Am I supposed to be peaceful on this one or something?
Oh yeah, this is the people, peaceful class.
Yeah, PG, peaceful guys.
You know, the PG, you know.
This is the section of each peaceful episode where we just meditate for five minutes in silence.
Um, um, bugga.
Did you know, oming is apparently actually like really healthy?
yeah for whatever reason
have you never tried it
it's like a cat perring
you know cats per to like massage themselves
really yeah like heals them
it heals their achy muscles
yeah they're going like
so they're meditating
they're going like while they go
yeah
but I think humans do that as well we do it in different ways
like for a lot of people meditation
is watching the 15th episode
of the 27th season of a
reality TV show
Hmm
What one please
For the
For the 7,967th day in a
Whoa
That's the end of some people's meditation
Is watching shit
Uh, oh what
What wrong?
He said the S word
I said the S word
Not again
off to a great start
um start again good afternoon morning evening
on night ladies and gentlemen
I'm working to this episode of the PG tips
if you had to suddenly reboot the cast
with a new intro like right now
like what would it be
um I'd have a crusty the clown laugh
might be like Rocky Roo
and then do like a rocket sound effect
yeah with like a 3D spinning
intro thing I wouldn't
I would I'd keep the jarge
jingle and that's it
then it's just
into the episode
but you don't
even like
introduce anything
you're just like
the jar jingle
is the intro
so as soon as you hear
that you know
it's starting
then you just start
tut tut
da-na-na-na-na-n-n-
yeah
I specifically
like the
tut-tut-tut
yeah
before the
yeah yeah
yeah just the
tut-tut-tut-tut
yeah
old jar
that would be
the name of the
episode
tut-tut-tut-tut-tut
yeah
James after things are allowed
Yeah things have changed
Things have changed around here
They're saying we can't call things
Tutt tut tut
No
Tutt
Tutt
We call them
Really
Things that YouTube like
You know things that
It's going to pop up in that algorithm
For all their viewers in
Homeless guy prank
Yeah
No bro they don't do that anymore
What is it now
It's um
Homed guy prank
No, it's more like spending
7,000 pounds of bank money
on loot boxes in Apex.
That's what it.
How to win in the NFT market.
How to make free money with NFTs?
Buy an NFT and they'll pay you for just owning an NFT.
You realize that is true.
This is not a pyramid scheme at all.
I was, I, look, I delved into the NFT market and I bought a pup.
No, I genuinely bought a pub because,
it has like, you've got an army of pups over here, bro.
Yeah, you must be raking in the like equivalent
dividend things. You get so much, um,
Assyrium. You just get paid out.
Yeah, you get popcorns. Yeah, you get popcorns and maybe you might get a
dogger coin eventually.
My pup gets
Goon coin.
No, I get Assyrium.
I'm loaded with Assyrium.
When I exchange that stuff for actual legal tender,
I'm going to be rolling in the slash.
In the Assyrium.
Yeah, I'm going to be drenched in Assyrium, left them right.
Yeah.
I've launched an NFT myself recently, and I didn't actually tell any of you, but it's called the Vizini Collection.
And it's Vizini coins.
So that's an NFT collection you can invest into, and if you want money,
if you buy one of my Vizini collections, NFTs, I'll pay you.
Just hold on to them for me and you'll just make money.
Yeah.
I've even got, um, Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is even holding one of my Vizini collection NFTs.
If he's doing it, you should do it too.
The Vise of the Vazini collection.
We got some stuff to address, guys, in the housekeeping segment where we round off some of the conversations from the previous episode.
You know what?
I'm going to say it, maybe we should stop leaving the house dirty.
Maybe for once we should just make it clean.
Yeah, I'm desperately trying week after week, but the pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
It's maintenance, man.
It's just, it's what happens when you're in a property.
But especially with what happened last episode where we ate some regret, which is a 12 million Scoville cello.
Which left us reeling for the first 10, 50 minutes of the episode or so.
there was some interesting comments left
in regard to this whole side of that episode
much like
Gregory Davidson who said I listened to the audio
only version of this and I genuinely
thought they were doing heroin for the first 10 minutes
as did Max who said put this on in the background
and assume you guys were gooning for the first 10 minutes
Well we actually
If you think about it we were
I think that is
We were actually in a way
A goon trans.
Yeah.
Bathtop, Tom, said,
after the Milky Regret episode, I was thinking,
what do you guys' thoughts on spicy sweets?
Also, on the same topic,
have you ever heard of the 9 million Scoville gummy bear?
And what would it take for you guys to try it?
Well, we tried regret.
I think a 9 mil gummy bear seems like...
I'd happily have the 9 million Scoville gummy.
The thing with the 9 mil gummy bear
is that you'd have to chew it.
Yeah?
Yeah, I don't think that'll be a...
That would make it 10 times worse.
I disagree.
No, because when you chew, especially something gummy,
you're sort of sloshing it around your mouth.
But I saw another comment point out our milk tactic was wrong.
You're supposed to hold it in your mouth
and that counteracts the spice instead of like drinking it.
No, but that's what you do.
You put it in your mouth, but then like the milk that's in your mouth
absorbs the spice and then it expires.
Then you've got to swallow it and put more on your mouth.
I didn't do the milk tactic
So I generally say that if you're going to eat spice
Just don't use milk
Just have water
Because I think that worked better for me
Because we should admit
Like what was our
How are we feeling after that episode
What did we
It took a few days for me to recover
On the not in my mouth
Like the spiciness
But just all my insides weren't very happy
See because after the episode
I maybe had some stomach cramps
When I was trying to sleep
Like I felt ill
I felt a bit off
And it was just pain
And it was just
Discomfort
But as soon as I woke up
The next day
I was pretty much fine
And I don't regret
At all
I would happily do it again
Right now
Really?
Yeah
Go on then
Yeah go on
Yeah go on
You get some regret then
There were a couple
Other comments
That went more down
The lines of
Making fun of us
Because of where we live
Um
Associate Winter said this
They're British.
They even said they don't like to season their meat.
They all have terrible food takes.
I saw this on Reddit.
When did we ever...
You said we don't season on meat.
I think you said that as a joke.
As like a...
Because I know that's like the default joke where like British people don't use seasoning.
But I don't remember any of us ever mentioning that we don't season stuff.
Yeah, because the only context where any of us would say that, it would be a joke.
Yeah, because English people don't season the meat.
well anything yeah and it's like the whole joke that like english people think a medium
at nandoes is spicy because i don't know we i'm gonna branch this into a different subject now
because i generally believe that english people british people don't understand quality of food
to a certain level like anything that's got flavor it's like when a british person goes
abroad and they want they they order a breakfast it's like they just expect a british breakfast
You know, they go to any Mediterranean country, and it's like, oh, the food was shit,
simply because it wasn't a British breakfast.
It wasn't like a thing you'd find in a Weatherspoons.
Just a generic British breakfast.
Because you go, you can go to the best places, but if there's a greggs on that corner,
every single man and woman is going to that greggs for their sausage rolls and their coffee.
Because I generally believe people can disagree with me now that British people,
don't have taste. Things can't be too flavorful. That's bad. Flavors bad. No flavor good.
Greg's good. Reverspoons good. Sushi? Mexican food? Bad flavor. That's I believe that's the
English view of you with food. What do you think, Jim? Um, I, uh,
no like McDonald's full of flavors
like pickles that's quite a strong flavor
that's American takeout though in it
what are they ordering
what are they and that's not true
because more people go for McDonald's breakfast
than McDonald's a normal baker of food
and what is McDonald's breakfast
sausage and egg
in muffin
and do American McDonald's have the same
stuff we do? I have no idea
But what is the most popular thing on the McDonald's menu?
It's a good question.
It's like a chicken legend, a chicken legend, a Big Mac.
It's nothing with flavor.
Yeah.
But is that a British thing?
I believe it's a British thing because my parents will always be the example for this
because they go to McDonald's, it's just like, chicken nuggets.
Nothing else.
There's nothing of flavor.
There's nothing new.
Chicken nuggets.
The tangy sauce or something?
No.
