what's their thing what's their
story's mutated sharks it just like came out of the butt or whatever what did they do they live in
the sewers bro i'm telling you they're just the ninja turtles but they're sharks would you ever
eat pizza in a sewer if it was the 99 cheese special from pizza uh maybe the 99 cheese special from pizza the
pizza?
Would you eat, would you eat a 99 cheese pizza in the sewer with Johnny
Knoxville?
You're telling me you don't remember that?
No.
What is it?
A comic? It was like a show or something.
It was like a toy.
I remember the toys.
They're way more aggressive than the hero turtles.
Well, yeah, because they're sharks.
Turtles are like innocuous animals that look nice.
Yeah, yeah.
No, Teenage Muti Ninja Turtles do.
not look nice.
No, I'm saying a turtle before it's mutated
into a teenage mutant ninja one.
I think if you try and
make a humanoid turtle,
that thing's going to be creepy.
Especially when it's in a Michael Bay produced
movie. Yeah, god yeah.
John's voiced by Johnny Knoxville.
Yeah, eating cheese
pizza in the sewers.
That's like a...
You couldn't...
You couldn't live like that.
You couldn't live like a team.
Really?
You couldn't live like an Ninja Turtle.
No, not with the combat and everything.
I don't mean in terms of like
what they do with their time,
fighting crime and
on the grind.
I'm going to take the opposite stance and say, I think
the way they live is actually pretty
reasonable and
achievable. It's just the sewer bit.
I think if you lived in the sewer.
They don't actually live in the filth of the sewer,
though. They've got like, they just have such
understanding of the network
underground that they've got a base that they just now
to get to really efficiently. Yeah but this base
is still in the sewer
and that place is... The turtles, they can't smell.
Turtles can't smell?
Right, let's find it.
Let's find out. James, can turtles smell?
See?
What do you mean?
Okay, nah.
They have little nose holes.
Can turtle? No, that's a sense in leaves.
Smell.
Tertles smell.
well. Both on land and underwater. They don't have nostrils. What? They have bumps under their
chins. These bumps called barbells. We need to buy a barbell for the gym. Have nerves that
allow them to pick up scents. Sense is in S-C-E-N-T-S. So that's correct this whole time. Yet
again. They can smell. They smell with their chins. Yeah, with their barbell.
If a turtle
If a turtle doesn't have nostrils
What are those two things on its nose
Can you unsave that and send it to me
Because that's the thumbnail
Yeah
Well
Thanks for tuning into this barbell
Special
The barbell smell
The barbell turtle smell