Like ketchup.
no no they didn't try to even go experiment with the sauces it's just ketchup chicken nuggets
ketchup beef steak yummy yummy well yeah because I saw uh on the same lines Carlos Guerrero left a
comment saying you know it's even spicier for them because they're British and are feeding
into the same mm not true though but it kind of is true though because we're always complaining
about things that are advertised or labelled as being spicy are weak they're not
Yeah, no, I mean, it's true in terms of Britain, but not true in terms of us.
No, I think there's a, the difference here is that if I didn't know you guys, I would be
British man, generic British man, because my parents are just generic British family.
All the food they eat, everything we have in our house is the most generic, like, flavourless
shit, junk that you can possibly get.
And it's like, it's because I know you guys that you've influenced me to actually like
flavor and to try spice and i think that's be and i think that's a cultural thing with your
family specifically but we're british yeah we're culturally british you you don't you're not
hundred percent british you've got that uh you've got that spice in your bloodline
so that makes you enjoy the spice in your food we have spice literally pumping through our
veins yeah literally and i think that that's the difference because i i i i
English people are bad with food.
Yeah, but British cuisine is the best cuisine.
Because we make everyone else's food better.
Yeah.
We just do everyone else's food really well.
Mm-hmm.
Not our own.
Yeah, we do better American food than Americans,
better Mexican food than Mexicans,
better Indian food than Indian.
Better Australian food than Australian.
Yeah.
Back to the point, though, we actually tried a Gregs today.
Yeah.
Yeah, because we made this promise like months ago.
How long ago was it?
It was like for two months ago, minimum two months ago.
Yeah, if not longer.
Yeah.
That we said, we're going to try Gregs.
And as soon as that episode ended, I was like, let's go get Gregs.
And I think both you are like, no.
I don't actually want to.
Well, yeah, because it's not a thing where, like, we're living in, like, city center or somewhere,
and it's, like, two-minute walk away.
Then I probably would have had one by now.
We have to, like, where we are, you have to make a conscious decision.
The same conscious decision where you could, in the same amount of time,
go to somewhere else so it just never makes what somewhere good yeah yeah but that was the
argument that people were putting forward but they're like they're rushing to work in the morning
they just want a coffee a cheap coffee sausage roll or something and how does and how does it
work for that should should say that we didn't actually go to greggs with the intention of going
to greggs we actually went to starbucks there and it was it lined up so we gave it try
First order, I got a good old sausage roll and I got a cappuccino.
And the cappuccino is absolutely disgusting.
It's worse than piss.
Piss actually tastes better.
I tried both.
Piss is nicer.
The sausage roll, incredible.
I think the sausage rolls from Greg is actually really nice.
Yeah.
The pastry's light.
It's nice and it's got flavor.
A little bit.
But it's nice.
I don't mind their sausage rolls.
Yeah, I'm going to back you up on the side.
sausage roll thing.
It's like, hey, I eat three
sausage rolls, man.
While we were there, we
got one, we finished it, and then we
went back for seconds, which says
a lot, to be honest.
Part of it was the, like, cheapness thing
that people were saying, you know?
Yeah.
I then went back and I got
a marguerie of pizza
and a chicken bake.
Chicken bake, actually really nice.
Pasture is nice.
Chicken, it's just a nice little snack,
but the pizza was absolutely garbage.
It was basically cardboard with stale cheese on with not enough kept tomato.
Awful.
And it was like £1.60, honestly.
Don't bother.
Part of what made me so curious about this whole thing is,
I can't remember where we originally saw this video.
It's a fucking tech dog, isn't it?
Yes.
This guy like doing, he's like mocking the typical, like, British guy going into a Gregson ordering.
Yeah.
If you type in, it was on jarreddit, wasn't it?
Yeah.
That must have been, yeah.
Yeah, I think that was where we saw it.
So I have a scroll through that and you might find it.
Just go on YouTube and type in Greg's meme and you'll come up as a short.
Yeah, so it's been on my mind like heavy ever since.
I watched it last night and I found it really funny again.
Yeah, every time.
It's just so accurate.
And even when ordering, I was like trying not to do the like arm motions and stuff from that video, whatever.
But yeah, it was, it was fine for like, because the deal is like you grab your sausage roll.
And a coffee for two pound 40.
Not bad.
It's too expensive.
Should be two pound.
It should be two pounds, especially for the cappuccino.
The cappuccino is generally...
Yeah, the coffee isn't good.
The coffee is just like they press a button.
The liquid...
It pours it out.
Liquid falls out into a cup and then they give it to you and it's too hot.
Which, I mean, the temperature is fine because it will cool down.
To be fair, we all actually...
The sausage roll itself, too expensive.
It's something that shouldn't be...
over a pound yeah and I think back when it was like 80p that's that sounds perfect for today
but like it's not it's not different enough from just like any old sausage roll that you can put
in the oven yeah like a yeah I think they they get by on the convenience thing you know
that's what we're saying like the just getting in before work or something like see I this is
I am this person right because well I well well on my
way to work. I drive past a Tesco Express. So if I've not made any lunch, I'm walking in and
I'm buying a mill deal because it's a mill dole. It's generally great. It's a bargain. They're quite
reasonably priced. So you get in there. And the thing is, they have a cost of machine.
And the cost of machine is now included in the mildil. So I am getting that coffee from that
machine. And the cost of machines, not only they better than Costa, they're better than Greg's.
So you're going to spend £2.50 for a sausage roll.
a coffee, a bad coffee.
You can just spend £3.50
and get a sandwich, wrap,
a cheese melt,
and a bar of chocolate, a dubo bar of chocolate
and cost to machine coffee for £3.50.
The quality
to price of Gregg's
is absolutely abysmal
compared to the meal deal.
Because the custom machine coffee is actually pretty good.
Yeah, it is. Like you said,
it's nicer than cost to coffee.
Yeah. Because the milk to coffee ratios
is perfect.
It just is right.
So where's cost to going wrong?
Is it the humans that are serving it?
No, it's not the humans.
That's the only difference.
It's like I said, it's the mug size.
They make every drink to fit in a generic medium mug,
a takeaway cup.
So when you're buying a flat white,
a flat white is a short coffee.
It's not like a cappuccino or a latte,
but they're putting it in a medium cup.
So it's just a filling of milk.
So it's just a milky coffee.
Barely any coffee in it, to be honest.
that's where they're going wrong
and that's why Costa is the worst coffee place
in the UK. If you ever come to
England and you see a
Costa, don't go to Costa, just
find them Costa machine in a shop.
You have a better coffee.
Yeah, we'll just go to any other coffee place.
No, don't go to Starbucks.
No, you can't tell someone, don't go to the UK
and then use a coffee machine in a Tesco.
That's fucked that up.
That's about what else is there in the UK?
True.
Because Starbucks, their coffee,
not that great.
They're Frapuccino, Mapo, caramel, syrup, sloshies.
Great, because they've got so much sugar.
That's what they do well.
Cafe Niro?
Good coffee.
Probably the best chain.
But other than independent places,
you've basically got Costa Machine or Cafe Niro,
whichever's closest, because I'd say they're probably
about as good as each other.
Wow.
Wow. Well, I think, going back to Greg's day, the highly processed nature of it, I think that's what gets people coming back.
Yeah. There's something addictive about that.
It's the pastry. It's like eating something. It's like being a baby bird and eating something that's already been digested.
Yeah, that's probably why I could go back for the again and again.
Yeah. Yeah, when you bite into one of those sausage rolls, it's like, my.
stomach like just doesn't have to work for this it feels like it feels familiar yeah in a really
weird way it's like already when you're eating it it's like halfway poo already it's like almost
there so your body's doing half the work to because we actually got a variety of things because
i got i got i got a chicken baked pizza and the sausage wrong you got a steak a steak slice i got steak
bake and a sausage raw steak bake about the steak baked tasted just like you know you can buy
packeted ones for
a quid from like Tesco.
In a mildil?
Yeah.
And you bung that in the microwave
and it's like identical.
Yeah. Maybe a little bit worse.
It's the same as the chicken slice. It's just that.
It's just a generic chicken slice.
If you want a chicken slice, you think of that flavor.
Not good, not bad. Just chicken slice.
But again, it's like £1.60.
Yeah, not bad.
Because, well, I mean, it's more expensive
than the ones from Tesco. They're like a quid.
So I don't really have the urge
to ever eat food from Gregg's ever again.
Yeah.
I fully get that.
Apart from the processed nature of it.
Yeah.
The sausage roll.
The sausage roll just tastes like,
I don't know,
it just brings me back to when I was a kid.
Yeah.
And you just eat just the worst,
most processed,
nasty stuff.
And you,
you ordered three of them.
You actually ate three of them.
I threw sausage rolls.
I did the,
um,
I guess the no-no.
The British,
that's another British public thing.
Yes.
They have vegan options
But people don't like that
You had both
And what was your view?
I had two vegan sausage rolls
And I had one like normal sausage roll
Just so I could like contrast
Yeah
Which is better
I'm not gonna tell you that
Are you gonna make me go get one?
It's a vegan one
You prefer the vegan one?
No actually
Oh, I've see the thing is I've heard people say the vegan ones better and the the the vocal people who say the meat one's better
They all that that how to put it lightly they're all the type of people to like Piers Morgan
Because there is this like weird
There's like a there's like a materiality type yeah I don't know why it is like here
It's so silly and people like they want it to be
literally one-to-one identical.
Mm.
Like, and anything outside of that is unacceptable.
I mean, to a degree, I understand that, because it's like vegan sausage roll.
Mm-hmm.
It's like, if I'm a vegan, I'm not going to be going to the place known for sausage rolls.
You know?
Yeah.
So I think when they can make, they can just, like, use a pipette in a lab and just make a,
Greg's sausage roll out of
chemicals, then...
But I'm not even a vegan is the thing.
Like, the idea of, like,
a product coming out and then, like, the
concept of it being annoying on the grounds
or something like that is just, like, dumb to me.
Because I find it curious,
like, just the science of it, like, how far
they can push it. And, like, when the Beyond Burger
came out, like, just how with each
year, like, the technology and all this seems
to be improved. Yeah, yeah. And how they'd, like,
there's going to be, like, blood dripping out of
yeah so I think on the novelty side of it's interesting to me
and also when you're talking about a product like a sausage roll
where it's not like a slab of meat it's not like a steak
where you're like looking at it's like the meatiest thing
you can see basically where the blood was pumping through
you can see the muscle you can see the sinew you can see all of it
whereas with the middle of a sausage roll what the fuck is going on
it's just grey mass what is it
it's just sausage sausage is just like guns
the left over gun
I can bite into the vegan one and be like
I'm sure there's some like weird stuff in this
but you know at least it's not
what's everywhere in that other tube
yeah
because it's going to be like ground up
mushroom
yeah
it's going to be weird
vegetables or whatever
whereas like
knowing that
a sausage used to be
like alive
you know like how did it go from this pig
like a funny
a funny chubby pig that makes
cute noises and
eats everything
it went from that to this grey
tube
like paste
it's really bizarre
I think the addictive part of the
sausage roll is not the meat
it is the pastry
yeah it's 100% the pack
if you take out a slob of grey matter
and you eat it
nasty nobody wants to eat it
it's disgusting
but when it goes in that
roll
in the wall
it's just
really nice
but it
sausage rolls
that must be like
a really British thing
yes
outside of like
the UK's like obsessed
over sausage rolls like us
nobody is
nobody wants to be a sausage
please let us know
like if you're outside of the UK
let us know how
just insane and deranged
like
if you even know
even know what a Greg's is
because I'm sure like
some of you people are like
people on the internet
would know
because Grace is a laughing story
for anyone outside of the UK.
But then why would the Gregs like memes be in your like algorithm if you're not like a Brit?
You know?
No, because it's like people find, it's like Twitter, right?
People be like, oh, look at the English people at Gregs again.
You know, it's like a laughing.
You mock England and Greggs.
And rightfully so, rightfully so, we definitely need to be mocked for it because it's not nice.
It's not good.
Yeah, England was.
they were getting away with it for too long
you know
yeah England needed it
it's come up and yeah
needed to be brought down a peg or two you know
yeah like when you look at
like the
legacy of
the United Kingdom
like all of that
horrendous stuff
that was done in the name of this country
and where's it landed us
at Gregg's
That's what it was all for
But what do you think they're like
Their timer is of like
The average of sausage rolls sold like a minute
We this like across the country
Yeah
Yeah
This has come to attention because when we first went in there
There was like maybe 10 sausage rolls
There was a fair few stat yeah
It was like a whole tray
And when we went in like 10
minutes later, gone.
All of the sausage rolls was sold
out. The vegan ones,
not even touched, still there.
Normal sausage rolls, gone.
Instantly, they put a whole new tray there
of like 20 plus sausage rolls.
And they would have been gone within
10 minutes of that.
Millions. That's like 20 sausage
rolls every 10 minutes
in the
quiet one, just out
like in the middle of nowhere.
Yeah, by a hotel.
Yeah.
Now, imagine one in like central London.
Yeah.
And how many are there in London?
Thousands.
Yeah.
Millions of rolls a minute.
Yeah.
Now, I'd say a million a day easy.
That's on a light day.
That's on like a Sunday.
Million a day, Sunday easy, no problem.
And that's, that's one pound of sausage, what?
One pound five of sausage roll times that by a million a day.
No, but aren't there, um, their profit margins like minimal?
surely they're working on like 3% or something
yeah something like greggs
yeah because it's so cheap and they're buying
they're making
but surely like they're not going to be using
premium pig for their sausages
are there it's going to be just trash
but you know why I also think greggs is popular
because it's a name
a proper lad can get behind
Gregs
what it's a Greg is like the most
English name Greg Greg
Greg
call your
calling your restaurant
or, you know, food beverage place, a name, just an English name, means you'll be successful.
Harry Ramsden.
No, no, it's just the first name.
Call it Howies.
Everyone knows the Howies.
No, but Harry Ramston, that's like the famous fish and chip.
We've got Prince Harry as well, right?
Yeah, Harry Ramston, Prince Harry.
Prince Harry, fish and chip shop, mate.
This is the thing, this is where it goes deeper, because I think if you name, if you have an exotic name for your restaurant,
It's instantly going to be less successful because even to the English man,
something that sounds exotic must be exotic, so you can't eat there.
Change Greg's to like an exotic name.
It will bankrupt really quickly because it's not an English name.
I think the English mentality and nationalism goes deeper than just the food.
It's the name.
It has to sound British to be in Britain.
I googled how many sausage rolls do Greg's cell?
There's no mistaking that Greg's logo and no...
No arguing with the success of the company that sells 50,000 donuts an hour
and produces 2.5 million sausage rolls a week.
2.5 million?
Yeah.
A week.
A week.
Okay.
That's not quite a question.
What?
52 weeks in a year.
All right.
But that is much less than a million a day.
Yeah.
But that's still a lot, mind.
Yeah, 2.5 million sausage rolls is incredible.
A week?
A week, yeah.
Yeah, that's absurd.
I question how Britain doesn't have as much of an obesity problem as America.
I mean, we pretty much do.
The difference is marginal at this point.
Yeah, basically.
We're there.
We're just turning into Little America.
Yeah.
No, every time we go to the supermarket and they're gradually introducing the big mega, like,
packs of things now yeah yeah but also the recently the government's um trying to clap back
against obesity how what would the show of taxes no um did you notice like in greggs there were
signs on all the food oh yeah no i pointed the cell and it says that an average adult
needs 2 000 calories a day so it's like it's okay to eat the entire box of donuts because you're
meeting your calories then that is generally what they're trying to do well I mean
I thought for some reason I think this is they think this is gonna make people just be like oh
I don't need to eat more no I don't believe that no I don't think no no why would you put
that by a box of donuts because you're trying to make people believe that because they need
this much the the 600 calories of the donuts they're eating is okay because they need to have this
much calories that's what they're trying to do is they're trying to make it okay to indulge in
Donuts, indulging
brownies, indulging cookies.
No, no, no, no.
Because this isn't like a Gregg's regime.
This is a countrywide government thing to try and combat obesity.
That doesn't, nobody looks at a sign that says you need 2,000 calories and be like,
Oh, oh, I, like, that's what I see that as like a, they're trying to influence you to eat more.
Because if you were cared about your calories, you'd know how much you need to eat and you'd know what calories of the food you have, you're eating.
Yeah, someone who's uneducated.
on food isn't going to look at that and be like oh yeah thanks government let's sort it then
you know well that's what i mean it's it's like someone who's uneducated looks at like
they'd be like i can't eat the donuts this is why we need to have food stamps and we don't get
to buy our own food we just get given our lot and we got to accept it okay tanky but no i i think
this is the government want to profit off of this because at the end of the
the day there's a great
you haven't noticed what this is leading to
you haven't noticed
the Tories are going to privatise the NHS
so if they make people fatter
they can get more money for the surgery
they need when the healthcare system is privatised
why
would putting calories make people
fatter? No because if they're
saying they need 2000 they'll happily buy the
box of donuts that
because it's everywhere
so they see that a box of
donuts is 600 calories then they go
to Costa and see that their coffee is like 6,000 calories.
But the calories have been around forever.
When was the last time you saw something not have the calorie counter on?
It's not a new thing.
No, it is a new thing.
Because now in stores like that, like in Greggs, before there weren't calories on
sausage rolls.
That stuff didn't exist.
It's been around a while, but.
No, it hasn't.
It hasn't.
It hasn't.
Look it up.
Oh, is that why I'm like, like on the Starbucks drinks and shit?
It was, I swear it was way more obscured.
Yeah, it used to be.
But it's been, it's been, no, this, we're talking like two, three, four plus years ago now.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Look it up.
Wrong.
It's, it's, it's.
Do you actually think that the toy government has our health in their best interest?
When they want to privatise the NHS, because they have stocks in medical companies and they can make money off the people being unhealthy.
But they make money off of people's hard work.
How can people be hard at work?
when they're obese and dying too early.
They want to milk us for everything we're worth.
They want us to retire at the age of after we're dead.
I don't think they want us...
How are we going to live that long
so they can milk us for as much money as possible
if we get fat and die early?
Yeah, but trying to make people healthier
by increasing the costs of the sugar tax
doesn't make people stop because the food industry has been fucked
has been broken for so long.
why was fat the enemy
when sugar's always been the enemy
they made fat the enemy
it's the same thing of cigarettes like just
just charging more
doesn't help him isn't going to stop
an addict from
being addicted on that
and you hit the nail on the head there
that's that's the true crime
of the food industry is that
we're like just helpless to this
there's addictive chemicals that they figured out
oh a fucking pack of rolloes
actually releases
such an insane amount of endorphins
because of the reward
system that humans have evolved to like yeah we want shit we love sugar yeah because
naturally if a caveman stumbled across like some fucking fruit some sugar it's like
it's like it's invaluable it's like honey and shit energy for your brain it's energy for your
fat reserves it's like invaluable but as soon as companies figure out oh yeah fucking
pringles and that that short the dopamine reward system the four-hour crash of
carbohydrates monetizable
highly monetizable
and here we are
all addicted to sugar
yeah and that's
you can't fix it by saying
look how many calories are in it
it's like no the way to fix it is
to change the infrastructure
of how like shops work
but when you walk into a shop
it's like walking into a
battle pass
no it is because it's the
Tesco my local Tesco is the perfect
example because you walk in
there's the end of the L and on the end of the L
they put their special stuff that's on offer
chocolate big bars of chocolate
two pound when it's usually three pound
and then buying that that means the second you've
stepped in you've re you're weakened
yeah you're weakened it's striking away at your willpower
then you're just trying to walk
it's like the end of metal gas olive four going through
the microwave chamber and snakes just getting
cooked alive and you're like trying to get
to just that's a Maltese snake
yeah and you're like
and then you see the jelly snakes and it's
like nah
my willpower's crushed
I'm getting them
and then once you get
the jelly snakes
that's a snowballing
so just
buying more and more shit
it's designed that way
because they have
the baby stuff first
the small stuff
have not much sugar
then at the end of that
it's like a crispy cream
cabinet
yeah
boom or the
you hit that
like the amount of times
we walk through
Sainsprees
and it's like
oh look at all these
healthy things
but the crispy cream
is in the ice like
yeah it's there
You can never stand in a shop
And not be tempted by something
Like no matter where you look when you're in a shop
Because they've designed it
They strategically place stuff on the end of ours
So that you're always being sucked in by the sugar
Yeah
You're not just sugar
The brain motion starts when you're young
Yeah like cereals
You get you when you're so bad
Sugriest shit around
They've got the mascots, the colours
You know but the thing is they get you
Because it's like you can get toy bar
buying chocolate so you're getting that toy
fun then you're getting that chocolate
Jamie Oliver has been on
this shit for so fucking long and we all thought
he was a pudgy asshole
my man's been preaching
the truth for
longer than I can even remember
because I we know
we know that this is suck enough but we
we fall victim to it
we're walking out there and it's like
because we're addicts
yeah and the towees want to suck that
addict juice out of us they want to goon the money
out of us by our addiction to sugar
so they're just going to keep slapping on tax
after tax on the yummy goods we want
so it makes them money
and when we need to go to hospital and get surgery
to just to save our lives
they've got money in that as well
they're sucking us try
I believe in a
miserable future
that's better for the world
I believe
in a future where you walk into the shop
and all it is is like cans
of grey substance
right
Soil and green
yeah like soil and green
and it's just got everything you need
one can
two times two times a day right
yep
you have a can around midday
between 11 and 1
then you have a can between like
5 and 7
yeah and then you're sorting for the day
yeah that's it and it's full of creatine
yeah then we will have a dream in society
everyone will be
shredded
everyone will breathe cleaner
that's the future I believe
surely what the governments would want
is like you have your food tube
installed to your house
hook yourself up to the food tube
at 9 a.m and 9pm every day
and someone just opens the floodgates
what's coming through the food tube this morning guys
it's just like the tree fucking
yeah and in the future
everyone will have catheters and like nappies
so that
no breaks at work
you get a food tube for work
you go to the food tube station
you work throughout
your food tube throughout work
you're pissing and shitting
while you work you don't get to
clean up until you finish your shift
yeah and you don't at that point
in the food tube is it's going to
have caffeine just constantly
I just thought of another alternative
but in like a sort of utopian type
society where
everyone has sort of
like a catheter bag being carried around by like a drone and the drone like changes the bag
and just like fills in fills you up with whatever shit you need you know so you drain you're just
walking around with the bag and with the cable what like a drip yeah like a drip at all times
with the drone so you have one drone up high giving you food with one drone changing out bags with a dog
drone that's carrying your spare bags or something no the dog drone has like the piss bag and the
shipbag that walks along
no no you're thinking you're
not thinking advanced enough
this is in a society where
these dog drones and these normal drones
they're always flying around that they're not
specific for you that they weave what
you need and they just fly and they drop
the dog comes along and the dogs have
like actual dog noses and they
sniff your piss and shit and then they come
and sort it yeah
yeah so the Jones will just
fly around and you just get hooked up and they
they stay the second you step
outside it's just
the train is just fucking flying around
you know what I was in um
Swendon outlet
and I saw my first
like drone up close IRL
oh really they were filming an advert
for Swindon outlet
and it was this drone with the camera just like
they're the creepiest things
they're like
for going forward
future's going to get wild dude
yeah when the police
in this country
employ robot dogs
shit's going to
actually get nuts
because it's already happening
in America and China
where they have these robotic dogs
and they are just walking around
yeah
I've seen one in China where it was like
a quarantine one and it was just like
it saw someone it was just like
sirens going off
there's this little robot dog
like a scary voice
no it's
sit down citizen
yeah it's robocop
that's what I just said
oh sorry
I was like
Because I've seen a clip, I think it was in America,
of like one strolling out of a precinct
and everyone just like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
Yeah, this is what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's going to be genuinely scary.
Yeah, really enough, I play the game called Generation Zero,
and it's a survival game where the enemy is robots.
I was actually quite scared because it was like,
these are robot dogs that are trying to kill me.
Like, this is quite scary.
The future, that being our actual future.
Scary.
It just comes back to that termination.
It's terrifying for totalitarian states.
Because you can somewhat rely on, like,
the military of America or the police of America,
like being American and then them getting to a point
where they think,
we can't do this to the American people
because we have beliefs as Americans that we shouldn't like.
Well, like, yeah, if they're deployed all over London,
everyone's going to be taking pictures, recording it,
putting all over social media.
If that happens, maybe.
But if robots are doing it, what morals the robots have?
They just do whatever you tell them.
They're like the perfect thing for a dictatorship.
For a power structure to deploy.
Yeah.
It's like drones, like drone strikes and stuff.
There's no morality.
No, this is interesting, because it brings us something we were talking about yesterday.
And that when on these like fascist dictatorships and whatnot, it's like a circle that eats itself.
And that...
I read a really, really good article about it.
You did?
and it's like once
you can't trust the people around you
because they're your circle
so you're always going to get taken out by them
but if you replace them with robot dogs
your enemy is
nobody but yourself
it takes out that that
can there be like I'm just trying to like imagine
like a
a dictatorship like a North Korea
but where
there's actually only one
there's the dictator and it doesn't have humans around
them he's got all these like computers
or like machines that are thinking for him, advising him.
But I suppose it's theoretically possible.
I think it, no, I think that's like the direction shit's heading.
Yeah.
And it's the same for businesses as well.
The CEOs and execs are just going to be like the AI of the best of the history.
Yeah, yeah.
Advising the current leader.
Or there won't even be a current leader.
It will just be algorithm based.
Yeah.
And all their employees, why would you employ people that have,
have to go home and sleep and...
Do you think this is what, like, Jeff Bezos was already doing?
He's, like, having full conversations with, like, Steve Jobs and shit.
He goes into this weird room and it's just like, like, a scan of Einstein's brain and shit.
Let's just change shit, man.
But, but, like, Amazon is starting to use, like, robots, right?
Yeah, they are adapting the drones.
Yeah, they have, like, those weird bird-looking ones.
for like picking up packages
and yeah
the amount of jobs
that are going to just disappear
when they become
like Boston Dynamics has fucked the world
or save the world
well it depends
no because the only reason is
there'll be a point where it will be cheaper to put
humans in space than robots so
humans are the only role humans will have
as being slave labor in space to establish
colonies and then the robots come
and they just kill us
there's a right part of the population there
It's the easiest, most cost-effective way.
But then surely, like, robots is that best thing to, like, send it into space.
Yeah, it sounds expensive.
Because they could go rogue in space and come back and...
Because that's the thing...
Go rogue in space, surely human.
No, that's the thing.
Space is so vast that whoever you send out will become rogue at some point.
Why would a robot go rogue there?
You just say to them, like, do this, this and this.
They don't give it shit.
They're just robots.
Because they'll...
You can't just send the robots, because they're...
be someone who needs to work on them
right there needs to be engineers
people who know the code and the mechanical side of it
but what about when robots
can just like fix themselves yeah
you send up three that all have the capacity
to fix each other
if they knew how to fix themselves
they probably not have reproduced if they
if they reproduce these fixing themselves robots
they just come back and kill us
they need them reproduce
no if they start building other robots
yeah they can self-fix themselves
yeah that's really that's
what you want.
Yeah, but that's the ultimate enemy
that we can't kill.
Unless we program them so
their number one rule is just leave humans
alone but improve everything else.
Yeah, but that's a whole.
That's a problem because
if they're going to leave us alone,
they will just conquer everything in the galaxy
because they're immortal and then we
will be left to suffer because we
our creation is vastly
better than us.
By leaving us alone, they doom us.
This is why we have to
upload brains. We have to have
infinite robot bodies
with human brains. Infinite human brains.
But it's only going to be the brains of like
five people, Bill Gates, Elon Musk,
Obama. Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan.
And Jeff Bezos.
That's it. That's the five
personality. When your robot
body is born, that's it. That's your character
selection. You need at least one
entertainer like an alert or something
no like
a piece of dick
robot Ellen
she's the one that would doom
humanity
no I'd say
piss a dick
James Corden
it would be though
wouldn't it
if I was
if I was created as a robot
and that's the personality
they gave me
I would just self-destruct
it would just find a way
to kill myself
man
um
Well, before we go to mid-break, there's something we need to talk about.
Oh, no.
We all watched.
We've periodically kind of been mentioning the Halo television show, Paramount Plus, exclusive, streaming only.
We're on episode of five as of us recording this of the show.
I'm the only one who's seen every episode, but this latest episode has got people talking.
Because basically, they've been blue-balling everyone for, like,
five episodes teasing that the halo the halo big team battle was about to begin
um so like the last 10 15 minutes of this latest episode kind of is this huge action scene
um that we all sat down and watched because i was when i when i was watching it i was like
scream laughing um having the time of my life because i was like i've been talking about this video
game onslaught the wave of shittening but yeah it's coming and uh the just cause
movie i was just hearing about it's being made the just cause movie it's like just a bombastic
movie uh the rock signing up to do and it takes two movie um just like it's this is the beginning
of the fucking end of a video game shit um but this is the latest example where i guess like the
The idea of translating something
is as simple as...
Yeah, Master Chief jumps on a banshee,
jacks the banshee, then he shoots it with the pistol,
and then he fucking crashes it into the phantom.
He doesn't even jack it, though.
He just, like, rides it.
And he shoots his pistol into the reinforced armour,
cockpit of the banshee.
Yeah, it's got, like, shields and shit.
Yeah.
But doesn't do anything.
It's...
I honestly don't have all that much to say about it,
other than it was, like,
terrible. It was really, really bad.
Yeah, so I watched it obviously with context. You two didn't have context.
Like, what did you think?
It's absolutely atrocious because it just, it does, it feels like it's like an hour-long movie because it just doesn't end.
Yeah, it's hilarious. That's part of why I kept laughing was like the way it's paced, the way it keeps escalating.
It's like really funny to me.
Yeah.
It's also just like
Confusing
What were you confused by?
It's just
I don't know if it's the editing or
Whatever, but
There was a point where like
Chief is hanging off a banshee
And it keeps coming to him
Riding this thing
And then it shows
A different banshee
Like crashing into the ground
And then launching the MacGuffin
That they're trying to get to a certain place
Basically back
to the start of where they were.
I just thought it was really like
confusing and jumbly and it was probably to reuse
space for money reasons. Yeah, but I
had no sense of the space they were in
or where they'd gone.
The action itself
is like, schlocky,
it's kind of average.
Yeah, the CG doesn't
look very good. Yeah, I was
trying to just describe it to James where I was
saying it simultaneously
looks like they're spending, like,
a lot of money on it, but it also looks jank and cheap.
It's such a weird thing because, like, the CG is, it's clearly expensive.
It's clearly, like, there's a lot going on.
There's loads of extras everywhere.
There's, there's, like, ships, like, crashing down in the background.
There's a lot going on, and it's, it is going for, like, that war movie kind of tone.
Yeah.
Kind of trying to, it just feels like nothing is grounded in anything.
You can tell the, like, there's the CG thing happening in the back.
background and the real guys on set there's there's no like there's nothing that blends the two so it just feels
because you need like expert like directors and stuff yeah what the hell they do it because it's already a challenge anyway
when you're working with like something like lord of the rings you've got to conceptualize a troll an ork
an ent then translate it in a way that makes it like sell on screen yeah even with as amazing as that
like that trilogy is people still have like problems with the end with like the
cave troll stuff like that and that's like the fuck the best of the fucking best you know
so then doing like the halo show already has certain expectations rooted in a series from
the early like 2000s you're trying to up that to like this huge like cinematic scale
certain expectations there and the guy who directed this episode is the director of
that old ass alien movie from like 2011 2010
Battle of Los Angeles.
Yeah, like Battle L.A.,
battle Los Angeles.
And I could see,
the direction was better
than the previous episodes.
Um,
but like,
you know,
there's a little bit of a difference
between like a Peter Jackson
and a fucking like battle L.A.
Yeah.
You know?
Considering that Spielberg was supposed to be attached to this show,
he was the one that like revealed this whole show
um,
to begin with that Xbox one thing,
fucking like a decade ago or whatever.
So it's a bit like,
do you know I could
do you know who is a good match for it
Peter Jackson
Zach Snyder
no don't say that
no that was no
atrocious yeah that's what I mean
it'd be awful
well yeah
it would have better action though
maybe
it has Zach Snyder energy
he loves that
he loves that hypermaster in chief
shite
I can see him do it
and another thing I was
thinking the first time I saw it unfold as like maybe maybe some of the shit should
just be left to imagination yeah totally you know like maybe seeing a grunt in like a TV
show it's not the same as killing one in a video game this is a thing with with like
translating video games it should be animated because that's essentially what video games are they're
like they are animated and then when you have like a stupid little dibby thing
shooting a CG guy it's like whatever they're both like fake yeah but when one fake
thing that looks clearly fake is interacting with just a real guy your brain is like
mm nah well then you then the freedom you have when it is animated is you have
total freedom um like design wise how you want everything to visually look like can you
whereas yeah when there is an action scene everything has to become animated anyway
when the Spartans are running 80 miles an hour they have to be fully CG anyway it's a
fucking cartoon fucking anyway yeah and then it won't look like weird kind of like
cosplay with them like stomping around in their armor if it was all like animated
and you could have it like the weight feel correct have it visually look more
accurate maybe have all the voice act like that's another weird thing like
Cortana is the Cortana voice actor, but then the chief guy's not chief's voice.
Yeah, and he just sounds wrong.
Cortana, let's go this way.
It's this kind of shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's everything about that show, it's like so, because I would, at the same time as all of that, I was not expecting it to be this good either.
I was expecting worse than this.
So, like, each episode, I'm having this weird, like, journey where I'm like, what the fuck is this?
like what is their plan with this because at this point I'm almost convinced that like
they know how shit season one is and they're like leveraging what people like about this kind
of shit TV to just get a season one out there get a viewer base up the budgets for seasons
after once it has like something proven because I don't know what they're like doing
with like Hela what they're trying to do talking about broad like audiences and trying to
get like the old Halo audience out of it and try and get like I guess boomers to I don't know
what they're doing but it might be working with broad audiences if like if they double down
on this dumb shit this schlock shit I could see it building an audience yeah because like
halo fans were quite happy but like finally it's the chief from the books I yeah that that's
an aspect I hadn't thought about actually because that that's been like a halo meme
for a while like Chief in the books
and it's like he does the most nuts shit
and that in terms
of Halo fans that is quite a big audience
that's it like that type of stuff
I've never thought
well that's another extra weird thing though is that as someone who's
read a bunch of the old Halo books the show
keeps reminding me of things
that did happen in the books but they've been
kind of retwigged
to be something in the show
like when Chief
in this episode he like
explodes an elite's helmet
or head sorry
he's like going
punching his head makes it explode
there's like a scene in the books where
he's like a young Spartan and he has
some kind of like
showdown with some ODS
who are being assholes to him
and he basically does that to one of them
right it's like this whole like event this whole
thing like an important point
or whatever you can like see
them like trying to translate these ideas
certain like beats that sounds
sounds way more interesting yeah exactly way more interesting the way it's handled in the book
and a bunch of this stuff and the whole there's this really cool core conflict with uh who like
Cortana's based on the like science scientific character Halsey yeah she's a war criminal who only gets
away with it because the aliens just happen to invade at this certain time and they just happen to
need the technology she like invented at that moment so she just keeps to get keep getting away with
the fuck shit she's doing because it's winning the war so it's just like typical science fiction
like exploring like the conflicts of real humanity through that lens and that's that's cool that's
fun there's so much you can do with that yeah and justify the means type yeah but it's also
this like really dumb whatever yeah it it strikes me as like sort of the flash type yeah tv
yeah which it has like a huge fan base
but it's like, I can't, you know, I can't, um, what's the term, suspend my disbelief
that much, unfortunately.
Would, would you watch it there if it was like being plopped onto Disney Plus each week?
Um, I don't think so.
That's, I, it's, I, it's, I, bloody hell.
That's not what I enjoy.
Halo 4?
Halo's about gameplay.
Yeah, Halo's about me, like, managing to jump onto a banshee and jacket and then do the level that way.
Not knowing, just seeing Chief do that.
That doesn't make it cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is weird.
And they've got to figure out, like, what they want it to be.
Because if they, it feels like constant action, like this, like, war movie aesthetic each episode.
that would even make more sense
Do you know what would have made me like that whole
scene? What? If
for Chief to jump onto the banshee
if instead he threw a grenade
at his feet
ram back runs and then
yeah then I would have been like okay
like that's an understanding
of Halo
you know
so it just
there's a line
as the scene begins
where Quartana's like telling him
what to do and then he goes
Cortana
well he says
I know how the game
has played
Cortana
does he actually
yeah
well in the
before they get on the
Warhog
yeah
yeah
and then he goes
tut
but yeah
but yeah
it's cool
I'm probably
gonna watch
all of it
I'm sold
yeah
I will buy
the limited

yeah
I want to get
the little
mini figure
James
now tell the
true opinion
sick isn't it
it's generally
cool
I like it
I got a pish
Ha!
Ah, fuck!
What was that?
My toe was stuck in there.
Oh shit.
It got squashed.
No, that's fine.
Welcome to the second half of the JARCast
where we answer questions from the suggestion thread
over on R slash JAR Media.
Head over there and ask us anything you feel like.
Just like GD. Pippop did,
who left more of a warning or a concern.
Isn't it funny how people with the top comments downvote good comments in order to make theirs more popular? That's why half the comments in here have zero or minus one votes
Jha please start reading posts with one or zero votes. It will change the world
Here's what people don't understand. People think I adhere to the upvoting downvote thing on a Reddit
Sorry
I literally start at the bottom
and go up
Um
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
What was the worst experience in an uber or any kind of public transport
Would love to hear the lad's stories
Um
So excluding the gaslighting granny
We've done that one
Gaslighting Gwainty.
Yeah, at London, I remember going on the train?
Oh, fuck the...
Fuck you, Gasline, Granny.
I bet she watches Jara as well.
Yeah.
Mine would have been...
My worst experience would have been...
Would have been...
Would have been...
Probably would have been...
I don't use public transportations,
I don't have a story.
Yeah, James hates public transport.
Yeah, I've got a car here.
As a whole,
public transport is a...
Fuck.
It's a strange thing
to go on public transport, because you get
interactions.
You know, that you wouldn't normally...
Yeah. It's like a space
because there's no British people,
to interact with it yeah no that's the rule in London your feet that's the only
place you're like your feet yeah yeah better not be other people's feet but it's
different in in Wiltshire yeah in the Shire yeah in the Shire people will try and
talk to you right yeah and you gotta be you gotta be like um what's like a
Wiltshire bless kind of question well you've been doing soon no fit down day
that's the thing and then you're like gosh yes
absolutely
I don't know if it's bad to say
but I barely interact with anyone
outside of
if I'm going to let's say
M&S or whatever
coffee shop
the amount of people between my house and there
I basically interact with no one
yeah because you're in a car
no it's just like even when I'm walking around
it's just like how often do you actually
randomly stop and interact with people
I've been finding myself in shops interacting
with people way more
because I had a funny little moment
where I was buying dinner
buying a little pizza from
from Tesco
and me and this lady
were looking at the same pizza
and then we were both like
nah I don't want that pizza
and then we both walked over
to a different pizza
and I went to grab the pizza
as she did as well
and it was like oh
funny little moment
and then we had a little chat about pizzas
we were like this pizza is quite a good deal
so it wasn't like the last one left
no no there were plenty of pizzas
but we just had a little chuckle
because it was like a human moment
where we both sort of saw through
the Matrix and was like
we both were first
looking at this pizza but we decided
on this pizza you know
yeah totally
not answering the question
whatsoever but
no I'd say that kind of answers the question
no it doesn't that's like transportation
stories and I don't have any
because I'm scared to take taxis
yeah I'm trying to think of like a bad
I would take public transport to school every day for a few years.
Yeah, that was pretty bad.
Because that's also like all the other secondary school hunters hopping on.
And it's like clicky.
I remember like lots of times where the bus driver got like so frustrated.
Like he'd pull over and just be like,
stop
because people would just be such assholes
and like you're ding ding ding ding ding on the like bell and shit
and like spilling food everywhere and drinks everywhere
yeah
yeah um that reminds me though when I used to take the bus to work
the bus stop I'd get off at was like in the middle of nowhere
and the amount of times I'd press the stop button and they just keep going
oh because they weren't used to that stop I guess yeah so I'd have to walk up to
be like my stop was back there and they'd be like oh shit and then they just pull over like
on the side it was on the big road to Wumpasset yeah yeah I know the word because it's stop
and then it's downhill than uphill to run bus it so they just stop and I just have to walk up
like the grassy side or on a national speed limit a bit of road and at night because I
I'd finish at like half ten most days I'd have to stand on the side of the road there was no
lamp so I'd have to use my phone light
if my phone was dead
I just would risk
not being able to get home
the fuck
I will say
I do prefer in like
London there's like two
different designs of like the underground
trains
there's like the open one where
like the whole inside and you can see
all the way through
yeah all the way through so you can change carriage
and shit if there's like weird
weirdness happening
whereas the other ones are a bit more kind of boxed in
you're more kind of trapped
so I prefer the
open design
and you can kind of escape any
unwanted
public interactions
which is
to be fair
it's more likely in London
but most of the interactions
I've had with strangers in London
have just been fine
just asking for direction
I'm asked like for directions
all the time
when I'm in London some reason.
I don't know where the fireroom...
You fit in asphetically with London, that's why.
You look like a Londoner.
Stick em up has one for you, James.
One that's going to make you stick them up.
What did James really do to that nursery trampoline
you got Alex for Christmas?
Do we want to break this?
Do we want to tell the jarlings the truth and possibly ruin the future?
Because everything's going to be alive once I tell them the truth.
So, that they actually want...
I'm going to let you decide. No, I'm not. I'm fine either way.
I'm not. I'm not going to tell them.
Jim?
Uh, James sold it on eBay.
No, I just returned it to Amazon.
Because we gave in. It's like, we went, I, we went, I think it was on my birthday or whatever.
We were here.
And I was just like, are you just like, do you just return it?
So I was just like, okay, whatever.
Take it there that they were turned it to Amazon.
Boom.
Damn.
It's all a lie.
The cringmases have all been scripted.
I'm sorry, none of its will.
Sorry, this is the cost of truth.
I'll tell you the cost of truth.
I'll see, Reddit user, my balls are richy.
Alex, as the happy sploshes,
of the podcast, I was wondering if you perhaps have any memorable pool experiences, good, bad, etc.
If I recall, you said you used to go every week before COVID.
If the other boys have stories, I'd like to hear from them too.
Also, have you guys ever been to water parks or places like center parks?
As a kid, I remember center park ads being on the TV, which all had the same format of driving
car, arrive, go into hotel room, do some random bullshit in the woods like zip lining,
cuts of swimming pools and deck chairs, cuts a fire lit dinner or some shit.
They've never even been to centre parks, nor have I seen one.
Making me wonder, are these places even real?
Or do they just exist at its locations to test things like iPhone camera advertisements?
Did they refer to as a Splosher?
They call me a Happy Splasher.
Okay.
Why did you say Splosher?
I misread it as Splosher.
Okay, good, because Splosh is an actual thing, and we don't want to go into that.
Oh, is that like a goonth type thing?
It's on that same level, maybe.
Because I don't know what sploshing means in that context.
I only know the innocent splash.
Let's not go there.
Let's just not go into the splashing hole.
I assume Happy Splashier is referencing Happy Slapper.
Imagine it's referencing Happy Feet.
Maybe all three.
Oh yeah, Centre Parks is an actual thing.
It's like advertised...
Have you been?
I've been to the Centre Parks when I was a kid.
Because my parents fell for that British
Kind of book
Have you ever been to Batlins?
No, I've not been to Batlins.
Have you been to Butlin's?
No.
What is Butlin's actually seems like hell?
It's just like a beach resort where they have.
It's like, you know, the rejects and like Britain's got talent.
They all end up.
but it's like a really bad hotel resort okay so imagine like a hotel and a resort in
meyorka you know like sunny it's you're getting all the lovely you know holidayness and then imagine
that in england where it's raining and all you've got for entertainment is x-factor rejects where in the
country is it all over oh there's they're everywhere yeah yeah oh it's not just one
no it's like a chain of crap resorts on no a good analogy would be that it's the
Greggs of resorts.
Yeah.
No, it's where the Greggs people go on holiday.
Yeah.
Okay, that's a good way of putting it, I suppose.
Yeah, I never went to Centre Parks, but I do remember those adverts.
Yeah.
Still get them.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I'm...
Because our, our mum is very opinionated on things, and she...
I think she...
Imagine what she's going to say.
she's always sort of seen us as a family that's like always above that sort of thing
so we end up staying in like just some horrendous caravan out in a field in wales
we're above butlins like a clean hotel or the hotel in london we stayed in that time
yeah we're just like wires sticking on the wall in like spikes everywhere
and we're above butlins we shan't ever go to butlins
No, because your mum is that.
I can imagine what she'd say about Bucklands.
Like, you might not know.
I can hear it perfectly.
Yeah.
But I went to Centre Parks and as a kid, yeah, it's not that bad.
You're widely on your bicycle all around.
You go into the caffeine, you're eating donuts.
And like nature and being in the woods is a big part of it.
I reckon Centre Parks is probably like a decent place for a family to go on holiday.
It's definitely better than Bucklands.
Yeah, and there's like activities.
and stuff like you don't have to worry about that as a family to to chat shit against my
mum i don't think you should look down on people for wanting an easy holiday yeah
especially if kids are involved you want that shit to be as simple and easy you want
stuff entertainment them yeah so you can chill out yeah like it's a holiday for the whole family
not just because the kids don't want to sit in a room and listen to some music and maybe
kids don't want to sit in a terrifying caravan in a field in Wales full of spiders and like a damn
but we got that picture of floss from there yeah yeah it was worth it that's how it comes from
and um god that no one does you do so fucking depressed for that like weird like 60s 50s like
yeah and like sofa it looks like an image from like 60s no 1910
20.
Yeah.
It's been coloured.
Yeah.
Horrendous.
Horendous.
So, yeah, if you have kids and you want to go on holiday,
yeah,
go wherever the fuck you want.
It's cheap.
Taking your kids aboard is like a big thing.
It's like such an expensive and passports.
And then if you're going to board,
you need something to entertain them.
So it's like,
it was normal as all.
It's not going to do it.
But,
but,
yeah,
because kids aren't going to want to, like,
walk around and look at cathedrals and shit.
You know?
go to drinking you know yeah so yeah yeah yeah if your parents want to take you in a
caravan or butlins say butlins yeah so mum please no no that that caravan is
legit why I'm phobic of spiders do you think so yeah really that bad yeah because
that was I was no do you remember that because yeah the caravan had two bedrooms
And, like, the beds for, like, the, the room we were supposed to sleep in, I was like, no.
And slept out in the main area thing.
Yeah, that's where I ended up sleeping as well.
But he was just a caravan?
Because my parents have a caravan, and what you were saying does not match the...
It was a caravan, but, like, from the 70s, probably.
They're tiny, caravans aren't big.
There's no bedroom.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was huge.
Yeah.
Well, not...
I wouldn't say.
huge, but it was like one
that you imagine like a four by four
telling. Yeah, well when I say
room, like these are tiny rooms.
Like tiny. Yeah, very small rooms.
Because my parents'
caravan has one room on one end
and that's a double bed in the west is just like
kitchen lounge mixed into one.
Yeah, there was no kitchen. There was no
kitchen. There was a two bedrooms
and a lounge. Yeah.
Yeah, it's where I first saw the shiny.
No, no, that was the static
caravan.
That one wasn't scary.
That one...
Yeah, that one was fine.
That one had a kitchen and shit,
and that one was fine.
But the one I'm thinking of with that picture
was just horrendous.
It was actually quite a good way to first watch The Shining,
in like a scary caravan in Wales.
Yeah, in the middle of Wales, just like...
Totally.
In the dead of night when everyone else is asleep, yeah.
What was the question there?
It was actually asking me about swimming.
Swimming, yeah.
Um...
Yeah, nothing too crazy, to be honest.
You haven't swam recently, have you?
No, not for a while.
I haven't gone to a swimming pool.
I used to like it there.
I always liked going in the deep end when I was a kid
and swimming down and touching the bottom
because you can feel like the water crushing your brain.
Yeah, I used to like that,
but as you get older, things like that are less appealing.
Yeah, and just kind of scary.
Yeah, yeah, like seeing how high you can jump on trampoline
and stuff like that, suddenly there's a lot of scary.
Oh no, that's the fun part
It's also exhausting
Yeah, you go a lot higher when you weigh
Yeah
What I weigh compared to what I weigh
When I was like 10 or whatever
See, I
My answer to that
A simple question of I can't swim
I'll see this after then
Yeah, I can't
It's like I go to a beach and it's like
I don't go in because I'm just scared
So I'll just be like
Boo.
Will.
The blimp fruit.
How's this to say, hey, Jarl.
Alex, thank you for the shout-out, and it was great to meet you.
I'm Will from TK. Max.
When I spotted you, I was only 95% sure it was you.
But when I saw you take a quick browse at the dog toys,
for some reason that confirmed it 100% for me.
I'm sure there were a couple things I wanted to ask you,
but obviously at the time they escaped me.
I actually met Jim and James and Rubin in Sainsbury's years ago.
Maybe 2016, 2017.
they might remember that it was me
and a friend of mine who still listens to Joe
I remember I remember you guys tell me about that
because I wasn't there for some reason
because I was just like, talky
I think I had food gums in my hand at the time
like specifically
food gums
yeah yeah yeah
I remember that
yeah I think that was the first time
I was ever
recognized by anyone
because he just said
pussy diarrhea or something as we walked past
yeah well pussy die
while quince or whatever
fuck
And it was like in Sanis
in Kahn and it was like, what?
Fuck?
He had a question for us
but that also got me thinking
maybe there should be
like a tally we have going for
when someone recognizes us
that we can have so there's like
a building thing going on
let me explain
normal
or curry
what we ask them
yeah
whatever they say
we add to the tally
what if they don't know
get the to then
oh yeah
it doesn't count
that would be really awkward
though like
kow your thing
and they're just like
not deep enough
in jar lord
no that's like
well then
then you just say
well then we just turn around
and walk
yeah we actually
we kill them
you say
fucking
yeah yeah in a way
it's so like
yeah
it's like a test
it's a trial
of comment
yeah
really make it
intense
witch
which
Go on then, which
Okay, no
That sounds good
So yeah
If you see us like in the distance
Just shout
Normal
And then we'll add it to the tally
Yeah
If we're like driving past
Just shout normal
Yeah
See I
No, I've never been spotted
By myself
You have
I have not by myself
In London
Yeah
That's with us
No but you were targeted
Yeah
That's because you won away
but other than that
so not in our
regent
only in London
must to be expected though
I was surprised
being in TK Max
because normally
you're safe
in there
was Will quite a scary
guy
yeah he really went for me
Alex just saw him
and just went
oh dog toys
if I go to dog toys
I go to dog toys
because I don't think
I've ever
in calm
because that's the first time
in Chippenham
that's where TK Max is
literally if that TK
Max, any point on the weekend, you're guaranteed probably to see one of us there.
Yeah, basically.
100%.
I'm there every weekend.
He did actually have a question for us.
Do you think you'd get the brain chip when it's just the norm and everyone has it?
Yes.
This chip does all sci-fi things like recording your memory so you can watch them later,
accessing the internet, etc.
Okay, no, I would say yes for one reason, and it's a karnioloic.
I would say yes
because if by the point it's a social norm
I think that is too powerful
it's easy to like say now
when it's not a social norm
yeah I'll do the thing that's not the social norm
easy
you know but it will be the social norm
yeah exactly that's what I'm saying
so in this instance
right I'd probably be like
well go on then
yeah I would
I don't know how to feel about memories
being like recorded though
well yeah sure that's actually
That would be a thing, though.
But could you delete memories?
Oh, that, oh.
Yeah.
This is that black mirror episode, man.
It's like, you know how your phone gives you, like, pops up saying four years of day?
You get that, but it's a moment of, like, abuse or something called trauma-thlasic, and it's just like, no, no, because if it was like, I say, it's like, Apple branded.
It would be like, we've, we've, we've tailor made the algorithm to show you your best days, this kind of shit.
Yeah, because it would, I know when you're, like, the trauma algorithm will, like, yeah, filter out anything bad.
no but that surely that could really like change people yeah it could change your whole
personality if if you're just like oh i i don't like that memory of this significant thing
that happened to me if i just delete it then it can't affect me right it can't change who
i am we'd be a we'd be it would just be people walking around that in their minds have never
made mistakes.
Yeah, everyone would be a fucked up celebrity.
Yeah.
No, I'm not having the brain chip.
I'm pure, I'm a pure.
Imagine if you deleted every cringy memory.
You would be cringe.
You would then have to be cringe again to learn to not be.
That's what I mean.
You'd have no growth.
And if you do have growth, you're reliving your growth constantly
because you unconsciously will wipe the cringy memory.
There's too much control.
Yeah.
We need our brains to hold on to crim.
Humans need to be flawed.
We need to fuck up.
We need to be able to fuck up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what Star Wars episode...
Don't say.
Nine taught me.
Okay.
Eight.
Oh, shit.
Let's end on this one from The Uncanny Broker.
Kind of bringing everything full circle.
Comment on the just released news that Jason M.O.
Will lead the Minecraft movie.
yes
speaking of video game movies
and all this
Jason Mamawa yes
it depends how topless he's going to be
in the Minecraft movie
his voice will be quite topless I'm sure
oh wait is it animated
it's fucking Minecraft
it's not gonna be live in the fuck sake
I know it's just
well I hope they do it live action
for our sake
just to see him
CG just like square them out
yeah
square Jason Mammaa
that's fantastic news
um yeah i wasn't sold on it until i heard it was jason mow and now i'm in yeah um
the warkling used to be in he needs to be a little side cat maybe he needs to be like a little
pig yeah yeah and then yeah have a pig and the chicken comes over and that's kevin heart voice
little came yeah and then you can have like maybe you can have dream you can have dream you can
have dream in there as well oh yeah definitely if you don't have dream stuff going on you've already
missed a beat you've already fucked it yeah
Sky does Minecraft
Well, maybe not anymore
Okay, maybe not
Yeah, I think he's safe
He was in Fregear, wasn't it?
Yeah, he wasn't, yeah
The west of the Mount safe though
None of them are safe
What about Sat Jephtze?
Lion Maker?
No
Dream isn't safe either though
It's funny that you have to kind of
filter the
Minecraft issues you're like
fucking abuse
You said fucking Skyder's Minecraft.
He's been cancelled now.
Yeah, there's a none.
Dream is gone.
There's Dan the Diamond Minecraft and that's it.
He's the one.
The Diamond Minecraft.
The Diamond Minecraft.
Who's that guy?
He does, like, he was notorious for doing all those like...
Covers.
No, no, no, no.
Oh, there was...
The Jemistrily covers.
There was him.
Yeah, Captain Sparkle's.
He's fine, but no, I was thinking of...
I think he's called, like, futuristic hub.
He did all the, like, Minecraft sex.
Yeah.
Shit.
He should be in it.
Yeah, that's who I was trying
Yeah, he should definitely be on it
He should animate it
He should animate it
He is probably like
The type of animated
Illumination would hire
Is there
Is there a game or series
That has more of its content
Creators, cancelled for abuse
and sexual allegations than Minecraft
No, but surely it's also just like a quantity thing
What game has more?
More challenge?
channels associated it
to it
than Minecraft
oh there must be
something like that
Fortnite
yeah I'm thinking
Fortnite
but then I don't know
Cooler G's
Minecraft's had years
on Fortnite
I wouldn't say
Cooler Duty
because it's just
too vast
it's too much
but that's a
record that is quite
impressive
yeah
impressive
like it's in like
wow that's like
insane
yeah
fucked up
yeah
fucked up
Well, on that note
I'll see on the next one
Yep, bye
Paisley's so cringy when you can
This is from the back
Oh yeah, really cringy
Hello
Hello
Hey hey
Hey hey
Bye
Thank you.
